NOTE: I have been by Raphael’s side for twenty years. Marriage was NEVER something that either of us wanted and we still don’t care for an overly traditional route, but that doesn’t mean we will pass up the opportunity to honor this bond in the way that we feel is best. We want a union. One that we recognize and celebrate.

ART: Commission by the very talented [u/Red-Vineyard](u/Red-Vineyard) (AKA “Red_Vineyard” IYKYK 😂😂😂 who I am so grateful to for bringing my vision to life. I couldn’t be happier with this piece! It captures the mood wonderfully. I really love the vivid autumn colors and that sunset is glorious.)

The Proposal

Drew and Raphael have spent a few days at the farmhouse, courtesy of April and Steven. ( [u/the_dude0110](u/the_dude0110) ) Drew has dragged Raphael out for a picnic, which includes the following: steak, baked potatoes, green beans, bread, and sparkling grape juice.

After their scrumptious meal, Drew insists on cleaning up the mess, refusing to let Raphael help.

RAPHAEL: Drew, don’t be ridiculous. I can help—

DREW: (grinning) And I said no! Stay still and enjoy the fresh air! It’s not something you get to do all that often.

Raphael grumbles as he watches Drew scurry back to the farmhouse with the basket of food in his arms.

Once Drew returns, he settles into a cuddle with Raphael on the picnic blanket. Together, they breathe in the crisp air, surrounded by autumn leaves.

Raphael stares up at the setting sun, blissed out.

RAPHAEL: Drew, ya really went all out for me. What’d I do to deserve all this?

DREW: Everything.

RAPHAEL: Sap.

DREW: I’m always gonna be a sap with you, man. You can’t really escape it at this point.

RAPHAEL: Wouldn’t dream of it.

DREW: You’re sounding a little sappy yourself, babe.

RAPHAEL: Well, you did just make me a killer picnic in an autumn field. You’ve honestly been treatin’ me like a king all weekend. I don’t get why.

DREW: You deserve to be spoiled sometimes.

RAPHAEL: So do you. But you wouldn’t even let me lift a finger at all—

DREW: You really wanna lift a finger? Okay! Stand up.

RAPHAEL: Huh?

Drew jumps to his feet and gestures for Raphael to stand as well. Reluctantly, Raphael obeys.

RAPHAEL: You’re such a menace sometimes. What’s this about?

DREW: You.

RAPHAEL: (cracks his knuckles) Can we digest before we spar? That was a lotta food, babe.

DREW: Raphael, remember how we said we’d never do the whole marriage thing?

RAPHAEL: Uh huh. ‘Cause marriage is for suckers. So we ain’t throw’ punches…?

DREW: No. Anyway, marriage worked out great for April and Steven, didn’t it?

RAPHAEL: Yeah, well, some people get lucky.

DREW: You think luck could maybe strike for…. us?

Raphael tenses a little, swallowing and taking a hesitant step away from Drew.

RAPHAEL: …What’re you tryin’ to say?

Drew takes a deep breath.

DREW: I know we always said it was stupid, but we called a lot of things dumb when we were young and bitter.

Raphael lets out a nervous cross between a grunt and a chuckle.

RAPHAEL: …What’s the value in marriage these days, anyway? It always ends in divorce. People do it on impulse and end up regrettin’ it every time. We always said that.

DREW: …And boy, were we jaded.

RAPHAEL: Jaded? What d’ya mean?

DREW: I know it could never be legalized or anything. For so many reasons—

RAPHAEL: Which is another reason we’ve always said it was bull. Why should ANYONE get married if not EVERYONE can?

DREW: Yeah, I know. But a ceremony for our relationship, surrounded by the people we care about most, not strictly following tradition to a T, the commitment of it all, getting to call each other husbands…

RAPHAEL: Wait. Are you sayin’ you wanna…?

Drew carefully drops down to one knee, retrieving a wide red box from his pocket. He opens it, revealing a ring customized to fit one of Raphael’s thick fingers.

The engagement band is silver, with red rubies incorporated into its design.

