hi dan^^ i love your prompt event, it’s so hard to choose :( but i managed to come up with this!!

Character: Diluc Ragnvindr

Prompt 1: Yansheng teahouse

Prompt 2: "___ loves you, you know? he's/she's/they're just afraid of admitting it."

Genre: night & dawn

Format: rainy

Prompt idea: Diluc and reader fake dates so that diluc can avoid marriage offers, but they have a rule to not fall in love with each other! They caught feelings for each other as time passes which causes them to stop talking and drift apart so they’re like strangers now. So, Kaeya comforts reader when reader comes asking him what had gone wrong, and diluc saw the both of them together so he got jealous and impulsively admits his feelings :3

Oops i think i went overboard with the prompt idea that’s a long request :0 stay safe and i hope your illness goes away!! <33

PENPAL SERVICE... MAIN MASTERLIST || 7K MILESTONE EVENT (closed) || 7K MILESTONE MASTERLIST (coming soon!)

For someone like Diluc, it’s no surprise that he’d gain marriage offers.

The man doesn’t accept any of them of course, not when he has a lot of things to prioritize on and isn’t interested in marrying for business. He makes sure his responses are polite but firm, enough for those who offered said marriages to understand that he’s not looking for a spouse anytime soon.

But sometimes, Diluc can’t help but feel irritated from the fact that these marriage offers are increasing – to the point where every single party he has thrown or invited in includes at least three or more marriage offers here and there.

You are not oblivious to his irritation.

If there’s one thing people know about the nobleman’s personal life besides the tragedy of his father’s death and past affiliations with the Knights of Favonius, it’s the fact that you’re perhaps one of the only people whose close friends with the man.

It’s unexpected, really. An adventurer who doesn’t even like alcohol and has no relations of family nobility is somehow friends with the tycoon of a winery empire and the wealthiest man of Mondstadt? How peculiar!

Well to be fair, it’s all thanks to Diluc’s adventures before his comeback in the city that led him to meet you. You happen to be staying in Snezhnaya for a long time as an adventurer, wishing that you could go back to your homeland Mondstadt, and manage to find yourself catch the red-haired man walking towards what could’ve been death’s doors. Not only did you save him from a near death experience and heal him, you also helped him take down countless of Fatui hideouts, camps, strongholds, and the list goes on. So it’s no doubt that the both of you have a lot of chemistry – as friends of course.

When Diluc asked if you could come with him to Mondstadt and continue your adventures with him there, you didn’t even hesitate to say yes.

So here you are, listening to him as he talks about his irritation on the marriage-offer problems as he asks for your advice. Only for your one brain cell to think of one idea.

“Why not pretend you’re in a relationship with someone?” You suggested casually, taking a sip of your favorite juice. “I mean, you don’t exactly have to act with someone, you can just lie that you don’t want to say who your partner is with an excuse that you rather keep it private. Surely that will at least lessen those offers if not all of them.”

To your surprise, the man actually considered your suggestion.

The next day, the biggest news began to spread across the city of freedom. “The Uncrowned King of Mondstadt is no longer single!”

Some weep over this news in heartbreak, some gossip and theorize on how long this has been going on, some rejoice in happiness for Diluc, and some simply live life not caring about such news.

Despite these different reactions, everyone has one thing in common about this sudden news: who’s the lucky person that owns the aloof tycoon’s heart?

No one knew, not even those who are close with the man, not even Kaeya Alberich himself – who’s just as curious as everyone else about this mystery (or so he claims).

Regardless, Diluc is glad he’s no longer receiving any marriage offers.

To thank you for your wonderful suggestion, Diluc offers you to have dinner with him in Dawn Winery as gratitude, to which you eagerly accepted from just hearing the opportunity of having free food, unaware that the both of you had made a mistake.

Donna was more or less heartbroken about this turn of events and wanted to distract her broken heart away by offering to gather more flowers for Flora’s shop, to which the little girl gladly accepted such an offer, hence how she found herself picking some windwheel asters near Dawn Winery.

It was perhaps around 18:00 when Donna heard certain familiar voices, one of which belongs to the man she fell in love with and the other belongs to a person she considers as a friend.

Not anymore, it seems.

The woman lets out a soft gasp when she catches you and Diluc walking together towards his beloved home, talking about only Celestia knows as Donna’s too busy being shocked at this scene of events.

No way… You’re his spouse?!

The woman can’t help but look at the way Diluc stares at you as you continue talking. The way his lips twitches slightly upward at the sounds of your laugh, the way your hands are too close to one another, the way you both look so..!

She quickly hides near the bushes when she catches you looking at her direction, her heart beating fast from nearly being caught and from the shock she felt at this discovery. How.. How could you do this to her? You knew her feelings and yet you stole Diluc! What did she do to you?!

She has to tell someone about this.

And that someone ended up being Traveler and Paimon.

“Oh please, Traveler! How could ( Name ) do this to me!” She wails aloud as Traveler and Paimon try to calm her down. “I can’t believe those two are together, please wake me up from this nightmare–”

“Calm down, Donna! What did ( Name ) do to you?!” Paimon exclaims.

“They’re with Diluc! They’re the mystery spouse that Diluc’s in love with!” She wails once again, covering her face with her two hands. The two heroes look at each other in confusion. Since when did you and Diluc started dating?!

“Donna, you’ve probably mistaken it–”

“No, no! I saw them walking together to Dawn Winery yesterday – they were almost holding hands a-and Diluc was almost smiling!” Okay, maybe Donna’s just exaggerating on that part, but who cares?! She’s too heartbroken to add that part!

As Traveler and Paimon try their best to calm Donna down and reassure her that her so-called nightmare isn’t real, the three were unaware of just how loud the woman has been, not noticing how a few people around the area were listening to every single thing, especially a particular captain who was just simply passing by.

Thanks to Donna, another piece of news has spread wildfire just as much as the previous one. “The Uncrowned King of Mondstadt’s unknown spouse is a high-ranking adventurer?!”

This time, you and Diluc were actually unaware of this rumor, so it’s safe to say you’re surprised when you’re swarmed by people congratulating you and questioning you the next day after your dinner with your friend.

When you asked one of them what’s going on, they questioned you if you’re truly Diluc’s mystery spouse all along, causing your jaws to drop in shock. You? Dating the Diluc Ragnvindr himself? Please, that’s as impossible as getting to meet Barbatos himself!

Before you could deny such claims, you were suddenly dragged away by someone and ran away from the crowd, and that someone happens to be Diluc himself, who manages to go unnoticed by everyone who was surrounding you.

It took at least a minute before you found yourself hiding in an alley with him, the both of you panting from running.

“Diluc? What in Teyvat is going on?” You spoke, looking at the man with panic. “What did you do?”

The man shrugs in response, looking at you with an apologetic look. “Believe me when I say that I’m not responsible for this, I’m just as confused as you are with this turn of events.”

Your eyes widen even more. “What…? Then who’s responsible for this rumor?!”

“I’m not sure either, but I don’t think this rumor will go away anytime soon.”

Your heart sinks. “So… What are we going to do?”

Diluc stays silent. From the look on his face, you could tell the man already has a plan in mind, but you aren’t too sure if the plan is a good one from the way he’s hesitating to spill it.

