shoutout to selfshippers who use literally themself! i know it may be silly to shout this out because there's either more or less "personal" selfshippers out there, but i personally don't see a lot of that. of course, i'll never hate on someone who doesn't use "literally" themselves, but i feel like ocs tend to be more popular or widespread! which is totally cool and great and i am in you guys' corner forever, but i wanna shout out people like me. because sometimes i end up feeling lonely or a little out of place or awkward because i kinda really outgrew my oc/cc phase. it gets a little awkward sometimes and i get those lingering fears of being judged or that how i choose to selfship would be looked over as opposed to an oc— again, that's not to diss anyone, it's more of a silly worry that others may be able to relate to.
shoutout to the selfshippers who it's "them" to every detail— from their personalities, to their appearance, to their preferences, to their flaws and "issues" (re: something the selfshipper struggles with). to the people who selfship using themselves because they themself want to feel special, that using themself in their most accurate form or presentation makes them feel more loved. you are always valid, and your f/o will always love you.
shoutout to selfshippers who portray themselves down to the very detail. that being hairstyle/hair-type, their appearance in terms of their body whether that is their weight and being big or small. or maybe you're a hairy femme or a smooth masc. big applause to selfshippers who get down little details like markings, how they smile, their eye/nose/lip types. much love to the selfshippers who more or less embrace "themself" in their portrayals.
shoutout to the selfshippers who selfship using themself, but it may not be super 1:1 of how they present themselves irl, and yet, it's still them! maybe it's dressing yourself in a style you can't do/have no interest in doing/can't afford to doing. maybe it's you with alternative hairstyles opposed to the one you always have irl/hairstyles you can't always do. maybe you have an alternative hair color! to selfshippers who add on body modifications despite not having them irl because of any reason despite you always wanting one. shoutout to the selfshippers who, it's more or less them, but maybe their portrayals use their different names the selfshipper themself uses. that it's basically them, just under a different name. shoutout to selfshippers who, it is them, but they're not human! maybe it's a fursona, monstersona, etc— them in a different form!
shoutout to the selfshippers who use literally themselves to cope. be it handling their trauma, disorders or disabilities, illnesses— people who want comfort for those things and implement them more personally onto this accurate presentation of themself to feel that love from their faves. that they don't use a different portrayal for these personal struggles because maybe they want to imagine their fave loving them, not some stand-in or someone else that isn't them.
shoutout to selfshippers who use literally themself because they are saddened by the idea of their fave loving someone that isn't them. that the idea of them liking someone who isn't them because of how they look/act makes them feel really upset. maybe you were cast aside for that. that selfshipping using their literal self makes you feel appreciated beyong belief. that it might actually help you grow to appreciate yourself more and maybe even get better in places where you struggle— maybe using yourself helps you get better mentally or physically of emotionally.
there may be so many other reasons, but these were the ones that came to mind. if you have another reason, you're always very valid. your f/o wouldn't love you less for being you in your most "true" state, as we'll say. they wouldn't prefer you over some heavily altered version of yourself or how people would idealize you. they wouldn't prefer if you used an oc over you. they love 1000%, and nothing will change that— as long as you're happy.
“Fighting that leads to sex” this “fighting then making out” that
Fighting that leads nowhere. Fighting fully clothed, then dragging our tired asses out for a strong drink and some trash diner food. Not talking much. Maybe one of us breaks the silence and says ‘man, I kinda liked that’, and then the other says ‘shut up, jackass’
Ohh my god I haven't felt this intensely for a character in a looong time. I feel absolutely ridiculous. I'm ranting on Snapchat and to my moots on discord it's getting BAD
I can't stand him. I love him so much I actually can't look at him. It effects me physically like I have to kill him with hammers immediately. I have a smash a barrel . over his head

Backstory:
Ian Cantation was not born into the kindest of circumstances; orphaned from birth, his mother dying not long after delivering him and his father not in the picture, the boy was instead raised in an underfunded and rundown orphanage in the coastal town of Port Glasgow, Scotland. His early years were marked by hardship and intense loneliness, enforced in part by bullying from older boys and part by his then undiagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder. Distant from his peers, Ian instead found solace in the books of the orphanage's library, taking particular interest in the great works of Gothic authors like Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stephenson and Bram Stoker.
At the age of seven, however, his life would change dramatically. During his latest harassment by an older boy, Ian struck the bully; but to both their surprise, bright tongues of fire shot from his hand as it made contact, burning the other boy's arm badly. But this accidental maiming also attracted the woman who would be his saviour.
Less than a week after the incident, a mysterious woman by the name of Yesenia Martinez arranged to adopt him, effectively rescuing the young Ian from an increasingly hostile environment inside the orphanage. Mexican by birth, Yesenia also arranged for Ian to immigrate to the United States with her; but rather than travel there by any conventional means, she instead teleported them in, making the truth of her clear to him.
Yesenia was a magician, one of many across the world, and she had recently purchased land in the city of San Diego on which she might build a home for herself and her son. And build she did, erecting a vast and strange house that was many times larger on its inside than on its outside. It was here that Ian learned of his own magical potential, where Yesenia tutored him in both normal subjects of education like mathematics and the English language and the study and practice of the arcane arts, nurturing his power as a magician while also developing him as a child.
When Ian was old enough, and with the reluctant consent of his adopted mother, he enrolled in F.J. McKinley Middle School, where he made his first and tentative steps towards forming a social life outside of his home, as well as receiving a properly structured education, allowing Yesenia to focus more on tutoring him in the ways of the metaphysical arts outside of school hours.
Ian was a quick study of magic, learning at such a rate that surprised even the seasoned Yesenia. By the age of eleven, he decided to put his skills to, in his words, "better use"; creating a makeshift costume, he went out to fight crime as San Diego's newest superhero, Kid Wizard.
His short tenure as Kid Wizard marked some of the happiest years of Ian's short life; he used his abilities to save countless lives, worked with other heroes like War Woman and the Teen Team, and likewise flourished in his civilian life upon entering Joaquin Rodriguez High School. But this happiness was cut short when, in the latest of many fights against a minor villain, Ian's arm transformed mid-punch, and the resulting blow hit hard enough to almost completely decapitate the villain, killing them instantly. This change, brought on by the tumult of his maturing to adulthood, revealed to him the truth of his heritage; Ian was half-demon, and his father was none other than Satanas, a powerful demon and the personification of mankind's wrath.
What followed was a long and difficult process of self-realisation, culminating in him switching to a costume that blended his human and infernal roots, as well as the addition of a fabric demon companion (affectionately named 'Cloak') charged with protecting and assisting Ian. With both the powers of Hell and his skills as a magician on his side, Ian protects the world, and the worlds beyond, as the Matchless Magic Man!
