Thanks lucky :D man I love having a frame of reference for how bad I am at replying to people cause itâs been months since I graduated lol. You know what sucks, I have this recurring dream that Iâm back in high school but I didnât attend a class and Iâm having my end of year panic of, what the fuck do I do. I didnât go to this class at all. I didnât do the assignments or anything and Iâm gonna fail. Then Iâll wake up in a panic only to realize that Iâm not even in school anymore. but I did not have cake when I graduated but I did have cake yesterday so Iâll pretend that counts. But grats on Canadian aether :D can you feel the better winds? Honestly I think out of all the anemo characters, Kazuha is my favourite.

synopsis: in which you friendzone them to protect your feelings, ignorant to the way they feel about you
characters: diluc, xiao, and kaveh x gn! reader (separately)
warnings: angst to fluff, reverse hurt/comfort, , slight swearing (i think), mentions of alcohol/ being drunk, spoilers for kavehâs backstory, kavehâs part is actually so long iâm so sorry
notes: got the idea for this out of the blue, but really liked it! i had a lot of fun writing these and would honestly be down to make a part two if you guys want it. also kavehâs part was written before he was officially released this patch, so if anything is inaccurate, i apologize!
Diluc:
When Diluc had asked you to attend an event at his house in honor of the winery, you hadnât expected it to be so extravagant. Though, perhaps it was because it was the first time you had ever been to his house. Either way, you were in awe at the sheer luxuriousness everything seemed to possess.
âWow, I seriously cannot believe youâve never invited me to your house before,â you tease as your eyes glanced around the room. The dining table was huge and lined with various dishes you didnât even know existed. Not to mention what the entire house looked like in general. You were too scared to touch anything in fear of it breaking.
âI did invite you over â several times, if you can recall. But according to you, youâre just so busy you never have the time,â the red haired male corrected you as he moved slightly behind you to guide you across the room, shoulders bumping together every so often.
âWell if I had known you were living like this maybe I wouldâve made the time,â you joked, intentionally bumping your shoulder into his as you threw a smile toward him. His eyes averted themselves from your face and smiled off into the distance, completely ignoring your jests about his wealth.
The two of you had continued to joke around with each other playfully as he walked you around his house to give you a tour of sorts. You had noticed all the people around as you walked, all laughing and enjoying the delicious food and wine Diluc had provided. Even Kaeya was here, you noted to your own surprise, seemingly catching up with some of the maids.
âOh, I almost forgot, thereâs someone Iâd like you to meet,â Diluc interrupted your moment to observe. His hand moved to the lower half of your back to guide you in the direction of blonde haired woman in maid attire. Your hand shook hers as Diluc introduced her to you, âThis is Adelinde, the head housemaid of the winery.â
You smiled and told her your name, âItâs a pleasure to meet you, Iâm Dilucâs best friend.â
âOh,â she said strangely, as if you had said something wrong. Almost seamlessly, Adelinde covered up her tone as she spoke again, âAhem, itâs a pleasure to meet you as well. Please do enjoy yourselves tonight and let me know if you need anything.â
Diluc cleared his throat and put his hand around your shoulders as you said your goodbyes. Although, the second she was out of your sights, he dropped it, âSo, how about some food?â
You hesitated, sensing something was wrong. His smile looked stiff, like it wasnât quite reaching his eyes. You could almost sense desperation within his tone, like he didnât want you to start your usual interrogation when you thought something was wrong, âOh um, sure.â
He walked you over to the table standing next to your side, but didnât dare to put a hand on you like usual. It wasnât something you often paid any attention toward, but now it just felt weird â cold even.
âIâll go grab you some fresh wine from the cellar, take whatever youâd like,â Diluc said quickly before rushing away. Your brow furrowed as you watched him disappear from your sight.
âWhatâs with the frown?â a silk voice asked. Your eyes snapped up to meet the blue haired man you knew to be Dilucâs brother, Kaeya.
âLong time no see, Kaeya,â you said, turning your attention back to the food as you served yourself a plate. Kaeya grabbed one too and began filling it as well.
âOh, you should try these, theyâre delicious,â he said as he placed a small dessert on your plate, âbut donât tell Diluc I said that. Canât have him thinking I like his baking or anything.â
He continued as he grabbed himself another glass of wine off the table next to the food, âAnyway, whatâs up with the gloom expression? Donât tell me Diluc hurt your feelings?â
âNo,â you grumble. It had been awhile since you had last seen Kaeya. Not that it was on purpose, because honestly, you never had a problem with him like Diluc did. Time just didnât seem to allow the two of you to meet aside from a few times a year. âIf anything, it was the other way around. Problem is, I donât know what I did.â
âWell if itâs any consolation, Diluc is very fond of yââ
âKaeya. Leave them alone,â Diluc interrupts with an annoyed look, shooing Kaeya away. Kaeya leaves without a word. A sly expression was on his face, hoping you would catch on to what he was trying to tell you.
Diluc held the bottle of wine in front of him, silently offering you some. You nodded your head and he poured you a glass before making another excuse to walk off again. The same thing seems to happen a few more times before you reach the end of the night. What had started off as a fun event for the two of you to enjoy, seemed to trickle into nothing but misery for the both of you.
The walk home was quiet. Honestly, you werenât even sure why he had offered to walk you home if he was just going to stay silent the entire time, âYou didnât have to walk me home if youâre just gonna have to walk all the way back, yâknow?â
âItâs fine,â he said curtly, not even making eye contact with you, âI have to go to Angelâs Share anyway. Thereâs some paperwork I have to pick up.â
âOh.â
Itâs silent again for the next ten minutes of the walk. It isnât until youâre approaching the bridge to the city that you speak up again, âDiluc?â
âYeah?â
You sighed and stopped walking, âListenâŚdid I maybe, I donât know, say or do something to upset you? Because if I did, Iâm really sorry and I just want things to not be awkward between us.â
You could tell he was contemplating not answering you by the frustrated expression on his face. His mouth opened and closed a few times before he finally spoke, still staring somberly off into the distance, âAnswer this honestly. What are we? What is this?â His hands gestured between you and him as he spoke. His tone is rushed and thereâs bitterness behind it.
âWell, weâre friendsâŚarenât we?â you carefully asked, almost questioning yourself.
âThatâs the problem,â Diluc finally cracked, âI donât want to be just friends. This entire time I thought that maybe there was something more than that between usâŚbut I suppose I was wrong.â
Your eyes widened and your hands moved to grip tightly around his own before he could walk away from you again, âWhy didnât you say anything? I couldâve told you I felt the same if you had just, I donât know? Said something about it? How was I supposed to know you had feelings for me?â
âIâm sorry, what? So you do feel the same way?â
You put two and two together and a teasing smiled made itâs way back to your face,âArchons, was this all because I introduced myself as your best friend to Adelinde?â
âWhat? No, of course not,â Diluc adamantly denied your accusation. He grabbed your hand and began to pull you away while you burst out laughing at the realization, âYouâve had too much to drink.â
âNo! I barely drank anything, you liar,â you punched his shoulder, âAdmit it, you were upset you got friendzoned and ââ
Diluc turned around swiftly, pulled you toward him and placed his lips on yours within a matter of seconds, effectively shutting you up. His fingers interlocked with yours as he pulled away and began to walk you to your house. When you arrived at your doorstep, you turned around and placed one final kiss on his lips.
âIâll see you tomorrow, okay?â you smiled. Diluc looked away again, failing to resist the smile that tugged at his lips. It was the first time Diluc had been genuinely happy in a long time.
He smiled as he turned away from your house to leave, âYeah, see you tomorrow.â
Xiao:
Xiao felt his heart racing when he heard your voice calling his name from somewhere in Liyue. Somewhere he couldnât pinpoint. There was pain in it, and Xiao hated when you said his name in any way that wasnât positive.
âXiao! Please,â he heard you call out again, this time more pained than the last. The sound of your cries echoed in his ears and a feeling of his own pain surrounded his heart.
A few seconds longer and you couldâve ended up dead. Itâs all Xiao could think about when he finally made it to you, heavily breathing in and out from how scared he was to lose you.
You were covered in bruises and bathed in blood â whether or not it was your own, he wasnât sure. Your eyes were half shut and your head was leaned back in relief at the sight of him. Several abyss mages of varying elements lie dead on the ground around you. Your polearm lay amongst them, cracked in half and dented all over.
Xiao spotted your vision a few feet away, anemo like his own. He gathered it quickly alongside your polearm before securing it on him so he could pick you up. Once his arms were wrapped carefully around you, he didnât hesitate to teleport away and back to the inn.
âHere, lay down,â he spoke curtly. You watched through half-lidded eyes as he moved across the room to fetch his medical supplies. This wasnât the first time he had to treat your injuries, but it wasnât often that it was this bad.
Xiao worked quickly with your injuries, it was effortless and he was careful not to hurt you. Unbeknownst to you, his heart was racing out of control the entire time. Not only was there left over anxiety from when you had first called for him, but it had carried over and made itself at home as he worked away at your injuries. There was too much red oozing out of your body and the bruises were only growing.
What if he hadnât gotten there on time? What if he was only a few seconds later? What if he hadnât heard you call out for him?
âArchons, I am feeling so much better,â you interrupted his poisonous thoughts. Your leg was lifted into the air as you inspected the bandages wrapped around it and all the bloodied rags that sat beside you on the floor.
Xiaoâs eyes hardened for a moment while looking over you, an unreadable expression within them, âPlease do not get injured like this again.â
Contrary to his eyes, yours softened and you took his hand in yours, âIâm sorry. I didnât mean to worry you, I justââ
âItâs fine,â he cut you off when he began to feel weird, not used to people caring about his feelings. Xiao helped you up and out of the bed, his arms wrapped around yours to keep you stable as he walked you to the bathroom counter to finally change out of your bloodied clothes.
Your face was close to his as you spoke, âNo, Xiao, really. I canât thank you enough for all the times youâve helped me out and even allowed me to help you. You just mean so much to me and Iâm so lucky to have you as a friend.â
âSo lucky to have you as a friendâ
It echoed in his mind over and over again, more than the voices of his late yaksha friends. For once, another source of pain had finally outmatched his past.
You didnât see him how he saw you.
Xiao felt his body go cold at the realization. He remained oddly silent as he helped you to the bathroom, not even bothering to give you a response or so much as a simple nod. As soon as you were actually in the bathroom, he backed up immediately and nodded before mumbling something about needing to take care of some other stuff. He had even disappeared before you could utter a goodbye.
Not returning for hours was something you were used to when it came to Xiao. He wasnât social at all, and that was something you readily accepted when you first offered to become friends with him â even if he declined over and over again.
But hours turned into days and days turned into a week. Xiao hadnât returned since that night you were injured.
You werenât sure what happened to him. Maybe he was hurt while out protecting, or maybe he was just in one of those weird social slumps again. But when Xiao finally ran into you one day, it was undeniably awkward between the two of you.
âXiao?â you urgently called out to him, a mix of worry and shock in your voice, âHey, are you okay?â
âIâm fine,â he replied bluntly, eyes barely looking at yours. He looked as if he wanted to be anywhere but there.
You squinted your eyes, analyzing him carefully, âThatâs it? I havenât seen you for a week! I get injured and then all of the sudden you just freak out and leave? It doesnât make any sense. Listen, if something happened, you can tellââ
âNothing happened. I said Iâm fine,â he cut you off before turning his body and grabbing his polearm, ready to teleport off like he always did. You quickly grabbed his arm before he could though, a tight grip that wasnât painful but made sure he couldnât escape.
âLet go.â
âNo.â
âUgh, could you stop holding my hand like that.â
âHuh?â Your phase morphed into shock, confused as to why he suddenly cared about you holding his hand. Youâd done it in the past, so it wasnât like it was anything new to him. Besides, you were always careful not to do anything to freak him out.
âIf we are just friends, then I do not want you holding my hand like that,â Xiao said before pulling his hand from yours with a harsh sigh.
âWait, what?â you asked quickly before he could leave, âWhat does this have to do with us being friends?â
Xiao stared blankly at you for a few seconds, like he was contemplating whether or not he should speak again, until finally, he confessed, âThe other dayâŚyou thanked me for being such a good friend. That is not what I want.â
A pang hit your chest and a tiny prick rippled behind your eyes at his confession, âYou donât want to be friends anymore?â
âHuh? Why would you think such idiotic things? Noâ I mean yes, I do want to be your friend. But I do not want to beâŚjust friends,â Xiao explained. His cheeks were beginning to turn red and his eyes averted even more. He was nervous, you finally realized.
âYouâŚyou have feelings for me? Xiao, you shouldâve told me. Avoiding me for a week straight wasnât cool, you know?â
Xiao nods and crosses his arms, seemingly unsatisfied with your answer until you added on, âI have feelings for you too. I really like you, Xiao. I didnât mean to make you feel like you were just a friend, but I also didnât want to make you uncomfortable or scare you off or something.â
âItâs okay,â he said quietly, barely above a whisper. His hand twitched before it quietly reached for your own and took it in his. His grip was firm, like he was scared you would leave.
âXiao?â You grabbed his attention when you noticed his eyes falter, like he still couldnât quite grasp the reality of your feelings.
âYes?â
âI really like you, okay? I donât want you to ever think otherwise.â
Kaveh:
âKaveh! Look at this!â your smile lit up as you dragged Kaveh toward a merchant selling various little trinkets. Kaveh willingly followed, idiotically smiling behind you at your childlike excitement. His hand tightly gripped around yours to ensure you wouldnât go too far or get separated from him.
The two of you had decided to take a greatly needed break after working for hours upon hours each day for the past two weeks on a shiny new blueprint for a brand new Akademiya research center in the desert. The complications of what the research required versus the heat in the desert and its effect on the lab materials was making it difficult to come up with a practical, yet complex enough lab for the researchers. The headache it had brought upon the two of you was no joke, and you had finally realized that a break was the only thing that would get you through the block you were collectively stuck in.
âHello, dears,â the old woman spoke gently, a bright smile on her face that perfectly creased her eyes. She had an immensely warm aura to her and you couldnât help but match her smile. Kaveh glanced to you, a small smile gracing his own face as his cheeks turned slightly pink. He couldnât help it after he saw how good you looked today.
âSo,â you started, eyes bouncing around to each and every item she had to sell, âHow long has your shop been open? Everything here looks so beautiful!â
âOh, why thank you, dear! Itâs been open for nearly two decades now. It is indeed strange to see how much time has passed,â she answered happily, reminiscing on the early days of her shop. She had told you how she opened it with her husband, but how he had long since passed, to which Kaveh and you had offered your respects.
Your eyes danced over all the trinkets again, but you couldnât help but notice the little figurines that looked like creatures from your childhood. You couldnât quite place where you knew them from, but you picked it up regardless and fidgeted with it before turning to Kaveh, âI think Iâm gonna get this one, what do you think?â
âItâs cute,â he said with a gentle smile, admiring the little blue plant like figure in your hand, âI think Iâll get one in red.â
You finished paying the kind woman for your purchases and thanked her dearly once the two of you were done. The conversation had continued a little while afterward, with both you and Kaveh intrigued in the stories she kindly shared with you.
The sun was beginning to near its setting time, you noticed. The blues were fading to oranges and reds and the air was beginning to get a little colder, signaling the night was on its way.
âThank you again,â you told her, âThese are really nice, Iâll be sure to place them in my workroom so I can see it everyday!â
âOh, thatâs awfully kind of you, dear. I must say, I admire the way you treat everyone as your friend. Itâs truly a rare quality to find in someone these days,â she gushed.
âThank you! I really just try to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome,â you explained before you said your goodbyes. The woman said her goodbyes too, telling the two of you to visit her again sometime soon and tell her all about the architectural work you guys do.
Kaveh nearly stopped in his tracks as he processed the conversation the two of you just had. You hadnât even caught the hesitation in his voice or the sudden change in his mood.
You treat everyone like that?
âUgh, she was so nice, wasnât she?â you rambled, but Kaveh was only half listening. Not that you had noticed that either.
âOh, uh, yeah!â he blurted out, not entirely sure that he had even heard you correctly. His eyes followed the pattern of his shoes pressing against the floor as he swung the bag next to him back and forth, lost in thought. You didnât question him once.
It was quiet for the rest of the walk aside from you announcing that you were tired and were going to check in for the night. Kaveh had agreed and walked you home all while hoping that you wouldnât notice his sudden quietness.
If Kaveh was being honest, his brain felt like it was spiraling out of control.
One moment heâs walking around with you all day, enjoying his time off. And the next, he canât stop replaying a silly conversation with an old woman who he barely knew.
The worst part is, he couldnât help but take it personally. Being treated like he was on a pedestal and then having it ripped away is something Kaveh is used to, but he never thought he would have to go through it with you.
You made him feel special, like one of a kind. The way your eyes always lit up so brightly when you greeted him at work everyday. The way you hugged him when you were feeling down and no one else. The way you always treated him to food and drinks without ever asking him to pay you back because you knew he was struggling â and not once did you ever make him feel bad about it. The way you would jump to hold his hand when you got excited about something or when you were scared when lightning would strike.
You never did any of those things with anyone else. But all this time, you made everyone feel like they were your friend, like they were special in their own way. For all he knew, you did little things like that with everyone and made them feel like one of a kind too. Maybe Kaveh was nothing, he thought, maybe he was really just like everyone else. Just your friend and nothing more.
Kaveh bowed his head to his chest when he arrived home, his hand leaned forward to support himself as he felt the tears coming on. Being emotional or overdramatic was something Alhaitham had always criticized him for, but you? You always taught him to embrace it and let what he was feeling out. You had helped him with so much of his life and moving on toward bigger and better things, but now he couldnât help but feel bitterness in his heart.
The keys in the blondeâs hand returned back to his pocket almost immediately after retrieving them. His palm dragged down the gray wall of Alhaithamâs house and back to his side. Kaveh couldnât bear to enter his own home, not at this hour with such painful thoughts in his mind. Alhaitham would probably nag him anyway, and he really didnât feel like dealing with his cruel words tonight â and Kaveh never liked when they were about you. You didnât deserve that, even if it was just a joke.
And so he returned to the tavern once more in his life. Drinking away his problems was unhealthy, you had told him, but right now he didnât care. You werenât here and there was no one around to stop him from throwing back drink after drink. It had been a long time since Kaveh had been truly drunk, but today was enough to turn him away from sobriety.
âKaveh. Get up.â A voice echoed painfully in his ears.
â[Name]?â he mumbled out incoherently as he blindly reached toward the figure in front of him. Their hand swatted his away before swooping under to pick him up. Kaveh mumbled your name a few more times, desperately trying to figure out what was happening.
âWhy are you at the Tavern, Kaveh? Have you not learned your lesson about drinking?â
Oh. Thatâs who it was. Kaveh should have known by the sharpness in the voice or the annoying familiarity it held.
âAlhaitham? Get off of me,â he tried pushing the Scribe away. Alhaitham didnât budge as he slammed a few bills on the table and carried Kaveh out of the Tavern. Lambad waved him off, but thanked him for taking care of the architect.
Your name continued to slur from his mouth, blending together into what almost sounded like gibberish. Not to mention the near beating Alhaitham had endured as he carried Kaveh around Sumeru.
You, on the other hand, hadnât expected a knock at your door at nearly two in the morning.
âAlhaitham? Whatâs going on? Why do you have Kaveh?â you quickly questioned. Alhaitham shoved Kaveh toward you, a pained groan falling from his lips as he fell into you. The Scribe explained the situation to you. How he had never seen Kaveh come home that night, but later found him at Lambadâs Tavern drinking himself to death as he cried to the sound of your name.
You could only muster a silent nod out, confused but entirely willing to take care of Kaveh. You cared a lot for him after all. Alhaitham had shown himself out afterward, telling you to drop him back off tomorrow so he wonât bother you too much with all his whining. You breathed out a strained laugh and then shut the door before you turned your attention back to Kaveh and helped him to your couch.
âKaveh?â you asked gently as you tucked a blanket over his shivering body. Teary red eyes stared back at you blankly, refusing to answer. You sighed and then nodded, accepting he may not have been willing to tell you anything. And although you had never outright admitted it, drunk Kaveh was not someone you enjoyed dealing with, âIf you donât tell me whatâs wrong, I canât help you.â
âIt doesnât matter. You canât help me anyway,â he scoffed and turned away like a child who just got told they couldnât have their favorite toy. You wanted to say your patience was wearing thin, but honestly, you could never truly be mad at Kaveh.
âKaveh.â
It was silent for a moment. You could only see about half of Kavehâs face as he buried the other half in the side of the couch with his hair covering parts of his eyes. The quiver of his lip, however, was not amiss to you. Neither was the quiet sniffle or the tears that gently slid down his face.
âItâs nothing,â he whispered to you, voice cracking as a hand quickly moved to his mouth to muffle his cries. He hoped you didnât hear, but he knew you werenât stupid.
âItâs not nothing. Youâre hurt, Kaveh,â you rubbed his back. Kaveh leaned into your touch and brought his head up to meet your eyes.
Teary eyes stared into yours and he sighed before speaking, giving into you like he wished he always could have, âI thought I was more than just a friend to you. But I was stupid and I realized today that Iâm not any more special than anyone else. You treat me just like you treat everyone else because youâre so kind and caring andâ Archons, I am so stupid to believe that we were ever more than that.â
Kaveh paused before he spoke again, voice shakier than before, âI really donât want you to leave, but I get it if you want to or if you donât want to be friends anymoââ
Your lips were on his before he could finish his sentence. When you pulled back, you noticed his eyes widened like he had sobered up all at once, âYou are special to me, Kaveh. Iâm so sorry if I made you feel like you werenât.â
Kaveh smiled as a few more tears spilled out of his eyes, âYou really mean it?â
âWith my whole heart.â

