#get it aether get the geo grandpa

[geofeast]

@princepsstellas sent a meme:

SPOTS TO KISS + 6

a kiss on the cheek.

"Hmm?" That was certainly a surprise. He'd been talking as they drank tea, and suddenly Aether was on his feet and around the table. "Now what was that for?"

[lostacelonnie]

Oh hello holy shit i didnt realize that was gonna be such a soon thing for you welcome back. They can try to make aether canon all they want but for me lumine always will be. She has better smug expressions & the game is better with her. I finished the major 3.4 quests & jeht is still so gay for lumine. Same with ayaka during the event. I do not understand faruzan but she's the only 4 star i dont have currently & i want her. Even if she is wanderer support. Fish hangout is the one we deserve along with amber hangout. Monafish is so good i love that fischl is so comfortable with mona & sometimes makes her food. Fischl deserves so much she's my original genshin fave. Dr did irreparable damage to my brain but it was a fun time. My friend group cannot say the correct name anymore we just toss out random mixes of words that start with the same letters. Cryo hypo bad fight its the equivalent annoyance of monstadt's talent domain to me. I cheese rifthound with yoi/xingqiu/albedo/geo grandpa because i hate grinding it. Yo that all sounds so fun! Im jealous you got to see the lights ive always wanted to see them but they dont drop south enough here. Ahh thought that may be so. Avery seems cool i am simply bad at talking to people because social anxiety. I dont. Think i saw a eula ad but i saw her & the cryo ladies have so far been a weakness for me so. Bianka is worth it she's so good. A local used bookstore near me had up to book five of rangers apprentice so i decided to buy them because i can. Love those books.

ahsjfgkgjksfjjk fair. FOR REAL it just feels... Right. ik its supposed to be the same experience no matter which twin u play as but lumine is the superior one. i havent done the quest after the dirge of bilqis yet but yeah she is VERY gay for lumi. ooh havent seen the event yet so if its finished ill probably just check it out on yt. i dont have a BUNCH of 4 stars [xingqiu im sorry my son] but faruzan is interesting. OH MY GOD AMBER HANGOUT SO TRUE.... tho well probably never get it cos she has a story quest T-T but yessss they are so important to me. YEAHHH DANGANRONPA IS. something. but it IS very fun and some chars still kinda live in my brain rent free. fair lmaoooo. also god yeah. mondstadts talent domain is my Enemy. and very understandable, honestly. rifthound worst genshin boss frfr. addhfjkhn it WAS very fun!! and rip, tho im sure youll see them someday !! and yeah i also have social anxiety, but fortunately me and av have known each other for a. Long time irl. and realllllll actually pretty ladies are a surprisingly common reason for me to join new fandoms. bianka my beloved, not only is she pretty meta rn but i also additionally power her by my love. i got into rangers apprentice in like. 3rd grade? 4th grade? because of my classmate and yeah.

Who would main who? Modern AU HCs

A somewhat-extension to my Modern Acting AU hcs where Genshin is a popular series made into a video game based on the actors (but you don't need to know that to read this). Now the actors have to play the game, who would they main?

HCS 1 || HCS 2 || MASTERLIST 1

Kaeya

Would main himself honestly. Doesnt even mind that he's a starter character.

Probably whaled for Character Diluc, now he's got his brother on C6 with wolf's gravestone and CRIT artifacts.

(wonders why it's so hard to C6 himself 🤔)

He's the type to show off his own build and Diluc's build on twitter and instagram

Probably sacrifices Diluc on Barbatos' statue whenever he does a 10 pull (he'd stream it too)

Has all the other characters but probably stuck with himself, Lisa, and Amber (+Diluc) just to support the starters 😌

Diluc

Gives me F2P player vibes at the start of the game 😭 He only played because he's the actor for the series

Kaeya probably had to carry him when he started.

Now he's kind of hooked. This man is loaded and doesn't hesitate to buy primogems and kits 🤩 it's a secret though

I don't think he'd main himself, it's kind of awkward for him so he uses whatever new character he gets and builds them

He's friends with Jean irl so she's probably a regular on his team tbh

Kaeya gets ignored (he says it's bc he hates him but he actually just finds it as awkward as using his own character)

Zhongli

help 😭 this grandpa does not know how to play.

