#many freminet thoughts today

I think Freminet has some of the most interesting dissonance in his self perception of any Genshin character.
Like, of the Hearthlings we know, he's one of the most emotionally mature and intelligent. Lynette might still have him beat, but after playing her hangout... I dunno. I think they're tied. Lyney is Crumbling, Alrecchino is. Well. Arlecchino. Everyone else is a deeply traumatized child or adult and Freminet seems to pretty regularly be people's emotional support. His character stories talk about getting his vision by saving a bunch of other kids on a dive that went bad. The Selkie event literally had him being a therapist for a grownass woman, citing his past experiences with all the other Hearthlings that have died or killed themselves. And he handled that situation WELL. Yeah, he seems to live in a fantasy, but goddamn he's alive and a lot of people in his position aren't so clearly something is working.
Either his or Lyney's character story talks about the time Freminet had reached out to Lyney to try to ease his burdens, which resulted in Lyney blowing up at him. That probably contributed to Freminet thinking he's not good at it, but I think the reason Lyney reacted so badly was BECAUSE Freminet is actually a good support. He can't allow himself that from the little brother he's supposed to protect.
Freminet seems to both cry and dissociate often, but like... Kiddo you are in fact the only person in this family actually processing your emotions. Lynette dissociates 24/7. Arlecchino. Lyney lies and tells everyone he's fine and would literally rather die than admit otherwise. In comparison, Freminet is doing FANTASTIC
Freminet also gets a lot out of helping people! Like anyone, he needs to feel useful and needed. He seems to be an excellent mentor to the younger Hearthlings and perfectly competent on his own, but when you put him in a room with Lyney and Lynette who baby him and insist that THEY take care of HIM, he withdraws into himself.
Like, Freminet by himself feels like a young man and Freminet with the magician twins feels like a teenager. I have no idea how old he actually is. Logically, he would be OLDER than them! He's been with the House much, much longer and his experience shows. I think it's fascinating that they love him SO MUCH and yet, they just Cannot let him help them. Which is hurting him.
(Lynette is much better about not babying him and that is probably why their relationship is so much better than Freminet and Lyney's. Also why she keeps having to mediate between them. Because Lyney charges off trying to Fix Everything and that just makes Freminet feel useless and he doesn't want to get in the way and- you get the point)
Idk. It's hard to tell what things the previous director said to him vs what Arlecchino has said to him. I'm inclined to think our Arlecchino was the one that said he cries too much, but in a "crying in front of your enemies will get you killed" way and she herself is too fucked up to realize how "you cry too much" could be damaging.
Also I try not to consider gameplay stuff when it comes to story, but Freminet also has some of the most BRUTAL animations. He SMASHES HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT METAL PENGUIN INTO HIS ENEMY'S FACE. He doesn't think he's the most amazing fighter, and by Fatui standards he probably isn't, but he is winning fights against most grown men.
Tldr Freminet thinks he cries too much and is a burden and isn't good at helping people when he's actually the most mentally stable Hearthling send tweet

-> happy valentines day!
synopsis -> how some of my favorite genshin women and men celebrate valentines day.
characters -> ningguang, shenhe, yelan, ei, miko, wriothesley, lyney, albedo, kazuha
warnings -> none! all fluff.
w/c -> 1.0k
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ningguang is a woman with many riches. the moment her mind processed it was valentines day when she woke up for work was also the moment she hurried over to her wardrobe, digging up a beautiful bracelet made only with diamonds before setting it down on your night table. as she was putting on her clothes, you groaned, waking up. she leaned down to kiss you before telling you to look over on your side of the nightstand, greeted to an outstanding piece of jewelry you could only dream of having. you groggily smiled, putting the bracelet around your wrist before throwing the covers off of your body and hugging your wonderful wife.
shenhe doesn’t really understand the concept of ‘valentines day.’ she knew of it as liyue citizens being cheesy on the streets, and the finest cuisine’s businesses flooding with romance. usually, she’d watch from afar. but ever since you entered her picture, she started to care just a bit more. she’d spend the day with you in the harbor, observing other couples actions before deciding herself what to do. she had decided to buy you a nice box of chocolates and a few clothing items you’ve been eyeing. she bought them with you there, without a word, waiting until you both exited the store to give them to you. when you tightly hugged her, she let out a tiny laugh, hugging you back lightly.
oh? wriothesley, the great duke of the fortress of meropide, celebrating such a holiday? yes! as the morning approached, the first fun little gift you received was his presence in bed, still asleep. ah, he must have taken the day off of work, you thought. he awoke a few moments later, saying his good morning before getting up to start the day with you. he took you out for a very nice breakfast before walking around the inner city. oh, no matter if this were to go into the steambird. charlotte is probably lingering somewhere, eager to catch a rare sight of the duke on the surface. he brought you to an isolated part of fontaine, a gorgeous view, and making sure nobody was in sight, got down on one knee and pulled out an extraordinary ring from his pocket, holding it out to you.
lyney is most certainly going to celebrate valentines day, with a valentine or not. whether it’s performing card tricks that turn into roses for men with a romantic partner, or actually celebrating it with his significant other. he’ll perform a very special magic performance, just for your eyes, not even lynette or freminet have seen it! gorgeous, glittering roses in your favorites of colors come drifting from nowhere, landing in your hair. only the finest for you! he’ll absolutely spoil you with a dinner that certainly cost one hefty sum of mora… you really, truly hope today won’t make him bankrupt.
yelan will spoil you, without a doubt. she doesn’t care much about the holiday itself, what she does care for though is that you get what you desire on such a day. she’ll take you anywhere you would like! she also likes to save the fanciest restaurants for days like these in specific. you saw a restaurant in mondstadt during your last visit? she’ll take you, and you’ll spend the night in the city of wind. she’ll do anything for you no matter, and she’ll top it off with a cute box of chocolates and a bouquet. she’s not quite the person for overwhelming affection, so she’ll give these things to you in subtle ways, behind the safety of your walls.
oh, ei. from being in such a state of meditation for so long, this woman barely grasps the concept of christmas! do not fret, she’s a quick learner. (but don’t ask her to cook. that is something she will not be able to learn.) once you explain to her what valentine's day is, and also take her to get a small rundown of the holiday from yae miko, she nods before immediately dashing off to find an exquisite treasure at a nice shop downtown. of course, considering she’s in a very high position in inazuma, she gets cheaper prices on all of the trinkets, she absolutely spoils you! she’s also willing to walk around other islands with you, to admire the scenery before pulling out the things she got you and proceeding to make it a day worth remembering.
