#about orobashi’s legacy

[aratinarainstorm]

another one of my favorite genshin impact headcanons is the idea that kokomi is secretly a deep sea eldritch horror, sent by an ancient force to avenge the death of orobashi

this is most definitely not canon but imo it’s a really compelling idea. sangonomiya kokomi, divine priestess of watatsumi island, grace and elegance and benevolence incarnate, is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. a monster in disguise, risen from the barren depths of the sea, with one ultimate goal in mind.

make the shogun and her people pay.

every drop of blood, every life lost to the war, is more nourishment for her god. the shogunate’s soldiers will be fine prey for orobashi, and if the people of watatsumi die too? so be it. it doesn’t matter who dies. all that matters is that, in the end, what remains of orobashi is sated

i also like the idea that kujou sara is the only one who knows this. she’s the only person who has ever seen kokomi as she truly is, and as such, she dreads the thought of facing her on the battlefield. she knows that whatever demon hides behind that elegant facade will strike her down in a heartbeat. because all that lives, and all that comes from raiden ei, is nothing more than blood to water orobashi’s fields — and kokomi? she is no different. she simply exists to ensure her god is fed.

also before the war maybe kokomi goes hunting every now and then to drag the bodies of pirates or wayward sailors or shogunate samurai either to the depths of the sea, or to watatsumi. because after all, she is the divine priestess, and do priestesses not sacrifice too?

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

hello it's "sacrifice your own memories for the bija" anon and in light of the recent Archon Quest, i have now evolved to "sacrifice yourself and let the world forget to cleanse the corruption" anon

Imagine stumbling upon this forbidden knowledge, perhaps accidentally finding the original uncensored copy of the book that had gotten orobashi killed (not the one in yae publishing, the one the abyss order is after)

Imagine stumbling home, voice lost, mind numbing and heart palpitating as your moth companion frets over you. his presence helps curb the corruption of the forbidden knowledge , perhaps his abyssal bonds and presence is what keeps the corruption in?

Imagine the two of you traveling to Sumeru to ask for the god of wisdom's help only to be told that your presence, your entire being and knowledge of such dangerous things are a tumor to this world.

"The only way to stop this, from what the Akasha and I have concluded, is to remove your presence entirely."

Foul Legacy will fight her like I'm sorry nahida but he won't let you!

But ofc if it is the fate of the world, you decided to once again, let yourself be erased.

"This is a world where you live, afterall" are the words you say to the whimpering masked man.

> whether by some means like being an abyssal creature or tearing down Celestia to find a way and remember or he forgets entirely up to you man anyway all I'm saying is that quest made me so sad

anon who hurt you? i mean this is fantastic but who hurt you?? /lh

Childe hugs you tight until the end, holding you and crying because he knows when he wakes up you'll be gone forever. he doesn't want you to leave- he desperately wants you to give him permission to just pick you up and run away from Sumeru- but you just smile and hug him back, one of your hands in Nahida's as she uses her power to erase you. your other hand brushes Childe's face, pressed against his cheek as he hiccups and sobs, holding you like a lifeline, and you utter your final words

"I love you, Ajax..."

the next time he awakens, he's confused by the tear streaks on his face and the way his claws are clenched into the blanket Zhongli gave him. why did he feel so sad? had he been crying? for what reason? he shakes the haze from his mind and goes about his day like he always does, in the safe haven of Zhongli's home

but Childe can't shake the feeling that something's missing. it's peculiar- this is how life always was, yet it feels off. for a while he's able to ignore the feeling by sleeping or reading or poking around the house, but he feels incomplete, empty, and whenever he sleeps he finds himself grasping a dream that he can't remember, but it always slips away. it's so frustrating, and he lets out a low growl. Zhongli's confused at Foul Legacy's changed behavior, but he attributes it to the seasons changing, perhaps

Childe stares out the window, the breeze ruffling his lavender fluff at he gazes at the ocean. there's a book in his lap, open but unread- he can't bear reading anything about Sumeru without feeling a heartbreaking sadness and visceral hatred- and idly Foul Legacy watches yellow gingko leave drift past. a brilliant green leaf flutters towards him in the wind, and with a small sparkle lands on his forehead and disappears into a burst of flowers

"I love you, Ajax..."

