#Nonhuman F/O

[lovelystarship]

★ : i think you'd agree that, if your f/o possesses a tail, it's just so fun to imagine how it would act around you. how it starts a slow wag once you enter the room and speeds up after you say hi. maybe they try their best to suppress it, but ultimately fail and turn red just in time with your gasp of realization.

if it's long enough, their tail hangs around your form often as if to indicate "frequently seen together. do not separate". it wraps around you sometimes — your legs, arms, wherever you're most comfortable. if you don't want that kind of contact, f/o just keeps it next to you like some kind of barrier between your surroundings and the little space bubble you two share.

and if their tail is really short, you can just coo at how cute it is and watch them get flustered. is it sensitive ¿ would they allow touching ¿ so many possibilities !

Horror Movie Time with Sonic F/Os

General imagines for watching horror films with Sonic characters! What types they're into, what kind of movie watcher they are, etc. I originally wanted them to be able to be read as romantic or platonic, but eventually I just kinda went full romance.

Characters: Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Amy, Rouge, Omega

Spoiler warnings for Poltergeist and Alien, and a very minor spoiler warning for The Thing

Sonic:

Is more a fan of the 'campy' horror movies, although he'll also watch slashers - they get his blood pumping and his heart racing, and he lives for that. He doesn't like seeing you actually afraid, so he'll definitely take your tastes into account when picking a movie- if you say no to a specific thing, he'll tease you a bit but he'll pick something else.

Does NOT like supernatural horror. He will not watch ghost movies. He won't watch movies about doomsday scenarios. Basically, if he doesn't think he could fight it off in real life, it horrifies him and he can't stop thinking about it. What if that stuff happened to him? Happened to you? Haunts him for days or months afterwards. You made the mistake of watching The Thing with him, and for three weeks afterwards you had to talk him out of making you do the blood test every time you were apart for more than 5 hours.

He's fine with werewolf movies, for obvious reasons. Been there, done that, still tries to use his foot to scratch his ear sometimes.

All in all, he just wants to have fun with the movie, and with you. If you say 'tonight, we are watching a bunch of Disney Channel Original Scary Movies and eating our weight in popcorn,' he'll be just as happy as if you wanted to watch every Halloween movie.

Shadow:

Is a more all-around moviegoer, although since meeting you, he's found slashers are harder to watch. He can't help but think about you suffering through those scenarios, and ultimately dying.

Meanwhile, he loves sci-fi and supernatural horror. He's a product of science, he knows what it can do, so he can completely relax when watching movies like Alien.

In fact, and he'd never tell you this, he likes that one a LOT more after meeting you. He can easily see you in Ripley's place- resourceful, smart, trying to keep everyone alive. Going back for Jonesy seems like something you would do. He likes imagining you, triumphant, coming home to him.

Shadow likes it a LOT when you cling tightly to him- you can grab his arm as hard as you want, you can squeeze him like you're a boa constrictor, whatever. It doesn't hurt him, he's the Ultimate Lifeform! He likes the physical contact that he doesn't have to ask for, but he also very much enjoys knowing he makes you feel safe.

You should definitely expect him to start appraising the movie afterwards- he doesn't actually care, but he wants to talk to you and he's not great at conversations without a set topic. Please indulge him.

Silver:

is kind of a weenie and and doesn't really like actually scary movies all that much. He's been through enough, thank you. He's much more of a children's Halloween movie guy- your Mostly Ghostlys, your Scary Godmothers, your Cry Baby Lanes. Basically, nothing scarier than Tremors.

If you do make him watch a horror film, he's shaking in the first five minutes, and once bodies start piling up he's crying into your shirt.

There is one exception.

He loves Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist. Everything about it speaks to him, and he loves sharing it with you. He'll hold your hand whenever Steve and Diane are supporting each other, and he'll pull you into his chest and hold you during the scary parts. Afterwards, he'll tell you about how he hopes you two can be together like that someday- how he'll never abandon you when things get tough, and how he knows you'll stick by him, too.

He likes it because throughout all the horrible things, everyone is looking out for each other. He loves that everyone lives. And if you like the movie, too? He's the happiest hedgehog that ever lived.

Rouge:

Is a big fan of slashers- the gorier the better! She's the kind to cheer when some idiot gets murdered. But she also much prefers watching them at home, with you. She wants her head in your lap, taking sips of red wine in between mouthfuls of heart-stoppingly buttery popcorn, just having a great time with you.

But, and you won't find this out on the first date, she's also a huge film buff and adores the cult classics. If you so much as mention cult horror, she'll start trying to get you to watch her Criterion Collection DVD of Hausu, and wants to discuss the finer points of horror.

And she is trusting you not to spoil her reputation by telling anybody else about this. Especially you shouldn't tell anybody that she LOVES Them!

She also really likes horror films with a romantic bent, and she keeps saying that she'll tease you during them but honestly when the time comes her eyes are glued to the goddamn screen... it's the perfect time to slip your hands into hers.

Amy:

Likes two kinds of horror moves. She loves psychological horror- it keeps her guessing, keeps her engaged. When you watch with her, she likes to voice her theories out loud, and loves to hear your thoughts on it!

In the same vein, she also likes cult classics- her favourite is the 1962 film Carnival of Souls. Expect a lengthy discussion every time you guys watch a more 'cerebral' film- she really does like to hear how you felt about it! It helps her feel like she can see into your world a bit better.

