lychees for the ask game :3
lychees ✦ do you use self-shipping to explore dynamics that you otherwise wouldn’t in real life? if so, what dynamics (if you’re willing to tell)? do you use self-shipping to imagine things you do want to experience in real life?
We absolutely use self-shipping to explore a lot of toxic, fucked up and violent relationship aspects that we would not want to go through (or in terms of exotrauma, would not want to go through again).
But we also definitely use it for fluffy stuff that we’d prefer to be able to do. A lot of our self-shipping ends up being a substitute for in-system F/Os not having multiple bodies to interact with one another in.