Genshin Boys When You Forget To Say I Love You (Kaeya, Diluc and Childe)
A/N: So I saw this tiktok challenge but I changed it up a bit because I think intentionally not saying I love you was mean, anyway, here reader just forgets. I only did 3 because my peanut brain can't write a lot)
Part 2 (Albedo, Xiao and Zhongli)
Kaeya
âAlright Kaeya, Iâll be going, bye!â open the door closing Kaeya would raise his head because you forget to say I love you
He would sit there for a bit wondering if you were playing a prank on him when you donât come back to tell him you were just pranking him he realizes that it was real
Kaeya is a smart man, he knows that you werenât cheating on him, you probably just forgot since you were busy as well but at the back of his mind he kept on wondering what if you found someone new?
My man is gonna make sure he has eyes on you (wtf am i right?) by asking favors from his âfriendsâ to keep an eye on you and would probably exhaust his resource just to make sure that you werenât meeting someone new
He knew it was stupid, he knew you werenât going to lie to him and knowing you if you wanted to end things, it was going to come from you
Visible becomes stress and would frequent Angelâs Shares more (someone save Diluc)
âIsnât that word that you two say a lot? They probably just forgot and thought they already said it,â - Diluc as his taking away his brotherâs 5th⌠7th?? 10th bottle for the evening.
Kaeya is going to rant but itâs inaudible to his red-haired brother because it was either fast mumbling or just complete gibberish
When he heard that you were returning, his going to fix himself, like legitimately erase all trace of him being a sad drunk
Would be dashing as ever when you lay your eyes on him as he welcomes you back to Monstad
âKaeya!â youâll call out when your just a few feet away from him, you would jump into his arms
With that action alone, you could hear him exhale, you of course would have no idea that, that exhale would mean that everything is okay
âI forgot to tell you I love you before I left last time,â you would announce while you two were walking hand-in-hand
âOh did you?â Kaeya would ask
âYeah sorry about thatâ
âItâs fineâ - Kaeya, it's totally fine not like he was a mess when you left and didnât say i love you to him. He's fine.
Diluc
You decided to sleep over his house because you two wonât be seeing each other for a while
The next morning, you were getting ready and his watching you-admiring you because wow was he lucky to have such a beautiful s/o
Elzer suddenly had to call him due to wine business stuff
âDiluc Iâll be going! See ya!â youâll call out to him and it was normal for him not to say anything back
After 30 seconds he would realize something, âdid they just?â - Diluc as soon as he realized that you didnât told him I love you
A part of him told him that it was okay, that they were probably excited and it slipped past their mind
But not long after that his mind showed him the picture of his father and his running to catch up with you (oh boi he running)
It didnât take long before he did because boi his legs are long-long
He would grab your arm and spun you around to face him
âDiluc! Hi!â youâll greet him with a smile, âdid I forget something?â
Heâll end up hugging you tightly
Youâll end up freezing in your spot because Diluc was never this touchy before much less initiate affection
When you put your hands behind his back and start rubbing it, heâll end up squeezing you tighter
âI-I canât b-b-rea-â
â-I love you.â
You were surprised, actually that was an understatement because much like everything else this was something out of character with Diluc
âI love you tooâ - you
âCome back home in one pieceâ
âI willâ
âI love you.â
âI love you too.â
Childe
Oh boiiii
You would often wonder if the child in Childe meant childish
Donât get him wrong he has his moments but oh boyyyy, relationship with Childe feels like you're both in the puppy love stage
You were an adventurer and you were about to head out
You pass by the northland bank to bid farewell to your boyfriend because he told you that despite him being busy, he would like to know where you are and what to expect
If he can join you he would
AnywayâŚ
His talking to his subordinates about something when you entered the bank and his face lit up like the sun
Would literally part the group in front of him in half just so he can come to you
âIâll be taking my leaveâ you announce
âOkay, do you have enough Mora? Do you need more?â
âNo, Iâll be fineâ
âOkay, be careful out there!â
âOkay, see ya.â
You turn around and walked towards the door, you reach for the doorâs handle when
âLORD TARTAGLIAâ you would hear everyone scream behind you
You would turn around and see your boyfriend has fainted and his right hand is on his chest
You would run to his side and shake him
âAJAX WHATâS WRONG?!â you would scream
âY-youâ he would say weakly
âYOU?â you would ask in a panic
âYOU DIDNâT SAY I LOVE YOU!â
You would facepalm yourself and smack him across the chest, you stood up and went to the door
âI love you,â you would say before leaving
When your outside you would hear Childe squealing
And you canât help but to feel embarrassed.

genshin boys and terms of endearment they'd use
a/n: this is my first time writing headcanons and ngl i found them quite difficult to format :( iâm liking this style for now, but things might change later on teehee anyway, lemon cake update next week, i promise!
âĄŕźŕż đŠâđŽâđąâđşâđ¨â
letâs get something out of the way first
diluc is not a jerk
sure, he might have tsundere tendencies but heâs definitely not as cold as people make him seem
in my opinion anyway
i like to call him a classy, but also a very private, softie
i can totally see him as someone whoâd use terms such as darling, love, doll
a major factor here is the time and place
in public, he tries to seem more indifferent and will most likely refer to you by your name
however, in a more private setting, he has no inhibitions and actually prefers using nicknames!
I feel like diluc would want to really reassure their partner he truly cares about them, but in a direct yet indirect way
and calling you sweet things seems to get the message across.
listen to this while reading!
If only time could pass faster. Who knew waiting could be such an agonising activity? Such a simple but repetitive thing. Waiting for your cake to finish baking, waiting for the morning to arrive and even waiting for your lover to come home turned out to be much more of a challenge. It wasnât unusual for Diluc to spend hours on end at Angelâs Share, but it was rather odd of him to break his promises.
A sad smile took over your features, remembering last night. Remembering his words, so sweet and benign, promising to dedicate you all of him and his time. His crimson red eyes, full of love and admiration for the person he held so dearly to his heart. His voice, so demure and nothing but a soft whisper, as if raising it would ruin the moment. The moment he shared with you in a little dark corner of Mondstadt, away from curious eyes and sharp ears. The moment he so desperately wanted to hold onto. Yet, the darknight hero was nowhere to be found.
By the time he finally arrived, your eyes were already closing. It was a gloved hand that pulled you out of your somnolent state. Yet again those same red eyes were looking into yours with the same devotion, if not stronger than the night he made his promise.
âForgive me, love,â he pleaded in a shushed tone, âKaeya came in and started causing a commotion and I couldnât just leave.â he continued, his thumb brushing over your cheek delicately.
Too tired to say anything, you placed your hand over his, silently asking him to join you in bed. You had all the time in the world to discuss tomorrow... Hopefully. After discarding his black coat on one of the chairs and taking off his shoes, Diluc plopped in your shared bed, not even bothering to change into something more comfortable. Soon his arms were around your waist, bringing you closer to his chest. His smell reminded you of grapes and it completely enveloped you as you nestled into him.
âIf only I could turn back timeâŚâ Diluc murmured to himself, kissing the top of your head. âNothing will come in between us and our time together tomorrow. I promise you, darling.â
Turns out that, in the end, he does keep his promises.
âĄŕźŕż đ˝âđŽâđŚâđ´â

