party girls!mavuika and xilonen x inexperienced!reader

warnings: smut (minors/ageless blogs dni), wlw content, xilonen and mavuika are sorority party girls, reader is an inexperienced nerdy college girl, fingering, cunnilingus, exhibitionism, dom!characters x sub!reader

a/n: everybody say thank you @myfriendscallmebun for these yummy thoughts. love you, pook

Imagine being in a polycule with Mavuika and Xilonen- specifically being the cute nerdy inexperienced college girl that’s getting sandwiched between these two popular sorority party girls

Mavuika preferring to take you out clubbing for the night- pulling you to dance with her on the dance floor under near total darkness, save for the neon colored strobe lights occasionally illuminating the provocative way she has you pulled against her.

She’ll pull your back to her chest, hands roaming up and down your body in such a way that she’s practically groping you- and you don’t have much objection when she slips her hand under that miniskirt she picked out for you.

It’s so loud and claustrophobic in the club, you’re thankful that not even she would be able to hear your moans from the way she’s curling her fingers inside you so deliciously, although you’re amazed no one seems to notice, or if they do, that they don’t care.

Mavuika isn’t shy about letting others know that you’re her cute little girlfriend, and that no one else could ever have a chance with you- not with the way she’s making you cum on her hand like this.

Xilonen on the other hand, enjoys dragging you along to the frat parties and house parties she frequently DJ’s at. She prefers the less intense lighting, the free booze, and the shitty party snacks that get left out in the kitchen.

When she’s not at the turntables she’s usually got you pushed up against a couch so she can do bodyshots off of your stomach. Her favorite part about house parties is that it’s usually easy to grab your arm and drag you off to one of the bathrooms as soon as she gets turned on.

She’ll pick you up like you’re nothing and perch you on a bathroom counter so she has plenty of room to kneel down and lap at your cunt like it’s the first thing she’s drank all night. She takes her time dragging her tongue over your clit, her fingers massaging that gummy spot inside of you so slowly it’s almost torturous.

Even your climax with her is long and drawn-out; a stark contrast to the fast-paced thumping of the music you can still feel resounding through you.

And if you thought parties alone with them were bad enough, be prepared for when they take you out together; Mavuika pulling you against her at a frat party, your ass practically grinding on her hips while her fingers assault your cunt. Xilonen watching intently from her perch at the turntables, fiddling with the music so she can time the bass drop to the moment you cum all over Mavi’s hand.

They’ll trade places, Mavuika coming in to take over while Xilo takes a break between sets- tugging you along to a spare bedroom so she can start eating you out while you’re still shaky and sensitive.

Once a playlist gets set up, Mavuika is coming back in to ensure that by the time you leave, you’ll be a sobbing and shaking mess <3

Mavuika pulling you into her lap on the bed, hands shoved under your shirt and playing with your chest while Xilonen shoves her tongue in and out of your hole. Xilo leaving scratches all over your thighs while Mavi is leaving hickies on your neck.

They’ll pull a mirror in front of you so you can see how that mascara Mavuika helped you put on is running down your face as Xilonen draws another orgasm out of you with her mouth.

xilonen would much rather sleep the day away holding you than she would anything else, which is why her love language is physical touch.

xilonen heard her name being called from the bottom of the tree. she found she couldn't doze off by herself anymore, which made her a little upset trying to fall asleep under the warm gaze of the sunlight.

"xilonen, are you up there?" ah, it was your voice. she peaked her head over the tree before gesturing for you to climb up.

you settled into your spot next to her in the tree once you made it up safely. ever since you two started to date, she found a different tree with a wider base so you could accompany her in her naps.

"i was wondering when you'd come. i couldn't fall asleep," she chuckled, grasping onto your waist as soon as you settled in. "which is weird, because normally i can sleep the day away."

now it was your turn to laugh. "maybe you just can't sleep without me here anymore."

she sighed, nuzzling her face into your shoulder and closing her eyes. "archons, maybe not."

she moved you around, eventually finding a good spot for you on the base of the tree, her head on your chest, laying almost right on top of you. you stroked her hair, kissing the top of her head occasionally as her grip around your back only got tighter.

"you're eager today, xilo'," you smiled, taking her braid into your hands and smoothing over it.

