Imagine

you and your f/o grocery shopping on a quiet evening, playfully debating over the best snacks as you roam the aisles. They sneak your favorite treat into the cart when you’re not looking, and you catch them with a knowing smile. The trip feels more like an adventure than a chore, filled with laughter and teasing. Back at home, you unpack the groceries together, still joking and stealing glances, before diving into cooking dinner as a team. The simplest tasks become meaningful because you’re doing them together.

For Northern hemisphere fellas

The time for cuddles is upon us! Go and cuddle your f/o! Romantically, planotically, anything to keep yourself warm! And share some hot cocoa with them!

For Southern hemisphere fellas

With the season getting hotter being near your f/o is going to get difficult, but even though you may not be able to share physical affection, there are many other ways to do so! Go on walks together, watch movies, enjoying each other company in silence and many more!

Yyyyyoink!

me: aging a young F/O up is okay, and so is aging your S/I down

reddit: yes i agree

me: that's because it's fiction and fiction is not real

reddit: of course, everyone knows this

me: therefore it is okay to be attracted to an underage character because they aren't real and you aren't hurting anyone

reddit: no. wtf is wrong with you.

f/o finding your hand, squeezing it, and mumbling “…i want to grow old with you.” out of nowhere while you two lay together in bed or sit comfortably in each other’s presence without a word

Proselfshippers!! Show me your F/O and I'll give them a cupcake!!

[Status: open!]

I don't have a "Main" F/O.

I have a council of f/os who once a week have a meeting to decide who I'll be obsessed with.

[pro-ship-self-ships]

imagine exploring an abandoned building with your F/O

maybe you two explore at night, or maybe during the day. maybe it's a hospital or school or an old forgotten store of some kind. maybe it's even an old abandoned home

they stay by your side and take in all the details with you as you investigate the building

imagine the chipped and peeling paint, old fated shoe marks, broken windows, spray painted walls, left behind objects

imagine the smell of aged dust, old paint, and stagnant air

imagine the texture and feel of the warped walls, dusty items, broken down wood and stone, and your shoes walking on an unswept floor full of little broken things

maybe you two wonder about the people who were once here before you. are there traces of them? child toys left behind, or clothes left to be eaten by moths?

maybe you two go to explore for the fun of it, the simple experience of seeing something left behind, or maybe you two believe in something paranormal and want to investigate

maybe you two have fun, maybe you get too spooked and scared and have to turn back early in, but either your F/O enjoyed the time well spent with you

[pro-ship-self-ships]

imagine your F/O playful nibbling and gently chewing on you

maybe you two are play wrestling, and they sneak in a bite here and there, carefully not to hurt you

maybe they're bored and just chewing on your wrist

maybe they want to get all giggly and nibble on your neck

imagine the sensation of their teeth, the heat of their breath, and the warmth of their lips

you're your F/O's favorite glorified chew toy

[pro-ship-self-ships]

“is it okay if—“ yes. yes its okay. you can literally do whatever you want forever. how you experience your f/o and your relationship or who you f/o or anything else is entirely up to you and there is literally no reason to ask if its okay because the answer is always yes.

Imagine a reverse selfship AU!

💙 Your F/O buying a plushie of you! They have lots of different outfits they've bought or made and they take lots of pictures with it! They also pepper it with kisses every night, cuddling it close before they go to bed, hoping that they'll dream about you!

❄️ They have sketchbooks full of doodles or full on drawings of you! Their favorite scenes of you, their headcanons and lots of scenes where you're just being sweet together. They love imagining what your kisses, hugs and touch feel like!

💙 Them having their own blogs dedicated to you! Their friends love to see everything they have to say about you two and they are huge fans of your ship! They make personalized icons, banners and posts, all dedicated to you!

❄️ They love you to the moon and back and they're always hopeful that you feel the same towards them!

[pro-ship-self-ships]

Merry Christmas y'all!!

Don't forget to kiss and hug your f/os for me!!

