if they didnt want me to fall hopelessly in love with fictional characters why did they make them so easy to fall in love with huh?????????? why did they make them so kissable and easy to care about and imagine a life with hmmmmmmmmm??????????

luv men who love you weirdly. who love you so much it’s just shy of creepy. luv men who r a little not normal when it comes to you n their love for you.

Go forth. Be your f/o's queer awakening.

your f/o loves all the “weird” things about you btw. all your bad habits and your “cringy” interests and the not-so-perfect details of your life. they don’t want you to be anything but who you really are, and they’re so proud of the person you are and so happy to call you theirs <3

A while back I made a twitter post about how self shipping and OC/canon is okay, and engaging in your interests is valid. However I noticed more acceptance toward women/feminine people who self ship, and a lot of disdain toward men or masculine people doing the same thing… I even got comments saying “yeah well if a guy does it, it’s cringe.” 

(This language isn’t meant to exclude nonbinary people by the way, I’m nonbinary and masc-leaning. But there is an obvious difference in response toward men & masculine nonbinary folk, vs women & feminine nonbinary folk when it comes to fandom/things like this.)

Obviously, that’s BS. I just wanna say to all men and masculine folks who selfship or like oc/canon: You’re not “cringey” or “weird” for selfshipping as a man or masc person. Your gender doesn’t automatically make you a creep, it doesn’t make you weird, and it doesn’t make you “cringey.” This especially goes for mlm or nblm. 

Expressing yourself in positive ways is good and you deserve to enjoy yourself. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, nobody else can tell you what to do. Nobody else gets to dictate your self-expression.

shout out to the self-shippers whose f/o is the most unpopular character in their source.

shout out to the self-shippers whose f/o is a tumblr sexyman/tumblr sexyman archetype.

shout out to the self-shippers whose f/o is seen as only a “meme” or “cringe.”

shout out to the self-shippers who give their f/o a textbook’s worth of lore because canon failed them.

shout out to the self-shippers who wish the fandom took their f/o more seriously.

shout out to the self-shippers with f/os so obscure, they don’t even have a fandom.

y’all are the self-shipping community’s strongest soldiers. keep loving! 💗

there is something so inherently sensual about the way a fictional character uses a weapon. the way they swing it, load ammo into it, or simply fidget with it. you are KIDDING ME

#mattie chitters #did i buy rings so i could wear jewelry for f/os more often? mayhaps #theyre both wing themed but one is def way more subtle on that end fbndb #anyway i feel like dove would be so smug about it

The first rule of self insert OC is to be yourself. The second rule is to make out sloppy style with ur fav

Selfshippers who suffer from fatigue and/or chronic weaknesses: Your F/O’s will always understand and support you as best they can.

Selfshippers who are struggling with bed rotting, motivation or even getting up at all: Your F/O’s are here to root for you and to motivate you, but also to sit with you on the really bad days

Selfshippers who are too exhausted or burnt out to post or create: Your F/O’s AND fellow community members understand. Every day is a battle sometimes, but that’s not something that makes you lesser or unworthy of anything.

Your F/O’s will always stick by you, be it a long haul of chronic illness for your entire life, or a short lived set of troubles.

You are valid, loved, appreciated within this beautiful space and should never feel bad for the speed at which you interact with the world around you. Ever.
