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...

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

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.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-16 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
that's... a secret

Right... like this is just further solidifying my conviction that selfshippers are mentally unwell...

…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.

Self-ship is not a new concept. It just went under different names in the past.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-16 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. But there’s fantasizing about fucking a fictional character and then there’s the indication of potentially concerning mental health issues as seen in this secret. Also not anything new in fandom but I still hope OP gets some help.

It's weird to me that the self-shipping is the part that you're judgey about as if it were unheard of. Doesn't scream 25+ years in fandom to me (': I mean...snapewives??

Not to be judgy MUCH but snapewives were always considered batshit in fandom circles
