[Image ID: The human non conforming flag. The first image is the flag with symbol, then the flag with text meanings and no symbol, then the flag with no symbol, then just the symbol. The flag has five even stripes going light orange, light lime green, light green, bright lightish blue, and very dark grey. The symbol is a standard human symbol, the same dark grey, upside down with a square head. The flag with stripe meanings says this, from top to bottom: Humans with nonhuman elements, Nonhuman aesthetics/appearances, Alterhuman, Authenticity and expression, Disconnect from humanity. /End ID.]

Name: Human non-conforming (HNC)

Human non-conforming (HNC, similar to gender non-conforming) is an umbrella label encompassing all identities and subcultures that somehow incorporate nonhuman elements in any way. This includes (note that identities in brackets are not by default under this umbrella, and are not an exhaustive list):

- People who dress or appear in nonhuman ways (cosplayers, furries, body modders)

- People who reclaim or relate to nonhumanity (voidpunk, otherhearted, copinglink)

- People who are not human or partially not human (in any form) (alterhuman, overhuman)

- People who use certain genders or neopronouns (aliengender, xenopronouns)

- People who don't identify as any of these things but still are somehow linked to nonhumanity

This label is self identified. It should not be used on others to dehumanise them.

The symbol is meant to represent twisting and changing humanity, people who are innately not human, inner nonhuman aspects and generally all HNC people.

Zhongli x Childe - Ghost of a God

In Liyue High, there was no shortage of absurd rumours. Childe had only transfered a month ago, and he had already become privy to quite a few. By far the most ludicrous, he thought, was the one about the ghost living in the walls. But what happens when that particular rumour is proven true?

---

Childe groaned dramatically, making his roommate, Scaramouche, raise an eyebrow. "This is what happens when you procrastinate."

"Shut the fuck up." Childe practically growled. "This is your fault."

"Which mental gymnastics course did you go through to arrive at that conclusion?"

"You didn't fucking remind me that it was goddamn due!"

Scaramouche snorted. "We don't even go to the same high school. Face it, dude. This is your fault. Now stop bitching and get your shit done."

Childe grumbled out a few half-hearted complaints, but he knew that his roommate was right. The ginger had been putting off writing his paper for his History of Liyue class for almost two weeks now. The only reason he was doing it now was because Xiangling had posted in the class group-chat asking for a proof-reader.

He sighed deeply. This goddamn thing was due tomorrow and he hadn't even gotten started on it. There was no way he was getting any sleep.

"Dude, you've got to get your shit together." Childe could hear a hint of amusement in his purple-haired roommate's voice. "You're gonna get shipped back to Snezhnaya if you keep this up, and I don't want fucking Dottore as my new roommate. Have you been in his room? It always smells like fucking formaldehyde." Childe could see Scaramouche smirk out of the corner of his eye. "What would Teucer think?"

"That's low, even for you." Childe deadpanned, making Scaramouche snicker. "But seriously though, I'm trying. I usually get my stuff done, I just got really bored reading about the fucking Stove God 'Massachusets' or whatever the fuck, and I guess I just forgot about it until now."

Scaramouche cackled. "The fucking Stove God? Damn am I glad that I got Inazuma Acadamy instead." He practically wheezed. The ravenette gave Childe a reassuring pound on the back. "You got this, man. There's a coffee from the Angel's Share on the counter when, not if, you need it."

The Snezhnayan sighed again. This was going to be fucking torture.

----

Childe glanced at the clock. 2am. He had already written the intro and half of the body, and despite the coffee he had had an hour ago, he felt like death incarnate. Surely a quick nap wouldn't hurt.. He set an alarm for 3am.

An hour's rest would leave him feeling invigorated and he would get his entire paper done and even get started on his algebra homework.. Yeah, he had this in the bag.

-----

When Scaramouche shook him awake at 7am, however, he realized he most definitely did not have this in the bag.

"You fell asleep?!" The ravenette shouted, looking very pissed off.

"Shut the fuck up - I - I set a fuckin' alarm -" Childe groaned rubbing his eyes. He shook Scaramouche's death-grip off his shoulders, pulling out his phone. There was an alarm set for 3pm.

"If you get kicked out of the Harbinger program I'm going to fucking fly to Snezhnaya and beat your goddamn ass."

Childe's eyebrows furrowed. "The History teacher likes me, she'll maybe-probably give me an extension." Even he could tell that he was spewing bullshit. Ms Ningguang most definitely did not like him, and there was no way in fuck she was giving him an extension for a paper that the class was given two weeks to work on.

