Warning(s): implied toxic friendship, cult behaviour

------------------------------

As much as he hated to say it, Wanderer had to admit that he simply enjoyed it when he became your vessel. He loved the feeling of your warm gaze upon him, the sound of your voice as you hummed or sang, the way you'd give him and his team members your undivided attention when you played the game.

Today was no different. He hurled Anemo energy at his opponents, smiling smugly to himself when he defeated the final one.

"Don't be so smug about it," Faruzan snapped at him. "It's not like you'd be able to defeat them so quickly if we hadn't been providing support."

"And did I ask for your help?" he asked. "Their Grace was the one who chose this team. They should've just put me on the team, and me only. Then I wouldn't need to save the three of you all the time. And," he added with a grin, "I would be able to show them just how powerful I am, even without any help."

Bennett, sweating nervously, turned to look at the Geo Archon. The man just sighed and looked away from the Anemo vision holders, motioning for Bennett to step away from them. Perhaps he's worried that they'd start fighting again? Bennett wondered, but obeyed nevertheless.

Zhongli and Bennett said nothing as they picked up materials. They could hear your voice - you were humming as usual, sometimes singing softly. You started to sing a short but soothing song repeatedly - something about going on a journey - and despite not knowing its title, they enjoyed it all the same, successfully tuning out the bickering of their team members (or maybe the reason they no longer heard them was because they had stopped to listen to your voice).

But then they heard the creak of a door being opened, and you stopped singing.

------------------------------

You turned to your right just in time to see someone open the door and step into your room. Ah, it's them. You let out a barely audible sigh. You should've expected it - there were no knocks, it could only be them.

"What's the matter?" you asked as your friend walked towards you.

"I want to go for a walk and get some ice cream," they said. "Can you come with me?"

Your gaze flickered towards the screen of your device for a brief moment. "Sorry, I don't plan on going outdoors right now. I'm a little tired."

"How about later?" they pressed. "Or tomorrow?"

"I..." you hesitated. You really didn't want to go with them.

Right at that moment, a voice interrupted your conversation. "Huh. How irritating."

------------------------------

"Wanderer! You're not supposed to say that! There's no rain at all, let alone thunder!" Faruzan scolded.

"I'm just telling the truth," Wanderer said, shrugging. "They are irritating."

Zhongli tilted his head backwards to look at the sky. "Though we lack a screen to see Their Grace's face, I can tell from their voice that they're uncomfortable."

"Why won't that person leave Their Grace alone, then..." mumbled Bennett.

"Who knows? All I know is that they're so ignorant, they can't even tell when someone simply doesn't want to spend time with them, be it right now or in the future." Wanderer muttered, looking at the sky as well.

------------------------------

"Uhhh... What was that?" Your friend looked puzzled upon hearing the new voice in the room.

"Oh, that's just the voiceline of the character in the game," you said, gesturing at your screen. "The characters have idle animations and voicelines."

"Okay...so...can you go with me later?"

Why can't they understand that you didn't want to spend time with them? You mustered the courage to refuse and opened your mouth. But before you could say a word, there was that voice again.

"Ignorant idiot."

"Take a hint."

"Leave this room right now."

"Please leave Their Grace alone!"

You stared at the screen in shock. You were pretty sure that you've already heard all of Wanderer's voicelines by now, and that certainly wasn't one of them.

"What's wrong?" Your friend asked.

"Oh... Nothing! It seems like there's a problem with my device, I have to fix it right now, sorry!" you said quickly.

Your friend sighed. "Okay... But we'll go together in the future, right? You have to go with me during the holidays! "

You nodded with a strained smile, and your friend left.

You opened the Character screen and scrolled through Wanderer's voicelines. There was not a single voiceline where he'd mention "Ignorant idiot."

As expected.

There wasn't.

Maybe you had misheard him.

Or maybe you hadn't...

Pet! SAHSRAU (Part 1) Sketch

I finally had enough motivation to complete this sketch - (created on August 5 last year)

Pet! SAHSRAU Astral Express Crew!

Read the original post here!

I don't draw animals often so - I'm sorry if they look weird - 🥹

Mother figures...

Fandoms: Genshin, HSR

Notes: child! / teen! reader, headcanons, self-indulgent

------------------------------

She gives you all of the necessary reassurance that you need.

She congratulates you every time you succeed in doing something, no matter its difficulty.

She holds you close to her when you're sobbing your heart out.

If you want to be left alone for a while, she'll leave but returns when you feel better, with your favourite snack in hand.

She gives you ideas on what to do when you're feeling troubled, but you'll have to make your own decisions. That's a crucial part of growing up, she says.

I wonder about pet SAHSR what about Aeons as a pet if you okay with doing it if not you can ignore this request

Ooh I've never thought of this idea before!!

