Staring at the blade I wield, I could hear the distant sounds of footsteps slowly approaching as slowly look up to the Raiden Shogan doing her Musou no Hitotachi.

Her divine punishment.

Briefly closing my eyes, the last thing I saw was her holding the blade upwards in the air.

At least, Kazuha will be able to get out alive.

So, this is it. I'll die like this and although I do have some regrets, it seems like, I won't be able to apologize...for everything.

She pops up in my mind, I guess dying with her image in my mind won't be bad...I won't be able to see her beautiful smile and the eyes I love the most.

"?!" I'm suddenly pushed back by a force, and the sounds of blades hitting each other are heard as I pick myself up from the floor. My eyes widen at the sight in front of me.

Electro sparks in the area as the Raiden Shogan pushes down her blade onto the (H/c)'s blade.

"(Y/n)?"

She grits her teeth, struggling to keep the sword from doing any more damage but her strength is decreasing as I could see the Shogan's blade win this fight.

Her (E/c) eyes narrow at the Archon, "run." She says as I look at her confused before I heard footsteps behind me, arms pulling me up.

"Tomo! We need to go—" I look back to see it was Kazuha, breathing heavily and by the looks of it he ran all the way here. He gasps as he looks away from me and to the scene in front of us.

"..(y/n)?" He gasps out just she struggles to hold down the blade as the electro energy burns down on her hand on the grip of the sword.

"You need to run!" She yells, the Shogan's blade pressing more in as the ground underneath the (H/c)-Indigo-haired's feet break from the pressure. "Now!"

Kazuha and I watch in horror as the Shogan does her ultimate move (basically what she did to Signora) as Kazuha holds back me from running to the scenes. Eyes filled with fear before a small stone lands beside us.

Without hesitating, Kazuha picks it up, gripping the taller male's arm, and tugging him back.

Yelling at him that they needed to go but Tomo's eyes were glued to the scene before they start to run away.

Kazuha gripped the electro vision as it went into flames, burning his hand in the process as he held it close to his chest.

—

Tomo woke up to the feeling of soft paws on his face, groaning as he sat up, his white cat sliding off as it meows at him before jumping off.

He eyes his cat, a little annoyed at being woken up yet he sighs, his tired eyes look at the stone that was turned into a necklace, the dead vision hanging from his neck as if a reminder of what happened that day.

Kazuha also burned his hand in the process but he remains fine physically.

Standing up, he brushes off any dirt on his clothes, he's been having more dreams of that day, and other days, they're just nightmares, blaming himself for what happened.

"Tomo, Captain Beidou is asking for you." One of the crew members of the Crux calls to him, carrying a crate.

He nods, managing to smile at them before it drops as soon as they're gone, sighing, he goes to find Beidou.

—

Sipping a cup of tea, you eye Aether who is rambling again about how no one bothers to help him find his lost kin.

It's been a couple of months since you met him whenever he's in Liyue, he would come to find as you always let him rant about what happens in his adventures out in the wild.

Learning about his sister was something he was hesitant to share and you completely understood why. You two were similar in some ways.

A strand of your hair falls on your face as you put down the cup with a delicate movement and fold your hands on your lap, making eye contact with the blonde.

Luckily that companion he has was not here, she was never present when you two were together since you voiced out how you didn't quite like having her in these moments so Aether, being the sweetheart he was, made sure to leave her in his teapot for the time being.

Parting your lips, "I have a younger brother," you say, "and similar to your sister, he's not quite on the right path like her."

He looks at you, holding his drink, "under certain circumstances, I decided to follow after him so I could stand by him."

Your gaze dropped to the crowd in the distance, "after all, it's the job of the older sibling to protect the younger one, is it not?" Sighing, you spot a ship in the distance that reminded you of something.

Aether nods, agreeing with what you said, he wants to protect his sister from the dangers but she just pushes him away in the end.

"Similar situation except," you look back at him with half-lidded eyes and arms crossed on your chest, "if my brother asked me to...let's say, sacrifice myself for his benefits, I would do it without hesitation."

He shivers at how your words hold such malice in them "I would do anything to make him reach his goal and be happy." A tiny smile appears on your lips as Aether blinks.

