platonic with xiao? (IF I SEE PEOPLE INSISTING ITS SHIP I WILL SMITE THEM ON THE SPOT)

//@vigilant-yaksha-asks

The first 5 Asks to send 💋 get a kiss [1/5 for Lumine]

The blonde Traveller watched carefully as Xiao played with his two pets - Almond and Tofu. Honestly, it was quite adorable to see him bond with the animals like that. It was clear that he cared very deeply about them - and that this feeling was mutual, given by how they were giving him small 'kisses' by licking his cheeks or nose.

"Hey...Let me join in too~" She hummed, scooting closer to give the Yaksha a quick peck on the cheek.

"Hehe~"

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What's your OTP for your Muse(s)?

Haicross… ❤️ Haicross tunnel vision…

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

Fluff, lots of fluff, casual domesticity, and stuff like that. Longing, yearning. There can be break ups and angst, and exes getting back together. And death, if only for a drabble, or a meme specifically about that ( because afterward is hard to work with, haha ). As long as I can see it and fits the muse that I'm writing at the moment, it's fine. My brain and my heart are very squishy things, though, and my English will get in the way for sure, so tropes that require a lot of thought and a lot of angst and a lot of good writing may be limited.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

I like crazy age gap in the right context ( mortal x immortal ; younger immortal x older immortal ), but that's it, I think.

Are you selective when shipping?

Yeah. I like my characters to be perceived a certain way, but that's half my responsibility there, to show the way I see them, eh. If you share the vision, we're off to a great start. I just don't agree with most of fandom pre-conceptions.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

Just a little spicy is enough for me to tag it both suggestive and nsfw at the same time, just to be safe.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

For both, platonic and romantic bonds, I've always leaned more towards OCs than canon characters. For canon characters, it has frequently been “rare pairs”, and so on. At least, that's the pattern I've noticed. Which I'm very happy with, heh.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

Yes.

How often do you like to ship?

I love it. My blog is not ship-centered though, as loud as I am about the ships I do have and like, every reply here is supposed to be platonic, non shippy, by default. The muses I've picked so far are just kind-hearted or overly friendly, sometimes.

Are you multiship?

Yes.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I used to be more reserved about it. But, now, I talk about the ships I like more openly, more freely. I don't know what that makes me though.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

For Genshin, Cyhaino, second only to Haicross, which is real in my heart. For Honkai: Star Rail, JingHeng. Mmmm, Electro/Lighting white-haired Generals and their smart boyfriends, another pattern.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Just by asking, and interacting a few times.

[soliloquics]

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?

i'm going to not yap and keep it to the muses on this blog of course,, in which case it'd be zhongchi, kavetham, wriolette, jingheng and also kind of jingren

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

i do not do toxic relationships in any shape, no non-con at all, i won't be rping any kind of abuse of any variety and i also don't particularly enjoy break-up rp, i'd rather do that stuff off-screen orz

other than that i'm fully fine with anything from the most mundane slide of life to nsfw

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

any ages that are past the irl understanding, things in the thousands and such, set aside; no characters under twenty involved in any ships but other than that it fully depends tbh

Are you selective when shipping?

yes and no? i don't like shipping with people who have a million ships for their character and just for the sake of it, i don't like shipping because someone just likes characters or the writers just like writing together; i need ships that have actual chemistry ic that becomes apparent through rp

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

oooof i think it gets sort of suggestive as soon as crotch stuff is involved or the shirts come off? proper nsfw as soon as things wander skin-level below the belt, i'd say.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

there's a few ships that i can sort of see, but again, i like to just find chemistry in roleplay, i usually just stick to having one or two ships that i completely hyperfocus on.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

aaaah i actually find it kinda awkward? i like letting things develop ic, but it's fine if you feel like there's some chemistry and you want to chat to me about it, if it's more comfortable for you!

How often do you like to ship?

if it were up to me i'd write like probably 80% shipping no cap

Are you multiship?

yep yep, always separate verses, no cap on the amount

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

definitely ship obsessed yeah. there's a lot of stuff i enjoy writing but i love writing ships the most by a far stretch.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

definitely kavetham and wriolette for genshin and ratiorine for star rail... i am weak, obvious and i bet everyone knows this by now orz

Finally, how does one ship with you?

roleplay! send me stuff, flirt with the muse, whatever you feel like! i really don't like shipping 'dry', with no interactions beforehand. completely plotting things out beforehand is not really my jam

Yes I absolutely analysed their character profiles and team profiles. Feng Xin and Mu Qing are my OTP ship and I will die on that ship.

Incorrect Quotes

[twinclownsoflotuspiers]

Fic author interview!

