– CRUSHING ⋆

–☆ fluff

–☆ including : Bokuto Koutarou (slightly ooc)

❕️: I apologize for barely uploading and how short this is (´∀｀；). I've been focusing on school a lot more this year so I won't be post a lot!

Bokuto was confused. He tried asking Akaashi for answers, but he still couldn't understand it. I mean he did understand what was happening to him, he just didn't want to believe it yet.

The ultimate Bokuto Koutarou was crushing on his other best friend.

Every since he figured it out and started to accept it, he has been more serious but nervous towards you.

He was still he usual self most of the time when he was with you, although he would sometimes end up staring at your face and freeze when you accidentally brushed hands when walking.

Whenever you both were sitting next eachother in class he would avert his eyes to you instead of paying attention (he ended up asking for your notes everytime). Every single time he would look at you, everything would quiet down and go slow becoming a calm space around him, he liked the feeling and he would end up finding details on your face he didn't notice before.

Oh how you were starting to drive this man crazy just by existing. Poor Akaashi had to hear everything from Bokuto.

"You don't understand, Akaashi! I'm starting to like looking at his face more and more, I've never liked a guy, especially my BEST FRIEND"

"Ouch."

"Other best friend, but anyways, his hair is looks so soft, his eyes are more pretty everytime I look at them, his lips- oh my god his lips, Akaashi!"

"I'm starting to get more grosses out by all of the sappy stuff that keeps spilling out of your mouth, Bokuto."

He sat up from his laying down position and then he saw you. His eyes brightened up, it almost looked like he had tint stars in them.

"Oh look, it's your boyfriend-"

"Oh hush, Akaashi!"

The color of his cheeks had also brightened to a light pink when he heard his dearesr friend uttee those words.

"Bokuto, you look hot. Do you want me to get you some water?"

He looked up at you, oh god you looked like an angel by the sun just shinning behund you. He thought you were brighter than the sun though. Bokuto almost passed out just by the sight.

Concerned, you reached in your bag to grab a water bottle you bought from the vending machine not that long ago and handed it to him.

"There you go, Bokuto."

Akaashi looked between the both of you and sighed.

"Well, I'm going to get myself lunch since I had to babysit him for a little bit and now it's your turn."

You bid your farewell to him and sat next to Bokuto.

Of course you started to catch on his odd behaviors towards you for the past couple of weeks when being around him.

"Bokuto, are you like okay?"

Sitting next to him under a tree, on the ground, you looked over to him as he still looked foward.

"Bokuto?"

He blinked and looked at you finally humming in response.

"I asked if you were okay, you've been acting sort of strange whenever we hang out together. Did something happen?"

Bokuto stared for a couple second and sighed.

"I've actually been confused with something."

"Is it with math? Y'know you've been asking me for my notes a lot lately, so I can just tutor you if you want-"

"No, not with math... I've been confused with my feelings towards someone."

Taken back, you sat there in silence, not for long though.

"Oh. Who is this someone?"

"You."

"...what."

"You've been confusing me. Actually no, not confusing so I don't know why I said that, but that's not the point. What my point is, I like you. I know you're one of my best friends, and I have no idea where these feeling came from, but I like you. Very much. Please go out with me."

Smiling and with lightened up cheeks, you accepted his offer.

"I like you too, Bokuto. I will gladly take your offer on going out with you."

Bokuto then hugged you tight as a simple thank you.

– LIYUE BOYS REALIZATION ⋆

–☆ fluff

–☆ including: Zhongli, Baizhu, Xiao, Xingqiu, and Chongyun

🗒: I know this isn't really as good as I want it to be, but I don't really want to re-write this.. this took me forever to finish ρ(・・、)..

–☆ Zhongli:

Both you and Zhongli have been friends for quite awhile before he realized he was in love with you. You known about his past lover, Guizhong, and had felt bad when he finally opened up to you more in detail about his past.

You weren't sure how you exactly ended up being his close friend. All what you could remember was Zhongli sitting next you while you were having tea and reading a book.

"Do you mind if I sit here? There isn't any seats available."

