his reaction to your attractive m!friend

kaedehara kazuha (楓原万葉)

“and who was that, petal?” despite his soft voice, you knew better and detected the underlying sharpness hidden within it

“hm? oh, that was luke! he’s my childhood friend. now that i think about it, it’s been a while since we’ve seen one another.” you felt the arm he wrapped around you tighten at the implication that you were considering of seeing this ‘childhood friend’ sooner than he’d like

he wasn’t jealous, he said. his smile wasn’t forced at all, he said. he’d love to meet your friend—your annoyingly attractive friend, who acted too nice in his opinion, he said. there was no issue. none. however, the longer kazuha tried to downplay what he felt, the more the opposite took place

with a tight-lipped smile, kazuha hummed, “that’s nice.”

you weren’t an idiot. you could tell something was wrong with your boyfriend, but you couldn’t pinpoint what. hence, you continue to keep an attentive eye on him for the next few days. which, was smart of you because now you were beginning to see a pattern arise. hm, he only seemed to act this way whenever you mentioned luke…could he be…?

“do you feel threatened by luke, ‘zuha?” you asked one day, as you two cuddled on the couch while you watched the latest netflix series everyone was gushing about online

he hid his face in your hair to hide the expression he wore and prevent you from moving and looking up at him. he whispered, “…no?”

“really?” you chuckled, rubbing his bicep to ease his nerves, “then why do you always glare at him like he wronged you?”

“you noticed?” his intentions of hiding his distaste for your friend long gone. he knew he’d only make himself look like a fool if he continued this charade

“kind of hard not to.”

✔︎ Realizing they’re in love

Reblogs are greatly appreciated!! ♥︎

⠀This is short bc I’m tired but I feel bad for not posting substantial content in some time HAHAHA also unedited and probs kinda shitty but idc idc whoooo

⠀✔︎ Feat: Zhongli, Diluc, Kaeya, Ningguang, Kazuha, Beidou, Thoma, Xiao, Eula, Childe, Tomo (Kazuha’s dead friend) | (Established relationship for Zhongli, Ningguang, Beidou, Xiao, Eula, Tomo) ⠀Navigation

⠀✔︎ Zhongli realizes he loves you suddenly, though it’s been mounting for some time in the back of his mind. It hits him on a quiet night, when he’s at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor signing papers. One moment he hopes that he hasn’t kept you waiting too long, and in the next his thoughts drift to you. Of how peaceful you look asleep, breath coming in steady whispers and brow devoid of furrows and stress. How you instinctively cling to him when he joins you in bed, even unconscious. Zhongli can’t help his smile, nor can he fault the way his chest feels fuller knowing that he has someone to come home to. The realization hits him, though, when he thinks that he wouldn’t mind spending the rest of his life with you in it, and it shakes the immovable geo archon so much that he doesn’t even realize he’s dropped his pen.

⠀✔︎ Diluc doesn’t realize he loves you for a long time–– mainly because he isn’t really familiar with the topic. At first, he finds it strange that his throat tightens up whenever you near him, or that he grows frazzled when you merely bring him a trinket that reminded you of him. He thinks he might be sick at first, and he confuses the hell out of Barbara when he relays his symptoms to her. It takes him having to consult Jean, then Lisa, then taking a good, long time to mull over the fact. His realization hits him fully when he sits near his father’s grave, pensive yet peaceful in the moment. He rambles aloud, as if his father could nod along to every word. He talks about how your eyes glitter when you talk about something you enjoy, about how he itches to hold your hand and wrap you in his coat on colder nights. And when his mouth is dry and he’s exhausted himself, it’s as if he could hear his father’s voice in his mind saying, “You’re in love, son.”

⠀✔︎ Kaeya realizes it relatively quick, but is in denial. He’s observant, so it’s easy for him to catch the way his stare tends to stick on you or how, when you enter a room, his head always raises and a smile quirks his lips. He knows the signs of budding feelings when he sees them, but at first he merely thinks of it as attraction and nothing deeper. It takes someone hitting on you at Angel’s Share for him to realize that it might not just be skin-deep, though. When you smile at the man who politely complimented you and asked if you’d like a drink, Kaeya realizes that even if he wishes to intervene, at the end of the day, you’re not romantically with him. This encounter pushes him to realize the depth of his feelings for you, to say the least. Thankfully, you politely decline the stranger, and the rest of your night is uneventful. But when he walks you back home, your hand in his, Kaeya finally accepts that what he feels for you is so much more than just infatuation.

