#i thought i was a lawrence simp

[okimsimp2023]

Okay, girls and boys, or whoever you were, who caught 2017-2019, when be indie games, including batim, were at their peak…

Admit it, who had a crush on this bastard?

[randomenglishmajor]

Okay, so... Phineas and Ferb is a lot more complex than you might think for "a kid's show"?

Lawrence and Ferb are immigrants. (British and white, but still) Not to mention, the Flynn-Fletchers are a blended family that absolutely loves each other (Candace canonically states multiple times that she loves her brothers, even though she's always trying to bust them).

Isabella is a simp for Phineas, yes, but 1) she's very kickass and Phineas knows and relies on this, 2) she's Mexican AND Jewish. Two ethnicities that don't typically have good role models in the media.

Buford and Baljeet's relationship is odd, granted. Bully and bull-ee. Friends. But because Buford keeps being around Baljeet and HIS friends, he becomes more rounded as a person, showing his knowledge of French, random historical facts and literary quotes. Baljeet has someone to ground him when he gets too in his head with math and science. Oh, and let's also not forget that Baljeet is shown to be extremely smart. He made plans for a PORTAL TO MARS. He's a stereotypical nerd, but he's Indian and proudly so.

I dunno. I think most people focus on the smart writing and humor and music from the series, and maybe someone hasn't thought about this before?

[dewpourz]

HEYY HI just poking my head to say ur thoughts on Lawrence and Alison gave me LIFE like YESSS YOU GET IT!!! im kicking my feet and making happy noises rn

Like, “he can’t let go of anything until he (accidentally) kills it” MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY but phrased perfectly

Also your art is amazing im a simp for your Lorraine <3<3

OH MY GOD HIIIII YES I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT LARRY AND ALISON I HAVE THOUGHT SO MUCH ABOUT THEIR DYNAMIC AND THEIR LIVES TOGETHER BEFORE THEIR MARRIAGE and also this interaction is my roman empire

Like I cannot not think about it every single day "There's the way things look, and there's the way things are, Lawrence." He tells her he'll get her real flowers when he comes back, but that night is the night he goes to meet with Clara in the hotel, it's also the night he gets kidnapped, he never brings her the flowers It really tells you a lot about who Lawrence is as a person it makes me emo Also thank you I am in love with her too I need to someday actually paint her but I am too busy sketching her kissing women (namely; Eve aka Adam)

My Books and other Media: April 2024 Wrap up!!!

Here is what I thought of these! As well as some video essays I LOVED because I eat those up!

The Time I Got Drunk and Saved A Demon by Lemming:

A hilarious romantasy adventure romp! Our Heroine, Cin, has to team up with a demon to go on an adventure when they find out that their goddess possesses demons to attack people and the only way to stop her is to destroy her sacred items. It's laugh-out-loud funny one minute and sweet, romantic, and very spicy the next. I would highly recommend it! 5/5

The Death of Jane Lawrence by Starling

In a Victorian AU world, Jane doesn't want to be stuck as a spinster figure of pity with her adopted family, so she agrees to be in a marriage of convenience with a surgeon named Augustine Lawrence. Things seem to be going great until on her wedding night, she is dropped off at the manor house he lives in...at the haunted manor house he lives in. Since Crimson Peak is one of my favorite movies and this book was inspired by it, I had to pick it up and I was not disappointed! Very much had the same vibes but is distinctly its own thing! I liked Jane and her practicality and I loved Augustine and how much of a pathetic meow meow and simping malewife he was for her. There is plenty of scary, gruesome imagery and I kept being so nervous, thinking "how is Jane gonna deal with this?" Plus there was a pretty darn good twist in the last third and I was genuinely surprised by the ending, without giving anything away The only thing is that sometimes the prose is so poetic that it becomes vague, especially one section right before the very end. But I loved it! 4/5

Bride

Okay, so in a nutshell, this is an arranged marriage story between the vampire Misery and the werewolf Lowe, since the vampires, werewolves, and humans have been in constant conflict. For what I liked, the book was really funny. I enjoyed Misery's sarcasm, snark, and badassery and the romance felt developed and real. This is infamous for the omegaverse elements in the smut, but it wasn't overwhelming for someone who hasn't read a lot and I heard it's TAME compared to fanfiction. I especially liked Misery's friend Serena and I ADORED her relationship with Lowe's kid sister, Ana, who is so adorable and funny. My only qualms are that the romance felt slow to start, there were a lot of bland, forgettable side characters to keep track of, and the climax felt rushed and unclear. 4/5.

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Fawcett

My favorite book of the month! This tells of socially awkward, incredibly intelligent professor Emily Wilde in the early 1900's. She is a professor of Fairy studies and is off in a tiny Scandinavian village to study the fairies there. Who else should show up but her charming, rakish rival in academia, Wendell Bambleby. They realize how much the fairies have messed up the local villagers and plan to take action. Okay, I LOVE that the fairies and the fae feel so much like the fairy tales and folklore of yore. The author did her homework! These aren't the hot people with wings and six-packs of Sarah J Maas. They are inhuman, immensely powerful, and can bless you or curse you in a minute's notice if you take the wrong step. I adored Emily and she seemed very much coded as neurodivergent with her passion for fairies her fear of offending others by saying the wrong thing and her lack of reading into social cues. And WENDELL BAMBLEBY! My BambleBook Boyfriend. He is a mix of Prince Hal from The Henriad and Howl from Howl's Moving Castle. He is slutty, constantly inviting his Bambleby Booty Calls, and lazy, having his students do all the work, but he begins to genuinely fall for Emily and is as charming and sweet beneath it all as he can be with a subtle element of "touch her, and you die!" It's dryly hilarious and the third act was incredible. The characters were well-developed and flawed, but still compelling, relatable, and likable. I adored this to death and would HIGHLY recommend it! 5/5

Twisted Love by Huang

In a nutshell, this is a brother's friend and grumpy/sunshine romance. What I love about Ana Huang is that she always knows how to pace and develop a romance between two characters AND her spice is top tier. There are a few funny moments, as well as genuinely sweet ones. However, there are all sorts of elements that veneer into the silly to where I don't take it 100 percent seriously. Like, how our main girl just HAPPENS to be friends with a princess of another country at some public university. And that our main guy is 27 yet a billionaire CEO of a whole company...and he just hangs out with college kids! Like?!?!?!!? I say a good 4/5 just because I always like her.

My Throat an Open Grave by Bovalino

What I expected:

What I got:

Ok, so this teenage girl, Leah, is miserable living in her tiny, religious, conservative town. One night, she is sick of babysitting her baby brother and offers him accidentally to the Lord of the Wood and wouldn't you know it! The Lord of the Wood takes him! So the town tells her she has got to go and get him back, though no girl who runs to the forest for that ever returns. So she gets there and...it's this nice, open minded, cottagecore normal ass village. Other than the premise at the beginning, this isn't Labyrinth but a wholesome Midsomar for kids. Though I do like the middle finger to conservative, small town purity culture, it kind of dragged and wasn't that scary and the stakes weren't high. I expected a scary, folk horror journey, but just got kind of "eh, here's a nice cult that doesn't judge you. You know kid, are you sick of your tiny, repressive town? Here's the answer: join a cult!" There is a really good twist, a scene that got kind of spicy and pushed it for a YA book, and I appreciate that the Jareth in this is around her age instead of some grown ass man offering himself to a minor (sorry, but I am in the minority of Labyrinth who thinks Sarah was right. She made the right choice at the end), it felt like it wasn't the heroes journey I expected and got kind of bland. 3/5

Bonus, My Favorite Video Essays:

The Dark Romance Community is Mad at Me: Okay, this girl, A Model Who Reads, posted a TikTok showing her surprise that the publishing company she works for was releasing a book marked as a Serial Killer Sexual Assault Romance, the dark romance community ATTACKED her in the comments. Here, she explains the problems with it why she isnt' sorry, and her issues with dark romance in full. Insightful, and incredible, and she finally addresses the issue concerning this angry, self-righteous, and unempathetic culture that has emerged recently concerning trigger warnings in media.

Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Video Essay My man, Kyle Kallgren, has done it again! Here, he breaks down Anne Washburn's play Mr Burns, a Post Electric Play, a play that portrays a post-apocalyptic story of a group of survivors recalling a Simpsons episode which then said episode transforms to a staged play to an epic sung through morality opera by the group at the end. He discusses post-apocalyptic media, the evolution of humor, and how humanity always triumphs over adversity. It's funny, deeply human, and chilling and incredibly well researched, in the Kyle KAllgren fashion. Highly recommend it, his channel and all his videos!

I just finished jjk season 1, and tonight I’m planning to watch 0 before I do season 2.

I’ve heard it all really starts going downhill from here, so in the spirit of wanting to preserve my innocent mind, I am writing down my thoughts before I watch & will reblog with my updated thoughts.

I hope Inumaki Toge doesn’t die

I hope Nanami Kento doesn’t die (but I have the feeling that he does)

Aoi Todo is a cinnamon roll

I fucking LOVE Nobara

I’ve been added to the hive of Gojo simps

There’s smth about men who are a lil cocky, who make their own rules but have a strong moral code

And ofc he’s physically gorgeous too, MAPPA really just obliterates me with the shots of his eyes

Megumi is so *chefs kiss*

Itadori is honestly one of the more likable protagonists, I relate to him more than other shows I’ve watched

The Jennifer Lawrence thing is funny as all hell like she exists in the jjkcu

It would be hilarious if she did a cameo in some sort of OVA or spin off

I’ve heard the gist of the whole SatoSugu dynamic and while I haven’t seen them on screen together yet, I have seen fanarts & playlists on their relationship and I already ship so hard

With that being said, I am fully expecting to bawl my eyes out over the movie tonight

I have planned to have popcorn and ice cream and will have a box of tissues at the ready

So wish me luck and stay tuned for the updates

[purpleandstarlight]

Continuing on with part two... @hateweasel tagging u in case u don't see this on your dash

I'll be tagging these DLTD Thoughts in case anyone wants to search for them or block them?

-(Sent this one as an anon ask to Hate back then so you may remember):

Me, at chapter 149: We're getting ready for a fashion show now.

My friend: ...Good? Now we're at The Devil Wears Prada.

-DLTD: Lawrence was the host

Me, who has an awful memory with names: ...Who the fuck is Lawr- OH WAIT.

(To be fair Lawrence barely appears...he do be kinda useless, as me and my bestie bullied him about)

-Me: Okay so I finished the fashion show and we have two (2) possibilities: Either it starts a serious arc full of action and death...or it's another chapter of them doing some random ass shit, you never know with DLTD.

-I apparently at the time remembered that Pluto was a thing in the anime filler and the thought that DLTD!Ciel had to deal with him in the past broke my heart in sympathy? Now i know he thankfully wasn't a thing in the DLTD canon at least.

-Me discovering there was a DLTD discord server at some point?? wich I genuinely forgot about until now.

-Starting chapter 175, while Johnathan (did i get it right?)'s Dad points a gun at Alois, i realized his name was Victor. Wich is also the name of my best friend's sorta villain in an original trilogy she's writing, a character I costantly shitpost about bc I love to hate him. So you see why it was funny to us. After that, this conversation happened:

Me: Yeah but this guy was a good person, he didn't deserve to share a name with your Victor...

My friend: That's fair- no wait...didn't he point a gun to Alois?

Me: Well, yeah...and he also shot him in the head...and he was a criminal...BUT HE WAS GOOD-

My friend: ...sure

-Me, during the Alois Hellsing training camp arc: There's a kid named Irons and it was SO FAMILIAR to me but I didn't know why? Turns out he's the son of the professor. That's why I remembered his name.

-For 196 chapters, I always read Westley correctly. Then DLTD said " "I solemnly swear!" replied the Westley lad" and my brain misread it as Weasley...that's an ironic line to mess up on...

-My gaydar never alerting me about Daniel until the ferris wheel chapter? For some reason?? Wich I know now that you didn't intend for him to be gay at the start but honestly, with how much he talked about Cielois' endeavors??? There were signs.

- I didn't know that the "Yes, your highness'' thing started up with Luka in the anime, not Claude, bc I never rewatched season 2 since i was a kid so i picked most things up from the DLTD context? And. Yeah I didn't connect it to Luka I connected it to Claude. And I was scared until they revealed it was Luka.

-I suspected that Hellsing would be losing her mind laughing (mentally. But she would still roast him slightly for it) at Ciel's simping when he called like "Hey so...my boyfriend's brother is kinda back from the dead but I gotta do this extremely expensive ritual to help him stay alive so that my bf wont be sad...can I?" but you never showed that call and I was heartbroken over it.

Saw sick fics/emeto fics?

Anyone here in the Saw fandom into sickfics, specifically fics with emeto?

I LOVE emeto fics, and I love to read fics about/see fan art of my favorite male characters getting sick and throwing up. There’s a surprising lack of it in the Saw fandom.

I’m simping HARD for Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor is seriously hot) and I’m craving, needing and absolutely thirsting for emeto content of him. I need to see this man sick, horribly nauseous and puking his guts out. Or puking for any reason. I don’t care why, I just want to see him sick and being comforted by someone. 👀

Please Saw fandom, give me a morsel.

I’ll gladly take emeto content of Adam, Lawrence and Peter as well! Really, I’ll take emeto content of just about any male Saw character except ones I don’t like (such as Eric Matthews, slow ass motherfucking Jeff and that sleaze bag cop from 3D).

I wrote a Mark sickfic and posted it on AO3, where it got more attention than I thought it would. That tells me I’m not alone, there are others who want to read about Mark puking.

If anyone else has any recommendations for Saw sick fics WITH EMETO I’d love to hear them! Please and thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

AINUN'S FILM REVIEW

THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES

Ratings: 9.7/10

It was an emotionally conflicting experience watching President Snow's character development and eventual rise to power when they have freaking Tom Blyth playing the protagonist. I am going to need a few nights to render my thoughts and resolve my moral dilemma 🙂 ✌️. All throughout the film, I cannot help but imagine the Tumblr uproar if this were to be released in 2010-2014. I just know Tumblr girlies (me included) would be completely insufferable, simping over yet another problematic fictional man. 

Full disclaimer though, I haven't yet read the book (I will), so my whole review is going to be based on my first time experiencing his story and the film only. Minor Spoiler Alert!

