i’m a little crybaby bitch & i just sobbed over a movie but all i could think about is being abby’s little crybaby gf & having her comfort me </3
sooo unfortunately/fortunately i am not a big crier when it comes to anything but one of my best friends is a happy/sad/bored crier and i’ve helped her calm down post cry a few times. she’s a true cancer <3 i’ll channel her into my thoughts.
im thinking of two scenarios, watching something sad without abby & watching it with her ⤵️
watching without abby:
she’d probably be working on something in another room when you decide to start a sad fucking movie. abby’s ears perk at the first sniffle, but she brushes it off cause it’s always allergy season. but when she hears you shakily breathe out “oh,,, my gOD” with your voice all broken and wet, she’s immediately sliding to a stop right outside the living room. you’re curled up with a huge blanket swallowing you, surrounded by snacks and your emotional support water bottle. she notes your wide, glossy eyes and coos “baby what’s wrong?” and you gesture at the tv, “she - she just loves her family so so much! and she couldn’t tell them before they died!” your voice is cracking around your words.
abby has absolutely no idea who “she” is but that doesn’t keep her from sitting down and pulling you into her side, rubbing her hand up and down your arm. “they’re just a - a great family” you stutter though tears. abby looks up at the tv and sighs. “baby, why did you chose the saddest movie on netflix?” you hesitate. “uh, i was up to the challenge?” “yeah? how’s it going?” she quirks a brow at you. you laugh wetly and abby mentally fist pumps. she presses a kiss to your temple. “okay, how about we watch something happy. ill refill your water.” abby gets up to go into the kitchen when she’s stopped by a tug on her back belt loop. you’re looking up at her, eyes less glossy but still not dry enough. “what?” she asks. “thanks for putting up with a crybaby for a girlfriend.” she picks up your hand from its place at her waist and brings it up to her lips. “anything for you sweet cheeks”
watching with abby:
“no, no, no, nah, not happening! abby, please tell me they’re not gonna do what i think they’re gonna do!” you pause the movie and shake abby’s shoulder, your face so serious in the light of the television. abby giggles and shrugs like a fucking twerp and nudges you to keep watching the movie. she tells you that “you’ll find out soon - keep watching” like she’s never, in all the time you’ve been together, been witness to the millions of times you deep dived imdb and wikipedia five minutes into a movie whenever it starts out with a sad scene.
you don’t do sad movies. and it’s for a good reason! you get all dehydrated and you look sick for hours afterwards!! it’s embarrassing and gross!! abby has witnessed it once and, like her father’s daughter, handed you a glass of water and pulled you gently into her arms, holding you until you got your breathing under control. and that was a week before you asked her out!! on your first date she told you that the crying thing made her want to “take care of you forever”… is it too obvious to point out that she soooooo got lucky that night?
however, in present time she might be sleeping on the couch for trying to get a depressing movie past you. she apologizes to you, tucking you under her arm. “i promise it’s gonna be worth your tears, okay?” she kisses your head. “and i always take care of my crybaby girlfriend, don’t i?” she kisses the same spot again. you relax into her side.
… sooo it’s safe to say you sobbed a whole lot at the end and completely soaked the front of abby’s shirt. you guys had shifted horizontal mid-movie, you laying on top of her. “i hate you” sounds a lot more honest when you’re not desperately clutching at the waist of the person you’re talking to. “but it was a good story, right?? aww i’m sooo sorry, baby,” abby rubs your back. she hands you your water bottle and chocolate before you even think to ask, like she always does. then, you begin the embarrassingly to you cute to abby process that involves sips of water, bites of chocolate, and your head following the rhythm of abby’s chest up and down as you match her breaths.
<\3
no but really we all know abby will always comfort you even if she has no context to what you’re crying about! ride or die babyyyy

Having one of those days where you can feel the dozen invisible hands behind you, keeping you upright and on your feet, and I just have to sing some praises for our admin staff semi-publicly.
We've had a fairly important VIP speaker trying to get on the schedule to meet the students. After a ton of back and forth with the venue, flight arrangements, catering order - basically everything going wrong that could - we finally land on today lunch, with the main student body in the 2nd floor classroom and any overflow in the 3rd floor classroom via Zoom.
