Things Don't Stay Forever

DC x DP prompt. Or story? Story, I think, cause I plan to add more chapters. Idk, I'm building this world as we go along. It's my side project to keep writing. But you can take it and roll with it too :D.

But for a prompt: Lex Luthor created a virus to "combat and destroy other viruses and diseases in the human body." This is in quotes because he placed it under this description himself. In truth, the virus is supposed to destroy metahuman abilities. (This actually happened in the comics) But the virus didn't work as he wanted it. Something happens, still working on this part, where the virus is leaked into the air and causes a global pandemic.

That's right people, this is an Apocalypse AU!

It is eventually going to be Dead on Main or JasonxDanny cause I love that ship. But it's going to be very slow going.

Anyway, enjoy the first chapter!

Chapter 1: And that’s when I realize that, in the end, we’d all wish for the same thing. Just a little more time.

Danny remembered when it started.

The minuscule, barely noticeable at the time, change in the world that jumpstarted the end.

A news report on the WGN9 station at ten at night.

He remembers it was January. He had been out hours before, keeping an eye on Amity and her dead, and her living. It had been snowing that night. Cold and windy, the cool air had felt good on his skin and in his core. He had flown for two long hours around Amity relishing in the dark and quiet before making his way home.

He remembers sitting on the living room couch, dozing and alone after a long day of schoolwork, ghostly activities, and dealing with the imminent problem of his future.

He remembers closing his eyes, his arms resting against his stomach, rising with his breaths. He hardly listened to the words of the newscaster talking. Her words had been so distant and muted, his thoughts the complete opposite, almost blaring and intrusive.

He remembers wondering, through the anxiety-ridden whispers in his head, where his mom and dad were. If they were in the house or if they were out again, hunting. It was late. It was snowing. But they always stood up late through any type of weather. Catching ghosts at night was easier than during the day. He made sure before heading home the ghosts kept their heads down for the night in case his parents were out.

He hadn’t seen them when he was flying though. They had probably been in the basement then.

He remembers the throw blanket under his head, resting on the back of the couch. How it still smelled like Jazz’s perfume even when she hadn’t been home for months, away at college. His eyes had stung and watered under his eyelids and he fought to keep the tears where they were.

He remembers it was cold in the house. It was always hard to tell if it was because his dad ran hot so the temperature had been lowered, the ghost portal opened in the basement, all the ambient ectoplasm in the house, or if it was him, or maybe all four options.

But what he remembers the most about that night was the moon. Bright and full, shining in through the living room window, helping to illuminate the space and him alongside the TV screen. Offering a kind of silent comfort he never took for granted.

He remembers that the most because it was the first thing he saw after snapping open his bleary eyes when he heard it. The thing that set off a warning in his head. The name of the man who would later help realize the end. His gaze quickly shifted to the screen to see the newscaster, Tiffany Snow, begin her news report.

“Billionaire and CEO of LexCorp, Lex Luthor, has recently announced a scientific breakthrough his company has been working on for years. Sources say Luthor has hired some of the greatest scientific minds in the 21st century onto this project that will, quote, “change the world.”

A project that would change the world. One they have spent years working on.

And suddenly, everything went silent.

A recorded scene of Lex Luthor shaking hands with delegates from multiple countries played out on screen. Luthor looked pleased. Behind him, a line of scientists in lab coats stood, looking blank or grim. The delegates standing next to Luthor grinned and clasped hands with one another, and flashes of camera light flooded the conference room they stood in.

Danny remembers slowly sitting up, his eyes, red-rimmed and tired, staring at Lex Luthor, right into his eyes. His face was instantly frozen on the screen staring right back with dark eyes. His hands still clasped in another’s, a small smirk rested on his face but he didn’t move. Time had simply stopped.

Still. So very still. Danny hardly moved or breathed. Just stared into the billionaire’s eyes like he could foresee the future and all its mistakes. Silence had reigned around him. Only the frantic whispers of a warning rushed into his head like static. He couldn’t understand them, there was too much, too many voices talking at once. Building and building louder and louder until—

And then it was over.

Tiffany Snow was gone. Lex Luthor and all his scientists behind him were gone too. A commercial for life insurance played on, the narrator’s voice booming after long seconds of utter silence and static. Danny remembered flinching and rubbing his eyes, taking deep breaths because what the hell had that been?

What was that?

He’d never felt anything like that before. It felt like…an omen. A premonition? He’s never had premonitions before. So what…?

He remembers thinking maybe he had been tired. Danny had been running himself ragged for days, for months. Maybe it was time for him to go to bed. Finally, rest after a long couple of months.

It had to just be sleep deprivation, that was all. It didn’t feel that way.

He remembers turning off the TV. He stood up, draping the blanket that had been resting on the couch over his head and shoulders, wrapped and held in one hand like a childish comfort in front of his nose. Remembers walking up the stairs to his bedroom in the dark, the only light in the whole house coming from the moon.

He remembers lying down and staring at his glow-in-the-dark star-covered ceiling. Small and colorful blob ghosts darted up and down through them. They were quiet and playful with one another. He counted them like sheep, over and over.

He fell asleep later that night, hours later because he couldn’t get what had happened out of his head. Remembers the sinking feeling following him the next day and the next. Watching out for the news every night after for more reports on Lex Luthor or LexCorp or this thing that was going to change the world. He had asked Tucker to put an alert on his Blackberry for those two keywords for any articles that popped up online.

Because something was wrong or was going to be wrong. That eerie feeling on the back of his neck down to his queasy stomach had left him sick and paranoid for months after. It was the reason he had been so overprotective of his family, his friends, and his hometown both as Fenton and Phantom for months.

That deep knowledge of Death being near. The End of all things. Not the afterlife. Not all the ghosts, spirits, shades, and other indefinite things that walked the Earth but actual Death. As if the shadow of it eclipsed the planet and the sun couldn’t shine through.

He remembers being seventeen and not worried, not concerned, but absolutely terrified and sure that something was coming.

And then it was July. A day after his eighteenth birthday. One month after his high school graduation. One month before college, although, that was never in the plan to begin with if he was being honest.

But it was July. One day in and the world was dying. Just like he felt it would.

Because Danny remembered when it started.

But long before the outbreak ever occurred. When there were just small hints of something to come—nothing damning, nothing for sure—Lex Luthor was working on something groundbreaking. But no news of it ever hit the media after that first initial report. The one that made him anxious.

Although, now that he has some time to reflect on it, he realizes maybe he hadn’t been the only one either. There may have been others who caught those signs too.

He ponders this as he watches clips of Wonder Woman, usually tall and confident, grim face and small, as she helped care for the dying in India. The Flash sped toward hospitals all across Europe carrying supplies of medicine and food.

Superman, powerful and usually bigger than life, hovering over a burning village in Vietnam, his face dazed and shocked at the destruction below him. Like it was his first time seeing such a thing.

And then there was Batman’s Knights. Small snippets of gloved and cape-covered Bats ran and jumped through Lady Gotham’s large skyscrapers and high-rises, carrying items that shaky cameras couldn’t capture.

Gotham had been in quarantine days before the outbreak. Metropolis too. Countries were warned three days in advance. Every country around the world began to plan and lock down before the first wave could hit. They weren’t given enough time.

Israel built fences and walls around itself. So did China and Egypt. Canada had cut off their roads and airspace, as did many countries after them, including the U.S. Europe closed down its borders. Mexico refused to let anyone into the country. Africa’s CDC convened to plan their next steps for lockdown amongst all African nations.

Chicago shut down both their airports. Jazz hadn’t been able to get a flight back to Illinois. Then all the airports started shutting down, quicker and quicker, one by one, before she could even look for a ticket out of California.

And the other cities, the other countries—not all of them closed down in time. Not all of them had superheroes living in their cities to help them. The superheroes that were on Earth were stretched thin around the globe helping out.

Not all of them had the means to control the masses through a global pandemic.

Amity Park, on the other hand, was quick to close down their roads weeks before Gotham and Metropolis did. Phantom made sure of that.

And the fact Vlad didn’t argue with him spoke volumes about the information he was hoarding too.

