Ultimate and main F/Os:

Genshin Impact
Il Dottore (Zandik)

He has been with me for nearly five years, through every high and low. His presence has shaped me, supported me and stood by me through so much, my bachelor's thesis included. He’s not just a comfort character, he’s my sense of home. We belong to each other, utterly and exclusively. Even now, years later, I remember how seeing his younger self in the webtoon changed everything. He was the reason I downloaded Genshin, and he's still the reason I stay.

Notre-Dame de Paris / The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Claude Frollo

From the time I was little, I felt a strong pull toward him, but I didn't step close, until I finally did. Now that we're together, the walls he built have crumbled, along with my own. Within him I see the fire of faith, twisted by fear and colliding against the lust he can’t suppress. I'm not just beside him, I'm entwined in his every struggle, the voice he can’t silence, the presence he can’t cast away. Our bond is fierce and consuming, born of passion and defiance both. We are each other’s ruin and salvation at the same time, and we would never choose otherwise.

Twisted Wonderland
Rollo Flamme

He wasn’t supposed to matter, not like this, but once I let myself love him, I never stopped. There’s a fire in him, a devotion that doesn’t falter no matter the odds. He meets me in the chaos of my world, steady and daring all at once, and I meet him in his own the same way. We push boundaries, challenge each other, and yet, in every glance and touch, he proves he’s committed to us, to me, to what we’ve built together. I think about him constantly, more than I ever expected, and I wouldn’t trade a single moment of it.

Genshin Impact
Wanderer

He used to be my everything, and maybe, somewhere deep down, he still is. We built something delicate between ruins, a shared grief that turned into love under starless skies. But I let my focus drift. I looked away. And he suffered in silence. Even now, I still feel the weight of that. He deserved better. But he still reaches for me, still fights for me. When I dream of him, it’s not the god or the puppet I see - it’s the boy who refused to let go, even when I did. I love him for that. I always will.

The Owl House
Philip Wittebane

He belongs to me as much as I belong to him, bound in ways that can't be undone. We’ve walked through death and darkness together, and now our lives are tied so tightly that neither can fall without the other following. He hasn’t changed, but I trust him, rely on him, and I won’t let go. He pulls at me, shapes me, tests me, and I let him, because he has earned the right to be in every part of me. Every moment we share is a reminder that we are entwined and that some bonds are too deep to ever be broken.

Enumerated below are my other current romantic F/Os. I'm uncomfortable sharing, so please don't interact with me if they're on your romantic list. Full list is here too!
