The writers of the Sith Inquisitor class story are such cowards for giving us conversation options like "yay me" and "punishment, hmm?" and making the actual spoken lines be shit like "I am inevitable!" or "I will show you the meaning of pain!"

Spider Webs - König*Fem!Reader
He's obsessed with you, but you are more obsessed with him.
Content Warning: 18+ (masturbation, dirty imaginations), mdni , König is a pervert and so are you.
part 2 part 3 bonus chapter 1
König thinks people like you shouldn't join the military, you were too kind, too innocent for this place.
You were his assistant who joined KorTac a year ago.
You quickly became familiar with your colleague. You are friendly and considerate. You always remember what others like, notice the little details, and keep a mental note.
Even to someone like him.
Your job was to assist him, so of course you two interact a lot. You help him with the tedious paperwork, and when he is tired of writing the endless reports, and just starts to think about having some coffee, you knock on his door and come in with a cup of latte in your hand.
He never told you he likes latte before, he assumed you knew it from Horangi. At first, you tried different portions of milk, and you found out the amount of milk he loves to add to his coffee the day he asks for one more cup.
He usually thinks he hides his emotions and thoughts behind his hood very well — at least to others, until the day he squinted his eyes when he's talking to you a few times after drowning him in the pile of paperwork for too long and his eyes were sore.
That day after you left his office after reporting some news, he reached his hand under the hood, rubbing his eyes in order to relieve the pressure, and a few moments after, the familiar soft knocks resonated in his office, you came in with a warm towel in your hand.
"I think you might need this, colonel." You handed him the towel, it was lukewarm in his hands, but he felt like his heart was burning. "I hope you don't mind that I use my own towel since I didn’t find one."
He covered his eyes with the towel after you walked out of the office. The exhaustion vanished like it had been absorbed by the towel.
and it's the day he notices his obsession with you.
Like a moth flying into flames, he knows it is wrong, and he thinks he doesn't deserve you, but he can't help but indulge deeper in your warmness.
The towel you gave him is tucked into the deepest part of his drawer. He told you that he accidentally spilled the coffee on the towel, and he would buy you a new one, which you smiled and told him it was not a big deal.
The towel smelled just like you, having the elegant fragrance of your perfume always making him dizzy when he's near you.
He took it to his nostril, and inhaled deeply, letting your smell occupy his whole mind, inhaling you in, letting it merge with his blood, his every single cell, his soul.
He took it back to his room the day he felt extremely tired and wrapped it around his shaft, recalling the alluring figure he saw in the day, trying to remember the feeling your hand brushed against him when you handed him the coffee.
He bit the inside of his hood, but it did little to hide his moans. Your name slipped out his mouth like a motto, louder and louder, he imagined what you might be doing now. 
Were you taking a shower, with those bubbles covering your perfect body? Were you cooking something while swaying your hips along with the music you were playing?
Or, were you pleasuring yourself too? He hoped he was the one you were thinking of when you put your hands over your most private part, rubbing circles on your clit while whining with your honey-soaked voice.
Oh, you didn't know how he desperately wanted you to moan out his name too, like how you always call him by his rank sweetly, but he imagined you calling him König this time.
"Oh... Scheiße!...I- I’m coming..!" His voice picked up an octave, and after a grunt, he covered your towel with his cum.
You didn't know how guilty he felt when you greeted him with your cute smile the next day, reminding him how the white in contrast with the blue of your towel.
He realized he was totally a sick bastard when your scent finally faded from the towel after washing them the same night he used them to pleasure himself.
He was unable to sleep without your smell anymore, not when he couldn't let your smell become the last thing he thought about before he drifted into sultry dreams about you.
He went to the office you shared with other assistants at night, searching your table for another towel.
He found nothing. 
Your desk was clean and neat, without any personal things except a few pens you use.
No towel or handkerchief, no hair tie, no ornament he could sneak out.
so he went through the profiles of all workers of KorTac secretly, typing your name in the search bar, and opening yours with shaky breaths.
And there's your address, written under your name, he felt like the words are shining glaringly in the dark office.
"I'll be out for a few hours." He told you the next day, looking down at you, voices remain as calm as he could be.
"Okay, tell me if there's anything I can help you with." your innocent smile almost made him feel sorry, but he didn't forget to inhale the smell of your perfume under his hood.
He drove his car, heading towards your house, the address already imprinted in his mind after reading it repeatedly the last night.
Every red light makes him anxious and excited at the same time. What would your house look like? Maybe he could finally find some little decorations he could bring with him every second, but he was sure that your house would be tidy just like your desk at the base.
It was almost too easy, the fence around your house did nothing to stop him from climbing in, and he opened the front door with the tools he brought with him.
Once he stepped into your home, his knees became weak. Your house drowned him in your smell, adrenaline made his heart pounded strongly against his chest.
Just like what he assumed, your house was clean —almost too clean compared to a normal person's — and he instantly noticed your habit of closing every room's door before you went out.
He opened the first door he saw. It was a bathroom, but he found no towel in there, only a few bottles of shower gel and shampoo.
But weren't you a person who even kept one at your workplace? Why there wasn't any of them in your bathroom?
he opened the second door, happily found out that it was your bedroom, and he walked a little too swiftly to your bed, shoving his face into your pillow.
He indulged himself for a few minutes after his brain reminded him that he didn’t have much time to just lay here, he needed to find what he came for.
He opens your closet.
Oh, it is like a treasure house built only for him. He attentively rummaged through everything he could find so he wouldn't destroy the orderliness, taking a piece of any treasure he could — your fluffy towel, one of your golden earrings.
and a pair of exquisite undergarments which he is sure the white laces would bring out your already overwhelming beauty.
After putting all of them in his bag, he walked out of the bedroom contentedly and found out there was another room.
It was hidden from the sight of your front door, and he was too high to pay attention to it before he came into your bedroom, but he noticed the difference now.
The door was slightly opened, leaving a crack luring him to explore, so he opened it slowly.
A chill went down his spine when he took a good look at the inside.
His photos, which he didn’t even know when or how you took them, decorated every single part of the wall in front of your desk.
His breath became faster than before when his eyes flicked to the notebook you left open on your desk.
"2023/10/10 09:35 König tells me to make him a cup of coffee.
2023/10/10 10:56 König comes out of his office and goes to the training room.
2023/10/10 12:13 König goes to the cafeteria. He eats a chicken breast sandwich, 5 slices of apple, and 1 tangerine."
His hand flipped the pages, the record started from the first day you joined KorTac, and he let out a gasp when he suddenly heard your chuckles coming from the speaker beside the notebook.
"Like what you see, colonel?"

In my second year doing a masters, once, I was attending a symposium, and the following took place:
I get there exactly on time for the first speaker to start talking about the paper he was in the process of writing. I sit to the left of the (dissertations defense) room, where I coincidentally end up finding an empty chair next to a group of students who happen to be working on the same theory as me, and whom I was on friendly terms with because we attend the same workshops, colloquia..