As mentioned in the hcs, he only plays on set where Xiao and Hutao are there to help him

Co-ops a lot because that's the only way he can go on with the game tbh

Xiao and Hutao piloting for him like it's their second account 😔

Finds his character super useful, Xiao helped him build his Zhongli, he's smart enough to know that he only needs to long press his elemental skill for a shield

Shield = protection = no die = wait for Xiao and Hutao to defeat whatever for him

He mains whoever Xiao and Hutao left on his party list tbh

Childe

Mains himself, pretty obvious 🤨

His party can go from all of the tall women or all of the tall men tbh

Did not pull for the Ayato banner. He's scared to ever lose 50/50 to an Ayato. Needless to say, he doesn't want one ever

Hates it if another character gets artifacts better than his so he has to work on his build all over again

Will definitely put the other Harbingers on his team once they become playable

Signora didn't tell him she'll die and leave the cast :( so he was pretty disappointed when her episode was released

Thoma

Tries to have everyone on friendship level 10 🥺

Please don't ask him who he mains, he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings

He probably has all the characters on at least level 50 just in case they see his account, so no one feels left out

In truth, he played the starters for a while before switching to Ayato, Ayaka, himself, and geo Aether (a rare Aether main!!)

Feeds the stray dogs in Liyue and Dragonspine

Ayato

I feel like he would main Ayaka just because they have a sibling bond on set. He also has Thoma on his team!

Ayaka probably also mains him and Thoma and they do co ops a lot

Also whales 🐳

He built himself to lvl 90 and really good artifacts but he doesn't use his character as often, kind of like Diluc

But whenever he co ops with Ayaka and Thoma, they each use their respective character!! Goes with the "travel together with friends" trope on genshin

Itto

He's kind of like Childe. Mains himself and works extra hard on his build.

But he also tries to level up all the other characters!! Doesn't care if it's a 4 star or 5 star, Itto will make you shine!!

Does damage showcase of 4 stars just to prove how all of them can be super strong

[industria-adastra]

AU maybe?

genshin impact with traveler Aether (technically this also works if we switch travelers) but everyone has to deal with the fact that Aether (and subsequently Lumine) are old. And by old I mean at least 52,000 years old. (Actually a twins traveler AU might just be funnier)

Zhongli and Venti now have to reconcile with the fact that they are not the oldest. Zhongli especially after having thought of them as still younger. The age gap might just blue-screen most of the cast.

Breaking news: Local Geo Grandpa gets out-grandpa-ed

Grandpa/Grandma-like Aether and Lumine? Yes. Do I know where to take such an AU? No.

genshin impact: how I feel so far

I’ve just finished the prologue! Here are all of my thoughts on Genshin Impact thus far presented in a very confusing and non- linear manner.

My first and most resounding opinion on this game is that it’s amazing. The graphics are insane— the lighting, the weather, clouds passing by. All of the characters have designs so ridiculous it’s hard for me to draw them and it makes me feel like the game is just flaunting the flawless animation of all these characters’ extremely convoluted designs.

places

I love the locations sO mUCH. My favorite places so far are the two major cities— Mondstadt is just so cheery and fits the vibe of the early game (by early game I mean the dvalin quest line). It’s presented as large but in a very linear manner that you learn quite quickly. It has plenty of places to buy stuff from and just genuinely feels like a cheerful, bustling, fantasy city. fantastic and I’m in love. Liyue Harbor is presented in a completely different architectural style and it’s excellent. Mondstadt makes me feel safe, Liyue Harbor makes me feel like I’m in a wild metropolitan center.

And importantly, both of these cities feel genuinely alive. All the romantic hullabaloo in Mondstadt, Yi Zhu trying to cheer up his little sister Yi Xian after their mother’s death, the mysterious locked door in Mondstadt, Anna making wishes to recover from her illness at the well and her brother going there at night to collect all the coins so he can pay for her medication.

Besides the main cities my other favorite location has been Qingce village. The walk over to it is very nice and the town has an incredible vibe with the scale- like terraced fields. And even beyond that, the town is filled with old citizens and children— showing how all of the young adults in the town have left and decided to try to find a new and more exciting life in Liyue Harbor.

I’m having a hard time thinking of something I don’t like about the locations and honestly I’m drawing a blank. I really love all the set design/ map design. I know I will never finish that “collect every geoculus and anemoculus” quest because that’s just not the kind of dedication I have to this game (unless I get really stuck at an adventure level, though.... then things are a wild card.)

adventure ranks

this is my biggest problem with Genshin Impact.

