─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. Content warnings ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───

The following content warnings apply to our self-ships.
If no specific F/O's name is given, assume it applies
to most/all of our self-ships.

✶ abuse as past trauma
✶ abuse as a ship (AM, Zaphod)
✶ addiction
✶ child sexual abuse as past trauma (Norman)
✶ cults and religion (Copia)
✶ eating disorders
✶ incest as disordered attraction
✶ incest as past trauma
✶ incest as a ship (Ford, Norman, Zaphod)
✶ necrophilia as disordered attraction (Copia, Norman)
✶ necrophilia as a ship (Copia, Norman, Withnail)
✶ self-harm
✶ sexual abuse as past trauma
✶ suicide
✶ torture as a ship (AM)

✧ Both Venn's self-ship with Norman and Strangelove's self-ship with Ford feature characters who had romantic relationships with family members where those relationships are somewhat romanticized but mostly presented as past regrets of theirs.

✧ The necrophilia in the Norman self-ship is presented as a disordered condition that a member of Norman's system acted on in the past and that he now copes with through kink.

✧ The Zaphod self-ship is incestuous and is had by a fictive of Zaphod's cousin. One AU of Vyvian's self-ship with Norman involves pseudo-incest (in that it involves a queerplatonic relationship between two unrelated people who had previously declared a sibling-like relationship).

✧ Additionally, the Withnail self-ship has AUs in which necrophilia is acted on and romanticized. Venn has a version of eir self-ship in which Withnail kills and has sex with em, and Stigmata's self-ship involves Withnail dying and Stigmata keeping the corpse platonically and non-sexually.

✧ The Copia self-ship (and, by extension, our interpretations of the Ghost universe) features an occult ritual in which a person, usually with consent, is sacrificed and their corpse used in sex magic.

✧ Additionally, when Terzo self-ships with Copia, it is either in an AU where his source character is NOT the half-brother of Copia's (e.g. when he is self-shipping for fun), OR in a timeline identical to what Terzo remembers where it IS incest (e.g. when he is self-shipping to cope). Everybody else's version of the Copia self-ship features a timeline where incest between those two characters occurred.

✧ Unless we know you to be comfortable with these topics, we will ask before discussing any of these things in our self-ships and/or content warn them if talking about them in a public setting.

✧ Any of our self-ships where we imagine the F/O as part of our everyday life is subject to featuring things that we've experienced in this life. For our comfort level, we have not specified every F/O with whom we explore those themes.

─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. Boundaries ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───

✧ We are okay sharing F/Os, but if you are following us on social media or talking to us one on one, please ask to follow/interact if you self-ship with Zaphod.

✧ If you have (self-)ships or enjoy fiction that feature abuse, incest, zoophilia (talking animal characters are exempt) and/or pedophilia and you are talking to an alter whose comfort level with such topics you don't already know, please ASK before talking to us about those ships/media.

✧ Some members of our system are always comfortable with hearing about them, some are comfortable if it's for coping and/or not romanticized, some of us are comfortable with some topics but not others, and some don't like hearing about this kind of thing at all. This is not a moral judgment but a matter of individual triggers.

✧ If you are talking to an alter who does not want to hear about a ship that you want to talk about, it is okay to ask to talk to someone else who is more comfortable hearing it. Our alters are often capable of ignoring conversations even if they are still in front if another alter is the main one participating.

✧ We do not mind how you talk about your ships in any other setting nor why you have them (so long as you properly tag them in public). We only place this boundary on direct one-on-one conversations.

✧ The following alters, as long as they're not in a bad place mentally, are always okay to talk to about any fictional portrayal of those topics. Bolded are the ones who most frequently participate in self-ship/dark fiction spaces.
🩻 Alice/Bastard (it/x/vae/he)
🚬 Control/Vienna/Disorder (it/he/x)
⚰️ Mori (he/they/it/x)
🎤 Nix (it/he/x/dead)
🔪 Norman/Wire/Stabby (he/it/stab/🔪/📼)
👁️ Obelisk/Meri/Meredith/Victor (it/dead/x/void/he)
💥 Ransom (he/it/x)
🌃 Stigmata/Effigy (it/they/e/he)
👽 Venn/Cherry/Nil/Darjeeling (star/ey, vi/vir/virs, he/they)

✧ Please do not talk to us in detail about the sexual aspects of any of your (self-)ships, regardless of the context or tone of the sex. Occasional exceptions are made for friends.

Here are our boundaries regarding drawing art of us, self-ship or general.

─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. Notes ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───

✧ Due to being aro-spec, we view our self-ships as either:
✶ (queer)platonic relationships
✶ a mix of platonic and romantic
✶ a relationship where the distinction doesn't matter/exist

✧ The exceptions to the above are:
✶ Ampersand's Arthur self-ship (romantic)
✶ Kaiper's and Vyvian's Arthur self-ships ("regular" platonic)
✶ Terzo's Copia self-ship (romantic)
✶ Venn's Withnail self-ship (one-sided romantic attraction)

✧ Nil Darjeeling is our self-insert for our Norman Bates self-ship. Our system's fictive of Norman likes the self-insert as a character and participates in the self-ship by self-shipping with the self-insert. When he talks about the self-ship, he tends to talk about it like a story he is helping write. Content warnings for the Norman self-ship apply to this self-ship as well.

✧ Despite the fact that we have self-ships and sometimes write fanfiction, we don't always "get" fandom and especially shipping culture, so we may be confused by the way you talk about media.
✶ Translation: we're not really "fandom people", we're just very obsessed with a handful of things and cope through fiction, please be patient with us.

✧ Sometimes we talk about our F/Os as though they are real, especially with regards to Vyvian talking about Ford. Please tell us if that triggers your unreality and we will stop doing it around you.
