That’s so me. There’s little to none cases where I want to ship myself with a character, but I have an abundance of ocxcanon ships that do it for me (it gives me serotonin)
I have an MHA OC I made that's a vigilante, who's quirk I could never top because it's called "Pirate's Luck". If they had a stupid plan and do it, it would work. Well-thought-out plans have normal odds, but stupid plans ALWAYS work for them. I didn't ship them with anyone, but they did die in the end and come back as a ghost that follows their brother around and plays pranks on them, sooooo...
I had this self insert named Louie. They had like blue/blonde hair and cat ears she was lowk Like one of those demon angel hybrids she was shipped with bakugo and kamanari (idk if that's spelled right) and now I have rehabilitated her into a regular sad depressed rich girl who's now gay 😀
Oh god, this reopened my memories of my first ever Self Ship OC. Funny enough, it was Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls. Little me didn't do it for loving him, little me did it just to DESTROY the floating dorito chip. I remembered making her SUPER overpowered too, like GODDESS level overpowered. And now she's a fully fleshed out Retired God, trying to live her life with her Family, Friends, and her Partner in a world I eventually made and wrote down. But now with the rise of Gravity Falls again, all I can think about now is their interaction going like "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" "I got better?"
I've always hated how people try to dictate art, saying stuff like this is cringe and stuff. I PRAY for the day that people learn to just freaking shut up and watch something else if they see something they don't like, instead of commenting on it, depsite never really even caring to begin with. This kind of stuff is ESPECIALLY bad with gaming.
I don't have anything against self-shipping at all! I used to do it myself, however, one of my old friends was into it so hard she was legitimately convinced she was married to this fictional character. Like it was 100% real to her. So bad that whenever she saw artwork of other OCs shipped with him, she'd have full-blown meltdowns over it. I wanted to support her but it was ruining her self esteem and mental health so bad :(
i also made a self insert mlp oc, i didnt ship her with anyone but she was a super powerful/magical alicorn from another diminson that could travel through worlds...
I have a REALLY embarrassing one. When the movie Encanto came out I had a huge crush on the shapeshifter kid, and I drew my sona with him and our children 😭😭😭😭 help-
I gave up on real dating. Two failed relationships, one longterm one where my ex got violent, nobody really wants to date a really autistic person :/ I can't live on my own so I understand why nobody would want to date me, and that's not even getting into if we click or not. So, self-shipping it is. I got *many* fictional loves, one of the ones I'm currently into is the Woodsman from Over the Garden Wall and The Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight.
Wait what do u mean nobody wants to date a really autistic person? Are u autistic or was your ex? /gen (The reason why im asking is because Im feeling a bit concerned about ur statement. Oof)
These are all so cute. The community post was a bit too vague on what kind of self-shipping we were talking about for me to give my full thoughts, but yeah. Self-shipping is completely fine and harmless fun, even if it isn’t always the most nuanced and developed. And for writers and especially artists, doing this sort of thing develops their skills in designing and storytelling. It’s actually pretty important in my opinion to explore yourself and develop your skills as you keep practicing. To quote Red from OSP, “People write fan fic for fun. And if your first oc happens to be you with better hair, then whatever man. You do you.”
It makes me happy to see people being more cringe and free, cringe culture is dead !! Fan ocs rise up!!! And I have fan ocs from TADC to Regretevator (a roblox game) to paper Mario bosses lmao tho they aren’t shipped with anyone
Selfshipping is amazing, I LOVE the crossover of Winx Club, MLP and Wreck-it-Ralph of all things I resonated with that so much. Cringe culture is dead. I have a whole daydream about waking up in BOTW's Hyrule, adventuring with my current favorite character (Zhongli..) and also there are Pokemon and frankly whatever other thing I like I can manage to sprinkle in. All my fandom sonas are pretty much shipped with some canon character even though it's more queer platonic than anything. It's FUN!
I made an MHA oc recently. He’s a foreign exchange student at UA from Tromsø, Norway. His quirk is that he can make weapons, shields, and armor out of ice and snow. i ship him with Aoyama, because that sparkly man enthralls me idk what to say.
Videos like this are what gives me faith in humanity and the RUclips algorithm- I love selfshipping so fucking much, you don’t understand. I’ve legit gotten so much serotonin from it. I write too much OC/Canon fic and I don’t ever plan on apologizing for that. Actually, as a matter of fact, the epilogue of my current fic goes up on Tuesday :) This is basically my version of playing with dolls and making them kiss and get married-
I don't care much for self shipping I used to be super bothered by it (mostly from second hand embarrassment I think) but I grow ut of it. I can't ship myself with characters personally because even if I really like a character I just don't feel that way about them. I usually just make ship ocs. Specifically if I don't like them with any canon characters. Personally I think it's more fun that way.
