So, I figured I could maybe do one of these intro posts as well ...

About me :)

That's me:

My name is Alexandra, I'm female and mainly use she/her pronouns, however I think I'm also okay with they/them.

I'm legally an adult, even though I still often can't quite believe that yet (my exact age is in my bio because I would probably forget to update it in this post).

I speak German and English fluently, I also know a little Spanish. I have an interest in learning new languages, so far I've started to learn tiny bits of Russian, Japanese, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh!

~~~

My blog:

I originally made this blog mainly to post my art, however over time it turned a bit more into a selfship blog. Nowadays I post/reblog mostly selfship art and imagines/writing, but also "regular" stuff from fandoms that I like, and occasionally just some random memes or cute/funny things.

Some fandoms I'm in (more or less, I'm usually not super active in the sense that I engage a lot with other people - I'm sometimes kinda shy to approach/interact with new people - , but I enjoy these franchises): Star Wars, Hogan's Heroes, Phineas and Ferb, Warrior Cats, Pirates of the Caribbean, various cartoons and animated series (Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Trollhunters, The Dragon Prince, The Penguins of Madagascar, ...) and probably some more that I'm currently forgetting about xD Feel free to ask about them!

I selfship mainly for fun and for comfort, to me it's a kind of selfcare/selflove. I generally feel comfortable with sharing f/os, especially the ones that I'm not very focused at right now. However, I might not interact much with someone who has headcanons about them that heavily contradict with mine or just makes me somehow uncomfortable. Otherwise feel free to interact so we can gush about them together^^

You are allowed to reblog everything unless stated otherwise!

~~~

Tags I use to keep my blog organised (or at least attempt to):

#selniasart - my own art

#selniaswriting - my own writing, will probably be mostly x reader stories, headcanons or f/o imagines

#selniasoriginal - any other form of original content that doesn't fit into the categories above (memes etc.), basically anything that's not a reblog

#others' creations - art or writing made by other people

#asks for selnia - as the name says, any asks that I get

In theory I also have tags for my main f/os (mentioned in the f/o section), however I'm really not sure yet if I'm going to use them consistently or just stick to the character's names.

Also just fyi I started implementing my tagging system in February 2023, so most things before that (except my art) are unfortunately not tagged systematically!

~~~

Self shipping:

I have made a carrd for any information related to my self ships. This includes an overview of my fictional others, a short description of my self-inserts, as well as an introduction to their relationships. I have only started making it in summer 2023, and it's still a work in progress as more info will be added over time.

My self-insert is usually called Selina (or variations thereof, like Selena), I have different versions of her for different universes. I don't mind if you use her name to refer to me as well.

"Disclaimer": My taste in fictional characters doesn't reflect my taste in real-life people (especially in regards to their age, since most of them are a lot older than me), also many of them are villains/have done questionable things and I wouldn't support their actions in real life.

Current main f/os:

Dr. 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, zoophiles 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 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.

All in all, as long as you're a decent person you're welcome to stay, I'm really just here to have fun and talk about my favourite characters :)

~~~

Additional info:

Most of the stuff I post/reblog is suitable for general audiences, and I generally don't mind people of any age following me (unless maybe you're under the age of 13, but then you shouldn't be on Tumblr anyway).

However I won't completely exclude posting/reblogging adult content, but I will try my best to tag it appropriately with tags like "nsfw", "nsft", "explicit", "spicy", "suggestive" and the like. If you don't want to see these things, I suggest blacklisting these tags, especially if you're a minor. For my own posts, I will also always put a "read more" link and a warning before the actual content, so it isn't right in your face and you can decide on your own if you want to look at it or not. [By now I do have a dedicated side blog for adult self ship content as well. I'm a little secretive about it, but I tend to share the @ every once in a while.]

I also have a roleplay side blog for my Pirates of the Caribbean OC/self-insert: @selenafinley-rp Feel free to follow there too! :)

My other social media:

Instagram (most active) | DeviantArt | Twitter | Artfol

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

Do you have any advice for convincing yourself that a comfort character would like you? I know its fiction and I can do whatever I want and have fun, but there is still a part of me that doubts that my comfort character would like me. Especially since they are a villain.

Ohh, villains are my specialty, babe! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ I gotchu!!

Almost all of my main F/Os are villains, and I do have my doubts sometimes that they'd like me, too! It's a normal feeling, don't worry - I'm pretty sure most of the community has this same type of insecurity/anxiety, as well. You're not alone!

Here's what helps me the most:

💘 Making content! I do a lot of digital art, and if I'm feeling insecure abt a specific F/O, I'll draw them kissing me, holding my hand, giving me validation, whatever! It doesn't have to be big or grand, you can also just take a little post-it note and draw your F/O giving you a kiss on the forehead, or even just saying "I love you!" Make a bunch of tiny little half-assed scribbles on a sketchbook page. Don't even worry about the lines coming out perfect, or colors or shading or anything, just... let your heart have some fun! Time yourself, draw as many different cheesy things as you can in under five minutes. I actually bought a little tiny sketchbook no bigger than the palm of my hand for occasions like this!

On the topic of drawing, you can also take a screenshot of your F/O (if your F/O is from a movie/TV show, that is) and doodle yourself next to them, in your favorite scene!

🧡 If you don't like to draw, however, you can also try writing! Writing little drabbles, even if it's just like, three sentences in the Notes app on your phone. I write little oneshots all the time, some of them barely even five paragraphs!

