fInaLllYYY A GOOD WRITER WHOS REQS ARE OPEN AAAAAAAA can i pls have uh diluc and reader being pushed into a closet together cuz kaeya did it lol and i had this idea for so dayum long and i need somebody to write it forme cuz i am rlly dum -w- -mio tysm :DD

- Jam-Packed -

Tw: None (small spaces perhaps?)

Wc: 859

Summary: Diluc and Reader get pushed into a closet by Kaeya.

Genre: Fluff

A/N: Wow this took so long to answer life hasn't been the best atm. Thank you for your patience, mio! I hope you like it <3 // No Beta Read // Very rushed!

Masterlist -> <3

All of it happened in a blink of an eye, you and Diluc in a tiny little wooden closet that could barely fit two people in. The lack of space made it even more difficult to be in a comfortable position which explained why your limbs were practically tangled. Hell, you could even feel the man’s rushing heart and warm breath against your back.

Kaeya what have u done??? :(

“Now, this is awkward,” you managed to mumble between your lips, your heart beating with the same rhythm as Diluc’s while shifting left and right.

He had to swallow the lump in his throat before bringing out a reply, uttering a faint ‘it is’ as a response.

Poor man, he’s quite annoyed and nervous,,,

Not annoyed at you though <3

You’re just so so close to him that he’s afraid he’ll make you uncomfortable in some way

Sending my prayers to Kaeya once he finds a way out of the closet

After many failed attempts to escape you both soughed tiredly, sweat covering both of your foreheads because of the gradually increasing warmth in such a narrow space.

“It’s quite warm,” he commented, noticing the glistening drops on your forehead thanks to the slight bit of light that peeked through the closet’s doors. Sluggishly, he slipped his hand in his pants’ pocket, rummaging through it before sliding a rather fancy handkerchief out. “Here. You’re sweating, use this.”

Suddenly, your lips feebly curled upwards while gladly thanking him. Grabbing the piece out of his hands, you put it on your damp forehead right away.

He cARES 🥺

Poor thing he’s actually sweating himself…

Look Diluc is dressed like a Victorian maiden he is transpiring in bUCKETS

But on another note, he doesn’t mind being this close to you…

And the same thing applies to you as well… ;)

All of a sudden your eyes noticed the glistening spots on the crimson-eyed male’s cheeks, carefully you placed your fingertips on his sweaty face, your lips forming a small ‘o’ shape upon noticing how warm it was.

“You’re too warm… And your face—” without a second thought, you removed the handkerchief from your own face and put it on his right off, wiping the droplets away with such gentle movements.

Thank god it’s dark in the closet because Diluc is blushing-

The man in front of you muttered a soft ‘oh’ before thanking you, lips forming an unnoticeable small smile because of the kind gesture. He clearly felt his smooth locks being pushed away by you whilst the droplets of sweat were being cleansed.

Not saying he loves this, but he loves this

Especially the way your fingertips brush so frailly against his face makes him wEAK

As you were keeping yourself occupied by removing the drops on his face, Diluc’s hands lazily went to his black tie. Carefully, he loosened it whilst exhaling deeply on account of relief. “I don’t think Kaeya will let us out of here soon,” he enunciated.

With a soft nod you agreed with him, the atmosphere increasing in warmth every passing minute.

“We should do something to pass the time,” you suggested as you let your fingers run through your hair, “maybe we can talk?”

Oh no

Oh no talking-

Diluc dislikes small talk in my opinion

So do I-

Esu Diluc kinnie??? /j

“Small talk would be kind of boring and it quickly would lead to silence. I’ve read an interesting novel recently where ‘love’ itself had played a major part in it and I can’t help but wonder,” you inquired, facing him before asking your question, “what do you think love is?”

Before answering, he took his sweet time to come up with a thoroughly thought response, his face expressing impressiveness yet shyness upon such a deep question. You certainly weren’t an ordinary individual in his eyes.

“First of all, I think people have different views on what ‘love’ is. So, I’ll just be telling you my personal opinion briefly. I think love is something where you gradually become fragile and give your lover the power the destroy you, yet you trust them with your whole heart not to.”

Wow so simple yet so tender- <3

“That’s a lovely way to view it,” you muttered between your lips that were curling upward, your shoulders brushing against his as you were gazing into one another’s eyes tenderly.

