reality is lemons and the internet's my lemonade!! :3

You can be a selfshipper while having a real life partner.

You can be a selfshipper as a way to cope with not being able to find a real partner.

You can be a selfshipper and never want a real life partner.

Your relationship to real people doesn't diminsih your selfships. You can selfship regardless of your IRL status or your desire for one.

Lazily resting their head on their arms at a desk or table

Stretching so that their shirt rides up, exposing a sliver of their torso

Sleeping sprawled across a bed like a contented cat

Squatting to look at a bug or flower

Awkwardly trying to open a snack at midnight without waking anyone around them

touch starved f/o who never initiates. they're always watching your hands when you're nearby, silently wondering if you'll touch them. they act like it's no big deal when you finally do, but the quiet sigh they let out betrays how much they need it.

touch starved f/o who wilts when you forget to give them a kiss in the morning, never one to ask, but the second you remember they're grinning giddily as you pepper their face with kisses.

touch starved f/o who gets bold when it's just the two of you, building up the courage to rest a hand on your hip, your arm, your thigh. it's never pushy, always gentle, just a quiet reminder that you're real beside them.

Jealous f/o who does that 'tch' tongue click thing at others you're too friendly with

(´∀｀*)

your f/o really likes your name btw

even if you think it's a silly one, or it doesn't fit you, they love it because it's YOUR name!

and if you want them to call you another name, they won't hesitate to do so, because it's what makes YOU COMFORTABLE. they love your new name just as much as the old one, and they would NEVER use your old name if it made you uncomfortable and/or dysphoric.

sometimes they like to just say your name to themself when they're alone, because it just sounds so nice to them!!!

“Why are you wearing that towel around your chest? Put it around your waist, you’ve got nothing to be ashamed of”

“You can wear my clothes while I’m doing your laundry, you look good in them anyway”

“I can cut your hair for you at home, it’s cheaper than going to the barber— I’ll make you look handsome, don’t worry”

i need you to imagine your f/o’s “oh. oh.” moment. aka: the moment it hits them like a freight train that they’ve fallen for you, and fallen hard. what caused it? was it a big gesture, teasing from a friend, a shared moment together, or something else entirely? were they in public, trying desperately to hide their burning face? or do they take a moment to let out all of their emotions in private? imagine them frustrated out of their mind, believing that it was foolish to let themselves get so close to you. but now they can’t deny it anymore; they need to have you.

Imagine cuddling with f/o, legs and arms tangled together in a surprisingly comfortable way. f/o carefully adjusting to tuck you in closer, chin resting on your head as they absentmindedly trace slow, gentle patterns on your back. maybe you both quietly talk with eachother until one of you falls asleep, or maybe your f/o has already drifted away to sleep the moment they curled up to you.
