wishing everyone a great day ୧ ‧₊˚ 🍵 ⋅!!

jeong yunho was a nobody.

he was pretty sure even his professors of the past couple years still hadn't noticed his presence in classes, let alone know his name.

and then there was you.

it was just another monday morning: you were (as always) rushing to class and yunho was (as always) struggling to carry a heavy stack of books from his umpteenth visit to the library this week. and without realising it, you two collided.

the sound of multiple thuds of books falling to the gravelly road and a tall figure bumping into you was startling, and even though you seemed to be in a hurry, yunho remembers you took the time to help him gather up all of the fallen books, loudly muttering "i'm so sorry" repeatedly. he noted how the fuzzy, oversized, sweater you'd worn had become untucked from the side of your flared jeans. how your nails were filed clean, prim and proper but your wrists adorned by numerous hair ties and bracelets that seemed to all be one big tangle.

"i'm so sorry once again, i wasn't looking" you said.

"it's alright, i clearly wasn't either so it's no problem'" yunho smiled.

"thank you for not losing your shit at me, most people around here would've...sorry, i didn't catch your name?" you questioned.

she wanted to know his name. no one wanted to before.

"yunho" he said with a tight-lipped smile. "and you?"

"i'm y/n, it's nice to meet you!" you brought your hand up to look at your watch. "shit, i've got to get to my class" "but see you around yunho!" and with a quick goodbye, you scurried off, not waiting for his reply.

but it didn't matter to him. because for the next week, all yunho could think of was your pretty smile, your kindness, and your angelic voice.

repeating his name over and over.

jeong yunho started to feel like a somebody.

ANOTHER TIME (Teaser) JJK

Summary: All you wanted was time. Time to love your husband. Time to feel him love you back. To see his smile again, not shadowed by grief and resentment. Time to share laughter instead of silence, warmth instead of distance. To feel his arms around you, not the cold of where he used to be. Time to hear “I love you too” before it’s too late. Time should’ve been simple. But somehow, it always slips through your fingers just when you need it most.

[Theme: Best friends to lovers to strangers. Marriage AU]

[Pairing: Creative Director!Jungkook x Ceo!Female Reader]

[Future Warnings: Long one-shot, Major Angst. Multiple Flashbacks and Time Jumps, Mature Theme, Eventual Smut]

[MINORS DNI! 18+]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The soft hum of ocean wind curls through the half-open window, brushing against the layers of your dress — light ivory silk and whisper-thin tulle that moves like the tide. The bodice hugs your frame with gentle structure, hand-stitched with lace resembling seafoam swirls. A short train pools behind you like a gentle echo of waves. Hair pinned back in a soft, low twist, a single pearl comb tucked above your ear.

You’ve been ready for an hour. And still, you wait.

A knock breaks the silence.

Hobi peeks his head in. “Ready, Mrs. Soon-To-Be Jeon?”

You give a weak smile, the kind that doesn’t quite touch your eyes. “Hey.”

He steps in, holding his hands together like he’s going to burst. “You look stunning. Like, might make Jeongguk cry before you even make it to the aisle stunning.”

You laugh, but it comes out breathy. Your fingers fidget with your dress. “Hobi…”

“Yeah?”

“What if this… changes everything?” He straightens, eyes softening. Allows you to go on and share your worries with the look he sees on your face. “What if we ruin it? What we had? What we have? We've always been best friends before anything else. What if being married ruins that?”

Walking over to you by the dresser, he sits beside you. “You’re scared that love will erase the friendship?”

You nod. “Or twist it. Or make it... different in a way we can’t undo. What if we lose what made us, us?”

Hobi is quiet for a second before he takes your hand and gives the warmth of someone who’s walked beside you through every heartbreak and happy hour, like he’s always done. “You know what I see when I look at you and Jeongguk? Two people who chose each other. Again and again. Through confusion, bad timing, the whole messy ‘do we ruin the friendship’ crisis—hello, I’ve had front row seats.”

You huff out a laugh, watery and small.

“And yet,” he continues, “you still found your way to this moment. Love didn’t replace your friendship. It grew from it. If anything, it’s the strongest damn foundation two people could ever ask for.”

Taking a deep breath, you realize he’s right. He’s right. You know it. You feel it — even now, when doubt tries to knock.

