🍮 Hu-baby is unpredictable. She loves cuddles because she's clingy. So she picks you up and gets you to bed at random times. When you're in the kitchen eating, she picks you up, together with your food, because she needs you.

🍮 Everytime you give into cuddles with her, she gives into it more. If she doesn't respond to it, you know there's something wrong, she's sad, or angry.

🍮 She climbs over and often lays on you while she's eating Doritos or something.

🍮 She's weird sometimes so she's gonna grip on your legs with her toes. But I hope you don't mind it.

🍮 She suffocates you like a dog, if you need space you need to tell her because she thinks your space is her space and the other way around.

🍮Big spoon, little spoon, for her is irrelevant. She'll just cuddle the hell out of you in the weirdest positions.

🍮 Using you as a support pillow when sleeping, Hu-tao is always laying with a leg over you. When she gets bored she turns around with your blanket. Argue over the blanket now.

🍮 In the morning you see her walking around in underwear with ghost patterns and socks, and when you wake up she needs to throw herself in bed like a wrestler to welcome your awake. Please dodge it while you can. (Or don't)

🍮 She baby talks to you while cuddling and patting you. You must love it. You're her chimpunk.

🍮 She falls out of bed.

🍮 She's open to everything, she's a crazy girl who can be crazy with you because she feels safe.

🍮 Eating seeds while cuddling with you: the bed, your chest and neck full of seeds...

🍮 Like a samurai, she seems distant at first, and doesn't seem like involving into physical touch that much.

🍮 Is easy to win her heart. Take care of it.

🍮 Once you got into cuddles with her, she's a bear. She won't notice she is holding you "captive" until you tell her and she'll apologize. She is surprisingly very warm. She heats you up with her body during nights.

🍮 Ayaka turns on the other side while sleeping, and she does so while holding you. You're casually traveling like a plushie. How does it feel to have a plushie life?

🍮 Once your in her arms, you're forever in her arms.

🍮After an intense training, Ayaka silently comes to you, sits in your lap and holds your head on her boobs.

🍮 She invites herself on your lap many times, leans on your back, reaches her hands around your neck; give her a big hug.

🍮 If you get that close, you can get under her dress to cuddle her, maybe.

🍮 Her energy is serene and warm. She's one of the calmest person you know. She smells like glittering nights and lavander, and her hair reminds you of the Moon.

🍮 You don't feel it when she comes into bed. She's as subtil as the night, and you only feel the pillows and sheets moving under while she takes you under her protective arms.

🍮 A big spoon most of the time, but secretly, she wants to feel protected and loved. She's the woman of your life. She'll forever protect you and cherish you.

🍮 You wonder what's inside a samurai woman's heart, and she makes you want to unlock all of her secrets.

Art credits 👆🏻

🍮Kokomi loves cuddles because it helps her concentrate reading.

🍮She tries to seem formal and polite but she's actually a very touchy person, with an adorable desire to cuddle whenever given the chance.

🍮Kokomi is the sweet girl that smells soft and tender, like white pearls and cocolino (kokolino). She's an all day pijama girl who uses body butter after every shower to feel good in her skin.

🍮The first thing you love when cuddling Kokomi is her alluring smells, other than her soft and touchable body. Her long thin hands feel feather like on your body.

🍮When she doesn't notice, Kokomi will accidentally grip and hold you too hard, her hands turning from feather soft to dumbbell hard. She gets a little too excited sometimes and she notices fast and apologizes for it repeatedly.

🍮Her hair is tied in a bun while she's eating bird egg sushis, in her bears pijamas, reading a book entitled "The secrets of war".

🍮 Kokomi is a clean girl in a messy burrow, but you two manage well in her little house. As messy as it is, it's what makes it comfy. The smell of old and fresh books combined, together with Komomi's unique scent and gentle voice. Kokomi definetely prefers to be a little spoon. The strong leader wants to feel the warmth and be vulnerable in someone's arms when she's with you.

🍮Kokomi loves feet massages, after long days of standing up, she'll trust you with her feet, which are tensed, and become softer after your rubs. She wouldn't let anyone touch her feet but you.

🍮She gives you foot massage back. Kokomi is ambitious to give back what she receives and make you feel good too. Her soft and gentle hands feel so good on your feet, and she progressively starts rubbing harder and applying pressure. She's so careful with you.

🍮 Body massage is always involved in cuddling, Kokomi's back is formidable. She moves her hair to the side and reveals her naked back all for you. You massage her pinkish white skin for both of your satisfaction. The texture of her skin is purely relaxing.

🍮 And sleeping with Kokomi is a beautiful dream, your legs always end up intertwined, she rubs your feet with hers out of deep affection or to warm you up on cold nights.

🍮 in the mornings, she applies cream on her face and hands, and comes to you like a mama bird to put cream on your face and hands too.

🍮Kokolina.

🍮Author's note:

Had most fun on Kokomi's part. I love it.

Update on life: All I wanna say is that summer depression is the worst. I am back after losing my account and getting it back, (THANKS TO JOHNNY FROM TUMBLR SUPPORT! I LOVE YOU JOHNNY!) And also I got kidnapped by aliens. If you know you have a request left in my box, don't worry. I'll get to it.

Update on delusional part of life: I am obssesed with Cloud Strife, now I am obssesed with Tokio Hotel. Many things happened. Oh god I love Bill Kaulitz.

He would be uh.. surprised? I mean who wouldn't be when their partner enters their house with a dirty puppy in hand?

Don't misunderstand, he wouldn't have a problem with it! He just lacks the instinct to rush over and take care of it. If you need help with bathing it, he would be there for you of course. Adeline is already notified to get some food suitable for such a young animal.

Once the dog is all clean and fed, it's time to make the enviroment comfortable for him too. A soft blanket for him to sleep on and maybe some toys he can play with! Diluc would never admit, but he grew fond of your new buddy rather quickly. You can tell by how much he cares for his comfort - be it the top quality dog food he ordered, the whole box of toys for him to enjoy, or just genuinely the way he looks at the fella. The bond between them is already showing.

After a few weeks he might even let him sleep on the bed with you. If the puppy is calm and isn't messy, it might turn into an everyday thing.

ℍ𝕦 𝕋𝕒𝕠 - 🐦

OH ARCHONS WHAT DID YOU DO

She would try to bury the poor injured bird. Please do NOT leave it alone with her under ANY circumstance until that poor animal is fully recovered.. She means no harm! It's just.. an instinct!!?

I'm so sorry but you have to take care of it alone. No matter how much you love Hu Tao, you just can't trust her with these things. Sure, she can accompany you to Bubu Pharmacy while you purchase some medicine and herbs to heal the bird, but the responsibility of actually taking care of it falls into your hands alone. Trust me, it's for the best.

Once the bird recovers, it would only take them a few days to become absolute best buddies. Your original plan was to let it go after it was healthy and able to fly, but no. The bird will not leave no matter what you do.

You now have a bird living on your balcony. Hu Tao named it Fanhui (返回 - meaning 'return' in chinese)! It's just so thankful for your help and love that it refuses to leave, which is cute! And Hu Tao loves it too!!

𝕊𝕔𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕞𝕠𝕦𝕔𝕙𝕖 - 🦝

Do not let him see it. I am not kidding. Do NOT let him see it.

If he happens to notice it.. archons please protect that poor animal. He will call it all sorts of names, such as 'stinky', 'useless', 'ugly'.. if that raccoon would know human language she would be crying in shame.

Please protect her from him. Don't trust him with any business regarding her. Not even buying stuff for her. In the first few weeks he would do ANYTHING to ruin her life.

Listen, at some point you just have to sit him down, look deep in his eyes and lecture him about the animal you brought home. She's not a pest, she's injured and needs help, she also has feelings. If he won't stop being grumpy about it, take away his kiss and cuddle privileges until he stops (it will work 100%, don't worry).

Congratulations, you can now trust him to buy food for her. He still calls her names sometimes, but it's not that bad anymore. Sometimes, on rare occasions, you can even catch him call her by the name you gave her. How adorable.

𝕏𝕚𝕒𝕠 - 🐱

In a nutshell: acts like he doesn't care, secretly adores her and pets her for hours while you sleep.

You will often notice her feasting on something when you arrive at home. You're sure she finished eating before you left, how is her bowl full again? It's not hard to figure the culprit out though. But please warn him not to feed her too much, you don't want that cat to roll around the house like a ball.

More often than not, he takes her to Wangshu Inn with him. He sits her down next to him to watch the sunset. So cute.

Don't worry he isn't forgetting about you either! He just treats her like his child, and of course, you as the other parent! You definitely have bracelets that match with the cat's collar, nobody can ever change my mind.

Overall, despite his efforts to hide it at first, he treats her like family. No, he treats the two of you like family<3

Yandere! Occult club member! Hu Tao

Admirer profile

🥀Hu Tao grew up being exposed to death alongside the collective sorrows that come with it. Since her family was well known for their funeral parlor as their Moto was to always respect the wishes of the dead.

