#anyone else ship their f/os with other characters too-

[letsgofoletsgo]

So

I’m like. Imagining these fluff/angst scenarios with Caraway and Lavender and feeling Hella about it

But I look at it and it’s just. Funny bc other than Jay or belle, I don’t think I ship any f/o with a canon character like this, much less so enthusiastically

Don’t worry, this isn’t a vent or anything. I guess it’s just odd bc I don’t think many other selfshippers feel this way? Idk lol

[apertures-angel-archive]

idk man i think you need to consider that even though they're fictional some people's real anxieties and other mental problems including trauma responses seep into our imaginations with self shipping without our control at all and so we start thinking that we aren't good enough for a fictional character and sometimes we want to vent about this. maybe don't get all frustrated because not every single person is the same as you

I’m not a fan of pro-shipping and all things related to it since it makes me pretty uncomfy , so if you’re into that I’d rather have you block me and not interact with my profile , or the other way around . Also needless to say , but if you’re homophobic or racist in any way you definitely aren’t welcome here .

I get incredibly anxious when receiving private messages without warning , so please just ask me beforehand weather or not I’m down to chat either in my inbox or my blogs , or just say something other than just “hi” in the message ! Overall , private messages as a whole just make me a bit nervous , I prefer not using them unless it’s absolutely necessary ( plus I almost never check them , so I’m not the best at keeping the conversation interesting … I’m the most awkward human on the planet when it comes to that stuff .-. )

I can find myself too busy to hang here at times , so if it takes me a while to respond it’s definitely not because I have something against you in any way : this isn’t an excuse , but I do also suffer from adhd , so it’s possible for me to forget about some stuff while struggling to focus on everything else … yeah ;C;

Some of my posts may include occasional swearing sometimes : I keep it to a minimum , but I thought it would be good to bring this up in case anyone is uncomfortable with it .

If by chance I ever happen to draw something mildly suggestive ( I’m never going to do anything fully NSFW tho !! ) , I’ll always be sure to put a warning at the start of the blog 👍

( also this profile’s theme might change from time to time based on which character I’m currently obsessing over ://] ❤️ )

[proton-selfships]

So I just read this great post by @kittyandco and it struck a really, really deep chord with me as someone who was also in the selfship community in ye olden days (as in, pre-pandemic olden days).

Now, don't get me wrong, those days weren't perfect either. I still experienced hostility for little reason, and it still hurts me to think about and affects my ability to trust people to this day. And I sure as hell wasn't the only one, or the one who had it the worst. But that lack of good faith that used to be the exception really does feel like the norm now, and it makes interacting way more stressful than it ever was back then. You're expected to read novella-length DNIs and can't interact with or follow anyone without fearing that you missed one of your fandoms on their DNI list and will get shit for it.

(And those pages are often confusing to navigate and use hard-to-read colors, to boot. Seriously, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines should be mandatory reading for anyone making a Carrd or Rentry account)

And that's not even to mention the fear of what you say to someone in a private conversation getting twisted and shared and vagueposted about without your permission. That's something I've witnessed happen to multiple friends of mine. Again, isolated incidents back then, way more common than it should be now.

Meanwhile, *old woman voice* back in my day... What I always think back to was the really popular ask game that would go around, where you could ask whoever reblogged it to come up with headcanons for your F/Os. And people were sending each other asks left and right! People were excited to look up F/Os they'd never heard of to come up with a little pick-me-up for the person in their ask box! And I remember them being a blast to read and write!

Nowadays? If your F/Os are from sources that's not in the media zeitgeist or another limited set of perennial sources people will generally know enough to engage with... Good luck getting anyone to talk to you. (And that definitely goes double for anyone who ships with characters who aren't white men or isn't white themselves, that's a whole other issue that I've definitely experienced as a lesbian.)

