They pretend to be your boyfriend pt. 2 (ft kazuha, childe)
With surprise cameos ofc <3. Highly unedited. Not sure if it came out good tho :')
Tw- drinking, some creep in childe's part
Kazuha
- it came out as surprise that kazuha of all ppl was asking you to pretend to be his lover for one evening
- "It's to get my moms to stop setting me up with random people." He explained to you.
- you recalled the first time you met his mom, you were so nervous. But, beidou's easygoing personality and her infectious laugh made you feel at ease at once.
- kazuha was your dear friend. Despite having feelings for him, you never acted on them 'cause you cherished his friendship and was afraid of his rejection.
- looking at the way he seemed so troubled, you couldn't reject his request.
"This doesn't change anything right?" You tentatively asked. There was an odd look on his face, before it was gone. He nodded.
"Fine then. I will come by your house."
- you felt so loved. all your favourite food was on the dinning table.
"I had to ask kazuha what your favourite dishes were. I hope you enjoy my cooking." Ningguang smiled at you.
"I thought they were your friend. Why didn't you tell us before." Beidou laughed, nudging a blushing kazuha.
- soon the dining hall was filled with laughter, and you can't help but feel guilty for lying to the two amazing women.
- so when you and kazuha were finally left alone, you tell him that his family was amazing.
"Thank you for agreeing to this. My mothers were really happy you came." Kazuha said, truthfully.
- you nod and went back to eating the almond tofu on your plate.
"Your mom makes the best almond tofu, I swear."
- "Almond tofu is not the only good thing my mom has you know." Kazuha whispered in your ear with a smirk.
- your mind went blank with a *windows XP shutting down sound*
Childe
"You're blind date didn't go well huh? Hu Tao told me." Childe slurrs, drunkenly putting his arm around you as he laughs.
"I suggest you to shut your shitty mouth."
- currently you are out drinking with your friends after a long week and of course this bastard had to tag along.
"I think I know why you get dumped so easily." He side eyes you with a smug face.
"If you don't shut up, I'm gonna shove this glass of wine up your ass."
- zhongli watches the two of you fight in amusement as he sips his wine.
"Is this how they get every time they get drunk?" Hu Tao laughs.
"Indeed." He responds with a knowing smile.
- "I'm gonna take a piss. Be right back." You say, slipping away from childe's hold, before disappearing into the crowd.
"Oi.. don't go alone it's dangerous."
You ignore childe's worried calling as you navigate your way to the washroom. The club is too crowdy.
-Not too long after, you hear footsteps behind you and you sigh, knowing who it is.
- "I told you not to go alone." You feel his arm snaking around your waist as you walk.
"Fine." You sigh, leaning on his arm. "Wait outside the washroom, okay?"
- but when you come back, you find childe talking to someone on call. So, you keep your distance. It's probably teucer.
- you dont notice untill later someone approaching you.
"Are you alone, sweetie?" This dude asks, stepping too close to you with a disgusting grin on his face.
"I came with my friends. And, leave me alone, you creep." You snap at him.
"Now, now don't be like that." He says, grabbing your arm.
- at this point you were so pissed. Before you could land a proper punch on his face, you find yourself being pulled away from him and into a familiar set of arms.
- "Don't you know better than touching someone's lover." Childe speaks to him in a warning tone. "They got a boyfriend, you know?"
- "Boyfriend?" The creepy guy looks questioningly at you and then at childe.
- "Yeah, he is here you know." Childe whirls around looking through the crowd, making the other guy look around.
"Where would he be?" The other guy scoffs.
"Why, he's right in front of you." Childe chirps, turning back to him with a smile. You roll your eyes at that. What a dramatic ass.
- "I need to teach you a proper lesson for touching my things before you leave."

valentine's request: julien being your secret admirer 🤭🤭🤭
guys this is so cute :(
another blurb? all of y'all hop on my magic carpet let's take a ride
(i wanted to make a strap joke but the magic carpet is more appropriate)
no warnings except this is RPF, fluff ahead!
okay i would have to imagine a scenario where you are friends with the boys
like maybe you work at saddest factory with phoebe or you know them through muna or you're part of their crew
either way i imagine you'd have to be around the boys a lot for julien to do the cheesy secret admirer stuff
and i think julien probably doesn't even mean to be a secret admirer like it happens accidentally
okay picture this, you're part of the social team or operations or something that you're spending hella time with the boys so obviously you start to learn a lot about them
and i mean you probably learn way too much like there you are on a friday afternoon loosening the buttons on phoebes button up with a little sewing tool because she decided she wants to flash the crowd meanwhile the band and jb and lucy are talking your ear off about something to do with philosophical trends in modern media
and you're so grateful for the time you've spent on tour because who would've thought this amazing group of people would have convos about their favorite colors and the best way to cook tofu and why certain toothpaste is better for your teeth than others
and so while you're soaking up all this info, jb in particular really takes a fancying to you but there's something always holding her back
luce and pheebs swear that you're sweet on her but she says "losing their friendship is NOT worth me admitting i find them pretty," because jb would rather have you working the tour and be a lifelong friend than freak you out
but jb lit can't help it, she's always remembering the little details and keeping them locked away in her mind
and one morning one of the crew guys heads out early and brings back pastries
and youre running around like a headless chicken before the show so jb saves your favorite flavor of muffin aside for you
she writes your name in a very quick and hasty, and honestly descript scratch
and when you finally catch a break the boys are prepping for soundcheck and your eyes light up at this little muffin sitting on the table all wrapped nice and neat
"thank you! to whoever saved this for me!" you say with sweet eyes and a smile that literally makes jules feel like she's gonna ascend
and jb is about to take credit bc duh when maybe phoebe is like "look at you with a secret admirer," which causes you to blush and holy hell if it's not the cutest thing jb has ever seen
her voice literally gets stuck in her throat and she can't say a word
she decides then and there she's gonna be your secret admirer
and boy does she COMMIT
girlie is buying your favorite candy and ordering flowers from local flower shops, or the second new merch comes in she's snagging a crewneck, or she's looking at your goodreads and getting a book on your 'want to read' list and leaving it in your bunk
and this goes on for MONTHS
i mean a majority of the tour, you're being spoiled and you try to ask around but literally no one knows it's julien
and finally lucy and phoebe and julien are at a coffee shop in a random city later in the tour
luce and phoebe leave to go outside and julien "forgets her wallet" going back inside and grabbing you a chocolate croissant, shoving it in her backpack gently to hide it in the venue when they get back
and phoebe catches her when they are in the green room
and she's shocked honestly, julien's hand pressing to the blonde's mouth
"shut the fuck up" julien hisses, wide eyes staring into phoebes
"you little fucker! just tell them!"
and phoebe is like "whatever", rolling her eyes but for the next 2 weeks smirks everytime a little treat gets found by you
but it comes to a head one of the last shows before break
you're on your period maybe or just not feeling well, medicine and a new heating pad are waiting for you in your bunk
and the bus is quiet like everyone is chilling, not yet asleep, but it's quiet hours and you just start to sob
jb finds you and is like "woah woah woah!" rushing to you, one hand on your back the other wiping at your blotchy cheeks
"you okay?" she whispers, trying to calm you down
and you just point to the items and jb's blood runs ice cold, she starts to stammer like, "what- i don't understand," trying to play dumb
and you LOSE it like, "i don't know who keeps giving me presents but i feel so guilty because i don't deserve them and when i was complaining about my heating pad it didn't mean i needed a new one and the person is spending money and i'm so confused-" like fully having a meltdown
and julien is holding your face so gingerly being like "hey, hey it's... it's me, don't cry sweetheart, you have nothing to feel guilty about," and you're sooooo confused
julien sighs, adjusting her baseball cap, "i- i really like you and i saw how you acted when phoebe said you had a secret admirer and it was so cute so i just kept doing it but i didn't realize how you didn't really ask for any of it and i see now how it could be taken as super creepy and invasive? and i didn't mean to make you cry i-" before you cut her rambles off with a bone crushing hug
"i like you too jay."

