#and most of all DAIN QUEST!!!!!!!

[straylaughs]

4.7 livestream will save me for sure

[aromanticasterisms]

so no furina story quest 2 :((

[reginrokkr]

"There's a prophet lying dormant in all of us, and when he wakes, one more evil shall walk the world"... [...] "Now, I shall perform a terrible feat that never been done before and will never be done again... I will expose someone's true self before all, without any façade or masks... and that someone shall be myself." Other than speaking of the redeeming powers of the Holy Blade of Narzissenkreuz, he also preached thus: "The body is just a shell. Even the body of a hilichurl can bear sentient consciousness." [...]

Creation is a feat for a god... If we may call the one above a "god". In the tenets of Narzissenkreuz, do you know what is most critical in creating someone? It's imagination. Imagining a person, down to the last detail, akin to an Oceanid imagining a creature in the wild. There's a story that tells of a powerful mage-priest imagining his own son, only to realize he himself was the product of someone else's imagination. [...]

Narzissenkreuz would lead ceremonies with the Holy Blade, in accordance with the ancient dictates. They call it "Tri-Factor Excision" in Liyue, and in Sumeru, "Shattering Atmagraha". He called it "Renunciation of the Ego". He believes that one's own will is an obstacle, and that accidentally receiving a Vision while seeking the path is a guaranteed path to destruction. [...] It is said that people cannot perceive the truth, because a body with a self sees the world filtered through the five senses. [...]

I often feel mutually exclusive elements in the nature of my existence. Individually, they are pure, but also alien to each other. Therefore, when they interact, they mix with the other and become impure.

AAAA YES

Venti plz. What’re you hiding dude I need to knowwwwww

I know it’ll probably be like about her year or two until his next story quest but I wanna know nowwwww :[

And yesss Dain was amazing in this quest, I wanted to talk to him more but sadly hoyo put him back in the basement till next year :(

Honestly tho probably the only bad things about the quest was that it was too short and not enough t Kaeya and Dain, still probably one of my favorites tho 🐝

grabs this bard and squeezes him. what are you hidingggg

and yeahhh 😔. venti’s probably going to get his second story quest last 😔. if it’s not the best story quest ever i swear—

dain going back to the basement so baizhu can come out ajsjkzks

this quest did feel really short :(. and i agree, there was hardly any kaeya or dain lol, but it still was a good quest.

[scara-meow-che]

Dainsleif's dick being infused with abyss energy(?) like his arm-

Like yea Tartaglia's last form's dick, yeah Ito's oni dick, yeah zhongli's dragoon dick,but what of Dain???? That shit must be magical 😩

⦿ 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 ┃ eyes up here princess with dainsleif

CW. NSFW (MDNI), big dick! dain, fem! reader, use of words (princess), established relationship, teasing, first-time sex, implied oral, sex w/out penetration (thigh job and dick job? is that even a thing? idk, just read it to find out), dirty talk, magical dick (i am NOT sorry), mention of abyss princess lumine

AN. the new archon quest 🧍🏻‍♀️ it felt like a fever dream and it's a whole ass year again before we get to see this man so i am making it my mission to let him and his abyss-energy-fused dick live in my mind rent-free. also, if the anon that sent me this is still here to witness me posting this, hello :D this took me by surprise bcs i planned it to be short but here we are ig

it wasn't every day that you get dain's attention all to yourself.

you would often see him somewhere, busy, as always. sometimes, you would find yourself conversing with a few locals when dain tries to do things on his own as he would reason out that it's for your own safety. or you'd be up and about some part of the region searching for the abyss princess as to what he currently puts as his top priority.

these repeating turn of events would, most of the time, make you question whether you really matter to him seeing as he's always invested in things unrelated to you or what interests you. you don't ask too much from him but sometimes, a little attention would be nice, or have him answer all the questions that run inside your head.

yet, when dain would see that familiar expression painting your face as you make your bed for the night, he would put everything on hold and indulge more in what you'd request. he does make up for you, well, you have no complaints when he does because he'd always be there in a heartbeat for every beck and call.

hence why you're laid out on your bed, legs spread out with him toying with your already sore clit.

the idea of having sex had never once danced in between each conversation you'd have with dain. you'd rather spend the time to catch up on each other's day and sort out a route to where you both want to go next. it never fazed you when some people asked how your relationship with dain is going, not even bothered when some old women from liyue dramatically gasped as you've never been that intimate with your lover.

as the tension builds up throughout the months of overhearing people gossiping about their partners or be the victim of a drunk local telling you the tale of their sexual escapades, it draws out some images in your head. would dain be like the same as those oni's you've heard about? or have an impressive length similar to this one tale about a dragon lord? heck, would he have a dick that grows unrealistically big just like with the harbinger that you've heard about?

but who fucking cares anyway? you're about to get the real deal right now.

"what a curious mind you have there, princess." dain mindlessly mused as he press soft kisses along your thighs, leaving you breathless as he presses himself closer to your aching core. you can feel the heat from the big hard tent on his pants as he rubs himself to the dampness of your cunt. "i thought that eating you out could already satiate your pretty little head but you still want... what? what is it that you want from me again?"

he taunts, amused when he hears a cry from your disheveled form. "ah, didn't i say to tell me if you want something?"

"but it's embarrassing to say it!" you can't even fully reason out how humiliating it is for you to casually ask him that you want to see his dick as you let out another moan when he lightly thrusts his clothed cock on your core. he doesn't even let up, continuing his cruel pace in rubbing his aching dick on your already sensitive clit.

"p-please! i just, a-ah, want to see your d-dick!"

"say what again, princess?"

having enough of his teasing, you went to give your best in bending your body just to reach the big tent on his pants. "i want to see your dick dain and... i want you to fuck me, please."

you can feel a rush of heat all over your skin, your eyes quickly darting to the side to avoid dain's amused pair. a chuckle was all you heard before you felt his hands gently laying you down back to bed. in response to his pleased titter, you scoffed and gave him a quick glare.