I think it's both the growing atmosphere of hostility and social media in general's growing focus on "making content" and "branding" that keeps people from reaching out to each other unless they ship the same kinds of things they do. It's not really a community anymore. And that sucks, because that's a problem that's infected selfship spaces from the social media landscape as a whole

But I think we could still make the choice to see each other as people. Because, at the end of the day, selfshippers don't really have anywhere else to go. We're all just a bunch of people who carry love for characters in our hearts. Shouldn't we be willing to extend that love to each other, too?

(Obviously, this comes with caveats. I don't know if this is just me and my friends, but it also feels like we're all just too tired nowadays to reach out or meaningfully engage with other shippers' work. I'm definitely guilty of going MIA for long periods for that reason, so I'm not going to act like the lack of interaction with my blog specifically isn't my fault there. But in my experience I've seen a lot of that exhaustion come from this, from the walking on eggshells and the lack of reciprocity of the energy you put in, so it all still applies)

[daily-selfship-questions]

Is it okay to consider your f/o your irl partner? My f/o means so much to me and I really mean it whenever I call him my husband. Is that weird?

No, I certainly don't think that's weird at all, personally! Some people can get very attached to their F/Os, you've probably heard the "Your brains emotional department can't tell the difference between fictional and real, so when you love something, regaurdless of if it's fictional or not it's just as strong" tangent.

But like I said, some people get really close to their F/Os, and so it can be a very real thing for them and a very personal thing, too!! Some people don't want real life romantic partners and just want to pursue their F/Os and that's entirely okay as well. Truthfully I tend to feel the same way about my F/Os, and I'll speak of them as if they're real(ex. "Me and F/O did this today" or "F/O and I blah blah blah"). Some people get uncomfortable when seeing shipart or such of their F/O and makes them feel sick cause it feels like they're seeing their partner with someone else or such.

Get as close as you'd like, consider them a full fledged partner if you wish! My rule of thumb for life is if it's not hurting anyone, then why care? I don't see any harm in this. Get as close and personal as you'd like with your F/O. I'm sure everyone's been told the story of that man that married Hatsune Miku, so really go crazy.

I tried to keep this short, since truthfully I tend to yap a lot and I have a lot I could say here😅

I'd say the only cause of concern would be if you start filling out your tax forms or something with their names on it. But go crazy. Live your life, have fun, kiss your F/O when they go to bed and when they wake up, put their pictures in your wallet and frame their photos on your desk and in your lockets.

I mean, that's what selfshipping is, no? Shipping you with them, F/O stands for Fictional Other, it's right there in the name. They're your significant other(excluding the times where F/O encompasses platonic/familial ones of course). Many people ship characters and talk about how it's sooooo canonical cause did you see how they looked at each other in that one frame?? This is just you shipping yourself with an F/O, same thing. As far as I know and as I've been informed, I don't see a problem here with it.

I mean, that's what selfshipping is! You're just describing a very passionate version of selfshipping! But as I mentioned in the tags, I don't know how universal of a feeling this is, but I'm sure some feel the same

[revvywevvy]

Hey so... important thingy real quick pertaining to sharing f/os.

I get it- sharing f/os can be hard for some folks. Whether you get self conscious, jealous, nervous abt it, etc etc. I totally understand- I can open up here and admit that I get really self conscious and a little nervous when I see people who ship with the f/os I am uncomfortable sharing or have selective sharing with. However, that's a normal thing to feel, and you shouldn't feel bad about it at all! It's okay to be sad, or anxious, or jealous, or anything else along those lines. That's why we block and move on, and try not to let those negative feelings hurt us too heavily.

That being said, when it becomes NOT okay, is when you're posting on any of your blogs about wanting people who ship with your f/os dead. Or posting about wanting to cause bodily harm to other self-shippers. Oooor posting about said f/o harming other shippers. Or anything under that umbrella.

Seriously. I feel like it's already pretty obvious that you should never do that in the first place, but those who don't care and want to actively participate in said behavior should just stay in their own damn circle- away from the people who aren't harming anyone; who are just shipping and minding their own business.

