Friend: "Why would you spend $200 on Yu-Gi-Oh cards just to get Aleister the Invoker, he's not even that good!"
Me: "Perhaps he is not. I made the decision for no reason other than husbandoism."
Friend: "Well, can't argue with that!"

Husbandoist

Coming from the word "husbando" (a fictional male/male aligned character from fictional media such as anime, manga, videogames, etc.), it's a person who feels an extremely deep romantic attraction to a character as if they were in a serious relationship, similar to romantic yumeshipping but with stricter rules (though you don't have to follow all of them).

To make the rules super short: You are only allowed one husbando, having a relationship with a real life person at the same time as your F/O (fictional other) is considered cheating, headcanons of any type must be as close to or accurate as possible to canon, and you can't use husbandoism for a way to wait for a real relationship like you can with yumeshipping. Again, nobody has to strictly follow all these rules and you can be fluid with them. It's never that serious.

Person A: "Hey you really like insert character, are you one of those yumeshippers?"

Person B: "Not quite! Im a husbandoist. They're basically cousins though, so I get the confusion."

Person A: "So the answer is yes..."

Person B: "Um... No..........."
