I updated my F/O list in my pinned post with some of my secondary F/Os. ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
You’ll probably hear about some of them soon; I’ve been kicked back into Fire Emblem mode!

J. R. R. Tolkien, undisputedly a most fluent speaker of this language, was criticized in his day for indulging his juvenile whim of writing fantasy, which was then considered—as it still is in many quarters— an inferior form of literature and disdained as mere “escapism.” “Of course it is escapist,” he cried. “That is its glory! When a soldier is a prisoner of war it is his duty to escape—and take as many with him as he can.” He went on to explain, “The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as possible.“
Stephen R. Lawhead
"I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which ‘Escape’ is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”
-J.R.R. Tolkien
“Hence the uneasiness which they arouse in those who, for whatever reason, wish to keep us wholly imprisoned in the immediate conflict. That perhaps is why people are so ready with the charge of "escape.” I never fully understood it till my friend Professor Tolkien asked me the very simple question, “What class of men would you expect to be most preoccupied with, and hostile to, the idea of escape?” and gave the obvious answer: jailers.“
-C.S. Lewis
sunflower – do you make fun of or tease your f/o a lot, or can you not bring yourself to be lovingly mean to them?@chaos-shipping
Eheheh! thank you, I love this question!
The answer is I tend to have very teasing relationships with mooooost of my F/Os with a few notable exceptions. Byakuya and Daniil I’m very shy about teasing because I admittedly adore them in a way that puts them on a little bit of a pedestal! That’s not to say I never tease either of them but I kind of get embarrassed about it– something both of them tend to tease me about!
With the rest of my F/Os I tend to have very teasing and goofy relationships. especially with Laura and Mukuro. With Mystique, I’d say it borders on the adversarial 😉 One of my favorite things is to make Mysty embarrassed by my very presence 🤣
Imagine your F/O brushing your hair. They gently stroke the brush through, careful not to tug, and run their fingers through the strands gently as they they brush them into place.
Reblog if you approve of all ships and just have favorites.
