i still haven't finished penacony yet, please don't put any spoilers about it on here.

he's been dancing a lot in his dream lately. he's been dreaming more frequently lately. ever since the astral express the luofu, actually. there's been rumors of them returning soon but yanqing has never been one to entertain rumors. right now, he's dancing all by himself in a garden.

it looks like... fyxestroll garden. except without the mist and with more colors. there's a river going through the garden that surrounds the little pavillion he dances in. the moon is large and shines its light down upon him.

he wonders why he's been dreaming about dancing lately. could it be because of the upcoming war dance. the general has talked about finally introducing him to lady yunli. whenever he talks about the two of them meeting, it feels like he would like to set them up on a date. perhaps he and the general of the zhuming are planning a future elopement between the two?

he can't help but feel sick to his stomach whenever the general talks like that. it makes him dread meeting lady yunli. his heart is already taken, he knows this. he dances by himself until those who own his heart take their places in this dance.

a hand touches his hip while another touches his shoulder. he is now being led by another. he wasn't panicked at all, he felt at ease. yes, this was one of those who owned his heart. he looked up to see blue hair and purple eyes who looked at him as though he parted the clouds to let the moon shine upon them. his hair feels longer than usual.

they danced a simple little waltz, no words spoken between them. there didn't need to be. they were at peace. that was all that mattered.

unfortunately, dreams must come to an end.

"did you have a good dream, my dearest moon?"

that same boy sat in the chair beside his bed. he looked at him with that same look as before. the world was tinted in green. he didn't have time to speak before the boy spoke again.

"our dearest sun will be arriving soon, i wouldn't want to delay your reunion. soon we shall see each other again."

the world returned to normal and the boy disappeared.

right, the representatives from belobog will be arriving in some system hours.

---

clara dances around with mr. svarog. he twirls her around and guides her to another part of the ballroom. right now she's a princess who is celebrating her birthday. everyone she knows is attending and also dancing.

ms. bronya and ms. seelee bicker about something as they dance. luka is trying so hard not to bump in to mr. gepard. big sister dances beautifully with big sister march. the moles are holding hands and spinning around in a circle as ms. natasha watches over them. the robots are having their own little dance circles.

the sun shines through the windows, casting a beautiful light in the room. she's been dreaming this dream a lot lately.

mr. svarog twirls her again and she's caught in the embrace of another. she looks up to see a boy with blue hair and purple eyes that looks at her as though she's the reason the sun shines down upon them. he gently guides her in their waltz and no one pays them any mind. it's peaceful. her hair feels shorter than usual.

no words had to be spoken, just smiles and dancing. this dream might be her favorite yet.

unfortunately she has to wake up.

"how was that dream, my dearest sun?"

the boy sat at the foot of her bed with that same look. the world was tinted in green. he spoke again.

"our dearest moon is awaiting your arrival, i cannot wait to see your reunion. do not worry, we shall all see each other again soon."

the world returned to normal and the boy disappeared.

right, she's on her way to the xianzhou luofu as one of the representatives of belobog.

---

all he can think of when he sees her is

"our dearest sun."

---

all she can think of when she sees him is

"our dearest moon."

#sword of an hour long past au #honkai star rail #yanqing #hsr yanqing #clara #hsr clara #misha #hsr misha #clarmishqing #they're reuniting!!!#i wonder what happened on penacony for that boy to appear...#(yes i got spoilered about what happens to misha but that it)#(please don't leave any spoilers about penacony under this)#ngl i don't see the hype behind yunli x yanqing #they are sworn rivals in my eyes #reluctant friends if anything #man misha sure is reminding me of someone who's name starts with p right now #and also r but that's not until later

Something about curling up next to Steve and falling asleep next to him on the couch, but it doesn't mean anything because he's a good friend and he makes you feel safe.

Something about flirting with Steve, but it doesn't mean anything because it's just joking around between two friends.

Something about accidentally kissing when you're both high, but it doesn't mean anything because Eddie was daring you two to.

Something about getting drunk and making out with Steve, but it doesn't mean anything you just know he's a good kisser.

Something about you and Steve making out while sober, but it doesn't mean anything because you were just testing to see if the chemistry was still there.

Something about Steve helping you take off your clothes, but it doesn't mean anything because Steve's now taking off his.

Something about Steve moaning in your ear as he thrusts in you, but it doesn't mean anything as you dig your fingers into his back and scratch.

Something about Steve holding you close and kissing your forehead murmuring how beautiful and pretty you are, but it doesn't mean anything.

It means everything and you can't keep lying to yourself.

