Thoughts on Akesumi?

not my cup of tea romantically but i do love their platonic dynamic

[harbingersglory]

Thoughts on transfem Ningguang with a fem!reader whose her bodyguard? Fem!reader whose like a loyal, protective dog out in the world when they're out and about together, but an utter submissive puppy behind closed doors for the Tianquan?

literally shaking like a chihuahua oh what i'd do to be the Tianquan's lap dog..mean femmes are so attractive its like putting my brain in a blender.

It's not surprising the Tianquan has a bodyguard. She's a key political figure in Liyue and anyone aiming to dismantle the carefully curated hierarchy has her at the top of the list. To the public, your just muscle to intimidate the lesser crooks from even thinking about it and deal with those who get too bold.

Behind closed doors, though? Your nothing but the Tianquan's lap dog at her beck and call.

She isn't fond of public displays, but she does like hiding it in public just for the thrill. Knowing you wear your collar under your uniform so you'll always remember who holds your leash is a thrill she can't beat.

She's a bit mean and sadistic, really, but she's the Tianquan. She has the money to spoil you like a good puppy afterwards..so long as you behave and exceed expectations. Whether you lean more dominant or submissive doesn't matter, since you'll probably be subbing whether your top or bottom. It's a different kind of thrill to make you sit on her lap, stuffed full of her cock, while she works. That or she has you under her desk, one hand fisted in your hair while she uses your mouth instead.

She has to be at the top of her game, after all, and her position is a stressful one. What better way to de-stress then to put her little puppy to good use? You're just so pliant when she orders you on your knees.

She keeps it tame if thats more your thing, but if you give her the go ahead she will buy you muzzles. Some just the standard muzzle, others with gags, plenty of collars and leashes for all sorts of occasions..she might even get you faux ears and a tail just for a little finishing touch.

She's just as big on aftercare, though. She puts her money to good use spoiling you, partially because she knows she can get a little rough with you. That and as much as she likes to call you her puppy, she won't have you smelling like a wet dog. Get in the bath.

You won't stay clean for long, especially because she absolutely goes all out on her tub so it's more then big enough for some extra activities, but it's better then nothing.

Sometimes, though, she just needs to be pampered herself. She adores body worship after a particularly stressful day. Just lounging in half tied silk while you worship every inch of her.

And if anyone notices you limping the morning after..they say nothing. They just chalk it up to a fight with some assassin or similar. And if they do know, they know better then to bring it up.

Bonus for being shared with Beidou when she drops by Liyue harbor. Nothing like a rowdy pirate to shake things up and make a mess of you on the Tianquan's bed while she watches.

Since I was kind of distracted by wedding and travel I'm rewatching Arcane s2 to see if any of the incoherence was on my end and my experience so far has been:

Act 1: This is actually pretty good. Maybe I was overreacting

Act 2: Ah yes. This is where it all goes to shit

bartybella as office job co-workers…bella as the intimidating office manager who wears pointy snakeskin heels and tops that show a bit too much cleavage to be appropriate for the workplace. every single one of her colleagues is terrified of her, and she stalks around the office glaring at everyone as they scramble around to look busy.

then you have barty as the bored intern who doesn’t really care about the job at all, and only got hired because of his father. everyone else mutters about him but he doesn’t give a single shit- the only reason he shows up at all of because of his hot boss, who he tries to flirt with every single day, to no avail.

... i wonder if there's, like, something to the fact that lex wears denim in black friday that links her thematically in some way to uncle wiley

like... clearly the costume department has got it going on, as evidenced by the steph and pete / emma and paul matchiness thing-

if we take denim as a thing that would represent wiley, then, if someone is wearing it they could be seen as reflecting back some of his aspects. so, things wiley is and whether lex has those aspects: viciously anti-capitalist ( ✔ check, the wiggly materialism spell straight up didn't work on them), proficient with the black-and-white ( ✔ check post discovering her summoning power), and extremely sleazy (❌ uncheck, lex never did anything wrong and i love them)

for this analysis, then, i will assign the denim the quality that wiley displays during his villain song, Made In America:

he hates capitalism, this guy. wiley sees in consumer culture a weakness that he can and will exploit for his lord.

wiley's tool to enact the will of wiggly is consumerism as represented by a doll, but... it doesn't work on lex. they're not concerned with materialism, but with the safety of their kid sister and boyfriend. if she was pursuing an acting career as a vehicle to make money, it would have been Very easy for her to highlight that she wanted to get rich during CaliforMIA. she doesn't, though - lex is not materlalist.

there is, however, one moment where lex does in fact sing about money!