random, stupid idea you can ignore, but what is the reader was like, a kitsune or something? like their world didn't have abilities, but they had yokai or something? you can ignore this if it's to complicated or you have to much work already!!
Kitsune! Reader
Self-Aware! BSD Character x GN! Kitsune! Reader
Tumblr media
Description: For some reason, you were always wearing a fox costume, while reading BSD. At least, BSD character were sure, that it's a costume.
Warning: OOC. Mentions of alcohol. I add eight links in the A/N, if you want to learn more about mentioned youkai or see, how BSD characters looked like in costumes. English is my second language.
You were having a time of your life. You had a plate of fried tofu, some good sake and new volume of BSD manga. You feet like a happy kitsune.
With your tails and ears visible, you were reading manga. Suddenly, you noticed, that your phone started to glow.
Two things happened.
First, a bunch of people appeared in your living room.
Second, you, for the first time in centuries, lost control and turned into a fox.
For one moment everything was fine. Then, you tried to set the intruders on fire. Perhaps, they were your fellow kitsunes, who decide to prank you.
Well, you didnt like it in one bit.
Time to teach them a lesson.
________
🐾 Okay, when they see you for the first time, they thought that you were wearing a costume. Like... You have fox ears and nine tails... You have to be wearing a costume.
🐾 But, when you transformed into a nine-tailed fox, because they startled you, when they appeared in your world, they realized, that you are, indeed, not a human. Especially, after you, an angry nine-tailed fox, tried to set them on fire.
🐾 After some explanations, fried tofu (thanks, Kyouka) and sake (thanks, Kaji) you calmed down and turned back into your half-fox half-human form.
🐾 And then, the time for an explanation from you arrived.
🐾 You told them, that your world has youkai, that were living near humans for thousands of years.
🐾 While youkai were hiding their existence from humans a secret, it doesn't mean, that youkais were hiding from humans.
🐾 With some cautious behaviour and with help from each other, youkais were secretly living among humans.
🐾 You quickly noticed, that BSD Cast looked guilty. They thought, that you will be uncomfortable with them knowing your secret. You assured them, that you are actually happy. You liked humans and were glad to have human friends who will accept you as a kitsune.
🐾 You bond with BSD Cast really quickly.
🐾 You, Dazai and Gogol formed a prankster group. You three became a worse nightmare for Kunikida, and, from time to time, for Dostoevsky.
🐾 You and Kyouka often eat tofu together.
🐾 You, Dazai, Fukuzawa, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Fukuchi, Kaji, Yosano, Oda, Ango and Taneda became drinking buddies.
🐾 Kenji want to meet other youkais. He talks with every animal he can find.
🐾 You nap on Kenji's lap in your fox form from time to time.
🐾 After characters get their costumes from the app (their costumes from their cards), you had a photoshoot.
🐾 Now, you have a photo with Yamawaro! Kenji, Diviners! Fukuzawa, Atsushi, Junchirou, Naomi, Kunikida, Mori, Elise and Higuchi, Tengu! Dazai, Kitsune! Kyouka, Chokeshin!Yosano, Jorogumo! Kouyou, Shutendoji! Chuuya and Inugami! Akutagawa.
🐾 You had a feeling, that this year Halloween will be awesome. The neighborhood will be 'terrorized' by a group of youkai.
🐾 You have a feeling, that your life will never be boring again.
🐾 All thanks to your human friends.
🐾 You were a one lucky fox. You were friends with so many humans. And BSD cast were so happy to be your friends.

Valentine Headcanons about (almost) every fictional character I love 💕 
happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! I hope you know you are appreciated and cared for! Here are some Headcanons on how my fictional crushes would spend Valentine’s Day 💓
featuring: Daiki aomine, Sasuke Uchiha, Takumi Fujiwara, Rindou Haitani, Jean Kirstein, Ryusui Nanami, Spike Spiegel, Hisashi Mistui, Matt Holt, Taehoon Seong, and Damian Wayne
Daiki Aomine:
He’s playing basketball 💀
You’re 100000% sure he forgot what today was because when you gave him a handmade lunch AND a net for catching bugs he just stares at it like “what is this for?”
So as you sadly sit on the bench watching him play
But then he falls idiot
You sigh and walk over to him. “You ok Daiki?”
He groans and kneels with a bracelet in his hand blushing
“H-happy Valentine’s Day…”
You’re speechless. Only for a short moment of course, you quickly begin laughing your ass off
“W-what’s so funny?! Damn Kise telling me to do dumb shit…”
“I love it Daiki! Where’d you get it?” 
“S-satski taught me…”
This man has the largest amount of pride but will always throw it aside for you!
Sasuke Uchiha:
You both would either stay home or be somewhere private 
You both have this secret spot in the woods that you guys have been going to ever since you were kids
So it’s no surprise on your 15th valentines together that’s where the two of you would be
With the little snacks and dinner entrees the both of you made to surprise each other and the nice lighting and river it was perfect
This is also the time he’s most vulnerable with you; kissing your hands, neck, cheek, arms, and of course your lips ;)
He whispers sweet things in your ear and tells you how he’s never loved like this and won’t with anyone else 
“You’re my everything (y/n). I look at you and see a future brighter than all the stars out tonight.”
It’s safe to say he only and will only ever love you
Takumi Fujiwara:
You’ve always went on Tofu runs when you could with Takumi, and it was no different for Valentine’s Day 
When he arrives at your house he’s standing there with a small bouquet 
“Is there anything you want to do today?” He asks you as he drives to the hotel
You shake your head. “It doesn’t really matter as long as I’m with you!”
He can’t help but smile
When he’s done with the deliveries he pulls into a parking lot in front of Lake Akina 
“Can w-we just sit here for a while then? I really just want to be with you.”
You smile at him and lean your head as close as you can to his shoulder. “I’d love that Takumi.”
Rindou Haitani:
Rindou takes you dancing
You both love to dance so it was a win
But of course after that he takes you home
You both cuddle on each other and watch random movies
Rindou has the finest liquor out and the sweetest chocolate and all your other favorite sweets 
He kisses up and down your shoulder as you sit in his lap holding one of his hands
“You’re mine (y/n). And you’re gonna be for my next valentine and the one after that…”
Jean Kirstein 
He cooks for you!
He makes you sit there patiently while he scrambles around creating the perfect meal
“Jean, i don’t mind helping you. I think it’ll be a lot easier if-“
“I got this (y/n)! Just sit there and look beautiful! Tell me about your day. You know I love to hear your voice.”
After he’s FINALLY done cooking, you dine together in the not so fancy living area, but the both of you don’t care
Jean did his best to clean up and set the sweet, loving tone and that’s all that matters to you.
“I love you (y/n). Thank you for making me so happy.”
Ryusui Nanami:
This man goes all out💀
As soon as you wake up it’s the most perfect breakfast in bed
He has to leave to work but literally leaves you his black card to treat yourself and constantly has people arriving with beautiful flowers every 5 minutes
He comes back for lunch and talks to you
“Has your valentines been well? I’ll make sure that you have the best day ev-“
“I really like all the things Ryusui really i do, but…I just really want to spend time with you…”
He pauses
Then calls in like it’s nothing!
The rest of the day is the two of  you lay in bed together and act all cutesy!
“I’m glad you’re my valentines dear. It’s been one amazing day.”
Spike Spiegel:
This broke man does his best I’ll give him that
He buys you flowers and takes you to a pretty nice restaurant. Nothing too fancy but it’s nicer than you normally go to
He lets you order first and gets him something small, which is weird for this man
You both talk for hours the waitstaff is so annoyed
After you two are FINALLY done you both walk back to the Bebop
“Why did you eat so little Spike? You’re normally chowing down!”
He chuckles and keeps walking, “wasn’t that hungry.”
