Ok so, I shit u not, since u said I could pick who to talk about, I decided to use a number generator to pick for me and it picked my Kid Pirates OC LMAOOOO who was inspired by this, really fantastic fic by @standfucker (if I remember right the title is “Rotations” but don’t quote me on that)(also note that this is the crew I am the LEAST familiar with but the most FASCINATED by atm)

So, let’s get into Zella(he/she), my newest OC (like, literally came up with her in the last couple of weeks)! She is a 5’5”, 22-24 spunky lil shit from the West Blue, who loves her crew and ONLY them, fuck the rest of the world. He’s punk (ofc), usually sporting a cropped deep red and green leather jacket, long fingerless gloves, and black tank top and high waisted pants, with boots (a pair she’s had since before the Kid Pirates and would stab a bitch for as they were a gift). Short dark green hair, with two little white tufts that poke out in front of her ears and frame her face. (Im kinda shooting for like, a hummingbird kinda vibe for her, but not like “cute smol, wants some flowers” and more “I will stab u with my beak if u get near my flower” deal. A colorful chihuahua if u will)

Since Zella is so new I don’t have a lot aside from design vibes, but I have some key things

• as One Piece characters tend to have, his childhood? Fucked up. Got dragged around hopping island to island with their shitty parents until they finally abandoned him. He tried to find comfort and friendship with the local kids and it, didn’t go well. Let’s just say the fingerless gloves r there for more than fashion. Once she managed to leave THAT shitty place, Zella found an island home that, while on paper it’s not a good place, there were few people who actually took her in. Until that too was taken, resulting in Kid Pirate Zella.

• can and has climbed her crewmates like trees to get a better vantage point. It’s usually Wire or Killed, Kid in a knee-jerk reaction threw him overboard. Zella has not let him forget about it since.

• Has the filthiest mouth of my OCs, but is not immune to being flustered into place (which happens more often than she’d like)

• will pick the spiciest food and eat it with no reaction (Dive took a bite thinking she could handle it. She could not)

• very skilled at sewing and has helped her crew with fixing and customizing their clothes on many occasions. Do NOT touch her chaotic corner of supplies, she knows where everything is and somehow always knows if it’s been messed with. A l w a y s.

• has two tattoos (atm, may add more later), one in particular being an under chin tattoo of a red star/flower shaped pattern. Does not remember the night it happened, at all.

• always has a knife hidden somewhere on her person. Full body searched? HA u missed the one between her ass cheeks bitch

And that’s it for rn!!!! I have a lot more I want to develop and figure out for Zella, but I also have to get to know her crew first lmao thanks for letting me ramble!

Sincerely,

The 🌷

Holy shit - hey Zen - idk if the tag in an ask will ping you, but I'mma assume yes - Your one-shot birthed an OC for someone!!

And yeah, it's called Rotation - that one and Whiteout whew.

Anyway, we're talking about your Zella and I love him \o/ What you have so far is fantastic, and it's certainly enough for a full fledged OC, so I don't think you have to worry about that.

And it doesn't take much honestly, sometimes character creation is a long long process, and sometimes they come to us all at once. And sometimes real development happens in the parameters of a story, but you've got her down solid already. I love the bullets and the little personal bits here and there with the crew.

If you're fascinated with the Kid Pirate crew, I gotta make sure you're aware of @swampstew - she's got a Meet the Crew series, and yeah it's based on her head canon of them, but it's a great place to start in my opinion. (I imagine you are if you follow me, I love her Kid Pirate passion, and I bet if you're nice and ask for some head canons she'd share as much as me xD ❤️🥰)

. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ 𝟕 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 ࿐ྂ

Pairing: Son Hak X afab!Reader

Synopsis: When a simple game of 7 Minutes in Heaven caused MC and Son Hak spend time inside the cramped closet.

Word Count: 766

"Okay, [Name]-chan, your turn~" Jae-ha handed you the small box that contains several pieces of paper in it.

"Here goes nothing..." you gulped as you dove your hand inside, closing your eyes while randomly picking the lucky person.

You opened your eyes when you already picked a random paper from the box. You unfolded it and stared at the paper, you can't believe your eyes. You gulped hard.

"What does it says, [Name]-chan?" the redhead female snatched the paper from you and glanced at it.

"Y-Yona!"

She read it out loud. "3. Ooh~ Hak is number 3! You are very lucky, [Name]-chan!"

"Really? That's too bad, I really wished that [Name]-chan would pick me," Su-won childishly pouted.

"Well~!" Jae-ha pushed you into the closet.

"H-hey! Jae-ha!" you shrieked, slightly flustered of the idea to spend 7 minutes in a cramped, dark closet with no other than Son Hak himself your secret crush.

Once you are shoved inside, you composed yourself and moved to the left side of the closet, next to the door to let the other person inside. You definitely don't want Hak to accidentally be shoved in and fell on you. Nah-ah. Nope. Not happening. The said thunder beast came in next, Jae-ha, using all his strength to push the heavy male inside, despite his protests. Once the tow of you are in, the green-haired male slammed the door close, followed by the click of the lock.

"Damn that green dragon!" Hak hissed under his breath.

You stayed quiet in your spot, never daring to move one bit inside the cramped space. The space is too small that your bodies are "extremely" close to each other. You could heat his fast heartbeat pounding against his ribcage. His hot breath tickling your ear. You blushed a thousand shades of red because of the close proximity.

"Hey, [Name]..." the tall male called, his breath slightly brushing agaisnt the top of your hair.

"Y-yes?" you stuttered, trying to look up to met his blue eyes despite the tightness.

"Damn..." he hissed under his breath when he saw your feature.

You are a sweating mess right now, the tightness of the closet and the closeness the two of you are in made your body sweat uncontrollably. Some strands of your [h/l] [h/c]-colored hair sticking to your sweaty face. Your cheeks were in a deep shades of red as I speak.

"I've been trying hard to stop myself, but after seeing you here in this cramped closet like that—sweating because of the hotness and flustered because of embarrassment—here with me..." he slightly growled seductively, his blue orbs never leaving yours. "I don't think I can stop myself anymore."

You tried to collect yourself before questioning. "W-what do you—hmph!?"

The next thing you knew was Hak aggressively kissing you. He snaked his arms around your waist to pull you close. After a moment, you recovered from your surprised state and hesitating before kissing him back. You closed your eyes to enjoy the moment, him as well. Hak bit your lower lips, asking for entrance, and this caught you by surprise and gasped, making your eyes shot open. He took this chance and slipped his soft tongue into your cavern. You moaned in the kiss, feeling every inch of your mouth be explored by him. Unfortunately, you both need to part for air. You panted heavily and glanced up to him, you could slightly see his cheeks tinted with red in the dark.

"[Name]..." Hak leaned down and whispered against your ear.

"Y-yes?" you could feel a shiver ran down your spine.

"I love you."

You smiled to yourself, closing your eyes and leaning against his chest. "I never actually thought that you will ever return my feelings for you."

"Well now, you know that I do."

"Yeah.."

"And later, I'm gonna show you how much I love you..." he whispered seductively, his voice so deep demanding.

You instantly shot your eyes open at his statement, and you definitely didn't like what he meant by that. Your heartbeat that is calming down started to race again. Your slightly flustered cheeks darkened once again.

"I-I—"

And just then, the door was slammed open. You sighed in relief. The 7 minutes was already over.

I'ma throw something outta left field 4 this one, this is a big yap so it's ok if you don't respond.

This is more of a question and a guess.

Don't bust my balls please I'm posting this publicly so you know this account is going to post R.J fanart.

I am making R.J fanart and I know you probably don't want so spoil the short story your writing or give out your character dynamics since you may still be working on them.

