#selfship romantic f/o

[microwave-prince]

Imagine your F/O setting up their place when expecting a visit from you. Nervously fidgeting with things and trying to tidy things up, maybe setting out some snacks that they know you like, getting worried over if they look proper enough even if it's just a casual visit, maybe they set up your favorite game or put on your favorite TV channel while they wait for you, anticipating your arrival.

One more thing before I pass out. A little thing to make selfshippers like me happy, this could be either you or your f/o in this little scenario!!

Imagine your romantic f/o tearing up a bit or full on sobbing as they cuddle you into their arms, thinking how lucky and grateful to have you. They haven't felt this kind of simple love in so long or ever, and they're experiencing this with the person they love so much. Warm tears stain the pillow as they look at you, the person that they'll be with for what seems like forever.

Your f/o loves you so much and the fact they haven't experienced this kind of love sooner in their life is criminal to them. You mean so much to them as much as they mean so much to you. Your warm love and support for them, your voice and how gentle it is to their ears, the way your eyes softens each time you seem them, everything. Whether they're holding you or you're holding them, they feel so safe with you especially right before slumber.

Your f/O loves you and can never be more thankful to have you. <3

Imagine your F/O having a little plushie of you, something the size of a tiny squishmellow or Neopet plushie.

They carry it with them all the time. The plushie version of you sits in their shirt/jacket pocket (sometimes the inner jacket pocket) where your F/O can reach it easily.

Imagine them with their hand stuck in their pocket, gently squishing the plushie, running their thumb across the small fabric version of you. They miss you so much they have to have an emotional support plushie version of you.

Now imagine them sneaking off, or just waiting until no one's looking, so they can give the plushie a little forehead kissy. They can stop thinking about later, when they can give the real you a forehead kissy (and many other kissies).

hey selfshippers, its okay to feel insecure sometimes. there are days when we feel like we dont deserve our f/os love, and thats okay. but please dont let it bring you down.

you looked up at them, eyes glistening with tears. "Do you ever wonder if... I mean, if you're truly happy with me? If I'm really the one you want to be with?"

they pulled you into their arms, their thumb gently brushing away a tear you hadn't realized had fallen. "Hey, listen to me," they began, their voice earnest and steady.

"You are my one and only. The day I met you, my life changed forever. You bring me joy, laughter, and love every single day. I can't imagine my life without you, and I don't want to."

their lips met your forehead and lingered there, "I love you," they whispered, "whether you believe it or not, I love you."

A little reminder: your f/o loves you, it doesn't matter if they are canonically married or the fandom ships another character THEY LOVE YOU!

fun things you can do when you have an f/o!

print out pictures of them to hang up on your wall!

if they wear jewelry, make it!

make stickers of them! (there's tutorials on youtube of how to make stickers at home, or, you can get sticker paper on amazon for pretty cheap, mine was $6!)

if you do make stickers, put them on your sketchbook, journal, laptop, or whatever you feel like putting them on!

make a google slides presentation on them! alternatively, you could also write an essay about them.

if they don't have a canonical style of handwriting, find or try to write in a way they would write!

if they do, try making your own font of their handwriting that you can download and use. or, try to learn how to write similarly to them, maybe write letters to yourself from their perspective.

if they have a birthday or there's a holiday coming up (irl or canonical), make a card for them!

make them in the sims, or some other character creation making game. or, make a minecraft skin of them.

draw them as a character from another source. for example, draw them as a pony from mlp, or draw them as a character from smiling friends!

make a playlist of youtube videos you'd think they'd enjoy watching, and perhaps watch them again and pretend like you're watching them with your f/o.

make food they canonically like, or you'd think they'd like!

make a tier list as if they were making it! like a fruit tier list, for example.

if I think of anything else, I'll make a part 2!

[rowenasgf]

your f/o would never leave you for somebody else. they'd never leave you for someone else because they'd never think that another person could fill their needs better than you. they want you and only you, exactly as you are. you give them everything they've ever wanted. they love you, and they think you're perfect for them <3

please DNI if you post taboo ( inc3st, r@pe, ag3play ) whether fictional or not

[kimiko24-art]

Please please I'm begging you let's explore more adult/darker themes in self shipping

I saw a picture of the US team reacting to Chinese team winning pose

"I'm not obsessed with this character anymore, therefore I don't like them as I used to"

No.

The reason you're not obsessed anymore is because your obsession has turned into something's more strong; love. They're not 24/7 in your mind, because they'll be forever in your heart.

You'll be obsessed with many characters, yes, some obsessions will fade, but those whom you really adore will always be with you.

So stop being so anxious, okay? Here's some cake :)
