I've been watching Skip Intro's copaganda videos: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2ac8vr2QyTdlWwd8OQIc1it6bAfMGPPC
Something that comes up in some of the videos is that white people in the U.S. have far fewer interactions with the police and the legal system*, so media about the police shapes our views of the police to a strong degree.
*This tracks with my personal experiences as a white person. The police simply do not patrol my neighborhood. Crimes get committed here even, but the response is never that the neighborhood needs to be patrolled. Because I live in the suburbs.
People really need to realise that ā€œmedia can affect real lifeā€ doesnā€™t mean ā€œthis character does bad things so people will read that and start doing bad thingsā€ and actually means ā€œideas in fiction especially stereotypes about minority groups can affect how the reader views those groups, an authors implicit prejudices can be passed on to readersā€

Mix Sahaphap gets to perform (and has the performance chops to perform) in a style that Iā€™ve never seen any other male actor get to embody. Mix gets to unironically play the #strongfemalecharacter. The Beatrice, the Elizabeth Bennett, the Jo March. Strong-willed, emotional, kind-hearted.
Not only do the plot points line up, but Mix, more than any BL actor Iā€™ve seen, fully leans into the embodiment of this archetype. In his roles, he rolls his eyes, pouts, banters flirtatiously, softens his posture and expression at small details. He doesnā€™t over-exaggerate and imposition other characters but his face also doesnā€™t hold back his characterā€™s thoughts and judgments. And when the moments arrive, he lets all the hurt and anguish pour out in shatters of tears and visible heartbreakā€”the star-counting scene, anyone????ā€”in a way that harkens to the operatic emotionality of well-done melodramas, soap-operas, and their contemporary Thai equivalent of Lakorn. Itā€™s only that these have never been menā€™s roles in those.
Tumblr media
Itā€™s no surprise that one of Mixā€™s rolesā€”Cupidā€™s Last Wishā€”is explicitly a gender body-swap, and Tian in A Tale of Thousand Stars is (albeit explicitly denied within the show) heavily connected to gender body-swapping. What Mix specializes in as an actor, and does exceptionally well, has been defined as feminine. To depict a kind of queer expression in this style is novel because itā€™s not camp, itā€™s not okama, itā€™s not a soft or femboy, itā€™s not a BL twink (Mix has been mostly excluded from the schoolyards and quads of the BL universe except for a role as a senior crush in Fish Upon the Sky). Itā€™s too sincere and too adult for any of that.
Tumblr media
In Moonlight Chicken we get to see, without the pretense of gendered mysticism, this performance styleā€™s seduction, warmth, wit, and explosiveness within the framework of a general gay form of expression. It says that this kind of femininity might just be a gay thing. Not all gay men exhibit it, obviouslyā€”queer men arenā€™t a monolith. Still, it gives us something to consider about how we observe performance of queerness on screen, especially in front of an audience that puts so much more emphasis on ships, heat, and pairing chemistry to assess how well they perform a BL role. Could we look for other features to judge performance of queerness instead of how well they kiss?
Seme and uke roles would be the major performance style categories loyal BL fans assess actors with, yet even within the archetype his characterā€™s fill within BL narratives, Mixā€™s performances differ from the typical uke depiction in BL because he really doesnā€™t perform them as passive. Rather, Mixā€™s characters and his portrayal of them are dynamic and demanding. It certainly fits certain stereotypes of ukes (Gilbert!) and their gay stereotype equivalent of bottoms as pillow princesses and brats. Mixā€™s characters, though, have more drive, agency, and compassion than that, and he plays them with all of those currents running underneath.
Tumblr media
We certainly have openly gay writer/director Aof Noppharnach to thank for writing this kind of queer character for Mix to play in Tian and Wen. But for Mixā€™s specific commitment to the performance starting off with his (debut!?) role in ATOTS, we first have Earth to thank for believing in Mixā€™s ability and recommending him to portray the role of Tian, and then Aofā€™s acceptance despite his differing initial expectations for the character. Mix, Earth, and Aof have all been open about how Mix in his personal life and nature holds a lot of similarities to both his role as Tian in ATOTS and Wen in Moonlight Chicken. Some people might knock points off his performances because heā€™s like them. But his relationship to the characters, rather than dampening my enthusiasm for Mixā€™s performances, helps me appreciate his willingness to give an authentic performance in a style that hasnā€™t been encouraged on screens previously. Itā€™s made more impactful that he chose to risk vulnerability to bring something personal that had previously been excluded from screens because of its gender deviance (and in broader society explicitly condemned). This doesnā€™t make a claim on Mixā€™s actual identity, but simply shows his willingness to understand and perform the expressions of his queer characters with an effort at empathy that many other actors would feel challenged to bring.
