#i just wanna see dottore cry man

[mothergold]

you know a character is your fav when you wanna see them just breakdown in tears

[neuvilletteswife4ever]

Can I ask yandere dottore and pantalone (separate) x an angel reader who bleeds gold 😜😜😜

HEY SOO IM ONLY DOING DOTTORE CUZ I CANT WRITE PANTALONE THAT WELL......

Warnings: Blood, Obsession, forced experiment, brain experiment to supposedly fix readers 'attitude', in short, Dottore is a warning and that will tell you a lot about this.

I do not support this kind of behavior!

Dottore

When Dottore first found you, in that small little village, he immedietaly felt something different.. Something that he had never felt before. Some people would call it love, some would call it obsession, but he called it 'curiosity'. Because, how would such a small little thing like you, be able to capture HIS attention?

So, as anyone would, he stalked you. He learned every single thing about you, your likes, dislikes, how many times you breathe a day, everything! But there was one thing that he was truly interested in. Those wings of yours. Your wings were ethereal, he said it himself, a rare compliment coming from him.

He needed you. You're sole purpose was to be by his side, forever. Even if you don't know it yet.

So, he had a plan.

He'd kidnap you and truly make you his, forever.

And so he did.

You were now sitting on a soft white chair while having your wrists and ankles restrained, while being blindfolded because he can't have you run away. Not that you'd be able to, he has thousands of segments watching your every move. But it was just in case, he can't take ANY risks.

As you woke up, you found yourself in a dark room. Maybe you were dreaming? Why were your ankles and wrists restrained.. and after a moment, you finally realized, that the room wasn't dark. You were blindfolded.

"H-huh...where am I? Is someone there?" you called out, your voice trembling with a mix of fear and hope.

The segments, who were just watching your sleeping body, got up immedietaly as they realized that you woke up, they immedietaly went to go inform the harbinger. The one who was behind all of this..

You suddenly found yourself crying.. why was this happening to you? What did you do to deserve this?!

Dottore walked in to the room, signaling the multiple segments to get out of the room so he could talk privately to you.

"Hello, I thought i'd introduce myself to you. Since you'll be spending the rest of your life with me." He says calmly, as if you weren't freaking out in front of him. You couldn't see him since you were blindfolded, but there was a dark and powerful aura that came from him. The thought of spending your entire life with a random man sent a shiver down your spine.

"W-Who are you?! What do you want from me??!" You sobbed, "J-Just let me go! Please!"

He grinned, but you couldn't see it.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. This is your fate." He says coldly, but there was a hint of obsession in his voice.

Slowly, he took of your blindfold, savouring the moment of touching your beautiful face that was created by the heavens themselves.

You trembled, and quickly looked up at the tall figure, and when you realized who it was, your face turned white.

"You...you're the second ranked harbinger!" You said, barely above a whisper, gasping before continuing. "No..no, please! Don't! I don't wanna be here!" You cried and sobbed, but it was as if he didn't care.

His grin wavered slightly, he didn't really care if you wanted it or not. As long as he had you near him, that was all that he needed.

After that day, something in your life changed.

The thought of having one of the most dangerous people in Teyvat kidnapping you was unbearable!

You tried to gain his trust, but he obviously noticed your act, but he decided to go along with it. It was better than having you cry every moment of having him in your sight.

After a long time, he took of the restraints. He knew you'd try to escape. He knew you'd do anything to get out of his grasp. But you couldn't. And you knew that.

One day, he was doing some experiments on some people as usual, he had you near him like always. You were used to this, the gruesome sight. You looked in the shelves, and found some weird sharp thing, and you accidentally cut yourself with it. You let out a small whimper, and Dottore immedietaly turned around.

"What happened? What did you do-" He stopped when he saw you bleed. Your blood...was not normal. You were bleeding gold. How...he had never seen this sort of thing.

"Oh? You've never told me about this...Hm.." He thinks for a moment and grabs your hand, looking at the small cut where the golden "blood" poured out.

"I..uhm.." You stuttered, not knowing what to say.

"Hmm... i'll do some experiments on you and "learn" more about this ability of yours, and i'll fix the attitude you've had for the past month. It'll only hurt a little, my dear..."

Suddenly, you felt a sharp pain in your back, a syringe..? You couldn't think as you slipped out of consciousness, but at that moment, one thing was clear. He wasn't really in love, he was simply obsessed with the concept of 'love'.

Maybe one day, you'll escape, even if that day may never come.

*runs to give out creator idea before the seat is gone*

Dragon.

But not just any dragon.

Small chonk dragon.

(If you know about twisted wonderland I’m picturing Malleus in his dragon form in book 7)

Hehe the chonker ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹ ᰔ

Imagine if you made your home in the Northland Bank, much to the Fatui’s chagrin-

And you surround yourself in mora. And the Fatui can’t do shit.

Why wanna know whyyyy?~

Because you are the Regrator’s little dragon~ you’re there to protect all the gold, precious metals and jewels.

Pantalone found you one day, guarding a single mora. He saw you, thought for all of two seconds, and took you in.

Now you guard a giant pile of gold >:)!

Also the fact that your breath weapon can switch through all 7 elements and are extremely strong ANYWAY-

The way this man would pamper you. You know those villains with that cat in their laps? Yeah that’s you guys.

He loved feeding you gems and stuff (like Spike from MLP lol) in front of his… less than well off colleagues. You cannot tell me this man isn’t just as sadistic as Dottore, just in a different way.

