#just on the fly... I play genshin because it's just fun for me. I don't get drained because it's actually possible to pace yourself on it.

[sky-poprocks]

Not to send an essay in ur inbox but LITERALLY. I've seen ppl complain that genshin is too grindy and it's like. You people would NOT survive playing sky: children of the light. Genshin has a lot of grinding and farming but at least you get noticeable progress from it!! In sky you spend 2 hours farming for 15 candles and then if u don't have any friends to hang out with u just kind of. Log off. But you can't Not do those 2 hours of farming because then you won't be able to get the 16 new cosmetics tgc introduced at once that all cost 200 candles. At least 2 hours of playing genshin gets you well into the story, or artifacts or primogems or SOMETHING worthwhile. Probably should've just made this a post this is long sorry abdhdbfjxbd I just. Have a lot of feelings about the fact that gambling: the game is less horrid to be invested in than sky: children of the light which is supposed to be this fun cute lighthearted experience. Idk. We literally do not know each other sorry for this abdjdnjd

-forgetful-storyteller

gaymer. @forgetful-storyteller

look at my first post on this blog's fucking date. I've been playing since android release and stopped around Shattering getting into beta, this is my sky side-blog. I know Sky's draining on players. 2 years of sky fucked me up.

I grinded daily in sky. it fucking slaughtered me. I still have muscle memory of HF and VoT candle runs.

I don't play sky often anymore for a fucking reason; no one I'm close to plays, it's actually draining and stressing.

I was ftp other than maybe 2-3 seasonal passes on sky. I basically did crs daily for months when possible in 2020-2021, and got fucked over.

You may have a better experience in Sky than Genshin (if you played it), but Genshin is actually better for my mental health long term. I can drop it without worry, and I only play for fun with less worry of "I'm not going to be able to get something I want!" or "shit I'm low on candles". and don't even get me started on the winged lights that only got worse and worse.

I dislike gambling as well, but I don't spend money on Genshin, and quite honestly? I get more from Genshin than Sky ever did for me, which yeah, fucking sucks, but I hate grinding and I can bullshit my way through genshin without constantly gambling. Tbh bud, if TGC found a way to get people gambling, they would. They are not above that as a game company.

Why do you think all of the IAP are so fucking expensive for what it is, even when not collabs? Sky is not a moral game on ethics to it's making either. TGC have ignored the fact they need to pay artist and sweep so many things under the rug from players to try and keep people distracted they always will.

(Edit: I did misread it, look at reblogs)

♡ *slams a hand on the wall* "I LOVE YOU" ♡

-> how the genshin men would react when you confess by "kabedon"-ing them

lyneira's 1.2k milestone event

Plays the uno reverse card

Alhaitham, Childe, Dainsleif, Itto

They'd raise an eyebrow and smirk, because 1) he's glad that his feelings for you are mutual and 2) because of your audacity to put him in such a place.

So, he'll flip you over and kabedon you, caging you under both of his arms. If anyone's gonna be the dominant one in the relationship, it's gonna be him. Needless to say, he loves you back.

He'll laugh

Ayato, Baizhu, Heizou, Kaeya, Cyno, Venti

No, he's not laughing to be mean or because he finds your confession hilarious. He chuckles because he finds your display of love unbearably cute. This bold attempt to catch him off guard was something he found so endearing. So he'll rest his hand on your cheek and stare deep into your eyes, "come on then, kiss me already", he smiles. And if you don't kiss him within that second, he'll be the one to kiss you immediately, whispering, "I love you too, y/n"

"Kya.!!" >///<

Gorou, Thoma

They'll be just like the heroine in your typical shoujo anime when you kabedon them and confess, blushing like crazy with "doki doki" symbols flying in the air. They're ecstatic and so relieved that you share the same feelings they have for you, and at the same time, this assertive gesture has them head over heels and leaves them craving for more.

Tries to cover their blush

Diluc, Scaramouche, Xiao

I see them reacting like a tsundere, in a sort of "W-What are you doing..?!", brows furrowed and trying to cover their flushed cheeks type of way. Kind of like Tamaki here

Nonetheless, he'd still confess his own love for you as well.

"Well...I love you too..."

Now y'all can "kiss kiss~ fall in love~! 🌸💞" LOL gosh I love ohshc

Smiles :)

Zhongli, Kazuha, Tighnari, Albedo, Kaveh

They'll smile tenderly, appreciating and adoring your passionate gesture of affection and will make sure you know it. He'll cup your face in his hands and say that he loves you back and will leave a deep kiss on your lips. He'll reveal his own passion for you through the multitude of kisses he'll give you if you don't stop there, hehe

a/n: I feel like a lot of these sounded similar to each other (even in the twst kabedon post too). I was kinda running out of ideas, but hey at least I'm still having fun :')

© 2023 lyneira. PLEASE DO NOT COPY, PLAGIARIZE, OR REPOST MY WRITING ONTO OTHER PLATFORMS

[tomiyeee]

donnie had. SO. much concept art lol. i really enjoyed the whole design process though. his base design is very difficult to work with because of the battleshell, but it gave me a lot of chances to get creative and i'm happy with the results :)

(also as a disclaimer so i don't get asked about this: i don't have motivation to finish raph or the wish art for donnie, so i'm just posting what i've got)

i didn't annotate these as much since there'd be a lot to write, but i'll write out some of my thought processes and go into some detail about his final design below the cut if you're interested! (it's long. i'm talkative 😔)

1st row - first iteration; much more literal 1:1 translation of his design into a fantasy setting. very steampunk-y. ended up completely scrapping it because, simply put, he looked more like an npc than a playable character. obviously, several features did still carry over throughout the design process :3 also wanted to imagine his attack pattern cuz i thought it'd be fun to incorporate his spider arms.

this was actually the first design of any of them i'd come up with! i've definitely learned a lot about genshin's character design style since then and i think it shows 😂

2nd row - playing around with the idea of a floating battleshell (rather than a backpack-like one in the the show & first version), inspired by nahida's cape. also hard light constructs/attachments. was leaning too into the sci-fi and rectangular motifs with the design, but i liked the idea.

3rd/4rth rows - concepts for his final outfit and shell designs (the colored/more-detailed pics are the more finalized ones). took a lot of inspiration from sumeru this time around. it's a lot sharper, shinier, and less rectangular than his og aesthetic, but i think it's more in-line with genshin's design philosophies.

5th row - not entirely sure why i went through all the trouble of making a 3d model for this. i mostly just thought it'd be fun and good for reference. i was right, but i don't know what to do with it now lol. can't be bothered to be a perfectionist about it though, so don't look too closely at it 😭

6th row - incomplete thumbnails of his burst/wish art. not super sold on that "wing" design in particular, but i do like the idea of his shell splitting and deploying hard light weapons/rocket launchers/etc sort of like in canon.

battleshell/misc notes - i'm thinking his battleshell is controlled using the pink sensor on the back of his coat, possibly in combination with his headset. it floats behind him by default and is sturdy enough to protect his back, but he can also freely fly it around like a drone if he wants. the holes on the side are mainly for the spider arms and the banners(?) and handles(?) with the blue/pink gradient are made of hard light and only appear when the shell is in use.

i imagine like in the series, his tech here isn't necessarily very reliant on his vision/powers; much of it he likely made himself long before he received a vision and he just uses his vision to enhance it.

his burst is a barrage of missiles from his shell that lock onto an enemy and deal a large burst of electro damage in an AOE. not sure if i want his skill to be a deployable or some sort of electro-infusion/boost 🤔 maybe something that involves deploying his shell to boost his damage while leaving him vulnerable, like a glass canon? though i'm not sure he'd be that sort of risk-taker... 😅 dunno! his signature weapon would totally be his tech bo though.

that's about all i can think of. thanks for reading!

Sumeru Men during Ganesh Chaturthi.

♥♥♥Okayy this might be a little too niche but for that 1% desi genshin fans pspsppspspps. ♥♥♥

A/N: Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival we celebrate in india, where we bring an idol of the popular hindu deity Ganesh home.

﹆ꕤ⊹Desi Sumeru Head cannons: Ganesh Chaturthi special.﹆ꕤ⊹

.. ♥Kaveh, Al Haitham, Cyno, Wanderer, Tighnari ft. Kaeya ♥ ..

Kaveh Head of decorations. Art child of the house forced into becoming the head designer for the festival. The entire responsibility of the decoration is pushed onto him, whether he's okay with it or not. By the end of it he'll be sitting on the ground with flower garlands and fairy lights around his neck. STRESSEDDD, he has to get the space ready before they actually bring the Ganpati idol home and right now nothing is sticking to the wall, the lights look ugly and Al Haitham is getting on his last nerve. 

