Being the younger sibling to Signora, Scaramouche and Childe.

Warnings: Light Angst, Mentions of Blood
repost because it refused to show up in the tags. (hopefully it shows up this time)
Reblogs appreciated!
Signora
-When you first became the 12th Harbinger, you were very young.
-She was surprised to see someone so young, but didn’t dwell on it.
-She was a little worried for your safety, though.
-Around many people, she’s not very soft or kind. She only was soft towards the Harbingers in private. She definitely had a softer spot for you, though. She wont show it much in public, but in private she will be the best big sister.
-You had a bad day? She will shower you with affection- She’ll get you gifts, and give you money. But You’ll refuse the money since you literally both have the same job??
-She’ll offer to take you shopping but the last time you were feeling sad, she literally bought everything in 5 stores just to make you feel better and now you have more than 50 plushies in your room.
-So, you ask if you can both just stay inside. You would go on a walk with her but this was Snezhnaya and you’d rather not freeze to death while just trying to spend time with her.
-She’ll make you both some hot chocolate, get snacks, popcorn and the reason for her grabbing all of that is because movie night cuz movie night is awesome.
-she knows every movie you like so you're gonna watch like 10 movies all in one night.
-When baking, you’ll definitely eat the chocolate chips.
-If Signora catches you eating them, she’ll just scowl and say “Only a few.”
-I don’t see her as the type of person to train much unless it was necessary. She would teach you new techniques though and whenever you're training with Childe or Scaramouche, she’ll watch from afar and be the proud big sister.
-If you want to spend time with her in a calm manner, then you’ll both definitely go for tea. I see her as the type of person to know every tea that exists in Teyvat.
-If you ever get hurt, all her walls will break down. She won’t cry or anything, but she will panic a lot. She won’t care that you're both around the other Harbingers once you’re okay, she will immediately be soft around you.
-If you’re still hurt she will force you to rest while another Harbinger or Agent gets a healer.
-If you have long hair, she’ll definitely braid it and play with it. Short hair? She’ll comb/brush it.
-You’ll also brush her hair and help her style it.
-Ruin her hair? She’ll ignore you for a week. Never get food in her hair/start a food fight with her.
-And also NEVER ruin her clothes.
Scaramouche
-He’s the same as Signora.
-He’s surprised to see someone so young, but instead of Signora, he doesn’t really care about it.
-He will definitely be a tad softer towards you but not as soft as Signora is when in private.
-Though, when you get hurt/have a bad day he’s gonna be a little bit soft.
-His version of soft is just not being mean to you as much as he usually is.
-He isn’t very good at comfort, so don’t expect as many gifts you get from Signora.
-He has his own version of comfort. If a guy/girl broke up with you, he’d say:
-”You’re really gonna cry over them? They don’t deserve you- You’re a lot better than them. I’m sure there’s someone who’s way better than them out there. You don’t need a low-level person like them.”
-If you really do need it, then of course he’ll give you a hug but only for 5 seconds.
-He will absolutely find whoever broke your heart. If they’re a guy then OH they better watch out. If they’re a girl then he’ll get Signora.
-If you’re ever interested, he’ll tell you everything he knows about Inazuma. He will, of course, talk shit about the Raiden Shogun.
-If you show interest in it’s fashion and culture, he will definitely sneak back into Inazuma since he does it all the time and get you everything he can find there. Clothes, souvenirs, etc.
-He might even get you the hat he has.
-When he comes back and you see that all of that stuff is for you, you will hug him for more than 5 seconds.
-He will obviously say “It’s been 5 seconds” if you don’t let go, but he also won’t let go because he likes it.
-He’s touch starved oKAY.
-Please just give him hugs, he needs them.
-When baking, if he catches you eating some of the chocolate chips, he will use his Electro Vision on your hand- Not in a painful way, though. More in a ticklish way.
-He might even eat one too.
-I feel like he also knows a lot about Tea- seeing as Inazuma has a lot of tea house’s- Such as Komore Teahouse (?). So, he will either get tea with you or just make some if you’re not feeling like going out in the cold of Snezhnaya.
-When you get hurt, he’ll panic a little and find a healer immediately. He won’t stay by your side the entire time though- instead, he goes to find the treasure hoarders who hurt you and electrocutes them all.
Childe
-The moment he sees how young you are, his big brother instincts will kick in.