Ok, could R.J's and Illari's dynamics be close to chat noir and lady bug(w out the romance lol)

Hear me out R.J green color scheme, Illari red color scheme, both of them are 18 and are each other's foils as you said in a previous post. Now I wanted to confer about there interactions like maybe Illari is sulky serious, she doesn't like the fact R.J is "messing around" by being light hearted and positive all the time, always seeing the light at the end of the tunnel( I am not sure wether you intend on R.J to be funny and use humor as his muse to spread positivity or a serious and passionate seeing things from a more emotional perspective similar to Deku(MHA reference don't kill me I'm not 12 I swear)

If R.J is the first kind of positive then I could imagine a very funny dynamic between them with the added angst of Illari(potentially) working for talon and R.J in overwatch; also how Reaper being R.Js estranged dad and Illari's coworker/mentor maybe (guessing based of voice lines)

Here is an example:

(note I am not confident in my writing for Illari's dialogue I feel don't want to want to stray to far from her canon character but want to give her a more human vibe with R.J someone I think she would be comfortable with, sorry if dialogue is dry AF)

Illari stares intentlly at the mission area scouting for points of infiltration. Suddenly, she hears a guard go down she turns and quickly draws her weapon but there is no one there; she assumes the work of Widowmaker and continues to scout entry points. A wispy "Psst" pinches on Illari's left, so faint she could barely hear. Illari is filled with a sort of disappointed and defeated fuzz in her body as the turns her head to see R.J hanging upside down a foot above her from the rafters. "So, what's the plan" R.J touts as he turns his head ever enthusiastic towards Illari. R.J's smile creeps ever wider as Illari's eyebrows smolder lower with audacity. A bewildered Illari contemplates for a moment; torn on wether to beat the crap out of R.J for bothering her at work or reluctantly reveling in his company, playing his game. "What do you want?" A the small inquiry of Illari's eyes becomes stiff as she shifts her weight to her solar rifle. " I just wanted to talk talk fav-" "go home R.J" Illari's cuts him of on an effort to discourage R.Js little clawing at Illari's seams. -

His is all I have written so far I have plans to finish this but I'm lazy and busy lol. Please critique, i am a baby writer so I have No fucking clue what I am doing! If you actually respond to this insanity and give you input on this I will die! Do Tell me what you think about this. Thank you so much for the inspo!��

In all honesty the comparison to Chat Noir is pretty spot on considering my main inspirations for him are Dick Grayson (very specifically late Nightwing), and Spiderman (only really personality wise with that), which are likely inspirations for Chat Noir. I'm going to specify Spiderman here when it comes to RJ's brand of optimism and positivity, he does quip a lot especially since it throws a majority of Talon off since the main character they usually fight don't actually try to talk or joke with them. Basically think of the stuff that (a well written) Spiderman would say in a fight and you got RJ's banter.

My biggest thing when writing him though is don't make him naïve, yes he's a force of positivity and is meant to be extremely optimistic, but he isn't naïve. He can't be with Gabriel and Martina as his parents, along with Cassidy being his older brother. He knows what he's signing up for, he knows how dangerous what he's doing is, and yes he does take a lot of risks, more then he should, but he signed up for this completely aware of what could happen.

With RJ and Illari's dynamic specifically, basically think of how someone who symbolizes the long focused energy of the sun would interact with someone who represents a bolt of lightning. A long simmering of energy vs. an instant release of energy, both still having the common factor of being energy. While Illari would get annoyed at RJ, I think she'd also envy the way he was able to move past the tragedy in his life, despite all the loss he's gone through he has no regrets. Meanwhile RJ would be able to see Illari's pain and trauma in a way that others don't, less because he himself has been through it and more so because he's grown up around it. He grew up seeing the bitterness his mother had towards what happened at Zurich and what lead up to it, he grew up seeing the exhaustion and guilt in Cassidy's eyes when he thought he was alone. Honestly I think a big part of RJ and Illari's dynamic would be getting Illari to act her age, to smile and joke around.

I could honestly see there be an interaction where Illari smiles or laughs and RJ says something along the lines of "you have a nice laugh", not pointing out that she doesn't do it a lot, not saying she should do it more, just a small acknowledgment that she can be happy. Honestly going with you MHA analogy I think Deku and Todoroki's early (like, first half of the sports festival early) dynamic would fit them.

As for critiques on the writing itself, I honestly don't know if this was just Tumblr formatting but try and space out your wording. If a character speaks at the end of a sentence then start on a new line, for example;

R.J touts as he turns his head ever enthusiastic towards Illari, "So, what's the plan?" R.J's smile creeps ever wider as Illari's eyebrows smolder lower with audacity. A bewildered Illari contemplates for a moment; torn on wether to beat the crap out of R.J for bothering her at work or reluctantly reveling in his company, playing his game. "What do you want?" A the small inquiry of Illari's eyes becomes stiff as she shifts her weight to her solar rifle. " I just wanted to talk talk fav-" "go home R.J," Illari's cuts him of on an effort to discourage R.Js little clawing at Illari's seams. -

In creative writing the way it's stuctured is important, new topic, new character speaking, new perspective, all signify the starting point of a new paragraph. Otherwise your writing will not be appealing to a reading eye and fell cluttered.

Another critique is that it feel a bit rushed while also having descriptors in the wrong places. With the guard at the beginning you should specify that it's nearby but not right next to her, just saying "Suddenly, she hears a guard go down...." is too open and will often lead to people assuming that the guard is closer then what you intend them to be, especially since the scenario Illari is in is a stealth mission. I would also like to suggest drawing out the dialogue more, it adds to the tension that the current circumstance provides;

....she assumes the work of Widowmaker and continues to scout entry points. "Psst," a voice whispers from her left, so faint that she almost missed it.

I would suggest doing more then this example, specifically drawing out the tension more with extending how long RJ presence remain unknown.

Honestly this is a really good first draft even if it is unfinished, and your comments on what you think Illari and RJ's dynamics would be are very interesting and pretty accurate to what I have planned.

Chapter 3 of The Teenage Mutant Phantom of the Opera!

@daboyau

The next few days of production began filling with incidents. It started out small, the other lead actor’s oolong tea was replaced with green tea. The practice was so busy that he didn’t notice until his throat got sore.

Usagi had to take over for him.

Then, another day, the actor somehow got trapped in a storage closet for hours. Usagi once again filled in while others looked for him.

It was very clear that these incidents alone annoyed the actor.

The others were driving him close to the edge.

His belongings kept going missing, some turned up broken or just never turned up at all.

It became a talking point amongst the entire production crew.

Since Usagi didn’t talk to most of them unless it was to help with the scenery or coffee, he was mainly left out of these conversations.

Except with Donnie.

He actually advocated for Usagi to be doing more practices because of all the incidents happening.

They were taking a break together.

“This a serious streak of bad luck….”

“Oh please, you don’t need to act like you care. I admire your ambition but you’ve been way too obvious about the whole thing.”

Usagi furrows his brows in confusion.

“Uh….could you explain?”

“Everyone knows it’s you messing with the production.”

“What!? No! I’m not doing any of this!” His ears shoot straight up.

“Look, it’s not like I can prove what you say, you can tell me.”

Usagi frowns and then realizes two things.

One, Donnie was making the same face he always makes when he’s giving a weird excuse for being late.

Two, there was a quiet humming coming somewhere from him.

“Are…..are you recording this?”

Donnie’s face immediately grows nervous, eyes darting away.

“Noooooo….?”

“Oh my god! You think I did it and wanted get proof!”

“Aha! So you might have confessed!”

“There’s nothing to confess! I didn’t do anything! I wouldn’t!” Usagi stomps his foot, then immediately feels his face flush in embarrassment.

