Nick-Names - Genshin

Characters: Xiao, Scaramouche, Venti, Lyney, Albedo, Kaveh, Thoma, Diluc, Childe, Heizou, Kazuha x GN reader

Warnings: a lot of cheesy and weird nicknames, if you dont like some for a specific char you're welcome to send me your ideas, could be modern au, established relationship

(you can clearly see that i prob put in an OC, so im so sry, but some i just also really head-canon as the "would rather date a loving person than be loving" if you get what i mean)

Summary: both of your pet names for each other, some silly some sweet

Note: you can really tell where i had no ideas for nicknames. and ik i use both 'pet names' and 'nicknames' but im just kinda stupid and didnt care to change stuff when i was already done with it. also i may just have a problem but why does princess sound 10x better than prince, no matter your gender, anyway love youuuu

Xiao

He will always say what is on his mind, and he did the same thing when you brought up using pet names. he wasn't very fond of the idea, and sometimes he still isn't(depending on the situation). but he has gotten used to it more over time, like when you burst open his door and to talk to him while using the most absurd nicknames he´s ever heard of.

__

Pet names for you: lovely, qinxing, [shorter version of your name](sry people with short names, i fell ya)

Pet names for him: babe, baby, cutie, dove, birdy, my alatus

Scaramouche

Will never admit he likes being called weird things by you, EVER. if he did then he was drunk and he was totally lying. and that counts with calling you stuff as well, he would rather die than admit he doesn't just call you that bc you wanted him to.

__

Pet names for you: idiot, princess/prince, dear

Pet names for him: smoochi, love

Venti

He was probably the one who suggested the idea at first, like two days/weeks (seconds) into your relationship. i also think he already had at least one nickname for you when you were "just friends", in the crushing phase, and has some for all his other friends as well(prob also his teachers if school au, lul).

__

Pet names for you: windblume, cecilia, [insert the cheesiest thing you can think of], my love

Pet names for him: venni, my dear, sweetheart, my bard

Lyney

He would be over the moon if you gave him a nickname, and would instantly be looking like a tomato too. would increase its usage by tenfolds if you said you liked one of his nicknames. you cannot stop him even if you somehow got 'Father' involved.

__

Pet names for you: babe, mon trésor, mon amour, beautiful

Pet names for him: sweetie, amour, lyn

Albedo

He didn't really see a use for it at first, finding it kind of useless. but sooner or later realized how happy you looked when he had somehow slipped up and called you 'love' when he needed your assistance. and later just didn't bother to stop.

__

Pet names for you: love, my cecelia, my dear

Pet names for him: 'bedo, lovely, (my) genius

Kaveh

He LOVES nick-names, probably made one for everyone in the friend group(yk alhaitham, tighnari n cyno), and would be delighted to make some up for you.

__

Pet names for you: beloved, lovely

Pet names for him: baby,

Thoma

He really wanted to try using them, yes he calls Ayato and Ayaka my lord and my lady, but its just not the same as calling your lover something sweet. and good luck if you don't like it, he's keeping those names forever.

__

Pet names for you: babe, sweetheart, baby, sleepyhead, lovely

Pet names for him: babe, love

Diluc

He honestly wasn't a fan at first, he hated it even. but of course, you being you, insisted on using names for him, and encouraged him to at least try to use some for you. so he kinda got into routine with it.

__

Pet names for you: my love, my dear

Pet names for him: dear, red head, love, my hero

Childe

Of course, he would use nick-names and such, he uses nick-names for the traveler and paimon, so of course he would be using such with you. honestly how could he not, especially when you're looking all cute cuddled up in his hoodie.

__

Pet names for you: my love, beloved, cupcake

Pet names for him: ginger, ma strong man(only for teasing purposes), hubby

Heizou

He'll almost never call you by your actual name, he didnt even when you two were just friends, only in the most serious of times would he do that. so it was no surprise that when you actually started dating, they could only become sweeter and cheesier as time goes by.

__

Pet names for you: princess/prince, baby, beautiful, (my) sunshine

Pet names for him: hei, zou-zou, babe

Kazuha

He loves it bc no matter what you call him he'll be happy. and he makes sure you have "some" as well, and i guess he just can't stop coming up with more, and they're always more cheesy than the last. you don't know how he does it, but maybe its just his poetry skills coming through.

__

Pet names for you: dove, (my) love, sweetheart, sweetie, my dear

Pet names for him: kazu, dear

thank u for reading whatever this thing is(totally not a filler bc i habe been working on that streamer au for too long), luv ya-Masterlist

「 💭 」⠀overstimulating childe and albedo because you can't get enough of their cum!

cw. NSFW (MDNI), afab! reader, reposted and edited work :D, multiple orgasms, messy sex (yes), an abnormal amount of cum, riding, oral (m), dirty talk, use of names (princess), baby trapping, bit of dubcon (tagging this just in case), pure filth

A L B E D O

he just thinks it's just another of your silly games.

judging from the way your body accepts each of his relentless thrusts had him feeling weak and close to surrendering. he can feel his thighs ache, his balls tighten to the stimulating feeling of shooting his creamy load inside your leaky cunt but your words keep echoing inside his mind, making it hard for him to stop—

"just a little more 'bedo. a-ah, right there.”

you called out to him, arms wrapping around his neck, pulling him into a messy kiss. you kept on surprising him, right after your hands went to lock around his neck your legs as well hooked themselves around his hips. "i'm so close 'bedo. ro-rougher please~" and he followed, putting all his focus on his hips, aiming for the sweet spots that had you creaming all over him.

he loves this, more than he can admit it himself. he loves how you’re being so needy, so whiny from being stimulated so much by his cock and his cock alone.

"hng, you're so damn tight around me," uttered the alchemist before cussing under his breath as he felt your greedy hole sucking him, forcing more of his cum inside of you. he hisses at the way your gummy walls continued to clamp down on him, pulsing with warmth that pulls him deeper and deeper.

"not enough, 'bedo. still want more of you inside of me, pretty please?" your murmur when you rut your hips upwards, forcing your aching thighs to meet his halfway, letting your clit rub on his pelvic bone, feeling his stiff cock twitch despite how many times he had already came in you.

"still want me to stuff your pretty holes, princess?" albedo muses but groans when your warmth constantly pulsed to suck all the cum he's been saving in his balls. with every thrust that follows after your wishes had him weak against you, the tip of his dick feels so sensitive while it hits the spot he knew would have you seeing stars.

"yes, 'bedo. wanna suck you dry, gimme all your cum."

your words, glazed with the intoxication of lust that erases all morals you have on yourself, pushed him more to rut his hips even when the sharp jolts sent from the head of his dick all the way to his real head had him losing what he's supposed to do.

he unknowingly slows down his pace, trying to catch his breath and to lessen how his hips strain a little from how his cock aches from cumming so much. but that didn't stop your body from rubbing itself against him, desperate to feel more stimulation.

you unwrapped your legs once more around his waist, bending it just to jerk your body upwards to meet albedo's throbbing and leaking cock.

"c-close, so close!" he surprisingly cried out but he was quick to bite down on his lower lip to stop more of the breathy moans and low whines to escape his mouth. but you can hear him, shooting dopamine through your body that you can't help but coo at him.

"you're so good for me 'bedo. thank you for your cum, thank you for filling me up."

C H I L D E

he's really whiny as he came for the fourth time this night.

you kept on rocking your hips over his hard cock, smothering his skin with open-mouthed kisses, sucking on the flesh on his neck, marking him everywhere your mouth can reach. your hands were busy helping yourself in lifting your trembling body to roughly fuck your sloppy cunt all over him.

"f-f/n, shit, isn't this e-enough for the night?" he asks, back arching as you tightened around him. "f-fuck, i'm so sensitive already, please."

"not enough, it's not enough childe. please, i want more of you." a purr out of your lips together with the lustful glaze of your eyes had him weak. a sucker for your love, childe just lets you use him for your own satisfaction, hissing when you creamed around him, coating both your thighs with your juices as you squirted from the satisfaction gotten from being fucked full of his cum and cock.