Some actors are chameleons, but some actors have a gift of a type within which they can explore depths and range that no one else can best. For me, thatā€™s what Mix does in his work when directors and casting understands his talent. Thereā€™s a BTS video of Mix actually fainting during a scene while in Earth/Phupaā€™s embrace on the mountain that immediately brought to mind the wildly famous final scene in the film Camille where Greta Garbo as Marguerite dies in her loverā€™s arms.
Tumblr media
For Mix, it was a serious incident due to regrettably extreme conditions and requiring the on-set paramedics, but these levels of theatrics, for me, are emblematic of what Mix is capable of as a performer, as well. After all, he had to faint in Phupaā€™s arms multiple times on purpose. Itā€™s the kinds of Old Hollywood and heightened sentimental romance realms Mix takes his performances to! Then he can turn around and make it look easy to take that same character into grounded quips or dedicated everyday tasks. It only takes writers, directors, and audiences willing to see that men can feel this way and act this way. Mix has paved the way.

ā€” YANDERE! MALEWIFE! GENSHIN AU part one | two | three | four
ā‡¢ alhaitham, kaveh, tighnari, cyno
introducing ! at the altar decorated by the blooming lotus flowers, your wrist is bound to your husband with a red string and a promise of togetherness. while the people dance and sing in celebration of the newlywed, his eyes are on you and you onlyā€” possessive through and through, even in parabandhana.
[ surpriseeeeeeee yea you did not expect this did you yeah neither did I. i just sat on my computer and decided to be productive. also did not include baizhu and mika for now cuz I got lazy. ]
warning ! yandere behavior, drĆŗgging, manipulation, mentions of locking you away and mĆŗrder
Tumblr media
ā€” ADMONISHING INSTRUCTION. alhaitham | Ų§Ł„Ł‡ŁŠŲ«Ł…
[ ā€œsure, sure, iā€™ll clean up after you go. hm? iā€™m not being lazy at all, just enjoying my peace and quiet.ā€]Ā 
ā‡¢ my boy is living the dream life. no nosy seniors, demanding bosses, and curious co-workers. just him and his hardworking partner and the freedom to do his research at his own time. when youā€™re around, he tends to slack off (though he denies it) but he does his part of the chores anyway, so you donā€™t really have any complaints. heā€™d already been living the cushy life before, but now this lifestyle is more than comfortable.
ā‡¢ he helps you out with your work when he sees you struggling, and he lets you use him as a soundboard to work out solutions. sometimes even lets you complain. keyword: sometimes. most of the time heā€™ll distract you with a movie or just bring you to the bed so the two of you can read a book together. unfortunately, his tolerance towards whining is very low (reminds him too much of a certain blonde), but he still loves you enough that heā€™s willing to let your stress out through other means.
ā‡¢ marriage seems to have made him a bit of a romantic, though heā€™ll tell you that heā€™s stayed the same as he was when he was still your boyfriend. whenever youā€™re squinting at your computer screen in frustration, youā€™ll be caught offguard when he presses a tender kiss to your temple and sets down a mug of coffee next to you. or while youā€™re talking about something or another as you eat, heā€™ll clasp your hands in his and press a chaste kiss to each knuckle. these gestures has you blushing and stammering all the time, reverting you back to the naive student you were when you met him. this makes him a bit smug, so you often hit him in embarrassment.
ā‡¢ he would never look down at you. marrying you means he has acknowledged you his equal, and to be fair he doesnā€™t really have a habit of looking down on others. however, when he sees some pesky flies fly a bit too close, he often gets too full of himself. someone trying to smooth talk you at the cafe? haithamā€™s not one for pda, but heā€™ll wrap a sturdy bicep around your waist and watch as the poor thing trembles from his gaze.Ā 
ā‡¢ haitham doesnā€™t always tell you this, but he admires you for a lot of things. but sometimes you get a bit tooā€¦ irrational, and he knows that he has to be the one to bring you down sometimes. youā€™re not a kid, so you should know better. besides, haithamā€™s always been the more rational between the two of you. sometimes bordering onā€¦heartless, but you never tell him that. you donā€™t have the heart to.
