How the Inazuma girls listen to you when you ramble

══════════✧══════════

A/N: back from the dead momentarily!! These are slightly more analytical in terms of character as opposed to the Liyue Version, but I still hope you enjoy!

WARNING(S):

TAG(S): Slight angst??

CHARACTER(S): Ayaka, Yoimiya, Yae, Kokomi, Sara, Baal, Kazari

══════════✧══════════

『 AYAKA 』 Your company is seldom for the Shirasagi Himegimi, as such, when there is a moment in where you can freely speak to Ayaka she latches onto your every word, almost afraid that if she doesn't pay attention you may flutter away, never wanting to see her again. Her conduct never wavers, her shoulders never slouched, you have her full attention so long as the world allows it. She's more of a listener, and a good one at that.

❝I'm at ease to see you unscathed.❞

『 YOIMIYA 』 Always energetic, never quiet. Yoimiya is gleeful to indulge in conversation no matter how long it may be. She'd gladly push aside previous tasks if it means she can talk to you and hear you ramble.. though.. do forgive her, but Yoimiya sometimes has the habit of speaking over you due to her own excitement, all to keep the conversation rolling is all.

❝Wow it's great that you managed to dodge those pesky trees! Oh that reminds me of this one time—❞

『 YAE 』 No matter what words come out of your mouth, no matter the tone, Yae never fails to maintain the same courteous smile and body language; But her eyes, her eyes are rich with affection and when they crinkle ever so slightly you know, you know you have her enchanted. She listens and beckons you to keep rambling, this is the appreciation—the affection that she's been conditioned to conceal— finally being displayed.

❝My, if this is what transpires when we are apart then maybe I should find a way to keep you here..❞

『 KOKOMI 』 Despite the vastness of her being, and her insurmountable eloquence, socializing has never been Kokomi's forté. She finds catharsis behind mountains of literature and runny ink. She views social interaction as a battlefield of invisible trip wires. She's content with listening to you in pure silence, however the illustration of a battlefield still yields her mind, but with you.. it becomes a mere playful engagement.

❝It goes without saying, thunder and lightning cannot stop you Comrade!❞

『 SARA 』 Sara is the calm before the storm personified. Always tense, always silent. You wonder if she's listening, she's truly unreadable; liken to worn out pages within an unnamed diary. A cage unwilling to open. But inside, a creature, so tense, so silent, yet it hears you. It sings in response, almost desperate. But it hears you. She hears you. She is listening.

❝I see, let that transgression not delay your objective.❞

『 BAAL 』 You walk upon pins and needles when in her presence, this will never change. The words you speak will be filtered to her preference and this will never change. If it serves as a consolation she is listening to you—of course she is, because she allowed you to, you only speak because she allows you. This will never change.

❝You need not fear thunder and lightning, you need only fear its conductor.❞

『 KAZARI 』 Kazari ponders often, worries often. Why do you speak to her in the first place? She is filth condensed, a flickering rotting specimen soon to perish once the arrival of the Destined One makes way. She knows this, she is aware. But when you unravel your latest adventure to her, Kazari cannot help but wish to stay, Is that selfish? Is it selfish that she wishes to hear about your latest fixation? She ponders, what would her best friend say. she worries, for herself—you. What will you do when she's gone? Who will be there to hear you?

❝May we meet again.. for my heart prays for us a happy ending.❞

How the Liyue girls listen to you when you ramble

A/N: This is purely self indulgent fndbebrj. This post was inspired by Keikaminarii on Tiktok!

WARNING(S): None!

TAG(S): Fluff :)

CHARACTER(S): Ganyu, Keqing, Ningguang, Beidou, Hu Tao, Yanfei, Xinyan, Xiangling

══════════✧══════════

『 GANYU 』 Listens so intently as if she has all the time in the world. She constantly keeps her eyes on you whilst writing out the work she was intented to do. Nevertheless she will not take her eyes off of you until you've finished. Even then she gleefully awaits the next topic of discussion. She'll occasionally comment but mostly just likes to listen.