Thamks @galexibrain

Anyone who wants to do this can!

How many works do you have on Ao3?

Currently 70

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

557,317

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

We Call This Fate (MDZS) [JC/WWX] - 546 kudos

2. Smile, And You're Much Cuter! (MDZS) [JC/WWX] - 445 kudos (idek why people like this so much -_- it's a fic i wrote i like the least)

3. Red (MDZS) [JC/WWX. companion work to Fate] - 389 kudos

4. and there is one price i'd cheat to win (MDZS) [JC/WWX] - 355 kudos

5. My Love Grows Gardens And Flower Crowns (MDZS) [JC/LXC] - 341 kudos (relic from my past lel)

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

I do as much as I can! I take a while to reply though because sometimes I'm either not in the right brainspace or the comments have piled up, making me overwhelmed.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Probably the Jiang Cheng centric angst fic "Indecision". I rarely write unhappy endings even though I write a lot of angst. But this one's ending has absolutely no closure lol.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics have a happy or hopeful ending but I guess if we go by pure fluff and everything nice with not a single shred of angst potential then Experiences [Nu: Carnival - Eiden/Edmond], aforementioned My Love Grows Gardens and Flower Crowns and finally Simple Complexities [MDZS - JC/WWX]

7. Do you write crossovers?

I wrote one series for a TGCF/MDZS crossover because I wanted Shi Qingxuan and Jiang Cheng to meet.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Outright hate, no. Weirdly worded borderline rude "constructive criticisms" and backhanded "compliments" a number of times.

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

I write smut! As for "what kind" uhm...mostly vanilla-ish? But with some amount of dubcon though. I think my xiancheng fic "Etched" is the only one in BDSM adjacent territory and a fair amount of questionableness.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! For this fic inspired off of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem. Pairing is JC/LXC.

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

Strangely enough, no.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Uhh OTP of all times is probably XianCheng by now? I always love a ship I've once loved though so all my old OTPs are honestly all-time favorites too. Some old ships in question that I still love a lot are IchiRuki (Bleach) and NezuShi (No. 6)

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Hmm.... my longest standing WIP is the BaekChen RPF "Shall We, My Dear" which I fear may not ever be updated. But I do still wanna finish it though...

15. What are your writing strengths?

ANGST, psychological whump, some more angst.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Not being able to control my wordcount and not having a consistent writing schedule lol.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I'd get too insecure to do full dialogues but a few short ones here and there should be within my abilities.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

WAAAYYY back I wrote a fic on a random notepad for Nintama Rantaro when I was like 10 or something lolll. Of course I wasn't in fandoms or anything at all back then. For a "fandom" my first posted fic was a Naruto one, Gaara centric because I didn't care (mostly) for anyone else xD.

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

Several actually. ZhouDu from Priest's Mo Du, NezuShi (and so what if No.6 is old?), some kinda self-indulgent genshin rarepairs I wanna try very specific ideas on [few eg: KaeRosaLuc, VenLuc, EuLuc] and YuuMika from Owari no Seraph because I'd recently begun rereading the manga and Mika is once again blorbo.

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written

Simple Complexities hands down. It's not my most popular but I think I hold this fic really dear because I did a great job. From my old EXO RPF fandom, the Noragami AU ChanSoo fic; even though my writing has improved loads from then, I'm still plenty proud of this one. And finally, while We Call This Fate is not my "favorite" but I worked the hardest for this so it has a lot of my love and blood, sweat and tears.

[tartaeya]

kaeya 😈 also bennett hehe

OH HI.... I would love to do this meme for those two ;o;

Kaeya:

favorite thing about them: Kaeya's just so damn cool, genuinely the most interesting Mondstadt character with a ton of foreshadowing set up for his relevance and even that isn't as important as just how complex but likeable he is? Everything from how everyone knows Kaeya's smiles are fake (even to kids!) to the fact that he's so competent despite being a cavalry captain with no cavalry... we stan a babygirl who can get the upper hand on just about anyone. I love that he's kind of an asshole in Venti's story quest to Diluc, LMAO it just shows a side of him we don't often see.

least favorite thing about them: I agree w/u Kaeya could turn out to be the Tsaritsa and want world domination or something and I'd be like yes sweetie you're doing great

favorite line: god I'm bad with quotes but I'm fond of "Khaenri'ah, huh? You sure know a lot! The legacy of Khaenri'ah is long gone, the sinners are all that's left, and they're not worth mentioning." from his voiceover quotes. go girl give us nothing

brOTP: favonius crew!