"I know you wouldn't do such a thing, just keep trying to pursue her, she'll change her mind." You say, moving along from what you just revealed to him. "I love my brother dearly, that's all." You grin before gesturing to the boat in the distance with the fan in your hand.

"I heard Beidou is going to host a tournament soon, I think you should join." He gives you a look, "the prize might interest you."

One of his brows raises at the mention of a prize as he gives you his best puppy eyes to tell him what the prize is. He had heard people that the Crux crew was holding a tournament but he wasn't interested, he just wanted a way to go to Inazuma to find the Electro Archon.

Your eyes narrow at him as you learn in a bit and in a hushed tone you spoke, "The prize is an empty vision,

and maybe you could ask Beidou to give you a ride to Inazuma since it looks like the vision doesn't interest you."

Leaning back, you watch as he takes in the information and he stands up, his knee hits the side of the table, making him wince in pain.

Rubbing his knee, he quickly waves at you before leaving to get Paimon as you sigh, content with how things are going.

Enjoying this brief moment of relaxation before work begins again.

A spot of black fog emerges from behind you, a Pyro Agent kneeling before you, his head bowing as you sigh in annoyance.

"Your orders..."

Your eyes linger on the boat before looking at the now cold cup of tea in front of you, "Prepare a pen and paper, I need to send a letter to my brother."

The Pyro Agent shivers at your tone, he wished you treat him like how you treat the traveler—

"Let us begin."

He quickly takes out the materials, handing them to you as you thanked him.

He waits in utter silence as your scribble away, taking a chance to admire you this close. In his old job, he remembers always watching from a distance as his position as a guard for the Shogun was nothing really special but here......

Signing your name at the end of the letter, you put it in your pocket.

"W-where will we be headed next?" The agent asks, watching as you stood up from your seat and to the railing, admiring the scenery of Liyue, the wind blowing strands of your hair.

"Inazuma." You answer, "Signora is waiting for my arrival."

"The Fair Lady is already there?"

You nod, "yes and I'll soon meet up with my creator,

Ei, the electro archon after 500 years of her abandoning us."

Your voice is timid and small as you spoke about her. Yes, you'll get to see her after so long but for a different reason.

The agent lowers his gaze, "I'll prepare your things for the trip." A aching pain in his chest as he bows before walking away, leaving you alone with your thoughts.

A/N: For the Golden Rule @yanfeizine! Beidou is always really fun to write, I love slipping her in everywhere.

…

…

…

…

The sea was calm. Yanfei preferred it that way, especially whenever she was ferried over to Captain Beidou’s ship. The tiny rowboat rocked enough as it was. While she wasn’t sure if an adeptus could get seasick, she didn’t really want to push her luck and find out. Especially since this journey was for work.

It wouldn’t be professional to vomit all over the captain’s—her client’s—quarters.

Yanfei glanced behind her, at the slowly shrinking dock. It was strange to see the city without the familiar Jade Chamber hovering over it; perhaps it was a miracle that it was the only thing destroyed by Osial’s attack. While she’d never made a contract to protect Liyue, that didn’t mean the desire wasn’t there.

That also didn’t mean the ability was there. Yanfei flexed her hand and sighed. Her fighting prowess was far lower than her adepti kin; an adeptus born to a world at peace didn’t need battle skills, after all. Even now, her fingers trembled at the memory of the fight. At the power of the ocean, trying to swallow everything whole. Her father had been fearless as he fought off wave after wave. Even Ganyu had lost her secretary persona, her focus razor-sharp as she drew her bow.

Not for the last time, Yanfei remembered the difference in the eras they were born in, in the experiences they’d lived through.

“Do you want the ladder?”

A gruff voice broke through her thoughts and Yanfei turned around to find they were already at the Alcor. Beside her, the wiry crewmate who’d rowed the boat slowly stretched his arms above him, the only sign of discomfort from his hard work. If he didn’t like ferrying people back and forth, he didn’t show it. With a roguish smile, the man added, “I can call up for it.”

Yanfei shook her head as she crouched. “It’s quicker to jump.”

