[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Hey, Can I make a request with a s/o teaching Shenhe, Eula, Yelan, and Arlecchino how to play video games?

(Genshin Impact) Shenhe, Eula, Yelan, Arlecchino, Furina, and Clorinde's S/O teaching them how to play video games

Game: Animal Crossing

Shenhe has tried games like Genius Invocation TCG, but that one frustrates her more than anything.

S/O, then decided to show her a game that she for sure would enjoy: Animal Crossing!

It didn't require anything other than just a will to relax. Plus, it was just a cute way to do something together!

(Shenhe) "...Your character looks cute."

Shenhe is enraptured by the charming little animals, being fondly reminded of Cloud Retainer in a strange way.

She plays it a little bit in what free time she gets, but really enjoys it in S/O's presence. Though there is one thing that annoys her about the game.

(Shenhe) "This is the fourty-seventh time I have gotten the 'Sea Bass' today. Am I doing something wrong when I am fishing, S/O?"

Her ingame avatar has long white hair and wearing something far more cutesy and casual than her usual attire.

Part of her wondered if S/O could get her these kinds of clothes from a store so she could wear it in real life.

A/N: I've gotten more Sea bass from ocean fishing in this franchise than I've eaten bread in my life.

Game: Monster Hunter

Eula decided to indulge S/O in trying to teach her how to play a game. After all, it was better than doing nothing.

It takes her a second to get used to the controls, but she quickly learns how to attack and dodge.

Only when the game truly begins did she realize what S/O had picked out.

(Eula) "Are you trying to tell me you'd like to go hunting for beasts with me, S/O?"

Teasing aside, Eula is a quick learner and becomes very skilled at hunting the many monsters of the game, getting weirdly competitive about it. Despite the fact there was no player versus player element at all in it.

(Eula) "HAH! I finally made the best Master Rank armor in the game! Everything we fight should be child's play!"

She also loves the cat companions that are in the game and spends a great deal of time dressing them up in cute/hilarious outfits.

Though she will enact vengeance if anyone calls her out on that.

A/N: Man I can't wait for Wilds.

Game: Metal Gear Solid

Yelan usually rolls dice to see what her day off becomes.

And this time, it was to have S/O show her these "Video Games".

Yelan settled for some "Tactical Espionage Action" game, the irony not being lost on her at all.

She learns the controls and plays it extremely casually, being more drawn in by the absurd story and characters.

Yelan is usually laughing at the action, but still enjoying herself.

(Yelan) "Geez, is this how your world views agents, S/O? It's not nearly as cool as this game's making it out to be."

Part of her wants to try hiding in a box to see if anyone would notice, but she'd also like to still be alive and not caught.

But the temptation is always there, everytime the dice decides for her to play this game again and again...

(Yelan) "Hm...the explosions in this game are a little much, but I guess it's also not entirely inaccurate...Sometimes, anyway."

A/N: I GIVE MY LIIIIIIIFE, NOT FOR HONOR, BUT FOR YOUUUUUU

Game: Mario Kart

Arlecchino usually passes on any offer to play a game, not because she didn't want to, but because she likes to observe.

(Arlecchino) "Let the children play first, S/O. I will join soon after."

What she usually witnesses for Mario Kart is a bloodbath.

This game brings out something in her kids that she hasn't seen before.

Even Freminent and Lynette, some of her more reserved kids, turn to something feral when playing against the others.

She's equally entertained and kind of concerned, like maybe this game wasn't healthy, but it did bring everyone closer and give the kids something fun to do.

Arlecchino decides to jump in at many kids' requests, and admittedly isn't that great at it.

But she has more satisfaction in watching the kids have fun.

That being said, there is some sadistic pleasure she has throwing the blue shell and watching whoever's in front take the brunt of it.

(Arlecchino) "Fascinating what these video games can do to children. Do you have more they can all try?"

A/N: Coconut mall is the best map, change my mind.

Game: Subnautica

Furina is at first excited to try something new.

(Furina) "Oh, a game about the beauty of the ocean? I shall beat it no problem!"

But she didn't realize that unlike Fontaine's waters, (Which to be fair, held its own terrors), this was an alien planet's ocean.

She's jumping at every little thing, screaming as she's desperately swimming away from the tiniest fish or anything that even makes a weird noise.

(Furina) "W-WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?! I'M GOING BACK TO THE LIFEPOD!"

That's not even to mention the Leviathans.

The first time she saw a Reaper, she immediately dropped the controller and buried her face into S/O's arms in terror, yelling out something sounding like a curse and crying.

Furina doesn't like video games anymore.

It takes something like Endless Ocean to calm her down about the waters again, thinking that every video game ocean has a Leviathan now.

A/N: For me, that game is horror until I get the Prawn Suit, then it becomes Pacific Rim as I hunt down every Reaper near the Aurora.

Game: Baldur's Gate 3

Clorinde was intrigued by video games, but honestly wasn't too keen on the idea of trying it. It didn't seem up her alley.

Until S/O showed her a game like Tabletop Troupe, but this time without the fears of annihilating some poor Game Master's campaign.

(Clorinde) "...Do you mind if I give this game a try, S/O?"

Her expression doesn't really change as she's playing, but that's because Clorinde is really immersed in the world.

It's just a lot of fun to truly let loose and interact with the world and NPC's, no fear of dealing with any player trying to murder-hobo their way.

SHE could be the Murder-Hobo, finally. Not that she would.

She enjoys playing it in her off time, but nothing beats living players and rolling the dice herself however.

This game did give her a few ideas for some new campaigns however.

(Clorinde) "I'd be interested in seeing you play with me, S/O. What choices would you make? And by the way, in true Tabletop Troupe fashion, we're not save-scumming. Once you roll the D20, our fate is sealed."

A/N: OS TAV RO VA VIVOLKAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[sea-lanterns]

Silly Empress au thought!

So we know and love how some of the Courtesans top their Empress, and others have a more equal form of intimacy. But imagine if some of the other girls wanted to give topping the Empress a try?

It would probably start casually, just Keqing posing a passing question to Beidou, simply asking if the other woman would mind telling her how to best please their Empress as the top. Which starts put with just Beidou giving pointers to be more assertive and things of that nature.

Soon it reaches out, soon Yelan is showing Ganyu how to tie shibari knots. Dehya is taking Nilou out strap shopping. And Ningguang having Ayaka practice on her when they aren't too busy.

All of this being the first time all the Courtesans can keep a secret from the Empress. Leaving our poor girl none the wiser to the multitude of sexual training arcs going on for her.

And just imagine the Empress' surprise when one day she goes to her quarters, just to find all of them, every single Courtesan waiting for her. All sporting their own strap-ons and a mix confident smirks and nervous smiles.

