About me: Writing is one of the ways to see the world anew and to make my delusions come true.
Their writing sample says:
Returning to an empty home is an occurrence foreign to Xiao. He’d announce his arrival, waiting for an excited greeting from the one person he sees his future with—then, with a growing sour feeling in his chest, none would come but a deafening silence that Xiao is yet to be accustomed to.
This feeling, this situation, the absence of the one person he’d love to hear from again… it’s so awful that Xiao has the urge to vomit up the feelings he’d bottled up inside him. He’d wish, on a daily basis, that this is only a nightmare and not the reality he’s living in. But all he can do is go to bed and relive the feeling all over again—today, tomorrow, on another day—with every reminder showing up at every corner.

The writing sample continues: (The mug he uses in the morning. The scent of the fabric softener whenever he dries his clothes. The channel he’d subconsciously switch to. The forgotten clothes that are too small to fit him.)
Venti ought to have cheated instead. Perhaps Xiao would be able to move on quite quickly, resenting him and never looking back.

But Venti didn’t.
One day, he’d woken up with the knowledge that he had fallen out of love, leaving Xiao to drown in the wake of it. Never moving on, always asking if it is over now.

About me: Back at it again with the albescara agenda MUHAHAH! I'm a C6 Scara haver and I pulled Albedo with Uraku so they can be happy together Manifesting more canon events of them to feed my level of delulu. Thanks for having me!
The sample art shows Scaramouche (with a sandwich) and Albedo (with a dango) eating outside. (it seems they are having a picnic.)

The graphic has a green background. It has more info on one of the contributors in the scarabedo zine. The writing sample submitted by chushii says,
Staying busy keeps his mind from wandering elsewhere. Kunikuzushi enjoys his rare off-days, but being productive gives him a sense of accomplishment. He’s waiting for news on his audition, which, from the way the director praised his performance then, he thinks he did really well on. Other than that, Kunikuzushi follows his gym routine, attends the small fanmeet Nahida scheduled for him (he does appreciate being able to greet his fans, even if a select few of them are very, very passionate) and gives his all with the rest of his acting jobs. After much deliberation, he decides to go to the party. Nahida is thrilled to hear it. In exchange, she books a nice limousine to take him to and from the venue. He did have one condition, though — Kunikuzushi asks if Venti could chaperone him. Since Xiao has a last minute excursion, he’s unable to go, which means it’s just the two of them attending. Nahida agrees almost instantly and Venti is more than happy to tag along. The hotel venue isn’t far from the studio. In fact, it’s a building he sees quite often, a mere three blocks away from Teyvat Enterprise’s main facility. He checks into the reception with Venti, and the staff direct them through the double doors leading to the main floor.

Tails/ Bug_ch3ss
About Me: I like drawing, gaming and fashion. I enjoy criptic things, fantasy creatures and bugs. Scarabedo is my OTP because of their complexity and inhuman nature, they're so bug coded heh.

Writing sample:
I used to find the notion of myself being devoted to others laughable, yet now I cannot forget how seeing the face of the one standing before me, shinning with pride and care, made my knees go weak; I cannot denny nor avoid the way i sank into my knees, the way my hands leaned in front of me in prayer, how can I even live after the devotion filled me just by standing in front of them. As Albedo looked down at me, a soft smile luring his face as he shinned with the power he held, my whole body fell, like a puppet with their strings cut loose, like how i fell in the afterlife after my chains had been broken by the lamb himself. I sank fully, my head and body reeling with an indescribable devotion. My hands in prayer, my forehead against the floor beneath Albedo’s feet. And yet it felt like it could not be enough. Murmurs of prayers escaped my mouth as I begged for an space in their life an space where they would consider me a vessel of him just as i had before with them.

Their writing sample says,
"How high?" Though she just asked, the broom already circled upwards along the wall of the Astronomy Tower. "Higher. Above the Towers." "What are you planning?" Ajax's lungs now filled not with air but with fear. That high, even she might not be able to prevent something happening to her friend. Her wand was tucked away on the back where Kaeya was up against and she doesn't have the agility needed for a seeker, she was told that in her second year. And if something were to happen with Kaeya, she'd never forgive herself for that. Kaeya didn't reply, only wave to the students watching them ascend from the Tower's windows, many following them upwards, trying to catch up with them against the snake-like and neverending stairs. Ajax, thinking she couldn't hear from the wind, asked her question a few more times but with each try came naught for an answer.

The story snippet continues into the next graphic.

The graphic has a green background and is a continuation from the first graphic in this post. It says,
The broom kept ascending, until it surpassed the very tip of the Tower but she didn't stop, flew even higher, somewhere where the very pointy tips of the castle weren't directly under them. And then in that moment, something felt *wrong*. The broom she sat on was disproportionately light towards her side, so much that she almost fell off. Time slowed down when she looked back, only to see the seat behind her empty. For a moment, she searched the sky for Kaeya's trace and found her several meters below her already, falling, smiling, extending her arms upwards. Her face showed no fear as her long hair danced around her, locks wrapping her into a blanket, having escaped from the bun she put them up in. Without a moment's hesitation, Ajax stood up and jumped from her broom, diving after her best friend, the one she loved so dearly, the one without whom life wouldn't have meaning. She jumped, arms at the side to speed up and catch up with Kaeya, whose carefree laughter now hit her ears. But she just dived, ready to catch her. In the next moment, arms that felt colder than her own wrapped around Ajax and finally, they were falling together. Extending her hand outwards, Ajax now called upon her broom, hoping that the years they spent together and bonded was enough for it to respond.

❤️ Meet Szim ❤️
They're in the SFW & NSFW Scarabedo Zines. ☂️🌻
(Check out their nsfw zine spotlight at @artificialsinners.bsky.social)

This is a spotlight for one of out contributors named szim.
They'll be a Artist, Writer, & Chef for the zines.
Here is a sample of their writing:
“What’s the big fuss about?” Kunikuzushi asked after seeing Nahida run around the place and he got too annoyed. “It is soon time!” came the reply, which did not help him understand any better, so with a sign he stood up to go out and see it for himself. The whole house looked clean and neat, never before heard levels of tidiness and was that decoration ? Kunikuzushi was beyond baffled. What was happening in his house without the knowledge of his?! “Ah, welcome, just who we have been waiting for,” Albedo smiled at Kunikuzushi in the living room as he entered. Again, not helpful. “Behold, the moment of birth!” “The moment of what-” Was all Kunikuzushi could mutter and then he saw it.

Continuation from the first card. This one szim speaks about their love of cooking
'I spend an unhealthy amount of time in the kitchen or just thinking about cooking/baking, so honestly, the best is, when all that effort that I had put in, feels worth it. When people eat the goods and smile, compliment it. Current favourite dish to cook is fruit soup. Current favourite dish to bake is pizza. And about desserts... well, this year I have a resolution that I try out all of my saved recipes, so send help - maybe a few armies would be enough to eat it all...'