It was something he couldn’t help as a rabbit yokai. People who didn’t know or understand just thought he was acting like a kid.

Now he felt upset and embarrassed.

“Who else could be doing this? The phantom? Likely story that there’s someone unseen you can blame for all this.“ Donnie scoffs.

Usagi is taken aback.

Would he be doing this?

It is true that he’s only learned simple things about him during their practices. He held true to his promise and told him a new piece of information each time, but so far it was his favorite food, color, and drink.

Nothing that could help him tell if he was capable of going this far.

He’s been kind to him without fail, though.

Donnie hasn’t.

Usagi feels the need to defend himself, and the phantom.

“How dare you? I’ve been helping the crew members every second I’m not practicing! When would I even have the time or ability to do the things you’re accusing me of!?”

“It’s busy, you could have snuck away-“

“Someone would have noticed their errand boy was gone for that long! I’m not evil, I’m not jealous, I just want to sing! That’s all. I wouldn’t mess with someone just to get a part, and if I ever did, it would be you!”

“Me!? After I thanked you and gave you advice!?”

“You just tried to get me to admit to something I didn’t do while you recorded it! And just because you treated me a little better than everyone else doesn’t mean you’re nice! You’re rude, Donatello. You’ve rubbed getting the part in my face so many times. I really don’t mind you did! I’m happy for you, in fact! You’re good at singing and you have style!”

“You….like how I perform?”

“That’s what you take away from all that? Seriously!? I can’t do this anymore today, I’m going home early.” Usagi rushes down the steps in a huff.

Donnie says nothing, only looking at the floor until he’s gone.

Usagi returns to the building that night. He didn’t want his mood to make the phantom think he abandoned him.

Thankfully he still had keys from the late night work.

Leo sits there on the edge of the stage, legs dangling.

“Welcome back.”

Usagi smiles softly at him before sitting next to him.

“Hey. I hope I didn’t make you worried being here later than usual.”

“It’s alright, I know that you’ve been busier with getting to practice.”

Usagi frowns.

“Do you remember the incidents that have been happening?”

“Of course.”

“I’m getting blamed for them. I probably should have seen it coming with how much everyone has it out for me. Donnie even tried to get me to confess!”

Leo prevents the scowl that wants to form on his face.

His blood boils, and it’s difficult to not react as much as he wants to.

He tightens his fists instead.

“Yuichi, that’s horrible. I’m so sorry.”

“He said the only possible culprits would be me, or….the phantom.”

Leo turns his head away from him and stares straight ahead.

“You think I’m doing this.”

“No, no! Not at all! I promise! That’s just what he said!” Usagi frantically waves his arms around.

“It’s okay. I understand why. We both know it wasn’t you, so there’s only one person left to blame.”

Usagi feels incredibly guilty.

“I don’t blame you, believe me. There’s no way you could do all that without getting caught since you’re not part of the staff, and you wouldn’t do it period! I know you wouldn’t.”

Leo smiles.

He didn’t even have to lie, just avoiding answering the question in the first place did the trick.

While lying to him wasn’t the best base for a relationship, it’s not like the truth would be very appealing.

Of course he was behind everything.

He knew they’d never let Usagi sing even after all the practice in the world. Maybe not even when they actually needed him during a performance if he never got to practice beforehand on stage.

He had to do something to help the person who deserved it more than anyone.

“You don’t need to panic. Even if it crossed your mind just a little. I mean, how are you supposed to defend someone you only know as the phantom?”

“I’m so so sorry-“

“Maybe it’s better if you call me Leo instead.”

Usagi’s eyes grow large.

“Your name is Leo?”

“Yes, it is.”

Usagi smiles widely.

“It’s definitely a lot nicer to call you. Is it a nickname?“

“It’s my full name.”

“Like the constellation! No wonder it’s the main one on the ceiling. You both must have been pretty close.”

Leo nods, face dropping a bit.

“She always said it was nice to have a star like me down on earth with her. A Leo she could see even in the day time.”

Usagi feels his heart absolutely melt at hearing such a sweet sentiment.

He keeps that to himself though, as he knows it must be bittersweet for Leo.

“It….kind of hurts to remember, doesn’t it?”

“…..It does. The better someone is to you before they go, the harder it is when they do.”

Usagi looks out wistfully from the stage, bringing up his legs to hold them to his chest.

“It’s because it means a good part of your life is gone. I get it. There’s no chance of doing anything else with them again, new or otherwise.”

Leo looks down.

“Do you think this is going to turn into a sad memory too?”

Usagi is quiet for a second, then touches his shoulder with Leo’s.

“No. I’m going to look back at this and remember that I spent time with a friend. That’s all.”

Leo feels his face heat up slightly, turning away.

“You make me forget to feel sad.”

Usagi smiles again.

“So do you. Why don’t we skip practice today and just talk? Or maybe you can play the organ again.”

Leo looks back at him.

“Shouldn’t we be thinking about what to do about you getting blamed?”

“There’s not a whole lot I can do about it. If they’re going to kick me out, then….that’s just what I’m going to have to deal with. We can hang out somewhere else if that happens! There’s so many places I can take you.”

Leo bites the inside of his cheek.

No.

He can’t.

But the allure to just imagine it is way too strong.

“Could you tell me about them?”

Usagi lights up, starting off ramblings of different areas in the Hidden City and the spots in them.

Leo listens carefully and allows his voice to flow into his thoughts.

He wishes he could tell him not to worry. Come tomorrow, everything would be taken care of.

The blaming, the stress, the threat of losing his role.

Donnie.

All of it.

Instead, he just has a nice time with him, allowing him to end the day better than he started.

Usagi leaves the theatre with a smile and absolutely no clue about what Leo is planning.

When he goes in late to the theatre then next day, he doesn’t have that same smile.

He’s too nervous about what will happen.

The stares and whispers of everyone around him as he walks doesn’t help in the slightest.

He gets to the stage and nervously heads to the back, looking for the director.

Donnie and the other lead were already talking to him.

Things didn’t seem good.

The other lead turns his head towards him before stomping over.

“You! I’ve had enough of your dumb antics! You’ve gone too far this time!”

Usagi holds up his hands defensively.

“Woah! Hold on! I just got here! I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”

“Yes you do! You just must have snuck in last night to do it!“

“What do you think I did!?”

The other lead angrily holds up a bag that was torn up, scribbled on, wet, and covered in glitter.

“This! I left my it here accidentally and now it’s ruined!”

“Look at my hands, if I used glitter it would still be in me! I promise I didn’t!”

“It is true though, glitter is impossible to hide. My brother uses it and I still find it months later.” Donnie suddenly interjects, walking closer.

Usagi is surprised that he’s defending him at all.

“See? I didn’t do it-“

“Although it’s highly unlikely that any of the other incidents have anything that can disprove it was him.”

Usagi sighs heavily.

“There’s also nothing that proves it was me!”

“I’m sorry Yuichi, you’re the only one who comes to the playhouse at night. I’m going to have to ask you not to come back.” The director insists.

Usagi feels his heart crumble into pieces, ears dropping down as tears prick at his eyes.

He opens his mouth to beg, plead, defend himself again, but his ears suddenly perk up again at a certain sound.

So, something very different is said.

“Get down!” He pushes Donnie.

The movement causes Usagi to fall on top of the soft shell. Donnie looks at him with confusion and anger, leaning towards anger, until he sees the sandbag crash down right where he had been standing.

It would have landed on top of him if he had not been moved out of the way.

Usagi moves off of him, looking down at him with concern.

“Are you okay? I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

Donnie’s heart begins hammering in his chest from both the sudden falling and the close proximity they’re in.

