Dear self-shipping community

WILL YOU PRESS THE BUTTON?

[canongf-archive]

this is your permission slip to be as self indulgent with your self ship content as you want. draw yourself the way you choose. give yourself the hair color you wish you had, make your eyes sparkle, let yourself wear outfits you don’t feel confident wearing in real life. write about the way the sun shines so beautifully on your face, romanticize your thoughts and opinions and your freckles and scars, talk about how your F/O fell in love with you as soon as they saw you. you don’t have to ‘tone yourself down’. it’s not conceited. you can be the boss. you can be anything you want. you can think of yourself as magical, stunning, breathtaking, and you can describe that in your content. create yourself with as much love and passion and adoration as you do your F/O. you have the right to. it’s okay. i’m signing the permission slip for you to do that. take it and run.

A Bit of a Stretch

Pairing: pain reliever

Summary: Ava helps me with my stretches. Brought to you by me wishing my morally questionable gf was here to lovingly bully me into doing my physical therapy 

“You’re limping.”

“I’m not limping!”

Ava raised an eyebrow.

“What? I’m not!” I insisted, but Ava didn’t budge.

“When was the last time you did your stretches?”

Uh oh. I found myself having some difficulty meeting her probing gaze. “I’m fine, really,” I said.

Ava tilted her head, leveling me with a flat, unimpressed look. “You didn’t answer my question.”

This time, I didn’t respond at all—nothing I could say would help my case. After a moment, Ava’s expression shifted into a sharp smile. She grabbed my hand and led me to the center of the room, still smiling, and sat down. I followed.

“Since you’re being so stubborn, we aren’t leaving until you do your exercises,” she drawled with a smirk.

“And if I make a break for it?”

“You really don’t want to find out.”

I chuckled, then sprawled out on the carpet, keeping a hold on her hand. “Looks like we’ll be here a while, then,” I said and heaved a sigh, my eyes sliding closed.

Ava leaned back, mimicking my starfish pose. “And what’s this one called? The lazy recline?”

“Something like that,” I mumbled. “It feels nice to lay down.”

“Hmm.”

I heard the telltale rustle of fabric against the carpet and opened one eye to peek over at Ava. She had rolled onto her side, facing me. She propped her head up on her elbow.

“You know, you would feel a lot nicer if you just did your stretches,” she said.

“I know,” I groaned. I closed my eyes again.

“If you won’t do your stretches, I’ll tell Scott and Hope. They can give you the good-cop-bad-cop routine. They’d probably bench you for a week,” Ava said.

She wasn’t bluffing. That threat hit home the way she knew it would. Having to do physical therapy was annoying enough, but being out of action for a whole week—I let out a frustrated puff of air. Between Ava’s stubborn insistence, Scott’s worry, and Hope’s strict approach, I was left with very little choice. I sighed, resigned to my fate. Stretching it was.

I kept my eyes closed as I began the first stretch, mentally counting down the seconds while pretending I didn’t know Ava was giving me a self-satisfied grin from my side. I rolled so I faced away from her to start the next move. When I was nearly finished, I caught sight of Ava. She was still smiling, with that proud look in her eye that never failed to give me butterflies. I fixed my gaze on the carpet instead.

Twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, done. Finally, I relaxed back against the carpet.

“See, that wasn’t so bad,” Ava told me.

I nodded. “Yeah, yeah. I’m done now. All stretched out.”

Ava’s grin was back in full force, and whatever annoyance I was feeling from having to stretch evaporated the way rain does in the heat of the summer sun. I was left basking in it. She scooted closer, closer, until our shoulders and knees knocked together, drawing a laugh out of both of us. I reached out and laced my fingers through hers. I tugged until her head was resting against my chest, rising and falling in time with my breath.

I pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head.

“Thank you. That sucked, and I know I’m a big baby sometimes, but you’re amazing,” I said.

Ava laughed at that, the sound dancing through the air around us and reverberating through me where our bodies touched.

“You made me do my treatment yesterday. Now we’re even.”

I wanted to wish all LGBTQ+ selfshippers - and especially black LGBTQ+ selfshippers - a happy Pride Month. Stay strong, stay safe and stay proud. Your f/os will always love you and support you!

