hello darling! yes - i liiive and you do toooo i'm so glad <3
life is jam packed full of things. work is busy, decisions decisions to be made (i'm a director now, woah) - uuuh I have pink hair now AND I just got a new tattoo. I'm also working on book 2 and have like 30% of it done so far, and i'm also working on a loki fanfic because i'm weak and simple lol
how are you??? anything that you're really excited about - tell meee
Something about your work makes my heart beat with an excitement, perhaps it's the lovely scenarios, perhaps it's the wonderful skill of yours to make the most mundane things– the most normal things– turn into something worth remembering.
Your blogs– both, witch-hazels-musings and this one– they give me this feeling, I could say it's an example of what 'serendipity' means.
To read your works feels akin to lying in the garden of a house I dream to have, grass cushioning my head and a book in hand. Your writing feels so dreamy to me, if I could, I would cherish it for as long as I can.
Some evenings, as today's, I come back to your blogs in hope of finding something to make me smile after hours of repeating routines. Something about your work is like the sun on a spring day, warm and blissful.
And so today, I write this to say thank you. Thank you– for every time your works made me smile, and for when they make me daydream a beautiful scene. Thank you.
I'm always moved deeply when someone writes how my works makes them feel, or shares their perspectives with me and I must say this took me days to digest, to soak in, to work through my emotions as I read this over and over.
I've been feeling so uncertain about my writing lately - that it's not good enough, its not cut out to make it beyond here, that I need to change my works to fit elsewhere but this reminded me why I write the way I do - and how it conveys what I hope it always does.
Thank you for your message, your time; for reading my stories and thinking they are worthy to come back to.
I'm honored, and profoundly grateful for this message
Do you ever just think of how Vision users might have scars from their own accidental use of Visions when they first got them?
Like how Diluc has some burnt scars on his hands, how Kaeya has frost burns on parts of his side from his burst, how Childe has little cuts and scars from his too sharp hydro weapons, how Zhongli still carried his first jagged scars from the first time he carved Geo and only hiding it with the off coloring of his hands.
Xiao and Kazuha still have anemo scratches and wounds that would flutter out with excess anemo because it keeps opening up, releasing wind instead of blood. How Scara has cracks forming on his body from the electro he felt that he wasn't worthy or wasn't supposed to be able to wield.
Thoma's many, many burns littered across his body from trying to prove himself to the Kamisatos and from eagerly pushing himself to do better with his housework. Itto and the many nicks and cuts from jagged rocks and sometimes when Ushi is summoned in a wrong angle.
How Venti would still adorn the same scars that he remembered his friend having, how the scars from when he adjusted from his sprite form to his human form remains as a reminder to never forget and to not let Erosion take over.
Ei and her electro scars remaining onto her from the Cataclysm and from failing to protect Makoto. Raiden Shogun doesn't have them, they are her burdens and she wants to honor those who have fallen on her own terms. Her fingertips tingling with Electro but no long feeling the finicky element.
FUWON WHAT -- it’s 11am for me and you come over here to bring me such heartbreak!?
THE VENTI ONE FREAKING MURDERED ME ARE YOU SERIOUS -- POOR BOY IS CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF HIS FRIEND BY ALREADY LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND YET TO ADD ON THE SCARS THAT HE RECALLS -- IM -- IM OMG FUWON YOU JERK SOBBINGGGGGG
(Diluc sir, I’ll kiss your scared hands, your burns and cuts, I’ll remind you of the successes you’ve made, how far you’ve come. these don’t define you sweet boy, you are lovely and perfect in every way and I’ll tell you every day until it finally sinks in - and even then, i’ll keep going)
Could I request a Divination for Childe sandalwood, dalmation stone, and cinnamon? Thank you! ❤️
Sandalwood (ceremony), Dalmatian Stone (loyalty, family), Cinnamon (love and prosperity)

warning: none! its super fluffy :D
"We're going to be late," you hummed against his lips.
"Are we?" he asked, his hands flush against you, grip possessive, tight.
You pulled back from his seeking attention and smirked at the look on his face. "Do you not want to go?" He clenched his jaw. "Your sister put in a lot of work for this. She'd be upset if you didn't show up."
"These things can go on for hours. Who cares if we are a little late," he replied and made a move to your jaw. His lips caressed your skin while his fingers tugged at your new clothes.
"It took me forever to put this on."
"And you look good in it. Almost too good," he said against your neck.
