alright it's time to show my genshin impact oc i guess

Mei Rong, 24 y.o., Snezhnaya Element: Cryo Weapon: Catalyst Constellation: White Lily

Combat Talent: Snow Blessing Creates a shield that deals Cryo damage when colliding with an enemy Combat Talent: Full Moon Blade Creates a one-handed sword that is telekinetically controlled and deals Cryo damage

~Character Story~ Mei's father is from Snezhnaya, her mother is from Liyue, her father moved in with her in Liyue, where their daughter was born later. Due to an accident in childhood, which gave Mie the Vision (and the sidelong glances of passers-by), she grew up preferring reading books and having small hobbies, including drawing, to communication. Mei's family lived in two countries until her parents decided to settle in Snezhnaya, and Mei stayed in Liyue, working in the local library and archive. Her position seemed perfect to her until she realized that she was gradually being dragged into the swamp of routine and fatigue from the bustling port city. Deciding that this could no longer continue, she quit, collected all her savings and moved to Mondstadt, buying a small apartment on the attic floor of one of the houses in the city. Earning money by errands in the Guild and a part-time job in the library, Mei started to draw more and more. She sent paintings and illustrations to Liyue and Snezhnaya, looking for a job, and soon began receiving orders, finally living the life she had always aspired to.

~Vision~ One day, walking through the forest in Snezhnaya late at night, little Mei fell off a cliff and got her hand into a wolf trap. The child did not have enough strength to uncoil the springs, let alone try to pull out his hand. Night was falling too fast; after a few minutes of fruitless attempts to free herself, Mei noticed shadows among the trees - wolves were approaching her. Feeling the horror growing inside, choking with prayers to Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, she made a desperate attempt to pull her hand out of the trap. A sharp pain shot through her muscles, immediately replaced by a burning ice. A bright flash lit up the forest, and a pack of wolves turned into ice statues. The Cryo Vision glowed in Mei's palm; her arm, freed from the trap, was covered with ice up to the elbow. Mei hardly remembers this story - but her icy hand does not allow her to completely erase it from her memory.

In Snezhnaya, children with white or gray hair are called "kissed by the Tsaritsa." The icy hand, Cryo abilities and the nickname because of the color of her hair - all this affected the fact that Mei always treated Her Majesty with special love and reverence, believing that it was she who turned her gaze on her and saved her from death in the night forest.

Serenitea Shop | Snow covered Kiss

Xiao (Genshin) x f!reader

italiano

Modern AU

Serenitea shop >

- Per me un te alla menta grazie! - Chiese Yanfei con fare cortese. - Oh no scusami oggi ho solo caf..- - AH-HA! - intervenne la sua ragazza puntandomi il dito in modo inquisitorio, le larghe maniche svasate della sua giacca dondolavano davanti alla mia faccia. Indossando poi il più malizioso dei sorrisetti commentò. - Avrei giurato di aver sentito specificatamente "Té mandorla e cannella" poco fa.-

Colta sul fatto la mia faccia inizio a tingersi di rosso per l'mbarazzo. Già, perché per quel qualcuno, il the c'era sempre. - Allora come possiamo avere questo privilegio? Diventare musicisti? Far parte della famiglia Alatus? Oppure bisogna chiamarsi Xia..- - Shhhhhhh - mi allungati a coprirle la bocca. - Oh! Tao! È ancora lì! - bisbigliai indicando nella direzione del soggetto della conversazione. - Oooh, hihihihi.- sogghignò di gusto, - sembrerebbe che ci abbia azzeccato. - La compagna dai capelli rosa si rivolse a me con tono di scuse - Non fa niente per il the e... Mi scuso a nome di Hu Tao, è più forte di lei non riesce proprio a farsi i fatti suoi. - susseguì un offeso "Hey" della fidanzata. - No ma figurati, ha ragione! - scossi la testa sconsolata. - Sono arrivata ad un livello imbarazzante... -

Gli occhi ambra furbetti della ragazza si addolcirono e con genuina curiosità chiese - Come mai non gli chiedi di uscire? È sempre qui! Sono sicura ricambi! - - Già fatto!- sospirai ripensando alla settimana prima.

