It was a guilty pleasure of Neve's to listen in as the Crows discussed their childhoods.
"ÂĄPor el SantĂsimo Creador, Rook!" Lucanis exclaimed, throwing up his hands and letting his own chair skid back a few inches on the stone floor. "ÂżQuĂŠ demonios estaba pensando?"
Neve brought the mug of coffee to her lips. Rook was leaning back in their seat at the table, arms crossed, and Lucanis shifted to scowl fiercely at a spot behind Rook's shoulder.
"If I'm understanding correctly," Neve said, in a carefully even voice, "Your mentor actually bought you for the Crows?"
"I've killed people for less," Lucanis grumbled, putting his hands back around his own, delicate porcelain cup.
Rook shrugged. "He wasn't so bad. I helped him on a contract, so he paid my family off when he took me to Antiva. They would have been short on labour for the farm, otherwise."
They both looked at Rook, who finally caved. "If it makes you both feel better, he died with my knife in his neck a decade later."
"AsĂ se hace," Lucanis said with a sharp nod, tipping his cup toward Rook.
"That's it," said Neve, her tone dry but satisfied.
"It was a contract, though!" said Rook, looking up at Neve with a pleading expression. "I didn't do it for no reason."
Crows, Neve thought, raising an eyebrow. As if Neve would ever judge over a slaver's death.
Lucanis looked like he wanted to ask what the hell had been going on at House de Riva before Viago's ascension. Instead, he looked over to a a space by the fire and slumped back in his chair. The man brought two fingers to the space between his eyebrows.
"What did they get him for?" he finally asked.
"Nothing out of the ordinary," said Rook. "Tax evasion."
Neve set down her cup and laughed fully into her hand. "I should have guessed that," she said, looking up. "Maybe Treviso's a lot like home, after all."

Hi hi hi! I have a quick poll question for all the Atla fans that were at Comic Con Revolution today!
If you got in, reblog and put in the tags what time you got in line. If you didnât, reblog with how long you were in line for, and or what you heard/were told regarding wristband distribution. Iâm genuinely curious, lol
Me and a couple hundred other people were in line for over 2 hours and didnât get in đ
#I feel so bad for the family that flew to LA from New York and didnât get in#online it specifically said that wristband distribution would start at 11:30#but I talked to a couple other people that said they started giving out wristbands well before that#people werenât supposed to be allowed to camp out I thought but when I get there a half hour before distribution was supposed to start#there were already hundreds and hundreds of people on that floor#then they said that there would be a standby line of people they would let in if there were any no shows#so we waited in that line for another hour +#but instead of letting in the people that had been waiting for the longest#the staff decided to play like 5 rounds of âguess which number Iâm thinking ofâ#and then let in the people that guessed correctly#there must have been 2-3 hundred people who stuck around in the standby line and were pissed when everyone got turned away#what shocked me the most was how tiny the panel room was????#like they know how huge the avatar fandom is#and comic con advertised the shit out of this panel#why not put it in the main call where they could fit everyone instead of a tiny room that fits maybe 150-200 seats??#I wouldnât be surprised if there were over 1000 atla fans there that bought tickets solely for the panel#then almost all of them got their money wasted bc they werenât allowed in#not to mention the fact that there was little to no staff/security regulating the line(herd) of people#or anyone to communicate information and updates while we waited#the whole thing was so messy#atla#avatar the last airbender#comic con Revolution#comic con

I guess like every annoying trans femme, I'll put my nose where it doesn't belong. But isn't it weird how when we try to defend trans mascs, we use the most stereotypical examples of masculinity and force really rough and unrealistic expectations on them? I feel like we can do better, and while trans femmes that say only the most stereotypically aligned feminine people are allowed the privileges of being treated well, somehow it feels less common. Is this an issue with just us or our allies, I can't tell. Is this an issue of trying to one up a point, I can't tell. I know that intersex people have a similar issue when perisex people try to use them as a crux to justify trans people existing, while ignoring their experiences and struggles.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's not okay to be forced into a very tightly defined gender box. Regardless of if you're cis or trans, femme or masc. And we should seriously stop trying to reinforce a gender binary that is directly harmful to all of us. I'm a binary trans woman, but I know I don't slot perfectly into femininity and I frankly don't care about having to fit into that. So why do trans mascs have to slot into masculinity just so we have a gotcha moment to a TERF, that will still hate our guts collectively and want all of us to detransition or die.