OTP: Chaeya obviously, they were my first Genshin ship thanks to a friend posting about them often enough for me to get curious and now I feel like these two characters are Made for each other and that they're def gonna meet in canon. And if I'm wrong, I will be so sad :') BUT THAT'S OKAY they don't need to meet in canon for them to be perfect.

nOTP: I could just take the easy route and say k*luc but honestly I hate every other ship involving Kaeya because I have ship blinders on for every ship I'm really invested in. I Do Not Perceive them with other characters.

random headcanon: Kaeya can't cook and from the fact that he grew up with a rather privileged life, I like to think he'd learn a lot from Childe about how to take care of himself. Also that Kaeya sneaks Childe into the Favonius Headquarters barracks from time to time...

unpopular opinion: hmm. I feel like people dismiss Kaeya as a jerk at times but forgive other characters for being jerks in the exact same way/dismiss him as an irrelevant starter character. Like there is no other character in Genshin, to me, that has as many secrets as him. I think it's premature to write him off in any capacity!!

song i associate with them: I like Curses by the Crane Wives for him!

benny boy beneath the cut so this post doesn't get too long!

favorite thing about them: Benny is just the sweetest little guy and a constant in my team ever since I got him. He's just So Good and doesn't deserve all the bad luck he has :( He's really versatile in terms of both combat and characters he pings off of! I feel like he'd be particularly good in a summer event, esp for more lore about him.

least favorite thing about them: I accidentally c6'd him :(

favorite line: BENNY'S ADVENTURE TEAM ASSEMBLE

brOTP: most of the Mondstadt Obvious Teenage Characters tend to go along really well with him as friends. I also like the idea of Diluc being friendly with him because I run them in the same team comp often.

OTP: I subscribe to your Benyun agenda hahaha, the art is so cute!

nOTP: i can't see him with any girls i'm sorry

random headcanon: He accidentally does the bad luck superstitions often. Walks under ladders, breaks mirrors, black cats cross his path... etc. Can't catch a break.

unpopular opinion: I don't really have one!

song i associate with them: UHHH i don't. Have one RIP I'm so bad with song memes

[katsurolle]

kazunyan (ft. kazujinyan!) dump as d summertime odyssey event nears its end... god this event fed me so much i feel so alive they r so scrungkly to me and i really want to see more of them in the future!!!

[lynnthefrenchtoast]

🌱lynn's thoughts on genshin ships

bc she has lot of them.

ships: kaebedo, zhongchi, xiaoven, ittorou, thomato (feel free to request more:))

KAEBEDO❄️🎨

• otp.

• my genuine life source

• "how kind of you to maroon us on that neighbouring island." "oh please dont mention it" $(4+_8+292-_(_!_?_!!!!!!!

• i think when they interacted in canon i felt happiness for the first time in years (/j)

• its abt the connection to khaenriah alright-

• its abt kaeya being good with pyro kids bc he grew up with diluc and therefore taking such good care of klee

• its abt the cavalry captain thinking the chief alchemist will be a bore, and vice versa

• its abt when they meet for the first time and realize 'oh archons hes pretty.'

• its abt albedos eyes on kaeyas pupils, and kaeyas eyes on albedos neck. its abt the four-pointed star and the realization you arent alone.

• also prince kaeya of khaenriah theories hhhhhh YES

• tfw you destroy mondstadt with ur pirate boyfriend

• or: tfw you try to destroy mondstadt but ur hot pirate boyfriend stops you

• either is *cheffs kiss*

• kaeya at first makes fun of albedo for being unable to decline klee but after dating for a while kaeya starts becoming the same way

• thank god for jean or klees power would be unparalleled

• when shes around, kaeya likes doing small things that irk albedo bc he never gets mad when theyre in front of klee

• ...but when klee leaves aHA KAEYA RUN

• they both have survivors guilt why? bc i said so

• also bc of kaeyas cryo vision and the fact albedo isnt really human neither of them really get cold

• SO KAEYAS THE ONLY ONE WHO VISITS ALBEDO AT DRAGONSPINE AND DOESNT MIND

• and kaeya must have really cold hands meaning albedos the only one who can hold them and not find it discomfiting

• they make me feel so single

ZHONGCHI🔶💧

• childe, eleventh fatui harbinger, loyal to the tsaritsa,

• falls in love with the geo archon.

• i imagine he was alr in love with zhongli before the big reveal and when he found out his xiansheng was morax childe's world shattered.

• he had no right to be mad since he himself was also hiding his identity as a harbinger but..

• everything felt so numb

• he stops spending every living second with zhongli. basically thinks hes "given up" on the man-

• but then zhongli apologizes. even though he really didnt have to.