“Come on spike, we’re practically married, I can tell when you’re lying!”
He sighs and mumbled something 
“What?”
“I wanted to make sure I had enough money for you to eat…”
You stop in your tracks
“Spike…”
You kiss him lovingly 
“Thank you Spike. I love you so much.”
He smiles, “ditto.”
Hisashi Mitsui
You’re probably his first valentines tbh
He waits at a cafe with flowers in his hand
When you show up he’s bright red. You’re not even wearing and saying anything spectacular he’s just so nervous lol
You sit next to each other and talk snack and laugh about everything and anything 
After the cafe you head to the park
And after that you go to little stores you see along the way
Mitsui buys you a stuffed animal you were looking at and you bought him a chain necklace he glanced at
It was a really great valentines, especially since it was first
“T-thanks for being my valentine (y/n). I’m glad i get to spend it with you.”
Matt Holt:
He makes this super cool heart shaped projector thing!
He hands you this heart 
It rises shifts into being a projector that displays all of your favorite memories together
It shows the new inductee dance and how the two of you jumping around without a care in the world
Then it shows a lazy night of the both of you “studying” for an exam as the camera zooms into Matt’s face and your giggles from behind the camera
And one of your favorite memories of all, your day at the beach together. Throwing water at each other, making sand castles, resting you head in his shoulder as the sun goes down 
“Matt…this is beautiful… I-I’m speechless…!”
“It’s alright.” He begins, “I know what you’re gonna say. I love you too.”
Taehoon Seong
Mans has no idea what to do
He acts like he doesn’t care as Hansu tries to give him ideas but really he’s terrified of messing something up
So when the day comes you hear a knock on the door you’re surprised to see a nicely dressed Taehoon with a rose in his hand
“Happy Valentine’s Day idiot.”
You smile and kiss his cheek. “Thank you Tae Tae!”
You Motion for him to come in
When he does there’s a nice breakfast for two in the dining room
“I know you don’t like to go out Tae, so I thought we could stay in for the day.”
Oh my gosh that sounds perfect
“Heh, I guess so. At least I’m with you.”
Damian Wayne:
Spoils you with acts of service 
As soon as you wake up you’re greeted with the smell of a nice breakfast in the dining room 
Then you sit in bed as he feeds you chocolate cover strawberries, watching silly movies and drawing pictures for each other 
At the end of the day he prepares a bath for the both of you
You wash each other not like that weirdos and you even blow some bubbles at him
When it’s finally time to sleep he massages your back and whispers about how much he loves you 
Then of course you fall asleep on his chest as he holds you
“Goodnight beloved. I hope you understand how much I love you.”

Genshin SAGAU x Reader. Part 2
You know, when people degrade themselves, saying horrible things about themselves.
So you made a rule that when you hear EVEN ONE thing that degrades themselves, they will be punished personally by you.
It involves lipstick💄 so if you don't like wearing lipstick and being a ✨️bAdDiE✨️ then this ain't for you.
Characters: Xiao, Scaramouche
Tumblr media
Xiao
Tumblr media
You were trying to find Xiao, you also made some tofu for him. You were about to call him until you heard him. You heard him saying not good things about himself and you publicly said about the rule so you sneaked up on him and hugged him. He was surprised, panicking that you saw him vulnerable, and weak. He tried to get away but your inhuman strength was no match.
"Xiao, remember the rule I made?"
"I'm sorry your grace, I didn't mean to! I'll gladly accept any punishment you give me."
He looked at you, wondering what you were getting out of your pocket. A lipstick? Why? (Oh, He was about to know.) You were putting on the lipstick, (idc if you are a dude, YOU WILL.) And looked at him smugly. You grabbed him and kissed him all over his face, he was a blushing mess! Poor xiao, he's still processing. If you kiss him anymore, he might just be redder than your lipstick and ascend to the celestials.
"Xiao, the lipstick is gonna be hard to get off. This is the punishment. Now everyone can see how much I love you! Also, here's some tofu for you."
He was covering his face with his mask and grabbed the tofu, disappearing into particles. He didn't want to admit he enjoyed it. But the only problem was that Ganyu or Zhongli was asking why was there a smudge of pink, reddish on his face. He was blushing and tried to change the topic.
*bonus*
If you tease him more about it, he will be a blushing mess but silently saying that he didn't mind it, he thought you didn't hear him but oh, you heard everything loud and clear. You will so gonna tease him about that later.
Tumblr media
Scaramouche
Tumblr media
You were in your bedroom, reading. You were halfway through finishing the book when you heard a crashing sound. You thought it was just one of the vases that fell off of the table, but you were too tired and just put down the book and went to sleep. You felt a presence next to you, you opened your eyes to see Scaramouche holding you tight, crying. He kept repeating the same words, 'Don't leave me, I'll be better, please! Don't abandon me again!' You woke him up and comforted him. He was saying shitty things about himself again. As much as you wanted to just stay silent and let him bathe in your warmth, you had to remind him.
"Must I remind you about the rule? I must punish you now."
He began to hold you tighter.
"Idc how bad is the punishment, so please don't leave me!" He cried harder. Silently begging you to not let go, when you got up and went to your closet.
You got your lipstick and quickly put it on, you grabbed both of his wrists and kissed all over his face.....as the same thing as Xiao, but worse. He is malfunctioning, saying random muffled words that you don't understand but didn't give a damn. If you tease him a bit more, he will scoot away and begin pointing fingers at you. His ego and pride won't let him admit, he wanted you to do more and maybe slyly scoot closer for you to kiss him even more. Well the next day, he didn't even try washing it off. No one would dare ask him about it unless they want to suffer the wrath.
*bonus*
If you were gonna tease him about it, he will just change the topic or say that you are shameless!
(Sir, you are the one who didn't even try to wash it off properly)
~
Part 1
Next part will be albedo, diluc. If you want, you can ask me to do other people.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
SYNOPSIS: Tattooing is a work of art. Though, he definitely saw that it can also be used as more than an art medium itself.
TW/s: yandere behavior, abstract/drabble writing, protective Xiao, he’s a dumbass but its okay, nsfw tws include targeted by the dark web, graphic depictions of violence, near abduction, stalking + sexual harassment. Please proceed with caution.
NOTE FROM HR: Happy Valentine’s Day! It would seem that today just isn't working out for you, is it, miss Ana? Well, never fear! I’m sure our lovely tattoo artist has something to help you with that… Right?
Tumblr media
“You’re back.”
That was the first thing that Ana heard from her tattoo artist, Xiao, speak at 1 in the afternoon— a weird time, considering he wasn’t aware she had an appointment booked with him.
“Are you here for a tattoo?” he asked her, making her shake her head. Carrying the food she bought for him, he placed it on the counter, noting the small shift of expression on his face as he caught a whiff of something faintly sweet in the packaging.
“No, but I’m sure you’ve been working for hours on end,” she said, tapping on top of the package. “Here, eat up. I made sure to buy almond tofu for you.”
Now, for those who may be wondering, just how can the reclusive tattoo artist be with a date that’s the clear opposite of his personality?
It was a long story, which started from the very beginning when they matched up in the app.
Xiao isn’t the type to choose anyone on a whim. He has standards, and for him, many others failed to fit those standards. It was also obvious when he saw Ana’s, but instead of scrolling past and ignoring her, he took his time to look into what she wrote. He didn’t want to write her off just yet.
The next thing he knew, he swiped right with her and began to talk to her in the app.
Their conversation topics were all random at first: general get to know questions, their experiences, and even bits of what the two like. The two clicked on what they both liked listening to, which artists they enjoy the most, and even a few preferences for both to tune into. He did suggest a few that lean into crime podcasts, since he tends to listen to them often while he worked on tattooing his clients. Perhaps it was a strange preference, but she didn’t see it that way.
It wasn’t even long until they began to discuss matters in seeing each other in person, and the first time was because of a tattoo appointment she wanted on her arm.
