#genshin ask game

[thecinderninja]

For the ask meme, 🩹 for Venti? Do with that what you will >:)

On Ao3 as The_Cinderninja

The wind played softly with Venti's hair as he sat in the open hands of the statue of Barbatos, high above Mondstadt. From this height, he could see the entirety of the city. It was a view he had witnessed countless times, yet it never lost its charm. Today, however, it didn’t bring a smile to his face.

He’d lost track of time since the Traveller left. They did sit with him for longer than expected, but eventually they seemed to realize the only thing he really needed at the moment was some time alone.

His thoughts were a tangled mess, and he wasn’t sure he had the energy to try and sort through them. Venti, the bard. Venti, the Anemo Archon. Venti, Venti… 

Was at war with himself. 

He lifted his gaze to the sky, letting his mind drift. He tried to summon the familiar sense of peace that the open sky usually provided, but it eluded him. He felt too heavy to grasp at clouds. Looking inwards felt like climbing the steps into a forgotten attic, creaking with misuse, and dusting off the spiderwebs that clung to everything.

Who am I? 

That was the question that had been repeating for the past few hours. The question he usually managed to brush off with a laugh, with a bottle of dandelion wine, with the view of his city, with a strum of his lyre.

Venti the bard. Venti the Anemo Archon.

Those were both answers.

(So why weren’t they satisfying?)

Centuries ago now, (millenia), Venti had taken on the form of a young bard - a mortal whose life had been snuffed out far too soon. (But he had been mortal all along, hadn't he).

That bard had been a friend, a companion, someone Venti admired deeply. In those days, he had been a breeze, a whisper among the reeds, a formless spirit. 

The bard had shaped him into something tangible, something more than an elemental wisp.

But now, all that remained were fragmented memories, echoes of a life that wasn't truly his. The bard was gone, and Venti was left behind; a shadow cast by a flame long extinguished. He was a reflection. An antique mirror, capturing the likeness of someone who no longer existed. 

He tried to remember the bard's face, the sound of his voice, the songs they had sung together. But the memories were hazy, like trying to grasp mist. He couldn't recall the bard's mannerisms, his thoughts, his dreams. 

The essence of the bard had been stretched too thin, leaving only the faintest traces behind. 

Venti's identity was a patchwork of those traces, stitched together haphazardly. He had built his entire sense of self on a script he had lost. He played the role of the bard, a role whose lines were forgotten centuries ago.

What would the bard think if he could see him now? Would he be proud of him? Would he be happy for him? Would he be offended at Venti's misuse of his image, a misrepresentation of him? Twisting his original ideals into something unrecognisable?

Would he hate Venti for the things he had done while wearing his face?

He imagined the bard standing before him, looking at him with those earnest eyes, filled with a fire that Venti could never hope to match. The bard had been passionate, a force for change, fighting every day of his life. Venti... Venti was complacent and fearful.

Would the bard find it pathetic, how Venti never gained true freedom, but stopped fighting nonetheless?

If he stood before him, what would he say? Would he see Venti as a coward, hiding behind a mask, unable to step out of the shadows?

He didn't know. He couldn't know. And that uncertainty crawled under his skin, skin that didn’t even belong to him, a constant reminder of his incomplete existence.

What would the bard do? 

Venti knew the answer deep down - the bard would act. He would stand up, fight, strive. The bard had a fire that Venti lacked, a determination that seemed out of reach. The bard would risk everything.

Venti had too much that he could not risk.

So what was he? A poor imitation, play-acting a role he was ill-suited for. Yet it was the only thing he knew, and he was afraid to give it up. Without the bard's guise, without his memories, what would remain? Just the wind, aimless and formless as it had been before it met him.

The sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the city. Venti watched as the shadows lengthened, feeling kinship with them. He was a shadow too, a fleeting shape cast by a much brighter light that no longer shone.

As the stars began to dot the sky, he felt a kinship to them too. A light still shining while all those who admired it remained oblivious that it had been dead, dimmed, consumed and put out for years. An illusion. A false pretence. Nothing about them was real, not any more than Venti himself.