A few things: the first speaker is a professor at the university I went to. However, he only taught "travaux dirigés" and not "cours", meaning he didn't give lectures because he lacked the qualifications. And throughout the years, I've heard plenty of students complain about him. In fact, he had a reputation of being straight up one of the worst professors: a lot of time, he was absent, and when he showed up, it was to give his students 0 substance, and to waste their time talking about his personal matters.
This guy decides to get one step higher up the academic echelon, in short, to get promoted to get a better salary. And how do you do that? One way among others is to publish articles. So this guy decides to do just that. Except, instead of landing on something in *his* major, he decides to venture into the major I was studying, and in particular the theory I was specializing in. Do I think people shouldn't get to research other majors? No, but this comes with a caveat: the person needs to realize that they're making a huge leap, and that they can't fancy themselves able to master this unfamiliar subject in a few weeks or months. But that's not all: the theory I was specializing in was not liked in our department. I myself didn't like it. To give you a glimpse of how complex it is: in its latest 2014 version, the book delineating this theory was 800+ pages. And that is not taking into consideration the other books and articles the author had published throughout the years, elucidating the theoretical underpinings of the theory. But complexity wasn't the reason I didn't like it, it was rather because of what I thought was *unwarranted* complexity; academia perpetuating itself through overly-abstract mumbo-jumbo that tries to distract you from the fact that it doesn't mean anything and that it's only there so that some people have jobs. But I was pushed to pick it (along with my supervisor) for reasons that I will not detail, because it will make this long wall of text even longer.
I listen to him present the gist of his work on the article so far, I try to not to make what I had heard about him from other students, or the fact that he decided to write an article about a major and a theory he knew zilch about for a promotion (and this is by his own admission)... sway my judgement. And what do you know? Everything about that presentation was ridiculous. For starters, almost everything he said is either completely wrong or partially wrong. The guy didn't understand what he was talking about. But did that faze him? Make him re-think his decision? That maybe if he wanted to pursue a promotion (and his types always think themselves deserving of one) there was still no reason for him to write a paper about something he understood close to nil about?
But this guy's work had one major flaw that simply could not be rectified: the theory doesn't prove what he wants it or purports it to. That was the bottom-line, and the thing that would make all other conversations around his work useless, if not absurd.
He finishes speaking and the chair asks: do you have any questions? So my supervisor, who was the head of the department says: the students working on this theory are sitting in that part of the room, why don't we ask them? One of the girls sitting in front of me fetches the mic, but no one says anything, and an awkward silence ensues. Finally, I raise my hand and speak without a microphone: "how does x prove y?" When I asked that question, I had a solid answer in my head "You can't." But I still maintained a slim chance that I was wrong. To tell the truth I had multiple reasons to ask: 1. I was angry that this work would be even entertained, and I knew that the only reason it hadn't been torn to shreds through insults and mockery was because of who the speaker was: a professor at the university. 2. his demeanor made me angry: he kept cracking "jokes" about the fact that he didn't understand what he was talking about, trying to excuse things that might be wrong about his paper, and to anticipate the fact that he won't be able to answer questions at the end of his presentation, and finally, 3. I think one form of kindness is to not indulge something, let it fester for longer... when it's a cul-de-sac.
He stutters, gives a long-winded answer that answers nothing. By the end, the chair who is a professor of another major, says:" let's ask the expert what she thinks" and yields the floor to my supervisor. She says "I think Mr. ... has been courageous for working on a theory that is very distant from his own major. Please give him one round of applause" And the room claps (Yes, like the meme). The chair then asks "so I take it Mr. ...'s work is correct?" She says yes.
Then, during a break, she (my supervisor) comes to where I had been sitting, speaks to a few other students. I wait for a turn, then I ask her: "I don't want to insist, and if I'm wrong I have no problem accepting that, but I want to know: how does x prove y?" I ask that, after having spent the entire time feeling embarrassed and going through everything I had spent countless nights, from night to sunrise, hunched over a desk, racking my brain, making slow advances..on. She says "It doesn't. But Mr. ... is our colleague, and he's an established name here, and he is owed the utmost respect."
Once, I went to talk to my supervisor about something. She had finished teaching, I trailed slowly behind her as she went to her office in the administration, closed the doors to her office, teachers' lounge... And while she did that, she told me the following about one of the students she had been supervising: "she told me "you didn't understand what I was trying to say, Madam"! Can you believe that? Can you believe the insolence?"
.آه يا قلبي

my url for the house rules for our muses, pick any muse of mine you've interacted with for it.
SEND ME A URL AND I’LL POST 10 HOUSE RULES THEIR MUSE AND MINE WOULD HAVE IF THEY LIVED TOGETHER ||Accepting|| @whiskeysmulti
Haru and Gokudera
As a safety precaution, anyone who is coming over for the first time, they have to be vetted first, as to make sure that they aren't going to be a danger. It came about because Haru has a trusting nature and she may very well make a friend with an enemy and be like, 'would you like to come over for some tea?' New people must be vetted first.
Absolutely do not stain the bedsheets or the rugs with blood. There is a tarp tucked away in the side closet to discard bloodied items onto before anyone can walk inside. Blood stains are a pain to get out, after all.
No smoking allowed inside, take that outside.
No indoor shoes inside. Wear inside slippers. The day she finds mud on the floors, she's making someone clean with a toothbrush.
No Lambo bullying allowed. Be nice!
Bianchi's cooking isn't allowed past the front door. Nothing can be done if it's food that Bianchi herself brought over or cooked while over. (It's a losing battle to tell Bianchi to leave her cooked food behind. She'll shove it down your throat)
Assuming Gokudera does a lot of dynamite maintenance, all of that dangerous mafia business has to be conducted in one room only. It should be locked if he's not in there. This is to ensure no one else can go in to tamper with anything and on the off chance her parents visit, she doesn't want to explain 'oh yeah Gokudera carries them around with him all the time'.
No loud fighting allowed after 8pm. Be considerate of neighbors. Whispered fighting is fine.
Unspoken rule: After a fight, there will always be a cuddling session, because it's nice to have a sense of validation that things are okay even after a fight no matter how big or small.
Unspoken rule: Can't leave without a goodbye hug/kiss from Haru. It's illegal. Wake her up, she doesn't care.
-
Trying my hand at Fiore and G [stopping at 5 bc this is harder than it seems!]
Any firearms should be properly stored away once inside to prevent anyone else from taking it and firing it. It's mostly a safety thing, especially for if kids are ever involved. Fiore won't risk the safety of children.
If you leave the home, leave a note stating where you'll be and with who if you're meeting someone. This is mostly to ensure that G can find Fiore if she's late. She's probably in trouble (again), or she got lost (again).
Unspoken rule: If working late into the night, the moment you hear crickets, off to bed with you.
At the dinning table, there is no place for work. Fiore really appreciates spending time with someone, like quality time. Eating together is a good time for that, so she disallows any work/business to be done while at the dinning table.
Home is not Daemon friendly, as i'm sure if they started living together it's post-betrayal. I feel like she wouldn't have been told the history behind what happened, so she's just told don't let this guy in for anything. Don't trust him.