Yeah, there had been others who knew.

Did they even try to stop it?

Was there anything he could have done?

Clockwork comes to mind and Danny has to suddenly stop himself from running down the basement stairs toward the portal below just to ask him if he knew. He hasn’t spoken to him in weeks. Not since their last conversation when he confided in Clockwork about his fears.

His hands clench and Danny lets out a soft growl. Of course, he knows. He always knows.

Ancients, he’s always known.

But he hadn’t said anything. Not when Danny asked. Not when Danny told him something was wrong. He hadn’t uttered a word. And he had looked fine. His usual self, nothing seemed out of place. So why hadn’t he said anything to Danny?

Well, he couldn’t, could he? The future has to continue, no matter what happens. That’s what Clockwork once told him.

But it can be changed. It’s been changed before. Danny’s seen it. Danny’s done it. So why—

—And if Clockwork sees this, has seen it—how could he not—then it means this is something that was always meant to be. Always growing in the back of this planet’s history.

Impending and dooming. But things can change. He knows that. He does because he’s helped change things in the past before and maybe he shouldn’t have. He’s privileged to have done that but Clockwork must know something else. He just needs to ask. He needs to—

The landline phone rings suddenly and Danny rushes quickly to pick it up before the first ring even finishes. He knows who it is.

“Jazz? Jazz, hello? You there?”

Static fills his ears for a second before he hears her ask, “Danny?”

Relief floods his system. He sighs gratefully. “Jazz. Hey, I can hear you. Can you hear me?”

“You’re kind of breaking up but I can hear you.” Static fills the line again before she says, “Are you okay? Is everyone okay?”

She sounds worried and tired. He rushes to reassure her.

“Yeah, yeah. Everything’s fine here. We’re all okay. Are you okay? Where are you now?”

A rustle of paper. “Nebraska, near the border of Colorado, I think. I’m in Big Springs. I just got out of Wyoming.”

Nebraska. She’s in Nebraska. It’s been two days. She’s just reached Nebraska and it’s been two days. It shouldn’t be taking this long. She’s still too—. Danny rubs the side of his face with his hand and holds back the panic.

“Okay. That’s good.” He lies, “You’re good, you’re okay. You just got to get through Nebraska and you’ll be golden.”

She lets out a small humorless chuckle. “Not just Nebraska, Danny. Iowa and a quarter of Illinois too.”

“Hey, that’s gonna be so easy! Okay, you’re back in the Midwest. You’re already halfway there, you know?”

“Yeah.”

He turns around to face the living room from the kitchen. The TV behind him, muted, shows more scenes of destruction and human desperation he doesn’t want to look at right now while talking to his sister.

“How are you? Really?”

Static for another moment, mere seconds before he hears her again. “I’m…scared and—and worried. This car trip home was not how I expected it to go.” She chuckles.

“No, yeah I know.” He turns to take a brief glimpse back at the TV before looking down again. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay! Really, I’m fine. I should have—I should have planned this better.”

Danny shakes his head. “You didn’t know this was going to happen. You had plans in motion. You—you have goals. How were you supposed to-to—”

“No, yeah, I know. I—” Jazz sighs, exhausted. “I know.” She’s silent and Danny’s heart drops. A rustling sound fills the phone and she says optimistically, “I made it through the worst of it and I’m almost home.”

“How—” Danny clears his throat. “How has the trip been so far?”

Trip. Can he even call it that? It’s more like an escape. She’s running away. She’s trying to get home before—before—

He can hear a puff of air hit the receiver. “It’s been…eventful. There’s a lot happening around the States. I’ve done my best to avoid it all but...”

“Like what?” he asks, curious, worried, panicked.

“I…there’s something I have to tell you. But I don’t want you to worry.”

Too late. Because that statement was ominous. “Tell me. Please. I want to know. I need to make sure you’re okay. Jazz—”

“I’m okay! I think, yeah, it’s, there’s been—”

“Jazz.”

She’s quiet again. Ancients, he hates when she’s quiet.

“Jazz, what’s going on?”

“It’s-it’s bad, Danny. It’s really bad. Everywhere. I’ve had to—” She sniffles. God, is she—? “I’ve had to do a lot to get out and I’m almost home, okay? I’m almost home and then it’s all going to be okay. But you gotta trust me that I’m going to be home soon, okay? Just know that.”

She’s frantic and panicked. He knows she pulled her phone away from her face because her sniffling is distant but he can still hear her. He needs to keep hearing her.

“Jazz? Jazz, hey, talk to me. Don’t stop talking.”

“Okay, no, it’s okay. I’m fine. I’m sorry.” She sobs.

She’s been through a lot. She’s stressed as hell. Who wouldn’t be in her situation? She’s had to do things to get out.

What did she do? What’s happening in the other states?

Without thinking, Danny grabs the remote and flips quickly through the channels but all everyone is showing are either clips of the Justice League or damn commercial ads for fucking prescription drugs and why the hell is that important right now? Right now when his sister is afraid and alone during a fucking pandemic?

He throws the remote down on the table and makes a decision.

“Jazz? Jazz, it’s okay. Listen. I’m gonna come and get you.” Danny rushes through the kitchen, rips open cabinet doors and drawers, and rustles through them searching. He knows it’s around here somewhere.

“What? What, no! Danny—”

“I’ve been so fucking stupid! Why didn’t I think about this before? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I left you like this. But I can get to you. I can. I know how.” He holds the phone between his shoulder and ear. The coil phone cord wraps around his torso as he rips open a junk drawer and immediately locates the map he was looking for.

“Here it is! Okay, you said you were where? Big Springs?”

“Yeah, but—”

“I can meet you there. It usually takes, what? Eleven hours to get to Nebraska from here? Twelve? I can fly. I can be there in sev—no! Three. I can be there in three hours. Just hold on for me, okay?”

“Danny, no, stop. This is absurd.”

Danny freezes and thinks for a moment. She’s right. This whole thing is stupid. He can get to her much quicker.

“Yeah, you’re right. I’m so dumb!” He smacks his forehead. “I can take the Infi-Map.”

“Wh…what?”

“The Infi-Map. I can borrow it from Frostbite and use it to find a portal closer to you. How much ambient ectoplasm is in that area? You know what? Doesn’t matter. I’ll just ask the map to bring me to you.”

“Danny—”

“I can take the Speeder. We’re gonna have to leave your car but at this point, what does it matter?”

“Danny. Wait, stop for a second!”

Danny stops and waits for her to speak again.

“What?”

“Danny…that can be extremely dangerous. I’m not risking your life to come and get me.”

Danny holds down his scoff and rubs his eyes. “What the hell are you talking about?”

She lets out a large sigh, her breath creating a distorted noise on his end. “I’ve been around people. A lot of people. Not on purpose and not because I wanted to be. I just—it’s been a long trip so far. I’ve had to get out of the car. I’ve… had to help some people.”

Danny slumps down in the kitchen chair closes to him and stares at the TV screen. Dragonson is in North Korea. He’s in talks with the leader to help protect his people. Apparently, it’s not going well.

“Of course you did.”

“Well, I do learn from the best.”

“That’s not even remotely funny.”

She laughs anyway. It’s not funny, it’s—this whole situation is awful and it’s not funny but she’s laughing on the other line anyway.

“I’m coming to get you. I don’t care what y—”

“I may be infected.”

His breathing stops. He blinks at the TV and watches Cyborg pull up multiple maps of different countries. Areas of Europe and Asia are pulsing red and growing bigger.

“Are you—” he chokes, “Are you showing symptoms?”

“No. Nothing. But I was around people who may have been sick. I—” She takes a breath in. “I wasn’t sure if coming home was safe. I may infect other people. I may bring this to Amity.” Her voice wobbles on the last word. “And you worked so hard to keep our town safe. I don’t want to jeopardize that.”

“I don’t care about—”

“But I’m still coming home. I have a plan. I can wear a suit, one of mom’s old jumpsuits with the-the helmet. She has a hazmat suit still, right? I don’t have to enter Amity. I can stay outside the border. Wait it out to see if I’m inf-”

“No. You’re coming home. End of discussion.” Danny stands up and tosses the map, useless, onto the table and walks towards the wall cradle, ready to hang up.

