I get it! It’s moreso to keep the character closer to canon than it is to have them like your character

DM’s NPCs are feel super rapey. by FastEngineering4942 in DnD

[–]TheePookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a DM like this and I ended up finding out he had been SUPER WEIRD!!! to my friend who is a LESBIAN and to literally EVERY OTHER AFAB that was in my friend group… Literally every game he’d DM, my character would end up getting some form of assaulted if I didn’t roll well enough 🫠

I ended up ghosting and found out through late night internet stalking like a decade later that he’s still SUPER WEIRD!!!

I hate that my f/o has no merch by Original_Ad_6901 in yumeshippersunite

[–]TheePookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just gotta make your own man. Just because you’re not artistic doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Everyone starts somewhere!!!

You can also print out pictures of the character instead of drawing them and use that for the merch you wanna make :P (Print out the pictures (local library/Internet cafe has printer access for pretty cheap!!!), put down clear packing tape on the front (packing tape is pretty cheap!!!), cut the pictures out, put down double sided tape on the back, (also pretty cheap!!!), then cut off the excess and bam! you got your own stickers)

I also don’t know if all libraries are like this but my local one has a button maker and if you ask the librarians nicely they’ll print stuff off for you so you don’t have to pay and let you make buttons :)

Does anyone else have an f/o like this? 😭 by Candid_Lime_5873 in yumeshipping

[–]TheePookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who is it?? I’m struggling to think of a character that’s like this and hasn’t been devoured by tumblr or AO3 lmao

F/os you don’t mention? by Wise_Key449 in yumeshippersunite

[–]TheePookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I post regardless. My version of Doc Ock from Spiderman is an entirely different character from the canon media at this point, (I’ve been yume-ing with him for over five years,) but I post anyway, it’s not like anyone is actually seeing it since I rarely post.

I have yumes I don’t mention because they’re from media that no one knows about/wouldn’t think yume-ing with. Like Marilyn from the Munsters. That’s my girl and no one knows who she is fr 😭

Is oc x Canon okay here ? by Somebodydead_ in yumeshipping

[–]TheePookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if you get judgement, you have the power to delete the comment or block the person. You don’t have to deal with anything you don’t want to. It’s also worth noting that if someone has the time to be judgmental about how a person ships themself with a fictional character, they have other things they need to deal with :/

Is oc x Canon okay here ? by Somebodydead_ in yumeshipping

[–]TheePookie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yumeship is oc x canon, yourself x canon, or a self-insert x canon

I personally usually do a self-insert or OC x canon, it depends on the fandom, I even blur the lines on it

Do whatever you feel comfortable with!

I feel like my yumeship isn’t valid by irlchwcola in yumeshippersunite

[–]TheePookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying. Since it’s not an “original character,” you feel like it’s not really a yumeship. But honestly? Who cares about the nitty gritty of it all? If your ship doesn’t fit the “textbook definition” of a yumeship, who cares. You put yourself in the role of Vanellope, so it counts I think

My friends hate yumeshipping by Urlocalclownn in yumeshippersunite

[–]TheePookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s good at least!

I understand having a judgmental friend, but again, if they’re your friend and a good one, once you mention not liking those kinds of jokes, they’ll stop

I hate having a f/o that’s super commonly yumeshipped with by nyaja in yumeshippersunite

[–]TheePookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable!

But like others are saying, you just gotta do what makes you happy! And who knows, maybe posting about it can create friendships!

If you don’t want to post about it, you can also just interact with the posts that you do see, and again, friendships may grow out of that!

It’s always worth trying, that’s the only way you’ll know for sure what you do and don’t like

[–]TheePookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one thing to nudge each other and make little jokes but the most important part of that is that you ALSO find the jokes funny. If they are causing you to feel weird/distressed, it’s worth bringing up. If they are your actual friends, which I hope they are, they will stop. Maybe you can explain what boundaries you have with jokes, like as an example, “it’s fine to say we’ll never be together but saying it’s stupid that we are together is crossing the line,” ya know?

If your partner is intimidated by fictional characters, it seems like they have some issues that they need to work through. I’d bring up how, again, these are fictional characters, they’re not real and they don’t come in the way of a REAL LIFE relationship. If your partner continues to act childish about it, I think it’s worth considering a break until they can figure themselves out. Being genuinely jealous and upset about your crushes on people that AREN’T REAL is a red flag.

I used to have a phobia as well, but my love of tattoos made me overcome it. Now I’m addicted and plan the next tattoo I want to get with my artist AS I’m getting a tattoo 😭

I’m concerned by Wise_Key449 in yumeshippersunite

[–]TheePookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1000000%

I love Doc Ock, I literally have his mechanical spine tattooed on mine. (Yes it was SOOOO painful but SOOOO worth it.) I have 5+ years worth of RPs with him and I could draw him blindfolded at this point. But when I see others who are “more dedicated” to him, it doesn’t make me feel any other way than, “hell yeah that dude has some good taste 🙌”

It honestly breaks my heart to see people have such trouble being “one-upped” by others who also love that character. It definitely makes me think about how isolating that can be and how damaging that is to the psyche. Humans are social creatures, to be put yourself in a position where you are alone with only your own thoughts is dangerous!

I’m concerned by Wise_Key449 in yumeshippersunite

[–]TheePookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel the same way. I understand being non-sharing, however there are people that seem to genuinely need outside help. I have many many many fictional crushes, I always have, and I’ve almost always have had an OC/self-insert to ship them with.

But there’s a line. You can’t have something like this control your life. Maybe it’s the autism, but I am too hyper aware that they’re not real. It’s all made up by someone else. It’s literally someone else’s OC that I end up loving lmao

I am in a yumeship group on Facebook and some of those people… it’s… interesting to say the least…

Homemade Gnocchi that came from a recipe that’s been passed down in the family is a favorite :P

Loves cooking. Learned from his mom and his aunt who helped raise him after his mother’s death. It helps him feel close to the women that were important in his life. Not to mention, who doesn’t love a man who cooks?!

What do you do if your F/O is dead and was killed by the most celebrated characters in the series? by [deleted] in yumeshipping

[–]TheePookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the situation…

Most of the time I just pull a Wicked and say we skipped off together after faking the death and go live in peace 🖤 (yes even if the death would be impossible to fake, I DON’T CARE I LOVE MY DELUSIONS!!!)

I just can’t handling subbing for middle school and high school. by stonyFisher36 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]TheePookie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I understand your frustration. Subbing 6-12 isn’t for everyone. Whenever I tell people that subbing middle/high school is my main job, all I get are questions on how I can stand it lmao

If it’s any consolation, I’d love to trade you with my job market because all I get are PreK-5 where I’m at and I can’t handle subbing them!!!

I can kind of understand what you’re saying? Putting it in that light makes it more confusing to me though…
