I long for you. Every day we spend apart feels like an eternity. I know you don’t wanna hear from me, but I write these letters daily, hoping one will reach you. And I know we’re not through. I can feel it in my soul. A love like ours can’t disappear in an instant. We’re joined to one another. Intertwined. We wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.
i guarantee u have that one incel mutual who will use this app to seek for validation while hyping up every one of their mutuals coming off as super "friendly" even towards those who are already in a relationship like bitch what makes ur stinky ass think u could break someones relationship irl when u can't even talk to single people lmao. this place is truly full of mentally insufferable useless waste of ego driven losers. a lost cause
one piece characters and would they use excel or google sheets : the strawhats
Luffy : accidentally deleted nami's budget sheet that one time and has been banned from using the crew's common computer without supervision. thinks excel is a new type of snack, everytime someone mentions a spreadsheet he spreads a sheet on the floor and takes a nap
usopp : both. currently trying to train luffy by going pavlov style but it's no luck cz luffy keeps forgetting everything the next day
zoro : neither. keeps his logs in a bloodstained notebook
nami : exclusively uses google sheets to keep log of all the ppl she roped into whatever pyramid scheme she got going on at the moment. Got separate backed up files on weather data, the ship's budget, and zoro's debt schedule
robin : excel. actually is an excel scientist who recommends new features and formulas. But all her proposals are just morbid and makes the senior management terrified. her latest project "formula on how likely someone is to die based on their last 5 decisions" is currently waiting for approval in the headquarters
sanji : google sheets. every sheet is color-coded, ingredient-tagged, and automatically generates weekly menus based on the crew's preferences. Has special filters for nami-robin's hormonal cycles and his annoyance level towards zoro. puts love notes in the comment section and sends heart-shaped graphs to nami and robin in leisure time
chopper : both, he might be a baby but he's a capricorn. started hustling right after he popped out off the womb.
franky : excel. everything is password protected but rumour has it that if u type SUPERRR in a specific cell of his spreadsheet, it starts the process of launching a missile
brook : neither. accidentally deletes data all the time and blames it on being dead yo ho ho
jinbei : excel. neat spreadsheets, and very organized. Has a password protected hidden database containing timestamped entries of everytime zoro and sanji did some unnecessary homoerotic shit in the middle of a serious battle. everytime he updates it, he gotta meditate next to the ocean for 2 hrs
there is no place in celestia for a sinner like me. ( or, in which the history seems to come full circle. )
pairing: albedo/gender neutral reader
category/warnings: note format, letter format, bittersweet, albedo creates a homunculus, reader starts to be called ‘little love’ by albedo at some point, reader calls albedo brother later on, this is all platonic love and more focusing on albedos inner feelings and relationships than anything else
note: please reblog i put so much thought in it i think ill cry otherwise @xiaophobic
NOTE ENTRANCE #1
i feel as if i became my master by accident. it’s a weird feeling. i don’t exactly feel… proud. i don’t feel accomplished and i feel as if i should, right? after all, creating another living human being with the use of alchemy has to be one of the most impressive things an alchemist can do.
but i don’t feel that way. i look at them and they remind me of myself. and even though i said i feel as if i became my own master by accident, i do not… want to become her. i do not want them to feel the way i did. and yet, at the same time, i don’t think i’m able to take care of a living, thinking human being. i do not want them to be bound to me by any means either. but i cannot abandon them. it is not right.
they’re my responsibility. and i’ll try my best to give them all that i was never given. they deserve it. i know they do.
NOTE ENTRANCE #3
they don’t speak yet. they stare at me and eat; they sleep a lot. they grabbed my hand once. they are not the way a newborn child is, it seems as if they’re just… learning. by observing me, that is. i think i did that too? i do not remember. they follow me around and try to do the same things i do; i had to stop some of my other experiments. i don’t want them to get hurt by accident. and i don’t want them to become purely an alchemist — nothing more and nothin less.
…i feel as if i should take them to see others in mondstadt. so they don’t become too much like me.
NOTE ENTRANCE #5
they insist on following me around. i halted all of my research now. i’ve decided it’s in their best interest to get to know the world not through alchemy but in the way others do — through pure curiosity.
yes, i know that’s how alchemy is fueled; by the need to know and understand. by the need to create. and yet, i think that if they won’t have the proper means, they won’t look at it through the glasses of an alchemist, right?
extra note: they thought that the flowers flora was showing off in her stand were extremely fascinating. i bought them three — one of each type. they had an expression of such pure happiness on their face that it made my heart clench. did i ever feel this emotion to the extent they did today?
NOTE ENTRANCE #7
they started speaking now. maybe it’s the fact that even though i tried to make them spend more time with others — such as kaeya, jean or lisa, — they still talk most similarly to the way i do. i think it’s to be expected — after all, they do spend most of their time in my company.
extra note: the first words they spoke to me were my name. they didn’t call me by master or sir, or any of the weird honorifics they heard others call me by. i’m glad they didn’t.
