#selfshipping positivity
Cw: Periods (wasn’t sure if I should put a content warning or not, but just in case, I suppose)
For my selfshippers who have That Time Of The Month, or That Occassional Time Of The Month, your f/o? They keep pain medication and a hot water bottle on them, or anything else that might help, nearby, or on them. They’re very very patient and understanding, knowing that you might be in pain, or might be fatigued, and they’re more than willing to help you if you need. If your f/o also has periods, they understand the struggle, and are willing to offer advice for what helps them during their periods, if you want it.

Ykw quick shout-out to selfshippers who for any reason dislike the popular ships in whatever fandom their f/o is from. Shout-out to everyone who has to block a bunch of ship tags or who can't go into their f/o's tag without seeing some kind of ship art they dislike or feel uncomfortable with.
Your discomfort is fully valid and you know your f/os best! They adore you, no matter what the fandom says, even if there's a lot of people who say otherwise or ship them with other characters, I promise.
pro.shippers this doesn't apply to you, get out

Dear depressed/ executive dysfunction-having/ etc. selfshipper,
Your f/o wants you to shower. 
No, not because they think you're gross or smelly, but because they know you'll feel at least a little bit better once you're clean. 
They won't judge you if its been longer than you'd like to admit since you last bathed.
They won't show revulsion when they see how unkempt your nails or hair or skin has become as a result of inadvertent neglect. 
They won't shame you or think less of you for having difficulty with doing what 'should' be a basic, simple act of self-care. Your [f/o] understands that sometimes, 'easy' things can become difficult, for one or many reasons. They love you, and all they want is for you to be comfortable and healthy. A good shower will help you with both those things. 
If [f/o]s gentle encourgement isn't enough to get you to tackle the task on your own, they're glad to help as much as you need them to- they'll turn on the water to your preferred temperature, help you undress, hold your hand to keep you steady when you step over the lip of the tub, wash your hair for you, gently scrub down wherever you're comfortable with them touching, make sure all the soap is rinsed off, gently dry you off with a fresh, soft towel, and help you get dressed in clean, sensory-friendly clothes....
"... there we go, [y/n].... it was hard at first, but it wasn't so bad once you got in, right? ... Good, I'm happy to hear that... You look like you're feeling better already..." 🚿💕

Brown-skinned selfship positivity
Applicable for f/os of all types (QP, Platonic, Romantic, Familial)!
Brown skinned selfshippers of any ethnic background and any shade/hue, please think of your f/os (of any type) marveling your ability to handle the sun better than they can if applicable- maybe they like to call you sweet things like "sunbeam" or "sunflower" :>!
Also think of them being mindful to help protect your skin by helping you apply sunblock bc melanin ≠ complete protection from the sun lol

I like that the ficto and selfship community has only continued to grow since ye olde days of internet.
I remember that fictosexual wasn't even a major term, so there wasn't much of a way to look for others. Hell I remember getting dogpiled a couple times for using the term because people assumed it was attention seeking. So I couldn't use the term and find any actual results for many years.
We all just kinda stood around thinking we were the only people like this, and maybe there's something severely wrong because no one else feels this way. Hell, even when asking my therapists they thought self shipping sounded like a wonderful thing for me and coping with trauma or stress. So being unable to find others like me was so frustrating because I just wanted to know I wasn't fuckin alone in my passion for fiction.
That was like, 20 years ago, the Internet has exploded since then. And now look, the community has grown so much, selfshipping is more common enough we can actually find content on a tag filled to the brim. We can fucking TALK about self shipping and being ficto and attracted to fictional characters. Hell, just able to say I'm fictosexual feels nicer than it did years back. Is everything perfect for us? No, people can still be douches and say mean things, but we have far more folks doing their best to spread the fun things about being ficto and self shipping.
It makes me smile that I can type in ficto or selfship and be witness to the gorgeous menagerie of people loving their F/Os or folks saying their fav things about self shipping. To see people going feral over their loves and gushing about every detail. Seeing folks finding themselves and exploring their ficto feelings, seeing people create things because they love their F/Os so goddamn much. It just makes me happy to see it. Things aren't perfect, but I'm glad we're all able to find that we're not alone.
You're not alone or weird for loving fictional characters, there's plenty more of us out there and you don't have to stop when you get older. It's not just a phase for many, it's how we are and how we love and you don't have to grow out of it. I'm in my goddamn 30s and the only thing that's changed about my selfshipping is I got even more F/Os to love from the past few decades.
It's just nice to be ficto knowing others are also out their loving and selfshipping with fictional favs. <333333

Shout out to the POC selfshippers with POC f/os!
A lot of times when we talk about POC selfshippers, we always talk as if we only have white f/os.. which is very wrong..
• shout out to the POC selfshippers who f/o characters of the same race as them!
• shout out to the POC selfshippers who f/o characters of a different race!
• shout out to the POC selfshippers who f/o characters of the same race but of a different culture from their own!
• shout out to POC selfshippers who f/o other POC in general! Your f/os love you very much!

🌸 It's okay to fixate on multiple F/Os at once 🌸

I have a question for everyone, if that’s alright:
What’s something that you’re proud of in your selfships, and why?
This is an opportunity for you to talk about it as much as you would like to, whether it’s one thing or several! Please feel free to gush about your achievements ‘til your heart’s content - I’d love to hear what people’s answers are ^-^
(Anyone is welcome to reblog this post if they want to, as long as my DNI is respected!)

Vent to your f/os.
Whine. Complain. Lament. Cry. Rage. Trauma dump. Be petty and shallow and dramatic and selfish. Repeat the same tragic biographical monolog you recited to them yesterday and the day before that. Throw a tantrum like a toddler in a grocery store because you're too upset to keep it together any longer. Tell them the things you would never say out loud. Tell them exactly why, in excruciating and graphic detail, that 'little, insignificant' thing triggered you and how it's making you feel and how you feel about feeling that way. Don't shut up until it's all out in the open.
They'll be there. They'll listen. They'll never judge you or get tired of hearing it. You'll feel a little better, and they might give you some much-needed insight in the process. Vent to your f/os.

imagine your f/o celebrating your birthday with you! they're more than happy to do something special for you if you want them to! or, if you'd rather keep it lowkey, they're also happy to do that.
