> head to a grocery store

Enough procrastinating. You are strong of heart. You will obtain your Noodles (and/or Flour), no matter how distressing the crowds.

You head towards Chihu Rock, where there are grocery stores with more sensible prices.

The smell of gailan and overpriced flour fades as you leave the fancy grocery store behind. (The smell of necrotic flesh and coconut milk does not fade. This is likely a sign that there is some carcass stuck to your spear.)

As you proceed, you encounter an obstacle. A wheel has fallen off a cart in the middle of the road. The crowd has slowed to a crawl around it, and some people are shouting angrily at the cart's owner. It is very difficult to get past.

(NOTE: "Go around" implies a detour. The other options are, of course, literal.)

Your name is Shenhe. You are a normal human being.

It is late afternoon. Today's date is unimportant. In two and a half hours your friend Yun Jin will be coming over for dinner.

To make your “signature” noodle soup you must still acquire Mushrooms and Noodles. You have hunted what you can. Now you must go to a store and exchange money for goods.

Perhaps you were procrastinating on this part. You do not like crowds, after all.

> return to Liyue Harbour

You hear the city before you see it, with the clamour of voices and the clatter of footsteps on cobblestone and the clanking of tools.

Arriving at the public park to the north of the city, you make your way down to the pond at Feiyun Slope.

You glance at the steps outside Bubu Pharmacy. The child from earlier is gone.

There is a spectacled man on the steps. He wears loose flowy robes over a comfortable shirt. He is staring at one step in particular, upon which is a pool of dried pigeon blood.

He is frowning and massaging his temples. In your opinion, he seems dissatisfied.

The snake coiled around his neck whispers something into his ear. He turns his head and, spotting you, beckons you over.

“Miss Shenhe,” he calls out. “May I have a word?”

You blink sympathetically. It is unclear whether the woman in green notices.

She sniffles again. An infection?

You check her forehead temperature. She is not feverish.

> ask whether she is sniffling because of allergies or because of crying

“You sound congested,” you say. “Do you perhaps have allergies? Are you crying?”

“I... I'm not crying right now,” she says.

A clever evasion. But you will not be fooled.

“Were you crying earlier?” you ask.

The woman buries her face in her arms and nods. “Yes,” she mumbles. “I was. I've been having a really awful day and I got sad. Is that so bad? Even adventurers in books get sad sometimes.”

Ah. It seems she feels ashamed for crying.

“It is not bad,” you reassure her. Thinking back to the lessons Master taught you in your youth, you continue: “There is no shame in having strong emotions. It is only our response to such emotions that ought be judged.”

The woman nods slowly. “I guess...”

“Did your strong emotions cause the maiming of innocents?” you ask.

“What!? No...”

“Did they cause you to disrupt a master artisan deep in thought?”

“Uh...” She blinks. “I don't think so...?”

“Then do not feel bad for crying,” you say.

She parts her lips as if to say something, but no sound escapes them. Instead, tears well up in her eyes.

A minute later, she begins to sob freely.

After a while, the woman looks up at you.

“I'm sorry,” she says. “I'm just complaining and complaining and... What about you? Are you okay? How are you?”

Making long-form webcomics is like

hunger

sub! character x Dom! Reader facefucking

Characters: Tighnari, Venti, Heizou x Kazuha, Thoma x Diluc

Wordcount: 1,5k

Tighnari

Tighnari sucks your cock like it’s a work assignment. He’s serious and focused, there’s no hesitation or shyness in him, despite him sitting naked on his knees in front of you, only a slight frown of concentration and ears attentively tilted forward, like he’s figuring out the best solution to a problem. He doesn’t start slowly, instead, immediately takes you in deep, starts bobbing his head up and down fast and diligent. As with everything he does, he’s very good and he knows it.

Feels as though I’m a lot getting more emotional the past few days

It feels nice—no, really good—to write about Dawn Winery this way

[dkniade]

People tend to throw out the phrase "extremely specific kinks" as though that inherently implies something transgressive, but in my experience, the overwhelming majority of extremely specific kinks are so innocuous that you could see them in public and not even clock them. For every person who can only get off to having their nipples electrocuted, there are a dozen who are volcanically aroused by seeing their partner wearing one specific pair of socks.

i glance at my tumblr mutual reblogging from me again.. blushes and looks away..... my trasured mutual, you mysterious and charming being.....what are we? i hope... maybe someday, we could be something more... something like..discord friends

[dkniade]

I’m writing about Dawn Winery and getting emotional over nature and spring and flowers and wineries. And I was reading back on Kaeya’s and Diluc’s birthday letters over the years when I realized Diluc doesn’t have a 2024 letter yet

Today’s April 27. His birthday is April 30.

“Wait, Diluc’ birthday is in three days”

The struggle between

“This (academic) creative project is too challenging and I want to give up. It’s such a long process and dealing with all these narrative/technical parts under a time constraint is difficult and confusing and it’s all so imperfect in the end argh. It’s so painful I NEVER WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN.”

during the project, and

“ARGH the SATISFACTION of finishing this project and looking back at it after some time to see how much it’s progressed and how much I’ve learned from it is amazing. I WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN just to feel this” afterwards
