Soul Crushing Guilt

(This is a re-upload: Originally posted to UniverseUchu on December 2nd, 2022)

You've treated them all like toys. In your defence this was just another video game to you a couple of weeks ago, but they're actually real with thoughts and feelings of their own. You don't know how to feel.

Who’s Here! Venti

Contains: isekai reader, Self Aware Genshin (not the Cult SAGAU), Insecurities (reader), Hurt/Comfort I guess it’s called

Note: I will say this takes place in the middle of a story, but it works on its own and I really liked how this turned out. I do have more written, but it's incomprehensible (even after a whole year it's still incomprehensible lmao)

Sitting on the cliffside of Starsnatch is not where you intended to be at this time, but your soul crushing guilt and insecurities have led you here. You needed to be away from all the positivity from everyone in Mondstadt. Their kindness was only worsening your mood. Staring over the edge, lost deep inside your head, you almost miss the way the wind whirls around you before you hear the one person you wanted to avoid the most right now.

“There you are! I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Why’d you leave without saying anything? Everyone back at Mond is worried, you know.”

You don’t say anything in response and let Venti walk up and sit next to you. You both stay silent and watch the waves crash onto the beach. Venti occasionally takes glances in your direction, but for the most part his eyes are on the scenery. After a few minutes, he tries asking you again.

“I know you told us that we aren’t overwhelming you, but please, if we actually are-”

“That’s not the reason I left Venti.”

“Then what is it?”

Silence is all that greets him. “Please, we just want you to be comfortable with us. We can’t help if we don’t know.”

Hearing him say that only makes you feel more guilty. They’re all so nice to you, and for what? The pressure and the guilt keeps building and building the more you stay here. Everyone’s been so understanding and kind, but all you’ve done before is use them any which way. You’ve judged them for superficial reasons and have even gotten them killed on numerous occasions. Venti showing up and putting the blame on himself and the others like they’re the reason you left just adds onto your shame as tears start to escape your eyes.

Upon seeing your eyes water, Venti slightly panics. “W-Wait, why are you crying!? I’m sorry for whatever-”

“Venti please stop.”

You turn to look Venti in the eyes, and see the panic and worry etched onto his face. It only makes you feel worse.

“Venti… Why are you here? Why do you keep following me?’ You look away from him, trying to keep from balling on the spot. ‘Why are you so nice to me?”

Hearing this, Venti’s face slowly scrunches in confusion. “What do you mean? Of course, I’m going to be nice to you. Where is this coming from?”

“You were conscious the entire time I was playing. I used you all like you were dolls for my amusement. After I got you, didn’t you feel like I was holding you captive or-or like some sort of toy forced to do my bidding? I don’t understand why no one hates me! I feel so guilty of everything I’ve said and done, but everyone’s apologizing to me like they’re in the wrong, and I don’t get it! Especially you! As the God of Freedom, don’t you hate me for taking away your own freedom from you? I just don’t understand… So why…” Unable to continue, you look away as you try to wipe your eyes and wait for Venti to finally tell you he hates you. That he’s going to stop pretending and get up and leave you alone. In your mind you know he would never, that's not who he is, but fear and anxiety is irrational.

Your breath hitches as you feel his hands land on your cheeks and turn your head to look at him. Instead of the disgust or apathy your heart was expecting, Venti’s face is filled with sorrow.

“I can’t believe you would think so low of me.’ He looks downwards and wipes away a few tears with his thumbs before looking back at you with nothing but care. ‘I guess from your point of view that’s a reasonable assumption to make, but you seem to be forgetting one key detail.”

You stare at him as he proceeds to give you the smuggest look you’ve ever seen on him. “I came home extremely early on my banner, didn’t I?”

What he’s saying doesn’t make any sense to you. He’s already treating you extremely differently than you anticipated, and now his question is putting your already malfunctioning brain into overdrive. What did his banner have to do with anything?

“What? Venti I-I don’t understand. What are you trying to…’ Finally, it all starts to click into place as your eyes widen, and his stupid grin gets larger. ‘You… Did you influence the banner wishes???”

Venti laughs joyously as he lets go of your face. His eyes sparkle like he’s recounting the best moment of his life.

“Why yes, I did! I actually got in a lot of trouble for that! It's part of the reason you lost the next 50/50, but I couldn’t miss the chance to join your team. I refused to wait another second.”

“But why? I still don’t under-”

“I have the freedom to make my own choices, do I not? I wanted to join your team, so I did.”

His expression changes from smug to such a soft look. You have a hard time believing it is being directed at you.

“Why, yes, I may be the God of Freedom, but I’m also simply one of the many characters this game has to offer. I’m one of your many characters in particular. And out of such a colourful cast of individuals, I was your favourite. To be the reason someone even downloaded our game in the first place sends me over the moon. For everyone else, you still give their lives a purpose and have earned everyone’s respect. Sure, you might be a bit crass, but even when you were rude or made a mistake, you still treated everyone with more care than necessary. I especially could feel and hear the level of adoration you had for me through the screen. To me, there’s nothing I want more than to travel by your side for as long as you’ll have me.”

