Pearl rerun is here! Build guide
Hello all! The queen is finally back. Pearl is the dendro archon and a polearm character. I know you've been waiting for this, I know I have... her c1r1 will be mine! [ScottSmug]
I've decided to put together a guide now for new players and old, as her kit is really unique and one of the best future-proof archons to pull. I'll also offer some perspective on her weapon, because I've seen some doubt about it in the community. [PearlBAMF]
✦✦✦ Breakdown ✦✦✦
Pearl is a 5* limited dendro support and healer who benefits most reaction based team comps as her passive enhances damage specifically for all types of bloom and catalyze reactions. Her kit is a bit wordy, so I'll so my best to explain and clarify what she does.
She's super future proof, and has stood the test of time as one of the best dendro supports. You won't find many premiere dendro team comps without her. Her weapon is great for any HP scaling polearm, which we're expecting when the hydro nation Ghrelian finally releases next year, if leaks are to be believed.
✦✦✦ Explaining the kit ✦✦✦
◇ Basic Attack: Three Strikes
Does three consecutive strikes with the polearm. Nothing special.
◇ (E) Skill: Dirge of Earth
Creates a Tumor of Forbidden Knowledge. The tumor will continue to deal dendro damage both to party members and enemies, though less to allies than enemies. Three charges with a 1 second cooldown in between the charges.
◇ (Q) Burst: Relief in the Soil
Burst healing. Takes into account all the damage taken by the Tumors and by enemies, and enters the Purification state. The Tumors explode, dealing massive dendro damage to enemies and healing a massive amount to allies. 50% of that healing will be applied to party members.
◇ Passives
Controlled Burn: Any reaction done by party members while tumors are on field is increased by 400% of Pearl's HP.
Grace of Nature: Damage to party members from Tumors is reduced.
Hands in the Earth: Increases the amount of certain local specialties gotten when Pearl collects them.
✦✦✦ Constellations ✦✦✦
C1: Converts 1% of Pearl's Max HP into EM while skill is active.
C2: During Pearl's burst, an additional 25% of healing will be applied over time to the party.
C4: Burst damage ignores dendro RES.
C6: Increases the rate at which Withering accumulates, meaning more damage and more healing.
Shockingly, Pearl's C6 is not great unless you need faster rotations. I'd say C1>C4>C2>C6.
✦✦✦ Ascension & Talent Materials ✦✦✦
◇ Nagadus Emerald
Dropped by her boss.
◇ Drops: Rangers
Found exclusively in Perija, and in tight clusters mostly around the sanctum. Check the map for ideal farming routes. You will need:
Rotten badge x18
Worn insignia x30
High clearance pass x36
◇ First Bud of Spring
First Bud of Spring can be claimed by defeating the Young Hatchling in Perija. You'll need x46.
◇ Glow Lichen
Pearl's local specialty. You will need x168. Ideal farming route is hitting up each labyrinth and just following the path. Should get plenty that way. If you haven't done the Hidden Greenhouse world quest, there's some in the cave by the border of Ention.
◇ Forgiveness Talent Books
Perija talent domains on Tues/Thurs/Sun.
◇ Mirror Shard from the Sleeping Beast Beneath the Arena weekly boss
Should be able to quick access it even if you haven't done the Pearl story quest!
✦✦✦ Artifacts & Stats ✦✦✦
2pc Seven Days and 2pc Legionnaire for the double HP bonus is fine, since that's the main stat you want to focus on for Pearl. But if you want to farm the Farmer's Piety/Thorny Dreams domain, be my guest, lol. Farmer's Piety is technically Pearl's intended set, as it gives an HP bonus at 2pc, and increases outgoing healing while off-field. But that domain seriously sucks, and Thorny Dreams is a really niche set.
Sands: HP
Goblet: HP/Dendro dmg bonus (if you hit 60k HP without the goblet, go with dendro dmg bonus)
Circlet: HP
Substat priority: Go for ER until you hit the goal, and then invest in EM
ER goal: 140%
✦✦✦ Weapons ✦✦✦
Pearl's signature weapon, in my opinion, is a GREAT weapon. A lot of people see the description and get a bit turned off by it, but trust me it's great. At R1, "When the wielder is switched on-field, decreases movement speed for 2 seconds and increases stamina consumption. After the 2 seconds is over, heals the party for 14% of damage taken and gives the on-field character an elemental burst DMG bonus of 22%." This is great even if you're using this to buff the next character to switch in. Getting Pearl in, using her three tumors, then switching off to someone to do their burst, does massive damage.
Other options is Asclepius if you have it, or Sidepiercer, alternatively. Requires you to invest a bit more in the HP artifacts department, though.
✦✦✦ Talent Priority ✦✦✦
Skill = Burst >>>>>> Basic Attack
Do NOT level her basic attack. You don't want to ever use it basically. Skill and Burst are equally important. A conservative level plan is 1/8/8 or 1/9/9. But give her the double crown. You will not regret it.
✦✦✦ Team Comps ✦✦✦
Literally any dendro reaction team.
Hyperbloom Premium Team: Pearl, Sausage, Docm, and a flex dendro or electro battery. Does massive damage with very little investment.
Washed Up: Basically the Gudemorder hyperbloom team but replace Etho with Pearl, lol. Pearl, Cleo, Bdubs, and Joe or Oli.
Girls KILL: Burgeon team with Katherine, Lizzie, Shrub and Pearl. This one doesn't have the beeeeest synergy? Shrub and Lizzie both want a good amount of on-field time. But they were so cute in the summer event last year, OK, and I cleared abyss with this team so let me have it. It works.
If leaks are to be believed, WRA hyperbloom team is going to be viable. Here's hoping Gem's kit doesn't get changed too much in beta.
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
That's all! Let me know if you have any questions, or if you want me to rate your builds or anything. I'm thinking of doing an archon series in general, because it could be fun to look how the game has evolved like that. All Pearl wanters shall be Pearl havers! Amen!