Right off the bat, very surprising (but obviously expected) this film absolutely nailed it. Once again, a Hunger Games movie outmatched previous releases and broke the bad-sequel curse. It would've been a solid 10/10 from me if it didn't push me into a spiral of moral dilemma over Snow's actions and how GORGEOUS he looked when he was younger (/joke) (/but not really) (damn you, Tom Blyth).

Truly, Francis Lawrence did his magic once more, the whole deliverance of the story was a cinematic blessing. The fight scenes and the tension built up before and after the games had me on my feet, gripping the edge of my seat, terrified yet enthralled by what was about to happen. Having read and watched the trilogy, I have a slight notion of how the ending would be. Whatever happens, Snow will survive and rise as the most powerful victor in all of Panem. And to know that, whilst watching the games and his exile story played out, honestly terrifies me. 

Having the story laser-focused (and very well written) on the main villain had me occasionally losing myself in his emotions and perspective, I lost grip on the reality of the abuse and oppression The Capitol inflicted on all 12 districts and their people, with The Hunger Games as the peak reminder of their terrors, showing the people who're actually in power. I found myself empathizing with Snow's character during some of his vulnerable moments. For a moment I imagined if only people were nicer, if his circumstances were a little bit more ideal, Snow would have grown up to be a better person (which obviously was a terribly false assumption as this man is honestly devil reincarnated). 

ALSO, as a self-proclaimed musical addict, I simply cannot write this review without giving my highest praise to Rachel Zegler, Dave Cobb and James Newton Howard for perfecting the film with their music. Every time Zegler starts singing, I get goosebumps all over. Her verses and emotions took hold of my entire body and moved me to feel whatever emotions the creators wanted me to feel. Midway, I felt like Zegler's decision to pursue acting instead of singing should make hit singers grateful because she would sweep them away so quickly with that voice and talent 🥹.

The film perfectly mirrors how fights against oppression are often harshly labelled as unjust terrors or savage rebellions, deserving of brutal punishments by the ruling governments. Regardless of how these "rebellions" were simply a desperate attempt for the oppressed to survive another day. When the stakes are too high, beyond their control, and the prospect of a better future is bleak, they would have nothing more to lose. Fighting would be the only option they have. It would be either fight or die. A literal, real-life hunger game where the whole world is your arena. And considering current global events, the release of this film feels extremely fitting. Which raises one big question: "If you can stand with the rebels fighting for justice, against immoral and inhumane rulings in movies and books, why won't you stand for them in real life?"

The movie ended with Snow finally getting a spot in The Capitol, a near guarantee of a successful future, with his grandmother and Tigris by his side congratulating him. Not going to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't watched the film, but I'm just gonna say that in that scene I so wish I could hear both Tigris and Snow's inner thoughts and emotions. 

In conclusion, I regret not watching this movie sooner and totally recommend all dystopian fiction fans to watch in the theaters!

Modern au chapter 7

this took a hot second to finish because half way through I stopped, wrote a serial killer outtake from this universe and decided to make it vampires. 7,400 words later I got back to writing the longfic. In this chapter Rhys makes a shocking disovery that isn’t all too shocking, Tim gets doxxed and there’s a lot of talking. Find the chapter here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37983421/chapters/110152173

Tws: Firehawk (Lilith) doxxes someone's deadname, posts a pretransition photo and misgenders someone and uses a lot of terf rhetoric in this. she is not a good character here. also tw for a bit of Jack typical violence.

excerpts

“the boards making me do an ama so ask away kiddos” -hj69 (Handsome Jackass🔫) Friday, 4:33 pm. Rhys scowled, he’d missed an opportunity to ask his idol about some of his theories, though he doubted Handsome Jack would have replied to him. He tapped the thread to see what questions had been answered, maybe there would be enough material for new conspiracies.

“Are you hot? 🔥” - mtxx67 ( Coleslaw slut) Friday, 4:34 pm

“duh” -hj69 (Handsome Jackass🔫) Friday, 4:52 pm

“Is Hyperion going to continue its forays into the arms trade?” - noahblack (Noah Black Pandoran Times) Friday, 4:36 pm

“guess u have to wait and see” -hj69 (Handsome Jackass🔫) Friday, 4:59 pm

“Face reveal when?” - pissbaby23 (Hyperion SIMP) Friday, 4:40 pm

“soon patience is a virtue u know” -hj69 (Handsome Jackass🔫) Friday, 4:57 pm

“At least tell us what color eyes you have!” - xx_Skullfukr_xx (Step on my neck) Friday 4:52

“colors kiddo not color” -hj69 (Handsome Jackass🔫) Friday, 5:00 pm

......

“For coffee he drinks 6 shots of the strongest espresso money can buy and chases it with a disgustingly sweet energy drink. At night he takes his psych meds with whiskey, which is by the way a horrible idea,” he said, a tinge of annoyance in his voice. Rhys was a bit confused as to how Tim knew this, the second part was a pretty intimate detail of the CEO’s life.

“Handsome Jack’s on psych meds?” Rhys asked, that really did make him seem human. Jack laughed and took Rhys by the hands.

“Oh yeah, he’s on…” he looked down at his pill box “ …two….five… eight nine … nine medications,”  he said. Was Jack fucking with him? He’d just counted his own meds…

“Wait,” Rhys said, attempting to gather his thoughts. There were a lot of things that just sort of added up, the money, the tech, the trans healthcare, the twitter callout, and the eyes.

“No… nuh uh. You’re not…” he stuttered. Jack just smiled. The theories were all lining up. But Rhys had heard Handsome Jack’s voice on a few leaked recordings, jacked off to it even, and he had never once heard that voice and thought “hey that guy sounds like my pal Jack Lawrence,”

.......

Apollo’s lyre posted the following the previous year:

“Y’all I work at a certain company and while I can’t reveal any info about its CEO especially what he looks like but he’s hot  (sorry I know), I do have a few recordings I snuck out from my job. I know you sick fucks love this guy so here’s some food. Enjoy,” Below it were several full links. Each link had a title.

“Handsome Jack humiliates department head”

“I think he killed this guy? For mentioning his wife? Unclear since the paramedics took the guy away but he looked dead to me”

“Handsome Jack chokes a guy but it's actually strangulation because apparently there’s a difference?”