Before he could spill one though, you suddenly thought of an idea. “We could act like it!”

Diluc looks at you in confusion. “I don’t understand.”

You then stopped, now realizing what you just said as you look away in embarrassment. “Actually nevermind, that sounds crazy.”

“What is it?”

You slowly look back at him sheepishly. “We could act like… a couple.”

Both of you fell silent.

He blinks a few times, unsure if he heard you right. Did you just say you two could act like you’re together? In a romantic relationship?

Now that you think about it, not only will you often face people talking to you about Diluc, you’ll also have to pretend you’re actually in love with him – who is for sure out of your reach and too good to be your lover – as well as being the center of gossips and news, so it’s obvious you’d reject such a ridiculous offer.

But then again, it also brought a few benefits for your dear friend, who you want to help badly.

Your pretend relationship could completely wipe out all upcoming marriage offers for Diluc himself, giving your friend to be able to breathe from all of that useless offers he doesn’t have to waste his time on when he has other priorities. Not only that, you could make sure that man will provide free food and hopefully free alcohol in return for this fiasco – besides, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like you two have to actually kiss or anything–

“It’s… not a bad idea, I suppose.” Diluc spoke up, causing your eyes to widen. “Of course, we must set some boundaries with this as well as a few rules, but that’s only if you’re also sure with this… suggestion of yours.”

You can’t help but feel your cheeks warm. Are you guys actually doing it? Are you actually going to experience being in a romantic relationship with an untouchable man like Diluc even if it’s fake?!

“As long as you’re okay with this, I’m fine with it as well.”

The red-haired man slowly nods. “Let’s do it then.”

After spending a long night talking and discussing about your plans and rules, you and Diluc have finally come to terms and shook hands with one another.

To break it down, there’ll obviously be times when you and Diluc have to act like a couple, specifically when being in parties, out in city streets, and in the tavern whenever you visit. There are limits with showing affection to one another and will only have to speak fake sweet nothings if need be, either have one arm linked to the other or hold hands, and yada yada. What’s not allowed are kissing, telling details of your relationship that the other party didn’t approve of yet, being in a relationship with someone else, and of course: don’t fall in love with each other.

You weren’t affected by the last rule, because as far as you can tell, you don’t see Diluc that way – and he feels the same, so the chances of falling in love with him is zero.

As soon as you two are seen entering the city of freedom while holding hands the next day, everyone goes crazy. So Donna was right about seeing you and Diluc being a couple!

Many people had questions, which all went ignored by the both of you as you played the part of being a cute couple, faking a loving smile as you two laugh along to nothingness. If you weren’t so busy looking at Diluc as if you’re in love, you would’ve noticed how Donna was holding onto a flower tightly in jealousy and disbelief. Huh, why does it sound like there’s someone wailing–?

“You’re doing good.” Diluc whispers, his hushed voice wakes you up from your distracting thoughts.

You smile cheekily. “You too. People are buying our act.”

As you two bid each other farewell as soon as you arrived at your destination in the Adventurers’ Guild Headquarters your pretend romance ended and you two went on with your day.

This went on for the next month.

Everyone got used to seeing you and Diluc together, some would gush at how cute you two look, some would scoff in jealousy, some would be happy for you two to end up together, and some would not care about the whole thing and went on with their lives.

You’re honestly surprised you and Diluc have been going at it for this long. Eventually your daily act stitches into your life, and you can’t find the heart to remove it. This whole thing hasn’t done anything bad to you as far as you’re concerned, so you don’t see any reason why you should stop it.

Besides that, for some reason, someone managed to figure out that you and Diluc were faking your romance.

Yep, you guessed it – it’s Kaeya.

You weren’t exactly that surprised about it, just relief in fact. Had it been someone else, like Donna per say, you could only imagine the amount of marriage offers Diluc could get in a span of a week!

It’s nice though, you admit. You don’t have to expect Kaeya to ask you about you and Diluc’s relationship and you could talk about it as long as you want (you trust that he wouldn’t spread rumors about the truth, not when you hint a threat about making sure he won’t touch any alcohol in his life ever again).

If anything, all Kaeya did was to tease about how silly it was, never expecting his brother of all people to actually be that person who pretends they’re in a relationship, something that made you snort. He even offered you some advice on how to make things “believable”, something that is actually quite helpful in your opinion.

Meanwhile, inside Dawn Winery resides Diluc who busies himself with paperwork, thinking about a lot of things, such as when’s the next scheduled items coming from other lands, a new drink he could possibly do, if whether or not you’re doing okay out there with your commissions, when you two will act like a couple again..

The red-haired man finds his thoughts traveling to images of you holding his hand as you look at him with a genuine smile, you teasingly spoon feeding him with an excuse of “making the act more believable” as you two sat across from one another in Good Hunter, you watching him make beverages across the counter with your chin on the palm of your hand whilst chatting about how exhausting your work has been and that you needed your favorite drink of his to cheer you up, you focusing deeply as you heal his injuries with your first-aid, laughing from talking about everyone’s reactions while the both of you ate dinner together in Dawn Winery on a quiet night, helping him roast some food as the both of you relax around the campfire after dealing with the abyss together–

Diluc stops writing for a moment. Since when has his heart been beating so fast? Is the room getting hotter or is it just him? Why does his stomach feel..

Oh.

Oh fuck.

The red-haired man covers half of his face with his hand, and thanks to how he isn’t currently wearing his gloves, he could tell just how warm his cheeks are.

He leans against his chair, heart sinking in realization.

He’s in love.

…

What is he going to do?

He finds himself sitting across from you in Dawn Winery, with you telling him about how Kaeya already knew about the both of you as you laugh about what the Cavalry Captain said back then, not noticing the way the man looks conflicted from something that’s not your conversation.

“And then I was literally sc–”

“We should stop this.” He interrupts.

Your words trail off when you hear what he said, looking at him with slightly wide eyes. Stop? Stop what?

“What do you mean?” You ask. “We could uh, talk about something else if you–?”

“We should stop the act.”

Your mouth opens agape, blinking a few times as you try to process his words. “O-Oh? Alright? What made you want to stop it?”

“There’s no more reason for us to continue this. We can just say we broke up due to our busy schedule.” Diluc explains. You raise an eyebrow at how his words have some icy touch, as if he’s back to being the distant fighter that you once met in the cold snow of Snezhnaya, but you didn’t bother pointing that out.

“...So does this mean we won’t have to act as if we’re a couple anymore?”

“Yes.”

Your face falls. Why are you sad about it? Shouldn’t you be happy that another problem of your friend has gone away?

“...I see…”

The rest of the night was awkward to say the least.

True to his word, the both of you had stopped acting after that night. You no longer have to expect seeing Diluc waiting for you by the gates for him to escort you to wherever you’re going, having to hold his hand while faking loving smiles nor wrap your arm around his, visiting his home daily to have your free dinner and chat with the man, everything you and Diluc had done together for your fiasco was gone just like that.

