summary: for the first time, kazuha considers staying

it’s hot. even the breeze that blows is warm; which makes the tension in the air between you and the inazuma samurai. you both sit in the grass wordlessly, deep in thought. your eyes wander to his hands, covered in bandages. his hands were always covered in small cuts from his sword — you had become his personal doctor, patching up the small cuts.

you gently hold his hand in yours, cleaning a cut on his index finger. you look up to meet his gaze and notice a small grin on his face.

“what?” you ask, returning your eyes back to his hand. “it seems you find something about this funny.”

“no,” he chuckles. “not… funny, per se. it’s just… we’ve gotten to know each other quite well even though we only see one another when i’m in here.”

“mmm,” you hum, securing the bandage on his finger. “so your recklessness is the source of our friendship?”

“i guess,” he says, the grin not fading.

you pause for a moment, his hand in yours. you look at the small scars on his hands. many of them were probably from him missing his own sheath, but you could tell some of them had stories.

“honestly, i do try to be more careful but… it doesn’t seem to work.” he says, pulling his hand away. his eyes shift away from you.

now, you’d do anything to see that grin one more time. you hated yourself for taking that dumb grin for granted.

“is this where we part ways?” he asks softly.

you can’t bring yourself to look at him. “i think so.”

he stands up, wiping his hands on his pants before outstretching his hand towards you. you grab it, and finally look at him. his words were so sad and left your heart feeling so heavy, yet the soft look on his face stayed unchanged.

“i hate that our last moments together feel so sad… it feels quite tragic, no?” he holds onto your hand, squeezing it.

“it’s hard to make departing feel happy.” you whisper.

he takes you into his arms, holding you tighter than ever before. “i’m sorry things ended up this way.”

after a few moments, he lets you go. he looks at you like he’s taking in every detail; a mental picture that he can look at whenever he yearns to feel your warmth. and then he finally starts to walk away.

however, it’s only a few steps. he stops in his tracks, and for a brief moment you think he’ll turn back around for one final embrace. but he keeps his back to you. “tell me to stay.” he says.

“what?”

“tell me to stay, and i’ll stay.”

you want him to stay. every fiber of your being is telling you to say the word. let him know that you want him here. but it’s all too selfish. he had chosen to leave even after you met him. it was a choice you had to respect. he had things to do, places to see, and you unfortunately couldn’t join him. so you take a deep breath and close your eyes, and hope that he’ll be gone when you open them.

and he is.

It hurts but it hurts so good

—TO CONQUER, TO FREE. xiao pairing. xiao x gn! reader word count. 647 genre. light angst, light fluff, hurt/comfort warnings. mentions of killings (related to xiao’s past), spoilers for xiao’s backstory

nothing. absolutely nothing is wrong with you. —h.l

something most people in liyue don’t know is that xiao has loved you for thousands of years.

they knew that the adeptus has something akin to affection for you, all this time. but an adeptus like him can’t love, right? what do the adepti know about love anyway?

sure, the prime of the adepti, morax, has loved liyue more than anyone can ever imagine. the half-qilin ganyu has learned to find love between the gaps and spaces among the dwellers of liyue. the adepti has shaped the mountains and carved the moon and retained the clouds, all for the love of liyue.

but xiao?

xiao, the conqueror of demons, the golden-winged king… xiao is incapable of love. liyue knows this. xiao knows this. you know this.

the yaksha has slaughtered countless others, blood staining his skin permanently and it seeps through his flesh. how could he ever know how to love?

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit...

tw: cheating

[ 22:25 ] if loving kaeya was hard enough, then learning to unlove him was just as much.

it hits you like a bullet at random times of the day. memories you thought you have already buried in the deepest part of your mind pierces your skin and strikes directly to your heart. soften fragments of him and everything that had to do with him haunting your mind, like an annoying ghost you couldn't exorcise. his sweet words poisoning your mind to no end, the places on your body that he once touched kept burning your skin.

but was it so wrong to still want him despite it all?