We absolutely do not need those kinds of people running around and literally wishing death on folks, whether they think they're being sneaky about it or not. Nobody deserves to die for the 'crime' of loving the same character as someone else.

[companionwolf]

Hello all! I've consolidated the responses so far to my call for 'core selfship / ficto experiences' in relation to my 'having a f/o' solo journaling ttrpg project-- I want to let you all see what's been offered so far and also explain a bit more about what a solo journaling ttrpg is! (:

That explanation and the ideas offered below the cut, because otherwise this is a long post. For anyone this post breaks on, please forgive me.

To start, what's a ttrpg? It's short of table top role-playing game, sometimes called a physical game. If you've ever heard of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), you know what a table top game is!

For those who haven't, table top games are basically like if you took playing pretend and gave it some rules-- or didn't. The world of TTRPG games is vast and encompasses a wide range of games from super crunchy structured rules with Lots of dice and math to games that are less than one page and super loose and free-form-- some don't even use dice!

The difference here is that most people think you need a group to play tabletop games. And if that's the experience you want, that's true. However, clever gamers have made rules and ways to play games by themselves! Some people emulate the person who runs the game using a generator, while others do games more guided by prompts. This latter one is what I'm doing-- it's called a journaling game.

Journaling games have a basic core of the idea that you / your character journals their experiences as they play (or after, if you don't want to interrupt your flow). Usually the main mechanic is generating prompts off a list using dice or card pulls, but some of these games also include mechanics like ticking boxes off, gathering resources, and making choices.

I'm still trying to figure out what mechanics I want in my game. Obviously there will prompts, but everything else I'm workshopping-- right now I've been gathering data, in the form of looking at other solo games for how they handle their gameplay. Sadly none of the things I've looked at quite fit what I want, but they're useful enough that I've began a design document.

In terms of themes - I want to touch on longing, distance, intimacy (not essentially romantic), and self love/etc. I'm also toying with the concept of a eventual expansion that allows you to play as your F/O, but I need a base game first, so that's just an idea right now.

Anyway, here's what folks have suggested as ideas so far --

- longing yearning etc

- knowing there will never be physicality / hearing their voice / etc

- loving someone you cannot touch/etc

- the self love aspect

- imagines, headcanons, etc

- interacting with f/os source

- community or lack of

- dealing with feeling shame/etc or being picked on/etc for selfshipping

- dealing with jealously/difficulty 'sharing'

- aking things related to your f/o (example: wedding albums)

- easy source eod joy and comfort

- knowing songs and art f/o would like

- finding things that are stressful LESS so because talking about it with f/o would help

- the cute guilty pride of 'I like this character' 'me too I actually self ship with them'

- having a friend who understands when no one else is around (even if they are from media)

- daydreaming

- trying to get yourself to dream about them

- always knowing exactly what to commission someone for

- spending money on f/o related things (merch, other items that remind you of them, comms)

- selfship when the relationship is something you'd never want irl

- using selfship to figure out what you want (in a relationship for example)

- social aspect (assumptions people make, the selfship community)

- dreams about your f/o

- f/os helping against self negativity

- feeling like they're present in your life (and or imagning them with you)

- feeling insecure (bc you can't get confirmation f/o returns/would return feelings)

- freedom of headcanon and making S/Is

- becoming in a way part of another world

- never lacking someone to talk to

- the painful remembrance that f/o is not real and cannot really do X for you (X = have your back, for example)

- self generated serotonin

- becoming familiar with the shape of their face

- getting your daydreaming muscles back up to strength

- analyzing songs through a new lens

- feeling both love and loneliness in the community

- writing letters to your f/o (maybe even writing some 'back' from them?")

