#relgion AU

[vial0fhope]

hi demi~

i just got an idea for a sukuita au based off of the manga angel sanctuary (spoilers coming if you haven't read it) ...

so what if sukuna and yuuji are brothers who were separated and only allowed to see each other a few times every year because their parents know that, from a young age, sukuna and yuuji had feelings for each other that completely transverse a normal sibling relationship.

yuuji is raised to be religious and always do his best to be good, popular at school and loved by everyone (bc he's so sweet and kind) while sukuna, though he's very smart, is the token problem child because he always takes his psychosexual feelings for yuuji (who he misses a lot) out on other people and his love for violence gets him into a lot of fights.

during one of the few times they can meet together, yuuji can't take denying his feelings anymore and wants to run away with sukuna, who is being a tsundere bitch only to keep yuuji safe and because he finds his own romantic attachment to yuuji monstrous. but eventually when yuuji's mom threatens to take him out of japan and away from sukuna forever, sukuna runs after yuuji and they both leave their normal lives behind so they can live together and "marry" each other unofficially.

but when yuuji tries to protect sukuna from an angel that attacks them one day, sukuna learns he's the reincarnated soul of the angel who rebelled against god and is stuck in a cycle of living and dying painfully, over and over, as punishment for his rebellion. and in this life, his punishment is only being able to love his brother yuuji and no one else.

yuuji ends up being killed by the angel and sent to hell for the sin of incest, and the soul of the fallen angel inside of sukuna reawakens and destroys almost all of japan, but he uses it to travel into hell and try to find yuuji again.

sukuna finds out yuuji is the guardian angel sent down to protect him from harm and recruits the help of his demon followers he sided with when he was the angel who rebelled to help him save yuuji and finally end the war against god.

it's basically just the premise of angel sanctuary but with sukuita lol.

This whole premise sounds so fucking good (and now i have a new manga to read, thanks honey ❤️)

Also, I apologize in advance. Words are hard rn for me, so if this comes out incoherently my bad!

But i really wanna talk about it bc the premise is incredible!

Yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!! Yes to all of this! Sukuna being so emotionally blind just fucking up other people's lives becauze he's in love witj yuuji at a young age, and Yuuji just doing his best not to fuck it up for him or his brother (like they got seperated and that alone would fuck with the two of them)

Sukuna fighting in a WAR for yuuji omg he's is fighting to get back Yuuji omg he loves him so much i CANT

Poor Yuuji, boy got sent to incest jail in hell by the fucking religon cops LMAO everything about that makes my heart scream with joy!

Idk why, but Sukuna and Yuuji being caught in a bumble fuck over their past life's poor descision making skills is the funniest thing, because wdym past lifes will make you suffer? Also was the suffering worth it?

Sukuna's past life perspective? Yeah, no hesitation on his part.

Yuuji's tho? Yes, but he REALLY wishes religions wouldn't hold grudges that follow you after you die!

Not only that but what was their past life like? Were they on the run and forver content with that? Living a more nomadic style? Or did they eventually find somewhere to settlw down? Ooooooo so many ideas on that ALONE

Sorry for the ramble, relgion aus bring out the philosopher in me.

[bluiex]

Far Cry 5 Hermitcraft AU idea from sleepy 10am Jade who has been up for 12 hours and eating pizza rolls.

- Scar is the leader of them and the relgion is based upon Vexes

- It’s kind of like Scientology so buckle up friends.

- They preach that Vexes love inside each human being and are what gives us our chaos and drive to do horrible things in the world.

- Criminals are the ones who deny their Vexes their chaos and thus it consumed them until they do horrible acts.

- Most average people feed there inner Vex through small acts they do. Be it minor or major.

- Scar’s cult is about bringing out your inner Vex and accepting it as part of you. By allowing yourself to become a Vessel of Vexes you can achieve betterment. Because you are no longer fighting against yourself.

- Cub is the cults ‘healer’ like sorts. His job is to carve the symbols needed to ‘Make you a Holy Vessel’.

- Basically the guy tortures you by carving into your body and breaking your will. Until you truly think you are no ‘possessed by your Vex’ and become a better person.

