I also think the reason why people aren’t really requesting Natlan characters is because I think some people have moved on from Genshin.
Personally I don’t think Natlan‘a archon quest is as terrible as others might think, though I will admit it has a lot of the same problems as Genshin’s writing kinda has always had to some degree.
Also I really like the Pyro archon. Having an Archon who isn’t completely useless, vague or antagonistic is a breath of fresh air.
Yup that's ALSO a factor at play that people quit the game- but a lot of them did BECAUSE of Natlan. At the same time some people quit games but still stay within the fandom (I do that for HSR cause the gameplay is shit but Luka, Himeko, Sampo and Tingyun/Fugue got my ass and I need to be updated on what happens to my bbgs)
And I agree the quest itself isn't terrible there are a lot of things about it that were good- my main issue is the dialogue itself was just not IT.
That and having a villain we didn't interact with- that kinda made it boring to me. Like okay let the random mobs spawn sure whatever I'll kill them. The part that only got me REALLY hooked was where we were against Capitano cause hell yeah: I want to interact with antagonists even if they end up joining the cause!
What they did very right tho was doing "show don't tell" with the corpses of fallen warriors and the map changes after the quests. Seeing that was more impactful than when in inazuma the war wasn't that visable and the most emotional impact was Teppei's death.
As to Mauvika herself, I like her. But then again she's not gonna be a character I think about. It's like this whole region has potential- they didn't use at all. It felt like everyone had a role, not that they were characters. Like Kachina and Ororon's role was for you to feel bad for them, Citlali was for you to make fun of her, Mauvika was there for you to admire her and list goes on. For joke characters like Ajaw it made sense for him to only have those quick scenes that don't do much to the story but the rest made me feel disconected.

Okay I'm done with Natlan and Citlali's quest
My opinion on Citlali improved slightly, but the rest... Ehhh... No. I'm not gonna say that Natlan was bad, cause ngl for me the most boring archon quest was Sumeru. (And I'm saying it because of the fact that the dream loop was ridiculous and I hated it just as much as I hate Nahida which is a ToN)
Spolier rant in tags
#they build up so much climax for it to just be... not engaging at all#although I do like that you had additional scenes if you did story quests!#but it's just like... the whole 'omg everyone is hyping up mc' has been done SO MANY TIMES across all the games it's so run down and BorinG#I much more liked it when everyone wasn't swooning over the traveler#when we could actually interact with antagonists/villains#and not have it be some entity and collection of monsters that randomly spawn#i miss when traveler wasn't getting everything on a silver platter cause of their reputation#like when literally everywhere we had to FIGHT for everyone's respect#and I'm shadowposting rn idc#someone on twt said something like 'clearly you haven't read Liyue and Mond in a while if you think that was any better than Natlan 🤓' and#let me say rn: I think that Natlan story is better than Sumeru- but that doesn't mean it was any good because I didn't like Sumeru story#Natlan dialogue was just filled with npc like souless dialogue. Either with character pampering the traveler#saying some 'deep thoughts' or having 'random xD' moments#hands down- if they didn't shut up Ajaw it'd be more fun. Ajaw is slaying and bitch is acting like a 4th grader#and still has more personality than everyone in the room combined#and if Citlali's drinking problem wasn't written off as a joke- I'd probably love her character more#and I'm not saying it because it's a cool thing to say to hate on a new thing. but I'm saying it because it's getting more and more bland#i really wanted to like natlan but it just didn't stick for me

Doing Natlan quest right now and honestly I really hoped these characters would be better
and the fact that nobody requests them makes me feel like I'm not the only one who thinks that xD (for example, the second fontaine was out I had requests with Fontaine characters- okay maybe not exactly but it's been a LOOONG while and I'm yet to see someone from natlan in my inbox)
rant in tags, not fully spoiler free
#im on the newest part rn and so far it feels like everyone is p much the same#citlali and kinich only stand out to me#rest is just 'for natlan!' and that's it.#I mean#I'm not saying they're REALLY like this and there is nothing else about them#but it's just that they don't give me anything cool to pay attention to#it's like their characters don't exist without their nation#and for an archon it's an okay thing#but for others? makes it kinda bland to read#OH and also when I said that citlali stands out the most?#I mean it in a bad way#REALLY bad way#I'm so disappointed in the direction they went with in her dialogue#and her drinking problem is handled VERY poorly and I hate how it's treated like a joke#I just wanted another cool old woman she WISHES she was Faruzan#I did also kinda delulu myself and made up my own citlali and that's why i pulled for her btw

Request of platonic between mother and son
Guizhong and reader
Summery short: long time ago when guizhong adopted y/n ans after long time he get some power that saved guizhong and made respect for zhongli since he wasn’t trust him unfortunately he dissappear after khaenri'ah and 500 years he return wonder if she and zhongli alive small reuinon and than once he go to find guizhong, she felt that y/n was back so she sing him lullaby that he was used to when he get scared or when he cry
Song: https://youtu.be/BB75ZCMX0GE?si=E3llcopXrKDbJY75
Thank you for your blessing (letting me write small guili crumbs into this)
But DAAAMN WE GOT GUIZHONG ANNON FAMILY FORMING! We got Ash annon (Guizhong's sibling) now you as the son :D
Guizhong reuniting with her son
Content includes: cannon divergence (Reader saves Guizhong during the archon war), Guizhong x Zhongli bits
Reader here is: Male
Ever since your disappearance Guizhong was desperately looking for you. She tried even making inventions to make it easier to find you.
