Hello there, friend I'm here for fluff

OK, this has been on my mind for a while

But like

The reader is just becoming the biggest parent to the Benny's adventure team kids

And the wolfs

We are like a parent of like 27

Knitting and making food brushing razors hair(let's be for real, you would hear a crunch when you brush it)

I'm not gonna lie

Do these kids know what spices are?

Cuz when I think about it

Razor hasn't had shit so he's has the least tolerance for spice

He would probably cry if you feed him a pepper

Bennett has tried spicy food but does go well with it

And not completely sure if fischl has had a spicy food before

But what flavor does mondstadt add to their food??

These kids need the damn flavors

^^ The posts being referenced in ask, (OG Razor ask) (Benny + Razor) and a more direct sequel, a part 2? a part 4 atp?? of this post (Imposter/Not Dark AU + Razor + Diluc) ^^

OMFG

ALRIGHT LISTEN UP BITCHES

SINCE UR IN TEYVAT

YOU GONNA COOK LIKE TEYVAT

AS IN-

SHIT BE SUPER EASY TO COOK, AND MASS MAKE DEPENDING ON COMPLEXITY OF DISH

(So, like Zhongli's special Bamboo Shoot Soup is like getting made... once a year if you read the little desc. for that dish 💀)

AND THEYRE ALL LIKE-

ANIME GORGEOUS FOODS ✨️❤️‍🔥

OKAY SO

PROMO TIME-

U GUYS HAVE TO WATCH THE ANIME "CAMPFIRE COOKING IN ANOTHER WORLD"

Bc that's mostly where this inspo gonna come from to both be realistic cooking + best parts of video game cooking

A guy gets isekai’d and instead of hero powers he just gets the skill of "online grocery shopping" LMAO

and ofc he gets insta gifted whatever he orders and starts making dishes and adding spices and regular stuff you know. like soy sauce.

but the best part is the food in that world is like British medieval soup shit

like barely salted, no spices definitely, no sauces, its barren

so he ends up attracting all kinds of interest that want to eat his cooking ofc

And it gives buffs too!

dw i didnt spoil anything u don't learn in the first episode, but that's just to say that's exactly whats happening here

u DO have to manually collect more ingredients but its so worth it, also u can just buy in bulk or put a commission thru the adventurer guild

tbhhh now that i say that, that could be how u end up drawing in Benny’s Adventure Team even more, bc they just take all ur quests for collecting ingredients around Mond!!

(u have to actively sneak behind their back and whisper to Katheryne that you want to put in other food quests in other guilds tho, silly kids will absolutely go running around Liyue and crazy shit just to have an adventure and do smth for you + eat ur banger food lol)

omfg the first time u barbecue smth???

the wolves, Razor, and Andrius??? Go feral.

Fischl and Benny who were already on their way to u guys to hang out again start booking it thru the woods, dodging hilichurl camps (thatve since settled down and been v peaceful to the wolves + anyone in the woods of Wolvendom after u started living there)

they knowww ur cookin smth fucking amazing

(and u even have some hilichurls and mitachurl that wander close to Andrius’ edge of the woods to shyly beg for scraps,, u give them a portion)

Razor was actually lookin at u like u hung the stars just for him when u gave him a homemade barbecue sauce to put on his food

(u acc may have done that to Teyvatians according to Andrius + the stories u overheard from Springvale…)

ok but the amount of begging u get for desserts like-

No, Razor u cannot have chocolate cake/cupcakes after every meal, u need to take care of ur teeth

(u use ur collection of mora-monster-donations for comms for more ingredients and living supplies like fabric + furniture, u cant afford dental on top of that for ur boy)

Fischl dutifully declares you the “best chef in the kingdom” and writes down all ur recipes (u have them auto-stored in ur settings obv but it cant hurt to have a physical copy, and they look so happy doing it, u don't have the heart to tell them its not necessary-)

Benny insists on both giving u extra ingredients when he takes ur commissions, and giving u handmade trinkets or weapons for the meals!!

No!! He will not take “im good” for an answer!! ur sharing ur home-cave with him, taking care of his best friend Razor, and now feeding him food better than Liuli Pavilion!!! There’s no way he can just take all that and give nothing back!!!!

and theyre not the only ones getting some food tbh

when the knights begin patroling near Wolvendom and slowly all of Mondstadt to search for their “All God”, u break up the beginnings of a fight between 2 confused knights and the now peaceful hilichurl camp at the edge of Wolvendom

U offer some snacks u were going to give Benny’s Adventure Team when they got back (u made little triangle sandwiches, rice balls, etc. finger foods, and u made plenty extra bc u kno their teenage appetites lol)

the knights and hilichurls nearly cried with appreciation, which made for a hilarious sight when the teens actually showed up lmao

ur wearing ur cloak, bc u dont wanna take on that whole “creator of worlds” title just yet, and the kids helped verify u werent anyone suspicious (Benny + Fischl keep ur godly secret, theyre the best like that 🥰)

the knights just swing by for snacks occasionally (they also either pay u in trade or with mora, theyre not bullies)

another person who gets flavored food privileges is the lazy librarian witch herself

u also sometimes pick Razor up from Lisa’s tutoring and bring “the best tea and tea snacks in the world” along with to share with Lisa and him

(she is also fully aware after awhile of meeting u of what u are, and fully believes this is why the food must be enchanted to be so good, but u dont want to be treated super reverently she can tell, so she keeps ur secret too and is just extra flirty when u come by lol)

(Razor refuses to let his pare- Lupical move out of ur cozy cave to the library, so he sometimes hauls u away when Lisa flirts too much LMAO)

…and the moment you've been waiting for.

Yes, Diluc got to try ur food that night he was searching Wolvendom for signs of the god of Teyvat

tbh Diluc was half-convinced that shit was a fever dream.

a bunch of sleepy wolves, a coffee table in the stone colosseum, a giant spirit wolf licking a big plate clean, the wolf-kid glaring at him, and you.

you with gold eyes, staring right thru his soul, like you already know everything there is to know about him, (like the way Kaeya looked at him that night),

like he doesnt even have to introduce himself

and he doesnt, u just lightly smack Razor’s hands until he gets rid of his claymore w/a pout, since Diluc had long since dropped his,

and grab a plate, piling on what leftovers u could, and turn back around from the coffee table to smile at him, patting the cushion-seat beside u for him to join

The giant glowing wolf licks his lips and watches him, the wolf-kid’s creepily watches him, and you, with eyes gold in teh light of a simmering bonfire just past the table, watch him

he just sits down and begins to eat.

its the best food he’s ever had, its his dad’s favorite dish, but not realistically, but the way memory embellishes a dish so much it can never be tasted again, except its right here. in front of him. u pour some wolfhook juice for him, and offer him a napkin to wipe his mouth and eyes

Diluc visits often after that, obviously.

u give him snacks too, and when he lets the staff try some, Adeline will not stop harassing him abt gettin ur recipes/ingredeints so u get him to pay Fischl to get a copy of their recipe book :)

including blank pages for future entries, and Fischl is literally glowing with happiness, would not stop monologuing abt ur food for weeks (send help Oz wants some peace and quiet sometimes)

Oh Diluc absolutely told the Favonius knights he found you. But he’s not saying where LMAO

Jean is actually begging him, Diluc ik u hate the knights but this is an international investigation-

this is the closest Diluc has ever gotten to getting under Venti’s skin.

when he told him this at Angel’s while bartending, he just casually ofc said this, just his smug little smirk, and the anemo god cracked a glass and everything- esp when he said he tried ur cooking??

he's gotta start looking over his shoulder in the city bc not only is Venti stalking him, the entirety of Mondstadt’s citizens are glaring at him in envy everywhere he goes LMAOO

(Venti now has a bar glass or too on his tab to pay off as well)

mans is literally paying u in weapon/artifact materials/mora to make him lunch one day and Venti nearly lunges over the counter

(Diluc purposefully ate it in front of him 💀)

ur food is the ultimate, “u could make a religion out of this!” /ref

like Diluc fully gives u offerings of ingredients he can pay for shipping from other countries + along with regular materials after grinding in domains

does the rest of Mondstadt + the world find out where u are?

only if Diluc lets them tbh. LMFAO

HEY NOW, YOU'RE AN ALL-STAR - LEON S. KENNEDY

ft. leon kennedy x fem!reader

a/n: commission for the lovely @nexysworld :3 ft. my fave creation, shrekeon. you guys are in for a treat trust me x

cw: 18+ content, fluff, depictions of alcohol, drunk!leon, dressing up, costume sex, p in v, creampie, bad puns, laughing during sex, implied age gap, size difference + size kink

word count: 1.7k words

In hindsight, introducing your boyfriend to Shrek was definitely not in your top ten for stupid ideas. You'd told him it was a crime to be nearly forty without seeing the movie – and rightfully so. He was an old man at heart, barely having seen a movie past the nineties. You thought you were righting an injustice. Shrek was a movie for everyone, no matter their age. It held up, even years later. You were pretty sure everyone had seen this movie, but then again, your boyfriend could barely even work a smartphone, so you shouldn't be entirely surprised.

