#corrupted game au

[alitheakorogane]

"Dude, I think the game is glitching and that character's files seemed to be corrupted..."

Translation on the second picture: "We are always watching you."

Based on Self-Aware Genshin Impact AU and Faceless Ayato trend.

This one took me like days and my drawing app crashing to do this, for like 10 times and at risk of losing my progress due to the tendency for the app to crash and affect the file, that I have to restore it by replaying the speedpaint video the app had made.

The language in the Mondstadt-Teyvatian script that was shown in-game, and was made into a font by StationaryCottage from Reddit.

The non-text version:

"in my arms lies eternity"

you too, dear reader, can make veilguard into an elgarook enemies to lovers story if you think hard enough 😌

"How much blood will you shed to stay alive?"

Hi hello your self aware Yosuke au is so brainworms <3. Have you had any thoughts about him in relation to the Nametame bad end? (I think far too much abt Yosuke in regards to that one lol)

Thank you!! hope the brainworms will still have anything left remaining inside ur head <3333

And yes, I had been thinking how self-aware Yosuke would primarily have his place put into the main story of the game. So with Namatame bad end, or whatever outcomes you've chosen for the sakes of it -- I just thought of two situations:

One: His ass will ruin the immersive dramatic moment of the game and start throwing unsubtle hints to help the player get into the good ending, or: No hints at all! He throws off a brushed comment that you still have full control on playing the game. He might help you cheat on dungeon exploring or which options gain additional points - but thats the gist of it! He could not care less if your options lead to morally questionable means - its a video game. Yet he and the player are no better examples

... although choosing the accomplice ending may get a different reaction from him ;;;;

Do you have any particular headcanons about the Ultra Beasts?

Technically every Ultra Beast is an entire species, but I’m going to refer to specific members of each species who have fallen through Ultra Wormholes at one point or another and formed a found family of sorts together.

Novelette the Nihilego

A mad scientist type of individual. Knowledge-hungry and a bit callous in the questions she may ask, but is ultimately kind. She just doesn’t understand many social customs from her home world, let alone the new one she finds herself in.

Physically weak. Prone to hiding behind others when startled— uses people as living shields.

She is OBSESSED with mystery dungeons. Those don’t exist back home, and she’s desperate to figure out how they work.

Glows slightly in the dark. Glows brighter when she blushes.

Basil the Buzzwole

This man is a brick wall of muscle and friendship.

He and Novelette (whom he calls Novi) are very close. He doesn’t understand many of her discoveries or the research that leads to them, but he does his best to be supportive and help her with any experiments. Chemical reactions are a favorite topic of study for them.

Extremely emotive in his body language. He has a hard time reading people who aren’t very expressive physically. Doesn’t matter how much emotion is in your voice— of you’re not striking a pose alongside what you said, he’s gonna struggle to know whether you’re being sarcastic or not.

He makes the best fruit salads. No one knows how. You can follow the same process as he does when making a fruit salad and it won’t taste half as good as one he prepared.

Alabaster the Pheromosa

Despite her cool, unaffected demeanor, she’s extremely caring and a bit of a worry wart.

Where she’s from, pheromosas are the only form of intelligent life because they were the only sentient species that was capable of surviving in the aftermath of a massive explosion of unknown origins which turned the entire landscape into a massive desert filled with a strange energy.

She HATES feeling dirty / seeing dirty objects. Keeping yourself, your belongings, and your loved ones clean was a big deal for survival in her world, and while she understands that it’s not as critical in this new world, she still shows her concern for others by cleaning their things for them and nagging them to wash up before meals.

She frequently confuses pokemon of similar body types for each other.

She can instantly reach 120 miles per hour / 200 kilometers per hour from a dead stop. This results in her practically teleporting up to people at times and scaring the life out of them. She’s constantly reminding herself to walk very slowly and match others’ strides.

Watcher the Xurkitree

Spends a lot of time rooted into the ground for days on end, completely unresponsive. Whenever a storm rolls into the area, she rushes over to gather energy from any subsequent lightning strikes.

Quiet and stoic. Rarely talks about herself or her thoughts and opinions. Spends most of her time silently observing the people around her.

She’s pretty zany once she opens up to others. Make no mistake, she’s still stoic as ever, but she’ll say the most out-there things with deadpan delivery.

Can’t eat food and is confused by how people get energy from unmoving solids. Has a lot of opinions on the ways different types of electricity feel to absorb.

Enjoys swimming and being submerged in water.

Etta the Celesteela

Unlike the other Ultra Beasts, she has no mixed feelings about the thought of returning to her world. She’s getting back there ASAP, and she’s never looking back.

Communicates psychically with others. She was confused when people asked her how far she could communicate with people from. There’s no known limit to this ability.

