The Sky of Tevyat, The Irminsul Tree and Summoning Circles

Before we start, here’s a disclaimer. These are just weird things I’ve noticed while playing Genshin Impact. I could literally have no ground to stand on at all. I do not know all the genshin lore so I might point out something that isn’t what it actually is. A lot of this information can be linked to characters that I main so you can excuse me as someone who is biased right away if you so desire. I’ll try to keep this as unbiased as possible though. Some thoughts in this are actually thoughts of my wife @rest-in-bees. This post is me seeing a bunch of dots and connecting then but if you’re looking for a conclusion, there is none. 

So I’m sure at some point all of us have looked up at the sky of Tevyat and have gone, huh, that’s the shape of a flower!

I tried to take a clear picture. It was kinda hard. But it’s a ten petaled flower with multiple layers. I at first said ‘oh that’s just the sky programming overlapping and also because of my camera angle, whatever’. And I carried on with my life. I like looking at things from weird angles and messing around with my camera, so I kept looking at this flower and carrying on with my life. Until I noticed that the sky only looked this way in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma and Forest Sumeru. In Fontaine and Desert Sumeru, the sky doesn’t look like this. 

You could just say that they decided to do better for these areas! Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma were early on nations and so they have a basic sky that isn’t really well done. At first this is what I believed. But then out of curiosity I decided to see if there are finer tuned details in the Mondstadt sky that would make it seem like they actually somewhat worked on the sky. 

The sky does have details to it. Also to test things out I decided to see what it would be like if I ran all the way from the chasm to Desert Sumeru while looking up at the sky. When you enter Desert Sumeru the sky gets incredibly unclear because of ‘sand’?. As soon as you exit this area, the sky is completely different. I thought this was interesting. Of course, we can still argue that this is still nothing significant! Which! True! 

Anyway, I mostly thought of this and then let it go. But see, I happen to be a Wanderer main. And so one day while looking up at the sky I decided to mess around and completely flip the camera, which resulted in me staring at Wanderer’s hat. 

And I kind of froze because…I was looking at a flower in the sky made of stars, why am I looking at one on Wanderer’s head where there are even dots on the black parts of the hat that look like stars? So then I asked my wife, hey, what kind of Tevyat flower does that look like? A Niloptala Lotus? And she said, maybe? But I think it looks more like a Kalpalata Lotus because it’s layered petals. 

Quick Kalpalata Lotus 101. Kalpalata Lotuses are local specialities found in the forest part of Sumeru. They are used as ascension material for Nahida and Dori. The fun thing about the Kalpalata Lotuses is that legend says that they are the first thing to have ever been created in the forest. Their roots are said to be connected to every plant across Tevyat including the Undying Divine tree. Amurta scholars have proven this wrong, but people still believe it. You can find this information in the Genshin Archive under Materials. 

So the Amurta scholars disproved this. But then it occurred to me that we do know a plant that has it’s roots connected everywhere across Tevyat. The Irminsul tree. Canonically, their roots are said to cause Leylines and you can find its roots in the form of petrified trees in the Chasm, Dragonspine, Shirokoro Peak, and even Mt. Damavand. The Frost Bearing Tree is considered part of the Irminsul tree as well. But here’s the fun fact. Kalpalata Lotuses are not lotuses. They look like lotuses but they’re actually false. Weird when you connect them to their lore similarities to the Irminsul tree, but then you remember that the Irminsul tree can literally falsify history. 

Another thought. We’re told that the sky of Tevyat is fake. 

Anyways, needless to say, I started to become drawn to anything that looked even remotely similar to Wanderer’s Hat or the flower in the sky or Kalpalata Lotuses. 

This is when I remembered that I’d seen something that looked like Wanderer’s hat before. 

Istaroth’s moon dials. They look almost identical to the ring behind Wanderer’s back which is what his hat becomes. 

But then I realized that Wanderer’s little ring in his windfavored state reminded me of summoning circles. Namely: 

I remembered when Ningguang summoned the Guizhong Ballistas and Venti’s skill. I’m sure there are other characters who have displayed this, I just can’t quite remember them at the moment. So then I thought…interesting? What do other summoning circles look like in game? So I went to go look. 

The ones I found in Fontaine look eerily like the same kind of pattern and like Wanderer’s hat. I thought it was really weird that Wanderer’s hat and ring in his windfavored state looked exactly like a summoning circle (this is when I developed a theory that when he tried to erase himself from Irminsul, someone summoned him back and his hat is his summoning circle, but that’s a different post). 

And then I remembered. 

