hi hello i am here to annoy u with streamer!kazuha hcs for the anemo hcs

when both of you are far away from each other, streamer!kazuha who has it somehow set up (dont ask me the logic) so that whenever you make a donation it’s unique from the others. he has a beaming smile when he hears the familiar ding!

“welcome back [name],” as he gives you a quick summary. half of the chat internally facepalms at how lovestruck he looks right now, and half of the chat spam “me and who” and crying emojis

no you hit a nerve with that; why do i love modern au genshin so much? if it’s not piercer!character, it’s streamer/ gamer!character, bro i’m so weak for that >///<

you just know that his lovesick expression and excited voice trend the next day; there’s a ton of clips, edits and even fanart cursing through the net, as always when you feature on his streams in any way, shape or form; by now even chat reacts to your personalised notification

but nothing compares to the first time you appeared on his live, which was also the time you accidentally walked into the room while he was streaming

even though you weren’t visible to them, chat flipped their shit at kazuha’s sunshine expression when he partly took off his headset and gratefully accepted the snacks and drinks from you

ever since that incident chat made it their mission to find out who this elusive mystery person was; the wildest speculations were flying around and kazuha and you had a blast reading through the conspiracies; but you also had an extensive talk about you showing yourself to his fans

eventually you agreed to make an appearance and to say his mods had the most stressful day of their lives when he pulled you into his lap in front of thousands of people was an understatement; the chat was going absolutely crazy, flooded with questions and thirsts; people didn’t know who to be jealous of, honestly

fortunately, kazuha’s community was very accepting (the community takes after the streamer in this case) and relished in the way their favourite streamer’s face lit up every time you were close; that is how countless kazuha x y/n stan accounts came into be they go feral over every bit of affection shown

although, kazuha thinks he has to seriously sit down with chat again when they get more excited about you coming on stream and start rooting for you when you play against each other, hehe~

☾Anniversary with bill𖤓

Summary: Bill takes you to a fancy restaurant for your anniversary <3

Bill kaulitz x gn!readed

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˗ˏˋ

It was your and bills anniversary today, from the time you woke up to the time you went to sleep, you were absolutely SPOILED by bill. He loves his partner and wants to let you know it!

When you woke up that morning, you were treated to breakfast in bed by bill. As we all know bill could sleep forever but he got up early to make you come breakfast.

Then, he took you to your favorite place! (EX: Park, aquarium, movies, exc) you guys were there for about an hour and a half just being silly and goofing off.

Now a few hours later, you were in present time, getting ready for bill to take you for dinner. As you were putting on your make up bill sat on your bed, just watching you in adoration. “Phffft what are you staring at Billy?” You ask, looking at him in the mirror. “Well of course my pretty baby, your just so beautiful.” Bill says walking over to you and resting his chin on your head

“Your so sweet billy, andddd…immmm… done! How does it look!” You say as you finish your makeup and turn your head around to show bill. He smiles and kisses you softly, “as beautiful as always my leibe.” He says grabbing your hand to lead you outside to go to the restaurant

Once you got there bill treated you like royalty! Getting your chair for you, opening the door for you, exc. Bill and you got each other gifts that you brought to dinner to give to each other.

After eating your meal, he claps his his hands together and leans down to grab the gift bag that he bought for you and pushing it your way. “Ok ok! Open it!” Bill said with a wide smile. You smiled back as you opened the gift

There were 3 separate gifts in the bag as you grab the first one, you coo and cover your mouth with a smile. He got you a sun ring, you looked at him as he lifts up his hand that shows a moon ring! You giggle and grab his hand to kiss it.

Next you grabed the second gift, it was a sweatshirt, but not just any sweatshirt! His sweatshirt, “it’s not a great gift but you always have loved that one so I wanted to give it to you!” Bill says with a smile. “I love it baby! Thank you!” You said smiling at him.

