The Kinich sickfic is DONE!

It's not much, about an average length one shot, despite how long it took me to finish. But I'm still really happy to have actually written something!

As always I'm just going to let it sit a tiny bit before I get started on editing. But hopefully I can still get it out within this week. I'll certainly try my best!

Big thank you to everybody who's still here and still reading my writing, even through the long drought of fics ❤️

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

This was an absolute masterpiece omg! This is the type of fic I can see myself reading and rereading so many times over

Characters: Alhaitham, Cyno, Kaveh

Warnings: emeto, possibly ooc

Fandom: Genshin impact

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

not me quite literally reading ‘Fresh Out The Oven’ while mindlessly eating cookie dough and ending up in the same predicament as Cyno…

I am truely, very very stupid

Oh no! 🤣 You chose full immersion!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

please make kinich one of ur sickfic victims 🙏 it will be an actual dream come true

Already on it, Anon! I'm actually in the middle of writing a Kinich sickfic! (I haven't worked on it in a few days, but quite a bit of it is already written)

Since I don't know when I'll have anything to post, I'll leave you with a small snippet!

The shrill ringing of his cellphone jolted Kinich from a dead sleep. Groggy and disoriented, he groaned and pulled his pillow over his head. Who was calling him at such an ungodly time? And why were they calling? Kinich hated phone calls, he insisted on communicating through text messages unless there was an emergency.

His ringtone seemed to be burrowing into his brain through his eardrums, so Kinich reluctantly reached out and felt along the bedside table until his hands closed around the vibrating phone. He lifted it up and squinted at the name on the screen with bleary eyes.

Mualani.

His best friend and neighbour. Why would she be calling him? Was it an emergency?

A tad more awake, Kinich sat up in bed and answered the phone. “Hello?” His voice came out in a hoarse croak, and he awkwardly had to clear his throat.

“Hey!” Mualani’s cheerful voice made his head throb, and Kinich had to pull the phone away from his ear. Her tone suggested it was not an emergency. “What's up, you're not answering any of my texts?”

Texts? Kinich lowered the phone to check his notifications, raising his eyebrows. Oh, those were a lot of unread texts. No wonder she called him.

update from the concert:

super fun but I def had some hiccups like eating too close to getting on stage and feeling very nauseous while dancing

the smell of sweaty teenagers and costumes that have been worn fifty times this week was definitely enough to make me nauseous lol but that’s kinda something you have to get used to in theatre :/

The costumes for my first number were so fucking hot I felt like I was dying. We were wearing big fluffy coats and winter-wear under stage lights. Amazing costumes but NOT fun to dance in haha

I can’t imagine having to do theatre while sick, my voice could barely handle this in the first place, let alone with a sore throat T-T

my anxiety was definitely mitigated a little by thinking about Lyney getting sick on show nights cuz he never fails to make me giggle

I might do a little doodle of him suffering side stage cus DAYUM, stage lights and costumes are HOT

my thoughts are all over the place because I’m exhausted so sorry about how scattered this ask is lol

Oh man, just know you have my utmost respect because that sounds like actual hell. I would not be able to perform under those circumstances! (I mean, me myself wouldn't perform under any circumstances because I am not made for the spotlight, but that aside) Amazing job at getting through it!!

This gives so much potential for Lyney torment though, you're absolutely right. It makes me want to pick up some old Lyney projects. I once started (and never finished) a fic where Lyney collapses backstage after finishing a performance. I also had a multi chapter fic planned out where Lyney gets sick on a tour, but hides it and keeps performing and steadily getting sicker as the trip progresses. Argh, you're making me think a lot about these!

I'm working on a different fic right now (I am in fact writing again and a oneshot is cooking 👀) but I might just have to do something Lyney centered after I finish this!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

I love characters getting sick when they're not home, and especially when they can't easily go home. Sick in public, sick in class, these are all great, but I have a soft spot for characters getting sick on vacation or, my beloved, a road trip. Even if they find a place to hole up, it's not home. Absolutely love that.

As for least favourite, I had to think a lot about this. I'm not a big fan of unrealistic or exaggerated scenarios, and I don't enjoy anything sexual (nothing against it, just not my cup of tea)

Sunday Sickness - 1

What are your favorite (and least favorite) sickfick or emeto tropes?

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

Another thing the recent Fontaine event reminded me of — Just how hard I ship Lyney and Lumine

Can we talk about this whole scene where Lyney didn't feel like going out, only to immediately agree when he heard the traveller was there?