Cyno SELLOTAPE MAN, bro cannot be trusted with anything other than cutting small pieces of sticky tape and holding them ready for kaveh. He might even start sticking them on Scara's hat so that they're easier to peel.  He has a little shop of every type of sticky tape available- the double sided one, masking tape, the yellow coloured one for the light arrangements and the clear see-through ones, whatever you want. Will offer bad jokes with every piece. Also primarily here for the spiced milk.  

Tighnari The environmentalist that goes on about how they should use eco- friendly decorations and ban polystyrene but does nothing to actually help. Will bring all the raw material for the flower and fruit arrangement and that's his only contribution. The rest of the time he'll play music and and give Kaveh bad advice. Also the kind to get modak edibles for the gang so they're all high as hell during the ceremony. The kind of soft launch his s/o to his fam by inviting them to the festival. 

Wanderer The non-native that's experiencing it for the first time. Let's be honest, his mom forced him to be here. He could not give a flying fuck about what the festival is and why its celebrated. But apparently its important to socialize, so fine he'll show up. He's given the huge bundle of fairy lights, pulled straight out of the attic so he can sit in a corner untangling them while the others conceptualise the decorations. Eventually has to work with the sellotape man. His hands hurt from holding the lights up because kaveh can't make up his mind on where they look good. The wires are old so might get electrocuted accidently. Also complains about the noise pollution outside, then dances his ass off during Visarjan, after eating Tighnari's edible. Al Haitham The critic. Exists solely to shit on all of Kaveh's ideas. He'll lounge around the room, not involving himself in anything, but the moment Kaveh assembling things he'll point out everything he's doing wrong. Will give random pointers until Kaveh rips his hair out. 100% will start fighting. "WHY ARE YOU HERE THEN? JUST WHY ARE YOU HERE? GO HOME" "I'm here because you're incompetent." ♥ "Yeah, that is not going to hold."  "Stfu Al Haitham, I'm the architect here, you think i don't know how these things work? I know what materials work with what kind-  The entire decoration crashes down on him the moment he says this, its 3am in the morning and kaveh is on the verge of tears.  "Told you so."  ♥ Kaeya The one NRI cousin that lives abroad and cries on Instagram over how much they miss the festival. Will dress up regardless to take pictures, attempt to make the sweets on their own and video call their fam all the time. Somehow finds an university club, or local desi community that celebrates the festival in that country and spams on socials.

bwhahahaah this was so much fun to write, i was actually imagining them as me and my cousins.

Can I ask for 🌹🦋 platonic yandere with Venti?

Title: Neverland

Character(s): Venti (Genshin Impact) Summary: You always wanted to go to neverland, and you did. But when you wanted to return back home the flying boy did not want to let you go. Warnings/tags: Platonic yandere, fem!reader, kidnapping, slight manipulation

Note: This has been written with platonic yandere in mind but it is rather open-ended actually and up to the reader on what happened to Venti when you were gone and on what happened to you after. Venti is depicted to be a similar age as the reader (so if the reader is 7 years old Venti is like 2 or 3 years older.)

[ - A little present~! Event - Closed - ]

You adored fairytales... You were young, after all, curious about the world inside the books. Magic that belongs only to books and not here. You were interested in fairytales like when the princess was captured and taken away to a tower only for a knight and shining armor to save her or a puppet that could not lie because if he does his nose would grow long or a story about a girl who once walked into a home that belonged to a family of 3 bears.

You loved those books but your favorite book, in particular, was about an immortal boy who could fly. It was obvious when you would jump on your bed hoping to fly up to the sky at one point or how you would watch your window for shadows or a boy that would one day show up and take you to neverland.

So when it finally happened, when you saw a young boy maybe similar to your age flying around your room with a small wisp by his side you didn't hesitate to accept his offer when he asked you to join him in Neverland. You didn't think about the people you were leaving, your parents or friends too caught up in the magic. Taking his hand when he promised you a world of mermaids, pirates, and a place you will never "grow up."

"Haha, how about it? Wanna join me to neverland? The place full of songs and laughter!"

You went to neverland and it was all you ever dreamed of as you played with the boy and his friends. Flying wherever you want, sleeping under the trees with other kids just like you, and seeing the prettiest mermaids that wave at you as you waved back. It was just so much fun.

"Yaa-hoo! Isn't this fun?"

But you were a child and in the end, you would miss your parents. Their hug and comfort, you just miss them and wish nothing but to go back.

"Ehhh, homesickness? What is that? You should instead help me make a tune! We are almost finished making that beautiful song, you know!"

"No, I took you to Neverland because I thought you would be with us, Me forever!" Venti, your friend, the boy who could fly and brought you here, refused to let you go, holding your hand tight.

His eyes were teary, lost as he looked straight at you. You didn't understand the madness in his eyes when the small boy looked at you but one thing is for certain was that you understood his words which only means that you could not see your parents and could only pout at the situation.

"We can go apple picking if you want! We can make apple cider, don't you love that drink? I have a secret that will make it extra yummy!"

You were stubborn, maybe too stubborn but all you want is to see your parents so when you find that first opportunity to finally leave neverland you took it. Leaving the place where you would never age back in the arms of your distraught parents who thought that they had forever lost you.

"Friend?.... Hey? Where are you?.... Why did you go back... You were supposed to be with me forever..."

You moved houses you parents could no longer live in that place where they have lost you... when you told them about your story and why you were gone. They didn't believe that you went to Neverland and thought that you somehow wore colored glasses that express a world that wasn't there when, in reality, you were only just kidnapped. Fear that this might happen again, they took you away.

Away from him.

You did not understand why they were so scared back then, yet later as you grew up you could only thank them for wanting to keep you safe.

You were an adult now, you got a new job and the pay was alright. It was a little far from your parent's home, but it was fine because you finally could move out and make a living for yourself.

Years have passed since that incident when you were young, and the memories have become foggy and a blur. You fell in love with someone and decided to marry. You have your own family and something to look forward to in your own reality.

"Found you."

Yet it seems that is not the case for everyone. A pair of eyes watching you as you grow older and older, wishing to give you what you want yet at the same time trying to hold himself back to drag you to his world again. He too, has aged as he continued to look for you in your world. His eyes, which were once clear glass-like innocence, now dark obsessive anger.

When you hear a knock on the window, do not open it. Your family may do so, but they would not find anything there. You yourself, tho mustn't for the moment you open the windows and let the wind it. You will leave nothing behind, but only your house slippers dragged back to Wonderland held by a boy whispering songs in your peaceful, tired sleep.

"My friend, you are finally in my arm! I am so glad that I finally caught you. Let's go back to Neverland alright?"

Floor is lava game with Genshin characters? C:

You didn't specify which so I guess I can choose.

🍮The floor is lava with genshin characters

Venti, Cyno, Tighnari, Wanderer, Xiao, Ayaka, Hu tao.

Venti

He likes games. He also plays hide and seek with Bennet sometimes.

He's gonna tease you with this one, because he can fly himself up with his anemo powers. In fact you feel like is useless to even play this with him.

But he's gonna make this fair for you and not use his anemo powers, in case you don't have an anemo vision or other powers that can allow you to compete with his godly ones.

Once he's not allowed to use Anemo, he's a loser. He panics and can't find a good spot in those 5 seconds. When he does, he manages to fall. He climbed a big barrel of wine, and he was struggling to climb it for a good while, with his foot on the top of it and the other leg hanging. You end up helping him by pushing him by his ass because you have mercy.

He thought he won once and proudly made a "Hehe" sound, just before a cat jumped in his head, hissing.

He's not bad at climbing trees, but the problem is that he can't get down without his Anemo powers.

He's faking that he can't climb places just so that you get to carry him and lift him. And you know that very well.

"I can't climb that. You're not gonna let me die in lava are you? :(("

You can go ahead and princess carry and lift Venti up. You probably only want to play this game for the sake of doing that. You get to touch his thighs pretty often.

"I'll lift you up Venti, don't bother your beautiful princess ankles."

He sprains his ankles.

Climbs the tables at Angel's share and gets beaten up with a broom by Diluc. He just cleaned those.

Also climbs the stair margin at angel's share and he is gliding down on it. Another broom on his back. Those were cleaned.

Cyno

Takes it more seriously than you thought he would.

He starts doing calisthenics on everything, everywhere, anyhow. He'll find a way. Somehow, he'll always find a way to stay suspended in the air.

You thought it would be impossible to play in the plain desert, with only one vertical rock around. What is he gonna do? Glue himself on the rock? There is no way he wou—

His spear is sitting with one part stuck in the sand, the other leaned against the rock, on the spear he's standing in his HANDS in perfect equilibrium, using a lot of muscle groups for that.

The desert is not so fun to play this in. But the forests and cities in Sumeru come with a lot of possibilities.