Your chest loosens just a little.

“You’re not losing anything,” he finishes. “You’re building something new — on everything that already made you strong.”

A smile appears. Real this time. “How did I get lucky with you as my second best friend-slash-man of honor-slash-wedding planner-slash-therapist?”

He grins. “Dunno. But I’m billing you later.”

The sun dips low as golden light spills over Gwangalli Beach. Purple tulips sway above the arch over the altar, the sea whispering close behind. A hush falls over the small, intimate crowd as soft music plays and you step into view.

Jeongguk’s breath catches the moment he sees you.

He looks like he’s been waiting his whole life for this.

You walk toward him, and for a moment, everything else fades. Just him — shining in the sun, eyes already glassy, hands slightly trembling. He lets out a breathless laugh, like he can’t believe you’re real.

The officiant speaks, but your hearts are already speaking louder.

When it’s time for vows, Jeongguk reaches for your hands — his grip warm, steady despite the tears threatening in his eyes.

“I don’t remember the exact moment I fell in love with you,” he says, voice thick. “Because it wasn’t just one moment. It was all of them. Every inside joke, every late-night walk, every time you looked at me and saw more than I thought I was, every stupid argument we’ve had over ramen flavors.” The crowd laughs softly. “You were my best friend before anything else. You still are. And I promise, no matter what love turns into, I’ll never stop choosing you.”

Your chest tightens. You try to smile through the tears.

“I never imagined we'd end up here, but I’m so grateful we did,” you begin softly, “You’ve seen every part of me — even the ones I tried to hide — and loved me anyway. Today, I promise to keep choosing you. I promise to love you, even when you leave your outrageous toe socks all over the house.” Another soft laughter comes from the crowd. “I vow to be your rock, your hope and your home. I’m thankful for every moment we’ve shared and I can’t wait for the many more to come. I love you – always and forever.”

The officiant smiles. “You may now kiss—”

Jeongguk doesn’t wait. His hands cradle your face as he leans in, lips meeting yours – soft, sure, filled with every promise you just spoke and the ones you didn’t have to. Everything around you fade. The applause, the waves, the soft music — it all dissolves into the feeling of his arms around you.

Because in that moment, it’s just you and him.

Still standing. Still choosing.

Always.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You think of the love and happiness that once filled your marriage, a flicker of warmth igniting as you glance at the wedding photo set as your phone’s wallpaper. The photo where you and Jeongguk stood by the altar, laughing, eyes bright with promises that felt endless. His hand linked with yours, a simple touch that once felt like home.

You trace his face on the screen, wishing you could go back to that moment, hold onto that feeling, that warmth.

But all you’re left with is the fading memory, slipping through your fingers.

STARRY NIGHT ┊ s.jy (teaser)

kinktober day 13! - masterlist

warnings: smut, MDNI, tba.

genre: smut

☆ chrucrchboy!jake x reader ; “You and I under the moonlight. We bloom at night.” Jake and you have been friends since you relocated to the same area. You never imagined that this sweet guy you go to church with every Sunday would have these naughty fantasies about you, and no one else. After your birthday, he took you to a beautiful garden far from your home, where you could make love in secret, unheard.

taglist: @blushbunini @moonpri @blackp1nkfan @mitmit01 @pasteltheghost16 @harukayoiiiiiiizzz @mlywon @lhspeachie @seraphira @kaykay11sworld @winuvs @yuniesluv @shhth @rizzki09 @mylettterstoyou @d-dilemma @aanniikkas @hooneyz-luver @laylasbunbunny @nyfwyeonjun @minniesverse

"Y/n, come here!" -Jake waved you over excitedly, beckoning you to the entrance of their house.

"We've got to hurry up! We can't stay out late, you know this pretty well." -you whispered.

And then, in an unexpected turn of events, you found yourself sleeping in a completely different place that night.

Jake had everything all planned.

You told your parents you'd sleep at your friend's house, but you were not even near the village. He and you snuck out, and ran up the little hill, through the river, arriving at a wonderful garden. Although your legs and the end of your white floral dress were wet from stepping into the water, you didn't care. You were too busy admiring the pretty sight in front of you. The moonlight lit up the night, making everything look magical.

Jake held your hand and led you to a blanket between the tulips and roses.

