Comfort.

Selfship spaces, even in the current year, seem to stagnate to the 'default' of thin white person. It's jarring how, for example, a fat person will note the rising fatphobia growing in the world, and seek comfort with their F/Os, only to find all the imagines and fic and art to be thin.

It's always language that denotes thinness and whiteness in fanfiction and imagines. It's always "visible jawline", "prominent collarbones", "thin fingers", "dainty legs". It's always "carded fingers through your hair", "the pink hue of your cheeks", "button nose".

That isn't to say these don't have a place in selfship spaces. Everyone is welcome regardless of gender, race, and everything else. But thin white folk are so used to being the default, to being the only thing worth thinking about, that they don't even pay any mind to the fact their disadvantaged kin are struggling with real life oppression, and go about their day. Some will never acknowledge it, and some will acknowledge it and degrade other selfshippers for that struggle.

When you have the privilege of being the standard in real life, you forget that there are people who are mistreated because they aren't you.

So for all the fat selfshippers, the black selfshippers: You matter. You deserve fat-centric selfship spaces, you deserve black-centric selfship spaces, you deserve to have both at the same time.

It isn't "cringe", it isn't "annoying", and it isn't "entitled" to want selfship spaces to include you. You deserve to be included.

Every one has unsourced claims that BL doujinshi have saved otomes such as Dialovers. However this claim goes against the actual evidence that YUME shippers, the primary audience of otome and shoujo, are the ones saving and keeping these genres afloat. This is well documented, using Dialovers as an example: it started as a bdsm drama CD (Diabolik Lovers Do-S Vampire Vol.1 Ayato Sakamaki being the first one released in December 2011) that ended up so popular in yume communities that Rejet created Diabolik Lovers ~Haunted Dark Bridal~ in October 2012.

Its important to note that all the love interests in Dialovers are brothers, but even with that there was a small fandom shipping them. But this was greatly overshadowed by the larger Heroine x Love Interest Community since that is the primary audience for Dialovers.

This isn't to say Fujoshi don't have a place in yume communities, except that they have always considered the other as an "opposite" of eachother in Japan. Neither are particularly respectful to the other when visiting eachother. A big problem in western fujin spaces is Gay Fudanshi using their gayness as a shield to be horribly misogynistic to female yumejoshi, quoting a now deleted (i think I blocked them months ago) twitter user "you should have just called me a faggot if you wanted to be homophobic" when simply given an explanation on why you should tag your LI x LI art, basic fandom etiquette. However yumenushi harrass fujin with long rants about how 'this character can't be gay they're married to ME!" (I'm sure you've seen that post about that Aizawa self shipper)

explanation:

argenti's name comes from argentum, which means silver.

aurum means gold, and aurora has the "aur" part in it.
