i love miko's teasing and confidence like you do, but her kindness underneath that really melts my heart :) i see a lot of the fandom calling her cruel and mean, but she's way kinder than people give her credit for- the way she talks to ei in euthymia gets me every time š she's so sweet and loyal, and she offers help to other characters all the time even when she doesn't have to (even though she likes to tease as she does it). i also really like her loneliness that you can see in certain lines (in her story quest when she talks about much paimon cares for the traveller she says "hm, i'm a little jealous. i wish my friends were caring like that" with a sigh). i like to think she has abandonment issues because i have them and i'm dragging all my favourite characters down with me šŖ
ooh do you like star rail too?? :0 i just started playing it yesterday, who are your favourites?
also itto's voice actor is so good haha, he makes every line so fun
-šāā¬
Agreed, though I admit I wasn't paying attention to her kindness (nor the concept of loneliness, either) back then, years ago, when I did the Inazuma archon quests... nor did I fully explore every lore piece about her. Not long ago on tumblr, I saw a post that highlighted her kindness, when she personally offered a samurai war veteran to come to the shrine, to soothe his trauma a bit (a conversation they have on a notification board).
Speaking of loneliness... well, her only close friend (Ei) spends 24/7 of her time in her own realm, so... š¶
I did a quick search about abandonment issues and, although she doesn't seem (to me, and with my current knowledge of her) to have them... perhaps she simply doesn't show them. After all, somewhere in the Teyvat Travel Guide, you can basically read that Alice (Klee's mother) once managed to make (at the time, possibly younger) Yae cry (!)... so she probably set up an emotional wall from this point on, teasing people to keep them in check, and to assert dominance, so she wouldn't be in a weak situation again š¤
(funfact, upon finding out about that, that's when she really began to pique my attention beyond her design... out of relatability for the protective emotional wall, and the ease of teasing/joking around, but to make people smile or laugh, not to make them uneasy or to take advantage of them)
Technically it seems I've been playing it for exactly 1 year and 1 day as of tonight (got an achievement yesterday for 365 days). However, it's only since 5-6 months that I got increasingly more invested into it... The rest of the time, I just did the daily activities to stack up pulling items, but never more than that (I have several hundreds of thousands of Trailblaze points thanks to that, lol).
As for my favourites... I'd say Ruan Mei (even though I didn't like, nor completely dislike her, at first, ironically), Asta, Welt, Black Swan, Tingyun, Misha (or Furino as I nickname him š¤), eventually Aventurine (not just because of the Topaz & Clara EN VA's simping for him lol), and more recently, Robin (Kamisato Ayaka expy?)... What about yours? š
He pretty much makes me grin every time he shows up for an event or cutscene š
"Oh? Everyone's here...!?"
thank you for doing my request!! i actually tried making dango with my best friend once! ...it tasted like play dough...
these are so cute, i never thought of cooking with navia but now that will be leaving in my head rent free, she'd be so sweet and patient. i love itto's part too, he'd be so fun to cook with!