"Do you remember what I told you before?" -his gaze sparkled with excitement. "About the woman who cried in happiness because of her partner?" -you asked, your voice full of curiosity. "Yeah, exactly. I'd love to make you the happiest person in the world too." -his fingers traced your skin, sending shivers down your spine as he couldn't take his eyes off of your pretty face and cleavage where your cross necklace shined.

Hii~~ Today's writing is just a teaser for my future work. I'm planning to publish it in a longer, more detailed version. I hope the preview caught your attention a bit and you'll support it!

Sending lots of love ₊˚⊹♡

— WHEN THINGS WERE SIMPLE (teaser) a Lee Minho fiction

⭐️ : Lee Minho(Leeknow) x fem. reader

TROPE. school romance, 90’s summer romance, bestfriends to lovers, online au, strangers to lovers, highschool au, small town au

WORD COUNT. less than 10k (most likely)

WARNINGS. light cursing, deep conversation, bankruptcy, anonymous online chatting between strangers — this is in no way recommending anyone to join anonymous chat rooms nor meet up with strangers irl

AUG’S NOTES. hi everyone!! i hope you’re all doing amazing, sorry it’s been so difficult for me to post recently 😅 the taglist for this fic is open so feel free to send in a comment/ask if you’d like to be tagged! thank you for so much support over this.. year and half i’ve been on tumblr?? i hope this fic is up to your expectations, love you lots!!!!

SYNOPSIS. Lee Minho, the newest resident in your small town, has already established a reputation as the Class President despite moving only a week ago. You, on the other hand, don’t really see the appeal, or maybe your schedule is too jam-packed to consider the prospect of boys. In the meantime, you join an anonymous chat room with this so-called "lino98," and eventually, the stranger recommends that you meet holding a yellow tulip and wait- is that who you think it is? 

or alternatively :

Whoever you’ve been talking to in that chat room was definitely not who you thought would be standing in Marronnier Park with a yellow tulip in hand.

“Hey! The sign says no throwing!” You scold, rushing to fix the arm to the statue as the tires on the boy’s bike screech to a halt. And suddenly, it feels like everything’s in slow motion when the perfectly kept head of brown hair swivels back to face you, sharp jawline and piercing eyes belonging to a model-looking stranger you’d never seen before.

Thursday morning was when you first met Minho. Although, you didn’t know his name then, nor that this interaction－the daily magazine breaking your statue’s arm－would change your life.

.

.

.

His expression drops, looking rather bored despite your obviously frazzled (and flustered) state.

“How much?” The bewilderingly attractive boy asks, and it takes you a moment to register what he said, repeatedly glancing from the statue back to him like he was speaking a foreign language.

“It’s.. It’s priceless.” You huff, regarding the stranger with a hard glare as if he’d broken some holy vase or something—he didn’t. In fact, the only reason you felt so worked up was because once your parents saw the statue, you’d be grounded in an instant. You, on the other hand, could care less about the stupid piece of marble.

Mail Boy cleared his throat, his feline eyes studying your face. “Is that so?” He asks, No, mocks. Except his facial expression stays completely unmoving the entire time. It’s like something out of a horror film. “Then it’s especially priceless now, huh.”

Something about his gaze sets you off, not to mention when he flashes a cheeky grin that screams nothing but trouble.

Kicking the kickstand up and hiking his leg over the seat, you freeze in your spot from both shock and confusion.

Where is he going.

Is this guy serious!?

“What’re you- hold on- you can’t just leave!” Racing after him while he positively sped ahead of you on bike, you scream out, slowing down to a halt after a few minutes to watch his silhouette disappear below the winding road traveling down to the village.

Hunched over trying to catch your breath, you mumble silent curses, dragging heavy footsteps up the small arrangement of stairs to try hiding the broken part behind the statue the best you can.

Brushing off your clothes and adjusting the straps to your bag, you start down the same way he disappeared, stomping and groveling in your misery similar to that of a child denied their favorite toy. It’s quite a sight.

Tomorrow, you’ll give that attractive-Mail-Boy-whose-name-unknown a piece of your mind. You’re sure of it.

My thoughts on Primer: Clashing Colors #1 - "Color Me Impressed" (2024)

This was a comic I was waiting a long time for and was super excited about its story. Not because omg New character, Primer!! Nah, because of Teen Titans lol

That too the TEEN TITANS ANIMATED SERIES 2003

I seriously had high hopes for this comic but let's just say I'm disappointed.

