lowkey got inspired by ur post about floating and maybe half in half with barbie fairytopia (iykyk)
reader with wings/flies/floats and stumbles across foul legacy injured one night. reader taking care of him, slowly becoming friends with fl until he is strong enough to fly again.
fl and reader flying/floating/dancing mid air and playing tag and generally having fun
one day reader's wings being clipped and no longer being airborne so now fls turn to help them out and care for them. they go on a journey to maybe uncurse the reader/get her wings back/look for a healer
*muttering* tengu reader... tengu reader... TENGU READER...
you know as much as anyone how dangerous Inazuma can be- you've lived a few hundred years, watching mortals and gods grow and develop side by side. you're a bit strange for your species, choosing willingly to live amongst humans rather than in the mountains; although your home is still a fair distance from the city, on the edge of Chinju Forest so you don't have to deal with constant stares at your crow-like wings, and it's here in the woods that you come across something- or someone- unlike anything you've ever seen
an injured Abyssal beast
the feathers on your wings flare as you stop in your tracks, immediately reaching for the blade you keep on hand at all times until you spot the splashes of dark, starry blood already seeping from multiple gashes and punctures, and the monster cranes its head to look up at you, letting out a heartbreakingly pained whimper
slowly, you lower your weapon, and the creature visibly slumps in relief
his name is Foul Legacy, you learn, and you're fairly convinced that he's the singular sweetest monster in the Abyss, if not the entirety of Teyvat. even when he's injured and can barely walk he insists on trying to follow you around the house, chirping curiously and poking at what you're doing or watching intently as you treat his injuries- soon the mortals who see you start spreading rumors of how you're accompanied by an intimidating but friendly beast, although he allows no one but you to touch him. Foul Legacy is particularly entranced by your wings, gently nudging them and fluttering his own with happy chirps. you're faster than he is, as tengu are known for their speed, but nighttime flights become a favorite pass time for you and him, especially when you can look up and see all the stars and their stories
so when one of your wings is grievously injured during a horrible lightning storm, Legacy shakes off his fear and prepares to venture into town in search of a proper doctor, not as a repayment, but as your friend

personal and depressing thoughts about today
FUCK. I hate that today is Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day.
people keep making jokes like on this day of love remember that you are dust and you will stop existing on this mortal plane.
and I would find that funny I swear I would but I can’t.
the last time Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday were on the same day was 6 years ago.
it’s been six years since that shooting.
and usually every year on both Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day I’m depressed I’m saddened but it being the same day really fucking sucks bc it’s the same day in the most real way now
they died.
I remember as my mom drove my sister and I to our neighborhood that was blocked off by news vans I kept thinking about what they say when they deliver the ashes.
Fuck.
Valentine’s Day always sucks it always is a reminder that all of them were killed on what is supposed to be a happy day.
The Vday Ash Wednesday jokes hurt me and everyone online is making them but it’s like. They all died the last time it was a day like today.

Bad idea: Age gap discourse but in a fantasy land where there's multiple races who have vastly different lifespans and life styles.
Is it wrong for a 27 year old human to date a 140 year old stone elf, considering most stone elves don't get out of diapers till their 30s?
Is it wrong for a 80 year old dwarf to date a two year old fire wisp, when fire wisps only live up to 5 years (between the eruptions) and have memories of their past lives, so in a way they're "born" at age 400,000+? That octogenarian dwarf is way younger than the fire wisp that's only physically younger than some of the socks the dwarf has!
Is it wrong for a chronomancer who was never born to date, well, anyone? They are zero years old and infinity years old and negative one hundred and seventeen years old all at once. They look like an old human, sure, with the long white beard and the wrinkly skin, but as far as anyone can tell, they've always looked like that. We've seen the cave paintings.
Is it wrong for a 30 year old lizardman (that's old in lizardman years) to date a human who is 60 years old in biological years (because of aging spells), 26 years old in lived-experience years, but only 13 years old in calendar years? (ie, they were born 13 years ago, but spent some of that time in sideways timelines, so they've lived more years than have passed in their home timeline?)
Is it wrong for a 12,000 year old dragon date a pile of 400 kobolds when kobolds only live like 10 years on average, but reach full maturity in one year? And if you disagree, can you do anything about it? You do know what happened to the last policeman who tried to arrest a dragon, right? Their city is still smoldering, 50 years later.
Is it wrong for anyone to date the time worm? It's the same age, every year. So the age gap can only intensify. If you start dating the time worm when you're both the same age, when do you break it off because you've become too much older than them?
And most confusing of all... What about the fairies? They could be anything between a thousand and a day old, they would lie about their age either way, and they can look like whatever they want. There's fairies we know for a fact have been around since the founding of The City of Towers, who met the silent mother herself, and also look like they're at most ten years old. Is it wrong to date them, or just really uncomfortable for everyone who sees it? And on the other side there's fairies who are "born" (hatched? They come from plants, I'm not sure what the verb even would be. Seeded? Sprouted, maybe) this week who are already appearing like middle-aged men and dancing with widows in what looks like a scheme to run off with her fortune but they never take the money, because what would a fairy want with worthless metal discs? Maybe fairies have a hive mind or genetic memory or reincarnation with full memories, they'd never tell you or give you a straight (or consistent) answer anyway.
Stonefolk are really the only inter-race dating situation anyone can agree on. They're unthinking & unmoving solid rock during the day, so those hours don't count. Thus their "real age" is a nice even half of their true age. So if you meet a stonefolk who was dug out 30 years ago, watch out: that's a 15 year old, and if you're a 25 year human, that's too young for you, even though their dig-date is five years before your birth-date.
EDIT: 2024/01/12: Changed the name of the Stonefolk
