"Hmm~ What a nice morning. Now then, what should I do today? Oh, is that ukulele music in the wind? Have our friends from the People of the Springs come to visit Inazuma too?"
yay, thank you! also i liked the music :)) i love slowed down music, it was very relaxing so it was really nice with the miko fic. if it's okay to request characters like lisa and beidou i'd love to request more of them in the future
-πββ¬
You're welcome π
Understandable! Speaking of relaxing music, I think I already know the one to use for Lisa's part π
Sure! π
thank you so much for the comfort fic, i was so hyped to see that there was so much written for each character and it really means a lot to me that you put so much effort into my request ;u; it actually came out at the perfect time since it's been a really bad week haha
my favourite part was miko's! it was super cute and i really like the way you write her, it feels very in character- she's super kind underneath all her teasing, it's really nice to see that side of her shown in a fic :D also, i know you mentioned this being your first time writing beidou and lisa, but i think you did a great job!
thank you very much again :) since you mentioned multiple requests are allowed, i'd love to send more asks (if that's okay)!
-πββ¬
You're most welcome, dear anon, I'm glad you liked it! π
I prefer to take my time to deliver more quality, rather than to speedrun everything, just to empty my ask box (not that it gets really filled for now anyway lol).
Oh and I hope it will get better soon, or at least that you get to relax soon enough! Please take care and, just in case... especially if you, or someone else reading this, struggle with the serious subject of that request π
Ironically... I wasn't inspired at first for the setting to use with her. I didn't want to use the same one for all three; I know recycling is trendy nowadays but eh, variety is good too π
First one was Lisa and I got inspired nearly-instantly after thinking about the song I used for her part... then Beidou and finally Yae.
I quite like the way I wrote her too, and I always try to write characters accurately (canon-divergence might be fun, but more for silly/unserious headcanons, in my opinion), I'm pretty sure I could grasp her personality accurately (way before I started these requests)... or it really is that both she and I share traits in common... well I'm a Yae fan/admirer/simp anyway π
As for these two, I went through their profile's voice lines, to check the way they speak, so I could better imagine how they would act. Thank you though, I'm glad π
You're welcome again, thanks for your request, and sure! You may also ask about characters I didn't name on my main page (I updated the wording on it over time, in case you might have missed it) π
Speaking of asks, feel free to share suggestions for settings (if you have any) or to provide additional details (or specific preferences even) π
As for your latest (and currently my only) request, when you say "with a personality like hu tao/ei"... which aspect in particular? They're not exactly the same π€
However, it's not impossible that I might come up with more than 3 characters/types. This kind of request sounds like headcanon format to me, with very little to no potential for a fic part (not that they're always supposed to be here though; plus, they depend of how inspired I get) π§
Last but not least, here for you, a gift from Yae... namely the bonk of good fortune π
(NVIDIA shaders were used, for anyone wondering)
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
-πββ¬
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 π
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.

Ruan Mei: a character study and attempt at understanding her.
Who is Ruan Mei? Why is she the way she is? Why does she do everything she does?
Ruan Mei is a very interesting and complex character who often gets misinterpreted by the fandom and goes under the radar as a "sociopath evil scientist" or "that one that wants to become an Aeon" or who knows what ales. Despite her popularity when it comes to the meta, you don't see people talk about her as often as other characters. That is a shame in my opinion for I think exploring characters who go outside the conventional of a good person so much that people call them "sociopaths" and "crazy" because of the way they do and understand things can be interesting.
Note that this dissection of her might not be perfect as I'm coming to and trying to understand her deeper as I write this and I'm always open to being corrected and to further discussions (I'm human and I can be wrong).
Who is Ruan Mei?
Ruan Mei is member #81 of the Genius Society, a genius who specializes in biology/life science and a member in Herta's Simulated Universe project. Her casual research shakes the schools of biology but why does she research? What does her research mean to her? What does she SEEK from it?
Lil A-Ruan
Despite her not understanding love, she actually grew up in a loving household! Her exposure to science was from her mother, who by the game calling her a scientist in quotes, it is to argue that she might have been more of a passionate person who seeked to acquire knowledge and test knowledge of her interest rather than an actual scientist who contributed to her field. But I digress.