ā‡¢ heā€™s often the decision-maker, most of the time not even asking you what you want. he says itā€™s not about want, he has to take the rational decision for the both of you. youā€™ve always been a littleā€¦ dull. itā€™s an endearing trait, but itā€™s something that has to go away as you both age. he sees the hurt flash in your eyes when he tells you this, and he thinks he can make up for it with a gentle kiss between your pretty eyes. he loves you like his equal, really, but sometimes (most of the time) you need a good talking down to.
ā€œso youā€™ll continue to let your brother exploit you, despite everything heā€™s done to you in the past?ā€ haitham shuts his book and stares at you with a seemingly bored gaze. ā€œyou know you donā€™t need to give them that solicitation, right? heā€™s not worth it.ā€
ā€œitā€“ itā€™s not about him, haitham, believe me!ā€ you plead with him. ā€œiā€™m, iā€™m doing this for his wife, okay? she doesnā€™t deserve to deliver a baby in his dingy apartment with no professionals around. itā€™s not fair! just because my brother was a dĆ­ck doesnā€™t mean she deserves the cold shoulder too! have some compassion for once!ā€ he rolls his eyes and gets up, towering above some good inches. his eyes look down at you, but his hand rests heavy on your shoulder as if trying to calm you down. ā€œitā€™s not about compassion, dear. itā€™s about being rational. once your brother sees you softening, heā€™ll start asking for more and more and more and well, we know what kind of person you are.ā€ you open your mouth to retort, but he shakes his head. ā€œyouā€™re too soft, [y. name]. chasing around the affection of othersā€¦ you donā€™t have to do that anymore.ā€
[ ā€œthis is for the both of us. iā€™m sure you canā€™t tell now, but sooner or later, youā€™ll thank me.ā€ ]
Tumblr media
ā€” EMPYREAN REFLECTION. kaveh | Ś©Ų§ŁˆŁ‡
[ ā€œyouā€™re the ā€” hic!ā€” the best thingā€™s that ever happened to me! ofā€“ of course iā€™m crying! iā€™m not heartless!ā€ ]Ā 
ā‡¢ for kaveh, your marriage was both a blessing and a cause of distress to him. a blessing, of course, because what sane man would not want to get married to you! his darling, light of his life, the one who tolerates his flaws more than any other person on teyvat! but at the same time, he canā€™t just let you shoulder his burdens! he canā€™t give you the luxury you deserve to have, you donā€™t deserve to be saddled with his debt, itā€™sā€“ itā€™s just not fair!
ā‡¢ with kavehā€™s sense of aesthetics and talent for architecture, you two will have the prettiest home around! it is a must for this architect to gift you with the prettiest home youā€™ve ever laid eyes on. sure, he canā€™t give you the grandiose mansion that you deserve even with both of your savings joined, but a master architect will make the most of what he has. this is the place where heā€™ll make memories with you, where youā€™ll grow a family and your chiā€¦ children (?!??!!!!) will live. it has to be as beautiful as you.
ā‡¢ complains like youā€™d never believe. heā€™s always been chatty, but he gets even chattier after a disagreement with a client or a run-in with a certain someone or when he hears whispers of your horrendous workplace. to anyone else, his overdramatic flair might be a bit too much to handle, but you canā€™t help but listen with amusement as your husband drones on and on and on and embellishing his rants with over-the-top remarks. nevertheless, in the case that you do get weary, just press a kiss on his lipsā€” it will surely leave him an incoherent mess in no time.
ā‡¢ a bit too eager for your praise. itā€™s not like people donā€™t praise him all the time, but itā€™s only your approval that he cares for. when he makes a meal that heā€™s proud of, heā€™s squirming nervously in the seat across you as he watches you take bite after bite. when he finished his part of the chores, he tends to be a bit clingy with you as he tries to fish for compliments. itā€™s your choice to cave in so easily or play around with him, but when you do utter a compliment, know that youā€™ll be left with a gooey pile of mush cuddling into you.
ā‡¢ on the other hand, kaveh absolutely cannot handle fights with you. fighting is a normal thing between couples, but he gets so absolutely wrecked itā€™s unreal. your look of disappointment, the glare you gave him, the fed-up sigh when you push him away and say that you need some time away from himā€¦ they all drive him insane. he curses himself, wondering whyā€™d he have to go and open his stupid mouth and fuck everything up. youā€™re not wrong, never wrong, and it should be him to take the blame. the longer the fight, the more his wellness and self-confidence cracks. itā€™s a common sight to see him groveling on the ground, for your forgiveness, begging for you to notice him again. the sight is so pathetic that you canā€™t bear to look away.