#Something about friends who both love each other but are reluctant to say it because they are afraid things will change #But they slowly blur the lines under “it doesn't mean anything we're just two pals two buddies haha anything for a friend”#As if they wouldn't give anything to be with the other person #Anyways these are my thoughts this fine day #I have a few fics I am working on....so be on the lookout for that...okay love you bye #Steve Harrington #Steve Harrington x reader #Steve Harrington x you #Steve Harrington x y/n #Steve Harrington/reader #Steve Harrington/you #Jade is Talking

People make truth potions soooo serious. Personally if a friend said ‘I like you’ or ‘I love you’ it would be considered something sweet since they cannot lie and didn’t say ‘I hate you’. Not a confession of romantic love that the world must now be staked on as it is acted out

#same as drunk confessions like bro. BRO. be nice and be cool #you should love your friends #what’s the issue #and even if it was a confession of romance or lust well they’re under forced conditions #be nice that they were forced to reveal things they otherwise wouldn’t #what’s hard to understand here #they like you and love you. obviously???#people tend to not spend their free time with people they don’t like????#anyway friendship is cool and truth serum should be less embarrassing over nothing #truth serum deserves better than being a plot device #personally if someone doubled over trying not to say the words ‘I like you’ I think they’d need a tap on the head #it’s not a confession it just sounds like they were reluctant to confess something harmless #and unspoken of I suppose??#isn’t the concern that they’re forced to say anything at all much more harrowing than saying nice things about a friend

#p4 #p4g #persona 4 #persona 4 golden #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #weak when i think about early yosuke constantly living under the surveillance of the townpeople #in a way it kind of explains his reluctance in trying to connect with them (like in the magician manga) which is itself very complex #but for someone who's always on the lookout #for someone whos constantly checking his own behaviour and making sure hes not doing anything that could be perceived as negative #even if he did want to become better friends with kou and daisuke its hard to extend any trust to them #yosuke didnt understand why they were trying to be friendly with him -- to some extent i think its because he just didnt trust them #that they weren't trying to get him to relax so he would do something wrong and then inaba will have one more reason to dislike him #its an overthinking thing!!!#but with yu? he can relax a little because he doesn't expect yu to betray him in that manner.#at the end of the day #after the liquor store and the shadow yosuke incident #yosuke KNOWS that yu is someone that has his back #amd maybe that knowledge is still a little tentative because hes still unwilling to be fully honest with yu during their early friendship #but deep down he has the evidence that yu is on his side. he wants to believe that yu will continue to be on his side. :')#and this first friendship is what enables him to actually form more meaningful bonds with other people #i mean. after saki and the blowback from him trying to connect with saki.#is it any wonder that he's a bit reticent #but ah look. hes still doing that thing where he puts on an air of nonchalance and confidence and plays it off with a joke #even as it bothers him. :')#he's good with his queue

Honestly, getting real tired carrying and supporting other folks around here when most of them aren't returning the favor...

#i'm two seconds away from nuking everything in my queue and drafts out of spite #but i don't feel good about that bc there's innocent collateral #this is tumblr‚ the place you're supposed to fucking share the stuff that your friend's and other people are making #and i get it‚ it's not possible to like and reblog everything here‚ i understand that and i'm not expecting that #it just sucks constantly feeling like no one gives a shit about the stuff you're proud of and put effort into‚ y'know?#there's an entire subsection of this fandom that basically ignores any vper that isn't running modded on pc #which is like half the fucking fandom and i definitely pissed some of those people off just for choosing who i associate with #i've been writing in this fandom for three years now and i still don't feel like i have any fucking writing friends #or a good place to get technical support #the writing associates i do have either don't read anything i write or when they do won't comment for some inexplicable reason #(if you're an author on ao3 you know‚ first hand‚ damn well how much comments mean to authors‚ so what's the deal?)#(if you actually don't like it‚ it's fine‚ don't even touch the kudos button‚ no one has to know you were there)#i'm traumatized from my previous discord experiences and am very reluctant to let people into my circle without vetting them first #even tumblr communities is a struggle for me because it still feels a like a popularity/social influence contest #and i know i'm fucking slow #sue me for having a life outside of the internet and wanting to be mindful and thoughtfully engaged with other people's artwork #i talk to people in the tags #i've been leaving comments on every fic i read now #i'm not expecting people to bend over backwards for me #but fostering community and friendships requires mutual exchange #and it's shitty feeling like you're generosity is constantly being fucking wasted #i'm trying to keep it fun around here but a lot aren't helping with that and this isn't a job for one person #sorry not sorry for the rant but i've been feeling very salty about this as of late #i know the holidays can be stressful and the fandom in general has been slowly shrinking which has probably exacerbated these issues #a lot of folks have moved on #but these issues have always been here and they aren't magically going to go away unless people work on them #i'm not expecting anything i make to break the bank at this point but when your friends won't even put your crappy art on the fridge anymor #like why are we here?#i also don't understand the people who are following me but never interact with anything i make???#rambling into the void

still picking enthusiastically over the in-game implications of having control over server code and the damage it could do, except it would be interesting to no one but me. but still i chew on it. the second you break players down into components it becomes so easy to fuck them up. you could just turn off breathing. accidentally. GOD

