Stand-by, everyone! I am currently fixing my timeline and links in preparation for my return.

Edit: I will be returning by next Saturday as this week is our examinations and an academic break will follow, enough time for me to set-up.

[doctorheusch]

It has been a long time. Hello, everyone! I just wanted to drop by and check in after a month of hiatus. How are you guys?? Thank you for the continuous support and care you all have given me and my works even if I'm inactive here. It means a lot and I appreciate it! Although I'm still on hiatus since academics are keeping me busy, I will be online from time to time. 🫶

Baizhu being my future muse? Who knows.

[doctorheusch]

Happy New Year, everyone! Hoping for a peaceful 2023 for you all.

[doctorheusch]

I thought I would feel better after returning from my vacation but no, I feel so burnt out that I've lost the motivation to do or complete anything. Should I go on hiatus? Perhaps I'm exhausted but my mind is denying it. Art below is by zephyrine-gale.

[doctorheusch]

Merry Christmas, everyone!! I'm greeting you guys this early since my phone is going to be taken away in the following days which unfortunately includes Christmas. Hopefully, you all would enjoy your celebration and do eat a lot! May the archons bless you with good health and longevity. See you on the 26th! 🫶

Not me taking screenshots of the pending requests in my inbox so that I could start on them while on vacation. There are 14 and I'll work hard to complete, perhaps, half of them on my 3-day solitude.

[doctorheusch]

Well, bad news. I can't write, edit, nor answer asks for the following days since we are traveling to our province and will stay there until Christmas. The catch is, they will not allow us to use our phones or other devices. I'm just laughing in advance at the pain of not being able to do anything.

[doctorheusch]

hello helloo !! before i request ANYTHING i just wanted to say i love your works like they're genuinely so well written and everytime i read your angst fics it's really giving " why does it feel so good but hurt so bad " HAHAHA yes yes but i do love your works !!

Qanyway, feel free to decline my request !! it's totally okay if you don't want to take it hehe. it's modern au with albedo where reader is really shy but also at the same time loud and energetic and sunshine and stuff and they're always self conscious about being too loud and annoying and so they always tell albedo to tell them if they get too annoying and they always say things like "please tell me if i get too annoying :(( i never want to bother you and it's okay to tell me if i get too much" and albedo ALWAYS reassures them that they will never get annoying until they do. albedo finally gets sick of them and he's like "you're so annoying, this is why none of your friends stick around for long." and reader gets sad and for a few days there's no contact between the two until suddenly reader asks to break up. and then albedo's devastated, while reader's thoughts are "i'm gonna change for him, i'm gonna become more quiet so that he'll love me" and so for a few weeks reader gets increasingly quiet to the point everyone notices and albedo finally is able to find reader alone and he talks to him about it and says something like "what changed? you know i miss the old you- " and that stuff and reader's all confused because they're like "but..i was doing this for you? i wanted to better myself for you.. so that maybe you would love me again :( " and it just ends up with reader crying in albedo's arms and albedo reassuring them that they're loved.

i know it's long, i'm sorry !! i really do apologize :') oh incase i request often, can i be referred to as "🍳 anon" ? hehe it's okay if not !! also feel free to change the character to whoever you see fit ! same with the plot, okay thank you again !! bye bye !! i hope you have a lovely day (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

CRIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND LOVING MY WORKS!

There is no need to apologize, I like how detailed your request is! This way, I know which story flow you prefer and follow it to give the possible best results. Ah, I can feel the heavy angst already. Instead of changing him, do you mind if I add other characters with Albedo as well? The soonest I can post your request is by the end of this week or next week! I hope you don't mind.

You're very much welcome! And thank you as well for taking the time to drop a request. I hope you have a lovely day too, 🍳 anon! < 33

[doctorheusch]

This is the next request I'm going to work on, reblogging so that I don't have to scroll a long way just to read the needed details. ✨

I was researching Pierro for my Fatui!OC and came upon his Commedia dell'Arte counterpart, Pierrot. There is a musical series dedicated to him named “Pierrot Lunaire” and the first of the songs is named “Mondestrunken” and here is the lyrics:

The wine which through our eyes we drink

Pours from the moon in waves upon us

And like a springtide

Overflows the stillness of the night.

Desires so thrilling and so sweet,

Cascading through the floods in thousands:

The wine which through our eyes we drink,

Pours from the moon in waves upon us.

The writer, so divinely moved,

Is greedy for the holy liquid,

And skyward he directs his dizzy head,

Then reeling, gulps and slurps down

The wine which through our eyes we drink.