(ignore the fact that you can see my Aether in the background)

I love them. I want to write about them again. My Lyney fics actually happen to be some of my favourites to go back and reread

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

Okay so it seems to be a theme with Genshin that the limited events will randomly make me fall in love with a random character I didn't think much of before.

In the case of the newest event; Kinich.

I went from having almost no opinion on this man to loving him so much. Also just?? How did I never see the ship potential between him and Aether??

I love them now

If Aether wasn't already with Albedo in my main series, I probably would've smooshed these two together.

I'm half considering having a lil' spin off modern au series where Albedo was never in the picture and Aether dates Kinich?? But admittedly I have no idea if anybody would even read that so lmk

Long story short, I love Kinich now, and he'll likely become one of my sickfic victims

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

nudge nudge…

still alive?

Yes! Still alive!

Actually I've been scraping together the courage to post here again, haha! Playing the new Genshin event has made me brainrot a bit and I've been meaning to yap about it

(I have not played the new archon quests yet, so I won't be saying anything regarding those)

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

u. mmmmmmm.

ar e we okay. are we alive. its been nearly half a month im worried

Ahhh I'm alive I'm okay I am sorry

Whenever I don't post anything for a while I go into this guilty phase where I feel so shameful for not posting anything, that I keep procrastinating posting, which just turns into a cycle.

I feel so bad for just how inactive I've been 🥲 And I don't have a good excuse either, because things have completely calmed down in my life and I'm actually doing really well right now. I just haven't been getting that urge to write and admittedly I haven't done much to try and get back in the groove. And I feel really guilty for that

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

APPRECIATION ASK TIME!!!

i NEED to remind you just how amazing you are RIGHT NOW or I’m gonna EXPLODE

I love checking your blog every morning and afternoon and it makes me so unbelievably happy when I see that you’ve answered an ask or posted a fic or just posted anything really. Your blog has probably been one of the only things that has been consistent in my life in the whole time I’ve been following you, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to articulate how much it means to me

you’re an absolute inspiration when it comes to both writing and just reminding me that no matter what, my people are out here on the internet. The fact that you’ve never made me feel like I’m cringy or a weirdo means so much, especially with me being autistic and definitely very weird, paranoid about being seen as creepy of cringe, and also often unable to tell if my paranoia is warranted means so so so much to me, and I want to make sure you really really know how amazing you are for that

Oh my god, how have I not even mentioned your writing talent yet??!! Your fics are actually so fucking good that I sometimes genuinely can’t handle it. I’ve cried so many times reading your fics, sometimes because the emotional parts are just so touching, but quite often because it just makes me so excited and happy that I physically can’t keep it inside me. Your writing style tickles my brain so amazingly, and sometimes I lay in bed just thinking “how is this real and how is there a real human being behind this, wtf?” (/pos), because it’s just so hard to wrap my head around how lucky I was so find someone like you who writes the stuff you write on the internet and it’s just… mind boggling

I could say so much more, but I’m close to my bus stop so I have to wrap this up before I get off lol

(btw, I know this ask could be taken as a cause of concern for my mental well-being, but I promise I’m fine. I just feel a bit manic and emotional ((in the best way)) this morning and I need to tell everyone how much I love them or I’m gonna explode)

I read this this morning right after getting up, and it was the brightest start to my day I could've asked for. You have no idea how much this made me smile. I almost don't even have words!!

Thank you so, so much! Thank you honestly doesn't even seem to cover it. I can't express just how happy it makes me to know my silly little blog with all its silly little stories has made such an impact on somebody, and has brought somebody this amount of joy. Like, I did this! I made somebody happy!! And that makes me so immensely happy and makes me want to continue writing and creating.

Seriously, this means so, so much to me. I'm so happy you've enjoyed my blog this much, and I'm so happy you've enjoyed my writing as much as you have. Just, the thought that somebody likes me fics that much, I can't wrap my head around it, it makes me so happy and joyful and I don't have words to describe all these emotions I'm feeling. Thank you so freaking much, and thank you so much for all the support over the years you've been following my blog. You are awesome!!

Thank you so much, again, a million times over! Thank you!

I. NEED. POOR. PRECIOUS. BABIES. CRYING. UNTIL. IT. TRIGGERS. THEIR. GAG. REFLEX.

totally did not just experience this and then cheer myself up by turning it into a fanfic idea... totally...