The only thing you hadn't quite anticipated how much he'd like it. Leon spent most of the movie cackling like a maniac. Whether that was from the half-bottle of whiskey he downed or the movie itself, you weren't sure. Either way, what was meant to be a light-hearted movie night led you to where you were now – tipsy and laughing at your boyfriend's Shrek getup in his bedroom at nearly midnight.

When you finally manage to catch your breath, you let your eyes trail over to the costume he had laid out on the bed for you. Sexy Farquaad. That alone is enough to send you into another fit of giggles, your brows raising as you look over at him.

“Leon? We are so breaking up.” Your hands lift up the red costume, your eyes flicking between Leon, then back at the outfit. You eye up the wig, barely managing to suppress a smile. Idiot. “Shouldn't I at least be Fiona?”

“Shut up.” He says between drunken giggles, adjusting the headband on his head so it sits properly, grinning at you as the green ears poke out through his hair. “You're smaller. Farquaad suits you, babe. You can pull anythin’ off.”

Your gaze flicks over to Leon as he adjusts the headband, and you can't help but snort out a laugh, letting your gaze trail his body to take in the whole outfit. Fake belly and everything. You don't even wanna know how much he paid for the costumes. Drunk Leon should not be allowed anywhere near a computer. His spending habits while intoxicated seemed to be getting worse and worse. “Jesus. There's no way you're not pulling my leg.”

“I'm being so serious. You don't wanna make me mad, baby, or it'll… it'll be ogre for you.”

Another laugh, and you reach up to playfully flick one of his ears, shaking your head. “I hate you. You're ridiculous.”

“You gotta give me love’s first kiss to get me back to Leon, baby. If you don't, I'm gonna be stuck like this.” He says with a grin, leaning towards you with his lips puckered. “Don't make me do the accent.”

“God. Please, not the accent.” You say between giggles, looping your arms around his neck to tug him closer, a stupid smile gracing your features. “I'll do anything you want, just please, not the accent.”

“Anything, huh? You gonna put on that sexy ‘lil costume for me?” He murmurs, leaning forward to kiss you. His lips meet yours as he places his hands on your waist, tugging you closer to his body. His tongue brushes against your lower lip until you part them, but then he's pulling away from you.

“Leon? What… come on, babe.” You whine, leaning forward in an attempt to kiss him, but he's quick to place a finger against your chest to stop you from advancing further, a shit-eating grin spreading across his face.

“Not a chance, sweetheart. I didn't get all dressed up for you to take it easy. You want me to dive into that swamp of yours? Costume goes on.”

You shoot him a glare that can only be described as murderous, but all he does is grin wider, looking between the costume and you. With a dramatic sigh, you pick up the costume and make your way towards the bathroom with the plan of changing into it. When you return to the bedroom, Leon's lounging back casually on the bed with his arms behind his bed, still in the Shrek outfit. He lets out a low whistle, tilting his head to the side.

“Damn. You're looking shreksy, babe.”

“No.” You reply quickly, making your way over to the bed.

“Shrektacular?” 

“Absolutely not.”

“Work with me here, angel. I only have so many Shrek puns at my disposal, y'know?” He says cheekily, patting his lap. Another deep, irritated exhale leaves you as you settle, placing your palms firmly on his chest.

“Atta girl. Red might be your colour. Hottest evil little Lord I've ever seen.” He teases, his hands coming up to adjust the hat resting atop your head. He lets out a soft giggle once more, his eyes trailing down your body. His hands reach up to thread through your hair, and then he's pulling you into another kiss.

It doesn't take you long to get into it, the taste of whiskey filling your mouth as his tongue sloppily meets yours as he licks into your mouth. He pulls you closer so you're pressed flush against him, his hips rocking up against you. He slowly starts to harden, his hands grasping your hips to make you grind down against him.

Your little moans are swallowed by his mouth as he kisses you hungrily, his teeth nipping at your bottom lip. He reaches between your legs, grabbing the fabric of the costume and tearing it open, just enough for him to be able to slip a few fingers past the cloth to gather your wetness before circling your sensitive nub.

He pulls away from the kiss to catch his breath, pulling his hand away to pull the brown trousers down enough to free his cock. He gives it a few languid pumps before lining up with your entrance, sinking into your tight heat with a low groan of pleasure.

“Thought you weren't into this, baby? ‘Cause you acted like it, but you're soaking me already, and I haven't even started fucking you yet.” He breathes out, his brows furrowing as he leisurely starts to thrust up into you.

All you can manage is a low whine, your hands grasping the brown vest of his costume, your head hanging as you feel his cock rub against your sweet spot, the hat falling off your head and dropping on the bed next to the both of you. “Leon… shut… shut up.”

“Aww, sweetheart. You don't like it when a big, strong ogre explores all your… fuck… layers?” He huffs out, his voice coming out a little breathless as he grabs your waist. His large hands grip you easily, using his strength to drag you up and down on his cock, controlling the pace of each of your movements.

You let out an annoyed whine, your eyes squeezing shut as you bounce your hips against his, trying to focus on the familiar feeling of your boyfriend's cock filling you up. You feel him shaking slightly, and you crack your eyes open only to see the asshole is trying to suppress another fit of laughter at your reaction.

“You are such a dick.” You grunt, grinding his cock deep inside of you until you hear Leon gasp and moan, the smirk instantly getting wiped from his face. You smile in triumph, but it's short-lived as he finds yet another pun to annoy you with.

“Better in you than out - that's what I always say.” Your hips falter as you groan, and Leon uses that as an opportunity to flip both of you over, hooking your ankles over his shoulders so he can pound you into the mattress. The cushion of the fake stomach smacks against your thighs with every thrust, and Leon's fake ears become skewed as he throws his head back in pleasure.

He seems to forget all about feeding you shitty puns as he buries himself to the hilt with every thrust, the new position allowing him to kiss your cervix every time he pushes forward. He can barely think with your cunt sucking him in, drenching him with your arousal. All you can do is whimper as he pistons into you, your body jerking up with the strength of his movements. Your hands come up to grip his shoulders, your nails digging into the fabric of the white shirt he's wearing.

“Leon… m'close…” You breathe out, your back arching off the bed. He lets out a deep moan in response, pressing his hips flush against your ass so he can grind his pelvis against your clit, giving you the extra simulation needed to push you over the edge. You cry out his name as you cum, your walls clenching down around his length. 

Leon pulls back slightly to thrust shallowly into you a few more times before he follows behind you, his release making his thighs tremble slightly. He shoots thick white ropes of cum deep into your tight walls, his breaths coming out in short gasps. He collapses against you after a moment, his cock softening inside of you before he pulls out, tucking you against his side.

“This costume is making me sweat.” He grunts after a few moments of cuddling up to you, pressing his lips to your forehead before standing up, his joints cracking as he stretches. He holds out a hand towards you, giving you a slightly sleepy smile. 

“C'mon, my little all-star. Let's get you in the bath. Maybe we can cuddle up after, and you can show me Shrek 2 tonight?” At the sight of you face palming, he lets out a loud chuckle, slipping his arms under your body so he can cradle you against his chest, carrying you over to the bathroom.

“C'mon, baby. I promise not to dress up as Shrek again. Maybe next time I'll be real nice and get that prince's costume.” He teases, pressing another kiss to your forehead. You pull your hands away from your face to glare at him, and he gives you a grin that you know means trouble. “Just kidding, sweetheart.”

You both know he isn't.

Haha Whoops Uh Oh! (UPDATED 6/11/23)

so this isn't the type of post I normally like to make, but! uh! hey! I just got ambushed by a HUGE tuition bill I wasn't expecting, and I'm out of options to pay it - they've already applied my scholarship and loans, I'm already working multiple jobs that are basically just barely paying for rent + groceries, and I only have enough on my credit card to pay for One of the three payments they're requiring, which only gets me through till July (with, again, no options that get me that amount of money by that time).

further full disclosure, this bill came at like, the worst possible time - they've given me four days to make at minimum the first payment (which, again, I can only do by maxing out my credit card), and on top of juggling multiple jobs I'm also in the middle of two classes, including one which involves upcoming travel (that is already paid for, thank god). Hence, me Scrambling a li'l bit!!

as such, I've set a new goal on my ko-fi!! it is, of course, HUGE, but genuinely any small amount people are able to contribute goes a huge way to giving me SOME way to pay it off. note that 3-coffee doodle requests are still A Thing, commissions are still a thing (if you have one active I'll be getting to them this & next week), and I'll be streaming wherever I can to pull together money that way - wherever it comes, any support is HUGE and I mean that.