“Danny, no. I’m not risking anyone’s health because I was being stupid.”

“You had a mask on right? You said you were able to get a hold of one before you left.”

“Yes, of course, I had one on.”

“And how many hours has it been?”

“It’s been five since exposure.” She’s been counting down. She’s been preparing herself.

“CDC says it takes less than twenty minutes for symptoms to show.”

“I could be asymptomatic. There have been reports of people suddenly dying without any symp—”

“YOU’RE NOT DYING!” Danny shouts. His grip on the phone is tight, almost crushing. He can see his eyes glowing in the metal reflection of the fridge.

She doesn’t say anything. She stays silent and listens to him taking deep breaths to calm himself. She isn’t dying. She isn’t going anywhere. This isn’t her time. He knows that. He knows it isn’t her time. He would feel it, right? He would feel her fading.

Would she stay here, on this plain? Would she accept her afterlife in The Zone? Would she leave him?

He’s not ready to face that yet.

“You’re not dying. Okay? I would know. I know I would know.”

“I…” she hesitates.

“You wore your mask. It’s been more than twenty minutes. You’re sure?”

“Yes, yes I’m sure.” She replies calmly.

“Then you’re fine. I’m coming soon. Give me twenty minutes.”

“Danny! Listen to me! I could infect you! I could be dangerous to everyone back home. Just because I wore a mask doesn’t mean I didn’t inhale it somehow.”

“Did you wash your hands?”

“Wh—yes! Right after and I used hand sanitizer.” Of course, she would. She was always prepared for anything. Why would she falter now?

“Great!” Danny shrugs. “Be there in twenty.”

“Danny—!”

“I love you, Jazz. I’ll see you soon.”

“DANNY!”

Danny hangs up the phone and rushes down to the basement of his house. He ignores the insistent ringing coming from the kitchen phone and races to pack supplies in a backpack he stored away in an unused locker his parents never checked.

They’re out in town, helping Vlad set up tents and other necessities for the denizens during the lockdown. They won’t miss him, not for twenty minutes. Maybe less if he speeds quickly to Frostbite.

He’s going to get Jazz. He’s going to bring her home.

hello! I'd love for you to list five things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox of some people who liked or reblogged something from you (no pressure) ��️🌻

Writing :D Obvious one, I know, but I love it

2. Travelling. Anywhere. Everywhere. Could be a town half an hour away. Could be the other side of the world. I love exploring everywhere.

3. Sitting inside, cosy warm, on a windy, rainy day with a big cup of tea, a nice chocolate and no obligations

4. Time with friends and geeking out with them. Downside of having most friends internationally is only getting to see them once in a blue moon.

5. All my niblings :) I love being the Elusive and Wildly adventurous and Artistic relative who sweeps in like a mysterious tornado every so often, bringing fun facts and stories and hand-made things of weird and wonderful stuff. The fact they all think I'm incredibly cool is such a novelty to me :D

JTTW Chapter 20 Thoughts

Chapter 20 for the @journeythroughjourneytothewest Reading Group! We’re through one fifth of the story! Also CW for snakes under the cut.

Tang Sanzang repeating the Heart Sutra this much reads to me like he’s got a new hyperfixation. Which is incidentally also a vocal stress stim for him if you will.

“[D]ined on the wind and rested by the waters, who clothed themselves with the moon and cloaked themselves with the stars” quite a fancy way of saying they were out camping. Though I doubt that the flowers are gone in summer, flowers still bloom in summer merely different kinds than in spring.

“[T]here are three of us altogether.” Aren’t you forgetting someone? Say a certain white currently long-faced individual maybe?

Oh if this was a play someone should have yelled from the back “Or transformation magic!” since both of them are capable of it. Though both of them did already mention being tired from travelling, so perhaps that is why they aren’t using it more liberally. Aside of Sun Wukong not caring much about what other people think of his appearance.

Yellow Wind Ridge sounds more like it’s a mountain range instead of a singular mountain.

More animals to check out! But first something I took note of when checking the poem in the Original Chinese. When going through the animal portion of it there were a lot of characters being repeated twice, which unfortunately didn’t show at all in English. I think some of those character pairs represent the sounds the animals make since they don’t seem to have much translation into actual words, none that make sense in context anyways. That’s only a guess of mine though, I’m not entirely sure since I can only get insight from translators and this also only counts for some of them not all. For example [丫丫叉叉yā yā chā chā] which is before the deer doesn’t translate to much with Google Translate, but [盤盤曲曲pán pán qū qū] before the snake does translated to “coiled”.

Anyways the character for deer is nonspecific again, so it indeed just means a deer with antlers. Though there were definitely no antelopes mentioned, it is likely just another deer as the J. F. Jenner translation reads as well.

[紅鱗蟒Hóng lín mǎng] indeed translates to “red-scaled python” and is likely a Python Brongersmai which is native to Southeast Asia! They are short but chonky. Most variants are also called Blood Python and one is specifically called Red Blood Python!

This here beauty is an albino!

I don’t know which monkey could be meant here specifically as my search only came up with potential species that are not native to Asia. My best guess is that it might just be an ape with a hairless face and not actually a “white” face.

Lastly the “blue bill” mentioned in the Anthony C. Yu version does not come up in any other. It’s a little misleading as there is no bird mentioned in this bit at all. Instead it is the mountain that is being described again.

Ah yes, the way to greet people by ripping off your own skin! Well, it probably is useful to shut people up.

I wonder what was named after what. Did the Yellow Wind Demon take up the name after his dwelling or did he name the place after himself?

The German translation brings up an interesting aspect regarding the Yellow Wind [黄風 huángfēng]. Yellow represents the middle, the spleen and thought! Citing Liu Yiming Yellow Wind here carries the meaning of erratic ‘windy’ thinking and unstable consciousness. In turn the Yellow Wind Monster stands for a ‘wrong’ kind of thought, so only after overcoming them can there be true inner peace.

More deer! Specific deer this time as well! One of them at least, the first one is just an unspecified deer with antlers again. The second however is a [香獐 xiāng zhāng] or indeed a Musk Deer! Though a Google search of the characters also brings up Chinese Water Deer, which given their similarities makes sense.

#xiyouji #journey to the west #jttw #sun wukong #monkey king #tang sanzang #huangfeng dawang #yellow wind demon #jttw reading group #jttw book club #snake #Python Brongersmai #Blood Python #deer mention happens again and will continue to happen

Day 5 - From Austria to Slovakia

My original plan was to get from Vienna to Bratislava by ferry on the Danube, but it's quite expensive and with this weather it doesn't feel like it's worth it, so instead I'll go by train (I'm a little sad because I've been anticipating this particular bit of travel a lot, but I think it's for the best).

I still have some time left in Vienna, so I go to the Naschmarkt (yes, it's another market XD but this one has borek!), and then to have some coffee and cake in a proper viennese cafè.

The cake was ok if too sweet and the coffee was terrible, but the experience was worth it.

It's very, very, very windy and pretty cold, but it only rains a little bit every once in a while, so that's good. Also I finally managed to capture the genius design of the ashtrays on the bins:

As a last stop I go to the Belvedere palaces and gardens, and they're pretty nice (also there are A LOT of statues in the garden XD).

Why is the central train station so far from the city center? Like, far far. Also, I was hoping for a real, pretty and possibly gigantic train station and instead it's another modern boxy one (not a fan of Austrian station design so far).

The train ride is ok, I wonder if the boat ride along the Danube would have actually be more scenic or just on water (the Danube has been quite underwhelming in most of the places I've been XD).

It's still cloudy when I arrive in Bratislava, but after a bit THE SUN COMES OUT! And it stays out, even if the sky is a little cloudy, for hours! I am so very happy!

Bratislava has such a different vibe, it's crazy how close it is to Vienna and how different it can be. It's very small (well, the old town/city center is small, the city is probably quite big) and not one but grandiose. Feels very cozy after three days in Vienna.

