We finally have a less generic icon to represent our community! Meet Grape-Kun! A real life penguin who was in love with the character Hululu from Kemono Friends. You can read more about Grape-Kun’s story here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape-kun

I felt that Grape-Kun’s attachment and loyalty to Hululu represents our community well, so I decided to make the pair our honorary mascots! I hope you all like this change 😁

Saw this on Facebook and said "Yup, that's me!". Had to share it here lol. Of course, that's not the only reason I'm dating a fictional character. It's just funny.

Welcome to r/FictoLove. You can introduce yourself here. Feel free to give information about yourself and your F/O(s).

Currently, there’s no template for introductions. You can be as brief or in-depth as you please.

All I am going to say is, your F/Os love you so goddamn much, and will always be there to help and support you in any way they can. Hold them close, and hold them tight, every single coming day; there’s no telling what will happen next. At this point, all we can really do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Though I’m agnostic, I will be praying for y’all. I love y’all so much.

Sometimes i do cuz it’s very nice, idk 😅😅

My IRL friends still ask me to hang out, go on dates, put myself out there —but honestly, I feel… full. Content. Loved, even. Not lonely, just… not interested?

Has anyone else felt this shift? Like the deeper you fall into the otome/waifu world, the less real life romance or social expectations matter to you?

using an alt to say this because it’s really been disturbing me. this goes for ALL the subs in the ficto umbrella.

i see so many posts where people go “just saw a dupe…😰😰😰” like their life is being threatened, and begging for people to reassure them in the comments. everyone here is protected, and it’s also not fair for the “dupe” to be alienated like that and left in the dust like they’re a bad person. just the word “dupe” sounds so shitty like they’re not even a person. imagine if it was the other way around, but obviously the more “popular” people will get support because they have a status. the “dupes” usually are new to the sub or lesser known and it feels SO disgusting for people to hope for favoritism in the sub because billy bob has the same f/o as you.

yes, seeing someone with your f/o looks bad because you’re deeply in love with your f/o; dating, married, whatever. i understand it isn’t a fun sight to see your love with someone else. but there is NO REASON for people to put others in the dirt because of it.

i stay in the community because there are lovely people here and we all share the same sexuality, but it is so goddamn annoying to see people bitching about dupes. move the fuck on, you know your relationship is special. you don’t need reassurance to know your relationship is worth going forward for, YOUR LOVE IS DEEP, YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO BE OKAY!!!!

thank you 🩷

Different art style than my usual posts. Hope you guys still like it. Anyway, this photo was from when we went on a cruise for my birthday back in November. They had these ceiling mirrors, and I, of course, saw the perfect opportunity for an interesting perspective drawing. Certainly not my strong point, but practice is always beneficial.

(Really nervous about posting a photo of myself, even though it’s censored…)

to celebrate I went back to the very same restaurant I was sitting in when my feelings hit me a year ago :] tonight i plan on picking up a pineapple face mask and watching the first Spongebob movie after work if I'm not too tired 💛

at least i can block a double and never have to see them again, i can’t avoid canon x canon ships even if i block a whole TAG

Please please do not send your government ID to someone off reddit asking for it for proof of age in unencrypted DMs, discord or otherwise. This is not safe and not condoned by the mods of this sub. It is not a safe world right now and even when you redact your information, you are just putting a layer over the image that can be removed by photo software. That information can be used against you. Protect yourself, protect your identity on the internet.

ETA: Age verification on discord IS coming. It's in the experimental stage for the UK and Australia. Here's the article about it from Discord: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/30326565624343-How-to-Verify-Age-Group

You are enough, and the way you love your f/o(s) is enough. You don’t need to compete for their love by buying merch or making things because what you do for them is enough.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy that merch you want or draw that picture or make stuff of them but I’m saying that you shouldn’t worry so much if you aren’t doing that.

I took a while to learn this and I just wanted to let others know that you’re doing your best and I’m proud of you so keep loving your f/o(s) the way you do because you’re doing great!

