MH - 🌂, My

GL - ⚜️, G

RJ - π, RJ (the pi may be in purple, depending on if I remember to do it)

Types of Content

Reblogged ask lists, and answers to those

Random shippy stuff probably

Maybe a tiny bit of NSFW? I am an adult (22), though I'm also asexual... but I also have little "AUs" where there are NSFW activities. All NSFW will be tagged as such if it is posted

Maybe some art and little bits of writing. Any art will probably be doodles, suck horribly, or be sucky doodles.

DNI

The usual list.

Other

Unlike some others, I'm not comfortable sharing F/Os. I won't be rude about it, I won't say anything (unless forced to), just... I get very very attached to people and even canon ships with my F/Os make me upset (with the recent exception of Mystrade, because that's my ship just without me)

I frequently just use abbreviations to refer to characters - initials, usually - so I may forget to change that between drafting and posting a post, just warning you. Nicknames will also probably be used very frequently in the "random shippy posts"/ship "updates" (i.e., we went to Walmart or something, lol)

I'm not really used to talking about my selfshipping as if it's actually me in the ship, since I've been writing self-insert fics forever atp and I'm used to referring to my S/I as a separate character from me, but I'm working on it.

It's a full-on polyship. We're all in love. They are annoyed by my inability to sleep rn and I'm getting at least one weird look for being on my phone at like six in the morning.

I may come up with more ship names later, and the F/O list will likely become an actual blog page, but I'm on mobile rn and I don't feel like going down to my desk to use my laptop for anything.

Introduction

Hey, I'm RJ. 22 years old, asexual biromantic, female/genderqueer, new to participating in the self-shipping community.

I've been kinda lurking around this part of Tumblr for the past 3 years, and I made this blog back then (late 2017) as well, but I've only just gotten up the nerve to even try doing something with it.

Of course, I've been self-shipping for a lot longer then that, probably upwards of 10 years with various characters (maybe even 15yrs or so, idek). I might discuss some of that on a later date, but this is just an intro for my current shipping situation.

Rather unlike a decent amount of the community that I've seen, I only have two romantic F/Os, with a couple platonic/familial ones as well. F/O#2 is a very recent addition, the thought at first being something like "maybe I could polyship?" but now he's here to stay and I have two fictional bfs/husbands.

I'm not sure what all content I'll be putting up here. I probably won't be too active either, since I'm in college - school will take priority over most anything else internet... also, I'm just a really private person in general, and really shy about this kind of thing.

So... yeah. This is just the first post, I still have to set up more stuff and get decent pictures for my profile pic and header (current header is just temporary). I'll work on that in what free time I have. I suppose I'll make an F/O list, though it'll be pretty short, and some ask lists may be reblogged so people can ask me things about my ship. Asking questions is off for rn, will open that up after my next post - the info post.

List of things to come in the next post: F/O list, types of content, DNI list (ig - those seem common, but I doubt I'll get much interaction from anyone in the first place), some other little thingies
