#Increase fatigue

[tumble-tv]

Had to leave school early again because the pain was making me nauseous, and I couldn't focus, and I was struggling to stand for more than like 30 seconds. I hate this. I missed a cool assembly because of this. I missed my favorite class because of this. I'm so tired.

I'm going to vacuum my apartment, which means I'll be out for the next few days.

Keep me in your thoughts.

whagghh can we see that hu tao xingqiu snippet wip?

Xingqiu slumps onto his desk, defeated. The deadline for a special volume of A Legend of Sword is scarcely three nights away, and yet he still hasn’t progressed past the first fight sequence. Every word he pens is inadequate, and the brush in his hand is crooked and sluggish, and another colorless midnight has almost passed, and still, he has nothing to show for it. His valiant unnamed hero claims a narrow victory against the Tai-Shogun’s cyborg samurai, and then—and then…

When Xingqiu’s eyelids flutter open again, the lantern by his window has dimmed considerably… He cannot have dozed off for that long, can he?

At least his father and brother are asleep. It would be best if they never find out about his sleeping schedule.

The shadow of his hand is so sharp against his lantern-lit draft. Xingqiu traces the ridges of his knuckles, a flickering black silhouette on the page beneath it. From this angle, it almost looks like a dragon’s mouth, one of the Natlan kinds… maybe he’ll be able to see one in person someday…

His eyes shut slowly.

ermmmmm embarrassing... this was supposed to be published with the snippet (so i could've just given you the full snippet since it isn't long anyways) but it's ballooned rather fast and I don't want to wait. also yeah this has no hu tao mentioned because unfortunately she comes in right after this lmao. also the hu tao xingqiu dialogue inspiration that struck me at 2 am yesterday left so now i have to reinvent the wheel (<- bad at banter). anyways i hope you enjoy <3 this idea was kinda random haha, i just wanted to write something from xingqiu's perspective and show how they bounce off each other really well LOL nothing much to it. I was going to change it into xingqiu + venti writers block (venti is one of the muses fr) but i haven't watched irodori thoroughly and decided to keep hu tao. anyways yeah hopefully i finish this thing soon lol

I am miserable, but I'm pretty sure it's "just" a flare + allergies. I tested negative for covid, and I didn't really think I was sick-sick, but I wanted to check just in case. I mean, I guess I could still have a cold that isn't covid, but I don't think so.

Anyway. Cross your fingers for me because I want soup but I'm not capable of making any from scratch (spoon debt and I don't have ingredients), so I'm hoping I have something besides a can of some creamy variety.

Gonna lose my mind with all this fucking annoying leafblowing and shit outside

I get that noise is an expected occurrence, that's not my complaint, my complaint is that the vibration/low droning sound makes me want to hit my head against the wall and scream

Today I was able to stand for a new limit of 50 minutes when my physical symptoms are at their most minimal in a controlled environment. So we know 50 is the max now we're trying to reach 1 hour. I feel like I could've reached an hour with how I was feeling but the muscle endurance in my legs wouldn't have let me. I'm reaching a weird stage in my progress where its been so long since my body has had to support my weight for that long the blood pooling in my soles irritates and hurts like hell the days afterwards so now i'm rubbing the my feet like i've worked a hard day to prevent the inflammation from impeding my progress. I feel tho if I can reach that 1 hour limit I can reach longer times with practice. Its been years since i've stood for so long i'm really excited to keep practicing and hopefully keep improving. Last year around this time I was barely reaching 35 maybe 40 if I really really pushed- during my least symptomatic hours. Those extra 10 minutes might not mean much but since the beginning of my illness I never imagined i'd be able to make it to 30 let alone 50. I felt pretty good this session too which is the most important part, I feel like its the lack of muscular stamina that held me back rather than cardiac endurance. Anyway update is over, if I reach that 1 hour time it'll be a happy day I cannot tell how long it'll take me to reach that time but with some more practice I think a few weeks or months at least i'd imagine maybe even sooner. I'm so happy lets go! Dreams do come true at least 4 me ehehe!

Some fun facts about Ashe post-Second Verse:

- his regeneration is stupid good atm, almost on par with Vallis’. However he now requires a lot more blood to stay sane if he does get badly injured

- he gets fatigued and absentminded a lot easier at the moment, though that’ll improve once the eldritch influence has dissipated. This can also be alleviated with drinking more blood, but since Ashe doesn’t get any cravings / feels particularly hungry at the moment he’s not aware of this

- he can also drink ink with no side effects while under the horrorterror’s influence, and like both Vallis and Lucy (that time he got possessed) his bodily fluids currently contain high amounts of ink in them. He isn’t aware of either of these things rn

Vallis did not do as good of a job as he thought. Yeah he managed to successfully revive Ashe from Full Brain-Melt and stop him from getting possessed / completely lose his mind to horrorterror influence, he still (unintentionally) fucked him up quite a bit. But Vallis didn’t recognize that because Ashe’s mind resembled what he thinks is a nice sounding brain :)

Not that this is going to stop their re-kindled friendship, Ashe is just going to be a lot more cautious next time