He took out his lyre and strummed a soft, melancholic tune. Was music even his own? Yes. That much he was sure of. Perhaps he had once learned it from his friend, but that was one thing at least he had made his own. One thing which he loved for the sake of it. The notes floated on the wind, one half of a duet, a call without an answer.

For just a moment, he allowed himself to grieve. He let the tears fall, hidden by the night, and sang for an audience of false stars and those who were long dead, imagining that his words would still reach them after enough years had passed to carry the tune.

As he let himself observe his own thoughts, as he dusted off the boxes in the attic of his mind and decompartmentalized himself for the sake of finding an answer, this was what he discovered;

He wanted to live. 

He loved living. He loved humans, he loved Mondstadt, and he loved being alive. The joy he found in the simple pleasures of life, the laughter of children, the camaraderie of friends, the beauty of a sunset—these were things he cherished deeply. These were things which were real.

These were things which belonged to him.

They were not borrowed or stolen or worn as a costume.

He didn't know how to live as his own person. He didn't know how to step out from under the bard's shadow. The idea scared him. It was daunting to think of forging a new identity after nearly 3000 years.

But did he really need to? 

His contentment was not, on the whole, false. 

Perhaps the bard would be ashamed of what he had become, but Venti wanted to live. And if this was the only way he could do it, then this was how he'd do it. He would rather live as a faded reflection than face the terrifying prospect of finding his own identity. If clinging to the bard's image was the only way he could continue to experience the world he loved, then that was the path he would take.

For the love of life, for the love of Mondstadt, and for the love of the fleeting, precious moments that made existence worthwhile, he would continue his masquerade.

In the end, even a shadow had a place in the world.

[ask-court-genshin]

???: Are you fully awake? Good.

You: Ngah…?!

???: *sigh* Allow me to explain, for the hundredth or so time.

???: The power of water has the ability to take any shape– and I have given you a temporal human form.

???: But that is not without a dire cause.

???: I require your assistance, eidolon. But for now, stand.

You stood, wobbling as you gaped at your new legs. No longer just liquid, you tilted your chin in her direction. Soulless were her eyes– hollow and deeper than the sea. What was the first emotion you felt in this new form? Excitement or fear? You've yet to understand these... "human emotions".

Lumine: You may call me "Lumine", I'm a traveling wishing star from another realm who has unfortunately lost sight of her brother.

Lumine: I have reasons to suspect that the ruler of this land– Queen Furina– has kept him captive.

Lumine: I'm here to give you an offer.

Lumine: Take it.

[Receive: Hydro Vision]

Despite being in full disbelief that you could speak, you challenged your new creator.

Lumine: With this, you can live your life as a handmaiden. Or perhaps citizens of this realm would dub them as "Royal Courtiers"? 

Lumine: The Queen and her lackeys will not suspect you if you dare hold on to this trinket in full public display.

You: A-And…

You: W-What should I do…?

Anything was better than to go back as a mindless and most importantly voiceless hydro eidelon.

Lumine: Find my brother, and in exchange, I shall grant you a wish in this fairytale land.

Lumine: But know this– you are not the first nor will you be the last Oceanid I sent to accomplish this mission. Should you fail me, I'll pop the bubble and watch the water return to shore. 

Lumine: I have shaped you, and I can easily take your vessel away.

Lumine: Understood?

You: I…

Passing as unnoticed currents in a nearby riverbank, you've heard children and young lovers speak fondly of the Murmure Court. It is a place where nobles and "respected commoners" mingled and formed connections through music, literature, arts, and performative media.  You once wished a young boy would scoop you out and take you to one of these exciting places– and now you have the means to grasp it.

You: I accept.

Lumine: Very well. The contract is now set in stone. 

Lumine: Time awaits no one. Your job starts now. I'll send you to the Murmure Court.

You: Murmure Court…?

Lumine: That's right. Murmure Court.

The traveler then opened up a jar, releasing a restless navy blue seelie.