If people want to be hyper feminine or masc, go for it. If people want to be partially that, great. If people wanna be a weird gender blob, heck yeah. There should be no rules forcing us to ignore and limit our own identity. Transphobes should not make us reinforce transphobia, regardless of its flavors.
#transphobia#transmisogyny#transandrophobia#hope I'm using the transandrophobia correctly#I guess I'm coming along to think that maybe we shouldn't be#forcing down things on other people and maybe just let them speak

Collecting Milkweed Seeds - All Facts, All Seeds, No Fluff
(OK but please also consider I'm not an ~expert~ I'm not a ~scholar~ I'm just a nerd on Tumblr who really likes milkweed and wanted to make a fun lil post about it)
[Image ID: a green, leafy common milkweed plant (Asclepias syriaca) with five large, ovalish and bumpy green seed pods. The seed pods are currently unopened.]
Itâs fall, which means if you havenât seen them already, nowâs the time that milkweed plants will start producing seed pods! (Well, technically, theyâre called follicles, but fuck it theyâre seed pods). Each pod has dozens of seeds inside, some species can even have up to 200 seeds, so even collecting just a few can be a good way to boost your pollinator gardening efforts big time! What you do with them then is up to you--adding life to your backyard garden, sharing with friends, making seed bombs--but first youâve gotta collect them.
The first thing you want to do is identify your milkweed plants--in an ideal world, youâd be able to tell precisely what kind of milkweed youâre collecting from (so you can know precisely what growing conditions that species prefers.) But when theyâre dying back, forming pods, and releasing their seeds, it can be hard to tell. It helps to visit sites early, to know what milkweeds are there, and while youâre there you might even find some forming pods.Â
It can be helpful to band off the pods early! This will keep the seeds from escaping, so you can come back later and collect them! I would only do this for a couple of pods--each pod has a lot of seed in it, so only taking one or two from each plant should still net you plenty of rewards! When Iâm doing this in my backyard, I tend to use rubber bands--the size of rubber band youâll need varies depending on the species. Iâve also seen people use the lacy-looking jewelry bags to a similar effect--if the pod splits open, all the seeds get trapped in the bag!
[Image ID: the first image is of appears to be swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) with about fifteen long, green, smooth and pointed seed pods. Most of the pods have small black rubber bands wrapped around the midsections. The second image is of what appears to be common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) with two large, ovalish and bumpy green seed pods. A white fine mesh bag has been tied over the pods.]
For people who want to get seeds from unopened pods, you have to be very careful not to force open a pod that isnât ready--otherwise, the seeds inside wonât fully develop. How do you tell if a pod is ripe? Thereâs a seam in each pod, and it should open fairly easily with minimal pressure if itâs basically ready. If youâre basically prying it open, youâre too early. The seeds inside should be a nice dark color, and be plump in the middle--if theyâre creamy colored or light orange, youâre too early. There may be some undeveloped seeds in each pod (I am talking maybe 1 to 3 here), but if the majority of them are ready, youâre good to go!
[Image ID: a tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) seed pod that has been opened at the seam, revealing dark brown seeds and lots of creamy white floss. Four seeds are floating away from the pod on fluffy white comas. The pod is being held between a white person's fingers.]
Iâve also seen people who go late late late into the season, after most of the pods have already fully split off and released their seeds. Some of the seeds occasionally stay in the pod, so theyâll take the leftovers that didnât get scattered after winter passes. Thatâs a fair strategy! I prefer to get mine way early on, so I can get a clear ID of what kind of milkweed it is (some will flower and produce pods at the same time), but if you already got an ID early in the season and then come back later this can also work! ButâŚ
[Image ID: several dried brown seed pods have opened fully, releasing a cloud of milkweed floss with seeds attached. Some seeds are still in the pods, but many are primed to float away.]