"a-ah, shit, you're so damn tight f/n, fuck, please, 's too much." a hushed whimper came out from childe, causing something inside of you to stir more desire in wanting him. his hands were tight around your hips but faltered as soon as you moved once more through the sensitivity of your clit rubbing so eagerly on his groin.

he just feels so damn good to be inside of you, so hard and long that with every rut of your hips to meet his hits the right spots inside. addicting, childe's cock is truly addicting that you craved to feel more of him, just fucking yourself that the cries he let go pass through your head.

"wanna be full, full of you. give me one more, please, just one more."

childe can only feel this pleasurable pain stinging from his cock, feeling himself close to being milked dry but your body isn't stopping until he had given you what you want. he, himself, is growing addicted to the feeling as well, toes curling as another orgasm peaks behind the ache between his legs.

his eyes peered up on your face, looking so satisfied as you get closer to another sweet peak of yours. after a few rolls of your luscious body against his, both of you came at the same time, both your cries and groans echoing in the room.

childe is fucking spent, heavy intakes of air followed the growls from his throat. just as when he thought you're done, you removed yourself and looked at how your hole is practically dripping with both your cum, childe's cock flushed with a dark pink color at the tip with every vein. your eyes sparkled, licking your chapped lips before sliding yourself down between his legs.

the dangerous glint on your e/c orbs alerts childe and he was a bit too late on pulling you away because you finally have his pretty cock inside your mouth.

[anantaru]

okay i just finished the windblume event and all i‘m going to say is:

mondstadt events are by far, the absolute best and albedo is super sexy but why do they put so much important lore in a time limited event LIKE THE LORE DROPS WERE SO GOOD THIS TIME, 10/10 event!!!! mondstadt related things never fail 🤍

!!!!!!! spoilers under cut:

the way mona says "let me scry" just like her master is so cute, i’m so happy they included that and features a little of her master!! 🤍 i love how she calls her old hag LMAOAOA but she still respects her immensly!!! 🫶🏻

also baby albedo aaaaa !!! 💝😇 he‘s so cute and smol !!!!! 🫣 everyone speaks of rhinedottir as this HUGE evil person but the way she talked about albedo and her voice didn‘t scream evil at all, her tone is so calming and when she talked about bedo (saying he‘s her son and she‘s his mom) it sounded so loving, as if she really loves him. 🤍

not them trying to challenge venti bye 💀💀 i giggled at that part and how venti knows of them all, he hides so much and i’m so sure he’s stronger than he actually says!!! 🤍 i‘m so interested in the hexenzirkel now and everything, where are they all, what is their end goal? they gotta have a plan or something🤔 like there has to be something ulterior going on.

this is so cool too, everyone has a letter appointed to them:

R - rhinedottir (albedo‘s master, she‘s called the great sinner and is linked to the cataclysm 500 years ago which led to the fall of khaenri'ah)

N - nicole (the person who talked to us after kuni‘s quest when we saw that the vase was still broken after the alleged change through irminsul, also nicole seems so interesting because how on earth do not even archons remember changes irminsul makes but she does ???? or at least has a grasp on what is happening in teyvat, i‘m happy they confirmed it‘s nicole!! 🤍)

A - alice (klee‘s mom 🫶🏻 she‘s so cool i need her to be playable now, i think when we finally see her in person we‘re going to get heavy lore bits)

M - ??? (the author who wrote the boar princess and tought alice the meaning of grief)

J - ??? (scarlett‘s master, got married)

and those aren‘t even all 🙏🏻🙏🏻 alice said there‘s more and she‘ll tell us later like 🥲 tell us now alice i don‘t want to wait, you already namedropped a few, you gotta finish it now!!! 💝

[sunflawyer]

(hope you're doing ok and eid mubarak!)

thank youuu ari 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡!! happy eid mubarak to you too!! 💗💗💗

Shining Force 2 Pre-release Coverage

Post on the first game here

Let’s continue our deep dive on old magazines. Again most of my info here are from the Beep! Megadrive magazine, but I did manage to find some footage from old Sega videos as well.

For context again, the game released in Japan on October 1993.

June 1993

Unlike the first game, which showed very few regions during pre release, this one is eager to show a bunch of new places, probably because it can’t generate hype about a unique battle system anymore. Bowie and a parade of peculiar placeholders take a good tour around the continent.

Save for the wall decoration and possibly the colors, it’s hard to judge on print, New Granseal’s castle is pretty much the final version. Same for Arc Valley's escher-like dungeon, as the magazine puts it.

Volcanon’s shrine is also here, and the magazine claims to have seen “a huge monster” on the top of the shrine, so Volcanon is likely already there as well. They wonder if it could be a boss but I think it’s just baseless speculation since it’s clearly not a battle scene, and little story was revealed at this point.

The monument looks wack, the shop signs are huge, and doors are different, but otherwise Hassan looks very close to the final version.

Bedoe is dark, that particular torch is also not in the final version, although there are torches in the town. Would be a pain in the ass to navigate, but might be just a test of the dark effect.

HQ already has the same vibe, but lots of different details, like different tables, cups and flowers vases on them, no stone walls, etc.

But enough of that, let’s stop pretending the Placeholder Force isn’t the wackiest and most amusing thing in these screenshots. What do we have there.

Bowie seems mostly complete, which makes sense as I’ll show in a second that his design was already announced. There are still a couple differences though, his clothes are blue instead of white and his cape has a golden line. His design might have been quickly revised at some point?

There’s a bunny girl NPC. Because of course the first thing these devs hopped to make was a bunny girl NPC. I’m actually more shocked that they did not keep her. Also I’m saying NPC with some certainty because as you can see comparing with Bowie, playable characters tend to have one less pixel between the eyes. So I don’t think she’s a scrapped character or anything.

Mae is here! Because of course it makes sense to use a character from the previous game as placeholder. As opposed to, you know, drawing a whole bunny girl. Her lower body was recolored to orange/yellow for some reason though.

There’s a wyvern sprite that does make it to the final game as an enemy. Curiously that shot of New Granseal shows more wyverns flying around as well. It makes no sense to use flying placeholders for the soldiers that should be there, so I wonder if there were supposed to be birds flying in the scenario or something, it would be neat.

There’s a cute little girl NPC with twintails who sadly didn’t make it. I don’t have anything to say about this.

Finally, true nerds like me fans of this blog will have certainly recognized the warrior sprite as an unused sprite from the first game:

From the side however, it was clearly edited, the helmet losing detail, getting shorter horns, and the whole guy getting shorter as well. My theory is that this guy was on the process of becoming this:

and maybe later Jaha, as this NPC is already very similar to him, and his design was already announced as well. In fact, that’s what we’ll talk about next. Besides these screenshots, there are four characters introduced in this article.

This kid is the protagonist!?

He is the protagonist who will represent you and travel through the world of Shining Force II. It seems he lives in the castle town of Granseal, but has no adventuring experience yet. From here on the both of you will have an exciting journey together!

The princess of Granseal!?

The princess of the country of Granseal, where the protagonist lives. She seems to be the main female character for Shining Force II. Her long hair and beautiful dress are nice. How will she get involved with the protagonist? We look forward to see it.

Jaha

“We’re the side characters!?“

Wielding a huge axe, he’s a bad influence for the protagonist, and a hobbit warrior. Just like the protagonist, he’s still in training and has no adventuring experience. Really bad at studying in school.

Slade

The greatest thief in Granseal. He shares the stolen treasures with poor people. Clearly a kind of Nezumi Kozo.

As the link above says, Nezumi Kozo (rat brat) is the nickname of a japanese thief who later became a kind of Robin Hood-esque folk hero as it was assumed he helped the poor as well with his crimes, and also apparently never hurt a victim. There’s an obvious inspiration here.

Producer Hiroyuki Takakashi doesn’t reveal much of the story at this point, only that it will be a different continent than the first game, and also have more events happening one after another unlike SF. He also says that there would be battles different than the army vs. army setting of SF. There are also talks of how certain details of the system and graphics were being reworked, and already talks of being able to choose between promotions, but it’s all very vague.

