Anon confession:
I have a ton of requests, but I’m always afraid to send them to literally any author because so many people are stressed these days and I‘m too shy to ask about their inbox every time-
Oh nooo anon!
I know a lot of authors can be burnt out by a lot of requests, but I can also tell you that me (and a lot of my writing buddies) do genuinely enjoy having interaction with the communities we write for! It's always nice to know that people are reading your works, and then actively getting ideas and wanting us to expand upon them because of it!
I'm not too sure if this is a helpful tip, but I know some writers tend to close their inbox/close requests if they want to take a break, or catch up on old requests. There's usually a thing in the pinned post/information post that says if they're closed or open.

If requests are open...
Silly request lol:
Archons reacting to a God!Reader who randomly licked a tree out of curiosity-
(It’d be even funnier if you could write a reaction for the tree itself xD)
WELL
To be fair, darling was just isekai-ed to Genshin. Only way to figure out if it's a dream or not is to.... lick a tree?
Honestly I don't have too many thoughts on them reacting to it. I mean, you're their god. They can't really judge you on anything unless they want to be considered blasphemers. (Is that the right word?)
Zhongli feels like the kind of person who ate a rock when he was a younger archon because I mean. If you want to be the Geo Archon you gotta know what a rock tastes like.
Ei's just straight up weirded out. She's super unused to what people do when they aren't hanging out in the Plane of Euthymia for hundreds of years upholding eternity. She might assume it's a normal thing to do and therefore gets weird looks when she asks other people about it. Who knows, maybe people do lick trees normally.
Venti.... man he's just enjoying it. The looks on everyone else's faces as you go to do it again just to confirm and everyone rushes to stop you, and he's sitting the back drinking and enjoying the chaos. He might get in on the action just because he wants to cause even more. Archon of Freedom, so I mean. This is exactly what freedom's about - doing whatever the hell you want without being restricted.
The tree-
Let's go off the assumption it's like. The Windrise tree. It's partially sentient (kind of??? manga is pretty vague about everything and I haven't even read the entire thing).
It
Man.
It.
It doesn't even know what's happening but Venti uses his connection to it to tell it to just accept it because chaos. Good enough reason right.

hello? how are you? can you tell me which character (in genshin) you like? thank you!
Hi!!! I'm doing really well! I hope you are too!
I'm kinda a huge simp so there's quite a lot but if I had to narrow it down it'd probably be Ei or Yanfei.... I love their outfits and color palettes

Expanding upon the anti Fatui! darling, may I request a few headcanons in relation to how the Harbingers and Diluc would react? I just think it would be neat to see.
Diluc's got pretty strong principles, right? We've seen how he's pretty strict in terms of how he takes care of things, and he's got a pretty tried and true method in most things.
He's indebted to the Creator - they were the one thing keeping him going when he was ready to collapse from grief after the day that everything fell apart - and swore to serve them with his life.
So when he hears that there's an imposter running around disgracing the Creator's name with the antics, he's probably the first to grab his claymore and set off tracking them down. He doesn't trust in the Knights of Favonius for this, especially with how they've proved themselves... less than capable with other events.
He's canonically been banned from Schneznaya because of his murder spree there, so if the darling was wise and went there, he'd be a little more cautious in following.
In fact, this only makes him hate them more - the Fatui have been a constant staple of bad in his life, so he assumes that if the darling goes to them, they're definitely the imposter - after all, his beloved creator would never go to scum like them.
However, anti Fatui!Darling chooses to spite them and leave, even at the cost of their own life.
And you, Diluc can respect that. It definitely doesn't redeem you in his eyes, and he also kinda uses it to reinforce his delusions. If even the imposter dislikes the fatui, then they're literally the worst.
He still hunts for darling, but if he does end up catching up to them, he's more likely to give them a disgusted look but a quick death.
In terms of the Harbingers, they're pretty shocked. Some... may have manipulated the imposter situation more, hoping you'd seek refuge in their arms and only theirs compared to the rest of Teyvat. However, you refusing them was never a possibility they considered, and this comes out of nowhere.
They probably follow you, trying to convince you to join them.
Childe does something like letting you almost die before swooping in to save you in hopes it puts him in your good graces, but you scoff and turn away.
Some just give up and return your spite with their spite - along the lines of, "if you won't accept my help ig you'll just die have fun"

