cw: mentions of throwing up, periods and melting in the last paragraphs

I mean this in the best way possible but you need to stop this ghosty.

you can't keep making every single one of ships the epitome of romance, it's making it hard for me to choose favourites😔

I followed you during your sir pentiolous phase, and I only knew a little about him but you two were soo cute together!! I literally started blocking other shippers who shipped with him bc you 2 are just canon to me and I hated seeing him w anyone else.

then when I thought you couldn't get any cooler there was the muichiro phase and I thought "YES!! FELLOW DEMON SLAYER SHIPPER!!" and I was so sure this would be my favourite ship of yours. it was the first media that I not only was very familiar with but was also obsessed with it!!

so even after you got into mouthwashing, I was just chilling on the side lines knowing my otp. but then viktor came along..

and I was thrown for a loop!! I thought your ships couldnr get anymlre iconic, but viktor and emerie are so slay it makes me insane!! they're so powerful that 50% of my willpower to watch arcane came from the sole purpose of being able to understand and support them better!!

and they truly have it all, theyre obsessed with each other, they're bad influences in each other, they'd kill for each other, they're both super hot and have flavors of gay sex I didn't even know was possible, they're so angsty I throw up anytime either of them are mentioned, I need to every fact about them ever!!

okay rant over🤡 this is all very light hearted and half jokey. basically I'm obsessed with your ships and the dynamics you come up with them and hate (/j /lh) viktor and emerie (fucking LYING like a chump) for dethroning muichiro and erena as my favourite ship of yours.

I probably could've just sent you a normal ask saying I love your ships but I guess I was feeling quirky. I blame my period.

anyways enjoy the rest of your day (melts into a puddle cutely)

@i-put-the-s4p-in-s4pphic

No need to choose, in my opinion! All my friends' selfships are my OTPs >:3c

I go through some cycles with my F/Os, but some of them feel way stronger than the others; like Zebruh and Viktor! I have tattoos of both of them (though I won't share them here because body dysmorphia go brrrr)

My main objective when I make self inserts is to make them as similar to me as possible, while sticking to the universe's rules! As well as having a dash of Rule Of Cool, of course XD

Lucky for me, god decided to give me a backstory similar to the ones I'd write for my 2012 DeviantArt OCs, so it's quite easy to take bits and pieces to make it all fit into the narrative just right >:DDD

It's honestly so fun to re-theme my blog around which of my darlings I'm focused on but I honestly hope that my focus on Viktor lasts for a good while! Everything about him is so interesting to me and every time I think about him I just find more and more ideas for my selfship and self insert!!

I would love to learn more about your own selfships, but do forgive me for being shy/afraid to ask every now and then! I just don't wanna seem overwhelming and RSD drives me crazy about stuff like that smh

[bunnylouisegrimes]

A trick of the trade I learned if you're a self shipper (like me), and you feel bothered by others who have the same f/o as you:

So this was advice I recently gave someone in the replies on here because she saw someone else who loved her f/o too, and she felt bothered by it. I wouldn't exactly say I'm a "non-sharer," but I do admit that every once in a while, and more specifically when I see headcanons and content I highly don't agree with featuring my f/os, regardless of self shipping being involved or not, it does bother me a bit. But there's one frame of mind that I suggest for my fellow shippers who feel this way regardless of cause:

Think of the multiverse: now, I know, that seems very random. But when you think about it, it's not that random. If your fictional other can interact with you in your imagination from their world to ours, then the multiverse must surely exist by default then, right? Now, we all remember that within a multiverse, there are an infinite number of possibilities and versions of the same events, people, realities, etc. So, with this in mind, there must not only be an infinite number of yous, but an infinite number of your character.

What I'm trying to get at is that when someone else has the same f/o as you, it is a different version of that same character, quite literally. They came to that shipper from a different timeline and universe as yours. That version of them is entirely theirs, and your version is entirely yours, and nothing and nobody will ever take that power away from each other. They are entirely separate beings, and they came to each of you for your own specific reasons and specifications, like fate and destiny worked to align things perfectly.

You can also think of it like a stuffed animal. I have a Beanie Baby of Dumbo I'm looking at on my bed, so I'll use him as an example. There are probably tons of Dumbos just like him all across the world, but this one is my own. If I lost him, sure, I could always buy another one. But it just wouldn't be the same because he's not my Dumbo. He's not the Dumbo I bought at my hospital's gift shop. He's not the little guy who caught my eye in the window the weekend I worked. He's not the Dumbo that's been sitting on my bed. He's not my version among all the other Dumbos in the world.

But with a fictional character, unlike a stuffed animal, you can't truly lose them, which is the good thing. And that version of that character is yours and yours alone. They're the one that's been with you through and through. You met them the way you met them, you fell for them the way you fell for them, your headcanons and ideas and world and creations with them are yours. Nobody will ever take that from you. And when you see someone else shipping with that same character, you're not really sharing or forced to share at all because that's just a different universe's version of your character. You have yours that fate brought to you, and they have theirs. You don't have to like or interact with each other, but you don't need to feel less than or bothered because there technically is nothing to share: the characters are completely separate entities and versions, and they bring each of you unique and individual comfort. And yes, they love each of you and only you individually. Imagine how awkward it would be to try to date or be with another's version of your f/o. It would be pretty awkward, right? Of course it would be because your chemistry just doesn't work! But with that other person, that chemistry works for them, and yours works for you.

TL, DR: The multiverse exists by default since fictional characters interact with us in our imaginations. Therefore, there are different versions of said characters. These infinite versions come to us for different reasons, in different ways, and with different traits, headcanons, chemistry, etc. Much like owning a stuffed animal, there could be tons of different "versions" of that same character, but yours is uniquely yours and nothing and nobody is ever gonna take your relationship with them away from you. That other person's relationship with your f/o is actually from an entirely different universe and is an entirely separate entity. Technically speaking, therefore, there's no sharing that's being had now! Unlike owning a physical object, you can not ever lose your fictional character. You share your bond with your f/o, they share theirs, and no amount of force is going to change that or make anyone less than.

I hope this post can help my fellow shippers out. Please feel free to add anything I could've missed or made mistakes on. Thank you for reading this, and I hope you and your f/o are having a great day/night!

[rosesloveletters]

Hey, Rose. Some questions for the self shipping game with you and Willy Wonka☺️ Skittles, Ring Pop, and Airhead. I hope you have a great day 😊💜

Hi there!👋🏻❤️ Thank you so much for asking and I hope you have a lovely day as well 😊

Ring Pop: Are you and your f/o married? If not, are there any plans to be?