There is, however, one thing that tends to be a bit annoying about collecting milkweed seeds--and thatâs the fluff. These fluffy white bits attached to the seed--called comas--function similarly to the iconic fluffy dandelion seed. A milkweed seedâs coma allows it to float through the air and on the water until it (hypothetically) reaches bare soil or an otherwise suitable start to settle down and germinate. If youâre collecting the seeds for later use, though, that same coma can mean your milkweed seeds are traveling through the air and away from where youâre collecting them, or all over your apartment once you get them home. Removing the comas by hand is an option, but tedious, and still leads to a nice pile of fluffy that will get airborne at the first gust of wind. At the end of the day, for many people trying to collect milkweed seeds, the coma is just an annoying part they dread.
Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to collect milkweed seeds without having to deal with the comas long-term!
[Image ID: A single brown milkweed seed floating on a comparatively huge mess of white fibers.]
Method 1
So this is my favorite method because it's honestly one of the simplest and easiest once you get used to it. You open the pod, grip the top part of the middle âpithâ section tight, and gently scrape off the seeds into a bowl or bag. This leaves you with almost no fluff in your collection bin, and you can then toss the middle fluffy part--or Iâve heard of people collecting milkweed fluff for spinning! Most of the videos Iâve seen on it use common milkweed or other large milkweed pods as an example--however, Iâve successfully done this with smaller milkweed pods like A. curassavica as well.Â
youtube
Method 2
This method is one Iâve used in the past. Take the seeds and fluff and put them into a bag (paper or plastic) and add a coin or two. Shake the bag around--a lot. The coin will dislodge the comas from the seeds. The seeds will then drop to the bottom of the container, and the fluff will float around on the top. Iâve also seen this with buckets and blocks, like in the video below!
Method 3
Iâve seen a handful of people discuss burning the floss of the seeds! Apparently the seeds themselves arenât damaged badly by the fire, though honestly this is a method that I am simply too anxious to try myself.
youtube
Method 4
This was a method I found while I was looking for other methods people have done. Apparently, you can just roll the pod between your hands and itâll work to dislodge the seeds? I may have to try it next time!
youtube
Hopefully this advice is helpful for you all! I know collecting seeds was a hassle for me before I learned my favorite method. If I had a nickel for every time I got yelled at for releasing milkweed fluff into the house...
If you've got a method that I haven't heard about yet, let me know!! I'm always down to learn more about milkweed, and it can also help someone else down the line!

Very amused that people who don't know me at all read apparently half of what I posted earlier on I/P and decided my take that "I don't support any nation state and think we should do away with all of them but since this is the system we currently have it's decidedly antisemitic to single out Israel as The One To Destroy Above All Others and we should instead support peace and safety for both Israelis and Palestinians" is equivalent to "genocide is good actually." Like I know this is tumblr, aka the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension website but also like, idk, maybe learn to read before yelling at random people online and accusing them of supporting genocide? Also for the record, it's *really fucking weird and antisemitic* to yell at random Jews on the internet and accuse them of supporting genocide because they have Opinions You Personally Disagree With.
You can, in fact, simply block people who's takes you don't like. It's free! And easy! You hit the three dots at the top of the post, it opens a drop down menu and you select "block". Now the person who you think has Bad and Evil Opinionsâ˘ď¸ will never show up in tags for you again! Problem solved! They might, unfortunately, show up on your dashboard if someone you follow reblogs something they posted or added to, because tumblr is slightly broken in that regard, but you will be saved from their opinions in tags. And they won't be able to interact with you! And there's even a handy feature you can use to hide *all* content they've ever made/posted, even stuff you're dearly beloved mutual who thinks they're cool reblogs. You just, blacklist the username. Now they will show up as filtered content and you have to manually unhide any post that mentions their username in any way, saving you from the Opinions You Don't Like. And they're free to continue *their* internet experience without you yelling at them for tagging things with something that is a general filter/sort/information tag simply because *you* think their opinions are Bad and Don't Belong There.
