There are many records that tell of the beloved creator of Teyvat. There are many stories, many legends, and many myths. Many of them tell of their divine hands, their distinctive appearance in the eyes of mere mortals. Many speak of their blood that flows rivers of gold, eyes that hold the secrets of the world, hands and feet that create wherever they go.Β
Many tell of how Tevyat came to be, in the hands of the creator. How they formed it with a loving hand, a soft voice. Such came the existence of the adepti, the humans, the archons. So came the creation of life and death, and such came alive the world of Teyvat.Β

Okay but you know those rapid, smothery, little kisses that moms sometimes do to their babies?
That, but with Red, since deep down, he really is a big baby that needs all the lovesππ₯Ί
He just melts
So prison au- what ifβ¦.. natural disaster? I live where blizzards and tsunamis alike (plus earthquakes, avalanchesβ¦.) are a potential thing, but any kind- something that keeps at least a skeleton (heh) staff trapped there, power out, inmates increasingly agitated, possibly the usual rules are slowly slipping out the window for survival reasons- or because a lot of the staff abandoned the inmates there when the last minute warning came in. What would MC do? Would there be risk of a riot, or would the guys simply casually break out to get to her to make sure sheβs safe, get food, keep her warmβ¦.. etc π canβt help but imagine sheβs the type to try to stay and help even if the place is being abandoned in panic because criminals or not, theyβre people, dammit-
OOOOOOOOOo
Mc is one of very few staff members who stay behind. She knows a natural disaster could result in any number of serious injuries and there needs to be at least oneΒ medial professional on hand. Most guards and staff, knowing that a total blackout would cause a lot of cell doors to open, decide to save their skin and just make sure the front gates are bolted behind them- but she knows these are still people. Sheβs not going to leave them to die.
Sans: He thinks itβs very sweet that she wants to stay, very kind of her, proof that sheβs wonderful. But he disagrees entirely, he tries his damnedest to convince her to leave and might even get the closest heβs ever been to angry with her. Why should she care about the stupid prison population? Sheβs better than them. Sheβs an angel. Sheβs better than all of them. Theyβre all criminals, heβsΒ a criminal, she should be making sure sheβs safe and saving herself like the others. When itβs clear sheβs not going to do that, he settles for making sure sheβs safe, and puts himself in charge of resource management.
If he canβt get her out, heβll just show her exactly how intelligent and useful he is. A well-organised ideal partner whoβs calm in a disaster.Β
Red: Red is absolutely vitalΒ to the safety of any staff who chose to stay. They know it, he knows it... he already has experience with controlling the prison population after all, this is nothing new to him. In fact, heβs in an even better position than before, because there are no guards to intervene; if he or his gang attacks someone thereβs nothing to stop him from killing them. The prisoners already respect and fear him and now thatβs just increased tenfold. With the majority of the guards having self-evacuated, the remaining staff approach him and, sheepishly, request his help... like approaching a mob boss for protection.
If this situation had arisen in any other circumstance he wouldβve demanded a lot of nice things in return for their safety. A protection fee, if you will (old habits die hard). But... heβs acutely aware of Mcβs presence- heβs aware sheβs probably pretty frightened right now. Heβs aware that what he does in this situation could heavily, and maybe even permanently,Β affect her opinion of him. So, despite his deep-rooted instinct to take advantage of the moment... he agrees to protect the staff and keep order for free.
He might teasingly requestΒ βpayment kissesβ from her. But thatβs more for the sake of lightening the mood.
Skull: Mcβs personal bodyguard for the entire duration of the disaster.
Not wanting him trapped inside his room if something terrible happens, Mc lets him out, under the condition he behaves and does what she says. He never leaves her side; he looms over her shoulder, always within armβs reach of her and often holding onto her shirt like a lost child. If anyone comes too close or anything seems like it could be a threat he lashes out with his trademark brutality... heβs also very particular about her looking after herself, sharing his Sans-rationed food with her and bundling her up in blankets if she ever falls asleep. The other two skeletons dislike the amount of contact he gets & the obvious intensity of his feelings, but thereβs not much they can really do... itβs best to let him have what he needs. Besides- the longer heβs around her, the more lucid and reasonable he seems to get.