And of course others had started looking for you as well. Zhongli among his duty as an archon found it still to use every second of his free time to search. Xianyun and Ping got other adepti to help as well.
However, a search party could only last so long before giving up hope. Ping was first who tried suggesting Guizhong to move on, she pretended to accept this... But everyone knew better on how she truly felt.
It was a dark time for her indeed. Nobody could calm her for she missed you too dearly.
The realm she created for you was left untouched, she locked it with a puzzle lock not even the wisest could solve and the mightiest could break.
Sometimes she would enter though, just to look at your belongings, sometimes hum you a lullaby; hoping you could hear it somehow...
Seeing her in such distress, Zhongli fully committed after announcing Morax's death. The deal with Tsaritsa was a perfect opportunity to get out of something that took up such portion of his time. Even if by that point he was just putting up appearances.
Nobody knew it was you who looked for them as well. As many Khaenr'iah survivors you were trying to find your way. You wondered how long had passed... If your mother was still well...
The realm of the abyss was dark, or was it a domain? You had no idea. You were weak and surrounded by enemies wherever you went.
You tried to find your way, not really knowing how the time was passing. After a lot of time and effort you finally made it out so now it was time to head to Liyue.
The path felt familiar, but it felt different- you could tell a lot of things had changed... But you only looked for your way home.
With each step a familiar melody slowly started to bless your ears. You ran towards the source of the sound and that's where she was...
When she saw you she couldn't believe it, it took only a moment before happy tears came down like waterfalls and she pulled you closely to embrace you, feeling like if she were to let go you'd disappear again.
While sobbing she continues the lullaby, and as she calmed down she stopped. Suddenly feeling protective she started checking if you weren't hurt. You may be all grown up now but it won't stop her from worrying.
She was all over the place with her emotions but still found it in her to listen to you. She was so glad you were okay... Overjoyed even.
During your reunion Zhongli noticed you two, although you've never really been too close... After you saved Guizhong he noticably gotten softer on you. And that was confirmed once again once he joined the family group hug.
As the others were notified of your return- you got pretty much the same overprotective behavior from Xianyun, who also checked if you were okay and insisted she holds a feast in your name... Which made Guizhong competitive and started thinking of more ways to welcome you back.
A lot has changed during your time away... But the way everyone cared about you didn't.
Now it was time to properly catch up with everyone on everything... 500 years sure left a lot of gaps to fill... And quite frankly more songs your mother could sing to you.

Heya! Your writing looks pretty nice hehe! Don't mind me asking for something a little special!
How about Yandere!Kujou Sara with a shy, timid reader? Perhaps the reader is scared of her at first, but once they start to slowly open up, she starts getting endeared and attached? I hope you have fun with this idea!
I did have a lot of fun with it. I didn't exactly see Sara as a possible yandere type until I started thinking of this scenario- even though I think I could do it better. I just can't tell what would I need to change to be honest.
Yandere! Sara with a timid S/O
Cw: manipulation
Reader here is: Gender neutral
Disclaimer: everything in purple text is Sara's narrative so these notes especially aren't meant to be taken seriously. This is not healthy. This entire scenario isn't showing a healthy relationship. Nor is it gloryfing it.
At first she didn't pay any attention to you. Your lives bearly ever crossed and you liked it that way. She was... A bit terrifying.
Her cold glare, her strictness. It was just hard to see past it. It's like she was allergic to smiling.
But fate has it that it likes to mess around. Things changed, slightly but they did either way.
You were helping a friend out run a stall during a festival. It was pretty hard for you given how you didn't want to interact with people.
Luckily, you didn't have to do much around the customers... Until your friend went to take a break.
You were all by yourself. Eventually you were yelled at by a customer and just as luck would have it- Sara was passing by.
Seeing that person cause a ruckus she stopped that person without even second of hesitation.
She was your hero, and you couldn't thank her enough. The way you held onto her hand shaking, your eyes avoiding hers as if she'd turn you into stone if you dared to look... It was captivating.
There was just something in the way you acted. She couldn't put a finger on why was that... But she wanted to feel that again. Even if it meant placing you in an uncomfortable situation once more.
She started following you. You were unaware of it but your gut told you something was off. Your friends dismissed it as you being too paranoid and that nothing was wrong.
