#genshin orchestra au

[h4msanta]

The super cool @kanonavi and I created an incredibly detailed Genshin Orchestra AU! There is so much that can be said about it, but here’s the trombone section for now!

Wriothesley is a bit of an old and jaded criminal justice major who has been at this university for way too long. Yanfei is a law major and Hu Tao is a mortuary science major, and they both still have hope and joy in their eyes :)

Wriothesley becomes one of the girlies after showcasing his dry wit in rehearsal, and Sigewinne is very happy that he now has friends who get him to do activities. Hu Tao and Yanfei don't have a car and Wriothesley does, so he is quickly roped into driving them to rehearsals, and then to get groceries, and then to go shopping... and then be weird in the Taco Bell drive thru at 11:30pm

They take him to get boba for the first time and he likes it! Now they show up late almost every week because they're getting fun drinks :D

While you're here, go look at my friend's art of the oboe section!

[mushroom-kin]

The Oboe section - Xianyun, Nahida, Tighnari

This is part of a very complicated Orchestra AU cooked up by my friends @h4msanta and @kanonavi, I will leave the explaining to them when ever they feel like telling the world about it. The document of this is currently 9 pages long.

They are the oboe section of an University Orchestra group. Xianyun is a professor that just ended up joining, Nahida is a genius prodigy who is a student at this university when everyone else thinks she is the daughter of some professor, Tighnari is wind section lead who is very helpful but can be strict at times.

This is also to celebrate both Nahida and Xianyun on banner! I hope everyone gets who they want. And I am going to try my best pulling for a Xianyun while she is still on banner.

[memezonebottomtext]

Here's a series of 6 MMD renders inspired by the Genshin Orchestra AU by @h4msanta and @kanonavi. 3 renders for both the Trombone and Oboe sections, with one being a casual hangout, the second is supposed to be some or all of the members in a somewhat funny scenario with their instruments, and the last of each set is the section in rehearsal. There would have been a 4th image of the sections in performance, but I at least want to know the surrounding sections to really get that 'orchestra' feeling and not have it full with a bunch of empty seats... Okay I won't lie, this is an... attempt to see their document for myself, but I still do want to do more of these renders, as it was instrument renders that got me hooked into MMD, also I like composing orchestral music. Some personal head canons which I have tried to articulate in these images;

The Oboe section (especially Tighnari) are biology nerds, and Tighnari himself likes to write Oboe solos based upon various plants, whether they get played or not, is up in the air.

Xianyun thinks Tighnari doesn't know that Nahida is a prodigy and doesn't need his pointers, however Tighnari does know that, but he doesn't really care due to his personal observations; Nahida is an excellent soloist, but a little fast during ensemble performance.

(This one's inspired by one of my music teachers) A few years prior Wriothesley tried his hands in a touring Jazz band to make a few extra dollars to keep himself stable, long story short he found himself burnt out of Jazz way too fast and was forced to quit after a late submission almost failed him out of Uni. That's it for now. Also if you're wondering why Tighnari is holding his Oboe like that, I did it because I didn't want all 3 of them to be laying their Oboes on their laps.

Fic writer asks: 5, 14, 17?

3, 5, 15, 18, 19, 27 for you!

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

I had an AU thing for Zhongli where he is actually a deified folk hero, much like some of the gods in Chinese pantheon (e.g Guan Yu or Zhong Kui), and he plays the role of Hou Yi in this story (because I'm obsessed with him being an archer).

He starts out as a normal guy, and got tasked by the emperor that he serves to think of a solution to save the land from getting scorched by 10 suns. These 10 suns are actually Jinwu (三足烏) and got playful but did not know they were harming the people (or didn't care). So when negotiation didn't work for them, Zhongli shot 9 of them dead with his bow and arrow.

Despite saving Liyue, Zhongli got himself exiled because the emperor feared his influence and power, yet dared not execute him outright lest the people riot. For his sin of murdering its siblings, the last jinwu cursed him with immortality. 

The story is supposed to follow how Zhongli will inevitably lose the people and places and things that are dear to him because of the curse, but the only thing that stays constant is his bond to jinwu, even though all the bird does is to mock and taunt him.

I couldn't actually figure out where their relationship was going though, and gave up.

14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

Hmm... for Genshin Impact, it would be either Gift (Rezhong) for the cuteness and intimacy or spoonful of sugar (Zhongchibai). I'm fond of palace dramas and the scenes that I enjoy most are the 'behind the scenes' where people play a front before those they are not close to (among many other reasons, especially between the emperor's women and the emperor himself) and only show their true colours when in a private setting.

For DCMK, it would probably be Be Not Afraid because of how unsettling it is. I actually wrote that fic on pen and paper during free time at work and I'm immensely proud of how it turned out. The segmented, seemingly non-continous structure feels like it would adapt to a visual medium well.