Without wasting another minute—time was a lawyer’s most precious commodity—Yanfei pushed off. The boat rocked slightly as she sprang high in the air, catapulting herself over the railing and onto the deck. As she landed, she heard a whistle.

“Damn, that never gets old,” a familiar boisterous voice called out. Yanfei pivoted to find Beidou behind her, her hands on her hips as she grinned brightly. Her long hair curled over her shoulders like a cape. “You sure you don’t want to change jobs?”

Yanfei chuckled as she smoothened the creases in her shirt. While Beidou didn’t care for decorum, Yanfei was a professional, and a professional couldn’t look anything less than impeccable. Even if her clients were a bunch of rough, rugged pirates who often dripped blood on the carpet whenever they came for advice.

There was a reason she preferred to meet them on the ship.

Around her, various crewmates waved as they bustled back and forth, preparing the Alcor for a prolonged stay in the harbour. She had heard they’d just rolled in this morning, mere hours before they’d sent a messenger to her office. Yanfei rested a hand on her hip, mirroring her client’s pose as she returned her attention to the captain. “I prefer taking advantage of the business you bring.”

“Taking what you want, eh?” Beidou guffawed, not the least bothered by the usual rejection. “That’s a pirate’s attitude, alright.”

“Perhaps I’ve spent too much time with you.” Pulling out her law book, Yanfei rolled back her shoulders and braced herself for her next job. The best part of Beidou’s cases was that they were always interesting. The worst part was that she’d have to spend hours delving into the most minutia of laws to find a loophole. “You’ve only returned to town for a few hours—are you in trouble with unloading your shipment or has the Tianquan finally tired of you?”

Beidou wrinkled her nose and scowled. “I don’t sail for her.”

“Right.” Yanfei resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the usual story. There was a strange push-and-pull between the captain and the Tianquan. Then again, it wasn’t like she was one to talk—she played a cat-and-mouse game these days with the overly sharp Ningguang, trying to find loopholes before they got filled.

Begrudgingly, Yanfei had to admit Ningguang was a worthy opponent. If only the woman didn’t make her job harder with each duel.

“Nah, my problem has to do with this scallywag.” Beidou leaned back, cupped her mouth, and shouted up, “Hey, Kazuha, get your scrawny ass down here.”

And to think that was the cleaned-up version of Beidou’s talk. Yanfei chuckled wryly. There were few who could curse as colourfully as a sailor. “So this Kazuha—”

A soft thump interrupted her as a man leaped down from the crow’s nest, his feet barely making a sound as he landed next to Beidou. Yanfei stepped back, surprised at the daring feat. Despite his grey-white hair, he looked young. His melancholic red eyes met hers briefly before he turned to the captain. “Yes?”

“You’re always so damn quiet.” Unfazed, Beidou slung her arm around his shoulder and pointed at him. “Kazuha.” She pointed at Yanfei. “Yanfei.”

Yanfei stared blankly for a moment before realizing that was the introduction. One that did little to explain the situation. She closed her book and bowed slightly. “Nice to meet you. Judging by your clothing, I assume you’re from Inazuma?”

Kazuha glanced at Beidou one last time before turning his attention to her. He gave a slight bow back, as much as he could do while Beidou kept a hold of him. Wistfully, he nodded. “Yes, I come from that lightning, that thunder.”

Poetic. When he didn’t add anything else, Yanfei peeked up at Beidou. The captain merely snickered, clearly used to the cryptic response. Well, that was just fine. This wasn’t the first Inazuma escapee to knock on Yanfei’s door. And with Inazuma the way it was, it wouldn’t be the last. She could easily guess what the request was. “Is this an immigration case? Or a refugee? It’s a little harder to claim that status, depending on the prosecution you face. There are a few other status types we could explore, if you need something that fits your needs better.”

Kazuha stared at her for a moment. She wondered just how much of that he understood. People often told her she spoke too fast. Couple that with confusing dialogue and it was the perfect recipe for misunderstandings.

Beidou snorted, breaking the ice as usual. “Why do you always make things sound so complicated?” She thumped Kazuha’s back. “It’s simple. He’s moving to Liyue.”

Well, at least she could count on Beidou to speak honestly. Yanfei smiled. “Well, I suppose I should say thank you for choosing our country as your new home.”

