Mod Confessions for Sample Confession

Mod Nerd: I've self shipped with Cor Leonis from Final Fantasy XV for year and a half now and I love him so much. He makes me feel safe. I can't stop thinking about him!!

Mod Panda: I have only been self shipping for a few years now and when I came in, Jacob Frye was my first! I still love him dearly, even though the very thought of him makes me blush.

Mod Pen: Hanzo Shimada has been one of my biggest loves lately. Never wanted to smooch a man so much.

I self shipped even before I knew there was a term for it. I kept reading/writing OCxCharacter fanfics and mentally inserted myself into the position of the OC's, up until I (re)discovered RPing in college and started shamelessly inserting myself into stories and pairing myself with characters. It's been years, but I'm still a self shipper!

We’re glad you’re finding joy in self shipping, nonnie!! We mods here at SelfShipConfess welcome you with open arms and I hope you continue to enjoy as much as everyone else does!!

My f/o stopped me from suicide. The 'friendships' I had up until recently were too fragile and fell apart after a ptsd breakdown from myself. I cut ties with everyone and wanted to end myself... until it was like my f/o saying to me. “hey, I love you, you are worth so much more and don't give up because of these people.“ from that day on I started appreciating my life and everyone in it again. I feel alive again and part of it is because of my F/O. I LOVE HIM!

I love to imagine Specter (my f/o: the villain from Ape Escape) of being able to visit me in this real reality. I’m.. severely mentally ill. To the point I can’t leave my home anymore, and imagining and talking out loud to a imaginary monkey fellow, or imagining those little pipo monkeys running around the house like our kids,,, makes me feel less alone.. less like a failure- and really makes me feel loved. Even if I, technically portray him wrong,, I love imagining that I could just, take him away from those evil points in the game- all from the beginning. Somehow take him to a different reality, a world where it’s just him, me and the monkeys. He’s still be a narcissist, a little, and still obsessed with his power over his minions, but he’d be much more.. soft, and open. With me, to take care of me, a inferior little “human”. And,,, agh I love him.

Hey there Nonny, Mod Nerd here!!

That’s very sweet that you want to reach out to self shippers. I’m sure if you show yourself to us, we’d love to know more about your story! Stay awesome!!

@committing-fiction We’re sorry that we got to this late, but just know that you have a safe space here at SelfShipConfess. We’re happy you enjoy this blog and we hope to see you submit confessions to us in the future 💜

Hey guys!!

Firstly, I’d like to welcome new followers to this blog and I hope you guys enjoy what goes on here. We try to keep things updated, but with all the mods being in school and working, we do go at a slow pace because of it ;;;;;

We would like to inform you all that we are going to be posting confessions next week, March 10th-16th EST due to Mod Nerd 🤓 and Mod Panda 🐼 starting their Spring Break. All mods will try to get all the confessions done during this week, but you will be seeing confessions rendered by mostly Mod Nerd 🤓 and Mod Panda 🐼 due to Mod Pen 🖋 not having her Spring Break until the week after the other mods. 

We thank you all for standing by us and thank you so much for the patience. Keep an eye out for them soon!!

Hey guys!

Just to let you know, we’re gonna be closing up the inbox for a while. We’ve received a lot of asks within the last few days that Mod Nerd 🤓 has been answering due to being the only available at times. We’re gonna try to answer all the non confession related asks and work on confessions as fast as we possibly can. We do have them and we thank you for submitting them in. We thank you for the support and we hope to open it back soon!!

I don’t think anyone in the community doesn’t NOT have merch/content based off their f/o. A lot of people make ITA bags based off a f/o which I think is pretty neat!!

NO IT’S NOT WRONG, THAT IS THE BEST THING!!!! A lot of self shippers use their f/o(s) to help stay healthy and active in their lives outside of social media!! It’s been confirmed by Psychologists that self shipping is a healthy coping mechanism for people that suffer through anxiety, depression, etc. Link would be happy and more than willing to help you out and make sure you take care of yourself and that he’s proud that you are!!!

No problemo!

That’s what this blog is for 😊 We try out best to do contribute to have a safe place to gush. Man that is bad, but it doesn’t mean you’re left out! There are a lot of people that are in the same boat as you, but continue to gush because they love their f/o’s. You are always willing to send as many confessions as you want because we want you to feel validated. 

I’m sorry that you feel that way Nonnie. It’s terrible that people treat you like that because you’re just being true to yourself. I’m glad that your self insert and your f/o comfort you. That is the most amazing thing to have to help you get through what you’re going through. I know it’s hard, but we believe in you and support you. If you even need to feel validated, you can always come to us. That’s why we’re here. Just know that you’re amazing and you’re loved here 💜

Hey Nonnie!

I’m not trying to start up discourse again within the community because everyone has had their fill within the last few months. Anymore discussion about this topic will be deleted on sight after this ask. 

It’s okay to not like people aging up young characters and to no interact wanting to interact with people that do. I’m sorry that it triggers you, but it is how it is. You can’t stop it. Don’t harass (which I’m saying you’re not) someone and forcing them to stop is not the way. You’d be literally asking someone to stop caring for a character they’ve grown up with since their childhood. 

I’ve seen several well known bloggers within the community that age up characters/age down self inserts because they don’t want to give up on characters that they hold dear to their heart.And I know for a fact that several people that aren’t into it follow these people that are (probably with or without them knowing they do) because they like the content they make, which makes the argument invalid and kinda ridiculous to say the least. 

This community is about love and acceptance. People are gonna have an opinion on it that is different from yours, but harassment is not the answer along with indulging in the drama. If you don’t like it, just block/blacklist and move on. Stop the drama before it even starts and settle it like adults. I’ve been in this community since it began on Tumblr and I’ve seen this topic come up within the 2+ years; if not more; it’s been here. It’s been that bad since what had transpired in the past few months. It just causes more drama and people are gonna get hurt because they just want it to stop.

This blog supports aging up characters (to an extent). This blog is accepting for everyone within the community and the other Mods and myself try to keep it that way. If you don’t like how we do things around here, I recommend unfollowing this blog. I thank you for reading and I hope you had a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday and I hope that the New Year treats you well 💜

Its tough. Only a small handful of people know that I do self insert art. Hell, even my parents know that I do this (thats because I post on Instagram and some on Facebook). You just gotta keep an eye out for those you trust fully and that they will accept your interests. You have a family here at selfshipconfess, never forget that. If you want to talk, gush, spaz, geek out, etc. about your favorite character, just contact me or the other mods. We’ll listen!
