hey don’t cry. f/o that doesn’t show up in media much will get more appearances immediately ok? obscure f/o will get more fanart immediately ok? f/o that people don’t like much will stop being so hated ok? ok.
functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I
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)
𓂃 you hanging out with your f/o(s) and one of you just puts your nose in their mouth and goes " nom ahahahahahaha nom ahahahahahaha nom ahahahahahaha no " 🥹🥹 /ref ♡
I don't ship myself with characters. I yearn to have a relationship with them that borders on affectionate tolerance to playful banter. I want to be the person they see and sigh but they're still happy to see me. I want to tag along with them for every advent they have.
F/O that seems very straight-laced and composed, but the moment you walk in close to them it becomes EXTREMELY clear they cannot handle all that. Simply being close to you gets them blushing and if you give them a cheeky little wink they might pass out
