I love selfshippers who completely throw canon out the window in their ships. Like selfshipping with a character who’s canonly dead or rewriting 50% of the lore in the source to better suit their selfship.
I love selfshippers who stay as close to canon as possible, who weave their self insert right into the plot so seamlessly it feels like the story could’ve been written that way all along.
I love selfshippers whose self inserts look like they’d never belong in the universe at all and feel so out of place that everyone else in the source would be confused by their entire existence but that’s what makes them so iconic.
I love selfshippers who design the perfect self insert that blends in so well, fans of the series do a double take and wonder, “Wait, did I miss this character in canon?”
I love selfshippers who create AUs, headcanons, and redesigns of their f/os until they’re almost unrecognizable from the source material.
I love selfshippers who keep everything about their f/o exactly the same, except now their f/o gets to kiss them, and that’s enough.
At the end of the day, there’s no “right” way to selfship. Do what makes you happy, and know that me (and so many others) will be cheering you on, whether you embrace canon or completely rewrite it. 🩷
I just wanna spoil someone. I wanna stock my kitchen full of all their favourite snacks and treats. I wanna cook them their favourite breakfasts, lunch and dinners. I wanna tell them how good they are for eating so well. I wanna make sure they’re never hungry and always have yummy snacks on hand. Give forehead kisses and belly rubs. I just wanna show someone how much I care through food.
it’s been another year. whether it was enjoyable or not, f/o wouldn’t trade it for the world - because they got to spend it with you. they’re giddy over the idea of spending new years with you, and if you need it, they’ll absolutely reassure you that next year will be even better. they will make sure of it.
your f/o pressing a gentle kiss against your neck out of the blue. the two of you had just been relaxing when you found yourself trapped against their chest with their lips against your pulse. a slight hum from their throat vibrating against your skin as they pressed kiss after kiss against your skin. they only stop once they had their fill, and even then, that doesn't mean you're safe from them as their hands circle against your shoulder and slide up towards your neck once more.
"again?"