“Warning this one’s pretty graphic but Handsome Jack shoots a guy with a prototype weapon”

“Handsome Jack threatens a man? Honestly I don’t know what's going on here”

[livvyofthelake]

fully just gonna be a magisterium post just tbh

callum hunt is 100% that guy who thinks he’s too mature to dress up for halloween (this is what he would SAY. of course the real reason he doesn’t want to dress up is because he’s terrified to be perceived as childish and he thinks every costume is embarrassing) but his friends are having a party so he does some bare minimum shit like slapping on a batman t shirt and maybe a black cape. he will be removing the cape ten minutes into the party <3

tamara rajavi is so girl who loves halloween… you just know her parents are real haters about it and never took her trick or treating and she had to go with like jasper or some non magical friend and she always saved all her allowance from september to be able to buy herself a costume because her parents will let her do all the holiday stuff ONLY if she takes care of it all because they’re just so against it… and she was probably a kid dressing up as like. a ladybug one year and wonder woman the next and princess jasmine the next etc. just always something new. bet she was PISSED in iron year when she definitely couldn’t do a costume at school. i bet they let her after the first year and she slayed. i bet her and jasper did bff costumes silver year while call was in prison. i bet they were like. sharkboy and lavagirl or something awesome. is lavagirl too thematically on the nose for tamara? maybe they were like. OH THEY WOULD SO DO DANIEL AND JOHNNY THE KARATE KID. jasper would EAT UP the cobra kai gi…. tamara would love dressing up as daniel larusso….. woah this is so real. anyway. yeah tamara is SUCH a halloween girl…

aaron stewart would loveeeee doing halloween with tamara… he had a sad childhood he’s never gotten to do the holiday properly… copper year i KNOW she got him those super fancy fake fangs so he could be a vampire…. bronze year they probably tried coordinating a trio costume but call wouldn’t commit so they had to be like. luke and leia star wars. and they got call the han solo costume but he pretended like he forgot to put it on. of course the reality is that he is terrified of the romantic implications of such a costume and overthinks the entire ordeal until he throws up. but well aaron and tamara don’t know that so they just put it down to call being a halloween hater. of course then aaron dies. but halloween after he comes back he would dive right back into the costumes… everyone else thinks it’s weird that tamara wants to do a group costume with alex strike but no one comments because they assume she just ran out of other friends and needed four more people to do the scooby doo gang or whatever. of course aaron is alex so he’s just happy to be there. the gang knows. i imagine it would take like. a week for the rest of their classmates to start suspecting but that’s irrelevant. he would slay as fred though <3 (of course call is shaggy and tamara is daphne and gwenda is velma and jasper is scooby. which he hates soooo bad but would agree to because he’s a simp and gwenda asked)

jasper of course grew up with tamara so he’s used to a certain caliber of halloween enthusiasm…. i think he would never wear a costume that’s Embarrassing in any way (until aforementioned scooby doo year. he’s normal by then he has a cool gf and friends they fixed him). he would be like. an athlete or something. idk any athletes. a famous soccer player. a famous basketball player. someone. idk. he would be a cowboy. he would be ghostface. stuff like that. never looking like he put too much thought into a costume lest he appear crazy, but never slacking it either. what did britta say about jeff in epidemiology. he puts in too much effort to pick a costume where he’s accidentally handsome. exactly. johnny lawrence as stated above. also was definitely a vampire as a kid at one point.

never got to gwenda. this post sat in my drafts for weeks but i have to just post it now because it’s literally halloween night. ok sorry gwenda i was gonna say you’d dress up as bad bitches every year like jennifer check or heather chandler or raven that’s so raven. or an unappreciated by your peers olivia pope. anyway. and post!

characters i like rn and what they would or should dress up as for halloween

ok but like

imagine a sagau au where the reader isn't recognized by the acolytes

but they aren't being hunted down by them either

and in this au looking like the creator isn't a sin it just warrants a "damn must be truly blessed by the creator to be blessed with their face"

and the reader just kinda wants to see how long it takes for everyone to realize

also venti is the first to know and the reader literally begs him not to tell anyone

and they both just kinda

Say My Name

In where you begin your journey in a fairly dull way, but that doesn't make it any less exciting.

Part two

Characters: Barbara, Noelle, Venti

Notes: Once again, I have made Venti a prominent character in a fic. I have grown far too attatched to him :( AND I WANTED TO MAKE THIS MORE ABOUT NOELLE BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM BECAUSE VENTI'S FAT ASS TOOK UP ALL OF IT. And I didn't want to shove something in at the end, I thought it was a good stopping point so I didn't stretch the fic on longer than it needed to go. Anyways this was fun to write either way :)

warnings: fluff, cult behaviors, comical

Considering how extravagant and lively Teyvat is, your arrival was fairly dull.

You were freaking out of course, your heart beating out of your chest and breathing erratic. What were you supposed to do when you wake up in your favorite game? What was the right course of action?

Frankly, you thought you were dead or about to die. Teyvat is crawling with high level monsters. Maybe this was all a big fever dream?

You sighed, clutching your head, so many thoughts whirling around and yet none of them stayed long enough for you to get a good grasp of the situation or the best course of action.

But one thought remained consistent as your eyes drifted over to the path laid out before you. Mondstadt.

The moment you lay your eyes on the bridge leading to the Mondstadt gates you can't help yourself, running past Timmie's birds, shouting out a quick sorry to him, and sprinting as fast as you could to the gates. You slowed as you neared them and Lawrence - the gate guard - stopped you in your tracks.

"Greetings strange but respectable traveler!" He saluted, his eyes wide staring at you and you assumed it's because of the odd way you dressed, "May I ask what business you have in Mondstadt?"

"Oh! Just visiting." You grinned, feeling a tad bit dizzy at hearing his voice right in front of you and not just through your headphones. Not to mention the fact that his hair looked so real and nice.

He hummed and nodded, "Alright then, just don't cause any trouble." He waved you off.

That was easy... you mused. Though you didn't dwell on it and marveled at the wonderous city adorned with the high-noon sun and pretty flowers.

You could hear the humming of bards and birds, the sound of Flora selling her flowers, and of course Donna simping over Diluc.

It was all so familiar, from the people to the music and the tiles on the floor, it all felt like the beginning of your journey. Almost like home, you couldn't help but hum along to the merry music.

You passed by Katheryne and she waved at you knowingly but didn't say anything. You decided not to question her about it - Katheryne knew a lot of things anyways so you decided this was pretty in-character for her - and you waved back with a grin.

You wandered meaninglessly through the calming streets, still humming the tune. You came upon the fountain in the plaza and paused. Usually, you'd climb up the wall to get past but now you had to actually walk.

You chuckled, you weren't sure why but this was such a nice feeling and you sprinted to the left until you came upon a set of stairs. You climbed up them and made your way to Venti's large statue.

When you made it, you craned your neck up to take it all in, an awed smile on your face.

"Ah, are you a newcomer?" A nearby nun asked you, snapping you out of your dazed state.

"Oh! Uh- yeah I am!" You grinned sheepishly.

The nun hummed, smiling warmly, "You must be truly blessed to look so similar to our creator. You can go into the cathedral if you want to see our offerings to them." She nodded towards said building, "Hope you enjoy your stay in Mondstadt!" She waved, now even allowing you to get a word out before moving along.

You stared after her for a minute before whispering to yourself, "What the fuck-"

You turned back around and stared cautiously at the cathedral. What did she mean by creator? Stuff like this has never been mentioned in the lore before...

You'd been in the cathedral maybe a hundred times and had never seen anything that could be attributed to some... creator or whatever she meant by that.

So, naturally, you had to go and investigate.

The moment you entered those cathedral doors (with no loading screen separating the two anymore), your eyes immediately caught onto the shrine built on top of the rotating door. Two pairs of stairs leading up to it.

You gaped at the shrine, grand and well-kept, but what caught even more of your attention was the sheer amount of offerings left out at the base below the shrine. There was so much food and random shiny objects, some of which looked more than what you were worth.

Your jaw hang open at the sight, and you noticed you started to get some odd stares. You fixed your face and donned a more neutral expression, looking on at the shrine curiously.

"Ah, first time in Mondstadt's cathedral?" said a soft and familiar voice.

You whipped your head around to face Barbara, her sparkling eyes fixed onto you.