For a little while, Mc is the most powerful person in the entire prison without even realising. Sans defers to her, and he controls all the food and water and materials. Red defers to her, and he decides whether her and her colleagues live or die via his chokehold on the prisoners. And the only thing standing between the prison and the force of nature that is Skull is his love for her.

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

Is it bad that I just... I just wanna be some sort of mermaid that can go from the shallows to the deepest parts of the unexplored ocean? Like, I've looked at pictures of the ocean where you can't see the bottom and I just... I just really wanna be some sort of mermaid and go wherever I want.
Hey guys, thereβs been some drownings around where I live (thereβs always drownings in summer) because people going in the sea to escape the heat donβt know the safety procedures. So I thought Iβd make this mini-PSA on rip current safety.
Rip currents are invisible channels where the water being pushed onto shore is being sucked out again. It forms a small, deceptively fast-moving path of water that drags you out to sea- even in water that appears clear & calm a rip current can pull you out very quickly.
If you get caught in a rip and find yourself being pulled out of your depth,Β donβt swim directly against the current.Β Itβll exhaust you and panic you because the rip will always be stronger than you are. You need to swim parallel to the shoreline!Β Rip currents only take up a small part of the waterfront and donβt go all the way out to sea, only just off the beach into deep water. Swimming parallel to the shore allows you to swimΒ out of the current and back into the oncoming waves- theyβll push you back into shore again eventually.
Try not to lose hope when youβre swimming back to shore either; something that a lot of people donβt mention is that when youβre in the sea, itβs really hard to tell how quickly youβre swimming because everything looks the same. Trust me, youβre going faster than you think! Keep a steady pace and float on your back for a bit if you need to. The waves are working with you, youβre okay.
If youβre on a beach with a lifeguard (which you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE) you have to raise one hand over your head and shout that you need help. This should attract attention to you. Donβt swim at beaches with no lifeguards!
Weβre all desperate to escape this stupid heat, I know. Thanks climate change. But a lot of the time, people who drown do so in situations they couldβve escaped if they just had the knowledge. Look after yourself!!
Bird zoo AUWould the boys have met MC if they weren't at the zoo? And what about skull that lives on a mountain?
tehee
Sans: If he wasn't at the aviary, Sans would meet his darling just from living in his local forest. She has to pass through his woods in the morning to get to work, then at night to get home... though it's technically a very small patch of forest, he still has plenty of opportunities to attack her.
... But he doesn't attack. Of course. Instead, thief Sans is back! Keys, wallet, necklaces, shoes (how?!). Nothing is safe.
He plays harmless pranks by cover of night, most of which just involve stealing things from her then retreating quickly, grinning eerily from a distance until she approaches to try and get them back. The way he turns his head so slowly really freaks her out sometimes, he loves her spooked expressions... but she grows to appreciate his presence in the dark forest, the more time they spend together. He's a nuisance at worst and a welcome break from the shadows and tension at best. She knows that she's not alone, she knows he won't hurt her. And as soon as she sees the blue flash of his eyelight up in the trees, she knows she's got someone protecting her.
Red: Red fully intended to take their courtship slow. But one day, he saw her through her window, dancing and singing. And he was so lovestruck he decided fuck it, he'll just move in with her now.
... It's a perfectly natural step for a monster. Not so much for a human. But there's not really much you can do, when a huge harpy decides to make your home his home too. What is she gonna do, kick him out? His claws are the size of her head. She's got no choice but to make do.
He's... surprisingly chill, though. He gives her space when she wants it, and though he doesn't seem to be able to stop himself from preening her hair when she sits down, he shows his suitability as a mate by respecting her desire for alone time. She kinda enjoys waking up to a company in the house... she kinda enjoys how when she's sleepy, he'll lovingly play with her hair until she passes out. She likes how when she watches TV, he'll tuck a blanket-like wing over her. But most of all, she likes that since he considers her entire home his den, he's always tidying up the little things that she sometimes just can't handle.