He’d ask you something philosophical back-

And this would continue until the two of you were practically getting blinded by a sudden light

“Man what a conversation you two had… And I thought something exciting would happen in the closet,” the navy blue-haired man scoffed whilst looking downward with a disappointed gaze, sighing deeply before leaving the room directly.

He’s aware that Diluc would whoop his ass

“You can find me in the tavern the most evenings,” the man informed you as he was standing up, extending a hand towards you while smiling very clemently, “I must say that the conversation we just had was rather interesting. I’d appreciate it if we could talk again in a more… appropriate area.”

Now, who were you to say no?

[scaramoucheslove]

Oo hello!! I discovered your Albedo fic while on my scroll, and sheeesh 😫😫 made me feel things,,,,, but I digress, could I request how Xiao or Albedo would deal with a bratty sub?

And,, if I may,, could I be 🏵 anon? ;0

A/N: Hi, Love! Tysm for your support <33 I actually thought no one liked or even read the Albedo smut lolol. Also yes ofcc!! Hello my first anon :D also I’m gonna make this as a HC/drabble thingy hehe

also I’m so sorry if it’s shitty aaa 

How they would deal with a bratty sub (HCs)

(Xiao, Albedo)

What to expect: Rough shit, Petnames, Dacryphilia, Overstimulation, Degradation, Dumbification, facefucking, Exhibition kink pls tell me if I miss anything ^^

Smut beneath the cut

XIAO

·         Really easy to get on his nerves tbh.

·         Would definitely not tolerate your behaviour. Especially if you’ve been good.

·         “Stop. Behave.”

·         His punishments would lowkey highkey hurt </3

·         He’ll give you the rough treatment, choking, marking, overstim, you name it. Maybe even toys??

·         D E G R A D A T I O N <33 you will be hearing no praise from this man.

·         Humiliation too omgomgomg

·         DUMBIFICATIONNN AA

·         Will most likely use the name “Pet” “Doll” “Bitch” “Slut” “Whore” etc

·         And you’ll have to call him master in bed, but today we’re going to pretend that you just didn’t feel like it.

·         “Tsk, seems like my pet is misbehaving again”

·         I feel like he wouldn’t like physical roughness as much, since he’s not much of a sadist. But if he felt the need to remind you of what your position was, then he’d probably only go as far as spanking.

·         If you cry, he’ll humiliate you for it

·         “Are you crying? Where’s your act now, brat? Continue counting.”

·         Deep down, he loves lives to see you cry.

·         He’d continue to overstimulate you with his mouth, fingers, and dick until you were begging, crying, screaming, thrashing.

·         He’d mark almost every part of your body

·         He WILL choke you and bite your neck as he’s pushing himself inside of you.

·         Mans has no patience, will go ALL out on you. Who cares if his hands and tongue were too much anyways? You were the one who wanted to act like a brat.

·         “If you don’t keep that little mouth shut, I’m going to stuff your slutty mouth with my dick you whore.”

·         And if you keep pushing his buttons? He would.

·         Completely facefuck you until you’re all fucked out, crying and out of breath.

·         He loves to see himself in your throat.

·         The type to hold your nose while he shoves his dick down your throat  <3

·         Not the best at aftercare, but he still tries his best.

·         Will apologize to you even if it’s half assed, gets you cleaned up, and brews you a nice cup of tea.

·         You probably drifted off to sleep already once he brought you tea.

·         Will smile and hold you close and even though he doesn’t sleep, he would still just lie on the bed and appreciate every moment with you.

                                             “Xia- Master- ah- please” you didn’t even know what you were begging for now. For him to stop? For more? You didn’t know. What you do know is you’ve been begging for over an hour now, your voice was hoarse and tired after all your screaming. Your eyes were watery and begging for forgiveness. But alas, it went from one ear to another. The room sounded so sinful. The two of your sweaty bodies collided, your arms clinging onto his neck as he continues to pound into you. Faster. And harder. “Stop. Fucking. Shouting.” He said while he thrusts in every word. Annoyance clear in his voice. “Shut up and take it, will you?” He said before moving his arms from your hips to your neck and applying pressure. “Dumb little sluts like you don’t even deserve anything from the likes of me.” Seeing your drooled up face, he couldn’t help but say “Look at you all drooled up, doll. You look so stupid like this. Who else can fuck you stupid like I do?” “O-only you mas-ter” you managed to say. He smiled momentarily before his other hand reaches your clit to rub it as your mouth fell open. Fighting the urge to call you his good girl.