There will be a part 2 for this -

Pet! SAHSRAU (Part 4)

Warnings: cult behaviour, possible spoilers for Aeons' stories, mention of death (Akivili)

Notes: characters turn into animals, highly possible out-of-character, they/them pronouns for all Aeons, Sunny has very little understanding of the Aeons' backstories 🥹

------------------------------

Golden Retriever! Akivili who's extremely curious. They used to explore the universe with their followers before their death, but now that they have been granted a second chance to live, they want to explore this world with you! Akivili acts quite friendly towards humans, especially children - you've never seen them bark at or bite anyone. Akivili loves car rides as it is the closest experience they have compared to rides on the Astral Express. Each time you say something along the line of "Let's go on a car trip", Akivili immediately stands up straight (if they had been lying down), tail wagging furiously in joy.

Norwegian Forest Cat! Nanook who just...destroys your home. They're the Aeon of Destruction, after all. Nothing is safe from Nanook's teeth or claws: they'll chew or scratch on almost everything. Keep your important documents or trinkets in cupboards, plastic boxes, drawers - basically anywhere that Nanook can't reach easily - lest they turn into pieces the next day. But exclude their destructive behaviour, and you'll find that Nanook is actually not much different from the other pets. Though they may seem a little tsundere (just like Pom-Pom) and pretend that they don't like cuddles, Nanook still constantly seeks recognition from you. They want to know if you think that they're the best pet you've ever had.

Greyhound! Lan who still has their hunting instincts. The "prey" / gifts that they bring to you are quite...unusual. You've received pebbles, wild fruit, branches, leaves and whatnot ever since Lan came to your home. Those were the "normal" gifts. Sometimes Lan brings home clothes from your neighbours' clotheslines and pieces of cardboard (you don't even know where they found them). You scold them every time they bring your neighbours' clothes to you, telling them you're lucky that your neighbours don't start a fight with you due to said problem. Eventually Lan stops giving you anything except for pebbles, as you always give them a pat on the head when you receive pebbles and polish each one properly before keeping them.

Himalayan cat! Yaoshi who still doesn't get along with Lan. They often get into fights with each other. These fights could end in two different ways: Either Lan would win and Yaoshi is forced to leap into your arms to avoid getting bitten, or Yaoshi wins and chases Lan all over the place till they hide behind you so that they wouldn't suffer from another swipe of Yaoshi's claws. You immediately decided that their living areas had to be separated once you realised that their peaceful relationship / play-fighting was a mere facade, as Lan and Yaoshi try - well, used to try - their best to tolerate the other when they were in the same room with you. But when Yaoshi is alone with you, they're quite gentle and often demands attention. They love it when you stroke their fur and sing them to sleep each night.

[sunny-fox]

About the Pet! SAHSRAU...

I've been thinking about this for quite some time now:

So...Stelle and Caelus are raccoons in this AU

Raccoons can be kept as pets, but that's only legal in a few places (and the owner must have a license to do so). It's illegal to keep them as pets in most countries

And I don't want to encourage people to keep them even if it's legal, raccoons are wild animals after all

The same situation goes for characters that I haven't written for yet, but was planning to write for as wild animals that can legally be kept as pets only in certain countries

Do you think that each and every character that I write for should be commonly legal pets such as dogs, cats etc? Or is it okay to keep my original plan (characters as rare but legal pets)?

[sunny-fox]

I started playing Honkai Impact 3rd recently

A week or two ago I told my little sibling that my favourite character is Fu Hua, that was 5 minutes before I did a 10-pull on the starters' banner

And

I actually got Fu Hua - oh my gosh -

Is my HI3 self aware

Would anyone like some self aware HI3 drabbles

I've been wanting to write this for a while now -

God! Reader who stims + Headcanons

Notes: implied neurodivergent reader & characters, self-indulgent, includes personal headcanons

------------------------------

Candace sat on your bed, legs dangling over the edge. She had turned to her left to face you - you lay on your side, huddled underneath your blanket and cuddling a pillow. The two of you chatted idly, till you blinked sleepily and yawned, rubbing at your eye.

"Are you going to sleep now, Your Grace?" Candace asked softly.

You nodded, grabbing your blanket and pulling it up to your nose. You breathed in deeply, rubbing the fabric between your fingers as you did so.

You noticed Candace looking at you curiously. "Don't mind me...I'm just stimming," you mumbled, rubbing the blanket against your nose.

The look on Candace's face turned into one of realisation. She nodded in response and ran her fingers through your hair gently. "Sweet dreams, Your Grace," she whispered.

You hummed quietly and continued to breathe in the scent of your blanket.

Candace left your room after giving you one last pat on the head.

----------

You were walking in the streets of Fontaine, with Navia keeping you company. Glancing at the various shops and wares available, you hummed any song that you could think of every time your eyes settled on something new that reminded you of them.

A few minutes later, you looked to your side and saw Navia staring at you with a soft gaze and a smile (she probably had been doing so for at least ten minutes). You froze momentarily, and your humming halted as well.

"Is everything alright, Your Grace?" Navia asked.

"Everything's okay, but why were you staring at me?" You asked. "If it's because of my humming, then... I'm sorry. I'll stop."