#look i know i stepped in it by making a post about i/p at all#let alone by actually tagging it#but i really don't appreciate the fact that someone fucking yelled at me#for the crime of *checks notes*#tagging my i/p 'palestine'#like oh my bad for using the tumblr tagging system correctly i guess???#sorry i wanted mutuals who have the tags 'israel' + 'palestine' blacklisted#so they can choose when/how they want to engage with upsetting & potentially triggering content#the actually ability to chose???#like i'm very bad at tagging reblogs generally#but i try to tag any original posts that might be upsetting or triggering correctly#bc people use filters & blacklists & i don't want to be the reason those don't work!#i haven't had posts that gained notes quickly in years so uh that was a 'fun' experience this morning i guess#definitely a different brand of hate than the autism posts used to get#tho i did get some uh interesting anon hate back in the day#can't wait to see what being openly jewish on the internet brings *there*#(narrator voice: he could indeed wait & dearly hopes people will be normal about this)#antisemitism

I think a really underrated trans headcanon is like. Really closeted. Not stealth. Really closeted and either doesn't know yet (egg) or does know but is afraid to transition for xyz reasons. Because 90% of all trans headcanons I seem to see are slapping some scars or a binder on a guy which is fine and good!!! Love scars in art think we should absolutely romanticize the marks left by becoming happier in your own skin right but also like. Idk some headcanons I'm like I don't think he's ready to reach for that happiness. I think he's scared of choosing things to improve his own life.
#beeep#yes this is about furina genshin impact#also u may note that i was mainly talking about transmasc stuff and that is for two reasons: one because furina is the character in mind for#this but two because people rarely ever have ANY visual cues on their transfem hcs. its like theyre afraid to admit that sometimes trans#girls dont look cis? but i mean i guess that makes sense too since the binders and scars are usually the Only tells on the trans guys hcs#but also theres a lot of political baggage over trans people not passing and it opens u up to hate and blehhhh#but like yeah. i think furina is a trans guy but i also do not think hes going to be telling Anyone about that for a While#and u might think based on the username that this is projection but no im in a slightly different situation#where i half tell people cus my name is blatantly masculine but since i dont look masculine nobody genders me correctly and im so tired of#correcting. but like my friends know yk#i do not think furina is telling his friends. i think he is far more likely to disguise himself and go to another country and tell a#stranger rather than risk letting his friends know things. hes not used to that its felt dangerous for centuries.... yk...

Sometimes I get sad and annoyed about things that literally don't matter at all lol
#maja talks#(me reading 5 month old tweets saying the copenhagen crowd for ateez was dead)#like no it wasn't and also it's been 5 months why am I sad about those tweets now LMAO#it does make me wonder what the criteria of a âdeadâ crowd is tho#like someone wrote it was so dead that they could hear the members speaking clearly on their videos#but to me that is just manners? Like it's manners to me that you don't scream when the members are speaking#other people say a crowd is dead when people sit down too much but you can literally be so hyped while sitting down too#other people said the crowd wasn't as loud as other places but i'm pretty sure it one of the smallest crowds of the tour#so what do you expect#people were literally screaming their lungs out when it mattered and sang the songs and stomped(?) on the floor#I guess I just don't understand some people's definitions of a dead crowd#(try going to a concert in Korea then you will meet a dead crowd lol)#again this literally doesn't matter I just got annoyed reading the tweets lmao#again it's been 5 months and the only reason I saw those tweets is because I'm going through a trying to relive the concert phase lol#the members seemed like they had fun (wooyoung even mentioned the concert as one of his faves in an article if I remember correctly)#I had fun with my friends and that's honestly the most important#everybody are inclined to their own opinions#and again this is old news so it really does not matter LMAO#(I still don't think a crowd is dead just cause they let an artist speak and be heard at a concert)

'Parents must be fully involved' in student's decision to change pronouns, Ontario education minister says
Gross. Because so many parents are just okay with their kid transitioning. It's not like a kid of SIXTEEN years can have their own identity without consent from their parent/ guardian...
This is going to cause a crisis. A mental health crisis in youths. There already is a crisis! I believe children and youths are humans, and this is a blatant violation of their human rights and our jobs to protect them.
Some people have really crappy parents when it comes to coming out with a new pronoun. This is going to cause a skyrocket in depression and probably sadly teenage suicide...
