“Who Was Y/n To You?” “Y/n Was My Deep, Forbidden Love. The Most Magnificent Dream Of My Adolescence.”

hi! could i request a Hu Tao x fem! reader fic where Hu Tao realizes she has feelings for the reader and tries to confess? thank you!

How do I tell her? [Hu Tao x Fem!Reader]

Ofc!! Hope this is okay 🥰

“Little miss Hu Tao? You have been acting strange lately, is everything alright?”

“Of course not Mr Zhongli! I’m sick!” Her hands flapped around, feet padding against the wooden floorboards. Her mind was running a mile a minute, your smile only being the thing she pictured in the back of her mind.

“Oh? Is it contagious?”

Xingqui’s laugh cut through her thoughts. “Hahah, not that kind of sick. she’s got the case of love.”

Zhongli coughed, readjusting his tie as he sighed. “I see, we’ll I have no experience in that department I’m afraid.” Making his way back to his desk to continue some paperwork.

“Expected.”

Hu Tao flopped onto the floor, her hands covering her bright red face as her friends laughed at her suffering. Picking and prying at her to tell them all her feelings while she tried to contain her rapid beating heart.

“So…. [Name] huh?”

“Shut it!”

“Come on Tao! You gotta tell us about her!”

She sighed, sitting up as she crossed her legs. The group of trouble makers cheered, sitting down to join her as they new she was going to spill out all her adoration.

“Jeez, where do I start. She’s just too I don’t know, perfect!”

Xianling nudged Chounyun’s shoulder as she wiggled her eye brows, the three of them stared at the love struck funeral parlour director. They were happy, it was about time she fell in the spiral of love.

Maybe, just maybe they could catch a break from her little pranks if she had someone to keep her in line.

“Start from the beginning, where do you two meet?”

Hu Tao smiled, not even having to think about it since she remembered every second the two of you spent together.

“She was walking back from the harbour before she dropped some of her belongings, of course I went over to help since I’m very polite!”

The group nodded sarcastically, nudging each other as they laughed. She wined, she was nice! Why else would she help people burry their loved deceased ones?

“Okay okay, what happened next?”

She sighed, resting her head in her palm as she stared out into the window. She remembered the smile you gave her as she handed you your stuff, your face was just breathtaking. The most perfect one she has ever seen all across Liyue.

“Her smile? Just perfect, and and and our hands touched! Her hands were so soft, the most delicate fingers too!”

“Uh huh? What else?”

“Oh! And her hair! How could I forget! It looked so beautiful! It really framed her face so well! How could someone just be so perfect.”

Her pupils were basically hearts at this point, the deeply smile really told the group what they needed to know.

“Wow Hu Tao, your in love love.”

“Double love.”

“Mhm mhm”

She shook her head, trying to shake away the thoughts of you that crowded her mind. Fingers coming up to run through her hair while she sighed.

“Love huh?”

They nodded, watching as she fell back with a squeal. Her face was as red as a pyro slime, probably as hot as one too at the thought of being with you.

“If this is what love feels like, I don’t want it to end.”

“Well you have to tell her girl!”

“Yes! Confess your undying love just like all those love novels i have shown you!”

“You two would make a good couple.”

She sat up, her eyes wide as she stared at her friends as if they were crazy.

“Confess?! What! I cant do that! What if, what if she doesn’t like me back.”

“Uhh Tao?”

“I mean [Name] is just so perfect! Too perfect for this world.” Hands covering her ears as she rolled around on the floor, blocking out her friends voices as you took over her thoughts.

“Hey… Hu Tao”

“Like she’s just amazing! You guys don’t understand how much I like her! But I don’t know if she likes me back!”

“Well uhm, you’re about to find out.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

She sat up, her eyes drifting in the direction her friends were looking. Face turning as white as a ghost as she saw what they were referring too.

“G-good morning Hu Tao, did you forget you invited me over today? Sorry for interrupting.”

There you stood, hands shaking while you held a basket full of fresh fruit you must have picked for this occasion.

Your gaze was looking at your feet, avoiding Hu Tao’s that were staring at your face with wide eyes.

“O-oh hey [Name], how are.. how are you doing?”

Suddenly she was pulled up and pushed in your direction, looking back to Xianling who grabbed the others and walked for the other door. “Nows your time!”

