For the longest time, I would have answered that it’s pretty much all self insert for me. I have a rather active imagination when I’m daydreaming, and when I’m reading a story or something it’s not that I imagine myself being the small one, but I do kinda put myself in their shoes. And then about a year ago I started writing my own stories and found so much joy in that. So whenever I’m thinking about scenarios for characters that I’m writing, those I do usually imagine from the outside.