"guess i am," she mumbled into your chest, her eyes closed once again. "but i'd rather be here with you than doing anything else. those forgery projects can wait until you have to go."

you nodded, moving to scratch her scalp. that went on for a few more minutes before she eventually fell asleep, her breathing evening out into soft snores occasionally.

"goodnight, xilonen, even though it's just the afternoon."

mualani always has to end and start every day with a hug and a kiss. or, when she randomly spots you in the middle of the day. that works too.

you weren't really expecting to see mualani until later during dinner time.

she was out fishing with kinich and kachina. oh, and we can't forget ajaw. it wasn't a trio, silly you, it was a quartet.

you walked up to them, kinich being the first to notice you. mualani seemed very wrapped up in whatever bait she had caught, yelling to kachina to grab the bucket to put the fish she caught in. you greeted kinich, asking him how his day was before mualani finally noticed your presence.

"y/n!" she shouted before leaping into your arms, wrapping her legs around your waist and hugging you tight. she didn't seem like she intended on letting go, so you staying standing there for a little while before she jumped off and motioned for you to sit in the sand, watching kachina fish and ajaw get pissed off about "not receiving a turn" or whatever.

mualani got comfortable, laying her head on your thighs as you leaned against a bigger rock on the sand. she held your hand in hers, talking about all the fish she caught and what dinner was going to be tonight. you nodded along, congratulating her on her first time fishing (hard to believe, but she was persistent on making you believe it).

she eventually stopped talking, simply watching kachina reel in bait of her own (with the help of kinich, because kachina got a little nervous with the fish flinging around on the line). mualani laughed and buried her head deeper into your lap, your legs covering her ears. she took both of your hands and kissed them before holding them close to her face.

you decided to stay like that for the time being, watching her doze off. her nap started with a simple "i love you" mumbled between breaths. you smiled, whispering an i love you back before closing your eyes against the rocks.

navia, in her opinion, thinks physical affection is the best thing in the whole world when she gets home after a long day of helping people throughout fontaine.

you were laying down on the couch, waiting for your girlfriend to get home. huh, she's never this late. it's almost 8:00 at night and usually she gets home about a half an hour beforehand.

all of the sudden, somebody runs through the door, panting and laughing. you suddenly sit up, scared by the commotion that broke the silence, seeing navia, leaning against the kitchen countertops.

"navia????" you're almost in a state of disbelief when she starts laughing again, wondering where the hell this woman has been to elicit this kind of behavior.

"yeah???" she keeps laughing before coming around the couch, collapsing against your body. she makes herself comfortable on top of your figure, wrapping her arms around your neck and giving you little kisses along your cheek and jawline.

"what happened??? you look so disheveled and with the way you ran into the house just a moment ago???" you were still so confused, but she simply giggled before patting your shoulder.

"that's a story for tomorrow. i'm tired, can we just go to sleep?" she sighs, yawning before putting her face into your neck again. you nodded before looking down at her.

"then why don't we relocate to the bed-" "no. here's fine!!!" she sighed into your shoulder, moving one of your hands to the top of her head while the other stayed resting against her back. you took this as a silent asking to scratch her scalp.

you laughed a little, massaging her head until she fell asleep. you basked in the silence, waiting until she's steadily breathing indicating she's asleep before hugging her closer, whispering a final "i love you" before dozing off yourself.

lyney thinks that he performs better with a long, comforting hug and a kiss before his shows.

as soon as he got news that every prop had been checked and the show was all prepared, he went to go find you. he had an hour before the show, so he chose to spend it lounging with you.

he found you in one of the dressing rooms, lounging around on the couch. he immediately joined you, giving you a hug, silently hoping you'd reciprocate. and when you did, he melted.

he stayed like that with you for about 45 minutes more. laying his head on your shoulder, watching whatever show you have on your phone with you. that was, until lynette came in to warn him he had 15 minutes left until he was to be onstage.

you both got up, lyney leading you to behind the curtain for your little talk of encouragement.