Firstly I am sending you hugs because that's not a good time at all.

But being able to cheer yourself up by turning your own misery into fuel for fics is so real (I do it. So. Much.) and I will absolutely agree that is a fantastic scenario fanfic-wise.

There's two scenarios here; one, they're already sick and queasy and emotional, so something easily makes them cry and cry enough to gag from it. Two, they're perfectly healthy, but something happened that just sent them spiralling and breaking down to the point where they cry themselves sick. And oh that second scenario breaks my heart but I love it!

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

note to self: do not try to sprint 2 kilometres in 35° heat and UV index at 9 just to get somewhere on time

(I missed my bus stop when I was supposed to meet up with friends and tried to run. Ended up almost passing out and I was still too late to see them. Also tried to chug some juice when I got home to rehydrate and almost threw up)

this honestly sounds like something Cyno would do. Like, imagine if Nari is sick, and it’s a really hot day. Something went wrong when Cyno was out buying meds or food or something and he ended up having to walk home. He’s good with the heat, so he thinks he can do this. Turns out he can’t. Turns out he threw up before he even got home and when he does get home, Nari is just… “what the fuck?”

hehe, fun thoughts

(OH MY GOD I JUST TJOUGHT OF ANOTHER ACENARIO WITH THE SAMW OUTCOME BUT IT’S VALENTINES DAY AND CYNO IS LATE AND TJINKS HE CAN MAKE IT)

This reminds me SO much of that Heizou drabble I wrote once, where he was late for an exam and sprinted to class. This one, I actually went back and searched for it!

But oh dang that sounds like such an unfun experience 😭 I love the sickfic potential, but that still had to suck!

Though I genuinely love the idea of Nari being sick and Cyno pushing himself to those limits to get something his boyfriend needed. That is just pure perfection and I absolutely might have to write that one day- AND THE VALENTINES OPTION TOO!! That's so Cyno coded 😭

Thank you so much for the brainrot I will be thinking about this all day now

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

Been thinking about this all day so I gotta get it out of me somehow:

Normally stoic and badass characters suddenly throwing up after the adrenaline wheres off from a near death experience (monster showed up/mission gone wrong/you get the idea). They’re on their knees dry heaving and gasping for air in front of their team. Now said team is trying to figure out how to calm them down.

Character Nausea-triggers Headcanon List

This headcanon list was suggested by @obsessed-mosquito; "I wanna know your head cannons for the genshin boys’ (+lumine) nausea triggers outside of straight up being sick (When I say triggers, I’m thinking like specific smells of sights or thoughts, and whether they’re super sensitive or if it’s just an annoyance)"

This really got my brain gears turning, so let's dive in!

Gorou

I'm kicking things off with Gorou because he's one of the few characters who's confirmed to be very squeamish in my AU!

Gorou isn't squeamish in general; blood, gore, and commonly-seen-as-disgusting topics, don't faze him. But he's very squeamish around actual vomit. He's a complete sympathy puker.

Hearing or seeing somebody throw up, makes him nauseous. Seeing or smelling the vomit itself, makes him nauseous. Talking too much about vomit, makes him nauseous.

When it comes to actual vomit, he's sensitive enough that he's very likely to throw up himself.

It makes writing him such a joy, I love him 😭

Kazuha

Kazuha generally has a strong stomach , but spoiled food is something that gives him the ick.

Opening a carton of milk to find it's gone sour, picking up an apple that has a squishy spot, opening the fridge to find something is smelling rotten, that'll nauseate him a little. It's not severe enough to make him actually throw up, unless he's already sick!

Okay I need to yap less or these will take forever-

Tighnari

Strong stomach, again, this man isn't phased by many sights. Emphasis on sights.

Even in the modern au, Tighnari has an exceptional sense of smell. Really strong scents are extra harsh on him, and can make him queasy. Think being in a crowd of people and constantly smelling a mixture of strong perfume and sweat. Think the smell of rotting flesh. Think the various smells of harsh chemicals. They're all bound to make him a little nauseous.

It's not typically enough to make him actually throw up, but if he can't get a breath of fresh air and remains trapped breathing in some really strong unpleasant smells, there's definitely been instances where it's eventually made him vomit.

I'm not yapping less, am I

Cyno

Iron stomach. Smells, sights, nothing phases this man, no matter the level of disgusting.

