Someone: you can’t self ship because it’s cringy and weird
Me:
*opens a can of Sprite*
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.

I honestly see nothing wrong with self insert art.
Sometimes we just need to make art for ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with drawing yourself with your favourite characters, don’t be afraid of doing it!
Dusk in True Stories (1986)
adults, while forcing all children above the age of 5 to sit still, be silent, and obey orders for 7-8 hours a day with minimal breaks, reducing their exposure to fresh air and sunlight to almost nothing, forcing them to alter their natural sleeping patterns to increase productivity, and repeatedly telling them their self worth depends on their being able to follow these instructions perfectly for 13 or more years: kids these days are so lazy! they never go outside! they never want to do anything! clearly it’s not because of us!
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.
