Not the new event just casually throwing fic ideas at me-

Over all this event is just combining so many of my recent favourite characters, I might just actually have to write something for it

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

being sick and on your period at the same time is hell (cough cough Lumine fic potential)

being unable to tell which parts of the misery are period symptoms or illness symptoms sucks ass and I feel like that would be an interesting concept for sickfics

maybe she thinks it’s just a bad month but then it gets REALLY bad and she’s like “alright, this isn’t just my period…” and it’s especially sucky because of the PMS too and Lyney is just there trying his best T-T

This is actually brilliant. I can't say if I will write this, because I've never been keen on writing periods (as somebody with severe periods due to medical reasons, I live them too frequently to find them appealing in fics).

I have been craving a good Lumine sickfic though (have I mentioned my one and only Lumine sickfic happens to be one of my favourite fics I've ever written? I reread it frequently) so this is really nice to chew on. Maybe the nudge I needed for a Lumine fic, even if it likely won't include a period! (Hmm then again you're not the first person to suggest sick Lumine on her period so maybe...?)

I also just adore caretaker Lyney. Overprotective, doting, a little squeamish, and trying his best!!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

I have the urge to write a sick character dealing with a somebody mean- okay that sounds strange but hear me out.

Sometimes the little author demon inside me starts craving angst and I love the idea of one of the characters I typically write being stuck with somebody they don't get along with/somebody just plain mean, when they're sick. NOT their partner, let me clarify that.

Like. Remember that one Tighnari sickfic I wrote, where he throws up in a parking lot, and a nearby group of students starts laughing at him? That's the vibe I'm looking for, but I don't just want a faceless mean background character, I want to actually write them interacting.

I think one of the main reasons I've never written this is, because I mainly write Genshin fanfictions, that would mean writing an existing character in a bad light. But man, if I did start going this route, it would open the door for a whole new world of sickfics.

I think I'd either find a way to incorporate canon villainous characters (though this is hard, because like. Am I going to write Dottore wandering the isles of a grocery store? Please no) or I'd just make up characters for these roles. Typically I hate using OCs/making up characters to insert into a fandom fic, but this might be a scenario that calls for it.

Let me know what you guys think, let's brainrot!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

It's finally here! I feel really out of my element and rusty posting again- I hope you guys enjoy!

What started as a regular Friday morning takes a turn when Kinich finds himself sick. Ajaw is an unexpected comfort

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

The Kinich sickfic is DONE!

It's not much, about an average length one shot, despite how long it took me to finish. But I'm still really happy to have actually written something!

As always I'm just going to let it sit a tiny bit before I get started on editing. But hopefully I can still get it out within this week. I'll certainly try my best!

Big thank you to everybody who's still here and still reading my writing, even through the long drought of fics ❤️

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

This was an absolute masterpiece omg! This is the type of fic I can see myself reading and rereading so many times over

Characters: Alhaitham, Cyno, Kaveh

Warnings: emeto, possibly ooc

Fandom: Genshin impact

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

not me quite literally reading ‘Fresh Out The Oven’ while mindlessly eating cookie dough and ending up in the same predicament as Cyno…

I am truely, very very stupid

Oh no! 🤣 You chose full immersion!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

please make kinich one of ur sickfic victims 🙏 it will be an actual dream come true

Already on it, Anon! I'm actually in the middle of writing a Kinich sickfic! (I haven't worked on it in a few days, but quite a bit of it is already written)

Since I don't know when I'll have anything to post, I'll leave you with a small snippet!

The shrill ringing of his cellphone jolted Kinich from a dead sleep. Groggy and disoriented, he groaned and pulled his pillow over his head. Who was calling him at such an ungodly time? And why were they calling? Kinich hated phone calls, he insisted on communicating through text messages unless there was an emergency.

His ringtone seemed to be burrowing into his brain through his eardrums, so Kinich reluctantly reached out and felt along the bedside table until his hands closed around the vibrating phone. He lifted it up and squinted at the name on the screen with bleary eyes.

Mualani.

His best friend and neighbour. Why would she be calling him? Was it an emergency?

A tad more awake, Kinich sat up in bed and answered the phone. “Hello?” His voice came out in a hoarse croak, and he awkwardly had to clear his throat.

“Hey!” Mualani’s cheerful voice made his head throb, and Kinich had to pull the phone away from his ear. Her tone suggested it was not an emergency. “What's up, you're not answering any of my texts?”

