Next spotlight for #apricityzine should be up tomorrow! Progress is going steadily but I expect to really make progress in February with my parts of the zine. I have a good idea of the art I want to draw for xinra. My favorite thing has to be designing merch for them tho ♡♡

A zine contributor spotlight graphic for Apricity Zine. The spotlight post features the writer Glaciem. The graphic is light pink and features Inazuma in the background. Two branches of flowers frame the info container. Guest Writer Glaciem “Hi I’m Glaciem, I love Ares, and I love Xinra. Let’s give it up for the best pairing in the universe!!!!” A zine contributor spotlight graphic for Apricity Zine. The spotlight post features the artist Glaciem’s showcase writing. The graphic is light orange and features Liyue in the background. Two lanterns frame the artwork in the center. In the top left corner is the artist’s name: Glaciem “Spring is a season of change. Snow melts, paving the way for dark green grass and unfurling delicate buds of pink, yellow, white flowers ready to bloom once sunshine smiles their way. Despite the peakings of summer coming through, the nights and early mornings were still chilly and the occasional rain shower would make its way through the streets, drenching the roads and homes with the pleasant smell of petrichor and fresh flora, a treat for those indulging themselves on the outdoors.” Shinra was one such participant, making her way outside with a cup of warm green tea. It had rained only an hour ago and from the looks of it, it would rain again soon. She couldn’t help but sit outside and watch as the tell-tale signs of another storm made themselves known. A rumble in the air, not yet thunder but bubbling as if to whisper I am coming. Trees swayed in the wind, leaves gripping their branches tight with a newfound strength that had not been there a season ago. There was beauty here. There was also beauty inside, curled under a comforter with a furry black and white cat resting on his hip. Beauty will wake silently and without motion so as to not disturb the cat, but will still gently rise, rousing the cat until she yawns and climbs down to nestle herself on the already warm sheets. Beauty will make his way to Shinra and she will welcome him with open arms and a tender kiss on his cheek.

In the top left corner is the writer’s name: Dimapologist “The universe is vast,” she cooed. Thumbs grazed the chub of his cheeks. “If we’re ever separated again…” She bit her bottom lip, taking a deep breath before she continued. “Regardless of what happens or what you experience… Please, find me again. Meet me once more.” Xavier hitched his breath. Eyes widened at her words. Blasting heat exploded in his chest as relief and delight flooded his senses. *He would.* His mind declared. *He had.* His heart screamed. *He will do it again.* His soul crashed into his psyche. *For as long as you exist.* *Meet me once more.* Her voice portrayed a gentleness that resonated in his soul. Even after centuries of hearing the universe’s sounds and the oblivion of silence, her voice melts into the comforting haze of his adoration. He took her hand gingerly. He glanced at how her winnow-like fingers look smaller in his grasp. Pulling it to his lips, he whispered sweet nothings onto her tan skin. “I will, always.”