I do understand people that self-ship, I always just did it with self inserts and that's why I laughed so hard at this video because it brought back memories I forgot I had. I don't do it anymore, but I am guilty of still making self inserts. So, I think that it's okay to do things like this to a certain level, it's a different way of showing your love for a certain piece of media
i once self inserted myself on one of my stories to ship myself with one of my OCs because she's everything i love in a woman (smart, dark skinned, chubby, has a pixie cut and a stinger)
Honestly shelfship and selfinsert are interesting for me to see. And I enjoy seeing others indulge in what makes them happy. Now for me, I don’t make selfinserts as I do make whole new Oc’s for the thing I am hyperfixated on. Like there are not me at all but I still enjoy it
What’s weird for me is: usually when I make OCs, shipping is rarely a concern. Sometimes I have an idea of who’s getting paired with who, but I’m just not a massive shipper in general. You can spot the Aro/ace in me from a mile away. But when it comes to my self-inserts… it’s a weird grey area. It’s along the lines of “I really like X character and I wanna be really close friends with them, and I want them to love me, protect me, tell me everything’s gonna be alright.” Pretty much everything shy of kissing. It’s almost like a weird inbetween of “best friends” and “dating” It’s gotten to the point where I’m questioning if I’m really Aromantic, but that’s not really a conversation to have here so imma just… stop here.
One big aspect of Self-shipping for me (which I’m hoping I’m not the only one who does this) is reusing/recycling a self-insert or self-insert character design into other forms of media (usually anime). Funnily enough my second(?) mha insert had ‘Karma’ as her hero name (she was initially a Black Clover self-insert)
I spent over a week drawing the different outfits for my MHA oc/self-insert. Her quirk is Hydrokinesis (so basically she’s a waterbender lol). I also made her Midoriya’s childhood friend, but they have more of a sibling relationship, and she absolutely hated Bakugo. I ship her with Iida, and in my headcannon, she replaces Mineta 😂
Man this brought back memories of little me self shipping myself with characters from the DreamSMP. She somehow had magic despite that not even being to happen in this world, some of the things she did would entirely break cannon that shouldn’t have even been implemented, and the characters I shipped her with were canonically gay in the server and in real life, which now I feel kinda bad for. I do think my situation is a tad different since little me was shipping herself with Minecraft men who were real people behind the screen and not just pixels. I think that further hindered me from taking an interest after that. I’ve personally had a negative connection to Self Shipping since when I did it it was in a bad fandom and little me ignored real people’s sexualities, but I think if you approach it in a mature way by not being weird you’ll be fine. It’s just harmless fun after all :]
Self shipping is all fun and I don’t get the hate. But what I DO hate is when ppl change the entire personality of the og character just to ship, like NO bakugou would not call you “kitty whiskers” or “my sweet honey bunches of baskets”
My first fictional crush was Guy from The Croods, although I didn’t make a self-insert until a couple years after I started making them. She was a nature girlie with cool striped leaf pants, with a purple petal top. Her hair was curly blonde, with the lower half being a matching purple (I used the same hair design for a Hunger Games insert as well). I’m grateful for my younger self for getting into that stuff because it led me to writing my own stories and original characters
I've always had self inserts, but all the ones i currently use don't get really shipped with any character unless it's an otome game i play. Every self insert for me is just a way ro explore possible platonic relationships with characters or to just have fun drawing their powers or imagining cool scenes with said powers. I think it's a very useful way to express feelings one can't in their daily lives.
Inkiio: *explains how self shipping isn’t bad* Me and my list of unreal and monstrous boyfriends from almost every anime I watched: YIPPEE (I feel valid and not that cringe anymore)
I personally don't delve too much into self shipping, makes me feel weird (might be cause I'm aroace) I also don't tend to read too much of it cause I'm too attached to my canon, fanan, and headcanon ships But I have read a few really really good ones that I genuinely enjoyed
i love selfshipping, the oc i use it with the most ive had for years because the media i use it with has been a hyperfixation for years. the media's fandom i made the oc for tends to despise selfshipping, but i selfship with one of the most hated characters in said fandom loll (i will probably not name the media or character unless i feel like it idk cuz i wanna start posting about them, oh well)
SUKI IS SOOOO PRETTY I LOVE HER. I like wayy too much the "my marks glow when im angry or sad etc" i started giggling like crazy with the yesyesyesyes THIS!!! THE TOP STEREOTYPICAL THING!
