I see there's still a slot left for foul legacy: raging tide so I hope I'm not too late to request something 👀

Three things about me:

As I said in my other ask, I love to draw and write and I try to do that as much as I can during my free time between hw and class. Although it's been much harder to find time during college and I am often plagued with art/ writer's block 😔

I'm a bio major and I have no problem with handling bugs and other little critters that most people get queasy about. Once you've dissected sheep brains and whole squids, grabbing a spider isn't such a big deal lol

It generally takes me a while to start seeing someone as a close friend rather than a friendly acquaintance that I sometimes see in class. In the same vein it also takes me a while to begin considering someone as a possible romantic partner bc I only start to feel attraction after I've known them for a while and established an emotional connection

I'm a big fan of the star student/delinquent trope and even though I'm not really the type that only cares about studying, I do generally prioritize that over other things

Thank you in advance!! I can't wait to see the rest of this event unfold :D

The Delinquent [Childe]

c/w: mentions and implications of rumours, implication of bad school culture, Biology dissection (not described in detail)

Note: Hello!! I'm so so sorry this fic took so long! I wasn't particularly inspired for this fic so I was holding it off, then school came in the way for quite a bit. I don't know much about dissections, but I did a quick Google search and I hope I've written it such that it's not too difficult to believe. I hope that you enjoy this!

word count: 1.5k

Sun and moon. Both you and Childe live worlds apart. The two of you are only in each other’s orbit, seeing each other from a distance. The closest that you’ll ever get is being a few seats away in biology class. However, even though you only share one class with him, you know him all too well.

Childe is the infamous sporty kid in school. He’s also one who often wins academic competitions for the school. The student body doesn’t necessarily dislike him either. In fact, the girls adore him. They think that he’s hot and charming. But outside of his friend group, everyone is mostly too intimidated by his aura to approach him.

You can also always count on Childe to constantly talk back to teachers and staff. Now and then, you would catch him breaking school rules by exploiting their loopholes. The school hasn’t expelled him, given that he’s not causing harm or trouble to anyone. On top of that, he largely excels in many areas. Though… There are rumours of him beating other students up. But no one has actually seen him do so.

You, on the other hand, keep to your group of friends. That’s how you decided you were going to spend the rest of your school life. Comfortable with a group of friends that you cherish deeply, out of the spotlight.

That is until Childe decides to collide into your world for a reason you cannot bring yourself to turn down. Okay, you could have, but you don't dare to.

As a short breather from studying in the library, you doodle a little. Childe walks up to your side while you’re doing so.

With a volume lower than usual, he greets you. “Hey, [name]- Oh these look pretty cute.”

You dropped your pencil on your notebook, taken aback that the Childe is talking to you.

“What’s up, Childe?” you ask as your hand subtly shifts above the doodles in your notebook. Honestly, you want nothing to do with him. But, at the same time, you are courteous enough not to shut someone out the first time they speak to you.

He smiles sheepishly as he requests, “Sorry to bother you, but could you give me a demonstration on the dissection of a sheep’s brain?”

You only blink at him in response. You asked him to repeat, making sure you didn’t mishear him. Assuming you couldn’t hear him, he raises his volume. Only slightly, so as not to disturb other students.

“I need some help on dissecting a sheep’s brain and I’d like you to show me a demonstration. Would that be okay for you?”

Fumbling over your words a little, you agree to help him with his dissection. “Great! Thank you so much, [name]. Will tomorrow after our biology lesson be good?”

“Yeah, sure…”

With that, he walks off with a slight skip in his steps. But you, on the other hand, are highly preoccupied with your thoughts. You think you got a little too nervous around him. They say you shouldn’t show fear in front of what you are afraid of. Wait, since when were you afraid of him?

On top of that worry, you aren’t sure if you should be proud that Childe thinks highly enough of you to ask you for help, or if you should be concerned that you are now responsible for tutoring the infamous school delinquent instead.

Do you really know the dissection like the back of your hand? What if he asks you about the details that you've thrown to the back of your mind? As an extra precaution, you start to relook at your notes on the dissection. Before you sleep at night, you give your notes one last read too.

