if you had to throw a birthday party for some of your f/os on their respective birthdays, what would the parties be like?

Anon yuore feeding me soo well I'm grabbing you so gently like a small creature and appreciating you rn. ANYWAYS (under cut as usual)

Hmm ok well. I think truthfully alot of my f/os would have very complicated feelings abt their birthdays/being celebrated and also I think some of them just dont know their birthday even but oh my God. The ideas are still so so cutes bc I LOVE ALL MY F/OS!! ANS THEY ARE ALL PRECIOUS TO ME AND DESERVE GOOD THINGS!! (<-many of them are actually not good people at all. But thatsok they're all good to Me thats what counts ♡(JOKE))

God ok. I cant imagine literally ANY of my f/os wanting big parties with lots of people like maybe lucien or alfred or toshi would tolerate it?? Actually a huge bday party for lucien would be so funny. Yeah I'm putting up the fantasy equivalent of obnoxious bday decorations in the murder cult hideout. No he'd tolerate it at best and attempt to murder me at worse itd be sooo funny OK ANYWAYS!!

Omg this is a little tough ok.,,. Hmm. Ok I wanna Give Moreaus old goofy as a nice party maybe just a small thing... I'd be stubborn enough to annoy his siblings into complying with the idea so it'd be more of just a lettle #problematic family get-together out in the woods by the village or perhaps in the Lady's castle (if she is.feeling tolerant of manthings at the time)... baking his silly fish ass a cake and giving him homemade gifts and guilting the lords into being real niceys to him yaaaaay♡♡♡ (miranda isnt invited tho shes been ex communicated FOREVER. Sorry that's just how it has to be ♡)

Ohhh yknow what. Throwing a (found) family get together bday party for Frank would be so good too but it'd also be so awful and ridiculous. It would have to happen somewhere secluded bc shit is ALWAYS happening to this man when hes just in public. Always. And of COURSE I'd invite his besties but also his Worsties (the defenders) and perhaps maybe he'd end up having a fist fight with his blind rival at his own birthday party. But that's ok! It happens! Noo but it'd be a fairly nice event overall methinks and despite what he might say I know Frank would be thankful to have so many people give enough of a shit abt him to happily spend a day hanging out with him and appreciating him being alive (despite everything)

These are.kind of so nothing but this post is already so long GAH!! Anyways my f/os are all VERY different and honestly i.could very meticulously ramble abt what I would do for their bdays but all that's insane behavior. And also I'm so shys. And also I think most of them would value the effort and time put in rather than monetary value or dramatics but also maybe a little dramatics is appreciated to show just how much they're really cared for. Y'know. Thank you and God bless

#ask #anonymous #catch me going ludicrous mode on these damn f/os asks.LISTEN!! I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS N OPINIONS BUT I CANT WRITE IT ALL IT MAKES ME SICK!!#anyways thaank you for the ask im having so much fun ♡♡♡ *coughing gagging and heaving

6, 8, & 13 ~ rebeccaselfships

hiii i definitely didnt forget i reblogged this ask game entirely hahaha

talk about any special/memorable moments you had with your F/O(s) this year! Which stood out to you the most?

i'd say probably the BIGGEST moment so far was my engagement to jes... the wedding to whom i still have not planned not because i started getting executive dysfunction for directly after finishing the playlist and before drawing any wedding art hey let's just say we're enjoying our engagement ok? also. also the jes letter that one anon sent me. i think about that like 2x a day probably. there were a lot of special moments though!!

in which ways did your F/O(s)/selfshipping help you this year?