And they were right to think that, after all she was only looking out for you. In time, you'll see that. It was normal for Sara to walk around Inazuma so any place you "accidentally" bumped into her felt natural.
Eventually you started interacting more with each save. Her black wings almost looked like that of an angel to you. She was happy when you started to actually talk... Even if neither of you knew what to talk about exactly. But it was fine as long as you looked only at her.
Whenever you smiled at her she felt things unlike any other... But she liked whenever she made you feel safe much more. She wanted you to rely on her.
She loved feeling useful. You had to have her by your side or else you wouldn't know how to function.
She was attached to a point where she took you everywhere. She didn't want to be away for even a moment. At first you just thought it was because of the fact that you freshly started dating... But it was only partly the reason.
You didn't want to see her wrongs. You were so focused on the times she helped you, you didn't think about how toxic she was becoming. Then again, how is keeping you safe toxic? Sure sometimes she overreacted but that's because she loved you.

I loved your Mona review! Can you do another character review for Layla? She's just as pretty as Mona to me and sadly very forgotten about, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on her!
I completely forgot I had it in... But to be honest I didn't know how to answer then when I first saw it but w/e with my long response time!
What do I think of Layla?
Of course I'm starting with design and I'm not kidding when I say this is my FAVORITE design from Sumeru- fully VISUALLY speaking because I'm not an expert on cultures, I don't even know what she's supposed to represent. Therefore this isn't speaking about accuracy, just the feel of the design.
Her pallette is really pleasing to the eye, but I do wish her splash was more similar to her model (talking about the eyes). I love how she looks far more tired in the model cause ehh... Splash is just her being slightly dazed.
I wish her hair was just short but then we wouldn't have these great animations- and yes I completely adore her animations. The way she's so clumsy with her sword, the shooting star at the end of her rotation, and falling asleep when you're afk after using a shield are just brilliant. Like hell yes!!! This girl eepy!!!
As for her personality... Well she's pretty forgettable to me. I don't hate her but to me she's just not as interesting. It's just a character I pity constantly- but that's also not a good way for a character to be.
But I do like her alter much more. She made those hangouts more interesting. Even if I don't remember every detail these hangouts gave me a really good impression. I remember them fondly. Despite me liking her alter more though, my favorite ending is where Layla yells at the top of a mountain, it was a great moment not gonna lie.
So, if I were to put how much I like her in numbers, I think a 6/10 is a pretty solid rating.

(late) Christmas miracle 😱
I might actually be back to writing.
Well, kind of. I have a few drafts going, deleted some I know I'll have trouble finishing.
But the thing is: I'd really like to write more for guys! (Baizhu, Kaeya and Itto especially because I've been mostly doing stuff for myself featuring these three with my ocs and my brain is still rotating them). I know I've said it before, and I know I'll probably have to keep mentioning it but really- I want to make content for variety of characters
I know most of my followers are here for the ladies- and I absolutely hear you, like I said I've been working on the requests on the side for a while but they're not ready yet.
#genshin impact x reader#kaeya x reader#wriothesley x reader#neuvilette x reader#Baizhu x reader#Itto x reader#Diluc x reader#kinich x reader#Alhaitham x reader#cyno x reader#ayato x reader#Kaveh x reader#thoma x reader#Zhongli x reader#xiao x reader

Variable barricade Rabi extras!
This is probably not going to work as I wish it would because: yep. It's a request thing. I had a few scenes planned but they ended up way too short and I KNOW that in game they're supposed to be short and well... It was even shorter than that.
How do Rabi requests work?
Pick characters and topic of conversation- remember that reader cannot be involved in the conversation! They can talk about her but she can't be in the scene! To not confuse me, please use 🐰 emoji at the end of your ask so I can be SURE you've actually read it.
That's it! May it fight my writer block 🙏

Variable Barricade crossover!
We're so back!!! Kinda. Who knows? Not me! I've had it almost done for like a month but I just felt so unmotivated it was kinda sad because I still really like working on this 😔
If you want to join the taglist just send an ask or dm me!
Reader here is female and has established background
Cw: Age gap (Reader is 18 and the ladies are ages 20-24) |First chapter| <= Previous chapter (Miko's route)
No matter how much time had passed, you still can't bring yourself to trust the four suitors. You don't feel like any of them are taking you seriously. Turns out, Ayaka has rather interesting connections and they're more than happy to help you out.
But now your problem is dealing with an even more obnoxious group…
Part two: chapter 1- The gang is here.
Waiting around for Ayaka is sometimes the most tiresome time of your day. A lot of students approach you and all that polite smalltalk is just so exhausting. You just managed to get to your classroom, but someone unexpected approached you. It was Kuki Shinobu, you never really talked. But how much you wish that wasn't the case. She seemed so… cool.
"Good morning L/N. I was just told to tell everyone that we don't have a homeroom today" she explained and as you looked at her you wanted to talk to her more.
