I hope I am not the only one who feels this painful feeling when you see your F/O (s/o) being shipped with another character that isn’t you.

Cause damn I feel it. It’s horrible. Help.

Would you guys kill me if I drew selfship with Fresh :/

*Me pulling out my aroace flag and waving it aggressively before anyone accuses me of speaking over aroaces even though I'm an aroace selfshipper because apparently that's fucking required.*

Selfshipping aroace characters isn't erasure, they still exist as aroace canonly and it's not the fandoms job to hold strictly to canon. It's not an individual artist's job to not DARE draw anything sexual or romantic of aroace characters.

"But it feels like erasure to see porn of an aroace character. We don't get to have aroace characters often, and I want to hold on tightly to their canon." That's not erasure, the character is still 100% canon aroace in their media. Stop trying to shame or put down people for you being uncomfortable.

Selfshippers (or shippers in general) are NOT responsible for keeping to canon. They are NOT required to leave aroace characters alone because "if you do you're erasing aroace representation." It's not erasure to make porn or romantic works with aroaces characters, because it's not the fandoms job to hold to canon. It's not aroacephobic to adore these characters in non canon ways.

Anyone telling you that you're committing erasure is bullshit and detractors know it, fandom policing to ensure no one touches the aces or the gays or any other canon sexuality that's not straight, it's fucking garbage.

ITS NOT FANDOMS JOB TO BE CANON. ITS NOT A SELFSHIPPERS JOB TO BE CANON. FANON FANART DOESN'T ERASE A CHARACTERS CANON.

Drawing aroaces as anything other than aroaces doesn't make you bad nor are you horrid for enjoying it. You're not erasing their canon because the canon still exists.

Again. That canon still exists, it's not erasure to do something non-canon with your selfshipping. You're not a bad person for going against canon sexualities.

And I'm absolutely going to continue smooching and cuddling and holding my aroace F/Os because it absolutely makes me irrationally happy to have canon aroace characters. <33333 and sometimes I wanna date and fuck em.

-Sincerely, an aged selfshipper that hates the rise of fandom purity policing

*aggressively waves my aroace flag as a selfshipper to ward off evil purity spirits trying to control fandom.*

Fictosex/rom is on the acespectrum btw thank you go drink water!!!!

[fruitypieq]

Made my own fictosexual/fictoromantic flag cuz honestly I don't like the most popular ones and the redesigns are amazing but I just don't want to have to credit every time I use it lol. Also wanted one that combined fictoromantic and fictosexual together, which is what this is :3

Might be lazy but the stripes don't really have any meaning its just colorpicked from a screenshot of a character I like <3 Really just wanted to make something that looks nice, to me, that I could use. I doubt anyone else is gonna wanna use it but you're free to if you want! Credit is cool but not required

Love struggles

[indulgentcosmos]

[selfship-confession-box]

Honestly, I feel so jealous of people who feel fulfilled just having a romantic f/o and don't desire real romantic relationships. I'm lonely and touch starved and desperately want to have a real partner, but it's like my brain keeps misfiring and accidentally falling in love with fictional people instead. I love my f/o's truly and deeply, but for me it feels like unrequited love. I love daydreaming about going on dates with them, I want to kiss them whenever I see them smile, and I imagine cuddling them when I'm falling asleep at night. But I'm very aware that it's all in my head, and they're not real, even though my feelings are real. It hurts. I'm monogamous and only have serious feelings for one person at a time, and that includes my feelings for my main f/o's. How am I supposed to find a real partner when I spend years at a time madly in love with these fictional people? It feels so lonely. I was 10 years old first time I cried because my crush wasn't real, and now here I am crying for the same reason (with a different character obviously) as an adult.

dude i'm not even a maternal person (so much that it's an inside joke in my family) but the thought of one of my f/os taking care of a baby... GOT DAMN DOES IT MAKE ME FLUSTERED. Just thought of it being early morning the 3 of you just waking up and your f/o laying on the bed with the baby (either yours or maybe even just babysitting) and your f/o rolls over to face the baby and softly kisses the baby's forehead making them both giggle... SIGN ME UP BRO.

AroAce selfshippers who still romantically selfship are valid! 💍

AroAce selfshippers who still sexually selfship are valid! 🔥

AroAce selfshippers who only selfship platonically are valid! ❤

AroAce selfshippers who only have familial selfships are valid! 👪

All AroAce selfshippers are amazing, and don't have to prove anything about their identities to anyone!

happy pride month (ft slightly blue bacon)

This is v stupid but sometimes I have like impostor syndrome with my art. Not that I think it isn’t good enough but when I look at, say my selfship art with Barnacles, I feel like I don’t put enough love into it. It doesn’t look as intimate and warm as I’d like it too. It feels, hollow and fake.

I’m not really good with anatomy that’s a no brainer but it feels like I could be doing better with expression, body language, etc. but hey at the end of the day, at least I’m not using AI lolol

Actually, I think this might have to do with me being AroAce, for some reason I think that since I’m AroAce I can’t feel romance or intimacy as strongly as other people. I feel like I’m somewhere I don’t belong. My writing isn’t great, that’s a no brainer

I know the self-shipping community doesn’t care if I’m AroAce and accepts me regardless but I don’t know if *I* accept myself. I know people on the Asexual/Aromantic spectrum are perfectly capable of feeling intimacy and expressing it.

But I feel like I’m not expressing it well enough. Like I said, I feel like I’m lying to myself and am wondering if I’m even capable of expressing intimacy, romantic or not. I feel like once again, I can’t give people the love they deserve.

(Maybe that’s why I feel like I don’t love Barnacles as much as I say I do lolol)