The next day, you realise during lessons that you forgot to check if there was a supervising teacher present after school. For students to use the laboratory after school, there is a rule stating that a teacher has to be present. Childe probably wouldn’t heed that rule in normal circumstances. But since your last lesson is Biology in the laboratory with him, your teacher would definitely know both of you are staying back. If there was no one around, your teacher wouldn’t permit you two to use the room and kick the both of you out.

So, you pray. You pray that there wouldn’t be any supervising teacher, so you’d get to slip out on Childe. But unfortunately, when class ends, you find out that your teacher is on duty today.

Sighing internally, you resign yourself to helping Childe. As you prepare your workbench, you catch your teacher's eyes darting between the two of you. Likely surprised that both of you speak to each other, you suppose. You'd be surprised too.

When all the preparation is done, you try to hide your disappointment and ask, “So, how do you want me to teach this to you?”

“You can do a step-by-step demonstration, then I’ll try to follow along.”

After every step, you check on the steps that he executes. While doing so, you notice how slender his hands are and the little faded scars on them.

“[Name]? We can continue.”

You snap out of your daze and mutter an apology, continuing the dissection. At some point, you stop him. “Hold on, you’re about to cut the wrong part.”

He shifts his gaze over to your scalpel, trying to assess the exact point to cut. Before he does anything, you move over to his side as you always do when you teach your friends. You wrap your hand around his that holds the scalpel and you guide his hand.

Childe becomes momentarily distracted by your touch on his. He tries to ignore the feeling of his skin tingling and regain his focus.

(But it is for nought because all he can think of is how cool you are for being so good at Biology. Heck, not just Biology, but other subjects too. Words of your consistently stellar grades don’t escape him.)

You only realise the proximity between the two of you after you let go of his hand. Taking a step back, your leg bumps into the stool. You stumble for a bit. Childe’s hand reaches out to your arm and it hovers right above your skin, ready to catch you. But you don’t fall and a few moments pass.

Inside, you beat yourself up a little for almost falling onto the ground in front of someone you’ve barely spoken to before. You straighten yourself and Childe withdraws his hand back to his side.

You clear your throat in an attempt to dissipate the tension in the air. “There’s only one more step left to go. I can show that to you and if you’re good, we can pack up.”

You note how hot your face feels and hope he doesn’t tell this to his friend circle. You don’t particularly like them, given the amount of drama they attract.

You try to concentrate, though the incident earlier remains at the front of your mind. Soon, he ends the procedure without a hitch, so you assume that you’ve taught him the right step despite your lack of focus. With that, both of you clean up the workbench.

Childe finishes cleaning up faster than you. He always packs up quickly after class, and you chalk up his speed to his desire to leave class early. You think he’s about to leave when he comes over to help you. When he does, he thanks you.

“Thanks for the tutoring session, [name].”

A few seconds of silence lapse. You’re not sure if you should thank him for helping you. But before you say anything, he asks, “Say… could I ask you for more help next time? I struggle quite a bit with Biology.”

Immediately, you nod. It'll just be more tutoring sessions that'll benefit you too. Though, you ask, “Don’t you have friends who do Biology?”

Childe’s face sours a little, a smile still plastered on his face. He whispers, “Let’s just say that while I do hang out with them, I don’t like to stay around them more than I need to.”

Your eyes widen slightly. The two of you have more in common than you thought.

As the two of you walk down the hallways to the exit, he exchanges contacts with you. Childe does a tiny fist pump in the air. “Nice! Now, we can easily arrange study sessions!”

He turns to look at you and offers, “If you need anything too, you can always ask me!”

Childe flashes you a smile. He’s really not so bad.

When the two of you part ways at the school gate, you wave to him. He returns one with that annoyingly vibrant smile of his. But, maybe you could get used to this.

Only then do you realise, oh, you are in so much danger. The moon is reaching its orbit closest to the sun now.

All likes and reblogs are appreciated! Thank you <3

[Master of Weaponry] - An Ask Event with Weapons !

EVENT MASTERLIST

Rules:

Just don't hound me about your completing your ask :>

Everything is done based on my own opinion and it is not the truth.

We all know that Childe is skilled in using many weapons (even if he may say that he is the least adept with the bow). As such, to celebrate his ability to proficiently wield many weapons, I’ll assign you a weapon. Tell me about yourself and the things you like to do!