One breaks you physically, the other mentally (and breaks your bank).

Mans probably took out one of the most EXPENSIVE AND LEAST COMMON ORES IN ALL OF TEYVAT, one that could pay off GENERATIONS FOR DEBT FORM HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES, and just. Fed it to you.

He loves seeing his underlings cry what can I say.

You wanna know what would be worse? If you were somehow connected to Zhongli.

Probably more like a dad thing where you don’t have a human form but multiple dragon forms. You found a nice god, settled down, she rolled a nat 20 to seduce the dragon-

Boom Zhongli.

He goes to the bank to cash a check or something and sees what he thought was his long lost father on a Futui Harbingers lap just living life.

Old man vs Older man who’s gonna win?

This is a beautiful concept ૮꒰˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚-

Extra note: Yo I wrote this in notes without the post up for reference and ideas and went off the rails just realized this is Creator Dragon fuck how do I explain the Dad-li ark uh… uhhhh…. DRAGON WAS A DILF IN REAL LIFE AND TEYVAT WAS LIKE “Neat, have another son” OKAY BYE-

[fatuismooches]

Currently in my bed just fantasizing about having kids Dott.. Like, if it was through normal means or you somehow got Dottore to create a baby in his lab, I find it very amusing if the kid came out looking just like him.

This little baby with the same curly blue hair and red eyes as Dottore :(( He just stares at the child, unsure how to react. I bet during the first few months he’d be very unsure how to handle his child, sometimes not even wanting to hold them out of fear he may hurt them somehow.

Everyone is confused why Dottore made a child segment, everyone just kind of assuming his child was a segment. It’s not until they grow old enough to walk around and figure out how to slip out their father’s arms to explore the palace people start wondering what Dottore’s actual relationship with this child is.

Other Harbingers and even some lower ranking Fatuus see how Dottore grows agitated and almost anxious when the child leaves his line of sight, the doctor’s already short temper growing even shorter as he snaps at anyone until he can find the child.

Dottore eventually begrudgingly telling some of the more nosy Harbingers he has a child after they grow a bit too curious. Word travels fast and it’s not long until you have a few low ranking Fatuus and maybe even a Harbinger like Pantalone or Childe asking how you could possibly want to have a child with Dottore of all people.

I just.. hoghh i know the harbingers r like war criminals but i wanna be all lovey and domestic and have families with them 😞😞 [📺 Anon]

To convince Dottore to have and raise a kid with you is such a procedure that couldn't accurately be put into words. Here you have a man who doesn't have the slightest bit of father material in him. It took ages for him to love you, will he be able to love his child? When he struggles to make peace with himself and yet his kid is the spitting image of him? Surprisingly enough, he takes these things more seriously than one would ever think because he is self-aware and clearly remembers how his own parents treated him.

He's most poor at taking care of small children, especially when they're crying. And even when they're quiet and docile, Dottore still can't bring himself to do anything, his fingers flexing awkwardly. His hands just aren't suited for this gentleness. However, I think he gets more comfortable when the kid is older. He likes talking with them and expanding their mind. Making them toys and puzzles that are probably too advanced for their age. And seeing how the child is a mix of both him and you, your features are ever so endearing... even when the child inherits your mischievousness and goal to terrorize him. Over time the relationship gets better and the child and father get a lot closer, even though it started off pretty hazy at first. You're very proud of the progress.

(Okay but people thinking his kid is a segment... that is just too funny because the idea of someone having a kid with the Doctor never crosses their mind eh? And people being nosy and asking you questions 😭 poor reader, how can you explain you just wanted a family with the love of your life? Not a perfect one, but a happy one.)

He's definitely not the model father but he does have you to help him out, and teach him slowly but surely. He truly does love his child even if his affection isn't shown in a typical manner. Regardless, it must have worked out, considering the child loves their parents very much. A little menace in the making...

The war criminals will be unconventionally domestic with you I promise!!!

Falling for Red Flags

Dottore II x Innocent!Fem!Reader

Warnings: Smut, NSFW, Machine Fucking, Non-con, Dub-con, Degradation, Yandere, Emotional Attachment, Crying, Manipulation, Size Kink, Manhandling, Dottore actually loves you.

Summary: Dottore was the only one you had, the only one that shows you love, so even if he likes doing some questionable things to you, you just take it. This time around, he has a new invention that he really wants to try, and of course, you're his little helper yet again.

Prompt: "You like this, huh? How kinky."

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

The man with light blue hair had stripped you down bare, before strapping your little figure on a cushioned table. You, as always, complied, looking up at the masked face of your husband, smiling at him.

Dottore loved to see your body all naked and exposed, especially when you're helping him test out his projects. He just forced your shaky legs apart, hoisting them up at the special attachments of the of the table you're lying on, tying them up to make sure you wouldn't squirm off, like you did last time.

You were scared of course, if this is anything like his past works, it would wreck you apart and fuck you till you could only release incoherent babbles, reaching your arms out for him and sobbing on his shoulders when he would plug your cunt with his cock, right after the experiment.

"D-Dottore..." The masked man had only shush you, pulling out a little remote from his pocket and pressing something that had the machine buzz with life.

"Can my sweet slut stay behaved for this one?" He kneeled down to your level, caressing the top of your head with a gentle hand. "You don't wanna make me upset." His tone was hard as if he's threatening you, but despite that, the voice from his mouth is the only thing that ever expressed the sweetest and most intimate words that was actually directed to you, so you didn't mind the harsh tone.

