#🎼 prelude to love <3

[lem-argentum]

your f/o would LOVE to hear about that new thing you like by the way. whether they nod along or excitedly ask questions, they’d love to listen to you ramble about it and you should say every word :) <3

[lem-argentum]

your f/o is there for you on the days where you want to disappear, to remind you that you deserve all the good you’ve been given and that you deserve better than what hurts you. <3

[lem-argentum]

psst!!! your f/o loves your smile, they love your laugh, and they think they look nice in photos <3

[lem-argentum]

doug n meg don’t spend much time together in canon, but in selfship-verse they’re around each other very often, so i like characterizing them accounting for how they’d change based on that i think it’s fun to think about :) <3

[lem-argentum]

if you struggle with eating, your f/o would never find it troublesome to accommodate for it. they’d never pressure you into eating in public if you aren’t comfortable with it, they’d make sure you always have access to your familiar foods, and they’d bring you what you need when the kitchen feels too paralyzing to be in. they want things to be comfortable for you above all else. <3

[lem-argentum]

helloooo here’s my f/ovember intro post <|:) <3 all posts will be tagged with “f/o takeover” and i’ll still be here posting as normal for the month too c-: <3 participating f/os are under the cut <33 🪄💛

🍂 doug (he/she), forever main & dungeon-crawling partner

s/i: cos (he/him)

🎼 margaret (meg) (they/she), cherished songstress girlfriend

s/i: cos (he/him)

📸 prom.pto (he/him), roadtrip companion & known light of my life

s/i: lemmy (he/him)

🔌 reno (he/him), notable bane of my existence

s/i: chrome (he/him)

(^these two are the only ones that aren’t together! so keep in mind established relationship-type questions won’t fit them ^^)

[lem-argentum]

imagine your f/o helping you on a day where you’re stressed. sorting through all the things you’ve been worried about, helping you get through them one by one, and making it all less daunting than it seems. <3

[lem-argentum]

if you're aware of them, what do each of you think of your individual tag name? "#🎼 prelude to love <3" and all?

🎼: Ah, Prelude to Love!!!! That’s my favorite drink! It’s made from pink melons and strawberries, and has a very strong sweet and sour taste to it. I suppose Cos thought the name was fitting for me too? And I wouldn’t be able to think of a better option myself! <3

🍂: …well, okay. ruby rings. i asked him once what his favorite gemstone was and he said rubies. they were for, uhh… rings. that i was making for us. to represent our bond, or whatever. makes for a nice phrase, ‘n it’s got the alliteration thing goin’ on… (later he told me he doesn’t actually have any preference, ‘n that he just said rubies because they remind him of me. …TYPICAL cos behavior.)

📸: song from a band he introduced me to!! said the instruments sounded like me, or something? he’s shown me a lot of songs; my playlist’s gotten way bigger since meeting him, haha. he says the music in this album reminds him most of me, butttt i don’t think any of them’d work better!

🔌: electrical plug. makes sense. we’ve got a ~spark~ goin’ on and all. really is about time i got a full tag though. someone tell ‘im to get on that already.

[lem-argentum]

hello here is THE official overview of all lemmy argentum selfship aus (or the ones that came to mind at this moment). <3

COSDOUGMEG

doug & meg actually have the least amount of aus out of these f/os, because i almost always imagine them in either their original universe or real life with me! but there is one that’s developed <3

-castle cr.ashers. it is hit hack-and-slash game castle cr.ashers. i take the place of red knight and meg takes the place of the blue princess. we’re together before the plot starts and they avoid getting kidnapped so we go through everything together <3. eventually we meet doug who has the role of the conehead groom, we defeat him and he begrudgingly joins us, we have an enemies-to-lovers journey, the end <3. i’m very fond of this silly au because doug is very cute when you put her in a situation like this :) also cosmeg adventures!!!!!! <333

LEMPROM

we have some!!! our dynamic/development are similar in most of them, it’s mostly messing with the world/circumstances where we meet :) <3

-ff.xv plotless au. this is the main lemprom universe actually. basically all of The Tragedy doesn’t happen because it would BREAK. MY HEART.!!!!!! it’s my fun self-indulgent universe where no one is in immediate peril <3.