Lumine: Like the other eidolons from the other timelines, you may take Sy, the seelie. He will be your guide as a human, as much as Paimon was mine.

The blonde wishing star had a somber and near melancholic look on her face before it dulled back to its usual emptiness.

Lumine: Sy can commune with other versions of himself in a separate universe. Perhaps other eidolons may help out as well.

A sudden vortex swirled underneath your feet, gaining force as it pulled you down.

Lumine: Do your best to find all the information necessary. You have 50 days. 

Lumine: Ad astra abyssoque.

2, 7, 8, & 23; ask game! lol

2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

I can't make one for Childe (obviously he would do both), consider this though: he would never stay in a relationship where he can only do one of these

topping all the time is exhausting, bottoming all the time would trigger his issues (and boi does this guy have issues. even his issues have issues) and he'd try to fight his way to the top. rinse, repeat.

fighting for who gets to top for the next half an hour though? perfection

so what I'm trying to say is that chilumi is this meme:

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

shenhe, but mostly because an annoying acquaintance of mine kins her and I came to think of them as the same person (shenhe obviously doesn't deserve it. sorry shenhe)

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

Childe is a good older brother. he is absolutely not

he tries tho

23. ship you've unwillingly come around to

answered in a separate post

(the ask game)

[biblicallyaccurateangeloncrack]

🌾🫖📷

🌾 what’s your favorite character trailer?

i havent seen that many so far, but i really like wriothesley's. i love how the showed a good amount of his character in such a short time, and its bittewsweet too

🫖dump a headcannon or theory here

i REFUSE to believe that Fischl, Hu tao and Xingqui didnt have a warrior cats phase as kids

📷what’s your favorite ost?

definitely the dragon spine ost "moonlike smile" , but signoras boss theme is close second

[littleblueberryartist]

1, 19, 23 & 27 for the ask game! or just pick one to answer if thats too many dhsjsj

1. Who did you choose as your traveler?

Lumine! Fun fact I chose her mainly because I'm more femme presenting irl, but I didn't actually get a good look at either of them during the cutscene. I low-key regret not choosing Aether if only because his earring is very cool sdfgf (I do play him on my alt account tho!)

19. Do you like gliding?

sdfgfd I hated it actually! When I first started playing genshin I had a potato of a phone lol so gliding was super annoying for me. I also failed Amber's gliding test like 3-5 times Now I'm more neutral on it and I like the glider designs but eh

23. Bow, Sword, Polearm, Claymore or Catalyst?

At the moment I'm bow maining (Venti and Yoimiya) but I don't actually like bows because aiming is hell on mobile lol Fav weapon in game would be claymore because I was first and foremost a Razor main If we're going with what I would use as a character in game though my sona has a polearm! I like the longer reach bc I'm a coward, and I didn't choose catalyst even tho it feels somewhat fitting bc I never really liked catalyst playstyles in game. (atk animations play a role in how much I like a playstyle and catalyst animations tend to lack the oomph that other weapons have imo)

27. How much do you cook? If you do it.

I do the weekly 20 dishes lol (usually I try to complete any new recipes but if not then my go to is sweet madame/matsutake meatrolls) anything more is because I'm currently running an underlevelled archon team and have no healer lmao

[narcoticwriter]

number 5?

Eujean, hello! Thanks for the ask?

What are your favourite headcanons you've come up with?

Now, I'm not one to usually plug things, but I have a lot of headcanons on another blog if you want them. You can ask me for it but I also have other headcanons that I would like to share as well:

Childe is a huge fan of hot chocolate, as it was a rare commodity to have in his remote village with his family during the colder winters.

Daytime Layla has some form of narcolepsy and Sleep-walking Layla is somewhat affected by it.

Nahida's favorite game would be hopscotch, but then she would be introduced to jump rope.

Tighnari and Sucrose are in frequent contact with each other via letters and academic papers as they both work in the spheres of biochemistry, although in different fields and methods.

Al-Haitham does calligraphy in his spare time.

When together, Yun Jin has a penchant for getting Xiangling and Xinyan into varying situations that border on fun, but somewhat dangerous.