my very polite baby
like sure, heâs straightforward
but he be treating everyone with respect
you might be wondering why that matters
well that's because i think xiao would see it as a little rude to not refer to someone important to him by their name
names play a major part in xiaoâs past
with rex lapis re-naming him after taking him under his wing and such
so, in my opinion, xiao finds calling out your name way more meaningful than nicknames
although if he were to use one it would probably be dear
itâs short and he can still address you as âdear (name)â
it does sound quite formal at times though
Moments like this were rare. Usually, sleep doesnât concern your lover in the slightest, as it rarely comes to him. Although you couldnât help but admit how much you loved it when he did come and sleep. Cuddled up next to you was the vigilant yaksha, the well known protector of Liyue. And dare you say, it was truly a divine sight. In the wash of the morning light, his face took the appearance of an old photograph, so nostalgic, so at peace. Slowly, one of your hands brushed past his face, placing the few rebel aquamarine strands that were cascading down his cheek behind his ear. For a moment, you find yourself in perfect silence, Xiaoâs soft breaths being the only sounds that could be discerned. Without realising, you started softly rubbing his back, your heart leaping at the content purr that followed shortly after.
It was almost impossible to put into words the joy this brought you. Although it was such a simple, mundane thing, seeing Xiao so at ease was by far your favourite memory with him. The more you studied his features the more your sight fell upon his lips. The sudden urge to kiss him overwhelmed you, wanting nothing more than to cherish and show your lover the affection he deserves.
If only the sudden chirping of birds didnât scare you, barely a few inches away from his face.
Curse those birds and their awful timing! And so, you backed away, laughing to yourself in self-consciousness, thankful that no one was aware of your little mishap.
Or so you thought.
You felt your face get warmer the moment you saw Xiao looking at you, drowsiness still coating his eyes. Yet again, for another short moment, no sound could be heard.
â____ my dearâ he said, his voice deep and hoarse, snaking his arms around you as he brought you closer to him, âif you wonât do it, I will.â it was then the flush across his cheeks became apparent to you. Shame you didnât have time to savour it, his lips immediately finding yours in a sweet, dream like kiss.
Moments like this were truly worth treasuring.
âĄŕźŕż đ¨âđâđŽâđąâđŠâđŞâ
in contrast with xiao, childe loves calling you cute nicknames
in fact, he barely uses your name!
sometimes he likes to tease you and pretend he forgot your actual name
of course thatâs not true,he could never do such a thing
I can totally see him use pet names such as comrade, girlie, cutie, shawty, sweetness, princess/prince, baby
ok i know shawty is kind of random, but i think heâd use kind of ironically?
I think heâd also use big sister/brother just to tease you, even if youâre younger than him
he heard teucer refer to you as such one time and it honestly melted his heart a little bit
as a side note, seeing his siblings get along you makes him genuinely happy.
listen to this while reading!
Spring was such a beautiful time. Especially in Liyue. Especially on a date with the one and only Childe, eleventh of the Fatui harbingers. For someone with such a fearsome title and reputation, it wowed you to no end just how charming, just plain adorable, Tartaglia can be. Albeit, it was only your second date, it was expected of him to at least try to be nice.
And on time.
As you waited, under that beautiful sky, a hue so gentle between cloud and baby blue, you watched each bird upon wing. It was one of those spring days with a kiss of coldness that somehow heightened the warm rays of the sun. You paused to admire the flowers, to sense their aromas, to be in the moment with their transient beauty.
âLovely, arenât they?â asked Childe from behind you, a shy, perhaps slightly embarrassed, smile painted on his lips. âSorry Iâm late, I really overestimated my juniorsâ capabilities and I had to step in.â he continued, gingerly taking hold of your hand, kissing the back of it.
You couldnât help but roll your eyes at his gentlemanly antics, although you enjoyed them nonetheless. âDonât worry about it, youâre here now.â you reassured him, as you took a hold of his hand, already leading him towards nowhere in particular.
Another thing you liked about him. Things were so casual, so easy-going. One might call this date nothing but a hangout, but not every date has to be a luxurious five star dinner or a fancy show. Sometimes just a simple walk along the Liyue port was enough. Enough for you to get to know Childe, enough for you to like him even more.
Suddenly, Tartaglia was in front of you, his hands lightly taking hold of your face.
âHold on cutie, thereâs something on your face,â he answered your silent question, seeing as you looked a little confused. The next thing you knew, his lips descended upon yours. It was a sudden but very much welcomed kiss. A kiss that unfortunately ended just as abruptly, âit was me.â
âĄŕźŕż đżâđâđ´âđłâđŹâđąâđŽâ
favourite peepaw
also prefers using your name rather than nicknames
but heâs not completely against them
he finds them quite nice actually
and he actually enjoys being referred by one!
like imagine going for a stroll with him and all of a sudden you go "darling, look!"
he'd look so content oh my lord
in my opinion anyway
heâd usually call you honey, my beloved or even my one and only!
you could be doing the simplest of things like reading with him under a tree
and he'd go "you're my one and only love"
no, he isnât aware of how cheesy it sounds.
listen to this while reading!
Who knew the God of contracts could be such a romantic? Usually, Zhongli wasnât a big fan of fancy, elaborate dates. Heâd usually say something along the lines that âspending time with you was enough for him to feel like the richest man in the worldâ, which he technically was even without your presence. But, quite frankly, it was because he lacked the funds to do so that he didnât pamper you every moment of the day.
So when you found yourself face to face with an array of different foods, meticulously prepared and arranged on a soft picnic blanket, you couldnât help but wonder â
âWhy the sudden change?â you asked, sitting down on the plush cover, to which Zhongli only chuckled.
âAm I not allowed to change my mind?â he replied in a teasing tone, flopping next to you.
âOh, you are more than welcome to do so,â you winked, pouring some tea for both of you. It smelled like chamomile, âI was just trying to say itâs a nice change.â you continued, taking a few sips of your tea.
Zhongli only hummed, content with your response. Sometimes, sitting in silence, all while eating delicious brunch foods and drinking sweet tea, was much more enjoyable than small talk.
And so, you spend the rest of the day with your lover, basking in the sunshine and each otherâs company. In his embrace, there was something so right, something that felt right, smelt right. You let your body sag, your muscle become loose. In that embrace you felt your worries loose their keen sting and your optimism raise its head from the dirt.
âYouâre so beautiful, my beloved,â he whispered, cupping your face and kissing you gently.
âĄŕźŕż đ°âđŚâđŞâđžâđŚâ
avid user of nicknames
partially because he finds them cute
and partially because he loves teasing you
heâd use them in public and try to get a reaction out of you
like letâs say all of a sudden kaeya is back hugging you, pampering your neck with kisses
saying something like âwhatâs wrong, baby?â
heâd also use hot stuff, sweet cheeks, gorgeous, handsome, cutie pie, treasure
sometimes theyâre really sweet, other times theyâre really silly
side note, i feel like this one got a little out of hand sorry yall i lowkey canât take kaeya seriously
listen to this while reading!
There was something so heavenly about a kiss in the rain, a tender moment that just wouldnât wait. It was that burst of love that is expressed, not caring if the water soaked through to chill the skin. You felt yourself gasping for air as Kaeyaâs lips left yours, doe like eyes searching for his. Behind that brilliant shade of blue sparkled a glacial attraction. So complex and mysterious, it was magnetic. It made you want him even more.
Upon seeing your dazed state Kaeya smiled, clearly enjoying the effect he had on you. His hands found yours. âLetâs get you of here before you catch a cold.â he said, leading you down the streets of Mondstadt. It was the middle of August, and you got caught in nothing more than a summer rain. You werenât even cold, but alas you let it slide, enjoying seeing Kaeya worry about you, even if it wasnât as serious as he made it seem.
There is something about a rain-washed pathway that invites playful feet, that says each new step will be rewarded with a splash. And soon, you found yourself splashing around, making the most out of this accidental rain shower.
The moment you finally reached your home, Kaeya wasted no time, his arms already wrapped around you in a tight embrace. Yet again, a gasp escaped your mouth, Kaeyaâs cold lips leaving goosebumps behind each carefully placed kiss on your neck.
âYou know whatâs the best way to get warmed up, treasure?â he asked, his hands ghosting over your hips.
You shook your head softly, awaiting his answer.
âA good old dance party!â he exclaimed, spinning you around as he started humming a cheerful. âNothing gets the blood going like a little movement!â it was obvious he found great pleasure in seeing your more than confused, if not disappointed, expression. Still, he paid you no mind and continued dancing with you all while singing a cheery melody.
It was quite save to assume there was never a boring moment with this man.
âĄŕźŕż đŚâđąâđ§âđŞâđŠâđ´â
my favourite elevator boy
doesnât love nicknames but doesnât hate them either
i see him as an action speak louder than words guy
and although heâs aware that, as his partner, you know that
he still feels sorry for not being as vocal as other people when it comes to talking about his emotions??
so cute terms like these are a simple way he can show his appreciation for you
for some reason, i think he would really like using diminutives??
heâd call you things like little star
or baby or lovebug
i think it really matches his vibe ngl
listen to this while reading!
The breeze blew warm announcing the coming of summer's hottest days. The aroma of the tall grasses were an intoxicating perfume and the starry night above was a painting more sublime than any man could create. The clarity above became reflected in your mind.
Being with Albedo meant putting up with the unholy amount of hours heâd spend on whatever research heâd be conducting at the time. And luckily for you, his next big discovery involved the stars. On the black sky above you, there were a multitude of stars and there were lighter patches, clusters of faint and bold light, the constellations altered according to the time of year. These were the same stars that greeted the ancients, the same ones that would be there in millions of years.
As you enjoyed your little midnight snack, your gaze fell upon the chief alchemist. His eyes were fixated on the landscape above him, utterly fascinated by the worldâs mystic beauty. Seeing him so consumed by his studies made your heart feel warm. It was adorable to see him like this.
Your sudden yawn made both you look at each other. Albedoâs gaze was filled with compassion, and perhaps a little remorse for making you come with him so late in the night just to stare blankly at the sky.
But you knew this wasnât such a trivial thing.
You pet the spot next to you, silently asking him to sit down with you, to which he immediately obliged. As his head found its place on your shoulder a little sad smile made its appearance on his face.
âSorry for making you come here with me, baby.â he said, his hand drawing patterns along your thigh. âI know this isnât your idea of quality time.â
âAny time spent with you is quality time, silly.â you giggled, kissing the top of his head. âAnd besides, who doesnât enjoy a little bit of stargazing?â
âĄŕźŕż đťâđŞâđłâđšâđŽâ
ok now for venti
i feel like with him the tone he uses is very important??
i mean this also applies to the rest of the guys
but for venti even more so
he could simply refer to you by your name and it would still feel all special and bubbly
nonetheless, he loves using pet names!
i mean as a bard, he can come up with poems and such on a whim ( flashback to the signora moment :) )
so his nicknames for you always have a certain meaning or funny story behind them
oh, you love pumpkins or had an unfortunate accident involving one? now he calls you pumpkin all the time
heâd also call you things like sunshine because to him you bring so much joy and you warm his heart just like the sun.
with that being said, good luck to those pulling for him! <3
listen to this while reading!
âThere you go! Youâre really good at this!â Venti complimented you, observing in great detail the way your fingers touched the strings of his lyre.
Judging by the curious stares and even odd looks youâd get from time to time, that wasnât really the case. What was supposed to be a simple walk around the city turned out to be a full concert. Although Venti couldnât find it in his heart to tell you, who asked him so eagerly just a few moments ago if he could teach how to play a song, just how⌠Poor was your attempt.
A relieved sigh could be heard the moment your fingers left the strings, although Ventiâs reassuring smile never left his face. âDonât let a few strangers discourage you! Even the greatest geniuses had to start somewhere!â
âAre you saying Iâm a genius?â you asked teasingly with a raised eyebrow, laughing at his flustered face.
âLetâs not go that farâŚâ he murmured, winking cheekily.
âAnd here I was, thinking I could wow you with my insane musical skillsâŚâ you whined sarcastically, handing him his lyre as you continued your stroll. It was then Venti stopped in his tracks. Upon his face, shock was written all over, his expression soon turning sympathetic. For a moment, he left you alone, diving into the crowd of people, only to return to you with a single cecilia flower. Its fragrance was sweet and fresh and its color a perfect white. Shortly after, he gently placed it behind your ear, smiling to himself while looking at you.
âYou donât need fancy tricks to win over what you already have,â Venti said, kissing your cheek lightly. A cheerful tune could be heard across the street, Ventiâs soft melody attracting a lot of attention, âIâm all yours, sunshine.â he said loud enough for more than a few people to hear.
He has such a way with words, doesnât he?

imagine fighting together with any of the boys but then a slime happens to,,,, get its condensate all over your clothes. now you're all icky and slimy and your clothes are a mess and see through. you try and turn to your side only to be slammed onto the nearest wall or surface by them as you are groped and touched all over.
for hydro users like childe and xingqiu, they'd use their hydro abilities to 'clean off' the excess slime but it's useless, they'd say, cause all it did is made you wet and ruin your clothes further. oh well, it just has to get off and maybe you should get cleaned as well, without the hindrance of them,,, needless to say, they'd just insist you also needed to be cleaned inside (preferably with their cocks)
for pyro users like diluc and bennett, they'd both be flustered at first but honestly, you look absolutely like sin when you have that distressed look on your face coupled by the shiny, translucent slime covering your body,,,, in diluc's case, he'd intentionally burn your clothes 'to prevent the spread of possible diseases' and in bennett's case, just blame his bad luck okay??? they'd try to comfort you by sharing their body heat which leads,,, well, if their cocks aren't in your holes by the end of the night, expect it while you are asleep at least.
cryo users like kaeya and chongyun would use their vision to freeze parts of your slime covered clothing and skin (unintentionally in chongyun's case) so that you are forced to take them off. chongyun would be a bit flustered, pulling out his popsicle to control his desires and emotion while kaeya would revel in your discomfort at having nothing to cover yourself with. while they couldn't offer to heat you up unlike pyro users, they'd try and distract you by eating you out or having you suck them off.
anemo and geo coming in part 2 haha
- đ
okay part 2 of the you get covered in slime, what do the boys do haha (i forgot to add electro ahdkdjfkeks so it's coming here too)
geo boys like albedo, zhongli, and aether would have various rock hard reactions (pls laugh at this pun) albedo would be mostly curious at the effects, presenting it as a possible aphrodisiac so his hypothesis would be "if we engage in sexual activities, chances are your orgasms would last far longer than usual. would you care to try it out?" and if he makes it work, slime condensate would be a part of your regular lube for your sex life. zhongli would try to control himself first, but they way you just emit such lewd and sensual appeal would break his rock hard control. in the end, to appear a bit more modest, he'd make a small rock shelter and proceed to ravage you while in your slimy state as he comments on how slick you are for him. aether would appear a bit shy but if you manage to seduce and coax him out of his initial embarrassment, he'd be all over you in a second.
electro boys razor and (unconfirmed but widely accepted) scaramouche may give you,,, a shock. in razor's case, he'd submit to his primal instinct and would just think that his mate is ready for breeding. he'd go at it for as long as the slime covers you so be prepared to be filled with his cum all night. and in scaramouche's case, this lil sadistic shit will take advantage of your state to do some kinky stuff like shocking your nipples and holes with his vision, using the slime to finger you as a lube "to prepare you thoroughly of course" but he honestly just wanted to edge and tease you smh.
the anemo boys, xiao and venti (i would add kazuha but i know nothing about him so feel free to add in your ideas!!!) oh boy are they in a completely different spectrum. venti would straight out perv the hell out of you, teasing you about how immodest you look and now he has to make sure that you are utterly clean,,, he'd run his hands all over your body, using his anemo powers to blow some wind on your slick holes as he spreads the slime instead of clean it while blaming you for not staying still. in xiao's case, he'd reprimand you about not being careful as he checks you for injuries. he nearly left you at that state but he spots a couple of adventurers heading your way so he goes back and drags you somewhere private. you'd apologize and try to make it up to him by sucking him off but he refuses, instead pining you to the wall and taking advantage of your slime coated self as a lubricant to fuck you senselessly. by the time he is finished, you are completely fucked out, but still very much slime coated. he'd take advantage of it to fuck you again.
-đ
anon , no words just . wow . i am speechless ((and horny))