Scary as a sleepy kitten
Tumblr media
When - 10 or so minutes after He hasn't been himself, which takes place during the Chupacabra episode of Season 2
What - the finishing touches on Daryl's medical care, how Andrea's handling almost mistakenly killing the guy. You assure her that he's about as scary as a sleepy kitten right then. Then, there's digesting big bro Shane's descent from morality along with Daryl's simultaneous growth in it. Bonus is a hint regarding the Greene's barn. So sad there aren't any barn cats in there anymore, wonder what happened...
Genre - a little angsty, a little fluffy, a little found-family.
Who - You, Mangy Hick (that's Daryl), Patricia, Andrea, Papa Dale and his not good book, and sweet little Beth (who's got the same headcanon from the Fabulously Confident Reader stories about liking choose-your-own-adventure books)
Perspective - 2nd person, and 3rd Daryl
Pronouns - did GN again this time
TWs - some language, otherwise you just have a brief blow-up. The day's been something else, y'all
Length? - 10-15 minutes
References - when Daryl made that funny in Like a traditional Sunday dinner, the incident with Ed as seen in "Deserved" Part 1 but mostly Part 2 and its cooldown in It's not the end of the wo - oh. There's the continuation of big brother Shane's descent, a slow progression in a bulk of the chapters. Be sure to check out Invisible Tugging Strings, Part 1 and Part 2 , then Spell your last name, please. as well as He hasn't been himself
Official Masterlist here (find fabulously confident reader there!) and the Chronological Slowpoke Masterlist here
have fun and happy reading!
Apologies for the lengthy delay, slowpokes, my brain has been on power-saver for about a month, might could be evident in the chapter, too XD
...........................................
“Guess I'll just move this arm like a robot—oh-ho, check it, I can still do the tomahawk chop, y’all!”
And yeah, then his friend proceeds to make barely one and a half chops before wincing. The slight pout that forms afterward makes him want to smile, it’s damn cute.
“Hurt more than I thought it would.”
The twangy blonde lady looks entertained. “Tell me why, Y/N.”
Their pout turns more embarrassed. “…Movin’ the forearm requires these here muscles.”
He liked that their accent revved up more with the blonde lady—sorry, her name’s Patricia, he knows, got it.
“Which affects what?” Patricia asks.
“My shoulder and chest.”
“Which are injured and got irritated something serious today, along with what I’m fairly sure is maybe your C6 and 7, maybe the T1, whenever you first got hurt.”
“Yes, ma’am,” they mumble.
Stop thinking Y/N looks cute. Also, what were those letter-number things?
Sighing, his friend stares at their upper arm.
So, during the, like, he doesn’t know, 5 minutes or whatever it was when the old man helped him slump to the bathroom so he could finally take a piss, Y/N’s upper arm was wrapped to their torso to prevent them from hurting it more. They keep overdoing it, and they keep taking their damn sling off, so Patricia made a compromise, he guesses.
And after doing a modeling-pose type thing with their wrapped arm and asking who was wearing their gauze better, them or him, Y/N immediately tried to do the tomahawk chop and move like a robot and why is he finding that so damn cute right now?.
Patricia winks at Y/N. “Name some of the muscles up there and I won’t put the rest in a sling."
You
“Ooh, bicep, tricep,” basics out of the way. “This, um, one of these over here is the brachialis, this is the deltoid, the teres major’s under here.” You got that muscle wrong on an anatomy midterm back during college and never forgot about it. “This here is the trapezius.” Because the dudes who do the trapeze at the circus got real big ones (or at least that’s how you remember it). “And, well, the clavicle is this bone, so the bone under it is the scapula, which means right about here’s the subscapularis muscle,” that she said you may have hurt, “Oh, duh, then ‘the major one is the pectoralis.’ And—”
“—Okay, no sling.”
Phew. “Thank you!”
“For now, anyway. Meanwhile, Hersh is givin’ me a look, let’s get to cleaning our friend, here.”
Him
The funny part is, as Patricia left, she made a face and said, “I don’t remember most of the muscle or bone names, I just took Y/N's word for it. Now, Daryl, don’t go gettin’ out of bed, stay put.”
Now he’s finally laying down, nothing else to be done to him. He’s so damn tired.
He’s scrubbed up, too. Got a big-ass bandage over his head, wrapped all around. That was a trip; Patricia and Y/N washed his head and neck over a bowl. He counted the seconds til it was over, half-listened to whatever they were chatting about to distract himself.
Once he was bound up like a cartoon character and given instruction to not get it wet, Hershel came back and walked him to the bathroom again, this time to clean everything else off.
There was a little stool thing in the shower, with the shower hose on the ground instead of hanging. “Don’t get your head or the bandage wet. There's a waterproof cover over the dressing on your side that you'll have to remove when you're finished. Now, I imagine you prefer total privacy, but if you need the help, I can assist, or I can get your friend Theodore, if your prefer.”
“M’fine.”
The simple response “I’ll be outside the door, Daryl,” surprised him. Made him feel stupid and ashamed and comforted all at the same time.
And he…he needed the damn help. Ain’t like the old guy hadn’t seen his back already, anyway.
Still, the old man mostly stayed behind the shower curtain at his request, and he didn’t see his junk or nothing, Daryl made sure to keep himself covered.
Part of him felt like some pathetic little cat getting a flea bath.
Today was something else.
So goddamned tired…
You
Not 15 minutes went by since he was escorted to the washroom and now he’s fast asleep under the sheets.
Lori and you stayed inside with Carl (and Daryl), and Carol and Rick brought in plates of food into the house for the four of you.
Carol cooked up some jerky with an egg for Daryl as a special treat with the rest of his meal. Menu for tonight is peanut butter sandwiches (sort of, they’re on saltines), hard-boiled eggs (not soft-boiled, you checked this time), with sauteed field greens.
Your poor friend must be ravenous, but it looks like tiredness won this round. He looks so different asleep. Sweet, even. It's silly, but his light snores almost sound like purring and now you're thinking about kittens.
Another moment in the quiet, and you figure you shouldn’t stand there like a weirdo anymore.
Well, his egg and the peanut butter sandwiches will keep until he wakes up, and the jerky and egg will taste great either way, but his portion of sauteed field greens won’t be nice cold. You’re only a little bummed when you slide your portion of little sandwiches onto his plate and take his portion of greens. He’s earned extra treats, he can have all the peanut butter he wants after what he found today.
You inhale deeply. Exhale slowly. Close your eyes and ask inwardly for help after offering more thanks that he came back alive, and found concrete proof of Sophia.
It’s nice to be in the quiet. It feels safer better to be away from Shane right now, too. You aren’t sure what you’re going to do about the sleeping situation other than tell your brother to set up his own tent.
You also take one of the cracker sandwiches, it’s been a rough day. But when you start to nibble on it…your appetite is gone. Which is so dumb, dude, you’d been stoked at the thought of chowing down when you were high on Daryl being okay and having found Sophia’s doll.
Daryl’s chest rises and falls. You listen to his light snores, and find it, as Amy would’ve said, “interesting,” (but understandable) that your stomach has a few butterflies at seeing him so peaceful and still.
You miss Amy. Which prompts you to consider that you should check on Andrea. Earlier, Dale had come in and asked a bunch of questions for her because she was too ashamed to see people. From wherever she is right now, Amy is probably hoping you’ll help comfort her big sister.
Patricia stops you before you exit the house through the side-door. “Been meanin' to ask, I heard you tell your brother to get out, earlier. Everythin’ okay?”
That question was unexpected, words aren’t working for you. You shake and nod at the same time, which is weird, so, you open your mouth to fix it, but nothing formulates.
After a second try, all you can stumble through is “I don’t know, ma’am,” before ungracefully scooting outside.
Tumblr media
After 5 minutes of polite conversation on the steps, mainly between you and Dale regarding Daryl’s status, Andrea is still dumbfounded that she’d almost killed someone.
“He’s really okay?”
“He’s bandaged and resting now. You only winged him, but the falls he took earlier did the most damage, Andy.” You’re trying not to be angry with her, but failing. Which sucks, because you know she was trying to protect the group…
But that she still shot it even though it was against Mr. Greene’s wishes and she knew that indicates an unhealthy variety of pride. One can't be having that kind of attitude with a firearm, it ain't good. And Daryl was almost a casualty because of it.
And like, come on, there were five of you running toward her target, it was dangerous for her to attempt to shoot from that angle! Doesn’t she understand that’s irrespons—ugh, and isn’t Shane supposed to have been doing gun safety shit with her? Isn’t that his whole wannabe jarhead schtick—great, now you’re more upset about Shane!
“I’m glad you’re enjoying those, ” Dale tells you, nodding at your cracker and chuckling. “They’re the part of dinner I rushed to help make, this evening was…something.”
He shrugs, and you remember how Daryl grunted that today was ‘somethin’ else.’
“I suppose having spread the peanut butter on crackers was a small step up from offering it on spoons to everyone,” he muses.
You can’t help but hum, a spoonful of peanut butter sounds scrumptious right now. Makes a good breakfast or snack, too.
“Did Daryl eat enough?” Andrea worries. “Does he need anything?”
“He was asleep when I brought him his supper, but I left my portion of the crackers—minus this one—on his plate.”
“Come to think of it, I’m not sure he’s a fan of peanut butter,” Dale thinks out loud. “I offered him some for breakfast one morning, and now that I recall, he backed away from it.”
Not like peanut butter?
“—Oh my God, what if he’s he allergic?” Andrea breathes.
“Nah, he ate a peanut yesterday. I was havin’ one of the little packets for lunch and he tried one, he can’t be allergic,” you assure them. And surely he doesn’t not like peanuts. That would be so sad!
It gets quiet.
Andrea stares at her feet.
“I can’t believe almost killed him.” She inhales and buries her face in her hands. “I shot someone.”
And Dale is only meaning to ease her discomfort and add some levity—but whether it’s because of the new bond you have with Daryl, or maybe because here’s something of a flashback hitting you from how you’d had to actually shoot a living person a few months ago—when Dale jokes to you, “Like I told her, we’ve all wanted to shoot Daryl,” you become livid.
After two shallow breaths of your inner tea kettle screaming, this sentence: “Guess y’all will want sunshine over here to work on her aim, then,” seethes out as you stand and book it to the fields.
The past several days especially has shown you how wrong your initial conclusions about that man were. He’s a work-in-progress, make no mistake, but shit if he ain’t working on it!
Unlike your brother, who keeps getting worse, who just tried to flirt with Lori by saying he didn’t care about a missing, abused little girl—the same little girl Daryl was willing to almost die to find!
Horrified at Shane and about today; confused, embarrassed, overwhelmed, in pain, overtired, and therefore angry about everything, you walk, hyperventilate, and finally, quietly, start to cry.
Then you accidentally drop the peanut butter cracker and cry harder.
The light swish of your boots in the grass starts to crunch when you reach the sandy part by now-boarded-up well. You walk faster, neither wanting to be near the two-part walker inside nor in the area where apparently, Daryl dumped Merle’s ‘hard stuff,’ as he slurred to you earlier during his trauma assessment.
Soon you’re by the rocks you’d climbed the other night. You step up and sit on a lower one and sniffle another minute or so until the worst of it seems to have spilled out.
When will you get a better handle on your temper?
While you’re busy wallowing in self-pity, you notice Dale’s watch ticking and are reminded that you have to return it.
You stand.
Trudge back with your tail between your legs.
He and Andrea are still on the steps.
“I’m sorry. I let my anger get the better of me,” you tell them softly.
Dale waves you over. “Come back and sit if you like, kiddo. It’s been a long day.”
“It’s been somethin’,” you mumble. “And you aren’t a bad shot, Andrea, I was being snotty.” About an inch to your left and he’d have been a goner, you leave out.
“I’m glad I wasn’t as good a shot as I’d hoped,” she sounds ashamed to say. Her head is still hanging low when she makes a one-sided smile and taps the spot next to her. “Will you be helping with shooting practice tomorrow?”
“If that’s still on, yeah.” Shane was enlisting your help with that, which means you’ll have to act civil…ugh, why worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself. You take the watch off, hand it to Dale. “Here you go, Mr. H.”
Tumblr media
“Ah, very good. I would hate to start losing track of the days, then we’d really be in for it. Let’s see…an hour until it’s time to wind her up.”
The breeze carries the smell of woodsmoke with it. You lean against Andrea for a moment, she leans back.
Then Shane comes into view.
When you catch his eye, you shake your head in warning in case he’s thinking about coming over and schmoozing with the others as if he didn’t just f—tomorrow will be better. Things will be better in the morning. He’ll apologize and things will be better and you’ll all have a good day and maybe Sophia will be found.
“Y/N, how about we talk later tonight?” Dale murmurs.
Did he see the face you made at Shane?
Best change the subject. “If we do, is it finally my turn to borrow that awful book I’ve heard so much about?”
“The Case of the Missing Man is not an awful book,” he chuckles back, then shrugs. “Maybe Jimmie Herron’s style isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. My Irma didn’t like his work, either.”
“Y/N, it’s really not great,” Andrea drones.
“Glenn said the same.”
“Amy had me read it so we could, um,” her gaze grows teary. She closes her eyes for a moment, then smiles and shakes her head. “‘Share the trauma.’”
You smile and shake your head, too. That sounds like Amy. “She finished it up in my tent while I was knocked out with a migraine, first thing out of her mouth to me when I woke up was how lame it was. Told me you had first dibs.”
“Then I lent it to T-Dog”
Oh, right. On the first half-week of the trek to Fort Benning, his nose was stuck in it. “He plowed on through it, didn’t he?”
“He wanted the torture to be over.”
You and she snort, Dale just chuckles again. “After you finish it, only Rick, and our young Carl—oh, and, uh your br—and Shane, they’ll be the only ones to not have done so.” He points his finger as if an idea just popped into his head. “But both Jacqui and Lori thought it was good.”
“Bless their hearts, they loved watching soaps, though, what does that tell us?” you giggle to them.
Dale lifts his hands in surrender. “See me later, troublemaker, I’ll lend you my ‘awful’ book and we can talk. I’m gonna hold you to it.” He looks at Andrea. “Young lady, will you be alright?”
“Yes. I'm just not ready to face anyone yet.”
“You know where to find me.”
She rests her arms on her knees and slouches again, stare fixed on nothing much. You go to rest your arms on your knees, too, and are immediately reminded that that particular position is a no-go for you right now.
“Y/N, after what happened with Ed, when did the feeling of wanting to hide go away?”
“Mine was an easier situation," you quietly point out. "And it wasn’t just me, Shane was the one who—" you grimace at the memory. "You were there.”
“Mm.”
To answer her question, “But I guess it wasn’t til, y’know, I faced people again that I got I didn’t have to hide. Shane's sense of 'duty' helped, too. But after I talked to Carol, saw Sophia smile at me, when I knew they were on my side, I didn’t mind so much about the rest.”
“Pretty sure everyone was on your side with that,” she mutters. “For what I just did…”
“Pretty sure even Daryl will, um, well th-that you were tryin’ to protect the group.” …oof.
She lifts her eyebrows. “You aren’t good at lying, Y/N.”
It wasn’t a lie, per se. “Objectively, you were tryin’ to protect the group.”
“I wanted to feel in-control and like I could do it.”
Oh.
Tumblr media
She admitted that? If only your brain could come up with something heartfelt or whatever the situation called for to convey how much humility from someone so confident and self-assured means, instead of this: “I wanna be on your apocalypse survival team.”
A sigh leaves her, and she simply asks, “Just let me know how furious he is with me. I'm dreading how he’ll be when he’s up. I'm a little scared, while I’m being honest.”
“Hm?”
“Daryl.”
“You’re scared of him?”
She eyes you. “We’ve all seen how he can fly off his handle. He waved that knife at Rick and your brother, the axe at Jenner.”
Oh, right. That didn’t even consider cross your mind, that she’d be scared of his reaction to...being shot in the…head. Man, your brain is not working.
It can’t even configure a response again, now you’re just shaking your head like a confused mute.
“You don’t think I have to worry, Y/N?”
“No,” you answer truthfully. “You might would feel better if you saw him, he's probably up an eatin' dinner by now."
"I think now's too soon."
"Trust me, he’s holed up in bed now, he’s about as scary as a sleepy kitten.”
“Kittens have teeth and sharp claws,” she dryly states.
Your mind immediately hops to the exciting fact that you have yet to meet the Greene’s barn cat(s) as you stand and lead Andrea inside through the side door to get to Daryl’s room, waving to Beth reading her book as you pass.
“Beth, this is Andrea. Andrea this is Beth. She’s the one who made the pudding for Carl. She’s Mr. Greene’s youngest.”
Andrea smiles and goes in for a shake. Beth shyly waves, the returning of the handshake ending up as an awkward afterthought.
Sweet as she is, leaving her in peace is probably what she’s hoping for (the poor teenager’s home and front yard is full of wounded strangers).
And you almost make it through the full sentence before gasping in delight when you see what book she has.“We’re just checkin’ on Dar—is that a choose-your-own-adventure book??”
Him
There was this loud noise in another room, woke him for a second. Y/N’s laugh stuck out from the other sounds.
While falling back asleep, he remembered how he'd made them laugh really loud when he ripped that $20 bill that night at the CDC. How they’d belly-laughed so hard at his dumb, tipsy-ass joke had felt so damned unexpectedly good.
He’s back asleep before the amount of pain he’s in can really register.
You
“I’ll bring it over after I talk to Mr. Horvath. He’s the older man in our group, I love him to pieces, you probably saw him in his bucket hat?” you tell Beth.
Jimmy apparently has been poking fun at her reading choose-your-own-adventure books to pass the time because they’re ‘for kids,’ so, lending him The Case of the Missing Man was decided to be the best way to get back at him.
You hope y’all didn’t wake Daryl, it’d gotten a little animated for a minute. To make up for it, you tiptoe when you trek down the hall to his room, Andrea and Beth behind you.
Beth left something of hers in there before he was brought in, but she was hesitant to go in there (which you praised, teenage girls and unknown older men don’t mix). Anyway, she was hesitant because she’s a little, um, well, kinda intimidated by him.
Andrea invited her to join you two, citing “Y/N says he’s as scary as a sleepy kitten right now.”
At his door, you knock lightly and call his name. Wait for an answer, try again.
Upon listening more carefully, his snores sound through the door and let you know he’s still asleep. Slowly, slowly, you open it.
As subtly as you can, you step into room and pull the sheet that had fallen down back over his shoulder before the girls see the scarring.
Daryl stirs, then grunts something incoherent as he flinches, blinks, and tries to turn toward you.
Tumblr media
“It’s just me,” you hush. “I was fixin’ your sheet, it’d fallen.” You tuck the sheet down over his shoulder, gently and slowly. “You’re safe in the Greene’s house. Go back to sleep, sweetheart.”
His muscles relax and he’s back to snoring before the pet name is finished slipping out of your mouth.
Still standing beside him, you watch his side rise and fall, rise and fall. Reminds you how grateful you are. He really does look so helpless and sweet right now.
Tumblr media
You notice Beth peeking back and forth between you and him, but she quickly looks away.
Poor buddy. If the man is this tired, he’ll rest better with closed curtains. He’s big on privacy, besides. Carefully, you start to draw them shut. Andrea joins.
Once they’re all pulled closed and the room is dimmer, she puts her hand on your arm and gently pulls you back into the hall, Beth leading the way. You make sure the door doesn’t make too much noise as it shuts.
“Thanks,” Beth whispers.
“Scary as a sleepy kitten, right?” Oh, that reminds you, “Y’all don’t have a barn cat or two, do you?”
“N-not anymore.”
Aw, that’s sad. “I’m sorry, little one.”
“Oh, um—d-don’t get too close to the big, shuttered barn, okay?” she rushes to add.
Before you can both nod and tell her ‘of course,’ she then stumbles through, “There’s—it’s—the, um—it’s just not real safe!”
She looks so freaked out and nervous that you forget you’re supposed to respond.
Lucky for you, Andrea, smooth as ever, assures her “We’ll let Carl know not play around there,” and starts to chat about how she “steers clear of old barns” ever since she spotted “the biggest rat I’ve ever seen come out of one at a company retreat,” while Patricia comes downstairs hugging to her side what looks like a wedding photo.
Beth scurries away, you make eye contact with Andrea, then Patricia gets your attention.
“Sweet pea, about tonight,” she begins, hands pressed together with her fingertips toward you. “Daryl’s gonna need to be checked on—”
“—Of course. I’ll stay with him. Please do me a list of what to check for and how often?”
“Will do. Try and borrow that big watch again, you’ll need it. Prolly will do well to have somebody else, maybe Carol to help. I'll go find her. You know, there’s an old air mattress in the attic, I’ll have Jimmy fill it up. Just go grab your sleeping bag,” she tells you.
“Thank you!” You’d been hoping for a way to avoid Shane all night. Is this a gift from above or something?
A reminder of, “Don’t use your injured side to carry your sleeping bag in,” from Patricia sends you on your way outdoors to retrieve your stuff.
The air is cooling off as the sun sets. The sky is a hazy orange-pink.
Tumblr media
“Y/N, I didn’t realize,” Andrea says, slowly walking beside you.
“Realize what?”
“You two.”
You, too? Is she talking about your shoulder, maybe? “What’d I do? Do you mean my wrapped arm?”
She peers at you, head tilted to the side. “You and Daryl,” she softly clarifies. “It was Dale who wondered first, after you had to excuse yourself.”
Me and Daryl? “What’d we do?” Perhaps she's referring to the search today? Andrea isn’t one to not speak her mind plainly, you wonder why she’s not being more succinct. She doesn't know about you having shot that guy. Dale has an idea, but he's tight-lipped about it.
“So, you and he…?” she trails off.
?
So, you start to fill her in about the search. “Before Daryl found the doll, we’d—”
—OH WAIT, now you get it!

