Imagine Your F/o Getting Genuinely Upset Or Protective On Your Behalf, A Sign Of Their Loyalty To Providing

Imagine your f/o getting genuinely upset or protective on your behalf, a sign of their loyalty to providing you with all of the support and care you want/need. Standing up for you is something they'd do any day for you, as long as you'll let them.

your f/o(s) noticing you feel / think badly about yourself, proceeding taking your hands in theirs, scooting a little closer and mumbling sweetly about all the things they so love about you.

Your f/o would never make you feel bad about your intelligence or the way your mind works. Even if you have a hard time understanding or processing, they'll never see you as dumb, stupid, or anything of that sort. They support you completely and the last thing they want is for you to feel insecure about it.

What selfshipping is like

Mother F/O & (gender nonspecific) child selfshipper imagines

Please take your pick from the following imagines ♡

PLEASE NOTE: you'll see several similarities in this post relating to the imagines I made for the Father f/o & (gender nonspecific) child selfshipper imagines post I made since many of what was said there still rings true regarding your Mother f/o but don't worry, there are some distinct differences I made & added ♡!!!!!!!!

If she adopted you, imagine her face lighting up like New Years Eve fireworks the very first time you call her "Ma"/"Mum" etc. She is just so thrilled, so honored to have earned that title from you; maybe she even tears up a bit in front of you or perhaps later when she's alone, overwhelmed with the sense of honor, gratitude, pride, you've given her.

If you only ever call her by her first name, for whatever reason, just know she's still so proud to have such a close bond with you and no, she doesn't mind that you don't call her "Mom" or anything like that! Your comfort matters most!

Think of the way her eyes crinkle, how she smiles, the pride and warmth in her voice whenever she introduces you as her kid. She can't get enough of it, can't get enough of calling you hers- she loves you so much! If she has a phone, you just KNOW you're her wallpaper and if she's just got her wallet in her purse, know your picture is in there ;w; ♡!

Think of your mother f/o telling you she's so, so proud of you after you tell her about how you've overcome a recent struggle in your life; think of her urgently reminding you that she's always there for you if you ever need her. She wants to fix everything for you, and while she knows she can't, that doesn't mean she won't try her hardest to help you when you ask her for it!

If you're currently going through something hard, please think of telling your mother f/o; just clarify what you need from her and she's happy to do it- listen, comfort, offer advice- she's just eager to do what she can for you to make you feel seen and heard, to validate your struggles and to help you overcome them however she can ;--; ♡

If you're a person who menstruates, please know she 100% has got you covered regarding products, medication, treats--- whatever you need to feel as comfortable as you can during this time!! She knows what you're going through and she knows it's rough!!! If she could take away the pain she would but she can't so she's happy to just get you what you need and hold you on the sofa if you want and tell you it's okay to cry it out if that'll make you feel better; she isn't going to judge you, she just wants her kiddo to feel better soon ;w;!!

If you're queer, think of your mother f/o wholeheartedly accepting you as you are, just happy and honored and grateful you trust her enough to come out to her- if you change your pronouns she of course will do her best to use these new ones- it doesn't matter what you identify as now, what matters is that you're still and always will be her kiddo ;w;!!

If you live with your mother f/o, think of all the little moments like...

-her eyes lighting up whenever you come home; she's always so relieved and happy to see you home safe!!!

-imagine her taking care of you while you're under the weather and vice versa ;--;!

-her gently waking you up in the mornings. Maybe she sits beside you and pets your hair as she softly calls out to you and, with a big smile on her face as you wake up, she reaches out and pushes your fringe off your forehead, telling you something like, "morning sleepy head, breakfast is ready." Alternatively: think of waking her up in the morning! Maybe you do the same to her or maybe you lay down beside her and pat her arm; think of her wanting to snuggle with you for five more minutes before you two finally get up for the day ;w; ♡

-think of stealing her favorite cardigan/ hoodie/jacket/jumper when she isn't using it so you can smell her perfume and feel comforted by it when she's not around; imagine her laughter over finding you wearing it, letting you keep it until she inevitably reclaims it :>

-consider helping her fix things up around the house! Even if it's just you bringing her water to stay hydrated, it's still helping and she appreciates you looking after her! If you're capable of fixing things yourself for her, just know she's so grateful to you and your help ;--;!

-catching her asleep on the sofa and putting a blanket over her- only for her to wake up later with her heart warm and full of love and appreciation for you ♡

-overhearing her singing your praises on the phone / while she has friends over- it's hard for her not to bring you up in conversation because you're her whole world and she is always proud and excited to share nice things you've said or done recently!

-if you're into photography, think of getting candid shots of her reading, resting, cooking in the kitchen, etc. and showing her your photography- she's always surprised and pleased you took time to capture a moment of her, touched you found her worthy of making your subject--- if she's into photography, think of her paying the favor back to you, telling you how lovely you look in the picture she shows you!

-imagine surprising her with her favorite coffee/tea in the morning made exactly as she likes it; think of her loving smile and sweet, warm voice as she says "thank you" ♡

-think of brushing/styling her hair for her; she's so touched with how careful you always are when you brush her hair ;--;! If you have hair long enough to be brushed/styled, think of her brushing your hair for you too!! Just as carefully, her voice soft as she praises your hair color and texture, stealing smiles at you in the reflection of the mirror, just so happy to do this simple thing with you ♡

-your mother f/o taking time out of the day to give you affection.

