#when i draw something thats not selfship art

[delusionaltoma]

An award winning smile!! :)

[skenpiel]

this is fine Ive drawn before so im not even scared or embarrassed

[thatonecatcat]

alright im bored,,,

TAKING REQUESTS!

yeah you heard me,, im actually going to fight art block for once

guidelines for the requests, since some of yall just CANT KEEP IT IN 😭

rule 1: do not ask for any nsfw drawings

rule 2: ship arts are allowed unless i find the prompt/ship a bit odd (as in age gap is too big, or you’re requesting something that isn’t exactly okay, etc etc.)

rule 3: ocs are allowed! so are selfships but please stay on the guidelines ☠️

rule 4: if the askbox says that requests are closed, its either because im working on a lot of requests, or im just a bit tired also please do not send requests when it says that

thats mostly it!

note: please know that these are not commissions, they are completely free! however you can only request drawings in my ask box.

the art i might draw looks like this, for refference

also i just had to use BERET as an example bc i love her

[the-redacted-of-all-time]

IM DONE OH MY GOD

IM DONE!!!! IVE FINISHED IT!!

LOOK

DISSONANT MELODY IN MANIFOLD GARDEN!!!! WHOO

im actually really proud of the lighting in this one!! this one focuses more on naib himself, unlike the og one i made a couple months back.

extra details- like particular design notes, references, ect + extra for followers utc

in my last post, i spoke abt ‘slightly’ altering his design- basically i just decked his ass out with sierpinski triangles, because i can.

some of the redesigns, going into more depth:

his (button) eyes, in which is inspired by a sierpinski triangle in spherical geometry, projected stereographically.

here is the video link for the inspo of the idea.

his lace and symbols (?) on his hood and back. tbh the lace was more because i couldnt see shit on my ref so i just redesigned it altogether. the symbol on his hood simply js has a few extra add-ons, in which being a couple more squiggles and before mentioned triangles

symbol for the hood…

& the lace on his back.

if im not mistaken, his scars at the corners of his mouth were supposed to be hyperbolic geometry triangles instead of spherical geometry unlike his eye, but i didnt know how to make it work properly, so i… gave up…

anyways, ever since this skin came out, i had been meaning to redraw my MG (Manifold Garden) CoC but w/ DiMe (Dissonant Melody, not using DM as tht could be confused w/ jojo’s skin), and ive finally done it! hooray!!

here’s the original piece, the one with CoC instead, drawn Aug 31, 2024, cus i get it if you dont wanna scroll down for the next 15 business days js to find it in my posts.

once again, similarly to last time, i had drawn over an image and added naib inside. heres the linkie for the source of the og image:

——— > 4️⃣2️⃣ (oh my god??!! is that the answer to life, the universe, and everything?!/ref).

besides that, to my followers/friends, im gonna go on hiatus for a lil while. a week or so, nun to worry abt. maybe its even a partial hiatus, where i post silly doodles at times. who knows? im fr when i say i dont

truth be told, sometimes im scared that all i have to or can post is full masterpieces (or what id like to consider them as) of my art, or post only works of fandom such as idv. thus so, im practically limiting myself a lot. it doesnt help that i do in fact have sonas and ocs tht i love to draw, selfshipping art, and even detailed doodles of ‘something yet nothing at all’. im js not posting them, because i feel like they arent up to par with mine or other’s standards, or they js wont get traction, simple.

so im currently thinking… what if i did? what if i did post them?? im thinking tht i shld be able and want to draw and post things for my own sake, at my own time, instead of drawing for the sake of posting and fame instead. so i suppose from now on, youd still see naib, dw guys, but ill draw and talk abt other things as well. thats right fellas, a personality outside of “ooughhh naib…. oooo. lourve him smm.. mm,, naib ubedar,,,”/ gen, lh, encapsulating last 2 paragraphs

[ornithic]

is it your birthday today or coming up?? either way happy birthday!! i was actually thinking about you before seeing your posts abt that. i think you definitely should try to do something to make yourself feel good, even if it’s a small thing!