selfshipping has helped me SOOO much since i started in that it's basically tricking ur brain into self love i mean think abt it... these little guys we love so much, everything we imagine them saying to us and doing for us and all the love we imagine them giving us is coming from us... and also at least in my experience, so many of the characters i love so deeply i love because there is something in them (and it can be either a talent or a shortcoming) that i see reflecting myself, self recognition through the other yadda yadda you know. and also being in the community in general has helped me reach out to people thru a common interest i would neeeever have had the social skill to talk to otherwise, which is nice :-) and i love learning about other ppls f/os even (especially!!!) when theyre from smth i have NO clue about so thats nice. but a specific moment i think is when i developed my lil crush and decided to f/o eddie when i was sick/quarantining with covid. isolating like that was actually a huge toll on my mental health, i'm a person who loves solitude and privacy in large amounts but forced solitude is really something else. WAY too much time alone with my thoughts, not being able to really do anything but watch youtube videos and draw to take my mind off it, not to mention i was in a pretty big fight with my irl bestie at the time and that was... not great for my mind to keep going back to while isolated in my room. i really do think the 2 people that got me through it were my sister (who kept me company digitally from the living room the entire time!!) and eds.

if you’ve had any F/O(s) for longer a year, did you find out anything new and surprising about them this year? Did this change your relationship change in any way?

hmmm probably cliffie is the first example that comes to mind, there was so much character development in the past ... 2 seasons i think? that came out this past year. we learned so much more abt how his mind works and his insecurities and i think it only made me love him more. poor guy is so flawed but hes trying soo hard and he loves his family soooo much and he wants to fix what hes done :( love him.

ty so much for sending rebecca!!!! i hope you had a good new year's with mirko and hawks and umbreon!!! feel free to send me anything u got to do to celebrate if you want! :o)

end of the year ask game!! send anything u want. send unrelated things. send f/o gush. send memes. send me YOUR answers to prompts idc.

💫 i dont have any specific ideas, go ham! i love seeing you post abt your f/os, your posts make my dashboard a bit of a happier place to scroll :]

send me a 💫 and I’ll tell you something about my f/o’s source or f/o’s character! Feel free to specify what f/o you want to learn abt

Aww thank you! That's really sweet of you! :> <3

I think I shall talk about Sephiroth because it only seems right when I spoke about Ghirahim last night~ It's difficult to find a place to start with him so ghfdkjg mind if I ramble? FFVII is A Game Alright.

(cat that points at gay people ^)

Mr Catboy over here is the main overarching villain of Final Fantasy VII, alongside others like Rufus and Hojo but Sephiroth is the one with the biggest threat level out of all of them bc he MIGHT have just summoned a giant meteor to crash into earth because he thinks he's the child of a god and so the earth belongs to him. Y'know, a usual Tuesday.

I will always lovingly call him the original Sans Undertale due to how damn popular he is. I remember when I was looking into him after my brain latched onto him like a limpet and I looking into the camera like in the office at how many pieces of media he'd wiggled his ass into (only a certain few were relevant to his story thank god ghdfkjgfd)

It took me reading the wiki, watching two lore videos, and finally a playthrough of the Remake (shoutout to Chip and Ironicus at ChipCheezumsLPs for that! @/susurrationofthewind pointed me their way) to understand what the HELL the plot of the game was. It's not exactly difficult to understand, it's just a lot of info that proves my view FFVII was a little too ambitious for its own good when it first came out. Plus all this info was taking into account the other games that were released after FFVII to ride off the popularity OF FFVII so like. Please........

As for why Sephiroth is a nasty little catboy, he wasn't always like that, surprisingly. His parents were shitheads who I'd murder who thought 'hey! what if we experimented on our baby with the DNA of this alien? that won't lead to anything bad I'm sure!' (cut to Sephiroth burning down Nibelheim, Cloud's hometown, because he grew up thinking Jenova (the alien) was his actual mother and so believing the earth belongs to him, and had a VERY bad mental snap after seeing a bunch of dead experiments that were just like him.)

He then spends most of FFVII mocking Cloud, calling him a puppet and whatnot, and does succeed in becoming a god at the end of the day. I'll have to wait 200 years to see Safer Sephiroth, his final boss forme in the Remake of FVII but bro........ the angel aesthetic just sings to me. I can't believe I ignored this guy for so long when he Was Right There as one big boy

He's the type of villain who gets like, 5 minutes of screentime and thats it. So he barely has a character other than Evil (excluding bonus scenes from Crisis Core, a prequel to FFVII, all this info is about FFVII only as I am a bit meh with CC) but tbh I don't really mind! Especially since we see more of him in the Remake (technically, if the Remake was a 1:1 remake, Sephiroth shouldn't have appeared at all). So it means I can make his character however I want for my selfship and I refuse to be stopped. My gay catboy now >:3c

#ask #throw yourself into the unknown with pace and a fury defiant #ff #ffvii #fo #i had to skip a lot of info but this is basically it ghdkjgd #sephiroth just wants to be evil like yes king i love you ❤

Selfship Con 2020: End!