- Jimmy is the cults ‘Teacher’ of sorts. His job is to teach you loyalty to the cult. How to be strong for your brother and sister and priests.

- Basically once Cub has broken you, Jimmy builds you back up. Making you devoted and loyal to their cause. And how to ‘harness your Vexes power’

- Finally Pearl is the ‘Devotion’ part of it all. Her job is to bent your will so that you associate being a ‘Vex’ as ‘Pleasure’ and ‘Love’

- By this point your built to be a solider. So then they show you the softer side of things. How this is all fine. You get love and pleasure from being a ‘Holy Vessel’ so joining is a good thing.

- Scar is the high priest and the ‘First Holy Vessel’. Teaching everyone the ‘Ways of the Vex’ as pranking and saving people from denying their vexes. Even if it means killing them to ‘save them’.

- Most cult members wear half masks. Either just the smiles or just the eyes. Others might paint their faces vex colors.

- members truly believe they are doing this for a higher cause to their gods. And that this is the way to save people of the world from doing horrible acts ever again.

- Bunkers are mostly just areas for cult members and leaders to feel safe in. They are still somewhat of a Doomsday Cult. (Not sure how yet)

- Only leaders wear full masks. And while they have the traditional Vex colors, there are some changes. Jimmy’s has more golds to his. Cub’s more dark blues. Pearl’s has purples in hers. And Scar’s has silvers.

- most of the time the leaders rarely take off their masks. They only seem to do this for Grian.

- Scar is convinced Grian is the ‘last piece’ he needs and that they must turn him. Or else he will destroy them all. Killing him isn’t an option or the Vex will be angry.

- Jimmy, Cub, and Pearl are convinced Scar is telling the truth. They follow him without questions.

- they call themselves a family. But truth is they are more like a small poly.

- Grian thinks at first they are insane. But after going through regions and escaping them over and over. He might be slowly being convinced. Or he’s traumatized…

- their ‘Bliss’ is about the same. Pearls region is the Vex Space idea. And they use flower drugs to make you see it.

that’s about all I got … I’m sleepy.

Aksjdnfn scientology- this is gonna be gooooood. Doomsday cult, could be they think the Vex will arise and take over, destroying the world? Only they cna be saved and return from the ashes.

Convinced mhmhm totally.. Grian. It's okay they'll love you :)c

[oh-god-theres-6]

No one asked for it so here it is

Aren’t we active tonight? Haha this is rare trust me, but I needed to give a side note with this next writing piece as it would be confusing without it.

This writing piece originally started out as a Roleplay between the two of us based around the ReligionMatsu AU, but we placed things and characters a bit differently. This specific part of it contains Choro and Oso, ‘speaking’ about a former S/O of Oso’s, who was Death in our version. We wanted to share it with you cause, well, it’s fun to see different sides of these boys! We both hope you enjoy our joint writing piece and if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask us! We’ll be happy to inform you on anything you have^-^

————

Osomatsu slammed his palms against his desk, the fireplace behind him flaring with angry red light. His teeth grit painfully and his toes curled tightly in his dress shoes. Choromatsu glared at him from the polar end on the desk, the dark wood acting as the only barrier between them.

“You can’t expect me to allow you to go through with this, Osomatsu,” he scolded, bare arms crossed authoritatively across his chest, crunching the fabric of his toga beneath them. The older of the two grunted, his nails imprinting eight crescents into the end of his desk.

“I have to! You don’t understand any of this!” He seethed, stamping a foot against the ground and shooting an accusative finger at his brother, who watched without amusement. “You can’t understand a single thing about what’s happening!”

Choro, sure that his brother would soon be smoking from the horns, huffed and embraced his middle tighter.

“So you decide that the best solution would be destroying everything I,” he paused, restituting his sentence,” we worked so hard to create...?” The younger brothers gaze faltered for a slow moment, the emerald orbs focusing in on the burning floorboards pressing up against his bare feet. A few side steps and a sigh later he turned away from his brother, the defiant and authoritative hold on his stomach faltering until his arms hung loosely at his sides, only his fingers twitching in hopeless attempts to grasp at nothingness.” Why...? Why does this matter so god damn much?”

