sneeping with his legs up over his head for some reason... weird boye
#cats#love the second picture... skrungly sleepy well rested boye face...#since he's an elderly boy now sometimes when he wakes up from a nap he looks a bit scruffy and squinty eyed#Hard to beleive he's like 15 though.. he still looks like a kitten to me.. due to his giant round creature eyes and childlike demeanor#I think it's interesting that like... baby cats are babies. kittens are kittens. and you can tell a cat is like 'young adult' phase#looking from like a few months to maybe 1yr or 2yrs.. but after that they just always look the same to me#a 5 yr old cat is a 10 yr old cat is a 15 year old cat. unless the cat in question is particulalry aged or youthful#I still have so so little energy... it's been icy here this week. like not even FUN but just scary icy even thoguh i lOOOVE the cold#and its my favorite weather. I think it'd be okay actually if I had a woodburning stove/fireplace/hearth thing. literally thats my only#concern with the power going out. I genuinely don't mind stuff like having to go to the bathroom in buckets or cook over a fire or do other#less conveninet things. Its just that if eveyrhtng is electric then you have no way to cook and all of that. well.. and I literally need#background noise to go to sleep lest my ocd sprials become so loud I am slowly driven into maddness.. but a few battery packs or something#and a phone with one downloaded video I could play on repeat is fine for that. I dont need internet. ANYWAY.. so so sad that my fav#orite season ever (winter) is here. and the first cold of the winter is like... just an ice storm that you cant even walk in. I#love like 4 feet of snow where you can play in it and stuff. But just a thin flat sheet of a few inches of ice over every imaginable surfac#is not really playable. the wind speeds are so high and so many trees fall it's actually not that safe to go hang out outside anyway unless#you were in a totally clear open field. which is SAD also because i love ice and high winds. i love to stand out there and get whipped in t#he face with ice crystals and feel like I'm in some dramatic movie or something. but alas.. the threat of being attacked by a falling tree.#I did go out some but again it's like. literallyyou cant walk on it. so I just squatted and dragged myself along the ground lol#One of my stories has a whole section where the main characters are trapped in a deadly cold environment for a week and have to use magic#to survive and etc. etc. so I'm always like.. ouuu.. I should go in the ice.. it's Writing Research actually.. *foolishly gets frostbite*#THOUGH yesterday I went on a harrowing evil journey down a bunch of icy hilly roads to go check on some person's cat because the cat#had been left in the house for like 5 days at that point with nobody to check on them and nobody else seemed to want to do anything#about it (like call all of the neighbors or try to get someone out there) so I just went myself with a roommate who agreed to drive me.#It seemed acting totally normal and I gave it more food and water but.. I am still worried about it.. Apparently the person will be able#to get back to their house tomorrow but.. I dont trust them. But I couldnt take the cat with me because it's like.. a stranger's cat#basically and also no carrier + very skittish.. so I feared if I just tried to carry them bare handed they'd definitely leap from my grasp#and then it'd be like.. sliding on a sheet of ice chasing a cat and so on.. I still think they need to be watched for health issues tho >:|#ANYWAY.... many cat adventures lately... and strange weather... I wish for a normal week without always so many Things Happening.. augh

Mare sure was talking a big game in War Storm about how she didn't care about Cal Tiberias for someone who wouldn't stop looking at him in every situation she could.
You say you're over him, but you just happened to notice that his boots were polished and that he was wearing the new winter collection of the Calore wardrobe? Okay girl whatever you say.
Not to mention she went out of her way twice (2x, otra vez), to tell two powerful people who make important decision that he has to live by the end. Like sure girl, you're over him, we believe you 🙄

Planned
For those that don't know. This is EOS!Reader (Eye of Storm) who is isekai'ed into Genshin as an EOS created by @anemoarchonhoe Their lore and my lore may be similar but have differences.
This is dedicated to them and is only the beginning for this series. Yes, I am bad for starting a second series when I haven't finished the first. But writing is self-indulgent and so am I.
Freedom
What a wonderful thing.
You could barely imagine a life where you could choose everything to your liking.
Born and bred to become the heir to your family's business, nothing was truly in your control. From the food you ate to the clothes you wore and the hobbies you had.
You felt trapped.
Making friends was a difficult matter too. Described as cold, quiet, and intimidating. Your background only further pushed a wedge between you and everyone.
