wip wednesday
@lavampira tagged me for wip wednesday, ty beloved! Tagging @myreia @gwaha @veeples @greyyourwarden to share something if they want!
Working on some more Avi’li and Erenville bonding and I’ve had lots of thoughts lately about Erenville’s short story.
Endwalker spoilers ahead.
“It occurs to me that I’ve never thanked you.”
Avi’li blinks at him. “What for?”
“For saving the star. I’m happy to be alive, of course, but there are still so many stories left to discover.” Erenville props an elbow on his knee and leans forward, chin nestled in his hand. “All the people who came to Sharlayan to help had their own stories, their own histories that, despite my best efforts, I may only scratch the surface of. What would have become of them if you hadn’t acted—what is that look for?”
At some point while Erenville was talking, Avi’li had pulled a leg to his chest. He smiles at Erenville now with his cheek squished against his knee, expression fond.
“What look?” Avi’li’s smile becomes a grin.
“The one you’re making right now.”
“You’re just being real cute is all.” Erenville’s mouth drops open, a confused ‘cute?’ muttered under his breath as Avi’li continues…

I am so sorry this took so long😭i tried my best to make this good so it'd kinda make up for the time but idk, hope u like it😔🫶
ps: i changed a few things but not like the main idea yk, lmk if its okay😔✌
ps: pls lmk any spelling mistakes😬
----------------------------------------------------
It was your first official assignment at the BSAA, there would be no “babysitters” on the field with you, which you were glad. It was supposed to be simple, go in, gather information on the cult’s activities and get out.
Of course there was some danger to it, such as getting caught by the village leader leading to endless torture and experiments. Just light consequences if you make a mistake.
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊
You arrived at day time, a few hours past the morning sermon. You believed that pretending to be a lost traveler during the day was less suspicious than at night.
You took mental notes of everything you’d see, the architecture, the clothings, language. Soon enough you knew exactly what to say and to whom.
However, your good luck couldn't last forever. And that's how you find yourself trying to argument your way out of Heisenberg's factory.
You knew he wasn't fully in agreement with Mother Miranda, from what the villagers said.
Unfortunately for you, he needed a favor from the priestess, hence you now being dragged to the Lord’s meeting.
Donna didn't recognize you at first, in all honesty the dollmaker was barely paying attention to the meeting, choosing to get lost in thought while staring at the ground.
However, you had a birthmark near your right eye, noticeable enough that the moment Donna looked up she knew it was you. Suddenly the room felt as if it closed on her, her breathing started to get inconsistent, her hands tightened around her dress while Angie quietly tried to calm her down.
You weren't supposed to be here, you were supposed to be safe, she tried so hard to keep you safe.
The minutes passed in a blur, the Lord’s voices were almost unintelligible, until Mother Miranda ordered Lady Dimitrescu to choose your fate. Donna was quick to rise to her feet and quickly whisper a request to the priestess, who distrusted her eagerness to keep you but accepted nonetheless.
1989
You were born four weeks before winter, so quiet and pale that for a moment Donna worried you were sick. You brought a joy that she hadn't felt in a year since her parents died.
Until winter arrived, and then suddenly you were both trapped inside the Manor.
The voices became too much, her fear was too loud. There was so much death in this house, Donna feared you would be just another victim of it, so she let you go.
The Lady spent the entire winter loving you the best she could, memorizing every laugh, every cry.
The Duke was the one who helped in getting you to a good foster home, away from Romania, away from her, away from her curse.
During that year, spring didn't reach the Beneviento Manor
Present day
The walk to the Manor was quiet, especially since you knew of the dollmaker’s ability, annoying her would do nothing but get you killed.
However, you remained observant, noticing how anxious Donna seemed, even though she was in her territory and you presented no threat.
Once approaching her house you chuckled at the sight of a few daffodils blooming. Donna quickly stopped in her tracks and turned to stare at you.
You smiled awkwardly. “Sorry, just saw some daffodils.”
The dollmaker nodded slowly, scanning the garden looking for the flower. “It means rebirth.”
You made a noise of agreement. “I was just thinking of a song.”
Donna made a low “oh” and continued her walks towards the house.
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊
It took two weeks for you to talk to each other. Donna was overwhelmed with the need to care for you but simultaneously afraid of telling who she really was and end up with you hating her. You, on the other hand, carried on the mission, quietly investigating the house and its inhabitants, Donna’s constant disappearance only made it easier.
It wasn't a long conversation, just small talk during dinner, but for Donna it was everything.
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊
Only one week later and you overheard a phone call of intruders. Your first thought was a rescue team, you hadn't found out much regarding the village’s routine but knew enough of the Lords.
You had been with the BSAA since you were a child, they picked you up in an orphanage claiming you had great potential to protect the world. You believed in them, they were the only family you knew.
Therefore, you took your chance and ran away from the Manor in the middle of the night, trying to find the team.
Donna noticed a few minutes later, rushing off of bed, praying to every god that nothing happened to you.
She found you in a clearing, sitting on the floor surrounded by who Donna believed was the intruders. You barely moved when she approached you, slowly sitting down beside you.
There were tears streaming down your face, your gaze locked in the bloodied knife in your hand. “They came to kill me.” You said, not turning to look at her.
Donna took a deep breath, keeping her hatred for those men hidden while trying to comfort you. “Mother called me to warn that they may stop by at the Manor, they always do this when one of their spies fail.”
You turned to look at her, trying to hold a sob. “But I didn't fail, I swear I didn't! Why do they not want me anymore?!” You could barely breathe, the tears were flowing freely, the knife long forgotten while you held yourself. “Why does no one want me? What did I do?” Your voice no louder than a whisper.
Donna could feel her heart break at every tear that went down your face, she knew it wouldn't be fair to tell you now, so she pulled you close and held you while you cried.
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊
Afterwards you willingly stayed with Donna, being more talkative towards the woman, even sometimes participating in Angie's game.
Even though the dollmaker was definitely happier, her anxiety still took a toll on her. The other Lords and Miranda kept questioning why she’s protecting the girl, even you were confused but decided not to test your luck by asking her.
It was during a sunny day when Donna decided to tell you the truth. You were both under a tree, you were laying with your eyes closed and your head in her lap while she read a book.
You looked so peaceful that she almost gave up but she couldn't keep this hidden forever, despite the others attempt at secrecy, she knew they were already investigating.
Donna gently tapped your shoulder, silently asking you to sit down, to which you did.
The dollmaker took a deep breath, picking her nails as a way to destress and strongly avoiding your gaze. “I-I was just wondering if you’ve ever wanted to meet your mother.”
Your eyebrows shot up in surprise but quickly turned into confusion. You had never told her your past, in fact it took you weeks to tell her your first name. “I’m sorry, what?”
Donna could feel her heartbeat getting faster, she still refused to look you in the eyes. “Mother was investigating…” The dollmaker thought back into lying, shaking her head. “That was a lie, I’m sorry. I just-I-”
You stopped her mid sentence and held her hand. “Breathe. It’s okay, you’re okay.”
Donna quickly nodded, wiping the tears that started to fall. “I’m your mother.”
You furrowed your brows, trying to control your breathing. “You’re lying.”
The dollmaker shook her head, gripping your hands tighter. “I’m not, I swear. I-I was so scared I didn't want to let you go but it was the only option I had. Please, please, don't hate me.”
You felt confused, you stared at her for a while, hoping that it’s just a stupid joke, but it wasn't. And then you felt betrayed, sad, angry. You wanted to scream at her, to forgive her, to cry. But you did none of it, you only removed your hand from hers, and wiped the few tears that slipped. “No.”
Donna’s eyes widened and before she could say anything you spoke again. “I’ll pack my belongings and leave.”
You rose to your feet slowly, afraid that your legs might give out, and walked towards the Manor.
The dollmaker quickly followed you, gently grabbing your arm and turning you around. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Just-I-please give me a chance.”
You scoffed. “Why? No offense but I don't want to be abandoned for a third time.”
You tried to release your arm but Donna kept her hold. “I know you have no reason to trust me. But let me prove myself to you, I won't make the same mistake, I promise.”
You stared at her hands trapping your arm. “Your promises mean nothing to me.”
Donna nodded, attempting to not break down in front of you. “I know.”
You took a deep breath and looked at the woman in front of you. “I can't take it again, so please don't ask me to stay just so you break me again.”
“I won't.”
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊
You waited a year to tell the others since you needed more than a few words to believe the dollmaker and officially meet her family.
Alcina was extremely happy to have another child in the family, even though you constantly reminded her that you were an adult.
At first Karl was awkward, especially with being the one to have kidnapped you. Sometimes Donna regretted the time she introduced you two, most of it was when you’d show up back home covered in coal.
Moreau was glad to have a new friend, but mostly confused as to when Donna had a kid.
And Miranda…well she tried to kidnap you once she found out the pregnancy was during the cadou’s implant. However after a lot of talk and some threats she agreed to only a few blood samples.
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊
For all the following years, wherever you were she was. Donna took her promise to never leave you quite serious, of course you both learned boundaries after a while.
Even though you were an autumn child, you brought spring back into her life. And in return, she gave you a family.

FORBIDDEN ROMANCE! ( will die on this hill)
Friends to lovers
Enemies to lovers
“Oh fuck. Oh no I love them” type shii
More to come soon.
General rules:
Nsfw is aloud but nothing crazy. (By that I’m not calling any of anyone’s kinks “crazy” what I mean like super, super intense bdsm, knife play, gun play, blood kinks, incest, stepcest, (let’s just say anything ending in ‘cest’ is a no.) and everything MUST be consensual.)
I’m a bit hesitant about writing human x na’vi nsfw and I probably won’t write human reader x na’vi fluff. It’s just I have a hard time visually imagining a human and a na’vi having sex without an avatar body. I am not against the idea in any way, but the general concept does throw me off a bit (I always imagine some type of detrimental injury occurring bc we are so smol compared to na’vi)
In all, I’m not the biggest fan of writing for a human reader, and will probably turn down requests for a human x Na’vi fic.
I will however, absolutely write for avatar reader x na’vi character of any sort! Or even a half-human half na’vi reader or some kind of biracial na’vi? (I’ve seen that concept a few times in the fandom an it’s honestly so much fun)
I do allow things like comfort for self harm, abuse, traumatic experiences, racism, etc. but these things will never be romanticized.
Y/n won’t have a name. Sorry, I just don’t see the point in x reader if the reader has a name. I will always refer to them as Y/n.
