#😭... lightning sandwich...

[feketeribizli]

diversity win! the cars from your childhood are bisexual

[asukiess]

I have this wip where nathalie wrestles with motherhood + the time she lost with Adrien and anyway. he encourages her to go back into the archaeology field, lectures or symposiums or public classes that might interest her, and. it got me thinking of adrien planning a first day back to school for nathalie 😭

like. he wakes up early, earlier than her even, careful to stay quiet in the kitchen while he packs her a lunch. fighting off horrible suggestions from plagg as he bounces between pantry and kitchen and on the balls of his feet as he assembles whatever lunch he thinks up for her. 

he resists the urge to play her, though the thought makes him laugh. knock on her door and politely let her know that she has an hour before she has to leave. does she have her bag? does she have her homework?

no, it’s better like this, catching her shocked expression at the foot of the stairs, her eyes fixed on the brown paper bag he’s clutching. 

Adrien, you didn’t have to—where did you—? 

Adrien shrugs. It’s almost hard to speak around his smile. He saw this in a movie. This is how first days go. It feels good to him to give this to her. 

To Nathalie, this is a mirror of how she failed him. This is what he never had. 

Outside, he’s practically bursting with excitement as placide pulls the car around and nathalie is laughing a little now, telling him he can start his day now—but wait, he says, grabbing his phone, she has to take a first day picture!! He ushers her against the door, but the lightning is too dim so he runs down the steps, calling after her to follow. yes, here, where the sun is shining against the ivy and roses—

“You always make that pose!” adrien laughs, waving his hand at her torso, which her hands are hid behind. 

she scoffs down at her feet, fighting a smile. what pose? she doesn’t pose.

“bring your hands forward, c’mon! we’re celebrating nathalie sancoeur’s 17th first day of school!!”

reluctantly, awkwardly, she lets her hand fall to her sides and resists quite terribly to make them into fists. is she holding them too far out to her side? Sweat beads at the nape of her neck. 

he tells her to smile, and she does. genuinely. After all, it’s hard not to mirror his. 

he keeps snapping pictures—she was blinking, the sun was on her glasses, oh, the dreaded smear frame!! 

(they’re all perfect pictures, he just wants a lot.)

adrien opens the car door for her. she says she wouldn’t have minded walking, it isn’t far. he clicks his tongue, looks out past the gates. no, the house isn’t far from a lot, and there is a kind of thrill to running to school—

Nathalie says okay, okay. Before she can say sorry, he’s ushering her inside, wishing her a fantastic first day. smiling, both at his joke and at her, like she’s something worth smiling at. like he enjoyed, more than anything, doing this for her. 

placide is silently wiping away tears at the stoplight. nathalie, a failed-stoic and blubbering mess in the backseat, playfully tells him to cut it out. they’re representing a brand, she jokes, echoing Gabriel’s words from over a decade ago now, have some decorum. someone honks behind them; they’re taken too long at the light. what a softie he’s turned into, she whispers. 

the trepidation she feels on the institute steps makes her all too aware of how alone, how scared he must have been to see her call after him that first day. a lifetime ago, she held her mother’s hand on the way into primary school. she squeezes her hand into a fist. adds it to the running list of things she should feel guilty about forever. 

Later: nathalie feeling incredibly liminal on campus, alone and frazzled with emotions on a lone bench. she opens the bag and sucks in a breath. 

he put in a little note. it’s hard to read through welling tears. 

With a mind thick with guilt, slow moving and stuck on one question, she struggles through eating the sandwich he packed. 

What has she done to deserve this? The question comes in stereo, her voice and the ghost of two others. Her lip quivers and the question throbs like a headache, pounding, the early onset dehydration. What has she done to deserve this? Food sticks in her throat and she forces herself not to cry with little success. What has she done to deserve this, exactly? 

Sobbing into hands that’ve killed what he is, one of the easiest things she’s done, admittedly; no mess like a deer, no wasted arrow, no missed shot. poof, done. for her, that’s the current sum of her motherhood.

hands that have given over death to his mother, hands that promised her that she’d protect him. hands that have notched an arrow at his father, hands that have warmed a ring for him. Hands that rejected Adrien at birth and for the burgeoning years after. Hands that only regretted that too late. 

The way people mark heights and ages on thresholds, there used to be a jamb with this history in the house but it was sanded down after Emilie died. There is nothing she can do to lessen what she’s done, not now. She feels every mistake as viscerally as the scars on her body. Maybe those have kept the score. 