I'm unsure what to do for dinner. I'm not particularly hungry and I feel like I need a break from the good but heavy food I had for the past days. One of the things I regretted not doing while in Austria was trying Thai and/or Vietnamese food, since it was much more ubiquitous than in Italy, but luckily the situation is similar here and I end up finally trying pho :D (of course I cannot vouch for the authenticity of a pho eaten in Vietnamese/sushi restaurant in Slovakia, but it was really good anyway!)

#austria #vienna #slovakia #bratislava #travel #it's not technically interrail 2023 #mag travels from time to time #i just want a tag for the things i personally put out into the world

Harpy Tweek / Mer Craig Au Fact Dump !!!!

Tweeks design is based on a Goldfinch

Craig's design is a cross between a Whale Shark and a Lionfish

Harpies and Merfolk are natural enemies

Craig and Tweek met for the first time when they were children- during a particularly windy day Tweek fell into the ocean and Craig reluctantly saved him

Tweek was somehow attached to him and hated him at the same time

Harpies don't like accepting favours because it means being indebted to someone, and 80% of harpies are solitary creatures (hence Tweeks dislike for Craig)

Craig finds him really annoying at first but also really interesting- he mainly hangs out with him at first as a small way to spite his parents (he was going through a rebellious phase)

Tweek returns Craig's "favour" by gifting him his hat (Craig mentioned on one occassion that he always wondered what it'd be like to wear the things that humans do on their heads)

Despite no longer being indebted to him, Tweek continued to stick around

Tweek, Butters and Pip are part of a flock together

Butters is based on an Australian Magpie and Pip is based on a Robin

Pip is engaged to Damian, who is a Harpy based on a Vampire Bat

Kenny and Clyde are Craig's friends, and are part of his Coven (←Name for a group of Merfolk)

Kenny is based off of a Glass Octopus and Clyde is based off a Koi Fish

Tweek and friends are a lot closer to eachother than Craig and his friends; Tweeks flock is basically his family

Harpies leave the nest at a very young age, whereas most Merfolk will stay in a coven their whole lives

I'm still slowly building this au, but this is all the info I have for now !! I might add more characters as the story progresses (or if I get random ideas on who'd be what) but for now this is it! If you have any questions abt this au feel free to send me an ask !! :D

From now on I'll be tagging this au w "by sea and sky" (which is what the eventual fic will be titled) OR sp ss au ^-^

Hello Stranger. I'm sending you some numbers. 9, 17, 31.

firesnap!!! hello stranger!! :D

9. Do you believe in ghosts? This isn’t about writing I just wanna know

Not really but I also love the idea of going ghost hunting and would still probably get spooked because I'm a pussy when it comes to stuff like that lol

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

OHHHH FIRESNAP YOU'RE JUST BEGGING ME TO TALK ABOUT STARS RN... Eldingvegr as a planet has so much worldbuilding that I'm either not going to get to mention till later in the text, or just not at all considering most of the story doesn't take place on the planet. For one thing, I've hinted at this in the text so far but haven't stated it outright, but Eldingvegr is tidally-locked meaning it doesn't spin! aka, there's no day or night cycle. The majority of the population lives in Røkkrring, aka the 'twilight band' where the day and night sides meet, hence why every time I describe the sky it's a pinkish purple color because they live in a perpetual twilight. The day side of the planet is called Sólsid and is a burning hot desert. Very few people live there, except there are a few small groups that have learned how to survive in that environment. The night side is called Nóttsid and is an icy wasteland perpetually kept in darkness, except it's much more populated than Sólsid is because that's where the largest deposits of blaziphane are located, so there's a lot of mining settlements on that side of things. still, the population is extremely tiny compared to the population in the Røkkrring.

(also, there's a constant breeze between the day and night side because of the sharp temperature gradient. the windy season is caused by the planet's orbit moving it closer to its sun in one part of the year, thus increasing the temperature on Sólsid and making the temperature difference between Sólsid and Nóttsid even more drastic than it usually is, hence creating the extremely strong winds seen in the season)

this is already too long but, like, I have so much more worldbuilding for Eldingvegr, but also Themis and Zephys IV as well that I won't even get into rn but just. aaaaaa I have so much worldbuilding for the stars and their children it's insane (if anyone wants to learn more about it i will GLADLY start infodumping so)

31. Write a short love letter to your readers.

To all my readers,

You guys are absolutely amazing for all the insane love you've given me over the past... god, almost a year? I guess almost a year, yeah. Holy shit, I've been at this for a while. I've never been considered 'famous' in a fandom before and it's been such a fun ride, knowing that I'll have an audience for whatever crazy new au idea I come up with next is just so wonderful and gives me the chance to just explore so many different types of stories. I'm writing solely for my own enjoyment because I know I have a dedicated group of readers, so I don't have to worry about making things just for the sake of popularity. Idk it's just very freeing to me to know that people genuinely love my work and get as much enjoyment out of reading it that I get out of writing it, and it inspires me to keep going and keep creating to my heart's content, so thank you guys <3

writer ask game!

HELPFJWJDJ i just imagine you hissing at the sun and i laughed 😭 jackets are definitely more flowy and gives you more room to breath tho! as a sweater lover, i can confirm that it is not fun to be sweaty when you're wearing a sweater <//3 but as long as we're slaying and looking good, who cares (/j)

too true LOLLL it's like... bestie, you have three names and i might have to ask you to pick one. you're confusing the government rn 🤨 (/j) indeed, he has been climbing too fast lately... never thought i'd ever find an adrenaline junkie like him endearing. ahem, ahem 🕳️🚶

yayyy, triple-crowned xiao! look at the pose he's in fhejkfkskd so proud <3 but atp, i think you're already getting too used to hearing childe's weekly boss voicelines LOLLLL butyl yeahhh, gooo slay those slimes and tortellini tartar sauce's ass \⁠(>◡<)⁠/ i shall also continue to fight the raiden shogun to farm for heizou and tighnari's talents, let us suffer. (/lh)

mhm, i did! i managed to finish the fourth act in two days, i think??? dw, i won't spoil you, rin jie~ but i gotta say that one of my fav things about the newest act is the teamwork and development of the dynamics between the characters! and plus, we get to see alhaitham a lot, hehe. tho, i can't but affectionately slander him every time he's on screen. he is only tolerable by proxy because of you, rin jie. (/lh)

NOOOO, i was really looking forward to the mango one, but it seems it isn't as strong as i expected. what a waste of potential <//3 but i'm glad the rooibos and the osmanthus (what is this coincidence) tea were to your liking~ oh, to talk about anything and everything with zhongli whilst the steam from your teacups billow like a miniature chimney <3 whatever would the two of you talk about?? the world's current issues? common interests? or even impromptu history lessons? *chants* zhongrin zhongrin zhongrin hehe 👀

D A T I N G L I Z

this post was inspired by nutaella-kookie’s style of posting, check this, all credits go to her

Bath

she’ll have the two of you ALWAYS bathing together, shower, bath, sea water or even washing hands, she’ll go with you, she’ll wash you perfectly, whatever part of your body is it, she’ll do it, she’ll scrub your body until every germ has now killed itself, its her best way to seduce you, and if you’re sensitive to touch, she’ll give long washes to the soft spots.

Kiss

she doesn’t care if you don’t have time, if you are not cuddling her, if you aren’t even looking at her, thats a lie she would die, you have to at least kiss her, she kisses so good it would melt you, her body language during make out sessions its the end of the world, her lips move in and out kneading with yours, her warm tongue licks your lips and your tongue as she presses her body with yours, she moves her head in rhythm with her mouth, her hips rub yours as her leg caresses your thigh, her hands grab violently your shirt’s collar pulling it to her, one of her hands has gone behind your neck and its caressing your hair, you lost your mind, her kisses are the end of the world, just when you’re about to touch her, with the speed of light she wonders out of your reach, as your hand pathetically tries to reach for her, your lips are wet and crimson dyed from her lipstick, your hair is messy, your breathing is fast and your heart beating fast.