“Why?” Oso huffed, pushing away from his desk fiercely, “I find myself alone down here and you dare ask me why?”

His jaw caught at an aching angle, parting his lips for warm breath to slither out, a gentle gray tint flowing with it. A flicker of memory, like a film, played in his mind. A glance of dark eyes, a sinister and playful grin, the sleek slide of a finger across his shoulder. His hands rose to cup his head, fingers pushing diligently against his skull. His head shook and he groaned. “I don’t have to justify my actions anymore! I don’t want to!”

With Oso’s outrage dwindling in the background Choro’s own actions were becoming tighter, angrier, his loose hands curling into fists while punishing words hit against his back in waves of devilish rage. It wasn’t long before the green eyes shot back around, a hand punching down into the hard wood table with a resounding ‘thump’ echoing through the room. “I don’t care if you don’t want to! What you’re contemplating doesn’t just effect you, Oso! It will kill all of us!” His usually calm and gentle eyes were glowing with malice, eyebrows tightly knit together with his teeth clenched and his mouth quivering, he was seething.” You...you selfish low life! How can you not see what this will do!? Why aren’t you thinking about the large scale effect!?” Dribbling down the table was a small trickle of red, the color forming around the hand which had made a large impression on wooden surface.” Why do you only ever think about yourself!? Why.... why?... why?!” Repeatedly he shouted the word, his bloody hand curling tighter into the table before he ripped it away, the crimson river cascading down his skin and embarking to the floor in a small pool of red. “You are the epitome of pathetic, Oso... and yet you act as if I’m the bad one here...”

“No, you’re never the bad one! I’m the bad one, aren’t I?” He smiled desperately, eyebrows raised defiantly. “Aren’t I supposed to be the bad one?”

Oso crushes his head in his hands again, more snippets of moments long passed reeling along behind his maroon irises. There she stood, in all her dark glory. The cape she covered herself with held her body proportions, shaping her up perfectly. He could still feel the edged and rounded concaves of her body against his hands even as they carded through his hair. The confident press of her lips against his neck still skipped across the skin like a phantom. She held all the world in her hands, carefully pinning down those she deemed ready to leave. She was all he could call his own, and yet, just as her name held in prophecy, the warmth of her body against his died, festering with his rotted anger.

Choro could see the dreamy haze in his brothers eyes, the way they sunk into thought, no doubt it was the thought of her. Oso’s horns died in flame and his body clouded into a steady stance, wavering him into a lulled state that drowned his anger into remorse, and the other could only watch with fury clouded vision as he clicked his tongue,” No one ever said you had to be the bad one, that was a title you made all for yourself...” carefully he pulled his hand up to his chest, taunting his robe of white in crimson glory as he stared down his brother.” Never before has anyone called you the bad one, never before has anyone pinned you as the bad guy. Not once have I looked at you with hatred and malice, not once have I looked at you with anything but admiration... you... you were the one who stood in the mirror and wrote that name across your chest... not I, not anyone but you...”

“Then why am I here?” He growled, bearing his sharpened teeth. He stepped toward his sibling, his hand pressing roughly against the other’s chest. Smoke rose from the contact and pain bubbled in Oso’s palm and Choro’s chest, but as Choro winced Oso did nothing to step back. “Why am I the one everyone fears? The one who nobody must follow? Why am I not bad if you’re the idol for the entire fucking world?”

Oso sent the other back with a heavy shove and turned away, sending Choro into a curled up mass on the wood below their feet. Pain rocketed through the younger brothers chest, leaving him to do nothing but watch from the floor.

“You don’t know what being hated feels like. You don’t know how wonderful it feels to have someone who might understand- who might care about you and you certainly don’t understand what it feels like to have that ripped away from you!” Oso’s outburst continued as the flames in the fireplace roared with life, the fiery tendrils licking at the high ceiling and the color smoldering a dark purple. Her signature color.

