Boundaries

Here are boundaries we have for other people discussing self-ship with us!

✧ 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.

✧ 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.