"Good morning Shinobu, thank you very much for the information" you were pretty happy. Even though it was a pretty basic conversation if you can even call it that.
There was something inside you that wanted to speak with her just for even a little bit longer, but you didn't even know what you'd bring up with her. In the end you stayed silent.
That is until Ayaka showed up.
"Good morning Y/N. How was your weekend?" she had that look that made it clear that she will be a little nosy "You promised to take it more seriously, so how is the suitor situation going for you?"
"I went on a date" you weren't sure if what you did could even count as a date… but maybe that was enough for Ayaka. You already told her enough about what happened between you and Miko so maybe she won't be mad about you staying in the same spot once again.
"Can I ask who was the lucky lady?" her looking so happy to have you progress made you rather guilty for getting her hopes up.
"Well, all of us watched a movie together, does that count?"
"So I'm guessing you were only spending time with them as a group besides that incident with Miko?" Ayaka sighed as both of you already knew the answer for that "You have no idea how that lack of your romantic spirit worries me…"
"I did spend some time with them separately too, but it's nothing worth mentioning"
"Alright then, let's do it a little bit differently. Can you tell me how you view your future with them? After all, whoever you choose will end up being your wife so you need to think about it in that way" she pointed out with a hopeful tone.
"I think I can do that" you know that Ayaka isn't the type to push it, but at the same time you just don't want to see her so disappointed.
"Let's start with Miko, what do you think being married to her would be like?"
"Miko hm..? Well, she has her charms. But she only ever sees how someone can entertain her. So I'd be more her jester than her wife" you could definitely see how she'd just mock you in your everyday life, of course she'd also have her good moments… but being married to her would just be a constant humiliation.
"I see, perhaps she wants to help you be more self-aware?…" she tried to play devil's advocate, but you weren't going to accept that.
"Do you truly believe so?" your question made her drop it.
"Let's just move on, what about Ningguang?"
"She seems serious enough… but at the same time I feel like this is just a test to her. Like she wants to prove something to herself… I'm not entirely sure how she'll act like once she does complete her goal" she does seem little competitive about the whole thing. So you wouldn't be surprised to find out that it was all about reaching a goal and not about the "reward".
"When I talked to her she gave me an impression that she's genuinely interested" she wasn't surprised by your skeptical approach by now.
"Well, I disagree" you knew you were stubborn. But you couldn't be too stubborn about something as important as this.
"And Yelan? You mentioned that she's sweet to you" she was really trying to get you to agree on at least one thing.
"That's true but, it doesn't seem like this is care in a romantic sense. It might sound a little weird but she's sort of acting more like a guardian angel?" You couldn't find a different word. While you appreciate her taking your feelings to account you just can't help but think that it's more of a pity thing.
"That still sounds pretty romantic. She's like your knight in shining armor" she tried to lighten up the mood and help you think of it differently.
"It's not what I said" you correct her, even though you know what she was trying to do.
"My apologies, I was just trying to help you see it even just a little bit differently. Then I suppose it's time for me to ask about Eula"
"I can't read her at all. She snaps at me often and I get a feeling that she doesn't even want to be here" but you can't help but wonder just how and when did she meet your grandfather.
"Maybe much like you, she's the type to keep her feelings to herself. She doesn't have to have a reason"
"Yeah, gaining back status and money sounds about right" now that you thought about it you could definitely see it. She did lose everything and an opportunity like a marriage with you would set her back to a wealthy lifestyle, minus the expectations since as your spouse she wouldn't have to do literally anything.
Ayaka sighed at that "If that's how you see it" she paused for a moment "But I think I have an idea as to what we could do… if you're willing to accept some help"
"What is it?" you're honestly scared to ask… but surely Ayaka wouldn't hide much from you?
"I think it's better if you see for yourself. Let's go to our usual spot after school, okay?" Nevermind. You just have to leave this to your imagination.
-
All those classes you had to go through were making you quite the wreck. What did Ayaka mean? How much are you going to regret agreeing?
The two of you are sitting in your favorite cafeteria "So… are you going to tell me what are you plotting?"
"I'm not plotting anything, I just asked a friend to help you out" she looked proud to admit that and you decided not to comment.
You waited in silence, each time a girl entered you wondered if she was that friend but turns out that they were strangers.
That is until a girl wearing a facemask came in. Once she looked at Ayaka and then you, she turned around to leave and that's when Ayaka followed after her to stop her.
She had her hair tied in a very specific way, her eyes looked very intimidating but you couldn't shake off the feeling of familiarity when you looked at her.
"I should've known it was about her" the girl rolled her eyes when Ayaka tried to stop her from leaving.
"You promised to lend us our aid, please…" she pleaded.
"Ugh, fine. But don't you dare tell anyone about this" the girl had a very annoyed tone.
"Hello, I assume that you already know me..?" you enter the conversation.
"Y/N don't you recognize her?"
"There's no point in playing the guessing game" she sighed "I'm Kuki Shinobu"
When she said that, it was almost like just now your brain registered even knowing someone with that name. She looked so… different.
