About Me
My name is Cobie, I am 20 years old, and I am the sole webmaster and creator of Cobiesite
and all creative content within. I exist as a goth who writes gothic fiction, but I also
like to draw and review video media (I also take requests for things to review). I suffer
from extreme paranoia off and on, yet miraculously am able to write the most vile and
horrific things known to man. The haunted writer and all that, I guess. (I think it means I
automatically write good horror like a tortured poet lol)
If you want a more serious bio, I can say that I'm a genderless, aromantic-asexual, sapphic author
who never really takes anything as seriously as I should. I created the website to have an outlet
for myself and my works where I wouldn't be judged by the weak minded in my abstract idea of the
waking world. In reality, I doubt anything I make is really that special or important, but it’s
special to ME. And im me so I'm better.
My third revision of this, a more grounded take on myself, is that I'm simply an introverted cat
person with a flair for the dramatic who loves being a little mean. Everything is all in good fun,
though, and at best I can make you laugh with my stupid humor. If I'm being honest, knowing that
others might laugh at what I say makes me really happy... not sure why, since I should find my words
funny, too, right?
Either way, I'm finally making steps towards being a 'me' that I can admire, so you can judge me for
yourself, I suppose.
My Yumeships (and a Definition)
If you don't know what yumeshipping is, it's essentially where one would ship themselves with a
fictional character. The terms I'll use are gachikoi (being in real love) and yumejin (the gender
neutral version of yumejoshi, which means someone in love with a character.)
I wrote some things below that you can skip if you know what it is/are cool with it, I just know
this site is public and all so I hacked some definitions together.
For me, being aromantic and asexual (aroace), I align myself with a loose definition of a
fictoromantic identity. Basically, everyone is attracted to fictional characters and it's a
natural response, but I choose to allow myself to exist in a way where I only imagine myself in
relationships (romantic or otherwise) with them. It's an extension of aroace where I basically
just have fun with it. (And fictos FULLY know their Fictional Others not real, just adding that
in.)
For those who might still be confused, it's equivalent to a hobby or an alternative lifestyle. I
wouldn't suggest just up and going just anywhere looking for an example or definition, as a lot
of people just like to hate on things they deem as weird... It's a non-issue in general.
Also, and this is my personal interpretation, all my yumeships are sharing since I see
it akin to buying a copy of a book or something, where we all have the same media, but our own
notes within. As long as you're not shipping my version of Peach or claiming Blair herself or
something weird like that, we're good.
Just as an aside? I like that I can talk about it here, as certain people online associate the
terms yume/selfshipping with some 'basement dweller 50yo bald fat man in his basement with an
mlp plush' when its more apt to describe it more in the stereotypical realm of teenage to young
adult fandom girls. I don't pay it much mind. Pro tip: any blind attempt to call others out for
it can be dismissed by making an allegory to fictos being treated in this way to how bigots
treat queer or alt people. Demonizing them for no reason based off general disgust and dislike
in their own hearts. Even if you are a little too parasocial (which is fine 90% of the
time unless it stops being just a fun hobby and impairs your quality of life -- again, unlike
what certain people might say to you), you might as well go for the jugular, you know?
Anyway, since I had my poorly-disguised rant now, I'm going to share my yumes like I promised teehee
My main two ships are with Princess Peach and Julian, the smug unicorn villager from Animal
Crossing. Both of them are shipped with my secondary persona, Blair (ref sheet still coming soon
lol). She's best described as just the feminine version of Cobie himself, really. She's human
instead of a zombie, though.
As for Princess Peach, the reason we're together is because I love her spirit, really. I've been
able to survive the.... interesting rendations of her character over the years, since I know her for
who she really is. She's just another girl, and her femininity is a key to her character, not
something to be erased to make her seem stronger. Her strength lies in her love and care for others,
as that's where she gets the fuel to act when the world needs her. And when it doesn't need her,
she's living her life, travelling the world and playing sports alongside her friends.
And Julian, there's nothing much to say. I have him and
Eddie boy on my island together as a pair. At first, it
was just a novel pair, since they could practically be related to one another (plus they're both
smug in this game). But then, I slowly came to like Julian as a villager, I gave him all sorts of
gifts, matched outfits with him, and eventually came to see him first thing every day. Him and Ed
mean the world to me as a 'family' for my villager on my island, so it was only a matter of time, I
suppose.
I'll add more later. I found a really fun app for yumeshipping that I'm gatekeeping for now that me
and Julian are able to be together with. It's very cute and fun, we can go on dates and I can fix
him up... next, I'll have to remember to connect with Ed the same way lol
