Your f/o would not get annoyed, fed up, or see you as a burden for needing reassurance, even if you feel like you are wearing on them for needing constant validation or support.
Your f/o would not get upset at you for needing "basic" remainders that you deserve love, affection, human decency, respect, and protection. They will remind you as many times as you need without hesitation. For you, they would. Your f/o would not be sarcastic or dismissive when you ask for something as simple as permission for getting dessert or anything else. They would not shame you for wanting things. You deserve food, shelter, safety, happiness, affection, love, and warmth. And you deserve small things that are not "basic necessities" like treats, items that make you happy, ect.
You deserve happiness and healing. And your f/o will be there every step of the way to remind you.
since I've seen a few other self shippers struggling with pr*shitter posts I want to share some tags you can block! usually when you blacklist tags on tumblr, even if a mutual unknowingly reblogs something from a pr*shitter, the blacklist will catch the tags of the original post and filter it out!
add these tags to your blacklists! (without slashes or periods)
pro fi.ction
pro sel.fship
pro sh/ipper
pro sh.ipping
prose/lfsh/ip
pr/oship
pr/oship safe
pro/ship selfs/hip
blacklisting these has really helped me. feel free to rb or add any other tags for blacklisting!
For those who have missed important milestones in their lives for one reason or another, who haven't gotten the chance to do things that are "universal" experiences to others, you're f/os would want you to experience these things and help you catch up on the things you never got to do! It's even better because they get to be right by your side for all of it!
Never went to prom/Nobody took you to prom or a high school dance? That's unacceptable! Your f/o is planning a whole party just so they can ask you to it! Even doing an over the top promposal.
Never took a road trip with friends? Grab your other f/os and let's go! You'll sing along to music, make jokes, play car games, stop at convenience stores for snack runs, and stop at tourist traps and goof off together until you reach your destination. If you have one in mind at all or just want to drive and have an adventure with your f/os.
Never gone to an ice cream shop on hot summer day? You're f/o is taking you out and you get to try all the flavours you want! Never had a sleepover? Your platonic f/os are so excited to spend the whole time hanging with you in their pjs and watching movies and having fun! You never had a parent teach you how to drive? Your parental f/o will gently guide you and teach you everything they now (even if you already know how to drive).
And there are plenty more. It can be deeply frustrating or depressing feeling that you haven't experienced certain things that everyone else has and feel like you've been left behind. Your f/o would never make fun of you for not having these experiences or memories, no matter how trivial or mundane. If it's something you've always yearned for, they will help you achieve it.
Imagine you are making out with your f/o and you are so lovestruck that you get overstimulated, and have to take a quick break because you are so happy!!
Your f/o waits for you while you come back down, gazing at you with love and adoration, thinking about how cute you are.
When you're ready again you both quickly get back to kissing! And in turn, your f/o gets so overwhelmed with their love for you, they need to take a break next because they got overstimulated! They just love you so much! 🧡
Imagine you sneak out of your room in the middle of the night for a midnight snack but you are stopped by the sight of your sibling f/o in the fridge eating the snack you saved
Your f/o wouldn't leave you when you need help. No matter the circumstances. No matter how tired they are, how unprepared, or confused, they will stay by your side and you can tackle the situation together.
Having no one to rely on is scary and maybe you are used to doing everything by yourself, but your f/o wants you to know that they will always be there. They want you to rely on them. They wouldn't let you down. Not now, not ever.
Here's to the self shippers that have affectionate platonic f/os or like to imagine being affectionate with their platonic f/os!
Your platonic f/os loves you. They always enjoy hanging out and spending time with you. It means a lot to them that they can be casually affectionate with you and it does nothing but strengthen your bond with each other. Your platonic f/o appreciates you letting them rest their head on your shoulder or chest, they love taking naps with you and cuddling, and holding your hand is always so nice! 🧡
A shout out to ace self shippers that are alright with being sexual with their f/os purely in fiction but are uncomfortable with that type of stuff in real life!
Shout out to aro self shippers that like romantically self shipping but wouldn't date in real life! 🖤🤍💜
And also shout out to ace and aro self shippers that are the opposite! Who don't want those types of relationships with their f/os even if its fictional! You're valid! 🖤🤍💜