Simple things you do that gets their hearts pounding (pt. 2)

characters; Xiao, Gorou, Albedo, Eula, Ganyu, Ei

part one |

Xiao

He keeps telling himself that as an adeptus, he shouldn't show any type of weakness towards you, since he wants to be reliable and dependable in your eyes. He doesn't want you treating his wounds like he's as brittle as pristine glass. But seeing the genuine care in your eyes as you slowly lift his chin, shuts him up completely. "Just leave this to me, okay?" He nods obediently, closing his eyes as his pain gets drowned out by his loud, thudding heart.

Gorou

You might view that petting his head is a light-hearted action, but each time you ruffle his hair heartily with that smile of yours, he can't think of anything else besides what he's seeing. Seeing you laugh at the way his ears twitch and slowly burn red gets him back into reality. He gently pushes your hand away, coughing into his other palm with rosy cheeks. "Please stop it." He leaves the scene quickly, but his wagging tail tells you that he didn't mean what he said at all.

Albedo

The cool, calm and collected air that surrounds him tends to make people around him quite shy, so when his lover gets quite assertive, by either initiating kisses on his hand/neck, or pinning him onto a wall jokingly causes his brain to temporarily short circuit. He doesn't know to react properly, but he's quite intrigued on why you suddenly seem way more attractive than normal. And why is his heart beating faster?

Eula

"Quit staring." She scoffs, making her way to you in quick strides, but you laugh at her words. "Is it so wrong to admire such a beautiful being?" As soon as her ears received your response, she nearly tripped on her heels, but she quickly catches herself gracefully by taking your shoulders. When you ask her what's wrong, she glares right into your eyes, her orbs glimming with determination. "I will exact vengeance upon you by staring harder!"

Ganyu

Simply reassurance. The happiness she feels is no joke when you tell her that it's alright to eat qingxins when you're on dates, not wanting for her to feel uncomfortable about the food you bought. She clutches the basket of qingxins you got near her chest. "...thank you." Her head hangs low, hiding her redness from your sight as you laughed in response. "To be honest, I'd like to see you get a bit chubby." Her heads shoots up in response. "Eh??"

Ei

The raiden shogun is very aware of the fact that you don't enjoy being in her plane of euthemia, but the surprise in her face is evident when she gets a message from her puppet, saying that you insisted on wanting to visit her despite not liking the gloom atmosphere in her consciousness. The moment you enter, the skies in the dimension light up to a beautiful shade of blue and purple instead of a dark red, signaling you that she's indeed happy to see her lover again.

I've just seen that you're asking for Thoma requests so I thought to ask (if you're comfortable with it) if you'd do some headcannons if he was self aware like Monika from Ddlc if you're not feel free to ignore this :)

#self aware!thoma

WARNING. may have slight spoilers on his story (about his parents)

NOTES. I will be basing this off on how I built thoma lmao i’m sorry this is slightly self-indulged. I’m laughing so hard while writing this, enjoy everyone

THOMA

Appreciates you especially if you tried so hard to pull for him. He really did his best in order to come home but he’s such a generous person to others and let them come home to you first before himself--such a gentleman, huh?

Oh! You have a Staff of Homa or Deathmatch? Are you going to-

Black Tassel… alright, well at least it gives him a lot of HP! It doesn’t matter that it once was from Zhongli or maybe Hu Tao or you specifically built it for him. He doesn’t really mind because you puting him in your team is just enough for him to be happy.

If you level him up to 80 or 90, he’d be extremely grateful, but to be honest? Whatever level you have him on, he will still do his best whenever you put him on your team and remain loyal to you til the end. The additional power and strength are just bonus points to him.

Helping you is his pleasure, he takes absolute delight in having to assist you and your team in any way he can.

When you don’t place him on your team, he’s a little bit sad but he doesn’t brood over such negativities and is just here to help… that’s it, basically.

Take him to Mondstadt every once in a while! He gets homesick as well, of course, so he will appreciate you if you take him there. You’ll probably see him with the dogs or cats around the square near the fountain, or maybe greeting the vendors and trying to meet the others whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. Where’s his mother anyway? He should try to find her.

When you or your team is in danger he would probably switch to himself on his own accord. You’d sometimes think this is a glitch but he does that most of the times, especially since he was beginning to have feelings for you.

You probably will see your foods increase when you look so closely, or even your fishes that comes from Inazuma. The culprit? Of course, it’s him. There’s no one else who can cook a lot and also catch fish for you like that.

Your teapot house oh Archons. You were just muttering how you like things this way and that in your teapot but you just couldn’t find the time and the next time you log in, he already did it for you.

Your smile makes his day so there are probably times he crits better when he feels energized by your positivity! You’ll find yourself praising him and this continues on until the end of the fight.

When you realize it had been him all long and that he became self aware, he won’t try to hide it from you and would just go along the flow, basically.