introducing : sakura shrine , a genshinblr positivity blog !
genshin impact's community often lacks the proper love and positivity that we should have towards others. content creators (and consumers!) are the backbones of any fandom and this blog is dedicated to everyone in the genshin fandom that makes it a bit more lovely.
compliments, which we will call "affections" on this blog, can be submitted through the ask box. please use the form below to make it easy on the moderators to process your messages. nonetheless, here's a quick faq.
submission forms:
[ CONTENT FORM ]
link to what you wish to give affection to: content creator's username: what message do you wish to leave with it?: any additional notes?:
[ USER FORM ]
who do you wish to give affection to?: what message do you have for them?: any additional notes?:
thank you so much for submitting! if you have additional concerns, a faq that discusses what this blog is / eligibility is beneath the cut!
q: what is this blog?
a: this blog is an anonymous (or not-so-anonymous, depending on your choice) way to spread love to those you cherish in the genshin community. you can compliment blogs, pieces of artwork, pieces of writing, and whatever else you can think of as long as it is genshin-related and resides on tumblr dot com.
q: what am i not allowed to submit an affection for?
a: affections are NOT allowed for the following:
tl;dr: no notsfw content, no dark content, genshin impact and tumblr only. full list is below.
affections that are notsfw in nature. please be sfw when you compliment authors!
notsfw writing / artwork (however, authors who may post notsfw are fine as long as they put it under a read more / their blog isn't explicit without proper warnings)
dark content blogs and minors who post notsfw content are not eligible to receive affections on this blog
content / users that are NOT on tumblr
content / users that are NOT a part of the genshin impact community
ultimately, who / what is allowed ultimately falls upon moderator discretion. if you realize that a user or a piece of content that we've posted about violates this, please let us know! it was likely just an oversight.
q: how do i submit an affection?
a: use one of our two forms and submit it via an ask! if you wish to be anonymous, just submit it via the anon feature. we'll make it into a nice pretty post for you and sign it with your name, if you aren't anonymous.

Requested by @optimisticauthorfrienduniversity
Tumblr media
“Your Grace, you must understand-”
“What must I understand?” Their voice, cold and frosty, stopped Barbatos in his tracks. They turned to him, fuming. “What exactly about this can you explain to me?”
“We- we couldn’t have you leaving us! Abandoning us for a second time!”
The Creator laughed quietly to themselves, ignoring the archon behind them.
“No matter how far I go to satisfy this world’s needs, it will always take more. There will be no end to this, will there?”
“Your Grace-”
The Creator turned and left, closing the door on the anemo god still standing outside, trying to explain.
How dare they? Was the only thought running through the Creator’s head.
It’d taken months upon months of lying and appeasing. They’d accepted the ceremonies that their acolytes had tried to make them attend, they’d accepted the sacrifices, even the devotion of the archons themselves.
They’d slowly gathered materials from the ruins of Khaenari’ah, lying to the acolytes that they’d like to see the destroyed nation rebuilt - and wasn’t that a blow to the archons?
They’d lied through their teeth about how Khaenari’ah had been their main source of worship, letting the archons hang their heads in shame, when really, they had no idea what the nation had been like.
They’d let Teyvat believe they were God.
Managing to find the original blueprints to the machine Albedo had created had been difficult, but they’d managed, faking an interest in the specifics of alchemy. Maybe in another life, they’d have been good friends with the homunculus, but in the situation they were in now...
And they’d finally managed to reconstruct it in the privacy of their palace, ready to go home.
Their only mistake had been letting themself get distracted, agreeing to one last celebration in their name from their worshippers.
After all, they were to leave that very night. Why not pretend one last time, and mourn what could have been of their friendships with those characters. If only the characters hadn’t been so obsessed with their false image of their Creator, the one they’d forced upon them.
But it’d all been a lie.
The Archons themselves had snuck into their palace, hypocrites that they were - accusing so many others of blasphemy, but invading the privacy of their God without hesitation.
As they’d danced and reveled alongside those in Mondstadt, the Archons had utterly destroyed the machine, burning the blueprints.
When they’d discovered the broken pieces of it late at night, long after the celebration had ceased, they’d been unable to understand.
The Archons crowded them, cooing at them how they simply didn’t understand how important it was that they stayed.
“Your Grace, it was simply necessary. We can’t allow you to leave us. Besides, your place is alongside us!”
They’d been ushered out of the scorched room, and had retreated to a numb figurehead that was paraded around.
And yet, there still remained a spark of defiance in their heart. But as time passed, and the celebrations and eternal worship remained, it froze over, icy as the cold winds of Snezhnaya.
No longer did they allow themselves to be escorted outside, to be gazed upon with awe. They refused to leave the seclusion of the palace, and refused to interact with any of their followers.
They never spoke, wearing a black veil over their face - ever mourning.
As the throngs of worshippers gathered outside, they cried out.
What have we done wrong?
What must we do to rectify this?
Why won’t you talk to us anymore?
None were answered.
The air in Teyvat grew frigid, choking the air out of the people’s lungs. The plants and trees withered away, leaving behind naught but lifeless shrubs. And the sky no longer shone as bright as a clear diamond, but instead grey, darker still.
Instead, Teyvat slowly died, and the crowds of worshippers grew more and more insistent.
The Archons gathered to try and sway the Creator, but the Creator refused any of their audiences. Instead, they hid away in the darkest and coldest wing of the golden palace, unwilling to face anyone.
Teyvat itself felt the suffering of the Creator - resonated with it.
Maybe on the day it all started, it agreed with the Archons. Maybe it had agreed the Creator needed to stay with it - maybe it wanted to be a little selfish.
But now...
Now it was evident the Creator was no longer thriving in this land.
And it would always put the Creator first - even if it took a while.
With one last question the Creator, it let them leave. Stepping through a golden portal, so easy and simple as if it had been that way the entire time.
“Do you wish to leave that badly? To leave the entire world to rot and die?”
“Yes.”
“Then it shall be.”