"Oh- I'm sorry for not recognizing you" apologizing you take a closer look, although she did look completely different you really should've noticed that it was her…
"Don't be, not being recognized is my goal after all" she shrugged.
"Right." now you feel even more like an idiot…
"So, Ayaka, what did you bring me here for?" Shinobu was quick to put everything back on track.
"Oh, I just wanted you to help Y/N with her suitors. You spend so much time on dates and all, I figured you'd be able to give her any advice"
"I'm not as experienced as you make me out to be. But alright, I'll help out. It's just so you won't tell anyone about my secret though"
"I'm grateful for your help regardless!" you didn't mean to sound so excited about that… but just the idea of getting a new ally/friend is what makes you this way. But that's just a hunch…
"Okay…" she sounded slightly weirded out by your enthusiasm "So, what's the problem exactly?"
"It's a bit tough to explain" you try to gather your thoughts. I mean, there is a lot you could say here. This whole situation is nothing but problems…
"I can already tell you're thinking too hard about this. I get it, it's about marriage after all. But if you don't have any trust in them and you don't plan on doing anything about it… then there's no reason for you- or them- to waste time if what you're looking for is something serious" she paused "Then again, they really must be taking you seriously if they agreed to potentially marry you so quickly"
Those words were like a trigger… That's it! The main issue (now) is that you don't know if they're thinking of you so seriously! "You're right Shinobu! I need to check just how serious they are about me!"
"That's not what I meant…" Shinobu sighed
"But how do I do that..?" You pause for a second but Shinobu takes that for an opportunity to say something "But what about you? Do YOU take them seriously?"
"Huh..?" You were surprised by the question, of course you did… at least you treated them better than they do you… right?
"She might be onto something" Ayaka looked at you "Think about it, we need a way to both let you see them in different light- while also help you see if they care about you"
"Why do you insist on making this so complicated…" Shinobu looked defeated over how much you were scheming "Alright, before you get any crazy ideas let's settle for this. We'll see how they'd react if someone were to hit on you"
"Hit on me..?" You looked at her.
"Not me. I'm not exactly best at acting something like that out when I don't mean it" she shrugged.
"I think that's a great idea, of course only if Y/N will be willing to execute it"
The idea of some stranger hitting on you wasn't something you'll agree on so easily "Hold on just a moment!" your protest was loud and clear "If not you… then who?"
"A friend of mine" she doesn't elaborate.
"Are you going to tell me more or..?"
"You'll see when he gets here. So, are you willing to agree to this or not?" A guy will help you out..? So not only a stranger but some guy will hit on you? Then again if he's a friend of Shinobu he might not be so bad…
"Alright. Fine. Let's do it…"
After that Shinobu got in contact with the mysterious guy. Meanwhile you contacted Thoma so he can prepare some excuse to call them over one by one. He didn't exactly like the idea but at the same time he knew that it'd help you feel more at ease… so he decided to help.
-
The three of you were first waiting for Shinobu's friend before you started contacting the suitors. You didn't have to wait long but as you heard someone call out to her you were quite surprised by the sight.
The dude was very tall and had rather intimidating attire, if not for his friendly smile as he approached you three you probably wouldn't want this guy anywhere near you. He offered his hand for you to shake and said "Hey! Name's Arataki Itto- the one and oni leader of the Arataki gang ready to help out!" he was full of energy… wait did he say gang??
"I'm Y/N, and this is Ayaka" you shook his hand gently.
"Shinobu filled me in and I'll say it right now I don't like the idea of making you uncomfortable. BUT a friend of Shinobu is a friend of the gang and for friends of the gang we move mountains if that's needed! So if I need to act like a jerk, you'll get a 5 star performance!" His loud voice was slowly starting to overwhelm you a little.
You definitely had to ask more about the gang. You can't allow yourself to be associated with a bunch of criminals "Say… about this gang-"
"It's just how he likes to call our friend group" Shinobu cut in before Itto got to respond. As true as it was, it definitely offended him a little on how she put it. However, her being straightforward with it gave you quite the relief.
"How about we start calling them over?" Ayaka changed the topic and that's exactly what you did.
-
First to be called over was Ningguang. When you looked over at Itto his demeanor changed from friendly to one that made you cringe on the spot… but to be honest any man flirting with you would make you feel that way.
His words just went over your head. Even if your short interaction made it clear that he wasn't a jerk, you couldn't help feeling uncomfortable which almost made him break his character.
But he didn't have any opportunity to slip as Ningguang pulled you away from him, confusing the two of you.
She just walked off, hugging your arm and leading the way “This way, it's more crowded there and we'll lose the guy in no time” she said calmly, she was actually surprised Itto didn't follow after you, but it was just getting rid of the problem altogether. It took you a moment to speak up “Thanks Ningguang… but uhm…” now it was for the awkward part… after being “saved” it was time to explain it “This was a test”
“A test you say?” she raised her eyebrow “Well, how did I do?” by the look on her face, you really couldn't tell what was she thinking of your deception.
