ೃ if you want to be a part of my taglist, answer this form! ♡
ZHONGLI:
– Zhongli would be a very chill study partner. He will always keep his cool and focus, never letting his attention stray away from less trivial things. If he can focus, he’ll focus. There’s always this sense of comfort surrounding him that brightens up your mood and productivity. The both of you are sat in this long table, papers, books, and cute matching pencils are sprawled about. You lean your head on his shoulder, as he serenades you with his deep and butter voice, explaining all the formulas to you. Being able to study in peace and quiet with him is always a blissful experience. He never fails to brew you green tea (as it helps the brain function) even if that meant going down to the kitchen at 2 in the morning. He always brings a small humidifier and some essential oils with him that can help brighten up the study mood and that emits a wafting vanilla pinecone scent to keep you happy. (He’s just fancy like that.) When he doesn’t understand the concepts right away, he’d turn to you, his sharp amber eyes gazing at yours with nothing but innocent and love, and asks: “(Y/N)... what reference is this supposed to be? pepe the frog? kermit the frog? here come dat boi? aren’t they all just amphibians? what are the differences between them? I am very intrigued.”
CHILDE:
– Childe loves a challenge. An academic challenge. He loves the thrill of finishing school works the night before the deadline, he loves studying for a pop quiz twenty minutes before the bell rings, and most importantly, he loves to pretend he doesn’t know how to solve point a to point b if that means getting to spend time with you as you tutor him on how to do so. He’s at the top of the class, He’s popular and friendly, He’s the captain of the Archery Team, and one of the vice council members of the Fatui Club. But, no other title will ever come close to being your study buddy. You and Childe always chill on the bed whenever you study. Especially when the both of you have the sudden urge to just laze around. Well, it is the wee hours of the night, so just lounging around and trying to resist the urge of sleep is pretty understandable. Sometimes, the two of you would take power naps in between study sessions. This meant cuddle times! Childe will always cuddle with you, (he’s the big spoon and you are the smol spoon) and often times you would be immersed into your textbook while he’s scrolling through his phone and looking for some of the current and popular memes. He’d poke you on the cheek and show you what he’s found. It was quite annoying sometimes and you would reprimand him for it, but it never fails to make you laugh. You jokingly suggested one time that the two of you sneak in the library after closing hours, and your chaotic boyfriend turns to you with the biggest smirk plastered on his face. “Let’s do it baby. I know the law.”
DILUC:
–You and Diluc are the cutest pair of night owls. So, studying late at night is never a problem with him because with the help of each other, the both of you are unstoppable. An actual power couple. Batman and his love interest who? I only know (Y/N) and Diluc. Mondstadt University should be giving you the title of #NoSleepGang for the “Campus Cuties” awards because the two of you are able to ace every test still despite lack of sleep. You and Diluc are very very organized. The both of you own matching couple planners (that the both of you had gifted to each for Christmas) and have your entire study schedule planned out already. Since the two of you prefer to study at night, your dates are usually done during the day. Which meant never having to worry about the upcoming finals whilst you’re at a cute little café with him. The both of you have respective desks whenever you study together, but you never fail to gaze at your crimson-haired boyfriend with the cutest pout and biggest puppy eyes. He always gives in and next thing you know, your swivel chairs are practically glued next to each other and the both of you are cuddling in your seats. One thing that Diluc never fails to do is pamper you with comfort food or little gifts that you love after a long and tiring week of hell (aka exams) It’s such a sweet gesture and the blissful relationship that you have can’t get any better than this.
“I got you some boba and that necklace from Pandora that you’ve always wanted. I-I’m so proud of you (Y/N). You did great, my love.”
KAEYA:
- You are the Lawful Good to Kaeya’s Chaotic Evil. Kaeya is always tempted to ask for answers from your professors. He’s quite the teacher’s pet, but with good intentions. That’s just how he rolls. Every time he jokes about going to the faculty to help out and the answer sheets are just out in the open, waiting to be snatched, you always glare at at him and punch him softly on the arm, every time he tries to bring up the idea. To which he would always reply with, “I’m kidding. Just kidding my love.” You and Kaeya have amazing study hacks. He is always able to find a movie that is somewhat related to the topics that the both of you are currently studying about. For example, when the topic was an introduction to different branches of science, Kaeya chose Big Hero 6 as the “Educational Movie Of the Day.” He is always able to find something fun and informative for the both of you to watch. Well, Kaeya does find fun and interest in everything. Another effective strategy that both of you do is every time you or him get an answer right, you reward each other with either a kiss on the cheek or a bear hug. Both of these affectionate gestures give you butterflies in your stomach anyway, so it doesn’t matter which is which. With the ideas that Kaeya constantly makes up every single day of your study sessions, there’s a high chance that you’ll never fluke a test ever again.
