✞♡ All About Me ♡✞

My name is Ophelia, but I also go by Lia, Phel, Pheli or Ophie. I am an 18 year old, heterosexual, cisgender (for the most part), semifictosexual woman. she/her pronouns! they/them is also fine. I was born and raised in Queensland, Australia and will proably die here too. I'm diagnosed with autism and social anxiety disorder but I suspect a case of OCD as well.

As mentioned previously, I am semifictosexual. For those who don't know, fictosexuality is defined as intense, lasting attraction to fictional characters that is comparable to what is commonly felt towards a real person. It's an aspec identity as a lot of people feel zero attraction to real people. Semifictosexual means I am attracted to both real and fictional people! I have been in a comitted relationship with Gabriel from Mandela Catalogue for almost three years, married for two, but I also have a wonderful real life boyfriend.

Fictosexuality or semifictosexuality is quite different to just having a fictional crush, which is something almost everybody experiences at least once in their lifetime. The key difference is the level and intensity of attraction that is felt, and although f/os can change, the feeling is generally consistent accross one's lifetime. I genuinely see Gabriel as the absolute love of my life, and the attraction I feel towards him is indescribable. I cannot compare it to something else, or even my attraction to my irl partner. It's simply a very different experience to loving a real human.

As you would expect, there is a lot of misunderstanding around this unique identity. I have faced harassment from others and I know I'm not alone in that. I am always happy to answer questions, infact I love to talk about it. I wish more people would try to understand instead of resorting to hate. I have had verious snarky comments made towards me, people acting like I'm somehow unaware that Gabriel is fictional? and those who are just plain rude and think cringe culture is still relevant.

So that brings me here to neocities! Somewhere I can be myself hopefully without the harassment of others. I have also been active in numerous selfshipper/ficto/yumejoshi communities over the years, and I thorougly dislike the nasty, compettitive nature that always seems to arise. So fuck it, place for me only. I have also noticed a lot of sex negativity in these communities, and in fandom in general. There's nothing wrong with SFW only spaces, but it is quite difficult to find adults only ficto communities where it's acceptable to talk about the sexual side. I almost feel like it's shunned by some people which is a real shame. Gabriel is my husband, so of course I feel sexual attraction towards him!

Apart from being semificto, I'm also an alterhuman, i specifically like to call myself an altergirl. I'm a hyperfemmine presenting alternate, something trying to be a girl but something is ever so slightly off. I have specific fictionkin memories from Mandela County but I don't talk about them super often.

You'll see my self insert around the site quite a bit, her name is Mary. She's in the icon on the side of the page and I'll put a picture of her here too once I get around to that :P