Later in this month, a demonstration of the game was presented at the Tokyo Toy Show. I couldn’t confirm it as there doesn’t seem to be a recording of it anywhere, but it’s likely a lot of the footage from here on is from that.

July 1993

Article opens up with an interview with the Takahashi brothers, but there’s not much to note. They mention being in the point of writing the game’s ending, and when asked about the presence of robots and such in the previous game, mention that while the Ancients are always a part of the Shining Series since SitD, this game would lean more into the fantasy vibes.

Also, up to this point, they had been working on both SF2 and Gaiden 2 at the same time. Gaiden 3 released in early July so from here on they’re free to focus on SF2. Or maybe not, because there’s already talks of a Gaiden 3 being planned. For better and for worse, these people could not stand still a second.

(To digress a bit, it’s also peculiar because the Final Conflict strategy guide mentions the game was originally planned for the Mega Drive. The Gaiden series was a Game Gear thing, so perhaps there was a whole different game being considered at this point which got shelved to make way for Final Conflict.)

Back to the topic, we get a few more screenshots with the Placeholder Force.

Most places seen like the final version, but this house/village in front of the ancient shrine was removed.

We then get pictures of what is likely a later build with more familiar characters being worked on.

The Caravan debuts, and we also finally get the first battle scenes.

Taros is already here as the most eye-catching part for the 90′s kids. I on the other hand am loving a lot more how the platform neatly informs you it is a test only. The UI also does not show the character’s class, even though it will in the final version.

And Luke is here! Except maybe not. His name onscreen says Nick. Obviously this could be an issue of them using the rename cheat, but that doesn’t happen for any other character in these pre release footages, and would be a bizarre move. It’s possibly a placeholder name derived from Sonic Co., (like Max is likely derived from Climax Entertainment, now you know). The interesting thing is that this sprite and its palettes in the final game don’t quite match Luke nor Skreech’s design, and Luke is also the only character to not get a sprite change upon promotion, so it’s easy to believe that was some delay or complication in finalizing these guys.

We also get a look at the Grans-Parmecia Shrine map, which is very much done as well. The monsters on the top however is frustrating me to no end because they look very familiar but I can’t remember where from. Anyway, definitely didn’t make it to this game at least.

We also get our first look at Sarah and Kazin, except Kazin is so cut off on this screen it’s not worth mentioning him now, there will be plenty of time to talk about Kazin later. Sarah on the other hand is easy to see, and she’s clearly not herself yet. Her outfit is what will become hers and Karna’s vicar outfit in the final version, but she also has a hat, which only the vicar battle sprite will have in the end.

It’s okay, she’s an important character so i’m sure they will sort this out in a timely manner. Anyway! We do see someone else there who is also from the starting gang and with a complete design. Chester’s design is indeed announced at this point, though with little character info. There’s also a small synopsis of the story by now, which is basically “Slade steals a treasure in the shrine and bad stuff begins to happen”. We then get a map of Parmecia.

I don’t think I’ve posted an official map of Parmecia before, so here it is for comparison. They do look pretty much the same already. Volcanon’s shrine is weirdly not marked in the map, but is mentioned in the text. Lemon and Creed’s names are mentioned as well.

August 1993

The article of this month explicitly mentions the Tokyo Toy Show so that’s nice for reference. While I couldn’t confirm it, by comparing the footage I also think this Sega video (the Shining Force part starts at the 6 minute mark) is from the same month, so I’ll be using footage from there as well.

The demo showed an early version of the jail cutscene with Slade. While the dialogue seems to be same as the final version, Sarah does not have her portrait nor her final sprite yet, and the other characters seem to be just following Bowie in line as opposed to having their own places in the cutscene. The old man NPC also has different colors, and there seems to be someone else in the room.

If you watch further in the footage you’ll see everyone keeps following Bowie, even hilariously clipping through walls at points. I’ve joked about it before but turns out I was right, they did put some good effort into coding the followers’ movement, because they might have intended to use it more, if not through the whole game.

Lemon’s sprite was not done at the time, and the event of the Galam army’s departure was likely simplified since the final version involves not only Lemon, but the king as well, who seems to have no placeholder here.

The Caravan scene is also shown, although using the dwarf village theme, and having Jaha instead of Peter. Given that it’s just one character as opposed to the big team you would have at this point, it’s possible he’s just standing in for Peter and not actually intended to be in the scene. The next one raises further questions though.

The Kraken scene is also shown, and the whole starting team is here. Slade’s text is very much in same vein as Oddler’s in the final version, warning everyone of the Kraken’s appearance, but it’s still different text, as Oddler speaks more politely, so this version was written for Slade himself, no placeholding.

It deeply hurts my heart to consider Slade was supposed to have a bigger role and got scrapped, though I feel I know why this happened. This series really likes to take its gameplay deaths seriously for some reason, and it would probably be too costly to constantly check which characters are alive and have alternate versions of a cutscene to adjust for that. That’s why the first game mostly has just Nova talking (though characters still show up for the ending at least). The Gaiden games go around this a bit more by reviving everyone at the start of every chapter and on endings, and also using characters who just joined the force in the cutscenes as they can’t have died already.

This game made Peter and Lemon, two immortal characters who carry most of the conversations from the moment they join alongside Astral. It also seems to delay some characters joining as playable characters for this reason. For example, Kazin is not playable through the path to Hawel’s house even though he’s following you, because he has to be alive for the cutscene there. Pretty much every instance of a character following you instead of joining the force seems to be because of this.

There are a few instances that show they might have considered other approaches though. There are numerous instances at the start of the game where characters revive automatically, since there’s a lot of dialogue with them. After the first battle, before the jail scene, upon leaving Grans Island, and during the one year timeskip. Of course, they all resurrect during the time Princess Elis is asleep in the ending as well. There’s also as far as I remember a single instance where you must have a particular character alive to progress, if Elric is dead he won’t open the passage to Creed’s mansion.

Of course, they might have felt that characters would have to be constantly revived for do more scenes with that, and it would ruin their game design, and it’s not intuitive to know that you must revive a particular someone to proceed, so they might just have scrapped this kind of plot. Still sucks given that it’s kind of a self imposed limitation, plenty of games just treat defeat in battle as different to death and let the characters take part in the story as needed. But alas, back on topic.

Plenty of other battle maps are shown, albeit with different enemies and different stats. A very minor detail is that the golem sprite has red eyes. In the final version they have green eyes except for Claude.

Sorcerer spells are in, although they don’t seem to be fully implemented yet, in the footage Kazin uses them through the attack command as opposed to an actual spell. Perhaps because of that it is also single target.

Speaking of Kazin, I did say we have to talk about him, now’s the time.

His sprite seems to be much like the final one, but blue. It is possible there are small differences though, because his staff, not in the final version, seems to use at least three colors besides black and white, when all final weapons in the game use only two. This is because the game loads the character and weapon colors into a single 16 color palette, so to have more colors in one you sacrifice colors of the other. Weapons in the first game did have three colors so this might be a leftover.

Small details for big nerds though, as I said the design is pretty much complete, including details like the bag and the feathers he carries around, which are less generic than I’d expect for a placeholder. Perhaps he already had a tentative design floating around.

More than that, the map sprite seen in all these pictures did make it to the final game. As his sorcerer sprite.

It looks nothing like the sorcerer design, so it’s easy to accept it was designed for something else. Let’s compare with the final mage sprite.

Hair changed to be spiky, but everything else is basically the same, including the green staff which matches his final artwork. It’s likely he had some concept art already around, though it wasn’t officially revealed so perhaps there was some intention of changing it. But it’s noticeable that he shows up in plenty of footage while nothing is seen of Sarah, who is not finalized either. He was at least further in the development.

The color thing is also interesting. Kazin does get to be blue as sorcerer, and also as wizard... in the map, and the game’s cover, a rare case of official illustration of a promotion. In battle however his sprite is brown. That palette, though? Is the last one set for the wizard sprite, even though he should be the first wizard. And the first palette for it? That’s right, blue. In the final version it is used for Chaz, who does have the exact same clothes but is the last wizard in the game. It would not surprise me if there was a swap at some point. And of course it makes sense to not use two blue palettes for the same sprite. The question is, why design the characters with the same colors then? I would love to get an answer.