Mondstadt is no stranger to being perceived as our gateway to Celestia, with this— is it possible that Genshin linked the plotline to some of Commedia dell'Arte's scenes? PS. There's also a part entitled “Colombine”.

[doctorheusch]

I just woke up and realized I'm 18 today. Happy Birthday, self!! I'm honestly proud that I held on until now.

[doctorheusch]

Everyone, meet my child. Seiwakaze.

I am not an expert in Japanese names or clauses but to honor Wanderer's roots, I still chose to follow said language. His name Seiwakaze is derived from two words and a very short phrase.

Sei coming from Museifu which means “no government”. Yes, he is helping Nahida behind the scenes but I see him as a free soul, ruled by no one. Next, the Wa originated from Heiwa that is “peace”, Scaramouche has a chaotic mind and now as Wanderer, he is learning how to accept his troubles and emotions with Nahida's aid. Peace is a far-fetched word but I like to believe he will be able to feel it soon enough. Thus, it is included. Finally, Kaze is “wind”, for obvious reasons. I don't know, I'm oddly fond of this name I've made up. What do you guys think? I am looking forward to his story in the future. <33

[doctorheusch]

What? I am just starting the new Archon Quest and there's angst material already registering in my head. Placing that aside first, am I the only one who thinks that Scara's smile is genuine whenever he talks with Nahida??

LIKE LOOK???

THIS ONE TOO.

It's just a small raise of the lips but it's there. Unlike his smirk and mocking smile with Paimon and Traveler, Scara is actually smiling when it comes to Nahida. AND HIS TONE OF VOICE AS WELL! Someone stop me from writing a platonic fic for them.

[doctorheusch]

New profile and header done, next are my posts which I'll edit tomorrow. Dottore is becoming the soul of this blog and I'm here for it. Credits for my layout is in my pinned post and bio! I'll also answer the pending asks later on.

Edit: Wait, I'm not satisfied with my layout. *innocently switches to Pantalone*

A commotion raged the north wharf of Liyue Harbor, people were shouting in excitement while the Millelith tried to calm them down. Two figures can be seen circling one another, weapons brandished in their hands as they glared, eyes raging with fire. What a sight to see, isn't it? You pointed the tip of your sword at Childe who smirked at your action. “What? Done for the day? Admit defeat and I will let you go.” He sarcastically encouraged, his smirk growing at his taunt. You despised that look, “Are you jesting? Who would be done for the day after only having a little exercise? Perhaps you're the one exhausted, Tartaglia.”

The citizens are used to your duels and even the Liyue Qixing gave up on admonishing you both, Ningguang instructing the Millelith to keep the residents safe from the possible drawbacks of your fights instead. You entertained Childe's challenges not because you have a grudge against the Harbinger, you just love the thrill that fighting gives you like it's a part of your life. A similarity you surprisingly have with him. The more difficult it is for you, the more complicated it is for the 11th Harbinger as well. It gave you the satisfaction of knowing you're not alone in battling your desire for bloodshed yet you are similarly disturbed that the only way for you to be calm is by combatting another. However, that is why Zhongli exists in your lives.

“When do you get to be the bad guy?” Childe whined, his arms folded on top of the table as he leaned his head on them while you chuckled at the seat beside his. Zhongli took a sip from his teacup, golden irises boring into Childe's, his moist lips opening to speak, “And attack a citizen of Liyue? I will never dream of it.” The former God of Contracts gave the smallest of smiles, finishing his statement, as you poured another cup of the brewing tea for him. Childe grumbled under his breath, knowing that Zhongli certainly wouldn't hurt anyone unless necessary. You patted the ginger's head, comforting him, “It's alright, Ajax. Just means more time for us.”

“But I want to spend time with you both in an intimate way! Not always fighting.” He responded, burying his face in his arms and you found it cute. It's true. The moments you have with Childe are mostly in your acting around the Nation of Commerce, your last heart-to-heart exchange being months ago so it's quite understandable why the Harbinger is sulky and deflated. Zhongli also caught up on this, “Alright. How about we spend some time together at Lantern Rite? Us three roaming around together and watching the fireworks. Would that be enough compensation, Ajax?”

“No.” Childe whispered, shaking his head. You can't help the chuckle that passed by your lips as you ran your fingers through his bright locks, “Adding to that. Cuddles every night, after work?” What you said piqued the interest of Childe as he raised his head and then nodded, “Yes!” You didn't miss the fond glimmer in Zhongli's eyes when you turned to him. The most silent yet giving person in your relationship is Zhongli while you are the balance and Childe's the outgoing and overly protective one. You love your partners so much that it hurts whenever you part from them for a long time or if they get hurt and not tell you.