- buying clothes to say you stole from them

- feeling your f/o loves you no matter what and will be there for you always

- gaining comfort from your f/o on bad days

- being able to tell f/o anything, from interests others may find weird to traumas and beyond

- f/o helping you overcome anxiety and boosting self esteem

- creating because of your f/o (art writing etc)

- re above: selfship as a creative outlet

- the interplay of selfship and kin

- relating something mundane to your f/o and thus it becomes special

- using your f/o to motivate yourself ('f/o would want me to take care of myself')

- self made f/os aka OC f/os rather than media ones

- seeing your f/o get bashed or misinterpred

- fear of ridicule

- daydreaming but it becomes problematic (ie it interrupts getting important tasks done etc)

[sapphire-heart-tippy]

nothing pisses me off more than when selfshippers ship with villain characters and rude people are like "uh AchTUALLY in canon he is a remorseless evil who is incapable of love and he will never love your OC/insert"

maybe in *your* universe, mr killjoy. in my universe he loves my OC dearly and will beat up anyone who talks shit about her and they are happily married with two kids 😚😊

I'm sorry, my mind is kindof fuzz right now. I'm not sure if you're mad at me or somebody else and and are just venting about it...

(I came back to this after half an hour and I think I understand now!! Sorry, I get bad brain fog every now and then because migraines x_x I apologize, I thought you were accusing me of something then said something at the end that kind of made me feel anxious, but in reality you didn't say what I thought you said!) Yeah, people do that to me sometimes too x_x why can't others just mind their own business

Villain f/os are awesome, and they'd protect you no matter what!

Hey, I'm also married to my villain f/o (Vanilla/Cool Ice) and we have a boyfriend (Bel) and a son! Vans is definitely very protective

Whoever your villain f/o is, he seems very protective of you and your kiddos too!

[the-bar-sinister]

Hi Sinister. I hope you all don’t mind a vent.

I’ve been worried about posting about my F/Os because I see posts that people say that they hate when a character is mischaracterized by the fandom. I feel like I’d be doing a disservice to those people if I post stuff about my relationship with my F/Os of a certain fandom. (No specifics, sorry.) People in that fandom seem very protective of the characters being in character all the time. (Which isn’t wrong or anything, it just makes me feel very nervous about posting when it comes to the way I enjoy the characters.) I saw a post about someone ranting about how people that flanderize the characters of this specific fandom should just move to other fandoms that are more lighthearted, because there’s plenty of those out there.

Compared to other fandoms I’m in, this one is just really divisive for me because I’m definitely flanderizing the characters in my writing. I have strong feelings for the characters but the way that I write them is more opposite to their canon personalities. (Not totally opposite, but the characters are less violent.) Have any of you had a similar experience, or any tips on how to move past this? Idk how to not take those kind of posts about people not liking the characters being ooc too seriously. 🙁

Hey friend. I'm sorry you're feeling so rough about this. I can definitely understand the source of your discomfort -- it's never fun to feel like you're doing something that other people are vocally complaining about.

But I do think that you're taking it too seriously, and I don't mean that in a way to belittle you or make light of your feelings. But I remind you that we are our own harshest critics.

Please remember that fandom is supposed to be for fun first and everything else second. And that means fun for you.

Characters don't belong to anyone in fandom. They're like dolls for you to play with.

And you are allowed to play with the doll however you want to, even if other people say how you are playing is "wrong".

There is no one true correct interpretation any media or character. Your interpretation is as valid as anyone else's.

Anyone who doesn't like seeing your posts about the character is perfectly capable of scrolling away from your posts, filtering your tags, of blocking you.

They can say "he would not say that" all they like, but you can keep writing whatever you like.

You do not owe anyone "in character" interpretations, fic or headcanons.

Your shipping is for you, and you don't need to change it for anybody.

If you really want to show you're being an extra good sport about it, feel free to specify that your version of the character is an AU version. You can even given them a designation like nice!character or my version!character and tag them that way!

Sending good vibes your way, and keep shipping! 💖

[beskar33]

Nobody yell @ me, promise I won't talk about this stuff after this. Just have some thots...

I've been on both sides of the selfship vs ficto relationship fence and there is a marked difference in the way I felt seeing someone share a major comfort character and the feeling of seeing someone else with my partner of over half a decade. Neither was more valid discomfort than the other, nor was it easy to deal with either way, but it's just not the same.