“Oh. That’s pretty cool of you (Y/N). You got 30 correct answers! If we count everything, so I basically gave you 15 forehead kisses and 15 bear hugs. Congrats! I know we’re going to ace our finals!”
XIAO:
– Xiao is extremely intelligent and talented in a myriad of things. However, he lacks self-confidence. You’ve sworn to your boyfriend that you’d help him gain confidence in his academic abilities. Which is why you became study buddies in the first place. It served as dates with him too! Although he stubbornly refused at first, his reasons being that he can do things by himself and he doesn’t need any help. You continued to encourage him that this was going to help the both of you and it was a way for the two of you to bond, and Xiao hesistantly agreed right after. As the captain of the soccer team, “The Liyue Adepti”, The only free time that Xiao has was during the evening which is the reason for your scheduled late night studies with him. This brought so much more intimate and sweet moments with him though! It meant sleepovers with him, midnight snack runs, and casual early morning strolls in the park. It became sort of a routine. Your hand interlaced with his, the crisp morning air, the little chirpings birds, and the tranquil swaying of the trees brought so much comfort to the both of you. Xiao would be the type of student to not speak up unless he’s called. Even if he knows the answer. The both of you sit on some floor pillows whenever you would study. So, whilst you read aloud, Xiao always hugs you from behind, resting his head on your shoulder.
“I don’t deserve the patience and love you give me, (Y/N). I am eternally grateful for everything you’ve done for me. I hope you know, that I’ll always be here for you.”
ALBEDO:
- Being the university’s library assistant has it’s perks. Access to infinite knowledge, quiet solitude within the library walls, and being able to hang out with your boyfriend. It was truly a perfect deal. After classes, Albedo would be heading straight over to the library to do his work. You’d meet him there and wait until he gets his work done, and then the two of you head home together or have dinner. Albedo likes to plan things in advance. He’s quite busy, being a part of university’s alchemist group and as a library assistant, but, he will always study with you. He even brings Klee with him at times too! She’s always an energetic and cute addition, + she tattles on and on about how in love Albedo is with you and how he would never shut up about you at home. Albedo puts a lot of effort into creating review materials for the both of you. He makes very intricate drawings of modules, dioramas of certain science models, and has all the formulas memorized for him to list down. He’s a genius after all, and although you’ve constantly told him time and time again that he doesn’t have to make a review paper specifically catered to you, he still insists. He always gifts you one whenever it’s exam week (he adds extra detail to them during your finals) The cutest thing about these papers are scribbled about in all of the pages. The cutest doodles of the two of you with hearts and flowers drawn all over. Albedo + (Y/N) is even written in the last page, along with a heartfelt message:
“I put all my faith and belief in you, (Y/N). I know you can do this. I’m proud of everything you’ve reached so far, my beloved. and I know you’ll reach greater heights. Let’s continue to excel and thrive together. I can’t wait to spend the rest of this journey with you.”

The HS/College Rent AU I Came Up With While Writing the Last Post
We’re just gonna refer to it as ‘the school’ b/c I can’t see a hs actually doing rent????? at least not in my old school district. This definitely didn’t come about because I’m wearing out my musical playlist on Spotify again what do you meannnnnnn anyone into the headcannon that is already becoming a fic that I’m definitely starting.....
NOTE : I just wanted to say first off I know that Tom Collins is typically played by an African American, and Angel by a Latino. However I’ve seen productions without these specifications, but this hc/fic is by no means meant to erase any character’s ethnicity, it’s just for the sanders sides hc/fic.
Roman
freshman,
red hair dye. kinda like jacksepticeye’s old haircut but red
soooo pissed he didn’t get Roger or Mark
in fact Mark is being played by a female??????
schools never has enough males for the parts they need
the only other option would’ve been giving Angel to a female, and the director did not want to send that message
which Roman kinda gets
And as Lo explained his father (the director) didn't give leads to freshmen
so he could consider himself lucky he even got Collins
*smart logan voice* who is only in 3 or 4 less songs than Mark or Roger, because Roger has one more song than Mark,
roman’s face definitely doesn’t do the little ‘aw’ (like seeing virge in his xmas sweater) when he realizes his best friend like counted them out to know that
(b.c even tho logan wouldn’t tell him he totally thinks romans deserved roger or mark too)
he and logan go way back, like middle school. roman’s always at the sanders house like every other day because his parents just yell at him for every little thing even if his brother started it
Collins couldn’t be too bad, he could finally play in a gay relationship on stage,
and he’d be able to show off his lower voice range bc most of his other parts were leads and most male leads are tenors
so offended princey aside, Roman Prince is so ready to knock this role out of the park
and he walks in first rehearsal and the Angel they cast causes his little gay heart to almost combust on sight
Patton
freshman as well, new to school with his little brother
“pat, you’re ten minutes older than me”
“still older, virge” (frustrated virgil noises)
doesn’t really like acting, he gets kinda emotional when things are sad but then sometimes forgets to not smile in the middle of a fighting scene, patton
this boy can SING tho
like his tenor is good and all
but THIS MAN’S FALSETTO
soooo of course Thom-er Mr. Sanders cast him as Angel
he’s just so delightful!