We are not married! I doubt we ever will marry (I developed an aversion to marrying F/Os) but I might indulge my imagination at some point and come up with a few ideas for a wedding, just for a bit of fun.

Skittles: Do you have any headcannons for your f/o?

I don't have too many yet, but here are a couple:

Wonka is a very good judge of character. He only has to interact with a person once to know whether they're of good character or not. If he has a bad gut feeling about a person or a situation, he is normally always right.

He does not like questions or being questioned. If you ask him something, especially about his work, there's a good chance he will deflect or just straight-up ignore you.

Wonka doesn't have much of a set-schedule for anything. It doesn't help that there are hardly any windows in the factory either, so unless you're able to look at a clock, (and not one that he's cut in half) there is no way to tell if it's night or day. Sometimes he'll be working at 2-3am and think nothing of it.

Airheads: What was your first interaction with your f/o like? Did you always like each other?

I met Wonka for the first time ten years ago when I was fourteen. He was very kind and gentle, but eccentric as always.

We first met before he closed his factory due to theft and fired all of his employees.

My father worked for Wonka and brought me to work with him sometimes. This was when Wonka was just beginning to put together his Chocolate Room the way we see it in the 1971 film. He was using it as an inspiration room and was creating whatever came to his mind, even in dreams. I was intrigued by this room and would often try to take a peek at it when my dad brought me along for the day.

The first time I entered the Chocolate Room without permission, Wonka caught me. He was kind, even though I had no business wandering around a large factory all by myself and trespassing where I didn't belong. He knew who I was and that I wasn't there to harm or disturb anything or anyone, so he showed me around a bit and told me about some of his plans and ideas which he seemed quite excited about.

He did personally escort me back to my father though. He did not want me walking around unaccompanied for liability's sake.

I saw him fleetingly here and there, but when other candy makers began sending in spies to steal his secret recipes, Wonka had no choice but to close the factory and fire all of his employees. After that, I never saw Wonka again until ten years later.

Questions sourced from: Candy Themed Self-Shipping Asks

[hyperionshipping]

f/o question in my head: how would these f/os take a bath with you? (Bubbles, bath bombs, is it silly or are they being romantic etc) forrrrrr Hodgins, Sweets, Grog, Jack, Crowley AND Lucifer

Buckle in folks! Long answer!!

Hodgins:

So, it depends. Back at his old place, he had a BIG tub with jets and everything. It could easily fit two people.

He has ALL the bath stuff. Bathbombs, bath salts, bubbles, anything else you could want. He only takes 'em once in a while.

If I asked him to take a bath with me? He'd go all out. Nice smelling bathbomb, bubbles, some salts, even candles!

He even holds his tongue when I want the water hotter than he's used too. He wraps his arms around me and holds me to his chest.

Sweets:

Oh you know he secretly enjoys bubble baths still. But, I think baths sometimes agrivate his scars. So it depends if he'll take one.

Sweets hasn't totally fit in a tub since he was little.

If I asked, he'd totally join me, even if he was a little blushy over it. I don't think he's had a lover who wanted to share the tub with him. And, really, it's a very vulnerable time for him.

Both of us could be the one in front. Depends on the night.

Grog:

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! YAY. OKAY I CAN TALK ABOUT HALFORC IDEAS.

Fern grew up with his family who was group of orcs that travelled around. They were ALL about hygiene and cleanliness.

They especially raised Fern to take much care of his hair. Much like dwarves, hair played a very important role in the culture of orcs!

So, Fern grew up taking communal baths. Helping the orclings clean up, to washing the elders of the group which was seen as a high honor helping the oldest.

When he starts to travel with Vox Machina, he's unused to bathhouses. He doesn't feel out of place-- he is quite use to communal baths, but they're just different enough.

Now, Grog isn't dirty but he's a big ol' half giant whose clan kicked him out. He's used to being dirty.

When Fern first offers to help clean him? Grog is a little dumbfounded. When Fern gets flustered and says nevermind, Grog tells him No! He would like that. He just never had anyone help him.

It's rare the two would get to "properly" bathe together, but they've absolutely cleaned up together.

Grog is the first to help clean Fern's hair. In his group, only close family members or lovers would ever clean each others hair. As said before, an orc's hair is a sense of their pride, and, it's something very vulnerable to trust another to not ruin their hair.

Grog was always worried whenever Fern let him touch his hair. But Fern would always, always say he trusted Grog.

Jack:

Jack would want you to believe he doesn't use bubbles in his bath but he does. Add on candles, bathbombs, salts, candles, anything else that screams "at-home spa day" and you have Jack's personal bath days.

With me there, it's mostly the same. Expect Jacks always touchy. If I want a relaxing bath I have to tell him or else... well... we get distracted.

Jack likes expensive smelling bathbombs. And ones that leave his skin smooth. He's less picky about the bubbles and salts he uses.

Crowley:

Crowley is renting out a heartshaped tub for us, light pink water with bubbles and salts that smell sweet. He sets it up as something romantic.

Just the two of us, low lights, flickering candles, perhaps even petals in the tub, water that is *just* the right temperature, and afterwards, despite never getting out? He has warm, fresh towels everytime.

He's not against a bath that leads to sex, but he truly loves indulging in just sitting with me in the warm water, holding me to his chest and letting his problems melt away. Even if it's just for a couple hours.

Lucifer:

Lucifer would indulge me on baths. His tub is large enough to comfortably fit us both. He draws the bath for me.

He gets bathbombs with roses in it, bubbles, salts that relax, candles, music playing softly.

Baths with him can, and often DO lead to sex. But that's only because I want him so damn bad. He's totally fine with relaxing in the bath, but I always seem to want something else when we take baths together.

Lucifer would like "fresh" smelling bathbombs. He'll use two in the baths he makes. Or, like, flowery scents! He loves a nice lavender scented thing for the relaxation it brings!

[hollow-prey]

I haven't even had time to get into a festive mood for the holidays because I've been working so much (and I'm honestly not even. in a super festive mood. because of work.), and I never did get around to finishing my Halloween post for my f/os, so I'm gonna throw together a quick Christmas post for me and my f/os while we still can!