It was absolutely terrifying to watch from Choro’s curled up position, the purple flames illuminating his elder brother in a dark aura. The green in his eyes were drowned out by the flooding wash of darkened licks of fire. They widened slowly, watching as the flames grew higher and higher and Oso grew angrier and angrier.” No... no I don’t...” he whispered, the back of his tunic holding a burned in hand mark, his back flaming red and scolding him with each muscle movement as he stood.” I do know how it feels to be betrayed by someone you trust though, someone you love.” He could see the disgust in his brothers eyes center on him, but right now he could take it as long as he could get a point across, even if it didn’t fully reach Oso.” I know what it feels like to loose everything,” he stepped closer, hands clenched into tight fists and his legs stammering forward in his uneven walk,” I know, what it feels like to have your heart ripped out,” he finally looked at Oso, his green eyes burning violently, lit brighter by the flames surrounding the the room,” I know what it feels like to feel unloved. Unwanted. Uncared for... I know what it feels like, Oso....” he was deflating as he walked closer to his brother, each step bringing him a bit lower till he was directly in front of him. Pain raced through his body, hands holding his opposite arms tight while he breathed out heavily.” Do you know what it feels like to never find love in the first place? To never have someone kiss you in passion and tell you that you mean something... do you know what that feels like, Oso...?” He looked up to him, eyes cold as eyes.” Do you know what it feels like to be alone....”

“Really? Never found love, huh?” Oso chuckled, fingers raking through his hair. His finger pointed dramatically to the heavens, the flames behind him burning again. “Well, the options you’ve got are much more reliable than mine I guess! It’s only a matter of time, you know that!”

He huffed, leaning back against his desk. He bit his lip painfully, a small collected of blood coloring his lips with a red tint.

“Hell, you’re not even meant to love, huh? That’s too much temptation. It kinda sucks for you. Never getting to love, or kiss, or fuck.” Oso laughed loudly, his hand sliding down his face. “Shit, you’ve literally got nothing but a pond and a bitch.”

He looked over at his sibling, his face almost calm as another snicker shook his shoulders. “What I wouldn’t give to be a bitter, lonely guy.” He shot to his feet once more, laughing more maniacally. “What I wouldn’t give to have my heart frozen because of sin! What I wouldn’t give to wipe my mind of any good memory I’ve ever had with her!” With a growl he swiped his hand to the side, slamming it on the table. Every object on the surface slid to careen into the wall, leaving the desk empty. “But no! I’ve been left with this and now I’ve been painfully reminded of just what I have to fucking do! I think you’ve forgotten,” he hissed, stepping up to Choro and narrowing his eyes, their faces so close their noses bumped, “Hell hath no fury like a lover scorned.”

Instinct lead to many bad decisions, ones that could ultimately ruin everything for people, more than just the people involved. But for once, Choro was confident in his instinctive choice to lift his knee up, kicking his brother away with scared eyes and a shaky stance. He wasn’t dying today. Not because of him. As Oso stumbled back and Choro regained his stature he paused, looking towards him quietly.” Maybe it doesn’t...” he was heaving now, limbs shaking heavily from the stress his body was under, caused by the burn, the flames, and all around being here was hurting him.” The fury of hells fire will never reach your scorn, but when you fall you will burn in your own desires and hatred and be left in the rubble of your lovers scorn.” He hissed Out quietly, curling down on himself and staring vacantly at his brother, eyes tired and scared, but his aura, for once, holding confidence.

“Get out...” those two words filled the room, drenched in venom and Malice.” Get out!” They repeated, louder, bolder, leading Choro to stammer back further from his sibling. On the ground Oso had collapsed, the weight of everything falling on him as he took solace in the floor.

From where Choro stood it looked... pathetic almost, the flames had died and the body was lying limply, forearms only holding him barely above the ground as he continued to mumble those two words in repetition, his mind a broken record now. Wordlessly Choro agreed, his left hand reaching to the side with an open palm, green lights flickering around his body before shadowing him in an aura of white light, and when it faded he was gone, leaving Oso pitifully alone on the floor. Still, he whispered into the air the same two words.