You can’t progress the main quest (which honestly I enjoy more than a lot of the side quest because of my sheer attachment to these characters and their stories, which I’ll talk more about later) until you hit a certain adventure rank. And it’s a real pain getting them. I’m the type of person who gets freaked out when fighting a level 1 ruin guard with a set of level 39 characters and an inventory full of honey chickens. I do sometimes go into this state of bloodlust when fighting hillichurls and I feel like actually seeking out their camps to return them to dust myself but then I find one of them dudes with a shield and remember that my one pyro unit is amber and uhh.... that feeling goes away real fast.

I hope that the game does what they did with adventure ranks 18-20 more often— my next quest in Liyue is locked until rank 23 (I am not looking forward to increasing my world level can I please just play on easy difficulty until forever) but I get this cool new Darknight Hero quest that I’ve been looking forward to to tide me over until I hit level 21 and can go on another bookworm date with Lisa. Yes, spacing out the main quest line is okay, but I really like having a lot of side quests in between as well so I can gain adventure ranks organically rather than specifically hunting for geo/ anemoculi.

characters

I love the characters in this game maybe as much as I love the locations in this game. Maybe more.

My favorite character is Kaeya because I am a sap for antiheroes with attitude problems. More on him later.

I’ve also become very attached to Amber. She’s just such a positive soul and she so genuinely wants to do what’s right and she’s so useful for lighting things on fire which is something I do not have any other character to do (holding out for Xiangling at level 20....). But she’s just not a great character fighting wise. She takes a while to load arrows and they aren’t super useful compared to any of the other seven characters I own. But she can light stuff on fire and I don’t have anyone else to do that so she must remain on my team for the time being.

next up is Lisa. I like Lisa. I know she’s there for the perverts who want to see anime women’s chests but I genuinely do like her. Her personality is, well, very different from all the other characters’ and I kind of like her constant over the top- ness. Her ability is useful but I switched her out for Chongyun in my team and I can’t bring myself to get rid of Aether or Kaeya yet.

I rolled Xingqiu, Beidou, and Noelle but haven’t used them much. All I know about them is “water bookworm young master whos closet good at fighting”, “pirate who stopped me from getting that fecking file folder I was trying to get”, and “maid whose voice I like in the english and Japanese version”. (Side note, I mainly use the Japanese voiceovers because I prefer them. Downside is I sometimes can’t understand a word the characters are saying but it’s worth it for the voice actors)

I also got Chongyun who seems like a nice boy. I rolled him after I started playing with Japanese voiceovers, though, so I don’t understand most of his idle dialogue. All I really know about him is that he’s super positive and he loves ice cream and that’s good enough for me

Next up is my somewhat problematic fave Kaeya. It’s morally bad that you can’t tell whether he’s lying or telling the truth but all it does is make me like him better as a character. I can 100% see why he’s paired up with Jean and Amber as the most visible characters in power in the Knights of Favonius— they all sort of fulfill different roles. I really want to see more of him in the main plot, not when he’s lying about his grandpa hiding pirate treasure. Also we know nothing about his real motivations and actual past besides “diluc’s step brother, maybe like saw diluc kill his dad or like saw diluc upset after his dad was killed wE dOnT kNow”. and I want to know.

Can’t talk about Kaeya without talkin about his bro Diluc. I can’t wait to see him in this next quest line. I really want Diluc on my team. Same with Jean. That is all.

Penultimately I’m gonna talk about my personal favorite god of freedom whose powers just got stolen, maybe god, definite good bard Venti. I really like Venti. He’s got a lot of charm and he just fits perfectly as the easygoing free god of Mondstadt. I started yelling when that signora gal nabbed him. don’t worry venti we will kill her for you

Annnnd finally here’s my opinions on Aether (I chose him to be my protagonist) and Lumine (the Princess, I think). I do kinda enjoy them. They’re a bit of the typical blank protagonist type (can be sassy, can be cruel, can be honest, can be kind) but Lumine’s dark turn is just fascinating and I want to learn more about their relationship and how it’s changed since they were separated. Where even is Lumine? What will Aether do when he learns that his entire purpose in life has been in charge of the ones who’ve been hurting his new friends? It sounds like a fascinating situation.

(also Venti refers to Lumine as Aether’s “imouto”/ little sister— does he call Aether Lumine’s “otouto”/ little brother if you chose Lumine as your protag? which twin is older? is it determined by your choice of protagonist? hmmm)

least favorite things

Besides my problems with adventure rank, I have two other main issues with Genshin Impact.