You needed him, you're pathetic without him, he'll make sure you know that.

"O-Okay..." You agreed, you see that one side of his lips curve up, smiling at your answer.

"Very good."

Shivers ran through your body as the giant machine started to buzz louder, it looked like a smaller version of a Ruin Hunter, attached to the table just between your open legs. The usual blade for a hand that a Hunter has was replaced by a thick tube with a rounded out tip, just like a dick.

The shaky feeling only gets worse as Dottore had pressed another bottom, and looking down to see that the robot had moved his dick like hand, the tip settling on your pussy, tears form in your eyes.

It's bigger than anything you've ever took before, about the size of your forearm.

"Don't back down now." The Harbinger had seen the hesitance on your face, his red eyes glowed in intimidation as your teary ones have looked back to meet his. "I won't let you."

An ear-splitting scream breaks out of your mouth when the machine's dick had forced his way inside you, your scream surely echoed within the hallways of Zapolyarny Palace. Your walls had immediately stretched, trying desperately to accommodate the gigantic dildo that was shoved to the hilt of your pussy.

"NOOO! STOP! I CAN'T DO THIS!" You exclaimed, your hands trying to break out of its chains in distress. The dick inside you sets up a fast pace immediately, kissing your cervix every single hard thrust. It was just too much.

Your pussy lips clapped around the base of the machine's cock, too stretched out by its brutal size.

You felt so worthless, not being able to do anything as the machine violated your hole, hands and legs tied down, nothing to do but watch in horror as the machine sets up the hardest pounds at your aching cunt.

Dottore could only laugh beside you, loving the look of your bare body squirming away desperately, only to be stopped by the thick straps of the table. And the bulge on your pelvis up to your cute tummy, moving as his machine drilled its attached cock into you.

When the masked man has pressed another button, lifting up the cock inside you, your hips had also been forcible risen up to follow his command. "PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!" It was so tiring, lifting up your hips as you feel your insides ache from the harsh thrusts.

You felt like a ragdoll, being played around and dragged up helplessly against your will.

Dottore is mean, but everyone else was meaner, that's what you believed.... that's what he made you believe.

"Hahahah, this is working far better than I hoped..."

You kept on shaking your head at him, your face was stained with tears as you try to squirm away from the machine. "No, no, no..." A hard thrust finally sent you over the edge, nipples and clit hardening, toes curling when you came, your cream covering the machine's cock, all while you whimpers escape your mouth.

"Wasn't that fun?" Dottore had clapped his hands, chuckling at your dumb fucked face, tongue out and everything. "You say to stop, but you just came so hard. A brief example of a little lying slut."

His fingers landed on your stomach, pushing down on the bulge caused by the cock still inside you, it sent you crying. "You like this, huh? How kinky." You finally reacted, immediately shaking your head at what he said.

"No! N-No more, please!"

He sighed smiling, "It's funny that you think you have a say in all this." At his command, other arms had shot out of the Ruin Hunter, grabbing onto your thighs.

"AHHHG!" Screams emit from your throat when the arms had dragged your thighs up, forcing your entire body dangling as it holds you up, the dick once again drilling your cunt, faster than ever.

The machine had broke the straps keeping your body on the table, but now, you're just dangling as one hand holds your leg up, only your head was resting on the table, giving you a perfect view of your own cunt getting wrecked and the bulge on your stomach.

You cry, desperately trying to get your husband to shut off the machine. "D-Dottore..."

This is better, you tell yourself. You'd rather be here than get abused and assaulted in Mondstadt, right?

He finally wrecked you, despite the machine looking like it's fully breaking you in half, Dottore knows that he was the one that caused the most damage. And he loved it.

The masked man had worked so hard to make you his, pulled you away from Mondstadt to fulfill your true purpose, being his wife.

Especially from that red head boy, Diluc. He's got to make a mental note to take care of that guy, so he can stop bugging the Harbinger about you.

As you keep on cumming for hours, begging and crying with hands clasped together, babbling nonsense from overstimulation, even falling asleep from tiredness, Dottore never stopped the machine, he just loves seeing his wife get absolutely ruined.

He wonders if you could take two machine cocks at once next time.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Mhhhmmm, yandere content... I liked writing it a lot, despite me accidentally leaving without saving half of what I wrote, but it was fine *tears up*

Jokes aside, I hope you enjoyed reading this and thank you so much for requesting!!!

Analysis of Scaramouche and Bohemian Rhapsody’s lyrics

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see

As Scaramouche himself says, “The stars, the sky... It's all a gigantic hoax. A lie.", likely in reference to discovering that the sky in Teyvat is fake, as hinted by Dottore.

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me 

Reference to Scaramouche’s anemo vision and blasé attitude 

Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away

I think this could be referring to either many of the plausible deaths he caused, or maybe even his death as a god. “Life had just begun” for him as a god and he “threw it all away.”

Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Generally referring to his negative relationship with Raiden Ei and thinking she had abandoned him for being weak, possibly in an ironic way, telling her to “carry on” as if she even thought twice about him after ‘abandoning him’.

Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go

After being defeated by Nahida and the Traveler and gravely injured. As he says in “Wanderer: Ashes, “Once more... I have lost my heart. It hurts. My skin feels like it’s on fire.”

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Entering Irmunsul to “face the truth” and attempt to erase himself.

Mama, ooh  I don't wanna die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

Spoken by him in ‘Wanderer: Ashes’: “No, in fact, I wish I’d never been born at all.”

