Hi, sorry to bother you. These past few days I’ve felt so disconnected from J and Eddie. Daydreaming almost doesn’t help me anymore. I miss them both, especially J, so so badly. Do you have any tips on ways to feel more connected with them? 🥺 Please and thank you. Have a good day💜

Hi dear anon🥺💕 You aren't bothering me at all, you are never a bother. I'm always happy to help when I can. First of all, I totally understand how you feel. It's the same for me, to be honest. And it sucks and hurts a lot.

But I want you to know that J and Eddie love you so so much and they will never ever, under any circumstances leave you. Okay? They miss you too and they want to be together with you❤️

As for tips, I'm listing a few things I can think of right now that I'm doing myself. Also, if you want to talk or gush about them, my ask box and DMs are always open. I love hearing the thoughts of others💜 Anyway, I digress.

First, I recommend you watch a few scenes of J and Eddie. Personally, it helps me to hear their voices and just see them. There's a compilation on YouTube with all of J's scenes that I often watch or just play in the background to hear his voice.

Second, if you are on Tumblr more often or other platforms like AO3, then you could read x reader fics. There are many very good writers for J and Eddie here and there are good pieces for almost every scenario. To name one person, if you are looking for an in character and softer J, then I recommend fics by @ajokeformur-ray Erika is an amazing writer and a sweetheart🥺 She also writes wonderful fics for Eddie on her other blog @ghosttownwherenoonegoes

Third, especially for Eddie, it works for me when I hear music and certain songs that make me think of my f/os. It can be songs that are related to them in canon, like for Eddie it's Master of Puppets by Metallica. But it can be any other song that makes you think of them and gives you good feelings. Maybe for J, you could listen to The Dark Knight soundtrack. I do that a lot.

Fourth, if you can, you could get comfort items for your f/os. That can be anything that makes you think of them. Clothes, jewelry, stuffed animals, books, etc. You can try what works best for you. It's probably a little harder for J than for Eddie, but I personally wear rings for J and have a pillow that I sometimes hug for physical comfort. I also have their shirts that I wear sometimes. But it can also be something simple like using their signature colors. Anything that makes you think of them is good.

Fifth, you can create things for your f/os yourself. You could write down your daydreams. You could try to draw them, maybe even together with you. You could print out pictures of them and make collages or put them on your wall so you can see them and have them near you. You could start and design a journal or scrapbook. There are no limits to your creativity.

Sixth, you could try to specifically take time for yourself that you spend with your f/os. You could do things that you would do together with them. Like little dates. For Eddie, maybe you could go for walks, listen to music or read Lord of the Rings with him. Just things that are fun for both of you. I personally also like to imagine tinkering together with J. It's fun to imagine how different f/os would act and react in different situations.

These are the things I could think of right now. I hope that there is something that helps you. And I want you to know that if you have any more questions or just want to talk or gush, you can always talk to me💜 I don't bite, hehe🤭💕 And you never bother me! Again, J and Eddie love you so much. Both in their own special way. They adore you and they are so happy and grateful to have you in their lives🥺❤️ Take good care of yourself, dear anon🫂💜

Hiya there Acacia~! Saw the Hallmark Movie AU post thing and like I said earlier, it looks like fun and seems like it'd be pretty funny. I don't really watch Hallmark but I hear that their movies are pretty goofy and I often get a chuckle listening to or reading commentary about them. Anyways...

So for the “If it was a Hallmark movie” game that you're doing, do you think you'd be willing to give it a try with Morgen x Josele? 👉👈 I'd love to see you interpret/play with my ship.

If you're not so sure about Morgsele though, how about a Hallmark Movie AU for Mitsuri x Obanai? 💖

Hi Erika! Thank you so much for the ask and for reblogging my game! I really appreciate it. 😊 I was really happy to see your tags that it looked fun and hilarious since that's definitely what was I was going for when I made it up. I hope you enjoy it! 🥰

I'm not a big fan of Hallmark Movies myself, honestly. I usually don't enjoy romance too much just as a general rule, and I especially find Hallmark-Style Rom Coms to be too soppy, goofy, and/or predictable. That said, I can appreciate that they are usually feel good and wholesome, but that's generally not enough to make it through the whole film without chuckling to myself at how unrealistic it is. My mom and sister, however, absolutely love Hallmark Movies and have whole marathons of them, but I have a reputation for being the cynical family member who watches 2 minutes of the movie and predicts the whole plot... (They don't really let me watch with them anymore unless I promise to be quiet 😅😂).