Thank you all so, so much for making this thing come alive and thrive. It warmed my heart to see people come together and support one another. It reminded me of what I love so much about this community. Thank you.

I would personally like to thank @scroogesspouse @selfship-loving and @perseverancex-self-shipping for your help with this con. Without you it might not have worked out the way it did. I appreciate each and every single one of you for what you did.

And finally, lets close this year’s con with a Q&A from the wonderful @coulromantism or better known as Simon to many of you out there. Simon has been here since 2016 and that to me is really special. He’s seen this community grow and become what it is, so lets hear what he has to say as a longtime member!

Mod: So, how long have you seen selfshipping for?

Simon: well, i've been selfshipping for my whole life basically!! going as far back as i can remember, i've always had crushes on characters and imagined myself with them. i started selfshipping online when i was around 10, on deviantart, but i wasn't in the community until i found it on tumblr, in early 2017 :o)

Mod: THAT'S REALLY GREAT. I'm glad that you've felt comfortable with it and enjoy yourself.Who was your first F/O ?

Simon: tysm!! ^_^ tbh i can't really remember who my very first f/o was, since i began selfshipping so long ago.... one of the earliest that i can remember is ragetti, from pirates of the caribbean, when i was maybe 8 or so? my first public selfship (on deviantart!) was with slenderman, and then my first f/o when i joined the community on tumblr was freddy krueger!

Mod: Good choices over all!! So what was it like for you when you first started in the community? What made you wanna join and stay?

Simon: my first introduction to the community was a blog for general selfship positivity and community stuff called @selfshiplove if i remember correctly! i was so excited to find other people who selfshipped like me, and i'd send them tons of anon asks, until i eventually made my own blog and joined servers and stuff. i mean, prior to that, i was basically thinking about my f/os all the time, but i had no one to talk to about it. so of course when i found the community i had to join it haha. being able to finally share such a big part of yourself with other people, it's sort of a life-changing experience!! and i loved listening to other talk about their f/os and selfships, as well. i made friends, and of course that made me want to stay in the community even more ^^

Mod: Your experience sounds pretty positive!What do you suggest for people that are afraid to be open about self shipping or just about joining us in general??

Simon: i feel very happy and lucky to have found the community the way i did ^_^ i know thats a little cliché, but tbh, just try to enjoy yourself, and focus on nothing but that!! i see a lot of selfshippers (not just new selfshippers tbh!!) worry about so many things: that their content won't be good enough, that their f/os are weird, that their gush posts are unnecessary, that they'll be judged for their selfships or the way they selfship.... and those things hold them back. but know that none of them are worth worrying about!!! ik that ignoring such anxieties is easier said than done, but i reallly encourage you to actually put yourself out there; make those "unnecessary" gushing posts, talk about your unconventional f/os, post your content even if youre not 100% confident about it (ofc, you dont have to push urself too much!).... even if it's a slow process, little by little. you'll realise that judgement, disapproval for these things will never come to you. tldr, there are no rules to selfshipping, no "standards" you have to meet; you're always good enough, your content is always good enough; nothing about you, your faves, or your selfships is worth being ashamed about, ever. don't be scared to put urself out there: ik selfshipping is an incredibly personal experience, so you're likely to put up more barriers, bcus talking abt this stuff feeld vulnerable; but i promise that in this community, despite its faults, you will be met with overwhelming love and support. some less general advice for new selfshippers would be to find other selfshippers who have f/os from the same source as you, since it'll be easier for you to engage & interact w each other's content that way. you'll be able to find community within community, and hopefully that'll also help you feel better about selfshipping & becoming more open about it. i really hope that was helpful!!! :o)

Mod: I really like the way you put this. I think this is something a lot of people need to hear.In what ways has the community changed from back then?