I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouche, Scaramouche,-

Obviously ‘Scaramouche’ is his name given during his time at the Fauti, likely as an insult as it means “a boastful but cowardly person.” It could also refer to a type of puppet.

-will you do the Fandango?

The theme during Scaramouche’s first introduction is named “Ominous Fandango”, Also, in his profile under “Least Favorite Food” he states: “I'm no fan of Dango, or any other sticky sweets....” which is an odd way to word it, possibly intentional so it reads out “fan … Dango.” Raiden Ei, notably, is a fan of dango milk and sweets in general.

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me

Reference to Raiden Shogun and Inazuma as a whole.

(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro magnifico

Galileo was an astronomer who challenged beliefs held at the time, such as the Sun being the center of the universe rather than the Earth. This could be referring to the idea that the sky in Teyvat is fake, as hinted by Dottore. Scaramouche also proclaims himself, “The stars, the sky... It's all a gigantic hoax. A lie." It’s very possible that Scara, upon becoming a god and making contact with Irminsul, learned the true nature of Teyvat and its sky. (Credit to Scara’s wiki for pointing this out)

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!

Raiden Ei’s demon name is Baal/Beelzebub. I think the “devil” she put aside for him may be referring to Yae Miko, who proposed to Ei that Scaramouche should be killed shortly after his birth instead of set free.

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby! Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

This could be about all three of his ‘betrayals.’ The line “So you think you can love me and leave me to die?” makes me think of the child who ‘betrayed him’ by dying, and ‘Just gotta get out’ could be referring to him leaving Tatarasuna to wander Inazuma.

There’s probably a lot that I missed, but this is what I took of how the lyrics correspond to his story. Again, credit to his wikipedia page for pointing out a lot of this

[eluxcastar]

Why did it take me so long to respond you may be asking

Well you see I looked at it, read it, and then fell asleep and by the time I woke up I was so busy I didn't think about it until now 😭

House of Wolves is literally THE Harbinger piece ever I don't think anything will ever tickle my brain like seeing them all decide that trying to rip each other apart is the best option which is EXACTLY what they'd all do because they're all such like conflicting personalities. They all secretly hate each other and got shoved in one big get along shirt (and this side note was what prompted me to make Brighella just as volatile because she would kill several of the Harbingers given the choice starting with Dottore and specifically him because they're such different people that they couldn't get along if a million years passed)

Anyway this is about loverboy and apparently J Michael Tatum which RUU ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU DON'T JUST HAVE A THING FOR THE GLASSES WITH THECHAIN BECAUSE I MUST DIRECT YOU TO PANTALONE'S GLASSES so fair though because glasses make everyone hotter

I haven't heard the other voices except the Russian one 😭 which iirc that was a fanmade one (unless they made an official one? Not to my knowledge) THEY COOKED like Pierro's Russian voice 🤌 AND PANTALONE OMG but I went to listen to the Japanese voice just so I could complain about it and tbh I'm inclined to agree. That voice doesn't suit that twinky man too deep

I AGREE ON THE TEMPER because he had to simmer for a while and now he's been microwaved to perfection 🙏 he was younger once and naïver and had a bad temper all of which tbh are probably why he got loverboy's father killed but with time he's become a better guy when it comes to hiding his emotions and regulating them

YES exactly kinda he's like loverboy's strict mom or a teacher like eat your vegetables so you grow big and strong twinky boy I want you to collect lots of DEBT and break lots of fingers for me in the future ☝️ loverboy is getting there anyway—exposure is making him desensitized—but he needs encouragement, a push in the morally bankrupt direction that might benefit him but will also really benefit Pantalone and at a time when their relationship is almost entirely professional that's his greatest interest

I don't believe it was someone of importance, a coworker who loverboy got a little too comfortable and a little bit stupid around and said a word too many which in a line of work where being a grimy snake is beneficial is not a good idea 👍

I have apparently taught you another expression I hope you enjoy my vulgar way of speaking 🙏 BUT YEAH LIKE. I KINDA WONDER WHY HIS FATHER EVEN STAYED 💀💀 and tbh I feel like it makes sense loverboy does too. He flip between loving and hating him as all half orphaned sons do because he's angry, he feels he may always be angry at him, but he also loved him. It's a contradiction that just exists because sometimes he thinks of all the things he did with him and sometimes he thinks about how much it hurt to not see his father for long stretches of time. That's also so real because like I got this exact feeling with Brighella I was like if she was canon I would want her to step on me this is like the third time simping for my own characters but in my defence everyone else simps for Neru too so that one isn't just me

he'd whimper so cute though and so PATHETIC like that real wet moppish cry-adjacent whimper

The revisions 🙏 I refuse to accept anything but Liyue Pantalone mihoyo can take that over my dead body I am reading some respectfully because it FITS I might throw it into the lore I'm currently writing

I also wanna add I feel like when loverboy hesitates to the point Pantalone has to step in he'd probably get a bit pissed because does this man have no survival instinct??? And that helps lead to Pantalone microwaving him, take that vision for a test, fix loverboy's earlier mistake, and set him back on the right path. At that point, he's a subordinate, so if he dies, then all Pantalone loses is another Celestia-approved wet mop and there's plenty of those to go around.

An interest, maybe, but not as intense as when loverboy comes back. Their first meeting is strained by hierarchy and loverboy is as bright-eyed and busy-tailed as a fatuu can reasonably get in his position.

