f/o/comfort character facts for trans mascs -- no explicit language

[Your comfort character/f/o/etc] has never once expected you to fulfill any kind of fantasy that you’re not entirely into. After years of dating dudes who want to be your daddy (if you’re going to play a little girl, of course) and who can’t keep their hands off your chest, it’s really refreshing.

“I think it’s cute you have stuffed animals,” [your f/o] says, and doesn’t follow it up with anything lewd or misgendering (or both). They just think it’s cute! Imagine. They make up little stories with your stuffed animals when you’re sick or when you can’t sleep, and it’s really adorable. Some mornings, you catch them snuggling one or more of your stuffed pals, but you never make a big deal out of it in case they get self-conscious and never do it again.

You can actually talk to [your f/o] about your transition, too. They’re adamant it’s your choice whether and how you want to pursue it, but if you want it they’ve got nonjudgmental feedback about it. More often than not, you’re just looking for some validation, which they always give you. They never make a scene about how binding isn’t “fair” to your chest, which others have because of wanting to see it unbound constantly in a really misgendering way. They also would never say not binding makes you somehow into a girl or woman.

It’s just overwhelmingly nice. 

There’s never been a single pronoun or name “mistake” from [your f/o], which is more than you can say for most people in your life, even the ones who want to make the biggest deal of being supportive. You could wear a dress around them and they still wouldn’t mess it up or excuse themselves for doing so on account of your clothing. (If you like wearing dresses, hooray! If you don’t, this is purely a hypothetical.)

[Your f/o] may not be trans, but they listen, and they’ve done a ton of research, so those decisions you’re considering about transition (what’s the right name for you, should you cut your hair, will you go on testosterone?) become discussions with them that just bring you closer. Nothing’s off-limits and nothing makes them feel bad – not like exploring this stuff has made other partners feel bad for some reason.

When you try to praise them about all this, [your f/o] tells you it’s the bare minimum that you and any trans person deserve, and that they are doing the bare minimum as an ally. They won’t let you make a big deal out of it, not even once.

hey selfshippers, its okay to feel insecure sometimes. there are days when we feel like we dont deserve our f/os love, and thats okay. but please dont let it bring you down.

you looked up at them, eyes glistening with tears. "Do you ever wonder if... I mean, if you're truly happy with me? If I'm really the one you want to be with?"

they pulled you into their arms, their thumb gently brushing away a tear you hadn't realized had fallen. "Hey, listen to me," they began, their voice earnest and steady.

"You are my one and only. The day I met you, my life changed forever. You bring me joy, laughter, and love every single day. I can't imagine my life without you, and I don't want to."

their lips met your forehead and lingered there, "I love you," they whispered, "whether you believe it or not, I love you."

☆ — 'someone finally cares about you' prompts. by @ricesinspo, credits appreciated!

— ☆ —

[★] they wrapped their arms around you - you can't remember the last time someone hugged you like this.

[★] getting pulled aside while everyone else is yelling at you. they get you like none of the others do; they know not to yell.

[★] patiently listening to all of your problems. like actually listening.

[★] ^ with no judgement.

[★] they notice whenever something's wrong.

[★] letting you cry into their arms. telling you it's okay, everything is okay - and you know it's true because they're with you.

[★] letting you cry at all; realizing you don't have to hide your tears in front of them.

[★] "in a world where people don't care about me, i'm lucky to have you."

[★] ^ and then they're like "who hurt you" / "where are your __ i just want to talk" lmao

do you ever so vividly imagine your fﾉo, it’s almost as if they were really there . . ?

you envision the curve of their spine, the slope of their shoulders, the contours of their face. 

the memory of their features is seared into the backs of your eyelids, burned into your mind. every detail is ingrained into your memory, from the exact shade of their hair to the precise angle of their nose.

you can recite the length and breadth of their form, the height of their stature, the weight of their limbs. you know the number of freckles on their skin, the width of their eyes, the length of their lashes. 

as you continue to slip deeper into your fantasy, you can hear their voice— you can, yes. the tone and timbre of their speech, the inflections in their words. you can recall their laughter, the sound ringing in your ears, the cadence reverberating in your chest.

you can even smell the faint traces of their perfume, the lingering scent of their shampoo, the heady aroma of their soap.

you can taste the kisses you conjure up in your mind, the sweetness of their lips . . or perhaps their saltiness.

they're there, they are real. you can sense them, you can feel them, you can reach out and touch them. and yet, they aren't, and you can't.

does anyone else feel this way, too . . ? does anyone else know what it's like, to have an imaginary companion, an ethereal lover, a spectral mate . . ?

