The one who has "niche tastes" and "even more niche inserts and original characters"

Greetings and blessings, my name is Melvis and this is my designated self ship sideblog !

I am not very active, as of late, and I also do not consider myself to be a part of the community. I'm here to be abnormal about fictional characters and maybe meet other interesting folks with the same lifestyle.

If you like curated mixes, occasional traditional art, indulgent writing, and often incomprehensible text posts, you are in the right place.

I make stimboards / moodboards and drink builds for mutuals upon request.

I can provide track / song / EP / album recommendations as well-- just make sure to provide genre preferences and thematic elements in your request.

I am a young adult and prefer the company of other adults. You are free to follow if you a minor, but chances are I will not follow you back. Please keep in mind that I speak about mature topics, so you will have to be responsible in curating your online experience in regards to that.

If you interact with posts I specifically tag for minors to not interact with, I will block you.

I will honor tag requests if they are reasonable.

Enjoy your visit and stay awesome, possums.

Meetcute with your F/O at a dive bar- lighting a cigarette, buying a drink, sharing a basket of grub, watching a show, letting them know where the bathroom is and which one smells the least, laughing outside as someone cracks jokes for sound check

Made a giant dumping grounds based on the dive in the Undead Inside universe (and mine I go to afk !)

shoutout to the selfshippers who struggle to talk about their f/o(s).

shoutout to the selfshippers who find it hard to put things into words, and most of their thoughts are never realised in any way.

shoutout to the selfshippers that cannot ‘gush’ about their f/o(s) with no prompt, or that find it hard even with a prompt.

shoutout to the selfshippers that feel guilty about talking about their selfships for whatever reason that may be, whether you feel like you’re being selfish, annoying, or any other reason.

shoutout to the selfshippers that want to talk more about their selfships, but feel like they can’t, for any reason.

you are a valuable part of this community. you’re no ‘lesser’ for finding it hard to talk about things. it can be overwhelming. you are still incredible and your f/o(s) adore you so much <3

Having a bad time. Send me a super weird F/O or OC of your choice and I'll assign them a fragrance / track. Inform me of any hard nos in terms of notes / genres.

[melviships]

As an example, I'll use Morgan as I've been considering Emma as an F/O but it's... complicated.

I chose Sinking of the Ambassador due to the blood and smoke notes lending well to her scent as a smoking criminal defense lawyer in the story. The gunpowder relates to her case focus on a serial killer who uses an antique weapon. The sea water is a subtle nod to the thalassic theme of the city and its inhabitants.

As for a suitable track I went with No/Direction by trickpony

The soundtrack has a nice range thanks to the team using primarily free assets, but I'm drawn most to the synths and plug ins that are heavily trip-hop inspired.

I think they pair well 💔🗡

N/oyz has a new fragrance format that just so happens to be spelled like my H/i F/i Rush self insert and it makes me a bit giddy honestly

[melviships]

Prayers up in smoke, burnt wood, yeah

Like wine, age is just a gift of time

Love me till you can't, that's fine

I rotate on my own paradigm

No, it ain't sweet

Got your eyes on me

Pretty ain't what I be

'Cos it's only skin deep

Revelational

That's what I love

A space so dark

Wanna be my own God

People who enjoy sparring with their f/o: imagine calling out each other's technique in the heat of combat. Whether you're the kind to give a polite, simple reminder to widen their stance or a more brisk 'YOUR GUARD IS LOW, IDIOT!', it's yet another sign of how deeply you pay attention to one another, your bodies moving almost perfectly in-sync with one another as you exchange blows.

They aren't afraid to demonstrate exactly why you should take their advice, either. You often find your feet swiped from underneath you or your arms pinned against your back when you don't implement their suggestions quick enough. It can be frustrating sometimes, but you understand: you do the same to them every chance you get.

Whilst other people may not understand this dimension of your dynamic, there are two important things to understand: one, calling out each other's weaknesses in your fights means that you are the one to pick up on them, not someone that seeks to do real harm. These fights are a way of keeping each other safe—to ensure that when you are apart, the memory of each other is burned into your bodies, your reactions, every instinct that will keep you alive and bring you home unharmed. You will keep each other safe, no matter the distance or circumstance.

Two: pushing each other to you limit is thrilling. There is no-one else in the world who knows you better, who you trust more. You know how to push them to the brink without causing harm, and they've learned every trick up your sleeve and how to handle them (to your utter joy and deep, deep annoyance). It's not unusual for your sessions to end with both of you bursting into laughter before you collapse to the ground in exhaustion.

Nor is it a suprise when they make their way over to you, holding out a hand to help you up. When you finish catching your breath, lungs aching from equal exertion and laughter, you instantly take it. There's nowhere else in the whole world you would rather be.

Bonus: calling out each other's technique in real combat. Covering each others' weak points and openings whilst continuing to fight just as viciously as you would alone, if not more so. You're not each others weakness and it would be foolish to assume so: you are their strength, and they are yours. Witnessing you two fight together is beautiful and terrifying in equal measure.

Happy Electric Feel (Justice Remix) Friday

You don't know what you got ′til it's taken from you If you want what I got, you can have it And it's gold that he can′t hit the stage without me When there′s gold in his mouth makin' magic

I like the way he use his hands and his words I could be his new favorite think piece, favorite girl Anything to tell me that I′m your number one 'Cause I′ll be your groupie, baby

I, aromantic, follow this very devoted self shipper I like the art of on Twitter. I have only now realised that my profile picture is the character they self ship with … on top of an aromantic flag.

I can’t help but envision appearing in their notifications constantly like this and laughing

I need to write weirder

[melviships]

Very into the mundane but slightly adjacent, like making your spirit partner lift your hair so you can lather and rinse shampoo at only the roots- it is not the most exciting thing to read yet it remains compelling. You pass off the strands and once finished allow them back in just as easily as one would untie hair.

Also into the idea of suddenly being able to feel all of one's internal organs, as a way to show a long dead partner what it feels like when you have to manually perform the functions of your body systems. You become acutely aware of perastalsis and the strangeness of an involuntary movement becoming involved.

I think plurality above anything has honed our ability to feel various parts of a shared body. It's hard to explain how one hour the one manning the operation will have no sense of hunger and the next hour we can feel every single bit of food dissolving before slowly being ground down and absorbed.

I'd really like to explore the concept with F/Os that are able to bodyshare. It's not something I've seen, or if we have I certainly can't recall a depiction.

Finally made some much needed changes to our carrd ! We're trying to update other stuff as well. This blog is used pretty infrequently these as we've kept most things internal. And we also go outside regularly now to participate in the goth and punk scene, so we've neglected our one social media account.

wound tending is everything. unparalleled intimacy. let me care for you. let me touch the skin around your open flesh. let me stain my hands with your blood. let me get close and breathe in the same air as you and stare into your eyes for a few seconds too long. let me make you think of me every time you see the bandage, or scar
