I think if I ever managed to write a self insert* it would be largely about wanting to be left alone
*has failed spectacularly so far

Do you want a relationship for Selfinsertius the Hero? or do you just feel like you kinda have to for it to be a happy ending
no dirty pun intended

Actually way waaaahhhhaaaay too much fiction is about someone walking in and saying they're awesome and then being awesome despite being really quite annoying, and never getting smacked as they should *cough*House*cough*
but maybe* you can be awesome and save all the other poor fucked up hot messes?
*idk like I said I fail at this

Aw don't make the guy a demon that needs to be saved. Hey you know what, you can make him an asshole that saves himself from assholism by learning, not by being saved by the Heroine. Because it's not her job to save assholes.
Oh hey you reached that very same conclusion
Maybe all the assholes figure out and do a support group and become better. So the world improves a little. Sigh. Maybe I'm just sad about rl

Maybe Selfinsertius is awesome but needs to be saved themselves from some badness that despite being awesome they cannot help, such as debilitating fear or being locked up in a cave or something else, something that even being awesome can't just fix
Maybe I need to stop pouring my personal stuff in a small pile next to your pile of personal stuff, that might be rude. Let me know.

Maybe Selfinsertius is dating a Good Guy but good guy has Unfortunate Crush on Bad Guy, and Selfinsertius has to help Good Guy with his Issues
Dunno about you but I do like a Goodguy/Badguy unhealthy attraction without having to be the diagnosable idiot myself ;)