A blush creeps onto his face as he realizes that the boy in front of him who he kept bragging to is actually…..really nice to look at.

He scrambles out from under him.

“I-I’m fine!….Thanks to you, I guess.”

Usagi stands up before offering his hand out to Donnie.

He stares hard before hesitantly taking it and standing up.

His hand was soft and plush.

He hates to admit that he held on for just a second longer than he should.

The director and some other staff look at the sandbag to see what had happened.

The top seemed frayed in a way that could be normal wear and tear.

That wasn’t the only possibility though.

“Okay, no role is worth this! If he didn’t do it, then that stupid phantom did this! I quit!” The other lead angrily walks off.

The director follows after to try to convince him not to go but it doesn’t seem to work.

Donnie glances at Usagi.

“I guess you’re getting the role after all.”

Wait what's your special interest

Yes I am aware I'm signing myself up for the infodump and I am here for it

ok don't laugh but on god it's drugs

I love little historical fun facts about them(molly having always been covered by uk drug law as all drugs with that base ring structure are restricted even if they don't exist yet- though the law was later updated to include molly specifically, bicycle day, etc)

I love hearing about how they effect different brains differently (shroomies tend to crank my adhd thought racing up to 11(in a good way) while they let my ocd friends have a quiet brain for awhile, how stimulants are useful for treating adhd, etc)

I love learning about how they work in your body and how they interact with other drugs(molly releases a lot of serotonin in your brain and you should take a lengthy tolerance break before taking anything else that also releases serotonin directly, while shroomies and lucy just act on your serotonin receptors and won't share the same cross tolerance. You shouldn't take any serotonin releasing drug if you're on an ssri since your brain can't take care of all the extra free floating serotonin afterwards and you run the risk of serotonin syndrome. If you drink while on stimulants they tend to mask each other's effects and when one starts to wear off you will be Too Fucked Up™️)

I love reading trip reports. It's really nice seeing people talk about how they were able to work through their mental issues or how they gained a new appreciation for their life and their loved ones. And Tails From the Trip is like The Magnus Archives to me

I love reagent testing and all the funny little colors they make

I haven't been able to sit down and read a book in years but I'm thinking about picking up a copy of PiHKAL , I think I might actually be able to focus on it

Did you know that serotonin is a precursor for melatonin and so messing w that system too much can really mess w your circadian rhythm? And 5htp is the precursor for serotonin so if you are running low you can supplement with that for a bit, though you'll also have to take egcg (green tea extract) to inhibit the enzyme in your gut that turns 5htp into serotonin since 5htp can cross the blood brain barrier but serotonin cannot.

Tumblr please don't ban me this is for educational purposes only and I totally live in Colorado or wherever

#ask #anyway bicycle day is coming up does anyone need head #drug mention #this is the only thing thats managed to consistently hold my interest lol #im really risking it having this many sus words in one post but *autism grip*#for forced intox content see my other blog :3

Cabin-Multi Ship

Day Six of War is Helloween prompts by @almost-a-class-act !

Summary: Invited to a weekend at a cabin in the woods OR the car breaks down on a dark country road.

WC: 935.

C/W: NSFW marked with **.

BofB Masterlist!

Halloween Prompts Masterlist!

"Your dads were really nice to let us use the cabin for the weekend." George hummed as they walked in the large Winters-Nixon cabin.

"Yeah, I mean they kinda expected us to do something stupid for Halloween so it was either we do it here or at Daisy and George's." Lieb explained as he unlocked the door letting everyone in.

"Wow this place is awesome!" Babe smiled as the tall red head began skipping around the cabin opening cabinets.

"Bedrooms are upstairs. If you're gonna fuck on the guest room beds please just wash them before we leave." Lieb rolled his eyes.

"Brave of you to say." Web elbowed his boyfriend's ribs.

"Well it's different, this is like my cabin. It's not different than us having sex at my house." Lieb defended himself.

"Yeah I've heard enough of this," Daisy shook her head and pulled Billy up the stairs.

Luztoye:

George and Joe decided to go for a small walk through the woods.

Their hands intertwined swinging as they walked down the path.

"We should've brought Petunia she would've loved to smell all the smells out here and pee on the trees." George looked over at Joe.

"Damn we should've asked." Joe sighed as they were admiring the changing colors of the trees most of the leafs decorating the Forrest floor.

Joe took an awkward step and winced and George stopped.

"Let's take a break here we can sit on the log." George pointed to the fallen tree next to the path and helped Joe over.

"Sorry." Joe frowned as he began applying gentle pressure to his right thigh.

"Don't be," George shook his head, "Can I do anything for you?"

"No it's fine, but can we head back? Think my stump is swelled." Joe rubbed his forehead feeling bad.

"Yeah of course, do you want some help?" George stood up and pulled Joe up. Joe put an arm around George and walked back.

Baberoe/Graham:

The three sat in the hot tub outside on the deck in the back.

Babe loved swimming although he couldn't swim.

"Do not squirt me with that thing," Gene shook his head as Babe had of course not left home without his super soaker.

"I'm not going to Gene. Just wanna squirt Web when he comes out." Babe said as he dipped the plastic, neon green gun in the hot tub filling it.

"This feels so nice on my body." Graham sat back a bit in the hot tub.

"That's until Babe starts squirting us with that." Gene smirked.

"I'm not going to squirt you Gene! Actually if you bring up me ambushing Web one more time I'm gonna squirt you!" Babe fussed.

"Do not do that in the hot tub!" Web came over and Babe had missed his chance.

"Shit! See now I gotta super soaker you since I missed getting to shoot Web!" Babe aimed the gun at Gene.

"Bill is coming out here shoot him." Web said.

"No because then Bill is gonna hit me with his leg! I don't know if you guys have ever been hit with a carbon fiber prosthetic before but it hurts!" Babe pouted.

"Fine! You can spray me," Gene sighed standing up in the hot tub, "Just once!" He held his arms out for his chest to be an open target.

Babe snickered and shot his boyfriend.

Daisybilly (OC's):

"Should we go in the hot tub?" Daisy looked out the window to the mess that was going on.

"I don't know, Babe just put my brother on his shoulders and the hot tub is like maybe three feet deep." Billy came over and wrapped his arms around Daisy's waist.

"True, if we go in Babe is gonna shoot us with his super soaker." Daisy leaned back into him taking in his scent of spice and pine.

"I have no interest in being shot by a six, three leprechaun who can't swim." Billy laughed.

"So you'd rather bone the female leprechaun in your life." Daisy turned making fun of him.

"There's only one leprechaun and he's not a girl." Billy picked her up bringing her over to the bed, "And yeah what if I do wanna bone my crazy red headed girlfriend?"

"You mean when I take control of you because I know that's what you like." Daisy put her knee in between his legs rolling him below her as she hovered over her.

Billy couldn't help but let out a small moan as Daisy's chest was in full view of him.

"Yes ma'am," Billy smiled choking on his own breath as Daisy plunged her lips into his.

Webgott:

“Ew,” Web sat on the couch downstairs as they could hear Billy and Daisy having probably very rough sex.

"I wonder if that's how everyone else feels with us?" Lieb smirked looking at Web.

"Shut up, you're the one that's always talking me through an orgasm." Web defended his own honor.

"Okay and you can barely keep quiet unless I put my hand over your mouth." Lieb fired back, of course they were no strangers to their own bickering over stupid stuff.

"I'm not the one popping a boner everytjne we touch hands." Web nodded to Liebs pants that very much had gotten tighter as his dick got hard.

Lieb was a little embarrassed but usually their bickering was a weird foreplay and his brain was just wired to think that it's sex time everytime they fight.

