#dehya just losing all sense of it
rczc · 2 years
Note
i’m very much not normal about dehya having a heat cycle … she just gets so feral now that her hormones and senses are heightened to a near unbearable level. shes needy enough to hump your thigh when you’re too busy to give you her full attention and she keens at all the sweet words you offer her, near tears the moment you finally use your mouth on her :(
:(((
humping your pillow with her bleary eyes screwed shut trying to imagine you beneath her, a pair of your used panties between her teeth. she’d be so pent up and sensitive, practically pouncing on you when you make your way into your shared bedroom. kisses you fiercely, all teeth and tongue while she removes your clothes, agitated fingers fumbling with the buttons before resorting to just ripping the fabric off you.
she doesn’t have time for this,,
pushes you back to sit on the bed, legs hanging off the edge before lowering herself onto your thigh, a shudder running through her as she begins to slide back and forth on you. and it’s like you’re in a daze, never having seen dehya like this or anything close to it… it drives you crazy.
playing with her ears, every soft pinch and pull causing her body to jolt, sensitive pussy practically pulsing as it drools down your thigh while she purrs. though they quickly turn into moans when you latch your lips around her nipple, sucking and biting the way she likes as you look up at her face with stars in your eyes. she’s so fucking cute.
but dehya can only be so patient, she can’t stay away from you any longer. needing to feel you so desperately. you recognize a neediness in her eyes matched by the pout on her lips and the erratic rise and fall of her chest. it leads to you kneeling on the floor, her legs thrown over your shoulders and locking behind your head as you eat her out like an animal starved. the intensity making her thighs squeeze together, tightening around your head as you alternate between sucking on her clit and fucking her dumb on you tongue, moaning out at the sweet taste of her that fills your mouth. you don’t think she’s ever been this aroused. but before she has the chance to cum on you, you pull away nipping at her folds to see those blue eyes stare down at you. they’re unrecognizable, a shadow of lust and carnality overtaking them transforming her gaze into something feral
youre close and you know she’s close too, the both of your legs intertwined as you scissor your cunts over one another, pussies smeared with slick and drool, wet to the point that every movement is accompanied by a lewd squelch, a sound that has dehya’s ears flattening against her dark hair. your praise spurrs her on, sweet words remarking on how pretty she looks like this, how hard it must have been for her to go through this alone, how sorry you are for not being there and taking care of her earlier, but you’re here now. you lay your hand on her mound, stroking over it before pushing back the dark, curly hair to press your thumb down onto her pulsating clit.
there you go baby there you go you coo, eyebrows drawn together to pout at her, dark skin covered in a sheen of sweat making her glow like some kind of angel.
can you cum for me dehya? cum all over my pussy?
youre not sure if your words are reaching her, or if she can even hear them over the sounds of her own cries and mewls. but it’s not long before the both of you feel yourselves reaching your high, with the tightness in your core growing more and more intense, nerves shooting sparks all along your body. and as dehya’s about to cum, she lunges forward sinking her teeth into your shoulder, mumbling out apologies and expletives while she fucks your pussy, circling her hips and pushing into you, feeling herself squirt onto your cunt that spasms below her as your nails dig into her muscular arms. she rides it out, grinding against you, her clit catching onto yours with every roll of her hips until she’s drained every last drop
and as she does in a rut, she had to make sure to cum inside you, scooping up her juices and fucking her fingers into you to mix with your own release 🥺

genshin characters as lethal company players
cw: none! just silly headcanons. 100% crack includes: kaveh, kazuha, columbina, kirara, kaeya, cyno, ayato, wanderer, xiangling, xingqiu, mika, layla, nilou, chongyun, thoma, childe, itto, dehya, dottore, albedo, lyney, bennett, ganyu, venti, furina, zhongli, neuvillette, candace, collei, arlecchino (that's a lot) a/n: don’t take this too seriously this was literally a shower thought after watching the sumeru cast play the game agfsghjs go easy on me !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
knows everything about the game ↳ kaveh, kazuha, columbina, kirara, kaeya
⇢ already has a “boss” pin on their in-game uniform when you play together for the first time ⇢ is the one that chooses which moons you guys go to. also buys all the resources (flashlights, walkie-talkies etcetc) bc they don't trust anyone else to do it ⇢ could probably speedrun the game if they wanted to, they have like every map memorized ⇢ if they die you’re ALL fucked. good luck ⇢ always brings back the dead bodies no matter what (says it’s for the quota but actually just feels bad leaving you guys there)
