nothing ever excites me more than a spontaneous genshin, or more particularly, mondstadt discovery. i sat diluc upon the barbatos statue as a nice spot to go afk on without being interrupted by repetitive idle animations and voicelines (sorry diluc, this is nothing personal). my volume was turned up more than regularly by accident, and my in-game music was off despite how much i like the original game soundtrack. aNYHOW- i was about to go afk when i heard some strange noises that i didn't recall hearing in mondt before. it made me pause and turn my volume up even more. in the video above, it's kind of hard to discern the brief sounds over the noise of the wind up on the statue and in mondstadt in general, but when the wind dies down a little, you can distinctly hear voices of people, and what shocked me the most – neighs of horses. i have no clue whether it is just me discovering this only now, after 4 years of playing this godforsaken game and clearly not having paid enough attention to mondstadt's sfx before, but i still felt the need to share this terribly interesting tidbit in case there's other clueless mondstadt enthusiasts like me.
#what makes me so curious about these sfx is my inability to discern the meaning behind them#the sounds in the clip can only be heard during the night‚ which inserts various questions into my head#first and foremost‚ the sounds obviously confirm the existence of horses in mondstadt. the horses that AREN'T THERE in the current timeline#the horses that PHYSICALLY have no space for them within the city‚ but that's a problem of a different kind that i want to touch upon later#what makes their situation even more curious is that they're only heard during the night‚ with no trace of them during the day#so‚ my question is – surely they wouldn't add this specific sound if they didn't plan on introducing the horses in-game at some point?#even if there was no mentions of horses in genshin whatsoever‚ except in the manga which is set prior to the game's events#aka the timeline before the beginning or during the early stages of varka's expedition considering seamus's presence in mondstadt#and if that is so‚ is the peculiar activity of horses only at night a result of them being out of the city alongside the kof during the day#next curious thing to me are the voices and shouts‚ most likely in chinese‚ that i cannot discern and that i found nothing about online yet#however‚ in my opinion‚ the shouts seem too loud for the peaceful‚ post-stormterror crisis atmosphere of mondstadt#most of the words sound as if they're spoken through a megaphone‚ repeatedly‚ like call-outs to something or somebody#and not at all like shouts of people‚ regular citizens‚ from within their homes‚ or those of random drunkards on the streets at night#during daytime‚ the chatter is more coherent and distinctly chinese‚ words they clearly didn't bother translating to other voice-overs#another random and interesting sound is of something akin to a bell chiming‚ and i don't mean the big church bell tolling like in the clip#i am eager for feedback on this‚ for any sort of help or translation to sate my curiosity#and i'm also very much open to ideas or even random interpretations as i am overflowing with them‚ too#mondstadt#old mondstadt#genshin impact#genshin brainrot#genshin headcanon#genshin ost#genshin help#wilhelminaesque

Propaganda under the cut. If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!
Vector to the Heavens:
this track. is just absolutely gorgeous. its a boss version of xion's theme, musique pour la tristesse de xion, and just like that track it uses other character themes, namely kairi and naminé's, and it feels so utterly powerful. its the sort of boss track that makes you not want to fight the boss, but you know you have to.

Decided to finally make this post.
Hello, I'm Night. A 25+ year old roleplayer with 10+ years of experience (I started young). She/They/Whatever.
I'm looking for serious roleplaying partners to help me get back into it after a 5 year long burnout due to getting a degree in Game design. The roleplaying will take place on Discord just to keep it private and orderly.
I would like to only rp with people over 20+ years of age, that can keep it professional and act mature. I have experienced getting ghosted too many times and I'm getting fed up. I understand if the other needs a break, isn't feeling it, is busy or need a change. But for the love of all, don't fucking ghost! Communicate!
I'm pretty flexible and chill. Open for most things as long as they aren't outright gross or illegal. I'm okay with any type of rp as long as it's somewhat serious. Fluff, angst, action, horror, smut/NSFW or even original plots. I will say that I'm a filthy shipper and mostly do CCxCC and MxM. But I can make some exceptions. I do have some ocs I would like to rp with, but since im a professional character designer (No kidding) I'm very protective of them and will only use them if you earn my trust.
