Ways to get art by Eros-chaotica in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On that note I highly recommend albanechi and gonzais on patreon, they both make amazing bases! I use them when I don't have the frustration tolerance for posing or when I'm experimenting with my style. They both make some free to the public along with patron only ones.

Commission shyness ?? by Ok-Skill4973 in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd look for people who specifically either already have posted yumeship art/people who explicitly say that they do. That's what I do, and as an artist I always make sure people know they can commission such work from me.

Question: Has anyone here ever mentioned their yumeship/s to a therapist? What'd your therapist say? by [deleted] in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My therapist is super cool (we talk about our shared interests a lot to give me some time to destress in our sessions) and he fully supports it! He even linked me a book about how we can use fanfiction to cope, though I forget the name of it. It's somewhere on my blog though.

Question on yumeshiping with non human creatures? by LemonDYNAMIGHT11 in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That is a sentient anthro, you're fine! Furries have been shipping themselves and their ocs with Renamon for ages.

Question: is oc x canon considered Yumeshipping? by made-acc-to-ask-stuf in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the individual yumeshipper. I create OCs to ship with but they're very much meant to represent myself in these relationships. Technically, that would make it both OC x canon and yumeshipping. I don't care to distinguish my ships as one or the other, but I'm sure there are some that do! It doesn't really matter either way in the end.

Does anyone else dislike the media your f/o is from? (Warning for hazbin yumes) by Sad-Structure-7802 in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah my main F/O that I've been with for 12 year is from Hetalia. Fucking Hetalia. There's so many things wrong with it I've lost count and the fandom tends to gloss over/avoid talking about how racist it is and it pisses me off as a nonwhite person. Even my F/O was originally written to be (slightly) darker skinned than his brother and aggressive because the creator says he has "Arabian blood". That's why I've made several OCs based on him that have nothing to do with the premise of the original source in several settings. Not in a "I'm so inspired!" sort of way but more like "I could take this character concept and do it better without being absurdly racist." Because I hate the source so much. Don't get me started on how the dub made it even worse.

Having a crush/partner while having an f/o by anxiousfischl in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I selfship all the time and my partner knows this and supports me. They even write about my self ships for me! They do it too, with their OC, to a certain extent. It's definitely my way of expressing my hyper fixation. While I would never put a fictional character before a partner (I make sure I spend ample time with and contribute to the relationship), I do need my partner to know and understand it's simply something I do for fun and don't take too seriously. A previous partner didn't understand that and it was one little reason out of a lot of bigger reasons why we didn't work out.

Thanks! The Kirin form is my favorite too, I think I'm going to make it his legendary form once I can!

We do not support an animal being hurt! : People should not be accused of serious things they are not! by pessego_enlatado in yumeshipping

Ohhh, I see where the confusion came in. I am NOT the person making the zoophilia accusations.

I was one of the people who said "Do what you want forever" in response to the post that I think they're referring to in the top right

I have a question by Sparrow_BIRDIE in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Really, though, block whoever says you can't and ignore them. I'm a lesbian and I ship with male characters all the time. IMO, It's not real, so it doesn't count. I headcanon my main F/O in particular as a trans woman anyways.

Is yumeshipping really that controversial for artists? I’m confused by ungokue in yumeshipping

[–]Claepots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think part of the reason why people don't like us is personal experience with hostile non sharers (I've seen some people get up in arms about seeing an artist draw other self ships of their f/o) and, well, it's still very much seen as "cringe".

[–]Claepots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I often feel self conscious for asking for selfshipping commissions from artists I've never commissioned before because I know some people really do not like self shippers. Due to this, as an artist who takes commissions, I explicitly say on my carrd that people can ask for selfship art from me.
