#Noctilu
Text
Finally finished up some oc basefills!! These are surprisingly hard pfh, but fun !! In order this is Noctilu, Acacia, and General Hail! The latter two are v old ocs of mine that have been redesigned <3
Okay heres some bonus stuff!! I really liked how some of the lineart was done so here is the raw lineart for anyone interested + a speedpaint (?) of General Hail’s design process ! These guys were really fun to work on despite it taking me so long for no good reason ,,, heres some design notes on them all <3
Noctilu has a Lancier attached to the leather holster as he is the main fisher aboard the pirate ship he is part of
Noct’s line-wing patterns arent always visible, but some nightwing seers claim that the lines help them trace future timelines. Since Noct is a Nightwing Hybrid he wonders if those claims hold any truth
Acacia is a botanist out of the Scorpion Den ! Her bag is filled with journals, loose note paper, and writing supplies.
General Hail was hard as fuck to design guh . He is purple because I want him to be <3
Although he was part of the War of Sandwing Succession, he was born without his back leg and has had a prosthetic forever! Plus he was a very skilled fighter so most of his scars were inflicted by those he let harm him for whatever reason he had in the moment
Astrolabe I gave up on trying to redesign I’m so sorry bud. Hes Married to Noctilu (they have matching earring) and is the ships cartographer / navigator, so his quiver is actually filled with maps and scrolls. He keeps his actual astrolabe and sextant in his bags.
#BIIIG INSPO WAS AVIAN !! AVIANREPTILES DOT TUMBLR DOT COM!!! Go check out its art its . so so good at base edits and stuff <33!!!!!#guh also note that all the colors got super desaturated on tumblr so just imagine everyone is more vibrant </3#especially Acacia </3#okay uh . sorry for this longer post I had fun doing theses and wanted to post them all in one go and also I like talking about my ocs !!!!#they are fun I enjoy them a lot <33 Acacia and Hail were super cathartic to work on didn’t know how much shit I had built up around them#if anyone remembers me from Amino they prolly recognize those two pfhbh#either way yeah!!!! if you have any questions about any of them please uh . feel free to ask tee hee#oc#acacia#general hail#Noctilu#Astrolabe#basefill#Designin#oc: acacia#oc: general hail#oc: noctilu#oc: astrolabe

"Ningguang's Dog" - Male!Reader x Ningguang
CW: Male!Reader.
A/N: Things have been quiet recently, I am aware of that. Currently, I'm working on the second chapter of Mortuarius, and a big smut fic. Don't hold your breath, though. I don't know when those will be completed.
Ningguang's life never was free from criticism and pressure - after all, there's no one higher in Liyue than Tianquan. That fact naturally attracts prying eyes and jealous competitors, just waiting for a chance to undermine her reputation and, hopefully, take her place. But it has been plenty of time and nobody succeeded.
The attention grew since she started meeting up with you. You were both aware of that being the case if you would date, and both agreed to take it on. Although Ningguang never officially confirmed that fact, everybody knew what was going on. She was often seen with you out in the city, during official events, as well as the festivities. She was also seen with you after hours in a few luxurious restaurants. That didn’t leave much place for guessing.
Most were happy for her. Especially the older, more conservative folk. Ningguang was a spinster in their eyes, so having a husband would make things more “normal” in their eyes. Are such opinions premature? Yes, very much so. Those that aren’t happy are mostly neutral or just okay with that fact. But some? Boy, are they upset.
Unsurprisingly, most of them are bitter, old entrepreneurs - rivals of Ningguang. How can she be so happy with you? They shower her in gifts: expensive jewelry, precious artifacts, priceless paintings, luxury food… And all they get is a hum of satisfaction, or a smile if they are lucky, while you? You give her trash like silver necklaces, small outings, flowers, or nothing at all. Despite that, Ningguang always smiles brightly and thanks you profusely.
Actually, you don’t even need to do anything for her to smile. She does that seemingly just because you’re there. The mean ones compare you to a dog, or rather a puppy. Hence your nickname - “Ningguang’s Dog”.
Those gifts they call “trash” are more precious than anything they ever gave her, Ningguang thinks. Those are heartless emotional bribes, stripped of all feeling and good intent. Unlike yours. No matter how small your offering is, it always carries love. A small silver necklace with a Noctilus Jade was bought with your hard earned money. You could have borrowed it from her - she would gladly spare you as much Mora as you wished, but still you chose to get it yourself. Those Glaze Lilies you bring aren’t there to help convince her - you get them because they “remind you of her beauty”. And the outings? It may not be Xinyue Kiosk every time, but the place is still always nice, with the right atmosphere and tasty food. And, of course, you are there.
You. It’s the reason. Simple as. This is how love feels like, doesn’t it? Being happy simply because her lover is there, that she has the privilege of your affection, she gets to be showered in those few-but-honest gifts, the best of them being your genuine feeling.
Ningguang wears your gifts with pride, even if they stand out. She will never not do so. It’s a sign that you chose her, of all the Liyue women. Social status means nothing when it comes to love - it transcends boundaries. There are girls better than her, of course. Kinder, more energetic, with more free time and energy to devote to their lovers. Still, she got to enjoy you. How lucky she is, she still can’t believe it.
And the critics? If they don’t comprehend such a straightforward thing as love, they don’t deserve even a snippet of her recognition.
Thanks for reading!