he comes into first rehearsal in this cute blue dress and totally doesn’t notice Virgil watching from the last row,
but he can’t focus on that because LOOK AT THAT CUTE GUY SITTING ALL BY HIMSELF
makes a lot of ‘friends’ with everybody but when nobody jumps at the idea of a groupchat or to hang out this weekend he’s totally not sad what do you mean virgil!
and they’re both ready to wait outside for their parents who are super supportive and give them lots of free reign because they’re kinda never there but that’s ok!
but then the cute guy that patton sat like two feet from the entire rehearsal bc he looked lonely comes over and is like ‘I'm not cool or anything but we’re gonna be in a lot of scenes together so if you wanted to, i’d love to hang’
and patton’s heart does the EHEHEH thing, and virgil has to do the *shoulder push* to get patton to give him his number
Virgil
needs to protect his big brother
bc this is a new school and who knows what bullies will be lurking to try and try to ruin his brother’s big heart
didn’t want to take a music class bc he likes to listening to music but he’d rather just listen or draw
then mr sanders, head of the arts dept. catches him watching the first rehearsal
mr. sanders says he has to do something to satisfy the music credit and oh hey my musical is looking for a piano player
fine, virgil spits out, but lowkey glad bc he likes piano he just doesn’t like somebody telling him how to do it and ruining it
but as he’s given the sheet music he just goes ballistic, the fast tempos are oddly relaxing, and the rock feeling just soothes him
so he thinks ah this won’t be too bad
and he walks in to the second rehearsal, and he’s watching his brother kinda twirl on the stage just a few minutes before it’s supposed to start
and he notices that other freshman, Roderick? Ramen? Roman? come in and standing next to him is the hottest nerd he’s ever seen
and that nerd plops down next to mr sanders whose just getting there and mumbles a ‘hey dad’ but virgil catches it
and oh god he’s fucked, he thinks to himself as he stares at the keys for the rest of the rehearsal
Deceit
is stage manager
just wants to go home
and is a sophomore but hangs out with freshman, just not in the arts dept.
but he watches this horrifically adorable freshman in a dress try to talk to a junior and he thinks, oh god these kids are gonna get eaten alive
sassy af
no i have not seen your prop that is definitely not on the table you just walked by three times without checking Jessica
is always hanging upside down?
.like you’re just like ‘Deceit where are you there’s a prop malfunction?’
‘oh yay’ and then he’s doing a backflip off the railing of the pulley system
comforting when needs to be bc some actors need love while others need a stick up their as-
DECIET LANGUAGE! yeah like that one. that one needs love.
“i fucked up my line, deceit!” “no one probably even noticed!”
“my hair is a mess” “no it’s not its fine”
makes his assit. stage manag. do dumb tasks like polish the piano keys bc “i can handle it myself”
he can’t
gets stressed but ‘i’m fine, where’s our mimi, light my candle is starting’
Logan
son of the director, Thomas Sanders
went to audition for the musical to support roman but he heard one comment about getting in bc of his dad and he dipped
told his dad he just wasn’t one for that stuff and was only doing it for roman
tried to ignore the disappointed look in his dad’s eyes even when Thomas was smiling
asked him to be dramaturg instead
mildly happy Thomas and Logan shared smile
sits by his dad first rehearsal,
watches roman,
hides his smile at roman’s first read through already being in character
groans as he listens to roman talk about the cute boy’s number he got
comes into rehearsal the next time and stops bc THE PIANO GUY
*windows error noise*
slaps roman’s arm a bunch of times
roman asks him what, and logan can just kinda point in virgil’s direction
and while logan goes home that night and compiles a very detailed powerpoint as to why his dad should let him be assistant stage manager
conveniently leaving out how the assistant works with the pit
roman goes home and compiles everything he could ever possibly find on virgil foster
and omg he’s patton’s brother what?
how could anyone tell under all that purple hair dye???
