― YANDERE! GENSHIN ACADEMY AU. pt one | two | three | four | five

⇢ alhaitham, kaveh, tighnari, cyno + ayato, baizhu, mika / gn! reader

introducing! from sumeru hails teyvat's brightest minds, and it's no surprise that many of the academu's smartest are true-blood sumerians. a lesser known fact is that these are less skilled in the workings of the heart, and therefore, a bit more unstable than the average lad.

warning! yandere, obsessive & possessive behavior, unhealthy relationships, master-pet dynamics, mentions of bullying, physical wounds

— STOIC ACADEMIC TYPE. alhaitham | الهيثم

[ “if you’re looking to get my help, i’d rather you just outright say it than dilly-dallying around.” ]

⇢ one of the geniuses in your second year, haitham is a no-nonsense type of guy that has that air of arrogance around him. he’s quite hard to approach, and he doesn’t care to socialize with any of your circles. he has, however, taken a liking to you, and will usually just drag you around whenever he feels like it.

⇢ expect forced study sessions with him in the library. he’s very keen on making sure your grades are in tip-top shape, even though you never asked him for help. it’s obvious that he takes a bit of sadistic pleasure when you ask him for his help. when you ask him on how to solve a problem, he stops whatever he’s reading and scrutinizes you with those stoic eyes, before a small and smug grin forms on his face. sometimes you’re not sure if he truly wants to help you or he just likes to hear you plead and beg.

⇢ kinda likes to see you screw up as well. seeing you excel (because he helped you, after all) is all nice and good, but he likes to see you fumble it every once in a while. sometimes you get a bit arrogant, refusing his help and insisting that you can do it by yourself, only for it to backfire in your face. when you run back to him with your begging and pleading, he puts on a show of being nonchalant about it. didn’t you say you were fine? so why bother him now, and especially in the middle of a good book?

⇢doesn’t hide the fact that he sort of treats you like a pet, with the way he drags you to and fro. his blunt everyday tone makes everyone feel like he’s looking down at them, but even more so with the way he talks to you. stay, he says when you start approaching him. sit, he tells you. whether you follow or not is up to you, and while he does love having an obedient pet, there is some fun to be found in keeping a bratty one.

⇢likes to see you rely on him. is it out of genuine care or because he sees you as a complete fool who can’t do anything on their own, time will tell, but he’s strangely insistent about you depending on him. he doesn’t make it very obvious, especially when he acts like he could give two shits about anything, but when you mention having troubles, he says things like “that is what you’re having trouble with?” without offering his help, you usually start nagging him for the answer.

⇢haitham isn’t one for praise but… he does get a kick off you praising him. not because he’s starved for it (he’s had heaps of that ever since he showed his academic prowess) but because it felt just right. he does help you a lot, doesn’t he? taking the time out of his busy day to help you with whatever silly thing you need. the least you could do is thank him for it.

[ “honestly, you ought to be more grateful with how much i’m always helping you.” ]

– PASSIONATE TYPE. kaveh | کاوه

[ “oh yeah, uh, i guess i did win that! do… do you like it?” ]

⇢ your senior kaveh who’s been all over you ever since your first year. he’s a bit clingy with his touches, holding onto your arm while you walk and greeting you with hugs ever since the two of you got close. whenever the two of you see each other in the hallways, he immediately latches onto you and doesn’t let go. will drag you around while chatting your ear off.

⇢ often starts to show off when you’re around. he tries to be really nonchalant about it too, like casually trying to slip in his accomplishment in the middle of a conversation to make it seem like he’s not trying too hard. when you smile and compliment him, he starts to stutter and blush, losing the cool composure he tried to maintain just moments ago. the others tease him for being a senior who wants to impress his junior and he quickly denies it (“they’re just saying what they want!” he’d huff to you), but you can’t deny the red blush and the pleased smile on his face.

⇢ always trying to help other people out, even if he’s too busy. while he’ll drop everything he’s doing when you ask him a favor, he also doesn’t have the heart to say no to others. some days, he gets a bit disheveled by dismissal after helping out so many people at once. when he starts whining to you and he becomes even clingier, be understanding and let him. he’s had a rough day, after all.

⇢ everyone knows the shenanigans that occur around you in school and kaveh is no exception. so he’s made a bit paranoid every day, wondering when of your crazed suitors will snap and just kidnap you. he could just do it himself and not worry about being separated from you, but he thinks he’s above such things (true, but only without the proper motivation). to compensate for this, he spends every second with you like it’s his last.

⇢ did you just hold his hand?!? that must mean something, right?! he conveniently forgets that you’ve held hands with numerous other people in this academy, but you can’t blame the poor dude, he’s the type to overthink stuff like that. he’s gone over seemingly normal moments between you two countless times in his head, wondering if any of that meant something. at the back of his head, he knows he’s overreacting. but then he remembers when you gave him some papers and your fingers lingered for some seconds then he starts squealing in his pillow, absolutely deluded by his fantasies.

⇢ he’s not the jealous type…! really! he knows how kind and sweet you are. he knows that the praises you have for him are genuine and the way you look at him in admiration is all real. you’re not the type to fake those after all…! even so… even so, you continue to look at others with that same look, and praise them with the same praise. it’s not that they don’t deserve it but… is he not just good enough? to have your praises reserved for only him… was he just not worthy of that?!

[ “did i… did i do something wrong…? please, just talk to me, look at me!” ]

— SASSY TYPE. tighnari | الطغنري

[ “those idiots… honestly, they could at least treat you with a little more care!” ]

⇢ straightforward and no-nonsense, tighnari is well-respected among his peers for being an academic with an honest personality. especially in a school where anything can just tip anyone off, tighnari does not care about who he has to offend to make them back off. as such, many suitors can’t just do their trickery to you whenever he’s watching, lest he call them out on the spot.

⇢ he’s very concerned about your wellbeing. he’s often warning you about the dangers of the men you surround yourself with. whether you believe him or not is up to you, but that won’t stop him from trying to prevent anything from happening to you. obviously, he can’t just say that someone’s killed someone— he doesn’t want to ruin your life like that— but he’s often cryptic, hoping that you’ll figure it out for yourself.

⇢ very naggy, though he nags like a disappointed mother rather than a caring one. you and cyno are often at the end of these rants when you two do something stupid (either together or as individuals), but it’s a sign that tighnari truly cares about you. he could care less whether haitham cut himself on one of his books, but when you do he’s immediately all over you and berating you for being stupid and careless.

⇢ becomes too smug whenever you show a preference for him. he loves feeling when you choose him over anyone else and the suitors stew in their anger when he shoots them a haughty grin. cyno often has to remind him that he’s being too much, but he knows how much tighnari delights in defeating the other harem members without even having to do anything. you chose him out of your own free will, and that says a lot more than having you forced to pick him.

⇢ being raised on botany and all its properties, tighnari’s almost an expert in all things plants and that includes their… chemistry. it’s no surprise that he’s one of the suitors who are capable of concocting their little mixtures. when using it on other competitors, he’s not one to dirty his hands. he often has cyno slipping a thing or two in their drinks (or in special cases, an overly desparate kaveh). but when it comes to tampering with your drink? well, he reserves that special privilege for himself, all for the pleasure of watching the chemicals slowly affect you.

⇢ a smart guy, who knows that the way to your heart is not intimidating you into it but instead playing the nice and concerned friend. poor you, always being chased around by these unstable men. why have them who will only hurt you, when you can come to him, someone that you can trust? even if your vision is slipping away, your body becomes heavy… you can trust him, no matter what~

[ “feeling sleepy already? dear me, your body is really fragile… and cute ♪” ]

— GUARD DOG TYPE. cyno | κύων 

[ “if they’re bothering you again, talk to me. i’ll be the one to handle it.” ]

⇢ serious cyno who amuses you with his corny jokes delivered with a stoic expression. despite looking so mature, being with cyno often gets you two into trouble that he didn’t foresee. it has something to do with that intimidating expression and the way he’s ready to fight anyone who nears him. people mistake him for challenging them to a fight, and more often than not you’re left watching cyno beat down opponents in self-defense.

⇢ when people aren’t busy trying to fight him, cyno’s always seen patrolling the campus halls as head of the security committee. you can tell who’s been caught by him before by the way they flinch and avoid his piercing gaze. even many of his admirers are a bit terrified of him, and all they can do is just watch him walk over to you and whisper in your ear. they think you’re in trouble, but in reality, he’s telling you to meet him at the same meeting spot because he wants to show you this rare genius invocation card he just bought.

⇢ no one in his friend group takes him seriously anymore, not when he’s busy challenging all of them to a tcg fight every get-together. they tend to get roped up into his antics, and you can see how boys really will just be boys as the four of them begin to one-up each other into petty competitions. and cyno’s always been the most competitive out of them.

⇢ cyno seems to have a habit of suddenly showing up moments before one of your suitors plans to do something. they might start to sneak into your lockers to steal something when they see cyno leaning casually against the wall with a knowing glint in his eye. or when one of them spikes your drink and cyno unhesitatingly takes your glass and dump it on the floor, without breaking eye contact with the suspect. the guard dog that you don’t know about.

⇢ part of the protective stalker group within your suitors who make sure to follow you from the shadows whenever he has free time. these stalkers are often chill with each other, nodding at each other in acknowledgment whenever they bump into each other in one of their stalking escapades. he keeps a close eye on you at all times, with your security purely his concern and nothing else.

⇢ indifferent to getting his hands bloody. he’s not unreasonable— he knows that he can’t kill someone just because he’s jealous or something like that. he can’t risk doing something that will have an impact on you. but justice has to be served, and when he sees someone hurt you or become a threat to your safety… he just can’t help it. whether it’s mixing nari’s poison or simply giving them a cold, swift death, everything he does is because he loves you so.

[ “hush, there’s nothing to cry about. they’re gone, no one will hurt you. i have served you justice.” ]

— SCHEMING TYPE. kamisato ayato | 神里綾人

[ “oho? it pains me that you’re so wary of me, even after all these years!” ]

⇢ senior ayato who always has that gentle but calculating mask on, socializing with many people but never close to any of them. when people start realizing that you might have caught his interest, they have warned you about him and whatever shady motives he might harbor. but whenever he approached you, he was so kind and generous with his offerings… not that you were fooled.

⇢ he’s always showering you with gifts whenever you’re together like he’s trying to flex his wealth. bump into him at the mall? he tells you to walk with him for a bit, but you leave with a luxury item you eyed for a few seconds. bundles you up in his scarf when you’re feeling chilly, however when you try to return it to him on the next day he just tells you to keep it so casually like the fabric doesn’t cost you your life savings.

