The sillies

[peggyrose19]

i did not go pay attention in my class about crimes against humanity. i scrolled tumblr for an hour and then wrote a rant. here you go

all this 'oh no sel is gonna succumb to his blood oh no he's becoming more demonic' blah blah i fully believe his love for bree and for nick, regardless of the oaths, is strong enough to keep him sane. he may be part demon but the human part of his heart? that loves them so fiercely and deeply and protectively? that allowed him to create a whole new kind of aether casting just to keep bree alive? that will keep him tethered.

he says he doesn't like nick romantically anymore. do i believe him? no i really don't but we'll get to that.

he says the person nick was, the person he was, when they were 13 is gone, and he's not wrong. they are all different people now. and i think he believes he doesn't like nick anymore, i would suspect because they've spent so much of the past few years being angry with each other. compounded with the night sel nearly kills bree in book one. in a lot of ways that shattered them, and they have never had a discussion about it, on screen at least but i suspect at all.

but then he says this "My feelings for him run deep, but not in that direction. Not anymore." "Do you still wish they did?" ... "I don't know if that's in the cards for me."

now i cut out part of this interaction for brevity's sake but, he never says no. he never says no. sel refuses to let himself wish for things because he feels as though that's the way he loses the game with himself, without realizing that a refusal to play is still a choice.

look at the way he touches nick in their dream blood walk thingy. the way he holds him. the way they hold each other. the forehead touch???? bree saying that ultimate feeling of safety she needed lies between the three of them?? look me in the eye and tell me that's purely platonic because i will not believe you.

but back to my previous point. sel refuses to let himself wish for things. look at how long he let bree and him dance around the whole "cariad" thing which. don't get me started. god i could write a fucking dissertation on this series.

sidenote: THE BOYS FLIRTING IN WELSH STFU GET OUT OF HERE I CANNOT

anyways. this is a boy who is terrified of his feelings. he is terrified to let bree into his heart, to let nick in. he cares for them both deeply, and sure yeah that's fine. he keeps them alive and fights for them because he wants them happy and alive, he is compelled to by the oath. but i'm not sure he ever allows himself to acknowledge just how much. i think he's realizing with bree throughout bloodmarked (see new aether casting to keep her alive). i think he's using the oath with nick and that connection to deny the fact his feelings are his own.

am i being delusional? highly likely. do i care? not one bit.

yeah so i wrote this all before finishing the book-

all i have to say now is where is book 3? also sel pls come back ily

"Only a monster could look at you and want to destroy you, Bree." selwyn kane you shut the fuck up right now.

smh you love her so much it's making you look stupid god damn

Tartali

he loves me, he loves me not | xiaoscribbles | chili/tartali | T | 6,1k

Tags: Pining, Unrequited Love, Angst With a Happy Ending

Summary:

“Are you in love with me?”

Childe’s heart sinks into his stomach without an ounce of grace. It drops like lead into his abdomen and leaves him feeling hollow and utterly terrified.

“Zhongli.”

“Are you in love with me,” Zhongli asks again, because he is nothing if not persistent, “because I see the way you act around me, Childe and I just want to know why you never said anything when—”

Childe stands up abruptly. He reaches for a bag of mora in his coat and unceremoniously drops it onto the table where their half-eaten food lies. It contains far more than what their meal actually cost, but he couldn’t bring himself to care.

“You obviously know the answer. I’m done with this conversation,” Childe says cooly, “have a good rest of your night.”

Or, Zhongli figures him out and Childe's heart breaks.

Summary:

The one where Childe is a florist, his boss can barely stand him, and his most loyal customers are five little children who keep buying flowers for their father.

Then he meets the children's father.

And for Childe, it's very much love at first sight.

Summary:

“Xiao! It’s nice to see you.” Aether beams, and then immediately wonders if he’s being too informal. With his limited knowledge of Liyue’s customs, for all he knows, he should be curtsying immediately.

In which Aether doesn't know traditional Teyvat courtship rituals, and it turns out Xiao doesn't either.