also fischl's dialogue was so funny, i was giggling the whole time š
thank you again for doing my request, i appreciate it :)
-šāā¬
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And such lore accuracy, if I may be so bold like a certain sly fox lady š
Navia is so precious indeed... As for Itto, it will certainly always be eventful when he's around š
And to think that, at first, I found her Fischl persona kind of annoying and thus I never built her... but the moment I found out that her splash art features the same pose as Hououin Kyouma/Okabe Rintarou from Steins;Gate... it was over (even more so after I started paying attention to loneliness traits in characters)
Since that time, I kind of gained the ability to fischl-talk... for the worse, or the better šæ
Anytime! And thanks for being a regular; feel free to send more requests if you have any (currently onto the latest one you sent, namely the prank war with Yae Miko) š
Hello people,
I can now write for the following characters š
Genshin Impact
Clorinde
Keqing
Shenhe
Honkai Star Rail
Sparkle
March 7th
Tingyun
As always, please check the rules/main post first before you submit a request, and have a nice day/night š
i had a fun request idea: reader getting into a prank war with yae miko >:) i like to think she'd be playful enough to join in and retaliate. i used to get up to a lot of pranks with my old coworkers and by far the funniest was hiding then jumping out and scaring each other- i think that would be a really funny prank to play on miko
-šāā¬
Oh she would definitely get her share of fun by retaliating, for once that someone is bold enough to just dare tease her in return š
It's common knowledge, at this point, that Yae Miko is among the biggest teasers in Teyvat
Witnessing all forms of reactions is a great source of entertainment for her, especially when your lifespan is longer than the one of humans
But the rarest, and most exquisite of them, is when her interlocutor purposely dares to tease back
For her, this is akin to a declaration of (prank) war, and she certainly won't stop until you are the one admitting defeat... or begging her to stop, if you end up being so desperate
As a certain Aranara called Aranakin would put it: "this is where the fun begins"
One day, you felt brave enough to hide on the path leading to your home, as you invited her for your weekly tea time together
It was initially a spontaneous offer from you, but over time, it became a regular part of your weekly schedules, with each of you preparing the tea by turn
Naturally, you kept her in the dark regarding your true intentions for today, as you would usually wait for her to arrive, or come along with her
You suddenly emerged from behind the bushes as she passed by, causing her ears to twitch a little, but only out of surprise
It would take a lot more than that to scare her though
"My, my... Someone's feeling bold today. Were you trying to scare me, little one?"
With the same amount of confidence as always, she casually approached you, and slowly reached out for your chin, embracing it with her hand.
"I do hope, however, that you're fully aware of what you've just done... And I trust, of course, that you're ready to face unforeseen consequences, hmm?"
"Of course I am!"
"Very well, S/O. We shall see for how long you will be able to keep up."
She then releases your chin and moves back along on the path, as if nothing ever happened just now.
The rest of that day went as normal as always, and just like you kept her in the dark for the little surprise today, she's doing the same regarding all the ideas sprouting in her mischievous mind
Things are going to be eventful from now on
~~~~~~~~~~
One day, you were casually enjoying your time with her at the Grand Narukami Shrine
A shrine maiden requested her attention for some matters, thus leaving you alone in the room for a while
The prankster in you suggested to swap her current light novel in progress, with a blank empty one
She noticed it only after you left... thankfully
"That little rascal..."
~~~~~~~~~~
The following day happened to be your weekly tea time
Except that your cup is filled with what seems to be tea, as always... minus the taste, replaced by just hot water
"What the..."
"Is the tea not to your liking, little one? I prepared it like I always do."
"That's just... colored hot water!"
As you dared to say this, her eyes started to glow, while an Electro kitsune began peeking from behind her.
"Are you saying that you now dislike my tea? But you always praised it until tonight. Does that mean you've been fooling me all this time, S/O?"
Her stare turns more intense on you... until it all returns to normal, followed by a chuckle coming from her.
"You should have seen your face just now, that was quite the sight. I jest, of course~"
~~~~~~~~~~
You collapse exhausted on her laps, at the end of a long and tiring day
At this, she glances down at your weakened form and starts patting your head
"Dear me, how kind of you to use your remaining energy to come visit me, out of everything you could have done."
You hum gently at her words, while she scratches softly through your hairs to help you relax a little.
"After all, you know full well that I would never give you up, or let you down, or even run around and desert you. Likewise, I happen to know your boundaries, so I would never make you cry, say goodbye, tell a lie, or desert you."
Her smile increasingly grows into a smirk, as you process what you just heard, until it finally hits you.
"You..."
"What is it? If you're willing to discuss a truce, maybe you should rest first. After all, we don't want you to agree to my conditions without paying attention, mhh? I admit this would be pretty amusing though."
Considering your exhaustion, and knowing how she would set her conditions, you decide to wisely follow her advice, and consequently rest
You may not be safe from her little tricks, but alas, you will be safe in her near
And it's not a privilege she plans to remove through her truce's conditions
Thank you for reading! Link to main post
wait i just realized i already requested pretty much that exact idea like a few days ago š im so sorry i have a really bad memory
-šāā¬
GN S/O being comforted by Yae Miko/Lisa/Beidou during a bad depressive episode? š¤
Well, I also don't mind trying with Lisa and Beidou too! I can't guarantee having the same skills for them as with Yae Miko (that's basically the reason why I didn't mention them, but I'm not against writing any character in particular), though I can't be sure if I don't try, so...
