“If I had a lame ass boyfriend I would hype him up so much I would make him wait outside so I could go in first and be like get ready here comes the specialest boy ever if you don’t cheer and clap for him I’ll fucking blow this whole building up”
Thinking of this tumblr post again. What characters across Genshin and honkai(or any fandoms you’d like) would this apply to in your eyes? Can obv make gn partner instead of boyfriend for the writing
I LOVE THIS!!! Tried to control myself a lil with the amount of characters I picked but uhhh that didn't go so well (^_^;)
Various Genshin, HSR, and HNDR Characters x GN Reader - Making You Feel Special
- Childe -
When I looked at the genshin roster and saw his dead fish eyes staring back at me, I knew I had to include him lmao. He is sooo the type to be crazy obnoxious about hyping you up every opportunity he gets, zero shame whatsoever. There's no talking him out of it either. You WILL be treated like an Archon everywhere you go!!! Or else... :) Just like he feels zero shame in treating you like divinity, he's got no qualms about using his position to ensure others do the same. They wouldn't want to get on the Fatui's bad side... right?
- Furina -
Another one who gets wayyyy over the top about introducing you and helping you feel welcome. A huge chunk of it is simply out of habit, what with her being one of Fontaine's most theatrical residents and having hundreds of years worth of muscle memory burned into her. However, despite how silly it may seem, she actually does put a lot of thought into her behavior. Being the lover of a former Archon's a tough position to be in, after all. The least she can do is steal the spotlight and help break the tension a little; that way, your sweet little self can't get too worked up about being judged for your own quirks, whatever those may be.
- Hu Tao -
Like Furina, she is SO happy to do whatever silly nonsense it takes to make herself look weird for your sake. She also plain old enjoys showing you off. It's so cute how she pushes you in front of others with the goofiest grin on her face, presenting you like some sort of human show and tell. What's not so cute is her reaction if the other person's own isn't up to par. You won't see it with her hiding behind your back, but trust that the eerie glare she's throwing their way is more than enough to convince any sane man to change their tune in an instant.
- Xiangling -
Ohhh to be given special treatment by Xiangling... The minute you set foot inside the Wanmin Restaurant, she's already zooming over with your favorite appetizers in hand and dragging you to your designated spot to get to monching. And if it's a special occasion like your birthday? Oh my goodness does she go all out with the celebratory dessert—or in her case, every single part of the meal. Everyone better sing along each time, or she'll sneak some extra spice into their next dish!
- Alice -
Nobody in the world could stand out when placed next to her, but will that stop her from using her magic to try to make it happen? Heck no! She's casting spell after spell to help you shine, no matter how embarrassing you find her antics to be. Her methods are super effective—both due to her talent and, well... If her daughter's anything to go off of, that whole line about blowing the whole building up if they don't react as desired shouldn't be taken lightly. So they better play along, 'kay?
- Thoma -
THOMA ARGGGHGHH I FINALLY GOT AN EXCUSE TO WRITE ABOUT YOU
It's no secret that he's one of the sweetest guys in Inazuma, always happy to help support those around him. Why wouldn't he do the same for you? Thankfully for those of y'all that get shy about this sorta thing, he's one of the few on this list that has the tact to know not to go too far with it. Don't get me wrong, he still goes pretty overboard, but a stern look his way will get him to switch gears if needed. Speaking of stern looks, if he hears a single complaint about your frequent appearances at the Kamisato Estate from the other workers? They're getting the nastiest side eye in the world. Probably a thinly veiled threat too regarding their job security if they keep acting up.
- Sparkle -
Your first time meeting the Masked Fools is a full-on party because of her. Not like their hangouts getting a bit over the top is anything out of the ordinary, but still. I wouldn't be surprised if she made a literal bomb and used it to set Sampo and the others on fire if they don't reach a certain noise threshold. You think they're just really, REALLY happy to meet you, meanwhile they're sweating bullets as an ominous beeping noise rings out from under them—
- Aventurine -
His way of going about hyping you up is far more subtle, but by no means does that mean you'll feel any less loved. From his perspective, there really isn't any need for grand gestures of affection here. One well-placed hand on your waist and a pet name or two is plenty to get the message across: you're his special plaything, and anyone with a brain would know better than to treat a Stoneheart's darling like anything other than the most precious of gems.