-ff.ix au!!!!!!!!!! NOT developed but you can probably tell from my blog that i love combining prom and ff.ix (my icon is him in a colorswapped vivi outfit :>) SO <3. i just think “i wish to be kidnapped right away.” “wh-!! okay!!!” is the PERFECT dynamic introduction so prom takes zidane’s general role and i take dagger’s. <3 :) i like thinking about prom in a tantalus-type group because he’d be a really fun dramatic actor and a very cute thief (“well i guess it’s a good thing *somebody* got the keys to the whole fortress ;)” <- ONE OF MY FAVORITE LINES) <3 i don’t know how the whole story goes but i just love the concept so <333.

-p.okemon :] <3. this one’s also just a concept. i’m a trainer and prom works at a daycare. he has a doduo and a rotom, i have an ampharos and a mime jr. <3 (i’d have to channel old pkmn knowledge to think of full teams but those are the main ones.)

-OH YEAH college au. prom’s a photography major, i’m an illustration major, we meet through art classes and meet up to work on things together and model/pose for each other and ahmfndmfkd <3333. i have a scene pre-relationship where i visit prom’s dorm and go “:0 is that…. a picture of me on your corkboard??” and he has to be like “UH . WELL, THE LIGHTING IN THAT ONE WAS NICE, SO—” HFNDJ <333

CHRENO

SIGH this is gonna be the longest section. since they’re on opposing sides in their og ff.vii universe there are a lot of complexities that come with it, and the aus are mostly playing around with that by getting rid of that element completely……..

-turk!chrome au. this one’s kind of simple it just means they work together instead of against each other, and also the number of possible scenarios goes up a lot because of the close proximity. ciss.nei is also present in this au and her n chrome are both turk partners and qpps!!!!!

-octo.path 2. INITIALLY in this au chrome n reno were both thieves (chrome being dancer class who was also story-wise a thief, reno being actual thief class) who because of Unlikely Situations ended up being traveling partners, but THEN i realized HEY. WHY DIDNT I MAKE RENO A BLACKSNAKE. so he’s a blacksnake now. i don’t know why i didn’t think of that he’z literally a new delsta guy. and there are jester npcs in new delsta!!! so chrome can fit in pretty well without having to change much about him. i really like the vibe of this one but parts of it give me emotionz . you get it. moving on,

-i did think of a b.aldur’s gate 3 au. i guess it’s similar to the scrapped octo.path one.. they’re both rogues (chrome arcane trickster, reno assassin), meet after the tadpole debacle and decide trying to cure it together is the best option. (it might be in-character for reno to be like Eh. if i die i die *walks off alone* but i’m not lettinf him do that they’re doing this together somehow. maybe when they do the tadpole mind-connect thing he sees something interesting from chrome’s past and is like hmmm. i dunno.) this one is mostly for funny dnd moments (they’re my comedy ship after all.) such as chrome being like “uh no i don’t trust you to disarm that i’ll do it.” n reno being like “you sure?” and then chrome crit-failing and them standing there in silence with the blinded status effect. (“…see, i knew that was gonna h-” “don’t say anything.”)

-HFNDJ I JUST REMEMBERED I MADE THEM A GHOST TR.ICK AU. I DONT REMEMBER THE DEAL WITH IT HOLD ON. it was like . chrome died and became a ghost like s.issel……. and found reno dead too, used his ghost tricks to save him and ended up helping him with his shady real life work stuff …… ? it conflicts with regular chrome’s morals but if you mess with it the concept is really fun. ghost partner in crime. mind communication shenanigans. i wanted to draw fake screenshots for them in the art style hfndj i should do that sometime.