Now onto the third and final gift. You unwraped the gift and felt your eyes watering. It was a rose made of paper that was filled with Polaroids you you and bill with little notes of the back of them. You gasp, “omg! I love it..this is so beautiful.. thank you bill” you say looking at him with a smile and glassy eyes.

“Well, I have another thing! I got you a card!” bill says handing you a ‘happy anniversary card’ you opened the card and felt your eyes water again. The card said…

“Before I met you, I didn’t think love was for me. It was something other people had and felt. Something in movies and in TV shows. It felt more like a wish I had than something real. Now that I’m with you, it’s very real. I’m always thankful for the wonderful person I wake up to. The warm hand next to mine, the brush of hair against my cheek. I love you and because of that, I love myself and the world in a way I never thought possible. You’ve made that possible for me. You’ve made everything possible. Everything you do…the way you laugh, the way you smile, the way my name rolls off of your tongue…all that is what keeps me going. It gives me so much joy to watch you be you. I would never give my attention to anyone else because I love giving it to you. Your so important to me and I’d give anything for you.

Happy anniversary baby, bill <3

Your hand goes to your mouth as you reach over to hug him tightly, “thank you bill. Your so fucking amazing. I love you!” You say with a giggle wiping your eyes and kissing him.

You then grab bills gift! There was around 4 gifts in there. He grabed the first gift which was 2 necklaces, two matching necklaces. “Seems like we had the same idea!” You say with a giggle but it was two heart pendants, that when you opened it, it was pictures of each other. So bills had a picture of you and yours had a picture of bill

Bill immediately smiled brightly and put it around his neck, as did you. Then came the second gift, it was new makeup. You knew he was running out of his iconic black eyeshadow, so you decided to make it easy on him and get him some, which bill was VERY thankful for

Then came the third gift, it was a record of his favorite band! Bill was so excited, he moved around in his seat and held the record to his chest. Thanking you over and over again. As he kissed your forehead softly. The forth and final gift was a card. The card said..

“Billy, as I’m writing this, I’m thinking about that moment when you look at me and smile. Whenever you do that, my heart melts, and I wish I could stay in that moment forever. That is and will always be the best part of my day. I want you to know that you are amazing, and you can achieve anything you set your mind to! I will always be there to help you during your tough times, and I will always be there to share the joy with you. If you wonder just how much I love you, You are the sun in my sky, the river that runs through my soul, and the air I breathe. Before I met you, I didn't believe it was possible to love someone so deeply and completely, but you have given me faith that true love really does exist because I share it with you… I love you Billy, happy anniversary!

Love, y/n ❤︎”

Bill finished reading your letter, and looked up at you. Tears running down his face as he looks at you with complete love. “Oh my god, baby…this is so special to me. Thank you so much”

You and bill just spend the rest of the time sharing loving words and gentle touches. Once you and bill were back home, you guys just cuddled and kissed. You two were soulmates and nothing could change that.

✰ YEARNING FOR DARK SHADOWS - Brian D'Oliveira and Aga Ujma ( I like to think of this one as the story of how Misha was lead astray by so many people in his life. And then the second part of the song is more of the Misha / Luna vibes ... and in the event Misha lives through V.NC and Vanitas doesn’t ... it’lll turn into a VaniMisha song SDKLJFSF )

✰ I BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAID - Asaka ( This one more embodies the feelings Misha feels towards Vanitas and how he believes that he’s the one that understands Vanitas the most. Also how Misha will stop at nothing and how he’s willing to spiral so far downward just to get his family back )

✰ ANALOGY - Ayane ( Again, more of that conflict between Misha and Vanitas. This is more about the both of them rather than just Misha’s side )

✰ WITCHING HOUR - In This Moment ( This one is again more of Misha’s devotion to Vanitas except it like emphasizes the fact that their fates are inevitably going to be the same ie being destroyed by the Books and how Misha is entirely willing to take on the pain and burden for him )

