"Selfship" is a term used within fandom communities to describe the practice of "shipping" or romantically pairing oneself with a fictional character. It is a portmanteau of "self" and "shipping," and it often involves creating fan art, writing stories, or commissioning works that feature the creator's persona alongside their favorite character. This practice is a form of self-insert fiction that allows fans to explore their personal attachments to media in a creative way. While some may find it niche, it is a significant subculture on platforms like Tumblr where users openly share their "selfship" content with mutuals.