Without getting into spoilers,

The writing is just meh at best. Primer is fleshed out decently but the writing for TT03 cast is horrendous at worst and ooc at best.

This comic also suffers from the "Telling but not showing" problem, similar to Nightwing (2016) comic by Taylor.

It's clear that the writers prefered Primer but it's almost like they didn't really do much research over the Titans' personality and that was of less priority. They act a lot like their TTG! (2013) Counterparts rather than TT03 characters. Even the humour is similar to TTG! (2013) and not the original show unlike what was being advertised.

As a Primer comic, it gets the job done and highlights her nicely but as a teen titans fan who was looking forward for the TT content rather than Primer, it's pretty disappointing and saddening.

⚠️ Now getting into spoilers ⚠️

(click off if you want to or scroll down to the end if you wanna skip and basically go to the summary)

The introduction to Primer is pretty decent and I think it does a decent job and blooming her personality.

I believe most of you here must have seen this particular panel in the teasers before the comic's release. It catches the TT03 essence nicely but this is where characterisation jumps in.

As I said Primer as a character isn't of concern to me but as a TT fan, TT is.

So here's where things went downhill in characterisation and character consistency.

You are saying Slade came out in the open, got unmasked and it's of NO big deal to Robin?

Lemme rephrase this to you; Slade, the evil mastermind, who never does anything without a reason and NEVER leaves his basement other than the reason for kidnapping children, touched grass and came out at day and Robin is unphased? It doesn't make ANY sense.

Even more so, when the story tries to pretend it's on purpose.

Slade was NEVER unmasked other than that skull reveal scene and that one Easter egg from TTG! 2003 spin off comics. So the fact, this scene was displayed as something comical is genuinely baffling. The Titans KNOW he doesn't get caught unless there's a catch. This part makes absolutely zero sense.

Then this part ...

The problem with this part is, characterisation. BB debatably acts like himself but Raven? No. It's ooc for her to go "Awww :D" like that. If anything, the best possibility is that she'll say the same line but she'll say it with full and utter sarcasm.

I think most BBRAE fans will agree with me on this one but they both had romantic POTENTIAL but they weren't anything other than good pals in the show. And we haven't gotten any hint at their relationship even in the spin off comics which were canon to show. Which in simpler terms means, this is ooc. Most of the development BBRae can have is after the show and after they get older. But the comic claims they are same Titans who haven't aged a day thus THIS IS OUT OF CHARACTER FOR RAVEN TO SAY!

Raven is a gloomy, sarcastic character who doesn't express what she feels instantly or openly, it would have made a lot more sense if she said the same line sarcastically (where she could blush implying a subtext incase they really wanted to insert BBRae but not making too obvious)

It really makes no sense for her character as depicted in TT03 to suddenly melt at the idea BB giving her tulips if it is the same Raven from TT03. Raven isn't that stereotypical girl character. She's a reserved and introverted person who was still learning to open up even to the series very end.

If this is the TT we know and love, this can't be her.

I'm not bashing the ship btw, I'm bashing the writing. Atleast be faithful to the character's personality while doing fan service!!

If you say, it's the same people who haven't aged a day since the last time you met. You can't have it be that oh yk they changed. Both the statements can't be true at the same time.

Then this scene:

This scene looks straight up from TTG. Back to making Robin dumb af and the team bashing him into normalcy. I'm tired of this trope like jeez, TT ROBIN WAS NOT LIKE THAT!!!

Infact if anything, "Can we just call it 'the battery'?" Line is something BB would say not Raven. Also Starfire getting mad at Robin for saying a long name and rolling eyes? She would never. Robin taught her earth customs and language patiently. If anything, she's that one person who would never eye roll on Robin even if he says something dumb. If it's the same Starfire from TT03 AS ADVERTISED.

Then there's this panel....

Two things, Robin never had a car in TT03. He had a bike named R-Cycle. Second, Starfire always carried Robin while Beast Boy carried Cyborg as a Pterodactyl. The Titan with a car was Cyborg. And when the car was out, everyone rode the car instead of taking the skies. Why the hell would Cyborg be carried out by Starfire when the car is right there??? It makes no sense.