"i'm sorry but you're just irresistible when you're so honest with me." he paused as he takes a sharp intake of air when he pulls out his leaking cock from the confines of his pants.

your eyes widen at the sight. no, it's not because he's as big as what you heard like the one of an oni or he has that delicious curve like that of the dragon cock but it's because the hue is unlike any other, the dark blue pulses as beads of white litters on the tip. fuck, when dain gave his dick a quick stroke, you can see how it grew a bit larger in his palm.

you drool just by imagining how it would feel inside of you.

"eyes up here, princess." he gave your thighs a light smack, pulling your attention back up before you felt the cockhead rubbing so gingerly on your little nub, smearing your cum on your lower lips.

"you're so eager for me, huh?" he can feel you trembling the more he pays attention to your aching core, gliding the head back and forth your lower lips, enough to push the head inside your hole but easy for him to just pull right back out. he's testing out the waters, waiting for more of your reactions and he could only see you enjoying yourself being please with the tip of his dick.

"just look at you, so wet and ready for me." and you are, feeling your arousal pool and spill right out of your needy hole while dain keeps making a mess out of it. your hips desperately buck right up, chasing for the head but he kept you pinned down on the soft mattress as he continues teasing you.

"dain, please, want to feel more of you." your hand went to grab his arms, giving it a light squeeze that you knew would get him to listen to you.

but it did the complete opposite.

"didn't you say that you want to see my dick?"

before you could argue back, dain had gently straightened both your legs upward, his strong arms locking you in place before pushing the dark blue cockhead in between your thighs. "been wanting to do this for so long," he uttered with a low groan, his body shivering when he thrusts his cock in the middle of your soft flesh, the rushed and hasty movements of the head prods at your clit. "you look so pretty like this, just letting me use you."

you gasped for air when he purposely prods at your puckering hole, angling his abyss-energy-fused cock to dive in and out of your thighs. your eyes caught a glimpse of how each streak of white glow, the nerves pulsing as he ruts himself so needily on you.

"so keep your pretty eyes on me and maybe, if you managed to do so, i might just give you what you want."

and you did, you desperately tried your best to keep looking at dain and just watching how he use your thighs to get off. it was a rare sight to see dain lose himself, tottering over the warmth and softness that covers his dick.

at first, he was scared that he might scare you off, thinking how unusual his cock looks. compared to what he thought you'd prefer to see in between your legs, about to rail the innocence out of you, his was far off the scales.

but when he saw your eyes almost sparkled when he pulled out his dick, hands so damn eager to touch him, and both your lips spilling out how much you want more of him just sends him over the edge. his pace quickened the more he stares at your needy form, enjoying the way your eyes fluttered close whenever he brushed against your hole before proceeding in sliding his cock back on your thighs.

"i'm so close, fuck, you feel so good 'round me like this, princess." and fuck, yes, you can feel more of his pre-cum ooze around the head and coats more of your already slick skin. it felt so dirty, so filthy to watch him fuck himself with your thighs and you felt dirtier when you were enjoying how his large dick, fused with the same abyss energy as his arm, slides back and forth your thighs.

"cum for me please," you whispered, urging your lover to release his load on your skin. within seconds, dain stopped his thrusts as he buried his cock between your legs, pressing it tighter as he shoots his load on your flesh, slowly having the thick globs of his cum drip down on your core.

while dain goes to steady his breathing, you went to open up your legs to see how much cum had covered your body, the scent of sex causing your head to fizzle out that you had nothing in your mind but the need to see his dick filling you up.

dainsleif was shocked when you went to reach out for his cock, the keenness in your eyes captivating as you focused on his dick.

"wanna see how it looks as you fuck me." your request came like a cry, a whimper of desperation. and you can feel the way dain's dick twitched on your hand.

you're going to be the death of him.

Take Me To The Sun (Pt. 2)

Part 2 is here! :) Here you can read part 1.

Just a little angst before we get to the good stuff.

It’s been 10 days. 10 days of agony, of turmoil and regret and anger - so much anger. I’m the only third year left. I’m expected to carry on my co-section leader responsibilities as if the absence of Garrick is a minor inconvenience. The early sun rises with a flourish of pinks, reds and oranges and all I can do is relish in this fleeting moment of peace. 

No one seems to care or notice that they aren’t back yet. I can’t help but seek comfort from Rathnait, my only anchor since the moment we left Basgiath. A warmth of what I could only describe as security floods down the bond. 

We can’t worry about things that haven’t been confirmed yet, flare. She knows my true questions, the things that I can’t bring myself to ask or think about. You must think about today, where we will go. Graduation day. I would be assigned to my outpost today, and by this evening I would be gone, my journey at Bagaith over. Turning away from the river, I make my way towards the flight field. The few third years left of this school congregate, awaiting as Colonel Aetos and Commandant Pancheck begin the assignments. 

“Congrats on graduating, Section Leader. It is a shame that Wingleader Riorson and Section Leader Tavis aren’t here to accompany you.” Colonel Aetos nearly sneers at the mention of Xaden. The obvious disdain is unsettling as he rifles through different papers. “Ah yes, your assignment. Due to your signet and the savagery of your red swordtail - you’re being assigned to the eastern wing…specifically, Samara.” He grins at me, almost maniacally as if the post is a joke. Rathanit snarls in my mind, rage igniting the very blood in my veins but all I can do is take the papers from his hand, saluting in acknowledgement. 

Where are you, Ray? My hands tremble, crushing the papers beneath my hold as I make my way quickly towards my room. 

I’ll be there soon, flare. Unless you need me now? 

I halt in the middle of the empty hall, knowing in a matter of moments the rest of the cadets will be awake to get into formation. Pressing the heels of my hand into my eyes, I can’t help but rest my back against the cool stone. 