Oh what a night our dear Empress would have with all of them wanting to show off how well they can please her.

~🐁

…Yeah the Empress is not walking for a while.

The Empress is capable of domming Ganyu, Keqing, Nilou, Ayaka, and Shenhe (on some days), but if those courtesans were to suddenly find an interest in topping, the Empress is screwed. (Literally) There goes the Empress’ switch privileges (╥﹏╥)

nsfw under the cut—————————

No because the Empress is so confused as to how her more submissive courtesans were suddenly tying her up and fucking her brains out. All wearing strap ons as they fill every inch and crevice of the Empress’ body till she’s stuffed to the brim with silicone.

You have Ganyu eagerly tying you up with what she learned from Yelan, while Nilou is spreading your legs apart and thrusting brutally into your cunt like how Dehya does—

And Keqing is making you suck off her shaft while Ayaka is pinching your nipples in between her fingers. All of these things which they’ve learned from the more dominating courtesans of the harem, and leaving you all confused because when did these girls get so bold?!

You could barely form a coherent thought as each of the subbier girls start to quicken their actions, going rougher, going harder, all the while your dominating courtesans watch from the sidelines. Proud to see their “students” use what they learn to utterly wreck your body even more.

Of course, the subbier girls of the harem are not as proficient as the doms as they run out of stamina pretty quickly. Not to fret, however! As the moment each girl takes a quick rest break, the dominating courtesans decide it’s best to take it from here and show them just how good they are at destroying their Empress.

You’re already exhausted and overstimulated from how the submissive courtesans played with you, but now it came to the real sex part, as each dominant courtesan takes their position over your trembling body.

Yeah, the submissive girls topping you was just foreplay to the others. The real fun begins now…

A/N: wrote this without any proofreading. Just pure thirst and thoughts.

“one thing you want for christmas?”

in which you inquire about their wish for the long-awaited day.

—includes all my faves; kazuha, xiao, candace, cyno, scaramouche/wanderer, heizou, shenhe, hu tao, ayato, kaveh, yelan (bonus: alhaitham, ei, tighnari, nilou, yae miko, ganyu, keqing, ayaka, thoma)

—gender neutral reader, fluff, established relationships, rather sus with yelan's. p.s. let's just pretend all of teyvat celebrates xmas lol

“for you to stay by my side.”

# xiao has seen it all. from the monsters he had slain, to the cries of desperate mortals, to the quietude of his solitude, to the grief of the aftermath of it all, to the hushed whispers of his last bits of sanity, all leading up to the gentle sways of the breeze passing the inn, enveloping you both in a rather serene atmosphere as you stare at each other's gaze, yours one of anticipation for his answer, and his of silent contemplation. when honest words akin to a silent plea for you to never leave him leave his lips—his sharp eyes immediately soften at the reddening of your cheeks in response.

# kazuha is nothing but a humble man. he does not seek wealth, nor fame, nor anything trivial that concerns his title as the lone descendant of a noble clan, or as the inspiring individual who directly went against the narukami ogosho's blade of lighting. he only wants two things—peace and tranquillity. luckily for him, those abstracts are found in you, being the embodiment of his real home no matter where you travel. kazuha firmly believes that he belongs by your side, and he hopes that you think the same should you agree to take him up on his wish.

# candace was more than ready to answer your question, which pleasantly surprised you. with how firm she is with her beliefs of being a descendant of the renowned scarlet king with the protection of aaru village, you would've thought she'd wish for the safety of her fellow people or something...she agrees with this sentiment with a chuckle of her own. “you're right. but me ensuring the healthy being of my village is a given. i simply wished that you staying as my partner...would also be a given too.”

# cyno, the general mahamantra outright admits this within a beat of his heart. he's sure this wish of his would have drawbacks on your part—considering his frightening reputation, but he knows, and is certain that you're willing to take it on for his sake. he trusts you with his whole being that you were ready to commit yourself to him just as much as he is to you. his resilience doesn't waver a bit when you come off surprised by his sudden cheesy advance, it only strengthens his resolve to remain with you for the rest of his life...or in other words...“since it's christmas...[name], will you merry me?” (💀)

“you.”

# wanderer thinks this whole thing is silly. christmas is silly. merely wishing is silly. your question is silly. and his answer is also silly—but it held absolute truth, no matter how much he denied. it was rather stupid to ask for something that was already his, but he couldn't help it when the words erupted from his throat before he could even think about it. truthfully, there's nothing he wants in this world more than you. you are his heart. you are his human. you are his lover. you are his everything. he embarrassingly sputters for an insult when you suddenly laugh at his immediate response to your innocent question, your hearty giggles filling the silence of the room you've both resided in. something inside his chest flutters when you say 'likewise' so sweetly. he doesn't regret saying it that much now.

# shenhe was never this certain before. back then she'd always have doubts when it comes to making her own decisions, no matter how miniscule, or important it may be. is she supposed to be with humans? or with the adepti? this deer is looking at her quite weirdly, should she kill it? this person did terrible things unintentionally, should she hold them accountable? is she even in a position to decide such a thing? why are you making her feel weird things, should she confront you? all these random questions make up her past self, so now, in this present, can you be hers, faithfully and truthfully? forevermore, even? you have the power to grant this wish of hers, what will you do with it?

# kaveh is brutally honest when it comes to you. with how he's snuggling up to you like you're a sole lit torch within a raging blizzard upon uttering that one, three lettered word, now isn't an exception it seems. “i want you. only [name].” his voice is muffled onto your chest with a content sigh, resulting into a smile creeping up on your face at his display of affection. caressing his blonde locks, you mutter that you're already his, and remain that way forevermore. though the peaceful moment doesn't last long when you hear alhaitham on the other side of the house puking his insides out.

“a kiss, perhaps.”

# hu tao is a cheeky one. knowing her, she would very much rather die than passing up an opportunity to tease you. which is probably why she's now making kissy faces towards you in public, making loud bilabial clicks to further emphasize on her want for that kiss she requested of you. she's living for your blushing state right now. how cute you are! just makes her wanna pinch your cheeks and bite them! but right now, she has one goal. a raging conquest—to feel your lips against her own!

# ayato is also very cheeky when it comes to his dearest. that annoying knowing smirk of his plastered onto his face as you slowly process his response. he has no need for extravagant gifts when he has nearly every trinket or item at his fingertips as a wealthy noble clan head and his position as one of the tri-commissioners, so he'll use this to his advantage and pick up your lips in the process. he's been rather depraved of your attention lately with how busy he was with the preparation of christmas arriving in inazuma, but now that everything is set in motion, he wants to spend this small vacation with you and your lips in the meantime.

