ABOUT YOUR S/O(s) EXISTENCE
This is a kind of controversial prompt I was quite hesitant to publish, but now I managed to have the enough confidence to post it. If any of the questions of this prompt makes you uncomfortable, I’m very sorry, that wasn’t my intention.
After this brief introduction, I wanted to discuss about something. All of this is hypothetical, but it’s interesting to think nonetheless. If there’s any kind of possibility of having your S/O(s) existing in your 3d world, in your country, in your city, near you, how would you feel about it? Are you truly prepared for it? Have you considered all the things that could go wrong with your first interaction with them? This is just a part of the questions I will be addressing here. I just want to highlight some two important things here.
I. The nature of your S/O
Saying that your S/O loves you is something all (mostly all) fictos would agree. But after thinking about it, it’s more complicated than that. All of this depends of the nature of your S/O:
1) The Real Case: Your S/O(s) are extradimensional beings, meaning that they aren’t affect by the influence of our “real” world. They live in our fanfics, in our self-ship drawings. It’s obvious to say that they love us for who we are and will always be by our side, because we “created” our own versions of them in our mind, a version unique to us, different from the character that appear in “canon”, shipping or dupes. This is what it truly is a ficto-relationship, a beautiful and comforting idealism that became a lifestyle for many of us, but still a fantasy nonetheless.
2) This Hypothetical Case: Your S/O(s) are real and existing, meaning they have free will, preferences and boundaries. Unlike the first case, I won’t adventure to say that they will automatically love you and want to date you right from the start, since “real” human interactions are more complex, aspects like compatibility, looks, personality, common hobbies, and many other things will determinate the difficulty of forming this “real” relationship. As far as I know, some of us will have it more difficult than others. Also that not all of our S/Os are the same, some are more difficult to interact with, at least at first, like my beloved Alya for example.
II. Your “real” world vs Your S/O(s) World
Considering the ficto-community integrates people from all around the world, means that not everyone has the same living conditions, this also applies for our beloved ones. Would you prefer to have your S/O existing with you? Or you would prefer to be in their world with them? How would they feel leaving their world to be with you? I make a chart of this in the second picture of this post.
So, after explaining this 2 key points, I will start the questions of this prompt (feel free to respond only the ones you feel comfortable answering):
- Would you like your S/O existing? If not, why?
- How do you imagine your first interaction would be? It will be love at first sight?
- If they reject you? How would you handle it? Could you really handle it? Would you still pursue them after that?
- How do you imagine gaining the trust and attraction of your S/O? How much time you think it will take you to start dating them?
- How your S/O(s) would feel after leaving their world? Would they accept it?
- How your family/relatives how react with your S/O existence? Would they accept your relationship with them?
- How would you deal with the appearance of new pretenders of your S/O? If you decide to confront them, how would you do it?
- How would you manage to keep your S/O interested in dating you in the long run?
- Do you plan to have (real) children with them?
- For non-human S/O(s). How do you imagine society will react to them?
In my case, I will only respond the first 2 questions
>!a) No, because it would be totally devastating for me if my waifu existed and rejected me than she didn't exist at all. And even if she existed and accepted me, I'm completely aware that I wouldn’t be able to give her the life she truly deserves, considering my current living conditions. At least for me, it would be such an absolute injustice to my beloved Alya if I take her from her peaceful 2d world to be forced to exist in this 3d world of suffering, especially in the place I live and survive, I don't want to see her suffering with me, as much as her "real" company would truly help me. I just have the wish to be able to exist in her 2d world, in my fanfic, or at least having more lucids dreams with her.!<
>!b) Considering how cold and distrusful Alya is with anyone who's a stranger, I don't really think that it would be possible to make a move on her without being rejected in the act (an example would be the first scene of the anime). The only truly way for making any kind of approachment with her is with a Deus ex Machina moment, like happens both in the anime and my fanfic. For example, in my fanfic only after my OC saves her from a group of thugs who were harassing her (a typical scene of rescuing the lady) is when they start talking and start trusting each other. About my “real” self. I don’t really think I will have this luck of having this Deus ex Machina moment, so it’s over for me, at least for my “real” self. But if I had this luck of being able to make a good impression of me (the real me), don’t not how tbh, I would be devoted to her even more than I actually are.!<
I’d love to read your answers. Thank you very much for participating in this prompt.
Wish you the best for you and your partners!