Fandoms/ships I would like to rp from (The bold ones are the ones I prefer to play)
Ivan X Till (Alien stage)
Dazai x Chuuya (Bungo stray dogs)
Seto x Joey (Yu-Gi-Oh) (Also Ancient Egypt arc)
Hermos x Critias (Yu-gi-oh. Atlantis arc)
Dark magician/Mahad x Dark magician of Black Chaos (Yu-Gi-Oh)
002 x 004 (Cyborg 009)
Kalim x Jamil (Twisted wonderland)
Semi Eita x Shirabu (Haikyuu)
Oikawa x Iwaizumi (Haikyuu)
Kyo x Iori (King of fighters)
Prospector x Mercenary (Identity V)
Yuu x Yosuke (Persona 4)
Akira/Ren x Ryuji (Persona 5)
Wei Wuxian x Lan Zhan (Grandmaster of demonic cultivation)
Richter x Alucard (Castlevania SotN)
Other fandoms I'm interested in: - Legend of Zelda - Megaman - Castlevania - Kingdom Hearts - Final Fantasy (1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 15 and XIV) - Cookie Run Kingdom -Monkie Kid - Dragon Quest - Fire emblem (fates, Awakaning, Radiant dawn and Path of Radiance)
Notes:
I'm slightly word-blind, so please excuse some weird grammar.
Communication is key!
This is just for fun, nothing personal. But we can have friendly chats, no worries.
Be clear about your boundaries and respect mine.
I'm from Norway, but I'm on sick-leave so I got time (Also a night owl).
If I don't hear from you within a month, I'll just assume you ghosted me. So people, tell me if you get really busy or need a long break if you still wish to keep contact with me. I'll be understanding and won't ask for details.
I try to stay as close to canon as possible, but there are rooms for headcanons or detail filling.
If you are interested, DM me here. Thank you. 💜 - Night

No but fr Jean CAN NOT find out and he will make sure of it (it also him being unable to give himself credits and thats how these achievements end up in idk diluc or Barbatos corner) but she isn’t dumb she is just overworked like she feels there is something up but no time for that and just trust Kaeya.
Not Kaeya solving their severe understaffed problem by employing neighboring spy 😭😭
“We had a problem and i Took care of the problem. don’t ask me how it happened, let us thank Barbatos ” kaeya to jean probably when she asked where did all the treasure hoarders go. and maybe she thinks it was Diluc and wow its so nice of Sir Diluc how did he do it? but he is actually making juice and complaining to his employees about war or smth meanwhile Yelan is trying to hold Kaeya the favor that she did help him or something and he says they once sent Noelle to liyue snd she just helped them there so they should call it even idk the whole concept is hilarious to me
context - https://www.tumblr.com/gold-rhine/766295051743674368
Tumblr media
but like yeah, i think this kind of tricks would fit with kaeya exactly, like he swindlled fatui for money by organizing "conference" and how he tricked traveler into helping without direct asking, etc. he knows jean should NOt learn about it under any circumstances bc she will try to pay liyue back. meanwhile after archon quests kaeya meets yelan and is like "hey so you know how traveler landed in mond, so they are technically from here, and then they went and saved liyue, so i think actually its YOU who owes mond for help and ..." and he then he dodges bc yelan is already shooting him in the head sdfghjk

☆ EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS / SIGNAL B👀ST☆
Hi, nice to meet ya! I'm Leon and my life has rapidly fell apart since August 2024. This was due to my dad's sudden decline from what we thought was from MS, but from a rare stage 4 colon cancer.
With that, there's a threat of homelessness for my mom, who has sacrificed her life for my dad and our entire family.
UPDATE (6/1/25): I appreciate your help! I was able to find a new job but still would appreciate funds to help us pay for medical bills and my father's hospice/nursing stay.
○ WHAT WE NEED ○
- About 5,000 USD minimum. This will cover moving expenses at the very least.
● WHAT I'M OFFERING ●
- $3+ doodles through my Kof-fi or DM me!