# yelan is incredibly flirtatious when she's alone with you. lingering touches that rile you up in silence, hushed whispers against your reddened ears, hot breaths mingling together from the close proximity she initiated...mhm, she's merciless. she'd have to hold herself back from full-on making out with you when you become shy from her intense gaze, averting your eyes as an attempt to calm your nerves. (she would ask for more than a kiss honestly, but we gotta keep it pg here so a long, long smooch it is.)

# heizou, yet another cheeky punk. you're really considering on giving his head a light hit for him to finally stop this little game of his. “ten kisses! that's all.” and after you're done pecking and littering his face with kisses, he'll just smile innocently and say “alright, ten more!” and he repeats it again, and again, and again, and again until you finally snap as you purposely bite his cheek under the pretense of giving another kiss. he just yelps and rubs the spot, pouting towards you afterwards as an attempt to charm you out of your irritated stance. “oh, come on, just another 10 more! it's the last, i promise!“ he then proceeds to say he'll return the kisses tenfold...whatever that means.

BONUS ! ! ! — “oh, how about a [insert random object]?”

# alhaitham would ask for some random nerdy book that he hadn't enough time in his schedule to buy. boooo no romance at all🙄

# ei would ask for dango. or a kiss. it's sweet either way, she says.

# tighnari would ask you to shut up. honestly, i have no idea. I wanted to put him in the “stay by my side” but he's too snarky for such cheesy stuff so maybeeee he'd ask for a type of essential oil for his tail or sumn.

# nilou would ask for a dance with you—under the moonlight amidst lotus flowers and flowing waters, right when the clock strikes twelve and christmas day warmly welcomes you both.

# yae miko had the potential to go into the kiss section, but she would definitely take advantage of this question of yours to make you do even more silly things. she can get your kisses anytime and anywhere anyways.

# ganyu would ask for a date! she got some time off granted by the qixing themselves, and she wants to spend it eating qingxins with you. (bear the bitterness, will you?)

# keqing would ask for a morax plushie. she didn't indulge you in her secret of being a huge fangirl for nothing. 😾

# thoma is the type of guy to let you decide your gift for him instead. not too expensive though! he dislikes you spending too much money for him. he'd gift you a knitted scarf as well. :') such a lovely man.

# ayaka would not ask for a gift. she would gift you instead with a fan that matches hers!

@muchendrafts i have included your beloved ei, thoma and ayato. enjoy your gift, along with many other readers! i also have an ayato oneshot in the works, but i couldn't finish it in time so i hope you'll fare with this, for now atleast!

[tedelunazz]

promise not to drop me?, genshin impact (yelan, shenhe and kazuha)

synopsis: only a fool would drop a girl like you

warnings: i love daphne and scooby doo is one of my favorite cartoons, i practically grew up with that cartoon and this audio keeps popping up on tiktok.

small space to say I hate so much what they did to the scooby doo characters in the velma series, my boys didn't deserve it.

lastly I think my favorites here are shenhe and kazuha, I just love them so much.

YELAN

Yelan was having too much fun watching you struggle to try to walk on the stilettos that Ninguangg had asked you to wear for an important Liyue event.

She thinks you look like a little deer on ice, so fragile and if you make one false move you will fall against the hard ice and hurt yourself.

"Yelan, this is stupid. I really need your help here, please." Your voice sounded weary as you moved to the bars of the terrace where they were standing.

"Looks to me like you can handle it on your own, sweetheart." Your gaze noted distressed at her words and you pouted.

Yelan was so amused by your overreactions when he didn't comply with one of your whims and you knew it but didn't mind one bit.

"Please, Yelan. I'm going to fall down."

Yelan let out a small laugh and approached you slowly, when he was close enough to you, the next thing he did was to take one of your hands between one of his own.

"I can't refuse to help you if you ask me in that cute way." A shit-eating grin appeared on his face and you just let out a defeated sigh.

Slowly they began to walk on the small terrace where they were, you were practically shaking with every step you took and that made it more fun for Yelan.

"Yelan, promise not to drop me?."

Before Yelan could speak, you stumbled over the leg of the stool where Yelan was sitting earlier. All you could wait for was the impact of you against the sleep and to see Yelan laugh at you and then help you up and comfort you.

But it was not to be, the impact against the wooden floor never came and instead you had a strong arm gripping your waist while a delicate hand held one of yours.

"Only a fool would drop a girl like you." Yelan smiled as he said that and you blushed wildly.

SHENHE, real au

I watched from a small distance as Shenhe practiced tirelessly for the dance that was to be held in a couple of days, you've seen her struggle to live up to the expectations they have of her and you've seen her at her worst because of it.

But despite that, despite all that, she doesn't give up and you don't think she ever will. You may not know much about her, since you're just a maid and she doesn't talk much but you're pretty sure she's a very strong girl with a huge determination, bigger than the whole castle she lives in.

You came out of your thoughts about Shenhe and continued to carefully clean the vases that were in the room, to your taste there were too many but you were not going to say it out loud.

You were so wrapped up in your task that you didn't notice that Shenhe was standing in front of you, with a fixed gaze on you and it looked like she wanted to ask you something.

"Excuse me my miss, do you need anything?" You gave her your best smile but that didn't seem to lighten Shenhe's nerves.

"I want your help." You nodded and waited for him to continue talking. "I want you to help me with my dancing, I've seen you dance sometimes in the garden and you do it very well."

You were a little surprised at his request but quickly pulled yourself together and nodded softly, the next thing you did was to place one of your hands near one of his.

"May I hold your hand, princess?" you asked and she nodded" Then, with your permission."

You took her right hand between yours and she gave it a squeeze.

"Promise you won't drop me" Was what came from her lips and you let out a small laugh.

"With all due respect, princess. Only a fool would drop a girl like you."

KAZUHA

Kazuha loves you, loves you more than he can express with his honeyed and flowery words, more than he can show with actions, he wants you to see how beautiful the world is and all that it can offer you.

Since he stopped being a fugitive in Inazuma, for the first time in a long time, he can set foot again in his home nation as a citizen who is not persecuted by the Shogunate.

He can show you how beautiful Inazuma is, he wants you to eat typical food from there and if you feel comfortable, he wants you to accompany him to visit his late friend's grave.

"I can show you the view from the snake head on Yashiori Island, I'm sure you'll love it. It's a little high up, though. " Kazuha's words were full of love as they both stood on the deck of Beidou's ship, heading for Inazuma." But I'm sure you'd dull the view with your beauty, my moonbeam."

Your heart leapt in your chest at his words and you could only give him a silly smile but Kazuha loved that smile, he knew that behind it was a deep feeling of adoration.

