“they” (1 word) is shorter than “he or she” (3 words)
“they” is more inclusive than “he/she”
“themself” flows more naturally than “him or herself”
“they” is less clunky than “(s)he”
it’s time to replace the awkward “she or he”

'Go to the Golden House,' the quest read.
It had just been another regular day for Childe. Wake up, do his morning chores, then do his regular, messily scheduled streaming.
And, as per usual, he had been streaming Genshin Impact, a well known game in the streaming community.
"The Golden House? Uh, okay then..."
He stole a glance at his chat, who were telling each other to shut up, while some only asked what would happen in confusion. Spoilers were probably deleted by his mods.
"Chat, you're scaring me, chat. What the hell is going to happen? No, no, don't tell me, I don't think I want to know yet."
Something in his head screamd at him, as a cutscene played. His chosen traveller looked around the Golden House before stepping closer to the Exurvia of the former Geo Archon.
And then, in stepped familiar h/c hair, their e/c eyes devoid of light despite the golden mora shining within the Golden House.
"Hey! The lil skrunkly!" He whispered, low enough to not desturb the cutscene.
They conversed for a bit, before the cutscene ended and a battle began.
"Surreder is a valid option, I promise I'll be gentle."
Childe swallowed his saliva, laughing quietly to himself.
"Oh I am going to have fun. Maybe."
─𖠄࿐
The fight ended, and Childe was shaking in his seat. He had barely finished phase 3, getting disracted many times.
Another cutscene played, revealing a tired, worn out traveller. But Y/n was no better, not even on his level.
Standing across the traveller, now out of their Foul Legacy form, was same old Y/n, shaking in their place as scratches and bruises littered their skin.
"Hah, you've bested me. How... intriguing. You truely are...as strong as they say."
Childe, having a chill run up his spine, stared intelty at his screen, deathly quiet.
"La Signora has even praised you for your strength, even if she had not faught you herself, yet. Hah, to get a Harbinger's attention and praise... You sure are a special one, huh?"
─𖠄࿐
Having none of their energy remaining, Y/n collapsed to the floor, on their knees. They could see the traveller hesitate to approach them, but they spoke before he could move.
"Well? What are you waiting for? I may have overused Foul Legacy, and it wont be too long."
They spared a glance at the traveller, and even in their weakest moment, a competetive and mischievous glint shone in their once dull eyes.
"Go on. Aren't you going to kill me?"
The traveller's breath hitched, before they chuckled once again.
"Haha, only joking... Unless you're up to it, of course. I'm not quite a fan of dying to Foul Legacy, but after a fight with the oh so great traveller? It was a fight worth dying for, I guess."
Coughing, blood trickled down their chin, and they wiped it off with the back of their hand.
"May I be able to hope to see you again? To have another battle? Perhaps in the far future, perhaps never again at all..."
Taking a step forward, the traveller ceased his motion as the Harbinger raised a hand.
"No need. Whatever healing you might try to do would not work. Foul Legacy takes my energy, decreasing my life span. Perhaps I wasn't meant to live long, perhaps my only purpose was to serve the Tsaritsa."
A chuckle, breathy and tired and solemn and...happy.
Happy to have someone to pass one last message for them.
"Before you leave," they spoke. "You'll probably be able to find one or two of the Harbingers here. One of them would be summoning a god banished to the depths below. You cannot stop them. Or maybe you can. But, before you leave."
They looked up, and despite the scratches and blood on their face, their half lidded eyes shined a thousand times brighter than all the mora in the Golden House.
"My siblings... My mother, my father... Everyone..."
They smiled, brighter than their eyes. It was soft and kind and solemn and genuine and sad.
A million words spoke through that smile. A million messages, a million apologies, a million grateful thank yous. Directed to their family, their parents, their siblings.
A million farewells. Directed to everyone.
Directed to the traveller. To Childe.
"Give them one last goodbye for me, will you? A hug, for everyone. A kiss on the cheek, for mum and dad."
A smile, solemn and bright. But never remorseful, never faux.
"Tell Teucer I'm sorry."
Falling to their side, they collapsed on the ground with a thud, and the Golden House was deathly quiet.
─𖠄࿐
Childe stared at the screen. Eyes wide, mouth agape. If you looked close enough, you could see his shaking form as the cutscene ended.
Another quest popped up.
'Bid Y/n L/n a final goodbye.'
And he wailed in his seat.
Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he made it seem more dramatic to make people assume he wasn't really badly affected by their death.
"I— what— NO! My skrunkly! My little meow meow!"
He moved his character to stand in front of Y/n, an interact button popping up.
'Bid your farewells.'
He did so, seeing his character change to the traveller, who kneeled down beside Y/n. Paimon floated down to the ground, placing a hand on their head.
"...We promise you, Y/n. Your family will be alright."
Taking a flower, a Cecilia from Mondstadt, the traveller gingerly placed it atop their head.
"...We'll be going now, Y/n." He said, and stood up.
Childe had been quiet the whole time, and he could see his chat going wild on the corner of his eyes, all screaming 'NO' or 'o7' or anything alike.
"What the fuck!?" He exclaimed, not touching the game. Rolling his chair backwards a bit, he turned his head to chat, hands intertwined in front of his face, covering his mouth.
He wiped his teary eyes and wet cheeks, trying to find his voice.
"That was too early! I thought I could ignore the death flags until further!!" He exclaimed, staring directly at his face cam. Running a hand through his hair, he dramatically slouched on his chair, groaning loudly.
"Nooo! I would have protected them!"
Suddenly springing up from his seat, he wailed even louder.
"THEIR FAMILY!! THEY'RE GOING TO BE FUCKING DEVASTATED! And— and— their siblings! TEUCER!" He exclaimed.
"I'm sueing Mihoyo Hoyoverse what the fuck."

READ ON AO3
Keep reading
shounen ai mangas that should be a part of your reading list if you enjoy reading healthy and plot-driven romances- part 2.
this is a continuation to the first part of this list i made earlier this month, part 1
6. Until i meet my husband.
the reason why i want this manga to be a part of your reading list is simply because it changed my perspective on gay relationships as a person, there were so many things that i was never able to inculcate myself or things that where actually alienated to me, this manga is actually inspired by a memoir written by ryousuke nanazaki, who happens to be an activist and the manga revolves around his life growing up as somebody who identifies as a gay man and his life till he finally met his husband, i encourage you to give this manga a read and try to understand how gay relationships actually are and not the female gaze that always markets in the shounen ai industry.
7) Koimonogatari.
koimonogatari is alot more than a shounen ai manga, it's about self acceptance, friendship and internalized homophobia, there were multiple instances in the story where i had to sit back and cry and actually introspect for a minute by putting myself in the main character's shoes, if you actually want to experience an actual expression of accepting your identity, please give this manga a read.
8. Restart after come back home.
this story often makes me think about how home is actually a person, i honestly get so overwhelmed with the comfort this manga brings while reading it out, whether it is the art style or honestly the way the characters are written or perhaps it's the grumpy sunshine protector x sunshine trope all over again, please read this out to experience how a story can feel like a literal hug.
9. The two lions.
i have and always will love furuya sensei's work, whether it's the iconic the summer of you series or the two lions in itself, the way she developes her characters and the progression of the stories, it is impeccable, the two lions is such a refreshing read that you would not even realize when you developed such a strong connection towards both the characters.
10. Happy Birthday.
i hold a special bias toward author ymz's works perhaps because i have been heavily inspired by most of her works and learned a lot of things about my own writing style, whether it's sayonara heron or happy birthday, the way she writes her characters and the melancholy, everything is so heart warming and wrenching at the same time, happy birthday again is a lot more about friendship with differentiating factors and points where they intersect together in an utterly chaotic yet in an articulate way, the art style has my heart and you should probably experience this story once.
Lost & Found?....
Ft. Tartaglia/Childe (Ajax)
Reader's pronoun : He/Him Cw : the reader fell into the fking abyss<3, abyss princess lumine, abyss reader. Ooc childe??
Summary : In which you were his long lost childhood bestfriend, but reuniting with your long lost childhood friend isn't always the warmest.
—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–
You were merely the core memory of his childhood. the memory you both made always made him smile, no matter which one.
Though, after his days on the abyss he lost the memories. One by one fades out, no matter how hard he tries to remember it, he couldn't. He couldn't remember how you look like. Your hair, your face, your features. It always left him questioned.
When he got out of the abyss, his first thought was his family, and you.
He tried to ask the nearby villager about your whereabout, only to be left with an answer that you had mysteriously disappeared the day after he was gone missing.
But, eventually after a brawl and huge havoc ajax's brings to the seaside village of morepesok, ajax father had no choice but to hand his beloved son to the fatui's.