... It kinda feels like... she accidentally adopted a massive, neat, adoring cat?
Skull: They 'met' while she was on a solo hiking trip through his territory in the mountains, and her relaxing solo hike turned into a nightmare when she realised a massive harpy was stalking her through the snow from afar. It gets even worse when she gets into an accident, becoming so badly injured she can't move... as darkness closes in around her, trapped on a cold mountain, she's convinced that this was why the harpy was following her. She's convinced she'll freeze to death overnight, and he'll pick apart her remains.
... But neither of those things happens.
Skull was following because he was crushing. Seeing her condition, he scoops her up. He finds some rudimentary shelter, a bush or a little cave to curl up in... and he nestles her close all night long. He keeps her tucked away in his thick warm feathers, where the ice can't bite her. She's even soothed into something of a sleep by the glow of his eyelight and sound of his soft, delighted cooing.
... By morning, he's able to escort her down the mountain, where he vanishes like a ghost as soon as other hikers appear. Mc wants to express her gratitude to him, though- as soon as she's recovered, she makes the same hike, this time with food gifts.
Skull is delighted she came back. Nobody has ever come back to him.
....What are the odds that I was listening to this EXACT song when I found this? π
Here Yuu is a girl!!I warned you! https://youtu.be/tPLodwT58nE Please turn on this music to feel the atmosphere
After Mostro Lounge closed, Yuu worked part-time washing dishes, floors, and the gym after hours. Usually there was a lot of work and after each shift, her strength left her at the very end of the work.
This job provided extra rest for the staff and students of the dorm, and Yuu received a small income to the meager budget from Principal Crowley. Seriously, what was this obnoxious irresponsible feathered chicken hoping for, thinking that one teenager would have enough money?! To maintain the dorm, which threatened to collapse with every rain or snowfall. Dust and dirt simply could not be removed with your hands, you needed cleaning products. The Yuu thanked all the gods that they knew and heard that their plumbing was working even with difficulty. But it worked.
After looking at their work, Yuu nodded to herself with satisfaction, making sure that everything was done perfectly. She was a very diligent and hardworking girl, it helped her out many times. Azul is quite a demanding boss, but he can be understood. To maintain a certain reputation of the institution and your own, you must always maintain a certain bar.
Yuu was even a little envious of all the purposeful young men around her. Even they had the money, and she's more like a homeless person who pretends not to be.
Exhaling heavily from not very good thoughts, Yuu suddenly drew attention to a small "scene" in the hall, where Azul introduced himself to the "unfortunate souls" when there was all this business with anemones and dishonest contracts.
The light from the aquarium illuminated the entire room, filling everything it touched with its deep dark colors. The gloom that reigned here seemed even more to give the false impression that everything here was deep under water.
Yuu suddenly felt very sad and heavy. She missed her home, all the things she was used to.
I wonder if the sailors ' wives were also pining when they went to sea.
Waiting for them to return, with the hope that it will never fade away. That their beloved sailor would return to them, and not be taken away by the sea like so many others.
Yuu looked around once more. There was no sound of voices from Octavinelle's living room, and it looked like the students had all gone to their rooms. The "trio of sea mafiosi," as Yuu liked to call them in her mind, sat in Azul's office and counted the cash registers.
The hall was completely empty. Grimm was sleeping peacefully in Onboro, and he was very docile when Yuu went off to work part-time. Because he always got some small goodies that Yuu could buy with her earned money.
It was a small thing, but it was enough for them.
Every movement in the hall seemed to echo. I wonder how beautiful it will be if the song is played here?
Azul said that she does not have a "beautiful voice", maybe he lied to himself to take Onboro? What use was the voice of a non-magical student to him when he could get a whole building to expand his business.
Yuu put down the mop and took off the rubber gloves from her hands and went to the stage.
How much did the sailors ' wives miss?How did they live with this feeling for most of their lives?