Can I hear of your ship with Grace?^^

of course!! this caught me really off guard but in a good way akfjs

so, idk if you’ve seen dark fate, but grace is an augmented supersoldier sent back in time to protect the leader of the human resistance from the latest version of terminator. we meet at my workplace in this au, an airlines manufacturer, while grace, dani, and sarah are trying to get away from the terminator. i realize they’re running from the robot and I manage to distract it for long enough for them to nab a helicopter, and i go with them because now the terminator’s after me, too. oops.

as we’re on the run together, i get to know the team (and particularly grace). we both have a bit of a protective streak so if you’ve seen that meme where character a steps in front of a bullet for character b and then character b steps in front of character a and they keep going like that. that’s us lmao

since grace is from the apocalyptic future she hasn’t really felt safe or had anyone take care of her in a long time, so i like to think i’d make her feel safe enough to finally let her guard down and ask for help when she needs it. i also like to cook and bake for her a lot since she hasn’t had that kind of luxury since she was a little kid. on the other hand, i tend to be pretty non confrontational, and she helps me speak my mind and defend myself! we both bring each other a lot of peace uwu

also she doesn’t smile even once in canon which is just D: but I like to think i’d be able to make her smile every time i try (and sometimes when i’m not trying)

sorry for the essay that was this answer but, yeah, i love her a lot akejdj

[forgottenblankblog-deactivated2]

Okay so sitting in your f/os lap? 10/10 GOOD SHIT.

BUT

Have you considered having your f/o rest their head on your thighs as you play with their hair and they tell you about their day? Even if you spent the whole day with them, just to hear their perspective on it, to hear their thoughts and voice? Have you considered bending over and smothering them in kisses? Well you should. Cause I know I sure as Hell am. 💜💜💜

ways to help protestors if you are unable to protest

everybody has to do their part. as a reference, this was posted on 1 june 2020. if any links are broken or direct to a place they should not, please feel free to add on with corrections. if there is new information with better knowledge, please feel free to share. thank you.

1. donate

do not donate to shaun king. he has repeatedly collected money to “support” black people, but no one knows where the money is.

BAIL FUNDS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST)

note: washington dc and new jersey have cashless bail systems.

bail fund google doc (also includes lawyers for protestors)

national bail fund network (directory of community bail funds)

community bail funds masterpost by @keplercryptids

resistance funds (google sheets; lists bail funds around the country)

nationwide bail funds (split a donation to the bail funds listed on the linked page with a single transaction)

atlanta bail fund

brooklyn bail fund

colorado freedom fund

columbus freedom fund

houston chapter of black lives matter

liberty fund (nyc based; focuses services on people from low-income communities)

los angeles freedom fund

louisville community fund

massachusetts bail fund

minnesota freedom fund (as of may 30, 2020, they are encouraging people to donate elsewhere since they have raised enough money; as of may 29, 2020, they do not have a venmo, as some fraudulent accounts have been claiming, source)

philadelphia bail out fund

richmond bail fund

MORE PLACES TO DONATE

note: more links are listed in the masterposts below.

northstar health collective (healthcare and medical aid for people on the front lines)

reclaim the block (aims to redistribute police funding to help the minneapolis community)

twin cities dsa (provides fresh groceries and hot meals to people in minneapolis)

2. educate yourself

it isn’t enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.

note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.

resources and tools regarding racism and anti-blackness (google sheets compilation)

readings on society, racism, the prison system, etc. (twitter thread)

“where do we go after ferguson?” by michael eric dyson

official black lives matter website

3. give out supplies to protestors

people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.

water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)

snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)

masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors,  also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)

bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)

clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)

wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)

a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)

IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID

tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)

move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.

ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.

solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)

bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.

stop the bleed (youtube video by uc san diego health)

first aid in active shooting scenarios

making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)

how to apply pressure dressings

miscellaneous

adult cpr tutorial (youtube video by cincinnati children’s; think of “staying alive” by the beegees or “uptown funk”)

4. be a source of information

be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)

remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count.