Also, in your personal experience for the previous request I did (Yae Miko loneliness comfort), did the ambient music make it more immersive/enjoyable to read? š§
hello erwin, i hope you're well! may i please request reader (with a personality like hu tao/ei) who's dreadful at cooking trying to make something with whichever three characters you think would be funniest?
i've been thinking of this for a while and thought it would be really funny- i feel like cooking with a short tempered character or another character who's bad at cooking would be hilarious, but i'm curious to hear what you think! hope you have a good day :)
-šāā¬
I am, thanks; I hope you're well too, and have a good day as well š Considering the nature of this request, I shall try a different layout... although, I wasn't inspired in the same way for each of them, I hope you will like it still š¤
Oh boy...
Upon hearing about this kind of event, Yae Miko asked to assist you two
Officially, to be the judge who will taste the results (her sacrifice shall be remembered) but officiously, it's just to enjoy the show
Ei will be glad to have some social time with someone like her
The two of you decided to attempt preparing some Tricolor Dango Balls, hoping that a favourite snack would be more motivating, thus with higher chances of success
The result was... anything but that, not just because of the potato shapes, but also due to the, somehow, identical color for each of them
... and the lack of noticeable taste
At least, it doesn't look nor smell too much like poison
In any case, judge Yae Miko could still ask a certain Gorou to taste-try instead, as a gesture of "apology" for all the past teasing he got from her
When it comes to Hu Tao, you will naturally go along very well with her too, like with Ei
As for Ayato, it will be an original type of break from work
He's used to playing Genius Invokation TCG with Itto anyway, so he won't mind another form of curious... "originality"
They will both help you, even using your lack of knowledge as inspiration to try something new
Then will come the time to have a taste of the result... well, more like finding a guinea pig
It would be more fun interesting to receive exterior feedback, after all
Ayato naturally thought about Thoma (it wouldn't be the first nor last time)
As for Hu Tao, well... how about going for a stroll through Liyue Harbor? Surely there's a merchant out there in need of some mood boost, after losing a commercial contract to a competitor
They won't question how it's possible, they will instead selflessly teach you, all the while cooking the food at the same time, with patience and words of encouragement
Your bubbly reactions will be payment enough for them, making them feel pleased to have helped you
In the end, you'll enjoy the food together and they will invite you for another time
If never you believed that being dreadful at cooking was unusual, wait until you witness in person the ingredients used by Xiangling
It will help you put things into perspective
If she can cook something tasty without following the commonly-accepted culinary norms, then it means that you, too, can do it!
After seeing the non-negligible room for improvement you possess though... she suggested you to be her assistant instead, for this time
This way, she could show you now, and next time you'd do some practice (... with her help still)
You know, straight from the start, that it won't happen with ideal conditions
Not that he wouldn't help you, quite the contrary, the mood will be cheerful and optimistic despite all odds
It's just that the labels on the recipients he brought are gone... after he found himself dripping wet from falling in a lake... startled by one of Timmie's pigeons... trying to survive one more extra day
At some point, you wondered if this recipient was full of salt or baking soda
And later on, if that one was filled with cinnamon powder or black pepper
What's the worst that could happen anyway?
Barbara is used to regularly check on him, so one more or one less check up will not make much of a difference to her, at this point
"What... was the next step again? I... I forgot."
One good thing though: she doesn't mistake your bubbly behavior for being the one and only Hu Tao
Thankfully, Dr. Baizhu showed up to save the day... and also to prevent you from starving tonight
"What do you mean, you can't cook?"
"Now, compadre, lemme tell you: this is a sentence from the past! 'cause Arataki "Numero Uno Cheffo Supremo" Itto, here in the flesh, will teach you all there is to know!"
