On the same note of @elegantunknownphantom 's post, I will take a little time to shake this off my chest.
TW: discussion of mental health issues
The past years were not easy for me. At times - no, most of the time - they were unbearable. When the dread became too heavy, though, this was my escape place. A community that welcomed me and made me feel more at home than anywhere else I have been.
When I hated myself, I could come here and be Kal. Be an author writing silly things, interacting with my community.
It might sound... well, desperate, a bit pathetic, but for years when I was spiralling and asking myself "what good am I for? What have I accomplished in my life?" I answered myself "this. At least I made this."
I remember with clarity living through the end of 2021 and 2022 with nothing to look forward to, but this.
There was a time where I almost gave up on everything because it was too painful and I felt so alone. There was one thing I couldn't give up on, though. My WIPs. I thought about all the people who followed me and I told myself, day after day "I have to keep writing. I can't leave them hanging. I have to finish this game."
And so I kept writing.
And I made through those years. Mainly, I like to think, because of this.
So this is a reminder for myself. A confession, kind of. A thank you to everyone who is here and reading. Everyone who sent me asks, who interacted with me, who supported me in any way, who wrote wonderful IFs where I could escape to, who made my life a little more bearable for a very long, dark period of time.
I don't want to tag people, because I would be here all day. But know that I owe you. That my heart is filled with fondness and gratitude to you.

I do have on thing to say about the fact that "one of the passengers is a 19 year old" for the Titan.
A 19 year old is still a "teenager" but that is a whole ass adult. That is an adult who has been an adult for a year and acting like he has no self agency to not make the choices he did is just ridiculous and I'm seeing *way* to many people on this site pretty much just infantalize him. 18 is *also* an adult. A new adult, but still an *adult*. If you are seriously in the mindset of "but that's a child still!" You need to step away from Tumblr and just think about how you view the various human stages of development.
19 year olds aren't kids. That man made that choice to go down there.
(also as a trans man who's rights are under attack and that people are using the argument of "kids can't consent" to get their foot in the door and then further take them away from literal adults, some under the argument of "well a lot of y'all are autistic and Don't Really Understand what's happening even though you're adults!!" This shit infuriates me. Stop infantilizing people!!! This may not be about my rights as a trans person but the issue of infantilizing literal adults is still the same!!!)

Lucy: I'm begging, just wait here and don't get in trouble, i'm gonna be back in a minute.
Lockwood: Sure!
Lockwood: *one minute after* I actually got chased by a psycho maniac with a knife, and while running, I had to fight Type Two on my way, so i almost got hit by a car.

taking aki to the sex store and he just stands around with his arms folded behind his back like hm. you walk away briefly to the lingerie section. he’s still standing there. u lead aki to the vibes and it’s the same thing he is thinking too much about it. can’t take this man anywhere. it’s a shame its 1997 because it’d do him good to be able to google everything on his phone. u take him back home and you’re both lying in bed later and he turns over to face you like ‘so. was i supposed to buy something earlier?’
wait thought canceled how do you think he’d react to the slutty devil hunter costumes in the store. like how there’s slutty policemen/firemen outfits. he’s out there like wow. there is nothing remotely sexy about hunting devils. my uniform looks nothing like this. - 🍊
aki's literally such a dork, like ok he gets some of these things. he's not totally oblivious (mostly). he picks up every vibrator on the shelf and looks at the packaging trying to figure out the difference. he stands around all the stuff he doesn't know about and acts super confused in hopes a clerk will come by and ask if he needs help because he's too awkward to approach them. you catch him staring at the wide array of buttplugs reeeaaaally attentively and when you come up behind him and call his name he literally jumps out of his skin because of how focused he was.
he catches sight of the "devil hunter roleplay" costumes and you've just got to laugh at the look on his face. there's pretty normal ones for guys but the girl ones are essentially a croptop with a tie and a skirt. devil hunter cutie the packaging says. "nobody wears that, you'd get a suspension if you did." aki says, totally straight faced, and then he's messing with the fake plastic baseball bats, "and we don't use these either, by the way. it's not even accurate..."
honestly though, aki's pretty level headed when it comes to this sort of thing so if you asked him to buy something for you he wouldn't really have a problem with it. he'll happily buy lube or get you whatever dildo or vibrator you like and he'll even entertain the idea of the little discreet vibes you slip inside your underwear. he gives you a look like really? when you hold up the pink fuzzy handcuffs you want to buy but sighs in defeat when you say pretty please. he's already pulling out his wallet and whoops somehow you set a strap-on on the counter without him noticing and when he sees the cashier bagging it up after he paid for everything he stares at you so hard

