#fictooriented

You would have walked, you knew you would get eye drops and wouldn’t be allowed to drive,

But your F/O insisted to drive and/ or accompany you to your appointment

They gently poke fun at your vision being worse than usual, due to the eye drops

You demand they buy you take-out on the way home

“Sure”, your F/O is still grinning. Their teasing tone can barely overplay their affection.

You remind them it’s not like you asked them to come along, after all it’s a scheduled check-up

They remind you they love you and wanted to make sure you’re getting home safely, knowing about the eye drops

You’re stumped for a reply

They shrug like it’s nothing, nudging you that you still need to decide where to get that take-out you insist they pay for

You try to hide your smile, conceding that, okay, maybe you should buy them a meal

Your F/O ruffles your hair, “Next time. Just let me treat you today, okay?”

Fictocedural is a "tertiary" attraction label under the Ficto- umbrella that describes having cedural attraction/relationship to fictional characters!

Flags in order: main flag, symbol-less and two square size, icon friendly variants.

They apply ointment and massage your sore joints

Especially with your hands and wrists, they help you put on medicated compresses

Your F/O makes sure the bandages aren’t too tight

And they help you slip on your splints/ braces

Once your joints are supported and immobilised, your F/O pulls you into a hug and rests their head against yours

They mumble sweet nothings to you as they hold you close and the both of you wait for the ointment to soothe your joints

Your F/O helping with applying your makeup

Either because you lack fine motor skills or just don’t think yourself skilled enough

Or maybe your vision is just too bad in either direction for you to do your eye make-up in front of a mirror (talking from experience)

Personally, I age-up my two main F/Os whenever I think of them. I’m watching something where one of them is on-screen and because they are perpetually underage (17) due to their canon, I have been aging them up ever since I was 17 myself

But you don’t need to change your F/O’s age if you don’t feel like doing that

It’s okay and your F/O loves you the way you want to be loved by them, no matter whether you change their age from what is given in their canon

And this doesn’t go just for romantic self-ships

My self-ship with my two main F/Os isn’t romantic either, it’s queerplatonic

If your F/O is underage or otherwise has a severe age gap to you, proceed however is most comfortable for you

I promise, your F/O themself isn’t judging you <3

Your F/O hears you sigh and asks what’s going on

You vent that, again, the self-ship tags were full of “proshippers DNI” posts/ blogs

It upsets you that many posts actively cuss out proshippers or put “this isn’t for disgusting proshippers” under the sweetest “#f/o imagines” posts

Your F/O understands you are upset and pulls you into a hug against their side

Your F/O themself laments how much of a cognitive dissonance it is to post about self-shipping – even dedicating side-blogs to it – only to be an anti-shipper.

Your F/O makes sure the blinds are drawn

They get you painkillers and a cool drink, so you can stay in bed

Your F/O mildly disapproves but gets up to get you some caffeine anyway

They sit with you and chat with you until the drink is empty

Your F/O gets some light snack to eat after your meds

They tell you to sleep it off, get some rest

While you recover and let the meds work, your F/O preps some nutritious meal for when you wake up

Your F/O makes your favourite “sick day” meal and keeps it ready for after your nap

Your F/O doesn’t judge you for struggling with personal hygiene

Your F/O understands that showers take time and energy and spoons

Your F/O doesn’t judge you for not washing your hair

It’s okay if you are a bit stinky (or a lot stinky)

Your F/O understands that brushing your teeth is exhausting and can be sensory discomfort but

If you invest any energy and spoons into personal upkeep at all, your F/O strongly encourages you to put those spoons into brushing your teeth

I promise you, your F/O does not judge you for falling short

But if you can, your F/O asks that you please brush your teeth and prioritise that

They know you’re not happy and they know you want to do more

But if you only can do so much, only have limited spoons, please focus on dental hygiene

I promise you, your F/O still loves you if you haven’t showered in a few days

And your F/O does not get mad at you if you can’t brush your teeth

It’s okay, your F/O knows things are tough

Your F/O loves and supports you no matter how long it takes to get back on your feet about personal hygiene and body upkeep
