i've had this post rotating in my head for like five hours. SO YOU KNOW selfship uplifter post. and obviously; proship/comship/problematic shippers DNI EVER

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

shoutout to selfshippers who use literally themself! i know it may be silly to shout this out because there's either more or less "personal" selfshippers out there, but i personally don't see a lot of that. of course, i'll never hate on someone who doesn't use "literally" themselves, but i feel like ocs tend to be more popular or widespread! which is totally cool and great and i am in you guys' corner forever, but i wanna shout out people like me. because sometimes i end up feeling lonely or a little out of place or awkward because i kinda really outgrew my oc/cc phase. it gets a little awkward sometimes and i get those lingering fears of being judged or that how i choose to selfship would be looked over as opposed to an oc— again, that's not to diss anyone, it's more of a silly worry that others may be able to relate to.

shoutout to the selfshippers who it's "them" to every detail— from their personalities, to their appearance, to their preferences, to their flaws and "issues" (re: something the selfshipper struggles with). to the people who selfship using themselves because they themself want to feel special, that using themself in their most accurate form or presentation makes them feel more loved. you are always valid, and your f/o will always love you.

shoutout to selfshippers who portray themselves down to the very detail. that being hairstyle/hair-type, their appearance in terms of their body whether that is their weight and being big or small. or maybe you're a hairy femme or a smooth masc. big applause to selfshippers who get down little details like markings, how they smile, their eye/nose/lip types. much love to the selfshippers who more or less embrace "themself" in their portrayals.

shoutout to the selfshippers who selfship using themself, but it may not be super 1:1 of how they present themselves irl, and yet, it's still them! maybe it's dressing yourself in a style you can't do/have no interest in doing/can't afford to doing. maybe it's you with alternative hairstyles opposed to the one you always have irl/hairstyles you can't always do. maybe you have an alternative hair color! to selfshippers who add on body modifications despite not having them irl because of any reason despite you always wanting one. shoutout to the selfshippers who, it's more or less them, but maybe their portrayals use their different names the selfshipper themself uses. that it's basically them, just under a different name. shoutout to selfshippers who, it is them, but they're not human! maybe it's a fursona, monstersona, etc— them in a different form!

shoutout to the selfshippers who use literally themselves to cope. be it handling their trauma, disorders or disabilities, illnesses— people who want comfort for those things and implement them more personally onto this accurate presentation of themself to feel that love from their faves. that they don't use a different portrayal for these personal struggles because maybe they want to imagine their fave loving them, not some stand-in or someone else that isn't them.

shoutout to selfshippers who use literally themself because they are saddened by the idea of their fave loving someone that isn't them. that the idea of them liking someone who isn't them because of how they look/act makes them feel really upset. maybe you were cast aside for that. that selfshipping using their literal self makes you feel appreciated beyong belief. that it might actually help you grow to appreciate yourself more and maybe even get better in places where you struggle— maybe using yourself helps you get better mentally or physically of emotionally.

there may be so many other reasons, but these were the ones that came to mind. if you have another reason, you're always very valid. your f/o wouldn't love you less for being you in your most "true" state, as we'll say. they wouldn't prefer you over some heavily altered version of yourself or how people would idealize you. they wouldn't prefer if you used an oc over you. they love 1000%, and nothing will change that— as long as you're happy.

can i say something crazy… i wish there was more writing of ppls selfships. i wanna read it… i want a whole ass novel on how you met and how the story changes with you in it…. i wanna read it…………..

maybe if i imagine the character all my problems will be solved

Few things! First, the Dragon finally has a name: Bellamy BriarRose! Not only is it a bit matchy with a certain someone (you know who you are >:3) but it's also a nod to Sleeping Beauty! Specifically the imagery of the pink and blue clouds during the final dance of the 1959 film-

And secondlyyyy, while staying on the Topic of Disney: I realized I have made the perfect parent to one of my Familial F/Os- And I couldn't be happier 🥺

everyone's got that one voice actor that has them instantly fall in love with a potential f/o. which one is yours? leave them in the tags and your reasoning why!

small thing

"My everything, that's what you are." Your f/o murmurs sweetly, placing delicate kisses along your cheeks and lips. "Nobody compares to you. I'm gonna do what it takes to show you how much I love you, you hear me?" They open up, a more tender but loving tone to their voice, enveloping you in a hug. "I love you so much, can't believe I got so lucky."

Shout out to selfshippers that ship the same s/i with all of their f/os! You guys are awesome!! 💞
