Hi, is the anon from Friday. Thank you for taking some of your time answering my questions even though you really didn't have to. I also read a couple of older asks you got, and it makes me genuinely sad you get harassed over such trivial matters. I usually just interact in fandom through the likes and repost aspects, with some comments here and there, but it pisses me off seeing people believing they are so entitled to someone's works. If you want something, commission it for christs sake.
That being said, I still don't understand the concept of non-sharing ships, but I kinda do. You see, a couple of years ago I had a very niche character I was obsessed with, and the very few self-insert fanart I saw of them made me jealous, but I lost that feeling with time, and now I consume all types of self-insert stories and art that people share online because I love seeing my faves getting loved. This is not to say I want you to change in any way; I'm just trying to communicate I kind of get where you are getting from, even if a little.
I'm also curious if I could still interact with your stuff. I don't run a self-insert blog, but I do love Sukuna and always reblog a lot of stuff . Is it cool if I keep reblogging your art in my fanart tag? You just have a way of capturing him that many don't. sorry for the wall of txt :(
Hi Anon, thank you for your long comment and for your politeness.
It is thanks to your kindness that I will try to explain this in the best way possible.
First of all, yes, it's okay for you to interact with my blog. I don't mind Sukuna fans. I'll leave an image in the post that were my old boundaries that I used to have on my Twitter profile! (They're no longer valid.)
I never had many problems with other Yumes about jealousy and etc; in fact, I interacted with several ones. My current DNI stems from the fact that many other Yumes started to overstep my boundaries and be disrespectful to me. They treated my insert like a Y/N in my arts, and that's something that would bother even Sharings yumes, used my Yume art to talk about their Yume with Sukuna, they were making very sexual comments about Sukuna in sfw arts and that's something that deeply bothers me if I don't know you, It's another case of "because some people,everyone pays." I'm tired of asking for respect or being polite about these issues and have decided to simply "ban" any Yume from interacting, even if I lose nice people in the process.
I understand what you mean about enjoying seeing a character you love receive love! I really understand, I was a Sharing romantic with another FO in the past and I'm a platonic Sharing Yume with Toji, so seeing other platonic or romantic Yumes of his always makes me very happy and I have many interactions with Yumes of his, But Sukuna isn't something I like to do, maybe because I don't like how many people handle his character; many seem extremely off-character, and he's an extremely important character to me, so I can't ignore that, also because Sukuna for me has a special relationship that I've never had with another character so I feel very protective about him, like when you find a song that impacts you a lot and you want to keep it to yourself, He was also a character who helped me through two losses in the same month that still impact me today, and a suspected case of cancer in my hands (fortunately it was benign). But you can imagine that, as an artist, having cancer developing in my hands would have made me very sensitive.
I'm speaking from experience; I, or anyone else who isn't sharing, wouldn't want to be non-sharing. I would choose to be sharing. It makes no sense to me to choose to suffer so many malicious comments because of one limit, or to sometimes be bothered by other Yumes.
I always try to be as polite as possible because I believe everyone should be that way,respect is extremely important to me, and I try to maintain it even when I'm extremely angry, also because I know that when a non sharing are rude, they are marked by it. People can be rude and cross boundaries all the time and it's forgettable, but if I act the same way, I will always be reminded of it.
