selfshippers imagine your f/o kissing you on places of your body that you’re insecure about, telling you that they don’t care how others see those parts of you because you are absolutely beautiful and downright perfect to them.

F/o comfort imagine

Best to read after you’ve had a bad day

Imagine coming home after a day that feels unbearable, the weight of your emotions crashing down as tears streak your face. You don’t even have the strength to hide it, and your f/o notices instantly. They’re by your side in moments, their eyes filled with tender concern as they gently cup your face in their hands.

“My love,” they whisper, their voice soft and full of warmth. “Don’t cry.” With infinite care, they brush away your tears with their thumb, their touch as delicate as a promise. Then, they lean in, pressing the first of many kisses to your forehead. “I love you,” they murmur, their lips grazing your skin. Another kiss lands on your temple, then your cheeks, the words “I love you” falling from their lips like a vow with each kiss.

Their devotion pours out with every touch, their lips chasing away the sadness one kiss at a time. Your trembling sobs begin to quiet as their love wraps around you like a blanket, warm and unwavering. The corners of your mouth twitch into a hesitant smile, and the moment they see it, their own face lights up like the sun breaking through a storm.

“There’s my beautiful smile,” they say softly, their voice like a melody meant just for you. They guide you to the couch, draping a blanket over your shoulders and pulling you close, holding you as though you’re the most precious thing in the world.

“I’m here,” they say, their fingers threading through your hair as they press one last kiss to your crown. Whether they turn on your favorite show, talk to you in soft whispers, or simply hold you in comfortable silence, every second is a testament to their love. And as the heavy weight of the day lifts, you realize there’s no one in the world who loves as deeply, as beautifully, as they do. With them by your side, you feel whole again.

Hope you guys enjoy! 💞

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
