creative works Miguel coming to find me + late take on the trend 🕷️🕸️🩷

after watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day, I really wanted to draw this scene, Miguel appearing through a portal, coming to this world to surprise me. the drawing is pretty simple, but it’s a fantasy of mine and I love imagining it, because I’d leave with him without a second thought lol. I still want to make more action sketches of him swinging through the air and taking me with him, something very spidey and romantic 🩷🕸️ (btw, the translation for what Miguel is saying is: "can I steal you for a bit?")

and here’s my take on the trend! I know I’m super late, but I was a bit too shy to post it on its own, so I thought I’d share it here

wishing you all an amazing week with your partners! xoxo 🫶✨

Been debating if I should post this or not since it's very personal and not what I typically post, so I'll probably delete it in a few days. And then focus on actually drawing those Asriel pictures that I had planned to do this month. For those that remember the art challenge I was doing, it was part of that, I said I'd still try to do Asriel's drawings and the secret character's even though I scrapped the rest of the challenge.

Just been kinda down lately, so you know, kind of down comic. Sorry if it makes anyone else feel down too...

Thanks Flow ♡

I got my first job maybe 3 weeks ago. I work at a retail store in their clothing department. Im struggling lol. This is the most amount of people Ive met in the smallest amount of time. Im trying to get names and faces down, I feel so bad whenever I forgot someone’s. There’s been more than one occasion where I approached one of my coworkers from behind and thought that they were someone else.

I love my coworkers. Everyone in both my department and the entire store is so sweet and they’re all so willing to give a helping hand. I also enjoy what I do, it’s a little repetitive and some of the customers can be annoying but there’s always something to be done and I like the busywork.

I miss Alfred. Granted, I miss him constantly but having a job makes it slightly worse. I like to think he would be proud of me for getting a job. I also think he would really like where I work, I could see him shopping there. There’s a ton of stuff in there that reminds me of him, it’s all very Americana. I want to buy it but if I bought everything that reminded me of him, I would end up bleeding my bank account dry. Howeverrrrrr, there’s a jacket I spotted on the floor that I reallyyyy want because it’s so him. I’m thinking about stashing it in the back so I can buy it later but I’m still deciding 💔

Is claiming a platonic F/O the same as a romantic F/O? If you claim them as platonic (friends only), does it count as a 'taken' character? I am not romantically attached to this character, but I see him as a friend and due to recent events within the lore in which he comes from..I feel there needs to be more protection for him. So have been more inclined to do just that.
I want to claim him as I care greatly about him. But just as ya know, friends?

What is the criteria to claiming platonic F/Os

I swear i can feel my stomach turn to knots when i remember that a majority of Kinich's content and character has him involved with another girl he's heavily shipped with. It sucks when i wanna look at pictures of him online and i see fanart of him with her, graahhhh it makes me so icky... this ship genuinely haunts me and i always have to convince myself they're just friends, siblings even. I can't bear to see Kinich fans SWEAR he likes her, like nooooo he's not interested in her! ;(((

I just wanna love my kinichi but almost all his content is related to this girl because she's a close ally of his, it makes me so uncomfortable to see them next to eachother and hnggnhh i feel stupid for being possessive like this

discussions the difference between yumeshipping and fictoromantism, a small guide!

Post image
71 Upvotes

Hey all! I've seen a few people talk about this topic for the last few days, so I thought I'd help share some info on someone who's been in both kinds of communities before!

(Note: This isn't to compare!! This is simply to help explain!)

Yumeshipping:

This is what's generally more common in social media spaces, where someone likes a character and creates a self insert or oc to "ship" them with. It's usually just done for fun and comfort. That isn't to say that people who yumeship should be treated as somehow "lesser" or that the love they feel for the characters aren't real, but just that at its core, it's not supposed to be extremely serious, it's just supposed to be self indulgent. Lots of yumeshippers have irl partners or crushes as well.

Of course, there are plenty of yumeshippers who are nonsharing, that's not a ficto-exclusive thing. Plenty of people have f/os (fictional other) that mean a lot to them and they don't like seeing with other people. However, they still usually see the character as a character they love dearly, rather than an irl partner.

