Hear Me Out, Shippers: AmiFarrah/Farrahnah*

Submitted by: @mysaldate (Submitter also created the above ship name, and indicated that they are still choosing a ship name)

Characters: Farrah (Dislyte) x Aminah (Dislyte)

Snappy Ship Pitch: Secondary personality shoved into primary's body, Aminah is a protector and fighter while Farrah is a caretaker and researcher. Farrah's suicidal tendencies are tempered by Aminah while Aminah's jaded personality slowly mellows thanks to Farrah's influence.

How much they have in common, on a scale of 1 to 9: 7

Inspiration behind the ship:

I like me a good selfcest so I was already inclined to ship them but they are so different and provide a very refreshing take on many issues. Aminah being harsh on Farrah when she's running away from her past while at the same time protecting her and Farrah actually responding positively to it is one of my favorite things about them.

Why it’s underrated and how it’s overlooked:

Too many antis in the fandom branding everything problematic and too many self-diagnosed teenagers claiming they are this or that and therefore mentally toddlers. Dislyte fandom also isn't big to begin with and well over half of it are gay furries (no shade, just stating fact).

In-Depth:

About Farrah:

Farrah went through awful trauma since her childhood. First, she lost her father when the Miracles arrived, then she and her mother lived in extreme poverty as refugees. Finally, Farrah's mother agreed to give Farrah over to a shady "orphanage" in exchange for money and with hopes it would be better for her that way. However, the "orphanage" ended up being an underground lab that ran human experiments, trying to forcibly infuse divine powers into children. Farrah was their great success, so they later decided to infuse her with a second power. During this time, Farrah became incredibly depressed, writing and rewriting a will for her inevitable death. She was also very lonely, being the only success of the experimentation as far as she knew and watching the other experiment subjects dying or being discarded. When she was infused with a second power, she grew a second head and developed a separate consciousness, Aminah. Aminah would be awake when Farrah was asleep and vice versa but Aminah also takes over when a trauma is triggered. Thanks to this, Farrah was able to escape the lab. After escaping the lab, Farrah joined the Esper Union and despite her awful self-esteem and terrible lack of social skills, she managed to make some friends. Aminah is still her closest one though. She started a diary to write into so that Aminah may know what happened while Farrah was in charge. Farrah also still writes a new will every day.

What she wants in a relationship:

She doesn't feel like she deserves a relationship or even thinks she could handle one, most likely. She barely can believe she has friends.

What she needs in a relationship:

Someone to ground her, to keep her focused on the future. She doesn't respond well to overly kind treatment and needs to sometimes be harshly reminded of reality and that she can't hide away from it forever – all the while knowing she has someone to lean on when things get tough.

About Aminah:

Aminah has little in terms of backstory as she only came into existence as Farrah's second self (though they deny this and keep insisting they're separate people). She is usually mean and sort of brash but cares about those around her, especially Farrah and the other experiments. She does what needs doing and doesn't mind setting things on fire first and asking questions later. Her soft spot for Farrah doesn't mean she'll let her do whatever though. Aminah's primary focus is on keeping Farrah safe and if she has to force her into treatment or facing her trauma for it, she will do it – at least if not doing it would endanger Farrah.

What she wants in a relationship:

Aminah doesn't seem to want a relationship, mostly as she's most focused on Farrah. Even with friendships, she's not interested in them unless the people trying to befriend her are Farrah's friends first.

What she needs in a relationship:

Someone to calm her snarky personality and balance it out as well as someone to conserve the energy she uses up. Aminah also needs someone to protect, much as she's unhappy to admit it.

How they would be good for each other:

Aminah helps Farrah face her issues at a pace that won't overwhelm her but also holds her accountable when she shuts out too much. On the other side, Farrah is the "main body" so to speak but even beyond that, she understands Aminah like nobody else and not only cherishes her but also explains her attitude to others so that they may come to like Aminah too.