⇢ when class isn’t keeping them both apart, thoma is always seen attending to ayato’s side. it’s not a secret that thoma can go to school because the kamisatos are funding his education, so no one really questions it. they do get a little bit suspicious whenever the two seem a little… intimate, but in the end, who really cares?

⇢ you should really heed others’ warnings about ayato, because it’s clear that he’s a dangerous fellow. he seems to know everything about everyone. once, he had threatened your bullies off with a thinly veiled threat regarding their shady pasts. you don’t know how he got hold of such rare information, but it seems that he’s one of the many people at this school with an information network under their fingertips.

⇢ while he does view you with adoration, it’s clear with how he talks to you that he doesn’t view you as his equal. with the way he talks you down sometimes like he’s talking to a pet rather than a fellow student, you sometimes feel a bit… demeaned. but when ayato tucks your hair behind your ear so tenderly, you have to second-guess your apprehensions.

⇢ the difference between you two is clear. he is the elite of the elite and you are… you. and he takes advantage of this without guilt. it starts as off remarks, about how you wouldn’t survive a day in their society, then it transforms into something bigger. before you know it, he’s criticizing your clothes, your posture, your personality… anything to nail in the fact that you. are. different. till you lose your pride and self-worth. till ayato makes sure that you won’t have the willpower to fight back once he begins his schemes.

[ “but i’m not lying, am i? you are different, and we can’t really do anything about that, can we?” ]

— SUSPICIOUS TYPE. baizhu | 白术

[ “another trip to the nurse, i see… if i didn’t know better, i would think you were here to see me.” ]

⇢ senior baizhu is head of the health committee and is often seen helping out at the nurse’s. his kind and gentle nature makes the sterile place feel a lot more comforting and he attends to each patient without complaint. but when you come over, the nurse remarks how baizhu seems a bit more stressed whenever he frets over you. you’re not quite sure… after all, baizhu has always been so caring towards you and everyone else.

⇢ he’s sickly himself, so sometimes he has to rely on others for help. he does seem to ask you for help more so than the others, but you really shouldn’t mind. after all, he’s done so much for you! he’s prone to fainting, thankfully not that severe, but you have to catch him in your arms before he hits the floor. the way he thanks you and softly utters your name has you almost dropping him, and you swear there’s a cheeky grin on his face that’s gone a second after.

⇢ although his reputation is generally favorable, there are whispers that he and his family are involved in shady medical research. baizhu, when asked about these, will always only laugh and shake his head. ‘let them say what they want to say’, he would tell them. ‘what matters is that i’m capable of tending to them when they come to me for help.’ such thoughtful words often erase whatever doubts they have about baizhu and even make them guilty for even falsely accusing him.

⇢ but they’re right, though. they are a big pharmaceutical company, and every massive corporation has its shadows. a solo research that he’s been working on is in the area of immortality. in recent years, he’s been working on it with much more fervor now that he’s met you. back then, his goal for immortality was always directionless, only researching for the sake of curiosity. but now he has a clear goal: to spend eternity with you and for you.

⇢ he’s an expert businessman and your harem members are well aware of that. among them, he’s known to make many shady deals, especially since he’s so knowledgeable in… drugs. he makes a lot of profit from this, but another clear advantage is his time with you. though these rich students could just buy their drugs literally anywhere, no one quite provides the safety of not being caught like baizhu.

⇢ … might make those deals because more often than not, they end up with you in the nurse’s office. whether bruised from the bullying of another suitor or disoriented from some sort of poison, you rush to the nurse before things get worse for you. you’re so smart, he’d praise you as he tends to the wounds. there is a pleasure in bandaging you up, knowing full well that he could easily dig his nails into the cuts and leave you more in need of his help.

— ANXIOUS TYPE. mika schmidt 

[ “they’re very cool but i… maybe i shouldn’t get too close…” ]

⇢ lil bro gets pushed around by the meaner people in his year and he doesn’t even question it. it’s just very easy to take advantage of him, with his eager-to-please personality and his notable ability to do almost anything exceptionally well. it takes him being adopted into the first-year harem group before the bullying dies down (mainly because most of the people there are well-known and powerful). he doesn’t quite understand how they could bond over a person (you) and was originally quite frightened at their almost fanatic worship of you.

⇢ no one would think he’s part of your harem, not with the way he desperately tries to avoid you. in fact, you could count the times you’ve talked to him on two hands. on all times he was a blushing and stuttering mess to the point that he was incoherent. xingqiu seemed to take a kick out of his embarrassment, while aether softly coaxed him into forming a full sentence in front of you. what stuck with you was how he refused to shake your hand, to which xingqiu bowled over laughing. 

⇢ when he got a little bit more comfortable with you, he was still shy albeit not much to the point that he wasn’t willing to offer you help. you’d often bump into each other while you’re on your errand, and he takes half the workload. most of the time, the two of you work in silence, with mika taking frequent glances at you. when you’re done, he says a meek ‘goodbye!’ and sprints off.

⇢ stalks you around school like a little creep, but thankfully not to the point where he follows you home. he’d peek from around a corner, watching you in the distance with wide eyes in admiration. you’re always so hardworking and excellent… it’s no wonder you have so many admirers! he was almost caught by you a few times, but thankfully you’re none the wiser. his stalking is painfully obvious to the other harem members, but they think him harmless enough that they don’t pay him any mind.

⇢ things that you need the most are always miraculously appearing in your bag, locker, table, etc. when you had complained to thoma about not bringing your lunch, later that day you’d open your locker to find a freshly made lunchbox. when you grumble to yourself about running out of correction tape, a pack with the plastic still on appears on your table. you’re perplexed, albeit grateful. after all, this isn’t the first time some creepy shit has happened to you.

⇢ he really really wishes he’d work up the courage to talk to you face to face without having to be so nervous… but he can’t help the jitters whenever you’re just in front of him! your voice has his ears ringing, your scent has him dizzy, and you’re just so, so cool that he feels so small compared to you! how could he ever talk to you like this…! maybe in the future, when mika would be more capable and dependable…

[ “a–aah… how could i talk to them! they’re too…!” ]

[strwberri-milk]

Hello! Saw your ask was open and thought I’d share a request idea. I was thinking about a reverse hurt/comfort for the Genshin men where they overhear a negative comment about themselves and worry their partner might agree with it. Maybe the comment comes from a friend or family member of the partner so it holds more weight than a random person’s comment.

My favorites are Kaeya, Zhongli, and Diluc but if you want to drop or substitute any characters that’s fine. Ideas for comments could be like they’re intimidating, too busy, secretive, even just generally kind of weird. It doesn’t have be deep angst, just a little doubt for their partner to reassure them about.

Hope this finds you well!

Kaeya is fully aware of the rumours that surround him. He’s aware that some people think he’s some playboy extraordinaire, that some people think he’s got too many secrets, and some people still haven’t gotten over their initial suspicion ion of him from when he first got to Mondstat. Typically, none of it would bother him but it also might have to do with the fact that most people don’t make it a habit to tell him they feel some sort of way in person or around him.

When the two of you are on a date, he happens to overhear some other people sitting just close enough that you can hear them as well, but too far away for them to notice that Kaeya’s picked up on their conversation. He tries not to show that he can hear them but the look on your face tells him you know what’s happening and you’re hearing it as well. He just laughs it off and casually mentions that the two of you should head out now - it’s getting late after all and he’d hate for the two of you to be caught out while it’s dark.

You can tell immediately what’s happening and initially decide to let Kaeya get away with it. You don’t want to be overly aggressive if it’s something that’s bothering him too much but you also don’t want him to hide it from you just because he’s afraid of how you’ll react.

Quickly, you gather that he’s feeling a little insecure about himself by his desperate attempts to try and tell you something without actually telling you anything. He’s talking himself into circles, you trying to follow the threads of conversation as much as you could while piecing together what it is that he’s insecure about. You know he really values touch and since you can’t get him to stop talking you decide to lead him back to bed,

Without thinking, he curls himself into you as you pull him onto your sheets. He sighs happily at the feeling of your fingers combing through his hair. You quietly talk to him now, telling him that you love him no matter what and even if he doesn’t want to tell you everything about himself you’ll always trust him. Kaeya doesn’t realize how badly he needs to hear that until that very moment, nodding as he presses kisses against your throat as a silent thank you for your reassurance.

Zhongli typically isn’t bothered by very much. He’s heard everything he’s needed to and he’s typically very secure in his own person. He’s never minded what people say about him but he’s also never really had anybody say anything particularly demeaning about him.

That’s why when he hears an off putting comment at work one day he’s not sure what to do about it. He doesn’t let it bother him too much but he does find himself thinking about it more than he expected to. You can tell he’s chewing on something when he comes home, sitting down at your table and deciding to directly ask you if you think he’s strange.

Your confusion settles nerves he didn’t even know he had and he chuckles a little, telling you that he heard someone say that to him today and he wasn’t sure what to make of it. He tells you exactly what it was that they told him, you reassuring him that you don’t feel that way about him. He smiles at your kind words and thanks you for telling him so, feeling better already just with that brief conversation between the two of you.

Diluc typically has a very positive relationship with most people. He’s young, handsome, rich, and charming as needed. Sure, he can come off as standoffish if people aren’t talking to him for business purposes but he knows how to talk sweetly to such an extent that it’d challenge Kaeya’s silver tongue if he decided to add casual flirting into the mix.

However, that also means some people feel as though he’s not to be trusted because of this. He knows that people might not like him because of all the dealings he has and how he can manipulate things to benefit him if needed but he also doesn’t care. Diluc would never do anything immoral, but he does have his own ways of doing things that may not be seen as conventional.

It takes a while for it to weigh on him but after one particularly rough day he comes home and simply lays his head in your lap. He’s not always good at verbalizing the issues he’s going through but you can tell when something’s bugging him because he just seeks out your presence silently.

You let him, not sure what else he wants but upon your request he mutters something about how some people have just been saying nasty things about him recently and he guesses it’s worse than he thought it initially was. You hum in understanding, cupping his face and telling him all of the things that you love about him. He takes it all in slowly, not wanting to interrupt you and feeling his chest warm at the affection you have for him.

It doesn’t take him long to feel his uncertainty dissipate, quietly thanking you for picking up on what he needed so well. You just bend down to press a kiss against his messy curls, cupping his face and telling him that he doesn’t have to thank you for you just simply loving him. You’d always be here for him, no matter what he thinks or what people say.

