Zero x Reader

“Especially For You”

It’s your birthday and everybody’s giving you gifts.

Then there’s your Boss, Zero minding his own business.

You are actually waiting for him but I guess he is’nt really that kind of person.

You were comforting yourself thinking that maybe he really does’nt like you at all forgetting all the moments you had together that it means nothing to him.

It gets a little warm inside your chest.

You faked a smile and thanked everybody for giving you gifts.

They now all went back to their busy worlds.

Suddenly, you felt all alone again looking at Zero.

Your beautiful eyes are filling up with tears. You said you’ll just go out of the office to inhale some fresh air but you went to the farthest bathroom and cried your heart out. It was soundproof so it’s alright.

Zero went out of his office to look for you.

He’s actually worried about you even though he may not show it.

You finally went out and came back to the office but Zero’s not around.

Where is he?

You retouched and composed yourself so you could get back to work.

It’s almost 5pm and office hours’ almost over.

Zero’s not back yet.

You were expecting to see him before the day ends patiently waiting for the door to open while you were getting your work done.

Loneliness filled your eyes again.

Office hours ended, you packed up your things so you could go home. You are about to open the door but suddenly it opened.

You and Zero are now facing each other.

It felt awkward so he shied away looking at a different direction.

“You’re going home now?”

He asked with a low tone of voice.

“Uhm. Yeah.” Looking down.

“You go first, I’ll need to finish some things.”

He was going overtime.

Maybe he was entrusted with a difficult mission that’s why..

You smiled softly and waved a goodbye.

He gave you a faint smile back.

You were still sad and disappointed the fact that he did’nt gave you anything or greeted you on your birthday when you actually gifted him an expensive game console. It’s not like you were expecting but you thought you have mutual understanding..

Finally, You arrived at your apartment safely.

throwing yourself on your bed burying your face in your pillows..few seconds later, your phone is beeping wildly.

“Oh jeez come on I just want to rest!” You muttered in annoyance.

You picked up your phone seeing a message flashing:

“Happy Birthday Y/N!

🙂🧸❤️”

Followed by a doorbell..

You rushed to open the door..

You saw a big box with chocolates and flowers on top of it with a note saying :

“Please don’t get mad at me, the preparations are’nt that easy but here it is, so smile! :)”

Your tears started flowing..you look around to see if Zero’s around but you could’nt see him. You’ll meet him at work tomorrow again so it’s okay.

You picked up the big box, flowers and chocolates and placed it on your table..

You slowly opened it and there you saw a huge brown teddy bear. (Exactly what you wanted so you could always hug it and feel him near you)

He took note of what you wanted!

You were crying your heart out of so much happiness!

Zero is’nt what other people think of him. There’s something more about his personality that he only let few special souls to behold it. Especially for “you”.

Gacha game fandoms are funny because they have the gayest and most homophobic people ever in the same space.

Updated my list of favorite game series of all time! I honestly did it just for the fun of listing cool colorful logos

Here's all the stuff i heavily vibe with. My goated faves, as the cool kids say these days

[stelladess]

My personal.... "review"? rating? for the gacha games that I have played, roughly in order but I do not remember exact order so... yeah Mostly just rambling to have my thoughts down in writing somewhere. No insult intended to any game here or the people who like them whether I like it or not. Chances are I was just not the intended demographic or that my tastes are just different.

HI3: Incredible story, some of the best characters in any media I have ever read, watched or played. However the gameplay is a very mixed bag, the gacha aspects are downright atrocious (even by gacha standards) and it has serious pacing issues. Also a lack of world building and the art direction has clearly shifted multiple times. The story has gotten me to straight up cry though and part 2 has alleviated or fixed a lot of my big issues with the game (more consistent artstyle, better pacing, far more fluid gameplay, better worldbuilding, etc), although nothing on the gacha side of things. One advantage is that it is relatively easy to ignore the gacha aspect and just play the story though since most of the time you get trial characters from the ones who are actually there doing the things in story at the time.

Genshin Impact: Beautifle world, great character designs. The character writing and world building is pretty great in this one.... but the story itself is a very mixed bag. And it has an even bigger issue then HI3 with large amounts of fairly pointless dialogue that neither progresses character or themes, this is improved in the latest regions somewhat from what I have heard but it is a constant frustration earlier. Also it is an open world game with all that entails, which is a type of game I am not particularly fond of. The combat gameplay is also not my favorite. I eventually stopped playing this, around the time of shogun banner...

Symphogear XDU: I am a huge symphogear fan, and it is great to have more stories with these characters and expanding on them in fun ways and putting them into new stories. This part of XDU is great, a lot of these stories are wonderful.... however as a game it is terrible. Also no official english version anymore so it is awkward to get running and to actually be able to read it. I stopped playing because the game side was just... bad. There are some fan translations of various events that are worth checking out if you are a symphogear fan though!