I write for a female reader for the most part but please, if you want any other pronouns please let me know in your request.
Y/n will always be of any size! That includes plus size or on the skinnier size. If you would like me to specify that in your request let me know.
I do age up my characters. If you don’t like it you can head out.

waterborne poetry reactions (belated) (long post)
XINGQIU GOT FUCKING SMASHED IN THIS EVENT. BULLYING XINGQIU HOURS I LOVE TO SEE IT (affectionate)
bro got roasted for his handwriting, is Baffled by the mondstadters, then spends an entire day missing out on [whatever that was] and STILL DOESNT HAVE A CLUE WHAT HAPPENED HAHAHA im sorry i love bullying him
please never tell xingqiu whats going on it's payback <3
CHONGYUN DIONA AND MIKA. i need to hold them omg,,,, i was using freminet to wander around so in my heart they r just 4 cryo kids in a terrarium what will they do!! that combo was quite cute
CHONGYUN YANG MODE?!?!?!?!?! ON SCREEN??????? WAAAAHHHHHHHHH
he was adorable ;;;;;___;;;;; his little eye sparkles and the jumping T_T also the near-rap speed that his lines were delivered in was hilarious (thank you kinsen for ur service)
my son.... please never feed him chilis again
CHONGYUN IMPACT. that's all
now full of unfounded hope that chongyun will someday get an event about his pure yang spirit since they mentioned it a fair few times here
give him the deep lore he deserves
also XIAOYUN?!?!?!?! (only seeing what i want to see) THEY TALKED!!!! IN PERSON ON SCREEN THEY TALKED AND XIAO WASNT DISPARAGING!!!! im sorry this is what a rarepair with no food does to a mf
xiaolumi so strong (or xiaother if u prefer)
oughguhguhg the rhyming couplets part was SOOOO CUTE!! idk they did good with the pacing of the banter i think 🥺
adding onto that the camera angles and cuts this event were actually really nice and creative i think. they made it more engaging (the quick pan from chongyun to xingqiu at the end of the 3rd act, hu tao popping out from behind venti's shoulders during the couplet exchange, etc) it was REALLY good really funny. added to the experience a lot <3
Also venti zhongli are truly the most archon old friends ever
that cutscene was actually so pretty. It's drawn in the same style as Lyney's: very textured lines, slightly reminscent of linocuts, quite a few handdrawn parts, especially where there's water/liquid movement present, etc. Maybe this is a Fontaine style animated cutscene, since the oceanids and lyney are both from there? anyways. i'm intrigued—I wanna see if there are regional cutscene styles or something (that'd be very impressive)
the "close ur eyes paimon/diona" line was so fucking funny. traveler's been the third wheel a bunch of times but never this explicitly
also ! for people icked out by the morality of kid finch's crush on the oceanid: it is Fiction with a capital F
on the one hand I agree with the above sentiment, but it's also just funny to think about. first canon monsterfucker ? /JJJJJJJJJJJJJ don't kill me for that joke
Real thoughts: I think it was actually really sweet how he fell in love with a fairytale. Someone said the oceanid could've been aromantic coded to make their love story more morally palatable; I agree, it would've been cool if she was aro, but I don't think their romantic relationship is like somehow terrible and gross either
overall ending was really mid tbh, I appreciate the character growth of everyone who was on screen but literally all the other characters just disappeared. It was really unsatisfying lol especially for an event that was supposed to be hte gathering/unison of mond and liyue
would've been better if the second day's rhyming couplets ended the event I think; you'd have to tweak it to fit the mood of the oceanid/finch reveal but literally anything works, the ending was so anticlimactic
overall event: 10/10 for giving me the character interactions I wanted, and those that I never knew I needed, 5/10 because the minigames are. not the best, I get the intentions but the execution could've been better. And then 5/10 for story arc (heavily influenced by how mid the ending was LMAO)
I want to go through all the poems and their english translations because I Know somethings gonna get screwed up and I'm also just curious as to how they translated it

hellooo could u possibly write an arven and f!younger sibling!reader where the reader is the one who becomes a paldea champion and when the four friends go to area zero, she finds out about their dad first, has a small breakdown, and then has to witness arven’s reaction to the news like she did and it’s just an angsty mess but eventual sibling fluff at the end when they leave area zero pls and thank u
Home
(So I’m assuming you played Violet! I played Scarlet, so Ill try to keep their differences unmentioned for simplicity’s sake(like the academy name, I believe it’s different depending on which game you play?))
Arven x Fem! Sibling! Reader
Genre: Fluff, Slight Angst, Comfort, Siblings
Summary: Your journey through Paldea with your older brother brings not only friends and new experiences, but a devastating truth.
(Listen to Home and Home II, both by Dotan, while writing this)
~~~~~~
It was the first day of a new school year, and you were finally able to join the Academy. You were excited, your Fidough running on your heels as you both ascended the Academy steps. You’d met Nemona on your way to the Academy, and you both shared several battles on the way there, nearly making you late.
Unlike Arven, you loved battling, almost as much as Nemona. Battles were thrilling to watch if you were involved.
Your first few weeks weren’t too eventful, simply getting used to your teachers and other staff, meeting new trainers, and sharing classes with your new friends.
Then the Treasure Hunt began, and while the Gyms sounded exciting, you naturally followed the path Arven took.
You had witnessed the heartbroken, lost look on Arven’s face when he came home with Mabostiff hurt nearly beyond repair. So when he told you he’d found a way to possibly help, you jumped at the chance to heal your brothers beloved pokemon.
With your help, Mabostiff was back to perfect health due to the Herba Mysticas, and your now Dachbun couldn’t be any more ecstatic to have her childhood friend back.
You still found time to do the gyms and fight your way through Team Star bases while helping Arven, and it wasn’t long before your calls with your father, Professor Turo, led you, your brother, and your two new friends to Area Zero.
Area Zero was… beautifully terrifying. Pokémon lived in what you would call a paradise, yet the strange beasts called Paradox Pokémon began to grow in numbers as you traveled downwards.
You got all the way to the bottom, stories having been shared along the way, up until a point where your friends had to fight off a hoard of Paradox pokemon to give you a chance to rush on ahead.
Nothing could’ve prepared you for what you’d learned next.
You were ecstatic to see your father again as you entered the room, immediately running up to hug him before he could speak. But something was off, he wasn’t warm or soft like a person should be.
An apologetic smile met your confused look, “Turo” setting a hand on your shoulder.
“There’s something you need to know, (Y/n).”
You were close to sobbing by the end of the explanation of what happened to your father, your face buried into the lab coat to hide your tears. A cold hand settled atop the crown of your head, both comforting and unsettling as it simply sat there.
Eventually, Robot Turo managed to get you to let go, guiding you to an elevator as he explained what needed to be done.
The time machine your father built needed to be shut off, and Robot Turo would be forced to fight back against you due to the defensive mechanism built within.
The book Arven held onto now used to activate the machine, the battle against Robot Turo was grueling. Difficult against a team full of Paradox Mons.
But you won, and Robot Turo began to crystallize and glitch, one side wanting to help you, the other creepily going along with the programming.
It wasn’t long before your brother and friends joined you. All it took was one look at your crying face to tell Arven his hunches were correct.
After a battle between ‘Raidons, where yours came out victorious, the time machine whirred faster.
“Papa!” You cried out, running a few steps past ‘Raidon, tears in your eyes. Even if this Turo was a robot, you couldn’t help but still see your father, even when the robot’s eyes and body were slightly crystalized.
You felt Arven step up next to you, a frown on his face. Robot Turo lifted his hand in a wave goodbye, his body lifting into the time machine, most likely never to be seen by you again.
The night back at the Academy dorms was quiet, even when Nemona and Penny had tried to cheer you guys up on the road back.
You watched as Mabostiff and Dachbun curled up together in Arven’s dorm room, seated at the kitchen counter.
You turned at the clink of a bowl, turning to see your favorite food being pushed towards you.
“Thanks, Arven.” You murmured, offering a smile as you began to eat.
“‘Course.” He sits next to you, glancing over to Mabostiff and Dachbun. “…Would you like to sleep in my dorm tonight? I’ve got some extra bedding.”
You remember when you and Arven would sleep on the floor together when you were younger, usually on nights where one of you couldn’t sleep.
“That sounds nice.”

Hi!! What are your personal favourite fics ever ? And could u do a list of your fav deleted fics? I think I really just need new fics to read Haha Xx
Oh, I love that question. Okay, I already have a list of Favorite Fics, but here are my fave deleted ones:
Tumblr media
Into The Blue by Zarah5 (E, 117K) honestly, I love all of this author’s fics, but I think this is my favorite of theirs. Louis as a flirty scuba instructor? Newly single Harry who just wants a fling? Boys living on other sides of the world who only have a few weeks together? Heartbreak. Hot af smut. OT5 friendship. Please….give me all that shit.
Pull Me Under by zarah5 (E, 140K) One of the very first fics I read when I came into this fandom…and I’ve read it multiple times since. Zarah’s fics hold up every time. This one has it all, great pacing, ot5 friendship, banter, super sexy smut, etc etc. Plus, Louis being super jealous of Harry’s best friend.
to hell with romancing by bottomlinsons (E, 8K) This is worth reading for Harry’s internal monologue alone. This is just a funny fic that morphs into a sweet and really sexy one.
Dream Awake by protagonist_m (M, 31K) beautifully written, this one pulled me in and I got lost in the story so deeply. It’s one of those fics that really deserved a wider audience.
pretty in pink by hereforlou (E, 6K) I love this author’s writing and they give suck a realistic portrait of an established relationship in this one: Harry is whiny and needy. Louis is indulgent and loving. The whole thing is very sexy.
into joy i’m sailing by hereforlou (E, 5K) This fic is so tender and soft and sexy. The whole idea behind the fic was just something that felt very real and so fully realized.
This is cheating, but I honestly love so many of hereforlou’s fics, so here are all the ones I have.
feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream by togetherwecouldbealright (M, 123K) I read this one so, so long ago that all I remember is that I loved it, that there’s some really romantic and sweet moments, and that my notes from way back when only say, “OMG this one is so good! And I’ve barely gotten to the smut!” HAHAHAHA!