We need to start asking our kids, their kids, everyone's kids what THEY want.
What do pronouns have to do with a child's education? Why is this a priority over schools having updated learning experiences? Updated courses? Even hiring more social and youth workers?
Why do they just not use any pronouns before 16? Names are there to be used.
This is a target Ontario. By Doug Ford.
Sorry, I am appalled by Saskatchewan's government, Ontario's as well. Our government (Canada as a whole) likes to say one thing "progressive" and then do the opposite and carbon copy of how little changes that has lead to so much danger in the United States, and other countries around the world.
This endangers lives just to make the people who are older, biased, and heavily hold outdated, values feel better.
Stop pandering to the boomers and the echo boomers. These are not the people who we need to target. Younger voters (gen x and later) are too busy fixing what those generations broke to go vote. (Just as a side note me, my partner, and several of my friends all of the same age did not receive their voting registration. This puts a huge hurdle out there for us. It means we have to wait in line for possibly hours to wait in another line to fill out the form the government should have sent you. Last time I voted it took FOUR hours before I was done. Many companies pressure employees that they can't leave to vote because it takes so long. You get a maximum of three paid work hours to vote. Most people are bullied into trying to go after their shift, even if it's really not feasible.
Funding has also been cut in mental health resources. I don't believe these kids will have any form of mediation or help from the school or government. They barely had it when I worked in the school sector. There are not enough social workers to go around. Working in the school sector I had to cover 6 schools in 5 days...
Working in my sector is exhausting as well because there aren't enough of us to go around here either. My shift ends for me to stay around five more hours to finish my documents...
I don't remember anyone asking us if the government should cut funding to hospitals, mental health programs, education programs, or if my child needs my permission to use the pronoun of choice! I don't remember asking for the police to get license plate readers for all cruisers or to give the government officials raises and freeze doctors' wages even lower because doctors are willing to take a cut for more nursing staff. Where is the democraticy in this?
This was my personal opinion written under the article.
Stay Golden Everyone âď¸ đ đ

Idk if you've seen it, but people are saying the last picture of AFO in the new chapter makes him look a little like Bakugo when hes mad. Grandpa for One with Bakugo đ¤đ¤đ¤
I have not seen any last picture but I'm just gonna say uhh *spins wheel* that's just the people who were really super disappointed that Second didn't have ash blond hair reaching to cope
#look i correctly guessed he was a redhead i get to be a little smug about it#anyway. that'd be interesting because i think Bakugo does indeed share many similar traitsâ habitsâ and scenes with AfO and once made a#bunch of handshake memes about it so yeah he can get it from his grandpa. and let's be real also his mom#that whole line...... l#well as All Might said. there's some dark dysfunction there#pocket talks to people#anon#uhhh#bnha manga leaks#bnha manga spoilers#again. i guess. because i still haven't actually seen anything dhgjgvjg

Iâve had an increase in rainbow aura with my migraines lately (I used to get them once a year, if that. Now, Iâve had it twice in one month) so Iâve become somewhat paranoid whenever something flashes over my vision.
Sometimes, it's just light reflecting off my phone, but it still makes me freeze up in a fear response when it happens because it usually means Iâve got about 20 minutes before Iâm in agony.
Apparently, this new paranoia extends into my dreams now, too, because I was running down a long corridor, aware that there was something behind me that I needed to escape, but all of a sudden, in my dream, rainbow zigzags consumed my vision, and I stopped, dead and went, âfuck, migraine.â
That's when I became aware of James Bond/Daniel Craig standing beside me, gun drawn.
âOh, shit. Do you need to lie down?â he asked while I stared at him.
I said, âWhat about the thing chasing us?â
âOh, donât worry about that, darling. If you need to lie down you can lie down. Iâll just kill them.â
I blinked at him for a bit, still winded from running then said, âSure,â starting to get to my knees, ready to lie down on the cold stone floor beneath us.