It's incredibly strange how the writer is going long lengths to not make the two (Robin and Starfire) even merely interact with eachother.

How hard is it to just be canon accurate? These are stuff you catch on literally one rewatch. Did the writers not even do that or did they go with fanon or what they remembered from their childhood or like spent 5 mins trying to remember the characters through YT shorts and called it a day?

Like this is the only time they technically look at eachother to talk anything other than business:

Then coming back to Slade, I said the story tries to pretend it was all on purpose.

This further proves that this Slade isnt the same evil mastermind we knew of. This is some other guy.

Then this,

Yk what the awful part is? This . This isn't something you would see in TT03 or anything similar. This is simply something you can expect to see in a fan comic.

And wanna know what's worse? Ravager already existed in TT03 verse except she was Rose Wilson not this guy. This simply just means the writers didn't even BOTHER doing minimum research on the show beforing stamping in characters.

========================================

SPOILERS END!!!

Like I am genuinely lacking words as to describe this mess of a Teen Titans 2003 representation. This isn't them at all.

If anything, this isn't anything like they promoted and advertised. If anything, this is simply a TT03 AU which has nothing to do with the show.

It's neither faithful to the show nor the characters nor the established canon.

If anything, this feels like a shameless cash grab..ik some of y'all be mad at me for saying this but yeah. That is what this is.

If anything, it feels like a clickbait way to get people to Primer without actually bothering to respect that clickbait through which you are trying to pull people in.

It's shameful and disappointing and if I'm being honest, this got boring fast. I didn't enjoy it at all.

The writers prioritised cheap comedy and Primer over the Titans who are apparently a big part of her journey. They didn't even feel hesitant in making all the characters go ooc. The story itself is pretty bland and not interesting and genuinely nothing unique about it other than the Titans who apparently were TT03 as left on the final episode.

Anyway, this feels like an AU TT03 self insert OC fan comic at best or a version of TT based on TTG 2013. Frankly, it has the humor and characterization of TTG. Infact, I think this can totally work out as a 'tame' episode in TTG.

Introduction of Primer to TT and her demeanor to them to get along and on the team gave off Massive Terra vibes, it's almost like the writers got heavily inspired from it.

Tldr, the characterisation and characters of TT aren't like their TT03 counterpart but rather TTG one with a lot more grounded personalities. They often go ooc and say things which they won't say if we went with TT03 canonicity. Deathstroke is basically a joke now. The story itself is boring and uninteresting and doesn't make me like Primer any better. The comic falsely promotes this as the TT03 version even though this is, at best, a TT universe maybe inspired by the 2003 show but not the 2003 show. It's closer to 2013 one.

Personally, I'm severely disappointed and I'm gonna say it again, this is a total cashgrab and not worth reading.

"Compliment" Teaser

Crowley awoke to the smell of coffee and butter. He savoured the smells, the warmth of the linens, before realising it was Valentine’s Day morning and he had plans. His hand snatched at his phone – seven thirty. Fuck, fuck, fuck! He had meant to be up at six, baking fresh croissants and brewing tea for his Angel. Crowley had envisioned a quick shower, a brief detour to buy fresh roses, and surprising his Angel in bed. But Aziraphale was not in bed. No, the bastard was in the kitchen, making Crowley the romantic breakfast.

Bastard.

Propping himself up against the headboard, Crowley waited for Aziraphale to enter. He was wearing his dressing gown, loosely tied around his middle, and carrying a breakfast tray of heavenly delights for Crowley to enjoy. There was a plate of French crepes, expertly prepared, with lemon curd and a sprinkle of sugar. Freshly squeezed orange juice. A small vase with two yellow tulips completed the breakfast plate.

“It’s…yellow.”

“My favourite colour.” Aziraphale’s hands cradled his face; the pad of his thumb gently brushing underneath Crowley’s golden irises. Crowley wriggled, flushing under Aziraphale’s intense gaze. “Happy Valentine’s Day, my darling.”

[d10medes]

My humble opinion bout the Dead Cells: Immortalis trailer.

Pls don't take this seriously, I'm just mad lol

I'm in class rn, and I'm no series critic, but I have an immense need to rant randomly about this trailer, so I'mma start.