"That's because I love to hear you hum!" Navia replied. "It's okay, you can continue humming. It's not annoying at all. It's really nice."

You grinned at Navia gratefully before continuing to hum. You noticed that Navia bobbed her head occasionally or matched the clicks of her boots as she walked according to your hums.

----------

You were hanging out with Heizou for today, and the both of you decided to have lunch at Uyuu Restaurant.

While he was waiting for the food to be served, Heizou heard some soft clicks. He looked at you and saw you resting your hands against the edge of the table. You were picking at your fingernails and the skin of your fingers.

"Your Grace." Heizou's voice caught your attention. You looked up and saw him staring into your eyes. "Please stop doing that."

"Oh - I'm sorry!" You quickly put your hands on your knees, gripping them so that you wouldn't pick at your fingers. "Those clicks sound annoying; I know. I'm really sorry."

"No, that's not the problem," Heizou said, leaning forward slightly. "The problem is, it's bad for you. I understand that you're just stimming, but that's an unhealthy stim." He stood from his original seat and moved around the table to sit next to you, reaching out with one hand, palm facing upward. "May I please have a look at your hand?"

Reluctantly, you placed your hand in his, showing him your uneven nails. Heizou sighed and rubbed his thumb against them.

"There's nothing wrong with stimming, Your Grace, but please don't hurt yourself while you stim," he said. "Here, you can play with this." He undid the black pom-pom attached to his clothing and pressed it onto your palm.

----------

Headcanons:

Kaeya whistles to stim. Please teach him all of the songs you know; in return, he'll teach you all of the Teyvat songs he knows. He wants to whistle along with your songs while you hum.

Klee has a comfort blanket that she cuddles to sleep every night. She's so happy to know that you have the same way of stimming as her! She's heard a lot of adults saying things like "kids should outgrow their habit of having comfort blankets when they grow up", so please assure her that it's not true.

Shenhe rubs her sleeves when she's stressed or nervous. You'll see her doing so when she's in a crowd, or before she wants to talk to you. Just like Klee, she needs assurance that stimming isn't bad, as some people still give her weird looks when she does so.

Beidou whistles to stim as well. Unlike Kaeya, she doesn't whistle when you hum. She likes to imitate the calls of all kinds of birds. Sometimes a bird or two will swoop down from the air to land on her shoulder or hand after hearing her whistles.

Yuegui is Yaoyao's stim toy. She always holds it in her arms so that she can give it a squeeze now and then, or breathe in the smell of osmanthus flowers on it. Yuegui makes her feel safe - it was originally made by Cloud Retainer to protect her, after all.

Sara likes to run her fingers through her feathers. She just materialises her wings and brushes them with her hand, albeit only when there's very few people around. When she's in public, she chews on the inside of her mouth.

Kirara waves her tails back and forth. Some people tell her to stop because they keep seeing something (her tails) swishing in their peripheral vision when she stims - they say that it's annoying. Please tell them off, pat Kirara on the head and tell her that it's okay to stim.

Collei fiddles with the tassels of her shawl while patrolling or learning new words. When she's at home, where she doesn't have to be cautious all the time, Cuilen-Anbar is her comfort "blanket". (Inspired by that one cutscene where Collei cuddles Cuilen-Anbar while sleeping)

Wanderer may not admit it, but he stims too! He used to fiddle with his vision only when he's 100% sure there's no one around. Similar to Sara, his stimming behaviour was very subtle in public - he rubbed his fingers against his sleeves whenever he crossed his arms over his chest. He's actually quite relieved when you tell him that stimming in front of others is totally fine.

Lynette stims by playing with her ponytail. She does it every time before a performance. Sometimes she twists her ponytail, sometimes she runs her fingers through it, sometimes she curls a strand of it around her finger. Occasionally, Lyney has to help her undo the knots in her hair 5 minutes before he has to go on stage.

------------------------------

I love my stim toys hehe

It's okay for anyone to stim as long as you don't hurt anyone, including yourself!

[sunny-fox]

Trial exams are gonna start soon so I may or may not be active for a few weeks. Anyways these exams remind me of that one night before similar exams a few years ago - I got frightened because I woke up and heard my father yelling at my little sibling, so here's a fic inspired (?) by that

This will be quite similar to my SAGAU "Comfort" fic

----------

Reader's pronouns: they/them

Warnings: implied anxiety / panic attack, cult behaviour

Notes:

1) SAHSR cult AU

2) The Astral Express has a carriage that's used for "connecting" to the reader's world, everyone including the Stellaron Hunters are allowed to enter it as long as they don't start fights in there

------------------------------

Himeko let out a breathy giggle as she watched you sleep.

"Just a few minutes...I'll be back soon..." you had mumbled before falling asleep on your bed with your device still running.

That happened around 2 hours ago.

The red-haired woman sipped at her coffee, sitting on a cushioned chair with a novel on her lap. She would gladly wait till you woke up. For now, she was content with watching over you.

