001 - genshin, 002 - xiaoven, 003 - mmm childe?
Thank you isak!! This took a long time but it was alot of fun :)
001 | Genshin
Favorite character: Bennett, he's just a guy, a small guy with zero luck, abandoned by fate, but somehow he still manages to be kind and optimistic. He's lowkey inspiring to me, he's also my phone background!
Least Favorite character: umm… npc - Albert (enough said), pc - Al0y, if we're not counting her it's Q!qi (don't want them to show up in their tags since I'm dragging them ahsjek)
5 Favorite ships: oooo okay in no particular order- Venti/Aether/Xiao, Yae Miko/Ei, Ayato/Thoma (in the fucked up way though), Itto/Gorou, and Albedo/Kaeya is slowly creeping into my subconscious
Character I find most attractive: gah um uh? There are so many hot characters but none of them are standing out in my mind as complete and utter smoke shows to me personally? Huh, guess my aceness is really showing on this one- SHIT NOPE I JUST REMEMBERED BAIZHU. It's him. It's Baizhu
Character I would marry: Gorou, he's a sweetie, I love him, true husband material if I've ever seen it
Character I would be best friends with: Heizou, don't know much about him yet but I want to be besties with him
A random thought: Diluc's farming ascension material should be a calla lily, make the parallels between him and Kaeya stronger, cowards
An unpopular opinion: People in the west AND east who hate Kaeluc simply bc they were "siblings" should also hate with their entire being Eren/Mikasa and if they don't, catch these fucking fists.
My Canon OTP: There’s? Canon ships in genshin? Okay there isn't agzhkdkd I was CONFUSED ahjsjdk
My non-canon OTP: queer platonic polycule Razor/Bennett/Fischl- aged up of course
Most Badass character: Scaramouche!!!
Most Epic Villian: Signora, her elemental switch?? Kicking my little meow meow Venti?? Her dress!?! Iconic. Hate her. Love her. Want to be her.
Pairing I'm not a fan of: Ay@ka/Th0ma, I see why people ship it, I just prefer fucked up gays to fucked up straights, long live bi Thoma though
Characters I think the writers/creators screwed up: Albedo. I know he has an intriguing backstory but I don't know what the fuck it is or what the fuck happened up on that damn mountain with him and Bennett and why we might have to kill him and what the hell he has to do with Khaneriah- that should've been a permanent event. Same with all the festivals that new players miss or have missed
Favorite friendship: Razor and Bennett!
Character I most identify with: that extensive uquiz kin assignment says Aether, but personally I'll tentatively say Albedo since I don't know much about his character but what I do know feels… familiar
Character I wish I could be: I think it'd be cool to be Yae Miko, immortal, turn into a fox, have hot girlfriend/wife, epic electro powers, read/write books, eat fancy meals, yeah her
002 | Xiather
When did I start shipping them: When I finished the attack on Liyue Harbor, but it really grew roots after the latest 2.7 archon quest
My thoughts: I think they could deeply understand each other, their losses and pains. They could help each other, heck Xiao comes every single time you call him to the field and Aether whenever we run into Xiao wants to talk with him a little longer. They are practically one of the more Canon non-canon ships, if that makes sense
What makes me happy about them: The mental image of Xiao catching Aether in the fight at the harbor, how this is the first person he has touched in hundreds of years, how he's been so cautious of his karma and he's worried if he has infected Aether with it, only for the relief that Aether… isn't really human, and that he wants to be in Xiao's arms again and have Xiao in his
What makes me sad about them: just Xiao. How he isolates himself from everyone, that actually getting them together would first be preceded with 100 levels of self hate/insecurity from Xiao in his mind. He doesn't think he's deserving of love :(
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: possessive Xiao, chat fics, ABO
Things I look for in a fanfic: I want to find a fanfic that really explores their potential. Like, I want a 12k fic of them just talking. A real ass long deep conversation. I want a character study
Wishlist: I want more events/quests where they interact
Who i would be comfortable with them ending up together if not each other: Xiao with Venti and/or therapy bc we both know Venti doesn't know therapy, he can't be Xiao's "therapist" like Aether could. Aether is the bicycle of genshin, he can be with almost anyone, but Ayaka and Venti are strong contenders for me
My happily ever after for them: End of genshin impact, Celestia is defeated, twins are reunited, Khaneriah is restored, the twins decide to stay for a while, Xiao is released from his contract, and he heals. They get closer, they help each other, they change, out grow each other for the better, Xiao is more integrated into society, and the twins continue their journey across the stars. In my mind, they are simply two people who were lucky enough to cross paths and help each other for as long as they could.