First of all: the art style, I know that it's a whole ton of job to animate, and they wanted simplified characters. But the whole thing looks like an Amazing World of Gumball episode. Literally, the Beheaded looks like a tulip. I know bobby pills worked in captain Laserhawk, and they have the same style as Dead Cells Immortalis, but in the teaser they promised the style of the game trailers, I don't know, it's a bit disappointing.

Speaking of which, the beheaded is completely... Off? Idk. I like that they kept his silly nature, but didn't take off that arrogant and strong quality of his. But for some reason he suddenly cares about people? Plus, why does he talk? Isn't the whole joke about his character that... He doesn't have a face, or a mouth to speak?

Laure's character is fine ig, it's just a random character that entered the story. But it's a bit weird for them to add a character that doesn't have anything to do with the game at all.

And the story is completely different, the only thing that connects to the game is the Beheaded wanting to kill the king and being able to revive after death, but now he also wants to end the malaise (for some reason) And the "bosses" don't even look like the ones that are in-game, they look like something you'd see in a Siammes music video.

Anyway, the moment it comes out I'm gonna rewatch it a hundred times, but it's a bit disappointing.

[forthedancingandthethriving]

On The Run - Forced to keep on the move, Tulip can't stay for more than a day in any spot before those.. things find her. What are they? What do they want? With no time to take care of herself, there's only one other thing on her mind - will she get through this?

Songbird in Shadows - Harmonia is in chaos, and Luminos is definitely not safe. With no way to figure out what's truly happened or how Lumiere managed to strike a deal with those.. demons, Nimbus is forced to discard her usual self and put up a front so that she can lead her and the other surviors to safety.

Nightmare's Ward - With Dream King and the Stars out of commission from the otherworldly newcomers, Irene is forced to rely solely on the Nightmare King's powers. With the Bright and the Ruinous showing interest in whatever these things are, she forces herself to lock away all feelings of hesitancy.

Gilded Ringmaster - Doing away with his usual get up, Juliano takes on the new role of being a hopeful beacon for the surivors. While the circus seems to be immune from whatever has happened, the ringmaster can't help but fear for what may happen to his loved ones.

○●○

Something something costumes for the characters alluding to Project Thunder.

Something something the memory virus starts making them change to this costume involuntarily.

Something something these are used IRL as a teaser for Connected Cosmos.

Dollhouse Chapter 1: Teaser

God Meets Barbie Teaser

Spring flowers bloomed like paint on a blank canvas. Yellow tulips bleed into red roses, accented by violets and stark white daisies. A handcrafted bench sat in a stone clearing, outlined by dewy moss. The setting of the tea shop was perfect for Minho. Every day after work he would visit the small business, get his cup of tea and a blueberry scone, then sit on his bench. So, one day when someone was in his spot he stopped in his tracks. He was about to tell you to leave, that you were ruining his daydream. But then, the light hit your face just right.

Honey gold sunlight dripped from your features. He could tell your skin was soft as silk. Your hair was framed by a beautiful white bow. The dress you wore reminded him of a romantic picnic. It was strawberry red with white squares. The way it flared at your waist gave the most stunning illusion. The skirt pillowed your lap where your smooth legs crossed over one another. Sweet little high heels sat on your feet. The femineity that emanated from your stature excited Minho. A poetry book perched in one hand while a cup of herbal tea sat in the other. You looked like a doll to him—the most beautiful Barbie doll.

CY: Xiao Qi… Is there no way you can accept me without physical contact? SQ: I can't. I want to fully be with my other half… to hold hands without restraint, to kiss, to hug! CY: I can give you more. Your words hurt 10,000 times more than the pain in my heart. CY: Xiao Qi… I will never let those regrets from 500 years ago happen again

Machine translation: I don't understand Mandarin. Used Google and Yandex image translators + my edits to try to make it make more sense. (Disclaimer bears repeating.)

