HELLO PAIMON!! coming to you because it's a new day for me and i need to complain to someone BAD because i am stuck Badly on my opq fic. Because yes lucie's death makes me want to kill someone else in turn. but it also was so significant and had such massive ramifications on all the other characters, especially benito's (who's just. an Incredible character) that i do not know what to do. (like would benito even have his arc without it?? i don't know...) Cause like i still want to give everyone their character development but i think i might have to pull something out of my ass to do that. like im Going to finish the fic im just stuck BAD rn for this reason and several others 😭

NO NEED TO GIVE ANY INPUT BTW IF YOU DON'T WANNA i just wanted to complain 💔 ...... hope you've been doing good and had a good day so far :D!!

NO CAUSE I GET IT Lucie's death is basically the catalyst for the most dramatic character development for Benito cause like on the first u can only see bits of his development the more he interacts with everyone like on the part where jeffrey nearly dies. LIKE IT IS SO INTEGRAL!! Seeing lucie sacrifice herself for emi as an ultimate act of selflesness and care and dying in such a brutal tragic way made him fucking BREAKDOWN LIKE HE'S ACTUALLT GOING TO STUDY MEDICINE NOW BECAUSE OF THEM HE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO TRY HE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE CARE OF EMI. Without that influence, without that catalyst its really hard to see him be as selfless as he was at the end.

CALLI IM SORRY I FEEL LIKE THISLL JSUT MAKE IT WORSE NOW I ALSO DOMT HAVE AN ANSWER LMAOOO

hello I have an ask for traveler’s little helper what if LH has a food allergy and forgot to mention it and some of the boys (Subaru bois + Ather & Paimon )were witness to a severe allergic reaction.

Hello! Sorry that it took so long T_T I hope you'll still enjoy this! >.< Tbh I don't have allergy to anything so sorry if something is not correct m(_ _)m ---- You didn’t know how this happened. It started as a normal day, doing commissions in Sumeru with Aether and this time Cyno was the one who had time to help you both. When you finished and Aether approached Katheryne to get payment, Cyno invited you for dinner. Of course you didn’t get it that Cyno wanted to eat dinner with ONLY YOU, you thought he wanted to spend more time with your whole group. And surprise, surprise. The rest of Sumeru boys invited themselves to this dinner. Cyno is not even sure how they knew about it, he was paying attention to his surroundings, making sure nobody else will hear about his plans and yet, here they are. You didn’t complain, as you said “the more the merrier!” Meanwhile Tighnari gave his friend the look that said ‘Nice try’, Kaveh was the one who was asking how your day went, Alhaitham sat in silence, waiting for food and listening to your conversation with Kaveh. Wanderer sat in silence too, from time to time bickering with Paimon, Aether looked tired, for sure he just wanted to relax with you in Teapot. You couldn’t see it from Cyno’s face but he was disappointed that again, he couldn’t spend some alone time with you.

After a while many dishes were brought to your group table. Paimon and you were excited to try some of them that you didn’t eat before. But after taking some bites you started to feel unwell. Not only you didn’t realize the dish had something you have an allergy to, you never mentioned it to even Aether and Paimon. The reason is that you thought that in this world your allergies won’t act up at all and not only that, to this day it seems you luckily avoided anything that you’re allergic to.

You started to have trouble with breathing and feel dizzy. Tighnari was the one who reacted first. For a moment he wondered if there was poison in food but looking more at you he understood it was a severe allergic reaction. He laid you down on the floor and searched in his little bag if he had anything right now that can help you. Paimon was panicking, asking “What happened to her?! Will she be alright?!” Aether was panicking too, crouching by your side and looked scared, not understanding what’s going on. Alhaitham and Cyno asked Tighnari what’s going on. While Kaveh asked what they should do to help you.  Tighnari asked them to make space for you and explained that you have an allergic reaction. He tsked when realizing he doesn’t have anything to help you. -“ We need to inject her with adrenaline! We shouldn’t move her in this state, so someone has to go to hospital-“ before he could finish sentence, Wanderer already left the restaurant and went to hospital. Tighnari was monitoring your condition while Kaveh was trying to calm down both Paimon and Aether (and himself), Alhaitham and Cyno keep people from coming to see what’s going on while the whole group waited for Wanderer.