Good Enough to Eat by objectlesson (E, 7K) This author always does such a good job with depicting young, queer love and the way their characters experience the overwhelm of realizing they’re not straight, realizing the’ve met their Person, pining, and giving in. I love a lot of their fics, but I think this is my favorite of them. However, I highly recommend looking through all of them.
as he that sleeps here swims by Acavall (M, 23K) This was one of the very first fics I read in the fandom way back in 2013. It’s sweet and charming and a little melancholy (happy ending of course). Harry’s a ghost, there’s a little magic involved, and there’s a sweet 8K epilogue, as well.
In Vogue by otpforever (M, 121K) This one is just….so much. The intensity of the characters, the crazy hot smut (oh god, the window scene), the FASHION, the angst (I had to take a walk around the block after reading it), the epic love story between two men who could rule the world if they could just figure their shit out. Loved it.
like a boomerang by youwill (M, 48K) Very loosely based on the movie Groundhog’s Day (essentially just the concept of reliving a day over and over), this fic is delightful and charming and really worth a read.
Take Care Down By The Water by shyserious (M, 37K) Not quite mermaids, but oh my goodness I loved this fic. Magical realism, mythical creatures, dreamy/moody atmosphere, beautiful writing.
Where Your Heart Is by tvshow_addict (E, 154K) One of my all-time favorite fics and an absolute must read IMO. Chock full of hurt/comfort (both emotionally and physically), this fic is so moving and so beautiful and will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride from start to finish.
The Road Less Travelled by freetheankles E, 98K) Also known as “the lumberjack fic”, this fic is an instant classic. The author makes widowed Louis’ pain and depression so real and so moving. The characters are three-dimensional and complex and the well written sexual tension is finally relieved with super hot smut.
You Always Make Me Smile by champagneboyband (E, 60K, WIP) Yes, it’s a WIP. I’m listing it because the hope that someday it will be updated gives me the will to live. But also because even as a WIP this fic has everything I love. The characters are multi-faceted, the sexual chemistry is off the charts, the background story is complex enough to give the story numerous possibilities for angst and everything else. WHY MUST IT REMAIN A WIP???
something so precious about this by champagneboyband (E, 4K) this is just endearing and awkward and so well written. I love how much you get a sense of their connection and their inexperience and how much they care for each other in just a few thousand words.
I have lots more that I haven’t read, but of the ones I have, these are my faves. You can also check my DELETED FICS tag for more or search my blog for an author’s name. If someone has asked for their fics, it will be tagged.

ill gladly help you procrastinate u know that
23 & 17 👀
Boli, you are simply magnificent. I've spent upwards of thirty minutes not working while I was writing this up. 17. there should be more of this type of fic/art This isn't a problem so much as a good sign of the thriving fandom economy where people are writing big, rich, interesting stories - AUs, fix-it, time travels, what ifs - and I read those fics avidly. But I've been really craving the old "slice of life" one shot recently. Let me hang out with your dudes (gn) just doing their thing for a couple thousand words. Small moments, ordinary daily things. I love it. Same for art. Little domestic snapshots just get me. This is also a chance to say something I like about your writing specifically, Boli, because you incorporate a lot of this kind of scene into Mud fic while balancing the bigger plot elements. Thinking of that great bar scene. <3 23. ship I've come around to Syku is probably the big obvious one here since I spent so long (decade) waffling on writing Dooku in any kind of romantic thing. Then, reason slipped from my nerveless fingers and shattered. I dissolved About Them. But you poor people watched that happen to me in real time so I won't go on and on about it. No description can match the experience of watching me daily embarrass myself on here over them.
You know what one I weirdly have come to love? Obimaul. At first I was like "oh sw fandom, you'll ship anything lolol" and then I watched the Maul Clone Wars episodes and I was like... okay... okay... yeah, so, I get you want to specifically murder him and everything, but the way you're keening "Kenobi" right now...
It's kind of really fucking sad? Like Maul is this person who had been literally broken in half, and that's before you get to the metaphorical damage of being essentially enslaved by Sidious his whole life. I mean Maul's origin story makes Dooku's kid trauma look like a trip to Disney World. This person who fundamentally does not know about love, having been fed a diet of pain and hate all his life, getting into the murderous jealous one-sided sexual obsession with Obi-Wan, which is part inability to distinguish hate from lust, and part a pure desire to be Obi-Wan because he's representative of everything that was taken from Maul. He embodies every chance Maul never got. The (loving) Master. The community of people like him. The family. It's so dark and doomed and fucked up, but also so sad.
But I realize I'm not here to talk about shipping normal things, since my problematic main ship somehow manages to be both a Fridging and a Kill Your Gays trope...

Hi hello how are u? I love your writing and still waiting for adopt a Wanderer scenario! Could i maybe request a flower arranger reader and wanderer works as doll maker both works together sometimes (looks like the one he made in the game) Hmm maybe worried wanderer since he hasn't seen the reader for long (miss them) or maybe they injure themselves and he take care of the reader (preferebaly fem reader but it's up to u ofc) have a nice day 🥰
Tysm for sending this in!! It was such a cute prompt to work with 💕 hope you liked the rest of the Wanderer series as well! 👉👈
Notes: In the end I didn't really use any referral to pronouns in the fic, so it can be read as gender neutral too!
Also mentions of blood (reader cut their finger by accident) but it's nothing serious.
Tumblr media
Of course, being a doll maker was only a civilian cover for Wanderer, who would often disappear during random periods to complete missions for the Dendro Archon. What he didn't appreciate however is how you're the one that's been occupied as of late - dragged into helping with some Amurta scholars' research project.
At least he's fairly quick with his work; what could possibly be so urgent that you'd have to be in the rainforest for two weeks?! And you had the nerve to ask him to help cover for you while you were gone… You're lucky he likes your company enough to go through with all this, and that he was competent enough to not mess up your business.
It's nothing much, just completing orders that you've designed beforehand to give to the clients that booked your arrangements. You'd even prepared the vase for each of them in advance to make things easier.
He can understand why you preferred this instead of scholarly work though (which you too had the potential for). Being able to interact with clients of different backgrounds and stories, then to translate their intentions into your craft; it's complicated at first glance, but simple in action because of the experience you have under your belt.
He still remembers the first time he entered your store, simply drawn in by the Inazuman specialities you imported recently, only to be met with the sight of you meticulously arranging them into a vase. Your actions were featherlight and evidently professional, but it's the soft smile you wore as you took delight in your work that gave him pause.
They looked like fireworks.
"Ah, sorry about that." You'd apologised, asking him if there's anything you could help with. Instead of faking an order, Wanderer instead asked if the arrangement on the table was for anything in particular.
"I'm… a traveler from Inazuma." He settled on explaining. "The sight of those flowers caught my attention, is all."
Your eyes immediately brightened then, glimmering with curiosity. "May I ask if this design is to your liking, then? I was told to base it off the fireworks from Naganohara… though I've only witnessed their work once before during Liyue's Lantern Rite."
From the bright focal blooms to the filler flowers that make a sea of darker hues, it was hard not to feel nostalgic when he looked at the arrangement. From then on the both of you hit it off pretty well, considering his track record - exchanging stories about travels (you went to Liyue every year or so to deliver large shipments) to questions about his hobbies, Wanderer always found it odd that he never found your inquiries too annoying. Maybe it's the way you hold yourself and your straightforward curiosities that charmed him.
Eventually you touched on the topic of new business opportunities now that regulations on the arts have lightened a little. "Perhaps you might even make a living out of your own craft, " You thought aloud to him one day.
"You mean sewing dolls?" Wanderer gave you an odd look. Sure, he's mentioned that he used to be a doll maker when you asked if he had any creative skills, but he hadn't expected you to actually remember that detail. Who would be interested in a toy as useless as that?
It seemed to be a spiteful twist of fate that decided who would enter your shop next; a toyseller you're acquainted with because he liked to keep his shop fresh with new blooms every week. From there, Wanderer was swept along in your rhythm as you managed to arrange a trial session for him to test out his product. Something about a wooden Aranara carving not being very play-friendly, and that cuter designs would probably be more favourable amongst children.
Fast forward to now, where you've been friends for a while and you've finally returned from that research trip - you'd apologised to Wanderer for the trouble before offering to make dinner to make up for it.
Your home doubles as a second office of sorts, less occupied with personal items and moreso with notes of larger projects that you'll have due next month.
Wanderer chooses to ignore the sewing thread that's sticking out from one of your drawers, definitely not related to the doll he once gifted you when you asked to make a trade of crafts - out of curiosity for what this sharp-tongued man could make with his hands, and you were not disappointed. His craftsmanship was delicate but precise, and if he was to be bold enough to make a guess… were you trying to make another doll to give back to him? He'll just leave you to it and pretend to be surprised later.
"Should I help?" He asks as he watches you fish out ingredients in the kitchen. Then a cutting board and knife, and the chopping begins. "I can do that while you worry about cooking over the stove."
"It's fine, I– Ow?!" You curse, dropping the knife as you turn to the sink and run your hand under the water. It takes a moment for him to realise you've cut yourself. "Ugh… I'll be fine, it's just a small cut."
Wanderer is already searching for your first aid kit though, recalling where you placed it the last time you found him with a bruise on his shoulder (it really didn't hurt, but he couldn't exactly explain his puppet background to you without scaring you away).
With a sigh, he tells you to face him and hold still while he applies an ointment to soothe the sting, and quickly wraps up your finger with the gauze. "You shouldn't use a blade if your mind is distracted with something else." He secures it, then starts putting everything away with an efficiency that has you dazed. "I mean, what would happen if you took your entire finger off?"
"I doubt I would manage to do that!" You exclaim, before letting a laugh escape your lips. "Thanks for worrying, though. It's kind of cute to see you fret, but of course I'll be more careful." You reach towards the knife again to pick it up and wash before resuming the dinner prep. "Now let me just–"
"Let's not." Wanderer smoothly steals the item from you, doing it in your stead. "I'd rather not taste blood in my meal, thanks."
In truth, he was just really against the idea of you cutting yourself again, but that doesn't matter when he's hiding this behind his usual quippiness. You make an offended noise, crossing your arms. "My hand slipped one time!"
You forget you're talking to someone who'd drag you to the hospital if you so much as got a cold. "I said I'll do it. Aren't you tired from running around the rainforest all week?"
Your eyes widen. You completely forgot that you wanted to tell him about the trip! Was that why he's been looking at you as if you've forgotten something? "Right, so last week when we first arrived, we…"
…By the time you're done talking, dinner is ready and waiting to be served. Maybe this is what they mean when they say to look out for pretty faces - sharp cunning and even sharper tongues. If Wanderer wasn't so subtly thoughtful at times like these, you might've thought that he hated your guts for real.