🥀As she grew older she became obsessed with the concept of death as it fascinated her from how all things can come to an end in a flash. Taking from example the unexpected car accident her parents got into that lead her to becoming the next head Director of the business.

🥀The unfortunate incident taught her the significance of living life to the fullest as the inevitable end would always grow near. So when she enrolled at the institution she joined the occult club so that she can witness the essence of death in all its grim glory.

🥀Some may find her morbid upbeat nature a bit odd and take it the wrong way. thanks to that she had a tough time making friends who’ll stick around. So when she met you she was so happy she could almost die.

🥀Even if you were entertaining her for the time being she was thankful for having someone around. And should you manage to completely win over her heart, the things she’d do for you would be the following…

🥀 She’d gladly sabotage someone who gives you any trouble through the usage of “innocent” fun pranks since she’s known to be a bit of a hyperactive prankster.

🥀Her pranks range from harmless to dangerous but it’s only dangerous if she feels as if the image of death is being disrespected or if you tell her ahead of time that you’re in a big pinch.

🥀She’ll also play pranks on you from time to time to catch you off guard but for the most part they’ll be harmless ranging from jump scares to misplacing your things. Until she decides to up the ante should she feel that you’ve been neglecting her.

🥀 She’s exceptionally good at composing poems as one of her hobbies so if you need help in any subjects pertaining to English she’ll help you boost your study points!

🥀There’s a potential chance that she may give you access into her funeral parlor and invite you to help her do some questionable things in secrecy. If her trust in you is high enough.

🥀Hu Tao is a fun person to be around despite her brash eccentric behavior. She’ll often try to take you for an adventure if you let her! Although it may be a treacherous journey, it’s can be very rewarding if you make it out alive.

#class is now in session!

Ft: Hu Tao, Barbara, Zhongli, Childe, and Gn! Reader

College au!

in which each character gets their own major and school headcannons

𝙃𝙪 𝙏𝙖𝙤

Mortuary science major without a doubt

Gives off chaotic theater kid vibes as well

Has definitely brought an Ouija board to multiple different sleepovers on multiple different occasions

She’s that one friend that gives you oddly frightening fun facts. Facts that make you go “why does she know that?”

“Did you know that if you eat around 10 crushed black cherry pits there’s enough cyanide to kill you?”

Just leaves you sitting there like ma’am how do you know that?

Hu Tao would peer pressure you into joining theater with her

If you have stage fright she’d find a way to expel it from you

In class she can be very committed to work

If you sit next to her however, that’s a different story

has surprisingly good grades ngl

you sometimes wonder how she keeps up with the work while simultaneously goofing off in class

it frightens you sometimes

like she was dead asleep in class one time and nothing would wake her up

until the professor asked her a question

She sat up really quickly and answered it correctly

you just stared at her like🤨

needless to say you quickly stopped questioning her abilities as a student after that

Barbara

choir kid without a doubt

like no explanation needed

no fr barbs literally has the most angelic voice you’ve ever heard

you probably met in a music theory class

let me just tell you this lady is the most respectful roommate EVER

omg her room is always so clean and tidy it’s just like

miss please teach me your ways I beg🧎🏾‍♀️

stright A student without a doubt

her classes are probably all honors too

with the occasional AP

Not exactly a “teacher’s pet” but like is always willing to help them out

She probably becomes a teacher’s aid at one point

please let her tutor you, she loves it

Ayaka

Dancing major without a doubt

she’s taking a business class too

and also studies traditional Japanese calligraphy

listen I didn’t wanna be the one to say it but

she was the kid who reminded to teacher they had homework in middle school

IT JUST MAKES SENSE💀

if you’re a dance major too, she will always partner with you

another respectful af roommate

she cooks too

and it’s absolutely delicious

like she will cancel any takeout you order and will cook herself

another star student

it always surprises you how she can keep up her grades with her 17 different extracurricular activities

Zhongli

let’s be honest he probably is the professor💀

he’d teach world history without a doubt

that or AP English

i can’t see him as a math teacher

most def the teacher that everybody loves

he’s well aware too

i like to think he takes a little pride in being “the coolest teacher”

yeah let’s be honest he probably subtly humble brags ab it in the teachers lounge😭

he’s also the teacher that everybody trys to guess his age and terribly fails at it lmao

Struggles a LOT with technology

when he first tried to use a smart board he got so frustrated he never used it again

probably the only teacher who still uses textbooks and whiteboards

back in his college days I can kinda see him being a philosophy major

but he changed career choices and became a professor instead

Childe

STILL hasn’t figured out his major lmao💀

he fr changes it like every 3-5 business days

without a doubt he got in on a sports scholarship

med avg grades

i can see him struggling in math idk he just seems like the type of guy I can’t explain it

another one who is a really awesome cook

hes probably involved in a frat house ngl

if you’re roommates expect little to no sleep

heavy college fuckboy vibes

but in an endearing way

idk this is really random but in grade school he was the kid at the water fountain who would say “one, two, three, that’s enough for me” whenever someone was more than three seconds

He also would pick a fight with the 8th graders when he was in like 3rd and after he lost he’d tell his friends that he beat up an 8th grader

def a partier

he’d drag you out to parties late at night

but he always makes sure your comfortable and safe at them

love a respectful man fr

please help him in math he’s begging

Genshin impact hcs for every nation pt.2

Liyue edition!

Info: OOC? Mentions of other characters, writing sucks, sorry if I get some lore wrong with some characters! Fyi, none of this is cannon besides the occasional lore mentions

Baizhu: Whenever the cold winters of Liyue roll around, Baizhu has to make sure that both him and Changsheng are cozy because if they don't. They both can fall ill very quickly. Baizhu normally wraps a scarf around his neck so both him and Changsheng are warm due to the fact that Changsheng normally wraps around Baizhu's neck

Beidou: Since Beidou wears an eyepatch, a lot of people have made theories on what's behind it. Is it just a regular eye? Does she have a terrible scar underneath? Is it due to a battle? Who did she fight? Spoiler alert: It's the first one, but she always gets a laugh out of the really crazy ones

Chongyun: Chongyun is secretly really good at checkers. He takes pride in it along with embarrassment since he has no clue how to play chess

Ganyu: Ganyu absolutely loves the quiet and hates loud noises, but there's this one sound that she will forever despise, and that is windchimes. Every time she hears them, she just wants to rip it off of the ceiling and break all the metal bars in half. Of course, she never does, but she'll immediately leave if she hears it. Heaven forbid someone gets her a windchime as a present

Hu tao: Being a director of a funeral parlor and talking with ghosts for a long time somewhat impacts your vision on mortals, so Hu tao has grown a sixth sense of reading people. She can tell whether they're lying, worried, or pretending to be fine whenever they are fuming with anger. Sometimes, it gets a bit bad that she misses out on social cues

Keqing: With the large amount of paperwork Keqing puts on herself, she offen gets hands cramps. Sometimes, they get so bad that she has to take a break for a few minutes so the bones of her hands don't feel like they're about to break apart

Ningguang: Since Ningguang is the richest person in Tevyat, she occasionally spends her mora on random items just for the fun of it. Her favorite items she's bought over the recent years are candles. She's grown so attached to it that she's started up a collection

Qiqi: Since Qiqi needs a notebook to remember everyone she's met, Yaoyao decided one day that she would help Qiqi with the notebook, decorating it in cute stickers, highlighters, doodles, and occasional photographs

Shenhe: Shenhe has dissociative amnesia, specifically generalized. This means that she offen forgets where she went, what she did, who she spoke to, what she experienced, or even who she is

Xiangling: Xiangling, being the spicy cook herself, she doesn't actually check how much spices she puts in her food for the customers. Does she still use measuring cups? Yes, but sometimes they can be a bit overfilled

Xiao: When all of the yakshas were still around. Normally, the girls would help Xiao with his red eye makeup, only after they died tragically. The last yaksha had to learn how to do his own makeup, to say it was hard... was an understatement. Xiao eventually went to Zhongli for help, the geo archon being met with a sad Xiao, looking at the floor with messy red eye makeup. Don't worry, Zhongli taught Xiao, and he got the hang of it

Xingqiu: Xingqiu secretly has a condition called vasovagal syncope, which means that his body makes him pass out whenever he gets injected with a needle. Before, he thought he had a fear of needles, but when he saw Baizhu about it, he told the young writer that he actually had vasovagal syncope. Which made much more sense to Xingqiu afterward

Xinyan: Xinyan secretly loves having fun on playgrounds, but especially the swings. Whenever she comes across a playground with swings, she'll immediately stop what she's doing, run up, and try to get as high as she could

Yanfei: When in the chasm with the rest of the group, Yanfei actually got slight burn scars when fighting off those enemies due to how hard she was hitting her fireball

Yaoyao: You would expect Yaoyao to be another one of those kids whose toys are all dirty from dragging them around in the mud or one of those kids who forgets their stuffed animal, but Yaoyao is the complete opposite! She always double checks that Yuegui is in her basket, and she doesn't have to worry about Yuegui getting dirty since it's easily washable

