How to Make a Self-Ship Playlist (when you're too afraid to ask)

hey there! you! yeah, you, lurking in the f/o tag, i see you. so you wanna make a self-ship playlist but don't know where to start? welcome to "would-they-listen-to-that" radio, ran by a self-shipping veteran! this post is a special request from an anonymous caller, so let's get into it! how do we make a self-ship playlist when we have zero idea what we're doing?

‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡ STEP ONE: BLORBO ROULETTE ‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡

The first step is to pick someone who catches your eye! Who's that fictional character lurking in the back of your mind? Who have you thought about snuggling with to distract yourself from the monotony of a three-hour geometry lecture? Whose tag did you take a "casual stroll" down last night? If you've got someone in mind from those questions alone, there's your target!

‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡ STEP TWO: DATING ‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡

No, not that kind of dating. I'm talking about historical dating! The time period your character comes from influences the music they listen to! Are they a vampire from the late 1980's? Try some early trad-goth bands and hair metal! Are they a magical girl from the early 2000's? Try some y2k girl groups and rnb! "But mod, what if my character is anachronistic, and their whole shtick is they act like a 1940's jazz singer yet they live in 2020?" If you somehow catapulted Ella Fitzgerald into the nowadays, don't be afraid to be anachronistic with your playlist! Billie Holiday can go right next to Billie Eilish!

‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡ STEP THREE: SOUNDING IT OUT ‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡

If your f/o has one, listen to their soundtrack for inspiration! What genres are present in their soundtrack? If they sing, in what style? What do they sing about? What kinds of music reflect their environment? If the character has any musical inclination or is a fan of certain musicians, take that into account! If your blorbo is a canon Weezer fan or sings along to Frank Sinatra, that gives a strong basis of what they listen to.

‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡ STEP FOUR: ULTRASOUND ‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡

That's right, you gotta look inside yourself. You're a character in this self-ship too. It takes two (at least) to tango! Find songs that are meaningful to you. What types of music do you enjoy? What songs do you believe are integral to your relationship with your blorbo? What songs describe your feelings towards them? If you have an enemies-to-lovers relationship, look into songs that have a similar theme. Don't be afraid to explore new music too! Who knows what you might find? There's always an opportunity to hear your new favorite song!

‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡ STEP FIVE: BE FREE ‧₊˚🖇️✩ ₊˚🎧⊹♡

Seriously, cringe culture is dead. If it's not, I'm giving you and your f/o hammers so you can kill it. You're allowed to have fun with fiction. The FBI isn't gonna swarm your house because you wanted to give Batman a kiss. It sounds cheesy, but the first (and only step really) to making a self-ship playlist is to have fun and be yourself. You don't need to listen to this post! I'm not the be-all end-all of self-shipping! Whether you take my advice is totally up to you! There really are no wrong answers here!

If you made it this far into the yap session, thank you so much for reading! I hope this advice serves you well! If not, that's okay too! As always,

thanks for dialing in!

Desde que se estrenó Beetlejuice Beetlejuice no he dejado de pensar en lo mucho que amo al personaje en todas sus adaptaciones. Me da mucho confort dibujarme con ellos, ¿Será que finalmente hago uno del Beetlejuice original?

Imagining having a stereotypical sleepover with my f/o! Both him coming to my place and me going to his place. There's tons of blankets and pillows. Both in comfy/sleepy clothes. Hot drinks for the both of us. We're watching one of our favorite movies/shows. Then we cuddle up in each other's embrace and fall asleep in each other's arms. Safe and content.

This is my happy place 💚

Where the damn Heather Chandler selfshippers at can we get a round of applause for the Heather Chandler selfshippers please

Guys…hear me out-

You could probably tell already but I more or so simp for the musical and cartoon versions of Beetlejuice. Movie BJ is ok tho i don’t vibe with him wanting to marry Lydia when she was a minor and obsessing over her 30 years later in the sequel(he had a picture of her when she was still a kid in his office).

At least with musical BJ he’s not actually attracted to her in that way and is never rlly creepy/gross towards her either(if you’ve seen the musical already then you’d already know that BJ was super horny for Adam and Barbra who’re both adults. Especially Adam).

And has referred to Lydia using names like “best friend” and “pal”. In the musical he did try to marry her but it wasn’t cuz of some weird attraction towards her but because he wanted to be alive/human again which he had to achieve by apparently marrying a living person as some sort of last resort I think.

Musical BJ even explicitly stated that “it’s not a real marriage. It’s a green card thing”. Still shouldn’t have necessarily tried to marry a minor but at least he’s not into Lydia in that way. Cartoon BJ is a sweetheart.

Apparently the animated series takes place in a different universe. I’m planning on watching it eventually but from what I’ve seen from clips cartoon BJ isn’t gross towards Lydia either and refers to her as his best friend multiple times. I adore their friendship so much it’s so cute.

Alex Brightman’s performance also had an effect on me.

*crawls out of a hole in the ground to put this here* hi guys I finally brought myself to make some selfship art that's not just a small sketch

I wanted to be Super Self Indulgent because. Well not only is my birthday tomorrow but I happen to share my birthday with Larry!!!! Which is fucking insane like out of all the days of the year, his release day was July 5th, 1987. He's become so special to me in the past two or so months and I love him so so much and I'm so so happy to share my birthday with him💙