- Guinaifen -
Heeellloooooo!!! This is Guinaifen we're talking about here. Of course she's going to be your number one hype man! Even on the most normal of days, she's constantly singing your praises to any poor bloke who gets caught in one of her yapfests, so you can imagine how she gets when introducing you to others. Her adoration is so pure and genuine that it's incredibly infectious as well, ensuring that all around her will hold you in similarly high esteem. Another Guinaifen nation W!
- March 7th -
March literally can't help but show you off every single planet y'all go to together. You can whine all you want about it after the fact, but no matter how many times you ask her to tone it down, she can't help it! You take your eyes off her for one second and suddenly she's chatting up some poor service worker and pulling out her favorite photos... which just happen to be photos of you two together. Hey, don't get mad! It's just proof that you're the cutest cutie in the whole galaxy.
- Evernight -
Most people are kind enough to not get too outwardly annoyed by March's ramblings, but you know how some people are. Maybe they insult her, or worse, push her and yell at her to back off. If that's the case... Well, Evenight certainly doesn't mind stepping in for a little while to give them a good scare. After all, it's already unforgivable for them to hurt March; the fact that they inadvertently insulted you in the process as well? Now that's just asking for trouble. At least they were kind enough to offer themselves as an example, that way nobody else in that room will dare make that same mistake.
- Argenti -
Pretty self-explanatory. No matter what kind of person you are or how poor your self-esteem may be, he earnestly believes—and therefore treats you—like you're beauty incarnate, inside and out. Singing your praises at every waking moment is practically a full-time job for him. All he asks for in return is for you to cease your bizarre obsession with shying away from his compliments. They're embarrassing, you say? But he's only telling you the truth... Perhaps he needs to be even more affectionate so you can get used to it?
- Takemaru -
One of the first that came to mind when I saw this prompt! He's so the sort to take his insecure partner and throw them into a confidence building training arc. Very reminiscent of how he treated Shouma in r0. He keeps screaming at you to do one more rep, except instead of physical exercise, it's just you screaming shit like "I am worthy of being loved!!!" while he cheers for you on the sidelines. It's incredibly annoying to everyone else in the academy, but he will NOT listen to any noise complaints. Sorry to all the light sleepers in there.
- Kurara -
As the future spouse of an Oosuzuki, you are not allowed to go around being all mopey and sorry for yourself! It would be a disgrace to her family name. So you better hold your head up high going forward, else you risk a swift jab of her elbow and a verbal warning. Of course, the hits and scorning are never too harsh when it comes to you. Those kinds of heavy hitters are reserved for the rest of the unit on the off chance they throw an unsavory comment your way.
In other words, Gaku's getting hit. A lot. Maybe one day he'll learn...?
- Moko -
Who's better suited to be your hype man than the pro wrestler herself? The moment you walk into a room, she's already got her voice booming loud enough that her silly yet charming intro speech echoes throughout its entirety. What's more, her status as the team's beloved mood maker ends up making her strategy rather effective. Some of the others—most likely Nozomi and/or Kyoshika—even join in on her shenanigans and cheer you on like a fighter entering the ring... despite it being the cafeteria. And 8 a.m. And everyone else being way too exhausted for that kinda stuff. Oops.
- Eito -
Admittedly, he can be a little too jealous of others getting close to you to want them to start acting super friendly with you. Still, he loves loves loves showering you with praise around the others. It makes it a million times easier to tolerate them when he gets to sneak sweet things about you into the conversation. That food he made for everyone? Well, you helped, so you deserve credit too! That smart idea he had? Actually, you were the one to come up with it first. He just fleshed out the details is all.
Buuuuut I mostly included him because of the bomb part. Boy is not above kabooming anyone who makes you feel bad, even if it's a total accident on their part. Love and peace!!!
Welcome to another round of (hopefully) the weirdest biology lessons you'll ever receive. Essentially a shitpost, someone should take away my writing privileges. There could be better suited animals out there, I just chose from the ones I know. Some are reposts from my old blog, some are new.