- $5 to $10 messy colored sketch commissions (some examples here)
- Virtual nerd yard sale through Mercari (I got a Daft Punk ita bag, keychains and all sorts of fun things will be uploaded over-time.)
- A discount for stickers through my sticker shop here. Discount code is: SOS2025 [I have a LOT of sticker designs. Shipping is forever and always free. Waterbottle friendly and weather resistant.]
- Novel writing critiques, beta reading and sensitivity reading (DM me but know my pricing is extremely cheap with This Economy, I don't want to break anyone's bank)
- Business stuff such as cheap logo designs, email templates, commercial t-shirt designs, business cards, I can help with that.
♡ IF YOU JUST WANNA HELP ♡
- GoxFundxMe here lol 🚑
- Donate to my Kofi ☕️
- I have CashApp, Venmo and Zelle, but I feel more comfortable sharing that via DM.
♡ BOTTOM LINE ♡
I really sincerely appreciate your help. My goal is to cover the finances so that my family can be able to focus on grieving my father and have some peace.
If you can't donate, I seriously appreciate any reblogs and signal boosts. The support I've been given from strangers has drastically boosted my faith in humanity so thank you!

Hi! So I'm in a band and we we have a smoke machine we bring out on stage, and our drummer's Gastly keeps getting inside it and making black smoke. We all think it looks cool, but is it safe? We don't want to get our fans, you know, sick or killed or anything.
A'ight so, the gas of a ghastly CAN induce feinting, nausea, and suffocation, BUT and this is the key point here, this is only the case when the pokemon feels threatened. It is otherwise harmless to inhale if the ghastly is well cared for, looked after and feeling secure and happy.
I'd suggest testing it without a crowd, and checking the toxicity levels in air by hiring or sending off canistered air collected during a test set, and sending it to a Environmental Protection Agency local to you. They may take a few weeks to get you results, and often can offer this service for a reasonable price.
If the results come back clean enough, then i'd see no issue with it. its not like its new to use pokemon for performances, pyrotechnics and visual effects are so much easier to apply with trained team members.
You can buy air quality meters too, which may be worth investing in, to make sure those levels stay low through performances.
If the Ghastly has a good disposition, and doesnt panic or stress during sets, it shoudlnt cause a problem, this is especially evident if the pokemon is not overly powerful or highly trained. even if things go a bit wrong, a low level mon like this will only cause some nausea, not anything more severe.
I'd also run this by your venues owner if you rent out of perform in various loactions, as their insurances may not cover this kind of effect during acts.
Run it by your drummer and his pokemon, and test to make sure this pokemon is calm and sturdy during practice for a few sessions.
Its worth noting if any of you are looking for a counter measure for the toxicity levels, should on the off chance they spike, some koffing have been trained to purify air even before their Galarian evolution. Dotaku Labs have been a cornerstone for training these pokemon for rehoming and work forces, utilising their latent ability to clean air, if trained right. We have a few up for adoption most of the time, and they have wonderful personliaties. We however do understand that not everyone can take up a new pokemon, so its not a necessity, just an option should one of you feel like youre capable of taking on a koffing.
Long story short, if the pokemon is calm and happy to do this, and handles the performances without fear, there shouldnt be any issues at all, as their toxicity only increases when stressed or defneding themselves.

Is anyone else obsessed with the idea of young frederica or is that just me... I don't want to be alone guyzzzz
My headcannons for Frederica:
Frederica Gunnhildr(1-12): >9 Frederica I feel was about as any normal child, but I think because she had severe mommy issues she quickly learned that emotions do no good so she resorted to planning her life out instead― <9 Frederica already had her entire life planned out, she had planned every single thing, her ideal life down to the worst case scenarios and what she would do of those occured. At this point in time she had a fascination with becoming the Grandmaster(particularly because that was everything her mother expected of her, due to the fact she couldn't become the grandmaster herself and put those expectations on Frederica in a very harmful way, so due to this she naturally believed if she would get the chair all her problems would be fixed.) so she would develop meticulous plans on how to achieve the chair.