Now, controversial opinion, but now that I'm a late-20s adult and Christmas no longer has as much childhood magic and whimsy to it as it used to (and this has not been helped by working in retail during the holidays for several years), I kinda like Christmas Eve a bit more than Christmas day. Obviously in my dream self-insert life, I don't work in retail at all, so I would be free to enjoy the holiday with my boys (in this case, each idea takes place in their own little separate universes and timelines, as opposed to the catch-all one where all my f/os exist in the same space and can interact with each other)

Me and Anti like to do a "heathens holiday stream" on Christmas Eve/a few days prior to give people who don't celebrate/don't like the season/are stuck dealing with crummy family/are lonely etc. something to look forward to and join in on that isn't Christmas or specific-holiday-centered. We play video games and do dumb little crafts or activities and/or the occasional baking project, and overall we try to make it a fun, cozy atmosphere so people can feel like they're hanging out with friends and have a little escape from any unpleasantness they might otherwise be stuck with.

I'm pretty sure Christmas doesn't exist in the Arcana universe, but they probably have some kind of winter festivities to celebrate, even if it's just something like a solstice event or a winter ball (I am not opposed to either of those ideas if it means I'd get to go with Julian!!). Ok honestly the more I think about it the more I kinda love the idea of a winter ball. Yes it would be cold as fuck to go out in a nice dress/suit, but it would be so worth it. A part of me secretly loves dressing up all nice and making myself look pretty; the biggest struggle is finding a dress or outfit that fits me and flatters my body, because being short and plus-sized, it is very difficult to find both of those things, but incredibly easy to try on a dress and feel miserable about yourself as soon as you see yourself in it. Anyway, I imagine Julian and I would go to the ball first, have a marvelous time there, then we head out for the "after party" (i.e. an incredibly small get-together with Portia and the gang), stay up way too late drinking and talking and laughing, and crash on the couch because we're way too tired and tipsy to even attempt going home.

I'm definitely sure Christmas doesn't exist in the J&D universe (they are quite literally on a different planet), but maybe they also have some kind of seasonal happenings or holidays that are specific to the J&D-verse or Precursor lore. And I already know that a holiday party with the J&D crew would be SO much fun. Probably loud and a bit chaotic, but fun regardless. Errol is allowed to join because in this specific AU he's alive and well and has turned over a new leaf, but of course everyone still has to playfully give him a hard time about it. Phoenix gets along great with everyone else, but he sticks close to me and checks in to see how I'm feeling, since he knows I'm an introvert and can get worn down easily in social situations.

Grimm.jow doesn't know what the holidays are in the human world, and he doesn't really care. All he cares about is that I have a day (or several) off, which means I can spend more time with him! Our holidays together are all about chilling and being cozy. We're talking hoodies and comfy pajama pants, hot tea, snuggling together under blankets and reading or playing video games or taking naps. He's just so thrilled to have me all to himself that he never lets me go/follows me everywhere when I have to get up for something.

Also, this can be applicable for all my f/os regardless of timeline or AU: I love the idea of sitting down on the floor and wrapping presents with my boys. Don't know why, I just feel like it would be a fun time with them. We've got cozy movies playing in the background (not necessarily Christmas related, but comfort movies that feel extra cozy during colder months) and banter while swapping tape and scissors back and forth.

[great-tusk]

hii quentin hope you're doing good :)

so I've been hopping into my arcane moots' inboxes to ask about a specific au that was created in the arcane fandom. and I know you don't have any arcane f/os - or not that I know of at least - but I still wanted to ask you because I love hearing about your ships^^

I'm sending this ask with shadowheart in mind but you can answer it for anyone really

(the lower part of this ask is copy pasted to make it easier to ask everyone so if you see it floating around that's why lolol)

the au is called the lumen au and it's a type of soulmate au.

a lumen is a ball of light usually around the size of a tennis ball, but it can vary I think lol, that is a physical manifestation of their soul mates soul. the colour, texture and any other features of the lumen varies depending on the soulmate.

the lumen has a personality similar to the soulmate, so a ditzy soulmate might have a lumen that wanders around a bit lol. but at the end of the day lumens always follow their respective soulmate, although they're not tethered and can be stolen but thats a whole other story.

the soulmate can also feel anything that happens to their lumen. so tickling, kissing, biting, poking, squeezing etc. the lumen results in the soulmate feeling it no matter where they are. the feeling all depends on the intention of the person touching the lumen, so if they are poking it with the intention of comfort that's what the soulmate will feel and vice versa.

when soulmate meet, their lumens get drawn to each other and kinda.. circle each other and let out a bright light before going back to their respective owners. by that I mean the lumen goes back to whoever they were already with prior, the souls don't just trade owners if that makes sense. lumen a stays with person b and vice versa. I think it is possible to trade lumens so you can have your own lumen in your possession, and maybe even trade it with someone else and decide your own fate :D

okay ramble over, I sent this because I have questions👀✍🏼

1 what do you think you and your f/os lumen would look like 2 what are their thoughts on lumens and 3 how do they treat their lumens based on 2

if you're not a big fan of soulmate au's - or just don't want to respond to this which is fair lmao - consider this a free gush pass🎟️

enjoy the rest of your day!!

@i-put-the-s4p-in-s4pphic

TY FOR THE ASK!!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AU, BUT I LOVE SOULMATE AUS TBH…

1. what do you think you and your f/os lumen would look like?

I feel like Shadowheart’s would be spiky, but also fuzzy and the spikes wouldn’t hurt to the touch. Mine would be really soft, and would definitely always try to like nuzzle into her neck and stuff. When they meet, she’s stuck in a pod, so the lumens would probably smack into opposite sides of the glass while I looked for the rune to let her out.

2. what are their thoughts on lumens?

Quentin would just adore it. Like “omggg a physical representation of the person who I’m going to fall in love with!!!” Shadowheart would be like “I choose my own destiny! I don’t need this thing.” (but she secretly thinks it’s sweet and gets like upset at the idea of hurting it… like none of her tragedy is the lumen’s fault or her soulmate’s fault </3.)

3. how do they treat their lumens based on 2?

Quentin’s is getting the highest degree of care. Tucked into his jacket and pulled under the blankets when it’s cold out. He definitely frequently pets it and gives it kisses and nuzzles it.

I think that Shadowheart would be nice to hers, too. It’s like just a little defenseless thing, and it’s entrusted to her. Like she canonically pets Scratch (the dog in bg3) when he comes near her. No way she’d be able to neglect this little thing. To her, it’s like a sign that there will be love for her in the future. (Sometimes she fears that her soulmate traded hers off to someone, or even just gave it away :(. She wonders if her soulmate will be disappointed when they meet her.) and being a representation of Quentin, it definitely tries to just be constantly close to her. She’d feel bad treating it poorly when it obviously wants to like. Bond with her.

