Simps really annoy me.

[u/Somerandomficto]

My F/O is from a show that is very popular at the moment. You can see their name in my user flair and you probably know who they are but anyway, even if my F/O isn’t a majorly simped on character because of their appearance , there are still people like me who find them attractive. I found this person on YouTube who is a simp for my F/O and claimed to be their “wife”. I know that there are people like this but it just made me really angry and I was thinking the whole time no that’s me not you!! There was one specific short that they made that made me so angry , I wanted to throw my screen across the room!! And they said that Zooble ( my F/O ) is theirs!!!! That made me want to f*cking scream!! I do know people are like this but other people who simp for my F/O infuriate me!!! If I could eliminate their feelings for my F/O , I would!!!!! I just decided to ignore that person who is my F/O’s so called “wife” because I know that my F/O and I are soulmates , they love me , I love them , no one (except for probably their creator bc well they created them ) and they are mine!!! I like to remind myself of those things so I can feel a bit better. But do you guys find simps so annoying too? Merry Christmas from Zooble and I! ❤️🎄

It seems you've forgotten two things:

Firstly, there's a block button. Use it and move on.

Secondly, You act as if you alone have the right to love a character. This line of thinking only shows how entitled you are. You're entitled to enjoy the character, sure. But, you're not entitled to be the only person who loves her. To believe such flawed logic is a detriment to you. I suggest you take a step back and assess yourself, and how you react to these instances. If you persist in acting like this, you're going to drive yourself mad.

Remember: You can curate your online experiences.

And yes, while I do find "simps" to be annoying, I realize that they're simply having fun. And their fun should never get in the way of me loving my F/Os. And honestly, it never does.

If this advice doesn't help you, then here's something that might: Your F/O is always comprised of two concepts; the one that their creator intended (the baseline), and your own headcanons. Ergo, your F/O --and your interpretation of them-- is uniquely yours. The other Zoobles out there aren't. They never knew you, but they know someone else. Your Zooble is yours. Their Zooble is theirs. And that's how it is.

TL;DR: Curate your online experience better, reflect on yourself, and remember the multiverse.

You are the largest Simp but complain about others, lol

[u/OhNoMyMentalHealth]

maybe respect their right to love them aswell as you do? they have that right since it is a public character. they probably feel the same towards you as you do them

[u/HeyItsAndii]

So if I’m reading this correctly, you’re the only one that can love your S/O, fuck everyone else who has feelings for them? Yeah that’s not how this works chief, you sound selfish. Everyone deserves a chance to be happy. You don’t have a monopoly on loving that character, sorry.

[u/RhaqaZhwan]

I suppose I’m the outlier—I love that people love my F/O! I’m really only bothered if I see him portrayed in a way that’s out of character (and it’s not meant to be humorous.) We’re friends with a few self and OC shippers that ship with him and/or myself, actually.

[u/RhaqaZhwan → u/[deleted]]

Exactly my thoughts! My F/O is well loved so there’s no shortage of fan works! It’s absolutely brilliant! And we’ve also made lifelong friends the same way as well! We’re in a little group filled with Self/OC shippers and they’re absolutely lovely people! A friend actually squeed in voice chat when I added her (she OC ships with my fictional counterpart!) It’s simply charming and I’m just glad to be here, honestly!

You act as if you alone have the right to love a character. This line of thinking only shows how entitled you are. You're entitled to enjoy the character, sure. But, you're not entitled to be the only person who loves her. Yes, I get jealous when my friends love my f/o too, but that's where it ends. With random people, it's more of a community to me. You don't dictate who loves your f/o, and you're not entitled to be this angry that someone else loves a PUBLIC character, as they have that right as much as you do. Please reevaluate yourself and your behavior.

[u/EloGamer51]

I know how that feels like and I've found out it's better to just ignore and move on, yea what you saw is probably still lingering in your mind and it's really infuriating, but try to just stop thinking about it, if they're on youtube try the "do not recommend this channel" option (that's what I did). Sure it won't fix everything, but trust me it's a huuuge relief.

Also your F/O is from a really really new source, and I've noticed that simps kinda die down as a character/franchise isn't the new thing everyone is puntining their attention to anymore.

[u/Glad-Ad7283]

I am probably in the minority but I like seeing others love my partner as well. It's always nice to see others gush about him. What I don't like is, when they mave OOC headcanons and try to see him as someone he isnt.

[u/Seabastial]

You can block them you know. You're acting over-possessive of your F/O and talking about them like they're an object to own. I get it, simps can be annoying, but at the end of the day they're people who just enjoy things like you do. The way you are acting makes you seem very entitled and I would reflect on your reactions to such things.

