🐦 Moved to: @musefulness

That's my multimuse blog, and it's under reconstruction!

Status: Semi-hiatus (most likely hiatus when I feel overwhelmed) until my exams & assignments are done with!

[alatusremains]

A strong part of me wants to move all of my side blogs into this main blog. Meaning, I want to write all my muses from different fandoms in ONE PLACE! This way, if I decided to write a particular character (let's say Hu Tao for example. She's coming btw!), then I would add them easily, without needing to make a separate side blog for that!!

I'll also change my username to something different!

Lining up next to the Adeptus, she shifts her weight to one side so their shoulders touch ever so slightly.

"..."

Not a single word is spoken, but she visibly relaxes - slowly closing her eyes while enjoying the moment.

A temporary food stall was added to the marketplace of the harbor. A friend of Smiley Yanxiao offered to advertise the meals provided in the Wangshu Inn, by giving away free samples of Almond Tofu and other delicacies; one plate for each customer. It was no surprise that Xiao was standing there, waiting in line for his turn. The kitchen of the inn was being renovated, and Smiley was behind the stand, alongside his friend. With crossed arms, the Adeptus was focused on the people ahead of him, but he did sense the arrival and the movement of the Traveler, whose shoulder was in slight contact with his tattooed one.

"..." The Yaksha stiffened a little and for the smallest fraction of a second, but he remained still. Though he said nothing either, he allowed the moment to last.

[alatusremains]

"..Damn it. There is one thing... but saying it out loud would make it sound like a lie."

(*Insert that one picture with the two spidermans pointing at each other*)

". . why do you look like me?"

[alatusremains]

"Indeed.. It is not easy when you are speaking with yourself after all… We must think of something more specific, something only I-" He was about to say something, then he paused, silently cursing to himself.

(*Insert that one picture with the two spidermans pointing at each other*)

-@the-adeptus-xiao

". . why do you look like me?"

[alatusremains]

When he nodded, the third Xiao vanished, as if he was never there to begin with. "..Hmph. That narrows it down to the two of us. Very well, it's my turn... I despise most mortal food, the only exception being Almond Tofu."

(*Insert that one picture with the two spidermans pointing at each other*)

Lumi steals a kiss

It was sunrise. Xiao was standing by himself under the shade of one of the trees in Dihua Marsh. He closed his eyes in thought, contemplating his own past before he was saved by the used-to-be Geo Archon. Suddenly, the Yaksha felt a familiar and welcome presence right in front of him. Opening his eyes, he saw the Traveler standing close to him, their faces mere inches apart. Before he could even say anything or speak, their lips were sealed. He was caught off guard by the sudden kiss, but he was no longer embarrassed about it. He slowly reciprocated, closing his eyes and kissing her back before pulling away. "..Traveler, good morning to you too."

Looking for a Boothill! (who doesn't have a Robin partner yet, and ships Robinhill!!)

Hey there! Would you please be so kind and like & reblog?

You can call me Mei. 22, she/her! Thanks to the influence of one of my online sisters (you know yourself pookie :>), I started to fall in love with Robinhill. When I get invested in something, I will be brainrotting about it for a very long time, prioritizing it over previous things I was passionate about. Perhaps that's an ADHD symptom? My attention has been scattered about lately, hence why I have many roleplay side blogs! 😭

Let's cut to the chase! I'm searching for a Boothill to interact with my Robin! To be more specific, I'm looking for a Boothill who doesn't have a Robin partner, is searching for one, and ships Robinhill! That would mean the world to me.

Where do I prefer for us to roleplay? Here, on Tumblr! But not in DMs, let's use them for OOC interactions okay? The way I roleplay here is by writing from one-liners to multi-paras, with icons of my muse! I would highly appreciate if you do that as well. It helps envision the scenes we're writing better! I'm not picky regarding the way you write; if you do one-liners, I'll match with you! If you write multi-paras, same thing! What matters is not the writing length... If we're not having fun, then even if we write whole novellas, it's like doing a homework we despise.

