#self shippers
On another note I’d like to use this blog more and I’m really sorry if your request got eaten/buried
In case sleep is a problem for you, just imagine your F/O sinking into the bed that you are sharing right now, under the warmth of the covers, after your delicate tugging on their arm. They got the message. Must be another difficult night…
Imagine how your legs get tangled as you pull yourself closer to their chest, seeking comfort and security. Your F/O’s chin gently rests on the top of your head, their presence reassuring you that they’re here for you.
Close your eyes, love, for I’ll be here when you open them. I can’t possibly miss the moment when I get to see those eyes that sparkle.
Imagine your F/O keeping a picture of you in their wallet and/or pocket. It’s small and maybe not your favorite of yourself, but to them it’s the most precious thing they own wherever they’d go.
Imagine them taking it out whenever they miss you terribly, their fingerstips delicately brushing over your photo, a small smile painted on their face.
Does anyone have any tips for not feeling like garbage compared to your f/o’s love interest?
Dear and lovely hoomans,
I generally don’t comment much on posts because I feel like my interventions are not always that relevant or important, but I felt the absolute need to say something about this.
For anyone who struggles with this, I can’t stress enough how much I admire you all for dealing with those thoughts every step of your self shipping journey! Even so, remember that self shipping implies one unique universe in which only YOU (S/I) matter(s) and your F/O(s). It’s hard to ignore their canon interests, I know, but you chose to love them specifically for a reason, it didn’t just happen. Think about it: it could have been any other character and yet, here you are! :)
I like to believe there’s a connection, one that cannot be broken. Not even by canon. Because it’s yours and it comes from you heart, from the purest and loveliest intentions you could have!
Your F/O(s) will love you endlessly, your heart is the safest place in the world they could live in, and that will hopefully remind you that you’ll always have them with you. <3
Imagine cupping your F/O’s face and them immediately melting in your touch, their shoulders visibly hunching over. A low grunt or sigh with contentment escapes, even if they are the stoic type and find it impossible to admit how delighted and elated they feel in your presence. Your bright smile and loving eyes are your F/O’s forever.
BACK to encourage you to imagine your F/O attentively listening to you, their dizzy gaze willingly sinking into your beautiful eyes. Whether you are ranting, venting, gushing about something you really like or simply talking about your day, they slightly nod at every point you try to prove, letting you know that they understand and hear you.
Imagine their fingers slowly catching a rebel strand of hair and gently putting it behind your ear, their palm cupping your cheek in the process. They might blush furiously or maybe they shot you a flirty grin: whatever it is, your F/O cannot stop showing you through the simplest ways how much they love you!
Imagine having to wake up early, but your f/o is clinging to you in their sleep. You try to get free from their grasp to begin your long day, but they suddenly tighten their hug and mumble in their sleep, their voice a sweet plea.
“Don’t go…please…stay with me.”
You’re not going anywhere today. You are exactly where you should be.
imagine starting cooking classes with your f/o ! you guys joined out of curiosity, only expecting to go once, but you two have so much fun at the classes you keep going ! and you use what you learn at the classes to surprise eachother with dinner
bonus; imagine the other couples at the classes being your friends and their f/os !
HAPPY NEW YEARS FROM ME AND MOD CARRIE !
This year has been amazing. Especially because of you all ! I’ve been so much happier since I’ve become a part of the self shipping community. I’ve never seen a group of people who are so supportive and accepting and sweet… I hope you all have an amazing New Years, and I hope 2020 treats you well !

Imagine celebrating New Years with your F/O(s) !
Imagine taking a blanket to the park and sitting on the grass to watch fireworks together ! If you and your F/O have kids, imagine them being with you, and imagine their excited face when they see all the bright colors !
If fireworks aren’t your thing, then imagine having a party with your F/O and all of your friends ! Imagine kissing your F/O at midnight, and all your friends cheering and oohing to mess with you.
i know the holidays are a tough time for a lot of us, especially the family parties we have to go to, so imagine your f/o going to one of your family’s holiday parties with you ! imagine them holding your hand if you’re anxious around your family, or standing outside with you when you need space from the people inside the party.
imagine getting frozen yogurt with your f/o on a hot day in the middle of the summer… you stack it as high as you can with all kinds of candies and whipped cream and chocolates, and then sit at a park bench to share it