So he will always hold himself up, dead hanging, if possible, and because you want him to lose and stop being such a perfect calisthener, you grab onto his legs and dead hang too. Good workout. Now forest rangers and akademiya students are gonna walk past you and wonder what are you doing. What is General Mahamatra doing? Must be some serious workout.

It slowly becomes workout routines and you don't even realize it, neither Cyno. You're now doing calisthenics in all kinds of positions.

"Tighnari. There is this new game I like."

He is dead hanging by a tree branch, with you climbed on his legs, and he lifts his legs up, training his legs and abdomen.

Once is your turn, wether you can handle or not, I don't think you can really escape it because he's also gonna dead hang on you.

Tighnari doesn't even bother to bring this up. He ignores when he sees you and Cyno playing floor is lava with calisthenic workouts.

Tighnari

Got lured into the game by seeing you and Cyno go crazy with calisthenics all around the forest, or you convinced him.

"Don't hurt yourself."

Thinks the game is embarrassing at first.

But he's a happy fox, he's not gonna hesitate much if all he has to do is climb trees. He's good at climbing trees. He always climbs random trees at times and Cyno finds him sitting there for no particular reason.

You don't even get to find a place because you already see him up in a tree, staring down at you. He's a winner.

If you get Cyno to play with you two, Tighnari is irritated by Cyno's need to be extra with his calisthenic positions, but secretly, he likes it.

You can dead hang with him too. But he's not got such strength as Cyno to last for a long time if you're hanging by his waist or legs.

He's probably the one used as workout material by both you and Cyno. But he's a sly fox and can use you or Cyno as ladders to climb up trees. Following his own interests. You and Cyno can stay there and die in the lava, together with his jokes and everything. He hits you with the tail in the face by mistake.

You accidentally drop him in the water a few times, and when there's not enough space on a spot, you both trip and fall in the water and he swims out, and had to dry his wet tail. You laugh at his wet tail.

You then get chased by a fox with wet tail.

"I'll show you!"

Wanderer

"What the HELL is that?" You want him to play games with you? "HA! You're such a baby!" He ends up playing it. He's a baby too.

His superiority complex is pleased. He can now just rise himself above you and laugh at you, worm, who's on the ground.

You tell him to play without his anemo powers and he didn't accept it at first.

"The rules are that I don't touch the ground! WHAT DO you want?"

Once you two are playing without powers from visions, he's really agile and fast, but If you follow his place he's gonna push you down so that you fall in the lava. Then he laughs. He's so kind.🩵

He even follows you when there aren't many possibilities around, and he pushes you off! He's definitely putting you as his first priority.🩵

Sits on a Hilichurl tower with his legs crossed like a queen and looks down at you, who didn't manage to climb up. Then a Hilichurl throws an apple in his head.

You push him off as well. You pull him by the legs and grab him off. If you can't win, neither should he. So it turns into stupid fights. You grab him by his clothes and you accidentally almost pull his pants off.

You also grab his foot and the shoe slips off from how much force you were putting into, while he was holding himself by that tree with all the stubbornness in the world.

"That's what you get. Stay with the shoe."

"Now put it back." And Cinderella raises his foot for you to put the shoe on.

Xiao

Oh, another calisthenics practicer.

"Games. You want to play with me..."

He makes a promise that he'll play with you and he keeps it. You tell him the rules, and he finds it fair simple.

"Like mortals. I get it."

He just stands there prepared and waits for you to start.

He's agile and strong and puts too much effort into a simple game, because of getting used to be tense and ready to fight all the time.

"Not gonna leave you die in the lava." And he misses the point of the game by carrying you under his armpit when he finds a spot.

After playing a few times, he becomes the one to ask you to play together, which is unexpected.

"Can we play that game again? I don't remember how it was called."

You watch him doing pull ups on a bar, so you're now going crazy to hold yourself by his waist and him to easily do pull ups with you.

When it's about moving around without touching the ground, he jumps. And if the distance is too long or high for you, he's gonna carry you.

Xiao is more of a parkour practicer, like Spider-man, like Batman at night.

He is moving from hand to hand on high up bridges with wood planks.

He doesn't stand in place, he's fast. He's pole vaulting his way, Pole vault which is a sport in which you jump high with the help of a long stick.

Ayaka

If you're happy, she is happy so she doesn't mind playing with you.

She uses her ice vision to make an ice platform under the ground.

"This is not how we play? But is ice. Ice beats lava."

Instead of you two picking up different spots, fate makes it that you both choose the same one by coincidence, and you just awkwardly run together and climb together. And the coincidence keeps repeating, she's just thinking of the same thing as you.

She's a warrior with a katana so she must be physically strong enough to climb up high places.

She falls on you once. Didn't expect her to feel that heavy.

Then she comes with the idea of stepping in water. She can't lose if she's in water. You cry when you see her in the water with the socks on.

You end up racing with her to who goes first to climb up trees.

She wants to lift you up by your waist so that you reach first. Not that you can't climb on your own, she just likes to lift you.

Hu tao

She's the lava in the game.

She is making fire on the ground just to scare you, because is funny.

"Ashes to ashes! There's a 10% funeral discount if you are ashes."

She is the one to count and it makes you run for your life. She runs after you and you scream and then she screams and you scream again.

You climb on the same spot as her and she shakes you until you fall. Making things interesting.

"Come on! Let's climb the abandoned haunted houses at night and whoever doesn't climb in time has to take a back slap from the other."

You get back slapped because you didn't climb in time. Her palm is heavy.

The house roof is old and the tiles slide down with her, making noises that awakes the grumpy old man that lives near.

She swings on trees branches and stands upside down. You climb trees and houses together and is hard to get down everytime.

She lets her imagination run wild and rushes you to climb faster because the lava is coming from the east.

"We need to climb higher! The lava is raising, Liyue is covered! There is no escape, but to spend our night time on the roof till sunrise!"

You both try to move without interacting with the ground, jumping from rock to rock, using her spear to jump, walking on the margins of the houses.

If she fails she's gonna get in her role, all dramatic, and say that she's dead in the lava now. Soap opera.

People are looking at you both running in the streets of Liyue because apparently lava is soon coming to drown the city.

🍮Author's note: Happy Saturday Easter for Orthodox! I am planning on finishing all the requests soon.

I went all over myself with calisthenics and sports there. Couldn't help it. I had to do the calisthenic practicer Cyno master daddy.

[smilingangel582]

Weeeeheeee uuuuu guyyys beeeen waiting tooooo loonng.

This will be my first ever daaadaaadaaa will you doo the fandangoooo!

Ahh yes scara -oopse who's thT? I mean wanderer and I named him "Yuki" cute neh.

Ne, ne... in case you guys want to ask me things pls ask kk Away

Tragically however I'm clumsy and by accident I deleted some asks and I want you to forgive me of I have forgotten u....I'm a little busy and I didn't have time to think straight sooooo I made time for u this timeeee meeee trying kkk?

Genshin impact will soon launch version 3.8, and I'm excited because after that, the wanderer banner is coming....finally, u can pull for that bratty puppet! Called the wanderer Yuki, so if you are confused, I named him Yuki OK.

Enjoyyyy, no spoilers, cuz it's a game... but still, u can play it before reading! I love iiiim

Weakness of the former all mighty God

It was an understament to say Yuki hated the traveller. Yet he finds his ability to smile every situation and be laid back is puzzling.

The wanderer was the name he went by. He gave up his past and became a free spirit. He was seeing new sides of the world. He hated people, but now it's more of an antisocial trait than wishing annihilation on the human race.

Yuki, the name was appealing to him. The traveller even went so far as to share his own name with him, and he didn't mind. But naming him, Yuki felt somehow warm despite it meant snow.

"Oiii Yukii dont get lost in the traveler's teapot alright?" Paimon's voice clammered, and he looked up with an eye roll "your too loud,"

"And you're too slow for someone so fast"

The traveller laughed at the petty dispute between them. He had his golden eyes on Yuki, making him feel conscious as they began leisurely moving around the large space of the new world he was in.

"You're quiet today... something wrong?

Yuki noticed Aether's concern. He looked away with a sigh "Yeah just thinking... it was not too long ago. I wanted to kill you, and now you looked like you could die for me"

He expected a denial of that statement but surprisingly Aether gave a sheepish laugh "I know, it had been so long"

"W...what?" He blinked twice, unable to apprehend this sudden sensation of warmth.

Paimon and Aether exchanged happy smiles. "Come on..." it was his flying companion."We're friends... we smile and laugh like anyone else. You don't need to be so stiff"

Yuki's smile didn't reach him, he smirked sure... but a smile? Is it different from what he expressed before?

