[1] if u look up “grateful” or “blessed” on my twt acct you will Find things, esp references to this one mha panel of the main character thinking his life is blessed (he’s surrounded by his friends having dinner) right before they all go into war. the war part is less applicable. (i also journal in my notebook but no one will see that)

[2] been feeling homesick. looking forward to november, going to stay in houston for two weeks LOL

[3] my grandpa (dad’s dad) has been feeling lonely so we wanna say hiii. he deals w lonely-based depression and it’s hitting hard again bc i think my aunt and young cousin moved out :( kinda scared tho bc he and my grandma (dad’s mom) hate hate hate traveling so i forgot if they got their covid vaccines yet (they don’t even like the 3hr car + 2hr plane trip to lima). i’m sure they got at least a first dose, idk abt boosters, but my fam hates masking so i hope they’ll mask up for them :((

something abt stars and wishes and unintended consequences and irreversible change and being unable to escape what you have become and being forced to be a part of a fight against enemies you never want to engage with again and leaving behind the people you once fought beside and wanting nothing more than to return to what you once had and knowing you’ll never be able to regain what innocent normalcy you lost and wanting it all to just stop and to be a normal person instead of a star

Calm Before A Storm (IAC pt.4) (First/Prev/Next)

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. Panel one has the caption 'Waiting for the Conference to start'. Chibi!Shen Qingqiu is looking indifferent to the side with a fan covering the lower half of his face. Chibi!Plant Shen Yuan next to him looks down sadly with a caption pointing to his now braided hair stating 'SQQ braided it so it would be less messy.' Looking towards SQQ, Chibi!SY asks "A-Die? I still don't understand why you won't let me participate" Chibi!SQQ looks towards him with a questioning look. SY continues "I know I'm not the strongest...But Liu-Shishu says I'm a good enough fighter-"

Panel two has Chibi!SY being lightly bonked with SQQ's fan, causing him to scrunch up in surprise. SQQ looking down at him with an annoyed look says "This father thought A'Yuan knows better than to question his reasoning." Chibi!SQQ reopens his fan in front of his mouth and continues "A'Yuan is not yet ready. And this is Final."

Panel Three depicts Chibi!SY looking up with a miffed expression. He then turns away with his arms folded together, starting to walk off whilst saying "Fine. This one will go watch the Spirit Eagle screens. Alone." Chibi!SQQ slightly behind him simply responds "As you wish." The final section shows SQQ look towards where SY walked off with a sad/regretful expression, with a speech bubble of "..." End ID]

A compilation of a few notes in no particular order written by two odd scholars found by the Traveler on their journey throughout Sumeru. Some of the words have been crossed out or lost to time, making them illegible.

Forgotten Note (found in the desert inside a huge Ruin Golem)

[A page torn from someone's notebook that seems to be hastily written and forgotten.]

... I can't believe what I've just witnessed. We spent DAYS traveling out here to the desert because Zandik wanted to tinker with that huge robot for ages. Me too of course, but that's not the point. Here he was just a few moments ago, brimming with excitement at being able to pilot it. It was cute...

... And then not even a minute later, he was hunched over, clutching his stomach and mouth. I was initially concerned, but he merely waved me off and began writing at the speed of light, still holding back the urge to throw up. And that's when I realized this fool was ███-███...

... Zandik was going to give it one more go but I quickly stopped him. I wasn't about to have him getting sicker than he already was. Tried to fight me on it but he was dizzy enough to take himself out. He's currently grumbling at me in the corner, but he'll get over it...

... Silly man, he let me put his head on my lap while he rested. Good thing I packed some light snacks... but note to self: for the foreseeable future, don't let Zandik into any kind of transportation. Hopefully, he'll outgrow it one day though...

Zandik's Note (found on the edge of Sumeru near Fontaine)

[A short note containing idle thoughts - the lack of importance may have caused it to be discarded.]

... There is an area in the desert that provides a clear and close view of the neighboring nation, Fontaine. [Name] insisted on showing me it as we happened to be close by...

... I'm not particularly interested in that land, but there are some things that may be worth looking into. [Name], however, wants to get academic leave to do some research there - more truthfully, they want to try out the macarons. How typical of them...

I suppose it's not the worst idea. They are an excellent partner, plus the extra ███ would be useful for my ███ research, and I'd make sure those people would never know...

... Regardless, there's no rush. Perhaps one day we can go...

[Name]'s Observation Log - Page 34-35 (found in the rainforest inside a tree hollow)

[A page torn from an observation log wedged deep inside a tree, preserving a little bit of its contents - it seems the writer wanted to hide it.]

... Day 1 of my first expedition with Zandik. Of course, every course comes with a dreaded group project but I am happy to be paired with him. Zandik, however, not so much. He's barely spoken to me the whole time. Well, he barely speaks to anyone in general, guess that's part of the reason other students refer to him as ███ ███. But I literally live with him, don't I deserve some special privilege?...

... Day 2 of my first expedition with Zandik. I looked a bit at his notes last night so I could start drafting the research report, but then he snatched them away when he noticed. He's extra grumpy at me now. I wonder what kind of things he writes about...

... Day 3 of my first expedition with Zandik. We've gotten a lot of stuff done but he seems far more interested in ███ than looking at plants. There's this one ruin in the distance he keeps eyeing. I bet if I wasn't here, he'd be there. If I present him with a ███ ███ of each type, would he finally talk to me? Hmm, that'd be hard to hide from the sages though...