I'm still stuck on my deaf Alhaitham x Cyno bullshit (the brainrot is real, I tell ya 😩) and what if.....
Hmmm 🤔
(small addition to this brainfart from two days ago)
What if Cyno is a bit like... he wants to show affection and to openly say some things but he knows that Haitham isn't the type to make a lot of it.
Not saying that he doesn't appreciate it or even worse– he's not ungrateful and he definitely feels the same attraction and connection, mind ya! He just... Alhaitham knows that the General Mahamatra likes him and that he cares bc his actions show it more than he may realize, so he doesn't need any verbal confirmation. He simply knows.
But what if Cyno still sometimes feels the urge to voice his feelings or thoughts but like, mostly picks the worst times for it?
I mean times like, when the Acting Grand Sage is already tired af and his device starts lagging or not working at all.
And look, Cyno might be doing it on purpose at especially these times bc... Well, just bc.
(he's not shy, just considerate enough to not bother Alhaitham with these things. Is what he tells himself at least)
But what Cyno doesn't know or take into account, is that Alhaitham, first of all– knows how to read lips, so he's still able to catch what Cyno might be saying to himself only, whenever he notices it.
And second of all– due to getting more and more used to just blurting stuff out, the General lately has been mumbling things to himself when Alhaitham's headphones were still working sporadically or even fully.
Hence, Alhaitham catching phrases like
"I like the way your brows furrow when you're mulling over a report or one of your books. It makes you look even more handsome."
or
"I wonder if your hair feels as silky and soft as it looks."
or even things that make it hard for Alhaitham not to simply answer or act on them, such as
"What if I kissed you? Would you like it or just not care much?"
But tbh, Haitham probably pretends not to hear it on purpose. He simply lets Cyno think the other doesn't hear it just to indulge himself a little.
And we all know that Haitham also likes to tease, so ofc, he goes over to accidentally answering some of Cyno's secretly asked questions.
Totally unintentionally ofc.
Duh!
So, once again I'm asking– what if... 🤔
What if Alhaitham mentions that he probably looks ridiculous with furrowed brows and that he should avoid doing it, so that Cyno blurts out "It doesn't look ridiculous at all. On the contrary, you look really handsome when you do that." causing an adorable blush to settle high on his cheekbones right after he said it aloud.
And what if Alhaitham ruffles his own hair on purpose, so that it's sticking in all directions and some of the scholars even make fun of it behind his back, so that Cyno has to touch it to help him fix it?
Or... what if Alhaitham creates situations in which they end up super close, face to face, noses merely an inch from each other– just to tempt Cyno and watch with satisfaction as his eyes linger for an endless moment on Alhaitham's lips?
Well, no what if's.
He would.
Alhaitham would do this and he does.
And the General might not catch onto it at the beginning but after some time, he knows that Alhaitham is playing into his hands bc he very much heard or saw what Cyno's said.
And it continues just like that, as friendly banter and teasing, until it becomes a regular thing between them.
Cyno makes Alhaitham compliments, shares his observations about the little things the General notices and likes about the Acting Grand Sage, asks him questions whenever he's curious about something– and Alhaitham simply goes along with it.
He thanks Cyno for the compliments and statements and he answers Cyno's questions– and sometimes, Alhaitham even does so by demonstrating the answers instead of just telling.
But only if nobody's watching 😉

Hmmmmmm
What do you think drew him to Keyleth and Gilmore, respectively?
Well Keyleth we kind of know - Liam has talked about how Vax connected with Keyleth during the Kraghammer arc, and Marisha likewise in turn, how Vax's support then meant a lot to Keyleth. I think Vax found in Keyleth someone who cares just as much and just as intensely as he does, who cares and admits to caring, even if it means it hurts - and I think he knows, given Keyleth's eventual long life and durty as a ruler, that that is going to hurt her. That for her to continue to choose to care and engage in the world, to refuse to harden herself... that takes considerable strength. I think he respects that.
Vax is free to care because he just does that and it's never really occurred to him to do otherwise, I think. He knows that if he needs help he has Vex to support him - it's an interesting and noted sociological phenomenon that twins often end up as the nuclei of schoolyard friendgroups because most twins grow up with the constant presence and support of the other. They have support they can fall back on and that makes it easier for them to reach out and for others to find themselves drawn to their clear confidence and that kind of social security. I think for him to see that willingness to care even if that means being hurt when Keyleth doesn't have that same implicit support - even in her most siblinglike friendship, with Percy, it's a very different thing to the twins' implicit trust and support of each other - ... yeah I think it impressed him.
And like... we know that part of what draws Vax to Keyleth is the fact she can turn into badass animals and wreck shop. All the boys of Vox Machina like a strong, badass woman, it's just that Keyleth's badassitude is hidden by her very gentle, kindly exterior. Pike can be rude and sweary, Vex we know is strong, Keyleth... is consistently gentle and at times almost naive. Sheltered.
But she is still strong, emotionally and physically both. She can turn into a wide variety of things and does so easily, readily, be that to help them or just for comfort. Keyleth may not be easy in her fate to rule but she is easy with her powers - that's what got her picked to succeed her mother, her innate knack for it. To her, that magic comes easily, and I think that easy confidence is what drew Vax to her.
As for Gilmore I mean...
Gilmore is very obviously confident in himself and his abilities. He's handsome and charismatic and ready to flirt. I think Vax really likes confidence, likes interesting people, likes the fact that Gilmore met him and all of Vox Machina and was ready to support them, that he's been so friendly. I think Vax is drawn to confident people and kind people, and when people are both... yeah, he gets very into it.
I also have a feeling, just due to how Gilmore interacts with Vax, more often the one to initiate or nudge things in certain directions while Vax is a bit more quiet about it, even as the group gets very obvious, I have a feeling that Gilmore may have initiated their flirtation. I can't know for sure because that's all pre-stream and because Gilmore's an NPC and it's earlier on in the Campaign before RP became such a big part of it the interactions there are a bit more glossed over than with Keyleth but... yeah, Gilmore's the more flirtatious one of the two, the one more obvious in his displays of affection and what Vax means to him - teleporting back from Westruun, for example. And...
I think Vax likes being wanted. After Syngorn and Syldor, having someone outright, overtly go "I like you, I enjoy your company, I find you appealing" - I think that means a lot to him.
I think that may also be part of why he made himself available to Keyleth by being supportive of her during the Kraghammer Arc and as Percy went darker during the Briarwood Arc, to give her those feelings in turn, letting her know she's liked, wanted, appreciated.
At the end of the day, Vax likes being wanted and appreciated, and likes letting people he cares about feel the same... and he really likes people who are confident in themselves and their abilities.

Unit Teambuilding - Koga
The new EX for the month is, for some reason, Koga. I want to complain. I want to say this is sad to me in a month that has been unparalleled in its disappointment. But let's be honest, Poison desperately needed the win.