Wind

its in windy days that Liz usually goes out, well you’re coming with her of course, but if only it wasn’t the most windy day of the year, seriously its only October and its morning! How can it be so windy? the wind is ruining your hair, you already sneezed two times for the cold, since you two are at the beach, the sky is light grey, this fucking wind is so annoying, you bet Liz is cold to- Oh. You look at her surprised, her figure is towards the sea, her chin lift up, her eyes semi closed watching the sky, her hands tugging in her coral cardigan, her hazel locks are moving in slow motion, being caressed by the wind, leaving her face bare, her white silk long nightgown has attached to her figure tracing her legs, she looks perfect you could eat your own fist out, it should be illegal to be this pretty, no, not pretty, marvelous, admirable, alluring, angelic, appealing, attractive, beauteous, bewitching, charming, comely, dazzling, delicate, delightful, divine, easy on the eyes, elegant, enticing, excellent, exquisite. No words.

Walks

along the sea, long the bridge, around the halls in her mansion, outside in the rain, inside the school while ditching class, around the bedroom in circles, in the grass outside her garden, the place doesn’t matter, but she walks barefoot, as if she cares, she can do whatever she wants right? She can walk wherever she wants right? Don’t mind trivial things like worrying if the teacher is gonna come to search for y’all, or if her servants will call her out, you should feel honored that the daughter of the Marquis will throw tantrums if you don’t come with her, she’s taking walks, And you are coming with her.

Letters

you can bet your ass, if her father’s work requests an exit from japan she’ll write to you everyday, her familiars hate those periods, they have to fly country across country for you to receive those in time, handwritten letters, with red ink, she prepares the paper by placing it in a chest of lavenders, so it perfumes, covers the envelope with kiss stamps, its the most well written romanticism you have ever read, puts Shakespeare to shame.

Radio

hundreds of years old radio, how the fuck does it still work? the cds are old classical and romantic music, if fills you ears with soft notes, the voices are good it makes her dance, she pulls your arms and drags you in the center of the room, and forces you to dance with her, even if you are the worst dancer in earth she doesn’t care, you’ll dance with her. She mumbles the rhythm of the song while cuddling afterwards, she has been mumbling the same rhythm for 20 minutes now, you could ask her to stop, but her calm and low voice is doing things to you.

Luxury

its the Marquis, not the last of the passers-by, their mansion should be the symbol of the Baroque architecture, gold, quartz, rubins, emeralds, are the dominants, the best jewelry you have ever seen, its been craved with thin punctures, crowns and armors, you feel like you belong to the family for how many expensive things she has gifted to you, fortunes engraved on each piece of jewelry they own.

Dances

thats how you met her, you were invited to a Yule Ball for autumn, thrown by the Marquise herself, the quantity of gold inside the dance room was unbelievable, beings from every clan dancing with each other, you analyze the mans and womans, late-teens wondering around to find some good marital match, old generals eyeing daughters, moms discreetly gossiping about everyone’s facts except for theirs, heirs trying to hide the annoyance of being suffocated by princesses, and then you saw her. It was like an electric shock, you flinched at her beauty, she was just sitting there in a table alone with her mom at her right, her father talking with the duke, Liz was looking at the cold quartz floor, lashes not moving, legs tilted to the side, arms holding the chair’s backrest, her head rested in her hands, a beautiful crimson dress hugging her skin, you recognized it, Burmese lotus flower silk , the best one in kind, her mother eyeing her with a hateful and jealous look, like all the women except for some, the man eating her with their iris, heads turned back refusing to look away, she was bored. Her eyes met yours, you flinched again, she looked at you curious, her head slowly raised in your direction, lashes blinked once, she’s continuing to look at you, the people staring at her slowly noticed her attention was on someone, lashes blinked once, she got up, her steps controlled like a female feline, she walked in your direction, should you run? Her father is looking at you, man are clenching their fists, she’s getting closer, her beauty increases the more closer she gets, she is in front of you, what should you do? Maybe hide the pink in your cheeks, introduce yourself, kiss her hand? Oh my god this is a torture, she looks sublimely discreet, she didn’t break the eye contact once, you didn’t even bow at her! The marquis looks irritated, god if you’re in tr-

“Who are you?”

A very good Why Is Cultivation Important Is...

It includes forward, in reverse, and downward twin vision sensors and even a new aircraft design that helps bring about safety and offers a broader sensing range. We advise obtaining the DJI Osmo Action, as it gives you the particular most fluid, motion picture footage of any action camera. I actually can view a good elevated live supply using this drone digital camera on the display regarding my remote control. The drone case also offers the device significant protection whilst it is being transported. Get the intricacies of sunshine and shadows while on a day getaway. When inspiration attacks, anticipate to capture amazing footage. With wonderful slow-motion footage within 1080p/120fps, I can easily slow things lower as the world gets busier. Its also wise to look for some sort of drone which offers great image stabilization, therefore your footage will be smooth and steady even if a person? re flying throughout windy conditions. There are many fantastic man cave ideas, in case you? re the particular type who likes to entertain you might add a tavern or pool stand at the same time.

It allows guarantee that any kind of message you? re trying to express will likely be diluted. An individual will end up asked to give qualifications as an example: Bona fide picture IDENTIFICATION (driving license, military ID, express ID, and so upon. ). He inquired me to carry out some real real estate photography for him so that he could share the images on social multimedia and gain even more exposure. He desired to grow his / her company, so they set up the online sale about social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Web Blogs. She posted some of them on public social media marketing accounts. The quick seller may be someone, or the organization. The next step is to ask your loan broker to sell brief an unique number regarding shares. To assist demonstrate what an API is, let? s i9000 look at a simple products SaaS system, where our electronic resources are items that we desire to sell through an e-commerce platform.

Look for typically the seal of acceptance. The shot used by the treadmill is still hanging within our entryway today that we? re married. I did previously consider I? d end up being married and still have kids by the moment I got in the twenties. I can document and explore even more of my area with up in order to 34 minutes of flight time. I actually wanted to report some of your ex most memorable instances. It has been used to record amazing images on an 8, 000-kilometre trip across Western Australia and a Coromandel Peninsula trip within New Zealand. Some sort of lot has evolved in the world since of the web and no in which is the fact more obvious compared to the publishing market. For cellular to work, an end user must have an information plan and some sort of cellular signal in order to be able in order to get connected to the internet. Of course, you should see to it that you take those right approach or your emails will not really be as successful as you? g like them to be. Don? capital t take everything that you see inside a parse as gospel. Using your telephone since the only controller means that you received? t need in order to take another manage round, but in addition, it implies an individual? 온라인카지노 should cope with the port, which can end up being hit and skip.

You don? to need a company to use some sort of PayPal business bank account. Buyers on amazon use their eyes to shop, along with your photos will literally be worth 1000 words. Compared to be able to the summer months, Drive isn't quite since popular of any marriage month but really worth considering for a few reasons! Tradesy is an online marketplace with regard to designer clothing in addition to accessories, including wedding gowns. This capability authorized me to cover whole wedding activities without needing to rush. The particular DJI Air 2S is an excellent drone along with capabilities that help to make it ideal intended for my wedding offer photos and anybody seeking a reliable, high-quality drone for everyday usage. 에볼루션카지노 will regularly be our go-to drone digicam for a cheap, high-quality camera. This may seem like the obvious one although not all drones come with the incorporated camera. Right now there were some items like the t-shirt as well as the ring dish which were perfect for the early stages associated with planning.