my (unsuccessful) experience of the dan howell belfast show
okay so as you may or my not be aware, i had a vip ticket for dans belfast show the final show and i was scammed. Short story me and another person attending was sold the same ticket with the exact same seats.
i purchased my ticket on stubhub which i see as my mistake as i knew the risks but i just wanted to hope that it would work and id get to see dan for his last show. the other girl who i am friends with purchased hers on twitter. we had both travelled a fair distance to attent the show, like many other fans who were there that night.
i travelled from to belfast with a group of people i met at the dublin show who heard my concerns about the ticket and after i emailed the venue they told me my ticket was invalid and that i did not have access to the show. by this point i was sat in a belfast cafe stressed tf out. this is when i put out a tweet explaining my situation to others to see if i could try and get into contact with dan or his team as i was aware it had happened on other dates of this tour and they got it sorted.
Tumblr media
posting this on twitter attracted a lot of attention and so many people on dnp twittwr was tagging him and sending me kind/encouraging words in hope that my night could be resolved and that i could attend this show.
unfortunately it just wasnt working and i was never contacted by anyone of significance to the show, but i was more than appreciative for the mass help in such a tough situation. one of the girls who i met in dublin was kind enough to offer me a GA ticket to the show so that i could at least not have a pointless trip and miss seeing the final tour date which was so so so kind of her and ill always be so thankful that she did this even when i offered her my soul for the ticket she didn't accept anything, i could've cried. (love u coby)
my group of friends who i had traveled with all had vip tickets to the show and had been to a lot of the previous shows so much so that some of the doomed crew members recongised them. so they had agreed that when it came to entering the venue they would try and speak to somebody. but before this even happened the other girl with the ticket was in the queue with her ticket and when it was scanned the staff members at the venue kicked her out and told her that the ticket had been resold on so she would not be allowed entry. I was in a groupchat with her as we knew each othwr from twitter so she came and found me told me she got kicked out and turning to her i asked what seat she was and we both pulled out the same seat numbers. this was obviously heartbreaking and embarassing for both of us as it is the last thing you want to happen especially after travelling from a whole other country and spending money to be there.
the vip queue had all been let inside the venue and we were both sat on the ground outside. the group of our friends with vip inside were talking to the crew members who told them they couldn't do anything so alas we were just sat abandoned outside. one of the security guards of the belfast waterfront hall came out to speak to us and i explained that we had both been sold the same ticket as he had overhead our realisation, praying that he would take pity on us. (especially when we were sat crying) but no i personally thought what he said and how he acted towards us was beyond rude and not very professional for a venue hosting an audience of what is mostly young girls and the main act being someone who encouraged the exact opposite of his behaviour. to sum up what he said after telling him how my friend travelled from belgium and i from scotland he pretty much scoffed at us and said if we wanted to enter we'd have to buy a whole other ticket and was not allowed to meet dan.
i thought this was very rude to say, in a situation like this when two young girls are sat in a whole other country who dont know the area or anything he basically said we were fucked yk and was left out on the ground very upset. (later on when we both got GA tickets he approached and double checked we had actually bought tickets even tho we got through the doors. i couldn't believe the audacity and cheek of this man)
but we did get something good from this experience. our friend coby who gave me her GA ticket met dan and told him what had happened and he recorded a video for us which was very sweet of him to do, it made us cry more ngl.
we both did thankfully manage to get into the show. molly having to spend £60 on a whole other ticket after we had both spent more than £100 already to get there, it was stressful but at least we were inside you know. the show was amazing and very special. we both cried so much at the end of the show both from being so overwhelmed from the days events but also because of getting so see that one final bow.
if you need a sign then this is your sign to never buy from stubhub and onlt buy a resale ticket if it is somebody that you know. (no randoms on twitter, reddit or insta) just take the experience we had as a warning and be glad it never happened to you.
if you read this all thanks for reading my stress type out of everything that happened because people wanted to know the full situation but we were so stressed with half alive phones to sit and explain it all until home.
@danielhowell if you're reading this i know that you became aware of this situation and i dont blame you for what went down as you likely had little control when it comes to matters like these for security reasons. but the show was amazing and im glad i got to see you in dublin and bring "your" clubcard it was a very fun experience and i cant wait to see what fun adventures you do next.
🖤🧡🖤

pookie how do u deal with being single I want love like in ur stories 😢 waaaa
I always have a really hard time explaining this, especially considering I write romantic fanfiction in my free time, but I digress! I’ll try to get through my thought process as best as I can here:
I used to be somebody who valued romantic relationships so deeply, and with age I think I’ve just grown indifferent toward romance. In finally realizing that romantic relationships just don’t fulfill me, I’ve grown to understand that there are far greater aspects in life that do fulfill me- my job, traveling, writing… even making money, as cringe as that may come off. You have to let your life be fulfilled in a multitude of ways- the rest will find you naturally. Don’t force anything if it’s not meant to be.
And that being said- one of my favorite lessons from a philosophy course I took in college and something I hold so close to me- you may never find a romantic partner to spend your life with. And that’s okay. Don’t let your tiny blip of a lifetime in this vast universe be defined by some situationship not liking you back. You’re better than that- and bigger than that. You have a lot more to offer and you will feel both lighter and happier when you stop defining your life through the lens of other people.
Perhaps it’s also a helpful fact that I have never in my life wanted children and I don’t believe in the traditional sense of marriage, so I don’t feel this impending doom of a “body clock” or whatever sexist term they’re calling it these days. I just… want to exist, and to age gracefully. (And maybe be the cool aunt who writes a lot and travels all over the world.)
TLDR: Embrace being single. This lifetime isn’t forever- why place all of its value in your romantic relationships? Go live your life!!! Go experience everything else that is in your control!!!!!
(Also TRUST you guys don’t want me to fall in love- I think I would stop writing altogether. As I stand, I can lock myself in a room and spew 30,000 words about my assumptions of Hyunjin as a lover. I could never speak of a real-life man the same way.)
ily pookie, don’t put pressure on yourself 🫶🩷

if u ever have the time I’d love to read some of your HCs about what spike would be like with his newborn kid/the mom since I was kind of obsessed with your pregnant reader hcs🥹 love your work!
YES OMG ANON YOURE SO SMART ILY MWAH
Read previous parts to this here or specifically this one!
well, you heard the man!
he wants to be there for his kid!
so bc he knows absolutely nothing about children other than they’re annoying, they cry for everything, and they’re a pain in the ass
he gets lots of baby and parenting books
after reading a few books, he learns something
he’s not going to be a good dad
he’s going to be the best dad, god dammit!
you’ve never seen him so fired up and focused before
this man is dedicated
definitely the type of s/o that is constantly worrying and fretting over you (he already lowkey did that before you were preggers, but now it’s like he’s on overdrive)
he legit thinks you’re made of glass, on god
he basically becomes super clingy and won’t leave you alone for two seconds 
sit him down and talk to him all you want about giving you personal space, it’ll just go in one ear and out the other 
“Okay, babe. I promise I’ll give you more space.” my ass
he goes on any and all missions with you, even if it’s just to get more food or to seal a deal with someone 
it doesn’t matter. He’s there, babyyyyy
okay but like he actually becomes like super sweet and it kinda scares you bc normally he’s...well, Spike
Mr. I-Don’t-Need-Anyone-Or-Anything is now Mr. BaBy-WhErE-ArE-yOu-GoInG-dO-YoU-NeEd-HeLp
okay but no fr he’s so sweet tho 
grabs anything and everything for you, rubs your feet, presses his ear to your belly, will literally travel across the universe for you if you told him there was smth there for your unborn child 
he’s really hoping for a boy 
don’t get it twisted though. In front of the others, he acts all aloof and as if he doesn’t care
they all know better though
they even pull pranks on him 
“Spike, (Y/n) needs you in th-”
he’s already gone
you always grow confused when he suddenly appears panting and looking frantic 
“What is it? What do you need? Are you okay? Is the baby coming?” 
ah, so it was Faye again 
“Babe...I’m not going into labor for another six weeks...”
just stops dead in his tracks and sighs, realizing he’s been bamboolozed once again
Faye - 7, Spike - 2
he takes you to all your appointments in the Swordfish
every. single. one. 
he never misses one 
he even goes so far to play music for your unborn baby and reads to you both 
stop im literally going to cry
yeah well, imagine his fear when you actually do go into labor 
it’s actually kinda a funny story (not to him tho)
he was out on a mission by himself (bc Jet promised to keep an eye on you) when it happens
when he gets a call and sees Faye, he instantly rolls his eyes
“What is it?” 
“(Y/n)’s going into labor!” she screeches
his heart rate instantly spikes (haha-) but he quickly calms down
“Haha, very funny, Faye. Now fuck of-”
“I’m not kidding!”
“Sure you aren-”
“Babe! Get your ass here or I’ll kill you myself!” 
his eyes go wide at the sound of your voice, his hands instantly jerking his controls to the right to turn himself around 
“I’ll be right there! Just hold on!” 
“Don’t tell me what to do!” He can’t help but smile at that. You’re always so feisty. He likes that in a woman. His woman
“There’s no time for you to meet us here. We’re taking her to the nearest hospital on the Hammer Head!” Jet calls somewhere off screen
“Yeah, right, okay! Uh, just send me your coordinates when you get there!” 
he makes it there practically as soon as you arrive
he definitely broke some laws just to get to you 
“I’m here, baby. I’m right here. Deep breaths,” he says softly to you, pushing your hair out of your sweaty face
he’s there for the entire thing, offering you whatever you need to make the experience easier for you 
imagine his surprise when you have a girl instead 
he cuts the umbilical cord and holds his baby girl in his arms 
he definitely doesn’t cry shut up Jet
“Uh, can I hold the child I just spent hours pushing out of me now?” 