âSure?â
âYeah. Kill âem. Iâm just gonna...â I gestured vaguely at the floor. âBe right here, I guess.â
âYou can go upstairs, you know,â he said, loading a fresh clip into his gun. âThis museum has a hotel on top of it.â
âOh good,â I said, starting to suspect this was a dream and not Daniel Craig about to murder the people chasing me because I had a migraine. âIâll do that then.â
So I got back up and started climbing the stairs that looked an awful lot like the stairs in the Kelvin Grove Art Gallery, only to abruptly walk into Deathstroke and Nightwing doing their best to kill each other in the corridor of what was clearly a hotel based on the room service tray Nightwing was using to deflect projectiles.
They froze. I looked at them. They looked at me. âIâve got a migraine,â I said,
âShit, sorry,â Nightwing said, putting down his tray as both men stepped back to let me walk down the decimated corridor. âWeâll be more quiet.â
âRoom 13 is open,â Deathstroke helpfully informed me.
âIs there a body in it?â I asked, now leaning against the wall, less walking along, more sliding.
âNot anymore.â
âDo you need anything?â Nightwing asked, âpain killers? Ice pack?â
I waved them off and made my way into room 13 where David Jason dressed as Detective Jack Frost looked up at me from the book he was reading on the bed.
âThis is a dream,â he informed me.
âNo it isnât,â I said, despite knowing it was as I hobbled over to the bed and flopped down beside him. âAnd this room was supposed to be empty.â
âOpen, not empty,â corrected Jack Banon who had taken David Frostâs place, dressed like young Alfie from Pennyworth as he sat beside me on the bed, leaning back against the headboard. âThereâs a very distinct difference between the two. Oh, donât look at me like that. Who do you think moved the body?â
âI need to sleep,â I said, âif I can fall asleep, the migraine might go away.â
âThat's all right,â he said. âYou do that. Iâll make sure no one else comes in. Oh, just one thing before you do.â
He reached into his pocket and pulled out something I couldn't quite see and held it out to me. âYouâll need this.â
âWhat is it?â I said, my brain doing the dream thing where it refuses to read books or interpret numbers correctly. âI canât see, what is it?â
âOft, sorry. Canât tell you that. More than my jobâs worth.â
âYouâre job...â
âYeah.â and thats when he leaned over, stuck me with a needle and said, âNight night.â
And I woke up to the sound of @mothman-etd getting into the shower and Holly Mop wiggling under thre covers with me.
First words out of my mouth were, âWhat the fuck?â
And then I immediately pulled up Tumblr to write this down before I forget it because what the fuck.
Didn't wake up with a migraine though so... *knock on wood*

I can understand being fed up that a mistake you make keeps getting corrected in tags, but saying you don't actually have to make sure the numbers are right when the whole post is about converting from imperial to metric is a little silly.
Anyway, if you like me, keep getting fucked up bc googling feet to cm doesn't actually do the feet and inches to cm conversion, googling "x feet x inches to cm" will save you the headache
#'not the arbiter of conversions'#what#'i don't actually have to do it correctly'#i mean i guess not#anyway#tho fun fact i have a bad habit of saying 'you' as a hypothetical person so when i used it in the tags i went#'oh op might think im addressing them directly instead of people who follow me and see the tags. lets remove that'#that did not in fact fix the issue Imao

claiming that rue the fictional character rue from the show euphoria who is overtly severely mentally ill to a heartbreakingly accurate degree and canonically diagnosed with OCD on the show as a child "doesn't have OCD" she's just "annoying" is absolutely insane. that's really something else. i'm gonna kill youtubers
#my crazy conspiracy is she was not diagnosed correctly as OCD but regardless is at an equal if not worse level of distress and impairment#like rue from euphoria is running laps around your problems nichole give me a break i'm gonna throw up#let me guess she's glamorizing mental illness. everyone on youtube is so so stupid intelligent people do not have time to make videos#like this type of commentary video you know exactly. there's some insanely intelligent people creating on there but they dont do THIS lmfao#also gabbie hannah is clearly mentally ill beyond the point of common ~relatable shit but you won't swallow that because you're parasocial#don't have to like her but to say her mental illnesses arent consuming her they're just a bother. you're insane and stupid. into the pit

âcould you be seen with me and still act proud?â
⢠Jing Yuan, Argenti, Aventurine, Dan Heng, Blade, Xiao, Childe, Wanderer, Zhongli
⢠Star Rail / Genshin x [GN] Reader
⼠(their answer + reaction to this question)
⼠(comfort / fluff)
⧠- JING YUAN
âWhy, of course. I would hold your hand up for the whole of the Xianzhou to see.â
This was pretty expected of the sly general. However, what was unexpected was the way he took you in his arms and lifted you upâbridal style. You begged him to put you down as he opened the doors of his and your room, now making his way outside to remind the whole Xianzhou that you're his and he's yours.