"I would love to do everything you tell me, Kazu but I have to confess I'm really afraid of heights" You sighed and kept talking. "So if you don't mind, could you hold my hand when we go to the snake's head?"

Kazuha gave you that look, it's look full of love that only to you he gave and nodded gently and slowly placed his hands on your cheeks, he gave them light caresses.

"You don't have to ask, love. If it will make you feel safer, of course I will, all to make you feel comfortable."

You relaxed into his touch and chased his gentle touch, it was so warm, so familiar and full of love.

"Promise not to drop me?" It was a shy question and when you least expected it Kazuha brought his face close to yours, just inches from your lips.

"Only a fool would drop a girl like you." And he gave you a sweet but short kiss on your lips that made you blush and quickly bury your face in the hollow of his neck. "Does my love feel shame?

[hellobitchlet]

I've seen a few people mention Liyue as an example to show that Hoyo is perfectly capable of doing proper research into cultures. I want to expand on my opinions about Liyue and culture a little, with some stuff I've been thinking about for a while.

So, my main interest in Genshin atm is that I've been rewriting the story. One of the main things I'm doing is putting more important lore into the main story. This has led me to looking at each nation from the perspective of "what important things are connected to this place? What can Traveler learn from here?"

Liyue is the first nation Traveler goes to in which the Archon War happened in full force. And with that, we have the adepti, immortal creatures from Chinese mythology that ruled over humanity. Adepti lore is more fleshed out than any other immortal archon group by far, thanks to having multiple characters from that group being playable 5 stars, and Genshin being more willing to make plotlines about them.

And of course, there's the culture stuff. There are two 4 stars who exist to show off Chinese culture, and we get a Lantern Rite every year. There's also Chenyu Vale, whose main draw (aside from more adepti lore(sort of)), is showing off Chinese culture through this brand new city and town.

So, obviously, Liyue's main selling points are adepti lore and Chinese culture. This is both bad for Liyue from a story perspective, and the other nations from a culture perspective.

Let me explain:

It's bad for Liyue because one of the main points having nothing to do with the story, combined with the amount of focus it gets, fills the nation up with so much filler. Aside from Baizhu and Yaoyao, we've gotten 5 new Liyue characters since Inazuma started! Those characters?

Yun Jin- filler 4 star whose gimmick is Chinese opera.

Shenhe- I'm sorry to say this, and I promise that I like her too, but she's mainly Razor if he was raised by a different immortal. Not exactly the same by far, but she functions in the same way. We didn't need another Razor. Razor and Andrius already don't get much screen time.

Yelan- honestly could've been super important with her Pantalone connection, but is instead just reduced to sexy 5 star with a gambling gimmick, to the point where she might as well be filler.

Cloud Retainer- ...ok. I don't have a huge problem with her. Other than being used to make fat jokes about Ganyu, she's neat. But she was fine as an npc, and her moving into the Harbor wasn't all that necessary when she seemed perfectly fine with living in the mountains.

Gaming- filler 4 star whose gimmick is lion dancing.

You get my point, right? The last time I remember something notable story wise coming out of Liyue was the Chasm and Perilous Trail, all the way back in Inazuma. Yet, we've gotten 4 characters, 2 Lantern Rite's, 3 LR skins, and a massive new area from Liyue since. It's so much filler. And we already have enough filler as is.

We've sure gotten more adepti lore, mainly in LR, but.. you know we're only getting that as set up to make more Liyue characters. We've learned almost everything we need to know about their story already, we have pretty much everything except for Zhongli and Guizhong's origins.

And it's bad for the other nations bc Liyue's treatment makes Natlan and Sumeru being like that, mashing European cultures together in Mondstadt and Fontaine when they're supposedly based off of 1 country, and only paying a little attention to Japanese culture in Inazuma look even worse.

They CAN, in fact, show off cultures they have researched. They've never been good at accurate designs, both with a character's appearance and their clothing, but they've still put so much more care into Liyue than other nations! There's no real reason why they can't do that for other nations. And there's no reason why they can't be even better, and make their playable characters look like the people of the cultures they're based on.

I don't have much of a point that I wanna make here. This is just an analysis I've gradually made about Liyue and it's effect on other nations.

[ikebo-simp]

A little ask for you~

What do you think the Liyue characters favorite boba orders are? Or do they get something else?

- 👓

Beidou- Prefers alcohol than boba, gets some whenever Kazuha gets a craving, probably likes plum or something

Chongyun- Thinks it's nice and cool, I think he likes strawberry, little bit traumatized from the time Xiangling made ghost pepper boba

Ningguang- Has better drinks and probably prefers coffee or tea, but will get something like a royal jelly boba

Xiangling- Constantly makes her own, her favorite so far has candied slime condensate on top

Xinqiu- Gets cheese foam, no explanation, cheese foam

Yaoyao- I think she would like Red Bean Milk Tea, sweet and tasty

Xingyan- Passionfruit/hj she probably would like passionfruit or pineapple

Yanfei- Prefer warms things like hot cocoa or something, like coffee milk tea

Yunjin- Prefers tea, likes matcha and red bean

Keqing- Knows how to treat herself and gets a mango boba, with popping boba, and some pudding on top

Qiqi- Like coconut flavor, refuses anything else, not as good as coconut milk but a decent alternative

Zhongli- Prefers his tea normal, like a regular black tea boba

Shenhe- Has no real preference, but likes strawberry a little bit more because Chongyun likes it

Baizhu- Can only have teas and medicine/hj the milk is probably bad for his system and causes him to cough more often, like grass jelly though

Ganyu- I think she would like oolong tea as a base and some grass on top

Xiao- Probably prefers Bingsoo over boba, but likes almond boba

Hu Tao- Asks Xiangling to make more ghost pepper boba, vibes like she would like Hokkaido

Yelan- Likes it, not her go-to-drink, but she likes it, gets the lychee jelly instead of the boba

A/N Bestie, this ain't little TT-TT

Thanks for Reading

[whispereons]

I AM FREE!!!

Guess annoying them worked lol. I really hate to do that but it's incredibly frustrating to get banned for no reason, send in a ticket, give enough time, and still have to resort to multiple tickets for a ACTUAL fix.

Also they may say that 'shadowban isn't real' in their help page but it very much is. And it sucks. But I'm free now so all is well! (for now but hopefully forever.)

Also the new chapter is pretty long and I am tempted to cut it but that might ruin the continuity of it. Plus I'm really excited to wrap up the Shenhe + Yelan Arc.