sorry if this is weird, but i often see your posts and wish there was something i could say to help you feel better. this is definitely the understatement of the year but i know dealing with depression and shitty living situations is really exhausting. i also know that it will get better and sometimes all u can do is wait it out until youre in a place where you can fix it. it might all feel pointless but i hope easy times come to you soon! your existence is important and impacts people in ways you might not know. i also hope youre able to draw again soon—not to sound selfish, but i really like your furry art, and obviously it makes you feel better when you’re able to make art!

anyway thats all, i just wanted to leave some encouragement and wish you a happy birthday! 💖

thank you so much!!! i'm not rlly sure how to respond to this besides saying thank you, but i appreciate it <3

i'm also happy to hear that you enjoy my furry art! i've been drawing more humanoid stuff lately and it's for selfshipping, but i do have some furry related things that i've been working on (+ thinking about) that i feel vvry Excited about

[byakuyasdarling]

saw your silly post and realized i was thinking of something sort of similar, so i hope you don’t mind if i were to share a few of my thoughts :)

anyways, i personally really enjoy seeing older (technically a good chunk of users are older than me but thats just bc i’m literally 15 so like... unsurprising) people on tumblr. i feel like theres always that “isn’t it weird to do this at my age?” in that back of my mind so when i see like 30 yr olds on tumblr posting essays about their faves or 21 year olds lovemailing their f/os or 17 yr olds being like ya i still sleep with my plushies! it feels very... nice? calming.

i sort of worry about like wtf do i do when i turn 18?? is that too old?? what if i still want to self ship at 30? what if i want to wear cute dresses even in my 40s? is that too old? but then like i go on tumblr and see everyone else doing Just that and its soo...! nice. it reminds me that age doesn't matter, you can have silly blogs and post fics and draw even if you're like 27. is there really an age limit on like.. enjoying life and having hobbies???

i don’t mean to make it about me or anything but i just wanted to remind you that there is no such thing as being too old to enjoy the things you like!! so long as its not interfering in anything or hurting anyone, why not indulge a bit? anyone who tells you otherwise literally needs to live a little, enjoy things & go out more 💀 sending a thousand seals their way as we speak...!

18 is also still incredibly young, you shouldn't be shamed by anyone for liking byakuya and drawing silly ship art where you two kiss. why does it matter what you do anyways .. !!

Thank you so much, I’m so happy to hear that! I really love seeing older selfshippers too <3 a lot of people I see in the selfship community are older than me, and I really look up to the fact they still do this.

I don’t know what the big deal is. I see older women (particularly) froth over actors all the time, so why can’t I love a fictional guy? I know it’s not the same… my dad says it’s “a bit full-on”, “it was okay when you were 17”, and I fear a lot of my family has that sentiment. I know they really love me and care for me but you know. My psychologist aunt thinks it’s cute and good for me though, so I’m taking her word. I think it’s good for me too.

I think it comes from the perspective of “you can have someone real!” My family somehow thinks I’m the biggest catch ever, and probably wants to see me happy. But a real man won’t make me happy right now. Of course I want a boyfriend, but I literally can’t be a good partner in my mental state. But I’ve said this a lot already.

In Australia, at least in my family but it is prominent see the culture of where I live, is that 18 = adulthood. You must know how to be an adult and act adult at this point. It’s bullshit. Even developmentally you are not an adult. I really agree with the age of 21 being “adulthood” because you’ve actually had real experiences in the real world at that point.

Also people who wear cute clothes and cuddle with plushes are so based. I think a lot of people thinks it’s cute though from what I observe (in our generation).

6, 8, & 13 ~ rebeccaselfships

hiii i definitely didnt forget i reblogged this ask game entirely hahaha

talk about any special/memorable moments you had with your F/O(s) this year! Which stood out to you the most?

i'd say probably the BIGGEST moment so far was my engagement to jes... the wedding to whom i still have not planned not because i started getting executive dysfunction for directly after finishing the playlist and before drawing any wedding art hey let's just say we're enjoying our engagement ok? also. also the jes letter that one anon sent me. i think about that like 2x a day probably. there were a lot of special moments though!!

in which ways did your F/O(s)/selfshipping help you this year?

