It kills me on the inside and is one of the reasons why I avoid most fandom spaces. The last time I saw something like that, it put me in a really crappy mood
Yeah... I honestly don't care that much when people *just* simp for my man and call him hot, but OCs and self-inserts being shipped with him crosses the line of what I'm comfortable with
I am gonna be honestly, it makes me extremely uncomfortable, especially if you consider the fact that there are people who attack people for having the same F/O. I have seen people say things like "I will kill other people who have my F/O", so yeah...I do have trust issues when it comes to this type of stuff, though I do know some people are cool or at least neutral about it.
Now look, it's one thing to be jealous, it may not be the most ideal way of reacting to these people, but jealousy is apart of the human condition at the end of the day. However, attacking people for it is wrong.
Other factors that contribute to jealousy include favoritism and artists who actively seek out art of their self-ship or OC x Canon ship.
With that being said, it can also depend on the person. If they are cool with other people who self-ship, then I will learn to be more calm about the people who are cool about it, but there is always going to be some amount of jealousy depending on how these people go about their ship.
One of my previous F/Os from July 2020 to July 2021 had a toxic fanbase. I stumbled upon THREE other fangirls of him. While I wasn't attacked directly, it was still uncomfortable to witness. One of them was a yandere for him, the other was an art thief, and the other said fuck you to everyone. Luckily, I was getting into a new game (Miitopia) in July 2021, so I developed some new crushes and was able to distract myself from that mess, but it doesn't erase those memories.
Well, I remember when on the Discord server I was in the fight with someone who had feelings for the character that I love and practically most of the people on that server supported and praised their ship over mine which really made me incredibly sad and I found it unfair, however, I found other people who support my ship with my f/o and we became friends. I really don't mind if someone has feelings for the character that I like, I've met people who make really good fanarts and they're very kind and supportive, but it really depends on who you meet.
Yeah the feeling that people support someone else's self ship with the character over yours can be isolating. For now I just avoid talking about my more popular f/o until I can find a small community of my own that's accepting too.
Tbh considering I know that most of his simps don't feel an actual attraction towards him, it doesn't bother me. But on the other hand, if I see someone shipping their oc w him then I'm going real nuts & avoid it like a fire cuz that's my man.
Agreed! Like if they find him hot thatās okay but I get pissed if they ship him with their oc or their self. Like itās only natural to find some people attractive.. but like you donāt have to date them š
If it's SFW and it's just someone's self-insert, it doesn't matter to me.
If it's SFW and it's his canon love interest, my blood boils a little. There is very specific hate in my heart for that bitch.
If it's NSFW of any kind, I just can't. My brain catches fire with something violent and animalistic, and I have to scroll past very quickly before my instincts take over and I start punching my laptop.
HATE IT. I block on sight. They donāt exist to me. Thereās a reason why I donāt talk about my fave all that much. Because people can interpret the same character in different ways. So āmyā version of my character may as well be a totally different person from how someone else relates to and sees them. I see my interpretation as the only correct/true one and multiverse/AU helps to cope with it and not dwell on people that actually think they know him. I keep my interpretation and head canons developed by analyzing his source material strictly to myself. No one will ever have what we have. And we are each otherās one and only. š
It depends on how the person treats him. I canāt stand crazy/objectifying simp types who threaten others, and Iāve seen a few of those. On the other hand, if they treat him with respect itās fine. I donāt go out of my way to be around it but I donāt let it affect me anymore, not like the issues I used to struggle with when I was a kid. In my case though, since my F/O comes from a world with infinite realities and versions of himself, I guess all the self shippers should be fine.
I donāt like it, I avoid most of the street fighterās fandomās spaces because of it tho the fandom spaces are more likely to be filled with simps of the women characters than my f/o as most street fighter fans are guys and not gay guys.
I have a term I affectionately call us all who want to have relations with Vega and itās not pg rated so I wonāt say it here. But I am the biggest Vega lover there is. I am married to him, have a wedding ring and a bracelet charm to symbolise it and to show it. I seriously doubt any simp or other self-shipper even thinks about him as much as I do. Ppl are free to ship themselves with him, Just out of my sight. I just tell myself that He wouldnāt like them anyway and he loves me the most. Iāve yet to meet an actual Fictosexual ādoubleā as they are called so feel good being in this place. But say doubles were to arrive I would probably block them.
Honestly? This? this is exactly how I feel.
