[Image description: A 4 page comic of Xiao and Aether that takes place right after the Archon Interlude II quest cutscene.
On the first page, Xiao emerges from The Chasm and glances to the side, sensing Zhongli’s presence. Aether approaches and asks, “Xiao! Are you okay?”
The second page consists of dialogue with panels focusing on Xiao and Aether. “You aren’t hurt anywhere, are you?” asks Aether as he puts his hand on Xiao’s shoulder. “Even if it’s a small injury, we shouldn’t ignore it-”
Xiao turns away and replies, “I’m okay, Aether. Really.”
On the third page, Aether starts, “Seriously, you...”
A series of panels depict Xiao turning to look at Aether. The final of these panels shows his eyes wide in shock. The majority of the page portrays Aether, staring directly at Xiao with tears dripping down his face. A hand clenched into a fist is raised to his chest, while the other rests on his lap.
“Don’t ever do something like that again,” he says.
The fourth page begins with a sparkling teardrop falling down. “I’m sorry,” Xiao says. “I won’t.”
At the bottom of the page, Xiao and Aether sit on the ground as they hug. They are small compared to the scenery of The Chasm.]

do what you want forever actually. just because more people have eyes on you doesn't make you less human. I think you should be kinder on yourself and remember that you aren't just here to make content: you're a complex individual with a lot of thoughts on things and you shouldn't be afraid to share them out of fear of backlash. and if you ever feel like "maybe I shouldn't say something?", take a step back, deep breath, and ask yourself why. Please take your time and remember that you are loved and appreciated, and that those are the people who should matter most to you. not meaningless hate from people who don't even totally understand what they're defending. now go have a spectacular day, I was possessed to write this
Thank you so much. That means a lot. 🥲

I don't understand why it's generally not socially acceptable to recognize your good qualities. Like I don't understand why it's bad to be a show-off or a know-it-all or to brag. Like I think most people know "those things = bad" but not why.
It also seems like people are always either waaaaay into one end of the scale where they are just so unbearably full of themselves and have preposterously high self esteem (and most people act like this is fine too? Like a lot of celebrities and white men specifically seem to be like this) and I don't understand why so many people respect them then. Or they're the complete opposite with self esteem way too low despite the fact that they have redeeming qualities.
I feel like maybe the reason it's considered bad to brag is because you might 'make' other people feel inadequate but see that seems like a stupid reason to me because the problem then is not that you stated an opinion of your own self worth but is actually that everyone else is conditioned to compare themselves to each other in a very unhealthy way. And I think instead of discouraging people from opening up about what they take pride in, what they like about themselves, what makes them feel happy or content or confident, maybe we could just be discouraging people from viewing those things as personal threats? Idk just trying to formulate some thoughts on this

the girl i was in love with in middle school— my best friend and first crush — who i got into a severely life-altering end-of-relationship with: lives in my city, goes to my college, has recently texted my brother, and is on tumblr. and i feel normal about this and never think of her at all. and she doesn’t show up in my dreams after all these years or anything.

and is there not just generally a certain level of decency that would make you like ease up on a person who's obviously more than a little frazzled i am sorry that i cant process all my feelings and regurgitate them to you in an easily digestible manner while im actively In a situation or have a prepared disclaimer about how im so sorry but im just overwhelmed and need you to leave me alone right now or whatever else maybe i just dont know maybe i cant tell you exactly what im feeling or need and if i have to figure it out and explain that to you my brain is going to explode. but you could read the room. is there not a point where a friend would probably just go oh okay let me not continue pushing this person let me take a moment to reflect on their state and perhaps try to ease that or at least not keep fucking pushing on it. and also maybe not choose these moments to make otherwise innocuous but contextually just kinda meanspirited jabs. ok whatever
