Synopsis: Jing Yuan is a bird magnet. As harmless as it sounds, it seems to lead to misunderstandings.

CW: Nothing

HC: Reader works under Yukong. Reader is gender-neutral.

Characters: Jing Yuan, Yukong, Fu Xuan, Mentions of Tingyun and Yanqing

Note: Genshin to Honkai pipeline is real omg. Honestly I am not that interested in Honkai Star Rail or any of the Honkai games but I do play it and let me tell you I love this man. The characters in this game do not miss. Already making drafts for a Sampo fic. My one goal is to max them out. Also anyone interested in Aeons fanfic? Just asking. Anyway, please make sure to like, comment or reblog. Interactions with the post lets it reach a wider audience. Requests are also open! Enjoy.

Jing Yuan was used to the attention given to him, it wasn’t shocking to him. An individual of his status always would draw attention amongst the crowds. However, most people tend to divert their eyes or at least make an effort to pretend they weren’t staring, especially when they weren’t supposed to. It was considered a decent thing to do. However you on the other hand clearly did not understand this concept.

The first time he had caught your eyes, he waited for you to shyly look away like most people did, however to his surprise you kept a stern gaze towards him, refusing to move. It did phase him a bit, how strange that you had no shame to look away knowing that you had been caught. He chuckled to himself, that time he gave you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you felt it was more awkward to look away.

However, the staring continued. You stared at him whenever you had the chance. He could feel your gaze burning from the back of his head. How were you so confident? Does he not scare you? Do you not understand authority? Maybe you just didn’t have the shame to hide the fact that you adored looking at him. He tried not to crack a smile every time he did catch you staring. He didn’t want others to know why he was laughing at himself.

It wasn’t a surprise to him, having people fall for him. Tingyun was already making sales from his looks, so it was clear that many people were head over heels for him. Maybe you were just like them, an admirer who was terrible at keeping a secret. He didn’t mind, he was already used to the attention.

—

“You seem to be distracted these days. Is your age finally catching up to you?” Fu Xuan jabbed. Jing Yuan let out a chuckle “ I don’t know what you mean.” He answered, unphased. Documents were piling up and Yanqing still didn’t have a decent partner to train with, he had too many unnecessary things piling up on his head. Fu Xuan was clearly here to mess with him for letting things go on for this long.

“Don’t try to hide, you have been laughing to yourself or cracking smiles out of the blue! Have you finally lost it?” She asked once more. Honestly not what he had expected her to say. He thought she was here to clown him for not finishing his work on time, he didn’t realise he had got caught. She continued. “If so, I’m willing to take your place any day for your ‘early’ retirement.”

Jing Yuan rolled his eyes, looking back at the screen in front of him. “If you don’t have anything better to do you’re free to leave. My mental state is perfectly fine.” Fu Xuan let out a smirk. “It won’t be for long.” 

Jing Yuan turned to her, he didn’t want to give her attention especially when he was this busy, but Fu Xuan was not going to stop fishing for answers.  Raising an eyebrow he decided to take the bait.“And what makes you say that?” Fu Xuan let out an almost sinister laugh. Jing Yuan could only frown, he didn’t like the sound of that. 

“I recently foresaw a future of yours.” The room felt cold in an instant. Jing Yuan was now fully focused on Fu Xuan, who continued to smirk victoriously. It didn’t seem to be serious but it didn’t seem to be a good thing either. “What did you see?” He asked nervously, he tried his best to hide it, he didn’t need to give Fu Xuan any more openings.

Fu Xuan pretended to think, withholding the information rather than stating it at once. Jing Yuan sighed, of course, Fu Xuan would want to have the high ground. “I’ll repeat, what did you see?” He stated once more, a more serious tone plaguing his words.

Fu Xuan scoffed. “You’re no fun.”

“If it involves me then it involves Xianzhou Luofu and its people. I would rather not be left in the dark about this.” Fu Xuan shrugged. “It isn’t something serious. If it was, I would have told you about it instantly. You know I am not one to take my time.”

“Then why hide it from me?” “Because it’s funny.” Jing Yuan sighed. “Just tell me.”

“Don’t feel like it.” And with that Fu Xuan's hologram disappeared. Jing Yuan huffed, how annoying. It seemed that people around him were forgetting what respect meant.

—

Yukong never made physical trips to meet with Jing Yuan regarding any issues on the Xianzhou Luofu. It was a big ship, and it was a waste of time to constantly travel back and forth when they could communicate via holograms.

However it was always safe to bring confidential documents face to face, a third party might cause leaks. To his surprise, you tagged alongside her during one of their rare trips. However, for once, you didn’t look up to look at him. He tried his best to focus on what Yukong kept saying but his eyes kept wandering back to you. Why were you not looking up? Was it because this was the first time you had seen him face to face? However he didn’t like this, he wished you would just look up like usual.

“Tingyuan couldn’t make it?” He asked, trying to focus the shift on you. You jolted up, now nervously looking at Yukong who also was caught off guard. Yukong looked back at you, before turning back to Jing Yuan trying to seem unphased. “Yeah, she was assigned a task alongside the trailblazers. You had assigned her to them.” She asked.

“Hmm, I did? “ Jing Yuan asked in a playful tone. You still didn’t turn to look at him, now just looking down at the floor to not draw any more attention. He couldn’t hold a smile on his face anymore, he was getting annoyed. Why today of all days you decide not to look at him? 

He wanted to see your face properly, not in his hologram form. As advanced as things were in Xianzhou Luofu, when he is in his hologram form he can’t see everyone clearly. It was like being stuck behind a screen. Now that he was finally face-to-face with his ‘staring partner’ he wanted to see what you looked like.

“Well, since things in the Xianzhou Luofu are not settled yet, I would prefer if you could hand me documents face to face from now.” Yukong blinked, before realising what he had stated. “But sir, that would take some time, and I can’t always make trips here when I need to take care of my team.” Jing Yuan tilted his head, pretending to be oblivious to his schemes. “You can just ask Tingyuan, or your companion right next to you. If you trust them to accompany you then I’m certain they can help you bring me these documents. Am I wrong?”

His statement finally made you look up. He believed he was ready to face your gaze, but he was being too cocky it seemed. When he had locked eyes with you he almost looked away with how sudden it was. Your gaze was sharp and strong, just as the times you had looked at him before. You had a poker face, attentive to your work since Jing Yuan had personally entrusted you to do Yukong’s work. It seemed the hologram way of communicating had dulled down the intensity of your gaze full of determination. Jing Yuan didn’t expect to get such a whiplash.

He held his ground, he didn’t need any reason to feel shy now. Fu Xuan’s words started to replay in his head, he wasn’t sure why. You couldn’t be the reason for his downfall, could you? There was no way. 

Yukong sighed, interrupting the spiral Jing Yuan had going inside his mind. “Of course. We won’t disappoint you. “ She answered. “I’m glad to hear that.” Jing Yuan smiled, his gaze never leaving you as you did the same. 

—

It wasn’t surprising that you made most of the trips. He found out that you were new to the job, at least to Yukong’s sector. Since Tingyuan was busy with the trailblazers and Yukong had her duties to attend to, you ended up being the special courier for any confidential documents. Most of the documents were digitised so your trips weren’t common, but Jing Yuan made it his mission to make sure you somehow ended up in his office.

