#like the honkai story has its own lore and if you just took the time it’s entirely different from genshin

Akrasia has met its end, so heres a quick FAQ with a few questions you might have about it !! (Minor spoilers if you havent finished the ficc below the break!)

What does Akrasia mean, and why did you name the fic that?

Akrasia - The state of mind in which someone acts against their better judgment through weakness of will.

I came across the word while doomscrolling pinterest while I was writing Akrasia. Fun fact, the original name for Akrasia was actually Ice Shards, Mask Fragments. But Akrasia as a word stuck with me, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the word really suited Sampo in the fic, and his constant back and forth with himself over his feelings for Gepard. So yeah, I renamed the fic.

Was Akrasia ever going to have a happy ending?

Nope. From the very beginning, Akrasia was meant to have an ambigious/bitter ending. It felt fitting, to me at least, because of Sampos nature, and the whole angle I took with his character.

You can actually find various hints about the ending throughout the fic, mostly in Sampos dialog and thoughts. I tried (key word tried) to write him with a flighty sort of air around him, a kinda sense of doom from the start. Sampo knew what would have to happen the moment it started.

What happened after Akrasia?

Up to intepretation! Personally, I think Gepard didnt end up joining the Astral Express, instead asking them to just keep him up to date if they ran into Sampo, up until the time the epilogue happens. Reverse Serval situation, because he is honorbound and Gepard is a military man at heart. He knows where his duty lies. But like I said, its really up to you guys and what you wanna think happened.

WHERE IS LYNX ?!

So I started writing Akrasia the month of Star Rails release, (MAY 2023 TF?!), before we knew anything about Lynx. Because I didnt want to mischaracterize her, I ended up just not writing her explicitly

Will there be any more Akrasia fics?

Yes, actually! I made an Akrasia series on Ao3 for a reason. Im planning on doing a few DanCae shots to compliment the Starch7th ones already there, as well as a few side stories for the GePo/SamPard moments that were in passing in the main story. Things like missing scenes, more sexier times, and elaboration into characters I didnt really get to explore in the base story. But Akrasia itself is done and dusted. All fics pertaining to its small lil universe will be under different names.

How old is everyone in Akrasia?

I wrote and percieved Gepard and Sampo to be in their early 30s, maybe extremely late 20s. Seele and Bronya are mid 20s, Serval is mid 30s and Natasha is late 30s early 40s. As for the Trailblazers, well we know Dan Heng is probably far older then we think, Caelus and Stelle are.. weird, and March cant fucking remember. So I wrote them all witu the idea of mentally mid 20s.

Why are Stelle and Caelus in Akrasia?

cause I wanted them to be. Like, genuinely I just didnt want to choose and I wanted both Starch and DanCae so yeah. I just said their both here.

If you want the internal lore reason, the Stelleron was unstable enough that it ended up needing another vessel to contain all of its power. So Stelle and Caelus are just really weird twins, basically. They share a level of physical connection outside of looks as well, (ie, the matching scars from cocolia) but only to extreme , permanent damage. They also trade off who uses the lance and the baseball bat at their leisure.

Why are there some plot inconsistencies ?? (they bug me the author alot)

because its fanfiction /j thats not my excuse

Nah theres actually a reason for it. Akrasia originally was written to be aroind 10k words long, and clearly thats not what fucking happened.

So i ended up going back and editting alot of scenes, removing one scene entirely that actually was pretty important and i tried to make sure i caught every error but- well yeah i missed some.

If your curious about said scene, well- Remember the drunk Sampo scene? Yeah originally they had a drunk hook up and that was the main catalyst for the story. I ended up completely scrapping the scene and changing it around as it became more of a slowburn and the scene felt more and more out of place with the story i wanted to tell.

Hell in the original manuscript for the fic they never even got together, so theres that -

Will there be a sequel to Akrasia?

maybe? Im not planning to have one but the possibility is there, though im not sure what it would entale. For now, just indulge yourself in the side stories.