She watched as her friends left, pulling Zhongli up by the arm and taking him with them.

She was sweating, doing everything she could to not look at you. Her hands gripping onto the hem of her shirt as she whistled.

“Did you mean it?”

“Hmm?”

She finally mustered up the courage to look you in your eyes, seeing you look at her with a nervous look.

“That you like me, did you mean that?”

She sighed, hand on her neck while she wiping the sweat her forehead before sighed.

‘You’re too deep in now, no point hiding it anymore.’

“Yes, I did. I really like you [Name], a lot.”

The nerves made her body tingle, anxiously waiting for your response with anticipation.

She saw you open your mouth before closing it, debating on what you wanted to say. Oh no, is she going to say no?

You stepped forward, your face being right in front of hers as you smiled. “Of course I like you, in fact I was going to tell you today actually.”

She watched as you brought your hand to her face, fingers holding her cheeks delicately as you brought your face closer to place a soft kiss on top of her nose.

You smiled, pulling away as you watched Hu Tao blush. Her cheeks were a bright rosy red as she gave you a derpy smile, too in love to respond.

“Would you want to.. I don’t know, go on a picnic somewhere?” You asked, bringing the food up to show her all the fruit you brought.

“Yes! Let’s go to Wuwang hill! They have loads of cool things there! Come one lets go!” Grabbing you hand, she pulled you along the streets of Liyue. Both of you smiling as you ran your way to your date spot, both as happy as could be in this moment.

They all watched as you guys ran, smiling as they watched her friend finally find the love she deserved.

“When are you going to get a girlfriend old man?”

Zhongli sighed, making his way back inside to finish his work.

“Not any time soon.”

HI WOLF i really loved that pocky game request it was so good sCREAMS- but anyway can i get uhhhhhh holding hands with the inazuma girls??? they r so pretty and i cant find content for them sob

warnings: h*ndholding………… -g/n reader

notes: quite the lewd request anon 😳 /j

jokes aside, this is rlly cute hahaha

also, sorry this took so long!!! i got really busy with life and stuff ;;

ayaka

-she’s a lil shy about it, but she loves holding your hand!

-she blushes in surprise when you randomly grab her hand and hold it.

-on the days you go out to eat, you’ll hold hands with her, putting your hands on the table.

-it makes her blush, but she loves it.

-even when asleep, she’ll hold your hand.

-cute

“y-y/n?!” ayaka exclaimed when you intertwined your hand with hers, placing them on the table.

“what? can i not hold hands with my totally adorable girlfriend?” you laughed as her face reddened.

“i-i never said that you couldn’t!” she quickly said, attempting to cover her face with the one hand that wasn’t holding yours.

“aw, i was just teasing, aya~” you kissed her cheek. “love ya!”

at this point, she was a flustered mess. all she could do was mumble in response.

you smiled.

archons, she is adorable.

yoimiya

-YES!!

-she LOVES holding your hand!!

-actually, a lot of the time, she does it without even realizing.

-sometimes when she’s talking, she’ll just grab one (or both) of your hands and hold it tightly.

-when watching fireworks, yoimiya will most definitely hold your hand.

-if you pull her into your lap, she’ll lean into you while watching the show.

-if you tell her what she did after, she’ll just laugh and tease you for liking it.

-overall, yoimiya finds hand holding a wonderful way to show affection.

“hm..? yoimiya?” you hummed as her hand suddenly found its way to yours.

she intertwined it with your hand, eyes sparkling as she watched the fireworks. She paid no attention to the light blush dusting your face.

“Ah..” you wanted to tell her, after all, she probably did it on accident. it’s likely she didn’t mean to hold your hand. however, you decided against telling her. you… quite enjoyed it, actually.

‘well then,’ smiling, you squeezed her hand.

you saw a small smile form on yoimiya’s face. though she didn’t look away from the bright, flashing fireworks, you could tell that she certainly was aware that you had embraced her hand in yours.

and that was how she liked it <3

kokomi

-absolutely!!!

-def loves to hold your hand, any time, any place.

-in fact, kokomi does more than that.

-she’ll kiss your hand!

-randomly, she’ll grab your hand, smile that sweet cute smile at you.

-she’ll squeeze it softly a few times

-then bring it up to her lips and kiss it!

-cute!

-she really loves the way that your face heats up, and how you cutely cover your face with your hands.

