shoutout to disabled selfshippers!

ᯓ★ self shippers with invisible disabilities

ᯓ★ self shippers who can’t indulge with their f/o as much as they want because their health gets in the way

ᯓ★ self shippers who suffer yet can’t get help or a proper diagnosis because the healthcare system sucks

ᯓ★ self shippers who have a hard time being active in the community for various reasons (low energy/fatigue, burnout, pain flareups, etc.) despite wanting to

you are seen. you are loved. i’m glad you’re here, no matter how frequent or infrequent you pop in. thank you for being part of our community.

your f/os love you so much, and i know they’re beyond happy to support you through anything and everything.

you won’t walk this exhausting path alone. they won’t let that happen.

i dont think you should only interact with other self shippers to gain something in return, but genuinely if you leave nice comments on other peoples posts, or send them asks about their self ships they are way more likely to do the same for you.

so not only do you get the attention you wanted but now youve built at least a surface level connection to some other people in the community and thats good for all of us. self shipping has just become so individual and i really hope people remember that this community is all about sharing love and/or support with other people. you’re supposed to share your love for your favs but your also supposed to share your love for your community.

and your f/o does exactly that for you.

every 2 years or so I remember Steven universe exists and go into a state of pure insanity

color your night

don't cry!! think about laying down with your head on your f/o's lap, their fingers stroking your hair. they're trying their hardest to be gentle, slowly running their fingers along your hairline.

if they're usually warm and bubbly then they might be cooing over you with a soft smile, trying to make you laugh, tapping you on the nose with an infectious grin.

if they're usually quiet and calm then they take a softer approach, humming as they run their fingers over your temples, massaging your scalp and trying to soothe you.

either way they're tender with you, trying their best to keep you grounded and comfortable because they love you 🩷