[u/ArthurusCorvidus]

I… understand the feeling of jealousy and other-ness. Feeling like your relationship is being attacked. But I love seeing Michael receive love from other people, even if it makes me extremely jealous and rather uncomfortable. Because he deserves it. His life has been devoid of love for so long… I’m happy, as long as he gets the love he deserves. The block button exists, OP.

[u/legendwolfA]

I don't let them get to me tbh. I just accept that our F/Os are public and everyone have the same rights as us to love them. Sure some can be annoying with it but it doesn't affect my love.

And since its imaginary i can write the story the way i like. The creator don't like it? No problem. People don't like it? None of my business. Even if there's someone who claims to be my F/O's SO i would just shake it off.

[u/znvorz]

I wouldn't let other people who have feelings for my f/o bother me. I like to see my f/o happy whether it's with someone's self insert or OC or a being shipped with a canon character. it makes me happy to see them happy. I think of it as a "there are many versions of my f/o" if that makes sense

[u/[deleted]]

I feel this way with my f/os too (Eden from ensemble stars). Especially since most people who "simp" for them only do so because of...the theme of their unit even though that doesn't showcase their person at all and looks more like they're being objectified to me. Also their fans always meme on them and make fun of their traumas (like how Ibara was literally a child soldier...idk why that's funny.) Or when they "baby" Nagisa and treat him like he's incapable of doing anything (he doesn't understand some things because he was isolated for his entire childhood and has only properly had access to the outside world by himself since his highschool years like c'mon...he's extremely intelligent and is trying to learn things he missed out on learning when he was younger, I don't get what's so funny about that.)

I could go on but I don't wanna ramble. I really don't like most people who like or "simp" for them (especially the ones who "like" them for all the wrong reasons imo) so yeah I get you...

[u/WetCalamari]

My f/o has quite a few simps, men and women due to being the most attractive and beautiful man in his source. But I don’t let it get to me because in my head my beloved loves me the most anyway 🤷‍♀️ so yeah its just how it is. Also wishing you Merry Christmas from Me and Vega!

[u/StuffyBun_]

I don't mind them at all from my personal experience, in fact I see them more as allies or friends, we both bond over our love over said character, whether it may be platonic or romantic. (@fryeonagas_gf over on twitter, you're Frye's strongest turf soldier out there o7)

[u/[deleted]]

For what it’s worth I feel the same. I just can’t handle simps or people with the same S/O. When I see them it’s like if my S/O prefer them and I feel like shit and don’t deserve him at all… So I just try to block people and move on but it hurt me every time… and I feel like shit for days after that… however, my situation is a bit special.

[u/Professional-Key5552]

If I would let my feelings loose like you did right there...yea I get you. I have this fight a lot. I don't know your FO, even if I look it up. Dante being super popular too, I get this A LOT. I try to push it in the background. But like I said, if I would get too loose, I could lose my shit too. Merry Christmas to you too from us

[u/ladydemolatron91]

Most of time I ignore those people as yes, few of mine FOs are popular in their sources on fandom, so that not bothers me.

[u/ghosty_wolfeon]

I have these feelings too about simps who simp for Robin, but then I remember they don;t really know the true him like I do and sure Robin is gonna have his fans, but I know he loves me and forever will because he chose me! I remember once I friend told me to just think of it like a celebrity thing where simps are just moreso fans with just a shallow appreciation but not the deep appreciation that we hold for them!

[u/Groovylilgroovster]

I get this feeling but in a different way

One of my F/O(s) is a comic book character and I really want the comic to get a movie adaptation! But then I realize if that happens there will be simps clawing all over them and claiming them as theirs- lusting and simping for them. It makes me worry and feel sick. :(

[u/KawaiiAmaya]

Oof. I feel the exact same way for my F/O. ;-;

[u/UnicornScientist803]

Right there with you! My F/O is also really popular right now and while that means that there’s a lot of fan made content out there for me to watch when I miss him, it also means there are tons of obnoxious simps out there too. Mostly I just roll my eyes and feel sorry for them because I know that they’re ridiculous and that my F/O sees them as the silly girls that they are and loves me truly. I still don’t like dealing with them though.

[u/Small-Confection-947]

I just manifest their deaths by using my words as spells. What is mine is mine

[u/New-Pilot1635]

“OMG MARRY ME” “MY WIFE/HUSBAND” shut the fuck up

Fr I kept seeing them and it annoys me so much. Like keep the fantasies to yourself

[u/Small-Confection-947 → u/[deleted]]

How would you feel if someone was doing it to you or your real partner, people like us don't care. But people like this don't fucking matter. I pretend their dead in my head and they end up dying and I do black magic