Before he could say anything more. He felt a poke in the side from Aether. He had a mischievous grin "Careeeful Yukii~ let your guard down like that, your friends will expose a weakness from you" then brightly perking up and wiggling his fingers he giggled "And that's what friends are for so take that!"

Tackling the wanderer in their own teapot, where the grass touched him, he was shocked when the traveller began to dig his fingers to his ribs.

"What in the world -gah!! Wahahit whahat ihihis thahaht?"

He felt a spread of electric waves from his sides, like the traveller was using electric powers, but not it was just his blunt fingers.

Paimon snickered absurdly. "You seriously haven't been tickled before? All the more reason that it is fun!"

Tickled? Not a word he knew, but it didn't hurt. He just felt it funny and the urge to let out laughter. It was certainly humiliating.

"Haah?? Thihihis ihihis weheheheird stahahahap ihit!" Yuki squirmed under the blond, who also laughed in thrill at the sight of blushing wanderer. Paimon sneaked in a few prods to his toes that were poking out from his sandals.

"Isn't this fun, though?" Aether said softly, now pinching his lower ribs."Aren't you relaxed?"

The lower ribs were bad, and Yuki cackled now. "Gaaaah! Wahahahahait wait wait wait! Thehehereee! Ihihitd bahahahahad! Whahahat are yohou dohohoiing!!!??? Cuhuhuhut it outttt Aetheheher!"

Laughing at the sudden burst of laughter Paimon had the audacity to take pictures of them from the Kamera.

"Gehet her away from thahat! Nohoho stahahap!" He giggled sweetly when he covered his face. Smirking, he drilled his fingers under his arms through the cloak, and that made him lower his arms.

"So cute..." Aether murmured and then he stopped for a while "That's called tickling,"

"Tehehe... whahat a funnehehey wohord..." he breathed giggles, now settling to a calmer mood."Why did I laugh thoho?"

To emphasised he poked his ribs making him squeal adorably "This touch, its something humans have but I didn't expect a puppet like you to be ticklish....its adorable"

"Wait... ticklish... tickled... so many words tho..."

"It's both a verb, a noun and an adverb of it silly..." Paimon said poking his ears now.

"Gaah enough," he pulled away from the teasing and blushed furiously. "Mark my words, and I will get my revenge tenfold!

"And I'll just tickle you again," he began to chase Yuki, who had failed to make his threat more real. He thought as he escaped the evil clutches of the traveller...

I will certainly get him back for sure!

As a fellow hi3rd turned hsr player, how are we feeling about Star Rail now that some time has passed? I remember disliking it because new ppl wouldn't use Honkai Star Rail as the tag and would flood the HI3rd tag with a lot of "x reader" fics with the Star Rail men.

I dropped playing it after Seele's banner and haven't really felt a huge desire to progress past the Ice Planet. Idk, I worry that it'll go the Genshin route and become aimless and boring.

I do enjoy the designs a lot more than genshin's but still not as much as HI3rd. I like that we have an MC who doesn't feel completely unrelated to the story like how it feels in genshin, and Stelle actually talks instead of having a small flying companion speak everything for us.

Gameplay wise I think it is more fun than any of the previous games, but visually lacking a little. (Kind of biased here since I adore turn based combat) I guess I'm just waiting for the "WOW‼️" moment with this game.

Honkai Impact 3rd really won me over with the main cast of characters as well as the reveal with Sirin. I might not have loved every decision made along the journey of Part 1, but I never really felt bored or distanced from the story like I do with the other two games.

I've been playing Star Rail ever since its release, the only long breaks being between events and new patches because I didn't feel the need to grind constantly and I've been pretty burnt out for a while.

geez I surely do hate people who mess up the tags. it still happens, but on way lower frequency now I think. it's even more annoying when you wanna find one hi3 character with their very own tag but end up seeing just their HSR counterpart with messed up tags - big issue as a Murata Himeko enjoyer, smh.

the game is as if Honkai Impact and Genshin had a child. it's somewhere in-between in quality I guess, though it leans more towards HI3 (because it's a Honkai game, duh). the maps really be giving you this feeling of not-so-open open worlds from HI3. I guess the story is fine, though I've seen people saying it's rushed; ngl I was kinda surprised to see Jarilo-VI part being already concluded in just one version lol. I don't mind anything in the trailblazer, only that the trend of more and more gacha games deciding on the either full or partial self-insert with dialogue choice doesn't sit well with me.

while I'm not repulsed by the turn based combat I think I prefer the hack and slash combat of HI3, or just the types of combat that let you move freely. personally I try to have a taste of every combat type.

I love the most of HI3's part 1 too and while I lost interest in the story after HoV disappeared for good, the only thing that really bothered me besides the hov death bias was the finale which was soo damn rushed just to end before Star Rail's premiere, and other dumb things in it like the whole Ai-chan self-insert bullshit

[genshinconfessions]

I think meta is dumb and I pull for every character that looks cool (aka almost everyone) and make the most atrocious anti-meta teams with both meta and nonmeta characters that are built completely wrong (I'm currently maining a terrible furina (40/125 crit) with an aquila favonia... my other teammates are a kazuha with 12/116 crit and 61.6 anemo dmg (ill think about turning him EM), xilonen (who is probably the only character I built semi-correct) at 1.7k defense, and a raiden shogun with 2k atk. (all c0, furina at level 80, rest at level 70)

banners I'm waiting for:

mavuika - I want cool biker lady with flame hair even if she is not very good with non-natlan characters

arlecchino - scary father lady

clorinde - jojo pose

venti - i love little silly wind god

nahida - i didn't get her last banner and i wanted to complete archon collection 😭😭

zhongli - rock man (archon collection)

klee - klee

if I don't get her this banner then also chasca, flying gun is too fun to pass up

also lyney his next rerun since I'm pulling for chasca this period (right now im a welkin only account)

I assure anyone reading that they will be cared for and loved and built in the most god-awful way known to mankind as well as the worst team comps ever

the highest dmg my team has hit is like only 29k 😭😭

hey just a question are you my partner LOL

i'm jk but he also pulls for whoever looks cool and then does NOT build them (it frustrates the hell out of me because i'm on a mission to build every single character i own LOL)

i wish you luck on this journey, btw! there's no right or wrong way to play genshin (only easier or more difficult ways) so as long as it works for you, keep at it!

[lgcjaehyun]

hi everyone!! and thank you sm for all the welcomes 💕 it's me again wenjun's mun with a second muse !! i'm super excited to bring jaehyun!! he's a sort of (??) fresh trainee and has been around since july 2022 so he's just reached his one year mark woohoo! a just slightly above average dancer and less than average singer who's only getting by thanks to his okay personality 👍🏻 you can find his profile here ! i would love to plot with everyone so pls feel free to like this post and i will fly straight into ur ims!! i also have a twitter @haoylt if anyone would prefer to plot there! i have a discord as well 🫶🏻

underneath the cut i've got a basic profile and some plot ideas!!

both his parents were news anchors

they would bring him to their work place and their colleagues would always comment on how jaehyun looked like he could be a celebrity

received a lot of love from his parents

( tw death ) his mum passed away when giving birth to his little brother when jaehyun was three ( tw end )

jaehyun really adores his little brother!! since they're close in age jaehyun thinks of him as one of his best friends

his dad is still a news anchor for a big broadcast station ( kinda like kbs or sbs ), and even after his mother's passing, jaehyun would still visit the broadcasting station as a kid with his little brother

got through school pretty easily – not because he was particularly smart, but because of his laidback attitude and how easily he made friends

got scouted by an entertainment company when he was a first year in highschool while he was performing at his school's festival

the company went bust though, and jaehyun was forced to leave 💔

was kinda juggling between whether the celebrity life was something that he really wanted and decided yea fuck it it is !! auditioned for legacy and somehow made it in

is a pretty okay dancer, but can't really sing or rap so he really has no idea how he got through the audition

very much the kind of guy that will send funny "good morning... have a beautiful day" messages like this to his friends or in the gc ... is he serious about it?? who knows he just likes sending good morning messages to friends

just trying to get through life with no real direction 👍🏻

plot ideas

friends from childhood, school, etc! jaehyun grew up in seoul all his life

someone who doesnt like him... like you have no idea how he even made it in lgc... sure he can dance but he can't hold a note and his rapping is barely considered 'rapping' to your standards... jaehyun also doesn't seem to take things seriously enough which rightfully annoys you!!

someone who debuted before july 2022 and jaehyun's a huge fan like "i bought your albums" "i voted for you" fan

jaehyun's actually surprisingly a pretty okay actor and your muse helps him realize this ... maybe youre watching dramas together and jaehyun suddenly decides to imitate one of the scenes for fun

jaehyun is a bit of a weeb and the type of guy to text your muse "lets play genshin" in the middle of the night even tho you have training early the next day

your muse has a bit of a crush on jaehyun ?? could be because of his easy going attitude or because jaehyun is the kind of guy who may tend to give off ~ wrong signals ~ when he's trying to be friendly

an ex... could be pre or post lgc era! things don't have to have ended amicably ( because who doesnt love some angst 🫶🏻 )

jaehyun has a bit of a crush on your muse and doesn't know how to act ( stuttering on words, tripping, avoiding eye contact )

anything !!! really!!!!!!

