COLLAB, with @rkgray : lyrics & translation! 

PEACE SIGN, 僕のヒーローアカデミア

tugs on the strings, melodies of sweet things. talent unlocked: guitar!

the genius idea that gray proposed to her of creating a wondrous collab, displaying her gift for playing the guitar. the time that has passed by since she last strung the chords have been a couple of weeks. despite the fact that she isn’t too concerned of slipping up, considering she’s sat for a good number of days on this project. the language of the song is her native tongue, japanese, which is easy to learn the lyrics of. she’s got the lyrics but meshing the timing with the guitar play is what she’s predominantly focused her concentration on.

she’s not singing alone so she doesn’t reserve hesitations or fears, that could obstruct the magic of the art of music. so she gifts a smile to the camera every now and then, for the world is watching her. many eyes are locked to her, but she keeps singing to the best of her ability.

いつか僕らの上をスレスレに 通りすぎていったあの飛行機を 不思議なくらいに憶えてる 意味もないのに なぜか 不甲斐なくて泣いた日の夜に ただ強くなりたいと願ってた そのために必要な勇気を 探し求めていた

残酷な運命が定まっているとして それがいつの日か僕の前に現れるとして ただ一瞬 この一瞬 息ができるなら どうでもいいと思えた その心を もう一度 遠くへ行け 遠くへ行けと 僕の中で誰かが歌う どうしようもないほど熱烈に いつだって目を腫らした君が二度と 悲しまないように笑える そんなヒーローになるための歌 さらば掲げろ ピースサイン 転がっていくストーリーを gray is playing absolutely well, sakura has to keep up to the pace so that the instrumentals of both of their instruments intertwine, isn’t off by a single second. her fingers strum the chords graciously, successive in each note that comes along throughout the duration of the sing. then, it’s also the part where she has to project her singing again.

「守りたい」だなんて言えるほど 君が弱くはないの分かってた それ以上に僕は弱くてさ 君が大事だったんだ

「独りで生きていくんだ」なんてさ 口をついて叫んだあの日から 変わっていく僕を笑えばいい 独りが怖い僕を

蹴飛ばして 噛み付いて 息もできなくて 騒ぐ頭と 腹の奥が ぐしゃぐしゃになったって 衒いも外連も消えてしまうくらいに 今は触っていたいんだ 君の心に

sakura is not an opera singer, merely an average gal with a soft tone to her voice that’s pleasant to the ear. she’s lived with the opinion of herself to be a good rapper, decent dancer and singer. by this notion, she strives to work hard and better her musicianship. the breaking high note from what she had originally hard is not one she follows. so she trusts in her comfort zone so that her voice doesn’t scatter in ranges of off-pitch.

僕たちはきっといつか 遠く離れた太陽にすら手が届いて 夜明け前を手に入れて笑おう そうやって青く燃える色に染まり おぼろげな街の向こうへ 手をつないで走っていけるはずだ 君と未来を盗み描く 捻りのないストーリーを

カサブタだらけ荒くれた日々が 削り削られ 擦切れた今が 君の言葉で蘇る 鮮やかにも 現れてく

蛹のままで 眠る魂も 食べかけのまま 捨てたあの夢を もう一度 取り戻せ she catches her breath in the moments where there are gaps within the lyrics to hold her voice control. she’s realised that breathing control is an important technique in singing but has not perfected this feature entirely. the momentum of the song is one that suits her timbre, low and gentle to the ears. gray keeps going on with the guitar, his consistency has sakura at shock at the undying effort and will he has.

もう一度 遠くへ行け 遠くへ行けと 僕の中で誰かが歌う どうしようもないほど熱烈に いつだって目を腫らした君が二度と 悲しまないように笑える そんなヒーローになるための歌 さらば掲げろ ピースサイン 転がっていくストーリーを 君と未来を盗み描く 捻りのないストーリーを the instruments have come to an end, sakura stops her hand and makes a peace sign with her two fingers. “thank you so much, we had fun! bye bye guys! hope to see you next time!” she has an enormous but friendly smile, bowing her head courtesly as she video recording fades.

don't go...

pairings: xiao x gn!reader

warnings: xiao has a autophobia [fear of the reader abandoning them/being alone], mentions xiao past, mentions of death. other than that, it's pretty much fully fluff!

notes: written for @xiaoslxt and @adalynn-is-lost's "fear" event! hope you all enjoy <3

i feel like xiao would be tough and emo all the time, but on some rare occations when he's alone with you, his cold facade would break and he'd become really clingy...

[more of the fanfic under the cut]

one particularly rainy day, you were at wangshu inn, cuddling with xiao. you knew that xiao disliked rainy days- they were a constant reminder that the other yaksha had died, leaving him remaining, alone, without anyone else to comfort him. it was days like this that you could feel his hold on your shoulder tightening.

he never truly admitted it, but... he was scared. terrified, even, of you leaving him, like how everyone else in the past has also left him. his master, the other yaksha... they all had faded away as time passed, leaving him alone.