Xiaobedo Fanfic Recommendation
Welcome to my personal âif you are new to xiaobedo peeps please read theseâ list. As said before this is my personal list so please feel free to reblog/comment/hit me for not including any gem here. I might miss a lot of them because I am drunk or blind. (mostly have them on my to read and then forgot as I am being assault by real life shit).
I would like to say first that so far there are 150+ Xiaobedo fics on Ao3. I canât review all of them but I can say that I have read a majority of them. Most of them are just pure love and I would like nothing more than a thousands thank you for all the fic writers who spent their free time writting these gems for us to read for free. But these...these takes the cake as it finds a special landing spot in my heart that I would just thrust them into someoneâs hand if they say âI am new to this ship can you recommend me?â
1. Orange dust by bobamilkteas (Wes)
In which Xiao learns to open himself up to the world a little more after the collapse of Rex lapis's contracts but it was not always easy for a soul doomed to eternal damnation. Meanwhile, Albedo liked to tempt fate where the extraordinary are concerned.
If only the traveler's comrades are made of saner bunch.
Comment: Long ago when I like both Albedo and Xiao as a character, I was wondering hmmm....will anyone actually even write about them lmao they never met each other. I am surprise to see this one as the 3rd fic in the whole 3 Xiaobedo fic on Ao3 (yeah back when thereâs literally only 3 fic for this couple). I was like Iâll read it for the curiosity, Iâll probably wonât ship them. And that people is how I put my clown make up on my face upon finishing reading it. This ONE fic alone convert me into a devotee of Xiaobedo. Please consider joining me in this circus if you want to know what is Xiaobedo. I would put this as the first of my âBig 3âł
Orange Dust also come with its compliation of short stories over the course of the game and a big sequel to it. Please also consider reading ALL OF THEM.
2. Solar Wind by birdpriestess (Sparrow)
For the yaksha, his duty was his life, and his life was his duty. No human could ever hope to understand the eternal war he fought out of sight and in silence.
So why, then, did he feel that Albedo would understand?
---
Finding himself at death's door once more, Xiao is saved by a surprising person, setting off the unlikeliest of adventures.
Comment: Do you like crying? Do you like the feeling of getting your heart ripped into pieces as the author destroy your emotions over the end of each chapter as the story picked up the climax? Yeah, this one is for you masochists. The action, the characterisation, the drama THE EMOTIONS OH WOW. I kid you not that it was so good I read this while workinng when I am not suppose to me. Also, this fic has my favourite characterisation of Gold ever. I love that dramatic queen Mad Alchemist. AND DAIN. I LOVE DAIN IN THIS FIC. Our dearest Sparrow manage to toy with our feelings like how I bully ruin guard for big numbers lmao. This is the secound of âBig 3âł of my Xiaobedo list.
Again, just like Orange Dust, Solar Wind comes with its own compliation of short stories of what came after that. Please also consider reading ALL OF THEM.
3. Castle of Glass by AlchemicalStardust (Morgie)Â
A black shadow rises over Huaguang Stone Forest. Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, Albedo flees the shaking ground and the crash of boulders tumbling form the sky. As the dust settles, Albedo finds a young man â an Adeptus â amidst the carnage. Despite the karmic agony ripping his body from the inside, Xiaoâs only question is âHow?â How did a human survive after witnessing his battle?
Comment: The last of the âBig 3âł of my Xiaobedo list. And it is still on going! Castle of Glass? More like I AM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTIONS! Have you read a fic about 2 people yearning, longing, reaching out for each other so damn well that you just want to throw your phone in the air as they both had their impending doom coming down upon them? Yeah this is one of them. You will like want to be stuck in the moment they express how much they just yearn for each otherâs love and care that you want to shake the author for what comes next. Like...everytime Morgie update I am expressing my gratitude at the end of the chapter by writing on Xiaobedo discord âMORGIE COME HERE AND LET ME BONK YOU WHY ARE YOU ENDING IT THEREâ
trust me when you read you will def feel the same. With just Big 3 and their compliation alone that would give you like a LONG list of reading already LMAOOOOOOO
4. Find a place to call it home by yamajirooÂ
Our room, he said. Xiaoâs brow twitches. Zhongli never said anything about this. But then again, perhaps he should anticipate this from the beginning...
Xiao looks over at Albedo, who is now tilting his head, his look as innocent as ever.
âAre you not okay with sharing a room?â
Comment: College AU for Xiaobedo! One thing that I love this is the slow burn and what made me LOVE LOVE LOVE this fic more is how cute Klee is in this fic. Their relationship in this one is very simple, but that simplicity highlight why their chemistry work. Xiao is someone who was just very gentle, who was largely misunderstood by his lonesome nature. Albedo was someone who like peace and quite in his introvert bubble. And how they respect that bubble that each other has actually made their relationship work. I love it when fic highlight this and this one captures it.
5. I Can't See Your Face From the Other Side of the Classroom by MissWeaver Â
When Albedo and Xiao unexpectedly start eating lunch together, they begin to find that they have more in common than anyone would have realized. They both struggle in their own ways with blossoming feelings, too many assignments, and annoying classmates as they navigate a relationship for the first time.
Comment: Iâll be honest, I usually hate high school au just because its so cliche. I donât even watch and drama/anime surrounds high school student anymore LMAOOO (unless itâs very good). So if thereâs an high school AU that I actually keep come back and read after a couple of chapters, it means that the cliche that I hate wasnât there or barely was there at all. The pinning in this fic makes me want to bang their head together sometimes LMAOOO The tag wasnât kidding when they said both Xiao and Albedo are bad at feelings. Also thatâs a lot of heart broken caused by these two idiots XD
6. new world, same me, same bullshit by bobamilkteas (Wes)
At the belly of Dragonspine, Albedo lost control to the festering corruption that permeated his senses and watched, from the recesses of his mind, as his devoured body turned his allies into enemies. Before his rampage reached its climax, he is sealed in a crystalized confinement by the last hand of Reindottir, where he then reawakens centuries after, in a rebooted Teyvat.
Comment: Yeah I know it was list in Orange Dust but here me out. This sets out in an entirely different universe. And if you like Polyamory, this one has Zhongli joining the duo and I love it because I also love ZhongXiao with my life. Time Travel is my biggest kink. Especially when I am the person who love it when people explore Archon War era/ Alatus!Xiao. So this one hits double of my kink. Of course it is still on going and I will bully Wes whenever I can to see that new chapter. Albedo is a total fucking badass in this story and I completely agree from using him in Abyss so often. Everyone should write badass Albedo.
7. misplaced heart of mine by inkburn      Â
âIf you are ill, then you should be resting at home. In Mondstadt.â He emphasized Mondstadt with a pointed look in his direction.
âI assure you I wonât be troublesome, Adeptus Xiao,â Albedo said, âYouâll find Iâm a rather low-maintenance traveler.â
âTravel,â Xiao scoffed, âwithout airstep?â
Albedo looked him up and down. âAre your legs just for decoration?â
(albedo is sent to liyue on mandatory vacation. xiao is his unfortunate bodyguard.)
Comment: Most of the time you will see Albedo and Xiao starting their relationship with one of them taking interest in another. But this one took another approach, they starting off by make them hating each otherâs guts LMAOOOO and I live for every second of it. Thereâs only 1 chapter so far but wow it was SOOO GOOD. I am really really excited for next chapter and is waiting patiently ;w;
8. Blossom of Grace  by birdpriestess Â
One day in Liyue Harbor, Albedo watches a street performance by an enigmatic dancer named Xiao. And he becomes completely obsessed.
Comment: Have you ever look at Xiao fight and thinking that heâs one of the most beautiful deadly thing ever? How it was like he was dancing around the battlefield? How about actual dancer Xiao being so absolutely beautiful and perfect and that slow burn of Albedo falling in love with that beauty with a touch of Modern AU and cute Ganyu as the Wing woman. Yes, Sparrow delivers yet again another beautiful slow burn and while itâs still ongoing it is worth the read.
9. i think we could make this work (could get used to this) by outspaced        Â
âXiao? What are you doing out here?â
âIââ
âItâs raining,â Albedo says, as if it isnât obvious. âYou could get struck by lightning.â
âWhat are you doing out here then?â Xiao does the only thing he knows how to do, he challenges Albedo. âItâs raining.â
Albedo just hums. âIf I get struck by lightning, itâs for science.â
Comment: A short one-shot where I read the summary and went âThis is it... this is their relationship.â I am sold immediately. Oh god Albedo why are you like this.
10. Ephemeral by criedprinz    Â
âItâs not for your investigation, is it?â Aether asked mildly.
Albedo traced a finger around the sketchbook, considering the question. âNo,â he admitted finally. âI... I just want to see them again.â
He opened the sketchbook to reveal the drawing heâd just finished. Aether nodded, clearly recognizing the sharp golden eyes.
âXiao,â he said. âYou were rescued by an adeptus.â
When a visit to Dragonspine goes horribly wrong, Albedo is rescued by an unknown stranger, wielding powers he's never heard of. Led on a search to find out who it is, he finds himself in the middle of an unforgettable encounter..
Comment: A really really well written one-shot that I love. The yearning oh godddd the yearning from Albedo side is just so so much that I have to put it here. (I think you can see the trend here lmao. I am a sucker for yearning). And the moment they get to meet each other again is just chef kiss. MWHAA
11. Idle Yaksha, Brilliant Yaksha by Pit0fTheEarth
Alatus didnât have a lot of responsibilities to keep. He spent most of his days dancing across the sky and eating away all nightmares that plagued a personâs sleep.
But one fortunate encounter led to too many unfortunate ones, taking his carefree existence and plunging it in darkness. His wings, stripped from him. His gentle touch, replaced by an unforgiving grip of destruction.
There was a lot of blood on his hands. With each passing moment, it became harder for Alatus to recall the last time someone gently held him.
Comment: This is one of the ongoing fic where I am very very much excited on the take of Naberius. And the way the author portray Xiao when heâs still the innocent Alatus is just *clench fist*. Baby ;w; Baby why do you have to lose all that innocence. Also the fic has long LONG flashback to Xiao past and his relationship with Naberius. We are unwielding more what happened to both of them and why perhaps does this have to do with Albedo.
Thatâs it for now, might add more later! Thank you <3