General Overview Koga is, earnestly, a pretty solid F2P sync pair. As far as Poison goes, he's practically exceptional. Decent if awkward self-setup that plays directly into a 100% multiplier, Poison Fang into Venoshock for DPS, Mind Games 9 on Venoshock for debuffing, and he's even fairly tanky and has evasion for a Tech pair. Koga can do quite a bit, and with a potent sync nuke, he's a reasonable approach to clearing stages.
Or, well, he should be. See, Koga's tools are good, but also littered with limitations. Single-target debuffs aren't great for fast-paced 3v3 games, and never really were. Evasion doesn't really help against sync nukes. 50% to land Toxic, which he outright requires to deal damage, is too inconsistent, and a major source of frustration in Gauntlet stages given they keep shrugging it off. His DPS is poor, and while sync is much improved, it's...never quite impressed me. Koga's one of those sync nukers who really just wants to get to sync, and the time in between is kind of a nightmare for him.
But I think on balance, he still comes out as a very strong common. Few of these criticisms don't also plague the rest of the F2P pool, and most have it worse than he does.
EX and investment? The question remaining, however, is whether the EX is worth it. I'd say getting to 5* and 3/5 definitely is, Poison is hard to shop for and he's the best non-limited you're likely to find (sorry, Looker). But it's a harder sell on EX. You would think it's an easy yes, Tech gets such a boost from it. But the question of being worth it has to come from whether he's picking up KOs he otherwise misses out on. And I don't think that's been his issue. At least, not for me. Usually if he misses KO, it's by a lot, in something like Gauntlet, or against center in CS. And often it's because the Poison didn't land. I think he's an okay addition, but similarly to Clair, I feel like lacking the EX wasn't his problem. Dude just needs Hostile Environment.
Team 1: Koga, BP Janine, H!Iris/Oleana/Drasna BP Janine and Koga were designed to be used together. Double Crobat offers Koga exactly the buffs he needs without relying on MPR for max crit and evasion. Janine offering special attack on the same button as evasion is even better. H!Iris is a great pick, thanks to Poison Zone, debuffs from Acid, and most importantly, Hyper Beam. Koga's nuke is great, but he lacks for DPS, something that Iris covers very well. The fact that she also needs Janine's exact buffing kit makes this team particularly effective. But let us also not mince words: Janine is frail. She does not take hits, and relies painfully on dodge. Oleana is an alternative to Iris. She doesn't debuff special defense, but her DPS is actually stronger, and the lack of Zone means turning off Offenses +5 for No Field Effects. Combined with the debuff to offenses and sure-Toxic on her Max Move, she's a very good fit for the team. Though she does come with the issue of needing both physical and special damage reduction off. As a final consideration if you're looking for something more F2P friendly, Drasna in the general pool has fantastic on-type damage through Sludge Bomb, and receives all the same benefits from Janine.
Team 2: Koga, BP Clemont, Viola Koga is also useful in Stall comps, thanks to Toxic, and the high evade chance. Complemented with BP Clemont's defense buffs and Synchro Healing, as well as Viola's trap and special attack debuffs, they're a good core against specially-focused stages. Lodge Lillie can be used over Viola if you need physical.
Final Thoughts Koga's never really stood out to me, and it has more to do with his lack of supportive effects than anything. Mind Games 9 is cute, but single-target often doesn't amount to much. Toxic is sometimes nice, but it's the worst status for Gauntlet, single-target in CS, and only a 50/50 per hit. Koga feels like he exists entirely for damage, and felt fairly clunky at it to begin with. But a strong nuke in a rare type still counts for something. And who knows, maybe one day we'll get a Sprint pair that really works for him.

Relevant stats: ESFJ 6w7 so/sp? (or sp/so.) 21 year old girl in school.
I submitted an ask recently touching on thoughtfulness of how I socialize. I came to the conclusion to resolve to spend most of my recurring time with people I love/find relaxing and satisfying to be around, and not just people with which I feel comfortable passing the time (because too much of the latter tends to exhaust me.) I have a three people who check in with me weekly, and I've agreed to hang out with them all those times. For a long time I've identified as someone who says "yes" to everything as long as I'm not busy, because everyone is equally deserving of company and I know what it's like to be lonely. But I've actually gotten to a point where general "casual" hangouts are draining my emotional enjoyment with my best friends/significant other (which I thought was impossible. My social capacity has felt infinite until winter quarter + dating + grad school applications, but go figure.)
If I just start saying I'm busy that week and then don't reach out/agree to hang out in the future beyond once every few months to catch up, will that be rude? It doesn't feel rude if it's just because I have lots of work (which is true,) but it does to pick people I like more over them. I do enjoy spending time with these people, but only when there's been lots of time between. I wouldn't mind if I was the one reaching out, but it feels crappy to refuse people repeatedly. They didn't do anything wrong.
Be honest with them and tell them that school is kicking your butt and making you tired, so you can't spend as much time with them anymore. Either they will understand or they will find other friends with more energy to interact with them (and if that happens, do not feel bad about it -- you need to do what's right for you, and they do too). People like some people more than others; it's not wrong or bad. It's how society works. It doesn't imply you are judgmental or a jerk. Everyone picks their friends (even if they think they got "stuck" with them). Some people are more fun than others, more into what you love, more considerate, or more energizing for you. Spend the most time with those people and reduce time spent with those that exhaust you. The exhaustion usually indicates something is "off" and/or non-compatibility when you are an extrovert, so you may want to think about just what it is that happens to you mentally when you are around certain people. Are they too loud? too energetic? too negative? Do you have to guard your boundaries? Avoid talking about certain things so they don't get mad? Walk on eggshells?
Or do you just not like them much? If so, it's not a sin.
(I also wonder if part of my "exhaustedness" comes from that these casual hangouts are all with guys who I suspect might be interested in me if I was available. For some reason navigating that feels more tiring than just navigating lukewarm social things. I don't know why. I'm not leading them on by just agreeing to hang out with them, I hope? Is that how cross-gender friendships work? How can I catch up more with friends who aren't maybe interested in me? Also, my significant other isn't going to mind me hanging out with people who are interested in me either way.)
You are probably micro-managing yourself to avoid giving the wrong impression, to avoid flirting, to avoid being too friendly or sharing what would be "inappropriate," and that's tiring for you. 6s are extremely guarded around people they see as a potential threat and/or tend to read too much into social interactions (is he hitting on me? doesn't he know I'm with someone else??? what do I do now??). If it makes you uncomfortable to hang out with single guys -- don't. And don't feel bad about it. You're under no obligation to stay friends with them or give time to them, especially when you enjoy being with your significant other more.
Take to heart what Marie Kondo said: keep what sparks your joy.