“Sweetheart, we're home.” Zhongli's voice announced, opening the door of your shared home, ushering you and Childe to enter first before he followed. A few minutes later, you three are on the couch, completing your agendas. You have seated at the edge with your legs propped up on Zhongli and Childe's thighs, they didn't mind at all. The air around you three feels warm, it always is.

“One thing I never thought of is falling in love,” Zhongli admitted out of nowhere which made you and Childe turn your attention to him, puzzled by his sudden words. The usually stoic man smiled, “I am glad that I found the meaning of love with you two, (Y/N) and Ajax.” The next thing you know, you are pulled to lay on Zhongli's chest as Childe leaned his head on top of yours. It is an odd hug but the arm around your waist and the tickle of hair against your cheek made you feel whole. Made you feel loved.

The Sumeru Akademiya hosted an event at one of King Deshret's temples, hoping to complete ongoing research about it. As the Sage of the Vahumana Darshan, specializing in Aetiology, you are a host of the occasion. To say the least, there is no bad blood between you and the other Sages, however, the General Mahamatra and the Head Forest Ranger seem to be annoyed the moment you step into the room they're in. It made your fellow researcher's blood run cold when it was announced that the three of you would lead the event. They silently declare in their minds that whoever decided on the line-up must be sick in the head.

“Why, if it isn't the Vahumana Sage. How are you doing?” Tighnari greeted, standing beside you outside of the Sanctuary of Surasthana. You three were going to meet to report your plans for the affair in front of Lesser Lord Kusanali. A hum came from you, not wanting to respond verbally. Tighnari shrugged and brushed your apparent dislike for him and Cyno, “What? Don't want to talk?”

“After what you and General Mahamatra did? I think not.” You glared, turning your attention to the papers in your hands, whatever Tighnari said in reply, it passed by one ear and out the other. It wasn't like you were that genuinely angry but you are upset. Who wouldn't be if your lovers play a trick on you and you fell for it? Tighnari and Cyno must have thought that intentionally making you worry was funny. You almost turned the whole of Sumeru upside down with how much you were concerned, completely disregarding the rival act you played in front of the Sumeru citizens.

“Tch.” You harrumphed when they immediately left after you met with the Dendro Archon, not even bothering to speak with you. “What's wrong, (Y/N)?” Nahida inquired, looking at your bothered figure whose watching the two men leave the estate. You shook your head, bowing towards her, “It is nothing for you to worry about, Lesser Lord Kusanali. It's just a problem between me and them.” The young deity wanted to tell you but you left the room before she could even speak. Nahida sighed, “Ah, they'll figure it out themselves.”

Reaching home in the middle of the night, you expected the house to be deadly quiet with your partners in the room already. However, you are surprised to see a line of Sumeru Rose petals scattered from the front door to the dining room. Pursuing their lead, your eyes widen when you see both Tighnari and Cyno asleep on the table, several homemade foods in front of them. There is also a cake outlined with the words, ‘We are sorry, (Y/N). Please forgive us?’

You know how they struggle to cook the dishes served on the table but they learned and persevered just to please you. The smile on your face widened when they drowsily woke up, no doubt that their heightened senses caught your presence in the room. “Shhh, go back to sleep, loves.” Standing behind them as they tried to open their eyes, you internally died because of their cuteness. Cyno mumbled a few words, “(Y/N)... Sorry about what we did... I promise it won't happen again...” The General Mahamatra is nodding off but he managed to complete his statement. Tighnari bobbed his head in agreement, ears twitching, “Mhm... Have you eaten? Let's eat...”

You placed a soft kiss on both of their foreheads, smiling, “Let's go to bed first, you two. We can eat what you made tomorrow.” Urging them to stand from their seats and supporting their wobbly figures until your bedroom, you are caged in their arms not long after. Cyno buried his nose at the top of your head while Tighnari took ownership of your neck. They complete you just as you do to them and as if they thought of the same thing, you felt gentle kisses land on your head and shoulder, Tighnari and Cyno lightly saying, “We love you, (Y/N).”

The cold of Snezhnaya could never rival the air between you and a certain pair from the Fatui Harbingers, one being the head of the Northland Bank while the other renowned for his name as the Doctor. It can make any local bystander's soul freeze in fear every time you three would be seen together because they know nothing good comes after. Today is one of those days you want to question yourself on why you even met them both. “It's the worst decision in my life.” You muttered to yourself, arms folded in front of your chest. Pantalone heard your words clearly but he smiled, asking, “Pardon? I didn't hear you well.”