“So, you want this tattoo placed… Here. Am I right?” “Mhm. Do you think you can do it? My friends had said that you were a good tattoo artist, so I wanted to be sure that it’s something you can do.”
The two were sitting at his office as Xiao was looking at the image, examining the tattoo design she wanted him to put on her. The design wasn’t all that complicated, but he knew he could add something to make it pop out easily, and especially with the detailing of her tattoo choice.
“... I can,” he answered, closing the folder as he faced her again. “However, you must pay upfront. I need to get the materials and equipment needed in our next appointment for this type of tattoo on Friday.”
He watched her nod as she handed him the payment, his hand drifting over to grab it and check how much she paid. It was enough for what she wanted, with an additional $20. Raising an eyebrow, he looked over at her and grabbed it, handing it back to his client.
“No need to give me extra,” he told her, sighing. “It’ll be a waste.”
“Oh? Well…”
He could already hear what she planned on telling him. He should take it anyway as she felt bad, or that it’s not right to not tip someone for their services, or—
“... I’ll take it back, then. Thank you again, Xiao. it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
—!
Xiao seemed to be caught off-guard at the turn it took, his eyes widening for a fraction of a second, but it left as quickly as it did. Regaining his composure, he nodded and simply stood up to lead her out of the shop.
“If you need anything from me, you know my number,” he told her, his amber eyes shifting away for a moment. “... And if you want to go on a date, call me.”
It was strange. He’s not used to romance, and Zhongli had all but taught him how. He wanted to say that he had the confidence like that old man has, but he’s still learning. And Gods, he’s unable to even comprehend how social interaction and cues work.
Still, he did hear her laugh and feel a gentle warmth on his shoulder.
It felt nice.
“Of course! For now, I need to go and meet my friends this afternoon. Goodbye, Xiao.”
As the warmth left his shoulder, he finally raised his head to watch the lady exit, his eyes drifting to her while he recalled the expression she wore in front of him.
Such a gentle smile, unwavering and confident. He had always admired those who could do it without a single moment of hesitation, and sometimes, he found himself loathing that he couldn’t do the same. To be able to smile and look onwards, like nothing was bothering them in the first place.
He sighed and raised a hand to sift through his hair. The bitter feeling rising in him was something he disliked, but he couldn’t bring himself to blame it on her.
It was their first meeting, and it was one that Xiao remembered well.
How ironic, considering the next ones were as eventful as the first, if not even more than anything he’s endured.
The second time this happened was when he was on one of the first few dates with Ana. The two were surprisingly able to her friends commenting on how she found someone and kept it a secret from them.
He didn't like to make their relationship known, and there was a good reason why— he hated to have them find out he has someone he tolerated better than others.
Even if it was just a simple drunkard. Or two.
Point is, it happened. While Xiao was dealing with her friends asking him about his occupation, he caught wind of Ana getting involved and being harassed by one of the older men that are obviously wasted. She was trying to tell them to stop bothering her, but it seems they weren't paying much attention and even touched her in areas that can warrant sexual harassment.
“C'mon, pretty girl, why don't—”
“Move. She's my fiance.”
The drunkard looked over at Xiao, his eyes narrowed as he noticed that he was one of the clients he tattooed years ago. He scowled at the sorry state he was in— the man had a job as a republican, but one too many scandals led him jobless.
Hmph. I'm glad I managed to tattoo him with that before then.
“Yours? Pfft, do you have anything that makes her yours, little boy?”
Xiao scoffed.
“That ring she's wearing. I gave that to her.”
Complete and utter lie, he knows Ana had it since the day they met. Though, the ring was placed on her ring finger…
“You're harassing my girl. If you don't move, I'll get security,” he warned, walking closer to Ana to gently hold her hand. “And you wouldn't like getting kicked out again, would you?”
The ex-republican scoffed but he slunk away, and the two watched as the others jeered and called out to the republican figure for what he's done.
How annoying.
“I didn't know you'd say that out of all things.”
Xiao's head whipped towards Ana. It was clear from the way she said it that it was meant to be seen as light-hearted, but from the tense moment they had, he was struggling to process it.
He scoffed and let her hand go.
“He won't back out otherwise.”
And he knew he wouldn't. No one would.
Tumblr media
“How many people have you tattooed with that mark?”
“I don't know.”
“Oh, but you do. People tell me that the victims went to you to get tattooed and died after a few days!”
“Sounds like a load of bullshit.”
Xiao isn't fond of dealing with people. He didn't even bother hiding that fact, since he disliked meaningless drivel with some of them. What he hates is when they become overconfident with knowing what he didn't.
It was a big deal to them, but to the artist, he found it more of a joke. An impractical, unfunny joke. He'd rather listen to one of his co workers explain it and ruin it than this.
“A load of— listen to me, sir,” he spat, jabbing at his chest. It would've been intimidating if Xiao didn't think it was a bit childish, “I work with the agency. We're trying to figure out what the hell is happening, and if you don't say shit, I'll tell them you're that famed serial killer going on the loose!”
“Seriously?”
Xiao sighed.
Such is the way of being an idiot, he thinks. It's no wonder I don't bother tattooing people on a walk-in appointment.
“Wh— are you doubting my credibility?!”
“Not when you're harassing me.”
Watching him get annoyed, he saw the man out, watching as a certain someone came to the shop. Seeing the man storm off, he watched Ana raise her eyebrow at Xiao; a silent question, it seems.
What happened? He can read from her expression. Though, this made Xiao sigh and turn his head to the shop.
Come inside. That is what he was trying to say by his body language.
And she did.
It wasn't long until the two were talking about the incident: Ana had to hear Xiao explain briefly of the accusations he's given, what he replied due to the lack of evidence, and the childish fit that the reporter had to leave.
Still, that looming threat was never something he can let go of, nor he can't stop pondering about. Maybe it's just him, but there have been moments when that came to light.
… Or nearly, anyway.
“I see… Well, they're definitely too nosy for their own good.”
“Mhm,” he answered, cleaning up the pen he used for tattooing. “Anyway, are you here for your appointment?”
“Oh! Yes, I am. I want you to tattoo my arm.”
Retrieving the paper detailing her tattoo, she handed it to him. Examining what it looks, he simply raised an eyebrow.
Granted, the tattoo is simplistic— he can make do with outlining the bird like it was a constellation. It wasn't something he would suck at. However, the bird she chose was a phoenix.
Interesting metaphor. Though, he's simply curious on what drove her to choose such an interesting thing to be on her arm.
“... Hm. Alright. I can do it.”
Placing it down, he began to prepare the tools and lead her to take a seat on the chair. Pulling on the lever, he adjusted it so that she was facing up and he pulled up the arm that she wanted it on.
It wasn't long until the soft thrumming of the tattoo gun echoed as he worked on the tattoo, following each and every step of the stencil down to its smallest details. Sure, Ana and him conversed while he worked, but he remained silent to focus on doing the tattoo.
Silence was a comfortable thing for him, and sometimes, he can see it be a comfortable thing for her, too.
It did take hours until he was done with the tattoo, and although he had half of his mind to add that mark, he added something else that’s tied to him. Right by the wing had 保护 written on it, each line and curve made as accurately as one could with writing a different language.
It was different from the ones he’d do. And he made sure to keep it that way.
“There. It’s done.”
He observed how Ana’s eyes would trail over at the tattoo, moving as she examined it in great detail. He was one of the best tattoo artists she could ever find, but he knew she saw that print on the wing, too.
It was just a relief that she didn’t bother to ask.
“Since it’s your first time getting a tattoo, you can have this,” he added, grabbing a bag full of supplies with an addition he left there for her. “It’ll help when your skin gets irritated with the ink. Others had that happen to them.”
“Really? Well, I’ll use them if that happens.”
“Good.”
His amber eyes flickered from the tattoo gun and towards the bag, catching the gleam of turquoise peeking from inside.