✰ YOUNG FOREVER - Natewantstobattle ( This one is less focused on Vanitas and more of the situation Misha is in currently and how he’s trying to ignore the bad situation he’s in to save his family. Not to mention the one line ‘ You’re not alive until you’re ready to die ‘ makes me think of both his choosing to become the Kin of the Blue Moon and also willing to take on the pain and die alongside Vanitas because WHAT ARE BROTHERS FOR ? )

✰ BREEDERS - Poppy ( This one is HARDCORE Misha’s time in Moreau’s lab )

✰ YOU’RE NOT HERE - Mary Elizabeth McGlynn ( Another Misha and Vanitas bop )

✰ MONSTERS - All time Low ( This one is defs Misha and Vanitas but like more specifically after chapter 55.5 where the betrayal hits REALLY hard )

✰ SOLDIER’S ORDERS - Mary Elizabeth McGlynn ( This one is straight up Misha’s entire story in song form. )

✰ BONES - In This Moment ( More of the Misha/Vani dynamic emphasizing how they can’t live without each other. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY )

masterlist - serendipity

overview: secrets are all y/n has ever known, it’s what her family was built on. her mother and father pretending to be perfect and happy. but one day, an incident makes the white picket fence built on lies come crashing down. all that she had ever known burns to ashes and happiness is far out of the question for y/n.

transferring to a new school senior year adds more stress to y/n’s plate and after a series of her portraits go viral local ‘vigilante’ known as spiderman, y/n manages to obtain a job at the daily bugle to pay for college. this alleviates some of her worries but money and perfect grades just aren’t enough. luckily though, there is an art program, perfect for y/n’s resume. the only problem, the one kid in all of her classes, and always manages gets on her damn nerves, peter, is going up for it too.

y/n and peter are always at each other’s throats. arguing and fighting with every chance they get, but somehow, they always end up together. school, work, you name it. but this closeness, this pull, somehow makes them open their eyes, and realize they are not so different after all. and somehow manage to hate each other, a little bit less. tw’s: alcohol use, drug abuse, violence

[the-travelling-witch]

hi, hi! i saw anemo and sprinted here because i adore those cuties. ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡ anyway, maybe it's just me, but i love the thought of them just combing their hands your hair or vice versa and just looking into their eyes all lovingly. the thought makes me feel so full of affection and that nice feeling in your chest. sigh i love the anemo boys ♡σ(•▿•σ)

you and me both, dear, you and me both *dreamy sigh*

xiao is flustered to the max when you gently run your fingers over his scalp but he makes no move to push you off; no, archons forbid you stop, the slight pressure you apply to your fingertips makes him melt even further into you; even a vigilante yaksha could doze off like this…

but xiao is a giver by nature, so after carefully observing your motions, he wants to return the affection; he’ll start off slow by pushing your hair behind your ears when he notices it fell into your eyes and slowly work his way up to massaging your scalp just like you do for him while you lean against his strong chest

not gonna lie, heizou might not even actively notice you’re running your fingers through his auburn locks when he’s concentrating on something; yet, he still nuzzles into your hand, humming blissfully as he pressed his head back into you more

on the contrary, when he’s playing with your hair, you have 100% of his attention; he’ll curl strands of your hair around his finger and watches with rapt curiosity how the locks glide over his palm when he pulls his hand away just to repeat the process again; no matter how often he does it, he’s still as fascinated by the soft sensation as the first time

if other people saw what you were doing, they might be surprised how you haven’t lost your hands yet; but don’t be fooled, scaramouche soaks up your affection like a sponge and when it’s just you two he’ll also show it openly; as someone who’s prone to headaches and wears a heavy hat all day, the feeling of your fingers in his hair, nails slightly scraping his scalp is basically heaven and he closes his drowsy eyes as he leans back further into your chest

scara is also much more open to giving you the attention you need than others would believe; in fact, he loves nothing more than having your head rest against his chest as he absentmindedly cards his fingers through your hair, the light pressure he applies making sure you also stay there; he swears he is reading much faster with your evened out breathing as background noise, your chest rising and falling against him in a relaxing rhythm maybe he also just wants to finish this quickly so he can wrap both his arms around you and join you in dreamland :>

