Recently I have started playing an opening I sort-of made, playing as black, it’s 1. e4 c6 2. f4 and you respond with e5, and from I can tell it’s not named, nor is it losing or unplayable. Also most people just play fxe5 or f5 which lose on the spot.

Yes. It's called the Kings Gambit Declined. There are 142 games in the Chessbase Megabase 2024. With the supplied game being the earliest known example.