Venti’s statue in Mondstadt is surrounded by a flower like structure that is nearly identical to the sky flower. And Venti’s statue says ‘The Gateway to Celestia’. And I wondered if maybe it was called that because it’s a giant summoning circle that connects Celestia and Mondstadt. 

And then I wondered if Tevyat’s sky above Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma and Forest Sumeru is a giant summoning circle. Which is probably a crazy idea. But. Whatever. I have interesting thoughts sometimes. Time to go work on an extensive post about why Wanderer is incredibly sus character lore wise.

Every day I get closer to making an unhinged behemoth of a post listing all of the things about Kaeya and his possible connections to mythology & stuff that I notice but NOBODY ELSE SEEMS TO BRING UP IN THEIR THEORIES

(edit: OMG I reached the tag limit I'm so sorry)

[azalen-draws]

Saw this precious redesign and I immediately got hit to make a drawing for Nahida's birthday

Made by [insertnamehere] on the clock app, it's super cute! I wanna kiss her little forehead *cries*

Damn, those pixels lmao, ooooh, and [Insertnamehere] didn't do it, but I gave her light green eyelashes! I don't like using pure white so I just lightened the green on her hair

(I feel like I made her forehead mole too big 🚶🏽)

The harbinger order? is confusing me rant

*Discussion of Leaks, if you don't wanna see it that don't read this*

Okay so I'm sure some folks have seen the leaks that are saying Capitano is #1, Arlecchino is #4, #10 is empty for some reason, and Pierro isn't one of the number Harbingers, he's the director of them which feels like a bit of a weird choice if you ask me, but who knows

Now this makes sense in some parts and confuses me in others but I think mostly what people are trying to make of why the #10 seat is empty is confusing me most and I really don't see eye to eye with a lot of the conclusions people are coming to

Like, oh it's empty because the Traveler will be #10 that's why

But that makes no sense for a number of reasons from the fact that the traveler has beaten Signora who was #8 and while the Harbingers don't seem to be ranked purely based on strength from things that have been implied via voice lines and more, Signora doesn't run any major operation for the Fatui as far as we know like the Northland Bank, House of Heart, or holds any political position of power (once again from what we know)

She likely isn't based purely on strength, but also I bet that likely is a strong reason why she was ranked over someone like Pantalone, though again of course something may be revealed

But yeah if the Traveler could beat Signora with only 3 out of 7 elements, I doubt they'd be ranked under her and also Traveler's connections would be valuable so again #10 for the traveler makes no sense

"Oh there's some plot twist related to it" Yeah there could be, but in what way can we come to that conclusion now currently when there is not a single piece of evidence to prove as much? Plus what plot twist would it even be?

Like saying there will be a plot twist related to it this early when we have nothing to support that notion doesn't give charity and again that is so broad of a conclusion to come to that what would the plot twist even be? Like please elaborate more if you're gonna say that, why do you think that

"For whatever reason, #10 is empty" Honestly, gonna be honest here, if you ask me, I doubt #10 is just empty because no one has filled the role.

I feel like not only would the Fatui agents we've seen would remark on it like they remarked on #6 being empty for hundreds of years following the 3.3 quest, I feel like Scaramouche especially when he was shitting on Tartaglia would also mention that? Like haha look he brings down the Harbingers so much that he doesn't even fill the final slot, he's one below

So I doubt it's just like,, empty because there's been no body in that place before.

"We just don't know#10 yet, we haven't seen them" I doubt there's #10 currently if the order the leakers are talking about is in fact true for a number of reasons because

#1. it's the 11 Harbingers and Pierro does seem to be implied when people say that even if he's the director, like there are 11 (or I guess 9 now), its not the 11 harbingers and their director

#2. We all haven't forgotten the Harbinger Constellations image right? Which only has 11 constellations present and think what you may about what belongs to who, but the teardrop tragedy mask most likely belongs to Pierro given his namesake Pierrot and the teardrop present in his own mask like we see in the Lazzo trailer. While it is mixed with the Tragedy mask as it seems, that teardrop I genuinely would be surprised if it belongs to anyone else

Now, it could, Pierro's presence in this could be solely at the top of the image with that mask, but the thing is that the leakers seem to be emphasizing that we only will see the current harbingers we've seen and Pierro, we will only see those 11 and there isn't another member we will see coming from what Team China has said supposedly

So, yeah the case probably isn't there currently is a #10 and we just haven't met them

If I were to truly believe the leaks that are saying the order is actually this and not what we thought (which admittedly, I am hesitant to believe whole heartedly as it makes sense in certain areas but doesn't in others), then here are the conclusions I think could potentially be the reasons for what's going on with #10