Comparing Adaptations
âKay so I went on one of my whims again and did something stupid. Couple weeks or so ago, I wasnât really in the mood to watch anime so I opened up Netflix and watched a Cdrama that I wanted to watch for a while now.
That Cdrama was âThe Untamedâ which, prior to me watching it and doing said whim, I thought was just your typical historic Cdrama. Oh boy I was wrong. As I was watching it, I was thinking to myself, âThis showâs really selling itself off as BL.â Which, I found out after finishing it was because it is BL. Hah...and that was just the start of it.
As I was doing my âPost-show research,â I found out that it was based of a novel, called âMo Dao Zu Shiâor as translated by the people on the internet as âGrandmaster of Demonic Cultivation.â Said novel had 2 more adaptations along with âThe Untamedâ which were a manhua and a donghua. So me being me, I decided to watch the donghua adaptation and read both the og novel and manhua.
So how I went through this was...
The Untamed (2019)
The Donghua aka Anime I guess
The Manhua which I read while having class (such a responsible student arenât I)
The original novel
All hail this person who has too much free time on her hands.
Anyways, as it says on the tin, Iâll be comparing the 4 adaptations/versions of the story and see what changes between them as well as the pros and cons. (Wow I sound so professional)
Some background of myself just to avoid confusion
I am not a mega hardcore Fujoshi. I donât really enjoy reading smut, nor am I old enough to do so bear that in mind
I have 7 years worth of Chinese lessons under my belt which means I barely understand a thing and that I can get some of the jokes like how Wei Yingâs sword is called âSui Bienâ and itâs funnier to hear in Chinese. In other words, compared to like actual Chinese people who live in China, I pretty much have the knowledge of a 10 year old.
The versions of the Manhua and Novel that I read were translated in English so somethings might have been lost in translation.
I have a bit of a goldfish brain so forgive me if I wrote something wrong or forgot the name of a certain character, most likely I will look it up to correct it but if I donât...well sorry.
I am writing my opinions on each version as I finish them, so if they donât link up to the original thatâs the reasoning behind it.
All of these are my opinions and thoughts on the story. You are not entitled to follow them if you disagree. I personally believe that everyone has a voice of their own and they should use it. (Even though I donât half of the time.)
Slight Spoiler Warning
I will be breaking down some of the scenes and characters for my comparisons so please keep that in mind.
The Untamed (2019)
As this was my first exposure to the story, I didnât know what to expect. I loved everything about it except for the fact that literally half of the show was spent in the past, building context for what was happening in the present.
The characters were lovable and all had distict personalities, especially Wei Ying and Lan Zhan which I guess makes sense since theyâre the main characters (their actors are also cute and have good chemistry.) Speaking of characters, Yanli has a more forward role in the story here compared to the other versions. The way certain characters were introduced was different too. Since itâs live action, itâs also harder to show things like extreme blushing and such so it makes Lan Zhan look very stoic and way more unexpressive here than in the other versions.
The soundtrack is nice to listen to, especially with the 2 mains singing the theme song together itâs so cute and gives it another meaning in itself. Although, I do wonder how that poor bamboo flute Wei Ying made in like 2 mins plays decent sounding music. Chen Qing(is this the name of it?), the flute he uses after his trip to the Burial Grounds has the same sound quality as that bamboo flute which is just, âhow???â
They took out most of the extreme BL!!! I feel like that is the biggest difference between this version and all the rest. I know they did that to appeal to more people but it does remove some of the context to things. That doesnât mean the moments that were kept in werenât cute though. It did make the pair look more plantonic than romantic.
As for the story itself, as a story on its own, itâs nice, as an adaptation thatâs where the line gets blurry but it leans more towards the good side. They did indeed change some things, made them work better with the medium than if they didnât.
An example I can place is the mask. Where the other versions used white make up with oddly placed red circles around the eyes, this one used a mask instead. I agree with the choice they made, seeing as they removed the fact that Mo Xuanyu was homosexual and so the make up wouldnât make sense. It also looks nicer than what I imagined what couldâve happened with they kept with the make up. They do make a reference to this in the show when Jin Ling and Wei Ying have a conversation in Carp Tower. âYouâve seen my face right?â âHow do I know? Your face is always caked in make up or covered by that mask.â
Another issue I had which Iâll touch on later was the first episodeâI had no idea what was going on for those 40 minutes of screentime.
Donghua
As of writing this post, season 3 of this has yet to come out.
My first reaction to this was âMan, the animationâs pretty, and they made Wei Ying look scarier.â Watching stuff at 12 in the morning isnât the best thing but thatâs what I do.
Anywho, this version made Wei Ying really attracted to going down the path of âevilâ compared to the other versions. I donât really understand why they made this change...but they did so we have to deal with that. And his eyes glow red!! It makes him look scary and cool at the same time. I love it!!
The transitions between certain events were a bit weird to say the least. For example, at the end of episode 2/3 Wei Ying gets forcibly dragged into the Cloud Recesses and the episode ends there. By the next episode, weâre 16/23/13 however many years in the past. This makes it really confusing for someone who hasnât watched or read any other version of the story. It definitely made me confused and I already finished one.
While âThe Untamedâ told us everything in one long flashback, the donghua broke it up into small chunks placed whenever information was needed. I donât think that was a good idea, but then I also think it was a better decision than what they did for the Cdrama. As I watched this adaptation, I found myself confused from time to time because what happened in the prior episode didnât always match what happened in the current episode like I mentioned earlier.
As for the artstyle, personally, I think some of the characters look similar minus the hair. However, I do like the little ways they made Lan Zhan express his feelings towards Wei Ying.
Speaking of which, when I first saw them together in this version in the forest near the Goddess Temple, I had to do a bit of a double take because of the height difference which wasnât so evident in âThe Untamedâ. I soon found out that Lan Zhan was taller than Wei Ying before and after he gets reincarnated(?) Prior, it was just a small gap of 2cm which later turned to 6cm after possessing Mo Xuanyu.
I didnât notice their height gaps while watching âThe Untamedâ because Wei Yingâs actor, Xiao Zhan, is taller than Lan Zhanâs actor, Wang Yi Bo by about 2 inches which is like 5 cm? and so they had to do some weird thing with platforms to make Xiao Zhan look shorter in comparison.
Soundtrack wise, I personally think that âThe Untamedâ was better in that sense. Where it had an amazing souding flute, this one had minor earrape in a nutshell.
This version made itself, in my eyes look more like a historical fighting anime as opposed to the BL vibes I was getting from âThe Untamedâ and the other versions. They added a lot of action scenes and made the mystery more interesting for me. Along with this, the overall look and feel of this made it seem like it came from a completely different source material.
Manhua
Small FYI, as of writing this post the Manhua is at 147 Chapters.
(I shouldâve kept up the trend and got a screenshot from that scene in the Manhua but I didnât so here we are with gay rabbits.)
As your local internet friend who reads more manga than normal books nowadays, I enjoyed reading the manhua and finished it in a couple days.
Compared to the first 2 versions here, these last 2 are both things that you have to read to get through, albeit one has pictures and one doesnât.
While normally, one would read silently, I like listening to music while I do. And seeing as the OST of âThe Untamedâ sounds really nice, I listened to it while reading both the manhua and novel when I could.
This one brought out the BL elements that were missing from the first 2. They gave Wei Ying and Lan Zhan a lot of kissing or just straight up affectionate scenes which I think ties in with the general theming of the original novel more.
As this one is probably the closest of the adaptations to the original, itâs the least confusing to read, although that mightâve been influenced by my experiencing the story for the third time at this point. I say that, however, there were many story elements that werenât present in either one prior to this.
Examples this can be seen with their collecting of body parts that belonged to the former Nie Sect Leader. In âThe Untamedâ they find the sword spirit which guides them through the rest of the story. In the Donghua adaptation, they get the arm, but also get the head of the the Jin with the hundred holes curse which was an original addition. Here, they get the arm from Mo Manor, find the other one then find the torso and so on before finding the head in Jin GuangYaoâs possession.
The flashbacks in this version were also executed really well, in my opinion, as it doesnât feel super confusing while reading it and it gives just enough information to help the events unfold. It also gives us a chance to see how much of an ass(sorry) Wei Ying was when he was the Yiling Patriach from his own perspective as well as give us a moment of WangXian in the middle of all that chaos.
Novel
Hereâs a picture of gay rabbits for everyone.
At this point, I was switching between the novel and the Manhua to read whichever one I wanted at any given time which might have blurred my sense of what belonged in each one so Iâll try my best to make sure.
Since this one is the original source material, it was clear from the get go that this will be the one with the least confusing version of events and the most amount of detail.
I was surprised on how close the manhua and âThe Untamedâ was to the novel. Although, the former condensed the mystery to fit within the timeframe while the latter hasnât finished just yet.
Personally, I like this author, and will probably read more of her works further down the line. Even though the version I read was in english, I still could feel the meaning behind certain aspects which I think shows her skill as an author.
The novel clearly shows the mischief that goes through Wei Yingâs head and their gradual (I say gradual but I think Lan Zhan just snapped) change of attitudes towards each other.
Arc One- Mo Manor
Past here Iâll break down the first arc of each one because I think all of them did it in relatively different ways. Be warned for spoilers if you havenât watched or read all of them.
The Untamed (2019)
Out of all of these versions, this one definitely had me scratching my head in confusion the most even after watching it a second time once I finished the entire show.
As the only version that had the curse issued at the start as a moving factor of the story as well as the Yin Iron which was specifically made for this version, it didnât explain enough at the start.
There were many things I could say were wrong about this beginning, from starting at a flashback to not properly introducing us to our characters but the biggest problem in my mind was the lack of explanation at the present.
Like I mentioned, starting at a flashback is a terrible idea as it gives the viewer high expectations only for it to be crushed the second it ends. Here, it shows a small portion of the battle at the Nightless City without much context then it quickly changes to 16 years later with a seemingly random group of people.
Another issue is the amount of useless characters who were introduced. In the other versions, there were only 2 Lan disciples who were given names and were introduced properly while here there were more than I want to count. Add to that the one telling stories about the YiLing Patriarch and the weird guy walking around with a flag, and you got yourself total confusion.
Donghua
This one was slightly less confusing to watch. As it starts with a clip of Wei Ying commanding corpses which matches the overall feel of the donghua. The rumors that he died stretched over the time skip and we meet this version of Mo Xuanyu who is caked with make up, whether or not he was a cut-sleeve (gay) in this version, I forgot.
It fully explains the curse and instead of having a couple of Lan disciples just standing there watching, we get to focus on the 2 important ones, Lan Sizhui and Lan JiYing. It gives us a slightly deeper insight into Wei Yingâs mind, as he states âyou got the wrong one,â just after being reincarnated, indicating that he isnât as vicious as painted by the first few minutes of the show. Like the other versions, they also show how he considers the cons of using his demonic abilities and that Sizhui would probably tell on him to Lan Zhan, meaning that Sizhui was a keen, observant young man.
Manhua and the Novel
As for the introductions, these two were very similar. Both have the rumors of the Yiling Patriarch across the screen as we get further down the story and meet our main character.
It gets the details from the Donghua adaptation and mixes it with more information to create a more detailed account of what was happening, also making this Wei Ying seem smarter compared to his counterparts in other versions. He also hesitates more on showing his abilities, knowing that heâs going to be caught if he does.
Final Thoughts
As of writing this, Iâm only halfway through the novel but it covers the portion until where the manhua is currently at. I would finish reading it before posting this but it would take too long and probably make this post even longer than it currently is, which isnât such a good idea. If I had much more patience and effort I would really like to break down each arc and their differences from one another but I canât be bothered right now. (Sorry)
I can safely say that in terms of adaptations, âThe Untamedâ is relatively close to the novel, albeit a very condensed version. As flashback filled as it is, it wasnât very confusing to watch past the first two episodes.
The Donghua adaptation takes several liberties, going more of an action oriented route instead of the calmer more, I wouldnât say love but character oriented novel.
The manhua is definitely the closest to the novel, so if you really donât want to read a lot of words, and I mean a lot of words, then go ahead and read it.
What else do I have to say...if youâre new to the story, welcome, if youâre a veteran whoâs been here longer than me, sorry for taking up space on your feed. And congrats for making it to the end.

Tears of Themis : Chapter 2 âUnbearable Loveâ Part 4
[Previous Chapter] | [Masterlist] | [Next Part]
youtube
âLocation- Stellis University Campus
(I was swamped with work until Saturday and completely forgot about Mo Yiâs invitation. When Sunday came and I woke up without the harsh sounds of my alarm, I suddenly remembered my plans with Mo Yi.)
MC: âI forgot to tell him that Iâm coming, I wonder if Iâll be able to bump into Dr. Mo.â
(I took out my phone and started browsing through the art exhibitionâs introduction while walking toward Stellis Universityâs exhibition gallery.)
MC: âThe PAX Group is the sponsor for this art exhibit. No wonder there are so many priceless works of art on display. Rembrandtâs âNight Watch,â Cezanneâs âThe Card Playersâ...â
(Suddenly, a news notification popped up on my phone and prevented me from reading further. âThe next Madam PAX candidate revealed, famous designer Shen Xi and young CEO Lu in a love to death relationship!â)
MC: âUgh whichever annoying app is sending me such useless gossip news, consider yourself uninstalled.â
(After I deleted the app, another notification popped up. âFamous actor Li Zhou visits a private clinic late at night with a mysterious woman. More to come this Monday!â)
MC: âThey already had to visit a clinic, and even then these news outlets wonât give people their privacy⌠Ah!â
(Darkness filled my vision as I was enveloped by a hot and cold breeze. It was a gentle feeling, yet cold cold to the touch like a fleeting moment in time.)
???: âXiao jiejie [1], watch where youâre going.â
(After hearing an irritating voice, I rubbed my sore nose and looked up to see a fashionably dressed man standing before me. His furrowed brows had a tinge of youth to them, and underneath the dappled sunlight shining through the trees, his deep indigo hair shone with flecks of navy blue. Was this the source of the cool scent from earlier? It sure doesn't match his fiery temperament, but you know what they say, âthe nose knows.â)
???: âOi, are you stable now? Iâm gonna let go.â
MC: âAh, Iâm so sorryâŚâ
(Thatâs when I realized he had steadied me by holding onto my arms. He must have warned me after noticing that I was wearing heels.)
???: âMC? A lawyer from Themis Law Firm?â
(He picked up my employee ID from off the ground and was looking at it curiously.)
???: âYour made an appearance on the news recently, so Iâve heard of your name.â
(I made it on the news? Ah, he must be talking about the QingPing Restaurant case.)
MC: âSorry, I'm so sorry, I was looking at my phone and wasnât paying attention.â
???: âCheck your ankles, see if youâre hurt anywhere.â
(I tried putting weight on my ankles; there was nothing unusual.)
MC: âIâm alright. ThanksâŚâ
(He held onto me a while longer, until he was sure I was alright, before pulling back. )
???: âAs long as youâre alright. Hereâs your ID, Iâll be going then.â
(I took back my work badge and was about to thank him for catching me when I noticed his cheeks were damp with sweat. His t-shirt and dress shirt were slightly wrinkled, and his necklaces were tangled together. Did he⌠run over here?)
MC: âJust now⌠it was you who bumped into me!â
(I was walking slower than usual while I was looking at my phone. If the other party wasnât running over, then the chances of us colliding would have been pretty unlikely!)
???: âHaha, whoops, and here I was thinking that I had fooled you. You caught on quickly.â
MC: âYou were in the wrong, and yet you dared to push the blame on me. How incorrigible! Are you a student at Stellis University?â
(He pulled out his student ID and waved it around up high as if he was trying to provoke me.)
???: âSo what if I am? Do you want my student ID? So you can what, take it and tattle to my profs? Seems like I really shouldnât tell you my name.â
MC: â...â
[Observe His Student ID]
MC: (Argh, wave it again, I dare you! Itâs not like Iâm going to go as far as to snatch it out of your hand. Even if youâre not afraid of looking childish, I am!)
[Observe His Hair]
MC: (Look at that hairstyle. Did he fix it himself with hair wax? So he cares about his appearanceâŚ)
???: âWhy arenât you saying anything, jiejie? You keep staring at me. Are you mesmerized by my handsome smile?â
MC: (C-cough!)
(Who gave you that much confidence. So narcissistic!)Â
[Observe His Clothes]
MC: (That shirt is not particularly eye-catching, but itâs definitely from a trendy brand. It looks like his familyâs well off. No wonder he's so⌠arrogant!)
[Talk to Him]
(Look at his evil grin which screams that he wants to start something. I really want to ask what...)
MC: âYouâre a student? How old are you?â
???: âDonât get upset at me. You werenât watching where you were going as well. If you want me to take responsibility for the accident, the most Iâll accept is splitting the blame with you. Fifty-fifty.â
MC: â...â
(How did I⌠get into this predicamentâŚ)
???: âOi, what are you doing at the university anyway? Are you here to see the art exhibition?â
MC: âYeah, Iâm headed to the exhibition hall.â
???: âHow interesting, youâre sightseeing yet you have no idea where the exhibition hall is? Youâre walking in the opposite direction.â
MC: âDonât try to fool me again. Iâm an alumni of Stellis University, how can I not know where the exhibition hall is? Unless youâre suggesting that the building grew legs and relocated itself.â
???: âNot relocated. A new one was built last year.â
MC: âA new building?â
???: âYup, the schoolâs new art museum also doubles as Stellis Cityâs municipal exhibition hall.â
MC: (Ah⌠I must have buried my head too far into work. Iâve completely stopped paying attention to the changes in the outside world.)
???: âForget it, Iâll just take you there myself. Consider this as my half of the payment for bumping into you.â
âLocation- Exhibition Hall
(Just like that, a nameless Stellis University student took me to the newly built exhibition hall. There weren't too many people gathered by the front doors, and from afar, I think I saw someone who resembled Mo Yi.)
(Almost as if that person sensed my gaze, he turned around and waved me over. It was Mo Yi.)
ââ-
T/N: [1] New character likes to call MC ĺ§ĺ§, and although it technically translates to big sister, it doesnât quite capture the meaning, thus we will be leaving it as jiejie. In Chinese, calling someone older than you by jiejie is a form of respect, as well as acknowledgement that theyâre pretty. This is one of those because Iâm addressing you as an elder (to me), I respect you as an elder (respect your elders rule). In some cases, it can also be used as flattery, for instance, when you call someone of an older generation (say in their 40-50s) as jiejie, itâs saying something along the lines of âWow, you donât look a day over 20âł. Bonus points in their book! Although it has to be used appropriately. In the earlier instance, he calls MC ĺ°ĺ§ĺ§ which literally translates to small big sister, which is a paradox, but itâs just to say like oh youâre older than me (probably) but youâre small and cute. Thereâs really no good way to translate these things. TLDR: ĺ§ĺ§ cannot be fully translated well, so weâll be leaving it as jiejie.