I also agree with THAT YES it is the development of taking in everything those three years gave our dear loverboy—good and bad—and trying to use it somehow while he tries to carry on with life once he leaves. Three years of being surrounded by the craziest people he could ever know that sticks with him and most especially the interactions he has with his boss because they were the strangest.

They're what he dwells on until he inevitably goes crawling back to the Fatui now equipped with a spine to demands Pantalone take him back and fulfill his offer no matter how much time has passed

Another side note while checking the masterlist of loverboy tomfoolery I noticed there were TWO versions of one of them ⁉️ other person cooked I loved it I experienced loverboy

Ok lets go SImply reblogging your oneshot for my req isn't enough i need to analyze and annotate the entire thing like a literature professor and tell you Everything. (✿◡‿◡)

pantalone might be ooc

He's not!!!!!! by which i think this is fairly a Really Good portrayal of the guy considering the 5 sentences we know about him. He's strict!!! frankly a little scary!! And also chill and positive about loverboy!! But it felt Just Right!!!! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

descriptions of blood

description so good i might as well have killed that man myself

...pretend that his lore has a spot where this fits perfectly

I think i can make it fit!! would you be cool with making minor changes if so?

"You're very good at what you do."

Imagining the same voice as sebastian michaelis saying this with the sexiest buttersmooth voice is eviscerating me. Very self-indulgent but praise kinks will always slay so hard.

...on the verge of stabbing him a moment ago. 

This,, and the small thing i wrote about loverboy launching them both out the window to escape an onslaught of assassins in my other req. get you a ship where one of them has completely normal knee-jerk reactions to kill the other <3

...as he crushes their hand beneath his shoe without mercy

Fatui Harbingers - House of Wolves - KIERU 0:15

...Instead, Pantalone looks unfazed by it all, stopping as he reaches the other side of you, free of most of the blood. He greets you with a knowing smile as he usually does.

hey ririto this is so ominous and eerie for some reason not known to me. Just the backdrop of grey and snow and probably a gruesome corpse right next to loverboy and Pantalone has a silent smile through everything. Delicious sentence 10/10.

"I knew making you a banker was a good idea,"

THIS IS SO. The confidence and quite calm assurance that pantalone says this with is SO. You'd never be sure whether to lean into it and let out a sigh of relief,, o r back up further becuase it sounds so good but all in the wrong ways.

...thumb brushing across your bottom lip slicked with blood.

fellas is it professional to feed double edged words of honey to your young inexperienced subordinate while kneeling in front of his battered and bruised self who killed someone for you,, and run a gloved thumb across his blood soaked lip. ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )

"Who knew you had so many other talents,"

you are infusing these dialouges with crack cocaine giggling kicking my feet while being slightly concerned because Sir. What do you mean by that.

"Ah ah," he says, a harshness seeping into even just that sound. "Stay."  You stay put,

thank you for making loverboy so Ouppy.

"Lord Harbinger," you try to say

yes,, this could be a minor thing to adjust: i think we could actually fit this oneshot somewhere AFTER he gets his vision,, and BEFORE Pantalone becomes the Harbinger Regrator. Can be a valid reason for Pantalone to see that reader failed to kill the assassin from their shitty negotiation meeting,, and wanting to newly test him again after he had his vision + ambitions awakened to see if he can get past the fear of killing NOW. (Even then,, maybe due to inexperience/unfamiliarity of using visions, reader didn't think to raise his advantage of supernatural powers against another visionless man in this scenario.)

I'd think his first kill was one of the factors that caused him to leave after his 3year duty, not sticking around for Pantalone's promotion to Regrator.

"You are much like your father."

Top 10 things Not to say to someone with daddy issues-

...they're as wet behind the ears as you are.

Dear diary, Today i learned a new speech of expression

...Pantalone's hand that rests on your chin moves... "Now, try again. Dear banker, whatever do you mean?" 

this whole paragraph. What on earth do you mean 'ooc pantalone'. This is the MOST pantalone thing you could've written. Strict and intimidating about improving reader's meek attitude. a Push in the right direction.

"Is this a test?" you manage, words muffled by the way he squishes your face like putty beneath his fingers.

(thank you for making loverboy so Ouppy) x2

...and you know who, regardless of how 'anonymous' that source may have been in his words.

I MAY BE STUPID. （；´д｀）ゞ I CANT TELL. who you are hinting towards 😭😭

"Hold this," he adds, an unnervingly tender instruction for the way he was just behaving. 

There he is. its reminding me of: the same pantalone that washed reader with a clock in my very first req to you.

...looking probably about as pathetic as you think you do.

POV: You're Pantalone looking down at Loverboy.

I forgot how much of a bug-eyed wet dog loverboy is before his time-skip "character development" so to say. Thanks i love him.

"next time someone approaches you from behind, don't wait to stab them. Don't reach for your wet knife with your wet hands, either. Both of those things will get you killed."

I think pantalone is entirely having too much fun with observing Loverboy try climbing the ropes to how REAL fatuus run business.

"Come now. You want to go home and back to Liyue, don't you? I'm tired of this cold." 

Σ(っ °Д °;)っ back to liyue??? Loverboy is Liyuean??? pantalone stays in liyue??? I ALWAYS THOUGHT arlecchino called pantalone a bitch in Signora's funeral for "never leaving the comfort of his homeland?" Whuh-?