"As much as I want to be able to see Their Grace, it's bad for them if they leave their device on near themselves while sleeping," Natasha said, approaching Himeko and standing behind her.

"I'll see if I can tell them not to do that anymore." Himeko smiled at the doctor.

"They're stirring," Dan Heng reported, gesturing at the hologram. Your brow was scrunched up slightly, and you shifted your grip on your blanket. Faint noises they couldn't place could be heard as your eyes fluttered open and glanced at your device.

"Oh," you said. "Did I make you wait - "

Your sentence was cut off abruptly as a loud yell pierced through the nearly silent carriage. The younger acolytes quickly covered their ears at the sudden noise while the older ones winced.

Apparently you weren't the one who had yelled, as they saw your eyes widen - in shock, fear, some emotion they couldn't describe. You bit down on your lip, pulling your blanket over your head. Your fingers dug into your pillow as you hugged it close and buried your face in it. Himeko swore she saw you quiver ever so slightly. They couldn't see your face, but they could hear your breaths starting to quicken.

"Your Grace?" Jing Yuan stepped closer to the hologram, voicing his concern. You didn't seem to hear him. The glow of your device reflected off something shiny at the corners of your eyes - you were crying.

"Let me try!" With a wave of her hand, Silver Wolf summoned a digital screen and began to type on it rapidly. Crackles of static rang out in tandem with your breaths. After a few minutes, Silver Wolf finally stopped and nodded her head.

"We can talk to them now."

----------

You squeezed your eyes shut, feeling tears escaping them and trickling down your cheeks, dampening your pillowcase. A crackle of static caught your attention - was it from your device? Or was it your imagination? But then you heard a familiar voice say,

"We can talk to them now."

You lifted your tear-stained face and propped yourself up on your elbows to look at said device. You saw Jing Yuan, Himeko and Silver Wolf staring back at you. Several other characters could be seen in the background, including Dan Heng, Natasha, Bailu and Serval.

"Jing...Yuan...?" You choked out a sob.

"Yes, Your Grace, it's me," he said. "Do you want to talk?"

Your hands shot to your ears to block out another yell. The closed door still wasn't enough. A hurt look flashed across Jing Yuan's face - he'd probably assumed that you didn't want to hear his voice right now - before turning into realisation.

"Sorry," you apologised.

"It's alright, Your Grace," he replied. "I understand. Your comfort is most important."

"Your Grace." Natasha showed up on the screen. "Breathe according to my voice, okay? One, two, three..."

You forced yourself to breathe in deeply, then exhale slowly. A few more tries and you could feel that you were calming down.

"Thank you...Natasha..." you managed to say. Now that your breaths had become even, the tears you were trying your best to hold back flooded your eyes.

"You can cry, Your Grace," Bailu said. The camera had tilted downwards to show the Vidyadhara healer. "You can cry for as long as you like."

You buried your face in your pillow once more, sobbing quietly into it. Jing Yuan and the others said nothing, just watched silently as you cried your heart out. After what felt like half an hour, you raised your head to look at your device.

"Sorry," you said, biting back a sob.

"You don't have to apologise, Your Grace," Dan Heng insisted. "Besides, there's nothing to apologise for. Are you feeling better now?"

You nodded in response, slumping onto your bed to lie on your back. Now that your tears had finally run dry, fatigue started to creep into your mind. You yawned and rubbed a hand across your face.

"Are you feeling sleepy, Your Grace?" This voice was unmistakably Serval's. You nodded again, too tired to reply verbally. You device emitted the soft, soothing tune of a lullaby as Serval hummed gently.

Before you slipped into unconsciousness, you heard one last sentence from your device.

"Sweet dreams, Your Grace."

----------

Everything seemed so surreal the next morning.

You logged into the game, but couldn't find any place on the Astral Express or the planets that looked like the background shown last night.

All of the characters were still in their original spots, and as usual, they would only face the model of your vessel character when approached - never the screen.

You had assumed that it was all a dream.

But it wasn't.

Give us a little more time, Your Grace, and we'll bring you to our world, away from that thing (or anything else) which caused you pain.

------------------------------

I've only ever gone through this once so I don't know if it even is considered a panic / anxiety attack ;^^ I've checked the symptoms of both online and some of mine are similar to them but I'm still not sure, hence the "implied" in the warning.

Hi plz make more of the pet au with Astral express and kafka

(*ˊᗜˋ*)ᵗᑋᵃᐢᵏ ᵞᵒᵘ

Sure! Here you go ^^

Notes: characters turn into animals, possible out-of-character

------------------------------

You heard low growls and hisses even before you had reached the room. You twisted the doorknob and threw the door open, hoping that you were just in time to stop their fight.

"Himeko! Kafka!" You called out chidingly.

Sure enough, the red Maine Coon and plum-coloured Borzoi were glaring at each other in the eyes. Himeko's back was arched, fur standing up on end; Kafka had crouched slightly, ready to spring forward.