“y/n? could you show me your hand, please?” kokomi asked, smiling.

you tilted your head a bit, but showed her your hand.

“thank you, mwah!” and with that, she kissed the back of your hand, looking up at you happily as your face slowly flushed red.

“kokomiiii… we’re in public..” you whined, looking away from her.

“and?” she giggled “if you don’t like that, then maybe you’d prefer..” placing your hand directly in the palm of her hand, she intertwined her fingers with yours, squeezing a few times.

if it was possible for your face to look redder, somehow, it had certainly happened.

“s-sweetheart-!” you exclaimed, feeling very hot.

“hm?” she looked at you. “my dear, what’s the matter?”

quieting down, you kissed her cheek.

“i love you… even though you.. can be mean… sometimes.”

“i love you too, y/n!”

yae miko

-yeah she’s down!!

-especially if you get really flustered about it.

-yae LOVES seeing your face flush red when she randomly grabs your hand.

-and you can bet she’ll tease you about it!

-”aww, you’re blushing aren’t you? yes, you are, love~”

-this fox is certainly a lover of flirting, and genuinely making you blush.

-she’s very good at it as well!

-so, good luck to the easily flustered~

“aH!” you exclaimed when your girlfriend grabbed your hand.

“well, that was certainly an adorable noise.” she chuckled.

“mmm….” you grumbled, flustered.

“aww, all it takes to fluster you is simply just holding your hand?” yae smirked, using her other hand to pat your head.

“yaeeee please… why now…” you squeaked as she headpatted you.

“because your reactions are just adorable!”

you whimpered flusteredly, nuzzling her neck, which made her giggle.

“why is everything you do so cute, hm? what IS your secret?”

“IDONTKNOWIDONTKNOWIDONTKNOW”

“haha.” she purred.

clearly, yae enjoys teasing you.

baal/ei

-i feel like she would!

-i wouldn’t say she’d show you off to others, but internally, she would be like

-“hah yeah now everyone knows that this is my partner!”

-so holding hands with her would make her quite happy!

-baal just loves spending time with you in all honesty,

-being a god is just… tiring, yk?

-but i digress.

-also, like kokomi, she definitely loves kissing your hand.

-hah.

“baal?” your head tilted as her hand suddenly found its way to yours, fingers intertwining. “what are you doing?”

“i’ve been informed that… handholding is a common way to show intimacy.. so…” baal said quietly. “if you don’t like it, i can always.. move.”

you shook your head. “no no, i like this.” you squeezed her hand to emphasize your point. “i just didn’t expect it, is all.”

“ah.” she nodded.

you leaned up to kiss baal’s cheek, smiling when she made a quite adorable noise out of surprise.

“people don’t tell you this enough, but you’re really cute, o great shogun~”

“cute? that’s.. certainly a new one.” she turned her head away quickly, but you could see her face flushing red.

“it’s true! and i’m surprised you don’t get told this more often, but then again, only i get to see this side of you.”

“…dork.” she laughed flusteredly.

who knew inazuma’s archon could be so cute??

Congrats on 2k! Could I request C M F K with Jean, Baal, and Ganyu for the event

alphabet prompt 2k special

letters C, M, F , K

includes: jean, baal, ganyu

prompts can be found here

a/n: i just wanted to say that this made me incredibly soft for ganyu i love her so dearly so. to all of my jean, baal, and ganyu lovers, i hope u all enjoy this

jean

c — cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how do they cuddle?

jean loves to cuddle. she kind of sees it as a stress reliever. she loves to rest her head on your chest and listen to your heartbeat as you absentmindedly play with her hair, taking it out of the tight ponytail she always keeps it in. it’s therapeutic, almost, and it always helps her fall asleep much quicker.

m — mornings (what are mornings with them like?)

jean usually wakes up very early, so it’s rare that you get a chance to see her before she starts her day. she’ll usually use the extra minutes before getting out of bed to look at your sleeping figure next to her with a small smile on her face. if you do wake up, though, she’ll softly tell you to go back to bed before kissing your forehead.

f — fight (how would they react to getting into an argument with you?)

she would hate it, and after calming herself down, would talk it out with you. she can’t stand the thought of you being mad at her, so she’ll solve things quickly.

k — kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss?