(it is.)

there was a tiny part of you that regretted ever walking away, the you who still believed in him—the you who's still intoxicated with his destructive love. and you had to clench your fists to the point they're cloudy white to ground yourself that it's for the better, digging your feet into the earth to prevent yourself from running back to his cold unloving arms.

you had to remind yourself again and again that kaeya does not deserve you after everything he had done, for breaking you to the point you believed you're can't be fixed. for burning your soul to ashes with the heat of his touch that had grown cold. for drowning you in his ocean of lies, dragging you to the very bottom without letting you breathe.

you had to remind yourself that choosing to end your ties with him was better than letting him ruin you even further than he already had, and that you were not at fault that he chose to love someone else when he already had you in the very beginning.

you did nothing wrong.

you gave him everything you had and more. you just simply loved him more than he ever did to you, and there was nothing wrong with that. it's not wrong to miss the kaeya you once loved. it's not wrong to let your heart break and cry for him for now because you know, in time, it will heal itself back up.

and when you start to understand, these memories of him that revisit you will stop becoming haunted. you'll stop wanting it, him, back. the distant images only becomes a reminder that not everything that seems attached on you is for you. and everything will become easier when you have come to terms that you deserve better, that it is only right for you to walk away.

you decided that this isn't an ending, but rather a revolution. a better beginning, a redirection. like finding a map after a year of being lost—on him.

helloo, i have a question po. if kaeya is at c1, is it better to build him as a physical dps or a cryo dps?

hii :3 let me just send some ss so everyone can read coz i might not exaplain it well JSHE

personally i think the 4pc set of blizzard strayer can utilize his c1 very well and here are the reasons

just with these, he can reach the minimum of 70% crit rate, the stats of both the artifact and weapon isn't even included here.

so i think it would be obvious that the most suitable build for a c1 kaeya is 4pc blizzard strayer. just slap him with another cryo char and hydro chars to fully utilize the effect of the resonance and passives of the artifact

i hope this helps :3

✧ Introduction Part 1

Series >> Teyvat Streamers

Featuring: Diluc, Childe, Kaeya and Zhongli

Synopsis: Them as streamers

Warnings: Curses, Violence, Mentions of Death, and Murder.

DILUC

Yes, everyone's dark knight in shining armor. Is known as "Master Diluc" and "Darknight_Hero" but his username is "Ragnvindr" because darknight hero sounds like a 12 year old roblox name.

Holding over 6 mil subs on both Youtube and Twitch — Diluc's got the heart of his subscribers and followers.

His channel mainly focuses on teaching his viewers mix drinks and gaming — which is everyone's favorite.

Even though he's a stoic and a calm man, he cares for everyone — forcing his viewers to sleep when he streamed too late or his streams is on a different time because ya know, time zones.

His gaming streams are really rare, sometimes playing games that his brother recommended to him but it's PRETTY RARE.

Get's really flustered when someone donated an edit of him — and his brother uses that against him.

One of his fan requested him to say the audio "Oh no! Our table, it's broken!" And he did that with no emotion.

#unbotheredredheadedking

Would win every YLYL challenges if he's with his brother — he refuses to let his guard down.

Once did a cooking stream with his brother — almost burned the whole kitchen.

"Kaeya?! WHY WOULD YOU TURN THE HEAT UP?! THE HOUSE IS GONNA BURN!"

*cue kaeya acting like a DJ with Diluc is in shambles"

CHILDE

Hmm Everyone's favorite menace — Childe! Also known as "Tartaglia" but people don't call him that cause it's "too long".

The rich, handsome, ultimate malewife that everyone wants.

His channel is mainly on PVP, games with murder, dark lore, and horror — also does a charity streams once in a while.

I kid you not — this man definitely plays Yandere Simulator, DDLC, Undertale and FNAF.

(also a whaler for genshin but that's for another story✋)

His streams are basically 'playing a random game while disturbing Diluc and Zhongli with Kaeya'

Charity streams are once in a year — often playing Minecraft while people spawn random mobs and things for him.

And yes! The horror games! Everyone likes his horror streams!

"Alright we found a key! We're doing great progress comrades!-- Oh? thank you 'Anonymous101' for the hundred bits! I appreciate it-- AAAAAA WTF WHERE DID THAT CAME FROM?!!"

Speaking of the devil, his fan interactions is funny too!

someone tweeted: I wonder what Childe's hands do?😩

his answer: Choking you to death :) /j

The streamer everyone loves but still slanders him anyways.

KAEYA

The streamer everyone's willing to bark — and he loves it. Everyone knows him by "Kaeya" while his username is sometimes "Elsa 2.0" and "Hot_Cavalry_Captain"

Diluc's official Nightmare

His streams focuses on him bullying Diluc, games (specially otome games) and him flirting with characters.