“Anyplace would have been fine,” Kazuha admitted, his voice soft. She could only imagine what led him to escape Inazuma. Between the Geo and Anemo Archons, it was easy to forget the other gods weren’t quite so benevolent and easy-going. “Beidou brought me here.”

“Oh, so now you’re talking plainly?” Beidou bumped her shoulder against his. Or rather, with their height difference, she bumped his head. “Maybe you should do that instead of your poetry.”

He looked used to this response, his expression relaxing as he replied dryly, “The poetry gets rid of you.”

“Damn right it does. So does paperwork.” Beidou laughed one last time. She turned to Yanfei. “I’ll cover his costs. You should come to our feast tonight; we can catch up then.”

And like a hurricane, she spun on her heel and disappeared below deck.

The deck felt strangely quiet with her gone, even though the rest of the crew was still bustling about. Yanfei sighed. “She really does whatever she wants.”

“That’s her charm.” Kazuha smiled genially as he stepped closer to her now. Despite his thin clothing, he didn’t rub his arms as a cold breeze ruffled his hair. He appeared oddly tranquil, like a still lake or a clear sky. Even with the sword on his hip, it felt like it wouldn’t take much to blow him away. “Thank you for the help.”

“It’s not so much help as it is work.” Yanfei regarded her new client. He was in good spirits for an escapee. “So you’re a poet?”

His smile grew brighter. “Would you care to hear some?”

She could feel a headache forming. “Maybe later. She wasn’t kidding about the paperwork. We’ll have a lot.” Yanfei scowled, glaring across the ocean in the direction of Inazuma. It was the second most annoying country to deal with. “Especially these days.”

“Especially these days?” he asked, cocking his head slightly as he followed her gaze. Seeing only the open sea, he glanced back at her, confused.

“Inazuma has a lot of paperwork.” She rubbed her forehead. If Fontaine’s judicial procedures were the most complicated, Inazuma’s were the most convoluted. “It’s a time thing. Inazuma took ‘eternity’ literally with the red tape.”

“A mountain of it?” Kazuha guessed, not looking the least bit afraid or worried. That would change once he saw everything he had to sign.

“A whole range.” She sighed, her shoulders slumping as she envisioned the work ahead of her. Yanfei had done menial jobs before; she knew how to handle a boring case. That didn’t make it any better.

Still, if the others fought monsters, Yanfei fought in court. Her own battles were just as tiring, even if the stakes were lower. There was no point in worrying over the work ahead; she’d face it as it came. “Everything has to go through every administration, every pair of hands—I think it was easier before your borders closed, but I never really dealt with Inazuma back then. Perhaps Ganyu might know better.”

Kazuha stared at her blankly.

He certainly had no idea what she was talking about. Briefly, she missed the company of the Feiyun Commerce Guild’s second son. “Either way, a lot of paperwork. Maybe we should start tomorrow—it’ll be slow no matter when we do it.”

“That’s fine.” Kazuha leaned against the railing, his stance relaxed. He smiled pleasantly. “The people of Liyue are as kind and helpful as Lumine said.”

“Oh, did she say that—” Yanfei froze. A sense of dread filled her. “Lumine? You met?”

“Yes.” Kazuha nodded, not noticing her stiffening posture. “Before she entered Inazuma.”

The dread grew stronger. There was a pit in her stomach. Slowly, she grabbed Kazuha’s shoulders. Ignoring his surprised gasp, Yanfei carefully asked, “Lumine is in Inazuma?”

He glanced at her hands, more startled than scared, and nodded.

“Fuck.” Yanfei wasn’t one to curse, but today required it. Immediately, she withdrew, pulling out her law book and flipping through it quickly to find the relevant clauses.

Kazuha stayed where he was, his eyes following her as she paced. Quietly, he asked, “That’s bad?”

“For Inazuma? No. For us? Yes.” Yanfei worried her lip as she thumbed through the immigration section. She should have realized it earlier, when Lumine said she’d be leaving the country. Hell, she should have asked her where she was going. “The country will be turned upside down.”

Kazuha frowned, perplexed. “That’s a good thing.”