How they would be bad for each other:

Farrah may end up relying too much on Aminah's protection, though I doubt Aminah would really let that happen. However, I don't know if Farrah could stand up to Aminah if Aminah's attitude ever got too harsh on someone other than Farrah.

Dealbreakers:

They don't really have a choice since they're stuck in the same body lol. But I think they'd be able to reconcile almost anything given how deeply they understand each other.

How they met:

Aminah manifested after Farrah was infused with a second divine power during the experiments. We don't have many details on it as it is hinted that both of their memories of the event are quite fuzzy, likely due to the trauma it inflicted. Farrah still blacks out every time she is confronted with anything to do with the lab and Aminah needs to take over for her.

How it would play out:

I don't have any too clear an idea. Honestly, anything works for them so long as it doesn't change who they are as characters.

Hot Take: It's weird that you never see any Homura Akemi selfcest/mirrorshipping. Sure MadoHomu is overwhelmingly popular, and selfcest tends to be way more common with male characters for some reason, especially Tumblr Sexymen, but think about it.

Homura is a time traveler, a dimension hopper, and there's plenty of fan content (and even official stuff via magia record doppels) of magical girls existing simultaneously with their witch. Not to mention humanized witches.

Homura not only has Homulily though but there's also Glasses Homura and Badass/Classic Homura which could easily function similarly to onceler/greedler and similar which I've seen happen in multiple fandoms, as well as a second progression of Badass Homura to Devil Homura which even better fits such a dynamic. And there are multiple Homura's in the trailer for the new movie, and I think I've heard Homura Tamura had a bunch of alternate Homura's as well?

Regardless, when you think about it the absence is very surprising regardless of one's stance on such ships.

The mission had gone perfectly, now with Nat and her new LMD back on route to the safe-house.

They finally had a moment to examine Stark's handiwork. Just how accurate was this copy’s body, anyway?

I need a revival of sweet ride (Turbo x King Candy). Self shipping is the ultimate tumblr sexyman way.

Personally not a huge fan of Sweet Ride, CALL ME A HATER OKAY !!💔 ship him with felix there's another man right there /LH Genuinely though do whatever you want, its completely harmless (if not a little cursed) After all there's nobody he loves more than himself 😭

I do however enjoy selfshipping where you ship him with an OC or yourself (confusing name i know)

ALL GOOD! my gf sent em to me but they’re still so. oughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. trust me i have already said some very nasty things. i can’t even think of anything normal to say

[nashdoesstuff]

really unpopular opinion but dreamcest is actually interesting in retrospect

because in my opinion the only person who can actually understand dream’s troubles is themself

nobody in the entire multiverse is ever going to feel the pain they felt or the loss they suffered unless they’d gone through something similar. even a character like ink or cross isn’t justifiable because their trauma didn’t happen at SIX FUCKING YEARS OLD

yeah, basically— jumping into what pretty much is a multiversial war at the mental age of 6 is kinda wild and saying that people are going to easily understand that is even crazier

picture this: dream just sees another them and they’re like “holy crap you understand me” and everything unfolds from there

I love Kurama selfcest but for the love of god and all floras in the 3 worlds, at least tag Shuichi as an OC if he's gonna be a separate identity from Kurama because at that point, it's not selfcest anymore if they are different characters. Also, it makes it easier to avoid non-canon characterizations of Kurama because honestly, Kurama is just never human. He's just NOT Shuichi if Shuichi is more than just an alias for him. There aren't even 2 souls in there, there's just Kurama and his fake ass "human" facade. If I ship Kurama with himself, he is practically fucking his clone or an alternate universe version of himself that happened depending on whatever porn logic plot I'm having. I'm just not interested in treating Shuichi as a new character especially because I don't like a human Kurama.

Saw a Ben/Albedo shipper talking about how disgusting Ben/Vilgax is. Y'all really will bend over backwards to justify any of your problematic ships, huh?