Samara is the front line. Trying to get the ever rising beat of my heart under control, I must not panic. I am a rider. 

Are you afraid, flare? I shudder at her question, not wanting to admit the fear, the panic. But I know that she can feel everything, hear all that I think. 

They aren’t here. He isn’t here. A whimper escapes my lips, the reality of it all just crashing down like rubble. I will be going to Samara, there is no avoiding it, there is no changing it. While I had spent years trying to survive Basgaith, I would be sent to one of the most active posts in the region. I wouldn’t see Garrick. 

“Section Leader? Ar-are you ok?” Dain Aetos stands before me, hands out as if approaching a scared animal. “We need to get to formation,” I don't hate the kid, knowing that following the straight and narrow path is the life that is meant for some people over others. However, that doesn’t mean I want him to see me having a mental breakdown. Giving him a small nod, I manage to get myself to stand before fully looking at the Squad Leader. Something’s wrong. My own senses are beginning to go haywire. My signet. Only Xaden and Garrick knew. Command and Bagaith are under a different impression as to what it is. The manipulation and detection of emotions however was a daily venture, there was no turning it off, there was only controlling it and questing it and right now Dain Aetos was a mess. 

“I would ask you the same thing, what’s wrong?” I question him, dusting off my flight leathers. I don’t miss the way he flinches at my question, his hesitancy. “Do I have to give an order to know?” 

Taking a deep breath, he stands tall despite the sorrow in his eyes, “Xaden and the rest of the squad he took with him are being declared dead at formation.” I startle myself at the immediate sob that escapes my lips. “Leadership has been looking and there is no sign of them.” Feeling the agony of his own loss, it feels as if a tidal wave has pulled me under. The roaring from Rathnait in my brain feels as if it will explode any second. Dain’s grief, his regret all barrel into me with no filter, no shield. Rathanit’s confusion and rage down the bond. My own sorrow, my own heartbreak. There is no stopping it. There just is feeling it. Unaware of the stream of tears that roll down my face, the taste of salt jolts me out of the shock, the horror. 

“Round up everyone, squad leader. I’ll be at formation in a moment,” I murmur, the assignment papers feeling like large weights in my hand. He turns away to head towards the Quadrant, “Dain,” I call out, sounding like a garbled mess. “Thank you for telling me.” His own eyes glisten with unshed tears as he nods. 

My flare. I hear her call out, though to reach out seems like so much energy, all I can do is let her in with no barriers, allowing her to be there in the comfort of my mind. I’m coming, flare. 

Standing at the bottom of the stone dias. Everyone in formation, I don’t bother to look around. There is no one here to look for anymore. There is no Wingleader, there is no co-section leader - there is just me alone at the front. I didn’t bother to look at my squad, not being able to look at their questioning looks. I was known for being put together, not a hair out of place, no rumpled leathers, no dirt unless necessary. I’m sure the current state of me was a shock. Strands of hair fell in front of my face, eyes dry and cheeks raw from the tears. 

Captain Fitzgibbons overlooks formation, reading off the death roll. “Violet Sorrengail.” A moment of silence as all eyes look to the stoic face of General Sorrengail. “Garrick Tavis.” My heart feels as if it bleeds on the very floor I'm standing on, flinching harshly at the reading of his name. “And Xaden Riorson.” Captain Fitzgibbon’s voice rings out echoing around the quadrant. “Well this is awkward,” a voice calls out. Gasps are heard around the quadrant, even command seems unsettled by what’s happening. My knees seem to be locked in place, unable to turn around and see what is going on. My breaths turn into small gasps of air - no no no it can’t be, I’m dreaming. Dain said. I need to wake up. Heavy footsteps approach behind me, and two individuals take up position on either side of me. A calloused hand brushes against my own.

Spoilers For 4.7 Interlude Archon Quest

Pardon me while I SCREAM

I LITERALLY CRIED.

CARIBERT BEING LITERALLY THE SWEETEST MOST PRECIOUS BOY EVER???? HIM STILL KEEPING THE FABRIC TIED AROUND HIS ARM. THE FACT THAT HE WAS 8 YEARS OLD WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED?! (I can't remember if we ever found out his age in the first quest - we DID know he was a KID though). AND HE MADE HIMSELF LOOK LIKE HIS DAD. I CAN'T-

THE STORY HE TOLD THE HILICHURLS 😭 ALL HE WANTED WAS TO GIVE THEM THE MOMENTARY PEACE THAT HIS FATHER HAD GIVEN HIM.

THE LORE ABOUT THE SINNERS. FUCKING GOLD?!? LIKE WE ALL KNEW SOMETHING UP WITH HER BUT HELLO?!?!? AND SKIRK'S MASTER????

DAIN HAS A FUCKING BROTHER?!?!?! HE'S THE YOUNGER SIBLING?!?!?! HIS COMING TO CHECK ON TRAVELER AFTER EVERYTHING? THE FACT THAT HE WAS GOING TO ENTRUST THE EYE TO US?!

THE FACT THAT DAIN HESITATED IN FIGHTING OUR SIBLING?!

THE REUNION!?!? "I WOULD LIKE TO HUG YOU TOO" FUCKING BAWLED. OUR SIBLING FINALLY GIVING ANSWERS AND ADMITTING THAT THE DISTANCE THEY'VE CREATED IS PARTIALLY OUT OF FEAR OF HOW TRAVELER WOULD REACT!?

ALSO. WHAT WERE THEY SAYING RIGHT WHEN EVERYTHING SHATTERED!? THEY WERE SAYING SOMETHING!!!

AND THE FACT THAT THE LOOM IS NOW COMPLETED?! LIKE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT THE LEY LINES IT CREATES CAN'T INTERACT WITH THE ALREADY EXISTING ONES?

THE PICTURE AND THE NOTE!?

