NAGANOHARA YOIMIYA!!!

(this gif of her is so pretty) Srry if this doesn’t make a lot of sense lore wise I’m super behind on genshin lore because i suck at the game lol.

You and Yoimiya are pretty similar. You both love to express yourselves and do whatever you can to help others. You’re also able to hold a conversation and keep up with her teasing banter.

You guys met when your traveling theater group came to Inazuma to put on a show for this year’s summer festival on the request of the of the Yashiro comission. Your troupe had been becoming quite popular lately and since the boarders were reopened they thought it was the perfect opportunity.

As the writer director, and narrator of the show (i considered making you lead actress too but figured that’d probably be a bit much) you requested some pyrotechnics of your show (a reenactment of some archon battle) for special effects. Of course who better go ask then “The Queen of the Summer Festival” herself.

When you first came to her shop to put in the request it was love at first sight. After a bit of awkward nervousness you guys started talking while she took down your order. There was also plenty of flirty banter on her end (I think Yoimiya could be awkward but flirtatious if she wanted to be). After business was done she offered to show you around Inazuma and asked you out for lunch. You said yes.

You two walked around the festival together. She took you to all the best sights, you tasted all the amazing food, and you guys got matching yakatas (her face turned as red as her pyro vision when she saw you in it). It was the best day of both of your lives. Last but not least she took you to watch the fire works with her. The mood was perfect. So perfect in fact that…you two had your first kiss.

After the show was over you, although dejectedly, reminded her that you should get ready for the show. So she took you back and before you two parted way you offered her front row tickets. She promised she’d be watching and cheering you on (even if you weren’t technically on stage).

The play was mesmerizing. She was on the edge of her seat the whole time even though she knew the story by heart. The way you described the scene and told the story captivated her entire attention. After the show she ran back stage and hugged you showering you in compliments.

The next day Yoimiya woke up with a spring in her step. She was so excited to see you, she was gonna officially ask you to be her girlfriend. However, when she went to where the traveling theater caravan was staying, she was startled to find out it was gone. She went to Ayato himself to ask about what happened. He told her that since it was the last day of the festival the theater had left early that morning.

Yoimiya was devastated. You had left without saying so much as a goodbye. No one in all of Inazuma had ever seen Yoimiya so sad, so broken. She had lost her glow, her spark, her fire. Yoimiya went to the spot where you saw the fire works together and she cried. She cried for hours.

When she was finally all out of tears she went home. She opened the door and called out to her father, but there was no response. She hear laughter from the kitchen. Did her dad have a guest over. She followed the sound into the kitchen and her eyes widened. There you stood as beautiful as the day you met in your yukata having tea with her father. You turned to her, smiled and welcomed her home, but she tackled you in a hug before you could finish your sentence.

After she had calmed down you had explained the situation. Your theater trope had in fact left Inazuma, but you had decided to stay behind and set up permanent residence so you could learn more traditional Inazuman performance art (and so you could be closer to her. Yoimiya was so happy with the news and that night you stayed over for a laughter filled dinner that endes up with you two cuddling and now in an official relationship.

Hey again sorry this took so long, but is still kinda short. A lot of things happened in the last two weeks that just stole all my motivation and creative juice I wanted to have this done Wednesday or two Wednesdays ago i don’t remember i have no concept of time. But anyway I hope you enjoyed it.

Runners Up: Keqing, Ganyu, Xiangling, Thoma, Xingyan, Itto, Childe, Venti

9/26/21

8:31am Woke up after a couple dreams. I’m going to watch church from home this morning, I’m still not ready to go in person. Feeling a little anxious about just watching online but still looking forward to it. I did the quick breathing exercise through Headspace this morning and it was alright. I also watched the beginning of the video called the wake up and it was about mindfully using technology. The action I made after watching was to turn off notifications for some apps, like Facebook. I’ll look forward to their Sunday Scaries podcast today.

8:38am I’ve been enjoying and seeing benefits from breathing exercises. I think it helps me relax and practice mindfulness. Mindfulness can help me manage stress and anxiety and learn self awareness about how I think. I’m learning to study how it feels to breathe. I might come back to thinking about this

8:43 am going to turn on Sirius XMU. Tenderness by Jay Som was on when I turned on the radio. I find this radio station to be nice to listen to because the DJs are chill and interesting and know their music. Don’t mean to turn this into an ad, but it’s ok, this is just a journal entry. Calling this an ad is a bit excessive, just noting that I found a radio station I like.

8:50am Kind of looking forward to the day. Momentarily felt a bit stressed out. Journaling does help. I kind of want to learn more about the benefits of journaling so I can better make use of the practice. I currently mainly use it to catalog my thoughts, but it would be nice to dig deeper into stuff and maybe find some material for art.

8:55am I can tell I’m conscious that I’ll be posting this online. I kind of wish that wasn’t the case and I could just share my thoughts but it’s ok, it’s a learning experience to share like this. Anyway, it’s time to get set up for church online.

12:05pm Ate some leftover pizza this noon, I was hungry but now I feel better. Bible class after church should be interesting this year, about the book of Revelation. I’ll be interested to learn about it.