ā‡¢ the most insecure husband to ever exist and grows even worse with every fight you two might have had in the past. anyone who approaches you has him tensing up and tightening his grip on you, but a raised brow from you has him reluctantly loosening his grip and shamefully looking away. heā€™s plagued with thoughts of you leaving (because why would you stay with a wreck like him?) and overthinks every friendly gesture you give towards anyone who isnā€™t him (is that how you smile with someone who isnā€™t a complete fool?). heā€™s a pushover and craves your love and attention the most. if you love being an asshole and having someone completely around your finger, thereā€™s no perfect husband to get more than kaveh.
ā€œkavehā€¦ā€ you start hesitantly, brows furrowed as you put a hand on his shoulder. ā€œkavehā€¦ thereā€™s really no need for you to do all this.ā€ but despite your gentle words, it only makes kaveh flinch and bury his weeping face even more into your chest. ā€œiā€™m sorry, iā€™m sorry, iā€™m sorry,ā€ he keeps whispering with a voice ragged from the amount of apologies heā€™s repeated. ā€œi wonā€™t do it again. whatever iā€™ve done please just forgive me. i canā€™t, i canā€™t stand it!ā€ he looks up at you and that pretty face of his is ruined with tears. ā€œplease come back to me. you donā€™t have to sleep at that inn anymore. i canā€™t handle you not being with me anymore.ā€ your grip on his shoulder tightens, and your expression seems to twist between a grimace and guilt. the only reason you stayed at an inn was because you were a coward, and you couldnā€™t handle watching kaveh break down as he beats himself up for a mistake that you caused. this fight was your fault to begin with, but the only one ruined was the innocent one. ā€œiā€¦ i forgive you, dear,ā€ you hushedly whisper, with the audacity of a man who did nothing but take advantage. ā€œi forgive you. no matter what youā€™ve done.ā€ and when he brightens up and smiles so prettily, your heart squeezes in your chest as he pulls you into a kiss sweeter than you deserve.
[ ā€œwhā€¦ what are you apologizing forā€¦? thereā€™s no need to look at me like thatā€¦! you can blame me all you like!ā€ ]
Tumblr media
ā€” VERDANT STRIDER. tighnari | Ų§Ł„Ų·ŲŗŁ†Ų±ŁŠ
[ ā€œonce again, i told you not to eat your bossā€™ baking! no, i donā€™t care if they looked nice! they. are. poisonous!ā€ ]
ā‡¢ heā€™s more at ease now that he doesnā€™t have to tolerate idiots who think eating poisonous mushrooms recklessly count as experiments or co-workers who tell him stupid jokes all the time. itā€™s a less stressful environment nowā€¦ at least, thatā€™s what he thinks. so why do you keep coming home barely alive?! youā€™ll find tighnari fussing over you and nagging at your officeā€™s poor working environment.
ā‡¢youā€™ll have the prettiest garden in the whole neighborhood, if not the whole world! the research data he can acquire from the plants in his backyard is limited, so itā€™s mostly a hobby of his. of course, he doesnā€™t just grow whatever there! thereā€™s tons of medicinal herbs growing there and thereā€™s a shed you both built where he can experiment wherever he likes. whenn youā€™re off work, you like to idle the time away in the garden while tighnari is hard at work on another of his concoctions. simply admiring his focused face is enough to put the stress of work behind you, and you think itā€™d be prettier if you tucked a flower behind his ear. but you never learn, do you? he launches off to another lecture about why you shouldnā€™t pluck flowers thoughtlessly while you daydream about his pretty face.
ā‡¢ please please please donā€™t bring him to any work parties, lest you want to see the entire world burn. he still has that dry sarcasm that you oh so love, but heā€™s ruthless when it comes to your boss and your more unpleasant co-workers. if any of them try to act chummy with you, he immediately raises a brow and gives them the side-eye. he combats whatever fake-ass comment they have with a dry retort, leaving you panicking and trying him to stop it. but no one stops tighnari in verbal combat, and before long heā€™s revealed your bossā€™ and co-workers' vulnerabilities and have them deflating like a balloon.