[i had to put the other half under the cut]

most of the time it’s venti who grabs your wrist and brings your hand towards his hair, his distinctive green hat already lying somewhere in the room as you comb out his braids with your fingers after he flopped his entire weight on top of you; while he mostly does it when vying for your attention, there’s a grounding aspect that comes with it; so much so that if he’s shaken awake by a nightmare once more, a few caresses through his hair paired with loving pecks can instantly calm his racing mind

this bard loves twirling your hair around his finger!! he’s playful as can be, sending a light breeze to curl around your strands, scrunching them between his nose and lips as a fake moustache, plopping your chin on top of his head to have your hair frame his face or gently placing his cap on your head instead, all the while cooing at how cute you look; when he’s more serious though, he loves when you sit shoulder to shoulder under the big tree at windrise, heads on top of each other as the evening breeze rustles through the leaves, your hair slightly tickling his nose

kazuha loves when you help him dry his damp hair, relishing in your soft giggles as you playfully cover his eyes with the towel before going back to work, patting his white hair dry with great care so as not to ruin the usually fluffy cloud; if you pair that sensation with the warmth of the blow-dryer, can you really blame him for slouching his shoulders, responses only half-lucid anymore?

he loves reading to you, whether it’s poems, books or even softly singing, the way his words vibrate against you is pure bliss; sitting somewhere outside, in the shade of a grand tree, your back to his chest, you could listen to kazuha forever as his melodic voice rings out close to your ear from where his chin is perched on your shoulder, the fingers of his other hand slowly rolling a strand of your hair between them

nothing sends aether faster to dreamland than you playing with his hair; you have to be very careful he doesn’t just topple over face first into the vanity when you brush a comb through his golden tresses after a long day full of commissions; because he came dangerously close to giving himself a concussion once as his body just slumped over (luckily you managed to catch him in time) you decided to move your hair brushing session to the bed from now on; he’ll also let you braid his hair in the morning, rubbing at his still sleepy eyes and yawing as he drinks in the sight of you in the mirror with a lovesick smile

once aether is fully awake though, he’s practically begging to let him style your hair; he definitely has a lot of experience, not only doing his but also his sister’s hair; whether he’s braiding it to match his, weaving in silky bands and pearly beads or securing a handmade flower crown on your head, you can rest assured it always looks stunning (and even if it didn’t, the excited look on his face and the otherworldly feeling of his fingers gently parting your hair would be worth it nonetheless)

[the-travelling-witch]

I'm a big fan of Scara hiding his blush with his magnificent hat, pulling it over his face to obstruct your view from it. Now imagine pushing the hat away to see him look at you all surprised and red-faced, only to give him a short sweet kiss that has his cheeks flare up with colour all over again.

He's so cute I love him so much, can you tell

hehehe he‘s so cute like that, it makes me want to make him blush even more~

and what’s the best way to do that?

step closer him and push the ornamental brim of his hat up until you can slide it completely off his head; his half-hearted protest does nothing to hide how much he is actually enjoying this (let’s be honest, if he didn’t want this you‘d know)

scara flushes so deeply in the prettiest shade of crimson when you hold his gaze and cup his cheek with your free hand; the way he subconsciously leans into your touch doesn’t go unnoticed by you either

by now, his hands have most likely settled on your waist already; although a little timid at first, his grip grows firmer and more confident when you hum at his touch and press even closer to his chest

his hat lies forgotten on the floor when you connect your lips at last, finally being able to slide your other hand up his nape and into his dark hair, lightly tugging at the strands between your fingers to coax a beautiful noise from him

if only you had your eyes open, you‘d have an unobstructed view of the vivid blush decorating his fair features; although, thanks to the close proximity, you might just feel the heat radiating from him <3