#serenblabs #this is very peripherally life series #and hermitcraft adjacent #but i think about fanon watcher lore right #maybe you have a young watcher learning how to manipulate code #read: an intro to cs student messing around with a terminal for the first time #the consequences of rm rf are disastrous.#the consequences of MV #freaking MV #in a watcher scenario are WORSE #because the SECOND you break a dependency -#ESPECIALLY if all the players are hooked up to a player class or a service #that provides common functions like BREATHING -#breaking any of those dependencies would be lethal #so i am just sitting here with this really strong mental image #of a young grian learning how to be a watcher #dipping his hands into the codebase of a server absolutely terrified #and misexecuting a command as all students do #and killing every single player on the server.#god.#it would make him so reluctant to do Anything on hermitcraft #the second you characterize coding objects…god it’s so tasty #not even just general damage say a fellow player gets hurt and you try to help them #one fucking curly boy in the wrong place #}#and suddenly your best friend goodtimeswithscar glitches out of existence #fuck up a for loop and it’s over!#feed in a bad parameter and suddenly your good buddy pal scar is like. unable to replenish hunger.#that would be a bad conditional actually but yknow.#you could do so much damage!

joyous day i get to go to miku expo tomorrow however due to my devastating lack of a large friend circle all of my friends who i asked to go with me cancelled and now i have to attend the hatsune miku concert with my father

#is this humiliating for me as a grown ass adult yes so im trying to recon with it by making jokes.#he doesn't know anything about it he's just a giant tech nerd so when i said the performer is a projection he immediately volunteered lmao #i need more friends sigh. nothing against my dad im sure he understands why im reluctant i appreciate his willingness nonetheless

Love when plans get cancelled last minute 🙃

#ace is a grumpy bean #supposed to be meeting college friends and ten minutes before i need to leave to meet them one of them messages that actually #theyve been feeling unwell all day which they didnt mention this morning when the other said that they were having car troubles #and now that its the time were supposed to be meeting they wont definitively decide whether theyre not coming out or not #like a lil heads up maybe? or at least a definitive answer? im leaving tomorrow morning so i need to pack #but i cant do anything until someone answers #edit: friend with car troubles wouldnt respond to gc about whether or not they were coming or to texts #unwell friend said theyd wait to hear from them about whether to cancel or go anyway and finally hour later they responded #apparently theyd been asleep the whole time 🙃#it wouldnt have been super convenient to meet up tonight for drinks anyway as i need to pack and i did see them once already #and it woulda been fun to see them again but theyre always so reluctant during the planning process so its just a lil annoying

Ill have you know i am a brown himejoshi

I like that Chilchuck says that he only stayed on to help with Falin bc he was paid upfront so couldn’t quit when he wanted to, but later admits to the orc teen that he could’ve quit, and didn’t because he was too stubborn to let her go. And the reason he regretted it was because he felt like by having that hope he ended up putting his friends in danger. And then also out of everyone in the party he was the one who ended up breaking down in tears because he wasn’t able to handle watching his friends risk their lives. That man cares more than anyone he just can’t drop his hatersona. Life is agony for repressed middle aged people who love deeply.

#Also not quite what I’m saying #I mean sort of but not exactly #I don’t think he’s embarrassed or shy about caring for his friends #I think it’s more that he still has issues with trusting his party bc of past experiences with other people he’s worked with #Which make him reluctant to say anything that could get him into a situation where he’s taken advantage of #Also it’s weird to call me white because i did character analysis #Like I’m creole I just have thoughts sometimes

#msftscar #//I feel that it'd be hard for them to be really close or anything since I think trying to get close to jnx #is like pulling teeth and their antagonistic past doesn't exactly help that #but I could see in the beginning a reluctant sort of friendship-adjacent thing for them in beginning #both trusting each other as far as they can throw them but also going into battle together #when the needs presented itself #kinda like reluctant friends and allies #some trust forms down the line because of their individual bonds with ek/ko #but definitely takes a while to not feel like they're at odds in one way or another ; old habits die hard and all sjsjs #also down for AUs for them though where they might've had a better friendship if jnx hadn't went down the road she did

The way that I would love to write about these two in a fanwork? I would love to ramble about them whenever given the chance! 👀

*Casually inserts some vintage World War II-era romance between Muriel and Eustace in the tags*