-You were so small and adorable!! Though, aside from all the cooing, he was a little worried for you. You reminded him of how young he was when he first joined.
-Because of that- this man will not leave you alone. He says it’s too protect you, despite being able to protect yourself.
-He knows you can protect yourself! You just remind him too much of your siblings.
-Though, if it really does start to get annoying, he will stop.
-Will train with you all the time and teach you new techniques.
-He’s worse than Signora when it comes to gifts.
-When he’s getting gifts/souvenirs for his siblings, he will immediately think of you and buy you EVERYTHING in every store he can find.
-You tell him that you don’t need that many gifts, but he says “nonsense” and KEEPS buying you gifts.
-You were grateful, but it did become a little too much.
-He’s very soft towards you. Doesn’t matter if it’s in public or private, get ready to be hugged a lot.
-He already considers you as family, and even sometimes refers to you as his little sibling.
-He’ll even introduce you to his siblings!
-If you ever get hurt, it breaks his heart at how you look: Bruised up and bloody.
-You were his family and he couldn’t protect you: It’s why he’s ALWAYS by your side- to protect you.
-He’ll be hesitant to leave your side once a healer comes, but he has to so he can kill whoever hurt you.
-Almost every camp of treasure hoarders is wiped out by the next day.
-When he catches you eating the chocolate chips while baking, he will eat them with you- to the point where he has to go buy more chocolate chips.
-Doesn’t know much about tea, so he will probably ask Zhongli whenever the two of you’re in Liyue and he’ll take you both to a teahouse.
-All in all, he, Scaramouche and Signora love you very much. You're their family.

Attention TW Fandom
Okay so I’m to this to actually lose it cuz I’ve been tumbling over a ridiculous amount of reposters on Wattpad. Like, whole books filled with reposted and stolen pictures and I just. have. enough.
Here’s what I found until now:
Imagenes Twisted Wonderland by Emily611
Imagenes de Twisted Wonderland y algunas cosas mas by miralda11
⟨ Twisted Wonderland ⟩ • Imágenes y traducciones • by AndyPanPan

(why so many spanish folks tho)
Seriously, I’m so exhausted just looking at this. Most of them have said “credit the authors/artists, they’re not mine and I don’t want problem” and I just want to say no. Stop. Stop thinking what you’re doing is okay and you’re actually being cool because you said that dumb excuse. Stating this won’t give any credit to the artists, you’re just proving to everyone how lazy you actually are by not making any effort into giving their names. You don’t know who drew this ? No problem ! Go make a reverse image search on the internet and look who did it, nothing simpler than that. But even if you even did the effort to do it, we’re still not done with you. Reposting a picture, a piece of writing or anything means posting it a second time on either the same social network or another, and if you’re not the owner of the item then you’re being illegal. Because you have stolen someone else’s work and claimed it as yours, wether you like it or not. So everytime I read “that picture isn’t mine but whoever did this’”, it’s. just. bullshit. Because all the fame this picture will earn will only go to them. People won’t magically know which artist made this or that drawing, and they won’t take them into consideration. For real, they’re being so direspectful to the whole community of artists, this is insane. Those artists work super hard to share their artworks with everyone and in the end, all the fame and acknowledgement they deserve to get will go to people who actually just don’t give a damn shit to them and just want their own recognition without making an effort. I think people really don’t see how disappointing and depressing it is for them and how it basically destroy their motivation to keep going, otherwise we won’t get those cases of reposting.
I don’t say it’s bad if you want to be famous, even if you don’t have the talent or the means to make your own drawings (or anything else) and post them. But find another way to reach your goal rather than by stealing others’ artworks. Because yes, some will like the content you “produce”, but others will know you deserve none of this fame and you’re just a thief.
To everyone reading this, if you see someone reposting someone else’s artwork(s), don’t stay here saying nothing ! But at the contrary go talk to that person and convince them (or at least have a talk with them) to take them down! I know it’s difficult to talk with a stranger, especially in this case because I feel like I’m seeking for fight to people who have asked for nothing. But otherwise, you’re just being as bad as the reposters since you’re aware of what they’re doing, you know it’s wrong, but you still don’t do anything.
I don’t know if in the end people will care about this, but I’m just so exhausted. There have been multiple case of reposts lately and I feel like not enough people pay attention to this and actually take action. Appreciating some arts is good, but never ever forget there’s someone behind it.