 ALBEDO

·         I’M IN MY ALBEDO FEELS PLSS

·         He’d just be like 🤨🤨.

·         Usually completely unaware and uninterested so he’d continue to do his work.

·         You have to be a real brat to really test his limits.

·         I think he wont be rough intentionally. He’s just rough without realizing he is. Even on your daily sex life.

·         OKOK NOW if you DO manage to break him somehow, here’s some of the punishments he’ll prolly do.

·         Humiliation.… degradation… bc chile… he ain’t much of a talker but SHEESH if he dirty talks it’s over. Oh but he won’t go too far. I hope..

·         He also sometimes uses you to help with his experiments.

·         Spanks, chokes, slaps, and other physical things but not too roughly, just for “research purposes.” And sometimes for punishments too if you ever got too out of hand.

·         Loves to see you tied up tbh <33 really likes to see you all helpless.

·         Gags on occasions (if he’s working on an experiment or punishment and he’s not in the mood to hear you moan or make a noise or anything)

·         Dumbification?? without him realizing it?>@>@*&^$^$% 

·         Petnames <33 plspls i beg u call him sir or master bc that’s such an ego boost for him. I mean you don’t have to but like,, why wouldn’t you.

·         Also loves the thrilling feeling of someone catching you two.

·         Toys,, sometimes.

·         Imagine being a brat in your daily life and one day he just snaps.

·         As he was doing his work, you, being the brat you are continued to test his limit. From asking him dumb questions to “accidentally” smashing/destroying his experiments.

·         He just sighed, cleared his table and said,

·         “Y/N. Come here.”

·         You would be so shocked that you froze in your spot.

·         He never really paid attention to your actions, just casually answering your questions from time to time.

·         “I said, come here.”

·         His voice was stern, but calm.

·         “Don’t make me come over there myself.”

·         You, along with your shaking legs, were slowly making your way towards him.

·         “Sit on my lap.”

·         You did as you were told. Hell you were too scared to do anything he didn’t say you could.

·         “Say, did you know the things you broke?”

·         You just shooked your head as your legs kept shaking.

·         “Since you don’t know how to keep your hands to yourself, I’m gonna force you to keep it to yourself, brat.”

·         OOP I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE IT AS A HC LMAOO IDK I’LL CONTINUE IN THE DRABBLE LMAO

.         Anyways probably kinda good with aftercare.

.         Will apologize if he’s too rough and shower you with attention. If you’re lucky enough, he’ll skip his work that day and the day after to spend a day or two to make it up to you.

                                       Albedo continues his ministrations on you. “Master- fuck slow down” you panted. Your hands tied above your head. you were sprawled on his table as Albedo continues to insert 2 fingers inside and out of you. “Oh? Were you not searching for my attention then dear?” He inserted another finger as you whimpered. “You were the one who happened to mess with my experiments, after all.” “But I-“ you didn’t manage to say anything else before he has his tongue on your clit. He had kept your legs open with a tool so you had no power against him. “Albedoo~” You whine once more which caused his other gloved hand to slap your clit. You flinched a bit, but fuck that felt good. He stopped moving his hands and said “You better be quiet before I gag that mouth of yours.” He continued to thrust three fingers in and out of you again as you rolled your eyes back and moaned. “Fuck, you look so dumb, doll. You look so pretty like this.” You heard the door knock and you immediately looked at Albedo while shaking your head. “Come in” you heard him say. A man went inside the room and stood still with some files in his hands and clearly distracted on whatever was on the paper. “Sir, we have a prob-“ Once he saw what was going on, he looked a bit terrified. “Continue. What is the problem?” Albedo asked calmly as he pumped his fingers in and out of you. They continued to talk about some things you couldn’t register because you were slowly losing your mind little by little, although the man did sound a bit flustered. By the time they were finished, Albedo just said his thanks and told him to close the door. His mouth latched onto your clit once again surprisingly fast and your mouth fell open. You were sure drool was everywhere. “I’m going to keep going until you’re all brainless and unconscious. But before I do-“ just as about you were about to reach your high, he pulled out his fingers and gave you a look. You whined at the lost of contact. “You better be ready, my love.” That was all he needed to say before you realized, you were in for one hell of a ride.