and he definitely doesn’t send mr sanders a texts
YOUR SON’S GOT A CRUSH MAKE HIM AS.ST.MAN.AHHH
roman is practically logan’s brother so Thomas is just like ok son
but Thomas makes logan give his case first
and then says ‘fine but you gotta do what deceit says’
and logan’s like well shit if imma die might as well do it looking at the cutest punk ever
next rehearsal he’s just like hello i am new assistant stage manager
and virgil looks him up and down and just goes ‘cute’
and virgil is dying on the inside but logan doesn’t know that
all he sees is that sauve boy making him windows error noise
Thomas
just wants his son happy
just wants his son’s friends and crush happy
just wants his musical to go well

Warning, prepare for a long rambly post 😬
So I’m a dynamite era army and Taehyung caught my eye first. I remember I text my little sister at almost 3 am (I have the screenshots to prove it 😂) and asked about the guy in the green suit and the one at the beginning drinking the milk honestly more bc I didn’t wanna seem shallow and Jungkook’s vocals stand out/he’s given a lot of lines as the lead vocalist. So for a bit there I was like oh I like them both but then she told me I had to pick one as a bias (just learned the term so I was like okay sure). I think it was like 2 weeks later I came back to her and was like yup V is it for me, that’s my boy. By that point I got to see some of their interviews and like compilation vids of Run/Bon Voyage and so I did know their personalities more. Since then I’ve really deep dived into their content...a product of being home and sort of stagnated because of the pandemic and just the sheer amount of content. Like I have 7 years to catch up on...It’s A LOT. But yeah my bias never really changed since then. In fact I joked/ still joke that Tae is both my bias and bias wrecker. That being said, as I continued to watch their stuff Yoongi did start standing out to me more and more. This was pretty early on, like within the first month or so and then more recently it’s Jin.
I guess i didn’t realize it was common to have like a trio??? But glad I’m not alone bc mine is definitely Tae, Jin and Yoongi. I really do love all the boys tho, I think they’re all super talented but more importantly I think theyre all spectacular human beings (honestly we should all take notes) but my heart just goes out to Yoongi and Jin a teeny tiny bit more (Tae is just the loml honestly it’s a problem). For Yoongi I think I’m just really attracted to how comfortable he seems with himself. Like he’s so open and honest about his struggles with mental health and as someone who also struggles with that (honestly who doesn’t at some point in their life) I just really admire that and it’s nice to see that it’s possible to accept that those emotions and feelings might never go away but at the same time they don’t have to have to power to immobilize you. So I’d say Yoongi is sort of more like who I’d want to be like? At the same time tho, specifically with his interactions with Tae, I also see part of myself in him already. Like how he makes a big show of being like ew gross at how affectionate Tae is but he lowkey LOVES it. I also just appreciate how he’s a cat in a humans body 😂 and how he gets these random bouts of being super energetic and outgoing. I also feel like besides Jin he is like the caretaker of the group? Like him and Jin (shoutout to Hobi too tho) are always the ones who cook and organize things for the rest of the boys. That’s definitely more me too, I’m 1000% a caretaker. My friends call me nana bc I’m like a grandma lol
Now with Jin I just really want to tell him how wonderful and talented and just how enough he is bc like he deserves to hear it 🥺. Unlike Yoongi I feel like Jin is less comfortable with himself, like he’s not shy about expressing his insecurities in his music so I’d say it’s safe to say his motto as far as confidence goes is “fake it til you make it” (and honestly he does a great job). His solo songs are probably some of my faves. Epiphany is obviously a classic but awake and abyss in particular get me. I think both of those songs speak volumes. I also just get the vibe that he’s one of those people who takes care of everyone else but struggles to take care of himself to the same extent. Something that really made me think recently is a Twitter thread about Jin that called him “the bravest introvert” and I think that’s so true. He has on multiple occasions said how much he hates being the center of attention and you know his ears go red when people stare at him and yet almost without fail he will draw attention to himself if it means making the rest of the members or others around him more comfortable. I think that kind of selflessness is admirable but at the same time I just can’t help but hope he has someone in his life that would do the same for him you know? Honestly I feel/get similar vibes about Hobi but this post is already wayyyyy too long ☠️
Okay lastly it feels so weird talking in depth about the members personality’s when like...I don’t even know them irl. But like I said in my first Tedtalk 😂🤦🏽♀️, I wouldn’t be shocked if about 90% of what you see is what you get with them.
Okay I’m done now for real. Thanks for reading my essay (if you get this far)
-Anon who really really needs to start sleeping more and rambling on tumblr late at night less 🐝🖤
This whole analysis was 👌🏼👌🏼
Beautiful. It’s so interesting to think about! Also, I love all of the dynamite era armies. They’re so sweet and excited and ready to rollll 😎
Ugh, you’re rundown on the boys is perfect. So true for all of them. They all tug on my heartstrings a bit.
Thank you for the Tedtalk, 10/10 enjoyed it. Beautiful! 🤩