Tags: nsfw in the way a national geographic documentary is, there are no graphic details but proceed at your own discretion
Wriothesley - Acinonyx jubatus (Cheetah)
Regrettably, Wriothesley doesn't have as much time to see you as he'd prefer, seeing as he spends most of his time in the fortress. As such, he can be somewhat of a passionate and at times eager lover when he gets his hands on you. He takes pride in his physique and thoroughly enjoys when you're visiting and goes down to watch him train. Better yet if you see him win a match. Once he has you alone, he wastes no time getting close, his voice low and sultry as he asks about all that has transpired since he saw you last. His hands roam along your body as you try to answer, knowing full well nothing you say makes sense, heart swelling at the look in his eyes. It's fine, he'll ask again later when you're both relaxing with a cup of tea.
Cheetahs are actually very straight-forward when it comes to reproduction. Males living in coalitions will sometimes fight for the right to mate. Females use a combination of vocal signals and urination to attract a partner, the male might also use urination to indicate his location. Once the pair meet, the male produces a series of sounds called the 'stutter-bark' which triggers female hormonal cascades and induces ovulation so the female is in prime condition for mating. Wriothesley could make a lot of people ovulate with his voice alone let's be honest.
Dehya - Orcinus orca (orca / killer whale)
You first notice that things have changed when Dehya starts inviting you along (only on jobs that are low risk, of course). Then you notice how her touch begins to change, what used to be simply grabbing your wrist to pull you back before a sumpter beast could trample you turns into a lingering hand at the small of your back or a thumb rubbing circles along the back of your hand as she doesn't let go. She's always been talkative with you, but at this point, there are so many layers to your communication that an outsider would have trouble following a conversation. Next, you realise that several in the Corps of Thirty recognise you as "The Flame-Mane's partner", something that only makes her smile and wrap an arm around your shoulder when you bring it up. "You don't seem to mind it". From there, she's in Sumeru City more often, dedicating her time there to you - especially if she can convince you to let her dress you up.
Orcas are incredibly intelligent and have a very high level of social organisation. Pods are tightly knit but can split for a few weeks to months depending on conditions. Courtship behaviour typically includes vocalisation specific to the dialect of that clan (one organisational level above pods), play-like behaviour such as breaching the surface, and non-sexual physical touch. "Coerced mating" does not seem to appear in orcas, with one observed instance of a male (with the aid of its mother) attempting to kill a female's offspring to mate with her resulting in the female severely wounding the male and thus dissuading further attempts. Orcas have also been observed to... dress up.... by placing dead fish on their heads and swimming around like that.
Venti - Sepia apama (Giant cuttlefish)
This little charmeur knows exactly how to play the mating game despite competition being fierce. Not exactly imposing, people merely scoff when he cozies up to you. Sure, he has his hands all over you and his head making a bee-line towards your lap. But he's drunk. And oddly endearing in how gently he touches you, like you're something precious, his eyes almost shining when he looks at you. Gotta remember he's a poet as well, a few of his sweet words and it's impossible to resist going home with him.
Giant cuttlefish males are very competitive and aggressive, with the largest ones being able to secure females. BUT smaller males, sometimes referred to as 'sneaker males', will wait for the larger male to be distracted and sneak past to mate. They've also been observed to change their colouring and hide their hectocotylus (think of it as a specialised penis-arm) to resemble a female and better hide.
The Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing is, unsurprisingly, a busy young lady. However, that doesn't mean there's no time for frivolities. It's just a matter of adjusting your schedules, nothing a bit of planning can't handle. She's fond of inviting you for early morning walks, preferably bringing breakfast for a brief stop at the outskirts of Liyue Harbour. Of course, you notice that she starts asking for your opinion on a multitude of topics, most curiously when you've joined her for shopping and any compliment from your lips has a faint blush dusting her cheeks. Despite how independent she is, the closer you two become, the more comfortable she gets with trusting you to lighten her load. Absolutely adores coming home to you being all domestic.
Short-snouted seahorses are extremely faithful to each other once they're a pair, even syncronising their reproductive stages to be fertile at the same time. The first time every day a pair meet, they perform a 'greeting' that typically lasts more than five minutes and consists of moving around together. Like all other seahorses, they are ovoviviparous, meaning the female has an ovipositor that she uses to deposit eggs into a pouch on the male's abdomen. The male carries the eggs until they are fully developed, at which point he goes into labour. Interestingly, a male in a secure pair is ready to receive eggs mere hours after labour without any negative health impact.