[arlecchno]

lmao the blonde parts are supposed to be teal but i havent had a chance to redye them in foreverr … also yes ! my xiao jacket ! its not the only one out there though LOL

the wall youre seeing is actually my best friend roofs long lost sibling , wall /j

BEFORE 6 !? i could never i always go to bed at like 12am …. im so sleep deprived on school days lol

ME AND THAT FRIEND DID SO MANY SILLY THINGS IN OUR MATH/STEM CLASS LMAO we used to play genshin wish sim (im very young T_T) and say weird things to summon characters (i told the computer id help make kaeya dilucs brother again to get diluc , and BOTH OF THEM CAME HOME IN THE SAME PULL) tbh ive always complained ab stairs so ,,, i cant even take the stairs in my building anymore bc i live on the 9th floor itd take way too long 😭

we have a lot of the same top 5s , kaeya , diluc , and scara share #1 because … yes . my favorite gal is fischl i love her sm -

i have 11 5*s (not including aloy) , and im currently pulling for sir acting grand scribe himself ! im at around late 30 pity , if he does / doesnt come home i will make self ship art because i dont think he would like that >:)

GOOD TO KNOW ITS GOING WELL im actually making notes for a fic i wanna write on call w my previously mentioned friend roof LOL ive had the idea ever since the nilotpala cup event , i really wanted to make like an actual fic based off of it bc that girl from the yae publishing house was supposed to or wtv HAHAH but im procrastinating on a title so im just . UGH - yk ?

i did have a good day both the day you replied and today ! i am injured but its not bad (only hurts when i move certain ways) , i went on a field trip for school today and got to go in a ✨stream✨ and pick up a little crawfish >:D i hope youre doing good as well !! its so nice talking to you lmao youre so cool

i might start sending doodles every ask , so heres a sketch of my genshin oc !!

my “question” issss guess what region theyre from ! or who they live with LOL the hint is that there are already playables from their region , and there are technically two regions theyre from ?? you can guess just one though ill give you the answer next ask :P

- jellyfish

i think it's because i'm already used to waking up early... even tho i'm a very sleep deprived student that sleeps at 12-1 and wakes up at 5 😔 i'm fairly a light sleeper so no matter what time i sleep, whenever my alarm goes off i'm always up by the second 🥲

and LMAOO i've played a ton of those wish sims to prevent myself from rolling whenever i'm saving up for a character, it works wonders

i didn't really expect you to like fischl!!! i like using her in events where we have her as a trial character lol using oz in her burst and flying around is so silly but i always have fun with it!

seems like we're both on the run for alhaitham :D currently have 72 pity and he still has yet to arrive... i do not have a guarantee whatsoever so the next time i pull i'm gonna be praying for him to come home 😔 i've already explored most of the new area for him

and that fic idea sounds interesting! i briefly forgot about that event so when you mentioned it i'm suddenly reminded of how fun playing with the fungi was!! hope you'll find many inspiration for your supposed title, and who knows, next thing you know you're hitting the post button for your fic 🤭

hope you're healing well from your injury also!! have lots of rest and don't overexert yourself too much, resting is very important hehe

it's nice to know that you went on a field trip :O i haven't been to one in a while so hearing it from you reminded me how fun it always is to go on one and escape school (tbf i think we can agree at least half of the students that volunteer on field trips only do it to skip classes LMAO #guilty)

i think if i had to guess, it's a mix between mondstadt and sumeru, maybe? i'm either really wrong or really right since my basic skills of knowledge on each regions' outfits are very minimal 😵‍💫

a question for you; how was your week? tell me all about it!! hehe i honestly like hearing people talk about their day and week because it's undeniably so interesting to know what others have been up to and how different some people's lives can be from ours! hope i'm not rambling too much... i just really like listening to people talk and talk about their life

I dislike that the recent reveal has led to some people calling Kiana K-423, so they can call Bianka Kiana instead. They both already have names you know?

do we know what honkai beast each flamechaser has in them?

Not every single one but for quite a few!

Kevin has genes from the Emperor-class Honkai beast Parvati, the boss in MA and the Honkai beast Theresa killed when she was only 1 year old. Parvati has ice powers thus all the red/black ice Kevin uses and the -30°C body temperature.

My #1 post of 2022

You know about those? I have so many questions...would you be willing to expand on that chart?

The post in question, in case anyone missed it.

I'll just go down the list and start explaining every one I know in a sentence or two.

Welcome everyone to busghost explains the joke.

The first box is pretty self explanatory. Lobby 1 belongs in hell though. I once saw somebody say "use my tongue as your toilet paper" and that's the quality of statements said in Lobby 1 NA.

The Second Box begins getting a little more interesting.

Brilliant Light Fu Hua: there's a scene in the bunny girl video where Senti temporarily takes over Hua's body and feels up her own ass.

Dvalin: has a cameo in chapter 17 when Otto looks across the multiverse.

I dunno daily accounts, maybe it means playing every day.

LE/HoT/HoF Armada support: You always set your friend support as one of them because they give MASSIVE starting sp to people, unconditionally in LE's case.

Theres'a creation: This is just the Theresa Chronicle. She's a clone of Kallen with genes from the Honkai beast Vishnu. Otto was trying one of his many schemes to get Kallen back.

Genshin Appropriation: Genshiners™ only care about Honkai for the bare minimum it can provide them with Genshin Theories, don't actually know/care about the story, and treat it like a stupid little side game to the Holy Relic that is Genshin. "DAE HIMEKO IS DILUC'S MOM???" "OMG DILUC IS A COOLER HIMEKO" You've probably heard these phrases before.

Idk what the Otto homophobia is, probably people who think that Otto wanted to pursue a romantic relationship with Kallen and ignored the fact that she's gay. That opinion kinda misses out on all the nuance of Otto and Kallen's relationship.

Kiana flies herself to the Moon: I mean, she does. Characters do it a few times actually. Also Fly Me 2 the Moon was Mihoyo's first game and it's main character is Kiana.

The Day You Vanished with the Stars: The event that has broken everyone's hearts by making you watch the Captain try to save Kongming over and over and endlessly failing. A really good event, most people's favorite in the Captainverse.

"She will never forget the promise to go to the beach with her friend": Bronya promised to take Seele to the sea but then Seele got quantized and trapped in the Sea of Quanta. Very sad, won't be fulfilled for years.

The Third Box

A-303: Theresa is clone serial number A-310. Otto made her fight A-303 but Theresa refused to kill her. A-303 grows up to become Amber. (idk why she grows up and Teri doesn't, or why Amber is a cyborg)

Fu Hua's taxes: this a great meme from tumblr where somebody asked how/if Fu Hua would pay taxes all the way at Mt. Taixuan. https://busghost.tumblr.com/post/665322989875806208/well-the-answer-is-simple-does-fu-hua-legally

APHO Project Bunny: Project Bunny 19C has retired in APHO so Bronya gets a new gun from Theresa and she names it Project Bunny 0019

Schicksal is the Catholic Curch: I mean that's exactly what it says. The leader is an Archbishop, the Valkyries used to dress like nuns. There are crosses everywhere and Kallen mentions that they're supposed to follow the "Good Book" a name for the Bible. They also talk about "holy" this and that and there are churches everywhere. This makes it VERY funny that Schicksal's cover story in the modern day is as a religious charity/ idol company that calls their idols Valkyries.

Unfinished stories is to general for me say anything about, I'm certain there are unfinished/abandoned plots in Honkai.

Lesbian Jesus: After Kallen dies people start regarding her as the Holy Maid who died for our sins to save everyone... Sound similar to certain Christian religious figure?

Joachim Nokianvertanen: The name Welt Yang was given by his parents. He adopted the Name Welt after taking up the responsibilities of being the Herrscher of Reason. Yang is his mother's maiden name.

Honkai Tumblr: You are here.

Fetus Mobius: not 100% sure but Mobius spoke her first words minutes after being born, so that's pretty funny. The question is also posed that if Mobius died enough times will she revert all the way back to a fetus?

Adam x Mei/Bronya shippers exist: self explanitory and gross! they really did go "unlesbians your gays". Also Adam is a minor.