You composed yourself - both at the scene in front of you and the fact you just met Barbara face-to-face - "Yeah, it is."

"You look so much like our beloved creator!" She exclaimed, "It must be such an honor to be blessed with their lovely face!"

"U-uhm..." You stuttered, sending her an awkward smile, "I suppose so."

Her eyes shifted and you felt a jolt of unease in your chest, sinking into your heart, "Sorry, I'm just not used to Mondstadt's customs. We practice things quite differently where I'm from."

"Oh! Sorry then," Barbara frowned, "I didn't mean any disrespect, I just wanted to make sure you weren't disrespecting our creator in any ways. I suppose in the end it didn't do any good."

You hummed non-committedly and gazed back upon the shrine. There was a statue of the supposed creator upon there and unconsciously you took steps towards it. As you gazed up at it, it was as though you were looking into a mirror.

The statue was an exact replica of you, in every way shape and form it was you.

"It truly is remarkable how alike you two are," Barbara smiled up at the statue, pure devotion in her eyes, "It was an honor to look upon you and see an image that so wonderously reflects our creator's." She smiled at you.

You nodded and she left with a wave. A few moments later you left the church.

*~

The problems in this perfect world arose when your stomach started to growl and you realized...

You had no mora.

"Goddamnit I'm having a Zhongli moment," You cursed the gods (specifically Venti and Zhongli) for not giving you mora when you arrived to Teyvat.

Although you didn't have to worry about that for long, oddly enough. When you were eyeing Good Hunters, a kind little lady approached you.

"E-excuse me," Her cute voice cracked and your eyes met with Noelle's, "Are you hungry? I could um-" Her eyes diverted away from yours but always seemed to come back to stare into your eyes, "I could make you something if you so wish."

You gasped, your face lighting up in a smile that reddened Noelle's cheeks, "Really? Oh! I'd love to try some of your Tea Break Pancakes- oh! Ah, nevermind. You don't have to." You waved her offer off, "I don't even have any mora on me."

"That's fine." She grinned, "Consider it... a gift to our creator. A celebration of how much you look like them."

"Ah," You couldn't help the surprised smile that tugged up at the corners of your lips, "That's- I mean I appreciate it but I'm sure there's much better uses you could use with your time-"

"Nonsense! I insist," Her resolve was as sturdy as the sword you'd given her, "A little treat of mine."

"I-" Your stomach interrupted any argument you were going to make, "Fine..." You sighed, "But I owe you okay? If you ever need anything just ask me."

She agreed and made you the meal, which you excitedly watched her make. It was so surreal watching Noelle make the pancakes instead of just pressing a couple buttons.

Even still she made those pancakes in record time, you were impressed.

"Thank you so much Noelle! Really, you're carrying Mondstadt on your shoulders." You giggled.

Her face flushed a bright red and she waved her hands dismissively, "Oh no no no, I don't do that much. I'm... not even a knight yet." She frowned.

"Well," You said in-between bites, "You do as much if not more than the knights do. Don't put yourself down just 'cause you're not official yet."

Your smile, a replica of the ones on the statue but brighter and more personal caused Noelle to feel nearly dizzy.

"You're far too kind... Oh! Dear, where are my manners?" She huffed, "What's your name?"

"Oh! It's (Name)." You held out your hand but she didn't take it immediately.

She tilted her head, her eyes narrowed in confusion, "Isn't that... the creator's name? Did your parents name you that?"

Your mind blanked. Why the hell does this creator person have my face and my name?

You chuckled, "They did."

Noelle hummed and nodded along, "It's a bit unusual but not like it's against the law or anything," She shrugged and took your hand, "It's nice to meet you (name). I'm Noelle, though it seems you already knew that..?"

You nodded, "Yeah, I've heard of you. You're the best maid in Mondstadt. Who knows, maybe the best maid in all of Teyvat." You chuckled as her face bloomed into color once more.

"Truly, you flatter me too much," She fanned her face in an attempt to get rid of the heat, "...have you really heard of me outside of Mondstadt."

Without hesitation, you nodded while biting into the pancake, "Of course!" You technically weren't lying. You'd heard of her outside of Mondstadt... and outside of Teyvat... in your world. So it was technically true.

She covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes lit up in wonder, and a soft giggle escaped her throat, "Aha, I'm so happy..."

Without thinking, you reached over and patted her head. She had stars in her eyes. "I'm glad," You said, "You deserve it."

*~

You and Noelle had talked throughout the entire day. She had often went to go and help people and you tried your best to help her as well. Finding stray cats, helping children find lost items or getting them down from high places, collecting and delivering items for people.

You did your best to nudge Noelle away from accepting every little thing that came her way, but majority of the time she'd end up helping the person. So you settled for helping lessen her load by helping her complete the tasks instead.

When night time finally rolled around Noelle finally bid you good night and you were hesitant to leave her because...

You had nowhere to stay.

The dark Mondstadt streets, only lit up by the few streetlights still lit by candles and night owls still awake inside their houses creeped you out.

Where would you stay? You couldn't stay outside for too long, it was freezing and you only had the clothes on your back.

Maybe you could sneak into Angel's Share and sleep in the rafters? That way you'd stay warm and they were open 24/7 you believed.

Maybe you should just tell someone you got transported here from another world. That's what the Traveler did and now they're a renowned hero with a teapot to live in...

Teapot... Teapot! If you could find the Teapot...

"Shit! Where did I last set it down..." You scrounged through your memory, praying it wasn't in the inventory. You had no clue how to access that or if you even could access it.

You recalled... teleporting to Windrise to grab some crystalflies and heal up... and opening up your teapot. That's where it is then. Or at least you hoped.

Even if it wasn't there, sleeping in the big Windrise tree didn't sound like a bad idea. So long as you didn't freeze to death.

With that in mind you set out to begin your walk to Windrise, sending a wave to Katheryne as you left. She wished you good luck which made your heart swell. Her eyes always seemed to know too much... but in this case it was quite comforting.

You also waved goodbye to the guards outside Mondstadt's gate, and they saluted with kind smiles.

You hummed, tiredly making your way across the bridge once more. What a lovely day in Mondstadt, you mused to yourself, humming the quiet nighttime tune.

*~

Your legs were jelly by the time you made it to Windrise, silently thanking the gods that you weren't attacked on the way there. Tiredly, you looked around the statue and the tree for any sign of your teapot and...

nothing. Absolutely nothing.

With a groan, you sat down at the base of the statue, burying your head in your hands, too tired to hold your head up on your own.

You just needed to shut your eyes for a moment...

*~

You blinked your eyes open as the sun glared at you. Squinting up, you noticed you were now laying at the base of the statue.

You paused as a melody filled your ears, close by and unfamiliar. You turned your head to see a bard - your bard - playing the lyre and humming a tune.

"Ah, you're finally awake." He grinned, "What were you doing sleeping outside by the statue?"

You groggily sat up, "Venti?" You groaned, "I was just... traveling and ended up falling asleep."

He hummed, "You know my name?"

Goddamnit-

You nodded, "Yes, you're quite the famous bard aren't you?" The excuse flew naturally off your tongue, it wasn't necessarily a lie either.