Reinstalled TWW2.
Vampire Coast campaign.
Pirates of Sartosa.
Remembered that they suck so bad without the mod that gives them actual living units instead of just being a worse version than Luthor's campaign.
What was CA thinking when they decided to add Aranessa as a LL but relegate Van Gheist to the role of summon?
Vampire Coast are weird. Harkon and Noctilus are incredibly fun (especially Noctilus imo). I definitely think Vangheist should have been more prominent, and honestly should have replaced Aranessa... because Aranessa just isn't part of the Vampire Coast. At all. She's not an undead. She doesn't use undead. Her most famous crewmate is an Ogre. Then the DLC would have had a symmetry to it, too; two vampires, two ghosts. They could also have swapped out Cylostra for Skretch, since "Zombie Pirate Captain Skaven" is an incredible concept.

Teyvat Anonymous.
Modern AU where there exists an anonymous internet abuse support forum called "Teyvat Anonymous". Every night a chat window pops up and conversation strikes between three users: IceWine, Noctilus Jade, Shiba Inu, Dendro? (insert Alhaitham's username here, I haven't figured it out yet).
Alternate Story.
Childe being a member of the Fatui knows about the forum and often infiltrate some chat windows for Fatui intel. One day he discovers the chat window where our four victims are chatting. At first he didn't think much about it, but then he scrolls through the conversation and notices some familiar details. Like how the user Noctilus Jade likes precious stones and talks about his job at a funeral home.
He sends the link to the forum and chat window to his three buddies, Diluc, Ayato, and Kaveh. He also decided to have some fun himself and infiltrate their chat. He needs to have a word with "Noctilus Jade".

"Dear, surely you know the answer by now?" By Zhongli
here you go! i saw your second ask too, thank you <;3
from @ddarker-dreams "the first contract" series... i've wanted to do this for a long time and i'm glad i got the opportunity to now :D
You know me. Yan!Zhongli x God!Darling.
Something flickers across your face, a minuscule clenching of your jaw, a flash of anger in your eyes. Zhongli takes it all in with nothing more than a faint smile, holding your glare for as much time as it takes for him to raise his cup to his lips.
It was tradition, not just to have a meal together on the anniversary of the signing of your contact, but also for you to ask him: why. Why, out of all the archons, had he chosen you? Why had he wanted to bind you to his side for eternity?
Why couldn’t he just let you go?
You never needed to ask the question anymore - Zhongli, perceptive as he was, a skill gained through the ages, never gave you a straight answer anyway. Recently he’d taken to answering your questions with questions of his own.
Surely you know the answer by now?
And it certainly, utterly, completely annoyed you, because you did.
The gentle, kind Vephar, a perfect spouse for the gentle, kind Rex Lapis. It sounded like a dream, didn’t it?
Evidently, he had thought so too.
"I would appreciate it if you gave me a proper answer," you reply, watching him levelly over the rim of your cup. the action seems to amuse Zhongli, who only chuckles and sets his cup down. Nothing you do seems to be able to faze him, from the hostile remarks you greet him with every morning to the cold attitude you've been giving him for the past century or so.
"I don't think you need a straight answer, Vephar."
The use of your real name has your fingers tightening around the porcelain body of your cup.
"I believe my spouse is intelligent enough to answer such questions on their own."
You shut your eyes as a ripple passes through the lotuses all around you, stirring their peaceful bobbing for a brief moment. The forest quiets its murmuring, enough for you to hear the rush of blood in your ears as you compose yourself.
Zhongli smiles and refills both your cups.
"I'm beginning to think that you might not be as agreeable as the people of Liyue insist you are, Rex Lapis." Two could play at this game - if you both hadn't already been playing it for the past millennia or so.
"Perhaps. But it's been a long time since I've had need to partake in conflict. The adepti do a fair job of defending our land."
Our. The word has you nearly hissing. nothing left in Liyue belongs to you - not even yourself.
You turn away, not wanting to play anymore. Best not to further ruin your already sour mood on a day that not even your mortal companions could make better. Zhongli always seems to be sharper on this day, and you know better than to pick fights you couldn’t win.
Another ripple passes through nature, a sorrowful one that has the lotuses bowing their heads towards you. A lone bird trills over the forest and you turn your head towards the sound.
You had created this land with him, and yet...
A hand closes gently over yours, and every muscle in your body tenses.
But Zhongli only turns it over, placing a small sculpture of yourself made out of noctiluous jade, just how the mortals remember you - exquisite, beautiful, powerful. A gift.
Your eyes prick with tears as your fingers curl lightly around it. It wasn't their fault that their archon had deceived them into thinking that the god of contracts and the god of sand were in love - mortals were so vulnerable, so fragile, and they loved so deeply, felt so strongly about everything.
And every day of the year, they would continue to be the only ones capable of escaping your scorn.
— word count: 632. thank you for reading!