Simon: well, i don't remember everything abt what the community used to be like, but i think it grew a LOT, in size, i mean. i feel like the selfship community on tumblr used to be pretty small, but now theres like, thousands of us!!! maybe thats anecdotal, but i feel like selfship content in general gets more attention/notes than it used to, and there are more "popular" blogs now. i also feel like theres more of a sense of community than there used to be; at least thats my impression. not that there wasnt one before!!! but now, we have so many more general blogs for prompts, quotes, promos, art.... we have events, takeovers (thx to people like u!!!).... we adress the issues within the community.... its really cool to see this community start thriving so much over the years!!! ^_^

Mod: How does selfshipping effect your life in general outside of Tumblr?

Simon: ofc np!!! ^_^ well, since selfshipping is smth that i think about a LOT, it has a big effect on my life, obvs!!! id say the biggest thing is trying to make my faves proud, impressed, that sort of stuff. i personally don't always have a lot of drive in life, if that makes sense? and its nice to have something that motivates me to work, improve myself, that sort of stuff, and it keeps me going during tough times as well. and in general it just makes me very happy n it completes me. so thats why selfshipping is very important to me :o)

Thank you so much to Simon for this interview about what he enjoys the most about the community and also to all of you for making it so great.

Stay tuned for the next event <3

ooghdhf hi I just saw ur posts abt F/Os n may I just- 🤝 🤝 very rad that Eric n Lawrence r both our F/Os! i would love 2 hear yr favorite things Eric n Lawrence do for you on quiet days, when yr feelin bad, + to surprise u (or just for like a date if yr not big on surprises) !!

kjdfkds thank u so much omg,, mood kinda carried over into today so it's nice to just talk abt them for a bit!!

eric:

⦁ on bad days eric doesn't try to make me explain anything, and actually stays pretty quiet himself, and the biggest theme in his approach is physical affection,, I hardly ever have 2 ask him to do anything bc he just Knows what I want most times. I'm never rly ready to talk abt anything right out the gate n he understands that, so he kinda just lets me lay on him bc it makes me feel better 2 be so close. esp if I'm crying bc I don't rly like ppl to see/hear me do it, but I feel safe around him so. compromise

⦁ mostly I just stay close 2 him n he lets me bc in all actuality it helps both of us (pressure stims!!!), and he listens when I finally feel like I can talk about why I'm upset. n that means the entire world to me <3

⦁ quiet days r the ones where we don't have anywhere to be, anything to do, or any pressing matters of any kind rly. depending on how eric's feeling that day, I like to make a lil pillow fort in the living room w our blankets n we just watch movies/tv/maybe even play games like uno just cause it's about keeping each other company, sharing space n just relaxing. eventually tho eric ends up w his head in my lap n I know he's gonna be asleep real soon after that lol

⦁ eric's surprises mostly consist of lil things like "I saw this and thought of u" and sometimes he's a lil shy abt it but he doesn't have 2 be 'cause I'm always like!!! babe!!! that's so fucking sweet I love it!!! (sometimes it can be smth like. a cool rock. and I will b just as delighted bc it made him think of Me)

⦁ Specifically Tho fave lil gift was actually smth he ordered. so like we bond a lot over shared stims n whatnot n he knows I like those chew necklaces so he got me this lil teal pendant but didn't say anything til he got it and he was just like "it's like my spinner ring, do u like it??" and I was just. 🥺 of course I do!!!!

⦁ we don't typically go out on a lot of dates (social interaction can b rly difficult for me too,,) but when we do it's always at some sort of lil diner place! there's no real stress to dress up or anything n it's a low energy sort of environment (depending on the time), so it's rly just a nice lil outing. I always feel safer in places like that n its good to not be surrounded by a bunch of people/overwhelmed by a bunch of noise!!

lawrence:

⦁ the most important thing lawrence does when things r shitty is he just... holds me. my favourite is when I can lay my head on his chest n he'll rest his cheek on th top of my head, i'll have an arm around his middle and one of his hands will curl around my forearm, n with his other hand he plays w my hair. he doesn't make me talk if I don't want 2, n honestly usually I don't at first, so he'll either just sit w me on the couch like that or he'll tell me abt his day to help get my mind off things.

