How it feels having the most hated character as an F/O

writer: this is one of my male characters! he cares about his guy friends and loves them deeply.

tumblr: oh! so he’s gay!

writer: uh…no, he’s attracted to women.

tumblr: ….so he’s bi!

writer: uhh…no…….he loves his guy friends but he’s not romantically/sexually attracted to them.

tumblr: ….so you’re homophobic.

writer:

Attention all Fictosexuals/Romantics

You are loved.

You are valid.

👏 fictosexuality 👏 is 👏 valid 👏 + 👏 nothing 👏 to 👏 be 👏 ashamed 👏 about 👏 real 👏 people 👏 gross 👏 anyways 👏

:/ and being reduced to fangirls/fanboys...

I like how most posts about being in love with a fictional character are made as a joke, and then there’s us in the corner like “lol… no, but actually though.”

This message needs to be shared.

I wish more understood this. For me , I have been this way since I was a small child. For years after I became a teen I hid it from others cause of being made fun of.

I knew I was different when all my peers grew out of it and I remained. And that my feelings actually made my heart hurt.

Now here I am a grown woman, able to be open about it without shame or regret. I’m grateful for that and to know so many who share it with me.

good point…

Busted myths about fictophilia / schediaphilia

Hi! I’d like to get the word out since I’ve seen lots of wrong assumptions circulating about this. Fictophilia is a romantic and/or sexual orientation which covers exclusive attraction to fictional characters in animation and movies (no, not the actors). It’s not a fetish, disorder, or solely a type of attraction, but an orientation one is born with, just as valid as any other*. It has nothing to do with lusting after those characters sexually as a fan. *There are people who are attracted to other people and fictional characters in that way. In that case, their orientation is whatever they identify with. I’d like to help you understand who we are and what we’re not by responding to the most common statements aimed at us. This has gotten pretty long so I put all the answers under a cut.

Hey, 25 y/o self shipper giving a big shout out to all the other adult self shippers out there! You aren't alone! I was wondering if it's normal to feel insecure about what the creator of a series would think if they knew I was self shipping with their character. Well... Actually it's more of an AU version of their character... But still... I worry. Any thoughts?

Hey Nonnie!!

Special shoutout for adult self shippers out there! You’re not alone and you’re apart of the community just like everyone else 💜

I think if the creators of a series would support self shippers. There have been a few cases to where creators and even VA’s support it.

There was one time when Mod Panda 🐼 voted on an Assassin’s Creed poll on Twitter and Paul Amos; the VA of Jacob Frye from Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate; said that she could support Jacob “in more ways than one”. He basically made her self ship with Jacob canon in her book.

Another time there was someone I followed who self ships with Roadhog from Overwatch gave fanart to Josh Petersdorf; the VA of Roadhog; and made their self ship with Roadhog canon to them. 

And I don’t know if you saw this case (it’s been going around the self ship community for positivity) but the creator of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki, created a self insert within his own series and a girl went up to him at a con and showed fanart of her self ship with Jotaro and fully supported her.

Whatever the case may be, the creators love it when their characters they created and/or the VA’s to where they gave the character voice and personality love because it’s like an amazing way to show their love and support towards them. If they know of self shipping or not or even if you’re afraid to share with them (which is normal), I believe the would give support none the less.

can you guys reblog this and tag what job you have in your fantasy life? I’m a singer + actress in mine lol

Shoutout to the self shippers with underrated, underappreciated, or down right HATED f/os. May the spite of the fandom never hinder your love. ❤❤❤

You Are Allowed to Be Happy

Yo so I’m not a shining beacon of happy other-life memories and present-day alterhuman experiences. But I’ve noticed a problem lately where I’ve seen more and more people ask if they’re “valid” because they only have happy memories from their other lives, don’t experience species dysphoria, and are generally fine with being who they are. I’ve even seen some people discount and ignore their happy memories as not being important and go searching for unpleasant and bad ones.  So let me Validate™ you all right now. You are allowed to be happy. You’re allowed to have nothing but fond memories of other lives. You’re allowed to be happy with your body and physical form as it is now. You’re allowed to enjoy your identity and the experiences that come with it.  Please love yourselves and allow yourselves to be happy. Don’t make yourself miserable for the sake of feeling more important or real or whatever it is people seem to be getting out of all this. And furthermore, please love yourselves and realize that you don’t need the external validation of others. You need to find that within yourselves. I know that we live in a time – and this especially is a website – where a lot of young people are unsure of themselves, have so many potential labels to choose from, are just trying to fit in somewhere, and want to know if they count and belong. I know that it can be hard. But you need to learn that the only way you will ever feel satisfied in the validity of your experiences is when you acknowledge and accept them yourself for what they are.  Don’t change yourself or be made to feel like you aren’t really who you are just because there’s one common narrative that you don’t fit into. And if you truly feel like you belong somewhere and can’t find others like you – make a space. Make room for yourself and the people like you will eventually find you.  But above all, please. Please. Let yourself be happy if you are happy. Hold on to every shred of happiness you can, because that’s worth more than all the “tru kin suffering” in the world.

Character Mannerisms

Here’s some considerations for the tiny little details that can add a lot to a character. Figuring out these mannerisms can do a lot for conveying character traits through their normal actions rather than just their thoughts, dialogue, etc.

How’s their posture? There are more options than just sitting up straight or slouching a lot. What’s their most comfortable sitting position? Do they have a consistent posture or does it change depending on situation / present company? 

How’s their etiquette? Do they hold the door for people behind them? How do they handle handshakes and other kinds of typical contact? Does their language change or become more formal when speaking to strangers? To their elders? To their superiors? 

In a crowded space, do they get out of people’s way, or do people get out of THEIR way? 

How do they point something out? Pointing their finger? Nodding their head? A flippant wave of the hand?

What are their comfort gestures or self-touch gestures? Common comfort gestures include rubbing the back of the neck or gripping their own arms. Can they suppress these gestures or do they do them often?

Also consider the character’s common reactions to common emotions. Do they whoop when they’re excited? Do they tremble when angry? 

What parts of the body are the most expressive? Do they shuffle and stomp their feet a lot when agitated or excited? Are they a hand talker? Do they have an impressive range of motion with their eyebrows?

How do they sound? Do their car keys jingle as they walk? Do they drag their feet? Do their heels clack resoundingly on hard floors? Do they breathe loudly? Do they fidget in ways that make a lot of noise?

How do they handle eye contact?

Any behaviors they reserve for moments when they’re alone? (Or possibly among family/friends that don’t care?) Do they pick their nose? Do they bite their toenails? Do they sniff their armpits? Or do they not care if people see behavior like this?

Apart from comfort gestures, what else do they do to comfort themselves in trying times? What’s their go-to self care? What’s their comfort food? Where’s their safe space?

What are they doing with themselves as they’re suppressing emotion? Lip biting, fist clenching, and avoiding eye contact are common methods of coping with strong emotions.

I love this quote so much. I’m not sure who said this, so I’m not sure who to give credit too. While I wish, and have wished this, it make so much sense. I don’t want them here in this world I would rather be in theirs with them.

Okay hear me out on this one

Cosplay your f/o

No seriously, cosplay them

Because then you’ll have their clothes to wear when you feel like you need them, maybe your f/o wears a necklace? You can wear it everyday! Do you imagine your f/o wearing a certain perfume or aftershave? Spray a tiny bit of it on the part of the costume you’re wearing (just be careful not to use too much)!

Seriously, choosing to cosplay my f/o was probably the best thing I did because it’s so comforting, trust me and try it out if you can!