Yelan: Whenever Yelan gets bored from time to time, getting stuck dealing with paperwork instead of going out on fun adventures. She'll train her hand to do neat tricks with her pen. She's gotten so good at it to the point where she'll zone out while her fingers mechanically rapidly spin around her pen

Yunjin: The reason why Yunjin's stage is normally warm colors with lantern lights in the background is because she can't stand flashing lights. It makes her feel dizzy, and she can never concentrate

Zhongli: Being an archon, over the years, Zhongli has come to be an expert in fashion. Just take a look in the history books and see some of the outfits he's worn! People have sometimes begged him to let him help them with fashion, but that's Zhongli's secret talent and only his. No if's or but's

If you repost this on another website, please give credit. Any like or repost is greatly appreciated -dixidin

# MORNINGS OFF

✰ synopsis: mornings off with your bae — your birthday

✰ character(s): hu tao x gn!reader (pronouns aren’t mentioned)

✰ content warning: nothing just fluff

✰ note: a rework of something i wrote a long while ago.

the feeling of the morning sun suddenly shone onto your face making you squirm. humming in annoyance as you rolled around in the bed sheets. in a failed attempt to search for the missing duvet, you slowly returned to laying on your stomach.

though the sudden awakening, you were enjoying the sun. the warmth of it on your bare skin was enough to lull you back to sleep. that was until you felt a pair of familiar eyes staring into the back of your head.

“..mmm, stop staring i’m trying to sleep,” you grumbled into your pillow.

“come on! you can at least be a little more enthusiastic to see me.”

even with your back facing her you can always tell she’s wearing her signature cheeky smile. a smile that you’ve quite knowingly and undeniably grown to love. it can be non-other than your girlfriend, hu tao.

you sighed, as you flopped yourself onto your back, your eyes squinting from the light shining through the window. only to see her silhouette kneeling over you. her untamed hair surrounding her face as her eyes gleamed in the sunlight. “good morning.” she greeted. you sighed in defeat, to lazy fight back against your unsettling awakening as you murmured a ‘good morning’ back.

“love..” she said as her expression softened, “you do know what day it is right?”

“um, a tuesday..?” you guessed.

the brunette giggled sleepily as she moved her body closer to yours, sliding her legs up your torso. watching those cherry-red eyes gape at you. pursing her lips as they grew into a sly grin.

“aiya, it's your birthday silly. honestly, what would you do without me, forgetting your birthday,” playfully shaking her head teasingly. “i guess i’ll have to stay with you forever.” ugh how melodramatic. eyeing your girlfriend as her hand was placed on her forehead as she held her head back, waiting for a response.

you whined before pushing your lover off of you with your hands. “ugh i’m going back to sleep.” pulling the duvet over your head as you turned to your side. and to your surprise, the apartment fell silent. content with the level of noise you close your eyes, ready to fall back to sleep. and unfortunately for you, hu tao had other plans.

gradually, gentle hands crawled up your hips and up to your waist. your initial thinking was that you had finally swayed hu tao into resting for a bit longer. although that idea got shut down rather quickly as your girlfriend turned you over to face her once again. “boo!” your girlfriend exclaimed. “did i scare ya?” earning a raised eyebrow on her side.

“ughh come on (first name)! you promised to go out today, you even took a day off just for this. it’s morally wrong to not celebrate!” hu tao groaned, her plump lips pouting ever so slightly in an act to sway you.

“since when have you ever cared about whether things were morally right or not? the advertising that goes into that funeral parlour of yours is what should be considered morally wrong.” you snort.

“hey! you know that’s the main reason we—“ she retorted before briefly getting interrupted by your lips on her. your hands cupping her soft, delicate cheeks as you felt your lover quickly ease into the kiss. you can’t help but smile, making it obvious how much you were enjoying this.

slowly pulling away from the kiss as your lover’s cheeks reddened. “i-“ “shh, i know, i know.” you whispered, one hand combing through her hair whilst the or slid down to her back, keeping you two close. smiling as you felt her breath on your ear, your head resting comfortably on her shoulder.

it felt as if the world fell silent. the only sounds being both of your breathing heard as you two were encased in each other’s warmth, her arms encapsulating you. knowing full well that neither one of you wants a rare moment such as this to end.

due to unforeseen events at the funeral parlour, your girlfriend, hu tao has been working longer hours. leaving you stranded inside your twos abode, the only you two time spent together is being tangled up together in your shared bed during the night.

“(name)?”

“yes, love?

“we’re still going out, right?”

“of course.” smiling as you snuggled closer into her neck, her familiar scent filling your nose.

“do you wanna know something?” hu tao whispered as she clutched onto your shoulders to drag you into her view.

“yeah?”

“i love you.”

“i know.”

“hey!”

watching as her plump lips shifted into a pout, gaping directly into your eyes.you chuckled as you reassured, “i’m only joking,” failing miserably to hide your smile.

“i love you too.”

[windwheeler-aster]

you’re back!

summary: after being away for so long, hu tao is more than happy to welcome you back into her arms.

masterlist | advent calendar

pairing: hu tao x reader

reader info: uses gender neutral pronouns (they/them), reader is in an established relationship with hu tao, and reader is not traveler

word count: 563 words

genre: romance, (slight) hurt/comfort

format: headcanons and blurb

warning: clingy/touchy behavior, 

a/n: i realized how much i loved hu tao while reading this. if that is quite obvious in this,,, it was intentional 💖

hu tao hates when you go on trips alone

she doesn’t let it show though

she tries to act all happy and chipper as she sends you off, clumsily kissing you goodbye as she murmurs sweet ‘i love you’s into your cheeks

but for the time you’re gone, hu tao is vulnerable

she feels insecure and lonely, and a little bitter too

and she feels “childish” for those feelings too, so she mostly just bottles them out

she tries not to let it get to her, and to just focus on work

but the nights are hard, when all she has is just her own thoughts

until you came home, unexpectedly early for your trip

and suddenly hu tao is sprinting out of bed to greet you properly

Not a minute had passed before you were greeted by your loving girlfriend, Hu Tao.

She had flung herself into your chest, wrapping her arms and legs around your body as she did. A gentle sigh tickled your neck as Hu Tao placed her head in the crook of your neck. She was light and adorable, dressed in one of your shirts and her shorts. Once you looked down to her, however, she craned her neck to look up at you, giving your chin an accidental kiss.

“I missed you!” she whined, squeezing you tighter now.

“Ah, easy on the ribs, baby,” you murmured, gently patting Hu Tao’s head. 

Slowly, Hu Tao’s feet touched the ground once more. She still peered up at you, but only so she could kiss your jaw and neck hungerly. Although her lips were so soft and light on your skin it felt ticklish, ripping laughter out of you.

“Do you know how mean you were, leaving me all alone?” Hu Tao whispered, a desperation gripping her tone. Desperate for you, Hu Tao thinks to herself. For your company, for your attention, for your love, for your touch, for your—

“I’m sorry, babe. Really, I am,” you assured her further by pressing a kiss to the crown of her head. “I promise I won’t take any more trips without you.”

Hu Tao pushed herself off from you, and stopped craning her neck so much. She looked you in the eye with such seriousness and vulnerability, it shook you. “You promise?”

“Cross my heart, hope to die,” you recite to her, bringing one of her hands up to your cheek. Then, you pressed a chaste kiss to her palm and smiled at her. With your other hand, you extend your pinkie out to her. “I pinkie promise, Hu Tao.”

She smiled and linked her pinkie around yours. Hu Tao’s cheeks did warm at the action, as she knows it’s childish to depend on an oath as silly as a “pinkie promise.” But then she looks at you, whomst eyes burn with such genuine care that Hu Tao’s cheeks warm even more. Just with a simple gaze, she managed to feel love soak deeply into her body. And, despite the weeks of loneliness and self loathing she experienced, she thought this love was all worth it.

But there was one more thing she needed from you.

“Well, you can always make it up to me with some cuddling. Right?” Hu Tao murmured, pulling you away from the entrance. “C’mon. I made sure to keep your side of the bed warm for ya.”

[1eaf-me-alone]

so I was thinking of Genshin characters in a road trip. As in if you stuffed them all in a van and the consequences that would happen (hint - It would be totally chaotic and I love it)

well here’s my opinion….

𝕲𝖊𝖓𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖓 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖘 𝖎𝖓 𝖆 𝖗𝖔𝖆𝖉 𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖕

Sayu: the sleeper, would definitely be snoozing the whole time during the trip. Would not give a fuck of where you’re going as long as she gets good sleep

Kazuha: the peace keeper, trying to maintain the calm and noise in the van,

Hu Tao: probably the most fun person there but also the slight trouble maker (probably hid the snacks for herself)

Xiao: fhe’s sitting in the back with his arms crossed extremely unamused looking like a moody teenager listening to death metal with his headphones in

Klee: the needy child, keeps nagging everyone probably asks “are we there yettttt” every few seconds, wants to pick the music herself. To prevent her from causing destruction was probably placed in front of a screen to watch movies or something.

