“you know what would put a victorian child into a coma?”

rin sighs at the question that comes out of your mouth. it doesn’t surprise him, though. years of dating you, he’s learned to be used with your random questions like this once in a while. but he is your boyfriend, is he not? and as a boyfriend, he supposes he’s expected to humor you.

“what?”

“that one video of you from the u-20 match.”

now, he certainly wasn’t expecting that. the video of him from what now? his attention shifts from the soccer match playing on the tv to you sitting beside him on the couch, your head laid on his shoulder and his arm loosely hanging around your waist.

“what video?” what are you talking about? rin wasn’t even aware that the match between blue lock and japan’s u-20 was broadcasted live. you were there, he made sure of it. he even walked up to ego himself and demanded that you get sent a ticket. so he’s sure that you saw the game wholly but.. what video are you talking about?

“you know, that video.” you emphasized, as if that gave him a whole lot of clues to work with.

“you have to elaborate on that, babe.”

“that thing in the second half. where you were basically catapulting through every player on the field with your tongue hanging out.”

oh. that. rin scrunched his nose at the memory.

“yeah, you never really told me what happened there.” you hold his hand as you speak, silently letting him know that whatever you say isn’t meant to trigger him in any way. he once mentioned in passing about how he felt during the u-20 match.

“you were very cool, not gonna lie. very very awesome. but like.. your tongue hanging out? uhm.. i got the ick— ow! rin!”

the hand that was once in your palms is now holding your face hostage. rin’s fingers dig into your cheeks, not so much that it’ll leave a mark but enough that your voice comes out muffled as you protest.

“you talk too much.” he snarls.

“you like it when i talk.”

“do i? that’s a debatable claim.”

“you love me, though.”

“unfortunately.”

The amount of fics clearly written by AI I've come across on this platform is so frustrating. And NO ONE is poiting out how obvious it is that it's AI 😭 I'm hoping it's just because people don't know how harmful ai is but it's still very annoying.

I don't really see this problem on ao3, but I've found at least like 3 this week scrolling through tags. Stop posting your ai fics without at least tagging them as ai generated or something.

[Thoughts about an MC who gets periods]

Getting periods in the Devildom must be pretty rough. Demons probably don’t get them, and the number of humans freely wandering around has to be incredibly low. If MC takes the form of a sheep then they likely don't have to deal with it immediately, but eventually that's going to wear off and they'll revert back to a human. Does the Devildom even have pads and tampons for sale?

MC might have to sheepishly ask Barbatos if he can acquire some in bulk from the human world. Barbatos would remain professional as always when inquiring about the use of these products and their role in daily life. He'd have to report it to the prince. They're both aware of what periods are, but only in a vague "oh yeah, humans do that" kind of way. (Perhaps in the future, Lucifer could use his secret Akuzon account to order more?)

There's surely some plant or potion that prevents them, but they're not meant for long term use. Probably tastes nasty over time and covers human skin in a weird oozing rash if consumed too often.

A month or two into the exchange program, MC might have to call up Solomon for aid.

---

“Can you help me with something?”

Solomon, not too interested in MC yet, agrees just to be amicable with his fellow human exchange student. They must be scared! They must be missing humans! “Is something on your mind?”

“You know how to do magic, right?”

What a silly question. It’s almost refreshing to hear. “I do.”

“Do you know… like, uh, smell…? Reducing magic? Something to cover up smells? Without being obvious, I mean. I feel like I stink and I was really hoping you could help me figure something out.”

How cute, he thinks. He can’t quite remember the time when he smelled fully human anymore, and he can’t really smell the distinct odor on people that demons can, but he knows demons can easily sniff out a human from afar. “Oh, don’t worry about that. It should go away on its own as you spend time here.”

MC isn’t convinced. “I don’t think it will…”

“Trust me. How are you finding Devildom cuisine? I know you’re not used to it, but eating more will help you adjust. I can whip up a few simpler dishes for you to try if you need help.”

MC is silent for a bit. Solomon thinks his job is done until they say quietly, “that’s not the problem.”

“What?”

“I’m pretty sure the brothers I live with can smell, uh, my cycle.” No use being coy about it, better get straight to the point. “They stare at me when I’m on my period. I think - no, I know - they can smell the blood. I’ve seen them sniff the air when I’m around. It's weird. And I can’t exactly stop it from happening every month.”