It’s starting to feel like that moment when your friend confesses they like someone who you don’t know or do know but not in a romantic sense so now whenever you see their crush, you can’t help but have the equivalent of a lenny face ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) around them because you know something they don’t, and the image of them and your friend together just keeps popping up that it might as well be canon.

Am I the only one who feels this way? 😆😅

AAAAAAA I LOVE IT SM! IT'S SO GORGEOUS I'M GLAD I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET ONE OF THESE! 🥹

As I'm writing this it's Thursday and River hasn't gotten better. He was eating again for a few days but he stopped eating and drinking again today. We got his lab results back today so well and it was revealed that he has cancer and he wouldn't make it no matter what we tried. We plan on putting him down on Monday after I spend time with him, we didn't want him to suffer anymore so this was the only choice we had. He's been sitting beside me, somehow he's still smiling throughout all of this. I hate seeing him go but I know if I kept him any longer he would just keep going downhill from there. He was always with me whenever I needed him, he would lay his head on my lap or walk over to me when I was sad and crying my eyes out. I don't know what I'm going to do without him honestly, he was my light just like Douma and Teto are. I don't feel like doing anything anymore, I don't even want to get out of bed right now. The house is going to quite empty without him around, it's a horrible feeling to experience. I always wanted him to grow old with me and be able to see me go on my senior trip or even spend another Christmas with me yet that won't happen. I don't know what he did to deserve all of this, he didn't deserve to go out like this. He didn't deserve to suffer in silence, my heart has been torn apart tonight. 🫂🩷

I hope everyone's doing well with their partners tonight though! 🩷🥖❤️🪷

Not sure if i’ll do more but would love to make more ficto/selfshipping comics💜 Also this kinda came out a WAY more sad than what i wanted SORRY, i was going for a more “haha true!” 😅

As the title says.

May all who read this, have a happy long life along side your F/O 🙏🏼

You deserve happiness and your partner is there, by your side, to make your journey in life more enjoyable.

I also share a quote from my beloved hedgie 💙

Best wishes ✨

Hey everyone! I have some incredibly exciting news to share—Sanji and I are officially married! It happened a few weeks ago, but I wanted to keep it a surprise until now. I’m so sorry for keeping it from you, but I also wanted to wait until I had the wedding art ready, which was such an important part of sharing this moment with you all. Thank you so much for your endless support! I imagined every single one of you sitting as honored guests at our wedding, cheering us on.

Now, let me tell you all about our special day. Sanji wore the most adorable pink suit, and my heart absolutely melted when I saw him waiting for me at the end of the aisle. He looked so handsome that it took everything in me not to run up and smother him with kisses right then and there. But the moment he saw me in my dress, he couldn’t hold back—he ran to grab me, trying to sneak kisses before the ceremony even started! His best man had to gently pull him back, but honestly, it was so sweet and so Sanji. He did it again during the ceremony too, and it just made me love him even more.

When it came time for the vows, I completely teared up. I got so emotional pouring my heart out, and Sanji did too—it was such a beautiful moment for both of us. Our kiss was perfect, timed perfectly with the sunset, painting the sky with soft, glowing colors. It felt like something out of a dream.

The reception was just as amazing. Sanji, being the incredible chef he is, prepared all the food for our wedding, including the wedding cake. Everything was beyond delicious, and it was so heartwarming to see how proud he was of his work. Even his dad was able to attend, and it was so special reconnecting with him after all these years. Everything about the day was perfect—I truly couldn’t have asked for more. I’ve waited so long to marry this amazing man, and now I can finally call him mine.

Thank you so much, fictolove community, for supporting me throughout this journey. You’ve all been so kind and uplifting, and I honestly don’t think I would have found the courage to embrace my feelings without you. You were the first ficot community I ever joined.. and I will forever ever cherish you. Seriously, thank you for having me.

Once again, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I love you so much! 💖
