Basically 3 and a half days left for my midterm project and I've barely started... I'm so cooked 😭
So somehow I'm almost done?? I'm just incredibly suspicious because I only spent a few days when we were given two weeks. I've gotta be missing something right??
drabbles ☆ Wish Upon a Star
Wish Upon a Star
In which you go stargazing with Albedo; you end up making an impromptu wish.
❥ Albedo x gn!reader ₊˚⊹ — additional info: drabble, established relationship, probably ooc
Albedo spoke bluntly. "You know, stars are just spheres of hot gas."
You huffed. "So? They're still pretty."
"I never implied they weren't," Albedo said, straightforward as ever.
Before you could respond, you spotted an astonishing sight. Your eyes widened upon seeing it.
"Look! It's a shooting star!"
You pointed at the meteor as it made a blazing trail through the sky.
Albedo hummed. "So it is."
"Wait, I need to make a wish!" You exclaimed in panic.
Closing your eyes, you latched onto the first thing that came to mind. Once you had made your split-second decision, you opened your eyes once more. You turned to see Albedo looking at you curiously.
Albedo had tilted his head. "What did you wish for?"
You pouted. "If I tell you, it won't come true!"
"Alright, alright, I won't pry," he conceded.
You crossed your arms. "You better not."
Albedo smiled, amused at your antics. "I hope your wish comes true."
Beaming, you gave Albedo a light kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you!"
A/N: Incredibly short so I'm not really satisfied with this but what can I do lol. Anyways, up to you to decide what wish reader made :)
Tartaglia x Reader
(Gravity from Hazbin Hotal inspired)
The snow fell quietly over Snezhnaya, soft and endless beneath the dark winter sky. You used to love the snow. Now it only reminded you how cold everything had become. The halls of the Fatui estate stretched endlessly around you, beautiful and empty all at once. Servants whispered when you passed. Soldiers lowered their heads. Nobody stopped you anymore. Not after what happened. Not after him.
Your fingers tightened around the letter in your hands until the paper crumpled. Another mission. Another delay. Another apology written in careful handwriting that did nothing to fill the silence he left behind.
“I’ll come home soon.”
Soon. Soon had become weeks. Then months.
And somehow, the cruelest part was that Tartaglia still loved you. You knew he did. You saw it every time he returned bruised and exhausted, smiling the moment he found you in the crowd. Every time he wrapped his arms around you like you were the only thing keeping him tethered to the world.
But love was heavy. And lately, it felt like gravity itself was crushing the air from your lungs. That night, you stood alone on the balcony overlooking the frozen sea, the wind biting at your skin. You didn’t hear him arrive.
“You’ll freeze out here.”
His voice was softer than usual. Careful.
You didn’t turn around. “Thought you were leaving again.”
Silence. Then boots against snow as he approached slowly.
“I am,” he admitted.
Something inside you cracked.
A laugh escaped your throat, shaky and painful. “Of course you are.”
Tartaglia reached for your hand, but you pulled away first. That hurt him. You saw it immediately. His expression faltered for only a second, but it was enough.
“You said this life wouldn’t change us,” you whispered. “But every time you leave, it feels like I lose more of you.”
The wind howled between you.
“I don’t know how to keep holding onto someone the world keeps trying to take away.”
For once, Tartaglia had no easy grin. No teasing remark. No confidence. Only exhaustion. Only fear.
“You think I don’t feel it too?” he asked quietly.
His voice cracked on the last word. That startled you more than shouting ever could. Tartaglia stepped closer again, slower this time, like he was approaching a wounded animal.
“When I’m away from you,” he murmured, “everything feels wrong. Like the ground disappears underneath me.”
His gloved hand finally found yours. Warm. Shaking.
“You’re my gravity.”
The confession hit harder than any battlefield wound.
“You keep me human,” he whispered. “Without you, I think I’d become something terrible.”
Snow gathered in his hair as he lowered his forehead against yours. And suddenly you understood. The weight in your chest wasn’t love destroying you.
It was love trying desperately to hold two broken people together while the world pulled them apart. Tartaglia closed his eyes.
“So don’t let go yet,” he pleaded softly. “Even if I leave again. Even if this life keeps hurting us.”
His fingers intertwined with yours tightly.
