Henry,

You are a completely fictional character. I am a schizophrenic teen girl. This was going to be a love letter, but it's too scary to write about how much I am genuinely obsessed with a man that doesn't exist on a space on the internet...however, i can still talk about the impact you've had on my health and how I see myself. Even though you aren't particularly confirmed to have any disorders, you've helped me cope with a lot of my own. Your antisocial and avoidant traits I've seen a lot in myself, for a very long time. It makes me really happy to see that in a character, and it's represented in a way that isn't genuinely insanely stigmatizing. Not only that, but my addictive habits too. The corny ass, "I've always wanted to be a Mii" line, has always stuck with me, because for a very long time, I've always felt that way.


I made SULLAVAN to cope with the fact that a genuinely sentient Mii like Henry does not exist. I experienced actual grief thinking about that for a very long time due to my severe psychosis. I am very dependent on technology, due to my autism- it's a special interest. Especially video game consoles. I grew up mainly playing the Wii and the Playstation, and seeing that Henry is from a Wii-based creepypasta (ANOTHER one of my special interests)... I genuinely just. Love him lots. SULLAVAN is meant to be based off of me and my delusions. He's a humanization of something I've hallucinated for a very long time- the men in warning signs coming to life. It always stressed me out, but overtime I learned it wasn't genuinely happening. That I was safe. Henry is a character that I find makes me feel very safe.
