A little sketch I've been meaning to take out of my sketchbook of my main Elden Ring alt (I have so many send help), Cleanrot Blade ! She doesnt have a name yet haha. I haven't gotten her all figured out, but so far I think she's one of the Cleanrot Knights that survived the war in Caelid. While Finlay took charge of transporting Malenia back to the Haligtree, Cleanrot Blade went out in search of information on how to help their Lady with the rot and the blooming etc etc... Out there she learned about the Outer God of Rot and about the Blue Dancer (making the link with Malenia's old blademaster too probably). From there she came back to the Lands Between and has to make her way to the Haligtree (I'm still in the process of it in game).

Ken's progression OUT of color
This is kinda a cornplate thought that I had nowhere else to put but I love how in the Barbie movie(SPOILERS), Ryan Gosling's Ken's outfits symbolically showcase his "descent" into full patriarchy mode over time.
Tumblr media
At the beginning of the film Ken's beach outfit (his default) has an equal balance of pink and blue. Pink is obviously Barbie's color, and shows Ken as fitting well into the femininity and style of Barbieland, while blue could be argued to be Ken's color (a scene later when he's especially confident features him wearing all denim blue, and the stereotypical gender of these colors, especially when found in kid's toys, supports these basic binaries as associated with these colors).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Ken decides to leave Barbieland with Barbie to delve into the outside world, his color scheme goes full pink, desperate enough to be with Barbie that his attire reflects how dependent his identity is on hers at this stage.
Tumblr media
However, it isn't long before Ken's exploration of the real world leads him to exciting new discoveries about the patriarchy and what it can do for him. Here he is introduced to a newfound sense of self independent from barbie, and while he still carries a pink scarf around his neck, the rest of his outfit has devolved into black and white while hers has remained colorful. As he pursues this new-to-him idea further, his worldview is becoming less unique, pretty, and vibrant(in addition to becoming much more masculine).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is only his scarf that ties him to Barbie now, and upon making the choice not to follow her to Mattel, he becomes fully independent, losing the scarf and any trace of pink in his attire the next time we see him in his mojo dojo casa house coat and beach off outfit underneath.
In his most masculine moment during "Just Ken", he and the other Kens all wear a uniform of the most traditionally male ben shapiro outfit ever: A T-Shirt, belt, and dress pants. All black(and no white either to contrast like the previous 2 outfits). It's fitting that the Kens, in their destructive warpath, imagine themselves as perfectly cleaned up yet violently masculine dancers in their heads, their outfits devoid of all of the flair and character of Barbieland.
Tumblr media
(excuse the shitty picture) After Ken has his little self-growth moment, his new sweatshirt reflects the changed and much more balanced man he has become, much more accepting of himself and a life where he can co-exist with Barbie without being with her. This outfit is again an almost perfect balance of pink and blue, both sides of Ken now a bit more at peace, his colors not pushed out by the LITERALLY black hole of toxic masculinity.
The color scheme also matches the roller blading outfit, so perhaps it shows a somewhat intermediary stage of Ken's development wherein he is still attached to and at peace with Barbieland, but where he is starting to become more independent as well. anyway these are all fun and i genuinely have no fucking idea why Mattel didn't cash in on literally making dolls of all the characters and their outfits these would be so fun to own

OP Boys and..."I like the way your hand fits in mine."
Gender neutral reader 
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Kid, Shanks
Luffy
He took off down the street, intrigued by the sudden commotion. You barely had time to grab his hand before he vanished in front of you. 
“Luffyyyy!” You attempt to stand your ground to pull him back, but he has too much momentum already, and you slingshot towards him. “Luffy, slow down!”
You crash into him, sending you both tumbling into a poor couple nearby. Luffy’s gleeful cackle breaks through the stunned silence of the crowd. You quickly stand up and brush yourself off, embarrassed that the two of you have brought so much attention to yourselves. 
Luffy is still laughing as he stands up again with you. “Aw man! I like the way your hand fits in mine!” He grabs your hand again, interlacing his fingers with yours and squeezing it tightly. “Don’t let it go again!” He bounds off again, unfazed by the commotion he’s created, pulling you alongside him. “Let’s go find adventure!”
