have dottore all of a sudden on the brain, tying you up to a lab bench or to one of those operating tables—not for surgery no, but for more... pleasurable pursuits. in the name of science, of course.

cursed concept numero 444: 

you’ve been prepping for weeks, if not months, if you count the effort put into acting “good” so as to raise your rapport with the dawn winery staff. listening carefully at night for footsteps coming and going down the hallway. pairing that information together with the grandfather clock ticking away in the corner of your room. getting a rough idea of the schedule the servants follow, learning what times are high in traffic, and most importantly; low in traffic. secretly plucking and stashing away a hairpin before a maid could remove it for the evening. then multiple, high adrenaline attempts at gauging your master bedroom’s lock. 

it took six nights in total to comfortably feel your way around picking the lock. the halls were empty, not a soul in sight, and despite the overwhelming temptation to flee, you played it safe. kept to the schedule. tomorrow night would be the most ideal time. you overheard preparations were being made for master diluc’s return, a matter so sweeping, even the guards normally stationed in the wing of the manor you occupy would have to pitch in. you were able to buy a few more days by requesting a handmade garment in the area diluc was traveling. never one to deny you any material good, he would patiently wait for the tailor to complete their handiwork if it meant delivering the gift to you himself. 

that would be your chance. the prime opportunity to escape your luxurious imprisonment. 

the sun went down and the moon shone above. you struggled to hold the hairpin from how badly your hands trembled. it took longer than your previous attempts, but you heard the telltale click, that promised everything you longed for and more was just within reach. you go over your plan one more time for good measure. you’re going to tiptoe down the long, empty hallway, to the library on the first floor. there, you left a window slightly askew, then covered it with thick velveteen drapes so it’d escape notice. that’s your ticket out. 

it’s all or nothing now. 

then the door starts to open — but wait, that can’t be right.

because you’re not even touching the handle. 

ah. 

diluc towers before you, the special garment you requested in hand. he had been so thrilled at the thought of giving it to you that he wriggled out of some business discussions to rush home early. it’d be such a nice little surprise, he thought. a way to reward your good behavior.

you’ve never seen a person’s excitement disappear so quickly.

will be getting around to other asks/suggestions soon enough! hope you guys don't mind waiting :) i'm a slow writer unfortunately.

Mafia boss venti is so great! I don't think people explore his yandere potential when (imo) he is at least a little suspicious in game.

he definitely is sus in-game, i agree. especially when he keeps trying to avoid our questions and never gives us anything important 😒i just know venti's next big part in the plot is going to be some sort of lore dump, the little gremlin.

also, in terms of yandere potential, hmm. i have a lot of thoughts on this, especially when i started out writing him. for me, it's a little hard to not go ooc sometimes when writing him in a darker aspect, while still trying to keep to canon characterization, what with the whole archon of freedom and all that. it feels like the antithesis of I usually write yanderes as, with that little possessive edge.

also, venti in general just has,,, how shall we say, commitment problems in staying in one place for long—but i remember in the newest web event, it said 'even the wind has something it's attached to' which reminded me of venti. we also see in the webtoon that he was there to help venessa, and doing his archon duties (somewhat) to help the situation in mondstadt. the trailer said: "what does freedom really mean when demanded of you by a god?" which made me think a lot about venti being reluctant to get people to do anything (e.g. the whole sleeping thing too), but on the other hand, he's also lost so much, so maybe he's become more protective. can definitely see him losing sight of his goal, on account of the power he holds. never to the extent of morax or baal, but no archon is completely free from it.

in essence, it's complicated😂. he's a difficult character to figure out, is my overall opinion. but i definitely see him as a yandere with a lot of guilt attached, whenever he does try something he knows he shouldn't do. protective type too, but doing things behind your back kind of protective. trying to give you the illusion of freedom, hoping that if the cage bars are far enough, you won't see them.

(okay, but mafia boss venti on the hand, is just unapologetically a gremlin. so there's that to him haha.)

[sparrow-stunned]

your mafia boss venti fic was so good!!! I was wondering if you were gonna make a continuation of it? like venti reveals that he knows his darlings secret, and how he would react to them trying to escape after they’ve realized they fucked up and need to get away 💖💖💖

i was definitely thinking of a continuation! it was gonna have some not sfw content tho haha, though i don't know if people want that (or if i have to energy to write it), so we'll have to wait and see.

funny enough that you sent this in though because it was along the lines of what i was thinking—maybe not part 2, but after that. a natural linear progression toward that, if you will. thank you for reading, i'm really happy you enjoyed it!

[sparrow-stunned]

I would sell every organ in my body for a part 2 of mafia venti. What organ do you want first

please anon, you're so funny i'm cracking up 😂 i didn't expect it to have so much engagement considering i typed it up at like 5AM in the morning, but i'm planning on writing another one, don't worry! it'll take me a bit since i'm going to be busy with work and preparing school for a while, but it will be done.

(also, i'll take the left kidney first. i'm generous like that)

[sparrow-stunned]

I think headcanons are pretty cool!! I'd love to see more content from you no matter in what format they are (like they could be short thirsts, ideas, little scenarios, drabbles etc. All is good!)

ah, good to know! i said this in the reply to someone, but i'm not used to running a writing blog on tumblr🥲only used to the ao3 system, which is just fics haha. it's kind of fun having a place to just dump whatever i feel like! less chances of burnout that way hehe. thank you all so much for being so supportive

[sparrow-stunned]

anyone have thoughts on the sumeru characters, I don't know them very well so I'm slightly afraid to write for them

[sparrow-stunned]

*cough* feel like all I'd write for tighnari is related to petting his ears somehow

[sparrow-stunned]

[sparrow-stunned]

the violent urge to flick Tighnari's ears

[sparrow-stunned]

do people mind if I don't really post fics with proper prose, but instead more things like just headcanons? for e.g. the stuff I've written recently with venti/kazuha. it's a lot less tiring to think about proper structure lol

[sparrow-stunned]

also, reached 1.5k followers... should i try my hand at an event again

[sparrow-stunned]

okay random thought but: spy x family setting (spy/assassin couple), but with childe being a malewife who cooks and tidies and cleans—but it's also made him extremely good at scrubbing out blood.

because while he tries his best to keep his clothes clean on the days that he has to carry out certain assassinations, sometimes things get a little... messy.

(spy darling who doesn't realize that your husband has been the one making you missions smoother, so that you can come home quicker and spend more time with him instead.)

[sparrow-stunned]

managed to get one ask done at least... somehow ballooned outside of my control though yikes