17. What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?

Researching dirty talk and humiliation for a fic (I forgot which one) as well as non-sexual d/s stuff people could do and 99.5% of it turns me off so badly. I had to come up with it myself. It's not my personal preference in reading or anything where humiliation is achieved by calling the bottom degrading pet names. It just feels so, so cheap. So that was one thing I learned about myself.

Also: One of the emperors that ruled ancient China loved pens (calligraphy/writing brushes) so much that people kept sending him pens as tribute and gifts. At some point he got to over twenty thousand pens in the palace and he had to officially go NO. STOP. NO MORE FUCKING PENS. (but in a nicer way). Also when the emperor shows up he has a whole orchestra playing music (emperor bgm) upon his entrance during special events. (information obtained from museums) (you probably know this already)

Bruh, I'm coming home from a concert, for once not horny and motivated to write an Orchestra AU for Genshin and then I get infected with horny.

Genshin impact KH and ff15 high school au:

Maya: *pouts adorably* hmph

Meanwhile

Yui: *in Orchestra class*

[monocaelia]

thinking about... genshin orchestra au

specifically about first violin childe and how competitive he is as your rival that always taunts you behind the stage. you think he’s all talk, but the moment he steps on stage he’s like a different person; all signs of playfulness gone as soon as the violin rests on his shoulder.

[bluepapermints]

Update*

Added the last piece in the «An Audience of One» illustration set, of Kaeya letting out his frustration on unable to do anything to save his adoptive father, Crepus via intense piano playing.

Thus, the full depiction of my orchestra set, is the last intense piano chord

*************************************************************

Just me and my brainrot with modern AU based on their Genshin Orchestra attire, where both Diluc and Kaeya are both musicians,and they both wanted to perform for Crepus but couldn't.

mondstadt characters and what instruments i think they'd play

part one of my genshin characters and what instruments i think they'd play series! part two / part three

notes: holy fuck mondstadt has a lot of characters. the 2.1 livestream has ignited my creative juices LOLOL this is also a modern!au and a crack fic kind of thing. bit of background, i'm cellist (tho i haven't played in like a year now,,, growing up things haha) and i used to play in a youth orchestra so i'm just going off of stereotypes of musicians :p

albedo

definitely plays the violin, you can't convince me otherwise

i bet he's never gone lower than first chair

has a superiority complex

keeps up with practice, hates it when people play out of tune/out of time/when other people play full stop

literally the perfect student

amber

recorder player

nobody believes her when she says she plays the recorder because she enjoyed it in year 3 (grade 2, i'm pretty sure, for you americans)

massive recorder nerd—don't ask her about her instrument or else she will pull a mary poppins and do a show-and-tell of every type of recorder she has, its purpose, retail price, the exact day of the exact hour of the exact minute she bought it, so on and so forth...

barbara

certified vocalist

sings in a church choir

has the voice of an angel so when our lord and saviour, jesus christ, rises again, he'll think he's still in heaven

a/n: christians, dont come for me im joking

bennett

yes he plays the triangle

can't play anthing else for shit

no, he's not a percussionist, he only plays the triangle

still likes to practice though (even if his part is only one note)

diluc

don't be fooled non-musicians, that's a viola in his hands not a violin LMAO

constantly bullied by kaeya for playing the godforsaken instrument (it's a musician thing - violas aren't as popular as violins)

tries to pretend he doesn't give a fuck but he always ends up caving and arguing back

diona

piccolo

only went through with playing the instrument to annoy other people

"who needs range when i have...... thehighestfuckingmusicalnotetoeverexist"

the note could be out of the human hearing threshold and still be out of tune

"you're new here, you wanna hear my—" "NO"

eula

guitarist

after gigs with the band, everyone thinks she's off to bang girls but she's actually gone to feed the cat at home

sticks up for her poor buddy diluc only to be hit with the "ew are those frets?" and "where's your sheet music?"

no matter, she will seek her vengeance

fischl

trombone player

super edgy and cool for being the only female trombone player in her section

has to deal with "tromboner" jokes and other dirty jokes but pretends not to hear them "for i, fischl, the prinzessin derverureggrgsf do not speak the vernacular of lowly mortals"

jean

plays the french horn

really friendly, hangs out with other french horns

the leader of the horn cult mum of the group

the person everyone goes to for help or to practice with

kaeya

would 100% play the saxophone

he knows careless whisper like the back of his hand

calls his saxophone the "bendy sex whistle™"

never practices his part and just wings it in rehearsal like a boss

klee

there's this famous piece called 1812 overture by tchaikovsky which contains cannons.....

need i say more?