yae miko has lived long enough to understand what valentines day is. she see’s romance on the streets during those days, and she’s even published a light novel on two lovebirds on a holiday such as this. so do not underestimate how long she has planned your gift, as soon as you wake up you are greeted to a small book laying on your pillow. you go to open it, reading such a beautiful story about how you two fell in love. it was two completely different characters re-enacting your story. she comes into your shared bedroom, sitting down with you before rubbing your thigh, a look that cannot be told between a smirk and a light smile dancing across her gorgeous face.
albedo didn’t see the significance at first. of any holiday, people choose to celebrate this one? isn’t that what anniversaries are for? though, once he sees how important it is to you, he crafts a beautiful necklace with his bare hands and some potions he had mixed up to create the gemstones that were very neatly embedded into the shell of the jewelry. it was beautiful- likely the prettiest thing you’ve set your eyes upon, considering not only was it made from love, it went perfectly with your eyes and hair. valentines day this year was such a success with albedo as your partner.
kazuha knew valentines day. he’d make today extra special for you, taking you to the finest cuisines in whatever area you were at during your travels. he’d occasionally stop, creating a bouquet that he’d plan on giving to you later on at night. when you had received it, there was everything in there- he had collected some qingxin flowers, sweet flowers, a few mint leaves for color, some silk flowers, glaze lillies, and violetgrass. you truly believed it was the most gorgeous bouquet you’ve seen, and it landed a place in a very nice glass vase when you two arrived home that evening.

a/n ; a freminet x male reader?? HELLO???? dont mind if i do 🙏🙏‼️ though i think this is more leaned to gn side so hope you dont mind :3
〉MASTERLIST〈
Tumblr media
today is indeed a lovely day, where you’re just chilling in freminet’s quiet, penguin-themed room. since the twins are out of the house for their magic performance, the two of you can do anything without being disturbed and teased by the twins.
it was really fun— you played with freminet for hours in his bedroom, from card games like uno to role playing with his penguin plushie, pers. until you saw something strange poked out from his drawer. something like… an album photo?
you walked toward the album photo and took it with a curious grin, walking back to his bed and holding the book tightly in your arms— just in case freminet wanted to take the book from you. but instead of trying to take the book or plead to you, he silently observed the old book in your arms. as if he wanted to see the book containing his childhood photos too!
you flipped the first page, and there was a quite old photo (based on the texture and quality) of freminet in his baby form. hugging his beloved penguin plushie, pers, so tightly. he looked kinda funny too.
“you’re so cute!!” you exclaimed, looking at the baby photo of him and his current self repeatedly. “see how much you’ve changed, fremi!” you added with a genuine smile, pressing your nose against his squishy cheeks, intentionally kissed it too.
“... i looked goofy.” he suddenly added, his voice still monotone, but you can sense a hint of shyness in it. he was being so straightforward... “pfft—! well, baby photos are always goofy and weird, but you looked cuter here!”
freminet couldn’t help but smile as well at your compliment, as he kept observing his baby form while waiting for you to flip to another page.
the next page, there is a photo of freminet reaching the age of five and getting a penguin pajamas as a gift from the twins. gosh, he looked so happy— that big, innocent smile brings a smile to you too!
“ah, i remembered that pajama. ever since lyney and lynette gave it to me on my birthday, i never even want to change my clothes. i insisted on wearing it all the time,” he admitted with a sheepish chuckle, pointing at the penguin pajamas.
you squealed because you were melted by the photo, swinging your legs excitedly. “archons, fremi! why are you so cute?!” you asked with a hint of aggressive affection, making freminet a little surprised. were his old photos that cute? it wasn’t even close to good… he thought.
after a few minutes of trying to calm down, you flipped to the next page, revealing the younger freminet hugging his penguin plushie while sleeping so serenely. and he looked so pretty too…
“i don’t remember this photo.” freminet said quietly, observing his younger sleeping self. “did lyney take it without my knowledge?” he asked again, quietly, as if he was asking himself.
“why are you suddenly whispering?” you suddenly asked, accidentally breaking the silence and cracking a smile. “oh, uh—”
“i just didn’t want to wake him up.” he joked while pointing at his younger self in the picture, making you laugh a little and nudging his shoulder playfully. “are you always like this? lookin’ so pretty when you were asleep?”
“s-stop…” he mumbled, clearly getting overwhelmed by each of your compliments. “don’t ‘s-stop’ me! just admit that you’re not just a pretty crier, but a pretty sleeper too!”
as time goes by, you spend hours looking at the childhood album photo with your boyfriend. you couldn’t stop squealing and showering him with so much affection and kisses, and it made him blush hard for the rest of the day. it’s not your fault that he’s so goddamn adorable.
Tumblr media

Básicamente un TN o YN que es como Malleus Draconia de Twisted Wonderland (Prácticamente la descripción más importante de Malleus, un ser amable y tranquilo pero muy peligroso y poderoso: por eso muchos le temen... por ese miedo muchos simplemente lo olvidan. (quiero invitarlos a fiestas, reuniones o eventos sociales porque su sola presencia molesta o incomoda a todos, simplemente algo triste)
¿Cómo reaccionarían las naciones de Teyvat al enterarse de que su YN prácticamente NUNCA ha recibido una invitación? Básicamente, están tan contentos con esta invitación que los han invitado a una fiesta.
Traduction:
Basically a TN or YN that is like Malleus Draconia of Twisted Wonderland (Practically the most important description of Malleus, a kind and quiet but very dangerous and powerful being: that is why many fear it… for that fear many simply forget it. (I want to invite you to parties, meetings or social events because your single presence bothers or bothers everyone, just a little sad)
How would the nations of Teyvat react when they discover that their YN has almost never received an invitation? Basically, they’re so happy with this invitation that they were invited to a party
I'm not quite sure how you wanted to put it, but I'll try!
Now, Y/N is hella strong, and I mean, creators are kind of strong. Move mountains, rise the seas, and create blood-turning rivers—ALL THE STAFF.
They have this aura around them—the one that could crash any kind of ego without even flinching a finger. And everyone knows that and fears that—to the point that they never guessed if they were actually happy in that situation.
The reader wasn't that fine with it. To be fair, it wasn't even something that they would enjoy; they felt just so lonely in their giant temple, waiting for someone or something.
Their first invitation came like a warm wind during the winter.
Freminet loved your place—so big, so quiet. He enjoyed that you let him stay at your place, minding him no business at all, just tending to your garden while he was wandering the small lakes in the Creator temple. When he sent them a small letter, an invitation, something clicked in the reader's mind.
"What is this?"
"An invitation to my sister's tea party...for you..."
They have never received any invitations since the day they came to Teyvat. It was so stressful, but they couldn't take away the happy smile on their faces.