“You did… well I suppose” you answer without really thinking about it.
“We're heading back to test the rest, I assume?” she started to lead the way back, with a nod you followed her in silence.
-
Second one that was put to a test was Eula. When you gave Itto the sign, his act was up once again the moment you saw Eula. This time his act was a little bit too convincing or Eula was too pissed to even stop and think… when she walked up to him she didn't hesitate to twist his arm “Can't you see that she isn't interested? Looks like someone has to teach you some manners-”
“Eula wait!” you interrupt “It's all an act!” upon hearing that, she released poor Itto from her grip “Hmpf! Joking about a matter like that is unforgivable” she crossed her arms as she glared at the both of you.
“Sorry!” both you and Itto speak at the same time.
“Why are you apologizing?” Shinobu joins in the conversation after leaving her hiding place with Ayaka and Ninguangg “It was part of the plan”
“Hm? And who are you?” Eula turns to Shinobu “and what are you doing here?” she looks over at one of her rivals.
“I'll handle things from here, call over the next suitor” Shinobu said as she led Eula out back to the hiding place.

Now you only need to wait for Miko… who probably is suspicious of something by now. And Itto now knows that he can pretty much expect anything… so he only hopes Miko’s approach will NOT end like Eula’s.
Upon hearing Itto’s comments she just smirked “Hello, darling” she ignored the big guy “My, my to think I'd catch you flirting, with a man no less” she clicked her tongue “And here I thought we were supposed to take each other seriously” you could feel how fake the hurt in her voice was, but even though you were aware of it… you recognized how it must look to her “Miko- wait…”
“Oh I'm not going anywhere, but we will talk about this later” she smirked “You still have to test Yelan, don't you? Where am I supposed to wait?”
Without talking much about it you showed her the way to the rest.
-
And last was Yelan. Itto didn't notice her as she stood behind him. She gave you a questioning look, almost as if she tried to ask without using the words “Is that guy bothering you” but she was pretty subtle about it compared to other women. But it was pretty obvious that you didn't want someone- a man no less, hitting on you. From the look on her face it was clear that she could tell that something was off about the situation but she finally spoke up “Can I help you with something, sir?” She placed her hand on his shoulder, remembering how his arm got twisted last time, he moved out of the way immediately.
“... Did one of us do something to that poor guy?” She held back a laugh “Either way, I hope you're okay” she was clearly talking to the both of you before she spotted the others and you joined the group.
-
After everything you start all going your way home, but you quickly go to stop Shinobu (, Ayaka and Itto) who moved in the opposite direction “Wait a moment!”
“Do you need something?”
“I was wondering…” you trail off “would you mind if we… talked more often?”
For a second she didn't reply, her silence was making you nervous on top of the fact that you asked something like that near witnesses. But before your anxiety claimed you she finally responded “Sure, but avoid talking to me in school, alright?”
“huh, why?” The spectator- Itto asked the question for you.
“I just don't like attention. And with someone as popular as you people would start talking before we even know it. So either avoid me completely or only talk to me through text” she explained, she didn't seem thrilled with the aspect of being your friend but that just might be because you can't read her emotions too well due to her mask.
“Sure thing! You won't hear a word from me then” you quickly affirm her and go your way for your driver to pick you up before Thoma gets too worried about your absence.
After you were out of hearing radius Ayaka started a conversation “What do you think of her suitors?”
“I definitely don't want to get on their bad side again…” Itto looked at his hand, remembering Eula's strong grip.
“They seem normal enough… but what I think of them is irrelevant” Shinobu decided to not say anything more, however she didn't say everything that's on her mind.
“I see” Ayaka had a slightly suspicious tone. But she knows that's a conversation for later.
-
Next time you were in school you were still thinking about Shinobu… was she really someone who considered herself your friend? She helped you, sure but if not for Ayaka you don't think she'd give it much consideration if any. Yet you can't help but feel joyous about having another ally. You wanted to talk to her… but you must remember your promise and not be overly clingy. Not like you can even consider looking for her considering you couldn't see her around.
Your phone buzzed suddenly, you look down and see a text from Shinobu “Come to the cafeteria” is all it said. Weren't you supposed to avoid each other? Or better yet, isn't the cafeteria supposed to be closed right now? With those questions in mind you make your way over there and sure enough the doors were open.
“How did you-”
“I said I left something important so they gave me the keys. And that wasn't actually a lie. I didn't want to carry it around so…” she went to retrieve a backpack that was neatly hidden behind the curtains.
“What's inside?”
“A gift, it's a prototype- but… I think you could use something like that”
“A bunny?” You tilt your head as you look at something that looks like a little mascot.