I block & move on, I'm too old for pointless dramatics, but I wish more people in this little corner of the web could step into someone else's shoes for a minute & understand how shitty it feels to see others saying things like "get over it/pick another character who's similar/they're not even real".

To some of us, our relationships are on the same level as an IRL relationship. Whether my husband was a "real" person or not, I would have fallen in love with him the same way. Call me crazy if that's how you feel, but he is as real to me as anyone else. I can feel him, speak with him (in our own way). I've never been able to do that with any other F/O.

When I say he's special to me, I mean I've had almost supernatural experiences that I generally don't talk about because it's personal and took me a long time to accept. Truly, I thought I was going insane before I worked through this tangle of emotion and figured out that there were others who felt the same for their partners.

Out of the many F/Os I've had throughout my life, he's the only one who I've turned down IRL people for. I feel an inexplicable connection with him that I've never felt for anyone else, and don't think I ever will again. It doesn't mean that I think I should be the only one who loves him, but there's a reason I'm not comfortable sharing or even seeing people who ship with him, and it's not because I'm a gatekeeper or insecure or whatever.

I know I'm in the minority in this community, but sometimes it hurts getting your very real feelings + a facet of your attraction/identity being ignored, especially since it's kind of a hard thing to come to terms with. To tell the people closest to me was a huge deal because I spent so, so long thinking I was crazy for how intensely I feel for him.

I'm very neurodivergent and grey-aromantic; I don't fall in love often or easily, nor do I trust easily. Finding someone who I want to spend the rest of my life with was a deep spiritual experience for me that can never be replicated. He is irreplaceable to me, and the universe is a lot stranger than I once thought before we met.

My relationships IRL will never be typical. My relationship with fiction has never been typical, and this particular relationship is something that's made me question everything I thought I knew.

Just fucking sucks being seen as a weirdo or sensitive for something I can't change, as much as I wish I could sometimes. It just goes a little deeper than shipping yourself with a character you like for some of us.

Y'know what I mean?

[echoes-lighthouse]

🧪 + 🌌 + 2, 3, 8 and 14 for the ask game? if that’s too many questions, you can just pick the ones you like best for those characters, sorry

NEVER too many questions! Thank you anon!

Here's the ask game: I'm answering them for my slasher kiddos and some ~secret f/os~ if anyone wants to send more in!!!!

2. Were there any traits or things about your F/O that you didn’t know about until after you got together?

🧪 answered here.

The only thing I knew about 🌌 was his reputation, we 'got together' pretty quickly, so most of our learning period was afterwards. I definitely didn't know he would be interested in me!

3. Have you influenced each other’s hobbies/interests? Do you feel you’ve “rubbed off” on each other’s personalities?

🧪 answered here again!

I think that's not quite the relationship that 🌌 and I have. We already came together with a number of shared interests, and we definitely enjoy them together, but we're both proper into adulthood and we just don't have as much changing to do as some of my other ships who met in their early 20s!

8. What would the ideal future with your F/O look like?

🧪: Cabin on the edge of the woods, full of science equipment, with a nice garden. Both of us have friends and hers come over sometimes for games and we both panic about cleaning. Mine don't like humans so they don't visit the cabin but I spend time with them in the forest and we get lots of cuddles.

🌌: Okay, I actually do know, but it's a weird one. I think that in the future, he'll get more stable in his other relationships and we'll cool off into more casual friends. But I think I'm going to keep being a cool aunt for his daughter and when she's older, we'll probably have a good connection.

14. Does your F/O show you a side of themselves that nobody else gets to see?

I think that for both of these selfships, my f/os have close relationships with other people that rival my own connection with them. So I don't have an 'exclusive' view on either of them. For 🧪, she has some very close friendships that define part of her life. For 🌌, he has other romantic partners who have dynamics that both do and do not mirror our own. Our connection definitely is special in both cases, but not singular.

