I feel like im the only yumedanshi in yumetwt 😭 are there no boy yumes anymore...
I believe there are 🩷
help what do u do when u think u yume a character but alr know oomfs who are non sharing of that chara i feel so bad
Personally it has never happened to me, but if that's the case I would try to talk about it with them or either see if this "I wanna yume them" is something temporary or not 🩷
Most times, I feel bad being a non-sharer with multiple oshis... Like, everytime I yume in a fandom, I always end up having 2+ partners everytime and I feel really guilty about it. Of course, I encourage others to yume the same oshis as me if they'd like and only ask to not interact with me as much. Still... I feel really bad and sometimes wish I was a sharer instead. :(
You don't have to feel bad, to yume is a personal experience and everyone has their causes to be sharing, non-sharing or selective, so please don't worry 🩷
When u yume, do y'all insert yourselves the way u are (for art etc), use sonas with traits you'd like, use sonas that share traits with u and have some differences, use ocs...? i'm having trouble deciding on this myself so i'd like to see others' opinions :thinking:
For my main two yume(s) I've been using OCs that share some characteristics with me personality-wise, but as of lately I've been using a silly sona that needed to be in the Pokémon universe just to cause trouble xD (and now she has randomically became an idol for a specific, messy AU). As for others CCs, I usually do with OCs that are either very similar to me or the polar opposite... It depends on the mood 🩷
Is it still yume if i only like them for a short time? I have adhd so i hyperfix on a fandom but drop it after a few weeks, every fandom I've joined I have an f/o in and I do miss them but I'm not fully "deep" into them
It is, coming from a person that has changed a lot of f/o(s) in two years 🩷
hiii i’m new to yumeshipping and this might be a bit of a dumb question but what does “sharing” mean? (in the context of yumeshipping)?
It means if you're okay to share your f/o, to see other people also shipping with themselves, talk about them in your same light and seeing them drawn with their yumeship, if I've explained myself well!
yumetivity admin do you love summer girls bc your layout was summer saki & now its summer lisa
I relate pretty much to them (Lisa and Saki) plus the fact that they have summer cards is good because I can decorate my layout for the season 🩷 it's just a little thing I like to do, to make everything I do aesthetically pleasing when it's possible.
how do you guys cope with knowing they will never be real which means so much stuff I dont think I can say without making other yumeshippers feel sad... /genq I love them so so so much but I am miserable every day
I believe that the feelings you hold for them are enough, personally 🩷 If you have the money and possibility, though, a lot of people get plushies of their f/o(s) to cope with this missing. Also writing and reading cc × reader is a good alternative and lots of people do also chats with c.ai to compensate more. I personally dislike generative AI, but c.ai is not that bad in comparison to the other, bad things I've seen with AI, I don't know if this makes sense somehow.
hello yumetivity mod !! thank you for everything you do, I hope you have a wonderful day 💛
Thank you, sorry for the late response 🩷 This message serves to me a lot, I've been dealing with things these days > < ;
tihnking about picky eater self insert x chef f/o
They'd treat s/I like they deserve, without pressure, since they know them well 🩷
what is yume ? :0
If you want a short answer, it would be "to selfship yourself with a fictional character, usually your favourite". However, to yume isn't limited to romantic aspects, it can also be a platonic, queeplatonic, some even familial connections and it can be via OC or a self insert. I think it's such a personal experience that, in my opinion, a good definition would be "to create a meaningful connection with a character, directly or indirectly".
I love unrequited yumes...
Anon, why do I feel like that people like you might enjoy some... somehow angsty dynamics? 👀🩷 /lhj /s
Sorry! I had a question about the ethics of yumeshipping.. I’m a minor who yumes an adult character who is a lot lot older than me (around.. twice my age.) I was wondering if this was a concern since if the roles were swapped, it would definitely be an issue!!
My solution in these cases is always to make an OC/self-insert that is around their age 🩷
does anyone else selfship except its one sided.. like i don’t think he’d like me back but i am head over heels & i’m okay with that and i think he’d think my crush is cute :3c
Probably yes, let's see with a tweet 👀🩷
hihi!!! im extremely new to the yumeship/selfship community!! and something that has kindaaa been on my mind recently is the thought my selfship might be misinterpreted as proship :( for context, i selfship with a character who is around 25/30 years old. and my self insert is 25. but i am a minor. and people have been asking why im shipping myself with this character if im a minor and AUGHHH ITS SO STRESSFUL??? not a question but id like ur opinions on the topic ^u^
I think that, as long as your s/i is around your f/o age's is more than ok, in my personal opinion 🩷 as for the causes, we don't purposely "choose" who to yume, but we can choose how to yume them, if that makes sense!!