That said, there have been Hallmark Movies I have genuinely enjoyed but those generally break the mold of the usual tropes. My favorite Hallmark Movie, for instance, is called Christmas With Holly, and it's the story of three brothers who try their best to raise their niece (Holly) and put together a perfect holiday season (Thanksgiving & Christmas specifically) for her after the untimely death of their sister/Holly's mother. It's heartfelt and hilarious in a good/intentional way because these are three single guys who know absolutely nothing about cooking a thanksgiving feast or raising a 6-year-old little girl. 😂 I try to catch that one every year because it's so wholesome and I love the characters and the focus on family relationships rather than the usual romance (the romance really takes a backseat to the brothers sibling relationship with each other and their familial relationship with their niece), but the usual run-of-the-mill Hallmark Rom Coms generally aren't my cup of tea even if I've seen a lot of them thanks to my family...and that's kind of how the game came to be created. 😊

I would love to make up a Hallmark Movie for Morgen x Josele for you! It's very flattering that you'd trust me with your OC, and I hope I've done an okay job. (I know what I've come up with is a little goofy even for a Hallmark movie 😂). I really like Josele, and her and Morgen's relationship is really sweet and adorable--perfect for a Hallmark Movie, I think (A/N: though just between us, I think I prefer her dynamic with Nacht...🤫 That's just a personal preference though. Both ships are great, but I'll admit I imagine them as very separate things in my mind since I don't like love shapes--it's kind of similar to how I think of Finral x Finesse and Langris x Finesse as totally separate things even if they're (arguably?) all kind of connected in the canon, if that makes sense?) Anyway, without further ado, here is a Hallmark Movie AU for Morgen x Josele. I really hope you like it. I'm going to take you up on your offer to do an ObaMitsu one as well, but I'll make that it's own post (and tag you) since this one is kind of long. Also Morgen and Josele deserve their own post, in my opinion. They're great! (Hopefully I'm not totally off the mark with them here 😅). Thanks for the ask! 🥰

Morgsele If It Was A Hallmark Movie...

The Perfect Man: Josele is a somewhat cynical (for a Hallmark movie) journalist who works for the city newspaper, but she is still waiting for her big break as a reporter. She mostly reports on feel good stories and puff pieces like grannies who knit sweaters for cats, bakers who make dog treats for animal shelters, and schools that have toy drives for orphans. While this is all nice and good, Josele can't shake the somewhat cynical (for a Hallmark Movie) notion that most of the time things that seem too good to be true usually are, and she wants the opportunity to do some real journalism work.

She is assigned to write a story about a local doctor, Morgen, who saved an elderly man from getting run over by a vegetable cart during the harvest festival, and quickly learns that he is by all accounts "the perfect man." He helps pediatric burn victims, raises money for the local orphanage, offers to work pro bono for sick children in need, volunteers at a soup kitchen to provide food for the homeless, gives yarn to the grannies who knit the cat sweaters ect. ect. Josele finds it hard to believe that there isn't something wrong with him and mentions this at work where she is then tasked with discovering his dark side and/or deep dark secret and revealing it in an exposé piece for the newspaper. At first, she is sure that he's hiding something and couldn't possibly be that perfect, but as she gets to know him better and starts to fall in love with him in spite of her reservations, she begins to feel very guilty about this and realizes that he truly is a genuinely kind and good person.

Morgen, who was smitten with her from the start, falls in love with her quickly and eventually trusts her enough to reveal the dark secret of his past: that he couldn't save his brother from becoming a delinquent and leader of a local gang of hoodlums who commit as heinous of crimes as allowed in a Hallmark movie such as jaywalking, riding bicycles in the middle of the street, vandalizing flower arrangements, and occasionally stealing candy and purses from little old ladies. Josele must then make the difficult choice of deciding whether to reveal Morgen's secret, but how can she choose between her dream reporting job and her heart?