• and how can childe stay mad when zhongli is apologizing so sincerely?

• when childe realizes he indeed hasnt given up on zhongli, even though he now knows the man is aN ARCHON AND ADEPTUS-

• he has an existential crisis.

• the dowry chopsticks. PLSSSS.

• everyone in liyue thought they were already a couple way before they ever became a couple.

• including zhongli.

• SNEZHNAYAN PEOPLE ARE TOUCHY AND LIYUEANS ARENT SO WHEN CHILDE TAKES HIS HAND ZHONGLI THINKS "oh we're dating okay"

• doesnt help that zhongli isnt very vocal abt his feelings either so the misunderstanding dragged on a whole month

• wouldve dragged on longer if childe didnt confess

• a love built on sacrilige yum

XIAOVEN🍃👹

• i actually dont ship xiaoven that hard wanna know why

• bc i got into genshin solely for venti. i read so much venti x reader. and when i realized ppl shipped him with smn else i was jealous

• yOU HEARD ME RIGHT I WAS JEALOUS. #87$$8_+$(

• xiaos always like "yOu have NO resPeCt fOr tHe aDePti." but ventis an archon so hes one the few xiao cant say that too

• ITS SO CUTE BC YOU CAN TELL XIAO WANTS TO SAY IT BUT VENTI IS LIKE OF HIGHER RANK SO HE CANT PROTEST

• i feel like venti gave xiao his vision thinking "oh hes pretty and he has trauma cool ill probably never have relations with this person"

• a week later morax adopts this yaksha and hes like "..oh no."

• VENTI HAS HAD A CRUSH ON XIAO SINCE THE ARCHON WAR. CANON.

• and xiao was too busy being a tool of war so only hundreds of years later (current genshin period) did he start gaining feelings

• zhongli and xiao respect each other immensely

• ...but god do they hate each others taste in men.

• "youre in love with barbatos?" *ew face* "with all due respect my lord, youre in love with a ginger."

• xiao treated venti like an authority early on which frustrated him lots

• "sorry its just.. when you speak, i feel so content just listening i almost forget i need to reply."

• venti doesnt get as frustrated after that.

ITTOROU😈🐶

• EARED-FOLK SOLIDARITY

• itto falls first. 100%. and he isnt subtle about it.

• "GO ON A DATE WITH ME!" "..okay?"

• though itto is a lot of things, romantic isnt one of em. ayato has to physically tell him "bro. gorou thinks this is platonic." so that dumbass realizes

• dumbass (affectionately, ofc)

• gorou hates when itto grabs at his tail randomly but one fine day itto decides to stroke it gently when theyre in private and

• gorou doesnt bat his hands away.

• the realization that gorou only hates it when its in public- ITTO HAS STRUCK GOLD.

• gorou has also wanted to touch ittos horns for the longest time but he knows how annoying it is to have ppl constantly asking and doesnt wanna be a bother.

• then one night when he thinks itto is asleep he presses his finger against the tip and

• ah.

• yk when you hyperfocus on something and logical thought goes out the window? THATS ONE OF GOROUS DOG TENDENCIES AND ITS SO CUTE

• GOROUS SUCH AN IDIOT FOR THAT OFC ITS SHARP AND OFC HES GONNA START BLEEDING

• anyway itto wakes up and gorou has to confess what he was doing and then itto lets him touch his horns as much as he wants.

• ittos usually the one to initiate affection and since the only nickname in his vocabulary is "dudebro" they dont use pet names until like a month in when itto loses a beetle fight and to cheer him up gorou goes

• "youll get em next time, right? bc youre my itto, the one and oni!"

• "...'your' itto?"

• "huh? wAIT NO-"

• itto was successfully cheered up that day.

• best nickname for gorou: "pup." $!_!_!!_?4!4

• ittos so big and gorous so small so one day itto holds something gorou wants up over his head and in frustration gorou deadass barks.

• AND THEN HE GETS SO EMBARRASSED AND IS LIKE "erase that sound from your memory... please..." BUT ITS TOO LATE

• big demon lil dog dynamic>>

THOMATO🍅

• TOMATOOOOOOO

• unrelated but thomas name shouldve been spelt tohma HES PERFECT IN EVERY WAY SHAPE AND FORM EXCEPT FOR THAT

• ayato misusing his authority is my favourite trope.

• (inspired by a fic by wormkinnie on ao3 they're literally such an inspiration and their itto fics are so in character go check them out)

• "thoma, i am asking as a friend-"

• "milord, as a friend, no."

• "ok"

• "now im asking as an employer."

