LANTERN RITE CELEBRATION IN SUMERU starring ✧ zeno (cyno x zebra)

a surprise celebration, the scent of spices from home, a gifted qipao, tears of gratitude and long hugs, plump dumplings with imperfect folds, citrusy spray of peeled tangerines, lit sparklers burning in the night, a quiet walk to light lanterns in remembrance.

it's the first year that I won't be able to go home to see my family around the winter holidays, so I start to feel especially homesick when the Lantern Rite Festival is approaching. I end up telling this to Cyno—who I've started to become closer with lately—while we're both doing our own research in the library. he nods as he listens and looks oddly contemplative the rest of the day, but I don't think much of it.

on the day of Lantern Rite, Nilou delivers me a note from Cyno, inviting me to his home to spend time with our friends. I nearly decide to not go, but being surrounded by friends might make me forget about missing my family.

the sun is setting by the time I arrive at his home. the air carries a hint of star anise and other spices that remind me of my mother's cooking. when Cyno opens the door, I'm hit with scents of traditional Liyue dishes, but that is forgotten when I take in what Cyno is wearing. he's dressed in purples and gold—his usual colors—but he's wearing a qipao. his hair is half up in a knot, held up with a ribbon. he's handsome, but I won't admit that—at least, not to his face, and not anytime soon.

he holds out his hands, a slip of red between his fingers. "happy Lantern Rite," he says. "this is for you."

tears start to well in my eyes but I laugh, accepting the red envelope with a bow. "I haven't received one of these in years! Cyno, what is all of this?"

Nilou appears behind him, dressed in a qipao herself, and when she sees me crying, she throws herself at me in a hug. "he spent days preparing this for you! we all wanted to make sure you still got to celebrate the holiday. now come, you have to get changed!"

she pulls me inside, and all I can do is give Cyno a teary-eyed smile and mouth a "thank you," before a pink qipao is thrusted into my arms. I find out later that all my friends bought clothes from Dori, but Cyno was the one who picked mine out.

when I'm changed, I step outside to greet everyone else—Alhaitham, Tighnari, Kaveh, and Collei are there as well. we spend a while making dumplings, where I get involved in a debate about how to make the best folds, and though our dumplings are all a bit misshapen and overfilled, they're the best thing I've tasted in a long time.

there are other traditional Liyue dishes and snacks that they've made or purchased beforehand. we end dinner by eating oranges, to usher in wealth in the new year.

after dinner, we go outside and light sparklers, waving them around in the air. Nilou chases Kaveh around with hers, making the rest of us laugh.

Cyno ends up asking me if I'd like to take a walk with him, so we step away, talking as we end up finding a nice spot on the Divine Tree, overlooking much of Sumeru. he pulls out two lanterns from beneath a nearby bench that he had prepared in advance. we light them, both of us quiet and contemplative. they float away when we release them, drifting up and up, light growing smaller, until they are indistinguishable among the stars.

"thank you, Cyno." my eyes are getting teary again as I turn to him, but my heart feels like it's overflowing with the love I've been shown today.

he smiles, then, soft and small but genuinely happy. "I didn't want you to be alone today. I hope this helped bring a bit of home to you."

I throw my arms around him, tears starting to fall. he hesitates, then wraps his arms around me, warm and strong against my back. he lets me cry until my tears stop, releasing me when I finally pull away.

we walk back to his home, where I'm surrounded by friends and warmth all night long.

💜 for the music ask game! :3

Zenos yae Galvus would listen to either classical or New Wave

Jaskier likes either mainstream pop music [but like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan]

Jake Peralta likes rap or indie rock

James [from TEOTFW] likes Britpop and New Wave

Elliott [SDV] listens to classical

[lofixivnebulae]

“So delicate…soft and…tender. Surely this isn’t the beast I’ve sparred against…surely, the heat of battle isn’t this quiet…”

“And yet, I want to know- I need to be sure that this is still you— if I do this- would you still be willing. Would you still fight with the same gusto…would the flame echo quite as large- when met with the same blazing fire…just…maybe softer…”

“You mean love?”

“I don’t know what that word means, my demon.”

“My name is Helli, and that feeling in your chest…is it…hot and kind?”