mostly there for the laughs but is maybe surprisingly pretty good at the game ↳ cyno, ayato, wanderer, xiangling, xingqiu
⇢ don’t let them find the airhorn/clown horn unless you want them to destroy your eardrums ⇢ somehow Always encounters monsters. but they get out alive (most of the time) ⇢ has died to quicksand and gotten clowned for it in the vc with other dead people in it ⇢ when you go sell items on the last day they ring the bell repeatedly to provoke The Worm to make everyone panic ⇢ scares you on purpose. may or may not have gotten themselves killed by you beating them to a pulp because you got jumpscared by them one too many times
always on edge, even before the game starts ↳ mika, layla, nilou, chongyun, thoma
⇢ gets the “most paranoid employee” note when you all come back from a moon ⇢ most likely to sacrifice themselves (to finally catch a break) ⇢ screams a lot. has gotten eaten by eyeless dogs more times than u could count ⇢ sticks with you so they’re less scared (but their paranoid Vibe just makes you scared too) ⇢ the one that dies first or is the last one standing. either way they're stressed and can't think properly
your personal guard dog ↳ childe, itto, dehya, dottore, albedo
⇢ “strength in numbers!” they say right before a thumper mauls the shit out of them ⇢ designated enemy killer. carries around a weapon to smack them with it (their weapon of choice is a yield sign) ⇢ has saved you from a snare flea stuck to your head multiple times (always expects a “thank you”. they bonk you if you don’t say it) ⇢ walks in front of you to scope out danger ⇢ also sometimes very tempted to beat you with their weapon just to fuck with you (dottore finishes the job)
the lost puppy ↳ lyney, bennett, ganyu, venti, furina
⇢ gets “laziest employee” every single time because they never find any scrap to bring back to the ship ⇢ has an awful sense of direction in the game and somehow loses sight of you even when you're exploring the moon together ⇢ gets grounded by your group and is tasked to guide people in the facility through the cams with their walkie talkie ⇢ their inventory is always full but only with useful items like a pro flashlight, a walkie talkie and a ladder ⇢ speaking of ladders, they've accidentally fallen in a hole multiple times and that's why they always need a ladder on them. to get themselves out.
bonus: watches you play! ↳ zhongli, neuvillette, candace, collei, arlecchino
⇢ watches the game either very invested or very confused ⇢ may or may not backseat without realizing it ⇢ contributes to the bits (not on purpose: zhongli, neuvi. on purpose: candace, collei, arle)

yellow roses ✿
summary: hanging out w/ them | platonic!
chars: diluc, yelan, dehya, venti, ayato, ganyu, kaveh, kazuha, xiao.
cw: alcohol in venti’s.
a/n: my entry for @i23kazu’s ambrosial event!
Tumblr media
diluc - flower picking
this guy definitely has a soft side for flowers. it isn’t uncommon he’d ask you to join him for a lazy stroll around dawn winery and the neighbouring mountains whenever he feels a bit overwhelmed. whether it’s an endless field or a singular flower, they’re all equally admired. he’d never pick the threatened species, but for the ones he does, they’re stored in pretty crystal vases scattered throughout the manor.
yelan - stargazing
yelan prefers the night over the exposure to the blinding sun. and the stars; they’re like a mix of both. dainty glimmers shining through the dark, poised and elegant, guides for those lost. and although she herself hardly loses her trail, admiring the treasures above is never unpleasant. and learning about them is something she finds quite intriguing: constellations, names, and ancient tales. don’t be surprised if she ever begins rambling about stars. she’d get you interested too.
dehya - shopping (specifically, cosmetics.)
if anyone had an impressive makeup collection, it would be dehya. if anyone could be extremely talented with it, it would be dehya. there’s simply nothing horrible about the beautiful arrays of color-coordinated selections displayed on the shelves of expensive department stores. when you both go shopping, she’s a big expert on the best products with the best values. she’s never starved of coupons and plenty of generous friends who treat you both to discounts.
venti - karaoke
when venti’s drunk, he can get a bit wild. firstly, he sings. which isn’t out of the ordinary, but the contrast with sober-venti singing and intoxicated-venti singing is distinguishable by a mile.
sober-venti singing:
lyrics make sense
sounds like a gift from celestia
he knows he’s singing.
intoxicated-venti singing:
tends to be on all fours, sprawled out or hanging off the chair.
doesn’t know he’s singing
doesn’t make sense in general
sometimes sounds like dvalin.
but he really is a great karaoke partner! big energy, good music, a very happy time!!