"okay, lyney, you got this, like always," you smiled, taking his face in both of your palms. you could hear the crowd talking to one another, waiting patiently for the twins to come onstage. "go out there and wow them."

you brought him in a hug, holding him tight for around 5 minutes before lynette gave him a cue to head out. you kissed his lips for a moment before letting him go and giving him a little wave, standing by the curtain to watch him introduce his show.

without that hug, he thought, his show would go a lot worse. thank the hydro archon herself, he thinks, for blessing him with you.

kinich & 6 mayhaps? 🥺

after a long, long semester and a series of terrible finals, you thought that this road trip you had planned with your friends would be just the thing you needed to unwind.

that is, until the tire on mualani's car popped and you were all forced into chasca's to find the nearest shop. and usually that wouldn't be a problem, until you were forced to reckon with the fact that there was too many people, and not enough seats.

to be exact, there was only one seat missing, and that was yours.

mualani frowns, leaning back over her seat to survey the rest of the car.

"should we just try to squeeze her in? i don't know if we have enough space..."

everyone else mumbles in quiet agreement. between the luggage and the bodies, there isn't much wiggle room left for you to fit. you rock back and forth on your heels, feeling awkward.

kinich clears his throat from the backseat.

"she can sit in my lap."

the reaction is immediate—mualani sends you a suggestive look, and chasca giggles from the driver's seat, only to be met with your scowl. sensing the unrest, kinich rolls his eyes.

"relax. it's just because we don't have enough space, and i think xilonen might lose it soon if she doesn't get to eat something."

he's right about that—the blonde is terrifying when she gets hangry, and it's something that you should certainly avoid. so that's how you end up crawling into the backseat, hesitating as you stand before him.

he pats his thigh, unable to meet your eyes.

"it's okay, you can sit."

you do so cautiously, edging your weight onto him slowly instead of all at once. when he notices, kinich clicks his tongue and pulls you onto him fully.

"is that comfortable?" his voice is so close to your ear, breath warming your neck, and you just about combust right then and there. "you can lean back. if you sit upright like that it might hurt your back."

heeding his words, you lean back against his chest, lungs squeezing from a lack of air. you feel as though you can't breathe, move, or even think. but mualani cheers as the car starts to move, and you try to ignore the pulsing warmth of the man behind you.

kinich gazes out the window with a sigh.

"i'm sorry you have to do this," you mumble, watching the scenery pass. "i know it's kind of awkward."

he shrugs. "i don't really feel awkward. having a pretty girl sit in my lap definitely isn't the worst thing to happen in my life."

your heart bursts from your chest as you glance back at him in disbelief.

kinich merely smiles.

My Conspiracy Theory about Natlan's Pale Characters

I started playing Genshin Impact around the 3.7 update, right after the Interdarshan Championship. While I wasn't around during the initial spark of outrage against Sumeru due to the characters' overall lack of melanin, I eventually learned a lot about Sumeru's cultural inspirations through the SWANA and South Asian creators in the fandom. I think it's beautiful how we learn about each other's cultures through Genshin, and I believe the designers at Hoyoverse do lots of research to facilitate these conversations. This is why I think it's a shame that Natlan, which features rich Indigenous cultures in the Americas, Africa, and Pacific Islands, features primarily pale characters AGAIN.

While it's possible that through the art, story, and fashion of Natlan we will once again learn about the diverse cultures of Indigenous Americas, West Africa, and the Pacific Islands, I don't think it's enough. Considering a lot of these cultures take pride in their skin color and bodies through tattoos, body paint, and other markings/piercings, Hoyoverse is doing a disservice to today's Latin American, African, and Pacific islander fan base by making the majority of Natlan characters pale. To insensitively cherry-pick what traits of each culture to represent and what to discard is the definition of cultural appropriation and racism, which is such a shame because of how many discussions about culture that Genshin has started since 2020. As a Chinese American player, I'm especially disappointed that the company who educated so many people about my culture is failing my brown and Black friends to such a spectacular degree.

Many people have come up with excuses such as it's just skin, it's just a game, Hoyoverse is a Chinese company so what do you expect, Latin America also has white people, etc. I won't bother debunking these myths because there are plenty of people doing this labor already, but what I do want to bring people's attention to is the fact that many Natlan characters were most likely designed with darker skin in mind. Through fanmade recolorings (here's an example), I noticed that Mualani and Kachina's tan lines and skin details look more pronounced with darker skin, while Xilonen looks more mature and Kinich looks more brooding. Having studied studio art during undergrad, I cannot unsee these intentional artistic decisions and cannot shake the possibility that the researchers and character designers of Hoyoverse were forced by higherups to whitewash everyone at the very last minute. If this is true, I hope Hoyoverse will find some way to reverse their decision or turn a new leaf in the future. Considering many other Chinese games like Reverse: 1999 and Dislyte already have diverse representation and melanated characters, Hoyoverse should find no problem following their lead.

