f/o who finds a crane machine at an arcade, identifies the specific item they want, spends an unreasonable amount of money on it, wins it, and presents it to you immediately like it was the plan all along
wanna show your appreciation for your f/o? wanna dedicate some time or space to them (without spending money on merch)? just bored?? here’s a few of my fav things to do for my f/o!! :3
1 : Trinket Box
Sometimes, if I’m out somewhere and see a tiny knickknack or a pretty rock that reminds me of my f/o, I pick it up to add to my trinket box.
For this craft, you’ll need
- A small box, like a jewelry box
- Some paint, pens, or any medium that will stick to the material of the box you’re using
Then, decorate the box in anyway you’d like. Here, I painted it and drew my f/o in pen. I keep stuff in here that reminds me of my f/o, like little doodles, written song lyrics, and loads of teeny keepsakes.
2 : Recipes
If you love to cook or bake, this is for you!! On occasion I’ll see a dessert on Pinterest or irl and just think to myself, “omg my f/o would love that,” so, I’ll make it. Or, maybe your f/o has a canonical favorite food you could make! It’s so fun and gratifying to cook, and cooking for my f/o makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. :) plus, you get a yummy snack in the end
Bonus !! Write down the recipe on a little card and keep it in your trinket box.
3 : Letters
Write your f/o a letter! I’ve seen this recommended on similar posts before, but I cannot recommend it enough. Writing a letter to your f/o is a great way to talk to them directly. Personally, it makes me feel very close to my f/o. Also, they’re fun to reread after a while hehe. I like to write them out by hand and address them like you would a typical letter, but you could always type it out in your notes app. :)
If you’re unsure what to write in your letter, here’s some ideas:
- Tell your f/o about places you’d like to travel with them
- Write about what a perfect day would be like with your f/o
- Just write about how your day was! I find that this really helps me feel better after a bad day
4 : Playlist + Booklet
Making a playlist for your f/o is fun, but to take it a step further, you should try making a CD booklet! In case you don’t know, a CD booklet is the little book that comes with a CD, which usually has album-related art and the track list + lyrics.
For this craft, I like to:
- Make a playlist of about 15-ish songs
- Burn it onto a CD (this is extra tho hehe)
- Make a little square booklet by folding paper and stapling it together
- Dedicate a page to each song in the playlist and write why I chose it/why it reminds me of my f/o :3
- Put it all together in a CD case w/ the mix :)
5 : Your F/O’s Interests !
This activity is my personal favorite. Nothing makes me feel closer to my f/o than learning about their favorite things.
Personally, I’m learning piano on an old keyboard I picked up from a garage sale since keyboards are important to my f/o. I’ve also been watching zombie movies… this doesn’t have to be about picking up a new skill, it’s just about getting to know your f/o better. I find this activity to be the most rewarding out of all the others, and it makes my bond with my f/o even stronger.
bonus lightning round:
- INCORRECT QUOTES!! they are so corny but also SO fun. I use this website.
- re(watch/play/listen/read/consume) your f/o’s source
- recreate your f/o in a life sim like Tomodachi Life or the Sims
- make a moodboard or stimboard of/for your f/o
- if you haven’t already, make a Pinterest board dedicated to your f/o
- look up f/o imagines :3
- make accessories related to your f/o! soda cap pins, diy patches, kandi bracelets, and keychains are just some ideas
- make a side blog dedicated to your ship (that is if you don’t already have one haha)
caring for f/o while theyre going through a depressive episode...
clearing away trash from their desk/the space around them, making them something homecooked and bringing it into their room when they have no energy to make food for themself
putting their bedding and the clothes theyve been wearing for days through the laundry so that theyre soft and clean for them
running a warm bath and helping them to clean themselves, taking extra care to their hair- massaging the soap into their scalp, feeling their muscles relax into the touch.
staying by their side- or giving space, if that's what they need at that moment.
all while telling them how loved they are, that they're anything but a burden. That you're there for them whenever they need, and you'll stay patient with them as they recover from this slump.
you and f/o are both trying to cook something neither of you has made before. the recipe has too many steps. someone misread a measurement. there is flour somewhere it shouldn't be. it comes out wrong in a way that is somehow still edible and you eat it anyway at the kitchen counter at 9pm.
it tastes like something you'll remember for a long time.
Imagine baking with your f/o(s) but instead of it being all cutesy and lovey dovey there’s flour EVERYWHERE, you guys are on the ground and there’s smoke flooding out of the oven
