i love they

[floralalchemy]

“even if things won’t always remain as such, it is nice to take advantage of moments of calm even here.” he’s taken to stargazing on a roof somewhere for a bit of casual solitude, musing quietly to himself.

[floralalchemy]

“this place seems to have so many holidays throughout the year. which one is next again?”

[descensionstar]

those gaps were a curious thing. Lumine had heard the tales of those vanished for periods, only to fall once more from the Stars' command, with or without memory of times prior. names such as Childe and Xiao had flickered, seemingly without reason, and it made trying to grasp that collective's intentions all the harder.

not that it mattered — as far as she was concerned, they were as as unassailable as Celestia without the knowledge and strategy to puncture whatever barrier skied the ground beneath. that never stopped her before, but here it paid better to not be too reckless.

when Albedo spoke relief of meeting, she nodded with a smile to indicate the feeling was mutual. Descenders now in their own right, each friend she found here brought comfort of a world she considered closest to home with that of her birth long gone, and they family without blood ties.

Golden would have placed the alchemist relatively nearby, but unsurprisingly, his roots were hardly lain there — it was more the lack of a location of similar environmental challenges as Dragonspine that led the Traveler to wonder where primarily he ventured.

"it's good to hear how settles you are, whatever the circumstances in charge". and meeting with his fellow Knights, even without their typical duties assigned, must have been reassuring. Lumine's face softened again at thought of Eula, free of the shadow her family's conduct have cast over her, finding a place to cal her own on the smaller isle. free to be herself.

"maybe a night out together is in order. I haven't happened upon Eula, but narrowing it down to the City of Glass will help with running into her. could be like old times, just with less trouble abound". though that also meant the distinct absence of Amber, though the presence of her fellow Cryo wielder may patch that hole. Eula had been restricted as result of an unfair image painted of her, but here where she could start fresh, excitement sparked to learn what relationships she could forge all of her own. "if you catch her first, send her our regards".

[floralalchemy]

“a night out? well, i suppose, if we could all coordinate our schedules in some way it might be nice.” excitement isn’t something albedo is known to show particularly well but the mention of the idea is enough to bring him back to how much he had enjoyed a dinner surrounded by friends in his campsite up in the mountains.

the circumstances of the excursion hadn’t turned out the best exactly so pending nothing dangerous plagued the city again… it might just be the opportunity he was looking for, to actually spend time with those he enjoyed the company of without any looming stress.

it wasn’t as if he minded certain other people to an extent but many didn’t particularly try to understand him as much as lumine had so naturally, he would also jump at the chance to spend time with her again whether it was just the two of them or with some of their friends.

“if i’m out that way i can certainly leave her a message from you if you don’t see her before i have the chance. some of my belongings are currently stored at her home, so there’s a good chance i’ll run into her again, though.” pending he has time to get out that way again, but with his habit of wandering he isn’t worried about that being too far in the future. “we’ll see, yes? if nothing else it will serve as a good break from any hum drum routine.” not to imply he was bored, but once one fell into the routine of day to day life it was easy to forget to stop and enjoy the small things or take the time to spend with others outside of work.

albedo was especially bad for isolating himself in the past and focusing heavily on things that needed doing. it took time to unlearn such habits, and without klee to care for he found himself seeking even more distractions to curb his worry as well.

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

[writterings]

here's some instructions for anyone who doesn't know how to opt out:

login in on desktop, it's not available on mobile yet

click "Account"

click on your blog

go to "Blog Settings"

go to "Visibility"

Scroll down to the bottom option

turn the toggle ON, not off

you will have to do this individually for each sideblog you have too, no way to do it for each account in one go

“there’s something a bit fascinating about people’s wish to eat things that aren’t actually edible but look like they would be pleasing to consume. whether they be colorful or simply look like they would be pleasant to put in our mouths. logically, we know when something is inedible and should not be consumed but our brain still desires it. in that way all manner of creatures are fascinating in what they’re willing to try at least once.”

“by the way, craving rocks and dirt is actually a common sign of deficiencies in certain things and is a very good reason to see a doctor. and colorful wildife especially may have a chance to be poisonous so you must exercise caution lest you want a much more unpleasant bout of food poisoning. additionally, please cook your meals well to avoid unwanted things entering your body as well. the level of heat plays a very strong role in this.”

★ Was Stelle not supposed to look at what the man was painting? She wasn't sure. But she'd walked past his canvas in the park. Maybe it was because it was getting a little warmer, but was it possible to paint in such a cold environment anyways? She wasn't sure. In the end she couldn't help but sneak a peak. Should she give a critique?

