Sagau w/ an impostor would be so simple with me because the characters can easily tell the fake apart from the real
Mostly because the fake would probably be graceful n shit
Meanwhile the real one keeps picking up every single sweet flower, wandering around to random places and quietly walking past sleeping hilichurls because it'd be rude to wake them up!
Like the characters would have to put up w/ me cooing at the sleeping, snoring hilichurls 😭 like no way am I waking them up
No but really, I can't even ambush the sleeping once, if I need to kill them I at least wake them up before the fight akdhsksj
the thing is that the characters don’t really know what the (creator?) is like, so even if you and the imposter were entirely different people, it’d be difficult to see who’s real and who’s fake because, well, they don’t know you as a person. in fact, because the fake is so graceful and all, people would be more likely to think that they’re the real one.
though because i’m a sucker for drama, i think there’d be factions throughout teyvat, rallying behind you or the fake. some believe that the fake is real simply because they’re more elegant and ‘god-like’ in appearance, so to speak, all intimidating presence and authoritative voice. others believe you’re the real one because only the true god would be so in tune with nature and compassionate with all living beings, benevolent and empathetic and all the good parts that make you human. tho the humanity you have also serves as a double edged sword because it places you down the pedestal of what they think a god should be.
among the archons, the ones i see rallying behind you are venti and nahida. as for the imposter, it’d be zhongli and ei. (though i imagine zhongli would soon see through the fake simply because of how old and knowledgable he is.)
also, you’re a better person than me anon bc i don’t discriminate between sleeping and awake hilichurls. if i see one, i’m immediately throwing hands.
#i like the concept of sagau but sometimes it gets a bit much#also i wish the fandom chose a different name for this trope because self-aware genshin au (sagau) doesn’t fit in this genre anymore#i mean sure it’s what initially kickstarted the whole creator thing but yknow the actual self-aware genshin aus became few and far between-#because of it#that’s really the only gripe about this trope#scratch that there’s one other thing#it’s the over dramatic villainy of the characters when it comes to imposter aus#i mean sure they’d be devoted to the imposter but i don’t think they’d be so needlessly cruel#it just takes away from their character#but it’s all well and good because we’re all allowed to write what we want#this is just an opinion of mine#if anyone reads this mwah send me more asks about my thoughts on sagau bc i love talking about my opinions#genshin sagau#genshin x reader#asks