her kisses are slow and gentle. this poor girl is so tired when she finally gets to see you, she only has enough energy to give you a kiss. besides your lips, of course, she loves to kiss your cheek or kiss your fingers while holding onto your hand.

baal

c — cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how do they cuddle?

she enjoys it, but it took her some time to get used to it. she likes to be held. she likes that for once, she feels taken care of. it’s just enough to help her get her mind off of the things plaguing her mind.

m — mornings (what are mornings with them like?)

you’ve never woken up before her. she doesn’t exactly sleep the best, so she wakes up extremely early every morning. if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see her before she leaves for the day, but that’s rare. and if you do, she’ll just say a quiet “good morning. have a good day.”

f — fight (how would they react to getting into an argument with you?)

she has no time for it. even if she wants to, she’ll never get mad at you. she has enough things to worry about as it is, so she just hopes you’ll be able to patch things with her easily.

k — kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss?

she makes every kiss with her feel like it’s the last. they’re always passionate, loving. she always kisses your lips.

ganyu

c — cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how do they cuddle?

she loves cuddling even if it makes her flustered. if it’s you holding her or her holding you, she loves it. but her favorite way to cuddle is to lay on your chest as you lazily play with her hair.

m — mornings (what are mornings with them like?)

it’s so hard to wake up with her — it’s difficult to get out of bed when it’s so warm and you get to see ganyu looking back at you with sleepy eyes. you don’t get out of bed until she finally realizes that she needs to start her day and quickly jumps out of bed.

f — fight (how would they react to getting into an argument with you?)

fights are practically nonexistent, but if any disagreements happen, she’ll patch it up immediately because knowing that you’re upset with her or vice versa distracts her, leaving her unable to focus on anything which is a huge problem for ganyu, especially when all she wants to do is get home to you.

k — kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss?

ganyu’s kisses are gentle, soft, and shy. she moves so slowly that one might think she’s unsure of what she’s doing, but that isn’t it at all. she’s just savoring the moment because it’s so rare to get a lot of time alone with you.

Too many gals to list react to S/O saying "I love you"

- Jean is a little taken back, but she quickly responds with a smile and a blush.

- Her hand goes over theirs and says:

(Jean) "I love you too, S/O."

- Her smile stays there for the rest of their day together.

- A sentence like that is not to be taken lightly with Jean, so she knows S/O is being genuine, and that couldn't make her happier.

- Her cold demeanor is shattered when she hears that sentence.

- Eula is not used to affection given to her by S/O to begin with. Considering her family life and how she's treated, this is genuinely the first time she's ever had someone say this to her.

- She hesitates for a moment before turning to S/O, though she is unable to look them in the eye.

(Eula) "I...love you, as well."

- She turns away again, red slowly creeping onto her face.

(Eula) "Or do I? This could be an elaborate..." sigh "...You...You mean that right?"

- NANI?!

(Fischl) "W-Where did that come from?!"

- She is a stuttering mess, barely able to compose herself.

(Fischl) "A-Ah, who wouldn't? But feel lucky, S/O. For your love is requited and-"

(Oz) "Surely it would not kill you to be serious for S/O, even for a second? Besides, how many novels have you read where you vocalized you wanted-"

(Fischl) "DON'T YOU FINISH THAT! U-Um..."

(S/O) "Amy?"

- She has to look away and is barely heard.

(Fischl) "...L-Love you too...and please don't call me that..."

(Noelle) "Come again? I'm sorry but it sounded like you said 'I love you'."

(S/O) "That's because I did."

- She pauses what she's doing and takes a moment to process it.

(Noelle) "O-Oh, I apologize! I love you too!"

- The smile on her face is infectious, she is panicking a little but hearing it makes her day.

- She is unused to matters of the heart, but she is filled with energy hearing it.

(Beidou) "Hah, where'd that come from now?"

- She laughs and moves closer to S/O, an arm around them.

- Beidou puts her head on their shoulder and closes her eye.

(Beidou) "Love you too."

- She honestly couldn't be happier, the only thing missing is a drink in both of their hands.

(Lisa) "Oh? Sorry, couldn't catch that. Could you say it again?"

- With a smirk and her hand wrapped around one ear, it was obvious she heard it.

(S/O) "I love you, Lisa."

(Lisa) "Ah, now I heard it."