⦁ sometimes he reads 2 me just bc he knows I like hearing it and bc he knows it can be a positive distraction. his voice gets all soft n his words are slower but not too slow, a good enough pace fr me to follow along w/out having to try too hard. depending on how bad I feel he sometimes does like various inflections n voices n shit to make me laugh!! he's a fucking dork (affectionate)

⦁ quiet days are ones where we might both be doin our own thing, but we're always sharing space in some way. like he can be reading on the couch and I'll be sitting on the floor writing/scrollin thru my phone/etc., but we're still together. we might both end up on the couch together while lawrence does crosswords (I love helpin him w em) n I'm readin smth else, but what matters is we're together n nearby!!

⦁ when it comes to surprises lawrence is honestly very similar to eric!! smth we do a lot b4 bed if he's not too tired from work/it's not too late is he just kinda lets me. infodump a lil bc even if he doesn't rly understand, he likes hearing/seeing me get excited abt stuff! so like lawrence Remembers stuff he hears me talk abt so if he's out n about n sees smth he thinks I'd like he'll come home n be like "I got u smth!!" n Every Single Time I'm just like 🥺🥺 is for me???

⦁ favourite thing he got me tho is this lil worry stone made from rhodonite!! fits in the palm of my hand n he was just like "u talk abt gems a lot n u fidget with things so I thought this would be a good thing for u!" like omg,,, baby I Love U

#thank u thank u!!!#feelin a lil bit better now but I still love 2 talk abt them and don't get to often #f/os #asks

hfdjghkjdfhkg ok so I’m gonna answer the rest of that ask list I rb’ed earlier bc a lot of those questions made me uwu super hard so here we go

to literally no one’s surprise these questions are abt Akira hdkghkj

Aborted Declaration of Love: How long did it take for you to finally confess to your F/O? How did it go? Were there several attempts, or was it just The One?

Knowing me, my feelings will get so out of control that I end up confessing to him about a month after realizing my feelings. We’ve been friends for a couple years, so he can tell that something’s up but won’t push for me to say unless he can tell that whatever I’m hiding could put me or anyone in danger.

I kept putting it off, saying I’ll “do it eventually”, but it isn’t until Akira goes through the interrogation that I realize…I have to tell him. Despite how him being “killed” was part of the plan, what if he didn’t really make it?

It took…a few attempts to get the message across, admittedly. It isn’t until everyone else left Leblanc after Sae brings him back that I tell him. I couldn’t stop stuttering and fidgeting, but once Akira understands what I’m trying to say, he smiles and explains that he’s felt the same for…a while. He won’t admit how long exactly, but Ryuji and the others will tell me it’s been at least a year and a half since he first confided in them about his feelings for me.

Accidental Hand Hold: When did you first hold hands with your F/O?

The very first time was when we were still friends, and during one hangout with him, the subway suddenly became super crowded. He grabbed my hand, explaining that he doesn’t wanna lose me in the crowd. (I already went off abt this scenario though hgkdjfg)

The first time we hold hands as a couple, however, felt much different than when we were just friends. It was only a few days into dating, and he initially held my hand very loosely, like how he would when we were friends. But after a few moments, he’ll carefully squeeze my hand, grazing his thumb along my skin. He wouldn’t look at me, but it was hard to deny the pink on his cheeks.

After-Action Patch-Up: How does your F/O react when they see you got hurt? How do they tend to your injury?

In the Metaverse, he isn’t too concerned. He’s got all kinds of medicine that instantly heals his teammates, so he’ll use whatever is needed until I’m better.

In the real world, though, he’ll get angry, but won’t express his emotions any further than a scowl. The one time, the one time he doesn’t come with me, and I end up getting hurt with no way to instantly fix it or track down the culprit? He wants to put the blame on himself and come with me wherever I go now, but won’t admit these feelings until later. He knows and respects my desire for privacy, however, but…he can’t help but feel a little overprotective in the moment.

Akira will quietly tend to where I’m hurt, asking every now and then if I got a good look at whoever did this to me. Did I hear any names, did they have anyone else with them, etc. Whether I can give any good answers or not, he’ll still comfort me, and holds me a little more than usual for the rest of the night.