They didn’t wait too long for Wanderer to come back. Tighnari applicated the adrenaline to you while others waited, some more nervous than others. When you could breathe normally and felt better, the boys would give you only one minute before they started scolding you for not saying something important like this earlier. -”How could you forget to tell us about your allergy?!” said Tighnari flicking your forehead. -”Yeah! We traveled for so long together and you didn’t say a thing about it?!” shouted Paimon. -”What if Tighnari wasn’t here?! We wouldn’t be able to help you!” said Aether, very angry at you. -”(Y/n), you shouldn’t hide things like this from us.” said Cyno, even if he sounded calm you could see disappointment in his eyes. -”But-” you were interrupted. -”They are right!! Do you think we want to see you suffer like this?!” Kaveh raised his voice a bit. -”But I-”  you were interrupted again. -”Hmpf, it seems you can’t take care of yourself, so tell us what you're allergic to, now.” said Wanderer with crossed arms. -”Even if nothing happens to you in the end, I assume it’s still not a pleasant experience for you. It’s better to know in the future what to avoid to order, than making fuss in restaurants.” said Alhaitham. Food got cold, but Paimon didn’t mind. After you told them what you are allergic to, they ordered new dishes. You hoped that you could just enjoy food now but not really. From time to time you could hear complaints about how careless you are. You got a bit annoyed but you nodded to them and promised that you will be more careful in future. After all, you know they just worried about your well-being. From this day the boys started to pay even more attention to you and your health.

I don’t know how many people this is going to reach, but I’m curious about something:

[radi0activesmile]

@themosthatedbeingg asked: A flock of rubber ducks appears suddenly with a chorus of ominous quacks and leaves behind a Vinyl records of 1920’s Jazz music and one duck shaped furby in Alastor’s room before leaving

He should have expected this.

Operative word being should. And yet. He didn't.

Still, the ducks have him snickering, and when they vanish, he's quick to pick up the duck-shaped Furby. With an amused grin, he sets the little creature beside his control panel and picks up the record. Hm. He'll have to give this a listen tonight.

A snap of his fingers summons a piece of parchment and an old fountain pen, on which he quickly jots down a thank you note (yes, he's a murderous, sadistic, manipulative Overlord, but that's no reason not to be polite.)

Votre Majesté, Thank you for the additions to my collections! I'll keep my new feathered friend in the radio tower until I find room for him on my organ. I will give the new record a listen tonight.

- Alastor

Sealed in an envelope, a snap of his fingers teleports the letter to Lucifer.

Do not bully the Paimon. Or at the very least, bully her too much. Bully her with love, not hate. Always remember to hug your Paimon!

Oh, another interesting fact about owls is that they, similarly to some other raptors, have claws that need a lot of force applied to them to release their prey. So if owl holds onto something, it's not going anywhere unless owl decides to let it go �� bird anon

Owl facts continued, courtesy of the lovely bird anon.

I knew this, but you bringing it up is making me think of the various owlish demons of the Hellaverse grabbing things and not letting go.

Husk (if we follow along with the owl-winged Husk theory), Lilith (if we count her association with screech owls), Stolas, Octavia, the rest of the currently recognized Goetia.

In particular, I’m imagining like, baby Stolas or baby Via latching onto something and not letting go. And Paimon or Stella shaking them or Stolas trying to reason with baby Via when she’s to little to understand and just. My heart.

Paranormal creatures hate each other! So the fetus jar was an infected but like as a fetus and it was to probably be used as a distraction to nidere or as a way for the players to figure out that the Nidere hated the infected so they would connect the dots or something.

Ooohhhhhh that makes sense, i guess they just never tried that and connected the dots lol, ty anon!

The WHB devil/angel/human boys with an MC whose personality is similar to Eiden’s from Nu: Carnival

Okay this is going to be a long one.

Now, from my knowledge of Eiden's personality. He loves teasing (shown with Edmond and Dante and maybe Quincy though he always lose with him), And be sweet, (With Blade, Garu/Karu and Yakumo), and Knows them while (Kuya... at times XD) and Horny. Eiden is a person that knows what his clan (Partners) need or is dealing with.

So I'm going to spilt the WHB boys by how MC would act with them.

I might do a part 2 with the other characters I didn't do here (I'm drawing a blank cause I want to make them different from each other.)

Teasing

Dantalian- Oh boy, this little boy loves getting angry and just throw himself in danger, so what better way for MC to keep him from his suicidal path is teasing him. Instead looking down at him for wearing the school boy uniform, MC calls him cute. That got him all flustered.