There were so many questions, but the answers hardly gave Yuu any peace of mind.
Licking her lips, Yuu took a deep breath and sang softly. Barely audible, whispering to her heart, so sad and bitter, as if she wanted to pour out all her sorrows from her soul.
The lines echoed softly in the silence of the hall.
Upon one summerβs morning
I carefully did stray
Down by the warls of wapping
Where I met a sailor gay...
Yuu's voice sounded so bitter, so sad and wistful, as if she herself was really waiting for her "sailor" who would never return. She wanted so much to relieve the tension, let it be a little quiet singing. It won't hurt anyone.
The singing was a low whisper that filled everything around, and the students who were sitting quietly in the living room heard someone singing and decided to check out who it could be at such an hour.
Yuu slowly and unhurriedly walked around the stage, remembering the lines of the song, until she stopped and continued singing. Surprisingly, the words came one after the other and formed the right lines.
Conversing with a young lass
Who seem'd to be in pain
Saying, William when you go
I fear you'll ne'er return again
The students decided to listen to this impromptu performance with all their might and took out their phones to capture this moment. They hid around the corner and quietly watched everything that was happening on the stage.
Yuu looked like a lonely siren in an empty hall, with a soft, gentle singing that made its way to the most secret places of their souls and hearts. She wasn't given a uniform because of the extra expenses, Yuu couldn't afford it. So she used a change of clothes.
A long cloth wrapped around the legs and tied with a piece of rope. Something like a homemade long skirt with a slit on one side. And a loose and obviously oversized white shirt. Although it was hardly "white", the fabric was worn and apparently part of the uniform of one of the students. Yuu was not buttoning her neck, and thus her defined collarbone was exposed and exposed, as if it was a clue for Cupid where exactly to shoot.
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I distain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my Jolly sailor bold
Floyd, who was already terribly bored with finishing all this routine, every day the same thing became terribly uninteresting. He visibly perked up when he heard an extraneous sound and listened when he heard singing. It was much more interesting than counting all these numbers and adding up pieces of paper. This didn't usually happen in the evenings.
- Hmmmmm?Do you hear that, too? Floyd asked, glancing back at the office door. It was more interesting to him than the current case, and he closed his eyes and listened to the words of the song. A song about a sailor? It was something interesting.
Jade and Azul looked at each other, at first not understanding what he was talking about, and followed his example and listened.
Did someone.... sing?Now?
Yuu takes a deep breath. Unaccustomed to it, she is short of air and her breathing is a little erratic from time to time.She had to take breaks of a few seconds to catch her breath. Otherwise, my head would start spinning.
The students held their breath as they watched her every move. The way she moved her arms and the way she danced lightly on stage.
She lured them like a siren.
Lured and unknowingly drowned these unfortunate viewers.
His hair hangs in ringlets
His eyes as black as gold
My happiness attend him
Where ever he may go
Floyd listens with pleasure.
- What a beautiful voice~ I wish I could listen to him more often. Floyd chuckled, already seeing the look in Azul Madola's eyes. It was getting more and more interesting. The octopus definitely already has an idea how to turn all this into its own benefit and profit.
Azul gets up from his chair and heads for the exit. As always, he was determined and already thought of different options for the best outcome in his favor.
"Jade, Floyd, we need to get that voice!"!
"Whatever you say," the twins smiled, smug and predatory. They were awfully fond of such" hunts " for Azul. They quietly slipped out of the office and hid and decided to watch.
What was their surprise when they saw that the non-magical student was a real siren of legends on their stage. They barely restrained Floyd, who immediately wanted to destroy everything so that he could run to Yuu and squeeze her.
Azoul suddenly had the idea that he wanted to decorate this beautiful neck with a necklace. No, seriously. She looked amazing. So simple and so mesmerizing. It had its own charm and charm. If only he could persuade her to sing just for him. I wonder if she would agree.
Yuu continued to sing, trying to relieve all the tension that had been drowning in her for so long. All these emotions, all these feelings that had been bothering her for a very long time.