was that xuan lu? oh no no, that was just kyoshi, a canon character from avatar: the last airbender. they are twenty eight years old, use she/they, and are aware that they are not actually from washington dc. too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.
how long has your character been here
two months
what is your character’s job
she's a martial arts instructor. she teaches a few different classes and levels but specifically has one for femme and nb muses more focused on self defense that she cares about a lot
where has your character been pulled from in their fandom
from the end of the rise of kyoshi book. i haven't read the second one yet, and please be gentle with me on canon on this one. i will be rereading it soonish, but it's been a little while since i first read it so my memory may not be perfect
has any magic affected your character
nope!
more info:
i played avatar kyoshi like a year or so ago and am def excited to bring her back
our at least six feet tall queen
for those who don't know she was the avatar two avatars before aang. kyoshi's dad was an earth bender and her mom was an air nomad
she wasn't immediately recognized as the avatar. though she took the test it included picking toys. kyoshi was raised as an orphan on the street, and really didn't trust the test and wound up running away
as a result her friend yun was declared avatar
slight spoilers: when the truth was realized avatar kyoshi pulled a whole mountain out of the ocean her friend yun was sacrificed and her mentor was killed by yun's earth bending instructor
a bunch more happens in the book including kyoshi joining a crime gang and body slamming her way through a wall, but it ends in kyoshi heading to the air temples to officially declare herself as avatar finally
so that's up to where she remembers
personality wise kyoshi is admittedly pretty awkward. she's empathetic and considerate, but has a hard time reading people and handling tense situations. even though kyoshi is known as a more aggressive avatar it's mostly because she just can't handle tough situations through personality! it never works for her so she brute forces her way through things!
she's got a strong sense of justice and is very level-headed and will do what needs to be done even if she's not happy about it.
they're also not super forthcoming and friendly and loving unless it's with people kyoshi is close with. they don't want people to read kindness as weakness, so she's careful with how much she shows it
stupidly powerful, though kyoshi struggles in more light delicate bending, she can split the earth in half and raise mountains so
if they're convinced they're in the right kyoshi will use bending to get her way
might know how to be immortal it's not really confirmed or denied but she does sort of know how to use earthbending to mend her bones and body and does canonically go on to live until 230 so take that as you will
she's difficult but means well
plots
anyone who takes her classes, be it regular martial arts or her self defense class
also a gym/sparring buddy in general though you have to be ready to be knocked around and also constantly remind her to actually show up. as much as they know it's important kyoshi can get a little lazy with their training
perhaps a roommate just understand kyoshi is a neat freak. that or any neighbors
some casual dates. maybe potentially a long term sip though that would take more plotting. kyoshi is canonically bisexual
someone she butts heads with. kyoshi is stubborn, so this doesn't even have to be about anything big or could be someone more in a position of power than her because kyoshi straight up does not give a shit about people's positions of authority.
give her some criminals to hang out with. they spent the whole first book with a gang it would be fun for kyoshi to do it some more. she does consider justice important, but her moral lines are more like hurting innocent people not the actual law.
any sorts of friendships. kyoshi is actually kidna soft and easy to bully if she actually likes you, you just have to get to that point first.

What would happen if one of the sinclair brothers made a move on one of the sibling s/o?? If that makes any sense, I'm so sorry if I doesn't, but what would happen then, of like bo made a move on Vincent's s/o??
Let’s be real, Bo is the only one of them that would hit on his brother’s s/o 😂
The Sinclair Brothers reacting to another brother making a move on their S/O:
Bo Sinclair
You started dating Bo after settling down in Ambrose and none of the brothers were very surprised. Bo had always been the more attractive, more charismatic brother and he was always flirting with you. Vincent and Lester just knew it was a matter of time before the two of you got together, and eventually you did.
But that didn’t mean that another brother wasn’t interested in you, Lester had feelings for you pretty much since he first met you.
Ever since you started staying in Ambrose, Lester had been friendly and tried to make you comfortable but pretty much gave up all hope in you seeing something in him when Bo started flirting with you. You would pick his brother, he knew it, so he never told you about his feelings.
Lester gets what you see in his brother and what you wouldn’t see in him, but he just knew that he could treat you better. If you were with him, you would never have to worry about the type of mood he was in, he would never snap at you, never ignore you. 
He just wished that you could see that you deserved better than what Bo offered you, and he hoped that you would see that he would treat you right.
Bo knows. Bo is well aware of Lester’s feelings for you, even before you were dating. But when Bo wants something, he gets it, and he wanted you.
He also knows what Lester thinks of your relationship, he sees the look on his brother’s face when he snaps at you or acts cold towards you. But Lester doesn’t see the better moments, because Bo does genuinely care for you even if he doesn’t always let himself show it.
It frustrates Bo that Lester questions your relationship, that he thinks you would be better with him, even if Lester never actually said any of that to him. He just knew from the way his younger brother looked at you and it pissed him off.
Now, Lester wouldn’t actually make a move on you if you were dating one of his brothers but he might express some concerns if you’re his friend and you’re dating Bo. Just asking if you’re alright, if you’re happy. 
He wouldn’t actually want to put you in the situation of having your boyfriend’s brother making a move on you. But he couldn’t say that if you made a move on him, he would turn you down, because he probably wouldn’t.
Since Bo knows about his brother’s feelings and his concerns piss him off, he’s going to retaliate. He’ll rub your relationship in Lester’s face, being extra close to you when his brother his around.
Not really being more affectionate, but he always has an arm around you or a hand on you, smacking/grabbing your ass, having you sit on his lap, anything to bother his brother.
Bo doesn’t really fear losing you to Lester but he’s going to make damn sure that never happens. And he’s going to make damn sure that Lester remembers that you’re his.
Vincent Sinclair
You had just taken to Vincent more than the other brothers as you got used to life in Ambrose, Lester wasn’t always around and Bo is much more difficult to deal with. You just enjoyed your time with Vincent and ended up falling for him.
Now the two of you were in a loving relationship, and you truly loved each other more than anything.
Of course, it was never quite that simple. Bo had been a flirt since the beginning but you never even humoured him, you were more interested in his twin.
After you and Vincent started dating, Bo would continue with the flirting but you weren’t all that surprised by that.
While Bo might have a soft spot for you, with you being family and all, he doesn’t have the same feelings for you that Vincent has.
And Bo knows that. 
In the end Bo is just a sore loser about you choosing Vincent over him when he had been so forward about his intentions.
Bo still flirted with you pretty often, sometimes it’s just a passing comment and other times it’s like he’s actually attempting to seduce you.
Vincent doesn’t like it at all, it always makes him uncomfortable and insecure. Even he had been sure that you would choose Bo over him before you actually got together.
You had gotten used to the flirting but hated how it made Vincent feel, shouldn’t Bo be more considerate about his twin’s feelings?
Vincent doesn’t really say anything to Bo (or even to you) but he does go quiet, clearly upset by his brother’s behaviour, and you notice.
But that usually results in you following him to his workroom, where you will reassure him that you’re only interested in him and Bo is just being a jerk about the whole thing.
Vincent knows that you’re not interested in Bo and that Bo doesn’t actually have any feelings for you so nothing would ever come from the flirting, but he can’t help letting his insecurities bother him.
However, if Bo actually touched you and made you uncomfortable, Vincent would absolutely step in. That’s going too far, you had rejected him and even if you weren’t dating him, Bo shouldn’t get so close or touchy when you’re clearly uncomfortable.
Bo is actually a little proud of his brother for standing up for both you and himself.