Looking up from your book, your eyes meet with his golden eyes as you looked him up and down.

"Oh, well I suppose you can."

After you gave your approval of his sitting next you, Zhongli introduced had himself to you as you did the same, and from then on, both of you became close friends.

The moment Zhongli befriended you, he felt more.. comfortable with you, he couldn't really explain it.

"Zhongli? Hello? Earth to Zhongli?"

You waved your hand in front of his face, causing him to break from his trace.

"My apologies, I was.. spaced out."

A giggle escaped your lips. Zhongli's eyes soften and a smile appeared on his lips as he heard you laugh.

His eyes grew wide as realization hit.

There.

Your laugh is what caused him to realize his feelings for you.

Zhongli was in for a ride when he figured it out.

–☆ Baizhu:

Being Baizhu's assistant was oddly calming for you. He wasn't rude or bossy at all, it made you happy that he wasn't like many bosses in Liyue.

Although Changsheng, is quite sassy with you, but she's grown to be affectionate with you as well. It has taken you awhile to get to this stage with her and not many people have seen her with anyone else, but Baizhu. In fact, no one has, not even Baizhu until now.

"Changsheng, I need to write this person's perspiration–"

The snake tighten her body around your neck, but too tight to choke you. A chuckle left your mouth as you attempted to write the perspiration once again, only causing Changsheng to nuzzle her face to your cheek.

While this was happening, Baizhu was stocking on the medicine that were getting low and was in the city of Liyue.

When he returned and was walking up the stairs, he heard you laughing and being curious as to why you were laughing, he quickened his pace up the stairs.

He found you and Changsheng together and saw how affectionate his snake was being with you. Baizhu never thought that he would see her being this comfortable around someone that isn't him.

A smile was forming on his lips as he watching the two. He was admiring how Changsheng has finally warmed up to you and how she became affectionate. Baizhu felt jealous even, but not too jealous of course. He more jealous of how Changsheng was able to be that close to you.

He felt more happy than anything.

"Baizhu! Hello, sorry that I didn't notice you earlier."

When he heard your voice, he felt his heart beat race quicker.

"No worries, but I see that Changsheng has gotten comfortable with you. She's rarely like that with anyone."

Changsheng was growing tired and yawned, falling asleep on your neck as you nodded and smiled at him.

That was the moment Baizhu realized his love for you and how he wants to be with you.

He was surprised at this, but didn't mind if it was you.

–☆ Xiao:

Xiao had made a promise to himself to never get attached to anyone. And he kept that promise for many years, until he saw you with the Traveler, helping them to the Wangsu Inn. He beard about the Traveler for being the hero in Mondstadt and so did you, which is why you offered your help to them.

You went over the history of Liyue and how the Lantern Rite was close to appearing there.

When you arrived at the Wangshu Inn, you chatted with Verr Goldet and how they needed Xiao.

After you talked to her and told them what she had told you, you had decided that they can solve everything by themselves from here on.

"Where are you going to go? Why don't you stay with us!"

The Traveler has agreed with Paimon's statement as you looked at them both surprised.

"Really? I don't want to be a bother to you or on your mission."

They both had approved of you joining them on their quest in Liyue, almost like a tour guide for them.

When you all finally meet Xiao and the two Travelers from Mondstadt had to leave, you wished them luck on their journey to find the Traveler's lost sibling and hoped they come back to visit.

After they had left, you had remembered about Xiao and wanted to try to be his friend. Now, it took you a long time for Xiao to actually be more comfortable with you and allowed you to close to him, but it was all worth it to you.

Over the months you and Xiao had spent some quality time together everytime Xiao was free. Verr had allowed you to permanently stay there, as in exchange, you would help throughout the inn when they needed your help.

Most of the time you'll be with him during the night, it was he was the most available for you. You also know how much hard work he does and you wanted to treat him to his favorite dish, almond tofu.

You spent your time into making the dish for him, and when it was finished Xiao had came to you.

"Why are you here instead in our usual spot?"

You turned around to show him your reason for not being there.

"This is why!"

Xiao stood there and looked at the dish then you when he saw what you were holding.