Zoro
There was an uneasiness that hung in the air along with the thick fog, and you felt yourself pressing closer to Zoro as you nervously eyed your surroundings. A sudden crash behind you made you jump, and you instinctively grabbed Zoro’s free hand and held it tightly. 
You could feel his eyes shift towards you, but he didn’t object, and you didn’t let go. You felt better knowing he couldn’t wander away. His hand wasn’t tense, despite your intense grip. He looked and felt calm, even though you could tell he was constantly looking for the perpetrator that you both knew was watching you.
Before you could register what was happening, he dropped your hand and drew his blade, slashing out at the unseen man who was charging at you through the fog. The man instantly dropped to the ground, unconscious. As he fell, Zoro sheathed his sword and dropped his arm back to his side. “Thanks,” you whispered, still processing exactly what just happened. Zoro merely grunted in return.
After a few moments, his hand brushed against yours, twitching. You pulled away and muttered an apology for bumping into him, but his hand chased after your own and grabbed it firmly. “I like the way your hand fits in mine,” he mutters, looking away and scratching the back of his head with his free hand. You can see his cheeks have a rose hue dancing across them, and you squeeze his hand in return. 
“Me too.”
Kid
“What the hell are you doing?” Kidd demands, confusion dancing across his face. 
“Look, we’re in handcuffs. It’s just easier to hold hands, okay?” Your wrist hurt from being jerked around by Kid’s antics. Perhaps if he could remember that he couldn’t use his hand, he’d be less likely to throw you around while moving it. 
Kid groans, but doesn’t protest any further. “Let’s just find a way to get out of these damn cuffs. I’m tired of not being able to use my devil fruit powers.”
You all quietly sneak through the halls and into the Administrative Office that held the keys to the hand cuffs. After trying three keys, the lock finally releases, and the shackles fall to the ground. 
As you retreat back through where you came, you realize you’re still holding Kid’s hand. Embarrassed, you start to let go, but he grips your hand tighter, refusing to let your hand slip away from his. “Not yet.” He says, pulling you along with him through the maze of matching corridors. 
“But I thought-”
“Yeah, well, I like the way your hand fits in mine.” He grips it tighter, on the verge of being painful. You give him a light squeeze of reassurance, and continue following him without another word, a smile lingering on your face for the rest of the escape. 
Shanks
The bar was lively, which was commonplace whenever the red-haired pirates were around. Shanks twirled you around on the dance floor, the two of you pushing together and pulling apart in perfect harmony. He was a great dancer, and you complimented each other well. 
The music was cut off abruptly by the sounds of glass breaking and people screaming. Shanks grabbed your hand and pulled you behind him, shielding you from any harm while he addressed the situation that was unfolding.
A young pirate group, about 20 members strong, had entered the tavern and started causing a ruckus. “Listen, fellas,” Shanks tone was lighthearted on the surface but was laced with threats. “We’re all here to have a good time, now. You’re going to have to settle down or head outside.”
The pirate crew laughed maliciously. “Don’t you know who we are, old man?” The leader sneered. “Our crew has a combined bounty of 700 million berries. I think you’re the one who needs to step outside.” You could hear footsteps approaching, but Shank’s frame obscured your vision from seeing the perpetrator. 
“Hey, what the-” the man who was speaking falters, and you can hear fists beating on flesh, swords being drawn. The townspeople scream and flee the tavern, leaving only pirates and those looking for a fight to battle it out.
Shanks turns back to you, still holding your hand. “Sorry about the interruption. Should just be a moment.” He smiles and spins you in a circle again.
You raise an eyebrow at the red-haired pirate. “You don’t want to help?”
“You see, I would. But the thing is,” he pauses for a moment a chuckles softly to you. “I just really like the way your hand fits in mine.”
You blush at the sentiment, and you all resume your dance, this time to battle cries and sword fights.

If Arknights ever managed to land the fabled FromSoft collab somehow, we could get some pretty good alt skins for characters, I think! Such as:
Mudrock -> Havel the Rock skin, complete with Dragon Tooth for extra heavy bonking.
Hellagur -> The Owl skin, they are both Old Men With Massive Odachi, it writes itself.
Kirin R Yato -> Lady Butterfly skin, and also it'd be hilarious to grab what's basically an outfit crossover character and give it another outfit altogether.
Specter/Laurentina -> Valtr, Master of the League skin, to bring things back full circle since Specter is literally a reference to Valtr in the first place.