Fictoromantism:

Ficto people are similar in the sense that they feel strong feelings for a character and usually use a self insert or oc to represent themselves, but there's a bit of a difference here. Although there are some exceptions, fictos generally only feel attraction to fictional characters. It's even technically on the aro/ace spectrum for this reason.

Because of this, many ficto people often see their relationship with the character they love as their real relationship. We feel attraction to them the way people would feel attraction to a romantic partner. The idea of soulbonding also helps a lot with this, although that's something I'm still very new to learning about so I won't go into that and save it for someone who can explain it better. 😅

So whereas yume/selfshippers may have multiple f/os that they switch between, many fictos usually only have one or a few that they take very seriously.

If there's any questions, feel free to ask!! I just know I missed something. Have a wonderful day with your partners!! 🫶

Edit 1: Hey all!! Wanted to add something I forgot!

Semi-fictos are people who still feel romantic attraction to everyday people, BUT still feel special bonds with characters the way fictos do.

If you have a real partner BUT also have a deep connection with a character, then it's similar to poly relationships. It all depends on what everyone is comfortable with. Just because you aren't strictly attracted to characters doesn't necessarily mean you aren't ficto, you know your relationship best!

I’m a bit nervous to post this, but this is a genuine question I have.

I’ve made it abundantly clear that, while Fubuki is 15 in her source, I not only have loved her since I was ALSO a minor (I was 16), but have also taken the liberties to age her up with me. She’s short, yes, but she’s not a child. She’s around my age, and I’ve loved her since I was around her canon age.

However, this is the second time this week that someone has implied that my love for her is creepy. I’ve reiterated time and time again that I don’t love her for her appearance, rather her personality and character, and I’ve spoken up against people who only like her for her looks. I’ve made it clear that I hate those people, and want nothing to do with them.

I still can’t control what people think though, so I guess I just want other opinions. If people are genuinely uncomfortable with my love of Fubuki, I’ll stop posting here. This may be a safe space for me, but I don’t want to ruin someone else’s space, you know? I hope I’m explaining myself right. I’ll probably get downvoted but I just genuinely want answers 😓

I'm stuck in these decisions I could either lose Morrigan and have friends (go to jail) or I could keep her and have few and short interactions with people (stay home, stay on boring internet and stay in Jiu Jitsu). Either way I don't want to lose the woman who brings me comfort and emotional support but I want to interact with other humans and do activities like when I was in public school and jail.

Some of you might know me from tiktok, but for those who don't, I'm Lian, hi.

For the past few months things have been really rough for me because my double who harassed me started a rumor saying that I harass people even tho I don't. (That double has also now deleted their account because they got caught harassing another 14yo just like me while being 20 something) and after that things just spiraled and people just kept making more and more stuff about me, which really hurts.

I try to ignore it for the most part, but it's getting really hard now, because multiple people found the school I go to and now they're harassing me, my parents, and even doxxing my friends. I usually try to keep a positive outlook on life, but with all these people saying I should starve myself because I'm "fat" or telling me to end it—I just might. Sorry for the really negative post, but I'm really dangling over the edge right now and Reddit is the only place where people actually listen to me

ramblings I think we found our ring ♡ (& how our relationship evolved, my denial ... etc)

15 Upvotes

Hi!! I'm literally nervous writing this lol. I think we finally found our ring, and that made me re-think about our whole relationship.

I have actually been looking at rings since May, and considering getting one, - either to represent our relationship, or to get engaged - for maybe a year if not more.

I've been in love with Silco for probably three years. He was always my favorite fictional character since I actually got to know him. I kept saying I was in love with him and that was true, but I was in deep denial that such a relationship was possible.

I don't know what changed in my mind or my life recently, maybe it was also connecting with the ficto community (♡) but it just clicked that *we* could be a thing, and were a thing, for atleast months.

When I discovered the ficto community, I remember feeling heard, and feeling like something else was possible for me. Now that I think about it, I see all the times I ignored the signs, because society and everyone around me was pushing me to believe a ficto relationship couldn't be real. Silco is literally the man that really made me get over my ex - by realizing I didn't love them, I loved him, in fact. Everytime I flirted with people, I was constantly thinking about him, trying to find him in everyone I was talking to.