ALL IN ALL,, CLOSING THOGUHTS,, GOOD FOOD RIRITO DINNER HAS BEEN SERVED, ATE, AND LICKED CLEAN 10/10 ILY

I GOTT THIS JUST BEFORE I WENT TO SLEEP AND ONLY JUST GOT THE TIME TO ANSWER IT BUT I KNEWWW YOU WOULD GET THE HOUSE OF WOLVES REFERENCE

That is true actually and I realised after I posted it that like, wtf is in character for him?? 😭 he's said like two things and while I have memorised those things they're not a lot to go off but I'm glad you enjoy him (ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪

Also if you can make it fit, feel free ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ I sorta only had a vague idea of where it might go, but at that point in time, loverboy works abroad in the Northland Bank. I'll also throw in that he travelled there for that job and unfortunately does not come from Liyue 😔 (unless he's supposed to?? I got the impression he was from Snezhnaya) it was more a "I bet you'd love to be back at a desk job rn" or something to that effect, loverboy is going back to the bank once things are settled where he belongs but Pantalone isn't going with him (hence why they're in Snezhnaya when this happenscause I also interpret at as him not liking to leave Liyue)

I'm so glad the J Michael Tatum love never stops but also you're so right praise kinks absolutely do. I also noticed that them trying to kill each other is like, a repeated theme so far 😭⁉️ LIKE WHEN PANTALONE WENT TO FIND HIM LAST ONESHOT HE WAS GONNA KILL THAT FUCKER

Confident possibly mildly degrading Pantalone is literally my favourite thing, like I chew on him. I chew on him being unnervingly calm because what would he have in the eyes of a wet mop boy besides an unwavering poker face. Get yourself a man who uses the blood of your enemies like your lipstick and knows he made good choices stationing you at his shady probably money laundering black hole of debt he calls a bank

Yk I agree actually I was trying to figure the timeline out in my head and realised it would've made more sense to happen before he was a Harbinger so I agree with this revision that actually makes it fit the lore and if I ever decide to make it a longer multichapter fic I'll definitely fix that 💀 t'was a victim of laziness

YES YES THIS Pantalone basically shaping him up so he doesn't literally die and being strict with it get so him. He'll prompt him to say it again but won't let it slide because that behaviour isn't going to be beneficial, especially not with someone who may be working under him long-term

I went back to read the part about the anonymous source line came from, and I think I figured out what happened here, so allow me to explain  (;ﾟдﾟ)   Ok so, it has a bit to do with the weird way I wrote this because when I said I wrote this on the train that was half a lie. I wrote some of it on the train and the rest at the library where I also edited what I already had because the spelling mistakes were atrocious. I did write down who it was but cut it when I decided it cluttered the story a bit which retrospectively was also a mistake because I didn't think about the fact it would seem like I was hinting at something at the time (ﾟ▽ﾟ*) the shorter, boring answer is that there's no one Ririto did a big silly and cut context in the chaotic editing this suffered

LMAO NOT THE CLOCK AGAIN

I love him the wet mop boy. I was like I want him to be at least a lil pathetic rn because his concerns are completely different. He's thinking about how to not die, and how much he misses his mom and his much fatui dick his dad must've been riding before death to think this career path was worth it (slash JOKING but he is still wondering why his father would have done this job willingly) that and I think men who whimper are cute thanks for coming to my Ted talk

HE IS ENJOYING IT and I love it sm

Hehe I am glad to know you haven't gone hungry today (^o^) and such high ratings for the banker and loverboy

[princess-of-france]

Also- since Love's Labour's Lost has been on the brain, and you are such a cool theatre person: dreamcast for LLL? Thank you so much!

OMFG MY FAVORITE COMEDY YES YES YES 

*blows kazoo*

(Also, I’m cracking up at you thinking I’m a “cool theater person,” because I promise that’s a wonderfully accidental illusion; in reality, I’m just a cryptid who’s entire genetic makeup consists of triple-espresso lattes, Gmail push notifications, Shakespeare plays, and tears. But you’re very kind!)

Before I answer this amazing Ask, I think I should clarify that my dreamcast for LLL already exists — or, at least, it existed in 2018 — and I had the dazzling, life-affirming pleasure of seeing them perform my beloved plotless comedy at my favorite theater festival on the planet: the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

So here’s to Amanda Dennart and her IMPECCABLE Love’s Labour’s Lost:

^^^ Yes, that is King Ferdinand of Navarre, played by the once and future Daniel José Molina, meeting the Princess of France — the fabulous Alejandra Escalante — with a paper bag over his motherfucking head so that he doesn’t break his kingly oath of Not Looking At Female For 3 Years. (Fun fact: these two are now married!)

[Photo credit: Jenny Graham.]

BUT NOW TO THE MAIN EVENT:

Critically, I think LLL is a play about eight young people experiencing love for the first time and struggling to reconcile that love with their desire to be the Cleverest Person in the Room. Like so many whip-smart young people, the Crazy Eight equate cavalier carelessness with power, but the problem is: true love requires radical, wholehearted, unbearable vulnerability. It demands chaos and madness and mess and mistakes. True love asks us to be willing to look like an idiot. And most young people just aren’t ready for that, the first time it happens. It’s why the ending of this play is so goddam devastating.

And it’s why it’s so important to me that my cast list for the Crazy Eight reflects the youth, innocence, and inexperience I see baked into every one of their lines. Love has to seem like a first-time visitor to all of them. Love has to shake up their worldview like a snow globe, bowl them over, and then leave them impermeably altered. Love has to be the thing that makes them grow up. 

So, with that, I am proud to present...