Texts? Kinich lowered the phone to check his notifications, raising his eyebrows. Oh, those were a lot of unread texts. No wonder she called him.

update from the concert:

super fun but I def had some hiccups like eating too close to getting on stage and feeling very nauseous while dancing

the smell of sweaty teenagers and costumes that have been worn fifty times this week was definitely enough to make me nauseous lol but that’s kinda something you have to get used to in theatre :/

The costumes for my first number were so fucking hot I felt like I was dying. We were wearing big fluffy coats and winter-wear under stage lights. Amazing costumes but NOT fun to dance in haha

I can’t imagine having to do theatre while sick, my voice could barely handle this in the first place, let alone with a sore throat T-T

my anxiety was definitely mitigated a little by thinking about Lyney getting sick on show nights cuz he never fails to make me giggle

I might do a little doodle of him suffering side stage cus DAYUM, stage lights and costumes are HOT

my thoughts are all over the place because I’m exhausted so sorry about how scattered this ask is lol

Oh man, just know you have my utmost respect because that sounds like actual hell. I would not be able to perform under those circumstances! (I mean, me myself wouldn't perform under any circumstances because I am not made for the spotlight, but that aside) Amazing job at getting through it!!

This gives so much potential for Lyney torment though, you're absolutely right. It makes me want to pick up some old Lyney projects. I once started (and never finished) a fic where Lyney collapses backstage after finishing a performance. I also had a multi chapter fic planned out where Lyney gets sick on a tour, but hides it and keeps performing and steadily getting sicker as the trip progresses. Argh, you're making me think a lot about these!

I'm working on a different fic right now (I am in fact writing again and a oneshot is cooking 👀) but I might just have to do something Lyney centered after I finish this!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

I love characters getting sick when they're not home, and especially when they can't easily go home. Sick in public, sick in class, these are all great, but I have a soft spot for characters getting sick on vacation or, my beloved, a road trip. Even if they find a place to hole up, it's not home. Absolutely love that.

As for least favourite, I had to think a lot about this. I'm not a big fan of unrealistic or exaggerated scenarios, and I don't enjoy anything sexual (nothing against it, just not my cup of tea)

Sunday Sickness - 1

What are your favorite (and least favorite) sickfick or emeto tropes?

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

Another thing the recent Fontaine event reminded me of — Just how hard I ship Lyney and Lumine

Can we talk about this whole scene where Lyney didn't feel like going out, only to immediately agree when he heard the traveller was there?

(ignore the fact that you can see my Aether in the background)

I love them. I want to write about them again. My Lyney fics actually happen to be some of my favourites to go back and reread

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

Okay so it seems to be a theme with Genshin that the limited events will randomly make me fall in love with a random character I didn't think much of before.

In the case of the newest event; Kinich.

I went from having almost no opinion on this man to loving him so much. Also just?? How did I never see the ship potential between him and Aether??

I love them now

If Aether wasn't already with Albedo in my main series, I probably would've smooshed these two together.

I'm half considering having a lil' spin off modern au series where Albedo was never in the picture and Aether dates Kinich?? But admittedly I have no idea if anybody would even read that so lmk

Long story short, I love Kinich now, and he'll likely become one of my sickfic victims

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

nudge nudge…

still alive?

Yes! Still alive!

Actually I've been scraping together the courage to post here again, haha! Playing the new Genshin event has made me brainrot a bit and I've been meaning to yap about it

(I have not played the new archon quests yet, so I won't be saying anything regarding those)

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

u. mmmmmmm.

ar e we okay. are we alive. its been nearly half a month im worried

Ahhh I'm alive I'm okay I am sorry

Whenever I don't post anything for a while I go into this guilty phase where I feel so shameful for not posting anything, that I keep procrastinating posting, which just turns into a cycle.