Frederica Gunnhildr(10-23): Broad stages of her life but I'm classifying everything together because this period is when she was trying the hardest for the chair― >16 fred was mostly focused on training and was indifferent towards pretty much everything, she had very few friends, by very few I mean two, Varka and Crepus, yay! Now let's explore her dynamics with them―
VARKA: Fred and Varka have a very complicated relationship dynamic, being competitors for the chair and having an unhealthy amount of rivalry, but they're the closest things to a best friend either of them have and are obviously close whether fredie herself would like to accept it or not.
CREPUS: Her and Crepus are also childhood friends, but they don't have any sort of rivalry because their paths are different from eachother, much of their dynamic comes from small, unplanned hangouts at the tavern(no underage drinking!!) and gossiping about random things over a glass of juice, or wine(when of age).
FVC is what I will call the trio, fvc at around this age >16 got into a lot of trouble, especially the fv part, Crepus atleast stopped them, or tried to. Needless to stay they needed a lot of healing.
<16, a little bit of a turning point because this is when Fredie and Varka started getting titles and started getting assigned leadership roles in the KOF, and at around this time Crepus was also given more responsibilities at the Tavern― This made fvc a whole lot closer because they were all ranting about their workplaces instead of random stuff. This also bought a big change in Fred and Varka's dynamic, bringing a whole lot more unhealthy rivalry in, because both of them want the chair and neither of them are ready to give it up, this made both of them respectively closer to Crepus because both of them have no one else to rant about the other to.
Need I mention I think Frederica was extremely beautiful? And by extremely beautiful, I mean EXTREMLY , the kind of beauty that makes you drop dead on the spot if she was to approach you, Mondstadts bachelor's and bachelorette's were smitten, the only thing that added to her ungodly beauty was how rude she was, everyone in Mondstadt developed a humiliation kink because of her, Fred still thinks it was Gunnhildr privilege and not pretty privilege(it was pretty privilege) and do I need to mention Jean is a carbon copy of her? The only reason people don't drop to their knees infront of her is because she's nice, and all the people crushing on Fred got married, had children, passed down their humiliation kink to the bachelor's and bachelorette's of today.
23 was a big age for Frederica, she lost the chair, tried to jump off a cliff(plan unsuccessful) and got married! I'll make a whole other post specifically for her 23rd year of life and my headcannons for it.
At 23, she gets married out of spite, and at 24 she realizes, hey, I should have a child! So she does at 25, and voila! Jean! Frederica might not have shown it but she was unreasonably happy that Jean looked so much like her, for her it felt like a new start, like she could live her life again, most of her maternity leave was spent just rambling to her baby about the people she hates and what she should do so that she doesn't end up like her.
People mistake Frederica's strictness for abuse, which is not the case! Fred was not a good mother, nor was she a bad mother, she couldn't show affection easily at all, not even to her children, her love language is gift giving, so all of Jean's childhood, Fred got her tiny little gifts every time she would go out, especially books because she felt awkward teaching Jean about morals herself, so she just bought a ton of books with good morals for children and that is where Jean developed her love for reading. Once Jean was 8 or maybe 9, I feel the strict training regime really started, Fredie put Jean through a slightly watered down version of her training routine in the hopes that if she starts early, she'll become better than me and I can live my dreams through her life, this is the reason that Jean feels the need to overwork herself so much today amd this was not a good thing!! But contrary to popular belief I don't believe Fred would ever stop Jean from going out and playing, that one exempt from the game is Jean reading of her own will, seeing the children playing outside and and a realization hitting her that, oh, this is why mother trains me, to protect people like she does when I grow up! Not, oh, I wish mother let me out to play as well! Because there is no longing described in that scene, Jean could olay when she wanted and read what she wanted and do what she wanted, she just had to stick to her very strict regime. Ahem, Freddie isn't the ideal mother, but Jean does not have mommy issues she is very clearly a mommy's girl.
Barbara and Fredie weren't close when she was a child because of the divorce but as Barbara became around 10 or 11 I think her mother would find excuses to talk to her under the pretext of giving her stuff, they still have a lot to work on but even if she isn't the best mother and has hurt both of her children, she really does love them and I think she looks at them like an extension of herself.