Edit: I add more names to the list as I keep findind them. Also, some of them are not only reposting fanarts but also the characters’ drafts from the Twisted Wonderland Artbook. I’ve already sent messages to take them down but seriously, they really aren’t aware of the troubles and the issues they might get... We’re talking about copyright issues here (+spoilers for those who don’t want to see its content), Disney and Yana Toboso themselves could take them to court if they happen to see it.

dear fanfic writers...
Thank you. Literally thank you.
that’s it, that’s the whole post.
this is just an appreciation post for all you who have written fanfiction before. If you have written about a fictional or even a non fictional character before, whether it be once or a million times, this is for you!
i just really hope that i don’t come off as too uneducated or incompetent because i literally joined this community like last month so uh tea.
i’m not a writer myself, but i am a reader.
to be honest, i was nervous about venturing onto this side of the internet because at least from what i’ve seen i feel like in the media or from my friends and family, fanfic kinda gets a bad rep for being “cringey”
BUT THAT COULDN’T BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH CUZ OH MY
Y’ALL REALLY OUT HERE WRITING BETTER AND MAKING BETTER STORIES THAN ACTUAL PUBLISHED BOOKS.
ALL OF YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND CREATIVE!
i am so glad that i found this comminuty
just so you know
YOUR WORK AND EFFORTS DO NOT GO UNOTICED!
even if you feel like nobody is reading it or paying attention, maybe it’s not getting the amount of reposts or likes that you were expecting.
i promise you that you have made at least one person smile.
as a girl who has only until recently found more self confidence (believe or not partially bc of this community) and has anxiety and depression and always escaped and sought comfort and solace in fictional worlds,reading headcannons, Au’s, one shots, drabbles, etc has helped me so much and made me so happy.
especially during this especially rough times (cough cough corona cough cough)
YALL ARE DOING GODS WORK LET ME TELL YOU
AND I FEEL YOU DONT GET ENOUGH CREDIT
WHICH YOU SHOULD SKSK
and YALL ARE SO NICE AND SWEET TOO
like you guys just have the best personalities
and you know what the people want!
i’m just overall fangirling and have mad respect for all of you.
please take care of yourselves and also don’t feel like you have fufill every single request or write until your hands fall off
TAKE BREAKS WHEN YOU WANT TO/IF YOU NEED IT
WE SUPPORT YOU
you deserve to enjoy what you’re doing and
just i am
so grateful for all of you.
i hope at least some of you find this post
i apologize for any punctuation or spelling errors if there are any
and honestly i wasn’t gonna write this i literally should be going to bed right now but the thought just wouldn’t leave me.
anyway
stay safe and take care!
and again thank you.

Is there any truth to the autism/changeling theory? I'm autistic and I've always felt an affinity and interest in fae folk. Also I want my true intent to be to see if I feel like I fit in cuz I often feel like an outsider, but in truth, a few wishes would be nice, but you said they don't like to be used. How do I change my intent?
((This was answered before in two posts, but I can’t seem to link them, so I’m reposting them here with both parts included. Warning: Atri got a little heated.))
The Fae Speak:
This is a huge topic, which involves learning about the real stories behind Changelings to begin with, and frankly, deserves it own full post for reference purposes, which is why Atri, and I have not gotten around to answer your other questions in our inbox yet. But for the sake of this conversation, Atri’s willing to add a brief response here.
Short story. People used to blame any unusual behavior, illness, or occurrence on the fae. It’s similar to how a lot of historical religious folk blamed any ‘different’ or ‘not in their line of beliefs’ a result of the devil. Simply put, it’s not true.
Humans have done far more viscous cruelty in the name of faeries to their own kind and children than even the fae have on a whole. Humans used to blame colic, a baby who not stop crying, or any abnormality physically or mentally on the fae. This couldn’t be THEIR child. Something otherly must be wrong.
Do you know how humans used to test an infant to see if they were a changeling? Hold them naked over a fire to see if they’d burn. People used to kill children - their own children because they thought they weren’t their own anymore just because they were sick or born a little different.
The thought that autism warrior mommies think of autism as ‘stealing their sweet normal child’ is DISGUSTING!
Just because a child is different does not mean there is anything wrong with them. Nobody took your fucking child. That is your baby - whole - completely - as their natural true self.
LOVE THEM.
Or we will fucking take them away.
That said, yes, there are fae that do really steal babies, and there are ‘changelings,’ but I’ll post about that on it’s own post in a bit.