Childe snaps his head around so fast he nearly gets whiplash, eye wide and heart pounding in his chest, the memory lingering as he latches onto it with his claws and refuses to let go. he swipes his plated cheeks- is he crying again? and lets out a shaky breath, because now he knows that he was right, something is missing, something is wrong

because he's heard that voice before, full of affection and sweetness, the mysterious one who loves him and who he loves back, who he will find again

[sniper-childe]

since my friend keeps sending KEVIN as Kamisato Ayato edits i have this not-so-crack theory about the Kamisato Clan being Orobashi's actual legacy because of the parallels between the Sire of the World Serpent himself and the Serpent God struck down by the Almighty Shogun.

also also.

cryo HYDRO CLAYMORE AYATO???? 👀

really though. make him Hydro, miHoYo. we have enough Cryo characters as it is hhhhh. AND Orobashi is a Sea God!

[badlydrawngenshin]

im kinda upset about inazuma rn bc whenever im not being struck by lightning and banging my head over puzzles, i eventually find a new thing to do but guess what? more puzzles, more barriers

and i know i can just research but its so annoying to stop the gameplay to research every single puzzle aaa :( I've barely played inazuma in comparison to other people and im sad bc i want to but then i get lazy and give up to try to find something easy and never do haha anyways sorry the spam you can delete it :((

Yeah, inazuma has its ups and downs, but I think it’s a nice change of pace. Of course I have some stuff I’m frustrated about in inazuma too, like some areas are literally locked behind world quests (some which takes actual real days to progress).

I think some parts could use some tweaking, like some of the npc dialogues are way too long (some don’t even contain any important info or lore either, it’s just banter???) and u still get hit by lightning when ur locked into a conversation, and maybe the puzzles need to be explained better. Some quests don’t even have details either (like the one where u find the 4 tablets or the collecting 3 doctor notes)

But on the plus side, It does prevent people from speedrunning the new region a little, which has always been a problem I think. Inazuma is one of genshin’s biggest major updates in a while, so they wanna at least have people enjoy exploring. I remember I finished exploring the Golden Apple archipelago in literally?? The 3rd day? And afterwards all I did was just sometimes check in to do the event. So I think that’s something they kept in mind with.

There’s a world quest for the lightning called Orobashi’s legacy, which I recommend u doing first, so it’ll be easier to explore. Tatara Tales is also another that I recommend doing so u can go inside the furnace without dealing with the constant electro dmg in the long run. If u have any questions, ur welcome to ask :)

[gaylaughingdoves]

I really love how you draw Dottore! he's my favorite character in genshin- do you have any hcs/ideas for how he interacts with the other harbingers? I find other people's readings of him really interesting!

take care, have a good day whenever you read this!

Aaa!! Thank you!! <3 :D And yes I absolutely have hcs about him and the other harbingers!!

(I'm gonna toss them under a cut because I have a tendency to ramble on and use a whole lotta Words-)

Alright, so Signora and Dottore:

Extraordinarily chaotic and evil sibling dynamic

They gossip, like, A Lot, it's mainly Signora talking while Dottore fidgets and works with whatever he's working on, but he gets invested in it pretty easily

Now they also can and will rat each other out when they want, absolute snitches the both of them, they find immense joy in it, however. They also know a decent number of each other's secrets and they aren't going to tell those unless given a proper bribe (which neither have received just yet)

Signora and Dottore also both do Not like Childe

They have bonded over this

Childe is gaslight girlboss gatekept from everything when Signora and Dottore are involved

Also, Signora usually isn't phased by whatever Dottore keeps in his labs, because, yk, she might be 500+ years old, which Dottore appreciates because usually people are constantly on edge in his labs

It's a pain for him to actually keep staff (alive and employed), but having another Harbinger there (even one with a reputation like Signora's) grants the people working for him an, admittedly false, sense of security. Nothing could go bad when two Harbingers are here, right?

