I was informed today that alchemivich, someone who has given twst resources for free for a really long time, is retiring from doing that today :( im so sad but I’m also glad they’re free of the stress; I wonder who will do it now, though
WHAT MAKES A YUME? CONT.
A Yume is someone who sees a character from their media, but rather than just liking them; they feel true feelings to the character. While romantic yumes are the majority, platonic yumes exist too!
my least fav thing abt twst fandom is always getting Jade’s least favorite food wrong 😭 it’s explicitly conger eel—not moray—so YES jade has eaten his kind outside of his siblings. and he happened to NOT like that species so much he hates it..i think he can & will eat eel again
This is a PSA to fandoms who have completely watered down the term ‘yume’. No hate to anyone who was uneducated, misused, or didnt understand the term. This is an education thread! I just hope the original meaning can come back to it.
TYPES OF YUME (SUBCATEGORY-DTKH)
Non-sharing yumes often block other yumes who love the same character and sometimes they don’t want their mutuals to follow other yumes of that character. Starting arguments over this is stupid and you should not start drama over this.
WHAT MAKES A YUME? CONT.
A yume feels /real/, often romantic, feelings towards a character and in romantic relationships, see the character as a real partner. In platonic senses, the character is seen as a true best friend!
where’s that one person who rlly likes fem gyaru Kalim because i was halfway thru this and then I thought of them and finished the drawing for them. gyaru Kalim liker i Hope you see this. and all the other gyaru Kalim truthers. she is a gal.
WHERE DOES YUME COME FROM?
The word ‘yume’ originally comes from 夢, the Japanese word for ‘dream’. The term ‘yume’ originated from ‘yumemuke’ (夢向け), not from yumejoshi, -danshi, or -jin.
Extra notes
⁃yumejins can yume and selfship simultaneously
⁃yumejins can experience ‘love at first sight’, yume-ing a character instantly
⁃yume can be an noun or verb in English context (he’s a /yume/; she /yumes/ this character)
⁃yumejins can also have a self insert
SO, WHAT MAKES A YUME?
Yume is rapidly replacing the term selfshipper, but they are not the same at all!
A ‘selfshipper’ will use their /self-insert/ as a way to input themselves into the media and /ship/ themselves with a character they really like!
TYPES OF YUME CONT.
There are sharing and non-sharing yumes (we’ll get into why this is later)
Sharing yumes are okay with people sharing their oshis, while non-sharing yumes (also known as 同担拒否 - doutankyohi/dtkh) are people who are NOT okay with sharing.
WHAT MAKES A YUME? CONT.
Yumes and selfshippers are NOT the same, so it’s advised to use the term that fits best.
With the term yume being on the rise, it’s important to remember the difference as to avoid confusion and keep the original meaning true!
TYPES OF YUME (SUBCATEGORY-DTKH) CONT.
It is valid to be upset over losing mutuals because another yume doesn’t want their friends to follow you but attacking them is a horrible thing to do.
I don’t like jamikali myself at all but to mischaracterize just to prove a point means the point ur making. doesn’t work. comparing Ruggie to jamil is apples to oranges because they have totally different circumstances … twsttwt plz learn to read & understand characters
I hope this helps people understand ‘yume’ and ‘yumeshipping’ more! Ask any questions and I’ll see if I can answer them!
Thank you to my friend for helping me with this thread 🤍