When the day of the tea party came, finally Lynette and Lyney understood who their brother friend was that he used to talk about. That wasn't what they thought about. When the Creator himself appeared to them, with a small box full of dessert in their hands and an elegant smile on their faces, the two siblings were in pure shock.
What if they do something to upset the creator? What if Lyney says something wrong? What if... and there you and Freminet just started to enjoy the tea together?
Readre tried so hard to not make anyone feel uncomfortable, but everyone was so stiff, except Freminet; of course, he couldn't be bothered at all by them.
When Readre started to tell how happy they were after receiving that letter from Freminet, Lyney started to make a guess.
"How is it possible that you, the mighty creator, don't receive any invitation to party, even in your own honor?"
"Maybe it's for my jokes?"
Ajh, so the creator was just a big dumbass. What news!
After that, the information started to spread. And the archons started to feel some shame for themselves.
They genuinely believed that the Creator never had time for pitty little pèarty or small festivals; they never could imagine that they could feel so lonely. Things started to change—for the worst, maybe.
"Ooookay! Today we have lunch at Mondstadt with some wine tasting at the Ragnivndr Mansion, then dinner at the Akademiya. Very early, we must go, and I mean, fly, to Watatsumi Island and"
Lumine was just at the beginning of her daily report of the creator's activity. Only to find them half asleep on the table.
"Maybe being the center of attention, it's not so fanatical at all."

Lyney/Reader
Genshin spoilers under the cut, for 4.0 Fontaine Archon quests.
Containes unexpected kissing and the barest slightest tiniest slight yandere Lyney, might not be canon compliant bc I got stuck halfway through trying to do quest stuff and came to write this instead.
I thought I was in a bit of a dry spell but it turns out I just needed some catboy coded manipulation to get back in the swing of things. I think all three of them would be subtly manipulative like this and I love it. Hopefully I can write more of them soon :D
This came out a lot cuter than I pictured. I don't really think Lyney would be an overtly violent or threatening lover.
The first time Lyney kisses you is right after Crowell dies. Your eyes widen, still focused on Lynette's, while her brother presses his mouth against yours in a kiss decidedly not appropriate for someone the prime suspect in a murder trial. The basket of food you brough knocks awkwardly against your knees, tilting you forward at an uncomfortable angle.
The supervising garde coughs. Lyney releases you. You steady yourself against him.
"I brought you food. Freminet was worried you would get hungry," you say, uncovering the dishes. Lyney's little brother had practically thrown bowls at you while you struggled to fasten your cloak. "Some might be a little wet. It's pouring out there."
"Thank you," Lynette says, taking the basket. "I'm going to the dressing rooma to share."
"Sorry it's mostly leftovers," you say, watching her bow bob as she leaves.
Her exit leaves you and Lyney in the half-light of backstage, the spotlights casting eerie shadows on the props. The garde moves a few steps away.
Lyney seems to realize how stiffly you're holding yourself. "Sorry," he says, releasing your elbow. "Overwhelmed, I guess. Crowell..."
You knew Crowell—were the one to reccommend him for the job, in fact. You glance at the curtain covering everything.
"Freminet's worried about you. Says there's too many visitors for him to handle."
Lyney sighs. "Poor Freminet. He didn't have anything to do with this. I feel terrible about it all, I'm not there to support him..." He catches sight of you again and gasps. "Oh, archons, what am I doing? You're soaked through and through. I was so busy worrying about this I completely forgot my manners. I'll find you a change of clothes somewhere."
Someone in the dressing room offers you a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. Lyney continues hovering at your side, fussing. "I don't deserve you," he says, once his troupe has largely wandered off to rest. It's closer to dawn than sunset and you've mostly dried off. He sits at the edge of the pile of cushions you're propped up on, fiddling with his shoelace.
"I haven't done anything," you mutter, eyelids itching to close.
"That's not true," he says. "You keep the house in order, take care of Freminet, patch up all our costumes, organize the troupe, bring us food..." He trails off looking at you. "The kiss."
You look away. "Overwhelmed?"
He makes a frustrated noise. "Yes, but- Ah," he sighs, collapsing backwards closer to you. "I really did mean it. I just... probably should have waited for a better time. I hoped, after today's show, that, you know..." He dissolves into groans again. "Freminet adores you and so does Lynette. After this is all over, do you think maybe we could perhaps, ah, continue that?"
You see his face pressed to the cushions, rough fabric against his smooth cheek. He looks at you softly, like a dream, poised like a cat about to pounce.
Him. Lynette. Freminet. They all want to catch you somehow.

freminet running his fingers softly through reader's hair while reader talks about their day please 🥺🥺❤️ /nf
Tumblr media
freminet runs his fingers through your hair and listens in as you tell him all about your day.
AA i love this idea so much!! thank you for your wonderful request, i would be more than happy to write it out for you. i hope you enjoy~!
ヾ(@^∇^@)ノ
fluffy romance coming your way!
Tumblr media
❄️✧🥥♡🌸
"freminet, i'm home!" you eagerly call out to him as you step in through the front door, kicking your shoes off.
"welcome back." he made his way towards you upon hearing your voice, with a warm expression blossoming across his face. you noticed how his freckles caught the sunlight that filtered in through the windows, making them resemble the amber leaves of fall sprinkled on his cheeks.
each and every time you get to see him, you feel as though you fall in love all over again. his beauty simply cannot be compared.
"i'm really happy to see you!" you admit to him. "i want to tell you all about my day, it was amazing." you're overjoyed, and freminet couldn't help but smile at you, he could nearly see you glowing with positivity. in the back of his mind, he thought..
how did i ever deserve you?
"why, i would love to know about it, y/n. i'm all ears!" he said to you.
he stepped closer and immediately aided you in taking off your overcoat and hung it up for you. freminet then took care to straighten out your outfit, helping to make you feel refreshed! but whenever you try to do the same to him on other occasions, he keeps on insisting that it's alright, and tries to prioritize you first. he feels like you shouldn't be worried about him, but of course, you simply yearn to, giving him your own precious time and attention as he does to you.
freminet is too pure for your heart to handle, and so you want to give him all the love you possibly can! ૮₍˶ ╥ ‸ ╥ ⑅₎ა
"thank you, how can one be so caring?" you chuckle, and give him a big hug after he so kindly fixed you up. he gladly returned it, holding you close to him and subtlety swaying back and forth, as if he was relieved that he now attained your company that was absent since that very morning.
"w-well.. how can one be so perfect such as you?" he responded whilst he burrowed his head into the nook of your shoulder.
you savored his touch, and then you two gently broke away, his sweet gesture lingering on.
