I wanted to thank everyone in this group for making this one of the nicest places I've ever been in on the Internet. Like, seriously, this place makes me feel so happy and supported, and I am so glad that I now know more selfshippers/fictos like myself!
Some of you might know me from Tumblr, others Reddit, and some of you I haven't spoken to at all, and yet the message I have below is for each and every one of you lovely folk.
Ahem.
You are super awesome and amazing! Your ship is super awesome and amazing! The love you have for your F/O is so genuinely sweet to witness and I just know they're lucky to have you.
The way you express your love is always so heartfelt.
Some of you here draw or do photography, and your art/photos are genuinely so gorgeous. It's so wonderful that you feel so moved by your love for your beloved that you create art manifested from that love.
Some of you commission, and your commissions are always soooo good! How special and wonderful it is that you have art made especially for you and your F/O! You really know how to pick amazing artists and I am so happy that you can have beloved art too!
Some of you write, and your writing is so emotionally true and speaks so much of your love for your beloved, and vice versa. They are so lucky to have your talented words in their lives, and I am so grateful to be able to read the stuff you've shared here.
If you don't make or commission art, you are still awesome and valid too! Sometimes it's hard to put your love into words, and sometimes we feel shy, but that doesn't mean you love your F/O any less or vice versa! Whether you're a frequent commenter or more of a lurker, your presence is enough!
Also, I hope you know that there is nothing that could make your relationship less valid or anything like that. Not doubles, or haters, or anything!
Every time I check in on this subreddit, my day is instantly better because of people like you! So yeah, don't forget to be awesome and thank you for being here!