• AYATO DOESNT EVEN HAVE A FACE BUT I ALR LOVE HIM

• "hey thoma, smile for me."

• "im sorry what?"

• "thats an order."

• thoma gets so flustered bc he cant disobey orders especially not ones directly from the head commissioner but- SISHRURU AYATO CMON

• thoma is the most perfect shoujo manga boyfriend. (real no clickbait)

• the first few times a yashiro commission guard thought it would be fine to badmouth thoma in front ayato,, ahaaa lets just say he was proven wrong in a way no one would ever forget

• ayato has no real care for if you badmouth anyone but god forbid it be ayaka or thoma; youre dead<3

• also this is obvious but thoma stopping him from overworking

• "go to bed." "only if you go with me."

• unrelated but thoma has survivors guilt too i said what i said

• just realized the red and blue lowkey looks like kaeluc I SWEAR IT ISNT

interested in hearing more of my headcanons or seeing more of my content? ;

My favorite Genshin Impact ships

Some ships are m/f, some are poly, some of the ships overlap with others.

I'm a multishipper and do not have a true OTP.

1: Xiao/Aether. I feel this one is obvious but I just. love them. adore them. yes technically xiaolumi has all the same scenes but a) my traveler is Aether and b) it doesn't feel the same to me for some reason.

2: Zhongli/Ningguang/Beidou: This one is just so much fun to me. Ningguang has two hands, right? also I think she'd let Zhongli keep Childe around as an extra.

3: 5wirl polycule: aether/xiao/venti/heizou/kazuha: I just think they're cute okay? though I do frequently forget about venti. Oops. I also like to add Ayaka my beloved for some variety and elegance. Speaking of Ayaka...

4: Thoma/Ayaka: Cuties. Need I say more? mutual respect and trust. they have each other's backs brb i'm gonna cry.

5: Hu Tao/Keqing: *sobbing* so many trope inversions and I just think Keqing needs a silly prankster to lighten her load, and that Hu Tao needs someone to help keep her grounded in reality.

6: Jean/Diluc: My first Genshin ship, I got so many parental vibes from both that I just shipped them immediately. I just- the way they quietly watch each other's backs in their mutual protecting of Mondstadt *sobbing*

7: Albedo/Sucrose: *sobbing* and they were outcast scientists TOGETHER. They just. care about each other. please let them hold hands. outside of the lab. safety first. wash your hands bbs.

8: Relatedly: Albedo/sucrose/kaeya/rosaria: blame my friend for this one. all the silly shenanigans. they're all disasters and that's okay.

9: Itto/Sara: lisTEN. ENEMIES TO LOVERS. They're so funny around each other. I want them to have to team up for something and that's when they get just a little softer around each other.

10: Bennet/Fischl/Razor: I just feel like there's a lot of potential here, okay? I want them to learn that even if society doesn't really care for the lot of them that much, they all have each other's backs. also just. flowers and all kinds of well intentioned gifts and actions. So many adventures!

Okay okay that's it. I just really care about all these ships a lot.

[hongjoongpresent]

oo wait what about genshin impact for the ask game !!

Oooohoho yesssss

Favorite female character: OH YOU'RE MAKING ME CHOOSE.. I'd have to say Jean, she's been my beloved scrunkly since the very start of the game and she will continue to be my main forever

Favorite male character: Xingqui <3 book nerd character my beloved

Favorite book/season/etc: I'm just gonna say favorite story quest. My favorite story quest was probably Itto's quest or Raiden's quest. Between those 2 I can't choose

Favorite episode if it's a tv show: um it's not a tv show. If this is a free card for getting to name another story quest I really loved I'm gonna say Albedo's story quest also really got me.

Favorite cast member: Idk any of their names but Itto's English voice is sooo <3<3<3<3<3

Favorite ship: oooh that's a tough one. Probably gonna have to go with Eimiko

Character I'd die defending: Xinyan!!!! Every time someone checks out the characters I have on display they always go "you levelled Xinyan? Lol" LIKE YES. YES because she is cool and I like her. Die mad about it

Character I just can't sympathize with: Childe.. sorry I just don't like him lol

Character I grew to love: definitely Kokomi. I didn't like her all that much at first I didn't really care for her lol. But I really liked her story quest and I like her a lot now

Anti OTP: tbh I really don't care enough about shipping. I can't even think of anything