Welt stood behind Himeko, baring his teeth, backing her up. Apparently the growls you heard weren't just from Kafka.

"Welt...not you too..." you groaned. You had always thought of the Bernese Mountain Dog as the peacemaker. That thought was definitely going to be out of the window the next time it comes to conflict between his "family" and Kafka (probably her "family" as well).

Behind Welt, Caelus was grooming his tail, letting out whimpers that sounded like a child's sniffles. Stelle rested one paw between his ears, as if comforting him. March nuzzled against Caelus' head. Dan Heng sat right next to Stelle, silent but glaring in the direction of the upcoming fight.

"Come on, Kafka," you say, patting her back. "You aren't supposed to be in here." You knew that Kafka's family did not get along well with Himeko's (except for the twins), so you often made sure that the two families stayed in separate spaces/rooms.

Problem was, Kafka had somehow learned how to open doors, which meant that she could go look for the raccoon twins whenever she wanted to.

Kafka whined, straightening her legs and turning to look at you. You sighed, knowing that she wanted to spend time with Stelle and Caelus. You knelt down in front of Himeko and ruffled her fur.

"I'll take Stelle and Caelus with me, okay? Let them play with Kafka for a while," you told her. Himeko stared at you blankly. You could tell that she wasn't happy about your suggestion.

"Don't worry, I'll bring them back to you afterwards." You gave her a final pat on the head. Welt approached you and let out a bark of protest. You patted his head as well.

"Stelle, Caelus," you called out. The twins looked up and scurried towards you, placing their front paws on your knees. You scooped them into your arms, where they curled up against each other comfortably.

"Just a few hours," you promised Welt and Himeko. You looked at the little Cocker Spaniel and Siberian cat, both of whom had come to stand next to Himeko and Welt respectively. "I'll play with you later, okay?"

Himeko meowed and walked towards her bed. She hopped onto it and lay on her stomach like a loaf of bread, her tail thumping against the cushion. The others followed suit, returning to their beds and lying down.

You smiled at them before walking out of the room and closing the door, with Kafka by your side. The next room emitted impatient scratching noises. You pushed the door open slowly to avoid startling the rest of Kafka's family.

Through the crack between the door and its frame, you saw a Russian Blue sitting in front of a large German Shepherd. Both of them had their paws on the door, which explained the scratching noises.

Silver Wolf immediately squirmed through the crack and meowed loudly at you. You made sure Blade had moved away from the door, then opened it fully. Barely had you sat down did Kafka pick up Stelle by the scruff and place her in front of Blade.

You set Caelus down on his feet. Kafka immediately licked the top of his head in a motherly way. Blade seemed to be doing the same to Stelle, in the identical parent-like manner (Kafka had probably taught him how to do that). Silver Wolf circled around the group, purring and nuzzling against the twins occasionally. Her actions reminded you of Dan Heng and March - a self-proclaimed older sibling of the little raccoons.

A nudge at your shoulder snapped you out of your thoughts. You turned and saw Kafka wagging her tail, significantly happy that you had managed to convince Welt and Himeko to let her play with Stelle and Caelus.

"Alright, I have to go now," you told her. "I promised Himeko that I'll play with them."

----------

Context:

Kafka tried to "steal" Stelle from the Astral Express Crew while they were sleeping and cuddling together. She had almost succeeded, but then she stepped on Caelus' tail by accident. That's why he was grooming his tail and sniffling. He yelped in pain and the Astral Express Crew woke up. Oh boy were they furious at Kafka (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

Pet! SAHSRAU (part 3)

Reader's pronouns: -

Warnings: possible out-of-character, mentions of blood & amputation (Herta)

Notes: reverse isekai, characters turn into animals, Herta Space Station Crew

------------------------------

Rough Collie! Asta who is energetic...at night. She loves sitting by windows / glass doors and staring at the starry night sky. Sometimes she holds your hand gently between her teeth and drags you along to watch the stars with her at midnight. Asta nudges you when you start to fall asleep - she doesn't want you to miss out on the beauty of the stars. Welt or Himeko will come chide her gently for making you stay up late, then lead you back to your room. Asta will follow them reluctantly and curl up next to your bed, wishing you a silent goodnight before falling asleep.

Birman! Herta who has prosthetic limbs. You found her by the road two streets away from your home, legs bloodied, barely conscious. You figured that she might've gotten hit by a car. The vet told you that they had to amputate her legs as her wounds were badly infected. Herta still remembers the devastated look on your face when you pressed your hand against the glass of her cage at the hospital, glancing at her paw-less limbs with tears trickling down your cheeks; the relief when you finally saw her walking steadily with prosthetics, crying tears of joy this time. Though she isn't as agile as the other cats due to her prosthetics, Herta uses them to her advantage - she meows at you when she wants to get onto tables or couches, and you'll pick her up to put her on them. Herta just can't resist giving the others a smug look when you cradle her in your arms.

