honkai star rail text message template

heres an example image:

and heres the link!

be respectful and have fun!

Under the cut, all info about three important characters from the credits (in case you didn't have the time to read them properly)

[ra404]

I kind of ship Robin and Acheron. Both dedicated to bringing hope to the hopeless. Both believing in the intrinsic value of life. Both purple.

But Acheron, as a "puppet of nihility," is not allowed to walk on the hallowed and illuminated stage, while Robin is trapped on the stage. Oni x angel imagery. Ms. Stoic, Can-sever-a-dream-with-a-single-slash-of-her-blade Samurai and Ms. Pastel Princess Popstar. It has everything.

Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender

let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

[ra404]

Look, after Furina's reveal Arlecchino's opinion of her is totally flipped. Furina is not a selfish and superfluous goddess anymore but a extremely brave, talented, and determined human that was able to trick the heavenly principles by sheer power of will.

Arle wants to get closer but, despite her handsome appearance, Arlecchino got 0 rizz. Any attempt of flirting just scares the shit out of Furina.

We are all used to girlfail Furina. What about girlfail Arlecchino.

archons ft. reincarnation (part 2)

venti, zhongli, raiden ei x gn!reader

summary: it’s difficult to find a balance between grieving you and loving you, but somehow, they make it work.

word count: 5.8k

note: as requested by an anon, here’s part two of archons ft. reincarnation! a bit more lighthearted compared to the first part, but still plenty of angst around *side-eyes venti’s part* and i am once again being biased by giving ei the happiest ending

warning/s: spoilers for venti’s story quest, brief descriptions of past character death (reader), angst, read part one first for more context!

part one

VENTI

“What do you think of the Anemo Archon?”

“Lord Barbatos?” you ask, and Venti tries to ignore the way his heart leaps at the sound of his name on your lips, but it’s difficult to do so when you’re sitting there looking at his statue with the same wistful look you used to don as you spoke about freedom. It warms his heart to know that you associate freedom with him.

You turn your head away from the visage of the Anemo Archon, placing your hands behind your head and laying down the palms of his statue. The sight is endearing, once he considers how your roles have changed. Before, it was him who fit snugly in the palm of your hands. How the tables have turned. How he wishes it never did.

“I think he’s a bit overrated.”

Your words singlehandedly snap him out of his reverie. So absurd and surprising coming from you that a laugh escapes before he can stop it.

He knows he should probably be offended or something, but Venti agrees with you. He is a little overrated. Who knew sleeping for hundreds of years on end could make a person like him so revered? Perhaps Morax should take a leaf from his book.

Here is a couple snippets from the current works I'm attempting to finish on!

Teasers' fandoms from first to last (total of five teasers :3):

- Honkai: Star Rail - The Legend of Zelda - Genshin Impact

-----------------------------Honkai: Star Rail------------------------------

Look, it’s not like Qingque wasn’t aware of it. She knew she was lazy, and that she did the bare minimum to survive. Whether it was to spite her family, who put unrealistic expectations on her back for decades, or simply because she just did not want to bother, she did only what was required of her. But seeing Fu Xuan as sick as she was, with the amount of worry she felt through her words, it made her feel a little bit silly about it all. Maybe… maybe for now, if not just for a little while, Qingque could actually work hard and try to ease the burden that her Boss would deal with when she comes back. A simple act of kindness from employee to Master Diviner, nothing more and nothing less. The hard beating in her heart, treacherous as always, suggested otherwise.

<~o~>

"A pair of hands wrapped around her own, and Firefly looked back towards Robin, startled, while gentle eyes stared back. "..Hey. Thank you for keeping me company. If I may ask, what’s your name?" The hunter’s mind blue-screened at that. No way that the Robin was asking for her name. This was some sort of fever dream right? She completely forgot that this was, indeed, a dream, but it didn’t make it any less real. "...F-Firefly, Miss Robin. It’s really no trouble, really, I-I just saw you in pain and wanted to help, you don’t need to thank me-"

<~o~>

“Can’t say I disagree, but I’m.. happy for them,” she sighed again, cracking her knuckles and leaning back into the comfy couch chair that seemed to be March’s second bed these days. Silver Wolf closed her eyes, and continued. “I love games, and it is hard for me to try and put them down. They’ve been my passion for as long as I’ve been able to walk and understand a computer screen. The way I see it, what Kafka and Sam and Blade all see on your friends is something like that. Love for something… or someone, in this case, that is so strong that they can’t seem to let it go. Someone who gives them hope and meaning, even after all the regrets and struggles they’ve all had.” Huh… that made sense. March… never really thought about it that way. Okay, now she feels a little bad… “Do you have something like that?” March froze at that, staring into her hands with regret. ---------------------------The Legend of Zelda---------------------------- And then, there was the Wildling. She had first seen him stumbling between the trees in the Lost Woods, curiosity peaking as she watched this young man, completely naked save for a pair of boxers, running around the sacred woods like a headless chicken. She wasn’t sure why, but the urge to adopt him grew with each second. It was silly, sure, but could you blame her? The little Hero was completely lost, unable to do anything but try and run around and get sent back to the beginning, like a child exploring a new environment and getting the grip of things. At first, Fi decided to let him figure it out. She had faith that the spirit of the Hero would guide him in the right direction towards the Korok Forest.