💛 Write your own "imagine your F/O" posts, but just for yourself! You don't have to post them necessarily, but just make a bullet-point list of scenarios/daydreams you have with your F/O! :D For example, I have over five hundreddd daydream scenarios written down in my phone, in case if I ever want to draw them. I don't HAVE to draw them, but I sure do love reading them. It makes me feel love for my F/O, and makes me feel loved by my F/O in return! They don't even have to be complicated, it can just be like "F/O and S/I are stuck in the rain. F/O shares their umbrella with S/I" or "F/O and S/I hold hands in a crowd so they don't get lost"!

💚 Looking at the content you create can remind you of how good you feel when you think about your comfort character, and then you think to yourself that the love/safety that you feel in that moment, is the same feeling your F/O has about you!! I'll often look at older drawings of me and Plankton and think "oh I was in a good mood when I drew this, all that time ago, I really felt like he loved me, here" and then I am reminded of that Good Feeling and I'm like "hell yea, Plankton loves me so much!!"

💙 One thing that helps me the most, especially on REALLY rough nights: PLAYLISTS!!! Listen to songs that remind you of your F/O!!! Listen to a song that you think they'd sing to you. When I have my doubts that Starscream would love me, I just listen to "Temporary Love" or "Imagine" by Ben Platt (since those are the StarKeri theme songs), or I turn on my Saving Starlight playlist, and I am right back on track! It might take a few songs, especially on a bad day when you're convinced your F/O can't love you. At least once or twice a week, I get in my car around midnight, and I drive down the highway for a couple of hours, and I listen to my TFP playlist, full of all the songs that I think my TFP F/Os would associate with me. It's about two hours long and it always makes me feel better. Hell, there are even times when I'll be driving and I'll listen to my Starscream playlist and actually get misty-eyed because I feel so loved, in those moments.

💜 You can also make a list of things about yourself that you think your F/Os would love about you! It might be hard to sit and list "here are things I like about myself," but it's easier to imagine "oh, well, I think F/O would love my personality, or [insert talent/skill], and also [insert physical feature], or even [insert habit/mannerism]". Your F/Os adore everything about you, it's unconditional, no matter how big or small!!

💝 Watching their episodes!! There's always, ALWAYS, a way to write a character doing something, react a certain way, dynamics w/ different characters... you can make ANYTHING "in character", yes, even for villains! Starscream, for example, is such a... terrible, terrible person, no altruism in this mech at all, he has ZERO positive relationships w/ people, and he's bitter and wouldn't hesitate to betray anyone if it means he can climb to the top. He also, um, hates humans. Does that stop me from self shipping w/ him? Hell no, man!! If anything, my human s/i is the one exception! Your villain F/O could be like "I hate everyone, I hate everything, I have no love in my soul" and they'd take one look at you and say "EXCEPT for this person. I LOVE this person, this is MY person, NOBODY ELSE EVEN LOOK AT THIS PERSON, THEY ARE MINE."

💖 I once read a post saying "your F/O's canon source material is just their universe, without you in it." If your self insert was in their universe, everything would change. Relationships, dynamics, decisions, even life-or-death situations, would ALL change. It's not "out of character" for your F/O to love you, because there is ALWAYS an in-character way to squeeze anything you want in there. Yes, it's fiction, and you can do whatever you want and have fun, but I agree with what you said, how it's a bit easier to believe if it's more "in character", and I totally get that. I try to make Starscream as in character as possible, with my ship. Megatron, on the other hand, I just make the guy drop to his knees and beg for my attention lmao. Is it in character? Absolutely not. He's the last character to do that. Do I make him do it anyway? Yes. Have I written it enough times that I actually believe he'd do it? Hell yeah.

Of course, these things might not work overnight, but they could really help!!! Self shipping is quite literally all up to you; you have full control over the aspects of your relationship and how you're treated. I know it also feels important to some people (myself included!) to keep them, (especially a villain F/O!!), as "in character" as possible so it feels more authentic -- but the more you familiarize yourself with a character and the idea of them loving you, the more you come to believe it!

Persistence is key!! You just gotta keep telling yourself that they love you -- self shipping is self love, after all! It's hard to believe your comfort character could love you, if you don't love yourself. I struggle with this, too, so I totally understand. And hey! Look at you, already trying your best and reaching out to me about it! Your F/O would be so proud of that, wouldn't they? They'd feel so special that you care so much!! Your comfort character, really, REALLY loves you - all you gotta do now is love yourself!!

I hope any of these helped, I'm sorry this list got so long and my brain kind of jumps everywhere. I hope this made sense, please feel free to reach out to me again if you want me to explain anything in a different way, or if you just want further reassurance! (o゜▽゜)o☆

#anonymous #asks #self insert asks #im so happy you reached out to me btw thank you!#im so honored any time someone asks for my advice #bc i dont think im super great at giving it or at least delivering My Thoughts #I have the advice it's here in my brain. but I don't know how to Word It sometimes #I rly rly hope this helps!!!#your villain comfort character loves you SO MUCH I promise!! :D #if Starscream can have feelings for me then your villain can DEFINITELY have feelings for YOU!!#just because you don't think they'd love you doesn't mean that it's true!#they love you whether you feel it or not. it's there!! all the love and adoration for u!!