“It’s…strange. And I can’t place it. I want to break you. Maim and carve your treasures same as the day I first laid eyes on you…but the cavities inside me are…full instead. Full of…soft feelings.”

“Zenos, whatever you’re feeling— I’d let you carve me. I’d let you rip and tear- drink deep of my neck… and do so in knowing you’d draw sustenance from my body…”

“Is this that wretched feeling?”

“Is it?”

“Helli—“

“…Is it?”

big dumb ramble about the lore in the newest daima episode under the cut

yeah the lore in this episode is kinda dumb. the lore in like episode episode 8 with them retconning buu's backstory was also kinda dumb, but this new stuff in episode ten kinda goes against lore in DBZ and DBS.

like did we need to make up two whole new dudes to explain where the multiverse came from? why not just say zeno made the multiverse, hes the fucking omni king. and if the rebuttal is "well this is before super so some of the characters cant know about zeno so soon" then don't actively name drop zeno, play into the msytery of zeno by just showing his sillhouette. it would also work this way because very few of the kais have met zeno, but they obviously know of him and fear him. i'm one of the few DB fans who like zeno, it would be nice if he had some lore to explain why everybody shits bricks when they see him outside of "he can destroy everything"

also the reasoning of the multiverse being made just so some demon king could have more Free Real Estate is stupid, not even the classic Toriyama DB funny stupid, just nornal stupid. again, they could have subtly expanded on zeno's lore but don't because goku isnt supposed to know who he is until super, which is a really dumb excuse.

i actually don't mind the idea that the kais (still not calling them glinds) will eventually die out because it has some good drama, but also casts parts of the zamasu saga in a new light. but even it is kinda dumb; because remember that these guys are connected to the GoDs, and you'd think the kais, who are dedicated to universal balance, would try and find a way to prevent their race from going extinct instead of just resigning themselve to their fate. but this is more of a nitpick, maybe later on they'll address this later, or maybe they won't. either way this revelation means that every zamasu or shin selfship fanchild is technically keeping the kai race from eventually dying out, and i think thats really funny if theres any supreme kai selfshippers out there, make those fankids, you're saving a species from extinction.

but yeah the lore could have been better

Hero in an All Villian High School AU.

I will be releasing selfshipping shorts in a same manner the roblox stories go. I hope this isn't cringe. Here's the story.

Everyone got 5 Hour Detentions For One Thing or Another.

The Cells got Detention because they kept fighting each other during class.

Zeno came to detention on his own because he hates learning

Salza started a fight with Jeice because (apparently Salza was flirting with Jeice's girlfriend or something.)

Degesu and Gomah got detention for mingling with witchcraft on school grounds.

Paragus was forced into Detention by Frieza (For whatever reason)

Baby got detention for stealing Orion Black's Body.

Commander Red cheated off someone's test.

BoJack got detention and Dabura went along because the two are dating currently. So whenever one gets Detention the other went.

I might make this an actual comic series lol.

chilly winter air, meandering from stall to stall, crisp and sweet churros, live christmas music, buying cute gifts for friends, warm and cheesy pretzels, sea of glimmering lights, a kiss to end the night.

zebra: cyno, there are too many flavors! how am i supposed to pick just one?

cyno: we're almost at the front of the line, my love. you’ll have to choose.

zebra: noooo! i'm still deciding between two of them.

cyno: which two are your favorites? we can order both to share.

zebra: really? that's perfect, thank you!

[astrxealis]

interestingly, i'm bad w selfshipping w villains/antags

[bitty-bytes]

Hi! I'm Bitty! My main Tumblr is rimeofthestars. I'm a 25 year old with she/her pronouns who is mostly straight, but a strong ally of LGBTQ+.

I am willing to share any and all of my F/Os! Ask me about my selfships, I can gush about my men all day!!!

♡Meet The Squad♡

Shieda Kayn (Source: League of Legends)

My main man. My skrungly scrimblo. He's everything to me. Oh and Rhaast is there too.

S/I: Tsubame, a fellow acolyte in the Order of Shadow.

Sett (Source: League of Legends)

Another very good boy! He could probably snap me in half like a twig if he hugged me too tightly but he's super gentle with me actually.

