CRUEL
i just leave random scaramona content here
i woke up in a cold sweat to make this
I love how Subin involuntarily became part of their group wiTHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT!
they confess to you <3
includes diluc, kaeya, and childe
(gn reader as always!)
requested by anon: can i request diluc, kaeya, childe and xiao confessing their feelings? i really love your writing, have a nice day<3
<33 np anon, and tysm!! these got a bit lengthy, so i’ll be making a part two with xiao, zhongli, and albedo!
part two
— diluc
diluc stares at you as you laugh, his heart beating so loudly in his ears he swears you have to hear it, too.
he’d been finishing up his shift at the tavern when you walked in, waving at him with a smile. you two had made plans to grab dinner together after work to catch up on things — he hadn’t been able to see you after you’d left for a commission in liyue. he’s surprised at how comforting it is to be back in your presence. just being around you seems to put him at ease.
usually it did, anyway. today’s a special case.
he can barely pay attention to what you’re saying as the two of you walk over to good hunter, his gaze hardened on the ground. his mind races, trying to recall the plan he’d made.
what am i going to say? i could’ve sworn i wrote this down. why can’t i remember? what if i say the wrong thing? wh—
“diluc? you still there?” you wave your hand in front of his face, and he jumps slightly. you stifle a laugh. “we’re here. what did you want to order? i’ll pay.”
“no,” he instantly replies, but pauses to recollect himself. “no,” he repeats, clearing his throat, “i can pay, i insist. you deserve a treat after traveling.”
“what a gentleman,” you tease, and he feigns a scowl before taking out his wallet.
his nerves don’t get any better while you two eat. his movements are stiff and his face is definitely flushed, and he prays you don’t notice. he manages to actually keep a conversation with you, asking about your travels and your work. you gladly indulge him, and just as soon as the evening began, the moon reaches its peak, and the streets of monstadt slowly begin to empty.
the two of you get up, and a sudden panic fills diluc’s chest. he’d gotten so invested in the conversation that he had completely forgotten the entire point of the occasion.
before he can stutter out an excuse to keep you with him for just a little longer, you save him.
“i’ll walk back to the winery with you,” you say, and he tries to contain his sigh of relief. “it’s been so long since we’ve spent this much time together.”
he hums in agreement, and as you two walk past the gate, diluc feels a strange calm wash over him. the stars shine brightly as the night breeze whispers past his ears; he looks over at you and finds that you’re gazing at the sky as well, a wonderous look in your eyes.
“it’s beautiful, isn’t it?” you smile. “out of everything i’ve seen during my journeys, the night sky will always be the most stunning.”
he swallows before coming to a stop. “i’m afraid i cannot agree.”
you pause as well, looking back at him with a snort. “yeah? and just what else can you think of?”
“i’m looking right at it.”

ah could i request pining zhongli headcanons w a gender neutral reader please?? this would probably be pre-relationship but do it however you want!! ily :DD
I want to write... Zhongli... aahhh this is the first time I’ve written for him I hope it’s okay;;
Slow burn
He doesn’t know what he’s doing or when did he exactly catch feelings for you, it just slowly, gradually appeared.
Unless he’s talking about Liyue’s history or culture, he’s quite easily distracted. He’s talking to someone and he sees you appear from a corner, guess where his attention is now;;
He’ll invite you for tea like a lot. You just had tea with him yesterday? Doesn’t matter. It’s serves as an excuse for him to spend time with you. Afternoon tea, perhaps dinner after that —If he remembers to bring mora.
He’s clumsy when it comes to romance, at first you might find him rather quiet. He doesn’t want to accidently bore you with his various ramblings —ranging from economics to history. He prefers to share fun things with you, afterall. Though he doesn’t exactly know how to do that.
He prefers to listen to you. You’d catch him often asking you about your day or encouraging you to talk about yourself during your time together.
Occassionally, He does says things that confuse you on purpose. Once you stare at him with a perplexed look on your face, he’d chuckle “Did I confuse you?” He thinks you’re cute.
I feel like one day you’d just get tired of his dumbass and ask like, “What are you doing?” He’ll look at you in confusion, he thinks he had made his intentions obvious. He ends up deadpanning “Courting you.”
He’s trying
a lucky idiot.
in which you learn about the way iwaizumi loves, as told by his best friend.
— pairing / genre. iwaizumi x gn! reader / fluff
— from gab. this idea has been on my mind for the longest time now and i had a burst of motivation to write. not my best piece, but i thought it was cute nonetheless :]
“has iwaizumi ever fallen in love?”
oikawa choked on the water he was currently chugging down, clearly caught off guard by the unexpected question. after a handful of coughs, struggled breaths, and smacks to his back, he hoarsely responded, “i think so, yeah. why are you asking?”