Such a heartwarming and earnest speech from Venti has your eyes start to water again. Not all of your insecurities and guilt have been lifted, you don’t think that kind of guilt will be something you can get rid of, but with Venti here…

“You’re allowed to stay for as long as you want.”

He cups your cheeks again while looking straight into your eyes.

“Then till death do we part, my dear player.”

You break down and cry as Venti pulls you in for a hug. With Venti by your side, you know he’ll help you through your guilt with as much care and love as you’ve given him.

Tim out here in his thigh-highs continuing to get work DONE. I love to see him thriving without it being about Bruce’s mental health.

[theriverbeyond]

did you have a coherent picture in your head when you read about the bone monsters, the one in the laboratory and the one that killed everyone? I was struggling tbh

my idea for the bone monster is like what if a T rex was quadruped with accessory bone-sword arms that didn't touch the ground and also a massive and very long prehensile tail and face spikes.

big thank you to Sue the Trex for being my bad photoshop model!!!!

also i couldn't resist making this meme:

#I have seen a variety of different depictions of it and I have loved every one of them though!! #there are many ways to envision the Bone Beast #bone construct #lab 2 #gideon the ninth #im here to play with jpgs like dolls honestly #winnowing/response #x #just made this guy my new header image btw <3 i love him actually #my son #this actually took like. 2 hours.. #also just realized i forgot to discuss the one that killed everyone #i imagined bone tenacles like that jo-anns halloween octopus but with a t rex head

You know, sometimes you just play an otome and go "that's my son" and then he's the mom of the group. It just happens like that sometimes.

#charade maniacs #keito ebana #i just think hes neat! and im horrified for when i play his route and learn things glossed over in another route #but like also hey i love him sooooo much and i got really sad when i looked at a site for the rec walkthrough order #and then a brief overview of The Guys themselves and #the person writing it was like listen i love the artist of the game but why did they give him poop hair #and i just :c thats mean :c it could also just be chocolate ice cream :c why ya gotta be so mean #they literally gave a lower route rating BECAUSE they didnt like his hair #and i get it cause appearances do affect my opinions on the characters but not actually the route overall #so i uh so haha i uh jokingly put possible otome spam in my header info thing here #and i thought no way will i actually do that #then i remembered my mom son and was like oh damn gotta draw him... wait -

miscellaneous blog updates

did a soft reboot of both my blog and carrd's general aesthetics

blog has a new icon, the old green color block has been replaced

cleaned up my pinned, added a new post header

removed the emoji tags for both achille/patroclus and achille & tauvane. for now I'm focusing on the wormwood's family dynamics

ADDENDUM:

removed the individual galleries of my roster on my carrd; this will probably be permanent as I need to take more accurate gposes of each one and it'll make their pages feel less cluttered, so the extra space will be utilized for other elements

removed the emojis tags for hector & paris and andromache & paris, merged them into one tag called wormwood family. the emoji is the green apple (🍏)

#blog maintenance. #the blog header actually came from the burn just edited. can you tell i love the stormblood dungeon the burn #lowkey obsessed with the colors ngl. my dark green era is over

This is a header I did for my twt account that is a redraw from that gay ass screenshot of reigen with a rainbow from s3 that I am still really proud of

#idk man I just keep making stuff for my twt cuz its so funny actually #reigen arataka #art link #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #also I love manga colors reigen so I usually draw him with them when it comes to pfp or headers for my twt...

Planted my plants...because the thing about having like fifty lilies is that my lilies don't bloom until mid-summer and my tulips will be dying in the next few weeks...the hyacynths are already basically done and the hydrengeas are just green...so I had to go get some annual plants to give everything a bit of color.

Now I'm gonna enjoy some plantain tostones with fried eggs and make tea before I can actually watch the interview and also get back to writing my bucktommy fic.

#911 abc #bucktommy #fic writing #fic writing update #gardening #my header on my blog is actually a picture of my lilies from some years back #may update with new picture this year #the way I see it queer buck back then would have been great...queer buck...bi buck now is amazing #and I love bucktommy and also buddie

[tinyfantasminha]

why so many ppl on tumblr don't bother in putting a pfp or a header or anything 😭😭I do bot hunting on my follower list everyday and every now and then I almost nuke a real person because I thought they were a bot

It doesnt take 1 minute to put an actual pfp or write any shit on your header just so we know you're not a bot at first glance!! at this point I'm gonna start blocking every blog like this bc its a nuisance to check the blog contents everytime just so I know you're a human

#seeing how theres a lot of people who follow me that dont have a pfp or a header or a banner and it feels megasus #if youre a real person then forthe love of god put on an actual pfp or i WILL block you im so tired of these bots