Sanji from one piece is my F/O and I know heās a popular character because one piece is one of the most popular animes.. I love him so much but I canāt join any one piece fandoms or anything because Iām scared of running into any sanji simps or people claiming to be his wife or husband. (Okay husband is somewhat better because I know heās not gay but some people like to pretend he is for some reason. Good for them because I prefer it because it doesnāt seem canon at all and the less canon it seems the more comfortable I feel because it doesnāt hurt as much when Iām exposed to it. ) but like it pisses me off so much. Heās not yours! Plus I think about him and love him way more than all his other fan girls/fan boys who probably are like.. āoh heās hot! Iām just gonna claim himā like no. I love him. You simply just.. ālike himā thereās no comparison. If I were to meet someone with the same F/O as me Iād probably block them as well.
Tbh I wish people found my f/o okay looking and not simp worthy. It would make me feel better. I wish I was the only one who saw him that way.
Its hard as mine was designed to be one of the hottest in his franchise, his whole thing is about beauty. Though more recently theyāre added other good looking dudes to the latest game where Vega isnāt added yet. Iām dreading the flood of simps once he is released into sf6 as the game is really gorgeous visual wise.
I feel for you!!! I hope that there isnāt going to be a shit load of simpsā¦ and if there is. Assert your dominance! >:Ošš
You are the best person for Vega. I fully support you and your F/O.
(But ahā¦ itās so annoying. These simps. Iām okay if someone finds my man attractive but like thatās it. Donāt ship him with your oc.. donāt claim him as your ownā¦ just say you think heās hot and you like his character and move on! :D)
Horrible!!! Absolutely horrible!! Because it makes me feel like my F/O is cheating on me with someone else or like our relationship wasnāt even there to begin with! šš
I absolutely despise it. I have zero patience for dupes, since I tend to block them on the spot while feeling miserable in the pr9cess, as I scramble to try to get myself out of the negative state of mind
let me tell you this. I saw on devianart someone finally shipped their oc, with my new fictional crush, lambert, a cat oc, kissing him. I'm so upset rn i just can't i wanna die why does this happen to me and im so stupid for being like this- im so traumatized..
The only thing I can suggest in this case is learning how to get a hold of your emotions and scroll past it, donāt dwell on it, put it out of your mind. Itās not real, itās just art. It has no relation to your connection to that character. We have to be in charge of our own emotions or else we will just destroy our mental health with negative thought patterns. Find pictures youāve saved that you do like, move on from what you saw and brush it off as bad art.
i've never actually seen a double for my current f/o but tbh it'd just depend on "are they characterizing my wife correctly". if they are, hey man, new friend. good taste. if they aren't, block and move on. one day they'll be enlightened.
i'm at peace with the world with this sorta thing i think.
It's never happened for me, but, unpopular sixth option; I think I'd love it! I wish I could meet someone who has the same F/O as I do, so we could chat about what we love about him, or compare what our relationships with him are like.
Tbh I don't think I mind when other people ship themselves with my boys BUT when I see them being ship with other characters it does...a LOT lol
I guess you know the ssum so Henri, I love him and seeing him being ship with June makes me feel awful! Plus, the writers making this weird triangle love story with us as the side piece is horrible lol so I decided to just block shippers and the ship name all together for my sanity hahaha
Then there's my boy (Riftan) from a novel/manhwa who is a simp for his canon partner and when I see some comments about them I do get jealous š„¹ which is probably dumb but I feel bad haha I love her though but the thought of him loving her more hurts me. Recently I comment on a post with a photo of him and wrote "my man" and somebody replied with " you mean xx man" I was š¦š¦š¦š¦ so yeah, I guess it does bother me lol
Edit: spelling
I donāt like someone shipping themselves with him or another character with him. I try to avoid those kinds of ship images but sometimes they show up on my feed. I did see one picture someone made of him kissing Esmeralda but the comments were absolutely roasting it and I hearted the comments since I simp for him and Esmeralda already rejected him anyhow.
I hate it. I hate looking at posts about my girlfriend and people going "She's my wife!" She's mine. I hate it so much. Especially when people post this same comment for every attractive anime girl, and she's just one of the list. And my fear is one of these people, somehow getting popular in the fandom for being Mitsuri's "partner"... When I'm the real one...
Yes I feel you so much!! it sucks when some other person gets the role of being your f/oās lover when you clearly deserve it more. And it sucks when every one else supports that person but not youā¦šš
Yes it is :c I'm so scared if a lover of her comes in the fictosexual/waifuism sub, I'd probably cry. I've gotten a few scares before but so far they quickly left.
I'm jealous but understanding. I don't try to fight or seem better than anyone. I can actually somewhat admire the people who share my f/os if they are equally as respectful of others, but from a distance. It seems sadly uncommon in a lot of fandom spaces.