UPDATE 6/11/23: I am updating the original post to remove the ko-fi link and yet you fine folks know: HOLY HECK, y'all managed to get my tuition dealt with. words truly cannot express my gratitude for that - I'm so, so, SO humbled and thankful for everyone who came out to get me out of a really rough situation.

in the slightest, smallest attempt to pay forward the kindness i've been shown, I'm gonna try and use this moment to direct y'alls attention to some other folks I know who could use some kindness! hardly comprehensive, in no particular order, just top-of-my-mind type type beat. (note that these are all folks' twitter handles - some of 'em are on tumblr too, but I figure best to direct you to where I know they are 100%!)

@/Pochiyaki is a friend & artist who's been trying to get out of a bad money situation a while, and could definitely use some love!

@/rudeboimonster is similarly a dear friend who's been struggling to find long-term work and housing, anything you got would help.

Or, considering supporting the work of a creative you love! A few I've been loving lately that I'd recommend:

@/cosmignon (Runaway Draikana webcoming, and other comics and illustration work)

@/SynthCharmVA (voicework & writing/show development)

@/Tonya_Song (music - including vocals, piano and composition - plus education and activism work)

@/jaypg_art (character design, visdev, and illustration)

@/littlegoodfrog (Matchmaker and other comics)

@/winonaparadise (Girls With Horns and other comics/illustration work)

@/derekmballard (comics, including the upcoming Cartoonshow graphic novel)

@/_PartyCoffin_ (Welcome Home, and just about every art form you can conceive of)

and of course, if you're not following & supporting my amazing partner @/hollowtones, who helped me through this tough situation in every possible way - well you ought to be!! a delight and talent in every imaginable way, and I'm only a little biased on that.

and above all else... THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!

#anonymous puzzler talks #if you are able or willing to signal boost this as well it's deeply appreciated #i love my school but they have a horrible habit of waiting until the last possible moment to tell you that you have to pay for something #and then not giving you any options to finance it #so unless you've been checking the finance portal on your own Multiple Times A Day with no indication of if or when something will change #You Are Just Fucked

[monstersandmaw]

Feel free to ignore this until you have the logistics of it all figured out but if and when you do open commissions again

1. First come, first served kinda deal? Whichever ideas appease the inspiration gods the most?

2. Are the prices still gonna match with what's linked on your bio or are you planning on making changes to those??

3. In the same vein of topic, do you have any sort of price minimum or maximum? Or anything else that isn't already on that page that might affect pricing?

4. Are you gonna be accepting them through tumblr? Patreon? Ko-fi? Email? Some mix of the four?

But no matter what, your writing is incredible and makes me go insane and if I get a slot u best believe a first officer ornorx sequel is coming your way

And to all the other soliders out there who will be fighting for a slot godspeed to yall and I look forward to railing monsters with you 🫡

Thank you for this! All the info on my commissions can be found on the Ko-fi listing (which I should have shared earlier so people who haven't had a commission from me in the past can peruse it!). It seems to have worked perfectly for previous rounds, even though there are other ways of going about it...

first come first served, but with so much interest (thank you!!), I'll definitely set a date and time when they'll open, which I'll share on here and put in my pinned post so people know in advance. No planned date yet (need to get my shit in order first!).

prices are linked on the ko-fi listing

minimum is £5 for a 500 word story, up to £50 for a 5000 word story. I'm not writing more than that this time, otherwise it's an overwhelming amount of work.

accepting only through the ko-fi listing, and once this round has sold out, that's it. One purchase per person too, please.

The only thing that will change is that the stories will be posted for free on Patreon instead of on Tumblr, since I'm not sharing new work on Tumblr anymore due to the whole AI scraping thing. You will not have to pay to access these commissions on Patreon though, and they won't go up on early release or anything. They'll just go straight up, for free.

I should really change the commissions info page here on Tumblr to reflect the new setup, so thanks for the reminder! Hope that answers your questions, but if not, feel free to drop by again!

Life Update + Commissions!

Hey y'all! So here's a life update because right now, it's fucking hell on earth:

I'm going through major financial instability in my life, and as a college student, it's really hitting hard. Parents are out of a job, and my college just implemented a salary earnings cap for student jobs, which honestly I think is stupid and cruel to low-income students like me. On top of that, where I live, students can't work part time jobs outside of university, which would make it even more (and already) extremely difficult for me to cover my living expenses, let alone tuition fees.

After talking to some of my friends in this community about what I could do to keep myself afloat (and try to keep paying for my studies), and after getting some advice on how to proceed, I have decided to open up writing commissions.

To start, here is how it's gonna work with me:

Firstly, send me a message. You could do it over here on Tumblr, that's fine, but I'd much prefer it if you could message me on Discord, since I'm more reachable there. This makes things a lot easier for us to talk through your ideas and delve deeper into them, really flesh them out, and figure things out before I start writing.

Do NOT send me commission requests through asks.

Second, make sure to properly read through my rules below. Pricing details are set out below (rule 4), so make sure to keep that in mind when you're sending a request and when we're in discussion.

The number of commissions I will take on at at time will depend on a number of factors:

balancing my writing with college assignments & priorities

my level of interest

my writing mood / mental health

I'll make sure to provide updates on when I'm open to them or not.

Okay, now that those are out of the way, here are the very important rules that need to be taken in consideration.

The Transforming Commission Rules:

1. I reserve the right to refuse writing commissions.

Beside the above-mentioned reasons for the number of commissions I'm willing to take; or regardless of the reason; or for no given reason, no means no. Flat out.

I may not like the idea. Maybe I'm busy with classes, life or other commissions. Or perhaps my mental health's taken a downwards spin and/or I'm just not in the mood to write at the moment.

Make no mistake, if you pester me and ask if I've reconsidered your idea, I will simply just block you, no questions asked. If you want to politely ask again if my classes/time/mood were the issue for my saying no, I'd be more than happy to talk things out.

Also, please keep in mind that besides writing stories and my college classes, I have a life too. If you message me about a commission and I don't respond immediately, I'm either just busy or asleep.

I'll make sure to reply to those that inquire, it might just take me a sec.

2. Be as creative as possible, but also use your common sense.

As a creative writing student, I'm gonna be hard on this: one-sentence commission requests that just say "Make me into a twink!" or "Turn me into a frat bro!" will more than likely get refused. That said, try to make your request a little more compelling for me.

Come up with a plot summary, throw some more tf's in there, maybe add a delicious plot twist that would subvert a part of your idea, . I can only write so many of one type of tf story - they're fun, but don't make me bored sick of writing any more of them.

Also, be conscientious and realistic about the length you want. I'm no literary god with unlimited time, and I definitely can't fit a heavily descriptive tf AND a good plot in just 1,000 words.

If you're feeling insane super generous, or more supportive to help me out, and want to commission longer pieces (more than 3,000 words), we can talk more about it when you make the request.

3. I have limits. Push them and our deal's off.

Some of these are without question:

Underage characters / tf's (you will immediately get blocked if you make such a request).

Feet

Violence / pain / rape / non-consensual acts

Homophobic tf's (refer to my repost of @idesofrevolution's post - they've explained it better than I ever could)

Chastity

Unrealistic sizes

Animal tf's

Celebrity tf's (more details below)

I'm primarily a male tf writer, so gender tf is fine, but a heavily female focused story is a nope from me.

Don't even think to ask, I simply will not write them.

As much as I used to include them in my previous stories (especially with TF College), I won't generally do celebrity tf's anymore (i.e. stuff like "Turn me into Henry Cavill!") There may be a lot of very sexy celebrities around, and as hot as it may be to become them, I've had my fair share of writing those stories to the point where I'm done with them. Writing up original characters are more my thing these days - I'm a creative writing major, after all.

There is, of course, some flexibility with this, so if you have an idea but aren't completely sure, you can always ask me. If the idea is compelling enough -- and the guy hot enough -- maybe I'll make an exception. That's much better than getting rejected.

4. Payment & Delivery.

See, as much as I'm struggling right now, I'm not inconsiderate either - I know I'm not the only writer going through shit. I also know people aren't gonna dish out money to completely cover my life and instantly get me out of this hellish rut.

That said, I charge $0.04/word (for my British friends, £0.03/word). That's $40 (£30) per 1,000 words, or $20 (£15) for 500 words.

Payment is via PayPal. In full, up front. I will not begin writing until I've been paid.

When it comes to format of delivery, I will send you a pdf of the final story, provided you give me an email to send the pdf to (unless you' message me on Discord, for which I can just send the pdf to you directly).

5. Use of Images & Posting on Public.

The final say on any images included in these commissions are up to you. You're completely welcome to bring your own images to for me to write around, but if you don't have any, I'm happy to try and find some I feel fit the particular story if you'd like me to.

Then again, I can't make any promises. If I can't find image(s) that fit, or you don't like the ones I provide, I won't climb every mountain or cross every stream to find something. These are writing commissions in the end, so keep that in mind.