003- Childe
How i feel about him: Tumblr sexy man-esque. He's a little… overplayed by the fandom if that makes sense, kinda like how Oikawa was. Everyone loves him and hates him and they overlysexualize/feminized him. Who he actually is out of fandom is really cool and I understand why he is a fan favorite. I'm excited to see him more in canon
Any/all I ship with him romantically: Zhongli, Traveller!Lumine, AbyssPrince!Aether (these are very specific and the twins can't be changed), and likely a future fauti member bc there is a potential dynamic I could see (but not signora or scaramouche)
My favorite non-romantic relationship with this character: Kaeya and Signora- they have a more bitchy friendship thing, and scaramouche hates his guts, I love that for him aghdjd
My unpopular opinion (NSFW warning): I really hate zhongli/childe being in an ABO au, they are, by definition, switches where childe is the more dominant by the fact that, say it with me, "water erodes stone"
One thing I wish for in canon: I hope we see him before we go to Snezhnaya, I feel like Snezhnaya is going to be the last land we explore besides maybe Khaneriah and I don't want to wait over 3 years to see him again
Favorite friendship with him: I guess… Zhongli. Or the Traveller. I guess the Traveller in canon bc I don't know if Childe and Zhongli meet up after Childe learns the truth or if they have broken apart. I loved that they seem to have lunch together, it showed a closeness. And as for the Traveller, the fact that Childe trusts his younger brother in our care and knows we would instantly take care of this lost child- idk I like that trust
My crossover ship: ??? Hmm let me think. I think I would like to see him interact with Oikawa or Kise. They are all kinda similar and I want to see how interacting makes their differences shine.

Hey! That's literally it's default, it doesn't know better, so don't go suing my poor brain!😖😭 Well, it's semi-sound in Fullmetal Alchemist, but i doubt your usage of their concept is what they had in mind😅 And Yeah, okay, food point😂🙈 ...Oh god, don't remind me of Tony, I'll NEVER get over that pure emotional damage (like, literally🤣 I used to read 98% Tony fics, now I can't bear that or rewatching the old movies cause his fate breaks my heart🙈) but very good point... (TBC3)
(TBC3:) Let's just hope McQ and Tom will be kinder to Ethan than the MCU was to Tony (but I guess the chances are higher? Unlike Tony Ethan didn't always get blamed for every other character's BS?🙈) Yuup, they ABSOLUTELY deserve their HEA!😍🙈 Hehe, that would BOTH be awesome! They can just give Rebecca her own AND an Ilsa movie!😍 I doubt there is any one of us who's NOT still bitter about it🙈 (Actually, I didn't think of this as a possible ending til you said it, but the more I (TBC4)) (TBC4:) think of this as a possible ending til you said it, but the more I think of it, the nicer it would indeed have been if they recalled that scene and how from that point everything spiralled so why not change the answer this time to let them have their HEA🤔🙈) HER REACTION WAS GOLDEN AND PERFECT AND TOTALLY EMBODIES NOT ONLY WOMEN BEING JUST AS BADASS AND NO DAMSELS IN DISTRESS AS WELL AS THEIR MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT!😍😍 Yuup, tho Ethan is less stubborn about the martyr (TBC5) (TBC5) thing than Kara is IMO and more into just saving the world🤔 No, it's really not thought through yet😅 What I described is literally just the few thoughts I had during/shortly after the film and the 2 scenes I got stuck on🙈🤷🏻‍♀️😅 (😅) Probably, tho to be fair, 13 really is a bit much, even I startled at it😅🙈 Oh, wait, you do? Nice! And yeah, that's what I was gonna ask(ofc only if you're comfortable with that!!!🙈) Haven't noticed a Secretary on Discord yet🤔 (8 messages, sry)
Well it should, that's its job! Maybe suing it will finally make it work like it should! (ꐦ○_○)
I'm expanding on the concept! That's totally acceptable! I'm glad you see it my way. ( ̄^ ̄) (BTW, "food point"... Is Venti hungry?)
Sorry but it was the first example that came to mind... T_T Yep, let's hope so. (True, but then again Ethan's always getting himself into situations where he gets disavowed and/or framed so...) Agreed on both counts! This is a classic "Why not both?" situation. XD
We'll die of old age with this bitterness still in our hearts... =_= (Yep, it would have been easy and full of meaning but those writers were just too stupid to think of it... =_=)
ABSOLUTELY AGREED! ヽ(○`・v・)人(・v・´○)ノ
True, he goes all out to save the world but he's not a death seeker like Kara...