Was this corruption from the higher-ups? Probably, if anyone knew what he was doing they would think he was bullying you but he didn’t mean any harm. He just likes the mini-staring matches you both have. Not many people look at him with such confidence. 

It also didn’t seem to be an issue as it seemed that you liked the job. No matter how many times you were told to bring in documents, you always followed through without complaining. Tingyuan tended to ask for bargains while Yukong would straight up avoid making rounds. You on the other hand would be ready to make a delivery in an instant. It was probably due to the fact you were still new to the job, but he liked to pretend it was because you wanted to see him often.

He smiled to himself thinking about it. He didn’t like how much of a narcissist he was. He knew people loved him but having his delusions of someone liking him more than just the ruler of the Xianzhou Luofu must be his breaking point. Fu Xuan was on to something, you must be his downfall.

—

It was like any other day, you made the delivery and you were going to head back to your station. However, Jing Yuan was getting tired of this. It was any day now that the trailblazers would be done with the Stellaron attacks and he would finally have to step in to fix what was left. This means everything would return to normal and your trips wouldn’t be necessary anymore. All these trips didn’t make you both any closer either, you were keeping a distance between the two of you.

He also noticed how you reduced staring, it seems you had caught on the fact that he knew you were staring. He honestly was surprised you didn’t realise it sooner, it wasn’t like you were hiding it. But now whenever he would catch your eyes you would jolt up as if he caught you doing something horrible. If it was in the past he wouldn’t have minded, but now whenever you looked away he felt frustrated.

As the day was going to end as it usually did, Jing Yuan finally snapped. He needed to change this routine you both had created. “May I ask you a question?” He asked. He caught you so off guard you dropped the documents on the ground. Scattering them all over the floor. In an instant you dropped down, to collect the papers off the ground. He followed suit, trying to help.

“Oh, you don’t need to do that sir!” You try not to stutter. You didn’t expect him to ask you anything. You guys never spoke anymore than anything related to work, so the sudden question caught you off guard. “ Don’t mind me, I just wanted to ask a question. I didn’t think it was that shocking.” He chuckled.

You nervously laugh, continuing to gather all the materials before he could get any more. To your horror, he had already collected most of it. However, the piles of paper were now in a mess, completely unorganised from how it was originally arranged.

“You can sit with me and chat while we organise these.” He stood up smiling, mockingly shaking the documents towards you while you tried not to get embarrassed. “My apologies sir.” You mumble, standing up with the little amount you were able to get. “I’ll forgive you if you answer my questions.” The way he spoke was so calm. He was a ruler for a reason, his voice was loud in battle and comforting to his citizens. You instantly felt at ease when he didn’t seem to mind.

“I’ll take you up on that offer, sir.”

—

When he said questions, he meant a lot of questions. He asked why you chose the job, what you liked, your interests, and your hobbies. He was ticking off everything at this point. You of course answered. The way he articulated the questions and the calm sound of his voice seemed to have entranced you. You were certain if he was a lawyer he would have gotten the answers right out of you in an instant. It was no wonder he was in such a high position.

“You seem to stare a lot don’t you?” A question that you didn’t expect. He smiled, eyes closed ready for an answer. Did he catch you off guard? He hoped so, he wanted to tease you a bit, making you realise that your silly little crush on him was already discovered. Maybe it was sudden but with how truthfully you were answering his questions he didn’t expect you to lie your way out of this.

You could feel the rush of blood on your face. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to stare! It’s just…” you cut yourself off. He patiently waited for your answer. What could it be? Did you like his face? Many people did, it was the reason Tingyuan was making a fortune for so many years. Or perhaps you would be bolder and say you liked his body? His clothes and armour enhanced its appeal. Or maybe his hair? It reminded of a lion’s mane to most and Yanqing would always mention how elegant it looked, even after he had spared the entire day. He wasn’t even sure how it stayed in such luscious conditions.

He tried not to tap the table, eager for your answer. He could hear his heartbeat increase its speed, he didn’t realise how nervous he was. What was it about him that you just couldn’t help but look? He needed to know now.

“ The bird.” It was almost a whisper when you spoke. He wasn’t even sure he heard you properly. “The bird?” He repeated, a bit dumbfounded. You nodded, guilt leaving your body but suddenly feeling sheepish. You can’t believe you were going to admit this.

“ You always have a bird in your hair. It’s so unphased I always wondered whether it was tamed.” You continue to say. You watched Jing Yuan stare at you, unable to speak. You took this as a sign to continue. “Well you see, I love looking at birds. Especially since in Xianzhou Luofu, they are quite rare. But you have one always on your shoulder! So when I first saw it I was so shocked. If you don’t mind me asking, could you tell me what type it is? Is it a Zebra finch? A Waxbill? The red beak makes it a bit prominent but I couldn’t see its feather pattern so I couldn’t tell what type it was.”

As you continued to go on and on about the bird, Jing Yuan was trying his best not to show any signs of embarrassment. He couldn’t believe this. He had thought this entire time you had looked at him due to admiration. Honestly, it was his fault for making up delusions on his own but he didn’t expect this. You were staring at the birds that usually landed on his shoulder and hid around his hair. He was so used to it he completely forgot they even stuck next to him while he worked.

A sudden notification came to your phone which made you stop your little bird talk. You read it and immediately stood up an instance. “Oh no! The time!” You almost shout, your worried gaze not looking away from the phone. You look at Jing Yuan sadly, and he could feel his heart was close to bursting. Not only from his embarrassment but also how unhappy you looked knowing that you would have to depart from him.

“I’m so sorry I couldn’t organise all the documents in time. I’ll make it up to you next time sir!” You begin to gather your things and head out. As you near the door you turn back to him shouting. “I apologise if this is inappropriate, but I hope to talk to you again!” You say. You take a bow before turning back and running out the door.

All Jing Yuan could do was stare as you left. Suddenly he could feel all the emotions he had held back to save face flowing out. He slumped on the desk, hands on his face trying to cover his face which was completely red. He could not believe this had happened to him. 

He heard a little chirp near his ear. He looked to the side, to see his little bird friend peeping at him in glee. “You did this to me.” He grumbled, glaring at the bird who continued to chirp, almost as if it was laughing at him. Sighing, he slumped back on his chair, trying not to think about what just had happened.

He couldn’t help it though. It made sense now, you probably were curious about the bird, trying to figure out what kind it was. He was the one overthinking it, making up stories in his head where you profess your love to him. No wonder Fu Xuan said what she did. She knew this was going to happen.

He sighed, picking up his little friend off his shoulder onto his hand. After making a mental note on finding a way to get back at Fu Xuan, he began to think about you again. He was already too deep into this, he was going to make you like him back. He stroked the bird’s head as it peeped in delight. He looked down at it as it playfully nipped at his finger.

Another idea popped into his head. The last words you said played in his head again as he stared at the bird who danced around in the palm of his hands. He felt a smile creep on his face.

“Well, at least I can figure out what we are going to be talking about next time we meet.” He chuckled to himself, humming a tune alongside the bird. He was already too deep into this, and he was not going to let you go that easily. 

He was going to make you look at him the same way he looked at you, one way or another. Who would have thought a love of birds would lead to this?