~ Ormai aveva imparato a memoria quando sul menù c'era il SUO tè, e così, a furia di incontrarlo settimana dopo settimana, avevo finalmente preso coraggio. Con mano tremante mentre gli porgevo la sua tazza lo guardai diritto in quei suoi occhi color miele e gli feci la fatidica domanda. - Ci conosciamo da un po' adesso eh? Mi stavo chiedendo,... Ecco,... tu mi, piaci, molto!e quindi...sì... ti andrebbe tipo di... uscire?-

Vidi le punte delle orecchie che sporgevano dai morbidi capelli diventare sempre più rosse e il suo volto si illuminò. - Oh, eh-hem... Sì! Mi piacerebbe. G-grazie, ti apprezzo mol... APPREZZO molto, la tua offerta!? - Altrettanto estasiata feci un sorriso tanto grande da sentire male alle guance. - D-davvero? Allora, che ne dici di... domani sera? Al porto fanno bancarelle e musica. Potremmo stare lì, ballare e se c'é troppo casino prendiamo da mangiare e ci allontaniamo.- gli proposi terminando con tono consapevole del leggero disagio sociale del ragazzo. Aprì bocca per dire qualcosa ma ritirò il fiato. E quella rara solarità sul suo bel viso, sì spense.

~ -...band, lavoro, aiutare i club di scuola, andare da suo padre,... Non un giorno libero vi dico! Tralascia anche il tempo per sé e la sua salute. -Finii di raccontare alla coppia. - Quindi, per darvi una scusa di incontrarvi in giro gli porti sempre l'unica cosa che beve sul menù.- assunse correttamente Yanfei. I due frappuccino che avevano ordinato mentre raccontavo erano pronti, glieli porsi insieme alle mie scuse -Argh! Sono pessima ragazze, vi sto usando come valvola di sfogo... Perdonatemi.- - Ma di che ti scusi? Come se io non abbia fatto gli stessi drammi per Yan..- - Che drammi avresti fatto per me?- interruppe la ragazza dai capelli rosa ricordando a Hu Tao della sua presenza. - COMUNQUE, sta sera. Wangshu Inn. 22:30. - Continuò la mia amica dallo stile gotico. - Sì. Capo.- risposi facendole il verso.

Una volta tornate a casa e preparate per l'occasione ci ritrovammo a salire le scalinate di legno del peculiare edificio. Era uno tra i più belli e peculiari della zona in architettura e intrattenimento offerto. A guardare sembrava avessero impilato 3 palazzine prelevate dai quartieri di Pechino. Un'incrocio di finestre, pezzi di tetti spioventi, e balconate, tutto costellato di di luci dai toni caldi e lanterne rosse. Sembravs partorito dalla fantasia di Ayao Miyazaki. Ad ogni piano vi era qualcosa di diverso: una sala giochi, un ristorante un nightclub, e sulla cima un'osservatorio. Un'edificio rinomato di proprietà del signor Bowseichouse, fratello maggiore di Xiao, nonché, luogo di lavoro di quest'ultimo.

- Ricordami perché non abbiamo preso l'ascensore? - sbuffò Hu tao. - Queste sono gratis, i tuoi 6 mesi di palestra costano 15'000 mora. - ribattei. Arrivammo finalmente al secondo piano, una fila ad attenderci. Guardai nei vari angoli in cerca di volti famigliari alle porte e fortunatamente intravidi il ginger. - Arrivo subito. - avvisai la mia compagnia.

- Prego, entri pure. Documento per favore, ben... Oh! Hey girlie! Venuta riprendere il tempo perso oggi senza la mia compagnia? - Distolse lo sguardo dalla fila Childe. - Ma certo! Se poi nel frattempo fai passare avanti le mie amiche, tutto okay giusto? - Ridacchiando mi avvolse in un abbraccio laterale. - Ma certo! D'altronde e colpa di una mia distrazione. - scherzò facendo finta di non vedere. Allungai il braccio a richiamare la coppia e chiacchierai per un po' con il collega di Xiao. - Non è giusto! - si lamentarono ragionevolmente le ragazze in cima. - Permesso speciale! È la cognata del grande capo d'altronde.- rispose convinto il bodyguard. - Ma magari...- sospirai arruffandogli i capelli per dispetto. Dopo un breve controllo, entrammo ed immediatamente incrociai lo sguardo proprio con la mia crush. Si trovava di schiena al ragazzo ginger, nel muro interno dell'edificio. Le orecchie e guance erano rosse, ma l'espressione era quella seria di sempre.