“Oh.” Now it’s Solomon’s turn to be quiet. He’s embarrassed and surprised, a little humbled, and also really interested in this problem. It’s not something he’s ever thought about before.

MC continues, “I think they can tell when I’m ovulating too, Asmo started lingering around more often, and Lucifer looked scarier than usual, and they all stare more, and-”

“I think I get it.” Solomon can’t stop his face from turning pink. Despite his usual grin, he doesn't think he’s ready to listen to the rest of MC’s sentence.

There should be an easy solution, but it’s something that warrants testing if MC doesn’t want the brothers noticing a sudden spell cast upon them. It could get mistaken for something malicious. Solomon says, “I might be able to help. Can you come over today?”

Keqing x GN! Reader

Modern AU, not proofread

You had finally convinced Keqing to take a break from her work and join you on your shared bed. You had finally gotten her to sleep at a decent time at night (as if you could call 11:30pm "decent").

You weren't much better than her, though.

Here you were, next to her sleeping form, writing the last page of your essay that you procrastinated on. You drag her to bed only to do the same thing you were attempting to save her from. But you had to get her to take a break- she had been working until midnight the past 4 days. You weren't sure her eye bags could get much darker.

You try to rub the sleep from your eyes, giving your eyes a rest by looking at the girl next to you. She had her arms wrapped around the pillow, her face squished into it- a similar sight to how she often held you. Her long hair covered much of her face when it wasn't tied up in a cat ear like fashion, and her expression was soft, much unlike the tense, scrunched up expression she had while staring blankly at her computer.

You sighed and forced yourself to pull your eyes away from her, focusing again on the essay you had to finish. If you finish it now, you won't have to worry about it later- that's what they always say, right?

You were finally snapped out of your trance (rather, violently shoved out of it) when your phone began ringing in your hands.

In your bumbling, half unconscious state, you drop your phone onto the ground and frantically attempt to reach for it while not waking up Keqing.

You finally do, but you were too late.

Her hand blindly reaches out and manages to grab your phone, her thumb searching for the off button.

"Hypocrite." Is all she says in her sleep deprived state.

You consider yourself lucky, as if she was more awake, you would have gotten many more chastising words.

Her arms wrapped around your waist, her hands tugging at your shirt to get you to lay down. Your phone was lost next to you, too enamored with her soft touches of affection.

She huffed, not even opening her eyes to look at you before cuddling into your side. "Just go to sleep."

Reblogs/comments are greatly appreciated <3

currently sick rn haha. my sinuses are clogged, got this headache and an awful sore throat, but thankfully i have some medicine to help curb that and i get the excuse to relax at home :) been drinking lots of water, hot tea and gatorade! staying hydrated is cool kids haha

doing my personal favs because being sick gives me sick privileges haha

anyways enjoy <3

Sick Day

Mammon

he's literally attached at the hip with you, or as close as he can be, which is next to your bed in a chair

he's acting like you're dying even if it's just a common cold that you'll shake off in a day or two

mans will literally run to get you anything you need and be back so fast you weren't even sure how he moved that fast

even if there's the risk he might be able to catch it himself, he doesn't care, that just means he gets to spend more time with you!

Satan

probably the most rational and will take every measure to make sure he's caring for you right

he reads extensive literature and gets a doctor to come in and diagnose you even if it's just a cold so he can care for you best

you're on a speedy track to recovery in his hands

if demons can get it, he'll still spend time with you, just expect him to take extensive measures to avoid getting sick haha

Diavolo

he can't be by your side all the time likes he wants to be because duty calls unfortunately

but, he will slip away at anytime he can to see you and bring you anything he thinks you might like

this includes games you can play alone and together, snacks, some light reading, and anything you might need to fend of the symptoms of the sickness of course

just know, he's got you on his mind while he's doing that paperwork, counting down the minutes until his next break where he can come visit you

Mephisto

initially a little freaked out, like wdym you're sick? he's very rich boy core so of course he's not experienced in caring for the sick

but, you can help him help you, as much as you can of course

in a way, he's kind of boyfailure but that's ok because he is trying his best for you and wants to see you better

he'll even spoon feed you soup, what a cutie <3

Thirteen

the best caretaker for when you're sick hands down

she'd keep you company, she'd cook you tasty food, she'd ensure your drinks are always cold, and of course help you get better

and she enjoys it too! she really cares about you and wants nothing more than to see you better again so you can continue your shenanigans

when she's around, you're never sick for more than a few days at a time. she's a miracle worker!!