Bonus: Frederica loves seeing Jean try on her old dresses, and she can't wait for Barbara to grow up and get the proportions in order to try on the dresses, which is why she will sometimes make miniature versions of her dressed and give them to Barb just to see how it looks on her.
Will talk more about 23 in later post.

HELLO! Loving your writing ♡ and you're having a BEST day and taking care ◔ ⌣ ◔ Jean, Eula, and Furina having their S/O just sadly died and years later they see S/O reincarnation in next different body but still same face and S/O don't remember past life they have. How they will react to that?
(Eee!!! Ty for the request!!! I love that so much!)
A Never ending flame
Tumblr media
Jean
•When Jean first lost you she was devastated, she didnt know what to do, seeing your body under a destroyed house, only your arm visible with the bracelet she gave you covered in blood
•You met while you were a KoF as you trained non stop together..now thats all gone she wasnt fast enough..
•She became sloppy on her work and she because more depressed by losing what means most to her
•When she finds you again she immediately gets the motivation to try again, to befriend you, fall in love again, be happy again
•When you both meet you instantly click she knows what you like, not like, foods, drinks, animals
•She always checks up on you and offers for you to be her roommate!
•When she develops a whole new crush she’s hesitant, what if you die again? What if she loses you again?
•Finally after asking lisa on what to do she finally speaks up confessing to you again
•If you say yes she would be so happy hugging you tightly, not ever wanting to let go she loves you dearly and is more protective of you to not lose you
•but if you said NO then she would understand nodding sadly walking away tears swelling in her eyes but not daring for them to go down her face, maybe in the next life you two will meet again
Tumblr media
Eula
•You dying was like she was getting split apart, no..no no no! This cant be! You cant be dying..your in your arms…lifeless..and bleeding
•You two met when she ran away from home sticking by her side the only person that kept her going on if she was there if she could’ve went in front of you it should’ve been her WHY WASNT IT HER INSTEAD??!
•She got vengeance on the person no THING that took you away she was violent to anyone she became distant she was so different without you and it was torture for her
•Once she saw you walking down the busy streets in Mondstat she was in awe falling in love all over again she needed to make things right..
•She came up to you while you were in the tavern striking up a conversation with you making you to close just how you were before
•She soon confessed with flowers, chocolates, and a bracelet like the one you had before you died as she confessed she was shy about it trying to be professional and not break down
•If you said yes she would smile happily giving you the gifts kissing your forehead inviting you to a dance as the sunset go down hugging you closer than ever kissing your face for hours on end
•If you said no, tears just tears bursting out like a water fall as she would nod understanding still giving you the gifts pushing away any kind of help you tried to offer it was foolish to think the gods would bless someone like her
Tumblr media
Furina
•You were accused for something you didnt do, getting the death sentence she could hear your scared screams screaming, BEGGING that you didnt do it
•The last thing she remember herself running to your lifeless body on stage crying, screaming, begging for you to wake up, comfort her screaming at Neuvillettefor not hearing her out, her people for laughing and cheering at your death the guards and Wriothesley for falsely accusing you, her beloved.. onoy then you would get proven innocent
•Furina would sulk in her room bed rotting, you were the reason why she was functioning if you werent there then you will be? No one could get to her without her yelling at them
•When she saw you again, your beautiful face again she was on cloud 9 putting on her usual behavior introducing herself to you again
•She would take you to theaters, cafes, walks anything that made you smile before as she would fall in love all over again smiling, maybe she could finally be happy again
•She brought you to a hill top with your favorite foods, drinks and sweets making it as it could ever be trying to make it to be that your happy enough
•When she confessing shes flustered, embarrassed and also shy aswell, if you said yes she would jump over to you hugging you, kissing your face, hand everywhere staying on your lap feeding you the food she brought to you
•If you said No? Oh dear your funny! Thats not a option Furina refuses she threatens you she WILL make your life a living hell she doesnt care you WILL be her significant other, there is not a NO option silly you..
