THIS THIS EXPLAINATION IS *chefs kiss* 😍✨let me stitch this; I used to think I was bisexual simply because I still fell in love with fictional men and found men aesthetically pleasing to my eyes but oh boy was I wrong for many and I mean MANY years[though ik this may not be the case for everyone in the LGBT+ community/self ship community it was for me so keep that in mind ] I struggled with the idea of aesthetic attraction and romantic attraction mainly separating the two until I came to the realization I was a lesbian, firstly because I would never date a man irl im only comfortable with woman and only finding woman attractive despite finding them aesthetically pleasing or liking that character , I would not be comfortable physically or mentally in a hetero relationship secondly it was only aesthetic attraction not raw romantic attraction that I had for these fictional men/male presenting characters. because I would never I mean NEVER date one if they were real, and which they aren't I only liked them because they were unattainable and I think that speaks for itself on the matter. thirdly, theres comphet, comphet can be very harmful towards the lesbian community and this is a healthier way of me coping rather then making rash decisions because of comphet .
lastly id like to add ; if you see lesbian folks self shipping with man/male presenting characters mind ya business and think twice about judging us and actually look into the context of it because we exist and we are valid for having this experience.
anyways thats the 🍵
I don't know who needs to hear this. But a reminder if you're female and self ship or f/o with a Male character but you are pan/bi/ace. It doesn't make you actually straight. If you ship mostly with men that doesn't make you actually straight.
Would any of the fictional men I like actually be a person I'd be interested in if they were a real person? Absolutely not! Most of their wild personalities and actions would not be okay in real life! Shipping with men on tumblr is safe and we can self project our own feelings and intentions onto them while avoiding real world issues. Online spaces like this become safe spaces for us to fantasize and love ourselves via these f/o's and self ships without danger. And to simply have fun delving into fictional worlds and spaces!
Honestly I could do a deep dive into that for hours. But bottom line is. Liking men doesn't make you any less gay. Especially fictional men that we're projecting onto!! Me finding the amazing hunk of man that Clark Kent is doesn't make me not pan anymore or lying about my feelings to anybody else it just means I have eyes and good taste.
I know I personally have had the passing thought of not being gay enough. Not shipping with women or anyone else enough. But the self doubt of "not being gay enough" is SUCH a gay thing to do!!! We owe explanations and "proof" to absolutely no one
You are valid and you are free to ship with whoever you want of whatever gender or sexuality you please. Sexuality is a spectrum and we are ever evolving beings. You are your own person and a beautiful member of the LGBTQIA+ community

forever reminder that you should respect gay men for saying their male f/os are gay coded, lesbians for saying their female f/os are lesbian coded, and trans people for saying their f/os are trans coded. instead of vagueing them like freaks because you never learned to respect people who don't align perfectly with you

Imagine you and your f/o regularly sharing clothes with eachother before you go public with your relationship, and somebody else figuring out you're together by putting the pieces together.

hello and welcome! my names hanna but you may call me bug if you prefer that. Im 21 so I prefer to interact with those that are 18+. I use she her and they them pro nouns please dont refer to me as ‘cis’, but anything else is okay!<3
🎀 i’m a selfshipper , so you will likely see self indulgent stuff here on this blog. I enjoy horror movies, pastel fashion, video games, make up and anime. I dont have one interest, its pure chaos on this blog so thought I’d give a heads up!
🎀 I follow back, recently am looking for new moots but if for some reason Im unresponsive it probably means im just having a bad day. and will get back to you shortly!
🎀 pls be patient as I do have anxiety and I tend to get socially drained but am doing my best to get myself out there! I love making new friends and meeting new people despite that!
🎀 I tag things appropriately , and try to keep this blog organized and not cluttered, #bug.txt for personal/shitposts, #bug.vents for vents and such you get the gist!:>I try to avoid abusing the tags as Ik some people get annoyed with it so I only use my own tags. as well as to avoid drama.
that being said im not in any fandom I just post what I like /what makes me happiest at the moment.
⚠️DNI IF: your a conservative trumpie, are anti Black Lives Matter/racist, fat shame others, are homophobic/transphobic/are a terf or support MAPs/map defender or your just in general a douche , you will be blocked on sight my arts +blog is not for you nasties. ⚠️