ā‡¢ tighnari always knows how to make the perfect brew, his teas always the perfect blend of both taste and remedy. itā€™s too bad though, that you always fall asleep before you can manage to finish a single pot. whenever you awake from a tea-induced slumber, your body feels strangely heavy but you canā€™t complain about the sleep. your husband is always the first thing you see from these naps, his fluffy tail wrapped around your legs and his big eyes staring intently at your face.
ā‡¢ whenever he mixes in the drugs in your food or tea, tighnariā€™s tail swishes back and forth as he begins thinking of your cute expressions while youā€™re half-sober. sometimes he doesnā€™t put the usual dose and instead just halves it, just to see you flailing to get a grip on your senses and reaching out to your oh-so-innocent husband for help. he often chastises himself for thisā€¦ dirty behavior, but the devil in his mind gleefully reminds him that this counts as research. the test subject just happened to be his trusting partner for life.
ā‡¢ tighnari isnā€™t above imprisonment. itā€™s less for the thought of protecting you and more for his personal benefit. he likes to tell himself this is strictly research, but he canā€™t deny the awestruck look on his face as he greedily eats up every expression of your drugged face. when you grasp onto his clothes and lean on him for supportā€¦ it makes him shudder with delight. youā€™re so cute when your system is laced with drugs, and even cuter when you look at him like heā€™s your entire world. he wants you to rely on himā€¦ and in turn, he wants to abuse that over reliance.
ā€œyou look better like this,ā€ he murmurs as he brushes your freshly bathed hair. your figure is slumped in your chair like a doll, which isnā€™t far from the truth from how he handles you like one. he holds you gently, like porcelain, but you donā€™t react. you are too knocked out from the dose he had slipped into your tea awhile ago. he leans into your face, tutting at the dark circles under your eyes. ā€œlook at thisā€¦ clear neglect of your health. i keep telling you to sleep, but you never listen to me, do you?ā€ he sighs before focusing his attention back to your hair. ā€œyouā€™re so stubborn sometimes, you know. i barely know what to do with you.ā€ he spends the next few moments in silence, rubbing cream into and ointments into your face. you smell slightly of lemongrass now, thanks to the bath heā€™s given you. tomorrow when you wake up, you will marvel at the softness of your skin and the clearness of your mind, before you throw yourself into another week of overwork. like always. tighnari regrets giving you the sleeping drug now. maybe he shouldā€™ve added a dose of the aphrodisiac drug heā€™s just finished. with the way his feline eyes zero into your blissful face and the eager swaying of his tail, he can just barely hold himself back now.
[ ā€œaaah, iā€™ve run out of your meds again. oh, donā€™t you worry, iā€™ll make you some more. itā€™s nice how your body is soā€¦ receptive to my medicine ā™”ā€ ]
Tumblr media
ā€” JUDICATOR OF SECRETS. cyno | ĪŗĻĻ‰Ī½Ā 
[ ā€œ... weā€™re marriedā€¦ ā€¦what? i honestly didnā€™t think iā€™d come this far.ā€ ]
ā‡¢while thereā€™s no other man you could imagine to spend the rest of your life with, youā€™re inwardly groaning about the amount of dad jokes you have to put up with later on in life. sure, you love cynoā€™s goofy lil personality, but you think you can only take too many stupid jokes before you go crazy. you voice this concern to cyno, who just gives you a reassuring hand on your shoulder and says he can handle you just fine if you do. youā€™re not quite sure what this implies.
ā‡¢ quite sulky, but he refuses to own up to the fact. sometimes you get a little distracted with one of the neighborhood children, start chatting up one of the kind neighbors, or meet one of your co-workers. you tend to get a little bit distracted by them, and while cyno believes that heā€™s not overly bothered by this, he admits that he is a little bit miffed about you not paying attention to them. he also gets pouty when work starts taking up of your time and you start to neglect him, so expect him to just shut the laptop close and demand you to eat dinner with him without rushing to get your job done.Ā 
ā‡¢ he used to scare the neighborhood kids away with just one look and you always had to comfort him and pat him on the back in sympathetic understanding. ā€œmaybe youā€™ll get them next time,ā€ you had joked, handing him an ice cream as he sulked on the parkā€™s bench. ā€œone of your jokes should do the trick.ā€ you really shouldnā€™t have suggested that, because after another trip to the park he stared those kids down with his same stoic expression and cracked one of the corniest jokes known to man. every kid looked at him like he was stupid. now no one takes him seriously. well, at least they like playing with him now???