selfshipping has helped me SOOO much since i started in that it's basically tricking ur brain into self love i mean think abt it... these little guys we love so much, everything we imagine them saying to us and doing for us and all the love we imagine them giving us is coming from us... and also at least in my experience, so many of the characters i love so deeply i love because there is something in them (and it can be either a talent or a shortcoming) that i see reflecting myself, self recognition through the other yadda yadda you know. and also being in the community in general has helped me reach out to people thru a common interest i would neeeever have had the social skill to talk to otherwise, which is nice :-) and i love learning about other ppls f/os even (especially!!!) when theyre from smth i have NO clue about so thats nice. but a specific moment i think is when i developed my lil crush and decided to f/o eddie when i was sick/quarantining with covid. isolating like that was actually a huge toll on my mental health, i'm a person who loves solitude and privacy in large amounts but forced solitude is really something else. WAY too much time alone with my thoughts, not being able to really do anything but watch youtube videos and draw to take my mind off it, not to mention i was in a pretty big fight with my irl bestie at the time and that was... not great for my mind to keep going back to while isolated in my room. i really do think the 2 people that got me through it were my sister (who kept me company digitally from the living room the entire time!!) and eds.

if you’ve had any F/O(s) for longer a year, did you find out anything new and surprising about them this year? Did this change your relationship change in any way?

hmmm probably cliffie is the first example that comes to mind, there was so much character development in the past ... 2 seasons i think? that came out this past year. we learned so much more abt how his mind works and his insecurities and i think it only made me love him more. poor guy is so flawed but hes trying soo hard and he loves his family soooo much and he wants to fix what hes done :( love him.

ty so much for sending rebecca!!!! i hope you had a good new year's with mirko and hawks and umbreon!!! feel free to send me anything u got to do to celebrate if you want! :o)

end of the year ask game!! send anything u want. send unrelated things. send f/o gush. send memes. send me YOUR answers to prompts idc.

[hydrxnessa]

ill try my best to explain, its such a headache just thinking about it tbh

there's multiple dramas actually, all on twitter and discord. stay away from tiktok because they're so harsh over there.

zeal's already addressed the way he handled the deaf mode/how he treated hard of hearing people, but basically he was more concerned over hearing people abusing the feature instead of actually making the game more accessible to the hoh people who needed it more

like i understand where they're coming from but when actual hoh people give feedback and they don't listen, rather bashing them over it, something's definitely wrong here. definitely could've handled it in a much better way, but rn its been addressed by zeal and deaf mode's been added in.

zerum's drama is actually insane to me imo. like the community (specifically the tiktok/twt fandom) were bashing her over prohibiting any selfship art with sebastian completely ... which is not what she meant at all. all she meant was to not post any selfship art of sebastian ON THE PRESSURE DISCORD. anywhere else is fine. for some reason people were so upset over that. over her setting boundaries.

but of course, people would come and twist her words to view her in a bad light. and its the way people were like 'oh but they should've expected this, people really like sebastian, why would you try and stop something thats inevitable in a fandom space'. which is such a self entitled mindset, i feel so bad for zerum. she got sent multiple death threats over wanting to be comfortable in her space, and setting boundaries for herself over a character she made.

new update changed sebastian's model to have a wedding ring on his third arm, and also introduced new voicelines. and people were claiming the devs were changing his character by making him meaner to .. deflect .. the selfshippers ....... do u know how insane that sounds ??? the meaner voicelines are literally so in character for sebastian (sadly they removed the heyy oomfie voicelines), but ofc the community wants to twist the change to villainise the devs who literally own and made the character. utterly insane

there were also rules (again, on the pressure discord) where the devs (i think zeal) didn't want any art of sebastian in like dresses or stuff like that, because they were uncomfortable over it. keep in mind, they said they didnt want art of that in the server. again, setting a Boundary. and of course people were pressed about it, thinking he was being transphobic/homophobic. he wasn't, he was just uncomfortable over it, he didn't want to see the art in the server, but people can still draw it and stuff. just not to post it in the server

might be missing stuff, but tldr. devs handling an exploding fanbase over their game for the first time that they arent ready for is a spell for disaster. devs mishandled adding accessibility features and community being pressed over creator of oc for setting boundaries in their server.

its probably for the best that the devs are taking a long break from pressure

im probably gonna step away from making any pressure art tbh, the community and the whole (imo excessive and unnecessary) drama surrounding is genuinely too much and people are being so insufferable about it

back to oc brainrot , as usual

[mantis-selfships]