That Damn Dress

Pairing: Shenhe x Yelan

Tags: Dresses, Oral Sex, Vaginal Fingering, Mutual Masturbation, Teaching, Liyue Lantern Rite (Genshin Impact)

Summary:

Yelan comes back from a mission just in time for Lantern Rite. When she stops by Wanmin Restaurant to check on Shenhe at her new place of employment, she's shocked to see her in a brand-new outfit - one definitely not appropriate for waiting tables. Seeing it as an opportunity to teach her more about the ways of the world, the agent takes her back to her place to show her how she can relieve work stress.

Read on Ao3

“Shenhe…you’re kidding me, right? Dinner rush starts in like ten minutes. There’s no time for you to change, but please. Next time, try to wear something a little less…formal?”

Xiangling looked at the woman with pleading eyes. Wanmin Restaurant’s newest server was eclectic, to say the least. The young head chef was happy she was a hard worker despite never actually having a real job before. Unfortunately, she was still a little rough around the edges when it came to what constituted as appropriate work attire.

“But Xiangling…I don’t understand. The color black doesn’t get dirty easily, so I thought this outfit would be acceptable to wear to work. What seems to be the problem?”

The girl winced at the prospect of having to try to explain why the short, backless dress might not be the best choice during Lantern Rite. Most of their customers behaved themselves, but it was not unusual to see the occasional rowdy party boy who didn’t know how to keep his hands to himself come through for a drunk munchie or two. After witnessing the…intense…way the woman tended to respond to these kinds of customers, Xiangling was less worried about her and more afraid of being sued.

Good thing we’ve got Yanfei on our side, she thought.

The first few hungry patrons walked up to the counter, and immediately Xiangling switched into business mode.

“Don’t worry about it this time, Shenhe. Please just talk to me the next time you feel the need to dress differently.”

She nodded her head curtly. “Understood.” The last thing she needed was to lose the one thing that made her feel like she was getting the hang of being a part of human society. It’s a shame, though. I do love how it looks, and Cloud Retainer was kind enough to gift it to me. Heaving a sigh, she grabbed her notepad and made her way to the first small group of famished guests.

Yelan was happy her latest mission had ended sooner than she thought it would. She wasn’t exactly thrilled at the prospect of being away for so long now that she was dating Shenhe. While she knew her talents and instincts could be better utilized, she was also aware the woman had a lot to learn when it came to human customs and behavior.

It pained her to think she might miss Lantern Rite this year, but when duty called, she was obligated to answer. Thankfully, all had worked out so she returned earlier than expected. Only now she was ravenous.

I wonder if Shenhe’s working tonight.

“Yelan! Long time no see!” boomed Chef Mao.

“Hey Mao. You know I have to come by whenever I’m back in town for some of your famous Jueyun Chili Chicken. Can’t resist the…” She lost her train of thought as she caught a glimpse of Shenhe in an unfamiliar and much more revealing dress out of the corner of her eye.

“…spice. Um, I’ll just go ahead and seat myself, if that’s ok?”

Chef Mao nodded happily in agreement and she had to pace herself from not sprinting up to the table closest to her girlfriend. Settling in, she pretended to glance at the menu until she heard the familiar sound of Shenhe’s steps.

“Hello, and welcome to Wanmin Restaurant. What can I get - Yelan? What are you doing here? I thought you said you weren’t going to make it for Lantern Rite this year?”

The agent dropped the menu. “Well, I wanted to surprise you, but I think you’ve turned the tables there,” she said as she raked her eyes up and down her body. “Where’d you pick up that little number?”

“Oh, Cloud Retainer surprised Ganyu and me with new clothes for the celebration. Do you like it?”

Yelan leaned in closer. “Oh, I like it. I’m a little upset I wasn’t the one who bought it for you.”

“How strange. That’s the second time someone expressed displeasure at me wearing it.”

“Wait…what? No! Shenhe, I just meant I’m jealous I didn’t get to see you in it first. What are you talking about?”

“My apologies. I’m still getting used to the nuances of how native Liyueans speak. When I came into work this evening, Xiangling said it was inappropriate. I truly cannot see how such a fine outfit would not be suitable for work, especially during a holiday. Am I not supposed to dress differently despite the celebration going on?”

A chuckle escaped Yelan. “Sweetie…I think she just meant she didn’t want you to draw unwanted attention. Not only that, it’d be a shame to get food all over it. Let’s just say it’s something you should wear in front of important people.”

“Like Cloud Retainer?”

“Well, yes,” she stated and she reached for her free hand. “And me. Say, what time do you get off tonight? I think I’m feeling hungry for something other than Jueyun Chili Chicken.”

A light blush appeared on the girl’s cheeks as she caught what Yelan was insinuating. Since being with her, she’d quickly learned much about her varying appetites. “Xiangling said I could leave in about an hour after the dinner rush dies down.”

“Great. How about I come back around then and we can catch up at my place?”

“That sounds nice. Should I change before I come over?”

“Oh, trust me,” she replied, her eyes narrowed. “That dress is very appropriate for what we’ll be doing.

-------------------------------------

The two women took in the illuminated lanterns as they walked hand-in-hand to Yelan’s apartment. The agent inquired about Shenhe’s day, trying to get a feel for how she enjoyed her new job.

“Oh, I’m learning so much, thank you for asking. Apparently I overdo it sometimes, but Xiangling has been very patient with me.”

Yelan nodded along, trying her best to pay attention. She had purposefully let Shenhe walk slightly ahead of her so she could admire her new dress in detail. Her shoulders and back were completely bare to the chill of the night air, and she wished for nothing more than to expose her even more.

A part of her felt guilty for having these thoughts. Shenhe had been working so hard, and the last thing she wanted to do was seem insensitive if she needed rest. She inserted her key into the front door of her abode and decided to test the waters.

“I’m glad to hear you seem to be adjusting well, love. You must be pretty exhausted with the Lantern Rite rush.”

Shenhe shrugged. “I suppose I’m a little tired. I would like to spend more time with you, though,” she said, drawing closer. “That is…if you don’t mind.”

Suddenly, the agent got an idea. “Well, I know working all day can certainly take its toll. I do, however, know of a way that can help relieve stress…if you’re interested in learning,” Her fingers grazed the skin of her shoulder, silently insinuating her intent.

The exorcist smiled softly in response as she leaned in, her lips almost touching Yelan’s. “You are a wonderful teacher. Please, enlighten me.”

Having been away for far too long, Yelan was eager to taste the familiar flavor of Shenhe’s tongue on her own. They kissed deceptively slowly at first, both exercising self-control. There was no need to rush. Neither had anywhere else to be but with each other, finally. They moved toward the bedroom, each savoring the soft sounds the other made.

Lying down next to each other, Yelan pulled away, her thumb stroking Shenhe’s bottom lip.