I'll also give you the final word on posting these commissions here on Tumblr. If you specifically don't want me to post yours, please say so during the process. If you say nothing, I may end up posting some of them after they've been delivered.

If you're okay for me to post the commission, but would like to remain anonymous (as in not get tagged on the post), make sure to let me know that too. This is an easy one to forget, so I'll be reaching out to you on posting after I've delivered it.

- Drew the Transformer

P.S. Don't forget, you can also tip me over on ko-fi, if you can't or don't want to commission! Seriously, any support during this very difficult time is always welcome, but I'll also understand if you can't.

Icon Art!

So, once again, I'm very sorry that I haven't been around lately. I've been busy with school (why in God's name is the final stretch always the hardest? I swear to God...), but there's something I wanna share with you guys which I haven't, and which if you're not in the Discord or check the forum thread, you might not have seen, but...

I commissioned Erineas a few months back to do the official Icons for A Tale of Heroes! You can see the incredible, amazing, insanely beautiful piece that Erineas made here:

Very cute, yeah? Well, I have two other things to show you, but it's just gonna be very small teasers, hehehehe.

First, I didn't just commission Erineas to do the Icon above. She also made one for the Broken King and the Blitz Queen. I'm not gonna show you them, of course, but here's a small snippet so you know I definitely did get it:

And second:

Ignis is shocked. Shocked, I say! Can you guess why? What has brought the heir of the Coltello Empire to astonished silence?

If you can't guess, just wait a bit: This is the final scene of Chapter 8: The Princess' Birthday!

not Exactly slop. longass ramble about an art/creation thing that annoys me a lil

Alright, so.

My mentality on art/creation has kind of changed a lot in the past few years, I'd like to think it was for the better? I have a pal to thank for that change in mindset; osmosed that while he was giving advice to another friend of mine.

One of the biggest takeaways being: DO IT MAKE YOUR SHIT OR NO ONE ELSE WILL DO IT EVEN IF IT SUCKS YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS NOW OR IT WILL NEVER EXIST.

There's definitely a better way to phrase it, but that's the jist of it, right? Where am I going with this?

Well, it's something that's always kind of broke my heart art-wise in the past, but now it's something that I find myself growing oddly spiteful over nowadays?

That being: people who never try to do anything.

Once again, there exists MUCH BETTER, more empathetic ways to phrase this, but I'm spitting out thoughts and I'll continue to vomit them up until I feel this wall of text is sufficient enough.

(i do empathize with that though dysfunction suuuucks ass man)

Anyways, the focus of my attention isn't on dysfunction, but rather complacency. Getting stuck in a repetitive cycle that just Completely stunts artistic growth.

This mostly applies to a certain "genre" of person I've been exposed to in my life, and if by happenstance you know what I'm referring to, apologies if this hits close to home? I'm not saying anyone's gotta be pumping out Hyperdetailed Megashit Terabyte Masterpieces or anything, but pushing yourself every now and then is like, the only way you're gonna get better at something y'know?

Which is why in recent years, it's been annoying seeing these same people continue to rely on the same character creator tool for fuckin yeaaaaaaaaaaaaars man.

Like I understand using one to get an idea for a design, right? That's fine and dandy, more power to you. But if every single one of your character ends up looking Exactly The Same because there's like Only One Fucking Template it just ends up looking like this to outsiders.

Of course this is neglecting if they're like, solely using them to commissioning others, so take it with a grain of salt.

It's such a benign thing to get pissed at yeah, but I won't lie! It just makes my skin crawl sometimes! Especially the specific character creator being used. I feel like I wouldn't mind as much if it were a picrew or Literally Anything Else.

maybe it's just the character creator i'm mad at then? dunno. at least it's not ai.

Point is, everyone can make art. It came free with your humanity.

Please don't squander that latent creativity in your soul by relying on these tools forever. You can make something, even if it seems impossible. Pick up a pencil. Chalk. Pen. Fucking ANything PLEASE for the love of god MAKE SOMETHING.

Ayooo, wilbur choco late~ au!

Saw in the tiny workers au the idea of eating tinies with food! Does Wilbur eventually try it out or is it too ptsd inducing with the bad memories?

Alsoooooo, does he ever start getting along with Sbi?

I feel like Tommy would spoil Wilbur, since borrowing sounds like surviving and not thriving, and love to hear your ideas of whatever Tiny furniture he would have to like commission or make himself😁

However im sure Wilbur would start to both feel very touched and also guilty, since he can't buy stuff for himself🥺 maaybbee he starts streaming to try and cover his own expenses? Or any other possible job for a tiny🤔

Im trying to get my thinking brain started, ideas are haaaarrrdd, and i don't even write anything 😂 kudos to you and other writers everywhere, i think i started a story in 2015 and never looked at it again. You guys are epic🙌

beloved !!!!!!1!!!!1!1

oh gosh yes i absolutely love that idea for tiny workers >:D

but jeeeez for wilbur chocolate?? wilbur definitely stays away from food for as long as he can, and he dreads conversations about eating. tommy still forces wilbur to eat, because this man has been living off of chocolate for god knows how long, he needs something else. wilbur gets off fine hydrating because he really missed that, but food he struggles with, because when he chews on something that doesn't have the consistency and subtle taste of cocoa beans, it's hard to convince himself it's not just a fantasy.

tommy also avoids eating around wilbur. he takes meals to his room or wherever he knows wil wouldn't often go and makes it obvious he's about to start eating if he doesn't directly warn wilbur.

wow i totally did not answer the question there lmfao

the answer is no, wilbur would not try it. tommy would also never put wilbur in a situation even if wilbur insisted that he was ready,,,

mm things with emduo are a little bit slow, mainly because wilbur is hesitant to approach them. techno's definitely the most standoffish and doesn't want anything to do with wilbur, while phil just occasionally side-eyes wilbur at times.

phil, after realizing on his own that tommy probably won't be letting wil go any time soon, tries his hardest to overcome his prejudice against wilbur. he forces himself to find a time where wilbur is alone to try and talk to wilbur. i'm probably gonna write this so i'll keep some stuff private :)

aand for techno they don't ever really interact with each other, but in the rare occasion that they do, they click even faster than wilbur did with tommy--it's like instantly. (twinsduo my lovely beloved duo <3)

oh yes tommy would absolutely do that, especially after what wil's been through. wilbur is very hesitant with dark spaces so tommy buys a nightlight for his room and wilbur sleeps near there, and tommy spends hours looking for tiny furniture before he just ends up going to a craft store to find miniatures

and yes wilbur would feel absolutely terrible because tommy does this with his own money and never asks his family for help with it (tommy doubts they'd ever do that) so he does eventually ask tommy to like...take it down a notch

ohhhhh that streaming idea is adorableee but for this au tiny technology is more expensive than human technology, so before wilbur can even consider doing that he'd need a normal job first. which honestly is an unreasonably hard thing to find because c'mon who's going to employ a tiny if not another tiny who can't start a business if they have no money and they won't get money without finding a job but jobs won't hire tinies so they need to get hired by a tiny but there are no businesses by tinies because the cycle keeps on repeating and repeating (pff idk why i typed that there's water coursing through my veins for the first time in days so i'm hyper on water rn)

and plus wilbur is very unsure about the humans he lets employ him. some of them give off "sketchy vibes" and some of them just look off. but eventually wilbur does find a job (don't make me say bc i cannot think rn just shhhhh it'll come to me someday)

oh i totally get that

fic ideas come to me like that but worldbuilding stuff is hardd sometimes

no judgement, i've given up on so many fics. but i also have reopened a lot of those! it's never too late to start :D

and don't even worry whenever you do send in an ask you give the most godly, perfect ideas so it's definitely worth the wait C:<

#brickquiries #graci brickling #wilbur chocolate au #tw mention of food play #like vore food play not sex food play cause nuhuh that's very bad #cw vore implication/mention #(edit) i just realized i tagged this tiny workers;;;;;;; my bad :'D

(Fake ASMR Commission) Neko Girl Tries To Earn Your Trust [Tiny Mouse Person Listener]

------------------------------------------------------------

"Hmmm... It's noon. I guess I'll have lunch now. I think I'm in the mood for a toasted pita. Yeah. That sounds pretty good."

"Just need the pita bread, tomatoes, broccoli &... Where's the cheese?"

...

"Where the heck did the cheese go? I know I just bought a whole block recently. I don't go through it that quickly. That's weird."

"What the-... What's it doing on the floor? And... Moving?!"

"WOAH! Oh My God! What the hell?! Who are you?!"

"Wait, come back! Don't run away! We can talk!"

"Please... Just let me pick you up... Hold still... Ngh! Gotcha! Jeez, fiesty little thing, aren't you?"

"You don't need to struggle so much. I'm not gonna-... AAHH!! OW! Hey! Why'd you bite me?!"