Almost Kiss: What was your first kiss with your F/O like?

It was about a few weeks into us dating, and after our weekly date, he’ll take me to Leblanc under the excuse that he “wanted to surprise me with something”. Turns out, he’d been working on making a special dessert, with the help of Sojiro, and wanted me to be the first to try it. Unsurprisingly, it tasted amazing, and after expressing how sweet it was, Akira smiled and said, “Not as sweet as you.”

He watched as I laughed, before asking rather bluntly, “Hey…can I kiss you?”

It took me a moment to register what he said, and when I did, he tried not to laugh at how red I suddenly turned. “…Yea.”

The kiss didn’t exactly feel like “fireworks were going off” or anything like that. It was…quiet, but more than peaceful and calming. Akira tasted like coffee, unsurprisingly. Without pulling away very far, he said I tasted like the dessert I’d just finished eating, and that yes, it was sweet after all.

Beautiful Dreamer: Who’s usually the first to fall asleep while the other stares and admires?

Absolutely me. Akira can fall asleep within minutes, but it can take me at least an hour to get to sleep. In the meantime, though, I got something nice to look at~

Bodyguard Crush: How does your F/O make you feel safe?

In the Metaverse, he tends to use himself as a shield if he feels I’ll be too hurt by any enemies. He knows I hate when he does that, but he still does it.

In the real world, he’ll usually hold my hand as a way of comforting me and making sure my anxiety doesn’t randomly spike like it loves to do. In any confrontation, he either gets in front of me (human shield again smh) or escorts me away.

Grow Old With Me: How long have you and your F/O been together?

A couple months, give or take. It’s only been so short because 1) I only recently realized my feelings for him, and 2) I change f/os a lot but…it feels different with him, so I’m hoping it lasts a lot longer.

Laugh Of Love: What are some things your F/O does to make you laugh?

Memes. That, or his snarky comments that piss his friends off or stupid puns that physically hurt.

Love Epiphany: When and how did you realize you loved your F/O? When and how did they realize they loved you?

For me, it just sort of came out of nowhere a few months ago. I looked at someone that I’ve known for years, and thought about all the things he’s done, both for me and everyone he cares about, and the next thing I knew…I was in love.

Akira realized much sooner, but it hit just as hard. About half a year into being friends with me, he noticed how much I’d change when I’m around him. I become much more open and happy, whereas I’d usually be extremely quiet and reserved. It didn’t help when he learned about my past relationships and realizing that, despite the trauma I was put through, I was still willing to push through and be happy again.

It then wasn’t until he was subconsciously thinking about how he wanted to be the guy that’ll treat me right that he realized his feelings.

Marry For Love: Are you and your F/O married? If so, how was the wedding like? If you aren’t, do you plan on getting married, and if so, how would you like it to be like?

We’re not married, and…honestly I don’t know if I want to be? Not that I have non-committal issues or anything, but it just feels…overrated? Too expected of me?

However, I’m not against the idea, so if we did get married, we’d definitely just want to keep the wedding amongst a small group of our loved ones. It wouldn’t be too fancy or anything, and we’d have the actual wedding at a nearby park before having the reception at Leblanc.

Post-Kiss Catatonia: How did you and your F/O react to your first kiss together?

I’ve done this every time I have a first kiss with someone so I’ll say it here: I get weak in the knees and almost collapse. Thankfully, Akira and I were already sitting at the counter of Leblanc when we first kissed, but I’m definitely shaking and flushing.

Akira was initially worried that maybe he pushed things too fast for me, but after some reassurance, he’ll start to feel better, knowing that it’s just intense jitters from having a first kiss. Later that night, though, after returning from taking me home, he’ll have some trouble sleeping that night, constantly touching his lips and reliving that moment.

Sickeningly Sweethearts: Do you and your F/O engage in PDA? If yes, how do the surrounding people react?

For the most part, he wants to keep it to a minimum. Mostly just holding hands, with maybe some holding from the side, and a kiss here and there. He doesn’t want to garner a lot of attention if he can avoid it.