❝I'm happy you made it out without a scratch!❞

『 KEQING 』 Doesn't look at you when you talk, as the Yuheng she's always working herself to the point of exhaustion, she's awfully quiet but she is listening. A voice in her head is wondering if you feel a sense of disinterest radiating off of her, that'd explain why you stopped talking about your recent commission you'd completed. She loves hearing about your day, so she speaks up rather quickly to clear any misunderstanding.

❝I'm listening still, so what did you do next? How did you escape that situation?❞

『 NINGGUANG 』 Ningguang is another busy person with much to do, however she understands the importance of spending moments with a loved one. And so, she invites you to her office so she can hear about your week. She finds it rather easy to talk, listen, and work so she's quick to comment a lot.

❝Expertly thought out strategy! I'd expect nothing less.❞

『 BEIDOU 』 All of her attention is on you, even her bottle of rum is long forgotten as she peers closer to hear your tale. Her eyes sparkle with intense wonder. No one can distract her when she's in this state, it's almost as though she's hypnotized. She's the type to nod along with what you're saying and gleam a large grin at the end of your story.

❝Haha! If you're willing to trade tactics we could both learn a thing or two.❞

『 HU TAO 』 She's the type to constantly comment. "No way!" "Really?" "And then what?" Are usually the comments that leave her mouth. Despite the repetition her eyes never leave yours until you've finished talking, you might think that she doesn't care and just says the same thing so you'll be satisfied, however that's far from the truth, and she will make that apparent.

❝Say.. do you remember where you annihilated that treasure horder? No reason!❞

『 YANFEI 』 Likes to speed through her day whilst talking with you, she'll link pinkies with you to let you know that she's still listening despite not looking at you. Sometimes she'll trail off and lose focus of what you're saying, she doesn't mean to but she also has a lot on her plate at all times.

❝Hm? Oh yes I'm still with you! .. but could you repeat that last part?❞

『 XINYAN 』 Is definitely the type to nod along at each word you're saying. She wants to make you feel heard no matter what. She'll probably play with the strings of her guitar, cup her face, and maybe even sway as she's listening to you. With you she's never bored, she always finds everything you say so interesting.

❝That'll teach them to mess with ya!❞

『 XIANGLING 』 Xiangling likes to clean up Wanmin whilst hearing you ramble, bonus points if she can feed you between talking. She likes to fidget with your hands whilst you talk about your day, it never fails to bring a smile to her face. At some intervals you may notice her suddenly lose attention, don't worry she tends to get sidetracked a bit more than she'd like to admit.

❝Ah sorry! I was just wondering if you'd like some dinner?❞

It was during a run for PE class (let's just say I wasn't exactly "at the top of the ranks") and was lagging a bit behind. The teacher yelled something about me going faster, and without missing a beat, I yelled back: "I'm trying my best here, woman!"

Luckily she took it in good stride and just laughed. 😅

Somewhere between Bennett — Chongyun 😭 take your pick

Cat Dad | Bucky Barnes

Warnings : None! (Aside from the fact this is quite shit and very short)

Tags : Fluff!

I thought of doing something Marvel related and small <(￣︶￣)/✧

═════════════════════

This was a bad idea.

Bringing a cat home was never a part of your plan, your schedule was consistently mundane. Wake up, go to work, go home, and hope your metal armed boyfriend comes back in one piece. It had only been a month since you moved into an apartment in Brooklyn. Pay was sustainable, view was nice, and it didn't have a superfluous amount of cat hair everywhere. Well, not at first.

You had to do something before Bucky came home.

"This is for your own good! You smell like Bucky's laundry!" The cat was in desperate need for a bath, but wouldn't budge. It let out an ungodly sound before fidgeting out of your grasp, it found refuge in said laundry pile just outside your shared bathroom. It hissed in response before kneading into your boyfriends dirty clothes like bread dough.

"You know you're really not helping you stinky little shit." You rubbed your eyes so many times you wondered how they weren't popping out of their sockets.

As if some higher being wanted to make your day worse because why not? A sound of knocking rang through your walls.

Thin walls huh.

"It's me!"

"I knew from the loud ass knocking!" You quickly picked up the little furball and rushed to the bathroom, you hid the cat in the bath before you headed out to greet Bucky.

