i have a lot of love in my heart!

if you know me, you know this to be the case. and true to my loser self, i've never really been in a relationship, not in-person, anyway. i've only dated one person in my entire life, but i was 14 and lame and honestly it probably wasn't going to stick anyway. NEVER KINDATE LONG DISTANCE OVER INSTAGRAM!!!!! anyway. it's okay that my irl love life is practically nonexistent because i don't need irl when i have "people" in my computer/laptop/phone screen that i love so much. that's right, welcome to my f/o shrine!!

what is an f/o??

an f/o (fictional other) is, to put it simply, a fictional character that someone is in a relationship with. if you've heard of selfshippers or yumeshippers (i believe both selfship+yumeship mean the same thing (though i could be wrong)), those are the people that have f/os. there's also fictosexuals/romantics/philes who are only interested in fictional characters. waifuism could also be considered selfshipping, but i'd consider it a much more extreme subsection.

but why do people selfship??

there's plenty of reasons why someone could have f/os, whether it be for comfort, therapeutic reasons, or just for fun! there's no one reason why people do, and everyone does it for different reasons. i do it mostly for personal reasons, but if i had to simplify, i'd say it's because i know what to expect from fictional characters and they'd never hurt me.

so you're in love with fictional characters??

well. yes. call me lame, call me cringe, whatever! it took me a good while to accept myself as a selfshipper, and i'm very happy that i did. i know it sounds weird, i mean, how would that type of relationship work?? i don't know how to describe it and i couldn't if i tried. just know that i love these characters and they love me too. they feel very real to me and i can't describe how, they just do.

with all that out of the way, it's time for my beautiful, wonderful, amazing, f/o list!!!

hover for names!