Tumblr media
It was convenient that he placed that thing in her bag.
Now, he had an even bigger reason to do what he had to do to those that dare to mess with what’s his.
“I didn’t know you’d come back to stalk her,” the tattoo artist commented coldly, his heels digging into the wound on the reporter’s side. “I’m surprised. Seems like you have the audacity to try again to ‘frame’ me yourself.”
He hardly cared for the amount of blood he spilt. For the tattoo artist, having to make someone be worried in his shop was more than enough to gun for the culprit.
“Tell me. Were you going to abduct her?”
The reporter had the audacity to laugh at his face, the pain sending his mind to overdrive. Scowling, he dug in deeper, feeling his patience wear thin. He hated to delay what could hurt his lo— friend, he had to correct himself. He didn’t want those people to get to her.
“W-What’s it to you? I thought—”
“I’m not involved, but that’s my friend, you garbage.”
With another dig at the wound and his gun loaded, he aimed it at his other leg. He was already sure that she would wind herself in danger because of what he’s done, so he needed to be swift if he wanted to reach Ana.
He can’t risk losing her. Not to those bastards.
“I’ll ask again. Were you going to abduct her, you vile being?”
Much to his displeasure, the reporter laughed again. Although, he can tell that he wasn’t in the right mind. The expression he wore simply reminded him of those bitter memories he had hid all those years ago in his time at Enkanomiya, and he loathed to see it on another person.
Heaven knows what drove him like this, but he had done something immoral. He needed to do this in return.
Yes. He needs to. She’ll die if he doesn’t.
“... Hmph. I suppose you’re no talk and bite.”
Click. BANG.
Xiao could vaguely hear the gunshot ring as blood began to pour out onto the pavement, but this time, he felt no guilt for his actions. He knew it was bad, but he could hardly care about what’s on his mind.
Turning around, he grabbed his phone and contacted Ana’s number. He needed to be able to speak to her. He needed to.
It rang once.
It rang twice.
It rang far more than that. It continued to ring and ring, amping up Xiao’s worry the longer she didn’t take the call.
And after God knows how long, he heard it click.
“Xiao?”
… She’s fine.
“... Did I wake you up?” he asked her on the phone, his voice lowering its usual volume— possibly due to his relief. “I thought you’d be awake.”
“Mm… Almost, but yeah,” he heard her yawn. “I was… Looking for that guy. Then I fell asleep for, uh… an hour or something.”
“Has anyone entered the house?”
“... No. I’m fine. I had it locked, like you told me to.”
Good.
“Say, you sound panicked—”
“I’m fine,” he told her, cutting her off. With a sigh, he looked at the body, then at the phone. “Anyway, I’ll… Leave you alone for the night. I have a few things I need to take care of.”
He’d have to ‘clean’ things up. He can’t let her see it.
No one can ever see the crime he's done.

'what do you think of cadance' 'nothing' is so fucking funny. Cadance was never as controversial in the fandom drama days as Twilight, but she was the first real moment of 'what? What? What do you mean we're watching a toy commercial and we have to accept that???'. Everyone had accepted from fandom debates, questions with Faust, and their own little headcanons that Celestia and Luna were almost divine, magical figures, a heavenly diarch. and then this random horse shows up who's power is pink
ALGJFKLGJLSFDSG i wasnt aware folks even expected me to have an opinion on her. she's absolutely a toy character but i think she's decently well integrated at least by season 7. i just have like. no thoughts on her at all. pretty much zilch.
i WILL say i think the concept of a princess who's power is love being essentially the same level as the Fucking Sun And Moon is really fun, especially for a show aimed at young girls. like yeah love is just as powerful as the thing that powers the light in the sky and the moon at night. feels very fairy-tale-y in a good way. they don't really do a whole ton with that tho from what i remember. so she's like a tofu character to me.

hiiii helloo i hope everything's goin well for ya tofu :3
In that big post where you show your progress from 2017 to now and say you're spending 2024 getting better at fundamentals, what's your process on that? I feel like I'm at a similar point where there's big things I want to make, but my ability is lagging behind my imagination by a mile or two.
obvs you've been doing all those portraits, but is there anything more to it? like, how did you identify your weaknesses and then start to get better at them?
uhh thanks for reading this here have a buff guy
Tumblr media
hello olive, i cant believe i was not following u
every week i do: gesture drawing sessions (i host it sundays in cafe dot) 1 pixel portrait (thread in cafe dot as well)
and random studies through the ween + whatever art stuff i do for work. if i'm doing some personal art i'm always trying to do something new with it
like i never stick to a palette, always choose my own colours, always draw from observation if possible, try new ways of rendering. anything you can do outside of your comfort zone
fundamentals can mean a lot of different things, so its up to you to self analyze and figure out what your goals are. then ask what you need to do to get to where you need to be. what separates you and your favourite artists
personally i was having a good time doing portraits, but i realized that i still struggled with drawing the head and construction of it. so i did a 100 heads challenge (#meds100heads). and yes i feel like i learned a ton doing it
for me i knew i was lackin on drawing people because i spent 3+ years doing environments and working as an environment artist
i know youre a pixel artist but i found that it was much easier and faster to practise stuff in non-pixels. everything carries over really except the rendering

Captor Xiao: Introduction
GN! Reader
Warnings: Unhealthy attachment, obsessive tendencies, descriptions of depression, dark content.
Please do not read if you think this will have a negative affect on your mental health. If you are experiencing any of these behaviors/habits yourself, please seek out support.
There’s a loud crash, as Xiao’s keyboard slams into his desk. He had just got sniped… again. He hissed in annoyance, closing out of the game. He just wasn’t able to focus as usual, and instead his mind was running rampant with thoughts and images of you.
He groans, laying down on his bed, staring at the darkness of the ceiling. The only light came shown from his computer monitor, as it flickered randomly.
Earlier, he had watched another one of your streams, and some of your random content on YouTube. Gods, he loved you so much. Just seeing those videos, or even just hearing your voice was enough to drag him out of the worst of moods… which was quite the feat these days.
You usually streamed once a week, and he honestly didn’t know what he would do without those regular updates. It was almost like a set schedule… every Friday night, you’d stream for a minimum of 2 hours. Such an event had repeated for the last 2 months, much to his delight. At this point, Xiao couldn’t imagine going without those weekly updates. Sure, he could watch some contemplations, or rewatch one of your recorded streams. But it really wasn’t the same the second time… not when he had memorized every single word that came out of your pretty lips.
Maybe his… interest in you was getting a little overboard. Although, he couldn’t find it in himself to care, not when you had done so much for him and his current self. You could be compared to a sweet dream… utterly perfect and uplifting in every form. And for Xiao, whose life had been filled with so many struggles, he found it incredibly difficult to break away from that sweet dream. He never wanted to let you go… because if he did, he would simply return to that… terrible sense of misery that seemed to accompany him even in the happiest of moments.
With you… he didn’t feel the overwhelming pressure that usually accompanies his mind. And sometimes, he would pretend you were there with him, if only to help him do the simplest of tasks. Getting out of bed at a reasonable hour, or taking care of himself was instantly made much easier, if he would take the time to imagine you there with him, with one of your typical comments.
“Wake up, silly goose. It’s literally 11am!” You’d say, with your ever-present smile.
Or sometimes,
“Come on, you can do it. Take a shower… it’ll only take 20 minutes, max. It’s not so bad. If you do that… you can eat some of the almond tofu left over in the fridge!”
Maybe it wasn’t the most normal thing to imagine, but if it helped? He wasn’t complaining.
Xiao buried his face in the single pillow on his bed, letting out a sigh. Just seeing you was enough to make him smile… the soft tone of your voice and the way you’d always dress up for your streams… it was truly a sight to see. You were divine… gracing him with your time and company, if only through the screen of his computer monitor. This way, he was allowed to bask in your presence, even if he was a nobody. Even if he didn’t deserve the smallest bit of attention from you.