Gladiia -> Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower skin, same as Specter.
Gravel -> Dancer of the Boreal Valley skin, because you know she'd rock that outfit and the dual blades.
Kirin R Yato -> Skeleton Wheel skin, for that S3.
Reed the Flame Shadow -> Firekeeper skin. But this Firekeeper keeps the fire in people's burning corpses.
Ch'en -> Gaping Dragon skin. Self-explanatory.
Ifrit -> Ceaseless Discharge skin, but it's hilariously shoddily made and it looks cute, clearly made by Ifrit with her own hands and some duct tape.
Kazemaru -> Flexile Sentry skin, the puppet is literally her just turning around and letting her "other body" face to the front.
Typhon -> Starscourge Radahn skin, what with the greatbow mastery and techniques such as shooting multiple greatarrows at once and shooting a rain of pinpoint orbital greatarrows on enemies.
Rosa -> Greatbow Silver Knight skin. You know exactly which one. That one. Yeah.
Gummy -> Aldritch, Devourer of Gods skin. Self-explanatory.
FrostNova -> Ashen One skin. Self-explanatory.
Amiya -> Solaire of Astora skin. Because she's our friend and gives us hope! But watch out. On S3 activation, she gets the Sunlight Parasite.
W -> Unbreakable Patches skin. Because you know she'd rock that leather armor and have fun kicking people right into loot.
Ling -> Rom the Vacuous Spider skin, but also adorably shitty. Ifrit made it with spare materials, including little spiderling fits for Ling's dragons. She finds it funny and cute so she wears it.

That nilou reader x hsr men was so good and adorable <33 especially blade's part. If you don't mind can you expand on them only? The grumpy x sunshine, dancer x swordsman and spider lily x water lily symbolism is so cute 💗💗
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Characters: Blade x Gender-neutral Reader
Synopsis: opposites attract
Warnings: Fluff and spelling mistakes,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐵𝓁𝒶𝒹𝑒
He lets you do so many things to him that if someone even thought about it, they would be found dead in a ditch somewhere. Pulling and pinching at his cheeks while teasing him, he’ll just take it like a champ, letting you have your way and do what you want with him. Anything? Yep, anything you wish, he’ll let you do to him.
Touching his face all the time without reason (not like he was going to ask for it anyway) Especially that cute thing you do while touching his face, when you want to kiss your thumb caresses over his lips, hoping to take the hint and kiss you, like as if you were going to initiate it first, it would be too embarrassing!
"You're so cute when you try to keep a straight face, even though you're obviously blushing." Those words left your mouth without any shame that you’d be cruelly calling him out before he gave that scary look in hopes of hiding the previous blushing expression, “Still see your blushing face.” Your the worse.
Dragging him out in the cold rain just to dance with him because you felt like it and he’ll always let you get your way no matter what, those sighs and grumbles are just all fake. “Everyone should dance in the rain at least once in their lives.” You smile, putting your arms around his neck, pulling his neck down to look at you more, and pressing against each other, both also soaking wet, but if you get sick, Then he’ll take care of you, of course.
Tumblr media
if you liked this, consider tipping me on ko-fi! it'd mean a lot!

Introducing…𖦹 ׂ 𓈒 ⋆ ۪
mentioned: Lilia Vanrouge, Anan Atthakornmetha, Charin Kamolnath
Tumblr media Tumblr media
꧁𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐤𝗼𝐫𝐧𝗺𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐚꧂
มธุรา อัฐกรเมธา 𖦹 ׂ 𓈒 ⋆ ۪
“Exiled to the deep, where the nagas reside; never to return again.”
Height : 197 cm.
Birthday : 9th of May
Age : 700+
Homeland : East of Scalding Sands (Attidaya)
Best Subject : None.
Club : None.
Talents : Ancient Magic, Fighting
Hobby : Taking care of his pet naga (Nham)
Dislikes : royalty
Favorite Food : Miang kham (เมี่ยงคำ)
Least Favorite Food : Unseasoned, plain food.
꧁𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜꧂
- 𝐁𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝗺𝐲: The ability to manipulate a large amount of individuals (specifically an army) at once to turn viciously attack their own. This ability can only be activated when Mathura uses a special flute. The drawback to this ability is unknown, possibly minor fatigue.