How many years wasted? Observing him, loving him and never doing enough, never doing the right thing, you’re a series of choices and you’ll always pick the wrong one. What’s that choice now, Nathalie—loving him as your own or telling him the truth of who you are? 

A dog that keeps dropping rabbits at your door. Presents, people coo, it means like love you—but it always makes your gut twist a little at the morbidity. You can either punish it for trying or accept fragile things. 

She breathes out, solemnly and steadily trying to catch her breath. Bring them forward, he’d said, and the fresh memory tugs on her heart like pushing on a bruise. 

Well, they’re forward now. They’re different hands now. No, they’re the same, but what’s the difference, the similarity?

Wiping her hands on her dress pants she resolves: they’re forward now. that’s all she can do.

[magic-shop-stories]

Hiii! I have this scenario stuck in my head and I just know you’re the only one who can bring it to life the way it truly deserves. So—OT7 with twins! One of them is more sensitive and ‘high maintenance’ in the eyes of the parents, which unintentionally causes the other—who’s more outgoing and easygoing—to feel a bit overlooked and neglected. I’d love to see how you’d explore the dynamic between them!

💌 Reply:

hiii, sweetie🌸 first of all THANK YOU for trusting me with this precious idea! it hit me right in the heart (and as a fellow overthinker, I get the twin dynamics struggle 😭)... I hope these headcanons did your vision justice! 💜 (also, soooo sorry for the lack of pics this time... the wifi on german trains is fighting me, and the person next to me kept side-eyeing my screen like i was plotting world domination- I wish people could just mind their own buisness... ugh If you’d like, I’d love to expand this into a full imagine someday... let me know! (I'll do it as soon as I have time, but the current amount of request and my full schedule are killing me atm) – c - 🧸

that night, he stares at Minji’s latest painting

(a storm cloud labeled “Appa’s Voice”)

then at Jisung’s half-built Lego rocket

journal entry reads:

“Am I failing him? Love shouldn’t be a zero-sum equation, but why does it feel like Minji’s needs eclipse his?”

Partner Conversation

2 a.m.

hair wild

clutching a parenting book titled “The Invisible Child.” 

“What if Jisung thinks I don’t see him? What if… he becomes a metaphor?”

“Metaphors are safer.”

APPROACHING THE KIDS

Jisung

Namjoon takes him to the forest

a “scientific expedition” 

Jisung chatters about cicadas until Namjoon stops mid-hike

Jisung kicks a pinecone

“But Minji’s poems are better.”

Namjoon’s heart cracks

he pulls out Jisung’s rock collection

“Cooler than Minji’s butterfly drawings?”

“Give me my wife back Matthias” what are you going to do if she doesn’t sir 🤭 I am OBSESSED with Xaden and Rhiannon bickering over Violet. All of 2nd squad continue to whack Xaden and I’m so here for it. Can’t wait till Mira and Bodhi join in because nobody can roast you like family can.

I actually just got done rereading the whole fic and I feel like Xaden started to fall in love with Violet during their midnight breakfast sandwich conversation / morning after Brennan reveal and didn’t realize the full scope of his feelings until after she was stabbed. What surprised me was how jealous he was from the start 😭 after she showed up to a meeting with a bruised face and started talking with Liam, he got so jealous he used the mental bond for the first time. Like?? How unhinged is he (I love it).

Violet has feelings too but she’s so aware of his goals she doesn’t feel safe enough to express them 🥺

The venin reveal is going to hurt so bad, I can feel it. Violet will see the logic of using her for her signet and keeping things from her, but what are Xaden and co’s plans now? They haven’t changed their initial plan from “let’s use her lightning to kill all the venin and defend Aretia” despite knowing, trusting and caring for Violet now. She’s going to see everything they did as them honing her into the weapon they need and it’ll be tough to convince her otherwise.