LOVING YOU! (2)

How a relationship with them would be.

- with: Rin Itoshi, Sae Itoshi, Ryusei Shidou, Michael Kaiser, Alexis Ness, Eita Otoya, Yo Hiori, Ranze Kurona, Oliver Aiku.

- small sypnosis: blue lock boys in a relationship with you + hcs.

- a/n: this was requested by a lovely person in my comments! editing this was a red carpet so i added a bit of green, although this turned out longer than the first part :') i wrote this hoping it would be realistic and it could be a little disappointing for some characters, but please don't take it to heart! and also i know you guys ain't colorblind, you deserve better cmon..

part 1. <3

- Rin Itoshi: UNHEALTHY.

Trouble with completely healthy relationships is most likely something he got mainly from his past (Sae). Perhaps a bit of trust or jealousy issues, might involuntarily push you away or distance himself, and add in his already "grumpy" or overly serious behavior: that's because he would have to still get used to loving properly. I think that with time and enough patience (therapy), he can learn to feel more comfortable and acknowledge a romantic relationship without having the issues he started with to maintain it.

- Sae Itoshi: UN-HEALTHY.

In my opinion, Sae is a more difficult character to understand. In between healthy and unhealthy: being more mature than his brother, he does realize his mistakes faster and is not above apologizing to you first, overall knows how to treat you nicely; that doesn't mean he won't struggle with other few things. I don't see him having trust or serious jealousy issues, but I do think he could instead involuntarily act much less interested or caring, and it could result in some trouble for you two. Nothing you can't fix together, though.

- Ryusei Shidou: TOXIC.

His aggressive personality sells it. Was it like Bachira's (part one!), being solely odd in an innocent way, I would have said you just need to adapt to him. But, considering how prone to violence he is, being aware and content with his toxicity, that wouldn't work. Way too strange for a steady and healthy relationship, no need to elaborate much. Sorry </3

- Michael Kaiser: TOXIC.

Also is complex character: except, unlike Sae, he doesn't really get the benefit of the doubt. Shown in the beginning as arrogant, his superiority complex is slowly dying down for his insecurities to replace it, but not his toxicity. There are too many things that would trouble not only him, but your relationship as a result. Seriously struggles expressing proper love to the people he cares for, take Ness as an example, especially in the last few chapters regarding him; can get upset beyond reason, and handling both him along with his attitude could be a little too hard as of now. :(

-Alexis Ness: UNHEALTHY - TOXIC.

Nice guy persona, overly sweet. And yet, much like Reo (also in part one!), if you ignore Kaiser for this, he would still be most likely suffocatingly clingy or overly dependent on you. No, he's worse than Reo: the jealousy issues are seriously something that could get out of control, he'd probably fear of abandonment and it would result in him being too attached to you. This could rapidly turn into a one-sided love: an interesting thing is that, because of this, your relationship itself would turn toxic due to those things it lacks, before he himself does. I'll put him in between unhealthy and toxic, in case his kind personality is brought up. </3

- Eita Otoya: TOXIC.

The fact he cheated before and seemingly still does not understand the reason why it is wrong, meaning there's a great chance he would do it again, should alone be something you'd avoid him for. Let's say you won't, though: it would probably not last for long until he grows either tired or finds something to do that he would risk the relationship over for. If he decided to do it once, he'll do it again. He's a cheater, there's not much to elaborate here..

- Yo Hiori: VERY HEALTHY.

Honestly would be a great boyfriend. Already is a good person, with a kind personality and polite manners; despite most likely not having experience, would pick up fast and learn in not much time; very understanding and caring, so there are little things you could fight about, and even then, I don't see him allowing any arguing to get past a needed talk. Not much to say except he deserves some love for who he is as a person and reassurance every there and then. Settle in comfortably, it's going to last.

- Ranze Kurona: HEALTHY.

Much like Hiori, except Kurona would be less friendly due to how introverted and quiet he is. That does not mean he wouldn't be good to you: he really would, simply in a chiller and less 'loud' way. Could struggle more with a few things not only because he is on the younger side, but also because he seems to be a bit needier for reassurance due to some little facts that could make him self-counscious about himself, at times: not in an overwhelming way, fortunately. Overall, made for a long term relationship.

- Oliver Aiku: UNHEALTHY.(?)