... Day 4 of my first expedition with Zandik. I lied and said there was a better spot to get samples and brought him to that ruin. Long story short and after a lot of annoyed Zandik later, we made it in. When the killing machines awakened, it seemed he had a bright idea and had begun instructing me to hit them in a very precise way. Well, he certainly knows how to use someone efficiently... After all of that, all of a sudden he had found his voice and began shooting off orders to fetch this tool or that textbook and so on. Never got a thank you but he compensated with some loud, excited mumbles...

... Day 5 of my first expedition with Zandik. Thanks to Zandik actually doing his share of the work, we finished the fieldwork quickly. I showed him what I had so far and he seemed pleasantly surprised, although his expression was still flat. As we worked, he wasn't as talkative as he was yesterday, but the silence wasn't awkward like before. Well, as long as I get paired with Zandik, I think I'll survive this semester, and it'll be a bonus if he warms up to me. Speaking of warming up to me, Zandik wants to come back to the ruin we went to yesterday - with me too!!!!! It'll be our little secret that no one will find out. I think I got on his good side a bit, he looks cute when he's smiling. His teeth are even sharper up close.....

Nearly Torn Note (found inside an ancient book in the House of Daena)

[A small paper that has nearly been ripped in half, but some of the words are still cohesive.]

... I ███ them. Why are they here? I told them I did not need help, nor was I interested in assisting them. But they're here anyway. Of course they are. When are they not? Is there ever a moment when they're not constantly chirping in my ear? No, of course not. I'm ███ to live with them after all...

... With their ███ smell wafting through the dorm after a shower, or the scent of their cooking that they specially make ███ ███...

... Their stupid voice is prattling away right now, and I ███ how I do ███ find it irritating. My mind seems to automatically ███ ███ anything their ███ mouth says...

... I found their touch repulsive, but now I ███ for them to...

... There is something wrong with ███...

[At the bottom lays a tiny doodle of someone, presumably the person who occupied Zandik's mind, and has been intensely scratched off.]

Collaborative Note (found in an old camp near the woods)

[An abandoned note that appears to be written by two people. The top half is messily written and smudged thanks to the large amount of ink spills and blots. The second half is neater but the writer seems to have given up.]

... My ███ is a ███. Thanks to ███ help, we were able to acquire numerous ███ to help with the ███ ███. Were it not for them, there could have been a great ███ in my ███...

--------------------------

...Alright, that's it. Zandik is banned from writing notes now. I'm drawing the line. I bought five pens with us, and he has broken four of them so far. It's barely been a few hours! I still don't know how he does it- okay well now he's tapping me impatiently to write down his thoughts. Best get on it before he breaks this one and starts using ███ as ink...

...After a series of ███ were conducted, it has been concluded that it may be ███ for a ███ ███ to be ███-███. Wait... all the ink is on my hand now! And it smudged more!! Ugh!!!...

... I'm going to start forcing him to wear gloves... he's getting his inked hands all over me... at least we can shower ███!...

Paimon and the Traveler reviewed the notes they found contemplatingly - it was definitely not all of them, considering how hidden many of them were - but they found themselves oddly intrigued by the multitude of notes left by these two characters. Paimon was more interested in the love story part.

"You know, Paimon's not too sure... she's getting some mixed vibes from Zandik here... he seems kind of a big meanie to [Name] to be honest!" The Traveler watched in amusement as Paimon got grumpy on your behalf.

"... But he does seem to lighten up sometimes. Maybe he's not as bad as we think. Guess we can't piece together their relationships just from some notes, eh?"

"Well, Paimon thinks they seemed like a cute couple, well, minus for some things. Mostly, um... Zandik's oddness which you can't really excuse but I guess it's okay because they're long dead! Still, [Name] sure had strange taste in men..."

Until my eyelids are dropping and muscles aching

sfw - Price x reader - extremely short fic.

Summary: Your John is finally back from a terrible mission and now it's time to soothe him

Fingers sweating, heart racing against your rib cage, eyes furiously darting back and forth from the phone screen to the door. Waiting for a notification to pop, or for the door to open.

Your breaths are labored, your husband, John Price, should have been back two days ago. Exactly 48 hours, 43 minutes and 7.. 8.. 9- seconds ago.

Last time you heard from him were weeks ago, his message reassuring you, his wonderful partner.

I'll be back before you know it I love you, stay safe

That's how you replied and you're slowly starting to regret it. Maybe you should've said more. Maybe you should've been aggressive and maybe you should've pushed your worry against him to the point of suffocation.. but you replied the way you did because he always came back. Always on time. Not even one second late and if he was gonna be late, he'd tell you over text.

It's fucking radio silent and you're holding yourself back from going absolutely nuts. If he got himself kille-

The door swings open, it's him. Sweating, still in gear, the smell of blood on him. He's back. Your husband is back and your legs move.

Despite his filthy look and smell, you hug him. No words exchanged. He already knew what was going in your pretty head and you already knew what he was going to say, silence filled the living room.

Finally, you help him undress, you throw his clothes in the washing machine, you fill his bath and get inside with him.

After he finishes whispering sweet nothings in your ear and you finish washing the soap away, he hugs you and you hug him tighter.

In bed worry goes to sleep and a comfort sensation fills your hearts. Yeah, he's back, you're there with him. Limbs intertwined. Eyelids dropping and muscles aching.

Sleep overtakes both of you and everything is back to being fine.