"Venti stans are low key annoying complaining about Venti not being the main focus of the Windblume festival."
First off we do not care. Second off ok???? Literally every character stan complains about their fave not getting enough screen time hop off.
It isn't even about screen time for me. It's about the fact that Venti hasn't truly felt like Venti in several updates. The last time he truly felt like himself was during Weinlesefest but even then he still didn't feel like the Venti we met all the way back during the first archon quest. And I don't wanna hear "hE hAd cHaRaCtEr dEvLoPmEnT." Cause no that isn't what happened, he regressed as a character. He's becoming fanon Venti in game. He gets used for alcohol jokes and Paimon calls him lazy then he dips. 🙄
"He was just in the Lantern Rite.." Shut Up. Shut Up. Shut all the fucking way up! He was terrible in LR and honestly if you cut Venti out of LR you basically have the same event. He did literally nothing of substance and he shouldn't have been there at all.
The first Windblume festival centered around Venti and showed us more of Venti being Mondstadt's archon. The second Windblume festival has barely anything to do with him. Excuse us if we're fucking disappointed, we have every right to be. Like I said literally every character's stans complain about them not getting enough screen time. Yeah sure if every Mondstadt event centered Venti it'd get old but the biggest problem is they decided to center a MONDSTADT EVENT around fucking SUMERU CHARACTERS. Fucking Collei gets more screen time than any Mondstadt character. Which wouldn't be a problem but this is a main Mondstadt event. Even though Venti was in LR 3 he wasn't a main focus he was a background character to the rest of the cast. Which is what Collei should've been cut out Tighnari and Cyno.
Mondstadt has so many underutilized characters and their screen time got spliced for the Sumeru fuckers who already have too much screen time. The entire last five updates have had Cyno in almost everything and Tighnari as well and while Collei has less screen time than them she has yet to be under used. If this was about Collei meeting up with Amber again they could've had that in a different event. If this was about Collei facing her anxiety it could've happened in a different event. They should've just had Sucrose helping Mondstadters cause guess what? You think this is going to be the last time a nation's event gets characters bombarding in? Hell no Fontaine is coming soon we're one hundred percent going to get nation festivals with random characters that have nothing to do with anything probably until the end of the game.
We'll see how happy ya'll are when your fave gets less screen time for some randos that have nothing to do with the nation you care about.

Shinsou needs you to look at him so bad but also can't keep eye contact with you at all
Whore. Vying for your attention like a child only not being able to handle it cuz he's really just a baby deep down.
And you already know he can give the most dangerous pair of bedroom eyes if he really wants to, just has never liked someone as much as he likes you to actually want to use them seriously.
I feel like it's funny because, before you start dating, you think the reason he can't look you in the eye is just because he's aloof and doesn't care, but after you start, it's frustrating because it's so intimate and lovely and he still can't bring himself to do it! Despite always needing to be in your vicinity or up in your business, turning away the second you acknowledge him.
Getting-all-flustered-ass when you pay attention to him like he's not staring/glaring down everyone else... Yes, I would be kinda Pissed.
(It's really just because he's shy. Being all sexy and intimidating to keep people from thinking they can get all close to him.
The first time you go to the club together as a couple, you catch him giving sexy eyes to a guy chatting him up, and the second you walk over to confront him about it, he's melting under your gaze and ignoring the other person altogether... embarrassed and squirmy at the thought of you being mad at him but needing you to know it's just because he loves you so.
He just can't help it!!! And now the stranger is mad that you got him so easily... bamboozled.)