It seemed to her that she was all alone, and her singing could not be heard by others. How surprised she would be that most of the dorm is Octavinel, and Azul and the Twins are hiding to hear the singing through.
After all, they are gentlemen, they will not rudely interrupt such a performance. And just listen quietly, and write it down on a dictaphone.
Azul noticed his students and heard their low whispers.
"Damn it, she's got a voice like a siren, I'd follow him to the bottom of the ocean." - quietly whispered one student checking whether the sound recording is on the phone.
- I've never heard this song, I wonder how she knows it? Another student stared at Yuu as if she were an opera singer.
"It gives me the creeps." Do you think we can persuade her to sing again?
Azul smiled ominously.
Oh, how close his students were to his idea. To lose such an opportunity of profit would be the most terrible crime! But still, even for the refined taste of Azul...
this song..
She was so beautiful and so sad.
Let's be honest greedy octopus, you would have sworn that you have at least 8 possible scenarios where Yuu would sing just for you. His personal songbird without a cage. Free and inconspicuous.
Oh, how he wanted that voice. It turns out that so many unknown songs were hidden in this cute head!So much money could be made out of it!Why hadn't he thought of it before?!
Judging by the fact that Yuu had taken a short break, it was possible to guess that the song was coming to an end.
If only she could be persuaded!!Just agree with Yuu and Azul will arrange for you the most beautiful dress and jewelry that he can afford, just to turn you into the pearl of this place!!
Azul would surely come up with a whole performance, would pick up an outfit for each performance. Every detail, every little thing. I'd even get Wil to give me some advice!
But damn it, knowing her character, she would stubbornly refuse.
She didn't need all this attention, all this gossip and gossip. All this glory and praise. She just wanted a peaceful life in a strange place with a bunch of rude, smug boys.
Suddenly, one of the students lost his footing and stumbled, trying to get closer and shoot a better video, but this caused only a small noise. She didn't need all this attention, all this gossip and gossip. All this glory and praise. She just wanted a peaceful life in a strange place with a bunch of rude, smug boys.
Suddenly, one of the students lost his footing and stumbled, trying to get closer and shoot a better video, but this caused only a small noise. The Octavinel trio mentally cursed this poor fellow in every way they knew.
He himself understood that his life would not be as easy as before. The next couple of days for sure. The others could only sympathize with him.
Hearing a strange noise, Yuu shuddered and stopped singing. She wanted to know where the noise was coming from and make sure it wasn't dangerous.
Noticing the confused students who waved their hands and raised their hats in greeting, Yuu quickly turned pale with horror. Did they hear her??Have you heard her all this time??
And then she saw Azul and the twins.
Azul could have sworn that she was dead white, her face as red as years of wine. I wonder if you could touch her rosy cheeks, what would the taste be like?
Azul, you're thinking the wrong thing. He was talking to himself, not understanding what had suddenly come over him.
It's just a little singing. Maybe it was her attitude toward him. She acknowledged and praised his efforts, his intelligence and work.
Did Cupid miss an arrow in one of his three hearts? (A moment of abstraction. Octopuses have three hearts. one (the main one) drives the blue blood all over the body, and the other two-the gill-push the blood through the gills)
Yuu was confused and desperate to think of an escape route, and she took off and ran out of the hall.
This development of events was definitely not foreseen by Azul.
Did she run away? Just ran away from them?She absolutely didn't want to even stay here?What if she stopped working here?
Although it was naive to think that it would help her.
- Floyd..bring the young lady to my office. And please be gentle with her. We don't want her singing voice to be lost. Azul asked the twin matter-of-factly, knowing that Floyd was only a fraction of a second away from rushing after her.
Still hunting, there was any part of it in the business.
"All right," Floyd said cheerfully and ominously, and immediately disappeared after Yuu.
Azul will do everything to get this opportunity and this voice.
Only, did he really want this pearl to be shown to others, and not just become his own?
I'm mostly just on here when I'm bored, donβt mind me β‘ I am 18 and older, so donβt panic
