This took far longer than intended but Casseas Wedding Art!! ^-^

im being so fucking for real and i need you guys to boost and reblog this you nonblack selfshippers have got to stop using "simp." you have to. its african american vernacular english (aave) which in colloquial terms means its not for you to use. in a space already hostile towards shippers of color, youre just making it more inhospitable to black selfshippers by appropriating our language. say youre crushing. say youre obsessed. say youre head over heels, say youre a sucker, say youre infatuated, just stop saying simp. for the love of god

{nonblack shippers [even other shippers of color] i do NOT want to hear your opinion on this post or hear about how you "didnt know" or are "changing it right now." just be an ally and LISTEN instead of needing to add your piece.}

Yes, I'm taken (I'm dating a fictional character inside my head)

self shippers you guys should think of desperate kisses btw. ☝🏾 your f/o hesitating for only a moment before pulling you close, maybe pulling you by the collar or by the hip, how they can only wait long enough to suck in a breath before they're on you. how they kiss you like it is urgent, like they will actually cease to be if they don't kiss you. there's no teasing, there's no longer any of their meekness to be found, there's nothing in their mind but the constant pounding of their heart in their chest and you, you, you ringing in their brain. desperate kisses that turn into sloppy, messy things as they trail down your neck when you need to part for air– but even that doesn't last long before they're turning you to kiss you on the lips once more. btw.

pro-shippers do not interact

need to kiss him until we’re both silly and delirious and giggling, until we’re both grabbing at each other’s shoulders and sides and arms, until we’re both half hazardously stumbling our way backwards onto the couch in a heap of laughter just so we can be as close as possible and we’re clumsily bumping foreheads and noses. need to kiss him until he can’t stop smiling and until we’re both stupidly lovestruck and just clinging to each other

me, on my selfship blog: god this is so self-indulgent. embarrassing. don't perceive me.

just thinking about height/size difference things with f/os:

☀️ the shorter one jogging/skipping every once in a while to keep up when the taller one is trying to get somewhere fast

🌙 bonus: the taller one thinking this is adorable and walking too fast on purpose

☀️resting their chin on top of the other one’s head during a hug, or if the height difference is big enough, using their head as an arm rest

🌙 that thing where the taller one scoops the other up into a kiss/hug by the waist and practically picks them up and leans them both over

☀️ COMPARING YOUR HANDSSSSS especially during that flirty almost-dating stage

🌙 one of them cups the other’s face and their whole cheek fits in the palm of their hand

☀️ the shorter one slotting perfectly into the taller one’s side, under their arm

🌙 BEAR. HUGS. BEAR HUGS.

Bonus round: Do any of you have an f/o who’s inhumanly large (or small)? What sort of dynamics does that create?

once again, biiig big big shout-out to selfshippers whose f/os have a canon partner / popular ship with a canon character and are uncomfortable with contents of them or anything related to them. no, you're not a 'stealer'. your f/o ONLY WANTS you. you're their canon partner. no one can change it. you're destined to be with them, and no one else.

we're here for you. you're not alone, and we all know that your f/o loves YOU and YOU only.

hugs you. 💗

oughhh ..... waking up in the middle of the night or just a little too early and your f/o groggily tugging you back into place with some little half-coherent words of encouragement. call them selfish, but they'll take the label with no complaint if it means they get to have you lie down at their side just a while longer. the tired little motions they go through to try and make sure that you're able to fall back asleep before they let themself do the same, whether that be tracing shapes along your skin in gentle little gestures or even humming, they're putting the effort in even though sleep might be clinging onto them like a 2 ton weight.

insecurities, man...

Your f/o is fine, btw.

That thing that happened to them?

It was just a nightmare.

Imagine

You wake up in the middle of the night, sitting up in the bed with a gasp.

You look around the dark room. It was just a dream... Right?

The warm body next to you, and the soft snores calms you down.

As you sit there, your f/o turns in bed. They say your name in a raspy voice.

"It was just a nightmare, my love. Go back to sleep now."

They wrap an arm around you and pulls you close.You calm down when feeling their warm breath against your neck, and the reassuring words they whisper when they fall back asleep:

"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."

Tired of seeing your f/o suffer when watching a show/playing a game/reading a book etc etc gang - RISE!

f/os who are sososososo obsessed with you ₊˚⊹♡໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ ` ꒱ྀིა

maybe they're texting you 24/7, gushing about all the details of their day between asking you all about yours.

orrrrr they're visiting you at work, stopping in during your lunch hour just to spend one more minute with you, one more second; talking about your work day while sharing a meal.

and the touch starved f/os who have to be connected to you in some way at every minute of the day, or else a dramatic pout dons their pretty face as they whine for you to sit a bit closer. i'm sure they giggle as you roll your eyes and comply, giving them a little kiss as you fold again for them.

f/os who love sitting in silence with you as you both coexist, loving the peace between you as there's no pressure for conversation, stimulation, or anything. there's nothing better than sitting in perfect content with the one you love. especially when you don't notice the little glances they steal to admire you ♡

pro/comship dni

when I first started self-shipping: maybe this character would like me back. we’re sorta dating. oh, and maybe I’d be friends with this character? they might find me annoying…

me now: this character would always have my back. we’re friends until the end of the line. multiple characters have unrequited crushes on me. my f/o has dedication to me like no one’s seen before. we’re madly in love. we’re best friends. we’re soulmates. it’s even deeper than that.

nothing feels better than when another selfshipper says "your f/o loves you so much!!" or literally anything along those lines i get so genuinely happy