Jean: the driver (poor woman) probably also planned the whole trip

Diluc: sitting grumpy at the back because he was forced to come

Aratakki Itto: the one that keeps changing the music and is annoying everyone

Kuki Shinobu: telling Itto off- and making it her responsibility to make him behave well

Bennett: unlucky person- as soon as he stepped into the van it somehow broke down, also the one to spill drinks and vomit (making everyone leave)

Zhongli: old grandpa reminiscing at the back but no- one is listening to him because he’s repeated the same story multiple times. Also it’s too noisy

Xinyan: is the whole band

Albedo: found him at the trunk of the van- people didn’t even know he was there. Wasn’t even invited but still chilling at the back. (Klee probably persuaded him to come)

Ningguang: follows the luxury life. Probably fills half the trunk with the luggage, also brought those comfortable head cushions and earplugs. Gets the window seat- no debate

Ayaka: see above (Ningguang’s) - but also brought a fan

Yae Miko: sitting back and seeing the whole mess unfold but doing nothing about it-

Kaeya: guy flirting at the back but also eating all the snacks.

Amber:The optimist- you guys will be stuck in traffic and she’ll smile and somehow make something optimistic out of it

Heizou: having the time of his life watching Sherlock episodes obnoxiously loudly whilst everyone there sitting grumpily.

I NEED SOMEONE TALENTED TO DRAW THIS WHOEVER WILL IS AMAZING

hu tao would absolutely have a youtube channel where she just does weird shit like “how to cremate a body” and “tour of the funeral parlor” and get banned

[mewsmagic]

This was part of my last post, I figure Hu Tao would go all out with the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor advertisement in a modern setting, so I felt like making a whole new art just for that would be hilarious LOL

Ik the part mentioning Zhongli sounds more like a magazine cover thing but I just HAD to do it, it was stronger than me HLAKUSHDALKSUD

The text says:

"WANSHENG FUNERAL PARLOR, Best prices of the year! 15% OFF on your first coffin! 'It's unmissable' says Zhongli, Wangsheng's consultant loved by everyone!"

M.U.S.E. Event Case 004. Hu Tao x Female Reader

◇ Report submitted by: Moderator Angel on ▇▇▇▇.

gory descriptions of murder, English lessons, horrible spelling

CASE FILE. MUSE-004

CLASS. POLTERGEIST

SEVERITY. 6 / 10

DESCRIPTION.  While investigating the unnatural death of a woman found bludgeoned in her home, an investigator had wandered up to the attic in order to investigate further into the house. Shortly after, his body came cascading down the stairs with a wooden object lodged deep within his throat, dying shortly after at the bottom of the stairs just as the woman had. Officials realized that the cause of the woman’s death wasn’t a murder, but rather an attack from a supernatural entity. They proceeded to call the appropriate authorities soon afterward.

A woman in her forties was found dead at the bottom of the stairs with her frontal lobe crushed to a fine and bloody paste. A few feet away was the blood-soaked object of a lamp that seemed to be the cause of this woman’s death, glass shattered everywhere as the base of the lamp was bashed so hard against the woman’s head, there were still fragments of it lodged deep within her skull. 

Authorities report that the cause of her death was a mystery. The woman lived alone and the only plausible explanation for her death was a run in with an intruder. But after a thorough examination throughout the house, authorities have confirmed that there were no traces of a break in from all entrance and exit points of the house. 

So what caused her death really? An accident? But that wouldn’t explain the lamp wound. A psychotic episode? But her medical reports stated that she was in a perfectly content state. The answer to her death was a simple one, really; and all it took was for one unsuspecting investigator that just so happened to stumble upon the attic. 

Downstairs heard a scream, and then another body came tumbling down the stairs just as the woman had. This time with a chair leg sticking out of his neck, his words trying to gurgle out of his throat but failing due to all the blood he was losing out of all the wrong places. 

The head investigator swallowed a lump, amidst the panic of his team he looked up at the stairs and felt a chill run down his spine. There was a smile, only there for a second and yet a smile nonetheless. Mocking him as it disappeared quicker than a flash, seemingly beckoning for him and his crew to come closer to find out. 

But he already knew the cause of this woman’s death, as that smile was the only clue he needed to conclude this investigation. 

This house was haunted by a poltergeist. 

Eyes glazing over the board, you itched at the surface of your wrist while contemplating whether or not you wanted to take on a job request before heading home for the night. You were a bit short on cash lately due to having to buy some new night equipment, but it was worth it as it made killing that banshee all the more easier last time you were stuck in a crisis.

Yawning, your eyes landed on a peculiar case of a murderous poltergeist found a few towns over. Apparently, according to the news article plastered in sloppy ink, there was a murder of two people in a house after having an encounter with a poltergeist in the attic. A woman in her forties who was the owner of the house, and an investigator who accidentally came in contact with the spirit after deciding to explore the attic. Both victims’ lives ended with being pushed down the stairs, along with an object lodged in the top part of their bodies. 

“Interesting…” you mouthed, tearing the wrinkled article off its pin. “I’ve never seen a poltergeist this aggressive before...” 

In all your years of hunting monsters, all the poltergeists you’ve encountered were nothing short of annoying. Sure they’ve hurled objects at you, locked you in rooms, and even tried to throw you around a few times, but they’ve never actually tried to kill you before. 

In short, poltergeists as a whole were just annoying little ghosts who needed a little exorcism. So why was this one so brutal in its attacks? Your curiosity was just too insatiable not to take on the task, and you decided that this job would be the perfect way to end your night. 

…Said no one ever.

“Zhongli, can I take this one?” you turned back to the front desk and saw the old man shifting through some paperwork. His eyes narrowed in focus while his pen scribbled out incoherent words. “Hm?” he didn’t even look up from his pen and made a gesture with his hand. “Let me see?”

Your footsteps silent against the wooden floors, you handed him the news article and watched as he readjusted his spectacles to read through the blotchy print. “A 6/10? For a poltergeist?” even Zhongli seemed concerned. “That can’t be right, poltergeists are rated either a 4 or lower depending on the space they inhabit.”

His concerned eyes reached yours like an overprotective father to his daughter. “This could be quite dangerous, Y/N. I’ve never seen a poltergeist hold such a high rating before.”

“Which is exactly why I want to take it,” you grinned a bit too confidently. “I’m curious as to why such a low-ranking monster is ranked so high for this specific anomaly. I mean, nothing is out of the ordinary about this creature except for the fact that it killed people.”

“Which is precisely why I’m a bit worried,” Zhongli let his eyes wander through the article one more time. “Perhaps the entity at hand isn’t really a poltergeist. There is a good chance this entity was categorized falsely.”

“Well, we’ll never know unless I confirm it,” you smirked whilst fastening your backpack. “C’mon, I’ve handled way more dangerous monsters before. This’ll be a breeze.”

“Sigh, you speak of this like it’s squashing a fly,” the old man shook his head and reached for his stamp. “But, I know you are a talented monster hunter, so; I will approve this just for you. 

With a loud stamp against the paper with his seal of approval, you grinned and quickly grabbed your things. Ready to head a few towns over to exorcize what could be the cause of your death. 

Oh how exciting this job was!

The town of Wangsheng was a dreary one to say the least. Clouds overtaking the sky in a blanket full of grey, homes boarded up and locked to keep all the intruders out. And, speaking of intruders, you were treated one as well considering your newest arrival amongst a town full of tightly-knit residents. 

Every step you took, every glance you made, it was followed by the scowls and glares of the residents nearby who seemed to keep their eyes tightly pinned on you. Almost as if you were a walking freakshow yourself, made to be watched and gawked at by people who thought you were the anomaly. 

“Excuse me, do you know where the Li-Mei residence is?”

At the sound of the unfortunate victim’s name, the man you asked flinched and shoved you away. You easily finding your footing and keeping your stance despite being shoved so abruptly. 

“Get lost. If you’re here to ghost hunt then that’s just plain disrespectful.” 

The man sneered at you while you could only watch in confusion. The locals around you only bad mouthing your encounter in secret as you stood there puzzled and in disarray. ‘Ghost hunting…’ you pondered for a bit and came to a conclusion. ‘In the few days that it took for me to get here, word must’ve spread about the murderous haunting here on that house.’

You looked around at the shady bystanders and chewed your lip at the sight. 

‘Ghost hunters… No wonder these people are all skeptical. They’ve probably been bothered by enough rambunctious teens and fake exorcists.’ You quickly caught up with the man and tugged on his sleeve. “Excuse me.”

“Girl are you deaf–?” the man froze when you shoved your MUSE ID into his face, your own being stern and tightly composed while you spoke. “Sir, I am a certified monster hunter from MUSE. I have come to exorcize the anomaly haunting the Li-Mei residence. Now please, kindly tell me where the Li-Mei residence is located so that I may complete my job.”