“It’s the mooost wonderful tiiime of the yeaaaaar~” - From Kanata ;D

s-talking answered:

𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑, he wanders within the windy passageways & old theater halls, breathing in the scent of dead roses & rotting wood. it's quite reminiscing... in a way. it's been many years since he'd last view such exquisite place, let alone step inside, making the young serial killer halt for just a moment to look at the scattered posters clipped to the red peony walls; they are all of the ' ryuseitai ' members. a popular idol group which took japan by storm & now they're having a show here, an old theater located at the very heart of seoul; home sweet home, as they say.

alas envy starts to drift again, he brushes his black nailed hand across each & every poster in line, only to abruptly loom over a familiar face, one that draws him closer ── much closer ── pressing ever so slightly into the wooden wall where he whispers softly ‘pon the fictional lips; ❝ hnn... kanata shinkai... i know... you are here... ❞

suddenly, a distant melody begins to play & the young serial killer turns his head. he does not think twice before following it. he just moves, ripping the poster right off the golden pins. it must be him, envy thinks, pushing through yet another set of closed doors that lead him into the dressing rooms at the back. only one has the lights on. the gap from its partially open door slicing the darkness in half with a slither of neon blue, kanata's favourite colour. the youth smiles at the thought & slowing down a little, trails towards the entrance with cat-like steps where the melody becomes most definite.

he silently peers into the wooden frame, the neon blue light now vanishing into his towering darkness. ❝ . . . . . ❞ how beautiful. kanata is just like a mirthful butterfly, laughing, singing, & dancing freely even though everyone is already long gone. ohh, words cannot express how glad envy is that he didn't kill him the other day, allowing the clueless idol to sing for another hour or two without a single speck of distraction. that voice after all, is to die for...

It was one of their very first lives abroad. They had had one once before, in Singapore. That had been an experience, the myriad of people, the cheering fans, the happy faces on the little kids in the crowd. Everything that Ryuseitai stood for - camaraderie, friendship, togetherness - had shone brightly on that stage, and now, coming to Seoul, it had been no different. It had been magical, it had been captivating and it had been utterly exhausting, in a way. But so very rewarding.

Chiaki had been on an all-time high, and Shinobu had struggled with his shyness and Midori with his mental exhaustion, but Chiaki and Tetora had cheered them on and everyone had delivered well beyond what Kanata had hoped. Chiaki especially, dazzling bright as a supernova in the light of everyone’s cheers and glow sticks. Kanata fed off his energy, it powered him as well, as long as they stood on the scene, but the minute the curtain fell down after the final encore, he could feel a heavy weariness come over him.

Chiaki and the kids decided that they’d hit the down, maybe try and find a good barbecue place, but Kanata was just tired, and mingling with the masses on Seoul’s streets wasn’t something he was in the mood for right now. Midori muttered something about that if he went, why didn’t Kanata, and Kanata honestly felt bad... But Chiaki was okay with it, thankfully enough and as soon as the four of them had left, Kanata had laid down for a very quick cat nap.

As he woke up, refreshed, Kanata had taken to slowly starting to remove his stage make-up, but soon enough he simply wanted to... Try on some of the stage clothes, singing and dancing while he did so. It was a silly little thing, but it kept him entertained and it kept the magic going, just a little while longer. Besides, he was the only one here now, wasn’t he?

Gracefully, he danced. Deliberate, delicate movements, invoking the image of a mermaid twirling on cresting waves, and his soft, dreamy voice fell like whispering waves kissing the beach at sunset, his laugh trilling like a babbling creak.

Then, for a moment, he stopped. Was he really alone...? What was this feeling? “Odd...”

#stalking #the proof of mystery (kanata)

𝐢'𝐦 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮

𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: diluc, kaeya, zhongli, childe, xiao, albedo, and scaramouche.

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: he sucks at telling you how much he likes you, but he'll be damned if he doesn't try and romance the shit out of you. spoiler, he sucks at it.

𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠(𝐬): spoilers for diluc's backstory, and liyue's archon quest. also i cuss (a lot) >:D

𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: gender neutral

𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠: can't help falling in love ー elvis presley

this took forever, i hope y'all enjoy this ( ╥ω╥ ) this is also pretty long, so i apologize for the wait

i was going to add dainy, but I've already done him being in love, so i felt like it would be too repetitive to read. but I'll do my best to input more dainsleif content later on!

ー 𝐃𝐈𝐋𝐔𝐂

Dear lord help this man-

He has no experience or proper knowledge of what to do when in love, he's only really going off of what he's heard, and even that's quite limited, but he's trying his best.

He's very gentleman-like with you, often giving you drinks on the house should you visit the tavern. He thinks that letting his fingers softly linger against yours when handing you a glass of grape juice drink or staring you down when you're interacting with others counts as flirting.

He gets extra grumpy when you don't seem to respond to his "advances" but you're just wondering if he's mad or not because he's been staring you down for 15 minutes straight.

Diluc will often offer to walk you home, and if it's extra windy or chilly that night, he'll offer his coat, reassuring you that he can stand a little chill. And he thinks you look adorable in his fluffy coat.

Should you have any commissions within the vicinity of Dawn Winery, he will offer his help, and hey, he can swing a claymore with one arm like it's nothing, so you agree. Not only does he get to spend time with you, but he also gets to protect you from any harm.

Every time the two of you say your goodbyes and goodnight's, he can feel his face heat up as he goes over the conversations you two carried in his head, wondering if his affections were made too obvious or not clear enough. Just thinking about how your fingers grazed against his, and your playful grin directed towards him has him melting where he stands.

He has the bad habit of protecting you from the shadows, watching over you fondly, and making sure that no one brings harm to you. Especially the Fatui; he'd destroy them if he found out they so much as touched you.

Despite his constant grumpy poker face, he does care about what you say to him and absorbs any words you say to him. You once offhandedly mentioned needing enhancement ore in order to refine your weapon and the next day you found quite the generous amount of said ores in your camp set up.

Whenever you aren't looking, he's staring at you with the most love-struck expression, soft hue of pink dusting his cheeks and all. You're just so amazing, with your laughter ringing through the air, and your smile lighting up the room. Just thinking about you makes his heart melt.

Deep down, he's afraid of losing you. He's already lost his father, his true self, everything. He can't bear the thought of losing you too. But he's also scared of what your true thoughts of him are. He knows that he can rather stoic and cold at times, but he hopes that it doesn't scare you away; he just wants to be able to tell you how much he loves you.

Unlike his sworn brother, he has plenty of experience when it comes to romancing the pants off of someone. However, he's not been one for actual love.

He never meant to fall in love with you in the first place; he was just merely teasing you, you were just supposed to be another person he would charm, and that was that.

And yet here he is, finishing up his tasks while thinking about hugging you close to him, wondering how your lips would feel against his.

But a part of him pulls back from the feeling; he tries to tell himself that it's just a fleeting moment, it's just a mere physical attraction to you. But no, he finds himself often staring at you, wondering how nice it would be to be the one making you smile like that.

He's an absolute stinky and cunning bastard, he loves getting any sort of reactions out of you. Kaeya will blatantly flirt with you, whether it be in public or just the two of you out on an assignment together.

Kaeya is already a flirty bastard, but around you, he amps it up tenfold; he'll often compliment you, telling you that you look rather pretty/handsome today, and he'll even throw in a wink. Depending on how many assignments he was given that day, and his energy levels, he'll either take you out to eat or cook some food for you.

He becomes a bigger show-off than he already is. If you just so happen to be within hearing vicinity, he'll loudly talk about his great feats in battle with a great big smirk on his lips. please slap him

He's incredibly touchy with you, usually having his arm slung around your shoulder as he drags you off to the tavern. Much to Diluc's chagrin, he amps it up all the way; he'll casually place a hand on your thigh, much to your embarrassment, or leaning in way too close to say a well put together joke. He mostly does it to shove it in Diluc's face and to raise his blood pressure, but he also gets to see your cute reactions, so it's a win-win for him.

Kaeya, as secretive as he may be, deep down wants to share all of his secrets with you. But a part of him is afraid that you'll look at him like he's trash, and just walk away. He wants to be able to confide in you, to be able to melt into your touch without having to worry about what you or others will think of him.

A small part of him worries whether or not you take his advances seriously. He does know of his flirtatious reputation, but Kaeya worries that you'll reject him because of it, and he tries his best to come across as genuine as possible.

Kaeya hopes that one day, he'll be the reason why you're smiling like that, and he'll be able to freely embrace you and be able to know the taste of your lips. He wants you to know that his affections for you are genuine, and he really does want to stand by your side.

He's such a socially incapable baby, bless his soul.

Albedo may not exactly be one to delve into his emotions, but he is well-aware of what love is and how one acts when infatuated. So when he comes to the conclusion, that yes, he does indeed love you, well, he thinks about what to do with his festering emotions.

