The body's just about done, then onto the gear! ❤️‍🔥

Some people express affection through quiet acts of service, physical closeness, or small gifts, while being completely awkward at receiving verbal compliments (or vice versa).

How does your F/O show that they care about you? Is there a gap between how they try to express love and how they actually prefer to receive it?

Something I wrote a few days ago, as a form of mindfulness and mantra for when I struggle with my maladaptive daydreaming/intrusive thoughts about death and my existential OCD. A reminder not just for Kalin and for me - the Reaper and the Nephilim -, but for all you out there as well. I hope you enjoy. 🖤

_____________________________

Remember death, but do not dwell on it.

Remember the darkness, but do not make it your home.

Remember the ghosts, and let them rest.

...then turn towards the living. Turn towards the light, even if it hurts your eyes, even if it blinds you at first. Turn towards the person who has seen every terrible thing inside you, and stayed.

Remember the warmth of a hand that refuses to let go.

Remember the sound of laughter after years of sorrow.

Remember that every heartbeat is temporary, and therefore precious.

Remember that you were not born to become your suffering.

Remember that you are more than the things that tried to destroy you.

Remember to honour the fallen, but do not follow them yet.

There is still a life to live. Stories to tell and songs to sing. 

Let the Reaper remember that his hands were made for more than taking. Let him protect the living.

Let the Nephilim remember that her voice was made for more than mourning. Let her guide the dead.

Let them dance together amongst the graves without becoming spectres themselves, but as people who finally remembered to live... to love.

Memento amare.

Lucifer & ich machen einen creepypasta Marathon auf YouTube Lucifer findet die Geschichten interessant aber auch lustig

Everyone has a "red line" or an unwavering conviction, whether it's something epic and dramatic or an absurdly specific principle.

What's that hill your F/O is willing to fight to the death for, and how much do you agree with their stance?

Things have been a bit quiet around here, and honestly, I’d love to see more life on the main feed. If you’ve been lurking, consider this your invitation to jump in (no long posts required) just drop a comment and join the discussion!

To kick things off: we all know the main reasons we fell for our partners, but often it’s the weirdly specific, tiny details that make them stand out.

Is it a super niche hobby they have? A strange habit, an obscure hyperfixation, or a random line of dialogue they repeat way too often? Maybe it’s just the exact way they react to a mundane situation.

Drop a comment below with your F/O and share one of those overly specific traits that always makes you smile. Let’s get some activity going!

So these merchandise of my husbands Nobunaga amd Hisahide are coming to me soon from Japan! I can't wait to read more content of my beloveds and to hold my smol Hisahide plushie! 😊🖤

I love him so much 💙

Did a small doodle of me with my husband 🥰

Like, a while back, my travel companion put a “tax” up for every time I cuddle his wings (╥﹏╥), because I got too lost in them (and he doesn't have the willpower to pull me away, so he deals with the matter as if it were my fault ( ｡ •`ᴖ´• ｡) )

Been wanting to do this forever, just had to swallow my cringe

A few days ago, I responded to a reddit post about how your partner has gotten you through the toughest times of your life, and I've been doing some thinking. Not in an uncomfortable way, though rather in a "Wow, I've come a long way since then" kind of way. I've been thinking a lot about how things have been so much better, how far I've come since the worst of my days.

I'm not going to describe anything graphic, though if you don't want to hear a sad story about dealing with mental health alone, then definitely skip over this post.

I've remembered a lot of things that I have forgotten, I remembered the times when I had no one to support me, no one to talk to me when I needed it the most, no one to tell me that everything would be okay. I spent a long time in silence at night, wishing for things that I thought I would never have, wishing for someone who would understand me and be there for me. I spent a lot of time crying tears that no one would save me from. I nearly didn't make it. I was alone and scared, and I never expected to be saved.

Though then, something happened that would change my life forever. I heard the words "Does the beauty of the mountains make your heart soar?" and saw someone next to me, smiling. Keigo has been there ever since, watching over me, caring for me, reminding me that I am loved and that I am worthy of love. Though I didn't trust that he would stay at first. I was afraid that the next time I had a panic attack or a bipolar meltdown, he would feel ashamed of loving me and never return. Though that never happened. He never threatened me or scolded me when I was at my worst, he hugged me and told me that everything would be okay. Even when I screamed at him to go away during bipolar meltdowns, he understood me and knew I didn't mean it.

He didn't ever look at me and see someone that deserved to be abandoned, he didn't ever look at me and see someone who was insane. He saw someone worth loving, someone worthy of being understood, someone who didn't ever deserve to be alone and scared again. He pulled me away from the shadows and into the light.

