#cris answers questions

[baeshijima]

u know what would be a cool genshin fic idea? isekai/transmigrated reader, but instead of appearing within the general timeline, you come into the genshin world 500 years prior to the start of the storyline in khaenri'ah.

honestly it could be either a little before the cataclysm, giving enough time to delve into some relationship building + explore some world building with characters like dainsleif, traveller's sibling (which would probably be lumine bc i actually do like her as abyss sibling & aether as traveller), and npcs like halfdan (still crying over him to this day ;w;) and possibly the khaenri'ahn royal guards (assuming you either join them or have a good enough relationship with them), OR it could be you appear during the crisis, completely and utterly lost as to why you were brought amidst the chaos and bloodshed as you watch everything you barely knew about this nation crumble before your very eyes.

either route will still result in reader's existential crises and constant "why am i here? just to suffer?" monologues because really, who would be fine after going through that after coming from /our/ world? and not to mention you've had to endure the next 500 years wandering with no real set path because you don't know this world— this era of teyvat or of genshin. you're merely stuck, unable to die, and forced to live a life of uncertainty with no clear direction for you to go to.

despite it all, you've at least been able to see dain during this course. while your meetings pass far too quickly for your lonesome, and his solemn demeanour is something you're yet to be accustomed to after having been with him before the fall of khaenri'ah (assuming it's the route where you appear before the cataclysm), you're glad to see a familiar face every now and then. after the messy departure with the lumine who left for the abyss order, you've come to appreciate his quiet presence more and more each time.

and then you decide it might be time to settle. you soon realise it's difficult to do so when your lifespan has become far more than that of a human's — of a mortal's — and so you find yourself becoming used to staying in one place for a few years before setting off for the next. rinse and repeat. over and over. it's come to a point where you've witnessed the nations undergo various changes each time you visit. you know change is inevitable, and yet your heart stings each time you witness it; a testament to how the world is ever-changing, yet you're stuck in place as a bystander.

one thing you're grateful for, however, are the bonds you've established amid your back-and-forth over the centuries. from archons like zhongli and venti to long-life beings such as neuvillette and the adepti to regular mortals who have showed you kindness as if one of their own... you've grown to cherish those memories, often reminiscing them when the nights get too long and surroundings too quiet. it was difficult at first, and still is, but you've become used to the inevitable change and the passing of those you once knew.

and after 500 years, you find yourself face-to-face with one you haven't seen since before you appeared in this world; the protagonist of this world, and the one you eventually join in hopes of finally finding a means to an end, aether.

little side notes/extras:

from /our/ world, you would probably know the storyline from up to around current (5.0) or maybe a little after the fontaine aq conclusion. it gives a lot to work with, but you definitely won't remember a lot of the lore after so long other than some main events, especially since most of your knowledge is pretty irrelevant for the next 500 years,,,

i think it would be cool if you had an inteyvat on your person as a little homage of khaenri'ah, which may or may not invoke some opinions from certain characters (*cough* aether immediately being reminded of lumine and having an existential crisis *cough*)

post-cataclysm you would go through a, uhm, long phase of helplessness, wondering why you were even brought to this world so far back if you couldn't even make any contributions. it does eventually morph into a resolution to do what you can to help those you come across if it's within your capabilities, but the nightmares and helplessness come back every now and then as a reminder for what you can't do :D yippee :D

honestly i'm on the fence whether you would have a vision or some other type of abilities (think on the similar lines of aether/lumine's and dain's), but i think having some type of purification mechanic would be a must in your arsenal !! would definitely lead to some moments between you and characters like dain or zhongli who suffer from the erosion as you give them a slight reprieve from what rages within and corrodes them

a little self indulgent, but i'd like to think your first /proper/ meeting with zhongli happens during a lantern rite festival, wherein you're admiring the lanterns in the sky after making a wish of your own and he comes up from behind with "they're beautiful, wouldn't you say so?" and !!

also as for love interests, as much as i would love for human/mortal characters, a part of me feels like this story would be better suited for the immortal/long-life characters as love interests?? idk i feel like considering that 500 years is, well, a long time, the bonds you would have with them compared to characters like, say, alhaitham or diluc would be way too different ?? though i would definitely still add them as love interest bc i am a sucker for so many of the human characters ;w; it would also add to the angst and hurt/comfort ahahha...

anyway thank you for reading this massive brain dump of a fic bc i absolutely would put this as a long term project, and if u made it this far then i would like to say that dain solos—

@disastertourwaterdeepedition

Sorry for the weird fucking post but like tumblr straight up ate your ask?? I had to search and screenshot from my email??

Its like super fine I love big rants and big feelings (especially about the blorbo of the month).

Whoa buddy if you wanna talk about a rant. This got so long I'm putting it under a read more.