She also has a lot of similarities with grass-types, getting energy over the course of centuries while buried in soil. She doesn’t spend much time in dirt in this new world, however, because she’s found that sitting in large bodies of water helps her gather energy much more efficiently. She might be able to return home even without an Ultra Wormhole if she spends the next decade in water.

She enjoys Watcher’s company whenever she visits Etta’s lake.

Coda the Kartana

A noble warrior-type who believes strongly in chivalry and intense moral codes.

Boasts about his strength and skill in battle, but is a bit of a coward who refuses to fight without another person on his side and will flee the second he catches a glimpse of fire or moisture.

At one point, Bud folds a piece of paper into a shape vaguely resembling him, and he became her self-assigned sworn protector.

Is affected by Alabaster’s pheromones more than any other ultra beast or pokemon. Thankfully, they’re not too much of a problem unless she’s very angry, which isn’t a common occurrence— but if she’s in an argument with someone and he’s remotely in the same area, he’s going to end up barely conscious and very emotional.

King the Guzzlord

Prickly and irritable, though he’s not intentionally cruel.

Constantly starving. It’s a miserable thing, and causes him a lot of pain. He tries to focus on various intellectual endeavors instead of how hungry he is.

If a field of study exists, he’s researched everything about it that he physically could.

Etta is almost constantly chatting with him telepathically. He really appreciates her company.

Pipo the Poipole

She’d get along great with Celebi if they ever met.

Strongly admires Deoxys.

Is technically capable of evolving, and has been for a very long time, but prefers being a poipole much more to the thought of becoming a naganadel.

Despite how different they are, King is her best friend, and she’s always secretly pestering Novelette and Basil about finding some way to make people feel full so that she can help ease her friend’s misery.

Chorus the Stakataka

Each brick is technically its own being— but they all form a single, unified consciousness that calls himself Chorus.

Absolutely loves music, which apparently doesn’t exist in his world, which is largely silent. He identifies strongly with songs being made up of multiple measures, melodies, and instruments— hence the name he chose for himself after entering this world.

He’s capable of removing individual bricks from his structure and placing them in different locations to observe the area. He’s not capable of remotely accessing the senses of any removed bricks, but gains the memories collected by the bricks when they’re reincorporated into his structure.

Ferryman the Blacephalon

A gadfly-type character who is always prodding people for reactions. Is constantly looking to make Watcher’s stoic demeanor falter.

He has a rather cruel sense of humor, and no topic of joke is off the table for him. Bud dislikes him greatly for this reason.

Gets his energy by feeding off of others’ emotions. The stronger the emotion, the better the fuel, so he likes to scare the life out of people by sneaking up behind them and making his head explode.

Has hidden depths that he refuses to acknowledge due to something unpleasant about his past.

Haven the Deoxys

Though he’s not your typical ultra beast, he has enough similarities with them to be considered an ultra beast native to this world.

An amnesiac who recalls very little from before he crash-landed on earth in a meteorite. He’s fascinated by the world around him— especially auroras, which he claims make noises like someone speaking nonsensical sentences.

Very fond of Bud. Despite his unfamiliarity with the concept of bonds developed past the depth of simple acquaintances, he considers her family. He’d give anything to make her smile.

Enjoys writing. He’s not very good at it (according to him) but he likes creating short story collections especially.

Necrozma the Necrozma

The best grandpa in the world.

Bud the Human

While she’s not an ultra beast, she’s been absorbed into their found family after Deoxys encountered her while she was lost and concluded that, as a creature that isn’t a Pokémon, she obviously must be an ultra beast.

As much as she loves her family in the main TPiaG cast, she finds it very freeing to be in a new group outside of them. Even after returning to live amongst humans in the Future, she makes sure to visit the long-lived ultra beasts she befriended in the Present.

She gets a lot of individual nicknames from the ultra beasts— pretty much every one of them has a unique way to address her.

This girl is collecting adopted parents like they’re trading cards. Someone stop her. She’s too powerful.