Venti giggled, his fingers idly plucking a tune, "Quite the charmer aren't you? Though, can't say you're entirely incorrect. I am the best bard in the world! Most famous though? I can't really say." He leaned in, his face nearly touching yours, "So, how do you know me hm? You just arrived to Mondstadt yesterday after all and I don't believe you ever caught my name or even saw me."

"...You were watching me?" You questioned, your eyes narrowed.

Venti faked an offended gasp, "You make me sound like a criminal! I was merely observing my surroundings. I saw you, an odd looking traveler, and had to observe you for a bit of time. Can't blame me for being a little curious." His grin was sly and it made you roll your eyes.

"Still a bit creepy if you ask me, especially for an apparently not-so-famous bard." You challenged him, your eyes sharp as they dug into him.

He shrugged, "I gotta watch over Mondstadt. I love the city with my life, you know. Now answer the question, how do you know me?" His eyes were so playful for such a scathing question.

You hummed, surprisingly calm given how wrong this could go, "How do you think I know you, bard?"

He giggled, "Asking me the questions now are you?" His fingers switched up and started playing a much more familiar tune. One he shouldn't know, "Perhaps you've been watching me for a long time now. And whenever I saw your eyes I just knew they were the same ones that had been watching me for countless months. Hm?"

Your eyes shot open, "How do you know that song?"

"I know every song," His teal eyes sparkled with mischief and glee, "Past present and future."

Your jaw slackened, but you couldn't help the grin that tugged at your lips.

"I suppose I wasn't aware of just how far your knowledge reached, O' Anemo Archon." You snickered, and jokingly bowed.

Venti giggled, his fingers stopping his playing so he could mockingly bow back, "And I suppose I wasn't aware of how stubborn you are, O' Great Creator."

"What?" Your playful nature halted in its tracks as you stared at Venti, dumbfounded.

He blinked, confused, "Huh?"

You shook your disbelief away with a shake of your head and a laugh, "Did you just call me Teyvat's God?" You chuckled, "Then should I call you your friend's name?"

A flash of hurt took over his eyes, he whined, "Huh? What do they have to do with this, your grace?"

"What?" Dread crawled into the back of your throat, "Cut it out Venti, don't joke like that."

"But I'm not joking, your grace. Did you- did you not know?" His eyes were wide and glassy, "I'm sorry..."

You blinked owlishly, "Wha- you're serious? I thought- I thought I just looked like them!"

"I thought that was your intention!" Venti cried, "I thought this was like- a test of loyalty or something!"

"No! What? Am I actually-" You couldn't force the words out as you stared Venti in the eyes, stunned.

"Y-yes!" He shouted, "You're the creator! I can sense it! So can the slimes and animals. Don't you see?" He pointed to the nearby birds, their gaze turned towards you, "They like you! The monsters don't attack you and this statue calls out to you! Don't you feel its warmth? It's probably why you didn't freeze last night."

You were silent as the information processed, "So- so wait!" You turned your body fully facing Venti, "That shrine in the cathedral... was for me?" You asked, bewildered.

He nodded, "Yeah! Did- did you really not know?"

Immediately you were wildly shaking your head, "No! I just- I dunno! I thought I was like the traveler or something that just got dropped off here one day."

"The traveler came here of their own free will, (Name)!" Venti sighed, "I just- You look exactly like them too!"

"Listen! Denial is a powerful think, okay!" You huffed.

"Fine, I get it." He rested his head on his hands, his eyes meeting yours, "So... are you gonna tell the others?"

"... Dunno." You shrugged, "What would happen if I did?"

"Well..." Venti tapped his finger against his face and used his other hand to hold up his pointer finger, "Zhongli would go batshit. He's got a whole log up his ass when it comes to you and how to 'properly worship you' bleh." Venti stuck his tongue out, "Then there's Baal, she'll probably also go insane over you. She's like a lost puppy." He held up a third finger, "Then there's Jean and the knights. I think they'd be... alright. If you told them they'd try and throw huge festivals for you and worship you. Oh, and the church would triple their worshipping for you, obviously."

You roughly sighed, "So... I won't be treated as a human is what you're saying."

"I mean- well- yeah." He frowned, "Don't worry, I get it if you don't wanna do a whole grand reveal. It's stressful. Too much work, y'know?"

You hummed in agreement, "The thing is..." You frowned, "We don't have any mora."

Venti scoffed, straightening his back with a proud grin, "Speak for yourself! I have a mora."

You snorted, "A mora."

"Hey, better than what you're doing," He took off his hat, "It's right in here-"

You both stared at the hat that was almost as empty as your souls.

"Okay well," Venti put his hat back on, "Nothing a little begging can't do. Not like I haven't played music for money before."

You stared at the ground hopelessly, "...so... how do you think Ningguang would react to me telling her I'm the creator?"

Venti snorted, "I like the way you think but... she'd be grand. I think she'd make you live in the Jade Chamber and give you every little thing you could ever want. She can keep a secret though I'll bet."

You hummed and stared at Venti, living a life as free as a bird. Even with the status of the Anemo Archon, he was as free as his people, and just as happy as them as well.

"Not really the life I wanna live... what about Childe?"

Venti shuddered, "I love you (Name), but no. He makes... quite a spectacle of things. And, well," Venti frowned, "He'd probably leave a few corpses at your doorstep."

"Ah," You grimaced, "Okay so... we're fucked."

"Ah ah ah," Venti waggled his finger comically, "Don't you remember what I said? I can sing for money, and I'm sure with you, the creator's look-alike right by my side helping me with my performance, we'd make double the money! I mean," His eyes were alight with mischievous glee, an expression on him you were coming to dread, "That Noelle girl yesterday had no problem giving you a free meal just cause you look like the creator! So I'm sure we'll pull in lots of cash!"

You frowned and then a lightbulb went off in your head, "Wait a minute," Venti raised a brow, intrigued, "If I'm the supposed creator or god of this world... then those offerings at the altars and shrines are meant for me... right?"

Venti nodded with a tilt of his head, "Yes? ...Oh... Oh!" His eyes lit up like Christmas lights, "You mean-?"

You grinned, "So that means that if I were to... let's say... take the items and sell them, it wouldn't be wrong right?"

Venti tilted his head back and laughed, "No, I suppose it wouldn't be, your grace."

Your grin was damn near evil, "Then I suppose we have our plan then."

Venti nodded, "I suppose we do!" He hopped up and grabbed your hand to help you up as well, "Though I think my singing idea was pretty good." He kicked his legs up like a child as you both made your way back to Mondstadt, "Who knows, I might even become the most famous bard in all of Teyvat with you by my side!"

You hummed, smiling fondly at the silly bard at your side, "Perhaps."

Meanwhile in the sidelines, Johnny is watching the drama unfold and is acting like a bigass simp and everyone else is like “DAMN” with their jaws dropped.

A/N: I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER!!! I am a literal piece of crap forgive me. I’m sorry. But I enjoyed writing this a lot and thank you for being so patient with me. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy reading 🥰

You were always the shy one in your family or friend group. Never necessarily having a mean word to say to anyone. Safe to say, you were the opposite of your hot headed boyfriend.

