Bows Only: Third Time’s the Charm

[IDs in alt text]

Not only did we have a free Faruzan and a Ganyu banner in 3.6, but 3.7 brought the Ibis Piercer bow in the event and the third Yoimiya banner since this account began. Which of these banners will prove fruitful? Will we get Ganyu? Will Yoimiya finally come home after dodging us twice? Let’s find out...

First thing’s first, finally did the ascension quest! It brought us up to world level 7 and AR 52-- but nearly 53.

and of course, it didn’t take much longer to actually reach 53...

After this, I did something I haven’t done on this account in a long time... I actually played the Archon quest.

Excuse me sir... sir?

Got this crazy screenshot with two Paimons. Woah

Omgoose Hi Kujou Saraaaa hi hiiiii :3

I once again forgot my name was DavidBowie and choked

But anyways look at this incredible Ganyu piece I got!!

Our first max ascension character has got to be Amber, of course. And we’ve finally done it!

We even made some progress in the Abyss!

And after ages, I finally got the Inazuman craftable bow. It’ll be good for Yoimiya... one day...

We got the Liyue statues all the way up to Level 9! Which means we can finally complete chapter 8 of the adventurer’s handbook!

We’re pretty close to finishing chapter 9, too...

Oh I forgot about this until I found the screenshot making this post... this had me cackling. Someone joined my world, asked one question, and left...

idk guys, they may claim to be a simple wanderer who idolizes Kaeya_bulge26 on tiktok, but I kinda get the feeling that... do you think they might actually be Kaeya_bulge26 on tiktok??? I dunno...

Anyway I finished chapter 9

And got Tartag to max ascension!

And Kujou Sara to max friendship!

I then got a 5* on the standard banner! Can you guess who it was?

I hate everything

Back to the Archon Quest! Hi Teppei!!!

Bye Teppei I left to do the Brewing Developments Event

Ok we’re back! Hi Gorou!

Also this guy...

Don’t lie to me Nathan. I know what you are

Yes that’s right. Our time to fight side by side with Gorou has finally come. Not like he’s been here since the very beginning or anything

Venti’s max ascended!!

And I got a northlander billet fighting Boreas! since we already have all 3 bows that use it, we’ll use this to refine Amber’s weapon.

Teppei you goof

Gorou is max friendship as well!

It was then... that we finally got Ganyu!!

and a couple Fischl cons to boot!

And oh Archons we are at World Level 8.

Well, it should be no issue now that we have Ganyu. She’s strong, graceful, and most of all...

She’s great for collecting pigeon meat :)

Anyway. I got another gold on the standard banner, but unfortunately it ended up being nothing more than weapon fodder...

After that, we did the Interdarshan Championship event and got our free Faruzan!

I scrambled to get that event done in a single day... and in 3.7, the King of Invocations event was the same. tbh I was pretty burnt out w/ genshin for a while, I probably would have skipped the 3.7 event entirely if it weren’t for the fact that it gave a bow. I didn’t even bother to screenshot it cause it was late and I forgor. I did get it tho. It’ll be a nice Tighnari weapon when we get him.

And of course, given my pity was reset when I got Ganyu and I wasn’t playing much, it should come as no surprise that... yeah, I didn’t get Yoimiya on her banner. I did get her somewhere else, though!

You can’t escape me in TCG, at least.

Hey, we’ll get her next time. Fourth time’s the charm, right?

Now, 4.0′s coming up, and we’ve got both Yelan and Lyney to go for... I’m going to pull for Yelan first, but should we manage to get her I’ll pull for Lyney after! Since starting this account a year ago, we’ve lost every single 50/50 to Jean... but this patter will finally change on Fontaine. I believe it! I’m manifesting it!!! We WILL get Yelan!!! ...or at least lose the 50/50 to Tighnari instead!

