#I TRIED TO PULL FOR XIANYUN / CLOUD RETAINER

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[idyllic-affections]

WAH I LOVE MAMA XIAOYUN IDEAS, that is soooo cute! And i would pay for you to actually make it a series just like the Kaveh Dad AU

So here’s some scenarios i had thought of when reading 🐉 and 🐌 anons take on it. Ok so first of all, i hc that [name] would inherit Xianyun’s hobby of tinkering and making devices, like they may not be a half adepti nor have homicidal urges like their sisters but the kid is a curious gremlin who would be the type to break apart a toy because their curious on how it works. Just imagine Xiaoyun and [name] bonding together by making their first machine together, [name] would give little toys to their sisters like maybe a small toy Qilin or crane?

Also I LOVE the idea of [name] and Yaoyao having a friendship like Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping, like there’s [name] who would go head first to do something reckless or chaotic and then there’s Yaoyao being the voice of reason then there’s Xiangling encouraging [name] behavior for the sake of good ingredients so now Yaoyao have to look after two chaotic people. Also like with Ganyu and Shenhe, [name] would also give Yaoyao some toys that they made themself and they would play with the toys together. WAIT WHAT IF XIAOYUN ALSO MADE [NAME] A PLUSH THAT IS LIKE YUEGUI TO PROTECT THEM, omg that would be sooo adorable! Maybe Yaoyao and [name] would have a tea party with both of their stuff animals as the others guests?? Idk but the idea of Xiaoyun making them a stuff animal that has the same function like Yuegui is soo cute, idk what kind of animal would it be thought.. maybe a crane..? Or maybe a chicken? Because baby cranes are called chicks..? (Im just pulling straws here also i just like the idea of [name] having Sushang’s chicken from HSR)

Would Shenhe introduce [name] to Chongyun? Like how Xiaoyun is pushing [name] to be friends with Yaoyao, Shenhe is doing the same but with Chongyun. Chongyun being confused with situation but nevertheless still get along with the kid his auntie introduced. And then he introduce them to Xingqiu and a chaotic duo was born.. I’ll let you think of the shenanigans the both of them have done :)

And about Moral Injury, personally i dont really want that much other than [name] bonding with Collei and their interactions with Scaramouche back when he was being experimented by Dottore BUT I do like the idea that maybe in an arc where they’re on the run, they come across Diluc when he left Mondstadt. Idk how it would go but maybe Diluc was injured from doing whatever mission he did regarding the fatui then [name] came across him and healed him up before quickly leaving him alone once they saw his delusion. Like when healing him, they saw his delusion and qucikly try to finish healing him because curse their bleeding heart! If he has a delusion, then that means either he’s a fatui agent or has some connection to the fatui. They instantly book it to the next nation and changed their identity. Diluc sometimes thinks about the kind stranger who helped him, although not because of how they help him, its because of their subtle reaction towards his delusion and how they became a ghost when he tried to find any information about them.

So yeah that’s all. Im honestly kinda scared rn because in a day or two, im going to go back to school which i am not ready for but here’s to hoping that we wont get any tests next week! Hope you have a good day/night though!

i am trying SOOOO hard to not start writing this series yet...... she isn't even playable yet...... Please

YEAH NO EXACTLY!!!!!! i like to think that in the first few days of them living with xianyun, she builds them toys that do cool and fun things.... the mechanics are simple to her, but they should entertain a child well enough, no..? well, later, she walks in to the room she's given them find that [name] has meticulously and carefully pulled the toys apart to peer at the internal mechanics. and they apologize profusely when they realize she's there because they weren't trying to destroy the toys, they just... wanted to know how they worked. and xianyun just hums, settling on the floor next to them (which is perhaps something quite uncommon for someone like herself), picks them up, sets them in her lap, and goes on to explain it to them and teach them how to put it back together <3 bonding activity <3

eventually it becomes a hobby of [name]'s, and xianyun invites them to help with the things she's working on too. mama xianyun often pursues little projects for her child (though i like to think she doesn't immediately realize that this is another child of hers, like her older daughters. maybe ping points it out to her and she thinks about it for a second, but then nods and agrees. she's not embarrassed. she has two older daughters! so.... it wouldn't be the first time). and [name] would totally make cute little trinkets for their big sisters!!!!!

YEAH HAHA CHAOTIC [NAME] REAL AND TRUE. MEANWHILE YAOYAO IS ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK AT THE AGE OF, IDK, 7????? BECAUSE OF THE THINGS HER FRIEND KEEPS DOING...... but [name] would definitely make a cute toy for her as an apology!! OH AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE XIANYUN WOULD DO THAT...... maybe it would be a little crane that almost, vaguely seems to resemble... herself, but in her adeptus form? huh, how odd. must be a coincidence (it is not, in fact, a coincidence. xianyun does this on purpose). but i also think [name] having a little chicken would be so cute <3333 mama crane and her little chick...... Sighhhhhh

YES SHE SO WOULD i think shenhe would teach them exorcism, to a certain extent. mostly so that they can effectively protect themselves against things... beyond the living world. so she would most certainly introduce them to chongyun! and i think they would honestly cause problems for him at first. slipping jueyun chilis into his food (like xingqiu...... teehee) and stuff, but then apologizing kindly and offering him a popsicle afterwards. they do know where to stop. he would introduce them to xingqiu and it would be OVERRRRR for him HELP

moving onto moral injury... OH MAN [name] and diluc do have an important (angstful) interaction later on, but adding this in prior to it would give that interaction a lot more depth. thank you for the suggestion, lovely!!!!! i will definitely be adding this in. also, some variation of "curse [their] bleeding heart" would be a good chapter title. thank you for reminding me of that phrase!!! i forgot it existed tbh

Regarding the Chronicled Wish, I think it's good if there's no character you want on the event character banner.