“Get out,” bed mumble into the floor boards, fist pounding down against them again and again,” Get out! Get out of my head! Why won’t you leave me alone! Get. Out!” His brother was no longer who he spoke of, and all he could be comforted by was the resounding echo of his own regrets filling the room around him.

So I fell back into winx club again (s1-3 plus the movie, we recognize nothing else past that on this blog) and like I just have headcannons I've been wanting to share forever on Domino and a sorta Domino raised Bloom/an au specifically.

First before I get into it I honestly believe Bloom shared traits with the people of Domino but because every adult thought Domino and it's people were gone they just didn't put two and two together. After every person who knew Bloom before were like "You know that makes sense."

(Also how the hell did they make Domino disappear from everyone's mind in less than one generation? Even with the whole planet gone you can not convice me that there weren't others from Domino who just happened to move and not to add into the the possible relgion aspect of Domino. Which leads into my next point)

Domino would have been in my mind a sacred realm to those who worshipped/believed/celebrated the Great Dragon and the Dragon's Flame/Fire/Spark. Many would make pilgrimages to Domino like people on Earth do to Jerusalem.

Domino's royal family also always had at least two children, one to rule politically, and the other to be the spiritual leader. The spiritual leader would be the one with the strongest connection to the Dragon's Flame or the chosen host of the Great Dragon. They would hold that position until they died. Due to wanting to keep this within Domino the spiritual leader didn't often get married or if they did they had a long distance marriage. They didn't have to be celibate though, creating new life would be a big thing for them.

Domino used to be an absolute monarchy but over time has given power to a ruling government that can make decisions without the monarch, but the monarch still is the leader.

Dominions tend to have some dragon traits, though they don't always mean to do it. One of these being growling. They have different growls for different emotions. (This totally came from the realization on how much Bloom growls in the show.)

They also have a great relationship with dragons because they can communicate with them.

Traditional Domino dress uses shedded dragon scales sewn into the fabric or made into jewelry. The royal family's crowns imitate a dragon's horns.

Domino produces some of the most wizards, witches, fairies, and any other bame you can think of for a magic user due to Domino being the home of the Grear Dragon.

Most magic useing Dominions specialize in fire but they all have the ability to learn any type of magic in the natural world. This is due to the fact the magic to creat Domino was progenitor magic.

Onto Domino raised Bloom/an au that never left my head as a child.

In my mind the attack on Domino still happened but Domino went completely isolated after to recover/accidentally just letting everyone think they died

This was a decision made with in mind that one of their biggest allies had turned on them and they don't know why.

For the first 10 years of her life Bloom was taken to Earth with Daphne to hide while their parents made sure everything was safe enough for the girls to resume/start their training.

There they met Mike and Vanessa Peters who become like second parents to Bloom. (Or Vanessa is Oritel's sister who married an man from Earth and Oritel sent his kids there during those first years to protect them. Idk how I want to incorporate Vanessa and Mike yet)

Bloom is still the host to the Dragon's Flame so she's being trained early to be the spiritual leader, something her people desperately needs and the postion mother temporarily held during the war. She's trained by her mother and the priestesses of the Great Dragon.

She's still Bloom though she's still curious about everything and always dtf (down to fight). It's just worse now cause baby is more feral with just being around dragons more than people.

When 3 year old Bloom managed to convince a dragon to let her ride on it while flying Oritel and Miriam knew they were in trouble.

Bloom does have a need to help her people though and goes to them herself helping anyway she can.

This includes Bloom leaving Domino to go to Alfea.

It was a decision that weighed on Bloom for a long time. And it started by a comment Daphne unintentionally made. "We have to open Domino up again eventually. Let all the other realms know we're still here. But are we ready for it?"

Bloom took that to heart, she knew she wasn't ready but she was supposed to help her people through something like this, when everyone would be nervous and one wrong word could create mass hysteria.

Bloom remembers the school her sister and mother talked about fondly, how princesses and fairies from all different realms went. She remembers Daphne said it was good practice for diplomatic relationships.

"I want to go to Alfea," Bloom will announce one night.

Her family seems hesitant on letting her go.

"We have to open Domino back up eventually," Bloom reasons. "Let me start."

