#self shipping rant

[eboni-napalm]

(this didn't happen to me recently but it did to someone I know in a self-ship Discord server I'm in so I'm making a post on this because it needs to be said AGAIN.) - (long rant incoming, tw for mention of s*****e)

Hey, self-shippers- yes, ALL OF YOU, because we ALL need to crack down on this and do better- there's probably quite a few of us, if not a lot of us, that don't like sharing some of our F/O's, and that's okay.

However, what's NOT FUCKING OKAY is GOING INTO THE INBOX OR DM'S OF A USER WHO SHARES AN F/O WITH YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE SHARING AND CALLING THEM NAMES/SLURS, TELLING THEM THEY'LL NEVER LOVE THAT PERSON, AND/OR THEN SAYING THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY KILL THEMSELVES. What in the actual FUCK is wrong with you? I don't care if you're a minor or an adult in the community, that shit is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.

We as a whole need to do better about cracking down on this kind of behavior, for real. Self-shipping is a place where people should be able to feel welcome and able to ship themselves with characters they love without having to feel like they have to walk on eggshells just so they don't incur the wrath of others who think it's okay to treat others like this. This shouldn't be what people imagine when they think of self-shippers, but a few bad apples will bring our image down and make it to where no one wants to even joke about interacting with us.

To those self-shippers who are not okay or comfortable sharing your F/O's in whatever way- if you come across someone who shares one of those characters with you, instead of pulling shit like that (especially on anon, you spineless cowards), either just block the person without saying anything if you don't interact or have never interacted with them, or if it's someone you know/are on good terms with, kindly inform them not to talk about that F/O in personal interactions or have them tag posts with a certain tag so you can block that tag and hide them from your view so you don't have to see them. There's ways around everything here that avoids being an asshole to people and they're not that difficult to do.

I want to be proud to be part of this community as someone who's in it, not ashamed of it because of instances like this; even if they don't happen very often, they still happen, and they shouldn't. We can do better, we can be better.

Spread love, not hate. Please. ❤️

being a self shipper uncomfortable with doubles/sharing fucking sucks. people are so fucking nasty and for what

people in the self ship community that are okay with doubles 9 times out of 10 make you feel bad for not being okay with it

and people outside of the community look at you like youre a freak and they try to shit out "ohh gatekeeping gatekeeping"

like many people dont understand why some self shippers dont like sharing nor do they take the time to understand.

many self shippers dont just self ship with a character bcus "oh attractive ooh theyre my type" but because they have a deep personal and spiritual bond with said character, that character brings them a wave of comfort, safety, and serenity better that anything in reality can. seeing someone else love up on them and be like "omg i feel the same" when you gush about them literally feels like someone saying that about your ACTUAL partner. and it hurts so fucking much.

non sharing self shippers arent trying to gatekeep a character, they arent trying to stop others from enjoying/self shipping with them, they just want people to refrain from doing it around them.

like dude im not some twisted childish bitch im just trying to avoid distress and a complete breakdown. thx.

The way I completely lose all interest in Lawlight as a ship if Light isn't Kira. And frankly, I feel like L would agree with me on this one. I don't think he'd gaf abt Light in the slightest if Light wasn't Mr. Serial Killer.

