A farewell ( to Baizhu )! For now.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/day to my fellow writers! I genuinely wanted to make an update post about this for quite some time, I just have not been able to due to a few things. Namely that this account was sort of on the old dashboard layout, but also because I truly and genuinely have not had the motivation to be here due to the ick I have been getting here.

I will, of course, explain more under the readmore in a bit, but first, i just genuinely want to take the time to say a few more other POSITIVE notes as well!

I would like to thank you all for taking the time and interest in wanting to write with myself and with Baizhu. I do truly appreciate it. For those who have been genuine and there to read about my personal HCs for him, I do mean it when i say that it made me happy that other folks enjoyed the content I had created.

I genuinely wrote Baizhu because i enjoyed his mysterious allure and I really did, in fact, come to cherish him as a muse prior to his release. I am known to pick up characters that dont have much information on them because I feel inspired to make something incredibly unique for him. It was absolutely amazing and fun to create him as a character, and again, for those of you who have followed and have watched and seen him grow, I thank you so much. Nobody had to stick around for that, so I commend anybody who has done so this entire time.

Now... I know I have not been here for QUITE some time even before baizhu's release, because of burnout, but even after his release, i have just come to realise that.... MUCH of what i have written and created for baizhu is just simple so different than his canon. While I am more than capable of writing an alternate version of Baizhu as a completely Canon-DIVERGENT character, I also feel like it would be difficult for me as I have had to really look around and see what part of his canon would have to be retconned and what would have to just be... shifted.

And given the fact that I just had no more heart for the game either, i just simple did not want to take the time and effort to do it - even though baizhu had come to be a comfort muse for myself. On top of what the community has already made be feel like as well? To be quite frank, I just simply could not put in the effort anymore.

Perhaps on a multimuse, as a possible request muse, sure, but I can no longer keep baizhu on a single, standalone blog anymore.

For that, I do TRULY apologise.

Again, I want to thank you all for the great and fun times, but for now I must bid the blog specifically adieu, for now. Perhaps one day he will comeback just on my multimuse, but not right now.

I do still have him as a muse, on discord, through written plots and the like. so if ANYBODY would like to add me on discord, they may! My discord is the following, so please feel free to add me: ghostliie

Of course, there are actually a LOT more reasons for me having no desire to be here, and for that, i will put the rest under a read more. but understand that there were a LOT of reasons for my departure and i want folks to understand that I did GENUINELY enjoy my interactions here. I dont want any of my mutuals feeling like they did anything wrong, because they have not. and I can assure and promise you all that.

Honestly there are 2 very big and main reasons for me to not want to be here. And both are mainly due to the fact that there is a LOT of discomfort for me to be here.

The FIRST reason is that, I have grown absolutely weary and worn of the actual GenPact community. The Fanon takes are hot and, quite frankly, I do not enjoy them. But its also the OwO-ification of many characters and the general UwU attitudes of the fandom as a whole that makes me rather sick. Its really discomforting that characters are being watered and washed down to the point of jokes, and I simply just do not like that.

People are entitled to write however they wish and see fit, it just is not something I personally bode well myself. I enjoy complex characters with nuanced histories. Now, I understand that, perhaps, this may not be the fandom for that, but, of course, this is why i personally cater my own dash to what i like. people should know that I follow people for their writing and for them as the writer, not for their muses. It is just truly unfortunate that.... It still feels a bit suffocating for me to be here regardless. And I have come to notice that.... it TRULY is just the fandom community as a whole. I have been on other blogs of mine and it is honestly so very odd to feel completely different on my other dashes than I do on here.

It's heartbreaking for me to say the least, but I just no longer want to feel anxious anymore. I also want to be taken seriously, not as some joke either. and.... If i had to be frank, I have, indeed, had some rather NASTY interactions with baizhu and a few other genshin muses that i just simply will no longer tolerate seeing anymore.

There is this sort of cringe culture that really permeates the community, and i just do not have the tolerance keep trying to cater to what i like. I.E. there is too much of it for me to cater, so I would rather take my leave than to stick around.

Now... Onto the SECOND reason for me to leaving.... for those who may or may not know, I had made a post about a certain individual who is/was EXTREMELY frequent in the community a long while ago. For those who would like that post, it is this post right here. ( Mind, this is NOT a callout, and I want people to understand that I want her to be left alone. ) But, in all honesty, ever since the fallout with her, i simply just do not want be in the same vicinity or social circle as her.

She also clearly does not realise how the law works because if she had, she would understand that I live in a place where single-party consent is allowed. ( I had to record our last phone conversation because knowing her, she would absolutely gaslight, manipulate, and try mentally and emotion abuse me like she had for quite some time. ) But overall, My qualms with her are MOSTLY personal, however aside from the fact that she is absolutely lying about her race now ( she is MOSTLY white, has admitted to me that she is mostly white - and has said i would experience more racism than her if i were to be in her town - and she does, in fact, have white privilege - she LOOKS white and SHOULD acknowledge this if she is writing herself down as something else ). But that's neither here nor there.

