allegedly progressive bisexual misogynist with glasses trying desperately to cling to heteronormativity through his transgender partner is an essential archetype

MY THEM!!
As Norman needs no introduction, I'll start with my OC.
[ID: Two drawings of John Vasilyev, one of him as a human, the other as an otter. He is a fat man with short hair, glasses, very tired eyes, and a broken nose. He's unshaven. The first shows him saying something with a transparent speech bubble, and the second shows him as an otter covering his face, with the caption, "i am so divorced". End ID.]
Jasilyev (as he shall henceforth be known) has no backstory to speak of, don't even worry about it, he just spawned out of nowhere at the motel and thought, "wow! a very hospitable nervous dog of a person! honestly kind of looks like [REDACTED]" and later appended "murderer" to that, then offered to go on a road trip. He's a loveless aromantic; his affinity with death is the closest thing he experiences to a crush.
Jasilyev is genuinely trying to change as a person, but he conceptualizes that as something he needs to do before he gets to die. As such, their initial dynamic is this really uncomfortable blend of patronizing (nervous dog) and threatening (murderer <3). Stares off into the distance. Which I'm just now realizing means absolutely nothing and relates to no ideas I have about Norman Bates. Anyway. He gets better, that's kind of the whole point of the story, learning boundaries of oneself and others and how to navigate the necessarily fraught and temporary nature of any sort of relationship.
At the same time, Jasilyev is rather distant. He's developed a defense around the "I would never hurt you because I love you" that Norman has internalized as justification, and as such, it's... honestly easier for Norman to approach, especially as they're both neurodivergent-- there isn't as much need to mask around someone who barely puts effort into social norms, and doesn't claw at your delusions or imply you need hospitalization. If you derive meaning and safety from being cared for, that patronizing might not immediately scrape in the same way it does for someone else (though it definitely does wear after a while, especially when that care is applied without consideration for one's wants).
TL;DR needlessly bisexual suicide plot turns into a ferocious independent and a desperate codependent trying to find a middle ground
Pseudo-self-insert is a really funny role for an OC to have. He’s me. No he’s not. He’s heavily based on my experiences. He’s got his own very different experience. He’s my bad ending. He’s incredibly self-indulgent. He’s even divorced.

Norman groaned and crawled over him, so they were nose to nose. “Stop treating me like a child.” “I can’t trust you to say no.” “And that means I can’t want anything?” He kissed him. For a moment John accepted it, then his smile faded and he pushed him off. “Don’t. I know you’re using it to win an argument.” “All’s fair in love and war,” Norman laughed, rolling back on his side. “Oh, don’t call this love.” A cold stone fell in his stomach. Of course. It was something sick. He sighed and sat up, opening his mouth to apologize, but instead said, “It matters to me. Don’t you…?” “I don’t.” Norman looked away. “C’mon, I wouldn’t lie to you like that.” “Why not?” It sounded plaintive, childish, even to him, his tone and his stutter and most of all his words. He didn’t even need John’s answer, it was apparent as soon as he heard himself; there was no right, of course, not for the two of them. Still, Norman thought, plucking at his collar button, as long as he was engaging in all this debauchery, drinking wine, talking the occult, disobeying Mother, he might as well subsist on more than table scraps. “Would you love me if we—?” “No,” John said. “Why not?” “You’re drunk.” “N-Not by that much. We’re conversing.” A calm had settled over him like nothing he knew before, he was floating slightly out of his body, it was the perfect moment— really, the only way he could keep the vomit down.

[ID: Simple doodle of John & Norman next to a tumblr post. John crosses his arms and says, "Everyone's always like 'Jesse Pinkman just wanted to have a father figure (several crying emojis)' well he got on. He got Walter White. That's just what fathers are like 👍👍." Norman, smiling nervously, says thru an anonymous message, "i think your dad just might not be very good maybe", to which John replies, ("You don't have a father."). End ID.]
