How they Propose (Xiao, Dainsleif, Zhongli)

Thanks to @stygianoir for requesting and giving me some ideas. But I won’t blabber any more

Characters: Xiao, Dain, and Zhongli

Fluff, Fem!reader (no pronouns used) under the cut

Xiao

Let’s go with the hardest first

It is so hard to imagine Xiao proposing, if I’m honest. He’s not the kind to do research on human traditions and rituals

But if he did it was because Zhongli mentioned it or because you did

Once it came up and once he gave it some thought (and probably consulted someone more knowledgeable), he’d propose

His proposal would be something super simple. Even though he would totally want to do right by you, the guy is pretty direct and his proposal would reflect that

Maybe on a warm summer’s night he’d take your hand a slip the ring on your finger while asking. He totally blushes and definitely stumbles over his words but is visibly happy when you agree

Dainsleif

Dain is also a hard one

You had to bring it up and when you did he kinda tilted his head and was like “huh? marriage? What for?”

I mean, he’s been alone long enough he’d be the kind to really not think about it until someone else mentioned it

You weren’t mad at the reaction per se, but you walked off to let him think it over

And he did. He spent a lot of time thinking over it, trying to figure out where to get a ring--it’s not like he can ask an abyss herald or anything-- and working through how people do the marriage thing this many years after the downfall of Khaenri’ah

When he proposes, you’ve all but forgotten about the conversation, so you’re pleasantly surprised when he takes a knee and asks you to marry him

Unlike Xiao he’s super formal about it. As the Twilight sword, he’s no stranger to ceremony and formality and as direct as he is, you’re worth it

He’s actually scared when you don’t reply immediately, but gives you a rare wide smile when you accept

Zhongli

This guy has his shit together

Like, I still don’t entirely how his “those who renege on their contracts face the wrath of the rock” thing  works in a relationship but he’s not nearly as... inexperienced with people as Dain and Xiao are

100% done according to Liyue tradition. What that tradition is, I have no idea, but I can imagine it being  a warm spring evening

The two of you are on a walk enjoying the wonderful weather when he leads you to a less visible place (Can’t see him letting others see what should be an intimate moment)

When he’s sure that the two of you won’t be disturbed, he gets down on one knee and pops the question

When you say yes he gives you one of his amazing close-eyed smiles

He’s lived for 6000 years, but this is going to be one off the memories he treasures most

SURPRISE!! I MADE AN INTERACTIVE THING^_^

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

Absolutely horrible thought for the night:

You've heard the sad fan theory that Movie Ambrosius was gonna propose after the Knighting, now consider the even worse:

Comic Ballister was planning to propose after the joust. He was making preparations to dedicate his life to his partner when he blew him up.

Omg hi Ms. Yellow Caballero big fan of your work <3 For real though, I'm really excited that your sharing the Weekenders, it was a joy to read and I'm bongocat-ing now that others also get the privilege to read it as well.

Referencing your tags, would you please elaborate of ableism in fandom and, like you said, how fandom treats characters with unpalatable disabilities?

Hi Ms. Bud Lite I'm a big fan of you <3

TL;DR A fear of writing characters of highly marginalized identities shields you from criticism and discomfort, but it's actively stigmatizing to people of these identities and as a writer you really need to get over yourself and write The Icky People.

I guess I'll come out swinging on this one and say that fandom doesn't like severe mental illness. (As a note, when I say severe mental illness (SMI) I mean illnesses such as psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, personality disorders, etc)

Obviously, nobody likes people w/SMI. It's just insanely egregious in fandom to me, since fanfic writers absolutely love writing characters or HC characters with depression, anxiety, or a specific variety of PTSD That Isn't Scary. People actively reject any character HCs for a SMI. When people write a character with SMI, they nicely downplay it, ignore it, substitute it for a disorder they like better, or rewrite it. It's completely untolerated, in both headcanons and in fanfiction, and every time I bring it up I always get the most interesting reasons why somebody couldn't possibly acknowledge a character's SMI in their writing. I've heard all of these:

"I don't know enough about the disorder to write it accurately." Do research.

"I'm not X, so I can't really depict it." You probably aren't a cis white man, but you depict those guys just fine.

"It feels insulting to the character." There is no shame in having a SMI.

"I can't understand what it's like, so it's better to be cautious and avoid giving characters stigmatized identities." There are LOTS of experiences that you'll never understand because you've never had them - you just don't want to write anything you're uncomfortable with. People with SMI make you uncomfortable, and you don't want to write anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, or think of a comfort character in an uncomfortable way. SMIs are marginalized differently than solely depression/anxiety/The Nice PTSD, and by refusing to write them you're actively contributing to the stigma.

