So like I just went through almost all your language posts and I was wondering what if like the creator sometimes just switches languages out of no where and everyone is just like:😃. Cuz like they don’t understand what they mean and it happens randomly too or when they’re irritated and they just start cussing in like 3 different languages at once

IM SO SORRY TO DO IT TO YOU-

but i think ive written some stuff abt this before?

u know what tho.

ive got an even better idea. my “go-to” if you will.

Torture Alhaitham.

>:)

^^^ ALHAITHAM RUNNING U DOWN AFTER YOU SAY EXACTLY (1) WORD IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE HE’S NEVER HEARD-

☆

Sun: Gender neutral Reader (you/they/them)

Orbit: SHORT headcanons-ish?, Language shenanigans!

Stars: Alhaitham (suffer lol)

Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: None Known & Trigger Warnings: None Known.

he’s watching you. constantly.

he’s always writing about you.

he’s following you around Sumeru City.

he’s following you around Port Ormos.

he’s at your house-

Alhaitham learns you speak multiple languages before any other akademiya schloar, and he’s submitting a thesis about “the Greatest Lords languages from their home world”

before you can even say “I’ll think about it” in any language u know lol

people have definitely mistaken him as your favored acolyte (not that he does much to deny it)

and talk to him like he’s your secretary?? …oh, welp.

Alhaitham knows your schedule for the next month within a week of following you

mans is willing to do the MOST to get you to sit down and just start talking in a language at him

want food? his specialty dish ingredients are always at the ready at his house

want literature? he’s offering to literally break into the akademiya (or giving you a copy of his house key to have access to his personal library all the time)

(tho kaveh is practically hugging you to his chest as you walk around perusing as he talks ur ear off lmao)

Haitham (he sometimes insists you call him when it’s just you two) wants to singlehandedly be the first person who understands every word you say when u coo at dogs in another language

or cuss out a fictional character for being stupid

CRYING U CANT EVEN GET MAD AT HIM BC

every time u get pissed he’s interrupting every other word you say to ask for definitions/clarifications of slang 😭

send help he’s made a red string theory board of all the languages you’ve used to try and just- make sense of all their rules and when you use them and how to tell the difference and oh no-

Alhaitham’s hanging pictures of you mid-sentence with ur mouth open or even worse when ur yelling.

…u know maybe its not for an akademiya project, maybe he’s just trying to humble you. 💀

☆

thanks again for sending this ask in!! :D

language sagaus my beloved <3

[feroluce]

On Sampo's name (ALL of his names!)

I feel like everyone who's a fan knows the meaning of Sampo's full name by now- the sampo was a legendary item that could magically make endless supplies of gold, flour, and salt, all priceless items at the time! So it works perfectly for a scammer businessman like Sampo. ☆

"Koski" is the Finnish word for "water rapids" which might seem kinda random but actually makes sense for him, since Aha and the Masked Fools are also referred to with water terms:

This kind of analogy isn't specific to only Aha and the Masked Fools, but it does still tie them together. So water rapids fits perfectly! Sampo wants to stir the pot! He likes to shake things around and spice things up! He's taking that stagnant pool and turning it into water rapids! It would actually explain his ridiculous hair color, too; a dark blue wave tipped with white foam haha

EDIT: an amazing contribution from @ricochetlovebombs, who heard it from hoyolab user Rattaboy. If you interpret his first and last name together, instead of separately like I did, you would get something like "money river."

In other words, Sampo's name literally means CASH FLOW SKXJMDMDMD

What I really wanted to talk about is his drag alias name, though, Brughel Poisson, because to me that's where it gets really interesting.

So like in the English version, Sampo goes by Brughel Poisson when he's in disguise. Searching for just "Brughel" itself doesn't seem to get you much at first: a Flemish and Dutch Renaissance painter named Pieter Brueghel the Elder, who was famous for his landscapes and peasant scenery, especially Hunters in the Snow and The Blue Cloak.