September 1993

Signs of progress, every picture is this article is from a different build, since character classes now show up in the UI.

Sarah still does not have her map sprite.

Her battle sprite and finished design do finally show up in the next pages though, so they might have just not got to it at the time, even if it feels silly to me as map sprites are simpler, perhaps exactly because of that they weren’t top priority. Either way, it just feels wild to me when compared to how Chester and Jaha and even Kazin seem to have been done.

As for the actual point of the picture, that’s Bowie casting Freeze level 4. Normally I’d chalk this up to debugging shenanigans, as the first game and Gaiden I as well give the heroes extra spells in debug mode, but, that generally also comes with jacked stats including 99 MP. Bowie here is at max unpromoted level but his stats look normal.

For further consideration here’s another screenshot of him at level 4 knowing Egress and Blaze level 1. Everyone’s stats look normal so this looks like his actual intended progression. Also while drafting this post and having it blasted to oblivion because tumblr can’t save properly apparently, I realized this explains a bit of the wackiness when it comes to magic progression in this game. Did you know that the Kraken is weak to ice? Have fun trying to exploit that weakness. In the final game, you go a big stretch of the game without access to Freeze. If you promote Kazin to wizard and don’t pick Tyrin at Creed’s, you’re basically locked out of ice spells for most of the game, until you finally find Chaz. That always struck me as very weird, and I’m realizing now it might be because they might have stuck with magical Bowie here for a good time, and didn’t rebalance things when changing it.

Sarah debuts with a proper sprite for once.

Blue Kazin however remains undeterred. You might also notice his staff is switching colors weirdly during animation. I’ve had this problem on my first hacking attempts of the game due to not setting up proper Mega Drive colors, and it’s amusing me to no end that it happened to the actual devs as well. Though I don’t know that much on how animations are done so the problem might have a different origin as well. Anyway, fun.

We also get to see Kazin’s full spell list, and while mostly the same, he has the Attack spell instead of Desoul, much like Tao was the only wizard to have it in the first game. In the final version, only Frayja learns this spell, making this the only classic Shining Force game where it is a priest spell instead of a mage one, so it doesn’t surprise me at all that Kazin was meant to have it.

It’s also worth noting that in the final game, Kazin is the only character who learns Desoul. Either the spell wasn’t in (the article mentions every other wizard and priest spell except for it), or someone else was meant to learn it, or they hadn’t even planned that far ahead.

We get our first character bios in a long time.

Protagonist - Bowie

A boy who lives in the castle town of Granseal. He used to be a mischievous boy, but nowadays is well behaved (?) and studying hard as Astral’s pupil. He’s friends with Jaha and Chester, and they play together almost every day.

The thief Slade

The self proclaimed great thief of justice. But he’s not much of a bad guy, and shares his stolen treasures with poor people. He seems to main culprit behind the story’s beginning!?

Warrior Jaha

Bowie’s friend, and a hobbit who hates studying the most out of all of Astral’s pupils. Really strong in battle.

The knight Chester

Bowie’s friend, and another pupil of Astral’s, but while he’s a gallant centaur, his one flaw is that he’s not very assertive. He often comes up as just a yes-man to Bowie. Don’t you have friends like that too? Treat him well.

Priest Sarah

An elf girl and also Astral’s pupil. She’s helpful and likes taking care of others, being kind of a big sister to Bowie and the others. Pulling out that sisterly authority at times, she might be kind of annoying?

Sometimes I wonder if Sarah went through some kind of rewrite during development since none of her official descriptions bring up her being the actual mischievous kid who plans to sneak into the castle and is not even apologetic about it, but then I remember that this series is uhhhh, ah, erm, oof, hmmmm, about women, so yeah, I don’t think that’s what’s going on here.

Sage Astral

Currently retired, he has now taken Bowie and the other kids as pupils. He’s also a notable person who knows the king personally. At the story’s beginning, he berates these troublesome kids while also giving them a chance to go on the adventure.

Sheela

A mysterious and beautiful human girl. She used to train under Astral, but left for some reason. While she doesn’t have much relation with the story, we look forward to see just how will she and Bowie meet. She’s quite sexy!!

King Granseal

King of the country of Granseal at the south of Grans Island. Bowie and the others live in its castle town. Because the queen passed away too soon, he dotes a lot on Princess Elis. Ooh.

Princess Granseal

The princess of Granseal, she’s a happy girl loved by the king and her people. We’re quite curious to know how she’ll be connected to the heroes. Maybe in the end she’ll be a party member!?

OOF

Kiwi

A new character appears!

The green turtle Kiwi is the mascot-like character this time. Of course he can take part in battles, but he’s not very strong. But he seems to hide some special talent!? What exactly is still a secret for now. He’s kind of cute, maybe.

-The previous game had Yogurt, of famous sayings (?) like “do you like my helmet” and “I don’t get it”.

After the magazine, we get more Sega footage (starts around the 4:45 mark).

The intro seems pretty much done, except for a Gizmo attacking the king instead of Geshp. And it’s easy to think “oh it’s a placeholder”, but in the final version the king is really possessed by a Gizmo and Geshp doesn’t show up until much later, so I’m not sure? It’s not a very important change at least.

Sarah finally has her final sprite and portrait, so this is a different build. This does mean I can finally go bully the final graphics of this game a bit more.

Sarah’s final priest sprite is not based on her artwork, and is instead just a recolor of the vicar spritesheet, which as I mentioned, is from the placeholder sprite we’ve seen all this time. You can even notice some leftover grey shading that doesn’t quite fit with the blue. Compare it with Blue Kazin’s robes that I’ve posted earlier, which use only the two shades of blue in the palette.

This sprite was a massive rush job, is what I’m saying. A lot of map sprites in this game feel the same, learning how to edit graphics is both a blessing and a curse because you can’t unsee these things.

This footage shows up a lot of final battle sprites not seen until now, especially promotions, like Wolf Baron Gerhalt, Hero Bowie, and so on. I find it hilarious that it also brings up Kiwi when everywhere else they were trying to be coy about Kiwi’s promotion.

The weird thing though, is that the footage ends with the sorcerer spell display from the old builds. Did they not have footage of the final sorcerer graphics? Likely. Let’s bully the final graphics some more.

No fingers! Misplaced weapon! His ass was not designed in a sane and timely fashion!

So yes it is fully possible that the sorcerer sprite was not done even as the game was already like halfway through the door.

The funniest part? In this later build footage we only get a vague glimpse of Kazin.

I’m sorry the screenshot is horrible since it goes by fast, but that’s Blue Kazin.

Of course, most characters in the scene seem to be promoted, even special promotions like Brass Gunner Elric. At the same time May and Slade remain unpromoted. So is this Blue Kazin already repurposed as the sorcerer sprite? Or is the mage sprite still not done?

We might never know the truth, but the fact is that the pre release coverage ends here, and we didn’t get a single glimpse of his final artwork. In a sense he might have been a bigger mess than Sarah.

I have more to write but tumblr has already messed up this draft four to five times and I’m tired, so I’m splitting this into two posts even though i didn’t want it just to see if the problem is post size.

[the-travelling-witch]

OHH Holly u cant put Twilight Princess Link and not expect me to pick him as my blonde sword twink <33

Why are they all so cute and punchable? I love them all

But the final Fantasy Character he’s. Him. I like him

twilight princess link is great, but so is hyrule warriors link (maybe bc the game looks good overall); but there’s sth about botw link that has captured me (it’s the gender envy jsjsh)

can you tell i like link? (also this is how the possible fanart comm of link!bedo and zelda!Holly was born… thanks, general hshsh)

cloud is such a puppy imo… damn sephiroth was right

[zhongrin]

"yes, papa. it's 'fangirling mode'." fgshdhwh /aff. mom i don't think you want a mouth full of bunny floof from nomming my ears :"D /lh- but yes, dad is very lucky :nod nod: hehe,,HHAHAHS TIGHNARI TRIED DENYING THAT HE HAS 'TEMPER TANTRUMS' ("say that again and i'm not giving you any kisses, bunny." "hey, you mess with me all the time, mister. bedoo!! tighnari's being mean to me again") but yes,,bedo tends to use sunlight and princess for me! ~Lycoris

"what an amusing term. does that means when your boyfriends dote on you you call it fanmanning?"

it's fine i can pile those floofs and eventually sell them, don't u know that bunny furs fetch a large sum of mora-

albedo welcoming you into his arms and giving the fox boy a lil smirk as he pats your head lmaoooo-

i feel like cyno would wrap you in a blanket so people won't be able to see you and he just. carries you around like that lol how adorable is that??? rumors start to circulate that the general mahamatra apparently is doing a part-time job babysitting a baby

al haitham is enjoying his off-work hours as usual (read: letting me lay on him while absentmindedly reading his book) while zhongli is cooking us dinner.... ooooh i can smell the delicious aroma of pork already.....