If you enjoy physical affection most, please think of her giving/ asking you for lots of warm hugs, gently patting/rubbing your back, ruffling your hair, playfully poking and teasing/tickling you when you least expect it (if you're okay with that ofc!), giving you kisses on the cheek, the top of your head, your forehead, snuggling with you on the sofa, holding your hand / interlocking arms in public depending on what you'd prefer, etc ♡

If you enjoy verbal affection most, think of her often telling you "I love you", calling you sweet endearments (I'd try to list some but everyone's different, I know each of you have your own preferences lol), telling you she's grateful for you when you do things for her without her asking, her praising you for the effort you put into dressing up any given day, telling you she enjoys getting to spend time with you, etc ♡

If you enjoy both in equal or varying measures then, well, you've a lot to think about :D!

Take a moment to ponder over her hobbies and then consider participating in some of those with her... below are some examples :>

Is your mother f/o into theatre arts / cinema / is she an artist? I just know she'd love to take you to the opera or theatre to enjoy a play / musical / movie with you, especially so y'all can discuss yalls feelings and insights on the themes / messages / physical effects / etc. of the show! She values your opinions and always wants you to feel safe sharing them! As for art, I just know you'd be her wonderful muse and she'd love to teach you how to paint/draw if that is something you wanted!

Perhaps she's into crocheting/sewing/mending etc! It's a vital art form to create new beloved clothing and to upkeep old, precious ones- if you're not into it, please think of sitting close by and chatting or listening to music with her while she works- just know that if you have a book with you, she'd enjoy hearing you read aloud to her! If you are into it or want to learn, she'd be so thrilled to split up projects with you or to teach you what she knows!

Is your mother f/o a collector? If so, think of having lots of fun on the weekends going to thrift shops, antique stores, and garage sales together to search for what she collects! She always appreciates how keen an eye you have for helping her spot what she's looking for and she loves surprising you with little gifts from y'all's searches whenever you take interest in something ♡

Is your mother f/o a gardener? If she is, do you ever help her in the garden with the weeding, sowing, watering, and layout planning? What do you plant together? If gardening isn't your thing, don't worry! You can always just bring her something cold to drink on hot days- that never fails to put a smile on her face!

Is your mother f/o an avid reader? If she is, please think of her wanting to read aloud to you, to tell you the stories she's reading about--- or!! Her wanting you to read aloud to her! Or!! Maybe you two have a book club together!!! How lovely would that be?!??

Does your mother f/o love sports or play any sports? Think of getting cozy on the sofa with tons of snacks on Sunday afternoons or Friday nights to watch the game on TV :D! Is she the type to "talk" to the players? Get really into the game? Or does she sit there quietly and excitedly point out the technicalities of what's going on? If you're on opposite teams, imagine her playfully making bets with you on who will win! If she plays on a team, think of how pumped she gets to win knowing you're at the game rooting for her!!

If you have a shared hobby/interest, by golly, think of your mother f/o excitedly sharing this with you!! She loves sharing this with you, loves growing with you in experience & mastery of this hobby / diving deep into this topic with you!

Think of your mother f/o encouraging you to chase after your goals / interests / dreams! She's happy to sit down with you and plan with you about how you can achieve those; your happiness is her happiness! If you ever change your mind about pursuing something, know she'll understand and that she only cares about you not giving up on something that truly is attainable ;w;

If you're ever scared or anxious about something, just know your mother f/o is ready to hold you and protect you the best she can; a mother's love will conquer anything that threatens her kiddo! She'll always be there to encourage you to try your best to be brave and remind you it's okay to be scared, it's okay to be anxious- just do your best to make it through okay and things will be better- she knows it will because she believes in you ♡

If you have a romantic f/o, just know your mother f/o will do her best to try and get along with them for your sake if she doesn't automatically 'click' with them! The fact that they make you happy is enough for her to like them enough! Alternatively, if your mother f/o and your romantic f/o get along well, think of your mother f/o flustering you on purpose by calling your romantic partner her future kid ;3c

If you have sibling f/os that share your mother f/o, think of her being careful to make time just to spend it with you and you alone so you don't feel ignored or overlooked!!!! She may love you all equally but that doesn't mean she won't do her best to make sure you feel special in her eyes!

Have you thought about going out on the town / leaving the house with your mother f/o yet? If not! Now you should :D! Let me help...

Think about going to the local diner with your mother f/o! Maybe she helps you get dressed up to look your best with her, maybe you both go in your PJs! If you don't mind it, she's always happy to order for you! Maybe she likes to hold your hand or point out the scenery to you to enjoy it together- maybe some people watching! Even if you're grown and have a job of your own, she still insists on paying but gets really soft when you sometimes sneakily beat her to it ♡

Please imagine going grocery shopping with your mother f/o! Maybe you divide the list and conquer, maybe you stick together and tackle one item at a time. Is she the type to sing along to the overhead songs playing? Is she the type to do a little fun ditty of a dance in the aisle???????? do you join her if so 👀???? Or do you get embarrassed and pretend you don't know her :3c? She'll stop after a while don't worry! She just wants to make you smile ♡

Perhaps you go on a little road trip! If so, think of her driving (or letting you drive if you're legal) with a smile on her face as you sing out-loud to the songs on the radio. Maybe y'all have a special playlist of y'all's favorite songs on it!

Planned Mother & kiddo outings!! Maybe it's the museum, maybe dinner, maybe the cinema-- wherever it is, just know she won't let her own worklife make her reschedule this outing with you! She always looks forward to these planned adventures with you and will always, always keep you safe ♡

Your f/o will always see you as enough for them. No matter how insecure you might feel, no matter how many times you've felt like you wouldn't be good with them, they never see it that way. They love the things that make you both similar and different, that's the beauty of their love for you. It doesn't suddenly change because of things like that, it strengthens their appreciation for you. Being yourself, even if different than them, is a good thing.