Imagine your f/o getting you a little treat at the supermarket. Like they’re just doing groceries and maybe they remember you’ve been feeling down, or you’ve had a big day, or they randomly decide to get you something because they love you. Whatever the reason, when they come home they just hand you a bar of chocolate/crackers/any little snack you like and maybe even give u a kiss on the forehead :)

(this imagine is for platonic, familial, or romantic f/os!)

Imagine this. It's 9:40 pm and it's thundering outside, you're cuddling with your f/o in the dimmest of lights and their touch and warm. You never thought you'd feel this safe in your life, yet here you are. Their hand pets your head and holds you close as they hush you sweet nothings.

Things really do get better, it's just that the future is scary until we're in it. Your f/o is so proud of you, and you should know it. They'll always love you no matter what.

Hello everyone, there's something that I'd like to share with everyone here, because I believe it will help a lot of people.

For us folks who engage in imaginary worlds, with canon characters or our own creations, who have deep conversation with their faves in their heads or need their comfort character's shoulder to cry on, there is an unavoidable phenomenon which I took the liberty of naming "Character burnout".

"Character Burnout" essentially means that you have no energy in order to visualise your character(s) in your mind or engage with them on your imagination. I've come to the conclusion that it can be a result of an actual burnout (mental) or it can be irrelevant to mental state and your mind is overwhelmed. Simply put, it is the way your mind kindly asks you for a small break to charge its batteries. After all, picturing an entirely different reality needs a lot of energy.

Now, the reason I'm saying all this, is not for the sake of just mentioning it. I understand that a lot of us are extremely attached to our comfort characters/ f/o(s) or whatever you prefer calling them, myself included, and this situation can be very stressful. Personally, I panic, thinking that I've lost interest to my favourite characters or "grew out of it" to the point I become unable to function at all, but, after a small amount of time I can connect with them again.

So, when you experience this, please don't jump into conclusions or let fear overcome you, the connection will come back again as enjoyable as ever, you just need to be patient and give your mind the time it deserves to recharge in order to take you places again. It may take days, or weeks, but the love we have for our characters is never gone.

If anyone wants to talk about this, please do speak your mind, and I'm open if someone wants to discuss it with me as well.

So um that's it, and and sorry for the long post!

When your f/o has so little information about them in their canon media:

I'M GONNA GIVE THEM THE LORE THEY DESERVE

[selfship-shinigami]

your F/O will still love you if you gain weight your F/O will still love you if you lose weight Your F/O will love you no matter what weight you are ♡

[sunflawyer]

a gentle reminder for selfshippers that are currently feeling down — alone, upset, disappointed, hollow...

— your f/o is always there for you.

they will never, ever, leave you. you may feel like you're failing, like you're not doing enough, like no one cares... but they do. they care about you more than anything, more than everything.

even if they're not someone who can express their feelings well, they will make sure you know they're always ready to be your safe haven. they will hold your hand, rest your head on their shoulder, and just... keep you safe.

if they're shy, they will write to you. they will pour all of their feelings for you, so that you can read it over and over again. or if they're cheerful, they will distract your mind by making you laugh until you're both breathless.

— your f/o is always there for you where you can just be yourself.

Hello !

Could you please write some headcanons with Alastor and m!reader as his S/O , where reader is a fallen seraphim / ex - seraphim?

Thank you in advance !

Hmmm! Okay! I actually wanted Alastor discovering his partner is a Fallen Angel for a while now. I can imagine what would happen… but uh, anyway. Let’s try this out, shall we? Alastor is now my primary Hazbin Hotel man, which I don’t mind! I love this man!