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? 27 fandoms, though for most of them it’s only like one or two. They are Akatsuki no Yona, Bungou Stray Dogs, My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter, Tales of Zestiria, Tales of Berseria, Tales of Graces, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Xillia, Tales of Hearts, Tales of the Rays, Professor Layton, Noragami, Pandora Hearts, Dai Gyakuten Saiban, A Series of Unfortunate Events, RWBY, Tangled the series, Doki Doki Literature Club, Ori and the Blind Forest, Vanitas no Carte, Genshin Impact, Kiznaiver, Boku dake ga Inai Machi, Kuroshitsuji, Ai the Somnium Files, and Charlotte.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? “Pictures, Posters, and Tender Beauty”, “Plus Est En Vous”, “My Reason”,  “I Am Here, Too”, and “A Bandage for my Scars, and your Heart” ...Not surprised that four out of five of those are MHA fics, but I will never understand how that Tangled the series one I did got so insanely popular..... maybe because the show director himself acknowledged it. 0_0

Do you respond to comments, why or why not? I try to, though I have to shamefully admit I pick and choose which ones I respond to. I appreciate every comment I get, of course, every writer does, but idk, I just feel like a broken record responding to all similar shorter comments with “Thank you so much!!! I’m so happy you liked it <3″ or something like that... Is that cruel of me? >_> I also feel weird responding to comments on my super old stuff, because aside from a few exceptions, I don’t really like most of my old fics anymore alkgklflkkl and I barely remember them enough to be able to give a reasonable response to comments on those. Instead I just put all my energy into responding to longer, more detailed comments, because with those I actually have more to work with to say back... But again, I love all my comments!! I’m really sorry if I don’t respond to your comment, it doesn’t mean I’m not grateful, I just don’t know what to say back OTL

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? Haaaah, there are a few, but proooobably the most angsty ending would be in “Smile, and maybe tomorrow, you’ll see the sun.” Since the thing is basically 12k words of agonizingly drawn-out All Might death... :’) Though I meant for the actual ending to be somewhat hopeful/bittersweet? and I surely have other ones that have more painful endings... But that’s the obvious one that comes to mind, since I’ve had multiple people yell at me for it. :)

Have you ever received hate on a fic? I can’t remember any instances of outright hate, but I’ve gotten some... odd comments every once in a while... Or just some annoying criticism that the person didn’t intend to be mean about, I don’t think, but that realllly wasn’t warranted. These comments are very rare though.

Do you write smut? If so what kind? Noooo way in hell lol

Have you ever had a fic stolen? ....I mean, not that I know of!

Have you ever had a fic translated? Yeah, I think I had at least one someone asked to translate into Russian, although they put it on FF.net lol

Have you ever co-written a fic before? No... I really want to though. Multiple friends and I have planned different ones, but we haven’t gotten around to doing any of them yet because I’m into different fandoms atm and also dealing with health problems that distract me.... My ex-friend and I had a major one that was in the planning stages, but then she stopped being my friend so it never got off the ground. :’) I’m still upset about that...

What's your all time favorite ship? Mmmmm that’s hard; I don’t ship that much at all, so although I have a few favorite ships, one in particular doesn’t really stand out to me as my hardcore OTP.... Buuut I guess I would say Snow/Serah from FFXIII; I love ff13 so much, it’s so special to me, and those two are just the absolute sweetest and the heart and soul of the game 🥺❤️ I haven’t written anything for them or ff13 in general, but maybe someday.

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? I only ever have one WIP at a time, so..... Hopefully not my current long one, I am constantly trying to slap myself for thinking, intimidated as I am by it with all my ideas for it and all the research I need to do. :’)

What are your writing strengths? I think I’m really good at writing characters’ emotions... the emotions they show, and everything they’re feeling internally. I really like the stream-of-consciousness style of internal monologue I’ve started using within the last few years; I think it’s very... cathartic? In general I just think I’m good at writing softness, cause I definitely feel the soft feels rereading my stuff lol

What are your writing weaknesses? Motivation.... starting a writing session and not getting distracted.... ADHD.... what do I do. :’) Although I just said I like that stream-of-consciousness style I use, I often feel like I use it too much, or things get redundant, and too wordy and overwhelming, bah..... I’m also shit at just.... knowing things, like worldbuilding, but like, real-world stuff that everyone knows, but I’ve been living under a rock my whole life and not done a lot of things that are normal for most other people, so I struggle with that in my writing, which is why all my fics not-so-subtly eek around mentioning things like food and irl places and so much else, haaah.... now I’m got myself writing 1800s Victorian London; someone save me

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? Ehhhh only do it veryyyy sparingly, like when a character is startled and might briefly revert to their native language, or something similar. I just did that in one of my recent fics, actually, and looked up a few Russian words, being super anal about getting it right.... and I still got a comment correcting my Russian, even though it was only like 3 words in the entire thing, with nothing else to say about the rest of the fic... it was a little frustrating :’)

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for? Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn. That was the first series that really got me into fandom and making online friends, and gave me the courage to try writing fics; I’m so grateful to it for that, and it still remains one of my favorite mangas <3 Ah, to be able to pump out fics as easily and quickly as I did back then...