Until you saw that the cat had shat on his laundry and pissed on the floor.

"oh fuck me with a broomstick-" You sighed.

"Plum? Can you let me in? I lost my key."

"in a minute!" You grabbed some toilet paper, plastic bag and a mop, not without flipping off the cat as you passed by and cleaned up its mess.

"Baby?" You could tell Bucky was growing impatient from the amount of grumbling you heard behind the door.

"In a minute!" You wrapped up the plastic bag and made a beeline to hide it in a trash can.

But when you turned around you did not expect to see your lover leaning on the doorframe of your shared bathroom with a sleeping cat in his arms.

"Buck-"

"Shh- in a minute." He flashed a soft smile as he cradled the cat in his arms with such softness you felt your lips rise to a grin. He approached you and gave you a gentle kiss on the lips, the type of kiss that leaves with your eyes closed just a bit longer.

"We can keep em if you want." Bucky mused as he swayed with the cat securely in his arms.

"We can?"

"Of course, Doll, we can have a new member of the family." He let out a chuckle. Bucky was beyond handsome, and the sunlight that painted along his defined face made him look twice as good.

"So...." He glanced past you at the trash can you had stuffed. "You shitting in bags now or?"

"Shut up James."

Arguments with the Hashira

《I only did *some* of the Pillars!》

《The Pillars x S/O HCs | Arguing》

《Giyuu Tomioka》

— Giyuu is not going to know how to act when you two have a genuine heated argument, if he's angry he's going to try his best to conceal his feelings which makes the situation much worse as you two continue on. He'd probably snap depending on how serious the conversation is.

— Now here's the thing, if you were the one in the right it's going to take a while for him to admit and apologize, however if you two stop talking you'll catch him staring at you like a lost puppy. He doesn't know how to convey his feelings and opinions very well but he'll sure as hell try if you two haven't talked in days.

— "I'm sorry for what I said.. I shouldn't have yelled like that..."

— Now if he was the one in the right then this is going to go very differently, he'll wait for you to apologize to him. Often giving you the cold shoulder and waiting for you to be vocal, you were the one in the wrong- he shouldn't be the first to apologize after your argument, he'll still say sorry for getting vocal though.

— "I forgive you.. I'm sorry as well."

— If you both were in the wrong he'd actually bring it up rather fast. He wants this to be resolved as quickly as possible.

— "We should move on from this.. please."

— when you two make up he's much happier, he'll hold your hand more often and give you more physical affection if need be. 

《Shinobu Kocho》

— Shinobu has you wrapped around a finger, whatever insult you throw at her due to your anger, or whatever thing you have to say to the point where you're yelling, she'll reply with a refute at every given chance. She's going to try and deal with the argument calmly albeit if you anger her she's going to reply much colder, she won't really yell but she will be spiteful in a way. You can already see the veins and her twisted smile beginning to show. It gets so scary if you argue for a while. She doesn't need to shout to get her point across.

— The sisters are gonna be sad when you two argue :(

— If you were right, Shinobu wouldn't wait around for so long, she'd want to apologize when you've calmed down and she's managed her feelings and has them in check. She'd approach you with a calm demeanor and wouldn't fake up a grin, she's wearing a serious expression on her face. She'd grab your hands and kiss your knuckles, then smile at you sweetly.

— "I'm sorry for angering you Love, I was wrong for what I said.. please forgive me."

— If you're wrong she's going to mock you a little bit, but then eventually demand an apology from you. She is NOT going to wait longer than a day or two, it'd irritate her to no end if you didn't apologize for longer than that. You'd have to muster up a damn good apology and give her an immense amount of affection to ease her mood. When you do she's all smiles and laughter and immediately goes back to teasing you.

— "Fine! I forgive you.. couldn't stay away could you?"

— If the two of you are both in the wrong she's going to turn the argument into a joke and call you as well as herself out on it. Would probably resort to teasing you and kissing you to change the atmosphere. Commence smooth talking and her beginning to flirt with you.