- Buonasera Alatus. - salutò reverente Yan Fei. - Ya-hoo!- si annunciò in allegria Hu Tao. - Ciao Xiao, non sapevo fossi di turno sta sera.- sorrisi calorosamente - fino a che ora? - continuai cercando di sviare la causa del nostro comune imbarazzo. Fece un cenno alle ragazze prendendo le loro giacche e mi rivolse un sorriso prima di riporle. - Ho appena iniziato, rimango fino a chiusura. - porse loro il numero di appendiabiti e si girò di nuovo da me. - Tu tieni tutto? - . - Ah giusto! - mi tolsi goffamente le giacche. Il rossore che si era finalmente dissipato ritornò vivo anche sulle sue guance. Lui mormorò: - Stai...molto bene sta sera. - e si affrettò a recuperare gli abiti sfiorando la mia mano. - Grazie, gentilissimo. - risposi ridacchiando timidamente.

- Allora? Ci muoviamo? - arrivarono le voci zittite del resto della clientela in entrata. Mi scostai per lasciarli passare. - Ti...tu...Fino a che ora rimarrete? - balbettò affrettandosi a recuperare i vestiti dei visitatori. - Non saprei onestamente, ragaz...- e quando mi girai per chiedere notai che se ne erano andate. - Er... Penso alle 2/3, dipende dalla sopportazione di Fairy,... Er...Yan Fei.- - Non le piace? - disse riferendosi al tipo di serata che si prospettava essere. - Oh no! È brilla Hu Tao che non le piace. - risposi esausta al solo pensiero. Ridacchiò al pensiero, girandosi a riporre i vestiti ricevuti per non darlo troppo a vedere. Notai che qualcuno stava ancora per commentare sulla distrazione che stavo dando al povero Xiao, così prima che potessero aprire bocca mi avvicinai a dargli un pugnetto per salutarlo. - ti lascio alla clientela. Grazie per la chiacchierata e la giacca, buon lavoro! Lunedì ti porto il solito. - Con un espressione da cane bastonato annuì e avvicinò il braccio per ricambiare.

Mi girai per allontanarmi, ma con presa salda mi ritrovai più vicina al bancone di prima e il respiro di Xiao sul collo. Posò le labbra vicino al mio orecchio e poi sussurrò.- Ti aspetto come sempre. Divertiti. - e dopo un'ultima stretta alle nostre mani ora congiunte, si riminese all'opera. Mente sognante e piedi leggeri mi portai distrattamente all'interno del locale, e per mia fortuna, il volto famigliare di Venti mi si palesò davanti trascinandomi in pista. Childe arrivò dopo poco al fianco del ragazzo dai capelli turchesi, gli posò una mano sulla spalla e gli indicò con il mento la sala. - Vai è il tuo turno. - e con un cenno di assenso si diresse immediatamente alla postazione di sorveglianza. Prima fila sui tuoi movimenti sinuosi e spensierati e Venti scaccia "mosconi".

Hi it's me Kaisaan the guy that has a list of all translated and untranslated megaten stuff. Do you have any plans for translating anything else, or anything that you'd like to see translated? Regardless, great job on the Punishment given by Sin translation so far! Looking forward to the completion of the second volume!

Late reply but, I actually have a lot of things I want to translate...

Official media for the most part I want to get the 2nd part of the ateshi batsu novel done as well as:

Kandori novel

Mie Takase EP novel (might try IS too but it depends on how interesting I find it)

EP World Book (actually working on it, most scans are done but cleaning and editing takes a while x_x)

IS DLC (The one with a bunch of OCs and P1 cast, I have the full jp script extracted)

A lot of the P2 anthologies (I have 17 (missing 8)) and might try getting some P1 anthologies too (own 10 out f 29...)

P1 PSP Snow Queen novel (This novel is in Nanjo's perspective, it doesn't have very good reviews but I'm curious about it) Also possibly part of the EP guidebook (it has an interesting interview with kaneko-tadashi-cozy about the themes and development of EP). A lot of these things I'd post raws of because I can't do everything on my own but I like to be organized and only post things WITH translation available but idk orz on top of doujinshi being my passion primarily and that one takes a while too because I own at least 110 P2 doujinshi....

And I heard you breathing

in the summer heat, along the ridge

Down to the valley where

A river to quench my thirst.

And the breath became

The tree that sinuously

Dances in the wind

Of my hands

On the turgid knots.

So I became the owlsbills

White as snow

That covers the peaks

That still seek me

To melt into a river

Which in reality is the sea

It is your true perfume

You who are water

That you are life, take me away

And make me yours.

By osante-mente

E ti ho sentito respirare

nella calura estiva, lungo il crinale

Fino alla valle dov'è

Un fiume per dissetarmi.