~THE NAVARRE NERDS~

1. KING FERDINAND OF NAVARRE — Paapa Essiedu

Love of my complete life. I don’t know if there’s a better actor with a bigger heart anywhere on earth. His Henry VI was utterly inspired, so I know he can be Kingly. Plus, he’s a passionate advocate for decolonizing Shakespeare and making classical theater accessible to all and...yeah. I adore him. 

2. BEROWNE — Anthony Boyle

THIS IDIOT. I had to find a picture of him laughing, because he’s played a lot of Moody Broody Types, but OMG when he cracks a grin... Anthony is just a jewel of an actor: versatile, intense, thoughtful, emotionally articulate. He’ll keep Paapa’s Ferdie laughing, but also bring out the big guns for Berowne’s gorgeous character arc from horny cynic to lovesick wooer to chastened fool.

3. DUMAINE — Alfred Enoch

Perfect angel darling. There’s no doubt in my mind that Alfie can do Smug, Suave, Would-Be-James Bond Dumaine as well as Dorky, Clumsy, Foot-Constantly-in-Mouth Dumaine with equal flair. Also, I love him. <3

4. LONGAVILLE — George MacKay

Apparently, this sweetheart is playing Hamlet soon in the new Ophelia movie, which is HILARIOUS, because he looks like the most Innocent Innocent to ever Innocent. I suppose this is what makes him a good actor. And he is very good.

~LES FILLES~

5. PRINCESS OF FRANCE — Lily James

This goddess is always getting cast as ingenues who fall in love with their eyes and hearts wide open, which is all fine and good. But I wanna see her fall in love against her will, against her better judgment, and with stubborn denial attending her every step of the way...partly because Lily is up to the challenge, and partly because it would be precious af.

6. ROSALINE — Karla Crome

BAMF. Berowne won’t know what hit him. Karla is talented in a way most of us can only dream about, but even more importantly, she is whip-smart, self-possessed, and in love with herself. Get it, girl.

7. KATHARINE — Shay Mitchell

It’s hard to beat Shay for Sleek, Feline Intelligence. I like to imagine Katharine as the ultimate duchess: rich, spoiled, overeducated, overprivileged, dressed to the nines every minute of every day. But she carries so much pain behind the mask. Being fabulous is no substitute for losing your big sister. And I think Shay can do justice to all those layers.

8. MARIA — Francesca Mills

I had the honor of seeing Francesca in Rachel Chavkin’s epic production of American Clock at the Old Vic this past winter. In a cast of over 20 brilliant actors, she emerged as the brightest star. I have never fallen in love with an actress so quickly. Sweet, inquisitive, sassy, and smart, with a crystalline voice, Francesca is the ultimate heroine. Her Maria will be the most adorable in human history, I think.

9. BOYET — Tamsin Greig

Imho, no one does Blustery Spinster Energy better than Tamsin. (See her performance as Miss Bates in the 2009 BBC miniseries, Emma.) My favorite version of Boyet is the adult female chaperone that the Princess and her ladies gleefully dress up as a man to stymie Ferdinand’s guards. It makes 5.2 all the more giddy and revelatory, and also it just makes narrative sense. Tamsin will play the beleaguered and increasingly exasperated Wine Mom to perfection.

~THE PSEUDO-SCHOLARS~

10. DON ADRIANO DE ARMADO — Riz Ahmed

I just can’t even express how much I love Riz. He dissolves completely into every single role he plays, no matter how absurd the character may seem on paper. And that is a very pertinent qualification for playing Armado, because he has the hard-fought distinction of being the most Abjectly Batshit Character in this bonkers play. Also I just really wanna get his autograph help

11. MOTE — Kiernan Shipka

THIS GIRL. Oh man, I don’t even know where to begin. She’s so flipping good at her craft, and at such a young age!! Honestly, I’d hate her if she weren’t so damn precious. All she needs to do is learn how to do a Scottish accent and then she’ll be 100% ready to play the wee snickering Watson to Armado’s pirate-Holmes. I’ve always read Mote as Armado’s platonic life partner slash surrogate daughter. She’s probably the only person in the world who knows Armado’s social security number. (Plus, Riz is a sweetheart, so you just know they’ll become great friends!)

12. DR. HOLOFERNES — Olivia Colman

What can I say? She’ll play the broad, slapstick comic relief stock character of Il Dottore to perfection...right up until the moment she doesn’t. Then she’ll make us all sob. “This is not generous, not gentle, not humble!” (V.ii.2570)

13. NATHANIEL — Cyril Nri

Can’t you just see this angel loving the crap out of Olivia’s Holofernes?? Like, he probably built an extension onto his rectory home JUST to give the famous visiting Italian academic a place to stay during her time in Navarre. Great actor, great human, great smile. 11/10

~BELOW-STAIRS~

14. COSTARD — Andy Samberg

My only Costard. I mean, he’s the only white boy I know who could play such a cowardly fuckboi of a character without turning him into a 2-D caricature. Not to mention the fact that Andy is a spectacular improv actor, so he can invent a lot of new lines and jokes for the hallboy! Win-win!

15. JAQUENETTA — Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Because I want the oft-disregarded Jaquenetta to be the Narrator of this whole wild shebang, I need an actor who can foster a deliciously familiar, non-4th-wall relationship with the audience and/or camera. Phoebe is the undisputed Queen of this. She’ll be STELLAR. And she and Andy will make people cry from laughing so hard.