I'm not sure any of this is above board conscious thought process. When he looks to Orym, when he thinks about how he feels about Orym, I think Dorian, king of compartmentalizing, gets a rush of all three of the things in the post. He gets a little too lost in thought looking at the way Orym's hair now tries to curl against his ear or how well tailored the armor is to his body, he first gets hit with the Will guilt. Then he thinks about "ohmygodtheresawaron" and he'd shovel all of that down. Because its not time to think about Orym and him. But he knows by the way Orym watches him "sleep". He knows by the way Orym refused to be princess carried in Aeror. (Seriously dude Dorian princess carries everyone. It would have been less suspicious if you let it happen). He knows because Orym didn't see his husband when they were in Zephrah. But when he dares himself to actually think about a possible future together, he uses the big three to shove it down. And no, he has no clue that Orym thinks he doesn't return his feelings. (Wow you're right. Pronouns are hard)

Lol to finally answer your question: I'm not sure! Because the thing is! Orym has gone down twice in a battle with Dorian there! And honestly if Orym being on death's door doesn't make either of them confess, i'm not sure what will! (thats a lie I do have an idea). But like Orym went to the moon and back and almost died on the moon and all the count communicate to Dorian was "I miss you"!! Orym nearly died twice in one battle and he didn't think to give Dorian a sloppy, "If I die again I want to have kissed you once" kiss before going in for another round of getting hacked on. Dorian watched him go down and had to bring him back from death's door (one failed save scared the shit out of me) and he didn't think to give Orym a "We need you, I need you" kiss.

My unfortunate thought process, which I can't decide if I want it to come true or not, is that Dorian has to get hurt. Like when I say hurt I fucking mean it. Taken down in a round or two, two failed death saves, hurt. Because then Orym will have to face losing Dorian again. Face losing the man he loves, again. He pours a healing potion into Dorian's mouth because warlocks don't have a single healing spell. (Just checked). Orym feels so helpless in saving Dorian, because a healing potion isn't nearly enough to keep him up. He starts to cry over Dorian's (now conscious) body. He whispers between sobs "Not again, not again. Dorian you can't leave me. I love you, please, I never got to tell you, please stay alive." and Dorian, having heard all of that, reaches up to cup Orym's cheek and says. "Alright, just for you though."

Or something like that.

As much as I would love for them to be adults and just talk to each other. I know thats not going to happen. (Please, Robbie, Liam, prove me wrong.) So I think major tragedy will be the reason they confess to each other. Because they're idiots in love with a lot of weight on their shoulders.

I don’t think Harley Quinn and Deadpool would date, they have too many cross references between their general backstories and honestly, in their lives (they can’t both be the problem)

But they would totally act, talk, and flirt like they’re dating, and their answer when asked if they are would change depending on what they think would be funniest at the time (queer platonic besties me thinks) (they’d be the best/worst roommates for each other)

This is, of course if they got past the “trying to kill each other” stage that they both seem to have with new people. After that, they make god regret being born.

What I can’t imagine would be Deadpool’s response to the rest of Gotham. Or how Gotham would react to Deadpool

I mostly wanna see Deadpool shoot the Joker in the dick and then immediately do an overdramatic segue to Harley with an RPG

What does tumblr think

[berdyayeva]

Frankly I would’ve probably developed my szpd jeanvic headcanon eventually anyways both out of actual analysis of his character and a healthy dose of projection but this tweet sent me off to the fucking races with it

[kabishkat19]

I just saw your character lineup for the grimm legends and I love it so so much! Not only your art is beautiful, I also feel like you nailed each character’s classic vibe while still making them diverse which is amazing! Sadly I couldn’t get if you’re doing a comic/fanfic or smth with them? Btw can’t wait for more whatever it’s story or just character sheets🧡

🖤I’m so glad to hear feedback like this!🖤

As much as I’d love to turn this concept straight into an animated series (I don’t have the time or technology) so the plan is to eventually turn The Grimm Legends into a comic series; there is still some plot points and other storyline’s to iron out before starting tho🖤 I started with the character designs because I already had many of them in my mind as it was and I really wanted to make them real🖤

I do want to put a few fun one shots about the characters just so people can get an idea of what the legends are like…

There is still many more character sheets to come aswell🖤

To all the DA fans who are disappointed (however big or small your reasons may be) with Veilguard, use this as your support post. 💜

I'll still stream DAV at launch despite my own personal disappointments, but I want you to know that you're not alone!

May The Dread Wolf Take You.

My dear Clematis, you bring me all the light one could ask for. You make my world colorful, the old grayness no longer present. I can see out of all the blurriness in my life clear now; all because when I'm with you, your presence clears my own messy one. You are a Goddess walking on Earth; everywhere you go flowers bloom and everything fills with life. And I am fortunate to call you mine, since God himself blessed me with our lives intertwining. You know, my dear Clematis... I chose this nickname because the flower it is has all of your characteristics. Let me indulge in explaining that further: "The Clematis flower has multiple meanings behind it, such as mental acuity, wisdom, aspiration and mischief." and I feel like that explains you on such a deep level that the flower should be the lucky one to be your nickname. The Clematis is also a climbing vine flower, which made my choice of it even much more true. It keeps on climbing even if there are rough textures ahead or the climate is not on the sunny side. I know how tough it can be for you my Clematis, and I also know that you keep on growing and expanding no matter what, like the Clematis, no one stops you and your heart of gold. The Clematis, even though much to it's beauty; can be very toxic to humans and pets, sometimes dangerous yet still gentle and gorgeous. So even when you, my dear Clematis are deadly, I still stay to touch, breath and admire; because I don't care about the pain it'll cause me. I don't mind burning in your flames if that means I'll get to bear the scars and burns you made. I'll be the happiest most merriest to say that my dear Clematis was the one to mark me, to show off you own my soul and body. So dear Clematis, my one and only blooming flower; I just hope you know I love you and I'll love you no matter what. Let it be anything, I'll always be here to water you if you feel like drying out, and till the end I'll keep on inhaling your sweet yet deadly scent of love. Because this is not just some metaphor, you ARE my Clematis, dear. Even if you don't think so, you are. And I'll be forever thankful to God just for you.