The man only blankly stared at the ID in silence, eyes dilating from each and every word printed on there, before shifting to your ID photo. Sure enough, you were the real thing. 

“Hmpf…I suppose you’re no phony,” he folded his arms and pointed to a tall hill on the left side of town. “Up there, there’s a lone house with a broken mailbox sitting at the front. That right there is where the Li-Mei residence is located.”

He suddenly leaned down to your height and scowled. “You better not be a fake. We oughta leave that house to rest if you are.”

“I promise I am not,” you swore, shifting your bag onto one shoulder and making your way towards the hill. “By the time I’m done here, that spirit will be gone.”

Waving dismissively to the townspeople behind you, you began your ascension to the tall hill in front of you. The climb proving to be quite a difficult one, as the path to the top was worn down by overgrown roots and fallen rock. How the woman in her forties managed to go up and down these all the time, you had no idea. 

‘I’d hate to come home from work every night only to walk up these,’ you grimaced, your foot nearly sliding off a piece of unstable rock and threatening you to fall back down where you came from. ‘That woman must be a mountain goat or something! Great gods…’

Finally reaching the top, you propped your arm against the broken mailbox for support and caught your breath for a second before looking at the house. It was a run down, barely functioning two story house, and if the news article hadn’t proclaimed that the owner had been killed, you would’ve assumed it was abandoned. 

At the front of the house was a porch holding up the front door. Completely bombarded in yellow police tape and boarded up with planks in order to keep intruders like teens out. Other than that, the front of the house was remarkably empty other than an old, rusted rocking chair pushed to the far corner of the porch. 

“Eerie…” you muttered to yourself, walking closer to the house itself and failing to notice a set of eyes watching you from the attic window. 

Stepping up to the old, paint-peeling steps of the front entrance to the door, you ducked under the low-swinging webs of police tape and tested the door knob out for yourself. Chewing your lip in displeasure as the knob wouldn’t turn at all. ‘Locked.’ came your thoughts as you reached into your bag for your crowbar. ‘Oh well. Nothing I can’t handle.’

Raising the crowbar at a steady distance, you carefully swung at the doorknob and grinned when the metal smacked against it with a satisfying thwack!

‘Again. At least one more time.’

Raising it again, you swung the crowbar at the knob with enough precision to completely cut it clean from the door, a hole left in its wake as you peered in through it out of curiosity.

‘Hah! That was easy,’ you let your eyes wander through the hole of what used to be the doorknob. ‘Now…where is it…?’ 

From what you could see from your position, the house inside was dark and barely illuminated. Antique furniture filling up what seemed to be the living room, and the faint splatter of blood at the bottom of the stairs from what seemed to be left from the body. 

‘Seems like they left in a rush,’ you noted, before kicking down the door and entering swiftly. ‘Pity. They couldn’t even bother to clean up the blood for me.’

You clicked your flashlight on and shined the white orb around the darkly shadows of the haunted home. Half expecting a toaster to just lunge at your head, as you had just so abruptly broken into the home of the poltergeist. “Huh. Usually at this time I’d be dodging a picture frame by now,” you awkwardly wandered around the first floor of the house and explored the various rooms to get a feel for what you were dealing with. “Hm. The house is big, but not as big as a manor,” you let your light drift across old picture frames left behind from the owner of the house. ‘Looks like she didn’t have much family.’

Suddenly you heard a loud noise coming from upstairs. Your eyes darting to the top of the stairs located near the living room, and shining your light up as far as it could go. 

“…I guess it’s up there.”

You shrugged and decided that it was about time to head up. After all, it seemed that the poltergeist liked to thrive up there as you had yet to encounter it throughout your exploration of the first floor. Which meant that up was the only other way to go. 

Oh, but that meant you had to–

You grimaced as you let your light fall to the ground, illuminating the dried up blood sitting at the foot of the stairs. Why couldn’t they at least mop it down?

Blowing out a breath of air, you swallowed up any feelings you had and quickly stepped over the splatter patch of gore, making a mental note to yourself to clean your boots thoroughly once you got home. “Hah…it gets colder as you go up,” you spoke to yourself, shivering as you tried to ground yourself by talking to the silence. 

“How creepy.”

But you were used to it. All spiritual monsters held some sort of cold chill the closer you got to them, and this one was no different. However, you couldn’t help but feel as if your chest was being knotted into thin layers of unquestionable anxiety, the lingering thought of this strangely murderous poltergeist sitting not too hidden beneath your mind. 

‘A poltergeist who murders,’ you reached the top step of the second floor and took note of the now chilly temperatures, ‘I should be ready.’

Reassuring yourself by touching the sage pouch fastened to your waist, you took out your specially crafted book for exorcizing vengeful spirits. Something you borrowed from the library of MUSE as you would need something a lot more powerful than sage to deal with a 6/10 poltergeist. 

‘Okay…’ you took a deep breath and held the book tightly in your arms. ‘I’m ready.’

Slipping on the professional hunter facade, you wandered about the second floor of the house to feel any ghostly chill or sign that the spirit was here. Clutching the book tightly in your grasp, and taking note of how some areas of the floor felt distinctly colder than others. 

All the areas in question being the rooms closest to the attic stairs. 

“The attic,” you murmured to yourself, gazing at the closed hatch above you. “One of the favorite places for a spirit to lurk around in.” 

You felt a small twinge of anxiety stun the core of your stomach, but you forced it to go unnoticed as you needed your mental state as clear as day. You couldn’t let your fears overtake you so soon, so you forced your body to abide with your mind, and discard any and all nerves you felt at this very moment. 

‘Just any other job.’ You thought to yourself, boldly going up the steps and pulling the hatch down before you could think otherwise. ‘Any other job, with any other monster.’

Nerves rattling inside your body, your fight or flight response was on the verge of kicking in as you readied yourself to get attacked. Despite being a slight nervous wreck when ascending these very stairs, you were still a trained huntress that could kill anything if you wanted. 

“What an anticlimactic feeling…” you chuckled out breathlessly, surprised when you didn’t find yourself attacked the moment you opened the hatch. “I was expecting a brutal death from you…”

You actually made it inside the attic and shivered when you felt the freezing chill of a spirit within the room. A smirk playing on your lips as you had found your target. “Hah, hiding won’t do you justice. Any rookie hunter could sense the chill of a ghost no matter how faint.”

Your nerves settled to a sea of calm as you waited for a response from the room. Standing dead center in the middle as you took in your surroundings of the dark and dusty attic. A room not frequently visited by the looks of things, as all the furniture was cracked and old, the floor encased in a fine layer of thick and cakey dust. 

‘Well this room has seen better days–’ your eyes widened as you narrowly dodged an oncoming vase headed for your skull, your instincts saving you yet again. 

“Woah–!”

It shattered into one corner of the room, breaking into millions of tiny pieces and alerting your senses to a higher degree. “Haha! Now I really know you're in here!” instead of being afraid, you laughed nonchalantly and seemed to be enjoying the way you exposed it. The ‘it’ in question seemingly getting more and more angry as the room dropped a few degrees colder. 

A picture frame rattled before being flung off the wall. Flying towards your head, but narrowly missing as your insane reflexes kicked in and dodged it. A chair suddenly slid across the room and towards you at a rapid pace, your legs instinctively moving out of the way, and even twirling as you seemed to be having fun with this. 

“Ah! You’re really good at this,” you chuckled, ducking under a flying alarm clock and watching as the room suddenly started getting louder and louder the more these objects came to life. “Hey–! There’s a toaster!”

You could just feel the atmosphere getting heavier with anger as the spirit in the room seemed livid with how you were dodging its attacks with ease. All at once, as if movement didn’t exist, the objects in the room stopped their movements and a mirror was pulled out from underneath a white cloth. Skittering to a stop right in front of you as the ghost started scratching out some letters in jagged, ear-piercing lines. 

“GET OWT!!!” read the thin scratches as silence filled the once loud and chaotic attic. All the objects falling to the ground at once whilst you read the words and contemplated on what to say. 

“...Hmm,” you tilted your head at the words before a smile overtook your features, “Hehe, you spelled out wrong. It has a U.”

…Silence.

Pure silence. 

And then another scratch started forming under the word OWT. Smaller, more quieter scratches soon following after and forming the word “UWT?” Question mark and all. 

“Pfft. No no no,” you giggled and breathed out a hot breath of air against the mirror. Your breath steaming up the glass, while you used your pointer finger to write out the correct spelling of ‘out.’

“See? The U is where the W is. There’s no W in out.”

You felt a cold chill right next to you, and assumed the spirit had taken a presence beside you. 

“OUT.” the ghost wrote underneath the UWT. Impressing you with how calm it was being, despite trying to kill you moments prior. Could the aggressive poltergeist you were after be a child?

“Great job!” you exclaimed joyously, breathing steam against the mirror again and writing “GET OUT” in proper spelling to show the spirit how it looked like in proper English. “Try writing it like this.”

“GET OUT.” The words perfectly mimicked yours –although a bit more sloppy– and you’ve never felt prouder. 