"Uh-huh, that's right! And after I show you how the pros do it, you'll make even the Raiden Shogun herself show up, to come taste your cooking! I'm talking from experience here, you know?
And if the smell isn't enough... well, I'll just throw papers into Tenshukaku again, it's no big deal."
Needless to say, Shinobu's 6th sense for incoming troubles triggered after hearing all that... and it didn't take long for the stove itself to be on fire
"Holy moly pepperoni, who summoned the Pyro Archon in here?! We don't even have any offerings ready! Shinobu, do something! Help!"
Your stomach will be full for the day... but your mind will have reached its monthly limit of speech-processing
If it wasn't for Oz translating everything she says into a less grand, more common (and understandable) form of language, then communication would have been more difficult
At least, she appreciates your efforts to converse with her, despite the... difference of style between you both
"I, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, shall assist thou in thy divine mission of fulfilling thy satiety by thyself"
"Thine ancient and forgotten recipes, from thy secret realms within thy depths of thy Immernachtreich, shall be revealed to thou on thy blessed day"
"Where thine clouds from thy evil forces of darkness, thine despicable enemies of light, will become disintegrated, as thou shall spread wide thine wings of culinary knowledge"
"Thus, beginning a new era in which thou shall be able to course thy own path, becoming a sovereign of eating preparation"
"A path where thy kitchen shall no longer be regarded as a place of everlasting, insurmountable hardship"
"What mein FrƤulein means to say is, she will gladly teach you how to cook"

"When we suppress our emotions, Our dreams are where they manifest themselves. My job is to help you digest those emotions."
i had another wanderer idea! fluff of platonic wanderer and reader petting cats together :-D i love the official art of him surrounded by a bunch of cats
-šāā¬
His birthday art, it would seem... Well, first he attracts the bird during his idle animation, now he attracts cats too? He's going to attract other animals in general, at this point š
Ambient music:
"Even after all this time, I still need to help you climb up there. Ever considered taking climbing lessons?"
"But why would I, when I have you? And honestly, it's far more convenient like that!"
"Stop it."
Aware of the hidden rule between you two that his patience mustn't be tested, you willingly remain quiet for the rest of the path, until he places you on a high tree branch.
"Looks like they've been waiting for you."
You barely spent a whole second sitting on the branch, and you could already hear some meows coming from nearby and, soon enough, their origin showing up in your view. All properly taken care of.
"They look so healthy, it's always a relief to see!"
"Hmph. Good for them."
You can't help but progressively glance at him, sitting further away, and giving you a rather gentle - for him - glare, all the while witnessing how your laps turn into fluffballs.
"You take care of them in secret, don't you? That must be it!"
"But some villagers could have done that too. You're not the only one who would willingly become their big prey."
"Riiiiight..."
You won't dig in further about it, but as food for thoughts, you will remember that he, technically speaking, did not deny it.
Just as his sight was recovering by looking elsewhere, and while your hands were busy providing some headpats, one brave cat began meowing toward the familiar-looking living scarecrow figure... with as much bravery as the puppet's lack of scaring effect, for those who got to know him.
"What does it want? Tsk. Just leave me alone already."
Despite his protest, the brave cat soon enough led the charge, resulting in not just his laps getting covered by fluffballs too, much to your awe.
"Fine, you won this time... Let's just get this over with."
As a cat enjoyer, you notice that he doesn't struggle with distributing headpats, nor do they go unnoticed by the fluffballs. You remain quiet, to let him enjoy this temporary yet genuine comfort moment, as brief as it may be.
The headpats demand increases on your laps, resulting in your attention being drawn away from him... much to his relief. The last thing he would want, is someone staring at him, right when he allows himself a break for once.
You know very well that he will deny enjoying that encounter, if asked later about it... but your eyes didn't lie to you, when you witnessed him subtly enjoying the felines' presence.