“Yeah, yeah, in a sec...” he absent-mindedly replies, holding the baby to his chest and cooing at the sweet bundle in his arms
sigh, is definitely that parent that spoils his kid. You can’t tell me I’m wrong 
will buy any and everything for his baby girl don’t play 
he will let you pick the name for the baby (it only seems fair after what you had to go through to bring the little bundle of joy into the world) 
if you want his two cents though, he thinks the name Roxanne or Dani would be cool 
if you joke about naming her Faye, he will literally walk out on protest ✋
no matter what though, he’s going to be there for every step of the way with taking care of your baby <3

The holiday fling| Mason Mount Part 1/2
Tumblr media
Notes: To start this off THERE WILL BE A PART TWO!! lol it will be posted on Saturday, so only two days! This has been sat in the drafts for so long until I though it was good enough to post lmao. I hope you all enjoy the fic, I haven't written in literal months, but I'm really happy to be back on mason Tumblr again!!! Ive missed u all, thank you for all the kind messages I love every single one of you! And also I wanna say another thank you for 1k!!! When I saw it I was so shocked I honestly cried lol... but anyways enjoy the fic my lovelies🤍 gif credits too @goalkepa
Blurb: One where y/n meets a stranger outside of a bar and they both decide to be someone else for the night, until this backfires on them.
Warnings: Just mild swearing!
The request
Fancy holidays weren't your thing. You didn't really fit in with what people call the ‘riches’. The constant cameras, lack of privacy. It was honestly the last thing you ever wanted to experience. But with your brother in constant limelight, you almost were forced into that way of life.
You had just finished your degree in journalism in London, and right now was a better time than ever to have a well deserved break. 
Your brother had willingly been on the other end of all of the phone calls you had made. Crying in your university's toilets, telling him you were homesick and couldn't deal with the stress. 
You loved your brother, and you knew he only ever wanted the best for you. But what you needed was words of encouragement, not “drop out and come say with me.”
Now, to anyone, yes I get it. That does sound like the life, am I right?
Traveling around with your brother, he's a F1 racer, so the traveling would be set to a maximum, amazing views, beautiful cities, everything paid for. Yeah it was very appealing, but you weren't going to settle for that. You wanted to do it on your own.
So let's say hypothetically you did go travel the world with your brother, you wouldn't have anything for yourself other than following his career and you don't think you could deal with another phone call from your parents asking you what you were going to do with your life.
But now that you have finished university, you have some jobs on hold. But for the time being you decided to join your brother on his lads holiday to mykonos, fun. 
That's also how you ended up in the situation you were currently enduring. You and Lando had left the villa a while ago to go have some well needed drinks, and to celebrate the fact you actually managed to graduate.
But long story short, like everyone else in your life, Lando had brought up the dreaded question, “what are you doing with your life now you have finished uni?”
A question you couldn't exactly answer...yet.
“All i'm saying is-” 
“I get what you're saying, lando, but I want to do something for myself.” You couldn't help but let out a sigh of desperation, fiddling with the black straw in your drink.
“I could get you a job with mclaren? You could be an interviewer or something, and on the plus side you'll be with me for a year, traveling the world.” He smirks at you, bumping your shoulder.
He would love that, for him to be the hero. He's had everything handed to him on a silver plate, and you hated that. For once in your life you just wanted to be your own person.
“Oh because mum and dad would love that.” You mumble rolling your eyes.
“I'm sure they would, finally being able to see their child with a stable job, and maybe a stable life.” He snaps back at you.
You let out a breathy laugh. You might not be stable, but who is after they've just finished uni?
“You're being unreasonable? I don't want to live in your shadow, lando.”
“And you're being ungrateful.”
His words hit hard. You hated passing up his incredible opportunity, but you just wished he understood why you were doing it.
“I'm not being ungrateful, but you making one or two phone calls to get me this job defeats the point of what I'm trying to tell you. I want to get a good job because I'm talented and smart, not because Lando Norris is my brother.”
You watch as Lando rolls his eyes at you before he waved over the bartender to probably order another drink in hopes it kills the tension.
A silence loomed as you sat back in your chair, playing with the rings on your fingers.
The thing is, he doesn't get it. You love that he wants to help, but he needs to let you figure things out on your own.
You watch as some of landos friends start to approach him from the entrance,all dressed in fancy over-priced shirts, crisp white shoes and embarrassingly sunglasses on in the club. 
You eye up the men that only acknowledge your brother, ignoring your presence completely, and you suddenly think that going for a walk and getting drunk by the beach sounds like a good idea.
Lando wasn't paying any attention to you as his back was now turned, greeting the young boys that had just walked over.
You grab your drink, smiling at the bartender before swiftly getting out your chair and walking out of the bar, leaving Lando with his friends. He was too distracted to notice you had gone anyway.
You really should keep your head up when you're walking, fiddling with the black straw in your drink, it becomes a slight distraction as you go to make it to the exit door. Although, for you it wasn't only the cold mykonos air that hit your body.
Your body collided with another that was also trying to make it out of the door, you smiled up at the young boy, he looked about in his twenties, gorgeous brown eyes, eyes that complemented his dark brown hair and his short, stubbley, beard.
“Sorry, you go.” he said. 
“No, it's fine you go.” You ushered him with a quick smile.
“No honestly, you can go first.”
Your eyes narrow at the man, he swiftly smirks, scratching the back of his neck as you take up his offer and walk through the door first, smiling as you soak up the warm fresh air from outside.
“Sorry, about that.” he catches up to you, deciding to stand next to you. 
It took you a moment to catch what he was on about but then you realized that your drink had split when he bumped into you, luckily missing your outfit, but your toes looked kinda sticky.
“Wait here?”
“What?” You look up at the odd stranger in disbelief, before he takes the now empty drink from your hand, pointing to the concrete slab that was made to look like a bench by the door.
“Just sit and wait, please.” Honestly, your day had been awful, and I don't think Satan could say no to his eyes.
He goes to push the door to the club before he turns around again, “Vodka lemonade?” You silently nodded before he wisped around the door.
You stood for a second before deciding to actually sit and wait.
The back of your legs hit the cold concrete slab as you sat, crossing your legs staring at the palm tree that calmly swayed above you.
You didn't have a moment to contemplate what the hell just happened with the stranger when your phone dings in your pocket.
Lando
Where did you go? Sent 22:15
Y/n???????? Sent 22:16
Did you go back to the villa? Sent 22:17
I'm sorry if i've upset you i was just trying to help Sent 22:17
Y/n
I'm fine, don't worry. Gone back to the villa i wasn't feeling too good talk 2 u tomo. Sent 22:20
Lando 
Get back safe x sent 22:20
You couldn't help but roll your eyes, but you knew you needed to get out of here in case Lando notices you haven't actually gone back to the villa, but your trail of thought crashed when an almost familiar body was lingering over you.
It was the guy from earlier.
But this time he was holding a black round tray with a set of drinks on it, a wide grin plastered on his face as he placed the tray down next to you with what looked like two vodka lemonades, and two shots of tequila.
“Drink?” He asks you with a smile. “The least I can do after I practically spilled yours.”
“How do I know you won't spike me?” You squint at him, he didn't seem like the type to be honest, but what do you know, he's a stranger.
He furrows his brows before placing a hand on his heart, before smirking and picking up one of the drinks, he sips from the straw, before taking a dramatic gulp. He lets out a breathy laugh before passing the glass to you.
You tried not to giggle at the stranger's antics, but the couple drinks you had with Lando earlier were already doing you dirty as you quietly slipped the drink the stranger had bought you.
“Also the ice is floating.” He added, taking a sip of his own vodka lemonade.
“What?” 
You turned to face him, his cheeks tint a pink shade before he pointed to your glass, “When a drinks been spiked the ice usually sinks.”
You stare at your floating ice for a moment, if he is a serial killer he's pretty damn good at luring in his victims, because it's been roughly six minutes and this boy has you captivated.
“So what's your name?” he smiles, passing you a shot.
The smell of strong tequila invades your nose as you watch him lift up his shot to cling it with yours.
He can sense your closed off demeanor as he sighs, but his smile never fades, “Fine, okay then, maya.” He winks at you with his shot in the air as you copy his actions in swallowing the tequila, the sensation burning your throat.
You winced slightly at the taste, before slamming the shot back down on the tray.
“Maya?” You question him, wiping the dribble from your bottom lip.
“Maya… Everdeen? Yep, you definitely look like Maya Everdeen.” He nodded to himself as he placed his shot glass back on the tray.
“Been watching the hunger games have you?” You smirked at him, picking your drink back up to fiddle with the straw.
He smiled before his cheeks turned pink again, he was kinda cute when he blushed.
“Hmh, if we're being serious, you definitely look like a charles.” You added, gazing over his long brown hair and his gorgeously glossy brown eyes. Your gaze linkers around his neck for a little while, noticing the small chain loosely hanging down the tip of his chest.
“I don't think I grew up posh enough for my mum to call me charles.” He smiled down at you.
“Where did you grow up?” Your eyes were watching your floating ice, as he giggled at your question.
“Trying to get to know your victims?” 
“Simply making conversation.” The corners of your mouth slightly moved upwards.
“Portsmouth.” He replied, he did have a south east england kinda accent. “You?”
“Bristol.”
“You don't have a bristolian accent though?” He questioned.
“I did a lot of traveling growing up, I live in London now so it's not like I'm around the accent a lot, it really pops out when i'm with my parents though.” You smile up at him, but when your eyes meet he was already looking at you, the silent moment of eye contact was cut off when your phone screen lit up.
Lando
Did you get back to the villa alright? Sent 22:41
Shit.
“Hey Charles, fancy getting out of here?” You quickly stand up, brushing off the dirt from the back of your thighs.
“Go where? Somewhere quiet so you can murder me, i dont think so.” He smiles, you roll your eyes at his attitude before looking at the glistening reflection from the moon on the sea.
“Exactly that, the beach will do perfectly.” You smile already making way to cross the road.
This was very out of character for you. You don't do one night stands, not that this was a one night stand, or even anything close, but you knew it wasn't the safest of situations to have put yourself in. And the fact your brother would be pissed if he could see what you were doing right now. 
You pulled your heels off on the side of the road, watching ‘charles’ pull off his socks and shoes as you both took a stroll along the beach.
You spent the long walk talking about everything and nothing, it was nice, talking to a stranger. You and the boy never once spoke about your own life or its problems. You just spoke about the world and had an odd conversation about planes. He told you about his fear of heights while you compared it to your fear of spiders. You spoke about the future and how one day he hopes to have a family, you couldn't say the same, sure you would love to have a family, but you wouldn't do that with just anyone. After the conversations died down, ‘charles’ had suggested a game he liked to call ‘rapid questions’.
“Summer or winter?” he asked you.
“Autumn.” You quickly say.
“Good answer.” He smirked as he looked down at you.
“Okay I have one, are you a cat or dog person?” You asked him.
“What do you think?”