Good luck!

Greetings! Can I share my woes with you, fellow stranger? I... honestly cannot believe that a game like genshin could possibly exist. I'm almost done with the Fountain AQ and lemme just say that... This dumbfuck journey through the nations made me fear for my own sanity. There is almost NEVER any logical progression between the stages of the quests and literally only 2,5 people in the whole fandom ever talk about this! Half the time you cannot tell why the characters are doing what they are doing and even when you can see the logic behind their actions the actions themselves are usually stupid af. And then there are world quests that are written as if they exist in some entirely different worlds! Like how the Meropide from the AQ and from the Unfinished Comedy are two completely different prisons, because NO WAY are they run by the same Duke guy. So, I've been very troubled by this. Have I lost my last braincells and this is why I can't comprehend the very good writing of the very good hoyo? Is everyone else just playing a different genshin that ACTUALLY makes sense?? Am I insane or is it the world around me that has gone mad???

Salutations, kind stranger, please take a seat!

To risk sounding very unkind, my general impression behind a lot of the discussion surrounding Genshin's story and character writing boils roughly down to this post;

Because I do get the general sense that what sticks with most people are the big dramatic moments and the general SHAPE of what you expect this all to mean or look like, not what it actually is or says. Which is FINE, praise fanon because god knows this game needs it, but my eye will start aggressively twitching when I see people praising Scaramouche's deep emotionally charged writing (HYV avoided writing as much of his story as possible though) or how meaningful a character Neuvillette is (confusing role in the narrative at best, actively detrimental to the world-building at worst).

And maybe if you're willing to accept lore dumps, explanations that character arcs happened off-screen, character bios, flashback sequences, telling not showing and animated trailers as substitutes for actual writing... then maybe it does seem like a lot is accomplished, even if you do have to bridge the gap with fanon. Like, there's so much lore! And they wrote so many words! It must be smart!!

I did chat to a colleague at work (anime fan; writing a book) who played Genshin and dropped it very early on. I asked "so what did you think of the writing" and without missing a beat he said "embarrassingly bad". So I'm going to say that most of the people that recognise it just dropped it immediately and the majority of the remainders are people that are willing to accept this. And suckers like us who sit open mouthed watching the trainwreck unfold.

Or, there's a secret version of this game I failed to download twice, and you clearly didn't get it, in which case I think we need to find the correct person to complain to about it.

Though speaking of the Fortress of Meropide, I was really amused when 'this is a DARK PRISON' collided with 'this is a GREAT prison and Wrio's so cool' in Wriothesely's quest, where the writers struggled with giving him a dramatic storyline tied to his own location so much they made him accidentally endorse a torture cult without realising how much that clashed with Wrio's previous characterisation of 'I know everything in the Fortress, including that you three are Fatui agents, to the point that I can quiz the Traveller on weird conspiracy theories about this place'.

Or like, "oh I'm really observant, I did notice this weird and suspicious/worrying thing, I just haven't done anything about it" x2 because he can't look ignorant, he's gotta know what's up, but like, think about that a second more and that's worse. Wrio. That's worse, you have to investigate those things. There is a torture cult in the basement and the entire prison almost flooded with people dissolving water, Wrio, we could have avoided these problems!

My current conspiracy theory is this place sucks like the AQ implies, but everyone just lies to Wrio and pretends everything is great and he's doing such a good job running the joint and he just believes them. The bubble almost pops in his character quest, but not quite.

Although, I hate the Fortress in it's entirety and all, but the thing that's sticking with me despite everything that Fontaine did is still.... "these people used to be oceanids but just forgot". Who forgot? Hoyoverse, apparently. Furina's quest sure didn't engage with 90% of the writing surrounding both that and her trial, huh. What a stupid meaningless twist that meant nothing and had no impact whatsoever. Why even do it.

this game is punishment for something and i'm not sure what

[menstits]

this is a 100% slash gen question but how do you stay motivated to keep playing genshin after this long? i first got it back when it was still pretty new, around the second ever banner, and played it for a good year but the more things they kept adding the more overwhelmed it started to make me. i do miss it tho, so i wonder how you manage to still play it so consistantly

In all honesty for most of my time playing genshin i've been obsessed with a handful of early game characters (kaeya and his ugly brother and childe mostly, and they're still my faves) and largely didn't give a shit about everyone else, so up until like halfway through sumeru i was playing like. Waiting for kaeya/abyss and khaenri'ah related lores to drop mostly. Like in all honesty especially during inazuma it was dire i didn't give a shit about 90% of the cast and the environment was unpleasant to explore too 🧍‍♂️ but after getting past the samsara part of the sumeru archon quest i started getting genuinely more invested in the storyline. When i got to fontaine i expected it to be a bit of a filler region honestly but the writing quality has been steadily increasing after inazuma imo and the conflicts have become more engaging too... Like i think the main issue for me in inazuma was that they kept trying to get me to give a shit about some npc whereas several of the playable characters felt underutilized and their presence kinda pointless. From sumeru onwards they've started writing the playable cast as more fleshed out and interconnected to one another which is something that i was really missing from early game, and this is even more apparent in fontaine's writing too where everyone has some kind of beef going on with everyone else (it was really fun imo how everyone in mondstadt knows each other because it's a small town and i wasn't really hoping to see that degree of characters being all up in each other's business again in later regions so fontaine was a nice surprise in that regard).

As for your question honestly i think that. In order for genshin to be enjoyable at some point you have to allow yourself to not give a shit about whatever doesn't compel you and instead try to focus on what you do like, for example i kinda hate doing spiral abyss so I don't really touch it unless I'm pressed for primos and instead run around and explore a lot. For story quests i prioritize ones for characters I'm already invested in and leave others for whenever I don't have anything better to do. I'm an insane completionist about this game but it's genuinely fine to focus on the parts you personally find more engaging. I guess sumeru was annoying because long as fuck world quests gate the exploration of certain areas, but fontaine is MUCH better in that regard and the world quests feel much more manageable.

Also tbh i think the increasing relevance that khaenri'ah/abyss and celestia-related stuff has both in the world quests and in the main story along with more harbingers making on screen appearances also contributed to keeping my interest active because that's what I'm mostly invested in other than kaeya-centric stuff 👍

[sugar-omi]

you sharing these Genshin fics is making me want to play the game again. The story hasn't been much fun for me. What do you think of the plot so far?

okay I'm ngl I've been skipping thru it but I have read some of it n the cut scenes help rmbr wtf is happening LMAO

honestly I just do the quests to progress n get primogems but I do think some of it and some of the side/world quests are cool

as for the main quest/plot tho... I think it's good. not sure when you stopped playing but I think sumeru really brought the game back.

the overtaking the government and al haithem starting a fucking coupe was crazyyyy

and Fontaine is actually really really good. ngl I think furina is irritating bc. I hate ppl like that (takes nothing serious, cant admit when theyre wrong, self obsorbed honestly. but she has some flaws n insecurities which i think is interesting n stuff. idk, i wont ramble but if you wanna hear that i will LOL) but she's so cute and so fucking funny

and we went to jail this last time n neuvillette n wriothesley were the captains of this show omfg its beautiful

I think it's really cool. ngl sumeru is annoying to me bc of the desert n shit, there's just so much AND THEYRE STINGY W THE FUCKING CHESTS

they do make up for that in Fontaine but it's some bullshit, the best way to get primos is to do quests n honestly idea how they expect us to max the tree when you literally get a common chest n thus 1 dendro sigil for defeating a whole camp????

oh but the mechanisms there are so good n so fun. I also liked the events like that fungus event they had

anyway conclusion is, if you havent played in a long time like before or in the early days of sumeru, the last bit of sumeru brings it back bc that shit w scaramouche/wanderer?? cool shit

and Fontaine tears sumeru out the water period. so definitely come back for Fontaine, there's a magic show turned murder mystery, and a traveler goes to jail but it's actually a missing persons investigation

just realized there's a Lotta murder mystery stuff going on in fontaine....