Lester Sinclair 
After deciding to let you live, Bo thought it would be best that you stay with Lester. The two of you just grew close living together, he was friendly and welcoming considering the circumstances, until you eventually started dating.
You would take frequent trips into Ambrose and out of the twins, you were definitely closer to Vincent. Bo wasn’t very kind to you but Vincent was, and the longer you knew him the better friends you became.
Over that time, Vincent had actually developed a crush on you.
Lester and you didn’t really notice it because he wasn’t too obvious about it, you were just his friend and that’s how you both saw it. But Bo notices, because he gets to see the way his head perks up when he finds out that you’re coming to visit, and teases his twin about it quite a lot. 
There was only one time that Lester got a little jealous at seeing you and Vincent together.
Vincent would never make a move on one of his brother’s s/o but he enjoys spending time with you as a friend, he will take what he can get.
This time you and Vincent must have just been getting a long a little too well and Bo made a comment to Lester about the two of you just to wind him up.
Lester would sulk at most, he wouldn’t get mad at either of you or cause any argument.
When you question him on his change in behaviour, he will be honest, saying that he got a little jealous of you and Vincent spending so much time together.
But it’s pretty easy to reassure him, he doesn’t think you’re going to cheat on him or anything. He trusts both you and Vincent in that.
Even if he found out that Vincent actually had a crush on you, he probably wouldn’t worry too much but he would become more aware of the looks that his brother gives you.

gerard pitts in a relationship headcanons !
warnings: none !
Tumblr media
pitts is the most considerate and caring boyfriend you could ask for.
it goes without saying that this man gives incredible hugs. due to his height, he can easily wrap you up and engulf you in his arms, and will often sway you from side to side whilst he rests his chin on your head. he loves hugs, and will hug you at any opportunity.
also likes picking you up. this boy is tall okay.
constantly giving you random gifts just cause they reminded him of you. they don't have to be extravagant, sometimes it's just a pretty flower or a nice rock he saw on a walk once, but you always accept them gratefully because he's so excited to give them to you
his favourite season is summer; the minute the sun comes out he's taking you on beach dates, picnics, long walks, anything that involves being outside.
you name it and he wants to do it.
he gets very excited very quickly, and loves just talking to you whilst holding your hand and tracing shapes on your palms.
this goes both ways; he's more than happy to listen to you talk about anything you're passionate about, even if he doesn't quite understand it. the look on your face is worth it.
he's very clumsy, so you often find yourself reminding him to duck his head or watch his step - without you he'd probably trip over anything in sight
since he and meeks made their radio, he'll often borrow it and take you down to the lake. you'll both listen to the music and dance stupidly, enjoying how comfortable you can be in each other's presence and how you can be yourself.
pitts would constantly remind you of how much he loves you and that you can always talk to him if you need to.
he gets upset when you're upset but tries not to show it; he can't help it, but seeing the person he cares for so much being sad whilst he can't do a lot makes him sad.
he picks up on your little quirks and habits, even the little things you think no one notices. he adds them to the list of things he loves about you and cant prevent the small smile that rises to his face every time he notices you doing one of them.
loves peppering small kisses all over your face. (this is true because i said so).
he's just a friendly giant full of so much love for you.
YES this is very much overdue and for that i am very sorry; me n writing are kinda frenemies rn it seems >:( but im back and the same as ever! i adore pitts so i had to do this,, we need more pittsie content
you can find the other poets here: todd neil knox meeks charlie cameron

hi!! what you said about george being polite in his ad really made me wanna elaborate bc he just is so polite, isn't he? i feel like he's an enigma of a person and it takes a while of watching him to figure him out but one of the first things i noticed about him was how polite he is and it just stuck with me. when he's on streams of people he's not extremely close with like the chess tournament or even wilbur's geoguessr stream he's always more calm and behaves as appropriately as possible, no matter how much his friends egg him on. he thanks them and says goodbye to them at the end the same way he does to his audience when he gets subs or ends stream, like five times in a row bc he might not be good with words but repeating them is enough to show how much he means them. he turns off donos when he can't thank them & always answers the ones he can see in the nicest way possible no matter how weird they are, it shows when he's playing among us with people he doesn't know super well and when he listens to chat for every tiny thing. not that any of his friends are doing anything wrong but a lot of them often get mad at chat (rightfully so) and take over places with their loud personalities and are very direct even with people they don't know well and george always comes off as extremely polite and it's sweet!
my point is just that george has very good manners and i hope you don't mind my ramble about it :))
!!
i’m so sorry i’m replying to this so late but i wanted to give you a proper answer because your ask is truly lovely, my comment in the tags was offhand but oh my god yes yes yes and i’ve thought abt his kindness a lot
you’re completely right that he is so polite + nice to anyone he meets, he sticks around in calls to talk to others and gets along with them no matter how long he’s known them and i’ve missed mcc lately exactly for this reason, the conversations he’s had post-tournament have been some of my favourite parts of the streams because he’s just such a friendly guy? and there’s something genuinely lovely abt seeing him linger in a call filled with other people some of which he’s met for the first time, enjoying their presence and just earnestly having a good time...even if he gets a little quieter without his friends or people he properly knows he’ll still laugh!! and contribute, he’ll still offer up his time and presence and be sociable and that’s so likeable of him
i couldn’t agree more that he’s the sweetestt to his audience i think ppl don’t pick up on, or more like it’s not a thing to mention how kind george is to his fans because as usual he isn’t particularly loud abt it but it’s in the many little accommodating things he does, exactly like you mentioned w the donos and how gentle he is when answering and caring about fan input so much and also not to mention how he writes down ppls names to check their art/dms and genuinely does check
and not to sound repetitive at this point but he really is especially kind and considerate w us, i totally get what you mean abt streamers snapping at their audience and hey i’m not gonna act like they’re not in the right sometimes but i’ve actually talked to someone about this before and as much as i understand putting viewers in their place i think when dealing with a younger audience a certain amount of care is needed there? and george, i’m sure being aware of his age demographic has never been overly harsh w us and he mostly takes things in stride, addressing stuff if he has to w the utmost patience, maturity and understanding and it’s something i really do admire
george is very good-mannered and just a lovely kind soul all round and i really loved reading what you had to say so thank you for your thoughts so much! <3

SPOILERS AHEAD: MY OVERALL THOUGHTS AND THEORIES ON ARIAN AND GRIFFITH'S RELATIONSHIP
03/29/22: this is all over the place lol I apologize, I'll edit this later to make it "flow easier" so to speak, but this is my theories and thoughts on Griffith and Arian's relationship in general; when I have the time and proper amount of research/evidence gathered for each theory/observation, I will make more threads. But take this as an overall thought dumpster ❤
I will FOREVER keep my opinion that Griffith and Arian wouldn't put so much effort into saving each other, which is literally THE OPPOSITE of what's in their best interests, FOR NO REASON.
- Why?? When it would be good for him if she died so Balor would be his/Balor would be safe from her?
- It would be good for her if he died so that he doesn't take her back to her #1 enemy (his boss)?
