WHAT IS SELFSHIPTOBER ?! ₊ ˚

selfshiptober is a month-long event for selfshippers all about celebrating the spooky halloween season!

each day of october has two prompts assigned to it.these prompts are used to inspire you to create something for your selfship. you are free to either combine the two prompts together, create something for them separately, or choose just one to create for.

the prompts are broken up into two categories: "shippy" & "spooky", respectively! "shippy" prompts are traditionally, well, shippy! they lean toward fluff, intimacy, romance, and classic soft moments. "spooky" prompts are halloween-themed, often touching on things like horror, the supernatural, and sometimes even angst.

the two prompts offer a fun duality: some people live for the scary side of halloween, whereas others just want some cute scenarios to picture their ships in. this event offers prompts that cater to both audiences. if scarier themes aren't your thing, you can stick strictly to the soft prompts; if you live for halloween horror, however, you can dive headfirst into the spooky track!

feel free to combine both prompts for a single day, or just pick one. you can follow one specific theme for the whole month (such as only doing the "shippy" prompts, for example) or mix and match day-by-day. it's totally up to you!

one thing that differs this event from other monthly events, is that there is no formal "completionist" title, and no rewards for people who manage to crunch in all 31 days. in fact, the event does not technically close until new year's day. while the prompts themselves center around the 31 days of october, i do not expect everyone to grind out that many works in such a short amount of time. participants are not only allowed, but encouraged to post "late" works. i will continue to check the selfshiptober2025 tag and engage with new works until january 1st, 2026, making selfshiptober more of an "end of 2025" event than an october one. this is in order to discourage stress and burnout, and to promote a more relaxed event environment overall.

it is important to me that i emphasize this event's freedom of creativity. it is very open-ended; you are encouraged to make it your own!

Helloo :3

🤍 anddd ☀️ for the sleepy ask game for Butterfly Kisses? I hope you're having a good day/night ^_^

I hope you're having a good time zone too!

🤍 - do you or your f/o have a preference for how the bed is set up? (example: lots of pillows, lots of blankets, etc.)

Aglaea definitely likes silk sheets and pillow cases. Castorice usually will have a chimera plushie or two that they like to sleep with, and we'll have a couple of different blankets to make sure nobody's stealing all of them from the others lol. Aglaea doesn't mind sleeping without any curtains since light doesn't really impact her ability to sleep due to her being blind, but we have some curtains in our room so Castorice and I can sleep better

☀️ - who is more likely to nap during the day?

I don't really nap in general tbh, and my heart says Aglaea. She'll settle into the baths and end up relaxing so much that she drifts off for a little bit lol. And Castorice will be there with her sometimes too and fall asleep as well. Very cute :)

This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.

[solitaireships]

I'm having thoughts

[solitaireships]

Teenage Himeko fighting gang members 😭 I care about her

[solitaireships]

For the sleep game, 🤍 and 🍿 for Robven!!

🤍 - do you or your f/o have a preference for how the bed is set up? (example: lots of pillows, lots of blankets, etc.)

Answered here!

🍿 - you’re feeling up for a late night snack… quick! what’s the first thing that comes to mind that you would share with your f/o?

Honestly I'm not big on midnight snacks lol, but usually if I want a last minute snack before bed, it'll be something small. I like some dried fruit, so some dried strawberries perhaps

[solitaireships]

🪥🤍🎧 With your Robby? :)

#MyRobby

🪥- what do you and your f/os nighttime routines look like? separately and/or together!

Robby always ends up showering after work so he can try to wash the day off of him, so sometimes he'll do that before bed. But usually we'll brush our teeth together. Robby doesn't do a ton to get ready to sleep other than that, but Raven will usually put her hair up in a ponytail when she sleeps and will clean off any makeup she wore. Sometimes she likes to meditate before bed too. And then we finish off with some cuddles until we go to sleep :)

🤍 - do you or your f/o have a preference for how the bed is set up? (example: lots of pillows, lots of blankets, etc.)

I like to sleep with a couple of pillows, usually with silk pillowcases. Raven likes using weighted blankets too, but it's hard to find some good ones for two people, so instead she and Robby usually sleep under a quilt and a blanket together. Oh, and our pillows are always memory foam bcs I'm allergic to feathers lol

🎧 - do either of you sleep in silence? or do you prefer to have background noise/music/etc?

🛏️ + 💤 for Robven?

~ 🪻

🛏️ - are you or your f/o a restless sleeper who can’t stay still? or do you fall asleep and wake up in the same exact position?

Robby's a pretty solid sleeper, he moves a little bit in his sleep, but not a ton. I have restless leg syndrome tho, so I tend to move around a lot at night. Unfortunately he is getting kicked a lot by me as I move around in my sleep, but it's okay, he loves me anyway <3 And he can help to keep me from moving as much if he lays on top of me lol

💤 - do you or your f/o snore/make noises when you’re sleeping? if so, what’s the funniest thing they’ve said/noise they’ve made? vise versa?

Answered here!

[solitaireships]

💤 and 🎧 for the sleepy ask game for Robby!!

Oops I forgot to answer these this morning lol

💤 - do you or your f/o snore/make noises when you’re sleeping? if so, what’s the funniest thing they’ve said/noise they’ve made? vise versa?

tbh Robby should probably be tested for sleep apnea. He definitely snores just in general, but he has also startled Raven at night when he suddenly goes quiet (before he starts snoring again). I don't really know for sure if I snore or anything, but I'm assuming I don't bcs my sister definitely would have complained whenever we'd share a bed in hotels lol

🎧 - do either of you sleep in silence? or do you prefer to have background noise/music/etc?

Robby canonically likes to go to sleep with the TV on according to one of his girlfriends lol. Raven tbh finds that kind of distracting, but as their relationship goes on, she ends up getting Robby into the white noise stuff she likes. So a lot of the time, we'd go to sleep listening to some rain sounds