“Ah, you did it!” you cheered, “You’re amazing!”

Your eyes widened when you caught glimpse of a young woman in the reflection of the mirror. Her face seemingly surprised before disappearing in an instant once you noticed her. 

Okay…so your target was definitely not a child…

“You’re a woman?!” you exclaimed rather loudly, the cold spot beside you suddenly getting warmer. 

“...Yes.” was the ghost’s answer as it scratched the word rather sloppily. 

“Oh, I see…” you stared at the cracked mirror in wonder and amusement. “I didn’t expect a ghost as old as you to be so bad at writing.”

You ducked as a teacup lunged at the back of your skull. Shattering against the cracked mirror and falling into pieces at your feet. Uh oh, it seems as if you pissed her off. 

“Wah! I didn’t mean it as an insult!” you waved your hands shakily and turned to face the emptiness beside you. Despite not seeing anything at all, you could still feel the animosity right beside you and stared as if you were making dead eye contact. “I mean…I just found it, y’know. Kinda cute.” The cold chill in the air grew warmer. “Such a vengeful spirit like yourself calming down like this. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The lonely attic sat idly for a while. Your words lingering like a wisp of smoke as there was no response from the vengeful spirit. 

“If you want…” you began, eyes trailing over to the cracked mirror in front of you, “I could teach you how to write proper English.”

More silence followed. Though you could sense a tinge of uneasiness in the air as the entity beside you grew faint, almost invisible as you could barely detect her at all. “Miss?” you whispered out quietly, eyes widening when you felt something cold wrap around your hand and pull your body like an invisible string, dragging your hand over to where the ghost was writing, and splaying your fingers over a word.

“Yes.” You whispered, a shiver running down your spine as you realized that the ghost woman was touching you. Holding your hand with hers, and helping guide your body to the response she wanted to tell you. 

“Alright then,” you gasped with a baited breath, fingers twitching under the frosty feeling,  “I’ll teach you.”

To say your intentions were pure was a lie. I mean, it wasn’t a complete lie, you did want to help her study, but you weren’t exactly a good person to her to begin with. The whole spiel of wanting to help her improve was all a ploy to get her to be compliant. A peaceful and willing ghost was always an easier ghost to exorcize, and what better way than to make this spirit compilable than to befriend her through lessons? Admittedly, this was deception at its finest. But it’s not like you haven’t done this before! You were a monster hunter, and this was your job.

You held your breath as you gazed up at the Li-Mei residence above you. This time with a children’s alphabet book under your arm, and a few school supplies to match on your belt. You looked more like a school teacher than a monster hunter if anything, but you swallowed up any leftover pride you had and made your way up to the front porch. From your peripheral vision, you caught the curtains of the attic window shift, and looked up to see a young woman dart away as quickly as you looked. A small smile stretching over your face, as you contemplated on whether or not to wave. 

‘Makes me wonder if she watched me walk in from the very first day.’

Your hand went to reach for the doorknob only to remember that you had broken it beforehand. “Oh, ha! Silly me,” you grinned and simply kicked the door open with your boot, shining your flashlight in through the dark and musty house, as you had half expected for the spirit to be waiting for you. “I hope she didn’t mind me breaking down her door…”

Not like she’d even need to use the door… 

“Yoohoo! Madam Ghost!” You cheered through the hollow walls, “I’ve come to help you study!”

Silence.

“…You can’t hide from this, I’ve already purchased this Sesame Street book from the shop and there’s no going back.” Realizing that the ghost must be hiding upstairs, you let out a pathetic groan and quickly made your way up in order to confront her. “Madam Ghost!” 

You grabbed the cord to the attic and yanked it open only to scream when a dinner plate hurled at your face. “Son of a—!” luckily your reflexes saved you as you ducked just in time to avoid the porcelain piece shattering in your eye. “Miss Ghost!”

Annoyed with this sudden attitude, you gripped your exorcist book hidden just beneath your alphabet one and prepared yourself to deal with a violent spirit. “What was that for?!” You felt the hairs of your neck stand on end as a ghostly shiver passed from just behind you. The dusty layering on the floor shaking as jagged letters formed words from the poltergeist’s invisible touch.

“Sory.” Read the ghost’s wobbly handwriting. “It was just a pranc.”

“It’s not a very funny one,” you scoffed, sitting down right in front of the handwriting and fixing her spelling. “I could’ve lost an eye.”

The ghost’s chilling prescience lingered closer to your warm, living body. Practically standing over you as you could feel the cold breath of death brushing over your forehead. “This is how you properly spell it,” you spoke calmly, despite your flight or fight response kicking in. “Sorry. It was just a prank.” 

You felt the cold prescience draw closer and had assumed that the ghost was now sitting right in front of you, writing a sloppy trail of letters that loosely resembled yours, and even trying to write it small just like you. 

“Hm. Not bad,” you noted, plopping the Sesame Street book down and gesturing to a dusty patch on the ground. “Can you write your name? I’d like to put a name to my student please.”

Wow, you really did feel like a school teacher.

Some silence followed after your request, and you contemplated on whether or not you should take it back as you were unsure if the ghost was comfortable or not. Before you could open your mouth to say anything however, a sudden shift in the dust caused your eyes to settle. 

“Ah! Hu…Tao.” You read aloud at the sloppy array of words. “Hu Tao. Your name is Hu Tao?”

A quick scribble of “yes” was written right beside it.

“Hu Tao! Ah, what a pretty name,” you complimented, the room growing warmer for a brief second before resuming its chilly state. “That’s of Chinese origin, yes?” 

Your hand was pulled along by that same ghostly string and sprawled against the previous “yes.” So cute! The ghost was holding your hand! 

“Ah…” your eyes trailed over to where the ghost held you and noted the buzzing chill in your nerves at the sensation. It was cold, unfamiliar, and far from comfortable, but you endured it because you thought the action itself was cute for such a violent entity. “I see you like holding my hand.” You chuckled, smiling even more when your hand regained its warmth, indicating that Hu Tao had let go. 

“Aww, so soon?” You giggled playfully and opened one of your alphabet books. “Well that’s okay, we’re going to be studying now anyways.” 

You pointed to a pencil and flipped to the very first page of the book, starting with the letter A and its lowercase counterpart to make things easy. “Miss…Hu Tao. Can you move that pencil and follow the dotted lines here? We’re going to be working on your handwriting because uh…well,” you shifted your eyes over to the wobbly letters of English that could barely be comprehended as English. “It’s not the best.”

A rush of cold air blew towards the back of your neck and you only shivered in response. Picking up the pencil with your hand and extending it out towards the air beside you. 

“Here. Try writing with this.”

You didn’t really expect anything to happen but lo and behold, the spirit grabbed the utensil from your hand. ‘So gentle…’ you remarked, watching as the pencil shakily lifted itself from your fingers and pointed downwards towards the book. “Yeah, you got it,” you mimicked the pen with your finger and traced a slanted line upwards to start writing an uppercase A. “A small line going up, and then a similar one going down.”

You dragged your finger downwards, and if Hu Tao was visible right now, you’d see just how hard she was concentrating just for you. The pencil in her grip shaking as she formed a trembling line from start to finish, all the while glancing at you every so often. 

“Pretty good for your first try,” you hummed, now taking your finger and dragging a middle line to connect the two slants. “Now draw a smaller line connecting these two, to form an uppercase A.”

Hu Tao did so. Yet she did so all too sloppily as she wasn’t looking at the paper, but rather at you. You couldn’t see it, obviously; but Hu Tao was indeed looking at you. The glare of violence and brutality no longer present, as it was only replaced with wonder and curiosity. 

You were cloaked in leather, yes; and despite not knowing much English, Hu Tao was smart enough to realize that you were a monster hunter. Probably paid to come here and exorcize her is what she assumed, yet despite trying to drive you out and even kill you multiple times, you retained that same innocent smile and laugh. It was unnerving, which is ironic for a spirit of her level, but Hu Tao couldn’t help but feel relieved that you were so nice to her. Even if it were a trick, some foul play to kill her in the end, Hu Tao couldn’t help but feel as if she had finally met someone she could potentially talk to in all her years of isolation. 

“Miss Hu Tao?” your brow crinkled as the pencil was now dragging lazily off the dotted line, off the paper, and scratching onto the hardwood floor. “Miss Hu Tao?!”

You watched as the pencil jerked and caused the streak of lead to make an ugly turn upwards. “Oh, sorry…” you sucked air through your teeth at the ruined uppercase A before smiling. “Well, that’s why erasers exist, right? To fix all our unwanted mistakes.”

Hu Tao couldn’t agree more and eagerly flipped the pencil over to erase the embarrassingly long streak from when she zoned out. 

“And that’s how you write a lowercase Q…”

Your voice barely above a whisper, your eyes narrowed in on the near perfect lowercase Q that Hu Tao had drawn after hours of practice with the letters before. You had to admit, for a ghost with horrible motor skills, Hu Tao was a very fast learner. So much so that you basically speed ran the alphabet and managed to get to the letter Q by late in the evening. 