It was after three hours that her patience began to run thin. She tried her hardest to try and nudge him in the right direction without making her presence known, tried to hide behind the trees and let just a smidge of her cloak peek out along the tree-line, trying to catch his attention to go in the right direction. And without fail, the young Hero walked in the opposite direction and got himself sent back. She was just about to try and intervene, when she spotted him following the path, torch in hand.

------------------------------Genshin Impact------------------------------

Really, she wasn’t even sure that… she belonged in Tenshukaku. Don’t get her wrong, she loved her brothers, and she was acquainted with most of the Palace staff. But now that she was no longer General (and hateful eyes always stared at her from dark corners), she wasn’t sure… what her purpose would be. 

Ever since she was adopted (kidnapped) by her father, she was raised to be a soldier. She was taught (groomed) into the art of fighting, and most of her life, she was taught to fight for her Shogun. But now that she had no place in the army (she could try and be a regular footsoldier, but it wouldn’t feel the same. Not to speak of the hateful comments she had apparently gathered by her own troops. She would not belong there even if she tried), she would have to look for a purpose elsewhere.

It didn’t help that the Youkai were still looked down on slightly. Sure, her early fears were greatly exaggerated, but it did not mean that some didn’t see her as lesser or as a threat just for being a Tengu. Hell, even if it hurt, she knew her father only adopted her because of her bloodline and her Vision. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This and more is all a work in progress, so I do hope that these little teasers are enough to spark some interest! I look forward to finishing these pieces when I can, so stay tuned <3

Sagau idea

Reader is not the creator, but the creator's twin

So they look exactly alike! But you don't have the creator's aura

And yea, you're chased and killed by the crazy acolytes

After some time, the actual creator (your twin) gets isekai'ed to Teyvat and eventually finds out about what happened

As the creator griefs, Teyvat does too. The acolytes and everyone else that chased you suffers through the creator's pain

Yea

I think that's a cool idea

[ra404]

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

[ra404]

I see all those yan genshin stories

(especially venti ones)

But I always think...

What happens if the reader just snaps, and not just become insane..

But the mind and body becomes so unstable they become a literal monster...

I came to this after I read the venti story about him stealing our voice

And I'm just thinking about the reader becoming this silent monster who can stalk you without making a sound

And if they ever were to get there voice back

All you'd hear are horrific screams of anger and hatred

Thought this would be a cool but crazy idea

NAH ANON BUT FR THIS IS GOOD TEA

I WOULD ACTUALLY ENJOY SOMETHING LIKE THIS NO CAP—THIS HAS JUST "FED UP READER" WRITTEN ALL OVER IT AND I'M HERE FOR IT (Nevermind the fact that the Ghost Rebel hasn't read other Sagau Genshin fics in SO LONG that they don't even know what's the latest trend happening in there—)

The only issue I personally have is that it's either the fic is too sentimental or the fic is too straightforward/has very little narrative. Usually, things even as short/as long as something as this actually needs more planning. I personally think it's not recommended for ppl to go with the flow, bc it needs pacing :')

Kinda sucks since it's tedious and motivation is constantly coming and leaving to get and give milk for us—

[ra404]

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

I revive from the dead to say-

Wait actually death seeking creator would be such a mind fuck for Alhaitham, or Albedo, or any of the more logical characters.

Cause like??? Why would the creator be so mentally fucked? I mean logically speaking a god is supposed to be a being above all, mental health included right? So it would make sense that the creator would be something that even after all those deaths would be mentally sound, because they're just built different right?

But no, their creator is just like any other human. And they're mental state is never recovering from all those traumatic deaths.

I feel like if they gathered together to try and come up with a solution for forced therapy (because no way in hell can they continue to let their god die over and over again, that only makes things worse for their state) and it just backfires on them several times.

Until finally they make one breakthrough, which causes the creator to just have a full blown meltdown and just yell and curse the entire world out. Of course they would try to kill themselves again, but since there's nothing to do all they can do is just break down and cry.

After that I feel like the creator would just go into this numb state and not talk to anyone or move a muscle. Probably would turn into really, REALLY, slow healing from there. Because highkey as a pushover/genshin obsessor I would just let myself heal and not actually hate the characters ever if I was in the creator's place.

Technically this could be considered a "good" ending, but honestly the fact all that shit happened would very much show how toxic everyone is because the only reason they even would recognize the creator is because of "special" blood. Wait I'll stop that thought there or I may go into a rant about that aspect of sagau (not in a negative way btw)
