I was tagged by @bisexualbard-writes my beloved to post 5 things I like about myself!!! Thank youuuuuu ☀️🦦💖🪐🥰

I have a pretty good sense of direction, and oh my god when I was younger I did NOT appreciate this enough. I don't have the innate sense of where north is that some people do, but (particularly if I'm travelling in right angles, not in curved lines) I can usually keep track of the general direction I'm going in with a lot of accuracy, and I can read maps super easily and remember the exact routes I've taken before, provided they aren't too complicated!! It is a vvv useful skill and I LOVE it.

I am very good at picking up foreign languages! Comparatively speaking I haven't made much progress with Thai, given that I've been semi-immersed in it for close to a year and a half by now, but that's mainly because I've just been learning via osmosis rather than putting any actual effort in whatsoever. Still, I can usually understand any really simple sentences without much trouble and pick out at least a few words of the more complex ones when I'm watching something in Thai now, so that's something!! (Also, my duolingo streak is currently at 951 days!)

I am quite judicious, just as a general rule (...with the notable exception of What Time To Go To Bed). As in: I don't tend to act rashly, or speak tactlessly, but for the most part I'm also fairly good at steering clear of the level of caution that just saps joy and stirs up anxiety rather than actually being beneficial. This is not to say that I always make sensible decisions - far from it! I am always making objectively silly decisions! But since my objectively silly decisions tend to be for the purposes of indulging in the delights, as long as they fulfil that goal and don't cause any collateral damage that's too insane, I'm usually happy to consider them subjectively Correct decisions (with - and I really and truly CANNOT stress this enough - the exception of absolutely any decision related to sleeping habits 💀).

I am SO good at platonically matchmaking my friends!! I love to introduce my friends to each other, or throw them into groupchats together, or (on one memorable occasion) drag the blorbos from my tumblr dashboard AND the blorbos from my workplace to the theatre together! And then watch as they all instantly imprint on each other like lil ducklings!!! This has happened so many times and it is my favourite thing every single time! (And of course, the fact that my own taste in friends is so elite is almost certainly a contributory factor to how well they always get along. All of you are so so good and lovely! ❤️)

I am very good at directing my gaze. By which I mean several things!! First of all: I AM ALWAYS PERCEIVING. When it comes to things I care about and enjoy, I am noticing details! I am connecting dots! I am picking up on hidden meanings! I am spotting clues and interpreting them! I am reading your tags with fluency and delight even though you censored them and miscounted the asterisks! I am remembering that thing you said five months ago and bringing it up again at the funniest possible moment!!! My brain is Kim Theerapanyakul's murderboard and it is covered EXCLUSIVELY in all the things that are shiniest and most precious To Me and I am solving their mysteries!!! Secondly: when it comes to the worst parts of fandom culture, I am never perceiving. If there is a bad take, I will simply not see it. If I do see it, I will simply forget about it in 3 minutes flat. No cursed opinion has any power over me because I shall simply magnetically repel it thank you goodbye xoxo Most importantly: I am a very firm believer that life is always terrible and also that life is simultaneously always wonderful. Both are true at all times; it just depends where you're looking. And sometimes life inevitably forces your gaze towards the most terrible things the world has to offer, and there's no choice but to engage with them. But when given the choice, I like to think that I'm pretty good at directing my gaze towards the wonderful end of the scale. The everyday delights are my best friends and hopefully they always will be!

Uh, hm, my first thought is diluc/blade/kaveh/Yuya/Zarc but why make this easy? Imma go with uh, Kaeya. Or any of the above if you don't have opinions on Kaeya.

Sometimes you are evil to me.

General opinion/How much I care about them: KAE! I care about him so much actually; he's honorary blorbo tier (on the lower end but hey, still counts). The lore is interesting, the relationships more so, and the aesthetic slaps!

(You know me I'm a sucker for starry motifs.)

Sometimes I just want to pick him up, bundle him in a blanket burrito, and then send him to the Dawn Winery and make sure he knows how much his family and the people of Mond (and I) love him. He deserves to have and cherish that knowledge. I want him to smile in genuine joy and contentment more often. Kaeya my beloved lil guy.

A ship I love: Whoops, can't seem to find any.

A non-romantic relationship that I love: Look, all of Mond is family to me, but the specific quartet of Kaeya, Diluc, Albedo and Klee are the siblings of all time. Found family up to 11, immense potential for fluff and shenanigans of all sorts- oh and also this trio would end half of Teyvat if someone so much as breathes wrong in Kaeya's general direction. The reverse also applies in many cases.

The NOTP: Kaeluc. No. Absolutely not.

My biggest headcanon about them: Kaeya is very bad with sweets. Like, very very bad with sweets. One bite of a simple vanilla cake and he'd cringe worse than a child eating a whole lemon. He does his best to not bring this up in gatherings though; can't shove someone's hard work back in their face.

He would not survive a day in Sumeru.

An idea for a fanfiction I would like to write/read about them: Remember the aforemention sibling quartet? Yeah I'd love to write something fluffy with them someday. Sadly I've got nothing in the works, but the thought is there. Oh and did I mention that ragbros reconcilation is one of my favorite flavors of fanfic ever? The hurt/comfort is just immaculate.

Something/someone that makes me think of them: Aquatic flowers, peacocks, ice sculptures, and... Sora. Something something blue bois with conflicting loyalties. Something something very important relationship with a red dude.