So Actually many many things can go wrong with these two in a room with Dottore's experiments

Like don't trust them around fire? Ever? Signora knows her way around it a little bit too well to be safe, and Dottore just likes watching how things burn under different conditions soo a recipe for Arson, that's what that is

Signora also thinks Dottore is hilarious when he's angry, and Dottore just likes being antagonistic, which leads to a whole lotta bickering. It's usually lighthearted but it can get serious and it can get serious fast

But overall Dottore just sorta sees her as an older sibling-ish person? He knows if he lets something slip she's not going to go straight to the other Harbingers to gossip. Which he likes because he can just go off and rant about how stupid something is and she'll just use it as blackmail material, which he thinks is better than like. Having everyone know how much he hates a certain piece of old machinery or something-

However, he doesn't trust her too much, because?? Who in the Harbingers actually trusts each other???

Also he and Signora have Transmasc/Transfem solidarity I will not be elaborating

Dottore and Childe on the other hand:

Pure hatred from Childe's side, he straight-up despises Dottore.

After all, this is a guy whose family is one of the most important things to him, his siblings are children, children who do not know the weight of the world just yet.

And Dottore is the guy who is... well. He's known to treat kids like nothing but a base to experiment on

Now Dottore on the other hand literally just wants to dissect Childe, he's gone absolutely crazy trying to get permission to at least run tests.

I mean, What else was he going to do when the kid Pulcinella found on the side of the road started turning into an entire 10ft abyss creature??? That's part of his whole line of work!! This is literally something he studies!!!

Needless to say, he was not allowed to study Childe's Foul Legacy in any regard and it ticked him off

So yeah, just overall they Hate each other, they argue a lot, like, if the Tsarita wasn't there at meetings they would turn into fistfights

However, they both drink whatever the Genshin equivalent of Monster is

This is not a bonding point, they fight over flavors

Sounds like a dumb thing to fight over but Dottore can't stand Childe's and Childe can't stand Dottore's

This has lead to other Harbingers swapping their flavors around because they think it's entertaining to watch them fight

It actually got to the point where the Tsaritsa herself had to order them to stop switching the flavors around because Dottore and Childe are already prepped to murder each other at any moment, they don't need to make it worse

So Dottore just reserves himself to snapping at Childe with the annoyance of someone who is being blocked from something that could very easily be a big break that's being dangled over his head

For real though, Childe has so much potential for Dottore's experiments but Dottore isn't allowed to do so much as study what effect that the transformation has on Childe afterward, and he hates it

But he can't lose his funding from the Tsaritsa so he stays quiet and angrily compiles whatever information he can

Anyway, Dottore and Scaramouche:

Overall neutral actually?

Like they don't see each other much, with Dottore usually knee and elbow deep in some messed up science stuff, and Scara's work taking him out and about a lot of the time

They bicker and stuff, but overall?? They kinda just avoid talking to each other?

Sometimes, rarely, they do get put on a mission with each other, but when they happens they usually get along pretty well!

They actually have a good time snooping around places, what with Dottore's practically uncontrollable curiosity being easily triggered if there's... oh idk, dragon bones, or old machines, or abyss-related ruins, or anything in the typical Vindagyeran Architecture Style, and Scaramouche just likes to snoop and sneak around for fun, for funsies

There's been a few times when the both of them have bonded over chaotically messing something up (didn't impact them, but sure did impact whoever was living in those houses) and laughed over it, grabbed some drinks, and just hung out

They're sorta like buddies who don't see each other much so they're overall estranged but still have a good time, yk?

Scaramouche has hung out in Dottore's labs before, doesn't particularly enjoy them, what with all the machinery and people crying and whatever, thinks it's boring, but if he has to hang out there he'll find his way to Dottore's office and read his files

This gets on Dottore's nerves, but he knows a little better than to cross the minor god that is Scaramouche

And he would very much like to study Scaramouche, considering, yk, divinity abandoned by the divine?

What an odd predicament!!

What effects would that have!!

How does he still have any power!!!

The questions Dottore could have are endless!!

But Scaramouche is away enough to be sure that Dottore's interest is solidly in other things (mainly Abyssal, and Dragons, because there's always some Fatui around the dragon skeletons (Durin and Orobashi) and I have a feeling it's Dottore's doing)

And that's it so far I think? They'll probably change as more Harbingers/info on the ones we have already come out and such but that's what I have rn!! Just Dottore being a funny feral little angry science man with at least three sensible braincells, and yk what I love him for it :)

[scarletooyoroi]

"Hey, Thoma, what do you think happens to a heart that's forced to drink the poison of hatred when the heart is incompatible with such a thing?"