Days by days went by in the fatui headquarter, ajax has long forgotten his childhood friend, Though whenever he was alone his thought always come to this certain voice he couldn't get over with.
"Ajax!... Ajax, promise me we would stay together forever!" Said a familiar voice of a boy he couldn't remember.
"But i promised you yesterday!" "I don't care! Lets do the promise again." The boy protested.
"Alright, alright!" Ajax could only huffed in response.
"You make a pinkie promise you keep it all your life. You break a pinkie promise. I throw you on the ice. The cold will kill the pinkie that once betrayed your friend. The frost will freeze your tongue off so you never lie again." The both of you said happily
..Oh... he remembered, you were his first friend, a very close one.
A child who always tags along with whatever he was doing, neither it was bad or good. Even his parents and sibling knows you well, you would sometimes have a dinner at his house or sometimes a sleepover.
Even your parents have to scold you because you always came home late.
Oh.. to those little memories that he cherished so much, it makes him misses you even more. But sadly, even when he remembers those memories he can't remember how you look like.
One by one, he remembers the memories vividly. The way you would hold his cold hand and guide him home through the cold forest, the way your smiled warmed his heart.
...He was so lost in thought until
"Sir Tartaglia, The Ship will be docked around 10 minutes until now. Please prepare yourself."
His eyes peered over the kneeling agent behind him.
"Hm." Tartaglia only hummed in response.
With that, the agent left.
Tartaglia recalled that his next mission were located in some random place in snezhnaya, he was tasked to retrieve an stolen ancient artifact which the fatui presumed it came from 500 years ago. The years where khaenriah still exist.
—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–
10.27 Snezhnaya.
Ajax always misses walking down the snowy forest with you, the way you would show him the path on the forest so he diddn't get lost. How your warm hand warmed his cold ones.
"So this is the place.. i diddn't know the abyss would have their hideout around here" he peered over the blurry picture of an snowy ancient ruins, "now that i'm here, will you answer my question? Abyss mage." He pointed his dagger at the exhausted abyss mage under him, blood dripping off his dagger from the countless enemies he Killed.
"Heh.. you thought you could get an easy answer of the artifact huh? Fatui" the abyss mage responded.
"Cmon now.. dont play with me, you know you're on the verge of dying right know aren't you?" he pointed the dagger even more closely to the abyss mage body.
"If you wished for the answer, why don't you ask the answer to his majesty then?" The abyss mage said lowly.
"You—" just before childe could finish his own word, an knife flew infront of his face.
"That's enough." A figure wearing a cloaked clothes said, their upper face hidden by a hood.
"Torturing my underlings is unacceptable, and i guessed you came here for the relic aren't you?" The cloaked figure said while opening his hood revealing a very familiar face to ajax himself.
For a second ajax thinks he was dreaming, the person he cherished the most, is here, in front of him. But he know something was wrong... did.. you just said, underlings?
"You... you.. shit" ajax said, his face showing shock and confusion.
"Oh Tartaglia, or should i say ajax. Don't tell me you forggoten my name already?" You said.
The way his name rolled off your tongue perfectly, it remind him of some memories.
Your name.. what was your name?...
[Na...]...
[Name]?....
[Name]!
Your name! That was your name!
"[Name]! Is that.. Is that really you?!" His face showing an shocked expression.
"Well... could you not tell? You couldn't remember your own friend?" "Or did the abyss really affect you?"
"The Abyss?! How did you know about it??" "Were you.. were you siding with the abyss?!" He screamed.
"Her majesty... she.. she saved me, and in return i... will help her achieve her dream" You said, old Memory flashing your mind.
—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–
"Madame!.. Madame!" You had been knocking on your dearest friend door, hoping for neither one of his family member to answer the knocking, ignoring the snowstorm that had been silencing your voice.
But— by the luck or miracle you have in your pocket, the door opened revealing an concerned mother.
"[Name]??, Oh dear! what are you doing here? The snowstorm is raging outside!" "Look at you, you got frostbite here and there" she said, her tone laced with worries as she examined your body.
"Madame.. is the rumor true?? About ajax?" You said while looking up at her, sad expression on your eye.
"Its.. sigh.., [name] why dont you come inside? I will explain it to you"
Just from her words you could already tell that the rumors was true, her tone explained it all.
"No! I cant.. i.. i need to look for him" you turned your heel, running to the forest where your bestfirend were last seen.