This is all to say that my experience with her had boiled down to her being extremely acephobic towards me. She infantalised me multiple times and would never take me seriously. And then had the gall to call me a narcissist and said that i didn't give her the 'attention' that she herself admitted to. ( and again for anybody who doesn't believe me, I have the entire phone conversation and receipts to prove this ). She was abusive towards me and was/is EXTREMELY unapologetic for it.

I can admit my own faults as well, and I have indeed apologised to her about it, but she refuses to do the same to me. And I dont want to be near somebody who was abusive to me.

AGAIN THIS IS NOT A CALLOUT, so please do NOT go at her for any reason. I simply am explaining that.... her active presence in the GenPact community greatly discomforts me. She was a rather toxic individual towards me, and I simply do not feel comfortable being near or in a community that she is in.

I also do not want to force people to pick sides either, because that is so extremely unfair to them as well. But it doesn't change the fact that i don't feel comfortable being so close to her since our circle of moots are similar. So, therefore, I will be leaving.

And before anybody dares to tell me that i am just trying to shit-stir or anything. I really am not. she is accusing me of things that she is doing herself and had HARD projected that shit on me. I simply do not condone that at all. i have the proof to show that as well, to show that I genuinely am not blowing smoke up my ass. Most of it is provided on this carrd i have made about it. ( minus the last interaction we had. ) But again, I have the phone conversation and recording as well.

AGAIN, i am simply explaining WHY i am leaving and what has caused me to feel so distressed and uncomfortable on this blog. Please don't attack anybody or anything. I am being incredibly generalised here on purpose, but if anybody wants to know and understand the full situation, so they can make their own decision, they may ask, i will not hide anything. My discord has been listed above, so please feel free to ask me on discord. I will add anybody to have that convo.

Anyway.... I have found comfort in other places, included an OC of mine, so I prefer to be elsewhere. If you would LIKE the location of my current whereabouts, you MAY ask. However, not on this blog. For I will most likely not answer.

You may also try my MultiMuse @ghstlie if you so wish and desire, but it is currently LOW ACTIVITY.

But otherwise, I bid you all a lovely farewell. I do apologise again. And I wish you ALL the very best.

[baizhuo]

as mentioned , i do frequent some of my other blogs more often . while some of them i will not share publicly , i will share my multi with you all if the blog interests you . it is @ghstlie

its mostly OCs though . i have a few genshin characters on there but my burnout and tolerance with the community is just nonexistent . no hate to the game , just dont vibe with the community . sorry !

be warned , i really am not active one there either . the blog i am active on is not one i share on here . if you care to add me on discord , you may . i am more frequent on there, including plotting and discussions of characters .

my discord is this : ghostliie

[baizhuo]

You shouldnt use pennames of people youve known in the past

LOL die mad

is what i would say , but tbqh people really ought to stop gatekeeping pennames . like hard stop . its neither cute nor funny .

[baizhuo]

anyway, im alive and probably gonna be lurking more often on my multi , so you can maybe find me there , but i've decided to go through and make another genshin OC . albeit this time it'll be zhongli's brother/twin . here . have a video with him in it :3

i love him

making this so i can remind myself when i log in next time .

i have starters that i need to make for the following still .

@thuganomxcs @al-hazen @primegrim

i do very DEEPLY apologise that i am as slow as snails ( maybe even slower lbr ) . starters are really , REALLY , hard for me to do on a whim & i do better with plotted stuff i'll have to be honest .

i also don't WANT to force a muse out either cause i always aim to provide the best content for my fellow mutuals . i love baizhu very dearly and am always more than happy to plot extensively and discuss , its just hard for me to write sometimes . please i do hope you forgive me . i really am trying my best .

im also available on discord for anybody as well , just ask away i dont mind sharing 💚

🐍 @monogatcri │ what if you liked this post?

❛ hmm ... ? ❜ 

stills himself enough , careful not to exhibit any further signs of PIQUED interest - lest there is a betrayal of that already made reputation of his . though looks CAN be deceiving ( the doctor would know ) , & while he stays clear of any look of marvel & awe , baizhu is STILL a very curious one .

this one that stood before him was most certainly .... odd . but ! peculiarities were not of a RARE occurrence for the pharmacist either way . nay , not at all ! has had far stranger patients & cases before . so this was - & therefore should be - no exception to that .

though one cannot HELP but to still have a curiosity nonetheless .