My Thoughts On The 2023 HoYoFair.
Wow. This year was full of utter gems. I'm just going to link a couple of the ones I especially enjoyed, and put my thoughts on them below.
youtube
I was extremely hyped up for Shadows in the Sand. It's always been a quest I enjoyed, and Jeht is by far one of my favorite npcs. (Although I hope some day she won't just be an npc... Make her playable, Mihoyo!) While I felt like the short was a little rushed, it was still a wonderful tribute to the quest. I love the reveal at the end with Jeht removing her mask. It was also nice to see Lumine!
youtube
I was also very hyped up for Times Changed after seeing teaser images for it. I adore Lumine's new outfit! I didn't really enjoy the short that much, but I admire the quality of the animation. If you're looking for Genshin fan animations to watch, try this one!
youtube
When I saw PROGENITOR: Albedo had gotten a second episode, I was thrilled! For those who haven't seen any of this series, I highly recommend checking it out. Here's hoping we'll see a third episode next year!
youtube
I actually only got onto the stream right before Riptide started. I love this song! The animation is beautiful and I think the singing and lyrics fits Childe's personality very well. Check it out!
youtube
Writing on the Wall is genuinely one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. Up until hearing this, I have been a Kaveh hater. Sorry! Haikaveh just didn't really appeal to me that much, and... That was pretty much all of the widespread Kaveh content I had seen. I knew Kaveh had more nuance in his character, but I felt very unmotivated to look into him.
That being said, this song helped clarify what I knew about him. I started crying halfway through the song. (And okay I'm sick with a cold so my eyes are already leaking 24/7, but still!) Writing on the Wall perfectly captures the feeling of losing motivation to finish your art. At least for me, I used to often find myself making paintings for friends. This became incredibly demotivating over time because I felt like I had to perfect details and I lost the sense of fun in drawing. Over the past year and a half, I've been trying to draw for myself more.
This song spoke to me so much. The lyric about the architect remaining inside their buildings especially stood out to me. You can see an artist in any of their works. Even if there's no written signature, every stroke and line is a signature in itself.
So... Am I converted to being a Kaveh fan now? Honestly, I'm not sure. That being said, I do have a c6 Kaveh... (cough cough Baizhu pulls x3). Maybe I'll finally try building him.