There are 10,000 ways for the person who loves you to return to your world. A girl on an isolated island falls in love with a man who steals the island's secrets. Shen Qi: Please, don't hurt my people! A girl died under a man's sword to protect her tribe. Five hundred years later, the two meet again. SQ: Is your name Chi Ye? A man saves a girl and they develop a crush on each other. Man confesses to girl Chi Ye: I like you The two get along sweetly. Then, the girl discovers information about her past in a hidden room, and inquires about the man's name. SQ: Then what's your name? Thinking about dying by the man's sword. SQ: Did I die? Unless she makes him fall in love with her. [Note: unsure about this line] Girl remembers her mission from her last life. When his sword points at your people, you must die by his sword. Ridden with guilt, the man melts the island's magical bell and reforges it into a nail to drive it into his own chest. When the wind blows but the bells hanging from the island's bell tree stop ringing, his beloved will wake up again. He waits for her for 500 years... SQ: At what cost? The two of them will never be able to love each other again. Regardless of the spell's prophesy, the two fall in love again in this life. But they can no longer hold each other's hand… Can't help the other up if one falls… They kiss with a pane of glass between them… But that's not all of the punishment. If someone breaks the terms of the contract of fate, lives that were originally spared will be lost. Could people really be such fools? SQ: I have … experienced it myself.

Thank you for reading!

just my personal rambles about how much i love fontaine utc ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ ` ꒱ྀིა

i’ve literally been bottling up my sheer adoration for this country since we started getting hints at it and teasers; i share a mild connection with france itself as french is my second language and i spent majority of my childhood between marseille and london so i was so excited for a sense of familiarity in fontaine and i was also incredibly excited for the lowkey steampunk aesthetic they gave fontaine )):

so like first things first; the archon quest??? has left me gasping, shaking, bawling, on my knees choking on tears!!! and like the best part about it is that it’s only just begun <3 my favourite thing is that with past countries, we could get a feel where the archon quest plot was going. in inazuma you recognise that ultimately you’re going against the raiden shogun and you’ll fight her before you can ask her about your sibling and in sumeru it becomes obvious that the government is the problem and you need to free the dendro archon but in fontaine? where are we going with this?

what is the prophecy truly? is it from a curse from celestia? what about furina’s status? is she just another helpless archon drowning her sorrows in trials because if she doesn’t live in that moment she’ll remember the prophecy she undoubtedly believes in, knowing her people’s sins will never be washed clean? what about arlecchino? is there actually a good motive behind her or is there going to be a hidden twist when you least expect it? how the hell are we supposed to help fontaine from submerging? and what about childe’s loss of control for his vision? i’m SO EXCITED because i have so many questions and very little answers! (who knows i might update this with more questions after doing 4.1’s archon quest)

then there’s the soundtrack!! i don’t know about yall but i’ve been going idle in absolutely every place possible just listening to the music and the ambience. i’m absolutely in love with the underwater music, i have my favourite underwater song playing in my teapot and i sit in my teapot in awe every time <3 i’m so excited for future regions’ music and how these new locations may differ from what we have now (not to mention the range of orchestra instruments hoyo included in making fontaine’s ost!)

not to mention all the species! i love the clockwork concepts (especially the dogs pfft) but also just the animals in general??? the OTTERS?! the blubberbeasts and even the seahorses, the dogs that wear silly little outfits and birds that look like they came out of pokemon aaaa <3

the flowers !! pluie lotuses that i pick every time i see them because i would kill just to have a vase full in my kitchen window <33 and the rainbow roses that look more like tulips or the lumidouce bells that are like the lovechild of bluebells and lily of the valley ): i can’t wait to see more as an ex-florist who still clings to her relationship with flowers

melusines <33 need i say more? their quest regarding elynas had me sobbing and screaming honestly, i long for more lore about them - not to mention they are such funky little genderless creatures, i aspire to be them hehe - and more quests regarding them; like i physically need melusine content or i’ll be perishing ):

character outfit designs!! everyone just looks so good i’m sorry but there isn’t a single outfit i’ve even remotely disliked yet. everyone looks amazing, hot, baking some damn goods - like we got geo taylor swift and electro lana del ray, an archon with heterochromia, some elf looking ass man who could be a dragon - or an otter, i like otter more - the wolf looking mf who wardens a prison??? magicians in thigh highs, stockings, garters and boots?! with matching bows?! AND FREMINET’S WHOLE DIVER’S HELMET ORDEAL AND COLOUR PALETTE?? i can’t i’m too in love with everyone (and all their english voice actors are fantastic too!!)