“Tell me, baby. When I’m gone, do you ever touch yourself?”

“What do you mean?” The air of innocence in her eyes made Yelan snicker.

“I mean, do you ever think of me and pretend your own movements are my fingers?”

“Hmmm. It’s never occurred to me to try.” Yelan often forgot Shenhe had been under the watchful eye of Cloud Retainer since she was a child. The agent respected the adeptus immensely but could see that due to her strict training regiment, the exorcist likely hadn’t the time for pleasures of the flesh before meeting her and exploring that side of her humanity.

“Ah…I see. Well, you’re a quick study. Would it be helpful if I showed you how?”

The other woman’s eyes sparkled like new-fallen snow. “Yes…I’d like that very much.”

“While that dress is certainly very flattering, we’ll have to take it off for now. May I?”

Shenhe nodded swiftly and Yelan helped her slip out of the barely-there fabric. She felt the girl shiver under her fingertips and licked her lips at the sight of her. After removing her own clothing, Yelan laid on her back, encouraging the exorcist to do the same.

“First, you’ve got to get comfortable. You’ve obviously meditated before, correct? Think of it like that. You’re clearing your mind, forgetting the frustrations of the day. Breathe deeply, slowly. Good. Next, start by gently teasing your breasts.”

Yelan led by example, her fingers expertly working her nipples as Shenhe watched, enraptured by the sensuality of the sight of her girlfriend doing something so taboo.

“Well…aren’t you going to give it a go? You’ll never learn unless you try.”

Shenhe blushed, feeling like a child who had just been caught stealing sweets. “Right, yes. My apologies.” The woman mimicked what she had just observed as Yelan also took a peek. She could feel herself getting drenched just looking at her doing as she instructed.

Fuck. Stay focused, Yelan. You’re supposed to be helping her.

“Right, very good. Next, when you feel ready, spread your legs a bit and give yourself some room. Let your hand wander and use your fingers to ensure you’re wet e-enough.” As Yelan modeled the behavior, her voice hitched on the last word. Shenhe imitated her actions, a soft moan escaping her mouth.

“Ah…l-like this?”

The agent let out a satisfied sigh. “Yessss…good…very good. Move slowly at first, then when you think you’ve set a steady pace, you’ll start to f-feel the buildup…” Yelan felt her breathing grow shallow.

“Y-yelan…I think I…get it…please…I’m close…need your fingers…”

“Only if you’ll…do the same…”

The women moved their respective hands, rubbing at their already slick, sensitive buds. Both turned their heads, seeking the comfort of the other’s reassuring gaze

“Fu-fuckkkkkkk Shenhe!!”

“Archons…Yelan!!”

Their bodies trembled as their hands stilled. The two lay beside one another catching their breath. Yelan rolled to her side, Yelan and propped herself up on her elbow. “As much fun as that was, I still need a bit more…if you’re up for it,” she said with a smirk.

Shenhe turned to meet her gaze. “I agree,” she smiled back at her. Yelan leaned in to capture her mouth, her tongue darting past the other woman’s lips. Trailing her fingers up and down her spine, Yelan slid her hand down to cup her butt with a slight squeeze.

The exorcist moaned in response. Yelan placed Shenhe’s leg across her own hips, her hand slipping between her thighs to collect her arousal with her fingers. The agent teased her, bringing two fingers to her entrance only to barely prod her before removing them and gliding across her clit. Her hips bucked in response as she pulled Yelan closer, searching for increased friction.

“Please…I need you,” Shenhe whined.

“Well, since you asked so nicely,” she whispered as she plunged into her.

“Ahhhhhh yes!” Shenhe gasped.

She quickly thrust her fingers hitting the spot she knew would make her see stars. Shenhe’s moans were increasing in pitch and her legs shook as she neared her peak. Yelan made quick work of her as she felt her walls clamp around her, drenching her hand.

The agent could feel her girlfriend breathing heavily against her chest. She stroked her hair and murmured words of quiet encouragement.

“You did so well, little crane,” she said with a tender kiss on her forehead. Looking up at her through bleary eyes, Shenhe reached to cup her face.

“Thank you, Yelan. I know you’re probably weary from your latest mission. Allow me to help you relax.”

Yelan couldn’t help but laugh. “Baby, you’re always so formal! You can lighten up when you’re with me, you know.” She turned her head to kiss her palm.

“If that is what you desire, then that is what you shall receive.” Quicker than Yelan could perceive what she was doing, Shenhe grabbed her hips and flipped her over. The agent let out a yelp of surprise that quickly morphed into a moan of pleasure as the girl positioned herself behind her.

Yelan felt the warm wetness of Shenhe’s tongue enter her and gripped the sheets.

“Fuckkkkk Shenhe…”

She paused between laps to mutter, “You did say you wanted me to lighten up.” Yelan felt fingers enter her in addition to the licks, causing her to bury her face in a pillow to stifle her groans.

“It’s been too long since I’ve heard you. What’s the matter? Scared to bother your neighbors?”

“Don’t…get cocky…little crane…” she breathed.

Taking this reply as a challenge, Shenhe pressed her tongue deeper into her, rubbing her clit with a finger. Yelan shifted back into the woman’s face, wordlessly begging for more.

“Archons…Shenhe…get on with it…” The exorcist did as she was asked, furiously increasing her movements until Yelan orgasmed with a shout that would likely ensure her neighbors would check in.

Shenhe drew the woman into an embrace from behind and kissed her shoulder. “Sorry. I’m worried about controlling my strength and didn’t want to hurt you.”

Yelan smiled sleepily, worn down from her long trip home that day. “I understand. But I do have to say. Seeing you in that outfit today was a sight for sore eyes. I’m going to tell Ningguang I’m taking a vacation. You ever been to Sumeru?”

“Yelan, you know I only recently started to expand my horizons here in Liyue. Of course I haven’t.”

“Good. I’ll put in a word with Chef Mao. You and that dress are coming with me.”

[zhongrin]

If friendship level was indicating how characters were acting about you in impostor sagau, where you would be safest?

1-3 - they know something is wrong with you, but they still act as if you were the imposter

4-7 - they will ignore you. They won't help but they won't rush to capture you if u know what I mean

8-10 - they will help you hide and will try and act on the side to convince others that you are not an imposter

For me it's probably Mondstadt or Liyue

From Mondstadt I have friendship lv10 with Diluc, Barbara, Lisa, Amber, Kaeya, lv8 with Noelle and Bennett.

