OVERSEER BRAINROT

(This is like. Me rambling. This is poorly explained and my grasp on the canon lore is iffy but this is just how I imagine/will write the Overseer - aka the player - in SAGAU. This perspective will likely change as I understand more of the lore, but for now, here's some crumbs.)

Overseer whose role is, more than simply observing, to keep the canon going.

Experiencing the story, and that includes collecting characters and learning of their lore, exploring the world, building our teapot, etc is our reward for playing our role - and our role is to push the story forward. It doesn't progress without us. We're not Teyvat's creator, but we are the one making each of our worlds move (we're the mover we're the shaker we're the headline maker). If we did not take action, the twins never would've been separated - they would've stayed forever in that choosing screen, held permanently in that moment. If we had not chosen to walk forward and touch the statue, the Traveler would never have gotten the Anemo elemental powers. Would've never helped Dvalin. Signora would've never taken Venti's gnosis. Rex Lapis would never have "died". Every single other major event wouldn't happen.

The player is the being that makes the Canon Events happen - not directly, but through making sure that the story progresses. (Miguel O'Hara theme plays in the background.) And this can happen at whichever speed we decide.

Now, while the fact that we are the ones making the story go by could be used to argue that the Overseer would be the one to make the passage of time, that is not quite true. The days in Teyvat do not depend on the story progression. Months can pass before those two Fatui in Mondstadt (I love them) have any new gossip to share about current events, or they can pass through five new topics in a span of days, depending on how fast the player runs through the quests. Time is not the deciding factor in these characters' fates. It doesn't matter how long it's been since Signora died - Viktor (the Fatui guy at the Cathedral) will not be stationed at his new post unless the player finishes his comission. Teppei's condition won't worsen with time, either. If we don't continue the quest, we can stand next to him for weeks in game before he passes. Thus, I propose that the Overseer is more of a god of Fate (not to mention, the god of time position is taken). To add to this, the things we use to pull for characters are called Fates. Intertwined Fates, Acquaint Fates, both circle back to the same idea. Hangouts can be seen as a sort of exploration of this power - with the ability to choose one of five or six fates for that character (if only Character Quests had that too). It is, however, one of the few times we have control over which version of the story is told. Otherwise, we are mostly the energy that moves it along.

It's not just that it's a canon event and we cannot interfere - it's that it is literally our purpose to make sure it happens, even if we don't like it. We're here to witness and progress the story - and bad things can happen in stories, regardless of what the characters in it want. So right now I am having some Villain Overseer brainrot, not because they want to be evil on purpose, but because some character decides to pull a Miles Morales and say "I'mma do my own thing" and mess up the story's flow. For someone trying to change the course of the story, the force that pushes events forward is obviously Not Good. I can see Fontaine characters seeing the Traveler's arrival as an ill omen, a sign that the prophecy will come true. They're divided, because on one hand, the Traveler has a good reputation, someone helpful, kind, a hero. But the Overseer's attention signifies that events will inevitably unfold. So Lyney invites them to be part of a show. Furina threatens to arrest the Traveler. Navia asks them out for tea. As long as they can keep the Overseer's attention on other matters, the event they dread won't happen. (I won't talk much abt Neuvillette rn becayse spoilers)

Enter eventual Arlechinno boss fight (it hasn't happened yet, but I do hope we get one) - she's the one who tries to fight the Traveler head on, to personally put a stop to it once and for all. Perhaps the Overseer has no ill will, but that doesn't matter. Not when their presence means that the clock is ticking faster and faster every day.

Now for a more lighthearted thought, Isekai'd Overseer who doesn't really have a concept of urgency. No important event will occur without them present, so they have no qualms in arriving on the day after the scheduled date, confident that as long as it is between 18:00 - 23:00 the reservation will still be placed and people will be at their seats as if it was always meant to be that way.

So the Overseer walks into a bar, with a face too fresh for someone who hasn't slept in what the people of Teyvat percieve to have been months, just coming in from the Spiral Abyss, and asks the bartender where their friends are.