"Oh God... I just dropped you. I'm so sorry. Really sorry! That looked like it hurt. Are you okay?"

"Where are you going? Why aren't you saying anything? Hey, wait!"

"Damn. They hid in a hole in the wall. I didn't even notice that was there until now. Just who are they anyway? I saw mouse ears & a tail. But they looked like a person. And they're so small. I was able to hold them in my hand for a moment."

"Yeesh, I'll definitely be feeling that bite later. That really stung. They're clearly terrified of me, but I can't just ignore them. Just because they're out of sight doesn't mean they're out of mind."

...

"Hey... I know you're afraid of me, but I swear I mean you no harm. Are you okay?"

...

"Telling me to go away isn't a valid answer. You clearly got hurt when you fell & I wanted to know if you need anything. What can I do to help?"

...

"I can... Leave. Sigh... Okay. Sorry for bothering you. I'll give you some time alone for now. But I will be back to ask questions later. I can't just pretend like you don't exist."

"But before I go... Here. I'll put some cheese through the hole. Just please don't bite my hand again."

...

"Okay! Okay. I'm going now. Just enjoy your cheese & get some rest."

"Whew... That was... An experience. There's a little mouse person living in my house. Poor thing. They probably think I'm a gigantic horrifying monster."

"Although... I am a cat girl. And cats are... Natural predators of mice."

"This is gonna be difficult."

.....*The Next Day*.....

"Well... Guess I should check up on them. They won't like it, but I have to try. They need to get used to me."

"Hey, are you awake in there?"

...

"I told you yesterday. I was going to check up on you again. If you're going to live in the walls of my house then you need to get used to my presence. I'll do everything in my power to prove that I'm not a threat."

"Would like some more cheese?"

...

"No, It's not a trap. How can I trap you by giving you food through a hole in the wall? Now do you want cheese or not? It's a simple Yes or No question."

...

"See? That wasn't so hard, now was it? Here's your cheese. Please don't bite my hand."

"Okay, good."

...

"No, I'm not fattening you up so I can eat you later. That's ridiculous. You're the one who wanted cheese in the first place, remember?"

...

"So anyway... Can you tell me about yourself?"

...

"So distrusting. You realize if I actually had any ill intent, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. What part of 'I'm not your enemy.' do you not understand?"

...

"Okay, fine. I'll let you eat your cheese in peace. But I'll be back to talk again shortly. I need you to feel comfortable around me."

....*Some Time Later*.....

"I'm back. How are you feeling?"

...

"Better. That's good. You gave me a direct answer this time. That's progress right there."

"So tell me about yourself. What's going on exactly?"

...

"You've been traumatized by cats. Like, actual cats? I'm sure you noticed this, but I'm a neko. I'm mostly human, but with a fluffy tail & fuzzy cat ears. Just like how you're mostly human as well, but with the ears & tail of a mouse. And of course... You're very small. It's cute. I'd like to hold you in the palm of my hand. Preferably without being bitten again. I doubt you'd let me do that though."

"So what exactly do you mean? Did you have a traumatic experience?"

...

"Oh... Ooohhh... Oh My God... You lost your family in an encounter with a stray. And you're the only one who survived."

...

"I... I... Aaahhh... Wow, that's... Holy crap. I'm so sorry to hear that. That's worse than terrible. That's the most depressing news I've ever heard someone tell me. I don't think there's anything I can say to make you feel better."

...

"You don't need my pity. But I... I just want to help you. I feel so bad for you."

...

"Okay. I'll leave you alone again. Take some more cheese before I go. And here. Take some tomato, broccoli & pita bread as well. I was making this for lunch when I initially discovered you. You need variety in your diet to stay healthy. Whether you trust me or not, you need to understand that I care about your well-being. I promise to take great care of you. This is our home now. Not just mine."

.....*The Next Day*.....

"Another day in the House of Mouse. The Mousehold."

...

"Did I just hear laughter inside that wall? Hold on..."

"Hey, I know I just heard you laugh. It was the mouse puns, wasn't it?"

...

"You don't need to deny it, silly. You found my dialog humorous. That's adorable! Are you finally warming up to me?"

...

"You don't know. Eh, I guess that's fair. I know you're still afraid of cats. I get that. But remember. I'm not an actual cat. I'm a person. A humanoid with feline attributes. Does it make you feel better knowing that?"

...

"A little. Well, at least I'm getting somewhere."

"Ooh, actually. Here's something that might interest you. Have you seen the various forms of media that portray elephants being afraid of mice?"

...

"Well, I've always wondered where that trope came from. Is that even a real thing? It just seems so bizarre to me. Imagine that. You; a tiny mouse person scaring off a mighty elephant. It doesn't make any sense, but it's so funny to think about."

...

"Oh, you want some water. Of course. I don't think you've drank any over the past two days. I'm sorry I didn't offer any earlier. It somehow completely slipped my mind. I'm glad you asked."

...

"Here you go. Drink up, little one. Everyone needs to stay hydrated."

"You know, I really want to look at you again. You've been in that cramped hole for a while. It must be terribly boring in there. Do you still not feel like coming out yet? I have television, the Internet... Anything you could think of to entertain yourself with."

...

"You need some more time. I understand. I'll check back tomorrow, is that alright?"

...

"Great. If you need anything, just give me a shout. Don't worry. These ears hear everything. No matter how small you are."

.....*The Next Day*.....

"Good Morning, little one! How are-..."

"Oh... OH! You... You actually came out. I can finally see you again. I nearly forgot what you looked like."

...

"You finally decided to be brave. That's... Haha... That's so sweet. It's about time you gathered the courage to talk to me. I was wondering when you'd come around."

"But I shouldn't have to look all the way down there to talk to you. Nor should you have to look all the way up here at me. We should be equals. And there's only one way to do that."

...

"I know you're nervous, but I really want to do this. May I please pick you up? I'll be exceptionally gentle with you. I promise."

...

"I can see you trembling. If you want to back out, that's fine. I'm sorry if I'm making you feel pressured."

...

"You want me to do it. Yes! You're so brave! I'm so proud of you! I'll reach down to grab you now. Please remain calm. Nothing bad is going to happen to you. I swear."

"Easy... Carefully... Slowly... Wow, you're so light in my hand. I can barely feel your weight."

...

"You're alright. You're perfectly fine. Just look me in the eyes. Or whichever eye you want. I know my eyes are enormous to you. *giggle*"

"So how does my palm feel?"

...

"Soft & warm. As it should be. How are you feeling? Are you calming down?"

...

"Still a bit tense. I know just the thing for that. I'll brush your hair with my finger. Just close your eyes & take it all in."

*give Swedish Fish Kun a job. it's time for some brushing sounds.*

"There, there... Just let all of your stress & anxiety melt away."

*just keep brushing*

"You are loved & cared for. My home is your home. You are safe here. That is a promise I swear to never break."

*okay. you can stop brushing now. thanks Swedish Fish Kun.*

"So... Was my mission successful? Have I finally earned your trust?"

...

"Yay! Mission accomplished. I hope you enjoy your time here. I'll set up a better living space for you so you don't have to live in that claustrophobic wall anymore. You deserve something much more comfortable."

"Ahhh... Damnit. I just suppressed the urge to give you a kiss. I don't think you would've reacted well to me holding you so close to my mouth."

...

"You just want me to do it. Really? Well then. Don't mind if I do. Here come the giant lips."

*kiss*

"Welcome to your new life, little one."

hallow household update 1

kinda lots have happened. i didnt know if i was gonna update each time they got old but i think its better. oh well.

Anabel:

became a young adult. became an adult.

reached lvl 10 in gardening.

got married. got divorced.

got a greenhouse built just for her.

i love seasons but gardening is a nightmare without a greenhouse. also shes really close to fulfilling her lifetime wish of growing 8 perfect plants. i'm pretty sure it has to be 8 perfect plants at the same time which sucks, because i'm pretty sure she has grown enough perfect plants by now -_-. also, i need to make her a wife.

Ben:

became an adult.

fulfilled his lifetime wish of reaching lvl 5 in 4 different carreers (business, political, criminal and law enforcement)

is a 3 star celebrity

stopped dating around (because i had him focus on his carreer)

i dont know what im gonna do with him now! i'll definitely put him in some part-time job because he loves to work, the weirdo.

Vance:

became an adult.

got romantically involved with a papparazzi after a love charm accident.

got romantically involved with an alien because i wanted to talk to the alien (didn't work)

got romantically involved with Connor Frio because he was nice to Vance.

reached lvl 10 in alchemy.

is lvl 9 in spellcasting and by god i'm gonna have him reach lvl 10 and zombify the town's entire graveyard for his lifetime wish.

i tried to go to the easy route by creating the potent zombie potion but i have collected many beetles but none of them are the one necessary for the potion so i gave up. also he's really lonely because spellcasting is a NIGHTMARE!!!!!! and i make him practice all day everyday. i'm making him cast pestilence in random sims and then cure them with the sunlight charm. apparently i have not been 100% successful as there are sick sims running around. oops!

im gonna make him into a vampire with a potion and have him reclaim the immortal perk. or just claim the age freeze perk.