YE!!! tbh there are so many things one must research properly before getting an actual pet... for example, dogs shouldn't eat chocolates or grapes >:( and bunnies shouldn't eat too many carrots!!!!

"does that mean she can get high off bananas" OH MY G OD WHEEZES

now i'm imagining them trying to bribe you with a lil piece of high sugar fruits.... hsljdfklsd it's like that test where you have two people on the opposite side and you release a toddler to see who they like more hahahahahah

ALSO NO DON'T APOLOGIZE!!!! tbh i'm grateful ppl are visiting my inbox shldfjksdf i wish one day is more than 24 hours so i can keep replying to asks when i want to but alas the world isn't as kind ;;;;;

[catcze]

yup!! his name is nawaz! shdhwjs but stealing bugs from random people's worlds sounds kind of funny to me- especially if they're playing as cyno and act just like him, i saw one making a joke about "why'd the fish cross the river" to a kokomi player and they asked "why" and cyno just went "idk u tell me ur playing kokomi" 🤣 ALSO ME, BEDO + KLEE AS ROYALS IS SO CUTE,,looks like bedo has two princesses to "protect" while trick or treating AND BEDO WITH THAT EYESHADOW?? HE'S SO PRETTYY ~Lycoris

also i have more albedo brainrot after eating some mini s'mores hehe that gave me ideas (which are very sticky but very yummy)- i can just see him either a) wiping whatever gets onto my lips with his thumb. b) going ahead and licking/kissing the excess off bc marshmallow + chocolate gets everywhere on my fingers. or c) "it tastes sweet but it isnt as sweet as you" cuz he'd take the chance to kiss me shdhwjsw ~Lycoris

LMAOOO WAIT that Cyno and Kokomi interaction HAHHA Man fingers crossed I get one of those funny Cyno mains in my world one day 😭 and !! Im glad you liked the little Halloween imagine <3 100% albedo would rock the eyeshadow look too 😌😌

AND AWWW that’s ??? so cute !! ‘Isn’t as sweet as you’ BRO HE SO WOULD SAY RHAT HSKDJKAMS speaking of— this made me realize that it’s been some time since I had s’mores 🤔 kinda miss them now omggg

[wwindblumee]

(//protective big bro bedo is best big bro bedo /pos) "and that's a promise." she finished, her smile unwavering. although upon catching wind of the situation up ahead, haruka's expression grew clouded as she followed suit. the maids fell silent once they noticed the pair. "princess! sir albedo!" one stuttered. klee was already on the verge of tears. "are you related to this child? she claims she knows you and that his highness invited her." ~Lycoris

yess!! hehehe especially in this universeee

Albedo knelt beside Klee and pulled her to his side, gently petting her hair as he studied her expression. When he noticed the girl was about to shed tears, he looked up with the same forced smile, an angered vein popping up on his jawline that he couldn't quite suppress. "Yes, I am. In fact, she's a close family member. May I repeat my question? What seems to be the problem here?"

[bedoballoons]

if esch of your anons is an animal, what would they be and why?

OKAYYYY LETS GO! THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ONE!!

And yes, imma include fox anon anyway, because I still consider them a anon and I one day hope they return <3

Princess: would be a bunny, no doubt. She's so cute and yet she can get feisty too if you mess with her. (Love you honey mwah)

Donut cat: Donut cat is crazy, like a squirrel or chipmunk (add Cyno somewhere you get the feral squirrel)

Bananon: Bananon can be crazy too, but also very chill and funny, so imma settle with a chipmunk, the twins gotta stay together

Broccoli anon: (is this your first time being in one of these?? I gotta do well with it then!) Broccoli anon is definitely a special person, very sweet and caring, adorable all around. I feel like the only animal that truly fit that description was a very sweet puppy. Like a emotional support animal since they are always there!

Fox anon: You're missed already, but after thinking about it, I realised sometimes you go for awhile like you're hibernating, so imma call you a bear and hope one day...you come back.

Fairy anon: If a fairy was a animal I'd say you were that, but imma go with a uniquely coloured butterfly. You're hilarious and a little shy, but a beautiful person!

Pancake anon: (haven't seen you in awhile, hope you're doing well and having fun!) I truly didn't get to talk to you much, but I think I'd rope you in with a frog. You're always bouncing from on thing to another (and also a interesting character)

Mushroom anon: The first thing I think of with you is soft, you've got a very soft personality. You're shy, but you also have such a cool air about you, like studying mushrooms!? So cool!! (I'm a fanboy :p) so for your animal, I went with a cute little sheep. Soft and so many wonderful things hidden about them!

Sleepy anon: When I say chaotic...I mean chaotic (sometimes I have no idea what you are saying yet I still find myself giggling) So I'm crossing a fish with a sloth. Why...I'm not really sure, but that duo animal suits you

Starstruck anon: i can only hope you've secured the guy you were dating as a boyfriend! Since they are often considered romantic, I believe you are a dove! Very beautiful animal!!

     𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗼 '𝗞𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘇'

✧ All you have to do to make the renowned Chief Alchemist burst out into honey-sweet laughter is make a fool of yourself: being clumsy with equipment, acting silly to appease Klee, anything like that. Obviously he’d be somewhat upset if you managed to knock over or soil really important notes, but watching you stumble around all flustered just brings a smile to his face. You just look so…adorable; scrambling to apologize and simultaneously clean up the spilled bottle of water that you mistook for something severely important- why is he laughing so hard, this is serious!! You’d sigh, picking up the bottle before you fully caught a look at him- then you were awestruck. He’s beautiful when he laughs, and his laughter itself sounds like a song even a renowned bard wouldn’t do justice.

✧ He’s embarrassed, to put it simply. Cheeks completely flushed, the tips of his ears burning red, and he’d try and cover up his lingering laughter with stray coughs. Albedo’s confused at how easy it was to arouse such a foreign feeling in him- he still had to fight the corners of his lips twitching when you looked over at him with possibly the giddiest smile he’s ever seen from you. He tries to stop laughing, he really does- especially since he notices you “accidentally” knocking a few things over trying to get him to do it again. Sadly, Albedo has remarkable self-control, and probably won’t laugh at the same thing twice.

✧ Unless…it’s you playing dress-up or make-believe with Klee. He will never get tired of the sight of you pretending to be a hilichurl while he goes and saves the princess; you’re almost offended that you get stuck as the hilichurl almost every time, but Klee would tell you later on it’s because she knows it makes Albedo laugh. Why can’t she be the hilichurl? Well, she’s the knight, of course!! Fear not, there’s definitely times where you’re the princess, Klee’s the knight in shining armor, and Albedo’s…oh dear Albedo’s th-

- ✧ -

“-I’m the hilichurl this time?” He attempts to cover his mild shock with amusement, almost offended that he’s been downgraded from knight to a hilichurl. You stifle a laugh, watching Klee happily explain that you have to take turns, no complaining!

“(Y/n)’s always the hilichurl! Jean told me it’s good to let everyone take turns, and I think so too! You do too, right?” She turned to you with a bright smile, hands placed on her hips with a proud stance and eyes that reminded you of an excited puppy. Albedo turned to you, raising an eyebrow with a devious glint in his own eyes, as if daring you to agree. Which, you did. A bit too happily.