He's referred to as "the Elder" because he had a son also named Pieter Brueghel (the Younger), and he began a long line of painters, all named Brueghel. Some of them did original work, and many of them created reproductions of the Elder's art to sell. The Elder was also famous as a printmaker. All of this is hilarious when you remember that Sampo is an infamous counterfeiter and has sold a relic called the Parallel Universe Printer JSKZJSMD

There is also something called Brueghel's Syndrome, named after one of Brueghel's paintings called De Gaper, which pictured a man yawning widely. It's a condition that causes the mouth to open and gape uncontrollably, twisting a person's countenance into a distorted mask of their usual face.

Tumblr doesn't have a way of censoring pics like twitter, so for the sake of the medically squeamish, I'm just showing De Gaper here. But if you look up Brueghel's Syndrome, you can find pictures of actual patients, some of whom really do make faces resembling Aha's comedy and tragedy masks!

In the Chinese and Japanese versions, his alias last name is a lot more silly- In those, "Sampo" is phonetically written as "san-bo" and "san-po." And in disguise, his last names are phonetically written as... "Bo-san" and "Po-san." The Chinese version uses different tones, but still. This smug asshole seriously just decided to write his own name backwards and called it a day NDMKXMDMD

In the English version, Poisson itself is kind of a reused Hoyo asset- it's also the name of Navia's fishing village in Genshin Impact. Which is a really silly name for a village, because it literally just means "fish" in French smzjxkdkdk but!

Again, more water imagery. And in English, if something is suspicious, we say that it's "fishy," which is perhaps the most fitting association yet for someone as shady as Sampo ☆

And for a good while I thought that was the only connection. But then. My beloved @hydrachea, who is an actual native French speaker, dropped this on me right after April Fool's Day:

Poisson is literally the word you use to pull an April Fool's prank.

[harbingersglory]

miko is SO REAL for that, two switches fighting over who gets to dom is the best dynamic. if you have time/want to i'd be curious to hear any sub headcanons you have for lisa, ei, ningguang and/or kafka!

this is so incredibly self indulgent because i see ningguang, ei and kafka in the same sentence and explode. everyone pretend i didnt accidentally pick a fav here um

ningguang i already see as a pillow princess more than anything she fits this so well. absolutely adores going slow + worship. treat this woman like royalty and lord you will not regret it. she goes all out to make the night as perfect as possible. will not let you have a hand in any of it sorry!! this is her turf. perfect atmosphere suited to your tastes (tons of candles, if you like that, or just going by moonlight is also her style). incense, taking a few minutes beforehand just to really get settled in the mood (usually by cuddling, but shes not against just taking a moment for some tea or even a game of chess).

you'll also probably need all that extra time to sort through whatever shes bought this time. when i said she goes the whole nine yards i mean it. she has money and she will use it. very expensive lingerie for herself (and you, if thats your thing.) and literally anything you could ever want. it heavily depends on what you both want out of the night but she spares no mora making it the best she can.

the non-sexual intimacy before hand (and especially after) is important to her she takes it very seriously (for the both of you). you'll probably get dragged into taking a long bath afterwards before actually going to bed. hope you arent too tired! because its gonna be a while before you actually sleep.

because this woman has stamina. technically. she's just really pent up and theres no better way to get that stress out then soft sex with her partner. shes not picky about positions really but she has a soft spot for laying on her stomach with a pillow to prop up her hips (really accentuates the pillow princess part, huh /j). if you start massaging her she's gonna wake up the entirety of liyue. she's normally quiet but lord knows she needs it and she cant keep quiet for the life of her.

genuinely just very soft and gentle. she just needs some good pampering after a long day to unwind (preferably with a glass of wine, but thats for later).