Ruan Mei's mother would take her scientific expeditions and thus showing her daughter the wonders of life, biological life to be specific.
When she took lil Ruan Mei to No Man's Lend, the wonder that she experienced as she saw whatever was in that ice that came undone matched nothing ales. The emotional high and fascination was such a big and exciting emotion for Ruan Mei, that it cultivated her interest in biology science to this day. The discovery of something new that goes beyond her calculations, breaks away the ordinary and norm.
Since her early days of life, the feeling that came with the discovery of something new was presented to her and that's what she sought to chase to this day.
But it wasn't this moment alone that shaped Ruan Mei into being so obsessive to break and bend the rules of biology and create for her own fascination.
Ruan Mei's understanding of love
Since she was a child, her understanding of love was different from the ones in textbooks. Despite growing up in a loving household, where she would get forgiven all the time despite making mistakes, receiving snacks from her aunt and being brought with her mom on expeditions and let in her lab, she doesn't understand love.
But why? This is where I struggle to understand, but I think it just might be how Ruan Mei is.
She grew up with the influence of her mother, a research and thus, along with just who she is at her core, learned to be stubborn and to question. To draw her on conclusions and understanding of things and not take everything in the textbooks at face value and as absolute facts. And so, at a young age, her understanding of love broke away from the one in textbooks.
Specifically the "formulae" in textbooks. Formulae is an interesting word to use, not definition, formulae. Formulae and Formula mean the same thing: it can either be a mathematical relationship or rule expressed in symbols or a list of ingredients with which something is made.
The fact that little Ruan Mei thinks the definitions of love in textbooks are formulas says a lot. Ruan Mei in general sees the behavior of organisms in their logical ways and struggles to understand the more emotional and non-rigid explanations of them.
and her grief: the death of her parents and the broken promise
Because of her struggle to understand love and her exposure to the biology of life, the death of her parents took a huge toll on her.
She didn't cry, for she understood that life and death are inseparable but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. After her funeral, as night fell, we are told she made clones of her parents. (which is insane to me, why are we not talking about this? Ruan Mei WTF!?)
If this happens after the funeral as the text suggests it means she has researched a way to clone her parents in advance for quite some time and years.
And her grandma made a deal with her parents, that this death failed to keep it. (her grandma is also hinted to be alive but absent for some time, maybe even before their deaths even?) A promise Ruan Mei was hoping for them to fulfill. But what was that promise?
We don't know.
But it might have to do something with their mortality. Ruan Mei comes from a planet blessed by the Abundance and that must have affected the way her grandma and mother saw biological life as well as her mothers interested in it that rubbed on Ruan Mei.
But whatever this promise was, her parents death and the inability to fulfill it upset and broke Ruan Mei deeply. That and her inability to protect them, whatever this protecting meant.
"Only science... never lets anyone down"
Her parents mortality and their death was a let-down to her, something like a betrayal. Their death HURT her so much emotionally that she shut down as a result.
Ruan Mei, as much as she seems cold and struggles to understand the department of emotions, feels VERY deeply.
She probably didn't grow up with many friends as it's not mentioned and her family boarded on a research aircraft and explored many worlds which probably didn't give her many chances to socialize with anyone her age. Her family and their love was the only one she had and understood (in her one way and definition) and the only people she had.
Her only having her family must have made her REALLY close and attached to them because without them, who does she have? No one. And they left her, they left her with this pain and loneliness and the realization that:
Life is fleeting, and getting attached to people will only bring the pain of having to face their mortality in the long run. Losing them and having to deal with the painful emotions that it brings. For such is the nature of life.
She doesn't want to get attached again so she won't experience that same pain. That's the logical thing to do right? Because the definition of it says this so she must do opposite and logically she won't experience it and be fine...right?
Besides her family she probably never had anyone around, so she is fine with being alone as she doesn't know how it is to not be alone outside her family. Loneliness is the norm for her.