Thank you for reading! Link to main post
hiya, i love ur content!! it brings me a lot of comfort :') this is my first time requesting anything so i apologize if it's a bit awkward!
could you please write aventurine, firefly and/or any other characters you want to add with a reader who's not used to intimacy or gentleness from being conditioned to suppress emotions and therefore always puts on a tough front and reader is also funny and makes jokes out of anything to hide how fragile they actually are? like character is playing with their hair, kissing beauty marks or scars, etc but reader just starts silently crying bc they're not used to it and it feels good?
thank you lots in advance and take your time!! (i once again apologize if it's hard to read or is awkward)

You were sitting together in his private study, where the usual tension of strategic talk was replaced by an odd quietness between you both. Aventurine leaned back in his chair, a mischievous smile gracing his lips as he watched you attempt to mask your discomfort. You had always been good at keeping up your wallsāalways joking, always pretending you didnāt need anyone to care for you. But here, in the privacy of his space, something different was unfolding.
Aventurineās eyes twinkled with amusement, as he toyed with a strand of your hair. He moved it between his fingers with an air of nonchalance, but you could see the subtle attention behind his gaze. It wasnāt unusual for him to make gestures like theseāflirtatious, teasing, and unafraid of pushing your boundaries. It was how he played his game, after all.
"You know," he mused, still twirling your hair as though it were a prized card he was inspecting. "This color suits you. Almost like a perfect contrast to my adventurous nature."
You snorted, trying to push the strange wave of discomfort down. āYeah, well, youāre the one with the roulette-wheel back on your jacket,ā you quipped, always opting for humor to cover anything remotely vulnerable. "What is it this time? Risking your life on your fashion choices?"
Aventurine chuckled, clearly unbothered, but the moment he leaned in, pressing a soft kiss near the scar on your wristāone you had never really discussed with anyoneāsomething inside you shifted. You stiffened, trying to hold onto your usual banter, but it was different this time. He hadnāt just kissed a scar; he had kissed your pain, your history. The raw parts of you that you buried so deep.
His lips were warm against your skin, his usual easy smile slowly fading into something softer. āIāll never let anything like this mark you again,ā he whispered, just loud enough for you to hear, his voice oddly tender.
You felt the sudden rush of emotions you had buried for so long, the weight of his touch and words threatening to break through. You tried to hold it togetherātried to make a joke or deflectābut the laughter caught in your throat. Instead, tears welled up silently, and before you could stop them, they began to fall.
Aventurineās eyes locked onto you with surprise, but there was no judgment, no rush to make it stop. He gently cupped your face with one hand, his thumb brushing away a stray tear as he whispered, "Youāve always been so strong, havenāt you?"
It was the first time you felt seen in a way that was so unexpected, so gentle, that it made everything elseāthe walls, the jokes, the front you put upāseem irrelevant. His touch, as light as it was, anchored you in a way nothing had before. You wanted to pull away, to laugh it off, but you couldnāt.
āIām sorry,ā you muttered, embarrassed by the vulnerability. āI just⦠Itās a lot to feel. Iām not used to⦠this.ā
Aventurineās gaze softened further, and in that rare moment, he showed something you hadnāt often seen: sincerity. "You donāt need to apologize for that," he murmured, kissing the top of your head softly, the act far more intimate than you had expected. "You deserve the gentleness, even if you donāt know how to accept it just yet."
And as his arms enveloped you, you finally let yourself feel the warmth of his affection, the touch you hadnāt realized you needed so desperately.
Firefly sat next to you, the two of you resting after another grueling mission. The cool evening air wrapped around you both, and for the first time in a long while, you found solace in the quiet. She had always been a person of few words, but the silence between you felt comfortableānot the heavy silence of avoidance, but one that came with a quiet understanding.
Her hand moved gently to your hair, and you stiffened instinctively. You had never been good at intimacy. Growing up, emotions had been a weakness, and you had conditioned yourself to suppress them. Jokes and sarcasm were your armor, and vulnerability was a battlefield you had no intention of stepping into.
But there she was, her fingers delicately combing through your hair, the simple act of caring something that felt foreign to you. You didnāt know how to respond to such tenderness, and it made you uneasy.