ALSO IF THAT DOESNT CONVINCE YOU THEN COME BACK TO SEE THE KNAVE, SHES SO AWOOGA OMFG

[someuncreativity]

I’ve been seeing that one Twitter color wheel art challenge everywhere and I wanted to throw my hat in the ring, so here’s my version that I finished yesterday!

I’m sure it’s obvious who’s who, but just in case, going clockwise, the characters are Betty Boop, Garfield, Pikachu from Pokémon, Link from The Legend of Zelda, famous vocaloid Hatsune Miku, Candace from Genshin Impact, Vincent/Purple Guy from the early Five Nights at Freddy’s fandom, and Kirby who I guess is from Kirby.

Sidenote, the early days of the FNaF fandom were both the best and worst times and I miss them. Honestly, part of me wishes it ended at the fourth game, but oh well. The series is still popping off.

Oh, also here’s a video of me rambling about the drawing process for nine minutes. It is unscripted, so enjoy that if you want.

Hello Invi!

I am a fan of your works and I do enjoy reading them and keep up, I actually watch your streams whenever I can! I believe I come and stay all stream at least half time I am a medic student and you understand how busy it can be!

I am big supporter and Hopefully when I graduate next year I will Be able to tend your whole stream and can interact in chat I personally Avoid creating any accounts now so I focus on my studies, reading your work’s really makes me happy And I do not regret spending my free time reading your works! ( I am a ghost and I apologize for that :( I don’t want to create any more distractions for sake of my study)

You consider who have triggers and traumatized individuals as you have experienced, I do in fact had such but glad I left it at first signs so I avoided early before any big damage and family helped me thankfully! But still there fear lingering but I am overcoming it ^^~

Also I noticed in your latest works they became more bold and honestly exciting! ( I personally enjoy free writings of yours ( true only few 2-4 but still good ones ) my favorite is pheonix simple yet powerful )

I do have suggestion based on last fics and I hope it spark something for you haha~

I will sent in another ask since I don’t want to make it longer and this is a heart ask!

___

I understand you don’t accept requests and I personally would love to commission you in future, hopefully when I graduate I hope by the time you are still into Obey me franchise haha~

and…I wish in future streams consider play hogwarts legacy? I want to watch you play it I didn’t watch anyone playing it because I hoped you play it hehe~

Thank you for reading my ask and wish my words made your day and the best for you!

Love,

Marie

I've read both of your submissions here, and holy, these are the kinds of comments and words that keeps me writing. I do take suggestions and requests btw~ but I operate on a "if it sparks a story, it sparks, but also don't get disappointed if I never get to it" basis since when I do write... it's alot. I often start thinking of writing a week leading up to those really long ones. I start to visualize what I want to write and just gotta set time from the games I play and friends to devote to this hobby of mine. It means alot that my original writings are also being read and are giving people more than just my one-shots and drabbles. Phoenix was written out of a spot in my heart from pain from everything I've overcome, so hearing someone likes that one personally just sends me to a whole other level.

My free writes, the small prose/poems that I do toss out there, are kind of a placement for producing something so I don't get rusty in my writing, and also to break from what I normally do. I am also happy you catch my streams, as chaotic my timing can be in them. I spend alot of time in a friend's discord server, and am slowly getting mine more active.

I try to consider people who have been through alot in my stories. There are almost too many triggering stories with not enough warnings posted, or just one side of some of the characters. Alot being portrayed as this dominant and "master" element. (I love my fellow writers who write beautifully btw!) But sometimes when you read the same personality over and over. It gets boring, and you're like.. "okay.. I have an ability to create, what can I do for people who may not like this stuff?" You create the missing content.

I love my Obey Me's Angel. Kindness so up there I can't help loving that one. I have two commissioned pieces of that angel I absolutely adore. (one of a very pointed self-insert, and sheep version) Just Simeon~

But when it comes to like Genshin... (I'm pretty focused on the main one I love. I just love our Geo Archon so much!!! Really wish I can get more stuff drawn with him.) I love the way he's written by quite a few, but there is almost a major missing element of consent. I've read so many times where he's gone into these feral frenzies and is intense rough to the point it has triggered me on some writings.

So I try my best to write him with love, and remember he would be the gentelman of many dreams. He'd treat his beloved with the upmost respect, (I've also got something in the works of a longer based story soon. I think alot of people will enjoy it.) This is someone who gave up his gnosis for his land. He's entirely selfless and it hurts my heart when people take that part of him away.

I'm actually considering what you sent me btw! It sounds like a fun write. Thank you so much for sending me your thoughts and trusting me with an idea.

To everyone who has sent me ideas. I do get them. I've just been very lethargic lately in terms of creating, stuck between needing to stream, and also stuck with needing to make money. x.x

I write when I feel the want to do so. I still try hard not to want to do commissions since writing is my most freeing hobby I possess and turning it into a job would hurt me.

Thank you alot!

Invi

Beidou has the responsibility of a whole ship and it’s crew on her shoulders, so mornings with her are the time where she can relax before being faced with the crushing reality of her responsibilities.

Mornings with her are early, and warm she has to get up early and get to work so she has little time to stay in bed with you.

Though what time she does have she uses wisely.

Cuddling with you, simply goofing around before getting up and having to be semi serious, or eating breakfast with you.

She never wants to but she always has to get up and face her reality of being a captain. She loves it, don’t get me wrong, but some days she just wants to spend all day with you.

Before she gets up and leave for the day, she always gives you a kiss (wether it be on your temple, cheek, or lips) and whispers an “I’ll be back tonight love” then places another kiss on your neck before leaving.

— Albedo —

Mornings with albedo are the one time where his mind is fully at rest. He isn’t thinking of his next experiment, his current one, etc. he only thinks of this moment with you.

Mornings with albedo are cold, and soft. Cold because that’s the natural temperature of your shared home (per albedos request), and soft because that’s the only way albedo will be with you in the mornings.

He always wakes up cuddling with you. There truly is no other way to him. There is just something about waking up in each others arms that makes him melt.

He will be completely at your command if you start playing with his hair. He just melts even more and becomes absolute putty in your arms. That is the one way to make him stay in bed with you for longer.

While the house may be cold, but the bed is an absolute furnace in comparison. Albedo may like the cold more, but his body heat is naturally warmer. So he heats up the whole bed single-handedly

When he actually has to get up he takes your hands in his and kisses your knuckles, and finger tips. Says a long “I love you and I’ll be back” in way more words than that, before leaving.