[nervocat]

hiii! i ABSOLUTELY love your 'dancing with the fontanians' publish and is it ok if i request the same type but sumeru characters? thank uuuuu

★ 📝 — notes: I actually wanted to do something like this but I didn't expect my last one to be received so well since I didn't try my best on it, but I'm glad you and many others liked it ^^

Also, quick heads-up: I don't know the Sumeru woman too well so if you, anon, or others reading this wanted more female characters, so sorry I only did a couple, and this again, isn't my favorite of my works, but it's not too bad I hope, and I'm so sorry this took so long to do.. my motivation just kinda plummeted to write this (not that I didn't like it). Not proofread btw, will read later (maybe)

       — word count: 1.1k , fandom: genshin impact , cw: none — ✦

                     " Dancing with the Sumerians "

★ — Kaveh

     Kaveh doesn’t know how to dance, like at all. He only knows the positions so if you don’t know how to dance either, you’re screwed. However, if you do know how to dance, he gets flustered at the thought of actually dancing with you in specific. Same with if you don’t know, but you two just fumble over each other and it just makes you two laugh.

     The first time you dip him, he starts to misstep and his face is red. He liked it though, so please do it again. Kaveh would like to try and dip you too though, but he was kind of clumsy with it. You two would normally dance in his room while you two dance to the typical classical music with sumerian touches to it. If you kiss him when you dip him, he'll straight up stop moving. He'll regain his composure though and grumble to himself before kissing you as well.

       Kaveh likes to be spun and then you lean him down, but not dipping him. He'll giggle about it later, and he'll try to do the same to you, but he'll probably fail. He tried though.

     He doesn't know how to dance at all, but either learning or teaching him is always fun and it's always fun with the blond. ☆

✦ — Alhaitham

     Also doesn't know how to dance. He's not as clueless as his roommate, but still doesn't know where to put his feet. When you two dance, it's in his room as well and he'll look deep into your eyes, analyzing the colors as he also focuses on his footing whether you're teaching him or not. He'll be smiling when he finally knows how to dip you and kisses you before pulling you back up.

     He learns quickly though so expect him to be able to dance good enough pretty soon. He also dances to the typical classical music, minus the Sumerian flare to it. Alhaitham overtime becomes a mediocre dancer and if need be, he’ll teach you some things if you didn’t teach him to dance. He doesn’t prefer to be dipped when dancing, but he’ll let it slide once or twice if you're able to dip him.

       He'll definitely spin you and kean you down and smile slightly while doing so. You probably won't do the same to him, but he'll let you try to do so.

     Overall, he’s an average dancer and learns quickly and dancing with him is definitely an experience. ✧

★ — Cyno

     Doesn't know how to dance either. He never took the time to learn so he just doesn't even know where to put his hands. If you don’t know how to dance either then expect to trip a few times and him making a pun about it. Cyno at least knows the music you’d dance to though.

      He pretty much will never dip you or really do anything romantic unless you ask and teach him. Once he does learn though, expect him to at least dip you or kiss you a few times and he’s pretty good at it. You two don’t dance often, but he tries to dance with you when you two are free. If you dip him, he’ll just simple and go with it, maybe a joke here and there.

     Dancing with Cyno isn’t very enthralling, but you know he loves you, you’ll just have to tolerate all the puns while dancing. ☆

✦ — Tighnari

     Knows how to dance to some extent. Tighnari knows where to put his hands, the basics of dancing, but his footing can be a bit off at times. He likes to dip you and smiles while doing so but wouldn’t mind being dipped either, he doesn't care. Tighnaris tail might gently wag on occasion as his ears would flick sometimes.

     Like Alhaitham, he learns quickly if you teach him some things and is very attentive to what you say. He mainly focuses on his ranger work, but has enough free time to either practice dancing with you or to just dance.

    Tighnari will dance with you when he can and sometime Collei will stumble in on you two and just leave you be, happy you two have an activity to do together. ✧

★ — Nilou

     She's a dancer, Nilou obviously knows how to dance, but might have to learn a few things for this type of dancing though. Even if you know how to dance you might learn a thing or two with her and she’d love to teach her lover how to dance, it’s her passion. She loves to dip you but also be dipped, and she wouldn’t really do things like kissing, but she would occasionally and let you smother her if you wanted to.

     You two would dance to all kinds of music and she'd like to explore different dances couples would do, learning as well as she went. If it's a special occasion, she'll give you a kiss on the nose or maybe on the lips if she's able to dip you. If not, she'll she'll it while spinning with you.

      No matter what gender you are, she doesn't care. As long as you'll dance with her, she'll dance with you. ☆

✦ — Lisa (added her here because she's from Sumeru)

     She knows how to dance as well. She’s not super experienced like Nilou, but she knows a little bit more than the basics. You two dance in the library when you two know no one will be around and she just puts on the typical classical music. You two have never really walked in on, but Paimon and Traveler did once.

    Lisa absolutely loves to dip you, but she also adores being dipped equally so, so it's a win-win for you two in whatever you prefer you prefer to do. She also likes to be spun around as much as she likes to be spun around. She'll be gently laughing when done with a smile on her face, her hat usually being off when she dances with you.

     Lisa absolutely loves dancing, especially with some sumerian flair, but she just loves you and will call you names of endearment throughout the dance. ✧

★ — Wanderer

     Dancing with him? He probably knows how to dance, but isn't willing to. Wanderer eventually caves in though, with the exception of some grumbling, and goes to dance with you. This is more of a one time thing, but he'll do it more if you politely ask him (with some poking a prodding).

     He won't be super romantic, but he'll spin and dip you and tease you with a smirk while doing so. Wanderer won't dance for long, but the short moment lets you know how much Wanderer genuinely loves you. By the end, he's slightly flustered and might walk off, but he'll probably stay around.

     Dancing with Wanderer is a rare opportunity, but it's a good experience with him and a rare moment of intimacy. ☆

Hello! I saw the event while scrolling and decided to give it a shot!

Description: I do have a semi-intimidating presence, but I'm honestly rather shy. I don't really talk with many people, but the ones that I'm close with, I just act cuddly and bubbly with. I like playing video games a lot, as well as giving compliments and affection to my besties. I don't like dealing with very loud noises (ex. screaming).

I am a switch leaning lee.

Fandom: Genshin Impact

With a female please!

Hello Glaciaaa how're you doing? Thank you for participating, and sorry for making you wait so long... with my birthday coming up and my attempts to restore my social life after 2 years of studying with no breaks, I haven't been really active here on tumblr. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and you're more than welcome to let me know if you do! ❤️🍡 *some dango for you while you read my work*

🔮 For this event, your pair is... YAE MIKO

🔮 Why did I choose her for you?

• So... just as you're cuddly with the ones close to you, Yae has a bubbly side as well behind her teasy personality! • When she first laid her eyes on you, she almost sweet-talked you into being a shrine maiden, but you miraculously managed to keep up your cold façade and turned her down • The Kitsune wasn't really used to not getting what she wanted, which made you even more interesting in her eyes... what she didn't expect was to eventually fall in love with you • You were pretty surprised when she asked you out... according to Miko, your ears were as pink as hers actually hehe • I'm pretty sure that the tickling started a little before you had started dating, since Yae is a huge tease. You have probably been mostly on the receiving end, and only after the two of you started hanging out alone you managed to get your revenge • I'm sure she would love to watch other people being intimidated by you while she knows how goofy you can be... it would be one of her sources of amusement, but never at your expenses • You're also one of the few people she shows her soft side to... once you start complimenting her, you might even be lucky enough to see her flustered • Yae doesn't like being ignored, which is why she does everything she can to distract you... and unfortunately (or fortunately) for you, tickles are one of her favorite distraction techniques~ • You probably found out Miko's most ticklish spot while cuddling with her. You gave her scritches on her back, but your hand got to the lower back, close to the point where the tail is attached • I see her taking you out on cute little dates, like the ones you see on romance novels. Managing a publishing house surely helps to find inspiration for date ideas • The teasy demeanor she has with everyone might make you feel insecure, but she would give you as much reassurance as you need. I see her as a tease, but she's also a caring soul in her own way • If you tell this to anyone, she's probably gonna murder you in cold blood (/jk), but she lets you cuddle her tails to sleep if you struggle with falling asleep, if you had a bad day, or if you're just in the mood. You knew she really loved and trusted you when she gave you the honor of seeing her tails~

🔮 Tickle scenario

Normal days... waking up, getting ready for work, going back home, enjoying free time... You stopped having them when you started going out with Yae Miko.

She always added spice to your days, finding new ways to tease you every time. Sometimes you wondered how she was able to come up with certain lines, or to know which nerves to strike, or which buttons to push... it was like a gift, a quirk, a power given by Celestia... you weren't completely sure, but the only clear fact is that she got you every time, and no matter how much you tried to deny it, you loved it every single time.

Although there were times where you wanted to kick her pretty butt, like this one, for example.

"No. Absolutely not. No way!" You stomped your foot and crossed your arms, which made her chuckle with her usual teasy and smug-yet graceful demeanor. "Why not? We'd both benefit from this, and everyone would be enthusiastic to see a new face~" You glared at her and breathed sharply, "There's no way I'm impersonating Mrs Hina's best friend!!"

Yes, she was really asking you that. Mrs Hina's column and events were reaching extraordinary numbers of audience, so the Kitsune wanted to take advantage of that moment of glory and take more out of that business. Poor Gorou, you thought.

The banter went on until you stormed away completely embarrassed and even a little angry, and in that moment Miko understood that she had crossed the line. She noticed that many people were eavesdropping your conversation, and she understood why you seemed angry.

You were reading a book (better yet, you were pretending to read a book) when she came in. She seemed unbothered as always, but your keen eye could tell that her ears were hanging slightly lower than usual. You knew she was feeling bad, so you put your book away and waited for her to start talking.

"I may have exaggerated with the persuasion today..." She started, realizing how hard it was to apologize sometimes, "but I'm sorry for embarrassing you so much, this time I failed to see the line. Can you forgive me?" She sounded a little formal, but you knew she was sincere.

"No." You smirked; it was true that you could perceive her sincerity, but you still wanted to see her struggle just a little for once.

"Oh really now? Are you denying me my forgiveness?~"

Uh oh... you hadn't predicted this reaction from her, but you couldn't back down now. "Exactly. I'm denying your forgiveness." You replied with your best poker face, which wasn't that good actually.

You watched her approach you, with her proud bearing, her ominous smirk and her ears even more raised than ever. She swiftly pinned you to the bed, clearly indulging in her fox instincts for a second, and pulled up your shirt just enough to reveal your belly.

"Yae! What do you think you're doing??" You scoffed, making your best effort to suffocate the butterflies in your stomach and keep up your cold demeanor, but your struggle intensified when a single fingernail started drawings all kinds of shapes on your bare tummy.

"I think you know what I'm doing..." The pink-haired woman replied smugly, "since you don't wanna forgive me, I need a little persuasion." She stated with her usual mellifluous tone, then she leaned closer to your right ear and whispered "And I know this is your favorite method."

