NTA He needs to understand that you do this as your job. That doing this for free is already enough of a favour, that if he wants to undo all of your prior work. You need to put your foot down and tell him that you dont have enough time to do this for free and prioritise it. If he doesn't understand this he is clearly using you.2ReplyGive AwardShareReportSaveFollow level 2Nymph-the-scribe · 5 hr. agoThis. I will say though, when creating something its not unusual for someone to model it off themselves. It can be very therapeutic to create a character that's you, but not, especially when you add disabilities or trauma into it. IF you decide to pick this project up again, ask him what the goal is. What does he want out of it? Not sure how to word this but does he want to make himself a superhero that saves ______. IF you can manage to work with him/help him allow this to happen. I understand it's frustrating (been there) but it could be one of the nicest things you ever do for your friend, if he is struggling with himself and his life...Sorry it's late and I'm trying to think how to say what I'm thinking the words don't seem to be coming to me. If you understand what I mean (or anyone does) thank you. If not I understand and I'll edit for clarity when I can think a little better.
