“Your Protagonist Is Such A Self Insert—”

@ the creators of my f/o’s media when they kill them off

“don’t reduce this female character down to a love interest” does not translate into “this female character shouldn’t have a love interest.”

preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both. 

The reason I can’t track my F/O’s tags, a meme by me.

Hey real quick: kintypes are you.

If you have a kinlist with a lot of kintypes that you relate to or you connect to rather than those things being you, then you may want to look into otherhearted/fictionhearted or synpaths. 

Another quick note: being otherhearted is not “lesser otherkin”. It’s just a different experience that some people have and can be as important in a person as a kintype. 

When you start out a day and you think "I might not get much done today" please know that this is ok. Just surviving the day is a tremendous accomplishment and is always good enough.

Reminder to myself and all self shippers

Don’t feel forced to stick to the canon.

If you want to take into account just one part of your f/o’s story, do it. If you don’t want them to be dead, keep them alive. If they are married/engaged/whatever, make them yours.

Even if they are a villain who want to destroy or dominate the world, they love you. Even if they are a king/queen and you a simple civilian or servant, you’re their queen/king. Even if they’re an evil creature, they’ll protect you.

Don’t feel unworthy of their love and adoration just because of the canon.

If you want to mix different stories and universes, you can. This is all about your imagination. Do whatever you want. Create your own universe.

👏 fictosexuality 👏 is 👏 valid 👏 + 👏 nothing 👏 to 👏 be 👏 ashamed 👏 about 👏 real 👏 people 👏 gross 👏 anyways 👏

Here’s to all the self shippers who have F/O’s-platonical, familial or romantic-who got done dirty and fucked over by their creators. 

May we all treat our F/O’s a billion times better then their own pathetic excuse of creators
