Drawing every Genshin character: #5 Jean

With this one, I wanted to push how Jean has been shoved into an administrative role and show her as the overworked waifu she is

I decided I’m generally trying to get through all the monstadt ones first

This was going to be a panel of a little comic but I got too invested in drawing minute background details so, here.

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

Per Deadline and Vanity Fair:

Studio execs making millions publicly admit to their plan to simply wait out the writers’ strike.

Random thought but I think if this wasn't the first time Mavuika resurrected... or the 2nd... or the 3rd.... and she's been resurrected time and time again because her previous attempts to destroy the Eye of the Abyss failed and she had to time and time again sacrifice herself to Ronova because it's the only way to ensure she'll be resurrected, would add alot more tension to the AQ.

It would also explain her absolute insistance for her uncertain plans and why only SHE is the only known pyro archon to be resurrected and picked again.

Edit : ONLY THEN CITLALI'S LINE OF 'Dont sacrifice yourself, you deserve a place in the future you created' WOULD HAVE SO MUCH MORE WEIGHT BECAUSE SHE DOES EARN THIS AFTER ALL THE LIFETIMES SHE'S WENT THROUGH

very strongly considering going as far as i can with my aborted mez draft idea where the holy beasts are never actually witnessed in full by anyone - the knight is blind and never sees the outside of what they're piloting, the enginesmith works on bits and pieces or only sees the beasts asleep, and the renegade only experiences it in parts, never having seen "their" beast before it was ripped away from them. i think that would be fun

I just wanted point out that how helaena was acting does align with being suicidal - suddenly taking on a calm demeanour, suddenly being at peace with the loss of her son, telling her mother that she forgives her which gives closure on her relationship with Alicent when people suddenly go from deep depression to seemingly at peace they very well could be experiencing suicidal ideation or actively planning their suicide and with helaena being a dreamer on the show she likely already knows how her end will play out and that it won’t be long before she is reunited with her child in death while her mother lives on and experiences the loss of her own children so helaena did her the kindness of letting her know she is forgiven and that helaena isn’t in pain anymore, because soon enough she won’t be.

The IGN article came out detailing the three choices that you can import and I have an opinion and I’m not trying to fight, this is my opinion and my opinion only and if you want to have a gentle and respectful discussion that’s fine. But if my feelings or tone get policed I’m gonna block you because I’m an adult and I’ll say what I want to say in my blog.

Three choices is a cheap cop out to force the Solevallan narrative and create a narrative around Solas that he’s some sad poor defenseless boy just doing his best.

It is in fact a spit in the face of returning players, especially those of us that have been around since Origins.

But what I am most upset about, besides the sadboi!Solas narrative they’re pushing, is that only these three choices mattering in a game that is as close to a direct sequel as this franchise has had is really shitty writing.

It’s weak narrative structure to think that decisions made in Inquisition have zero world impact just because you’re slightly more north on the continent.

Especially considering the Inquisitor is IN THIS GAME.

The Divine matters, therefore Cassandra, Leliana, and Vivienne’s stories matter

Bull could be dead, which makes if the Inquisition siding with the Qun matter.

Blackwell can be dead and or a Warden, which considering we’re going to Weisshaupt matters.

If the Warden is alive (the person credited with like the single handed ending/prevention of the 5th Blight) matters when we’re going to be interacting with Wardens.

Morrigan having a demon baby matters

Who rules Orlais (considering Brialla can be the true power) matters

If the Inquisition sides with Mages or Templars matters.

The Well of Sorrows matters because someone has the Flemthyal soul/magic

Who you left in the Fade matters (at least to Varric even if not all of Thedas)

But I think, most of all, this soft reboot of the franchise is a very odd and ultimately poor decision considering they’re making it as close to a direct sequel as possible. This is not the game to start over with and considering they’ve already fired a majority of the DA devs and writers, I wouldn’t be surprised if this kills the franchise.

I really hope I’m wrong. I am still going to play but almost all of my excitement is gone, not least of all because the Solavellan fans I’ve interacted with have been NASTY about it. (Not all solas fans but a vast majority that I’ve seen)

Make You Mine - Childe x Reader

Almost 4 years ago I started obsessing over Liyue Qixing Secretary!Reader x Childe and never did anything about it. Now the dynamic is stuck in my head, 4 years later, and I'm ready to write miniscule drabbles about them, coated in longing and yearning and the like. Hooray

The soft, silver glow of the moon seeped through the open windows, illuminating scarred skin and hair as golden as cor lapis itself. Childe lay with his back facing you, sound asleep, ignorant of the countless thoughts that swirled in your mind. The unwillingness to say goodbye; the sheer desperation to keep him in your field of view; the fear of being exposed, once and for all.

If these thoughts raced in his head during the day as they did in yours, then he did a better job of not showing it than you ever could.

You shifted behind him. His tanned skin, littered in scars and freckles alike, was more than just a sight you wished to remember; you wanted to memorize the placement of every little blemish, every freckle, so that you could recognize them by touch alone. How many battles had he seen to acquire this many scars? How many of them were near-deadly for his skin to become so marred? How did he remain so gentle, with all the bloodshed he had witnessed at such a young age?

You figured you should simply ask him next time. Childe would happily tell you - though he might gloss over the more gruesome details to save himself from the pity you would no doubt offer - but he would tell you nevertheless.

Biting your lip nervously, you reached out a careful hand to trace his shoulder blades. He didn't react to that - still sleeping, you thought, and took it as a sign to continue. With a featherlight touch, your fingers trailed his broad shoulder, his bicep (you fought the urge to squeeze the muscle there, appealing as it was).

Childe was unfairly beautiful at his barest. Every man in Teyvat should envy him and strive to have half the charm he had; but maybe they shouldn't bother trying. Who could ever hope to compare if not the gods themselves?

Your fingers stopped at the back of his neck, where they were tickled by unruly ginger hair. You had half the mind to kiss him there but there was no point in waking him. Childe had to leave early, anyhow.

Rex Lapis must not approve of your relationship; because Childe had to leave for Inazuma on your only day off work and, to make matters crueler, you couldn't even walk him to the docks. Under better circumstances, you would have kissed him right by his ship until he could speak nothing but your name. Under better circumstances, he would have held you tight, regardless if there were people around to see, and you would have happily returned his embrace. Until such a day came, you would have to do with fervent touches at illicit meetings.

"I'll bring you gifts," he'd said hours earlier, "whatever you want. Name it, and it's yours."

"What if I only want you?"

He laughed, as though you hadn't bared your soul to him in that confession,"but I'm already yours."

"Then keep being mine. No matter where you go, just come back being mine."

Childe smiled wide, with cheeks dusted red and eyes crinkled around the corners. A kiss, and then:

"You say it as if it's not the easiest thing in the world."

Come morning, he would vanish without a trace, leaving naught but a cold bed in his wake. His sweet words, surely half-forgotten by Childe himself, remained in your head like a painful reminder of what you could never fully have.
