#this honestly got away from me but hey. it's gepard. can you blame me?

[yuanology]

the insufferable thing about insufferably good people being in positions of power is the fact that somehow, they think that their power is a reason for being undeserving. it's as if now that they can do impossibly good things, they don't find a reason to live beyond simply to be good to other people. it's like they stop being a human being with their own wants and needs.

take gepard landau, for example. captain of the silvermane guards, an exemplary figure amongst the citizen's of belobog, just overall an exemplary man. the kind of person everyone either wants to have or wants to be. gepard landau was perfect, too perfect sometimes.

but, aeons, doesn't he look most perfect when he's trembling like this, on the brink of falling apart but not quite daring himself to break in fear of judgment.

as if anyone will know of his failings but you.

you hushed him softly, your hand tracing over his calf in a soothing motion. it didn't stop the way gepard was still shaking, gazing up at you with so much unrestrained desperation in his gaze.

the silk was an incredibly wise addition on your part; one that would undoubtedly soon turn into an addiction. could you be blamed for it? gepard looked so beautiful like this; knees tucked against his chest, stripped of his uniform and all of his titles. he was just there, naked in all the ways that mattered, entirely undone for you.

you tugged at the confines around gepard's lips, pulling at the silk so that it hung from his jaw. the sounds that escaped him was ragged, all incoherent, but you understood him all the same. you shushed him gently, hands framing his jaw.

"it's okay," you whispered. "just a bit more, okay?"

his eyes were glazed over, mouth parted as low pants escaped him. for a moment, he couldn't say a thing, lips forming soundless words, but you were patient. you always were. just for him. just for him to fall apart.

"please," he rasped out. his tongue darted out, sweeping over his lower lip. a nervous habit. "please, let me..." he trailed off, as if even he wasn't sure what he wanted.

you did, though. so you smiled at him. "okay," you told him. "you'll keep being my good boy, is that right, darling?"

he shuddered, his head moving stiffly to form a short nod. "yes," he said firmly, decisively. as if he was making a decision for the better of belobog and not simply to obey you. "yes. i will."

"good." you ran a hand through his hair, mouth pressing a chaste kiss on the crown of his head. "another thirty minutes, how about that? i rather enjoy having my muse stay in place as i let my inspiration run itself through."

"okay," gepard agreed, his voice hoarse and so, so agreeable. his gaze looked blank save for the bits of hazy pleasure you could see bleeding into his irises. you were steadily losing him in the best way possible.

it was always a sight to behold; gepard landau, bound, wrecked by the sheer intimacy of having himself restrained by you as you let him break.

so perfect.

a fucking masterpiece.

Heya! Gosh, you were really over-achevieving with those headcanons, huh? It's great to see! (As long as you're fine with it and don't get overwhelmed/burnt-out ofc)

I was kind of wondering what your favorite girlies are! So is it alright if you tell?

It can be HSR, ZZZ, or both!

—🔺️

Glad you saw my little headcanon work! I wasn't getting burnt out, so much as I was worrying about my works being repetitive/bland to read, since I made all the HSRs in one night and stuff...

And sure!

For HSR I have... too many, I think... I don't really have one singular one I obsess over, so much as I have a bunch of gals that I say, "Awe! Look at the cute idiot babygirl! I luv her so much! Awee! She so dummy! HEY! BACK OFF FROM HER! I STF I WILL FIGHT YOU! GO AWAY!" Whenever there's interaction with them.

For HSR there's Asta, though I think I mostly like her backstory and her Character Event Quest because she sadly doesn't get all that much interaction throughout the game :<.

She'd be such a caring girlfriend, though! She's probably never had someone who's genuinely wanted to date her for her, so she's constantly overanalyzing everything that she and you do. She probably tries her best to have good communication, but frets and worries if it's something too small, and probably blames herself for the smallest things, like if you were to get a migraine, or are pushing yourself at work a lot and come home late.

That's something she'll need to work on a bit, but she'll catch on if you're clear about what you say, and a simple, "I'll tell you if I need some space, or if I have a migraine, so you don't have to guess." Should put her at ease.

March is so silly, and I adore teasing her in-game, her reactions are incredibly cute and amusing. And the way that she just basks in the fact that you're praising her in the new Marcher event is honestly so, so cute! If there was ever a choice between teasing and praising, I'm not so sure I'd be able to choose between the two.

She'd absolutely be such a fun girlfriend to have! I like taking walks a lot, and it would be really cool to go sightseeing or something with her!

Stelle is the little idiot-jokester... I love her corny face so much. And. That. Voice! Have you HEARD it!?

I took a bunch of recordings of her voice, at first it was mostly because it was so rare for her to talk, but later it was because of how it sounded! I began to notice during the Ruan Mei event, when Stelle's choices weren't matching with her words. Then in Fyxstroll Garden Quest, and now in 2.4 she's more vocal than ever! It's great!

She's also such a mischievous little goober! If she had earned any less than 2 Praise-of-High-Morals during her lifetime, she'd totally be doing poorly-done graffiti, and I would 100% follow along!