If I were Aretia, I would be leaving pieces of information for Violet to discover and figure it out for herself. The agreement said they couldn’t explicitly tell her not that she couldn’t figure it out on her own and she’s so smart no one would question how she did. It doesn’t do them any favours to keep it from her. I’m ready for the angst though 😭😭

As you can see, I spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about this fic. You could publish your grocery list, and I’d read it💕

The squad is really going “dude that’s MY emotional support lightning wielder, back off”

No comment on most of these thoughts because ✨spoilers✨ but let me just say for the millionth time thank you guys for reading and for all your thoughts and everything you have to say, I am constantly overwhelmed by the support and interest and how much you all love this fic 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[gojoidyll]

Wahh, I ran over as soon as I got the notification of your reply. I've started playing zenless and I think I've been spoiled by hsr cuz I feel like there's not even polychromes 😭😭. I want Astra Yao but I'm tryna save my money for mydei. Broke life

I've been thinking more about how y/n and fei fei could meet. Maybe she's out picnicking. Randomly, she sees one of yuanie's cat pets stuck on a tree. Climbs to save like the cute princess she is and falls in the process while fei fei whips up a window and literally princess carries her. (Pun intended).

___

To me, if jing yuan is the lion(secretly a cat), the fei fei is the cute albino wolf. I think y/n would be a hamster. Yk, cute and a little skittish but smart at the same time with good instincts.

Au! Jing yuan's world if there were all animals : by mei!

Fei fei : white wolf, protective and loyal. She's also part borison so yeh!

Yuanie : lion, territorial and the thick manes. Maybe cat, too? 24/7 eepy. For a specific cat, it would have to be Persian cat. Cuz oh that floof is strong with this one.

Mozzarella : my not so favorite spy because fack u for causing y/n to die in her first life. He would be a bat...maybe a beaver? Bat because they're nocturnal and blend in the darkness

Uncle Jiaoqiu : Foxy little fox who's also a master chef.

Geppie : Since both his siblings are named after cat breeds, including him. He shall be a gepard cat. Ik, so creative.

Punch bag Yanqing: corgi, need I say less?

Bladie: would be the black cat trope. That's a lot of cats, yes. And fack you too bcz of his ass acting y/n got caught. He automatically fails her acting course.

And fack dhil bcuz i was this close 🤏🤏to getting hit by truck kun, isekai as y/n and strangle the shit out of him.

___

Ughh. I miss jing Yuan. I hope they make a luofu part 3. Even though I have him, I still want more lore of him. I have him at e2 only T-T.

---

I have a few more head canons for our dear emperor and his vassal(fei fei)

1. Yuanie love love love^10000000 cuddles. This lion man would be the best pillow. Imagine using his arm like a pillow while spooning.

2. Fei fei blushes and purrs(?) When y/n touches her ears/ tails. I think this is super cute, and I know wolves don't purr, but I hope you add a scene like this. Pretty plsss 🥺🥺🙏🙏 with a cherry on top and a cat on your lap along with body pillow jing yuan?

3. Yuanie let's y/n bury her face in his floofy hair. I literally wish I was sparrow whenever I see his idle. Like THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!!!!

4. Fei fei also starts wearing compression shirts after seeing y/n loves it so much when yuanie wears one. I would be salivating. 🫢🫢🫢

5. Jing yuan's favorite smexy time position is ...folding you in half. 😳😳😳. Cuz...yk breeding kink

6. Fei fei's favorite has to be anything where she can kiss you.

7. If this was yandere, jing yuan would be the aware one

8. And fei fei would be the delusional one. Idk why but it kinda just works for me.

---

Imagine being sandwiched by two generals ahhhhhhh. 🛐🛐🛐. I'm so down bad for both of them. Sounds like a dream honestly

---

Is chicken wing boy gonna be part of y/n's harem? Or is she satisfied with fei fei and yuan? Oop--.

---

Why do I have a feeling that chicken wing boy wants to use y/n to free himself, since I assume he's been reduced to a spirit/soul so he can't roam around to free himself to go round 2 with jing yuan (don't take this out of context pls).

---

Personally, I am questioning sundae man's choices bcz literally blade and not boothil????? There must be a reason, yea? But I'm wondering what it could be.

Istg, boothill has better acting. And he's a sexy Texas criminal cowboy. Take my money.

---

Bladie better redeem himself big time! And jing yuan too. If I was y/n I'd be throwing hands with every single maid In the palace.