She was certainly no art expert.

"Mhm, mhm... I see. Quite a stunning rendition of... whatever that is." To be fair that was about as accurate of a critique as you might get from anyone on the internet.

[floralalchemy]

albedo is beginning to think not many people have a particularly keen eye for art and while it isn’t surprising it does get a bit annoying when people try to give unsolicited advice.

he can’t be sure that’s her intention yet but he does eye her with a bit of apprehension.

“they’re children playing in the park field.” he supplies as a correction. “do you have much interest in art?”

[retracedwill]

"oh! yes, it's rather fascinating hearing about all the other tales that are out there. other stories and variations of the same tales are absolutely a thing. i've seen it with my own eyes, before coming here. is it something rather novel for you?"

he tilts his head. "i personally think it's better to learn about the other worlds firsthand. books can't capture everything about what living there was like, how the people talked and acted. what was your world like?"

[floralalchemy]

“perhaps, but there are some things you can’t learn from a person’s retelling and vice versa, books may omit or twist truths. so i like to delve into both and while reading is something i enjoy i do also like hearing stories from people directly. i was aware to some extent of the possibility of multiple worlds existing but to learn more of it here has been fascinating.”

“for myself, i suppose our world has some unique traits. it feels there are neverending things to learn even about the place you live in. i was living in mondstadt before i got pulled here, as a knight and alchemist mostly. prior to that i explored into the depths of many domains alongside my master, after which i was kindly accepted into the knights when those adventures came to an end. my titles mean a lot less here, but i suppose in a city that approaches law enforcement differently it’s expected. i realize that’s not very detailed, so do you perhaps have any specific questions for things you’d like to know of?”

[sendousha]

"It'll look beautiful to be full of life again. I hadn't thought about it before, but once the holiday decorations come down, it feels like the colour drains away until the spring blooms".

[floralalchemy]

“there’s something to desire about every season i suppose but when humans experience a prolonged winter they tend to get depressed as well, it seems. it will be nice to see the city come to life again from the dreary post-holiday atmosphere and see color return to the city.”

[lightfallsword]

"A practical garden full of herbs or do you prefer one that focuses more on aesthetics?"

[floralalchemy]

“oh! well, it’s a mix of both, really. i have a flower garden, and i’ve preserved the flowers that can be brought safely inside each year so i won’t have to grow new ones. for cooking, i like to grow mint and small lamp grass. i’d like to expand the edible plants in my garden so i can keep experimenting with those, but it has been uprooted before so i need to look into safe wildlife deterrents first.”

[floralalchemy]

i actually went back and took screenshots of something i was referencing; i found it really interesting that a while after i wrote albedo as being the type to make his own paint this dialogue came up in an event meaning he actually does! it made me happy that it’s a canon thing even if it’s such a small thing.

[floralalchemy]

“much as i say i do like the cold i am actually looking forward to replanting my garden this year when the snow begins to melt even so.”

[streunerhund]

   catching up with them isn't the problem. their form is slimmer than his, and their legs shorter. dias falls into step alongside the other easily, with no second glance behind himself. they walk in silence for a moment or two, before the mercenary eventually speaks up, low enough to only be heard between the two of them.

   ' you're being followed. ' a determination, not a question. he counted at least two, which usually wouldn't be a problem ... but where there's two, there's probably more, and dias only has a wooden weapon. the person next to him, on the other hand ...

   ' probably because of your sword. looks expensive enough. ' the golden middle, silver wrapped with blue, it's a beautiful sword. with an eyebrow raised that's clearly sceptical, dias continues: ' can you wield it? '

@floralalchemy / sc

[floralalchemy]

it wouldn’t be the first time he’s been tailed like this. there’s a certain level of danger that comes with being a well-known knight when dangers lurk even in somewhere so seemingly peaceful as mond. and here he doesn’t have nearly the backup he would if the knights of favonius were more intact so he’ll have to simply pull his own weight even more now.

but maybe it doesn’t phase him so much even it it brings up certain concerns. trouble follows even here, people looking for what they might think an easy target, some humans would never change their tune.

with hardly a glance behind them, albedo nods as he looks up toward the other, who seems to have quite a bit of height on him.

“i can.” is what he says to confirm it, hushing his own tone to avoid drawing further attention, “it’s not just for show. i’d hoped it wouldn’t come to that but rather be safe then sorry.”