6 months as a Quadriplegic. It's been half a year since my injury. I'll introduce myself, my name is Emmie Falcon Levine McStuffins I am a C5/C6 incomplete Quadriplegic what People Don't know if I broke my C4 - C5 - C6 -T1 vertebrae but sustained most of the damage on my C5/C6 when you damage your C5/C6 you lose the ability to breathe and wrist flection since I damaged mine incompletely I still have some wrist flection which allows for my wrist to go back giving me some “false grip” now for my breathing I did not go unscathed I had a tracheostomy put in for about 2 days now I am incredibly grateful for the ability to breath on my own but I do have a tracheostomy hole scar right in between my collarbone! Most people ask how I use the bathroom as a C5/C6 incomplete Quadriplegic well to answer your question I use intermittent catheters intermittent catheter is a long flexible tube put into the urethra of a male/female since I have the male counterpart I use a male French intermittent catheter I do not use a female catheter since for females it takes a shorter tube/distance to reach the urethra or bladder. I know when it's time to use the bathroom because of a reaction I get called autonomic dysreflexia (AD) AD is a reaction that anyone from the T6 vertebrae up gets when the lower part of their body that is injured is in discomfort most symptoms associated with autonomic dysreflexia is chills, sweating above the injury, pounding headache. These symptoms can happen for a multitude of reasons, needing a weight shift or needing to go to the bathroom; there are a lot more issues that quads and Paras experience. Everyone's experience is different so this is just my story. Please feel free to share your story. It's been a rough journey but a good one as well. I am grateful for all the people in my life ❤️! And cannot wait for another month! Happy 6 months to me!
- thanks for reading that, but most of you might not know what you just read and who Emmie is. Well, Emmie is my wife, who is a C5/C6 Quadriplegic ♿ she has been a Quadriplegic for 6 months!

