Destiny and fate are two different things, Barbatos knew that.

Blessed by destiny, cursed by fate—what else was he supposed to do just to not lose you?

He tried. He tried each and every time he hears your voice through the wind, when he feels the tug on his finger, urging him to come close, to come find you once more. A red string of fate connecting you and him, a reminder of what had been, a reflection of what could have been.

Venti never really intended to give his Gnosis, no, he wasn’t that easy to back down. Yet, all of his strength were sucked by the painful memories of the past, and just by your memory, he knew that it was time to fight back.

You were a mere mortal. In all of your lifetimes, you had always been a mortal. And yet, you were stronger than everyone, in terms of your dignity, sense of freedom, and pride. You were a fighter, and you were one of his inspirations.

It didn’t matter that he had to wait for a couple of years before seeing you again, not at first, that is. He didn’t see any wrong with it, but after witnessing your death several times, all with the same age, same day, and same loss of life in your eyes, he knew it had to stop.

It hurts so much.

No matter what, you two always found each other. Both would create happy memories for awhile, but the inevitable will always come.

At your 18th birthday at the 18th hour, Barbatos, a god, dreads that very specific moment. Because it was at this moment that you’d perish and he would have to wait for your other life. He was tired of it.

“Maybe I should go with you, what do you say?”

“What do you mean, Venti? This commission is just simple, I’ll be back before you know it!”

He was always too late, always left hanging surprised despite already knowing what was to happen. He always hoped that something will change, that your love was enough for you to live.

How foolish of him.

“Why do you not want me to go, love? Is there a problem?”

He held on to your waist, refusing to let himself be engulfed in the negativity. He’s with you, what could happen, right?

It was inevitable.

Death by a fight, an illness, an accident, it was inevitable.

Venti gave up his Gnosis not because he couldn’t take it.

He gave it as a rebellion.

Whoever was the god of fate, he was willing to fight them. It was selfish, he knows, but who cares.

He just wants to live with you. Fate and destiny be damned.

A tug on his finger lits his eyes up, a smile forming at his face all of a sudden.

“Hey why are you smiling like that, tone-deaf bard?” Paimon asks him, but his grin merely widens.

“Nothing. Hey, what do you say I tell you of the story?”

“What is it about?”

There was a bittersweet feeling in his chest, but the smile retained on his face, just a little bit different than before.

“It’s about the story of the bard and his fight for his people, and his lover.”

And for some reason, the traveller and Paimon felt the pain in his words as he sang a song about the blessings of destiny and curses of fate.

About the ending? Who knows.

ACCIDENTAL SLIME FATHERS (ANEMO VER.)

━━ ☆ INCLUDES: xiao, venti, aether

━━ ☆ SUMMARY: thoughts on how the anemo boys would react to a slime being attached to you.

━━ ☆ WARNINGS: none

━━ ☆ REQUESTED: @fatisangraysama​

— xiao;

it was a good day in liyue. the sun was warm but not too hot to burn and the skies were a clear blue with no signs of rain coming anytime soon.

it was a rare opportunity so you decided to take a stroll in the forest.

after a few hours of berry picking, you stopped for a quick rest by the roots of a big and archaic tree.

unbeknownst to you, there was a certain slime floating right over your head.

and while you didn’t notice the foreign presence, someone else did.

you shrieked as xiao plunged right beside you, eyes dripping with strength and malice.

while diluc wanted to kill the slime, xiao wanted to decimate it.

he wasted no time and ran after the slime who bounced away in panic.

‘you almost died. twice.’ was all that ran in your head.

that is until the slime whimpered, effectively attacking your soft heart.

with a hesitant smile, you mumbled his name and xiao turns his attention to you.

were you hurt? did you need anything? should he race back to wangshu inn?

no, it was worse than that.

you wanted to keep… a slime? xiao briefly wondered if he accidentally hit you in the head or something.

good luck convincing him.

i’m not entirely sure how you’ll manage to do that because xiao was looking at you very strangely.

“come on, please? i’ll ignore the fact that you were practically stalking me when we agreed that you wouldn’t do that.”

“…”

it was a silence worth an hour at the very least. just as you were about to give up, xiao sighed and turned around.

