Castle of Dreams is a tight-knit social selfship* server!

We accept members regardless of what label you use! Selfship, OC x Canon, Yume, Ficto, etc. are all welcome! Any time "selfship" or "relationship" are used, we intend to include everyone.

You can use this site to learn more about our server!

Thank you for your interest! We are closing applications due to an overwhelming amount of responses. We will get back to everyone shortly!

🏰 This is a drama-free space! Please do not bring hate, competitive behaviour, elitism, discourse, callouts, or such to our server.🏰 Be respectful, this is personal to everyone!
I trust everyone to be open minded. We don't accept judgement, please be mindful while getting to know each other and their ships.🏰 Make the server a social space!
Do not solely focus on yourself, please make the effort to respond to others! Please reconsider joining if you have no interest in interacting with others.🏰 Regarding boundaries.. we do not accept doubles of characters listed as non-sharing. However, if anybody becomes a double after the fact, or if sharing statuses change, then please work this out civilly.🏰 This server is 18+ only! However, NSFW content is contained in optional channels.🏰 Inactive members are removed periodically!
To maintain a comfortable sized server, we remove members who go weeks without engaging. Notice in advance is always given, however.⚠️ We politely ask that those who apply are interested in being active! Obviously we don't expect everyone to be active daily, but if you know you'll just end up muting the server or if you aren't interested in talking to others, then please reconsider..!

This is where we try and pitch why think you should consider joining our lil server..!🏰 The server has been running since November 2024 and is still active, so please don't worry about joining a server that is going to drop dead within a few weeks.🏰 We have regular hangouts and community events !! We have game nights every Tuesday and Friday, at least one movie night a month, and a monthly event to determine our Mascot Of The Month! We also hang out in VC regularly outside of scheduled hangouts, these include productivity, vibing, and such.🏰 Related to the point above, but we have weekly announcements to let everyone know whats going on! You can opt to be pinged in these :)🏰 Semi-regular prompts to get everyone involved! These include questions and scenarios to answer, picrews to make of your ships, templates to fill out.. also silly things like roleplay :)🏰 Encouragement to learn about eachothers f/os and their sources! We have a channel dedicated to making informative threads on sources for others to learn about them! Each member also gets their own channel to do with as they please, whether it be gushing, sharing art, or just general chatter!🏰 Plenty of non-selfship related channels to chatter in! While this is a selfship server, I'd like everyone to be able to chatter casually and so we have plenty of space to talk about other things. These include different interest channels, a channel dedicated to collecting and oshikatsu, media sharing, and so on.🏰 Server changes and such are a group effort. Rather than acting as a sole moderator, all decisions, whether that be amendments to the rules, new channels, activities, etc. are things that everyone is invited to discuss and weigh in on.

After being in many selfship (adjacent) servers over the years, I came to realise there were certain things that I personally didn't enjoy, and wanted to remedy when creating my own server. These include..❌ Posting over eachother being accepted and normalised.
I personally dislike it when servers have "#gush-channel-1" and similar [dump your stuff here without acknowledging anyone else] channels. While I don't expect everyone to respond to every message ever, I encourage members to make everyone feel heard.❌ Having an uncomfortable amount of members.
While some thrive in huge servers, I personally find it very overwhelming when there's 100+ members in a server where I'd like to get to know everyone and their ships. For this reason, the server is usually closed to new members, with specific opening windows after removing inactive members. As of right now, I don't plan on exceeding ~40 members.❌ Joining without knowing if you'll be comfortable as a non-sharer.
I personally find it daunting asking to join a server not knowing if I'll be comfortable, or potentially make anyone else uncomfortable by joining as a double. As such, the Masterlist of everyone's romantic f/os (and other characters that members are uncomfortable sharing) is available to view before joining, and non-sharing boundaries are not crossed to ensure everyone's comfort.❌ Not being welcoming to new members / feeling cliquey.
While the server has been around since 2014, not all of our members have! We're happy to welcome new people into our circle. It's literally part of the sever rules not to leave anyone out, or make anyone feel ignored. While I cant guarantee that everyone will feel like they "fit in", I want to do my best to foster an environment where new members can slot in naturally.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out!💬 "I used to be in the server, but left / was kicked for inactivity. Can I rejoin?"
Yes, of course! If you were removed for inactivity, then I do ask that you try to check in with us now and then and/or make an effort to interact with others as these are two rules of ours that contribute to potentially being removed.💬 "You have me blocked on Twitter, can I still join?"
Feel free to DM me on Discord! I have 3k+ users blocked as I am someone who does so very liberally, most of the time it is not personal.💬 "I wanted to join, but my f/o is listed as non-sharing.."
This is something that I unfortunately see people say when we advertise the server, and I do apologise for the disappointment, but this is not something I'm willing to make passes on. Members comfort comes first and foremost.💬 "I want to join, but I'm shy / not good at talking to others.."
Honestly, as long as the want is there, we encourage you to try! Sometimes you have to push yourself a little. Our members are always happy to meet someone new!💬 "Is it okay to join if we aren't mutuals / friends?"
Yes, of course! It's totally fine to join even if you dont know me or any other members, we're always glad to meet new people!💬 "Can I invite my friend(s)?"
Please ask first! As long as there isn't any overlap regarding the masterlist, and they agree with the rules, then it should be okay!

We are currently open! 🎉

If you're interested in joining, please read over our rules!We require that potential new members check over the Masterlist to ensure that there is no overlap with people who are uncomfortable sharing.We cannot accept members that have romantic ships with characters listed as non-sharing.

Please note that this masterlist is not solely comprised of romantic f/os, but also includes familial f/os, kins, etc. that members aren't comfortable seeing in romantic pairings. Boundaries are respected regardless.

If all is okay, please either respond to a post advertising the server, or DM me on Discord or Twitter (@charizardpose), or Tumblr (beeon).⚠️ _{Please do not DM me on bsky as I do not have access to them..!}

Please don't apply if you aren't willing to engage with others, and/or know you're just going to mute the server.We're looking for active members!
