#aventurine is naturally good at it. idk why. he just is

[teabutmakeitazure]

i applied henna on one hand and my mother had to do the other and hear me out-

making him apply henna on your non-dominant hand for you but it's so messy and it got everywhere and it just doesn't look good but the colour? oh lord, the colour. it's darker on the hand he applied it on.

("he" can be any of your faves. bonus points if it's someone not from this culture)

Okay, so, apologies if you've already written something similar to this, but have you ever seen this short film "Jinxy Jenkins and Lucky Lou?" (If not, it's on YouTube) So anyway, I was thinking, what about Aventurine x S/O that is extremely unlucky and prone to accidents (kind of like Bennet from Genshin) but when they and Aventurine are around each other their energies sort of... Idk how to word this, but negate each other? Like the reader doesn't have bad luck when they are around Aventurine and maybe Aven isn't as lucky as he is when he isn't with them (I feel like he wouldn't mind this and find it interesting).

Between Luck and Chaos

Summary: Aventurine notices an unusual phenomenon: your bad luck seems to disappear whenever you're with him, while his usually impeccable luck evens out. Intrigued, he views this as an exciting balance of fate.

A/N: I never watched it but thanks for recommending! There was a c.ai with Aventurine and the same prompt lol

Aventurine leaned back in his plush chair, fingers twirling a gold ring around his index finger as his sharp eyes followed the movements of his companion. His usual smile was absent, replaced with a faint glimmer of intrigue as he watched you attempt to pour yourself a drink.

Normally, this was the moment when everything would go wrong. In your life, bad luck was a constant companion—whether it was spilling coffee on your favorite shirt or tripping over the simplest things, you always seemed to find yourself caught in the chaos of misfortune. But today, as you carefully lifted the glass, there was no spill. No accident. No catastrophe.

You caught his gaze and smiled, a little sheepish but mostly grateful. "Guess I’m on a streak of good luck today," you said, half-laughing at how unusual the situation was.

Aventurine raised an eyebrow. "You?" His voice was amused, almost teasing. "With your... track record?"

"Hey," you protested, "I'm telling you, I never manage to go a day without something going wrong."

But there you were—standing confidently, holding a drink in your hand without it toppling over, with no sign of impending doom in sight. Even the way you moved seemed smoother, your every step measured and sure, as if fate itself had decided to take a break.

"You must be mistaken." Aventurine chuckled softly, though his eyes were still calculating, that ever-present glint of strategy flickering in the depths. "I’ve seen the way you navigate the world. Yet here you are, seemingly untouched by misfortune. Are you sure you’re not... up to something?"

You turned the glass in your hands, eyeing it warily before taking a sip. "It’s weird, I know. It’s like whenever I’m with you, things just... stop happening. Like I’m in a bubble of good luck."

His lips curled into a slow smile, his magenta and cyan eyes twinkling with amusement. "Interesting," he mused, leaning forward. "Perhaps you’ve stumbled upon a hidden advantage. A balance, perhaps." His eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "It could be... that our fates somehow negate each other."

You blinked, surprised by his conclusion. "Negate each other?"

Aventurine’s expression turned more contemplative, his hand now resting lightly on the armrest. "I’ve always thrived on risk, on the game of chance. But you..." He tilted his head slightly, a glint of curiosity behind his mask of confidence. "You seem to attract bad luck as naturally as I attract fortune. But when we’re together... perhaps our energies cancel out."

A silence fell between you as you mulled over his words. You had always been the person to attract the worst kinds of accidents, but with Aventurine, it was as though you were in some sort of bubble of safety. You had no idea how or why it worked, but it did.

"Do you... like it?" you asked, your voice tinged with both wonder and hesitation. "I mean, you thrive on luck, right? And if I’m around you, you don’t get the same kind of fortune you’re used to."

Aventurine’s smile widened, his usual playful arrogance tempered by something softer, something almost affectionate. "Why wouldn't I like it?" he said with a wink. "After all, the greatest thrill lies in finding the unexpected. Perhaps your unlucky streak is exactly what I need."

You raised an eyebrow, unsure whether to be flattered or suspicious. "Are you saying you need bad luck?"

"Not exactly," he replied smoothly, standing and walking toward you. His presence was magnetic, as always, his movements graceful but deliberate, like a predator toying with its prey. "But it’s... an interesting experiment, don’t you think? To see how far we can push this balance. To test fate itself."

You couldn’t help but smile at his enthusiasm, even though you were a bit nervous. "I think you're starting to enjoy this more than I am."

"Of course I am," Aventurine laughed, his voice light and teasing. "Because, my dear, life is a gamble—and I'm always up for a challenge."