STOP OMFG I DIDN’T MEAN TO MAKE ALBEDO’S LONG I HAVENT EVEN FINISHED THE CHILDE SMUT I’M WORKING ON

[dvluc]

these are amazing icons! i literally love them :D, i kinda wanna know how to make icons but tysm!

ahh thank you thank you!! icon making is very fun, and takes a lot of patience to perfect!! i know you can do it though, you just have to take your time <3 here is my process to making icons :))

-to begin, i’ll take screenshots either from an anime or from official art. afterwards, i’ll crop them to a square size, and pick nine that i like the best.

-after i have my screenshots, i run them through an app called waifu2x to make them less blurry. doing this can also make your filter apply easier and appear more clear as well! i usually set noise reduction to three.

-next, i use an app called polarr to apply my filter. making a filter takes a lot of patience, and it can take a little while to find what you like. it took me a long while to get comfortable with a filter, and it has changed a lot since the beginning of my blog!! make sure to not get frustrated and have fun playing around with the settings! eventually, you’ll create a filter that is a reflection of you and your likings.

-usually, if i am using a filter that does not have noise, i will run them through waifu2x again to make them as clear as possible. however, because my filter is more grainy, i do not. waifu2x is an app that gets rid of noise, and if i were to do so, it would take the grain off of my filter.

-finally, i post my icons! i arrange them in a way that is most pleasing to the eye, and thoroughly tag the post. tagging is an important step, as it allows people with similar interests to find your icons. after some time, you will begin to notice that you are building a bigger following! just be sure to take your time, and enjoy creating icons; have as much fun as possible!!! feel free to reply under this post if you have anymore questions :) i hope you enjoy making icons!!

Hello dear! I'd like to request a (private) selca ship with got7, bts and ateez, and with an explanation please. I always find it interesting to hear the reasonings behind the choices😄 tysm for doing this!🥰

@missiontheworld Hello Beautiful of course I can take your request. You really know how to take pretty photos. Thanks so much for your patience your ship of finally done...

From Got7, I ship you with...BamBam

Ahhh double B!! if looks could kill it would be the both of you. You both have your own fashion sense that is to die for although it’s completely different styles, it’s still unique. I can imagine you planning out your outfits for the night before and take selfie’s with the 5 other outfits you couldn’t wear that night. You both look incredible with small amount of makeup and blue eyes. I can also imagine him just having a blast with you no matter where you two go. You two love traveling so he would show you around his favorite spots in Thailand while you show him your hometown so he can have your family’s blessing.

From Bts, I ship you with...Jungkook

Ahhh you both look amazing with blonde hair. Not only that, I feel like he would be following you around like the cute bunny he is asking you about what places he should travel next especially for food. I can imagine kookie pinching your cheeks all the time whenever you do something that’ll make him blush. You also the man bun duo tying each other’s hair into cute buns. Jungkook would learn so much from you and would feel comfortable asking you for guidance on certain life problems. Maybe would even get matching tattoos with you so a part of you stays with him.

From Ateez, I ship you with...Mingi

This guy is a master flirt and knows how to make people heart skip a beat. He would pull all the tricks in the book in order to get your attention. I can imagine him being super random by slowly leaning in on your face just so he can take a closer look a your ocean blue eyes. He would make an excuse and say you had an eye lash stuck in the crease of your eye and wanted to get it out. He would be your personal makeup artist and help apply mascara and lip balm because that’s his specialty lol. Idk about your height, but I can already tell this man will still be much taller than you looking down at you smiling. He would be your giant teddy bear and the man that would always be one call away.

