WIP Wednesday: I keep saying the Cat series is over but then @4dango-the2nd clubbed me over the head.

[cashewally-sarcastic]

Mondstadt with its tower (ish), Enka with the fake sun tower, Fontaine with its (redacted) tower 😔

Diluc and Charles behind the bar: bro can you go upstairs you’re scaring the customers with your rambling

Traveler, slides into Angel's Share: Can I please have a drink

Diluc, with Charles and is going over inventory as Charles gets them an apple cider: You look troubled

Traveler: The strangest thing happened to Paimon and I in Fontaine. Want to hear?

Diluc, sitting down: Sure?

Traveler: Okay so I was helpping this girl move around hydro devices and then i later find her being interrogated by these treasure hunters.

Diluc: You fought them?

Traveler: No! One of them was talking about voting and then the two left???

Diluc: Huh.

Traveler: The Paimon and I had to find pinecones for a house

Diluc: What?

Traveler: Then the.. shoot Paimon whats the word for the place.

Paimon: The crucible!

Traveler: Yes that thing. Then the brother of the girl we were helping drank the water that we were in. Traveler and Paimon bathwater. He was saying some stuff about it being Pure Water but... he drank my bath water????

Diluc: Huh. That sounds really odd. Were you hurt?

Traveler: No. I mean he did sedate us and trap us-

Diluc: WHAT!

Paimon: We got locked inside and he wanted to use us as ingredients 😟

Diluc: Where does this guy live? Fontaine? I'm not banned from there. Yet.

Yet

Love the idea of the traveler going to Angel’s Share to talk about weird shit from other nations. They’d definitely do that after some of the world quests in Fontaine and maybe Inazuma

★ Genshin Star Stream AU: Mondstadt Arc ★

Hi hi I'm back with that Genshin x ORV AU I've been working on on-and-off, and I spent an entire night plotting out the Mondstadt arc??? I need help LMAO

Overall premise - An apocalyptic modern AU that borrows the mechanics of the Star Stream from ORV (so like scenarios and constellations, none of the novel-come-to-life stuff). Aether and Paimon are siblings looking for their sister Lumine, who has gone missing since the scenarios began. What they don’t realize is that Lumine has already gone through the scenarios and is now constellation.

CONTEXT (link to the original post with the initial concept)

Anyways, a lot of it still needs to be fleshed out but Mondstadt arc details are below the cut!

Start of the scenarios:

Star siblings are not Mondstadt locals (only recently moved there)

Aether is picking up Paimon from school, they’re heading home via public transit

For whatever reason, Lumine is in another part of town or in a completely different city running some errands

Amber is the first to make small talk with Aether and Paimon on the bus/subway <3

SCENARIOS BEGIN

Main Scenario #1 - Kill one or more living beings to survive

Aether, Paimon, and starter characters (Amber, Kaeya, Lisa) survive bc of Paimon’s ant farm from her school’s show-and-tell

Cell service isn’t working, Aether can’t reach Lumine

Middle scenarios, meeting other parties:

Aether’s party meets up with Jean’s party at the station

Jean’s party consists of Barbara, Eula, Mika, Noelle, Klee

Jean is the incarnation of Lady Vennessa (historical-grade), JHW vibes

Aether’s party encounters Diluc who has taken in Diona after her dad died

Aether’s party encounters Rosaria and her party of teens that she took in (Razor, Bennett, Fischl, Mona)

Decarabian is a constellation that wishes for Mondstadt’s destruction and incarnations’ failure

(Idk what scenarios they should go through here, but they just need to somehow meet all the characters before the disaster scenario)

MAIN SCENARIO: DEFEAT THE DISASTERS TERRORIZING THE CITY

The disasters are Dvalin, Durin, Andrius

Dvalin and Andrius are former constellations in Barbatos’ nebula that have “fallen”

Split into smaller parties to fight them

Fight through sub-scenarios on the way to the bosses

During this time, Barbara gains Nameless Bard’s sponsorship (historical-grade) after encountering his statue, obtains his lyre

Dvalin - Aether, Paimon, Jean, Diluc

Durin - Kaeya, Amber, Eula, Mika

Andrius - Rosaria, Lisa, Razor, Bennett, Fischl

On standby taking refuge under Nameless Bard’s statue, holding down the fort - Barbara, Noelle, Klee, Diona, Mona

DVALIN:

Located in Decarabian’s tower

BOUNTY SCENARIO - Barbatos wants Aether to save Dvalin instead of slaying him

Decarabian is goading other incarnations into slaying Dvalin by bribing with coins

Barbatos attempts to help by descending but gets stopped by probability

Aether succeeds in freeing Dvalin, obtains Barbatos’ stigma as a reward, Dvalin becomes an ally

Party returns to standby team to wait for others to return

Barbatos blesses/upgrades Barbara’s lyre, can now be used to communicate with him or summon Dvalin

Aether tells Barbatos about his journey to find Lumine, Barbatos will try to locate her whereabouts

ANDRIUS:

Located in the forests of Wolvendom

Andrius doesn’t actually want to fight, tries to resist the Star Stream and the Abyss Order but fails

Razor MVP saves Andrius from the Abyss’ control, nullifying the scenario

As thanks, Andrius becomes an ally and Razor’s sponsor

OR Andrius does get killed but gets reborn as a wolf pup under Razor’s care

Party returns to standby team to wait for others to return (they are the first to return, before Aether’s party)

DURIN:

Located in the mountains of Dragonspine

Kaeya’s party finds Albedo’s party (Sucrose, Timaeus) already there trying to fight Durin, both parties join forces

Durin takes over Albedo's body which makes the situation much much worse (inspired by 4dango’s “Voices in Ice and Snow” series)

Aether and others are concerned about Kaeya’s party for taking a worryingly long time, fly over on Dvalin’s back to help

Klee reunites with corrupted Albedo

After new forces join and the wounded evacuate (via Dvalin), remaining party to fight Durin consists of Aether, Paimon, Kaeya, Jean, Diluc, Klee

Everyone wants to save Albedo/Durin like they did with Dvalin and Andrius, but Durin is far too corrupted by the Abyss

Durin is purged along with Albedo’s consciousness, his body is cursed and turns into chalk (maybe he does this to himself sacrifice to save everyone else?)

Aether obtains Durin’s blood, uses it to forge Festering Desire sword (dw he’ll still keep his dull blade as a backup)

Aftermath:

Barbatos informs Aether that he can’t find Lumine in Mondstadt, even among the deceased

Barbatos has exhausted all his probability during disaster scenario, all he can do now is open a portal to Liyue dome for Aether and Paimon, maybe his old friend the geo archon can help

Everyone else stays behind to defend Mondstadt from future threats, also to search for a way to cure Albedo (using the power of constellation Rhinedottir)

This is was originally supposed to be Aether and Paimon -centric but omg I'm so proud I managed to somehow include all the playable Mondstadt characters in this arc?? (Don’t expect this to happen in future arcs tho lmao)

[oathofkaslana]

Oh by the way, did you ever read the comic ‘voices in ice and snow’ by 4dango? I was rereading now and the Albedo + Klee stuff made me think of you

I DONT THINK I HAVE.. eyesemoji......

[4dango-the2nd]

To the very last drop

TW: BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend told me to watch the 2.4 & 2.5 patch Honkai Star Rail main (?) quest and DAMN I just gotta quickly draw this dfskjfkdslklsdjfsd

I heard the image dies on mobile, I didn't know that! Here's the comic split into smaller images

[ballads-of-breeze]

That 4dango comic of Collei and Cyno on the way to Tighnari from Mondstadt will live rent-free in my brain forever and always

[localmacguffin]

You meet her gaze and face nothingness.

A fan design for Nabu Malikata aka the Goddess of Flowers! This takes heavy inspiration from @4dango-the2nd 's design (twitter link here: https://twitter.com/4dango_the2nd/status/1570822211040317448).

[ID:

A fan design of Nabu Malikata from Genshin Impact. It consists of a beautiful woman from the bust up. She wears a golden crown that glimmers in the firelight. Her hair is woven with galaxy patterns in it, and from her head sprout two horns tipped with gold. She wears a top similar to Nilou's, but in bright magenta. Half her face is shrouded in darkness, but her eyes remained fixated at the viewer, glimmering with a fathomless galaxy.

/end ID]

Some design notes!

I decided to have her wear the crown from her artifact set (Flower of Paradise Lost) because I thought it looked cool. Likewise, I gave her the flower from said set to not only match the crown, but also for lore reasons. We get artifacts from revitalized petrified Irminsul trees with resin. Irminsul contains all records of Teyvat, and as one of Sumeru's "gods of wisdom" Nabu Malikata should be associated with this kind of knowledge. For similar reasons I plan to give Deshret and Rukkhadevata flowers from their artifact sets as well.

Her hair actually has a galaxy pattern because of Guizhong. She is a seelie, Guizhong is speculated to be a seelie, and she contains stardust in her sleeves. Also, she is very similar to Guizhong (goddess associated with flowers, billowing sleeves, died under suspicious circumstances) so I would also give her billowing sleeves with stardust on the inside. Also, she'd be associated with the stars/heavens anyway as all divine figures in Genshin are. For her eyes, which also contain a galaxy, I took inspiration from the description we get from the Dirge of Bilqis - eyes are the windows to the soul, and she is of the divine true sky. Most of her outfit resembles Nilou's because Nilou is based on her.

insanity being revived fpr an extra day because of this stupid comment i found. tbhis is the end of EVERYTHING in my mind

once a month crepe experiences the most insane 26 hour bout of insanity over the mischaracterization of rhinedottir

[noirfos]

Episode 6 wahoo, I am ready for extreme pain rivalling and exceeding the end of OFMD

Battery operated candles! He learned fire safety, good job Mr. Fell

Aziraphale knows so much about human history and books and humanity, but he still understands so little about them

Bees

Crowley what is that walk 🤣

YES MAGGIE girlboss them

Oh no she invited them oh no Maggie oh no

Poor Eric

ANGEL CROWLEY HISTORY ANGST HEHEHEHUHUE "Throne or a dominion, or above"

Let's goooo magic heaven telephone circle!

