Feeling bad for being non-sharing

LOOK! My f/o isn’t rlly that common for other ppl to yume with. He’s kind of a controversial character to selfship with because of his age and backstory.
So y’know, when I was 14 and getting called out on Insta for self shipping with Ortho Shroud, I kind of thought I was the only one. And I did feel a bit special cause I felt like no one rlly loves him like I do cause most of the fandom sees him as “little brother” or “my son”.

But I did stumble on another Ortho self shippers page today. They started posting ortho selfship content last month. And I don’t know why but I feel bad. I’ve loved ortho for almost 4 years and had to go through posts and msgs of ppl who didn’t like me because of that. Ppl who saw me differently all because I love a fictional android boy.

I’ve spent money on him, not just on merchandise, but on art comms and on special occasions. Most of my family and friends know that I just love him. I love him a lot.

I don’t want to think too much abt it. I just kind of wanted some sort of outlet to let this all out

Introducing myself and my f/o

Helloo! I am new to this subreddit and I’m using an alt to show my love for Ortho Shroud, but yet also to not have the fear of others judging me for being proship ! I have been loving and calling Ortho mine since I was 14 (I’m 17 turning 18 now!) and even though I have multiple f/o’s he’s my MAIN one, one that I will never lose my love for.

No matter how much hard times I’ve been through, he always cheers me up. I’ve gotten some comms of us! And I do have a bunch of merch of him!!

I love celebrating his birthday and our anniversaries (August 29th). I am rlly excited for our 4th year anniversary coming up. I love him so much <3