Kaeya - Pavo muticus (Green peafowl)
Kaeya is impossible. Between being quite the flirt and keeping everyone at arm's length, you well and truly have no idea what's going on. You think he always dresses up a little more nicely when he knows in advance you'll be there. You think he tenses a little less when it's your hand that brushes against his skin. You think he sounds a little more sincere when he invites you home. But that's the frightening part, you think a lot of things, but you don't know anything. Not until the day he looks a little worse for wear, makes no move to undress you after sitting down on the bed. He brings your hand to his cheek, guides your fingers to push his eyepatch off. You don't praise the beauty, instead opting to press a kiss to his eyelid. That's when he confesses to having only sought out your company and how he doesn't want to continue with things as they are. He wants more, even if it scares him.
Green peafowl sets itself apart from the more commonly known Indian peafowl by not displaying lek behaviour (a lek is a gathering of males where they 'perform' for the attention of females that roam around). In the wild, young males have been primarily observed maintaining a harem, but because of conflicting observations, it is believed that while juvenile birds can gather in a harem, older birds form monogamous pairs. While the tail of a peacock is traditionally considered an ornament for attracting females, it is now also considered "honest signalling of fitness". A longer tail makes flight more difficult, and evidence points towards investment in tail growth happening at the expense of immune function. A bit like some unhealthy things humans are prone to partake in to enhance appeal.
Xiangling - Blattella germanica (German cockroach)
It probably comes as no surprise that Xiangling likes to surprise you with treats and meals. She takes great pride in making sure you're provided for and makes certain there's never a dull moment for your tastebuds. Maybe it's a little overwhelming at first, but don't worry, she'll learn your preferences for flavour combinations quickly. But more than anything, Xiangling loves being in the kitchen with you and seeing you add your own personal touch. Sure, she has a penchant for running all over the place, but there's no place like home.
Blattella germanica males produce a sugary substance that they secrete from their back, offering it to females to keep them still long enough for copulation. This penchant for glucose led producers of pest controls to include it as bait, but as nature tends to, this has prompted a rise of glucose-aversion and a shift towards the sugary substance produced containing more complex sugars to distinguish the taste. Experimental little chefs.
The kind, thoughtful, compassionate, awkward Iudex of Fontaine is the picture of "he's a little confused, but he's got the spirit." Neuvillette has no idea what to do with himself the first time he feels his heart tighten at your smile. Unfortunately, he's not exactly subtle, various romance novels suddenly popping up around his office... He tries everything, consults Furina (not a good idea, too many sweets), the melusine (better but still not great, aquatic flowers aren't that appealing on dry land), gifts you pure spring water with a taste description matches your personality in his mind (Wriothesley begged him to just invite you for tea instead and Neuvillette should have listened). It gets especially bad endearing when he asks you to accompany him for a stroll. You're confused when he brings you out into shallow water, insisting you sit down while he proudly presents the partially submerged 'nest' so you will always have a safe place to return to.
These pufferfish have some unique habits compared to other pufferfish. To impress a female and show that she will be well taken care of, the male creates a large nest on the seafloor, making big circles and pushing the sand around to get it just right. We're not exactly sure why they make these nest... And even less why they seemingly refuse to reuse them. It's believed that females pick a male based on how 'impressive' the design is and how fine the sand within the nest is - presumably for the safety of the eggs. If I were a pufferfish and a slightly different kind of pufferfish started showing off a nest, I'd be pretty confused.
How Pantalone acts very much depends on who you are and how you behave. If you're simply a means to an end (his own release) then you can expect to be used, under threats of misfortune if you're uncooperative, and then discarded. But, if you've truly caught his attention as something worth keeping, then you can expect a well thought out, catered specifically to your tastes, display of his wealth and what he can offer you if you stick around.
Gerridae males will mount the female while they're on the water surface and thrum his legs against the surface to attract predators (the female is more likely to be eaten since she is closer to the surface), only stopping once the female stops resisting. The eurasian jay has been observed to regularly give gifts, not only right before mating, and has displayed that conscious thought goes into picking what the female will appreciate the most, with often opting for bringing her something 'new and exciting'.
If you - for unknown reasons - would want me to assign your fav (from genshin or hsr) an animal, send me an ask (❁´◡`❁)

I was listening to some old songs and thought, "What if the characters think this song is about y/n/reader?"