"I don't know? Master Kaeya usually shows up at this hour, but the rest of your usual group is probably tending to their affairs."

"Odd. They were supposed to be here by now. We had a big dinner planned." The person in front of him, who Charles is more and more sure definitely looks somewhat off in a way he can't quite pinpoint, seems confused. "There was a reservation and everything. In Kaeya's name, I believe."

"Well, I'm sorry, but the last reservation Master Kaeya placed here was a month ago."

"Again, weird. He said he was going to place one. Oh, well. When the others get here, just let them know I'll be on one of the big tables upstairs, alright? And you can put everything on my tab."

con of diy testosterone: basically impossible to get in a non-injectable form, meaning i have to face my fear of needles

pro of diy testosterone: referring to my loving husband kindly offering to give me t-shots right in my ass so i don't have to see the needle as him "forcemascing" me

Sendak's voice taunting Shiro about the two of them being "connected" when contextualized with the heavy implication that Sendak sexually violated Shiro, makes me want to retch.

You ever be reading a fic and the author is clearly a knitter and gave one of the characters knitting as a hobby, and then the author made two different characters knitting sweaters for the main protagonist as an expression of love and comforting an actually important B plot, and sweaters themselves becoming symbolic of asserting one's bodily autonomy and practising genuine self care, while also symbolizing a desire for physical comfort, which was denied to the main protagonist until the Plot of the fic happened

You ever have that happen to you, when you yourself are a knitter, and go, well I have no choice but cast on a sweater for myself, now do I?

prev reblog. if/when i ever get into making clothes and stuff to go with the ita bag (could be handmade, could be manufactured like the bag, who knows!) i’m definitely prioritizing XL sizes. like 2-6XL sizes. if i manufacture a design i made i am literally not gonna stop searching until i find a manu who can do up to like 6XL. if i hand make them myself, i’m gonna find and make nice patterns that fit people well!!! i bought the cutest pair of overalls yesterday but i have to modify them because my thighs are too big. all cute clothes are made for skinny people and i’m gonna try to make stuff for the rest of us too!!!

realistically the only thing roier cubito did on that stupid boat as it slowly but surely and inevitably got further and further away from that stupider island was stand there in shock. pure, body numbing shock. I don't think the reaction hit until hours later and by then the max it could be was probably some sort of "that stupid fucker but what else was there to expect at this point" and then immediately transitioning over to the cellbit is dead i've got a dead husband he's as dead and as stiff in the ground as bobby truthing. like that's just how he is he doesn't cry he doesn't make a big scene (when there are other people around) and if he does it's only because whatever he's making a big scene over doesn't really matter, or it's fixable and doesn't matter as much as it could. or because it's objectively funny to see him flop around like some sort of oversized magikarp which thus pulls more attention to his actions and metaphorical fish flopping and less to the reasoning behind said actions (his heart practically physically breaking). but VISUALLY and like. CINEMATICALLY man does the visuals of him desperately trying to throw himself over the boat's edge only to have to be held back by etoiles and fit with bagi and phil standing solemnly at his shoulders go hard. it goes very very hard. no wonder people are making fanart of that version instead of the first one

I got my DLL back, they don't do well on small spaces so i hope the city on the superstructure works to stay, anyways should i try tame one of your overseers? they looks silly an adorable. Also i heard slugpups can have favorite foods!, some uh..have a neuron flies as a favorite so careful - Creature Anon

" okay . this is a long ask . hold on .

first of all ... my city ? sure , i guess . they can stay there , as long as they don't wriggle their way into my insides .

second ! i'm not sure if you can tame one of my overseers the same way you can tame something like a lizard — since they're all under my influence — but , go ahead . give it a try ! if it doesn't work , i could assign one to be your personal guide fella .

and , third ! honestly , that isn't much of a big deal . i can always fabricate more neuron flies in my bioengineering sector . actually , i'm hoping the pup likes the taste of neurons ! i currently don't have any other way of keeping them fed which doesn't involve sending them out into the wild . "

( ... at least they liked the leech . )