“did you eat dinner yet?” he asked you. “i decided to eat out today, so i can prepare something if you’re hungry.”
“oh don’t worry freminet, i ate about an hour ago! looks like we’re set.” you grin sweetly, glad that you both can simply rest together.
"i’m glad you did sweetheart. a-ahem, shall we go relax in the lounge?" freminet suggested, clearly wanting to hear about what you accomplished today.
“i would love to.” you reply, following him in with a yawn. “ah, i think i got tired out.”
“oh? why so?” he sat down first, and then you decided to lay down next to him.
“okay, so basically, i did my usual commissions, right? and then one of them was to feed this little old lady’s pets since she was out. she has this cutest fluffy dog that just kept wanting to play, and i must’ve stayed there for about an hour running back and forth!” you laugh, glancing up at him to catch his warm smile. he loved hearing about the small details, and that’s one of the many things that you adore about him.
“what was the dog’s name?” he inquired, and began to rustle his fingers through your hair. you swore that it can make you fall asleep each and every time he does it, and it’s always the most soothing thing in the world.
“his name was bubba.” you lean in, loving the feeling of a nice head massage. “bubba! oh my goodness, isn’t that the perfect name?”
૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა
freminet nodded. "that's an adorable name."
“oh yeah, and then i helped out with a promotional banner. i didn’t even know that it could be a commission. it was great fun, i got some generous rewards from it. but honestly…”
you continue to go on, ranting about the best parts of your entire day, and he nodded as you spoke, sorting out any tangles in your hair, asking about certain pieces of information from time to time.
he would make little braids in your hair and then take them out again as he concentrated on your stories. freminet was quite a good hairstylist, and that sometimes made you ask him how he got to be so good, but he never gave you a direct answer.
“oh! and then i saw an old friend right before i got dinner. i was so surprised that they traveled-" you pause with a big yawn.
"traveled all the way here. i was so happy to get the chance to catch up with them, but they seemed to be in a hurry.” you noted.
“well, do you know how long they’ll be staying?” he combed his fingers through your ends.
“thankfully, it seems they have some business to do here, so i’ll most likely see them around! ah man, that’ll be great.” you murmur sleepily, trying to adjust your head to get comfortable.
“i’m happy that’s the case. it can be a relief to see a familiar face.” he noticed that you were getting more tired by the minute.
"mhm.." you lifted your head, and placed it into freminet's lap. you didn’t have much more to say, so you just wanted to be close to him.
"y/n.." blinking in surprise, he still didn't feel completely used to the affection you showed him, and often felt bad if he were to specifically ask.
but he absolutely loved every single bit of it. it was new. but such a magnificent feeling. everytime you gave him your lovely compassion, he felt as if he were imagining a faraway dream. the amount of trust you shared with him.. nobody has ever gotten remotely close to it, except for lyney and lynette, but even then, this was entirely different.
you eventually doze off, your breathing growing slower. he froze in place, as if the slightest of movement would disturb your peace.
he noticed your hair got out of place again, falling across your face, and so he slowly reached one hand down towards you, gently moving your strands behind your ear. he then adjusted the other side, making sure that you would sleep without a bother.
seeing you like this almost made his eyes want to tear up.
everything about you was precious to him. he caressed your crown, creating a gentle motion with his thumb, and the room was completely quiet to him in that moment of time, except for your light breathing and freminet's beating heart.
"i love you, y/n." he softly whispered, and finally rested an arm on your back and closed his eyes.

why lyney x aether just makes sense
no traveller ship has ever rlly worked to me (other than ayaka bc it was very heavily hinted in canon) UNTIL TODAY. HERE IS MY FORMAL DISSERTATION ON WHY LYNETHER WORKS
neither of them have pairs - genshin purposefully does this thing where they pair up characters (eg: chongyun & xingqiu, jean & lisa) which is why there are so many popular ships in the fandom. i think lyney's effective pair is meant to be lynette & aether doesnt have one bc hes meant to be a player-insert but that leaves SO MUCH ROOM bc when you think about it the closest thing lyney has to a love interest IS AETHER
siblings - both of them are elder brothers and both are TWINS . they also both have a youngest sibling figure (freminet and paimon; dont tell me paimon isnt a younger sister figure bc if u open a modern au ALMOST ALWAYS she is presented as "aether and lumines younger sister") their backstories are similar (losing their other half) so they canonically understand each other (There's nothing in the world I treasure more than my family, so I know what it must be like for you -Lyney, Friendship LV4) THIS LEADS INTO MY OTHER POINT
the "i see past your mask" trope - this is a very popular trope (and one that ngl kills me everytime i read it bc it preys on the human desire to be fully understood) BUT it was made for lyney . if youve watched ouran highschool host club HIKARU AND KAORUS "we are the only two who understand each other... until haruhi arrived" IS NOT DISSIMILAR TO WHAT COULD HAPPEN WITH LYNEY, LYNETTE AND AETHER . and lyney was BORN to fit this trope bc he already has the whole fake, charming, extrovert persona he puts on. ("Actually, the real me is nowhere near as outgoing or chatty as I appear. (...) I think people would feel sorry for the real me." -Lyney, friendship LV6)
narrative - a big thing about ships is they need to have a faucet for tension . like xingyun is extremely hinted in canon but its nowhere near as popular as kavetham and zhongchi. why? because theyre just childhood best friends. nothing interesting about it. zhongchi especially is hugely popular bc of the potential for reconciliation after the osial arc (zhongli's "im sorry for manipulating you. it wasnt all fake i swear" sorta thing) AND YK WHAT ELSE HAS THAT??? FURINA REVEALING LYNEY AS FATUI IN THE TRIAL "im sorry for lying about my identity. it wasnt all fake" the core that makes ships like satosugu and zhongchi tragic is the betrayal of trust, and, well... ("Nothing could make me happier than having your trust." -Lyney, Ascension 4)
binary opposition - why is satosugu so popular? probably because its the whole 'cruel murderer villain' vs 'strongest hero' trope and audienced like sun vs moon . okay . AETHER IS LITERALLY THE HONORARY KNIGHT OF MONDSTADT, HERO OF LIYUE, ENEMY OF ETERNITY, FIRST SAGE OF BUER and lyney is THE FUTURE SUCCESSOR TO THE HOUSE OF HEARTH . the villain of genshin impact (currently) is the fatui so you cant get better than this.
canon hints - even if ships would theoretically work well and have potential for tension, they need to be grounded in the source material. so does lynether have that?
"Hmm, your eyes are like topaz, precious, pure, and lovely. I like them! I've decided — I'm going to put on a show just for you."
"I thought it was the radiance of the sunlight on my skin that I felt — turns out it was your radiance all along!"