Oritel and Miriam agree and Bloom is on her way to the school.

She is not ready for the culture shock.

karine in influencer au is  a famous frog tiktoker i don’t make the rules. She’s also famous on instagrame for her little photoshoots with the froggies and people think she might have made a relgion based around Sir Oswald the toad, but like who even knows with her?

Lore Speculation!

       I was working on Haru’s religious views, and going over the tiny snippet we have on Azim and Nhaama and I noticed there are a couple similarities between the Auri Duality and the Eorzean Pantheon!

       The dawn father and dusk mother in the creation myth are said to have created the au ra to fight for their respective patrons right to rule the earth. When the Raena nd the Xaela made peace with each other, however, Azim and Nhaama left the earth to be ruled over by their creations. This is very similar to the eorzean pantheon leaving Eorzea to the mortal races after they impressed them.

       There is also the more obvious similarities between Azim and Azeyma, the sun goddess of the 12; and the less obvious similarities between Nhaarma and Menphina, the keeper of the moon and love goddess of the twelve AND solidly tied to Azeyma through being her sister. Could they possibly be the same deities, just interpreted by different cultural lenses? If so, does the rest of the 12 have solid involvement in Othard and elsewhere?

FINALLY EXPANDING MORE ON THE GENSHIN DYSTOPIAN AU

... Yay.

anyways, today's topic ISSSSSS (drumroll please),,,,

Bullet one! AKA, "Progression of the Mondstadt School Society". This is going to be in a more headcanon style post, just so yall know.

With that, let's get started!

So firstly, an actual governmental system to keep this society in order is decided pretty early on, surprisingly. A man names Blanc Sylvester (AKA the hot Hydro daddy of this universe) is the one that kind of immediately takes charge, and decides he is going to create the "Peace Betallion"

Which is basically just the Mondstadt School's version of the Knights of Favonius 😑

BUT he wants capable vision-weilders to help lead certain categories (like calvary captain, librarian, etc). Which is hard, because NOT EVERYONE HAS A VISION YOU DUMB A-

anyways. I digress.

BUT he finds our loveable cast of main characters (who I will not discuss in this post, and will probably discuss in my post discussing solely the characters)

He also finds Mitsuki though (our lovely protagonist), and IMMEDIATELY doubts and denounces her supposed abilities

Yet some of the others he has already picked urge him to at least check her out, despite her "ditzy" and "head-empty no thoughts" nature, and he is surprised at her ability to actually keep a group of people in order.

And her knowledge on Genshin is wide, so that's a plus.

So Blanc says "FIIIIIIIINE. Make her the head mechanic/glider in the pEaCe BeTaLLioN"

Aka the school's equivalent of Amber. Which is worth talking about, since that kind of shows how he views her despite her high mechanical (and possibly fighting) ability.

He sees her as an Amber. Which the fandom typically sees as weak and not worth building

So that symbolism there is cool and important ig

From there, the Peace Betallion does exactly what the name suggests: they keep the peace in the Mondstadt school. They are basically are like the police, although there aren't any SPECIFIC rules, more or less keeping the freedom

Of course the library has rules, but as long as you don't try to murder and start fights (or do anything normally seen by society as brash and taboo), the streets are free for the most part

Businesses, of course, can set their own rules as well. Money is still the same as the outside world

Culture from here also slowly builds, as of course, physically the Mondstadt school is separated from the outside world. The Mondstadt school is located in New York, so it's culture is like American culture, for the most part

Yet common habits from the Genshin Fandom also merge with this American-city like culture, and so you get a very spunky and free culture. Very lgbtq+ supporting, etc.

TW FOR RELGION IN THE NEXT THREE BULLETS HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE! thanks <3

There is still freedom of religion, but the majority of people have switched to Celestism (the worship of Celestia and its archons). Mainly in the Mondstadt school, they mostly worship "Lullabene" (AKA Mitsuki's archon name as the anemo archon, similar to how Venti's archon name is Barbatos).