Our Doors Are Open is frank pricely's ode to capitalism. and in this, notably, lex buys in- she sings along, quite ferociously, give us your fucking money, give us your fucking cash.

clearly, at this point in the musical, though, she was looking for money through a wiggly doll - so she hadn't yet rid herself of the desire for it, like she manages to later. in this song, she sings along because yeah, actually, she does want that money. it'll help her.

she's not wearing denim.

hello hello, it's been a while since i asked a question so i'm back with one about...hair! can you tell us anything about the soli cast's hairstyling habits? ranking them from least to most effort put into maintaining it every morning, who's the most likely to wear braids, how attunements (feathers or anything else) play a part in this and what accomodations/products the veil makes for these mages.

Always a pleasure to see you show up in my activity feed or inbox, so the questions are welcome! Ranking them, funny enough but Maia would be at the top of the list for how much effort is put in. Her hairstyle is, by all means, simple. Behind the scenes, though, there's a lot going on to make it look effortless... and of course, when hair reaches a certain length it does become quite a task of love. This goes beyond just styling, as we're talking potions, serums, perfumes and maintenance.

Lyra easily comes after Maia... though she enjoys looking Nice Enough (it might be more accurate to say she likes looking "Cute, in a Mad Scientist Hippie sort of way"-- her own words), her haircare routine is more out of necessity than Maia's labor of love. It wasn't always as difficult to tame, but as her manifestation's overgrowth peppered in between her already wavy, loose curls, that changed. Thankfully detangler potions and specialty combs made for her exact type of manifestation come in quite handy... having a husband willing to help tame the nest, even as it got more out of control, also helps. It's difficult to see due to mostly seeing her from the front during chapter 2 and the post chapter omake, but she clips part of her thick hair back with a fused crystal lotus barrette. Etched into it is a simple sigil that aids in helping to keep things in place. It can't work miracles, but it can help keep her hair and feathers from tangling due to day-to-day activities. Audric follows after them. He wears a tidier, shorter hairstyle unless you count for the length of feathers that he ties back and tucks away under his uniform coat when on duty. There's nothing overly special in his haircare routine, though that changes when it comes to taking care of those silver-grey feathers that rest beneath his dark hair. Maintaining them to prevent breaks and fraying is where most of his efforts go. As they're a product of a rare phenomenon where a manifest trait is passed to a child from both parents sharing the same manifestation, though, he's been doing this since he was a small child... there was considerably more fraying and breakage as a child despite everyone's best efforts, especially as new growth and pin feathers are going to cause enough itching that a child isn't going to be able to resist. As an adult, though, it isn't much of a problem... and feather manifestations being a more common one in the veil means there's plenty of resources for taking care of them. His preening is now spot on. Audun follows soon after... Though his feathers are fine and small, much more flexible, and aren't quite as finnicky as his wife's and eldest son's. His hairstyle is simple, shorter, with the side lengths clipped back, it isn't difficult to maintain. His biggest task is (or was...) helping Lyra with hers or praying that-- Elias would probably never bother if his family didn't insist. This insisting generally comes from Audric, who will Cut If For Him If He Won't Get it Cut. He takes minimum effort in day-to-day upkeep, only keeping it free from tangles so Willow won't get caught when she's slithering about. There's a brief moment when it's freshly cut and styled by his older brother that it looks neat, intentional and styled... that probably lasts as long as one shake. Audric doesn't fight it anymore. Neither does Audun. Life's too short to keep rolling that boulder up the hill.

Lately I've been consumed with grief for a culture that doesn't exist. I feel such a longing for a sense of history and meaning that's more than just Capitalism—I am convinced that money cheapens everything.

When your whole society is based on money, how can you have anything of value? The most important things cannot be bought or sold, so what are they to a people for whom money is the cornerstone? What use is tradition, craft, history, community, generational knowledge?

Why bother telling the stories of our past, our present, if they can't be monetized? Why worry about passing down the time-tested knowledge of how to do something well when it's cheaper to do it poorly? (Cheaper to get materials elsewhere, why care about your connection to the land you stand on?) No one has the time to teach or to learn, anyway.

We are not, then, known for our unique way of making something. We are not Weavers, or named for our ship-making prowess. We bear no reputation for quality or style (however much we may parasitize these things). Truthfully, we are known best for our consumption, and in a society whose god is capital, that may as well be our communion.