#Lawlight only works if Light is Kira bc otherwise light is just some rly smart pretentious teenager. #Like you're telling me L a 24 y/o self made multi-millionaire and the world's greatest detective (top 3 if you count the aliases)- #would care in the slightest abt mr “i got a perfect score on my college entrance exam”. Be fr!! #Idk the ship loses everything that makes it fun and appealing to me if you remove Kira from the mix #Ik ppl do “Light isn't Kira” AUs to make the ship more wholesome but i'd argue it just becomes problematic in a diff way. #L is not only way older but also extremely rich and successful. If Light is innocent but still a suspect- L also has immense power over him #Ig i don't see the point of trying to make Lawlight wholesome. It's still problematic but without the goofy homoerotic enemyship. #Light being Kira not only makes them equals but gives them spice! #However I DO get the appeal of “Light isn't Kira” AUs where Light is still a fake asshole who's performatively nice but hides his real feel #But removing his misogynistic swag/superiority complex/his bitchy internal monologues to make him normal? No... #Imo even if he isn't Kira he'd still be a weirdo. The only Yotsuba!Light is so normal/nice is bc he's trying to prove to everyone- #but most importantly himself- that he's a good person incapable of being Kira. He's trying to be the best version of himself. #Pre-Death Note Light for example is never as outstanding and good as Yotsuba!Light for this reason. Yotsuba!Light is the exception. #Like the Death Note doesn't make you pretentious or hate women that was all Light Yagami. #this is such a random rant sorry guys XD again more power to ppl who enjoy this AU or normalguy!Light but I don't get it personally 😔 #death note #light yagami #l lawliet #lawlight #💬 katposts #🤪 sillygoofy

I hate people who advocate for Ship And Let Ship but can't fucking take a hint about selfshipping.

No, your ship being between two characters in the show is not any less valid because I ship an OC with either of them. Also, why the fuck are you offended like you caught one of your blorbos cheating on another? It's not fucking real, dude, chill.

No, your headcanon that X and Y are gay and in love is not any more canonical than my stupid selfship. A.k.a: They ain't fucking canon either, bestie, shut the hell up, it's in your head, like my OC/Canon ship you oversized button hole.

Also what is this highschool girl attitude of seeing an OC and, because you decide you don't like them, you start acting like a jealous mean girl? "Lol, who is this rando?", "lol, her hair is so ugly", "who the fuck designed this, lol? Looks horrible".

I don’t think ppl give enough credit to rui for his dedication to fucking with people (outside of tsukasa of course) like. Knowing & acknowledging that nene wants nothing to do with him and Tsukasa on her first day of second year and deliberately following tsukasa to loudly ask if she’s getting along with people (just to be a jackass)? Implying his gift to akito will explode even though it won’t bc he wants to bug akito? Like I think rui at his core is full of love and a desire to make ppl smile but I also think he’s 200% committed to the bit first and foremost. If something will be funny he’s going to do it regardless of the consequences. Guy filled with zero social anxiety & a never ending desire to embarrass his friends.

#‘he’s insecure’ is very fanon. like I think he has hang ups over that obviously as one does when one is excluded from their peers for being #odd. but he’s never had that issue w the general public. w friends? a little. but he’s kinda moved past that #gestures towards the Halloween wxs story and (heavy sigh) rmd. #project sekai #in general I will die on the hill of rui and Tsukasa having so much more self assurance and confidence than ppl give them credit for #if u want a fail girl nene is right there. open ur eyes. #consequences of ppl only viewing him thru a shipping lense… #*nene* is socially anxious #rui canonically trespassed on ppls property to put on solo shows for several years. #i could go on a rant abt tsukasa & the portrayal of him w social anxiety despite the ample evidence against it but I don’t feel like doing #it in the tags bc it is entirely unrelated. rui and Tsukasa (handshake emoji) horrifically misrepresented by fanon. #2 end on a more positive note: everyone think abt the comic where rui is perfectly capable of understanding emu #and he has the ‘all perfect’ text after comprehending her fascinating vocabulary. beautiful. perfect wxs relationship moment. #read curtain call again. & the other rui focuses. main story in general. etc.

being a kh mobile fan is so funny because all the kh content i see is going off about motifs and parallels and the development within both the light/dark and interpersonal connection themes and dissecting how it affects the other events within the story… and then i go to the kh main tag and its ‘Top ten reasons sora and riku should make out on kairis grave (and this will make kairi a better character)’

