#platonic fo imagines
Imagine doing karaoke with your F/O(s), having fun and cheering for each other.
- Who sings first to break the ice?
- What kind of songs do each of you pick?
- Do you gesture/move dramatically while singing?
- Who sings well and who doesn’t? Who does it jokingly/casually and who seriously tries to sing perfectly?
Applicable towards romantic/platonic/familal F/OS
Tw content: mentions toxic relationships and cutting people out of your life. This Imagine is more sober than usual, but I wanted to write it because I feel at least someone out there needs to read it.
Imagine: You’ve had to break things off with a friend recently; your friendship was deep and old, and you reconnected lately with hope for a better relationship a second time around.
However, time has passed and your romantic/platonic/familial f/os have heard you talk about this friend often- there’s some good but they’re worried— they’ve heard you bring up questionable and toxic behavior this friend has directed towards you many, many times now since becoming friends again. They’ve listened to you, comforted you, given you advice, and helped you remain objective about that friend’s behavior and the verdict is a reoccurring one: you’re not being treated as well as you should and you deserve better.
They’re never annoyed with you for bringing up these instances- they’re grateful you’re telling them so they can reassure you that you’re not over reacting, you’re not “too sensitive”. They feel upset and angry at the person, but not you. They understand you may need time to work through the fact you have to cut that person out, that you may not feel comfortable yet with just up and leaving. Your f/o understands and is there for you to comfort you each time.
You’re devastated, of course- you know your f/o is right- you’ve got to leave that friend. You had really hoped things would be better this second time around but no matter how many times you try to get an apology from your friend, you end up frustrated at the way they don’t change their behavior.
Imagine your f/o holding you, telling you fiercely as many times as you need to hear it that you deserve to be treated better;you deserve respect, you deserve to feel emotionally safe in all your relationships.
They hold your hand as you cut that toxic person out of your life, they hug you and let you cry if you need to; disappointment is painful and they understand the need to mourn what could’ve been if only that person wasn’t so awful to you. Your f/o tells you they have faith in you to find better friends, and that they’ll be there to help you any way they can so you don’t get hurt again.
Days or even months later, your f/os have no problem with hearing you confess your doubts about your decision, nor do they have any problems with reassuring you that you made the right choice.
If you had to cut someone out in your life recently for your own mental health, know your f/os are so, so proud of you. They understand the amount of stress and effort you had to undergo to do it. They want you to put your mental health first.
They love you.
Romantic, platonic, or familal f/o imagine
For those people who undergo menstruation, imagine your romantic/platonic/familial F/O helping comfort you through this rough time.
They helpfully remind you to set alarms to take pain meds, making sure you’ve water nearby.
If you have to go to work, they help you get ready, giving you a safe space to complain about how you don’t want to go, and they listen sympathetically if you need to vent about how emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted you are.
They offer gentle words of comfort and encouragement as you go to work, send you uplifting memes and texts while you’re there, and when you come back home, they wrap you up and hug you and praise you for getting through the day.
They encourage you to shower, knowing you’ll feel better when you do and when you’re out and dressed they wrap you up in a blanket burrito and plop you on the sofa to enjoy your favorite shows with you, and if you need to cry, they just hold you and encourage you to let it out, speaking softly and rocking you in their arms until you’re feeling better.
Imagine your shy or socially awkward F/O correcting someone when they misgender or deadname you, even though it makes them nervous/anxious to speak up. They care about you and want you to be happy and comfortable always, so they get out of their comfort zone to make sure your name and pronouns are respected.
Imagine going window shopping with your f/o. Whether it’s things like suits and dresses or just laughing at stupid gamer graphic tees in a department store, it’s nice to be able to see the things they eye closer than others, just as it is the other way around. They see a nice piece of formalwear you’ve been melting over, a goofy shirt that made you laugh until you got those little tears on the edges of your eyes, and they haveto get it for you. Their treat! Even if that treat is an “I’d rather be gaming” shirt.
Applicable for all types of f/o (QPR, Familial, Platonic, Romantic)
If you’re an artist, imagine your f/o absolutely loving your art!
If you’re shy about letting people watch you draw, that’s okay! They’re more than happy to wait until you’re ready to show them- your f/o will never try to sneak a glance or try to make you show them if you’re not comfortable with it for whatever reason and furthermore, they don’t require a reason; they love you, so of course they’ll respect your boundaries!
If you like drawing people, imagine how honored and zazzed your f/o would be if you asked them to model for you- you could even make an even more fun time of it by picking out their outfit too!
If you prefer drawing animals, imagine your f/o taking you to the local zoo/aquarium, watching animal documentaries with you, and helping you build a Pinterest board full of animal references to help inspire you!
Whatever you like to draw as your subject, your f/o is in awe of you. You’re making things- putting something out into the universe! And they think it’s the coolest thing ever! Of course they want to support you!
Please imagine your f/o so excited and honored to find out that you drew them or drew something for them- think of them handling the paper / regarding the PNG file with the sweetest smile, putting it on the icebox or in their wallet or absolutely the wall at home ( if it’s digital, think of them printing it out to put on their wall!)!
