Ooh. Please please make more self-inserts. Not only is it fun you have no idea how much it can help you be kind to yourself. Have the hero of the franchise fall in love with you for what you think are your annoying quirks. Have the wisest man in that fictional world, tell others that your are the kindest and the smartest person he has ever met. Have the evil guy fall for you and revoke his evil ways cuz youre just that hot. Allow yourself to be loved by the fictional characters you look up to and in time you may also begin see how wonderful you really are.
wanna put on some lipstick and leave kiss marks all over my f/o’s face. just want him to be a flustered giggly mess <33
In your f/os eyes, nobody compares to you. To them, you are the best thing that's ever happened to them, and they'll always cherish you. You never have to worry about being taken for granted. They'll always remind you of your worth and how much you mean to them.
robot and AI f/o havers imagine your F/O(s) nearly short-circuiting bc you gave them a lil kiss
"Nice characters are boring" to YOU. I love characters who no matter what, will always have genuine love for humanity in their heart. Characters who dance and laugh and sing with sincerity. Characters who believe in others, and are willing to extend a helping hand to people when no one gave them the same luxury. Characters who have gone through so much but believe, no matter what, that humanity and life is something beautiful and worth protecting
in-law f/os that tell you to call them by their first name. or by mom or dad. in-law f/os that ask you if you're staying for dinner. in-law f/os that ask you if you're staying the night. in-law f/os that give you your own key. in-law f/os that tell you to call them if you need anything. in-law f/os that welcome you into their lives easily because they see the way you love their kid and they see the way their kid loves you.
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.
maybe they’re hurt because of a fight (especially if your f/o is a hero or villain 👀), what did they get into a fight over? when they explain it, are they smug and proud of it? or are they embarrassed that they got into a tussle over something so minuscule? did they win or lose?
or is your f/o just really clumsy and got themself hurt in some kind of fall or accident? (imagine the sheepish look they give you when they explain what happened, the light blush coming over their cheeks-)
either way, they look at you with the most loving look in their eyes while you clean their wounds n bandage them up. even if a cut stings or a bruise hurts when you accidentally touch it, this is about the most loved that they’ve felt, and even though they’re in pain, they still feel warm and happy in that moment :]
especially if they have a hard time letting someone else take care of them- the amount of trust they have in you to let you see them hurt and let you take care of them must be huge.
they appreciate it so much, and they won’t let you forget it <3
selfshipping having a proper community is literally the cutest thing ever. literally the love community where we talk about how much we love our guys (gender neutral) and support other peoples love for their guys. how cute is that it's so wholesome 🥰
Casual intimacy with your fictional lover, which can apply to platonic f/os:
Laying on the floor together.
Listening to music/records together.
Long, deep conversations.
Sitting in comfortable silence, holding hands if you like being touched.
Reading aloud to your f/o, or vice versa.
Laying their head in your lap while you stroke their hair.
Creating a self insert (who looks a bit like me) is the best thing I've ever done, as it makes me feel so much better about myself. I can be a person in the world of my fav media? I can have adventures with magic, superpowers or just hang out with my fav characters? And there are characters who like or even love me for who I am? Amazing <3