But on days where she doesn't have that much brainpower to spare, she really enjoys a good horror/comedy. Her go-to is the Three Flavour Cornetto trilogy, but honestly she's not that picky. You guys watched Werewolves Within together and about died laughing. The genre is basically the mental equivalent of icecream to her.

Whatever you two watch, you are smushed up together in one corner of the couch. Doesn't matter who's in front and who's behind, one of you has your head in the crook of the neck of the other.

123-Omega:

He also like slashers, and he's kind of unbearable to watch 'em with. Every time anybody dies, he either says 'That would not have happened to me' or 'I would not let that happen to you.'

It's kind of cute, but once you're an hour and seven deaths deep, it can get a bit annoying. That said, you appreciate him for who he is, so you knew this was a bit inevitable and you love him anyway.

Once you asked him what he would do to protect you from 'unkillable' slashers like Michael Meyers, and after a second of thinking, he picked you up, took you out to the gun range, put you down behind him, and proceeded to absolutely obliterate everything in front of him one long, sustained round of heavy fire. Probably used up at least $6k of artillery. He then turned back to you and stated 'Michael Meyers could not survive being turned into a fine mist'

You were still in your jammies, and you couldn't help but laugh so hard you fell over. God bless your loving sentry turret.

~~~

Hope you all enjoyed! These were fun to write for, and I'd definitely be willing to do more for other characters if requested!

People with robot / nonhuman f/os. Hello (shakes your hand)

You have to remember that the longer you spend with them, the more human traits they'll pick up. If there's tic or quirk that you have, a gesture you often make when you talk... They'll start doing it, too. Even if it's totally unlike them. That's what happens... when u love someone....

A few examples:

If they're made of metal or don't have hair of any sorts, imagine them raking fingers over their "scalp" when they're stressed or deep in thought.

Scratching behind ears that they don't have, picking at non existent nails, rubbing their eyes when it's time to rest even though they don't get sleepy

Mimicking common human vocalizations (Hums, stutters, filler words like "uh" "well" "so")

If they have a very professional or robotic way of speaking (or they just aren't 100% fluent in human language), shortening some of the words in their vocabulary (Don't know -> Dunno, etc) and using more contractions/casual words.

Building on that, using figures of speech and expressions that you use! Maybe they end up making up the most bizarre metaphors that really only make sense to them. (If you stop and ask them what tf they're on about, do they get embarrassed and say "Nevermind" ? Do they try to explain?)

I just think it's important. And adorable. So. Yeah you should consider it. Feel free to add on!!!!!!!!!

pro/comship dni thank you.

[gummysharksafterdark]

Need alien f/o to mate with me….. need him to fill me with his clutch….

[articskele]

Shoutout to platonic nonhuman f/os!!!! You go befriend that monster!!!!

[honeydew-wecantwo]

thinking about vampire bite aftercare because it wouldn't be that much different from when ur getting ur blood drawn at a hospital

imagine ur vampire f/o bringing you peanut butter crackers and apple juice and checking in on you every two minutes until u can stand on ur own

[l0v3sickl0s3r]

imagine comparing hand differences with ur f/o.

are their fingers dainty or bony? are their hands veiny or not veiny? do they have callouses or scars on their skin? are their nails long or short? are their nails chipped or perfectly manicured? do they have any bracelets or rings? are there any bandages on their hands? how many fingers do they have? are their palms sweaty or not? are their hands hot or cold? is their skin soft or rough? are they sticky? are they impressively bendable? are they holding anything? do they have dirt under their fingernails? are they fidgety at all? the possibilities are endless! but the best part is how they hold your hand.

★ dear selfshippers with winged f/os: imagine grooming/preening your f/os wings for them. it isn't something they'd trust anyone to do other than you. they trust that you won't hurt them, and additionally, they secretly (or not-so-secretly) enjoy being doted over by you.

[fo-enjoyer]

Imagine your nonhuman f/o that can read minds, reading your mind when you don't know.

F/o usually finds themselves in your thoughts more than theirs when you're around taking notes on your expressions, and how you act depending on what you're thinking. Perhaps it's all just a game to them and think it's fun or they're just awkward about bringing it up or some reason they can't tell you. whatever it is they're still there listening.

Maybe you're thinking about something that makes you flustered. A moment, a trait, ect being completely lost in thought, and conveniently they asked what you're thinking about or they may say/do something related to your thoughts conveniently making you flustered.

Or something more dreadful like an intrusive thought or a bad memory coming back when you least expect it. Thankfully your f/o was there the comfort you, and just knowing the right thing to say. As they make sure to take care with any needs you have.

It could be something more random like you thinking of the weirdest and craziest scenarios in your head, ponder over things that mean nothing to any other person as f/o secretly listen fascinately being amused.

The possibilities are endless, so as your thoughts!

Self shipping community - I want to make a post about how to make friends here / how to survive in the community.

Does anyone have tips they wish to share?

[stars-self-ships]

This is what it's like talking about your non-human romantic F/Os to your friends who don't self-ship.

[veryvaughnny]

I wasn't supposed to tell you this but your f/o was telling me about their plans to marry you.

[nadiside]

You don't like my f/o? Good, more for me 🤗

[stomachacheships]

Tearing up over this. Imagine your vampire f/o making sure you're eating enough 🥺😢

[daynightshipping]