Out of the 3 princes, I ship you the most with...Mingi✨✨

Thanks again for your request and feel free to come back again soon with any other requests. Muah❤️❤️

How I Got the Best Curly Hair of My Life, Thanks to Instagram

http://fashion-trendin.com/how-i-got-the-best-curly-hair-of-my-life-thanks-to-instagram/

How I Got the Best Curly Hair of My Life, Thanks to Instagram

If you had told 13-year-old me that someday, in the faraway future, hundreds of people would generously teach me how to take care of my curly hair on an app called Instagram, I would have cried. Okay, I would have asked what an app is and then I would have cried.

I have only very recently (like, in the last year) started loving my hair in all its maximalist, effusive glory. I used to straighten it every week all the way through high school and college. Now, though, I’ve come to realize that much like bright colors and clashing patterns, frizz and curls better reflect how I feel on the inside than stick-straight strands do. My hair is as much an expression of my personal style as my rainbow sweater collection.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy, however. Sometimes it looks like this (please see left). I often think about what Shiona Turini said when she shared her hair routine on Man Repeller after switching from straightening it for years to finally wearing it natural: “I’m […] learning that no two hair days are the same. It has a mind of its own and it depends on so many variables. I can only embrace it.”

She hit the nail on the head. Curly hair is higher-maintenance than a teacup poodle. As much as I’ve come to enjoy mine, I do not enjoy the mental space it takes up in my effort to make it look its best — the product application, the air-drying, the spritzing, the oiling — and even then it often turns on me out of the blue, sticking out at a weird angle after a restless night’s sleep or becoming broom-like after too much contact with my beloved chartreuse mohair peacoat.

Exasperated after a recent bout of curly hair betrayals, I turned to my favorite therapist-cum-search-engine (Instagram!) for advice. I asked for three things: 1.) general curly hair tips, 2.) how to preserve my curls so they maintain their luster for multiple days after washing, and 3.) where to get a good curly haircut in New York.

Messages poured in from people with every curl type under the sun, some offering advice and others asking for me to share said advice. I was originally going to post the responses on my Instagram Stories, but I received so many requests I figured there was a real thirst for it — enough to merit a permanent post on the interwebs that could be easily referenced in a post-mohair pinch. Below, find the answers to my three queries as culled from Instagram, plus the routine I’ve adopted since, and please oh puhleeze deposit any additional curly hair secrets in the comments below if you have them.

General product recommendations:

“Camille Rose. All its products are great! But the Algae Renew Deep Conditioner is my holy grail. I have super duper curly hair and it helps my curls stay lush.”

“Shea Moisture!!!!! Truly revolutionary!!!! It isn’t high-end and it’s very affordable. But the same brand has a higher-end line called Madam C.J. Walker. Absolutely life-changing. Use the shampoos and the hair cream for after the shower to keep the integrity of your curls.”

“Shu Uemura Wonder Worker — best product I’ve used for a frizz-free air dry.”

“Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Pre Shampoo Treatment!! It is a pre-wash treatment but I leave it in overnight. It is the only thing that saves my curls from all the heat damage I do to it!”

“I use Curl Keeper. It’s a Canadian product line, so I’m not sure if you can order it to the states but nothing tames my curls quite like it!”

“I just started using L’Oreal EverCurl Sculpt and Hold Cream. It’s NOT CRUNCHY and makes my hair shiny with less frizz. I also love Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum and Davines Curl Building Serum.”

“Evo Liquid Rollers Curl Balm is a game-changing product!! My hair is just like yours and it supports the curls but is not crunchy one bit! So soft!”

“Lush’s Dirty Hair Styling Cream is really good for light definition and it smells like someone who believes in crystal magic in the best possible way.”

“AG Hair Recoil Curl Activator is gooooood! Recommended to me by another curly-haired babe and I was skeptical but now can’t live without it.”

“Davines Oi All In One Milk! Also Davines has a whole line ‘Love Curl‘ with an amazing curl refresher. Cruelty-free and paraben-free!”

“I use the Whipped Cream by Sebastian! It’s super lightweight so doesn’t make your hair greasy, but it’s enough to hold your curls in place for a week.”

“R&B Hair Moisturizer from Lush!!! I used to bleach my hair and it was the only thing that’s kept it alive and soft, especially in the winter.”

“The best conditioner I’ve ever used and have used for the last eight years (!!!) is the Moisture Repair Conditioner by Moroccan Oil — you don’t need much, just comb that sucker through with a wide-tooth comb in the shower and rinse with cold water. [You’ll have] the silkiest hair [right] out of the shower.”

