Masterlist

FALLING IN LOVE:

it'll take some time to get him to warm up to you since he's not used to havig and keeping relationships, even platonically

He wants to know you as a friend first and falls in love with you later

when he falls in love, he ponders on what it is he's feeling first (for a long time)

he's an alchemist and hasn't spend much time in the company of others, so he doesn't understand feelings that well

would have no idea what's happening

doesn't know why he's feeling this awkward when he's around you

he has this desire to make everything right when you are there (he just wants to impress you)

Somebody else would probably have to tell him that these feelings are normal (and what they are) -it's Kaeya, who says in passing how obvious the alchemist's crush on you is and Albedo frantically looks around to check wether you've heard-

Suddenly, everything makes sense to him. How he always looks forward to seeing you, how he can't seem to concentrate or look away from you when you're there, how he worries when you're late more than he does with others

But now he has the problem of talking to you without immideatly telling you how he feels

He is scared that you'll reject him and will "test" some things (he'll try to fluster you and see if it works and wether it's because of him or the compliments). He will only try to confess when he is very sure you like him back

When he finally decides to do it, he plans his confession out and wants it to be perfect

he's still kind of scared that you'll reject him because he has no idea how romantic relationships work, even if he's sure you like him

he tries not to, but he will become quite distant mentally, (nothing very unusual, but now it's you on his mind instead of experiments (not that you know that)), even though the time he physically spends with you will be longer than before (slowly but surely, he doesn't want to rush you and make you question what he's doing)

CONFESSION:

For his confession, he plans. A lot.

he wants to make it special and wants you to remember it (to him, you only deserve the best)

he will probably plan some sort of picnic, either in Dragonspine (why? it's where he works, so he knows every spot there (also, he wants an excuse to give you his jacket when you're cold)) or near Mondstadt. He will have -a lot- some of his artificial flowers. Depending on how cold it is, he might modify them so that they emit some heat and they will be flying around and bringing you food

Now, as you're sitting there, he's hesitant, even though he knows you like him back

He's confused because the rational part of his mind knows this. But there's still something in him that is convinced you'll reject him for whatever reason.

In the end, when he does confess, you won't even know he'd been nervous

WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS LIKE:

Overall the sweetest and kindest boyfriend in the world

If you like them and you told him this before, expect to be randomly lifted by his flowers, especially if he sees that you are trying to get something from high up and can't reach it

He doesn't understand the point of teasing soemone and he would prefer if you didn't tease him too much either

He would probably want to show you a lot of his experiments (as long as you don't mind, of course), but wants you to stay back far enough so you won't get hurt.

Let's you do little experiments yourself, although they are only ones he knows nothing CAN go wrong

He loves giving you things, his gifts usually consist of his experiemnts, he'd rather give you something he spent his time on than just buy you something

Will ramble on an on about something interesting he found while the two of you are cuddling.

Probably apologizes for this for the first few times, until you tell him you don't mind and that you like his voice

He will also always listen to you, he thinks it's only fair since you listen to him as well

Always invites you to join him with his experiments and expeditions on Dragonspine, but never pressures you

Asks you to take an experienced adventurer with you unless you are one yourself if you ever go up pr down the mountain without him

Prefers if you go up together, though (also because he -unconciously- tries to impress you with his knowledge)

You are the only person that can stop him from overworking by offering cuddles (please make use of this power, even if it's only for 10 minutes)

He spends a lot of time with his experiments and will not come down from Dragonspine for weeks at a time, which is why he takes you with him. You remind him that there are other things than experimenting and he doesn't have to miss you when you're with him

If you can ever not go with him, he will write you letters that he will let the expeditions that bring him new materials deliver to you

Probably has a big, heated tent or cave somewhere on Dragonspine where the two of you sleep

If you're a knight and have to do paperwork, you do it either in there or in his lab cave

If you're an adventurer, you go out to clear comissions in and around Dragonspine and then come back to him

You also remind him that he has to go back to the city one in a while

When he is in Modstadt and not working in the Headquarters, he loves to spend all of his time with you (it's still not that much in the beginning, but he learns and wants to spend more time with you and on the relationship)

You go on dates and, no matter where you go or for how long, most end with him painting or sketching you (don't blame him, he thinks you're beautiful and wants to preserve that beauty on paper)

PHYSICAL AFFECTION:

I think Albedo is a morning person, he gets up early to start his experiments and tries his best not to wake you

He gives you a small peck on the forehead and then gets ready and leaves

He thinks you don't know, but sometimes him shuffling around wakes you up but, hey, it's not like you're complaining

Throughout the day, whenever he sees you, he will give you a short kiss or a peck on the cheek or he will hug for a short moment

Once he retires for the day (and if you're not already asleep) he will cuddle you and not let go

This is also when his kisses get longer and he holds you even closer

He won't let go of you for the whole night and if you have to stand up for whatever reason... good luck

He doesn't sleep that well without you anymore, which he sometimes sees as inconvenient but doesn't actually mind that much

ARGUMENTS:

Arguments between the two of you rarely happen and if they do, they're mostly about him overworking himself

Those usually get resolved just as quick since he doesn't like fighting with you and knows it will only steal time that can be spent on better things

He really really appreciates you being there for and with him every step of the way and if he falls in love with you, it's going to stay that way forever (pls don't leave him ever, he probably wouldn't be able to take it)

Both of you learn to communicate whenever you have a disagreement, and if it's not possible right away, you do so the next morning

I hope you like it! Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated

My ritual in pulling for Albedo is far too elaborate considering that I have him guaranteed

How close do their borders come to?

[id: a screenshot of a post from @transgenderer that reads: "god every time i see land back shit it drives me insane, its just like...i mean first of all its blatant ethnonationalist bullshit but even barring that it doesnt make any sense, its totally alienated from material reality, the *only* purpose is it serves as rhetoric is performative radicalism". end id]

2 tired to argue with them but yeah. block transgenderer. if you DONT know whats wrong with this post, "#landback" is about giving indigenous people autonomy over their lands and lives. as activist jesse wente says, "Land Back is really about the decision-making power. It’s about self-determination for our Peoples here that should include some access to the territories and resources in a more equitable fashion, and for us to have control over how that actually looks." (x) it is NOT about ethnonationalism or "doing a reverse colonialism", and saying that is buying into white fear of retribution rhetoric that, upon the instatement of equal rights, minorities will take revenge and try to oppress white people back. this is, first of all, not a good reason to continue a legacy of oppression and deny people autonomy, especially considering it has no basis in the reality of what activists are fighting for, and second of all it is LITERAL white supremacist/white nationalist rhetoric so this person has absolutely no business calling other people ethnonationalists.

literally this is inexcusable esp since 90% of landback resources begin with 50 paragraphs trying to assuage this very reaction so clearly this person is either trying to contribute to a conversation they are COMPLETELY uninformed about and have done no research on based on a kneejerk reaction to the slogan, OR they HAVE done research and their anti indigenous bias is so strong that literally every landback advocate telling them what the movement was actually about flew right over their head. it doesnt really matter to me honestly