She chuckled at how you scrunched your shoulder and resumed her light, almost lazy tracing, enjoying how such a light touch made you struggle. However, you were a tough nut to crack and the ticklish feeling wasn't enough to win over your stubbornness.

But Yae knew that very well. In that moment, she lifted her hand and made a claw with it, then she held it right above your most sensitive spot. "Yae... YAE! Wait... w-we can talk about this... y-you don't need t- AAAAAHH NAHAHAHAHA PLEHEHEAHASEEE"

She attacked without even the slightest warning, making you squeal, scream and squirm like you'd never done. She knew how to tickle you in the best way thanks to her wide experience in teasing you... she was genuinely curious to see how long you'd manage to resist.

You lasted five minutes, much more than usual, before finally giving in and forgiving her, and as much as she loved hearing you beg, she understood it was time to let you breathe.

When you recovered, she revealed her tails and gestured toward you to invite you to snuggle with them. You promptly accepted and threw yourself in that wonderful world of pink fluff.

"By the way," You said after a few minutes of cuddling, "if you want someone to be Mrs Hina's best friend, why don't you do it yourself? You surely are cute enough..." you smirked.

"My my... someone clearly didn't have enough tickles to stop being cheeky, huh?" At those words, you grabbed her hands at lightning speed, but her grin made you gulp.

Were you missing something?

In that moment, you felt something fluffy caressing your neck... and you remembered that you were surrounding by the Kitsune's tails.

"YAHAHAHAE NOHOHOHOOOO"

[mondandelion]

Sorry i didn't see the lady part! Can you make it for Lisa, Jean and Rosaria? Thank you 💕

notes no worries! mistakes happen! i'm happy to work on those kinky hcs for some of my favourite genshin ladies!

content warnings mommy kink, pet play, unreasonable use of Electro and Cryo, sex toys, rough sex, dom/sub dynamics, temperature play, voyeurism, exhibitionism, sensory deprivation, marking/hickeys, biting

LISA MINCI

she enjoys a good roleplay scenario, especially when it allows her to be in total control in the bedroom. she wants control over you and your body. call her mommy and she will be very pleased with you—at least as long as you don't misbehave, that is.

corporal punishments are something that she has a lot of fun with. she doesn't have much physical strength, but she has one hell of a collection of paddles and whips and various other toys. she will never hesitate to use them on you if you go against her and act the slightest bit disrespectful towards her.

while she's definitely a domme, she will always prefer to make you do most of the work for her. Lisa is lazy to her core, so when she wears the strap, you'll be the one riding it so she can enjoy the view, hands on your hips.

Lisa loves to watch. she is more of a voyeur than an exhibitionist (she has a reputation among the people of Mondstadt, after all, and she can't risk it). catching you touching yourself is one of her favourite things—she gets to watch and tease you and once you notice she's there, she will give you orders, tell you how to touch yourself.

if you're with her, you better expect to feel electricity more than just in the air. unconventional use of her Vision is a game she loves to play. little bolts of Electro to the most sensitive parts of your body, from her fingertips, to your nipples, your inner thighs.

JEAN GUNNHILDR

being the respectful and gentle knight that she is, Jean is very soft in general with all things that are related to sex. for her, it is something that is extremely personal—to share with someone she loves and cares about. so gentle sex is the default for her, something that is just the two of you, only fingers and tongue, no toys to interfere and get in the way.

Jean is really good with her fingers and her tongue. she can give you orgasm after orgasm, without needing a proper break because her stamina never runs out. and well, she's discovered that overstimulating you is very entertaining for her—your moans and whimpers and sobs are like music to her ears. she could go down on you for hours, really.

she is a versatile switch who adapts to her partners, but Archons, does she love bottoming! after long, hard days at work, she deserves a break. that's when her praise kink rears its ugly head! give her orders, forbid her to touch you while you caress her and call her a good girl for being so obedient and doing just as she is asked. she will always do her best to be your perfect, obedient girl.

though she is far from being a kinky person, often too worried that she will do something you won't like or that she won't like, Jean has a few "unconventional" things that she enjoys. sensory deprivation is one of them; she loves playing with blindfolds, to cover her eyes or yours. she finds the idea of not knowing what's to come really arousing.

ROSARIA

it's no surprise that this unconventional nun likes it quick, rough, often as hard as possible. she has to have control over the situation, always, or else things stop. she is your mistress and you are nothing but a cute little pet under her thumb, and she gives you all the reasons to enjoy every second of your time with her.

while she doesn't want to be caught doing anything, she loves humiliating her partners in as many ways as possible—taunting you with the risk of getting caught is something she takes sadistic pleasure in. a collar and a leash are good accessories to makes you wear to take you on walks around the cathedral when she knows that there won't be anyone to see it. she never is the one exposed, always the one who dominates.

in a more private setting ( never her own place ), Rosaria loves to tease and play around and humiliate just as much as in any other kind of setting. she just has different types of games in mind. temperature play is the game. she loves to use her Vision to create cock-shaped ice to fuck you with—sometimes she wears it with leather straps so that she can take you however she wants.

though she keeps an emotional distance with people, Rosaria has a tendency to mark your body. what is hers is hers, and nobody should ever touch something that belongs to her. she marks your inner thighs, your neck ( right under your jaw so you can't hide it ), your breasts. she always bites to leave her marks.

OKG I SAW UR EVENT THING AND I REALLY WANT TO JOIN IT LOOKS SO COOL AHH

OK OK SO

For my scaramouche(genshin impact)

-zodiac-sun scorpio moon aquarius

-initials are ŠC (im sorry ik its not a common one😨)

-deck-second deck, lady Aphrodite

About me- my friends say that i am very rude but i personally think that im pretty okay, i osnt know ehat to say about myself so ima just write what comes to mind

i am pretty emotional and i really love attention, like i never ask for attention bc i would feel like a attentuon seeker but i really like it, even tho only by certain people aka friends bc attention in public makes me want to throw up,Im a type of person who likes something then overobsseses and gets bored of it. My mbti is enfp but i dont quiet think its right but im lazy to redo it. I dont know anymore i hope u can work q this stay hydrated and dont overwork urself

So you got:

"I promise you it's real even if it was for a moment."

"Just kiss me one last time."

"I will choose you and only you forever."

Warning: Contains angst

A/N: I hope this is to your liking. It ended up being an angst and to be honest, this one hurts. Enjoy reading :) ps. also thank you so much i won’t overwork myself :))

Everyone tells you that Scaramouche is dangerous and that you should avoid him at all cost. Still you didn't listen and you dove head first into the spiral of love. It's already too late to stop.

Maybe if you had only listened and yet you never do. You tend to follow your heart, your ambitions, and whatever your mind comes up with. You fell in love with Scaramouche but instead you were the one to hurt him, something no one had expected.

When you both started dating, he was hesitant. He relied on you to lead him and he realized that love is not a straight line. He learned that love is a give and take. He had to care for someone again. He even learned about what you liked and disliked and he learned to reciprocate your love. Something that he pushed down deep into his heart.

Something along the way went wrong. Maybe it was because he was too preoccupied with himself. He wanted you there by his side but he also pushed you away. He was too stuck in his fears. All you asked was for him to give you the same amount of love that he once gave you but he can't do that. Not yet anyways. Just be patient for him, although who knows how long he'll be able to get out of his dark head space.

You wanted more that Scara couldn't give you. You were ready for love but he wasn't. The same love that you once had for him wilted like a flower. You didn't want to be there any longer but you didn't want to leave him. Still you didn't want to be trapped in a love that resembled more like a cage.

When you told Scaramouche that you should break off the relationship, he didn't cry nor did he feel anything. This time he had it coming. He pushed you away. He didn't give you what you needed. Scara was getting deeper into his pool of dark thoughts.

"I promise you, it's real even if it was for a moment," You assured him. You truly did love him and he needs to know that.

"Just kiss me one last time," He whispers to which you obliged. The kiss made you want to stay. It was the kiss of desperation, the kiss of sadness, and a kiss that could have been more. Once the both of you pulled away, he hugged you. "I will choose you and only you forever."

A/N: So like potential reincarnation AU??

20 questions for writers

I was tagged by @comfort-questing! Thank you, this was fun.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Currently 55

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

576,498! That's over six years of posting

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I've written for many! Currently I have active WIPs for Genshin Impact, Tamora Pierce, Persona 5, and Demon Slayer. (I also have a couple unposted for Mistborn)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

By Only a Flicker (FMA)

Into Darkness and Howling (Genshin)

Maelstrom (Demon Slayer)

Pray to Blades of Grass (Genshin)

Fingernails the Colour of Rust (Genshin)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! Sometimes I miss some but in general I try to. It encourages involvement, which I love. Fandom as a community is really important to me.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmmm okay so. I'm going to list a few because I can't decide because they're all very specific.

Fragile Things isn't really an angsty ending, per se, but it isn't happy. You know that long term it isn't going to get any better. Xiao is still chronically ill; Collei is still terminally ill. They have each other but that doesn't change the circumstances.

A Dream of a Memory (Genshin Impact) is Hurt No Comfort because it's a prequel so idk if that counts

Still Too Similar (Tamora Pierce) is a modern take on a canon death, which I'm also not sure counts because it's based off canon.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

It's probably between The Sea That's Painted Black and Pray to Blades of Grass

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Nope! I don't think I ever have but I wouldn't really be bothered if I did. I'd just delete the comment.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Once! It was kinda angsty, kinda sweet. I write smut like a wealthy Edwardian woman who would die if somebody so much as said an annotomically correct word.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No I haven't but I've seen some great ones.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Sort of? There is a person who was inspired by my work and wrote theirs without credit (which is whatever, it's all fic) but they paraphrase plagarized my first chapter, which was devistated. It made me stop writing for a couple weeks because it just killed my desire.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yeah! Several into Russian, and then a couple other languages.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

None currently posted but I did with @currentlylurking when we were younger! And I've helped my friends as a sounding board for fics for years. I just don't have time to co-write, sadly.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I don't really have an all time favourite. Currently I write a lot of cynonari/tighcyno from Genshin Impact, which I love, but I think my oldest ships are Alex/Thom and Numair/Thom from Tamora Pierce? So that might count more.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

*Sigh* at this point? Probably Into Darkness and Howling. I love the fic and the concept, but the general discourse around the character ruined any writing of him for me. Everybody gets so mad about characterization and localization that even if the fic never got any complaints I'm just not comfortable attempting. Also the popularity of it really scary even if the character wasn't contentious. There's too many expectations of it now.