"Whatever you say, dude." Scaramouche grimaced. "Good luck, I've got a bus to catch."

Childe heard the door slam. His roommate was definitely pissed off. He would be too, if being forced to share a room with Dottore was a very real possibility.

With a sigh, the ginger grabbed his schoolbag, shoving his laptop into it. He would just have to ask for some extra-credit work.

---

The minute Childe stepped off the bus he was greeted by a very kind greeting of 'you look like shit' from his lockermate, Chongyun.

"Gee, thanks." The ginger replied dryly. "The fuck were you waiting for me?"

"Well, I need to interview some seniors for my project and I thought, who better than the Snezhnayan exchange student, but I'm guessing that you aren't in the mood." The sophomore trailed off.

"You guessed right." Childe snapped, making the younger student flinch. "Sorry, sorry - Long night, as you pointed out earlier. You should go interview Xiangling or Hu Tao. They'd be more than happy to help out."

"Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks anyways. Hope you have a good day." The sophomore said, darting away. Childe tried to push away the pang of guilt that arose from snapping at his innocent lockermate.

He had around 10 minutes before class, so he decided to make his way to the washroom to splash some water on his face and maybe make some more progress on his paper.

"You'll be fine," He muttered into the mirror, trying to ignore the very obvious eyebags that had taken up residence on his face. "What's the worst that can happen, you get shipped back to Snezhnaya, Teucer is disappointed - And your mom too, but mostly Teucer -" He cut himself off. Maybe that wasn't the best thought to spiral into.

"Are you alright?" A baritone voice asked, making Childe jolt. He whipped around. There was a man with shoulder-length brown hair with amber tips tied up into a ponytail staring at him.

"Who the fuck are you?" Childe blurted out.

"Someone willing to listen to you." The man said patiently. "If you'd like to talk."

"Do you go to this school? I've never seen you before." Childe said warily.

The man let out a small chuckle. "Something like that. If you feel uncomfortable you are by no means forced to share with me - I merely thought I would offer."

Childe hesitated. He did have a lot on his chest - And he just shouted at a fucking sophomore trying to interview him for a school project for fuck's sake. Talking to a random bathroom stranger about his problems was a better coping mechanism than screaming at his lockermate. And besides - Said bathroom stranger was really fucking hot.

"I'm an exchange student from Snezhnaya which means I need to keep my grades above a B or I'll be removed from the Harbingers - The exchange program I'm in - And I forgot about a history assignment because I didn't want to research the fucking Stove God and I have professor Ningguang as my History teacher and she doesn't like me because I never pay attention and I always sass her and at one point I may or may not have started a sudo-protest because no-one wanted to do an assignment so if I hadn't done it someone else would've but the point is, I'm going to fail the class and be shipped back to Liyue and my 8 year old brother is going to be disappointed in me so, uh.. Yeah." Childe finished, staring at his feet. Why the fuck did he just tell all that to some random dude he met in the fucking bathroom. He glanced up at the man, expecting judgement, but he was surprised when instead he found amusement.

"That's quite a story."

"Yeah, no shit."

The man paused for a moment. "Perhaps I could be of some assistance."

Childe snorted. "Unless you have a fully written history paper about Massachusetts the Stove God, I doubt it."

The man raised an eyebrow. "I take it you don't know who I am, then."

"Did I not make that clear when I asked 'who the fuck are you' when you snuck up behind me?"

"I thought you were merely being crass."

Childe crossed his arms. "Well, I wasn't. I actually don't know who the fuck you are, believe it or not. Are you some kind of homework genie?"

The man let out a chuckle, but shook his head. "My name is Zhongli. I am a ghost that lives in the walls of Morax High."

"It's Liyue High." Childe interrupted, his brow furrowed. "And how stupid do you think I am? What, you heard about the 'ghost in the walls' rumour and decided to fuck with an innocent student?" The ginger scoffed. "There I was trying to be genuine, telling you my problems and shit, and you go and pull the 'I am a ghost' card."

The man - 'Zhongli' if that even was his name - Sighed. "Yes, I feared I would receive that reaction. Would you allow me to prove myself to you?"

"Sure, why not. Let the bathroom stranger prove that he's a ghost. This ought to be good."

Zhongli then proceeded to fucking walk through Childe.

The ginger whirled around to gape at Zhongli, who was now behind him. Because he fucking walked through him. Like a ghost. Which he was claiming to be. And - Holy fuck he wasn't lying. He's a ghost. Childe just met a ghost.