[candyheartedchy]

If it's asking advice o'clock I have a... dilemma of sorts. So; Crushing on a character, literally nothing new in that department, however there is a small sinking suspicion. Said character is a part of a group, and I am a completionist. I love matching sets. What I'm saying is I feel like I'm going to fall for the whole group. This isn't just a group of like, the character and 2 other people. It's a group of 5. And I'm ever so afraid that this character is the gateway to having the most oversized polycule. And normally this wouldn't be too much of an issue, but I feel almost self-conscious because the fandom surrounding this particular group is small. So I'll be annoying in the character tags. Not that I'm not already with my self insert practices, I wear that like a badge. But I guess this is more because I feel like I have too many f/os as is and the list is long and tedious and I feel like I'm being a little weirdo for having so many characters. Whichclike, I wouldn't judge anyone else for doing this, just myself I guess. I don't know. My main question is, do I bite the bullet and let the feelings marinate until it eventually sucks in the whole polycule or do I just act normal about these characters instead lol?

I would say let’s the feelings marinate for a bit, like there was a character I was thinking about adding to my one ship to make a poly and thought about it for awhile until I realized it was more of an innocent crush while my feeling for the other character was still very strong, and I personally am still a bit new to having poly self ships (anyone who’s more experienced in poly self ships can jump in on this post and add some of their own advice if you want) so I’m not sure if I’m the best person on this topic. BUT there’s nothing wrong with f/o’ing more than one character from the same franchise. I mean there’s always that wonderful rush of having new f/o(s)! So you can either jump in or wait, it really on how you feel.

Also if the fandom is small and you’re worried about annoying people who uses the character tags, you could always make your own special tags for the characters or group!

[jennajaeger]

My general feelings on my F/Os' canon love interests and how I picture my dynamic with each of them:

Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid):

Eric is MY GUY. BESTIE. HIMBO EXTRAORDINAIRE. We high five each other as we pass each other in the hallway because we both have the best wife in the world. Literally the epitome of this meme:

Me: "The stars are so beautiful tonight."

Eric: "You know who else is beautiful?"

Both of us in unison: *sighing dreamily* "Ariel~"

Keyleth (Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina):

So admittedly I have not finished the series yet but as far as I can tell, Vax and Keyleth have a very "right person, wrong time" type of relationship? Like, I get it, they're always gonna love each other, they're just never going to be in a place where they can BE together? And I mean......that works for me :P I feel marginally bad about stealing her man because she's so sweet and deserves a break, precious bean, but if it works it works <3

Meryl Stryfe & Milly Thompson (Trigun Stampede):

I felt so bad the moment I started watching the show because I was like "oh god another female character I'm gonna have to throw under the bus in the name of self shipping" but honestly so far in the 23 version I read their dynamic as platonic?? And just in general, I love her <3 She's a tough little cookie; and I haven't properly met Milly yet but I just know I'm gonna love her :P girl frankly you deserve to have Nick maybe you'll mellow him out a little good heavens XD

Helen Wick (John Wick franchise):

I will always have a moment to pay homage to our lord and savior Helen Wick who died to give us the best action franchise of the modern age, girl you were a real one and rest easy knowing I am going to RIDE THE TRAUMA OUT OF YOUR HUSBAND

Tess Marshall (Barbarian):

SHE DESERVES S O MUCH BETTER OH MY GOD I mean they both do, they're stuck in this terrible movie :P In a better world I would love to be friends with Tess, and act as Keith's filter because good lord boy you're cute but you're dumb as fuck sometimes XD Also if I ever see Keith's ex-gf I'm throwing hands

Alt Cunningham & Rogue (Cyberpunk 2077):

god I'm glad these two are Johnny's exes XD I'm sure I would have liked Alt a lot more had I known her when she was, y'know, alive, but as a......tech ghost or whatever, she's not a lot of fun :P As for Rogue, she's a bitch, I KNOW she's a bitch, and I respect her for it. She DID stab Johnny in the back though and I'm not about to let her forget it.