Sayu is depressed as hell and I would strangle Kano Nana if only to get her to realize it and maybe start to help her.

At one point, Diluc definitely had the labels for juice and wine look almost the same. After a certain incident, he changed them so it wouldn't happen again.

Ei and Shenhe would be gaming friends in a Modern AU as Shenhe herself would use them to cool off after a long day of having to socialize and hold herself back.

Guoba and Ushi are very good friends that try to stay in contact.

After meeting her for the first time, Heizou can say with confidence that he is only somewhat unsettled by Yae Miko.

. . . among others.

Questions here

[noctualagenaria]

Childe teppei stormterror

[xfangheartx]

7, 34, and 35

7. Who is your least favorite character?

My least favorite has to be...Dottore. After everything he's done, it's no wonder.

34. What do you think of Paimon?

I think she's cute, and she's a very good friend! And honestly, I don't have a problem with how she sounds these days. I know people preferred her early-game voice, but it honestly makes no difference to me.

35. A random headcanon

Yae Miko's true fox form is actually quite terrifying, hence why she doesn't transform into it very often.

[abzushark]

For the Genshin ask game, 2, 8, and 23!

Hi! How are you? ^^ Thanks for the ask!

2. That's a tough one...I'd probably say Kuki Shinobu or Itto.

8. Definitely Mondstadt. All the nations are amazing, no doubt, but Mondstadt will always hold a special place in my heart, as the nation where it all began.

23. Ooooh, that's real tough...I'd have to say either Bow or Catalyst, though.

[crowisinthetrash]

6, 9, 15 ♡

hello mika! hope u are having a good day/night :)

6 - Favourite headcanons belonging to other people?

my favourite headcanons are when people draw or write how characters who haven't met and if they met, how'd they act. my favourite one being Scara and Itto <3

9 - If you were from Teyvat, where would you live?

ooo hard one. i think i'd pick mondstadt but liyue would be a close second. i feel like it would somewhat remind me of home and i feel like it would be a nice place to reside. but i would probably be more of a travelling adventurer like the traveler and visit other nations every so often

15 - What's your favourite voice line from the game?

Alot of the birthday voicelines are my favourite but my personal favourites (besides Itto's birthday voiceline), humour wise are:

"Don't tell me they did it again..." - Kuki Shinobu, joining the party

"Understood. I just have to stand here, right?" - Shenhe, joining the party

"Have you seen that gentleman around? Huh? He's just a normal man by the name of Zhongli now? That must be quite the change for that old block-head. Come with me to see him, will you? I have a vintage I dug up from Windrise that I can take as a condolence gift. Oh, ahh... did he still seem strong when you saw him? How strong? Am I likely to get blown away?" - Venti, about Morax

and lastly:

"Oh, don't listen to the Shogun. Desserts! Cavities are no big deal — you can just replace your teeth. Anyway, I just don't see how desserts can pose a serious obstacle to my pursuit of Eternity." - Raiden Shogun/Ei favourite food

Though for more meaningful ones:

"Give me your hand. Heh, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just taking you to a vantage point.

How is it? The scenery here should be quite breathtaking. There's no need to thank me — I see little point in it." -Scara, birthday

"Oz, my loyal companion. That we should have met this person, one who hails from another world as I do... Perhaps even cruel fate has deigned to smile upon me, though sin courses through my veins. If I am indeed destined to remain here, in this inescapable prison that is reality, at least—"

"I understand mein Fräulein! In this traveler, Fräulein has found one who will never forsake" - Fischl, About us: ones dear to heart

"I heard it was your birthday, so I wrote a haiku for you. Unfortunately, I'm not the most talented in this area, and after trying for several evenings, I was still only able to come up with the first two lines... I guess I'll just share what I've got so far, then. "Sun and moon rejoice / Birds of dawn sing songs anew"... Wait, don't say a word, I think the final line is coming to me... Yes, how about.... "Far from home, with you." Anyway, Happy Birthday. Let's go and get you some cake, shall we?" - Kazuha, birthday

and lastly:

"Are you sulking? That's no good — c'mon, follow my lead. First, use your right hand to draw a biiig circle in front of you. Then, use both hands to take all those negative feelings off your chest and into the circle. Next, push it away as hard as you can! So? Feeling better now?" - Nilou, about us: dealing with anger

[rougekithes]

🌰 and ☁️ pretty please.