I wouldn't say outright toxic, but it is canon he's a womanizer, although I'm not exactly sure how far it could go: so, let's consider the possibilities. There's a good chance he would do his best to be a good boyfriend and it wouldn't take him much effort since he can be mature and understanding, and another one that he would entertain other options whilst already in a relationship; or, would assume you're okay with sharing him in the very first place, even without having a talk about it, as he did before. Since our stats are more possible on the negative part, I'll have to say unhealthy..

// cn server spoilers, new marius MR card

Emotionally vulnerable/sensitive reader [Tears of Themis]

Vyn Richter, Marius von Hagen, Luke Pearce, Artem Wing x GN!Reader (Seperate)

A/n: every time I try to write vyns name I almost write ritcher instead of richter 😭 also my least favorite is artem so he might be out of chatacter but I figured if I'm doing three I might as well include him too

Vyn Richter

-Of course, he's dealt with patients who are pretty sensitive

-He tries not to treat you like any patient though

-If someone says something and it bothers you, he can instantly tell, there's no hiding it from him

-Hes also quick to get you out of the situation, easily coming up with some excuse to get you to a private place where you can calm down

-The best at calming you down really, he knows all the best techniques to calm a break down

-If he said something to hurt you he'd never forgive himself

Marius von Hagen

-Instantly glares at the person who upset you (even though it's not always their fault or not intentional)

-Alao very good at getting you out of an uncomfortable situation but is sometimes more mean about it than Vyn

-Although he can't always do that

-He can't really just leave a gathering whenever he wants but he knows that the high class people at those gathering aren't really the friendliest peope ever

-Especially because your dating him- they aren't all going to be nice

-He always tells you that if someone upsets you, you can leave and he'll probably notice your gone in under a minute and come find you when he gets the chance to sneak away

Luke Pearce

-Prides himself on noticing the little things about you

-So of course, he can tell when you're upset and trying to hide it

-His technique is less about calming you down and more so distracting you

-He'll comfort you if your crying, but after a bit he'll try telling funny stories from dumb things he did as a kid or weird things he's been given as an antique shop owner

-He gets you to laugh and soon you've forgotten about crying

Artem Wing

-The first few times you get really upset, he doesn't really know what to do

-Doesnt know what to say to calm you down so he usually resorts to more physical affection

-He'll hold your hand, squeezing it every now and then as if silently letting you know he cares and can see you're upset

-Once you're both alone he asks what's wrong

-He wants to learn more about how to deal with that kind of situation, so he asks what he can do differently if it happens again

Masterlist!

Obey Me! Cooking HC's [Dateables vers!]

Obey me! Dateables x Chef!GN!Reader (Luke is platonic ofc!)

Not proofread, all of them could probably be read as platonic

[Brothers Version]

Barbatos

-He's glad there's another competent chef around

-He refuses to let you cook alone when your at the castle

-Even though he deserves a break he insists on helping you

-He understands that cooking is different in devildom compared to earth

-He's the one to go to if you're learning new recipes with ingredients from devildom

Simeon

-Also one to praise you all the time

-He's your biggest fan tbh

-His biggest love language is quality time and what better way to spend time with one you love than to cook with them

-If you two are alone in purgatory hall (you refuse to cook when solomon is there in fear the might ask to help) then he'll turn on some music and just cook with you

-Like Luke, he prefers to bake but he'll make anything you want as long as your happy with it

Diavolo

-He can get you any ingredient you need

-You want some random human ingredient that they don't have in devildom? He'll get it for you.

-Found some strange (probably cursed) recipie that calls for some obscure dangerous ingredient? He actually already has it!

-Its totally not because he overheard you talking about it and immediately ordered someone to get it.

-He never really had to cook for himself so he's not very good bit he knows the basics

Solomon

-As we all know, he's an awful cook

-You tried helping him once against the brother's warnings and it still was just bad

-He's cursed

-He will always ask to help, but if you just keep him away from the food and ask him to wash dishes or something it usually turns out fine

-Give him a few sweet words, tell him he deserves a break and that you'll do all the cooking, and he won't touch anything

Luke

-He LOVES teaching you about recipes from the celestial realm

-Horrible at explaining how to make things but that doesn't matter cause he's adorable doing it!!

-He gets so excited when he gets to "teach" other people

-He prefers to bake but he enjoys cooking as well

-He always says he wants to be as good as you eventually

[Obey me]: MC falling in love with Diavolo

Summary: The most powerful human, overthinker as every woman is, falling in love with the most powerful demon. No spoilers.