“I said you are a pain in the ass.” You changed your words, not giving him the satisfaction of knowing your thoughts. The Regrator's smile grew and Dottore chuckled, bringing his face near yours, “Oh darling, when aren't we a pain for you?” His question made a million thoughts run through your mind as you pushed him away by his mask which gave him further amusement to your demise. You huffed, rolling your eyes, “That's right. It would be a miracle if you weren't annoying for just a day.”

“Do you want to bet, dear?” Pantalone mischievously offered, folding his hands behind his back. His closed eyes opened, revealing the lilac irises hidden behind his lids. If he were to be the opposite gender, many men would swoon for him, not like there aren't any doing so at the moment. “No. For all I know, you both would work against me like always.” You shook your head in rejection, fully aware of how they play. Dottore smirked, “I'm hurt you don't trust me, (Y/N).”

“Since when did I trust you?” The words left your lips naturally, “Is the pain delicious, Dottore?” He didn't answer, only standing in front of you with a small playful smile on his face. You looked at the duo and wondered how on earth did you manage to talk to them. They are high-ranking officials of the Tsaritsa's organization and here you are, an ordinary individual who cooks and paints for a living. Although your status is so, Pantalone and Dottore never failed to miss a day of conversing with you. Never. It made you queasy at first yet as time went by, you got used to their presence in your life.

“(Y/N)?” Pantalone's voice called and you looked up at him as you now lay between him and Dottore in bed, the duvet covering most of your clothed bodies, leaving your shoulders and heads exposed. What others didn't know is your relationship with the 2nd and 9th Harbingers, outsiders only see the bickering which happens daily, they are clueless about how every night you'd stay up with your lovers to tell stories or listen to them ramble about work. “I'm sorry, I got lost in thought.” You apologized, kissing Pantalone's palm from the hand he used to caress your cheek. Dottore's hold around your waist tightened a little after hearing you say so as he placed a kiss on your neck, “You've been zoning out a lot lately, darling. Are you alright?”

“Don't even think of experimenting on them if they aren't.” Pantalone warned and Dottore pouted in his place, nestled behind your back, “You are mean, Regrator. I wouldn't dream of trying my ideas and concoctions on our little dove.” The Doctor reached out the arm that was previously coiled around your waist to play with Pantalone's hair, tugging on it, returning to its original position when the dark-haired Harbinger was about to slap his hand away. You chuckled under your breath, “Dottore wouldn't do anything like that to me, love.”

“Finally, someone who has sense.” You could feel Dottore's little satisfied breath by your neck as you smiled. Pantalone dropped the argument, seeing you both so comfortable made his heart swell but he'll never admit it. He removed Dottore's mask, placing it on the bedside table while you took it as a sign for sleeping time. One of Pantalone's arms is under your head like a pillow and the other is at the middle of your back, his fingers gently massaging the spot. Meanwhile, Dottore has his left arm around your waist and his right hand playing with the ends of your hair. This is what your nights are usually like and this is how you want them to be. Free of worry and work, just the three of you in the arms of one another, basking in the peace. It puzzled you indeed how you managed to talk to these two with your position in society, nevertheless, they always made you feel worthy of them.

“Nobody could handle one of us, what more for both?” Pantalone once said, “(Y/N). We are glad that you have accepted us instead. Our reputation is deadly yet you see none of those when we're with you, always saying that we just don't know how to enjoy life from the calm side.” Dottore continued the Regrator's words like they were two peas in a pod. His hand intertwined with yours as you were seated on his lap, “Pantalone is correct. You are the person we can never let go of because you're special. The drug Regrator and I needed to keep ourselves sane.” Dottore and Pantalone placed a kiss on both sides of your temples, “So don't change yourself and the way you treat us, darling. We love you just the way you are like how you do with us.”

“Fuck you!” The curse is shot at Kaveh as you threw a book at his head. He didn't back down and pointed at you after dodging the novel, “Shut the hell up, (Y/N)!” It is normal for the students of the Akademiya to witness a brawl between you and the architect. Ever since your freshman years, you've been competitive with each other. The only one who can stop you? Alhaitham. “Excuse my rudeness, Scribe! But we have another Kaveh and (Y/N) situation in the main lobby.” A student reported, panting and holding onto her knees. If you and Kaveh were fighting inside, it would've been better, however, you are holding your duel in a space where public audiences could watch. Alhaitham sighed, closing the book he was reading, “Lead the way.”

What he saw was a myriad of littered books which is enough to trigger his anger, you and Kaveh's loud voices just crossed his line. Alhaitham pulled you both into his office by the back of your collars, closing the door with a livid face. “Is there one day where I wouldn't hear you two fighting?” He spoke, voice low and threatening. You gulped, Kaveh as well. Alhaitham sat on a chair placed in front of you and he crossed his legs, “You know the penalty. Do it for an hour.”