“The laws will change.” She looked up at him, making sure to lock eyes. “Any paperwork we send now could either miraculously make it through before that or get lost in paperwork limbo. In which case we’ll have to wait until a restructuring, where I will have to learn the new laws.”

It took him a moment. Kazuha paled. “That’s bad.”

“More tiring than bad.” Yanfei took a deep breath before pulling out a quill and piece of paper. “Come on, let’s get started. State your name and occupation.”

[pixiltalks]

Kagepro characters and who I personally believed they'd main in Genshin, since I've seen a few people sharing their headcanons on this!

Ayano - Kokomi. Definitely admires her as a leader and always makes sure everyone is healed, probably has a crazy insane build that Shintaro helped her with.

Kido - Beidou. She wants to be strong just like her, tells everyone else it's just because "claymores are cool". She also really likes Shinobu for their obvious similarities and the fact she's a healer.

Seto - Razor. One of those super loyal Razor mains from day one, ignores the meta for any cute dog characters.

Kano - Furina. Kano canonically plays females in video games, and he'd definitely be a Furina enjoyer especially after the archon quest.

Marry - Diona ("She's a cute cat and I can heal my friends!")

Momo - Nilou. Momo doesn't give two craps about meta, plays her in whatever team and has fun with it. Shintaro tried to explain artifacts to her but she didn't understand. It's okay though because she's living her best life with her favourite dancer!

Takane - Raiden. The opposite to momo - major meta player and archon collector, all triple crowned. Slays the abyss every time.

Shintaro - Al Haitham. He's pretty powerful in the meta I think Shintaro would make really intricate builds (he also has a few waifus he's whaled for but who can blame him)

Hibiya - Aether. Well - on his profile, at least. But he actually has more waifus than Shintaro, it's just that none of them are displayed.

Haruka - Albedo. He's an artist like him and his reclusive nature probably reminds him of Shintaro, and Haruka loves anyone that reminds him of his friends!

Hiyori - Kirara (she thinks she's cool and loves climbing with her, that's it ajcjs)

While some of these match with personality, these aren't assignments based on kintypes/characters I think they would *be*, just who I think they would play as. I could make a separate list for kins lol

chapter sixteen - the greatest treasure

　↳ beidou x jorogumo!reader

warnings - fem!reader, fluff?, mentions of violence, wc - 1k

among the vast land and seas of tevyat, various species lived harmoniously alongside humans and archons themselves. from the kitsune shrine maidens to half-cats. but most had adapted to live peacefully among others but some still refused to adapt. to continue on as though nothing had changed.

among these groups lay quite the predominant one - the species of jorogumo. a notoriously cruel species to men in particular, often leading those they wanted to pry on into a unfortunate fate. and never wavered in their ways, even as others did they minded their own and continued on in theor chosen path.

this of course made them unpopular, know only for their cruelty and violence. so from birth you had been cast in that light. your kin's years upon years of tales automatically assigned to you and that's what was expected of you. wether or not you enjoyed indulging in your ancestors habits, the area where you lived feared you. so much so that they constantly attempted to drive you out.

but you would leave if you could, no opportunities had arisen however. and your time in your area would soon be cut short as an opportunity had soon presented itself. it arrived in the shape of a large ship at your local port, you saw the opportunity and took it.

stock was running low and the nearest area available was a new one. however if they passed up the opportunity, the crux would not make it to the intended destination. so beidou took the brave choice of docking there. it was quaint yet housed all materials and supplies needed and for reasonable offers - perhaps this could be a nice point to make a recurring spot.

the locals were welcoming and friendly aswell. although what did peek her interest was when one particular vendor advised she stay clear of the area especially given most her crew were men. and when she pried they told her the tales of jorogumo that stalked the local area. she had never heard of such people despite her various travelling and so it was natural she became curious.

although they hadn't meant to stay longer than a couple of days so she doubted that she could have time to learn more. on the day before their departure she had met you. you quickly recognised that she was indeed the captain and your best shot at getting out of here. you had no clue how this kind of thing worked so you hoped that asking would be enough.