What actually affected you was how you could no longer find him since then for the past few weeks. Instead of seeing him doing his job in Angel’s Share, you see Charles greeting you instead and make your usual order. You also couldn’t find him when he’s outside protecting Mondstadt at late hours, leaving you no choice but to go back to your home earlier than usual. You also couldn’t meet him in Dawn Winery whenever you visit the place to check on the staff if they needed anything, something about how “Master Diluc is currently involved with a lot of work needed to do.”

Huh… Is this what a breakup feels like?

When you lay down on your bed, your heart sort of aches just from thinking about him. Did you do something wrong? Is it really a bit of a coincidence for Diluc to be so busy after breaking things off?

You admit, you missed seeing his face almost everyday as you played pretend with him. You missed him escorting you around the city and to your home whenever he could, you missed him talking highly of you as people ask him about you while you’re beside him feeling flattered, you missed his shocked face whenever you do something unexpected with an excuse of “this is what some couples do!” in public, you missed your dinner nights together as his payment for having you do this whole crazy shenanigan with him, you missed watching him focus on patching you up after a rough night of fighting the Abyss, you missed everything with Diluc before and after this pretend situation.

To think that he could just end this whole thing with a snap of his fingers.. It’s a little sad.

Maybe it’s just you who felt a little bit of something from his affections even when they’re false, hence why Diluc could end this so easily because he didn’t feel anything about it.

You close your eyes with a deep breath, accepting in defeat that not only did you somehow lose your friend and something you’ve grown used to, but you had also fallen in love with Diluc Ragnvindr over this stupid fake relationship.

What broke your heart even further was when you saw him together with Jean a few times when you were outside of Mondstadt, the two of them strolling down Windwail Highland while talking about something you couldn’t hear.

Whatever it is, you think you figured out a reason why he ended it.

He wants to court Jean.

You ran away to your home that night, clutching the cloth on your chest with clenched teeth as you tried not to cry in heartbreak. How could you be so foolish? He wouldn’t see you that way, you’re indeed out of his level and not better than Jean, who everyone in Mondstadt loves, has a good relationship with him, has everything you don’t – Your thoughts was flooded with insecurities and negativity throughout the night until you fell asleep, only for you to wake up the next morning miserably.

Meanwhile, Diluc was going through the same thing as you.

Even when he’s avoiding you as if you’re a plague, his thoughts of you never left him at all. If anything, it plagues him every single day more than usual as he wonders about you and your well-being.

He wanted to come back to you, to officially make this fake relationship a real thing.

But how?

He doesn’t know why he’s coming to Jean of all people, but his other choices weren’t better, so he really didn’t have a choice but to come up to the woman.

Thankfully, Jean was glad to help him sort out his feelings with her knowledge from reading so many romance novels. She helped him find a way to confess his feelings, apologize for avoiding you and for hurting your feelings, and to realize how he should cherish his feelings and that he should seize the opportunity of winning your heart!

However, by about a week or two, Diluc hears a few.. Rumors.

He hears from chattering adventurers in the streets about how you’re often seen doing your commissions with the Cavalry Captain, something that made his heart drop to the ground in shock. Since when did you two start doing commissions together? And as far as Diluc knows, Kaeya is not an adventurer, so why could you two be…?

No…

No.

Diluc tries not to imagine you and Kaeya being together. He can’t help but feel his heart ache even more at the thought of how you’re definitely better off with Kaeya, someone who isn’t busy with his duties as often as Diluc is, someone who could comfort you and love you with words even Diluc couldn’t say, someone who surely knows how to treat you well and better than him–

No, he can’t assume such things. He has to see this for himself.

On the other hand, you were so focused on wondering about Diluc that you didn't realize the smallest things.

One, there wasn’t news spreading wildfire about you and the man officially breaking things off as a couple for the past few weeks, something you should’ve noticed given that people would’ve swarm around you once again, and two, a certain Captain’s the only one who noticed the way you and DIluc have been acting.

When Kaeya asked you about it while you walked around the outskirts of Mondstadt together one night, you finally broke down and confessed everything.

“I don’t understand what has gone wrong so much.. Was this fake relationship affecting him that he wanted to end our friendship for it?!” You spoke with your lips trembling. “I just… I just miss hanging out with him, you know? He’s the reason why I was able to come back here from Snezhnaya and the only friend I had before meeting you and everyone else.”

You continue to sob about your woes towards Kaeya, unaware of how the man’s purposefully pulling you closer to him not out of comfort, but out of hopes of making a certain watcher do something about it as the blue-haired man hides a smirk on his face.

His plan certainly worked, especially when Diluc came out from hiding and was storming towards the two of you with narrowed eyes at the sight of Kaeya’s smirk.

However, the red-haired man stops his tracks instantly when he hears your sob, this time, he can now hear you from where he’s standing.

You then let out a shaky breath, trying to ignore your aching heart. “The worst part is.. I fell in love with him.”

As you miserably cover your face with your hands, Kaeya rubs your back comfortingly, glancing back to see Diluc staring at you in disbelief. “Don’t be like that, dearest ( Name ). Diluc loves you too, you know? He’s just afraid of admitting it. I’m sure of it.” He reassures you.

“How would you know? He’s probably in love with Jean – who’s so much better than me.” You spoke with a pained look.

“She’s not better than you.”

You let out a gasp when you heard Diluc’s voice, turning around to see him standing not too far away from you. How long has he been–?!

He takes a few steps closer. “I.. I apologize for avoiding you. I just couldn’t face you after what we did because I was confused about… everything.”

You didn’t mind how Kaeya moved away from you, continuing to stare at the man you fell in love with unexpectedly. “Everything? What do you mean..?” You asked.

“I’m in love with you, ( Name ).” He confesses, now face to face with you as his eyes soften. “I broke off our fake act because I fell in love. I couldn’t bear to let it continue when I knew I would’ve fallen harder for you and possibly delude myself into thinking it’s real and genuine.”

Your eyes widen, feeling like the wind has knocked your breath away from his confession.

He then holds your hands together. “I came to Jean to help me figure things out and my mind has been cleared thanks to her. I never loved the Acting Grandmaster, ( Name ) – it’s you who I’m in love with.”

You felt your mouth open agape from your discovery. “I… I don’t know what to say. So you weren’t avoiding me because you felt uncomfortable–?”

“No, no, no, of course not.” Diluc quickly reassures you. “If anything, you’re the only person who could make me feel this comfortable. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve not been looking forward to coming back to Mondstadt so much. I would’ve not work in Angel’s Share as often as I did just so we could talk – I wouldn’t even have been this devoted to our fake relationship. I didn’t realize sooner that what I’m feeling with you is love.” You couldn’t help but feel shocked at how Diluc’s so.. Talkative.

He slowly cups your cheek with one hand, the other still holding your hands. “I love you, ( Name ). I’ll always love you, I’ll always love your smile, your jokes even if they don’t make others laugh, your adventurous spirit, your weird ideas and suggestions – I’ll always will.”

“Why…? You could be with someone else who’s better than me–”

Diluc shakes his head in disagreement. “There’s no one else because I don’t want anyone else but you, ( Name ).”

He then kneels down, causing you to gasp.

“So please ( Name ).. Would you forgive me for being foolish and accept my love?”

You can’t help but glance at Kaeya’s direction, who was watching the whole thing with a smile on his face, before looking back at Diluc.