###############################

I remember I do, the first time I appeared here falling from the sky my eyes locked onto his with unwavering intensity. He exuded overwhelming elegance, his presence so immaculate, so radiant, so majestic. While I had yet to be informed of his royal status, it was a truth I instinctively grasped without needing confirmation.

"Skin of sand, eyes of honey, hair of fire" is all that filled my thoughts as his eyes captivated my sight whole.

"Eyes of honey" It's cold. "Eyes of honey" I'm adrift. "Eyes of honey" What strange realm is this?

The room unfamiliar, the faces foreign, the attire surreal. "Eyes of honey... eyes of honey".

Limbs frozen, fists clenched "Eyes of honey... eyes of honey" where am I?

Diavolo: "Welcome to the Devildom MC. .. Oh, pardon me. Feeling a bit shocked are we?"

"Oh... it speaks..."

Diavolo: "My name is Diavolo. I am the ruler of all demons, and all here know of me."

"Eyes of honey... the tolling of bells."

Diavolo: "And someday soon I will be crowned king of the Devildom."

###############################

I read the other day in the RAD Newspaper that the hue of the next king's eyes, Diavolo's, is a unique emblem of his lineage, exceedingly rare even among their kin and the colours found in nature. Liars. Ever since I came here 3 years ago, It is all I see everywhere, all the time, on everything. I could swear my pupils have been coated with eyes of honey, for whenever I close my eyes, his gaze manifests without fail.

I am not naïve; I know what this is. He is undeniably handsome, a prince on the brink of becoming king. He possesses the charm, the intelligence, the chivalry, the wealth, the smile... and the eyes of a man with whom to fall in love. And I am a human raised on fairy tails. The equation might be complex but its result is unmistakable.

However, I am me. And me doesn't like embarrassment, rejection or a three realms worth of attention and gossip. It is the natural course of events to feel deep affection for Eyes of honey. But it is also the right course of events to relegate it to the realm of pre-sleeping fantasies, even if my mind refuses to adhere to this reasonable schedule.

I mean, I do feel the desire to seduce when I am around Lucifer or Mammon or Simeon or Solomon and others. Hell, I even flirted and went on dates. For the same reasons perhaps. Beauty, intelligence, talents, tact... or is it? I don't deny I was unwillingly comparing them to Diavolo all the time, I admit I imagined every flirt and every courtesy as if between me and Diavolo. But it still counts... doesn't it?

I blame this on Diavolo to be frank. Had he not summon me here to witness extraordinary power and charm, I wouldn't have invited him into my fantasies. Had he not call upon me on every events to be its centre. But then again, I AM the exchange student after all. Or perhaps hadn't he showered me with gifts, shown such care, and asked so kindly... He IS the ruler and I AM under his guardianship, aren't I? Had he not protected me so dearly? Again, he IS the most powerful. I don't know, I have no base but I blame him I do. I blame him for it all. And above all, his gravest sin remains... He looked at me with his eyes of honey.

The other night, at the ball, when we danced I could swear it was only the two of us dancing.

In the council room, when his hand brushed against mine, I could feel the heat from his flushed cheeks radiating across the air.

His late-night text and calls asking silly things amongst which is thrown the smallest sentences about how he wishes for me to be with him or for him to be with me. A future king cannot possibly be asking a human about muffins at 3am the eve of a world changing event, right?

The angry rumbling in his chest every time the demons and angels get too cosy with me?

Every time we found ourselves alone his voice carried the weight of a suffocated man in desperation of someone to set his lungs free. The urgency in his voice and the half calls for affection were real. I want them to be real.

Silly silly human. It's rather amusing, isn't it? For every time I tried to initiate even the most innocent flirtations or slightly intimate exchanges, he would deflect or evade. It's almost comical. And if not him, Barbatos or Lucifer would intervene... those sly serpents. Perhaps Barbatos sensed the impending embarrassment through his powers and chose to spare me the humiliation? AAAAHHHHH... This is so mortifying.

Whyyyyy? Why are you doing this to me Diavolo? Does it amuse you to toy with me this way? Spare me the pain and caste me away. For I cannot oblige myself to restrain from you. Be the bigger person, the adult in the room, the king in the kingdom and set me free.

###############################

Tears streamed down her face as she pondered all of this.

