If it was a woman narrating I would have found her awesome but because it’s a man I’m like gross! Ottessa loves fingers in mouths huh.

Was hoping for an Otessa deep cut, but this is just one of the stories in homesick for another world. You can also read it for free online. In true Otessa fashion, the narrator is gross asf. It always seems worse when it’s a man. I guess that makes sense.

He has classic ED behavior, being super judgemental of both himself and others appearances. He seems to think he deserves someone out of his league while also aware of the harsh reality that he’s out of shape, bulimic, acne and rash-covered. He’s so me!