Blue Archive: Love the setting, in terms of visuals and audio it has probably one of the best presentations of any gacha game I have played. The character designs are also great, if a bit limited by the school theming.... I hate sensei so much. I think sometimes the story´s own themes are hampered by sensei being a creep. Now I am not the target demographic for Blue Archive, so me not liking or sticking with it is not a surprise. Just frustrating because of the parts I do like. But, again, just not for me. It was never intended for my tastes. Also the gameplay is basically an auto battle system with *slightly* more strategy on top of it. Which is not really my thing.

Tower of Fantasy: I played it for like a week with my friend. Like with genshin the open world nature turned me off, and the world felt like it stood out less to me, the entire art direction was to me not as strong. I did not hate it is just that I liked it less then genshin, which already could not keep me playing.

Princess Connect RE:dive: My friend recommended this and I had enjoyed the anime, so I downloaded it, the next morning crunchyroll announced they were ending the service for the global version. I took this as a sign of some kind and decided to not try and keep up with it.

Honkai Star Rail: One of my absolute favorite games! The writing is very easy to follow along but with quite a bit of extra depth to be found if you are interested, the gameplay is also simple but requires enough thought to feel like an actual game, visuals and music is some of my favorites too. The characters, story, setting and presentation is all incredible. In particular the comedic writing and the character dynamics are very fun. I play this on a daily basis.

Arknights: In terms of world building this is easily the best gacha game I have played, it also has probably my favorite art direction, with only star rail competing for that spot. The gameplay is strategic and very fun, the big downside is it needs a very big time investment to really enjoy. Lots of reading and the gameplay has a very high skill ceiling even if the skill floor is quite low. It also misses a lot of obvious QoL features that would drastically improve it (something as simple as bookmarking story nodes for one...), but despite its flaws the stories, characters and themes are great. And in particular how these are written in a way that makes it feel intrinsically tied into the world. The planet of Terra is one of the most important aspects of the game. I love that it has a very unique technology level for a fantasy setting too. Also the prose is often really really good. I play this on a daily basis.

Zenless Zone Zero: The chill slice of life vibes of this game are great. New Eridu is a really cool setting and the characters are all great. It is far less story driven but that is fine, it really gives off the vibe of being relatively normal people just living in a strange world. It does feel somewhat "incomplete" currently though, but it is still off to a strong start. Gameplay feels like a far more developed version of early HI3 gameplay, that grew in a different direction from what HI3 part 2 took it in. I lied earlier about the visual direction of star rail and arknights being uncontested, this game might even be better in this department. I play this on an almost daily basis.

me playing genshin impact since 1.2 and just now realizing that resisting getting into honkai star rail is just the first step in a long journey of resisting zenless zone zero, project mugen, tower of fantasy, wuthering waves,,

2023 in Review: Every Video Game I Completed This Year

You know those Twitter threads where people list off every video game they’ve completed throughout the year? It’s something I’ve always been a bit keen on doing, but I figured summing up each game in a single Tweet wouldn’t do them justice. So, throughout 2023, I decided to keep a record of every game I completed, composing what are essentially mini reviews to try and cover every facet I liked or…

[lawlznet]

Coming soon from Nohoya! Xevious Xone Xylophone, a wholy original release with new environments such as Notstadt, your own personal flying Starbus, where you climb a Science Tower full of evil Black Ravens called Witherings that attack with wave magic.

Pre-register *Now!*

thoughts on simulacra stories, change in mc's lore and aesperia's main story skip

im late on this one probably (and this is more of a ramble) but i created a new acc yesterday and said a lot of wtfs to the changes made in the first part of aesperia's mq (im currently otw to banges).

i mean i did like that shirli accompanied us from the start of waking up till the end of exploring the ruins cuz' 1. more shirli time helps establish a bond between her and mc, 2. zekes initial reaction to shirli disobeying fits in the scene better now

tbh i did miss the part where we fly up the sky and shoot a plane/skyship(?) down during the assault cuz i thought that was cool, and i liked it better when franz didnt straight up say zeke is connected to the heirs and he didnt almost spill what time retracement was all about- LIKE, FRANZ SHOULDVE STAYED AS A DISCRETE/SECRETIVE CHARACTER WHO KNOWS MORE THAN WHAT HE LETS ON

and i think it disrupts mc's lore a bit cuz in the old version we had gone through our first time retracement there in hykros and have realized with the second one in claire's quest that mc is currently the only one in the game who isnt affected by time retracement/remembers the past timelines, (mc's connection to time retracement is important i feel) pointing out the motifs here

i also noticed that they added more emphasis on the mystery of mc's identity with shirli continously questioning it and franz (and elric probably) having his suspicions(?) i like that they changed "mc being part of district 9" to "mc being part of an unknown district but will work with district 9 for now"

defintely making a seperate post to ramble about mc's lore more

i started spewing extra wtfs in the events afterwards, CUZ SERIOUSLY WHAT. it felt like i got hit with a pan after that dialogue with franz about uploading the memories 😭 then all of a sudden im going to vera, LIKE WHAT IN THE AIDA IS GOING ON.

