#you'd amass a large camp of hillichurls

[chocoenvy]

Alright imagine this, A Soft SAGAU, where the reader wakes up on an island off the coast with nothing but beasts and a camp of Hili's for company. Reader decides, that they are just staying there for now, while everyone else tears Teyvat apart looking for the reader who is busy teaching the Hili's new things and enjoying barbeques with them. Meanwhile the Abyss is busy laughing themselves sick at everyone not being able to find them. Also, have you ever played Arknights?

God i love this thought of reader chilling with the hillichurls especially after all the stuff that happened with the chasm's new archon quest. (I think @/rea-can-yeet might've done some art based on this w/ rubedo)

In the same way that its often headcannoned for reader to be able to lessen Xiao's karmic debt, do you think the same works for the Hillis and Dain?

Maybe just being around the reader for the Hillichurls makes them feel much better and puts their minds at ease, and when you dance with them and sing their songs they feel so at home. As if they'd never left in the first place.

The hillichurls aren't as obsessed as your acolytes are, but they do still love you! They give you gifts and they won't harass you if you try to leave, they just want whatever will make you happiest. It honestly makes you so guilty for having ever harmed them. But it wasn't like you had much of a choice. And also dancing with the abyss twin 0 - 0

Because the abyss and the hillichurls have some sort of alliance going on so the abyss figures out your location quickly. And when they find you dancing along with the hillichurls... imagine Lumine/Aether asking to dance with you.

Anyyyyyyyyways-

Imagine the abyss twin having connections with the Tsaritsa/the fatui (i don't think this is canon i just feel like it could be a thing) and then meeting the Tsaritsa and the harbingers next and... imagine ballroom dancing with the tsaritsa and/or the abyss twin + the harbingers...okay putting that back in my drafts-

and then imagine how jealous the other archons and acolytes get when they realize you met the hillichurls the abyss and the fatui before you met them. You've been killing them this entire time and now you're so happily dancing with them, not even trying to contact them :( it's enough to break their hearts.

But you couldn't help yourself, when you found yourself on the beach surrounded by surprisingly friendly hillichurls you couldn't help but befriend them. And then one thing led to another and now you're far too deep to go back and oops this is fatui au now and you and the tsaritsa are married/hj

anyways im gonna stop making this about the tsaritsa-

Just gonna say I think making music while the hillichurls dance would be the most wholesome thing even. Imagine having your favorite non-important genshin character beside you while you do it too.

Like I get all genshin characters are important/famous in one way or another but like Noelle and Xiangling, maybe even Kazuha. They're not some government officials, and not too closely connected with very important people. So imagine just vibing on the beach with them, making music, cooking, doing whatever makes you happy on the beach shore with the hillichurls accompanying you.

I think it'd be fun.

also i used to play arknights! I stopped playing once Genshin launched tho dksjrksdjr I did like it a lot tho and i've wanted to get back into playing it!