Various! Genshin x GN! Reader
✎ Synopsis: While stranded on an island, your friends pick up a mysterious book that reveals a hidden past.
✎Ft. Gaming, CHONGYUN, Xiangling, Xingqiu, & XIAO
✎ Since Lumine doesn't go by "Lumine" in the actual game and uses an alias (the one the players name the traveler), I'll be using her JP name (Hotaru 蛍) instead of Lumine when characters refer to her.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
It was one fine morning with a cloudless sky, or well, as fine as it can be; after all, you're currently stranded on a massive unknown island with a few of your friends, both old and new.
It all started when you went out to go shopping but got stopped by Lumine and her party members, who just so happened to be your friends.
I mean, it wasn't all that odd if you were being honest; after all, you traveled together with her for a bit before settling down somewhere near Qiaoying Village.
"Y/N!" Paimon exclaimed. You turn to your side and see Paimon waving her hands vigoriously at you, with Lumine herself giving a small wave. "Oh, L— Hotaru! Paimon! How're you guys doing?" You say, walking over to them.
"Wha, Paimon greeted you first, but you greet Hotaru first, hmph," Paimon pouted.
Chuckling, you pat Paimon on the head and offer half-hearted apologies.
"You..hmph! You still aren't forgiven. Paimon will only forgive the person named Y/N if they treat Paimon to a delicious meal!"
"Hey now, don't use this as an excuse for me to feed that bottomless stomach of yours!"
Lumine giggles at your guys interaction and decides to step in lest this escalate further.
"Y/N, would you like to join me and my party on a short adventure?"
Turning your head to focus on Lumine, you say, "Hm? An adventure?"
"Yup! y'know..for old times sake?" she says, looking at you with pleading eyes.
Rubbing your neck nervously, you respond to her, "Sorry, but I've already given up on that whole adventuring thing."
‘Or rather, I’m too afraid to take the risk of dying since the Statue of the Seven doesn’t heal me, and the food also doesn’t work like it does in-game.’
"Aww, come on, just this once, please!" Paimon pleads.
Lumine, however, steps in to stop Paimon. "Paimon, we should let it go. If Y/N doesn't want to come, then we should respect their decision."
"But.."
"I'm sure Y/N also has their own reasons for giving up adventuring, and as their friend, we shouldn't overstep that boundary."
"Aww..I guess..But it really is too bad. I was so excited to travel with them again, but I guess I'll have to give up on that idea," Paimon says, doing her usual unintentional guilt tripping.
Starting to feel bad for Paimon, you offer a proposal: "Fine, fine, I'll join you, but only if you promise this will be the last time and you'll treat me to a nice, delicious meal after!"
"DEAL!" Paimon squeals.
'Aha..I have a feeling this will come out of my own pockets..' Lumine sweatdrops
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"Ahem, everyone, please pay attention!" Paimon says in an overly formal tone.
"We have a new member joining us! Ahem, meet..L/N Y/N!"
You give a small, awkward wave to the group.
A man with the air of a noble man steps up and offers a handshake. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mx. L/N. I am Xingqiu."
"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Xingqiu." You shake his hand.
"That man eating a popsicle is my best buddy, Chongyun." Xingqiu steps closer to you and whispers, "He loves spicy food, so if you feel like you can't stomach anything spicy, feel free to give it to him." Stepping away, he gives a sly smile.
The light blue-haired man, Chongyun, having previously heard what Xingqiu whispered, was quick to retort, "Please don't believe his words; I cannot handle anything spicy. If anything, I prefer cold food. Or well, it's not like I have a choice anyway," he says, mumbling the last part.
"And I'm Gaming, although I'm sure you already know that, unless.. you've somehow already forgotten about me despite meeting yesterday." Gaming gives his signature smile.
"Huh?" Paimon looks confused and looks around. "Hmmm..Oh! Xiangling!"
"Where is she?!"
"Eh, she was just here earlier..!" It seems even Xingqiu and Chongyun didn't notice her go off on her own.
And cue to you guys running around Qiaoying Village, trying to look for Xiangling.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"Ehehe~ guys, look! I've gotten sooo much more delicious ingredients!"
All of you sigh collectively upon finding Xiangling foraging for more "ingredients," if you could even call half of them that.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
After making sure everything you guys needed was packed and ready, you began to set off.