16. What are your writing strengths?

My ideas are amazing. I come up with great canon divergent AUs.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Sometimes it feels like everything lol. Spelling is definitely my worst, you just can't tell since I use a beta reader and spellcheck. Characterization and making my characters unique in thoughts and dialogue can also be a struggle.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I haven't done it but I like it when it's done well! I think you have to intersperse it with the original languague of the fic and make sure it contextually makes sense without needing a translation.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Technically Tamora Pierce in an old notebook but officially my first works were Soul Eater. (They were really really bad)

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I like a lot of them but Fragile Things is held close to my heart.

I'm tagging @faelynny @currentlylurking @marcellebelle @lavenders-writing @clementinecoastline no pressure to do it though!

Genshin High School Shenanigans :

Death Creeps In

When Xiao was about to bring Zhongli's wallet to his new workplace, he stumbles upon the creepy girl of his school, Hu Tao, who happens to be the director of the place Zhongli's working. With this weird meeting, the two started to make a weird friendship with each other.

Content warning: none

Tags: modern au, high school, fluff

Pairing: Hu Tao x Xiao (HuXiao)

Part: 6

—

Walking out of the rollercoaster, Xiao could only stumble his way with the bubbly Hu Tao leading him to another ride. He didn't expect a rollercoaster could be that crazy of loops—and the more weirdest part of it—Hu Tao isn't even affected by it. How could this petite girl have a stronger body than him?! Him, Xiao?!

"Do you... Always... Ride that thing?" He asks, trying to stay stable with his might.

Hu Tao only giggle at his reaction—if only Xiao could say the same—and she just leans next to him, helping him walk stable. "Of course! My grandpa and I love the rollercoaster." She puts on a bright smile that kept growing wider. "Why, you can't take it?"

"Yes?" The frustration is displayed nonchalantly all over his face. "No shit."

It's honestly pretty funny to her. Seeing someone stoic and calm as Xiao being very sick and dazed by a rollercoaster ride like that. His teal hair messy from the velocity of the ride, his clothes crumpled, even the way he breathes so heavily now only make her giggle.

It's refreshing to have fun with someone like this.

She holds his arm, keeping his feet stable on the ground. But unbeknownst to the both of them, they're blushing so hard and their hearts are racing.

Oh god... What am I doing?? Ai-yai-yai... I should stop... She thinks to herself, trying to release her grip on his arm but he holds her hand in place, causing her flinch a little. What is he... She doesn't even notice the noticeable blush dusting his cheeks, making them red as apples.

His eyes dart around the room before stepping back, letting her go and walk before her in a much faster pace. It was clear that he was very flustered. "I'm feeling better. Let's go."

Hu Tao couldn't explain it but just by watching him leading the way through the busy crowd just warms her heart with unimaginable affection.

Maybe...

...just maybe...

She's falling deeper than she wanted.

"Are you coming or what?" He turns to her with the same piercing glare he has but only a little bit softer than before.

"R-right beside you!"

As they both walk the streets of the amusement park, Xiao keeps a close eye on her, even letting to himself to walk near the crowd where she could possibly end up being touched by someone.

But sometimes keeping an eye on somebody can make yourself unfocused on your surroundings and that is what's happening to Xiao.

"Hey, watch out." Hu Tao warns him, dragging him closer to her. Before Xiao could react, a rather rowdh group of kids run pass them. That was a close call. "O-oh... Thanks."

And for a moment, both of their eyes meet. She never notice it before but he really has long eyelashes, probably longer than hers. His whole face is really handsome... Wait, wait, stop thinking! This isn't you!

"Is something wrong?" He says blankly, not realizing the position he's in.

Hu Tao, flushed and flustered, just shakes her head and pushes him slightly, continuing their walk to their next fun ride.

As they walk side by side...

Buzz! Buzz!

It's coming from Hu Tao's phone.

"Hello?" She answers it.

"Ah, my dear Hu Tao." It was Xingqiu! "Did you prepare your rap?"

Oh shit, I forgot.

[genshin-obsessed]

I have become a Toxin simp from reading her bits. A clear red flag, but can we have a fic where we just fall for her instead of any other genshin character? 👉👈

Very curious how that would go down lmAo

I will NEVER turn down a Toxin x Reader fanfic lmao i love this so much ;w; I just hope you can find it cuz i dont exactly have proper tags lol

Character: Toxin Genre: fluff for once lol Word Count: 400

Toxin's in Love

“What are you doing?” The tall woman asked as she looked down at your goofy face smiling back up at her.

“I’m hugging you.”

“Yeah, I see that. Why?” She asked as she continued to stare down at you. She had little to no intent to return the hug but she didn’t stop you either.

“Well… I don’t know! I really like you, so I decided to hug you. Is that a problem?” You countered as you looked up at her. Toxin fell into thought but her silence was short-lived.

“No. I don’t mind. But I do need to keep walking and if you hang off my hip like that, I’ll get nowhere.” She informed you as she took a step, which almost caused you to fall.

“Yeah, well you’re like eight feet tall! I can’t help that you’re so freakishly tall!” You pouted, but your grip didn’t loosen on her, in fact, it just tightened. “Come on, gimme a hug! Please.”

“Why would I do such a thing? What have you done to deserve a hug?” She teased, which only made your pout, poutier. “Ok, ok, stop making that face.” She said as she bent down and wrapped her arms around you.

You closed your eyes, reveling in her warmth. Though Toxin was a cold woman to everyone else, she was quite gentle with you. She always made sure to put your needs first- making sure you were eating well, drinking enough water, and getting plenty of rest. She was definitely strict, scolding you if you didn’t take care of yourself or overworked. That’s one thing she definitely didn’t appreciate. When you don’t take appropriate breaks between tasks. She watches you like a hawk- and sometimes she’s pretty scary. It didn’t take you too long before you realized you were Toxin’s main priority. The way she took care of you was quite the opposite of how most people expected she would do so. Toxin was a monster, a murderer, yet here she was loving you and taking care of you.

“Ok, thank you!” You said as you finally let go and took a step away, locking your hands behind your back. The tall woman only chuckled and patted your head before she walked ahead of you. You could still feel the lingering warmth, which brought a small smile on your face. “Thanks, Toxin.” You murmured before following after her.

[hangezoeenthusiast]

well hello anyone who is actually on tumblr and hasnt forgotten about me. ive been offline for a year or so, had personal issues in my life, and also started high school so i wanted to focus on that. life update:

- im in 10th grade now :)) high school isnt that bad and there actually isnt as much fights as there was in past years. also im in a lot of advanced classes now

- i got new friends, and dumped my old ones(they were toxic)

- got into some new fandoms(call of duty, genshin[sorta i barely tolerate some people, I just try to play the game without interacting with the fandom], tmnt[i’ve always loved it], and others that I can't rlly think about rn

- got my working permit today :D after new years I'm gonna look for a job

- well I figured out I'm trans now (f-t-m), after years of question my gender and making excuses, I'm also pansexual :)

- the name I want my legal name to be is kaisen(kai is just a nickname and I dont use j anymore)

- body image stuff, sucks to suck but I'm trying everyday, slowly

- i actually have a girlfriend, we have been together for 3 months, and known each other for around 1 or 2 years. We are long distance(she lives in another country), time zones suck, but we make it work. We also met on genshin, so i guess i owe the game for that.

- im teaching myself how to draw, and also have been reading a lot of books lately

- family life isnt the best, im not gonna elaborate, but i just try to ignore it

it seems like a dream with how i acted a year ago. i seemed way more immature than what i do act now. i was so innocent i guess you could say, and i guess you could also say that i was just figuring myself out. and as im sitting in my bed, listening to The Neighborhood, im reminiscing. i do miss the friends that i had before i dropped them, and i really wish that i didnt push everyone away whenever i was in a depressive episode, but its the past. if i cant get over the past i’ll never be able to move on into the future. im just so glad that past me could get that experience of exploring themselves and meeting new people. also i was very very cringey i realize now, i feel like i was acting a sort of way to get recognition from people.

[foiba]

That's the actual post.

That is a rape joke.

Quit saying, "diluc isn't even asexual." They were being portrayed as asexual in that context.

You fucked up, now own it and don't do this shit again.

hello- thanks for ignoring my requests to privately dm about this and instead coming into my inbox since you intend on milking as much public attention as possible from this. anyways i’ll explain under the cut

thanks for the opportunity to explain this lol. not in a million years would i have intended for or even thought that this could somehow have been interpreted as being about rape, because it most definitely isn’t, but i realize now that it’s able to be interpreted that way and i’m incredibly sorry. i should never have expected that people would possess the basic critical thinking skills to understand that people don’t randomly joke about this. i don’t know what side of the internet you’re on that people do, but i would HIGHLY suggest you find a different space.

i created this blog as a way to continue playing a character that i’ve played for several months in a mutuals server. this character, loosely based on diluc from genshin impact, was never asexual to begin with, and the people who are with me in this server and the people who the blog was intended for (the same people) already understand that. i’m sorry that i got caught up in the character and didn’t put a flashing “diluc is not actually asexual” banner on the blog. i didn’t think i had to. he’s based on my own experiences being autistic and socially anxious, and believing i was asexual because tumblr loves to take people who don’t experience immediate horny feelings for everyone around them and push the asexual label on them. he’s a bit uncomfortable when people flirt with him, but he’s in control and is able to react appropriately when he needs to.

i see that the “you won’t be when i’m done with you” could have been interpreted as unwarranted and nonconsensual. i’m sorry for laughing about it. i see it’s made people uncomfortable. what was funny to me about it was him being in denial- not the advances on him that @/ribbonsweet was making, which were also very obviously jokes to begin with. there was zero malicious intent. once again, i guess I shouldn’t have expected people to be able to read a room or use even an ounce of context when interacting with my posts.

i am not someone who would ever condone or joke about violence, especially of this nature. i’ve repeatedly asked your crowd to leave me alone and to stop bringing this up to me. i’m a grooming survivor. this isn’t a “gotcha”. it’s repeatedly triggering to be accused of pedophilia and joking about rape. it’d be one thing if these were true accusations- it’d be keeping me accountable. it’s not about accountability. it’s about lying, spreading misinformation, and triggering me over and over again because my trauma and feelings are rendered necessary damage in the war on aphobia. and i’m not even aphobic 😭 if y’all want your cause to be taken seriously i really hope you learn to sit down and read up a bit on intersectionality. that’s not what this post is about, though, and it isn’t my responsibility to educate you on why asexuality isn’t the same thing as being black or transfem (though it should really be obvious). i wish i could say “i’m sorry, you win, it won’t happen again” but this is genuinely the stupidest shit ever and i hope you go apologize to every rape survivor right now for dragging their experiences through the dirt for a gotcha on tumblr and to all lesbians ever for co-opting the concept of corrective rape. i’m sorry for making my post unclear but i am not sorry for making your annoying asses cry in your discord server. chris out

hii, i've never done this but could i request a genshin matchup??