E il respiro è diventato

L'albero che sinuosamente

danza nel vento

Delle mie mani

Sui nodi turgidi.

Così sono diventato la civetta

Bianca come la neve

Che copre le cime

Che ancora mi cercano

Per sciogliermi in un fiume

Che in realtà è il mare

È il tuo vero profumo

Tu che sei acqua

Che sei vita, portami via

E fammi tua.

By osante-mente

plant matter, part 1: a mid-season update

Veggie garden

This year, I planted two cultivars of tomatoes, but the names are all in Japanese, so I don’t actually have a really good idea of what they are. If it helps, they are アイコ and 甘玉ミニトマト (which just means sweet round mini tomato). I bought them as grafted starts from the garden center near Matsumoto for about ¥250 apiece. A steal!

I live in an apartment and knew I was going to be planting in containers, but I was still a little underprepared for some aspects of this project. The full sun of May turned out to be too strong, and the tall vines now all have a naked midsection from when I had to prune off some sunburnt leaves from their day at the beach. Some strong winds in early June also knocked the pots over a few times. Now, they’re strung up under the bike port to protect from both the sun and the wind. My sometimes kind, sometimes overbearing downstairs neighbor helped me trellis them to the roof. Because of the weird, intermittent sun under the bike port, they’ve grown kind of out of hand shape-wise but are still producing well.

I also have two types of bell peppers , which are are happy in the sun and still live there. The smaller of the two is producing really well, the bigger has yet to show any fruit but has lots of flowers. Bell peppers can be eaten at any point but the sweet reds and oranges characteristic of summertime take their time, so it’ll be a while until I’m eating anything from there.

The growing season in Japan is really, really long; I was buying starts in March and had them planted by April; I’ll probably be harvesting well into October if the temperatures from last year keep up and the late rainy season is any hint. Given how abundant my current setup already feels, I’m looking forward to seeing the creativity my small space will require to keep everything supported and staked. I’m also looking forward to gifting the fruits of my labor to my neighbors, with whom my terrible, terrible garden has been a great starter of enthusiastic yet clumsy Japanese conversation practice.

Next year, I’d like to grow using grow bags instead of containers to maximize size and storage in the off season, and also venture into early season vegetables to hopefully get another harvest out of the long growing period. My neighbor across the street is already on her second crop of the year on the same garden plot, producing fat gourds after a full harvest of snow peas and pea shoots. Bell peppers are also a little slow to produce for my impatience, so I’ll probably also start shishitos to hold over my itchy hands.

Anything can be a houseplant if you try hard enough

Monstera deliciosa and monstera adansonii

I bought my deliciosa for ¥1200 at the grocery store a few weeks after I arrived in Mie, and did nothing to take care of it for the remainder of that growing season as settling in became overwhelming. By the time the long winter dormancy passed, I was realizing that I had wasted several good months of growing and set about taking it seriously. I repotted, fertilized, browsed /r/houseplants, and watched with absolute delight as she pushed out three new leaves in just a few weeks living on my balcony before realizing I needed to repot again to set the sideways-growing stem upright. At time of writing, success of this major transplant is to be determined; the smaller plant is pushing out a pretty pitiful leaf (that I also ripped while staking), but there's no movement on the larger plant. I'm so happy with how this plant has grown.

The adansonii was a recent purchase that came from the same store as the deliciosa. In Virginia, I have a baby adansonii from L, but hadn’t even realized they were the same plant because the leaves on this thing are colossal. I repotted immediately after I brought him home because he was pretty crispy, and I hate the potting mix that my local grocery store uses. Just a few weeks later she’s pushing out big holey leaves.

2. Phalaenopsis, dendrobium, and cattleya orchids

I call these plants rescues, but honestly they probably could have used rescuing from my care at some point. I got the phals for free from the opening of an Italian restaurant downtown, where they otherwise would have gone in the trash. I took them home on the bus, the enormous white flowers hitting me in the face every time we went over a bump. I enjoyed several weeks of the colossal blooms, then cut the spikes back and repotted for the winter dormancy, where I lost several large leaves and was in dire straits for a while. This growing season, I’ve been rewarded with a facehugger amount of fat green roots and a few new leaves, although the period of neglect has left the mature ones pretty pitiful looking. My phals are overgrown, battered, and won’t be winning any contests but I’m holding out hope for some flowers this year. I imagine this is what adopting a retired racing dog is like.

