Local Void: Self-ship Notes

Things to know about our self-ships!

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.