“…tsk. you mortals and your odd behaviors.”

so now you have a slime child!

all was good in paradise.

…except xiao did not like the idea of playing daddy.

he would glare at the slime and prod at it when you mentioned some out-of-the-ordinary thing it did.

and god forbid you spend more time with the slime than with him. he just might snap.

like that one time you were gushing over the slime because it cuddled into you out of nowhere.

he waited until you left to get a drink before he stared at the slime. after a while, he reached out to tentatively pinch it which prompted an odd (in his opinion) sound from it.

it was like a more durable jelly and it’s very, very strange. it’s a little cold though and for some reason, playing around with it felt satisfying.

not like xiao would admit to it. he heard you climbing up the stairs and immediately withdrew his hands much to the slime’s complaints.

after that encounter, you notice the slime’s inclination to xiao.

like that one moment when you were fixing yourself a snack and when you turned around, it was gone. you intended to ask xiao for help but instead, you found the slime next to xiao just purring at him with puppy eyes despite the adeptus’ pointed attempts to ignore its presence.

one time, xiao was out and about, exorcising grudges and demons and all that fancy stuff.

in the middle of the fight, he spots the slime in the corner making heart eyes at him.

the way his heart dropped—

he swiftly finishes the one he’s battling and speeds to reach the slime.

he grips it very unceremoniously but you can excuse his attitude because he’s literally in the middle of a battle that could end with the both of them dead.

so now, there’s xiao battling cursed subjects with one hand because the other is too occupied carrying the slime.

after a while, he got enough room to breathe and he places the slime up on a tree.

“stay,” he says firmly as he pointed a finger at the slime. it was as if he was a father scolding a child.

in a way he was. trace amounts of disbelief and disappointment were in his tone but he wasn’t angry. 

he cleans up the rest of his enemies as quickly as possible and he brings the slime back to you.

you promptly began scolding it and the slime had the audacity to whine.

meanwhile, xiao was just crossing his arms in the background, watching the scene unfold.

even he had to admit that it was pretty cute.

later that night, you asked xiao to bring it along with him sometimes so it wouldn’t have to sneak around.

xiao surprisingly agreed.

since they’re around each other more often now, the slime slowly began carving itself a spot in his heart.

little taps of affection, not quite close to petting, just fingers lingering long enough for three quick pats.

sometimes, you’ll be on your way back to wangshu inn and you’ll spot them side by side, waiting for you.

even rarer, you’ll wake up around midnight to see both the slime and xiao missing but the soft sound of a flute being blown calms you down.

he’ll never confess to it but if anything happens to the slime, he’ll go out on his way to exterminate whoever did it.

it doesn’t matter if it’s a shrub or a treasure hoarder. they’re done for.

to sum it up, a very protective dad who pretends he doesn’t care but is always keeping an eye on it. 10/10

irises 🌿 genshin headcan/nons

rie’s note : i was supposed to write this yesterday, then my body and brain really said “no♡”, that i ended up falling asleep, might make a part two of this for the other boys, but who knows, i also hope albie isn’t too ooc here :’D

characters : diluc ragnvindr, kaeya alberich, albedo.

pairings : diluc x gn reader, kaeya x gn reader, albedo x gn reader.

genre : fluff.

warnings : spoilers from the manga/story quest.

summary : how do their eyes react when they see them and what do they see in yours?

irises mini-series - pt. 2, pt. 3.

vast, ruby, and volcanic are his irises.

often holding blankless eyes, as he minds his own business on wherever he went and whatever he does.

the loss of his own father figure, that one person he’d swore to make him proud, became like this. everything he had planned, was broken on that very day, he can recall as if it just happened yesterday, nightmares hunted him ever since then.

settling his eyes on your figure, those eyes glow every single time, bringing life to his.

a campfire in those eyes that burns brighter with your accompany, the heart that he shielded from everyone, was broken down by you, yourself.

seeing the innocence in them those small pupils of yours, warmed his, those barricades that he built, were broken down by you, again.

he didn’t mind nor did he try putting the bricks back up, for you unknowingly break them down as many times as you can.

welcoming it with open arms, he let them down and absorbed every single piece of you.

icy, sapphire, and atlantic are his irises.