— Diluc —

Diluc is always gentle with you. No doubt about that, but there something in just waking up, and sleeping in the same bed as your partner that is so valuable, and yet... he feels the most safe when he is sleeping in the same bed as you. So safe in fact that he can’t sleep without you.

Mornings with Diluc are soft, warm, and needy in a way. It’s when he is the most clingy with you. He can’t let you go, and with the vice grip that he has it’s hard get up.

He holds you softly, but his hold suddenly tightens once you try to get up. He doesn’t want you to leave. And he’s always holding onto you. No matter what. If he isn’t he wakes up and looks around the bed for you, and if you aren’t there he gets up and looks for you around the house.

Diluc is naturally warm. Everyone’s said it, and it’s true. The whole house could practically be heated by him if you tried hard enough honestly. That’s why some nights you aren’t covered by the blankets. Which means Diluc isn’t either, he wants to feel your legs intertwined and also feel as much if your own body heat as he can. As if his own isn’t enough. Which also means that in the winter you’re typically very cold in the mornings.

Diluc dreads when he has to get up. He hates to see your slightly sorrow face as he gets up to start the day. He’d much rather get ready with you. So he does. He doesn’t get up until you do. And the maids at the house know that. And they dare not tell him to get up after you started being around.

Always wakes you up with kisses. Kisses and rubbing circles on your skin with his thumb. If your facing him then he traces circles on your cheek, or back. Or else it’s typically on your waist.

Always eats breakfast with you. There isn’t a morning that he hasn’t after you moved in. If he had to miss a breakfast, he makes it up to you in some way, typically by a fancy dinner or brunch. Or if he’s on a trip, and that’s why he missed that day(s) breakfast, he typically brings you something.

— kaeya —

Kaeya is always analyzing people around him, watching their body language, listening deeply to their words, trying to understand them. But he assumes he already understands you enough. So he is typically softer with you in the mornings, he absolutely melts with you in his arms. His flirty, and analytical facade gone, and replaced with a much more softer, and warm one.

Mornings with kaeya, are cold, slow, and soft. Kaeya (much like his vision) is cold, though he likes the warmer temperatures. So the house is warm, but the sheets are colder (which in my opinion is perfect).

He’s much softer with you and hold you close to his chest. He likes holding you in his arms while sleeping, and much like his brother will search for you if your not in his arms, or the bed.

Kisses anywhere you’ll let him in attempts to wake you. Hell also whisper in your ear sweet nothings as you slowly awaken.

His hair is more messy and all over the place in the mornings, so he’ll frequently ask you to brush it for him. Or he’ll wear his hair in a braid you made last night.

He’s very slow to rise and frequently will wake up after you. He’ll just stare at you with love and adoration in his eyes, he sometimes thinks about how he wants to spend the rest of his life with you in these small moments.

He says goodbye for the day buy pulling you into his lap for a hug, and kissing the top of your head. He’ll typically say an ‘I love you’ or a ‘I’ll be back tonight, ok?’ Before leaving.

[hamsterboos]

here’s a fact. hating someone is exhausting.

Again, another one I speed wrote between finishing up homework and playing genshin lmao I really need to work on that but oh well. Seeing the prompt immediately reminded me of The Hating Game and this is kind of based on that, so do with that information what you will :D Title is also a quote from the book!