By the time you finished college for a major you didn't care for, you were already aware of how lonely life was going to be.
Everyday you pushed your introverted self to act confident in front of companies to make deals. Quiet and stuffy meals you rarely shared with your parents were the only rewards you gained.
You still dreamed of just running away with the money you made to somewhere you can start over.
But could you really do it?
You had the power and money you wished for, it could help you finally be free.
The only thing you lacked was courage to try. Yet no matter how long you spent in your suffocating life, you never gained that will.
Instead you settled for small choices that gave you a brief sense of freedom to find solace in.
Petting a animal on your way home, impulsively buying a small snack that looked tasty, spending a few minutes to listen to street performers before dropping a tip.
A small oasis that gave you the energy to keep going.
Hoyoverse, a company that had grown and expanded after their games exploded in popularity offered a deal. They wanted to use your building's screens for advertisement. Specifically for Genshin Impact.
You were always careful when it came to the company. But you only read the description of the game before impulsively deciding to accept it.
That day passed in a flash and you went home early with your mind stuck on it.
Why did you do that? What pushed you to accept so readily?
Waiting for Genshin to download, you ordered food from that restaurant down the street. A favorite among locals living here that you were eager to try out.
Checking on your computer the game was finished downloading. Pushing away the minor nerves you booted up the game.
It was beautiful.
The scenery was gorgeous, the mechanics came naturally to you and the story drew you in.
What really mesmerized you were the characters.
Quickly becoming addicted you spent almost all your free time on it. Your work may have been completed first but you put the majority of your love and attention on the game.
All the money that were sitting in your bank account was used on the Battlepass and Welkin Moon. You were much more hesitant to use it on the banners.
At least until half a year later Venti's banner came along.
The first character that you fell in love with on sight. The figurine's, commissioned fan art, and merch that you collected decorated your once empty house.
The small keychain of him that you attached to your bag became the new object of your parents 'concerns'. For the first time you fought against them.
The proceeding argument was breathtaking.
You gained the courage to defend and stick to your decision.
You felt happy.
You felt free.
Awaiting your rare day off you rushed home. The newest event was the bartender event. It was a Mondstadt event focused on Angels Share. It was obvious that Venti would show up.
You were disappointed to say the least when Venti didn't appear even once.
Was it due to the lack of alcohol? Humming a tune you decide to get yourself a drink.
Specifically an apple cider, that you wanted to try due to Venti's favoritism for it.
Opening the fridge and grabbing the bottle your phone starts ringing. Sighing bitterly you answered already aware of who it would be.
"Y/n pack a bag, I booked you a flight that leaves in 3 hours."
Pressing two fingers on your temple to soothe the inevitable headache you bite out, "Why the hell did you schedule a flight without telling me about it and in 3 hours no less?"
"Watch your tone, there's not a lot of time. Everything is set up already, the details will be explained later." You can basically hear the sneer in your mother's voice.
"How am I supposed to pack the correct documents when you won't eve-" the 'end call' beep echos in your home like a gun shot. Gritting your teeth you slam the phone on the table and stalk off to your room.
This isn't the first time she pulled this bullshit on you and it won't be the last.
You stuff the plain and uncomfortable clothes into the suitcase.
Weak
Neatly folding away any documents that might come in handy along with whatever company details that might be having a problem.
Weak
A car is pulling up to the house as identification, electronics, and your wallet are tucked into your bag.
Weak
The bitterness has burned away leaving your voice cold and empty as usual. Slidding into the backseat with your suitcase flat on the car carpet you ask, "Father which airplane am I-"
"I'll tell you when we get there." You don't say anything after that.
Weak
Buckling your seat belt that familiar hot pool of shame bubbles up in your gut. At this point you consider it closer to being your family than your parents are.
Closing your eyes you mentally prepare yourself for the news reporter on whatever country you're off to. The assistants that swarm you filling you in on whatever meetings and lectures you'll be forced to lead.
You fall asleep with the thought of forced pleasentries and uncomfortable conversations.
It felt like barely anytime had passed when you wake up to screaming. Whipping your head around to observe the area, flames merely graze your face.
The plane is on fire.
Screaming and crying make your heart race as you frantically press the seatbuckle to release you.
The smoke and heat cause you to stumble as you grab onto a oxygen mask. It clears your mind as you see passengers frantically running around while others are curled up in their seats.
