I selfship with a relatively popular character. But when I scroll through the character tag, I sometimes get weirdly jealous. Not because of the ship art, as I am a sharer, but more jealous of the sheer quantity and quality of other fans' output in general. It takes me forever to make a decent artwork.

So I made a habit of scrolling through the anti character tag. Even some of the bashing was kind of funny, and there were some decent points made in meta. I think it also made me feel less like one of many unremarkable fans in the crowd who likes the character. But lately it's been making me sad, but I've become oddly addicted to the dopamine it gets me, so I keep going back...

...wow there's a lot to unpack there.

uh. take care of yourself anon?

[dani_phantasma]

OMGGG i feel you anon

I am so jealous of people who manage to maintain webcomics and put out a long term story My ADHD makes this such a struggle. but I'm trying to work on it

[(Anonymous)]

Not quite the same, but similar. I've become a little addicted to fandom confession tumblr blogs, particular one for my fandom. At first it was just interesting to read people's vents, but it started leaving me bitter, so I finally blocked it for my sake.

Maybe walk away from either tag for a while and focus in making stuff for yourself. Hard at first but the better thing long term.

Nothing to do with the topic on hand, but the design of this secret is *chef's kiss* awesome.

that's... a secret

…self ship? With a character, no less?

Even after 25+ years in online fandoms, you all still find ways to make me think “wtf??”. I say this with love, OP - please log off and take care.

[(Anonymous)]

go get ur dreams op

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I feel you on the feeling envious that everyone else in fandom seems to be doing a lot better, a lot faster, than I am, which leaves me feeling like they're all inside a clubhouse I can't get into because they're "real" and I'm not. Which in this particular scenario can lead to a compounded problem feeling of "I'm not doing enough for The Character".

[(Anonymous)]

OP here. Some people expressed concern, bringing up some well-known wank where people took self-shipping too far. I'm familiar with Snapewives, and my selfship fandom activity with this character is nowhere near that extreme.

I am well aware the character I self ship with isn't real; there's no channeling or seances with the character here.

The extent of my selfship is writing Y/N and self-insert fanfiction, drawing the character with me, and fantasizing about raunchy scenarios.

Y'know. Typical cringy fandom stuff. Only instead of shipping with an existing character, it's with a slightly modified version of myself that fits into canon.

I do have some self-esteem issues that has been present long before I self-shipped with this character, as well as issues with doomscrolling. Like feeling like I need to learn every possible counterargument to something I feel strongly about to feel secure. And this fandom doomscrolling was still better than political doomscrolling, lol.

I also recently accepted I'm queer, but live in a red state, so this feels like a safe way to explore that.

Mainly in posting this, I was hoping for some advice and experience on the constant comparison to others' work/doomscrolling.

I think the moral panic this stirred up over selfshipping specifically being the issue is unwarranted, coming mostly from a misinterpretion of the concept based on some extreme examples.

It makes me think of how Redditors will express disgust at all slash shippers just because of a handful who center their lives around it and harass those who ship other pairings as a form of social justice. While ignoring the ones who simply vibe and have fun imagining dynamics as a hobby.

Everyone assumes that because I love competitive baking shows, I must like Nailed It!

Truth is, I find it unwatchable. It's jarring, too loud, and obnoxious.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I tried it when it first came out... nah.

[iff_and_xor]

Yeah, it’s not for me either.

In addition to how loud and obnoxious I find it, I generally like competition shows because you get to see people flex their skills and Nailed It has none of that.

But I do have a better appreciation for Nicole Byer now that I’ve seen clips of her doing other things.

I love the Elizabeth Taylor music video because:

1. I get to look at one of the most beautiful faces to ever grace this earth
2. I don't feel like I have to scour the whole thing for a million TS Easter Eggs
3. It reminds me of the kind of fan vids people used to make, the ones where they actually went through tons of footage and at the very least matched the beat of the song to the editing (if not the lyrics as well). Plus they didn't rely on leaving dialogue in like it seems everyone does nowadays, which is just the antithesis of a music video if you ask me.

I have an OC that I've commissioned drawings of, and the best way to get results is to describe him like a twink Kylo Ren, sans moles.