Stolas- Another Angry boy. But he's is as obvious cause he just wants to be king (Insert Lion King song XD) When Stolas start ranting, MC listens, and when there's a flaw in his reasoning MC smile and say something on the line "Do you really thing that they'll take you seriously if you do that" And that's how the two go back and forth, with MC have this smug grin on their face.

Bimet- MC can't not with his self-importance attitude, when he start talking about his job and how Mammon relays on him. But soon turned "Me talk" MC has this blank start, and when Bimet Notice he calls them out and MC does is act dumb, in the back of their mind they can just walk circle around Bimet.

Leraye- He mention that he doesn't miss and MC know it. So when MC ask for him to teach them some tips to have as good of a accuracy as he does, MC can see him huff his chest proudly. But Leraye guide MC, him leaning from behind, both hands are over MC's with they are holding his sniper. MC seductively ask Leraye if their doing it right and he get's all flustered within a second and BOOM! MC pulls the trigger, cause Leraye to be hot and bothered. and that want MC wanted. And Leraye tries to keep his composure.

Sweet/Being a softy

Eligos- Good boy? He is a Good boy. When he returns from a battle, he immediately goes to MC. Why? cause he knows that he'll get all the praise and head pats he wants from them. MC sees him and he tells them all the things he did. MC's hearts melt with how adorable Eligos is. Additional cuteness, if he as if he lay his head onto MC's lap while they stroke his head. MC can't say no to him.

Paimon- Well Paimon just love chilling with MC and vice versa. Its either they talk about their interest and Paimon loves styling MC (either messy like putting sticker on them or love seeing MC in the clothes he choose for them) And MC love every moment of.

Bael- Give this man a hug, MC they might not say it but they know that Bael is a bit conflicted with his current situation, MC feeling sorry for him. So whenever they meet MC talks to him or just hangs out.

Knows them well

Sitri- As being Satan's right hand, Sitri at times stress (either having to give Satan update about the region and the other nobles or dealing with the other nobles antics) So that's when MC comes in, MC ask him but he won't say anything, but they know by just seeing how is his, they immediately knows what to do. subtly they suggest having tea and just talking.

Gusion- If MC is good at math, Gusion would put them into the test with how good their math skills are, but increasing the difficulty every time. And MC as stubborn and determine they are proves that they can do it. You might see a fade blush on Gusion cheek.

This is so far I can write for now, but again I want to do the others, but my writing juices is almost dried up XD

[ddarker-dreams]

pspspsps hey dori has always kinda icked me but I could never really put into words why. why do you, personally, dislike her

alright so. hopefully here isn't a secret dori fan society that doxes me and eggs my house, but i think personality wise, she falls flat. now i'm not looking for the depth of a shakespeare character in my genshin impact video game, but c'mon. her sole personality trait is wanting money. at least some of the most shallow characters in genshin have perhaps... two personality traits... but not this one. it's just not a cute gimmick. idk.

take ningguang, for example. both her and dori came from poverty and rose to a higher position through hard work. despite ningguang being a shrewd businesswoman herself, there's far more to her than that. she's described as being on friendly terms with the children of liyue, having no mercy for those who'd do her country harm, utilizing a vast information network that spans all over teyvat, her unique dynamic with beidou; then of course her role in liyue's archon story. her choosing to sacrifice the pinnacle of her achievements, the jade palace, showing that she prioritizes liyue above all else... i could go on and on. so many intriguing elements.

then there's dori. she uh... talks about liking money a lot. every voice line about other characters mentions money. her voice line upon death mentions mora. every voice line from other characters about her mentions money. haha it's a funny gimmick right? haha. there is Nothing interesting happening there. zzz. insanely boring. i feel bad for kaveh who is just some Guy that will perpetually be in debt to this person who knows firsthand the detriments of poverty. i normally have nothing against morally ambiguous women who mess a dude up for funsies (makima is a good example), but dori has nothing interesting going on for her.

and her voice makes my ears wish they could go back to a time where they had never been disrespected by the soundwaves she shrieked out.

[enden-k]

guys i rlly enjoy talking with yall and reading and answering your messages and stuff but its getting REALLY overwhelming lately so i need to say, please dont infodump me with things youre not sure i know (maybe just wait for my answer first instead of just going off). my brain is small, it shuts off when it sees a message so long i have to scroll and scroll and scroll 😭

to the dr ratio chain anon: I LOVE YOU FOR THE MENTAL IMAGES

[dandelion-wings]

Aether and Lumine? Paimon too.

