listen listen ok i love age gap stuff as much as the next fujo but in zhongven's case the WAY funnier and more accurate dynamic is college prof. zhongli and the guy everyone thinks is his undergrad (at worst) or TA (at best) but who is actually a 36 year old fellow teacher from another university. every time venti visits zhongli on campus for a quickie to bring him lunch, zhongli has to put up with a swirl of rumors about his scandalous relationship with a babyfaced newly-18 year old. students keep showing up after class thinking they can flirt their way out of his notoriously difficult 10 page final exam. his reputation with most of his fellow teachers is so strained and awkward.

and venti is a year older than him.

the thing is, it's not an act of spite for me.

it's not an act of revolution or protest. and maybe for other it is out of spite and that's okay, we all have different mindsets, but i am not alive out of spite.

it's not an act of protest for me to keep living. it isn't an act of revolution for me. it isn't something i do out of spite, hell, i don't have enough spite in me for that. it's not spite that stops me from Doing It.

it's remembering. just,,, just remembering.

it's remembering the first time i introduced myself with "robyn", it's remembering sitting with my friends and changing my pronouns online as we ate lunch - pasta, beans, and vegan cheese from my bag. an absolute staple at my sixth form. just a few clicks of some buttons but it felt massive. big. important.

it's remembering how my school found out my name. i hadn't told them, only my friends knew, and we were sat in english class grouping up for a project and my friend said "robyn's with us". there was a few seconds of confused silence until i raised my hand and then our teacher just nodded and carried on. we got some essays back that same day, she'd crossed out my deadname and corrected it. we never spoke about it in any depth, but i hope she knows how much that meant to me. i hope she knows that my very quiet "thank you" doesn't even begin to cover it.

it's remembering my first gender appointment and the trans woman in the waiting room who sat with me and told me everything to expect. she walked me through absolutely everything as i sat there biting my nails, and she stayed there until my appointment ended to ask me how it went. we haven't seen each other since but we text sometimes. she's coming to see me when i go in for top surgery next month.

it's remembering the way i set my phone up when i applied my first dose of T, how i lent it against a bottle of antibac spray on a shitty bookshelf in my crappy homeless shelter. how i had to cut the first four minutes because i was just standing there holding the box, and how i sent that video to the family i had no contact with and they had nothing but love for Me.

it's remembering my first haircut at a barbers, my first list of names, the first deed poll in my hands and the first empty bottle of T, and every one that followed, my first binder, my first roll of tape.

it's the first time i got introduced as a boyfriend, as a brother, as a son. it's remembering the first time i saw my sister after everything went down and she yelled "ROBYN!!!" from across the street and jumped into her big brother's arms even though she was 12 and farrrr too cool for all that mhm.

it's remembering every nod on the street as i pass another trans person and for those couple of seconds, we See each other and we Get It and we aren't so alone. it's the soft smiles in the women's restroom on a night out and the compliments of my hair or my makeup, how we wash our hands together and get drinks together after. it's every customer that says "cheers lad", every time they throw out a simple "he" like it's something so casual. like it was never even a question. it's the optician leading me to the men's stands and pointing out ones that would look good on me. it's the bouncers at clubs who look at my ID and it's that one specific bouncer who looked between me and the photo and said "well done" before letting me and it's just two words but it's remembering that. well done.

it's hope, really.

because i remember every single first, and second, and third. and i remember how easy it all felt - breathing, after i figured it out and everything fell into place. like i'd been walking through life with one side of my nose blocked and i didn't even know until i signed that deed poll.

and i know it will come back. i know it will. that happiness and that joy and that easeee i first felt. i know that's going to come back. at some point, it will come back.

and if, until then, the nods i share with trans people on the street feel more like matching grimaces? then i'm just glad to have been someone to share it with for a few seconds. a few seconds of recognition as we pass on opposite sides, and maybe a glance back to remind myself that we're never really alone.

i'm not staying alive out of spite. it's gonna come back. i know it will, i'm staying alive to see that. i'm staying alive to see it.

from the kiss meme -- heiji & shinichi, nape, requested by @birdmenmanga :3c!

i was like. how tf would they even get in a situation where someone could land a nape kiss. because of course things have to Make Sequential Sense and not just happen or whatever (guy who cant let things be) so it turned into a little thing. i think reviewing brutal murder cases on the couch as a little domestic bonding thing would be really cute actually (deranged)

thanks for requesting!! its really fun to get an idea that tickles ye olde creative neurons and then drawing towards a goal is fun/satisfying rather than a penance (wandering lost in the woods without a map and the sun is setting and the bugs are biting... itsdark.png) ^_^

this is the best meta surrounding the aftermath of HI I’ve ever seen. short, yet spot on analysis of both characters and their differences and coincidentally, it’s from gojo’s VA. thank god these people know their characters unlike everyone else in this fandom.

omg what about siren! reader and sea monster/mermaid! foul legacy?

i like that theory that sirens are beautiful because they need to lure sailors while mermaids are monstrous as they want to be left alone. i can imagine legacy hunting a whale for sport and then presenting it to reader as a courtship offering. legacy is intimidated by the beautiful siren as they regard the gift and then swim away to their cove and legacy thinks their offer has been rejected. but then the next day, reader gives legacy a human they hunted. i can also imagine they give each other gifts from sunken ships because they think "ooh shiny...perfect for mate!"

ohhh my goodness, it seems that great minds think alike because this is wonderful and adorable!!!!

sirens and sea monsters are usually quite distant from each other, not antagonistic but also not close enough to justify stopping in the other species' territory for a rest. it's entirely by chance that you and Foul Legacy happen to live near each other, generally staying out of the way until Legacy catches the tail end of your haunting yet beautiful song, his crystalline eye widening as he tilts his head to listen. there's screaming and a horrible crunching sound when the melody ends, a nearby ship ramming into sharp rocks and crumbling to the seafloor as you swim after it with an eerie, gleeful laugh. Legacy's heart flutters as his scaled tail waves behind him, and he quickly turns and swims off to hunt down the perfect courting gift, just for you

he's incredibly nervous when he ventures into your territory, a dead whale clutched in his claws. you perk up when you see the sea monster swimming towards you, stopping a few meters away and gingerly pushing the whale towards you, letting out a meek chirp that doesn't match his bestial appearance as you inspect the gift carefully. his wing-like fins droop when you flick your tail and swim back into the grotto you call your home, only to flutter in surprise when you return, proudly dragging a drowned human behind you to present to him. Legacy trills in fascination, swimming in circles around you as you also show him the various treasures you've collected from sunken ships and drape a glittery necklace over his horns. he purrs, claws twitching to hold you and hug you close, but he settles for tentatively twining his tail with yours in a silent request. his purrs grow louder when you return the gesture, accepting his courtship, and Legacy's bioluminescence glows brighter out of sheer delight

༺ Day 81▪︎ 20 Left

ALttP Zelda is the leader of the seven maidens once they take the title of Sages, but she actually wishes she could travel Hyrule and beyond much like Link. She has always cared a lot about her kingdom (to the point where she often assisted her father in royal matters when she was younger), but she wasn't allowed to go very far. This definitely worsens after the events of the game, but every so often she will disappear to a certain orchard.
