vash is a really important character to me and i romantically self-ship with him to cope with personal issues and BPD. while i acknowledge that other people love him and i'm fine with interacting with said people, i feel severe discomfort being expressed to directly about other people's romantic + sexual wants with him and grow very overstimulated being told these things (calling him your boyfriend, saying what things you want to do to/with him, etc.) you can post about it or talk about it with others privately or in a group setting obviously but i'd really prefer not being told directly! yes, he's a fictional man but referring to him as a lover has helped me a lot with my issues, and i'd appreciate it if at least my friends respect this. :')