I think selfshipping is great, I do it all the time and I see nothing wrong with it. Plus it can be exceptionally cathartic in many ways, and can lead to great arts, too. ^^
This whole video had me grinning so wide. It’s just the pure, unapologetic creativity and self indulgence of young teens and kids and it just made me so nostalgic and happy. To be cringe is to be free, I’ll always love things like this
when i was a kid, i had this undertale oc named Phoenix who, shockingly, was a phoenix, and she was made specifically to ship with Papyrus. later i changed her name to Phoebe but still it's something
the last one is "the bride and her ugly ass groom" fr 😂 honestly I love seeing people return to ye olde days of cringe, maybe I should dust off some of my OCs from middle school
3:39 yeah that’s so relatable 😭 my self-insert is basically Jiro’s quirk but OP (sorry Jiro 🥺) i didn’t originally base them on Jiro, but then i just kinda noticed “oh yeah! Jiro does a similar thing!”
HONESTLY When I put my oc in the MHA universe, I just see her hanging out with the Class 1A students and having cool adventures plus my character is the kind of person who would ramble about different stars, animals and animation soooo.
I wasn't really a selfshipping person before until now that arcane happen and I'm now a Jinx simp I did from time to time heard some dramas from selfshipping people but I think it's okay for most of time since I myself took this behavior as just a way to show your love to a character
Hey, just wanted to say that I appreciate you bringing up FNAFNations and keeping her name alive. After she was harassed and sent death threats by Rebornica's fans, her page was shut down, and she disappeared from the internet. I don't want her to be forgotten, as she was an artist that inspired me just like she did you (seriously, I started my own FNAF fan comic because of her). Thank you for keeping her memory alive.
tbh i've been shipping myself with characters for as long as i can remember and then this year i learned what self-shipping was and i was elated i shit you not. like there was a term for it!!! i've always been the weirdo in the friend group because of it so it's nice to see i'm not alone in loving fictional characters. your self inserts are awesome!
I made *several* oc's for MHA back when I was in high school (15-17). One's that weren't supposed to be self-insert, and were rather, ones for shipping just for funzies . I almost had OC's for all of the male characters (struggled with the girls tho, lol). I actually loved my lil'creations so much that I actually still kind of use them. And heck. I'll publically embarrass myself. Here's a small list of three of them, including backstories for those curious: *Rika Smith:* She was shipped with Bakugou and had a quirk very similar to Hawk's. She was inspired by an old, now deserted RUclips channel called, Dark Tingles Asmr. A channel that specialized in making asmr roleplays where the listener lived with a toxic & abusive boyfriend. Before Rika met Bakugou, she of course had an abusive boyfriend. Terrified for her life. She used her quirk to fly away from America and to Japan to live with her mom. Rika's mom was Japanese, while her dad was an American (adding that for context since she has a Japanese first name and an American last name). After sorting out her citizenship with a lot of paperwork on her mom's end, she's allowed to _legally_ move to Japan. Where she got accepted into U.A. because of her quirk. Rika uses a childish joking personality to make herself come off as more confident that she actually is. She would initially occasionally jokingly taunt and tease Katsuki just to mess with him. In her own selfish way, it was a way of taking out (some) of her frustrations from her previous relationship onto a person who has a similar crash & cruel personality. But eventually. She comes to realize, that unlike her ex, Bakugou is capable and willing to change. That he can genuinely be sweet. And she dropped her act and apologized to him. ~ *Sakura & Ryoko:* Two sisters born to, two villain parents with demon related quirks. Their mom having a succubus transformation quirk. And their dad being a regular demon transformation quirk. Ryoko was the first child that they very clearly _didn't_ want since she was born with a carbon copy of her dad's quirk. While Sakura was their favorite, due to her receiving her mother's quirk, like planned (don't worry I kept it pg-13, and never went _too far with it_ , and I keep her quirk as a "look into her eyes and you'll wanna do anything she demands" type of thing). Despite Sakura being their favorite though, they never actually showed any care towards her. Making it clear that they only wanted her for her quirk during robberies. The blatant favoritism would cause Ryoko to run away when she was only 6 years old. Leaving a then 5 year old Sakura, behind. Since Ryoko was deemed a mistake, her parents didn't bother looking for her, which turned into their downfall since Ryoko served as an extra set of eyes to alert them when Pro-Hero's were going to show up. After their parents were arrested. Sakura would be taken in by MidNight, and would go on to attend Nabu High along side Shinso (the character that she'd be shipped with). Where she, along with Shinso, were relentlessly bullied for their quirks. But Sakura more so, for her ever having been related to villians in the first place. She'd eventually go on to attempt to get into U.A.'s hero course with Shinso. Doing so because not only her crush on him, but also because of her seeing him as an inspiration. But would unfortunately fail. And end up having to try a few more times to join the hero course. For context, she didn't wanna be a neppo-baby & , so she along with Aizawa, refused to just let Midnight let her into the hero course. Ryoko would remain on the streets until she turned 16. When she was hunted down by Aizawa and Midnight, to be put into U.A.'s villain rehabilitation program (generic, ik). Ryoko's receiving rehab partially due to how helpful her enhanced strength, endurance and speed would be on the Pro hero's side. But also due to her quirks demands. Which requires her to consume flesh or blood (emo edgey generic lol). After she first gets to U.A. and, mandatorily, introduces herself. She slowly goes through the grueling process of adapting to socializing with other people. And because of her previous self imposed isolation. Proves to be hard. Especially with one of her fellow 1-A classmates, Kirishima, who in her own words - makes her feel "sick to her stomach". - Which is just her feeling butterflies in her stomach.