“i’ve never seen him fawn over anyone. how do you know he’s loved someone?” you responded, a huff of frustration hanging off the tip of your words. subtle, but not subtle enough for oikawa. “i don’t think he’s the type to show it.”
oikawa followed your gaze over to his best friend, resting on the figure that stood in the middle of your living room with a vacuum in hand. despite the occasional grunt and complaint that could be distinguished from the machine’s deafening white noise, iwaizumi was diligently cleaning your apartment.
“he does,” oikawa said nonchalantly, unable to resist the smirk that tugged at his lips when your head whipped over to look at him from the corner of his eye. “you just have to look between the lines.”
he sighed exasperatedly when he saw your face contort in confusion, leaning closer to you across the table. “listen carefully.”

The Korean Skincare Routine
So one of the first things I noticed about a lot of idols, and most Koreans in general—they have amazing skin! Korean culture puts a lot into appearance, skincare especially, so it’s no wonder that they have a product or multiple products for any kind of skin problem imaginable. Before I dabbled much into the different kind of skin products that were out there, I was taught there were three major steps to skincare: cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Occasionally for breakouts you use a spot treatment. That was basically it.
But then I thought, these k-idols have to be doing SOMETHING to make their skin that pretty ( besides plastic surgery…let’s not go there. ouo; ). I mean it’s probably some expensive treatment I can’t afford but hey, not everyone in Korea is rich right? What do they do?
Turns out, Koreans are way ahead of us when it comes to skincare—about 10-15 years! They have a huge assortment of products that they use daily, with skincare routines that have anywhere from 10-12 steps and more. Yeah. That’s a lot.
So here’s a breakdown of a typical Korean skincare routine.
Morning Routine
Step One: Cleanser
So everyone and their sassy grandma probably uses some type of cleanser. What type of cleanser you use will depend on your skin type and sensitivity. Right now I love foaming cleansers—it controls oil while being gentle on my face. Etude House’s Wonderpore Whipping Foam is amazing! I would avoid most gel cleansers, all of the ones I’ve tried have been way too harsh even for my oily skin. It would leave all kinds of dry patches, ew.
Step Two: Toner
So this is one product I can tell a HUGE difference between the Korean products and American. Korean toners are much more gentle. They balance your skin’s pH while keeping it hydrated. American toners are much stronger, and a lot of them are alcohol based which is very drying to your skin. They do clear breakouts faster, but it leaves the rest of your skin too dry. Besides, clearing breakouts really isn’t the main purpose of a toner.
This is the one product I would recommend splurging on. A good toner will go a long way! Just make sure it’s alcohol free.
Step Three: Essence
Da heck is an essence?! Yeah, that’s what I thought too. This is a product that many don’t know about but is an amazing addition to any skincare routine. The best way for me to describe it is it’s kind of like a serum but the consistency is a bit thinner. Unlike serums which are widely known to be wrinkle treatments, essence products are used to treat a wide variety of skin problems. Dryness, oiliness, enlarged pores, blackheads, you name it! I recently got a sample of The Face Shop’s Core Seed Purifying Essence…I’m in love! I’ll definitely buy a full size bottle. It’s worked wonders in controlling oil.
Step Four: Emulsion
…Da heck is an emulsion?! I feel you. Basically it’s a lightweight moisturizer. Personally, it would be an optional thing that I would probably wait and use during winter months. But if you have really dry skin or live in a dry area I wouldn’t skip this step…it’s that extra layer of moisture you might need!
Step Five: Moisturizer
Even if you decide not to use an emulsion, moisturizers are still really important. Again this depends on climate, skin type, sensitivity etc. I always use an oil free gel based moisturizer because it doesn’t clog my pores. In the winter months I use a heavier moisturizer at night so my skin doesn’t get too dry, but I guess that’s where the emulsion comes in!
Steps 6-∞ : Primers, BB Cream, Applying makeup
After your moisturizer you continue with putting on your makeup. Primers, BB Cream or CC Cream, etc etc. Again this depends on what you like to plaster all over your face. c:
Night Routine
Step One: Two Step Cleansing
Yes…that reads two step cleansing. Koreans are all about making your skin ultra clean before applying any product. Step one is an oil based cleanser used to remove makeup. Some people use wipes, I personally use them, but I heard that the cleansers are better and less harsh. I have one coming in the mail, so we’ll see~ The second step in cleansing is the one you used in the morning. Some use a different cleanser at night but again, personal preference.
Step Two-Five+: Toner, Essence, Emulsion/Serums, and Moisturizers
Again, same as the morning, but you can use different products if you like depending on your skin needs. I would use a heavier moisturizer and maybe a different serum for the night time if you can spend the extra money. But if not, the morning one is just fine. ^^
Really the serums is where people get crazy. They buy all kinds of different serums for different things and apply them all at night so their skin heals while they sleep.
