(Hi, this is my first time sending an ask to anyone on Tumblr so I apologize if it's horrible. Uh, anyways from my understanding your letter event is still going on, so I would like to participate. Tbh I don't fully understand the self aware Genshin thing so I apologize if this is bad.)

To Xingqiu,

This is my first time writing a letter, so I hope it's alright. Anyways, I would like to say thank you for being one of my very first vessels. I would like to clear up some confusion on how I may have treated you as a vessel. From my understanding, people think of the creator as only one person. However that's not the case, i'm merely one of two gods. Me and my brother are supposed to act as one god, but he has no interest in your world so it's just me for now. I would like to apologize for my brother's behavior towards you and the other vessels, he was reckless and almost got you killed multiple times. I know it can't erase the memories of almost dying, but I would like to give you a fluffy cat plushie and a friendship bracelet since I consider you more of a friend than a vessel or anything similar to that. It may not be to your liking, but for me, it's custom to give plushies to those I like no matter their age. You're my favorite out of all my vessels after all, anyways I hope you enjoy my gifts!

- Signed, Lulu

xingqiu walked towards liyue harbor, one hand on chongyun’s back and the other propping open a book. another exorcism had gone… less than ideally, he’ll say, since the spirit was repelled by chongyun’s yang energy and not his thaumaturgy. the spirit was gone nonetheless, but it always got him down in the dumps.

slipping a bookmark in his novel, xingqiu shut it with a snap. ”alright, let’s hurry up and get back to the harbor, okay? how about i… treat you to wanmin restaurant, hm?”

chongyun’s hands paused in the air, his blue eyes narrowing. “you can’t order me jueyun chili chicken again, xingqiu.”

“now who said i’d do that?”

“you always ask xiangling for spice on the side! and after today, my yang energy is especially volatile, so i can’t be exposed to-“

“fine, whatever,” he huffed, but a smile was on his face. he kicked a stray rock off the path, eyeing the distance between them and the harbor. the sun had set already, and the city did look quite beautiful. “black-back perch stew, then?”

“you know that- xingqiu!”

before he could react, chongyun had pulled him away from whatever was behind him, his claymore pulled from nowhere.

“get back. it could be an evil spirit.”

xingqiu leaned over his friend’s shoulder, trying to see what had set off his alarms. he’s not surprised that chongyun sensed something before he did, but he is surprised at what had set him off.

hovering at the point of chongyun’s blade was a spiked ball, floating in place. it bumped into the sharp point, and though gold dust fell, it didn’t seem to be affected.

“…it looks like a lantern.”

“you never know what it could be. liyue is a dangerous place outside of the harbor, filled with-“

“wouldn’t spirits be repelled by your yang energy?”

“…”

xingqiu glanced at his book, deemed it replaceable, then reached over chongyun’s shoulder.

“xingqiu-“

“it’s fine, it’s not like it’ll explode.” he tapped the ball with the edge of his book. “see? harmless.”

hesitantly, chongyun’s claymore disappeared back into his inventory. “that was incredibly risky of you.”

“mhm.” he stepped around him, seeing the ball for himself. it gave off a faint warmth, and was remarkably bright.

“i’m serious. even if it’s not haunted by an evil spirit-“

“we decided it wasn’t.”

“-it could still be dangerous. what about if it was a trap sent by the fatui?”

“the fatui aren’t nearly smart enough.” before he could be stopped, xingqiu reached and picked up the ball, turning it over in his hand. to his surprise, the shell quickly began to crumble, and he rushed to catch the items that fell from it.

despite the ball having been in his palm, he was only able to fumble for the envelope, his hand blocked by the remains of the shell. thankfully, chongyun caught both the plush and bracelet.

xinqiu put his book in his inventory and straightened, pulling out the invisible creases in his clothes. “what, checking them for curses?”

“no, this toy is too unstable to harbor any harmful energy, the bracelet doesn’t have any charms. woven string on its own is not nearly enough to hold curses or jinxes.”

xingqiu ripped open the envelope, pulling out the sheet of paper inside it. “then why did you take them?”

“there was no way you could have held them on your own. you weren’t quick enough to catch them.”

ah.

