Meet Philiana, Daughter of Emperor Belos and Princess of the Boiling Isles.

She's a human child, washed up on the Boiling Isles as a newborn. By some series of events, a young 6 year old Hunter found her, and took her back to Belos. The Emperor took her in as his own daughter, hiding her away from most eyes like his own little piece of treasure from the human world. He named her Philiana.

Hunter is assigned to protect her, Belos making him promise to "protect her with his life" should the need arise. They grow close, and she sees him as her older brother, though he insists that he's just her guard, or cousin at most.

Philiana was sheltered even from most residents of the castle. Belos preferred that she had as little interaction with witchkind as possible. She is seen as quiet, timid, and behaved. With soft golden hair, and gentle blue eyes, Philiana has a neverending pure and innocent aura. Always an understanding little girl whose sweet, gentle words and bright eyes could reach any heart even within the cold palace walls. At her young age, she truly is the Empire's hidden treasure....or at least, she appeared to be.

But what if "innocent princess" isn't all there is to her?

Seeing the esteemed Duke of Meropide eyes a pair of decorations curiously is an amusing experience, turns out. Even when your relationship with him is pretty much an unsaid ‘almost lover’ situation.

“So,” leaning against his working desk, you try not to smile too wide, “do you like them?”

Wriothesley continues to stare and blink at the black and white dog miniatures—intended to be placed on flat surfaces, however, your creativity is your limit, or so the craftsmen of Liyue said. Straightening his sitting posture, he then leans towards the objects that sit on his desk. “…this feels like a series,” he finally says after a long while, taking one of the two dogs. He once again takes in the merry dog figurine in his hand. Slightly bigger than his thumb, carrying a ball with a tail that is depicted to be in the middle of a swishing motion.

“It is. There are actually another eight dogs,” and also another twenty cats that are a story or, perhaps, a gift for another time, “but I don’t know if you will like it… or do you even have the space to keep all ten, so I just buy you two this time.”

“Hey, hey, since when do I seem like the sort of person who is unappreciative of something people give me?” Wriothesley put down the dog, only to take another one up. In between that, a smile and a glance are addressed to you humorously, yet as softly as always. “And also…”

You realize he purposefully trails off. “And also?”

With how entertained he is at the handcrafted woods, you think he will praise the craftsmanship. Or perhaps, it is time to recall that musing of his about wanting to keep a pet and how these two will be a perfect replacement. Or maybe, he will make another unpredictable joke one would never thought would come out from his mouth.

Yet, instead of all of that, Wriothesley merely reaches out a hand to take yours while his other hand and focus remain on your present. His tone is far from anything—as if he is simply stating a fact. Despite all that, the squeeze he gives as he intertwines his fingers with yours says enough.

“This is from you,” he states, finally shifting his attention to fully land on you. “There is no way I would dislike it.”

#genshin scenarios #genshin #genshin impact #genshin x reader #genshin imagines #genshin fluff #wriothesley x reader #wriothesley #wriothesley fluff #drabbles #i finally write something for you your highness!!!! tho it's short #i hope i can write a proper fic soon but drabbles are fun in their own way haha #that idle of him wanting pet...i really want to give him a selee for company at least...

The Quinton Reviews video was actually the first time I ever heard of The Beverly Hillbillies, but Quinton's dad talks about it as if everyone should know it, like the Simpsons. My theory is that maybe it is because I didn't grow up in an english-speaking country, and I'm curious!

If you have no idea what youtube video I am talking about, I would still appreciate your vote! Just vote whether or not you are aware of the sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies"

#the beverly hillbillies #beverly hillbillies #quinton reviews #polls #myposts #if you are also interested in the answer reblogs of the poll are appreciated #dont feel obligated though this is just idle curiosity #I dont think this show was dubbed to other languages the way modern american sitcoms are #but im not sure #So im curious about the results!#i am also interested to know how well-known it is in english-speaking countries #i mean it's really old right?#do people really still know of it?

The funny thing is, I think the Kobayashi Maru is a very odd test, psychologically, depending on what it’s actually trying to determine. It changes over time.

Particularly after it’s been around for a while, you know it’s unwinnable going into it. Not only does that promote a sense of fatalism, but it paradoxically absolves the participant of any responsibility. If you can’t win, then you can rest secure that it wasn’t your fault, your choices didn’t matter, and the system was rigged against you. It’s not an especially good lesson to teach, though I suppose it does get you ready for evil Starfleet admirals and bureaucracy.