Rewatching Guardian - Episode 03 Part 3/3
Episode List || Part 1Â |Â Part 2Â ||Â Episode 04
SPOILERS for upto episode 40, SPOILERS for the novel.
No, Shen Wei gets you. He understands all too well. Zhao Yunlan to Shen Wei is what Zhang Ruonan is to Wang Yike.
This had me so confused the first time. Why did she attack Shen Wei? Is it that he was close to Zhang Ruonan but had no idea what had happened/didnât help her? Or is it that she thinks because theyâre close Shen Wei would take advantage of Zhang Ruonan in the future? Why did she think that and she decided to kill him on what basis?
But then I got it. Earlier in the episode, when Zhang Ruonan had run up to Shen Wei to talk about switching for the engineering 4 class, Shen Wei had offered her the cake he got from that class because he doesnât eat sweets.
At that time Wang Yike was watching. Giving cakes is a normal, nice gesture in Haixing. But Wang Yike is new to Haixing customs and stuff. The only correlation to âgiving cakeâ she has is what happened to Zhang Ruonan. And the cake was being given to Zhang Ruonan again.
Thatâs why she decided to come for Shen Wei.
I only realized after noticing the blurry red blob on the stars in the background and then the strange camera angle in the next shot, which turns out to be from Wang Yikeâs perspective.
From that distance, she probably couldnât hear what was being said. So she didnât know that Shen Wei didnât get this cake to specifically give it to Zhang Ruonan. This doesnât help with the misunderstanding.
... Such acting, much wow... (Not you, Zhu Yilong, you did great <3)
Zhao Yunlan, careful, your Concerned Boyfriend is showing. xD
W-Where did her lipstick go...? And the eyeliner and mascara?? Did Wang Yike suck that up too???
And, like... thatâs some awful old-person makeup... Itâs so bad I canât. You can tell the wrinkles are drawn on. TT~TT
Iâm sorry, but I just cannot deal with this. Why would her lipstick disappear?! xD
âI donât knowâ, not âItâs not possibleâ. Hm. Okay.
Letâs remember this for later.
Zhang Ruonan! Did not! Deserve! Any of this!
QAQ
A lot of people see these two as being romantically involved, and to those people I say: Your opinion is valid. V_V *sage nod*
I see it now that I read someone mention it in a comment.
OH
I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS
So I think this means that Zhu Jiu sowed the seed of vengeance in Wang Yikeâs mind. Itâs been a month since the incident and Wang Yike only started to take revenge now. And it canât be that Zhang Ruonan just didnât share it with her until now because the two are obviously very close.
And Zhu Jiuâs involvement could also have something to do with Wang Yike attacking Shen Wei. It might not have been just because of the cake giving.
Zhu Jiu didnât know that Shen Wei was Hei Pao Shi at this point though. He still couldâve instigated Wang Yike to overthink the gesture and kill Shen Wei because the more trouble there is, the better it is for him apparently.
Idk. The villainsâ plans never made much sense to me tbh. I got the general idea but why theyâd do small stuff like these, I have no idea.
But how did Zhu Jiu know Professor Shen neutralized Wang Yikeâs power?
Hereâs a horrifying thought. Everytime thereâs a view from outside the office into it from an odd place, thatâs Zhu Jiuâs spyâs POV.Â
You could argue that Shen Wei would notice with his Dixing senses, and to that I say: Dixingren powers.
Anyway, just a thought.
Ugh Zhu Jiu stop, youâre cringey.
Lin Jing is right.
Thatâs exactly what happened, Zhu Hong. xD
Yayy! They get a happy ending!
... Kinda. See, Zhang Ruonan is still very âoldâ. Unless her condition is fixed, sheâs gonna die very soon because sheâs just a regular human.
And I was pretty bummed out about it before I rewatched the episode. But while watching I realized that the show ended Zhang Ruonan and Wang Yikeâs story with an open end instead of a sad one like I thought it did.
Earlier Zhao Yunlan told Wang Yike that if she can take it, she can give it back too, and she said she didnât know how to.
If at some point Shen Wei âlearnsâ Wang Yikeâs power with his own, learns the ins and outs of it, then Zhang Ruonan can be cured.
I assume that because Shen Wei probably learnt so many powers over the course of his life, he would find it easier to figure it out than Wang Yike.
There are other factors like if Shen Wei learnt the power, would he be able to pause it or would he not have any control over it like Wang Yike., or like if there is a limitation to what kind(s) of powers he canât learnt, etc.
This is the first case where we get to see Hei Pao Shi daren let Dxingren under his watch go. ^u^
Something that keeps bugging me, though, is that in every other cases, Wang Yikeâs powers seem to take effect and kill immediately. So how come after getting touched, Zhang Ruonan still stayed alive for long enough to be shifted to the sofa, exchange touching words and loving touches, share precious memories and for Shen Wei to save her?
Had Zhang Ruonan really developed some level of resistance to Wang Yikeâs powers after having spent so long with her? Or was this a sloppines from the writers?
Xiao Guo is so precious.
Shen Wei... Q~Q
Zhao Yunlan... QAQ
XIAO GUO...! TTATT
Famous last words from Zhao Yunlan lmao.
(Iâm so sorry, I put the screenshots in the wrong order when making the collage asdfhjkl I only noticed now that Iâm making the post. The mere thought of putting in the work to making another one on my phone and getting it to my computer is draining me so please excuse this. Dx)
Shen Wei putting on his glasses to shift to Professor Shen mode.
This made me so tense the first time.
Zhao Yunlan just had to go and get a crush on someone as suspicious as Professor Shen didnât he. xD Poor thing. V_V xD
He looks so upset and done at the end lol
Iâm only laughing now cuz I know what happens next. But even so, Iâm tempted to start episode 4 RIGHT NOW cuz the suspense is bothering me.
Zhu Jiu, congratulations on being somewhat intimidating again!
Oof. This episode was an absoulute nightmare when it came to taking screenshots. The characters, specially Zhang Ruonan, move so fast that the screenshots are either blurry and awkward when there are suitable subtitles, or I just miss something because it gets too fast to take a screenshot of.

Untamed rewatch Episode 20
Wei Wuxian is back, and would like Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan to know that heâs completely, totally fine, and not torturing people to death to cope or something
-my mom says wen chao is really good at looking crazy lmao
-I GASPED WHEN WWX SHOWED UP WITH THE FLUTE HEâS SO HOT
-god I love this music itâs so eerie and evocative
-the way itâs shown that jiaojiao and wen chao are being tormented by the spirits of people whose deaths they were responsible for...thatâs so spicy. shout out to wei wuxian and his deeply twisted, horrific, but powerful sense of justice lmao.
-the scene where lwj and jc investigate all the dead wen cultivators is nice and spooky. I love the horror aspects of this show
-my sister pointed out that when someone tells jc that a woman hanged herself inside the office, he mightâve reacted as he did because he thought it was wen qing :(
-my mom complained about Netflix not translating the seal script on the talismans but my understanding is that itâs not language, as such
-oh I forgot about jiang chengâs conversation with wen qing here. this is gonna hurt.
-âyou have saved me after allâ she has more than you know, jiang cheng
-hearing her very deliberately call him sect leader jiang is such a punch in the gut, both cause itâs a reminder of the fact that this manâs whole family is dead now, and because sheâs drawing attention to the political situation that means he canât reasonably help her. I think at this time in his life, jiang cheng really mightâve done everything in his power to protect her and her family, but thatâs a narrow window of time, defined by the unstable situation of sunshot, his inexperience as sect leader, and the fact that heâs lost so much. once wei wuxian comes back, I think jiang cheng steps more fully into his role as sect leader, until the idea of protecting the wens is unthinkable.
-âyou can save me but you canât save them allâ fuck this hurts so bad looking forward. another way jiang cheng is shown up by his brother - wei wuxian did manage to save wen qingâs family. but it didnât and couldnât last, just as she predicted.Â
-âhe bled from all the holes of his headâ is such a cool and gross thing to say lol
-okay again wen zhuliu is funnier on a rewatch. he hates this so much.
-the problem with the soundtrack here is that you sometimes canât tell whether the flute is meant to be diegetic or not
-god the slowly ratcheting tension of wwxâs entrance... *chefâs kiss*
-when he starts playing, the background fades into the burial mounds for a few moments, and wei wuxian just smiiiiiles...fucking superb you funky little necromancer.
-love this random ghost lady we never see again
-oh boy. oh man. the first time I watched this show I spent episodes 14-19 yelling variations on HUG YOUR SIBLING GODDAMN IT, so when we got The Hug I broke. I think I may have actually cried.
-oh god, an arrangement of the lotus pier theme plays during The Hug
-just as wwx reaches up (slowly, uncertainly) to return the embrace, jiang cheng pulls away
-âhow could I have been in the burial mounds? no one can survive that placeâ thatâs as close as youâre going to get to a cry for help huh
-wei wuxian is so much...stiffer, less relaxed. his movements are more controlled, his gestures less expansive than they were pre-burial mounds. he does a little bit of the brat act when lwj talks to him but it looks artificial. he smiles earnestly when jiang cheng talks to him, but it doesnât last long.
-âas for my temperament, Iâm in control of my own mindâ famous last words, my dude
-this argument is. oof.
-Iâm not clear that it wouldâve helped, I donât think wwx trusted him enough, but if lwj could have just said âI care about you and I want you to be okay, I donât think youâre in a good placeâ in so many words...Mm. But he would have to be a very different character. lan zhan is so defined by what he canât say, what he doesnât know how to say, and what he does say that gets misinterpreted because heâs expressing himself through the prism of the inflexible rules he was taught. concern on lan wangji looks too much like disapproval for poor neurotic wei wuxian to take it gracefully, and they both suffer for it!
-like, whatâs happening here is that to lan zhan, wei wuxian is visibly Not Okay and is using resentful energy, which is fucked up, and jiang cheng is too thrilled over having his shixiong back to really notice. so he points out that resentful energy is really dangerous for the person who uses it, because heâs afraid for wei wuxian. and wei wuxian, on a hair trigger because he just barely survived three months of torture and sensitized to anything that even looks like disapproval by his shitty adoptive parents, interprets this as an insult - how dare you think I canât handle this? how dare you see I canât handle this, how dare you see that Iâm suffering? and so he gets nasty and cutting, and lan zhan, who iâm absolutely sure doesnât understand why wei wuxian is angry with him, gets angry right back. and wei wuxian says the most cruel thing he can:Â âthis is an internal measure of yunmeng jiang, itâs none of your concern.â or, the way heâs intending it: i donât care about your opinion and i donât care about you.Â
-and lan zhan, unable to deal with it anymore, walks out, which we know he does when heâs angry, to go turn the words over in his head. this...honestly gives me autistic lwj feels. heâs trying so, so hard to reach out to wwx when thatâs a really hard thing for him to do! he has a hard time relating to people! and he gets rebuffed in a way that makes it clear heâs failed to be a friend like he was trying to be and he doesnât even know why. (which is not just on him, wwx is Not being forthcoming) and that sure is..an experience. which i have had.
-(iâm also imagining he picked up this method of handling his anger from xichen, personally. just walk away, wangji. donât fight, no matter how much someone hurts you, no matter how wrong it feels :â)
-lwjâs expression when he listens to them killing wen chao reminds me of the rain scene ._.Â
-yanli as a medic feels kind of stereotypical but sheâd be good at it
-the way yanliâs face changes when she hears wwxâs voice...i kind of havenât liked her performance (mostly, i think, because sheâs been given so little to do) but this little moment...wow
-my mom really wants to know what happened in the burial mounds! we had a conversation about dizi (wwxâs flute) vs xiao (lxcâs flute) also because. i looked it up lol. I might make a meta post since thereâs some interesting details
#cql#the untamed#untamed rewatch liveblog#meta#mine#wow i had a *lot* more to say about the wwx/lwj argument than i thought i would#hopefully i'm not just saying things everyone has already picked up on lol#the more i think about him the more my autistic lwj headcanon solidifies

So there was a writing prompt that was like âwrite something based off a weird Duolingo sentence youâve gotten.â Well here is my sentence:
And here is some SuIce:
In EirĂkurâs defense, he had drunk quite a bit that night, and some other substances may also have been consumed, which led to him lounging on Yong Sooâs couch with his head in Xiaoâs lap giggling uncontrollably about something he already forgot. So it was really annoying when his phone suddenly started buzzing.
 âWhat kind of psychopath calls people anymore?â he groaned, checking the caller ID. Unknown. He hit the answer button anyway.
 âHello,â said a metallic female voice, âweâve been trying to reach you about your car loan ââ
 âFucking telemarketers,â EirĂkur grumbled as he hung up. âI keep getting that stupid call about a car loan.â
 âOh, dude, I keep getting that, too!â Xiao said. âItâs, like, super obnoxious.â
 âYeah, I donât know ââ
 Another phone call interrupted his sentence. EirĂkur groaned again and answered.
 âStop calling me! For fuckâs sake, I donât even own a car!â
 There was silence on the other end for a moment, then a deep male voice said, âIâm calling from Swecom to see if youâre satisfied with your internet package.â
 EirĂkur felt his face flush, and he sat up quickly, brushing Xiaoâs hand out of his hair.
 âOh my gosh, Iâm so sorry!â he gushed. âItâs just these stupid car loan calls wonât leave me alone.â
 âI understand, sir,â answered the man. Something about his tone of voice sent EirĂkur into another bout of giggles.
 âYou sound kind of cute, whatâs your name?â Xiao scooted closer, laying his head on the boyâs shoulder to listen in.
 âIâm BjĂśrn, may I have your name, sir?â The man sounded amused, but it was hard to tell over the sound of Xiao snorting.
 âIâm EirĂkur,â he slurred, rolling the râs longer than needed. âWhat are you wearing, BjĂśrn from State Farm?â
 âIâm not from State Farm.â
 âRight, youâre from...?â
 âSwecom. Iâm calling to talk about our internet packages.â
 Xiao burst into laughter, and EirĂkur had to slap a hand over his own mouth to suppress his own reaction.
 âAlright, why donât you tell me all about your package, BjĂśrn?â he asked in the most innocent voice he could muster, switching to speakerphone so they could both listen.
 âDid you know weâre three times faster than the national average?â recited the telemarketer.
 âNo, I did not know that, BjĂśrn,â he responded enthusiastically.
 âAnd our service area is twice as large as other internet companies.â
 âOh, is that so?â At this point, EirĂkur had to cover Xiaoâs mouth, so his snickering wouldnât be picked up by the microphone. âBut what about your package, BjĂśrn? How large is it?â
 âWell, we have all different sizes of packages, depending on your needs.â
 âAnd the largest would beâŚ?â
 âUnlimited, of course.â
 âWow, that sounds exactly like what I need, BjĂśrn,â EirĂkur cooed into the phone. He thought he heard a chuckle from the other end of the line, but just then, Yong Soo came back with pizza.
 âYo, what are you nerds giggling about in here?â he greeted loudly.
 âEirĂkur is flirting with some Swedish telemarketer,â Xiao answered just as loudly.
 With that proclamation, some semblance of shame suddenly seeped into EirĂkur, and he quickly punched the End Call button on his phone. âIâm hungry,â he said by way of explanation, shrugging nonchalantly. Yong Soo and Xiao smirked at him knowingly but said nothing.
 It wasnât until the next day, when BjĂśrn from Swecom called back to finish his spiel, that the total idiocy of his actions completely set in.

Alder, sitting at a table in a nice restaurant, a glass of water in his hand: Soooo, the magnificent Parsley Xiao Long.
Parsley, leaning on the table, her chin resting on her knuckles: Oh? I believe that's very much me.
Alder, chuckling a bit, nodding: I'd say so, yeah. So tell me Miss, what's it like being the firstborn daughter of the legendary team RWBY?
Parsley, her cheerful face dropping, her tail slowly drifting down out of sight: Oh...yeah. It's alright.
Alder, his humor turning to concern: O-Oh what's, what's wrong?
Parsley, sighs: Nothing really. It's just...I've spent my whole life being compared to them. You know? Every teacher at Signal basically tells me, "Oh you're as skilled as your mother," or, "Ah your mother did the same when she attended Signal!" And I'm sure Beacon will be the same, or even worse, ugh.
Parsley, shrugging, glancing down: I just...I wanna be known for what I do, not what my moms did.
Alder, nodding, swirling the glass of water in his hands: I see, I see. Well, heh, I guess I can't say I understand completely but, you know. I can imagine that sucks.
Parsley, wincing a bit at the reminder of Alder's situation: Have you...found anything?
Alder, shaking his head: Nope. I know about the same today that I knew when I woke up in that orphanage nearly nineteen years ago. No sign or hint at all where my parents are.
Parsley, reaching her hand across the table, taking hold of Alder's: I'm sorry...
Alder, with a joking tone, though a hint of genuinity can be glimpsed from a gentle rub of his thumb over Parsley's knuckles: It's fine, I'll just borrow one of your moms, right?
Parsley, an amused puft of air from her nostrils: Yeah. Totally...But hey, this is a nice place, are you sure you can afford to bring me here?
Alder, nodding: Yeah, Team BLAC does guard duty for the owner of this place when they go out for supplies. So we get a nice discount when we stop by.
Parsley, raising an eyebrow, her hand tightening its grip on Alder's just to do it: Why would you need guard duty to go to the store?
Alder, with a bit of a laugh, shaking his head: No. No the owner is way old fashioned, he likes to hunt for ingredients himself. Fishing, hunting, foraging. You name it.
Parsley, impressed, her tail perking up: Wow! That's...That's really cool?
Alder, nodding, a bit smile on his face: Isn't it?
Parsley, nodding, her eyes drifting to their still joined together hands: Yeah...it is.
Alder, raising an eyebrow, glancing down to their hands and back up to Parsley: I'm thankful. I forgot my mittens.
Parsley, teasingly: Did you forget your good jokes too?
Alder, feigning a heartbreak: Oh! How rude!