i am 23, she/her pronouns and bisexual. taurus sun, cancer moon and aquarius rising. INFP 4w3 (the worst kind, i know lol). my height is 1,56cm and i have curly short dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.

i think my love language (receiving) is words of affirmation/physical touch and (giving) acts of service. i have social anxiety but at the same time sometimes when i'm around people i can't seem to shup up or stop oversharing, mostly if its people i already know. very self-critical and insecure, that's why i love compliments (especially on my appearence). i have a lot of mood swings and get angry/upset very easily. i don't know how to describe my sense of humour, i sometimes laugh at the most random (unfunny for some) things with my sister. i am very sarcastic and sometimes bitter? idk i apreciate people who don't take everything too seriously.

i love baking, singing, dancing (mostly kpop) and acting too (i am a musical theatre kid, sadly). i want to become a flight attendant and be able to help people feel comfortable and safe. i don't really have a particular fashion style, if i like it i wear it.

i really don't know what else to add... that's already a lot, sorry.

thank u very much in advance🤍

[astranne]

hello there! i hope you're having a good day, no matter what time of day it is when you read this. i saw your 'stars in the abyss' series and, and, i haven't actually played genshin for long. i only began exactly 11 days ago, in fact i've read fanfics of genshin months before actually playing, so i haven't actually completed the spiral abyss, stopping at chamber 3 because my only goal was to get xiangling. though i do hope i will get to complete it soon. reading your fics about it made me gush because reading about characters that i'm attached to interacting with each other just brings me so much domestic joy. my team at the moment is composed of kaeya (as main DPS because i'm spiteful of expectations and conventional ways), xiangling, diona, and kuki shinobu. i have an issue with being attached to things very hard, whether living or not, so regardless of what people will say about my team late game, i don't think i'll be changing them soon enough, not even to complete the abyss. thank you for all the things you've written, even if you don't write for my request, i hope you know that i come to your blog to feel a great sense of comfort and fluff. you just make me feel that these characters could be real in our world for a split second which is just magical, thank you. 🌼✨

hi there anon ☺️

first of all, thank you so much for this ask, it made me really happy reading this!! and i‘m having an okay day, since yeah, morning wasn’t that great :( going to the doctor never is. but we‘re actually driving rn to our holiday and i‘m so happy going to croatia again :D

receiving and reading this ask is such a big compliment, it‘s like… getting a gift or eating your favorite chocolate, it makes me so happy just reading this and woejekfb- i‘m so happy my writing gives you joy and makes you happy, and coming to my blog to read is just- it‘s just the biggest compliment and i thank you for writing me this <33

i wanted to answer this ask so it‘s not going to sit in my inbox too long. don’t worry, i will write your request and this gladly 💕 it‘s just going to take a rather long time, i have so many asks and actually need to write two series talk about being ambitious 😭 i hope that‘s alright :)

and i can totally understand how hard it is getting attached to things and how hard it is to let it go. razor has been my first character coming home and even if i have better characters, seen from the dps thing and how to build them, i just can’t. he has been my number one since day one, always first place in my team <3 all the others rotate, but not him..

i hope you stick around, i habe great plans for this blog hehe. maybe you‘re also into other fandoms? this is a multifandom blog after all 👀

thank you again for popping in my askbox, it made my okay day to a great one and just smile <33

#✨ star dust #ive been staring at this for more than a few seconds #i tell you that #its just- #like i said #its the biggest compliment to me and im so happy people are enjoying my writings #ive been writing since i was like 10 but this in german and i never showed my writing to anyone #and then i started this blog during covid under another username and i was … #not really into it?? like i knew my english wasnt the best and this took the enjoyment #but now #my english is better (or at least i hope so) and i have really fun writing my silly little things <33

[fatesealer505]

Super uncool serious post 😞‼️‼️

I don’t know how much I can say before risking being fakeclaimed or something,,, uh this is gonna get personal but realistically speaking I expect nothing and nobody out of this so read as you will if you got nothing to do. I will most likely forget about this is an hour or so anyway.

So what have I done whole I was gone..

Nothing. Absolutely, literally, down-to-my-core nothing. I don’t mean it too literally, but my days have been recurring enough for me to no longer remember that much about my days and how they are spent. I do remember who I am on most days though.

Uh. I don’t know if it’s pure laziness or if I’m currently suffering a big burnout. I haven’t really played anything or talked to anyone and ironically enough I’ve lost sleep as well. Of course (if I said this before I apologize) I’m still keeping up with GGST and now I’m back on Skullgirls.. somewhat. As for Genshin I had to stop playing because of my storage and disinterest, unfortunately. However, I still love the characters I got with all of my heart and believe they clutched when they could.

My social battery’s just gotten so low and it’s like everything annoys me (not y’all though, I think the people I last saw on here are all wonderful), as if I have nothing and don’t like having anything either. I’ve put a lot of thought on this and how it’s ended for me - as I am simply a teenager in the countryside who “knows nothing” and also a big “know-it-all” but that aside, I’ve decided I won’t be trying to improve very much at all as that only puts a bigger risk of a worst relapse than what I am in now. I’ve made peace and accepted my situation for what it is, and I know who’s at fault, including myself.

I will not risk therapy either since my purchases are supervised and I can’t drive yet, followed by living in a very.. right-wing retirement area. It isn’t my best option nor decision, but until my bs catches up with me or I somehow survive, it might as well be the safest. That being said, I can’t confirm nor deny anything, but if someone does read this, please do not slap labels on me or assume a disorder.

I have sunken from a straight-a’s kid to a “if i pass we good” teenager, which could very well be just because of my mental development but it’s working.. I think. I don’t know, educational success isn’t giving me anything considering the state of the country, and I honestly do not think it will. Some may call it upsetting or flame me for it, but that is one of the outcomes I’ve long since accepted.

Before someone reaches out, I’m not that much of a good person. It’s nothing personal, like I said before you all seem like lovely people - I’ve just been carved (and placed by myself) into a more nihilistic mindset. I’ve tried hard but to say I am now would be a lie because as mentioned - nothing’s happened.

So, what will you do mr fatesealer 505 ???

Well, I’m gonna have to grow up. This summer, I was planning on getting a permit since everyone has their license (we’re just sophomores calm down like..) and hopefully a tiny job to keep my hands busy. If I do, this means I get to leave school early. Hip hip hooray.

What does this mean for my uploads?

I’m not sure. I’m trying to relearn digital art the best I can and luckily it seems I haven’t lost my spark in its entirety just yet. Do not assume my life-altering failures will postpone my mediocre hobby.

Despite my utter lack of every fucking thing (bless those who have stayed with me) I would like to try socializing just a teeny bit more just online. Not real-world, there are creeps my age (thank you Texas, I could not ask for better..)

Unless someone spawns and wants to talk or have me expand on my totally untubular experience, you’re free to go ahead.

I will not be changing my avatar. The silly is love and life. And so are all of you for what you have given even if I have never spoken.

Thank you.

Senior Year Shenanigans

It's been a month since updated but this ain't gonna be a monthly update, just a compilation of remarkable things that is currently happening. Keep reading to read more~

Ever since the summer passed and school started, I've been busier than ever! I suddenly missed the chill and relaxed break that I've had this 2022, welp that would be the last unfortunately because in the corporate world, vacations doesn't exist... oh well at least I can earn stuff right?

Below would be the highlights of my life atm. It's not much but hope you enjoy reading!

That addicting FPS game!

I've never imagine that I'll be playing an FPS at this day and this age. I did play FPS games when I was a kid but I did lose my interest because of how I suck at PVP games. I remember I always lose to these guys that I play with and of course up until now I am a hardstuck Iron who enjoys spike rush and replication more than competitive.

I did start playing this game March of this year and I am just a casual player so It's not really a passion for improvement and I play whenever I want to. I did start with being a Viper main, just love her design and her kit then I did main Sage a little (well because she is very easy to use and her heals are very handy) BUT last month (if I remember correctly), I was able to unlock Killjoy and boy oh boy I've been using her non stop. Her kit is so fun to use and all of these creative lineups on every map is just fantastic! I am now a hardcore KJ main!

Fangirling again and again

ONEUS JUST HAD THEIR COMEBACK OMG OMG OMG!!! Okay, virtual fangirling aside. I've been listening to SEVENTEEN and SNSD and Aespa songs on repeat for the longest time and I've been enjoying their discography and latest release so far. For Aespa it's Girls and Illusion for me then I did a lil trip down to memory lane with their Savage album songs, which I did found some favorites such as ICONIC and Lucid Dream. For SNSD, I cannot stress enough how happy I am for these girl's comeback. It's been 4 whole years since the last Oh!GG comeback and now they came back as whole. SNSD is one of my favorite 2nd Gen GGs, they are part of my childhood. FOREVER 1 is such a great album and a no skip for me!

For the featured picture of this portion, ITS ONEUS COMEBACK, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? I honestly didn't hype this comeback so much because I became their fan last year, after they released Luna and months after they announced their Trickster (Bring it On) comeback and I did hype for it and I got disappointed, like honestly, because I believe that the Luna concept was top tier and after that they released a concept that I don't find interesting. It's my personal opinion obviously (please don't come after me) but now they are back SAME SCENT SOTY! I honestly love the beat, melody, the vocals and the visuals and even the choreography. This comeback deserves another win! Though I have to be vvv honest, I am not a fan of the repetitive eh eh eh and the mmmind mind mah mind part of the song, but other than that everything is perfect. What's missing is the win, the trophy, and the recognition yah.

The Stardew Valley Addiction

I have never expected to be this addicted to this game. I generally never was interested into farming games because I find them grindy plus I got traumatized (kinda) with Genshin, because that game is hella grindy. So I am still at Spring and Year 1 (as of writing) and still exploring lot of stuff. One thing that I want to do is create another game and repeat everything because I feel like I just wasted my time in that game plus the speed of the in game time is insane, increments every 10 mins. like thank you in real world it ain't like that. Anyway one goal I have is actually to marry one of the NPC called Sebastian and I did watch a guide on how to befriend him.. which is hard LOL plus I knew *spoiler* that he likes Abigail like I also like her! (design-wise hihi). Anyway I should probably be playing now instead of writing LOL.

Created my First Visual Novel Story!

Creative writing is something that I wanted to pursue but was too scared to do so. I am a fan of reading fiction books and also fan fiction on the internet (hello tumblr and ao3) and consumed a lot to be able to write a story for the visual novel. I am a game dev major and that I have an on going Thesis research which requires integrating a game to our study, and since we are doing a Visual Novel project, I volunteered to write for the team. It was sooooo hard, with the fact that I haven't written any fiction for the longest time. It was a challenge to be able to write something decent and connect the lines. The story though, is about the gender neutral protagonist (since players can select which gender they can play) who uncovers their past through a hypnotherapy. I did integrate some psychological stuff in the story and of course advice to all the future players (because why not).