His computer made a soft sound, indicating that he had an unread notification. He instantly clicked on it, after he saw the typical greeting from your twitch channel.
“Hi everyone!
I’m so sorry to announce this, but I’ll be taking a 3 week break due to some personal reasons. Please don’t worry about me, as everything is completely fine. I just need some time to take a break from my usual routine, as I’ve been feeling tired and worn out as of late. Thank you for your understanding, and I’ll be seeing you all after three weeks.
Love you all, and stay safe…”
.
.
.
.
N
.
.
.
No….
.
.
It’s as if his mood had completely dropped to rock bottom. Forget his previous excitement; forget his previous happiness at seeing one of your announcements. It all was crushed the moment he read those words.
3 weeks.
You couldn’t be serious. 3 weeks? Three whole weeks. It was already hard enough… waiting for 6 days between your regular weekly streams.
The day after the stream would be the easiest, as he would be thinking back to everything that you said throughout the day. It was fresh in his memory… your comforting presence fresh in his mind.
The day after that, the initial happiness began to fizzle away. Still there… but it was much less potent than the day before.
Halfway through the week, it’s almost as if he hadn’t even seen you. Those were always the hardest days… the days were he was thrust back into the familiar feeling of loneliness. It was a heavy feeling, weighing down on him as he tried to sleep. He struggled to even relax… as the negative feelings would always overwhelm him to the point where he didn’t even have the energy to get out of bed. At that point, it seemed like there was no point of anything. No point of taking care of himself. No point in eating. No point… of simply existing. There was no point, if he was without you.
The two days before the stream, his mood switched to one of anxious anticipation. He knew you’d be online… in 2 days. If he could just hold out until then, he’d be able to see you again!
The very day before the stream, Xiao didn’t even sleep. He couldn’t forgive himself if he missed even one second of your content, or one second of your intro screen. It was like a religious ritual… one that he followed perfectly as if he was your devoted worshipper.
2 hours before the stream, he was biting his nails. The anticipation was killing him.
1 hour… he was grabbing another cup of coffee. He was exhausted, but it was worth it if he was able to see you.
30 minutes… he tapped his leg, as he shifted in his gaming chair. Usually your intro screen was on by now… what was happening? Was something wrong? Did you…
Can…
Cancel?
This couldn’t be… not after he put so much effort into staying awake just for you. His breathing got heavier, as he started going into a full blown panic attack. You… you were avoiding him? What did he do…? He’s sorry… he must’ve disappointed you… he’s so worthless… sorry…
he’s sorry…
15 minutes later, the familiar waiting screen appeared on, with a little note apologizing for the late start. He breathed a sigh of relief, as his previous mood completely evaporated at the sight.
You were just late… everything was ok. What a benevolent streamer you were, offering a little apology just for him. He sighed, smiling slightly. You always were the sweetest…
When the stream started, his expression changed to one of pure elation. Seeing you… seeing this new content, hearing about your day… it was the best thing that has happened to him since your last stream. He eagerly watched the stream, replying to your little comments as if you were talking to him and him alone.
You think the “Crimson Witch of Flames” domain is terrible? Xiao agrees, because the Lavawalker set is useless. (He doesn’t even know what artifacts are… he just heard you complain about that set in particular)
You pulled Nahida in a recent banner? Xiao doesn’t even play Genshin Impact, but he’s already looking into this character so that he can better understand your favorite game. He really doesn’t need to understand the whole story line of the game… but if it helps him connect with you in that way, then he’ll gladly look into it. Even if it means watching hours of videos, and spending hours on the Genshin Impact Wiki.
He’s just that devoted… willing to do that… willing to do… anything for you.
.
.
.
.
One week was doable. A struggle, but he could always power through.
But…
Three weeks?
His apartment was silent, except for an occasional sob, as he curled into a small ball on the floor of his room.
The teal LED lights shown down on his pale body, as it was shook on the floor.
The only other sounds in that apartment was the quiet hum of his PC fans, and the occasional startup sound of the air conditioner.
He was alone.
Again.
Again.
Again, he’s alone.
…he needed you.

xiao x gn!reader ♡
wc ; 824 / fluff & angst (kazuha ver)
honestly he would be pretty shocked when you confessed to him , i mean you???? love him???
(yes you had to confess first cuz hes too much of a pussy to say it himself)
very shy when you guys started dating , he doesn't know how to act at all !!
i mean how could he not stutter when your pretty self keeps saying he's all cute and dat
hes super thankful if you make him almond tofu , and would probably share some with you ( he would never share with anyone else , only you)
when you're around he always follows you around like a lost puppy !
very jealous :(
when you're around some guy or laughing with him he definitely gets jealous (especially if the dude is rlly tall or something)
its not like you're not allowed to talk with him its just that he gets so insecure and starts doubting his skills as a lover :((((
the way he communicates and makes you laugh so easily just destroyed his self confidence
he literally has a notebook filled with ideas of different topics to talk you with , and he doesn't know what to do when he runs out of ideas lol
and when he gets jealous he probably avoided you , and when you confronted him about it he felt even more guilty cuz u didn't even do anything wrong :(
ofc he trusts you but his insecurities just get the better of him
often thinks that maybe you're just better off with someone else rather than someone like him :/
he often thinks he doesn't deserve you
reassuring him that you only want and love him definitely calms him down , but probably starts doing the same thing again after a while
so make sure you reassure him a lot once in a while !!
he wants to hug you , but hes scared hes gonna make you feel uncomfortable or anything
so when you hug him first he definitely got rlly flustered but now he wants to do it again and again
and when you kissed him for the first time , he literally just stared at you when you pulled away. like what is he supposed to say now ??? all this is just so new to him
but he definitely enjoyed it and wouldn't mind if you did it again hehe
when he feels like you aren't talking to him as much as you usually do , he definitely overthinks about it and thought he did something wrong to upset you :(
after some thinking he finally decided to text you "r u mad at me?" or "did i do something wrong?"
in reality you were just busy and had to explain to him that you're not mad at him and he never did anything wrong
likes to say sorry to you even if he didn't do anything (hes just rlly scared you'll get mad and leave him at one point)
literally stares at you at random times and looks away when you finally look back at him
i feel like he would be that one emo hot nerd (cuz of this fanart) , so he would gladly teach you any subject you're struggling with !!
he finds you so cute when you start whining to him that you understand nothing lol
always so proud of you when you get good grades on your test
he likes to scold you whenever your being so reckless about your health , i mean how could he not?
buys you your favorite snacks whenever hes at the market , he also memorizes your favorite menu whenever he comes to your favorite restaurant
he isn't a great talker , but hes a good listener so he always listens to all your rants and gossips , he loves hearing your voice
has an photo album on his phone specifically for you
always listens to the playlist that you made for him !
likes all your post ; instagram , tiktok , twitter , anywhere rlly
he also keeps all your gifts that you made for him , he mostly displays them on his room cuz they remind him of you
he loves your attention so much but hes too shy to ask for it so you'll have to notice the little hints he gives you
"you're the best so you deserve the best" is what xiao thinks all the timeee
tells you that you can always call him whenever you need him
idk man hes just a simp 4 u and his friends probably tease him about it cuz of how different he acts whenever your around (hes such a tsundere)
would probably beat up someone ass if they ever say something offensive to you , how dare they do such a thing??
he loves you with all his heart , and you're his number one priority !!

Renaissance Man (Genshin Impact)
Synopsis: It takes a lot to cure your boredom, so you end up catching hobbies and interests like they’re Pokemon. –and how Xiao, Venti, and Xingqiu react. Warnings: Reader is just good at everything idk, talks about specific hobbies to illustrate a point, reader is more artsy (drawing, physical crafts, etc), you’re a business dude, this is a very big ego stroke have fun, not proofread, verrrrryyyy indulgent :D GN Reader
Tumblr media
.~
Xiao
In all honesty, Xiao finds you annoying. At first. You were more overwhelming to him, and a bit too noisy. But he’s seen you around Liyue, and you’re pretty capable and polite otherwise, so he isn’t too bothered by your presence.