His hand slid over yours, gently guiding your fingers with his own. For a brief moment, the world outside seemed to blur away, leaving only the warmth of his touch and the undeniable connection between you both. The sense of balance between misfortune and fortune, between his calculated risks and your chaotic energy, had created something unexpected: an equilibrium neither of you fully understood, but both cherished.

As you looked into his eyes, you realized something profound: no matter what the odds were, whether it was fate or chance, the gamble was always worth it—especially when it meant being with him.

hi wifey :3 here for the event match up !

hmmm for an ideal date i prefer either to go to the cinema, arcade or just to stay in okay games and watch old disney classic, ah and my favourite season is 100% summer.

as from which fandom i would prefer to be matched :: blue lock or league of legends <3 surprise me ~

hi ma chérie i love u more than any of these men can so never forget that ! also i added hsr because she dmed me if anyone was wondering (idk if people read other people’s matchups)

𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 : nagi from bllk

“nagi, baby, do me a favor?” your sweetly asked question caught his attention in the sea of bright neon lights. it didn’t take much thinking for him to figure out what exactly you wanted. after all, it always seemed to be the exact same thing whenever you had an arcade date together.

“where is it?” he asked back, his lazy eyes watching as you lit up into a bright smile. your hand was quick to catch his wrist, leading him to the one game that had always managed to catch your attention each time: the claw machine.

“i want that one,” you instructed, like always, pointing to the one plushie that caught your attention. and, like always, he swiped his arcade card to win you that plushie you desired so.

you knew it never really took him any effort to win you one. in fact, it always seemed to be the first try he got your desired plushie in. he should’ve thought it to be annoying—he thought. after all, you asked him to win you one every time. though, it was hard to think so after seeing you all happy once he offered you the plushie he worked so hard for.

𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 : ezreal from heartsteel

“are we watching lion king again tonight?” ezreal asked, his hands moving to adjust the face mask sheet on you. his hands were gentle, his face close and eyes narrowed to make sure he adjusted it perfectly onto your skin.

“mmm, yeah,” you murmured your response while sitting patiently on the couch. it had been routine for the two of you to watch a movie together at least once a week. the other heartsteel members knew well to steer clear from the living room on friday nights due ezreal’s non-apologetic clingy and affectionate self.

“‘kay, but you gotta sing the songs with me,” he set his condition, acting as if you didn’t sing with him every time. it didn’t take him long to wrap his arms greedily around you, while also grabbing the remote and setting the movie up.

despite his overwhelmingly clingy nature, you couldn’t help but feel at peace every friday night. it was like routine for you, comforting you each time. the tray of food that consisted of popcorn and fruits—which, he knew you didn’t eat, but still added anyways for good pictures—to the cuddle positions or the blankets that would surround you two. each time, it reminded you of why exactly you loved the singer, despite his clingy nature.

𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 : aventurine (ur welcome) from hsr

maybe his luck finally played in his favor. maybe the blessing that had been bestowed upon him hadn’t been so bad after all. you were like a rare patch of water in a desert—at least, he thought. all of you seeped into his brain, leaking and filling his once pessimistic mind to grow optimistic.

it was times like this where he realized just how lucky he had been. with the soft breeze but warm breeze of the summer wind brushing past the both of you while the flowers and grass danced below your knees. the way the sun complimented your brown eyes perfectly, letting him see a pool of honey. so utterly sweet—just like you.

he couldn’t help but let his mask slowly fall around you, finally finding someone to trust in. a smile graced his lips, mimicking yours perfectly after hours of observing the sight of you. maybe he could thank gaiathra triclops for something.

Thought of this, since we're both on the hsr brainrot right now lmaooo if Dan, Dave, Marina & Yves were playing hsr in a some kind of gamer/streamer AU(perhaps?), who would be their fave or main in the game?

Ohhhhh amazing question Ein!! Thank you so much for stopping by! 💜💜✨✨🫂

Gamer AU let's goooo! (new au added to the list lmao)

First of all just the thought of a gamer/streamer au is hilarious, i love it so much 🥹🥹 so I'm just gonna... ramble a lot lmaoooo

Putting it under the read more jail because this got so fucking long 🤣��

Dan

Dan would be a streamer and he would be a hardcore gamer kinda guy like... streaming for hours on end, optimizing his game play to the max, always planning ahead. He wouldn't really talk much and mostly be focused on the game with the occassional sassy comment that gets a laugh. His videos would be the kind you would watch if you want a perfect walkthrough for a game. He assumes he gets so many views and donations cause he's just really good at gaming and while that is true he doesn't understand that... tired pretty gamer boy is great for the wallet 🫡 (Dan continues to be oblivious about his appeal at the worst times please you are usually so observant Chief...)