Look, my standards are really low at this point. I just want bow characters man

Also fun fact! I’ve been trying to post this update for literal weeks, but I was experiencing some uhhh. technical difficulties

See, the post editor on web doesn’t let me add alt text. Everywhere on the internet says that there should be an icon with three dots you can click to add the alt text but there. is not. It doesn’t matter if I hover over or click the image, it doesn’t change, there is no icon to click on the image anywhere. But that was fine because it still worked just fine on mobile! So what I’d do for previous posts in this series is make the first draft of the post on web (because that’s where all the screenshots are), save, and then go back and edit the draft on mobile, adding alt text IDs then.

And here’s where the problem arises: recently, for no apparent reason, I can no longer edit or post drafts on Tumblr mobile. I can view my drafts. I can open them. I can change things. But no matter if I hit save changes or post now or anything else, Tumblr then experiences an error, it doesn’t post, and none of my changes are saved. It just goes back in my drafts the way it was before I edited it.

So, if I can’t edit drafts on mobile, I’ll have to do it on web. I quickly tested to make sure it worked, and it did! But I still. can’t add alt text in the tumblr post editor.

Until I had the idea to add alt text not through the post editor but through the Inspect element! Once again, I tested it out and it seemed to work. Adding alt text through the inspect element on web and then saving caused that alt text to show up when viewing the draft on another device! So, I finally was able to finish the post! Literally the day Fontaine drops!

I’m thinking of liveblogging my Yelan pulls. Which will be in like half an hour lol. So! Stay tuned for that!

Ok I return without the two am “I should be asleep and not writing a long post about wind gliders” brain fog. I did my best to insinuate hemp would be a good choice but without the two am brain fog, I do agree it’s probably the best choice.

So! Here are some pros of Hemp:

Tolerates water a lot better, and doesn’t tend to grow mold or mildew. Even fine if exposed to salt water! This is probably why it was boat sail material of choice

Grows across a lot of Teyvat

not very stretchy (we do not need stretch in t this application. In fact stretch is bad)

can stay out in the sun without losing color for quite a while!

However, Hemp from my bit of research on hemp dying, does not seem to take up due quite as well as the other fabrics on my list, and thus may not be the material all of the gliders in the game are made from. Though that may also be the Gacha Game Curse of I genuinely think these outfits aren’t possible without synthetic dye.

As for feathers, I do like it in concept! It really ties gliders back to being wings and I like that in fantasy. Most gliders also converge upon a design similar to real wings as well! With shorter secondaries up at the top and longer primaries at the bottom!

The main problem with the idea of feathers being used is that we… need to invent more birds in this world. Why? Mondstadt has one bird in the entire region I think would have at least a few primaries long enough for use in a wind glider (minus Dvalin. Who is actually starting to look like a good choice). Not. Not one species of bird. One bird. There is one falcon in Dragonspine. Of course this is probably the open world game thing coming back out and we just aren’t seeing them (just like how we aren’t seeing how they grow fiber or food crops in most places), but like. It. It can’t be sustainable to make windgliders from imported feathers or falcons. Especially 2600 years ago when the first one was made.

(edit: there is a species of crane in Mondstadt who is probably a better source of large feather than a FALCON. You can find them by Windrise. I forgor)

Other regions, namely the ibises of Inazuma and Sumeru, gulls and geese of Fontaine, the red Vulture of Sumeru (who has the best feathers for this purpose IMO but also tries to murder people and lives in the middle of the Desert) and maybe the Fantail pigeons.

You can also dye feathers so you might be able to get something that looks like our gliders. The man hours would be absolutely ridiculous though.

Anyways there is one more thing I want to talk about with the gliders. Forcing myself to ignore the shapes of some of these fuckers and say “it’s magic it’s magic” over and over. I don’t think you could make all of these designs for a fashion layer without block dying or painting. For instance, take a look at the wings of the storm strider from Inazuma

…. You. You can’t dye that? I haven’t done a ton of dying, just a tie dye once or twice but. You… you can’t make something like that right? Especially with those fiddly little stripes.

Anyways I’d like to circle back around to the last material I mentioned for potential use in gliders.