The station was never truly quiet. It went through quite a lot of effort to keep its two occupants alive, persisting through the troubles that plagued it so that they might keep trading their carbon dioxide for its oxygen. The noise was a small price to pay for the right to keep breathing, but Ruth most resented it at night. Judith had become accustomed to it far faster than she had, and slept in her bunk almost soundlessly.
Ruth had mentally prepared for the lack of comfort. Plans had a habit of being spoiled, but this was more than rain on a picnic. She should have been ready even for something like this, and most of the time she was. But the constant buzz of the machinery around her, had a way of affecting her ability to be rational. It was only here, in total isolation, that she began to think about the end of her life. She had planned to live in space, not die there. Just as she'd said, they had signed papers, they had accepted the risk, but that didn't make it fair. It didn't make it right.
Thinking of it over and over again will not change it. She tries to redirect. The English opening; debuted by Staunton at the first International Tournament. Kasparov was fond of it, and Fischer even employs it, if only to disarm his opponents. Fischer's an antisemitic piece of shit, but he understands the game, at least. If she's looking for a challenge, I'll deliver. She responded with the Anglo-Indian defense. I could respond with a pawn to D4 and allow for a full Indian defense.
The cogs of her mind begin to turn louder than the machinery in her ears. She tricks herself into sleep once again.
**
Her eyes open. She undoes the straps holding her body in place, one by one, floating out of her bunk. Digging through the bag secured to the port section of the bunks, she pulls out an outfit similar to what she's already wearing. Every three days, that was how often she needed to change. She drifts into the main chamber, yells down the passageway "I'm taking a shower, Judy." She knows her companion likes to stay further down, in the leisure area near the airlock, looking out the viewport. She disrobes, pulls the screen up around her until the springs lock into place, cocooning her. The process has little resemblance to the ones she took on Earth, methodical and requiring near-devotion. The scrub is efficient. The water is efficient. All is in the name of efficiency. She remains near the vacuum until her hair is completely dry, then moves all of the droplets of water and soap into the narrow nozzle.
I wonder if Judy can see it all drifting into space. Maybe in a hundred million years some aliens will find my DNA inside and make a clone of me. Maybe that's eternal life. I don't think I want to do the full Indian defense. I want to surprise her.
Finally, she's clean, retracting the screen down. "Judy, I'm done," she yells to be heard. She dresses herself with the new clothes, Judy entering the room not long after, holding her notepad. "'I'm moving a pawn to G3."
"Then I'll move one to C6."
Keeping her distance. Her guard up.

I JUST REACHER 60 AR IN GENSHIN IMPACT! 20.02.2024!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
After beating Cryo Regisvine-
And the rewards!
Tumblr media
A little dissapointing BUT
I'm happy that I managed to reach it, haha! When I was a newcomer it seemed like a big deal, an unreachable goal, but here we are, after...
666 DAYS?!?!!?!?
That's a devilish number, no surprises tho, I sold my soul to Hoyo a long time ago
Tumblr media
That's so random! And also..
4 DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY?!
That's some unique timing I see, Haha! It's been a long journey that I can finally said that I finished, even tho the story is still in making.
Now at least I won't lack Mora, as I heard that every exp above ar 60 turns mora in exchange, if it's true, then I'll never have to worry about Mora in my life!
It happened in 4.4, in the middle of Fontaine, Hoyoverse raising max ar when? Now, I'll be crazy rich after Natlan and Shenzhnaya!
And as always, Venti and Xiao never left my team, during all of this time! With Kokomi too, but it hasn't been a while since I got her, so...
I even have a spare kids champagne to celebrate it, green apple, just as how green ar 60 looked at it's notification!
And also for the pattern on my beloved anemo boys, Venti and Xiao, and overall anemo characters, that seem to especially love me. Dw, I love them back too! Also Venti loves apples-
It's truly a wonder how Venti was my first ever 5* and never left my team ever since, precious Anemo Archon!
Also Xiao has his banner now?!
He was the reason I started playing in 2.4 for him during his banner-
Tumblr media
My sweet any only limited c1 who came 2 times in one 10 pull (in 2.7), with his weapon at 7 pity!
I really love how all of this comes together for me, such a main character moment, where everything fits and all! With Yaoyao too, she's my first c6 ever 🥹
Everything is so coincidentally organised I- I LOVE IT!
Now some little summary of what I've managed to accomplish during this time