“what does the letter say? is it signed?”

xingqiu recovered quickly, reading your letter aloud. he paused for a moment on your last line, but kept his voice level over it. it was interesting to think that there were two gods presiding over teyvat, and he’s certain he should bring his letter to somebody higher up to help spread the knowledge… but that was for later.

chongyun was silent through most of it, fiddling with the bracelet and plush in his hands. then, finally, “how could you be their favorite?”

“what? h-hey!”

[vriskaserketdaily]

@insectoidmatriarch does this answer your question

[chipistrate]

Question about GGY! Mostly about what you said in your last answer. Would you count the Viruses as sub-branches of the Glitchtrap/Mimic virus, or are they more of a separate thing?

Ehhh- I consider them their own thing that were spawned from Glitchtrap, if that makes sense?

I wouldn't call them "sub-branches", but more like... its children ig??

They can be influenced by the Mimic1/Glitchtrap ofc, but they are their own thing that I believe to have their own free will- to an extent at least.

They're not really like the Glamrocks in that they have no real free will and just follow orders- but they're also not fully separate things, and not sub-branches either- they're just Glitchtraps spawns. Made to obey but can rebel if they want, like children

Our Ultimate Bronco Badlands Build

When it comes to enhancing the Ford Bronco, we spared no expense in creating the ultimate off-road beast that maintains its daily driving comfort. From performance upgrades to luxurious touches, our Ford Bronco is what we find to be the perfect balance between all the adventure capabilities while maintaining it’s reliable daily driving duties. While we say we spared no expense, (mainly the $10,000 suspension kit) we were able to achieve Raptor qualities, at a budget friendly price tag. The VR Tuned ECU Tuning Box and VR Performance Bronco Exhaust System we proper additions to make this the ultimate Jeep killer. Let’s jump into some finer details of this build!

Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 Suspension Kit –

To elevate the Bronco’s off-road capabilities, we incorporated the Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 Suspension Kit. This high-performance suspension system enhances ground clearance, improves handling, and provides a smooth ride on rough terrains. With improved articulation and damping, this kit ensures the Bronco conquers any obstacle that comes its way. Check out this amazing suspension package HERE. Not looking to make the jump into Stage 8? That is totally ok! Icon’s suspension packages are completely modular and give drivers the option to begin their build journey as low as a Stage 1 Kit and build as far as Stage 8 and beyond! Heck, you could even start with a IVD Spacer Kit to get your Bronco nice and level before replacing the stock suspension. This is one reason we love Icon Vehicle Dynamics and the mission to have performance solutions for all Bronco drivers! You can shop all Icon Vehicle Dynamics Supsension Kits for the Ford Bronco HERE.

  VR Forged D14 Wheels and Toyo 38″ Tires –

Equipped with VR Forged D14 wheels sized at 20 x 8.5, our Bronco exudes a commanding presence. These lightweight and durable wheels are designed to withstand the rigors of off-roading while adding a touch of aggressive style. Complementing the wheels are Toyo Open Country M/T 38″ tires, offering excellent traction and grip in various conditions, making the Bronco unstoppable on any trail. The forged wheel option is a great compliment to the massive 38″ tires to help save some weight. Did you know the weight difference between between at forged vs cast wheel can be about 2 lbs per wheel?! Factor in sprung weight and that can actually make a difference! Not to mention the strength of Forged wheels are no match for cast production wheels. Check out the D14 VR Forged Wheels for the Ford Bronco HERE.

VR Performance Front Bumper Light Bracket with Rigid Industries Adapt XP Lights –

To illuminate the path ahead, we integrated a VR Performance Front Bumper Light Bracket with four Rigid Industries Adapt XP lights. These powerful and versatile lights provide exceptional visibility, ensuring safe off-road adventures even during the darkest nights.

They are easily one of our favorite additions to this project! Check out the AlphaRex Bronco Headlights HERE!

VR Performance 3rd Brake Light Extension Kit –

Safety is paramount, even during intense off-roading. That’s why we added the VR Performance 3rd Brake Light Extension Kit.