ei..is very awkward about it. she probably gets embarrassed if you bring it up but shes not. opposed per se. she's just used to domming that she has no idea what to do. genuinely a mess the first time around but she gets the hang of it quick (shes a quick learner :])

also you just really get to see a side of her you usually never do! she's usually big on topping and shes pretty calm and composed about it (usually). not cold, just..she doesn't outwardly express things often. except when shes subbing. its like a switch flipped

just dont tease her about how visibly flustered and awkward she is about it. because she is. horribly so. shes still pretty quiet but thats just ei, to be fair. its like a cute, nervous puppy. call her a good girl though and she might short circuit so badly the shogun comes out

though i also see ei as someone who prefers giving even when subbing. a dangerous combo considering her body is a puppet and, yknow, cant get tired. you will have to pry this woman off you shes lowkey insatiable when it comes to pleasing you. 100% less of a brat, though. you give her an order shes following through with it before you can blink. efficient!

kafka is similar to miko, imo. maybe yelan too?? she gives off big brat vibes when she subs. she wont use suggestion in bed unless your 100% cool with it and even then its usually when she doms but when she subs? shes a menace. bit of a masochist, to be honest. she'll push your buttons until you crack and decide to punish her but woops, thats just what she wants so she wins anyway!

she cant feel fear but she certainly enjoys a good thrill. specifically sensory deprivation. cover her eyes with a blindfold and keep her guessing. its probably her favorite part, the closest she can get to fear. especially if you add a bit of pain into it.

choking, spanking, bit of blood..this woman is smiling through it all like she's the happiest woman in the world. especially if it makes you frustrated. shes like it desperate and rough.

if thats not your speed, though, she can get that thrill in other ways. semi public sex is her jam so sandwich her against a wall in some random supply closet and make her scream. shes not quiet even in the comfort of whatever room shes booked this time and you'll have to physically shut her up if you dont want to get caught. shes still a brat at heart, though. put your fingers in her mouth and she'll bite. your gonna need the patience of a saint to dom kafka.

[sweet-pink-bees]

the only argument against bi furina is the fact she literally only seems to go around with the girls at this point. ayaka chiori chevrue yoimiya navia clorinde

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this, bi women can in fact date or prefer women and still be bi, bi women can in fact have only female friends and still be bi.

And this is a silly little headcanon that I a bi woman made, you don't need to pull the umm actually on me or try to dispute my post

[joshy-tomato]

It's been on my mind recently of like what-if Arlefuri reconcile. But imlike away later when Furina fled Fontaine to start a new life from the ground up. With Arlecchino finding her back a few years later and now wished for reconcilation but Furina has changed over the years

It's been on my mind recently of like what-if scenario. Where instead the usual Arlefuri reconcilation after the Archon Quest is Ina span of a few years.

What-if when Arlecchino wanted reconcile with Furina she found out that Furina fled or disappeared from the radar completely. No amount of search will find her again and she truly gone.

For awhile Arlecchino is often stayed awake with the feeling of guilty for what she had done for Furina to point it's almost feels like she is getting eaten alive. Nibbling away from her insanity.

Then after a few years later she finds Furina again in Petrichor living what seems to a normal mortal life as just 'Furina'. Arlecchino want to reconcile like before to ease her guilt but Furina has changed alot from those years and can't say she is the one as before.

Furina on the other hand is conflicted. She still hates Arlecchino for what she did all those years ago when she attacked her but at the same time she can't blame her for it she was doing what she can to save Fontaine and didn't know better.

But still the wound feels fresh as before.

Furina feels sad for Arlecchino's situation but never said she forgive her since she I kinda conflicted on what to say.

So after awhile Arlecchino tried to appeal to Furina by giving her apology gifts or helping her on her daily work.

Basically learning one another in their much more emotionally stable place

thats interesting. Honestly, I have always felt like in canon Furina should have left the court after the trial, at least for a while. Stay away and find herself.

This works too.

Trick or treat

Your treat is....

The Homoerotic Card Fight from Te Diligo chapter 11 but I turned it into a meme!

(Yes this is based on the dog playing chess meme)

[productofaritual]

Man I have some drawings for your GDF!Au but my phone doesn't work so well and it gets om my nerves bc 💫tradicional art💫.