Johnny Lawrence and you were complete opposites; with him gearing up for a fight every time someone looked in his direction. Usually, you were always there to de-escalate almost any tough situation he got himself into. You were very easy going and some would say way too chill but there were a few things that you didn’t tolerate. Most of the time you would bottle things up as well. You’d let people push and push until you couldn’t handle it anymore. But you never broke; especially in front of others. No matter how aggravated or mad you got, you always had a smile on your face. Many of the boys at school would tease you for your constant ‘happy’ attitude but you would let it roll off your back. Of course, they wouldn’t tease you half as much with Johnny around. You never told him about the bullying either because there wasn’t any need to cause a fight for no reason, those boys were dumb.

Johnny had gotten into plenty of fights and sometimes when he would start to tease or bully someone you always scolded him. He knew that when you gave him a certain look you meant business and most of the time he would back down but there were other times you’d let him do his thing because the opposers definitely deserved it.

Even though the two of you were polar opposites somehow you two just clicked together even when you two first met in your freshman year Johnny approached you first as you were eating your lunch.

You look up from your plate and see the light blonde approach you and take a seat at the table across from you. You almost give him a perplexed look but he speaks first,

“Hey there.”

You smile, “Hello, Johnny.”

“I like your hair.”

You chuckle, “My hair? Thank you,” you reach up and touch your hair but you look back into his eyes and politely ask, “you came over here to compliment my hair, Johnny?”

Johnny nervously laughs, “I mean– no? I just…oh, I dunno.”

You can tell Johnny is getting extremely flustered with your unfaltering bright smile and ethereal demeanor, “You don’t know?”

He sighs a little but gets his courage back, “I just wanted to tell you that I thought you were pretty and was wondering if you would like to go out? Sometime?”

You were taken aback. I mean, you couldn’t believe that one of the school's biggest hotheads and social butterflies asked you out on a date.

“Me?”

Johnny nods his head nervously.

“Johnny Lawrence, are you yanking my chain?”

Johnny shakes his head, “What? No. Of course not! I’m serious, honestly.”

You, surprised, straighten your shoulders, “Okay, sure.”

Johnny adjusts himself in his seat, “Sure? As in yes?”

“As in yes, Johnny!” You exclaim.

Johnny tries to hide his excitement, “Solid! I’ll pick you up this evening?”

You nod your head, “Sounds good.”

You watch Johnny get up and run up to his friends and see them silently celebrate his friend and you look back down at your plate with slight embarrassment.

After that first date you and Johnny were an item and it definitely caught the attention of everyone at school. Curious on how much longer you and Johnny were gonna last especially with the personality differences; but everyone started to accept your relationship after your second month of dating. You and him were practically two peas in a pod. You totally balanced Johnny out and he helped you break out of your shell a bit.

You still kept your level head and sweetness and Johnny still remained the same just down a few notches on the anger issues.

Today was a normal day, just like any other day, you and Johnny were walking down the hallway holding hands and you could hear the other boys teasing you and Johnny just letting it go. You had told him that what they said didn’t mean anything and they were assholes so the two of you just walked on. You make it your locker and Johnny stands there with you making casual conversation telling you that he’s almost failing math class but he was rudely interrupted by Chad who walks up to you and closes your locker door by almost slamming it closed. Chad was the main asshole of the cult of his bullying friends. He was practically the same height as your boyfriend with dark brown hair and beady eyes.

Johnny practically puffs out his chest, “Dude, what the fuck?”

Chad scoffs, “Back off, worm!”

Johnny takes a step towards him but you stop him in his tracks with your arm, “Babe. It’s not worth it,” you look up at Johnny and see him back down.

You look back up at Chad and almost grimace, “What do you want?”

“Nothing, doll. Just came up to say ‘hello.’”

You feel a chill run down your spine, “Okay, hello,” you say quietly.

Chad leans up against the lockers, “So, I have a question.”

You almost roll your eyes but you refrain, “Your question is?”

Chad smirks, “Well, lately I’ve noticed how uptight you’ve been since you’ve been with, well, him,” his voice drops with faux disgust, “How about you drop this scrawny bitch-boy and hang out with me?”

You almost laughed in his face but again you held back as you always do.

You can sense Johnny’s anger at his statement and you glance at him and you see his jaw tense, “Back off.”

You clear your throat, “Is that all you had to say?”

Chad looks at you, “I’m serious, you know?” He steps closer to you and leans down slightly, “I mean, you’ve been bound up so tightly. Why don’t you let me, you know, loosen you up a bit, huh?”

You can feel that Johnny is about to lose his shit but for some reason he hasn’t yet.

“Excuse me?” You question.

“C’mon, babe. You know what I mean.”

You start to feel your anger rise. You had bottled up so much hatred for this guy for years. His relentless teasing and bullying was almost too much to bear. Now he’s asking, very creepily you might add, to have sex with you. You feel the boiling pot of anger start to bubble over the more you hear those words come out of his mouth. That was it. The last straw. You let your anger overflow and you broke.

You look back up at Chad and poke his chest aggressively, “Do. Not. Fucking. Say. That. To. Me.”

Johnny and Chad both go silent. Totally dumbfounded by your actions.

You continue, “I mean, seriously? What makes you think that I’d fuck you, huh?”

“I–”

“No, you sack of shit, let me finish. I mean, what ignorant thought made you believe that your constant bullying was a turn on? Especially from a total creep like you. Are you so beyond stupid that you just thought your ‘award winning’ personality was gonna get you what you wanted? Holy shit, I’ve never met a bigger asshole than you, truly. Not to mention fucking delusional on top of it. You think that I would want to screw someone who is probably gonna peak in highschool?”

You pause and take a breath but end with, “So do not stand there and act like you’re just so amazing because you’re too dense to realize that in reality you mean absolutely nothing to anyone here, you’re just a nuisance.”

You look away from him for a second to see half of the school surrounding you all in awe and even your boyfriend had joined the crowd with his jaw slack.

You sigh and straighten your shoulders, “Sorry everyone.”

You see Johnny start to clap and the rest join him clapping as well.

Chad loudly screams, “You’re such a bitch!” and storms away from you and the crowd.

Johnny yells, “Yeah, get out of here you pussy!”

Everyone else starts to cheer and clap even more for you. You didn’t like Chad one bit but there was a part of you that felt bad about what you said. You feel Johnny snake his arms around and pull you into a hug as he almost picks you up.

“Babe. I cannot believe you just did that! That might’ve been the hottest thing I have ever seen.”

You chuckle, “Yeah, wow,” you were completely speechless with your own actions. You had no idea what to say to anyone that was standing there, especially your own boyfriend. Everyone starts to disperse from each other leaving you and Johnny standing there. You look up at your boyfriend as he stares at you with literal heart eyes.

“Have I ever told you that I think I might love you, Y/N?”

Your eyes grow wide, “Wait, seriously?”

Johnny chuckles, “Yes. Seriously!”

You laugh, “I think I love you too, Johnny Lawrence.”

You and Johnny share a kiss together and start walking down the hallway to class. You all passed Chad and his cult of bros and all you two heard was complete silence from them.

Johnny whispers, “I think you showed him, babe!”

You feel Johnny squeeze your hand and you say, “Finally. I think I helped him grow a brain,” you chuckle.

DAY 02 ; mornings & meetings

Fixing his hair in the mirror for the nth time in the morning, he pressed his hands on his clothes to remove any invisible creases that seemed to appear in his mind.

Today, he was supposed to look perfect.