I've already had to offload a lot of duties that would normally be mine, including a building tour, because I had practicals this morning that absolutely could not be moved. The whole time I was grading, though, I was thinking about how I needed to race out after the practical, set up the Zoom on 2, run up to the 3rd floor, start that Zoom there and join my own meeting, check the sound because it constantly picks the wrong devices, race back down, check the food order, find the battery for the lapel mic because the Monday AM lecturer always runs it dead and never puts in a new one, make sure there's a basket for the raffle tickets, and then somewhere in there actually meet this speaker I'm supposed to be introducing and apologize for the scheduling confusion and thank his organization for their support of our program.
My student's practical ends at 11:53. I have seven minutes to set this all up, so I race across the hall to find:
It's all been done. He's already in the classroom with his notes and the lapel mic, set up on Zoom with his slides ready to go. The third floor classroom is already in the Zoom call, video running with the sound tested and everything. The raffle tickets are in a basket and are being handed out as I approach. As I walk up I get an email from our alum director with the speaker's bio I'll be using to introduce him. He's got a water bottle and he's schmoozing with the students & faculty and literally all I have to do is walk in, read his bio, and sit down. They even have a lunch set aside for me.
It was just...incredible. Not only did they help me without a word of complaint, they anticipated every need and solved it before I even had to ask. I had been dreading that ten minute timespan for over a week, and I walked in to find every possible problem had already been discussed and completely addressed. It was so wonderful I very nearly started crying.
They're not direct reports to me, so I can't influence their annual reviews or anything, but I'll be writing thank-you notes to each of them and will send an email to their manager. Good admin support can be so hard to find, and this was another reminder of how preciously golden our current team is.

And what if, say, he doesn't deem giving in as something you deserve? I wonder if he has the same restraint when it comes to recognising when you've been bad rather than just persistent. Perhaps I just like the thought of Onyankopon teaching me what for and really dragging the experience out. Perhaps even making himself cum - twice - before allowing you your release using only his tonue.
ST.
content: smut
Oh, yeah Onyankopon isn’t one for giving into you for lower-than-average behaviour. Not a reward system of such but he hasn’t got much tolerance pestilence.
In that case, yeah. His restraint is definitely then a selfish act of ‘I want to get off, regardless of whether you deserve it or not’. 100%, Onyankopon would make sure he gets what he wants from you. Even if it means denying your request for several days. It may be impoverishing him too but he hates commending inadequate behaviour more than not gaining out a release. And then when he does decide to give in, it will be at his expense.
Regardless, you will be enjoying the experience. Onyankopon knows you inside out, what gets you off and what turns you on — even whilst being selfish, Onyankopon knows how to serve you. The only difference here though is that he won’t give in to what you fancy.
So sure, you want to be fucked senseless (action) that you can’t so much as remember your name (result). But Onyankopon will choose to change the action but land with the same result.
Now we’re back where we started; Onyankopon fucking you painfully slow with one hand hooked underneath your thigh and the other in your hair. He’ll commend you, despite your pleas. He’ll press up against you despite your small signs for him to back up. He’ll take an anchoring within your hair despite your detest for the action. Onyankopon knows how to piss you off — make you enter a session thinking you’re in charge when really he’s got all the reign — but he would never neglect to please you.
Once he’s gotten his multiple releases, then he'll make sure he takes his slow merry time with eating you out. Indulging in the very essence of your fruit, spend all day in it and bring you to three orgasms by his wet tongue alone.
In the end, you didn’t get what you wanted.
You’ll even most probably dotingly bitch about it to him later, in which the man can then only give you bashful yet starstruck eyes, accompanied with a ‘Sorry baby. Maybe if you behave next time.’
But there’s not actually much you can complain about. Even if you didn’t get the exact action you wanted, you still got your desired result.
To Onyankopon, no one’s lost.

Since you were talking about your thoughts on Zhongli and Azhdaha, how about your thoughts on Zhongli and Guizhong? (Please never stop yapping about Zhongli)
For Zhongli and Guizhong I always kind of imagined them as platonic soulmates. I felt like they were people who complemented each other in every way.
First they have matching hairpins! Then Guizhong has a bubbly, lively and sunny disposition while Zhongli is calm and mellow. However, Guizhong has a cold color scheme, with stars in her sleeves, grays, whites, and deep blue while Zhongli is the opposite with browns, black and gold in his outfits. Guizhong is the moon to Zhongli's sun and their personalities are inverses (you can tell i love sun moon symbolism).