Started listening to XMU again just now, a good Sunday activity. I’m going to try reading Refuse by Julian Randall. I’ve been looking forward to reading it but expect it to be kind of intense. Thinking about going to get a coffee in Minneapolis before the Vikings game. We’ll see what happens, I have chores to do too.

12:44pm Read a few poems from the beginning of the book. I put it down and am still listening to the radio. Clairo is on, the song Sophia. It’s kind of an intense book and I wasn’t really feeling affected by it very fully, but maybe I don’t have to in the first reading. Yeah, I really like listening to the radio as a Sunday activity, I find it relaxing. Texting my mom now. She’s preparing for teachers conference today and going to watch the Vikings play. She reminded me of exercise and going to the gym. That would be a good self-care practice too. Maybe I’ll go for a walk. I think I’ve decided I’ll go into Minneapolis for that coffee before the game. Now listening to Rae Street by Courtney Barnett. I like the song.

3:55pm watching the Vikings game and it’s on commercial. I did end up getting coffee in Minneapolis. Feeling a little tired. I should do some chores while I watch.

7:23pm While watching the game, I did a few chores which was productive. I also went on my phone during the game and explored the Headspace app. One thing I did was learn about chronotypes. It is defined in your DNA and determines your best schedule for productivity throughout the day. I am a bear which is the most common of four types. I could still learn more about what it actually means. It is mainly related to a sleeping and eating schedule. I’ll get the name of the guy who talked about this in a book I haven’t read called the Power of When. The guy is Dr. Michael Breus for what it’s worth. Kind of interesting to me. Related is my experience trying to be more mindful about how I have settings in my phone. I took off notifications for a few apps including Facebook which has been nice. I haven’t cared about Facebook alerts in quite a while. Related to Headspace, I also listened to the Sunday Scaries podcast episode from today. It’s a short podcast with a short breathing exercise and helpful tips for the coming week. This time was an introduction basically to the work I’ve been doing using the app for working through anxiety. It’s just the start, but it’s encouraging to think about how far I’ve come in that Headspace program. I still have a ways to go to get mindfulness to help even more with anxiety, and using breathing exercises as well.

One other thing I did during the game was start shopping for a car which is not a task I enjoy really. It’ll be fun to update my ride lol but also used car prices have risen and it’s uncertain if they’ll go back down. I’ll try to keep looking regularly for several weeks.

Listening to the radio again while journaling. That thought interrupted my line of thinking about the Headspace app, and I’m trying to navigate how much of this journaling will be stream of consciousness. Sometimes my thoughts can get somewhat scatterbrained which isn’t helpful for a blog. Normally in my private journal I let the thoughts be scatterbrained because that is true stream of consciousness and it’s fun to see how the stream of consciousness works. I think I’ll experiment with and without editing related thoughts together in different posts and see what feels better. I found the need to organize placement of topics here a bit, while maintaining integrity of the writing for the most part.

Lying in my bed rn and journaling on my phone. That’s my normal setup. This song by PJ Harvey is kind of hot lol. It’s called Rid of Me. Self conscious that I’m basically an ad for this radio station but also the songs in this blog post could be a decent playlist so there’s that. On that note I’m excited to listen to the new collaborative album between Sufjan Stevens and Angelo de Augustine. I like what I’ve heard by way of introduction so far.

I went for a walk after the Vikings’ win. It was nice getting outside. I momentarily felt anxious about the coming week, but remembered to return my focus to the present moment which helped. It is now 8:00 so I’ve been at this a while.

8:50 My phone died so I took the opportunity to watch CNBC Street Signs (Asia) and fold clothes, I was surprised by my energy to do a chore. After I finished that, I realized it wouldn’t take long to clean the bathroom so I did most of that quickly too. Quite pleased I could get those things done. I also got laundry done today too, so pretty productive. Cleaning your space can be part of self care, so it’s good to do that. Exercise is part of it as well, so it’s good I got a walk.

9:02pm I should do the next Headspace exercise. They have been relaxing this past week.

9:24pm I finished the tenth and last session in part two of the course on managing anxiety. I do feel a sense of accomplishment even though it took a while to get through it. I was consistent in the last week or so and the sessions went well. I’m looking forward to the next ten sessions. They’ll talk about framing the exercise to get the most out of it.I think I’m going to leave it here and watch some of the Circle on Netflix which is a show that makes me laugh. I didn’t do much more with art/poetry today but I managed to stay in the present moment pretty well and not worry about the coming week. I hope any readers have a good night and start to the week.

The History of Author & Deadpool

Hia Awesome Adventurers! So now that Deadpool is back to his schemes in my WoW novels, I decided to post some of our old confrontations in one of my old...disgraceful Marvel Fanfics. Where the Avengers adopted a turtle called Bromine and Iron Man’s and Black Widow’s (not romantically involved) adopted daughter, Catwoman, goes off with Deadpool and Quicksilver into space. Needless to say, the best thing from this novel were the Author’s Notes. Please enjoy the weirdness.

Deadpool: Look at that majestic red man on the cover of that book c,: just takes your breath away

Professor X: ...

Wade is Peetie's Besty: What?
