a sea of flesh but it was never enough and we would steal each other's grief. we were thin but we were thick as thieves. i could still hear them calling to me. come back to me. you've got to hold me down, hold me back. because i might slip away, slip into the past.

no homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, harassment etc. i do not reblog callouts unless the individual is genuinely harmful (i.e. behaviour related to those listed), rather than being called out for personal grievances. you are welcome to block the tag 'callout /' for this purpose. no minors.

i'd appreciate it if you didn't use heavy metaphors or poetry in our threads. absolutely no hate or anything, i just find it very difficult to understand what the characters are actually doing in this writing style. i also ask that you don't use real life face claims in our threads; i write characters who do not have irl images so it feels very space jam.

duplicate and oc friendly. shipping is very cool and i am open to it! i ship with genshin & non-genshin muses, and occasionally ocs. i prefer head-canoning more than threads due to my writing speed, but i am still interested! i ship with chemistry rather than what's considered canon. generally singleship but this is not a hard rule. i’m also poly friendly!current ship bias: pierro, varka, childe, dottore, pantalone, tsaritsa, arlecchino - open to others!
fourth.
this blog will be low activity and mutuals only. i work full time in a demanding job, so please don't interact with me if you need fast replies to maintain a muse. i am quite responsive ooc, so feel free to DM me or request my discord. however, when it comes to writing, you will just have to take my word for it that i am worth the wait ʚ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ɞi go by dima and vodka interchangeably, for those who would rather not use names related to alcohol. both are fine with me!

the way she cowered in fear made the knight realize: he was now a monster himself. tainted by the blood and cruelty of his drawn-out war.

at cursory glance, it is easy to think that the captain is a brute from the size of his husk alone. that assumption would be the polar opposite of the truth, for a brute does not care where his strength is thrown. the captain is a stalwart servant of the tsaritsa, but he would nay harm a hair upon the head of an innocent. his noble principles guide him like a north star, unmoving, unwavering; a grounding point.when conversing with the captain, he has only one rule of address: look him in the eyes when speaking to him. it is his only request ― titles have no place in his company lest speaking with his superiors, and he would even overlook a casual tone from a subordinate. in return, capitano is a keen listener but less of an instigator. it's not uncommon to receive monoword answers, as if speaking at great lengths is of discomfort to him. let it be known, he heard your every word.one of the defining traits of the harbinger is that victory does not come before lives. if he does not see it advantageous to engage in combat then he will not do so ; hard to believe for someone who is famed for their battles. for him, honour is the way in which one conducts oneself, and not in the medals they have achieved for their valour.