(second post)
CHANGELINGS
The Fae Speak:
A lot of stories of Changelings were brought on by humans who could not understand or fathom their infants and children to possibly have anything wrong or different with them. When humans see something ‘wrong’ or ‘odd,’ they like to immediately jump to an outside source of blame because that is a way to process what is going on for them. Especially in times when people did not know or understand illness, or birth defects. A lot of innocent children were killed and hurt in the name of ‘being a changeling,’ and no longer the child they bore.
In a lot of those instances they were innocent children with the unlucky chance of being born into an unwelcoming family to having anything ‘wrong’ with.
That said, yes, fae are known for stealing babies. It’s true, although not all do it. There are many types of fae and species and intents vary tremendously.
Fae take babies for many reasons. Sometimes it’s simply because they like the child, so they take it. They do not see anything wrong with this. To them, they are welcome to anything. They see something they like, they take it. It’s theirs now.
Some may have other reasons, such as payment for something they are claiming on that you owe them.. or vengeance. Some species even may eat them.
So what do the fae do with them? Some may die before they even enter the feary realm. Some may want to raise them. The children will not be human anymore in ‘time.’ The longer a person or child is with the fae, the more fae they become, and will lose all sense of the ‘world’ where they started from.
The purposes and intents vary as individually as the individual fae.
Now, Changelings.
What do the fae leave behind?
If a fae decides to leave something behind in the baby’s stead, it is usually nothing really alive. The same way that a fae will pay with cash to someone who later finds the bills were merely leaves, fae will usually glamour something inanimate to sit there until it ‘dies.’
The most common ‘changelings’ are rocks or a lump of wood glamoured to look like your baby. The reason they seem ‘off’ or sick, is because they are not really a living thing at all. The glamour does not last forever, though, and the ‘baby’ will die. It is why changelings were SICK infants, stemming all the paranoia about any weird infant behavior.
If you think you feel related to a fae, you most likely are not a changeling. Changelings died in infancy or early childhood. Atri says his bet would be more on the offspring of a fae and human mating or something in their ‘line’. Although, he states most halflings if carrying traits of the fae parent, are taken with them, and again glamoured to look as if they were either still born, or lost in the womb. The halfling children walking around as human, are human for all intensive purposes. The fae genes are recessive and dormant, but you may feel a calling, or whispering of that heredity in you somewhere, and you may even have some ‘fae-ish’ traits.
——–
The Fae Speak - to Anon:
Your intent is offensive and rude. The fitting in part was nice, and understandable. Fae enjoy those who just simply appreciate and enjoy their company and don’t just want something, but considering you turned this about to be about granting wishes, he would like to tell you, they are not Tinkerbell and this is not Disneyland. Fae do not grant magical wishes. They help people they want to help, or those whom they feel they can get something from through a deal. How to change your intent? That is up to you and your true inner desires and wants. No body can change that for you.

So that means that you are okay with reposting? Because I understand the law, but I still think that creators deserve to be recognised, they worked hard on a piece and that is worth something. Is just basic respect. Also, that post says that reposting is okay because the law is clear and we are all wrong, it still means that anyone can take your work and repost it without mentioning you. So will that be okay? Would you be okay with it? I would still fight it even if the law says I’m wrong.