Ruan Mei's research: her addiction to wonder
Ruan Mei's reacher, her discoveries, bring her that excitement and wonder that she felt as A-Ruan for that first time. Besides her family, these discoveries are the only thing that make her happy. But she doesn't have much to discover at this point. She managed to do and find so much that she can only occupy her time with "ik what if" projects like recreating a Propagation Emanator clone.
But Aeons? Oh they are her biggest wonder of them all, the most interesting beings out there to her. So much that maybe by understanding them and what makes them what they are, she might even be able to become one.
And imagine how much she could discover with the power of an Aeon. All the answers hidden to her by the limitations of her mortal understanding of things. Things only Aeons could understand. Maybe she will finally find the answer to when "life" those truly end and maybe what "love" is.
Ruan Mei and her understanding of life
Remember her parents? Yeah she probably brought them back based on the start of her Myriad Celestial Trailer.
Which brings everything to a new perspective as:
1. how much are those clones actually her parents? for Ruan Mei and just speaking logically
2. does Ruan Mei REALLY see them as her parents? Maybe. From the way she wonders "when does "life" truly end?" she might see them as her parents. They got the form and probably(?) maybe(?) at least most important(?) memories so you could say they ARE her parents.
Her parents being brought back but the wound of not fulfilling their promise to her grandma. Why do they exist at the same time? Was the promise for them to not d!e? Life is in quotes when she wonders "when does "life" end?" so she might not fully see them as her parents. But another form of life, "life".
"Life" is technically still life so when does it truly end?
Now that we understand her alone, let's try to understand her interactions with others outside her family based on what we know
Something that the fandom often criticizes her for is her relationship with her creations as she abandons them if they don't meet the results she wants or have any academic value.
Which is not something I'm gonna excuse because poor little catcakes :( but with what we know of her it makes sense.
She thinks their love is something inherently biological. She made them so they are gonna want to seek her comfort as she is their creator and mother but she doesn't see the more deepness of those emotions.
To understand Ruan Mei's way of seeing it:
Your mother for example. You love her right?(I'm sorry ppl with mommy issues) Because she is your creator so it's only logical to seek her love, attention and approvel right?
That's where Ruan Mei's understanding of love stops.
But no one loves their mother just because she created you and is natural as her child to seek her love. You love her much more deeply than that. And it's complicated to explain why and who right? But you do.
And that's what Ruan Mei can't understand from her creations, how deep their love goes, how it goes beyond its logical biological explanation.
Her creations should be fine. With time they are gonna grow and stop wanting love from her and be independent, as that is the nature of living things. Right?
Another thing people are upset about in the MC's stead is her dr*gging them with the anti truth serum.
Which is bad and a very drastic measure instead of just telling us "can you not talk about me to others please?" but it also shows how much she distrust others
I'm not justifying, I'm explaining:
Based on all we discussed, the betrayal she experienced with others and her lack of relationships in life outside her family makes her handle human relationship in a uhm...very original way.
She made us forget about her because she thinks it would only bring more trouble than good if the MC remembers her and starting on a new slate and forgetting it again and again is the most efficient way and one that brings the least emotional turmoil when it comes to their relationship in the long run (attachment).
She only dr*geed us because she believed that's the best way for this relationship to be. (now the fact that she makes this decision for the both of us and doesn't tell or late us have a say in it is a whole other thing)
But she can also be kind and considerate.
Asta's voice line about her:
"I asked Miss Ruan Mei where I could buy a charm like the one on her sleeve β but I was surprised to learn she'd hand-embroidered it. I was equally surprised when she gave me my own hand-embroidered charm the next time she came to the space station. Her craftsmanship, like her research papers, is superb."
She took note of her wanting a charm like hers, and proceeded to bring one the next time she came to the space station even though she didn't promise Asta. She did it because she wanted to not out of a need to fulfill a promise made of courtesy at the moment, she didn't even promise. She remembered and did it and gave it to her.
As for her relationship with Herta is Screwllum? She doesn't want to be more than colleges. And she doesn't like having to socialize with them. Though she recognizes Herta for being similar to her on a deeper level, she doesn't want to connect with her.