(Finished!! Hope you enjoyed!!^^ tags: @jadestone2 )

Why I view/write Kaeya as living an inherently feminine experience
(reposting this essay from twitter)
This entire post will be a long string of observations and headcanons surrounding why I believe Kaeya’s story is an inherently feminine experience. It includes canon interactions but also explanations as to why I write him in a certain way in my works. Also, I would like to establish that with ‘feminine’ I am not explicitly talking about gender expression, but more so the societal expectations and gender roles that have been put on women. By this definition, a feminine experience is not exclusive to women only.
Starting in his childhood, Kaeya is described as being gentle and polite by Adelinde (1) whilst Diluc was described as more rambunctious. As they grew up, Kaeya, being the more reserved one, seemed to always stay in Diluc’s shadow (2).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The question is whether this was by choice or something that was imposed upon him. In a way, I think it’s both. To survive, he made sure not to cause trouble or speak out of turn, listening to and pleasing the authoritative figures in his life instead.
After Diluc was out of the picture and out of the KoF, Kaeya was given a completely different role. He was expected to lead now, his previous persona would not suffice in an environment like this. He had to be respected, and in order to gain the respect of his new subordinates, he had to change. He became louder and more visible, he had to learn how to stand his ground. This isn’t only reflected in his personality, but also his appearance. A big silhouette that exudes status with the gold accents and fur coat; it demands attention and communicates confidence to outsiders.
Kaeya as we know him has a very big personality. It’s hard to definitively say whether he enjoys the attention he gets from outsiders. Where does the act stop and his true self begin?
In his hangout, we can see him scurrying away with the traveler once he starts getting approached and praised for his on-stage performance in Port Ormos (3).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
From the way he treats the interactions, it seems that he can humor these interactions when needed, but does not particularly enjoy them. There seems to be a dichotomy between the way he presents himself and how wishes other people to perceive him, and his true desires. I don’t think this means that he completely dislikes the way he presents himself. After having played this part for so long, it would make sense that at least part of it melds into his true self, but it does imply that his change post-fight isn’t 100% a case of ‘flourishing into his true self’ as his Vision story might suggest.
On that note, the attention Kaeya seems to get from bystanders seems to be something he does not seem /entirely/ comfortable with. Besides the fan interactions in Port Ormos, Kaeya also mentions in his hangout that he got approached by a group of mercenaries to dance (4).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The subtext suggests they were flirting with him, and whilst it is possible Kaeya genuinely did not realize this, I don’t believe someone like him would be oblivious to the implications of the interaction. He doesn’t name for what it was, plays it off lightly, and moves on. 
(To be fair, you can also take him at his word for this interaction. It really depends on how much you want to believe him. But also, my mans is not smiling in these?? At all??)
Now this goes into headcanon territory but I believe Kaeya is very aware of how people look at him. He’s been described to be eye-catching in his character story 5 (5), good-looking by multiple NPCs, even the traveler calls him handsome (6).
Tumblr media
Point is: Kaeya looks good! He knows it, but as we’ve established before, he does not always like it. Despite his own discomfort, he still believes he can use this to his advantage. Because as we know, for him, the ends justify the means (7).
Tumblr media
Perhaps he plays up his charm a little because he knows what it will get him, or because people will underestimate his true nature if he keeps it up. 
So for my personal interpretation: he’s ‘flirty’, not because he likes it, but because it helps him get things done. The reactions he gets out of it may or may not disgust him a little, but his sense of self-worth is not enough to stop him from using these tactics to get ahead.
Lastly, I would like to discuss how Kaeya, despite everything that has happened to him, does not outwardly express any of his anger frequently. At least, not in an obvious sense. To keep up appearances and to maintain his image, he never bursts out in anger, shouts, or yells. He is always hyperaware of how other people view him, and being angry is simply not appropriate. He remains composed in the presence of others even if he might want to shout or be angry. 
In short, the performative aspects of Kaeya’s character reflect a very specific part of the female experience to me. Always keeping in check with what other people’s expectations are, not wanting to take up too much space when he was younger but having to learn how to take up more space to gain other people’s respect when he got older, dealing with unwanted attention but not voicing complaints and dismissing them to not make a big deal out of it; these are all parts of it. 
All of this is super self-indulgent so don’t take it too seriously~ Just wanted to justify why I think he gets to sit with the girls :D