Word Count: 1495 Read on AO3 Rowaelin Month Masterlist

Day 18 of Rowaelin Month Prompt: You're my work rival and we're stuck in an elevator

~~~~~~

It was a race, and they were tied for first place.

Then again, it’s not like there were any other competitors except for the two of them.

Aelin glanced at the clock and silently cursed, realizing that there wasn't much time left until the working day was done, and she desperately needed to finish this data analysis report for her boss to be able to look over the first thing Monday morning. The only caveat to this was that Rowan Whitethorn was also there until the last possible minute finishing his analysis report on a different department’s data collection.

If he wasn’t sitting directly across from her and constantly in her direct line of sight, it wouldn’t have been such a problem, but when she looked up to see his annoyingly handsome face with his gorgeous eyes and infuriatingly beautiful tattoo creeping out of his shirt’s collar, Aelin was just pissed off that he was such a dick.

Ever since Rowan had joined the company, his insane work ethic (that rivaled hers, honestly) and the fact that he had immediately begun to compete with her for the same manager promotion had Aelin understandably frustrated, and it seems that Rowan was frustrated as well. However, Aelin was nothing but professional, so she never acted on her annoyance with him until the small passive-aggressive and sarcastic comments shared between them turned the silent feud not-so-silent, or secret. Soon enough, the entire office was aware of the fact that Aelin Ashryver Galathynius and Rowan Whitethorn hated each other and could not work together.

Of course, that just forced their boss to work together more often than not on data analysis projects, but they got their shit down. Somehow.

And now here they were, both working till the last possible second of the working day to show off their dedication to their jobs in order to somehow get the upper hand compared to the other. Everyone else had slowly begun to leave already, the office emptying out early especially with it being a Friday afternoon (even their boss had left), but this was an important report. With being promoted to a manager role, that would mean that they were the other’s boss, and Aelin wasn’t sure she’d be able to handle Rowan as her boss. He would definitely somehow make her working life hell, and she liked her job; she enjoyed working with the numbers and making graphs and analyzing these numbers.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard, and with every glance at the clock and at Rowan, her fingers worked faster, slowly beginning to cramp as she desperately tried to get that last sentence in so she could proofread it over quickly.

“How are you still writing, Galanthynius?” she heard Rowan taunt, and she rolled her eyes as she finished typing out her last thought. “You seem to be losing your touch.”

“Screw off, Whitethorn,” she growled, hitting enter and then saving the document — four times but who’s counting — before turning to look at his smug face. “Maybe you finished earlier because you didn’t have nearly as much detail as I do. It’s always quality over how fast something can get done, anyway.”

“Hmm, that wouldn’t make a difference if Maeve can’t look at the document bright and early on Monday, now would it?”

“Who said anything about her not having it done by Monday morning?” she asked, her eyes scanning the document over for any typos and coherency issues.

“Such arrogance.”

“It’s called confidence, Rowan. Maybe you’d attract more girls if you had any of that,” she replied sweetly. It was a blatant lie, though. He had enough confidence in himself that she was attracted to him. Not that she’d ever, ever, make that obvious to him.

“Not like you go out on many dates, either.” Aelin saved the file yet again after another read through, and she sent it to the printer, and she stood up, moving to the printer. Rowan followed her.

“How do you know I don’t have one tonight?”

“I think you’d be bragging about it much more if you did.”

Aelin leaned against the printer as it worked, and she ran her eyes over him. It was unfair how hot he looked in a white button-up collared shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, and gray slacks, but it wasn’t like she was unaware that she looked hot today as well. It was a navy long sleeved dress with a gold belt cinching around her waist and a v-neck that went deep enough to barely be considered professional.

“I don’t need to brag about my dates,” she said, turning to pick up her papers and stapling them. “I think my clothes are enough.”

Aelin saw his eyes roam over her, lingering on the v-neck, before snapping back to her face. “I suppose so. I’ve seen you look like a nun, so this is definitely something special.”

“Aw,” she cooed. “You like it. Now, if you’d kindly get out of my way, I have something to submit before I leave.”

She walked away from him and set the report on Maeve’s desk before picking up all of her belongings and packing it away and moving to leave the office. Waiting for the elevator took a bit, and by that time Rowan had joined her, silently standing next to her. The elevator dinged, announcing its arrival, and they both got on, still in utter silence until there was a loud clanging sound as the elevator jerked. Aelin lost her balance as she let out a cry of surprise, tumbling into Rowan’s side. He grabbed onto her waist to steady her with one hand braced on the side of the elevator, and the lights within had turned off before turning to a soft blinking red.

“What’s going on?” she asked, pushing herself away from him. Rowan moved to press a button on the elevator before they both realized that the building had lost power, effectively trapping them in the elevator.

“Shit,” he cursed, “we’re stuck.”

Aelin pressed the emergency speaking button, “Hello? Is anyone there? We’re stuck in the elevator.”

The speaker crackled to life immediately afterwards, with someone asking if they were okay and how many people were in the elevator before saying that the firefighters were on their way, but it would take at least half an hour.

“Well this is fantastic,” Aelin sighed, leaning against the wall.

“Too bad you’re missing out on your date,” Rowan said.

“Yeah, well at least you get to grace yourself in my presence for a bit longer.”

“As if I need more of you in my life.”

Aelin scoffed. “People could always use more of me in their lives. You wouldn’t be having nearly as much fun at work without me.”

“WIthout you? You can’t deal with half the tech problems we get if it weren’t for me. How did you make do without me?”

“Perfectly fine, Rowan, trust me.” In their heated conversation, she hadn’t realized when she’d moved away from the wall and instead was so close to Rowan that she could feel his body heat. His hand snaked around her waist and pulled him snug against her body, and her hands landed on his firm chest.

“I don’t believe you,” he whispered.

Aelin smiled, “I don’t care.”

She wasn’t sure if she had moved first or he had, but the next thing she knew, her arms were around his neck and both his hands were on her waist as their lips moved in tandem.

He was intoxicating as his lips devoured hers, and her brain spun as her body heated up in his hold.

Holy shit, Rowan was an amazing kisser.

She leaned up on her toes to get better access to his lips, and he leaned down even further. She couldn’t breathe, but she didn’t care. Who needed air when he was kissing her like that? It wasn’t possible for her to want to keep doing this with a man she hated, but her body didn’t care about that. Her body wanted Rowan’s hands all over her. Her body wanted him to slam her against the wall, hard enough that all she could feel was his body against hers.

Fortunately (or unfortunately?), her brain restarted, and Aelin pushed away from him, her chest heaving as she took gulps of air.

As the two looked at each other in silence, there wasn’t anything for them to say. She knew Rowan felt the same as she did. This was a mistake. An insanely amazing mistake, but a mistake regardless.

“This was a one time thing,” she breathed, and he nodded, his eyes still burning into her.

Thankfully, the elevator jerked slightly yet again as the speaker turned on again. “Good news, the power’s back, so everything’s fine.

“Great, thanks,” Rowan responded, and once they had arrived at the ground floor, Aelin resisted the urge to grab him again.

That could not happen again.

[ac-liveblogs]

Honestly they plainly shot themselves in the foot w that one bc like. They COULD do better. The "ichor of two dragons" animation is an endlessly cooler setup for the transformation than what they did in the game lmao.

Hahaha?! Holy shit I didn't know that existed til you mentioned it but you are so right???

Tbh, the way DH's entire storyline was handled is bonkers. The character Blade is introduced so that, despite DH's story saying Blade was hunting him down, you legitimately never get anything like that. This game is usually pretty good about you not needing to read Character Stories to understand what's going on, so Blade being... pretty chill in Dan Heng's presence for the most part reads as extremely strange. (and disappointing for Blade, who is So Boring I Could Cry.)

You would expect Blade to actually... hunt Dan Heng down for revenge. At some point. Argenti broke onto the Express, why not Blade. Instead, Dan Heng misses Blade's introduction into the story, misses Blade's introduction to the rest of the Astral Express (non-verbal), and by the time Dan Heng runs into him the game cares much more about Dan Feng so even their reunion immediately gets derailed into "oops Dan Heng got stabbed time to transform!"

And then the triumphant vocal track over Dan Heng parting the dragon sea even though we have next to no frame of reference why we should give one single shit about him having horns now.

We meet Jing Yuan independently of Dan Heng, and Jingliu (despite apparently being present during the Stellaron crisis) legitimately only shows up to exposition dump after the main storyline is over to a mostly unresponsive Dan Heng. We also learn what Dan Feng even did and why it mattered + why Blade wanted revenge after the main quest, well past when you could possibly capitalise on it for drama.