For HSR his main would be Acheron cause... okay so I'm in no way a HSR expert i'm purely basing this of watched let's plays and my idk five days of playing the game. But from what I gathered... Acheron is super op and also her insta kill ability is so fucking broken and Dan would love the efficiency of it. Note that Dan would probably not really... fanboy about characters a lot, he would mostly chose based on stats, abilities etc. Though he would probably have a soft spot for Bailu cause she looks like a cute kid and has dragon characteristics (Dan like me can't resist a good dragon) which is also why he probably likes using Dan Hengs IL built as well.

Otherwise... the reason why Dan is so tired in this AU is because he keeps pulling all nighters while streaming, he's the type of person who gets in the flow and just... forgets that the outside world and passage of time are a thing. Marina often scolds him for that.

Dave

Davey-boy would also be a streamer and a youtuber! Unlike Dan his playthroughs are way more casual and mostly an excuse for him to endlessly yap about whatever comes to mind. His gameplay is more focused on humour and entertainment like doing blind let's plays because it feels like going on an adventure! He met Dan by chance through some kind of co-op event where they got paired up with (is that... even a thing in gamer circles lol? idk but it will be in this au cause i like Dan and Dave getting thrown together on fates whim that's always funny as hell). Dan was not amused at first but Dave got attached because "Chief's gameplay is godtier! Please teach me senpai!!!" Yes, Dan is still called Chief it's his twitch username. Also Dave is totally a weeb lmao. Anyways, after the event Dave just kept on bugging Dan so much until he eventually just gave in because it's less of a hassle (and because he secretly finds Dave funny but nobody tell the gremlin that!).

Dave's fav in hsr would be Aventurine, simply because he reminds Dave of himself. The cunning, the showmanship, his past... it hits close to home and speaks to him making the Gambler his favourite. Otherwise... he would totally fanboy over Boothill because Space Cowboys are hot 🫡 And once again in contrast to Dan, Dave would totally pull based on hotness of a character, he will collect all of the ikemen trust! Especially the purple ones which there are plenty of!

Marina

Marina would be a causal gamer, doing it in her rare down time when she wants to relax. Honestly, she gives me animal crossing, stardew valley, harvestella vibes? She's just here for the chill, but Dan got her hooked on HSR so she plays it too. She sometimes joins her brother in his streams when he covers games with a multiplayer option and naturally views and donations sky rocket on these occasions. For Dan that's a given because Marina is gorgeous and decent at gaming why wouldn't people fall over themselves to throw money at her? That's just the natural order of things.

Now favourite hsr character is... tricky. Hmmmmm, honestly her favourites might just be the Landau siblings, because their relationship would tug on her heartstrings and she likes Serval's rockstar asthetic. Also, the way Serval teases Gepard is a vibe and it reminds her of her and Dan's relationship which is always a bonus.

Yves

Now my first thought when I combined Yves and gaming was: V-tuber and honestly it fits, so let's go with that. They would make a lot of bank with their videos and streams because they know how to play an audience. Also, ngl I feel like Yves would have an OnlyFans... to make even more money...

Their favourite characters would be Black Swan for the mystery vibes and asthetic and Sparkle for the chaos and mayhem lmao.

And I know you only asked for these four but I'm gonna throw in two extra because I'm on a roll hehehehe

Cilmi

Cilmi would be a pure lore player. He gives no fucks about the game play and fights but the plot and all the extra bits. Yes.... that's the good shit. He would actually read every single fucking collectable note you have in the game. And I'm not exaggerating with this, he would fucking buy the lore in the shops (which... idk if others do that because I don't bother lmao).

Naturally his favourties are Dan Heng because fellow archivist and Dr. Ratio because fellow intellectual! Finally some people with class and correct priorities!

René

René would probably start playing hsr because Cilmi is super into it and he got curious, wanting to know what all that fuss is about.

He wouldn't enjoy it super much, finding all the different mechanics and modes overwhelming. Also, he would actually play the fights at normal speed which Cilmi will never understand (Cilmi speeds through fights and absuses the auto-play heavily, he's not here for fighting he's here for worldbuilding).

But René would love Clara, because she's just so kind?? so pure??? Truly such a good girl, he can't help but cheer her on. He would like Welt as well for his calm demeanour and Dan Heng because he reminds him of Cilmi a bit.