"Wait!... [Name] The snowstorm is still—"
—"[Name]!"
You ran as fast as your feet could take you ignoring the raging snowstorm and a cry of plea coming from Ajax mother
After all, she truly care for both of you right?..
—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–
Huft.. huft..
"ugh, i cant.. breath.." you said as you clutch your hand to your chest gasping for more air.
But..
"The air.. its so.. cold and the snowstorm.. is getting more rougher" "and my frostbite isn't doing any better too" you peered over your hand, showing an visible wound of a frostbite.
"I need to go fast, otherwise i'll freeze to death" again you ran, to wherever direction you could go.
"Ajax! Ajax! Where are you?" You screamed
"Answer me!" Again..
"Ajax!" Again..
"Answer me.. please.." and again..
You ran and screamed until.. you couldn't feel your leg again.
Thump.. you fell onto your knees, your body hurt. You couldn't breath, and your frostbite wound isn't doing any better.
Am i going to die here? Am i going to give up just like this? If i die here... what would my parent feel..? No.. what about ajax's mother? Can she handle the loss of her two favourite child?
Those thought keep flooding your mind "I guess it can't be helped" you closed your eyes, just before Darkness and snow engulfing your tiny body..
"Im sorry..." is all you could muster
—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–
??.?? unknown place.
My head?.. am i still alive?
You opened your eyes, squinting slightly at the light around you.
"Where am i?.." you looked around the place "it looks like an domain.."
"How did i get in here?..." as you tried to stand up, you realize that your leg isn't moving as you wanted it to.
My legs... how am i supposed to get out of here, i need to—
"Poor kid... falling into such a dangerous place like this" you heard a voice alongside the sound of steps.
There she stands, a young woman with a blonde hair, judging from her attire it seems that she diddn't came from teyvat. But yet she looks so graceful in it.
"Who are you?..." you looked up at her, curiosity plastered on your eyes.
She crouched over to your level, "I will help you" she said whilst holding your chin, "but.. in return, you will help me achieve my dream"
Her dream?... weird..
You had no choice but to say yes.
"Whats your name?" She says
"Im [Name], how about you?.." you said shakily.
"Im.... Lumine."
—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–
"And the rest.. its blurry, i can hardly remember anything these days. Guess the abyss do affect me too."
"[Name].. so you.. so you went out looking for me that day?.." "but.. but! Mother and the other diddnt say anything about you the day i returned to the village?!"
"I guess.." you hopped down from rather high platform you were standing on "She diddn't want to make you worry Ajax, what kind of mother would want to make their child worry over a trivial matter?" you walked up to him.
"And.. im sorry for not being there when you returned ajax, i should've dis— No, princess lumine I.." you sighed.
"Look ajax, this place isn't safe for you this place is overflowing with dark elemental energy. You should go back soon"
"and the artifact.. i'll just give it to you." You said while handing him the ancient artifact.
"Now go back Ajax, and never return here ever" you turned your back at him, just before you can walk away from him.
"Wait!" You feel a hand holding your cape "Why don't you.. why dont you go back to morepesok with me [name]? You know mother is still looking for you right?? "She would be very happy to see you right now!" He said with an pleading eye.
"Ajax.. i have a duty to attend too, and you too right? Now let go off me" you said trying to pry his hand off your cape.
"Please..."
It took a few tries before his hand were completely off you.
As you walked away from him, you opened up an portal leading to— who knows? Maybe anywhere away from from this auburn haired friend of yours.
"And ajax, dont try on searching for me ever again, also... be careful out there." You said before stepping on the portal, Vanishing away from his sight.
Ajax tries to open his mouth, but still no words came out of his mouth.
And yet once again—
He was left with nothing but
The feeling of loneliness and a longing feeling for your presence.
—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–

🌻 a sunflower for everyone who is not feeling well today
Bored at work here I go with a curious Tokyo Revengers quiz! Go with it and show your result I got, here's the link:
Purrfect husband material
Cooking, cleaning, sewing, you name it! You've got the man everyone wants as a husband, Mitsuya. He's used to taking care of his sisters (and Hakkai) so chances are, he'll dote on you too. You like the cute desserts with sprinkles and marshmallows, only he can decorate them so well. You're also a sucker for a warm home meal. (Is everything at home okay?) On the weekends you guys can wear matching outfits that he designed and go on little shopping dates.