“It's something my family company is developing- we call it Rabi. It might look like a toy but it has plenty of features. Give me your phone so I can install the app” as you waited for it, Shinobu began a bit more detailed explanation “Since you're so anxious about what are your suitors up to, Rabi will basically record whatever you're missing out on”
“Isn't this… kind of wrong? I may not trust them but that doesn't make it okay to invade their privacy”
“It's up to you how or if you'll use it. Besides, you can always just make it record the living room or something”
“Okay but how do I explain… this to everyone?”
“It's a toy from the looks of it. You really don't have to think too hard about this. Just say it's a robot animal and that'll be all they need to know”
“... Why are you even helping me?” You felt dumb for asking so many questions at once but you couldn't help but be curious.
“I do it because I know that otherwise Ayaka won't let me hear the end of it” despite her harsh words her tone didn't match it due to how soft it was. It was clear to you now that you can count on her as a friend. But the whole thing with Rabi… it still feels a bit wrong.
“Do you really think I should-” before you finish the sentence you got cut off.
“Whether you use it is up to you. You can use the functions or just turn it off and put it up in your room as decoration.” she paused “Besides, you're too nice to them. They're pretty much strangers to you so you don't owe them any bit of trust”
“Okay but… how do I use it?”
“It's very beginner friendly” after she saw that the app was done downloading she started to explain some of the basics functions, just in case.
-
Once you came back home with your new companion the suitors looked quite surprised. None of them asked questions though, their silence made you feel awkward so you just told them everything yourself “It's a robot pet okay? I got it as a gift so don't mess around with it!” You cross your arms after placing Rabi on the ground “It's programmed to take walks around the house so don't mind it” without letting them chime in you walked back to your room.
As you sat down on your bed you looked through Rabi’s eyes. The video quality could use some work but at least the sound was good.
“What do you think about our new roommate?” Miko teased “I'm glad it isn't an actual rabbit” she stretched on the couch.
“She really does find new ways to surprise us, doesn't she?” Yelan looked directly at the robot “What do you think? Hidden camera or something?” When she said that you could feel your heart beating faster, there's no way she'd figure it out so soon!
“I rather believe that she trusts us” Ningguang defended you… which made you slightly more guilty about the camera actually being there.
The women didn't speak much more about the new companion, you put your phone away and laid back down.
As you thought back on all recent events you could hear the robot walking just outside your room. Letting it inside you took time to examine it a bit more. It was just… so cute. You couldn't fight the urge to play with it for a moment.
But your playtime was over as soon as you heard your doors opening, it was Thoma but you didn't feel any less embarrassed about being caught.
“That's an interesting gift…” his warm smile didn't make you feel any less dumb.
“I got it from Shinobu, she was helping me out the other day… and well, this gift is a form of help too”
“Hm? How so?”
“Well… it records things… I just… can't help but still feel anxious!” Upon your confession, Thoma let out a soft chuckle.
“I'm glad you're looking out for yourself, but trust me- if they done or said something I think you should know- I'd tell you”
“I know, but you really can't be around the house all day. I know you wouldn't keep anything from me”
“Alright, enough about that- I'm more curious about Shinobu anyways. How did you get to know her?”
“Ayaka introduced us”
“I see… we're talking about Kuki Shinobu- right?”
You only nod but you can't help but feel a little suspicious of how his tone slightly shifted as he asked about your new friend.
“She sounds like a nice person, giving you such a thoughtful gift and all…” he trailed off, he didn't know her so of course he tried to bait you into telling him a bit more without him having to ask directly.
“That was very nice of her, although I can't really tell what she's really thinking… I'm glad to have made a new friend”
“Alright, that's all I wanted to ask. I'm sorry for barging in before. I'll leave you to whatever you were up to” he pats Rabi for a moment before leaving, returning your embarrassment from before.
-
As Thoma walked downstairs he started looking for more information about Shinobu. He picked up his phone and made a call.
“Hey there, it's me again… I just wanted to ask for a quick background check if that's okay with you?... Kuki Shinobu, and please make it quick if you can”
Unknown to Thoma, Eula heard every last word. As he turned around he put on his polite face “Is something wrong, Miss Lawrence?”
“The way you're acting, actually. You better stop that before she hates you” she warns him.
“Thanks for the advice but, I'm just doing what a good butler should”
“You sure sound convinced of it” she shot him a judgemental glare, but it didn't phase him in the slightest.
“Calm down now, I'm just looking out for her” as the tension started to rise another voice was heard from a distance “Eula, could you come here for a second?” Miko called for her.
“Go on now, surely you don't want to keep her waiting” Thoma said to Eula who didn't look like she was going to leave… but after a moment however she scoffs and leaves the hall, allowing Thoma to continue his research.
He just didn't want anything to happen to you…

Hey there! Can you do a character review for Mona? I think one of the prettiest girls in the game deserves some more love!
Okay since this formatting is different than writing I'm sorry to everyone who's waiting for requests but- this kind of stuff is basically a bait let me ramble so I don't have to do much thinking here!