Guizhong is short with billowing sleeves, Zhongli is tall with a slim sleek gown, Guizhong was an inventor the "brains" of the operation while Zhongli was the fighter, and the "brawns" of the team. Guizhong is the one getting into fights while Zhongli has to break them up. Guizhong is always smiling with lots of emotion while Zhongli is straight-faced and impassive.
Considering that it is apparently rare for two distinct gods to have the same dominion I imagine the two of them complemented each other very nicely despite their differences.
Fun fact, in Yujing Terrace you can see glaze lilies and silk flowers. Glaze lily obviously are for Guizhong but silk flowers are used to represented Rex Lapis, so I thought it was kind of cute that you can find these two flowers in the middle of Liyue Harbor.
I envisioned that Zhongli was a lot more stoic and contract-focused when they met, he had very much closed his heart off to others. I don't think it was a full on "beauty and the beast" dynamic but she opened his heart up a not necessarily to care about humanity (because i am positive morax already did) but to make him understand humans on a fundamental level as well as chip away at that stone mask he was always wearing. I believe Guizhong was someone who could share his physical and emotional burden of protecting and ruling a nation of people.
That said it kind of frustrates me when people act like Zhongli and Guizhong didn't care about each other. Like maybe not on this platform but on twitter especially when it comes to shipping, people are like "zhongli and guizhong were just acquaintances" that doesn't make any sense she gave him puzzle with all of her knowledge and wisdom and told him to have at it.
Plus like I mentioned earlier, according to Soraya (the scholar at Wangshu Inn) it was super uncommon for deities to rule together, plus it is very obvious that Morax was stronger than Guizhong so he easily could've bested her so why on earth would they work together if they weren't friends. Then like Guoba (who could forget Guoba) the god of the stove was also there too and Zhongli is like 'that's my old friend' like if Zhongli was close with Marchosius why wouldn't he be close with Guizhong.
Then it is heavily implied that Guizhong died in his arms and he heard her final words before sealing her away like they were definitely close. Zhongli clearly doesn't like talking about his past unless forced. Or the fact that Zhongli repaired the Guizhong Ballista perfectly, he knows exactly what glaze lily bloomed on your birthday or that they love sweet songs. Not to mention Zhongli's burst meteor is the exact same as Memory of Dust. Or what about Cloud Retainer's abode where there are three seats for "Cloud Retainer, Guizhong and Rex".
Fun fact, Shenhe has a voiceline for Zhongli. "Master once said: "If you see him drinking on a stone stool in front of my abode, do not disturb him. Let him sit quietly for a while." And that's precisely what I did." So it's a little sad but sweet that Zhongli will return that table and just sit with his thoughts, but regardless it definetly means he cherishes the memories of the three of them together.
Back to the point why on earth wouldn't they care about each other there is a whole region named after their messed up names "GuiLi" like what are we doing!
It is mentioned somewhere in the archaic petra lore (i think the feather) that Morax wore a stone mask during the archon war. To protect the people of the Liyue he did not allow himself to show emotion but when the dust settled her was finally able to put the mask down. The way I interpreted this passage was after Guizhong died the entire nation was at war, like Morax took all of their people, left Guili plains, moved south, founded Liyue, and then fought till the war ended. Even the other adepti imply there was no time to grieve for her because the war was that brutal. It is only when the war ended, that Morax was not only able to put done that mask but also able to grieve his friend properly.
There are many theories around Guizhong like whether Jade Cutter was meant as a gift her, or whether she had connections to Celestia but my favorite Guizhong/Zhongli theory has to be that Morax killed her. LIKE LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN
First, Morax was the only person who was there when she died he heard her final words after all. Next, Soraya says that it would've been incredibly difficult to take down a nation governed by two gods, like what god would've been able to kill Guizhong with Morax and the rest of the adepti right beside her? Then, none of the adepti really know what happened that day, Ping and Cloud Retainer imply that when they got there it was already too late, Rex Lapis had likely turned her to stone while the Yakshas sealed her away.
Soooo maybe I am just giddy for angst but imagine Guizhong getting corrupted or eroding away and Morax had to kill her to protect their people.