Introducing my teams Pt1 - Mono Geo
Tumblr media
disclaimer: I build my teams mostly based of a certain thematic and just for fun, they are not fully "meta" oriented and while I'm sure they can be improved upon I'm generally happy with the compositions.
Zhongli - Main DPS/Burst DPS Geo!Traveler - Sub DPS/Burst DPS Gorou - Support Ningguang - Burst DPS
"Whaaat a team made out of 3 burst DPS???" yes. Listen I am aware Gorou doesn't really shine here but I love him and maybe if I get Albedo one day he'll replace Gorou or Ningg but for now this is it.
The deal with this team is quick constant heavy damage. Geo doesn't have offensive reactions but I noticed early on when I started playing that Zhongli's stone steele resonance does constant passive damage and lemme tell you I. LOVE. THAT. Much later on I learned that what I was doing is an actual strategy called the "microwave comp" Rotation usually goes Zhongli E -> Lumine Q -> Lumine Ex2 -> Gorou E/Q -> Zhongli Q -> Ningguang E -> Ningguang Q -> Go wild with Zhongli on field
Tumblr media
My pride and joy. This is a hybrid Zhongli build and the one I use the most when coop-ing and stuff. Yes he is my main DPS and stays on field as much as possible while also working fairly well on his own. Sure Vortex is not optimal weapon but THE DRIP <3 2pc AP/ 2pc Glad HP/Geo/Crit dmg to get as much offensive power as possible with the sands main stat balancing VV being an Atk stick. Golden majesty only works on the user so it's a good thing he's my main DPS eh? I can usually get all stacks fairly simple. His crit rate may be a little low but that's where Lumi comes in, and when his burst does crit it does a pretty decent 100k+ dmg I am also incredibly proud of his resonance dmg sitting at a respectable 6k-8k per tick.
Tumblr media
"Geo traveler is the worst traveler element" Ok but hear me out: There is a limit of max 3 geo constructs on field at any time EXCEPT traveler's burst that somehow doesn't count while also counting as 4 individual pieces.... so in short I can place Zhongli's pilar, Lumine's burst and two of her starfall swords and suddenly I have 7 geo constructs on field doing intermittent constant dmg at 6-8k dmg per tick each and isn't that just beautiful? again 2pc AP/ 2pc Glad Atk/Geo/Crit dmg to get that offensive power. Sac sword not only so she's the team's battery but also for the Composed passive allowing me to place 2 starfell sword right away. Lumine's burst wake of earth has the added bonus that every character inside it's radius will get a boosted crit rate so she helps the team as it is in my best interest to keep enemies within the geo resonance warzone lmao. Her starfell swords do a solid 20k+ dmg upon placement.
Tumblr media
Sadly the weak link of the team for now. He would benefit the team much better if he was C6 but alas... his job is to buff the team with that sweet geo dmg and atk bonus 4pc Noblesse Def/Def/Def simply bc his bursts scales off of it and to get that buff after each character uses their burst which is... all the time . Fading twilight for ER (not that this team doesn't have enough already) not much else to say he's a quick EQ switch.
Tumblr media
Ningg doesn't stay much on the field but she hits HARD. The trickiest part comes from placing her Jade screen without disrupting the other geo constructs or have it break but it's usually a place and burst ordeal. Good for aerial or elemental only dmg being a catalyst. 2pc AP/2pc Glad Atk/Geo/Crit rt because she's a DPS of course, likewise skywards atlas for raw power. Each gem projectile does a solid 9k dmg or so, can't complain. Also, going through her jade screen can be another buff for Zhongli sometimes, just saying.
Tumblr media
That is quite a lot of geo res sir...
The first ever team I built, I love them so much <3 Praying every day for those Gorou consts and maybe one day I'll swap Lumine's sac sword for the Summit shaper just for the drip, after all I do have C3 Zhongli... Also did you notice all 4 have Masks of Solitude Basalt? That's their signature ehe <3

Xianyun Guide || Kit explanation, Builds, and Teams
Tumblr media
FIRST BUILD GUIDE IN AGES LET'S GOOOOO
In today's post i'll be explaining Xianyun's kit, best builds + teams, and my own thoughts on her power level
let's get into it!!
part 1 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ kit overview Xianyun is an Anemo catalyst support. By increasing jump height for all characters with her burst, she enables a new plunge attack playstyle for any character who can use her well! Skill - enters a special state. Upon using the skill, she leaps forward unleashes "skyladder" once to deal Anemo damage. She can then leap forward and unleash skyladder up to 2 more times. She is able to unleash skyladder while mid-air. In this state, her plunging attack has her turn into a bird and rush towards enemies to deal Anemo damage. This attack cancels the state. So you basically get to do a special cool jump 3 times and then get to do a special cool charged attack Burst - Deals Anemo damage and heals all party members. Then creates a mechanism with the following effects - follows the active character - periodically heals all characters - grants 8 uses of jump height enhancement - each plunging attack triggers additional Anemo damage Passive 1 - Each opponent hit by her skill’s special plunge will grant party members 1 stack (max 4) of plunging attack crit rate Passive 2 - while under the effects of her burst, the active character’s plunging attack will gain a flat damage bonus. This bonus works similarly to Shenhe’s icy quills simple summary - skill gives her 3 jumps and a special plunge attack. Burst heals all characters, grants a jump height bonus, and deals damage. Passives grant buffs to plunge attacks.
part 2 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ artifacts/weapons Artifact Sets ╰┈➤ as an Anemo support, 4pc Viridescent Venerer is one of the best choices. Use this set if your DPS is a Pyro/Cryo/Hydro/Electro character. If your main DPS isn't of these elements, this set can still be a viable option if you're also using a strong Pyro/Cryo/Hydro/Electro DPS ╰┈➤ 4pc Noblesse is a good choice but doesn't stack so you may have better holders of it in your team. If you don't have a P/C/H/E DPS and no other good noblesse users in your team, this set is one of your best options. ╰┈➤ 4PC Ocean-Hued Clam is a great option as well. It will give her a nice chunk of personal damage and can also help her healing a bit ╰┈➤ 4pc Song of Days past is a good option if you have it but it's not that good of a set to farm. Bubble damage from clam is greater than the damage of this set's buffs (shoutout to keqingmains i was actually curious abt this) ╰┈➤ 2PC/2PC is an okay option if you don't have any other sets. She can use attack, er, or healing bonus 2pc effects Artifact Stats ╰┈➤ Energy Recharge sands, Attack Goblet, Attack Circlet Weapons ╰┈➤ Crane's Echoing Call is her signature weapon and insanely good on her. However, it is quite niche so don't feel forced to pull for it ╰┈➤ Favonius Codex is a really awesome choice. It helps her with her ER% needs and provides energy to her often energy-hungry teammates like Xiao ╰┈➤ Other ER% weapons are good choices, esp if they have high Base Attacks or Attack stats ╰┈➤ Thrilling Tales is a good choice to buff your DPS but it does have a very low base attack which hurts her buffing capabilities
part 3 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ teams/teambuilding guide Xianyun is quite versatile so to do this section, I'll explain some other supports that are good with her and then what gives a DPS synergy with her, as well as some examples ╰┈➤Xianyun's team-wide healing makes her an amazing choice in Furina teams ╰┈➤ Characters such as Chongyun, C6 Bennett, and Candace can work well when paired with DPS characters that don't infuse themselves or who have significant downtime with their infusions ╰┈➤ The best choices for DPS characters in Xianyun teams are those with their own infusions. Characters such as Diluc, Hu Tao, Ayaka or even catalyst characters will work great with this new plunge attack playstyle! ╰┈➤ Even though Xiao and Gaming already enable their own plunge attacks, Xianyun's buffs to plunge attacks and synergy with Furina still allow her to be an amazing support. Her 2nd passive's flat DMG bonus allows her to almost function as a Shenhe for plunge attacks which makes her a great support choice for these characters ╰┈➤ When playing her with Pyro characters like Gaming, Hu Tao, or Diluc, you can still use Xingqiu and/or Yelan! Just weave in a normal attack in between plunges.
part 4 ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ overall strength/is she good? warning: this part is gonna be a lot less objective than the other three sections. In my opinion, Xianyun is a strong support who is, most importantly, incredibly fun! She provides such a unique gameplay experience that creates tons of new possibilities. So, should you pull: Sure! If she seems fun to you, she's a great choice. And another great thing about her is that she will definitely get even better with time as we get more and more characters with infusions!
and, that's all for today! I hope you found this guide helpful!! Feel free to leave any questions in the comments or send in an ask! Have a great day and stay hydrated <33
˗ˏˋ statuses ´ˎ˗
upcoming posts ・❥・ gaming guide, should you pull
asks ・❥・ open! I also want to start doing build reviews so send those in if you want me to review your characters! If you send one in, pls lmk how harsh you want me to be and how constructive I should be