Sable ferret! Arlan who guards you from pest insects. You see him swatting at mosquitoes with his front paws or chasing after spiders nearly every day. Arlan doesn't listen when you tell him that you can deal with them yourself - he believes that he has to protect you. Only when you held him up so you were face-to-face with him and repeated yourself did he listen...partially. Two weeks later he actually forgets what you had said and continues to catch the bugs. Arlan likes to dig holes in your garden and dirty his fur. You scold him as you wipe him clean (ferrets can't bathe too often), but maybe, just maybe, you'll notice that he's enjoying your attention and the soft tone you're using.

------------------------------

Forgot to mention this in the previous parts but somehow reader is unaware that they are all those characters from HSR they love (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

Jarilo-VI characters are next!

[sunny-fox]

Pet! SAHSRAU (part 2)

Reader's pronouns: -

Warnings: implied cult behaviour (?), possible out-of-character

Notes: reverse isekai, characters turn into animals, Stellaron Hunters

------------------------------

Borzoi! Kafka who likes to annoy any other pet that's not in her "family", especially Welt and Himeko. She doesn't provoke anyone when you're around, but once you're outdoors she "accidentally" bumps against Himeko or "unintentionally" upsets Welt's water bowl (you knew that she was behind all of that anyway). Kafka seems to have a particular fondness for Caelus and Stelle. The way she stops bothering Himeko when Caelus wants to play with her, or the soft look in her eyes when Stelle squeezes herself in between her and Welt to stop them from starting a fight. Sometimes Kafka tries to steal the twins away when they're cuddling and napping with their "family", but has never succeeded...yet. The twins' "family" is not happy when they wake up to the sight of Kafka picking up one of the twins by the scruff and taking them away. Kafka will then come to you for help, circling you and looking at the raccoon twins. She knows that you'll find a way to bring the twins to her.

Russian Blue! Silver Wolf who loves your electronic gadgets. She's exactly the type of cat that insists on sitting upon the keyboard of your computer or laptop. Countless times you had to remove her from your room forcefully so you could study/work properly. She'll yowl, pace, try to open the door or squeeze through the crack between the floor and the door, but nothing works. Expect an angry Silver Wolf sitting on her spot in the cat tree, glaring at you silently for the rest of the day unless you give her headpats and cuddles (treats won't work either). Silver Wolf definitely competes with March 7th as to which "family" gains more attention than the other. Blade and Welt will collect Silver Wolf and March respectively from your sides if the look on your face tells them that they're being too noisy, what with Silver Wolf's constant hissing and March's sharp barks.

German Shepherd! Blade who competes with the other pets for your attention, but only secretly. While the others are busy fighting over who gets to sit next to you on the couch, he'll sense that you had a bad day the minute you return home. The sad look in your eyes and your slumped posture basically said it all. Blade will follow you to your room and wait by the door to see if you wanted his company. He decides that you do when you start rubbing at your tear-filled eyes. Blade will sit by your side and nuzzle against your arm till you look at him, and you swear there's a softness in his eyes, so sudden and rare, that just makes you feel much better. You sigh and hug him, he acts indifferent but deep inside he enjoys your embrace. Blade will starting growling at any other pet who dares interrupt his time with you, even if they're just passing by the room.

Wrote this in a hurry, hopefully this was okay -

The Herta Space Station Crew is next!

[sunny-fox]

Random thought from yesterday:

Pet! SAHSR (Self Aware Honkai Star Rail) AU

Notes: reverse isekai, characters turn into animals, Astral Express Crew, Caelus and Stelle are twins, kind of Cult! AU?

------------------------------

Dutch Rabbit! Pom Pom who pretends that they don't like being petted. They don't look at you when you pet them, opting to stare at random things around them, but they move towards you slowly and secretly, a few steps at a time. They nuzzle into your palm but pretend that they didn't afterwards by ignoring you multiple times when you call their name. Pom Pom does try to nip at your fingers if you ruffle their fur too often, thinking that you're trying to mess up their soft fur. If Pom Pom is feeling particularly friendly on some days, they might even let you hold them for hours (they usually lie still in your arms for about 5 minutes before squirming to get away). March will start complaining and pawing at your arm though, as it's her spot on other days.

Cocker Spaniel! March 7th who loves following you around your house. She's quite energetic, often bringing her toys to you, pleading for you to play with her through her gaze. You do play with her, but it's impossible to do so every 10 minutes, what with your work and everyday duties. March gets bored when you can't play with her, lying on the floor and looking here and there for something else to play with (that isn't her toys). Don't be surprised when you return to the living room and find your bags turned inside out, belongings undamaged but strewn across the floor, Himeko picking them up and piling them together for you. March wants you to think of it as revenge for not playing with her (>:3).