That's the opposite of the Lil Nas X Call me by your Name video

He said "Nah"

Ohhh Crowley's snake tattoo in gold, gorgeous

Surely she's down to like 10 demons now after they all got discorporated?

The fire extinguishers stock 🤣 part of me is remembering the library of Alexandria comic and also 4dango's Haikaveh angst but I will just pretend those thoughts do not exist

"Jolly well hurry up about it" where's that gun you have a license for when you need it?

What if holy water fire extinguishers

This institutional problem bit is a metaphor for something but my after work brain cells are not enough to figure it out

The Metatron... The Master... I see you BBC

They're so surprised he has a desk lol

So Gabriel's plan was actually pretty decent then, he just didn't tag in the people who were part of it. And I'm still hanging onto Beelzebub having similar sentiments of dissatisfaction with the wishing for positive words of affirmation in hell

The Metatron went "ok good luck with Gabriel, his disappearance is your problem not mine"

IS HE UNLEASHING HIS TRUE FORM

Oh my god it's a ringlight frisbee

Rip Eric again

Crowley just falls into a leadership position, natural girlboss ✨ meanwhile his husband starts a war but we can ignore that

The way his smirk turns on hehehe

So everyone's an idiot then

I like how Nina and Maggie are just chilling in the background

The fly is bigger on the inside? Or is he going to eat it like All Might's hair

Eyyy Beel face explanation! Also Gabriel x Beelzebub canon we love to see it

So Beelzebub said they liked the song and then Gabe inexplicably made it play forever then?

Ah no it was intentional ;) He miracled the jukebox to play their song

When the fly showed up in the first episode I KNEW it would have an important role. I got faked out with Beel showing up in Crowley's car though.

"Silly silly angel" bro??? Have you been hanging out with Crowley too much

So all the leadership are traitors LMAO, also Crowley and Zira in the back watching their bosses do what they forbid them from doing all this time.

"I found something that mattered more to me than choosing sides" INEFFABLE HUSBANDS DID IT FIRST

Crowley's proud little smile watching Aziraphale handle the host of heaven and hell like kindergarteners :)

Oh my god Beelzbriel are so cringe, I love it

Ohhhh so Shax took Crowley's flat, that makes sense why she has all his mail now hahahaha

LOL is that The Metatron in the coffee line?

Crowley knows where everything in the bookshop goes and is putting it all back 😌

So Nina calls Maggie "Angel" now too, eh?

Muriel my baby I will protect you with all my heart

NO THEY'RE GONNA GET OFMDed

It's even worse they're gonna get Destieled aren't they

But Aziraphale wasn't THERE when any of the heaven people showed their true colours!!! Crowley sees heaven and hell for what they are but Aziraphale still believes in inherent good 😭

NOOO CROWLEY IS GOING TO GET CASTIELED DON'T DO THIS TO ME

Can I also just say, David Tennant's acting holy shit, the super subtle facial changes, the shaking throat, my GOD

All he's wanted was to go off together with his angel all this time!!!! AHHHH

the fuck do you mean NOTHING LASTS FOREVER? YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS AZIRAPHALE COME ON

the put the glasses back on FUCK

You don't get it Aziraphale, you don't Understand 😭 He needs you too!! But it has to be on both your terms not just yours,,, meet him where he stands! It's been so long surely you know him better than this

NO NIGHTINGALES

oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

yeah I saw the kiss I'm not ok

the fuck do you mean I FORGIVE YOU???!!! This hurts more than destiel and blackbonnet

LMAO Muriel in the window watching all this go down

what was he going to say before The Metatron walked out, was he going to change his mind??? What did he want to take with him, PLEASE

THE SECOND COMING? I've read the bible I'm raised religious I know what the fuck that means, Aziraphale PLEASE tell me you've read enough books to know what that means and that it's NOT GOOD for your little life and your husband and your book shop 😭

Oh ok his face fell. there is still time. change your mind, goddammit don't ignore Crowley he is looking at you disapprovingly for a reason, USE YOUR HEAD! please.

Crowley bared his heart just to get betrayed right after, this is his superhell

The Bentley with her sense of humour, girlie why are you playing Nightingale in Berkeley Square now of all times

THE SAD VIOLIN CREDITS DON'T DO THIS TO ME

Why did he smile at the end, what does it all mean,,, Amazon better pay their employees I need season 3

WIP Wednesday: written with the enthusiastic encouragement and permission of @4dango-the2nd

[mimi-cee-genshin]

An artist called 4dango made an anthology called “Tales of Tatarasuna”, basically short fan comics about the Kabukimono and his found family. You can look it up on Twitter and Instagram if you need more of that content. :)

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!! AHHHHHHH!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