- 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧: Warriors are adorned with talisman (tattoos) , giving wearers resistance to black magic and blot. And also some resistance to normal physical damage (ex. a normal blade, a bullet)
- 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: A skill obtained from battles near and/or in the sea, Mathura is able to breathe underwater.
꧁𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝗼𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐚꧂
- Mathura is based on the Ramakien character Maiyarap (ไมยราพ)! Maiyarap is a violent yaksha with light purple skin, and is a dangerous warrior who later on died by the hands of Hanuman.
- It took me painful hours to come up with his Unique Magic name, and I even had help from my sister😭 So the name is not the best, I know </3
- Maiyarap had two abilities, one is to make an entire army to fall asleep by his flute, and second is to turn invisible👁️👁️. I wanted something along those lines for Mathura, but I realized that the original ability is similar to Malleus’s.
- I really, really like the name “Maiyarap” and initially wanted to use that name but I decided not to because Mathura is based on him, not a carbon copy of him.
- The rose carving on his earring symbolizes the flowers on a dancer’s crown (ชฎา), which also means that Mathura does dancing in his free time!
- Mathura’s purple hair is purely based on the fact that Maiyarap had purple skin✨
- Unfortunately, Mathura is usually in the deep sea so he is technically considered an NPC. But I can promise that there will be appearances of him in my big project (regarding the mysterious oc of mine 👀)
- Not so fun fact, I redrew him 3-4 times. Those were not happy times at all. I suddenly forgot how to draw old men and I struggled SO bad.
- Mathura is dressed like the uncle next door (for those SEA fans out there, yes he’s only clad in a towel wrapped around his hips) but tbh his age would make him more like a great great great great great great great grandpa next door-
꧁𝐀𝐛𝗼𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐚꧂
- Mathura Atthakornmetha was the general of Attidaya (East of Scalding Sands) for centuries until he was exiled to the deep sea due to treason.
- The deep sea in Attidaya is home to sea dragons known as naga, and Mathura has made one his own pet named Nham!
- As his surname suggests, he is Anan’s uncle! However, they have only met on several occasions, and Anan was still a child in those times.
- Charin knows Mathura very well, since Mathura was his mentor back in the deep sea. They cut ties as soon as word got around that Charin was getting fighting lessons from a criminal though, yikes😟
- Mathura was a very strict and ruthless mentor at that time, and he’s guilty of it ever since Charin left. He couldn’t help but think that maybe he should’ve been more gentle with the merman, since he was such a young boy :(
- The huge gash on his chest was caused by none other than Anan’s father right before the verdict that leads to Mathura’s exile.
- Mathura is a very…unhinged and vulgar type of guy. He’s incredibly blunt too, will tell you straight on about what he thinks and feels. He’s not the type to sugarcoat his words, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t feel bad about it afterwards…..on rare occasions.
- Mathura sucks, and I mean SUCKS at naming things. Never let this man name your pet cuz bro named his own pet naga Nham, which literally means WATER.
- “Well, she’s in the water and she’s a sea dragon, so?” <— his words
- Speaking about his pet naga, he babies her so much. He would clean her scales as a hobby. He just loves taking of a sea dragon that can swallow him hole🥰 would use a baby voice to talk to her too-
- You might be thinking that Mathura probably respect women like Anan and Charin. You’re not wrong, but he also won’t hold back with women unlike those two. A woman’s gonna fight him? Bring it on honey cuz he ain’t holding back too💪👹
- Bro’s the type to have a resting bitch face and is ACTUALLY a bitch, too.
- Yes, he knows Lilia.
- But there’s still a possibility for you to befriend him…though it might take a long time to break down this ex-generals walls, he’s quite lonely. He’ll give you a chance- if you’re worthy enough, of course.
Tumblr media
I know I usually post my OCs on followers milestone events, BUT as the majority of you guys voted to see the next OC, I shall deliver✨ He’s not the typical twst oc but this is all I got😞 I’ll make comic on him soon but for now, thank you all so much for sticking around my blog despite my hiatus and supporting me along the way💖🫶 I love you all so much /pla<333

China Film Critics Society weibo account posted a short article/ evaluation of Wang Yibo. you all might be mad at the second paragraph but it is what it is. it will not all be praises for Yibo. It is very obvious that a lot of critics haven’t watched his dramas and have some prejudice.