As of right now (i.e. 4.8 update), Genshin players from all over the world are expressing their dissatisfaction with Hoyoverse through boycotts, review bombing, and posting on social media. The Chinese fanbase - Hoyoverse's primary audience - is especially vocal and organized about their efforts, which means if Hoyoverse doesn't notice now, they will notice soon. Despite how much we like using Genshin as an escape from real life, it's important to recognize how insidious the consequences of erasing melanated characters can be. Anti-Blackness and colorism harm people on the daily, which is why we must speak up when a company as big and influential as Hoyoverse is doing the harming.

The Archon's Baby - Chapter 25 - You Never Know Who Is Listening.

First Chapter Previous Chapter future chapters on ao3 here

Warnings: pregnant!reader, pregnancy symptoms, mention of dead bodies, brief derogratory language.

Fic under the cut, don't repost my stuff on other platforms, i have ao3. Reader is not the traveller. Reader's adoptive sisters are Chasca and Chuychu.

"Oh hey, it's you! How are you doing with... everything?" Paimon floated over with a grin, quickly correcting herself from asking about your pregnancy in public, directly anyway. Although your bump wasn't exactly easy to hide anymore...

"We're okay, how have you two been? I met Nepecha by the way, thank you for all you did in saving her with Xilonen. " You asked, giving the Traveller a grateful look as they'd given Paimon a deadpan expression to watch her words, "oh... also something about aphids, Xilonen mentioned that too?"

"We're okay, we're just preparing to head to Sumeru! It's Nahida, Lesser Lord Kusanali's birthday, so we're going to help with the Sabzeruz Festival and celebrate with everyone!" Paimon explained, gesturing to the supplies that the two had been buying in the stadium.

"Ah, that's the festival with the carriage and sweets are thrown, right? How about you two take some of this for the Dendro Archon, you probably have loads in your bag already, but this chocolate tastes really good, and if Kusanali has a sweet tooth, I think she'll like it." You led the two over to a stall, ignoring what was on display in favour of talking to the owner, who nodded and revealed the specific chocolates from nearby.

"Wait, Paimon has never seen these ones before!" Paimon's eyes glowed as you passed the chocolates to the Traveller, passing the stall owner some mora before they could.

"They're really good, I've been craving a lot so I've cornered the market down here on it all, there's some stuff from other nations here too, but not a lot-"

"We'll bring you back some candies from Sumeru as a thank you." The Traveller beamed, tucking the chocolates away into their bag before Paimon could eat them, much to her pouting.

"Paimon, Golden Outlander, here." You held out two chocolates, one for each of them.

"Ooh so yummy! Wait, Paimon wants to know why you call the Traveller that, you never call them Traveller?" Paimon ate the chocolate quickly, floating closer to you as you hummed.

"Because I think people should be calling you by your name, not that moniker. Although you don't always respond to the name you've given people either... it's whatever, probably safer for you with how Celestia can be. You two travel safely to Sumeru okay?" you smiled softly, ignoring the confusion on Paimon's face and the relief on the Golden Outlander's, who smiled back at you, waving as the two headed out of the stadium, and soon, out of Natlan.

///

It had been a week of rebuilding, with the Traveller and Paimon out of the picture recovering and enjoying the Sabzerus Festival. Mavuika was all over the place, hoping on Flamestrider as she went to check on each individual tribe's recovery. The losses were piling up, while Kinich was trying to help identify bodies, you were trying to coordinate the supply shipments from the stadium, but you were struggling.

"You think because you're allegedly having the Archon's baby that you can take charge here?"

Your eyes widened at the insinuation, holding onto the clipboard you'd been reading to try figure out what supplies were to be sent where.

"What in the abyss are you trying to suggest?" you glared, folding your arms at the man, clipboard by your side. It was one of the two who spoke blasphemy about Kachina and Mavuika during the last Pilgrimmage.

"Oh please, why would a God ever have a baby with you? You're not even a warrior. You're just a whore that the Archon took pity on." His name didn't matter to you, his words shouldn't matter either, but instead, your breath hitched, frozen in place as everyone around you went eerily quiet.