i did realize eventually that the story was skipped for some reason, so i watched a vid the next day to get it cleared up. this change was terrible really 😭 maybe convinient for some older players (who like me, intended to get things done quick upon creating a new acc) but not for newcomers, cuz it ruins the flow of the story and the surprise of entering new places gradually.

its a better experience to slowly connect with characters as the journey progresses instead of suddenly meeting a bunch of em in the middle of the desert like "am i suppose to know who you are already??"

(ALSO THEY REMOVED COBALT B FROM THE START AND FRANZ GAVE US THE VEHICLE INSTEAD NOOO. this contradicts her simulacra side story, as it was emphasized there that they had met before and we meet her again in mirroria)

speaking of which, i feel that the simulacra stories shouldve been integrated into the main story instead of it being on the side for players to come back later (ig i just enjoy lining up the plot in order instead of it being out of sequence)

yes i understand that the mq would take longer if they did that BUT THE FUTURE INTERACTIONS WITH CHARACTERS WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE/FEEL NATURAL

like something twitches in my brain when i think about how much i love the reunion of shirli and zeke but realize its a side story LIKE WHY. THE REASON MC ACCOMPANIED SHIRLI ON THIS TRIP WAS CUZ THEY NEEDED TO FIND THIS MAN AND DRAG HIS ASS BACK TO ASTRA AND YOURE TELLING ME ITS A MF SIDE STORY 😭 I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE POINT OF THE PLOT.

also is it just me or the simulacra stories have better "atmosphere/mood" than the mq? like i love the camera shots and angles during dialouge sequences and cutscenes, and mc seems to have more reactions/personality? i need more of them 😔💚 and i will continue to ramble on a different post.

how about some romantic headcanons with zero if you're okay with it? thank you <3

I guess you're okay..

Zero x GN!Reader HC!

A/n: Getting back into writing these!! Feel free for more scenarios or more ideas!!

Zero was never for love, never feeling it was his top priority.

He always focused on making his little inventions and hacking back into Hykros for the 50th time..

He would then meet you, not really caring or focusing on you to be honest.

He just thought you were another person who might hinder his work, so he didn't like you much.

You and him try to work together..but mostly it's him trying to work independently..but then he has to get reminded you are helping him for a reason!

He would begrudgingly work with you, even if you don't match his 'smarts', or if you do, he would be slightly impressed but wouldn't show it.

"Hey, you're supposed to place that here. Huh? No, you read it wrong, it's supposed to be right there! Wh- read it again? Urgh.."

He would slowly work with you more until he was finally used to it and finally let you do your work.

You would invite him for a break or something, making him try to relax.

He would be quite skeptical, and didn't want to..but the workers encouraged it as he needed a break from his hard work, both of you.

He would go..but wouldn't relax much.

He was used to the sandy area of Vera, not really finding most of it relaxing..maybe you two went to Mirriora instead.

You take him and you two have an okay time, going to some of the food areas, chatting about anything, but Zero was mostly quiet as always, annoyed on how he had to go, and how he had to be with all these loud annoying people.

It would take a bit to finally break his walls down, go places with him, work with him, just be friendly..

It would take a long time, but it would be worth it in the end.

Let's just say one day it's just a normal day, and you took him to a secluded area inside the research center..if there even is.

You spill it out and when you look at him..he seems like he was frozen like the bots you and him try to fix.

He would be frozen indeed, but also really red. You almost wanted to call out for a doctor..

"..What..you...me??"

He would stumble over words.

He was indeed shut off from most of the researchers, but he seemed so flustered and unsure if you're being true with him.

After you calm him down, which might've taken a bit, he would shyly accept.

He was quite nervous, which was a change from his normal self.

You two would officially start dating at that moment. It's your choice if you want the other people to know or not, but Zero himself would be too shy to tell them.

When you're together, you get special privileges of course, he seems more calmer and less rude, claiming you fit his 'genius'..if that makes sense.

He is very shy from any affection, but he doesn't exactly say no.

You do understand his discomforts and let him take his time to get used to this.

He does like affection..it's just he's never had any or much before, so it's a big step. He enjoys attention and affection in private though.

Praise him for his work!! He will be red, coughing and thanking you to not show how flattered he is.

"Ahem..uhm- yes, thank you. My work truly is..ahem..good!"

You don't know how to feel worried or amused at how flustered he can get..
