Self Ship Stuff - Tumblr Posts

A older doodle that I still like teehee

Also from a springtrap x reader oneshot I wrote! Tempted to post it tbh

just a little reminder that if you self ship with more than one f/o, from 2 to 20+ of them, i support you! i know you truly love them so so much and your f/o’s love you too. even the ones you don’t talk about as much. or the ones you don’t get shipped with often by others. the ones from media you no longer read or watch or play. the ones you don’t have any lore with but you just fell in love with! they are still so very dear to you and your love for them is valid. mwah ♡

self shipping when the self insert oc has lore is crazy.

I spent time developing the enemies -> allies with unlikely synergy -> friends between OC and the canon character and now I am back to liking the character a Bit Too Much(tm)

☁️💌🍄 from Miscellaneous Ask Game

mwahaha my trap card has been activated >:3

also saying elpis instead of i/me(etc) because haha i am. not doing that to myself on a monday night.

elpis is platonic w/ all the sinners other than Faust by nature of limbus lmao

[ 🌂 ] — do you share your stuff often (clothes , tools , food , etc.) ¿ do they grumble about it but begrudgingly agree or is it second nature to them at this point ¿

out of all of the sinners elpis would probably second nature snag clothes from rodya even though they would not fit them (theres like a solid 6 inches of height difference alone) but its honestly really cute to see elpis in the oversized uniform.

elpis will snag food from heathcliff, ishmael, and sinclair, but if they were to be like "hey >:(" [or in sinclair's case, "hey :'("], elpis would go "teehee i was joking :3" and return it. this is especially common at breakfast, and eating a bagel increases the odds of it being stolen.

it is also not uncommon to find elpis returning don's action figures from their room.

elpis steals shit from outis spitefully. they return it when confronted.

[ 🧸 ] — what's the best way to cheer them up ¿

each dynamic is so drastically different [esp. with sinners that we don't have much character development for *coughs* hong lu, meursault *coughs*] but.

for yi sang, elpis will chat about poetry shit. elpis is so into poetry, their whole thing is flower language and symbolism and i really do think yi sang would be into poetry :3 for don, elpis absolutely just hangs around her and lets her talk. theres a running bit w/ me and my roommate about how elpis will go from talking to faust & yi sang, turn around and ask don a question about fixers, and then return to the deep conversation. ryoshu is... elpis is afraid of her tbh (sorry). elpis cant stand the scent of cigarettes all that much, and elpis understands just a bit too much of ryoshu's acronym shit to comfortably hang around her. but if ryoshu was sad, elpis would give her little flowers (typically that are red or have red accents). the flowers are platonic. meursault... can he get sad??? i really dont know enough about him im sorry dude T_T hong lu also strikes me as the type who wouldn't get sad, or at least not let it show. elpis would probably enjoy braiding his hair though. elpis actually caught onto the fact heathcliff was mourning a someone post c6 because they wrote down flowers while going through, and all of them were for someone who was greiving, so... elpis lets heathcliff talk to them if he wants to, even if he’s vague and/or they don’t understand him. they'll give him space when he's sad since he seems like the type who would lash out when sad (and thats not self projecting at all ahahaaaaa...) elpis would 100% weave flowers into ishy's hair if she let them. elpis picks flowers with meaning though they might not explain if they felt it wouldnt help. rodya... rodya is sad. elpis can fucking tell, but rodya won't let elpis, or anyone, help. elpis would give rodya genuine reassurances but im not sure she'd believe them :( sinclair is so sad all the time. they'd be the one to approach him, and offer physical comfort (worlds most platonic cuddle) but if he's not really up for that, they'd just sit near them. theres a running joke of elpis not having a proper seat on the bus, and so they tend to sit on the floor somewhere, so if they felt sinclair needed some company, they'd sit on the floor near the threeseater. elpis cares so much about the manager its insane. like not on an outis bootlicker level but on a "this is a human person. they care about me. reciprocated (pointing at viewer emoji)." if dante were sad and were to actually let that show because god damn it manager you have feelings too, elpis would decorate their pda thingy with tiny flowers. they'd also try and avoid any form of infighting w/ any of the other sinners since that would just stress dante out more. also they’d make a flower crown that wraps around the face of the clock :3 outis... outis and elpis do not get along (as part of a greek mythology joke lmao). however elpis lets the mood of the entire bus effect them [thanks autism /hj] and so outis being genuinely sad would ACTUALLY effect them and they'd begrudgingly be kinder to her. it wouldn't really 'cheer her up' per-say, but it would be one less thing to bother her. bug dad!! elpis is content to give gregor space if thats truly what they think he needs, but they're just as likely to curl up next to him, whichever side he'd prefer them to be on, and simply be in the same space as him. id imagine a lot of his sorrow comes from self loathing re: the bug arm, so someone wanting to be in the same area as him would probably be very helpful.