“Wow…that’s near perfect…” you yawned, Hu Tao practically buzzing with excitement at your praise and resisting the urge to hug you right then and there. 

‘Near perfect! She’s so impressed! I impressed her!’

Nearly about to do cartwheels on the attic floor, Hu Tao glanced at your face to see whether you were smiling, and paused when she saw your eyes fluttering closed like a butterfly’s wings resting in the wind. ‘Sleepy?’ Hu Tao questioned, watching as you struggled to stay awake due to your instinct as a hunter. You were used to staying up on restless nights due to your job mostly taking place at night, yet for some reason you were extra sleepy today as you let your body relax around Hu Tao for the majority of the mission. ‘Ah. I forgot. Living humans need to sleep often to stay healthy.’

Hu Tao watched with curiosity as you consciously tried to fight the sleepiness in order to continue teaching her. Yet the coldness of the attic just felt so…alluring. And all the dust scattered around you two did not aid much in helping you stay awake. 

“Next…page…” you sighed, losing the battle to sleep as the weak human inside the hunter submitted to the depths of slumber. “Going onto R…”

Hu Tao panicked as you began to slump over and rushed around the attic to find something soft for you to fall in. Finding a dusty throw pillow and shaking all the dust off before sliding it between your soft head and hardwood floor. 

Plop. Went your head as sleep deprivation had taken over and made you fall deep asleep despite the dangerous circumstance. It was so unlike you to be this sleepy while on the job, but since you were so relaxed around Hu Tao your body couldn’t help itself. 

‘That was close…!’ Hu Tao remarked as she watched your unconscious body rise and fall with every passing breath. ‘Almost smashed her skull in…’

Hu Tao passed over to your sleeping body as quietly as she could. Watching as you dozed off soundly and almost unprofessionally as well, a hunter sleeping on the job was nothing to be proud of. And quite frankly, Hu Tao was sure you’d get fired if your higher ups ever caught wind of this. 

Yet the spirit couldn’t help but find your sleeping figure cute. And stupid. But mostly cute as you were cozy enough to slumber in the presence of a vengeful spirit. A vengeful spirit that just so happened to be her, and a vengeful spirit that just so happened to find you endearing. 

‘The living are way too trusting,’ Hu Tao thought, leaning over to where you were sleeping and watching as your lips parted slightly to exhale every time your chest fell. ‘Especially this one.’

Shifting to lie on her stomach, Hu Tao propped her head up on her hands and watched as your hair cascaded over your face like a curtain. Blocking your simple beauty from her sight, and causing her to shift in frustration as she wanted to stare at you more. 

…Was that creepy? Well, for a ghost’s standards, maybe not…

Hu Tao couldn’t help herself as she shifted her ghostly body to brush the stray locks away. Your brows scrunching up in your sleep as her cold presence made you shiver. ‘Cold…’ Hu Tao noted, turning her hand to look at it with crestfallen eyes. ‘I’m cold…’

Was it selfish of her to want to keep touching you? Hu Tao let her frosty fingers trail over your leather-covered arm, watching as your body trembled under her touch. Cold. She was cold to you. But your body was just so warm. So warm and full of life, pumped with a body full of warm blood and flesh. How Hu Tao missed the feeling so…

‘This one is so naive…’ Hu Tao gazed up at your heavy eyelids and ended up lying right beside you. Gazing adoringly at you as if you two were lovers in a painting. ‘And yet so beautiful she is…’

If there was anything that Hu Tao learned in her years of purgatory isolation, it was that eternal loneliness was a punishment worse than death. And to have such a friendly soul come wandering up just to see her…she swears she’s never felt more alive. 

It was almost like you were an angel sent down to save her.

“Y…/N…” Hu Tao spoke gently, her first words uttered since meeting you. “Y…/N.”

You had told her your name a few alphabet lessons beforehand, and told her that if she managed to write your name neatly, you’d give her a wish. Hu Tao had never been so determined before to earn said desired wish. “Y…/N!” She sounded out in her own whispery voice, pulling the alphabet book from beside you and deciding to study on her own. 

She was determined to get that wish. 

She knew what she wanted from you.

Days had blended into weeks and before you knew it, you were coming to visit Hu Tao on a daily basis. What started as simple English lessons to ease her spirit had slowly turned into something more, and while you didn’t want to admit it, you were slowly growing attached. 

Taboo. Growing attached to a monster while being a monster hunter was taboo. Your job was to kill her, not befriend her. But it seemed like your body was betraying your morals as you couldn’t help but find the invisible spirit endearing. Was it possible to love something you couldn’t see? You hoped it wasn’t the case, as you found the company of the invisible girl comforting. 

Hey, you had gotten better at scaling the hill! You watched as you set your foot on the last step without having to wheeze like you were an old lawn mower. Finding comfort in the way your boots sank into the gravel, as before they were only a hindrance to your hike uphill. “Hu Tao, I'm here!” you called up at the broken attic window, waiting for the curtains to shift to indicate her presence. “Hu Tao!”

Odd. Usually she’d be waiting by the window for you. 

“...Hm.” You made your way comfortably up the front steps and traversed through the house with ease. No longer feeling any anxiety or panic as you had done this routinely multiple times. “Maybe she’s just busy with her homework…”

Shrugging it off as something of no concern, you grabbed the cord to the attic door and yanked it down, ready to step into an empty attic room like you always did. Instead however, you walked in on something –or rather, someone– you did not expect to see. 

A young woman was sitting on the floor of the dusty attic, scribbling with a pencil you left her and surrounded by several sheets of notebook paper torn from the journal you bought. She didn’t seem to notice you at all, all too absorbed in her kid-like scribbling and it’s there that you realize the whole attic is covered in papers! Circling the woman like some sort of beginner’s ritual as the papers were scattered on the walls, furniture, even ceiling!

“...Hu Tao?!” your eyes widened when you felt a ghostly presence coming from the woman. ‘Wait. That’s Hu Tao?!’

You watched as the woman before you stopped scribbling and turned to see who was calling her name. Eyes lighting up once she saw you and eagerly standing up to greet you. “Y/N!” she cheered, your brain doing a double take as this was also your first time hearing Hu Tao’s voice. 

“Ah, so it is you,” you chuckled, still in shock from seeing Hu Tao’s physical form and hearing her voice. “This is…the first time I’ve actually seen you,” you muttered, noting how livly her eyes looked despite being long deceased. “You look cute.”

She perked up at your compliment before laughing to herself and nodding. “Hah! Yeah, I’ve been told that a couple times back when I was alive.” She seemed to emit a feeling of bashfulness from the way she was speaking. Who knew a dead person could have so much personality? “I haven’t been able to show myself in a while because I never really felt the need to. It takes up quite a bit of my energy however, so I’d need to use it wisely.”

“That’s…interesting,” you clicked your tongue at this reveal and tilted your head in confusion. “But why show yourself now?”

“Oh! Well, you see…” Hu Tao picked up one of the scattered papers on the ground and handed it to you, your hands reaching over to brush against the floating object and turning it over to see your name. 

‘Y/N.’

Your name written all over the sheet. Scattered as loosely as the papers around you as each individual letter grew more and more neater with each passing stroke. Y/N. Y/N. Y/N. All rambunctiously ordered in a swerving line that tried its best to straighten itself the further it drew on.

Y/N. Y/N. Y/N.

When you looked down at the papers at your feet, it was there that you noticed that all the papers around the attic had your name written on it. Your name only in a sea of scribbles and ink as somewhere along the way, Hu Tao must’ve broken a pencil or two. “Hu Tao…?” you seemed incredibly confused (and rightfully so) as your eyes slowly started to dart over to the ceiling. “What is this?”

Should you be creeped out? Your gut is yelling “YES?!” but your brain is going “I’m curious though, let’s wait.” And so, you listened to your brain because let’s be honest, even I’m curious too. 

“Remember when you told me that if I had perfected writing your name, you’d grant me a wish?” Hu Tao spoke with a giggle. 

Oh.

So this is what this is about. 

“Ah, yes but–” Hu Tao rushed off before you could say anything more. 

“I’ve perfected it! I can write your name Y/N!”

Never in your life had you seen a ghost so excited before. Zooming around with giddy as if she were told that she had just won the lottery. 

“You’ve really been practicing all this time?” you murmured in awe, watching as one by one, the papers sticking to the ceiling fell like a paper shower. 

“Yep! Ever since I could write the alphabet, I was dead set on learning your name!” she floated around the attic with the grace of a dragonfly. Zipping and zooming through the air in a way that made you think she was actually a fae. “Found one!”

You looked up and nearly choked on air as Hu Tao floated down to stand right in front of you. Her locks of brown hair floating idly like gravity never existed, all the while her eyes seemed to glow with a strange jack-o-lantern-like light that made you feel warm rather than creeped out. 

“Watch this!” came her haunting voice as she scribbled some letters onto the paper she picked out and showed it to you with the enthusiasm of a child. “Look! Look! It’s your name! I wrote your name!”

