Friendly reminder that it is COMPLETELY NORMAL to feel extremely attached to/have intense feelings for fictional characters.
The human brain cannot differentiate the feelings and attachments we have to irl people from the feelings and attachments we have to fictional characters. Chemically, the feelings are the exact same
More to the point, if a character you love ever gets hurt or god forbid dies, it is absolutely normal to feel genuine grief and hurt because of it. As far as the chemicals in your brain are concerned, you genuinely just watched your friend/partner/family member get hurt.
Imagine that you’re at a big event with your f/o, but around half way through, everyone starts sounding a little too loud and everything starts feeling a little too much. Your f/o seems like they’re having a good time, so you don’t want to ruin it for them. You weave your way to a corner of one of the rooms, sitting there while gripping a drink like your life depends on it.
Zoning out, you don’t notice your f/o realizing you disappeared before making their way towards you. “Are you alright?” You hear their voice cut through the chatter around you. You shake your head, and they instantly take a hold of your free hand, leading you out of the crowded area.
The two of you end up in a secluded room, the noise muffled into the background. “This better?” They asked, watching you with concern. You nod, and they looked relieved. “Don’t worry about these things, alright? If you need a break, just tell me.” This made you smile, and your f/o wrapped their arms around you, planting a kiss on your head.
is it just me or are you ever watching/playing/reading your f/o's source material and you have to put it down for a moment because they made a face/did something that was so unbelievably cute/hot, and you couldn't keep going because you needed time to recollect yourself?
hello, my dog recently became sick and had to be rushed to the ER. she is in recovery and much better off than she was, but unfortunately my family has been left with a steep vet bill. my mom set up a gofundme, anything at all helps. any shares are appreciated. thank you 🙏
For selfshippers who are uncomfortable with ships involving your f/o, I see ya'll and I hear ya'll. Your f/o belongs to you and ONLY you, there's nobody else who could fill that void.
It doesn't matter if everybody ships them with somebody, or if they have a love interest, because you're all that matters to them.
adoration — how would your f/o speak about you to someone else?
darling — what outfits would you both wear on a date? feel free to show pics!
(from the ask game ^^)
doing this for saeran as a default :3
adoration - well it flusters me to talk about it but in a selfship server im in im told he talks about me a lot and enjoys showing me off... I know I tell everyone who'll listen about him so I think he's the same
darling - on a casual date? honestly whatever is comfortable at that current moment, matching sweaters are a staple for sure though. On a more like "proper" date (nice restaurant, etc) i definitely enjoy a good flowey dress and he has a really nice suit and purple coat that i love
thank you for asking about N cus honestly i haven't thought too deeply abt our relationship specifics
"crush — when did your f/o realize their feelings for you? how did they deal with those feelings?" Mm... Well, we kept running into eachother on our respective adventures, and eventually just decided to travel together so it was probably just some random night when we were going to sleep and it just clicked
"confession — how’d the confession happen, and looking back on it, what are your (and f/o’s) thoughts abt how you both were back then?" I don't think it was anything grandiose. Just one day sitting in a tree, both eating, and suddenly he asked if I wanted anything more between us. Our relationship is still pretty new, so there honestly hasn't been too much time for us to change as people... But I like to think we bring out the best in eachother
"confession — how’d the confession happen, and looking back on it, what are your (and f/o’s) thoughts abt how you both were back then?"
Honestly i can... Barely pinpoint an exact moment where there was a true confession. I mean, back then, he was a mess... In a very dark place in his life. So he wasn't in a real place to make a proper confession. There was mutual pining since basically the moment we met. There was a moment where I had to cut him off from a self depreciating rant by kissing him which was our first kiss and that was probably the moment where it truly clicked? A lot of shit happened after that, and there was his spiel (affectionate) when he broke through his horrid mental state which i guess could be classified as a confession? I'm honestly not 100% sure when a proper confession was made. But we were very, very different back then.
SO WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME ABT THIS VOICE CLIP HIS VA DID IN ENGLISH...
Listen I love his voice anyways, I could listen to it regardless whether or not I understand it. Yet, suddenly hearing his voice in a language I understood? Absolutely blindsided me. On the floor in tears.
