hiya! welcome to my self ship blog, the official home of xiaodae and ruetano! please see my rentry for more info, including my full f/o list and dni! also, my strawpage!
i'm mostly hyperfixated on genshin impact; i ship with a lot of its characters, but xiao reigns supreme as my main f/o!
proshippers and dupes/doubles are not welcome here.
he adores the fact that you can’t keep your hands off of him — that you want to explore his chest, his arms, his face. that you show him how gentle touch can be, that you show him a tenderness he had never experienced before
It's also orientalist as fuck to use "yuri" and "yaoi" in full English sentences, but nobody wants to have that conversation.
YOU ACTUALLY MAKE A REALLY GOOD POINT HERE i think that's another one that i'd like to cut out of my vocabulary . like let's not forget our roots ( femslash and slash )
@adoredbyalatus a gift for your little princess on his birthday (the gift's Rueda) c:
When he’d come home, the first thing Kaveh did was give you a kiss hello.
“You’re back earlier than expected,” you remarked. “Did the client cancel?”
“No. Well, sort of. When they were reminded it was my birthday from the paperwork, they rescheduled. So I wanted to come home and eat my lunch with you.”
“I just ate,” you murmured regretfully.
“That’s okay! I’ll eat and we can just chill out.”
While he was unpacking his lunch onto the table, you looked at yourself in the mirror. You had intended to dress up a little bit later, to surprise him when he came home.
Now you would have to just do the dance you’d planned in your regular day clothes. Though, he did always say how much he liked those…
“Actually, before I eat, I think I’ll brew some coffee. Do you want any, Rueda?”
“No, thank you!” you replied. “Don’t you want your mint tea?”
“I’m saving that for later, when it’s even hotter out. It’s so much more refreshing than anything else I’ve had.”
You cooed softly. “Well, I’m glad.”
“I’m sure it’s the love that does it,” he shouted over the sound of the coffee grinder. “Because I can taste the love!”
You giggled.
He sat down a few minutes later with his coffee, and set into his lunch.
“Don’t you want to sit down?” he asked you after his first bite.
“I have a surprise for you,” you said by way of explanation.
You stood in front of him, hands on your hips and feet in ready position. “I got this together for your birthday.”
You counted off, and began your dance. It was inspired by the mating dance of the Bird-Of-Paradise, with grand sweeps of your arms and sways of your hips. You pointed your toes, with little hops as you alternated your feet, to mimic the birds’ dance.
Then, you took on a slower and more rolling form, like the waving of their long tail feathers in the wind.
When you were done, you looked at Kaveh, lifting your eyebrows to ask what he thought.
“That was great! The little hops were so cute, and you looked so lovely doing that second part. Where’d you learn it?”
“I’ve been doing some birdwatching, and reading stuff at the House of Daena.”
“And it turned out so well so quickly? Extraordinary! But you are a skilled dancer, of course you could do that.”
You blushed a little, looking down. “Well, I had an outfit I was going to wear for it, too, if you’d gotten home later. I didn’t have a chance to change.”
“Do you want to go change? I can play music for you this time!” He reached over and picked up the instrument resting against the couch.
“Later,” you assured him. “I’ll do it again later.”
“Well, thank you for sharing this rehearsal with me, then.”
You were slightly thirsty from your dance, so you sat down next to him, and debated sipping his coffee. Instead, he pushed the mint tea toward you. “Here. You’ll prefer this.”
You uncapped it and took a sip. Yup, nice and refreshing.
Kaveh leaned over, resting his head on yours and getting smacked with your ear. You wrapped your tail around his hips.
“Well, I’ve had several good birthday surprises now,” he said with a contented sigh. “On top of a very good lunch packed with care, like you do every day. I feel good about this year.” He turned his head to kiss the top of yours. “And I have you to thank for it.”
just remembered to make another attempt at spiral abyss now that my sandrone is at least decently built and i got my second/third/??? 36 star ever through the power of stellar superconduct cheese :3 that's my sandy~!
you and your f/o are soulmates. no matter if you know it or not, you two are dragged together in every timeline, every universe. whether its love at first sight, growing up as childhood friends, learning to love at the same time as you're learning to fight.
even if right now you're in seperate universes, your love always finds a way. your f/o can feel how much you love them even when you're so far apart, and they hope you can feel their love too.