"Was that adequate?" The brunette simply stated, raising an eyebrow.

"I - Uh - Y - Yeah - You said you could help me?" Childe stammered out. Hey, if there was a bathroom ghost offering to help you not get deported back to Snezhnaya, you say yes. Especially if the ghost is handsome.

"I did. I just so happen to sit in on quite a few of Professor Ningguang's lessons, and I have completed this essay multiple times." He pulled a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to a rather dumbfounded Childe. "This has a copy of a perfectly written paper - Proofread and everything - That you may submit to your class. In return, I only ask that you return here again to speak with me. You need only say my name. As you may imagine, I do not have much to occupy my time, so please feel free to call on me any time you please as long as you are on school property."

"Why?" Childe stammered out. Zhongli raised an eyebrow. "I mean - Why me? Why do you want to talk to me? I've heard the rumours, people don't usually talk with you longer than a few moments and then they never see you again, and they certainly don't get fucking copies of papers from you, so why me? What makes me different?"

Zhongly merely shrugged. "I am not sure. I find you quite intriguing, and wish to spend more time with you. And yes, it is true, I have never done this before. You are by no means required to call upon me again. Regardless, you may keep the paper. But I would like it very much if you did."

"I - I'll keep that in mind." Childe swallowed thickly. "I've - Uh - Got to get to class. I'll 'call on you' at some point - You're really interesting, and, uh, kinda hot, too, so yeah - I've got to go now bye!" Childe hurried out, heat rushing to his cheeks. He just called the bathroom ghost hot. He needed mental help. He quickly turned in the paper that Zhongli had supplied him, not bothering to go over it to check for errors.

----

Childe zoned out during class and teetered dangerously close to falling asleep a few times. Ms Ningguang was teaching them about the 'God of War' - Morax. Hey, that was what Zhongli called the high school, wasn't it - Morax High.

"Morax often liked to wander amongst Liyue posing as a regular person. This was, in fact, how he met his demise. While in a persona that he often used he, weakened by his temporary mortal form, was ambushed by thieves and slaughtered. He often went by the name Zhongli."

Childe's brain fucking stopped. What. The fuck. He scrambled to flip to the textbook illustration of Morax. Staring back at him was a brunette man, a bit taller than Childe. His hair had amber tips, and his knowing eyes were all too familiar.

----

Zhongli was feeling rather rattled after the interesting conversation that he had with the rather peculiar Snezhnayan transfer. He wasn't sure what had brought him to offer a listening ear to the ginger, but he felt an odd attraction towards him. The ghost found him interesting, challenging, and, sure, attractive. But giving him the answers to a paper?

He paced along the roof, making sure to remain invisible as not to garner unwanted attention. Giving the boy - Childe - his name and the means to call him, as well? That wasn't something Zhongli did. Ever.

And why did he have this giddy feeling in his stomach? He didn't like it. He hadn't felt like this since he died. Since Guizhong. Since Liyue.

He was a ghost. He was dead. He knew that. Childe had no reason to ever want to speak with him. It was extremely unlikely that he would make good on his promise to call on Zhongli. But the ghost couldn't help but hope.

As the weeks went bye, however, that hope slowly began to fade. Zhongli roamed around the school as usual, keeping an eye on the ginger student that had caught his eye. But then - The letter appeared, marked by a call of Zhongli's name and left in the same bathroom where they had first met.

'Zhongli,

This is Childe. I wanted to speak with you, but at the same time I didn't because I'm really fucking awkward and I think you're really fucking cool but I found something else about you that I just want you to confirm or deny. Are you Morax, the God of War?'

Zhongli's heart dropped. How the Snezhnayan had found his identity out, he had no clue, but he knew the smart thing to do - Completely disappear off the student's radar. He definitely shouldn't write back. That would be downright irresponsible. Stupid, even. Completely idiotic.

'Childe,

Yes, I am Morax, the God of War. How you came to possess that information is beyond me, but I see no point in hiding it.

Zhongli.'

The ghost waited anxiously for the ginger student's reply. Thankfully, the gap between interactions didn't last nearly as long, and a letter appeared in the bathroom the very next day with a call of Zhongli's name.

'Zhongli,

Holy fucking shit that's insane. You're an actual God. That's terrifying but also sorta hot as well. I'm assuming you want me to keep all this stuff secret so I won't tell anyone. By the way, I called you hot when we first met and nearly fucking died of embarrassment and then wrote that you were hot here so uh yeah, I think you're hot. Just wanted to say that. Also could we maybe speak like this for a while cuz I'm better at flirting over writing because awkward. And yeah I'd like to flirt with you. If that's okay.'