"Oh you are such a pig Joseph David-Liebgott Winters-Nixon." Web pulled out his full government name as he climbed onto Joes lap straddling him.

#war is helloween #babe has a super soaker #modern au #band of brothers #joe liebgott #david webster #webgott #george luz #joe toye #luztoye #babe heffron #eugene roe #baberoe #bill guarnere

while i'm thinking about pens, here's a lil "what's in my pencil case" post cuz it's been a minute since i've done one. can you tell my favorite color? lmao.

detail shots, writing sample & notes about everything under the cut

first we have our basic, "staple" pens and such, in order from the top left down and to the right:

+Zebra bLen FM2 Ballpoint Pen 0.5 mm - this particular version was a limited edition but JetPens sells other colors/models. to be honest i mostly got this because of the aesthetics of it, but the gimmick is that it's supposed to not "rattle" or shake as much as other pens, making it a smoother "stress-free" writing experience and i suppose that would be true if the ink didn't skip so ding dang much. i give it a 4.5/10

+Zebra Sarasa Push Clip Gel Pen 0.5 mm Black - ohhh now we're talkin. my first true stationery crush. i own these in every color they come in. you're never gonna go wrong with a zebra sarasa. as a lefty i'm wary of smudges and these puppies dry fast and don't skip. i would marry this pen if i could.

+Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen Hard Tip - my preferred choice for doing brush pen lettering. i like the fude touch sign pens from pentel too but their ink tends to be too juicy for me as a lefty & it's a smudge hazard, but tombows are perfect.

+ Sakura Pigma Micron 10 (0.6 mm) - this is actually a new thing, i was messing around with different headers a few weeks ago and after i was done i was too lazy to stick this back where it goes with its family, so i put it in my pencase. but you never know when you need a nice thick black marker to do headers and stuff in your bullet journal, you know?

+Sakura Gelly Roll White 10 & Glitter - these two are almost impossible to swatch but very useful for doing fun ~effects~ on ur headers. the white is about as opaque as i've found in a gel pen, and the glitter is transparent so it goes over pretty much everything and just adds a hint of bling.

+Zebra DelGuard Mechanical Pencil 0.5 mm Hello Kitty & eraser - no joke the best mechanical pencil i've ever tried, i will never use another. it's one of them fancy japanese over-engineered sorts of things, and it's got all sorts of mechanics in it to keep lead from breaking, and it WORKS. as someone who prefers a fine lead in my pencils, having your pencil constantly shatter is frustrating as hell but i have literally never had that problem with these. the eraser is, i think, from sun star, idk. i got it cuz it was cute but it's really nothing special.

+Midori Multi Ruler 30 cm - this thing is super helpful for getting straight lines when doing bullet journal headers. the hinge helps it fold up compact & also lets it work as a compass but i typically don't worry about that.

next up, our ~fun colors~ starting with our minty greens

+Pentel Energel Clena w/ Turquoise Blue refill 0.5 mm - this originally came with a black ink refill but i wanted it to match so i bought a turquoise one separately and i think it's super cute. in case it isn't obvious mint green/teal are my favorite colors and so i love carrying around multiple options to give my notes a lil pop of my fav shade.

+Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pen Emerald Green - another new addition to the pen case, i honestly just stuck it in here because i didn't have enough room in the green section of my brush pen/marker organizer lol. but you know, it's my go-to fav color, it's helpful to keep around. like i mentioned up above i sometimes struggle with the pentel brush pens cuz of how juicy the ink is, so i don't use them as often, but the color is really pretty and they write very nicely.

+Zebra Mildliner Highlighter Mid Blue-Green - of course i am a basic bitch who loves mildliners. i own literally every color & this one is only here because it's a duplicate, and so i just stuck it in the pencil case to match everything else. but you know, every situation can be improved with a mildliner i think. (also stationery confession- am i the only one who likes the brush pens better than the regular highlighters? cuz i do. they're fun!!)

+Sakura Gelly Roll Moonlight 1.0 mm Pastel Green - another pen i am only keeping in here because it doesn't fit with the rest of my gel pens (i may or may not have a problem) but again, it matches.

finally, we have the Zebra Sara Push Clip Gel Pens 0.5 mm in Vintage Colors. did you think i was kidding when i said this was my favorite pen & i own every color? i meant every. color.

i really like these vintage ones because they're more readable than some of the bright/pastel shades of the regular pens. very sophisticated. also that green black matches so beautifully with all my favorite minty green shades.

so there you have it, everything i keep in my everyday pen case. if you're wondering this is a Sun Star Delde pencil case, this colorway doesn't exist anymore but i love these slide kind of pencil cases that turn into standing pen cups. very convenient to keep out on your desk. and, of course, it matches everything else. :D

#shut up chocolate #penblr #what's in my bag #too many pens? what? never. that's impossible.#of note this is not nearly the extent of my pen collection these are just my Favorite Ones that i like to use every day #minty fresh

Top 5 NPC toons!

okay so this was actually a bit difficult for me to answer because there are a lot of NPC toons i like LOL. answer under a readmore bc this got long

1) lil oldman. while i do get why a portion of the community disliked him (especially if you came from tto) i personally was always fond of him! this is mainly because he's one of the few npc's in tto who actually had a personality but also the more i think about it, it almost feels like the folks at disney were poking fun at how grindy it's own game was when designing his taskline? like you could pick up it was grindy at certain points prior but they really weren't holding back at that point. it's kind of a cruel joke in hindsight but it's amusing in a messed up sort of way.

clash's take on oldman is also incredibly funny. the way they wrote his dialogue is so good you can tell they had fun with it. i really loved how they referenced both the trading card lore (brrrgh's existence w/ the air conditioner) and the frustrations ppl had with tto oldman's taskline in the dialogue. even though clash wants to distance itself from the original game as much as possible, seeing stuff like that in-game truly warms my heart.

2) barnacle bessie. kind of a hot take but i said this before and i'll say it again: bessie did NOTHING wrong and i will die on this hill!! i always found it odd that ppl viewed bessie's actions towards misty as unreasonable/cruel esp when it's been established multiple times that the cogs have been stealing their resources and harming them. it comes off as ppl seeing bessie defend herself as a bad thing which is really backwards, imo. i think you can feel bad for misty while acknowledging that by being affiliated with a company that actively harms the toons, she will be viewed as untrustworthy by them. she also kinda reminds me of laurien in the sense that they're both resistance rangers who are used to/prefer working in the background but then got promoted to a higher position of power and initially struggled before finding their footing in the end (laurien failed being a leader in clo but got redeemed in oclo, bessie was struggling with the cogs in the beginning of bb, but was in a better position by the end of the taskline after our help). maybe i'm reaching with this comparison but idrc it's interesting to think about to me so i'm putting it here.

3) aunt arctic. i'm putting her on this list solely because of her toontask giving her the "i need to go sad." phrase. she being the only npc to tell you to go green yourself is comedy gold i don't care what anyone says.

4) mac opsys/winn dos. putting them together bc they're a package deal. i'm bad at trying to solve ARG's but i really like when these two show up! their friendship is super cute and i really hope we see them in-game at some point or learn more about them!

5) paletti swatch. while we don't know anything of their personality, i think it was super clever of clash to make it so that their design changes everytime you load into the playground! it's not a secret toons can change their size and shape due to their nature but it's a small detail that adds to the charm of a cartoonishly wacky, colorful world

some honorable mentions are doe vinci (her design is so cute! i love doodling her in my sketchpad), flippy, and tutorial tom.