“Well.. My initial assessment, judging from how phenomenon in our world can come to be, it might be a presence of dual beings.” Which by all accounts is a touch surprising to Thoma. If the Ley Lines and the strength made through powerful emotion, whether by divine or human intent taught them one thing.. A lasting legacy is always within the cards. Still, such a peculiar subject to dance around within this case.

Could be this have to do with the curiosity of those who fell under the influence of Orobashi’s remains?

“If there’s no bigger influence in the world, it’d be the heart and drive in close proximity.. Due to a reason tale about a sword that held life breathed within it, even hatred will have little choice to but to concoct a sense of life.”

Consciousness.

“And that can become one of the more dangerous case scenarios for the incompatible heart in question.. A battle over the vessel.”

[autumn-foxfire]

allow me to cry.. yes please this is everything I ever wanted and not sure I deserve.. i am full on support mood and will wait for however long it takes for your zhongli fics.. I’d love to read more about zhonglis feelings and thoughts before he faked his death how even when he did it, wasn’t for himself but for liyue ultimately

thank you for reminding me of the bloodtraitor line it is soo underutilized in fics when it has great potential also secret dragon language yes plz!!!

blind zhongli is giving me so much brainrot.. for the person who appreciate beauty in all shapes and forms to lose one of his senses.. i think i read one where he gives childe one of his eyes and he feels and sees what childe does which’s why childe chooses to stop being self destructive.. it was rly interesting

the split between morax and zhongli is interesting too and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it even though it’s clearly a great way to explore the divide and multifaceted aspects of rex lapis i know zhongli refers to morax in third person to hide his identity but since he gave out his gnosis zhongli seems to think of his past from a distant view as if’s another person plus the interactions between his not connected with human emotions side and current self with an interesting spin on erosion and lose of memories but still retaining the emotional burns.. you’r a genius foxy

I’ve always loved your writing so getting to read from my favorite writer in a new fandom and dedicated to my favorite character too is a blessing! Please take your time and share your thoughts with us along the way we will eat everything you cook up but we will patently wait

I'm really happy to hear my ideas are something you'd be interested in reading :D They're very self-indulgent after all so I'm happy that some people will still enjoy them regardless of that fact (though a friend of mine who's a very good writer always say that their best fics are the ones they wrote for themselves).

I've always wanted to explore Zhongli's feelings regarding his actions as the fandom tends to hold a very black and white view on them. I'm tired of him being labelled selfish all the time when he was actually putting Liyue and her advancement first. He was willing to continue being Liyue's archon, despite his feelings and his burnout, if they still needed him.

I'd like to think he'd also grieve the loss of his title too, despite being happy that he could step down. It's a big change in his life afterall and I really don't think people explore it enough.

Zhongli being a dragon and yet accepting the power of the one who took over their world will never not be interesting to me. You can't tell me vishaps, at least ones sentient enough, won't be angry at him. I have a whole au based around this idea at this point.

The fact that Celestia had Orobashi killed just for learning the fact that they weren't from this world makes me want to explore Dvalin and Zhongli having to hide a part of themselves and their legacy (such as their own dragon language in this example) even more.

And yesss... Zhongli willingly giving up one of the senses he seems to appreciate the most to allow another to experience what he once did appeals to me so much T-T Especially if he doesn't get his eyes back when he seals Azhdaha and accepting that as his "punishment" as of sorts for having to do so. Living the life Azhdaha once lived but this time all alone without his friend to describe the sights they once shared together...

I'm very happy to hear you like the idea of the split souls! It's the one I'm most excited to write! You hit the nail on the head on what I want to do! I really want to explore what Rex Lapis/Morax was like both before Guizhong and after as well as getting to explore all the trauma he's experienced in his long life. I'm also looking forward to the divide that causes between the two sides too because, as you said, Zhongli seems to view that part of his life as if he were a different person!

Thank you for your kind words nonnie, you don't know how much motivation you've given me to write these T-T I'm really happy to hear you enjoy my writing :D
