lord its so dark in here the sahara desert of tsaritsa content you are like a shining oasis. your characterisation of her compels me & mihoyo would be hard pressed to top it imo.!! caaaaan i humbly request yr thoughts on her first meeting w a reader of any kind, or maybe even multiple kinds (sagau, sagau god au, isekai, etc) if you so desire...

it really is like a desert here. being the fan of a character we aren't getting until the last damn nation is driving me up a wall but i will persevere bc if nothing else i support morally bankrupt women in media. we r in a severe drought over here but i do my best. unfortunately nothing i say is ever coherent so pull out your translation notes its abt 2 be messy

also this got out of hand but thats bc first meetings w the tsaritsa are tricky to write + a LOT of her characterization lies in deeper exploration then just surface level yknow...NOT A DIG AT YOU this is just my excuse for rambling. gently pats the tsaritsa she can hold so much complexity i do not have the word count to delve into it completely :]

gonna talk cult au for a bit here though because that's 99% of my content. and honestly? she thrives in sub au's of the cult au like villain au + imposter au. it's basically made for her. i mean, early days, the imposter au had been going around for a little while but one of the first few ideas was the Fatui taking reader in so like. it kinda technically actually was. pretty sure cult au Tsaritsa popped up because of the imposter au. a lot of it's writers kinda left though which. man am i getting old or.

anyway.

there isn't much of a chance her first impression is all that positive. at best it's usually neutral, imo, but rarely if ever positive. specifically because i view the Tsaritsa as someone who isn't as fanatical as most of the acolytes typically are towards the creator. she's not exactly going to worship the ground you walk on unlike a certain geo lizard. which is partially why i think she thrives in the sub au's i mentioned.

imposter au, for example. she meets you at your lowest. there's no gaudy extravagance or pampering from the acolytes waiting for you because your own acolytes have turned on you. for all intents and purposes you aren't a "god" at all. which is why i don't think she meshes well with normal cult au reader. the Fatui are made up of outcasts, basically, and imposter au slots right in just perfectly. you're weak, at your lowest, when you meet the Fatui in the imposter au. and the Fatui can help you, too.

a mutual exchange, really. the Tsaritsa sees a tool she can use to one up the rest of the nations and especially Archons, and she has no qualms about you using her and the Fatui in turn. you both want something out of it, after all. whether you just want to be safe from the rest of the acolytes, or you want revenge, or whatever else..she'll give you the power to fulfill it, and she gains the strongest piece on the chessboard when all is said and done.

the best way i can describe the first meeting is "practical", i suppose. she sees an opportunity in you. the ultimate gamble. because if she "saves" you, and you dont trust anyone else because they tried to kill you, well..she holds all the cards, doesn't she?

but the Tsaritsa, imo, is just as capable of being just as fanatical towards you as anyone else. she just won't worship you as the creator. but as yourself? clawing your way back to your divine power and taking back what belongs to you? the Tsaritsa is, to me, a character who's character flourishes in long-term fics more because she changes a LOT between "just met reader" and after having been with reader for some time. she's practically apathetic at the beginning but a lot of her character, in my characterization, shines through LONG after the first meeting.

It’s so embarrassing and heartbreaking being in so much pain over losing someone while knowing they don’t give a fuck if you live or die. Your favorite person becoming a stranger is a special kind of hell.

fanfic readers/writers, i have an important question

Is it considered weird/cringey if writers mention real-life brands in their fics? especially if the source material used a fake name to represent the brand?

for example, a tv show called am in-universe soda brand "choco cola", but a fanfic about the tv show calls the SAME DRINK that the characters called choco cola now "coca cola".

(inspired by me reading a persona 5 fanfic where the gang calls it "disneyland" instead of the in-universe name of "destinyland" and it weirded me out a lil. i wanna see if others have the same problem)

“Known for being the most quiet and soothing neighbor, Sage Clearsky is the resident gardener and peacemaker of the neighborhood. Always available with a cup of tea and a listening ear, Sage often helps the others work out arguments or helps give advice. Despite her soft-spoken demeanor, Sage isn’t afraid to step up to help or join in on the fun with her friends.”

"Though there isn’t much known about Sage’s past before moving to the neighborhood, a couple old scripts mention her working in a previous flower shop in a far-off city before deciding to move away to run her own. In these scripts, she mentions preferring the quiet and closeness of the neighborhood over the loud city life.  "Though Sage is noted to be a gardener, she’s more often depicted in her shop or in situations with the other neighborhoods. Despite there being few scripts that have Sage actually placed in her garden, many of them describe her growing a variety of plants, from flowers to herbs, teas, and other such garden life. Sometimes she trades her produce with Howdy, sometimes she gifts or shares it with the others, and sometimes she sells it in her little shop. She often gives the others gardening advice if requested, typically Frank and Julie. "Sage is characterized as an excellent listener and loves to help the others as best she can. Other neighbors often go to her when stressed out or in need of a calm space to talk, and many scripts have her helping to settle disagreements between the others.  "Concept artwork for Sage depicts her as a hand puppet similar to Julie and Sally, with a mechanism similar to a small, finger-operated pulley system in her head to help move and lift her ears while puppeteering her head and face. Due to this design, operating Sage is thought to be a very complex task, requiring quite a bit of wrist strength and finger dexterity."

HERE SHE IS!! ALMOST 6 MONTHS LATER SHE FINALLY HAS A NEIGHBOR REFERENCE!!! (here's her old reference!) god this literally took way too long to make TwT 5 whole days you guys. 5. days. BUT ITS SO WORTH IT!! 🤩🤩🤩 look at my lil rabbit go!! Rosemary will have one soon too! I'm gonna make a similar template to use for her, but with a different background -w- so it might be a bit. keep an eye out! :D