— "We're both wrong silly, lets move on please. I love you~"

《Kyojurou Rengoku》

— I mean– Kyojurou yells regardless? He'd yell at you but you can tell his tone of voice is calm, and still holds lots of enthusiasm depite the situation. Either he ends the argument himself, or you end it because you get tired of his hard-headedness. I don't think he has it in him to get genuinely mad at you, he just hopes he can get his point across without resorting to anger or snarky comments and insults. (Not like he has any of that- he's far too wholesome.)

— If you were right then he'll probably apologize on the spot, there's no doubt in my mind that Kyojurou would apologize first and without hesitance. If he's wrong then he's wrong, he isn't waiting around and will initiate a conversation with you the moment he wants to speak his feelings. He can't handle not talking to you for longer than a day.

— He'd miss you so much :(

— "I'm so sorry my Dear! I was wrong and I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive me! I love you so much!" 

— He's saying that with such a warm smile, he takes you in a needy hug and cuddles you without even hearing your response. He just wants to be near you and have you stroke his hair. 

— If you were wrong he's telling you on the spot, "YOU'RE WRONG BUT I STILL LOVE YOU–" 

— He'd wait so calmly for you to apologize, you'd often catch him with his arms folded and his foot tapping the floor, he's beaming his signature smile and patiently waits for you to approach him. He looks like a golden retriever with the way he acts. If you're still upset with him and avoid him he's going to be hurt!

— "Haha! It's alright my Love! I forgave you a long time ago!"

— He's just excited to have you back, he takes you out that day, he takes you to dinner and constantly shows you off to any bystander the two of you come in contact with. He'll be locking arms with you and compliments you the entire trip.

— If you're both wrong he's going to be like Shinobu and attempt to ease the mood, he'd nod along and eventually hug you.

— "What were we even fighting for?! We're better than this!"

《Mitsuri Kanroji》

— STOP. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THE BABY CRY. I believe Mitsuri would tear up and try and talk back through her sobs, a heated argument isn't going to last long with her because you're going to be left comforting her or watching her walk out, holding herself. She'd be left in her estate, crying in her room until she had to leave. She's not even mad at you, the entire time all she wanted to do was kiss your lips and ask for you to tell her everything calmly. She actually didn't know what you were getting mad for.

— If she were to be mad she could man handle you so easily lmao

— Iguro HATES you if you make her cry, he'd try and throw hands SO quick! It'd be Mitsuri that would stop him despite the fact she's still sad. Even if the two of you aren't speaking she'd still make sure Iguro left you alone and gave you space.

— If you were right she's apologizing then and there, enveloping you in a tight warm hug as she cries on your chest. She wouldn't let go until you accept her apology and hug her back. If you don't accept her apology she's going to get so sad and walk out. If you do then she's kissing you for a good minute or two, she was so scared!

— "I'm so sorry for what I did! I won't do it again I promise!"

— Immediately wants to have a nap with you and cuddle! She's just so happy she can be in your arms again, expect her to whisper sweet nothings in your ear and pepper your neck with kisses.

— If you were wrong she's going to tell you and explain to you as eloquently as possible, no doubt she'd probably stutter once or twice but it's the effort that matters most! Again, I can't imagine her being extremely angry, she just wants this nightmare to end. She'd be impatient for an apology, constantly waiting for you to go up to her and just say sorry.

— "It's okay! I'll love you no matter what! You just get upset sometimes and that's okay."

— You'd probably be the one to realize if you're both wrong, she's quick to apologize but would deeply appreciate if the two of you discussed and settled your differences.

— "I'm so glad we made up! It felt like a fever dream!"

《Muichiro Tokito》

— Starting an argument with Muichiro is not going to work out in your favor, Muichiro can barely remember what bird just flew by, he's definitely not going to be very good at focusing on what you're saying when his head is too busy in the clouds. However if you do manage to get him to focus he's going to be anything but happy. He's actually rather serious and cold in response if you're shouting at him. He wouldn't exactly shout but he would curse a bit.

— If you're the one at fault, he's going to tell you right away, he's forward with what he says and how he says it, you can notice the subtle fumes of rage in his tone of voice. He doesn't really care for an apology, he just wants you to acknowledge what you said was wrong of you and go on with his day. He sees no reason in dragging anything out so when he speaks his mind he's walking away so you can process everything.