I am absolutely in love with your art and the way you portray the characters 🥺💘

I draw self-ship as a stress relief myself but feel extremely self-aware about posting it online. Last time I did it wasn't taken kindly online like my other artworks do. Do you have maybe some advice to come over this fear and feel more comfortable posting self-shipping? 💝

awww thank you so much!! thats something i get worried abt sometimes lol

and to answer your question! tbh, the fear never goes away lol. i still get nervous when i post ANYTHING self-indulgent . but somethings that does help is to remind myself that this is for me! other ppl dont like it? who cares!! i didnt draw my fave kissing my self-insert oc for you!(i will say it does hurt, as a artist being looked over, when it's something you're proud of, but that just happens)

and the other thing is, maybe have a blog dedicated to JUST self-ship stuff? that way if ppl like your art, but dont care for the self-ship stuff, u can have it's own little place for it. and have your non-selfship art elsewhere, like a main blog or smth(that's what i do at least, and i find it works for me^^)

i hope that answers your question!! and good luck with having the confidence to post ur art online!!

[lovecremoved]

[l0vey-d0vey-moved]

OOF;;; so i heard it was self ship positivity day and like. i forgot it was today or else i would’ve made a post earlier but ;o; oops;; it’ll probably be a long post so it’s under a read more <3

What got you into self shipping/self insert content? 

Who or what inspired you?

okay so!!! i’ve pretty much been self-inserting/self-shipping for as long as i can remember!! it’s been just something for me to think about, but i didn’t realize that other people did it.  i was still into bmc at the time, and imagined myself hanging out w/ jeremy heere + the entire crew and it was really fun!!! i loved imagining myself in the story and doodling myself and the doods hanging out!!!

i got into the community due to @/sassy-tic-tac who self-ships with her/their (i’m sorry i don’t know pronouns oOPS;;;) character, hayden!!! 

What do you like to do when it comes to self ship/self insert? 

Are you a content creator, or do you enjoy taking part in things? 

i just like to daydream;;;; but i do like drawing my f/os and... oof... writing about us interacting but i’m still a bit nervous to do that because i’m afraid i’ll get their characters wrong or something;;; 

i would love to, but i get really nervous about talking and interacting to other people;; 

How long have you been self shipping or creating self inserts for?

[phasefuck-moved]

Can you tell us some about your selfship w/ Jack :0 like how you two met (can be actually how you found out about the character or an in universe thing if you have one), what you love the most about each other, and maybe your favorite thing to do together?

Boy I might ramble so let me put this under the Cut ft. suitable image that describes the mood.

I answer all ur points so- how i found jack (also how i found blands)- about my self insert- what i love abt him

So like. I’ll start with how I found Jack cos that’s always a fun story to tell. Jump back to late 2014, like November-December, FNAF fandom was having it’s first stagnant phase, and I wasn’t back into Homestuck yet. I spent most of my time watching youtubers like Markiplier and RPGMinx, anyone I found from FNAF videos basically. So like all the people that played Prop Hunt together on those channels, I found them all and watched them all. Was also a time that I watched people on Twitch when I really ran out of shit to watch. 

So it’s like, late November, first week of December, can’t remember which, was browsing Twitch for something to watch, saw Cryotic was streaming and was like “hey I know that person they don’t stream too much I think I’ll watch them”. Cry was playing TFTBL Ep1. I watched like, from the point where Rhys and Vaughn enter Shade’s lil place. And I think I went to bed before it finished. Went to school the next day and talked to a friend about it, telling them about this new game I saw, my friend knew it too so we talked about it for a while. By December 10th, I’d bought the game, and by December 20th, I had all of the Borderlands games.

So how did I actually find out about Jack and fall for that idiot? Well my stupid ass didn’t meet him in TFTBL because I finished the first episode AFTER starting the other games. So I actually met him in TPS. On Christmas Eve. I was Hooked. Because I played like, all the starts of the games before I played the endings, I still knew he was gonna be a terrible shitty idiot. 