“You look like a dog person.” You bump his shoulder, smiling up at him, watching how his eyes lightley shone from the reflection of the sea..
“Correct. One place in the world you would love to visit?” He asks you.
“New york. You?”
“Vegas.” He sheepishly smiles.
“Best present you've ever received?” You asked him, he smiled as he thought about his answer.
“Hmh, my great nan she knits jumpers for all the grandkids every year at christmas.”
“That's your best gift you've ever gotten?” You question him, trying to suppress your smile from his answer.
“It's the same routine every year, but the best part is the smile on her face when she sees you wear it on christmas day.”
“That's cute.” You bump his shoulder as you continue to walk along the sandy beach.
“What about you?”
“The best gift I've ever received… probably flowers.”
“Flowers?” 
“Yeah, I love getting fresh flowers.” You shrug.
There was something about you that the boy couldn't help but be captivated by, he wanted to walk along this beach all night and ask you questions.
“Something you hate?” You said, interrupting his thoughts.
“Losing.”
“Competitive are we?” You smirked at him, your eyebrow furred as you watched him scoff slightly.
“Very.” He winked.
“Not a sore loser are you?”
He laughs, “I try not to be.”
“What about you? what's something you hate.”
“Expectations.” You shrugged, facing forward as you threw your head back slightly, feeling the sea breeze on your neck.
He looked at you confused, you took note of the expression so you decided to elaborate on your answer.
“There's nothing worse when you try your hardest and someone still expects more of you.”
“Yeah, that sucks.” he smiled down at you, but his smile widened as he thought of another question.
“Favorite swear word?”
“Bolacks.” You said with a confidant smile.
“Really?” He laughs,
“It can mean so many different things, good food, it was the bollocks, just kicked you in the nuts, sorry about your bollocks?” The stranger couldn't help but laugh at your answer.
“Mines definitely bastard.” He said.
“Bastard?” You repeated back to him.
“No, you've got to say it with sass, like bastard.” 
You both walked along the sand for a while longer, giggling as you both kept repeating the word bastard.
Your empty glass was still clutched in your hand as you both continued to slowly walk, you had no idea how far you had both walked, but judging by the complaining from Charles it was probably quite far. 
You turned around at the noise of Charles groaning, he fumbled down on one of the sunbeds laying across it as he looked up at you.
“I don't really drink a lot, so I'm basically a light weight. I just need to sit down for a moment.” 
You can't help but giggle at him as he sprawls out along the sandy sunbed.
You situate yourself at the bottom of the sun bed, your eyes focused on the view of the sea and moon rather than the clearly drunk man whose head was now placed on your leg.
“Maya?”
“Yes charlie.”
“I thought my name was charles?” He smirked, his eyes never leaving yours.
“It is, but charlies a cute nickname.” You had to take a second to look away, even with the alcohol his stare was intense to you.
He turned his head so he could look into your eyes better. But you broke eye contact again by pulling out your phone, you checked the time and it was currently one am. You knew you should probably get back to the villa soon, really risking it with Lando going home and not finding you all tucked up in your room.
“Tell me about maya.”
You smiled down at the boy, fiddling with your fingers for a moment, as you leant forward, gently leaning on his thigh.
“Well for starters, she loves books. Oh, she's a dog person. Her favorite color changes every week.” You pause for a second to think about what else you could say, but your mystery man was just soaking it all up.
“And she can't tell you what her job is or she will get assassinated, and so will you.”
The stranger fake gasps at your words.
“Tell me more.” He sits up, cross legged as he faces you.
“Hmh, she works for the FBI.” Your heart melted at the boyish smile plastered on ‘Charles' face.
“I've already said too much.” You say dramatically, hiding your face on his leg before you look up again.
“What about you, what does Charlie do?”
“Okay, but you've got to promise not to tell.” You silently nodded before taking his pinky finger in yours, he leans forward to whisper in your ear.
“I'm spiderman.” He smirks.
You pull away and gasp slightly, trying to keep it serious before you burst out in giggles. 
“Why are you laughing?” He frowns at you, but you can see the smile behind his eyes.
“Shoot a web.” You demande though your laughs.
“I cant.”
“But your spiderman?” You whine at him.
Charles huffs as he sits up more, “It's the suit, it doesn't come out of me, duh.” 
Your initial thoughts to this man was that he looked kinda sporty, like an athlete, a little bit cocky too, but the more time you spend with him the more you realize he's a literal nerd.
Your heart swelled as you wanted to spend more time with him, but you knew you had to get back to the villa soon.
“Thank you for trusting me with your secret Charles, but duty calls, i've just been made aware of a threat against the queen, i have to leave mykonos as soon as i can.”
You sit up but the boy gently grazes your legs.
“Wait, Maya.”
You stand up in the sand, looking down at the boy, especially his hand that was clutched around your knee.
“Meet me again tomorrow, please.” You thought about it for a moment, you leave in two days, and his company had made you smile more in the last few hours than you have in months.
“I can't make any promises, the jet leaves in an hour.”
“Well, the queen can wait, she's about to kick the bucket anyway. Tomorrow, should we say six?” You can't help but laugh at his comment.
“Where?” You ask him, watching how he lets out a sigh of relief at your answer.
“The caster hotel.”
“I'll see what i can do, spiderman.”
“But you were fine this morning?” Lando questions as he follows you through the hallway.
“That's because I didn't feel sick this morning, and now I do.” You huff.
“Why don't you want to come?” He leans in the doorway to the room you were staying at, he knew you weren't ill, but he would never suspect you sneaking out to meet a man whose name you still don't know.
“I just don't.” You sat on the bed, your arms folded as your dressing gown was tightly wrapped around you, hiding the dress you had on underneath.
“Are you depressed?” He cocked his head to the side, a questionable look on his face.
“Lando, for fuck sake, i have a headach, and your making it worse!”
“You left the bar early yesterday y/n, and you don't want to come again today? After everything you've put me through, sorry that I'm worried about you.” His words hurt, but not as much as the time on your phone that read 5:46.
“You don't need to worry about me.” You mumbled.
“But I do, I'm your older brother?”
You sigh before raising your head to look at your brother. 
“I'm fine, just please let me have the night to myself.”
“No.”
It was times like this where you felt like just crying, crying until the floor swallowed you up. It was currently 6:22, you were sitting in bed with lando. You were both watching old love island episodes with some snacks that were left in the fridge. Lando canceled on his mates for dinner, meaning you couldn't sneak out and see charles. You were going home tomorrow, and the chances of bumping into your mystery man were slim, but you let it go. Guess it wasn't meant to be.
Part two will be posted on 16/7/22

Tumblr media
Avenged Sevenfold members were interviewed to end-of-year issue of Rock Classic Magazine. Check out the full interview below:
Stranger things: Avenged take metal on a trip. Earlier this year, powered by existentialism and hallucinogens, Avenged Sevenfold crafted the weirdest album by a major heavy metal band in decades. Frontman M Shadows and his wife, Valary, were having a night out at a local bar when the psychedelic mushrooms began to take hold. A new Avenged Sevenfold album was already in the works, but the singer wasn’t seeking chemically enhanced inspiration at that moment – until the feelings of love and happiness got intense.
“Then we got home,” Shadows recalls, “and we just had this connection, being so sure that we had travelled through space and time to be together in every life that we meet up in – the ultimate love story.”
From that experience, Shadows wrote the lyrics to Cosmic, a sweeping ballad with influences ranging from Elton John to Daft Punk and 808s-era Kanye West, and nothing to remind you of metal. It’s also the longest track on 2023’s mind-expanding Avenged Sevenfold album Life Is But A Dream…, with a romantic vocal that promises: ‘As we chase through the stars beyond forever, I’ll follow you.’
The music is fuelled by wild experimentation, balancing heavy riffs with textures and ideas taken from other genres and dimensions. It is the band’s magnum opus, an album of miniepics and pocket symphonies, absorbing sweeping moments of pop, prog, jazz, gypsy folk, hip-hop, Daft Punk-style robotics, classical melody, the Phil Spector ‘Wall Of Sound’, and even some crooning from the Frank Sinatra school. Shadows is excited to watch the fallout.
“I want to make an impact. I want to make bold art,” he says of the album. “I think after people get used to it, it won’t be so crazy. And then it’ll be like: ‘Well, what’s next?’ That’s the journey we’re all on.”
That makes Life Is But A Dream… both a confrontation and an invitation, as the band seek to change the definition of what an Avenged Sevenfold track is supposed to sound like. This time last year, Shadows posted his top five most-played artists on Apple Music, which might have been a clue to his state of mind: The Commodores, Weezer, Kanye West, Queens Of The Stone Age and Billy Joel. And yet just the other day he had Slayer’s Divine Intervention on repeat in the car, happily feeding off its raw power.
“I consider us a metal band,” he says. “We’re definitely influenced by Slayer and Pantera and Metallica and some quirkier things. We’re just trying to put our own twist on it.”
The first public glimpse of the new album was its debut single, the nearly-six-minute Nobody, which mixes ominous guitars with a trap beat and a full orchestra, male harmonies more R&B than metal, and, shortly before an epic guitar solo, a mysterious declaration from Shadows: ‘I’m a god, I’m awake, I’m the one in everything/I’m alive, I’m the dead. I’m a man without a head.’ Initial reactions were mixed – surprised, angry, confused, ecstatic. Some Avenged fans embraced the sound immediately; others didn’t get it at all.
“They’re like: ‘That is fucking shit! These guys forgot how to write a song! Why would you put a solo at the end?’” says Shadows. “We were just laughing. That was more fun to us than someone saying: ‘This is great.’ We always gear towards a little bit of ruffling feathers.”
That song only hints at what the rest of Life Is But A Dream… offers. Working with Joe Barresi, who also produced Avenged’s previous album The Stage, guitarist Synyster Gates calls it “a full U-turn. It’s just like a blast off into outer space”.
Work on Life Is But A Dream… began after Avenged Sevenfold cancelled the final leg of their 2018 tour, due to a viral infection that affected Shadows’s vocal cords. The band returned home to Huntington Beach and started writing new songs. Shadows and Synyster would sit together for hours, hashing out their ideas, usually at the latter’s house. The album took nearly five years to complete.
“It feels like an entire lifetime,” says Gates, whose daughter Monroe was born in the interim. “We needed a break after two decades of doing stuff, but we needed to go to work because there was a creative itch.”
