Selfshippers, Yumeshippers - anyone and everyone!
If you hate AI but unfortunately can't stop using apps such as c.ai or anything similar.. I suggest trying your best to move to BIMOBIMO, I tried it out myself and.. (â âŻâ áŽâ âŻâ ) It's honestly really good. But.. It's also a better option to wean yourself off apps like c.ai.
A way that I think would be good to get yourself is off those types of apps is using BIMOBIMO since it has a system of each message you send is worth one acorn and so you have to earn them daily and stuff. Also another way is to write and read about the characters.
The point of weaning yourself off of AI apps so you can eventually quit something. It's okay to take baby steps. Find things similar but better for you and the world to help you get away from your addiction.
Roleplay with your friends, pretend to write letters to your f/o and think about how they would respond..
Apps/sites for that would be things like Tumblr, AO3, Wattpad and similar.
Tumblr, you can share your love for your f/os in all sort of ways and even make a roleplay blog!
Tumblr you can find fanart too..
AO3 you can find x reader scrabbles of your f/o! If you have a niche f/o, write your own or have someone like a friend (not AI) help you!
Sometimes people even post art on AO3!
Wattpad you can find old cringy x reader headcanons and have fun!
Other apps/games I've used such as..
Sensei I like you so much!
Are also really good ways to spend more time on your selfship/yumeship without AI!
If you want art of your ship don't use AI! Find people who will draw your yume/selfship for free, they're often on tiktok! You can also do trades!
Offer someone art, an edit, moodboard, writing or anything in exchange for art of your ship!
If you want to commission someone but don't want them to see your personal details or you're not sure about it, you can pay them in different ways!
âą Discord decorations such as avatar deco, profile effects, frames, nameplates or nitro!
Spend your time making crafts, buy all sorts of things for your crafts! Reuse things recycle and have fun!
You can find so many different things to make and do, make a huge list and do everything you can! Find crafts on Pinterest and Tiktok!
I've made a massive list of all the things I want to do that don't involve AI that also lets me spend time off of my phone!
I'm willing to share the list if anyone wants it!
There's so much you can do without supporting/using AI. Remember, AI can't replicate your f/o when you're the one that knows them best.