Around friends, though? He’s a bit less reserved, prompting to tuck his face in my shoulder/neck if he isn’t up for talking much, and asking for a kiss every few minutes. He’ll try to casually cuddle, to which Ryuji and Futaba usually tease him for “being so clingy with me”. He always gives some cheeky comment in response.

Zip Me Up: Does your F/O help you get dressed for the day? Do you help them?

Me getting dressed is one of the times Akira will turn the other way. We both know of my dysphoria, and as much as he wants to help and compliment me the whole time, he knows that bringing attention could just make it worse. Though he’ll help in the blink of an eye if I ask for assistance.

Akira typically doesn’t need help getting dressed, but moreso asks how anything looks on him. He knows I’ll be upfront on what I think though honestly I’m kinda biased but isn’t that a given with your boyfriend? cmon

Self Ship Interview

aight so @ultradumpsterwolf invited me to do this so here we go!!

also I know the “keep reading” break doesn’t work half the time, Idk how to fix it, so I’m sorry abt that :( blacklist “long post” if you’d like

Introduce yourselves. Who are you? What do you like to do?

Matthew: “Hi, I’m Matthew. You can call me Matt if you want, I’m fine with either. I like to draw, write, and play video games. I also like to do embroidery!”

Akira: “Hello. I’m Akira Kurusu, leader of the Phantom Thieves. I’m also known as Ren Amamiya. I like to cook and garden, and I also do a bit of woodworking and felting on the side.”

How was your first meeting like?

Matthew: “Ah, well...I first saw him between classes when we were still in school. I’d just transferred there, so I wasn’t aware of the rumors about him, but...either way, I was still too nervous to approach him.”

Matthew: “I guess I wasn’t being very subtle about keeping an eye on him - n-not that I was stalking him or something like that! I was just...really bad about not staring at him when I got the chance.”

Akira: “If it means anything, I consider it a compliment now when he stares at me.”

Matthew: “Shut up.”

Akira: “Anyway, I noticed Matt’s interest in me, but just assumed he must’ve heard the rumors and was probably wondering if they were true. Apparently Ryuji had a problem with him staring, though, and dragged me into practically cornering him into talking. I...still feel bad about that.”

Matthew: “It’s alright, I don’t blame you for that...interesting first meeting. Ryuji was just looking out for you.”

Akira: “As he said, it was just a case of being too shy to introduce himself. I guess Ryuji could tell how lonely Matt was, since they were in the same class, so he started inviting him to hangouts, and everything else took off from there.”

How did you get together? Who confessed first?

(We both blush at the memory.)

Akira: “...Do you wanna tell them?”

Matthew: “Yea, yea, it’s fine, I got this.”

Matthew: “For context, I used to crush on him when we first met, but I lost it after a few months because I figured he was straight.”

Matthew: “Anyway...after we were both out of school, we ended up getting an apartment together back in June last year. We were just friends at the time, but considering all that we did together, everyone thought we were dating way before we actually started to do so.”

Akira: “I’ll admit, that was...mostly my fault.”

Matthew: “I could tell my relationship with Akira was...definitely not just platonic, but I didn’t wanna say anything in case that maybe I was reading the situation wrong. Maybe he just really trusted me enough to do certain things that friends wouldn’t normally do. I didn’t know, but I didn’t judge either.”

(Akira’s blushing worsens.)

Akira: “You never told me you could tell it wasn’t just platonic.”

Matthew: “I didn’t wanna embarrass you, babe! I used to have friends that would do similar stuff, so it wasn’t like this was new to me.”

Matthew: “Anyway, it got to a point back in...early January, I believe, where my feelings about him basically came back in full force. I ended up getting so stressed about it that one night I...kinda had a breakdown? I don’t remember this part very well...”

Akira: “I’ll take it from here, then.”

Akira: “Matt had been extremely on edge lately, so when he clammed up and almost had a panic attack when we got back home after another hangout, I wasn’t too surprised. It wasn’t until he started spouting his confession at damn near the speed of light that everything suddenly made sense. I let him get everything out, and when I told him I felt the same, he almost fainted on me.”