You slowly smile with a light-hearted laugh, tackling the wine tycoon with a hug.

“Of course, I will, you dork.”

The next day, as Mondstadt has come to see another beautiful day, people around the city began to notice the sight of you and Diluc walking once again with your arm wrapped around his, causing most to gush about how cute the two of you are, unaware of how this time, this one action is genuine and real, just as much as how your love for each other is now.

Belos/Philip meeting reader in the episode where they go into the tide pools episode is called any where and elsewhere I think also reader is male and it’s romantic and Philip is a huge simp lol

Oh gods that's one of my favorite episodes!!! His poor nose, but Ngl in makes him hot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[This is gonna be short ans sweet because I honestly couldn't think of anything for the longest time if you couldn't tell "OwO]

Luz is readers sibling

You honestly hand no idea where you were, one minute you were with Luz and lilith and the next you were on a beach.

You wondered trying to find your little sister but to no avail.

That was until you heard her yelling that's when you had to step in.

You saw her, lilith, and a strange man with a very big beard, he looked human like you and luz.

You walked over and greeted your sister and lilith along with the strange man who called himself philip, he asked for your help in finding something so like the good people you were you accepted.

He took you all to a temple (I dont remember much of this episode since it's been a while since I watched TOH but bear with me please)

You were amazed by the architecture it looked so dystopian, it was beautiful.

You didnt even catch Philip staring at you, he seemed to grow a liking to you. Philip wanted to know more about you.

Soon the doors opened and out came a monster you were mad and reasonably so, a man you half heartedly trusted tried to sacrifice you, your sister, and aunt!

After the whole ordeal you watched as your aunt punched him and left along with your sister, you'll catch up to them in a minute but you had one last thing to say before you left.

You got real close to his face and looked dead into his eyes before saying:

"If I ever see you again, I will do a lot worse than breaking your nose"

You left him to his thoughts his heart pounding, he'll definitely look for you. Until then he has to get stronger and reach his goals.

{Hope you liked this anon! Hearts and reblogs are always welcomed, along with questions,comments, and requesrs.}

Hello! I've recently been binged reading your human illustrator wally series and I love it-!! It's amazing, and I think it would be cool to see your perception of the others too-!! That is if your comfortable to do so! Amazing work and im excited to see more in the future

I'll do my best! OwO I'll try to make it a bit short, but no promises lol. There is a bit of extra Wally info, too, simply because some of it pertains to other characters.

Human Illustrator Wally AU Character Info:

TW: Brief Mentions of Trauma/Possible Trauma, Past Bullying, Mentions of Delusions, Anxiety, and Paranoia

🖍️ Wally, alongside Barnaby and Howdy, went to a school that mainly consisted of richer families. It was kind of a school for "gifted" kids, and by "gifted" it means "both gifted, but mainly kids if families who PAID to be here". Wally and Barnaby's families paid for them to be there, while Howdy scored high enough in public school to be offered a genuine placement there. The school was a k-12 private school.

🖍️ Wally, even as a young kid, was extremely talented at art. Barnaby... well, Barnaby never really found a talent. What he doesn't realize is that he is actually pretty good at socializing and analyzing people. It was a part of the reason why he drifted towards Wally. He could tell that Wally was pretty lonely and wanted to help. Howdy drifted towards the both of them after being transferred from his public school, because the other children tended to bully him for coming from a poor family and not being able to afford trendy clothes. Howdy has a natural talent in marketing, being great at selling you basically anything. A part of it comes from how he felt he had to make excuses on why he had "cheap" items, such as a very basic lunch or a tattered bookbag.

🐛 Howdy's family was below the poverty line. Due to this his extended family either lived with them to help provide for everyone, or lived nearby to be there to fall back on. This has caused him to have a very close relationship with his family and to be hugely family oriented. His wife passed away, leaving him with their daughter, Henny. He treats her to whatever he can afford, often putting her needs before his own. He doesn't see himself as needing a lot of money, because he always saw how the more rich kids at the private school were mostly snobbish, besides Barnaby and Wally. He believes a good heart is more valuable than anything in the world.

🐾 Barnaby has always dreamed of being a comedian, however, he just can't come up with the right jokes or stunts to make people laugh. He usually starts out alright, before spiraling from both anxiety and believing that he messed up the joke and now has to explain it in vivid detail, thus ruining what good he had. He's determined, though, for better AND for worse. For better, because he has been practicing and practicing, making his jokes slightly better than before. For worse, because he soon became on the brink of being homeless. When Wally offered him a room in his house, he was forever grateful. He was also the first out of the group to figure out that Wally has hallucinations. Although he is unsure of exactly HOW he can help, he knows a few things that he can guess WON'T help, and to avoid doing those things. So, he tries his best to make Wally more comfortable whenever things get bad.

🎀 Julie LOVES fashion, of course, as a fashion designer. She especially loves the aesthetic of Childcore fashion. So, that is the bulk of the clothes she designs. She rarely puts the logo of her company on the clothes she designs, besides the tag. She believes that doing that would not only ruin the design, but be a bit devious, especially for the children's clothing designs. She doesn't want her clothing to make people walking advertisements! She wants her clothing to make people FASHIONABLE. She met the others through a brand deal, where her, Wally and Sally were working together on a show.

🌟 Sally is both a movie and play director. It usually goes that she will make a play, then make a movie out of that play. For her, the play is the most valuable form of the story, but she is well aware that some simply have trouble enjoying plays. For many, they simply do not have the imagination to fill in the details of the background details. So, the movie will help provide them a more entertaining version of the show. She can be a bit of a diva while directing people, but can always figure out when she has become too harsh and accidentally hurt someone's feelings. In those cases, she tries her best to make it up to them. She can also be a bit overdramatic, in both a good and a bad way. She wants her life to be more entertaining, like a real life show, and finds it difficult to cope with how bland the world seems to be compared to the stories she tells. So, when she met Wally and Julie on the show they were working together on, she knew she had to become their friends. They both seemed, to her, like they walked right out of a children's show.

🕊️ Poppy is as shy and anxious as ever. Now, though, she isn't too anxious to make the baked goods she comes up with herself. She has even made by Eros cooking shows with her skills. Before she found her passion of cooking and baking, however, she actually worked as a nurse. Seeing the injuries of some of her patients was what made her grow more anxious and accident wary in the first place. Eventually, she quit her job and moved back in with her family for a bit, before turning to cooking as a coping mechanism. She soon, unknowingly, became extremely good at baking and cooking meals for her family. She decided to make it into a career, when her friends and family got her to go onto a competitive cooking show and won. Then, her career as a cooking star rose up, eventually causing her to meet the others.

✉️ Eddie and Frank are both "outside" of the group. They aren't celebrities. Eddie is still just the clumsy mailman we know and love. In this specific AU, however, he has a form of ataxia that he inherited at birth. Ataxia, in a very basic explanation for those who may not know, is a condition that causes difficulty with walking and balance, coordination, speech and swallowing, and eye movements. His case is very mild, and he is receiving any available treatments he can get his hands on, but it still causes some difficulty with walking and having to make sudden, coordinated movements.