Mafia Leader!Johnny x Hitwoman!reader
Summary: Youâre hired to take out the leader of the mafia gang thatâs been the talk of the city as of late. Consequently, youâre caught and persuaded to join the gang. Through this, you start getting closer to Johnny and learn some things maybe he didnât want you to know.
Mafia AU, Childhood friends AU
You went through the city you lived in, running atop the buildings as to not let anyone see you, despite that because it was midnight, no one was outside anyway. You were employed to kill the mafia leader that has been anything anyone talks about anymore, despite them not having even caused problems that majorly affect anyone. Surprisingly, your employer had given much more information than you had expected, this included a name, a picture of him and even where he would be tonight. Of course, you didnât question it. As long as you were paid, you were happy.
You arrived at the place your employer sent you to and jumped off of one of the shorter buildings, landing safely on the ground.
The second you jumped off of the building, you were swarmed by men in dark suits, maybe even two or three women among them as well. They all jumped at you at the same time. You quickly reached for your shotgun and fired at one of them, unfortunately missing due to someone grabbing your arm and directing the bullet away from the member.
âLooks like weâre playing dirtyâ you muttered to yourself
You swung your leg back, kicking the person behind you on the front of their knee, causing their grip on you to loosen and their knees to buck. You pulled your arm from them and started running away, kicking or punching a few of the gang members in the groin if they got in your way.
When you were almost out of the crowd, you were grabbed and pulled back, your arms held tightly behind you by two men. You squirmed and struggled in their grip but it was amazingly tight. You were pretty sure you were definitely going to get bruises from them later on. If you even lived until then. After about a minute of struggling, you decided to give up, knowing it was useless. Once you stopped, the crowd of members parted and Johnny emerged.
âYou put up a pretty good fight for a girl,â he said, smirking
âHow did you know I was coming?â You snarled
âDid you really think anyone outside of this gang would have a clear picture of me, a name and where I was gonna be tonight? Iâm the one who hired youâ
âWhy on earth-â
âYouâre joining my gangâ
You paused for a moment, processing what he just said. Once you had, you furrowed your eyebrows and scrunched up your nose, glaring daggers at him.
âThatâs the stupidest thing Iâve ever heard! Thereâs nothing in it for meâ
âExcept for the fact that youâd probably get paid twice the amount as you get paid now,â he said, a sly grin on his stupidly handsome face.
Now, this. This caught your attention. You softened your gaze but your eyebrows were still furrowed, you were busy trying to decide whether he was telling the truth or just really wanted you in his gang. There was absolutely no hesitance when you stared into his eyes, just arrogance.
âAlright,â you said, making up your mind âIâll joinâ
âGood. Let her goâ he spoke, looking towards the two men who still had a tight grip on you.
They let you go gently, you eyebrows furrowed once again at their unexpected kindness but you had just assumed that it was because you were supposedly one of them now.
âFollow me,â Johnny said curtly, turning around
You, along with the rest of the members who had come, started walking behind Johnny.
You finally made it to what you assumed to be their base- or one of their bases anyways. When you got into the building, Johnny dismissed everyone except two blonde haired teenagers, who looked far too young to be in a gang like this.
âChenle, Jisung, could you show Y/N to her room?â
âIâm living here now?! And how do you know my name?!â you started, but Johnny left before you could ask any more questions
âWow. Rudeâ
âYeah, Johnny can be like that sometimes, but heâs actually really niceâ the taller one who you assumed was Jisung said
âYeah, I agree with Jisung for once,â Chenle said, confirming your assumptions
âNice? How?â You asked, barely believing what you were hearing from the pair of teens
âJisung and I are the youngest in the gang so he takes really good care of usâ Chenle exclaimed
Jisung nodded, agreeing with Chenle. During the walk to your room, they both told you about how the gang worked and a few of the members. How someone named Taeyong was pretty much the unofficial leader instead of Johnny, how this other member named Kun took care of all of them, about these three new members called Yanyang, Hendery and Xiao-Jun that everyone really loved.
âActually! Lucas was the one who you kicked in the groin earlier!â Chenle yelled, looking very amused
âOhâŚsorry about that,â you said, cringing at the thought of it.
The three of you arrived at your room and Chenle and Jisung left so you could get settled in. Closing the door behind you, you slid down onto the floor and gave a deep sigh.
âThis fucking place literally sounds like the nicest thing ever. What the everliving fuck have I gotten myself into?â
Months had passed and youâve definitely made the gang your home. None of the members were anything like you expected, everyone was so nice despite their jobs, and it was completely unbelievable. Aside from that though, Johnny was right about your payment. You were pretty sure even if you didnât get paid, youâd stay in the gang, they were practically family now. Itâs hard not to get close to people once youâve killed literally hundreds of people with them and were almost killed yourselves on far more than one too many occasions.
You had gotten especially close to Johnny, with his handsome features, caring personality and charming smile, you even may have developed the tiniest little crush on him. He reminded you of someone, but you could never place a finger on who it was.
You were wandering around the base like you normally would whenever you had nothing else to do. You could barely ever do this, but when you did, you always discovered something new, and that may sound magical and mystical but in actuality, the things you discovered were usually around the idea of torture rooms.
Today, you just so happened to come across Johnnyâs room. You had been in a few of the other membersâ rooms to hang out, play video games, discuss plans and what not but never once had you been in Johnnyâs room. Curiosity seemed to overwhelm you and you also knew that Johnny was out right now.
Slowly, you grasped the door handle and twisted it, discovering that it was locked.
âOf course itâs locked. Iâm an idiotâ You said, mentally face-palming yourself.
You got out your lock-picker from your back pocket and started getting to work. It mustâve taken you a few minutes, but you finally heard a click, signaling the door had been unlocked. You smirked and slowly opened it, an extremely messy room presenting itself to you. Clothes were thrown everywhere and you even spotted a couple guns and knives just lying around.
You shook your head, suddenly getting the overwhelming urge to clean up the mess in front of you, but you resisted.
One thing quickly caught your eye once you had gotten over the huge mess. Atop of a bed-side table, sat a small photo frame. Curiously, you walked over to the frame and looked at it. The picture inside was of two little kids, both smiling brightly. Your eyes widened and you quickly got out your phone, turning it on and unlocking it, looking at your home-screen background. They were the exact same pictures.
The same pictures of you and Johnny, your childhood crush and best friend as little kids.Â
Your emotions were completely mixed right now. Should you be angry at him for not telling you? Should you be angry at yourself for stupidly not recognizing Johnny? Should you be happy that you found your childhood friend again? Should you be sad that you both chose such a horrible path in life?
In the midst of your thoughts, you didnât hear Johnny come in, only noticing his presence when he grabbed you by the shoulder, tightly.
âWhat do you think youâre doing in here?â You turned to face him, this was probably the angriest youâd ever seen him
âWhy didnât you tell me?!â You yelled at him
âShouldnât you be angrier at yourself?â he asked, trying to stay calm, but ultimately failing
âIâm angry at both of us! Just tell me why you didnât tell me even after spending so many months together!â
âYou didnât recognize me! I thought you forgot about me! I didnât want to remind you because I didnât want you to know that Iâm now this shit excuse for a person, a murderer, a mafia leader, whatever!â he said, finally completely losing his cool
âWeâre both shit excuses for people Johnny! That doesnât change the fact that I used to have a crush on you or the fact that I have one again now!â
There was a long, stunned pause. You were looking at him intensely, you were both on the verge of tears, it was ridiculous but you couldnât help it. Before anything else could be said, Johnny pressed his lips against yours in a sweet kiss.
You both pulled away slowly and stared each other in the eyes for a long time before Johnny finally spoke.
âI wanted you to join this gang so I could protect you properly, regardless of whether or not you remembered meâ, he said, softly
âI can protect myselfâ, You said, slightly breathless
He smiled fondly at you
âI know you canâ

Top 9 Trainees ft my feels
The final members that successfully debuted as Chinese boyband 9percent:
First place (center): Cai Xukun
when this child was announced as centerÂ
i was ecstatic but not surprised
like my bOY DESERVES IT
tbh if he wasnât chosen as center yall know whoâs gonna burst into iqiyiâs HQ screaming like a banshee
he looked so nervous when he was finally called out?? im-
boy the whole world knew you were destined to be center except you
all in all heâs gon be an aesthetic center and im gonna fite anyone who says otherwise
2nd place: Chen Linong
Expected 2.0
because every group needs a ball of sunshine and linong is it
i cannot imagine the group w/o linong
aLSO DID YALL SEE MY BOY RAPPING IN MACK DADDY
baby to daddy in 0.1 secs
when he went up with xukun i was like woah this is devaju
*flashback to the first evaluation*
when he flashed his smile during his speech i was-
i was mush
 and bc the connection was shit i get to look at that blinding smile of his for like 10 extra seconds
iM proUD OF MY CHILD and imma protect him forever
3rd place: Fan Cheng Cheng
EXPECTED TM
also i was rlly shooked when i saw his hair bc it reminded me of my tablecloth like did he steal it and draped it on his head or smth
but still mucho love him
my mood aspires to be as consistent as his ranking
The lord of thrids has granted cheng cheng his blessings
now the group will have two official memes *cOUGH juSTIN*
yall brace yourself for the amount of screenshots imma take when they start promoting bc heâs is definition of quality memes
alSO PROUD
likE,, my heart is swelling
from crying in the first ep bc he forgot his lyrics to this
chengcheng has rlly improved a lotÂ
the amount of happy is like seeing my son grow up and get ready for prom
4th place: Justin Huang
THE maknae of 9Percent
and im just a lil touched??Â
seeing him sit from the sidelines for the P101 finals to this is just-
his rap improved a great deal and his stage presence is more prominent than ever
I can already see that heâs gon be a great artist in the future
tbh although i expected all the 3 yuehua boys to debut its just like,, seeing your dream come true
good grace i wanna fly all the way to China and ruffle his hair just to say that he did a good job
also justinâs reaction when he was announced as 4th bc he will forever be a meme
5th place: Lin Yanjun
ok i will be honest with you
I DID NOT EXPECT MY BIAS WRECKER TO MAKE IT TO TOP 9
bc he has always been below that?Â
always at the cursed borderline cut
so when he was announced i was like-
MY PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED
i was always hoping that my bromance ships wld get in together??
yikun and zhangjing w yanjun lol
he literally snatched bufanâs wig
buT,.,, im was really overwhelmed omL
he did such a stunning job as center for Itâs Ok i actually drowned in his gaze
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME HE WAS ACTUALLY CRYING WHEN HE WAS PICKED??
i dont rmb him crying in the previous eps so i was sorta crying w him as well
and when he kneeled down to show his respect i was screaming bc i was just so emotional i thought i wld die right there and thenÂ
someone smuggle me to china rn i need to hug him
6th place: Zhu Zhengting
if yall watched the vcr you wld kno how desperately he wants to debut
same thing applies to him as with justin
seeing their growth from P101 is like,, wow how has time flew
i dont think the yuehua boys wld be the same w/o him
just another talented bean that finally got the debut he deserved
7th place: Wang Ziyi
when his name was called i was literally half sobbing
actually i came home late and missed the first half of the live and made the mistake of glimpsing at my frenâs insta feed so it sorta was a spoiler but stiLL-
one of the trainees that i wld actually sue iqiyi for not debuting cuz:
1. One cannot overlook such talent, and
2. One does not simply separate him and cai xukun
fate was literally screaming at our faces that they are bros made in heaven if you didnt get the message then ur pretty damn oblivious
but now wang ziyi has debuted despite all the rumours to bring him down and i can finally rest in peace
8th place: Xiao Gui
eY
tbh i was expecting him too
he was so extra when he was called out lmaO
i sorta wanted xingjie to debut with him? but oh well :(
now im just sorta worried for you changjing haHA IDK WHY THE BANANA SQUAD ARE SO HORRIFIED OF hiM
a well deserved debut and you can say im satisfied
unlike p101 lmao im still highkey salty abt it
9th place: You Changjing
when the 9th place was finally about to be announced
my palms were literally sweating
bc if you zhangjing/ zhu xingjie doesnt debut
i wld be worried on how the others are going to reach the high notes in their songs cuz
Almost the whole of 9Percent are made up of rappers lmao
so when he was announced i was yellin
bc he was always either 9 or 10 and i was losing my shit for him
and if a powerful vocal liek him doesnt debut i will lose faith in humanity
bUT HE DEBUTED
as main vocal and oldest in the group lmAOÂ
and when he and yanjun hugged i knew my life is complete
the salt left from the injustice of P101 has dissolved from my tears of joy
so if i ever die yall are invited to my funeral to give me sunflowers so that everyone will know i died of happiness
Bonus: Now that IP has ended, I can finally focus on my studies until 9Percent makes a comeback. I initially thought it was gonna be a terrible rip-off but it turned out even better than P101 and I actually love all the trainees? Especially the top 35 bc these boys has made their way into my heart.
Also, im really relieved they debuted under the name 9Percent? Because names like Good9 or Balance are srsly rather horrible name and yall cannot do my boys dirty like that.
Tbh, i was sorta sad when xingjie and caoze didnt make the cut? They have shown such leadership and potential that its sort of a pity the group has only space for 9 and not 11 members.
My hearts also aches for Ruibin and Wenjun. They are such sweethearts and have really worked hard too. They werent given much screentime like the other popular ones, but I could see their passion and i really do hope I can see them again on a different stage.
Anyways, please do continue supporting the trainees as well as 9Percent!! (they legit gon be the first cpop band im gonna stan)
(( wow this post was longer than expected and gdi i just looked at the clock and its sorta glaring at me for procrastinating so yeah bb))
#idol producer#cai xukun#chen linong#fan cheng cheng#justin huang#lin yanjun#zhu zhengting#wang ziyi#xiao gui#you chang jing#9Percent