Siberian cat! Dan Heng who prefers resting on cat trees than interacting with the others. He'll swipe a paw at anyone (except you) who dares invade his personal space, though he acts more lenient towards the other pets. He watches you from his special spot on the cat tree every time you walk around the house doing chores or just going from one room to another. Sometimes Dan Heng does follow you just like March, but if you tell him that he's practically tripping you every step you take, he quietly leaves and goes back to his spot. If March is following you as well, Dan Heng will paw at her back, telling her to follow him to the living room. He'll ask for help from Welt if she doesn't listen.

Maine Coon! Himeko who's just like the mom of the group. She's mostly calm, but will gently nip at the younger pets' ears or swipe a paw at them - claws retracted, of course - if they misbehave. Himeko likes it when you brush her fur. Eight to nine out of ten times she falls asleep when you do so. She has to have her fur brushed weekly if not daily - she'll bring her comb to you and purr to let you know. Himeko will curl up next to you if you let her sleep on your bed, guarding you throughout the night, nuzzling against you when you wake up screaming (or not) from nightmares.

Bernese Mountain Dog! Welt who's really calm and quiet. He rests his snout on the edge of your bed each morning so the first thing you see when you wake is a pair of honey-coloured eyes staring right back at you. Please pat his snout as a good morning; he'll feel so happy if you do! As mentioned above, Dan Heng asks Welt for help when March insists on running in circles around you: he picks her up by the scruff and takes her away. Welt likes to accompany you on walks at night, treasuring the precious time he gets to spend with you. There's this one time when you took a photo with Welt and put a pair of toy glasses on his snout. He seemed to love those glasses a lot after that.

Raccoons! Caelus and Stelle who are disappointed that they can't go dumpster diving in your house. You can't have garbage strewn around your house, after all. You caught them red-handed during their first few attempts after arriving at your house. When you leave your house, they'll try to dig through the trash cans again. March and Dan Heng try to stop them, with March tugging on Stelle's tail with her mouth and Dan Heng standing on his hind legs, trying to pry Caelus off the can. Eventually you prepared a huge box for the troublemaker twins and hid new toys or snacks in it, underneath old clothes and colourful, hollow plastic balls. That seemed to satisfy their interest in dumpster diving, albeit briefly. Caelus and Stelle still try to climb into trash cans whenever they go on walks with you.

Even though Pom Pom was a rabbit, Dan Heng and Himeko were cats, Welt and March were dogs, and Caelus as well as Stelle were raccoons, they often stuck together like a family. Pom Pom likes to make Welt's back their personal couch. Welt won't move at all unless you pick up Pom Pom or Pom Pom climbs off his back. Himeko plays with March to distract her from turning your house upside down when you're busy. Caelus, Stelle and Dan Heng lie in a cuddle pile during naps. Sometimes March, Himeko, Welt and Pom Pom join them too. You're quite puzzled as to why they love each other dearly, but hey, it's nice to see them acting like family, no?

Dreamland

SAGAU (Cult AU) animal-hybrid characters resting with God! reader

Reader's pronouns: they/them

Warnings: cult behaviour

Notes: Sucrose - fox, Gorou - Akita Inu, Yanfei - deer

------------------------------

You lay down on top of Ganyu's back, curled up on your side comfortably. The half-adeptus was currently in her Qilin form, lying on her stomach in the highlands of Jueyun Karst, her fluffy blue fur a perfect bed for you to lie down on. Ganyu lay still, nodding off in the warm afternoon sun.

Diona, in her tiny calico kitten form, pawed at your hair, playing with the strands till twin-tailed Kirara laid a paw on the kitten's back, telling her to lie down and sleep. They leaned against the top of your head, with Diona snuggling against Kirara.

Two small, large-eared foxes lay not far from your face. Miko nuzzled against your hand till you ran your fingers through her pink fur briefly. Tighnari yawned, stretching contentedly before curling up once more, pawing at your fingers.

A little green fox snuggled against your abdomen, enjoying the sound of your peaceful breathing as you basked in the sunlight. You patted Sucrose on the head, grinning when you felt her ears flick in response.

Gorou lay down with his back against yours, falling asleep soon after - he was tired out from completing all his duties quickly so he could spend more time with you. Yanfei rested her snout on your shoulder, blinking her sleepy eyes as she watched Sara perch on your knee, fluffing out her black feathers and tucking her beak underneath a wing to keep the sun out of her eyes.

Before long, everyone had fallen asleep, soft snores mixed with even breathing as they drifted off to dreamland. A certain brown-and-gold dragon watched from the top of the mountain, making a mental note to join nap times like these in the future.

"Sweet dreams, Your Grace," he said.

Quick question before I forget again:

------------------------------

“Your Grace...” you said, feeling your cheeks burn as you looked at them.

---

You felt your cheeks burn as you read it.

------------------------------

These sentences are excerpted from one of my previous works.

I was trying to describe blushing in a POC-friendly way.

Back then I felt like this was the most suitable way to describe it.

Now I'm not really sure if it's POC-friendly, can anyone please tell me if it is / isn't? If it isn't, do tell me in the comments.

