"M'sorry" Anya mumbled and sniffled, grimacing at the blood from her nosebleed. She didn't think the crowd was this big and this packed. But it was. . .and the thoughts were so much that she waws overwhelmed again. "Can. . .I have a tissue please ?"

ok here’s a fluffy eoos headcanon after that heart wrencher of a chapter

i can imagine once they’ve seen each other and cried from pure relief after seeing the other isn’t dead, and once the misunderstanding is cleared up (that childe had to stab zhongli or he would’ve died, and that childe isn’t actually dead) their conversation would eventually come to the topic of marriage.

zhongli: “so.. do you.. still want to marry me? i know the timing probably isn’t optimal and i’m not asking for us to get married right now i was just asking to make sure we’re on the same page-”

childe: “m-married???”

zhongli: “..yes? you did propose to me after all. once my contract had been fulfilled i was going to start planning our wedding.”

childe: “w-w-when did i propose to you????”

zhongli, now very confused: “…..d-during our lovely dinner at luili pavilion? when you confessed your love to me and gifted me all of those lovely presents embellished with the dragon and the phoenix imagery? when i gave you the three-banded ring? and i said ‘not right now’ because i didn’t want us to get married without you knowing the truth of who i was?”

childe, absolutely flabbergasted: “zhongli we.. we kind of needed to be in a relationship before i could propose to you and ask you to marry me. you don’t just randomly propose to your best friend out of the blue!!”

zhongli, thinking back to all the dates they’ve gone on, the time they’ve spent with one another after moving in together, the homemade meals they’ve shared, and the fact that childe literally serenades zhongli every single night before bed: “b-best friend… my dear heart we’ve been dating for at least a year-”

childe: “WE HAVE???”

Hu Tao / Yungguang starter <3

At midnight, the only sounds that could be heard are the creepy, yet gentle whistles of the wind brushing gently against the leaves and branches of the trees, living on Wuwang Hill. It was accompanied by the scurried sounds of prey hiding away, collecting little amounts of food for themselves. There was not a single soul in sight - apart from the Wangshang Funeral Parlour director - Hu Tao. Oftentimes, she strolled on the Hill almost aimlessly, communicating with the spirits that had yet to crossover.

On this particular night, however, Hu Tao stumbled across something which had piqued her interest far more than it should have. Among some bushes lay a gap in the cliff that had never been there before. Curious, she moved herself inward, only to realise that she could not go back. "Aiya, what a pickle..." she mused to herself, though she couldn't help but shudder. The more she walked, the less cramped it seemed to be. It was cold, but slowly got warmer. The next thing she knew, she had walked through another hole in the cliff. However, once she got out, it closed up, as if nothing had been there before.

“That’s strange,” she whispers to herself, unsure whether this was real or a dream. She opted to walk back to Liyue harbour, where she could see everything lit up. Odd, it was quite dark beforehand. People gave her odd stares as she strolled into the harbour, and she noticed that some familiar faces looked… odd. Like her friends had all been mutated or fused together to create one being. Such a thought made a shiver run down her spine. Unfortunately, her luck wouldn’t get any better from there. The next thing she knew, guards had arrested her and taken her back to the Jade Palace. Regardless of any fight she tried to put up, she found herself in front of Yungguang — not that she recognised her as Yungguang.

“Lady Ningguang?” Hu Tao questions, head tilted to the side as her eyes scan over the body of the woman in front of her. “Yun Jin…” she whispers, looking at her blankly. She knew this wasn’t some weird dream now. I mean, after the way the guards had roughly handled her, it wasn’t all too surprising. Dumbstruck, her eyes were laser focused on the being before her, unable to process what was quite happening.

Diana was stuck trying to prevent Calidora and Raymundo from arguing like their parents did with each other. The kitsune got angry at the two demons and smacked their heads together. "Stop arguing! They will like you both a equal amount." She sighed. Calidora and Raymundo rubbed there now sore heads. "Sorry mom..." she facepalmed.

"Come on you two! I think they are here. I wonder if this Diana likes huge piles of candies for a hello?" He was holding a huge bag over his shoulder with both Tanjiro and Hu Tao following holding presents too.

"That depends if this other likes them. Just give them to her and I'm sure she will." Tanjiro sighed walking but sees Hu Tao smiling.

"I can't wait to meet them!" she was excited for the three to still walk when hearing some argument. They look to see Diana, Calidora, and Raymundo there.

"...Uhhhh, hello there." Itto smiled to the group with the other two giving a friendly hello.

Muse: In fact, between my brains and your brawn, I'd say we make a pretty good team.

Diluc: We do.

Diluc: Although, technically I have both brains and brawn.

Muse: True, but-! I have the personality and winning smile, so...

Diluc: *starts laughing softly*

Muse: *gasps dramatically* Was that a laugh? Did I make you laugh, Diluc!?

alright whenever you have time (and also the energy) I would love to hear your thoughts on the lantern rite epilogue! Have a good day <3

we're going to pretend that people following me will care abt genshin 3.4 lantern rite spoilers so we're gonna put my entire deranged mess under a cut hahaha

*gently holds* MY XVS......

truly this lantern rite had EVERYTHING although truth be told, like, the way venti was kind of shoehorned in was a little disappointing. i felt a little bit baited by the way the 3.4 TRAILER HAD THAT ONE CUT RIGHT where it goes from VENTI PLAYING THE LYRE in the harbor to XIAO LOOKING UP AT THE FIREWORKS outside of wangshu inn, and then we see the xiao bit in the actual cutscene on day 2, but absolutely none of venti until the epilogue. and also we never see venti playing the lyre during the event story so it's like. whoever edited that pv absolutely had xv on the brain. like. what the hell was that it was magical i feel higher than a boat right now

BUT ANYWAY like i don't even care how obviously shoehorned in venti felt bc the interactions were all SO PERFECT i love love loved them. i loved the way hu tao just RAN INTO WANGSHU INN and started shouting for xiao, and then talked death to him until he was like "yeah sure i'll go to your dinner". they are so besties i love them their friendship is everything to me.

