@poketin thank you so much ahhh ♡♡♡

soooo,, i know i said id write but like

this made me first think of hades and persephone, and then i tried to write it, but then a better visualization for a fanart came to mind so i decided to do that

and then it turned into selfship trash.

say hello to my pjo selfinsert Val, here w his boo Nico

UR A NERD! THANKS! ♥

1. What’s each other their cell phone contact names for each other?

Tince: “babe ♥” for Lance and “sweetpea ♥” for Tina

Keina: “kitten” for Tina and “kitty” for Keith - both with a cat face emoji

Tink: “angel” for Tina and “pumpkin” for Hunk - these also with emojis

Tidge: “muffin” for Pidge and “cupcake” for Tina - they’d use the cake emojis but yup, emojis

Shina: “moon” for Shiro and “star” for Tina - ofc, emojis included

Allina: “berry” for Tina - with a grape emoji instead but you do what you can - and “snowflake” for Allura, with snowflake emoji

Valico: “ghost king” with a ghost emoji for Nico, “evening star” for Val, with a star emoji. Nico is so embarrassed he never lets anyone know, Val is just really fucking gay once he finds out tbh.

2. Who’s the one to go to the grocery store with a full list of what they need, and who’s the one that goes for one thing and gets everything else but that one thing?

Tince: Tina’s the first, Lance the second. Keina: Keith the first and Tina the last. Tink: Tina the first, Hunk a mix of the two. Tidge: Tina the first, Pidge the last. Shina: Shiro the first, Tina the last. Allina: Tina the first, Allura the last. Tina varies between the two because she usually likes to follow a list, but if she’s with someone else that can take care of the list then she wanders... Valico: Nico’s the first and Val’s the last.

3. Who has a calendar with things they’re going to be doing today, and who doesn’t have a set schedule and still ends up missing deadlines?

Okay so, neither Val nor Tina have a calendar. They do try to always be early to stuff, but they have no calendar. Shiro, Hunk, Allura, and Lance would have a calendar I think; Keith, Pidge, and Nico would be the last.

4. Who decorates the house?

Both Val and Tina would love to do that, but also decide to do so with their s/o. They wouldn’t take such important decisions alone, yknow?

5. How do they function as a family unit? (Whether it be the two of you or some little ones!)

Both Tina and Val are really good with kids, so they’d function well with kids involved.

I think Shiro, Lance, Hunk and Keith would work really well as parents! But also as a family unit, although Keith and Tina would need to sort out a way to handle things when they clash, but they would. Pidge and Allura I feel like would have troubles with kids, but Allura would deal with functioning as a family unit without kids pretty well. Pidge... well, it depends? I feel like she’d work, in her own way, but she would. Nico would take some time to adjust to being a family unit of any kind, but I feel like he’d love it.

6. What are they’re plans for the future?

Both Val and Tina have no plans. They just wanna get through their days, maybe find something worth living for, and just stay with their s/os, for now.

7. How do they decide what they do for dinner? 

Tina and Val are very chill, all “anything’s fine by me”. So they’d make the other choose. If they can’t find a compromise that works for everyone, fast food is the go to.

8. Are their any nightly/morning routines that they do?

Tina and Lance do their skin care together! Tina also practices with Shiro and Keith, although she doesn’t follow their morning routines always, sometimes she just wants to sleep in.

9. Do they visit family for the holidays or stay home?

Well... Tina has no family, and the paladins can’t exactly go home. In a modern setting, Tina would accompany those who would go back to their families for the holidays! Val prefers not to visit family ever again. Sometimes he’s invited to spend the holidays with Nico in the Underworld, which... might not sound great, but hey, he’s with Nico, so that works for him. It also works that his father doesn’t hate him (yet).

10. Who is early on bills and who is right on time?

I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO THESE HAHA SORRY AND THANK YOUUU!! ♥

1. Do you have a set story for how you met them/fell in love/etc or do you re-imagine it all the time? If you have a set story, how much detail have you put into it?

Okay so there’s already the story of how Tina met all the paladins! It was more of a “I sat down and came up with it and wrote it down on the spot” hehe, so I put… enough detail into it? I made a fic on it so I mean.

I don’t have a set story for how she fell in love with the paladins, though! Can there really even be a set story? Falling in love happens gradually, and you don’t really notice it at first. There’s not really a story to be told, I’m afraid!

I don’t have a story of how Val met or fell in love with Nico, although he met him at Camp obv. I’ll get that sorted out more when I actually finish HoO!

4. When is your usual or preferred time to imagine self ship stuff?

I don’t really have a preferred time? But I guess my usual would be before falling asleep!

5. Modern or Fantasy AUs?

Modern! I love fantasy AUs, don’t get me wrong, but modern puts the characters in my own world. In situations that are realistic. And I just… I dunno, I really like that.

6. Coffee shop AU or Floral shop AU?

Coffee shop AU! Mostly because I can work with it better oops, but I just love cofee shops.

8. What kinds of things would they give you as a gift? What kinds of things would you give them?

Hmmm. I think Lance would give Tina jewellry that fits her! I think he’d have a good eye. Tina would get him skin care stuff, because she knows he takes good care of his skin and it’s important to him, and she’s not good with gifts, so she goes with something practical.

Pidge would give her cool rocks and crystals, which might not sound great, but she loves crystals and pretty rocks, so she’d be in awe, and Pidge would know just which ones she’d love more! In change, she’d always snatch anything technological that seems like it could interest Pidge, as well as getting her videogames (if they got to find a way to hook up the console anywhere) and stuff!

Hunk is more likely to cook for her as a gift than anything, but also whenever he has a sweater or a jacket or a shirt that doesn’t fit him anymore or he doesn’t particularly like himself, he’ll ask her if she wants it and she lights up and says yes. She loves them! She’d make handmade bracelets and necklaces for him!

Shiro would get her anything he comes across that makes him think of her! She finds that so adorable, even if sometimes it just means a cute flower. She would be more likely to give her less material things - less gifts and more do him favours like give him a massage after a rough day.

Keith wouldn’t know what to give her, honestly. He’d end up like taking pictures of cute or weird or interesting things to show her when she’s not there to see them herself. Any kind of trinket he can pick up somewhere to give to her works as well, since she’s happy to have something from like some new planets as long as it’s not something icky! Tina, in exchange, wouldn’t know what to give him just because there’s not much he needs or wants! It’s more likely she’d make food or bake just for him, especially to get his energies up before or after a workout.

Allura would do stuff for her as well! She’d brush her hair, teach her some stuff about makeup, sometimes gift her some makeup too, stuff like that. Tina appreciates it a lot! In exchange, there’s not much she can get Allura. Pretty stuff, sure, but mostly she shares with her interesting stories, especially coming from her dad’s diary.

Val would get Nico necklaces, that go with his aesthetic of course. Nico would get Val bracelets, since he loves them!

10. Forehead kisses or bunny kisses?