Love isn't exactly an emotion that he's too devoted to, as he's much too busy burying his nose in his alchemy and research. But he's just as curious about said emotion as he is about his work. Especially if it involves you. Albedo is quite curious about how exactly his heart began to beat so fast around you, and how you can make his usual poker face falter enough to let a slip of pink dust his cheeks.

Since he is more often than not needing more specimens for his research, he'll often ask for your help in gathering them. Albedo will often ask for your company, under the guise of experiments or gathering material he may need. His bright teal eyes will watch you with a soft fondness in them, as you aid him with his research.

His sketchbook has quite the abundance of drawings of you. They're a mix of absent-minded sketches that were never quite completed, or they're drawings that were fully completed, with beautiful hues and shades of colors blended together to create an image of you. That bright expression of happiness of yours is something that his sketchbook is quite familiar with.

Albedo worries about you when you're off on an expedition, or even just exploring. His poker face may not give it away, but he knows how dangerous Teyvat can be, especially Dragonspine. Many an adventurer has succumbed to the harsh cold, and you could be no exception to this. Especially with the rather abundant numbers of Hilichurls, the occasional Ruin Grader, and Frostarm Lawachurl. You can handle yourself well enough, but the thoughts swirl about should you be gone longer than expected.

Since he tends to become so busy with his alchemy that he forgets that he needs to eat or sleep at times, you're the one who has to practically drag his ass to bed just so he can rest, or bring him a hot meal just so he doesn't go hungry. You once told him you were very close to knocking him out just so he could sleep, with your fingers in an ok hand gesture. He then realized your fingers were touching

Albedo is so grateful that you don't find his aloof personality off-putting, and that you find it rather easy to socialize with the alchemist. He isn't exactly the most social man around, and he's even admitted that it's rather troublesome to maintain a relationship. But you've aided him in your relationship with him, never pushing him beyond his socializing boundaries, and aiding him whenever he needed it.

You've even helped him babysit Klee, rather happily in fact. He's had to cover for the two of you blowing up fish on more than one occasion, however, and it's led to many lectures and the two of you having specks of dust and the smell of smoke clinging to you.

Speaking of Klee, said little girl always speaks fondly of you, saying that you're the best, since you don't get mad at her for blowing up half of Mondstadt, but you always fuss over her like a big sister. Albedo was pretty sure he had a heart attack when Klee asked if he liked you, because he's always staring at you, and she just so happened to find one of his many sketches of you. He practically had to bribe her to not spill the beans, because he knows that Klee would accidentally spill everything since she's still just a kid after all.

Albedo does hope that he can find the right time to tell you that he really adores you. He wants to be able to see that happy smile and your boisterous energy all the time since it helps in elevating his mood significantly. You've even gotten Klee's approval! How could say no to that face? i sure as hell can't

Despite what many people say, he's not as unaware of his emotions as many think. He may be a bit slow, but he understands that what he's feeling when he's around you is love. He just has to ponder on how to best convey his affections for you.

Zhongli hesitates however since he's been around long before you, and he'll be around long after you leave this world. He doesn't want to go through the pain of losing someone else he loves. So he tries to make effort to at least lose these feelings, so both of you won't get hurt. But he fails to discard these feelings for you; he wants to relish in the way his heart races around you, and he wants to cherish what ever time the two of you have together.

He is such a good listener; Zhongli is extra eager to hear your voice spill out anything. Whether it is about your low amount of Mora he can relate or your eager retellings of your most recent and heroic feat, he's all ears. He actually encourages you to talk more; it serves as an excuse so he can hear your lovely voice to soothe him after a long day's work. That, and he stores away any information, such as what you like, dislike, etc. That way he can know what exactly to focus on when he wants to gift you something.

You practically have to drag him by the collar away from anything even remotely expensive that happens to catch his eye. You know that he's going to spend money he doesn't have, and he doesn't even have his damn wallet with him. With all your scolding, many of the shopkeepers think that the two of you are a cute couple.

Since he's quite fond of drinking tea while relaxing, he's more prone to invite you along, since he knows that you tend to overwork yourself, and completing all of these commissions in one go can be quite tiring. If you're up to it, he'll even ask for your assistance in looking over the most recent contract he acquired. Zhongli looks forward to hearing your thoughts, especially since he's the God of Contracts himself.

He's such a gentleman, and it definitely shows. He'll open the door for you, pull out your chair for you and then sit down himself, and he'll even offer his coat should it be rather chilly in the harbor. He's similar to Diluc in that sense, but instead of romantic, it just comes off as him being a polite and well-mannered man, since, well, it's Zhongli. He's the literal definition of 'gentleman.'

He tends to often ramble about various topics, but he doesn't want to accidentally want to bore you. He knows that his ramblings can be quite boring and even borderline annoying to some, so he'll try to find topics that you find enjoyable. You reassure him that he's not doing anything wrong and that you find his words to quite nice. You once told him that you've learned more from him than school ever taught you. He doesn't understand that, but he rather enjoys the swell of happiness that comes from the fact that you enjoy what he has to say.

Zhongli has the rather embarrassing habit of speaking about you to others willing to listen. He can go on about anything that comes to mind about you, especially the more embarrassing moments. He can't help it; he's completely in love with you, and just about everything you do makes his heart flutter.

If you happen to have any commissions or bounties in Liyue, well, he'll gladly assist you, since he knows the land and its history so well. Your bounty is a Sonehide Lawachurl that's particularly aggressive? He can help with discussing its weak points and defeating it alongside you. Your commissions require you to travel to Mt. Hulao and Jueyun Karst? He knows the area quite well, he can help you navigate the mountainous region, and you might as well see the breathtaking sights while you're there!

Even though he tends to be broke short on mora, when he's out walking the streets of Liyue and gazing at the shops, he wonders if you'll like this particular book that came in. If he happens to pass by a jewelry store, he thinks of your playful (e/c) hues. But Zhongli leans more towards gifting you much more sentimental gifts, such as a bouquet of Glazed Lilies', or some tea bags that he hand-crafted himself. He wants you to know that his affections for you are very much genuine, and he believes that his gifts should have that same kind of sincerity as well.

Sometimes, on nights when the moon is bathing the world in silver, and Liyue is lost in its dreams, Zhongli will become lost in his thoughts. You came into his life so easily, and you'll leave his life easier in just the blink of an eye. Your lifespan is just a speck in his, and he fears the day that he'll wake up, and you're no longer there, reduced to nothing but a memory for him to carry. He won't be able to laugh alongside you, he won't be able to gaze longingly at you while you sip away at your tea.

It's something that eats away at him from time to time, so that why he relishes the time the two of you spend together. He wants to be able to tell you of his feelings, so he can embrace you freely, be able to give a simple kiss to your wrist, and hold your hand while taking a simple stroll in the harbor. But Zhongli is certain of thing, however. He will never regret meeting you, and he knows that the memories you shared together will ones that he will cherish in the years to come.

*angy feral yaksha noises*

Xiao knows what love is, but due to the nature of his job, and the karmic debt that weighs upon his shoulders, he never paid it a second glance. It's practically the last thing on his mind, and Xiao thought that he'd ever really fall in love.

When he first came to this revelation, he stopped. Just stopped right. So the reason why his heart fluttered every time he saw you, and why he could feel his cheeks heating up every time he thought about you, was because he loved you? He has half the mind to think that you might have used a charm, or cursed him, but that's his way of denying what he knows is true.

Xiao tries to put distance between the two of you so that he can spare the two of you heartbreak he knows is inevitable. He tries to put on a much more aloof front to drive you away; he wouldn't forgive himself if he ever hurt you or caused you to suffer because of his karmic debt. But at the same time, it hurts him to see that hurt expression of yours. He wants to be able to indulge in his time with you, and not have to worry about anything.

He, obviously, has absolutely no experience in romance, and so Xiao is really lost on how exactly to approach and interact with you now that it's clicked in his head that he likes you.