🌰who's your favorite npc?

So, technically. As of right now. Dainsleif is an NPC. Sooooooo- Also, Liben. >:) The bringer of many beautiful gifts.

☁️ what’s your favorite platonic or familial relationship, if you have one?

Hmmm, somewhere between Kaeya and Klee. Or Alice, Albedo and Klee. Oooor, Cyno, Tighnari and Collei. Though, the latter leans into romantic too.

[blood-orange-juice]

1, 6, 9 and 10 for genshin. Go apeshit :D

the character everyone gets wrong

Zhongli. People constantly pigeonhole him into the absentminded professor/soft old man type and I'm sick of it.

He's badass, he's several thousands year old, he's a Confucian ruler ideal, he survived the Archon War and did I mention he's badass.

If he misunderstands some things about normal human life it's not because he's a himbo it's because this guy is older than written history.

Even Childe is not mischaracterised on this scale, despite all the effort Griffin Burns puts into it.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

I actually don't interact that much with ship fans, so no one annoys me. Judging by others' complaints... a certain type of yuri-shippers that hate men in general? Raiden/Yae fans then.

(I love the ship itself though, I used to have a relationship exactly like that)

9. worst part of canon

Kokomi. They did her dirty.

10. worst part of fanon

High school AUs? they irk me

Childe being a fuckboy? (no, he's a walking PTSD case, he probably has a hard time letting people get close to him)

"Griffin Burns is just Childe irl, their personalities are the same"

nope, Childe doesn't have golden retriver energy. he has no sense of humour either. clownable and having a sense of humour are not the same thing

(it's just easy to overlook because Griffin)

it's not even that I don't like it, I just don't like how the character gets mischaractersized because of the jokes

(the ask game)

[thatdeadaquarius]

College be kicking my ass but we continue on like Scaramouche (alive and kicking, but still crabby about it all lmfao)

Random idea but what happens when the acolytes got hold of Creator that is able to squeeze into small places (like a cat would but less liquid) and knows how to escape? Think of sagau but instead of all the deaths, its just they got overexited and chased the Creator the moment they see them which scared them shitless seeing a mob just appear out of nowhere.

I mean who wouldn't after seeing your favourite person in your favourite game just appear right in front of you? (I apologize in advance to the poor unfortunate sucker)

Imagine a world-wide search that keeps getting them heart attacks. Venti just flying by with Dvalin ony to see you on top of the floating pillar above Dragonspine LEANING PRECARIOUSLY OH MY ARCHONS GET AWAY FROM THE EDGE---

Zhongli walking around trying to find peace and quiet only to sense your presence which led him towards Azhdaha's domain and nearly shouted in terror seeing you hanging by one of the limestones above the slumbering dragon your grace what and how the in the fucking name of teyvat did you---

Yae Miko screaming in surprise seeing you inside one of the cupboards of your grace's house (you made a small temporary one in each country in case u need more rest) that she and Ei found in one of the remote islands.

Nahida and the entire Forest Rangers having one of the most intense, frustrating and most challenging game of hide and seek in the entire freaking forest.

You hiding underneath the sand like a fricking snake everytime Cyno spots you from a disrance.