beidou always prided herself on being a good judge of character in first impressions, it's how she built such a good team afterall. but she couldn't quite pin your character. she could only make out that you held quite a bit of power and held something akin to genuine kindness. she was pleasantly surprised by your straight forward approach on asking to join the crux. but she couldn't just let anyone on.

she could tell deep down that you would actually be a great new member to the crux but again she couldn't just take your offer. and seeing as they had a day before departure she set up what could only be described as a mini trial. sure it may be unusual for her to do but it worked. everything was going well for you, you passed and the woman you now knew as beidou allowed you to travel on the crux with them. you even started getting along with some members!

until it all got ruined the minute before your departure. you were still very wary of steering clear of any residents that may recognise you and out you before you had the chance to leave. but one resident seemingly ruined it all by seeing you and immediately calling out warnings for everyone around you. this shocked beidou who was currently stood right beside you and had half a mind to have a go at the person who dare disrespect a member of the crux. but preferred to get both sides of the story first.

to avoid getting any misconceptions, she immediately dragged you off to a room on the crux to understand what was happening. you were absolutely dreading this. if you lied and then she found out later than you were sure to be kicked off but even telling her now would risk you ruining your chances of leaving that dreaded area. but you settled with telling the truth.

beidou was slightly confused yet giddy in a way. she was now faced with a problem of your origins but had met the jorogumo she wanted to meet after hearing your tales. but it seemed luck still wavered in your favour as beidou offered you a deal. she would still let you join the crux as she wholeheartedly believed that you would become a great member but for the safety of her current crew, she made you promise to never hurt anyone and made it very clear that if you did she wouldn't hesitate to get rid of you.

you jumped at the opportunity and accepted. and it worked out for both of you. the members of the crux soon began seeing you as a member of their crew despite any initial worries and you proved to be a very useful asset to them. and beidou would often admire your power and hidden kindness from afar. you truly were a treasure to the crux.

3. your favorite party

well i had quite a Few parties you might say, some i can't even recall but my objective favorite would be xiao + jean + albedo + zhongli .... also known as the expensive team with everyone being 5*s but i at least get this right. it's really fun and really strong, i did a lot of exploration with this team especially in the chasm since actually the lack of elemental reactions means that there's less constraints for proper rotations. double anemo/geo means anemo resonance which is great for exploration and geo resonance which is just a great universal buff i'd say this was the team i had most fun playing. i cleared some spiral abyss content with this team as well and they did great. classic moryana with ayaka + mona + diona + venti was my overall best and strongest team, i did a LOT of spiral abyss with them. i don't use that specific lineup for world exploration though, usually i'd swap mona for kokomi at least and diona for like whoever. there's kokocharge (i made that up) typical lineup is kokomi + fischl + beidou + xingqiu/venti depending on needs since i mostly used this for spiral abyss or fast clearing domains, specifically the one with the rifthounds. it's not really comfortable for casual playing though since it's mostly just capitalizing on chain reactions and with world exploration you'd prefer single hit big damage kind of attacks. my ayato teams were a mess but when it came to abyss i made like a fucked up national comp with ayato + xiangling + bennett + sucrose which was really hard to play. national comps in general are just way too complicated with their rotations for me but i mean if they do damage ......... i also have a specific setup for a domain which was ayato + yun jin + bennett + sucrose. tbh i enjoyed playing ayato but i wish his teams were more coherent or at least in my time

in my current account i'm enjoying nahida + lisa a lot as a duo.... aggravate is really good and so is hyperbloom but i need a hydro other than barbara

27. how much do you cook if you do it

i would think i cooked about as much as the average player does, i did enjoy my healing foods but the ones that buff become kinda obsolete at some point in endgame. i used to do those gacha rituals with like making a bunch of food that the character likes before pulling them but i stopped at some point

35. a random headcanon

here's another thought, it's kind of between a headcanon and a kin memory? dainsleif is called the boughkeeper but we don't actually know how what or why. like what bough is he keeping. this came to me in a dream or popped in my head or something which is why it might be a kin memory but i interpret him to be the guardian of irminsul. he has close connections with that tree at least and it's also safe to speculate that he has special access to it since he's able to manipulate memories and his weird "immunity" to the khaenriahn curse being probably related to how he's able to shift the properties of the universe at will. one of the biggest questions that still remain today is how exactly traveler is a descender but their twin isn't, i think it's because dainsleif was able to incorporate them into the script of teyvat through irminsul manipulation. what does this mean? i can't tell you..........