Your f/o will say all sorts of things regarding their favorite parts of whatever art piece you make but it’s definitely clear whether they say it or not that their absolute favorite part of the piece is always your signature- who else can say they own your art, one of a kind and made with love?
please don’t be negative about your own art in the tags / comments. This is a post to celebrate your art skills no matter where they are on the chart that you use to measure them.
To follow that up, I want to say for those that need to hear it, if you ever struggle with liking your own art, your f/o is always there to hype you up!! Please listen to them, they mean what they say and they’d be so sad if you ever stopped creating things you enjoy; they’re there for you to remind you that it’s not about the likes or comparing yourself to other artists but instead it’s about how much creating art makes you happy so please,
Never stop creating that which makes you happy✨!!

Howdy my fellow Adult self-shippers!
Do yourself a huge favor and think about the following with your f/o(s) of choice:
- Your f/o helping you sort through different health insurance plans to help you get the best deal / coverage (especially if you’re American)
- Your f/o helping you file your taxes. Maybe they’re a whiz at that sort of thing or maybe you just both cry together and order delivery as you just submit it to somewhere like H.&R Bl.ock
- You and your f/o excitedly cancelling social plans with other people you genuinely love but have no energy to interact with due to your busy work schedule to just spend the night indoors in front of the TV lazing around
- Your f/o offering to help with paying for gas, especially if they use the vehicle too
- Your f/o and you moving in together and splitting the rent so you both can afford to splurge now and again
- You and your f/o switching off on who pays for dinner / always splitting the bill
- Your f/o helping you compile a working, useful grocery list and what’s more, helping you find the best deals on prices
- Your f/o encouraging you to work in that next therapy appointment effectively so you can adequately make it through the work week
- Your f/o helping you with the laundry and cleaning up, you both taking turns doing what you are most happy to do chores-wise
- Your f/o helping you plan out a menu for the week and then helping you with meal prep/cooking so y'all can cut down costs on delivery/takeaway
- Your f/o writing down/reminding you to write down your various appointments for the next two weeks in that schedule planner / on that big calendar y'all keep on the wall
- Your f/o encouraging you to call in sick when you need to and helping take care of you /taking care of you as much as they can if they too work
Cain’t think of anymore but yeah, I just felt like I personally needed this kind of content since it’s so applicable to me as an adult and figured it might resonate with some of y'all too. Being an adult can be really boring and suck in general but it doesn’t have to be boring or suck so much, especially if you think of your f/os there with you!
Imagine going on a drive with your f/o
It’s 6am during the winter so it’s still dark outside. You both sit in the comfortably heated car as you drive through the city/town. You looked at the stars that are still visible, admire the colors of the rising sun, awe at the lights of buildings with signs lit or lights on that could be seen through the windows. You have the radio on max volume or have a playlist on shuffle. They quietly begin singing to the music before their voice rises. Soon you’re both belting along to the lyrics, hidden in your own little bubble of bliss. After a while you two get some coffee/tea/milk/juice and some breakfast. You park at the most secluded area of the place you call home and sit on the hood of the car and eat, enjoying each other’s presence.
imagine you and your f/o going grocery shopping together. they make sure to get all your favorite snacks, they end up going a little overboard and you get a lot more food then you went in for. they even push you around in the shopping cart for a bit. you even play a quick round of hide and seek in the many isles. you also work together on the self checkout, getting it done much faster then you even could have by yourself.
imagine sitting by yourself in a comfortable space. it’s been a bad and terrible day, and you can’t help yourself from sobbing and crying. the loneliness tugs at your heart and you cradle your face in your hands because you just don’t feel ready to handle anything else.
your F/O enters quietly, stepping into the room and stares at you for some time before coming over to you. your F/O’s heart wrenches seeing you so distressed, and they kneel down in front of you and wrap their hands around your wrists. imagine the surprise at the feeling, the slight embarrassment - and you look up and your F/O is there.
your F/O tells you, “hey, it’s okay. it’s me, i’m here.” and you can’t help but cling to them and cry. your F/O rubs little circles on your back, and together you both sit and decompress together.
and for those moments, you really feel like everything is going to be okay.
Okay because I’m a simp for domestic stuff, here you go
Imagine singing and dancing with your F/O, what kind of music would it be? Are they good at dancing?
Imagine cooking dinner with your F/O, laughing and playfully messing with each each other, or maybe you just enjoy each other’s presence quietly.
Imagine watching a movie together while cuddling and wrapped up in a blanket, what kind of movie would you watch? Do they eat all the snacks? Would they hog the blanket?
Imagine doing your own things but still finding comfort in each other’s presence and simply enjoying it with the silence.
Imagine your F/O making a care-package for you.
They fill it with comfort foods they know you love, or snacks that you used to eat when you were a child. They might buy you a stuffed animal or two, or give you a teddy bear wearing a little outfit.
They also go out and buy hair/body products that smell like something you like.
If there’s enough space, they might even buy a couple pieces of merch (small figurine, t-shirt, charms, etc.) and stuff it in with everything else.