- She chuckles and puts down her tea to walk over to S/O.

- Lisa gives them a kiss on the cheek and hugs them.

(Lisa) "Love you too, dear."

- Although she was teasing, hearing that has made her week.

- Despite her casual attitude, those three words carry a lot of weight to them, and hearing it from S/O means she's as happy as she can be.

Genshin girls seeing you simp for Lady dimitrescu

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Warnings: slight Resident Evil Village spoilers if you haven’t gotten to Lady D’s part, tittes

Word count: 0.6k

Featuring: Ningguang, Hu Tao, Yanfei, Eula, Barbara, and Fischl

A/N: @bellowdiamonduwu this ones for you lmao. I have two more venti sized orders in progress so after them I’ll start working on the larger trenta ones!

Hu Tao

The chaotic neutral in this situation

Tao gets into the game to get closer to you

Enjoys the overall vibe the game gives off

Doesn’t really care about you simping tbh, she knows you you love her and will tease you for it

Takes the scare tactics from the game and uses them on you. She once chased you around the house gigantic makeshift claws that looked like Lady D’s

“Hu Tao I swear to the gods, if you jumpscare me one more time I’ll have Zhongli duck tape you to the wall”

“You know you love me s/o~ plus, you got me into the game!”

Yanfei

Starts questioning the legality of everything

Only one who would kinda simp for Lady D

Although she questions everything, enjoys the game nonetheless

Enjoyed Lady Dimitrescu’s cutscenes as much as anyone would

Decided to make a legal case on everything not legally acceptable

“And that is why Ethan Winters should have sued Chris Redfield and Mother Miranda for reckless endangerment and Child abuse!”

“Fei, it’s just a game. Also they had no legal system there”

Ningguang

Who needs Lady Dimitrescu when you have Ningguang? You do

But, you managed to convince Ning to cosplay the big lady herself. She played the part perfectly

She doesn’t really have the time to play the game with you, but enjoys it nonetheless

Ning delivers Lady D’s lines so well sometimes you think she played her in the actual game

Doesn’t mind your simping either. We can all agree Ning is the best gf ever

“Rest while you can, because I will hunt you and I will break you!”

“Ning that was perfect! I swear you’re the literal embodiment of Lady Dimitrescu.

Eula

Gets the most jealous out of them all

She thought you were talking about a real person, and tried to swear vengeance on Lady D

Took a lot of convincing to play the game because of that. Agreed to play once you said her parents wouldn’t like it

Eula would lowkey simp for Heisenburg, but would never admit to it

Cleared Lady D’s castle in record time, she’s still not over you simping

“Eula for the last time, you can’t swear vengeance on someone who isn’t real honey”

“Vengeance will still be mine no mater, because she stole away the time you could spend with me!”

Barbara

May Barbatos be with her, the poor girl is terrified of the game

Always checking up on your mental state while playing. The baby part scarred her half to death

Although, Barbs respects Lady Dimitrescu for being so independent and such a strong mother

Felt bad for the daughters and somewhat resented Ethen for what he did to them

Another on who isn’t too bothered with you simping, but she will make sure you take breaks from the game and take care of yourself

“Hey Barbs look, I got all the achievements in the game!”

“All of them? Have you slept yet s/o? That’s it, I’m taking you to bed right now!”

Fishcl

She didn’t really really know what video games were at first. She claimed there weren’t any in her kingdom

Would prefer you not to simp, because it takes away your attention from her. So fischl sends Oz to lightly peck you when you’re simping too much

Likes the vibe and aesthetic the game gives off as well

Fischl now uses her bow they way the guns work in the game. As if she wasn’t a machine gun already

Secretly loves the game, but her long prinzessin like monologues won’t tell you that

“S/o, I demand you stop playing that wretched game and spend some time with me! It’s er, in the name of the Prinzessin of course!”

“Aww, if you wanted my affection you coulda just asked Fischl sweetie. Come here, we can cuddle if you want!”

Hello! Congratulations on 700 followers! :) 🎉🎉 For the event, may I request scenario 7 with Yoimiya?

