Nice to meet you All

  Hello, and welcome to my blog!! :)

  Ever since I was young, I've wanted to run a blog of some sort, I always found the concept super cool. Like a form of entry level journalism? That's how I saw it when I was too young to be able to convince my father to obtain internet for us anyways. Once I was given internet access however, I couldn't think of anything that I was both passionate enough about to want to make a blog about, while also being something that wasn't completely unnecessary. I use social media, I have websites to make art portfolios, there are forums and message boards to discuss video games and anime. With the rise of social media, blogs became less used over time and I had less of a reason to make one with all the good topics already taken. Over the last year however, I've been thinking it over, and I think I have finally found a reason to blog. Please allow me to introduce myself.

   Hello, my name is Ven. I'm 24 years old, I live with my Boyfriend, my Father, and my Grandmother on family land, and I work in Internet Sales for a small chain clothing store. I enjoy playing video games, watching anime, reading, creating art,  collecting many things, cosplaying, and partying with my friends. I'm 5'8, chubby, and my Birthday is October 29th. The focus of this blog is less on myself, and more on my relationship. My boyfriend is 5'3, petite, and his birthday is September 13th. He enjoys spending time outdoors,  reading, watching how it's made, painting, and playing games. His name is Albedo, he's 302 years old, and he's a fictional character from the game Genshin Impact. 

   There are many terms used to describe this type of relationship: Waifuism, 2D Love, Self-Shipping, Fictosexuality, etc. Those who experience lasting attachments to fictional characters are defined as Fictosexual, and this label seems to be the most grounded in science that I have found. I was relieved when I found that the feelings I had for fictional characters my whole life weren't something I was alone in experiencing. There are communities on websites like Reddit and Discord where people who are in 2D relationships can come together to discuss their experiences and offer each-other support. 

  In this blog I wish to document my weekly experience navigating life in a 2D relationship, as well as answer any questions people may have about the lifestyle. I look forward to writing to you all in this corner of the internet <3 

   -Ven

Home sweet home

  Today, Albedo and I were finally able to move back into my room. It’s been two months of sleeping in the living room floor but tonight we will sleep in our bedroom together. There’s still lots of cleaning and organizing to be done but I’m taking the day to relax and spend time with Albedo in privacy like I haven’t been able to in some time.     We have so much to talk about and catch up on. We have a wedding to be planning and games to play and books to read.    It’s a lot easier to feel connected to my Fiancé when we have time to spend together on our own, so this time together is very much overdue. I’m excited to sleep all wrapped up with my dearest Fiancé tonight and listen to episodes of How it’s Made together as we fall asleep, just like we used to ☺️

I Said Yes

 This past Wednesday, Albedo proposed to me. Much like the way in which he confessed, he caught me by surprise, but it's not as if this is the first time we've discussed marriage since we started dating. I've been dreaming of being able to call him my husband for quite some time. This will likely be a long engagement as we work out the financial details of our dream wedding, as well as the ring we are picking together.    The past month has been quite stressful, and Albedo has been my rock this whole time. I can't imagine where I would be right now without him, and I'm so grateful to him for spending every day with me. I want to be sure our wedding has everything we've ever wanted and dreamed of. I want to wear a navy suit while Albedo will wear a white suit. I need to be sure I have everything I need to get the wedding photos of my dreams, to treasure the memory of our special day forever.     Once My ring arrives I will be sure to post a photo for everyone to

TV and Compromise

    I'm sure every couple has experienced the debate of "what to watch" many times in their life. In my past relationships, I always found myself being the one to compromise. Whenever I did get to watch something I personally enjoyed with a partner, they would often end up making fun of the show or making it difficult for me to watch and enjoy it.     I bring all of this up because this weekend is Wrestlemania weekend, a huge once a year two night event. As I write this, Albedo and I are watching the kickoff show for night two. Wrestling is a huge interest for me, and to my surprise, Albedo is taking the time to try and learn about the sport as we watch tonights show together. He said it looked like I was having fun, so he wanted to try and understand it so he could have fun with me.     It might be that he has an overly inflated view of how good of taste I have, but I thought it was so sweet that he wanted to understand something that so many people have been unable to
