Kinda nonhuman because mental illness, kinda nonhuman because not being properly socialized as a kid, kinda nonhuman because queer, kinda nonhuman because angry at humanity, kinda nonhuman because longing for the unconditional love of a pet and it’s master, and kinda nonhuman because secret sixth thing.

affirmations

i am so good at pretending to be human

my human disguise looks basically just like the real thing

i can withstand the feeling of my wings and tail being cramped for several hours in a row

it's really normal or even cute when i growl

i can easily partake in human conversations

you know I was a migratory bird once

Does anyone else get "teeth shifts"?

You feel as if your teeth are larger and sharper, especially when touching them with your tongue or yawning.

I get that almost constantly and think it's really cool

The Daily Advertiser, Lafayette, Louisiana, February 27, 1918

we are watched by the moon; we are heard by the stars

do you not know how to respond to someone when they say ily or are you normal

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

for those of us who have an f/o with trauma;

just know that they're so grateful for you. they don't know where they would be in their healing journey without you. you've done more for them than you could ever know. the way you help them through their emotions and bad days, the way you accommodate their needs to make them comfortable when something is upsetting them. they're so lucky to have someone like you in their lives

imagine resting your head on your f/o's chest, just listening to the strong, steady rhythm of their heartbeat — they grin, and say "you hear that? it's saying your name."

A/B/O but what if it's a metaphor for Queerness

i'm imagining chuuya curled up all dainty and warm in his expensive silk pajamas while snoring like a malfunctioning chainsaw in dazai's ear every night. dazai hasn't slept since whatever god forsaken day they started sharing a bed. he lies there with a pillow over his face every night and agonizes while chuuya shifts and honks like a goddamn foghorn

If you guys wanna help me out, the best thing you can do is share this post as much as you can, especially if you’re in the self-ship community or have friends in it.

Hey, so remember that cyber bullying is lame as fuck and we don't like people who do that? *edited with more information

Content warning for talk of bullying, body shaming, threats of harm, joking about sexual trauma, and like, manipulation?

So the tl;dr is there's a person who I've been recently warned about that's rejoined the selfship community. They've hurt two people I know personally and care deeply for. I'm making this post because they don't wish for the attention to be on them, which I completely understand

I don't have any personal connection to this person, however I value the words of these two people (who I will call Mutual-A and Mutual-B) and I only wish for their safety and comfort. I do not want any harm or rude things sent to this blog, simply block and move on

Reblogs would be appreciated, and I ask for people to at least skim over what I talk about under the read more. I don't feel comfortable knowing that my other mutuals interact with a person who's harmed people that I care for

^ their new user name, since I don't want to type here and accidentally find this places where it shouldn't be. I do believe they had a different selfship blog here, that has since disappeared, I think they deleted it, since I had the original blocked and this one wasn't.

Now like mentioned previously, I have no ties to this person and the only "interaction" I've had with them was seeing the incredibly rude and disgusting things they've said about Mutual-A. As a nonsharer myself and someone who fights with my mental issues, I don't think shaming someone's body and outright wishing physical violence on people who share your comfort characters is a sane or normal thing to do. If these screenshots look familiar it's because they've been taken from a post about this person in the past, when this was originally happening

Again, talk of body shaming and wishes of harm (which no matter how silly is still a threat)

________________

________________

As for this second person, Mutual-B, what they've been through with them was some time ago. While Mutual-B wasn't a victim of harassment to as big of scale as Mutual-A, I still think their feelings on the matter are important to highlight. I don't have screenshots of these ordeals in particular, only word of mouth, but I trust this person deeply, and never before have they tried to bad mouth anyone without reason. On multiple occasions with this person Mutual-B has told me they threatened to call out B as a p.ro.shipper, something THEY ARE NOT, simply for reblogging or interacting with posts with tags they didn't already have filtered out. I've know B for a while now and I can tell you that it's simply not true

Warning for jokes of sexual trauma/SA and manipulation

________________

________________

That's all. Once again reminding to NOT attack this person, just block and move on. For a community built on self love and comfort I don't find any of this shit to be acceptable to have in it

________________________________

EDIT, because apparently we're not done here.

Since making this post, this person (will be referring to them/her as Rot) has since made a post addressing the situation. I'm also adding on more screenshots found by myself and others (apologize for the quality of some, as they're taken from my computer due to the picture limit) Going to go ahead and add another content warning for talk of SA/a character who has committed it, will add more warnings if needed

First thing Rot talks about in her post is how her interaction with Moot-A was a year and a half ago, which isn't true, right now it's been barely over a year and two months ago. I feel like this is a way to try to paint us badly by "Bringing up stuff from way back in the past", I understand a few months difference isn't much, this is a tiny nitpick I'm sure but it still didn't settle right with me. I can also understand if this was just plain misremembering.

Second point, as for the warning above, Rot makes it clear that she ships herself with a canonical rapist, J.immy from the game Mouthwashing. The fact he assaulted his coworker is incredibly important to the story of the game, there is no denying it or any chance that this could be some gross misinterpretation. Not that Rot tries to deny this. She understands who Jimmy is. She just choices to ignore it.