Sky's Rambles
(AKA: I'm sorry to whoever actually reads this because IDK if you'll be able to make sense of my ADHD and Autism brain clashing)
Can Lyney get a rerun already? I wanna get his weapon and C6 Lynette. Like, I'm TWO CONS OFF
That being said, the upcoming banners are 90% useless too me. I have c6 every 4 star and have both 5 stars. I might go for Kazuha's weapon but like, I don't use him enough to justify that. I don't use him at all really. I prefer Venti for CC bc he has tighter CC and longer stunlock. I think the most I use Kazuha is...my Lyney team. Tbh. I don't even think I use him much there either. I have a C6 Layla and she buffs normal and charged attacks + applies cryo and shields. I only use Kazuha if Layla is taken for another team (which is a lot...Layla is the only shielder I use really since I don't have Zhongli yet. He's the only archon I have yet to get bc I got Raiden while pulling for Cheveruse.
Tbh, I'm glad the upcoming banners are worthless to me bc I have a guarantee for Arleccino (thank you Itto for breaking my win streak. I'll 100% get you next time.)
Also, the starters are in the Chronicled Wish banner and its a higher chance of getting them bc its a smaller 4 star pool. But the thing is, I want Amber. I fucking love Amber and if they dont give her a skin soon I will riot. But like I'm only getting Lisa. I have a c4 Lisa now. I love Lisa. She's so fucking pretty and she's my second strongest starter (Kaeya...isn't built. Amber's my strongest and my only starter to hit 50k as of rn.) But like-
My starter luck is good in the worst way. I got c1 amber forever ago, bought c2 from the shop after Neuvie's banner, got c2 Lisa from singles i got FROM ASCENDING LISA and took way too long to get a c1 Kaeya.
Lynette is so pretty. Like, I have a nuzlock account and she's one of the characters on it and I'm just like
Tumblr media
Every time because she's so pretty.
I'm not one to do this much, but Arleccino's idle leaks marked her the first Genshin character to get a "mommy" out of me. Then as a meme to my gf cause she was the one showing me: "Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. -deep as I can manage voice- Father."
We fucking died.
Probably gonna make a post about my teams I have set up one of these days.
If they run arleccino with a wanderer rerun im going to simultaneously die and ascend because Im a wanderer main, but i want arleccino, but that will also mean theres a chance to get that damned bell at r2 while pulling for arleccino's weapon.
I have, 100%, called wanderer's bell Titty Remembrance bc i couldn't remember how to spell Tuttulyas whatever and I gave up.
My favorite no resin things to do with friends:
Bootleg windtrace: hide and seek but we have to chase each other and its fucking terrifying half the time
Randomizer: i spin a boss wheel i spin a character wheel. Assign characters and try to beat the boss with said characters. Reroll if the boss is immune only if the character is catalyst. Cue confused and terrified screaming for bosses that you don't know the mechanics of. It's more fun when using someone's world who has all bosses open. (Thats the only reason I soloed lvl 90 Raiden with a lvl 40 Dori and a lvl 60 Candace.)
I'll add to this later with reposts.

thank you for the answer! i was the anon who asked you about 4* and sethos (maybe I'll use this emoji 🛸 so you can identify me easier)
Sorry I'm replying late as well, life is hectic 😭😭
And omg you main Noelle??? what's your build? i'm trying to build her again since i used her at the start of the game and didn't take her past lvl 60... She deserves better 😭
AND I ALSO LOVE GAMING OMG HE TOOK MY HEART. I literally c6-ed him and spend so many primos on him 😭😭 that's ok tho he deserved it. I also love Chongyun he's my special son. Got him at the start of the game so he was my first main 🥺 alongside him my faves are heizou, fischl, yanfei, gaming, faruzan, layla... well theres many of them lol. and recently sethos! I love his dynamic with everyone. Actually sumeru characters feel like family it might be my fav region for that. I was shocked when he had bigger connection to scara. I love the black cat and golden retriever dynamic they kinda have going on and their parallels.
also yes please do a favorite character list i would love to see it!
Have a nice day and sorry for the shorter reply. It's just I'm busy 😭 maybe I can send you more asks next week when I'll have more time. If you don't mind that's it. Or maybe I could stop being anon.
Hello 🛸 Anonie!! I'm super sorry for the super late response T-T I have already addressed it in one post, but I have been super busy filling and paying for my next year (banks are truly my no. 1 public enemy,,,), a few trips back and forth to see friends (I stayed in a place with minimal internet signal for more than a week TnT, among other trips) and doing a lot of house chores because all my household members except for me are working, so I clean all the house (which I don't mind, but there's a lot of work and too much heat T.T and I end up in my bed after everything lol).
I do main Noelle! I went to see my stats and realized I have to get her a better crit rate percentage because she does so much crit dmg... I use 4p Husk of Opulent Dreams + Prototype Archaic (I have seen guides saying that Whiteblind is better, so I might sacrifice my lvl. 90 Prototype Archaic for Whiteblind and change one piece of my artifacts so it has better rate,, choices choices) I will add images below cut!!
To preface this, I am not a meta player so take my opinions with a grain of salt lolol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So much dmg,, so little rate,,,,,,, I usually take whatever piece to add that element dmg, in this case Gladiator.
My favorite region is def Mondstadt, but Sumeru is my second one!! I like all the character dynamics and exploration in Sumeru, both rainforest and desert (unpopular opinion, it seems (≧∇≦)/) also the lore?? Absolutely fantastic. And Sethos? He has been incorporated to the fave characters very quickly, I loved his interactions with Cyno and whatever he has going on with Wanderer lolol Like wise, I loved Gaming, such a cutie and honestly a real good guy, he became one of my favorites very soon.
I ended up making a ranking with only four stars (as to make it fair), but only lore/storytelling wise, since meta is dead anyways (/j) and how hoyo managed their reveal and relevance (?) I think seeing the rankings will explain mostly everything but if you have any questions please feel free to ask!!
Tumblr media
(I want to say that I like all the characters, I am a person who finds it east to love characters lol)
In no particular order, except for Noelle and Xingqiu, who are the uncrowned queen and king of my heart and party and Xinyan. Pls hoyo release my queen from hoyo jail. Criminal that they did a event about music and my girl wasn't in it.
I have to say that I am guilty of not doing most of the hangouts, so my ranking can change after them. I foresaw me being tired from playing genshin, so I am only hyperfocusing on the characters that are more interesting to me first and when this gaming block disperses, I am going to do the hangouts and enjoy them lol
IT'S ME WHO IS SORRY ╥﹏╥ I kept this ask for sooo long ajdkashjashda pls send me more asks, I love reading and answering them 👉👈❤ they are very fun!
On my side, I don't mind if you want to stop being anon! I would love to interact with more people from the genshin comunity, even if it is a bit scary❤ so take your time and do as you wish, I will be happy either way 🤭