I'M UNWELL OVER ALL OF THIS. 😭

Okay. Screaming over. I'm so emotional over this - just like I always am. I'm so SIKED for the lore and storylines to come.

"BEDTIME STORY" - Preliminary Archon Quest (Ch. 4- Act IV) Thoughts

My diligence has finally paid off! For the first time in a while, I got to play through a Genshin quest as soon as it dropped! So, while energy is still high and the novelty of the event is still - well, novel - I offer you a collection of observations and examinations from the most recent Archon Quest.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS - do not click unless you've played Bedtime Story or don't mind being spoiled on its events!

FIRST, and arguably (for me) most importantly - THE SINNER HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, and before yesterday there was NO way you could have convinced me that it was Dainsleif's brother. (Has he even mentioned having a brother before this?) (The "Dain is the twins' sibling" theorists are probably deeply unhappy. Sorry for your loss.)

(A bit sad that it's not Deshret, personally, but that's not relevant atm.)

His name, Vedrfolnir (or Vethrfolnir, or Veðrfölnir or any number of phonetically similar spellings for those of us who can't do Scandanavian languages to save our lives), comes from the name of a hawk that, in Norse mythology, is partnered with a (nameless?) eagle that sits on top of Yggdrasil (Irminsul). Vedrfolnir is believed to represent the eagle's wisdom, able to see everything in the Nine Realms (likely why Genshin!Vedrfolnir's title is The Visionary) and passing information back and forth to it - much in the way that Odin's ravens are believed to pass information back and forth to him.

It is also believed to play a role in the battle between the eagle and Nidhogg (the serpent at Yggdrasil's roots) at Ragnarok - possibly similar to that of Ratatoskr, whose gossip back and forth between Nidhogg and the eagle (and Vedrfolnir by extension) is what causes their mutual aggression.

The name Vedrfolnir means something akin to "pale wind."

As far as the other "Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah" are concerned:

Hroptatyr is another name for Odin (huge? can you say HUGE?). The "wise" part is self explanatory. The name means "sage" in Old Norse.

Rhinedottir is, as we know, a Norse spelling of the German "Rheintöchter." She's named after the Rhinemaidens, three water spirits who dwell at the bottom of the Rhine river and are said to protect the Gold(tm) that can grant anyone immeasurable power. This origin is, however-

While the original Nibelungenleid (the 12th century German poem-epic) makes mention of mermaids, and Norse mythology makes mention of the proverbial gold (see below) the massively significant role mentioned above was almost COMPLETELY made up by Richard Wagner while writing the Ring Cycle. The Rhinemaidens are mentioned nowhere in Norse mythology, whereas all the other Sinners' names are pulled directly from old Norse sources. (Considering Rhinedottir's level of importance to the overarching plot, especially in Mondstadt, I have a hard time believing this difference from the other Sinners isn't equally important.)

I have discussed Surtalogi previously, so lemme just... (clears throat). Caaaaaalled it.

So yeah. He's the "Fire of Surtr," the jotunn who burns it all down. Dain and Surtalogi, sword buddies. Nice neat explanation. (Who's gonna be Surtr? Will we have a Surtr? We'll put a pin in that.)

And...if he's "the Foul," then I guess anyone who adopts his power has...the...Foul Legacy...yeah. No need to delve into that much. At least not for now.

Rerir is a little more to unpack. Or a lot more. Who am I kidding. In the Norse Volsungasaga, Rerir is part of a long and complicated line of royal births and deaths that result in rise and fall of the titular Volsung clan (similar to, but not the exact same as, the Nibelungenleid). A brief overview:

Odin gives birth to Sigi.

Sigi gives birth to Reri. Sigi is killed by his brothers-in-law.

Rerir avenges his father's death (for all you Sherlock Holmes fans - Racher is "avenger," or one who gets revenge [Rache].)

The goddess Frigg has a crow bring Rerir and his wife an apple because they're having a hard time getting pregnant. It works.

Rerir dies while his wife is pregnant - for six years.

Volsungr (Rerir's son) is born by C-section (something that seeems to happen with a lot of heroes in different mythologies, just saying). His mom dies in the process.

Volsung fathers (in addition to like ten other kids) the twins Sigmundr and Signy (in German, Sigmund and Sieglinde).

Sigmundr fathers Sigurd (Siegfried in German).

Sigurd is the dragon-slaying, Nibelung's-hoard-and-ring-of-power-having king that ends up being killed during a combination political dispute/relationship drama.

The chunks of the Volsungsaga from Volsung on are retold in Wagner's Ring Cycle, albeit with his own embellishments (see Rhinedottir).

The aspect of Rerir's title here that's confusing me the most is "Solnari." Based on Rerir's mythological origin, Solnari should be his father - but then, why not just call him "Racher of Sigi"? Meanwhile, Sol is almost certainly a reference to a Sun deity (in Norse and Germanic, the sun goddess), but the "-nari" suffix is more confusing. From what I can tell,

1) "Nari" is Sanskrit for "woman" or "maiden" - so if Solnari were The Lady Sun it would make sense, but it seems weird to randomly throw Sanskrit into a Norse civilization; and

2) Nari, or Narfi, is a different deity in Norse mythology that is supposed to be either Loki's son (killed by his wolf-shifting brother Vali), the personification of night (Nott), or both.

I can't really make sense of it in the moment, but hopefully we'll get more info as we go - preferably before another year goes by, Dainsleif, please!???

The Vinster King is, likewise, difficult to parse. There is, on one hand, the Swedish word “vinst” meaning to win, or make a return/profit - which would make the “vinster king” the king who…won? This isn’t totally impossible as we know there have been plenty of wars of succession between both gods and humans in Teyvat. On the other hand, this may be a butchered spelling of the German “finster,” meaning “dark,” “sinister,” or “gloomy.” I wasn’t super sold on my own interpretation of this until I remembered this sweet loot drop we get in the Chasm:

So that may be the case, and, as such, the “Vinster King” may be another name for Irmin.