Christians especially throw a fit over this sudden religion that appears, and how it goes against the ten commandments, but Celestists basically bully them into shutting up 🥰

They even have a church on the third floor by the way, where they worship Lullabene. It's basically the whole square thing like in mondstadt with the venti statue but here

Okay its over now <3

Lastly, the "school" eventually becomes almost unrecognizable -- it just looks like someone transformed a huge mall into an indoor city. SOOOOO they decide to change the name of their society to "Mondstadtia", rather than "the Mondstadt School", because that's too long and lame <3

Literally there is a school inside the school that is on the 2nd floor. It's free, but is optional lol

FEEL FREE TO REBLOG THIS OR COMMENT ON IT OR SOMETHING AND ASK QUESTIONS. check the original post that I reblogged in this one if you're confused lol

I am here today to present to you all,,

the genshin dystopian au <3

feel free to use this idea, just credit me lol. use the hashtag "#genshindystopianau" when using this idea

also DISCLAIMERS:

I'm 100% sure this is original but I'm sorry if someone else made a separate au with the same name,,,

this au can also be very derealizing to some people, so be aware of that k thanks <3

I was stuck whether or not to make Blanc or Mitsuki the protagonist, but in this post, it's from Mitsuki's POV

lastly I will definitely make more posts on this when I get motivation :)

anyways lets get going 🤩

so life is exactly how it is in the real world, genshin is currently a pretty popular game, and life is average and boring for our protagonist (who I'm gonna call X for now)

X has been a fan of Genshin Impact since its release, but wasn't able to play until early January of 2021, since she didn't have a device to play on. her first 5-star was Ganyu, and she's even AR 56.

however, she has maladaptive daydream disorder (AKA she daydreams too much) :,)

so it's hard for her to get motivation to go and play, since she'd rather just daydream about it than play it. if she somehow did have the motivation, she would be a much higher AR by now

she's basically a shame to the high AR name lol

then, one random day while she's at school, everybody's electronic devices glitch out and play some video explaining that Teyvat is actually real and that seven schools across the globe will be chosen at random, one based off of each region (the school has to be either a high school or college/university, and has to have a high enough student count, so really not all over the world but yk)

also on the off chance there is no electronic devices nearby, the video plays in reflections (such as water or mirrors). if all else fails, the person will literally get a vision (no pun intended). and it's in every language. and explains what genshin impact is. so everybody knows and understands. kk?? got that?? good

then once each region has a school associated with it, everyone inside the building is "locked in". nobody can leave or enter, including teachers and staff ;-; (also technically they can go outside, but there's a very strong elemental barrier around the school, so they can only go a certain distance)

FEAR NOT THOUGH, for "Celestia", aka the top organization people running this grand scheme, will bring supplies and basically whatever the archon wants to the school. cost is ignored/not an issue 👍

and that brings me to my next point -- a small selection of students are picked to have visions. these students have views aligning with the archon/region's views, so

Anemo = Freedom

Geo = Contracts, Loyalty

Electro = Eternity

Dendro = Knowledge

Hydro = Justice

Pyro = War

Cryo = Love

above is kind of like the guide to which element has which strong ideologies. so a little different from the game, but this makes things a lot easier for me lol

for example, if someone strongly believes in love and care, they would probably get a cryo vision (if they are in one of the seven schools. you have to be living in one of the seven schools to be able to get a vision). also their desires can be more twisted (for example, someone with a geo vision firmly believing contracts are unnecessary and should be broken), although this is uncommon.

depending on the school's corresponding region, the vision users in that school will have the special vision casing (ex: vision holders from the liyue school will have a liyue casing around their vision)

there's also an archon in each school, which was previously mentioned

one of the people in the school (usually the one with the strongest ideologies to that region's element) gets chosen as the school's archon. they're in charge of everyone in the school and can basically do whatever they want

and yes, they're even in charge of adults if they're a kid. They're also the only ones with contact to big boss Celestia

ALSOOOOOO whether the person has played genshin or not has an impact on the social hierarchy of the school (yes there is a social hierarchy, deal with it)

a special room in the school HAS to be dedicated to playing genshin (it's one of the few mandates given by Celestia, other than things like "don't try to overthrow Celestia, keep the social hierarchy, etc).

however, in order to enter the room, you have to be a "genshin member", which means meeting at least one of the following requirements:

1) be AR 16 or above in genshin impact

2) have been a fan of genshin impact since March 1st, 2021 (a test is taken to see your knowledge on genshin story and lore)

if you don't meet one of these requirements, you can't access the genshin room OR play genshin. playing genshin without being a member is a huge crime in the schools (depending on your class the punishment is different).

