my name is bug, i use any and i have been selfshipping for nearly THREE years now!
over time, i’ve mostly stuck with one Main f/o who is one of my OCs
his name is abel (🐺) and we are in the worst situationship of all time. i haven’t really decided How i selfship with him cause it swings between platonic and romantic (and a secret third thing) so i just say he’s my sweetie pie ya
okay so i lied. my other main f/o is p03 from inscryption. (#💙) i dont really care about sharing and nonsharing though yaaa
i’m not the most active- i mostly reblog others posts- but i’m here and alive i SWEAR 🙏
i don't really have a strict DNI, i'll just block- i do not care for most online discourse lol
I like when I remember that my selfship doesn’t have to strictly be a super romantic relationship to be something I enjoy because too much romance repulses me. Yes, that character is my best friend, yes, we’re also dating.
a/n: decided not to specify the pet name for personalization, but do tell me in the tags what it would be ~
Your f/o always calls you by your name. It’s your name, what else were they supposed to call you? Though lately, they’d considered calling you something more personal, more endearing. But they couldn’t quite find the words. What if it sounded cheesy?
Writing to notify you of their return from a work trip, they decided to test a name out on paper. It was easier than verbalizing it.
Upon welcoming them back, you mentioned the name, and how sweet it was. The way you beamed when they finally spoke it aloud settled it. This was now their name for you.
dimming the lights, turning down loud noises, making sure they speak quieter and move carefully to not set off your migraines. maybe they try to distract you from the pain, or maybe they let you use them as a pillow while you try to sleep it off.
maybe you have some very specific migraine remedy that works for you. if that’s the case, they’re on it. grabbing whatever you need, even running out to get it if it’s not in the house.
regardless, your f/o is there if you need anything at all. they don’t like seeing you in so much pain :(
i love f/o’s who are taller than you as much as the next guy, and f/o’s who are shorter than you are so so darling; but shout out to f/o’s who are the exact same height as you. perfect height for kissing and hugging each other, you fit just right in each others arms, it might even be easier to share clothes. f/o’s who are the same height as you are simply the perfect size for loving!
mayhaps imagines for an f/o that struggles with showing affection and tends to be teasing/brutish as a result…. they are trying their best… etc etc…. TYSM! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🚡
-> Your F/O has... never been gifted with words.
-> In fact, when you first met them, you weren't even sure if they liked you.
-> When they first found themselves noticing your smile, they blurted, "Could you stop smiling all the time? It's off-putting." Feeling awkward, you did as they said. But after a while, you noticed them beside you, hesitantly clenching their fists. Eventually, they grumbled, "Hey... I didn't really mean stop smiling. I just meant... don't smile so... aggressively."
-> They started being... helpful, in their own way.
-> Once, when you were struggling to carry something, they grunted, "Can you be any slower? Just let me handle it."
-> When you suffered a minor injury, they exclaimed, "Are you okay?!" Embarrassed by their sudden sincerity, they added, "Don't be so clumsy in the future. I don't wanna be stuck taking care of you."
-> There was a skill you were trying to learn, but could never quite succeed at. When you finally made a breakthrough, you reflexively told your F/O out of excitement. They replied, "Good. You succeeded. You always have a... way of surprising me." While such a comment would usually seem backhanded, the smile on their face looked surprisingly sincere.
-> The more time you spent around them, the more protective of you they seemed to become.
-> If an item of yours broke, they'd quietly repair it. If you dropped something, they'd pick it up.
-> If you hung around others too often, they'd huff, "How much more time are you gonna waste around losers? C'mon, we have stuff to do."
-> One time, you cried, and you noticed how they hovered oddly close to you. After clearing their throat uncomfortably, they muttered, "Hey... don't cry. When you blubber like that, you look all... pitiful."
-> Another time, you mentioned liking a certain snack. The next day, they appeared, holding a comically large quantity of said snack. "Just so you don't complain about being hungry," they grumbled.
-> While they still aren't a master of charisma, you've come to realize that they indeed like you... very, very much. And you feel exactly the same way.
imagine your f/o noticing you’re off before you say anything.
they don’t ask a bunch of questions. they just pull you close, somewhere soft and quiet.
if you’re restless, they let you fidget with them. their hand, their hair, their clothes. if you’re tired, they let you lean into them. no pressure to be anything other than how you are.
they help with the little things. water. food. rest. gently, no big deal.
you’re not too much for them to handle. you’re just someone they love who needs a little extra care right now.
people always say opposites attract, but shout out to all the self shippers who have an f/o that is very similar to them! whether it be having similar interests, appearance, hobbies, or something as simple as the same favorite color, your f/o loves having someone they can relate to :]
Hyperfem selfshippers who are constantly pushed to the side for their more masculine counterparts, I see you.
You are infact not too girly for your f/o. They LOVE how unabashedly feminine you are. They love that you like pink, bows, lace, ribbon.
They would collect them for you and fashion you little barettes out of their collected material. They’d add little charms too, perhaps ones that remind you of them so you’re always carrying a little piece of them around with you wherever you go.
Your f/o would never undermine your intelligence because you like a little skirt. Because you like to smell of whipped cream or strawberry tarts. Because you like a lash that would make you flutter away. They know you are incredibly smart. That you study hard, and are capable of great things.
They don’t treat you like an airhead or like a lesser alternative because of how you dress, what you like, and the softness in your edges.
Your f/o helps you attach ribbons to your hair and handbag, they are always sending you posts of bunnies or fawn with a “wow look baby, it’s you!”
They glare at the people who imply you are lesser. Dumber. Unworthy. Your f/o would not let anyone even insinuate that, wouldn’t dare let them go about treating you with such disrespect while saying that they love your f/o!
Your gentleness, your sweetness, your kindness and grace, they are all part of what your f/o loves about you, despite what others may say. 🩷
A rough few days reckoning with the realisation that I am treated the way I am by some other selfshippers because they see my softness as a weakness. But Chance loves it, I know he does