🦋 Frank is the local librarian. In fact, he owns the library. He met Eddie after ordering some books for the library, with him realizing his packages arrived from hearing Eddie trip and drop the heavy packages to the ground outside. Frank, to be frank (pun intended), was quite upset until Eddie explained his condition. After that, they slowly became friends as Frank ordered more and more packages of books to fill the library on time for its opening day. After a few years of them talking, they ended up getting into a relationship and marrying each other. To a little surprise, it was a blue haired stranger that ended up helping them out along the way, by giving love advice to them both before they asked each other out (Cough cough WALLY cough cough BUT NEITHER OF THEM RECOGNIZED HIM cough cough).

🏠 Home is just a little voice in Wally's head. A malicious one, that is. Wally's house itself seems to act as a sort of "trigger" for this specific voice, which is why Wally has nicknamed it Home. It causes an array of problems for him, from filling his mind with anxieties to even planting the seeds for brief bouts of delusion from time to time. As of recent, the delusion aspect has not been as common. Wally has found ways to ground himself back in reality, so those episodes have grown shorter and shorter. The main problems that Home causes at this point in time are anxiety and paranoia. Wally has never shared this fact, but he believes that the reason why his own house seems to be triggering Home is because he had a bad experience in his family's home when he was very little. However, Wally isn't entirely sure that his theory is true. All he knows is that Home only really talks to him whenever he is in his house, usually when he is alone in a room.

Hello my lovelies. Happy holidays!!

Sorry for being a bit late with your Christmas present but here I have a drawing of Lin Beifong!! I hope y’all like it!! Took me roughly 4.5 hours to complete it so I hope y’all like it.

I’m sure if we’re in any discord groups together, you’ve already heard about my evil Lin, but if you haven’t, oop- owo I won’t say anymore yet skdksjkdjskdjksjdksj

Anyways here, have a Lin Beifong. And below the line, you could read some HC’s about Linny and the holidays 🥺

Here are some hc’s I have for holiday Lin!

Lin is the type of person that would spend a lot of money getting the people she loves, presents for the holidays, but when she receives a rather expensive gift she is ready to murder you for spending that much.

Lin pretends she doesn’t care for the holidays but she does listen to what you want for the holidays. You could be mindlessly be babbling on and on about what you want or what you’ve seen and Lin always makes a mental note on it.

Her first year without Tenzin or her family, Lin had covered so many shifts during the holidays, she was given a new Sato vehicle by everyone helping in and giving it to Lin after the holidays were over. They thanked Lin, gave her a party and said she was the nicest person in the precinct, tho that was before Lin showed them other wise.

During the years, Lin always allowed her men to take the holidays off and would cover their shifts, even if it was beat cop work. She always enjoyed the way her boys perked up hearing they were allowed time off at their work.

Lin would throw a party for the people that worked during the holidays, she’d always have food ready for her men, drinks, holiday themed treats and sometimes even gifts she got for them. The gifts always included either pairs of socks, gift cards for food or even a nice bottle of whiskey.

Her boys adored Lin and knew under her hard, cold exterior she was nice and very thoughtful. It became a tradition to fill Lin’s office up with random stuff every year. One year it was fancy coats, the next turtle ducks, and so on and so forth. Though the year of the turtle ducks had to be their favorite it because Lin chased the little ducklings around making sure they weren’t squished. They’ve never seen Lin ever hold an animal but that year they saw Lin look so caring for her now new babies.

When Lin would look at her city from the roof tops, her men would take turns checking in on Lin, giving her hot chocolate breaks, snack breaks and even warming her hands up.

When Mako began his job at the precinct, he was confused on why Lin only had them do “paperwork” instead of actual police business. He was even more confused when Lin told him to shut up and party. It wasn’t until later they explained that Lin always threw a party during the holidays for the people that either don’t have families, homes or don’t celebrate the holidays. And when Lin gave Mako not only a nice coat and gloves but also a gift card to one of the best dry cleaners in the city for his scarf to make sure it’s always in good condition and cleaned.

Soon Mako got into the spirit of things at work and he loved his job more. When he and Lin grew closer and he began to see Lin as some sort of mother figure, he one day gave Lin a scarf. Everyone knew Lin would never wear such a thing but were surprised when she wore it. Now Lin and Mako matched and it was a bond.

Lin may not have a family anymore but her men were hers, they were her family and Lin couldn’t be happier.

Alright if you enjoyed that then please let me know in the comments and let me know if you want more! And as for the evil Lin thing I mentioned on top, I’ll let you know more after the holidays!! Thank you and Happy Holidays!

And here are some sketches!! All art is mine, if repost please credit. Thanks UwU

What in the anime lightning crackling between eyes

OWO perhaps….Eldar spotted???

guilliman: when other people use "the ends justify the means and doing bad things to get good results is based, actually" as an excuse, it's cringe guilliman: when i do it, it's fine

ELDAR SPOTTED!!!!

I mean it was a more tolerant age the same way dying from salmonella poisoning is better than dying from lingchi

well idk maybe Ultramar back in the day was less xenophobic than the empire was in general oh lovely it's a tzeentchian daemon …man i love it when an author goes "hey, actually, consequentialism sucks"

time for us to meet a normal human living on a Nurglite planet ….the main thing that being in the Imperium has over being in Nurgle's dominion is the possibility, however slim it might be, that things will get better for you and in general reading this makes it abundantly clear why Nurgle would be so popular on a hive world if your suffering is guaranteed, then at least you can have guaranteed happiness with it of course "get well soon" is a nurglite curse

oh its time for mortarion to commune through the fungus with typhus this whole conversation is just:

back to nurgle demon shenanigans with ku'gath

he's so delightful for once everyone else is sad but he's not enjoying it also it's time for baby fights two with rotigus and ku'gath this is reminding me of interactions i had with my sister when we were both like 10 or under

amazing incredible 10/10

(on the topic of blorbos where is Voiiiii I want Voi point of view why are the sisters of silence being slept on) psyker dude: it is physically painful being in the same room as guilliman because of his stress and depression

see, the thing about a cult of reason is that you're turning reason into a cult

Donas: Humans don't need gods because all gods are evil and from the warp Natase: #notallgods okay this is interesting and is covering something i've been curious about which is how godhood and faith work and i was right haha! so, some gods are created from faith, some are completely faith-independent, some don't need faith but get power from it nonetheless

from what i saw in the other books it seems like the faith and the emperor's power were originally separate, which is weird well kind of like the power that came from people's faith in the emperor, was independent of the emperor himself and my theory was that it's got to do with humanity being a psychic species and the warp is "your mind makes it real" and then since the faith had a specific focus (the emperor) it became attached to him and became a self-sustaining cycle

someone pick up the phone because I called it

it's entirely possible to become a god against your own will and then get shaped by what people believe you to be natase: the incident with the girl driving back demons might have been actually you all along

guilliman: it's not enough i have to deal with everything else, but this too guilliman: nope. i reject this. guilliman: okay. okay. guilliman: ok so if the Emperor really is a god now, what does this mean for our strategy? pffff typical guilliman also i am proud of him here he's actually using reason! rather than blindly turning "reason" into a dogma and avoiding uncomfortable truths.