You try to ignore the limp bodies on fire.
There's only a few flight attendants and they aren't in any state to help anyone.
The mask can't reach very far so you ditch it for a piece of cloth and try to get to the nearest flight attendant.
You stumble over debris and hysterical people as the fire and engine roar in sync.
Slumped against the wall, you can tell that her leg just isn't right. Her arm is bloody and you can't see her hand. She's coughing and struggling to breathe, the sight makes your heart hurt as you push yourself faster.
Grabbing the nearest oxygen mask you kneel down and press it to her face. You try to ignore the blood you're touching as you yell to be heard.
"Wha-cough WHAT DO WE-"
You cut yourself off with a scream as the plane breaks beneath you.
You're falling
The change in pressure leaves black dots in your vision and your stomach churns at the speed.
That suffocating heat turns into icy wind that sends shudders through your body.
Your body is at the violent winds mercy as you fall.
Gazing up at the cloudy blue sky a thought echos through your mind.
Can I finally be free?

For anyone keeping track (no one), I have started watching the first Avengers film (MCU not the 60s TV show) but only while eating lunch so it's gonna take a while. So far Nick Fury has been assembling the Avengers (the film was initially released in the UK as Avengers Assemble - because of that 60s TV show - but it's not called that on D+ so I'm calling it what the Americans called it, just FYI) even though there's not yet anything for them to avenge as That Suit Guy (j/k I know his name too!!) isn't dead yet, and now they're on THE FUCKING VALIANT FROM DR WHO and I assume we're gonna continue assembling for a while as they're not all there yet.
MEANWHILE Loki (who is neither an alligator nor a woman in this???) is in a SECRET UNDERGROUND LAIR with a bunch of his stans who are... idk something technobabble that involves irridium and anti-protons. He is there looking for the tesseract on behalf of ???? who I know will be revealed 47 films from now as... no, wait, it wasn't, was it? That was just announced on a website or something? So it could be LITERALLY ANYONE. The Avengers (in-progress) also seem to be after that thing, but I have already forgotten why everyone is wanting it, assuming it was mentioned (it probably was).
Thor hasn't shown up yet, but Arrows Hawkeye is working as a Loki Stan and there's Steve Rogers and THE HULK and The Only Woman One, whose power is that she's a Cold War assassin (??) and I think this one is the film where she gets called a cunt (!) and honestly I am not sure which of the men she's getting officially shipped with, I think Arrows Hawkeye though? Fairly sure, as the alternative is that a man and a woman like each other as people but not in a lusty way, which would never happen obviously. (Hey I may ship mostly het* pairings but I don't always like it!)
Based on the Valiant (if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!) I am guessing that the film ends with Loki dying in Thor's arms romantically but then I remembered that I know it can't because one of Loki got kidnapped from... either the end of this film or the start of the next one or POSSIBLY just from a later film's time-travel bit (???) but like... maybe they've edited this film secretly and I was right after all? But nobody else has watched it on Disney + recently so nobody knows yet? IT COULD HAPPEN.
Not sure what to make of this film so far, a lot's been going on yet also not much has been going on, and the one I like best so far (Suit Guy) is gonna die (NOT EVEN IN THOR'S ARMS ROMANTICALLY) and god Iron Man really hasn't aged well now that we have that one tech billionaire being a twat in public all the time to remind us what such people tend to be like. WHERE IS THOR????
*I say het but everyone in everything is bisexual, I know this because I thought of it and announced it on tumblr and will now say "I don't make the rules" to make it an objective FACT. I don't make the rules!!!
#the avengers (mcu edition not the 60s one)#(though if u close one eye and tilt ur head the black widow looks a wee bit like emma peel maybe?)#i like to think the lair of loki stans exists after this to post angrily on social media about how actually he did nothing wrong etc etc#let me know if loki's just working from a subway station that's still in use in this that'd be hilarious he'd be so annoyed by it all#torn on the tortured-by-thanos issue so far he does look messy but he might just have the flu and didn't want to back out#a lot of people are depending on him to jumpstart a movie superhero franchise he can't just take the day off can he#if loki took care of himself thor would be LITERALLY UNEMPLOYED how could he? how could YOU?#(the 'god of thunder' thing isn't a job he doesn't get paid for it so it's just a hobby)#(he doesn't even monetise that hobby! you think iron man would give you storms for free? EXACTLY. he'd have a patreon AT LEAST)#(“if you enjoyed this torrential rain pls tip me on ko-fi which is not pronounced like you think it is because it's a really BAD pun”)#mcu tag i guess#and whatever the fuck my loki character tag was#like i said i really do need to categorise my lokis more it's been bothering me for a while#reminder: i am here because they cast a woman in a previously-male role and SHE'S NOT EVEN IN THIS FILM. OR ANY OF THEM. D:#don't think the alligator's gonna turn up here either :( :( :(#otherwise it's just kind of fascinating what this film assumes i do and don't know about these characters#nick fury's a goth right?

