Some positivity for self shippers with ‘young’ F/Os.
💖 There is nothing wrong with self shipping with a character who is portrayed in their media as being under 18 years old.
💖 Even if you are an adult.
💖 No matter how old you are.
💖 You never have to stop liking a character just because of their age, or your age.
💖 It’s okay to age up your F/O if it makes you more comfortable, but you don’t have to.
💖 It’s okay to age down your S/I if it makes you more comfortable, but you don’t have to.
💖 A fictional character is a fictional character.
💖 There is no fictional character who it is wrong for you to self ship with.