[⇢ ˗ˏˋ｡˚ anemo hours ☾ . ೃ˚⋆࿐]

[the-travelling-witch]

Kuni loves plushies. He finds comfort in them and especially likes to make his own little dolls/stuffed animals.

aww that’s so cute🥺

imagine scara sitting in the sumeru forest, listening to the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves overhead, his hat leaning against the bark of the tree he’s leaning against

the distinguishing accessory draws -by now familiar- attention, the jingling of curious aranara filling the air; to onlookers it might be a curious sight: a former harbinger peacefully sitting amongst the bubbly children of the forest

and, to be frank, it wasn’t always this way; no, at first, kunikuzushi used to shoo the little creatures away to sit in silence but his voice notably lacked any true malice; the more often he visited the forest, the closer the aranara came, most intrigued by the floral like pattern of his remarkable headwear

only when kunikuzushi fell asleep once while trying to sow a stuffed animal closed, did the children of the forest grew bolder than ever; this was how the blue haired man opened his eyes to find several of them surrounding the plushie that had fallen from his hands, trying to weave the needle through the plush material

maybe it was his still drowsy state or his lack of energy to maintain a venomous front but with a sigh, the vision holder picked up his project and taught the eager students what he knew

little did he suspect his new friends would diligently work to hone their crafts and subsequently present him with a multitude of handcrafted gifts for their blue nara by the next time he stopped by

[to tug at your heart strings a little: i headcanon that scara is very soft for the aranara but can’t quite place why

actually it’s because the aranara represent the playful and dream-filled world of childhood; as someone who is emotionally human but who never had the chance to be a child, scara longs for their company; he’s healing his neglected inner child, you could say]

[⇢ ˗ˏˋ｡˚ anemo hours ☾ . ೃ˚⋆࿐]

[the-travelling-witch]

(for the brain rot thingie) i love xiao so much ; - ; always thinking about how touch starved he is. he at first recoils from touch because it's so unfamiliar and strange to him but then it's like oh. oh i can't get enough. and he's so shy and hesitant asking for more but when he DOES get to hold you, it's so tight and protective and fearful to let you go. i am soft for him. i want to hold his hand T_T

hngh yes!! touch-starved xiao will get all my love and affection, no questions asked, i‘m so soft for him <33

xiao holds you so timidly at the beginning of your relationship, almost like he’s afraid to touch you, as if you were a blooming flower who‘d wilt in his grasp

and that’s basically how he sees you; he’s convinced his karmic debt would taint you if you spent to much time in his proximity, so he holds you an arm‘s length away, for your own sake; his longing to feel more of your touch, more of your fingers gracing up his arm, more of your lips fluttering against his cheek goes neglected because he‘d never forgive himself if his selfishness was what brought about your fall from grace

putting up a strong front, xiao keeps acting on this principle until your love cracks the façade he tries so hard to maintain, like a flower cleaving its way through solid rock while growing towards the warm sun

the first time he let you hold him completely was when he was at his most vulnerable; his head was spinning with ancient wrath, tearing his mind into a million different directions and ensnaring his lungs; but throughout all of it, a tender touch kept him together and allowed him to breathe again

without the fog clouding his mind, xiao slowly but surely found himself come to again but the comfortable sensation which had freed him from his frenzy didn’t stop, instead, soft circles continued to trace along his chest

cracking open his somber eyes, he found himself staring at your understanding smile, your eyes full of love as you brushed his teal bangs out of his face; that night, you stayed like this for a while, with xiao’s head resting comfortably in your lap as you offered him gentle reassurance

after this incident he’s a lot more open to physical touch and -to his embarrassment- realises how much he craves it now; he’ll still blush like crazy when you hold his hand in public but now his fingers squeeze back in appreciation as he tugs you closer to his side

but there’s nothing that compares to the feeling of having you wrapped safely in his arms, just the two of you, as you press fluttering kisses along his temple, jaw, cheeks, the corners of his mouth and even his eyelids before finally landing on his lips

how could you not fall for him a little harder when you notice how his grip on you tightens just a little bit as he hides his flushed face in the crook of your neck?