He isn't verbal with his affections and prefers to use actions over words. Xiao's behavior around you is one giveaway about his feelings. He does still have his usual harshness in the tone of his voice, but he doesn't seem as annoyed as he usually is. He rather enjoys talking to you, despite the aloof expression he wears so well. He soaks up anything you say to him, and stores away the information for later usage.

Since you know the yaksha is especially fond of Almond Tofu, every time you arrive at the inn, you make a batch for him to enjoy. He can't say no to an offering and to you, so he accepts. Should you ask for any feedback and any suggestions, he'll go quiet for a moment, before telling you a simple," It was good, you don't have to change anything." You're internally cheering because Xiao himself practically praised your cooking, while said yaksha is watching you with the same aloof expression, but the tips of his ears are glowing with his embarrassment.

He'd never admit it to your face directly, but he tends to follow you around when you're off completing commissions or bounties, especially if the areas you frequent have more numerous populations of monsters. Unconsciously, the yaksha makes keeping you safe his top priority, after protecting Liyue of course. Xiao knows that you are a capable human, but he's seen more than his fair share of death, and he doesn't wish for the same fate to befall you.

Although Xiao doesn't exactly like socializing, he'll at least make an effort to try. He makes the offer to accompany you to Liyue Harbor under the guise of integrating with humans. That, and you practically dragged him with you, chastising him the whole way, saying that he needs to socialize more, or else he's just gonna be a grumpy old man.

Since he doesn't receive payment of any kind, Xiao can't exactly just buy you the fancy gifts that could be used to impress you. Rather, he prefers to give you handmade tokens he made himself. You'll often find yourself being gifted amulets that can drive away evil, a butterfly charm made of the grasses found in Liyue, or even some Crystalflies that he thought would look pretty in your hair. It's rather sweet since he's usually a bit shy when giving them to you, but does his best to keep his aloof demeanor intact.

Xiao is certainly a rather...interesting young man when his heart has been captured. But that doesn't mean that he isn't going to try his best to woo you. He may be rather hesitant and very inexperienced, but that doesn't mean that he isn't going to try his best to see if you feel the same way too.

ー 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐄

Childe honestly seems like the type who knows that he's in love, but doesn't want to acknowledge his feelings, mostly due to his occupation as a Harbinger. That, and a part of him just wants to believe that this rush he gets when he's around you is because of your frequent sparring.

However, once he does come to terms with his feelings on his own time, oh boy are you in for one hell of a time.

He's so clingy, constantly wanting to be around you, and following you around like a lovesick puppy, which he technically is. No matter where you go off to, he'll "coincidently" also be there. If you didn't know any better, you'd have half the mind to think the bastard was stalking you in his spare time. He is

Just like Kaeya, he also amps up his flirtatious behavior around you. If the constant flirty remarks made your way isn't enough, then the painfully obvious lovesick gazes and glances definitely are. Childe's azure eyes are constantly watching you as you carry out your daily routine, watching a smile break out on your face, and watching peals of laughter fall from your cute lips.

Should you ever decide to flirt back with him for fun, his usual cocky facade will drop, and instead, you'll be left with a very flustered man with the most lovestruck and happiest expression you've ever seen on him. It not only makes him incredibly happy that the one he likes is making moves on him, but it also fuels his already massive ego.

Since Childe has quite the well-paying job, and quite the handsome amount of mora on him, you'll more often than find yourself receiving gifts from him. Due to the nature of his job, he's often on the move, and as such, whenever he's out and lays his eyes on anything that reminds him of you, he's buying it. On some occasions, he'll keep some of these gifts as keepsakes. That way, he can hold it in his hand, gaze longingly at it, and think of your cute smile.

He has definitely told his family all about you. He talks a lot about you, so they've heard all about your time spent with Childe, and know all about you, courtesy of Childe of course. Since family plays such a big role in his life, he can't wait for the day where he'll return to Snezhnaya, but with you by his side. He's had more than his fair share of daydreaming of these fantasies playing through his head.

Childe is a rather jealous man, making it known to anyone who thinks they have a chance with you that he likes you. He'll just ooze a very threatening aura, complete with a menacing smile. It doesn't matter if it's just a random citizen, a low-ranked member of the Fatui, hell, even the other Harbingers aren't safe from his dagger-filled stare. But if it makes you annoyed or uncomfortable, then he'll stop, albeit with a pout on his lips.

Besides, what do they have that he doesn't? He can cook rather well, he can carry out all manner of household chores, and he can fight too! Childe practically shows off all of his talents should he notice someone else going for your attention. He's perfect boyfriend material for you! Of course, he's also good husband material as well, and he'll be incredibly excited should you offhandedly say this while he's flaunting around like a peacock.

Due to the nature of his job, Childe has had more than his fair share of bloodshed, and he welcomed the thrill of fighting. But now, he's worried about whether or not one day, you'll eventually find out what he tried so hard to hide. Then you'll just leave, not wanting to be with a murderer, giving him a cold and uncaring look before walking away. He's terrified that this will become a reality for him, and as such, tries to present himself in such an appealing way to you.

He knows that you are well aware of what his occupation is, but deep down, Childe wonders how long this warm time with you will last before you eventually get fed up with him, and find someone else who isn't as bloodthirsty or ruthless as him. It's something that will quietly eat away at him while he's alone with his thoughts.

ー 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇𝐄

Oh Jesus Christ no-

I'm gonna tell you right now, he's gonna be an asshole about it. He already acts like one, but this time, he's gonna be extra as hell. It's not that he wants to act like that, it's just that he refuses to admit that he's fallen in love, much less act on those feelings.

He hates everything about you; your stupid pretty smile, your stupid shiny (h/c) hair, your stupid bright smile. He gets so pissed because how dare you mess with his head like this, and make his cheeks practically explode with red.

One thing that he can openly admit to liking about you, however, is your ambition. Unlike the brainless imbeciles that he has to interact with, he knows that you carry enough ambition to carve your own path in this world. You won't let trivial things like fate, Celestia, or even the Archons determine your path. ooh get it bby Scaramouche knows that you're strong enough and determined enough to get by through life.

He practically demands you to constantly be near him at all times, not even leaving you to answer him. He can't stand the thought or sight of you near some brainless morons that think they can charm you while he's right there.

Lord help anyone that tries to approach you in front of him, especially if they're of the opposite sex. You can practically feel his venomous gaze piercing through your back at the poor Fatui underling who was just trying to make decent conversation. You flipped him off in retaliation; he doesn't know what it means but it makes him angy

Even if the two of you aren't even dating, he's still a jealous little shit. Even though he hates being treated with such sappy emotions, he'll get visibly upset that you decide to direct your affections elsewhere. He sends death glares at anyone who is basking in your attention a little too much, then practically yanks your hand back to him. Tch, he supposes he can tolerate your headpats for now.

No, he does not have a soft spot for you! That's absurd! And no, he's not crying because you're so goddamn cute, no! It's all your fault; you're just so damn attractive!

Should you offhandedly mention that you needed a certain type of material, you'll find quite the abundance of it at your residency. Unlike Childe, he'll outright refuse to admit that he bought those items for you. But he will have a rather smug smirk on his face should he see you make usage of what he bought you.

It's practically impossible to shake him off; that damn midget follows you everywhere, whether you know it or not. Whether you're out completing bounties or commissions, or even just walking around, he'll sometimes check in on you, just to see you in action, and just to make sure that you aren't taking on more than you can handle. No he's not stalking you! He's just making sure you don't die; you're the only one that doesn't piss him off every 5 seconds. tsundereee

However, deep down, he is scared that his occupation as a Harbinger is what will ultimately drive you away. He knows it sounds ridiculous because you're a strong and capable person, but he can't help but let those thoughts fester. He can't bring himself to be more vulnerable around you, not now. Scaramouche hates how it tugs on his heartstrings whenever your face becomes crestfallen should he say something extremely harsh.

Scaramouche struggles with being more emotionally vulnerable around you, especially since he's used to being so callous bitchy. But he almost envies how you can so vulnerable with him, the sixth Harbinger. It's almost scary to him how much of a hold you have over his heart, and how he does not put up much of a fight against that.
