look who's checking in. me- it's me, hi. (。・ω・)ノ゙back for my annual "let me change the theme and then lose all inspiration to actually post" ritual.
actual tldr of what happened since march: I was sick due to stress at my previous job, so I'm no longer working there (yippee!)
my doctor recommended that I slowly get back to writing- taking it easy and not opening requests. for those that have been chilling in the inbox since, uh, february (?) I will try to work on those too ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ
I'm feeling like potentially changing the navigation page, so if there's any suggestions I'm open to reading them; doesn't matter how silly you might think they are ~
(linnea will be my next theme character. she is a creature i love her omg.)
so. I looked at what you’ve already done before and I highly hope that I didn’t overlook something like it. But I would like to request a “who fell first and who fell harder” because I’m curious on your take on it. Personally I would like to request Sethos, Dahlia and Illuga because he’s so new but really do whoever you feel like other than them. If at least Sethos or Dahlia are made I’d be happy… I’m curious on your view on this more than anything
hiiii anon
you can read the finished piece here. I'm so sorry it took me this long to get it out. (つ╥﹏╥)つ
really hope they will be to you (and all those dahlia/sethos/illuga enjoyers lurking) liking;; tysm for the request againnn
to dahlia, live is about enjoying it to the fullest. the two of you have been long-time companions, be it for drinking or watching chaos unfold. with his preference for the whimsical life, it seemed like even the mere thought of settling down to pursue a relationship was unrealistic.
the day it hit him wasn’t even anything special. sermon in the morning followed by some errands with you during the midday. maybe it was the season of windblume that finally knocked the realisation into dahlia’s head as he realised he could do this forever. be it chasing cats or having a cheeky laugh — you were the only constance the blond wished for in his life.
btw, do not tell venti that dahlia likes you more than him because he will get sulky af okie byeeeee

fell harder.
not at all surprising, given sethos’ specific upbringing. a menace he was even as a child, but the entire deal with becoming the next leader of temple of silence and the rite of duels, did do it’s on his psyche. it’s wasn’t until later in life he realised that a dear friend of his should be read as more than a friend.
who’d knew all needed for this realisation was a tad bit of jealousy. sumeru city is a vast town, with people from every corner of teyvat — some of those not realising that being too friendly can be problematic. like that one merchant who was set on trying to woo you into buying his goods. that guy should be lucky a threat of an arrow to the eye was the only one.

fell first.
illuga considers himself to be good at reading people and their intentions. so while yes, he was the first one to realise his feelings, a love at first sight it was not. first words, however? now that’s more likely what happened. or maybe like that thing where eventually you’ll fall for them.
just from the first words you uttered, illuga could feel like he would be gone in a nick of time. there was just something about yourself, that had him drawn in. like your whole existence was akin to a sunny day in the middle of rain season. that very feeling the man would more than hope to return to, time and time again.
well, all illuga could do in the meantime was to hope you reciprocated his feelings… however long that would take.
hii! i absolutely love your writing and layouts and blog n stuff its so cute >_<
i remember your apple cheeks post abt the harbingers with a kid and thought it was very sweet and lovely :3 could you possibly maybe write a little blurb thingy for wanderer/scara as a parental/older sibling figure? ♡
hiiiii (。・ω・)ノ゙
thank you so much for the request! you can read it here ~ tysm for being patient with the silly writer
(also ngl, the idea of a scara parental figure gives me so many ideas because dottore exists and like what if- •𐃷• )

content warnings: very obviously PLATONIC; fem!reader implied given the initial prompt; uh, pre-character development of wanderer scara I suppose? but also not rly.

It’s as simple as a game of ping-pong… If you even manage to see Scaramouche during the day. According to ‘everyone’, it’s a matter of his delegated tasks being never ending, yet something at your body itches — whispering the doubts of being the real cause for the distance.
On the other hand, when the veil is off, the gentle nature appears. There’s that one specific melody that serves as the background for your dreams. And, credit where credit is due, you’ve have been trained first hand in some of the ancient sword-dancing techniques.
Over the years, the relationship might turn for the better. As long as the majority of your interactions stay after-hours (less blackmail, the better), the two of you might have a gossip night over some tea.

more than welcomes your affectionate nature. but, as with everything in life, he has some boundaries.
first of all, do not hug him while at work. not only does he carry scalpels that could injure you, but he’s trying to be professional for his patients. after hours? go right ahead… but do mind not to squeeze too hard — that’s where the second boundary comes in.
baizhu already has the tendency to cough or feel lightheaded from his condition, and feeling like his lungs get squished to death will not ease either. so if you could contain your excitement and overflowing love until he’s sat, he’d be most pleased.

oh the greedy, greedy man. a glutton for both riches and affection. pantalone does not care how busy he is, he will make time in his busy day to entertain your need for love. it’s like looking in the mirror. yes, he is annoying everyone around because, shut the fuck up pantalone, you’re already obnoxious — you don’t have to be blabbering and showing off your partner either.
it’s just something so whimsical about getting to hug your partner, being covered by a blanket-like coat and just existing. getting these other stuck-ups (pulcinella, you know it’s especially that old man) muttering under their breaths is just a cherry on top.
