#No I'm NOT tagging all those F/Os you'll just have to ask who they are if you're curious

[kakusu-shipping]

Thought it'd be fun to fill out the Monster Lover Bingo by @sparklebrainz but couldn't do it normally. I wanted everyone to know which monsters checked what boxes.

🌈 for aqua!!

Hi George!! Thank you very much for sending this!!~

I will also be tagging @winds-beloved in this answer, because they happened to ask me the same question! So, thanks to you as well, Merlin!~

(source: this post by bewearships)

send me a 🌈 + one of my F/Os for my sexuality/gender headcanons for them! - ..Despite Aqua being one of my main romantic F/Os (and certainly who I would call the first F/O I "actively" selfshipped with, despite not knowing of the term at the time), I addmitedly don't have any particularly significant or stand-out headcanons for her! If I had to give you a concrete answer at this moment, I'd probably say that sexuality-wise she's a lesbian, while gender-wise she's cis but she has given it a lot of thought before settling on that conclusion.

I hope that this is alright! Thank you again for sending this ask in~

hi this is basically my part 2 of my post about being a small selfship blog

that post was met with a good amount of small blogs being happy about what i had written, meanwhile there was a handful of blogs that still expressed being upset that they were so small despite the work they'd put into their stuff.

i should preface by saying, even though i've had posts get over 300+ notes, and i have over 100+ followers, im really not a big blog, and i do seriously mean that.

yes, my posts about selfship scenarios and positivity do get a good amount of notes, and lots of the tags are very positive and fun to read. but if you do look through my blog, you'll notice those are the only posts that get any attention. all my posts about my personal selfships barely get notes, i barely get any asks even when doing ask games, and i've even tried participating in those "reblog with your f/o and i'll assign them this!" posts and i dont think i've ever gotten a reply.

and yeah, the last one at least has bothered me a bit, and i wish i couldve been part of the fun, but i'll be honest— when i made my selfship blog, i literally made it to be my own corner where i can go gushy gooey crazy over my fictional men. and those posts i made about general selfshipping scenarios and such, those were me just throwing ideas at the walls so i had a place to put them and maybe a few people could see it and feel a lil better. i never intend for my stuff to get a lot of attention because honestly, i'm used to it, so my expectations are always extremely low, and i'm rarely ever upset about it not working out.

but i know for some people, that's not the same for them, and that's completely fair. they work hard on what they make, either through writing, through artwork, comics, animation, even just putting down their thoughts. its natural to have that part of you that wants to be seen and appreciated for what you made, even if it is self-indulgent and not a lot of people will relate to it.

and i am sorry to all of you who are in that boat, feeling like what you made isnt good enough because not many noticed it, that you don't have people asking about your f/os or s/is, that anything you made with love isn't getting that same response. i know it's hard, and honestly i wish i knew what i could say that would help you to feel better. but please just know that you're really not alone, and just because you aren't seen doesn't mean you aren't good enough for this community.

honestly the best advice i could try to give is that you still have a corner for where you can freely express your love for the characters that bring you happiness, and even if you don't have much of an audience, i think it's worth remembering that your f/os are your #1 supporters through and through, no matter what type of attention you get. they're happy that you love to talk about them, draw them, gush about them, even if no one sees it. they're happy that you've dedicated a space just about them.

and even if you don't get much notice out of it, please remember that you still deserve a place to feel safe and free.

it's going to be okay. i promise. please take care of yourself. its what your f/os would want, i'm sure.

Hi! I have a question, you can ignore this if you want to but I’ve found myself really loving the way you write and the range of writing you can articulate as well. Speaking from someone who is nowhere close to that level of skill you possess, would you mind being able to explain your journey of writing, if you practiced any particular methods or anything else to get to this stage you are at right now? Unless you have been gifted the talent of writing from birth and didn’t need to try for much long or long enough to call it a journey. Could you also spare some tips and advice for someone who wants to start writing stories and what to look into/practice?

I love your work a lot and I am constantly waiting for the notification of your new posts, despite not being a writer myself I do love breaking down and analysing writing and your stories are always such good options for me to look into. Thank you so much for writing and sparing your time to produce such well done pieces of work — I felt extremely corny writing this, excuse me for this language, I promise I’m not a pimp!