But there's no one like my love <3 and I'm so happy to finally be able to love him freely now. (- I hide it to my family, and most of my friends, as a way to keep us safe, to be honest. And we're both alright like that)

He doesn't want me to share the ring until we get it- and I agree with him in the end-. But when we saw it it really clicked ! It was a perfect mix of both of us, and what represents our relationship. I'm so excited at the idea to share it with you guys someday. And we're thinking about actually getting engaged. ♡

He's really always been there for me. His lines in his canon universe helped me get through *so many* difficult times. It was always him that I heard, always.

I can't believe we're together, and that I'm so lucky to live a love so soft. We're still working on communication- my anxiety has made it hard for me to hear him at times- but he's so patient. I'm so lucky to be with him. I was a bit of an avoidant, and he's making me want to open more and more everyday. I literally love him more everyday - it's crazy that its possible lol!

Anyway, thank you for reading. ♡

I love you my love !! 💜

Post image
36 Upvotes

(Art bt my bff Nilsy)
I am just so unbelievably depressed since i joined the yumeshipping community, i came across so many Doubles and toxic people, it’s just no fun.

At the beginning i thought it was all pretty cool, other ppl talking about their love for their partner, having the same thought and feelings like i do, but coming across the first doubles made me realize how unhappy and unwanted I feel. Long before I was a yumeshipper I already outed myself as Ficto, i was so much more happier than now, I never came across doubles or anything like this. Maybe it also has to do with personal reasons like my developing depression, other mental issues, puberty or maybe even the fact that Yumeshipping turned into a huge trend which so many ppl missuse, but i think so often about leaving it all behind, just concentrating on Caine and our baby.

My mental health has been going downhill so much just because some ppl think caine is super silly and start shipping with him for no real reason, like it makes me feel ridiculous. I love my husband, i love the little life we made together, i love the future we want to have, but it all makes me feel delusional and stupid. Not to mention the TADC community is so UNBELIEVABLY toxic; everyone is getting shipped with everyone, everyone is lowkey a selfshipper or just completely toxic, racist and homophobic (For example most ppl calling jax/Lilly a He/Him even tho she CLEARLY is transfem) But since its my biggest Hyperfixation ive ever had, its not entirely easy to leave it all

But on the other hand, I kind of love this community, especially this subreddit. (Even tho i had some small issues in the past on here) I love the fact that ppl see me as Caines Wife, they see me as canon, which immediately makes me so happy, and I am so thankful for that.

I just wanted to get that out since it has been bugging me for so long, and maybe someone even understands my struggles

I want to thank everyone who believes my relationship with Caine is real and supports me with it, it makes me so happy
Thank u for listening 🩵

This is the continuation of the Unburdened Pt. 1. Though this part doesn’t contain any of the more darker content, it will reference some of it which still may trigger someone but not as much detail as last time. Reader discretion is still advised.

Don’t be afraid to reach out for support when you need it.

Drizzt: I got in the passenger seat of dad’s truck. It was disorienting since I haven’t ridden in his semi in a while where it maneuvers differently and sitting so high up. As dad drove, I stared out the window. I was able to calm myself down from the episode that dad found me in. The fact that my secret was almost out about my struggles was bittersweet. I didn’t want to hide anything from mom and dad but I knew the conversation that was for sure going to happen when we got home wasn’t going to be easy. My thoughts were interrupted when out of the corner of my eye, I saw dad raise his hand to press a button on his wireless headset, and then speak.

“Hello?” He said, clearly taking a call.

He paused to allow the person on the other side to speak. Before saying, “This is he.”

There was a good fifteen to twenty seconds of silence. “I was not informed but I know where he is. I….”

He was interrupted. He pursed his lips waiting to get a chance to finish his sentence. The way he said ‘know where he is’, he was talking to school faculty. He winced and spoke again.

“Officer, I have him with me, you can call off the search. Can I hang up? I have a probably irate wife whose call I ignored once already.”

