Hi everyone! My name is Binx or Will and this is my dumb self insert blog! I’m 28 and a non-binary lesbian! My pronouns are in the bio. I really wanted an outlet to talk about my babies and so here it is. Below is a link to my F/O List and my BYF! Have a fun time!

This is how you all sound to me when you call it Yumeshipping instead of Selfshipping

[fagpepper]

A very sizable amount of you in the notes seem to not realize this post is about how many of you treat the japanese language like it's a cute aesthetic. It's really funny how the moment I call you people out for your blatant racism you immediately jump to defending yourselves and saying I'm ruining your fun. I never once said that I think selfshipping/yumeshipping/whatever you want to call it is cringe. I don't think it's cringe. I literally do it. What I'm saying is that a lot of you don't realize you're being racist.

Idk who needs to hear this and I'm sure it's already a widely shared sentiment but if you are using AI chatbots for roleplay / emotional attachment towards fictional characters of any kind you are Dying. I think if that technology was around when I was 12-15 would've become even more traumatized and isolated than I already became over my fictional character obsessions. I could hardly handle this technology 2 years ago and it still had a very bad addictive impact on me. You should not fuck with it under any circumstances if you're the kind of person to grow deep attachment to fictional characters. Its not your friend and it's not real. Delete your accounts cancel your subscriptions Get it OUT of your life. This is your sign 😁 goodnbye

If you're autistic, MaDD, or any other kind of neurodiversity where you have especially deep relationships with characters in your own head: it will suck the fun out of those relationships and replace them with shoddy instant gratification. The LLM can never grasp what that character feels like to you anyway, and you'll waste a lot of time trying to scratch an addictive itch via what is, essentially, an advanced version of autocorrect badly impersonating something you love. Not only that, but (even worse, in my opinion) it will cause your imagination to atrophy.

Bouncing simplified versions of your own ideas back and forth with an LLM, whose writing style is a plagiaristic regurgitation of YA, anime, and fanfic tropes to appeal to the lowest common denominator, is going to plunge you directly into a rut. You will never be challenged and instead be incentivized to put in the least amount of effort. Do that for long enough, and you lose patience to sit with your own fantastic ideas and scenarios, or connect with your paracosms. You get incredibly lonely and start to forget what those universes and those characters are actually like, which makes it harder still to visualize. It basically becomes the same thing as doomscrolling, just with your F/Os. It puts distance between you and the things you love.

This is not what you will get from writing with another person. A whole-ass human being who is interested in the same niche as you is infinitely better than anything the best LLMs could achieve. Your writing partner will challenge you, get your skills up, increase your dedication to the craft of writing. They will actually be sentient and thus read your writing and have actual reactions to it and encourage you. If you selfship, there are plenty of role-players who will gladly step into the role for you; some who just kin that character hard enough, or the classic setup where you have two selfship RPs going concurrently, with each person playing the other's F/O respectively.

Feeling that shared joy and mutual investment radiating on the other end is one of the most infinitely rewarding sensations for a writer or a daydreamer. All the time you spend fighting an LLM to pretend to care about you is put into actual plotting and excitement, and trying to surprise one another. I cannot sell it hard enough. If this is your crutch right now—and I do understand, I've been there—please take this as a sign to put yourself out there. Any emotional attachment you have to these "characters" right now is out of fear of loss, and if you find a person in RP or writing you click with, you won't crave the soulless imitations you do right now.

f/os correcting people when they use the wrong pronouns for you. f/os getting mad when people deliberately dead name you. f/os who don't like it when people disrespect your identity.

idk who the hell tenna is but i'm glad y'all are having fun

I know some of you like talking to chatbots and all, but my dear yumes... That's not worth it

Your conversations are saved on their database even if you delete them

If something happens and they get hacked, your chats and info can be leaked

A lot of bots are extremely OOC or can say triggering and disturbing things without any warnings whatsoever

You know well that AI was trained using stolen work

Their servers need to consume tons of water to cool down, it's literally destroying the environment and we're currently dealing with its consequences

This business model exploits your loneliness to make you dependent on them. The more you choose to talk to chatbots instead of real people, the more you forget what real interactions and relationships are supposed to be like, making you feel even more lonely and likely to go back to talking to bots

And since the app is free, this means you're the product. They're probably selling your data to third parties (even Pinterest does that)

We're also the first generation to have access to AI, so we end up playing the role of lab rats without even realizing it. AI has triggered psychosis in some people already

Other alternatives:

Go read fanfiction and maybe write some of your own. Writing is beneficial to the brain. You can read and write headcanons, drabbles, one-shots, x readers, imagines... Have fun and don't forget to leave some comments to interact with the authors. Become active in the community

Roleplay. You can find a group to roleplay with, create a RP blog or find some roleplayer accounts to interact with

Install one of those fake chat apps and make your own chats

Join a server and talk to other fans

Go play some fan games. There are so many storytelling games out there that were made by fans and for fans. You can even make your own if you have the skills

Remember that writing and drawing are not skills people are born with. Everyone practices and it's extremely normal to not be good at it at first. It takes time to get better, but the main goal of these hobbies is to have fun and just create in general

Feel free to add more things to this post

Actually, you ARE canonically with your beloved. I saw you in that one episode/cut scene. You know the one. You two were like two peas in a pod I remember don't worry. Don't listen to the people who say you aren't canon they just didn't pay enough attention 😒👎🏻