It is extremely similar to Genshin's horrifically lazy writing style. I had horror reel flashbacks to Scaramouche. It's still better but that's not good.

And it sucks! It seriously sucks because all the pieces of Dan Heng's storyline if handed to someone even slightly competent that wanted to put in the effort it would line up just fine, but the story just!!! Misses all of the emotional beats!!! You don't even get to fight Blade!

Dan Heng is my favourite so seriously, why this. It was also just weirdly early to be dumping all this information on us. Like, not even just a piece of the puzzle, his entire backstory...

Also, why did we leave Bailu there I get he doesn't want to get involved in the succession crisis but she has assassins after her -

Unrelated but how come most of the women, especially March 7th, were so catty in Xianzhou Luofu. It's not just me, right? Wasn't March weirdly mean and condescending there?

i completely agree!! Aloy is such an interesting addition to the lore, because simply observing how she exists within this world tells us SO MUCH about how World Travelers actually work, and what's unique to the twins that we wouldn't otherwise Know was just a them thing! I really wanna write her some fic, but i'm still p early into her own game and i'd hate to be out of character. but i LOVE aloy!! i picked up her game because i thought she was so interesting and wanted t learn more about her!! and i LOVE the idea of her having this special little connection with traveler!lumine, being the only ACTUAL fellow world traveller she's come across long-term! (as opposed to Fischl, who is a great comfort but ultimately making it up, and Alice, who never fucking shows up.)

i personally like to imagine her moving in to Dragonspine, because it reminds her of home. set up in that little camp the kid's dad set up before disappearing, she's got a great vantage point to go hunting, and she has an easy path to go say hi to her neighbor. Aloy-Albedo friendship fascinates me for so many reasons, especially in the 'wasn't born normally' department, and i LOVE thinking about these two having a really specific kind of friendship dynamic only for klee to barge right in and steal the spotlight because miss redhead lady NEEDS to come see the snowghoul she just made. Right Now. I like to imagine her coming down either side and having roughly equal time in Mondstadt and Liyue. we know from her character intro video that she HAS been in mondstadt, around starfall like... right around the same place we meet lumine(or aether). curious, no? i like to think about her struggling with the new language, and having a tougher time making friends here than the traveler did because she doesn't have a paimon to help her. i like to imagine the traveler and paimon putting in the effort to help her learn, because they KNOW how rough that can be. i like to think about her meeting razor, and finding a lot of common ground there. i LOVE how she's so restless in the teapot, to my great chagrin she doesn't even have any lines for the special teapot event but honestly it kinda fits her, she doesn't like to stay in there for TOO long. i love how that lowkey reflects your own experience, because most players are not going to be spending a lot of time in there once they've got it set how they want it.

fuck, i love including her in trying to understand how people get the visions they do!! how does she have a vision so IMMEDIATELY, and why is it Cryo? what does that say about cryo? what does that say about her? i am FASCINATED by the unique shape of her vision, we've seen vision shape be effected by the country you got it in, so where WAS she!! and that's before you talk about how PERFECTLY she fits into sumeru. she rarely if ever left my sumeru team, there were just so many times playing through where i thought "oh this is exactly aloy's kinda shit". teyvat wouldn't have the network for her focus, so she's basically entering the world missing a limb; imagine dealing with that, then finding about the akasha terminal, which is so similar, and THEN finding out it's compromised and you shouldn't use it. the angst potential is WRITHING.

so yeah uh. it makes me really sad that genshin fansdon't typically like Aloy's inclusion. i love her a lot and i think her and lumine should kiss.

I'm very very new to the Genshin Impact fandom and just Genshin as whole so when I learned about Aloy temporarily being in the game I was like: Awwww people should ship Aloy and Lumine cause they could both bond over being away from home and not feeling like they belong <333 but when I told my sister this (she's been into the game way longer than I have) she just looked at me with this face of utter and complete disgust lol. Like what do y'all have against Aloy??? "sHe DoEsNt HaVe AnY qUeStS oR pErSoNaLiTy" like yeah??? So??? That just means you have total free reign to do whatever you want with her in fics and art. Did she become a knight? Did she get a vision? Where did she move? Is she in a loving sapphic relationship with Lumine? Idk it's UP TO YOU. Be nice to her :(

haikyuu!! as genshin impact players

a/n: currently obsessed with genshin impact so i decided to merge it with my love for haikyuu!! this was honestly so much fun to write and i hope you guys like it !!

Hinata: he’s the one who always asks for help in the group chat when fighting bosses as well as the dragonspine quests. super thankful when you help him but you just have to be patient with him jumping and accidentally pressing ‘attack’ when gliding’

Kageyama: honestly thought that collecting all the anemoculi was the first objective so he went out and found EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. loves to flex his stamina at hinata by jumping up cliffs

Tsukishima: RIP most of his characters are hydro users so he has to visit the oceanid twice every day all like 'hey, fucker. it's me again'. someone please give him fischl. hides the fact that he failed the gliding exams about twenty times

Yamaguchi: wanted xiao so bad he made 150 pcs. of almond tofu and a summoning circle in his room before wishing for him on top of wangshu inn. cried tears of joy when he got him 

Ennoshita: super intellectual player. takes the time to calculate the stats on weapons, artifacts, and talents before enhancing them. likes using archers to spam long-distance attacks

Tanaka: in it for the WAIFUS. wants mihoyo to add a trade character feature so that he could trade his male characters and have an army of waifus. currently saving up primogems for hu tao

Noya: BENNET MAIN !! ceo of bennett supremacy basically and loves watching his ‘bouken da bouken!’ idle animation. adamantly believes that he should be a five-star character

Daichi: wasn’t that invested in playing until he got albedo as his first five-star character because he loves the guy so much. loves bringing him when he does co-op and when the other player thanks him for the ‘albedovators’ 

Sugawara: klee main because he loves how chaotic she is. like, he’ll literally use her to kill fish in the springvale lake and timmie’s birds. he’ll use his elemental burst for destroying the training dummies for ellin’s commission

Asahi: even though he has five-star characters, he still likes using the starter team because they feel like his family. explicitly uses amber and kaeya a lot just to prove the haters wrong

Oikawa: venti main because he relates to him on a spiritual level and actually cried during his story quest. also emotionally invested in the NPC quests and actually felt bad about not finding joel’s dad

Iwaizumi: has the WORST luck when it comes to gacha rolls. always gets a five-star on like, roll 80 and when he does, he always gets the non-banner one first. doesn’t know the diff between crit rate and crit damage and is too afraid to ask at this point

Hanamaki: fucking kills timmie's birds for FUN. also does livestreams of him walking from mondstadt to liyue or farming as many pieces of meat he can in a day (the most was 1126). calls the primo geovishap ‘rock daddy’ 

Matsukawa: believes in traveler supremacy and invests in leveling them up, no matter what anyone says about them being a support. ‘y’all are going to wish you leveled them up when traveler becomes the avatar’ he says

Ushijima: very much an explorer kind of guy and takes the time to forage everything he sees. also cooks a lot and has 288 sweet madame even though he doesn't really need it

Shirabu: someone told him that sucrose shouldn't be used as a main and now he's doing that out of spite. actually likes his team comps to be full of supports for the #supportsupremacy

Goshiki: he has such a hard time with boss fights but he's too proud to ask for help. knowing that, his senpais just show up in his world and ask if they could farm there to help him out

Kuroo: collects husbandos and co-op's in other players' worlds while role-playing as that husbando. he's gotten very popular because of this and is known as ‘the legendary co-op player’ 

Kenma: an amazing player, as you’d expect. he got to ar40 in probs two weeks and started livestreaming his plays. an absolute king at clearing abyss levels and showing off those satisfying elemental reactions

Yaku: WHAAAAAALE. you can tell by the fact that he always has the battle pass weapons and so many primogems. definitely a collector who tries to get all playable characters 

Lev: very chaotic player and accidentally walked all the way to liyue at ar10 while running away and dodging monsters. SOMEHOW managed to defeat boss childe without revival materials and by spamming noelle

Bokuto: has the best luck in gacha rolls, opposite to iwaizumi. he showed akaashi a pic of his first 10-wish roll (feat. qiqi, mona, and fischl) and was all ‘is this a good roll?’ 

Akaashi: great at building characters so he shares his knowledge by making videos on optimal character builds and team comps. explains things super well and everyone loves watching his stuff

Atsumu: likes to turn up the volume on his headphones and making lisa climb a really high cliff if you know what i mean. also desperately tried to roll for ganyu and spent all his primogems but got diluc instead 