Tumblr media
China Film and Television Performance Review Summit Forum evaluated actor Wang Yibo
Zhang Hui, dean of the Performance School of Beijing Film Academy, proposed that in 2023, Wang Yibo starred in many movies, including major movies He was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Hidden Blade" by director Cheng Er, "Born to Fly" directed by Liu Xiaoshi and "One and Only" directed by Dapeng. This is undoubtedly Wang Yibo's recognition as a cross-border actor from outside the industry. Excellent achievements, praise and affirmation given. These films have allowed us to see Wang Yibo's potential and plasticity, as well as his progress and growth as a cross-border actor through continuous practice and tempering. They also allow us to place more expectations and hopes on actors who are not from a professional background.
Before starring in "One and Only" and "Hidden Blade", Wang Yibo had always "relied on his face". The roles he played were all cold and handsome princes or knights in costume dramas. He appeared on the stage with a "handsome" face that was almost facially paralyzed. There is no true emotion revealed in the characters he plays, and no three-dimensional shaping of the characters. It can be said that those scenes cannot even be called "performances." However, "Chen Shuo" who is passionate about his dreams in "One and Only" and "Mr. Ye", the inner-struggle triple agent in "Hidden Blade", let us see that Wang Yibo has begun to be serious about performance creation. He has the courage to challenge himself and take a brave step towards the profession of actor.
In "One and Only", Wang Yibo changed his introverted personality and cold expression, starting from the character's emotions to portray this young dancer who sincerely pursues his dreams. He interprets an ordinary, sincere, simple, persistent and determined young man chasing dreams in a real, natural, vivid and vivid way. Chen Shuo, who he plays, has a burning passion for dreams and the purest love for dance in his eyes in every scene. It is precisely because Wang Yibo accurately grasps the emotions of the characters that he creates "Chen Shuo" with accurate, vivid and sincere emotions, which deeply touches the hearts of every audience.
Wang Yibo plays the role of "Mr. Ye", a spy with three identities in "Hidden Blade". It is a big challenge for him, whether it is to break through his own image or to create the complexity and versatility of the character. He once mentioned that before filming started, in order to understand the characters and find the appropriate performance state, he watched classic films such as "The Godfather", "Pulp Fiction" and "Inglourious Basterds", and conducted special training on lines and action scenes. Although Wang Yibo's acting skills in the film are a bit immature compared to other movie queens and movie kings, through his control of details and emotional expression, he captured the audience's emotions on multiple levels, highlighting the tension of the work.

what if he kisses her...? what then???? :3c
» — ⌜WHAT IF...?⌟ 
— @deathfxnds ♡
Tumblr media
If he kisses her, there is nothing for her to do but kiss him back and relish in it, perpetually amazed and frightened in equal measure by how easy it always is to surrender to his whims. Irelia's heart no longer flutters with fearfulness from the inevitable vulnerability closeness brings, nor does she question the wisdom of trusting the assassin, the time for such reflection long gone. If he kisses her, she allows herself to enjoy it.
And if inexperience makes him hesitant or causes his actions to be less than perfect, they are matched in that as in so many other things. The dancer would not care, for that or the nature he bows to, never gentle; no — she enjoys, even, the hint of pain that tinges the contact, his grasp on her firm enough to leave fair skin bruised. If he kisses her, her mind cannot wander very far, focus all his, the strayest thought that crosses it what his reaction would be, to see the marks he leaves upon her body. To consider how many more Kayn could decorate her skin with — or the ones she would be content to leave on him, were her lips to wander to his throat, his collarbone, his torso.
If he kisses her and she hesitates to indulge those stray thoughts, they both know her hands seldom remain idle when they are this close, delicate fingers mapping his exposed skin with dutiful but quiet worship. It is never just desire. There is affection in her every touch, the likes of which Irelia had never offered another. It was all for him, just for him, always, always.
Tumblr media
If he kisses her, she will be content to follow his lead. If he doesn't... well. She had always been more than willing to take charge.

Hyakki Yagyō (百鬼夜行, "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"), also transliterated Hyakki Yakō, is an idiom in Japanese folklore. Sometimes an orderly procession, other times a riot, it refers to a parade of thousands of supernatural creatures known as oni and yōkai that march through the streets of Japan at night. As a terrifying eruption of the supernatural into the real world, it is similar (though not precisely equivalent) to the concept of pandemonium in English.