“I really like Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls Styling Lotion! It’s good for definition that’s not crunchy and it smells like fresh laundry. A woman stopped me in a bar last weekend to tell me how wonderful my hair smells!”

“A product called Cantu has rocked my world. It’s only 7 bucks but don’t let that fool ya. My curls are feelin’ themselves.”

Curl preservation tips:

“I started leaving coconut oil in my hair for a full day before my shampoo day, and it feels aaaaaamazing. Highly recommend.”

“I really like Living Proof No Frizz Leave-In conditioner. It really helps tame the post-shower frizz for close to a week.”

“Put lots of salt (sea salt or kosher) in a big bowl with warm water, whisk it together and after a shower dunk it over your head.”

“Moisturize in the morning and evening! Spritz with a bit of water, let that sink in and then smooth over with a tiny bit of your favorite moisturizing styler.”

“I change up my products so I don’t use the same thing all the time or my hair starts to get used to it and starts to frizz.”

“Use a glass spray bottle to spray day 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5) after washing, and just get your whole head damp and add a little of whatever your after-shower product is, it kind of brings curls back to life a little.”

“For third-day hair, I’ve used Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk and then I’ll spritz my curls with water and then spray in a little more Briogeo Leave-In Conditioning Spray.”

“I like to use a spray bottle with a little argan oil in it to spray over those curls that need help day 2 or 3 after washing.”

“Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk Refresher Spray.”

“Bumble and bumble’s Bb. Curl (Style) Pre-Style/Re-Style Primer is CLUTCH for extending curls! You apply it before your other styling products and then just spray it on again to re-define and re-moisturize after a few days. If I need even more moisture I’ll spray Infusium 23 Moisture Replenisher (which is dirt cheap yay) and then the Bumble and bumble.”

Where to get a good curly haircut in NYC:

“Fox & Jane on Grand St. — Kiki is a lifesaver.”

“Jennifer Luna at Fox & Jane is a curly-haired, curly hair genius and super bubbly and sweet.”

“Go to Angela at Whistle Salon!

“Chokmah Hair Lab”

“Bull in The Heather Salon”

“Stacy at Butterfly Studio on 23rd street. She’s amazing. A little pricey but worth it.”

“Coby at Little Axe in Williamsburg will change your life.”

“Brush on 19th St”

“Dante Pronio!!! The only haircut I haven’t cried after in my life. I have followed him to four different salons. He is at Sally Hershberger now. When my hair was short he cut it to visually compensate for my right shoulder which is a little higher than my left shoulder. He also does this cute dance when flicking cut pieces of hair to the group. I think he is totally unaware of it, which makes it even better.”

“Antonio at John Barrett is great with curls. He’s been my hair stylist for 16 years from Cleveland to NYC. He’s a hair genius and the nicest person IRL.”

“Chris Chase in Chelsea”

“Cindy at Linden Salon is a genius with curly hair — removing weight without length. She’s in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Worth a trip.”

“SELF Salon in Williamsburg. Go to one of their DevaChan-certified stylists.”

“Shuki Zikri”

“Girl, it’s Head Chop in Williamsburg. $100 for a cut and curl set. Ask for Martha Ellen — she’s a curl wizard AND she has a cute dog.”

“Molly at Sara June — she’s a curly-haired stylist.”

My new hair routine:

1. Wash in the shower once a week with DevaCurl Low Poo Shampoo

2. Condition with DevaCurl One Conditioner OR the Tony Moly Mayo Hair Mask and comb through with fingers

3. Scrunch in IGK Mistress Hydrating Hair Balm while it’s still pretty wet

4. Tie up using the “plopping” method for about ~20 minutes (an Instagram recommendation — TYSM!)

5. Air dry

6. Spritz with water throughout the week and reapply IGK Mistress Hydrating Hair Balm as-needed (also an Instagram recommendation, and probably the most impactful change in my routine in that I’m able to maintain the integrity of my curls for longer between washes)

Overall I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results of my Help Harling’s Curls social media campaign, the only downside being that I now have so many products and hair salons I want to try it will probably take me until age 175 to fully vet them all. That’s okay, though. If there’s one thing curly hair has taught me, it’s patience.