You froze. Kaveh is about to complain yet is stopped by Alhaitham's chilling smile. Offering your hand to Kaveh, you looked away when the blonde intertwined your fingers together. “This is unfair.” Kaveh pouted, “We just argued about the compatibility of students from different Darshans.”

“Shut up, Kaveh.” You and Alhaitham simultaneously declared, making Kaveh pout more. This is always the case when you get into fights, a hand-holding punishment where you are forced to tolerate your temporary dislike for your partner. Time ran and an hour clocked by, Alhaitham looked up from the text he was examining to see you and Kaveh playing rock-paper-scissors. Even if he was mad a while ago, he can't help but ponder how he got into a strange relationship with two idiots. Not that it matters, he would be the support for you two as you are for him.

“Alhaitham!” Kaveh's voice shrieked as you tackled the architect to the ground. Alhaitham reacted too early and was caught in your shenanigans, ending up with his back on the floor and a laughing you on top of him and Kaveh. You snorted at the bewildered look on their faces as you poked their cheeks, such good-looking men, how did you manage to catch their attention? While thinking, you failed to notice the mischievous glint in Kaveh and Alhaitham's eyes, deeming it too late when they flipped you over, their fingers tickling your tickle spots.

You laughed, trying to pry their hands off but to no avail. It's two against one, you could never win over them when it comes to sneak attacks. The two spent a few minutes making you suffer before letting off, watching you catch your breath. Kaveh chuckled and kissed your forehead while Alhaitham caressed your cheek, “We have a treasure for a partner, haven't we?” Kaveh looked at you with so much love and Alhaitham mirrored a similar glance, brushing away some strands of your hair that fell in front of your face, “We do. (Y/N) is the precious token we have in our lives.”

I said if Scara doesn't come home on my birthday, I'll stop playing. However, look who came home at 50/50 on 31 pity, 4 days before my birthday.

I AM HAPPY. JUST TOO TIRED TO SHOW BUT I AM FREAKING OUT HAHAHA

[doctorheusch]

Hi, I’m going around asking this to multiple people, please let me know your honest opinion! :)

How would you and/or other writers feel about someone reposting someone’s work with new pronouns and body specifications? Giving full credit, of course.

This sounds bad, let me explain it better..

Example: Someone has written a story with a female reader, and it’s absolutely wonderful, but very unfortunate to all the male readers who would also like to experience it (and vice versa).

Now, hypothetically, someone else comes along and “takes” their work, and changes the pronouns and gender specifications, to fit the opposite gender (or make it gender neutral). I wanna make sure that with this, the original writer would get full credit, they would be tagged and everything, so that the person reading the changed work would know who made it and whose work it is.

The work is the same, and the original writer gets all the credit, but more people can enjoy said work.

Do you think that this is ok? From as many perspectives as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to answer, it’s very appreciated, have a nice day/night. :)

It is not okay. Even with proper credits and everything that would indicate that it's the original author's work, it still won't sit right that someone would take the said piece and change its pronouns and gender specifications so more people could enjoy it. Authors write what they are comfortable with and they write for a purpose. As an author myself, hypothetically having someone else post my work with different specifics than what I intended would never be alright with me.

Additionally, taking and changing a work without the author's permission first would fall under copyright law. It also wouldn't be called the original authors work and wouldn't be considered the same because the changes made aren't what the original author wrote in the first place (even though the changes that occurred are simple, shifting pronouns and gender specifications make a big impact to a piece as a whole), the credit would go to the one who revised it.

I can't speak for other authors but this is my perspective on your query. Although perhaps some writers would agree to such an act, not me. You're welcome, I hope my answer is helpful. Have a nice day or evening as well.

Seeing theories in my feed made me think about mine. About what Nahida said about descenders, Traveler and the Heavenly Principles (presumed by Nahida) to be part of them. The other two might be the “Primordial God” and the “Second Who Came” because they are said to be beings from unknown worlds as well which qualifies them to be descenders. You can search them in Genshin Wiki and yes, I'm that deep in Genshin lore. Anywho, I am reminded of the angst between a certain outlander and the seelie ancestor because fuck?? Why would they let two souls meet then suddenly break them up like I NEED THE WHOLE STORY, HELLO??

Another self reminder that I have unfinished oc's since May: one being child of the aforementioned couple, the other is the child of Istaroth, and last is the embodiment of Irminsul... I want to continue them based on the information given with the release of Sumeru but AAaAAAaaaAaaA. Okay, this is enough, time to return to my practice.