Tumblr media
Azure Fang - (most likely) Yuki-onna (雪女, "snow woman")
Yuki-onna prey on travelers lost in the heavy snowstorms that blanket the Japanese Alps in winter. They have an otherworldly beauty, with long black hair and dark, piercing eyes. Their skin is ageless and as white as snow, but their bodies are as cold as ice. A mere touch is enough to give a human a deep, unshakable chill. They feed on life force, sucking it from human’s mouths with an icy breath that freezes their victims solid.
Tumblr media
Breeze Dancer - Jorōgumo (Japanese: 絡新婦)
Jorōgumo is a type of yōkai, a creature of Japanese folklore. It can shapeshift into a beautiful woman, so the kanji that represent its actual meaning are 女郎蜘蛛 (lit. 'woman-spider'); the kanji which are used to write it instead, 絡新婦 (lit. 'entangling newlywed woman') have a jukujikun pronunciation that is related to the meaning, but not the sound of the word. In Toriyama Sekien's Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, it is depicted as a spider woman manipulating small fire-breathing spiders.
Tumblr media
Crimson Fist - (unknown, suggested are: ghost warrior, ghost samurai, cursed samurai armor)
Tumblr media
Midnight Blade - Tengu (Japanese: 天狗, lit. 'Heavenly Dog' or 'Heavenly Sentinel')
Tengu are a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion (Shinto). They are considered a type of yōkai (supernatural beings) or Shinto kami (gods or spirits). The Tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey and a monkey deity, and they were traditionally depicted with human, monkey, and avian characteristics.
Buddhism long held that the Tengu were disruptive demons and harbingers of war. Their image gradually softened, however, into one of protective and even manifestations of Buddhist deities, if still dangerous, spirits of the mountains and forests. Tengu are associated with the ascetic practice of Shugendō, and they are usually depicted in the garb of its followers, the yamabushi.
Tumblr media
Scarlet Blaze - Nekomata (original form: 猫また, later forms: 猫又, 猫股, 猫胯)
Nekomata are a kind of cat yōkai described in Japanese folklore, classical kaidan, essays, etc. There are two very different types: those that live in the mountains and domestic cats that have grown old and transformed into yōkai.

Stage reveal
[Teapot]
Paimon:Three hundred wishes! An indomitable will! One golden hair boy’s determination and not to mention 75 pity! It all happens here!!!
Aether:Nice intro.
Paimon:Felt appropriate. Though it might be anticlimactic if Furina shows up in one go.
Aether:That’s the point! *throws ten wishes*
Golden Meteor!
Keqing:You really think it’s going to be her?
???:HAHAHAHAHA~
Nilou:Judging by that sound…yes.
Aether carefully runs with his arms out until the gold light finally fades and Furina lands squarely in his arms.
Furina:Splendid! Simply splendid! Bravo in participating for my wonderful entrance!
Aether:*mutters* You had no land strategy, did you?
The whimsical girl completely ignores the absolutely true accusations, favoring to stand on her own two feet and greet the gaggle of people who attended this glorious occasion.
Furina:Greetings! I’m-
Everyone:We know.
Ayato:He’s mentioned you.
Nahida:More than that. He’s asked us all to help build you for awhile now.
Aether:She didn’t need to know that.
Lynette:My brother is gathering your flowers as we speak, upon Aether’s request.
Aether:I thought I invited friends, not enemies here.
Furina:Well, well, *turns around* well! It would appear despite your blatant shenanigans towards me, you actually wanted me around? Isn’t that adorable?
Paimon:Big talk coming from someone dedicated to letting people wait. You fell faster than anyone Paimon has seen. Didn’t even entertain the idea of making him “work for it”
Furina:I- I just happened to weigh the options is all! It was impossible for me not to arrive, so why not start off with a bang and allow more time for the real drama to begin!
She dramatically points to the weapon banner vendor. Suddenly, nobody but Nilou and Furina were having a good time. The only thing guaranteed was pain but yet they held join in the idea of things working out. Aether decided not to waste time and started lighting the sky with colors from his wishes.