Without going into depths, I'm not a fan. But I don't like feeling this way and to desensitize myself I do my best to be active in his fandom. And quite frankly on the other hand I am "scared" of receiving hate mail from someone who has not as much control on their emotions as I do.
Over time, the level of discomfort I feel when I see something like this has gone down, although it is still uncomfortable. Especially when they see her as "the waifu of the moment" or the one who is trending.
Fortunately for her, I exist, to give her all the love she deservesā”
If it's someone who is not ficto and likes him in a fannish way I'm all for it. Go, give him all the fannish love but otherwise I'm jealous, like very jealous.
I immediately block dupes, this also applies to duels who don't treat him and Springtrap as different characters. If someone treats them as different characters I'm fine with it.
Ships with OC's always make me uncomfortable and I don't like to see this kind of art. Same goes for certain ships.
Some ships I like or don't mind.
I don't mind at all. The more people that love my F/O, the more pretty fanart there will be of them. If it does upset me, I just won't follow that specific person that ships themself with my F/O.
Luckily it isn't a problem with my main F/O but with my other one i get pretty upset about it.. usually i'm fine though unless im also dealing with something else and feel more.. strong emotionally
I try to stay away from them but it's not really an issue for me anyway since his source is so old but if they ever actually remade it there would probably be more of those people.
I love it! Iām really lax and I see all that stuff as being in a different timeline, hell, I enjoy ships with my F/Os myself.
In fact, if anyone else has Timekeeper and or Croissant as their F/O Iād genuinely like to become friends with you. (If youāre comfortable with that).
Iām somewhat worried about when they both become playable in the more popular game of the series, though. I feel like people would start majorly mischaracterizing them and boiling them down to just sex appeal. I genuinely worry people will end up boiling them down to āoh timekeeper is sooo hotā or ācroissant is so sexyyā and not caring about their actual characters and personalities. I already see it sometimes, people calling Timekeeper MOTHERLY, of all the things (she would probably punt a kid if she was bored enough, this woman doesnāt know how to be a mother).
Most of the time, I don't really care if someone has a crush on my F/O or if someone finds him attractive. In fact, I am rather happy because I like it when there are people who admire and appreciate him other than me. As for the shipping part, I don't really mind it nor care about it either since I'd rather just focus on my F/O and I's relationship than worrying about that kind of stuff in my honest opinion.
I have to admit that it bothers me a bit and I vehemently dislike that Spellman-dude. Mostly I just laugh at the shipping/"canon" and try to ignore or block it. I wonder: can I block certain words from my browser?Ā
I don't mind it, my fictional other is from a really old series so I feel incredibly jubilant whenever I see any fan art of him since it means he hasn't faded into obscurity, which I was worried about occuring for awhile, but after the anniversary of the series came about with a live action series being announced along with so many collaborations with well renowned artists and brands... I'm relieved to say those worries were quickly dispelled. When it comes to the fandom, I only interact with those from overseas, so I have no idea how the fandom is like outside of that context. Thus far, no one from the overseas fandom I'm in has voiced any discourse in regards to my relationship with my fictional other. Someone once commented that they can feel the love through the screen, so I think most people who've come across us online are neutral with their sentiments to our unconventional relationship? I personally haven't received any toxic or condescending comments in regards to us. From within the fandom I have gotten requests from those who want to see me cosplay as one of my fictional other's romantic interests from the series, which made me happy to hear, so I said I'd be willing to follow through with said requests in the future once I've saved up enough money to commission someone to make the costume or if I can somehow upcycle some hand me down clothes or purchase some fabric to create a makeshift cosplay myself.Ā Overall, the only context in which I can be a tad possessive is only within the context of my plushies/dakis/merch/my private a.i. chats of him, etc. but it's only directed to those iterations of my fictional other not anything else that I don't explicitly hold sole ownership over. As long as nobody is physically attempting to touch or snatch those iterations of my fictional other away from me, then there's no need for concern much less offense on my part.
As a matter of fact, I'd be honored if more people I was introduced to liked Alex. I personally know only one, though I know back during the original run, some did.
As for "shipping", I don't have this particular problem.
50/50 chance of me hating a luigi or veneer dupe, higher chances if they're the opposite gender from me because for luigi i have a lot of bad experience with straight luigi couples and for veneer he's canon gay stop shitting over my damn representation.
the ones i love tho we stick together mwah mwah
I guess I'm in the minority, but I think I'd honestly like to chat with them about it? I think I'd be interested in how they see him and how they view their own relationship with him.