“Stay long enough for me to find my way back to you.”
what do you think of the new upcoming snezhnaya characters? •v•
Alright, gonna run through a breakdown of each character! (in terms of who I'm saving for & initial impressions of course)
The Tsaritsa HOLY SHIT SHES GORGEOUS!!! Definitely pulling 🩵 I've been waiting for her for so long omg,,, I was so hyped for her you have no idea,,, I just wish her design incorporated more fur (idk what else to call it T-T). Not sure how that would work out but I think it would've been a nice touch! But I'm no character designer so who am I to talk lol
Vodyanitsa She's really pretty omg,,, most likely pulling for her but an aspect I consider for characters I want includes their personality. So for now it's a maybe,,, I think she's a siren fae of some sort?? (correct me if I'm wrong) And I think that's super cool! Definitely something that sways me towards pulling for her,,, I really like her hair accessories too :3
Vesna I like her outfit and colour palette! I know it's literally just the same colours as the other guards but shh,,, Don't really know much else about her but I may possibly pull for her,,, It appears she has a stellar linchpin so I guess if I do pull, I have the bonus of gaining something meta lol
Odette Her design is so pretty but like Vesna, I don't know much else about her so she's not exactly a priority for me,,, but we'll see if that changes. I believe she's a ballerina?? I swear I heard that somewhere but uh don't trust my word-
Danica I think the concept of her character is so cool!! Love me a maid assassin,,, I just wish her skirt was longer 😭 Otherwise I got nothing else to say sorry,,,
Conclusion All in all, I think they cooked with the girls' designs! As for the guys, I'm not as invested so I don't have as much of an opinion 😓
Mitya's cute though!! And Noy looks kinda cool,,, but that's about it,,, Would be totally great if Pantalone becomes playable also! I haven't played through the newest archon quest and I'm not really a fan of him anyway but I know others would love that! I don't see Pulcinella becoming playable at all,,, would be kinda funny but he ain't gonna sell lmaoo
Anyway that's enough from me,,, I feel like I didn't really say much tbh so I fear I may have disappointed you with my mediocre opinions anon,,,
Hiii ask me anything (or not idk T-T)
Made my theme much more consistent!! It's all Cinnamoroll now :P
I'm gonna miss my Juvia pfp and what not but I'll get used to it ig,,,
Basically 3 and a half days left for my midterm project and I've barely started... I'm so cooked 😭
drabbles ☆ New Year, New Us
New Year, New Us
In which it's the night of New Year's Eve; you take this opportunity to do something just a little cliché.
❥ Childe x gn!reader ₊˚⊹ — additional info: drabble, probably ooc, takes place in Snezhnaya but written before its release, reader is shorter than Childe, first kiss
A/N: I know it's nowhere near New Years but I wanted to write this anyway lol
"Come on, Ajax! We have to hurry or we'll miss it!"
You tugged on Childe's sleeve, attempting to drag him along with you.
He chuckled. "Alright, alright, I'm hurrying!"
Childe followed without protest, letting you take the lead. With your hand wrapped around his wrist, the two of you darted through the streets of Snezhnograd. You were headed towards the vantage point you had scouted out ahead of time. It was a tall hill that overlooked the city: the perfect view for the fireworks show. You knew it would be a bit of a climb, so you made sure to leave yourself with sufficient time to get there.
The fresh snow muffled the sound of footsteps as you made your way to your destination. Your breath fanned out into the night air, a warm fog escaping from your lips. The buildings you had zipped past had been replaced with snowy powdered trees a while ago.
"Where are we going?" Childe asked curiously after some silence.
You turned your head to glance at him briefly. "You'll see."
"We could have just watched the fireworks from the city, y’know?" He pointed out.
You slowed down to pout at him. "But that's not as special!"
Childe grinned annoyingly. "It's the same thing every year."
You smiled mischievously. "Not this time."
He tilted his head. "Oh? What's that supposed to mean?"
You stuck your tongue out. "Not telling!"
Childe shook his head, sighing. "What am I going to do with you?"
You giggled. "Don't worry, we're almost there!"
True to your word, the two of you had reached the base of the hill not too long after.
Childe raised a brow. "You want to climb this hill?"
"Yes," you said without a moment's hesitation.
You could tell Childe was still skeptical about your plan. "You're sure this is worth it?"
You huffed in annoyance. "Yes, I'm sure."
You trudged ahead with your head held high to prove your point. Only for you to nearly slip after taking several steps up the hill.
You could hear Childe trying to suppress his laughter from behind you.
"I can carry you," he offered as he came to a stop beside you.
"You don't have to-"
"Too late," Childe said as he scooped you up.