Tell me the AU about Resh and Megabird now, please... I need to know

Okay so, I wanted to make an info post with references and stuff but I think that I'm never going to answer you if I wait for the time/motivation to make such a post. So I'll give you a written overall explanation for now oop This AU branches off from my base theory/AU about the sky lore (Ayenbite of Inwit). In this AU Resh and the Elders are fallen stars that have been cast from the skies by the Megabird. Resh in very resentful regarding the Goddess' choice and wants to build an Arc to return the Elders and themselves to the skies (also because they didn't want to be the Chosen One and the entire Prophecy thing has been quite traumatic for them). In the normal version of the story it ends with Resh's plans backfiring and the Shattering happening. HOWEVER, the Corrupted Light AU (the one you asked about) branches off BEFORE this. When Resh starts exploiting Darkstone and building the Eden Crystal in the center of the Life Cycle, instead of letting karma punish them, the Megabird manifests to Resh in dream and warns them she WILL intervene if they keep going down that road. Resh argues with her along the lines of "you never cared or listened to me so why should I?" and she gets mad. At this point she decides to punish Resh for their hubris herself. She breaks her own vow of never directly interacting with her creations and descends on the sky kingdom. At first it's subtle, little things that go wrong, people affected by light sickness instead of dark corruption, it takes a while for Resh to notice. In the meantime the Megabird, now one with her earthly creatures, starts enjoying this game of sabotage a bit too much. She slowly becomes corrupted by her own light and turns evil. At this point Resh has realized her plot but most of the situation is already out of their control. The AU takes place in this tug of war between Resh and the Megabird as the land slowly crumbles in this active war between light and darkness, where light almost takes the place of the dark corruption that was plaguing the lands beforehand. For Resh is a terrifying struggle for survival against a force so much stronger than theirs, a direct confrontation with their mistakes and destiny. For the Megabird is a sadistic game of sorts, she has given up on preserving life and seeks to control and destroy her own creations.

There she is in her earthly form btw This is the only reference I have for now, but I plan on making proper ones in the future!

And that is all for now!

UGHGHGGHGHG THESE GUYS

We have raids turned off on our friend realm, but pillager patrols still pop up and these guys are A THORN IN MY SIDE, so naturally I started thinking about Sammy..... Trying to hide from them, or running away to try to lose them and lead them away from his home.

The sensor seems like it would give him away, but then Mochi pointed out that pillagers are one of the few mobs that might RECOGNISE that noise and know what it usually means... what if they hear it and just RUN? .... or what if they return with reinforcements to investigate...

Just a Normal Genshin Impact Game Time... Is it?

This SAGAU fanfic was actually created like a year ago (March 15, 2023), but decided to redo this again. This was created during the time I was still Venti-less, so this one was like a story of me trying to cope at that time.

And yes, my latest fanart coincidentally fits this story too! I just stumbled on this back when I tried to scroll on my drafts while waiting for the fanart to be posted.

CW: blood, violence, and murder. Be warned.

You were just playing Genshin Impact on your computer like any other day, just doing the usual stuff you always do every time you login like doing the daily commissions and farming domains to build your characters.

One day, after doing your usual Genshin dallies for the day, you decided to take some scenic pictures with your current team on board and explore Teyvat to look for random chests and hidden quests you may miss. You know, to pass the time and possibly scrounge for primogems to farm for your favorite character.

But as you try to explore the place while trying to find a good spot to take pictures, you couldn't shake the feeling that something is wrong, that something or someone was watching you.

You were confused at first, on why you are feeling like that. But you just shrugged, as you may think you just had too much coffee. After all, you love coffee to the bone.

As you took Kokomi to a scenic place somewhere in Mondstadt, you had noticed something strange that was hidden by a canopy of trees, few meters behind the current character. You squinted a little bit, your eyes still trying to figure out the culprit of your distraction.

There was a figure hidden behind the trees.

------

At first, you mistook it as a rock or something inanimate but you then noticed that it was actually a person when it moved. It was not an NPC or random animal, but an actual playable character. After all, you could recognize that outfit even from afar, as Genshin Impact characters had some unique styles that were fit for their personalities and status.

It was Venti, hiding in a tree from far away, with eyes glaring at you.

Your heart nearly burst out of your chest when you saw him as you quickly exit the camera mode, trying to find some explanation of why he was there, to begin with. Maybe there's an event that he had been with?

You checked the quest menu to check for any Mondstadt-related events that you probably never finished, but to your horror, there was nothing. You looked at some guides online, some clues onto why he was there, that there may be an event from other nations that had him as a guest, but to no avail. You remembered that you already did his story quest and the quests that he was actually involved in-game. Maybe it's a glitch?

With a shaky grip, you closed the quest menu and stared at the same spot again. Venti was still there behind the tree, watching you with soulless eyes.

You were shaking in fear as you were also staring at him.

As you were still frozen on your seat, trying to make sense of everything, the figure dressed as Venti suddenly pointing something at your Kokomi, his soulless eyes still looking at your terrified ones, like he was a rabid dog vying for attention.

You suddenly recognized what he was trying to do. He was pointing out his former signature weapon, the iconic Skyward Harp, at you.

"Wait, isn't the Elegy of the End his new signature weapon?" You muttered out as your mind had tried to remember about Venti. You were a fan of him, so it would be in your forte to remember every single detail about him.

You remember that even his weapon was already changed to Elegy of the End during his consecutive reruns due to the new bow fits his kit than Skyward Harp, the latter was still his signature weapon in lore.

In the corner of your eye, you noticed something weird once again, this time on the map.