Camilo:

blinked when i took his profile photo. he still has dark brown eyes.

became a young adult.

reached lvl 10 in sculpting and painting.

is lvl 8 in inventing. gonna make him lvl 10 and complete his lifetime wish.

completed a commission for some office and became a celebrity so i used cheat and made him a peasant again. theres enough papparazis on the house already.

the only one in this house who gives me an easy time. bless vampires for having fast skill gain. i'm not happy with his clothes but idk what to put on him.

i gave him the irrestible trait on his birthday but it's not him At All, so i might replace it with the Good trait.

Darius:

became a young adult.

reached lvl 10 in athletic.

is lvl 9 at fishing.

met the unicorn.

became best friends with ben and anabel because the unicorn requires 3 BFFs in order to invite them into the household (it's darius lifetime wish)

i then realized young adults cant have BFFs. so i adopted a cat. because sims can become BFFs with animals.

meet Helmer. who has 3 beds but decided to sleep on the bathroom floor. i love him, obviously.

i might need to move them out when the unicorn moves in because it is getting pretty crowded on the lot. no space for running and galloping. plus i'm gonna have to adopt 2 more pets.

anabel's gardening, darius' fishing, ben's constant promotions and paychecks and camilo's arts have made the household super wealthy. they have 40k simoleons right now. plus the house is at 50k? or something. so they're pretty well off, thankfully.

[jupitercl0uds]

please for the love of god talk to me about fonts. please i’m so serious i need to get infodumped at about this

this is mostly technical stuff but then again i am obviously an artist so i might bring up more artsy stuff

also this is going off the top of my head so some aspects may be inaccurate!!! particularly the stuff about pre-digital fonts!!!

while fonts have kinda existed as long as writing, they really started to properly exist around the time of the printing press, in the 1400s. then, in the victorian era, they invented the typewriter. these obviously had plenty of benefits to society as a whole, but i'm kinda gonna just. overlook that. cause it doesnt really matter here.

while the printing press didn't really have 1 font, typewriters did have a standard font, as i'm sure youre aware. in america (and plenty of other countries), this was american typewriter, which you can still use today!

fun fact: there's a good change your favourite font predates digital fonts!!! some examples are times new roman, papyrus and (as i said earlier) american typewriter

in the 80s, paste up, a long tedious process where you would have to cut out and paste everything onto a grid by hand, was rendered obsolete, because of the growing use of home computers. 3 companies (apple, microsoft and adobe) play a giant role in everything because capitalism.

while apple was the most popular at first, you probably already know that microsoft would then dominate the market, offering alongside itself all those wonderful little microsoft office programs i know so well. all of these companies had a big design rivalry, and like most rivalries of that kind, they've definitely died down a bit by now. don't get me wrong, they're still competitors, so they're still gonna have their discrepancies, but microsoft and apple aren't design companies, so they're kinda just. eh.

they also had SO MANY BAD THINGS about them. did you know that arial shouldn't exist? oh and by the way, i HATE arial. its so ugly. its an eyesore. same with helvetica, though i think i prefer arial.

arial was created specifically to imitate the ever-successful helvetica, which is why the two fonts look so similar. you see, apple owned the rights to helvetica and microsoft wanted it for themself, so, they commissioned a very very similar font instead. i believe there was a legal issue over here in europe that never happened in the usa, because if you can create the same product in a different way in the usa, you can get the same patent. the same rule does not apply in the eu. there are differences between helvetica and arial, but they are predominantly in the way they're drawn. i dont have my graphic design program installed right now, so i cant give a good visual demonstration, but i'll try to explain.

basically, in vector graphics, there's always multiple ways to create the same image. for example, if i want to make a circle, i can use 4 rounded vertices or i could use 5 and still get the same image.

anyway, this is what microsoft did for the majority of the letters, with a few exceptions, such as capital G. also i believe the kerning and spacing is slightly different??? btw, kerning is like complicated spacing. it's specifically the space between 2 characters rather than the entire body of text.

then theres the file formats.

it's important to know the difference between bitmap and vector. if you draw, you're probably using bitmap, if you design, you're probably using vector. in adobe terms, photoshop is bitmap while illustrator is vector.

bitmap is typically easier and more standard for general images, for example when a vector image is exported as an image, all the most common image files (png, gif, jpg, hell even webp*) are bitmap.

*i hate webp files a lot.

however, vector can give you a more crisp image in a more lightweight manor. whats more, no matter how large you make your bitmap image, when you zoom in enough, you will eventually start to see the pixels. that isn't the case for vector graphics, because it specifically stores the instructions for how to make an image rather than the actual image itself.

so, when everyone's been using bitmap fonts and then suddenly adobe come out with these amazing new otf files, which use vector over bitmap, everyone wants in. the main issue?

what is always adobe's biggest problem? that's right,

CORPORATE GREED 🎉🎉🎉

adobe paywalled otf files, so what did apple and microsoft do? apple created ttf files, which is basically the same thing as an otf file, and also gave them to microsoft for completely free. this then pressured adobe into releasing otf files to the public, too. funnily enough, while both file formats are commonly used, it's probably more likely that you use TTF files in your everyday life.

while i have more to say (because i ALWAYS have more to say), that's all i can at the moment. as i said, fonts have a very rich history and that's only the tip of the iceberg!!!

First off, can I be 🌟, and Fatui! Xiao, I'm interested 👀

Fatui!Xiao Headcanons || SAGAU Xiao x Reader

Absolutely you can!! It’s nice to meet you 🌟!! Also,, here we go, fatui xiao :)

Part of this is gonna be copy pasted from another post of mine because I’m not sure if anyone saw it lol

Also!! This was supposed to come out yesterday but I got a bit carried away with my drawing so I hope yall like that too lol

Warnings: SAGAU, obsessive/cult behavior, mentions of past abuse/torture, fatui!xiao, fatui!reader

First off, here’s my drawing of Fatui!Xiao (if you’re on mobile you’re going to have to tap on it because i think tumblr destroyed the quality lol)

Headcanons under the cut

— — — — — — —

Fatui!Xiao doesn’t change much from the regular Xiao. The only difference now is that he doesn’t do anything for anyone other than himself and darling anymore. Like, you know how he tells the traveller to call and he’ll be there? Yeah, that’s not a thing anymore for anyone except darling.

At first, he does cover up from the cold, but he finds that all the layers of the bulky clothing you’ve asked him to wear makes him a bit slower. It’s barely noticeable; only a fraction of his speed has decreased, but he notices it and he doesn’t like it. So he goes back to wearing his regular clothes and finds that the cold really has no effect on him. He figures it’s because of your sheer desire for him to stay warm, and once again he thanks you for your divine presence.

So he’s not cold anymore, but he sticks close to you. As time goes on, he eventually shows you the markings that he was born with but have been damaged by his past. Instead of reacting with anger or disgust, though, you ask him if he’s okay and comfort him. And he starts to hate himself a bit less. It’s around this time that you two get your custom fatui outfits commissioned, and he chooses to get his looking like that. It combines aspects of both his old outfit and the Fatui uniforms.

Him showing off his markings isn't just about him looking cooler. It's also that his markings aren't what they used to look like. Before, they were clear and crisp and vibrant, almost like works of art across his skin.

After his time with Osial, though, the marks have changed. Osial hated the fact that Xiao was blessed with divine marks and would tear them off over and over again until they were unrecognizable once the skin and flesh finally grew back. They're warped and faded, and you can't tell what they used to look like.

His marks are also damaged by all the scars he has covering his body, so the reason he always covered his arms (why he always wore his old gloves) is because he was ashamed of the way they looked now. He thought his ruined markings were a sign of his god abandoning him. Why would anyone want something so damaged and ugly? He's grown to hate his own body and the way it's been ruined, so he covers it all up. It gets to a point where people have forgotten he even has them. Even Morax has forgotten that he has them.

So him showing them now isn't just about looking hot (although that's definitely part of my reasoning tho lmao), it's also a show of devotion to his god, and his way of learning to love (or at least not hate) his own body again.

Xiao in the fatui is a horrifying concept for everyone involved, except maybe Xiao and darling. Xiao’s not known by mortals; none know either of his names, and no one really knows who he is, but everyone knows about the legends of the last light of the god. And now that Xiao is here, markings and scars and light on display, there’s no denying who he is. And all the markings on his body, cut through and warped by scars, go to show how powerful he is, to have been through as much as he has and to still come out alive.

The thing about Xiao is that, as stated many times before, he is loyal to no archon or nation, only to darling. So the real difference would be determined by you and how you choose to treat him.If you want him to be a ruthless murderer, he’ll do it. But if you want him to be the somewhat soft boyfriend that he’s depicted as in some fics? It’ll be hard, but he’ll definitely try.