For example, you love Eula and you're f2p. When Eula first came out you fell in love with her. You saved up so much but you ended up losing your 50/50 to Jean. You tried saving up again but her banner ended. You end up saving tons of primogems for her rerun, skipping every single banner, maybe pulling for a few for characters you like but she doesn't show.

When she finally gets her rerun, you try again and this time, you get her but you want her weapon too and lose that 50/50. You're so frustrated since you realise that it will probably be ages until she shows up again but during the 4.5 livestream, you see she's there and her weapon in a new banner. How great is that? You have a chance to not only get Eula constellations, but also maybe R5 her weapon.

Yes, you'll still lose your 50/50 but if none of the characters in the main character banners are what you want, why not spend your primogems on the Chronicled Wish?

That's a recommendation that if like to give. If you're someone who's not interested in Chiori because she seems bad or Itto because you don't like his playstyle. Maybe you don't want a constellation for your Neuvillette or Kazuha or maybe you just don't want them in general, why not pull on a banner where you have a chance to maybe get a character or weapon you want?

Take 4.4 for example. I didn't want Xianyun because personally, I found it quite strange on how and why Cloud Retainer was becoming playable when she's normally a minor character to the story so it was a kinda personal reason for not pulling. I didn't fancy Xiao because I'm not a fan on his plunging because I can't get the timing right in fighting events or his trial run. I didn't fancy a C1 Use Miko and I didn't want a C1 Nahida because if I want her, I want enough primos for her C1 & her C2. I literally haven't wished since 2nd Feb and began saving up for 4.6 due to the rumours on Arlecchino.

When it was revealed that Kazuha was rerunning early and not in summer, I now badly want him (and got some help with a poll too on deciding!) But since I have already saved some wishes for Kazuha, having something like the Chronicled Wish available during 4.4, I could just make sure I have enough spare for Kazuha and use the rest to wish. I literally had to make an alt account so I could freely spend any primogems on the current banner just to stop me from spending my already saved up stash and maybe winning my 50/50 on Xiao or Yae Miko.

So is the Chronicled Wish a good thing? Yes. Is it a bad thing? Also yes but it gives opportunities for those who want to spend their primogems but on someone or a weapon they want rather than waiting a lifetime again for them to come back. Plus, it be super cool if when the next Chronicled Wish banner shows up, it's Liyue characters followed by Inazuma, Sumeru and Fontaine and in the future Natlan and Snezhnaya one's with the weapons are replaced with their signatures and the skyward would remain as alternatives.

In the end, it's up to you to decide. I like it but hate it at the same time and I know that a lot of people feel the same way.

Sorry it was very long, but I had a lot to say.

I could def see Shen Yuan with a Faruzan and Scaramouche team. Faruzan is a cute, if put-upon, professor type who loves helping her students understand her special interests. (Plus she looks like Miku and I stand by this bit of fanon). And as for Scara, who says he's too edgy? His mom abandoned him! He's allowed to be a little destructive!

I could also see him maining Xiao and Diluc earlier in the game, but he cares about the meta somewhat, but also doesn't have the time to put the most effort into it since he's reading so many web novels.

As for Binghe, I agree with @absolmon . Xianyun/Cloud Retainer is sooo Shizun (she's so hot). She tries so hard to give off the aloof vibes but cares about her apprentices/daughters so much. And the color scheme is perfect. I could also definitely see him as a Baizhu main though, since Baizhu is always hurting himself to help others and would never say a word of complaint about it. Baizhu also has strong shizun vibes and his own apprentices he cares about. Binghe probably has a huge soft spot for him.

Hua Cheng is kind of a meta slave and doesn't tend to pick characters based on personality (Alhaitham and Ayato piss him off though so he has them permanently benched). He has time and money on his hands while waiting for Xie Lian and enjoys being preturnaturally good at shit. He has a big soft spot for Nahida though and often runs bloom teams centered around Nahida and Nilou.

Xie Lian downloaded the game because Hua Cheng seemed really into it, pulled once, got Gorou, thought he looked like a nice hardworking young man, and proceeded to attempt spiral abyss with Traveler, Amber, Kaeya, and Gorou. Now the game is collecting dust on his phone.

Instead of working tomorrow, I'm gonna figure out who all these mxtx fuckers main in genshin. My gut instinct is that lwj was once a ganyu main and now mains furina and hard-core projects onto neuvillette. I feel like I'm throwing something at a wall here but it is sticking.