kamisato ayato - cooking
ayato views cooking as a pastime rather than a task, a hobby that one can enjoy with rewarding results. but perhaps that's because he’s never had to cook or learn, having a diligent housekeeper who already makes exquisite dishes and meals. so it’s a bit of a surprise (as well as a warning) that he wanted to cook as a way of spending time with you. it’s chaos guaranteed. you know for sure that no one's is going to be eating tonight.
that is, if the estate is still standing.
ganyu - watching the sunrise
the pale sunbeams emerge over the clouds high up on mt. aocang, peaceful and pristine. for ganyu, it's her getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. where the only intrusion from the silence is the occasional song of early-rising birds. the gentle breeze blows the crown of intertwined qingxin into your hands, an exchange you made with a crown of silk flowers that now delicately sits atop her head.
kazuha - watching the sunset
it’s a mystery how you and kazuha became friends. it just sort of happened. you remember distinctly, though, the first time you laid eyes on him on the decks of the Crux, where he was high above on the crows nest, silouette against the setting sun, he turned to you instantly. it made you wonder, how did he know someone was looking at him?
but those questions would soon be answered by the interesting figure himself. now, the sun no longer has one admirer, but two. each day without fail, no matter the weather or situation, the sunset would always be watched with soft smiles, laughter that could be heard from below, and conversations that lasted until the moonlight streaked across the seas.
xiao - trying festival foods.
it was you who pestered and bugged him continuously to attend the lantern rite’s festivities with the rest of liyue. to not just watch from a distance where none could see him, but to go down to the streets and see the colorful stalls and pop-up events. surprisingly, but also not surprisingly, it was he that asked you to visit a small booth that specialised in desserts like almond tofu. specifically almond tofu. 
so now, you had an adeptus that was munching on tofu as you toured the streets. his eyes follow the line of food stands lining the street, and it’s so obvious he wants to try them. but will he admit it out loud? no.

I love how Hoyo is trying so hard to make Cyno seem intimidating but we all see his "desperate puppy that wants attention" side
Anyways
Your desert dweller pining idea gave me reincarnated tragic lovers vibes
Like reader was with Kasala in the past before the forbidden knowledge was brought to the desert, infecting them with eleazar and killing them
Which was probably part of why Kasala didn't fear death in the end knowing it means reuniting with the one he loved
Then centuries later you both are reincarnated in the same era as an eremite and Cyno. Ultimately meeting and falling in love just like in your past lives but now separated because of readers loyalty to the scarlet king
(Heck maybe it was the same in that past but switched with Kasala's devotion to his lord and reader being the one pining)
And then when the truth of the two gods are revealed you both get flashbacks of your last moments together centuries ago, the sight of reader's scale covered body slowly losing life with Kasala sitting right by holding tightly to their hand, unwilling to let go even if he has accepted this reality
The least could be done is letting your final sight of him be a happy one
"I love you even in the face of death, there nothing that could take this away..."
As reader close their eyes a small smile is visible on their pale face, clearly at peace with Kasala's words
"... but perhaps...in a new world, we can peacefully live together"
I'll let you decide what happens next
Side note: imagine Kasala or Cyno(to be a tease) calling you his eternal love or something similar. I wouldn't even need to have eleazar to die they'd just kill me with that
Also after a week of scarab nightmare cyno is finally maxed other than getting him decent equipment but that's besides the point
- Vagabond anon
Holy shit I just read a whole story, thank you so much for the good fucking food, Vagabond !! AAAAAAA
Holy shit like holy shit, I'm going to cry, I'm giggling right now especially the "eternal love" part Cyno would totally be the type to say that with a teasing smirk everytime. Oh man I can even imagine Reader being part of Rahman's group and clashing with him at least once hhh (sorry I've been craving writing fight scenes)
What if after regaining your memories just like how Rahman's still griping with the fact, Reader is also still like trying to make sense of the fact, right? But on Cyno's case, down bad boyo, is literally just trailing you while you pace back and forth trying to convince yourself that reincarnation exists. That's where desperate puppy that wants attention comes from mmmm - maybe Reader being apprehensive in the present is because they mostly remember how Kasala is distant due to his devotion to the Scarlet King jgnhhh
Like I'm imagining this is after act 4 and before 3.2 so he's stuck with you in the desert that whole time and he won't even let you breathe. Taking every opportunity to go to you like:
Dehya: We'll need Rahman's group to assist us here -
Cyno: *immediately stands up* I'll inform them right away.
Candace: We don't have to yet, we're just going over the plan -
Alhaitham: He's already gone.