❛ you have nothing to be concerned about , i won't tell a soul . ❜ 

[baizhuo]

baizhu animation coming (not very soon) to a theatre near YOU!!!! enjoy these color keys

[baizhuo]

Screaming at how good this is. He's so sexy and mysterious.

[baizhuo]

also i will get to those other starters eventually i have just been really exhausted with moving stuff

[baizhuo]

so you are NOT the same ghost as starfallenwishes and verdantscribe

CORRECT. i am NOT that ghost. i went by amphy in the genshin fandom before. i go by phantom in another fandom.

i have seen that other ghost but its not me.

[baizhuo]

are you not the ghost from like ages ago that got kicked out of the rpc?

uh.... which ghost???? i know like too many ghosts tbh... which ghost are you referring to.

but short answer is.. NO. i am NOT the ghost from ages ago that got kicked.

if you are talking about the ghost from the genshin community, no, i am not that ghost, i have said that.

if you are talking about a ghost from uhhhh.... the FE community. no, i am not that ghost either.

i took on the name ghost a few years ago while in the genshin community on my blog. i have had a lot of names in the past due to my tendency to like.... just not be satisfied with my pennames for very long ( but also i use different pennames in different fandoms too ).

if you have a url, it would be easier to tell you if it was me or not. but i can also list my characters i've written as well.

Edited to add: I got this an ask like this before. but needless to say, again. NO, i am NOT verdantscribe or wherever that ghost is now. i dont KNOW them personally. the ONLY genshin characters/blogs i have had are baizhu and ganyu.

[baizhuo]

alright, because i think this really DID NOT need to be publicized at all because it was a personal and PRIVATE qualm and issue, i'm gonna be 100% real and honest with y'all.

the user @/wiindscng is a controlling little bitch ( sorry ) individual that wants me to stop using the penname 'ghost' because i 'took' it from an ex mutual of mine and they dont wanna 'come back' because im using it.

as i have explained before: yes i had an ex friend named ghost. and it was unfortunate that we arent friends, and out of decency i didn't use the name but after a while i decided that... fuck it. NOBODY controls a fucking penname and alias. I have WANTED to use the name for a really long time because, as i have said..... i tend to GHOST people. ( albeit unintentionally and i always come back but it happens )

also, i will say that i do, in fact HAVE PROOF of this conversation because despite her not listening to me about how i dont like phone calls, she wanted a phone call. Because i am aware of her manipulative and victimising behaviour i HAD to fucking record it because i knew she was going to twist something. I didn't do it out of malice, i was just done and tired of her fucking bullshit. I also had Finn ( aka @legendsung ) listen in on the conversation because of how batshit crazy her requests would most likely be.

I WILL be transcribing that ENTIRE phone call from start to finish just to PROVE AND SHOW EXACTLY what went on and to show how her asking for something that neither I nor her can control is absolutely UNREASONABLE.

im sorry but im kind of over her petty bullshit as well. yes, this IS drama. i am saying that right now, im being wholly honest with you guys. but im also done with her disrespecting me.

to whomever the anons are, please stop sending me stuff, please stop hovering her blog. I have told her that i cannot control who goes on her blog and who tells me shit, but she also believes that im stalking and harrassing her. im not. but i've also stopped caring to keep this private.

she wants to air out our dirty laundry, then fine, absolutely FINE. but i will also say this, im over her treating me like shit and her being an ACEPHOBIC and ABELIST piece of shit.

She also apparently thinks that its not okay????? for me to hyperfocus and talk to only specific people and that i HAVE to validate her. ( well had to at this point. )

i have so much more to say about this, but tbh, again, this is all drama. i'm over it, this is just me airing everything out.

feel free to read THIS explanation if you want to understand some of the depth and breadth of what is going on. Fair warning this is VERY long and only SCRAPES the tip of the iceberg.

if you wanna keep in touch with me, feel free to ask for the discord, otherwise, if you can find my other blogs, then cool. have at it. if you dont you want anything to do with me, thats fine too.

in other news .... for baizhu . he is a cis man but he is UNLABELED regarding his sexuality & prefers it that way . yes , he is explorative but has no time nor does he have a desire in sticking a label on himself . love is love for him :3

[baizhuo]

hi ! i said it before but i will say it again ! in lieu of pride month , that is ...

its insufferable of having to be babied constantly on just my sexuality alone but invalidating my concerns and chalking up my asexuality & mental health like it isn't a big deal is extremely damaging and toxic so please don't do it , thanks ^-^

also below IS a repost ( albeit slightly reworded ) but !!!

if you ( read : cis person ) fetishize trans people ( or non - cis people in general ) , know that i don't like you because you make me , a non - cis person who struggles to be taken seriously with their identity , very upset due to your ( maybe unintentional ) ignorance . you're not an ally , you're not being helpful . & i will not be welcome individuals like that here . this goes beyond real people too . if you fetishize it for your muses , that's just as bad , & you're still not an ally , you not trying to understand us . it's a poor excuse to feel like you're being inclusive .