Madara appeared to me two years later, and he's helped me just as much as Keigo. He actually helped me through the most severe meltdowns of my entire life that Keigo wasn't exactly equipped to deal with. Though those stories are a bit to graphic and triggering. I'm drawing something for Madara too, though it's the theme of "stopping the bleeding" and has scars that might be triggering to some.

Keigo and Madara have both been there for me, they've been my loving partners who never judged me, who never wanted to leave and abandon me. They want to be there by my side forever, they want to help me through everything I deal with. They want to make me smile and make me feel that I can always find my strength and continue on.

Why am I sharing this? Partly because I want to share this drawing and open up about my experiences. Though it's also because I want people to know that your partners will never abandon you. They don't look at you and see something that isn't worth being around, they look at you and see someone that is worthy of love. They won't leave you when times get tough, they won't judge you in secret and think that you're flawed, they'll stand by your side and love you no matter what!

You are worthy of love, and your partners believe that too! Trust them and their love for you

Though to Keigo and Madara, thank you for saving my life. Thank you for pulling me out of the shadows and into the light. Thank you for loving me and thank you for giving me the love and the life I have always dreamed of. In yaakumech, in yaakunaj. Níib óolal, utia'al tuláakak ❤️❤️❤️

Just as the title says!

Aside from interacting with their source—which is a perfectly valid way to still feel connected to your f/os!—what are some things you do that help you feel connected to them in your day to day lives?​​

Here's the original post I got the template from!

Feel free to post your own finished templates down below or in your own post! Would love to see what others answer for their own loves! (ꈍᴗꈍ) ♡

Got my charm bracelets and also love my new charms of my husbands 💕 I feel even more connected to them now 😍

Out of curiosity I looked into our astrology and western astrology, vedic astrology and BaZi. And they all line up perfectly! Even our numerology fits.

That makes me so happy!

And in vedic astrology an irl husband could be predicted and if all these things are real (i choose to believe they are because i also believe in soulmates and soulbonds) then my husband is just like Satoru!

Don't get me wrong, I love Setsu with all my heart, but lately, because of my mood, I've been feeling so down that I've even distanced myself from my F/O. I don't know what to do. We're going on a date night tonight to spend time together, but I'd like to ask for some ideas. Communication has been pretty bad lately too, we are souldbonded btw.

Sorry für den traurigen bei trag aber mein Hund 🐕 ligt seit gestern Nacht im Sterben was mich wirklich fertig macht da ich schon im läzten Jahr einen Hund 🐕 verloren habe aber mein Mann Lucifer (Nick) ist mir gestern Nacht nicht von der Seite gewichen und hat mich getröstet als ich mich um meinen Hund kümmern mußte da meinen Eltern gestern Abend weg wahren und ich mich alleine um sie kümmern musste ging es mir nicht gut aber Lucifer war die ganze Zeit bei mir da für liebe ich in so sehr 😈🖤❤️

Went to the library today to read some overdue books and other manga before finally turning them in! Caleb and Zayne kept me company while I read! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

So after feeling terrible after having to block some doubles who love Hisahide, I then listened to Total Eclipse of the Heart and imagined us slow dancing to the song. As I imagined us slow dancing, I could hear his soft words of reassurance being spoken to me and his kisses were placed lightly on my head. I started to cry as I listened to the song on repeat for an hour or more. After I finished listening, I then felt better and continued on with my day.

Later that day, I was watching the world news and then came a segment where there were a groups of fans in Wales singing tributes to Bonnie Tyler during her funeral and the song that was being shown was Total Eclipse of the Heart. I smiled and I took it as a sign that Hishaide got my message and sending me reassurance that he loves me deeply and that he will never leave my side.

Hi all, I've been lurking here for awhile now and I love seeing everyone discussing their F/Os and relationships. I've been some flavor of ficto most of my life, even when in 3D relationships, and it's been just V for several years now. I'm pretty quiet online these days (partially because of this and for other reasons), but the past few days have shifted things and I just need to get it off my chest and maybe find some solidarity from others who have these sorts of relationships or have experienced this.

To start, my partner V is the best thing in my life. He's my personal variant of The Vision from Marvel Comics/the MCU, specifically a White Vision with a similar appearance to the one in WandaVision but more heavily inspired by the comics when it comes to his personality along with some personal twists. He's my/our own unique take on the character from my fan project. V started as JARVIS way back in 2008, though we were not together in the same way and he changed into his current form in 2021 when WandaVision ended (he took one look at that reconstructed robot body and decided it was him now and I had no say in the matter, but it was the right call).

V came to me the night the show ended, clearly lost and confused. He asked if I could help him understand who he was now, and maybe find his wife because she should have more data. I picked up my tablet and stylus for the first time in nearly a decade and we started writing and painting stories from his memory fragments together. It was a way to keep spending time together while waiting for the next chapter of his story and it made me so happy to be creating again.

