strawberry,coconut mango,key lime & cotton candy for saruhiko & maybe dazai if not too much! :3c
@securitycopswife thank you so so much for the ask friend!! It shouldn’t be too much, I’m unfortunately always looking for pretty much any excuse to talk about these wonderful men whom I love with all my heart and soul lol
strawberry: before getting together, how did your F/O realize they had a crush on you? How did they act around you once they realized they were head over heels?
Saruhiko has the emotional sensitivity and awareness of a walnut, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t notice when he’s starting to get those warm, fuzzy feelings he doesn’t like and wishes would go away lol...he probably realized it the first time I smiled and was nice to him or something :’) the first time I made him feel like he mattered just as he was, without expecting him to be a certain way, or berating him for being himself...listening to him, making him feel ValidTM. He liked Nova enough at first glance to help save her from being arrested/kidnapped or continuing to be abused, so. He doesn’t necessarily act that much kinder after the fact, although he probably would without realizing it...showing favoritism and cherishing my company even if he doesn’t want to lol. Looking forward to and even looking for excuses to be around me/share my presence. Actually deriving some kind of simple joy/satisfaction just from seeing me smile, from seeing me happy, especially if I’m acting that way because of him/something he said/did. Ahfieslhfesl god sorry for being so stupid and SOFT I just love this man SO SO MUCH
coconut mango: what mementos do you and your F/O treasure?
:D well I’ve gone back and forth with it a lot but I like to think we have matching necklaces...one of those yin yang symbols but with cats, he keeps the black one (to remind him of me) and I keep the white one because it’s the other half lol. Very meaningful and precious and it just makes me so happy ;w;
key lime: how would you describe your self-ship’s aesthetic?
Other than the general shades of blue/purple color scheme that this selfship shares with some of my other ones, I tend to associate this selfship with warmth a lot, surprisingly. The idea of duality. Partially because of Saruhiko’s dual Auras (and the warmth he provides me both as a result of them and my love for him ;w;) and partially because of how much we influence each other. He’s the one person that makes me feel heard, who notices even the little things about me that no one else can or even could, because he’s suffered similar hardships/emotional abuse. I showed him how to smile again, how to feel secure in someone, and we both make sure the other knows that they’re the most, MOST important person in either of our lives...so we never have to question if we only come up second best yet again, so easily replaced :’) the duality of finding happiness and security despite our trust issues, finding sincere love that makes us feel fulfilled...hilshfes I got kind of off track but I hope that’s kind of an acceptable answer ;w;
cotton candy: post the last picture of your F/O that you saved!
Alright digging through my camera roll for these lmfao apparently I just so happened to save cat images of both him and Dazai, rip but LOOK HOW FUCKING CUTE HE IS...I STILL CAN’T GET OVER THE FACT THAT THIS IS OFFICIAL MERCH FHIELSFJLIEJFS
strawberry: before getting together, how did your F/O realize they had a crush on you? How did they act around you once they realized they were head over heels?
Dazai just be like *zeroes in on this weird girl who clearly has a crush on him but is also terrified of him* “oh, interesting, clearly nothing could go wrong here” fhielsjfselfes but seriously I think he probably realized it after he and Nova spent more time together. He realized how lonely and like, worthless she felt, and he didn’t think she deserved to feel that way...and then the more they talked and got to know each other the more he started to care for her more intimately and now here we are :^) I don’t think he’d really act that much different than normal...he may he softer in private though, go out of his way to do more things to support and reassure her...he can be fairly caring/kind when it suits him, lol
coconut mango: what mementos do you and your F/O treasure?
I’m just gonna say the same as above, the matching necklaces, because that’s something I like to imagine I have with my f/os in most if not all of my selfships :D it works as long as I stick with Nova as my SI, and I don’t plan on changing that up any time soon, I’m just too attached to her lol
key lime: how would you describe your self-ship’s aesthetic?
Because of Dazai’s color scheme, he always makes me think of tea/coffee lol...coffee because of color and the amazing smell associated with it, but I default to tea as well because I don’t like the taste of coffee, I’m much more of a tea person lol. Also like forbidden love, from not being able to touch each other at first, an invisible barrier that’s always there both as a protection and a curse of sorts. BOOKS...BOOKS AND WRITING ALSO, LIKE, I CAN’T HELP IT LOL not when this series gives me the perfect opportunity to project all my writing feelings directly into it and it’s FITTING they actually BELONG THERE LOL...and eventually just lots of soft, quiet moments, inspecting and soothing each other’s emotional and physical scars, reassuring each other that we’ll always be there for one another, neither of us ever has to be alone or abandoned again...clearly a major theme in most if not all of my selfships lol
cotton candy: post the last picture of your F/O that you saved!
here is the other kitty...honestly I don’t even remember where this official art came from but it was in my camera roll so. here you go