"Few"? I'm almost afraid to ask what your idea of "a lot" is. XD
It really is, you really outdid yourself. XD
Yeah, I'm totally fine with using Discord. Send me your tag in a separate message and I'll add you. Oh, akane171 has Discord too and I mentioned this to her so if you want we can form a tiny group/server thing for just the three of us in addition to our individual private conversations. =)

December Prompt Challenge - Day 2: Drinking a hot drink.
Even for December, London was greyer, colder and wetter than usual. It was damn right miserable and everyone was feeling it even if the warm confines of the building. Still, it didn’t mean everything was completely bland. Decorations had been sporadically dotted around the large room, a tall, real Christmas tree full with lights and ornaments stood in a corner. Tinsel had been laid over the dividers of the desks and on the banisters leading to the upper level. Each desk had got their own mini light up tree as well, simply to bring happiness to their occupants. 
Emily might admit she had gone slightly overboard with the decorations, but then, no one would ever know it had been her in the first place. To her unit she was mysterious, level-headed, someone who didn’t take shit from anyone and possibly a little terrifying as well. They’d admit, Emily Prentiss was a good leader and chief, but she was also an enigma and that’s exactly how she liked it to be. They knew of her time in the FBI and patches from her old Interpol days but apart from that, nothing. Her private life was a complete mystery. 
Which was why Emily had decorated the large room at two in the morning when everyone had gone home. The Christmas before hadn’t been that cheerful, and she had wanted to change that this year into something everyone could enjoy. Even if they didn’t celebrate the holiday, who didn’t love trees, lights and tinsel? (Sergio hated tinsel, but he was on the other side of the Atlantic. Oh did she miss him). 
Acting oblivious to the sudden decorations the next day with everyone else had been a silent delight for her and the mood in the room had heightened. Her secret plan had been a success. 
If she was thinking about getting everyone Santa hats, it was nobody's business. 
But even with the festivities, Emily’s mood wasn’t completely raised. She missed her wife, especially at this time of year, and the call she’d had with JJ a few nights ago about the fact they might not be able to spend Christmas together had upset her. Emily knew it was no one's fault. Schedules were hard to match up, especially being half way round the world from each other. They’d simply have to do with what they had. Emily did feel guilty however, it being her projects and cases which were making it harder to get back to the States to spend time with JJ. Hopefully they’d get to in the New Year. 
But just because the holidays were edging closer very fast didn’t mean her workload decreased at all. If anything it increased with how Emily was letting those with families have the time off they deserved. It was unfortunate their job couldn’t stop for one day, and whilst some of the unlucky ones would have to be on call Christmas Day, she had tried to make it fair for everyone. She herself had decided to come into the office that day just to relieve some stress off of everyone. Working made Christmas feel less lonely after all. 
xxx
It was a week or so before Christmas and Emily had had a meeting first thing. Walking back from it and into her office, nothing seemed out of place or unusual. Putting her bag down on the desk for a moment, she sent a few messages on her phone before noticing the venti Starbucks cup. A smile appeared on her face for a moment as she went to sit down, putting her bag on the floor and logging into the laptop on her desk.
It had started a few months after she had taken the job. Every morning someone would be kind enough to bring her a coffee on their way to work. She had found out they even had a little chart as to who would do it when, and it had been a gesture like that which had helped her relax more into the job and not feel so much like an outsider. Emily had quickly stopped buying her own drinks in the morning and would thank them whenever she saw them for that days coffee. 
There was only one small problem, however, and that was Emily wasn’t the biggest fan of coffee. Yes, she liked it, and she would never tell her team because she didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but coffee wasn’t her favourite hot drink. No, hot chocolate was. 
Anyone who knew Emily well knew how much she loved chocolate, how she always had some in the bag just for emergencies. She even had a secret stash in the bottom draw of her desk. She loved hot chocolate, it being her comfort drink, and with the Christmas flavours here once more she was in her element. Back at the BAU, only two people had ever got her favourite order right and that was JJ and Garcia. 
So it would come as a surprise when she picked up the still warm cup and took a sip, not to find the usual taste of black coffee, but the sweet blend of chocolate and vanilla flavoured syrup. Emily was stunned for a moment, eyebrows knitting together in confusion for a moment. Garcia would have never been able to keep something like her visiting a secret, not by a long shot. Which meant…
Sure enough, as Emily looked up from her desk she was met with the striking blue eyes and blonde hair of her wife, leaning against the doorframe of her office with a grin on her face. 