[aeligsido]

Okay so since the vote is over 👀👀 imma gonna rambles about those ideas 👀👀👀👀

Just for the record u guys voted majorly for the one (!!!) idea where it's more vibes™ that a real plot bc i keep switching between absolute crack to something very serious to idk how many characters to include to how do I even finish this so. SO. UR NOT HELPING (I love u).

Rambles under the cut ✨

In order of votes, I'm giving you:

-

PoA, Sirius decides that kidnapping is a very good solution to protect™.

As I was saying earlier, this idea is a lot of vibes for little plot! So far I was just thinking "but what if Sirius goes for the protective kidnapping (of everyone he loves and thinks they can be in danger bc of Peter) rather than killing Peter?" and here we are.

Ofc he would take Harry and Remus (and I'm thinking Mary as well), but then I'm just. Do I go with some of my hcs and include Neville as well??? Do I go with my OCs kids for Mary and maybe Wolfstar and maybe also Daisy (Jily's daughter)????? Who knows, not me.

Same problem, I'm not sure of the tone, bc something fun and more cracky could work, but something heavy on the hurt/comfort would work so well too, so I don't know!!! Maybe I'll write different versions, idk. U guys are so very welcome to try and write this idea too lmao djdjjd the more the merrier!!!

-

Lily & Petunia girlboss gaslight gatekeep their way into the magical world.

Funnily enough I think it's the first fic idea I had when I started coming back into the fandom!

Obviously Evans sisters centric, where Lily refuses to go to Hogwarts without Petunia and Petunia really wants to go too, so they decide to gaslight everyone into believing Petunia is a witch too. It somehow works, and the fic (OS) would follow them through their years at Hogwarts and during the war — I actually have a good chunk of it planned!!

(also a f in the chat for Snape, who knows very well Petunia is a Muggle and keeps on trying to prove it and failing to do so.)

This fic would definitely have a lot of my HCs for the magical world and how magic works so I'm a bit excited to write it actually dijdjdjd

-

Cedric, Fleur & Viktor form the Harry Protection Squad bc they're Very Concerned.

GoF AU, as you can imagine, and an idea I'm very fond of. I'm having more and more ideas to add to this one lmao, so we'll see what I can keep in and all.

But yeah, the idea is basically Harry gaining three older siblings (kind of) and Ron and Hermione finally getting some more help keeping him alive. The Harry Protection Squad actually keeps on getting new members!! I think it would alternate between Cedric, Fleur, & Viktor POV, with them getting more and more worried the more they learn about the three precedent years lmao. (Cedric: I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was that bad!)

Also for funsies I think Percy (who joined the Harry Protection Squad upon getting his new jury duty) should adopt the stray dog he found in Hogsmeade. He keeps bringing him to the reunions and the dog loves Harry, for some reason.

-

The Potters and the Longbottoms are each other's Secret Keepers.

So it was late at night and I was thinking "what if one of the Potters was the Longbottoms' Secret Keeper, and one of the Longbottoms was the Potters' Secret Keeper? How can Voldemort find them when they protect each other?" so now that's basically the whole idea!

So now Lily gets the idea after having insomnia, wakes up James to tell him, and they then invade the Longbottoms' house to share the idea with them, and they all agree on it. I go with the HC that the couples are close friends, with Alice being Harry's godmother and Lily Neville's godmother, and Alice and James knowing each other since they were kids (= Alice a toddler and James a baby). Anyways, Sirius freaks out a bit, Peter suddenly disappears, Voldemort is very unsuccessful in trying to get them, etc.

It's one of those ideas I have well-planned except for the end lmao, bc I'm not sure where to end it exactly.

-

rumor says that Voldemort killed the youngest Black, the others will get revenge.

This one is just really crack lmao.

Mostly, Regulus dies, rumor says Voldemort killed him, so Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa, & Sirius all decide to get revenge and kill Voldemort. They also don't consult each other about it so now they're fighting over which one of them actually killed Voldemort. (Well, Bellatrix and Sirius fight over it, mostly.)

I wrote tiny bits and pieces of it, so I'll try to finish it soon!! It's not supposed to be a big thing, unlike some others of my ideas in this list lmao.

-

PoA, a bored Ron sending Howlers to Sirius Black.

Aka this idea, bc i love it and it makes me laugh. It feels like something Ron would do (and Hermione would help him with).

I would very much put it in the humor/crack treated seriously category, but I'm not exactly sure where to go from there. I have a few ideas about Sirius answering Ron's Howlers with his own where he's just laughing bc he thinks it's hilarious, or just sending him a "hey I wanna kill your rat" which confuse everyone, but idk. We'll see!!

-

PoA, Sirius helps Neville after the passwords incident.

So, remember how Crookshanks stole the paper where Neville wrote down the passwords and Sirius used it to enter the Tower, and after that Neville was punished by McGonagall and he couldn't get the password anymore and had to stay out of the Tower until someone came to get him in?

The idea is that Sirius-as-Padfoot roams a bit around the castle in case Peter is doing the same, and he ends up finding Neville outside the Tower at night, kind of trying to sleep here bc no one let him in. Sirius gets worried and decides to help him out (mainly to find a nice hideout to sleep if it happens again).

A lot of it is vibes bc i thought Sirius and Neville bonding would be very nice and I would like to see it, so. Yeah. Eijdjd.

-

scene: BDoM; enter stage left: a very pissed off Alice & Frank Longbottom.

A Sirius Lives AU where the fight at the Department of Mystery gets interrupted by Alice & Frank, as it says in the title!

I have the idea mainly planned out, I'm just not sure where to end it kdjdjkd.

-

Thanks for reading my ramblings ✨ don't hesitate to tell me what you think of it!!