He didn’t indulge you in the beginning, as expected. But you were patient and with a lot of time on your hands, seeing as you were a wanderer who just took odd jobs and sold the products of your hobbies. You had long since taken up cooking, and hearing that the mighty adeptus Xiao favored Almond Tofu, you tried making it. Every time you stopped by the inn, you had a fresh plate of Almond Tofu that you’d leave out for Xiao.
Xiao was confused by your gifts. He was not a being who granted favors in exchange for gifts, so he wondered what your motives were.
But it was simple! Your journey to Liyue was both a pit stop on your way to the Chasm (exploring purposes), as well as to meet one of the less elusive Adepti (at least in the sense that his “base” was near mortals) to ask about the history of Liyue and its battles. The story books in the shops of Liyue were not enough to satisfy your curiosity, so you just had to ask from a primary source!!!!!!
Xiao did find you interesting despite your noise, he must admit, so he eventually warmed up to you, thanks to both that and your patience and gifts. You’ve learned to lower your volume and keep a steady speaking rhythm, and Xiao has come to enjoy your ramblings about random things, at least a little bit. 
When you visit Wangshu Inn, you two sit on the topmost terrace and drink tea as you talk about your travels and the knowledge you’ve gained, and he even answers your questions about the battles he’s fought in or the details of Liyue’s history sometimes, though you never push further if you sense he’s uncomfortable.
He’s thought mortals to be interesting creatures, in the sense that it’s hard to understand their rituals and thoughts, and that sentiment hasn’t changed. The more he listens to you ramble about the fish species in Liyue compared to those in Mondstadt, or about the theory of the fake sky and how deep that rabbit hole actually goes, he gets more confused about how humans think.
But… (thanks to the traveller and the events of the Chasm and Xiangling’s cooking event, etc) Xiao has learned to just. Accept you. He has come to find your company enjoyable compared to the days he’s spent alone. When his own, negative thoughts come to cloud his mind, you always seem to be there to distract him with whatever nonsense you’re spewing (positive). 
And you, happy that Xiao has warmed up to you, and him just becoming precious to you because of his nature, have given him gifts. Things that you otherwise would’ve sold, like teasets or clothing accessories or paintings, you’ve given to him. Xiao isn’t materialistic, but he appreciates the sentiment. 
What he appreciates more, though, is the time you picked up an instrument for him. You once saw him play the flute, and decided that hey~~ What’s another hobby, yeah? You’ve got soooo much time before your departure to the Chasm haha! So you learned the flute! And though he finds it embarrassing that you saw him playing and decided to learn the flute because of him, he enjoys listening to you. He even wrote down what he remembered of that one song, long ago, and you have since learned how to play it. Not with the same feeling as he once heard it played, but passable. o7
With enough pestering, you’ve even got Xiao to learn how to paint and crochet, too! He had refused at first, telling you how such hobbies were too delicate for someone like him, but you didn’t listen. You figured you were close enough to him now to be able to bug him to do things with you, and luckily, you were right!
Overall, Xiao enjoys your company. You’re quite lovely, and the way you speak about your interests with such enthusiasm and smile when you’re engaged with is a sight for sore eyes. Xiao is also very happy, though he’d never ever admit it, that you’re so patient with him. He doesn’t like to imagine how dull his days would become again, if you were to leave and never pay him a visit. You’ve given him distractions and peace away from his duties and painful past. You’ve forced him to learn skills that he would’ve never picked up otherwise, and he likes it. Not that you’ve helped him find “purpose”, but you’ve helped him to see that his anyone can enjoy his presence (you, the traveller, etc etc 👀) and that his hands can do wayyy more than just fight.
Please delay your journey to the Chasm!!!!! 🙏
Venti
Woahhhh!!!! You’re so talented omg!!! Will you craft him a bottle for his wine? Maybe you can weave a picnic basket for your escapades together! Hmm? Basket weaving isn’t a hobby of yours? Well it is now! Don’t look so weary! Venti will join you in making some!
He’s short on mora, ya know? Your interest in arts and crafts comes in handy when you can make mora off it! He’ll be pestering you for stuff now!
But in all seriousness, he’s impressed! You pick up new hobbies seemingly every moment, not necessarily getting bored with the old ones, but getting burntout so quickly.
Hanging out with him made you interested in music as a whole, and you started to play the lyre and violin to pass the time. Sometimes, when you’re bored, you’ll join him as he sings for the public.
You’re not one for composing music, at least not yet, so you often paint your ceramics while Venti composes new ballads on his lyre. You never really plan what’s going to end up on the ceramics, so you often find yourself subconsciously painting the scenes Venti describes as you zone out. 
Well, it seems Venti is your muse! Your adventures with him are frequent, so you find yourself indulging in your personal hobbies less often, but when you do, you’ve got a whole bucket of inspiration to use! His songs and rendezvous with you leave you breathless and fulfilled, and you wind down by sketching the moments that left impressions on you, or planning up a new embroidery piece. 
As he is your inspiration, you are his. It’s lovely having a companion like you, who is so willing to go anywhere with him no matter what’s on the agenda. He likes how focused you can get when crafting or playing an instrument, you just look so serene. Perhaps the next song he’ll compose will be a simple one, praising that one person who can do anything well and looks so good doing it~ 😜
Venti loves when you take an interest in music history. See, he knows allll the songs!!! He can sing each and every one for you, and while he may not know everything about the song, he’s sure to know about the context of the song and the general time-period it was written. It makes him happy to see how interested you are in what’s basically the history of his people; he’s glad there are still those who care to keep the legacy of those long-gone going.
Venti is wise and he is old, but that does not mean he’s seen everything. One of his wishes is to explore every nook and cranny of this world, and through you, he can fulfill bits and pieces of his wish. He enjoys listening to your infodumps on anything at all, even if it’s about that one specific rock only found in one corner of the world which is your favorite. It’s still information about the world, and so he is grateful. Please keep talking to him about your interests! He also loves how blissful you look when you’re speaking about such topics. 
Overall, Venti has so much fun with you that he can’t imagine life without you in it!!! He’s never felt this content before. Having you by his side as his muse, and telling him about all the things that you cherish and have an interest in, and connecting over the arts–those are things he wouldn’t trade for anything. Not even a bottle of wine! 😡🍾
Xingqiu
He’s got another person to gush about books to!!!! He’s so happy! Chongyun is great and all, but he doesn’t have the same passion for certain book series’ that he does! He is so happy he is crying sobbing shaking! He is recommending you books at every turn because he knows you’ll start reading them the minute you have a second to spare.
Your passion is immense, which he loves. You just get so interested and caught up in every little thing and he finds it adorable! (Careful, though. If you’re too adorable Xingqiu might start teasing you 😞) When you two are together, it’s a just a whirlwind of Xingqiu showing off his knowledge on trade and commerce and swords and martial arts all the while you look at him with awe and stars in yours eyes. Either that or you two are talking up a storm in the corner of some restaurant, tossing character analysis thoughts and theories on story development back and forth. 
Aside from books, he indulges you in your other ramblings, engaging with you even when the topic doesn’t particularly interest him. It’s the least he can do when you take the time to indulge him!! Besides, perhaps some of this information could be of use to the Guild in some way?
He is impressed by your art skills, too! He thinks you to be very sophisticated, what with your beautiful pottery and paintings. 
In fact, he was the one who brought up you selling your art. He prepared a permit for you and everything! 
He wonders if you can write well, too, if you had ever taken up the pen while bored. You had, actually. During your travels, you’d sometimes write poems. Xingqiu finds them a bit… well, you’re not the best poet, but everyone’s a bit cringe (says the person whose book is beloved by all of Inazuma).