Additionally, if I feel that I have enough information, I will assign you a vision that I believe suits you as well! Thank you to @/divinavulpes for her interpretation of the visions! It’s going to help me a lot <3

Please also note that asks sent off anon will be prioritised if I get an overwhelming number of asks. I will not impose a limit on the number of slots I have now, but I may do so if I get more asks than expected. That or I may close this event early.

To participate, simply send in an ask by 20 Jul 2359 GMT+8! [CLOSED]

If you're lost on what you want to include in your ask, here are some things you may want to consider including in your ask (I may not use all of them and you do not have to include everything):

What do you like doing?

Are there certain kinds of sports you enjoy? Or do you hate sports in all its entirety?

Tell me how you feel about household chores. Are there certain chores you like? Are there certain chores you absolutely refuse to do?

If you have visited the arcade, tell me which machine is your favourite (you can drop me a name of the machine if there are search results of it on google or you can describe the general nature of the game).

Tell me something you like about yourself.

Total requests: 4

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHILDE!! For the weaponry event: Somethings about myself: I do a lot of music, I like music, I play music. Every music related thing you think I’ve I’ve probably done it. I am smart. My brain sometimes just flies away,I like reading when the topic interests me. If it’s math I can’t do it without moving but if it’s related to history or space then I’ll be there for hours. I like to fight but I don’t go looking for them. And I think that’s everything I can think of! Thank you!

The weapon I'm assigning to you is the catalyst, Wine and Song!

You sound like you like music very much and I feel that this songbook would fit you very much. Plus, this catalyst tells of a historical tale part of Teyvat's past which I hope would interest you.

Bonus: I think that the pyro vision suits you! From what I can tell, you're very invested in the things that you like a lot, just like a lot of the pyro vision holders who put a lot of effort into their passions.

I hope that you like this and thank you for participating!!

Hello! I absolutely love your idea for this birthday event!! May I get a weapon assignment please? :D

What do you like doing?

I love to draw & write! Plus I play piano and video games (I love anything that's story based plus open world games like Genshin and botw). As a kid I used to also love going outside and playing with the bugs but I have since learned that the mosquitos will devour me alive if I take a single step outside so I've kinda stopped doing that lol

Are there certain kinds of sports you enjoy? Or do you hate sports in all its entirety?

Grade school gym class has made me hate sports only bc of those hyper competitive kids who care so much about winning this classroom game of football as if it were the NFL. Sports in general are fine w me, especially if I get to just casually 1v1 with a friend while we chat. I also did dance for a little bit in middle school which I really enjoyed.

Tell me how you feel about household chores. Are there certain chores you like? Are there certain chores you absolutely refuse to do?

My friends find this strange but I love doing the dishes. It's just a nice way to relax and let your mind wander for a bit and not have to think about all the things you have to do later (hw, bills, etc). On the flip side I hate dusting bc I have to pick up all the stuff from my shelves to get underneath them and it's just so much trouble to put them back every time. Sweeping and vacuuming are fine, I'll do it if I notice the floor getting dirty, and I'm also fine with just wiping off a surface when it's starting to get dusty, but if there's stuff in the way I would literally rather let the dust accumulate for years than actually go in and clean.

Claw machine!!! My parents would never let me spend money at the arcade but sometimes people just left money in the claw machines so I would use the remaining turns to get some candy or whatever.

Tell me something you like about yourself.

I'm really proud of my problem solving skills. Give me any issue and if I sit with it for a while I can always come up with a solution/a faster way of doing things. I'm also very organized and never lose my stuff, the only exception being the two times the universe decided make one of my items disappear from existence bc I was too good at keeping track of things ig??

Hope this was enough info!! Thank you in advance!!

Hello!!! Thank you so much for joining my event! I hope that you'll like what I assigned to you :>

The weapon that I'm assigning to you is the catalyst, The Widsith!

To me, you love exploring and with The Widsith, there are tons of stories of the other lands. I believe that you will enjoy the recounts of the experiences of the troupe in the places that they have explored. Besides, the characters using a catalyst feels somewhat like they're doing a dance.

#conversations #cattycattitude #[Celebration of Monoceros Caeli]#also AAAAAAAA you're so lucky that people left money in the claw machine to get extra turns. It happened to me once it never again :">