[imagine-your-love-story]

I had one and only f/o for few years now but recently there is an issue. Not with the f/o themselves, I can't imagine parting yet. Especially visually they're perfect fit to my tastes so anytime I try to pick a new f/o I end up unimpressed and I keep having 1 xD There wes no new official content in few years tho, I don't like fandom interpretation and myself... well, I'm unimaginative and naturally apathetic. I don't enjoy the process of writing or drawing and anyway I have little ideas in the first place. Imagines are often too broad to apply or about the typical cutesy couple things like hugs and all which I do like but that's basically all I was thinking about. It's kinda boring now ehhh. I don't even gush to my friend anymore and our whole inside-joke was that she's a #1 fan for my ship :/ Besides like I mentioned I'm already apathetic as a person. I see mutuals getting new f/os constantly and being so excited and gushy and you know I am happy for them but also envious they have so much energy and ideas. Idk how they even get emotionally invested in so many chara's; I watch show after show and I don't even think about those characters after that. My f/o was the only miraculous exception.... now I feel kinda hollow tho

Oh, dear anon, I'm so sorry you're feeling that way.

It's easy to get a certain perspective of what's going on in other people's shipping on your dashboard. But that's just what people are talking about. And the more someone talks, the more it seems like, "hey, there's all this happening, why can't I be like that?"

But you don't see what people don't say. Maybe someone feels the same way as you but they're not talking about it.

Or if they do, it gets lost in all the gushy posts.

Whether you're imaginative and motivated to create content or not, you can still enjoy your f/o. IRL, I can write and draw, but I've never drawn a picture of me and my f/o and I don't really write anymore.

Creating fandom-related content takes a certain type of energy and it's okay if you don't have that.

I also think that love in general is not something that's bubbling and bursting at the seems all the time.

Sometimes, it's you and your f/o just hanging out, co-existing in the same space.

Sometimes, it's you and your f/o taking some time apart so you can rediscover each other again.

As you mentioned, this character still resonates with you. You're still stuck on them and you still want them.

The hollow feeling is coming from the comparison of you and your relationship against that of other people.

It's okay if you don't have a dozen f/os at the same time. One has clearly already made a very prominent impact on you and that's more than enough! :)

It's nice to see that other mutuals have a bunch of new f/os and they're excited and gushing, etc. But that's their ship(s). Not yours. And that's okay.

Your selfshipping needs, wants, and habits may shift and morph based on your energy, enthusiasm, etc. It's okay to not be gushing and excited for new f/os around every corner. You have your f/o already! :)

HII NIKO <3 I hope u dont mind the bomb im gonna drop on u (/lh + hj)

Ares, Hermes, Euterpe for Nayuta aaand Hera and Thalia for your polycule w/ Reiji + Ranmaru !

ehehehehehe /pos this is gonna be so much fun

nayuta

ares: are you ever protective of your f/o? are they ever protective of you? YES 100% I AM VERY PROTECTIVE OF HIM (ash can confirm i'm super protective of everyone i care about) i would throw hands for nayu in a heartbeat, though mostly my protectiveness takes the form of reminding him to take breaks and stopping him from over-working himself he's not quite as protective of me because he knows i can handle myself really well, but oh boy if i'm in a situation he knows is triggering for me (around certain people mostly) he Can and Will defend me when i can't defend myself

hermes: was it love at first sight? slow burn with lots of pining? how fast did your relationship progress? slow burn with lots of pining AKSHDKSJDHF mostly oblivious pining, we're both terrible with emotions so literally everyone around us noticed before we did, and the relationship progressed really slowly because we both tend to be closed off for a while until someone earns our trust

euterpe: what song(s) suit your ship best? any particular lyrics that fit well? the main two songs that always come to mind are without me by gyroaxia and love like you from steven universe "without you, without you, i am nothing. just letting you know that you are not alone" is an especially fitting line from without me, and "if i could begin to be half of what you think of me i could do about anything, i could even learn how to love like you" is a really fitting one from love like you

whispers in the dark (reiji and ranmaru)

hera: how did you first start your romantic relationship with your f/o(s)? how did the way you feel about each other evolve to get to that point? surprise surprise (/s) i haven't actually thought much about this for any of my f/os. i just kinda vibe thinking they're pretty and then at some point go "fuck yeah that's my partner- wait What." KSJDHFKSJDHF- i don't really have a good answer for ya bestie sorry</3

thalia: discuss any fluff ideas you have for your ship. what kind of affectionate or sweet scenarios do you like best for this ship? OKAY SO we're all musicians so one of my favourite scenarios is late night jam sessions when they're both home from work, reiji coming up with fun vocal melodies while ran-ran and i play our respective instruments and sometimes throw in a harmony here and there, it's so soft and i love thinking about it another one i like to think about is cooking together, three people in a kitchen can get a bit annoying but it's really fun to cook dinner together and swap around who gets what job every night

send me a mythology ask!

*shakes can* 🔧? please sir 🥧?? *rattle rattle* any 🕊? please *shake shake*

*starts dumping ideas everywhere*

Okay okay head FULL

-Cas teaching Honora some basic fighting things and Dean watching all proud because that's his girl learning how to fight off either icky strange dudes or monsters!!! That's his girl!!!

-Honora being able to drive at age 13 because of course and Dean absolutely screaming in celebration. Cas is the Adult Supervision™ in the car and he just. Confused joy. And Honora absolutely losing it once she gets out of the car like she fuckin sprints to Dean and gets twirl hugged and is all like "DAD I DROVE I DROVE!!! DAD!!!! DIDJA SEE ME PARK!!!!!"

-Cas not knowing what the hell to do for Christmas so he just clears out a candy isle. As you do when you have a teenage daughter that you didn't expect. And Honora just. "I love the gift Pops but also like I will get sugar high so you might wanna hide some of it!". And Dean's losing it in the background. (He got her a keychain with a copy of the Impala's key on it,,,)

-Dean going to Sam in fucking tears like "SHE CALLED ME DAD AND IT WASN'T IN A JOKING WAY" and Sam just. Doesn't know what the fuck to do either.

-All of Dean's funky lil car rules Honora knows by heart. And also fights for shotgun. It's absolutely chaotic.

-This one is angsty but Dean not knowing how to parent™ so he just. "Alright what's the opposite of what Dad would do in this situation". 99% of the time it works so I mean™.

-Dean's music taste rubbing off on Honora!!! Her researching and watching all the old-ish things so she can get references and also make them as well!!! Her aggressively air guitaring in the car and Dean drumming on the steering wheel and Sam about to barrel roll out!!!!

-Uh oh another angsty one but Dean like. Will take any chance he can to tell her that he's proud of her. Like it could be from her doing research or she could pour a bowl of cereal and he'd say it.

-Not a headcanon this is Honora facts but she would beat the shit out of J*hn Winchester and she barely knows shit about him.