The one (and potentially only) thing that does trigger nausea in an otherwise healthy Cyno, would be the smell or taste of a food that had recently made him sick/he'd recently thrown up. Say like, in the past month somewhere, he was sick and he threw up something he ate, like pasta for example. For at least a couple months my guy's not touching pasta and the smell of pasta will make him queasy. Not enough to physically throw up again, but enough to steal his appetite.

Heizou

For him it's not sights or smells, it's tastes. Heizou has a very strong stomach for the most part and seeing or smelling something won't faze him. What will faze him, is biting into a burger or a piece of chicken and finding it's either over or under cooked. Even if it's still completely safe to eat, the taste of especially undercooked food, will make him nauseous.

And if it tastes really bad, there's a good chance his body will just immediately reject it.

Aether

I love to think of Aether as this guy with a "nothing phases me" attitude and reputation, but then he'll gag as he's cleaning his cat's litter box.

Like the silliest, most random things will make him nauseous. Gory movie or seeing another person vomit? No big deal. Having to clean his own freakishly long hair out of the shower drain? Gotta avert his gaze or he's going to gag.

Albedo

Pretty much nothing. If he's not actually sick or already feeling nauseous due to a different reason, nothing's going to trigger this man's nausea. He's probably the one person on the planet who's got a stronger stomach than Cyno.

Lumine

Definitely a stronger stomach than her brother, but she has her triggers. Very specifically, rotting flesh. The smell of rotting flesh is one of the only things that can make Lumine nauseous enough to want to throw up. Especially rotting fish, but any rotting flesh will do it.

Just death in general isn't a problem! It's specifically the smell of something rotting that'll make her queasy.

Lyney

Squeamish boy! Especially when it comes to bad gore, or somebody else vomiting. It's not typically enough to make him throw up himself, but it can certainly make him kind of dry heave, and his eyes will immediately start to water (rest in peace to this poor man's make up)

I can absolutely see him on the rare occasion that Lumine's sick, sitting on the floor with her and holding her hair back, but he's got his own face just buried in the crook of his elbow because he refuses to get nauseous when he's fine and she's the one who's sick.

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

I found out tonight that gore is actually a massive trigger of mine for nausea! 😀👍

My partner convinced me to watch squid games because of a couple characters he really likes, and I’ve enjoyed it a lot, except for the fact that I get a really strong urge to gag whenever there’s a lot of violence (it varies on how intense it is, but it’s always there). I’m almost done season one but I had to turn the tv off after episode six before I threw up on my couch because that shit is intense. (I actually love this show so much though and it’s really frustrating that my inability to stomach all the gore stops me from binging it)

To her to the actual point of this ask, this all got me thinking though about nausea triggers in general, and how different people have different ones. I now wanna know your head cannons for the genshin boys’ (+lumine) nausea triggers outside of straight up being sick, so here’s this ask 

(When I say triggers, I’m thinking like specific smells of sights or thoughts, and whether they’re super sensitive or if it’s just an annoyance)

(Btw, no pressure to answer this quickly, it’s just some food for your brain if you ever want a prompt for going into excessive detail about characters)

Ahh this took me so long to answer, primarily because I wanted to put a lot of thought into answering this and not just rush through it! (Y'all know how I love head canon list. Nausea triggers, how haven't I ever thought of making a headcanon list on that??)

I am gonna make the actual prompt list in a separate post, just because I really want to put a lot of thought into it because that's what makes headcanon lists so fun!

(I really miss the days when people were asking me for all sorts of headcanons and lists, so this makes me so happy and excited 🥹 Thank you so much!)

On a different note, oh man that sucks!! I've never watched squid game, but I've watched a lot of things with heavy violence and gore, and I'm very fortunate to say that I'm not squamish at all in that area. That's gotta suck though, I'm sorry you have to deal with that! May your suffering fuel plenty of sickfics so you at least have something good to take from it!

I'm gonna get on writing that headcanon list, so expect that to be my next post 👀

[dutifullyshamelessearthquake]

just asking,not pressure or anything at all!

will you do the September prompt in the future or?

Yes, that is the plan! Right now my main goal is to just get myself to write. I haven't written seriously in almost two months, so I am incredibly rusty, and I'll admit that I've been procrastinating just because of how long it's been since I last actually wrote something. But I definitely plan on continuing last year's sicktember requests, as I have a lot of those one shots already written in my head!