and now back to ku'gath once again loving some of the imagery "the hospital walls slumped like corpses" actually thinking on the subject, could Shiki kill a chaos god

tattleslug: look everyone knows you hate everyone tattleslug: it's not a secret at all

actually wait we're back to guilliman again and im cackling he's Done

custodes dude: this is a bad idea guilliman: k guilliman: i will walk you through my reasoning one more time custodes dude: you already- guilliman: since you're making me put up with you constantly bugging me, you will have to put up with hearing me repeatedly explain things guilliman: also my final reason is if i don't get to do violence to something i am going to snap

What is your favourite Movie?- owo

Hmmm, simple but kinda lot

At first in this generation, Spider verse was amazing when I watch at the theater with my sisters. All the designs characters looks cool though. As soon this movie was already out, all the Internet has been filled with Miguel O' hara (Like a lot ●-●). I'm pretty normal with it, but also I love when I saw Spiderman cosplay back when I go to the convention. There's Spider-noir and Spider-Punk, they're so cool that I wanna take a pic with them. But unfortunately they're gone (darn :'))

Lego movie was a good one as a kid. I used to have a DVD, watching it over and over. It makes me laugh sometimes. But now, I don't usually remember where the DVD went :')

And finally, Wreck it ralph is one the most memorable movie I had. Ralph, Vanellope, and even Turbo. I still remember all of those characters, and yet kinda feel bad for him that he's not appear in this new generation-

*Me, pretend I didn't hear that*

Sometime, I can still hear his voice 😔

Also, Puss in boots: the last wish counted as a good movie anyway- ^^

Villain headcanons I may possibly share soon

So, while I’ve been doing other things and been to hyper fixated on Adam and my oc x canon ship…. And while I don’t really want to get into another fandom discourse, but my post somewhat kind of falls under it (I’m not gonna go depth)

Lately I keep seeing a discourse and war between Stella Stans and Valentino Stans that made me go 🙃🙃🙃

But you know what? Instead of getting into it, I do want to have my own thoughts on them as well as the villains of the Helluverse as a whole.

Please don’t hate me for this, but I actually like Stella and the Vees…. BUT I do have an issue with them coming off too cartoonishly evil. (The Vees I’ll cut slack since we are gonna get more of them in season 2)

I was a bit disappointed with how season 2 depicted Stella very one note since I like to see her side of the story of the arrangement. But I also don’t think she’s this OwO badly misunderstood softgirl baby like her Stans make her out to be. She’s still a classist snobby rich lady that oppressed people, even in season 1 with how she abused that imp and threw at Stolas.

This is also kind of how I feel about Valentino in a way too…. While I do think it’s hilarious he’s a piss baby, I worry about him and the Vees getting a similar treatment to Stella. Like yeah he’s a 🍇ist but people like that can still have depth… I mean look at Griffith from Berserk.

That being said, I actually got inspired by Tik Tok blog that did share so many interesting headcanons for Stella and the Vees. And horror movies like American Psycho was inspiring me ideas for headcanons.

I think a common writing flaw I noticed with both shows is they make abusers so cartoony but not showing the charisma to them. Though we sort of saw that with Mammon and it’s why he’s been a favorite villain of mine so far. Abusers can be charamistic and can be nice it victims, and I wish we saw that with Stella and Val.

Anyways, I had came up with headcanons and my own take on their backstories. (I know I have so much for Vox I wanna share)

But I want to ask… which villain study do you guys want to hear from me first? (btw I’m sorry I don’t have anything for Velvette yet, I promise I’ll get to her soon. I just need to brainstorm more for her )

#hazbin hotel #helluva boss #stella goetia #Valentino #vox #please do not get angry if your vote doesn’t get picked #I promise I’ll share each of these #I just had so much brainrot for the 3 #Velvette will have hers soon I just need to really deep dive for her

Hey its pretty late so I decided to post this before I forget, so I was looking through some of my old art and I had happened to find this art peace that I have made before everything has happened:

So alitte context(this is the version of Mallory that i had made while reading the story before prologue 3 and techno's death but i am slowly moving on as he would have wanted and im starting to improve more in my art skills so I will be making more art works for you to show support but it takes longer do to my internet sucking lol anyway back to context this image which i am slowly coloring because im not sure what her character colors are like a pallet that represents just her so I'll be doing them random but anyway she's draw to be in a black void with multiple hands hands and eyes surrounding her to show in the story how much she loved the attention and love she received but in that void it's nothing but eyes of hatred focused on her and the hands around her are both hands of the ones that want revenge for her being the reason their God that had now abandoned them but also trying to get at her skin every chance they get to show how much everyone had did a mega uno reverse on her once the truth was found out and she was held accountable for her actions with everyone agents her and the hands holding her are a mix of celestia the one who had created her so do her role??? Or gave her the role of replacement and the other hands are also random ones of past follower that are also again trying to claw at her so that is why she has scratches on her shoulders that are governed in bloody/dry blood marks of Red instead of gold, also i gave her the same scar the reader has on their right eye or left I'm not sure lol but i believe right eye that represents the one similarity they have which may also includ pain and suffering, the crown on her head also shows the 10 live she now has or infinite lives I'm also not sure on that but the crown is also half close to falling apart and having cracks on it to somewhat show how she was the tyrant all along and to show her downfall in royal status or better yet a fake god, omg this was a while vent lol but any way I'll send in a colored version soon to show my support and i wish you the best till the very end lol.

-Anon Crow out ( I always come back lol😈✌️)

ANON CROW HI!!

I just finished readings this and damn it was good OWO!

Also yes I am slowly recovered Techno's passing but still trying to find time to write as I am suffering allergies TwT

PENPAL SERVICE... MAIN MASTERLIST || 7K MILESTONE (closed) || 7K MILESTONE MASTERLIST (coming soon!)

There have been rumors across the town that They have arrived.

As someone who considers themself distant from those in the cold regions of Snezhnaya thanks to your location, you don’t know who your customers meant by “They” whenever you hear them whispering aloud in the tavern – let alone what made the townspeople so fearful of them – but nevertheless, it didn’t exactly made you feel scared nor extra cautious as they are from how… extra they were about the topic. It’s probably just some myth that isn’t real!

And besides, you have your dear company who you trust can protect you.

He’s a mysterious fellow to say the least – one who hides among the shadows and one who hides his face with a mask that you describe it as “what a knight in shining armor would wear.” with a teasing smile.

The both of you simply met in the forest that’s near to where your tavern is. You were busy finding wood that’s enough to keep you warm in your establishment, oblivious to a large bear that’s creeping towards you until someone saved you from your fate much to your surprise.

When he finished off the bear by cutting its head off, you didn’t hesitate to speak out your gratitude towards him and offer him free drinks and food in your tavern.

“Why don’t you come with me? I owe you my finest drinks and food for saving my life.” You spoke eagerly.

To your dismay, he shook his head in response, grabbing the corpse of the dead animal. “Thank you for the offer, but I have other business to tend to. Take care.” Thinking that’s the last of it, the man walks away with the bear, leaving you alone in the cold forest.

Unfortunately for him, this isn’t the last of it.