--------------------------------------------------------------
To finally wrap this up:
Ruan Mei everyone β¨ *falls on the floor*
The silliest pookie ever who is definitely a green flag(trust) and will definitely come home (trust trust)
I hope this post can be of help in understanding her at least a little better and maybe even potentially sparking some discussion and theorizing about her (cause we can never have enough of that when it comes to fictional characters)
Again, this is my understanding of her and maybe I'm wrong on some stuff in here(...or maybe everything here is wrong π) so please correct me if so and don't please don't be mean (I genuinely tried, I'm only human)
Real talk, dialogue is where your characters come alive. But hereβs the thing, people donβt speak in perfectly crafted sentences. They stutter, they pause, they cut each other off. If your dialogue reads like a speech, youβre doing it wrong. Write conversations that feel like actual people talking, not robots exchanging ideas. Give them quirks, slang, and awkwardness. Sometimes the silence between the words says more than the words themselves. Donβt just use dialogue to tell the reader something, use it to show who your characters really are.
Using this opportunity to thank and link the person, who gave me the writing experience thanks to which I could begin my tumblr adventure π

Hello there, and welcome! π

I'm a male alien INFJ (at least, I strongly suspect it) who descended in this mortal realm in the year of 1998. I have a little bit of writing experience, though I wouldn't call it a proper hobby...
After the idea floated around my mind for a while now, I decided to give a try to writing headcanons/short fics, specifically for Genshin Impact (with now a bit of Honkai Star Rail), with a particular focus on comfort/fluff.
I got inspired to do this after seeing how often I would turn to comfort or fluff content on tumblr, as a way to cope with the void of loneliness (sometimes overthinking too). As such, why not add my own contribution... as long as it can, hopefully, provide some relief to one person out there.
Asks are open (anon allowed) for requests and chatting (and DMs for chatting if you feel like it) π
Please read all the rules first though!

I'm not as confident regarding them, so "ask at your own risks", I suppose. For those I didn't mention, I'm not against writing for them... Maybe, I can actually write them well, and I just don't know it yet π

reader X character (with reader by default as gender neutral for wider audience's sake, unless a request demands a different one)
mainly fluff and comfort (reader comforting, or being comforted by character)
I don't exclude mentions of hurt or angst as context for the above (unless a request specifically demands it), some conditions related to mental health (loneliness, overthinking and its consequences) aren't excluded either
platonic (not entirely confident with romance, see Miscellaneous below), eventually light romance, but nothing intense
headcanons, eventually fics (fics may be included in headcanons if I'm feeling inspired; no guarantees though)
Unless you're lucky and your request is within my abilities, just be aware though they're not my preferences (= you would be wise to ask someone who actually writes for those, instead of me)
smut/+18/NSFW/NSFL (not out of dislike/disgust/discomfort, but due to no experience in writing this kind of sensitive stuff)
intense romance & flirting (not really into romance, so, better to be safe than sorry...)
yandere (no experience in this)
genderswap (not really interested...)
character x character (check above, "intense romance & flirting")
By default, the reader will be gender neutral and referred to as S/O (please specify in the request, if you wish for specific nicknames or other pronouns to be used!), I want my blog to be open to everyone π
Multiple requests are allowed
I aim to write characters in a realistic manner, meaning I will base myself upon canon actions & voice lines from them
I'm not familiar with everything regarding LGBT+ and the autism spectrum (I'm not against writing about them, it's just that it will be a bit more difficult, and will require some research on my side)
I may not accept every request I receive (I'm no professional writer; plus, everything is done for free, during my free time)
I plan to add a link to ambient music to listen to, for immersion's sake (it may be emotional on purpose, at times), ideally to open in a new tab, so it can keep playing in background as you scroll along
Please don't interact if you don't have a civilized behavior; that is to say, be respectful, no hate, etc...
Headcanons are called headcanons for a reason; it's fine if you don't agree with mine, but that doesn't allow you to consider yours as superior/the only one π
If you own a blog which has "men dni" (or "mutuals only" and we aren't)... then what are you still doing here? *vine boom sound effect* Just kidding, I don't mind you interacting (I'm not like other men, and it's not like I could choose my gender at birth anyway; arbitrary discrimination be damned), though be aware this would technically be hypocrisy... so you ought to use anon, for your own public image's sake π€¨
Take care and have a nice day/night π
See? Told you there would be lots of Anemo Crystalflies here, hehe!