Thank you for the ask! :> I am going to split this not on Aether/Lumine lines but on Traveler/Abyss Prince(ss) lines, because, well, canon did set it up that way, and while if absolutely pushed, Lumine is my Traveler, I mostly prefer to be agnostic in my meta and fic about who is who.

TRAVELER

How I feel about this character

Ah, yes, Traveler von Protagonist Disease.

The thing that complicates the Traveler for me is that I absolutely loathe the kind of semi-self-insert-but-semi-independent-character protagonist that seems to be getting popular in video games these days. Byleth in FE3H is another good example. I wish they didn't exist! I wish that it was either a full self-insert, character-builder and all, or that they gave us a protagonist with a personality in the style of Tales Of and Final Fantasy games in the first place. I really enjoy roleplaying a character as I play a video game, whether given to me as a fully-realized character or as one I made up myself, and this in-between kind of robs me of that because I can't go full "this OC of mine believes this" and I also can't try for accuracy to the character I'm presented on-screen.

That said, they have been getting better about this with the Traveler over the last few nations, and I like the increasing sense of actual, independent personality that we've gotten for them! Obviously a protagonist of this kind of game, where all the others have to like the player character to make the gacha appealing, is going to want to help others, so I actually particularly like the occasional thread we get where they're like "no, I don't actually care half as much for Teyvat as I do for my sibling, I don't not care but my main mission is still to get to them" because it's very refreshing to me.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Childe with the Lumine version, as two people who can and will absolutely fuck each other up in a play-battle, post-fight sex optional but fun. (Also I once read a Childe/Lumine AU fic where Childe was attempting to pursue The Greatest Game with Lumine and she turned the tables and pinned him down with knives through his hands, and it was incredibly hot.) Ayaka, as a one-sided crush on Ayaka's part. That's... really about it.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Paimon! My bestest and beloved friend. :>

My unpopular opinion about this character

With a handful of exceptions, I... do not particularly enjoy Traveler-centered fic/art/meta. I don't know how unpopular that is but it's all I've got.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I know why Hoyo can't do this with their gacha game full of waifus and husbandos, but I wish we had at least one major/playable character who just did not get along with them. All their voicelines are along the lines of "you think I'm fucking telling you that?" I just want to see how it would play out.

THE ABYSS PRINCE(SS)

How I feel about this character

Honestly much more fascinating to me, in part because they've been a lot more allowed to have some kind of personality from the beginning! I want to know all about what's happened to them, why they hold the positions they do, why they give their twin so few crumbs, etc.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I mean. Dain. XD

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Aside from their twin, also Dain! Love their history.

My unpopular opinion about this character

This sort of overlaps with the second, but while I don't know how plausible or how unpopular it is, the mirror in the Caribert quest where the Traveler saw them in it combined with some minor previous stuff to unlock a Theory for me that the Traveler and the Abyss Prince(ss) aren't twins, but a single person with, for the Traveler, altered memories, whom the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles broke apart in order to nerf their power and/or for other reasons related to the whole "Fourth Descender broken up for parts" thing. Fascinating to me.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Related to the above: Hoyo, please give me this. For all the game's deliberate sibling analogies and their pleasing narrative resonance, this theory honestly has way more appeal to me overall.

PAIMON

How I feel about this character

My buddy! My bestest friend! :> I get mad when people are mean to her (in-game or people who choose those options in play). I get sad when she talks about being scared without us (@chrysoula has a theory that this is all foreshadowing a quest/arc where she's taken away and I think this is reasonably likely but I'm also dreading it). I refuse to believe the theories that she's evil, but I do love the theories that she's a reduced/de-powered version of Something/Someone in Teyvat's lore, that would be very fun. I want to give her so many hugs.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I do not. XD

My non-romantic OTP for this character

The Traveler, of course! :> I also love her rivalry with Itto. I love when characters treat her as a separate person from the Traveler and have their own relationships with her.

My unpopular opinion about this character

From what I've seen in the fandom... that I like her at all? XD;;

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Hoyo stop giving us options to be mean to her. She doesn't deserve it. >:( Appreciating and loving Paimon hours ONLY.
