[a-ship-unto-thyself]

intro

call me Ship

any pronouns, 20 yrs

I use f/b (fictional bond) in lieu of f/o, explained here and here. I also use the word genpal!

I keep my f/bs pretty anonymous, but they're platonic/queerplatonic and familial

I reblog a mix of selfship related stuff (it's largely unorganized and untagged)

I might post whump related things occasionally

#ships in the night 🌊 - general catch-all tag

🍁 - my parental genpal

💉 - my qpr/misc. genpal

got a coupon for torture call that a yeowcher

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

my body is a machine that turns brain chemicals into vivid imagined scenes of violence and horror, followed by vivid imagined scenes of comfort and softness

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

seeing some of my posts breach containment is funny because people are making it romantic which is FINE whatever if you wanna interpret it that way but it's so funny seeing people in the notes take this romantic reinterpretation of the post and say stuff like "I know this post is romantic but I also like imagining (scenario) platonically!!" and it's like "!!!!!this is your post!!! this is our post!!!!! i made this post for you!!!!! it just got telephoned into being romantic but it's ours I made this for us!!!!!"

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

i literally made up new words for platonic selfshipping spaces because there was no room for us!!!!!! it completely tanked my visibility since I wasn't using the popular tags but I didn't care!!!!!!!! PLEASE let yourself be invested in platonic things!!!! please don't be meek about it!!!!!! please be weird and loud about how much you like friendships and working relationships and familial relationships and strangers and tenuous allies and parents-children and siblings and mentors-mentees and caretakers-wards and other nuanced unlabelled not-romantic dynamics!!!!!!!

selfshipping is kind of like having a disease of the brain and it creates psychosomatic symptoms of being mauled by a bear. but also. it's Very fun.

genuinely important to give yourself time to rotate blorbos in your brain. especially at the end of the day. like give yourself an hour before bed dedicated to strictly your blorbos and thinking about them. it's amazing.

*mashing two blorbos together like dolls* now hug *continues mashing them together* now dissect your relationship as something that cannot be easily identified within an amatonormative framework *smacks them on the ground* now SUFFER

taps microphone. comfort character whose gaze softens whenever they look at you. walks away from microphone.

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

my comfort character wouldn't hug me or tell me it's all gonna be okay But they would kinda clap me on the shoulder and nod and their eyes would dart to the side awkwardly because they don't really know what to say. occasionally they would mumble something akin to "oh no" and furrow their eyebrows Especially Strongly to show that they do not approve of whatever I'm sad about. my comfort character knows what facial expressions are and how to use them. yay.

thinking about 🍁... as usual. all in a day's work.

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

i love my comfort character #mycomfortcharacter hey no wait don't look at all the bad shit they've done stop

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

couch napping with your f/b. not even necessarily together but like,,,, they're in the armchair snoozing away, you're dozing laying down on the sofa, maybe the TV's on, cars go by outside your window, maybe one of you wakes up before the other and drapes a blanket over them, maybe you nudge them awake because they're snoring too loud, maybe they try to sneakily change the channel so they can watch something else, maybe maybe maybe hehehehehehehe

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

comfort character that looks at you like you're the most important person in the world

[a-ship-unto-thyself]

give your comfort character a capri sun THAT'S AN ORDER!!!!!!!!!