Durandal's Age: the origins of Bianka are known now but before the only thing we knew about Bianka's age was that Jan 1st, 2000 was a placeholder since she had no memories. This led to plenty of people calling Rita a pedophile for being in a relationship with, even though Bianka is clearly not 16-17. It's over now, We know how old she is, 19 nearly 20.

Fourth Box

Kiana B: Bianka is the original Kiana. Rearrange the letters in Bianka and it spells Kiana B. The other Kiana...

You are so eloquent and so, so good with words. I feel like I’m reading fragments of a book, which is fun (in a good way). I want to match your energy, but I can’t because I’m terrible at texting to the point that I can’t even form a proper sentence that makes sense. ALL OF THAT to say that you are absolutely right in everything you said. I guess that often when we are mad or frustrated, we say irrational things without considering the consequences of what we are saying.

I like games, but if I have to pay to play certain games, then I’d rather spend my money on something else (unless it’s NFSMW, Pokémon, Mario games, or games for Wii).

Honkai games? Should I google it? I feel like I’m gonna see some titties idk why ahah

Hmm... cars... what? So you don’t want to hear me talk about the new flying car that’s supposed to come out by the end of 2025? :p jk

Why wouldn’t they? Just because you can’t see your own worth doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It doesn’t mean other people think the same. Someday, someone will look at you and think how lucky they are to be with you. You can be in denial about that, but shove your denial up your a$$ because that’s going to happen BECAUSE YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME

Like i said, it's mostly a consequence of this format, i get access to enough time to properly formulate my thoughts. When i'm actually talking to people in real time i'm a complete stuttering mess (esp if it's in my native language where i gotta cross-translate phrases often to not be too much of a weirdo who can't even speak their native language). And yeah, it's very easy to lash out in frustration at anonymous strangers on the internet and it feels natural, which disappointingly makes it extremely common. Actually so many of our instinctive responses are so toxic which is quite frustrating honestly. Yeah i get that, like i said people engage with stuff on various levels with different priorities. For me gaming is like my primary hobby so i don't hesitate at all to spend money on it. Btw nintendo wasn't really a thing here so i never did get into any of their stuff. Only played pokemon crystal once back in high school on my phone (Cyndaquil is the most adorable starter ever i will fight for him) :3 Also i'm lowkey fake trans cause my fave eeveelution isn't Sylveon, it's Umbreon >_< I'm just hesitant to recommend Honkai games (or Genshin) since while they are f2p, they're also gacha which is just a complete mess and can bait people into spending insane amounts of money. You're safe googling, but there's an absurd amount of fanart for those games and if you search em up here or on twitter you're definitely likely to see some titties ^^ (i'm personally partial to KiaMei, Kafhime and Starch pairings :3) zzzzz... huh wait you were saying sth? :3 Idk, i don't think my stance is entirely baseless, i personally don't see any worth or value to speak of that i could contribute to a relationship really, and in my 30 years of life not a single person has ever expressed attraction towards me so i mean idk how else i'm supposed to interpret that. Not saying that to look for pity or anything, just being honest. As for the 'someday, someone', i acknowledge that anything can happen but i really don't have any actual faith in something like that happening. And tbf partially that's on me too, i can't expect a miracle without putting myself out there, but based on what i just said, you can see why it'd be hard to convince myself to actually do that when it feels completely pointless. And like i said, for friends it's a different story and i do have a few people that enjoy my existence to some degree and i consider us friends (tho honestly even that is a bit of a sore subject), so it's not like i'm *all* doom and gloom ^^

Getting Isekai'd for Dummies

Warnings: Language

Word count: 2.8k

Also, I don't own Genshin, nor PlayStation, nor the SAGAU concept as a whole

Chapter 2: Found Myself in Wonderland

You pace back and forth by the Mondstadt bridge, Sunsettia rind long discarded into the lake, polearm resting against the tree trunk. Biting your bottom lip, you hold a hand over your mouth, partially because you're in shock, partially because you're thinking.You try to think back to what happened before you got here; it was late, you were playing Genshin with Deo, then sparks started flying out of your PlayStation. Suddenly, next thing you know, you awoke on the edge of Dragonspine. Sure, it was fun to explore the lore and terrain of this world, that is, as an outsider looking in; however, now that you are actually in Teyvat, the reality of how dangerous a world it is sinks into the fibre of your very being. Do any of the game mechanics work here? If you die here, do you die for real? How does one build a life from a couple hundred mora, a Beginner's Protector, and pajamas? Is it possible to gain a vision? How long will you be stuck here? 

Before your internal meltdown can spiral anymore, you're interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching. Focusing your gaze, you recognize the three figures coming down the bridge, talking amongst themselves: Razor, Bennett, and Fischl. Your first instinct is to either run away or jump into the lake, but that would only guarantee their attention shifting onto you. Your body freezes up instead and your hand clenches into a fist at your side. Swallowing anxiously, you try to calm your breathing and stifle any noise you might make; hopefully they’re too absorbed in their conversation to even notice your presence. The seconds that pass as you wait for them to walk by seem to crawl on. As they draw closer, more details about them become clearer and you can hear their conversation, something about a past adventure. You notice that Oz is out and accompanying the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, and that he chimes into the conversation every so often. They’re almost upon you now and seem to be paying no mind to your being, and your tense muscles slowly start to relax. 

“Hm? Mein Fräulein.” A slight nod from the raven is made in your direction.The blonde girl turns her head in your direction and curiously looks you over. The boys with her, upon noticing her diverted attention, turn to look towards you as well. You close your eyes and click your tongue, sighing in despair; of course this would happen, just your luck. You open your eyes once more as the trio, no, quartet make their way over to you. They take their time to scrutinize your appearance, and you do the same; it’s weird seeing them in front of you and knowing that, here, they’re real. 

“I created another universe and founded paradise. For I, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, descend upon this land by the call of fate an- hmmmm. Have I perhaps made thy acquaintance in an era or realm previous? Thy countenance is familiar to an outlander such as myself.” While addressing you, Fischl goes about her usual theatrics and posing. Then, Bennett speaks up.

“Yeah! I feel like I’ve seen you before too! Kinda weird, don’t ya think? It feels like I know you, maybe we’ve gone on an adventure together in the past? Your name is on the tip of my tongue!” Razor nods along as Bennett strokes his chin in thought, sounding out certain syllables that eventually get closer to the start of your name. 

“Razor has seen you. Your scent, I know it.” 

You laugh awkwardly. “Me? You think I’m familiar? Maybe I just have one of those faces, you know. I’m from Fontaine, my name is, uh, (Y/N).” Your tone gets quieter at the end; you input your actual first name into the game in place of the Traveler’s. This seems to ring a bell in Bennett’s head as his green eyes light up. 

“Right! Your name is (Y/N)! I’m Bennett, the leader of Benny’s Adventure Team! We must’ve run into each other in the past or maybe even in a dream.”  He nods as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. "So, (Y/N), are ya headed into the city? You've been there before, right? Otherwise, I can't think of how else we would've run into each other." He scratches his head. 

"U-um, well, I mean, I've traveled around Mondstadt, but I don't think I've actually been in the city." You shrug and try to keep a reign of the cover story you're making for yourself. 

"Ah, then permit the ever generous and esteemed Prinzessin to guide you through her grandiose dwelling place in this distant realm." Fischl smiles and does her signature pose, her green eye gleaming. 

"Mein Fräulein is truly a gracious monarch." 

You nod and, without thinking, offer back, "Danke schön." To which you freeze up.

Fischl's eye widens for a moment, before she smiles brightly. "Bitte sehr! I see that you indeed are an outlander of the highest calibre, you who possesses the knowledge of the language of Mond." 

Sheepishly, you rub the back of your head. "Don't hold me to too high a standard, unfortunately I only retained a few common words and phrases; definitely not enough to make conversation."

“Well, it’s still really cool! I’ve always wanted to learn a different language, but I wouldn’t really have anywhere to use it, I rarely leave Monstadt nowadays.” Bennett scratches the back of his head. Razor and Fischl nod along.

“Tis a rather unfortunate fate that our pilgrimage only leads us as far as Dragonspine, Stormterror’s Lair, and Stormbearer Point.” The archer sighs and shakes her head. 

This confuses you, because Razor was on your team when you first started exploring Liyue, and you bring Bennett almost everywhere with you, even now. You’re very empathetic to Bennett’s stroke of bad luck because you too suffer from pretty bad luck. “Yeah, that must really suck. I’m sorry y’all.” You frown, now thinking about the differences of this instance as compared to your own playthrough of Genshin. 

Sensing the somber mood now, Bennett perks up again. “Well, I’m sure we’ll get a chance to travel again soon! Let’s get headed to the city for now, though! You’re probably gonna want some supplies and a place to stay, right?” The others perk up again as well.