THIS ISN'T CORNY AT ALL!!!! ❌🌽❌!!!!

i'm deeply grateful for all your kind words, thank you so so much 😭

i don't mean this in a self-deprecating way, but i've never considered myself a gifted or super incredible writer, i just get hype about story ideas and try to make them as good as i can. due to that, i start sweating when people ask for advice because i don't consider myself qualified... i do have a writing advice tag, but take everything i say with a grain of salt!! if it's fanfic literally all that matters is that you enjoy whatever you're writing.

i'm more than happy to share my writing journey though!! it's kinda fun to reminiscence.

i've loved reading and writing ever since i was a little lock. while thinking about this ask, it occurred to me that what i've always been the most invested in are the characters. i'd think about 275894275 different storylines with them. i didn't start writing fanfic until i was around 11 though, everything was handwritten. or in flipnote hatena.

i did a lot of fanfic writing from 11-14 buuuut then my interest in it kinda fizzled out. it wasn't until i watched hxh for the first time that i took it up again bc chrollo is that powerful. that's when i started conceptualizing HWR. i looked at my early writing folder, the first HWR fanfic i wrote was in 2016 when i was 15 ?? here's a cursed excerpt:

anyway, once i started making googly eyes at chrollo, it was gg. i've been writing often ever since.

what's helped me the most is to focus on the elements i find interesting. for example, i like fleshing out my MCs, focusing on dialogue, and developing a universe around the main pairing. because i enjoy this so much it's (mostly) always easy to devote time and effort toward it.

so i think it comes down to finding out what niches you like and working with those. some writers prefer to write with heavy prose, others are more succinct, some writers like dialogue, others prefer to be more action based... etc etc. this does require a little time if you're completely new to writing, but you know yourself best. you'll eventually pick up on what part of the story you're most excited to write.

this isn't particularly mind-blowing or anything but i hope it helps some 😭 what completely Altered my mindset was when i realized i can be as self-indulgent as humanly possible. cringe is not in my vocabulary. write a MC where every single character is in love with them if you want. write a 100k word fic about your OC being isekaid into x world. post about your f/os, draw art of you with your fav, go ham.

[child--of-the--galaxy]

Welcome to @/child--of-the--galaxy!!

I'm Sarah (She/Her; 22), and I'll be running this blog! My personal self ship blog is @throughpatchesofviolet, but the purpose of this blog will be to create and promote content specifically for fankids and child f/os!

I've noticed there's a lack of content for those of us who have fankids and/or child f/os, and I wanted to do something to remedy that!

Ideally, this blog will be a nice blend of imagines for fankids and child f/os of all ages, from infants and toddlers through late teens--and maybe even young adults, since your kids never stop being your kids (and you'll never stop being their parent), no matter how old they get!

You're free to submit posts of your own, and I also have the inbox open, so you're welcome to gush about your fankids and child f/os, here, if you want! I might gush a bit about my own child f/os and fankids here, too, so know that it's a safe space to do so! Just please avoid mentioning any of your romantic f/os or their source by name--if they're also a parent, instead try to refer to them based on the relationship they have with your fankid/child f/o!

As far as DNI: Proship/Comship and their supporters are absolutely not welcome here--I work with children irl, and the way you behave about fictional kids is deeply uncomfortable to me. Following that, the usual DNI criterita applies--no racists, LGBTQ+ phobes, zionists, or anyone sexist. I will not hesitate to block you.

That's pretty much it!! Thanks for reading, and I'm looking forward to sharing imagines with you all!

《||-/ PINNED POST \-||》

○ Jay || 22 || They/He || Trans Masc. Enby || ♤♡ || ASD + ADHD ○

🔹️Self shipping sideblog to @jay-sketchin !! Personal sideblog is @stfu-im-thinking-abt-blorbo !! Editing blog is @chaos-husband !! This is not a fandom blog!!!

🔹 Currently very fixated on rhythm games and unfortunately Fortnite. My interests go all over the place, so don't expect more of one thing than another.

🔹 I've got a lot of F/Os!! Most are platonic and familial!! Please see my Carrd for my full list!! I don't currently have any F/Os that I'm super fixated on, I'm kinda just floating between most of them atm! But, Tohru Adachi from Persona 4 is my #1 all-time main and I am always thinking about him in some capacity lol.

🔹 My Self Insert + OC Masterlist can be found here!!

🔹️Also! Not immediately important, but I do ship both OC x Canon and Canon x Canon! Anything tagged as OC x Canon on this blog is NOT self ship unless stated otherwise. Canon x Canon won't appear very often here, but some of my AU do involve shipping more than just my S/I and OCs. If you don't want to see those pairings, I tag the all ships as "(emoji) (ship name)", minus the "-shipping" suffix of certain ship names, for ease of filtering. Currently the only self ship AUs I have Canon x Canon ships for are Ninjago (Bruise, Opposite, Samurai, +more), Total Drama (MiShawn, Scottney, Gwameron, +more), Persona (ShinjiMina/Arashu, TatsuJun, Jundori, +more), and Guilty Gear (SolJackO, KyDizzy, and RoboVenom.) All other Canon x Canon ships will be on my other blogs.

🔹 As stated before, my #1 F/O of all time is Tohru Adachi from Persona 4 and I'm super uncomfortable sharing him. Following and interacting if we share him is fine, just don't reblog my ship posts of him, and use prev or OP's posts if reblogging imagines I've tagged as him (Jester's Hunger). Everyone else is fair game!!

🔹️I LOVE talking about my AUs!! Please don't hesitate to ask about anything you're curious about or interested in!