I have this one oc that used to be a self insert, not rlly she was a projextion of what i wantes to be (look wise) but i would imagine her as if she was me yk? Anyways she was places in mha class 1a and she would be this tall quiet and reserved girl that looks normal but no it was all just a disguise she was axtually a idk honestly she mostly lingered in my crazy mind and in my gacha club (💀) but i do remmeber that in her "real form she had purple hair bcs i was also obsessed with purple and kokichi ouma and she had a ghost power inspired by tbhk pretty sure she was a vigilante but oh well, later in the story she would "betray" class 1a and the heroes for the villians i also created ish (they didnt have a design so i would imagine whatever) oh! But look at that she actually pretendinf to betray them so that she could trick the villain and manslaughter him 😇💀 she wasnt really shipped with anyone but when i did want her to be with someone for some reason it would be a random woman (yes she was lesbian) it would change for whoever i thought was pretty but it these ships wouldnt last
I unironically have 55 Genshin Impact OCs, of which 32 are "self" inserts, like... they're not "me" they don't look, act, or have anything in common with me, but they are characters I've made that are shipped with Genshin men. (if you're curious, the exceptions are Childe, Zhongli, and Aether, because Childe/Lumine, Aether/Hu Tao, and Zhongli/Guizhong) I do have actual persona characters and of my 8 sonas, only my Spidersona and self-proclaimed Batsona (DC) are shipped with anyone (Peter Parker and Jason Todd respectively) I try and gaslight myself into believing it's not cringe
Gosh i love every single oc here and the stories with the liked shows or games! I relate to it really strongly, even tho im 21 already, and am also in my my little pony era! Only thing i can draw atm are ponnies! There is too much stress surrounded the topic, people should just enjoy it as much as possible without the CRINGE part, there is literally nothing to cringe about! Draw! Have fun! Make stories!
I love it sm!! But just like anything too much/too intense of it is bad! (Like water, too much water isn't good for you, water at a high pressure isn't good etc) so as long as it doesn't negatively affect anyone it's chill!! (I love self inserts, I have a f1 insert so I don't think it could be more cringe lol)
it makes me remember that time in 2022 where i self ship with yuri from dirty pair, i don't do it as much as it used to be anymore, but i found it sad that people thinks self shipping is "disgusting" and "cringe", self shipping is fun, harmless, and doesn't interfere with canon, and yet people still hate them
10:20 DUDE I INSTANTLY KNEW WHEN I SAW FRITZ!!!! but you’re SOOO real !!! i shipped my self insert at the time with Mike Schmidt 🗣️🗣️🗣️ little me was crazy head over heels for Mike and it’s so wild to see a FNAFNations mention in 2024 because i was THERE on DA when that whole thing happened (realistically, i should have been focusing on my elementary homework but…)
"Being cringe is to be free" I still like self-shipping tbh haha I relate to you soo much, I simped for Mike form fnaf and from the same creator when i was younger XD I'm also an aquarius haha
I love self shipping!! It’s just so fun and lowkey encouraged depending on the fandom you’re in. But my favorite part is on the nose naming for my self insert. I blame monster high for my love of corny on the nose names.
This reminds me of my elementary school friend group where we pretended to be dimension travelers so we could have OCs for a ton of different fandoms. There was also one original world where we were all goddesses. I was the goddess of water and my OC was a blue and black tiger. We were so dedicated to our OCs that me and my best friend even dressed up as them for Halloween one year
I have an OC that started out as me if I was a Creepypasta (yeah...), but then she turned into her own (still self-insert) character and I put her in EVERYTHING! And I mean, EVERYTHING! Marvel? Hell yeah! Random movie that I hate? Hell yeah! Random book series that I love but have only read the last book that is also a movie but I didn't know that until a month ago? Hell yeah! Random person on the internet's little world with their little guys? HELL YEAH! My in-universe explanation is that she can travel to different dimensions, but it is very inconsistent. This video was very inspiring! I am now going to draw her in EVERYTHING. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING!🤩🤩🤩

I can't ship myself with characters personally because even if I really like a character I just don't feel that way about them. I usually just make ship ocs.
Specifically if I don't like them with any canon characters.
Personally I think it's more fun that way.
I do understand people that self-ship, I always just did it with self inserts and that's why I laughed so hard at this video because it brought back memories I forgot I had. I don't do it anymore, but I am guilty of still making self inserts. So, I think that it's okay to do things like this to a certain level, it's a different way of showing your love for a certain piece of media
i once self inserted myself on one of my stories to ship myself with one of my OCs because she's everything i love in a woman (smart, dark skinned, chubby, has a pixie cut and a stinger)
Honestly shelfship and selfinsert are interesting for me to see. And I enjoy seeing others indulge in what makes them happy. Now for me, I don’t make selfinserts as I do make whole new Oc’s for the thing I am hyperfixated on. Like there are not me at all but I still enjoy it
*Shelfship*
I got the notification for this video while drawing selfship art-
REAL..
IM CACKLING AT THE “HEY UA” THING BC ITS SUCH A ‘INSIDE’ JOKE WITH MY BSF TO RANDOMLY QOUTE THAT 💀
What’s weird for me is: usually when I make OCs, shipping is rarely a concern. Sometimes I have an idea of who’s getting paired with who, but I’m just not a massive shipper in general. You can spot the Aro/ace in me from a mile away.
But when it comes to my self-inserts… it’s a weird grey area. It’s along the lines of “I really like X character and I wanna be really close friends with them, and I want them to love me, protect me, tell me everything’s gonna be alright.” Pretty much everything shy of kissing. It’s almost like a weird inbetween of “best friends” and “dating”
It’s gotten to the point where I’m questioning if I’m really Aromantic, but that’s not really a conversation to have here so imma just… stop here.
One big aspect of Self-shipping for me (which I’m hoping I’m not the only one who does this) is reusing/recycling a self-insert or self-insert character design into other forms of media (usually anime).
Funnily enough my second(?) mha insert had ‘Karma’ as her hero name (she was initially a Black Clover self-insert)
the Fix-It-Felix threw me OFFFF 😭😭 self-shipping is amazing, i love the freedom y'all got, honestly slay ❤️❤️❤️
I spent over a week drawing the different outfits for my MHA oc/self-insert. Her quirk is Hydrokinesis (so basically she’s a waterbender lol). I also made her Midoriya’s childhood friend, but they have more of a sibling relationship, and she absolutely hated Bakugo. I ship her with Iida, and in my headcannon, she replaces Mineta 😂
I love that your OC replaces Mineta. I hate that guy lol
@@skitten02tapp99 Lol same. Her hair is mostly purple, so it still works 😁
The self shipping with Bakugo and the self insert moving away and coming back is so real bc same 😭😭
This video lowkey made me feel better abt my self-insert OC that I ship with Licorice Cookie of all characters... 😣
PLEASE I HAD ONE TOO (they’re now toxic exes)
I also have one w red panna cotta cookie and peach blossom cookie 😭
Man this brought back memories of little me self shipping myself with characters from the DreamSMP.
She somehow had magic despite that not even being to happen in this world, some of the things she did would entirely break cannon that shouldn’t have even been implemented, and the characters I shipped her with were canonically gay in the server and in real life, which now I feel kinda bad for.
I do think my situation is a tad different since little me was shipping herself with Minecraft men who were real people behind the screen and not just pixels. I think that further hindered me from taking an interest after that.
I’ve personally had a negative connection to Self Shipping since when I did it it was in a bad fandom and little me ignored real people’s sexualities, but I think if you approach it in a mature way by not being weird you’ll be fine. It’s just harmless fun after all :]
Self shipping is all fun and I don’t get the hate. But what I DO hate is when ppl change the entire personality of the og character just to ship, like NO bakugou would not call you “kitty whiskers” or “my sweet honey bunches of baskets”
Future me is this gonna be about the stupid roblox pressure drama
I genuinely thought it would be too 😭😭
I have a boyfriend /irl, and I fucking love selfshipping and self inserts, LET PEOPLE BE SILLY!!!!!!
I’ve been WAITINGGG for you to post this, I love self-shipping
My first fictional crush was Guy from The Croods, although I didn’t make a self-insert until a couple years after I started making them. She was a nature girlie with cool striped leaf pants, with a purple petal top. Her hair was curly blonde, with the lower half being a matching purple (I used the same hair design for a Hunger Games insert as well).
I’m grateful for my younger self for getting into that stuff because it led me to writing my own stories and original characters
I've always had self inserts, but all the ones i currently use don't get really shipped with any character unless it's an otome game i play. Every self insert for me is just a way ro explore possible platonic relationships with characters or to just have fun drawing their powers or imagining cool scenes with said powers. I think it's a very useful way to express feelings one can't in their daily lives.
Inkiio: *explains how self shipping isn’t bad*
Me and my list of unreal and monstrous boyfriends from almost every anime I watched: YIPPEE
(I feel valid and not that cringe anymore)
00:20 It me! :D
YOOOOOO IT YOU! =}
him
i literally have multiple self insert ocs for every anime, game and book that i like
I personally don't delve too much into self shipping, makes me feel weird (might be cause I'm aroace)
I also don't tend to read too much of it cause I'm too attached to my canon, fanan, and headcanon ships
But I have read a few really really good ones that I genuinely enjoyed
i love selfshipping, the oc i use it with the most ive had for years because the media i use it with has been a hyperfixation for years. the media's fandom i made the oc for tends to despise selfshipping, but i selfship with one of the most hated characters in said fandom loll (i will probably not name the media or character unless i feel like it idk cuz i wanna start posting about them, oh well)
SUKI IS SOOOO PRETTY I LOVE HER. I like wayy too much the "my marks glow when im angry or sad etc" i started giggling like crazy with the yesyesyesyes THIS!!! THE TOP STEREOTYPICAL THING!
ONE OF US
I think selfshipping is great, I do it all the time and I see nothing wrong with it. Plus it can be exceptionally cathartic in many ways, and can lead to great arts, too. ^^
Self shipping keeps me going mentally and ive been doing it since I was 9 (im now 19) and its so healing must say
This whole video had me grinning so wide. It’s just the pure, unapologetic creativity and self indulgence of young teens and kids and it just made me so nostalgic and happy. To be cringe is to be free, I’ll always love things like this
Now I’m thinking of making my own self insert ocs,I regret not finding self insert ocs sooner 😭
WAKE UP INKIIO POSTED (I have a mha oc who isn't shipped with anyone YET i haven't worked on her lore)
As a famous person once said: “don’t kill the part of you that’s cringe, kill the part of you that cringes.”
It makes me so happy i don't understand how people hate it
when i was a kid, i had this undertale oc named Phoenix who, shockingly, was a phoenix, and she was made specifically to ship with Papyrus. later i changed her name to Phoebe but still it's something
the last one is "the bride and her ugly ass groom" fr 😂
honestly I love seeing people return to ye olde days of cringe, maybe I should dust off some of my OCs from middle school
I love self shipping. Ive been doing it as long as I can remember. The first character I ever made an oc to ship them with was N from pokemon lol
3:39 yeah that’s so relatable 😭 my self-insert is basically Jiro’s quirk but OP (sorry Jiro 🥺) i didn’t originally base them on Jiro, but then i just kinda noticed “oh yeah! Jiro does a similar thing!”
Some other people (me) use character ai to satisfy their self shipping 💀👍
HONESTLY When I put my oc in the MHA universe, I just see her hanging out with the Class 1A students and having cool adventures plus my character is the kind of person who would ramble about different stars, animals and animation soooo.
Self shipping can either be cringe or not, as long as you don’t over do it, it’ll be alright! 🩷👏
I wasn't really a selfshipping person before until now that arcane happen and I'm now a Jinx simp
I did from time to time heard some dramas from selfshipping people but I think it's okay for most of time since I myself took this behavior as just a way to show your love to a character
Hey, just wanted to say that I appreciate you bringing up FNAFNations and keeping her name alive. After she was harassed and sent death threats by Rebornica's fans, her page was shut down, and she disappeared from the internet. I don't want her to be forgotten, as she was an artist that inspired me just like she did you (seriously, I started my own FNAF fan comic because of her). Thank you for keeping her memory alive.
Omg as the last character’s crush was being revealed I was begging for it to be Bulk biceps (only true MLP fans remember him 😂😭)
I am cringe but I am free. Proud self-shipper here (Sniper TF2 my beloved).
Your art when you were seven was actually pretty darn good
I feel you, I used to have a self insert oc and use it for that type of stuff 😭😭😭😭😭
Dude my mha oc was a blue skinned hothead who was besties with Tsuyu and had beef with Iida lmao
tbh i've been shipping myself with characters for as long as i can remember and then this year i learned what self-shipping was and i was elated i shit you not. like there was a term for it!!! i've always been the weirdo in the friend group because of it so it's nice to see i'm not alone in loving fictional characters. your self inserts are awesome!
I made *several* oc's for MHA back when I was in high school (15-17). One's that weren't supposed to be self-insert, and were rather, ones for shipping just for funzies . I almost had OC's for all of the male characters (struggled with the girls tho, lol). I actually loved my lil'creations so much that I actually still kind of use them. And heck. I'll publically embarrass myself. Here's a small list of three of them, including backstories for those curious:
*Rika Smith:* She was shipped with Bakugou and had a quirk very similar to Hawk's. She was inspired by an old, now deserted RUclips channel called, Dark Tingles Asmr. A channel that specialized in making asmr roleplays where the listener lived with a toxic & abusive boyfriend. Before Rika met Bakugou, she of course had an abusive boyfriend. Terrified for her life. She used her quirk to fly away from America and to Japan to live with her mom. Rika's mom was Japanese, while her dad was an American (adding that for context since she has a Japanese first name and an American last name). After sorting out her citizenship with a lot of paperwork on her mom's end, she's allowed to _legally_ move to Japan. Where she got accepted into U.A. because of her quirk.
Rika uses a childish joking personality to make herself come off as more confident that she actually is. She would initially occasionally jokingly taunt and tease Katsuki just to mess with him. In her own selfish way, it was a way of taking out (some) of her frustrations from her previous relationship onto a person who has a similar crash & cruel personality. But eventually. She comes to realize, that unlike her ex, Bakugou is capable and willing to change. That he can genuinely be sweet. And she dropped her act and apologized to him.

*Sakura & Ryoko:* Two sisters born to, two villain parents with demon related quirks. Their mom having a succubus transformation quirk. And their dad being a regular demon transformation quirk. Ryoko was the first child that they very clearly _didn't_ want since she was born with a carbon copy of her dad's quirk. While Sakura was their favorite, due to her receiving her mother's quirk, like planned (don't worry I kept it pg-13, and never went _too far with it_ , and I keep her quirk as a "look into her eyes and you'll wanna do anything she demands" type of thing). Despite Sakura being their favorite though, they never actually showed any care towards her. Making it clear that they only wanted her for her quirk during robberies.
The blatant favoritism would cause Ryoko to run away when she was only 6 years old. Leaving a then 5 year old Sakura, behind. Since Ryoko was deemed a mistake, her parents didn't bother looking for her, which turned into their downfall since Ryoko served as an extra set of eyes to alert them when Pro-Hero's were going to show up. After their parents were arrested. Sakura would be taken in by MidNight, and would go on to attend Nabu High along side Shinso (the character that she'd be shipped with). Where she, along with Shinso, were relentlessly bullied for their quirks. But Sakura more so, for her ever having been related to villians in the first place. She'd eventually go on to attempt to get into U.A.'s hero course with Shinso. Doing so because not only her crush on him, but also because of her seeing him as an inspiration. But would unfortunately fail. And end up having to try a few more times to join the hero course. For context, she didn't wanna be a neppo-baby & , so she along with Aizawa, refused to just let Midnight let her into the hero course.
Ryoko would remain on the streets until she turned 16. When she was hunted down by Aizawa and Midnight, to be put into U.A.'s villain rehabilitation program (generic, ik). Ryoko's receiving rehab partially due to how helpful her enhanced strength, endurance and speed would be on the Pro hero's side. But also due to her quirks demands. Which requires her to consume flesh or blood (emo edgey generic lol). After she first gets to U.A. and, mandatorily, introduces herself. She slowly goes through the grueling process of adapting to socializing with other people. And because of her previous self imposed isolation. Proves to be hard. Especially with one of her fellow 1-A classmates, Kirishima, who in her own words - makes her feel "sick to her stomach". - Which is just her feeling butterflies in her stomach.