With a humf, Fischl points towards the city, “Prepare thyself, (Y/N), for the most spectacular jaunt one could ever take part in.” A second later, Oz chimes in, “What mein Fräulein means to say is that she is ready to start the tour whenever you are.”

You nod and turn to grab your polearm, then follow behind the quartet and down the bridge and towards the city, scarring off Timmie’s pigeons and snickering lightly to yourself as he whines. You look at the backs of the three in front of you and accidentally tune out their commentary as you get distracted, thinking now about the game mechanics and UI, wondering if you’re able to access it here. And, as if by game logic, your polearm disappears from your hand in that familiar gold glitter and takes its place somewhere in time-space. You think about what you should have in your inventory so far, which is a couple hundred mora and that polearm, and come to the conclusion that you should check in with Katheryne to see if you can get signed up in the Adventurers’ Guild; after all, you don't know how long you'll be in this world, so you should try make your stay as comfortable as possible, which requires mora. 

You all pass the front guards, Lawrence and Swan if you remember correctly, and they glance at you in suspicion, but relax a bit as they see the party you're with. You tune in as Fischl points off to the left, over to Mondstadt's local blacksmith, Wagner. He looks as busy as ever, forging what he will, the distinct sound of the hammer hitting iron filling the immediate area. His apprentice, Schulz, stands behind him, watching him work. 

“Thataway you will discover the Prinzessin’s favored smith in these distant lands, the iron tough Wagner. Whether under the heavens’ gaze or their teardrops like sorrow, he is accountable to forge whatever one might need for their adventures. If thou art ever in need of a weapon suiting thy caliber, Wagner is sure to be qualified to produce it.” 

“I’ll be sure to pay him a visit when I earn some Mora. Unfortunately for me, I slept too close to the water and my things got swept away with the tide. I found what I have now inside an old chest.” You awkwardly scratch the back of your neck and Bennett finds himself nodding in solidarity of your supposed misfortune. You feel bad for lying to them, but it’s necessary if you don’t want to find yourself ostracized in the best case scenario, or impaled upon a polearm worst case scenario. 

“Well, the three of us are actually pretty active in the Adventurers’ Guild here; Fischl’s even an investigator for the guild. We’re always recruiting new adventurers, so I’m sure Cyrus wouldn’t mind. Ya know what? The Guild’s receptionist, Katheryne, is actually right up those steps over there, so we can go talk to her and get you signed up. That way you can make enough Mora to get yourself back on your feet. My adventure team actually just happens to have a vacancy at the moment if you were interested in going around with us!” Bennett points out the brown haired woman.

“Yeah, that’d be great, if you don’t mind,” you respond with just as much enthusiasm and you all make your way up the steps to talk to the bionic puppet. 

“Ad astra abyssosque! Welcome to the Adventurers’ Guild.” Katheryne gives her signature greeting and you take a moment to gaze upon her in all her wonder. Meanwhile, Bennett and Fischl talk to her about getting you signed up for the Guild. “Unfortunately, your request can not be completed here, (Y/N).”

Confusion colors not only your face, but the faces of your new comrades as well. “W-what do you mean by that, Katheryne?” You can’t think of a time in-game when you were unable to speak to Katheryne.

“I’m sorry, but I am unable to provide further assistance.”

Bennett and Fischl finish up whatever business they have with the receptionist and you all continue on your walk through the city. “Man, I’m sorry (Y/N), I really don’t know what that was all about. Why wouldn’t Katheryne be able to sign you up for the Guild? I mean, the Traveler was able to sign up and he’s not even from Teyvat.”

You awkwardly cough into your fist at the last part of that statement. “Well, I don’t know, maybe there was some issue for some reason. But, it’s ok! I can still probably still collect random little things from adventuring with you guys that I can use, no problem.” You wave your hands back and forth to assure them that it’s no issue. “Um, should we continue with the tour?” You ask, eager to move on from that situation. 

“Fantastic idea dear compatriot.” With that, you all resume your prior activity and the two more outspoken members of the group introduce you to Flora, the flower peddler, and Donna; the latter of whom you absolutely can’t stand. Upon hearing that familiar sigh before her trademark catchphrase, you promptly walk off in the direction of Angel’s Share; the others in your group are quick to follow. 

“(Y/N) okay?” Razor is quick to pick up on your annoyance as he strides up next to you.

“Huh? Oh, yeah, I’m … fine. Sometimes, certain types of people have a habit of tiring me out very quickly. It seems that Donna is the sort.” You grumble and shake your head.

“Mm, Razor same.” He nods and you turn to him and smile, knowing he’s more comfortable in the wild, than in the city.

“You’re a good friend Razor, I promise that one day I’m gonna make a feast for y’all with all the meat you can eat!” 

“Mmmm I like meat. Meat gives energy to be strong!”

As you guys arrive at Angel’s Share, you check the billboard outside and see that it still has a missing person’s poster for the Traveler’s twin, however something about it strikes you as odd. The twin that it’s describing is Lumine. In your game, the twin you picked was Lumine. Bennett also referred to the Traveler as a “he” earlier, which means he meant Aether. So, this must mean that you are not in your own version of Genshin, which might explain the whole mixup with Katheryne. 

“This is Angel’s Share, one of Mondstadt’s local taverns. The tavern is funded and stocked by Dawn Winery. They serve some good non-alcoholic drinks as well.” Bennett informs you as he holds the door open for you all. You all take seats at the bar and Charles, the bartender, hands you a menu. Looking at the prices of the drinks, you slowly slide the menu back to Charles.

“Yeah, I actually visited Dawn Winery on my way here. It’s beautiful and there seems to be an abundance of crystalflies hanging around, which only adds to the atmosphere.”

“Hark! Praise the Prinzessin for her generosity as I provide drinks for this festive occasion! Enlighten the barman with your preferred beverage.” With her usual flourish, Fischl comes to your aid by offering to buy your drink. 

“My my, mein Fräulein, what a joyous occasion indeed. Glory be to the Prinzessin der Verurteilung. This is quite the wise way to spend the bonus you received on your recent commissions.” 

“Oz, hush.” 

“Thank you so much Fischl, this means a lot to me. How lucky I am to be treated favorably by the esteemed Prinzessin.” You smile gratefully at her and she blushes slightly, clearing her throat and shooing you with a hand.

“Yes, yes, quite the fortunate individual, undeniably.”

Turning to Charles, you tell him your order, "I heard that the Apple Cider that the Dawn Winery makes is fantastic, so I'll have a glass of that please!" In turn, Bennett orders a cider as well, Razor gets some Wolfhook Juice, and Fischl asks for a Mint Berry Burst. 

You all take some time, chatting about likes and dislikes, the people of Mond, and the land’s history. They tell you about the Knights of Favonius and how they differ from the Adventurers’ Guild. The topic even drifts to the Anemo Archon. “Ah, yes, I actually know quite a bit about the God of Freedom. It’s, um, a hobby of mine to research things regarding the Seven, I guess you could say.”

“We’re actually all friends with a girl at the cathedral, her name is Barbara. She probably knows a whole lot about the Anemo Archon. In fact, we can go visit her later on, if you want?” Bennett chimes in.

“Yeah, that’d be great. I’ve always admired the whole ideal of freedom that Barbatos represents; I’m much a free-spirit myself.” You take a sip of your drink and enjoy the refreshing coolness that it brings. 

Finishing your drinks, Fischl pays for them, and you all head back out, the destination this time being the city’s main plaza. They show you to The Good Hunter and the general goods store, as well as the alchemy bench, where you chat with Timaeus for a bit. Then, they show you where the Knights’ Headquarters is, and talk to you about Jean, Lisa, and Klee. You all stop by the Adventurers’ Guild and meet some of Bennett’s dads. Finally, your group makes its way up to the cathedral. As you climb up the stairs, you’re not surprised to see the grand statue of Barbatos. However, what you are surprised to see is another statue situated in the cathedral’s plaza. This statue has many offerings left around its base, looking like they’ve been left fairly recently. As you approach this other statue, Fischl chimes up behind you.

“Gaze thine eyes upon the magnificent likeness that has been crafted of our omnipotent Creator. A fortunate some allogenes have even bore witness to Their power running through their very beings, as we three have had the blessed connection ourselves. Though, none have stronger a connection than the Traveler and Their Excellency.” 

You tune everything out once more as a startling revelation makes itself known. Not only have you been somehow transported to the land of Teyvat, but, more specifically, a version of Teyvat that worships Deo as their apparent progenitor. The likeness of that statue is one you’ve seen before, in that of your very own best friend.