Overall, you’re very important to him!!!!! It’s so amazing to have someone to gush about your interests to, not someone who just listens, but is fully engaged in what you have to say. He enjoys indulging you in your interests when it comes to the Guhua clan and its arts, as well as the general details of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, because he also gets to show off.
.~
I'm just silly!!

The Purple Sign. Part V
Self-Aware! Oda Sakunosuke x GN! Reader
Tumblr media
Description: There is The Purple Sign on your door. Part V
Fluff. Oda pampering
Curry recipe I used in this oneshot
Warning: OOC. English is my second language
You heard some noise coming outside your room. Children's voices. And heavy steps.
Then someone knocked on your door and, after some waiting, opened the door.
Oda Sakunosuke was standing on your room's doorstep. Along with his five kids.
Well... Almost standing.
Kousuke hung on Oda like a koala, wrapping his arms and legs around Oda from the back.
Katsumi grabbed Oda's left arm and was hugging it.
Shinji and Yu were hugging Oda's legs, keeping the man in one place.
Sakura was simply holding Oda's right hand.
Oda looked amused, embarrassed and tried. Still, he doesn't seem to view the current situation as something bad. And tiredness... It didn't come because of the kids.
Sakura took a step forward and handed you The Purple Sign.
"[Y/N]! We want to ask you to pamper Oda! He is sad and needs some attention!"
Shinji looked up at you.
"He didn't want to bother you, so we bring him here."
Yu's voice sounded serious. A little comically serious.
"We know, that he is in good hands with you."
Katsumi point at you.
"So don't break our trust."
Kousuke frowned, looking at you.
"Or we will be sad and eat all your snacks!"
This five were so serious. It took all of your willpower not to laugh and pinch their cheeks.
You cast a quick glance at Oda and took The Purple Sign from Sakura.
"Well, I will do it. Oda is in good hands. I promise."
Kids looked satisfied and lose their grips on Oda. After few more serious stares towards you, the kids left you and Oda alone.
You smiled.
"They won't let anyone feel down. They are great kids."
Oda hummed in return. You handed The Purple Sign to Oda.
"Oda, if you don't want it, it's okay. You could sleep here, so kids won't know. Just, remember, I will always be there for you."
It took Oda some time to make a decision. He took The Purple Sign and hang it on your door.
That's the only answer you need.
__________
You were in the kitchen, making curry.
Rice and tofu were slowly fried on the pan. You were carefully mixing them up with a wooden spoon.
And Oda Sakunosuke was hugging you from behind and leaning on you. He almost lay on you.
Both of you were quiet. You were listening to Oda's heartbeat.
And he was listening to yours.
Oda always told you, that he likes it, when you are near him. When he can feel your warmth and heartbeat.
Every time Oda came to you with The Purple Sign, he insisted on holding you close.
"You are your own person. You can choose whatever life you want, Oda."
You add curry powder, then some soy sauce.
Oda rubbed his cheek against yours. His stubble tickle. He hugged you tighter.
"It's not my place to order you to do anything. If you think, that you can write a novel, then do it."
Garlic and ginger were added to the mix. The aroma of spices filled the room. Fresh basil were added shortly after them.
Oda hummed and kissed the back of your neck.
"It smells great, Novel Luck."
You still have no idea, how he came with this nickname.
"Don't do things you don't want to, or you aren't ready. You are your own real living breathing person."
When curry was ready, you put it on two plates and add a raw egg on top of both servings.
"Nevertheless, came to me, if you feel down. I am here. I am near."
You insist on baking them a little, before eating. Oda simply squeezed you in agreement.
_______
You two were back into your room.
The purple lights were on. Tea was served. And you two were sitting next to each other, eating curry.
From time to time you kissed his cheek. In return, he hug you closer to his side.
After curry was eaten, you open the emergency shelf and take few books from the drawer with Oda's name on it.
Every month you took random books from the library and put it in Oda's drawer.
You take any book you can see. Author, genre and length don't matter.
You and Oda read books. Well, Oda read them and his voice is shooting. You sit on his lap and hold the book. His embrace is warm.
_________
Oda is laying on your bed, while you are laying on him. You caress his cheek.
"Want to share something with me?"
Oda shook his head.
"Nothing much. Except for one thing..."
Oda pulled you closer.
"I am glad to have others in my life. And I am happy and lucky to have you in my life. Thank you, [Y/N]."
Oda kissed your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin multiple times.
His stubble tickles you again, and you let out a small laugh.
Tonight you slept on Oda. His arms were holding you close to his chest. His breathing was shooting. You were covered in blankets.
You two were safe. Ready to build your own tomorrow.

xiao x reader fluff NOW!!! (jk. Plsplsplsplspls make it ill be so happy trust)
A/N : sigh. You’re fuckin’ lucky i’m in a good mood today mate😭
Also, its gonna be one of those... boyfriend!xiao.. cuz i have no ideas for fluff w/o angst, alongside some fluff scenes mixed in ig.. :3
(guys i swear usually im nicer they're my friend.. kinda, more like not friend but friend)
TW: NONE
CW: He calls you dove, you call him love, [e/c] mentioned like once, some parts that are written specifically for females at birth, but can be read as any gender, zhongli & ganyu mentioned once
Before we begin. may seem ooc, realistically, xiao probably wouldn't be open with having a mortal relationship so.
Tumblr media
𝐗𝐈𝐀𝐎 𝐗 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐅𝐅.
Tumblr media
Boyfriend!xiao who at first avoided you, simply because he didn't appreciate falling in love with a 'mortal'.
Boyfriend!xiao who would leave small home-made butterfly, made of leaves, on your window-seal whenever you left it open
Boyfriend!xiao who doesn't like PDA, but is open to physical attention alone in your home
Boyfriend!xiao who would come within an instant of you calling out his name, even if its for matters he deems stupid
Tumblr media
"Xiao!" Your voice shouted out in a loud tone, calling out for your beloved boyfriend,
In an instant he appeared with arms crossed over his chest, his eyes narrowed slightly as they dart around to make sure you aren't in any danger, before long they land on you, and his tense stance relaxed as he blinked.
He was entranced at the gorgeous view, your [e/c] eyes shining with excitement despite your skin being covered with some flour and other ingredients, such as sugar, as you held out some almond tofu alongside other things to eat,
'A picnic?'
His yellow eyes sparked with slight interest as he voiced his question, "A picnic, dove? At this time?"
Your smile widened slightly, letting out a quiet, excited hum,
"Mh! Yea, I know usually at this time you're not really busy... is that okay love?"
He blinks, before he silently nods, walking closer to you to grab the treats,
"Yes, dove."
Tumblr media
Boyfriend!xiao who can and will fight for you
Boyfriend!xiao who barely knows anything of the female body, especially when its that time of the month, but will still at least try
Boyfriend!xiao who likes to ask zhongli & ganyu for relationship advice whenever they all have daily meet ups
Boyfriend!xiao who tries to make his love for you a secret from a lot of people, but its SO obvious
Boyfriend!xiao who sometimes will get a random feeling in his chest and teleport to you, only to find you either crying, upset, sick, or all of the above
Boyfriend!xiao whos awkward but also not awkward, (idek how to explain this one.)
Boyfriend!xiao who is ABSOLUTELY smitten with you .
Tumblr media
Xiao and you laid on your couch, simply enjoying eachothers company as you both stayed silent,
He hadn't noticed how your eyes had closed, your breathing steadied even more, and you had fallen asleep,
"Dove, what do you-"
He turns his head to you, expecting to see you staring at him, awaiting him to continue, but instead he finds you sitting there, curled into yourself in a comfortable position, fast asleep,
He blinked once, then twice, before he brought his hand up and slowly slid it through your hair, his eyes softening slightly as he did so,
'I love you.'
Was his last thought before he got a sense of danger, already off to fight monsters, with one last gentle kiss to the head.
Tumblr media
A/n: it was very, VERY fast-paced tbh, i forgot about this.. it was in my draft these past 1-2 days