Lying on her bed in the dark at the house of lamentation, she was holding her phone above her face.

On the screen, a text conversation was visible, with the name of the correspondent adorned with a yellow heart: "Eyes of honey💛"

The text read:

___________________________________________

Eyes of honey💛: "Your fireworks display tonight was truly spectacular. I had no idea your magical prowess had grown so strong."

MC: "Haha... Thank you. The sky was indeed breathtaking."

Eyes of honey💛: "I am sure it was, but the true beauty was seeing it reflected in your eyes."

___________________________________________

In the chat box, she had typed "I love you" for the first time, acknowledging it as love rather than mere affection. It was the first time she had ever written those words, the first time, despite the consequences of it all, she had seriously considered putting an end to both their agony.

Obey Me! Cooking HC's

Obey Me! Brothers x Chef!Gn!Reader

Not proofread!! So probably a couple grammar mistakes

A/n: i think this is my first actual post for obey me?? Anyways I'm turning 17 FINALLY I feel like I've been 16 for like 4 years.

[Dateables version]

Lucifer

-Once he finds out how good you are he puts in charge of meals

-He is NOT good at cooking, but he doesn't want to admit it

-Sometimes he watches you cook in the kitchen under the guise of making sure the brother's (who always ask to help just cause they wanna spend time with you) don't burn the house down

Mammon

-Praises you at every chance he gets

-Brags for you a lot

-You'll be eating at some restaurant, and he'll be like, "we all know you would make this dish way better than these guys"

-Very loud about it too

-Asks you the difference between a liquid and dry measuring cup

Leviathan

-Like Lucifer, also kind of a lurker in the kitchen

-Unlike Lucifer, though, he eventually does ask you to teach him to cook

-Honestly though he's not that bad of a cook

-He listens pretty well, so he's actually a good assistant in the kitchen

Satan

-One of the best cooks out of the brothers

-Also the first one to offer to help you in the kitchen

-All of the brother's copied his idea, and then he got mad at them because of how often they'd mess up

-(Mammon was upset he wasn't the "first" to do something with you for once)

Asmodeus

-Cooking streams!!

-He convinced you to do a stream with him where you teach him to cook something

-Tries to get you to start your own channel

-Cannot follow a recipe.

-Starts throwing random ingredients in that he thinks might be good without you noticing

Beelzebub

-Hes the best cook out of the brothers

-Its not really something he prides himself on

-You assumed that he was a good cook

-But then he offered to help you one day, and you were like

-Omg?? Why didn't you tell me you were this good before??

-He still prefers your cooking though

Belphegor

-Learned a little bit of cooking from Beel but he's honestly a very average baker

-Like he can make a mean sandwich and has a couple favorite recipes that he's mastered

-But ask him to make a basic chili??

-He has no idea

-Decent at following instructions just don't give him any task that includes manual labor or he'll quit immediately

By the way, for people who did not stay informed about Palestine throughout last week:

Isreal has planned to attack Rafah and to completely close the border to Egypt on the first day of Ramadan. This week is the very last week where we can help disabled people to get out. We do not know when the border will be open again, but it could last month if not a year. And evacuating those people out is extremely expensive. If you can please send money to either of those 2 links:

The money is going to Safebow to evacuate kids under 4yo, disabled, and pregnant people. Those are people who definitely will not survive if they are stuck in gaza. They are extremely urgent cases, people with cancer, who need insulin, people with broken mobility aids etc...

please help.

If you're giving at least 20€, you can send me proof of it and I'll count it as an art commission.

Anyone who reblogs this post will have their user written on a poster saying "We Stand With Palestine" that I hope to put up somewhere in the village I live in, or the town that the village is next to.

I'm not gonna write for hazbin hotel (probably?) But I'm hyperfixated on it and I need to get this thought out

Tw//mention of abuse

So you know how abuser were often abused before? I headcannon, like many people do, (might be cannon I honestly don't know) that Valentino was abused while he was alive and then when he went to hell became the abuser.

He also has garbage eyesight, which is likely because he's a moth. But he also wears glasses, literal rose tinted glasses. What if his rose tinted glasses actually make his vision worse. Maybe he keeps wearing them because he doesn't realize it's hurting him and thinks it's helping.

I hope we get more info about the vees in season 2

Impermanence - Part 1

Hu Tao x Gn!Reader

Summary: You find Hu Tao incredibly annoying at times, and in return, she seems to make it her life's mission to annoy you. A trip to Wuwang Hill changes that.