also gender is not always overt . just because somebody looks or acts masculine or feminine may not always mean they identify that way .

another thing : it is never okay to use a derogatory term towards strangers in a very demeaning & patronizing way ( name calling to demonize somebody you barely know in general is wrong ) . the excuse , ' well i dont know them personally ' or ' i dont say that term to my friends ' , is not a valid answer . you are still a horrible , horrible person . & very stinky but not in a fun way .

dont be a shitty ally . its not fun when you force stuff like that . the purpose of pride is to make people feel comfortable & safe to come out when they are ready on their own terms . let people take their own steps . thanks !

another also .... perhaps a hot take but i do genuinely , honestly , and truly believe that cis characters and individuals are valid as well . the whole point of pride is to be accepting of everybody regardless of identity . everybody SHOULD be treated EQUALLY . nobody is neither above nor below another .

just thought i would share some thoughts . because i think it is very needed & necessary , and im tired of staying silent while i witness some .... less than desirable comments coming from some during pride of all times .

[baizhuo]

You like zhongzhu? What are some baizhu and zhongli hcs that you have?

its so unfortunate cause i went into depth about some very SOLID points and im just T^T so this is my second attempt to publish some zhongzhu rot i suppose .... but yes anon , i do actually adore zhongzhu very much ! a very close & good friend of mine - you know who you are 💚 - & i developed some pretty SOLID & wholesome dynamics with the two that i think i will never get over tbqh . they just .... FIT . you know ? anyway i think about them all the time .

~ if baizhu is having a long/bad day at work , then surely zhongli will have one as well . naturally baizhu tries to help all of his clients , no matter the case , but there are things that even he cannot save others from . it does weigh heavy on him , & it will be enough to show for zhongli . its the INSTANT response from zhongli AFTER he asks baizhu how his day was .... the ' how was your day ? ' followed by the immediate ' i see , i'll prepare the family then '. baizhu doesn't have to even say it , zhongli will know . i suppose in that regard .... they do seem to bouce/play off of one another .

~ contrary to popular belief , pharmacy & the funeral parlour do work oddly well together . while baizhu tends to AVOID director hu , zhongli & baizhu have some sort of unspoken agreement with one another . zhongli will be in charge of whomever baizhu redirects clients to . again , baizhu will try everything in his power to help another , but even he understands the limits & will know when it is time to prepare funeral rites . granted , the pharmacy will never use the parlour as AN option - rather its just the FINAL option . its better to live harmoniously than to have tense relations . zhongli makes it easier for baizhu to approach the parlour without incident . nobody is taking anybody in terms of clientele .

~ we had this joke that baizhu is the weed ( dendo ) & zhongli is the concrete ( geo ) . basically its the stubborn weed growing in the cracks of the cement . baizhu is certainly stubborn but its also refreshing . whereas zhongli is rather a bit more stable/unchanging but allows for the elements of nature to form and grow around him . either way , i think baizhu's take on life is just ... refreshing & different compared to others . its challenges ( sometimes defies ) which is somehow ALLURING all at the same time .

~ baizhu had hypothesised that zhongli was the late archon , morax , but chose not to dwell nor press/investigate further about it . why ? it just seemed like he didn't care about zhongli's status . but its rather because he isn't somebody that looks up to the archons in that way . while others would have probably dropped over and begged zhongli for something that he may or may not be able to give all cause he is an archon , baizhu doesnt .... SEEK the archons for any kind of gifts like that . rather ... baizhu is just going to go out and look for it himself , not ask the archons for an easy way out . thats the main reason why baizhu didn't press . but also because it wasn't his business either . when zhongli DOES finally tell him its a mix of ' i see . ' & an ' okay and ? ' . not that baizhu is UNCARING , he just simply sees zhongli as ZHONGLI . ( i mentioned before that baizhu does seem to humanise others ) . he doesn't really care much for titles or what have you .

~ baizhu brings something new to the relationship while zhongli is able to keep roots . one is young , one is old ( hypothetically speaking ) . one finds new ways & change , the other welcomes the change while still being old fashioned . its a clash of ages / generations , but they mix so very well with one another .

~ baizhu has prepared himself IN the case that the inevitable DOES come & he passes because of zhongli . rather .... i think he is slightly more at peace if he were to die because he understands & knws that zhongli will carry on his legacy / memory in a way that he would like ( apart from changsheng ) . in other words , baizhus fear of death , while still there , is not as severe BECAUSE of zhongli .

thats all i can think of at the moment tbh ... & also because its all i have for time but !!! i hope this hold you over in regards to zhongzhu food . im always more than happy to share my other thoughts whenever they come forward . all one has to do is ask :3