"Archon?" his voice trembled, the God of War's stare laced with ice and solemnity. Her heels were the only thing heard as she walked over, not saying a word as the man trembled. "Archon, I, uh..."

Forcing his gaze away from the intensity of Haborym's, he looked at you, before he ran, leaving everyone to stare as Mavuika's gaze followed him out of sight.

"Is that really how people see me-" you began to question, your eyes glassing over with tears, but a loud thud caught your attention. Turning on your heel to hurry towards the sound, Mavuika gently placed her hand on her shoulder to stop you.

"That isn't worth your attention." Her cold stare was long gone, but her professionalism lingered as she took the clipboard from your hands, glancing over it, "Iansan has volunteered a caravan to transport these supplies. You organised everyone here well, despite his insults."

A shaky sigh escaped your lips, wishing Mavuika could do more than stand by you in this moment, but being able to bask in the presence of Natlan's undying sun, the love of your life, was enough. You needed to get used to not relying on Mavuika, especially after her impending death.

"I'm sorry..." your gaze remained on the floor, looking over your bump as Mavuika and yourself headed back to the Speaker's Chamber.

"Why are you apologising? You were the one who was insulted."

"But, his words weren't entirely wrong. You're an Archon, and as much as I emphasise you are more than that, everyone else sees you as the Pyro Archon, the God of War. Not the God of Love or Marriage, so getting tangled up with me- I was barely a warrior before, I'm someone who never even participated in the Pilgrimmage because I didn't want to ruin Chasca's winning streak by being on her team... and I- I never wanted to distract you and ruin your 500 year goal to end this millenia long war, Mavuika." Turning on your heel, you were about to walk out, hoping that a supply caravan would be heading towards your tribe so you could give Mavuika space.

"You could never ruin it. As the Archon, I'm great at problem-solving, but often, people just want companionship. I wasn't able to provide this for anyone when I returned, but you provided it to me in a way that felt warm, a kindred spirit of fire, who loves to explore and find out everything. I know you were caught sneaking to Ochkanatlan multiple times, and I know how much you care, for me, the plan, for Natlan. You gave me more than enough motivation to complete my plan, by giving me a close connection in this time... something I didn't have 500 years ago. I may have been your first love, but you are mine too..." Mavuika's face burned at that reminder, watching as you turned around to listen.

You had not believed her about that confession, at first. She could have anyone in Natlan that she wanted after all. Mavuika knew how to kiss better than you did, but the way she froze up, hair lighting up and her jaw hanging open the first time the two of you were intimate... it was like Mavuika had always put her duty to her nation before her own needs, until that moment anyway.

"I told you before, I regret nothing we have done, I will always love you, even in death. I will always love our children too. Please let them know that-" Mavuika was cut off as you frowned, your hand immediately going to your bump as your Archon froze in fear, "are you alright? Is it the twins?"

"Give me your hand." You removed her glove carefully, bringing her bare hand over your bump to feel what you just felt. Mavuika's eyes widened at the feeling, the movement of one of the twins felt beneath her palm, "they're kicking... I spoke to my ma-mother before, she said that I'd feel them moving but this, they're kicking, Mavuika. I think they heard you." Mavuika removed her other glove with her teeth, her eyes brimming with tears as you brought her other hand to where you were guessing the other twin was kicking too, hoping it was them and not the other foot of twin A.

"They, they can hear me?" to anyone else, Mavuika would sound uncharacteristically shy, but you knew sides to her that she kept hidden because of the war. Mavuika pushed away any ideas of love, companionship, because it didn't matter if the war was still going... but now? Mavuika's sun eyes were glassy, almost glowing with emotion as she let out a breath.

"They can hear you, hear their mother." You moved your hand, reaching up to cup her cheek. There was no option to hide her emotion with her sunglasses this time.

"I love you," Mavuika closed her eyes momentarily, leaning into your touch, before shifting and dropping to her knees, "I love you two too," she spoke directly to your bump, not seeing how you flustered at her on her knees in front of you. She was too distracted by grinning goofily at your bump, how the twins were kicking her palms through your belly.

You were lucky nobody was about to walk into the Speaker's Chamber and witness this... Chasca would probably tackle Mavuika, and neither you or Chuychu could physically stop her now.