Enemies to friends to lovers, use of y/n (once)

--

You never understood Hu Tao.

How on earth did she manage to seem so happy, so carefree, with that kind of job? Here she was now, yelling with that annoying sing-song voice about some two for the price of one offer on coffins for adventurers only, her little ghost swirling around her like some sort of mascot. It annoyed you for some reason, how she spoke so lightly about something that horrifyingly followed so many people wherever they went.

And here you were. Forced to cross the bridge near the funeral parlor- cross her path- so that you could get to the adventurers' guild and claim your rewards.

You had to hold in your groan of annoyance. You could turn around, you could walk all the way around the city just to get to the guild, but your body ached from the 3-day mission you were sent on, your mind felt cluttered, and you just wanted to go home as quickly as possible.

So you sucked in a breath and started walking again, away from the shop you stood idly by while debating how to avoid her, and out into the open.

She was talking to someone, shoving a flyer into their hands. Good. Maybe she would notice you as you tried to slip by. You took one step onto the bridge-

“Hey! Y/n!” You heard from behind you. Your hands clenched and you tried, and failed, to force a smile as you turned to face her.

“Have you heard of the new deal? If you buy it within 48 hours, you’ll get a whole 50% off!” She chirped. As she walked- practically skipped- towards you, her ghost quickly followed behind her. It left Hu Tao's side, instead swirling around you. Yet another thing you might never understand is why this ghost seemed to like you so much. Every time you ran into Hu Tao, the little ghost would circle you, wrapping around your wrist or whirring around in your hair.

It frightened you the first time you met it, but Hu Tao assured you that it wasn’t the soul of some long-dead adventurer and you gradually got used to its presence and its liking for you. And, although you’d never admit it aloud, it was rather cute.

“I’ve heard.” You replied hastily before continuing your walk.

“Hey, I did come over for a reason. There have been some issues on Wuwang Hill, and I need an adventurer to come help.” She added, stepping next to you and matching your stride.

“You go up to Wuwang Hill alone all the time, don’t you?” You try to recall the times she’s talked about her trips to Wuwang Hill, and never once did she mention requiring an adventurer to escort her.

“You can never be too careful.” She remarked.

After a bit more convincing on her part and a hefty sum of money as a reward you agreed to the commission. The subtle tug on your sleeve by the simpleminded-looking spirit may have also played its part in convincing you.

You trekked up the mountain the next day with Hu Tao. The stars and moon were bright enough to see almost everything in your path, but you still questioned if it was really necessary to accomplish this mission at night.

“If you need a nightlight, I can light my staff for you.” She quipped. “There’s nothing wrong with being scared of the dark.”

You felt your face heat slightly. “I’m perfectly fine, thank you.” You replied flatly.

Hu Tao began explaining why she was here in the first place. Some sort of quick ceremony to help release souls. As she spoke about the ceremony, her voice became softer. When you finally looked away from the path ahead of you and took a glance at Hu Tao, you felt your breath hitch. She glowed under the moon, blue light reflecting off of her dark reddish-brown hair. Her lips were pressed thin, but there were still the remnants of a soft smile.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you be serious about anything.” You commented.

“I have respect for the dead, and for the work I have to do, believe it or not.” She giggled after.

It took a moment for you to reply. How does she expect anyone to believe something like that when she speaks so carelessly about it all of the time?

“I don’t believe it.”

She only grinned.

—

Only a few hilichurls interrupted you and Hu Tao during the ceremony. Speaking of hilichurls, she dealt with them easily. You haven’t seen her use her vision much, but you knew that she would have dealt with them easily. The way she fought- the way she moved- it was like a dance. Captivating. And the way the fire from her vision scattered around her and burned through anything that attempted to harm her was enchanting.

“I don’t get why I had to be here…” You muttered as she packed up the few things left from the ceremony.

She laughed again. Annoyingly pitchy, yet you found yourself also thinking of it as stupidly cute. “You can’t always predict when death might come. Someone should keep an eye on me."

Casually morbid as usual. “Lucky me.” You said sarcastically as you followed her down the mountain path again.

Barely a moment of silence passed before she rushed to grab your hand, her warm palm on your wrist as she dragged you along with her. “What are you-”

She cut you off before you could even finish your question. “I figure I should pay you back for keeping me company up here.”