Silk.

oh yes I’m making this come full circle. Technically what I’m about to describe isn’t silk exclusive but it’s most associated with silk, because I think some gliders may be decorated in ways similar to how Kimonos are decorated! By yuzen dyeing. Basically paint over an area you don’t want there to be color in with starch or something similar and then carefully dye the area, before washing the starch out. I also want to describe how beautiful wind gliders that are painted could be. Imagine, a wind glider painted like a canvas (paint canvases are historically made of hemp and currently made of linen (rarer) or cotton). Please please please imagine a beautiful painting on a canvas made to take flight.

Anyways once again I still don’t have an answer to how we get lore from our gliders.

Ok. I’m just going to say this is going to be a very long ramble about incredibly minor Genshin Impact lore and design choices that fill my brain. It’s loosely inspired by this prompt on the Genshin 2024 prompt meme, but this is not written in fanfic style despite being mostly headcanon. And Amber not being in it. And also a different belief in the world building of them than the prompt suggests. It’s a lovely prompt though if I ever think of how to make what I’m about to write an actual story I might claim it.

p.s: most of this ramble is just my genshin worldbuilding as related to wind gliders. Thus mostly textiles.

I’m obsessed with Wind Gliders. I fully understand they run on magic, and that attempting to design ones that don’t are nigh impossible (as explained in Sumeru wing’s). However I’m not interested in the magic that fuels them. That’s the hand waving. Necessary, yes, but boring. I’m interested in how they are made in universe.

Now. This is not something the game is interested in. So I’ve made. A lot of stuff up. I’m not surprised Genshin doesn’t really care, it’s an open world game. The basis of fabric production is something the game only lightly touches upon with the assertion that Silk Flowers can make fabric. It’s just called “fabric” in game but I am going to presume, based off its description of being “silky smooth”. That it’s silk. Which would make sense for the region of Liyue and silk has had use in parachute material, so I’m not going to rule out silk as a material wind gliders are made from.

However silk flowers only grow in Liyue, and surely Liyue is not the only country in Teyvat that can make fabric. So it’s time for my work of fiction number one. What kind of fibers are found in Teyvat? Despite everyone in this game looking like they have invented polyester, with its superior dying and fabric printing range, I don’t think Teyvat is a world that process petroleum. Only Fontaine has a level of technological development I would think would be conducive to oil and they have their own renewable energy source in indemnitium. So we will be sticking with natural fibers.

The major varieties of natural fibers that I think are most conducive to wind glider construction include: cotton, hemp (makes canvas and rope), silk, and flax (makes linen).

The locations in game these would be cultivated based on their real world cultivation histories (source is Wikipedia):

Cotton: warmer regions. Primarily Sumeru and Natlan (cotton is an old world and new world crop! We domesticated it more than once), maybe some around the chasm in Liyue but that region does not seem to be doing a lot of agriculture.

Hemp: Hemp is an old world crop. It was imported into South America but only grew well in Chile. Cultivation is a little hard because of the fact that Hemp is the same plant as Marijuana and is thus just sometimes illegal. Probably grows pretty much everywhere but is not commonly found in Natlan. Doesn’t seem like a lot of middle eastern countries grow a lot of it either, so probably not a lot in Sumeru?

Silk: Historically? Liyue and Inazuma. Sumeru has gotten into it more recently. This one is harder to think about though as a plant would have much different growing condition than insects. Plus Inazuma is a more similar climate to Sumeru jungle than Liyue. Honestly it’s 1 am I’m tired I’m not thinking about soil water logging right now.

Flax: Most prominently grown in Mondstadt and Fontaine (once again I’m not thinking about the water table).

Ok. So with the in game lore tying wind glider creation to Mondstadt the sail material being a linen originally would probably be the most likely. Sumeru’s wind gliders also specifically mention a history of attempting to create realistic wind gliders. Those would probably be cotton or maybe silk.

TLDR: different fabrics might be used.