///

"Hey, can we talk?" Chasca knocked on the door to the Speaker's Chamber, getting no response as she headed inside, looking for who she was after. The staff had told her you and Mavuika were there but, was anyone around?

[meisaer]

Mavuika: If I die—

Citlali: You are not dying anytime soon.

Mavuika: Yeah but if I die, I want those three to take my place.

Iansan: Huh? HUH??

Kinich is walking away.

Xilonen, slowly leaving: God no. I have seen the amount of paperwork you do. And the announcements. And the negotiations. And the planning. And everything else. Do you think I have the energy to do even a third of that? Do you?

Mavuika: That's why I'm getting all three of you on the job! Kinich could handle that stuff.

Iansan: Kinich would recreate the Sakoku Decree.

Mavuika: Nothing we haven't seen before.

Iansan, leaving: I think you should sit down. Maybe have a juice? Tea? I can do tea. I can't run a nation.

Citlali: They all outright rejected you in under thirty seconds.

Citlali: Unsurprisingly.

Mavuika: They'll come around one day.

[lumine-luvr]

No one else will say this ofc and I'm sure lots of people don't mind it and even like it but dang call me conservative cz I am so uncomfortable with how much skins the new characters are showing

They're basically wearing glorified bras and panties with accessories atp

No one cares and it's not that I'm asking for them to wear onesies but like all the other characters like Jean, Navia and Furina who don't expose that much skin, still look cute and Not Feel like they're Sexualized?? how's bout that?

Look at all of these that still look super cute and not so...exposed

Ik that's just me tho lol yh i do feel icky seeing the other new characters released and they're soooooo 🙈 and I'm a gal.

On a tangent, i do think the ones who are dressed up without showing sm skin looks more elegant and dignified

It's funny that the ones who don't have so much skin exposed still look fashionable but that's just me

Hoyo designs their girls like so

Then Hoyo turns around and design most of their male characters like this. Like they had all the fabrics in the world that the girls don't and don't get me wrong, i love that

Ik this isn't new. This is a game which demographics is mainly male people, so yes, they want the sexy girls more now, like, how short can those shorts go kinda challenge before they become panties lol

But still i just gotta say because it's been bugging me what's with more characters are being released soon and the kind of character designs that got out of Natlan

And don't say the weather in Natlan is hot because my country is also hot most of the year and idt most girls would be showing as much skin as Xilonen does all the time

Or the abomination that is Mavuika's getup. Skin tight leather???really????

Wanna know what's more uncomfortable than being hot? Wearing skin tight clothing in a hot weather. What you need is a thin breathable kinda clothes. Direct contact with the sun and the air in hot weather is a no no. Let alone skin tight leather onesies. Yuck

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk

[lyss-sketchbox]

God I need a good hydro DPS. But at the same time I'm saving for Iansan and Capitano. The struggle. But more importantly they have Neuvillette's 2nd rerun, but we have yet to see Wrio's 1st. I actually do wonder if Aloy cursed the cryo element when she came out. Shenhe, Wrio, and less now Eula but my point still stands that cryo characters have it tough when it comes to banners.

I think its because of cryo's strange spot in the meta

If we get a cryo Hutao or Arlecchino (massive NA and burst dmg). Reverse melt has the same multiplier as vaporize which can be AS powerful as Hutao or Arle. Which means the burst can be as powerful too. Have you noticed no cryo dps has a single hit nuke burst? (EULA IS PHYS BURST, NOT CRYO, AND YOU SEE HOW HARD PHYS FELL OFF)

If we get a cryo xiangling or xingqiu (off field cryo applicator). Melt multiplier (pyro->cryo) is actually 2x while vaporize is only 1.5x. So yeah it would be extremely busted.

Cryo as an element have either broken or shit reactions. No inbetween. Melt would be busted if theres actual units to support it. Frozen is busted so they made bosses immune to it. Cryo literally doesnt react with dendro while the two other most powerful element (pyro and hydro) does. And who literally uses super conduct outside of phys mains.

Geo fell off for abit until they started upscaling them HARD. (Navia exists, Chiori is straight up Albedo but better, Xilonen is literally geo kazuha). Cryo doesnt get that specific upscaling because they know as soon as cryo gets proper dps or sub dps units, theyd be busted.

