About the Blog

What is this blog about?

This blog is about Self Shipping and different guides and ideas for people who Self Ship! I hope to provide resources for different flags, F/Os, and ideas to celebrate with your Other/s. I'll also be posting positivity and reblogging posts that I feel add to Self Ship culture.

Who is the Admin?

This account only has one admin so far and that's me, Ace. You can call me Ace, Mod 🐇, Mod A, or a nickname if you'd like. I use He/They pronouns as well as some neos! You can find more about me ➾here.

What is the DNI/Beliefs the blog has?

This blog is Anti-ProShip, though I'll not be participating in discourse. I believe it is unmoral to ship real life people, minors and adults, etc . This blog is also against any TERFs, Rad Fems, and Exclusionists. I don't stand for queerphobia, racism, islamophobia, anti-semitism, and the like. While I can't stop people from interacting, I will block you if I feel that you violate the DNI.

How often do you post?

This blog is run by only one person so I don't have a set schedule or anything. I'll try to post regularly, and I hope to keep this blog active for as long as possible.

Where is the header/PFP from?

I found both of the photos on Pinterest but I think the artist @/illusbyjo is on Twitter. Credits to them, the art is adorable!

About Pro Shipping

What is Self Shipping?

Self shipping is a lot like normal shipping, but instead of pairing two characters together, people pair themselves, or their "self-inserts," with a character that they like. These ships can grow to mean a lot to the person and the character, AKA Fictional Other, may be a partner, parental figure, friend, or sibling to the person/self-insert.

Why do people Self Ship?

People Self Ship for a variety of reasons. It can be for comfort, as someone feels like pairing with their F/O helps them deal with troubling things. It can also be for fun as someone may use Self Shipping as a hobby and get joy from pairing themselves with their favorite characters. Someone could also have a totally different reason for their Self Shipping, either way they feel a genuine connection to their F/O.

Does your Self Insert have to be exactly you?

Nope! Someone's Self Insert, or "S/I", can be their true self, their idealized version of themself, completely different, or anywhere inbetween. Some people give their S/I's different names, appearances, and characteristics than their IRL self and that's okay!

Is Self Shipping the same as Pro Shipping?

No, Pro Shipping is the belief that it is okay to ship minors with adults and family together because it's "fiction." Self Shipping is shipping a S/I/yourself with someone appropriate. It is frowned upon in the community to "age down" your Self Insert or ship romantically with a minor when you're an adult. A majority of the community does not accept Pro Shippers and this blog doesn't either.

How many F/Os can you have?

You can have as many F/Os as you want. There are people with just one F/O and people with dozens, both are valid. Some people who have multiple F/Os have a "primary" Other who they prioritize above the rest, however that isn't a necessary component.

Can you marry an F/O?

People may fictionally marry their F/O and have a little ceremony or just do something special to commemorate the occassion. While I don't believe it is legal to lawfully marry them, you can call them your wife/husband/spouse and do something fun to celebrate. :)
