"it's okay, i can peel back the layers of you until i find the soft and gentle core of you you've had to work so hard to hide"? no. no, it's okay, i know you're hollow; i'm here anyway. you don't have to pretend it isn't masks the whole way down. whatever face you want to wear, i still love you. i don't need you to be good or unflinching or the antonym of violence. if i did, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't ask that of you.

Shoutout to all the selfshippers who suffer from chronic fatigue, seasonal depression, chronic pain, or any other disability or illness that makes it hard to maintain energy throughout the day.

Your F/O loves you regardless of how much you can or can't do in a day. Know they're always there to help you with any tasks that seem insurmountable, and they want to help you rest afterwards. They're proud of you. No matter what.

Alarm, Bloodbelly Comb, Crystal, Lion's Mane and Pink Meanie Jellyfish for Wrench please?

Jellyfish-Themed Ask Game

Omg, answered super belatedly, but I wanted to poke at my inbox for inspo on things to do, so with this sitting in here... Let's do it!!!

[ALARM JELLYFISH] ~ Has a time come when you and your F/O had to work with your enemies? If so, how did that go?

Yes, and also no...? Thankfully, other people- like Marcus- tend to handle that kind of confrontation on their own time. Wrench- and so, by association, myself- tend to be on the backline to watch their backs or lurking in the shadows for quick-support if and when needed.

...Although. Being anywhere near Lenni during the whole fiasco with Prime_Eight, and then the events with Rempart... We've gotten close. Though the latter was more of a, "Trusted the wrong people," scenario... Not that my husband has ever let himself live that one down.

[BLOODYBELLY COMB JELLYFISH] ~ Are there any outfits of your F/O’s that you find… particularly strange?

His outfit for Swelter Skelter still- and always will- sit ever-so high on that shelf, for me... On one hand, I do love getting to see so much of him! It flusters me to no end! ...But honey... Oh my.

Aside from that, I just know he's put together ensembles that only fit in the daydreams of stereotypical gamer men. That is to say, so many mismatched t-shirts and sweatpants/pajama pants that- theoretically- could be quite sexy... Except I'm wondering when he stole the Hello Kitty pajama pants he "got for me" and then have magically found themselves on HIS long legs....all while wearing either no shirt, his hoodie, or a t-shirt of some band he likes or video game [we probably play together].

.....He's my outfit thief more than I'm his, somehow. I think he's talented for this.

[CRYSTAL JELLYFISH] ~ How does your F/O act in public? And in contrast, how do they act when they’re in private with you?

So. Here's something fun-! For awhile after we met, he changed...slightly, in public. Still his usual, rambunctious self, but others noticed him really trying to amp it up when I was around. (I didn't notice this for a good while, but Marcus and Sitara were sure to dispel some of those illusions!)

After we started dating, he mellowed out for a short time. It's that honeymoon phase, y'know? We were reeeaally into each other, and sappiness ensued. And probably way more flirting than anyone was betting on, LOL!!! But. That ended, and then he also became more of an asshole, for a time. Overprotective, despite our line of work, y'know? That become a whole Thing we had to get through, before it could all settle...

Nowadays, his public self is back to normal. High-energy, says weird shit, loves being a menace to the people who love and know him... To anyone else, he hasn't changed very much! Maybe more genuine confidence behind him.

At home, though... That's my cuddlebug. Reggie's got energy, but it mellows out. He gets to be his full, authentic self at home, and I love that for him, so so much. 💕 He'll be quieter, cuddlier, and with moments of his teasing, "jerkish" nature. (That I soooo love from him... He's my jerk!! And I love him so much!!!) Also, Princess Leia means he's got a lot more ways to have fun than just video games and robotics work, so I love that for him, too.

[LION’S MANE JELLYFISH] ~ What is the height difference between you and your F/O?

So Wrench is presumed to be around 5'11" ~ to 6'... And I'm 5'2"! At best (5'11"), that puts us at around a 9" difference! (With him being 6 ft, making that more like 10".)

