#rinvillette

[zhongrin]

Are you and your husband's early birds or night owls? 🥹💕 And how do you handle possible differences / similarities? How do you spend the night / morning? ❤️🥰

night owls: me, wriothesley, neuvillette

early birds: zhongli, al haitham

zhongli doesn't need as much sleep as normal mortals but he knows if he stays up, i will too, so he'll try to pull me to bed on reasonable hours, especially if he knows i have to work tomorrow hahah but he goes easy on me on weekends, and he'll stay up with me!!

neuvillette also doesn't need as much sleep, but he burns the midnight oil mostly because of his work. i'm the one who'll have to pull him to sleep, unfortunately. it takes him a while to get used to a 'human routine', but the melusines are very glad that their dad is getting enough rest now!

al haitham is a creature of habit and he likes following a set routine throughout his day, so i think his body's circadian rhythm is just exceptionally good. sleeps at 11, wakes up at 6. works out in the morning, gets coffee and breakfast, and goes to wake me up so we can prep to go to work ᰔᩚ

wriothesley does his workouts in the evenings or nights, so sometimes the adrenaline rush persists, especially if he drank a strong tea after. he doesn't have any problem staying up with me (though if he's tired he'll fall asleep on me orz) most nights and would just be happy to drink tea and listen to music as i read or play games or do whatever, hehe.

I just need you to know that I know your Neuvillette pain. As a Zhongli selfshipper, I feel like Neuvi is the one man I should stay clear of, but he's CALLING to me, and I must obey. (Also I have a guaranteed pull on the next banner, so he's coming home, and he and Li are gonna have to learn to tolerate each other in the teapot.) Maybe I will write a fic where they fight over me, to get that out of my system?

ahh hello again! thank you for sharing your thoughts and struggles <3 i'm glad someone can kind of relate to the dilemma… ૮◞ ﻌ ◟ა

i mean honestly, i have friends who selfships with both and i think they're super cute! i love them! i think they work so well! i support them wholeheartedly, and i believe with all my heart that those two would move mountains and seas (literally and metaphorically) for them!!!

…. it's just that specifically in my case, i already have al haitham and wriothesley? so honestly in my head i feel so bad because zhongli (or, i should clarify, the zhongli in my head) - a literal dragon - is already being so patient with the addition to our little home. mindlessly bringing another dragon into this dynamic (who literally has shown on several occasions that he's able to put priority over his duty of ensuring justice over anything, wishes to enact judgment over the archons and has hinted that physical altercation may be a possibility, and who zhongli is canonically clearly avoiding for reasons that have yet to be clarified).... feels like i'm just taking advantage of that patience and kindness.

and unfortunately, i don't think i can bear to do that. or at least not right now ૮ •᷄ ༝ •᷅ ა

#rin answers #rin is having tea with: darktypedreams #rin selfships #zhongwrinth #rinvillette #you may just think 'you are overthinking just enjoy it' but you see i am unable to enjoy it fully hence i am torn over this hsldjfklsjdklf #'just twist neuvillette's character' but it's such a core part of his personality and i feel like it's not neuvillette if he doesn't- #-act that way ;;;; #ough idk i need time to think about this more. i'll just simp for him in private whenever the mood strikes. probably not too much here.

ok but what if i told you i have been thinking of rinvillette......... super slow-burn romance........... one-sided pining......... denial........... misunderstandings because utterly horrible communication attempts...... two awkward dense idiots in love............ they only kiss at like chapter 367............ what then.....

#rin rambles #rin selfships #brain noes stohp hsjdhskdkdjls #................. no one look at me #thank god it's weekdays not many of you are online-

*taps mic* yes hi hello is this working. ahem ahem. testing one two three.

ah yes. we're back to normal now lol

..... were yall surprised ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )

long story short, i just wanted to do something for april fools… last year albedo made an appearance, so i thought of doing the same this year... but i felt like it would be repetitive. so given the recent developments and future events, this idea came up lol

in any case, it's the truth that i've been warming up to neuvillette.... i've been writing more for him, and if you saw my 2023 wrapped post you probably saw him as a 'runner-up'... and i really do mean it when i say he's been kinda occupying the back of my brain since last year hskdljfklsd at the end of his story quest... his tone when talking to kiara.... sobsob ueueue

however, i'm honestly still unsure if i can/want to have an actual selfship with him (ó﹏ò｡) i can't figure out how it'll work out yet... it just feels like with neuvillette's canon personality, he wouldn't even think of glancing my way in the first place, given the circumstances…. and zhongli... what do i do about him.... ough....

maybe he'll be a separate ship (e.g. zhongwrinth is one au, wrinlette in one au) on his own… maybe rinvillette will be a 'pining but not actually dating' kind of selfship.... idk..... on that note, i really should be making a selfship post huh lol

also, he's rerunning in less than 24 hours (like. 19 hours-ish for me) and i hoped this would be a sufficient offering for the hydro dragon to come home early… i'll play him twinkle twinkle little star on my guzheng while pulling or something, since it should arrive tomorrow afternoon lmao… i hope he likes the instrument that 'sounds like flowing water' hdlshdls

in any case, thank you for interacting in the short little event! it was more of a spontaneous decision on my part, but i hope you all had fun and i didn't butcher neuvillette's character too much, he's so hard to muse orz <3

lil doodle bonus of what could have been:

#rin rambles #the april fools' part isn't the ''haha you thought i really liked him?'' but more like ''haha you thought he'd be a yandere? weeelll....'' #lol i'm sorry i got too silly #neuvillette is a complex character i feel like.... especially since his moral compass is so attuned to the side of 'justice' #ofc i could always make him ooc and dial that 'judge duty' part of his into the more extreme scale. you mix that up with love and i think- #-it would make a good driver for obsessive love. but i didn't think you could explore those series of complex emotions in one day. so yeah. #you get conflicted pining neuvillette who's just a little bitter about things this time. lucky you. hsdlfsldkjf #anyway #why is this man so hard to muse orz he took all my brain juices so i'm gonna eep soon.... goodnight....