[ 🪀 ] — how are y'all at parallel play ¿ what's a hobby of yours that both of you like to dabble into ¿

the majority of interactions w/ elpis will be parallel play, so when they truly engage in something w/ a sinner, it's actually really sweet.

despite how much they hate the woman, they do it frequently with outis, if you can count arguing as a hobby... /hj the two of them actually mesh well in combat weirdly enough. gameplay wise, burn and rupture don't make sense, but the glass shards?? thats rupture baby! so they build on each other in combat. i guess that wasnt really the question LMAO. i just think these two deserve to fight each other (elpis loses 100% of the time, they are NOT trained in combat) sorry for rambling about them here.

as for hobbies they share with sinners... afformentioned poetry with yi sang. they will listen to don talk about fixers and her action figures and stuff, which maybe isnt quite a shared hobby, but elpis likes dolls and so sometimes elpis will make little doll clothes that show that they were listening to don ramble. during c5 elpis probably tried to pick up some boating stuff from ishmael but there was A LOT going on in c5 so you cant really blame them for not remembering any of it up. elpis loves pachinko machines & pinball, and while they aren't great at actually managing to gamble, rodya tries to teach them how to get better at it. it does not work, they keep losing.

[ 💭 ] — alright enough wholesomeness , embarrass them NOW . tell a silly fact about them , or maybe even a funny story .

elpis does not trust heathcliff w/ glass vases after he FUCKING THREW IT AT SOMEONE. not even kintsugi would fix that one it was in tiny little pieces and ELPIS had to help clean it up since THEY were the one to bring it onto the bus in the first place. (he gets plastic vases now don't worry)

☁️- You’ve both been transported into a D&D style fantasy world! What are your classes?

Faust is an Artificer or a Warlock; making things vs Forbidden Knowledge. As much as I love a good wild magic sorcerer, Elpis would probably be a Cleric considering how much their whole thing is being a support unit.

💌- You and your f/o are tasked with performing a heist! Which heist roles are you taking? Can you pull it off?

Faust would be the mastermind. Like, really? Possibly the Coordinator.

Elpis would either be the Distraction or the Partner-In-Crime.

And, so long as Elpis doesn't screw up the plan in some unexpected way, they'll pull it off :3

🍄- You both have to get matching tattoos, what are you getting, and where?

GAH tattoos T_T scawy /hj

I am not really good at pain, neither is Elpis. but we have to get matching tattoos, see? some dude just handed us a slip of paper for some reason (what the heck is a prescript? faust where are we) <- joke

elpis would probably want to somehow combine their little icons. the brain in faust's icon already kinda resembles a rose, so perhaps some way of making it look more like a rose, while still retaining the fact it's a brain, and without making it look like lunacy lmao.

Cringe below cut (pensive emoji)

Eden is so so so silly to me because she is very monsterfucker.

Like one of the hypothetical plot points is her beauty-and-the-beast’ing the f/o and straight up NOT recognizing him because shes not at home when that happens. She gets home, is like “wait a second, who are you?” But thats also because he became 4 feet less tall

Me and roommate realized that probably all of the people in the nest know about the illegal monster in eden’s apartment but they all begrudgingly allow it because, well, who are they to tell the singular childcare worker in the nest how to live her life.

Eden also “water that has been boiled LOOK AT ME water that has been boiled and since cooled down” the f/o because hes a little mentally unwell

Also the f/o’s contact in her phone is §k so like.

ever just goes to continue a oneshot to include a spot for a silly little joke and ends up writing angst with a cliffhanger or is that just me

thinking about insufferable wife & elpis…

It’s SO silly to me that the number of times they’ve killed each other is so so so uneven.

elpis will take a hit for Faust (story wise, not as a theoretical gameplay element) every single time and it’s actually stopped being cute because they get themself killed by doing this so often.

but the reason I was thinking about this was ego corrosion and. yeah elpis has broken their bones multiple times and they just respond with “🥰” because they are so in love it’s sickening

Elpis, when corroding, tends to still somehow avoid attacking Faust* while Faust’s corrosions seem to target Elpis more often, especially hex nail.

*aside from rosate desire but that’s, uh. Different. Yes I did go through the list of canon egos and come up with a list of ones Elpis has. no it’s not just because haha the horny ego (though that is a part of it LMAO)

they care about each other and while Elpis makes it so so clear they love Faust, Faust doesn’t do large actions of affection, instead smaller actions (linking pinkies is one she’s particularly fond of). Part of it is Faust is shy about it, and part of it is that’s just how Faust is.

we have two autistic people with trauma and an innate behavior pattern of avoiding talking about their feelings (Faust is, well, Faust, and Elpis hides behind flowers) so miscommunication is sadly really common between them. They are lucky that they are forced to be in close quarters to each other /hj

Elpis is prone to getting flustered and Faust is mean about it :’( this is especially clear when everlasting ego and Elpis literally could not look at Faust without them getting flustered

i have been writing the second parter of hurt/comfort of my selfship fic that was MEANT to be a silly funny but ended up with them hurting each other becuase yeah no faust doesnt know how to do intimacy and fears harming elpis further while elpis has already forgiven faust but. thats not the point of this post.

the point of this post is to share with you what i am greeted ANY TIME i open this part of the doc