Jumping from one ruin to another in search of the unknown, unaware that something "unknown" has been following you the whole time
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"Guys, is it just me, or does it feel like we're being watched?" you ask.
"I don't see anything," Paimon shrugs.
Lumine hands you a waterskin, her gaze thoughtful. "Maybe you're just tired? We've been hopping from ruin to ruin with barely any rest after all."
"That and the fact that we've been going around in circles looking for a way back home." Xingqiu adds.
"Right... It is strange though.." Turning his head, he asks Lumine "Traveler. Have you encountered a ruin like this before?"
Lumine shakes her head. "I've been inside a dozen that change interiors, but I've never been to one that transports you to a random island upon entering."
"Agh... All this thinking is making Paimon hungry…"
"Speaking of, it's about time for us to eat supper, right? I'll whip something up real quick!"
Xiangling, excited to finally have an opportunity to cook, immediately ran off to find a few ingredients. "Ah, I'll go after her. It's not safe around to be alone." Chongyun follows after Xiangling. Both of them disappearing into the nearby woods.
"Then, I'll help set up camp." Gaming pulls out the camping gear and begins to set it up.
Closing his book, Xingqiu offers to stand guard while you guys set up camp.
"Ugh, that so-called chivalric warrior... He's no help! He's just off pretending to stand guard when all he'll do is read his books."
"Not like you'll be much help either, Paimon."
"Wha—who said that?! Hotaru, was it you!?"
Lumine puts up a cross and aggressively shakes her head no.
"Hmmm...Then..." Paimon's eyes fall on you. "Gasp, Y/N, how could you!"
Picking up a crate, you turn to Paimon obliviously "Eh? Me? Oh, surely not! I could never!"
"You…"
Slowly backing away from the "angered" Paimon, you defend, "Now, now, our dearest emergency food, Paimon. I didn't mean it."
"Paimon is not emergency food!" Paimon exclaims, starting the chase.
Still with a crate on your hands, you begin to run, or rather, jog away from Paimon.
"H-Hotaru! Help me..! The emergency food is turning crazy!" Despite seeing you screaming for help, Lumine just idly watches, her eyes warm, as if she's recalling a distant memory.
"Ah—!" Tripping over a rock, you await the feeling of the cold, hard floor, but what greets you is... 'This...feels like...air? ' Opening your closed eyes, you see gloved hands saving you from your otherwise ungraceful fall.
"You can get up now, you know," your savior remarks.
"Ah, right, ahem... Thank you, Xiao."
"Xiao!? How'd you get here?!" Paimon exclaims.
However, instead of answering, Xiao seems to just stare at Paimon.
Hiding behind Hotaru, who was now nearby, Paimon pushes Lumine forward. "Uh…Y'know what…Hotaru, you go ask him."
Giving her a side eye, Lumine repeats Paimon's earlier question.
"...I...I just happened to be nearby; there were a few monsters setting up camp."
A lie. There was not a single monster camp in at least 5 kilometers of your area. Well, not that you and your group knew that.
Hearing the rush of footsteps, everyone turns to the sound, only to find Xingqiu, quite haggardly, rushing to you guys.
Almost crashing onto Lumine and Paimon, he stops in his tracks, frantically asking, "What happened!? I…" He catches his breath. "I heard screaming."
All of you collectively (with the exception of Xiao) give him a deadpan look. "Wow~ You're quite late to the party, Xingqiu. What if some bandits had arrived? Our bodyguard seems to be bad at his job."
Pulling out what seems to be treasure hoarder insignias, "Well, as it turns out, there were bandits, and I, your ever chivalric warrior, took them down," Xingqiu defends.
Maybe it was the current situation, or maybe it was because treasure hoarders are seemingly everywhere, but none of you seemed to notice how there was no one but your group on this island and that there were, in fact, no treasure hoarders.
Not long after, the duo, Xiangling and Chongyun, who had run off earlier, came back with quite the large haul. Safe to say, no one's going to bed with an empty stomach.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
It was the next day, meaning that your adventure had almost reached its end.
Turns out, this strange unknown island you're currently stranded on recently appeared a little southeast of Guyun Stone Forest.
