I’ve looked up on a kind of sexuality for only be attracted to fictional characters, and it appears that it’s called “fictosexuality”. Other terms are also known as  “fictoromance”, and “fictophilia”.

So this is a flag of Fictosexuality or other terms listed above. So feel proud for having a crush on who doesn’t exist in our boring world. Show off your interest ;)

How on earth does anyone survive Ray's route, I've been dissociating for four days and I'm now staying spoiler free for days 9 - 11 but I am agonising between each chatroom. A game has never put me in such a state. I guess it was because I fell for Ray and then got verbally abused and mocked for four days. Everytime I open the game I get this anxiety, will it be the time when things change? And this time, I've not been able to timeskip even in my own head, I'm strictly stuck to the story timeline, my brain won't let me imagine anything else. I have no control and I'm just waiting for each chatroom to open to tell me that I am still denied Ray/Saeran's love and I am still a prisoner. This is the most intense yumeship / fictoromance experience I ever had....I'm completely immersed in the game and stuck disassociating in there, literally waiting as MC in that room, to see what they're going to do with me. And usually I am just experiencing intense romantic scenes but this time I'm experiencing withdrawal.

Yumeship withdrawal. It's a thing. I'm in such a state.

Fictoromantic - aromantic (spectrum) but falls in love with fictional characters.

💟 FICTOSEXUAL and FICTOROMANTIC flags! 💟

I've had issues with the current ficto flags for a long, long time. So I took it upon myself to make new ones.

The first three stripes of each flag are taken from their respective spectrum flags (acespec and arospec), and the bottom three are shades of red and pink chosen to represent romance/sexual attraction since they're colors commonly associated with those feelings. The bigger stripe represents a bridge between attraction and lack of attraction, and it's white to encompass every possible way that connection is formed.

I also thought the 💟(heart decoration) would be a good symbol for us, since, while it's only a decoration, it is, still, a heart; a representation of how objects of our affection are fictional, but our feelings are still real and meaningful all the same. I used that specific one because I find it cuter, that's all!

And while these flags were primarily designed with aro/acespec people in mind, I don't really care if allo people use it. I made them this way as a reflection of myself but, again, I am not gatekeeping these flags if you don't fall under the aro and/or ace umbrellas. Be free.

If these are positively received, I'll make an aroace version as well!

*note about the DNI: Pro/comshippers are NOT to use this flag. I despise and abhor you. If you're desperate enough to use a flag made by someone like me, that's on you. Also, Devilman Crybaby fans are welcome to use this, just don't put it where i can see. Same goes for people who share Kaku.

RIBSHIPPER

WHAT IS A RIBSHIPPER?

"ribshipper" is an offshoot of "selfshipper," for somebody who selfships or is in a fictoromantic relationship with an OC (original character) of their own creation. A ribshipper is not somebody who creates an alternate version of a preexisting fictional character to selfship with, only those who create a wholly original character for the purpose of being their f/o

WHO CAN BE A RIBSHIPPER?

Any fictoromantic, fictosexual, selfshipper, waifuist, or other person who dates fictional characters!! It does help to be an artist yourself, but the essence of ribshipping is simply creating your own partner; this is where the name comes from, as in that one christian story where god makes Eve out of Adams rib. Partner, created for you!

HOW DOES BEING RIBSHIP FEEL?

Fucking awesome! I do not have the tolerance for an actual two-way relationship, and so having the literal perfect partner for me, that I can never upset or need to break up with when I dont want to interact for weeks, its ideal :)

Hello fictoromantics and selfshippers!

I am currently finishing the first three chapters of my webtoon about fictoromance, which will be release in November 2024.

I have an active survey where you can tell me about your experience with fictoromance and your fictional character! I'm especially interested in hearing how you include them in your daily life and what are your thoughts on the nature of your relationship.

I plan to write a long webtoon, so thank you for your patience, my aim is to look at different versions of fictoromance, for girls and women especially.

I hope to hear from you soon!

needed to draw them as my favorite couple from my favorite movie rahhhhh

might make this into an actual drawing later idk

[piggirlwaifu]

hi i just wanna say that proship selfshippers arent true fictoromantics/fictosexuals. im usually 100% against silly label gatekeeping, but how can you claim to be in love with a fictional character and then say that fictional characters dont matter and arent real. its hypocrisy, if theyre not real and dont matter then why are you 'dating' them? youre not!

its like pretending youre POSIC and then saying that if your companion object broke you'd just replace it. youre a walking oxymoron, and a regular moron. feel free to use the selfship label all you want but just know youre a hypocrite 🫶 proship DNI!

However far away, I will always love you. However long I stay, I will always love you.

Day 10 - 2pm - please...I miss your voice...where do we stand now?

Hi haha if you see any and all posts mentioning kaku can't be reblogged. Don't worry about it.

Alhazad comforting Talathia and murmuring sweet nothings as she sleeps. I mean, the phrase coming from nearly anyone else would be absolutely horrifying. Yet, coming from him, the sentiment is endearing and sweet and almost romantic, seeing his whole.. world view. lol. The man is def his mother's son (if you know you know).

Granted he'd (hopefully) leave the trees and animals alone.

"Knowing that he doesn’t exist is agonizing. It literally makes my heart ache. I hate feeling this way and I hate the fact that I can’t talk to anyone about it because I’m so embarrassed. But I don’t want to let go of him either."

^^^ I've dealt with this since forever. When I was younger I thought it would be great to grow up and fall in love, only to grow up and realize that I cannot love real people any percentage near my love of fictional characters. I'm married and I love my spouse, so it makes me sad that she has blank face told me "I know you would leave me for one of your fictional husbands in a second if you had the chance." It hurts me because I know it's true, and I can't fathom how bad it must feel to her.

But I literally can't stop. My feelings for fictional men boil over to the point of pain. When I think about them my heart swells with so much joy I feel like laughing and throwing up. Or butterflies in my stomach. And when the realization hits that they don't exist I feel so broken. Like my heart shatters and in those moments (scary as it is) I don't want to exist either if I can't have them.

I've admitted this to a therapist once and they asked if I wanted to work on it. I immediately panicked, resinded, and never brought it up again. The realization that someone could try to "fix" me and I would lose a very real piece of my heart stuck fear into my soul. That was the first time I knew it was a problem, but I couldn't bear to distance myself mentally from them.

Now I don't want to have se x with anyone in real life. It's super crazy. My spouse is miserable over it. I only want intimacy with fake men. It's insane. But it's my reality. I feel broken. Everyday I wake up in the real world is like I am missing a part of me and I have to ignore it.

Anyway, does anyone else on this black hole app have fictophilia? If so, have you solved it or found anything that helps you cope?