"I should probably emphasize again that I'm rarely so open with anyone — I guess it's because you're not just anyone."
"It seems we're both keenly interested in each other. Well, know that the honor is mine! Haha, relax. I couldn't ever tell lies to your mesmerizing eyes — not even if I tried!"
"Doing all this for me... Are you trying to steal this magician's heart, by any chance? Well, in that case, congratulations, my dear apprentice — or should I say, "companion." For you have succeeded!"
canonically, lyney gets upset when aether thinks abt other things when hes in fromt of him. HES LIKE A POUTING CHILD THAT GOES "pay attention to me!!!" LMFAOO
the rainbow rose, need i say more? lyney literally gets flustered when lynette brings it up too pfft
most of the stuff he says can be attributed to lyney just being a flirt but in cases like the rainbow rose scene where he literally does it BECAUSE HE KNOWS AETHER WOULDNT GET IT... there is no platonic explanation bc if there was, if it meant Friendly Love THEN THE DEVELOPERS WOULDNT HAVE ADDED THE NOTE ABOUT LYNETTE NEVER GETTING ONE considering shes the most important person to lyney...
in conclusion, ive rambled for too freaking long but THEY WORK . AND THERES ALSO POTENTIAL FOR A WHOLE LONG DISTANCE YEARNING ARC BC AETHER ALWAYS TRAVELS SO... FANFIC WRITERS CHOP CHOP

RAHHH i’m back 👹👹👹
today i made the subconcious decision to pull for c1 hutao with my 30 saved wishes for furina and genuinely cannot tell if i’m upset abt it or not (i have so many unbuilt 5 stars it’s TERRIBLE i cannot afford to add her to my collection 😭.)
BUT IM NOT HERE TO RANT YOUR EAR OFF!
i’m here to deliver that lynette version you oh so requested 😘
NOTE: IK YOU LEGIT JUST GOT BACK INTO WRITING SO DONT FEEL THE NEED TO WRITE THIS ASAP JUST LET IT SIT UNTIL YOU FEEL UR CREATIVE MIND JUICES FLOWING AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF 👹👹👹👹
but yes, i thought while it’s fresh in my mind i’ll submit this entry to you for when you feel like writing this specific prompt 😁
SO without further adieu,
FOUND FAMILY /w COMFORT PT 2: so this is following a similar path to my freminet one. basically m!reader decided to take a peaceful walk around the court of fontaine with freminet (it can be a continuation of the first part or a completely seperate writing piece, up to you!) and on the way they run into lynette. ofc they invite her along and ask why she isn’t with her brother, and she explains how he’s off with the traveller on some errands.
they all decide to sit down to have some tea & sweets and m!reader offers to order (bc freminet is a lil shy and lynette jus isn’t a people gal), so freminet goes to sit at a table & lynette stands in line to wait for the order after m!reader has finished paying (once again, lyney scored bae material 😍).
after m!reader sits down with freminet and starts a lil conversation abt what he found diving a few days ago, he notices lynette getting hit on by some random dude. she’s visibly uncomfortable and attempting to move away from this man but he is PERSISTENT (not physically touching her but he’s pretty pushy)
ofc, m!reader isn’t gonna tolerate this vile behaviour towards his future sister-in-law, so he goes up to the man and creates distance between the two and (not so kindly) tells the dude to fuck off. creepo notices the vision on our person (idm what element 🫶🏻) and quickly scurries off.
m!reader verbally assures lynette (he’s wary of making her uncomfortable by hugging her bc ifykyk) that he won’t let anything happen to her whilst he’s around and lynette gives a lil smile (FJAKFKWKFKQ I LOVE THE TRIO SM 😭)
eventually the tea & cakes come and freminet runs up to lynette worried abt her, but she jus reassures him that she’s okay and they enjoy a peaceful afternoon snack together <33
later on m!reader gets a knock on his door, only to open it and find a teary eyed lyney with a massive fuckin bouquet. ofc we’re in shock, but before we question everything he chucks them on the floor of our house and gives us a massive hug, thanking us once again for looking out so much for his family (with lynette’s heartbreaking backstory i just know something like this would freak lyney tf out). we just hug him back and say how his family is our family and how he loves lyney’s siblings like his own (fixing my family issues w this request for real 😔) and i’m lyney is 100% planning their marriage once more in his head 😭.
Found Family (Lynette ver.)
Characters: Freminet, Lynette & Lyney x GN!Reader (no mention of gender, but reader is putting ring on Lyney's finger in daydream at the end)
Summary: Lynette is attacked by a creep, but Lyney's future husband/partner comes to the rescue!
Warnings: Creep attacking Lynette, fluff, silly little Lyney at the end
Word count: 674
A/n: Okayyy I have an ask from over a year ago about reader’s first time with Kazuha and I wanna write that so bad?? Do you guys want that too?👀 (This is not a continuation of the Freminet ver.)
Tumblr media
The streets of the Court of Fontaine were busy as a usual weekend afternoon would make them. You were walking around, observing the different food stalls and stores with Freminet trailing you. The boy was looking around at different things that interested him, tugging on your sleeve to show you items from time to time. (HELP HE’S SO ADORABLE) Suddenly, you spotted a familiar whisp of hair in the distance. You take Freminet’s hand and pull him to catch up with the other person.
“Lynette!” You call out to the boy’s sister, catching her attention. She turns around and gives you a nod in greeting. “Hello, [Y/N].” She ruffles her brother’s hair to greet him, as she usually would.
Lynette had a good feeling about you as soon as Lyney had introduced you to her. She had a knack for being able to ‘detect’ someone’s intentions and from day one, she was sure you were a good person. Normally she would keep her guard up and try to protect her brothers from people who would try to take advantage of them, but… You were different. She approved of you.
You invite them both for some tea and sweets at a smaller café, bringing them over to find a table. You ask them what they both want and head over to place the order at the counter. As you finish telling the server the orders and paying, you return to the table and sit with Freminet, striking up light conversation. When you turn to the lineup to see where Lynette is, you find a man getting quite close to her. You knew she was not a fan of social interactions, so it was a little odd to see someone acting so familiar with the girl while she was looking nervous. Something about his mannerisms was getting to you, but you could not quite figure out what it was until he touched her upper arm. The sudden disrespect towards your (future) sister-in-law prompts you to walk up to the two, and you grab the man’s arm holding on hard enough to make him let go.
“Kindly leave, before I make you.” You say, with a sarcastic smile on your face. Lynette is standing behind a hand resting on the area the man had been grabbing. He laughs in disbelief and scoffs.