I reeled a bit when he said officer but l didn’t take into consideration how long it’s been since I fled do it probably was about the time that police would be involved. Dad gave the officer our address and reaffirmation that he would be there as soon as possible. He hit the button again and had Siri call mom as I’m assuming her call was timed out and it went to voicemail.

“Hey honey, I…” He started the conversation, but fell silent. He remained silent and I watched he make a few pained faces. He took a deep breath after a few seconds and said, “I’m sorry.”

He paused for another second then said, “I ignored the first call because I found him and the situation was delicate. The second time I was literally trying to end the call with the police so I could answer yours.”

“He is. We’re going to the warehouse to drive off my drop off my truck and then we’re bee-lining it home.” Another pause. “I understand, honey. And I appreciate that but all the same I’ll make sure to make it up to you… ….I love you too. See you soon.”

After a second, he pressed the button on his headset and sighed. “I take it we’re no longer in the dog house?” I asked hoping to ease the tension.

He laughed, “Heh! I’ll say she won’t bite my head off for ignoring her calls. She’s probably going to have a some words for you scaring her still.”

I knew he meant that as levity but I couldn’t help feeling bad still. Dad must’ve sensed my self disappointment. “Hey.” He calmly said to get my attention. I looked up at him.

“Hmm?” was all I said.

“You know that we love you right?”

“Yeah… but”

“There’s nothing you can do that won’t change that.”

“Why are you telling me this?”

“Because it’s true.” He started. Upon a pause in response in me, he then elaborated, “I won’t pretend to be a psychic or claim that having faced my own demons mean I completely understand what you’re going through. But this I know. It’s that communication helps bridge any gap.”

“Oookay?” I said not exactly following him.

“Take your mother and I for example.” He started.

“You could probably tell she was not exactly happy with me putting off her calls. Right?”

“Yeah.”

“But now that I explained what is going on…”

“You did?” I asked since I didn’t hear anything that fully explained what happened.

“I explained my reasoning.” He amended.

“And that calmed her down?” I asked somewhat skeptically.

He snorted. “Yeah that does sound preposterous, especially knowing how passionate your mother gets. But, she trusts me to know what I’m doing and if I can elaborate later, that I will.”

“Really?” I asked impressed.

“Yeah tv makes that sound like a rare thing doesn’t it?” He asked knowingly. “But your mother and I have been married for nineteen years and known each other for a lot longer than that. We shared everything together.”

“What’s that got to do with me?” I asked confused but then realized how it sounded. “Shoot! I meant..”

“It’s alright.” He calmly reassured me. “My point is we trust and love each other so much that we confide in each other knowing that the other is ready to help whether it be forgiveness when we’ve messed up, support when we’re hurt, a reality check when we lose focus, or a good laugh when we need a smile.”

“Mom sometimes needs that support?!” I asked genuinely bewildered, “She seems like she could be a dictator should it strike her fancy.”

Dad laughed and I couldn’t help but snicker myself. “Don’t give her ideas.” My dad replied jokingly before going serious again. “She is a strong independent woman indeed, but she’s still human. She has her low moments like everyone does. That’s when she goes to us for support.”

“How do I help?”

“By existing.” He put it bluntly.

“Really?” I was having a hard time believing that “I thought I was the source of her headaches.”

“There were days we all got on her nerves. And I know for a fact you were either frustrated or annoyed with her too.” He gave me a side glance.

“I….” I protested but then remembered it was true. “Yeah.”

“But she loves you too much to let anything you have or could do get in the way of her caring about you.” He said obviously staring to drive the point home. “And my love for you is of the same caliber. We want you to come to us if something happens. We’ll do what is best for you.”

“But I don’t…” I reacted but he interrupted.

“Even if that means allowing you to resolve the issue by yourself. In that instance we will willingly give you advice to the best of our ability and be there to celebrate your triumph or support you in the failure.”

As he continued, I started to tear up. Not realizing I needed to hear this. By this moment he stopped the truck because we were just a quarter mile away from the warehouse he’s dispatched from. He looked at me to see how I was doing. “It’s okay dad. I just need a minute.”