You began to visit the spot he left you in daily, bringing a basket that contains a bottle of wine that’s the best one out of the ones in your cellar and a delicious meal that you made with your heart and soul, hoping you’ll encounter your savior again and pay him back like you swore you would. Even if it took days, weeks, and even almost a month, you could care less.

Fortunately, you didn’t have to wait for that long, by the time a few weeks had passed, you finally saw him standing where you usually wait for him and you didn’t hesitate to start running towards him in excitement.

“You came.” You spoke to him happily, placing the basket on his arms. “Here, take this. I got you the best wine of my tavern and a meal I worked hard on. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to see you again, I really am grateful for what you did back then, Sir…?”

It took him a few seconds of silence to respond, staring back and forth between you and your gift in his arms. “...You may call me Capitano.”

“Capitano…” You mumbled, trying to get familiar with his name. “Thank you again for what you did back then, Capitano.”

“It’s the least I can do.” He responded. “Have you… been waiting here?”

You nodded with a sheepish smile. “I have. I often visit this area in hopes of giving you a gift as gratitude, it’s the least I can do!”

He remains silent once again, you can’t really tell what he’s thinking nor what he looks like beneath that helmet.

“You shouldn’t have come here. You would’ve been attacked by a predator.” Capitano warns.

“But… I didn’t get attacked. Even if I somehow did, I managed to bring a weapon with me.” You then open your cloak and reveal a sword on your side, covered by a scabbard. “Besides that doesn’t matter now, at least I got to pay you.”

The man then huffs. “Will you continue to visit here after this?”

You thought about it for a few moments before nodding in response. “Well… I have to gather wood weekly for my fireplace, but I can manage.”

He nods slowly. “...I see.” He turns around, and you assume it’s time for him to go once again. “Take care.”

Mustering up the courage, you immediately took a step forward. “Wait,” You called, watching him stop his tracks to hear you out, “...Will I see you again, Capitano?”

It felt like those seconds of silence were forever, but much to your disappointment, the man only let out a huff and continued walking away from you until he’s no longer in your vision, leaving you out in the cold forest alone.

That must be a yes then, you thought with a proud smile, happy that you now made a friend.

Fortunately, the next time you visited the area, he was there as well. As well as the next, and the next, and the next until you found yourself visiting the area almost everyday. On most occasions, you’re just spending time together gathering wood for your fireplace with him helping you, while some occasions happen to have you two chilling by the forest talking about whatever you want (although it’s you who’s doing most of the talking, he sometimes tells you his own things – and he’s quite a good listener), and on rare occasions whenever there’s a few blizzards, the two of you would even spend time in your usually quiet tavern, which only happened twice.

Throughout those occasions, you’ve learned quite a few things about the man.

He lives somewhere that’s deserted from the town, somewhere where it’s guaranteed that adventurers wouldn’t find it due to how far it is just the way he likes it. He has a group of people who are like “him” – whatever that means. He also hasn’t talked to anyone in town besides you, explaining how it’s all pointless for him to socialize when he has no reason to do so unless it’s with you, and you could only focus on how insanely warm your cheeks have gotten from his words.

Currently, you found yourself gathering more wood with Capitano, talking about the most bizarre things you’ve overheard your customers talk about. You can’t help but notice how he’s been acting off. He was dozing off from your conversation much to your concern, but you didn’t find the bravery to ask since you thought it’s none of your business.

“Do you know what they meant about ‘They’?” You asked, wanting to hear his output about the rumors.

“No.. I haven’t heard of such rumors until now. However, it’s best if you listen to their words and be cautious.” He spoke.

You nodded slowly. “..Got any ideas on what I should do?”

“Lock the doors and windows after closing the tavern, try not to bleed, and more importantly, keep your weapon with you at all cost.”

You raise an eyebrow at how specific his suggestions are and how fast he responded, but you kept note of them all for later use. “Alright.. Thanks.”

The two of you fell silent the whole time after that. In your defense, you aren’t sure what to talk about after that conversation, but you hoped the awkwardness wasn't too obvious for him.

By the time the both of you walked out of the forest with enough wood that’ll suffice for the week, you decided to finally speak up. “...Thanks again for helping.. And for the suggestions.”

He nods in response. “Take care.”

Just when you thought he’s about to walk away like always, he added a few words. “...I might not be able to visit you for a few days, don’t come and look for me if you don’t see me in our spot.”

Your eyes widened in surprise. “Oh…. Will we see each other again soon?”

You’re honestly curious to see what expression he’s making under that mask, watching him stand there in silence. “...Of course.”

The next day, you hear news that a few townspeople are found dead with obscene descriptions of their injuries to be followed by how people claim it’s the work of They.

You’re a bit shaken up, it dawns on you just how serious They are. You found yourself wanting to talk to Capitano about this later, only to realize you won’t be seeing him for the next few days.

It only made you feel more scared knowing that you don’t have him around to talk about it to.

That same day, you started following what he told you. Not only did you lock all doors and windows as soon as you close the tavern up, you had also made sure to keep everything that could make you bleed aside from your reach (besides your weapons).

This went on for a few days, and unfortunately, those days included more news of murder, causing you to become more scared to the point where you can’t find yourself sleeping thanks to your thoughts. What made it worse is that Capitano has still not shown up throughout your visits to your spot, making you hope that he’ll be okay.

You don’t want to admit it, but you see him as more than a friend. You realized it one night when you were thinking about Capitano, wondering how he’s been and whether or not he’s gonna come back the next day.

When you concluded that the way your cheeks heats up from anything Capitano has said or done that’s a bit intimate, the way your heartbeats faster than to your liking when you’re rushing towards the spot you meet him with, the way you couldn’t stop smiling after your meetups with him are all signs of you falling in love, you slept peacefully for the first time in days.

It took a few more days and nights until something happened.

It was quiet in your tavern. Thanks to the daily news of your people’s deaths, many of your customers haven’t visited and decided to stay in their homes. Although you see no reason to keep this tavern open, you still decided to wait until it’s time for the place to close.

You wished you didn’t.

An hour before closing time, the bell rings – a signal that someone has entered the tavern – causing you to look up from the book you’re reading and see your customer,

Or should you say customers.

If it weren’t for the news and rumors, you would’ve been ecstatic to have customers like them. However, to say you felt a bit intimidated isn’t enough.

“Why hello, bartender.” The man, who you assume must be some-kind of leader of the group of at least six men – greeted with a smile. He’s a ginger-haired man who wears a strange cloak and a red scarf around his neck, the one that strikes you the most are his azure eyes that are as empty as a void. “Is this place still open, I hope?”

You nodded in response. “Yes, what would you like, sir?”

He hums in satisfaction. “Your best alcohol will do.”

Nodding slowly, you walk away to your cellar, trying to ignore the way your heartbeat is going faster. You could only hope that your guts are wrong and that your new customers aren’t bad news.

By the time you walk up with a few drinks, the men who were behind the person who ordered are already in their seats nearby, quietly talking to one another. The person who talked to you on the other hand is sitting on the stool in front of the counter, waiting for you to come up.

“Ah thank you.” He says as soon as you place the drinks and glasses in front of him. You instantly turn around and walk away to start cleaning up, hoping the man will take the drinks to his group, drink away and leave.