For Liyue i have Zhongli, Kazuha and Xiao on lv10, Ningguang, Yun Jin, Yanfei and Xiangling on lv8

In Inazuma, well... My raiden is on lv7 and rest is below lv5 so yeah, not good

In Sumeru I have to get to Tighnari, as he is on lv10, Cyno is on 6 so it's not the worst thing I guess

Anyways, I'm safest in Mondstadt

Wonder where you are safe owo

*gasp* i remember seeing this kind of prompt on hira's (@/hiraya-rawr) blog and i wanted to do it for so long hsdlfjsldkjf

i think i'll be safest in... either mond or liyue? but generally, most of the characters will ignore me because whenever i get new characters i have a habit of stuffing them into the teapot until they reach lv. 6 lmao

mondstadt

lv. 10 jean and kaeya + lv. 8 amber and sucrose - fingers crossed they'll help convince the rest of the mondstadt residents that i mean no harm??

then again i don't have venti. does that mean he's at lv. 0? what would that translate to? that the character has no idea that you're the real creator and will hunt you down? bc if so well then rip me-

conclusion: safe(?)

liyue

tbh it's equally as safe and dangerous here i feel hsldfjlksdf zhongli. zhongli please you have to keep me safe-

lv. 10 zhongli and xiao + lv. 9 xingqiu + lv. 8 qiqi - yk what this isn't bad i have a dps, support, shielder, and healer i'm all set lmaooo

well... considering there are two characters who are my only triple-crowned peeps here (xiao and zhongli), i am praying to rex lapis that they would keep me safe ;;;

lv. 3 yun jin + lv. 2 yaoyao would be after me haldjsldj

no yelan, hu tao, shenhe, ganyu, childe - i think out of these people the only dangerous ones would be ganyu and childe (if they're devoted to the impostor that is). the others doesn't seem like the type who would care much about impostor gods and such... unless this is the sagau with heavy cultist element, in which case hoo boy guess we'll see who wins...

conclusion: safe... maybe

inazuma

lv. 10 shinobu and kazuha + lv. 9 thoma

i feel like my only option here is to:

1) rely on kazuha to persuade beidou (lv. 6) so they can snuck me out to liyue, or

2) rely on thoma to persuade ayato (lv. 7) for a temporary shelter in the kamisato residence (but i don't have ayaka so it's more likely that she might influence her brother to turn me in to the shogun shdlfkjsdl), or

3) rely on shinobu to persuade itto (lv. 6) to take me in... but can i live as an arataki gang member? ........... probably not.....

i have no ei or yae so as soon as they see me i think i'm gonna be vaporized ala signora so uh. yeah.

conclusion: not safe

sumeru

i'm fucked *chuckles*

lv. 10 collei - my sweet summer child. i am hoping she'll manage to convince tighnari at the very least. but otherwise, i'm fucked.

lv. 7 wanderer + lv. 5 al haitham - it's unfortunate but they would ignore me sobsob

i don't have cyno, tighnari, nilou, or nahida, which are the key people running sumeru so really i think i have the smallest chance of survival here orz

conclusion: very not safe

[canonical-transformation]

Thinking about Yelan and her (headcanon) undiagnosed ASPD. In a world that probably doesn't have any good frameworks for that—let alone support groups or role models—and just understands it as "heartless reckless thrill seeker".

Like let's be real the Fatui and Treasure Hoarders and Abyss all probably call her "psychopath" to her face. For all we know that's the technical term for it in Teyvat. :S

Her Vision story makes it so clear she sees herself as Other, that even her fallen colleagues were "ordinary people" she shouldn't have allowed to be swept up into her world, that maybe at a stretch she thinks Ningguang understands her but even then hmm maybe.

And so we have this poor woman going around accepting being near-universally feared/detested as a fact of life, experiencing the world mostly through the most dopamine-rich emotions and...

...okay look the more I think about it the more I love both the [friend]ships of her with Yanfei and Shenhe.

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

s/o with yelan, shenhe, navia, xianyun that got badly injured and s/o is treating their wounds ^_^

take your time!

(Genshin Impact) Yelan, Shenhe, Chiori, and Xianyun's S/O treating their wounds

Navia has already been done in this post, so I shall compensate with the newly arrived Chiori!

Yelan winced as S/O finished wrapping her arm, giving them a wry smile.

(Yelan) "Thanks. Sorry for showing up like this."

(S/O) "As long as you're okay, it's fine. But what in the world even happened?!"

Yelan was silent for a moment, thinking of how to answer S/O's question before giving them a kiss on the cheek.

(Yelan) "Bad fall."

(S/O) "Really? A bad fall looks like slashes all over you?"

(Yelan) "What can I say? It was sharp. But trust me, you won't have to worry about it hurting me again."

(S/O) "Just...please don't scare me like that again."

Despite her coy tone, she gives S/O a reassuring squeeze on their hands. Yelan truly did appreciate having someone to come home to, and it was a reminder of why she was out there to begin with.

Shenhe remains still as S/O helps wrap the bandage around her stomach, exhaling a little in relief.

(S/O) "Is it too tight?"

(Shenhe) "No, I will recover just fine, thanks to you."

(S/O) "Okay..."

S/O knew Shenhe wasn't the type to lie. If she said she was going to be fine, then she was.

But their anxiety must've been easy to read, since S/O was quickly hugged by Shenhe.

(Shenhe) "You do not have to worry. I will not go down so easily."

(S/O) "I...I-I know, Shenhe. I still don't like seeing you get hurt."

The faintest hint of a smile forms on Shenhe's lips as she somehow hugs them even tighter.

Unintentionally almost snapping something in S/O and cutting off their breathing, but they could literally feel the love almost crushing them.

(Shenhe) "If it means I do not see you harmed, then I will endure whatever pain awaits."

(S/O) "C-C...CAN'T BREATHE!"

Chiori hissed in pain when S/O rubbed the cloth on her leg, gripping onto the chair.

(Chiori) "Gah, that stings!"

(S/O) "I didn't think something like that could happen in a clothing shop! Your leg looks like it was slashed by a sword!"

(Chiori) "I was lucky it wasn't my hands or arms that got injured, but this will certainly make work a lot more annoying..."

(S/O) "C-Come on, at least act a bit more concerned about your own health! You can't work if you're dead!"

Chiori hummed in acknowledgement as she rose to get up, S/O helping her with one hand grabbing hers.

She clenched her teeth when she properly stood up but turned to S/O with a small smile.

(Chiori) "...Thanks. I'll make you something sweet when we're back home."

(S/O) "Just rest up instead of working yourself more, please."

(Chiori) "Alright alright, I promise."

Chiori didn't need S/O to baby her, but it was times like these where she was reminded how much better S/O made the work day.

Xianyun looks at S/O curiously as they wrap her hands in cloth.