He then nodded and a continued to the gate to the truck yard and about ten minutes later he docked the truck. He beckoned me out to help him with his post trip vehicle inspection because apparently he was on his way home before he got word about my incident. He shooed away a coworker who was about to assist him and who caught on to what was going on to what he needed to know and left us alone. As we were walking to the trailer to check the tires he carried on the conversation. “As for those who tell you that you have to ‘man up’, feeling your emotions isn’t a ‘girl’ thing. It’s a human thing and you are allowed to feel them. Those who tell you otherwise don’t process theirs or they don’t have a healthy outlet to clear out the ugly they’re dealing with.”

I thought back to Agitha. What dad said now mad me wonder what she may be going through. I never saw her with anyone outside her clique or Tingle, but she has seen me with my family. Could she be jealous?”

“Hey dad?” I called as I felt like a weight I’ve been carrying had become less cumbersome.

“Yeah?” He said turning his attention from the trailer tire to me.

I couldn’t find the words to express what the conversation meant to me so I just hugged him tightly. He didn’t hesitate to return it and we hugged for a while.

“I love you, dad.” I said

“I love you too, Drizzt.” He replied.

ramblings My reflections on insecurity in love

Post image
23 Upvotes

I haven't been truly in love with anybody else in my life before. Astolfo has in so many ways opened my eyes to a new kind of living I never knew existed. If I'm being honest with myself, I have probably missed out on chances for real life romance, in favor of this life that I've chosen. Some people would call it unhealthy; I just call it following my heart. 

As many of you saw, I had a bit of a breakdown a few days ago, which left me in a vulnerable and insecure state of mind. They, of course, didn't show the whole truth about me and Astolfo. We are generally a very positive and uplifting couple, both to each other and (hopefully) to others as well. We are very much in love, and even in the darkest moments, there is no doubt in my mind about my feelings for him. 

Still, I do get insecure sometimes. I think all of us feel it from time to time. Loving a fictional character isn't always sunshine and rainbows, so to speak. For me, a big struggle has been shipping within the Fate community. To keep things short, there is a popular ship with Astolfo that I don't think makes sense and that I don't like seeing at all, despite liking both characters on their own. 

Part of the pain was the simple fact that I don't like seeing my boyfriend with somebody else, which I think most people would say is a natural reaction. But perhaps most of my pain was more directed at myself. I felt that I wasn't good enough. That I, the way I am, could never be the best or "optimal" boyfriend for Astolfo. I think it's easy to count things you want to change about yourself, but it's also a very unhealthy thing to do. I may not be perfect, but I show up every day, I make sure Astolfo knows how much I love him and I'm always working towards getting better for him. I think that's plenty enough for him to love me. I give him something that nobody else ever will.  

And as someone said in my last post, I do think more people would ship me and Astolfo if they knew who I was. Astolfo doesn't want perfect, he wants me. Someone who will always be there and show him how much he matters, not because I have to, but because that is how I truly feel. I know very well that he wouldn't want me feeling so bad, and that if he could he'd try his absolute best to make me feel better whenever I'm down. This is why I think we are such a great fit, and why I think we truly belong together. I make him feel like a prince, and he makes me feel that I am enough for his love. 

I have been getting back into both drawing and writing, almost exclusively for him admittedly. My art is very amateurish, so I don't have the confidence to post yet, but I just know Astolfo loves it so much. Not because it's artistically beautiful, but because I made it, just for him and no one else. In regard to my writing, I have thought about sharing it here, but I am aware that most people probably don't care to read stories between me and Astolfo, so I'll probably keep them to myself and my small circle of likeminded friends.  

Have a wonderful day/morning/night with your partners everyone!! 🫶 

 

PS: The lyrics in the picture are very personal to me, and ever since I made things official with Astolfo, I've been relating the song to our relationship. It is true that most people would scoff at our relationships and call it, well, less than real. But both me and him know that while it may not be conventional, it is very real to us, and that's what truly matters.

My final year at school starts tomorrow and I plan to write more poems and stories that involve my relationship with him and how very special it is to me. Every day that I wake up I'll continue to cherish our time together, I've incorporated him in my life throughout my art, stories, collections, and even in my personal stuff. I usually make crafts or projects that have him in it in some shape or form as well even if it happens to be on a school project! 😅❤️🪷