-Honora rambling about some "useless" info she found while looking for the needed research on a hunt. Cas just sitting there absolutely happy and overjoyed to hear about it. Dean vibing in the background with a proud little grin. Sam joining the conversation late but absolutely thriving. Bobby also being in the background pretending that he isn't listening but he IS and he is trying so hard not to smile.

-Honora laying on the couch and tossing a ball up in the air then suddenly sitting up, sprinting to Sam, and asking "dO MY DADS KNOW THEY'RE GAY" and Sam nearly screams.

Bonus pride month thought bc I can:

-Its Dean's first pride and Honora goes all out like she gets a shitton of bisexual shit for him and herself, she gets some Gender™ things for her, Cas, and Sam, she goes absolutely crazy and everything is fine and good and happy 🥺

[hollow-prey]

So I keep going through bouts of feeling disconnected from my f/os for seemingly no reason, which really really sucks because it's left me feeling stumped for ideas and kind of numb? for lack of a better word regarding my f/os. In an attempt to remedy this, I'm trying to brainstorm some ways to help me reconnect with my self ships outside of the usual "make playlists/moodboards/crafts/etc." (which are all excellent ideas btw; I'm quite partial to making playlists myself! It's just that in my specific instance, I feel I need something More Powerful):

revisit the source material/any scenes, episodes, videos, chapters etc. involving my f/os. Revisit my favorite moments and remember why I fell in love with them. Always a solid option.

additional option, revisit the source material and liveblog my thoughts and emotions while watching or playing. For video games, I could do like what I did with Jak 1 and 2 and detail my experience with each mission/notable segment in the game and my thoughts on the section as a whole

craft The Lore for my self ships. This can involve creating the backstories for each iteration of my s/i as it pertains to each ship, coming up with backstories for my f/os who don't have one/that we don't know much about, filling in the blanks with details that solely benefit my self ships and the overall indulgence factor, figuring out how they met and why they fell for each other, and any fun extra details that exist just because I want them to/I think they're neat

additionally, rewriting canon to better fit my tastes, detailing all the things I would change or eliminate completely from each of my f/os' sources.

trying to see myself through the eyes of my f/os. Puzzle out what they love about me and why they fell for me.

find prompts and challenges and write quick self ship pieces with them. I think part of my problem is writer's block/stagnation and being understimulated, so some fun writing exercises would probably do me some good

do the self ship powerpoint meme that's been making the rounds lately

find dumb silly old memes that make me chuckle and apply them to my self ships. make posts like "my f/os as troubled birds" or something similar.

[rosesloveletters]

💌 - Use this ask as an excuse to talk about your f/os as much as you want. :o)

Thank you, dear anon, for sending me this sweet ask and giving me a space to talk about my f/os as much as I would like. I would normally use this ask to talk about Jakob & Will, but I've already answered so many asks for them like this that I would prefer to discuss my paternal f/o a bit, since i've hardly posted about him before. Because of this, i'll be putting my gushing below the cut so as not to clog anyone's dashes with unnecessary self-ship postings about characters they didn't follow me for.

That being said, i'll now answer your ask:

for anyone who does decide to read this, my paternal f/o is terry benedict from the ocean's eleven trilogy, but i often refer to him as 'daddy' since that's literally what he is to me. i have only shared about him briefly on here a couple of times before, but i wanted to use this ask to speak candidly about our relationship and how he has become so important to me, perhaps more so than most of my other f/os.

last year, i had quite a rough go of it with my actual parents and it got so bad that there was a point when i genuinely believed that we would not be able to repair our relationship and that things would even out and return to normal. i don't feel like going into a lot of detail about my family life since i treat that as highly personal information, but for a while now i have felt somewhat isolated from my actual parents; it's been nearly impossible to connect with them in terms of the things that are highly important to me. i feel as though there is a lot they are missing out on because i believe the idea of me they have in their heads is incorrect and they couldn't be bothered to learn who i really am. if i try to talk about the things i am interested in or love very deeply, they either will pretend like i haven't said anything and not respond/continue or add to the conversation or they'll cut me off mid-sentence and start talking about something else entirely. this really has begun to bother me much more deeply within the past year and i've stopped sharing a lot with them of the things i'm doing or put value upon.

i feel very isolated because my thoughts, views and ideas on things can be drastically different to theirs and my handling of certain situations also differs very strongly most of the time. a very close friend of mine even told me yesterday that she had no idea how i was related to my actual parents because we're polar opposites, so it isn't just me who feels this way; i'm not internalizing this and perpetuating a false belief or anything like that because other people see it too when they're around my family enough (from the outside looking in, you'd never know my family was like this because everything seems completely normal.)

whenever i watched ocean's eleven for the first time, i didn't know terry was my father, only that i felt a very strong connection with him and the feeling was not romantic at all. i knew that i needed to be close to him and i could not say why, until i had watched the film at least two more times and it finally smacked me in the face: this man is my father.

it wasn't forced or planned or anything like that; the familial connection presented itself to me and suddenly, a lot of things about myself started making sense. I am very quiet and observant, something which neither of my irl parents can relate to or exhibit, but this is a very visible trait that terry and i share. even the ways in which we handle our work is very similar and reflected within each other; both of my irl parents hate being busy, but i don't. most of the time, i am not busy, but whenever i am, i love it. terry and i keep things very professional and we both keep to ourselves. our own thoughts and feelings are quite similar and we share much of our individual lives with each other.

i love him more than i can ever put in to words because he is a parent that i can actually connect with and feel like that connection is both reciprocated and valued in the ways i wish for it to be. my emotional needs are met, something i cannot quite rely on my irl parents to be able to do, nor can they seem to find the ability to listen to me or appreciate the things that are important to me and that i feel strongly enough about to speak of with them. terry gave me something i felt was missing from my life and suddenly things have started to make sense for me. he changed my life; i was very lost for the majority of the end of last year, but everything shifted when i discovered our connection.

there aren't many days that we don't spend in each other's presence and i already know so much about him and his life (i'm so deep into creating ocean's eleven lore, you don't even know.) He altered my existence in beautiful ways i never thought i'd ever experience and i think this just goes to show how important it is for selfshippers to have f/os that make them feel this way, no matter what the media is they're indulging in as long as it is safe and respectful and does no harm to anyone. i was terrified to ever share anything about terry, but i am over that now. he is someone whom i live every day for and someone i can count on to make me feel better when all i want to do is cry. not only does he love me because i'm his daughter but also because he loves who i am as a person and that's more of a meaningful gift than anything materialistic.