On the new tracks there are riffs as tough and heavy as anything from the band’s past, but the context is completely different. A frantic beat kicks off the crazed We Love You, shifting into the grinding guitar that accompanies Shadows as he chants a wish list of society’s insatiable appetites: ‘More power! More pace! More money! More taste! More sex! More pills! More skin!’ There are moments of stuttering electronics and Beatles melody, closing with guitarist Zacky Vengeance sounding like George Harrison on a 1920s acoustic and a bit of bottleneck to create a warm sound of gypsy jazz, as the band’s chorus of tattooed dudes hums along.
“Me and Gates get [a lot of] joy out of playing crazy jazz chords that we’ve never, ever incorporated in Avenged Sevenfold,” says Vengeance.
Getting the band there was a long, strange trip that included psychedelic experiences for two of them in the form of mindaltering venom – aka 5-MeO-DMT – from the rare Sonoran Desert toad.
“When we went deep into the 5-MeO-DMT stuff, it was before covid,” Shadows explains. “But you don’t just go into that, right?"
The Stage was already starting to deal with these existential things – like: ‘Gimme all the information of what we know about why we’re here.’”
The Stage, released in 2016, was a concept album about artificial intelligence that closed with a 15-minute meditation on the Big Bang, narrated by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
“I want to form my world view based on facts and science, which a lot of times is very nihilistic, then reading philosophy or really great novels about this sort of thing,” says Shadows.
“And then that record dove into the sort of AI element, which we’re dealing with now. And it dove into the Big Bang. This record [Life Is But A Dream…] dove into: ‘Now what do we do with all that information as a human that has emotions, that evolved to this spot where we have our upper brain [wired for reasoning] and lower brain [wired for primitive responses] and they’re battling each other?’”
For the 5-MeO-DMT experimentation, which he hoped would pause that battle, Shadows flew in a shaman, whose skills had previously been employed by engineers at SpaceX and Google. He went through three days of sessions, including one with Gates and another with Valary.
“I don’t promote this,” he’s careful to say. “I don’t want to say that everyone needs that.”
For Shadows, the trips were eye-opening and difficult, resulting in a “pure existential crisis for a year” and loss of ego at one point, but eventually also a feeling of deep connection to the world.
“You come to terms with how important everyone thinks everything is, and how they work themselves up,” he says. “And none of it means anything. You work your fingers to the bones and everyone tells you you’re great your whole life. Then all of a sudden you look back on your life and you go: ‘What the fuck was that?’ Ha ha ha!”

I need more next gen. I am starving. Pls. What are UD/varigo like with their niblings. Is Eugene the fun uncle. Who had a hero crush on Hugo. Stuff like that.
IVE BEEN MEANING TO DO SOME CONTENT OF THIS FOR A WHILE HEHEHE THANK U….. i’ve been collecting sketches for this for a while so it’s gonna be a long one
emery loves their aunties and uncle and rapunzel and her partners all spoil them to DEATH its so fucking cute
they’re very into botanical and herbal sciences, so she does a lot more hands-on and in the moment studies than varian and hugo, who usually stay cooped up in their lab most of the day. rapunzel especially loves going out with her on hikes or nature walks whenever her dads are busy, and they do field journals and stuff…. sometimes others will join them on their little trips but for the most part it’s just something the two of them do together. they garden a lot too, obviously, and raps listens to her infodump for hours on end
Tumblr media
em also absolutely ADORES her aunt cassie, as she has dubbed her (it definitely got varian a few death glares at first, but he swears up and down he didn’t teach her anything). she loves hearing all the stories about her adventures and is especially fascinated by her cartography. cass also loves to collect weird things, like feathers, funny looking rocks or crystals, animal/fish bones, reptile skins or wings of insects, various things from deceased creatures she’s come across on her travels. emery finds this stuff incredibly cool, since they love animals
whenever cassandra travels out of corona for a bit she brings home lots of flowers and herbs and things for them to study, along with plenty of pretty trinkets and baubles for both them and the twins <3
that’s jusr like one of her love languages she’s like a crow. just gives people shiny rocks and sticks she found, and sometimes jewels/little hairclips/rings/generally very fancy things she definitely stole. sometimes nobody knows what to do with them but they keep them because they love her
eugene is absolutely the fun uncle but like, only when yong’s not around bc he easily solos eugene any day. no hard feelings it just is what it is
but yeah eugene always does the best storytime voices, especially with the flynn rider books bc hes been doin this for YEARS hes got DECADES of experience bro. sometimes the kids encourage him to act out the scenes in which he tries his best but fails miserably while lamenting about his old man bones
rapunzel and cassandra both laugh at him and sometimes will try to pick up where he left off
and, speaking of flynn, with another kid in the castle eugene finally gets another chance to play his favorite game: how long can i have this child convinced that i am the REAL flynn rider in the flesh
Tumblr media
the answer is quite a while and it will eventually lead a very pissed off alchemist to storm into your room ready to beat the shit out of you
eugene definitely helps them get away with shit especially considering he’s trying to get revenge on the years varian and hugo spent being menaces to the twins. it is actually CRUCIAL that hugo and varian stay childless for a good 5-7 years after the twins are born because they get that long to be Goofy Ass Uncles and nothing more
Tumblr media
no bc theyd literally be the worst most irresponsible mfs imaginable bc they’re both fucking around the whole time trying to impress the kids but they start getting rlly overly competitive about who they like more and fighting about it while the twins are just along for the ride
so. they DO still end up being the favorite uncles just. not for the reasons they think
they’d be like, showing the kids all sorts of projects they have around the lab but theyre just so much more hyperfocused on one upping each other- varian would do tons of interactive experiments so they can get involved and be hands on with everything. it’s just simple stuff obviously, baby science
but hugo on the other hand is more keen to giving them eye candy. fancy machines with cool lights and noises and the like. he does this with kids in town already, they always know him by name and like to play with olivia so he knows how to get the attention of children, but varian thinks it’s cheating so they get into a really stupid argument about it
varian: HAHAHA hugh you’re KIDDING right. that’s nothing they dont even know what’s going on its just a big machine that makes fancy lights and noises
hugo: ??? ok but that’s all you really need isn’t it?? it’s not like kids are all that hard to impress. plus you cant get on my case when yours is just some vial that changes color. you can at LEAST give them something cooler than that
varian: ??? HUGO I CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH THEYRE LIKE FOUR😭 at least MINE is educational. it teaches them about alchemy while helping them develop critical thinking and motor skills
hugo: oh my gods var it’s not that deep😑 like work smarter not harder you know what i mean?? it’s not like they’re our kids we don’t have to worry about that stuff
varian: IT’S NOT EVEN ABOUT THAT THOUGH it’s about captivation and keeping their attention. kids have really short attention spans, fancy gadgets may look cool but they’ll get boring in like five seconds. if you get them involved with the process and allow them to understand the craft they’ll be WAY more interested and-
varian goes into a rant before hugo cuts him off being all “ok fine well if you’re so confident lets ask what THEY think” and varians like “FINE” and so hugo turns around in a huff and realizes both the toddlers are Gone.
and he’s just “,,,,,hey um. hey var. love….where did the twins go” and varian whips his head around like “YOU FUCKING LOST THEM????”
so obviously they both freak the fuck out and are scouring the entire lab making sure they arent off drinking some dangerous chemicals or some shit but like, both of them are smart as fuck so it turns out they just walked off in the middle of their argument and went to go steal sweets from the kitchen. cass, raps, and eugene all chew them out for it later. they get more responsible when emery comes along but like….yk not that much AUDJSJDHDSNS
on the topic of stupid uncles, i should mention that though they love all of them dearly…lance is kind of the favorite like 90% of the time
cuz see eugene along with hugo still continue to be a bit overprotective and paranoid with the kids at times. varian is usually very laid back but when emery hits her teen years he starts to worry a lot more, while hugo mellows out considering that’s where vars own life went downhill LMAO. if there’s anyone who will indulge them and let them get away with ANYTHING it’s lance.
there’s such a blatant and vast difference between your first time parents who are always overthinking everything and worrying about whether they’re good parents or not and your cool, unmarried uncle who already adopted and raised two teenage kids in his 20s, is in the prime of his life and doesn’t technically have to take responsibility for you at all
Tumblr media
granted though, the twins have had everyone wrapped around their little fingers since their birth
Tumblr media
immediately after the twins were born, everyone in the castle (and even those who weren’t) all collectively pitched in to help as much as they possibly could. especially considering rapunzel struggled a lot mentally in the first few months of her kids’ life, the whole family was very determined to make the time as stress-free as their abilities would allow
one thing they found out quickly was that the twins absolutely adored varian. which obviously confused the alchemist and left him feeling quite helpless considering 1. kids hardly ever liked him (he usually got bullied by them) and 2. because of this he. didn’t really know what to do with kids. ryder once fell asleep in his arms and he lowkey panicked bc he had NO idea what he was supposed to do
when the anxious new parents were finally able to let people be alone with the babies, varian ended up being a pretty regular sitter. to the point where he would have little baby slings in case he needed to hold them while he was working on small projects or something. people would even frequently assume they were his and he eventually got tired of explaining they were actually his niblings so he just let people think whatever
before theyre born hugo jokes around like “lmaooo i dont even like kids” but he’s lying thru his fucking TEETH. hed die for them.
also alina thinks hugo is SO fucking cool (obviously considering he cut her hair based off of his) but also em admires hugo more than either of the twins could ever possibly comprehend. i havent drawn it enough since most of what i’ve drawn of them is them bullying each other but thats just their love language of course emery picked up on it. past the age of like 10 emery would rather die than admit how much she looks up to her father but hugo Knows <3
Tumblr media
its not to say em doesnt admire varian, because she loves both her dads equally!!! but because hugo also came from an orphaned past being with him made emery feel a lot more safe and understood during her first few years at the castle. hugo knew what it was like to suddenly go from having nothing to having Everything and he knew it could be really stressful, especially for a little kid….having someone who understood that was really comforting to emery.
because of this though hugo tended to be the paranoid mother hen type, especially compared to varian who was a LOT more laid back and wanted to give them the freedom to trust their own judgement and make mistakes. it was tough to balance these styles at first but emery genuinely loved them both, even if hugo’s fussiness was a bit annoying sometimes
in fact the reason emery dubbed hugo “mama” in the first few months was not because they could sense his massive amounts of Gender (well like, partially, but it was about a month or so after that before the ‘are you a boy or a girl?’ question finally came up), but instead because hugo’s constant doting on her reminded them of their birth mother
varian and hugo dont know much about emery’s birth family or what happened to them, considering she doesn’t say much in her younger years and eventually forgets most of what she didn’t; but she seems to have cared a lot about her birth mother, and frequently still misses her presence.
whenever those waves of emotion are too much for her to bear, hugo is there to comfort her- and he assures her that despite never even meeting them, he still misses his birth family, too, but that it will get easier, and no matter what, she’ll always have people who love and support her
anyways thats all i have rn *opens my head and puts my brain back in it like the little frankenstien dude from nightmare before christmas* idk when ill have more content of them but the next time i do it’ll probably be that drawing with rapunzel kissing both her partners on the lips and both of them being so romantically in love with her /hj

hello!!!! first time in your message box(is this what it called...if it ain't obvious I'm new to tumblr..dw let me cook I'll figure it out) saw how you want people to rant about their selfships and let me just place my one of my favorite self ships isatina (isagai x my lovely self insert Photina) and also sorry this is probably going to be long post since i tend to ramble A LOT
they're literally my cuties that I want to frame in my wall, and just squeeze them tightly. they're so friends to lovers coded and the boy next door coded as well
it's so bad to the point I have their whole love story and future plan but I'm going to start at their first meeting First Meeting:
At the time, Photina was still pretty new to the neighborhood as she was originally from America but her parents both loved to travel though they settled in Japan because of how much they enjoyed the people, food, culture, etc! She had just gotten out of her shopping spree and as she was walking her way home, she found herself making multiple wrong turns.