.
im honestly really happy for é河 bc they really went out of their box and tried something new and the arrangement was turned out really cool, good for fsc
but theres just something about their performance that feels off... besides the voice crack, it felt like xu yang was rushing? which is big issue for percussionists esp if he and fsc are supposed to be keeping the beat together... maybe im just not used to what electric cello should sound like but pengpengâs tone sounded scratchy to me again and i feel like he doesnt pay enough attention to the way he ends his strokes? and am i just hallucinating or is their mixing off again bc i just feel like i hardly hear zjy... again. but id love to listen to a studio version of this song bc i think itd solve those issues and the song itself is nice.Â
lol why do they keep showing jym when xy is talking???Â
oh i wasnt the only one who thought xu yang was rushing but yea he looked really into the perf and really excited and thats great to see hes really happy on stage but he also has to keep himself calm enough to keep the beatÂ
oookayyy theres also something off with the tempo in ĺçĄâs performance and maybe im just being too picky but it really threw me off when they transitioned from bjg to ljt in that first chorus. i think it was the guitar entering too early? i cant tell if i should be more picky towards jymâs drumming bc when thereâs rushing i usually go straight to the person whos holding the beat, and he should be the one keeping them together, but if someone else is rushing im glad he was able to keep up to at least rush as one group...lol. but i am glad that they were able to incorporate mujiâs sound pretty well in this type of song, i was a little worried about that at first. tbh i dont think ljt and bjgâs voices match really well LOL awkward. and also awkward that they didnt let ljt play guitar too? like hes just jamming out on air while bjg is singing. idk maybe its an optics preference but i just find it awkward.Â
i appreciate that ljt has really found a home in his group that can make him feel comforted. the way bjg was saying that ljt felt insecure on his own at the front but then comforted when he turned around and saw his group members behind him. that just makes me think of how lonely he must have been these last few years on his own.Â
i appreciate that they have dada making sure to call out each member so they have time to talk during this live broadcastÂ
i feel like dada couldâve called attention to the fact that he was a witness to ljt and zzn on mrzz1 more tactfully but okay that was kinda awkwardÂ
yoooo im down for a ljt x nana collab, their voices would be so nice ooÂ
lol i have no background on hyt and jmq, ill need to look into how they know each other
why am i not surprised hyt just like leaves them all in the dust of his go kart lollll im glad xiao xiong is gonna learn something new bc itll be good for him to have more than one thing to do, esp if theres so many other vocals in their group LOLÂ
but lol awkward ma zheâs singing is questionable. voice cracking aside, hes very pitchy today... hm i feel like he probably overworked his vocals during practice :\ but also i dont think they fit zhao keâs rap into this song well. his mic also isnt turned up loud enough, so the mixing feels unbalanced. wow hytâs outfit tho, this boyâs not playing around LOL also is it just me or does jmq feel unnecessary LOLÂ
poor ma zhe is feeling real guilty. i respect him for keeping it together as much as he is, you can tell hes really disappointed in himself.Â
isnt it kinda sad that ć°Łé literally had to mess up so obviously for them to get a worse score than é河... also i feel like tencent is prob using this opportunity to put ć°Łé third so they can boost ĺçĄ and fruit planet bc everyone knows ć°Łé doesnt need any more help LOLÂ
yo muji and xiao wu being bros yess
AWWW seeing xiao zhi complimenting qiang geâs suo na playing and then qiang ge being all modest like âi can accept thisâ AW i love them and i love how supportive xiao zhi is and how qiang ge can be proud of himself.Â
i just love how fun fruit planet it. im just so happy to see that xiao wu really helped pull yrz and qiang ge out of their shells! actually all of them really looked like they were having such fun and i think xiao wu has a part in this. i really like how fruit planet has a running theme of happiness but also simplicity. their musicâs sound has a simplicity to it that makes it sound easy-going and fun. not that the music itself is simple, but its just not overbearing and has enough pause and clarity that there are breaks in the song where you can see through the layers of sound and i appreciate that.Â
wow i dont remember yrz ever singing this strongly before. i think yrz and xiao wuâs singing both fit well, both have different edges of fun and freedom. and im grateful they used the suo na as a highlight bc it adds an important touch but wasnt overwhelming.Â
xiao wu calling out xiao zhi with respect for his leadership i loveeeÂ
yrz talking about how xiao wu gave him strength and qiang ge saying xiao wu gave him courage aw and i can totally see xiao wu bringing sunshine to wsh
lol wait..... they totally skipped you zi.... is this on purpose bc dada has literally called out every other contestant to speak prior to this.
ohh i totally forgot xiao wu did feature on mrzz1 with zzn lol what a coincidence. i always just think of the two of them being on cyzj together but yes i do hope that fruit planet can be #winners like zzn and xiao wu in the future too then hahahaha
IF THIS ISNT THE CUTEST THINGÂ
impromptu group hug!!! as gemâs complimenting how much xiao wu helped them and xiao wuâs just like hey hey listen to what the teacher has to say, kids!!
can we also talk about how ps literally used the same score sheet for all 3 previous perfs until this one he was like f it i need to give them a higher score LOLÂ
i love how nana is so proud of being a fruit planet member hahahaha can we pls talk about what fruit xiao wu is??? or will tencent not give zy the screentimeÂ
i never thought id need to see xiao zhi comforting ma zhe like this until now
man we all knew é河 was gonna lose but at the same time they lost by kinda a lot :\ but also man how will they ever explain anyone other than ć°Łé winning at this point LOL the difference is so real
man zhao ke including çąĺ¸śä˝ĺŁ in his lyrics last time and this time fsc mentioning çąĺ¸śä˝ĺŁ along with 202... oof xiao liâs the only one left. this shot is so painful çąĺ¸śä˝ĺŁ really left a big impression on zhao ke
man so many tears but i wonder if wjjw is gonna sign all of these kids lol
im excited for maomao to be on the last ep! i love his friendship with ljt!! but also kinda sad / surprised that next week is gonna be the last ep. this has been a heck of a trip but i cant believe itll be over soon. im wishing no matter what happens, fruit planet can keep making musicÂ
also completely unrelated i just saw a video of yyg talking to lry and tyler about childhood tv and him imitating âone more thingâ from jackie chan adventures im LOLÂ

1st post for the month of August 2017! And it's the 'Clash of the Reds'. Yes, a belated write up for Kyuranger episode 24!!!
NOTE: This recap-view is for the episode that aired on Sunday, August 6th, 2017 07:30 JST. It was initially meant to be published last week, just a few days after it was broadcasted (precisely on August 8th). Unfortunately, the plan got sort of derailed. Long story short... the social media detox that was only planned to last for a week, got unexpectedly extended for another because I was bedridden afterwards. So yeah, hence the long delay. But not to worry, recap-view for episode 25 will arrive very soon to make up for that!
- Assuming the show will be 48-49 episodes in total, that means it's officially around its halfway point. Yes, eventhough things are already feeling so heavy and serious, we still have HALF a season to go from here! NOTE: If it's 48 episodes in total, that means this episode marks the end of the first half. If it's 49, then the next one (episode 25) serves that purpose. - We should know by now that Kyuranger isn't the type of show that likes to drag plot points. This episode is just another solid proof of that. Just three episodes in, and Tsurugi's facade of bravado has been peeled away, revealing a more sentimental true personality. Interestingly, we also get to see him struggling with memories of the past. I wonder if it's in a way, implying that Tsurugi is suffering from a... war PTSD? O_O. In order to get to the bottom of this, he needs to know 'the truth'. Thus, he sends out Spada and Raptor on an important mission. Which of course, also serves as the show's usual excuse for characters to be absent from the episode. Not that I'm complaining... - But the two aren't the only ones who need to be... benched out. This episode is clearly a double focus for the Reds, as they try... or rather, 'forced' to work out their differences. Hence... it doesn't even take long for everyone else (sans Commander Xiao, who stayed on the Rebellion) to get literally swallowed by our MotW, Malistrate Gabbler! IMHO, this right hand of Tecchu is a scary MotW that should really have had higher rank in the Shogunate. Why? With his ability alone, he actually succeeds in taking down SEVEN Kyurangers all at once! WOW, right? - Anyways, eventhough he doesn't approve Tsurugi as Kyuranger at first, Lucky begins to... sense there's something 'wrong' with Tsurugi. Commander Xiao wisely helps him realize, that the 'legendary hero' tends to act the complete opposite to his words. Proof? Tsurugi's boasting about immortality, eventhough he had already lost that ability before his cold-sleep. And hearing a holographic projection of Don Armage making fun of his fallen comrades, causes him to lose his composure. Symbolizing that inspite of his words that dismissed them as 'expendables', he actually CARED for them. Also, he's telling the Kyurangers to be his shield, yet he's the one who does that to protect Lucky! Oh the irony... - Speaking of being a 'shield', the show introduces a new character in this episode: Kuervo (VA: Daisuke Namikawa, who previously voiced Engine Speedor in Go-Onger). He's one of Legendary 88 Warriors that represented the Corvus Constellation System, their strategic advisor, and also a personal close friend to Tsurugi. He was the one whom Tsurugi refered to as 'sacrificed his life for him', during the battle against Don Armage in the past. Thus obviously, he's the one responsible for leaving behind a deep 'scar of friendship' in Tsurugi's heart. Fun Trivia: The word 'Cuervo' is actually the Spanish word for 'Raven/Crow'. And yes, in case you're unaware, Corvus is the Crow Constellation! So as always, TOEI isn't even trying to be subtle when it comes to names. LOL. - Intriguingly, assuming Kuervo's truly dead, then that means there's only one sole candidate who might end up becoming the new Don Armage: Olion (whom you can see using a sword and a mostly white outfit in the flashback scene). Remember my theory that proposes Olion as the Darth Vader of the show? This reveal just adds that notion. Then again, we never really witness Kuervo's body (just like Scorpio) as well, so anything's still possible here. Beside, we also know how that much-hated Jedi eventually became Vader? Meaning we can't rule out anyone yet, because the rule of death is pretty much flexible in science-fiction. - Lucky challenges Tsurugi to share his story (get it? his-story? XD), even if just to put them both on the same page. Instead, that makes him understand the reason behind his stand-off-ish demeanor: Tsurugi simply doesn't want to sacrifice any more comrades in battle. Aaaaaw... T_T. That's why he wants to deal with Gabbler and Tecchu alone. So yeah, someone's definitely having a lone survivor syndrome! Tsurugi even proves that point, by taking Lucky's Leo Kyu Globe as hostage, to prevent him from joining the fight. Fun fact: I just realized. True to his 'Soldier' namesake, Tsurugi is acting like a drill-sergeant. Showing all tough and mighty bravado on the front, but secretly tries to protect his comrades. He even has his share of warfare PTSD. That's a really good angle right there. - Due to the duration, of course said twist doesn't last long. Tsurugi gets into a fickle due to his previous wounds, and Xiao and Lucky arrive to save the day. The younger Red then proposes a new 'system' to Tsurugi's face: "If the current saviors... and the old savior work together... We... can create a new legend!". So yeah, ignoring the fact that it might have arrived a tad too quickly (I WAS expecting more resistance and stubborness)... the 'Rivalry of the Reds' has been resolved. It shouldn't come off as too surprising though, as Draco Commander says it best... "Say what they will, these two get along pretty well.". Indeed, they ARE actually two of a kind. Probably the reason why they're both Red, right? LOL. - While Draco Commander distracts Tecchu, the duo works together to free the other Kyurangers. Good timing, because they are all (including the mechanical ones like Balance and Champ, the joke's on them) almost on the verge of having all their life energy drained! With none of them being fit enough to join the fight (thus preventing any of the mecha sans Gigant Phoenix to be used), it's up to the Reds to handle the giant battle as well. Taking down Gabbler is easy, but what can they do when Tecchu decides to tag along? That's when a miracle occurs. Or in the words of Tsurugi, "It's about to be truly legendary!". - Yes, the other 10 Change Kyu Globes (including those of Spada's and Raptor's... who are busy tinkering around with a lever-like contraption) join the battle in their own free will! They boost the power of Leo Voyager and Phoenix Voyager, thus forming... the 12 Kyu Globes combination, Kyutamajin. Gotta admit, it's a rousing and exciting sequence. As for the robot itself, when I first saw the catalogue picture, I thought the new combo looked weird and odd. But now that I've known the concept and seen it in action, saying I've warmed up to it would be a huge understatement. Because I'm actually DIGGING this combination! Sure, some parts still looks a bit awkward (like the giant ball on top of the head), but this is a smart design, that unites all 12 heroes in one mecha without overdoing it. And this is coming from a guy who actually liked those messy-complicated clusterfuck formation in Go-Onger and last year's Zyuohger. LOL. In a way, it's a solid mecha. - The problem is, only the two Reds are using Kyutamajin! And knowing how the internet works, this has surely rubbed some fans in the wrong way. Of course, since this episode aired two weeks ago (once again, this recap-view is a week late), everyone should know by now that there's a logical reason to why only Leo Red and Phoenix Soldier are sharing the control of this mecha: because the others are being saved for episode 25! LOL. Then again, it's not like the Reds aren't hinting about it throughout this episode. I mean, they ARE repeatedly asking the tune of, "Can we really move it with just the two of us?". They're not even being subtle about it. I guess impatient fans wouldn't be able to see these hints past their complains, huh? LOL. NOTE: Kyutamajin isn't even using its ultimate finisher in this episode. "Kyutamajin! Meteor Booster!" is a just a secondary attack that only manages to take down Gabbler. Don't forget, Tecchu is still at large! - Tsurugi officially joins the team, as proven by his Kyuranger License. Yep, the one that Kotarou delivered for the team at the start of the episode. Something that even Xiao hasn't owned before (hence why he 'forgot' all about it, huh? LOL). It's nice to see all 12 onboard the same ship, right? Hold on, the question here is... what about Spada and Raptor? - Turns out, they are in Planet Tocky of the Horologium System, in search of the Horologium Kyu Globe. Why? Because Tsurugi wants to use it... to travel back in time, and see with his very own eyes, what really 'happened' to Don Armage. Yep, time travel is the show's next big arc! And this discussion comes at the right time, because Spada and Raptor pop up on the communication screen with a 'distress call'. Why? Because something is going on in the Planet that can't be handled by only the two of them... A few additional notes before I wrap this up: - Bandai Japan released a Special "Henshin Series" episode after this episode was aired. And it was.... hillarious as always! I thought the company was going to release one after every episode (they should, tbh), so it was a bit of a bummer when the series stopped four months ago in episode 6 (following Mr. Pega's short-lived debuted). The fact that the previous extra members (Xiao and Kotarou) haven't had their time in the spotlight yet, also added to the disappointment. So obviously, the arrival of this special episode was more than just a pleasant surprise. That's right, because all extra members get their chance to show off! Interestingly, this video didn't include Phoenix Soldier's henshin pose. Does this mean we'll be getting another one in the future? Especially with that rumored new transformation gadget? Here's hoping... - More movie scenes can be seen in the opening, as well as the new trailer that debuted after the episode. There were two standouts from them. First, Leo Red is using Herakles Kyu Globe in the movie, to somehow deal with the Kerberos one. Second, there are obvious scenes hinting that Commander Xiao is killed in the movie. Remember, this is Japan and their habit of spoiling things in advance. Eventhough the movie is doing really good! Then again, should we really believe that Xiao is dead? I seriously doubt it. Just look at what happened to the Kamen Rider Ghost's summer movie last year... LOL. - Haruka Tateishi (Amu of last year's Zyuohger) is giving an exclusive on-location tour for Kyuranger's G-Rosso action show. Go ahead and see it, it's all kinds of fun. Makes you eager to see her character returning to meet the Kyurangers in the upcoming Versus Movie, right?
Overall: Tsurugi's 4-part debut arc has come to a close. Thanks to the show's swift pacing, it didn't take long for the legendary soldier to get grounded and humbled down. Even his signature arrogance has already been taken down more than a notch, revealing a more painful and broken nature. I love how he and Lucky seems to exhibit contrasting personality from one another, while in actuality, they are still the same color. Yes, the conflict between them got resolved a little too quickly for my taste. Then again, it also proved my point that they are basically two of a kind. And in a way, Tsurugi was welcomed to the team in an organic manner, so I'm not complaining. Overall, a great albeit imperfect episode, with a stunning but equally imperfect debut for a new mecha combination. But that's because the next episode will be... something else! You'll see... Next week: Prepare for tissue, because Kotarou is giving us all the feels! PS: Expect the recap-view for Episode 25... in just a few hours from now! ;D
Episode 24 Score: 8 out of 10