Ma cherie… how ardently I wish I could reciprocate this adoration. How I shall strive to be worthy of this love, this title you have bestowed upon me <3

[mossterunderthebed]

i think there is a part of me that died at seventeen. of course, this also means there is a part of me that will live forever at seventeen.

Hey do you have a favorite Zelda? Like I know you like fs Link/s and obviously you love Legend too, but do you have a favourite version of the Hylian Goddess incarnate? Have fun over spring break!

Hi :3

You mean Zelda like princess Zelda? Hmmmm... *digging through my memory* (and yeah I do love fs Links [Vio especially] and Legend :D)

I do like SS Zelda, i liked how she was also pulled into the journey (kinda) and how SS Zelink is canon BECAUSE IT IS XDDD YOU CAN'T TELL ME IT ISN'T :333

Also i remember crying over her when she got stuck in that crystal thing and also cried again when i just rescued her but Ghirahim took her away from me 😢 (Ghirahim i hate you so fucking much for what you've done to me) Also I liked how she had a huge role in everything rather than just being a damsel in distress :)

I heard that BoTW Zelda is also like SS Zelda like she wasn't just a damsel in distress but idk yet i haven't played enough of BoTW to know (but she is pretty :D)

Anyways- my fave Zelda would be Skyward Sword Zelda aka Sun :)

Btw thx ^^

Do you have any kyokao HEADCANONS?? 👀❤️

OH ANON YOU BET I DO I HAVE A MILLION OF THEM. I've been super busy so I didn't get the chance to respond to this right away and I am not sure which kind of headcanons you are looking for, so I am going to go with pet headcanons for fun

Kyoya:

Kyoya isn't really an animal person. The Ootori family never had pets in the house, so Kyoya never really grew up with one. It's not that he dislikes them per se, but he never really saw a reason anyone would want or need a pet. They're too much work (even when you have maids and butlers to do the heavy lifting for you).

He's even less inclined to get a pet when Tamaki gets Antoinette, because wow golden retrievers are sweet but have TONS of energy, and that's not really something Kyoya feels he can tolerate.

Of course, that all changes when he gets Noir when he's in Boston. Despite being exasperated with her at times (as all cat parents are), it does bring him solace knowing there is someone there when he gets home...even if he does have to stop her from eating plastic and scratching his leather couch. (He does not succeed at either of these tasks.)

It's been a while since I read the manga so I can't remember if we saw what Noir looks like, but if there's no canon design I am torn between Noir being this beautiful, sleek black cat or being one of those fuzzy voids like this:

Kaoru:

Kaoru loves animals. I like to think he's kind of an animal magnet like a Disney princess and has yet to meet an animal that didn't like him. Even Antoinette seems drawn to him (much to Tamaki's horror).

Though the Hitachiin family never had pets in the house either, Kaoru was always secretly jealous of other children who talked about their various furry and scaly companions. He was probably the one to suggest to Hikaru they go and catch frogs to release in the house, sort of as a way to give them a pet, too (while also causing mayhem for their staff).

When he finds out Kyoya of all people has a cat, he immediately takes it upon himself to spoil her rotten. Noir is constantly fed treats, catnip, played with, etc. when Kaoru visits Kyoya.

Unfortunately, like most cats, they only attach to one person and that person is Kyoya. Kaoru is DEVASTATED that no matter how much he does to earn Noir's affection, all she does is mildly tolerate him.

After he and Kyoya start living together, they finally realize how much Noir loves him the first time he has to go away for New York Fashion Week. Noir is inconsolable (as is Kyoya). She sits on their bed and meows pathetically, only getting up when Kyoya feeds her. Kyoya sends Kaoru pictures of her forlorn looks and Kaoru replies with a slew of crying emojis.

When he finally returns home, Noir goes right back to mildly tolerating him, as if nothing ever happened. (But they all know better now ;) )

[cyclorose]

Being closer to getting answers feels rewarding, but scary at the same time. It's like, woah, I will almost know if there's something that's been fucked up about me that ultimately made it hard to do certain stuff, or not

Maybe I do have a milder form of adhd. Been searching for symptoms and I can relate to some of them. I don't want to extend this topic here too much, but this Friday I'll visit a therapist that can get me to someone who can diagnose me