Y'all remember how I said before that since I can't draw you'll just have to imagine what my oc looks like. Well now actually you'll have to imagine a little bit longer cuz This Ain't It™!
Tumblr media
(mfer gon' close her damn eyes when I'm taking a picture JAMSJDLSJSIS but you know what it fits. Good for them 💖)
So THIS is Holly Steelcry and my excuse for them looking Like That is that I haven't truly played the game and gotten new gear since Mirage came out (and this was before I really developed her as an OC rather than just an empty husk) so her appearance is pm outdated. Still that's like the general.... GIST of what they look like, I'm keeping the giant ass purple lightning sword and the glasses, I'm probably just gonna change everything else about em (and also removing her obnoxious ass Storm face stickers JAKAJSJD)
Although I think I got the hairstyle figured out, she probably looks more like This in my head than any other existing hairstyle in the game

: You're the one called Storm Eye yes? Teron asked me to stay by your side and in return I shall share all he has kept secret from thee. Storm Eye: If he has secrets to keep I don't think it's fair for you to share them. Who are you? Kho: I am Khoshekh. Brother by bond not blood to Teron. Someone he has never told you of I am certain. Storm Eye: And why would he not mention you? Kho: For it was my wish. I am leader of a cult that shall not be known to you just yet. Storm Eye: That... that sounds like something related to Teron. And if it's not I don't think there's any harm in you being around. Kho: If I may ask, can you tell me your story? That which began upon your creation by Arceus Sarii.
Tumblr media
... The angry god, with a twisted sense of justice. You know him already. "Yes but others might not. Surely you know there's a nearby crowd who listens. Other-worlders like to lean on the broken veil you know." I thought the world became less stable with your approach. "No need to worry over the fading. I think they are only here to listen, not to trespass. Not like you have a say in the matter, your child and partner are both from another world that has made a permanent change to Arceal." Do you want the story or not? "Apologies. Proceed."
Tumblr media
The flame of wrath, blind brutal justice. I had no clue how horrible he was when he created me. Only that I knew the intense hatred and betrayal that Teron held for the god.
I came into this world confused, hurt, without memory, and lacking control over my body. A monsoon kept us both wet and miserable for the long slow walk to the edges of Arceal. Even without memory though I felt what Teron's body refused to forget. Immense sorrow, a broken heart, and extreme fear. He took my existence as a curse at first because that was the intent when Sarii forced him to share his body with me. He yelled internally for me to shut up and leave... But something happened when he heard my own voice with a trembling fear answering him.
He softened his tone. I didn't know why his attitude changed so quick. And I was scared when he gave me full control of our body and told me to keep walking. It hurt. My paws ached, I was extremely thirsty despite the heavy rains, I felt for the first time the hunger and weariness he was protecting me from. He knew if he kept control with his own thoughts we would both die.
And he did not keep his thoughts to himself. On the journey to... well, to a place I didn't know at the time. Well it was the outskirts near Damonia, I don't know why we didn't go there first, he never said. But on our journey there, he helped pass time by talking of his family. Of his espeon partner Vivi and their twin kids who both were loved enough to be sylveons.
The more he talked of Vivi and the kids Terra and Vyrin, the more our body ached and felt weary. The more I wished he would tell me who I was and where we were going. The more I wished for him to cry and beg for control of our body. Instead he talked of sneaking out of royal chambers in his youth to have fun with Vivi. Of the stars and weather that were present when his kids came into the world. Of how close the two were and that he was glad they never fought. Those stories in particular his voice did waver.