(This is the anon who pulled for alhaitham, sorry for taking so long to respond) Ooh, thank you for your reply, that was enlightening! I usually pull for personalities I like and always forget to read the talent section so I'm hopeless at meta, your thoroughness is incredibly appreciated =w=
For hydro, I've got (besides barbara) xingqiu, mona, and. the freak furina I just got in my one ten-pull left that I spent in her banner trying for c6 rosaria. So I'll use one of those lol
Mmm, see, I hate Zhongli and Yae too, but I think Alhaitham pisses me off less as a concept bc he's not in charge of everyone around him (at least not at the beginning, I'm still in sumeru ch2 lol idk if he does something fucked up when he becomes grand sage), so for all his flaws he can't fuck up ppl's lives the way Zhongli and Yae do. It's kinda refreshing that his pettiness led him to do something good-ish, instead of letting a sea god rampage on his country or let ei run her country to the ground
(Ayato I like in concept bc I love fantasy politicking but in practice his quest bored me to tears...one day I'll rewrite inazuma and let ayato, ayaka and kokomi be the mvps they were always meant to be)
That makes sense.
I could come up with ideological reasons for disliking Alhaitham, but realistically it's just because he's not my type lol. He doesn't do anything as Grand Sage. I mean this. He doesn't do anything at all, and he's already quit by the most recent point in the timeline. They hadn't replaced him, and I'm not sure they ever will.

Started earlier in the day with a round of G&G. Getting the credit for a D5 Erudition clear with my DoT team, on Conundrum 2. This one felt wild from start to finish since I lucked into some Remembrance blessings early on and just kept stockpiling great effects. By the time I got to the Automaton Brothers I was able to completely wipe out all three phases before they ever got a single attack in.
4 Paths down, 5 to go.
After that I tried a D5C6 run with my Nihility team, since C6 is the last run that gives Jades. The first plane and a half went solidly, but towards the end of the second plane enemies started doing one-hit kill levels of damage. Lost Black Swan and Luocha died when I fought Kafka in the second plane, and I did make it to the final boss where I had enough firepower and healing blessings to keep me going. Lost Luocha and Guinaifen on the Automaton Brothers, but I was just able to get the Grizzly down in time.
This is probably the peak of performance I'll get in G&G and as far as I go in here.

The weekly reset is in effect so I got another Herta Bond, and I got to cash a pair for another Superimposer. This one went to March to max out Texture of Memories to S5. By the time v2.1 rolls around I should have all four SU LCs maxed out!
I also got enough tickets to go for a ten-pull, but all I got out of it was another copy of Geniuses' Repose. I had an S3 version of that sitting on my Jing Yuan, and that's past tense because it's an S4 version now.
I had a run in the standard SU to eat up some of the freebie tokens (I've been stockpiling them for when we get to know about Acheron's kit) and kinda surprised this one almost ended at Cocolia, she got like five turns in a row and just breezed through Black Swan and Kafka, but thankfully Gui and Huohuo were able to finish it. The pulls were kinda mid, for all that trouble.
Dailies:
12x Nihility Calyx rounds, and enough to finish off Black Swan's Traces completely. Even got an achievement for it! I'll have to grind here for Acheron later, but for now I'll switch to another Calyx and get somebody else rounded out.
12x Erudition Calyx rounds. Today's haul got Himeko an Ultimate buff (8 -> 9). Once I get her a Fire Damage buff I'll probably stop there and start working on my Herta for a bit.

I'm actually gonna stop there for the day because, like, do you want this post to be longer?

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE RIGHT GUY OF MY DREAMS.
Heavy TW: Open prayer + mood swings related content
To my spiritual instant big brother,
Please bear with me that I have mood swings and I've been battling it for almost six years and a lot of some guys are trying to trick me instead of saving me from my dark thoughts in days, months and years.
Every sleepless nights in despite of taking my medications, my heart and my mind are about to be get fragile into pieces everytime I hear your voice and you are crying out for God's help and I know you can feel me about my condition right now. I deeply heard you in my mind saying that "My heart goes to someone who have been suffered from anxiety, mood swings and depression. Please give us hope, dear Father and heal her fragile heart and her mind as You do. Embrace her." while your voice is cracking out and you cried until you can't continue to open up because I know you will be there for me. I can't wait to hug you if you feel the same way but I just really can't. It affects me too much.
If I am there to meet you one day, I am sorry. I cannot comfort you when I see you in pain. If a big brother from another mother cries thru prayer in God's presence, it affects me of course and never gonna lie. If ever I can meet you, someday we can play some games together. We can coop if you like. You can also invite me in your Church activities even tho we are in different beliefs and I hope you will be the best instrument coming from the one true God just for me. The reason why I decided to join one day it is not about my personal choice but I do have a purpose. To avoid toxicity to those people that can kills me in my mind to make me feel irritative.
Once I'll meet you and came into my life, and also a gamer who likes Genshin Impact the most, we can coop everyday. If you play Starrail, I'll choose you as my support. We can chat 24/7 whenever I am still wide awake or I cannot at the end of the day. In Genshin, I can be a Baizhu main then you will be a Neuvillette main so that we can be a bloom team reaction buddies. In Starrail, I can be an Imbibitor Lunae or Jingliu main, you will be a Luocha or Huohuo support then vice versa.
I pray and I hope that you will invite me in various activities in the Church as long as my family finally accepted it wholeheartedly and they will loved you the most. I hope you are the right person and my main reason why I can fight my anxiety. One day, I wish you will be my spiritual instant big brother to the man of my dreams and I need you for me to save me from all of my negative and dark thoughts that affects me in the past and you will give me hope to shine a light through.
Please appreciate this open letter and I hope you will accept it. If my whole fam finally accepts you in 100% way, we are beyond grateful. Our house is always open for you. Thank you for guiding me.
P.S: I am not an INC member but once we meet in the future, I am willing to share you my whole story. Thank you for reading this letter, my spiritual instant big brother and Neuvillette main. I hope I can trust you. 💙
Sincerely,
The future C6 Baizhu main who continuously researching in progress...

LIFE UPDATE (as of May 2024): He is the right person and he is now my instant big brother right now. He is a Cookie Run: Kingdom player (he is older than me in four years proper) and manifesting Genshin Impact or Honkai Starrail in God's will. Philia forever since 01/26/2024. 🌸🧸🙏🏻