YET THEY SAVE EACH OTHER, EACH CHANCE THEY GET, WITHOUT EVEN BEING PROMPTED TO BY "OBLIGATION".
He literally keeps saying "I'll take her back with me to my lord" YEAH RIGHT, MF. You spent HOW MANY DAYS traveling with her, hanging out with her, SAVING her, when it's been established that combat- and physical strength-wise you outclass her?? You could've literally just tied her up and plopped her on your horse while riding off back to your clan, but YOU DIDN'T.
As for her, she's even questioned "her own heart" and why she wanted him to run, to not get caught and potentially executed??
Tumblr media
This is a spoiler for a later volume, but: when they were swimming towards the big tree, he saw that she was going to drown and instinctively swam towards her (they were literally racing each other to get to the tree first).
Perhaps, canonically, the only guy she seems to have a crush on is Legion. She's shown jealousy in regards to him. At least 4 guys (Balor, Ilan, Gils, and Effidel) have shown romantic interest in her, but she either hates them (Balor) or is at most friendly with them (the other 3).... at first it seems she has eyes only for Legion. EXCEPT this girl has shown jealousy for Griffith when Gisela kept flirting with him (I highly suspect that when she had that nightmare after Gisela had tried seducing Griffith right in front of her, her emotions were so strong that it triggered all those flowers magically bursting into the room).
Those flowers also showed up when she tried concentrating so hard on saving his life as he was near death.
I'm possibly going to do a thread later on on what those roses might mean for the story/ for her once I get more info, but the two times I've seen them happened when: 1) Griffith was in the situation, 2) she was feeling strong emotions.
ALSO, they are the only ones to have seen the other naked multiple times: 1) when she saved him from that snowstorm, 2) they bathed in that sauna together. She is the only girl with which he seems to spend a lot of one- on- one time with, and vice versa with him.
Now, for what I think are the things that made them sympathetic with each other:
For Arian:
- His integrity and honor; Griffith is a man of his word, and despite coming from a clan like his, he's chivalrous, considerate, and polite. She's seen that when he makes a promise, he follows through. I think that Arian thinks deep down, he is a good person and wants him to change sides, although she would never force him to.
- She sees that even though he's made his goals clear, he actually doesn't force her to change her own personal goals or wants (despite them coming into direct conflict with his own). Let me clarify: with Balor, Ilan and Effidel, all three wanted her to drop her own goals to stay with them, be their woman. But with Griffith, although I wouldn't say he actively supports her goals (duh), he doesn't force her to try to change her mind on them. Not once has he forced her to do anything, but instead, grumpily goes along with her. It even seems he accommodates her sometimes. It's this quiet consideration he has for her own personhood that she subconsciously picks up on and appreciates.
- Even though she's tried kinda flirting with him and he gave her a dry-ass response (he's not the flirting type), she has recognized him as a handsome individual (when she was disguised as a Roman noble woman, she told him that "thy brooding face is charming".... in Latin.... which he can't understand... so why even mention it if he doesn't understand what she's saying? To establish the fact she finds him attractive).
- Would also like to point out that when Effidel casually says that "[Griffith] most likely died somewhere" after they haven't seen him for a couple of days, Arian quickly shuts him down with "Griffith isn't that weak", implying that she acknowledges and admires his strength.
For Griffith:
- From his time traveling with her, he's seen her kind and caring heart, that she's selfless. The first time he's ever saved her was when she was with the Iceni tribe. He saw how she took care of a Roman child and how she risked her life fighting alongside a tribe she literally didn't need to fight for (she's just a guest). She's told him to run for his own safety in fear he might get killed after he accidentally killed Effidel's mother. She dragged him out of a snowstorm and used her own body heat to warm him up before he froze to death. When he's near death from his wounds in volume 20, he hears her voice and calls out to her, trusting in her enough that she would save him.
- Her lively, cheerful personality brings out more emotions from him. When we're introduced to his character in Ch. 2, he has, like, ONE expression for the most part (which he's like that for most of the series), but it is only when he starts his mission of taking her back with him, does he show a lot more emotions and facial expressions. This is my brainrot speaking, but it seems that she is the influence that brings out more of his expressive side. I don't have the volume yet, but when she was a gladiator in Rome, and he got to meet up with Balor, Balor asked him to return to the clan (meaning, Griffith's excuse of being told to do so was now gone). But Griffith refused. Balor then asked him if he was having fun doing this, to which Griffith blushes. One look at Griffith in general and the word "fun" wouldn't be associated with him.
- Even though he hasn't said anything in regards to her beauty (which many other characters have noted on multiple occasions, so it's fair to say that in this series, she's widely regarded as attractive/beautiful), he HAS stroke her back when noting her physique (not in a sexual way, though he was just trying to push her, who was asleep, away from him, but thought that when he felt her back). There was also that panel when she revived/healed him, and because she was naked, he gave her his tunic and turned away, with the paneling focusing on just the back of his head after she thanked him (with that typical shojo background that usually depicts ~feelings being felt~)
So, I think, one common thing is that they treat/communicate/see each other as equals: Griffith is either a servant, an enemy, or a loner handyman to other characters, while Arian is a woman, a druidess, or a "changeling"....we still don't have enough backstory on Griffith's past, but we don't see him having any family members in his clan, he's the only (or one of the few) redheads, and his clan members don't really speak to him on an equal level... I'm guessing he was sort of an outcast as a child, and found purpose in serving Balor and made that his mission in life, worked his way up in the clan hierarchy and that's why he is respected by isolated there. Likewise with Arian; she was labeled as a changeling due to her black hair, shunned by her clan. As she grew up beautifully, she was either an object of desire or respected from a distance as a trainee druidess. From my theory on Griffith's childhood and Arian's canonically, they were both outcasts who grew into a position where people respected their status/rank/title, but not really get to know and befriend them as their own persons.
Tumblr media
Back to when he was given the option by Balor to return with him (and he wouldn't have to put in the travel time since Balor was literally right there and had his evil unicorn/Pegasus thing that could fly them right back to the clan); since I don't own the volume where this happens (and even if I did, I would've had to rely on rudimentary JP to English translation) I can only speculate the reasons as to why he would refuse his chieftain (whom, by the way, he has NEVER refused and has always strived to grant his requests):
1) He made a promise to himself that he would see this mission through: being a man who keeps his word, he probably feels some sort of personal obligation to finish this mission as a sort of test for himself. Given that this is a very taxing mission (multiple risks along the way, almost died several times, far from home, has taken months or years since he started, etc) and his chief literally giving him a ticket and excuse back home, when his character has stated loyalty to his home multiple times, this seems unlikely.
2) He enjoys the journey in and of itself: again, this man has had SEVERAL death scares over the course of this mission, and is nowhere near the comfort of his home. He also doesn't seem like the type to take a vacation "just cause".