Trying to hop on the Tumblr Writing (and Theme Making)

This one is connected to the previous section, I am deciding to maintain a writing blog (aside from this one) that focuses on a mix of fiction and non-fiction. I just love words and imagery so much that I need to release it through writing. English may not be my first language but I am aiming to improve on that plus I am planning on taking a creative writing courses online, because honestly I suck at descriptive writing.

Another thing is learning how to create tumblr themes! I am a ComSci major and I know how to code front-end but I've never once touched the tumblr documentation so I guess the time is now to do so.

I honestly should focus on studying but the things mentioned above are my escape and that everyone should have their own escape too because this what makes us sane in this fast-paced and busy world.

BTW, thank you for reading this entry, it's long (as always) but I hope you did enjoy and I might not be able to update for the longest time again but oh well, let's see.

A moment with you

summary: when the immortals are suddenly reminded of your mortality

pairings: xiao x gn!reader; zhongli x reader; venti x reader; scaramouche x reader

warnings: [angst ahead] overall: mentions of death; xiao´s part: mentions of death, life or death situation; zhongli: mentions of past loved ones; venti: nightmares, past traumatic experiences; scaramouche: death (not reader nor character); if i forgot anything please do tell me!!

a/n: this is my first time writing something that´s not mainly fluff, so i´m both very excited and even more nervous; if you like this fic, i recommend you go and thank @dustofthedailylife without whom i might not have had the confidence to post this ♡

genshin impact masterlist

XIAO

Never bothered to further explore the difference between his immortality and the humans´ mortality

Such sentimentalities only got in the way of his eternal duty

Xiao didn´t get too attached to the realm of mortals, their customs, habits or lifestyles

For many millennia he kept his distance and only spared a glimpse here or there

That was until you came along

You invited him into your mortal life and taught him how to cherish the smallest wonders Teyvat had to offer, no matter how fleeting they were

And that´s when the yaksha grew fully aware of how short-lived this moment of peace with you could be

Countless memories of how easily mortality could slip from between one´s fingers infiltrated his mind

If there was a way for you to become immortal yourself, he would be torn about bringing it up but would eventually talk to you about it; he won´t pressure you to accept and lectures you thoroughly on just what this decision would entail

The black smoke surrounding the yaksha was slowly dissolving, the horned mask evaporating and reappearing on his hip. His grip on his spear tightened as the remaining malice wrapped around his body and clouded his mind, karmic debt weighing him down, but only momentarily. With a last glance over the battlefield, he gracefully leapt off the edge of the cliff.

Xiao´s feet landed on the wooden planks of the inn´s balcony without so much as making a sound, his footsteps quieter than the wind rustling through the leaves. Sure, his day had again been filled with nothing but banishing evil spirits and fighting the malice building within him but luckily for him, he had recently found an effective remedy to cure his ailment.

Opening the door to your shared room the adeptus expected to find you already there, just like on most days. You hadn´t said anything about being out later either but Xiao wasn’t about to fret quite yet. While he placed your well-being over anything else, he also knew you could handle yourself, despite you being `a mere mortal´.

As time passed and the last sun rays cast an eery red glow over the world, however, Xiao grew more restless. Grumbling to himself, he made his way down to the reception, if someone knew when and where to you had left, it was that woman.

“(Y/n)? Hmm, no, I´m sorry but I know as much as you do, I´m afraid. I´ll notify you if I see them.”

“That will hardly be necessary,” he scoffed before taking off and jumping from the balcony. Maybe his ears betrayed him but he swore he could hear a faint “I wish he would stop doing that”.

Where were you? Xiao had clearly instructed you to call out his name if you were in danger and he trusted you´d do so. Currently, he really wished he could trade abilities with you though, wanting nothing more than to call out your name and have you appear right in front of him.

This feeling, he hated it. The way his chest tightened, his mind straying to the worst possible places. It was unlike him and that only made it worse. Just a couple of years ago, he couldn´t have cared less about a single mortal life, choosing to isolate himself from their world instead of learning their ways.

And then you wedged yourself in between the cracks of his hard shell and stirred something long forgotten deep within him. The planes of Liyue he had traversed plenty of times before somehow seemed more colourful when he was with you. Nature was bustling with life, his curiosity for butterflies, lizards and crystal flies reawakened tenfold when you pointed them out to him. His vision was more than just a weapon, a tool for inflicting pain, when you rested your head against his shoulder as you sat with your hands intertwined and listened to the evening breeze. He wasn´t ready to part with these feelings any time soon.

After minutes of aimlessly traversing Guili Planes, he forced himself to halt. Over the harsh beating of heart against his ribcage, he tried listing to the wind. Morax had always told him to focus on the elements around him when in search of something for the world had a way of communicating its joys and sorrows to us.

Xiao was about to give up and continue his manual search when he heard something. Or well, it was more a feeling. Distress, to be exact. At that, his attention broke and he took off in the direction the sensation seemed to be coming from, his footsteps faster than ever, feet barely touching the ground.

He only slowed down when he reached a small village on the outskirts of Liyue Harbor. Spear already in hand, he closely surveyed the area, ready to take out whatever monster was causing your anxiety but there was not one to be found. Actually, there was nobody to be found, the streets oddly empty and the windows of the houses dark and cold.

Just then, the yaksha heard agitated voices coming from the side of the mountain. Rushing over, he could already see the glow of lanterns from down the street. What was possibly the whole village was gathered around an old wooden construct mortals used to mine ores but this one seemed to be no longer in use. The rotten planks were dangling oddly in the air and the frayed ropes barely held them together.

In an effort to decipher what he was looking at, Xiao followed their wide-eyed gazes up the mountain and he almost dropped his polearm at the sight. At the very top, he could make out three figures, two tiny ones and… you. There was no doubt to be had, it was definitely you and the anguish he felt earlier returned. But this time, it was his rather than yours.

You were clutching the hand of a little boy, your palm clammy from both fear and exhaustion. In front of you, just out of arms reach, stood his sister with glassy eyes and trembling legs. Testing your foothold, you tentatively stepped forwards only for the wood to creak and bend under your soles. In time with his sister´s shriek, the boy´s hold on your hand tightened.

“It´s okay, it´s okay. Nothing happened,” you tried to soothe them, praying your voice didn´t give away how helpless you truly felt. “Okay, here´s what we´re going to do: Chang, do you see this part of the mountain above us? I´ll lift you up and you´ll climb out of here, understood?”

When the boy nodded, you folded your hands into a robber´s ladder and pushed Chang as far as your arms could reach, praying to the archons the boy could climb. The plank underneath your right foot gave out, splinters falling into the gasping crowd as your pants ripped all the way up to your thigh where the sharp edges lodged themselves into your flesh. The sniffling next to you grew louder as you cursed under your breath.

Pulling yourself back up, you reassured Ming that you were alright and stretched your hand towards her again. The gap between your side of the construct and hers wasn´t that big, normally you easily could´ve jumped the distance but you´d both fall to your certain death before you could even land. So, you only scooted closer, centimetre by centimetre, leaning closer to the edge.

Your fingertips finally touched and you clasped your hands together. Scanning your surroundings for a safer route, you came up empty-handed. Breathing in deeply one more time, you mustered all your courage and gave the girl a hopefully reassuring smile before pulling her to you with all the strength left in your tired arms.

And then you were weightless. It was as if time had slowed down as you looked up towards the top of the mountains slipping farther and farther out of reach. Clutching the little girl tightly to your chest, you opened your mouth to call out to the only person able to help you now but nothing came out. Your throat was sealed with fear. You screwed your eyes shut and braced yourself for the impact, hoping at least Ming would-

The impact came but it was softer than expected. Shakily exhaling, you vaguely registered someone calling your name. Loosening your arms from the small body in your grasp, you let yourself be pulled into a familiar embrace that felt just a little tighter than usual. Strong hands were stroking up and down your arms, your back, your cheeks—everywhere they could reach.

“I- I saw you fall and- I thought I was too late.”

For the first time since you had met Xiao, his amber eyes were glassy and you saw your own fear reflected in them. Throwing yourself against him, you started to cry harder than you ever had before as he cradled your head closer to his chest. Over your own sobs you couldn’t hear those of the worried parents, relieved they could hold their children in their arms again.

“I was so scared, Xiao. I thought I was going to-,” you whimpered. “Without you, I´d be- I´d be-“

“Shh, no more. Let´s go home.”

A mere blink later, you were nestled into the blankets of your bed at Wangshuu Inn, your position unchanged except for the fact you had wrapped your arms around his waist in return. None of you spoke a word as you calmed down, both still trying to process what just transpired.

As he stared into the dark of the night outside the window, Xiao´s thoughts wandered. It was incomprehensible. Why put yourself in such danger when your own life was so fragile? Why risk everything for someone else? Someone you didn’t t even know?

Although he tried to push them away, the memories of you falling to your death were haunting his every thought and holding his mind in a vice grip much worse than his karmic debt. Scenes of him standing over your broken body, too late to catch you, choked his breathing. Burying his head in the crook of your neck, he concentrated on your pulse, the continued rise and fall of your chest.

“Please, don´t go where I can´t follow.”

ZHONGLI

The former archon was very well aware of your differences, as a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor he was confronted with a human´s mortality on the daily

He had watched over Liyue long enough to see younger generations replacing the older and eras blend into one another, consequently changing the Land of Contracts in their constant cycle of rebirth

And he had been alive for even longer, forming new relationships and having to sever just as many

Zhongli knew from the beginning he could not enjoy your company for eternity and the day of parting would come sooner or later, preferably later rather than sooner

That doesn´t mean he´d not be worried, the notion of your mortality still weighed heavy on his heart and mind, some days more than others

But he tries to make the best of it and cherishes every moment with you to its fullest

There´s no use lamenting a flower´s inevitable wilting before it even had the chance to bloom

 If there was a way for you to become immortal yourself, he would not bring it up to you; humans have a very different outlook on life compared to immortal beings like himself, he´d be scared you´d lose a part of yourself if your lifespan went from barely a century to endless

 He will consider it if you´re the one who brings it up and are well aware of what you´re getting yourself into

It was a beautiful day in Liyue Harbor, sun casting its golden glow over the city. Next to the window of his humble home sat Zhongli, attention focused on the journal on his desk. The former archon was deep in thought, absentmindedly twirling his brush between his fingers, the inkwell opened but yet to be touched.

He had already spent a considerable amount of time on finding the right words to convey his emotions but none of the phrases in his head seemed to do the memories justice. The subject of his written memento was an outing he had together with you the day before, a date as the people today would call it. Therefore, only the most eloquent and sophisticated of sentences would do.