As an Outrider, it's definitely my job to lead the way to these hidden spots!
Wait, do you smell something...? Ah, it's buttered pancakes! Did you make these yourself? They even look so cute!
Here, the hardest-working master chef should get the first bite!
thank you for doing my request! :-D the rick roll at the end made me laugh π that sounds like something i'd do. also, i'm so hyped that black swan is added to the character list!!
i hope you're well :-D
-πββ¬
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! βΊοΈ
Great minds think alike, it seems, if you rickroll people as well π
Speaking of Black Swan, last night I received a request involving her, so, she should show up soon enough here π
I am, thanks, I hope you're well too! π
Back to work after some weeks of vacation, though in parallel to your request, I also started writing something involving Lumine... Let's just say the anime short about the siblings came at the right time πΏ
Everyday, I go insane about how little content there is of Baizhu (and when there is it's just so fucked up π no shade to those who like it but how on earth is Baizhu tag on AO3 looking like just a list of trigger warnings in DMMD)
So I'm being the change I wanna see, his bday letter inspired me.
Reader here is gender neutral
Dating Baizhu had always been quite an interesting experience, but with time you quickly got used to his quirks. One of them being Changsheng telling on him when he's neglecting himself.
You were preparing a small surprise for his birthday, nothing too extravagant but still a sweet gesture for your beloved...
That is until you noticed the adepti slithering your way. Your attention went to her right away as she explained what's going on.
With Gui being out of commission and Qiqi caring for patients, Baizhu's fatigue- although his own doing- was something that worried you.
So while it wasn't like he was sick, due to his condition it sometimes feels like it's one and the same. Besides, if he'd listen to anyone that would be you... Sometimes.
And once he saw you with Changsheng around your arm he already knew what the snake was up to.
Despite your worried expression he only laughed and tried to reassure you that he was okay... Emphasis on tried because he looked like he was going to pass out any second.
You walked up to his desk and took his hands, placing away the brush he was writing with "You're impossible..." Was the only thing you said at the moment before he started with more excuses.
After all this season changing makes it so easy to get sick he was only trying to write up a list of remedies... Maybe make some sort of pamphlet or advertisement with his advice and some easy to make remedies and recipes...
Speaking of which he was just done thinking of one. He wrote down the special tea blend and yet he hasn't made it to check if his curse of bitter medicine touched also on tea as well.
As he kept on talking you decided to agree to taste test the tea, but only if he rested afterwards. That compromise he could agree to.
You went on to follow the written instructions and by the time you were done he actually fell asleep on his desk.
(If you're strong) Rolling your eyes, you pick up your lover gently. Trying to not jostle him awake and took him to his home which was pretty much a part of the pharmacy. His work really is his whole life...
Once he's settled in his bed you take off his glasses and look closely at his handsome face. Adoring every wrinkle and yet... Finding yourself worried upon looking at the dark circles under his eyes.
He probably forgot it was his birthday too, which wouldn't be the first time. You lay down next to him and tuck a strand of his hair behind his ear and just let him rest. It was still pretty early so you'd get to spoil him for his birthday later today anyways.
For now, you just enjoyed the silent moment. You wanted to be with him when he wakes up. As you thought about your plans however you tried to think of a way to make him follow you. Of course he's not THAT stubborn... But you never know what his priorities will be once he wakes up. Especially since today looked like "work priority" day for him.
(If you're not strong enough to lift him) You didn't like how he was positioned and yet you didn't know if you wanted to gamble waking him up and then trying to argue with him to sleep. Because despite his promise you had a feeling he'd think of a way to do as he pleased.
After a moment of hesitation you decided to trust your lover's word and woke him up. He apologized for his drowsiness and went ahead to ask you questions about his medicine.
You answered his questions quickly to change the subject to his promise. Which he remembered and his little nap made him aware of his lack of arguments.
He leaned onto you and together you walked to his home. Of course he didn't fall asleep the moment he laid down. The two of just talked for a while. Holding each other close until he drifted away.