Omayghad I love this au so much, holy crap, I'm foaming at the mouth *hugs tight with consent* Vagabond, thank you for accompanying me on my Kasala brainrot;;;;

4ggravate Pre-Proposal (Pt. 1)
—where it's just three Dendro fools simping over Cyno and wanting to have a perfect proposal for him
Linked Posts:
Part 2: 4ggravate Pre-Marriage: Doubts post
─── ⋅ ⋅ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───
Dehya and Candace are some of the first to hear about the decision because Al-Haitham, who became close to the duo throughout his time in the desert and with Cyno, wants to respect his culture in the proposal. It seems disrespectful to forego his background and his family when asking for Cyno's life and dedication.
Dehya is unrelenting with her teasing, offering help disguised as friendly banter. He nearly regrets telling her when it turns out Candace is the one to offer the most help. She gives him a few traditions common throughout the desert, but the Temple of Silence does not share the same customs as she does.
She tells him how Cyno once mentioned how suitors will gift jewelry made of gold and gems during the engagement. The proposee's family usually receives a dowry of some type, too. Between giving the dowry and presenting the gifts, a marriage contract is written. Typically, it is between the father and the suitor, but the individual is often included.
"It is not for permission, necessarily." She clarifies when she watches the frown begin to form on his expression, eyebrows tightening. The memory of Cyno's reaction when he realized how deeply the former sages mistreated and used him rests heavy in their minds. At least she can verify how much Al-Haitham truly cares. "In the end, it is up to the individual to accept the proposal and make adjustments to the contract. Simply, it is acknowledging the important of our families."
Al-Haitham does pause for a moment in deep contemplation. "Yes, that makes sense." He ends up deciding on, though Candace offers him a small smile.
She shakes her head, "You may not understand them completely, but I'm glad you care to know about our traditions." He takes it as the sign of approval that it actually is.
He leaves with Dehya, who smiles contently throughout the entire walk back. She tells him a bit about their traditional wedding rings and wedding celebration customs before admitting, "Knowing Tighnari, I suspected it wouldn't be a desert wedding. At least now, it'll be like bringing the desert to him."
Al-Haitham rejects that notion instantly. "We cannot bring the desert to him. I know nothing of the desert and all I have come to learn was brought by Cyno himself. It would be a mockery to do anything besides welcome what he brings." Dehya's eyes blink shut as they pause in their journey. She can feel the familiar heat against her skin and the smell of the desert winds.
"You've thought about this a lot, hm?" She teases lightly, his completely honest affirmation making her grin, "Good." She says something in a dialect Al-Haitham does not quite understand. He can understand a few vague phrases, but she explains it to him without being asked once she finishes, "It is an old prayer. May your future together be filled with happiness and love that even when you reach the afterlife, you will traverse those unknown lands together."
─── ⋅ ⋅ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───
Tighnari and Kaveh are quick to agree to the idea. Truth be told, they both wanted to do something for Cyno and were debating something similar. Luckily, it truly felt as if everything was perfect for them. Al-Haitham and his endless pockets could definitely afford the dowry (though Cyrus' actual acceptance might be a bit more difficult to get with his outright disdain for his darshan), Kaveh works on designing the jewelry himself, and Tighnari works on creating simple (maybe a bit more detailed than the ones Dehya described) rings for all four of them.
When they go to discuss their plans to propose with Cyrus, Al-Haitham is prepared to give an entire presentation. Tighnari takes over before Kaveh's stressed rants can start and before Al-Haitham says something that might make them lose Cyrus' good graces.
Cyrus frowns when they ask if they are allowed to propose to and to marry Cyno. "Asking me to give him over is quite the archaic request." He muses.
It is Kaveh who answers this. Tighnari and Al-Haitham may be more logical, but Kaveh is intently attuned to his emotions and the emotions of others. He knows Cyno and his desires well, "Cyno respects your opinion and would be hurt if we did not try to include his family." He pauses for just a second to gather his bearings. He doesn't want to bare his entire heart to his soon-to-be father-in-law (hopefully), but he knows the man respects honestly as much as his son. "Cyno always makes sure the memories of our families are a priority. As one of the only living relatives he has, your blessing will mean a lot to him... and to us as well."
Cyrus is not a man of few words. He has spoken at length about jokes, the main reason Cyno tries them to lighten the mood. Still, the air constricts Kaveh as he simply stares at the architect with a frown. Cyno might be scary to some, but his body becomes rigid under the intense staring of the General's father. However, he will not avert his eyes. He knows discomfort well and knows, as his throat tightens and nearly chokes the air out of his lungs, that the comfort and love of Cyno is worth every second.