As for my activity, keep in mind I have 4 semi-active blogs aside from this one. I have a Sunday, a Xiao, a Venti+Nahida+Furina/Focalors , and an Elder Faerie thus far! In addition, I'm a second year Master's student, and my exams are approaching at an alarming rate. I mostly roleplay to de-stress! How many responses would you expect from me? At least one or two every day! I have assignments I need to submit, and deadlines are scary.

The themes I want to write with you are romance & fluff! What I DON'T want to write is smut, ESPCIALLY if you're a minor! We can fade to black if 'that moment' is necessary, but I'll pass when it comes to the writing process! As a people-pleaser in the past 10 years, I'm extremely traumatized, and I'm confident that I will not recover at all... Being a yes-person? Would not recommend.

We can plot together and discuss in DMs!

That's all from me, have a lovely day/night!!! ✨

;;ooc: No full coloring because I kind of don't like how this turned out and fully coloring it would highlight all of the mistakes more.

My piece from last year was way better but that was probably the best xlmi I've ever drawn so I'm never gonna top that.

I do like birb Xiao on this one though. He's a good boy.

[alatusremains]

Xiao had to forcibly suppress a sigh of relief when he felt the awkward moment between him and the Traveler had passed. He was, thankfully, saved from his predicament by the appearance of the pixie. He internally thanked the tiny flying creature…. but he would never say it out loud, of course. Her sudden but expected interruption was a huge distraction, and a much needed one. Not to mention… her unique voice has successfully snapped him out of whatever mood ー or state, really ー he was in before. In fact, his face was no longer red, and his normal pale complexion returned. The Yaksha silently watched as the Traveler tried to handle the little glutton's usual tantrum, while internally fighting himself. He looked at the now empty plate of tofu… That made him frown slightly.

"Poor Smiley will be crying himself to sleep tonight if he heard that." She joked, smiling sheepishly while scratching the back of her head. Surely her Almond Tofu could not compare to the one made by a professional chef.

"But I'm glad you enjoーー..."

"AH!"

Out of nowhere, Paimon's high-pitched squeak echoed through the air.

"You two were eating without Paimon!!"

The Pixie flew over to join the duo on the balcony, her cheeks puffed out as she continued her enraged tantrum. "I cannot believe it! Did you at least leave some for me!?"

The blonde began to visibly sweat as she looked over to the now-empty plate.

"Uhm...Well..."

"You didn't!? So Paimon has to starve to death!?"

"You ate two servings of Jade Parcels at the harbor before we came here, Paimon. You'll be fine." A heavy sigh fell from her lips as she patted her companion on the head.

"I'll make you some in a bit, okay? So calm down."

[alatusremains]

"We know ourselves.. better than anyone. We know one another's memories and secrets... So, why don't we each say something only the real Xiao would know?"

(@conquer0r-of-demons join us)

(*Insert that one picture with the two spidermans pointing at each other*)

-@the-adeptus-xiao

". . why do you look like me?"

[alatusremains]

"Well, it's clear that all three of us are thinking the same. Each of us claiming to be the real one, correct?"

(*Insert that one picture with the two spidermans pointing at each other*)

". . why do you look like me?"

[alatusremains]

The Yaksha's thoughts were racing in his mind at this very moment. had no idea how he kept his face stoic, despite his cheeks reddening. "Quit it, I'm fine." He was not fine. Not even a little. He gently pushed her hand away from his forehead. He knew she would keep asking more questions if he didn't say anything… And so, he quickly found a way out.

"…The almond tofu you made…" He had to get her to change the subject and steer the conversation away from himself. Anything to get her mind off of the "potential fever" he had "developed". "It's much better than all the ones I've had thus far." He continued, blurting out whatever came to his mind. He would be ashamed of his demeanor when he goes back to his duties. "...It just..." He looked her in the eyes and said the one thing he wanted her to know. ".... It tastes even better because you're the one who made it, Traveler..."

