I love Haein's expressions so much in this hug. It's so much of 'I was holding up fine on my own but god does it feel good to be hugged supportively by my husband.' She's like a child giving in to the comfort of an adult after a nightmare. This hug is so sweet. She just gives in to him. She doesn't know what the future holds, she's warmed by his constant, desperate claims that she won't die, she's relieved that she's confessed her feelings to him but she's still scared...and so she completely gives in to him.

There's pain and there's longing and there's love and the sweetest joy of being held by the man she loves the most and who loves her enough to make threats rather than prayers all night long.

Also kinda related to my last post but. When I went to get my orthopedic consultation it was in this HUGE medical building with a whole ass physical therapy division. I can’t really describe what I felt when I walked into the gym and saw all these people working with specialists to help train their muscles or to walk again or to strengthen parts of their bodies that had undergone trauma from an accident or whatever else. It was kinda sad but also very hopeful to see?? Idk I just felt really emotional seeing that nfjkandvnj

I feel so bad for zephyr, what are some of her happiest memories? Would it be first meeting the members of her local group? I assume they would be built after her, was she excited about them being built or was she not informed at all?

she wouldn't be very... Present. most likely hadn't managed to be there for every Iterator when they first came online. she is very removed from most of her group because she's unable to stick in the chats for too long with all the damage and her endless attempts to conserve herself as much as possible, so her interactions with others outside of the Anemoi (and this one guy called Orion's Pathway) are extremely limited

Boreas, though, ever the life-saver, updates her on any new Iterator projects being build, how are the already existing ones doing- see she is kind of hard to cheer up and as a rule she never really laughs, but oh hearing about successes of others always manages to make her happy. that has been a thing for her since day one!

so Boreas would make a list of the Eo group's achievements with Euros and Orion's help and he'd read them out for her during their routine calls. those calls are probably one of her happiest memories, since she got so much serotonin and motivation out of hearing about her family (n also just in general- their start might've been rocky but Zeph n B really really love each other [platonically ofc])

they might not Know her, only be aware that their senior is called Abet Zephyr and her appearances are strangely rare, but she loves them all. if she hadn't, it wouldn't be called Mission Self-preservation. it'd be way more revenge focused. her number one priority is the safety of her family even if she doesn't know them personally. she puts them above her anger, physical and emotional trauma cuz she just fuckin loves them that much

her other happy memories include some stuff with Sparrows! after Zephyr allows her opinion about the Ancients develop, she finds herself glad whenever Sparrows would show up to do some more repairs and spend some time with the old humidifier. jgklsdmclk just like with a grandma, Sparrows would show her some stuff on her phone/Mechanic's watch and Zeph would be confused about it but she gets to spend the time with someone she likes so it's okay

along with Euros on a call the three of them would sing folk songs from Sparrows' home with Boreas usually listening in, very rarely joining in

Zephyr wasn't given overseers until Sparrows showed up for the first time, too, so when she synced with the eyes and took a peak outside for the first time in her life, that was... that stuck with her as a strong memory, too. can't exactly say it was a Happy memory, but only cuz there was so much happening in her emotionally in that moment that simplifying it to a singular one wouldn't really represent it right

here's her lighting up while Boreas tells her about positive recent events of the group

her antennas are broken- that's why they are always down like that- but Dammit she is Happy we Gotta wiggle 'em at least a wee bit

I find Cabadath’s Soul Idol, and little do I know Cabadath positions his quad-scythe like a baseball bat, readying to end me right as I touch it.

Me: *picks it up with the softest blanket I own, cradling it like a baby in my arms and brings it inside my warm house* “I think you’ve been suffering long enough, dear Prince.” *places it it my house, puts nice smelling flowers around it, gives it a gentle kiss every morning and night, talks to like a dear friend, holds it in my arms when watching a movie or playing a video game, etc. overall just really kind, sweat, and compassionate towards it, which is essentially towards Cabadath*

A very confused Cabadath:

do you think part of the reason diluc still struggles with his resentment towards kaeya is because kaeya is more like what crepus wished diluc to be? crepus was so proud of diluc for his accomplishments as a knight and lived his dream through him as well and we know how much crepus' approval meant for diluc, more than any title or doing. i sometimes wonder if diluc feels hurt knowing that kaeya gets to live the equivalent to his past life as a knight as if nothing happened when he had to make sacrifices for his own peace of mind and sense of justice. i wonder if that's what pains him the most, not the fact kaeya ommited the truth about his past for so many years but having felt like he was the only one who cared to do something regarding his father's death and who showed any sense of uprightness when confronted with the knights' request to cover their mistake and negligence. i always think about how diluc might have felt like everything was a lie and his sense of betrayal. but maybe that didn't matter as much as having the support of his brother and someone he could share his pain with would have mattered. maybe the worst thing wasn't what kaeya did but what he didn't do; maybe it was never about his actions but the lack thereof.

i wish i’d kept pushing the point (<- vagueposting). im so tired i’m hitting a wall. but why is the answer to feeling bottomlessly lonely just to love myself and be loved by myself? isn’t that only more loneliness?

What I need..are looong hugs...I'm talking like several minutes long. The ones where you hold me tight for so long that I start to cry and you don't let go of me until I calm down. That's what I need.

Cause those short 1sec hugs only make my pain worse. They do nothing but intensify my deepest fears - you give me a taste of what it feels like to have you near and then you disappear - meaning i have to experience that feeling of loss and being left over and over again.
