idk who needs to hear this but all of your f/os would cheer you on when you want to wear something that you're normally too insecure or self-conscious to wear !!!! they'd give you so many compliments !!!! your romantic f/os ? they'd look at you with heart eyes !!! your familial f/os ?? they'd fight anyone who tries to judge you !!!! your platonic f/os ??? they'll wear the same thing with you so you're not alone if you need/want them to !!!!!
Imagine being "the exception" for your f/o. Being the one who they feel closest to, the one they confide in, you're the one they come to, because they trust you the most. Your f/o puts such loyalty and positive emotional energy into your connection, because you are that special to them. You make them feel loved, heard, accepted. And that is something your f/o will always be thankful for - the opportunity to be themselves by someone who gets it, who gets them.
your f/o loves you sooooo much oh my god. Your f/o is like. actually obsessed with you? it’s peak romance. it’s awesome
nothing feels as amazing as knowing your f/o would be SO into you and knowing you're so into them. like the two of you giggling over how much you love each other. buying/making gifts for each other. doing the most to impress the other because youre so in love and you just want to be with them.
Self-inserts are a form of self-love. What’s a better self-confidence boost than saying “If I were in my favorite series, I would look SO COOL and all my blorbos would be MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME and I would have AWESOME POWERS and I would have the BEST BACKSTORY and the fandom would ADORE ME.”
Friendly reminder that it is COMPLETELY NORMAL to feel extremely attached to/have intense feelings for fictional characters.
The human brain cannot differentiate the feelings and attachments we have to irl people from the feelings and attachments we have to fictional characters. Chemically, the feelings are the exact same
More to the point, if a character you love ever gets hurt or god forbid dies, it is absolutely normal to feel genuine grief and hurt because of it. As far as the chemicals in your brain are concerned, you genuinely just watched your friend/partner/family member get hurt.
your platonic f/o is holding your hands because they are excited to see you. how wouldn't they? they've been thinking about little plans they want to make a reality with you and every minute spent with you is like a treasure to them, having you as their friend must feel like having their own sun!
Interact with this post if you selfship with one or more characters from Transformers and want mutuals who share sources!
oughh quiet pining…..
gazing at you fondly when you’re not paying attention, your hands brushing against each other and their heartbeat going crazy, finally having a moment alone to themself and just thinking of you, blushing and covering their face
they can’t say it, not yet, but…they’re so deeply and completely in love with you
your f/o having a crush on you but they’re the worst at hiding it .. always perking up at the mention of your name , getting you gifts and paying for your food , offering to take trips with you and do things for you , rambling on and on about you with their friends with the sweetest smile and flushed face , always stuck to your side whenever you’re around .. and somehow , it’s obvious to everyone but you ;3
Imagine your F/O just being absolutely lovesick over you. They walk through town and see you everywhere, random things like a snack or a shirt they think you’d like. Somewhere they wanna take you, or a plushie they want to get you as a gift.
Them spacing out during the day, maybe at work, thinking about you. Friends and family members catching them daydreaming and they just respond “Oh! It’s nothing, just got distracted.”
How after the two of you hang out, they look at the place you were sitting and just, ache. That you’re not there anymore. How they try not to look desperate when you text them, thinking that maybe if they wait a minute to open your messages, they won’t have to confront how down BAD they are for you.
Maybe they even swap clothes with you, maybe they take a shirt, or a hoodie or sweater from you, playing it off as a joke or just “something friends do”. But when they get home, it’s wrapped around their favorite pillow, or they wear it around the house sometimes just so they can feel close to you.
Fuck, they really are hung up on you, do they have the courage to actually confess their feelings? Or are they gonna draw it out until they absolutely HAVE to do it.