I am really sorry if you're a person who cannot handle seeing stuff like that (the ragebait account who was ableist). I cast a reverse spell:
Your partners DO love you.
Your partners would NEVER want to see any harm come your way.
Your partners will NEVER think you're a burden
Your partners will ALWAYS treat you with so much patience, care, and kindness if you agere!
Your partner loves you for you and not some pathetic ragebaiting garbage person can change that! THEY LOVE YOU FULLY AND WITH THEIR ENTIRE HEARTS AND SOULS
And they WOULD reassure you now! If that troll account has made you question or doubt, your partners are right there with you! Reassuring you that just because some sad little welp of a person wrote something nasty about their love that DOESN'T make it true!!
the new theme isn't bad at all and i'm excited to see what's in store but this does make me sad. lahai-roi (the region) my beloved... lahai-roi (the exostrider) and aemeath are what made me love this game again 😭
❝ House Tyrell of Highgarden is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, being Lords Paramount of the Mander and the liege lords of the Reach. A large, wealthy house, its wealth is only surpassed among the Great Houses by House Lannister, and the Tyrells can field the greatest armies.
Highgarden is an ancient seat of rule and the heart of chivalry in the Seven Kingdoms.Their sigil is a golden rose on a green field, and their words are 'Growing Strong'. Members of the family tend to have curly brown hair and brown eyes. ❞
The Tyrells have to be one of my favourite houses in the entire series. They're producers of beautiful, generous people & sharp minds — which I believe is certainly suited to you ! & isn't it only appropriate to assign such a wealthy house to the lover of the creator of mora?
@adoredbyalatus , house targaryen
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀𝓕ire and 𝓑lood
❝ House Targaryen of King's Landing is a noble family of Valyrian descent who once ruled the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The Targaryen sigil is a red three-headed dragon, breathing red flames on black. The house words are "Fire and Blood".
The only family of dragonlords who survived the Doom of Valyria, the Targaryens left the Valyrian Freehold twelve years before the Doom. They resided for more than a century at Dragonstone castle on Dragonstone island, until Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, began the first of the Wars of Conquest in 2 BC. ❞
I mean… what else would I assign to our resident dragon ? Besides, you're an Aemond kisser, you've married in. Welcome to House Targ, sister !!
when a genshin f/o's birthday rolls around, ship art generally seems to be a minimum in their bday hashtag on twitter. fans simply appreciating the character themself... unless that character is kaveh. which really cements the belief that people only care about him and/or alhaitham for the sake of a ship. one that hasn't even been written well in canon for years. it sucks so bad. for both of them tbh. kaveh's got a lot of nuance that can be fun to explore, meanwhile i see people mischaracterize the hell out of alhaitham to make him this Stoic Daddy Dom stereotype. they both deserve better - better treatment from those who claim to be their fans, and better romantic partners lmao. like rueda and judah!
imagine your stoic f/o having soft moments they think you’ll never notice
you catch it by accident. they think you’re asleep, not paying attention. their hand lingers when they fix something for you. their voice softens when they say your name. there’s a carefulness there they’d never admit to
Context: We've been out of a car for over a month. We got it fixed faster than expected because a friend spotted us for the alternator temporarily, and Owen literally just. Did the work himself again. So she's back, but we have literally zero dollars for insurance because of us having to drain our funds with uber and ordering groceries and how much rent was (I will not get into the context of that because i'll get bitter again).
Anyway, we literally cannot afford to not have a car anymore because we're tapped and if we need to get somewhere we have no uber money and apparently our friends don't like us enough to help :')
The amount will probably be (safely) around $90, but I might keep this up for a little bit past that because we need gas for said car and electricity (it's a prepaid plan and it's also summer in Texas, the math is horrific).
Please help a disabled trans person get their life back on track, I'm so fucking tired.
[c*sh*pp]
[p*ypa*]
(Disclaimer: I am a very low functioning schizoaffective system with intense chronic pain disorders, so I'm incapable of working, and Texas refuses to grant people disability. Also, being trans in a small Southern town makes you virtually unemployable. I shouldn't have to justify my lack of employment, but people are fucking rude.)