“Took you long enough. I was worried it was going to get cold. I’ve been here for half an hour already.” The grin never left JJ’s face as she tried not to laugh at the shock apparent on Emily’s features. 
“Jen? W-What? What are you doing here? Why aren’t you in D.C?” Emily was still stunned, her wind whirring to catch up with what was happening. She watched as her wife walked into the office, closing the door behind her and made her way over to the desk where Emily was still sat. 
“Well, when you told me you wouldn’t make it back home, I knew I had to do something. So I thought, why don’t I come to you again this year? I asked Hotch and he agreed, and now I’m all yours for a whole two weeks and a half weeks. I had a lot of overtime to use up.” 
Without another word Emily put the cup down, got out of her chair and went around the desk, colliding with JJ with force as she wrapped her arms around her neck into a tight hug. “You’re really here for Christmas?” She asked, wanting to make sure this wasn’t just a dream. 
JJ hugged her back just as tight. It had been months since they’d last been able to touch and she wanted to hold onto Emily forever. A hand stroked through the brunette's hair, a smile on her face. “Yes, I’m really here for Christmas Em. I couldn’t leave my wife all alone now could I?” 
Pulling back slightly, Emily beamed at her before she leaned in to kiss JJ, savouring the moment as much as she could. Screw professionalism for two seconds; her wife was here and she could kiss her if she wanted. “I missed you.” She murmured against JJ’s lips. “I can’t believe how lucky I am. Having you with me for Christmas and you getting me a hot chocolate.” 
“I missed you too baby. And what can I say? We both know I’m the best. Now drink it before it gets cold, I’m not getting you another one.” But she would. They both knew she would. 
Letting go of her but staying close, Emily reached for the cup to drink from, humming happily to savour the taste and making JJ laugh in the process. 
“Will you be able to entertain yourself whilst I’m working the next few days?” Emily was already trying to work out how she was now going to have Christmas Day off, but she had a sneaking suspicion her unit was going to make her regardless. 
“Of course honey. I can find things to do, even if that includes annoying you in your huge office whilst you’re busy being the boss. I might even bring you a hot chocolate or two if you’re lucky.” JJ pressed a kiss to Emily’s cheek. 
“Oh I am very lucky. Maybe you could get me one of each of the Christmas flavours.” Emily was joking...well, half joking. 
JJ rolled her eyes fondly, but in the end she’d do anything for Emily and to see the sparkle in her eyes that was there now. And if that meant filling her with chocolate then so be it. “Don’t push your luck Chief Prentiss. Now, how about we introduce myself properly to your team hmm?” She held out her hand for Emily to take. 
Although taking it, Emily looked a little guilty, giving JJ a small shrug. “Well…” 
“Emily Prentiss, are you telling me they still don’t know you’re married?” JJ asked exasperatedly. She wasn’t surprised though, it had taken Emily a long time even with the BAU to open up slightly about her private life. 
“Maybe…” 
Rolling her eyes once more, JJ gently tugged Emily across the room to the door. “Come on, I’m going to tell them all you’re a big softie. Nice work on the decorations by the way. I know the Emily Christmas touch when I see it.” 
Emily gasped and shook her head though she didn’t really try to stop JJ. “No, you absolutely can’t tell them I’m a big softie. I’m their boss! I’m fierce and, and-“ 
She was cut off by JJ stopping in her tracks and pressing a kiss to her forehead. “I know you are sweetheart. So fierce and badass.” She cooed with a giggle. “Now come, be good and introduce me and I’ll get you another hot chocolate at lunch okay? Maybe even the chocolate mint one?” 
The unit chief had started to pout as JJ cooed at her, though she let out a gasp at the mention of a second hot chocolate that day. “Chocolate mint? You really do love me.” 
Laughing, JJ looking at her wife with such fondness and adoration. “I really do love you. Now, let’s go say hi to everyone. If you’re lucky I’ll let you have one of your Christmas presents early tonight.” With a wink, JJ pulled Emily out of the room. 
Emily really was lucky, she thought to herself. Her wife had flown across the ocean to be with her for Christmas and got her her favourite drink. She truly was happy. 
(And if her team shared knowing looks when Emily finally introduced JJ as her wife, she pretended not to notice.)