"Let me get a closer look." Leaning forward, she inspected his face more closely in search of any leftover crumbs of tofu. "Hm..."

"Yup! All clean! ーー But you're face does seem a little more red than usual? You're not running a fever, are you?"

Lumine carefully pressed one hand against the Yaksha's forehead, brows furrowed. She always assumed that Adepti do not catch colds, but perhaps this was caused by exhaustion from pushing himself too hard?

"It does feel a little hot...?"

[alatusremains]

Xiao knew how much of a stubborn woman the Traveler was. That was nothing new. He tried to turn away, but couldn't. In fact, he leaned against her hand ever so slightly while she removed the speck of leftovers from his skin. No one had dared to get this close to him since the beginning of his service... Although this situation seemed humiliating for him, it made him feel.... something. Some feeling that he had trouble identifying. He swallowed his pride and spoke softly, against his will. "…Is it gone now?"

Perhaps she was pushing her luck a little too much, huh?

"...Haah. I was afraid you'd say that." She muttered, lower lip pushed forward into a visible pout. Lumine was just a teeny tiny bit hopeful that he might accept her invitation, seeing how he was the one who asked her last year to release a lantern together by Pervases' Temple.

Of course, this is still a big difference from actually setting foot inside the Harbor and celebrating amongst mortals.

"ー But I won't give up! There's always next year!"

The Adeptus should know by now that she is a stubborn one - someone who always keeps going no matter how grim the situation may seem.

"Besiーー Oh."

Her eyes fell on the speck of almond tofu on his cheek, expression softening.

"Xiao. Don't move."

With one hand, she carefully cupped his other cheek to keep his face in place while using the other one to pull a handkerchief from her pocket and use it to wipe the almond jelly away.

"Mm! There you go. You had a little something on your face."

[alatusremains]

*hugs*

"..Hmph, foolish mortal..."

Important Announcement!

Greetings my friends! I hope that you are in a good health and spirit. To my roleplay partners, this is a public message. My exams are approaching at an alarming rate, and I often feel stressed, despite having started preparing early. My stress grew because of the amount of side blogs I have, and the fact that the number of threads I have yet to respond to keeps increasing... most of my side blogs will be inactive for the time being until further notice.

in Genshin Impact:

@genshinpillars (Canon divergent Archons + Neuvillette)

Although I only wrote Nahida up to now, this blog will be inactive until my exams are over.

@alatusremains (Xiao)

I will be active here. Xiaolumi is my stress relief. I will only respond to Xiaolumi-related threads. Other threads will be paused until my exams are over.

@theircosmicbrothers (Aether & Sunday)

My Aether will be inactive until I brainstorm my alternate verse of him! In that verse, he switches places with his Abyss Prince version due to an anomaly, and he changes his appearance after leaving the Abyss, trying to keep a low profile because of his reputation in that world... (Lumine is the Main Traveler there, just so you know). Will he be able tor return to where he was before, or not?

in Honkai Star Rail:

@honkaipillars (Canon divergent Aeons)

I didn't set it up, but it will be inactive until my exams are over. (I initially thought of making an Astral Express Crew multimuse blog, but I think my hands are full now... Sunday is more than enough!)

@theircosmicbrothers (Aether & Sunday)

My Sunday will be active. Sungue became my second stress-relief. I will only respond to Sungue-related threads. (Sparkle go away /j) Other threads will be paused until my exams are over. I also need to brainstorm my AU version of Sunny, but for now I'll only write his canon self! (in the AU version, he wasn't brainwashed by the Dreammaster at all!)

In Kimetsu no Yaiba: @kimetsupillars (the Hashira)

I didn't start any roleplay in there, but it will be inactive until my exams are over.

In Jujutsu Kaisen: @jujutsupillars (Jujutsu Staff)

I didn't set it up, but it will be inactive until my exams are over.

My Tumblr is spying on me... I mentioned that I would make an Aether & Sunday RP blog, and all of a sudden I'm seeing Sunday-related posts on my FYP...