At the time I was going through some bad shit, like I’m sure it was the midpoint between two major points of abuse in my life, so I was already diving into coping mechanisms and recently was self shipping again, so I latched onto Jack and have been really gay for him ever since. Although I never posted it on my blog until this year, as I didn’t know of the self ship side of tumblr, and due to all the discourse Jack causes, I didn’t want to cause trouble or be judged or anything so I kept my mouth shut. And now I don’t shut up about it in my group chat, annnnd now here I guess too jdshgjdsg. 

Hell my old blog you can’t find one post about me LIKING Jack, let alone self ship or anything. And I still left the fandom and abandoned those blogs due to my only friends at the time constantly insulting the games, to the point where I didn’t want to play them anymore. (Like, they were fans of the games but, in a “I hate the fact there are canon lesbians and lots of lgbt people and memes and shit in the games” so they were mad non stop and ranted at me, the 14 year old loner jdhsgjdsg.)

So yeah. 3+ Years of Jack Hell.

Anyways, I do have a self insert!!! Her name is AJ and she is the Worst. She’s super OP and super cringy but I don’t care because I’m having fun. She’s been through a lot of design changes, with one from 2014, and then a lot from January. But the overall character hasn’t changed. She’s me but too op (being a very old siren with pink tats that still looks 21) and good looking and Actually Smooching Jack. You can find the most recent drawing of her here! Her tag has some of her older art but not all of it. 

Story wise, she has an AU timeline with Jack where like, I gave him a new backstory (no wives or gfs… only me now….), but the main games plots stay the same, until her own big plot after BL2. 

AJ meets Jack at a Hyperion Science Facility on Pandora, when he’s only 19 years old, young Hyperion programmer that was only there to fix some equipment and move on. He has Angel when he’s 20, believing her to be from a drunken one night stand with a scientist at the facility, who Died p much right away. He doesn’t actually see AJ again until he’s 23-24, when hes taken over this project to shut it down. Moves AJ to where he’s living cos boi he has a thing for this girl he saw only one time. Spent like a year together and then started dating the day before Mercenary Day (aka December 24th, like how thats the day I first found Jack dsjhgjdsg). 

Pretty much from there it’s just. AJ helps out with BL1, would be present in TPS like a player character, I guess. Around Jack a lot bc she lov him. BL2 she’s mainly on Helios, like Jack, so probably wouldn’t be seen. Post BL2 she’s stuck on Helios, trapped in Jack’s Office, for seven years, had her arm cut off and all, it’s not pretty. TFTBL starts to happen, moment Rhys enters Jack’s Office shit changes because AJ is there, Rhys breaks AJ out of the office and onto Pandora. She also somehow gets AI Jack who has no clue who she is and is only nice to her to keep her alive so he can stay alive too. (We joked that she slaps the AI out of Rhys and honestly. Mood). She stays on Pandora for 3 years with AI Jack, Vaughn, and some contact with a few Hyperion people. Ends up opening a vault, finds it to be one like Eleseer, instead of knowledge it gives her power.

Then you get my lil story aka Borderlands: Infinite, aka BL8, which many people in my group chat are a part of. This currently doesn’t have a set plot, other than there being a paradox world, AI Jack is a main villain, Lilith and AJ are on opposing sides, and everyone comes back to life a little. It’s really weird.

What I love most about Jack is he is an absolute bastard. But he’s really funny and his voice is really good and I think he lives up to the handsome part of his name. Hell I even like the soul patch from TPS even though nearly everyone hates that. He’s such a nerd. An evil boi. Absolutely terrible. 

AJ wise she’s pretty much the same, he’s pretty much the first person she ever gets to know, he looks after her, plus she’s with him from way before he goes off the rails. She just so happens to sorta go off at the same time. Which is why she sticks around when he starts doin bad shit. And Jack’s into her because she’s the cutest damn siren to ever exist like how could you resist. She makes shitty jokes about her being an engineer and him being a programmer. 

Before like, TPS their fav thing to do usually involved the ECHOnet, playing games, watching movies, simple stuff. AJ couldn’t really go out much as she was depression (and also needed to be hooked up to electricity at all times. She’s weird. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere for something.) Post TPS she probably enjoyed following Jack around, bein the trophy GF, and also shooting a lot of people. How the times change.