(Xianyun) "This One must bring up the point that bandaging my arm is moot. The form one currently takes does not entirely reflect-"

(S/O) "It'll give me peace of mind knowing you're at least somewhat taken care of. Can I at least say that?"

Xianyun chuckles, adjusting her glasses but then quickly recoiling in pain from doing so.

(Xianyun) "Ack! R-Right. One appreciates your concern, then."

Xianyun tries to play it off cool, but honestly S/O made her heart skip a beat with acts like this.

This injury was truly nothing, and they definitely knew that.

But that didn't stop them from caring about her.

However, the real consequence from her injury was the fact she could not indulge in eating her food as much as she wanted.

(S/O) "H-Hey! That much fried food will make your injury flare up!"

(Xianyun) "Nonsense! Such delicious delicacies has nothing to do with one's-"

(S/O) "The doctor told me that you should at least wait a few days before eating something that hot."

Xianyun pouted, annoyed she had to put the food on hold.

(Xianyun) "Hmph, One does not need a doctor to tell her what one can't eat!"

(S/O) sigh

Necro AU: Voicelines - About Necro

A/N: Just a little silly world building for my neglected AU. Enjoy, the handful of people that read this. Art by Maxim Lingert.

Ask Raiden Shogun:

The eighth element is a great danger to both the world and its inhabitants. Though intertwined with the foundations of this world, its free form causes calamity and destruction wherever it appears. Most of its creations are not unbeatable by mortals, but I still handle them myself nonetheless. Few know how to destroy them correctly. 

Ask Ei:

That name… it brings me memories. Good memories of a simpler time, when the world was still young. I witnessed all the miracles it can create, but also the destruction it inevitably brings about. To this day, understanding the purpose of its creation is a great challenge for my mind. I suppose… lesser beings truly can't understand a grandeur's design. 

Ask Miko:

Oh? So you have heard of it, little one? Hah, I suppose there's no reason for me to be surprised, you are not a common mortal after all. Few are aware of it, and those who are often try to disprove it. But it is very, very real, and very destructive. We kitsune have suffered greatly because of it. I hope you never have to face its wielders on your journey - they are just as lethal. 

Ask Kuki Shinobu:

Oh? Yes, Necro exists. How else would we all die? It's everywhere around us - I myself use it. Since Deki has a Necro Vision, I got to learn a lot about the element. But, if I'm being honest with you… I'd rather see him visionless. 

Ask Zhongli:

Ah… the element of death. Ush's magnum opus, and the counterbalance to life. A necessary, if terrible, piece to our world's puzzle. I know a great deal about it, but the ability to control it is not mine to hold. After all, I am a creation of life. All I know was told to me by my dear friend, Beleth… I wonder how he fairs now. We have not seen each other for… hundreds of years now. I would wish to see him before we inevitably meet on the battlefield again. 

Ask Ganyu:

N-Necro? Oh… yes. Such an element exists but… I wouldn't want to discuss it, please. It… brings b-bad memories…

Ask Xiao:

Huh? Necro? What of it? It's a great threat to Liyue, and all life in general. My task is to keep it at bay, with spear and wind, until it inevitably consumes me. My work would be much easier if only the foolish mortals saw it for as dangerous as it is… What? They don't know about it? 

Ask Shenhe:

Although I have not yet seen the undead, Master has mentioned them on several occasions. She is usually very talkative, but when I ask about when she first met them she seems to try and change the topic as fast as possible. Strange.

Ask Yelan:

Necro? Oh, right. The missing element… How do I know? Heh, well, it’s my job to know, is it not? From what I’ve found, even though now the undead are just the stuff of legends, my ancestors fought them in The Chasm all those years ago. From what I found, which wasn’t a lot mind you, they are terrifying opponents - both in skill and durability. 

Ask Beidou:

Necro? Yeah, of course I encountered it on my travels! There’s a land far North, about three hundred nautical miles East from the coast of Snezhnaya, known by many names - The Barren Lands, The Fractured Lands, The Shattered Lands, or just The Void. In this muddy and pitiful land we fought the dead made up of it. Don’t worry, though. They are nowhere near as lethal as the folk tales say. They’re slow, stupid, and equipped with rusting weapons. Come again? Oh, we don’t usually stay there to look for treasure. This land has a… strange effect on the crew.

Ask Venti:

Ah, how long I have not heard this name. Necro is responsible for all the pain and suffering you see around you. It’s not inherently evil, however. Without it, there would be no you or me. Quite poetic, isn’t it?

Ask Dainslief:

Oh? You want to know more about it? Well, I have to disappoint you. I can’t tell you anything other than the basics, I’m afraid. I’m still looking for answers myself. It is real, and it is a grave danger. As far as I know, it has its own Archon, but I haven’t yet learned their name. From what I found, they were the divine ruler of my nation. This fact… I’m still struggling to fit it into the whole picture. 

Thanks for reading!

Beidou

she/they

35

Cisgender Woman, Lesbian

Married to Ningguang

Family: Kazuha (FF Son), Xinyan (FF Daughter), Yaoyao (FF Daughter)

Best Friend: Ganyu

Beidou has a large lightning scar over her left eye from her battle with Haishan.

They see Yaoyao as their daughter.

Beidou and Ganyu are actually best friends in canon! Beidou's "About Ganyu" line says that the two of them "get on like a house on fire", they just don't talk about it much due to their reputations.

They hang out with Thoma whenever they're in Inazuma. They're best buds! Beidou brings him souvenirs from Dornman Port to remind him of Mondstadt.

Beidou and Ningguang exchange letters via Beidou's Red Vulture (yes, she tamed one). The vulture, Xun, is a regular sight in the skies of Liyue due to the amount of time Beidou's at sea.

She has a Devon Rex named Yijun. She reminds Beidou of Ningguang due to her affectionate personality (which is reserved for beidou only). Yijun only really lets Beidou and Yaoyao near her.

EXTREMELY built. Buff Beidou real.

This is already canon, but short people aren't allowed to drink on the Alcor. Sorry Kazuha.

She wears braces on her arms.

Both legs were amputated at the knee due to sailing accidents and battles. She wears those thigh high boots to disguise it.

Literal local legend in Liyue.

I put snowflakes in her hair. Her vision starts to act up when she falls asleep and it begins to snow around her. There's a lot of snow, due to her narcolepsy.

Beidou and Ganyu are actually best friends in canon! Ganyu's "About Beidou" line says that she gets super angry when people talk crap about Beidou and has to restrain herself from snapping. They just don't talk about it much due to their reputations.

Narcoleptic 100%. She falls asleep in meetings all the time, but Keqing takes excessive notes to keep her updated on what she missed.