⇢ ˗ˏˋ Happy New Year ﾟ☾. ࿐

Another colourful year is coming to an end and what an interesting one it’s been. Of course, it hasn’t been without struggles and hardships but no year is; on the flip-side some pretty awesome things happened like me finally going on vacation in South Korea after two years of pandemic throwing a wrench in my plan. But, personally, the most impactful thing happened at the start of the year on a whim: the creation of this blog!

As a mixture of New Year’s resolution and spontaneity, sharing my work actually gave me something to look forward to and was a great creative outlet to get away from life for a few hours. Not to mention, all the lovely people I had the honour of meeting solely because of being here; it’s not an understatement to say my year would’ve been a lot more lonely and definitely less fun without some of you; my 2022 wouldn’t have been the same without you

𝐕𝐈𝐏 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭!

You were one of my first moots, my first genshin moot actually, and really did make the beginning of this blog feel more like home.

Mei, I genuinely love seeing you on my dash and get super excited seeing you in my notifs, whether you’re chomping down on Zhongli or sitting down to watch your favourite drama show, aka Childe and my daily life. You’ve been so supportive throughout all of this, my heart is fluttering just thinking about it ♡

Rebby, you’re genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I love how excitable and high-spirited you are, whether it’s about a fandom or a personal matter; having someone so cheerful around really does make you see the bright side of things ♡

Moth, my cute nocturnal butterfly, did I already say you’re adorable? Because you are; seeing a little moth flutter across my dash does always bring a smile to my face; I’m making a roast beef sandwich right now to bribe you into coming over more often heh ♡

𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚, 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧- 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐰 !

Chi, our love language really is sending each other funny videos, isn’t it? Our fyp is linked up already anyway, across more than one social media platform apparently; but even if we’re talking outside of that, whether it’s all fun or serious, I think we understand each other pretty well and I’d say that’s pretty neat ♡

˗ˏˋ– starry night blue x @scaranya

Esther, we’ve not been talking for that long honestly, but I feel like I’ve known you for a while now. No matter if we’re simping, discussing writing prompts, distracting each other from studying or you’re listening to me overthinking my clothing size, I’m always having a good time. Also, I heard there was a certain collab in the making… ♡

˗ˏˋ– lavender purple x @bunny-rambles

Eris, the person who’ll send me the most cursed German memes at times and my gosh I love you for it. Another one who fits the category of tumblr acquaintances to talking outside of tumblr; my New Year’s resolution is to further pull you down the Genshin rabbit hole with me ♡

Ayame, my sweet, you are one of the loveliest people I had the pleasure of meeting. You’re so understanding and welcoming, I feel like I can talk to you honestly and without hiding a part of myself ♡

I know I have many more lovely moots, especially since the last couple of weeks (looking respectfully at the blue lock crowd), and I really hope we can talk and get to know each other more next year; I certainly look forward to it!!

Emmie, the person I’ve dubbed my big sis hehe; I think you have such good vibes, very girl boss and empowering (does that sound weird?). I hope you’re not tired off me yet, I have every intention to keep pestering you in the coming year too ♡

˗ˏˋ– ocean teal x @writingseaslugs

Salt, I’ve said it before I believe, but I get way too excited seeing you on my dash; I read every character you write for, even the ones I’d normally skip, your ideas are simply too creative ♡

Again, to everyone who interacted with me in any way, shape or form this year, thank you for making my 2022 memorable, I want to give all of you a big smooch; hope to see you all safe and sound in the next year!!