This is the only time I’m going to wade into the reposting debate because honestly I have more important things to stress about than the ethics of fan work distribution.Personally, I’m pretty neutral on the whole reposting issue. If it were original work that was copyright then I would be right there with the righteous indignation. But since it’s fanwork and I am both a creator and appreciator of the genre, I also see both sides of the issues. So I keep to the “to each their own” mentality.Yes, reposting is a dick move. And if a person reposts something knowing it belongs to someone else and a) doesn’t say so or b)tries to pass it off as their own, that’s a super dick move.But I don’t take it upon myself to get up on my soapbox and summon the hordes of tumblr to shame that person and their own personal beliefs about the ethics of reposting FANWORK (as in not their own original and copyright work).Look, I do my best to make sure anything I reblog has the original source included, but I’m human. and if I don’t include the source, usually a follower is kind enough to point it out in a private, polite private message and I can add the missing name/link whatever.(The holier-than-though pearl-clutchers who send me insulting messages meant to call me out or shame me for human oversight, those people get ignored and blocked. I despise callout culture, which instead of trying to help people has just become a way of people feeling better about themselves and wanting to show off how woke they are. The original message often gets lost in the ensuing troll wars.)With me so far? people who repost FANWORK are certainly within their rights to do so. Because they don’t. Actually. Own. It. But it’s generally recognized as asshole behavior so most decent people, especially creators, don’t do that (or at least not on purpose) to other creators. It is, as you said, a question of basic respect. Call it a code of professionalism even.But if you’re looking for respect on tumblr, you’re in the wrong corner of the internet.My work is FANWORK. It has been shared by countless readers/followers and yes, it has been posted without my permission on several sites. And the people who do it get away with it because they post them to sites in other languages where trying to get them to take my work down is next to impossible because navigating the sites is impossible. Am I happy with this?That’s another shades of grey question. Obviously it ticks me off that someone put my work somewhere without asking me (honestly I’d probably just say yes if they asked beforehand) but at the end of the day I know my work is fanfiction. I’m not entitled to any ownership of the characters or the setting, and even the plot only exists because the original creator set it up. So I can’t do anything about it, I might as well enjoy the free distribution. It’s someone reading my story.(Also, pretty sure that in my particular genre which people know my writing style and stories that they’d notice someone trying to pass off An Inch Of Gold or something else as their own.)Now, I would have a very different reaction if the work in question were my original story. If I had created something and gone through the trouble of getting a copyright for it and releasing it on the consumer market, I’d be a little cranky that someone took my work and was trying to pass it off as their own work. Then we would exchange not so nice words among other things.(Conversely, if anyone was writing fanfic about my original work I would be totally flattered and probably encourage the hell out of it.)That’s why I haven’t posted any information about the novel I’m working on. Because (*a little louder for the people in the back*) if you don’t want people using your work for themselves, don’t put it on the internet!I applaud your will to fight what is written into law, but I’d caution you to make sure you’re not just fighting for the protection of one subsection of fandom creators. I see so many posts grandstanding about the evils of reposting fanart because many of the artists depend on support from their fans to build their brands and make some money.Off fan work.That they don’t actually have a legal right to.And yet no one is writing long impassioned speeches about fanfic writers or fanvid creators being entitled to making money on the side.Because that’s plagiarism and profiteering right?But artists can sell their art at comicons and anime cons, and artists can make merchandise like hats and scarves and earrings using the likeness created by someone else.But if a fanfic writer wants to start a patreon, the public shaming begins.So if you want to stand up to a law protecting the creators from having their work circulate without giving them credit or recompense, by all means. But make sure you stand for all the creators and not just the ones who are more visible.Anyhow. That’s my rant for the day. It’s cool if you agree or don’t agree, cuz y’all are entitled yo your opinions. But that’s where I stand, within the wide sea of grey that is this issue.Cheers!

#98 - Cruising - 1980
“You worked him over like he shot the president or something. You destroyed that kid. You didn’t even have a case against him.”
…“I didn’t come on this job to shitcan some guy just ‘cuz he’s gay, captain.”
Sometimes we fail to appreciate the subtle impacts art can have on our worldview.
Films are a particularly great medium for spearheading social change, whether it be through films focused on a controversial topic, or short snippets, characters or thoughts appearing on screen.
Watching other people, even actors portraying characters, can help open our eyes to the fact we are all inherently the same.
Gay, straight, bisexual, we all have an inherent desire to love and be loved. We all share the same feelings and emotions. By allowing us to see the similarities we share with others, we are able to enter a dialogue and create and understanding.
While we have not achieved full fairness or equality, we are a much more open and compassionate society than we were 20-30 years ago.
Hollywood helped break those barriers, and many have received credit for their roles, yet Al Pacino does not seem to get the credit he deserves.
At a time when members of the LGBT community were arrested and persecuted for being themselves, Pacino played a gay man with a transsexual parter in Dog Day Afternoon, fought for the rights of a transgender male in And Justice for All and played an undercover cop searching for a killer in the gay community in Cruising. In the latter he called out his fellow officers on the mistreatment of homosexuals in the quote above.
Pacino himself has been credited as saying the following:
“I don’t understand the hatred and fear of gays and bisexuals and lesbians. It’s a concept I cannot grasp. To me, it’s not who you love. A man, a woman, what have you. It’s the fact that you love. That is all that truly matters.”
This post is the 98th post on my Instagram account moviecube covering topics I think are interesting. Feel free to give me a follow and thanks to myself for giving me permission to repost ;)