I think (?) I've spoken in the past about how I believe that the rigorous external and internal policing of writing people of marginalized identities is actively harmful towards efforts to increase diversity of experience and background in fiction. A lot of fanfiction writers are just terrified to write people who they can't directly relate with, because they're worried 'they'll get it wrong' and be Big Cancelled. I think this is negative enough when it prevents people from going outside of their comfort zone, but on a macro level I think this results in people refusing to write characters of marginalized identities as all. It's an insidious thought process, and it's reflected in people's unwillingness to diversity their writing or acknowledge canon diversity.

'Well, I don't understand what it's like to be Black, so I don't want to write Black people'. 'I want to project on this character, so I only want to write them with mental illnesses and identities I have'. 'If I write a marginalized character incorrectly people will yell at me, so I won't write a marginalized character who's marginalized differently than me at all'. Can you imagine writing a lesbian character with a boyfriend because 'you feel uncomfortable writing lesbian experiences'? It's blatantly homophobic. But people do that with disability and race/ethnicity ALL THE TIME.

People with SMI notice that you feel uncomfortable with them. It's obvious. They notice when a character has a SMI + anxiety, and you only write their anxiety. They notice when a character displays symptoms of a SMI in canon, but you write it out. And POC notice when the characters of color are written out. I know we all like to project on the blorbos and relate to them, and in the joys of your own head do whatever, but as a writer if you only stick to identities you're comfortable with you are actively being a worse writer. Which to me is the REAL sin lmfao.

False as a zombie (but with stitches)?

Dried blood. Stone dust. The roof of her lab, and visible through it, the sky. That was bad. Everything felt hazy, incomplete.

There was pain, somewhat faint and fuzzy, reanimated nerves panicking all through the left side of her body. Everything on her right, meanwhile, was numb. She tried moving, scrabbled the stiff fingers of the hand she could feel against the rubble beneath her.

Something was wrong. She couldn't think clearly. There was a hole in her head. What had happened? She had been- she had been-?

After a few tries, she managed to brace her hand against the ground; found the strength in dead muscles, somehow, to lever herself clumsily upward. Once partly upright, though, alarm bells sounded inside her head, increasingly urgent- something was very wrong with her balance, her center of gravity. She sagged to one side, nearly collapsed to the ground again.

Something was missing. Something was wrong. All the sensations in her body seemed confused. It was very hard to move.

She cast her head around, disoriented and confused, and caught the reflection of her movement in a glass-fronted cabinet against the opposite wall. She froze, stared until she could parse out what was wrong with her own silhouette.

Ah. That explained why she couldn't feel anything on her other side.

Half of her was missing.

One arm. One leg. Her innards spilling out of her bisected torso. Only half of her face.

She looked around, holding her fragile head upright with her one remaining hand, but she couldn't see any scattered limbs, no fingers or hair beneath the chunks of debris.

Half of her was missing, and she had no idea where it had gone.

[i-write-boop-spoops]

i wouldn't put it past you and steven to randomly elope. like, one day, a couple years into your relationships, maybe you're engaged, maybe you're not, and you're about to go on another one of your trips, when one of you is like "let's get married" 🥰

can you just imagine it? the two of you (and the officiant too ig), somewhere secluded and picturesque, sharing your love together and sancitfying your union, away from prying eyes...

i'd imagine you'd still have a wedding later on, with a fancy reception and all your loved ones and guests. i also imagine, you'd eloped secretly too

do NOT tell joseph you eloped. he WILL have a heart attack if he finds out he wasn't at his son's real wedding.

even if elopinng was your idea, he'd still blame steven. and steven? he's not going to hear the end of it. he doesn't regret it one bit though!

[masked-alien-lesbian]

Chibi Hana Lee proposing to Raelyn! By @sazanes thank you so so so much! They're both so beautiful!

[pjsk-headcanons]

<<TW SELF HARM AND CHILD ABUSE MENTION>>

both ena and akito sh, akito cuts and ena bites herself. akito cuts because its more precise and he can hide it better, ena started biting as a nervous tic and realized she liked how it vented her anger.

akito is deathly afraid of shinodad finding out since hes convinced he'll get yelled at for "being dramatic". ena sort of wants shinodad to find out so maybe he could understand how much he hurt her.

(neither of them know the other hurts themself)

(akito has only told an, toya, and ken, but mizuki can tell. ena hasnt told anyone but airi way back when, niigo knows anyway.)

(also they both wish in the back of their minds the other will find out on accident someday and start doting on them out of pity)

(don't worry they work through this eventually)

bf!lyney headcannons!

after a while of dating, your dear bf thought it was the perfect time to do this...

bf!lyney x m!reader

author's note: hehe hi again anywayyy so something on the poll which ALMOST won was him proposing to you so let's just say i wanted to do it next<3

"will you marry me?"

