what is selfshipping?
selfshipping is exactly what it sounds like !! you ship your self or a self-insert character - your S/I - with a particular fictional character you like! this can be romantic, platonic, or familial! these characters are referred to as your F/Os, or fictional others - a play on S/O for significant other!why tho?
a lot of reasons! some people do it to cope with certain things like compulsory heterosexuality or trauma, others do it because it's fun! im a little bit in both camps myself :)
selfshipping is something that has brought me a lot of comfort over the years, and has allowed me to explore aspects of myself that wouldnt be feasible to in real life! its contributed a lot to my mental health and my self-image! obv its super important to me, hence this shrines existence!!