[gold-rhine]

Oh hsr... so then why did we spend a WHOLE PATCH with aventurine and his sad tragic backstory where some of it could have been in a character quest so the main plot could be paced better 🫠 I didn't mind learning about aventurine but I was like man are they going to cram everything into 2.2? And it looks like they did. Also what do you think of the pov switching? I'm not sure how it is like necessary 🤔 idk I mean I guess you can play as boothill but not really do anything with him. Maybe some of the plotlines like with sparkle will pay off in 2.3 but that's me being optimistic. I still overall like penacony story better than luofu but hmmm the philosophical ramblings not really going anywhere and there's going to be another IPC character that'll be playable which is oh boy I have no faith in the story writing of her. And firefly was um. A character. I liked her convo with blade! But other than that she was okay. Idk are any of the playable characters other than Robin even from penacony??? I know there's Misha and Gallagher but they're well... you know not exactly with us. I wish they went the hey yeah capitalism sucks direction rather than aww poor Sunday 😔 he just needs a hug 🫂. They were so close in 2.1 with him what happened???

LITERALLY 80% of 2.1 should have been aventurine character quest. like he's fine as a character, tho im not loving how slavery used for his sad backstory, but ignored that hes now doing it to others, but like literally nothing payed off in main quest. why did i have to hear him argue with his ghosts of past and future

i dont mind POV switching as concept, i think not tying us to the MC's view can be good for storytelling, but like, when it actually contributes smth? like in sumeru heist going from different parts of the plan makes sense bc we get to see how plan unfolds. boothill and sparkle literally didnt do anything that mattered tho, so like... we got to hear boothill being hey pardner at dan heng for like 20 minutes and nothing came out of it. they need to get an editor for real....

i have no faith in how they handle IPC at all after this one tbh. can we fucking stop with woobyfied sexy slavers. is it too much to ask

firefly was. a character indeed. like tbh im not loving how they use this "elio script" to just have stellaron hunters do whatever shit is convinient for plot with no logic or inner motivation. like she had zero reason to be here, zero personal goals. like its just cheap. also did she like die?? there was dialogue with raiden where shes like we should do it bc firefly cant go back to real world without dying, so we should honor her. did they like kill her off screen???

but like yeah, 2.0-2.1 AND part of 2.2 was like "capitalism sucks", but then it just goes ACSHUALLY capitalism is just natural order, should poor\weak ppl even have right to decide for themselves???? like what even the fuck

[nilboxes]

hi! i follow u on twitter (here now as well, just found out u have a tumblr lol) and i wanted to say that i love your interpretations of both aventurine and ratio, it's always such a delight to read and its obvious you put a lot of effort into them !! thank you for being on the frontlines for aventio !

Hello oomf! Thank you for dropping by and for the kind words. I'm glad there are people who do appreciate it! I know there are people out there who appreciate my stuff a little bit, but it's still nice to hear!

I do put a lot of effort into it, mostly because they are keeping my mental health intact (this is sort of a good thing and a bad thing) but eh! I was a hermit before this pairing, but I grew very tired of dreading rl-ers yap about all the crumbs we get from hyv and the other aventio-ers are also switch laners sometimes (not holding it against them! I was one too) so out of the cave I went... But that's great as long as we all get fed Aventio!! 😎

Now I'll react to your rant but we'll put it behind a thing so we're being polite... XD

I know what you mean! I can sort of tell whenever something is rl with just a glance at Ratio's eyes, that's what I mean when he's not being depicted as the princess he is. They really remove a lot of his femininity in order for him to fit the mold of the dom alpha top the reverse really want him to be and give all the femininity to Aventurine 🙄 I hate it so much but like I have to keep quiet and respect people because they are usually very lovely art, they just don't really capture Ratio OR Aventurine at all. I'm still annoyed about the other anon asking me about Foxian Aventurine, like I take one look at it and I know the artist is b/Av. 🤮

I always found rl to be very far from the spirit of the ship. They really seem to just stereotype Ratio into a role of big daddy who takes care of Aventurine by nature of his status as an educator, but Ratio is an educator in a very femme way that the rl never gets quite right. They just don't capture the silly-sternness innate in him and I think they miss what drives him to do these things in the first place, idk there's always something lacking in their depiction of Ratio, and it's clear it's due to lack of love for him.

Not to mention a lot of them seem to project their own "trauma" and "issues" such as crippling insecurity, self-doubt, self-hatred into Aventurine without really figuring out how *that* in particular would work with Aventurine because he is such a complicated character. Aventurine would never say he "doesn't deserve Ratio/Ratio's love" it's never that clear cut with him and his feelings. I do think by his nature as a gambler he would feel he has earned whatever he has through his luck, being deserving is no longer part of that equation, it has fallen on his lap somehow, he wants it therefore in a way he will accept it, but he can't just help wonder WHYY he has it at all. Coz stuff comes to him whether he thinks he deserves it or not, the mentality should have shifted long ago for him, he would wonder why, as opposed to what outcome for the other people involved, that fortune would come to him.

Anyway, I've rambled long enough for an entire chapter of a fic to navel-gaze at Aventurine's long and winding thoughts.

I guess I'll see you around. anon ♥