He and [Name] were going to meet at the library after breakfast for a date.

Could he call it a date?

They were meeting there since they shared a subject together and an important exam was coming up so they decided to meet up.

Checking his image in the mirror for the last time he opened the door and left the room as he grabbed the bag which was placed on the desk.

Ajax cheerfully bounced down the stairs and hummed a few songs signifying his good mood causing his siblings to look at him.

He said nothing of it when they asked him what caused his good mood this early in the morning but that didn't stop them from sneaking glances at him.

Ajax was shaking with excitement, he had been like this since morning.

His sister Tonia looked at him with a weird look before a grin took her place.

"You're in love!" She exclaimed and clapped her hands together.

Gasps could be heard by his siblings who were shocked to find out their brother fell in love with someone.

"Wha-" He spluttered.

The ginger shook his hands in front of him and almost tripped over his legs.

"It's so obvious, dear." His father said as he came out of the kitchen with a plate and this caused his mother to laugh at the flushed face of her son.

"It's not obvious!" He yelped before he hesitantly glanced at them, "Is it...?"

"With the way your acting I hardly believe anyone would be fooled by you," His mother replied.

Placing several plates on the table, she ushered him to sit.

Ajax complied and sat on the chair.

"So," His father began and gave a sly smile to his son.

"Who's the lucky girl?"

Ajax choked slightly and fisted his chest in order to smoothen out his breaths.

"Girl??"

"Oh."

Silence took place on the table before his father cleared his throat.

"Or a boy!"

"It could be any gender!" His mother chimed in to assure their son, "As long as you love the person, we're happy!"

"Yeah! I shall give you expert love advice!" Teucer puffed his chest up as he nodded his head along with his other siblings.

"Well," The blue-eyed ginger twiddled his thumbs in anxiety and took the courage to look up at them.

"I'm going to meet him today-"

"A date!"

"And you didn't tell us?"

"Who agreed to go on a date with you?"

"Hey, that's a mean thing to say to your older brother!"

Soon, laughter took place at the table as everyone enjoyed their breakfast together.

Ajax truly felt happy to have a family like them.

People who accepted him for who he was and love him without an ounce of doubt.

And he too loved them in return.

Checking the time on his phone Ajax bounced his legs in nervousness.

He arrived a bit too early on the spot they agreed to meet before they would head to the library later but what could he do?

The infamous Lawrence had him completely wrapped around his finger without putting much effort.

To be fair, he willingly wrapped himself around the finger, he was a simp according to Rosalyne but he didn't care.

Just as he was about to get lost in his thoughts, he heard a familiar voice call him out and he turned back with a small grin on his face.

"Ajax."

"[Name]!"

He went in for a hug and when he felt the warmth of the body around him, the ginger realised what he had done.

Just as he was about to pull away, firm hands pulled him against him.

"Well, hello to you too."

"Y-Yeah, Hiii!" Ajax chuckled lightly as he clenched his fists.

"You arrived rather early," [Name] said as he leaned away from the hug. "I hope you weren't waiting for too long,"

The ginger wanted to whine the moment the other leaned away but reframed from doing so, instead he opted to ruffle his hair with a grin on his face.

"Haha, you could say I was too excited!"

"Is that so?" [Name] beamed lightly, "I was excited to meet you too."

"!!!"

Ajax was ready to melt in a puddle of water right there and there.

No wonder, the blue-haired male was one of the most popular guys in their college and everyone flocked around him.

Though he already experienced this all, he couldn't help but blush and feel his heartbeat grow faster and faster.

And this was all [Name]'s fault!

"What are you thinking?"

"N-Nothing!" Ajax looked away with a silly look on his face, "Let's get going!"

"Yeah," The other boy nodded as they both moved forward towards their destination while conversing with each other.

"After studying for the chapter second and third, let's head to a cafe," [Name] suggested as stopped by the zebra crossing.

"Oh sure, which cafe?"

"Angel's share?" [Name] answered, "It's owned by Diluc, he started it for fun a while back and it's thriving."

Ajax narrowed his eyes a little at the thought of the red-haired male who he wasn't in the best relationship with.

They merely tolerated each other.

Diluc because he felt it was beneath him to act petty while the other was cordial to the other since he was a certain someone's best friend.

"You both really don't like each other now do you?" [Name] smirked at the other.

He didn't need to glance at the other to know that the other had stiffened a little when he heard his sentence, instead he continued waiting for the traffic lights to turn green so they could move.

"What makes you think that...?" He paused before replying.

"It's pretty obvious with the way you utter colourful sentences at each other every chance you get and with how you glare at each other."

"You don't have to hide it from me, you know?" [Name] teased lightly.

"I wasn't hiding-"

"You take things way too seriously," The taller one sighed and then his golden eyes flickered towards the signal as the light turned green.

"Wha-" The ginger couldn't continue his sentence because ━

[Name] grabbed the other's hand in his own and they stepped forward to cross the road.

Ajax could only let the other pull him forward too stunned to say anything more.

'You are so unfair...'

But there was a smile present on his face.

━ This is my first time referring to the reader as [Name] / he/him instead of you, so I hope it's not too awkward.

━ I’m sorry but I mostly update on wattpad so updates on this platform are inconsistent.

hello hello! how are you today :)

as a certified simp and ballet dancer can i request god!darling teaching some members of the cult to dance ballet with them (there’s just something so romantic about a classic pas de deux (a duet between two dancers, usually the leads/love interests in ballet)

any characters you would like :D

thank you :)

Dancer... ballet... Wow.

Ballet has always seemed to me something... magical and painful at the same time, so I am even more delighted!

So, I hope I can handle this, because I am very far from ballet, heh.

Xiao: Making him dance with you was very... very difficult. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't mind at all, but the only dance he knows is the dances of death on the battlefield, so it's hard for him to understand something as sublime as ballet. If you want and are persistent - more precisely, ask a couple of times - he will agree, but he will be extremely awkward and embarrassed by such actions. When will he be able to dance with you, and you will tell him the meaning of this dance... Prepare the water, he will now burn out with embarrassment!

"Dancing with you... not bad, Your Highness. Huh? This dance? ... Y-you mean that-?!"

Eula: The number one dance ace in Teyvat, so her training will not be too difficult - as a member of the Lawrence clan, she has been taught many dances. She knows something akin to ballet, so she will dance with you without question, letting you lead. Of course, you should set an example, and it will be one of the best dances that you will get in this world. Once she learns the meaning of the dance, she will try to keep her cool, thinking that you just decided to teach her something. She will not attach much importance, although the crimson cheeks give her away.

"You are a wonderful teacher, Your Grace. Wait... could this dance in your world be used as a declaration of love? What unusual traditions are there in your world..."

Ayaka: As we know, she can in the semblance of ballet, although not what you know, but she is as close to him as possible. True, she is not used to dancing in public, and it takes a lot of work for her to perform in front of someone. With you the same situation - she will blush and stumble, if you try to dance with her, and it will take some time for her to calm down and collect her thoughts. The dance with her, as well as with Eula, will be wonderful. And here's how she finds out the meaning... Even for a second it seemed to you that she had a fever - she blushed so much. Your status did not give her to run away from you, but she will be in prostration for some time.

"To dance with Their Highness... Something like that... O Archons, how embarrassing!"