↳ ❝ ahoy there! ❞ | #thoma headcanons ; normal + modern au.

thoma w/ chubby cheeks? his fav petnames?? simp rambling??? & more!

ft. gn reader, the kamisato siblings, +1 bonus childe.

cw: none! completely sfw. only cringe romantic scenerios & maybe lots of mentions of kisses because i'm in love w/ him.

♡. edit: the link to the tiktok i added to the last headcanon (normal au) got deleted oh my god 😭

an: thoma go brrr. had to squeeze my brain like a powdered orange just so i could make this coherent enough to post.

i also wanna apologize if i've written some things that are suspiciously familiar to other works before. i only just noticed. i swear i don't know how it happens!! i've just never had an original thought i think _( ༎ຶ⌑༎ຶゝ∠)_ please forgive my sins.

pics: 🐶 🍡 🌿 (fun fact: the shiba's name is marutaro!!)

NORMAL AU!

we are married.

please consider... thoma with chubby cheeks.

irresistibly cute and soft.

ge ntly h olds... 🤲

the grannies at the market like to pull on them from time to time whenever he goes for groceries.

by the end of those days, he'd come home whining with aching cheeks.

"whining" i.e asking you for healing kisses? 🥺👉👈

he does not know how to swear.

thoma: "gee wilikers...", "oh to heck with it!", "gosh diddly darn it!"

ayato, tears in his eyes: pls,,, ju,,st say fuck,,

"he's a grown man with a job and pays taxes" ok maybe he does and just chooses not to BUT listen—

he says bejeebers in one of his voicelines 😭😭😭.

a cheesy romantic, the type to greet you with hand kisses. however ☝️👀

turn the tables and kiss his hands and he'll be reduced to mush.

secretly it's actually one of his favorite places for smooches. such hardworking hands, they deserve all the loving, don't they?

speaking of favorites, his favorite nicknames!

pretty boy, my prince, handsome — casually, politely, LOVINGLY he will pass away.

to be fair, he's a sucker for any sort of praise you give him but something about being called those just makes him feel so special.

BECAUSE HE IS. MUMUMU BESO MUUUWAH—

he makes me feel so soft and happy, he's like the song 'cloud 9' but personified.

this goes with any genshin character, but i'm a thoma simp. just,,, p,, please just imagine.

let me tell you, as a short person, i started screaming. rolled around my bed even, clutched my phone to my chest. at this age of mine. absolutely no shame, embarrassing ✋.

MODERN AU!

modern! thoma would probably enjoy the waitress musical.

his fav songs are 'what baking can do' and 'you matter to me.'

cried the first time he listened to the latter. cried again the next time he listened to it. they... were emotional days 😔.

enjoys musicals in general.

thoma/kamisato siblings theater kids canon i'm the left shoe of one of hyv's soundtrack artists.

he likes listening to them whenever he does chores and ends up singing along when he gets really into it.

doesn't really have the best singing voice, but he doesn't care. all that matters is that he's having fun 💪 king mentality.

and if you, as his s/o, decide to sing along with him ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A LOVE SONG DUET— shee, he just might propose to you then and there.

idk why but i feel like he'd be a swiftie. loves almost every one of her songs but lives for her 2010 era songs. gets so hyped for sparks fly.

his favorite animal crossing character is goldie and i will die on that.

i think he'd be a horror fan. specifically for spooky folklores and cryptids.

(based on that one voiceline of his - thoma's hobbies. also occasionally, he'll utter 'spooky stories...' if he's in your teapot.)

his youtube feed reccomends stuff like 'creepy urban legends from around the world' or 'inazuma's terrifying monster stories.'

when he's not in the mood to listen to music, he lets those vids play in the background instead.

thoma just vibing in his apron and cleaning gloves, waxing and polishing the floor with earphones in, listening to horror podcasts.

he is ANNOYING if he ever gets in a playful mood before going to bed.

both of you could just be peacefully cuddling, innocently talking about whatever until you fall asleep when he'll suddenly bring up a scary story he just learned. and as a result, ends up scaring you a bit.

too creeped to sleep now, you give his chest a soft smack, whining his name.

but then he just laughs! 😡 he's quick to apologize, but he's still laughing!!

as if pulling you in closer against himself, burying your face in his neck, and nuzzling into you will easily let that slide — nah, scoot away from his mean ass. ignore how he whines for you to come back.

he rolls across the bed and follows you. immediately wraps himself around you once he reaches where you placed yourself by the edge.

"noo, 'm sorry." he mumbles, lips brushing against your skin, you could feel him smile. "i'm sorry."

he sighs then plants a kiss against your temple. "here. this way no monsters will get you."

like an inconvenienced cat, you huff, burying your face into his chest. "cringe."

...

you turn back up and quickly press a kiss on his collarbone, before shoving your face back to where it hid.

ok but on the topic of the waitress musical, 'never ever getting rid of me' gives me huge childe vibes.

sorry if this ain't much, i'm fighting demons (ง｡•╭╮•｡)ง​ plus school just started.

Who would dance with you at a festival

✧♬•*¨*•.｡

Ayo! basically i was listening to this amazing song from Rapunzel and then i thought about it.

Which Genshin Impact characters would dance with their s/o to this song (like, there's a famous festival in monstadt/liyue/inazuma and everyone came, and then this music begins to be played), in my opinion.

TW :

gn!neutral reader/the gender of reader isn't mentionned <3 (this is my first time doing it)

an : English isn't my first language so it may have some mistakes. Also, enjoy those cutes headcanons <3

Fandom : Genshin Impact

🌺 Fluff

—MONSTADT

Bennett–

he's the one who asked for this song, just because he wanted to have fun with you. He took your arm and pulled you towards the middle of the square, a big smile covering his face. This poor unlucky boy fell at least three times during the whole dance but everything's fine since you're by his sides. He couldn't help the feeling of pure joy inside his heart, he's so happy to be with you <3

Kaeya –

this man just saw an occasion to steal you some kisses to be honest. He asked you "may I have a dance" with THAT smirk on his face, like if you were going to do a real waltz or sum. He knew what he was doing heh. You just spent the whole time blushing like a mess and he just smiled because of that (this little-)

Diluc –

listen to me. Yeah, I know this man has his pride and all, but for you, he would do anything. When you ask him, he is like "No, I won't dance like an idiot with everyone looking at me" but heh. You just have to look at him with your puppy eyes and he'll melt and say "ok, I guess I'll dance" while blushing a little. At the beginning, he was a bit shy, but seeing you all happy made him smile a little (just a little. You know, his pride)

Venti –

to be honest, this guy jumped immediately off the bench and took your arm with a bright smile, he almost made you fly with his winds and started dancing with you all around the place. He almost didn't let you breath lol. At the end of the song, he took your hand and your waist, then he lifted you high in the sky, above everyone else, stroking your cheeks with his tumbs and pulling you in a huge embrace <3

Amber –

she wasn't able to come to the festival because she had a mission at this time :(( she was so disappointed that she couldn't be with you this day, so she asked you to dance with her at home, one week later. The only song you could remember was the last one, so you started humming it and she started spinning all around the room for an hour <3

–LIYUE

Childe –

i'll make it quick, this guy don't know how to dance, after all he can't be good at everything. BUT, he's so stubborn and will wanna dance with you at all costs. And even if all he was doing was falling and doing weird.. things (because he wants to win against you?? this guy seriously), he was enjoying this moment a lot, looking at you smiling and... making fun of him <3

Hu Tao –

at first, she wanted to prank you but when she saw you smiling at her, she decided to just have fun with you. And you had a lot of fun! She even kissed your cheek (just to make you flustered lol)

–INAZUMA

Thomas –

he just does anything he can do with you, he'll never loose an occasion to have fun with you and seeing you happy. He isn't the best dancer, but he just wanna see you smiling so he's gonna put his soul in this moment to make you spin and spin like you were the love of his life (you are), as his heart melt because of you, laughing of hapiness

Yoimiya –

once she finished to prepare the fireworks for the festival, she ran to you and pulled you in a hug. After that, she took both of your hands, smiled at you, and started making little jumps, like if she was asking you to dance with her on the catchy, amazing music played at this moment, and you could do nothing but agree. She smiled and giggled a lot that day, at least as much as you <3

Kazuha –

dancing is not is biggest talent, like he's much more into playing music than dancing on it, but he thought that you would love to dance with him so he tried this time. And gosh, this guy is so graceful, everyone was mesmerized by every movements he made. But he couldn't care less about other people, all the ever cared about was you. He spent the afternoon telling you how beautiful you were and how much he loved seeing you dancing :)

Hope you enjoyed it! Sorry if it's repetitive, but i don't have much english vocabulary so it was kinda hard to find my words :(

If you have any suggestions about headcanons, drabble, one shot or else, about genshin impact, haikyuu, jjk, etc just let me know! Maybe i will be able to write something lol

Kiss <3