⧠- ARGENTI
âDearest loveâof course, I would be so proud to have the chance to take the hand of mortal beauty itself, and, if it were chivalrous, I would boast about your beauty everywhere I go.â
Ever so poetic, Argenti pulls your heart strings again with his creative (yet cheesy) lines. He loves you; that's a fact that nobody can deny, and he believes that you were sent down by Idrila herself with how attractive you are. Without a hesitant thought, he backs away and offers you his handâwill you accept the offer in which he takes you from place to place, hand in hand, to show the whole world that your his love?
⧠- AVENTURINE
âYou wanna take a bet? Here, I'll take you out to dinner if you guess my answer correctlyâget it wrong, and I decide on what I'll do with you.â
With a wink and a smile turning into a smirk, it's always hard to guess what Aventurine is thinking, but with the clock ticking, you hardly get time to really think, and so you curiously answer with âno.â A smile grows on his face, and he leans in close, holding your arms. He whispers in your ear, âI guess that means you have to do what I tell you tonight.â
⧠- DAN HENG
âOf course. I do... I do love you, after all.â
His sentences are kept short and simple (with a little bit of blush), just like how they always are. Now, unlike most people on this list, he isn't bringing you outside to let the world know that you're dating, but he would feel and does absolutely feel proud to have you as his love. He reassures you that he would never feel embarrassed or feel the need to hide his love for you, no matter the crowd he's surrounded by.
⧠- BLADE
âYes. Nobody's taking you, and nobody's taking me. Everyone had better know that you're mine, and the same goes for me.â
His response was rather threatening, but that's typical with Blade. His words are as sharp as his sword, but they're also as meaningful as sharp; his intent is nowhere near ill towards you, and he only means that he's dedicated himself to you already, and it's a dedication that he would never feel embarrassed or guilty for. Now, take his handâhe'll promise the world that you're his tonight.
⧠- XIAO
âYes. Why wouldn't I be?â
In Adeptus Xiao language, he means, âyes, of course I would. Archons, holding your hand is a blessing itself.â And, though he doesn't admit it, he still feels it. You are his first and only love in several millennia. You, of every person to ever set foot in Liyue, managed to capture his heart when nobody else could. Xiao loves you, and he feels that he will forever, so he prays you'd banish him if he ever hurts you or hides his love away for something trivial because that means the karma got to him and that he's gone mad.
⧠- CHILDE
âOf course, babe! You know what? Let's go on a date right nowâ everything's on me!â
And that's simply Childe. Without a word, he disappears and reappears with your favorite outfit in hand, and has you put it on (in private as he waits outside the bedroom door), and when you're done, he's suddenly dressed nicely with roses in hand, and he takes you out on a date. How? No clue, but know that he's letting the whole region know that you're his right here and right now.
⧠- WANDERER
âHuh? That's a stupid question. Why are you asking me, anyway?â
Yes. He means yes in every way possible. His sharp tongue speaks the opposite, but Wanderer truly means that he would show you off to the world if he had to. If he has to, mainly because he finds the concept of love in its entirety as stupid, but he also loves you too much to let you leave him, let alone have someone else think that you're some vacant partner just waiting to be taken. Now, hold both of his hands. He'll glide you above Sumeru City and show everyone there that you're his if you're still thinking about the question.
⧠- ZHONGLI
âWell, of course. Would you like to take a walk around the harbor for me to prove that?â
Zhongli senses your insecurity, and he wishes to alleviate your worries, so he takes you to a popular teahouse by a bridge. It's not that grand or special, but he keeps you close to him as you both sip away at your tea and embrace the company of one another.
yes, this was a heathers reference.