What do I think of Mona?
You're very right about her being one of the prettiest girls. Her design is just on POINT. I think in her case all the "revealing" aspect is actually done so well I don't view it as over sexualized which is one of bigger issues in the game: BUT I think she'd look so much cuter with a skirt or making her suit into a dress. And I must repeat- CUTER not BETTER. Her visuals are gorgeous and everything about her is just perfect. The red accents on her clothes are just in the best shade, stars everywhere which I can approve of, her design has just so much personality! As for her redesign... yeah...
ANYWYAYS- Her animations for a character so old are just amazing. The way her movement feels so SMOOTH like water is perfect!
As for her character? Fucking love that girl so much and my hatred for Paimon started stacking like crazy after I done Mona's quest. But this is about me loving Mona and not hating Paimon so I'm not elaborating here- let's dig in further!
As a character Mona is just so charming whenever she appears, she's not a filler that adds nothing but she does add quite a lot of fun bits to the story. Hydro enjoyer that I am I love her sense of justice, ethics of her work and how she deals with everything is just grabbing on my heart with how complicated her character is.
Her lines about the others are also such a cute detail of her telling their fortunes! MOND OC HAVERS CAN REALLY HAVE THEIR FUN HERE FOR STORY-TELLING (it's me, I'm the mond oc haver that really wants to write fortunes for them)
She's both a girlboss and a girlfailure, she is BALANCED. She does some cool shit while also having a bit more bad moments- BUT I WISH the fandom would stop with using her JUST as a joke about being broke or something. I wish more people (in the fandom) viewed her like Layla does! The archipelago domain with her was just my fave part ever. Not only the lines but the puzzles were so fun to do! It was also totally gorgeous!
I for sure wish she appeared in the Mondstadt archon quest... (was she even there? I don't remember. It felt like it was just about the knights + Diluc)
Either way, if I were to give her a rating on how much I like her I'd give her good 7.5/10!

hi! gonna be kind of angsty but can you write shenhs x fem reader scenario in modern au where she meets the readers family for the first time and tjey are really homophobic so they are anxious but after getting to know her they end up liking her? or if too complicated how she would defend yn from homophobes or smth like that?? i hope this is okay and have a nice day!!!
I hope I did it well! I really didn't expect a prompt like that but it was definitely interesting to explore
ALSO FUCK HOYO GIVE ME HER RERUN!!! I'd sooner finish the crossover chapter than we will get her rerun fr.
[modern AU] Shenhe meeting S/O's family
Reader here is female
Cw: homophobia
Shenhe never understood why you'd be anxious about her meeting your parents. After all everything went so well with her mom she didn't think there could be a problem.
Truth is, you never told your family about dating a woman, and you had no clue how they'd react.
Now that you think about it maybe it would've been better if you told your parents about it... At least you would've known where you stand instead of worrying about their reaction.
At least you could've cancelled it before it was too late.
Still, there was no use getting worried about it now. You were on your way and felt beyond anxious.
Noticing that, Shenhe held your hand in attempt to comfort you. It wasn't exactly helping in of itself, but it's the thought that counts.
When the big reveal came you felt awful when you saw the look of disapproval on your parents' faces. Nobody said a thing, but you knew already that they're going to talk later.
The atmosphere was hostile, they were being passive aggressive- honestly you'd prefer if they just kicked you out on the spot but for some twisted reason they kept it going.
Shenhe chose to ignore their provocations and despite everything she managed to turn the conversation quite well...
You were actually impressed on how her blunt nature fixed the hostility. What you thought will be a nightmare turned into a pleasant evening.
Of course Shenhe somehow having a pleasant conversation with your parents didn't automatically mean they accepted you being with a woman. Before you left they had a little chat with you about that and they made it clear that they still don't approve of you.
You avoided the topic altogether with them, ignoring whatever they were trying to stir between you and her. You pretended like she didn't exist- rather than she was a friend whenever your family wanted to bait you into talking about her.
That gave them hope that you broke up. But you didn't. And one time as you mentioned it to Shenhe's mom, Xianyun was furious.
She wished to go to your parents herself and give them a piece of her mind. But, she didn't do that.
Instead she had a talk with her daughter. She believed it wasn't an issue she should get involved in (yet.) and that it was up to Shenhe to make things right.
But before she even attempted to even think about her mother's elaborate plan she talked to you. Basically asking about how you feel about all this.
It was a bit awkward conversation, but one important to be had. She knew now just how much your parents' behavior hurt you, and she wasn't going to let that continue.
Without your knowledge she talked to them herself. She was determined and stood her ground for the both of you. And... She was as convincing as she was threatening.
Did it make your parents accept it? For now, absolutely not. But at the very least you wouldn't have to worry about their comments or subtle requests that you change yourself.
Maybe one day, things will change and your relationship with your parents will get better, no matter what though you absolutely can count on Shenhe whenever you need her.