Anyway, some asking [i may not know everything you posted sorry is braindamage from working in a society]

Do es emerald duo meet/become friends in the academy? Bc i was to writte some scenes about that. So funny to think they are making fun of the teacher for being a nerd [techno with the highest score in the class in their hands].

Also, do you have something for tallerduo/radioduo/burgerduo? Im having a obssesion there but cant find anything and i May as well do something for this beatiful au.

Keep going,

Interactions btw canon characters and gdf!characters are canon?

Tntduo is a thing? [The best ask of the week i now]

DID YOU SEE THE NEW ZONE WHERE WE CAN BE FUCKINH DINO 🦖 ??? Tommy would be crazy there.

Anyway, i hope you are okey and im happy to see you in my notifications.

At this point you've added so much I would call it OUR au

Ok so I have not considered most meets yet, mainly I just planned to vaguely follow canon within genshin rules (as if I remember canon anymore) but emduo meeting in the academy is honestly a VERY cool idea so I approve >:) feel free to write about it absolutely, it makes me so happy to see someone else interested in the au

Like I said, most of it just follows canon, but it doesn't have to (like the ending of the archon quest having a SUCCESSFUL nuking of Pandora's, Dream being killed by Traveler, etc.) So go wild, just tag me when u do so I can see

I've thought about Ranboo meeting Venti on his trips to Mondstadt and also Schlatt going for a drink w him and Venti just drunkenly spills the fact he's Brabatos and Schlatt's like "cool, anyway", but I'm not rlly sure about anyone else. Maybe Tommy's a giant Barbara stan what do I know.

Ofc tntduo is a thing. We love toxic yaoi here

DUDE I KNOW. ALSO LITERALLY I MAKE GDF!DSMP'S GIMMICK NOT DYING AND GUESS WHAT. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER GENSHIN GETS CANON REVIVAL. COINCIDENCE???? I THINK THE FUCK NOT

Gdf!Shroud is canon now btw, he's a Tepetlisaur and he has a habit of digging out of Tommy's house and running away. He always comes back tho.

Always happy to see u in my notifs too ^^ the flood yesterday was a giant serotonin boost :P

[kaeyapilled]

In simple terms, that the reason the clothes are so Kaeya and Klee is because they weren't things that the *original* human director made by his own inspiration: they were designed by the duplicate since he left, and the specifics likely defined while Kaeya and Klee were in the bottle.

And what did we just establish the domain does? Adapt its own reality to include, not exactly illusions, but real physical things that are only 'true' or 'real' while one is in the domain. Things, which are derived from the greatest wishes of its visitors, for both ways for reality to be and their own accomplishments. Even if it's not possible by outside world mechanics, like roller coster physics.

And what's an inconsistency in Kaeya's outfit that shouldn't be capable of in universe modification, likely isn't a model mistake, and was heavily speculated to be something he'd deliberately want it to look like for it to be that way, even before we knew how he got the costume?

oh this is SUCH a concept i love this explanation so much. will be adding this to my headcanon belief system because tbh i still refuse to believe it was just a design mistake it has to have been deliberate right? and this is a really nice way to explain it while still abiding by in-universe rules lmao.. also i bet that kaeya suppressed that so violently and immediately that it made him dizzy. will he be having a moment of self reflection some time later? inevitably. but it Cannot happen while he's near anyone else lets compartmentalize that shit up babey

[generalsdiary]

you won't get disappointed in kuro games when it comes to their fanservice lol their other game, punishing gray raven is basically like a hack & slash game with a side of dating sim lmao, the pining and yearning and looooots of angst. the plot is good too and very dark.

though the downside is there are few men, they only release one male character a year and im hoping they won't do it to wuwa :")

dear anon you had me in the first half ngl TT

the downside just might be too harsh for me lol. ofc I don't only play for the characters; but to go into more detail, zzz is a good example. zenless zone zero has a rly good world built, and the story telling is v well done, it is just so enjoyable and light and easy and... there wasn't a single new man/masc character on banner since release (until this one with the 4 star Seth Lowell). I honestly had to bench zzz and wuwa (I did jump into wuwa the other day to check up on stuff), cos playing 4 gacha games as a min-maxer isn't something I could afford timewise. for the case of zzz, where the MAJORITY of the game is combat and I basically have low choices with masc characters, it made it less enjoyable for me ngl. I get it, fem characters make them money, and sadly the characters themselves also suffer for it. how many times are they made shallow, without depth or any good characteristics and history, just cos it is enough to slap abnormal bodily autonomy to attract people who only care about the physicality? (I'm talking about gacha games in general, & I'm not saying that this is every fem character).

