hey guys its me, sheepy and im pretty late but i still wanted to make a post about self-insert positivity thing going on

i started self-insert and self-shipping firstly with x readers more than anything else for YEARS - a friend of mine had done self shipping quite extensively and i had been keeping an eye on @affectionatealien ‘s blog because their content was really fucking cute and i am nothing but supportive... then i found out that there was actually an extensive community of self-shippers one day and i was like “well fuck, i wanna do this... i’ll make my own blog for this too!” pretty soon after i started crushing hard for black hat!

and so i did. i started off as a really small blog without much attention but @aquasworldismusicsworld helped me really feel comfortable within the community and was one of the first people to inspire me to make my own self ship content via art rather than just gushing about it and it was honestly incredibly freeing and amazing and was VERY fun to draw... thank you so much aqua i will never forget u fam. other blogs who also did this for me were @lovelybfs and @corporate-funded-selfshipping and @zorosgirlfriend 

and every day being part of this community has been amazing and it just keeps getting better in my personal opinion. honestly a lot of it boils down to the fact that ever since i had created the self shipping discord, it has been so much easier for me to talk to other self shippers and make more friends in this community as it has been nothing but a positive experience so far. and it’s been very, very fun. hilariously making the discord has also led to me dragging my friends into the self-shipping community as well! they could see the positivity for themselves! yeah, i’m calling out @hehemyers and @justicemust !!!

and thank you everyone on the self-shipping discord who has helped make my experience in this community such a wonderful place: @dreamyentropy @yamiselfships @nohr-and-thirst @husband-of-lucoa @adventuresofyuu @barbersurgeonvampire @jaklovemail @mariposalass @mary-berry-sue

and one person i can never forget about, the darling who always likes all of my posts and who also self-ships with an f/o of mine... i love you, @theblackdragonstudios your support is overwhelming even though you never speak to me <3 your self-ship is also valid and keep being amazing you funky little dragon!