Alys Rivers & Helaena Targaryen (House of the Dragon):

I haven't properly met Alys yet but I'm looking forward to it, I feel like I'm gonna like her :P And Helaena is A SWEETHEART, an absolute darling, I would love to sit with her and have tea while she does her embroidery and listen to her talk about anything that comes into her pretty little head because THE GODS KNOW SOMEONE HAS TO. I will also be her "dump your shitty husband" friend so fast XD Like, LOOK AT AEMOND. LOOK AT HIM. HE'S RIGHT THERE GIRL I WILL SHARE.

Anyone Dream has ever been romantically involved with and yes I'm including Hob Gadling (The Sandman):

I have nothing but love and respect for Dream's past partners (Calliope babe I'd die for you) and I just love the idea that we have like, dinner together and they all just spill the tea about the shit Dream got up to in past decades :P

Vision (Marvel Cinematic Universe):

I have no problems with Viz, he was a good man. Wanda really could have done BETTER in my opinion, but y'know, she could have done a lot worse too, so :P And thanks to Viz we have the boys, Billy and Tommy <3

Martin Blackwood (The Magnus Archives):

I don't hate Martin. He's a sweetheart. But I need him to not even BREATHE in Jon's direction, because that is MY MAN. Nothing personal :P

Mikasa Akerman (Attack On Titan):

I will meet that bitch in the FUCKING PIT IT IS ON S I G H T LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!!

📝 🧾 🎇 ♨️ and 🔒!!! -@hearts-and-stars

@hearts-and-stars thank u! 💚💜💚💜

🧾 What’s your favorite headcanon someone else has made about your F/O?

becoming a Nobody affects ur magic. Axel got a major power spike in fire magic, he can control fire with a level of precision that no one else can match, BUT he can't use any other kind of magic at all. no cures, no thunder, nothing. this is still the case after he's recompleted and is Lea again

🎇 Which is the most CURSED crack selfship you’ve thought of?

oh god

space/good mental health

bruh i rly don't know here. not rly a crack ship person bc i make too much lore and now it's not crack anymore

♨️Did your platonic F/Os tease you about your feelings for your romantic F/O?

see, the issue here is that my kh friends knew Lea before me. I'm a background character and he's an antagonist/weird ally. the reverse is very true though. lea gets teased about having a type bc I'm like a friendlier isa

🔒 What does your platonic F/O think about your F/O? Are they overprotective of you?

they're overprotective of both of us bc we pretty much share a friend group. sea salt fam started more overprotective of lea bc they knew him longer but it doesn't really take long for me to get adopted in. granted it's a little weird having kids 24 10 years younger than you be overprotective but also those kids could fight gods and win so u just accept it. life is already so goddamn weird

📝 Give us a piece of a WIP involving your F/O (writing, art, etc.)

under the cut so this doesnt get super long

partial nudity warning and also top surgery scars if that bothers anyone

rip this wip from february that i was rly excited about and then burned out on

There's not and has never been such a thing as "taking shipping/self-shipping too seriously". How one person selfships and treat fictional characters will always be different (or hell, even similar) to others and should be their own damn business.

Treating fictional relationships with as much realness as one with an actual person is something I'm very familiar with and has been degraded for multiple times. I treat my F/Os like they're their own real thing in my head but because that sort of connection is so fragile nowadays due to that former thing it's hard to really stick to one for a long time now. (My longest F/O was only 3 years before people decided to be assholes about that one) But it isn't a bad thing to treat characters like that, especially if real people have hurt you for such a long time that you decided to find comfort in the non-real. I felt bad about it until I saw that my long-time selfshipper friend follows someone that did the same thing as me, and I found out through that that there are other people that selfship with just as much intensity as I do, living with their F/Os, having a good life with them despite the odds, dating them, getting married, staying with them for years and maybe even a decade.. I've wanted to be that and COULD been that. I just wish it could just happen already and I wish that I could not have my own mental fibers regarding this snapped every time. And yes, that even includes being jealous or uncomfortable with shit, That is not weird, nor should that be treated like a damn dirty word ffs.