THE WAY. XV INTERACTED. IN FRONT OF US. xiao just like "well. um. there's this. um. um." TOTAL PANIC MODE n venti had to SAVE HIM with like "huuuh? did you forget already? i'm a bard!" like HELLO why do they need a COVER STORY why are they making up COVER STORIES TOGETHER WHAT WERE THEY DOING TOGETHER IN THE MARSH EARLIER like what kind of GAY SHIT--

also i'm pretty sure when xiao started explaining his relationship to venti, venti fluttered his lashes at him. like, i recorded the whole quest (bc i didn't last year with the final part n i REALLY WISH I HAD bc i STILL remember the dRAMATIC GASP i had when we had that one beiguang moment in the cutscene), and when i rewatched it earlier i was like. "HANG ON. DID HE JUST FLUTTER HIS LASHES" n rewatched it like three times. maybe my game was just stuttering BUT IT DEFINITELY LOOKED LIKE IT and maybe i'll gif it when i get home from work tonight

BUT ANYWAY (2) point is that the expression work this time was ON POINT like whoever's doing all that over at mhy hq needs to get a raise pronto. venti going (¬‿¬) at all the other immortals was so immaculate. you aren't subtle little man!!!

it's probably just shipper goggles on to an extent, but i feel like the xv implications were really strong this time around, with the parallels to that fontch guy's ancestor, and the guiping n everything... i'm kind of disappointed that we don't get to actually hear any of venti's unobstructed thoughts on xiao; like the ribbing n implications at the dinner are a lot of fun (like, they were totally making out in the marsh before dinner. we all know this. it's very clear imo), but it kind of makes me wonder why we can hear xiao like... do his Very Heavy Implying abt venti's importance to him (though again, he doesn't outright say anything-- we know the full extent n depth of xiao's feelings abt venti (romantic or not) bc we can read his character stories, so technically really he hasn't told us jack squat in the current canon timeline), but the best we get from venti are smug expressions. those expressions are very telling, ofc, but a very unhinged part of me wishes that mhy didn't feel the need to wrap up the xv in layers of allegory and metaphor and just outright heard one of them say, "this person is very dear to me." i know it's just the rabid shipper in me, and i need to be sedated, but i was really kind of hoping that we'd see the allegory w/the fontch guy's ancestor n madame ping lifted away at the end n, like, see or hear it be bound to xv outright. just for purely self-indulgent purposes o(--(

but anyway (3) i also love love loved all the playful ribbing, witty banter, and prev event callbacks btwn the characters!! hu tao n venti canonically making a pact to be poetry friends was SO GOOD you just KNOW hu tao is gonna commission venti to compose a JINGLE for wangsheng advertising purposes later, while zhongli n xiao are like, "this meeting never should have happened. we are all doomed." somehow i legitimately forgot that xq n venti know each other from irodori n was like, "...huh?" when xq mentioning knowing venti for like, a FULL two seconds. the way venti was like "damn you know i was right outside this entire time. can you believe the way some people ignore the wind?" n zhongli was like "hahaha (✿◡‿◡) the harbor is very busy this time of year (✿◠‿◠) it is very hard see or hear an individual person's whereabouts (^人^)"

AND ALSO. PAIMON BEING ELECTED AS THE "MOST DISTINGUISHED GUEST." PAIMON YOU GOT IN THE WAY OF MY DERANGED SELF-DELUSIONMENT MANY TIMES THIS LANTERN RITE BUT THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY. i thought it was interesting how no one nominated venti. like i was kind of expecting xiao to do it (but ofc he nominates traveler) which is fair honestly, n then i was like "IS LUMINE GONNA NOMINATE VENTI????" but then she nominated paimon n paimon was like "wait... me?????" n it was just EXACTLY like a bunch of adults telling the little kid they are the most specialest ever n they should have the honor of doing The Thing. as that little kid growing up, i know the feeling very well lol

there are other bits i'm just,,, rotating around in my mind, like venti and kazuha hanging out on the alcor, the way xiao goes "i can't taste the difference in xiangling's special almond tofu" when you go visit him afterwards, ALL THE GANQING THAT HAPPENED IN THE MAIN STORY I'M SO HAPPY FOR THEM I'M SO HAPPY FOR ME I WON VERY HARD THIS LANTERN RITE, n like,,, yeah!!!!

I've not done Baizhu's story quest yet ( Hu Tao's questline is currently cockblocking me, since it's a prerequisite ), but the concept of Baizhu potentially becoming immortal is one I may play around with regardless of how canon goes. It's obvious that whatever he has is extremely taxing on his body, and may even, potentially, kill him ( I'm not sure what the intricacies are behind his contract with Changsheng, I'm still exploring. )

If he DOESN'T manage to find a way to become immortal on his own, then I may go with the idea of Zhongli having played a hand in this contract, and thus, having some control over where Baizhu ends up come his mortal departure. Maybe he comes to work alongside Zhongli, personally, in a newly established contract. Would he still be able to live NORMALLY? Who knows, but I figure . . . if Zhongli can find a way to help XIAO, maybe he can find a way to help BAIZHU, too?

I don't know, I just want him to have a long, healthy life ( even better if it's with someone he already, per canon, trusts and works with. )