Firstly, basically all of the female characters are dressed in outfits that seem designed to show as much skin as possible.

annnd secondly it’s extremely difficult to roll five star characters (Jean, Venti, Diluc) without paying money. this is a good way for the company to make cash but it’s also kind of annoying.

wrap- up

Ok! Those are all my main thoughts for now, at the end of the prologue and before chapter 1! I’m off to play the darknight hero quest (probably gonna post some of my mishaps here too). also I want more primogems we should be able to pet dogs npcs excitement bye

[vault-of-reblogs]

I can’t wait for sumeru. I just know they’ll add in the chaos. Out of every archon out there child reader would feel more comfortable with kusanali mostly because kusanali is child size and looks like the perfect playmate.

Zhongli tho could finally live up to being a geo grandpa. 10/10 the only person to put reader to sleep if she can’t. It’s just … the voice🤌✨. Good asmr to sleep on.

But ohhh Dvalin if reader likes dragons she’ll be constantly around Dvalin. And Dvalin being a dragon is naturally possessive and protective. Would bat away Venti like an annoying fly if he even try to take her away. Then Zhongli would just turn into his exuvia form or whatever his dragon form is called in hopes of luring back reader to him.

Geo grandpa dragon instinct tells him to take care and protect the younglings. Even if it means committing mass destruction in the process.

Aether just looks so done with them. What’s up with Teyvat and it’s gods wanting to take his sisters away?

Another imagine but with Ei this time.

Ei who would simultaneously die and ascend far beyond Celestia once reader shyly calls her big sister. I feel like Ei would be so awkward trying to be close with reader because reader is scared of strangers. And ei knows her shogun form is intimidating. She’ll get help from yae tho and it rewards with cuteness overload.

The cuteness attack was so affective that it even took out the shogun and ei at the same time. You could see stems coming out of her ears because of the overload.

WE FORGOT ABOUT GOROU AND WATATSUMI!!!

I swear the first thing child reader would do once they met Gorou is touch his ears very gently. Gorou is just a flustered mess but just like everyone else once he got reader his not letting go. Aether wouldn’t be able to separate them this time around. Since reader really likes Gorou’s fluffy ears and will cry if she was told to let go. Gorou would be snarling at anyone that make reader cry.

Idk about you but watatsumi is like a underwater/mermaid theme park. It’s so pretty too.

The chasm, child reader and then the perilous event… Child reader would definitely like Itto a LOT. He just has that big bro energy. Ooohhhh imagine child reader comforting xiao, cupping his cheeks with her own little hands and tries to rub away the teal color stuff on his face. Xiao tried to stop child reader from touching the wound inflicted by karma but to everyone, except Lumine and Paimon, surprise not only did it not affected child reader but the wound healed up and the lingering karmic debt seems to dissipate the more child reader rub Xiao’s face. The two Inazuman and Lumine plus Paimon gush over how adorable child reader is meanwhile those from Liyue are like ‘what the heck just happen?!’

Child reader would be in the Interlude and mostly there for support for Lumine and the others XD despite she and Mushi can't find or anything puzzles are something reader could help to figure out OwO!

YESSSS ITTO!! Honestly I legit ranted a friend on how Itto would get along with Child reader and my friend said Itto might just run around Inazuma with Child reader on his head laughing at how fast Itto is (And also wanting to ride Itto's head while he fights but Lumine and Shinobu forbids reader and Itto from doing that 😂😂)

And yep Despite reader does not have her creator powers it sometimes appear to help her so out of curiousity she would heal Xiao's wound despite Xiao told her to not get near him but child reader legit pouts and slowly cup Xiao's cheeks to heal the wounds as Xiao who was surprised to not feel them anymore while reader runs to Lumine for praise if she did good for healing Xiao which the Traveler pats her head for this saying she did well making the Child happy ^^

Itto would be amaze and give reader a high five while Kuki would be giving reader pats. Mushi is just in the air flying in happiness. Yanfei would be amaze but also start realize despite reader does not have memories of using the charas as vessels the child still has her powers but only it appears when needed. Yelan would like Yanfei but also makes sure to protect Reader since if they do bring her to the surface the child would get kidnapped easily once word spreads shes the creator but at the same time Yelan enjoys Child Reader's companion since the kid doesnt really annoy anyone in the quest and is just there to support and help them XD

Meanwhile Xiao is just still cupping his face and checking his his body for wounds to see if they all healed and yep they are all healed as Xiao also released his Karma debt was silent due the fact Child reader is nearby.

Honestly i feel like Child Reader would enjoy Xiao and always like to give him hugs (Also not reader hoping Xiao and Lumine be together)

But yeah hopefully once i make my story ans reach this event im sure you will enjoy it with reader and Mushi relationship with the others XD