— ⚡️ CATCHING UP

includes — yoimiya

prompts — scenario #7

a hug after not seeing the other for a long time

warnings — n/a

pronouns — they/them

inazuma was under lock and key for the most part — many of the occupants of the region trying desperately to get out, with only few actually succeeding. there was no one trying to get into inazuma... or at least none that you knew of.

however, when you fled before things turned sour, and left behind someone who meant the world to you — even the stupidest and down right dangerous ideas seemed like nothing.

the group that had snuck you through the copious amount of guards that lined the shores were nothing short of kind — pointing you in the direction of the firework shop, and wishing you luck and safe travels.

it had been years since you had last seen yoimiya — the girl who’s smile shone so bright that it reminded you of the most vibrant explosions of colours that she loved to make and share with others, and the girl who didn’t have a single bad or mean bone in her body. yoimiya was a loving soul who you couldn’t wait to wrap in your arms again.

the firework shop hadn’t been hard to pinpoint once you had walked into the town — with racks of the colourful wrapped explosions sitting on the porch, the sounds of bounce-like steps prancing around on the wood, and the sight of the bright hair you remembered all too well.

“hey! do you think i can have a discount on your biggest firework?” the smile was large on your face without her even noticing you at first — the feeling of happiness at just the presence of her doing the job for you.

yoimiya turned in confusion — a couple of fireworks held in her hands. as soon as she recognized you however mcyt the fireworks were long forgotten on the rack, and he body was rushing towards your own.

to the people of the street, it almost looked as if the girl had attacked you — with her body knocking into your own harshly, sending your body back and plummeting towards the cobblestone ground, but it was anything but malicious intent.

“oh my archons — y/n!” you could hear the smile in her tone. “i haven’t seen you in like- ever!” she giggled — her face lifting from your shoulder and looking down upon you with a grin.

smiles were shared for a few more moments, before yoimiya inevitably swooped back down and pulled you in for another hug. after going for years without any physical contact, let alone verbal, yoimiya was cashing in on all the time the two of you had missed together.

“well, i’m here now, right?” people passing by paid no mind to the scene anymore — simply chuckling before walking past as if they had seen nothing.

“yes you are — and you can be sure that you’re not leaving anytime soon,” yoimiya lifted herself onto her feet — her hand held down to you to help you up. “we’ve got a lot of catching up to do, don’t we?”

“just a bit,” yoimiya didn’t waste time before she sprung into action — telling you about everything that had happened in the past few months, filling you in on what’s been going on in her own life, and asking an endless amount of questions about how you had been.

i picked my ass up and told myself to write and get over my problems, so have at it

hihi! I was wondering if I could request drabble prompt 99 for Keqing please? Thank you so much c:

pairing: keqing x gn!reader

prompt: "dont look at me like that"

tags: modern au, office au

ah. she’s blushing.

the pretty pink that paints her cheeks are all that you can think of as you continue to stare unabashedly, leaving the work before you untouched despite the echoing clicks of tongues as your colleagues shake their head, sounding their disapproval.

your infatuation with keqing is well known in the office and it’s as clear as day to everyone except the purple-haired girl herself.

you wonder what could it be that your supervisor, beidou, is saying to her to make her blush like that. perhaps she’s brought up an old memory or a minor flaw in the otherwise perfect report keqing submitted. you wouldn’t know. you’re not only too far away to hear, you weren’t even close enough as a friend to either woman to be privy to such conversations.

yet you find your eyes widening as your mouth forms an ‘o’ in surprise as keqing starts striding in your direction. her fingers clenched tightly around a can of coffee that just so happens to be your favourite.

“here, this is for you,” keqing states bluntly as she holds out the can to you.

your mouth remains agape but no response forms in your mouth,

“h-hey, don’t look at me like that, will you?!” her voice spikes sharply as she presses the can against your cheek. the sudden coolness of metal evoking an involuntary shudder down your spine.

“thank you?” you manage to say, your words coming out more like a query. you accept the can with both hands as politely as you can, lowering your head slightly. it feels like fireworks are going off in your gut and the rapid thudding of your heartbeat in your ears were the sounds of pretty colours lighting up the sky.

you barely hear the giggles from your coworker in the cubicle beside you as keqing smiles at you. a small smile that’s more of a mere quirk at the ends of her lips.

perhaps your answering grin was too eager for keqing’s taste because as soon as you do, she’s scurrying away, pigtails swaying.

What’s happening to autistic people right now?

(Trigger warning for abuse, electroshock therapy, torture, and ableism.)