The Crux Fleet had been sent to investigate; luckily, you guys managed to make contact; however, there was a barrier preventing entry and exit, and it would take a while to remove, so you guys had to sit there for a while waiting for rescue.
Xingqiu's POV
Picking up an unfamiliar book dropped on the ground, I open it.
'I wonder who this belongs to..This dust cover has quite the unique design..'
Removing the dust cover, I admire the front and back cover and the spine of the book.
'How intriguing..' Slowly opening the book, I was about to start reading when Chongyun's voice suddenly appeared behind me.
"What're you doing?"
"Ah, nothing, just the usual, you know, reading."
"..How suspicious.."
"Oh my dear Chongyun, what could be suspicious about me reading"
"Hm..I suppose you're right.."
"Or, maybe he is suspicious. I've seen that book before in Y/N's house" Gaming suddenly joins in from God knows where
"What're you three doing?" Xiangling joins in from around the corner.
"Uhm, guys, can you not surround me?" I sweatdropped.
In a corner of my mind, I can feel someone almost say, "Hmph. Mortals truly can't keep their hands to themselves, huh?". How weird; the voice is familiar. Oh, well, it must just be my conscience.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"A-hem! How about we just take a quick peek, just a really quick one, yeah? Then I'll put it right back where I found it."
"And where exactly did you find that book?"
"The ground"
"Eek! Xingqiu, I thought you knew better! Don't you know that picking up random unknown things increases the chance of a curse or a vengeful spirit appearing?!"
"...Ahah...I don't think you should be the one saying that, Xiangling, considering you do just that daily."
"Well, uh, technically, I know what I'm picking up, so it doesn't count!"
"Don't worry, guys, we have Chongyun right here. I'm sure you'd help us ward off evil, right, buddy?" I smile.
"Mhm. Although, I would like to see an evil spirit for once... But don't worry, as long as I'm here, I can guarantee your guys safety."
End of Xingqiu's POV

There were barely any legible words save for a few sentences here and there.
"Aww, is this about Y/N's love life!?" Xiangling exclaims, clearly excited and invested.
"Guys, I don't think we should be reading this. This seems private."
"I second that."
"I agree."
"Eh…I mean, I suppose you're all right, but can I just read one more? Just one more line, please?" she pleads.
Everyone shares a look, nodding.
"Just one more won't hurt."
As much as they want to drop this book and return it, they're all equally invested.
After all, Y/N's existence is quite mysterious. They just seemingly appeared out of nowhere, traveling alongside the Traveler, and chose to settle down in Liyue after some time.
People just assumed they were a runaway noble from somewhere, seeing as they seemed to have quite a lot of mora to their name, but there were no records of them anywhere. Much less news of a runaway noble.
Looking at the book again, they all began reading the next line.
No words were uttered; everyone knew that this story does not have a happy ending.
But maybe, it'll turn around in the next passage. They continue to hope.

"Hurry...! WHAT'D HE SAY?!"
"Ah, it cut off…" Xingqiu announces.
"WHAT?" they all simultaneously exclaim.
"You're lying; it can't be."
"Surely not."
"You must be jesting; let me see."
Staring at the illegible words, they try to decipher the next words, but no matter how much they look and stare, they cannot decipher it.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Dejected, they close the book, and just as they were about to put it back where it belonged, you peeked outside the tent, asking, "Have you guys seen a book with, like... uhm, a unique design…?"
Surprised by your sudden appearance, they panic and try to act as normal as possible. Scrambling their words, Gaming steps up, "Ah, is it this one? I saw it lying on the ground earlier. I was asking the others if it was theirs."
"Ah, yes! It is that one."
Handing it to you, Gaming says, "Be careful not to lose it next time."
"Mhm, I will. Thank you, Gaming."
You go back inside the tent.
"Hey... You do know I was the one who found it, right?"
"Hmm... Well, would you rather risk getting found out that we read it, or me stepping up to cover it up?"
"…The latter…"
"Thought so."
"Well, look at the bright side. There wasn't a curse or vengeful spirit, and we got to know more about Y/N!"
"That's right, let's just hope they never find out we read through it…"
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Meanwhile..
"Hmph. Mortals truly can't keep their hands to themselves, huh?"
"However, that book is just a collection of songs," Xiao grumbles.
"How foolish of them to think it's about you." He turns to you, organizing the things inside your travel bag.