Topaz, Robin, and Firefly are some standouts. I just keep. Coming. Back to them.

Topaz was the first banner I ever rolled on after getting HSR, when I was a confused little nugget that had no clue how to work this new UI, and... I failed and got Yanqing instead...

Robin was the 2nd banner I rolled on, before I even hit the Luofu. I was majorly confused about her, but caught wind of the Robin!Lesbian?! Drama and defended her by.... ignoring the ones in denial, because everyone else argued before me, and also better than me, so I stayed quiet, but began to learn about her on the side.

Long story short, I rolled for her and got... Gepard.

Finally, I reached Penacony. And really, really ended up falling pretty hard for Firefly. Robin was great, but I didn't get to interact with her all that much :<

Firefly, though...

Throughout your journey on The Astral Express, we've visited many places. And while some journeys collided in opposition, others coalesced for a common goal, journeying with Firefly and going on little dates with her...

Felt like the first time I was exploring someone else's world.

Once I heard Firefly's banner was coming up, I saved like 50 bucks, and a bunch of Stellar Jades and got...

Gepard.

Again.

Then I rolled and got Firefly 50 warps later :D!

I like lots of the HSR girlies, but these are some of the more special ones.

Now for Zenless...

None of them are specially special, but I adore Anby so much! I want to go on a movie date and get some really great junk food with her!

I love characters that have this straight-forward, but not-quite-all-there sort of brainspace. I really, really want to see more of Anby!

Nicol is pretty neat, too, though I mostly have a little attachment to her because, just like with Anby, I insta-upgraded her as soon as I could. I don't care if neither are going to be useful longterm, my wifies. Need. Their. Promotion!

I want to wait a while before anything else. Currently she's at Cinema level 5 with the banner.

Oh, who's banner by the way—?

Zhu Yuan's.

She and Grace are two characters that I like pretty-well. I think it's mostly the promotional material (since I sadly haven't gotten to their parts in-game yet :( ).

So much personality oozes from what they do, what they love, and how they interact with the world.

Once again, though, I really love them, but I can't vocalize why until I see them in-game.

B-b-b-booonuss rooound!

I'm never going to do Genshin Impact, but screw you, I'm giving you the ladies I love from there, too!

Fun-fact:

I've only played Genshin three times.

Each time was because of 1 character.

I love 5 of them.

Let's start.

I first started playing because I was reading TV Tropes to see what Genshin was all about, and went into the character section to check out some of them, because like 3 of my friends were just like, "Yoooooo! This dude character has a jiggly BULDGE!"

"Okay?"

"AAAAA!"

Thus. I stumbled upon Collei. Then, I read her manga. Then fanfiction. Then I checked out some of her art.

I heard there was an event going on at that time where you could get a free Collei.

I assumed it was limited time event, and downloaded the game. Wow... it sure is taking a lot of gigs... even more than FateGO and the Yu-Gi-Oh card game combined... it's still going....

Anyway, after hopping on, not understanding anything about what anyone was saying and getting a Noelle I turned the game off to go to sleep.

I woke up, got my wings from Amber, and tried to do this quest for this Pirate Dude in Fantasy Police Force.

Then I began to travel and died by a level 12 Hillichurl.

"Too bad there's no automatic healing system and no quick-telwports..." I grumble to myself, not realizing that there are, in-fact, quick-teleports.

I dropped the game after that, but I still really love Collei.

I like Amber because she's Collei's best friend and helped her through serious trauma, and also from a fanfic I once read.

I liked Amber enough to make an OC similar to Collei, except her trauma isn't very traumatic, and she lives in the forest with her mother and people who kidnapped her when she was a child.

Then Jean.

I really like Jean

Funfact: she's extremely reminiscent of my first favorite Fate GO character: Chevalier D'eon.

Additional fun-fact: The first X Reader I read was a Jean x Reader headcanons!

She's so baby, and I want to hug and cuddle all her stress away!

Arle. Fricken. Cchinno. Arlecchino.

I don't think you know how many Arlecchino x Fem bots there are on Character AI. It was SCARAMOUCHE level (well, maybe half his level, but that's still a ton!)

I kept seeing various Arlecchino x Fem!User bots over and over, and so... I clicked, and chatted, and chatted with various others.

It was only when I heard her in relation to Genshin that I found out, "Wait? She's an already-established character?" And the rabbit hole was jumped down yet again.

Only this time I burrowed.

I picked up the game again, for a day, and spread the contagious dirt into my best friend's eyes (as I often do), until she was infected.

Then we were making regions and OCs, and Archons.

Very fun.

I love Arlecchino, and, though I'll never get her, she'll likely be my first thought whenever someone mentions Genshin.

Lastly, and most-recent:

Mavuika!

I don't know a lot about her... but... those sunglasseeessss! Those EYES! That zipper that I somehow didn't notice until someone mentioned it. Those eyes! Gooooshhhh! I really just want to push her into a wall and nuzzle my head right into her throat while she squeezes me tight!

Legit thinking about installing Genshin for a 3rd time, just for her.

A/N:

Wow! All of that was super-long and unhinged.

Why am I like this?