Yaoyao:…Huh? *holds constellation* That was unexpected.
Keqing:That tends to happen from time to time. Congratulations. That’s your second one.
Kaveh:*holds constellation* What the?
Nilou:(Wow. I really do win today.)
Mika:*holds constellation* Oh wow. I got one too!
Eula:Now get five more.
Aether:(Why is my luck for characters better on here than the standard?)
Golden Meteor!
Kokomi:Heads up. It could be anything.
Furina:Ha! Anything!? The answer is as clear as water. *holds hand out*
The light falls straight down into her hand brilliantly. As it fades, Furina’s own gaze lights up as she brandishes her blade.
Furina:See!? Clear as water! (Oh my gods, that could’ve been sooo embarrassing!)
Everyone:(She’s trembling…)
Aether wastes no time in dumping more wishes until another gold light. Unfortunately …
Jade fall splendor
Baizhu, in the distance:Pull for me now!
Aether:Let’s all pretend that was the wind. *spends more primos*
Jade fall splendor
Bahizhu:Puuullllll
Aether:Not gonna lie, this hurts.
Nilou:I don’t even feel good about this outcome.
Ayato:So you’re giving me the sword?
Nilou:Mmm, no. I’ll just cherish it more.
After several painful wishful, the dancer gained her new blade.
Paimon:Okay then. Cheer up Aether! Now let’s use the remainder to get Charlotte! You still around 130.
Aether:*toses 20* I know it just sucks a little to-
Golden Meteor!
Everyone:…..*looks at Furina*
Furina:…..*reveals constellation* Praise my generosity! Let the good times return!
80 wishes later….
Aether:I just want Charlotte around!!! Is she at work or something!?
Tighnari:Look at the bright side. *holds constellation*
Aether:…Look, I love ya man, but you should probably be helping Collei. She’s drowning in coins.
Collei: *buried* I kinda like pressure if I’m honest.
Furina:Let me try. Clearly your luck ran out.
Aether:And your any better?
Furina:I don’t need luck. What I need… *toses wishes* Is an interview!
Charlotte: *falling from the sky* An interview!? Say no more! I even brought a gift for the occasion! *shows constellation*
Furina:Hahahaha!
Aether:*covers face* Unbelievable.
Paimon:Look at it this way. We can invite Navia to join us soon enough!
Keqing:Who’s that?
Paimon:This cool and sweet lady who holds…a Geo vision….
Everyone:Those still exist!? That’s so brave of her!
Navia, in the distance: Hey! Have optimism! It’s fine!
As fanfare died down and everyone went back to doing their personal tasks, Aether took Furina aside just around a hill.
Aether:Alright. Curtain is closed. I won’t mind if there’s something you wanted to get off your chest before I tell you the r-
Furina:*hugs him* …..Happy to be here.
Aether:…*hugs her back* Me too.

"You want me to do what?"
"Find the Red Hood and rip out his throat!"
Y/n stuck her hands inside her hoodie, furrowing her brows, looking at him as if he were crazy. "Why would I ever do that?"
Black Mask returned the intense gaze, and Y/n could sense he was losing his composure, which amused her. "Because you work for me," he said through gritted teeth.
Y/n smirked, relishing in getting under his skin. She had heard about the Red Hood disrupting Black Mask's supply, but frankly, she didn't care. In a few months, he wouldn't be her problem anymore.
She looked around at the construction workers fixing the aftermath of the explosion that took place a few hours ago. She took a step forward and leaned on his desk which somehow managed to survive.
“What's in it for me?” her face was only inches away from his the look in her eyes told him she was dead serious.
“Extra pay until your deed with me is done.”
Y/n straightened up from the desk, a sly grin playing on her lips. “Consider it done.”
As she left Black Mask’s office, her mind began to strategize. She knew Gotham’s underbelly well and understood that hunting the Red Hood required finesse. The city echoed with rumors about his movements and haunts, and Y/n was determined to navigate the tangled web he wove.
Her journey took her through dimly lit alleys and hidden meeting spots. She spoke with informants, listened to whispers in the shadows, and pieced together the puzzle of the Red Hood’s elusive presence.
Days turned into nights as Y/n relentlessly pursued her target, a dance of shadows in Gotham’s treacherous landscape. The city’s pulse thrummed with secrets, and she moved through it like a silent predator, closing in on the Red Hood’s trail.