"Childe, come on." You pushed against him, the woolen fabric of his decorative tunic made your palms itch. "I don't want your family mad at me."
"That could never happen."
"Yes, well, I'd rather they keep a good impression so - get - off," you shoved him back playfully. He retreated, though he looked like a wounded. As he often did when he didn't get his way. You turned back to the mirror and fussed with your clothes. "I wish I'd asked Tonia to show me how to wear this. Does it look bad?" You flared out your hands so he could see you. It wasn't the first time you'd worn Snezhnayian garb but it was the first time you'd put it on yourself.
Childe appeared over your shoulder while you fussed at the collar, tugging at the wrap around your waist. You adjusted the long sleeves and waited impatiently for Childe's opinion.
"You look perfect," he said, his voice low and steady as his eyes captured you in the reflection.
"It just feels off somehow. I guess I'll get used to it." You moved onto your hair, adjusting it so it wasn't sticking up anywhere wildly. Every time you moved the bells on the ends of your sleeves jingled a happy tune. When you felt as put together as you could be, you glanced at Childe.
He seemed frozen, lost in the reflection. His gaze longing, enchanted. He stared at the two of you, together in the bonds of his land.
"Hey." Your voice drew him back. He kissed you on the temple before pulling away from the mirror. It took you a second to compose yourself.
Clearing your throat, you made for the door while Childe wandered around the room, head on a swivel.
"What's up?"
"I've lost my coat. Have you seen it?"
"No. Did you hang it up like I told you to?" you asked, grabbing yours from the hook near the door. It took a minute to get your arms through the sleeves and the extra bulk made you feel like you were shoved into a pillow, but it was worth it not to freeze. "Check the bedroom, I'll look out here."
Childe made his way down the hall and you quickly scanned the living space for his coat. It took you almost no time to find it. Draped over the back of a random chair in the corner. You shook your head, laughed, and were about to call him when something fell from the pocket.
A small box.
Ornate.
Richly blue.
Curious, you reached for it, and though you weren't sure what was inside, your hands couldn't stop shaking. You could hear Childe in the back rooms rummaging through his things. There was time.
The lid lifted to reveal a ring shimmering in ice blue, adorned with pure gems that caught the light. You lifted it to your face, stunned.
"It's not back here," Childe shouted from the hall, startling you. You slammed the box closed and shoved it back into the pocket. Spinning on your heels just in time to face him. "Oh hey, you found it." He made his way to you. Every step caused your heart to beat more frantically than the last.
You gazed at him. His sun-freckled cheeks warmed in the yellow light of his home, his ruffled hair and crooked smile. The small scar under his left eye told of a wild childhood in the snow.
The man of your dreams.
"Ready?" he asked, his hand held out for you to take it.
You placed your fingers in his grip, hoping he couldn't tell you were shaking. "More than ready," you replied.

Soo, for curiosity’s sake; do you have any thoughts on nod-krai? Or are you no longer interested in genshin impact?
uhh, i don't play any genshin anymore ><
the last thing I saw was Flins? and he's a cutie, but I'm just so far behind in that game and I don't have the time to catch up at this point. I do love that people still have new things going on with it - i'm glad Hoyo has kept things fresh and exciting.
Hello Hazel, I hope you're doing well! I think this would be the first time I'm sending you a message. It's just that I came across your account once more while I was scrolling through my following list. And suddenly nostalgia hits me. I remember reading one of your fics on chrome during pandemic, a diluc fanfic. The funny thing is I don't even play genshin at that time let alone know who in the world diluc is. But I read it anyway for fun.
I don't know how or why, but it made me check out diluc after finishing that fic of yours. Immediately fell in love with him and finally played genshin after a few months because of him. I've been reading a lot of genshin fics and following a lot of writers here since that day but I will never forget how you introduced me to the game which is now part of mg life. I still love diluc with all my heart. And please, I hope you don't mind having me several times in your notifications as I'm currently reading your new fics and also rereading the older ones hehe.
Please take care always Hazel!!!
aww, well hello and thank you for messaging me! I always love seeing people reading and enjoying my works and its really cool to know people are still reading them after so long ><
you know, you'd think after all this time i'd move on, but DIluc still holds an incredible place in my heart. I still have all the standee's and keychains for him handing up on my wall (i just like him)
which story do you like?? i'm curious!
take care of yourself, cutie, and don't stop doing things that make you smile