#NO HATE TOWARDS SORIKU BTW I LIKE SORIKU ITS CUTE THERES THEMES AND DRAMA AND ITS FUN AND THEY LOOK NICE AND EVERYTHING #I GOT INTO KH BECAUSE I LIKED SORA AND RIKU OK #But i am also far to aspec to not notice the implications behind the statement “sora cares lots about riku so they are canonically in love” #Like are you kidding me. In the friendship series. Really. #Also a lot of the theories that make kairi ‘better’ are like: “and then kairi will be inside soras heart forever!” #“And not only will sora not really do anything about this but it will make sense for him to not care :)” #“Human bonds being essential for living and powerful and healing? No kh is about leaving your friends behind actually. ” #“Not riku tho” #Sorry uh #Rant #I guess #(again. Not about soriku or shipping in general i am self aware and not a hypocrite. This is about a very hyperspecific genre of kh fan)

Imagine your f/o listening to you infodump about a topic that they're well versed in.

Maybe they're a genius, maybe they're just as interested in the topic as you, doesn't matter, they already know all this stuff.

But they love you, they love listening to you. Whether you talk like you're reading an essay or it's just ramblings that hop from topic to topic they are hanging off of every word you say.

Because they love you

Enot and Arti visit metropolis!

Listen!!! Selfshippers who are chubby or maybe just a little over weight or anything similar!! Imagine your f/o begging you to cuddle. They see you after a long day and inmmediatly go towards you. "Darling, i NEED to hold you...." (It's very relaxing for them okay?? Your body is perfect for hugs.) If you said no they will start whining like a kid and said they would do all the chores if you let them. Adore how soft you are too!! Obsessed with your cheeks, they pinch and even bite them!! And they melt when you get angry due that!! And your belly,,, oh god they're obsessed with it. Kissing, squeezing or even rubbing it. They let you use whatever clothes makes you more comfortable but always ressure you that you look great in anything (But honestly they prefer see you in nothing ehehe)

Oh!! And they love see you with their clothes!! It doesn't matter if it's big for you, fits just well or barely fits, YOU'RE WEARING T H E I R CLOTHES!! AND YOU LOOK SO PRETTY OH LORD THEY NEED TO KISS YOU OR THEY ARE GONNA PASS OUT HOWCANYOUBESOPRECIOUS---

#i just saw the most cute chubby girl in video and this came to my mind #alsoooo... uh.... #i don't want to rant but i kinda hate how they are so many hcs account that said things like 'OH your f/o loves how big you are!!' #and then process to make almost all their imagines for a skinny s/i #self insert community #self insert #self shipping community #self shipping #imagine your f/o #imagine your fictional crush #imagine your fictional other

i remember being genuinely scared to ship mareven because im a toddler that uses tiktok so my first intro to mareven shippers were just crazy maven stans who romanticise his mental illness. i remember one so vile i had to comment hate on it because they were bringing my bae mare into this like mare get behind me rn. and then they doubled down saying her rejection to maven made him more mentally unstable LIKE it was her responsibility???

#this is why most my mutuals are marecal shippers 😭 #i meam tumblr mareven shippers tend to have more self awareness thank GOD #had me defending marecal and mare AND cal individually on that app. it just wasnt pleasant #and then them chalking up his evilness to lie the blame at elara’s feet only. ewwwww ur misogyny is showingggggg #the lack of media literacy on that app is making me stress so much im going bald #fr was trying to not ship mareven bcuz i could not be seen with those embarrassing mfs. its why im on tumblr now lmfao #like why cant yall just ship mareven not in a platonic or romantic way but in the secret third soulmate way as intended why do yall have to #-be weird and rot ur brain when it comes to black haired blue eyed evil white twinks?? #red queen #red queen series #war storm #glass sword #kings cage #maven calore #mare barrow #mareven #this post started with mareven now i want to just rant about how bad those maven stans are at understanding his character #maven would hate yall irl #and they always treat mare as a self insert when shes such a strong character on her own. shes behind me and i have guns out blazing at yal #rewriting
