(Found these in my drafts from 2018!! Isn’t that crazzyyy!?)
SOoooo... I know I took a SUPER long hiatus from this story, and most people probably don’t even use Tumblr anymore (including me haha) but I’ve missed this story and interacting with all of you. I’ve missed it way too much.
Guys...
Wingspiral changed my life in so, so many ways. I was some depressed lonely teen. And yet... Dozens of people voluntarily collaborated with me on specials that I wrote myself, I got hundreds of beautiful fanart that I still look at and smile about to this day, and my generous backers on Patreon made it possible for a broke college student in Manhattan to eat lol. I received plushies of my characters as gifts, fan letters, free equipment to continue my work, and met people I still think about daily. For all that and more, I am eternally grateful. I owe it to you guys to finish this, not matter how long it takes! Sabe, Dust, and Rubi still have a long way to go with us, guys! :)
Honestly...
I wasn’t too happy with the start of Lake Luawaga (The current chapter), and it’s one of the reasons I just... left. I felt like the writing was off and story was all over the place, and I could sense how confused you guys were lol. I was confused too. I thought I had a direction but... I didn’t. And it showed. Even now, I’m not sure how to pick it back up.
But...
I'm continuing Lake Luawaga!! Feel free to reread my previous chapters and holiday specials if you need a little refresher on Wingspiral lore! I hope I’m not too late, and whoever stuck around for 7 years, god... thank you. I’m sorry if I’ve let you down, but not this year. This year, I’ve still got 2k+ amazing followers, a new determination, and a beautiful heartfelt story to continue, so let’s GOOO!
p.s. Send in any asks I can use on the next update, or suggestions for me. Peace and love! And happy 10 year anniversary to Wingspiral! (Geez I’m old)
This my entry for @stonemonkeh ‘s Anniversary Raffle! Have a great Anniversary!
This is Zhong, my LMK inspired celestial monkey/Red Baboon or Red Buttocked Horse Monkey/Chikao Mahou OC.
I was a bit worried that his red muzzle wouldn’t stand out from the red fur but I did add some orange to his fur and that seemed to do the trick. Also, they do have one black pupil in their right eye while the other is a grey/white to represent the Yin & Yang concept to the character. And I really like how it came out!
If anyone wants to enter, go to @stonemonkeh blog to see their Raffle post! Base for the plushie belongs to them as well.
Note: I originally did not include Xiao because I wasn’t very confident with him, but at this point I’m just gunna have fun with it. I originally started this cause I thought it’d be cute and fun to write, so I hope sharing it with everyone just brightens up your day or some cheesy thing XD

Diluc
Is very focused on his task, but when night falls he can’t seem to get a proper sleep. Tossing and turning at the thought of you.
Often lays on his back at night thinking about what you must be doing right now.
Misses the way your hair tickles his nose whenever the two of you hug.
Sighs and finally tries to get some sleep after a whole hour of thinking of you.
Spots you in town just as he gets back. He feels like he’s frozen in time, seeing your face again.
Fast walks towards you and scoops you into a sudden hug, all he says as he buries his face in your hair is “I’m home,”
Kaeya
Is starting to get impatient. He didn’t expect the whole thing to be so long.
Is counting the days since he last saw you. Tells himself he’ll just think of an excuse to abandon the assignment if it takes longer than a week. In the end he still stays to finish the job for another 2 weeks.
Feels like a part of him is missing and doesn’t have the usual mischievous glint in him. In fact, the other knights thinks he’s rather irritable lately.
He comes back in the dead of the knight and cannot wait till the morning to see you. Knocks on your door, knows that you’re sleeping so keeps on knocking.
You emerge from the door sleepy and confused but he welcomes himself in, “It’s me,” so as not to alarm you that it’s some kind of creep. He picks you up, and rolls into bed with you, “I’m not leaving your side for the rest of the month,” and dozes off with you
Albedo
Is subtly pissed that his research in the cold mountains had taken more time than expected
Keeps on thinking he should’ve taken you with him.
Wonders how worth it this research is versus not seeing you for weeks.
Notices that his concentration is poor, it keeps on drifting back to thoughts of you. At one point he starts sketching your face by memory.
When he finally finishes his research he comes back to town and visits your house. When you open the door his expression changes to that of slight surprise. You welcome him back and ask if he’s okay.
“...No, I... Was just taken aback by how happy I felt,”
Childe
Is obviously pissed that it had taken this long.
He hasn’t had his dose of Y/N for weeks and it was driving him--and his subordinates--crazy. His men was under the constant wrath of his cold looks and pointed glares.
Thinks that he should just kill everyone--subordinates included--to speed things up.
Finally completes his task and runs straight to you. “Y/N!” when he spots you out in town. Bear hugs you, and spins you around once in sheer delight.
Mood does a complete 180 and is now all smiles, but secretly whispers in your ear “Clear up your schedule tonight, we’re gunna have to make up for all that time lost,”
Zhongli
Appears calm and collected in front of others. When in truth he’s thinking about how you’re doing and wonders if you’re taking care of yourself.
Whoever he’s talking to asks if he’s alright cause he has this far off look on his face.
“Hm? Yes, I heard everything. I apologize, my morning routine here is not as adequate as it is back home, hence my slight preoccupation.”
He just meant to say that he hasn’t had his morning kisses and hugs for way.too.freakin.long
Appears in front of you when he’s finally done and has travelled back. Doesn’t make a move to hug you but studies your features carefully, caressing your cheek with the back of his hand.
“I was afraid I’d start forgetting how you looked like but... even centuries would not make me forget such beauty,”
Xiao
99% focused. The 1% is you swimming around in his mind. By the first week, his concentration has dropped to 90%.
Is not sure whether he’s more annoyed by the fact that he’s not concentrating or that he’s been away for far too long.
Keeps on thinking that you’d better not have gotten yourself into some type of trouble while he’s away.
Keeps on stopping every once in a while to strain his ears and wondered if you’ve called his name.
Once back, he’s surprised by the hug-bordering-on-tackle you give him. You say that you were worried he wasn’t going to come back.
He returns the hug with one hand, “What am I going to do with you? I’ll always come back as long as I know you’re waiting,”