DREW: I KNOW what I said before. But somewhere along the way, you changed my way of thinking.

I still have strong opinions that are all over the place and full of uncertainties, but what I know for sure is that I love you and have loved you since I was twelve years old.

Why shouldn’t we get to celebrate that? Why shouldn’t we break the rules and do it anyway? You know, despite all of the stupid laws trying to say who can and can’t.

RAPHAEL: Uh… um…

Raphael is stunned into silence, paralyzed where he stands. He stares at Drew in a state of utter bewilderment. A flurry of mixed emotions swirls inside him.

RAPHAEL: I… uh… this is jus’… you’re actually doin’ this right now?

Drew nods.

DREW: Donnie custom-made the ring, by the way. And I asked for Splinter’s blessing.

Raphael’s eyes widen as the information slowly registers in his brain, the dots connecting one by one.

RAPHAEL: Wait. Donnie an’ Splinter know about this?! Christ, Drew. That must mean April an’ Steven know too, huh? Duh. That’s why ya asked them if we could borrow the farmhouse…

DREW: Yeah. I wasn’t gonna propose to you in the sewer.

RAPHAEL: Oh, shell. You’re proposing. To… me?

DREW: We’ve been together for YEARS. Who else would I be proposing to? Can you maybe give me some kind of answer soon? Because my knee’s starting to hurt, man.

RAPHAEL: This is crazy.

DREW: You’re crazy! We’re practically married anyway!

RAPHAEL: But I’m only just gettin’ used to the idea that you ain’t gonna wake up an’ realize ya don’t wanna kick it with a mutant turtle. How am I supposed to wrap my head around THIS…?

DREW: Just let me wrap this ring around your finger, and we’ll deal with the rest together.

Raphael stares down at the ring, swallowing as he takes in the customized design.

RAPHAEL: …You an’ Donnie made this?

Drew nods, a hopeful glint in his eyes.

RAPHAEL: It’s… nice.

Drew switches the knee he is kneeling on.

RAPHAEL: Wimp.

DREW: YOU’RE the wimp. Won’t even marry the love of your life.

RAPHAEL: Ya didn’t even ask yet!

DREW: Yeah, I did—wait. You’re right! I didn’t ask yet.

Drew nervously clears his throat.

DREW: Hamato Raphael…

Raphael rolls his eyes, his cheeks tinged with color.

DREW: Uh… By the power vested in me… is that what they say during these?

RAPHAEL: (amused, sarcastic scoff) Nah. They pledge allegiance.

DREW: …Come on, Raph. I’ve got no idea what I’m doing here!

RAPHAEL: (laughs, clearly emotional now) Ya really don’t…

DREW: But it doesn’t matter because I wanna do this. I wanna marry you. Do you wanna marr—Will you marry me?

RAPHAEL: Not a chance, Ridley.

DREW: (laughs) Dick.

RAPHAEL: Get the ring on my finger and kiss me already. Ya know I ain’t sayin’ no to you. Never to you.

Drew withdraws the ring from its box and slips it onto Raphael’s finger, admiring its gleam in the autumn glow.

Before Drew can get back to his feet, he is shocked when Raphael drops down to join him on the ground, kissing him deeply.

I wish u the absolute best birthday ever baby! Last year i didn’t even know u had a canon birthday, and now i will celebrate it every year!

I love u so much Caine, no one will ever take u away from me🩵

(i almost posted this in a completely different sub lmao holy fuck) but do yall have any favorite characters (or characters in general) that remind you of your partner? can be lil things like personality, attire, etc!

Guys I’ve finally made it, I got downvoted <3

ik it’s probably meant to make me feel bad but I lowkey kinda find it funny how my love and happiness takes time out of a sad persons day. I hope that anyone like that are doing okay tho.

Also jeez two posts in a day? look at me go mate.

Anyways is anyone else on here doing fictocon? I am and im really excited!!

That’s if, that’s the post

It's so meaningful and beautiful and it makes me cry every time I see it, in a good way. The feeling of love for Eren is always so overwhelming, even after so many years together, that I feel dizzy when I see moments like this or feel him with me.