NOTE ENTRANCE #15
they cried today.
i introduced them to klee today; it was inevitable and she was excited to meet someone that would play with her. i told her not to overwhelm them too much and she promised not to. as to how much i could trust that promise, i wasn’t sure. i decided i’m going to leave them alone for a second since i needed to make a quick run at the nearby shop.
they cried, klee told me when she ran up to me after i came back. she didn’t want to tell me why though — and neither did they at first. no matter my questions and klee’s worried promises that she’ll share the dodoco with them, just please stop crying. they just smiled at me, tears streaming down their cheeks as they wiped them. they seemed surprised by them, but they didn’t question it. they simply accepted it; embraced it, even.
the sunset is beautiful.
NOTE ENTRANCE #20
as much as i don’t want to admit it, i think that deep down, they’ll become an alchemist too.
am i selfish for not wanting them to?
NOTE ENTRANCE #25
they demanded that i teach them the basics of alchemy. i refused.
they didn’t talk to me the whole day afterwards.
NOTE ENTRANCE #26
they said the same thing today. i refused today too.
NOTE ENTRANCE #27
they told me they wish to study alchemy today too. my answer did not change.
NOTE ENTRANCE #32
…today marks the first day of them becoming my apprentice.
NOTE ENTRANCE #40
they feel so much. they’re so full of emotions, so full of life and curiosity. they get along with klee amazingly — it seems they enjoy the other’s presence a lot. they also took up a job at flora’s flower-shop stand. it seems they have a fondness for plants; every time they come back from it, they have a spark in their eye.
NOTE ENTRANCE #50
they asked if they too can call me brother albedo. too?, i asked and they said yes. they proceeded to tell me that’s what klee calls me. and that she said that they feel like family — her, them and me. and all the terminology that she explained in her childish language to them.
i agreed. of course i did.
we’re family, right?, they asked after a couple of minutes of silence.
yes, we are.
i never expected them to view me as family — but for them to do so was more than i felt i was deserving of. i cannot fail them — especially not when they see me as their brother.
NOTE ENTRANCE #71
it makes me feel dumb but i realized they still don’t have a name. and somehow, everyone found something to call them by; kaeya calling them flower, klee calling them her big sibling, lisa calling them pretty. it’s all fitting, in a way — and i don’t want to give them a name. i believe they deserve to do it themselves.
and me? well, i decided to settle for little love; they have so much of it — more than they seem to be able to give.
NOTE ENTRANCE #85
they excel at alchemy. scarily so. they caught up to sucrose already and yet, they still don’t seem to have a specific niche or a specific topic they’d like to uncover. they are not yet obsessed with finding the answer to one specific question that seems to plague their mind whenever they go.
it’s good. i hope they stay that way.
NOTE ENTRANCE #124
i didn’t write in here for quite some time now. i didn’t particularly feel the need to do so.
NOTE ENTRANCE #150
they’re perfect.
i am not saying it in a way that some people do when they ignore the others flaws and minuses. no, i’m saying that even though they’re not perfect, not in the word’s definition, they still somehow are. maybe all their flaws and characteristics that one would describe as “bad” make them into the perfect person they are.
even though i’m aware of the fact that i’m supposed to be the perfect human, i am not. maybe because of the fact i’m too perfect, it makes me too imperfect. when i look at them, i see someone who i never was and will never be — and it fills me with a sense of peace.
NOTE ENTRANCE #163
even though i want to become anything else than my master, it seems i can’t.
NOTE ENTRANCE #174
i can’t leave them. i can’t leave klee either. i don’t want to leave mondstadt or all the people that made me feel like i belong.
but i have to.
NOTE ENTRANCE #178
i need to leave.
A LETTER TO ___
i am not quite sure about how i’m supposed to do this, if i’m being honest. i’ve never been the best at goodbyes.
hello… you? i’m sorry, it’s just that you still don’t have a name. i mean, i do hope that by now you have one, but if you still don’t have it then i’ll explain as to why you don’t. the reason is simply the fact i’d like for you to choose it on your own. you deserve it. so… pick one that you like on my behalf, will you?
if you’re reading this, then i’m probably not in mondstadt anymore. i’m probably neither in liyue or sumeru or snezhnaya. i’m… not in teyvat anymore, probably. i’m probably hiding where all the other sinners are, wherever that might be. i just hope you won’t ever get to know that place.
i feel awful for shouldering this responsibility on you, so please ask others for help with it; take care of your sister for me. she’ll take care of you in exchange too, i can promise you that. just stay by each other’s sides. it’s always easier to take what the world throws at you together.
i leave all of my notes and research to you. as much as i once hated the idea of you following my steps and becoming an alchemist yourself, it’s your life — and i’m no one to control it. promise to use it for good; to make good use of it for the ones that are less lucky.
you see, there is no place in celestia for a sinner like me. i know you’ve always felt so much; felt more than anyone else and was more vulnerable and open with your feelings than i ever was. reading you was as easy as reading and open book — and please don’t take it as offense, little love. it’s a gift. one that you should treasure.
you see, there is no place in celestia for a sinner like me. so don’t cry for me; i don’t deserve it. save your tears for someone worthy, will you?