They are not delusional for that or anything (plus calling people such unless they actually have delusions is ablest af). Nor do said self-shippers need a reason to be pushed to interacting and befriending/dating real people (that might not even like us in the long-term) or even getting along with them if that hasn't worked out before. Not saying to be a misanthrope (idk you do you, I'm not gonna come at you if you are or not anyways), even if I'm on the verge of that, but still, it helps to be wary. When real people can't be there for us at least they (the fictional characters) can. Not everyone is as serious or intense about selfshipping to want to do all of those things and more with fictional characters, and that's literally okay, seriously it is! But don't talk down to people that are more intense in that regard.

Taking a hobby/coping mechanism/means of happiness/way of life for some and saying they need to "not be so srs" about it is not anyone else's business but your own self to decide that. It never was anyone else's business, and that needs to be respected too because we're still people by the end of the day.

Anyway dumb rambling over.

People that are rude/assholish to selfshippers just because they do things in a way you don't like please DNI hhh

Intro post, please read before following :)

About me

General:

First of all, this is intended as an nsfw blog, so it is for adult audiences only. For the sake of both your and my safety, please respect that and only follow/interact if you're 18 or older.

I'm female and mainly use she/her pronouns, but I'm also fine with they/them. I'm legally an adult, my age is in my blog header.

I'm a self shipper, as it is a way of selfcare/selflove for my and brings me a lot of comfort and happiness. I generally feel comfortable with sharing f/os, especially the ones I'm not focused at that much at the moment (but my mains as well). Feel free to interact so we can gush about them together^^ [Just a heads-up though, I might not interact back with people that have headcanons that heavily contradict with mine or make me somehow uncomfortable.]

I'm on the asexual spectrum, but I enjoy nsfw content (mainly writing, sometimes art) in fiction to some extent, and I am able to feel attraction to some of my fictional others. Sometimes I still feel insecure about my identity, but I'm on the way to getting more comfortable with it, and I hope that this blog might also help me a little :)

~~~

This blog:

First of all, this is a side blog, so I won't be able to follow anyone from here. My main is @lieutenantselnia.

I already post/reblog sfw self ship stuff and anything else on my main, so this here will be pretty much adult content only. Therefore I might also be using this blog less frequently.

I'll probably be reblogging mainly nsfw self ship imagines and x readers, maybe sometimes also art. If I'm brave enough, I might also post some writing myself.

~~~

Tagging system:

I don't know yet if I'll be implementing a proper tagging system, since I might not post much anyway and only occasionally reblog imagines and such. I'm also not sure if I'll be tagging things with "nsfw", since this would be basically ... everything on here.

However I have tags for my main f/os, they are the same as on my main, but I might be using them more here (since I'll probably be too embarrassed to use their names😅).

~~~

Main F/Os:

Heinz Doofenshmirtz (2nd Dimension) [Phineas and Ferb] | Tag: f/o: 🚂

Hector Barbossa [Pirates of the Caribbean] | Tag: f/o: 🏴‍☠️

Davy Jones [Pirates of the Caribbean] | Tag: f/o: 🐙

The Horned King [The Black Cauldron] | Tag: f/o: 💀

DNI:

Basic things that you find in pretty much everyone’s DNI criteria like racists, neonazis, LGBTQ-phobes, pedophiles etc., I think you know the drill. If you are any of these or otherwise a problematic and gross person please stay away. Basically just don’t be an asshole or be unnecessarily hateful/harmful towards people who just want to exist in peace. (Also I’m not too familiar with the whole “pro-shipping” debate or what the exact definition of it is, but I’d rather not interact with adults who ship with children characters, or people who glorify/romanticise problematic topics like pedophilia, incest, abuse etc.)

Other than that I don’t really have any specific criteria, but if you’re hateful against selfshipping or shame people for having “cringe” interests, this might not be a place for you either.

I may edit this post in the future in case I feel like there needs something to be changed.