— "You need to sort yourself out.. I know you're upset but so am I."

— Now if he was the one at fault, you'd have to tell him and explain to him why that is. And when he realizes, he's not really apologizing but more so promising you that he'll never say or do the thing that upset you in the first place. He IS sorry though but expresses himself differently. He's trying.

— "I realize what I said was insensitive... I promise I won't speak that way again.."

— If you're both in the wrong you'd be the one to tell him that, it's not as if he thinks he's always right, he just disagrees with some things which sometimes can't be helped. He means well but can't show it half the time. 

— "Let's not fight anymore okay?"

《Tengen Uzui, Makio, Suma, Hinatsuru》

— It's not everyday you have an argument that reaches everybody, it would be so tense you'd catch yourself holding in the air within your lungs, scared at the idea of exhaling being your downfall. Tengen never wants to raise his voice at you, but sometimes even his emotions get the better of him and he can't help it. He cares so much about you but arguments tend to leave everything messy.

— Suma is tearing up when the argument starts, she holds onto you and whispers softly in your ear, begging you to calm down and not yell. Telling you that everyone was getting upset. She didn't want a bigger fight to start, she just wanted everyone to get along.

— Hinatsuru treats this argument as something that will eventually pass, she is so confident that this argument will be settled within the week. However this doesn't stop her from trying to calm you and everyone else down, she's the calmest one in the situation and would rather speak about your problems without the use of shouting or getting angry.

— Makio on the other hand, wants to hit you so bad for even starting an argument, this indeed worsens the matter terribly, Hinatsuru and Suma would hold Makio back so she didn't attack you. She loves you deeply, but this behaviour could wreck your relationship and that leaves her so scared. And the fact she was having those thoughts didn't sit right with her, more than ever she really just wants to hold you securely and fix this with a kiss.

— If you're the one in the wrong- welp, they are going to tell you without a moment of hesitation. You can't get away either as they'd sit you down until you apologize and tell them what's wrong without having to start fights.

— Makio is gonna slap you but make up for it later 

— "It's alright my girl- it happens to the best of us." Tengen rubs circles on your hands. Happy to have resolved the issue.

— Hinatsuru kisses your cheek and rubs your back, she's so proud of you for admitting your fault and being clear with everybody. "You're doing so well Baby, I'm so proud of you."

— Suma gets so soft, she'll give you lots of affection and will hug you for a while. She's glad you and Makio didn't harm one another and just wants to bask in the comfort of your embrace. 

— "Well- I'm sorry too.. I was just upset.." Makio turns away for a moment before she reaches her hand out and holds yours. She admits to being quite brash about the whole thing, she cares but has a different way of showing it is all! They all want to kiss you so bad.

— Now, if you were the one in the right, they're going to make up for it in a flash. Starting with Suma who gets teary eyed whilst bowing in shame, she's holding onto the hem of Tengen's clothes for a sense of comfort. Tengen is bowing also, with flowers in his hand.

— Hinatsuru is lowkey holding down Makio so she's bowing as well, however in her free hand Hinatsuru has a plate of your favorite treat "Please forgive us for not listening to everything you had to say, we're sorry."

— Makio brought nothing lmao- in the end though she goes out of her way to buy you a new blade. "I'm sorry for hitting you..."

— When you're ALL in the wrong Tengen is the one to bring up how lame it is you're all fighting in the first place. 

— "My girls.. this isn't FLAMBOYANT! We have to get over this!"

— When you all settle your differences you have a night out eating dinner and having fun in each others company. You're at peace..

— They're probably gonna bed you when you get home

This isn't a post but more of a lil thing I've noticed in a lot of Genshin fics.

"Y/N's cheeks turned/blushed red." And any other variation of that sentence shows you that when the author wrote their fic they had a light skinned Y/N in mind. Now I'm not saying that if you're coloured your cheeks can't go red, but for a lot of us POC that doesn't happen.

This isn't by any means a rant I just find it real funny when I read sentences like that because I know my ass does not blush red 💀