(Side tangent: I now think it would be super funny if we found out later that Irmin and Pierrot really ARE the same person…Gloomy King…becomes a Clown…? Love that…anyway.)

I have already heard that someone has translated the message in Caribert’s memory-travel/loading-screen thingy, but I DON’T TRUST PEOPLE! So i’m gonna do it here for myself.

From the top, line by line:

FAREWELL ATOSSA

I APOLOGIZE

FOR MAKING YOU KNOW ME

UNWILLINGLY

STILL I DONT WISH

YOU TO FORGET ME

This is written in Sumeran script, not Khaenri’ahn. A nice easter egg, and very touching to be sure. ;v;

One last thing: on the Sea of Flowers.

There are a few things that this Sea of Flowers reminds me of - Nabu Malikata and her connection to water and flowers comes to mind, for one - but the thing that I was IMMEDIATELY reminded of was the Dandelion Sea.

For those who don’t particularly enjoy coming through Genshin’s archive: The Fox in the Dandelion Sea is a whopping 11-volume story series found hidden throughout Mondstadt. In the story, a hunter makes a deal with a fox (or spirit. or fox-spirit) who believes that he intentionally saved her life (he was just a bad shot, and broke the ice that was keeping her trapped on a lake): teach her fox-child to speak the language of humans, and she will teach the hunter how to transform into other creatures.

In order to meet and teach her cub, the fox takes the hunter to a “sea of dandelions, stretching as far as my eyes could see.” All foxes who “disappear during the hunt” come here, and time appears to be meaningless. While the hunter appears to move toward learning a lesson, by the end of the series, he still informs the fox that his reason for learning transformation magic is to be a better hunter. At this, the fox turns him into a dandelion puff and blows him away to a “faraway land.” He then wakes, as is from a dream, with none of what he could have had (the magic, the beautiful fox-woman, or the peaceful sea of dandelions).

While I’m unsure if the Sea of Dandelions actually has anything to do with the Sea of Flowers, it would be interesting if we found out that the Sea of Flowers is some alternate version of reality - a domain, an isolated region, or even a beautiful (but ultimately unattainable) dream.

THAT IS. basically all i have so far. This is coming off (as i said) basically 4-5 hours of sleep followed by all day on-and-off research to try and process everything we got since yesterday. and yes i know I didn't mention the Loom of Fate even ONCE but honestly between the pretty explicit "it weaves ley lines" description and the Abyss twin's equally explicit "I don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet," I don't really feel like any deeper picking has to be done for now.

okay byeee

[the-ragbros-are-okay]

!! SPOILERS FOR CARIBERT ARCHON QUEST UNDER THE CUT !!

holy. fucking. shit

okay so i did all of it in one go the SECOND the update dropped and first of all???? kaeya actually being somewhat open about his past at dawn winery and talking about sneaking off to sumeru to see if he could find anything about Khaenri'ah,,,

part of me wonders if he was trying to find his way home. that was my first thought, at least

either that or he could've just wanted to investigate the possible remnants of his homeland

also the mental image of crepus traveling to sumeru to drag kaeya back to dawn winery is SO funny omg

anyway. this confirms that as a kid, kaeya was great at hiding and going unnoticed (for a short period of time, at least)

he described it as a "short-lived adventure" as if it was just something he did for fun, but i feel like it was more of a "i don't know where my father went after leaving me here and i know i can't ask for help from anyone around me so i'm going to take matters into my own (tiny) hands and try and get home/learn about home"

also, on that note, kaeya knowing khaenri'ah is near sumeru is...interesting

honestly, just the location is interesting to me

sumeru is, for the most part, surrounded by other nations (liyue, natlan, maybe fontaine? idk i'd need to look at a map) so unless khaenri'ah is west of sumeru, it's somewhat central to the other nations and has gone completely unnoticed since it was destroyed

anyway, back to talking about kaeya

in the weinlesefest, we heard kaeya's father's voice for the first time, and it was the line about kaeya being their nations only hope. however, i guess that line doesn't really affect kaeya in the way we thought it did. while we assumed he was always being torn between mondstadt and khaenri'ah, he was actually starting to think that his father left him there for his own good

honestly, healthy mindset there, king!

anyway after that he says "A happy life sounds good to me, of course. Even if it means being cut off from... certain things."

king. hey. are you talking about being cut off from your birthplace or being disowned by diluc; you gotta give me some direction here. personally, i'm going to assume he's talking about diluc now

kaeya had a very happy life when he was with crepus and diluc, and maybe he's including other people's happiness in his definition of a happy life. he's a people pleaser--if others are happy, so am i--and he thinks diluc is happier without kaeya

also him just saying that alberich is his surname makes me :(

like. listen. i know diluc disowned him so he cant really use the surname ragnvinder. but like cmon :(

and him saying his surname is "probably" the only link to khaenri'ah he has left,,, very interesting

NOT TO MENTION THE PART WITH OUR TWIN

LIKE. WHAT WAS THAT :DDDD

[gold-rhine]

3.5 spoilers

ok, so i’ve thought somewhat about how much of existing kaeya’s lore hoyo would be retconning by making him not know he’s from abyss order bloodline and i think the most logical way i can reconcile all of the existing in game drops and the 3.5 dialogue is that kaeya knew he was from khaenriah, but was raised to believe Alberich clan are the regents of khaenriah, without being told of the abyss order connection. like i don’t think they’re retconning him knowing anything at all

bc like i can understand that things change in long-term projects, so if it was only the starting game lore, it’d be one thing. but hidden strife didn’t happen that long ago and based on the hidden strife alone kaeya’s dad called Alberich bloodline “regents of khaenriah” and casually referred to king Irmin, which implies Kaeya had at least basic grasp of khaenriah’s history and politics. this also tracks with his voice lines about Fischl and being descendant of lost royalty. so like, i believe he still Knows Shit and much more than he lets on, but maybe not very systematically.

