shoutout to selfshippers from the global south

shoutout to selfshippers from countries that are barely or never shown in globally popular media

shoutout to selfshippers who are part of ethnic groups that are barely or never represented in any pieces of media

shoutout to selfshippers who miss out on their mutuals' posts or miss out on promo hour because they're in a completely different timezone

shoutout to selfshippers who can't relate to experiences that are treated as universal in the selfship community

shoutout to all the selfshippers who feel excluded and overlooked because of who they are and/or where they're from

you are seen, you are appreciated, and you are loved <3

for selfshippers who are uncomfortable with kisses (as well as romantic* selfship imagines writers), here are some alternatives to kissing you can consider:

nose nuzzling

gently pressing your cheek against your f/o's

blowing a kiss at them

saying "mwah!"

lovingly looking at your f/o and smiling at them

if you've thought of another alternative, feel free to share them on this post and i'll add it to the list!

Robot F/O that has a folder somewhere on their hard drive dedicated to you specifically ! information related to you (like the day they met you, or a list of gift ideas for your next birthday,and the next next one,and the one after,and—) ,pictures of you organized in chronological order across the years, pages upon pages of letters written to you that probably won’t see the light of day, and a spreadsheet cataloguing your habits— wait, what?!

they’re definitely really normal about you, they promise!

Pro./dark.ship DNI,thanks !! — plain text under the cut !!

~~ I'VE GOT NO CLEVER CAPTION!!! IT'S BEEN 8 YEARS AND I'M STILL OBSESSED WITH THIS DUMB MANTIS ~~

this is just something quick I wanted to draw. it's not as elaborate as some of my previous stuff but I'm kinda tired and doing art + self ship has been difficult for me as of late. but something is better than nothing!!!!

i'm definitely not done with this stuff. maybe when things are a bit more stable and my mental health starts doing better you might see me more active.

but wow! almost a decade now. I feel old...even though I'm not that old. and half embarrassed I've been so into this dude for that long. but idk, he's helped me get through a lot of difficult times and continues to be a sort of muse for me. and there's no other way I can think to thank him for that than some tribute.

love him so much. i'm gay blah blah blah

Reusing the name Sweetie Sue for this s/i because I feel it fits her better. She’s a painter who sometimes doubts herself and teaches art classes to the little monsters and kids while also trying to remind herself to not be too sweet with a certain grouch in respect, but has a hard doing so because she finds him intriguing and cute.
