this is a reminder for selfshippers that its okay to make your f/os obsessed with you. so true they WOULD think about you all the time. so true they WOULD bring you up in every conversation. the world could be ending and your f/o would only mourn not getting to give you enough affection
Creating a self insert (who looks a bit like me) is the best thing I've ever done, as it makes me feel so much better about myself. I can be a person in the world of my fav media? I can have adventures with magic, superpowers or just hang out with my fav characters? And there are characters who like or even love me for who I am? Amazing <3
You are your f/o's first choice.
imagine your f/o being the one to fall first. imagine them being lovesick over YOU! every conversation ends on the subject of you with them, and they find ways to see you as much as they can.

"Nice characters are boring" to YOU. I love characters who no matter what, will always have genuine love for humanity in their heart. Characters who dance and laugh and sing with sincerity. Characters who believe in others, and are willing to extend a helping hand to people when no one gave them the same luxury. Characters who have gone through so much but believe, no matter what, that humanity and life is something beautiful and worth protecting
friendly reminder that every time your f/o thinks about you they get the cartoon hearts floating around them. friendly reminder that when you walk into a room your f/o lights up and everyone can see just how much they care. friendly reminder that every time you brush up against your f/o they feel their heart rate increase and a warmth spreads over them. friendly reminder that your voice brings your f/o’s mind to happy places and pleasant feelings. you affect your f/o just like they affect you.
Self-inserts are a form of self-love. What’s a better self-confidence boost than saying “If I were in my favorite series, I would look SO COOL and all my blorbos would be MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME and I would have AWESOME POWERS and I would have the BEST BACKSTORY and the fandom would ADORE ME.”
nothing feels as amazing as knowing your f/o would be SO into you and knowing you're so into them. like the two of you giggling over how much you love each other. buying/making gifts for each other. doing the most to impress the other because youre so in love and you just want to be with them.
Tbh I really like it when magical girls are themed around stuff like food or flowers or animals that you see everyday or pop music, like it's all stuff we can sometimes take for granted but through magical girls, their real power is shown and appreciated. Food connects people and nourishes body and soul. Animals are our compatriots in this wild world, be they housecats or tigers. Flowers bring color and vibrance to the world. Music brings out emotion and speaks directly to our hearts when words alone cannot. All of those things can move us, even if they just make our day a tiny bit better. And in mahou shoujo, their ability to move people is literally turned into a force for good, into a light that vanquishes evil great and small.
Friendly reminder that it is COMPLETELY NORMAL to feel extremely attached to/have intense feelings for fictional characters.
The human brain cannot differentiate the feelings and attachments we have to irl people from the feelings and attachments we have to fictional characters. Chemically, the feelings are the exact same
More to the point, if a character you love ever gets hurt or god forbid dies, it is absolutely normal to feel genuine grief and hurt because of it. As far as the chemicals in your brain are concerned, you genuinely just watched your friend/partner/family member get hurt.
Stoic F/Os losing their composure around you,,,, getting flustered and blushy when you laugh or smile at them,,,,