---

Here are a couple lore and world building questions!!!:

1. Does jy have lightning lord?

2. If jy has lightning lord does fei fei also have her wolf?

3. Are they long life species like the Canon?

4. There must be a limit to sunday man's power because if there wasn't, he could just rewind time till jing yuan was never born. Therefore, no one would be there to kill him and he has better chances if winning against jy in the rematch 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

5. If the concept of aeons exist since sunday himself was close to or became an aeon, do pathstriders exist? If yes. What type of role do you think they specialize in gameplay? Like hunt single target and erudition aoe

6. Does sanctus medics exist and will they be handed to the story?

7. Will we ever get to see yanqing? I imagine him being very very good friend with y/n and he would treat her like guardian figure

---

That's the end of my long winded interview. I hope you don't mind the simp and blade slander. We can always simp together. As always, don't push yourself and stay hydrated!!! Good night, good morning, and good evening. It's nearly 12 am for me right now. So good night <3333

I get what you mean XD feels like we have to work a bit harder for pulls in zzz then hsr. (Though, for me I'd say genshin is far worse for me lol) but anyway, I hope you'll be able to get astra yao!!!!

Lol, when y/n finally does meet feixiao I bet it'll be quite the spectacle!!!

-

XD cats, cats everywhere! Y/n will definitely never catch a break with all of them around especially as a hamster

-

I miss jing yuan too 🥹 hopefully when they expand the Xianzhou alliance, they won't forget about the luofu...

As of right now i have jing yuan at e6 and his lightcone 😎 he's been my main even before he got that major buff from sunday

-

1. Definitely. Cuddles 100%

2. I can see her doing that 👀 I hear wolves grumble/growl when they're affectionate with someone

3. Y/n will definitely try this at some point in time 🤭

4. She definitely would do that just to get y/n's attention

5. 😳🫣 fr, he can fold me in half any day- i mean, who said???

6. Ofc 😳

7. & 8. I can see them fighting it out for you. Neither of them would want to share at all lol

-

Sign me up for that sandwich XD

-

He may be a part of the harem, just depends if he's a bad guy or not 👀

-

Oh, he definitely wants a second chance 💯

-

To sunday, he thinks blade will be more reliable than boothill ;>

-

Redemption arcs incoming lmao 🤣

-

1. he does

2. She does too

3. Yep!

4. There is definitely a limit to what sunday can control (and who)

5. I feel like even though aeons exists along with paths, they aren't tied down to game mechanics, so Feixiao and other characters who are single target can attack all they want and aren't limited to single attacks (kind of like how they are portrayed in their character animation trailers on the hsr channel)

6. They will be mentioned/make an appearance

7. Yanqing will show up soon, he's just busy in the au storyline right now ^-^

-

I feel bad for blade, but hopefully he can make a comeback soon XD and same to you!!!

[shaampoo]

If school isn't cancelled tomorrow I'm gonna get violent and feed turtles plastic straws,

My windows were fucking vibrating from the sounds of lightning, anyways, some of you guys-

Oh my god the rain is getting weaker, istg, hhrgrgrgrh well there's still ighting so that's hope

Anyways, some of you guys Amy remember my post about eating a lot of chocolate and feeling sick, well funny story, earlier this week-

THE RAIN FUCKING STOPPED

anyways earlier this week I ate one (1) chocolate sandwich and it had the same effects so I don't think eating too many sweets was the problem-

THE IS GETTING WEAKER LIGHTNING TOO?!?! HHRGGRHR DANG IT, NOW I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL,

nvm the thunder sounds like a drum that reverberates my soun, still weak tho 😭,

😔 guess I have to LEARN USEFUL INFORMATION I NIGHT NEED IN THE FUTURE

[mywritingonlyfans]

To add to the scared of storms post, imagine being scared of thunderstorms yourself so damiano is in bed too less holding you to his chest to try and calm you down doing everything that he’s learned over the years with you to help you and then that scene happens? Bam his two favourite people all in the same room cuddled up close to him your face in his next and tracing his tattoos and listening to his heartbeat & breathing to calm down because that’s some of the things that he taught you to do but they’re both afraid of thunderstorms and so he comforts you both and gets the other to sleep first and then you and he’s just there happy to make you both feel happy and protected and safe in the moment

I CANNOT

-💫⭐️🌟✨⚡️anon (was the lightning bolt there before? i can’t remember)

that's so fucking adorable help 😭

have your head in his neck as he's hugging you tight to his chest just sharing breath until you study the door opening and get to see your babygirl's face at the door holding a teddy bear and saying that they were both scared she had dilfano calling and snuggling her between you and him then he would kiss her head let her snuggle in his arms as you both sandwich her between you and him kissing her head and the her doing the same same until you smile with that because she would know that it scared you too and wants to make you feel better and yeah you would stay the night very close to each other...

- i can't really tell, but i remember you so it's great ☺️