Some joke (?) that my CN teacher put in our test papers yesterday

(It was actually a Guess The Idiom game for extra points)

牙医牙痛 --- 无法自拔

(Why do I feel like this is something Cyno would say - )

For context:

牙医 -- dentist

牙痛 -- toothache

无法 -- unable to

自 -- oneself (自己)

拔 -- pull out (roughly)

(无法自拔 actually means "to be addicted" btw)

The joke: 牙医 (the dentist) 牙痛 (has a toothache) -- 无法 (but they are unable to) 自拔 (pull their tooth out on their own (despite being a dentist themselves)

"I have to head back to the harbor, Y/N," Ganyu said, swallowing the last petal of her Qingxin. "Are you sure that you don't want to go there?"

You shook your head adamantly. The half-Qilin nodded in understanding, bid you farewell and left quickly. You waved at her till she was out of sight, then turned and started to climb the mountain behind you.

Halfway to the peak, you saw a little girl climbing up the steep mountain as well. She had a basket filled with herbs on her back, and her movements were slow and a little unsteady. You watched her for a while, deciding to follow her in case she needed help.

Hand over hand, foot over foot, the both of you moved slowly. Your fingers ached from grabbing onto barely visible ledges in the rock to pull yourself upward. The girl didn't seem to be aware of your presence as she mumbled, "One, two...one, two..."

The girl reached for a herb with violet flowers to her right. It was just out of reach. She moved her right foot to the side, then her left. She reached out again, grabbing the stalk of the herb.

Her foot slipped.

Your body reacted before your mind did.

You lunged to your side desperately.

Now you were the girl, she was the herb in her grasp.

You managed to catch the girl in one arm and grab onto a wider ledge nearby, but you could feel your hurting fingers throbbing, protesting the heavy weight of two.

Just like what you had expected, your fingers gave way.

All hope severed - you knew what would happen next.

Sighing in relief, you held the girl tightly, tucking her into your arms as your braced yourself for the impact.

The fall seemed to take all eternity as the beautiful scenery flashed by your eyes. The blue gadget that glittered in the sun had you mesmerised, making you forget your certain demise for an instant.

But as soon as it had started, it was over.

You felt your body slam into the ground. Your vision immediately became hazy and you coughed wetly, blood streaming out of your mouth. You caught a glimpse of your blood splattered on the rocks. A horribly beautiful crimson that shimmered like the gadget - did Ganyu call that a Waypoint? - as if someone had made your blood out of sunlight then mixed it with red paint.

You tried to make yourself move, but your limbs refused to react. You were frozen in place - by fear, shock, or the endless oblivion you knew you were going to face in a matter of minutes, you didn't know.

What about the girl? You gritted your teeth and tried moving your head. You stopped as pain seared through your neck. Hopefully she's okay. You sighed as you felt her move out of your hold.

"You're...okay..." you managed weakly, coughing up more blood. You knew the girl was looking at you, so you forced a smile onto your face before closing your eyes.

------------------------------

Qiqi knew she could do it.

She moved to her right, reaching out for the Violetgrass. Just a little more, and she could continue on her way -

- and her foot slipped.

Qiqi fell backward, holding onto the straps of the basket desperately. This felt familiar - but why? She didn't remember falling from mountains, or even someplace very high up.

Someone caught her. Said person jerked to a stop as they grabbed the rocky surface of the mountain. They lost their grip, and she fell down again, but the person curled themselves around her tiny self, trying their best to shield her body.

This didn't feel familiar at all.

The next thing Qiqi knew, she was on the ground. She could hear the person coughing, and judging by the noise, they were coughing blood.

Qiqi rolled off of the person's body. They looked alright on the outside, just some cuts and scratches probably caused by branches and rocks, but the little zombie knew their insides were severely damaged. Blood stained the ground and rocks and the person's clothing, and the occasionally shimmering crimson liquid was still streaming from their mouth.

The scene in front of her brought a familiar feeling. A memory attempted to resurface in her mind, tried to escape the seal which kept her memories locked away.

"You're...okay..." the person whispered before coughing. Blood kept trickling out of their mouth and nose. They smiled at her weakly, then closed their eyes.

Qiqi knew she could do it.

She activated her Cryo vision, pressing her palms onto their torso. Pale blue light shone in her palms as she tried her best to heal the person. Their outer wounds healed, but their eyes stayed closed. Their breathing slowed, and their heart stopped.

Qiqi pressed her fingers against their wrist, still expecting a pulse. She felt nothing.

"Wait..." Qiqi whispered. "... don't go."

She took a Glaze Lily from her basket. The little girl in green had gifted her the flower that morning, said she had planted it herself.

Qiqi laid it on the person's torso.

"Please...this is for you."

Suddenly, their body glimmered slightly. Flakes of light escaped their skin. Qiqi watched as their body and blood disintegrated into white petals similar to Qingxin flowers. A gentle breeze blew them away, leaving a single petal in the zombie's hand.

"...bye bye," Qiqi waved slowly and sadly, holding the petal.