“Or what? She obviously wants me.” Lynette turns away in disgust to wait at the counter for the order. Your vision glows and your grip strengthens.
“Or you’ll regret it.” An expression of fear settles on his face as he sees the anger in your eyes. You let his arm go and he turns around and leaves without saying another word. You turn back to Lynette, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder to get her attention.
“You okay?” You ask her. She nods and you both take the order and join Freminet at the table.
The tea and sweets get gobbled up and the three of you make your way back to the siblings’ home after finishing up. You say your goodbyes and you part ways with them, heading back to your small apartment.
A few hours later, a knock is heard at the door. You open it to see Lyney holding a massive bouquet with tears in his eyes. Before you can question him, he drops the bouquet on the ground and throws himself in your arms.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my siblings!!” He says into your neck, your arms coming to wrap around his back after you recover from your shock.
After a few moments, you pull him away from you and set your hands on both his shoulders.
“Your family is mine, Lyney. You entrusted your siblings with me, so I cared for them.” His eyes water up again and he hugs you even harder than the first time. As he cries into your shoulder, his mind keeps replaying a scene of you slipping a ring over his finger to tie the knot between you both forever.

oh god. oh god. oh.. oh gosh. I didn't expect this so soon. I didn't expect this today, I've been busy with life related things so the HYV calendar is really unbeknownst to me, is this update really next week already?? where can I rant about this- whERe can I rant about this-
oh. I made a blog for that exact purpose ! OKAY—!
fuck. fuck me, dude holy-
FUCK.
the slightly worried look on Arle's face as Snezhevna is reaching out her hand, only for her face to seemingly revert back to cold and neutral once the camera actually focuses in on her. Her tone is cold but her words are reassuring,,,,,,,,
ALSO GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. HOW GENTLY SHE HOLDS HER HAND.
the d o o r. the DOOR. THE FUCKING DOOR, CHAT. the slow opening at first, and once you can make out that it's certainly Arle's silhouette she shoves it fully open - both doors, both hands. incredibly attractive—. the FEAR in that man's eyes.
The crossed hands. We can't see her face but you know what expression she's making (it's not really an expression. it's neutral but you can feel it). THE FUCKING F E A R ON THAT MAN'S FACE.
Oh- she literally just grabbed him by the throat. Just like that- ! There's the expression. Oh, you feel it, alright. If you go frame by frame, you'll notice her eyes narrow in the slightest right before ->
POV: you're getting chocked out by Arlecchino, and that's actually the least of your worries. (my god she is beautiful).
I did not expect him to simply be thrown down to the ground and I ... d i d not expect her to step on his FACE. [insert gay masochistic joke here. you know the one]. Did not expect her to smile (this is the ONLY scene wherein we see her smile even slightly... huh...) *And the reason I say "I did not expect her to smile", is because with the momentum we were getting I thought she was straight up going to crush his throat, or stab him (hand, weapon or otherwise). It looked like she was digging the forefoot of her shoe into the guys head and not the... .. y'know deadly fucking heel, so that.. confused me. (and the sound when she supposedly stomped his head in did NOT sound all that impactful) but ANYWAYS I digress-
I'm of course assuming more happened after the cut to black because . madam where did you get that bloodstain on you—
BLOODSTAIN ON HER FACE!?!?!? (more on this in a second)
Freminet??? Freminet feature ! (not Lyney or Lynette.. interesting). :(((( the poor boy sounds so,, desensitized. His father
holy shit quick intermission. After the mental chronological fuckfest that was "The Song Burning in the Embers" I don't think I can look at Arle and the HotH the same anymore because she's.. she's like not even 10 years older than them (?) it's insane this doesn't make any sense- ANYWAYS.
HIS FATHER comes back with what we later see to be real blood on her face. Tells him "I've acquired new funds". We know what that means... HE knows what that means!!, and the way WE - THE AUDIENCE - know that Freminet knows what it means is because the boy replies "Oh.. Okay.."
LIKE-! chat omg this is truly just routine for them,,,, Like out of the 3 siblings, Freminet always gave off the biggest child assassin vibe, but wow. To see that routine and desensitized nature of the HotH's line of work just,, splayed out in a Character Trailer is . wow. and the look in his eyes as he says it is- wow.
YEAH UHH BLOODSTAIN ON HER FACE??/ The lighting in this scene now is evidently less saturated. And it's just- oh my FUCKING GOD it does so many things:
the blood on Arle's face looks... dry. it doesn't look as fresh as you may expect which could mean many things. It could mean she spent,,, hella long in there with that guy doing what needed to be done. It could mean she took care to something else immediately after dealing with the guy (perhaps smth related to the children Snezhevna wanted to save). But regardless it means she didn't put in the effort to clean her face and hide what happened. OBVIOUSLY !!! that is so . obviously her style but to S E E IT IN MY GENSHIN IMPACT CHARACTER TRAILER it's- oh my god
it serves to highlight the really, truly, bleak nature of the scene now that we know plain and simple Arlecchino just killed a man. There's no subtext, there's no reading between the lines. The only thing that didn't happen is that we didn't see contact nor see a body. But, no sugarcoating, Arlecchino killed a man. No one is hiding it. You are not surprised. No one should be but damn.
and ofc it acts as a representation of Snezhevna dying...
because it seems like the saturation is back once the camera switches to looking at Snezhevna laying in bed.
And is it me, or does it look like Arle's allowing herself to actually display a tinge of worry in her expression this time? And also, EVER so slightly in her tone as well. You can feel it, it's gentler.
"Once I'm better I'll start my next mission.."
THIS. THIS!! IN SO MANY WAYS THIS!
OKAY. so bear with me. I haven't actually read any of the sibling's character stories yet, so there could be a LOT of info I'm missing but:
There's still a pretty thought-provoking conversation going on (in MY mind, at least) about just how intensely these children are being trailed to be soldiers for the Fatui. They're obviously in an environment that indoctrinates them into being soldiers of SOME kind, but I still don't know what kind of soldier that's supposed to be. Are they all ALWAYS extensions of the Fatui? Or are they more-so extensions of Arlecchino specifically..? Snezhevna was obviously trying to help those children she came across, and I'm assuming that happened on her latest mission, so was the mission for a charitable cause?? What was her next mission supposed to be?? Same line of work? Saving people? Or would it switch up and was she going to be sent to "take care of" (kill .) someone???
So I don't know whether to interpret that line as a hint of them being overworked and 1) feeling like they need to continue their work out of pure fear that they'll be deemed ineffective and useless... or 2) feeling like they need to continue their work out of a sense of loyalty and duty to the place that took them in and raised them. Or both..
and ofc the funeral scene. I can't say much more than what's already shown right on the screen.
and am I bugging? Or is the location of the grave....