[vampacidic]

i once submitted both kokichi ouma and tadashi yamaguchi kin memories as creative writing for school

good on fucking you anon. god fucking bless. can't say ive done this but uh

last year i watched a girl turn in a poem based on beidou genshin impact. complete w a slide show background w beidou in the back. crunchy as hell image though

for history this year our final was to just Make an interactive Thing based on a historical event. and i made a choose your own adventure based on the xyz affair. and i had a couple of my classmates test run it to see if they found any typos and i shit you not. this one boy got 3 slides in and went 'do you write fan fiction'. absolute gut punch

in creative writing club we had a like. get in the circle and share our writing (yay) and there was this one kid who brought up writing fanfic and my teacher. god bless her heart. was like 'oh i used to do that. does anybody else do that?' and i (stupid) raised my hand and then i had to tell the creative writing club i write enstars fanfic and having previously told the teacher i was writing cannibalistic ghosts. she has put two and two together. good fucking lord i'm sorry mrs [redacted]

basil fan art in art class. horribly embarrassing

[little-lily-love]

I want to add reader-insert fanfictions for my own selfship caregivers and I was wondering what the best place to start would be!

Due to the large amount of Jinx kins and Yae Miko lovers, I'm assuming they're winning this- but I'll see. Can't promise I'll be able to/have muse to, but this is to get an idea of what the community would like to see.

Also, if you want to reblog to get more responses, please put in the tags whether you prefer first, second, or third person for reader insert fanfics!!! Otherwise, it would be super helpful to comment it.

[youaremysunshine-court]

My top 3 fem hoyoverse characters

1) Elysia

2) Yoimiya

3) Shenhe

Elysia is first bc two main things 1) Elf ears 2) Pink. She also fits my main type in fem characters which is charismatic and flirty. Much like Boa Hancock! Also her story is incredibly bittersweet. I even have her clothes that Hoyoverse designed based off of HoH/E

Yoimiya is second bc she reminds me a lot of my childhood with the whole fireworks and since my birthday is early July.

Shenhe is third bc I kin her so much. She has past experiences that makes it hard for her to connect with other but she still wants to. Also I really like her friendship with Beidou. It’s nice to have that someone who makes u feel welcome and doesn’t expect u to be a certain way.

Honorable Mentions

Durandal and Eula!

Durandal I really love because of her gameplay no matter the battlesuit. Also I like her backstory a lot and the way she treats Kiana as a sister is very sweet. She’s a character who endured a lot and remains to be thoughtful and kind. I don’t really know how to describe her personality but I love her regardless. Sometimes I wonder if she would’ve became the HoTE in the current era if Kiana never existed.

Eula is the first Genshin character I fell in love with! She was also my first main. I really loved how buttery smooth her gameplay is and I have her C1. I’m still struggling to get Claymore tho. Focusing on her personality I didnt really understand it at first (mainly because no one really talks like her in the modern days) but I love that despite her family’s history she chose to become different. Which I can somewhat resonance with. I find her design very pretty. Originally I shipped her with Yanfei but I understand why her and Amber are very popular. She will always have a spot in my heart.

[geospark]

Beigguang has me in a chokehold because I kin beidou. If I start reblogging both things. I'm not sorry lmao. I'm rotating two things in my head at the moment. And whoever has followed me for something else. I am hilariously giggling. You're being taken on this ride with me BITCHES

1,2,15 :)))

i have already done 15 but not 1 and 2 so i shall answer those ^^

1 - Who are your favourite character(s) at the moment?

My favourites consist of my kins and f/os. So my favourites are: the anemo boys, hu tao, fischl, nilou, qiqi, beidou and sayu

2 - Who are your least favourite character(s) at the moment?

Dottore. Lore wise. But play style wise, Barbara because being affected by hydro due to her healing isn't always great. Dori but only because of hiw mora obsessed she is. And lastly, Paimon. It's a love-hate thing with her