"Is.. that almond tofu?"

"It is! I remembered that you talking about how it was your favorite food, and I know how much you're always fighting off monsters and such, so I wanted to make you this."

He felt his heart pace quicken, you really did listen to him when he talked to you and you remembered what his favorite food was.

His mind was filled with confusion. He cleared his throat before he spoke again.

"Uhm.. thank you."

The moment he knew he broke his own promise that he has kept for years to keep everyone safe from him, was when you made his favorite dish.

–☆ Xingqiu:

Books had always been Xingqiu's favorite thing to do all the time. He would be so interested that he would lost track of time and wouldn't even notice that he was on the last page of a book until he read the last sentence and tried to flip to the next pme to find it to be finished.

Wanwen Bookhouse is the place where most of his favorite books are, he would always go there when he had free time for it. Normally it would be Jifang that would be managing the place when he would visit, but there was someone else that was there.

Xingqiu wondered who he was and where Jifang was, so he planned that when he figured out which book to get, he would ask him.

So, when he found a book that he was interested in, he went up to him to purchase the book.

"Oh? The Legend of the Shattered Halberd series? I've heard that this is an interesting series."

Xingqiu was slightly taken back that you attempted to make small talk from him.

"It definitely is, I'm quite fond of this series."

You hummed as he gave you Mora for the book then you gave him back his book.

"Where is Jifang? I normally see her here, and who are you if I may ask?"

"Jifang is sick and asked me to take care of the place while she rests for the day. I'm her nephew that she wanted to be her assistant here."

He raised his eyebrows in amusement as he took his book from your hand and said thank you before leaving.

Xingqiu was interested in you, but didn't know how to tlak to you again. He made sure to be finished with his book quickly (Xingqiu already tends to finish his books in 2 days or so), so he can go back again.

He continued to visited the Wanwen Bookhouse a lot more than he usually did, just so he can see you and make conversation with you. It went on for a while until you two eventually became friends.

The two of you would often read books together and have debates about them, or just had some tea together.

Eventually, he figured out that the series he read almost everyday was in the consideration of being discontinued due to the author's age.

Of course he was disappointed at first, but he knew it was going to happen someday. He told you about it and you saw the disappointment in his eyes, so you decided to make him a gift.

It took you some time to finish it, but you thought it was worth it if it made him happy.

You had gave it to him when you guys spent your time together again. He asked about what was in your bag, as you don't usually carry out a bag with you.

"Oh, so uh, you know how your favorite series has the possibility of being discontinued? Well, I had made you my– your own version of it. It took a very long time to make, but–"

Xingqiu immediately took the book and opened it to find it filled with the version that he remembered telling you what he hopes what could happen in the next book.

His face had heated up when he looked at the pages and a smile was starting to appear on his face.

He loved how you put your time into this just for him.

He knew what his feelings were towards you now, he was worried only for a little bit, but he quickly got over it as he realized that it was you that he grew feelings for.

–☆ Chongyun:

He got another report about someone thinking they had unwanted spirits in their home, so of course goes to their home to excorise the spirit.

It took him about 3 hours just to find out that it has been a cat in the person's home. He was a lottle irritated about this, it was very clear to you. You felt guilty about it and promised to make him lunch everyday until you didn't feel guilty about it.

After 4 months of you making him lunch, you had already gotten over about being guilty, but you enjoyed cooking for someone else for once (malewife/j).

Chongyun had asked you if you still felt guilty about it and said he has forgiven you about it already, you told him your reasoning about why you still cook for him. He was embarrassed about the answer, but he didn't want you to stop making food, he enjoyed your cooking.

You also liked to write little notes when you give him his lunch, sometimes it'll say some words of encouragement or just some questions you had about him being an exorcist in Liyue.

When you were making his lunch, you decided to write a little something more special and decorate his lunch.

Chongyun came by at the usual time and picked up his lunch from you, he went to a place where he could enjoy the view of Liyue.

He opened his lunch to see what you had made and wrote that day.

'Your smile is very pretty, so is your eyes. I always get reminded of snow, or something, everytime I see them. Anyways, I wish you a good day, Chongyun ♡.