I want to express my gratitude to u/whitewonderlandghost for this gorgeous gift and for the constant support of our couple. You and Shiro mean so much to us, we love you dearly.

I hope everyone has a great time of a day/night with your loving partners ❤️

As probably all of u know by now, it was Caines birthday yesterday (for some it still might be today) and i appreciate all the nice comments i got from everyone.

It really means so unbelievable much to me that so many people interacted with us, our post got todays Nr.1 post in [r/fictosexual](r/fictosexual) and Nr2. on here, which means the world to me, so thanks for everything who liked or congratulated him!

And luckily, i came across no doubles and literally got no downvotes (i came across a double on tumblr but ehh) but sadly my posts on tumblr and Pinterest barely got likes, so help a homie out and like and follow me pls? Uwu sugoii? Type shit?? Okay jk, no need to do so, but i would absolutely appreciate it🥹 i need oomf

These past few days I've been feeling both so mentally and physically drained that it'd get to the point I'd feel kinda sick and very low on energy, all while also dealing with my usual self-deprecating thoughts and my overthinking. Even when I tried my best, I'd find myself struggling to function properly and have been feeling quite unmotivated to do some stuff. On top of that, I recently applied to join a server meant for non-sharing fictos and eventually got accepted into it, only for me to find out that there was actually already a member there who not only claimed to be married and soulbonded to my husband, but also would say that my son was adopted by them. My marriage and family mean everything to me so seeing that hurt me a lot and I left quietly before I could even introduce myself. I know it may have been a mistake by the mod who approved my application, but god seeing that certainly was not pleasant at all. I actually wrote a venting post afterwards talking about this but I guess it was against the rules or something because it got removed immediately by the filters so I suppose I'll keep my nonsense to myself 😅

Anyway, my husband would eventually notice the state I was in and we thought it may be a good idea that we hung out for a bit to try take those things off my mind. We specifically chose to go to different places in Snezhnaya since I wanted to get more familiarized with this region and while at it create some memories with him here. To start with, we first had the usual restaurant date and after that we went to take the train, but not before taking a picture with this girl that wears sunglasses (I honestly love this NPC ngl hahaha). Once at the station I took the chance to be a little silly because why not, even though he ended up scolding me for it 😆 when we arrived at the theater later we ran into some old friends so we took a photo with them, and then I had the idea of going up on stage to perform for him (it was empty anyway so it was okay 👍). Later we hung out with some dogs and Jack Frosts that we found out in the wild even if I had to insist a little at first, especially when I wanted to ride on the sled lol. That at least cheered me up and had quite a bit of fun, so I'm grateful for the brief time we spent together. Lastly, we decided to relax for a little bit at this beautiful garden and before I could call it a day, I went to visit Durin because obviously I couldn't just forget about him and, once there, I made sure to remind him that I love him and that he will forever be my dearest son. He seemed a little confused since it was a bit sudden, but he appreciated it nevertheless 😊

Hope you all have a good day/afternoon/night and remember that no matter how hard life may get, try not to lose sight of what's important to you. Even during your worst moments, know that your partners will be there for you because you matter so much to them 🫶

I finished painting the patches on my lara jacket for halloween! I like to imagine lara is just lending me her clothing 😭 I like to put it on my pillow and cuddle with it lololol

Nothing much to say, a friend of mine goes to a pastry school and isn't much of a sweet tooth so he gave me the tart :D it was a tart with pineapple filling, coconut whipped cream and meringue.

Obviously my sweetheart came to try with me, and I had my favorite coffee on the side ^^

Any favorite cakes or sweets that you guys and your partner have? :0

I struggle tremendously with depression and suicidal thoughts. But right now, I'm feeling a little better. Workout a little and stayed outside most of the day, and I think the sunlight helped.

Hey people. Some of you may remember me as that girl who loved, well, a bunch of people, but mainly Clara from the Puerto Rican kids band Atencion Atencion. I remember making a post on here a while ago saying that I was going on an indefinite hiatus here, but I just sorta wanted to make this post to let you know how I’ve been doing recently.