Osamu: likes to spam genshin fan pages with dumb theories like ‘joel’s dad is the missing cryo yaksha’ or ‘madame ping is going to be on the next character banner.’ has a soft spot for barbara though

Suna: he’s often falling off cliffs trying to farm violetgrass but he does it out of love for qiqi. shows off himself using qiqi as main dps when someone says she’s just a support because he can

Kita: his signature literally says ‘come to my world if you want to farm’. his map is full of landmarks for ascension materials and will even help you find them. in charge of bringing a healer when you guys fight bosses

Sakusa: loves doing photoshoots with his characters, especially capturing stills of their elemental bursts. his fave character is ningguang because of beautiful and photogenic she is (even has the yellow seelie to match her)

I think the most wholesome and satisfying part about playing Genshin Impact is when you get to a point where your team is strong enough to take on the world, you become someone else's little guardian and/or mentor.

Whether it's your friend who you dragged into playing the game or just some rando's world you requested to join on a whim, nothing feels more satisfying than just helping out a new player make their way around Teyvat. Carrying them through boss battles, helping them find chests or any oculi they're missing or even passing on tips and tricks you've learned along the way, you've become those kind souls who once joined your world to help you out on your journey and maybe aspired to be those people one day.

And honestly, I wish I can relive my early Genshin days (Minus the great anemoculi and geoculi hunt for Zhongli then proceeding to lose my 50/50 to Diluc with little time and primos left lmao)

So shoutout to the people who joined my world when I was starting out. I don't remember your igns anymore unfortunately but ya'll were so patient and kind. I hope you all win your 50/50s early :)

[koutawoo]

I unfortunately didn't have the time until about a few weeks ago. my friend kept talking about it and I remember I checked it out but was more focused on other things. Lately I have been seeing all those fanfics writers I like talking about them and was like "Ok, time to get to the bottom of this" and got hooked! So I was kinda into the whole Kazuha hype, but HE CALLED ME GIRLIE! I mean... cheeky and OMG rude! But he kinda saved me? I just love this personality and everything about him, he is just, isn't good or bad... just... I want him but I have no way of getting him at the moment... also, from what I read here and there, is story is great as well, can't wait to get to rank 40 to be able to play it!

I know what you mean! please have a husband patch!!! like these hangouts or something that allow you to have some dating? we already have friendship level, it would just be awsome and only add to the game 💕

Thoma is just great, I just love his jokes! He is a charmer, I mean when Beidou was like "... if he tries to pull any moves on you..." and I was like "please! pull any move you want!"... but honestly his chibi art with the ino shiba is so cute 💕also, I am so with you, I would die if they make any art of him with animals! I am a dog lover myself and... this is a sure way to my heart, as if he didn't nestle there already. I would love to know his story!

and to think I had a writer's block for a while now until I started playing.

*screeches* mood??? my friend (not the childe slander one) mentioned genshin once but i brushed him off bc frankly i did not care about gaming. but then everyone (the writers) was, as u said, talking about genshin !! so i was like 🤨🤨 so i gave into the genshin hype after asking @/edensxgarden about it LOL

kazuha?? i mean… kazuha’s cool (he rlly is), but like… CHILDE?? yeah, i get u LOL childe’s literally everything and when he laughs, or when he flips a switch and becomes mr antagonist *cries* yeah, he’s not good, he’s not bad, i’m glad they let us see him as childe the fatui harbinger AND childe the charming man-boy. he’s got so much confidence about him especially since he was trained to be the strongest since he was a kid and he excels at everything he does. but at the same time, he LACKS confidence in himself, as u will see in his story quest. and yknow how he uses a bow as his weapon?? man literally nerfed himself bc he said he’s the least adept with the bow but it makes it all the more satisfying when he beats enemies with it *sighs* childe’s got me ruined

plsplsplsplspls come back and rant to me about childe’s story quest once u get to it bc OML i loved it so much. and about childe !! yeah.. it’ll be a while till he gets a rerun :// i honestly wasn’t expecting reruns to happen so early, and it cant be helped when ur a newer player who missed out on it T__T

inazuma is literally FEM power atm so the husband department is lacking. i mean, im not complaining bc i want my wives too but LOL the hangout events sometimes literally feel like a romantic getaway but it’s just for us to get to know the characters on a deeper level. and dudddee, it’s only for 4* characters atm 😔 at least, if the rumors r true about thoma being a 4*, we should be getting a hangout event with him one day

AH, SAME! i was NOT expecting to see thoma right off the bat with so much screen time, dude, thoma’s a heart breaker 😔 he got my heart broken when he was gonna buy the lady a dinner date with US right there OTL jk, but he’s just rlly smooth huh

his story is probably angsty, considering that he’s not from inazuma and he’s a puppy that ayaka picked up and made her friend/advisor. i head cannon that thoma is a countryside farmer boy LOL theres so much fan art of thoma and dogs out there so i hope u saw all those serotonin inducing pieces 😩💓

congrats getting over ur writers block omg >:0 but maybe the issue now is that u have too much to write about LOL

[seacllie]

matchup: hi, may i request matchups for obey me and genshin impact? i’m bi so any gender is ok! im an impulsive dumbass and my attention span sucks, but i still manage to cheese my way to good grades. i suck at talking, so i tend to keep to myself. i do try to be sociable, and i can maintain short conversations with strangers. but i can’t help but stick with the people i know. i try to be honest, and i like helping others and being seen as reliable. ive depended on others a lot in the past and im trying to be less dependent! also i’m basically nocturnal because my sleep schedule is really messed up :’) i like tea, freshly baked goods, and comfy sweaters! as for hobbies, i like to play video games (especially rpgs!) read scary stories, and i also love crafts like knitting and bracelet-making! especially if i have someone to make things for. for dislikes, i don’t like being too idle, and having to wake up early. as for my ideal date, i’m honestly satisfied with just spending time with the person i like, but i think it would be fun to do something spontaneous, like drive out somewhere in the middle of the night. thank you so much and i hope you have a great day! 🍀

I think you match well with...

SIMEON

🍊 simeon would either go along with your impulsiveness if he thinks it's amusing or he would stop you before things get dangerous or serious. he highkey wants to know how you still managed to pass even though you didn't pay attention that much, he's genuinely curious.

🍊 as one of the transfers from the celestial realm, him as well as Luke are quite popular. if you're trying to be more sociable, simeon could help you with that, if you accept his help of course. he understands that you want to try to be independent, however, if you're trying to handle an tough situation, he would come over and ask if you wanted or needed help. but of course the choice is yours to decide.

🍊 sleep is very important, he would try to at least have you sleep longer than you usually do. freshly baked good? say no more, you guys would have tea time with treats made by Luke, sometimes he would join, sometimes he leaves you two alone. he would definitely be down to play video games with you! maybe drag Luke into playing as well. he loves every single craft you make, he would also sometimes make you something handmade.

🍊 leaving for a while wouldn't be that bad, feeling the cool breeze at night isn't that bad. normally you'll be the one driving. simeon adores spending quality time with you, he'll either say it out loud to your face or say it through his actions. maybe during your little date, he would tell embarrassing or non embarrassing stories about the 7 brothers back when they were angels

JEAN GUNNHILDR

🍊 jean would be worried about your impulsiveness, maybe trying to spot you from her window or asking an knight to check how were you doing. because jean is a busy woman, although she does try to make space in her schedule to spend time with you. other than that, she's genuinely grateful and happy that you still chose to stay with her even if she didn't give you as much attention as you deserved. don't worry though, she makes up the missing affection + attention when she's free and spending her time with you.

🍊 she understands how you like helping others as that's what she practically does for an living, she does enjoy helping others though. she loves it when you try to be independent, she does worry about you sometimes though. jean would be with you through the entire night, probably buried under her piles of paperwork. its funny how she tells you that sleep is important, yet she's here spending the another sleepless night due to work + her undying knightly passion

🍊 when she finally makes time, she uses her free time to be with you, no one is allowed to talk to her about work during her time with you. she would be interested in your hobbies or your interests, she wants to take the time to get to know you more so don't be surprised to see one day jean in the library learning how to do crafts so that she could maybe make something with you next time.

🍊 it's hard to have dates because of Jean's job and passion as an knight, so most of your dates were spent either at yours or her house or her office or even accompanying her solving issues around mondstadt. but if she's really feeling it, like really really really feeling it. she might join you for an nightly stroll around mondstadt or relaxing under the great tree (windrise).