"Oh please, you thought it was about me too when you read it before."
Ignoring your response, "Are you going to tell them the truth, too?"
"Hmm... No. I think it'd be fun if they didn't know."
"Despite your appearance, you're quite mischievous."
"Am I?"
"No one but you would purposefully write in another worldly language and write only certain specific words in Teyvat language."
"I suppose… But hey, life in Teyvat gets boring at times, you know? Plus, writing it ensures I don't forget the music of my world.

Xiao
✧ The boy mainly plays shooters and fighting games. He has a skill. He doesn't even have to try and kills go on and on and on...
✧ He is not interested in numbers on the channel and basically doesn't care about all the activity on the Internet. You're the one who talked him into it and you take care of the technical side. You edit videos or set things up for streams. You also moderated the comments before things got bigger.
✧ You occasionally walk by the screen but you've never shown your face. Fans often ask Xiao to tell who is next to him because they see him turn his head towards you. He always denies, saying that no one, because you don't want to be the envy of his fans and he has a lot of them.
✧ He gets mad when things don't work out but that's rare. He'd smashed the keyboard once or twice but only when he was playing for himself and nobody saw him.
✧ Die-hard PC guy. Doesn't accept consoles or smartphones.
✧ He wears sweatshirts all the time and they all look alike. Black and green are the only colours in his wardrobe.
✧ Disappears after streams very quickly. There are no goodbyes, he just turns off the camera and it's dark.
Kamisato Ayato
✧ King of ASMR. He often gets comments that he helps people fall asleep. His voice is so famous that he has given it to characters in several animations. Fans keep begging and sending him new stories to read on as podcasts.
✧ Ayato is rich but few people know it. Pretty good at hiding his private life from his fans.
✧ His sister appeared on Q&A episodes and absolutely won people's hearts. So much so that they asked her to take over his channel. And indeed, for a week he gave it into her care.
✧ You appear in some videos in the form of a hand. Sometimes you wave, other times you give him food. People are consumed by curiosity about what you look like. Kamisato always says with a laugh that he won't show you because someone else will steal you from him.
✧ Bobba tea is his brand. It reigns in many fanarts from viewers and he often drinks it on streams. Several companies wanted to work with him but he gently declined to maintain impartiality.
✧ Sometimes he plays strategy games but it's side content. Rather, he focuses on working with his voice as he is always busy. In addition to being a youtuber, he also has his own business and lacks time for other forms of work.
Kaeya Alberich
✧ Plays Genshin Impact and simps to most characters. He started shortly after the premiere and since then he has been completely absorbed.
✧ When you appeared on the screen, he already knew he was going to wish for you. All the fans watched with fascination how much he was excited about you. Unfortunately, he lost 50/50. That's why he did a weekly primogems gathering with the viewers to hit the guarantee. He got you on the last day of your banner and he was happy.
✧ Even if the current meta has eclipsed your character, he still has a three crowns on you and plays you on Abyss, just to show that he can do it.
✧ He wears a pirate headband for fun. Fans speculated that he might have a sick eye but he denied it.
✧ He fights with his brother all the time. Diluc also has a channel and you can see the rivalry on both sides. They pretend to be adults but in reality they have race to a million subscribers and still get at each other. Fortunately, they live separately and rarely see each other.
✧ Quite an attentive person. He doesn't mind being number one on social media hashtags. He has accounts on every social media he knows. He will take the opportunity to enjoy the triumph with the viewers, especially if he wins an achievement.
Xianling
✧ She runs a cooking channel. In addition, she travels a lot and records vlogs about cuisines from around the world.
✧ Her channel's mascot is Guoba. The bear has been standing at the back of the kitchen since the first episode and that's how it stayed. After some time, in the refreshed version, she ordered it as a stuffed animal for her store so that fans could also buy it.
✧ She regularly asks you to appear on the show with her. You make her fans happy with your relationship. They do compilations with your legendary flour wars.
✧ The girl creates unique compositions. She is known for using exotic ingredients in her dishes. She often combines them in an unusual way.
✧ She can eat a chili pepper without drinking antyhing after. Nobody knows how she does it. The video with this trick already has several million views.
✧ Xianling is planning on opening her own restaurant after flying around a few more countries. You promised to help find cooks and the number of CVs sent already scares you.
