🤔 How does your F/O feel about their acts of villainy? Do they enjoy them? Are they a necessary evil? Or do they just not care?

💕 When you (or your S/I) and your F/O first meet, how do you feel about your F/O’s villainy? Do you support them? Oppose them? Or something else?

Self ship prompt:

You and your F/O switch bodies for the day! (either your body or your S/I, either works).

😏 Get up to any frisky business?

hi, it’s new-to-selfshipping anon again, and i’ve made a sideblog to reblog posts about my f/o’s! i have three of them now, but i still feel like i’m not doing it right? a lot of your previous response to me was about engaging with the selfship community which was nice, but more of my problems lie with the logistics of actually selfshipping. to me, as an aromantic, this is sort of like my substitute for romance with irl people due to trauma, but i’ve seen a lot of selfshippers who talk about their f/o’s like they’re real and put a lot of effort into those relationships like they were with real people. i fully respect that, but i feel like i’m just not doing it right because i’m not that committed. i’m a very romantic person in a lot of ways, hence the selfshipping, but i also know my f/o’s are just that, fictional, and i feel kind of uncomfortable with the idea of committing to them like they are real people. i love them, thinking about being in relationships with them make me feel very happy, i have full control over these relationships, but i feel like a massive poser. they’re so appealing to me because they’re fictional and they can’t hurt or reject me unless i want them to, but should i be treating my relationships with my f/o’s like they are with real people? should i be taking them out on dates and talking about them like they are my actual partners? again, this is all very new to me and i’m very confused. thank you so much in advance, i’m sorry this is such a long ask.

First of all, anon, no matter what, you are not a poser. Self shipping is very personal, and kind of means something different to every person who does it.

should i be treating my relationships with my f/o’s like they are with real people? 

There is no ‘should’. You get to interact with your F/Os to the extent that makes you happy, and that’s it. 

The exception to this is if your F/Os are fictives, soulbonds, etc. But you make it clear that– as is the case with MOST self shippers– your F/Os are something you have full control over and they’re not in any way independent of you.

I think it’s likely that you get the impression of a deeply real and intense relationship between F/O and self shipper from the answers they give to asks about the details and events of their relationship. 

I would hazard a guess that the case for most self shippers is that these elaborate answers and details are a mix of recurring daydreams, daydreams in the moment produced in response to the questions, and creative writing exercises in response to the questions.

Are there self shippers who have deep, ongoing, intense mutual relationships with their F/Os to the point that there is interaction in daily life? Absolutely, I’m one of those people. But my impression of the community is that that’s not always the case, and not the case for most people, and that’s fine!

I think there are levels of involvement in self-shipping, going from more common to less common (in correlation from least intense to most intense involvement.) ALL of these levels are perfectly valid self shipping relationships to have, and you’re not a “better” self shipper for being involved at a more intense level.

Here’s my perception of these levels, which absolutely aren’t rigid in any way, and definitely blend with one another in places. People who usually interact with their F/Os on a level 2 intensity might sometimes interact temporarily on a Level 4 intensity for instance, etc.

Level 1 Intensity

  • Appreciating and consuming content of your F/O in their fiction
  • Appreciating, consuming and sharing content of your F/O in fanart and fanfiction
  • Daydreaming about your F/O and interactions with your F/O, probably with no ongoing continuity between these daydreams

Level 2 Intensity

  • Creating fan content of your F/O without involving yourself or an S/I, unless the “you” is an x reader.
  • Daydreaming about interactions with your F/O, possibly with an ongoing continuity between daydreams
  • Buy, creating or displaying merchandise and pictures of your F/O in your real life spaces
  • Talking with people about your F/O, but relating to them as a fictional character

Level 3 intensity

  • Creating fan content of you and your F/O involving yourself or an S/I (includes answering asks about your relationship)
  • Daydreaming about interactions with your F/O with an ongoing continuity, possibly imagining your F/O communicating with you sometimes in your daily life.
  • Talking with people about your F/O as if they were a real person

Level 4 intensity

  • Engaging in elaborate internal/mental interactions with your F/O, as a muse, soulbond, fictive, etc.
  • Genuinely interacting with your F/O as if they were a real person. 

Level 5 intensity

  • Involving interactions with your F/O in your day to day outside world life in any capacity, such as buying things specifically for them to enjoy, taking them on dates, etc.

No matter what level or levels you find yourself interacting with your F/O on, anon, you are a valid self shipper, and there is nothing wrong with what you’re doing. Your relationship is for YOU to enjoy.

Please let me know if what I’m saying here made sense, and was helpful to you, and please feel free to send more questions!

Hi to whoever is here atm.😃May I ask: ✋🏻 & 🦷?

✋🏻 – Where do you like it most when S/I touches you? Where do you hate it?

This might sound odd, but as far as like goes, I enjoy when our hands touch. The both of us generally wear gloves or greaves, so those times when the flesh of our fingers entwine is quite intimate.

🦷 – Does S/I bite sometimes? Do you bite them, too?

You can’t stop Toko from biting people. Admittedly, I haven’t tried to stop him. And yes, I do bite back.

–Hubert

👃🏻 – What’s S/I’s favorite smell? How do you feel about it?Sending this to Doc Oct.-Redwingedwolves

Let us see.

Toko’s favorite smell is vanilla, which I very much enjoy myself. We share a love of baked goods. I have a particular cologne with notes of the scent that he likes very much.

Harry’s favorite smell is probably what he calls “man stink”; that particular combination of sweat, and deodorant, and aftershave etc. I can’t say I go out of my way to share that one with him.