"You are good kids." Cyrus finally nods at Kaveh and Tighnari. Kaveh's entire body eases at the affirmation, sucking in a sharp breath through his teeth in relief. He nearly misses how the man warily eyes Al-Haitham for a moment before he shakes his head with a low chuckle. "As long as Cyno is happy, my blessing is yours." It's a needless threat, Cyrus knows, but he feels better nonetheless.
("Do they make you happy?" He asked his son when the eventual topic of his partners came up.
In hindsight, it was quite a strange question to ask because the answer was so obvious. "Do I seem unhappy?" The younger man asked, the confusion answered by a fond smile.
Cyrus has always been better at expressing his love compared to his two top students. He ruffled Cyno's hair lightly, "No. I just want to know how they treat you."
Cyno nodded, accepting the explanation completely. "They love me," those three words were enough to ease Cyrus' heart, "more than anyone else can.
"And I love them the same.")
"Another word of warning." Cyrus mentions as they are leaving his house, "Lisa Minci will not allow you to marry him if you do not invite her to the engagement."
─── ⋅ ⋅ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───
They, heeding Cyrus' advice, tell Lisa, Collei, Nahida, and Nilou. At one point, Tighnari gets worried they are telling too many people before even asking Cyno to marry them.
Al-Haitham just says, "They're family," and that's that.
Family, Tighnari echoes, when Collei runs up to hug him in her excitement. Family, he smiles, as Lisa smacks Kaveh lightly for waiting so long to ask the question. Family, he accepts, as Nilou and Nahida offer their help with wedding planning or support if they ever need it.
Family, he wishes for, when Cyno meets them for dinner with a bright smile, "I'm home." He glows despite the days of work coating his skin in dirt.
"Welcome home, love." Tighnari welcomes him closer and showers him with all the adoration he has been holding onto in the pits of his heart in anticipation of tonight. Tonight, to the world, they will become a family in every sense of the word.
Family, Tighnari learns, comes with the heat of the desert without any of the burning discomfort.
He cannot completely understand the clear discomfort and stress showing on the faces of the other two. They all know Cyno; he who is more devoted than anyone else will definitely say yes. And if he doesn't, he is nothing but kind. There is no world where they will be rejected cruelly.
The question hangs in the air, Cyno's eyes wide in surprise as he scans the three as if checking them for honesty. "Really?" It is a crime how soft his voice is. It is uncommon for him to be uncertain and it aches Tighnari's heart.
"We wouldn't ask if we weren't serious." It is a bit sassier than it needs to be, but his voice is firm to scare away his doubts.
It must do the trick because a breathless huff escapes him. Kaveh worriedly steps closer as garnet eyes glisten under the flickering candlelights, "Cyno—?"
"Yes." He answers them, and the gentle laugh that is slightly clogged by the tears welling in his eyes is the loveliest sound. "Yes..."
The second time is enough to rip Al-Haitham out of his stupor to reach out and catch Cyno's face in his hands. He presses a kiss to the top of the General's head, sighing away his stress, "Good."
Kaveh nearly shoves the man aside in his haste to hug Cyno. The latter's laughter fills the air as Kaveh falls onto his lap, "Sevens above, I adore you." He says, planting kisses on his cheeks.
Cyno can't get a word in as Tighnari's tail curls around his arm, dragging his attention to the side. Whispering against his ear and affectionately nuzzling him, "We're yours forever."
Forever... Forever sounds lovely.

More Mostly Platonic Dynamics I want to see (part 2):
Albedo and Xiao
Both believe they could lose control of themselves one day. Both are “trapped” in routines in a way. Plus calm and serious? Analytical and logical? Realist and pessimist? Potential.
Ayato and Yae Miko
Two sly individuals with a lot of power and a potential to be ignorant of the most baffling things to be ignorant of (Ayato, actually ignorant, and Yae, intentionally).
Venti and Beidou
Okay so we got one anemo user (Kazuha) who’s free-spirited and wants to travel the world, and you’re telling me Beidou wouldn’t love another one with the same goals and sense of exploration but also loves to drink and can be both energetic and calm/wise other times??? Give me drunk games and then rare moments of sober #deepthoughts
Albedo and Kazuha
We already got a little glimpse of these two at Irodori but seriously we have a philosopher and a scientist duo here?? They’re both gentle and calm? Thoughtful individuals that can deal with eccentric individuals (Beidou and Klee)?? Need more.
Itto and Xingqiu
Something tells me Xingqiu would either be easily riled up by Itto or completely flabbergasted to the point he wouldn’t know what to do. Aka Itto is the ‘payback Chongyun’. Comedic duo
Hu Tao and Venti
Kinda wanna see the girl obsessed with death and can sometimes speak a bit flippantly about it interact with the guy absolutely destroyed by it. Eccentric & eccentric. Similar humor maybe?