#thankyou for the ask i'm so happy i got to talk about toons again!!!#toontown #talking tag #toonblr #toontag

a dining space makeover...If you follow me on instagram, you'll probably have seen my dining space evolve over the last few months. I never seem to get around to creating blog content on the rooms in my house despite the many photos over on insta - I think simply because they never feel finished and a blog write-up feels like the final result. Anyway, I thought it was about time that I shared some of the progress so far. I wish I had before photos but I never seem to whip out the camera when a room is a mess. To give you an idea, my dining room beforehand had a tiny wood table and white wooden chairs (you may have seen them in my last house a couple of years ago!) and it was literally just a dumping ground for months. I eventually decided it was time to do it up, so I got rid of the table and chairs, replaced them with new ones and started adding lots of character and details to the space.My dining room is a kitchen/diner so the side that you can see in the photos is the opposite side to the kitchen, behind the table on the opposite wall is all my kitchen units. It's a small space but it works really well for us as a small family! Now, let's get into the deets...the seatingThe dining table and chairs are pretty much the star of the show in a dining room, but you don't have to spend a lot to have the room looking nice. My dining table was £80 from Amazon, no it's not real wood it's laminate, but with a child I feel like this is a safer option for now. I'll hopefully invest in a real wood one down the line but for now this was a cheap one that actually looks fab. I get so many questions asking where it's from and sadly I don't think it's available anymore as my link doesn't work. I've linked some similar alternatives here and here. My dining chairs are from Sklum, they came as a set of 4 for around £80 which is also an absolute barg! I love them so much.Turn on your JavaScript to view contentstorage solutionsAs it's such a small kitchen/diner, having extra storage space was essential. I don't have much room on my kitchen worktops, there's only two/three small spaces for chopping boards and lots of the worktop space was taken up with the toaster/microwave/kettle/bread bin and all the other kitchen bits. I loved how spacious the dining area was in the top left photo above, that one got so much engagement on insta when I posted it too! But more space was needed, especially if I want to grow my family and will end up needing more kitchen appliances and having bottles to clean and what-not. Yes, a little premature when there's no baby yet but my plan is set to have one eventually so I may as well get prepared. It's so nice to have more worktop space anyway even without another addition so I'm glad I did it. I actually planned on getting a unit for either side of the radiator but I've just stuck with the one and it works so well for us. It was a bookcase from wayfair and has three shelves, it fits my coffee machine, microwave and all my big baking/mixing bowls on the bottom so it's literally one of the best things I've bought and it was super inexpensive. I also think it looks really cute which is a bonus!Having storage that's not just handy but that looks cute is my vibe, so I knew I had to have some of the rustic shelves put up that are really popular. I can see why as they look fab! Mine were from Etsy and came with the shelves themselves, the brackets and the fixings which was super handy. On the top I put some ikea glass cannisters with porridge oats, rice and pasta in which I think look so good but also save tons of space in the cupboards. I decorated them a tad with a nice plant and a bit of dried grass in a vase, but other than that they have glasses, mugs and saucers on that again, save space in the cupboards!Turn on your JavaScript to view contentadding character...I think character is so important in a home. I like my rooms to look pretty whilst also being functional and I think it's quite easy to do by just spending a little more on decorative items. Sometimes you don't even need to spend much at all though, for example my candlestick holders on the table were from Hema and were around £5. I usually buy most of my homeware in Homesense too as it's full of designer items heavily discounted. My cake stand is from there, as are all of my vases. I try to always have a bunch of fresh flowers in the house so I can stick them in the centre of the table as it really does make such a difference to the look and the atmosphere. Fresh blooms make me so happy! I usually pick up bunches of sunflowers or roses in places like Aldi/Lidl for £3 a bunch so really inexpensive. Sometimes I treat myself to a bloom & wild bouquet too and I'll often use my credit from sharing my discount link so that it doesn't actually cost anything.My gallery wall is the feature that I receive the most compliments on when it comes to my kitchen! I actually got this idea from Leanne so I can't take the credit but I really love how it turned out, It was so cheap to do too. I literally paid around £3 to get the photos printed in black and white from Boots, I chose some of my favourites of Ru and I and then I bought 9 frames from Ikea. The frames did add up, I think they were like £6 each?! But still not that bad overall to do and I love having photos of us both in the kitchen. I tend to film my home with prints and I had no family photos on the wall so that's what inspired this idea for the kitchen.You may notice throughout the photos I repainted my feature wall too. I initially started out by wanting to paint a section of the wall in a neutral (dulux egyptian cotton) then I added a moulding strip along the wall to make it tie in better and painted that black. In real life it tends to look like very greeny though so I got a bit sick of it and ended up painting it in farrow & ball downpipe recently which makes a bit more of a statement! I might change it again in the future - scrap that, I most likely will as I'm constantly changing things up, but I'd love a dark green or maybe even pink. We'll see. I painted the radiator in black on a whim and it kind of makes something that was really ugly, into more of a feature and I'm always being complimented on it. The black heat resistant paint was around £6 from amazon but you can actually just use normal. And of course I dotted tons of plants around the kitchen as you can never have enough!I would really recommend just having a play around with your dining space and adding to it as you go along, mine will most likely look even different in a few months as it's what I do. The fun part is that you can completely change a space with a lick of paint, different accessories or even with a table cloth/ table runner.Do you love adding character to a space?

do you have any favourite design work, just in general? your mecha work has always struck me (as someone obsessed with that kind of thing), but the dreamlike feeling of the semi-abstracted backgrounds is incredible

im gonna make this a bit long and also gonna introduce the 'good asks' tag for asks i spend a long time writing an answer for so its not lost to time

a huge inspo for my sense of design, wildly enough, was space patrol lulucos backgrounds. i cant find a better shot in google images of the way it renders space, but the screentone clouds really stuck with me and influenced how i use it heavily. i was really obsessed w the collage like bgs in particular and v singular color grading

gunbuster and diebuster are hugely influential, in different ways. im obsessed with the palettes in diebuster.. everything about the lilac stems from the exelion in gunbuster, the zephyrantes took its root entirely from the idea of a warship so large it has a train network and painted skies inside of it etc... the oppressive mech cockpits are heavily drawn from gunbusters. the nerv stuff in eva is also a big source of inspo.

a huge impact on how i approached backgrounds for coquette was tsukihimes, the singular blue color is why i only use a v limited palette for coquettes backgrounds... where i got started with planning coquettes bgs was the thought of using the same filtered approach but to simple 3d instead of photos. i ended up good at 3d so it never was simple though

hidamari sketch is maybe my fav work on the planet, and its a huge part of why im obsessed with screentone... my attention to detail with the living spaces of characters comes from it and the detail it gives to every characters room in the apartments, and how they each use the same floorplan differently. its visually stunning top to bottom in a way that only comes through when you watch it imo.. the use of photos etc has stuck with me forever, it rly is a show using 20000 art styles at once and rly gave me a lot of thought on treating direction as collage of styles you like

heartcatch precure is one of my favs ever, especially visually... i love how far it leans into like being very digital looking and uses color so strongly to convey a mood.. i remember being immediately struck by how it uses this sickly green color for the world/sky during the fights etc to build unease. i love how high contrast it is, i definitely drew a lot from its stark orange and black backgrounds for doing the duchy stuff

a lot of movies definitely stick with me visually, but its easier for me to think in terms of 2d/3d... the mishima movie (lmao) has directly influenced my bg art heavily, especially when i use these kind of overhead diorama esque shots

youtube

in terms of how i do 3d and shade it etc... a lot of is heavily inspired by the use of 3d in the code geass ovas (lmao), noone watched this ever so none of its documented but this AMV has quite a lot of it. the harsh shading in the scene around 00:20 is what influenced me using that style in the ch3 opening animation... the snappy fast violent animation is kind of my ideal for how i wanna animate mechs

i think a lot of how i design things is through trial and error, but theres a lot consciously floating thru my head around what kind of look id like to achieve... i dont actually plan much, ever. i animate with no storyboards, write without an outline, only do one sketch before settling on any designs, and mess around w colors for a scene until its done

hurtful things

+synopsis: genshin boys and the hurtful things they said.