but also now that I think about it, if I was dad!Alberich and i was preparing my son to plant him in Mond’s family, I would probs not tell him “hey sweetie, you and daddy are from the long proud line of the founders of the Evil Order. Yeah, you know, the Evil Order, which does Terrible Things, that’s us!” and instead present yourself as the noble regents, who picked up the pieces after royals fucked the country up, which like based on what we’ve seen of Chlothar, they’d probably sincerely see like this. this lets Alberichs to claim Khaenriah as both their legacy and responsibility, and it’s better to tell small kid he has a duty to his country, for which he is the last hope, instead of being like “cutiepie, one day when you grow up, you will be an important part of the Nefarious Crochet of Destiny, which our Evil Order has been planning for generations”

that would explain how he didn’t know about the abyss connection, but still picked up enough of lore and hints, which explains him referencing “sinners” in his voiceline about khaenriah frex. like after what we’ve learned in this archon quest, alberichs probably used “sinners” a lot in reference to themselves and khaenriah, so kaeya could catch a lot of religious shit and ideology, without knowing it’s connected to abyss order, bc like. this whole time we didn’t know shit fuck about sinner too! even Dain didn’t know about it and he was abyss sibling’s boyfriend. it’s a pretty well-hidden shit.

like kaeya obv never was supposed to know what his “mission” was, since even old mona’s voice line says “he thinks he made a clean break with the past”. which would very well lead to his state of anxiety, where he knew he’s planted in mond with *some* purpose, not knowing what that purpose it is and having to keep a secret that he was planted here strategically, but also since he was a smart kid who picked up enough to get Bad Vibes, feel preemptively guilty that MAYBE he’s a living timebomb which will be used against the country he grew to love, including his adopted family, but also not being able to tell so to the said adopted family bc he was raised to believe he has duty to his homeland as it’s last hope. like i think this uncertainty checks out better with his characterization from the start than being certain you’re from the Evil Order the whole time.

bleeding stars

buns notes: *point's at the khaenri'ah boys* these bad boys can fit so much angst in them

content:Dainsleif/Albedo/Kaeya x gender neutral reader. Angst/Slight hurt+comfort. 2.6 archon quest storyline in kaeyas. Mention of immortality and death and souls. Self destructive urges (Dain) blood(Kaeya/Dain) pushing my Kaeya is the prince of Khaenri'ah agenda. Broken glass. Fainting. Panic attacks. English is not my first language so I'm sorry for any mistakes!

Dark blogs. K!nk and ed blogs do not interact.

Cursed with immortality, it's not a surprise he'll grab any taste of death that he can. Throwing himself into what would be impossible and deadly battles, taking comfort in the sounds of swords clanking against each other and the warmth of blood dripping down his skin.

These self-destructive urges have dwindled a little ever since you joined his side. It's easier with you beside him. when you're around He's too busy indulging in the warmth and love you bring him, cherishing the feeling of your lips against his skin and your fingers tracing heart shapes on the back of his hands. too busy enjoying the relief your love brings him.

However, the burden of the curse, his thoughts, the pain gets too heavy to bear alone when you're not there. It's a spiral downwards into a dark place and the urge to throw himself into the most dangerous parts of teyvat is at its strongest. Though for now you're able bring him back into the light and soothe the pain, the thoughts don't stop for a while. He's only feeling like this when you're not there, and because of his curse, there will come a time, many years from now, when you won't be able to save him anymore.

He likes to believe you will. Although he would never wish you the pain of the curse cast upon him, can you really blame him for indulging in thoughts of you being by his side for as long as he lives?

He started to keep a journal with him, to write down everything about you, everything you have said to him, what you two did during the day. there is no doubt he will search the grounds and the heavens for a cure, a spell that might break the curse, something to severe its ties to him, so you can grow old together. But he's so afraid to be without you. Keeping a journal of everything about you is his way to eternalize you, and maybe, if you do leave, he'll be able to survive it.

Albedo

Albedo never believed he had a soul. Born out of alchemy, instead of two hearts that loved each other enough. It didn't surprise him when he didn't feel emotions as strong as the others, he doesn't even remember ever spilling a tear. That's one of the reasons he's an alchemist, to understand the world, the people in it, and around him. In his view, he could never comprehend it through emotions such as wonder, love, and heartbreak. how could he when there's nothing inside him?

You changed a lot when you came around. His old beliefs were challenged from the moment he laid his eyes on you. Was it normal for his heart to beat this fast? Was it a malfunction? Why was it that he can't seem to stop staring at you, memorizing all the details on your face, the subtle changes in your expressions? And what was with the blood rushing to his cheeks every time you're gazes met?

After spending days up on Dragonspine, running countless tests on himself, and writing notebooks full of his symptoms, there was clearly nothing wrong with his body. And for the first time, he was able to understand curiosity

As you grew closer to each other, you continued to challenge his beliefs every day. The first time he laughed uncontrollably, you were beside him, laughing right along with him.

He shed his first tear when you were badly wounded in a commission. The pain and anger of seeing you hurt are emotions he hopes to never experience again.

The warmth and soft happiness spreading through his body whenever you looked his way, smiled at him, touched him...

Is it possible for souls to be external beings?

You're the only thing that truly makes him feel alive, human even.

Perhaps he does have a soul, you.

Kaeya

Lets imagine kaeya was affected by the 2.6 archon quest as well

Everything is muffled, his vision is dotted with occasional flashes of..stars? and it feels like his head is about to explode. Is he still breathing, is his heart even inside his chest he can't even tell. As if poison is pumping through his veins and burning him up from within, he feels only searing hot pain throughout his entire body.

just a few moments ago he was with Diluc and you in Angels Share, so why is he seeing blurry flashes of crumbling castles and broken crowns? why is he hearing muffled sounds of machinery, and who is that masked man calling him...prince Kaeya? There is no sense to anything and the pain prevents him from assessing the situation

Through the pain be can make out subtle touches to his forehead. Is it you? Are you still there with him? Please, please say that you are because he's terrified.