Apparently, the map shows you that there is a second player on the map, and that player was near your vicinity. You widened your eyes as you remembered that you didn't do any co-op with a Venti main recently and you don't even have a Venti. And to your horror, even your co-op mode wasn't even turned on!

------

You had remembered that you always wanted Venti, but due to your impatient nature, you had decided to build pity and accidentally won Kokomi twice on the last day of her banner. You got C1 Kokomi instead.

Unfortunately, Venti's banner was next and you regretted that he never came home. You had lost your 50/50 to your very first Qiqi at 75 pulls... At the end of his rerun banner.

...this is weird and unsettling, so you decided to quit the game, but to your horror, you can't even access the damned menu, soft locking you out.

As you saw Venti's creepy smile while he was sadistically hitting your main team with his anemo-infused arrows, you were horrified at what happened next.

You watched your entire team being stabbed by his arrows, blood splattering on the screen like a grotesque painting, and your current team crying for mercy and help as they were hit by the arrows the Anemo Archon in disguise had been aiming at them and they were frozen in spot because of some twisted form of code that the game had, instead of them doing their usual lines while being on low HP or fallen down. And you couldn't even make them run by pressing the buttons to move the character you currently have because you're frozen in fear as you saw the character pleading for you to make them run away from the crazed fellow using your keyboard and mouse but you didn't. You didn't even help them survive.

You remembered that characters that had fallen down were supposed to turn into glowing white dust instead of this... bloody mess you were witnessing.

This isn't right!

It was like you were playing a horror game rather than a simple open-world RPG game.

Then while the carnage was happening, there is an in-game text that was showing up while this is happening, of Venti still happily singing his ballads while doing the unthinkable. As if he was gleefully watching you squirm.

You couldn't help but close the game in a blink of an eye after you witnessed the scene by trying to turn off the computer and decided to never touch the game again. Thankfully, your computer turned off, but it had left you traumatized.

You decided to uninstall the game after rebooting the computer. The usual uninstall window had appeared with a picture of a chibified Amber crying showed up and a message about asking if you were really uninstalling the app, as if beckoning you not to delete the game, but you insisted and still pressed the uninstall button.

You decided to leave your room while leaving the computer to do its duty to uninstall the cursed stuff, but after you went outside for some fresh air, the uninstall window that was supposed to show a chibified Klee signifying the game had been uninstalled, glitched for a second.

Venti's creepy smile was seen in a split second on the entirety of the computer screen instead of the window with Klee, with some words written in glitchy Teyvatian language then in glitchy English that was flickering in the screen before it turns normal once again.

THIS IS WHAT I THINK HE’D ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE AND WHY OKAY??

Me searching tumblr to see if anyone has made a Sky OC that is related to Resh

I’m generally curious if anyone has made a Sky OC that related to Resh/Alef because that would mean that they are related to Dawn (in some weird multi dimensional way) so if you have one do share I would love to see them

also the Megabird as well because the Megabird is technically Dawn’s parent

[gentrychild]

For the ask game how about an au where a teacher in aldera feel that Izuku potential wasted for being quirkless so that they ask all for one to give quirk to Izuku?

1 - There is one teacher in Aldera who has the braincell but, as it's often the case with such people, no one listens to him. In any case, he doesn't believe that Bakugou is their golden ticket and would like the rest of the school to stop picking on someone with so potential. So he gives Izuku a safe harbor when things become too much. And he tells AFO about this young man who has a lot of potential.

2 - He takes his time before introducing the idea of getting a quirk. At first, he says things like "It's unfair how no one sees your potential just because you like a quirk." "You are so special." "You only need someone to give you a chance." And then, he explains that there is a way. That he knows someone, that he is only doing this because of how much he cares about Izuku, and so on.

3 - Midoriya gains a quirk. The teacher gains a favor (maybe money, maybe something else). All for One gains a pawn or even a spy. All is well.

4 - At least, it's what the teacher thinks.

5 - Izuku wasn't going to say no to a quirk and he is aware that he is being played but he wasn't going to let the chance of infiltrating a villainous organization slip past him. Working as a double agent will do wonders for his UA file.

I put thought into this like a crafty racoon trying to break into a trashcan--

The whole "the Artifact is a living thing" came from this post where I answered an ask completely unrelated from it but i like making excuses to info dump.

Also! I think I've jotted down a design for Cube when she becomes CTM (equivalent to Blixer's New Games version + crown) while Blixer here is New Games with more cat-like behaviors and over protective instincts over the artifact.

CTM is tired cause she had to fight The Nameless one through a fucking volcano just to get the artifact back and give it to NG who is now calm (like giving an egg to a chicken). Yes, NG has that orange cat behavior, please do not separate the artifact from him or he will lose his mind again.