Purposely played Obey Me! for Asmodeus (bet that they can relate to each other)

Mans also played Doki Doki because he thought Yuki was "beautiful" not knowing the lore.

"She used my pen on what??" He was so shocked that he stopped playing the game for a month✋

He definitely acts hot all the time so his fans would make more thirst edits of him (also to appreciate and help them improve their talents)

He also wears his iconic top with the boobie window, mans like teasing his viewers.

The type to rage quit (hot version)

"OH MY FUCKING GOSH WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!" with his raspy voice omfl😩

Would do this boyfriend asmr(s) for 'fun purposes'

Actually gets banned from Twitter by his flirty remarks. (Is that even possible?💀)

ZHONGLI

First started his channel as a 'story teller'

They call him Zhongli while his username is "Rex Lapis"

He started gaining more views and subscribers when he played 'poppy playtime'

*cue him gasping so hot omfg*

"Oh, did i go the wrong way?-- *gasp* What was that..."

Actually has theories for the game

After that, his viewers would try to get him to play more horror games — and it ends up to him finishing it explaining his theories, that some of it ends up true💀

A god at Geoguessr

This man will take a good 1-20 seconds looking at the place and will instantly say "This place is in Inazuma!"

Has no face cam — this man is broke, and he uses his hot voice to gain more mora.

When he got enough mora for a face cam — he immediately did a YLYL challenge that is requested by his viewers.

His little laughs and snorts would make the chat go brrr

This man is the total package. Hot, Sexy, Handsome, and Has a deep voice?! Don't mind me clicking the subscribe button.

Lineart

When i first started drawing i was really into art styles that involved line art. Line art is an easy way to get the figure out and the open and can really make it easier to build up the figure, coloring and details. There are many different ways to draw/paint a piece but for now i want to talk about line art, how it works and different ways it can be used.

I always see people talk about how much they hate line art but honestly i love it. To improve your line art you will need line confidence, line thickness, line color, and line suggestion.

First is line confidence to achieve this you need to STOP drawing scratchy/hairy lines. This is when you draw multiple tiny lines to create the figure. Do not be afraid of your own lines, you need to draw long smooth lines. When I’m drawing on tablet program such as procreate a thing that can help is putting streamline up to max, it will help control my lines to make them less wiggly and i can draw long smooth lines with ease. For pc users you need to use control z more or use the eraser more to help fix some mistakes. Also just drawing traditionally can help immensely. Grab some sheets of paper and do daily warms up of drawing straight lines in a fast but controllable pace, drawing circles and swirls can help as well. Make a habit of using your elbow more for big lines, it gives more control

For line thickness when the lines converge try and add fatter lines where they merge. Adding lines to creases and crevices will add more depth to the drawing. When it comes to details in the piece use thinner finer lines. On procreate you can adjust the pressure curve of your pen to help you out when you’re transfering to lighter or darker line weights.

Also another little tip when drawing something and you want to express that an items closer to the view point then another then darken the lines. The front has darker lines the back has finer lines.

Lineart can also help with understanding where the lighting of the piece is coming from, where ever the darker lines lay thats where the shadow belongs, where the finer lines are layed is where the light is hitting.

For linecolor it can help alot with your look and perspective. So for an example if a item is far away in the background you can change it into a slightly lighter color to convey that. Lighten and darken your values to add more to the persepective of your drawing. Also you can change the color of your lineart so for example your character has lighter skin then give them a pinkish type of lineart, the character has blonde hair give them a blondish orange type of lineart for their hair. You just need to tint it a little never have lineart just be pitch black, add some colors to it like brown, blue pink and red.

Lastly line suggestion is when you use lines in a different way to show the viewer that what they’re looking at isn’t just a straight object. So An example of this is a curved surface, to give it some volume u need to suggest it, so by adding tiny lines and details. This will give it a look as if its a curving or round object and not just a solid blocky one. This can also help with folds in clothings and clothes. So if the fold is inwards you create lines inside the fold then as the lines are reaching the end out of the the fold they fade out. An example of this will be in the bottom the best way i can explain this look is like hatching.

I will show you examples down below of a few of my line art related works and i will show you what setting i have on my procreate. When doing line art i like using the dry ink brush because it adds a lot of depth very easily. I use to use the soft hair brush and i still think its good because it helps a lot with line value. Also this is optional but i love to duplicate my line art layer then gaussian blurring it, lower the opacity to around 30. It just gives it a more softer look.