-he would call you to come to the most beautiful and most expensive restaurant in all of Fontaine.

-it's not the first time you've been there with him but he's been acting VERY weirdly throughout the night

-he seemed very nervous, as if there was something he wanted to tell you but just couldn't

-"lyney, is there something you'd want to tell me? you seem... nervous?" you asked, hoping he would be honest

-"huh? n-no! of course not! what would i be hiding from you, mon trésor?"

-"alright, if you say so..." you were still suspicious of him but decided to keep quiet, and to not rush him at anything

-after finally finishing the fancy dinner,

-you two walked together, hand in hand, towards the beach.

-it was nighttime, around 11pm, and the only light there was, was the moonlight.

-if was shining on lyney's face... he looked like an angel...

-not like the "fatui lyney" , not like the "greatest magician in all of Teyvat" , not even like "just lyney"...

-instead, like an angel...

-"come, let's watch the moonlight's reflection on the water!" he called you, as he stood closer to the waves

-"alright!" you stood next to him, watching the reflection... it was truly mesmerizing

-but not more mesmerizing than lyney's eyes which were switching between the moon and you, visibly being nervous.

-"i-uh... mon cœur, i have a... uh... q-question..." he stuttered as he finally said the words. he couldn't believe this was happening.

-but it was time he had to do it.

-"ask away, lyn." you turned to him, but he was just looking at the sand beneath them, while his heart was beating out of his chest

-"i... um... i-uhm... c-can you c-close your eyes?..." he thought that, maybe, just maybe, it would be easier if you weren't looking at him with your curious eyes

-"hmm... okay?..." you closed your eyes and stood there, waiting for him to continue

-"okay... s-stay like that until i tell y-you to open them again..." you could just hear the worry in his voice.

-this was a big thing for him, yet you were for patient with him...

-he admired you for that.

-then, he slowly got down on one knee, pulling out a little red box with a shiny ruby ring inside.

-but he didn't tell you to open your eyes just yet.

-no, he was scared.

-what if you weren't ready?

-what if you said no?

-so many scenarios ran through his head...

-but he didn't get through so much with you for nothing.

-the only thing in his mind were the words "now or never." which were the last ones that lynette said to him before he left for the date.

-slowly, he calmed his breath, but still had a racing heartbeat.

-even his eyes were a little watery, but he hoped you wouldn't see that.

-"o-open your eyes...!" he finally stuttered out.

-it was only a small relief.

-but now you were on the verge of tears, not him.

-"will you marry me, mon amour? t-to be my future h-husband?..." he asked, such a tone in his voice... you've never heard it before.

-you blinked a few times, to believe that it was even real.

-"yes, lyney!" you smiled warmly at him, a crying a bit.

-he quickly helped you put the ring on and then hugged you tight, starting to cry himself...

-he was so happy... all of this seemed like a dream to him...

-"i love you so much, mon amour..." now he was definitely crying... he didn't care. he was happy.

-"i love you just as much, my dear lyney..." you two hugged each other tight, with a few kisses here and there.

-the two of you stayed like that for a little longer, feeling as good as ever...

-the whole entire aura around you would make anyone feel better... but lyney didn't want anyone witnessing him crying, no matter the situation...

-but thankfully, the only one who saw you two, was the hole of light in the sky, shining down on the two of you...

yes that IS a mitski reference at the end(she's my fave singer<3)

I LOVE THIS ONE SM.

i put all my literal effort into this one it's so cute abdbwhfbs tysm for reading and supporting me by liking my posts or just reading them at all🫶

[generic-sonic-fan]

Fics I'll never write:

Shadow and Omega get into a fight one day and Shadow ends the fight with "why are you so angry and unreasonable all the time, huh? Everyone says I needed a therapist, why don't YOU go see a therapist?" To which Omega laughs, of course, until Shadow says "I bet you wouldn't even last one second in a therapist's office."

So of course, E-123 "can't say no to any sort of challenge from the ultimate lifeform" Omega parks himself in the office of the specially-licensed GUN therapist the next morning.

And then the rest of the fic is from the baffled perspective of this poor therapist trying to figure out robot psychology. Both she and Omega are in agreement at first that therapy probably won't work on him since he's just a robot and that it'd be better for him to see a programmer-

-until the therapist starts to see some behaviors that look an awful lot like abandonment issues. And she has to convince both Omega himself and everyone else in her department that she's onto something and that talk therapy might actually increase his efficiency on the battlefield.

[wolftozier]

I am of the opinion that richie tozier has probably had his ideal marriage proposal to eddie planned out since at least high school. he's got a speech. he has a ring. he's booked and cancelled reservations at a nice restaurant ten or twelve times. he's just waiting for the perfect time. which never comes bc eddie beats him to it