He does hold somewhat of a level of respect for the harbingers and Tsaritsa. Of course, considering he pretty much hates everyone else in Teyvat right now, it’s not that big of an achievement.

He and Childe get along better now than they did before. They’re still not friends or anything, but they do have a sense of mutual respect. Also, now that they’re getting along somewhat, Xiao occasionally entertains Childe’s demands to fight. Of course, he doesn’t have to put that much effort into it (given by how I destroy Childe in minutes lmao) but it’s still a satisfying fight for both of them. Especially when their wonderful God is cheering them on from the sidelines.

He’s allowed to attend meetings with the Tsaritsa and the harbingers. They’ve been plotting ways to make the other nations pay for what they’ve done to you. He stays in the meetings and gives them ideas from time to time or tells them when one of their plans is something you wouldn’t like. They listen to him because, despite how much they envy him, they know that he’s your favorite and he knows you better than anyone else in Teyvat.

Basically, he’s more willing to hurt people now so long as you ask him to, and most of the fatui are either envious of his position as your personal guard and favorite, afraid of him since you can tell how experienced he is in battle by just looking at him now, or some mix of both. And also, him and the harbingers and the Tsaritsa are plotting revenge for you.

[shkspr]

hi. on your post where you may or may not have ended on 'moffat is either your angel or your devil' did you have maybe an elaboration on that somewhere that i could possibly hear about. i'm very much a capaldi era stan and i've never tried to defend the matt smith era even though it had delightful moments sometimes so i wonder where that puts me. i'd love to hear your perspective on moffat as a person with your political perspective. -nicole

hi ok sorry i took so long to respond to this but i dont think you know how LOADED this question is for me but i am so happy to elaborate on that for you. first a few grains of salt to flavor your understanding of the whole situation: a. im unfairly biased against moffat bc im a davies stan and a tennant stan; b. i still very much enjoy and appreciate moffat era who for many reasons; and c. i hate moffat on a personal level far more than i could ever hate his work.

the thing is that its all always gonna be a bit mixed up bc i have to say a bunch of seemingly contradictory things in a row. for instance, a few moffat episodes are some of my absolute favorites of the rtd era, AND the show went way downhill when moffat took over, AND the really good episodes he wrote during the rtd era contained the seeds of his destruction.

like i made that post about the empty child/the doctor dances and it holds true for blink and thats about it bc the girl in the fireplace and silence in the library/forest of the dead are good but not nearly on the same level, and despite the fact that i like them at least nominally, they are also great examples of everything i hate about moffat and how he approached dw as a whole.

basically. doctor who is about people. there are many things about moffats tenure as showrunner that i think are a step up from rtd era who! actual gay people, for one! but i think that can likely be attributed mostly to an evolving Society as opposed to something inherent to him and his work, seeing as rtd is literally gay, and the existence of queer characters in moffats work doesnt mean the existence of good queer characters (ill give him bill but thats it!)

i have a few Primary Grievances with moffat and how he ran dw. all of them are things that got better with capaldi, but didnt go away. they are as follows:

moffat projects his own god complex onto the doctor

rtd era who had a doctor with a god complex. you cant ever be the doctor and not have a god complex. the problem with moffats era specifically is that the god complex was constant and unrepentant and was seen as a fundamental personality trait of the doctor rather than a demon he has to fight. he has the Momence where you feel bad for him, the Momence where he shows his humility or whatever and youre reminded that he doesnt want to be the lonely god, but those are just. moments. in a story where the doctor thinks hes the main character. rtd era doctor was aware that he wasnt the main character. he had to be an authority sometimes and he had to be the loner and he had to be sad about it, but he ultimately understood that he was expendable in a narrative sense.

this is how you get lines like “were the thin fat gay married anglican marines, why would we need names as well?” from the same show that gave you the gut punch moment at the end of midnight when they realize that nobody asked the hostess for her name. and on the one hand, thats a small sticking point, but on the other hand, its just one small example of the simple disregard that moffat has for humanity.

incidentally, this is a huge part of why sherlock sucked so bad: moffats main characters are special bc theyre so much bigger and better than all the normal people, and thats his downfall as a showrunner. he thinks that his audience wants fucking sheldon cooper when what they want is people.

like, ok. think of how many fantastic rtd era eps are based in the scenario “what if the doctor wasnt there? what if he was just out of commission for a bit?” and how those eps are the heart of the show!! bc theyre about people being people!! the thing is that all of the rtd era companions would have died for the doctor but he understood and the story understood that it wasnt about him.

this is like. nine sending rose home to save her life and sacrifice his own vs clara literally metaphysically entwining her existence w the doctor. ten also sending rose with her family to save her life vs river being raised from infancy to be obsessed w the doctor and then falling in love w him. martha leaving bc she values herself enough to make that decision vs amy being treated like a piece of meat.

and this is simultaneously a great callback to when i said that moffats episodes during the rtd era sometimes had the same problems as his show running (bc girl in the fireplace reeks of this), and a great segue into the next grievance.

moffat hates women

he hates women so fucking much. g-d, does steven moffat ever hate women. holy shit, he hates women. especially normal human women who prioritize their normal human lives on an equal or higher level than the doctor. moffat hated rose bc she wasnt special by his standards. the empty child/the doctor dances is the nicest he ever treated her, and she really didnt do much in those eps beyond a fuck ton of flirting.

girl in the fireplace is another shining example of this. youve got rose (who once again has another man to keep her busy, bc moffat doesnt think shes good enough for the doctor) sidelined for no reason only to be saved by the doctor at the last second or whatever. and then youve got reinette, who is pretty and powerful and special!

its just. moffat thinks that the doctor is as shallow and selfish as he is. thats why he thinks the doctor would stay in one place with reinette and not with rose. bc moffat is shallow and sees himself in the doctor and doesnt think he should have to settle for someone boring and normal.

not to mention rose met the doctor as an adult and chose to stay with him whereas reinette is. hm. introduced to the doctor as a child and grows up obsessed with him.

does that sound familiar? it should! bc it is also true of amy and river. and all of them are treated as viable romantic pairings. bc the only women who deserve the doctor are the ones whose entire existence revolves around him. which includes clara as well.

genuinely i think that at least on some level, not even necessarily consciously, that bill was a lesbian in part bc capaldi was too old to appeal to mainstream shippers. like twelve/clara is still a thing but not as universally appealing as eleven/clara but i am just spitballing. but i think they weighed the pros and cons of appealing to the woke crowd over the het shippers and found that gay companion was more profitable. anyway the point is to segue into the next point, which is that moffat hates permanent consequences.

moffat hates permanent consequences

steven moffat does not know how to kill a character. honestly it feels like hes doing it on purpose after a certain point, like he knows he has this habit and hes trying to riff on it to meme his own shit, but it doesnt work. it isnt funny and it isnt harmless, its bad writing.

the end of the doctor dances is so poignant and so meaningful and so fucking good bc its just this once! everybody lives, just this once! and then he does p much the same thing in forest of the dead - this one i could forgive, bc i do think that preserving those peoples consciousnesses did something for the doctor as a character, it wasnt completely meaningless. but everything after that kinda was.

rory died so many times its like. get a hobby lol. amy died at least once iirc but it was all a dream or something. clara died and was erased from the doctors memory. river was in prison and also died. bill? died. all of them sugarcoated or undone or ignored by the narrative to the point of having effectively no impact on the story. the point of a major character death is that its supposed to have a point. and you could argue that a piece of art could be making a point with a pointless death, ie. to put perspective on it and remind you that bad shit just happens, but with moffat the underlying message is always “i can do whatever i want, nothing is permanent or has lasting impact ever.”

basically, with moffat, tragedy exists to be undone. and this was a really brilliant, really wonderful thing in the doctor dances specifically bc it was the doctor clearly having seen his fair share of tragedy that couldnt be helped, now looking on his One Win with pride and delight bc he doesnt get wins like this! and then moffat proceeded to give him the same win over and over and over and over. nobody is ever dead. nobody is ever unable to be saved. and if they are, really truly dead and/or gone, then thats okay bc moffat has decided that [insert mitigating factor here]*

*the mitigating factor is usually some sort of computerized database of souls.

i can hear the moffat stans falling over themselves to remind me that amy and rory definitely died, and they did - after a long and happy life together, they died of old age. i dont consider that a character death any more than any other character choosing to permanently leave the tardis.

and its not just character deaths either, its like, everything. the destruction of gallifrey? never mind lol! character development? scrapped! the same episode four times? lets give it a fifth try and hope nobody notices. bc he doesnt know how to not make the doctor either an omnipotent savior or a self-pitying failure.

it is in nature of doctor who, i believe, for the doctor to win most of the time. like, it wouldnt be a very good show if he didnt win most of the time. but it also wouldnt be a very good show if he won all of the time. my point is that moffats doctor wins too often, and when he doesnt win, it feels empty and hollow rather than genuinely humbling, and you know hes not gonna grow from it pretty much at all.

so like. again, i like all of doctor who i enjoy all of it very much. i just think that steven moffat is a bad show runner and a decent writer at times. and it is frustrating. and im not here to convince or convert anyone im just living my truth. thank you for listening.