“C’mon, Bedo, don’t you think it’ll be fun? I’m sure you know the most about hilichurls between us, anyway.” He sighed softly, crossing his arms before nodding, a soft smile on his face when Klee cheered and practically directed the two of you to your positions. You stifled a laugh, trying your best to be woeful and weepy, and not burst out into hysterical laughter while watching Albedo verbally say “roar.” with a deadpan face.

“No, more expression!” Klee huffed, seemingly offended by his acting- and you watched him shrug before doing the same thing again. The "princess” beside you rolled her eyes dramatically before shrugging, just like he did, and declaring war on the poor “hilichurl.” Klee’s hands floundered around the air when she pretended to fight him, Albedo putting up little defense but occasionally reaching over to tickle her sides. After a long and hard struggle, she turned to you. “I’ll save you!” Klee grinned, pouncing on top of you and hugging you with bubbly laughter lighting up her eyes; she waved around the small wooden stick, as if shooing away Albedo, who raised his hands in surrender. Watching the two of you, as you desperately tried to remain in character- thanking your hero for saving you from the monstrous…monster, he did his best to stifle his own smile- but failed miserably. You continued to hug Klee, who took her role as a knight very seriously (more so than she did when she actually was being a knight) and checked you for injuries. You hummed, patting her head and formally bowing before her, thanking her once more but you couldn’t help but let out a giggle; though, you fared much better than the boy beside you. Out of curiosity, you looked over- shocked by the sight before you.

Albedo doubled over, a hand clutched over his mouth while strange snorting and breathing sounds were muffled behind it- and Klee immediately ran over to make sure he wasn’t dying, only to be pleasantly surprised by his genuine laughter. “Y-You- I- pff-hahah!” He grinned, desperately trying to hide behind his gloves but to no avail as you and Klee tried to pry them away. 

“Albedo!” You gasped gleefully, feeling absolutely elated at the sight of him laughing so freely- something nobody would’ve expected from him. You cupped his cheeks, wiping a stray tear from his right eye and giddily grinned while watching him be reduced to shambles. He looked like sunlight in your hands, stray bits of snow clinging to his hair that bounced with each laugh, his beautiful cerulean eyes coated in a sheen of tears, and the firm grip of his hands on yours.

“He’s laughing! He’s really laughing!” Klee fist-pumped the air, declaring victory like she’d just achieved world peace- though, that’s what this felt like. Watching him slowly come down from bouts of laughter, cheeks reddened and eyes glimmering while his voice cracked lightly, you felt nothing but happiness.

He leaned into your hand, pressing a kiss to your palm, before turning to Klee.

“Next time, please allow me to be the knight once more…”

     𝗞𝗮𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝘇𝘂𝗵𝗮

✧ He laughs the most when you poorly attempt to write with him. You could be an exceptional poet- but everyone has their bad days, right? Watching you desperately try and piece together words that really make no sense, he can’t help but find it hilarious! Especially if you do it on purpose, putting together wild sentences that would make anyone cringe- it has him practically howling. But, even when Kazuha laughs uncontrollably, his voice is still soft and sweet. Akin to the fuzz of a dandelion or a soft blanket on a cold day; his laughter alone is enough to fuel poems and songs for days to come.

✧ Kazuha’s laugh is gentle and sweet, the wind would carry the harmonious sound through the air like a song and it was hard to believe you didn’t try and make him laugh sooner! He doesn’t think of himself as much of a gleeful person, opting to enjoy serenity and quiet rather than boisterous atmospheres and behaviors. He says that, and yet, he’s practically hunched over in broken bouts of laughter; tears bubbling in those beautiful eyes and the tips of his ears flushed a bright pink. Similar to Albedo, he’s unfortunately rather quick to compose himself. You’ll have to be pretty creative to get him to sing his songs of laughter once more, but it’s not impossible! And when you do make him laugh…gods is it worth it.

✧ After the first time you make him lose his composure, you’re determined to do it again. And while it’s fun to play coy and bite back his laughter and smiles at your attempts, he does give in eventually. What can he say? The smile that rises to your face when you succeed is enough to set the room ablaze in comforting warmth. It’s one of his favorite sights, your smile. It’s one of his favorite sounds, your laughter. That beautifully broken sound of hysterical laughter that you try to stifle behind your hand- no, no, don’t hide from him. Sometimes, the sound of your laughter is enough to send him into his own fits!

- ✧ -

“My dear, I’m stuck on the final line of this haiku…do you have any ideas?” Kazuha sighed, leaning his head on your shoulder and finding solace in the gentle rise and fall of it as you laughed. One of his hands reached over to rest on your knee, then grabbed at your hand to trace his thumb over the back of it. As you read over the elegant handwriting, letters spelling out flowers and sentiments any archon would feel blessed to hear, he peppered mindless kisses over your hand.

“‘Kazu…how come you’re asking me?” Your smile twisted in amusement, setting down his notebook but keeping one hand resting over the page. “Today’s a bit of an off day, I can’t even remember what I had for lun-”

“Udon noodles and then dango milk a bit later- I’m asking because even though you deny it, you always have such lovely words to add on.” He grinned, fiddling with your fingers and staring up at you with loving eyes. He looked so calm today, truly at peace with the leaves fluttering and dancing in the summer winds. A slight rose tint brushed over his cheeks, like the finest paint over a beautifully smooth canvas. 

You hummed, tilting your head and sighing dramatically. “Fine, fine, I’ll give it a go-” Though you had no intention of doing so, suddenly wondering what that pretty face of his would look like scrunched up in laughter. “Hm…two warriors had never met before. They were like two…flowers…that had also never met before.” He chuckled, raising an eyebrow and motioning for you to continue. “He grew on her like he was mold and she was room-temperature wagyu beef. The lamp overhead just stood there-” A stifled laugh, he turned his head now, and you grinned. Just a bit more, and-! “Like an inanimate object.” There it was!

“What? (Y/n), ple-please-” He laughed, head tossed back and eyes squeezed tightly shut. The wind tousled at his hair, sending stray wisps twirling around his head- his eyelashes sparkled slightly from the sudden dampness. His laughter sounded like a child’s: giddy, eager, and so, so happy. Good heavens above, you wished you brought your Kamera. 

“Kazu!!” You gasped in sheer delight, cupping his cheeks and watching eagerly as he continued to succumb to the few stray chuckles that lingered- and his hands cupped yours. 

“Where did you come up with su-” He snickered, turning away. “Such statements? Actually, please don’t answer that- I fear I might not recover.” Kazuha dramatically sighed, gasping for air as if he were held underwater. 

“Your laugh is really pretty, y’know that?” He was caught off guard by the sudden sentiment, but smiled and pressed a kiss to your palm regardless.

“Not.” A kiss to your thumb.

“As.” Your index finger.

“Pretty.” Middle finger.

“As.” He skipped a finger, kissing your pinky.

“You.” His lips lingered over the empty space on your ring finger, and his cheeky grin didn’t go unnoticed when he smiled up at your flustered face.

If he can’t convince you to pretend he never laughed, perhaps he’ll try and make you forget about it instead…

     𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲 '𝗞𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗸𝘂𝘇𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶'

✧ Him? Laugh? Seriously? What were you expecting? For him to choke on his drink and hide behind his hand, stifling small snorts and chuckles behind trembling fingers? For his cheeks to flush red and indigo eyes glimmer with tears? For him to quietly tell you to “shut up and stop looking at me-”? Most definitely not, you definitely did not expect that-- but archons was he adorable. Even if he was laughing at you making mockery of some subordinate he hated, he sounded like an angel. It takes a lot to make the infamous Balladeer laugh, even behind closed doors. It takes just the right snide remark, the perfect insult, or maybe just the perfect disgusted expression at the mention of the person. Or…if you’re desperate and positive he won’t clock you, a few wandering hands along his ticklish sides.

✧ His laughter sounds a bit strange at first, you almost thought he was choking. Don’t tell him that though, you’ll probably never see him smile again- Scaramouche wasn’t raised in a place where he could smile, laugh, or even cry. And so, he’s trained himself to be nothing but cruel. Yet, he finds himself panicking at the foreign yet welcoming feeling bubbling in his throat and tugging at his heart- it actually scares him at first. If you laugh at your own joke, show him that he’s alright, he reluctantly lets a few snickers slide. Then, he’s chuckling. And at long last, he erupts into laughter; loud, broken, but so genuine that it makes your heart pound in your ears. 

