(all art by me!)
Hi! I wanted to make a pinned post and also a selfship intro :)
My name is Micah and I’ve loved Vector Perkins for 14+ years, but due to being 19 at the time, I thought I was “too cool” to selfship (it wasn’t called that at the time) but 14 years later I realize he’s been my main f/o this entire time and it’s a wonderful feeling to finally be open about him being my soulmate :) (seriously, we are just alike- except I’m a lot nicer LOL)
My self-insert is named Gale Fujita. (Villain name: Fujita Sgale). She is a white American with adoptive Japanese-American parents (hence her last name). Her schtick is that her special interest is in storms and severe weather, particularly tornados. Using Youtube tutorials, she crafted her own weather ray gun using HAARP technology and can control the weather. She uses horrible storms to cause chaos so she can perform crimes and heists while not being caught.
She is a huge fan of Vector from what she knows about him. She thinks he’s very beautiful, charming, smart, and sexy 🤭 She’s a huge fangirl from the get-go but ends up getting his attention with her weather gun. They’re trying to pull the same heist, and her gun zaps all of his electronic weapons into being useless. This impresses him. Long story short, they become allies and friends.
Gale has dyscalculia, which contrasts with Vector being a mathematical genius. As they become closer, he realizes this is a disability and not something he can exactly tutor her on. They begin team up using both of their minds (Vector being more analytical and Gale being more street smart).
Eventually they become more than friends. Vector is definitely a lone wolf but figures “why not” when it comes to dating Gale. Clearly she is on board from the beginning, but she grows on Vector and they fall in genuine love.
I also think they are both virgins and upon doing “stuff” for the first time, Gale becomes pregnant with their daughter, who is named Constance “Connie” Perkins. Connie eventually becomes a villain herself, Convection, which is a nautical weather term (combining her parents’ special interests. I’ll post more about her later, but that’s her as a baby at the end of the images).
Mr. Perkins, Vector’s father, loves Gale and thinks she is genuinely perfect for his son. She and Vector are both the same sort of awkward and goofy, but Gale is more taciturn at times. She is not immune to goofing off with Vector though, it happens all the time.
It’s Perkins who pleads with Vector to marry Gale so they can have a legitimate family. Vector of course has no qualms with it. They love each other, and their daughter, and Perkins especially is very close with Connie.
Fun facts about Gale’s name; Gale meaning like a wind (and also Dorothy’s last name from Wizard of Oz, the arguably coolest tornado scene ever in film) and Fujita being the scale they rate tornado intensity by.
Anyway, I love my little self insert. She is based almost completely on myself of course. Vector is the most important guy to me ever and I love him so much, there’s no way I couldn’t make a self insert for Despicable Me.