What's your favorite fic you've ever written? I think it’s still “Manufactured Hearts, Real Happiness”, the sole Tales of the Abyss fic I’ve written. TotA is my favorite game of all time, and I wrote this for a Tales big bang that happened a while back; it turned out much longer than I ever anticipated, one of my longest fics to date, and pretty much exactly how I wanted it to be, which is always the best feeling... I was so happy to feel like I did my favorite game justice. :’) Now.... my dream is for my current WIP to become my new favorite, if I can pull it off right; we’ll see :’)

Uhhhh I’ll tag @sixtyfourk , @cenally , @arcane-palm , @kyoukalay , @magicmetslogic , and @evevoli03 , if any of you want to do this~

[anxiousgod]

bennett

Ah yes, one of my main on genshin

1: sexuality headcanon : I have like NO IDEA my dude

2: otp : I don't really ship him with anybody

3: brotp : THE ENTIRETY OF MONDSTADT. Let this boys have friends and a family and a good life with lots of adventure, thank you.

4: notp : STOP SHIPPING MINORS WITH ADULTS OMG

5: first headcanon that pops into my head : I don't really have any hcs actually, but Bennett seeing Kaeya as an older brother ? Yes thank you.

6: one way in which I relate to this character: I, too, have no fucking luck.

7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character : The fact that the game assigned him as my main without my consent. But i love him, so it's alright.

8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? CINNAMONROLL !!

[kae-karo]

For the character ask, Kazu (or Thoma just in case someone already asked for Kazu) ❤️

hello epi!!!!! 💜 i actually have not had anyone ask for kazoo yet!!

How I feel about this character:

from a gameplay perspective, he is honestly kinda op lmao i'm so glad i decided to pull for him. he's my main travel character like when i'm walking around, mostly cause his E is so good for...literally every kind of travel? like i used to have kaeya or childe even out most of the time but kazoo is just perfect for the first attack like gathering all the enemies together n stuff??? he's super great paired with bennett since his primary elemental absorption is pyro, but since benny doesn't have huge pyro application most of the time, i can steal kazoo's burst or E to get some solid pyro application. once i got that down from a mechanics perspective, it's like. supremely badass. kazoo also pairs well with childe since i can drag all the enemies together and then bap them with childe's Q?

from a design perspective, he is babie. i adore his hair and the maple leaf theme, he's very flowy and fits well with the anemo vibe even if he isn't blue/green (understandably lmao). i actually like the red tho it's a nice color scheme for him

from a character perspective, i adore him. i wish we'd gotten a proper story quest for him instead of just the pre-inazuma thing? he's such a fun balance between peaceful and lowkey a little unhinged lmao like YES give me haikus and then threaten to burn someone's face off or whatever u did ily bb. i also find his backstory super interesting with lots of places to expand on it either in canon or just in fanon lmao

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

TOMO 🥺🥺 that's definitely my primary (only?) kazoo ship

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

i realize now that this says 'otp' but i will continue to ignore it in favor of listing off all the chars i want to see them be friends with lmao. i think i said on the kaeya one that he and kaeya would be a fun friendship lmao. i also do adore kazoo beidou friendship!! i also think canon gorou's lil 'KAZUHA!' when he saw kazoo again was cute i'm here for their friendship for sure. i think he could get along well with xiao since they both sort of do the silent anemo wanderer thing lmao. good travel companions i think, if kazoo ever stayed in liyue. oh! i think he xingqiu and hu tao could be a riot in terms of their poetry too lmao

My unpopular opinion about this character:

hmm...again, i feel like i have very little in the way of unpopular opinions. maybe this is a stretch but i think (?) it's popular to view kazoo as the subby, delicate wifey type? and i really don't vibe writing him that way at least. don't mind reading it, but not really my thing to write it?