Imagine your f/o keeping an eye out for stuff you collect or like. Do you like collecting rocks or crystals? Your f/o keeps an eye out for interesting looking rock or any crystals you haven't gotten yet or have a preference for. Do you like plushies? Your f/o is on it. They're keeping an eye out for plushies they think you'll like or you have talked about. Stickers or collectible miniatures? They're grabbing whatever they can that reminds them of you. Dolls? They have pictures of the ones you have so they don't accidentally get you a repeat unless you've talked about getting another. A book you've been wanting to add to your collection? They've already made a plan to go grab it from a store for you. Basically, just imagine your f/os supporting you and helping your collection grow. They love to see you happy, and they love to see the way your face lights up when you're given something for your collection. They adore the way you get excited about something like, they'll do their best to keep you smiling after all.

ANTIS GO AWAY, THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU.

I know it's fun to pretend that our F/Os are real, but we shouldn't let it be a source of stress. They are imaginary and do not have feelings. They cannot feel like they've been abandoned, because they're imaginary. They cannot wish that we looked different, because they're imaginary. They cannot think we're annoying, because they're imaginary. It's our imaginations, and we are the real ones with real feelings that matter. It is up to us what our F/Os think and feel. Because they are fictional. Like, obviously do whatever you want, it's up to you, I'm not your dad, but the point is that it is up to you. My F/Os think I'm adorable simply because it is my imagination and I want them to think I'm adorable.

if your f/o has wings, imagine giving them a nice massage after a long day! or shoving your face in all those fluffy feathers (。^。^。)

if your f/o has animal features, imagine rubbing behind their ears as they lay their head in your lap! or them having to hide the fact their tail's always wagging when they're around you! (/-＼*)

if your f/o is robotic, imagine them trusting you enough to let you perform maintenance on them! and the gentle whirr of their fans when they get flustered because of you (*´∀`)♪

if your f/o is an alien, imagine them wanting to learn all about humans to try and impress you! and doing their best to show they love you in a way you understand! (〃ω〃)

Do you have any advice for someone who would prefer to be OK with sharing f/os but can't help but feel really bad every time they see someone else self ships with the same (popular) character? Like I want to be able to tolerate it at least but several times I've been looking at blogs only to take. metaphorically, psychic damage upon seeing my f/o on someone else's f/o list. I'm not saying everyone has to aspire to be OK with sharing, I just want to be able to browse fandom and selfship spaces myself without being so susceptible to the mental pain that seems to come up with seeing a f/o is shared. I've mostly been able to accept canonxcanon ships with my f/os at least, but when another real human being is involved, my mood takes a dive and I don't know how to stop it. They're a popular character, so I can't expect *not* to see ships with them. I just need some way to cope that isn't just staying off the internet.

I do apologize for how late this is, but because of that, i hope you're having a happy halloween if you celebrate!

as for your concerns about being worried about other people self-shipping, let's start with a simple fact: you believe this feeling is inherently a problem. I happen to be of the opposite conviction, that which says that is not inherently a problem. On its face, its not really something that needs to be changed. If you feel absolutely uncomfortable, you have the power to block people. that is the power of the internet after all: you are not obligated to give every single person the light of day. I block like its no one's business, sometimes for seemingly arbitrary reasons.

However, if you do want to acclimate yourself to the idea of sharing an f/o, i offer two juxtaposing methods that might help: blocking and talking. Sometimes, you need to block someone for a little bit before you might be comfortable seeing their internet presence. This might be more permanent in the case where a person also doesn't like sharing as well. However, if you know the person is comfortable with sharing an f/o, feel free to reach out to them. I know talking to people can be scary, but it can be worth it. Just because someone has a relationship with your f/o doesn't mean that what you have with them isn't special. All relationships are unique in that capacity, and it can be quite wonderful. Who knows, you might also find a new friend in general fandom.

I will leave you with this final message: Your f/o cares about you and loves you and that's ultimately what matters.

imagine your vampire f/o making sure you get enough to eat, awwwe 🥺