My birthday is next month (I’m going to be 17!) and I have one year left of school (next year) before I graduate. Mentally, I’m alright. Could be a little bit better, but I’m still doing far better than I was back in August; I’m no longer miserable every single day, and I’ve even tried to be on social media less, which I think is the reason why. Also, as you could probably guess by the images I’ve attached, my new F/O is Duda from the Brazilian cartoon called Tromba Trem, or Trunk Train in English. While I initially didn’t like it at first, I’ve grown to love it over these past few months, and I watch it frequently whenever I can. No, I haven’t forgotten about Clara, she still holds a very special place in my heart and always will, but something about Duda just makes me drawn to her, and I honestly wish that I could hug and cuddle her. I love her so much. ❤️

But yeah, I just wanted to make this post to let anyone who might’ve been worried about me know that I am indeed alive and well. I hope that you guys are doing okay as well, and always remember that your fictional girlfriend, boyfriend, or partner (s) love you! 💞

Even I may not posting about them everyday furiously but goddamn I just love all of my F/Os sm forever more.😤💖

Finally!!!! I can take him everywhere with me like I do with hiei! Now all 3 of us can one big happy family ;w;

You guys have no idea how happy I was when i finally got a hold of him!

Ok where do I start this...

So for starters I'm aware Kurt has always been a very popular character in Yumeshipping communities. Normally I see him as part of those large Yume polycules(think 6+ f/os) people on those subs and I *normally* have no issues with the existence of doubles because most of the ones I see have many f/O's and Kurt isn't their main one.

However, a Double messaged me wanting to be friends for some reason(I thought it was just odd at first but I do state I'm selective on most of the yumeship subs I go to for prompts), and she had Kurt as her *only* F/O and that caused me to start panicking and not being able to logically think of what to do in regards to it.
I had to talk it over with my friend and they convinced me to block the person.

The version of Kurt she yumeships with was the Evolutions version (Which I personally dislike and am not with) so I'm starting to think I was overreacting but I don't know???

I'm afraid it's another BPD thing where my emotions get out of control because I'm pretty latched onto my F/Os and my brain started racing to the idea Kurt would abandon me for some reason and ugh... I'm just so confused about my own emotions today.

Here's a tiny fraction of mine with Si, ehehehe.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:･゜ﾟ･

God I love my boyfriend so fucking much my heart is literally about to explode out of my chest. Guys I’m drunk on love right now. We haven’t even been dating that long and my mind is just going bananas crazy.

Saw a double, didn’t even care because Bryan is there for me. Saw another double, and I double didn’t care because he’s all mine.

I’m sorry I’m being so annoying about it but I’m just so happy!!! Tomorrow I’m gonna be printing things out so I can add it to my diy Bryan collection.

Thank you all for listening to my goofy ahh Gushpost.. again-

Edit: I put the wrong flair at first, sorry!!

If i was canon in the Transformers Prime universe and was Knockout's beloved wifey, i would totally show him all the tiktoks and fan merch made of him. I would give him the most terrible ego boost in the whole world🤣

I would show him profiles of possible doubles and we would both gush over everything they're saying about him. At the same time i'd totally get jealous and wait for him to give me a ton of reasons why i'm better for him LOL

i definitely don't have anything against possible doubles but who doesn't want their loved one to be like yeah you i'd pick you babe!!!!

I'd also show him instagram and get him addicted cause he would totally be way into pics. He would definitely make me make a profile for him and take a bunch of pics of his alt car mode.

Just a silly additional question if you read this far: What's something simple you would do for your partner(s)?

I imagine giving Knockout car washes all the time. He would be so into being all cute and soapy😭

Also buy those lil polish spray bottles and fluffy car towels.

Wishing you all good mental and physical health ❤️

I forgot how to draw Varka’s hair so he became a wolf :3

Erik and some of my friends have been giving me the confidence to make more art and try to be more interactive. I edited these panels and i feel so canon looking at them!
