happy birthday diluc! this was inspired by his message. enjoy!
"There you are," Diluc says when he finally finds you knelt beside a dog.
You look up from the shiba inu and smile as Diluc kneels beside you to pet it. His fingers meet yours for a split second before moving to the other side of its head to pet it some more.
It had been months since you last saw him, but he never left your mind. Somehow, he's become more beautiful than you remember.
"Master Diluc. Welcome to Liyue," you say, looking away and focusing on the dog's golden brown fur. His eyes have always been too distracting. Most people grow intimidated by the bright red of his gaze, but you can't help but love them. The reason you look away is just different compared to the rest.
"Is this all you have to show me?" he asks, smiling. "Mondstadt has dogs too, you know. Perhaps i should just return home if this is all there is on your journey."
Diluc isn't normally one to make jokes, but when heโs with you, he makes an exception. It reminds you of when you met him almost everyday during your time in Mondstadt. After leaving for Liyue, on a quest to find your sibling, you promised each other to send letters whenever either of you had the chance.
The last time you made contact with him was on his birthday, when you sent a card to greet him. Despite it being his celebration, you received a package from him as well.
Our paths are intertwined nonetheless.
Although the snack and beverage were long gone, you kept the message in your bag, so whenever you missed him, you had a piece of him with you. It's silly, but ever since you met him all those years ago, you can't help but feel a sense of comfort around him.
He makes you feel safe.
You smile. You couldn't be more excited to have him join you. "Oh, definitely. Mondstadt does need their Dark Night Hero, after all. Don't worry, Master Diluc. While you handle Mondstadt, I'll deal with the rest of Teyvat."
He lets go of the dog, which rushes back to wherever it came from. The both of you remain kneeling on the ground.
"Is that a challenge, Y/N?"
"Maybe."
His eyes light up. It was just like when you played chess at the Winery. Master Diluc loves a good competition, and so far, you're the only one who's been capable of making him struggle.
He gets up and offers his hand. "Alright. How about a duel? It's been a while hasn't it? Let's see how much stronger you've gotten in the past couple of months."
You take his hand, your faces only inches away when he pulls you up. Until now, you're astonished by the strength he holds. You don't move back, even when the air tenses between you. The sun peeking through the mountains reflects on his eyes, giving a beautiful bright glow. But you don't look away this time. You've missed him, and being apart from him for so long made you realize how much you love him. Wherever this boldness came from, you don't want to lose it just yet. This is Diluc Ragnvindr. Being bold is his language.

You cannot tell me that your fave is the only group who makes good music bc that is a blatant LIE. There is SO MUCH AMAZING music out there like I'm not joking there hasn't been a single 2021 comeback that I haven't loved. If everyone opened their ears we'd all be happier here.

Elspeth Beard, shortly after becoming theย first Englishwoman to circumnavigate the world by motorcycle.ย Her journey took 3 years and covered 48,000 miles.
Uh, just as a warning to anyone out there attracted to women: the other photos of her that exist are at least equally as hot, which is fucking terrifying.
This woman could ride up to me, take of the helmet and dramatically shake out her hair, and ask me to leave my life behind to run away adventuring with her
She is also an architect who lives in a Victorian water tower, and a more recent photo (still with a bike!) shows that at about 60 years old she is *still* just as beautiful.
at a momentโs notice, in the blink of an eye, from one second to another, everything can change. thereโs no preparing for it sometimes. just accepting it.ย
being apart doesnโt mean we lack togetherness; there are a multitude of ways to forge connection with someone aside from physically being with them.
it really is the little things โ never underestimate just how healing a warm walk or reading a good book can be.
empathy is still a foreign concept to many so surround yourself with people who care about more than just themselves.
just because the world stopped spinning for a few months, doesnโt mean time stopped moving; the months may have bled into each other but that doesnโt mean we were living in an endless march - october still came and it blessed us with orange leaves and crisp skies. july brought the fireworks it promised it would. december still came with christmas. it may have felt different, but it was still there.
donโt be afraid to stand up when others are telling you to sit down; donโt be afraid to shout when others are telling you to be quiet.
the people in your corner will save you in more ways than one and maybe, just maybe, youโll be saving them too.
you donโt need a reason to do your makeup or wear a fancy dress. look like youโre going to prom in your backyard, eat mcdonaldโs with your face beat. who cares?ย โjust becauseโ is always reason enough.
that thing youโve always wanted to try? do it. instead of starting your thoughts with โwhat if iโ or โi could justโ โ do it. nothingโs holding you back except for you.
the world will turn upside down in more ways than one and you are going to turn with it; all you can do is hold on tight and go with the flow.ย
itโs okay to be scared, itโd be scarier if you werenโt.ย
injustice doesnโt stop because the world stopped; hatred will always be loud and ugly and itโs up to us to turn that pain into promise through education and action.
being alone doesnโt have to be lonely. learn to fall in love with spending time with yourself.ย
weโre all connected in ways we never realized and we affect each otherโs lives in more ways than weโll ever truly understand. weโre all connected someway, somehow.ย
just because it seems like everyone else is hustling, doesnโt mean you have to as well. move at youโre own pace.ย
donโt stop taking pictures just because things are ugly now; one day, youโll look back and be glad you did.ย
we havenโt lived through a chapter of a US history textbook โ we are still living through one. just because the page is turning doesnโt mean everything is changing. be patient.ย
youโre allowed to just be. youโre allowed to just exist.ย
donโt stop chasing happiness just because itโs harder to get a hold of.
Their bodies move in perfect sync, like two hearts beating at once. They dance like theyโve practiced for months and let the song in their heads control them. Her body shivers at every touch, from his hands to her waist, to hers on his neck.

A magnitude 6.4 earthquake was registered about half an hour ago in Croatia, to follow other seismic events yesterday and the day before; official sources have not confirmed the extent of the damage or any victims as of yet.
โIn my poetry class, Iโve always had students memorize something, a few things. I feel that if theyโve forgotten everything Iโve said, if they havenโt written anything down all semester and just stared out the window, at least theyโll come away with a poem memorized.
So one day, years ago, I was on the subway in New York, and a guy across the aisle kept kind of looking at me and finally he came over and said he recognized me as his teacher. Iโd taught him about 10 years before that, or more. Heโd since become an oncologist, and I congratulated him on his success. Then he said, โYou made us memorize a poem.โ And I said, โYes.โ And he said, โIโd like to say that poem for you.โ
And it was a little poem by Emily Dickinson that heโd carried in his head, and maybe in his heart, for all those years. Over the roar of the 6 train, he yelled that poem in my ear, and I think it was probably the most satisfying pedagogical experience Iโve ever had.โ
-Billy Collins, in a conversation

kids of color, youโre allowed to get a bitey when a white friend does something racist. literally 0 percent of people of color are obligated to be nice and palatable for white people. holding your tongue in the name of kindness doesnโt really do much in regards to stuff like this because white people are going to see you calling out their own racism as unkind anyways.
white people, if a person of color comes off as aggressive while calling you out for racism, just fucking listen to them. theyโre not coming from nowhere, and believe it or not: they know more about racism than you do! shocker, i know. just thickskin it, because itโs really not about you.