Either, #10 is a retired rank hence why when Tartaglia joined he wasn't given the rank but rather #11, or #10 is in a similar position as Scaramouche with the 3.3 quest and #10 erased at the very least their association with the Fatui, as in erasing from the Irumsul whatever memories and perceptions were had related to their Harbingers title

To explain what I mean when I say retired rank, I want everyone to think of Signora's situation. There likely won't be another #8 or anyone moving up from the rank they currently are at to #8 I would guess due to what happened with Signora. Everyone below her keeps their current rank it doesn't move up like eliminating an option

Almost think like Jersey numbers that have been retired and now nobody can be that number. I think potentially whoever was #10 could have died somehow and out of respect no one ever took on #10 again not even when more candidates for a Harbinger came along

This would explain something like the lack of mentioning of #10 being that it could be a touchy topic, the Fatui avoid speaking of it since they don't wanna be perceived as saying something disrespectful of the late #10, additionally, why would the past death of a Harbinger necessarily be brought up especially in enemy areas like that's info that doesn't need to be discussed y'know?

And as for my other view of it, where #10 erased their existence within the Fatui, I think the only plausible time period for that to happen would be if it happened when Tartaglia had already become a Harbinger but it was before the Traveler started being active

Which could work, we don't know Childe's exact age we only know he's the youngest harbinger and he entered the Fatui initially at 14 (which since they say like "legends say hes been on the battle field since he was 14") I doubt he became a Harbinger at that age, but theoretically from 15-16 to about 2-3 depending years before his current age could be the range I think for when he became a Harbinger and after which #10 erased their association with the Fatui

And the reason I say that is because think of Scara's situation, everyone is already at their set ranks and just because everyone's perception of him was erased, doesn't change the actual events that happened which is why the traveler remembers them. The reason everyone doesn't move up a rank or wasn't appoint as a rank isn't because it was always that empty but because they only now think it was empty all along

Now this point could be where a plot twist happens like what was mentioned, depending on if we get revealed who #10 was and cite like "Oh Scara did the same that's the foreshadowing for how someone else in the Fatui erased and blah blah blah" but like you can't firmly say yet "Oh yeah the #10 reveal is gonna be a plot twist" or "there's gonna be totally a plot twist related to the #10 seat" like

Yeah there's potential for it, there are things set up to where we could come to the conclusion that its the same case for the #10 whether with Scara or Signora, but you can't really use any of that to for sure say there will be a plot twist related to it and things that could be foreshadowed isn't what a plot twist is either so like

I dunno I just don't like the idea of saying for certain when we only have leaks especially to go off of and literally nothing related to specifically the #10 seat in game, that there will be a plot twist related to it

Again, these are all leaks, there are things to support the idea, things could still change, there are things that contradict them a bit and will need further explanation in game to trust

We're just gonna have to see how it pans out in the end, I'm not gonna hop on board anyone's trains other than my own (tho I'm not even 100% confident in it) because I really do disagree with a lot of people's conclusions about this (not about believing the order, just about with #10 mostly and stuff)

Prologue to Arcadia; a future post I'll be making Post01 (4/4)

Continued from Post01 (3/4)

Was all of this more than a bit of a stretch and just loosey goosey brain dumping? Admittedly yes. But you can blame Kaeya himself for me reaching to Hermes because Kaeya actually does drop something dating back to the game's launch that already has a potential connection to Hermes and Gnosticism.

Why does Kaeya know what Arcadia is? Why is the second part of that quest line 'Mystery of the Arcadian Ruins?'

---

One of the big takeaways we all had from Kaeya's dialogue in 'Secret Pirate Treasure' was his comments about his eyepatch and grandfather but... the mentioning of Arcadia took on a new light after Enkanomiya launched. Pre 2.4 I had thought 'Arcadian' was used as a fanficul way to refer to some old ruins just for the English dub and nothing to do with Arcadia the place. But then Enkanomiya showed us how much lore importance Greek has and I had forgotten about the use of 'Arcadian' until the Pierro reveal with all the theories of Pierro being Kaeya's grandfather and people were pointing to 'Secret Pirate Treasure'. This lead me to revisiting the quest myself. Much to my surprise, 'Arcadian' is in fact not just in the English, it's in the other languages. So that means 'Arcadian' had been used intentionally.

Arcadia is the land in the centre of the Peloponnese in Greece. And was said to be the homeland of the gods Hermes and Pan!

---

I actually have more to say about Arcadia the place and Arcadia as it is relevant to Gnosticism but that involves a whole other write up with even more mythology discussion and I've already taken much of your time with dividing my first write up into 4 posts! My goodness, I hadn't intended to ramble on for so long. I hope I wasn't a bore and I haven't written this too horribly. It's been a long time since I've written such lengthy notes with the intention of sharing them with others. 