We got to the outskirts and traveled until we were at the mouth of the disappearing river. And we collapsed until another espeon found me. She told us the weather that day was unique and we were only in the eye of the storm. She was the first to notice I was not Teron. The first to notice we were two unique individuals who were forced to share a body. And she introduced herself as Solaura and asked me to name myself. I had no ideas at the time but eye of the storm felt apt enough. And so I became Storm Eye that day.
She was patient and understanding. I felt anger but not towards me even though her eyes stared directly in mine. I felt shame that was not mine but Teron's and he finally cracked and asked for control. I think without Solaura I would have never known how horrible Sarii was to Teron. He would not have said anything to anyone but her, not even me.
Teron was crowned king of Arceal and he was held in high regard by everyone except Sarii. Sarii only saw him as a puppet to play with until he got bored. All it would take is to be angered and Sarii would ruin his life. Teron doesn't know what he did to anger Sarii, maybe he did nothing at all. Arceus Sarii had always been the embodiment of wrath and ruler of Arceal. Uxie Ayro, a much older god, was the one who chose, fathered, crowned, and made a ruler of Teron. Sarii had no say in the matter and that may have been the only thing that made him constantly angry. Whose to say.
In Sarii's wrath, Vivi was murdered for being an 'unfit queen who distracts the king' despite also having the favor of all of Arceal. Sarii made sure Teron see her turn into nothing but ash from his power alone. And his daughter Terra was sentenced to execution as well. Those who feared Sarii dared not go against what was asked and only wore hoods to avoid the gaze of Teron as they held him prisoner and marched him to the front of the execution. He noticed something that would shatter the rest of the kingdom once they noticed it too and allow his escape.
His son Vyrin had always been kind and boisterous wherever he went. Some may speak against Teron and question his decisions, some were jealous of Vivi, many did not know Terra and her softspoken words, but none had anything ever negative to say of Vyrin. Many called him a cure for any sorrow. Not to mention his own unique fur color for a sylveon. A striking blue reminiscent of the sky. But that day his fur was painted over in pink. Terra was nowhere to be found.
In the span of two days Teron lost his home, his wife, his son, and feared he had also lost his daughter. To a god he joked with, held meetings with, and thought he could mildly trust despite his blatant anger. He still refuses to tell me how he escaped, only that Vyrin made everything that follow become a blur in his memory.
In his escape Sarii was enraged and cast a curse on him. I think it was meant to be much worse than what I am to him because Giratina Chocolate took the brunt of the attack and bought him time. She was too late for her original intent to save Vyrin at Terra's request. She could only help Teron escape. The attack took it's toll on Chocolate as I think she is still unable to leave the Reverse to this day and Teron is forever grateful to her.
All of this as it was told to Solaura began to make me hate Sarii far more than it seemed Teron could. I was the one that urged us to find a way to kill the mad god. I was the one that forced Teron to take his life. But he was the one that found the resources and methods to make such a thing possible.
This country has been under several pantheons and there are two points in history that seem concerned with godkillers. The first is what we sought, ancient magic from before there was a distinction between god and mortal. The other seems forgotten wholly outside the moving cities whose names I forget. But this ancient magic was imbued into artifacts long buried under endless sand.
These exporations to find ruins and artifacts did lead into some good luck for me. Mostly because Teron refused to take contol of our body and let me explore individuality. During those adventures I was accompanied by my now daughter Etsuko as she was searching for her mother Magdalene. It was nice to finally meet her and well, I suppose I started to understand what it felt like to love someone. That only drove my hate for Sarii and what he did to Teron even more.
I was stupid. We found a candle of golden ichor said to burn the blood of gods. I shouldn't have brought Etsuko with me to fight Sarii and I don't know why Magdalene wasn't more angry at my lapse of judgment with that. I'm lucky it worked out that we were all safe in the end and did manage to kill Sarii. But still all I did was too risky and I do regret that aspect of it. I am glad Teron was a constant presence through the whole journey but I do wish his reaction to Sarii's death was less somber.
Then again I think my hate did outgrow his own and with Sarii dead it has petered out until recently. I think my curse to Teron is that I feel and voice his emotions more strongly than he can. I think that's why we split. Terra is headed back to the executioner and he did not want my anger. I hope he knows what he's doing.
"He does. He is on his own quest to save her and I trust you he is not alone. Thank you for sharing the story though I think you more rambled it than told it. I'm sure you can bring up details if prompted but I won't pry any further."
I forgot you were listening. It was just nice to talk about.
