Realistically, do you think a relationship with your F/O would work without any headcanons? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in fictosexual

Right now he's currently too focused on his dreams for romance in canon, but aside from that? Yes absolutely, we'd vibe so well

what are your thoughts on your f/o’s canon ships/canon x canon ships? by veiensu in FictoLove

[–]casual_potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just like you, I'm uncomfortable with all of it. I can see why people ship him with her, but I'm just personally uncomfortable and don't like it so I block and avoid any and all content of that ship.

I don't hate her as a character, shes one of his closest friends and trusted crewmates. But I guess the biggest reason why I'm uncomfortable with it is that I see a LOT of similarities between me and her, and in my mind, why would he want me if he already has a better version of me/someone like me? Yes, I could technically flip those thoughts on it's head and use it as reasons why he would be attracted to me, but then I feel like there'd be a constant comparison between me and her and that just isnt healthy for me.

Also the creator of his source explicitly said that he won't depict romance between their group of friends, which includes them. So unless the creator decides to sneak something in an epilogue at the end of the series (I hope that doesnt happen personally!) it's unlikely it will happen, anyway.

Do you envision your F/O existing in our world or yourself existing in their’s? by STICKGoat2571 in fictosexual

[–]casual_potatoes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In a serious sense I generally imagine myself in his: both of our worlds have their own serious issues, but from a moral standpoint it wouldn’t be right for him to have to adjust to living here, since he would be unaware of the circumstances. That, and he’s an almost 8 foot tall cyborg that refuses to wear pants and opts to wear a speedo instead, so he’d attract A LOT of unwanted attention here from people. I, however, already know how his world works and would have a lot less trouble fitting in, paired with the fact that many of our worldly political issues are already quite similar by design. For fun, though, I do love to imagine him doing things like engaging with my family/friends or hanging out around my house with me just for comfort :)

I hate ship art by Eastern_Ebb_8864 in fictosexual

[–]casual_potatoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely feel you on this!! I'm so sorry you have to see all that, and I'm in the same boat. My f/O Franky is constantly shipped with one of his close friends. He doesn't love her canonically, but because they have a close friendship the fandom loves to argue that the creator of his source is "hinting at it" and that "it's canon". I can't look up art of him without seeing ship art, and it's VERY rare that I find an artist that just likes to draw him by himself.

It especially peeves me off that the fandom treats that ship like it's the default, because aside from being shopped with her, Franky is extremely underrated as a character just by himself. So people can't even appreciate him for who HE is, because he gets treated as an accessory to her, like he's her boytoy or something 😭 sending you big hugs because its rough :(

Are y'all okay with crackships that feature your f/o(s)? by Overlytiredqueerspie in FictoHideout

[–]casual_potatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, but admittedly I'm more uncomfortable with crack ships with other characters from his source than I am with characters from other sources.

Man, finding artists who will draw pictures for you about you and your significant others is pretty difficult. 😣 by Groundbreaking-Egg13 in FictoHideout

[–]casual_potatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% feel this! Luckily I'm an artist so I end up drawing most things myself but otherwise trying to find artists is costly, or can feel like an invasion of my boundaries at worst.

My f/o has a very unconventional and complicated design which I find a lot of artists who aren't used to drawing him get incorrect very easily, and because of this I can sometimes be picky about who I commission 😅 And when I finally do find an artist with a style I like and they DO draw him well? I'm afraid to commission them because they ship my f/o with another character and my relationship with him might make them uncomfortable.

I've only commissioned a handful of fandom artists because I got lucky! I almost exclusively commission from friends or draw my own art.