Also potential fun shenanigans of Barbatos meeting Morax’s boss
Guizhong and Xiao
I just wanna see a mother-like figure with Xiao. Did she ever meet him? When? For how long? How close? Did Xiao ever confine in her about things he felt he couldn’t talk to Morax about?
Bosacius and Itto
Dude I swear Bosacius would’ve taken in Itto like a little bro and gave him a family when Itto was rejected by his own people/town. Maybe himbo shenanigans?? At least pranks galore.
Yae Miko and Scaramouche
She doesn’t really care for mortals, neither does Scaramouche seem to; she’s Ei’s secondhand woman, she gave the gnosis to him—I wanted to see that!! They both have cutting words but Yae’s a little more aware than Ei so I just wanna know how Yae would talk to Scara.
Layla and Sayu
I hear Layla needs/likes to sleep. Here we have Sayu. This could be a wholesome duo.
Dehya and Beidou
Powerhouses that probably have loud laughs once they grow on each other. Like I don’t think Beidou is as cautious as Dehya, but when they finally start to trust each other… yes.
I also think it’d be funny if Beidou or someone from her crew casually brings up the fact that she defeated a some kind of dragon/sea monster/‘god’ without a vision and Dehya just. Doesn’t believe her. To the point that she actually gets riled up and Beidou just can’t stop laughing at Dehya’s inability to accept this. Dehya’s like, “That just doesn’t make sense. It’s impossible.” Meanwhile Beidou is just like, “It happened,” all nonchalant-like and sending Dehya into another spiral and asking for specific details (“so what did you do here” “uh huh, and I’m sure he just took that”)
Candace and Lisa
Candace is like. A lot more motherly than I initially thought, so I feel like her and Lisa are those overly affectionate aunts that’d shower you in gifts.
But if you disappointed them…
Razor and Cyno
Of course I want to see the dog boys together. I think they both have trouble communicating with people for different reasons, but one thing they both understand is body language—specifically threatening body language.
They might not trust each other at first, but it’s only a matter of time that they can relate through the difficulty of understanding complex human behavior, especially in language.

Uhh spoilers for the 3.2 livestream and some leaks (no plot stuff though)
I too watched the livestream. It's interesting and I had some thoughts.
First: trailer starts with the POV character opening their eyes - they're looking at Alhaitham's back, and he is doing the V.O. On a nearby desk, there are knowledge capsules (green).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We don't know whose POV this is. Most likely it is Traveller's, but we have had other POV shots before (in 3.0, we had the crazy eremite guy's POV). If it is Traveller's then I assume this is Alhaitham telling them his plan, after Cyno and Dehya have already left to play their roles. If it isn't Traveller, then it could be a Village Keeper - perhaps they've managed to restore their sanity with the knowledge capsules somehow? And I suppose Alhaitham would be a comforting presence (lmao) as a well known Scribe since the Village Keepers are all also from the Akademiya.
But this is an odd way to start the trailer. "Imagine, -" like, the V.O. is a hypothetical. If the POV is the Traveller, why does it seem like they're waking up? I don't think we'll be in the desert past the beginning of the quest, so we would have to be injured very early on to wake up like this.
What's weirder, though, is that the POV closes it's eyes again. Like this isn't someone waking up, but someone blinking as they lose consciousness. Maybe it's not, maybe that's just where Hoyoverse decided to cut it. But there are more interesting lines throughout the trailer.
Tumblr media
We get very little non-Nahida non-Scaramouche stuff. We do learn from Cyno's V.O., however, that whatever plan they're following is one Alhaitham concocted. This makes logical sense since he's the 'brains' of the operation, and it's unclear as to whether or not the Akademiya know he's a traitor. While Cyno is in the desert here, the trailer shows Alhaitham casually strolling through the House of Daena (big library) -
Tumblr media
(he's very tiny but you can see him on the left of the bridge.)
There's an elevator in this area that was previously inaccessible unless you glitched it. Assumedly, Alhaitham is going toward it and will enter the restricted section of the Akademiya despite working against them (keep this in mind).
We also have this:
Tumblr media
I'm not sure who is speaking here - it could be one of the Sages (it's a male voice) and there is no clear indication of who they are speaking to. I believe it's Alhaitham, since we know that we're acting according to his plan, and "sacrifice" implies a level of loss. Like, if Dottore or Scaramouche were planning on killing the Traveller, I don't think it'd be a "sacrifice".