One thing to note, Photina is a bit of a drama queen(cause I am a bit of a drama queen) she was already thinking she'd never be able to make it home. Isagai riding his bike from school, notices her and his first thought is how this poor girl looks like a lost puppy with the kindness of his heart, he helps her look for her house, and as they walk they get to know each other (thanks to Photina social nature)
They realized that they were neighbors and yes Photina is very embarrassed by that...
god they're so dlskhglashgsihghlghlgaskhl okay i'm having a moment...now I gotta talk about how they got together
How They Got Together:
Ever since their first meeting, they started to hang out more often but they wouldn't grow romantic attraction until Photina attended school a week later. Photina was pretty social but not social enough that she was popular, but enough that she made some other friends and that's also including Isagai. Though she'd always prefer to hang out with him more than anyone she met at school.
Honestly, due to them getting close, I think its fair to say that Isagai lets Photina ride the bike with him home. The more they hung out, the more Photina started to grow a crush on him.
Photina realizes that she has a crush, please my girl literally just cursed herself(me too twin...me too) but now every time she's in her room her mind wanders to what he's doing, and loses to temptation and texts him. As soon she talks to him, they will not go to bed till midnight(it's her fault)
She even appears at every sports event and is his biggest supporter. She has no clue about soccer and she doesn't even like going to sports events but if its Isagai, she'll make an exception...kisses her she so me(no shit...)
When Isagai goes to Blue Lock, the poor girl is punching the wall(figuratively) she just missed her chance to confess
For Isagai, I think he won't even notice his own feelings till the U-20. He's a whole soccer nerd through and through, he'll notice that he feels weird when she hangs out with him but just thought that's how it was with her. Until he saw her at the stadium with his parents, cheering him on and it seemed he could only hear her. During the whole Blue Lock experience. I think he'll definitely start to miss her dearly and so seeing her, just makes him fall harder.
When Isagai goes on that break from Blue Lock, he's definitely going to her and confessing his feelings. Photina is crying but its happy tears and also she cries whenever her feelings are intense.
OKAY LAST POINT I SWEAR...i just got to bring in my fav hcs for them..
Headcanons:
Photina being African-American, she definitely had put Isagai into some. So every time Isagai visits her place, they're just relaxing with each other company while R&B and old hip-hop is playing
Photina doesn't know how to bike and opts to ride with Isagai, she's definitely clinging to his body while speaking about her day
Photina is a yapper like I am and I feel Isagai would most definitely be a listener
Photina enjoys having a deep conversation especially for the future, so they definitely have a whole note on things to do for the future
trust I'm so normal about them...yea i didn't think it was going to be this long but ykw i can't help myself when it comes to my bookie bears and ugh I need to make a mood board for them soon... tell me your thoughts and hope you're having the most glorious wonderful day !!!

HE’S KICKING A BALL AND PEOPLE R CHEERING SO HE’S DOING GOOD RIGHT?? (his team is losing but it’s the thought that counts)
BRO WHEN HE GOES TO BLUE LOCK ID FEEL SO BAD FOR PHOTINAAAAAA he probably feels so guilty for leaving but he’s also confused about his own feelings, because this has been his dream ever since he’s been little so then why does it feel so wrong to go?? but she’d probably convince him to go bc she knows how much of a big deal it is to him and push him to go even tho she wants him to stay 😭😭
he’d def feel homesick while he’s there bc he doesn’t have his person w him :cc she’s not there to laugh at their little inside jokes and she’d know all the right words to encourage him!! 
CAN U IMAGINE THE LITTLE SMILE HE’D HAVE ON HIS FACE ONFNFJDJSH LIKE AT FIRST HE HAS HIS GAME FACE ON BUT THEN HIS EYES FIND HERS IN THE CROWD AND HIS HEART THUMPS A LITTLE FASTER IN HIS CHEST AND A GOOFY GRIN IS PLASTERED ON HIS FACR AND NOW ALL HE CAN THINK ABOJT IS THAT HE HAS TO WIN FOR HER!! after all she showed up just for him 🥹

OMG ISAGI WOULD BE SO READY TO LEARN EVERY LITTLE DETAILLL automatically likes everything she likes bc she makes it cool 🔥 listening to music while cuddling and enjoying each others presence after a long dayyyyyy the way he’d look at photina like she hung all the stars in the sky and whispers adorations to her JEHSJHSJAN
I THINK HE’D DIE IF SHE LEARNED HOW TO RIDE A BIKE BC HE LOVED THE FEELING OF HER CLINGING ONTO HIM, HER BACK PRESSED AGAINST HIS AS PINK TINTS HIS CHEEKS JEHDJS probably looks back like five hundred times to make sure she’s ok but almost ends up crashing into a telephone pole bc he was too busy looking at her <3
PLEASE HE’S ONE OF THE GIRLIES HE’S INVESTED IN WHAT SHE’S YAPPING ABOUT LIKE… TOMATOES AREN’T REALLY VEGETABLES R U SERIOUS??? WHO SAID WHAT TO WHO? THE ENGLISH TEACHER CHEATED ON THE SCIENCE TEACHER WITH THE GYM TEACHER??? type to have really expressive facial expressions so it makes it x1000 times funnier :(
late night talks with each other where one sneaks to the others room and you guys just  talk and talk and talk about their future and they’re so in sync w plans :ccc THEY’RE DEAD SET ON GETTING MARRIED AND THEY SURE AS HELL ARENT BREAKING UP FOR SOME SHITTY EXCUSE LIKE ‘long distance is too hard’ OR SMTHHHXHEHD they have plans plans. and she yaps until suddenly he realizes she stopped and when he turns to look at her he realizes she’s asleep AND TUCKS HER INTO HIS BED, LETTING HER REST AGAINST HIS SIDE AS HE BRUSHES A STRAY STRAND OF HAIR AGAINST HER FACE WITH A SMILE AS HE KISSES HER NOSE GOODNIGJT SHHH

canon aaitl - zhongli
Tumblr media
summary; actual canon to "another adeptus in the line" series
genre; bullet fic??? not really though, literally just me rambling about my aaitl series while i write the next part, child! reader, father! zhongli
[platonic] [gender neutral]
a/n; im finally opening a taglist for my aaitl readers! you will be able to access it through my bio or the end of this post. when the taglist form says it is no longer accepting requests or responses, i will not be taking reponses during that time. but there will be more chances to join whenever i feel opening it up again.
anyways with that aside, please enjoy some crumbs of content
Tumblr media
okay proper canon things about aaitl!!!
zhongli lives in his teapot that madame ping gave him
i thought abt this bc of a tip thing i saw on the genshin loading 
bc like hey if “Adepti use Serenitea Pots as media through which they can channel their adeptal power and create realms and abodes.” then that means zhongli probably has one right????? RIGHT???????
anyone can visit it really he doesn’t care and loves having people over
he’s lowkey a hoarder tho but he really likes presents that he’s given :((
probably has a nice bouquet of qingxin, glaze lilies, and silk flowers
either that or he’s got a nice garden for all of the flowers and herbs or veggies :))) 
its so lovely and sweet and so homey for him and you
you like to chew on the sweet flowers when he lets you roam the garden
he doesn't stop you
back to the hoarding, bc he’s a dragon in his heart yk???
he like to grab and keep :] he has a lot of nice gifts from the past and from the present 
all organized nicely in his office that’s sort of merged with your room so he can watch over you at night :’)
the office/your room is pretty big in size, it’s like one big open room but it is split with like a half wall sort of? there’s like a curtain you can use when you need privacy but you’re still a baby
he does have a room plan for when you’re older 
anyways 
even if you don’t like childe, he does not give a damn and will smother you in his love and affection 
but also he is jealous everytime you take zhongli’s attention which is all the time really-
frienemies the both of you are
you hate him so much- KDHJSHSJDJS
when will the ginger abuse end 😔😔
you only know madame ping, traveler, hutao, and childe
ganyu and xiao will enter soon AND I MEAN REALLY SOON AS IN IT'S VERY NEAR FUTURE I HAVE PLANNED
but for now you only know stories abt them
you think they're really cool mostly ganyu bc of the horns zhongli told u about !!
you haven't gone through growing your horns quite yet, they exist as sort of small pointy guys on your head but they havent grown in yet
dont ask me how your tail developed before your horns, it makes sense to me 
your scales are orange amber colored at the ends and skin color closer to your skin ofc
hutao gave you some old baby clothes she had lying around from her childhood
if you ever babble or speak gibberish, you fucking BET that zhongli is the parent that listens and responds naturally, he’s just so sweet :(
you're a slow learner only bc you literally got reborn as a baby and not only that, you just have no prior experience to anything despite watching over the village you once protected and seeing all the families love and learn from each other
zhongli has yet to find the right person to tutor you since it's more of a high class thing in liyue to even hire a tutor
childe is probably gonna pay the funds for said tutor
zhongli is the kind of father to be like, "for you the entire world" and it would happen <333