-Vine Boom 🧨

I am no longer apologizing for lateness simply bc atp its basically assumed Im terribly sorry 💀 /so gen

No but the traumatic experience of you cautiously wandering into Mondstadt after realizing ur in Genshin like, ✨👄✨

and every single street/alleyway you try to go down to even avoid it is just people all looking at you like: 👁️👄👁️ ???

and ur over here equally just like: 😃 tf u lookin at????

u get up near the cathedral and finally see a playable character, Barbara, and she just fully GASPS and POINTS at you like she’s getting paid to be an actor for this

shouting sm nonsense like: “My Creator??? King of All???? IS THAT YOU?????”

and after which a few nuns check the commotion, Rosaria and Barbara’s Visions are glowing, and all join in heckling you

Venti coming (literally) flying around a corner on a breeze, saying he was trying to catch up to you, and ohhh now ur Convinced:

None of these bitches must be happy to see you, you did forcefully control their bodies if by the sounds of it they knew you/they must’ve been aware during the game, aw damn looks like u gotta run for your life now

You just book it out of Mond, Venti/Barbara yelling after you to come back, and meanwhile you’re leaving a shell-shocked Jean/Diluc/Kaeya (with Visions glowing) in ur wake on the way out

Not one being, mortal or otherwise, convinces you to stay in Mond, and you finally get to Dragonspine- the only place u know they wont follow

(well maybe the pyro characters but ur betting if u can make it up the mountain theyre not committed to,, running you down? arresting you?? ur not sure)

u make it all the way up and luckily everythings all solved like u did in the game, the traveler must be well into teyvat by now, and u decide to say “for the already achieved achievement” and fuck around and find out near the nail

U thought as u finally got on it u heard a scream somewhere in the sky, and u spotted Dvalin carrying Venti/Barbatos, and once again book it out of town (damn u cant believe theyre so committed they got the dragon in on it…)

so u haul ass all the way down the mountain, traveling only at night, living like a vampire, holing up during the day when u see Mond citizens/knights/gods/etc. walking around presumably looking for you

but u make it, finally! sweet, sweet Liyue, ur 2nd home (besides Mondstadt)

Only to immediately, like right outside the fucking gates to Liyue Harbor, run into Zhongli.

and he’s standing there like this mf knew u were coming, and the first thing out his mouth is some BS like, “…Darnell, that you??”/ref LMAOO

but instead of laughing abt it u just scream and run for your life haha

oh jesus h christ- he’s sending the adepti after you fuck- how hated are you??

sure u maybe hate Celestia a little, and sympathize with the traveler, but this seems a little extreme?!

you go to the one place u know he/any other adeptus doesnt like to come often, Azdaha’s cave

and after a night (well, day bc ur sleeping during the day now) of Azdaha sleeping peacefully, he wakes up fully coherent and u actaully have a rlly pleasant conversation with him about Liyue food lol

he also kept mentioning some kind of god? but like in reference to you?? are u connected to them, u kinda know a lot of gods atp so ur not sure which he means, a god to rule them all??? Celestia?? yeah u guess u know those fucks-

Cue u looking down from ur perch in the stalagmites above, u found a ledge and Azdaha helped you,

only to see a very concerned and borderline nervous Zhongli down below, Azhdaha just greets him like nothing’s wrong, but as soon as he sees you’re uncomfortable, helps you escape (more like teleport) away

(the old geo archon was probably nervous just be around Azhdaha u assume)

and now ur on the islands of Inazuma

u know exactly what islands are all but abandoned, the ghost one, the electrocuting one, and the scary bird one, all great options 👍

Raiden and Yae Miko manage to find you on every single one, with Yae getting more and more exasperated, and Ei getting more and more concerened with every position they find you in

hanging out on the banks of the electro river that would kill you if it weren’t for the little electro trees fending it off (thank fuck u maxed that shit out while in game)

bc u assumed they’d hate to be around it, plus lots of ronin- nope Ei is almost… scolding you?? oh but she’s got her Musou no Hitotachi out fuCK-

