Okay, so here's my epic game plan...

Because I have so many ideas and I suck at multitasking sigh... About Great Teyvat:

Rewrite/update the writing style and storytelling to align better with updated versions of the characters.

Create at least one illustration for each chapter to challenge myself artistically, also to make the story more interesting... for myself—

Flesh out Midas, Osric, and Shylok's backstories—especially Osric and Shylok's homeland and Midas's life pre-Hawkeyes.

Flesh out Boss and Isa's relationship further. Maybe through side stories from when they were younger.

Potentially participating in OC trends/memes because they're funny + it'll help me grasp the characters' personalities and relationships better, especially the really complex ones.

but first:

I need to do commissions (to fix my tablet)

I need to finish my fan art list (And NOT expand it.)

Once this is all done, my silly little OCs can be properly portrayed in the ways I want them to be portrayed :D

[shaingles]

Masculine urge to revamp my story and make at least 1-2 illustrations for each chapter (I've been planning it, but my drawing list is far too long sigh)

[shaingles]

Headcanoning a character as transmasculine because of their story beats and relatable characteristics ❌

Headcanoning a character as transmasculine because I like them ✅

[shaingles]

The way I gave Midas a French accent purely because his father is from Fontain is so silly goober of me...

Imma hit the trio with the deage-ificatinon beam and flesh out their backstories TEEHEE 🏃

Meet My [Genshin Impact] OCs

Quick character intro/backstory dump from my OCs.

Shylok Woodbead || 5' 4'' (162.56 cm)

Shylok is an alchemist taking refuge in Mondstadt.

When Apollodoros [Kingdom of the Stars] fell into The Abyss [ruthless intergalactic beast of darkness (headcanon)], Shylok salvaged the Celestial Enchiridion (which he uses to conjure his magic, assist him in his alchemic studies, and learn more about the Stars.) With the power from his celestial core and the scripture from the book, he saved Osric and himself by teleporting them to Mondstadt.

After establishing their citizenship and introducing a new perspective to alchemy, he became one of the four head alchemists in the AoF [Alchemists of Favonius.] While keeping up with his studies and delivering his findings, he also searches for remnants and artifacts from Apollodoros, hoping to reconnect with Apollo and his mother, Athena.

Osric Asterius || 5' 4'' (162.56 cm)

Osric is an adventurer taking refuge in Mondstadt and Shylok's childhood best friend.

When curiosity isn't leading him into unexplored places, he's in Mondstadt running errands, completing commissions, and clearing bounties. Sometimes, he spends time with Shylok, watching him do his work. Other times, he's accompanying Shylok on his expedition.

Growing up, his father, Apollo, never taught him how to control his celestial energy, wanting him to stay closer to his humanity. However, as a result, his celestial energy will go haywire, resulting in supernatural or dangerous events. Shylok aids him in stabilizing it and teaches him how to control it.

“Midas” || 5' 9'' (175.26 cm)

Midas is a Treasure Hoarder from the Hawkeyes, one of the most powerful treasure hoarder gangs in the Mondstadt-Liyue region.

When he was a child, his mother, father, and he decided to move from Liyue to Fontaine on the SkyShip Express [an international commercial flight]. While his family slept, Midas left the room and walked onto the deck. He wanted to see the starry, Sumaruian sky. However, this decision took a turn for the worse when terrible turbulence knocked him over the railing and off the ship. He woke up, he developed a mild case of amnesia, but he survived, unscathed. In his daze, passing Treasure Hoarders found him in the sand. Taking pity on him, they healed him and brought him back to Liyue.

He was later adopted into the Hawkeyes by Graham MacQuoid, also known as Boss. When he turned sixteen, they branded the gang's symbol onto his upper arm. A year later, during a dangerous expedition, he obtained a Vision and the power of master electro. Unfortunately, the Hawkeyes harbored a culture of hating Vision bearers. So, to avoid being exiled, he keeps it a secret.

This post might come off out of left field, since it’s unrelated to what I usually post, but i need to scream into the void.

• Transmisogyny is a term for trans women/fems. Not trans men or trans mascs. Trans women and trans fems.

Idk why, but I’m seeing an influx of people (mostly on tiktok) trying to convince trans men/mascs that bigotry uniquely targeted towards us is called either “regular transphobia,” “regular misogyny,” or “transmisogyny,” usually in response to a trans man/masc refereeing to it as transandrophobia or anti-transmasculinity. Additionally I’ve seen people try to say that “transandrophobia/Anti-transmasculinity doesn’t exist” because “trans women/fems have it worse.” Tiktok commenters are good at one thing, and it’s being LOUD AND WRONG !!! And its always cis “allies” doing this. Why are we pitting trans people against each other hello??

• Anti-transmasculinity exists, and we are presented with it constantly. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that trans men/mascs are treated differently from trans women/fem—and no, it’s not trans men/mascs being “more privileged,” because we’re not. The victimization and infantilization of trans men/mascs (“confused young girls” rhetoric) is a good example of Anti-transmasculinity. Another is r*dfems/t*rfs calling us “gender traitors” and saying we “hating ourselves.” Being treated as a fetish, while affecting all trans people, varies differently depending on the group targeted, like how black people are fetishized, but black women are fetishized differently from black men. Ergo, trans men/mascs face a unique kind of fetishization (mostly from cis men) that differs from trans women/fems. With these few examples in mind, this leads to my next point…

• Trans men/mascs are NOT Cis men!

Why are so many people so willing to ignore/dismiss trans-masculinity struggles just because trans-masculinity just so happen to include men?? Why are trans men being treated the same way as cis men?? Did y’all forget the TRANS part in TRANS men??

Just because a trans man is a man, doesn’t mean he suddenly gains male privilege, especially if he’s openly queer or don’t fit conventional gender norms. The only ones that do are the ones that pass, and not every trans man is a cishet-passing individual. It’s even more egregious when the target is a white trans man/masc, because suddenly people forget that trans men/mascs of color don’t exist, and when they do remember us they act like trans men/mascs of color have the same “privileges” as white trans men/mascs, or even cis white men because “male privilage” and/or “AFAB privilege (???)” im sorry, what???

Im a pre-t & pre-op black transmasc, I don’t recall gaining the privilege of a cis white man just because i go by he/they 🤔 I must’ve missed the update or something.

Anywho to sign this off: These are probably uninformed children or trolls causing an unnecessary divide between the community + its tiktok + it’s better to battle transphobia/transmisogyny/anti-transmasculinity irl than online, so honestly I shouldn’t let these obtuse things get to me. I’m just putting this here to get it out my brain.