It had been quite some time since Zhongli had picked up journaling as a hobby and it had become somewhat of a second nature by now, an essential part of his routine. But it served not only as a creative outlet opposed to the more formal nature of his work at the Funeral Parlor. No, his journals were a second memory for him, an extension of his mind so to speak, which was less prone to slipping from his grasp when he reached for it.

What started this passion was actually a rather sombre occurrence, a realisation he never thought he´d come to. A couple of centuries ago, Zhongli had visited the resting place of a trusted companion for melancholy´s sake and was shocked to find his mind void of clear memories, their voice muted and appearance foggy. In fact, he had trouble recalling some of their fondest moments together, although he promised to treasure them for eternity.

So, in order to keep future promises, he started writing everything down. Especially if it related to the people he cared for, the people he loved; people like you. Be it a common afternoon of sharing stories over a cup of tea or a night spent together under the lights of the Xiao Lanterns during the Lantern Rite. He was determined to commit every part of you to his memory.

As he contemplated his phrasing further, he let his gaze sweep across his room. Wherever his eyes landed, there was a trace of you to be found. The jacket you left hanging over his chair, the matching charms you two bought during a walk in the city, the flowers you gifted him that he preserved by drying them, the teacup you got him to replace the one you´d broken. Zhongli smiled as he recalled how flustered you were and how stubbornly you insisted on presenting him with a new one, one that was far more beautiful and valuable in his eyes.

Wallowing in memories, he flipped through previous entries in his journal. As he read, it was like going back in time and he couldn´t suppress the little chuckle as he visibly recalled you chewing out Childe nor could he stop his fingers from tracing over a note you had written, two little hearts doodled in the corner.

With a sigh he closed the little book, he could tell this was not going anywhere. While thinking back on these moments with you made him feel warm and cosy, it also brought the bittersweet taste of yet to be sorrow.

Sometimes he wished he was mortal like you. He longed to see the world the way you did, longed to grow old with you and longed to not fear the day of parting. But he couldn´t afford to think like this, it was not how the world worked. No matter how much he desired it, he knew you wouldn´t be joined forever, your paths would inevitably stray away from each other. And he could do nothing to change this dreaded future.

He used to be the oldest of the archons, he formed the earth with his bare hands and shaped a city that had long since grown prosperous under his care, yet he was powerless in a situation where he needed it most. It was the universe´s most cruel mockery and he could do nothing against it. One day, these tokens and these notes and these memories would be the only thing marking your temporary presence in this world.

There was a knock on the door. Smiling to himself, he called out for you to let yourself in. As always, your timing was impeccable. Zhongli met you halfway between the front door and his room, his hand reaching out for yours to brush a featherlight kiss onto your knuckles. If only he could preserve your adorable giggle like the flowers in his room, the sound alone was enough to leave him wondering why his spirit was clouded in the first place.

As he listened to you talking about a renowned opera troupe coming to perform in Liyue Harbour soon, his immortality was the furthest thing from his mind. Instead, all he could focus on was your excited expression and your hand in his.

VENTI

He´d rather not think about your mortality

Venti knows it should be addressed, at least for him personally but he avoids the topic as best as he can

After what happened to his friend, it´s hard to ignore your eventual fate

It makes him turn to the tavern more often than he´d like to admit

But he never shares his concerns with you or anyone really, even though there are a handful of people who know his real identity and some of whom are immortal themselves

You and him being separated was not eventuality but certainty, so he wants to use every opportunity to make memories he could look back on fondly

The bard has written countless songs with you as his muse, on a quest to immortalise you in the melodies of his lyre

If there was a way for you to become immortal yourself, Venti would discuss it with you and although he knows better than anyone you´re free to make your own choice, he´d love nothing more than to keep you with him as long as time would allow it

The moon was shining high in the sky, the streets of Mondstadt were empty and silent, yet rest didn´t come easy to its archon that night. Tossing and turning under the covers, drifting in and out of sleep, Venti almost gave up on the idea of getting any shut-eye in the coming hours.

He wasn´t quite sure what caused this but sometimes his thoughts just seemed to move a mile a minute. In his many years of existence, he was bound to have sleepless nights, that much he knew, yet, Venti still couldn´t pinpoint what prompted his restlessness.

His day had actually been quite pleasant, spending it under the old tree at Windrise together with you, strumming his lyre to whatever melody the breeze brought to him. Venti was quite sure he could never grow tired of the expression you wore when you listened to his music and his heart soared when you asked him to teach you how to play, gently guiding your fingers over the strings with his own.

So, naturally, he was puzzled as to why he was lying awake, staring at the ceiling without a hint of sound sleep in sight. Every now and then, he did manage to drift off only to be awakened by a nightmarish image of your hands, covered in red stains. No, that was only residue from the fruits you ate during your picnic. Then he woke up to the sickening crack of a branch giving out underneath you and your shocked scream as your hand couldn´t reach his. But you only lost your balance, you didn´t actually fall, you were okay.

In fact, you were right next to him. Safe and sound, chest rising slowly and evenly, your mind far away from his dark thoughts. Without meaning to, Venti asked himself how much longer he´d be able to look over and see your peaceful expression and hear your soft breaths. Careful not to wake you, he reached out to you…

Your skin was ice cold. The archon physically recoiled from where he had touched your arm and his heart plummeted. The lack of warmth brought back one of the first and most gruesome experiences he had in this form. As much as he tried not to, he recalled it so very clearly; how cold his skin felt, how heavy he felt in his arms, those slow and shallow breaths, the red stains on his hands…

Venti´s sobs must have roused you from your sleep, your groggy voice calling out to him, your icy fingers against his shoulder as he tried his best not to flinch away from your touch. Sitting up, you opened your arms for him to sink into and he gladly did, hiding his face in the crook of your neck. Your hands slowly warmed up as you ran them up and down his back in soothing patterns.

“You´re okay,” you whispered. “It´s not real. You´re safe here with me, I got you.”

He wanted nothing more than to believe you. To believe that it wasn´t real, that it was just his mind playing tricks on him but how could he, when he knew what was bound to happen; when he knew that one day, you wouldn´t be here to comfort him; when one day, imagination might turn into reality, into memory.

But for now, he thought, it would be okay to hold you a little tighter, to press his lips to the spot where he could feel your pulse the strongest, to relax in your hold as you hummed a melody he´d heard before. He´d tell you eventually. Maybe not tomorrow or next week, but he would.

Eventually.

SCARAMOUCHE

Your mortality? Yeah, he´s not a fan

I´ve said it before and I´ll say it again: Scara tends to be possessive with what he considers `his´ and he´d be damned if anyone so much as tries to take it (or in this case, you) away from him

Be it a lousy soldier, a disease or even the concept of mortality, he will not relent

Out of everyone on this list, I´d imagine him to be the most likely to actively search out ways to keep you tethered to this world

The end justifies the means and he utilises every resource at his disposal, having his agents look for clues, scanning materials on the matter while on a mission or bribing those who may know something

He might tell you he´s only doing it because this mortality makes you weak and that that´s not a quality the partner of a Harbinger should show but regardless of if he wants to acknowledge it or not, he´s not only worried for you due to the nature of his job and the enemies he´s made, Scara simply doesn´t want to lose you

He doesn´t trust others and others don´t trust him but you still accepted him and could look past his harsh words, something he had scoffed at in the beginning

Over time though, you grew on him and he decided to take a leap into for him uncharted territory and now that he was here, it would be hard to get rid of him again (not that you minded)

If there was a way for you to become immortal yourself, Scaramouch would undoubtedly convince or persuade you to grasp this chance, whether it´s for his sake or yours is unclear though

Scaramouche was leaning against a pillar in the corner, staring down the opposite side of the funeral hall with narrowed eyes. Honestly, the Harbinger couldn´t care less about the guy in the coffin or all these people crying or sniffling into their handkerchiefs.

What he did care about was you being one of these people, dressed in all black, eyes bloodshot from days of mourning. In all the time he´d known you, you had never been so shaken by anything before but after your cousin´s death, Scaramouche basically had to force you to eat, shower or sleep. The vacant look in your eyes made frustration against your late relative flare up for meeting such an untimely end and hurting you in the process.

He watched as you made your way up to the stand on wobbly legs, shoulders shaking as you reassured your aunt that you were fine. Your fingers trembled as you unfolded the eulogy he watched you write and rewrite at least a hundred times as you took a shaky breath.

Scaramouche let his gaze wander around the hall decorated in muted colours and flowers as he listened to you recounting old stories of the trouble your cousin and you would get yourself into when you were still kids. He was already familiar with all of them, you had explained that the two of you used to be very close up until he had gotten into that accident.

Somehow, his attention always came back to the framed picture of your relative and the resemblance he shared with you was so unmistakable it sent a chill down his spine. You´d shown him old family pictures before but as you stood up there, next to that coffin, next to that picture, your similar features seemed to stand out even more strikingly than before. Your cousin even was the same age as you, still young with all his life ahead of him. But death didn´t differentiate between early and late. There was no guarantee as to when your time would come.

Your voice broke off into a heart-wrenching sob, the paper balled up in your fists as if it was a lifeline. Despite the tears flowing freely down your cheeks, you finished your eulogy before being guided off stage by your aunt and into the embrace of your family.

As the memorial came to an end, the guests gathered outside for the burial of the coffin. You left your family´s side and slowly made your way over to him. As you looked up at him with glassy eyes, he couldn´t help but reach out and wipe away some of the tears falling from your lashes. At that, you only seemed to cry harder before hiding your face in his chest.

“Thank you… for coming.” Your voice was hoarse and barely above a murmur but Scaramouche heard you clearly. “I know you don´t normally care about this kind of stuff…”

He scoffed. “Of course, I´m here. Somebody has to make sure you´re getting through this.” In another uncharacteristic gesture, his voice softened. “How are you holding up?”

“I´m fine, really. It´s just…it all feels so real now. Before I didn´t…it didn´t hit me that he´s really gone now, that I´ll never see him again. But it all feels so final now.”

He could only hum in agreement, never having grieved over the loss of someone like this before. He stood back as you and your family all took turns adding to the pile of soil covering the wooden casket. Even then he merely watched as you mourned with your relatives a little longer.

Eternity stretched things out over a long time but each moment within it became all the more fragile. He remembered saying something like this once. And as he looked onto the scene unfolding before him, he guessed he was right about it, too.

Scaramouche had made his decision. He´d never have to look at your picture in that frame next to the casket, he´d make sure of that. This moment with you, he´d stretch it out as far as he could, the couple of decades he´d have with you just wouldn´t be enough.

Even if you despised an immortal life, despised him, you´d have forever to change your mind.