I bought the dendrobiums in bloom from the grocery store. They dropped their flowers and almost all their leaves immediately and looked really fucking terrible. They still kind of do, but I split the plants into three to be more manageable and the new canes are doing better than they were crowded in the same pot. I thought the window hanging might have the best light, but the old canes are kind of long and unwieldy. I don’t think I can cut them because they hold a lot of water, which will help with self-regulation if I travel for a long time, but I hope they know that they hate me and I hate them.

I found this cattleya for Y500 at the grocery store! It also dropped its blooms when I brought it home (are we sensing a theme yet), but I came home from Kyoto last weekend to a new pseudobulb and a renewed hope for blooms this year.

3. Honorable mentions

Ikebana club at school, where I found not just one but two caterpillars in my set of flowers. I absolutely don’t have the touch for this, but it’s very fun. Bonus harvest from a run.

Bucket orchid lives in a blue plastic bucket on the ground in the break room at school, and has for almost three months now. It hasn’t been moved since that time, and has doubled in size. On the last day of exams, I checked and it has a spike. Bonus money tree that lives on my desk.

Bankoyaki is a specialty type of pottery local to my city! There was a fair a few weeks ago, and I picked up some plant pots, dishes, and a nabe pot. If all goes according to plan, these will come home with me to America to feed my ongoing houseplant habit there too.

Camellia, plum, cherry, azalea, hydrangea

The flowering season stretches long in the spring. Cherry blossoms are the most famous, but in March, camellia are king. Their fat bulbs are used to make an oil I use in my hair, and they litter red, white, and pink petals. I visited Tsubaki Grand Shrine with Matthew on the tail end of camellia and the start of cherry blossom, an assault on the senses.

The earliest of the ridiculously pink trees are not actually cherry blossoms but plum, which have a similar appearance but are darker pink with rounded petals. A large orchard in walking distance of my house called 梅林 was where I planned on spotting some of these, but the blossoms were pretty much immediately obliterated by some heavy rain during their peak bloom. A few weeks later, I was enjoying light pink cherry blossoms anyways, and learning more about the difference between the two. My neighborhood is called Sakura, and the namesake turned out.

I wasn’t lucky enough to spot any wisteria this year, but I have a good sense of what they were supposed to look like thanks to a few holdouts at school on the outdoor trellises. These huge purple trees are on my must-see list for next year. Instead, I enjoyed azaleas in my neighborhood, which grow in vivid reds and pinks out of impossible-looking spaces in rock walls and garden pavers.

Last, powered by the late rainy season, is hydrangeas. It’s been lovely to go to spots in Sakura that I discovered were the best viewing places for cherry blossoms and to find that the hydrangeas and magnolias in those same places have exploded into bloom. Nearer to Sakura Station, I saw several types that I had never seen before, as well as a snowball variety that are cartoonishly cute. At the end of June, C and I went to Uji to visit Mimuroto-ji, known for its sprawling hydrangea and lotus gardens.

Fibrous eating

A heavy emphasis on seasonal foods follows through to the availability of certain vegetables during hyperspecific times of the year. At time of writing, I’m finally finding cauliflower, zucchini, and flat beans in the stores despite my previous resignation that I would never really be eating them while living here. I’m not sure how long this will last, but I’ll make the most of this greenery before I have to go back to mushrooms and kabocha squash in the winter, although shiitakes are so stupidly cheap all the time I can’t imagine not eating them whenever I get the chance.

Through the winter, I enjoyed many different types of citrus, including a fat, wide type of orange called sunfruit that I turned into a syrup, and haruka, which look exactly like lemons and taste exactly like lemonade. I think they’re trademarked, so I wasn’t able to get any shoots out of the seeds, but I do have a small army of sprouts from another cultivar called seminoles. In only seven to twelve years, I’ll have free fruit!

Around my neighborhood, a medley of fruit smells emanate from the mostly unattended fruit trees everywhere. Right now, kumquat trees are dropping fruit left and right, which I can pick up off the ground relatively undamaged. I come back from my evening walks with pockets full of dropped fruit and stained fingers from picking ripe wild mulberries. Also growing wild are kiwi, plum, and persimmon trees, which will all come into season slowly over the course of the year.

Soon, we’ll get the expensive dark-skinned melons that Japan is notorious for, but right now I’m also enjoying tiny muscat grapes that have the same texture as popping boba, sweet yellow cherries, and thin-skinned white peaches, all exorbitantly priced.

Thank you, plant matter!