The US court has overturned the ban on shock devices being used against disabled students, predominantly autistic students in the US.

The shock device being legalized is called the graduated electronic decelerator (or GED). This is a torture device that is used to ‘correct’ autistic behaviors / symptoms. Autistic people are shocked for stimming, and for having meltdowns, ect. This device was made popular by a behavioral center (the Judge Rosenberg Center, specifically) that is infamous for its abuse and torture of autistic / disabled patients.

(Image ID: someone is holding their arm out and resting it on a table, with their sleeve rolled up. Attached to their arm are wires, which connect to a small cube device.)

This is what the device looks like. It sends electric shocks into the victim’s skin; the victim often being restrained and held against their will. This is torture. GEDs have been reported to cause intense psychological trauma, PTSD, and physical injuries.

In March of 2020, the FDA ruled for GEDs to be banned. (Although, of course, they were still illegally used at a number of places.) This ruling has recently been appealed, and today, the US court of appeals has re-regulated the law to stop the use of GED. Sounds great, right? It would be!

... If not for a huge loophole in the wording, which basically allows this torture to continue. This device is going to have continued use on autistic students in order to “correct their behavior.”

“So.... What can I do??”

Great question! You can:

Listen to and boost autistic voices to spread awareness

As-of now (July 7th), autistic activists are trying to get #StopTheShock trending on Twitter, so Tweet out the hashtag if you have Twitter

If you’re in the US, email / call your legislators

Sign this petition if you’re in the US

Follow this case and look out for updates

If Autism Speaks (known ableist hategroup) says anything about this, DO NOT BOOST IT

That’s all! Thank you. Reblogs are very appreciated!!

why can’t you hate me? (because i still love you) — kujou sara

pairing: kujou sara/gn!reader (romantic)

category: angst laugh out loud

a little summary: in which kujou sara is tasked with confiscating your vision. and maybe it wouldn’t have been so hard if your eyes looked at her with hate and not love.

note: @xiaophobic giggles sadly

kujou sara does not cry.

she never does, not even when her body hurts from the countless injuries, not even when she overhears the harsh commentary of other generals, not when the almighty shogun scolds her for another failed mission against the resistance.

she does not cry. never.

but now, the shogun’s words ring in her mind — bring me their head or their vision. the choice is yours — and for the first time in her life, she can feel her facade cracking a little bit. she’s crumbling, piece by piece, just by looking at you.

you, oh you, with your dirtied palms and knees roughly hitting the ground in front of her. you, with a knife pressed against your throat by the one that swore that she would protect you. the one that said she would give your life for you in a heartbeat. your face is dirty and the hydro vision glisting at your neck makes her heart hurt. just yet another sign of how the two of you could never work.

“vision hunt decree,” her voice rings, loud and clear. if one would listen closely, they would hear how her voice wares for a second and a split moment of pain flashed through her face, “in the name of the almighty shogun, hand over your vision!”

“same as always,” you breath out. she feels a sting at that comment. she looks into your eyes, her face devoid of any emotions. all she can see is a gentle smile gracing your lips and your eyes soft and looking at her with understanding. she hates this, she hates you and most of all she hates herself.

you still have a chance, she wants to say. you can still come back to our side. you can still go back and stand by my side. i’ll convince her, we’ll tell you you came back to your senses. please.

“the resistance never betrays it’s own,” you whisper, as if knowing what she’s thinking about. “take my vision, sara. don’t make it hurt anymore than it has to.”

there is no place for love on the battlefield. especially not for the traitors.

why can’t you hate me? she wants to scream. why don’t you cry? why aren’t you picking up a fight? her hand shakes a little bit. it cuts your throat just slightly and she panics, her breath hitching.

“i’ll still love you. i don’t blame you,” you say gently. you’re still smiling, she notices. why are you still smiling? it was inevitable. war was full of sacrifices and burned promises.

kujou sara does not cry. but a single tear rolls of her cheek when she hands over your vision to the shogun.

good job, she purrs, satisfied.

she hates herself even more.

extra bc im feeling funky;

the next time she meets you, you somehow look happier, even though your vision is not with you. she wants to hide from you, but a part of her makes her go up to you and meet your eyes.

“excuse me, do i know you?” you ask, tilting your head.

“no. i don’t think you do,” her throat closes up and she feels as if she’s falling.

you don’t remember her.