Summary:

"What do you mean we're dating?"

In which Xiao and Aether are painfully unaware of their own advances and relationship while everyone does. Or maybe it's everyone else who assumes things for themselves.

How can they not after all they've witnessed personally. Surely, the Traveler and the Yaksha are courting each other.

Thomato

you're the sun, you've never seen the night | snowblum | thomato | T | 2,1k

Tags: Established Relationship, Fluff and Humor, Drunken Shenanigans

Summary:

“Ayatoo…” Thoma is grinning stupidly with his face buried in the crevice of his shoulder. “Marry me...”

The proposal came out of nowhere, and Ayato nearly lets his surprise show, but he quickly pulls it back and pretends to think about it for a moment, putting on the most nonchalant expression he can possibly manage. “Hm… I don’t know.”

Thoma raises his head, clearly not expecting that response. “Whaat—”

“Ask me again tomorrow when you’re sober.”

or, thoma gets drunk and ayato takes care of him.

Tags: Tangled AU

Summary (No summary really just an author’s note):

This is drawn from the movie ‘Tangled,’ right down to the dialogue in some places, but there have been some changes. Pascal and Max aren’t here, they’ve been replaced by Klee and Diluc instead. Still, if you’ve seen Tangled, you already know the general plot of this fic.

I adore this fic, one thing was because I was thinking abt one fanart i saw of this au, its been a while man--and when i searched up tangled au for genshin i thought; ‘oh it doesn’t need to be kaebedo it could be tartali or smtelse’, but this was the first one that popped up so :D.

Summary:

Rumour has it that the beloved bachelor Kaeya Alberich is off the market - to the dismay of mothers across Mondstadt. The shining gold band on his ring finger speaks for itself.

And yet somehow, nobody seems to knows how Kaeya came to have a spouse or who this elusive lover is. No one except the Knights of Favonius, that is.

5 times one of the knights figured out Kaeya and Albedo’s relationship + the 1 time they revealed it themselves.

Could I Have Another Chance? | washer_and_briar | T | 8,3k

Tags: Not Actually Unrequited Love, Rejection, Misunderstandings

Summary:

Oh. Okay. That was. Fine. Just fine. Expected, even. It didn't hurt. It wasn't soul crushing. It was normal. And it could have been worse anyways. He was being selfish. And too optimistic for his own good. They were still friends. so it seemed. It was time to grow up and get over it. They're practically adults now. There isn't time for Xingqiu's childish feelings in the real world.

~~~ In which Chongyun panics and rejects a confession from the love of his life.

fuggg thats it for now, i will now go back to crying bc of the latest archon quest. istg i love but hate this game

[kuacinya]

could y'all not hate on lumine. like honestly lots of people who choose lumine regrets choosing lumine. if you say lumine is in the way of gay ships literally no one cares. everytime there's about a post with lumine and aether on them lots of y'all is too focused on aether. especially who makes re roll acc to choose aether. what's the point hating on lumine, both of them are the same. just different gender. "aether is the canon mc" stfu.

i won't accept ANY lumine slander on this acc.

and aether always got the spotlight and lumine never got the spotlight.

Another one of my favorite things ab my friends in the dnd campaign (based off of homestuck) is that I had to bullshit a reason for why trolls don’t sexually reproduce themselves (because they didn’t accept my reasoning of “they don’t they think it’s dirty”) and they took it as “SO ONLY LESBIAN TROLLS CAN HAVE SEX.”

They’re aiming for a sapphic poly relationship and to adopt the one 7y/o character in the game. Because of this knowledge.

I just realized I never showed the new Ink Chains designs, so if anyone wants to see those you can ask for them.

I have decided that, for checkmarks, I will be taking requests. Doodles, full lineart pieces, everything for some gay checkmarks.

They’re higher than my sketch com price (5$ even) and lower than my lineart com price (10$ even). I think fancy looking sketches are fine, but still.

I’m so close to making a Quest Cuphead (actually more Inky Mystery but STILL) kinnie playlist. I need to hold back my urges.