✧ He looks absolutely ethereal when he laughs. Head tossed back, eyes squeezed shut with glittery tears brimming in the corners, his shoulders trembling, and that adorable- even goofy grin plastered on his scrunched-up face. His pale skin would be flushed with the prettiest tints of rose, and the sound of his laughter (after he’s accustomed) is downright…cute. Bubbly, genuine, even boisterous at times. He’ll deny absolutely all of this and do his best to never let it happen again, but…how can he say no to that eager glint in your eyes? Darling, he’s wrapped around your finger.

- ✧  -

“Archons, I just want to crush him! He’s so- so- agh-” You groaned, legs kicking out from your chair as you shoved your face in your hands, screaming into your palms and ignoring the eye roll from your lover, who sat just beside you. He sighed, awkwardly patting your back while keeping his tired eyes trained on the book in his hands. You hummed, crossing your arms and leaning your head back into the chair. “I mean seriously how stupid can he be? The orders said keep watch at the doors- so what does he do?” He shrugged, looking over to you before deadpanning at your eagerly-waiting expression.

“...What?” He muttered.

“He walks to the other building and starts flirting with one of the waitresses.” Scaramouche’s face contorted into a strange mixture of shock, amusement, disgust, and the perfect amount of ‘no he didn’t!’ The light thump of his book closing let you know you had his full attention, and he still kept one hand holding yours as he crossed his arms. 

“Seriously? Gods, these people are useless!” He scoffed incredulously, pausing when you held a hand up.

“There’s more.”

“More??”

You smirked, mirroring his pose by crossing your arms. “She was married.”

“No.”

“YES.”

A moment of silence before you burst out into laughter, recalling her shout of disgust and his panicked expression when her surprisingly buff wife came back; and you paused, realizing that it wasn’t just your laughter filling the silence. But his, his laughter; genuine, shockingly beautiful laughter just from watching you recall a story (that you may or may not have exaggerated a bit.) A bubble lodged itself in your throat, stealing your words and trapping them there as you watched- still adding in a few words every once in a while to keep him going.

When Kunikuzushi laughed, you couldn’t help but stare. He looked akin to a boy laughing for the first time; adorable, boisterous, absolutely breathless- and his expression, despite being scrunched up and almost pained from the stomach cramps, was the most relaxed you’d ever seen it. Pale skin was more peach now, indigo eyes practically glittering under the lights, he was gorgeous. Even as he tightly gripped onto your arm- as a warning or to brace himself, who knows?- you couldn’t help but smile like a lovesick fool.

“Honestly, what the hell do we do with the- what’re you doing.” Scaramouche glowered, swatting at your hand that started to travel up his ticklish sides and you relished in the small ghost of a smile that started tugging at his lips. …Before he huffed, grabbing your hand and squeezing it back in his own, flipping open the book he was reading and resuming where he left off. A pout crossed your face, eyeing his disheveled state before he spoke once more, and then you looked up.

“What happened after?” 

“...”

“I can see your hand, don’t even try or I’ll remove it for you.”

[z3nitsusgf]

pervy nerd albedo likes sucking on a clothes pussy i know it cause he called me and told me 😾

like just imagine lifting your skirt and nodding at him with a grin and he's so embarrassed because wow this hot sexy popular queen is letting him stuff his face between her legs

and he gets even harder when u call him a dirty pervert loser 💅

Wowowowowow this ask me made all types of horny,,, nonnie (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

cw: NS*W, cunnilingus, saliva, degradation (not towards reader)

It’s not his fault. Honestly, it’s not.

It’s not Albedo’s fault he’s weak when it comes to your affection. That you look so so so good in that new skirt, little pleats rising in the back when you bend, letting him see the shape of your pussy through your panties. It’s not his fault that one sloppy kiss has you dripping, slicking the fabric of your underwear so much that he can see it on the outside.

So, when he drops to his knees, head pushing under the tiny skirt you yelp. You don’t know how he manages to make you embarrassed for once. “Come on, please~” He whines, hands gripping the plush of your legs, subtly keeping them spread. Thumbs pushing your inner thighs open so he can get a good look at your sopping panties, mouth watering. “It’ll feel good, I promise.” He eggs, kissing sweetly on the tops of your thighs and you whimper, tucking a lip between your teeth as you squirm between his palms.

You keep a flat hand on his forehead, nails running into his hair to push back his face that so desperately wants to push under your skirt. He looks like a puppy, all he needs is a tail and you’re sure it’d be slapping against the carpet right now. He’s staring up at you with glazed teal eyes, the pretty azure just a faint ring now given away to the opium blown black of his pupils. He’s practically feral, puddles of drool collecting on the corners of his mouth as he makes out with your plushy thighs and hip bone, waiting for you to say yes.

“You- Albedo, it’s gross-“ He just hums, ignoring the way you call out his name. “You cant.” You murmur, clenching around nothing at the way he’s drooling at the sight of your panties. It’s his favorite pair, in his defense. Pretty mulberry lace, hugs your cunt and rides up just enough that it makes out the shape of the two lips and his he can’t help how his mouth waters at the sight.

The biggest wet patch of your arousal seeps through the front, and he knows underneath your clit is throbbing. “Princess, lift your skirt for me, pretty please.” He mumbles it with so much sweet awe you do it in a heartbeat, trembling fingers gripping the edge of the fabric to hold it up so he can get a good look at your drenched underwear. And he groans, the sight so pretty he wants to coo at his precious you look. All shy and embarrassed, holding up your skirt for him so he can tongue fuck you over your panties - and you’re practically soaking for it.

He can’t help how his tongue peaks out, the way he licks a fat stripe up the seat of your clothed cunt, his hands moving to cup your ass. Grabbing the cheeks in his hand and pulling them apart, you yelp grabbing at the top of his head. Albedo is moaning into your pussy, and your face feels like it’s on fire. He can’t lie, he’s harder than ever. How can he not be?

Dragging his tongue up the slick cloth, dampening it more with his drool. It should be disgusting, should make you shiver with gross repulsion. But the way he slobbers over your soaked panties, drenched equally from your slick and his spit, now dripping in sticky strings of pearly saliva, has you reeling.

Albedo moves his hands to cup down at your pussy, thumbs pushing together the lacey clothed lips, and starts to suck on the drenched fabric. You can hear the faint suckling of the wet lace in his mouth, it’s pressed right up against your throbbing clit and you l twist and squirm in his hold.

“You- you’re so gross, so fucking disgusting bedo,” it doesn’t even sound venomous, tone whiney and on e verge of begging and you feel the smile spread across his mouth as he buries his face in your clothed pussy, and your knees buckle as you twitch and jump at the drag of lace across your sensitive folds.

He’s practically got you on the edge, and you’re embarrassed to admit that this damn nerd is gonna make you cum from sucking on your panties. A few more laps and a press of his thumbs has you careening over, tummy clenching as you clench and cum around nothing. The spasms flashing bright over your body, rubs the sopping wet fabric against your twitching clit. It has you doubling over his head, grabbing his back and shoulders, and trembling.

“Told you it’d feel good,” he mumbles into your tummy, as you shiver from the feeling. And he can’t help but slip a hand under the soaked lacey panties, digits spreading your already drenched folds.

needy lil princess

busy!albedo x afab!reader

warnings: daddy kink, princess kink, spanking, cockwarming, degradation mixed with praise, semi public sex?, dry humping, no aftercare

(i dont know how to so warnings so if i missed anything let me know pls)

"bedoooo, baby, beloved." you whine,

albedos been working on his alchemy notes all day. hes been so absorbed in them that he ignored all your calls. you were worried about him, so you showed up to his lab which practically doubled as his house at this point. when you got there he greeted you at the door, let you in and went back to his notes, barely acknowledging you. you were tired of waiting for him so you decided to sit in his lap.

is this a good idea? who knows.

are you gonna do it anyway? obviously.

you got up and suddenly placed yourself into albedos lap, surprising him in the process. you straddled him and snuggled your head deep in his chest, grabbing his hands away from his work and placing them around you. this wasnt enough for you though, so for added effect you slightly bounced yourself up and down. you knew your pussy was directly on top of his cock, but you were to needy to care, right now you were thinking with your clit.