You squealed, caught off guard. "Hey, put me down!"
Childe laughed. "And have you fall flat on your face? I'd rather not."
With you in his arms, Childe closed the remaining distance. His strides were quick and confident. You have no idea how he did it without slipping. Soon enough, the two of you had reached the top of the hill.
Childe set you down carefully. "Hm, not a bad spot to watch fireworks."
"See, I told you!" You exclaimed triumphantly as you got to your feet.
Childe's response was interrupted by the sound of a firework going off.
You gasped. "It's starting!"
You turned to face the direction the noise came from. More fireworks went off, scattering across the sky. The sparks bloomed into colourful flowers, painting a breathtaking picture. It was a sight that you argued rivalled the beauty of the Snezhnayan auroras. You watched the show for a few moments longer before you snapped out of your amazement.
Right, now was the time. You steeled your nerves, suddenly feeling shy.
"Ajax."
He turned to face you. "What is it-"
You got on your tip toes and pressed your lips against Childe's. A muffled sound of surprise escaped him. But after recovering from the initial shock, he returned the kiss. It was warm, a stark contrast to the cold surrounding you. Childe cupped your cheek with a gloved hand as he deepened the kiss. The act itself was gentle; he treated you with the care reserved for something precious.
Sadly, you had to pull away eventually to breathe. You found yourself missing the warmth of Childe's lips immediately.
"Y'know, you didn't have to wait until New Year's to do that."
You smacked his arm lightly. "You're ruining the moment!"
He smirked. "Not sorry."
With a shake of your head, you directed your attention back towards the fireworks. After the last of them had gone off, Childe spoke up.
"So, what are we?"
You smiled as you entwined your hand with his.
"Us."
Another A/N: Not gonna do taglists anymore... Sorry they're just kind of a pain to add every single time T-T
Sorry for being quiet! Stressed about a midterm for a class I'm retaking and kinda reached an impasse with the Albedo fic I was working on... Anyway, have this little thing before I head back into the battlefield lol
Do It For Him
In which Illuga wants you to quit a bad habit; you oblige.
❥ Illuga x gn!reader ₊˚⊹ — additional info: drabble, lightkeeper!reader, smoking cigarettes, suicidal ideation
A/N: Don't smoke kids! Smoking is bad for you!!
You inhaled deeply. A few seconds later, smoke billowed from your lips as you exhaled.
You had taken a short stroll away from camp, not wanting the smell of tobacco to disturb your comrades. From where you stood, you watched the night sky above. Tonight, the stars were obscured by dark clouds. There wasn't much for you to admire. Even the moon was nowhere in sight.
You took another long puff of your cigarette, sighing.
"Is something wrong?"
Turning towards the source of the voice, you see Illuga approaching.
You answered him as he came to a stop next to you. "Nothing, Squad Leader."
"I told you that you can drop that when it's just us two," Illuga huffed.
You smirked. "Sorry, Squad Leader."
Illuga shook his head in exasperation but didn't say anything back.
The two of you stood in silence as you continued to take drags of your cigarette. The lack of an exchange of words wasn't awkward at all. You and Illuga were close enough that just being in each other's presence spoke louder than words.
As you were about to bring the cigarette to your lips once more, Illuga scolded you out of nowhere.
"You should quit smoking. It's going to kill you one of these days."
You rolled your eyes. "I don't really care. Does it matter if I die?"
"It matters to me."
That caused you to freeze, cigarette hovering just barely away from your lips.
You faced Illuga, perplexed. "Why?"
His expression was intense. "Because I don't want you to die. Simple as that."
"Just because you don't want me to die doesn't mean I won't," you responded sardonically. "I mean, we're Lightkeepers. We risk our lives every day," you added.
"That may be true, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do your best to live," Illuga countered.
"Illuga. I joined the Lightkeepers because I figured I should do something meaningful if I didn't care if I died," you said.
"Why do you not care?"
"Because I have nothing to live for," you answered without hesitation. "No one would care if I died."
"You're wrong. Your squadmates care. I care," Illuga asserted.
That caused your heart to stir painfully. In truth, you knew he cared. But he cared about every Lightkeeper in the same way. You weren't special. And yet, hearing him say it aloud had you hoping he meant it in a different way.
Illuga's eyes were full of an emotion you couldn't describe. "So please, no more smoking," he finished.
You had to look away; his expression had you feeling a way you shouldn't. Sighing deeply, you stamped out your unfinished cigarette.
"Fine, I'll try."