So here's my theory:
1) Alhaitham comes up with his plan and tells everyone else off screen. Whether or not he's entirely honest does not matter, the point is that everyone else is sent off to their assignments and Alhaitham tricks us (drugs us? Uses the knowledge capsules somehow?)
2) we end up in the rainforest again. Somehow. The Traveller doesn't know what's going on and we are mad about it.
3) Alhaitham makes a deal with either the Sages or the Fatui in the hidden room inside the library. If it's the Sages, then it could be selling out our location (hence "sacrifice" the Traveller). If it's the Fatui, then perhaps it's something to do with the dendro gnosis? You'd think Dottore would already have access to it since he can mess with the Akasha, but I can't think of anything else they'd care about. The deal in this case would include Dottore leaving Sumeru (with the dendro gnosis) and would explain why he's leaving so suddenly.
In return, Alhaitham might ask for a cure for Eleazar or maybe a way to treat the Village Keepers. Or something less noble. I really can't get a read on him lmao.
4) we think Alhaitham is a traitor. Cyno and Dehya know that he's not, since he is working for the 'greater good'.
5) Scaramouche and Irmunsul. Drama. I think we'll get reveals and such but it'll be pretty straight forwards.
6) Quest ends with Alhaitham fucking off somewhere. He's pretty suspicious and he very recently tricked the Traveller. The hypothetical he lays out at the beginning of the trailer could a) be him attempting to explain his reasoning, or b) he is cut off and we don't yet have the full picture of what he's talking about:
"Imagine this: we have orchestrated our plan and successfully rescued Lesser Lord Kusanali. We have changed Sumeru's entire political landscape." I just feel like it's cut right before he says 'but -'.
Supporting leaks:
Apparently, Alhaitham's banner will be 3.4. This gives time for the Scaramouche banner in 3.3 to resolve his character arc somewhat with whatever the story is, before maybe jumping into an archon quest interlude with Alhaitham for his banner? I'd enjoy it.
Also, it's rumoured that Kaveh (Alhaitham's roommate) will appear in 3.2. Most of his current in-game content (voicelines and the message boards) reference him exclusively with Alhaitham, so I figure if he shows up he's gonna have something to say about Alhaitham.
Anyway, I liked the trailer a lot. I'm not sure where all the connective threads are, but I think the focus on the Scara boss fight was to hype up the cinematics while keeping the plot itself vague. Unless that boss fight does truly take up 60% of the quest :'))

FINALLY FINISHED THE ARCHON QUEST AND I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS OH MY GODDDDDDDD (3.2 spoilers utc, you have been warned)
First of all, dehya making us pay with a smile and calling us pretty 🥺🥺 so soft I love her she's amazing marry me now pls
CYNO W HIS 'because its work' 'because I trust you' I WAS LOSING MY MIND that was it that's what finally hit the nail in the coffin for me I absolutely wholeheartedly adore him now
THEN I fuckin CRIED when tighnari got injured, I was sensing smth bad was gonna happen during the scene with him and dottore but I didn't think he'd get hurt like THAT (angst potential though,,, the cogs are turning)
The MIND GAMESSSS it felt like I was experiencing death note all over again with how convoluted the one-upmanship was getting LMAO I loved it though they did it rly well with this
That boss fight? The BEST boss we've had in this game so far, the mechanics and different phases were so fun and the domain to get to him was arguably the best so far too- those puzzles and moving platforms were GENIUS
THE PARALLELS WITH THE SABSERUZ FESTIVAL?? TRAPPING SCARA IN A MEMORY LOOP? SO GOOD
AND SCARA AFTERWARDS WAAAAA the scene w nahida taking the electro gnosis and him suddenly becoming all desperate for it? I was screaming SO HARD and then mans just FELL TO THE GROUND 😭😭😭😭 (angst potential once again!! Lots of spicy angsty content today <33)
GOD WHEN NAHIDA STARTED CRYING?? I was kind of disinterested as soon as the scara fight was over and then suddenly I was a MESS 😭 I'm glad I was right about my assumptions that nahida was rukkhadevata though (well, I was close enough I suppose), it was rly emotional to see that (and the parallels of nahida's experience of self and godhood in contrast to scara's is SO GOOD that could truly be its own mindless word vomit)
THE BIT W DOTTORE AFTER?? "teyvat's skies are fake"???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I need more information and I need it NOW!