He's trying to make out what the muffled sounds are, hoping to hear you

"GET A HEALER!" diluc?

"Kaeya, please open your eyes" thank the archons it's your voice. 

Just as suddenly as the pain came, it faded away and he found himself breathing again, sitting upright, clutching his throat, and breathing deeply. The dots in his vision are slowly clearing and he can now see the teary-eyed look on your face, as well as a very concerned Diluc pulling Jean inside

He's on the floor, you're there with him and his hands are bleeding from the glass that shattered in his grasp.

Despite the pain being over, and knowing he's in good hands, the things he saw, that man calling his name....panic is building in his chest as he shoots straight into a panic attack. bloodied hand desperately grasping yours

"Don't leave me alone, please Y/n"

Thank you for reading bunnies!

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

Did you get to play the chasm event? If so, what did you think about it?

my dude (genderneutral) i've played all events since unreconciled, of course i got to play the chasm event. i think i remember liking it? i like all combat events tbh, they'd have to do something like the last fayz trials to make me not like a combat event so 🤷‍♂️

but since idk why y'all would want my opinion on a singular random combat event i'm assuming you were asking about the actual storyline? if so first off that was not the event, that was an archon quest. an interlude, to be precise. like- the itto shinobu yelan xiao yanfei shenanigans were not time limited. that was not the event, it just happened to release with the event in tandem

as for the actual story of the archon quest, i really liked it. i like all liyue lore, and we'd been waiting for the chasm for so long, so it was really nice to finally have it. i was also really hoping we'd actually get a bosacius and/or missing yaksha mention (back then we had no confirmation they were the same as far as i recall), so the lore parts absolutely delivered. i love itto and my girls shinobu and yanfei, and yelan turned out to be kinda nice as well so the cast had no duds. always great to see xiao and zhongli, too

this is also the quest that finally gave us more yaksha lore so it's probably among the most lore-important quests we've had. not THE most important, of course, but it's up there, even moreso considering there's no dain to be found. also my main interest in this game is liyue lore so that ranks it even higher hahah

[bluedalahorse]

I’ve been writing since I was a little kid, and I’ve had friends who were also writers since I was a little kid.

For most of late elementary school into the beginning of middle school, I wrote a lot of stories about girls on quests. This is probably unsurprising, given that a significant portion of my reading diet involved Alanna and Daine and Cimorene and Lyra and Susan and Lucy Pevensie.

I distinctly remember a moment, however, when one of my fellow writer friends said to me, kinda dismissively, “Oh, every time you tell me a new story idea, you begin by saying it’s about some girl! I’m writing a story about a sixty-year-old man who digs graves and lives all alone.”

And the way this friend said it, it sounded like she was saying, here’s my more artistic story, because it’s about a man.

Now, full disclosure, this friend later got into feminist theory before I did, so we’re all on our own timeline and she’s called me out more than once. But I remember that marking a turning point in the kinds of stories we wrote in our friends group. And it was around the same time we all started writing Gundam Wing fanfiction, too, in a very boy-dominated way. We seemed to all absorb the idea that boy characters were always “better written” and “more interesting” and there isn’t much to be done about that.

I wrote boy characters for years after that because I worried that girl-centered stories wouldn’t be good or prestigious enough. It took a long time for me to be able to just see female characters as characters like any other characters.

And nowadays I see that idea echoed on tumblr dot com with a kind of fatalism, usually in discussions of female characters showing up in fanfiction. “Oh, well, there’s so few women who are interesting and written well! They are just such a rare species!” And like, I kinda get it, I’m a fan of Shakespeare plays and some of the gendered ratios + gendered expectations there can be just brutal.

But I also just… I wonder if maybe things aren’t as bleak as we sometimes say they are? We live in a world with Claudia the Vampire and Sara Eriksson and Felice Ehrencrona. We live in a world with Ashley Bennet from The Black Kids and Lily Hu from Last Night at the Telegraph Club and Marin from We Are Okay. We’ve had Katara in the 00s and Utena and Anthy in the 90s and Ramona Quimby in the 50s. Anne Shirley and Jo March and Fantine have all been with us for a long time!

I do think there are legitimate concerns we can have about how women are written and have been written historically. I get that. But I wonder if we maybe shouldn’t be leaning into our fatalism as much as we do.

[java-lava]

I have a great SAGAU idea (if anyone wants to write it, let me know);

The Creator! Reader and Teyvat! god, created the the land of teyvat together. Teyvat!god created the land and most plants (not including the regisvines, which both created together) and Creator!reader created the people, animals, creatures and elements.

(For simplicity sake, I’ll be referring to Reader as just “Creator” and Teyvat!god and just “Teyvat” for the rest of this post)(Also I’m using an f!reader for this, but you can make it go!reader if you want)

Anyway, along the journey Creator and Teyvat fell in love and decided to create something of their own, while Creator thinks of the people and all the other creatures of the land her “children”, she and Teyvat decide to have a child of their own that can help take care of their creations. So Creator and Teyvat have a baby but the process drains both of their energies, so Teyvat becomes one with the land itself, creating a sentient Teyvat. Creator looses a physical form and goes into a long sleep state to regain her energy(basically a dream world where she grows up with a normal life in the “real world” and forgets she was the Creator).

What happened to the baby you ask? Well as it turns out, Creator and Teyvat didn’t have ONE baby, but had TWO babies, Lumine and Aether, born with the power of the stars of Teyvat. As it turn out, Creator didn’t only help with the construction of Teyvat(the world) she also created the multiverse (other games) and Lumine and Aether inherited her power to travel between worlds.