the airships being the most fun thing i have ever seen in my whole life, i routinely go on the airship at the west slopes of mont automnequi because you can see almost all of our past locations there! you can see deshret’s masoleum, the divine tree, the jade chamber and (i think) dragonspine. not to mention you get a good ass look at fontaine and some things in areas we haven’t got yet - also you can see how close celestia is to fontaine… i still remember all the theories about celestia and mondstadt (╥ ω ╥)

being able to dive out of water with fontaine characters & hydro traveler (please please please let us dive with wriothesley and neuvillette, just because they’re the first two tall characters we’ve got i’m so curious if we can)

building a relationship with berrypuff ♡(੭´͈ ᐜ `͈)੭ proceeding to cry when we release berrypuffier and then cry again when you run into them in the wild <3 i’ve also grown attached to the dog in the ship graveyard, i go there daily to feed them chicken and i cook dishes while i’m there hehe

the dishes in fontaine!! i still cackle daily about fonta ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა oh and salsa! she’s so annoying but at the same time i love that kid hehe

i could go on for too long aaaa.. i love fontaine guys. i thought i was sad seeing sumeru finally go but i think i may cry when it’s time to leave fontaine. i’ve never been so excited for a genshin region and plot since inazuma and inazuma has always been my favourite up until now. i think the only things i’ll be excited for after fontaine is meeting the tsaritsa and khaenri’ah <3

When Things Were Simple : moodboard

— FIC TEASER ⭐️ ( releasing late-august )

Whoever you’ve been talking to in that chat room was definitely not who you thought would be standing in Marronnier Park with a yellow tulip in hand.

Flower Boy Teaser!

This is just a teaser of the series! - Michi

WC: 590

Pitter, patter. The sound of soft long streams of water seeping down from the eaves of the roof. Water spatters across the window. A chilly feeling emits around the shop.

drip drop...

A drop of rain, plop, plop, plop. Hazel’s head nods awake, feeling drowsy. Thick long eyelashes batter gently as he awakens. He looks ahead at an empty vase in front of him, right on the table. He was setting up a vase as an order. Tulips, carnations, and Gerbera daises. Freshly cut and neatened up. The sound of rain fills his ears, nothing else. Such a quiet day. He slowly moves his droopy head to the side to look outside the window. His blurry vision clears, and the sight of water droplets slide down the window and disappear into nothingness once reaching the sill of the window. Slowly he brings his eyes up to watch the flowers droop, moisture dripping from its seams. A sigh leaves his mouth.

Ready to get back to work, he prepares. Stretching briefly feeling stiff, from what it seems he fell asleep sitting up? Standing up from his chair he swiftly grabs the vase and makes his way to a nearby sink in the flower shop. Filling it up with lukewarm water. Only filling it up to a third of the vase's size he shuts off the running water, leisurely walks back to the counter, and huffs back into his chair. His eyes heavy and body lazy, he sloppily removes the rubberband off of the tightly enclosed flowers grabs some shrubs from the collection behind him, and starts to assort the flowers. Carnations first, daises next add the shrubs and tulips together. Before quickly fastening a pretty ribbon, thick and shiny. The color being a baby green. sliding a handwritten note from the customer. Apparently, these flowers are meant for an anniversary, for a lover. Hazel lets out a long and tired shrug. "I'd rather sleep outside on the street than be stuck looking at these cheesy notes all day." Hazel clicks his tongue. Letting his head slam into the table, sulking. "Home school your child, it'll be fine they said, THEN WHY DO I FEEL SO DEPRIVED!" Hazel wriggles around feeling helpless, softly banging his head against the tabletop, the silence of the shop was slowly driving him insane. As much as Hazel didn't like talking to people as it felt like a waste of energy, he wanted to have someone to talk to, or at least listen to. All he's really ever done was sit here in this flower shop ever since he was young. A family-owned flower shop, his mother being a florist and his father a botanist.

Rocking himself back and forth, he's been wanting to ask if he can go to the high school nearby, and sure he's heard from his cousins is an honest hell hole, and feels like some sort of social experiment where although you are going through changes but that doesn't matter because you also have to learn, study, and keep up with the system or else you have less of a chance in succeeding in life but, at this point in hazel's life, he needed some chaos where else is better to be able to experience such hellish brain crushing, heart-stopping, ball-crushing, embarrassment and harassment than your local public school. Or even worse your local private school holds some of the worst people you could ever meet but at least their kind of fine, or are they? But anywho, who gave a fuck? Not Hazel.

To be continued...
