Unconventional Self Shipping Prompts

Welcome to Unconventional Shipping, a blog dedicated to unconventional and/or overlooked ships.

This blog is intended to cater towards unconventional ship dynamics (like alien, monster, robotic, and familial F/Os) as well as ships that are often overlooked (like T4T ships, neurodivergent F/Os and/or inserts, disabled F/Os and/or inserts, and non-white characters and/or inserts). I hope to create posts that fill the needs of shippers who aren’t able to easily find prompts and imagines for their personal dynamics, because everyone in the community deserves to feel seen and worthy of love. I am also intending to provide more from this blog, like reblogging art and fanfiction so that creators get the attention they deserve, and, depending on how things go here, I may start providing other things to the community such as fanfiction requests, moodboards, playlists, and more.

we don’t want anything to do with pr*shippers. we don’t want anything to do with inc*st shippers.

i do not accept pr.oshipping. i do not want interactions from pro.shippers. i do not want follows from pro.shippers. i will block pr.oshippers that follow this blog. do not interact with this blog if you are a pro.shipper.

read the dni before you follow.

you are not ungrateful! not everyone’s family is good, and it’s okay to acknowledge that you’re isnt. others having worse circumstances don’t make your circumstances okay, and it’s not rude or bad to acknowledge that. if what they’re doing or saying is hurting you, then that’s real, and no one gets to argue that.

it’s not forever. i know this seems like a platitude, but the holidays will be over eventually. and, if you live with the family you’re avoiding, you don’t have to forever. you never know what the future holds, so don’t give up hope! i’m rooting for you over here 💖

your f/os are here for you now. whether it’s familial f/os ready to replace the family members who suck, or it’s romantic f/os who would scoop you up and out of there at a moments notice, or platonic f/os who’d let you crash on their couch if they could, they’re all here for you. take comfort in them and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for that!

the community is also here for you. i know i can’t speak for everyone but i know this community is filled with the most loving, caring people- it is a community based around our love, after all. we’re all rooting for you and we all believe in you, and i hope you feel supported by us as your found family this holiday season no matter how rough it gets. and just know that no matter what, there’s at least one person running this blog here who understands what you’re feeling, and is here for you, and i hope you understand that they’re happy to listen or provide comforting requests if you need it.

this blog isn’t abandoned! it’s just sleeping (basically)

there’s a lot of things that have happened in my personal life lately; i was hired on to a new job that is part time but because it’s the holidays, it’s taking up a lot of hours of my life. i’m also currently studying so that’s also a lot of time taken up. i’m also recovering from a massive depressive relapse which made it difficult for me to dedicate to anything or to function properly, and sadly at some points it ended up between getting out of bed or running this blog- i don’t mean this as an excuse or asking for pity, this is just my explanation for what happened. but to make this brief i’m going to be returning to this blog soon! if you sent in a request i’m so so sorry i haven’t filled it yet, and i’ll be filling them sometime shortly. i’m not sure when i’ll be able to do regular posting again but… i’ll be queuing requests soon! i’d say probably within the month?

it’s absolutely not a weird request! i’d be happy to, anon!

imagine how it must be to just have them hanging around! teasing them by leaning on them like a table, setting things on their head - but also being sweet about it, because you don’t want to go too far. picking them up to see them eye-to-eye (or display-to-eye?), giving absent-minded headpats when you walk by them working, and oh my gosh the cuddles are legendary. you get to be the big spoon and just absolutely surround them and make them feel the safe - until they decide to be the big spoon for once. well, i mean, with their height, they’re a little bit less big spoon and a little bit more jetpack /j

also, doing manner legs to be able to be the same height in selfies with them lol

absolutely!

it’s hard not to notice differences between the two of your bodies - it’s just a fact of life that you’re built different, like how it’s a fact that some people have different hair colors or eye colors, or nose and face shapes. no one of those traits is inherently bad, but because of societal pressures, you can’t help it that it sometimes brings you down. you want to just feel love when you look at them, but at times you can’t bring yourself to, when every time you see them you see what you aren’t.

of course your f/o notices this - they know you better than they know themself, they can immediately tell when something is wrong, so they ask about it. maybe you don’t want to tell them at first - whether you aren’t ready to be vulnerable like that with this particular topic, or you don’t want to make them feel like you don’t love them enough, or you don’t want them to think it’s somehow their fault or that they made you feel this way. no matter the reason, your f/o is kind about it - they don’t pressure you to say anything that you don’t feel comfortable with, but they remind you that they’re always here for you and they want to be part of your life, as someone you can rely on and you can come to for safety.

and, of course, you cave.

so you tell them all about how you’re feeling. you tell them how you wish you could be more like them, how you wish you could just change. they listen to you quietly, never speaking over you, just letting you vent. when you’re finished, they make sure you’re done speaking, and without a word they pull you close into their arms. they remind you how much they love you, before they say anything else - how they chose you for you, because they love you and find you beautiful, perfect even. they tell you how there’s nothing about you they would ever change, because they would never want to change a person who is already everything they could ever ask for. of course they’ll support you no matter what, if you choose to take something up (like a particular sport, for example), but they want you to not go into anything because you feel like you’re not good enough or because you feel like you’re incomplete - they want the decisions you make to be based on because you want to, because it’s something you feel passion for, because it would make you happy. other people’s opinions on what brings you happiness just don’t matter! and your f/o reminds you that even their opinions don’t matter - in the end, it’s up to you, feeling comfortable and safe and happy. and most of all - healthy. and in the end, everything else is moot. love means acceptance, love means wanting your safety. love doesn’t mean seeking to alter you.

and then they pick you up and carry you to the couch for a multiple hour cuddle session ft. any tv or youtube you want to watch.

of course anon!!

first and foremost, for your consideration: cuddle piles. just cuddle piles. your honor i rest my case

just think of the variety in dates, even when you’re staying home!

when you’re watching a movie, who’s the one to make jokes about everything, who’s the one to talk to the characters like they can hear them, who’s the one to tell everyone to shut up, who’s the one holding the snacks? etc

imagine the restaurant dates! everyone showing up to the place, getting a cozy booth. who orders the most expensive thing on the menu? who orders chicken tenders at an expensive hibachi? who tries to encourage everyone to try something wild and new? who tries to calculate the bill split plus tip? (bonus: who ends up just saying screw it and paying for the whole thing instead of bothering to do the math)

one partner making surprise treats for everyone, pies, batches of cookies and fancy pastries!!

making flash cards to try to remember everyone’s coffee orders

who orders a complex order (soy milk java chip frappuccino w/ cinnamon and extra whip lol)? who orders something different off the alleged secret menu every time? who orders plain black coffee (even at places where they only serve espresso or americano)? who always orders some kind of pastry or sandwich?

how’s the sleeping situation? all together in one big bed? everyone has their own bed? switching every time? specific people sleep together?