3) He enjoys and likes being in Arian's company: this one is the most likely to me (because of both my brainrot AND from all the previous points I've made). This sole mission is centered around her, she is the reason for this mission. Yes, it started out as a direct order from his chieftain, but when given the chance to return he refused and even blushed when asked if he was having fun. Balor noticed a change in him, a change that Griffith himself did not seem to notice. The people he met during his travels couldn't have been the reason for this (or at least, a huge influence) as he doesn't spend a great deal of time with anyone, besides Arian who he is consistently exposed to. We even see in volume 22/23 that they casually walk around a town together, eating bread, talking as if they were friends in the first place.
Now, this is just from what I've gathered from volumes 1-11 and 20-30 (12-19 I've only seen bits and pieces of and scoured through numerous JP reviews and blogs about).
But imo this is substantial evidence that would lead one to the conclusion of them being an actual ship. THE TIME SPENT, THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN THEM, THE CONCERN FOR EACH OTHER'S SAFETY, MUTUALLY TRUSTING AND LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER.

𑁍 aaah congratulations on 600 followers~ you've come a long way! could i participate in your "blid date" event too, please? i'd like a male match and don't mind knowing other possible results!
my mbti is infj and i am a virgo. i'm quiet but friendly, sometimes even described as "too nice" due to my love for helping others. then again, i tend to be subconsciously picky with the people i actually want to get to know and keep my distance from rest (while still getting along). i try my best to be positive and hard-working and enjoy the little things in life!
for dates i love either staying in and having a comfy anime/movie marathonvwith home-made snacks, or going to some place with many activities (like an amusement park, hikes in forests, karaoke or shopping malls). places with pretty sceneries are also romantic for me, so stargazing walks along a beach during sunset/sunrise are lovely ♡︎
i value loyalty, sincerety and comfortable silence in relationships. someone who's patient, doesn't mind my bad jokes and knows when it's time for a change of pace is probably the best for me. i don't mind an extrovert as long as they're considerate!
for first dates i wouldn't kiss straight on the lips, but one on the cheek or forehead is cute. hand-holding is fine as well! i'd rather focus on getting to know the person before going to anything mire romantic.
that's all, thank you so much for taking time to read this! i hope you have a lovely day and stay safe ♡︎
A/N: Of course you can! And thank you so much for the congratulations <3 I thought about a lot of possible ones for you honestly, but I hope you enjoyed what I came up with. This was my first time writing Chongyun so...bear with me? Also wishing you a wonderful day, and to stay safe :D
For the sake of it, he does not have congenital positivity (did I spell it right?) in this scenario.
But without further ado, you're going with...
Chongyun!
Tumblr media
My reasons!
For the most part, you and him are quite similar. I believe he would value how hard working and positive you are and would gladly enjoy small things with you (he is also quite the hard worker after all). Chongyun is not a grand person after all, quite the opposite in fact, I think he is quite humble. He likes and appreciates that you are nice and love to help because he too wants to help people by keeping them away from evil spirits (I feel like he'll also help any average person in need). For significant others I think Chongyun would be flexible to match with but someone on the quieter, calmer side would help him maintain his cool demeanor (literally!) a little easier. And lastly, I just think he checks all the boxes: loyal, sincere, patient, doesn't mind comfortable silence. Being around Xingqiu, he doesn't mind your jokes and is able to find humour in it even if you consider them bad. My other choice for you included Zhongli, however, one thing stopped me from doing so and that is the fact that he probably wouldn't be as good as handling your jokes and that he would lack the "would know when it's time for a change of pace." So yes, I feel that the popsicle would be a better match :)
The First Date:
As you approached the movie theatre, you spot him, and involuntarily started muffling a giggle.
Gosh you almost felt bad for taking an extra five minutes, Chongyun just looked so awkward just standing there
To relieve him of his troubles, you waved frantically to get his attention. Immediately, his eyes lit up and he waved tentatively waved back.
"I'm so sorry! Did I take too long?" You were slightly out of breath after getting to him as fast as you could.
"N-not at all," Chongyun assured, smiling softly enough to melt your heart. "Shall we?"
After buying the tickets to a horror movie that you knew he liked, ignoring his 'are you sure Y/N? We can watch something else-', you bought a bucket of popcorn to share and he chose qingxin iced tea for the drinks.
Truthfully, you were indifferent towards this genre. But knowing that Chongyun liked this kind of stuff, you wanted to show him that you were observant and thoughtful enough to pick these kinds of things up.
You settle into the theatre seats and the movie begins. During the first half, it was a little hard to concentrate, what with your hand brushing against his every time you reach into the popcorn.
Every time, Chongyun would retract his hand as if he touched hot iron, clearing his throat a little or drinking the iced tea.
How cute, he's so shy! You thought, trying to contain a smile.
Soon though, the 'distractions' ended, and you ended up actually watching the movie.
Oh boy...was that a mistake
It was way scarier than you thought, but you didn't want to overreact for fear that Chongyun would notice and leave for your sake (not when he looked so into it!)
You gripped the armrest, but maybe you held onto it too hard or you let your fear show too much because he suddenly looked very concerned.
"Y/N..."
And then you heard a jumpscare happen, but your vision was dark.
He covered your eyes for you
"Y-yeah?"
The lights come on (what a relief) and you see the concern look he had on your face.
"You should have told me it was too much, we could have left."
"That's exactly what I didn't want," you mumbled.
"Yes?"
"Ah! I meant, it wasn't too bad for the most part...just the ending. And you looked so interested I didn't want to interrupt."
You fiddled with your clothes, not regretting what you did but guilty because he looked as if he was disappointed you didn't tell him you were scared.
"Hey, don't worry about it alright? Why don't we get some ice cream next? It's a little hot out," you laugh nervously, trying to cheer him up.
Chongyun looked up at you through his lashes (omghislashes), gave you a small smile and nodded.
"I'll make it up to you I promise! This place has the best flavours," you led him by the arm to a brightly lit shop.
As you enter, you breathed in the lightly sweet air and excitedly brought him to the glass case containing colorful containers.
After you got your favourite combinations (you laughing at Chongyun because of the expression he had on his face when he saw Jueyun Chili ice cream exists), you sat down by the window to people watch.
"You got a little something," he pointed to his cheek.
"Hm?" you rubbed at the area you thought he was referring but didn't find anything.
"It's more to the ah- left, hold on," he reached over to rub at the spot of dessert stuck to your face.
At such a simple touch, you felt your stomach exploding with butterflies, hand immediately flying to the spot his fingers just left. He looked at you, dazed, as if not believing himself for just doing that.
Well let's just say there was a lot of spluttering after that.
Looking out, the sun was starting to set, so Chongyun offered to head back before it started getting dark.
He insisted to walk you home, the both of you draped in a calm silence. You both enjoyed the evening air in each other's presences, and you were glad that he didn't make you feel as if you needed to talk to connect. You decide that it was a nice feeling, and he was a very nice person to spend time with.
"We're here," you announced once you reached the building. "Thank you for today Chongyun, I had a lot of fun!"
"Likewise," he scratched at his neck,"I had a great time-"
You had kissed him on the cheek as an impulse. "Goodbye! Give me a call when you reach home!"
And off you went, running inside to leave the poor boy spotaneously combusting on the street.