"xiao... can i get up to get some water?" your voice comes out as a shock to the silence. he looks down at you, sleepy eyes fluttering open.

"...please don't go..." he whined, snuggling his head into the crook of your neck. "..don't go like everyone else did...."

you sighed. he was always like this, ever since he told you about how he'd lost everyone in the past. he had every right to be the way he was right now. "shh... its only for a little bit, i promise i'll only go for a minute..."

"if you're going, then i'm going with you." xiao pouted. you laughed, intertwining your fingers in his, taking your other hand to ruffle up his hair and then giving a small kiss.

"lets go, and i'll see if the chef can whip up some almond tofu for you."

when you came back from your little round trip around the wangshu inn, the rain had stopped so you and xiao went to the balcony. the sky was clear, and you could clearly see the beautiful sunset illuminate the sky in hues of blue, red, pink and orange, as you leaned your head onto xiao's shoulder.

"don't you dare leave me." you heard him say, his voice sounding strained and tight.

"i wouldn't dare dream of it," you replied, kissing the top of his head. "i promise i won't leave you for as long as im alive."

xiao held you closer, the unspoken questions looming over both of you - what if you weren't alive? what would happen then?

he sighed, basking in your warmth and cherishing the moment, but the thought of you dying still raced through. if he was a mortal, he would've been able to live every day with you. he'd be able to go with you.... and not stay forever alive, in a way that made his immortality seem like a curse. ha! as if it were ever a blessing to begin with... he laughed to himself. this curse of immortality only made him lose the ones he cherished with no end. he watched as your lean figure stood up and stood with your hands propped against the railing, a perfect silhouette against the sinking sun. he sighed, walked up and joined you, your figures decorating the setting sun.

"i'm not leaving anytime soon, dummy. it'll be a long day in hell until they can get me away from you."

Fear is an emotion induced by perceived danger or threat, which causes physiological changes and ultimately behavioral changes, such as mounting an aggressive response or fleeing the threat.

thank you for the tag, hazel!! <3

never tried this style of writing before, but lets give it a try!

About: Fischl

"You mean, *ahem* the Prinzessin der Verurteilung? *giggles*

"Fischl is remarkable. I don't know how she manages to turn into Oz so fluidly in combat, then summon him, and deal damage on her own. She's truly talented! I wish I could hold an image like her sometimes... Oh! What did you want to know again?"

About: Xiao

"Oh, do you mean Alatus? Hehe, he might seem all dark and brooding on the outside, but he's very kind once you get to know him. There's been many times where he'd let me put a flower crown I made on him..."

Elemental Burst

"What's wrong? Underestimated me?"

"Like a mouse to the mousetrap."

"Like a flytrap catches their prey~"

"Don't get my books dirty. Please."

Elemental Skill

"The best defense is the best offense."

"Heal. Not you though, you can die."

"Arise, my plant friends."

Low HP (myself)

"Oh dear! Time to get serious..."

"Calling me weak was the last thing you'll do."

"You'll pay for this, you little--"

Low HP (ally)

"Wow, you're weak... It's good I'm a healer, or you'd be dead by now."

"Can I go back to sleep after healing you? ...No? Ok..."

When it's raining

"I love the rain. It soothes my bad feelings-- all bad things happen to me on sunny days, anyways. We better find someplace to hide though-- I don't want to get my books wet."

Sprinting

"Do we have do run? Seriously?"

Opening Chests

"Hm... what do we have here? Interesting... very interesting."

"I wonder where this came from! What era? Who used it?"

"Goodness, where will I put all these things?"

new tag game! if this flops, pretend you see nothing lol

if your tumblr personality was a playable character in genshin, what would be your voiceline for:

about [insert your favorite character(s)]

elemental skill

elemental burst

low hp (yourself + ally)

when it's [insert your least favorite weather]

alternatively, it could be your oc, but i personally feel it's more interesting if you imagine yourself in this position lol

about zhongli

"listen. if zhongli has million fans - which is very likely, i mean if you stop and eavesdrop the ladies talking in liyue harbor, there's a 50:50 chance they're fangirling about a certain wangsheng funeral parlor - then i'm one of them.

if zhongli has one fan - less likely but okay whatever helps you sleep at night i guess - then i'm THAT ONE.

if zhongli has no fans, that means i'm dead and teyvat has collapsed on itself creating sentient monster that had single-handedly sucked in all life forms and the world as we know it has ended."

elemental skill

"*uncomfortable giggle* kindly fuck off, please and thank you!"

elemental burst

"*groans* oh my archons won't you just die already?!"

low hp

"no... i can't...... not before i see him.... just one last time........."

ally on low hp (specifically triggered when it's zhongli/xiao/kazuha)

"*scandalized gasp* HOW. FUCKING. DARE. YOU!!!!!!!"

when it's sunny

"no no no no! rain, come back, why have you forsaken me!!! *whines*"
