yume/selfshipping term glossary
i've typed yume so many times making this it's in my auto correct..... anyway, msg me on twt (@rendecaying) or discord (@imthe.alpha) if theres any terms i messed up or missed!!!!
RANDOM DISCLAIMER! i've seen a lot of people saying that the term yumeshipping is sort of a "thing, Japan" type thing, and i think this is mostly untrue. i personally like the term yumeshipping more because "yume" means dream, and i love dreaming abt my f/os. at the end of the day, it's night, and u can use either yumeshipping or selfshipping based on ur preference!