Social media is still permitted, and you can become a fan after the school lockdown and setup, you can just never play the game or enter the genshin room. and yes, vision holders may have no prior knowledge on genshin (so they have a vision but aren't members)

Below is the basic frame for school hierarchy:

Celestia

Archon

Vision holder, plays genshin

Vision holder, doesn't play genshin

Plays genshin, no vision

No vision, doesn't play genshin

lastly, anyone in the schools that are chosen has their appearance changed to be what they WISH they were (example: some dude wishes he didn't have a beard, and so his beard permanently disappears once the school locks down). this feature goes as far as to change someone's gender, so overall pretty positive

with all of this in mind, the schools are then chosen, and WHAT DO YOU KNOW, X's school is chosen to be the Mondstadt region, and she's also the anemo archon

I mean,,, she's a big fan of persona 5, and also wants to escape her extremely religious and Christian parents, so she does heavily align with freedom ideologies???

but she's like 16, unmotivated, and doesn't know what to do with her life

so she just pretends that she just has an anemo vision and is apart of normal Mondstadt society. she does send an email though with an alternate account to all the school staff, basically saying that since she's in charge, students are allowed to do whatever they want -- they don't have to go to classes, take tests that are normally required, or even eat school food if they don't want to.

she ends up putting this announcement out on the loudspeaker with a text to speech voice, since the adults don't listen, but also says that everyone must pursue some sort of passion or hobby, as long as it doesn't hurt others. The upper floor of the library is what is turned into the genshin room (a room specialized for genshin members to play the game and socialize about it)

her appearance is also completely changed, so she changes her name to "Mitsuki", since she has now taken on the appearance of her self-insert OC. fun 😋

before her school became the "irl mondstadt", she wasn't really noticed or liked?? everybody thought she was babyish and ditzy, mostly because of her disorder causing her to space out often. but she's actually really smart, and as she is now undercover as a normal person, she decides to keep up her child-like persona, despite being one of the highest-ranking people in Mondstadt.

even in her undercover state, she is literally the person with the longest association to genshin, and a vision (bc apparently long-time genshin players are nonexistent in her school ig?). if there wasn't an archon, she would have been the default leader anyway lol

so she's kind of just undercover bc she wants to be treated as a normal human being and not worshipped wherever she walks (which is understandable)

but since she's a ditz and seen as an idiot, leadership ends up in the hands of Blanc, a tall hot man with fluffy black hair and a Hydro vision. <3

he's been playing genshin since June of 2021 apparently, and he has good leadership skills (according to the mass Mondstadt population ig)

he's the one that gets a church built dedicated to the anemo archon to replace the west side of the building's third floor, and he's the one that Mitsuki is just like "Yeah I'm gonna leave this up to him"

plus he lawfully abides by the rules the anemo archon set, so that's a plus

also if you're wondering how he transformed the building so easily, I have an explanation for that 😈. basically now that the school is inside a barrier, those with proper authority can change the interior shape of the school with mAgIc (the outside still appears the same). so kind of like how in Encanto, there's all that space in those bedrooms, but logically that wouldn't all fit in that tiny house

anyways there's a lot more but I'm gonna save that for later lol. I have a plethora of things I could talk about, but this was more of an introduction post :)

Future Topics for Discussion on the Genshin Dystopian AU:

progression of the mondstadt school society (how it kind of builds into a full on culture, what that culture is like, etc)

OC's -- what are the characters? what are they like? what do they do?

Infrastructure -- what is on each floor of the school? how many floors does the school have? etc

what about the other schools (ex. the Sumeru or Snezhnayan schools? what are they like?).

the last one is one I haven't really thought much on, and is perfect for readers out there to make OC's from it. have fun lol