(she was slaying ronins that were getting too close to you)

she also is constantly jumpscaring you on tsurumi island/ghost island bc while the ghosts are gone, the creepy atmosphere isn't, and it makes her all the more terrifying as The Raiden Shogun comes walking out of the fog into the cave you've hidden in, stuff of ur nightmares for weeks as u just bird box style try to be silent and stealth around the island to get to an abandoned boat,

literally her scary ass purple sword glowing silhouette wandering around in the fog as you paddle away 💀

getting to thunder bird island and Yae Miko is literally both running/teleporting as quickly as she can to you, as you jump from floating rock to floating rock to escape her, god its so unnerving to watch someone so lazy running after you

she keeps getting in this weird “praising the heavens pose” sometimes when you jump, oh shit she’s aiming hER ATTACKS AT YOU THATS WHY-

oh good- she missed and deflected some stray debris coming ur way, u gotta get to the bird area and see if you can glide away (u managed to get a glider at some point thank fuck)

the bird is luckily on ur side against all these mfs trying to hunt u down (for controlling their bodies u guess) and flies u back to mainland teyvat

sumeru u thought would have the most mercy on u tbh, maybe fontaine bc Neuvillette only rlly cares if u break “fontaine” laws, maybe he wouldn't care to chase down a mortal like u over this

and nahida bc shes just nice

which is somewhat true, as you are acting like tarzan swinging around on vines and shit to escape the forest rangers

but she does show up in ur dreams, but shes just all foggy or distorted, u guess bc ur not of this world or smth??

and so it just unnerves u more, and u try to make it out to the desert, where at least there's no gods to worry about

mf ur hunkered down in a pyramid and see the shadowy shape of Cyno walking thru a sandstorm at you 💀

U dont kno how u got out of that one tbh, smth abt “king deshret made a plan for this” and left it behind for ppl to use to escape underground, sweet

And while Nahida and other eremites, scholars like Alhaitham/Kaveh/Dehya were looking around the desert sands, u slip by them

And u make it to the oasis at the edge of the desert, and steal an old rowboat to cross to fontaine (if i had a nickel everytime u needed to escape a god via old rowboat, youd have 2 nickels- )

and getting to Fontaine is not much better.

U literally get to the clockwork tower, foggy, ominous, uninhabited except for treasure-seekers occasionally, its perfect

until Neuvillette himself just strolls in abt 3 nights of u making camp there

u nearly shit urself as he just fake-knocked on a wall, meanwhile ur like hanging from the ceiling (four limbs out suspending you type of fictional shit)

luckily, mostly bc u were trying to wait him out (which wasn't possible ur limbs hurt so bad) he was, finally, the first person around u long enough to be genuinely kind and patient and answer questions

(Neuvillette acc couldn't figure out where u were at first, and was very confused how u got ur voice to boom around this chamber of the tower, after a minute of talking u trusted him enough to tell him to look up lol)

just in time too, he was able to hide u from the archons a little longer bc u were nervous

(u were already intimidated enough by Neuvillette being irl himself, talking to you, let alone all the other gods/vision users, as u realized afterwards thinking abt all the ppl trying to “hunt u down”, that if they all counted as ppl actually wanting to see you, that was a rlly overwhelming amount, esp if their first instinct is to run at you??? what are you, a fan-abused/disrespected kpop idol????)

for the genshin ask game, 8, 10, 35? :3c

8. Favorite nation?

Jajsjd to the surprise of no one it's Mondstadt! It's so homey and warm and I love the festivals sm Comfort nation fr

10. Favorite element?

Also to the surprise of no one it's anemo XD

This one is less Venti bias and more just it's a fun element to play and I've been spoilt by Kazuha and Venti for cc lol

Funnily enough water has been my brand element ™ since I was 10 so it's a surprise that hydro isn't my fav

35. A random headcanon.

Ho b o i (I'm gonna do more than one skjsjd)

I think I'm going to be less predictable and not only do venti hcs for once lmao

Xinyan and Itto would be besties!!! They would compliment each other's style and Itto would love rock music :D They met during the iridori festival through said style complimenting and only got into music friendship later

Albedo and Kazuha would get along too I think! They both have mild temperaments and like snow for how it silences sounds (for Albedo that's a hc but canon for Kazuha)

They like to hang out in dragonspine together, Kazuha watching Albedo draw and Kazu providing some drawing music

Oh also we're back to venti because I have no self control whatsoever but Rhukkadevata and Venti taught the aranara to sing actually they were besties and would often duet together 🥺