I'm SO much more interested in what the heck is going on with dottore now- did he really get rid of his other segments or was he able to fool nahida? (with the mind games going on throughout this quest I wouldn't be surprised if he did manage to work his way around it to knick the gnoses and dip)
AND THEN KAVEH OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT MAN his voice,,, phenomenal,,, "you don't understand beauty and romance" MOTHERFUCKER UR TELLING ME HE'S A ROMANTIC TOO? I stand no chance he is the new fave I'm sorry Albedo you've been replaced after two whole years I'm obsessed with kaveh
Alhaitham turning down the chance to be grand sage was interesting but very much in line with what we've seen of him so far, so I really liked that they took that route with it!!
And Cyno being reinstated as general mahamatra 🥺 I was a big fan of him fully shunning the akademiya and all but considering that they're reforming and making the attempt to be just and righteous again, it makes a lot of sense for Cyno to take his position back, so I don't mind it too much (I definitely still have ideas for fics taking place in that in-between stage of him leaving and everything being sorted out though 👀 its a concept too tasty to resist)
SEEING DUNYARZAD UP AND ABOUT AGAIN I SOBBED I RLY DID I still think she deserved to have more than a generic npc design 😪😪 her and dehya though,,, they are in love u cannot convince me otherwise /j
LMAO NAHIDA STEALING TRAVELERS BODY that was so funny pls
WE'RE GOING TO FONTAINE NEXT FUCK YEAH i was for some reason convinced that it was gonna be natlan next then fontaine but man I am not complaining this is the nation I've been WAITING FOR
OUR SIBLING BELONGS TO THIS WORLD?? WE'RE THE FOURTH DESCENDER?? this part of the plot suddenly got ramped up a notch oh my goddddd, I cannot wait for the next batch of interlude quests to give us more info on that honestly (also big big probably bad theory that the unknown god is either the heavenly principles or just one of the other descenders)
Final thoughts: that quest was THE best we've had so far, nothing has even remotely compared to it- I thought the inazuma quest line was brilliant but MAN this blew it out of the fucking water. This is I think the first time I've really been into the quests enough to be actively picking apart the themes and parallels as I play through it too which rly says something about it.
I genuinely have so much more I could scream about but this post will become far too long, thank you anyone who decided to entertain me thus far and get to the end of this word vomit- have a forehead smooch 😗 and/or a cookie! 🍪

❝  you’re looking at me but you’re not seeing me.  do you know how that feels?  just see me.  please.  ❞ A god, a divinity in all but unspoken words. It was the way of life for Dehya until moments like these when that wretched name was on the tip of the tongue, when her existence was percived as more than that of mortal realms.
And she hated it. She loathed it.
Golden claw that grips him and the fangs that glisten threateningly as juxtaposed against the snarling vulnerability in her tone.
"Don't you dare speak of that name to me. Do not force my hand Thoma."
Pressure. Certain. Undeniable.
Learning about the legacy that she's left upon the desert in historical eras, a protective force of nature, a blessing of strength and vitality to many, connecting those dots had been a moment of revelation for when it all clicked. It left him so woefully ignorant to the sheer fire kept within her figure with this new age holding the possibility to clash so vehemently with her past. The way her eyes switched to such a ferocious stance had told him enough.
So it'd be within this abandoned home, one of many reclaimed by the gilded sands, dusted and age that her arm would seize his with a sense of threatening tenacity. The grating scale of demand to Dehya's voice found itself stinging as bad as the force used to seize his arm, to ensure any and all branches of attention found itself focused entirely upon her being right now.
History would dictate that the person before his eyes right now was Bastet. What their experiences on the other hand forge is the identity known as Dehya, the very woman he's come to learn so much about during his willing adventures within the Red Desert. Even now, the scalding intensity of the sun holds heavy upon his back, leaving his shadow to billow over her figure as they stood upon the doorway. Pain keeps him consciously aware, from the physically made to keep his attention active, to the sort within her expression that leaves his heart feeling heavy.
Was.. that part of her life so heavily despised?
Tumblr media
"You..!" The tension of the situation finds itself kicking up the internal heat. Within a moment his face found itself directly before her's, exchanging that very intensity in a firm showing that his heart wouldn't so easily submit. Reaching her.. It felt as if this dynamic shifted anymore than it did, he truly would lose the important footing in this position.
It certainly didn't feel good all the same, grounding in what feels like a wound of her's.
"I want to learn exactly what that is." His voice holds fire of its own, careful and controlled. "What do you present? The days bygone? I'll admit that my curiosity did get the better of me.. And getting you in this tough spot has never been my intention."
"But is this history so heavily despised?" Gold would find itself clashing with ebony, just as his jade eyes bore into her brilliant irises in kind. Even the tension within his breath couldn't be hidden, the weight of this side of her identity now better recognized.