– Y/n'

While he kept re-reading the note, he felt his cheeks go red.

He soon enough calmed down, then looked at his lunch to see that you had decorated it to look like popsicles.

He immediately thought how cute it was with your note you put.

"I guess I'm glad that it's you."

Thanks for the tag!!

Currently I have one verse from Taylor Swift's You're Losing Me stuck on loop in my head

I wouldn't marry me either, a pathological people pleaser, who only wanted you to see her, and I'm fading thinking, do something babe, say something. Lose something babe, risk something, you're losing me.

And also Blake Shelton's I'll Name The Dogs (I don't normally listen to country but it's in my timkon playlist so it's stuck in my head)

I'll hang the pictures you hang the stars, you pick a paint I'll pick a guitar, sing you a song out there with the crickets and the frogs, you name the babies and I'll name the dogs.

Both are very different vibes, my mind is a chaotic place.

fave lyrics today?

hmmmm it’s hard to choose between two that have been stuck in my head all day so i’ll just put them both:

“icarus is flying too close to the sun / and icarus’s life has only just begun” (icarus - bastille)

“do you understand that we will never be the same again? / the future’s in our hands and we will never be the same again” (things we lost in the fire - bastille)

not sure how they both ended up being lyrics from two bastille songs in the same album 💀

also i think this would be a good tag game so why not make it one?

What are your thoughts on the whole sham ducky Bhai fiasco? Mangobaaz recently released an interview with moroo on the topic - that's how I found out about it all as I don't follow the other 2 YouTubers. Ducky bhais video was apparently trending as #1 on YouTube in Pakistan for 1.5 weeks

I’ve already made a post about Sham (and western youtubers in general) being toxic. So I was overjoyed that Scam was called out on plagiarism, deleting criticism and defaming his loved ones and the audience for views. I don’t think it would have been this huge if the “tiny youtubers” comment wasn’t made. It was insensitive and rightfully called out. 

I’m not a Ducky Bhai follower or supporter because he has continuously used homophobic and sexist slurs in his videos but I’m glad Sham was exposed for his idiotic behavior.

The Indigenous Heritage of Northshore

History

Before Northshore, there was an Indigenous community called the Turrbal people - the traditional owners of custodians of the Brisbane district. They named the land that Hamilton resides on "Yerrool", which is right behind Moroo-Mooroolbin, meaning "long nose" (Meston, 2021).

Respecting land

Because our project will be on Turrbal Land, we must respect their wishes and follow some protocols to enable the community to feel as comfortable as possible of our usage of their property. In the words of Dr Terri Janke, “While works by individual artists are protected by copyright, Australia does not yet have a law that prevents alteration, distortion or misuse of traditional symbols, songs, dances, performances and story that may be part of the heritage of particular Indigenous language groups. This is where the Australia Council for the Arts’ Protocols for using First Nations Intellectual and Cultural Property in the Arts comes in. The protocols provide a pathway for collaborations and creation of new Indigenous work.”(Janke, 2019). We must do our very best to let the community feel welcomed instead of brushed aside, which a lot of other areas do to the Indigenous peoples.

These protocols show the developers and clients how to engage with Indigenous cultural material, and the interactions between us and the communities. It reinforces the sharing and inciting of cultural values in an ethical manner (Janke, 2019).

The Protocols in practice include:

Respect

- Welcome to Country

- Acknowledgement of Country

- Embracing Diversity

- Representation

- Living and Evolving Cultures

- Cultural Safety

 

Self-determination

- Indigenous leadership in Projects

 

Communication, consultation and consent

- Identifying people in authority

- communication and consultation - methods and processes

- obtaining free, prior and informed consent

- common consultation and consent issues

 

Interpretation

- Cultural contexts and perspectives

- Adapting Indigenous content

 

Cultural Integrity and authenticity

- use of terminologies

- Integrity - right of creators and communities

- Authenticity

 

Secrecy and confidentiality

- Sacred and secret material

- Representations of deceased people

- Personal privacy

- Use of life stories

 

Attribution