And I find that really fucking disturbing. Considering how she assures people she doesn't condone his actions and how she says she takes SA seriously, then why the fuck would you even ship with him in the first place? Would also like to point out that if you do choose to ignore the worst flaw of his character... there's still so much more to him that's simply bad. But that's irrelevant/personal opinion. J.immy is a well written character and villain, I can agree, however he is a man who should not be touched with a ten foot pole

Considering a lot of her harassment towards A was about how bad A was for "mischaracterizing" a shared F/o and how A diverged from canon, and how much she disliked A for it, I find it very hypocritical for her to ignore J.immy's biggest flaw. The fact she doesn't mention his actions in game isn't something I didn't notice either, whether that's intentional or not I'm not sure, but it still feels gross

She and others also mention the character K.enjaku. However, I have not watched/read J.J.K. so I have no comment on that.

My final note on this is simply. I don't care if you ship with villains, I myself have multiple characters that are villains or bad people that I hold dearly. (this is a reason why i'm hesitant to talk about this in particular) however. There's just some things and characters you shouldn't fucking touch.

The last thing I will add to this edit is her stance on pro.shipp.ing. She's reprimanded past friends for reblogging posts from pro.shippers, she's threatened to call them out as pro.ship for it. She also pointblank puts on her blog that she doesn't want that part of the community to interact with her. Except she still continues to reblog posts with the pro tags. People make mistakes, but the fact she's scolded and threatened people for doing the same while these posts get to stay on her blog upsets me

**I've also been given screenshots of dark content she's reblogged. Now I do agree with the statement that dabbling in darker themes with ships is fine (there's some big scary ""n*ance"" in that comment). I won't shame someone for enjoying fucking idk kidnapping or unhealthy relationship dynamics. Again, I don't think I'm the right person to play holier than thou on a high horse, but I feel it's worth mentioning since someone went as far as to send me those screenshots.

Warning for allusions to SA in the 3rd/nonfiltered post

________________

^^ last screenshot is added simply because nonsharervents has a "bad rep" because OP is neutral to/allows pro.shippers to interact

sometimes selfshipping means bluetoothing your period cramps to your f/o. thanks for handling those for me babe :) ily

i hate rejection sensitivity dude wdym my coworker gently corrected my mistake and i want to bash my own skull in with a hammer

thinking about how when chuuya was taken, his puppy barked so loud it woke the neighbors. scratched up the door trying to follow him. when the men in coats didn’t bring him back, the little thing curled up in chuuya’s bed and waited. refused to eat for days. cried at the window every night like he thought if he just watched long enough, chuuya would come waddling down the street again. even months later, he still padded into chuuya’s room at night, curled up on his pillow just to smell him on the sheets.

by the time chuuya's integrated into the mafia, the dog is old and gray. he still whines at the bedroom door. and he will probably continue to do so until he physically can't anymore, till he grows too weak to walk the house and check the windows and doors every night before bed. till he resigns himself to the (too) little dog bed that chuuya handpicked for him and dreams of his kids smile and voice before he dozes. even in rest, loyalty is a hard thing to put down.

you are sleeping, spooning losely with your f/o, and they wake up first and pepper lazy kisses on your skin wherever they can reach, just because they can

Chuuya (mostly) being a law-abiding citizen despite the convenience of his ability and his motorcycle until the situation calls for it The idea that at any time an emergency strikes wherever they are at any given time, Chuuya will just start scaling buildings himself or with his motorcycle so he's not inconvenienced by traffic and red lights while the ability-less are stuck waiting in traffic and forced to watch Chuuya blitzing by on the buildings Chuuya waiting in traffic when an emergency strikes and he floats himself and his bike out of traffic to take a shortcut and everyone just. watches. He's enjoying the breeze on his face as he's riding the buildings, shouting 'Yeah' the entire time

btw people who self ship with characters that are part of an extremely popular cc x cc ship are braver than the marines. so jot that down

Shout out to selfshippers who self ship as a form of comfort to combat loneliness.

◇ Your f/o will never make you feel lonely or unwanted. They will never ignore you or purposefully make you feel bad. If they ever do something that makes you uncomfortable, they'll apologize IMMEDIATELY and never do it again. They'll never embarrass you in front of others for the sake of comedy or a joke. Your f/o is here for you. They will make sure you're NEVER lonely because they will always be by your side. They love you. Always and forever. ❤️

《PROSHIPPERS/ETC DNI!!! GO AWAY!!!》

Let’s hear it for height differences between you and your f/o!!!!!!!!!!

videogames with f/o … especially if they absolutely suck at it , and you get to laugh at them for losing again after demanding a sixth rematch — or you’re sitting beside them as they play , muttering over every little thing they’re doing wrong , taking the controller out of their hands to do it yourself ….

or maybe they’re weirdly ( or not-so-weirdly ! ) good at it and demolish you in every game you play — even if it’s something like stardew valley and they’re speedrunning perfection — snickering and looking over at you to watch how angry you get after losing again and again and again , maybe even completely tryharding just to see you get upset …… just sitting together with them after a long day , getting to relax and worry about mundane things rather than the outside world ♡♡♡

No typing quirks.

i beg… PLEASE respect people’s boundaries when it comes to iDs/iRLs and yumes. the same way you wouldn’t want someone claiming that they're (xyz) while knowing it makes you uncomfortable— extend that same care to others ! /nm /nbh

they should invent activities for sleepy people with no energy
