b.ecause of you —

-> notes : am I really writing a genshin impact fanfiction knowing only atoms of lore because i desperately need more yaksha content ? yeah. don't judge me.

-> characters : indarias [ pyro yaksha ] , bonanus [ hydro yaksha ] , menogias [ geo yaksha ] , bosacius [ electro yaksha ] , xiao , gn!reader

-> disclaimers : i don't know jack about the lore. unproofreaded. the four yaksha's personalities are all my depictions. xiao is probably extremely out of character.

-> synopsis : no one knows how the four yakshas had suddenly crawled out of their graves, not even them ! it just happened, so it happened. now, the yakshas are more focused on reuniting with their beloved alatus. however, they would not mind meeting you either.

vigilant yaksha, xiao, conqueror of demons — alatus went by many names, of which he accepted as part of himself gracefully.

however, he wasn't ready for the names you had bestowed upon him- sweetheart, darling, dear, beloved. he knew he was in for a lot of surprises, having entered a relationship with a mortal and all - but still ! everytime you called him terms of endearments, he'd blink, blink, blink for like, another ten times- and then he'd just be visibly blushing while brushing it off. internally , he was melting.

archons, was he weak for you.

when he overdid it, when his karmic debt was too much, when he laid in sorrow because of his fallen comrades- no, his family. you were there, to press your forehead against his, to kiss his tears (that he likely did not know were tears) away, to just be there for him. because of that, was he weak for you.

of course, with how close you two are- lovers, and all, comes stories of what xiao's past was like. stories of the cataclysm, the amount of slaughter, the amount of suffering he and his family went through-

his family.

he told you stories about his family the most.

xiao didn't know how this was possible.

indarias , bonanus , bosacius , menogias , you know of them all. though they've long since passed, you knew if they were to still be fighting along xiao, or - alatus, you'd love them like family.

how could it have been that out of nowhere, his dearest brothers and sisters had suddenly all come back to life and now stood infront of him with the brightest grins on their faces?

impossible. undeniably impossible.

yet here he was, shock reasonably etched into his face. not even a moment passed as tears ran down that same face as he remained unmoving.

admittedly, even his family was surprised- consumed by utter happiness, yes, but also surprised.

indarias was the first to speak.

" it's been quite a while, dear alatus. " her tone was unrealistically calm, her voice just as melodic and comforting as the last time xiao had heard it. how could one stay so calm after just being revived from the dead minutes ago? even the vigilant yaksha did not know.

xiao replied , his tone unsure and his voice shaky — "so it has. " bonanus quickly interjected, "are we not supposed to be dead ?! why are you all so calm ?! how are we alive !?" she looked around frantically, her eyes finally meeting xiao's, the aforementioned still in place.

zooming forward and wrapping her arms around him, holding him tightly - like she'd never let him go. it's obvious the hydro yaksha was getting emotional, from how she sniffled and sucked back the tears that threated to pour out. " oh, alatus ! how I've, how we've , missed you! " she cried, pulling back from the hug as she peppered him with questions like " how have you been ? where have you been staying ? have all demons been vanquished ? how is morax ? " yet of course, she was stopped by a more masculine voice coming in.

" bonanus , alatus is visibly shaken right about now - shall we give him time to process this as we process it ourselves ? " menogias stated, his tone even. the bonanus in question pouted, but relented and patted alatus' head before giving him space.

sooner or later, xiao had processed it all - and was filled with nothing but happiness. before rejoicing and having a proper reunion with his allies, no, his family- he noticed something.

bosacius had seemed awfully quiet and xiao had known why – so, he placed a hand on bosacius' back reassuringly, murmuring words loud enough for his dear brother to hear.

" it's all in the past. you can let go of it now, because - it is a day of celebration and joy. "

bosacius smiled, and he smiled back. xiao then turned to the others, all looking at him expectantly- and his smile grew wider.

"I am glad to have reunited with you once again, my brothers and sisters - I know nothing about how your revivals had come to be, but what does it matter ? you are here, and I couldn't have been more happier."

they all cheered, and alatus had notified you of him being gone for a while, how long he didn't know- the reason you weren't told, a clumsy mistake of his admittedly! he'd forgot to mention that his sworn siblings had come back from the dead.

he dedicated that while to educating his family of the modern world, updating them, introducing them to modern day objects, all that jazz. he answered all the questions he could with no hesitation, and basked in being able to see their smiles again.

he loves them. he will continue to, they are his family after all - but one person is missing.

you. the moment it crossed his mind that you had not met eachother yet, nor had he even told his siblings about you, he mentioned your name immediately- earning mixed ( positive ) reactions from the yakshas.

" .. a lover? a lover ! alatus , my dear , we must meet them at once ! any one who earns your heart must be worth respect , after all ! "

" so you've found yourself the other half of your soul ? ... I am glad. now , where might they be ? we must meet them. either way , from the way you talk about them so lovingly.. it seems I'm starting to care for them aswell. "

" I'm happy for you, alatus. truly, I am. but don't run off before you can even introduce us, you know ? this y/n you speak of seems extraordinarily kind. "

" they seem like the type of person you'd fall for , indeed ! I, bosacius, humbly ask that you introduce us immediately ! they are to be family, after all ! part of our family, perhaps we could even be aunts and uncles ! "

y/n came face to face with xiao, just their xiao, and the world seemed to slow. they did not notice the others next to him, all they could focus on was - was xiao.

so introduce you, alatus did.

xiao almost fell from the sheer force of the hug, except he catched himself.