No, but imagine the Harbingers with an isekai-d villain AU darling who just h a t e s the fatui. I'm speaking of loathing so intense that, like, even when they're the only group that will aid them, darling just declines their help through gritted teeth and walks off as if they aren't actively being hunted down by violent worshippers.
That'd be so funny to see!
They offer their help, and Darling's like:
"Mmmmm nope! I might die without your help and everything, but I will spite you until my last breath! Bye!"
And walks straight out of Schneznaya and into the acolyte's arms.
And I mean
Diluc would respect that
"You're impersonating our god and that's absolute blasphemy and I gotta kinda kill you for that but hey if you don't like the fatui enough to die because of it I will absolutely respect that good on you"

hi! can i request the acolytes reacting to a touch starved darling after the events of the impostor au quietly approaching them for a hug?
Well, they're all (no matter who you approach) so grateful that you came to them, even if you don't trust them as much as they'd wish. However, this signals process!
I'm going to do the main 3 archons we've got, plus some Xiao for fun!
Zhongli's extremely surprised, but he's also the type to be more observant than others. It may not seem it, but he's extremely attentive to all of his God's needs.
He's most likely noticed that his God looks longing for touch, but also seems to be shyer. He might be the one you approach to ask for a hug, but he's definitely dropped a couple hints that you can ask from him, and in turn it's made you more comfortable in asking.
He doesn't dare squeeze too tightly, but he's firm in his hug and doesn't move until you do. He'll most likely approach you afterwards and ask if you'd like another. He's still respective of your boundaries, especially if you still seem nervous around him.
Venti is a little more... oblivious compared to Zhongli. He's less likely to notice how you're uncomfortable asking for a hug. As a general personality trait, he's not shy about getting in other people's personal space, so he can't really empathize with you feeling almost hesitant. If it were him, he'd take without even asking.
He'll totally oblige though! He doesn't really notice the atmosphere of the room in the end, and takes this as permission to tackle hug you randomly whenever he sees you. He's super wiggly when you hug him, and the hugs are never long. He's always all over the place, ready to do something new the instant it catches his attention.
If it ends up making it worse, being touch starved and wanting hugs, but also being terrified of Venti tackling you (after all, it brings back memories of cold eyes and a bow pointed at your throat without hesitation), Venti's really apologetic. He'll probably end up swallowing whatever scraps of pride he has and ask another acolyte on how to best fix the situation. He can't help himself in the end and might forget sometimes but - hey, he's trying, right?
Ei is probably the worst of the three. She hasn't had human contact - or really any contact - in a hundred years, especially not since her sister died.
So, in the end, she's as touch starved as you are. She needs the contact and is the quickest to give you a hug. However, she's extremely stiff the entire time, like she doesn't know what to do.
If you're hesitant about approaching her, she'll try and understand that her appearance brings back bad memories of her puppet trying to kill you. She's probably more focused on the events around asking for a hug more than the hug itself - when she hears you're arriving, she's ready to give you anything you'd like, and readily holds your hand if you look like you need it. When she does hug you though, she makes a silent promise to herself to improve her hugging - although how to do so is another matter entirely.
Xiao, much like Ei, doesn't really know how to do a hug. He's pretty awkward about it, and he just kinda... stands there until you release him.
He doesn't want you to stop coming to him for hugs though, so he's in a sort of panic trying to figure out how to not scare you off with his stiff demeanor and awkward personality.
Unlike Ei, he doesn't think of asking Zhongli or any other acolyte for help. He just kinda... suffers.
He'll loosen up eventually, of course. It's only natural. But he can't help but remember how he had knocked you onto your back and almost killed you on the beaches of Guyun, and it makes him panic that you've brought him so close again. He doesn't have a super high opinion of himself in that case, and is extremely conflicted. Should he bring you closer to make you more comfortable? In that case, what if he ends up hurting you again?
There's a lot of self sabotage in there - he's grumpy if you stop coming to him, but scared if you do keep coming.