when i tell you that everything changed whenever he came into my life, i am legit not even joking. everything that was weighing me down suddenly felt like it was lifted off my shoulders and whenever i felt like i needed a parental figure with me who could meet my needs in the ways i needed them to be met, i'd spend some time with him and i'd be better in no time. i've not felt a stronger fit with any f/o before, except for jakob and will, who are my mains for a reason.

i finally know where i belong and why i never felt like i fit in anywhere - because i hadn't met my home yet. i hadn't met my family and now that i have, i feel like i just discovered a part of myself i never knew existed, but that has cleared up so many gray areas. i am now more myself than i have ever been, all because of one man whom i look up to and admire for everything that he is because he made a name for himself in the world. he worked for every bit of wealth that he had and i am honored to be related to such a hardworking, talented, intelligent, strong-willed, disciplined person who loves me more than any amount of money he has.

i will always love my daddy, no matter what, and i'll spend as much time with him as humanly possible because i've never felt better than when i'm with him. i finally feel like i've got a family home, a place to be, someone who i can relate to on a familial level that respects me as an adult person, meets my needs on a daily basis and gives me something i could never have in my real, day-to-day life. i don't have a big family irl and that is something i've always felt somewhat shortchanged on, but there's nothing i can do about it. with terry, it's just us and that's perfectly fine for me; he gives me more than enough love and all i really need is the connection that i share with him (one of his closest friends is also a f/o, but i won't get into that right now bc it's a long story that is mostly based on lore i've created.)

I don't need anyone in our family other than terry because he is what i wish my real family was like. he's who i wish i came to every day and could ask for advice, for guidance, for help, for ideas, for love... I look for little ways i can bring terry into all the tings i do because i want to make him proud and i've never cared about making anyone proud of me before, if that tells you anything about our bond. i've felt like a disappointment for the majority of my life and i am not even proud of myself on most days, but terry gives me a reason to try to do better and feel better and work harder and push myself. i'll never be capable of working as hard as he does or taking control of things like him, but he makes me want to learn how to try harder to meet these goals within my life and do better for myself. When i look back at the accomplishments i've made and how hard i've worked at jobs in my life, it makes me realize how much like him i already am and can be when determined.

i never thought i'd have any reason to have a parental f/o, let alone one that genuinely fit the bill, but terry meets all of the 'requirements' per-say. i love him so very much, so so much, more than words can ever describe and more than my emotions could ever express. the only way i know how to make him proud is to be more like him and to be the best version of myself that i can be. i value more parts of myself now because i know where they came from. selfshipping, for me, is ultimately a way to help me feel a bit better about myself and a huge form of self-love for me because i struggle with that massively in my daily life. terry just gives me what i need from a familial standpoint and i never want to know a world without him at this point.

perhaps it is silly to care about someone so strongly, but i do. i am me because of him and if i love him this much, then i can afford myself a bit of the same affection, right? I don't have to hate every aspect of myself because he would love me for who i am. he wouldn't want me to be anyone else so why should i try to change who i am to please others? i ask myself these questions because it's so hard to care about myself when no one irl seems to. i think that's why i feel so alone most of the time, because even the people i have in my life don't realize how badly i'm hurting and how alone they sometimes make me feel.

i realize that the things which are important to me are only important to me because they mean something for me, but i lack the kind of relationships with people who respect that i feel that way and listen to the things i speak about and value me for it rather than hoping i won't say anything or quickly finding a way to change the subject. what i want from the world, from my family, is to be treated the way that terry treats me. my daddy keeps me safe and makes me feel loved, valued, needed and never lets me feel as though i'm simply taking up space. He finds a place for me in his work (even though he'd prefer that i enjoy myself rather than spend my time working) and i help him as much as i can. i want to honor the Benedict name and be the best daughter i can be, which is something that i aspire to every day.

i can't imagine a world without terry and i can't believe that i ever knew one. i live to make my daddy proud and to be loved by him, for who i am now and whoever i become as the years carry on.

Ooh I got one! Even though I ship you with all your f/os (because duh😂) I ship with Jakob because I swear as soon as I saw you first gushing and talking about him I was thinking to myself "awww these two are so cute together!"

I love the way you talk about the brothers. It's just very sweet and I'm very happy that they're so special to you!🥺❤❤

Anaya!! Thank you (again!) for another lovely message🥺💛 I've been smiling like an idiot at this ask for a little while now and I've finally just gone to answer it and I'm STILL SMILING. This made me so incredibly happy, you've no idea!

I've said it a million times, but I just adore Jakob. He's so precious and cute and sweet and the fact that he and I share so many similarities makes my heart soar. I've never found a character in fiction I've identified with as well as him and that nothing of who he was was made to ever be a weakness (other than Will being a brat, but SHUSH, we know Will is annoying😂) Usually characters like Jake are tossed around a lot more than he was, even though Angelika can go off somewhere (we don't like her character arc with the brothers.) Jakob is tender and loving and also very independent, even though he loves his brother and wants his support (as any family member would.) He doesn't want to be alone, but he wants to make his own decisions and live for the things he loves and the curiosity he exudes. He's just amazing and he means a whole lot to me, as does Will. I love them both equally; they're both extremely different and if they weren't presented as brothers, I would never have known, but everything about them is just wonderful.

This made me so so happy to receive, thank you for acknowledging me love of these two💛 They've gotten me through a rough year and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you very much, dear, this is EXACTLY how I think when I see you posting about Pat! You both were made for each other and I won't think any differently! Thank you and I love you!💛💛

Concert headcanons with my f/os!

inspired by my own experience this week, here's some cute indulgent ideas on how Cyr and her boys would fare at a concert:

Grimm- this could go a few different ways depending on the AU: if he's human, I think he'd be all for it (as long as Cyr's with him). If he's still a Hollow, it would take a lot of chill/recovery time in the human world, and quite a bit of coaxing from Cyr to get him to agree to go to a place that will potentially mess with his instincts, i.e. a place that's going to be very loud and packed with people (though of course, she would never force him to do anything if he really didn't want to go). It would definitely be Cyr who broaches the idea and suggests going to a concert together. They hold hands a lot when they get there, which Grimm pretends to be annoyed about but is actually very, very glad that Cyr insisted on taking his hand because this way he can both ensure that Cyr stays close so he doesn't lose her in the crowd (and so he can protect her) and also feel comforted and grounded knowing that she's right there with him. He still doesn't really "get" human music and so doesn't really have an opinion on if he likes or dislikes the band, but he doesn't seem to mind it and sways in time with Cyr, occasionally copying some of her and the audience's movements and gestures during the show. Afterwards, as they're leaving, Cyr shyly surprises Grimm with a tour t-shirt that she got at the same time she was getting her own. He's still a little wary about receiving gifts and is unsure how to respond, but he accepts it and later wears it when they go to bed that night. He may or may not also cuddle with it after Cyr eventually steals it and wears it herself because it smells like her