#sorry if this is repetitive or makes no sense or if i got some details of the show wrong #i simply couldnt be bothered to put too much effort into this post #lest it become a research paper and take me several weeks to answer #anyway thats all my opinions #dw #ok to rb

Yandere/Obsessive Xiao hcs

I haven't done my commissions and dailies and just finished studying science (im an art student wtf) so this is little bit of rush and is my first time writing for a character who is often overlooked by its fandom, sorry if it's out of character >< REQs are open! I'm sorry if I made some grammatical errors (English isn't my first language)

CW/TW: Obsessive behavior, yandere behavior, degrading

⌗. Expect him to be everywhere, when I say everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE like literally everywhere you go, he's always there

⌗. When someone wants to interact with you, he glares at them to scare them away

⌗. And when he's gone or is busy, he would still check on you

⌗. He would make sure that the people who touched you wouldn't see the light of the day

⌗. He always brings up excuses when you wonder where your family and friends wandered off to, he makes sure that you don't know what happened to them

⌗. And if you did found out, you'll be very frustrated and angry

“ WHY DID YOU DO THAT? THEY'RE MY FRIENDS. WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU?! ”

“ CAN'T YOU SEE THEY WERE HOLDING YOU BACK? IF I DON'T DO ANYTHING, THEY'LL TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME! ”

⌗. He realized he raised his voice at you and notices your tears running down.. you were scared, you feared him

⌗. He'll try to convince you to not leave him alone... you pitied him and decided to give him a chance (pls it's for the sake of the hcs)

⌗. Times passed and you guys have been dating for months now and you got uncomfy of him being with you at all times. So, you tried to confront him

⌗. Oh boy, get ready to have a heated argument about this again

⌗. He would tell why he should be with you at all times so that he can protect you

“ I'm doing this for your own good. Can't you see I'm just trying to protect you? ”

“ Don't you understand that it's my duty to protect liyue? Especially you.. I need to protect you ”

And if you're a vision holder

“ Just because you have a vision, doesn't mean you're strong enough to protect yourself. ”

“ You're weak. Stop resisting my protection ”

⌗. Obviously, as any other people, you would stand up for yourself. He didn't liked that attitude of yours, he didn't liked it when your opinions are opposing his, he despises your independency, he wants you to rely on him for god who knows how long

⌗. Because of that argument, both of you doesn't want to back down so, he's left with no other choice but to kidnap you and lock you out of the real world for the sake of your "safety"

⌗. One day, you suddenly lost conscious then BOOM! you woke up in a room in wangshu inn with your feet chained to a wall and your mouth covered with cloth to prevent you form screaming

⌗. Xiao opens the door to your room, holding a tray of food to feed you

“ good morning, my dove ”

⌗. A smile plastered to his face like he did nothing wrong, you were at the verge of crying cause who the hell wants to wake up, locked in a room and full of bruises?

⌗. Months passed and xiao realized how thin and weak you were getting, so weak to the point you look like you're gonna die. He decided to let you out for the first time and you decided to escape

⌗. You knew he is fast and were stupid for that but was desperate after months of being locked up

⌗. He expected something like that so he decided to play a little hide and seek with you

⌗. You don't know where you're going and in a blink of an eye he suddenly kissed you

⌗. You struggled as he tightens his hold around your arms, feeling the pain. That'll definitely leave a bruise

“ You were wrong for that ”

“ How can someone like you be so foolish and weak? This is what I told you. You're weak, fragile, delicate, frail, weedy, infirm.. without me, you would have been dead a long time ago so, please.. please stay with me, stop resisting my care for you, don't you love me? I thought you love me.. I can't lose you too, let me protect you. ”

*rolls on in a office chair* Hello wolf aonn here can I have a fnaf 1(seplily)x reader where the reader do art comisons? *rolls on out*

Hey! You can't just roll that thing through my café! You're gonna leave marks on the wooden floor! Ugh I just had that cleaned! Café drama set aside, I will have to tweek this ask, both in characters and change the reader to be a freelance artist.

The following ask is directed to take place after the events of the "Falling For A Security Guard" Asks except for Mangle, since no one has asked for them yet. Theirs will be written on another date.

=

Freddy w/ Freelance Artist S/O

- Like on any normal shift, Freddy would come in to see you to talk

- This time he saw you, with a drawing tablet

- "Hey S/O, what are you doing?" "OH! Oh god I forgot I was at work again...." "You ok?" "Yeah I'm fine Freddy, I'm just getting some art commissions out of the way." "You're an artist?" "A freelancing artist." "Ah so you do this for extra income." "Exactly."

- He'd actually take some interest in what you were drawing pretty often

- "Hey Freddy can I get you to stand still for a little while?" "Why?" "A customer actually asked for me to draw you." "Well alright then. Just let me check for Foxy every once in a while." "Sure thing."

- Would be happy if you were actually drawing him in your free time

- And if you were to show him that art sometime

=

Chica w/ Freelance Artist S/O

- "Hey S/O, what are you drawing?" "Oh, Chica, sorry I forgot where I was for a second." "Guess you got really into your art for a second, am I right?" "Yeah, you could say that." "You doodling for fun?" "I'm a freelancing artist." "What's that mean?" "I create art on commission for extra income." "Oh. Well that didn't answer my first question." "What did you ask?" "What are you drawing?"

- She's very interested in your job

- She'd be doodling on a notepad along aside you while getting up every once a while to check that Foxy wasn't coming

- "Hey look Y/N, I drew you!" "Very nice work Chica, oh but don't forget to sign it." "Oh shoot."

- If you asked to draw her she'd get all giddy about it

- She likes asking about the things your customers ask you to draw, a lot

- Would totally ask to see some of your older art too

=

Bonnie w/ Freelance Artist S/O

- "S/O? Are you drawing?" "Ah! Oh it's just you. Sorry Bonnie I was kinda in the zone there." "I could tell, I would've thought my presence in the room would be enough to get you to look up." "Yeah I tend to forget where I work sometimes." "So, back to what I was asking..." "Yeah I'm doing freelancing art. I had a few commissions that I had been waiting a while to do." "Were you having problems?" "I couldn't chose an art style I liked enough."

- While he is interested in art he isn't one to draw, he's afraid of messing up

- He'd probably ask if you could draw him

- "Hey Y/N?" "Yeah Bon?" "You think you could draw me?" "If you can stay still long enough in a single position, then sure."

- Loves looking through your art if you carry around a sketchbook, his fingers won't allow him to scroll on your tablet

- "Ah, this is great Y/N! You can even do color?" "Yeah it took a lot of practice. I can do both traditional and digital." "You're so cool Y/N." "Says the Rockstar rabbit."

=

Foxy w/ Freelance Artist S/O

- "Aye, lass! What you doing there?" "Oh s***! Foxy don't scare me like that!" "Sorry there Y/N, but I've been standing here for a few minutes waiting for ye to notice I was 'ere." "Ah I'm sorry, I was just focused in getting these commissions done." "Ye mean the art right?" "Yeah." "I didn't realize I had such a talented partner."

- Definitely wants you draw him

- "Lass could ye draw me?" "I'm sure I could. Can you stand still long enough to get a good start on you?" "Aye!" "Alright. Go stand over there for me."

- Sad that he can’t actually draw with you, due to the hook

- "Lass do you have any tape?" "Paper ripped again?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry Foxy."

- He can't even really look through your sketchbook because he's afraid of ripping up your artwork on accident

=

Mangle w/ Freelance Artist S/O

- "Hello, hello!" "Ah! Oh, it's just you Mangle." "Just dropping in to check on my favorite person....Are you drawing?" "Yeah, I have a few commissions to do." "Ah, this for extra income?" "I got to pay bills somehow hon." "You could just stay here with me." "I like being alive long enough to do laundry, but I appreciate the sentiment." "Awe come on, I won't bite." "Foxy will though."

- Likes just watching you draw on your tablet while hanging down

- They do attempt to doodle on occasion, but due to their endoskeleton, they have some trouble

- "Y/N, could you hold the paper still for me?" "Having trouble with your endoskeleton again?" "Yes, I really wish the day shifters would work on fixing me." "I could try to at least fix your arms if that'll help." "That would be great. Thank you."

- If you bring your sketchbook to work, they'll end up swiping it and return it to you the next day

- They'll sing praise to you over your work

- "You're such a great artist Y/N!" "Thanks Mangle. I thought your work was great too." "Oh stoppp! You're way better!"