Zhongli reread the letter once, then twice. Then he read it a third time. Childe, the ginger student he had been borderline obsessing with for weeks, found him attractive? This was far more than the ghost could have ever hoped for.

'Childe,

You have no reason to be terrified of me. I lost my powers when I died. And even if I did possess them, I would not use them to harm you. I also find you attractive - 'Cute', even. And I am completely alright with continuing to send letters back and forth. You are the first person to show an interest in me since the 1700s. I am willing to take this 'flirting' however slow you would like.

Yours, Zhongli.'

This pattern went on for a month. Childe would bring a letter to the bathroom in the morning, marked with a call of Zhongli's name. Zhongli would respond by lunch, during which Childe would make his way to the washroom and grab the note. Zhongli never got to see the ginger's response to his attempts at flirting, as Childe chose to read the letters at home. But Zhongli always saw the grin that spread across Childe's face when he saw the folded up piece of paper at lunch.

But then one day, when Zhongli was walking through the cafeteria at lunch, he saw Childe's arm around another man's shoulder and felt jealousy shoot through his entire being. It hurt.. So much.. More than it had any right to. They had only been together - Or obviously not together, he supposed, if Childe was doing this - For a month and a bit.. But it still felt like Zhongli had died all over again.

The next day, the ghost couldn't bring himself to read the letter. He didn't write a response, either, the thought of confronting his sudo-boyfriend more terrifying than an exorcism. He felt so stupid. So gullible.. So betrayed.

A week or so passed of this. Zhongli stopped listening in on classes and tried to avoid Childe at any costs - Not that the ginger would know that he was nearby, anyways. But every time he caught a glimpse of him, the pangs of hurt came back, and Zhongli saw his arm around the other man all over again.

After yet another week of this, Zhongli was doing his usual routine of moping on the roof feeling sorry for himself when he felt himself being pulled across the building. He was met with a puffy-eyed Snezhnayan in the men's changing room.

"Why?" The ginger said in a hollow voice. "We were getting along so well - And you're the first boyfriend I've ever had - The first person I've ever actually liked, too, so why did you just stop replying?" Ah, so he did consider then boyfriends.

"You clearly did not value our relationship as much as I did."

"What could possibly have made you think that?"

"You with your arm around that other man in the cafeteria two Mondays ago." Zhongli stated plainly.

Childe's brow furrowed. "Y - You mean Scaramouche? He's my roommate - He's my friend, and he's straight. Heterosexual. Interested in girls, and girls exclusively. I like you, not fucking Scaramouche, but if this is how you're going to treat our relationship, I don't think I want to be part of it."

Zhongli's eyes widened and he materialized his hand to grab Childe's wrist, but the ginger pulled away, glaring at the ghost furiously.

"Here I was thinking I did something wrong - Something seriously wrong - But no, you got all jealous because I put my arm around my straight friend's shoulder on open house day. This is fucking crazy. You realize that, right, Zhongli? That this is fucking crazy?"

How could Zhongli have been so stupid? This wasn't the 19th century, people could put their arms around each other's shoulders platonically. He was an idiot. He may have just ruined the only chance at a relationship he would ever have. "I'm so sorry -"

Childe scoffed and put up a hand. "Save it."

Zhongli grabbed him, his thoughts swimming, and slammed his lips against his. Childe froze, and Zhongli noticed that he didn't kiss back.

The ginger pulled away and let out a hollow laugh. "This is how you apologize? You ruin our first kiss? I'm done. I can't do this any more, Zhongli. You ruined this.." He shook his head, disappointed, then walked out of the changing room.

Zhongli felt broken. His chest hurt horribly, and he felt like a terrible person. He had just ruined everything with a man he loved.. Loved. He loved Childe. And now he would never get the chance to show him that.

Week 1 - Equipment and Techniques - Aperture Task

For our first equipment and techniques class, we had to go out of the college grounds and shoot portraits using the lowest aperture possible.

I used a 85mm lens with my 2000D so I was able to shoot at an aperture of f 1.4, with an ISO of 100. As we were shooting on AV mode, we couldn’t set the shutter speed so it was a challenge to make sure it was set above 1/125s to prevent any camera shake. The fastest shutter speed I used when shooting was 1/2000s, and the slowest was 1/250s.

Thank you to @kloeyyyhnc1​ for modelling :)