Either way... He doesn't have that much of a problem picking me up and toting me around. LOL

[PINK MEANIE JELLYFISH] ~ Tell us all about why your F/O loves you! All about why you’re their special person!

Well... I think it'd be best for him to put it in his own words!!

GUSHING ABOUT MY LOVELY SPOUSE?! ...You promise? Heh, kidding. Never can resist a joke or two, but- Hey, let's get to this. Why I love this goofball so much?? ...Because of everything they are. It's legit fucking difficult to put it to words, but you asked, so I'll find a way! So... They're funny. I liked hanging around them, and finding out what nerdy shit we had in common. I didn't like animals when we first met- hated 'em enough to swear I'd kick a puppy if Marcus put one near me- but... I don't know, the cat theme was eye-catching. I kinda wanted to know more? Tease them about it? Instead, I just... Fell. Really hard. Scarily hard, for someone like me. Holy fuck, do I really deserve anything nice or what?? And I had soooo much fucking baggage; especially at that time... So to...have all of those confronted by someone like Rach? My Kat? ...It doesn't erase insecurities. Not right away. But there was something that flew far the hell away the day they saw my face, and loved it. Loved me more. Held me... Man. This is getting, like, waaaayy too personal, but. I mean it all. I felt seen in ways I hadn't before. Even to where my "shit personality" moments weren't ruining this, even when I thought I did. When...Kat gave those right back to me, and in a weird way? Made me realize I didn't want this with anyone else. And they gave that back to me. Over and over again. Seeing that ring on their finger? ...Too many emotions in one little object. But I'm glad we made it. Are still making it...and someone I met on an accident Marcus made, once upon a time. Seven years later, and I love them...more, than when we first met. Hey, here's to many more years, huh?

...And there it is! His rambly words! (BRB, gotta go cry myself to sleep now; gEEZ!!!)

Your robot lover has no idea why you love them so much.

There's no calculation for this, no unit to measure, no outcome to process.

You place fat kisses on their screen face even though they can't kiss back.

You cuddle into them every night even though they insist it would be more comfortable for you if you didn't. They still rub your sore cheek in the morning, red from where it rested on their hard chest plate.

You touch their body even though they can't feel it. Intertwining your fingers, rubbing down their chest, holding their face, kissing their hands.

What's even more confusing to them is why they love it.

Why they find themselves gazing at your sleeping form, gently running their fingers along your back.

Why they think about you far more than they need to. Why you take up so much memory space.

Why they yearn to reciprocate your affections, knowing they can never actually feel you.

They weren't made for love but the fact that you give it to them anyway is a truly selfless act and also the worst thing you could have done to them.

Y'know, sometimes I forget my own self-ship lore... So fun fact-!!

One of my original plans for OoT Ethel's story was that the darkness was going to try and turn her against Link. I do believe this carried forward into modern times, but I usually don't remember if the second half carried into the story, so....

Link had nightmares about meeting Ganondorf, as a child.

Ethel had nightmares of Link's back, but bigger (adult Link), and attempting to slash at him with a sword.

This was meant to be a prediction of their own future, where they would- during the run-up to meet with Ganondorf (after stealing Zelda), Ethel would "turn" to harm Link before the big fight. Ethel- originally- would've actually had a whole "Cloud almost attacks Aerith" scene about it, would also manage to stop herself last minute, but- horrified at what they almost did- would run away at the end.

Adult Link doesn't see Ethel again. And when Zelda sends him back through time...?

They remember time travel, too. Usually at the cost of making them feel woozy, but they would remember. Now, when he left the Temple of Time for the last time... He wouldn't see Ethel waiting for him outside of the Temple's doors.

Nor for many years after that.

(Canonically, I think that they'd never show up again...but thanks to stuff like LU, I like to think that they come back around post-MM, and try to work at Lon Lon for money. Eventually running into Link again through this...much to their deep shame. He's just....so glad their back. Someone finally came back to him.)