16. CONSTABLE ANTHONY DULL — Andre Braugher

I love the idea of this Juilliard-trained classical actor sitting quietly with his crossword puzzle in the back of the polished oak Navarre library, watching a group of the Dumbest Smart People in human history talking themselves into a tizzy over false Latin and prickets and excrement and bad, mis-delivered iambic hexametric sonnets and just chuckling to himself. (Also: BB99 reunion!)

17. MERCADÉ — Randall Park

Tbh, I feel bad giving such a small part to such a phenomenal actor, but the thing about Mercadé is that he is like the BIGGEST small part in all of Shakespeare. He’s right up there with the First Servant in Lear in terms of the sheer narrative punch he packs into just a few short lines. And I think the best Mercadé is the one who has a personal relationship to the Princess. Maybe he was a personal aide to her father, the King? Maybe he helped raise her? Regardless, I think their conversation at the end of 5.2 is more than just the delivery of a sad message. It’s a communion between two grieving patriots of France. I want an actor whose warm heart will shine through that brief interchange. Randall can obviously do that, tenfold.

Aaaaaaand I think that’s it! Thanks again for the Ask, Lauren!! This was an absolute treat. xx Claire

[fictionfixations]

Genshin Impact fic thoughts? idk man

okay so

im kinda tempted to write genshin fanfiction

i mean i probably wont because theres a whole lot of terms and locations i just dont remember off the top of my head- i mean we know the basics, archons and visions ofc, etc etc

but like.. aaAAAaa

ive also gotten more into it since the 3.1 update, and i recently got cyno and ive been building him--

uhm.

so basically i got a fixation on cyno and dottore (on an unrelated note, fuckin love cyno and alhathiams [i probably misspelled his name] dynamic)

i also recently read the genshin manga (including the i think last 3 chapters, which still havent been officially translated into english so fan translators, youre the best)

ackk

i really like collei too (apparently you got her for free last update!?? NOOOO- i didnt play then SOBS.)

no but anyways

LORE SPOILERS IG? idk man i dont know a lot but its still spoilers

i dont think cyno and dottore ever actually truly met and stuff blah blah blah i mean like- maybe they did? i dont know. I mean I know Cyno and Lisa were in the Akademiya together but idk if Dottore was there or not D:

I mean.

so

Cyno's like.. possessed by some godly ancient being that i dont know who- i mean hes possessed by something when he does his burst

what if Dottore's being all evil and shit

and Cyno notices that of course, because hes the general mahamatra thing and knows kinda a lot -? He's smart basically and notices when something is off

uh.. he registers Dottore as a threat to the people of Sumeru and attacks him- or well tries to take him down (id like to think hes a little impulsive. [id imagine Alhaitham would know him enough though to know that too and would hold him back sometimes. They have a hate-love friendship lmao] when maybe like someone he cares about is threatened-- well like he cares about everyone in Sumeru, and if everyones all scare-- OH IDEA IDEA)

okay so like

he just has a feeling that somethings not right, so he returns to Sumeru City (Thats what its called right?? i mean I know Port Ormos but theres the other one where we get our Akasha when we first enter, and has the Akademiya and I think the stage that Nilou was at)

The people don't seem like they're acting right but he brushes it off as possibly being paranoid, though notes it for later if something happens

He hears a cry. (I'd imagine he has better hearing? I don't know if I wanna count the ears on his helmet thing actual ears or just that, decorative things on the helmet thing)

Immediately, he pinpoints the location of where the cry is coming from and heads there. He's quiet though. As much as he'd like to rush there, it would be better to see the situation for himself and calculate a plan then.

He sees Dottore (wait would he know about the Fatui? I mean like everyone probably does- WAIT. okay so he helped Collei back in the manga and brought him to Sumeru. I'd imagine they'd get some understanding, and while he wouldn't push for her to tell him, I'd think one day she would. Well like he knows Dottore, but I think Collei only saw his old mask- she'd recognize the hair but it's not one of the things that would stand out the most, and she would probably point out the creepy mask- so cyno would not recognize Dottore.)

Dottore is saying something undiscernible but absolutely negatively to the crying child.

Cyno gets mad. His breath hitches at the sight and immediately gets into action, but Dottore expects this. It turns out to be like a fuckin plot and the child stops crying, because Dottore was doing the hallucination thought control thingy with the Akasha terminal

I'd imagine Dottore is powerful, not just in his brain, but he can fight well considering his status.

Cyno is still standing, yet he won't get anywhere, and the longer he takes, who knows what's happening to the kid- and he realizes that it's also happening to everyone else (I'd imagine not Cyno though- he isn't wearing the Akasha I think in Aaru village and I'd imagine this takes place somewhere during his self-imposed exile)

He uses his burst, and Dottore grins. "There it is."

In the end Cyno loses, mainly because Dottore uses a cheap trick, threatening the child. Death? No, that would be too merciful. He threatens to break the poor kids mind, never to be able to have a sane thought again, forced to go insane and lose his mind. It would be an interesting experimentation regardless.

actually whats dottores vision? I'm pretty sure he has one but idk if he uses it- probably not but still ;w;;; (theres just some cruelty with defeating vision wielders without one)

Dottore commends him on his fighting, but says that his technique is lacking a little

and then

uhhhh

i mean id imagine hed want to experiment or something on cyno because he is strong n stuff but like. how would he word it?

mans has only appeared in the actual game for like ONE cutscene and then oofed to nowhere land (i mean he'll probably appear in like the next update but still LMAO-)
