#Frequent Traveler

I've been renting cars all across Europe, and Europcar’s Privilege loyalty program has honestly made it so much smoother. No complicated points system—just real perks like free upgrades, priority service, and even free weekend rentals. I recently reached Elite VIP status (yep, it’s as cool as it sounds), and I’m sharing all my tips on how to level up faster, plus whether it’s really worth it if you’re constantly on the road like me. 🚗✨

Taking random and unnecessary Capital Bikeshare rides can make sound financial sense--but it helps if you can't turn down a good gamification scheme.

Members of the Batfam are routinely miserable that they cracked the Zodiac killers last two ciphers and know who he is, but the bitch died.

u know what would be a cool genshin fic idea? isekai/transmigrated reader, but instead of appearing within the general timeline, you come into the genshin world 500 years prior to the start of the storyline in khaenri'ah.

honestly it could be either a little before the cataclysm, giving enough time to delve into some relationship building + explore some world building with characters like dainsleif, traveller's sibling (which would probably be lumine bc i actually do like her as abyss sibling & aether as traveller), and npcs like halfdan (still crying over him to this day ;w;) and possibly the khaenri'ahn royal guards (assuming you either join them or have a good enough relationship with them), OR it could be you appear during the crisis, completely and utterly lost as to why you were brought amidst the chaos and bloodshed as you watch everything you barely knew about this nation crumble before your very eyes.

either route will still result in reader's existential crises and constant "why am i here? just to suffer?" monologues because really, who would be fine after going through that after coming from /our/ world? and not to mention you've had to endure the next 500 years wandering with no real set path because you don't know this world— this era of teyvat or of genshin. you're merely stuck, unable to die, and forced to live a life of uncertainty with no clear direction for you to go to.

despite it all, you've at least been able to see dain during this course. while your meetings pass far too quickly for your lonesome, and his solemn demeanour is something you're yet to be accustomed to after having been with him before the fall of khaenri'ah (assuming it's the route where you appear before the cataclysm), you're glad to see a familiar face every now and then. after the messy departure with the lumine who left for the abyss order, you've come to appreciate his quiet presence more and more each time.

and then you decide it might be time to settle. you soon realise it's difficult to do so when your lifespan has become far more than that of a human's — of a mortal's — and so you find yourself becoming used to staying in one place for a few years before setting off for the next. rinse and repeat. over and over. it's come to a point where you've witnessed the nations undergo various changes each time you visit. you know change is inevitable, and yet your heart stings each time you witness it; a testament to how the world is ever-changing, yet you're stuck in place as a bystander.

one thing you're grateful for, however, are the bonds you've established amid your back-and-forth over the centuries. from archons like zhongli and venti to long-life beings such as neuvillette and the adepti to regular mortals who have showed you kindness as if one of their own... you've grown to cherish those memories, often reminiscing them when the nights get too long and surroundings too quiet. it was difficult at first, and still is, but you've become used to the inevitable change and the passing of those you once knew.

and after 500 years, you find yourself face-to-face with one you haven't seen since before you appeared in this world; the protagonist of this world, and the one you eventually join in hopes of finally finding a means to an end, aether.

little side notes/extras:

from /our/ world, you would probably know the storyline from up to around current (5.0) or maybe a little after the fontaine aq conclusion. it gives a lot to work with, but you definitely won't remember a lot of the lore after so long other than some main events, especially since most of your knowledge is pretty irrelevant for the next 500 years,,,

i think it would be cool if you had an inteyvat on your person as a little homage of khaenri'ah, which may or may not invoke some opinions from certain characters (*cough* aether immediately being reminded of lumine and having an existential crisis *cough*)

post-cataclysm you would go through a, uhm, long phase of helplessness, wondering why you were even brought to this world so far back if you couldn't even make any contributions. it does eventually morph into a resolution to do what you can to help those you come across if it's within your capabilities, but the nightmares and helplessness come back every now and then as a reminder for what you can't do :D yippee :D

honestly i'm on the fence whether you would have a vision or some other type of abilities (think on the similar lines of aether/lumine's and dain's), but i think having some type of purification mechanic would be a must in your arsenal !! would definitely lead to some moments between you and characters like dain or zhongli who suffer from the erosion as you give them a slight reprieve from what rages within and corrodes them

a little self indulgent, but i'd like to think your first /proper/ meeting with zhongli happens during a lantern rite festival, wherein you're admiring the lanterns in the sky after making a wish of your own and he comes up from behind with "they're beautiful, wouldn't you say so?" and !!