S/I: Mielle, a traveling vastayan medic.

Hades (Source: Kid Icarus Uprising)

A character I love so much that I wrote entire made-up lore for him! Yes, he's a villain, but he's just a silly little guy. :) {except he isn't but yknow} Probably my second largest selfship behind Kayn.

S/I: Persephone, a descendant of an ancient order that worshipped Hades in the past.

Guzma (Source: Pokemon Sun and Moon)

My punk crime boyfriend. He was one of my first selfships, and to this day, I love him to bits.

S/I: Laila, a Team Skull grunt who comes from a well-off family that treated her like a doll, to the point she ran away.

Niles (Source: Fire Emblem Fates)

One of my guilty pleasures is this guy. The more I learned about him through support conversations in the game, the more I fell for him. He deserves to be happy.

S/I: Honestly, I just live vicariously through Corrin.

Zelkov (Source: Fire Emblem Engage)

My boyfriend, who probably hasn't slept in a week. I was so sad they made his S support platonic. :( I really love this man.

S/I: Carol, a traveling artist from Firene who ends up being saved by Zelkov from bandits. Finds inspiration comes to her often with him around.

Lucas (Source: Rune Factory 5)

I love this man so much omg. I live for him being unintentionally funny yet also strangely wise and majestic in his own way. I immediately started romancing him as soon as I beat the main story. Bless this man.

S/I: Luna, a teacher and founder of an orphanage. At first fascinated by Lucas's sleight of hand magic tricks, she can't help but feel something truly mysterious and wonderous about him. Almost as if his magic 'tricks' are something much more...

Zenos yae Galvus (Source: Final Fantasy XIV)

At first, I thought he was a pretty standard antagonist. Then he removed his helmet, and I was instantly floored by how pretty he was. He's a little fucked up but I'm no stranger to that lol.

S/I: Ophelia, my character/Warrior of Light ingame. An elezen sage with a gentle yet strong heart. At first, she hated his guts... but she slowly fell for him over time. Definitely an enemies to lovers situation.

16 ~ what are your favourite cute petnames to call your f/o?

Fun fact, only a few have pet names, some because I just like saying their name, some because I thought 'hehe this is cute!" Or some are just pet names they already have.

- G'raha is clearly 'Raha. <3 Everyone calls him that, but it's cute so who wouldn't! - Zenos and Dualscar sort of share one? There is a sort of 'thrill of the chase' aspect to them that makes me call them both 'dear hunter'! - Lady Dimitrescu has one, moooostly because i like buttering up the tall wife! Its nothing grand, a simple sweet 'My Dear Lady.'

10 ~ would you and your f/o ever dress up in a couples costume for Halloween or other events? what would you dress up as?

YES YES YES! The couple costume depends on the F/O of course! Some of them may be hard to convince though. Estinien and Dualscar for sure are hard to get to dress up. Garr is a little easier, but getting him into a costume that FITS HIM is the real challenge.

Actually It may be hard to get Raditz in a costume too...

As for the costumes themselves, I'll name a few.

G'raha and I dress as Each other! Of course he's short, so his clothing is a tight fit for me but I'd love to see him in my favorite glamour.

Raditz and I are Tarzan and Jane because haha monkey.

Garr and I are Belle and Beats.

Psii and I are bees. Cept he's secretly just Barry B. Benson.

ATTENDING A WINTER BALL twelve days of selfshipmas ✧ day eleven ✧ cyno x zebra

slight nerves and reassuring glances, constantly hand in hand, trips to the buffet, dancing slowly in our own corner of the room, finding friends to chat with, his cape over my shoulders when i get cold.

zebra: i didn't know we'd be so good at dancing, but here we are!

cyno: i had faith in us, love.

zebra: you asked kaveh for help, didn't you?

cyno: and you talked to nilou, but i wasn't going to mention it.

zebra: hehe, sorry, cyno. well, asking our friends payed off!

cyno: that it did. i wouldn't be able to admire how your eyes light up when your dress flares out during the spins if i hadn't.

[tartagliove]

something something Cyno gets all our friends together and organizes a little Lantern Rite celebration for me because I mention that I get homesick around this time of year...