āYour hair is like silver moonlight,ā she said softly, her voice laced with the gentle affection she rarely showed. You couldnāt help but chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. āRight. And youāre the moon itself. Always glowing, always distant.ā
Fireflyās smile was almost imperceptible, but it was thereājust for a momentābefore her fingers continued their exploration. But as they grazed your skin, near the small scar just behind your ear, you froze. Her touch was slow, deliberate, and strangely soothing. Something about it made your chest tighten, a feeling that you didnāt know how to process.
"Youāve fought so much, havenāt you?" Fireflyās voice was soft, almost a whisper now. She gently pressed a kiss against the scar. āBut not all battles have to be fought alone.ā
You immediately felt the familiar urge to make a joke, to crack something clever to push away the feeling of her affection. But her words and the warmth of her touchācombined with the quiet sincerity in her gazeāstopped you from speaking. Instead, a tear slipped down your cheek, unnoticed at first by Firefly.
When she saw it, her expression softened. Without a word, she pulled you closer, wrapping her arms around you in a protective embrace. You werenāt used to being held like this, to being shown tenderness that didnāt come with strings or expectations. Your walls, once so rigid, cracked just slightly in the warmth of her touch.
"I'm not used to this," you admitted, your voice barely above a whisper, and for once, the humor in your words faded. "I donāt know how to⦠handle it."
Fireflyās grip tightened just enough, not in a possessive way, but as if assuring you that it was okay. "You donāt have to handle it alone anymore," she said quietly. "Not with me."
A silence settled between you two, but this time, it wasnāt uncomfortable. You allowed yourself to lean into her, feeling her warmth seep into your bones. And for the first time in a long while, you didnāt feel the need to pretend you had it all together.
The tears you had been holding back flowed freely now, but they didnāt feel like weakness. Not with Firefly there. With her, you felt like it was okay to finally stop pretending.
Hello! Considering how you now write for Chiori, and that I highly appreciate your Genshin headcanons... I think it's about time I grant you the honor of my first ever tumblr ask š
How would Chiori act with a S/O who is more on the sensitive side, the kind to not appreciate harsh words, or having people raise their voices at them? (totally not me checking my own hypothetical compatibility with her)
We know she can basically use her sass to roast people on the spot (not to mention her skills in graceful arcs making) in public, though during her SQ, we also get to see a somewhat softer side from her, when in a more private environment/with friends... But she also went "ugh eww ugh" when Xavier cried in joy during the 4.3 movie event.
So... that got me genuinely wondering. Feel free to add more characters if you feel inspired/like doing that (how their behavior with S/O would change depending of the setting being in public or in private?), and have a nice day š
I am honored that I am your first blog you ask! Hopefully you enjoy!
Chiori honestly does not act that differently, even in private or when she has a S/O.
She has never apologized for being herself, and that would not change no matter what.
And if someone got with her, they would know that when they decided she was the person they loved.
Even if the person she spoke to was an absolute sweetheart, Chiori doesn't mince words in the slightest.
(Chiori) "...S/O, you are not going out in those rags. Here, let me pick something out for you."
She doesn't really hold anything back because she loves her S/O, and the fact they love her means she can unapologetically be herself.
That being said, she isn't heartless.
Chiori tries to phrase things slightly more gently. Such as:
(Chiori) "What I want for my birthday? Hm, I would like new tools...Keep it a surprise? Why would I do that when you can just get me something I like?"
Key word being: tries
She's at least tactful enough to not make them cry from her usual harsh words.
In private, she can get a little more handsy than usual.
She just sits on the bed and lays her head on their shoulders, taking a deep sigh.
(Chiori) "...You must be tired too. Go ahead and rest your head on me."
Her love language is definitely acts of service than words, which goes both ways.
She'd rather show why she loves her gentle S/O, than just tell them.
And that comes across in the clothes she tailors for them, never ever skipping on any expense.
(Chiori) "This kimono will match that perfectly with that pretty smile of yours, now quit squirming. I gotta take the measurements..."
Since they don't like anyone raising their voices at them, Chiori is the first one to step in to apply verbal or physical violence upon anyone doing so.
It doesn't matter who they are, if someone tries to pick on her sweetheart, than they're going to be picking glass out of their clothes.