lisa

flautist

elegant mfer, probably was marie antoinette in her past life

can think of 20 ways to commit homicide with her flute and not even a single strand of hair would fall out of place

will give you a pretty smile after the crime too

mona

clarinet player

is willing to kill the whole section just to get first chair

says her skills are because of natural talent but she actually practices really hard at home

one time, kaeya jokingly replaced her sheet music to one for never gonna give you up and she accidentally rick rolled everyone

noelle

tuba

the only tuba player who comes to rehearsal to actually learn something

has to control herself when the tuba next to her offers her a snack from inside their case

usually the one in her section who has to plan practice sessions because everyone else is just terrible

razor

percussionist

is somehow super skilled

his basic numeracy skills are out the window and he probably hasn't learned how to read sheet music but somehow still manages to secure his entrance

rosaria

joins the orchestra thinking she could learn the bass guitar

is instead roped into playing the double bass by kaeya and venti

has the arms of a bodybuilder after always carrying that absolute monster of an instrument

not like she didn't have them already methinks

sucrose

is also a flautist

she's the other flute stereotype:

quiet, reserved, a nerd

so cute and wholesome, too good for this world, must be protected at all times

venti

is a harpist

could play a simple gliss and the whole room would clap and give a standing ovation

has 1418973492 bars of rest until the next note, hence why he usually falls asleep during movements and misses his entrance but would never even think of admitting to his mistake

[eggmarr]

genshin boys but they’re orchestra nerds

characters: zhongli, diluc, childe, kaeya

a/n: this is literally the most random thing but i’m feeling really self indulgent right now so here, maybe a part two with something different idk. also my orchestra knowledge only extends to the high school level so far so just keep that in mind kk? (also if you wanna know i play violin so yes i am the leading expert on orchestra nerds/j)

(kinda high school au/vaguely modern au, gender neutral but mentions of girl-majority fan clubs, mild “i’m not like others” mentality of teen age, and very little suggestive themes)

———-/

zhongli

he is the upperclassman first violin who takes his school breaks to help teach the other younger classes, the one each member looks up to with some mix of envy and attraction when the teacher continuously praises his posture and technique. the younger girls swoon over him, and you swear he must be keeping the program running just from the new recruits hoping to catch the eye of such a talented young man. you’re really only there with him for the extra credit, but he’s just so...him. does that make sense?

first violins in a string orchestra generally carry the melodies of pieces, and as a result the section itself is highly desired. nothing is wrong with being a second violin, it just couldn’t be zhongli aha; concert black is like all black dresswear, which differs from place to place. it’s usually dress pants and a nice shirt, but different areas can have things like uniforms or specific dress.

you are quite staunchly against being a cliche, but by the stars if he doesn’t stop being so charming and smart with that voice of his every time you join him with the younger grades, you’re going to make a very stupid decision the next time you see him in concert black.

diluc

most definitely a bass player. mysterious and somewhat enigmatic, a quiet private lessons kid who volunteered to play with your class to offset the amount of smaller instruments. the others gossip amongst themselves about how his backpack is emblazoned with the crest of a famous academy and how they’d very much like to “test his vibrato technique” (wink-wonk), but you spot how a small cord of blue beads dangles from his backpack and the way he keeps a small smile even as he’s rolling his eyes at someone on the other line of the call.

vibrato is a technique used to warble and waver the sound of the string, which you may have seen used in media occasionally (it’s basically that finger movement they do while playing). the string bass is a big instrument and i mean,,, diluc in a blazer and collared shirt with a high ponytail feels like something that appeals to a lot of people

his brother is rather moody, but at least kaeya knows when to back off (most of the time). but the way diluc looks at you when you’re looking away - he wouldn’t be so mad with a wingman, would he?

childe

first chair viola. this smug, flirty little rich boy has been a pain in your ass since you met him at the organized rehearsal, and were (begrudgingly) sat to his right at the connection of your sections. i mean, this is a collective of the best student players in the state, and he’s…challenging you to bowfence with him? there’s someone strange about this “childe,” and you’re going to find out before the three days are up.

childe would play viola just because it’s the most slandered instrument so naturally he wants to master it and become best at it. bowfencing is like the young orchestra kid’s show of dominance and only flirting technique until they adapt. this is based lightly off of my time with all state/all city orchestra, but it differs from place to place.

you’ve finally got some free time right before the performance, when you see the boy you babysit on the weekends; teucer, with his older siblings tonia and anthon at the door. oh, they’re not here with your family, but here for their brother? you’ve heard a lot about this sweetheart, why don’t they point him out before the concert so you can finally meet the elusive ajax?

kaeya

also viola, but much more casual about it. it’s his hobby, which is code for he saw how his adoptive family treasured their expensive talents and wanted something to share with his new and distant brother. a new student transfer; he says he’s practically inept at it but the calluses on his fingertips beg to differ. the teacher makes you his tour guide, and you squint at his mannerisms when a wave of deja vu overcomes your senses. but, who is this boy, and why does the look of blue hair in low light look so familiar?

kaeya originally wanted to play bass but in typical brotherly fashion, he and diluc made a bet which he lost. chamber music is usually played by a small group of players, with each one having a single part. yes, this is a childhood friends/light amnesia trope, don’t blame me blame netflix for making wish dragon so cute ok? good.

you and he are from two different lives, but he’ll be damned if he lets those circumstances tear the two of you apart again. being partnered for the end-of-year chamber project is supposed to be his saving grace, but perhaps a red-haired deux ex machina may be of better use here?
