So then a selfshipping question to get the ball rolling! What was your first selfship? :o
That would be Wackoman.exe from Megaman NT Warrior! I crushed on this clown when i was just a wee lass, and he's still so damn cute i dont think he'll ever stop rotating in my brain
Wassup mann!! F/O question!! How many F/Os do you have? How did your insert meet them!!
homeslice i gotta be honest i have way more than any sane person needs. More than i can list, i have so many even I forget them sometimes
My current brainrots r my brawlstars f/os (mostly Carl) and Andrias. Grime also. I'll put the meetings into a read more!
Carl
- Alright so ive got a lotta reworking to do for my old brawl stars self insert, but essentially they met at Barley's and clicked really fast.
- I've got a few versions in my head for how they met actually based on what the mood is for before-bed-mental-fanfic-time.
- Main one is that Cam, the stand in name for s/i, overhears Carl infodumping like mad to someone else and just falls head over heels INSTANTLY. And ends up going to Barley's more often just to listen to his voice and such (it thinks his lisp is so damn cute too which only makes it want to go to Barley's more often)
- The other one, reserved for my aggressive days, is Cam getting a bit mean to someone in defense of Carl. Someone makes a shitty comment about him or to him and Cam refuses to let it slide, and gets in the aggressor's face somethin fierce. Depending on severity of my aggression, it can develop into a full out fistfight. Cam wins obviously <3 and Carl is left going .//////.
- However it goes, Carl and Cam click very well due to their shared love of crystals and rocks and the like, autism win <3<3<3
Andrias
- Okay theres a LOT of lore for these two bc I basically never stop thinking about them but Atlas meets Andrias at the same time Anne does. Well, almost.
- Because of his chronic pain and bad knees, he took a bit longer to make it up the stairs to the throne room, and just barely missed Anne and the Gang heading off to their hotel room.
- Rot pokes rots head in, giving a nervous glance before making direct eye contact with the King himself. Because he's socially inept (/aff), he gives a little wave to Andrias, who returns it bc he really is a sweetheart and goofball.
- "I uh, don't suppose they left already?"
- "Ah, you just missed them!"
- "Wonderful." Atlas isn't pleased about the idea of taking the stairs again. "Which way is the hotel room, if I may?"
- Andrias gives him the directions, but seems a touch disheartened that Atlas is leaving so soon. For once, the shapeshifter reads the room, and makes a spontaneous decision not to go immediately.
- "Well, I suppose it can wait. Not every day one gets to meet the King of Amphibia, right?" He steps into the room and approaches the throne, slightly hesitant bc of social anxiety, but he speaks to the king as though he were an equal rather than a mighty ruler, and Andrias actually really likes it. It's nice not to hear "your majesty" and "my liege" every other sentence.
- "Hah! Very true. Andrias Leviathan is my full name, may I have yours?"
- "I don't think I'm interested in giving my name away, but you may know it." They share a laugh. "Atlas Tarbound, at your service. Pleasure to meet you, King Andrias."
- And they click immediately! I could go on for hours about them I'm not kidding (there is so much more than I can fit in a single post /gen)
Grime
- My selfshipping with Grime is a little complicated, because when I get into selfshipping with several characters I tend to make au versions of my self-insert rather than different characters for shipping purpose!
- So the version of Atlas used here is a different timeline from the one that ends up with Andrias.
- Essentially, I determined that with Atlas living in the woods on the edge of the valley, rot'd likely encounter soldiers from Toad Tower quite often.
- And Atlas doesn't like intruders very much, especially ones without decent intent. So rot regularly drives away said soldiers with his illusions, shapeshifted monster form, and traps to keep rots way of life as it is.
- One of these days, Grime leads a group into the woods to figure out what exactly keeps sending his soldiers back trembling and terrified to go back into the seemingly innocuous woods. Because of this, Grime gets to witness the Beast In the Woods firsthand.
- However, Grime catches Atlas on a high-pain day, which means with enough fighting his form fails and it returns its his default: Just Some Salamander
- This is thoroughly surprising and interesting to him, and he strikes a deal with Atlas: Join my forces, and I can help you keep a peaceful life when off the battlefield by declaring these woods off-limits to hunters and the like.
- Atlas takes this deal, and becomes a soldier under Grime's command. Quickly becoming the army's very own living weapon.
And there! Three self-insert stories in one post! I hope you enjoyed my rambles, heavens know I sure enjoyed writing them!
And my answer is I cant choose! It would break my heart to do so
Buuuuut i can tell you the f/os i relate to most, listed in no particular order. Located under the cut!
First we have Carl. Since brawl stars doesnt have extensive character lore, a lot of my relation is to both his characterization and how the fandom views them. He actually reminds me a lot of how I used to be, and somewhat how i am today. A bit snarky, proud of his abilities, and very aware of his intelligence. As for how he's viewed by the fandom, theres those who adore him (like myself), and those who cant stand him for whatever reason. Which is pretty self explanatory.
Also he and i both have gem and rock fixations! Autism win!
Second up for who comes to mind best is probably Wally/Walliam Ribbiton, from Amphibia. Seen as odd, weird, kind of shit on by others for his "weirdness", but just going through life however he pleases.
Not to mention the overbearing family who thinks/wants you to be something you arent, and you feel you have to keep a mask on around them because if they ever knew who you really are they would be disappointed and such. We have a lot in common!
And third, since i seem to be doing these in threes, is Bismuth from Steven Universe. I dont actually relate to her very heavily, aside from various "wow ouch you really went for the throat with her internal issues huh" moments, but she's one of my earlier f/os and I have a huge connection to her.
As for our similarities, we both have strong desires to help people, and we are somewhat over-protective of our loved ones. And once we get an idea into our heads, its extremely difficult to get it out of there because we convince ourselves thats what is true. We will run ourselves into the ground in the name of what we do and hate the idea of disappointing others. Stubborn sons a' bitches we are.
We both give spectacular hugs also. I am her buff lil lesboy joyfriend :3
