Me: You know those y/n fics? Yeah, I never really read them in my name
Friend: why?
Me: It's too much work
Friend: (In disbelief) your NAME is too much work?
Me: (shrugs) well, most of the times I read fanfics is for stress relief, and because I'm stressed, my brain capacity is only capable of processing easy stuff, and changing y/n to my name is too much work
Friend: But reading requires more brain capacity! And I know what kind of fanfics you read, it has complicated plots and romance and fancy vocabularies!
Me, thinking: Well maybe I just don't like imagining myself acting as not me
Me, trying to put it in words: It's just too much work. Besides, I much prefer to think of them as their own character, y'know?
Friend: Uh-huh, sure. But we're getting nowhere, you were asking me a fanfic recommendation, how did we stray so far-