Alastor- Lies and Deception

Why… why would you lie?! Why did you lie?! Why did… Alastor can barely process what he just learnt. His beloved partner, his cute sweetie. A affectionate polite man, you. You’re not a demon at all, you’re an angel and you were a high-level angel as well. Charlie isn’t the only one who finds out her partner is a angel, Alastor did too

“A-Al! I can explain… I just—” “Save it, Leitore. I don’t want to hear from you” and with that, Alastor goes back down to Hell. Not hearing you out, despite when you try to explain yourself. It hurts your soul seeing your boyfriend, now, so closed-off, cold and disinterested

Alastor refuses to talk to you and when he does, he is quite passive-aggressive but yet, he can’t bring himself to be insulting. He is more business than emotions and comes off as very apathetic. It’s just because he doesn’t know how to act around you anymore with this grand discovery drilled into his head

He avoids you like the plague after the incident in Heaven and Adam revealing both you and Vaggie’s angelic origins to the Group

Alastor had ended up just like Charlie. Both him and Charlie are struggling with learning that their partner lied to them and hid their true selves for so long. Unlike Charlie, who vents to Alastor about Vaggie all the way to the Cannibal Colony, Alastor tries to not focus on you… he doesn’t want a reminder

However, he is eventually talked into trying to make it up with you by his dear friend, Rosie. She reminds him that you’re his lover and that he can’t just shut you out over you not trusting Alastor to not throw you out if you told him the truth… oh, Alastor could kiss Rosie right now! But, he can’t. He needs to make up with you after the weeks he’s spent ignoring you

Like Charlie, Alastor brings over a little gift. Surprised to find out that you’ve gotten back your angel wings after so long of merely looking like an average sinner. Three feathery sets, they are gorgeous and they make your eyes pop. Alastor may not like that his lover is an Angel and he’s a true Demon but that shouldn’t keep you two apart… and after Rosie’s talk, it won’t

After quite the long private talk with you and much forgiveness and acceptance and promising, Alastor is once again, by your side and holding your hand. He was harsh in the past about what he considered a betrayal but he has heard your side of it and forgiven you for lying to him. Not everybody is perfect

Alastor may or may not play with your reborn and re-gained angel wings when he is bored or waiting. You’re always right next to him so he’ll just run sharp long clawed fingers through the gentle feathers and be enamoured by how incredible it feels. Alastor also may just take an nap on your back with how comfortable those wings of yours are

Alastor is your sweet devil, a truly corrupted evil monster but he has an opposite in the man you are, a more pacifistic and harmless soul. Just like Charlie and Vaggie but swapped, you and Alastor are the higher-up Angel-Demon gay couple. Alastor is unredeemable and won’t be going to Heaven whilst you, a being of Heaven, is stuck down here in Hell

Alastor much prefers you stay in your original look but now, that also includes the Seraphim wings. Just keep them out of the way whilst you walk and Alastor is completely content with it. He just has to get use to having an angel in the Hotel… he has to get use to having TWO angels in the Hotel

Trust me, Alastor won’t ask about life as a Seraphim in Heaven. He doesn’t even care about it, he doesn’t care what dropped you into Hell. He only cares that you’re in Hell and that you’ll stay in Hell, stay with him. That’s all he’ll ever ask, but if you want to talk about your past in Heaven, he is all ears

Alastor, also, may not be perfect but he is doing his best to accept the reality that you had to lie to him and now that, you’re both cleared it up with one another. Now, you can be 100% honest with each other

Alastor is encouraging to you, encouraging you to let out your angelic origins and not be frightened by all the Sinners. Everybody in the Hotel knows you and Vaggie are from Heaven, just embrace it. He is embracing it one step at a time

“Oh… darling. I know I was quite harsh to you. I was just upset, I thought the man I loved was against me and I was trying to kill me from the inside. I understand you didn’t want to tell me and that’s okay… we’ll get through this little bump together”

[friend-or-fo]

"You're safe," your F/O assures you, their arms wrapped around you. "I won't let them-" the pronoun drips from their mouth like venom- "hurt you ever again."

[PT: "them" in italics. End PT.]

"What if they come back?" you ask.

Your F/O's embrace tightens. "If they come back, I'll punch 'em straight into the next galaxy. But..." You feel a soft kiss on your forehead. "It's over," they say in a much softer tone. "It's all over now. And I'm here."

Pro/comship DNI, please!