The story has shown many times that Zhongli would do anything for the people of Liyue even turn his back on the people he loved. It would not be out of character for him to kill her should she ever pose a threat. Then remember Memory of Dust (MoD), the puzzle containing all of Gui's knowledge? Her last words to him were along the lines of "forget about that old stone dumbbell would you". This obviously could be her telling him to move on, forget her, and continue protecting their people.
OR it could also mean that the knowledge within the dumbbell was corrupted or damaged somehow. Because there are quite a few theories about how the lady of dust perished, it could've been a foreign god it could've been Celestia but if Guizhong had forbidden knowledge, not only would killing her prevent the knowledge from spreading and essentially destroying their entire civilization but by telling Morax to forget about MoD she could protect him from getting corrupted as well.
So like long story short, my favorite theory is that Zhongli had to kill Guizhong to protect their people whether by corruption or maybe even erosion which is why the full truth of her death is a mystery. It could explain how a nation ruled by two gods fell, and maybe even suggest a reason why he is not so keen to talk about her and why he was never able to open MoD.
Then again MoD could be locked for a number of reason, like Zhongli wants to move forward with his life and unlocking MoD would be like getting stuck in the past or he was truly unable to open it as he may never match her intellect. I imagine that when Guizhong died Morax had to assume her roles and began to embody her in many ways but there are still things she was still better than him at even to this day.
Not to mention that it was said that Guizhong died in a fierce battle "black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered" so given the usage of rocks, Morax was undoubtedly involved so maybe it was a battle in which Morax and Guizhong were isolated from the rest of the assembly and he could not protect her from whatever killed her. Not matter what happened I still get angst!
I think the issue with the genshin fandom is that they don't value balance. Its either that Guizhong was everything to Zhongli and Liyue was nothing without her or she was nothing to him and only for Ping which are two crazy extremes like omg calm down. Zhongli was not heartless before meeting her but she was also very important to him and affected him. Like come on y'all READ!!!
Nevertheless I think Zhongli and Guizhong were perfect complements, whether romantic or platonic. I think together they covered each others weaknesses yet still managed to bring the best out of each other.
I really wish I could get to see them interact or just a flashback or a memory will do I promise!

Long Post Alert I sit as a proud reader of Things Fall Apart. So before I begin my story. Judge if you must and say to yourself ‘you better than me because ain’t no way’! And if you are I love that for you. I am married to a man like Mercy that is older than me. It was a whirlwind romance. The kind that reminds you of a romcom or your favorite r&b songs. Days turn into weeks, and you find yourself head over heels in love with a man who you believes feels the same for you.  He comes with baggage but nothing you can’t handle or at least you tell yourself that at first. Times goes on your relationship becomes a light switch it’s on/off when he says so. Don’t dare try and date anyone else because it’s was like he could sense my happiness and pop up out of the blue. Where he has and what he has been doing in the time apart doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is he missed me in this moment. So I would give in and for a while things are good, the light is back on and it is shining brighter each. Which would make when he cut it off hurt that much more. So I do it again move on. (Get engaged even)! As luck would have it he misses me, but I am engaged and happy please leave me alone. He smiles that smile you know you miss me and one last time won’t hurt and who’s gonna know unless you tell them? So someone would tell the growing baby in my belly. So now he’s overjoyed no more fiancé and I am having his baby just like we had talked about in the past. So I marry my Jackson and for a while things are good. Until they weren’t. I learned of my husband’s transgressions on the night that I was using his phone to call the ambulance because he was having a heart attack!! Imagine how I felt in that moment. Our kids need their father and I didn’t want my life as I know it to change. Oh but I’d be lying if I said I thought about not calling for help. At this point we in a valley but I am always waiting for the next peak. And he has always called me ‘My love’ or Kid. So whatever Mercy did maybe she shouldn’t have done it, but some can understand why she did it. #hehaditcoming
Tumblr media
First of all, I love you. Secondly, my eyes just got so big reading this. Third, WE GOTTA TELL OUR STORIES! So I hope you writing this ask and this god-forsaken chapter can somehow bring a little bit of light your way. While I do hope he trips and falls up the stairs tomorrow, I hope even more that you are able to do what's best for you and your child(ren) when you feel the time is ripe for you to do that. You never, EVER have to live within an unhappy valley. Life is so short friend, I want you to get your pixie cut too boo.