ā‡¢ overprotective, like over overprotective. he knows you can handle going outside the house on your own, and hell, he might have no qualms with your workplace. but the more you complain, the more paranoid he gets until heā€™s staking out the site for himself. touchy co-workers? cruel bosses? he could easily have their corpses fed to the dogs. he is a protector of justice, after all, and what is justice but not killing those who lay a hand on their partner?
ā‡¢ itā€™s not very easy to just push him over the edge, but he can and has the will to lock you away. itā€™s the modern world, no oneā€™s going to have it out for a salary worker slaving day in and out for a corporation, but still. heā€™s made plenty of enemies when he was still in the force and thereā€™s a paranoia eating at him whenever you go out of the front door. when he does lock you away, heā€™s as gentle as he can be, even with the stench of blood all over him. this is all for your sake after all, and he couldnā€™t bear to see you hurt when he had the power of protecting you.
ā€œcy,ā€ you huff in exasperation, looking up from your laptop as he glares down at you from behind it. ā€œwhat in the world are you talking about? theyā€™re my co-worker, my superior. you canā€™t just tell me to stop talking to them. i need their help!ā€ ā€œwhat help could you possibly need from them when you have me?ā€ he huffs back, crossing his arms. ā€œiā€™m telling you. theyā€™re dangerous. iā€¦ i just know it, okay?ā€ ā€œwhat could a retired general possibly know about handling excel sheets?ā€ when his face falters, you sigh and shut the laptop closed. ā€œlook, i know you just want to protect me and i appreciate that, really. but come on, cy, donā€™t be unreasonable.ā€ the pressed line of his lips tells you that he has something against being called that, but you press on. ā€œthe company does background checks on their employees. itā€™s safe, i promise.ā€ you press a kiss on his cheek and smile at him. ā€œsit here and calm yourself down, okay? iā€™ll handle dinner tonight.ā€ he watches your back as you disappear into the kitchen, humming a bright tune that offsets the stormy look in his eyes. he could tell you all about his time in the workforceā€” the violations heā€™s made, the blood on his hands, and the enemies heā€™s madeā€” but he wonā€™t. not if it means breaking this beautiful life heā€™s created with you. but thatā€™s okay, thatā€™s fine. heā€™s been trained to adapt to the situation and to work with the shadows.
[ ā€œeven if you donā€™t have a care in the worldā€¦ iā€™ll be right behind you. wherever. whenever.ā€ ]

įƓā˜… MY HEART BEATS FOR YOU
Pairing: [BASSIST!] Scaramouche x [GUITARIST!] Reader
Genre: rivals/enemies to lovers, rivals to friends to lovers, fluff, crack (?), comedy, angst (?), slowburn, high school au, band au, modern au, social media au, smau
Synopsis: You're the lead guitarist for your band, Cāœ§LESTIA and Scaramouche is the bassist of 5WIRL. The two of your bands have a friendly rivalry, but you and Scaramouche don't. On top of being academic rivals, you and him have never been on good terms. Always one-upping each other in grades and in music. Even your bandmates have grown tired of your constant bickering with each other. But when your usual practice hub gets flooded, you and the rest of Cāœ§LESTIA are forced to find a new place to rehearse. So when 5WIRL offers to share their studio with you who are you to refuse? Of course, this forces you to spend time with your sworn rival whether you like it or not. But maybe the two of you can overcome your differences and actually be friends?
Or maybe even more?

THERE ARE not many things that can sway your interest ever since the "incident", but in spite of that, you pushed forward. you are now the owner of the biggest bakery chain in your city, consistently seeing couples and catering to them as such. you've been a big host at weddings, events for celebrities, and even a big support for your friends and family. you've even earned yourself a niche following as well by how sweet you are to everybody around you. but, even with your kindness, you don't have a particular spark that keeps you going anymore these days. that is until one of your employees starts suggesting you write love letters to customers who request your services. at first you thought it was a horrible idea that could easily turn into trouble, but that was until you were tasked with writing one to your own (very very famous) ex-boyfriend.

Do you play genshin impact or honkak a
Star rail?
I don't play Honkai, but I've just started looking into Genshin Impact's story (someone described Neuvillette's character to me and I was like. hmm. HMM.) I haven't gotten far yet -- really JUST started looking at it -- but I'm looking forward to more! :D
(I know almost nothing about these characters yet, I'm probably drawing them SUPER wrong, sorry)