also as for love interests, as much as i would love for human/mortal characters, a part of me feels like this story would be better suited for the immortal/long-life characters as love interests?? idk i feel like considering that 500 years is, well, a long time, the bonds you would have with them compared to characters like, say, alhaitham or diluc would be way too different ?? though i would definitely still add them as love interest bc i am a sucker for so many of the human characters ;w; it would also add to the angst and hurt/comfort ahahha...

anyway thank you for reading this massive brain dump of a fic bc i absolutely would put this as a long term project, and if u made it this far then i would like to say that dain solos—

hello!!! i was able to get all my bills paid for this month without overdrafting my bank account, which is amazing 🥹 but my rent is coming up and due on the first, i only have $5 in my bank account but i need $750 to pay rent 😭😭😭 im working my ass off on comms in the coming weeks, if anyone is interested in getting one in the meantime im extremely open! $80 for a single character and $120 for two characters!

and if you cant afford that and just want to throw a few bucks at me that's much appreciated too!!! anything helps at all, anything will help me not be severely overdrafted before my next (very small) paycheck hits on the first of january!

im still on the job hunt and nothing has turned out so far unfortunately :( commissions are my main source of income for the time being since the job market is in shambles

So, for the past week, my family's been on a tour of Italy.

The good: we're seeing lots of places. Started in Milan and kept moving towards Rome, stopping by in different town.

The bad: It's true. It's so freaking overcrowded everywhere. And hot. So very hot...

I'll say, it's a bit jarring seeing medieval cathedrals and American brand stores next door to them.

I went to office Depot today and ask them to print this 🙂.

[partitioshugenaturals]

hey if anyone here follows or interacts with @/bunnydoobles do not interact with me whatsoever ! he is a rapist, manipulator, and liar that tormented me and my close friends for several years. i will not be attaching lots of screenshots because it is a very personal issue to me, but just know this is barely the start of it. one of his big things was also sexualizing minors and stealing characters :)

for anyone wondering by the way- yes i did engage in these conversations with him, but it was because it felt unsafe not to. he was extremely pushy and frequently made physical threats to others, including myself. the "yoshida boobs" refers to borderline soft core porn / pinup of yoshida from chainsaw man, who is a child in his depiction. a lot of my evidence is either lost because i've purged most of our chats and interactions so i didn't have to think about him or way too personal to me as a person and my friends.

EDIT 1/4/25 : he has addressed this and once again is minimizing his own actions. "Update on this apparently he’s addressed it and NO !! It was not years ago the most recent instance. was literally last year . (As in early 2024 . January in 2024. We broke up January 30th.)"

There has been even more developments afterwards as well. We suspect him of stalking us and others, and more which cannot be shared. If you continue to support him after this it's really none of my business, but i urge you to reconsider. Ultimately most of it stays between him, victims, and other associated parties. I'm not updating this post again unless it becomes relevant.

EDIT 1/5/25 : forgot to address the character thing lmao. he just straight up stole a ton of names concepts and characters from lovely lauren as i've been told. there's definitely more cases

HUGE EDIT 2/17/25: Another victim of his has come forward and i can now confirm that the statement of the most recent instance being over a year ago is a lie.

I've been contacted by another victim who verifiably has stated that they had recent experiences with Andy the same as we have (within the last 4 months) and has experienced the same manipulation and abuse. Which just goes to show this guy is willing to lie about anything to get people off his ass.

This might be weird to ask, but how’s everyone together in the Murder Mystery animation? I know it’s just like, a hypothetical situation, but they’re all so far away from each other in all the maps you’ve shown. :0

Well first and foremost, the groups converge several times over the course of the story. While it's not super often, all 15 do meet up and sometimes must bunk down somewhere safe together for periods of time.

In the murder mystery anim, they are all taking refuge in Brook's farmhouse. A few mimes they trust* are there with them-- assuming they would help keep an eye out for other more hostile mimes.

So in that hypothetical, all fated 15 are there, plus Ching, Weepy, Uppsulka, TyV, Chickenstab, and Rede (*They only trust him when Chickenstab is paired with him) are all in the vicinity as well.

That's an extremely large grouping that would very rarely happen during canon stories, so I don't blame you for wondering how the hell that could have happened, lmao.

I know little of the Keepers and their cultural norms, but I suppose it should not come as a surprise that matters of grooming and personal maintenance should carry a more pragmatic connotation for those who live in such isolation - or perhaps our friend is simply strange, regardless of his context. I must admit: it was no small comfort to me, in those frigid days heralding the twilight of the Dragonsong War, to discover that our champion did not share our Sharlayan intuition toward personal space. Our more guarded companions don't always share my gratitude for the attention, but I believe that after our long estrangement, even the coldest of hearts could not fail to be warmed by such a gesture.
