artist friends, please take care of yourself and block this dude on both of his accounts. he's def thriving off of engagement, so just block him and move on.
friendly reminder that in jp chapter 222 draken says "aitsu ga daisuki da" ("i love him") and i feel that the translation downplays the amount of emotion here by changing it to "i really liked that guy" (esp that he uses present tense, not past)
he started following a lot of artists who have words "c0mmissions" or "do not rep0st" mentioned on twt, so the faster you block him the safer you probably are.
i loved, and i loved, and i lost you

me a few years ago: i'm not gonna block anyone unless i have to
me today: blocked, blocked, all of you are blocked, i don't fucking care, i don't want to see your shitty headcanons ever again
with everything else that draken keeps saying afterwards, a mere "like" does not convey the full scope of his feelings. there's no straight explanation for this. i do not take criticism, you can't tell me that a guy like draken uses "daisuki" just like that.
@i_n__d_u
till, you're not his friend because you're his heart, his soul and the object of his deepest affection 😭"friend" does not even begin to cover it, from ivan's point of view 😭
to make it 100000% clear - sure, you can use "daisuki" to say that you like something very much. but given the circumstances (and doramai's past), i am pretty certain we're talking about love here.
i went through the zhongxiao ship or skip thing and compiled my favourite takes that beautifully portray how a majority of gnshn fandom a) cannot read, b) mixes up canon and fanon, c) should go touch some grass
zhongxiao in gnshn anthology... xiao overworking himself and traveller inviting zhongli to teach him how to take a break from fighting... xiao's shoujo vision when he looks at zhongli... i am dying
it's the kiss day today and i have nothing interesting to offer but this humble fragment of a bigger
#zhongxiao
piece i'm working on.
(it counts as a kiss, right? RIGHT?)
okay, whatever, gore and amputation incoming, please mute if you need to
i was thinking about hurt/comfort zx where x loses his arm during a fight gone wrong and for some reason can't ever get it back, even if he changes his form
still

早速翻訳させていただきました~
ZL: Xiao.
ZL: Welcome home.
X: ...I
X: I'm back...
ZL: You're not used to it yet?
ZL: No matter how many times you say it, it looks like you can't grow accustomed to it.
sure, there's a bit of xae too but it's not about them
it's about xiao being absolutely petrified when zhongli appears bc he wasn't ready to face him
it's about zhongli smiling at xiao and encouraging him

kuro really went for the kill with the dreamscape metro location, it's like there's someone on the team making conscious choices and adding orv references 🥹
@verynsfwjx
tbh there's something intriguing in top!xiao and bottom!zl and i can't lie, him looking like this, the opposite of dominant and masculine? makes it even spicier. :x but i'm a weird person who loves vers so imma shut up and sit in my corner, haha.
i rarely like netfIix shows so much that i'd recommend them, but holy shit. brand new cherry flavour is stunning and absolutely worth watching, especially for someone (like me) who loves well-done, aesthetic gore.
20/10 kittens from me, would definitely recommend.
another tokrev (and doramai) translation thread bc i'm laughing too much at this!
so, there's the scene in chapter 12.5 where mikey and draken meet for the first time. the first words that mikey says are pretty enigmatic in english. "positions" can mean a lot of things, right?
and there's nothing that i can do (except bury my love for you)

zx nation, for the love of gods, remember the ancient saying:
do not feed the troll
engaging with that one particular post is most probably what the OP is after so just block and move on
@ravenscharm1
no problem! i think the translation team might've chosen the easy way out... but no matter how you see their relationship - platonic, romantic, whatevs - it doesn't change the fact that mikey's been an essential part of draken's life. and we shouldn't be scared of using Big Words
i need to scream about this fic and make everyone read it.
then to the elements/be free and fare thou well by justfullofsand
this is probably one of the best zhongchixiao fics i've ever read. it's amazingly written, it's raw, it hurts in the best ways.
@on_sarail
THANK YOU, tormented till who tries to act like ivan's sacrifice doesn't mean anything to him is my favourite thing!!!! i love it when he suffers!
@gaebulge
yukko uploaded the zx log on pixiv and wrote that she thanks everyone for following her on twitter but she deleted the account... that's so sad ;;;;
x is so exhausted that he's barely conscious; so when zl appears in front of him, he thinks it's a hallucination, a cruel creation of his own mind.
"forgive me, my lord," he sobs quietly, over and over again. "forgive me for failing you."
zl feels his heart break.

i hope that everyone who likes and RTs this knows that by married i mean they kiss every day and shower their little daughter qiqi with love
this is a strictly no-dadson zx zone (unless you're kinky, then dadson might also be valid)
thank you for reading! this has been a completely spontaneous thread and i never expected so many people to join me for the ride (hence the shitty formatting). i just wanted to ramble about amputee x and the rest is history ♥️ thanks for enabling me!
x didn't take one thing into consideration, though - zl might not be the all-knowing archon of liyue anymore, but he can still feel the extreme emotions of his subjects.
and x's anguish... is not something that he would ever disregard.
@castikztr
i had to go back and check it but! when talking about how draken feels towards emma both he and mikey use "suki" - in 148 when mikey tells her "kenchin, omae no koto suki nandaze" (kenchin likes you) and in 186 when draken says "ema-san wo suki deshita" (i loved emma).