Matthew: “I’m never very good with this sort of thing...”

Akira: “You did the best you could. Aside from nearly panicking and fainting, I thought it was kinda cute. You were so fidgety and red, and you would look at everything but me and-”

Matthew: “That’s enough, next question!”

What are your thoughts on PDA?

Akira: “I’m only okay with smaller gestures. I’ve already had my time of being stared at, so I’d like to avoid that now.”

Matthew: “Same here. I don’t really like to kiss in front of other people, so we’ll usually just hold hands, or we’ll hold the other’s arm if they’re busy with something.”

Akira: “The closest we’ll get in public is when we’re on the train, which is just a given, no matter if we’re dating or not.”

Matthew: “Wait, you don’t wanna tell them about the secret kisses?”

(Akira blushes, frowning.)

Akira: “Does it even count as PDA if I drag you to a secluded spot to do it?”

Matthew: “Heh, I guess not, but I thought it’d at least be worth mentioning~”

Akira: “...Next question, please, before he kills me.”

How do you show your affection towards each other/what are your love languages?

Matthew: “Mostly quality time and physical touch. I’m...still working on being verbally intimate, so I try to show most of my affection physically.”

Akira: “He’s got a thing for my hair. Petting it, burying his face in it, anything. That and hiding in my chest.”

Matthew: “You say that as if I’m ashamed of it.”

Akira: “He also likes to make out a lot.”

Matthew: “As if you don’t enjoy it just as much!”

(Akira laughs.)

Akira: “Mine would also be physical touch, but I also enjoy giving gifts and words of affirmation. Anything that I think Matt would like, I get it for him.”

Matthew: “He knows he can basically kill me when he starts talking sweet.”

Akira: “That’s true, yes.”

Matthew: “I know you also really like acts of service too. When I help in the kitchen, or do little things that I know you wouldn’t be able to get done after work or your Phantom Thief business. You also really like it when I help with any injuries of yours.”

(Akira blushes, but smiles.)

Akira: “...I guess you’re right.”

Who’s more introverted and who’s more extroverted?

Matthew: “Akira’s more extroverted, but not by much.”

Akira: “I can handle strangers longer than Matt, but only by an hour or so. We’re both able to be around friends for a while, and thankfully they’re more understanding when we need to go home to recharge.”

Matthew: “People are exhausting, but...it’s different, with Akira.”

Who’s the big spoon and who’s the little spoon?

Akira: “I’m mostly the big spoon, if Matt can stay in one position in his sleep for more than five minutes, that is. I’m used to it.”

Matthew: “I’m only the big spoon when we’re facing each other for a while. Sometimes I wake up because Akira’s got me in what I call an “octopus hug” with his face buried in my neck.”

(Akira flushes, suddenly wide-eyed.)

Akira: “I thought you always slept through those!”

(Matthew laughs, leaning his head on Akira’s shoulder.)

Matthew: “You always look so comfortable! I’d feel horrible if I ever made you move, especially with how little sleep you tend to get.”

(Akira pouts, but lays his head on Matthew’s regardless.)

What do you like doing together the most?

Matthew: “For the most part, we actually just tend to do our own thing in the presence of the other. I watch videos while Akira does his woodworking, or he plays video games while I embroider. That kind of stuff.”

Akira: “I think the main two things we like to do together though is cooking and shopping. Even if Matt’s not a professional chef, he always wants to help with making dinner, and we always have to stop by a store we didn’t plan on visiting when we go out for groceries. I can’t blame him - some of those thrift stores have the most interesting finds.”

Matthew: “Like that super fat frog plush I found?”

Akira: “Precisely.”

Tell us a fun fact about the other!

Matthew: “Akira always feels like he has to dress up, even if we’re not leaving the house. I think it’s got something to do with that “extra gene” us Virgos have.”

Akira: “Matt will hold onto anything that makes him happy in the slightest. Not to a point that he’s a hoarder, but...let’s just say there’s no such thing as a “theme” in our apartment.”

Tag other selfshippers and their f/os.

I actually don’t like to tag others in case they don’t wanna do it, so to anyone that sees this and wants to try it out, go ahead!