I feel so bad for just how inactive I've been 🥲 And I don't have a good excuse either, because things have completely calmed down in my life and I'm actually doing really well right now. I just haven't been getting that urge to write and admittedly I haven't done much to try and get back in the groove. And I feel really guilty for that

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

APPRECIATION ASK TIME!!!

i NEED to remind you just how amazing you are RIGHT NOW or I’m gonna EXPLODE

I love checking your blog every morning and afternoon and it makes me so unbelievably happy when I see that you’ve answered an ask or posted a fic or just posted anything really. Your blog has probably been one of the only things that has been consistent in my life in the whole time I’ve been following you, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to articulate how much it means to me

you’re an absolute inspiration when it comes to both writing and just reminding me that no matter what, my people are out here on the internet. The fact that you’ve never made me feel like I’m cringy or a weirdo means so much, especially with me being autistic and definitely very weird, paranoid about being seen as creepy of cringe, and also often unable to tell if my paranoia is warranted means so so so much to me, and I want to make sure you really really know how amazing you are for that

Oh my god, how have I not even mentioned your writing talent yet??!! Your fics are actually so fucking good that I sometimes genuinely can’t handle it. I’ve cried so many times reading your fics, sometimes because the emotional parts are just so touching, but quite often because it just makes me so excited and happy that I physically can’t keep it inside me. Your writing style tickles my brain so amazingly, and sometimes I lay in bed just thinking “how is this real and how is there a real human being behind this, wtf?” (/pos), because it’s just so hard to wrap my head around how lucky I was so find someone like you who writes the stuff you write on the internet and it’s just… mind boggling

I could say so much more, but I’m close to my bus stop so I have to wrap this up before I get off lol

(btw, I know this ask could be taken as a cause of concern for my mental well-being, but I promise I’m fine. I just feel a bit manic and emotional ((in the best way)) this morning and I need to tell everyone how much I love them or I’m gonna explode)

I read this this morning right after getting up, and it was the brightest start to my day I could've asked for. You have no idea how much this made me smile. I almost don't even have words!!

Thank you so, so much! Thank you honestly doesn't even seem to cover it. I can't express just how happy it makes me to know my silly little blog with all its silly little stories has made such an impact on somebody, and has brought somebody this amount of joy. Like, I did this! I made somebody happy!! And that makes me so immensely happy and makes me want to continue writing and creating.

Seriously, this means so, so much to me. I'm so happy you've enjoyed my blog this much, and I'm so happy you've enjoyed my writing as much as you have. Just, the thought that somebody likes me fics that much, I can't wrap my head around it, it makes me so happy and joyful and I don't have words to describe all these emotions I'm feeling. Thank you so freaking much, and thank you so much for all the support over the years you've been following my blog. You are awesome!!

Thank you so much, again, a million times over! Thank you!

I. NEED. POOR. PRECIOUS. BABIES. CRYING. UNTIL. IT. TRIGGERS. THEIR. GAG. REFLEX.

totally did not just experience this and then cheer myself up by turning it into a fanfic idea... totally...

Firstly I am sending you hugs because that's not a good time at all.

But being able to cheer yourself up by turning your own misery into fuel for fics is so real (I do it. So. Much.) and I will absolutely agree that is a fantastic scenario fanfic-wise.

There's two scenarios here; one, they're already sick and queasy and emotional, so something easily makes them cry and cry enough to gag from it. Two, they're perfectly healthy, but something happened that just sent them spiralling and breaking down to the point where they cry themselves sick. And oh that second scenario breaks my heart but I love it!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

note to self: do not try to sprint 2 kilometres in 35° heat and UV index at 9 just to get somewhere on time

(I missed my bus stop when I was supposed to meet up with friends and tried to run. Ended up almost passing out and I was still too late to see them. Also tried to chug some juice when I got home to rehydrate and almost threw up)

this honestly sounds like something Cyno would do. Like, imagine if Nari is sick, and it’s a really hot day. Something went wrong when Cyno was out buying meds or food or something and he ended up having to walk home. He’s good with the heat, so he thinks he can do this. Turns out he can’t. Turns out he threw up before he even got home and when he does get home, Nari is just… “what the fuck?”

hehe, fun thoughts

(OH MY GOD I JUST TJOUGHT OF ANOTHER ACENARIO WITH THE SAMW OUTCOME BUT IT’S VALENTINES DAY AND CYNO IS LATE AND TJINKS HE CAN MAKE IT)

This reminds me SO much of that Heizou drabble I wrote once, where he was late for an exam and sprinted to class. This one, I actually went back and searched for it!

But oh dang that sounds like such an unfun experience 😭 I love the sickfic potential, but that still had to suck!

Though I genuinely love the idea of Nari being sick and Cyno pushing himself to those limits to get something his boyfriend needed. That is just pure perfection and I absolutely might have to write that one day- AND THE VALENTINES OPTION TOO!! That's so Cyno coded 😭

Thank you so much for the brainrot I will be thinking about this all day now