Tumblr media
#LONG post#first of all. I am kissing Genshin Impact's (HoYovere's entire) artstyle on the mouth.#second of all#Erin Yvette#oh my god Erin Yvette.#the 'My child...' line.. what if I literally blow up the world I'm going to explode#Arlecchino is drop dead gorgeous in this.

Freminet comforting a trans friend
I don’t know about anyone else but I fully headcanon Freminet to be trans-masc. I was just up past midnight thinking how comforting I think he would be and how he’d try to support someone close to him who is trans or identifies with the trans experience. 
(I’m nonbinary and though it technically falls under the trans umbrella I know a lot of people don’t think it counts. I also experience gender dysphoria though and wrote this purely as a self indulgent piece because I needed it today…)
I also… have not read Freminet’s profile story nor listened to a majority of his voice lines yet so apologies if any of this is inaccurate or out of character.
This fic does lean romantic as I wrote it with that in mind but it’s mostly Freminet being flustered which could also read as him being shy (for the most part) so interpret it as you wish. This is pure comfort with a little fluff sprinkled here and there.
There is no mention of any specified gender or agab for the reader, this fic is for everyone <3
Reader pronouns used: You/Your

The evening is quiet as the dark of night has fallen over fontaine. The sound of silence fills the street as people snore away in their own beds. Not everywhere is quiet though as the sound of held back sobs and sniffles comes from the outskirts of the city. As a silhouette sits by the ocean, soft waves hitting the land at your feet, you sit curled up with your knees tight to your chest. Your own feelings trapped inside a scream you hold in as well as you can, a slight whimper leaving your lips every now and again as you once again have to hold it back.
At this time, a figure leaves his house in the night. The sound of his siblings snores and unstoppable thoughts keeping him from sleep. He lets out a sigh as he once again makes his way out to his favorite spot. That just so happens to also be by the sea. He is startled as he notices his friend is already sitting by the docks, one of the few people he counts as a friend… is sitting in his favorite spot, crying your eyes out. A tight tug in his chest is felt at the sight and though he doesn't initiate interactions often. Though he avoids people like the plague… how many times has his friend been there for him in his time of need? How many times have you comforted him and made him feel safe?... How many times has he felt guilty that he can’t do anything for you in return? Gathering all the courage he can muster, he takes another step forward. Letting the soft moonlight fall over his blond hair, dark blue coat that he’d haphazardly thrown over his pajamas and gentle freckles covering his face. 
He approaches slowly, a bit worried he might scare you. What if you didn’t want his company? Would you mind if he sat next to you? Did you want to be alone right now? He shakes his head a little, trying to get the thoughts out of his head. He continues walking until he’s stood just a bit behind you. 
“Hey… are you alright?” He voices softly out into the wind, waiting to see your reaction. You flinch at the notice that someone is around. You hastily wipe your tears before taking a small breath, risking a glance behind you to see who it is. “I’m fine thank you, just- oh…” You seem to calm a bit at noticing it’s him and he can’t help but feel a little happy that you don’t keep your hastily built iron walls in his presence. You soon finish drying your tears. “Yeah-... yeah I’m okay. Thank you though, Fremmie.” You look up at him with a small tight smile before facing back out to the ocean. A few moments go by as he tries to assess what to do next. Clearly you are not okay… but what can he do about it? 
Sensing his hesitance you glance over your shoulder at him, patting the space beside you, motioning for him to sit down as well. He smiles a bit, the warmth in his chest growing, knowing that he is wanted here. He goes to sit down next to you, letting his legs rest over the edge of the docks, slightly swinging them back and first as you watch the ever moving ocean waves together. “Couldn’t sleep?” You gently ask out loud after a couple minutes have gone by in the comfortable silence. He nods, playing with his fingers as he tries to think of what to say, he wanted to comfort you after all but where should he even start?
“Yeah… I thought maybe the sound of the ocean could calm me down… But are you sure you’re okay? I… saw you crying…” You seem to freeze a bit as he finally acknowledges the earlier scene he came across.
“You don't have to tell me if you don’t want to but… Just… I want to be here for you too, as much as you are for me. So… if you wanted to talk, I’ll be here to listen…” He says, trailing off a bit at the end, you managed to hear all of it though and silence falls once again over you both for a bit longer as you think over his words. You’ve both known each other for quite a while now, you know how difficult it can be for Freminet to get the words he wants to say out, though you have noticed he’s gotten better at it and you’re very proud of him for that. A few minutes go by in the silence before a voice once again fills the air.
“It’s just… my body… doesn’t feel right.” Freminet looks up at you, thinking over your words. You still haven’t faced him, just looking down to the water below them. “Just… all the social rules don’t feel right… The way that people address me doesn’t feel right… seeing my own reflection feels like there’s a stranger staring back at me… The clothes that people expect me to wear, the things people expect me to be interested in, the way they expect me to act, it’s all!...It’s all just… wrong.” 
He sees your grip on your knees tighten as you continue to speak. Your eyebrows forming lines over your forehead and your eyes once again growing glassy and foggy from the growing tears. He knows that feeling… better than he would have liked to… he knows what you’re going through. Looking back out over the horizon as a few birds dance silently through the sky, he speaks.
“I used to feel that way too… The clothing I would wear before I got to the orphanage, the way people expected me to act… the words people would address me with… the body I was born in… I know that feeling all too well.” You slowly lift your head from being buried in your knees. Turning to look at him after a moment, and he sees you out of the corner of his eye as you put the pieces together. “You… you too? you were…” You sound a little breathless, as if you didn’t believe it was possible but he simply nods. 
“But- How- How did you…How did you…get to where you are now?...How… How do I get there too?” You still sound as if he’s given you the results of a solution to an unsolvable problem and he can't help but smile at your reaction. He remembers being in the same seat when the possibility was offered to him. You seem to flush a bit at his smile but don’t dare look away. 
“After the orphanage took me in, we were all allowed to present however we wanted… and ´Father´ made sure that everyone was respected in that regard… The house of the hearth may be made to grow weapons for the Fatui but… somehow this… was an important rule to her… so no one dared to question it.” The house of the hearth may not be his favorite place but he can certainly thank ´Father´ for making the slight hope he had into a real possibility. And now, though the social rules still confound him and socializing is not his favorite thing, he gets to be himself now. And that, he’s thankful for.
You seem to be lost in thought for a moment, your gaze locked on the open air between you both. He takes in the way he can practically hear you thinking as the tear tracks on your cheeks slightly shimmer in the moonlight as they slowly dry. Your hair being swept by the wind every now and then as the waves of the ocean are the only ones speaking.