——————

Ok but what about construction? Well to begin with, windgliders seem to have a construction style more similar to a parachute than a plane. This is evidence by the deploy animation! Go jump off a cliff in game and pop out those wings and you’ll see them bend upwards from the middle and then level out. It can also be seen by their shape! The wing tips point downwards a little bit. An internal frame would likely lead to less bowing of the wings, and is thus unlikely as part of the structure.

This, however brings us to the point that I think the wind glider frankly has more parts than they show us in game. If the wings have no internal frame, they would need strings to keep the wings level and to steer them, like a paraglider. Additionally, the game literally doesn’t depict a way that the glider connects to your character’s body. I personally think it is something similar to a parachute harness and that wind gliding posture leans far more forward. Almost horizontal instead of the near vertical posture depicted in game. Mostly because I don’t know how you could rig a vertical posture in and strap it to yourself without adding lots of extra weight.

Now onto production of wind gliders!

The basic wind glider Amber hands us at the beginning is basically the only style of wind glider that is produced ready for purchase. It’s basically only available in Mondstadt, as Mondstadt is the only region with a high enough rate of adventurers, a culture that promotes gliding and an environment conducive to gliding that is safe enough for most people to consider it a reasonable activity. Gliding is a sport in Mondstadt! Especially around the coastal cliffs, where updrafts can keep you airborne for long periods of time! In Inazuma it’s a thing insane people do (I can not imagine that a place with frequent unexpected rain storms and lightning as I imagine in Inazuma would think about a sport where if it rains people might die because the thing keeping them airborne absorbed water and got heavy). When not in the air they hang down. They don’t just disappear like in game, you actually have to pause and take them off and fold/roll them back up when you are done using them. The traveler just wears a backpack with big wings draping off their back like a cape a lot of the time.

The wings of first flight are pretailored, and can be purchased directly through the knights. It is up to the purchaser to adjust the attachment straps and steering strings as necessary to ensure they are taught and secure no matter a person’s proportions. They come in the brown and black we see in game, though color may vary slightly depending on when in the year the wings were produced as a different dye may be substituted. The color was chosen to be very visible against many surfaces, including the sky, the stone color of the area and even the soils most prevalent in Mondstadt! That way if an adventurer crashes and needs rescue they are the most visible.

There is a small craft factory that produces them by hand. They are not made directly by the Knights but are commissioned by them for sale to adventurers and sport gliders. In terms of production, there are two ways I figure gliders are made.

More reasonable due to their high variation in coloring, each “feather” is a separate piece of fabric sewn together (typically by hand, i don’t know how many places in Teyvat have sewing machines. Fontaine probably does). This style would probably have an inside fabric layer of a less breathable fabric, which is one solid piece and is the thing actually doing the work, and then a fashion layer surrounding it. More pieces of fabric sewn together introduces more possibility for air to pass through and cause a lack of drag. I figure most wings in the game are this style.

There is no inside + fashion layer. The glider is one layer that is 1-2 solid piece(s), decorated with decorative stitches and details along the center of the wings where drag production is less important. The Wings of first flight are the most likely to be this style.

“But what about other wing styles?” I hear you ask. Simple. I think those are all artisan one off productions made for the traveler. The Steambird commissioned a wind glider for you from a local artisan to repay you for helping out the city so much. They got you a wind glider because you, the traveler, are known for using a wind glider. This was less notable in Mondstadt but is much more notable as your travels continue. Yes I know the Fontaine wings description indicate you don’t know the source of them. I think the in game description of the wings is written in universe. The artisan who created your wings know things about the world and tell you things about the world in their backstory for the wings. This isn’t a great answer but this is just how I interpret it. The non reputation wind gliders I don’t know how to justify how you receive them in game. I also don’t know how the Frostbearing Tree gives you a craft project.

Anyways all this to say I still don’t actually have an answer for the prompt.

[fireandspiceland]

Hm also getting unreasonably horny recently. so have some vague ideas created by a fellow horny fucker. (Apologies I'm not the most experienced at smut).

nyo Ruseng, hear me out, normal ruseng is already plenty enough but nyo ruseng is a different level of shit .