+genre: angst; headcanons.

+characters: kaeya; diluc; childe; zhongli.

+warnings: swearing; crying; implied panic attack.

+order: hey bubs! i saw you doing requests and i HAD to ask for genshin angst :) spare me some tears pls <//3 preferably w kaeya or diluc or childe :) [submitted by @crackheadsara]

+author’s note: okay so i included zhongli bc he’s the love of my life, also i needed comfort from him after writing such hurtful things :D

+navigation: main menu, genshin menu.

— KAEYA.

“i’m better off without you.”

you know from the way your door was knocked in the middle of the night on a weekday after months, that it’s kaeya. you rub your eyes sleepily, trudging towards the door as anger and doubt fuse into a nasty green in your mind.

you unlock the door, pulling it open to see the man with the eyepatch tapping his foot on the deck of your home impatiently. he smirks when his eye lands on you, attempting to walk in but stopping himself when he realizes you're standing at the door, unmoving.

"kaeya, it's three in the morning. and it's monday. i have to report to jean in three hours," you mumble tiredly as you look up at him. the lamp grass by your windowsill outside and the moonlit night accentuated his cerulean eyes and contrasting coffee-colored skin. he frowns, peering down at you as he asks, "may i come in?"

you shrug, opening the door wide as you let the man in. he places his sword on the table and proceeds to walk into the bedroom when you ask, "where have you been for the past two weeks?"

"work," his reply is the same. you let out a sigh in impatience as you retort, "that's the same excuse as always."

he was tired and wanted to sleep off the fatigue from his latest mission. but when he hears you say that, something in him snaps and he turns around, his jaw clenched and a fixed glare making you a little agitated. he raises an eyebrow as he says, "well, unlike you, i am an actual important member of the knights of favonius."

"kaeya, all i meant was that you're always gone. you never write a letter back even if i send you one, and you somehow manage to come back every single time, expecting that it doesn't hurt me. what am i supposed to do?" your voice is small as you look down, hair drooping towards the ground. you're not even yelling at him, you're just worried. he always leaves you alone(sometimes you tag along, but you couldn't tell why nowadays he'd leave you alone without some sort of warning).

"does it ever occur to you that you're just a hindrance?" he bites back, thinking that you're trying to put up a front. you flinch at his words, causing him to force a jeer before he starts again, "you always come along, so maybe i wanted to be away from you for a bit. that's why i leave without a warning so i don't have to tend to your yapping all day. because i'm better off without you."

you gasp as you look up to his figure, now retreating to your shared bedroom. you hear him fall onto the bed with a content sigh as you stand there, wiping at your tears incessantly as hiccups escape your lips. you bit your tongue to stop yourself from crying, pressing a hand on your mouth to muffle the sounds so you don't disturb kaeya. you get a quick peek in, eyes widening when you see him sound asleep and tucked in.

so that's how it was, you think.

the next morning, kaeya wakes up to a cold bed as his arm reaches out to an empty space. his eyes immediately pry open as he wakes up, to see that you weren't here.

ah, he ponders to himself, you must've gone to tend to your duties.

he stretches, letting out a yawn before walking out to the kitchen. he smiles when he sees a plate of food left for him on the countertop with a note from you. but somehow, something felt very wrong about this whole ordeal. this had happened before—he had come back from insanely long missions to you before, so what felt different?

and then it hits him. the things he said last night. he frantically looks around, his azure eyes completely drowned in horror as he notices small changes in your shared household. a few picture frames are missing on the living room walls, your keychain isn't on the bookshelf anymore, and worst of all, when he runs into the closet, half of your clothes are gone.

did you really feel that bad about what he said?

in panic, he runs out and keeps going till he reaches the headquarters of the knights. he barges in this time, not returning the greetings of the guards upfront as he walks into jean's office.

"where are they?" he pants, "i-i messed up, do you know where they are?"

jean's eyes widen as she says, "our associates were having a hard time handling with the fatui in liyue harbor so they volunteered to go there for sometime."

"how long has it been?"

"they left long ago, it's about to be around ten hours since," she says. kaeya's heart shatters as he hears those words. he hadn't expected you to outright leave like that, but if you had said the same things to him, he definitely would've stormed out. his voice cracks as he looks at the ground in shame, "h-how long until they'll be back?"

"i.. don't know."

he regrets everything he's said. he truly does because he doesn't even notice that tears are streaming down his cheeks until jean comes to his aid. he hates himself for all of it—he hates that he has to live in a home where traces of you are visible everywhere; worst of all, he hates how he knows he lost you for good. even if you come back, he knows you wouldn’t run and melt into his arms like you did before. you’re gone now, fading into the darkness and away from him.

maybe it was for the best.

— DILUC.

“you’re nothing but a burden.”

after taking on a few abyss mages and mitachurls, diluc lets a grunt out in pain before you see the slash on his right arm. you gasp, pulling him to the side of the lake as you pull out a bandage and cotton from your bag to clean his wounds. he's reluctant to it at first, but he sits there quietly and broods as you clean the blood with cotton and some type of healing ointment.

you tie the bandage on his arm, a tiny bit of vermillion liquid seeping through the white cloth before sitting down next to him, finally catching a breath. sighing, you look up at him and say, "that was reckless."

"no, what you did was reckless. who told you to come along with me to dadaupa gorge? you knew what you were getting into when you came along, so don't put this on me," he grumbled, frowning as you look at him with narrowed eyes and furrowed brows. you are sort of hurt, but you know he's only saying this in faux indignation, so it's okay. you chuckle out, beginning, "diluc, i was-"

"i don't know why i even bother with you at this point," he exasperates, looking into the distance behind you. he curses slightly under his breath, his rouge eyes filled to the brim with anger as it finally overflows, "you're nothing but a burden."

your eyes suddenly flick to gape at him in disbelief. you stand up, your voice hitching in your throat as you ask, "diluc, you mean that?"

and it all simmers down into ashes when he mumbles "of course i do" under his breath. your vision is blurry as you walk away from the red-haired man, your body trembling as you almost give away that you're crying your eyes out. you walk back in the direction the two of you came from, leaving your broken heart in the hands of diluc, who sat by the lake not muttering a word after.

he knows he's said things he doesn't mean; he does that all the time, but you probably knew that. he figures you're leaving to catch a breath of fresh air—to be away from the tension-filled environment for a bit, you had a habit of doing that at home. he sighs as he ponders over his words for a bit. he knew it was wrong to display such harshness to you, but you probably knew he didn't mean anything by it. he always bubbled over rash things when he was frustrated.

the sun sets in front of him, painting hues of aubergine and peach as it flows down. he wonders where you are, getting up from his spot by the lake to venture towards the path you walked off.

only when he can't find you, is when he thinks that you might've actually taken offense to his words. although he cares about you sincerely, he finishes his mission first, getting a lead on the abyss order—because protecting monstadt was his first priority. you lingered in his mind every second of every day till he finally got back home. and when he didn't find you there, he asks adelinde about it, who only shakes her head and tells him, "i'm sorry, master diluc, but i haven't seen them come back. i thought they were with you."

it all pieces together in his mind now, how a small gasp had escaped your lips when he had called you a burden. the way you nodded begrudgingly, getting up and walking away from his presence as your shoulders trembled. the way he could hear you choke back a sob, but still ignored it, thinking you had overreacted in the situation.

he searches the whole city for you. he searches every nook and corner, and even walks into the headquarters of the knights of favonius(he ignores kaeya's teases instead of biting back this time). and when he finally sees you, he holds himself back. his hand is suspended awkwardly in the air as he reaches out for you, your back turned towards him.

maybe this was better—maybe it was a good thing that you had walked away from him. this way, the abyss order won't be able to harm you. this way, he won't be able to harm you. this way, you'll be safe and sound, away from the storm known as diluc ragnvindr.