one can never tell what does he actually feels, his voice alluring all of people in mondstadt, he isn’t the ‘the top candidate for grandson-in-law’ for nothing.

always founded sitting at the tavern, in the time where most people should be asleep, drinking wine. eccentric, way different from his stepbrother. never once speaking a word of his background nor past.

when he sees you with your friends, he founds himself sauntering his way to yours.

he enjoys making you flustered on the smooth-talking way of his, making you throw a couple of soft punches to his chest.

though you never saw the way his eyes gazed towards to yours of the way it sparkles, too occupied at your actions.

oh, if only you weren’t dense, he’d be willing to maybe open himself up more.

finding more pleasure in teasing you, implying that he may want to be more than friends.

logical, calculating, and oceanic are his irises.

life revolving around alchemy, looking for the truth and meaning of this world everyone live in for so long. exploring every scientific possibility, with the assistance of the two of his apprentices, timaeus and sucrose.

often in the snowy mountains of dragonspine, rarely had he talked to people as he is too invested on his experiments. if there was a topic that didn’t catch his eyes, he’ll become cold.

when his green-haired assistant brings you in, he founds you…endearing, in a strange way that he couldn’t put a word off.

the blonde finds his way of often asking for your help, finding you a very fascinating person to be with.

his younger sister, klee, who had a habit of causing trouble every now and then, he would scold her for being reckless. and there was you, comforting her with gentle eyes that affects something in him.

dozens of many questions flash through his mind, what are these feelings is he experiencing?

finding it strange, he sought more for it, maybe with your help, he can puzzle these together. he’ll also sketch lots of images of you.

requests - open! | rules ; masterlist |

Spoilers for the pt 2 of the windblume quest

About the whole thing with Kaeya saying mi muhe ye (I'll triumphant over you) to Venti I don't think meant it as a threat like most people has theorized. I'm not sure of it's just me simping for Kaeya but I think he really cares about Mondstant (I keep calling it Mondo for some reason lol) or at least he cares about what his adopted father has done to the country(?) and he cares about his brother Diluc.

He obviously knows Venti is Barbatos, like c'mon he came from that old place that starts with a K and is very hard to pronounce and spell, so I think he knows that someone is possibly going to attack Venti (base from the trailer) and that's his way of trying to warn him. I know he could've worded it better but there were no other words lmaooo I looked at this reddit post of translation of hilichurlian from CN and there's really nothing that can be used to give a warning to someone as they're all about victory, dominating over someone, etc. etc.

I'm sorry if that was long and full of miny tangents it's just that I haven't seen anyone with the same outlook as me in this topic lol. Overall what I learned is that if I'm as invested in my class as I am in genshin I could've written so many great essays💜💜💜

Is it alright if you send me the link anon? I havent been scrolling on reddit lately so i already knew i’ve missed lots of good stuffs in the official subreddit especially those theories ughh

Might as well start digging up there and search for good theories lying in there

The Butterfly project- draw a butterfly on the place(s) that you would self harm and if the butterfly fades without self-harming, it means it has lived and flown away, giving a sense of achievement. Whereas if you do self-harm with the butterfly there; you will have to wash it off. If that does happen, you can start again by drawing a new one on. You can name the butterfly after someone you love.

Write the name of a loved one [a friend, family member, or anyone else who cares about you] and write their name where you want to self harm. When you go to self harm remember how much they care and wouldn’t want you to harm yourself.

think about what you would say to a friend who was struggling with the same things you are and try to be a good friend to yourself.

Give yourself a henna or fake tattoo

Make “wounds” with makeup, like lipstick

Draw on the areas you want to cut using ice that you’ve made by dropping six or seven drops of red food color into each of the ice-cube tray wells.

Paint yourself with red tempera paint.

‘Cut’ your skin with nail polish (it feels cold, but it’s hard to get off)

Alternatives to help you sort through your feelings:

Phone a friend and talk to them

Make a collage of how you feel

Negotiate with yourself

Identify what is hurting so bad that you need to express it in this way

Write your feelings in a diary

Start a grateful journal where everyday you write down three: good things that happened/ things that you accomplished/ are grateful for/ made you smile. Make sure the journal is strictly for positive things. Then when you feel down you can go back and look at it.
