Hawkeye’s Husband

i know that there will be a lot of pride month posts going around right now, and that this one may be left of field but:

for every selfshipper who is still in the closet

for every selfshipper who doesn’t know if they’ll ever be able to come out of the closet

for every selfshipper who is scared

for every selfshipper who was not accepted by those around them

for every selfshipper who isn’t out even to the queer people in their lives

for every selfshipper who only gets to be themselves with their f/o

for every selfshipper who does not know who they are yet

for every selfshipper who many struggle during pride month and feel guilty for such

for every selfshipper who does not feel seen even right now

for every selfshipper who is only out on the internet

for every selfshipper who is only out to the close people in their lives

for every selfshipper who needs to hear it this pride:

your f/o loves you as you are.

i love you as you are.

you deserve sunshine.

we deserve sunshine.

you are still queer, for rainbows still exist even when the weather doesn’t allow them to be seen. dms are open always, but especially at this time 🩷

If someone tries telling you that your F/O(s) can't be LGBT+, you are legally allowed to violently explode them to death and get away with it this month.

You don't have to have life figured out. Career, school, goals; all of it can be worked on one step at a time. Your f/o doesn't mind helping you figure out what's best for you or to help get your mind off the stress that may come with such important decisions!

You don't have to look a certain way. Fat, thin, muscular, tall, short, average. Your body is perfect to your f/o, not because of how it looked when you met, or how it looks now, but because it's your own. It's perfect because it's a part of you, an ever-changing work of art.

You don't have to always feel at your best. You're allowed to be angry, sad, empty, tired; it doesn't make you any less deserving of your f/o's love and care. They'll always do their best to help you work out your emotions or at least give you something to help you out with it all; whether it be space, a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on.

You don't have to be affectionate all the time. It's okay to have moments, short or long, where affection can be something difficult to muster. Your f/o still loves you and they know that you love them as well!

You don't have to be in the perfect environment. Harsh home life, complicated relationships with friends and/or family, your f/o will have your back no matter what. You'll always be able to rely on them in your darkest hour, and they'll never see you seeking them out as just a need for attention or overly clingy behavior. They're happy to be your safe place, no matter what you may be going through.

You don't have to be anything other than yourself. You don't need to look, act, think, talk, or do anything differently than you normally would! Your f/o's love for you is true and unconditional. They love everything about you, even the parts that you haven't learned to love about yourself yet.

Your f/o loves you for you. Through the best and the worst of it all, they'll stick by your side no matter what! Don't be hard on yourself, you're doing the best you can in your current situation, and that's all that really matters!