In a way, what Kirk did was more than change the conditions of the test for himself; by opening up the possibility of winning, he changed the psychological value of the test for everyone who came after him.

This raises the question: what is the Kobayashi Maru test really trying to measure, and what kind of captain is Starfleet really looking for? Someone who will accept an unwinnable situation with grace, or someone who knows the situation can’t be won, but fights anyway?

…or, possibly, someone who can change the parameters of a situation before it even happens?

#star trek #star trek tos #jim kirk #star trek aos #kobayashi maru #Kobayashi Maru test #Starfleet #this is mostly idle speculation #I’ve never really thought the test was a great measure of anything specific #but I’m not a psychologist

I rarely speak about work online because I never want to be fired due to social media

However

They are slowly but surely removing my ability to bully customers back and I’m wondering if it’s even worth it anymore

But then I see another barista get overwhelmed and I’m like “yeah this is my purpose” as I go to politely loud-speak at a middle aged doctor who may understand how my nervous system works but doesn’t understand what a latte is after having it explained five times

#caffeine chatter #the day I see particular customers outside of work will be amazing #I don’t want to yell #I just want to know how it feels to be so willfully ignorant to the point of malice #just idle chatter really

When Minkowski hugs Eiffel in Ep31 Sécurité, she just grabs hold of him without making a sound, and the listener only knows about the hug because of the "oof" noise Eiffel makes in reacting to having "the wind knocked straight out of him", and the script directions say that Minkowski has "tears silently streaming down her face", and Eiffel is the one who directly acknowledges the hug verbally ("Don't apologise for hugging"). If all we had was Minkowski's side of the interaction, we probably wouldn't know that they hugged.

When Eiffel hugs Minkowski in Ep54 The Watchtower, he first tells her "C'mere, give us a hug!", and he makes a happy sound of effort as he squeezes her, and Minkowski - under the influence of Pryce's restraining bolt - doesn't seem to have any reaction at all, which Eiffel doesn't appear to notice. Once again, if all we had was Minkowski's side of the interaction, we wouldn't know that they hugged.

The question of 'in what ways is the hug made audible?' feels much more significant in audio than it would in any another medium, and I do think it reflects something about these characters and their willingness to be open with their affection. Minkowski "grabs him and hugs him" hard enough to knock the wind out of him, but she does so silently. In a somewhat similar but also very different moment of reunion, Eiffel "embraces her" and he's not quiet as he does it. There's something about how Communications Officer Eiffel is always the one who verbalises their physical affection, whether or not he's the one who initiated the hug. The closest Minkowski gets to verbally acknowledging a hug is through an apology; Eiffel is the one who makes the hugs real for the listener.

#Wolf 359 #w359 #Doug Eiffel #Renée Minkowski #Renee Minkowski #This links into how Eiffel is in many ways a protagonist built for the audio medium #He reacts to things and he tends to do so loudly #Also when Minkowski tells Eiffel 'shut up. just stop talking' during the Sécurité hug #the script direction for that line is '(tiny)'#and that makes me feel things #She's emotional in a way that makes her voice tiny...#I know I talk about Eiffel & Minkowski hugs in basically every other post #but I'm doing it again #If anyone is following me who doesn't want to hear about Eiffel & Minkowski hugs #then they are probably lost and should look elsewhere #I think it's probably not easy to make a hug obvious in audio drama without it sounding a little awkward #It's not necessarily a very audible interaction #(Which might be why I don't think there's really anything in the audio #to indicate the script direction that Eiffel and Lovelace hug in Ep56 Idle Hands)#The Magnus Archives managed it pretty well with their fabric rustles #but those don't live in my heart like Eiffel's hug noises #the empty man posteth #wolf 359 spoilers #w359 spoilers #Eiffel & Minkowski

I think often about how the sims franchise was concived as a critique of American consumerism and it literally just became. That.

#what is more consumerist than a one thousand dollar game #for dlc that is never really enriching to gameplay #the sims isn’t funny anymore bcs it’s lost all of its self awareness #all of the humor is self referential rather than meta textual #and the game has gone from including the player in on the joke(w the grip reaper scolding the player if the kills all thier sims #and ts2 sims literally looking at the player if idle long enough)#to playing into the escapist narrative completely #in summary the elimination of the comfort need was the beginning of this #someone should write a sub stack article abt this. not me tho
