is a character an f/o only if you self-ship with them? or can that term apply to a character that is extra special and meaningful to you? wondering because some of my faves are so special to me, but I’ve never enjoyed self-shipping(I also ask because of your post mentioning shipping your f/o with an OC)
What counts as a F/O is different for everybody.
At it’s very most basic, an F/O can be any character that you have a crush on, or feels important or close to you.
Many people call a character that’s extra special and important to them a ‘comfort character’. But if you feel like you love them, or have a crush on them, or you want to ship them with your OC or anything else, you can consider them an F/O.
With f/os there’s not any hard and fast rules.