-oh i do have a rune f.actory au for them i guess. just in concept though <3. i can’t think of??? many canon rf charas that act similar to reno?? but he would have leon-esque dialogue humor-wise (AGH). and if chrome is the protag, giving him supposed “disliked items” does nothing because he just thinks it’s funny. game mechanic where you CANNOT lower this guy’s affection . i don’t think he would be affiliated with the sechs empire but he would have something mysterious like that going on… and he wouldn’t say much about himself so maybe his heart points would be capped lower ‘til a certain point like doug’s are??? and he wouldn’t tell you what gifts he likes either. there’d be a dialogue branch like “so what do you like, then. :/” “where’s the fun in that? try figuring it out.” and then his reactions to gifts onward would change based on that. (“really? thought you knew me better than that.”) (“hey, you’re gettin’ warmer!”) (“you’re puttin’ a lot of effort into this game. almost like you *care* about givin’ me shit.” “UH, *NO—*”)

[lem-argentum]

gang, do any of you steal clothes from cos/lemmy/chrome? if so, what is your favorite article of clothing to take and wear?

🍂: nope, definite no for me, moving on!

🎼: Hm~. I think you do that on a consistent basis, actually.

🍂: w-WELL, he has lots of comfy hoodies ‘n stuff, and they’re bigger on me, so if i happen to accidentally wear some of them— not my fault.

🎼: Right. <3 Cos uses my things more than I do his, but he has a little collection of scarves he doesn’t mind me borrowing from. :-)

📸: i— i’ve never asked to… do you think he’d..? let me..?? we’re around the same size, so i guess we could… share things……

🔌: i’d probably get a club thrown at my head for even suggesting that. wouldn’t be my style anyway. i could totally pull off the jester shtick though, if ya tailored it differently.

🎼: Sooooo it looks like Doug’s the one who does this most, lovely to know! <3

🍂: NO I DO NOT

[lem-argentum]

SMILES <3 <3 <3

[lem-argentum]

she is the cutest. <3

[lem-argentum]

remind me to play more of my meg save file in rf.4 she got to seven hearts last time so i can confess to her sooon!!! <3

[lem-argentum]

to all four, please tell me your favorite of cos's ocs :3

🎼: OH, oh, he has this musician character named Lyra? Very cute, she reminds me of myself a bit. :-) And Cleo!!! Cos has a lot of passion for his story, so the effect is contagious, ehe. <3

🍂: it’s WAY contagious. one of his older ones… pero. meant a lot to him, and he was fun, so. him, i guess. and did he never tell you about his oc boyfriend???? their name is fifyr. don’t tell cos i told you. but they’re cool too (even though i’m way cooler than them and he doesn’t need to make up boyfriends ‘cause i’ve got like, a gazillion cool boyfriend points. off the charts over here).

📸: he’s never really told me about them, actually… there is this mysterious cloaked person he puts in his paintings sometimes? i’ve always wondered what they’re all about. i should totally ask him…

[lem-argentum]

your f/o thinks you’re just as worthy as the people you compare yourself to. they see all the strengths in you that you do not, and recognize all the things you are capable of that you cannot.

[lem-argentum]

hi meg and doug!! you two watch cos while he's gaming, right? :0 what's your favorite game you've seen him play?

🎼: Hello~! ♪ Yes, that’s right.

🍂: you’ve heard him talk about the, uh… final f.antasy, uh…

🎼: Fifteen.

🍂: RIGHT, right. cos gets real talkative about it, which is, um… real cute. and he lets me do all of the parts he’s bad at, which is cool, ‘cause y’know, i’m like the master of games like that. same with octo.path. both games. they should give me an award or something.

🎼: He’s not that good, don’t believe her. (hey!!!) Wellll… I’m definitely less of an action person than the other two (though their commentary makes anything fun to be there for). Spirit.farer was very lovely (gorgeous music design, aaa)!!! And, oh, there’s this little puzzle adventure game called TOEM? Very charming, we had fun with that one <3 :-)