But now Cryo is a mid element and all units suffer for it by staying in hyv's basement

Feast of Pursuit pt 1

[Day 1]

Nilou and Furina: Mission accomplished!

Baizhu:*dry heaving*

Nahida:It got a little dicey in there…

Aether:It’s the Triple Kenki. It’s always going to be rough. Good job though.

[Day 2]

Kinich:The job is done. Mimiflora terminated.

Xilonen:If I ever see that thing again it will be too soon. I hate shielders.

Mualani:It wasn’t that bad once we found our groove.

Xiangling:*sweating* I think that one was a little bad on my nerves.

Aether:I didn’t even realize you four could work together. How’d you manage that?

xxxxxx

The Abyss creature put up a shield immediately. Xilonen immediately moved in to get in a few hits while Kinich tethered himself to it, circling the foe with a barrage of blasts that shredded the shield for Mualani to to surf in with guoba at the ready.

Kinich and Xiangling: You can’t afford to miss a vaporize.

Mualani:I got it~

xxxxxxx

Kinich:Very carefully.

Mualani: 20 seconds to spare! Woooo!

[Day 3]

Mualani:All hail the new Mountain King and her trusted guards!

Xilonen:Long may she reign,

Xiangling and Dehya:Woooooo!

Aether:This is a very different attitude from yesterday.

Xiangling:We both know it’s stressful if I’m the only pyro around.

Xilonen:We fight this boss daily for practice. I’d be ashamed if we couldn’t do it.

Mualani:Good job team! Proud of ya! Especially you Dehya.

Dehya:*smiles*

[Day 4]

Aether:Wh-What happened?

Navia:*on the ground* Partner, forgive me. I can’t do it…

Bennett and Yelan leaned against one another, completely exhausted while Xilonen was actually unconscious.

Navia:I tried everything. Furina, Noelle, Kachina, Gorou, Albedo; every play I’ve ever made. I even let Itto try with his group but that didn’t go well.We get really close but…

Yelan:Seconds away from success.

Navia:I humbly request that you revoke my status as captain. I clearly need more training.

Bennett:Hey, you’re awesome. It’s just those stupid pillars. Even with perfect timing, this thing eats up too much time.

Navia:We admit defeat. I’m sorry. We only got three stars.

Aether:Hey now, don’t be too hard on yourself. There’s still room to grow and improve. Keep your chin up. Honestly it might be my karma but not asking Chiori to join.

Navia:…I haven’t been this frustrated leading before. Is this the growing pains of being a captain? I can only imagine what some of the others must be feeling.

Aether:We’ll revisit this another day.

sketches of a few natlan redesigns (everything from memory)

xilonen is aztec, so i tried implementing some notable details (ex. the collar, loincloth, and necklaces).

i also wanted to give her more hair because she does Not have a lot!

she has vitiligo to mimic the animal print, and also paws

color palette: primarily gold, plus some reds and greens (based on depictions of chicomecōātl / xīlōnen, who xilonen is named after)

mavuika. ok first off i put her hair up. i feel like it'd be annoying to do half the shit she does with loose hair. also i think it looks like a flame. it's held up by a sun-shaped hairclip

iirc, māori chieftainesses usually wear feathery dresses. so i combined it with her old outfit, while keeping the tooth-like pattern from her jumpsuit. that's a fun tie to dragons, and the feathers make me think of sunbeams. the dress is shorter so she can ride her saurian (i don't like the bike) easier.

i also gave her a moko kauae, because, again, she is māori

color palette: red. lots of red. but also green; pounamu is a stone that is important to māori culture, and is has a green hue

citlali is mostly the same, except i gave her a dress. oh and there's a snowflake on the side. i like dresses :3

she has some animal skulls and more feathers on her outfit, plus the same aztec collar as xilonen

elf ears because i feel like they fit her. i don't get why chasca has them but not her?

oh and a cane. old woman deserves a cane.

her color palette is the same, i think it's pretty :3

i will redraw these in higher quality soon

[calithso]

No Way!!!!!! The Natlan Trailer is release !!!!!!!!!!!!

