Angel on a cage

Yeah, I could have polished this Venti art even more, but I lost patience, as I always do xD I think it's still pretty enough

Also also, I posted chapter 14 of my old mondstadt fic ^^

And worry not, new genshin mods are coming soon

If anyone is interested in seeing someone else's message to HYV customer service in order to use or inspire your own, here is mine:

I used parts of Anilyan's template and personalized it to me!

Upon further advice, it would be best to make messages more succinct and to the point!

Dear Genshin Impact Team,

Regarding the skin color discussion started by the reveal of Natlan characters:

We fans understand that the world of Teyvat is fictional, and that the Nations and characters are informed by different real cultures that end up being mixed to create a fictional setting. But it’s also undeniable that some Nations in the world of Genshin are primarily inspired by some cultures more than others, and that character traits tend to reflect the main countries the Nation they inhabit is based on. Nothing in this world is truly without reference and disconnected from some culture, even if it is conglomerated into a fictional setting. 

We see and appreciate all the hard work that has gone into creating and bringing to life such a robust and beautiful game. Thus, it’s a shame that all that effort is being drowned by the obvious racism and colorism reflected in the Sumeru and Natlan designs. It would make sense to have characters with significantly darker skin tones in Natlan and Sumeru, and many fans hoped for that with the new upcoming region.

It is blatant disrespect to ignore the African, SWANA, Rroma, and Indigenous cultures by stealing many aspects of these cultures, such as landscapes, names, music, clothing and fashion styles, without properly representing the skin color and ethnicities of these peoples. 

Please, significantly darken their skin tones. And please properly correct and respect the words and names of these cultures’ deities.

I have played Genshin Impact every single day since I started in version 1.1, and spent roughly thousands of dollars on characters I love and cherish, all in support of your game which brings many people happiness. Unfortunately, me and countless others are no longer willing to monetarily support and play Genshin Impact and other Hoyoverse games because of the clear lack of respect for proper representation of skin color diversity. 

Hoyoverse has proven capable of changing and adjusting their values over time - we still believe you can recognize your mistake and fix it. You are a company that heavily supports fan and fan works, and who constantly invests in things that have a positive impact in society, which is why many people like to support you, and why this is so disappointing to see.

I know myself and many others are eager to see positive changes, because the Natlan characters designs have so much potential. 

Do not let this taint your legacy. Tech otakus were supposed to change the world, remember? And perpetuating colorism is not how you should do it.

I would be immensely grateful if my feedback were forwarded to the appropriate departments- I appreciate all of the customer service workers' hard and dedicated work. 

Thank you for your time and consideration,

[quasardrawsstuff]

My guiding light, you shine for me in the night.

Your breeze sways leaves of ancient trees.

Your whispers soft and pure delight.

You bring me comfort, you end my plight.

Your touch inspires, your voice is glee.

Your presence brings the dawn of peace.

Through storm and strife, our fears efface,

To you I sing, my heart at ease.

Ethereal spirit, no throne is needed.

Begone my guilt, my blessings sated.

In my corpse you’ll make flowers bloom.

My soul is yours, our bond is sacred.

Ok? Sooo to anyone seeing this, go read nameless by @anilyan on ao3. Its slowly killing me ngl.

Genshin's colorism needs to be addressed

The issue of melanin (or lack thereof) has been controversial since Sumeru region dropped, and judging by the recent teasers for the upcoming Natlan, it seems like the Genshin Impact team and/or HoYoverse still do not understand/care why many people have an issue with the character designs.

tl;dr: Genshin Impact team and HoYoverse, please consider redesigning Natlan characters with respect to their originating cultures, e.g. include playable and non-playable characters with dark/brown skin tones.

I have written countless feedback to Genshin Impact team over the years with regards to diversity through their in-game surveys. Taking inspiration from Anilyan and June Yoon, today I've decided to also email Genshin Impact team regarding this issue based on their messages.

Feel free to use my/Anilyan/June Yoon's messages as a template - make adjustments to suit your situation. My message: http://tiny.cc/natlan

Akademiya Student Collei

I would like to imagine that oneday, Collei successfully entered Akademiya under Amurta and became the doctor she always dream of the moment she started her journey to self-recovery.

I think that should would make one great doctor.

This model is a collaboration with @anilyan!

Amos teaching the bard how to use the bow

Upcoming scene for my #oldmondstadt fic, Nameless, currently with 5 chapters (I'm Anilyan on AO3)

I wanted to add wisp Venti but I didn't have time to model that, I spent all day doing this to try to get it out during my birthday (yesterday, and yes I succeeded tho I forgot to post on tumblr).

And the models weren't even rigged before. Since I initially made these models for mods and so I had to convert before I could use in a render. This was just my second time doing that, and also my first time doing a proper render, so even though it's not perfect, I'm quite happy

Full credits:

Models and render made by me.

Helpers of og bard weights: murren, polymer :D, metalon (it was one of my first models so i improved it a lot recently/overrode their work)

Helpers for Amos weights: Kokabiel and Astutes

Rigging and render teachers: mimo4e and thedoctorlegacy

You can find them all on gamebanana since they are modders like me, save for thedoctorlegacy who is on twt and not a modder

NAMELESS BY @anilyan!!! READ IT!!!!

i wish all my beloved followers and mutuals a very “you find a fic that has the exact premise and characterization you’ve always wanted to see but never had the energy to write yourself and it’s really good and just as long as you want to read”

[princesscrystal-hyperfixations]

So uhhhh 💖,😐,👻

AHHHHHHHH THANK YOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU

Lemme see!

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

Well…I guess I like how I write emotions? I’m a very emotional and sensitive kind of person, so when I write emotions, I’m kinda writing how I would feel in their place? 

And I guess because of that, it kinda feels more…natural? Cause I’m genuinely feeling those emotions? I dunno, this probably doesn’t make any sense, but I think that’s my answer!

😐 What embarrasses you most about your own writing?

Complete 180 from the previous question, huh?

Well…I guess I’m kinda embarrassed with how…well, I describe areas and environments? I don’t exactly know how to write places and stuff into words well, so whenever I reread something and I read how I describe stuff, I kinda die inside. It gets the point across, yes, but I still can’t help but cringe. 

👻 What is one WIP you think you may never pick back up?

Well, I had a similar question in a previous ask, so I would say the same answer, but I’ll give you another!

I have a WIP of basically my OC’s nation, and I was going to do a similar sort of thing like Rebellion in the Nameless series that Anilyan has written, like delving into the past and fleshing things out, writing some found-family bonding stuff, etc.

I feel like it’d be cool to pick it back up one day, but for now? I don’t think I have any immediate plans at the moment, and I feel like if I were to do backstory stuff for my OCs, it would be drawn and stuff. Maybe I’ll write it, but probably not.

Thank you again for the questions!