" you're back ! ive missed you so much !"

" indeed I am. I have missed you too, y/n. "

you let out a chuckle, but you froze when you heard quiet laughter. you released xiao, and what do you know -

" xiao how are they alive- "

" i happen to know just as much as you do, y/n. "

of course, having just seen people you presumed to be dead - you were left to process as the five yakshas engaged in small talk.

having sat them all down as they all got to know you, xiao didn't even try to join in. all he could focus on was how you laughed at bosacius' jokes, how you immediately got pulled into bonanus and indarias' little duo [ now trio ] , how you made menogias crack smiles once in a while , how you watched as menogias and bosacius bickered , how you watched as indarias and bonanus made inside jokes, how you all just clicked. like that. like it was nothing.

" oh, archons. " you breathed out , finally realizing that they were truly living, they were truly back, and now - your life had just been improved.

" — you see , menogias has tried and failed at getting me to wear shirts , and yet he still pushes it, even after it's been well over five hundred years ! "

" atlesst try to have some class , bosacius. "

to that, bosacius fired back with a statement that caused yet another roar of laughter amongst all of you - well, except xiao. he was too focused on watching you laugh.

" how about you , 'xiao'? you've been staring at your darling for the whole time we've been here!" menogias teased, trying to steer away from how he had practically had just been humiliated.

all of you looked towards him, and it was proven that yes- he had been looking at you. you couldn't help but feel a bit flustered - was that why he had not been talking so much ? because he was distracted by you ? how could you have not noticed ?

xiao, however, did not seem to care. like, at all. If anything, the rest of his fellow yakshas looks softened at the sight of their alatus so inlove. love. something they talked about so longingly. they were happy he had found it.

he smiled. " yes, it seems I've been too focused on my y/n today. alas, can you blame me? "

the four yakshas exchanged looks, to which they all agreed, beaming.

" no, we cannot. y/n is as pleasant as you depict them to be. "

" not at all ! y/n is incredibly friendly ! "

" you and y/n are perfect for eachother, it is evident. "

" nope, we can't blame ya ! y/n is a s'heart ! still don't know how they fell for you, of all people ! "

later that day , the four yakshas all pulled you aside for a private conversation , of course - you were nervous. what could ever be in store for you ? a shovel talk ? or even worse, a visual representation of what would happen instead of the shovel talk ?!

touched by their sudden compliments, your hands were waving around as you tried to utter out your gratitude. by the way they smiled at you, by the way xiao looked at you so fondly, you could tell they got the message.

thankfully , indarias calmed you down before you could even voice your concerns. so you waited patiently for them to speak, telling them to take their time.

what was firstly said left you confused.

" thank you. " indarias started. you were confused and it was visible, so bonanus continued. " for loving alatus- or, whatever he calls himself these days- xiao, yes, yes, xiao! "

before you could even speak, bosacius had taken the spotlight. " the wee lad may not seem like it to you, but to us- it's clear ! you've improved his life, for sure ! made it worth a damn ! - "

menogias butted in. " made him happier, that's what bosacius meant. because of you, he's learned to not be afraid to open his heart. "

" we can't thank you enough for that, y/n. "

" - but.. we can promise you a place in our hearts aswell, for you are special to alatus, meaning you are special to us. "

you smiled, again, you lost count of how many times you'd smiled today. but you smiled. they did too, actually.

family.

please note i am literally writing this at three in the morning so excuse me if i ever make mistakes thank u don't steal ill actually cry 👍

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

#ra speaks #piracy #media piracy #pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud #obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement.#anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them #this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams #edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise.#your experiences are not universal #edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.)#in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

#ask #nature #tornado #sorry if this reply is late #hope the image of walking tornadoes chills you to the bone as much as they do for me #usually i find tornadoes strangely awe inspiring #what with the shear power and destruction they can cause in such a short amount of time #but walking tornadoes are another class all their own #also i made a typo in fujita scale and it’s too late to fix it now

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

Oh look, it seems everyone has been opted into the unfortunate "experiment" now. For everyone who has been blissfully using the old UI up until now, welcome to hell :)

Do you not like hell? Do you want to leave and crawl back up into the sunlight of the old UI? Well, have I got a link for you! A beautiful tumblr user (who is not me) has gone and fixed things beautifully for you already: https://github.com/enchanted-sword/dashboard-unfucker

You will need to have Tampermonkey installed on your browser of choice, and once that's done, just go to the github link above, and peruse the readme to install. And voila! You have your old dash back!

The authors of XKit Rewritten said during the experiments that at the time, since this was an "experiment" they weren't going to implement anything to revert to the old UI (although who knows if they'll do it now). And the dashboard unfucker has worked beautifully enough for me to where I genuinely couldn't tell if they had ended the experiment or not.

#EDIT: pinning this for a few days so muts can find it if needed #EDIT: but also because i'm muting notifications because my phone is now dying #i foresee me possibly having to mute the notifications on this post #but whatever #(update: my prediction came true faster than i anticipated before i could even fix link mistakes or typos 🤷‍♀️ SORRY)#(when posts you make for your muts get a little further out than expected)#psa for anyone who the new ui winds up bothering #here's a way to basically revert to ye olden times