Baer Brakes Big Brake System –

This Big Brake Kit was critical to ensuring we could get those beefy 38″ tires to stop when needed. We highly recommend this upgrade to anyone considering adding larger tires to their setup! You can check out that Big Brake Kit by Baer Brakes HERE

[showyoumyfavoriteobsession]

I'm slowly making my way through the Half-Life Alyx commentary track and man... game dev seems so cool. I know it's a lot of work but the problem-solving seems so interesting. If only I could focus enough to learn one (1) game engine

[denpamen]

Dolph Laserhawk’s body language in episode 3 and why it’s actually really interesting:

To start, I want to point something out. I’ve seen the scene between Dolph and Alex construed as romantic, or Dolph considering reconsidering getting back with Alex, but I cannot help but believe that Dolph is in fact, absolutely terrified.

This glossy, wide-eyed look is not the look we got from Dolph in episode one when he was feeling romantic, content, and relaxed. When this happens, his face, eyebrows, and eyes are Relaxed.

In fact, we only see him make this face in episode 3 and only ever in the presence of Alex after Jades death in episode three. He is even frozen enough to give Alex time to lean in and kiss him. And you might be asking, who cares, he’s scared of Alex? So what?

Well, there’s a multitude of reasons why Dolph’s body language matters so much. But the first thing my mind immediately goes to is the difference before and after Jade’s death. How does he react around Alex before Jade’s death? Well it’s simple, tunnel vision around revenge just gives him anger, nothing else, no fear, no sadness, just anger. He doesn’t care about anything else at this point.

This shift, especially following the scene where Dolph looks at Jade’s blood on his hands (pointed out by another user, I’d link the post but I can’t find it.), shows an incredibly important shift in Dolph’s character. Not just that he starts to give a damn, but this forces him to look inward. He was raised to be a cog in the machine, nothing but a crutch to Eden’s or Alex’s plans, nothing he did ever mattered or changed his inevitable fate, and it still doesn’t, but it changed others’. His callousness and inconsiderate actions killed Jade. This is the first time he’s been hurtful and cruel without there being a puppet master, this is the first time where instead of being helpless, he realizes he can hurt people with just his words and actions and not his gun.

He’s afraid. He starts to care.

This starts the chain of events that makes Dolph care enough to break out of the VR and save bullfrog, on top of being genuine to Sarah, even touching her shoulder (wow!). The change in his eyes, all by themselves, represent this change.

However, there is something much much deeper I’d like to talk about. Something that I actually haven’t seen pointed out. One that is integral to Dolph himself, rather than the overarching plot.

Why is Dolph so scared of Alex? Genuinely, why? He’s so much stronger than Alex, they aren’t dating anymore, why is this a fear we only ever see in his eyes when he sees Alex? I mean we’ve seen Dolph scared before, but it’s not the same at all if you ask me.

When he looks scared in those scenes in episode 3, it’s in a way that makes him look almost, small. Why?

Because what Alex did to Dolph, all of it, is unique to Alex. What we are seeing isn’t just fear, the reason he shrinks away from Alex’s touch, the reason he gets that specific look in his eyes isn’t just fear. It’s trauma. It’s that traumatized boy who was taken away at a young age inside of him, it is not a grown man who’s afraid of pain and death, it’s a boy who’s scared of being lied to and having his feelings hurt again. This is something really, only Alex could ever bring back out. The fear after Jade’s death only just cracks his shell.

I think this stems from the unique dynamic of someone who’s been manipulated and emotionally abused and the perpetrator. When one is abused, especially in the ways Dolph was, even when there is no possibility of being hurt and abused again, the fear lingers, not of the abuse but the memory to be relived. The look of their eyes and the feeling of their hands is world ending, it guts you inside and out in a much worse way than dying ever could. (Especially since Dolph tries to get hit with a missile right after this). Dolph is terrified because every time he has to look in Alex’s eyes, he has to relive it. No pain or threat of death can recreate the raw emotion around years of lies and manipulation.

Listen, I know Dolph leaves a lot to be desired in terms of background story and writing, but I think the way his character shows trauma is mind blowing. It is very subtle, in a releastic hurtful way. Seeing Dolph Laserhawk, who’s not even scared of death, shrink in terror at the touch of someone who hurt him, is a good parallel to how many people would genuinely rather die than go through it again. Dolph touched my soul a lot, and the body language in this episode was beautifully woven to tell his story. I hope we get more of this in season 2. (God forbid I even discuss episode 4.)