Step Five+ to ∞ : All The Extras
It’s really hard to put the night time steps in a particular order because skincare routines are always personalized. But this is when you would apply anything extra that you needed—acne spot treatments, eye cream, etc. As a rule of thumb, thinner products absorb easier, so always apply your products thin to thick in consistency during this step and during your serum step if you have more than one.
Weekly/Monthly Treatments: You thought we were done right? Nope! Koreans also have a regimen they do weekly and monthly.
Facial Scrub/Peel: Usually this is a once a week product that gets rid of all your dead skin cells. Scrubs never worked for me, they’re too harsh, but I’m really anxious to try a peel!
Face Masks: These come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Sheet masks, deep cleansing masks, and sleeping masks. These are used 1-2 times a week as well depending on your skin needs. I would recommend deep cleansing maybe once every other week or once a month because it dries out your skin. So make sure you use a heavier moisturizer after!
Extra Tips:
Another product I’ve seen a lot in Korean brands is a freshening mist. These are usually used throughout the day to freshen the skin. I’m fairly sure I’ve seen ones that help control oil too. This is a step I haven’t tried yet but wouldn’t mind, especially during summer months.
Products with SPF are HUGE right now. Make sure at least some of your products, especially your BB cream has SPF in it. It’s extra protection for your skin~
If you have redness or dark spots on your skin, try using products that have whitening. These can be bought in a serum or spot treatment.
Look at the ingredients. The more natural the better!
For me this was overwhelming to think about at first. It’s so time consuming and there’s so many products. But I’m introducing myself to it slowly and I can already tell a difference in my skin! It definitely feels softer and I’m less oily throughout the day. So far so good! I hope this helps. ^_^

hot things tsukishima does
here are the creators and their posts that inspired this!
@0ik6lut - hot things oikawa does (OG)
@ahtsumu - hot things suna does
when you’re at your desk and ask him for help on something he places his hand on one side of the desk and leans down, basically encasing you in his arms
additionally, he’ll talk in your ear and when you look up at him he’ll look down at you and just…smirk before pulling away and telling you to figure the problem out yourself
leans on the doorframe; sometimes you’ll be leaning on wall next to the doorframe and he’ll come up and lean on it next to you, his body warmth making your heart beat 11x faster
when he wakes up one hand is stretching upwards towards the air while the other scratched his stomach and…. :) iz just nice
grabs your chin to look at him and uses his pointer finger to caress your chin before kissing you
has worn the maid costume once. you have a picture of it. on your phone. confidential. you look at it sometimes…. <3
Comfortable in his sexuality and lets you dress him up however as long as he can watch movies while you do it
when you watch movies together he’ll nonchalantly feed you a piece of popcorn but his fingers brush past your lips really slowly and when you both are looking at each other in anticipation he’ll lean back against the couch’s arm rest and pop a piece of popcorn in his mouth
you’re on your laptop and ask him for help with something and instead of wait until you move you arm out of the way he puts his hand on the mouse pad next to yours and his pinky links with one of your fingers….
says “oh? and you’re gonna stop me?”
when he’s stressed with his work on the computer he’ll sigh lightly and slip off his glasses and place his hand on his chin to look at you across the room, his tongue darts out to wet his lips, his gaze is dark and half-lidded
he’ll be doing something that takes his focus and you think he can’t see you staring at him, but then he’ll suddenly glance at you with thoe electric honey eyes of his and quirk his brow. no smile on his face. just intense stare
taps his pencils and pens against his pretty soft lips out of habit. sometimes looks at you while doing it
wears an plain silver chain anklet
has a prominent adam’s apple and when he drinks water after a game and there’s sweat dripping down his chin it’s. just. yeah.
has pretty hands with long fingers; sometimes he just mindlessly rubs the edge of his desk with his fingers and you can’t help but watch.
actually takes care of his nails – like the cuticles are pushed back and they are filed in a pretty shape. occasionally uses nail oil
his style. either it’s a lazy loose sweatpants (not grey ones, sorry, he knows that trend) and a long sleeve t-shirt or when he goes out and feels like trying it’s khaki pants with white socks and vans with a white button up and a vest pullover on top of it. just. preppy tsukishima. please god.
when he’s sitting on a bed he has one leg outstretched and one leg bent with his arm resting on it, his head in that hand, his other hand scrolling through his phone until you walk in and his eyes flit to you and trail after you until you leave the room
the hottest thing about tsukishima is his stare. the power his eyes hold over you, with or without glasses, is shocking. his eyes are just such a pretty shade of amber with a dark ring around them…the type of guy to forget his glasses one day and everyone has a picture of him from that day because. damn.
bonus: is the progressive kid in class who you think hates everyone equally but when someone says some Fucked Up discriminatory shit he goes Off on their ass and absolutely schools them
bonus bonus: tsukishima’s legs. nuff said
Another sweet Soukoku combo with the Kitsune AU✨