Despite you now willingly following her to wherever she was taking you, she didn’t let go of your hand, instead letting her fingers comfortably intertwine with yours. You felt warmth crawl up the back of your neck. You almost wanted to say something, but you were already flustered and she’d only tease you more if she noticed.

She pulled you up onto a large rock, her ghost swirling around her and resting on her lap as she sat down cross-legged. You stood beside her.

“Am I supposed to be looking at something..?”

“The moon, dummy!” She said as she pointed above you, eyes flickering between you and the sky. Her voice grew quieter. “The moon is beautiful, isn’t it? The sky is lovely at night..”

You turned your head up to the night sky. “... Yeah.” You sighed, finally sitting down next to Hu Tao. Maybe you did understand Hu Tao, to an extent. Hell, you probably wouldn’t fear death either if you took the time to admire sights like this a little more often.

All of her attention seemed to be on the moon and the stars scattered across the sky. You tried to focus on the same thing but found your gaze falling to her once more. You saw a rare hint of vulnerability behind her eyes. Her lips parted, then closed again, and you suddenly began wondering what words she was holding back, and what words she had held back before. You already saw earlier how passionate and dedicated she actually was to her work, and now you want to know what else she has beneath that facade.

No, facade wasn’t the right word for her. You had no doubt she was just as annoying as she always was. But there was something more to her that she didn’t let on, something raw and fragile. Emotions bubbled inside of her that she didn’t like showing.

And yet, right now, she’s letting you have a glimpse at it.

Perhaps if you saw this everyday, you’d learn to not fear death.

You quickly looked up at the moon again so she didn’t notice your staring. Embarrassing. “As pretty as it is-” As pretty as she is- “We should go. It’s late."

She finally turned to you and nodded.

“I like looking at the moon because it reminds me of how beautifully impermanent and insignificant life really is sometimes.”

“Poetic.” You quipped.

“Does the night not invoke a sense of creativity in you too?”

“I guess it does.” You laughed and shook your head.

You laughed.

Hu Tao made you laugh. You weren’t rolling your eyes in annoyance. You weren’t scrambling to find a way to get out of talking to her. You weren’t filtering through your mind for an excuse to leave as fast as you could.

You were just.. Talking.

—

Fontaine.

You were invited to go on an adventuring trip to Fontaine. The place where all waters eventually met, where new technology was innovated, the Nation of Justice.

Granted, you hadn’t agreed to go with them yet. You were still mulling it over. You didn’t have a lot in Liyue, but it was still your home, and 3 months is a long time to be away from home.

“You’ll really be gone for three months?”

Hu Tao pulled you out of your thoughts. You have found yourself around Hu Tao a lot more ever since that trip to Wuwang Hill a few weeks ago. It wasn’t really on purpose… Not at first. She just happened to begin going to Wanmin Restaurant. Every day. At the same time, you went to Wanmin Restaurant.

And you just happened to not mind her company.

“Yeah. If I decide to go, that is.” You pick at your food, shoving it around your plate while deep in thought.

She seemed to perk up at that. “What’s stopping you?”

You glanced up at her. “Not sure.” You said, but you knew why.

You tried denying it. You weren’t exactly the best at deciphering romantic and platonic feelings but.. Something about that night in Wuwang Hill sparked something in you that you haven’t really felt before.

To be completely honest, you hated it.

Still, even though you’d rather crawl into a hole and stay there forever than admit to Hu Tao your growing feelings, you wanted to stay for her.

And apparently, that’s what she wanted too.

“You should stay then,” she said confidently. “I still need an escort to go up to Wuwang Hill. You didn’t think that ceremony was a one-time thing, did you?”

“But.. you definitely didn’t need me up there. You’ll be fine on your own.”

“I do need you.” She responded, leaning towards you with her hands on her table. There was a hint of desperation in her voice, but it was covered up by her determination and cheery demeanor. “I mean... I know I would have been fine, but it’s safer to have someone else around. I feel safer when you’re around, y’know?”

Your heart skipped in your chest and you tried not to outright gawk at her words. She didn’t really say anything that crazy but... She felt safe with you?

“Oh.” You felt that familiar heat crawl up your neck as you kept your eyes trained on the almost empty plate in front of you in a desperate attempt to seem normal. “Alright. I’ll stay.”

All it took from her was a few words and suddenly you made your decision? What was wrong with you?

“Great!” And just like that, she was grinning at you from across the table like nothing happened.