I could imagine actually in the Dream of Bloom event, you will find a couple of extra flowers on your inventory, probably one each day--he did that too.

You know how the anime adaptations of otome games choose to animate one route, making the chosen love interest the male lead in the anime? If The Beginning, I'm A Villainess But I'm Not Evil! and Isekai Chronicles were to get anime adaptations, who would you choose as the male lead?

This is a very interesting question because The Beginning is originally supposed to have one male lead - Diluc. If I had to choose someone as the male lead for the anime adaptations, then:

The Beginning

I still stand by Diluc being the male lead. I believe that out of all the love interests, he's the one who spent the most time with (y/n). It may not seem very obvious at first, but he's the one who helped her come to terms with herself, protected her and watched her grow. I don't think anyone could take care of (y/n) better than Diluc, whose feelings for her developed the most.

I'm A Villainess But I'm Not Evil!

This may seem very surprising but I think a Thoma endgame is good. I can't say much because we have yet to get to a certain part of the story, but Thoma has met the villainess when they were younger. As the plot progresses, you will see a significant development in Thoma/Mc's relationship (the development may be even better than Kazuha/Mc's) - and as I've said in a previous ask, you will probably come to hate Ayato in Thoma's stead. I honestly think the love between Thoma and the villainess is very beautiful, and I hope the readers will share the same opinion as me once all the truths are revealed.

Isekai Chronicles

We're only on chapter one LMAO- However, I can see Itto being the male lead. He's just... so pure, so cheerful, and in a way, so human. You will see our girlboss mc lose touch with her human side in Part II: The Inquisitor's Might, but Itto will always be there to help her remain true to herself. He's probably the only reason she retains her real personality while she's acting as a Supreme Being.

One of the greatest moments in anime history. 

Lineart

When i first started drawing i was really into art styles that involved line art. Line art is an easy way to get the figure out and the open and can really make it easier to build up the figure, coloring and details. There are many different ways to draw/paint a piece but for now i want to talk about line art, how it works and different ways it can be used.

I always see people talk about how much they hate line art but honestly i love it. To improve your line art you will need line confidence, line thickness, line color, and line suggestion.

First is line confidence to achieve this you need to STOP drawing scratchy/hairy lines. This is when you draw multiple tiny lines to create the figure. Do not be afraid of your own lines, you need to draw long smooth lines. When I’m drawing on tablet program such as procreate a thing that can help is putting streamline up to max, it will help control my lines to make them less wiggly and i can draw long smooth lines with ease. For pc users you need to use control z more or use the eraser more to help fix some mistakes. Also just drawing traditionally can help immensely. Grab some sheets of paper and do daily warms up of drawing straight lines in a fast but controllable pace, drawing circles and swirls can help as well. Make a habit of using your elbow more for big lines, it gives more control

For line thickness when the lines converge try and add fatter lines where they merge. Adding lines to creases and crevices will add more depth to the drawing. When it comes to details in the piece use thinner finer lines. On procreate you can adjust the pressure curve of your pen to help you out when you’re transfering to lighter or darker line weights.

Also another little tip when drawing something and you want to express that an items closer to the view point then another then darken the lines. The front has darker lines the back has finer lines.

Lineart can also help with understanding where the lighting of the piece is coming from, where ever the darker lines lay thats where the shadow belongs, where the finer lines are layed is where the light is hitting.

For linecolor it can help alot with your look and perspective. So for an example if a item is far away in the background you can change it into a slightly lighter color to convey that. Lighten and darken your values to add more to the persepective of your drawing. Also you can change the color of your lineart so for example your character has lighter skin then give them a pinkish type of lineart, the character has blonde hair give them a blondish orange type of lineart for their hair. You just need to tint it a little never have lineart just be pitch black, add some colors to it like brown, blue pink and red.

Lastly line suggestion is when you use lines in a different way to show the viewer that what they’re looking at isn’t just a straight object. So An example of this is a curved surface, to give it some volume u need to suggest it, so by adding tiny lines and details. This will give it a look as if its a curving or round object and not just a solid blocky one. This can also help with folds in clothings and clothes. So if the fold is inwards you create lines inside the fold then as the lines are reaching the end out of the the fold they fade out. An example of this will be in the bottom the best way i can explain this look is like hatching.

I will show you examples down below of a few of my line art related works and i will show you what setting i have on my procreate. When doing line art i like using the dry ink brush because it adds a lot of depth very easily. I use to use the soft hair brush and i still think its good because it helps a lot with line value. Also this is optional but i love to duplicate my line art layer then gaussian blurring it, lower the opacity to around 30. It just gives it a more softer look.