And she did. Your pupils widening at the sight as Hu Tao had successfully written your name in correct spelling, perfect size, and perfect calligraphy. A feat to most certainly be proud of as you had only begun teaching Hu Tao proper English for about two weeks. 

“It’s beautiful…” you muttered, tracing the straight lines with your finger and watching as Hu Tao lit up at your praise. “And you practiced writing on all of these papers?” You lifted your foot which now had a Y/N paper sticking underneath it. 

“Yep! That’s what I did last night since you left,” Hu Tao hummed. “Now can I have my wish?”

“Hm, you are quite demanding. Though that’s not surprising considering how your first words to me were ‘Get out.’” She pouted at your words. “Butttt, you did write fifty something pages of my name for practice. And you did get it perfectly written.”

“Actually I wrote seventy two pages of your name.” Hu Tao clarified. 

“Hm, yes, your practice definitely paid off too,” you chuckled. “What would you like to wish for?”

Hu Tao was hesitant in saying what she wanted before reaching her ghostly pale arms out and enveloping your hands with her own. That frosty feeling you’ve grown to love slowly numbing your senses and causing your skin to prickle with goosebumps as she raised your hands to her face. 

“Y/N. I want to be with you.”

Your mind had short-circuited. Did you hear her correctly?

“...I want you to take me away from here.”

Her eyes looked so sad and sombered. Mellow with a dread of loneliness you’ve never seen on a person until now. “I want you to help me leave this place. I want to be with you and live with you forever…please.” 

She looked so serious. Desperate even as she pleaded for you with her cold, dead eyes to help her be free of this eternal purgatory. ‘I want to be with you.’ Her words echoed, and you felt the one emotion you’ve forced to disappear now re-emerge at the simple begging of a trapped ghost. An emotion that all monster hunters must hide for fear of the guilt that comes after finishing off a job.

Empathy. 

“...Okay.” Your voice sounded hoarse, defeated by the choice you had made up in your mind. “Really?!” Hu Tao blinked in surprise. “Yeah.” You mumbled, trying to smile like your life depended on it. “There’s a ritual I can do to relocate spirits if they’re forever trapped in one place. I could transfer you to my house and you can live there with me from now on.”

If you thought Hu Tao was happy then, oh boy, she was ecstatic now. 

“Living with you…in your house…” Hu Tao muttered to herself, the room growing warmer as the papers around you started floating due to her excitement. “I’d love that more than anything else! Really I would!”

And then she threw her arms around you. Embracing you in a cold hug and yet she still felt more alive than anything you’ve ever felt before. The scattered papers with your name on them flying around like a whirlwind as Hu Tao was simply too excited not to show it. “Thank you thank you thank you thank you Y/N!” she laughed, a noise akin to a windchime since it was the prettiest thing you’ve heard in a while. 

“...No, thank you.” You murmured quietly, hesitantly embracing the trapped geist as you wondered if you’d soon regret your decision. 

You really hoped you wouldn’t.

When you walked up the broken steps leading up to Hu Tao’s house, you felt your mood dampen despite the sunny skies hanging up above. How mocking. The sun just loved to tease you when you were at your lowest point. ‘Please let this go smoothly…’ you told yourself as you looked up at the familiar broken mailbox and police tape-covered porch you’ve come to grow used to. ‘Please don’t let anything go South…’

The walk up the porch steps felt like entering hell. The walk from the first floor to the second felt like walking through flames. The walk from the second floor to the hatch of the attic felt like you were about to greet Satan. A churning feeling in your stomach replacing the once comfortable feeling you’ve felt from all your times visiting Hu Tao. No longer did you feel the same. You knew what you had to do at this moment, and you hoped everything would go to plan. 

Reaching up to grab at the cord of the hatch, you gasped when it suddenly flung open and almost lost your balance. However, something cold and comforting caught you before you could fall, and hoisted you up the steps before closing the hatch on your way in. 

“WAH–!”

“Y/N!” came Hu Tao’s excited voice, “Almost had a nasty fall there. Wouldn’t want anything happening to my favorite flesh person!”

She set you down with the grace of a gentle wind and moved to be in your line of sight. Wow. Did she get prettier or is the lighting from the sun making her glow?

“Hu Tao…” you smiled at her giddiness and dropped your satchel to the ground. “Thanks for catching me. I probably would’ve fallen on my ass if you hadn’t.”

“No problem! After all, how could my favorite flesh person do the ritual correctly if her buns are bruised!”

Ah. Right. The ritual.

“So that’s what’s got you so excited.” You chuckled. “I thought you’d be happier to see me.”

“I am happy to see you! I’m just even happier because I get to be with you now!”

Oh. That plucked a heart string.

“Hah, understandable…” you avoided her gaze and picked up the satchel you dropped to go to the middle. “I brought all the things needed for the ritual. All you have to do is stand here in the middle and relax.” 

“Aye aye captain!” Hu Tao saluted as she hovered over to stand where you set your foot. “I can’t wait to be free with you…” 

“Me too.”

Taking out a huge canister of salt, you started pouring it into a large circle surrounding Hu Tao whilst she whistled nonchalantly. Eagerly waiting for you to finish the ritual so she could be free from this wretched attic once more. “Is your attic clean, Y/N?”

“Not really, but you won’t be staying there at all. I can’t imagine moving into another attic after spending your whole life here.” You completed the circle and tossed the canister away behind you, dusting off the excess particles stuck to your skin so your hands wouldn’t feel grainy. 

“You mean I get to roam around in your house?!“ Hu Tao exclaimed excitedly.

“Mhm!” You smiled and started pulling out a few candles you bought from the town store and setting them around within an even distance around Hu Tao. “My house will be your house.” 

Hu Tao’s cheeks glowed at those words as she watched you light each and every candle with a matchstick pulled from the hole of your sleeve. With each candle ignited, Hu Tao felt as if her own soul was being cast aflame due to her overbearing adoration to be with you. Her savior. Her angel.

She wanted to be with you forever.

“Just try to relax and stay calm,” you voiced as you took your spot at the front of the circle. 

“I promise this won’t hurt. That is the last thing I want.”

“You could never hurt me, Y/N.” Hu Tao assured. 

But you just might.

“Whatever happens, Hu Tao,” you spoke as you flipped through the pages of your ritual book, “Promise me you won’t be scared?”

“I promise.”

You smiled somberly at her words before looking up to stare at her eyes one more time. Trailing over the flower-like pupils you had grown to adore and forever sinking them into your memory. “Your eyes are beautiful, by the way,” you whispered. “I hope they haunt my dreams every time I sleep…”

Turning to the tattered pages of your book, you lifted it up to read and began chanting in old latin. A small wind picking up in the otherwise silent attic and blowing at the candles surrounding Hu Tao. 

‘Just relax…’ you told Hu Tao, but it was mostly towards yourself. ‘Please relax…’

From the corner of your eye you caught Hu Tao smiling. The wind picking up more violently as she stared at you in astonishment. “It’s working!” Hu Tao squealed, lifting her arms up as if she were a kite about to be carried away. “It’s working, it's working!” You felt your body tremble as you kept chanting the words. “I feel so light…”

You smiled sadly at her joy, tears pricking at the corners of your eyes when she laughed. ‘I’m glad…’

“Thank you Y/N! Thank you, thank you, thank you!” you watched as Hu Tao’s ghostly figure started tearing up out of happiness, her body fading away into particles that mimicked lightning bugs flying into the night sky. “I love you so much.”

And as quick as she came into your life, she was gone. 

The wind had stopped blowing, the candles had all melted, and you were left alone in a cold and dusty attic, quivering with the book in your hand as you stared at the now empty circle right in front of you. “...Rest in peace, Hu Tao.” You whispered, clasping your hands together in prayer before bowing. “I loved being with you too…”

Kneeling down to reach into your satchel once more, you took out a small pot and filled it to the brim with salt. Placing three incense sticks into it and lighting them all up with a match. As smoke filled the now lifeless attic room, you prayed one more time before biting your lip in order to stop yourself from crying. 

“I’m sorry I lied to you.”

Standing up and wiping your watery eyes away, you quickly put on your hunter facade again and left the dusty attic. The sunlight finally breaching in through the window and giving warmth to the room after so many years.

You hated the warmth.

Peridot Ghosts: What kind of things get them frazzled or anxious? Do they tend to handle them well or get swept up in the moment?

Stonework Headcanons (@astrclvoyages thank you!)

Having to stay still for long periods of time tends to make Hu Tao feel anxious. It's why she is always finding excuses to get out. Whether it is to promote the Wangsheng Funeral business or to go out at night to get inspiration for her poetry. Those are just a couple of examples.

Stagnation is something she doesn't handle all too well. To her that means there is the possibility of just sitting and listening to your own thoughts. And you can imagine with being a funeral director not every single passing one is going to be completely positive. Hu Tao doesn't like to dwell on negative ones. So she keeps herself busy.