whereas when it is about masc characters they make more of an effort. (patriarchy keeps hurting the world even when the games have more fem than masc) and when they do make fem characters without the "assets" they make them a foggy age (basically many ppl assume the character is a minor), and they develop a much better story surrounding them. ex., Huohuo (hsr), Furina, Hutao (gi).

my point being around zzz/wuwa; I may come to play the game for the world and the story and the lore (I'm huge on world exploration and the story) but once I complete everything and there's a whole month before the next update, I'm left with the characters I got, and building them. and when it lacks characters that appeal to me and my preferences it sucks asf and I'll keep playing, but to have low to no (hi3) options of masc characters- it does affect my motivation to continue playing it.

regarding wuwa they have really good and diverse masc characters (genshin could make more men like that), moreover in comparison to zzz, they (wuwa) actually release new masc characters. I can say I'm quite satisfied, as a Jiyan/Calcharo main (Xiangli Yao has my attention atm he's a pretty one+clever) tho I wonder when we will meet Calcharo in game (did I miss something help?).

but you are so right anon, it feels a tiny bit fanservice-y (luckily not in the icky way!), but I don't have experience with kuro games like you do- I would love to hear your predictions regarding wuwa in comparison with their previous games owo. ty for the ask!

[solaaresque]

[CAR CRASHING] [GLASS SHATTERING] [POLICE SIRENS] haiii rezerat. if i may..... "searching for them in the crowd, and they're looking right at you with the fondest of smiles" with mister alberich please. swings you around

when people think about mondstadt, it is a busy place in their mind's eye. the people are always hustling and bustling about, led by the carefree wind to their new destination and the city centre, with its buzzing marketplace, only serves to reinforce this stereotype.

everyone knows someone here; a friend of a friend, a brother-in-law’s sister, a colleague from work. the crowds throng and you find yourself following them, trailing like a directionless anemo crystalfly on the wind.

you crane your neck, searching for familiar faces, and you spot many. swann and huffman, the latter stuffing his face with mushroom skewers whilst the former simply watches, sarah and donna hand-in-hand with flowers in their hair, librarian lisa minci who catches your eye and gives you a sly wink.

yet none of those people convince to to stay and chat. you move onwards.

after a few moments you stop near the statue of barbatos, feet aching. your wanderings have taken the better part of an hour, and you solemnly munch on one of diona’s non-alcoholic specialties, mondstadt grilled fish, to get your energy back up. he said he would be here… but of course, he’s always fashionably late, no matter how much it irks you.

your eyes wander the crowd, idly looking for a glimpse of blue hair, when you spot a single diamond-shaped pupil glinting at you from the shadows under the eves of houses. you try to call out to him, surprised, and end up choking on your food.

when you look at kaeya again, a smile rests upon his face—not one of his sleek, catlike ones reserved for company but one that is gentle and soft. feeling flustered against your better judgment, you turn your head away, then curse yourself for that.

"might i ask what a pretty thing like you is doing, all by your lonesome~?" kaeya smirks, showing a glint of wicked-sharp teeth.

"waiting for someone," you deadpan. "but it looks like he isn't going to show up."

"you wound me, darling," kaeya says with a mock-hurt expression. still, there's a sparkle to his eye (singular) that can oft be found when the two of you are engaged in your usual banter. "i'm here now, aren't i? doesn't that count for something?"

"i suppose," you agree.

"shall we?" he offers you his arm, and you pretend to think it over. he shoves your shoulder affectionately, and you smile.

"we shall."