Do you allow fanwork ?

hell yeah mate, and this goes for anything I post on ao3. your more then welcome to draw or write stuff based on what Ive made, to take inspiration from the ideas Ive had. Writing, alt ending, art, hell playlists if you want(strangers by kenya grace is my assigned akrasia song btw). As long as you aint takin it and claimin it as yours.

Man, I never even realized the whole ‘genshin fans using honkai as a backboard for theories’ was a real thing until recently. It’s really insulting sometimes because there won’t even be a semblance of a connection and people who haven’t even played honkai will make incorrect assumptions ab the world and it just hurts so bad…

[maho-s-blog]

After I began to delve into the theory about the relationship between Honkai and Genshin, I cannot but draw parallels with the lore of the Chronicle of Evillious. What about? If Teivat is really an "ark", then it is very similar to the attempts of the inhabitants of the second period from the EC to create a utopian world without a virus that drives everyone crazy and makes them deviant.

Therefore, for the sake of interest, I decided to choose the eyes of God for the characters of the most famous arc from the Chronicles of Evillious, "The Saga of Evil" (or "Story of Evil" - whichever translation you prefer)

I tried not to focus on the color scheme because it would be quite obvious. It seems to me that the eye of God should be more connected with the personality of a person than with what colors he is dressed in.

[English is not my native language. I translated it through Google Translator. So there may be mistakes.]

ANEMO

Germaine Avadonia

While many people would give Germaine the Pyro element, I would give her the Anemo element. Because all she did was to make people free from the tyranny of Riliane, and, in fact, that's exactly what Venti did!

Yukina Freezis

A writer who began writing books at a young age and, as a result, spent many years of her life uncovering old secrets and stories about the owners of vessels of deadly sins. Traveling around the world in search of a forgotten truth could well be described as the life of someone driven by the wind.

GEO

Allen Avadonia

A brother who served his sister with honor and truth and as a result dead instead of her.

Perseverance, hard work - these are the most common traits that can be traced in characters with a Geo element. And this also applies to Allen.

Chartette Langley

A chaotic girl, capable of destroying a stone fountain with her physical strength. She is hardworking, but the gods have clearly deprived her of her ability to avoid trouble.

ELECTRO

Elluka Clokworker (Levia etc.)

If genius immortal sorceress, extremely similar to Lisa is not Electro then who

PYRO

Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche

The hot-tempered princess who burned the neighboring kingdom out of jealousy for the new passion of her ex (to whom she was engaged).

But after her actions led to the death of her brother, she repented.

Kyle Marlon

A prince who was betrothed to Riliane but ended up falling in love with a servant from the kingdom of Elphegort. His rash break of engagement disrupted relations between his countries and led to the genocide of the inhabitants of Eltfegort by Lucifenia. After this object of his love was eventually killed, he secretly joined Germaine in the revolution and hated Rillian and Allen until he found out that the girl he loved was killed by his sister on the orders of his mother. Abruptly rushed to kill his mother after that. Pyro, of course. How damn chaotic he is.

DENDRO

Michaela

The spirit of the forest, who took the form of a girl to help the sorceress Elluka in her mission. I gave her the Dendro element because in the end, when her physical human body was killed, she was reborn as a sprout of the Millennium Tree. And in any case, she (like a forest spirit) was created by the tree god Held. Although, in the end, is it possible to consider the rebirth of the human soul in the spirit form, but without its memories about his life a creation?

HYDRO

Clarith Netsuma

I thought for a long time where to put it. And in the end I made up my mind. Hydro. After all, Archon Hydro is the God of Justice, and Clarith has created a whole denomination, a whole movement in the local church that opposes discrimination against people. True, with these it could have been added to Anemo, but I'm sure that Clarith is Hydro. She's also connected to the church, just like Barbara.

KRIO

Keel Freezis

Seth's clone, frozen in a cryocamera and defrosted by chance. In this world without a patronage of the creator he build his life independently, by your own hands.

ITS END THANKS U ALL

Maybe I'll do the same about the other characters, but I'm not sure. Thank you for reading!