Errol- he would be the one to surprise Cyr with tickets after she mentions wanting to go, especially if it's a band she really wants to see. At the show, Errol tries to be chill and just hang out and vibe (at a damn rock concert, where the whole point is to get a little crazy) and Cyr is the one who finally gets him to relax and let loose and have fun during the concert. If the venue is standing general admission, they get there early and stake out a good spot close to the stage behind the first clusters of people. Errol gently shifts Cyr around during the concert to ensure that she always has a good view of the stage and that the taller people in front of them aren't completely blocking her view. This may include letting her stand on his boots at times to give her a little extra boost. They buy each other tour shirts and Cyr immediately puts hers on before the show while Errol holds his draped over his shoulder. On the way home Errol gives Cyr his shirt to hold onto while he drives. She falls asleep snuggling it because the shirt is now officially a reminder of a great time and a fantastic experience that she got to share with someone she loves, and every time she wears her shirt or Errol wears his, she'll be reminded of that, and the thought is very comforting to her.

Razer- Cyr doesn't have to worry about anyone getting too close or messing with her, because Razer gives off such an intimidating, menacing aura while being completely calm and composed the entire time. I for one would love to picture Razer ditching his usual jacket and gloves and going for a more sharp-dressed goth approach just for the show, because I know he could pull it off and look infuriatingly good doing it. Even if it's something super simple like slim black jeans, a fitted black long-sleeve, and combat boots, I Know this man would look so good in just a basic ensemble like that. Probably somehow manages to pull a few strings and score something cool for Cyr, like getting her copy of her favorite album signed, or somehow arranging a chance encounter by "accidentally" walking into a restricted area and they "just so happen" to run into someone from the band. Any time Cyr thinks they'll get caught, Razer takes her arm and they disappear into the shadows like smoke and reappear just as quickly. How did he arrange all this? And how did neither of them get in trouble? Well, he can't go around sharing his secrets now, can he?

Phoenix- I can easily see this going the route of both of them suggesting the concert at the same time (i.e. "I was thinking, would you want to go to see [band] in concert?" "dude shut up I was literally about to ask you the same thing"). In the days leading up to the show and on their way to the venue, the two of them end up getting hyped off of each other's excitement to the point that they're both amped by the time they get there, and Cyr is alternating between giddy laughs, trembling a little from adrenaline, and clinging to Phoenix excitedly like "we're actually here!! we're gonna see them!!" They have such a good time during the show, vibing and enjoying the pounding of the music in their chests and through their bones, grinning and nudging each other excitedly when certain songs come up, stealing kisses between the occasional song breaks, cheering so loud that their voices will almost certainly be hoarse the next day. There isn't a single moment during the concert that they don't enjoy. At some point Phoenix probably gets dragged into the mosh pit by accident from standing too close, and because he was holding onto Cyr to make sure she always had a good view and they didn't get separated, she accidentally gets dragged in as well. Neither has been in a mosh pit before and neither of them know what the rules are so they try and act casual and follow everyone else's lead. They eventually break free and come out jostled, exhilarated, and a little bruised, but in good shape.

Anti- undoubtedly runs straight into the mosh pit the first chance he gets, or is the one who starts it. Cyr watches from the side, over the heads of several other people, and waits to see him break off and return to her, but between one second and the next he's disappeared. Next thing she knows, Anti comes up behind her seemingly out of nowhere and snakes his arms around her waist, steals a kiss, and they resume their swaying, jumping, and devil-horn-waving. He's a sneaky, slippery little demon and probably manages to get Cyr a random, delightful assortment of souvenirs from the show. Could probably get a proper autograph for her if he really wanted to. Every time one of the band members tosses items into the crowd, Anti somehow always manages to slip away and be in the perfect spot to snag something and bring it back to Cyr without anyone else seeing him or suspecting anything. At one point he slips one of the custom guitar picks into her hand, vanishes again, and later comes back with a tour shirt that he didn't have earlier, because he stole it from backstage before they could toss it into the crowd. No one ever notices Anti's thievery, and Cyr only notices he was gone when he comes back with something new. They hang out in Cyr's car in the parking lot after the concert, waiting for the traffic to thin out, recapping their favorite parts of the night until security comes by and tells them they're closing up the venue and the stragglers gotta get a move on

"Z", or [redacted]/secret F/O- Cyr brings up the idea of going and, since Z likes a lot of the same bands Cyr does (bc this is my self ship and I decide the music tastes), he happily agrees to go. Z keeps pretty calm and cool on the drive to the venue, prompting Cyr to shyly ask "are you excited?", to which he responds with that devilish yet sincere grin she loves so much, and says "Of course I am" and gives her hand a sweet squeeze. They buy some drinks at the venue and soak up the mounting energy of so many fans coming together to enjoy the same music. A pit opens up during the opening act, and Cyr catches Z eyeing it curiously. He hesitates, then figures "eh, why not?", hands Cyr his drink to hold, and joins the mosh pit for a moment, much to Cyr's startled surprise. Once he makes it out, he comes up behind Cyr and plucks his drink from her hand, kissing her cheek in the process. After the show, they walk out with Cyr grinning like crazy, her arm hooked around Z's, the night air nearly making her shiver after the heat of the venue. "Did you have fun?" Z asks, amused, and Cyr murmurs "yeah", her ears still adjusting to the sudden absence of loud, pounding music. They break off from the crowd as they walk to the car, and Cyr nuzzles up to Z and thanks him for coming with her. Then she asks if he had fun as well. Z frees his arm from her grasp and drapes it around her shoulders, pulling her close to his side. "Of course I did. And you don't need to thank me for coming; I would have done it no matter what. I'm glad you enjoyed it." Though Cyr might think he was exaggerating, that he would have found an excuse to avoid the concert if he didn't like the musician, Z is telling the whole truth. Even if he hated the band that was playing, he still would have gone with her just to see Cyr this happy.