“Do you think… Do you think I could too?” You hesitantly whisper. A few seconds go by before you whip your head up from staring down at the floor of the docks. Freminet flinches for a second at the sharp movement but continues to listen for you to continue.
“Do you think… I could be myself too?...” Your voice a little louder, but he can see you’re not confident in the idea. As if it’s an impossible dream that you haven’t been allowed to even imagine. “I think so… and I want to support you… whatever you want to do about it.” He says quietly, a smile growing on his face as he once again looks down to his own hands, the eye contact becoming too much. Silence follows for a few moments and he starts to wonder if you heard him in the first place. Before he hears you sniffle again. Looking up in confusion he sees that you’re still looking straight at him, but the tears are once again streaming down your cheeks as you’re biting your lip trying not to let any sounds out.
He panics for a moment. He didn’t say anything wrong did he?! What is he supposed to do?? You see his panic though and do your best to give him a smile through the tears. “Thank you, I’d like that” You say as you try to wipe the tears again and he feels really relieved that they’re not sad tears anymore. He watches you try to stop the tears for a while but notices that they don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. He feels himself lift his hand, not really sure what to do but… he trusts you, you make him feel safe and comfortable… and loved… he wants you to feel that way around him too. Before he can realize what he’s doing he’s grabbed your hand that was just on its way up to wipe more tears. For a second he doesn’t know what to do now that he’s gotten this far but even as he feels his face heat up from… embarrassment? flustered at his own boldness? He doesn’t quite know but regardless-
“It’s okay… sometimes you just need to let it out. Water carries emotions too you know?... and your tears might carry some of the negative ones you hold onto… so let them out please, and then you can fill that space with positive emotions instead…I… I’d like to help with that actually…if you’d allow it…” He trails off once again, feeling like his face is burning but still holding onto your hand. Tightly enough that you can feel safe but loose enough that you can easily get out if you so wanted to. He feels a bit awkward being so honest but it wouldn’t be the first time you both talked heavy emotions before. He feels your hand tighten a bit around his.
“I’d like that.. a lot actually.” You let out a small giggle through your still falling tears at the end and he glances up from both your interwoven hands to see your face is also carrying a gentle red and he can only imagine what his own face looks like at the moment. But he smiles back, keeping his focus on your hands. You both sit there in the silence, you sniffle here and there but otherwise the sound of the waves and the occasional bird is all that’s heard. Both your focus seems to be on your interlocked hands and at some point you start to rub little circles on his knuckles. He freezes for a moment at first but then starts to do the same to your own hand. A few more moments go by and neither of you have any idea what time it is or how long has passed by this point.
“If it’s okay to ask… How would you prefer to be addressed?... I know you might not want everyone to know yet, but… if you want, I could call you that when it’s just us?” You look up at him, away from the small fish that are now swimming in the water just below your feet. You look surprised at first and then really happy.. and then a bit thoughtful and confused again… But he only smiles a bit and looks back out to the ocean.
“It’s okay too if you don’t know yet… but whenever you do figure it out… if you want to, I could do that. And… if there’s anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable… then I’d like to. I’ll… I’ll always be here for you… okay?” He seems to get more and more shy as the sentence goes on but he doesn’t stop, because he knows these are words he wants to say. Words that he thinks are important that you hear… that you know. That you’re aware he’ll always support you, that he cares about you and wants you to be happy… That there is someone who understands…
He manages to throw you a glance through the layer of shyness now at the forefront after his honest words and almost finds himself back in a blushing mess by the way you’re looking at him with such warmth in your eyes. You smile at him and nod, most of your tears having dried by this point and you look at him with such a gentle, caring look as you hold his hand a little tighter. He can hear his own heartbeat in his ears as he tries to understand what that look means but before he has a chance you’re looking back out at the ocean… But you seem to be feeling a bit better. Whatever that feeling is, it can wait, as long as you’re okay, for the moment, everything is okay. He got the words out, you know he cares and will be there for you, he feels happy too as his goal of comforting you seems to have succeeded.
Maybe it’s time you both get some sleep soon, it is still in the middle of the night after all. But for just this moment, you stay and enjoy the midnight ocean breeze with him. You hold his hand with warmth and care. You smile despite the drying tear tracks and he can’t help but smile a bit too. 
It’ll be okay. You’ll figure it out and whenever you’re ready, he’ll be there to support you with all he’s got and he knows that his siblings would accept you with open arms as well should you be comfortable with them knowing. There are people who care about you who would understand and do everything in their power to help. And he’s proud to be one of them.

Thank you for reading, I hope you have a good day/night ❤

closed starter for @immobiliter [Furina]
The house is buzzing with activity and noise today - something that sometimes can't be avoided with so many kids of various ages in one place. Freminet has learned not to let it bother him too much and there's usually a quiet room to be found in which he can keep to himself, but some days the mere thought of someone bursting in and asking him to play with them makes him restless. Today is one such day, so instead of hiding in his workshop he decides to go out for a while (since there are no tasks to be performed for Father) and return when things hopefully have calmed down.
In search of peace and quiet he usually turns to the sea but today Fontaine is blessed with wonderful weather; in fact there hasn't been rain in two days now and it would almost be a waste to not enjoy that while it lasts. On his way to the harbor he buys a box of sweets from a small bakery - macarons in the flavors bulle fruit, ajilenakh nut and berry - and then proceeds on his way with slightly slower steps. He holds the box carefully as he walks, not wanting to crush the delicate treats prematurely, despite his intention to eat them in just a few minutes.
When he isn't going for a dive Freminet likes to sit on the steps by the harbor, a little to the side of where the ships anchor and people get on and off. From there it's nice to watch the birds circle in the sky above them and fish jumping out of the water in the distance as the ships go by. The sun is bright but not too warm and yet Freminet plays with the idea of taking his shoes off and letting his feet dangle in the water. Lyney would probably say that it's too cold for that, but he's never felt the chill of the water as easily as the others did. (The cold never bothered him anyway ❄!)
Tumblr media
Upon arriving at his usual spot, much to his surprise Freminet finds someone already sitting there. Despite her back being turned to him, her clothes and hair are unmistakable. While it would have been a struggle to approach just about anyone, it feels extra daunting to walk up to the former Hydro Archon and Freminet finds himself temporarily trapped between wanting to sit a little further down the path by himself and not wanting to be impolite.
He weighs the options for a few moments before eventually moving to sit next to her - but not too close. If he came here to be alone, maybe she came for the same reason. "H-hello," he says quietly once he's settled, without looking her way. A pause follows, in which he watches the way the small waves clash against the platform and presses his fingers against the edges of the box in his hands.