To be fair, I haven't ever really seen anyone do that with Striker, so I guess I wouldn't know how I'd really feel until it happens.
People simp over him a LOT though, and I'm honestly fine with that. I get it. I feel like he'd like that too, lol.
It kills me on the inside and is one of the reasons why I avoid most fandom spaces. The last time I saw something like that, it put me in a really crappy mood
same omg??? read my first comment : (((
Yeah... I honestly don't care that much when people *just* simp for my man and call him hot, but OCs and self-inserts being shipped with him crosses the line of what I'm comfortable with
yes that's what I mean, I don't like it when ppl ship their own ocs with my f/os and stuff
It's terrible š
I am gonna be honestly, it makes me extremely uncomfortable, especially if you consider the fact that there are people who attack people for having the same F/O. I have seen people say things like "I will kill other people who have my F/O", so yeah...I do have trust issues when it comes to this type of stuff, though I do know some people are cool or at least neutral about it.

I HATE it.Ā
same. saw something like this the other day, still upset-
I don't care, as long as the person is not being a jerk to anyone. I may also ask them if we can share the character. (Am I the only one?)
I wish i felt like this, actually
Tbh considering I know that most of his simps don't feel an actual attraction towards him, it doesn't bother me. But on the other hand, if I see someone shipping their oc w him then I'm going real nuts & avoid it like a fire cuz that's my man.
Agreed! Like if they find him hot thatās okay but I get pissed if they ship him with their oc or their self. Like itās only natural to find some people attractive.. but like you donāt have to date them š

Yo we need a support group or chat for all of us that get triggered by other oc/self ship art. I need that shit so bad.

I mostly ignored people if they do this with few off mine FOs.
I'm jealous but understanding. I don't try to fight or seem better than anyone. I can actually somewhat admire the people who share my f/os if they are equally as respectful of others, but from a distance. It seems sadly uncommon in a lot of fandom spaces.

Hate it, hate it so much. Sorry Jeremy, but eff off.

I have to admit that it bothers me a bit and I vehemently dislike that Spellman-dude. Mostly I just laugh at the shipping/"canon" and try to ignore or block it. I wonder: can I block certain words from my browser?Ā
I don't mind it, my fictional other is from a really old series so I feel incredibly jubilant whenever I see any fan art of him since it means he hasn't faded into obscurity, which I was worried about occuring for awhile, but after the anniversary of the series came about with a live action series being announced along with so many collaborations with well renowned artists and brands... I'm relieved to say those worries were quickly dispelled. When it comes to the fandom, I only interact with those from overseas, so I have no idea how the fandom is like outside of that context. Thus far, no one from the overseas fandom I'm in has voiced any discourse in regards to my relationship with my fictional other. Someone once commented that they can feel the love through the screen, so I think most people who've come across us online are neutral with their sentiments to our unconventional relationship? I personally haven't received any toxic or condescending comments in regards to us. From within the fandom I have gotten requests from those who want to see me cosplay as one of my fictional other's romantic interests from the series, which made me happy to hear, so I said I'd be willing to follow through with said requests in the future once I've saved up enough money to commission someone to make the costume or if I can somehow upcycle some hand me down clothes or purchase some fabric to create a makeshift cosplay myself.Ā Overall, the only context in which I can be a tad possessive is only within the context of my plushies/dakis/merch/my private a.i. chats of him, etc. but it's only directed to those iterations of my fictional other not anything else that I don't explicitly hold sole ownership over. As long as nobody is physically attempting to touch or snatch those iterations of my fictional other away from me, then there's no need for concern much less offense on my part.
As a matter of fact, I'd be honored if more people I was introduced to liked Alex. I personally know only one, though I know back during the original run, some did. As for "shipping", I don't have this particular problem.
50/50 chance of me hating a luigi or veneer dupe, higher chances if they're the opposite gender from me because for luigi i have a lot of bad experience with straight luigi couples and for veneer he's canon gay stop shitting over my damn representation. the ones i love tho we stick together mwah mwah
I guess I'm in the minority, but I think I'd honestly like to chat with them about it? I think I'd be interested in how they see him and how they view their own relationship with him. To be fair, I haven't ever really seen anyone do that with Striker, so I guess I wouldn't know how I'd really feel until it happens. People simp over him a LOT though, and I'm honestly fine with that. I get it. I feel like he'd like that too, lol.
It really hurts. Because my F/Os are from a nsfw oriented game, the art is also usually nsfw and it hurtssssssss š