If you've made it to here, thank you very much for giving my posts a read and apologies for the disjointed lengthy mess.

  Cheers to you fellow Travelers,

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.

Genshin Thoughts/Theories No One Asked For (Spoilers) —Relationship Edition, Part 2

I'm writing these posts on the Tumblr app, and I hit the 10-image limit on the last post, so I had to separate them. So, here's the second part of the Relationship Edition of "Thoughts No One Asked For."

3. The Traveler and the Abyss Twin

It would be an injustice to discuss relationships in Genshin Impact without mentioning the relationship that started it all: Aether and Lumine.

For the purpose of this analysis, however, I'm going to refer to them as the Traveler and the Abyss Twin to avoid confusion. After all, the content I'm going to discuss will namely relate to the experiences of the Traveler, rather Aether and Lumine themselves.

Okay? Okay.

Genshin Impact opens with the above cutscene: a battle between the twins and the Unknown God, presumably during the Cataclysm. Her reasons for interferring with us remain unclear, but regardless of what her true intentions were, the Traveler is dealt a devastating blow all the same: we lose our sibling.

It's obvious to me that from how this scene plays out, the Traveler and the Abyss Twin have a profound bond. The Traveler, once apprehended by the Unknown God, appears more concerned about the whereabouts of their sibling than their own wellbeing, shouting the now iconic, "give my sister/brother back!"

In contrast, the Abyss Twin doesn't express themselves much throughout cutscene. However, based on the expression they make when they're initially captured, the Abyss Twin is equally distressed by the separation as the Traveler is. It's almost, as though, there has never been an instant in their long lives where they've ever walked into tomorrow without each other.

So, I think it's safe to assume I wasn't the only one surprised when the Abyss Twin was revealed to be, well, the Abyss Twin.

The scene, itself, was phenomenal. The Traveler's heartbreak, their disbelief—it showcased more of their relationship with their sibling than I think is initially obvious. As though the Traveler couldn't have imagined a single scenario where their sibling would leave them behind—especially after being separated for so long.

Even now, as we near Fontaine's curtain call, we still have no clear answers to why the Abyss Twin has aligned with the Abyss Order. Their motives and aims are completely opaque to us. Nonetheless, I refuse to believe the Abyss Twin is indifferent to the Traveler. If anything, I think they're just as secure in their bond with the Traveler as they've always been.

Before the Abyss Twin leaves the Traveler behind, they tell them: "Once you reach the end of your journey, as I did, you will see for yourself the true nature of this world." To me, this sounds like the Abyss Twin expects the Traveler to reach the same conclusion about Teyvet as they have, and will eventually rejoin them in favour of the Abyss.

But, I'm not so sure about that.

In spite of their visual similarities, and of course, their relative "closeness," the Traveler and their sibling are still their own people. Moreover, it's presumably been centuries since the Abyss Twin journeyed through Teyvet, so that stands to reason that the world, itself, has also evolved in significant ways.

In fact, I think that by the time we do come to the end of our journey, the Traveler will align themselves with Teyvet to protect them from their sibling. Tragic, but likely, in my opinion.

4. Diluc and Kaeya

I know I briefly touched on their relationship in another post, but I have a lot of thoughts about Diluc and Kaeya. So, let's delve into them.

Since Crepus' death, Diluc's and Kaeya's relationship has been marked by bitterness and resentment.

Their decisions, that night, had irreversible consequences—both for them as individuals and for their once positive relationship.

I mean, Diluc almost killed Kaeya. And, I believe if Kaeya hadn't gained his Cryo Vision when he did, Diluc would've succeeded. After all, Diluc was the Calvary Captain for the Knights of Favonius at the time, and while Kaeya was no doubt trained in combat, he didn't have Diluc's raw strength or his honed skill. Kaeya was no match for him.

As for Kaeya himself, I struggle to understand what he was thinking—revealing his origins to Diluc, only hours after their father's death. I have speculated that it was most likely guilt that led him to that particular confession, but by God, the timing. It truly couldn't have been worse than that.

Nonetheless, I stand by what I said in that other post: I don't believe Kaeya expected Diluc to lose it the way he did.

Until then, their relationship had been the most enduring aspect of their young, adolescent lives. So much so that the people of Mondstadt often likened them to twins. Their foundations, both as friends and as brothers, seemed like it could withstand anything. And I believe that's why Kaeya confessed it at all.