Finally, a lead pointed to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Y/n approached cautiously, aware that the Red Hood was not to be underestimated. As she entered the dimly lit space, the tension in the air grew palpable.
And there he was, the Red Hood, a figure clad in crimson and black, standing defiantly in the center of the warehouse. Y/n sized him up, her gaze meeting the unmistakable red helmet that concealed his identity.
"I assume your daddy sent you?" Of course, he already knew that.
"You're foolish if you think that man is my father." Y/n took a step forward, a deliberate move.
He chuckled "You're good, you know. Found me quicker than I expected." Y/n tilted her head in confusion, a detail the Red Hood noticed.
"Yeah, I knew you were coming. Do you really think you'd find me if I hadn't allowed you to?"
Y/n's jaw clenched; the guy was undoubtedly a character, much smarter than he looked
"I know you hate Black Mask as much as I do. Join me, Y/n, we could run this city."
His offer was tempting, and under different circumstances, she might have considered it. However, her focus was on completing the job at hand. She had no desire to align herself with him; she wanted to finish this task like all the others.
"I have no interest in joining you. I came here to get a job done."
Jason sucked his teeth. "I was afraid you'd say that."
The air crackled with tension as Y/n and Jason circled each other in the dimly lit warehouse and without warning, Jason lunged forward, blades glinting ominously. Y/n sidestepped with a dancer’s grace, quipping, “Careful with those, wouldn’t want to ruin your manicure.”
He smirked, countering, “I’ve got more important things to worry about.”
Y/n countered with a series of quick strikes, her fists a blur. “Like what? Maintaining your mysterious bad-boy image?”
Jason parried with a fluidity that showcased his own combat prowess. “You think I do this for image?”
The echoes of their banter and blows reverberated through the empty space. Metallic clangs of weapons colliding punctuated the silence.
Their fight danced between offense and defense, a symphony of skill and determination. Y/n’s hands blurred as she executed a lightning-fast combination. “You really think you can take on the entire underworld on your own?” she teased.
He smirked, dodging with acrobatic finesse. “Just getting started, sweetheart.”
Y/n’s confident facade wavered for a split second, a subtle blush creeping across her cheeks. “Don’t get too cozy with endearments; you might not live long enough to enjoy them,” she retorted, trying to mask her flustered reaction.
Jason chuckled, catching the momentary vulnerability. “Sweetheart, you’re not the first to threaten me, won’t be the last.”
She rolled her eyes, but the unexpected flutter in her chest lingered as they resumed their agile dance. The echoes of their banter and blows reverberated through the empty space, creating a unique rhythm in the midst of the fierce battle.
In a sudden burst of energy, Y/n unleashed a powerful kick. “Time to wrap this up, Red.”
As the battle intensified, the clash of fists and kicks echoed in the warehouse. Y/n’s agility matched Jason’s strength, creating a dynamic equilibrium and it showed.
Jason had finally met his match.
Their faces mere inches apart, the intensity of their locked gaze mirrored the struggle for dominance.
Jason found themselves locked in a desperate struggle. Blades met fists, and the air crackled with the sound of their duel.
Exhaustion painted their faces, yet determination still burned in their eyes. A risky move from Y/n left an opening, and Jason seized the opportunity, disarming her with a swift kick. With her weapon clattering to the ground, he held her at a momentary disadvantage.
Breathing heavily, Jason surveyed the situation, the adrenaline of battle still coursing through his veins. Instead of capitalizing on his upper hand, he took a step back, releasing Y/n from his grasp.
Their eyes locked, a silent understanding passing between them. In that moment, the intensity of the fight transformed into a strange, unspoken connection. Jason, despite having the power to end it all, chose not to deliver the final blow.
“You’re good, Y/n. Maybe we’re not that different after all,” he said, his tone carrying an unexpected depth.
She looked at him, her guard still up, but a flicker of curiosity in her eyes. “Don’t read too much into it, Red. This doesn’t change anything.”
With that, he nodded, choosing not to pursue the confrontation further. The dimly lit warehouse remained a witness to their clash, a silent testament to the complexities of their entwined destinies. Jason vanished into the shadows, leaving Y/n to collect herself in the aftermath of their intense encounter.
“Mask is going to kill me.”
