Do You Ever Look At Someone And Just Fucking Melt

Smooth Criminal - 88

I aspire to be a woman who loves to wakes up early in the morning and loves what she does for a living everyday. Travels often, spiritually secured, and financially stable.

sorry if this has been answered in the past, I looked around for a bit but wasn't able to find an answer. Idk exactly how to word this...how does one exactly spend time with a fictional character/have a relationship? I hope that doesn't sound rude, I'm questioning fictoromantic and wondering how I would actually have a relationship with a character.

hey! moon here. it’s fine, we haven’t been asked before, and repeat questions aren’t the end of the world anyway. don’t worry about your tone, either! there’s no rudeness in just wanting to understand.

as for the actual content of your question, it’s a bit different for everyone. i consider myself committed to my f/o in the same way one would be committed to a real person. in my own relationship, there are a few things i do that address your curiosity and that qualify it in my mind as a relationship in the truly binding sense, aside from just a general feeling of affection and devotion. it’s a bit long and your mileage will almost certainly vary with this, since this sort of thing varies from relationship to relationship and i can only really describe my own feelings and practices. it’s all discussed under the cut.

Humans, for the most part, don’t have a clue. They don’t want one or need one, either. They’re happy. They think they have a good bead on things. Men In Black (1997) | dir. Barry Sonnenfeld

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.”

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.