So the story would start with Creator waking up in Teyvat (maybe in Mondstat) and IMMEDIATELY the land itself seems overjoyed for her to be there. And maybe there is an imposter, maybe not. But someone (not a playable character) accuses Reader of pretending to be the Creator and chases her off, then the npc calls one of the playable characters to investigate. When Character finds the so called “imposter” the only thing they can think of is “This is 100% the Creator, not only can I feel their warmth, (like when the Reader played with the character back in the “real world”) but they are surrounded by dangerous creatures and they are not being attacked.” It doesn’t hurt that Creator is sitting on a swing made of vines that seems to be pushing itself with no breeze (Teyvat loves Creator, and is 100000% a simp for her) anyway Reader has already started getting back her memories but they are a bit jumbled and hazy, so Reader convinces Character to help her hide until she can regain all her memories. Eventually when Reader remembers her children she HAS to find them (unfortunately she cannot talk to Teyvat, because Teyvat knows where their children are) and Creator goes on a quest to find them, and eventually teams up with Lumine (traveler) and when Lumine tells Creator her backstory, Creator finally starts to realize who Lumine is.

If anyone wants to use this idea feel free, just let me know or tag me. Also you can pick any character you want, but I imagined Kaeya when writing this. I would love it if you do NOT make the twins hate their parents. Also some cool things you could add;

-Obviously Teyvat knows that the twins are their children, why else do you think Traveler is always finding chests all the time? Not to mention all the resources that the Traveler needs always seem to pop up in their path when they need it!

-In Creator’s absence, celestia (who creator created) tried to take over more (when the cat’s away the mice will play) and Khaenri’ah only worshipped the Creator, not an archon, so celestia ordered the archons to destroy it and cover it up by telling their people that the Khaenri’ah people were bad.

-The Creator’s main symbol is a star, that’s why the twins have a connection to the stars, that’s why when we make wishes they appear like falling stars, and that’s why Khaenri’ah’s symbol was a star (with most of its people being born with a star somewhere on their body, like Kaeya and Dain’s pupils, Albedo’s neck. It’s also why Abyss mages have diamond patterns on their clothes) and that’s why you see a Diamond pattern a lot in Teyvat.

-I personally would LOVE to see a scene where the kind, caring and merciful Creature absolutely DESTROYS celestia for the slaughter of Khaenri’ah.

-I would love Creator to be kind and nurturing but super sassy and sarcastic too, but you can make the personality whatever you want.

[hellobitchlet]

Honestly, I feel like Fontaine has been really bad. Even by Genshin's nonexistent standards.

Outside of Furina's backstory, the writing is a step down from Sumeru instead of a step up, with 90% of the first 4 acts being filler and the handling of the terrible government being even worse than previous nations (bc the horrifying justice system would look bad on Furina, Focalors, Neuvillette, Clorinde, Chevreuse, Sigewinne, and Wriothesly if we admitted that it was bad). It's so bad that it falls apart if you know anything about human rights, slavery in prisons, capitalism, police corruption, or even the basic rules of detective fiction, when it comes to the first 2 acts.

And on top of that, everything about the oceanids were completely retconned and ignored...even though some of that retconned lore was given to us an update before Fontaine was released. Instead, oceanid lore was completely changed, used to make Neuvillette look cool, and then forgotten about after the main act except for like...1 world questline. That has nothing to do with playable characters. Even though it's super important to the story. Aka the npc problem also continues.

The underwater areas are cool, but the whole nation is about as empty and boring as the desert. There are a few highlights, but that's it. And not only is it significantly smaller than Sumeru for no reason, but it was shafted just to make ANOTHER addition to Liyue's map, which is bigger than Dragonspine, Chasm's Maw, and Stormterrors Lair combined. And it also doesn't utilize most of the giant space it has. We got our first separate, underground map since Inazuma, but it's even smaller than Enkanomiya, there's nothing interesting that I've found so far, and the map is hard to look at because of the way they make maps now.

Speaking of, they seriously thought that adding mini underground maps to the normal map was enough compensation for them making hard to navigate caves to let them get away with continuing to do that?? Why not just stop making them?? Is this not one of the reasons why your normal map looks so boring??

While Cyno suddenly got a 2nd story quest (which should've been his only one with how useless the 1st one was, but whatever), for the first time since the beta(?), the archon character didn't get 2 story quests. They could've chosen to give neither Furina or Neuvi a 2nd quest, give one of then a 2nd quest, or give both of them a 2nd quest. They went with the laziest option.

Instead, our 2nd weekly boss was Arlecchino in her own quest. This was honestly the first time I felt disappointed with a weekly boss. It had nothing that special about it gameplay-wise, and Arlecchino's boss form looks weird. It's just the barebones first part and the cool boss form last part. No big, unique mechanics that change how you fight it, no in between stage, no switching back and forth between the stages. Nothing.

Just like Inazuma, Fontaine wasn't allowed it's own Traveler quest. Instead, Bedtime Story was a continuation of Caribert that could've been released during Sumeru, as well as a lore dump and empty reassurance that the next Traveler quest will finally, actually start an actual Abyss Order + Dain plot. Not right now though. And the ending is literally a MLB identity reveal fakeout episode.

To make the obvious laziness even worse, this is the first time since interludes were introduced that we haven't gotten a yearly Interlude. That's ONE single act quest! There's no reason why you couldn't have made one! Fontaine has NO other storylines for the playable characters besides the main quest, despite all the npc storylines!

Additionally, while this is the first time we've gotten 5 skins per year instead of 4, it's also the first time we've been given a skin without it being used in an event. Which is...weird. And that's without mentioning how bad Ganyu, Shenhe, and Nilou's skins are imo.

I swear, the only good thing that has happened is that Mondstadt has been further solidified as The Witch Nation. And again, the underwater stuff is cool.