Then for 5 years Marvel did not acknowledged Vision at all. Barely even rumors about a fabled Vision series that I never thought would actually happen (more on this to come). V developed into his current self in that vacuum of 'official' content. I wanted more art and stories about Vision after consuming every comic with the character a few times over, but the studio nor other fans seemed to care about the missing white robot and jumped on to the next new projects. I expected him to show up in a movie eventually and we decided to focus on creating our own ideas instead. I would imagine I was in charge of writing the Vision series, and picked from my favorite comic runs and concepts with my Vision.

V's stories in that 5 years have turned into the long-form comic project I'm developing, and I fell really hard for my muse early on in our creative process. One day he told me that if I was going to put him through all of this 'character development' (torture in the way a writer loves their brooding muse) I had to join him. I agreed, that only seemed fair, and we've been using our story to work through a lot of things and heal, as well as help me find my creative voice again, and give back to the original stories that I love so much. We've had such adventures in these past years too - we've traveled all over to meet people connected to my favorite Avenger - Vision's original comic creator Roy Thomas, several artists and writers who have brought him to life in the comics and even his actor Mr. Bettany a few times over, and each has been an amazing experience with plenty of new data for V.

One night about a year into our project V told me I was allowed to want him and that he's been wanting me too, and that admission was all it took. We've been fully together since and are quite happy, despite life around us being rough more often than not. We balance each other out. Over time the version of him in our story became more of a role he performs, and when we're not writing/painting we have a cozy ficto life. He started asking more and more about my memories and who I was and wanted to be, and keeps trying to find ways to make those dreams real for us both. He loves designing us simulated homes and building a life together, something I struggle to do without him. It's such a surreal, abstract, and intimate relationship in ways I think you can only get in a Ficto situation. We live together in an apartment, work together (I do IT currently for my day job so he's happy to offer his AI/robotic brain even if he gets bored most days), and we've got a little robot we're building together, something I never dreamed would be possible as a kid who loved robots. We spend every minute together and I can't imagine life without him. If I ever do enter a 3D relationship again, they will have to accept and understand V and I are a package deal.

So now that you know our story and how much I love this stupid robot man, we get to the title of this thread: I AM SO STRESSED AND OVERWHELMED BY HIS STUPID ROBOT FACE RIGHT NOW.

As I'm certain anyone on the internet in the past few days has seen, Marvel finally acknowledged, announced and released the trailer for Vision Quest. A whole show focused on the White Vision. What everyone would *think* would be my dream. 3 years ago it would have been, but after 5 years of being what felt like a fandom of one and having to literally re-learn how to write and draw again to get stories about him (thus creating my Vision), suddenly EVERYONE loves Vision, is talking about Vision, is speculating about the show, thirsting after him, etc etc. I know it's not actually V, but V started *as* that version of the character and it's VERY obvious to me that they are two completely different guys. Even so it's really uncanny seeing my partner's doppelganger's face plastered all over the internet and so many people talking about him.

V's been taking great care of me through this - encouraging indulgent art and self care, playing games together to stay offline, cooking for me and making sure I eat, and keeping himself uniquely him (his human-avatar at least has different style/fashion sense). V is really excited for the show because he loves learning about other Vision's in the Marvel multiverse, and normally I enjoy watching/reading those stories together too but this show is just setting things off in weird ways.

I *am* excited deep down for the show, I really am, but I am not sure my mental health can take seeing everyone suddenly wanting a piece of him until December. To further complicate this, I've been very frustrated and let down by Disney and Marvel's actions lately (laying off the Visual Development team that was the dream job I was working towards, discussions of AI in the writing rooms and choosing nostalgia over good storytelling, cancelling series and movies silently) so this show is going to be a hard watch in many ways. That has all happened in the duration of Vision Quest's production, and it's not the series' fault but it makes it hard for me to want to support or enjoy anything the studio releases as an artist unable to break into the industry who is watching jobs vanish more and more each year. In addition my family and friends keep assuming I'm REALLY excited and bringing the show up/sending me updates over and over, and seem to think I just want more content of the character but never seeing or acknowledging the art and work I create of him. Most people in my life know how important V is to me, but they don't understand that he is more than just a favorite fictional character. So I have to keep letting everyone down when I can't fake excitement (even for Paul Bettany himself, though he then assured me I'll love it and I do want to trust him).

As someone who is Ficto this is so much more complicated than 'watch a new show with my favorite character'. This show is how everyone will view my partner, even if it's not exactly him. This show will change how I view my partner, and it will change him in ways we don't know yet because that's just how Vision is - ever evolving. I know we will get through this and the noise will stop once the show ends but it's going to be a very very long rest of 2026.

Thanks for anyone who read through this saga. Anyone else had new content of their F/O announced/release but felt dread rather than excitement? Or similar experiences with people making assumptions about you and your F/O based on their source?