While you put all utensils away in their respective drawers and cabinets, you find yourself being flooded by your thoughts that made you all the more anxious about the men and what awaits you tonight. What if those men are involved with the sudden deaths of the townspeople? What if they’re here to ruin your tavern as soon as they’re done with their drinks? What if-–

You winced in pain when you felt a sharp pain on your hand, and you realized that you accidentally scratched yourself with a knife you’re putting away, and to your horror, your palm started bleeding.

What made things scarier was the silence that fell from the group.

You didn’t hesitate to run towards the sink hurriedly, washing off the blood as you hoped the group just pretend nothing happened and continue talking.

Your heart sank once again when you felt a presence looming over you, but you didn’t stop washing the blood away, pretending you didn’t notice – even if you feel the man leaning in closer to you.

“Do you know a man who goes by Capitano…?” The man, the ginger-haired one, whispered by your ear, sending shivers all over your body from how scary his voice became. How did they know Capitano? Did they.. Kill him?

You couldn't find words to speak, something that made the man displeased.

“You see.. He ran off from the manor a few days ago after we found out about his sweet visits in an area that’s near this tavern.”

Your breath hitches. He’s… one of them? He’s…. They?

You gasp when he suddenly grabs your wrist that has your bloody palm, causing you to panic even further as he raises your arm towards him until he’s face to face with your palm. “So we thought that he might be with you.”

You hold the urge to scream when you feel his tongue licking your injury. The man didn’t need to hear your screams to know you’re scared, not when you’re shaking like a scared lamb much to his amusement.

“So… Is he with you?”

You shook your head frantically, trying to move your hand away. “N-No.. I don’t know who you’re talking about..” You eye towards the door that’s not too far away from the counter. If only you could just jump over the counter and run away–

“Liar.” He said, and you wince at how he gripped your wrist even tighter. “Oh well, if you refuse to say a word about him, then I’m sure he won’t mind if my men feast on your blood.. Your townspeople surely are tasty, but not as tasty as you, I can see why Capitano’s this interested in some pathetic human–!”

Without a second thought, you throw your head back against the man, who instantly lets go of your hand with a yell as you jump over the counter and head towards the exit. You should’ve closed this damn tavern, you should’ve moved to another place, you should’ve been more careful with that damn knife!

As soon as you got out, you ran as fast as you could, not daring to look back as you ignored the throbbing pain at the back of your head.

However, in a blink of an eye, the man who you hurt was right in front of you, causing you to stop your tracks.

“My my, I’ve never encountered someone who has some guts like you!” The man exclaims, walking towards you as you shakily pull out your sword. “Come on now, you don’t have to fight, just tell me where he is!”

Not daring to say a word, you try to swing your sword at him, only for him to swiftly dodge it effortlessly and try to scratch you, only for you to put your arm in defense and get an injury. Before you could swing your sword again, you were instantly tackled by one of his men, causing you to scream out in fear as two men held you down against the cold snow.

You screamed even more when you feel the ginger-haired man stepping on your injured palm, causing more blood to come out from the huge scratch.

The man lets out a sigh, unbothered by your screams. “Seeing how you refuse to spill where he is, then I guess we got ourselves another mea–”

“Let. Them. Go. Tartaglia.”

The man, or Tartaglia rather, instantly puts his foot away, looking behind to look at Capitano with excitement. “Ah Capitano! Took you long enough, have you finally reflected enough to come back with us? Why don’t you feast on your human with us? I’m sure the Jester would be pleased knowing you’ve come to your senses!”

“Release them.” Capitano commands, ignoring Tartaglia’s words.

“Wow.. you really care about them.” The ginger-haired man is stunned, blinking a few times. “Tell me, what makes this human so.. Interesting to you? Is it their blood? Their fierceness? Or…” Tartaglia clicks his tongue, looking down at you. “Don’t tell me you’re actually in love with this pathetic human?”

Capitano’s silence is enough for an answer.

“Hah! And here I thought you were one mighty vampire, Capitano. Where’s the fearsome vampire who is feared around the region? Did the human manage to soften you up?” The man cackles. “You’re just like Signora. And just like her and her pathetic human lover, we have no choice but to kill you bo–”

For one moment, the ginger-haired man was just standing there. Then in a blink of an eye, he was knocked away to the side.

It didn’t take long before the same goes for Tartaglia’s men had the same fate once Capitano dealt with Tartaglia, and by the time he finishes off everyone including those who were holding you down, you slowly gather the strength to try and look at your savior, only to lightly gasp when he picks you up effortlessly despite your weight.

“Are you alright?” He asks in a soft tone.

You look at him intently, before nodding in response. “I am.. I just have a few injuries, but they’re not serious.” Your voice cracks from screaming so much.

You then look around your area, wincing at the sight of all the fallen bodies on the ground, all their hearts were taken out by the man who’s currently holding you as if you’d break. As for Tartaglia…. it’s best if you left his corpse not described.

“Th..Thank you.” You whispered.

Capitano nods in acknowledgment. “I… I apologize that you had to go through this. I thought if I left, they’d leave you alone, but I was wrong.” He then starts walking towards the path that takes you back to your home. “I’ll take you back to your place and leave you alone for good so that they won’t come after you–”

“No, please.” You begged, holding onto him tightly. “I… I don’t want to be alone.. I don’t care that you’re one of them or how they’ll come after me. I just… I just want to be with you.”

“...I won’t leave you alone then.” Capitano says in reassurance. “I apologize that you had to see that.”

You shook your head. “I don’t mind.. I’m just.. I’m glad I get to see you again, Capitano.” You said, your vision is beginning to blur. “Thank you again, my savior.”

“Rest well, ( Name ). I’ll be here when you wake up.”

You felt comforted by his words. “I… like the sound of that.”

And then, everything went black.

–

When you wake up, you find yourself on your bed.

It was blurry and hazy at first, until you recognized your surroundings.

“You’re awake.”

You look at your side, and you see Capitano sitting beside you, his hand on yours.

“How.. How long was I unconscious?” You asked, looking down to see your hand and arm bandaged up.

“Only a few hours.” He responded, offering you a glass of water. “Here.”

You quietly thanked him before drinking it all. “Did you.. Get hurt?”

He shook his head in response. “Of course not.”

You felt relieved, but stayed silent when you thought about something else. “...Why did you save me? You could’ve eaten me – or better yet, you could’ve eaten me way back before when we met.”

“I wanted to. The bear got in my way and before I knew it, you noticed me and thanked me for saving you.” Capitano admits in shame, looking down. “I found myself.. coming back to you and enjoy your company, therefore, I refuse to eat the one person I care about most.”

Your eyes soften. “How will you survive if you can’t feed off human blood?”

“Animal blood will suffice.” Capitano spoke. “Worry not. I haven’t eaten anyone in this town, and I like to keep it that way.”

You nodded slowly. “...What about those people? The ones who are like you?”

“I’ll fend them off if they didn’t heed my warnings until they left this town,” You can’t help but feel flustered when you feel his hand rubbing on yours, “I’ll make sure you’ll be unharmed.”

“I feel safer already.” You commented with a grateful smile. “Thank you, Capitano.”

“Anything for you.”