"princess," albedo started, not knowing whether he should be angry or not. he ultimately decides you need to be punished for distracting him from his work. hes not going to be outright with his intentions though, whats fun about that? "you really need me bad, huh?"

"yeah! need you real bad 'bedo, but youve been ignoring me :(."

youre so cute you almost make him feel bad. almost, "im sorry, princess. i should of payed more attention to you. let me make it up to you, okay?"

absorbed in the pleasure of your pussy bouncing on albedos clothed cock, you let a nickname accidentally slip out without realizing, "mkay, thank you daddy."

this awakens a new kink inside of albedo, and now he knows exactly what to do for your punishment. "yeah just let daddy take care of you, alright princess?"

albedo picks you up and brings you to bed, strips you of your clothes and bends you over his lap.

"whatre you doing daddy?" you questioned your position.

"you really thought you could disturb daddys work without punishment princess?" albedo laughs a condescending laugh and continues talking, "im gonna spank you and after each one your gonna say 'thank you daddy!'" albedo mocks your voice at the end, his mockery makes your pussy clench around nothing.

albedo notices, "hmm, what a slutty princess i have here. remember your safeword?"

"yes daddy its thirteen!"

"good," spank "girl."

you moan incredibly loud. luckily or unluckily depending on what youre into sucrose and timaeus arent around to hear you whoreish moans,

"thank you daddy!"

albedo smiles, glad you remembered his words, if you keep this up hell end your punishment quick.

spank

"fuck! thank you daddy!"

albedos other hand makes its way to your clit rubbing slow circles before quickly transitioning into harsh, fast figure eights. this has you moaning and screaming albedos name

"albedo! daddy! more! 'm gonna cum-"

spank

"remember this is a punishment princess, you dont cum until i say so." albedos gently reminds.

"thank you daddy!"

albedo flips you onto the bed, on your back as you hold your legs up. albedo strips himself of all his clothes and climbs on top of you. "'m ready daddy! dont need to prep me anymore!"

"are you sure, princess?" albedo questions.

"yes! need you right now!"

"alright then."

albedo slips right into you, grabbing your ankles and holding them over your head, his other hand rubbing your clit. he thrusts into you at a steady pace, gradually getting faster. and faster. and-

"fuck, fuck, fuck! daddy faster! harder please!"

albedo grants your request, he moves you to the side a little to get a better angle. the angle that hits the spot just right.

"daddy! daddy! 'm gonna cum! gonna-" albedo suddenly starts going slow again, reminding you of his words he says,

"didnt i say you dont cum until i give you permission? what a bad little princess." you whine and whine, upset your second orgasm was ripped from you,

"daddy im sorry! please let me cum!"

"hmm, are you really sorry, baby?"

"yes! yes!" albedos pace goes back up to the fastest he could go,

"cum, princess! cum with me!"

"daddy 'm gonna squirt! gonna make a mess!"

"go ahead baby!"

your essence squirts everywhere, as albedo paints your walls white. you both pass out onto the bed, falling asleep with albedos still in you. albedos face is stuffed in your hair while your cuddling him. your arms around eachother as you sleep in the most intimate way possible <3.

my eyes are always so cloudy when i try to write, like im not crying or anything my eyes r just clouded up 🤷‍♀️ anyway i kinda spaced out while writing this so idk how good it is oops 🧍‍♀️

“Let me do all the work..” +18

Genshin men x afab!reader

“Let me take care of you darling...”

WARNINGS/CONTAINS: smut!, Dom!Character/Sub!Reader, use of daddy kink in Zhongli’s part, edging, degradation, praise, alcohol consumption in Venti’s part, squirting etc..

Zhongli

- “That’s it baby…you’re doing so good for me..”

- Zhongli adores and worships his darling. With him you’ll get so much love and praise. He enjoys holding your body in place, loves to use his fingers to tease and stretch out your tight little hole. Always chuckles lovingly whenever he sees how wet you always are for daddy..

- “let me do all the work baby, I’ll breed you good I promise.”

- You can help but wail into the pillow while he pounds you so intensely! He’s way bigger than you too, his strong arms with glowing yellow marks encasing you between. It feels so good to have a man like him control you, use you as his own toy.

- His girth and length could make you pass out on its own, there would always be a noticeable bump on your tummy every he’s inside you. Every time he thrusts, your eyes would roll back in pleasure. Your daddy’s cock was so good you could cry!

- Zhongli knows the power he holds over you and would take advantage of it. After 3 or 4 rounds where you would be crying and twitching in utter pleasure, he would slow down for awhile then start to rut his hips again, hushing sweetly with “you’re so good.. can’t get enough of this perfect pussy darlin…” “daddy’s gonna cum again for you dear..”

- A true pleasure dom indeed…

Venti

- This trickster is so gentle with his touches, yet he loves to play with you- making sure you run out of patience. His talented fingers work with his lyre and your folds, pressing nicely on your pretty clit.

- “Venti- ‘feels good..” you moan and rest your head on his chest, the wine you drank earlier starting to take effect. The bard could only chuckle at how adorable his windblume could be, so wet already and your head in the clouds, he would love to eat you up.

- “I didn’t peg you to be such a lightweight~ don’t worry my dear, I’ll gladly take care of you..”

- You loved the way his hands rubbed all over your body, deep down it felt like he was just using your body, but Venti wasn’t like that- you didn’t mind at all if it was him, you love him right? Love the way he parts your thighs apart and enthusiastically dips his head down to eat you out.

- “sing for me dear, let all of Mondstadt know who your god is.” He loves to use his power and status over you.

Scaramouche

- Its not likely for him to indulge into your own fantasies, you didn’t really tell him much but he knew you were the submissive in the relationship and that was enough to have you crying from pleasure in the bed.

- “If you behave i’ll give you what you want.” He’s been edging you for about minutes now, his fingers coated with your wetness, his middle finger and ring finger began to push into your entrance again, the way he perfectly curls it to nudge at your special spot on your walls made you a crying mess whenever he moves it oh-so slow.

- “Please! I’ll be good- just let me cum sir!” You cry and whimper pathetically as he coos at your pleas

- “Shh, calm down princess, i’ll let you cum any time now. Don’t be such a crybaby..” his thumb starts to circle around your pretty blushy clit, urging you to cry even more.

- “or do, your tears look so beautiful…”

Albedo

- On days where he’s free from commissions and deadlines, he likes to continue experimenting on you.

- Just so many possibilities- how sensitive do you get? Or how whiny can you become when he denies you of cumming? Do you like penetration in other holes? How many rounds can you take?

- “Bedo! Ha-h m’feels so good..” his warm breath fans over your glistening cunt, tongue lapping at your sweet juices. The cold weather and this heated session clashed so well, you can’t help but buck your hips up to his face a bit more.

- “mmh..” he hums in agreement, the rough pad of his tongue working wonders on your sensitive nerves. Kisses on your clit made you whine the most adorable pleas, his hands were gloved with black latex ones, sometimes prodding a finger or two in your hole.

- “Albedo! I-i think I’m gonna m-make a mess!!” Tears of satisfaction rolls from your eyes, he give you a small smirk, pulling away when he feels your walls twitch against his fingers. The cut off in your satisfaction made you look up at your master in desperation.

- “w-why’d you stop?” So cute you were, just makes him wanna edge you a million times all over again. “Oops..” he pretends to be sympathetic but he knows what you should do if you want to cum. His thumbs swipes over your clit, rubbing the puffy nerves with such gentleness.

- “what do you want baby?” He talks to you like he’s been so kind and innocent, teasing your state in which you don’t have as much control over the situation as he does. “Please..” you can hic and cry all you want but Albedo is unpredictable with his actions, you could only hope that he’ll let you cum this time. “Make me cum.. please i’ll be good”

- “all you had to do was ask, I wouldn’t mind playing with your addicting cunt.