Anya is so much taller than alice that it's actually funny, but when said shortie pins Anya to the bed with ease despite her always struggling, it suddenly becomes apparent just who is in control of this relationship.

"Aww, too much for little Anya already?" Cooed Alice from her perch sitting on Anyas stomach, kneading her tits with one hand and teasing her clit with another.

"I just started and you're already panting like a bitch in heat, aren't you my sweet?"

Mocking, mocking, mocking, something Alice did too well, and something anya would rather die than addmiting she liked.

Breathless and struggling to articulate a single word, let alone a full sentence "Y-yes Ma'am."

Alice liked to feel in power, and she always got a little more frantic with her strokes and ministrations when Anya called her Ma'am, "Say it again my dear, say it again?"

She was barely in a place to think a coherent sentence, with two of Alice's fingers inside her vagina and her breasts erect and hard from the strokes as well as the light strikes wity her hand Alice did on them.

She tried to speak but nothing would come out other than a moan of pleasure and the stuttered word of Ma'am.

Contented for now, Alice continued, slowly getting Anya closer to climax, as she moaned and whined loudly and clearly, such a wonderful sound her moans were. Alice herself was growing warm and feeling wet, but first she needed to tend to Anya, starting to move her fingers around till she brushed against that spot just right, Anya's body bucked as pleasure coursed through her, moaning at almost a fevered pitch, she wanted Alice to do it again, please she had to.

Breathing a bit heavily herself Alice muttered in Anyas ear "Eager, slut."

Brushing that spot again, lingering for longer this time, until she felt that Anya was close enough, close enough, finally with one last wiggle of the fingers, Anya climaxed, almost shrieking as she did so, soft body almost merging with Alice.

Ok there was that and now something a bit more cracky

"Yo bro have you ever measured your dick against another guys?" It was Alfred, currently high off his ass in his room with Mathias.

"Ew no! That's gay!"

"Mathias we've been dating for 5 years, we are both gay, we've been since high school dumbass."

"Right, sorry I forgor." It is important to know that Mathias is also currently high off his well sculpted ass.

"Come on man let's measure dicks it....ll be really awesome!"

Alfred somehow ready had his dick out, tobias a bit flaccid due to him not having a boner right now (duh)

"My dick isn't working!" Whined Alfred, momentarily forgetting what caused a boner.

"I don't know man should I touch it for you?"

"Hm seems good."

And so mathias did indeed touch Alfred's dick, and got others by squeezing it, and for some reason he decided to lick it too, Alfred seemed to like that so he did it again and again till his dick was hard.

"I fixed your dick man, now fix mine."Alfred did as he was told and sucked off Mathias, who god hard much faster than Alfred had.

They proceeded to measure dicks, and triumphantly Mathias said "Mine is longer!"

"But mine is thicker!"

"Mate most of you is thicker."

"Taking about thicker, I'm hungry, can we get Pizza?""

Sure what would you like."

They were ordering pizza like they hadn't just sucked eachothers dick not 5 minutes ago.

_____________

Pls envision Ukraine in one of those sexy devil costumes, Austria and Germany wearing bras while Hungary towers over them with a riding crop, with Italy playing with the dicks underneath

There's a lot to unpack here and I was thinking about deviding it in two posts but alas I cant be bothered to do shit so lets make a long post even longer hehe

NYO RUSENG ARE YOU KIDDING THATS SO GOOD Im gonna be thinking about them for a while. yeah. anya's tits are on my mind a lot, mostly with matthew's mouth on them cause ruscan is life but... ALICE *head in hands* you're so right making her a dom I love that for her. also you're doing great with the smut writing, especially the last part was really captivating for me.

moving on.. I love crack fics. I love DenAme. Them being stupid and high and having fun with their big dicks is everything. Also "Taking about thicker, I'm hungry, can we get Pizza?" I'M WHEEZING XD

and crossdressing, sexy costumes, hungary with a riding crop and feli being a slut are always a bop.
