another attempt to make Fontaine skins for my boys
this is the last thing i ever pinned to my dark academia board and i can't ever add anything else. what else is there to say
no you don't understand how fucked up scaraether praise kink is. because yes for every creature so insecure deep down praise kink is a bittersweet trope. but with them it's absolutely delicious because it's a straight up worship for a god who could not ascend but wanted to.
because aether calling himself a follower is absolutely fucked up. because he is the one who brought this god down and changed the trajectory of his life and then took and loved with his whole heart. because he knows the irony of it and smirks. because even then the praise he gives is still true. because he took wanderer's words about hypasia being honored to be a follower and ran with it and threw it back at the wanderer saying that he, the sweetheart of teyvat, is honored by the god of arcane wisdom's mere presence. because there's a playfulness to his tone when he says it and it kills wanderer. because aether knows how fucked up it is for the hero of teyvat to foster a fallen cruel god and then start cherishing them for the very things they fought against.
because in the end of the day the wanderer gets himself someone who reveres his every touch and word. because fate played a cruel joke, so it wasn't just anyone, but the very person who had enough might to easily bring him down again if he wanted to. but every time he chooses another path.
i'm going to scream.
can we please appreciate their t-shirt though holy

Did you guys know the “Sickos” artist made a Sicko thats a WGA screenwriter on strike (said comic artist is a The Onion satirist comic artist and his name is Stan Kelly)
And honestly? What a mood. Haha YES indeed.
They're going to tell you qphilza 'lived on hardcore all his life cautious beyond all reason' minecraft saw qmissa roll their son's bike off a cliff completely armorless and survive. and was normal about it. That's the devil talking
shout out to my folks with insomnia & depression & delayed sleep phase disorder & sleep apnea & disabilities & other sleep disorders diagnosed, undiagnosed, and just my plain old night owls & night shift workers!! we r so fucking cool & exist every day in a society not made for us at all. and NONE of us are lazy bums or bad people for staying up late & sleeping in till noon or two or whatever whenever you get up!! no matter what anyone says!! you’re incredible and i love you!!!
while writing the previous post, i realised that lumine and aether's relationships are even sadder because both siblings would make themselves not to get attached to anyone and focus their attention only on their sibling. even if they can revisit worlds, still, the time will pass, and their friends will fall.
this is probably a mindset they would have to contain themselves in.
an immortal being might want to have a just as immortal companion by their side, but life played a cruel joke making them alien travelers. they do have a companion, their sibling, but they have no one but them. even if it isn't true, they have to remember it.
i never felt the appeal of characters marrying or, god forbid, having children, all of my brain worms stay in unofficial non-familial relationships, but scaraether? i want them to marry and have a family, many many many years since they expressed non-hostile interest in each other.
two wandering souls deserve some peace and quiet. after an endless search for one's family, after losing their darling ones and surviving perceived betrayals, after so many lonely painful centuries, that would be so nice for them to have a peaceful home.
the wanderer, who has dealt with taking care of a child, but lost him to a cruel fate? this may be hard, but this will become a part of a healing process. he can afford such affection and attachment now. mentally, that would signify he grew enough. he didn't stack in a state of perpetual suffering and trauma, but had enough support and strength to move on.
aether already has some experience of dealing with a kid - that we know of. teyvat changed everything for a traveling alien that never was supposed to get attached to any of the worlds for the siblings would've left them anyway. but the bonds and connections formed themselves whether aether wanted it or not. and settling down with another immortal would also indicate growth. no matter what we will see in the future, his relationships with lumine are irreversibly damaged. now, he doesn't need to search constantly. he doesn't need to live in a constant expectation he will have to travel further and severe all connections.
aether and wanderer both decide they grew enough and can afford this choice.
and then there will be a domestic slice of life, with the wanderer teaching a kid how to forge swords, with aether teaching them to fight, with them three so get used to travelling. the kid would have a life so rich with experiences and new acquaintances. there will be aunties paimon and nahida, and gods, and adepti, and talking animals, humans of all walks of life. maybe, there will be lumine. the kid's first flight. aether telling all the stories of the worlds he abandoned to eventually come to teyvat and have this life.
they both didn't have parents in a common understanding of it. the kid will be so loved and cherished and offered so much understanding and patience.
i just try not to think the child will probably be a mortal.
they're literally the sun and the moon. *throws up violently*
if genital selection becomes the next big thing in RPGs we need to push beyond a binary application of “penis” and “vulva” (even if there are additional options past that binary gate) and make a single slider. x and y axis type of thing like chusing the depth and width of your chin.
You should have to sculpt it yourself like Spore
You should be able to scan it in with your webcam like those old NBA games
baldur's gate 5: please scan your cock now
me, intent on making the sex scenes into short horror films: yeah i promise this novelty Three Stooges mug is my cock
get out of the summoning circle you stupid little fruit
So this was the unanswered messages in my ask box a couple of days ago:
and this is the unanswered messages in my ask box today,
and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has said such nice things about the season, and I'm sorry to everyone who had emotions they weren't expecting, and I'm impressed that so many of you have theories and don't plan to answer, validate or really even comment on any of them, but mostly I'm just sorry because I probably won't read whatever you've sent, not because I don't want to but because if I was doing nothing but reading Tumblr asks as a full time job I still wouldn't catch up with the thousands of asks coming in.
I'm glad you care.
