Happy Birthday, Xiangling!

[cometrose]

one of my favorite things about zhongli is that he doesn’t shut up like i know we like to compare him to neuvillette and alhaitham but zhongli is like inverse of their signature traits. social awkwardness? quiet and reserved? zhongli does not care he will talk like he understands liyue’s social customs very well he just does what he wants. like yeah he’s calm and reserved but he’s not quiet and he enjoys socializing with humans like it’s one of his favorite things to do. the people of liyue describe as someone who is a little odd but very helpful and knowledgeable so he understands people and he seems pretty good at reading their intentions and behaviors so yeah he’s weird but he’s very popular cause he’s always doing shit

tldr zhongli is a yapper he will talk about anything and everything if you give him a chance he does not care if it’s weird or socially unconventional

while I am very excited, I will admittedly be disappointed if GaMing becomes Xiao's student before Chongyun.

Because chongyun has been in the beginning of the game with voicelines admiring and critizing xiao, is in the same line of work, and perilous trail showed the connection between the exorcist and the yaksha (boyang and bosacious) plus chongyun's entire character is based on Taoism but people barley mention him when talking about genshin and the portrayal of chinese culture.

Also based of the drip marketing of GaMing, GaMing is already sercure and confident in himself, and has a secure job abd his desire and passion is with lion-dancing ,between the two of them the one who could really benefit from a teacher, who can actually get help and build his confidence is chongyun.

Happy birthday Canadian Aether!!

fake ga-ming voicelines (prerelease, some more delusional, some less. please give more hcs about him)

edit: apparently voiceline leaks just dropped so PLEASE no spoilers <3 if these are wrong that's too bad they're canon in my heart!!!

About Yun Jin: Besides being a great opera performer, Sir Yun's taste in tea is impeccable! Although she keeps asking me to join her at Heyu Tea House... their tea just doesn't have the same flavor as the tieguanyin from Xinyue Kiosk. Speaking of her, one of our clients has just developed a new strain—I promised to bring some for her when I come back to Liyue Harbor!

About Xiao: You mean Senior Xiao! Hehe, so you know him too! Next time, can you bring him along with you to one of my performances in the harbor? I've been trying to get him to come for a long time, but he always refuses... oh, good idea! Next time I'll hold it at Wangshu Inn, just for him!

About Xiangling: That girl always by Guoba's side, right? Man Chai seems to like her a lot, especially the cornbread buns she makes! To be honest, some of the things she cooks are a little too spicy for me, but otherwise she’s an excellent chef with unmistakable talent. No wonder her companion is a minor deity… wait, what? A major deity?

About Keqing: Thanks to her invitation and sponsorship, our Mighty Mythical Beast performances have been getting more and more attention in the harbor! She's very straightforward and speaks her mind about everything, and always has novel ideas! Although we haven’t talked much, I really admire her mindset and determination. It’s not easy to forge your own path forward, especially for someone of her standing.

About Chongyun: I've run into him once or twice on the road to Liyue Harbor. He didn’t seem to like talking that much when we met, but I’ve heard he’s actually quite outgoing! He wields a greatsword too—maybe he can train with me as the suanni’s tail? Of course, I wouldn’t force him to do anything he doesn’t want; I'm sure he's already busy! It would just be nice to have a wushou partner for once.

About Xinyan: I managed to catch one of Xinyan's performances when I had some free time after work. There weren’t many people in the audience, but her music was so energetic it completely made up for the quieter atmosphere. Originally, I was thinking about asking her to join our lion dance troupe as a drummer, but I’m glad to hear she's made a name for herself since then! I should properly introduce myself sometime!

About Zhongli: He once asked me whether I've heard about the legend of the solitary suanni after one of Iron Tongue Tian's stories. When I said yes, he launched into a really detailed discussion of Chenyu Vale's local belief system, and even told me some stories I haven't heard about a carp adeptus. It's amazing that he has so much knowledge on all sorts of folklore, as a funeral consultant no less!

About Xianyun: ... Who? im sorry i was going to put something about the adepti here but gave up trying to think of something and now it's just a joke line. suggestions welcome tho 🫶

About Yelan: Ah, that lady—sometimes I see her lingering around Yanshang Teahouse. They place regular orders of tea leaves from Yilong Wharf. She's very polite and even petted Man Chai once or twice, although I feel like there's more to her than meets the eye... well, business is business, and they've never caused any trouble for Sword and Strongbox, so whatever she does isn't much of a concern to me.

very long notes:

generally i feel like what's mentioned in chara voicelines tend to have a lot less substance than the actual relationship, so in my head some of them are closer w gaming than i wrote.

always welcoming suggestions!!!!! PLEASE share the brainrot with me i'm dying here OTL please please.

i'd like to write an "about xingqiu" but i bully my richboy son and he's already had like 12 other people comment on him in canon it's fine if ga-ming doesn't know him

everything's just for fun etc etc. don't take it too seriously

watch all of these be completely wrong!!!

similarly if any of these end up being right, i will SCREAM

the only ones i really really want to happen are with yun jin and xiao if they don't have voicelines i'll die

senior xiao comes from my headcanon (copium) that they'll keep the mentor disciple relationship (?) from that one concept art if you know you know. it also comes from this absolutely delicious fic

[kiisaka]

Ding ding ding! Alhaitham and Kaveh are now done as well!

Childe: Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I visited Inazuma and made myself a passionate-for-their-craft, happy-go-lucky pyro bestie, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?

A Sketch A Day 7-19-2022

I still think Xinyan will obliterate Kazuha with a hit

[reilliane]

That one event where childe went to inazuma but its just him flirting with sister! MC, and her is to oblivious towards his flirting, aether and paimon ripping their hair out and xinyan is like:🧍🏾‍♀️

omg the poor onlookers lolol-

whilst MC is out there tryna decipher the domain with Shiki, Childe's pulling all the moves to look eyyy 😎~ Leaning on a pillar looking suave 😏? BRUSHING THE DIRT OUTTA MC'S HAIR 😳??

Aether is lowkey bristling and it's only Paimon/Xinyan trying to keep hell from unleashing.

I like to envision Childe just going "Watch out, girlie", about to strike an enemy but MC beats him to it with a 🤨?? Girlie?? 🤨🤨🙄 you patronizing me, sir?? Oh she's far from being interested

Childe practically falls apart at the seams because mission failed and there's Aether fist-bumping the air in the background because yeEEeEeEEeSssssSSS
