#I've gone through so many F/Os and most of them were characters from canon media that I fell out with for reasons

I feel like shipping yourself with your own F/O OC is a very underrated subset to the whole self-shipping lifestyle because like, it’s so rare in comparison to shipping with canon. (Tho I get why, easier to work with canon characters and with OC F/Os you gotta work on the lore on your own so canon does the work for ya but still :P)

#This is what I do when it comes to selfshipping atm#I've mentioned how I tend to get attached with fictional characters to the point where it has and can come off as unhealthy obsession#and it is something that unfortunately plagued my Self x Canon Character selfshipping thing I had going for a while#Started with the first canon character in game media actually to the point I broke it off because that obsession was freaking me out#Granted idk who else has this bad of a case of attaching to fictional characters to the point it actually hurts sometimes#So I feel really alone in that scenario#However I've like really recently realized that shipping myself with my own OCs is probs like#likely the healthiest way to nurture that overattachment issue as I'm not risking freaking anyone out or having to worry about doing so#because I can control everything that goes on with that character that I'm actively shipping with#unlike with canon stuff where there is a chance I might have to eventually be like ''anyways fck canon''#I've gone through so many F/Os and most of them were characters from canon media that I fell out with for reasons#(5 I've been made to feel ashamed for liking the characters for what they are)#The only one that I wasn't REALLY ashamed of was an OC. Who is who I'm shipping with now#And the only reason I fell out with said OC to begin with was initially my 13 yr old self being a dumbass#about my relationship with him and making things complicated#(Btw I do not speak of the OC in question here as I keep like two seperate lives and Tumblr is very seperate from my personal one#where the selfshipping is what I'm open about compared to here where I'm closed off)#Basically what I'm saying is I'm better off having my own OCs as F/Os#and frankly I think that is the best way to handle my whole sdfghjhgffghj Thing going on there.#The less ammo for a$$holes to try and make me regret shipping myself with a character I like AGAIN the better#IK there's the whole Never feel ashamed for what characters you love thing in the self-shipping community#but I guess after going through so many I'm just sorta more guarded than ever about feeling that way again#so I'm like ''Fnck this making my own hubby this time'' to cope.#anyways back to the void I go this is just something I've been sitting and thinking on for a while#the previous post still applies btw it's just more on the actual social part and interacting with other people publically#the previous post I made I mean#self-shipping#F/O OC#OC F/O#Em Speaks