— CHILDE.

“it’s not like you mean anything to me.”

it's not often you see childe. he's always in liyue, and you're here, stuck in monstadt or snezhnaya. it's cold today(as it always is) in snezhnaya, the snow covered almost everything outside as you looked out of your window, sipping on hot coffee as you sigh at the wilting roses on the sill. they'd wilted when you had gone to monstadt and you didn't have the heart to plant new ones.

just thinking about the blue-eyed childish man would make your heart bloom and cheeks flustered. you longed to spend more time with him, really. if only he wasn't affiliated with the fatui, he'd be able to spend more time with you. it had been months since you had seen him, and you longed to be in his arms once again, but who knows when that'll happen again? whenever he comes home, he chooses to spend a night with you and then head back. he'd laugh alongside you, tell you about his adventures, and give small reactions when you told him about yours. and the next morning, you'd wake up to an empty bed with a small note by the table, saying how he has to leave for work.

a knock at your door snaps you out of your entranced state. as you open the lock and look out, you see childe, standing there with a tired grin and disheveled hair as he walks in without a word. he hands you a small paper bag, saying, "i brought you back something from liyue this time."

the same excuse, you think. it's always the same. he brings back small mementos and souvenirs as a pretense for staying, and by the time you think you can forgive him, he's gone. he plops down onto the sofa, stretching his arm out so you could join him. the thought of confronting him crosses your mind, but you shake it off—since he had only just gotten back.

the night is the same as always. talking about each others' adventures, eating dinner by the fireplace, laughing alongside one another until you hit the bed. it's quiet now as you watch over his sleeping figure, his lapis-colored eyes now hidden. you sigh as you lay there for hours on end, twiddling with his brown hair as you wait for him to wake up(so this time you can actually say goodbye).

when his eyes flutter open, he's a little taken aback when he looks over at you to see you wide awake. his brows furrow just a smidge as he says, "you're up."

"well, i wanted to say goodbye this time," you chuckle dryly, "you always leave without waking me up."

"i don't like the way you said that," he says, getting up from his position on the bed. you look away from him, your eyes displaying hurt as you murmur, "i don't like the way you leave."

"well, it's my job. it's not like i'm an adventurer like you, wasting my time around. i'm a harbinger and i have responsibilities," he says. his voice is neither too soft and nor too prickly, and you can tell that he's a little worked up by the way he lightly nips on the skin of his bottom lip as his gaze bores into you.

"i didn't say you don't. all i said was that you could maybe sometimes stay for more than one night. it feels like you're using me, and when you're bored, you leave."

"oh?" he cocks an eyebrow as he stands up, "i'm using you, huh?"

you grimace at the tone of his voice, and when you look at him, you notice the sheer annoyance he puts up towards you. your voice is small when you ask him if he loves you—because you don't know anymore. seeing him once in a few months for the past few years has sure hurt you more than anything, and if you don't tell him now, then you might never get a chance.

"what if i say i don't?" he smirks, walking up to you, "it's not like you mean anything to me. what if i agree that i am using you to make myself happy until i'm bored, so i can then throw you away?"

he doesn't like what he's saying either. his mind is screaming at him to stop, but he's worked up. he's irritated by the way you jabbed at him first thing in the morning, even though he knows you're right. his heart almost stops when he looks at the expression on your face after he says those words, and as he reaches out his hand for you, you turn away.

your voice cracks, and he's sure his heart did as well when you mumble, "i-i'd like you to leave, please."

"wait, i didn't mean-"

"tartaglia," your eyes look into his, perhaps for the last time, as you give him a sad smile, "you don't have to come back to me anymore."

it hurts him as he leaves your home that morning. it hurts him when he comes back months later to see that your home is now empty. it hurts him because he tarnished the you that was once his.

it hurts him, but he thinks it's for the best if you stay away from him if all he does is bring you pain.

— ZHONGLI.

“i’d like you to leave me alone.”

zhongli was never one to pick fights. he was peaceful; his thoughts were positive(most of the time), and he almost always preferred to talk about his problem rather than fighting about it—he believes that fighting will only bring pain, so why not confide in one another about our problems instead?

he's quiet. he's not shy(it's quite the opposite, actually), but he's one to prefer to only talk when absolutely necessary. he's the type to listen rather than speak, saying something like, "we have two ears and one mouth. speak less than you listen."

he smiles when his mind goes back to the time when he said that to you while having a cup of tea together, and you'd replied, "my mother used to tell me that when i was a child."

because it's true; every child in liyue harbor has heard those words at least once in their lives. the quality of listening is appreciated more than the quality of speaking—and zhongli, for one, was a listener.

you, on the other hand, were a speaker. you always woke him up every morning with a smile as bright and everlasting as the sun, babbling about breakfast and tea as he got up from the bed. you were the one that carried conversations on your shoulders on morning walks, you were the one that intertwined your fingers with his as the two of you walked amongst flowers, adoring them as you talked about the contrasting colors of silk flowers and glaze lilies. he loved you for that. he loved you because you were a speaker. he loved you because you were a perfect balance, the only one who could soften his hardened heart. the only one whom he'd chosen to wake up next to in the mornings, the only one whom he'd let ruffle his hair without asking(because he secretly liked it).

so why had he reversed the roles tonight? why was he the one to bubble out his frustrations to you, speaking in a cold and stern manner instead of the loving tone that was only reserved for you? why was he the one to speak tonight, and why were you the one to listen?

it's not like he was actually frustrated—he was only thinking about something else as you asked him what he wanted for dinner. it surely wasn't your fault when he had poured over turbulent words to you. and he knows that the ones that hurt the most probably were, "i'd like you to leave me alone."

he looks up at the stars, a heavy sigh escaping his lips as he walks back into his shared home with you. he looks around, and when there's no sign of you, he feels himself break apart even more.

had you actually left? he wants to run to you and tell you he hadn't meant any of those words because he hadn't. he wants to touch you, to caress you, to please you, to make you smile—and he wants to admit he was wrong. he wants to make it right, but he doesn't know where you are.

he walks into the empty bedroom, sitting on the cold mattress as his eyes sting. he doesn't understand what's happening, or why there are small drops of water falling from his eyes. he doesn't understand why everything feels heavy all of a sudden—his heart, his throat his lungs, everything. he doesn't understand why he feels like he's trapped in a box, and the water seems to be filling up more quickly than he'd prefer. he wants to reach for air, but he can't.

he couldn't breathe without you.

he hears the door close and immediately gets up in haste to walk to the living room where he sees you take off your boots. you turn around to see him, his disheveled hair and frantic eyes finally calming as he walks over to you and engulfs you in a warm embrace. his throat cleared up, and so did his heart and lungs as he mumbles against your ear, "i'm so sorry."

you smile smally, looking up at him as you cup his cheeks and wipe a stray tear, and mutter, "it's okay, zhongli. stress gets to the best of us."

god, how he loves you. he places a small peck on the top of your forehead as he feels his lips turn upward at your touch and the scent of glaze lilies lingering over you tells him that you'd been to the flower garden. he sleeps with your fingers weaved with his that night and pulls you even closer if you untangle with him in sleep.

he makes a promise to himself saying he'd never hurt you like that again, and he keeps it.