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

TOMO INTERACTIONS i would've loved/would love a story quest that further explores what happened to tomo, where he came from, etc in the sense of like. maybe kazoo grieving? or smth? if i were writing it personally, i'm not sure how i'd go about it, but 1. i simply can't imagine kazoo really just. setting that vision there and leaving it (knowing that ppl want to steal it?) and 2. just fully letting tomo go (and the CAT the cAT) idk it feels like there could've been a bigger emotional impact if we'd had some more backround beyond just 'they were friends and then he DIED' like a full story quest centered around kazoo coming to terms with him truly being gone? idk that whole bit felt insufficient to me lmao. i would also like to see him...do some more wandering? like...not just on inazuma and in the crux fleet? he makes a big deal out of being a wanderer, i feel like it'd be fun to have him show up in other countries and stuff

my OTP:

tomo, without question lmao

my cross over ship:

hmm. is it cheating if i say todoroki again? (not as a romantic ship) lmao i think their senses of humor would align surprisingly well. plus red/white matchy matchy lmao. and a burn? it's all coming together....does this make dabi = tomo? i'll take a 'tomo didn't actually die but got kidnapped by the fatui on the brink of death and they turned him into a harbinger' 👀👀

a headcanon fact:

hmm....i mean aside from his past which is purportedly rather straightforward, i really don't know if i have much in the way of creative thoughts here lmao. is it a hc to say he and tomo were more than just besties?

send me genshin ships/chars to talk abt or rank!

[twunkass]

For the character ask meme, I don't think I'm familiar with any of your fandoms(ghfdhgfhdgf just followed for the dope-ass art <3), so pick any you like!

thank u, that actually is very touching cuz i shift fandoms a lot lol. knowing some ppl like my art regardless of the context is rly cool! anyway i'm gonna do this for zhongli cuz he's my fav genshin chara and i don't think ive ever posted abt him here. might as well rn!

favorite thing about them: his constant oversharing, i know some people find it annoying (both characters and fans) but its actually smth i find very endearing. its relatable and humanizes him, in a way

least favorite thing about them: i play genshin in the english translation. i love the voice actors, but i feel like the translations really fall flat. the unfortunate truth is that you're going to lose a lot of nuance and context in certain places, simply because different languages aren't 1:1. the reason i say this is because english!zhongli often comes off as a lot colder and more stiff than chinese!zhongli, and so a lot of what makes his chara so warm and comforting is lost. hopefully that makes sense lol!

favorite line: "I enjoy partaking in walks through the city, when time permits. I find it very calming. Yes... Just when did this feeling begin...?"

brOTP: him n the traveler, i rly love portrayals of them as a cozy little found family with qiqi xiao and hutao!!! ^_^

OTP: i have no otps for anything rly, HOWEVER i do like guizhong/morax. nonbinary4nobinary romance is real bc of them. thank u old people

nOTP: again ships aren't important enough for me to have opinions for or against them, that being said if you ship zhongli with any child (yes even the ones that have fallen prey to the '3k year old baby' trope) chara stay away from me

random headcanon: hes agender! he uses he/him as a default, but all prns are ok. he also appreciates feminine or nongendered honorifics more than masculine ones, tho all are ok there too. basically anyone who likes zhongli is gay and straight. it just makes sense you see <-[CLUELESS]

unpopular opinion: none really? i do my part to avoid this fandom as a whole so i couldn't really say if my opinions are unpopular or not

song i associate with them: koi by gen hoshino

favorite picture of them: every photo. there are no bad photos of zhongli. every photo of zhongli is a good photo bc it has zhongli in it

[faerierambles]

Ohhhh bet bet bet, thank ye Shuuie

The first Chara I fell in love with:

It would have to be Venti, he was the very first character I adored when I first started playing Genshin!

The chara I never expected to love as much as I do now:

Hmmmmm, not sure, I'm not normally biased towards characters? So I love em all equally

The Chara everyone loves but I don't:

No one actually, I love a lot of the characters equally

Favorite element/vision:

Ahhh that's a hard one- uhhh Anemo probably, I'm a Venti main, love his elemental stuff

Favorite weapon type:

I enjoy archery so bows, it's the easiest weapon for me, which is a shock given I had no clue how to use it at first.

The Chara I would smooch:

Scaramouche, that's right, that short angry fucker, imma kiss him

The chara I would settle down with, marry, live life with:

Archons uhhh Ganyu, she's my favorite person ever, uhhh also Xiao, Scaramouche uhhh Thoma, Gorou and Kokomi :))

Chara I'm saving for:

Ganyu Ganyu Ganyu Ganyuuuu!! I'm on guaranteed rn

Chara I would slap:

Kaeya ;)) lying Lil shit there/hj just a polite slap y'know? Tell him to straighten up, tell the truth before shit gets real for him

Chara Id want to be like:

Rosaria actually, I admire her sm and she's brave and protective and just dark?? Ig that's the word for it

Character I would commit crimes with:

Scaramouche, we will just fuck shit up, rule the world

Pairing that I love:

Xianyu, it's my OTP and I adore it sm they're opposites but also similar and just- I adore em so damn much🥺

Pairing that I despise:

Anything illegal and toxic