He trusted in their relationship. He trusted that, while his brother would be furious, their differences could eventually be resolved. But that's not how it turned out. Not even in the slightest. Kaeya's cold, biting jabs at Diluc we see in-game seem to be born from that perceived betrayal. After all, in all the lies Kaeya was forced to tell, the one truth he held onto was his brother's faith in him.

Diluc, on the other hand, was already at the edge of his endurance. His father was dead, and based on what was presented to us in the Genshin webtoon, it's implied he was forced to take Crepus' life to spare him from all the adverse effects caused by his Delusion. Emotionally, Diluc was an exposed nerve, and Kaeya's truth was the final straw.

He lashed out, and he aimed to kill. Almost as though the last few hours had accumulated into a rage that blinded him entirely. Kaeya was all he had left, but in that moment, Diluc was no longer certain he even had that. His best friend, his brother, had been lying to him all this time. How could he be certain of anything? Let alone be certain of a relationship built on half-truths and deception. So, that's why I think Diluc makes all those scathing, ill-mannered comments in-game at Kaeya's expense.

I don't know if the rift gaping between them can ever be bridged, not after all that happened that night, but if there is a chance, it will have to start with them acknowledging their own mistakes. Otherwise, their relationship will endure as we see it now: fractured and irreparable.

(layout by @/ameyumez!)

hi hi!! welcome to my milgram x reader blog!! ik milgram is probably not the best media for x reader content but eh i'm doing this for fun 👍

🧡 about me:

♡ lina

♡ 21 y/o

♡ demigirl + any pronouns

♡ my other fandoms are twisted wonderland, project sekai, vocaloid, honkai star rail, genshin impact, fragaria memories and many others

♡ my favorite characters are yuno, mahiru and amane + i also like haruka and muu

♡ i prefer to use lowercase letters most of the time because uh.. i hate capitalism

♡ i also have some other blogs you can check out below!

please read this before you request:

🧡 rules:

♡ because of the nature of the project, please remember that literally anything can easily get confirmed or turn out to be wrong, so i can't say that my writing will be 100% in character.

♡ please specify whether you want the reader to be the guard or the prisoner and their gender, otherwise i'll go with gn!reader.

♡ same goes for the setting, if your request doesn't mention it, please specify whether you want it to take place in a prison or a non-prison au/casual setting.

♡ my character limit is four characters per request, but i can write more when it comes to self-indulgent stuff or events (if there will be any djkdlssld).

♡ mentioning whether you want it to be the t1/t2 version of the prisoner would also help a lot!

♡ i'm a system myself, so i'll try my best to write mikosys as accurately as possible, but i'm a newly discovered system, so i can still make some mistakes.

♡ speaking of mikosys, if you're requesting something for them and your request doesn't mention it, please specify if you're asking for mikoto or john/orekoto.

♡ also, i prefer to see john as a part of mikoto, but also a separate character, so if you're requesting something for both mikoto and john, i will count them as two characters, so please keep that in mind when you request something!

🧡 what i will write:

♡ all main project prisoners + es

♡ both romantic and platonic headcanons (everything i write for amane will be strictly platonic)

♡ fluff, angst, comedy, etc

♡ guard!reader and prisoner!reader

♡ both t1 and t2 prisoners (+ maybe some t3 headcanons/theories?..)

♡ gn!reader, male!reader, fem!reader (a note: because of how popular the theory about kazui being gay is and because of the possibility of it being confirmed, i'd prefer to write only gn!reader and male!reader when it comes to him)

♡ both mikoto and john/orekoto

♡ non-prison au

♡ i prefer to write headcanons rather than scenarios simply because headcanons are easier to write jdkldsjssk

♡ i also may post general/non-x reader writing here (like crimeswap au, alternate verdicts au, etc) if y'all are interested :)

🧡 depends on the request:

♡ because of the nature of the project, i'm totally okay with writing dark content, including yandere, but i have a right not to wriite something if it makes me uncomfortable for one reason or another.

♡ as mentioned below, i don't write nsfw, but i'm okay with suggestive stuff, but again, i may be uncomfortable with some of it. also, i will write content like this only for the adult characters, meaning everyone except es, haruka, muu and amane.

🧡 what i won't write:

♡ novel characters (i don't think there's enough canon stuff to write anything about them tbh..)

♡ side characters and victims (as much as i would love to write something for rei, hinako, shidou's wife, etc, again, we know even less when it comes to them)

♡ nsfw (again, suggestive/light nsfw is okay, but only with adult characters)

♡ even though i like the threekoto theory a lot, i won't write for midokoto/greenkoto/doe, since it's not confirmed and there's not much i can do when it comes to his character.

🧡 my other blogs:
