Hi sorry I'm coming across some posts of people being confused if proship means 'problematic ship' and people misusing the term proship FOR problematic ship who call themselves a proshipper, I think I've even used proship as a broad term on my blog to INCLUDE people who are darkship, who are still proship, since I think many of my followers are darkshippers, but I've been trying to make sure I say 'proship darkshippers' instead to avoid confusion, but. Proship is 'for shipping', pro = for. It's anti-harassment with fictional ships, the idea that every fictional ship deserves to exist without the enjoyers of said ship being harassed for it no matter the nature of the ship and no matter if that ship isn't your cup of tea. Blocking instead of harassing if it's a ship you dislike and not looking at the content made of that ship but keeping in mind that just because you dislike it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist in fiction, things like that. Profiction is the same concept except replace ships/shipping with fiction in general, once again pro = for. Darkshipping/darkfiction (or some people use the phrase 'dead dove do not eat', dead dove being the indicator that the media has dark content in it) is the term used for when a ship or a piece of fictional content has dark ideas incorporated into it. Like incest, non-consensual sex, adult x minor/loli/shota, etc.
Now here's the fickle part. A person can in fact be a darkshipper and enjoy dark fictional content and still not be a proshipper. A proshipper does not NEED to be a darkshipper, they are just anti-harassment. A darkshipper can, let's say, like incest ships, but if they dislike minor x adult ships, and they decide to harass someone who does enjoy those ships and believe that minor x adult ships shouldn't exist because they think it's 'too far' or 'too gross', they are not proship. Alternatively, someone could be very uncomfortable by any sort of darkship, they only like ships that have healthy dynamics and never incorporate dark ideas into their ships, but they don't harass people who do indulge in darkships and don't believe in the censorship of said ships just because they don't like it (they block and curate their online experience to fit their boundaries instead of going out of their way to harass people who break said boundaries). That person is a proshipper. So to reiterate, proship does not mean problematic ship, darkship is the term you're looking for. Now, knowing how words tend to change overtime in communities, perhaps I'm wrong or I've stated some incorrect information, and if I have please correct me 😭 but if not, I hope this all makes sense and helps at least someone out whose been confused.
When I feel better, I was thinking about starting some more self-ship centered posts like imagines and maybe reblog games if anyone is interested. All for proselfshippers of course! And still post general proship positivity and encouragement while I'm at it. I also draw and have improved a lot over the years so, BUT if this doesn't interest you guys on this blog I'll make a separate blog instead :) !
That anon had the most atrocious energy so to get rid of those nasty vibes I just wanna say your an amazing person and a beacon of light❤️
You're so sweet, thank you! You're an amazing person as well, and I deeply appreciate this. I hope only positive energy flows your way. Take care and I hope you'll have an amazing day/night <3
Nonsharing proselfshippers here's your little reminder to take a few minutes off the screen and imagine your f/o / partner holding you close, reminding you that you matter and that your love will always be the most precious to them. They can't imagine being in a world without you, their love for you runs deeper than the blood in their veins, a portion of their beating heart will forever belong to you, even if it weren't beating. No matter how many times they tell you they love you, they mean it more and more every single time. I know it can be tough online for one reason or another, but always remember no matter your circumstances- whether you own merch or you don't, whether you post about your f/o or you don't, whether you're able to make art or you can't, your relationship will always be real and true. Take it easy, they love you so much and nothing will change that.
Hi proship darkshippers who struggle with moral OCD, just wanted to remind you that your fictional ships and interests do NOT make you a bad person what-so-ever. You are still a good person and the fact you don't go out of your way to harass people over their own fictional interests, the fact you don't wish harm on real people, is just one of many reasons why you ARE in fact a good person! It's okay to like dark media, it's okay to want to explore said media through art and writing and etc, your interest in these fictional ideas does not reflect your morals in real life situations. Repeat after me: You aren't harming anyone, you are not hurting any real, living person, by being interested in dark media. It's okay, you're okay, I promise. <3
Just a reminder that 1. You owe absolutely nobody an 'explanation' on why you enjoy dark fictional content and 2. You don't NEED to indulge in dark fictional content for the sole purpose of coping with trauma/processing trauma for it to be a valid use of your time and attention. If you do, that's wonderful and I'm so glad it provides you with that comfort, but it isn't an obligation to be able to enjoy it. Have fun with it, and please don't let what others say make you feel like you need to explain yourself, or that you need to be doing it for trauma related reasons, because that isn't true. Okay? Okay. Take care now!
Hey so I have a question what's a radqueer? Feel free to ignore if you don't feel like answering
To be honest I've been wondering this too 😭 I feel like everytime I try to read up on it something different is said. I don't know what identities/labels are included nor if they're in good faith or anything so that's why i haven't voiced my view on radqueers, I don't know enough 😭 If anyone sees this and would like to provide an answer it'd be much appreciated!

Kill yourself
Did you know i'm a real person that you're saying this to, how does this make you any better than me when all I do is support peoples freedom in expressing their fictional creativity lol
Well now that i'm back, hello proship community, i've missed you <3
Proship has always been and will always be valid! Proshipping existed well before the discourse became a thing! Back when people shipped sebaciel without batting an eye and read whatever the hell they wanted without the fear of being a 'bad person'. When everyone knew that finding these topics interesting in fiction didn't correlate to their views irl. When people knew to block what they didn't like, and didn't threaten real people over their own dislikes. These things have always existed in fandom spaces, and though it's valid to hate certain dynamics and topics in fiction it doesn't mean anyone deserves to be threatened and harassed if they do like those fictional ideas! I love you proshippers and you are always welcome here!
