You're the only one who understands, Lady Temperance. If only everyone here was just as intelligent as you.

They can complain about their work, but that won't lessen the amount of work that needs to be finished

✨ Welcome to Yiling Wei Sect ✨ Do not ask us where our sect leader is.

i will... force myself to rest

[ his eyes narrowed. ] One doesn't simply create death. You're killing the living before their destined death.

Like I would believe that.

i will report this if you don't get your shit together and do your work.

what a strange way to say you're an alcoholic

squints eyes.

You have work.

We already have enough of that.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I'm not.

They take me for fools, don't they?

// Headcanon, Sloth and Gluttony invented Uber Eats and pitched it to Diligence by telling them that people can have lunch delivered to their office so they can eat and work through their lunch break 🤣

🍂~ headcanon diligence secretly invests money to any of sloth's idea

🍂~ wei wuxian created smart watches

After his punishment, Diligence would have a daily tea routine. He thought it would be a good idea to spend it with ( reader ).

🍂~ so shes @yearningfeather.bsky.social planning on posting something for yuxi. u.u

as a child, his father taught him the phrase: "by any means necessary." if diligence were to be compared to his father, diligence would be a saint. his father never held a sword, but his hands were still stained with blood.

🍂~ so i had this amazing idea of diligence taking in one of my ocs who i never gave a plot line to

. . . who sent him a goldfish?!

Gluttony. . .

Tsk. Do you think heaven will grant anyone a spot who hadn't suffered? It was only temporarily. After the suffering, they would've went to heaven and enjoy the paradise. Your jiejie was weak and couldn't handle a small trial.

[ rubs his head. ] because i followed the heaven's will and your jiejie didn't.

i did what i had to do

i thought we were getting along well🙄

don't worry about the money (💧)

yes. anything you want.

. . . i'll treat you to dinner if we stop this conversation

diligence scoffs. this will be the first and last time he'll try to console the sin! "it'll end soon enough." he stares into the distance, silently praying sloth won't release his invention to the mortal realm.

🍂~ shouldn't be laughing this hard

"overworking is just as bad as underworking." he frowns. diligence has the audacity to pat sloth's hand. it's an attempt to comfort the soon-to-be busy sin. "you got this."

"heaven decided to punish me for overworking." perhaps of his state, diligence is on the verge of crying. "they won't punish me for long," or that is what he hopes.

[ shudders. ] don't even mention the invention...

"it'll only be a matter of time before sloth finds out. you must be ready." diligence pouts. the virtue reaches his hand out to huaisang. "i'll do the bare minimum. what do you need help with?"

"Who said I'm in time out?" Diligence dares to enter his room with his head held high. "Nap time... I'm not a baby. I could do some work."

quietly drinking his strawberry milkshake

Sometimes Diligence has the habit of overworking himself. It's a habit that he plans to get rid of. Overwork could lead into an unhealthy obsession. At this point of his lifetime, he'd blame the downfall of his kingdom on his obsession.

"invention number 678" made him froze mid-step. sloth's inventions would only create more workload on his part. from the looks of it, sloth's threat is a promise. "very well." he clears his throat. "i won't leave."

"I'll try to reach out," he nods. no matter how small the mission is, diligence will get it done. "he may be hard to reach, but it's not impossible."

I'd disagree. There will be someone who will replace me. They might provide more value than I could. [ He chuckled tiredly. How long has it been since he got this position? A vacation would be nice. ] No need to be sick anymore. With the virtues growing, there'll be balance.

it is. . .

With that perspective, I can understand why you believe it as such. [ he huffs. ] Let's hope the younger angels won't be affected with their nonsense.

I do apologize for the sudden disappearance.