Genshin Impact just dropped a new teaser and it is about Natlan, the next region the traveler will be visiting soon. In the trailer, Genshin showed a handful of new characters: Chasca, Citlali,  Iansan, K'uhul Ajaw, Kachina, Kinich, Mavuika, Mualani, Ororon, and Xilonen. The teaser also showed a familiar character that many people had hoped to see for the longest time is Capitano, one of the Fatui Harbingers. 

The trailer seems to center around a tournament, which was referenced at the end of the Fontaine Archon quest (Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act V - Masquerade of the Guilty).  However, the reason for the tournament is still up in the air but some of the newest clues about it from the trailer are quotes like this one: “This battle is for winners only. The champion... will take all.” 

But something I want to focus on is one of the new characters: Mavuika. Many people believe that she is the current pyro archon of Natlan. However, if she is the current pyro archon then what about Murata?

Murata was mentioned in the official Genshin Impact webcomic in the prologue chapter when Venti was talking to Venessa, where Venti mentioned “the children of Murata, the lady of fire” when talking about Venessa and her tribe. With the way Venti spoke of her, it seemed like he knew her personally, which made her seem like she was a part of the seven archons. But what do we know about her? Other than the title “the lady of fire”, Venti describes her as a lady of war, and warriors from the tribes would perform rites of combat and would celebrate victories in her name. Other than that, there wasn’t much information about it as it was kept vague. 

With the release of the trailer and new characters, many people believed that Mavuika was the Pyro archon. If she is the pyro archon, then where is Murata?  

Theories

Theory 1: Murata is the previous archon while Mavuika is her successor.

It is known that Venti and Zhongli are the only two of the original seven who are still alive in the game as the others have died around the time of the cataclysm in Khaenri'ah and their successors have inherited their titles. In addition, when Venti was to speak to Venessa about her, it was roughly about 1,000 years before the traveler came to Teyvat and started their journey to regain their power and find their sibling. The previous pyro archon was Murata and she died during the events of Cataclysm while Mavuika was someone who Murata trusted and later became a successor to inherit her position as archon.

(Note: Murata might have had the title of the god of war due to being called a lady of war but it is unclear whether the title as the god of war was originally hers to begin with and she chose to pass it down to her successor or the title belongs to her successor first. But all we know is that the Pyro archon is the god of war and it is safe to assume that the title belongs to the current Pyro archon Natlan.)

Theory 2: Murarta and Mavuika are the same person

This part can be done in many different ways so I am going to describe at least a few.

One way is that Murata is a title used by the Pyro archons. The archons have many names and titles they use. So if Mavuika is the Pyro archon, she could have used Murata as a name or title. If this were the case, the previous archon likely used Murata as a name or title as well.

Another way is that maybe it is similar to Nahida/Rukkhadevata or a Furina/Focalors situation.

Murata and Mavuika might be (in Rukkhadevata’s words) of the same nature as each other or the same person with two different identities but have an identical appearance. For the last archons, this has happened where the current archon has a counterpart that shares their appearance or a part of their identities. Nahida and her predecessor Rukkhadevata have the same appearance as they are “of the same nature” and they ended up sharing identical appearances. While Focalors and Furina are the same person but they were split into two identities. Something similar could have happened with Murata and Mavuika. But how? 

If you take a look at the title of the Archon quest for Natlan, the title is Incandescent Ode of Resurrection and in the trailer we see Capitano, a bird with a trail of fire, flying toward him and then we see Mavuika next to him. I believe the bird is likely a phoenix and a phoenix is a symbol of rebirth (for most cultures). They are known to regenerate as when they die they are set on fire and then they rise from the ashes to live another life. If it were to go a similar route as with the other archons, Murata would have died but only to rise from the ashes of her death and live a new life as Mavuika. Even if the bird isn’t a phoenix and is a different type of bird, the concept of rebirth is not that far-fetched, due to the hint of a resurrection in the title of the future Archon Quest chapter. 

(Note: While editing this, I did some quick searches and learned that  Natlan is based mostly on Latin America in the Pre-Columbian era, and African, Hispanic, and Aboriginal Australian cultures. Some of the cultures in Latin America in the Pre-Columbian era like the Aztecs do have concepts of rebirth (wasn’t able to get that deep into it or see the concept about it in other cultures that Natlan is based on due to lack of free time). So the idea of a potential rebirth with the archon definitely doesn’t seem to be that far-fetched but who knows until more information is release about the characters and the region).

That’s all for now