drawing my childhood ocs/redrawing my art from when i was a child heals something in me
Laughs in selfshipper
I have this one oc that used to be a self insert, not rlly she was a projextion of what i wantes to be (look wise) but i would imagine her as if she was me yk? Anyways she was places in mha class 1a and she would be this tall quiet and reserved girl that looks normal but no it was all just a disguise she was axtually a idk honestly she mostly lingered in my crazy mind and in my gacha club (💀) but i do remmeber that in her "real form she had purple hair bcs i was also obsessed with purple and kokichi ouma and she had a ghost power inspired by tbhk pretty sure she was a vigilante but oh well, later in the story she would "betray" class 1a and the heroes for the villians i also created ish (they didnt have a design so i would imagine whatever) oh! But look at that she actually pretendinf to betray them so that she could trick the villain and manslaughter him 😇💀 she wasnt really shipped with anyone but when i did want her to be with someone for some reason it would be a random woman (yes she was lesbian) it would change for whoever i thought was pretty but it these ships wouldnt last
Nothing could've prepared me for who your 7y/o oc was shipped with
I unironically have 55 Genshin Impact OCs, of which 32 are "self" inserts, like... they're not "me" they don't look, act, or have anything in common with me, but they are characters I've made that are shipped with Genshin men. (if you're curious, the exceptions are Childe, Zhongli, and Aether, because Childe/Lumine, Aether/Hu Tao, and Zhongli/Guizhong)
I do have actual persona characters and of my 8 sonas, only my Spidersona and self-proclaimed Batsona (DC) are shipped with anyone (Peter Parker and Jason Todd respectively) I try and gaslight myself into believing it's not cringe
Gosh i love every single oc here and the stories with the liked shows or games! I relate to it really strongly, even tho im 21 already, and am also in my my little pony era! Only thing i can draw atm are ponnies! There is too much stress surrounded the topic, people should just enjoy it as much as possible without the CRINGE part, there is literally nothing to cringe about! Draw! Have fun! Make stories!
self shipping is better than those that use other characters as their self insert and claim its canon
I love it sm!! But just like anything too much/too intense of it is bad! (Like water, too much water isn't good for you, water at a high pressure isn't good etc) so as long as it doesn't negatively affect anyone it's chill!! (I love self inserts, I have a f1 insert so I don't think it could be more cringe lol)
After you said “i hate her i hate her i want her dead” i got an ad cutting it off a little lol
All the OC’s you made are adorable!
it makes me remember that time in 2022 where i self ship with yuri from dirty pair, i don't do it as much as it used to be anymore, but i found it sad that people thinks self shipping is "disgusting" and "cringe", self shipping is fun, harmless, and doesn't interfere with canon, and yet people still hate them
10:20 DUDE I INSTANTLY KNEW WHEN I SAW FRITZ!!!!
but you’re SOOO real !!! i shipped my self insert at the time with Mike Schmidt 🗣️🗣️🗣️ little me was crazy head over heels for Mike
and it’s so wild to see a FNAFNations mention in 2024 because i was THERE on DA when that whole thing happened (realistically, i should have been focusing on my elementary homework but…)
14:55 i NEED her I need HER UGH LET ME PLEASE PLEEEEAAASDE 😭😭
"Being cringe is to be free" I still like self-shipping tbh haha I relate to you soo much, I simped for Mike form fnaf and from the same creator when i was younger XD I'm also an aquarius haha
I wonder if it comes down to self confidence. like I don’t want to wedge myself alongside my favorite characters I hate myself
its better than shipping urself with someone who IS a real person !!
My selfshipping tactic is to ship the character I like with the character I relate to so other people have made content for me already.
I love self shipping!! It’s just so fun and lowkey encouraged depending on the fandom you’re in. But my favorite part is on the nose naming for my self insert. I blame monster high for my love of corny on the nose names.
This reminds me of my elementary school friend group where we pretended to be dimension travelers so we could have OCs for a ton of different fandoms. There was also one original world where we were all goddesses. I was the goddess of water and my OC was a blue and black tiger. We were so dedicated to our OCs that me and my best friend even dressed up as them for Halloween one year
Nothing wrong with self-shipping, several of my friends are into it.
Good way of coping through depression & loneliness
I still make selfship ocs, mostly cookie run but I have a pressure oc I (half jokingly) ship with imaginary friend
10:24 the way i KNEW you were about to talk about rebornica and the other guy. (i was into the other person, but I was more of a rebornica lover)
I feel like one of the only MHA self shippers that didnt ship myself with bakugo, instead it was todoroki
I am very interested in those bnha villain ocs. For no particular reason at all :)
I have an OC that started out as me if I was a Creepypasta (yeah...), but then she turned into her own (still self-insert) character and I put her in EVERYTHING! And I mean, EVERYTHING! Marvel? Hell yeah! Random movie that I hate? Hell yeah! Random book series that I love but have only read the last book that is also a movie but I didn't know that until a month ago? Hell yeah! Random person on the internet's little world with their little guys? HELL YEAH! My in-universe explanation is that she can travel to different dimensions, but it is very inconsistent.
This video was very inspiring! I am now going to draw her in EVERYTHING. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING!🤩🤩🤩
bit late but i feel the need to comment as i watch this again; i would LOVE to see a long video of you talking about all ur oc's in detail :D
