My 3 AM thoughts:
"am i loved?"
"bitch of course i'm loved i have a boyfriend"
"okay but besides that like what if he's just weird"
"people simp for every drawing of me that my bf posts"
"no like do i have friends"
"oh. ... probably not?"
"okay"
"okay"

I just want to feel like I have friends and then I go on any social media, look at the comments on Ted's stuff, and instead of seeing them say nice platonic things it's them saying they want to simp for me and/or how they caught feelings for me. I don't like it :(

I'm going on a tangent now but it just like ,,, Makes both me and Ted feel so uncomfortable? Like,,, I'd expect fans to be weird if one or both of us were reALLY big content creators? But I have barely anything going for me and Ted is relatively not h u g e

Although I will say he has thousands of fans and that makes me v proud, that's nowhere near a size where I would expect people to start being weird. Like,,, We're people? I'm a person. I'm not ted's oc guys, so please uhhh
treat me like a person thanks :')

On the note of that, I think that's partially why I don't like people shipping fictional characters, just like how I don't want people to ship real people. It's weird to me, and personally when somebody says a weird comment about me (it happens every post about me), I just,,, ugh

Ted gets really uncomfortable and he gets worried, and so do I
As much as I can tell him that "Hey, I'm not leaving you for anyone, let alone one of your horny followers," it won't be that easy. Anxiety is ass man :(

We just want people to be cool :(

Like,, A lot of his fans are really nice!! And I'd love to get to know some of them better, they seem to be great friends to Ted so I want to be their friend too. But then there's that weirdly outspoken minority and it just,,, puts both of us off.

I'm gonna try to wrap up this thread now, so here goes: Please, treat people you see on the internet with respect, especially if you look up to them. If you look up to Ted, please treat him with respect by also respecting what he posts.

If you aren't sure how an artist wants you to treat their OC's, treat them like a person. If you aren't sure if a drawing depicts a real person or an OC, please ask. And especially if they are a real person, respect their relationships, romantic or platonic or other.

Overall, I don't find it,,, That difficult? It's the same rules you'd apply to any real person. In the end, please, just let Ted draw what he wants to. I really don't want him to be discouraged from doing what he loves because people are being weird. Thank you

I hope this thread didn't come across as mean, I know it was reqlly sudden but we've felt this way for a while now, basically since Ted started posting art depicting me. I really love that art, ngl, and so does he I believe, so I just don't want the fun ruined :(