it may be my crystal obsession, but imagine cult! Zhongli making us a cor lapis throne???? and decorating the whole teapot-house-room with cor lapis/marvle/Liyue crystal columns and everything???
if that is what you want then so be it. he'll even build you a temple made of marble and gold just to have a place for the cult to worship you. he'll build you a throne of quartz and cor lapis, make you jewelry of silver and noctilus jade, and give you a hairpin carved from onix and jade. there is nothing he won't give you.

general | x.
whenever xiao remembered the archon war, he would remember the countless deaths by his hand and the bloodstained battlefield. he could recall the elements reacting all around him as he protected liyue.
but what he would never forget, was them.
the general that died in his arms.
the archon war was seemingly endless. countless of innocents were killed during the war, towns were destroyed and cities were vanquished. only seven nations remained tall, but xiao could never forget the gods he and his fellow adepti fought alongside the god of contracts and geo, morax.
he could never forget the bloodstained battlefields, the cries of anguish and anger ringing in the battlefield. whenever xiao recalled the archon war, his mind would drift to one particular battle. it was before the death of guizhong, the god of dust. it was to protect on of liyue’s larger lands, and he was sent alongside an army to protect the land. it was a slaughter with an adepti present, but casualties in his side was also inevitable.
he just didn’t expect you to die.
granted, you weren’t the strongest in all of liyue. but you were a general - rex lapis didn’t give titles like that to weaklings. a general must be the strongest of their platoon, must possess intelligence and power. you were hailed as a general by the god of geo himself - whose other alias was the god of war.
xiao knew not to get attached to mortals for they were fragile and weak, vulnerable and mortal. they had an expiration date, in a sense. but he couldn’t help it. how could he, when you gazed at him with kind eyes despite knowing of his past? how could he, when your voice seemingly rid him of his burdens, even if temporarily? it never failed to surprise xiao whenever he sees you - you were kind and gentle, merciful and loving. you gave mercy to your enemies.
you were a rarity amongst humans - you were kind, but you would kill if asked to. you would perform your duty with no fail. you gave xiao a sense of peace and freedom, and with you, he felt like he wasn’t an adepti. like he wasn’t a weapon of war.
and maybe that was what hurt most.
being with you, he felt like he was rid of his sins, even if temporary. losing you has deprived xiao of that feeling - peacefulness, calmness, serendipity.
love.
xiao did not know what ‘love’ was. he was foreign to this emotion called love. when he asked you, one summer day where everything seemed calm, you laughed softly.
“love is a powerful emotion, xiao.” you told him with kind eyes as you wove a flower crown with calloused hands. “love is what keeps all of us going - even in this dark times. fathers go to war for the safety of their family, mothers learn medical practice to save people.” you had told him, smiling softly as you hold up the flower crown.
xiao remains silent, thinking about what you have said. he stares at you, unknown to you. he watches as your hair seemingly glimmered in the sun, how your eyes twinkled like the prettiest noctilus jade. he feels warmth bloom in his heart, unmistakably fond for the battle hardened general. without thinking, xiao’s hand came up to cup your cheek, startling you.
you look at him, and your eyes softens when you see xiao’s vulnerable ones. gently, you cradle his hand. “i’m scared.” he admits. “tomorrow, we leave for battle. i know you are strong, but i am still scared for you.” xiao spoke. you hum, and you smile at him. “don’t worry, xiao.” you assure him, and the wind blew gently. the flower petals were blown off, flying in the air as the golden hue of the sun shined down upon you.
“i don’t plan on dying soon.”
xiao could only chuckle bitterly whenever he remembers your words. it was strangely funny, that you said that. yet, you ended up dying the next day in battle. you ended up on your back, blood under you as you choke on your own blood. xiao could remember how his world crumbled, all those thousands of years ago. where he donned his adepti mask again, and slaughtered his enemies, granting them victory.
xiao felt numb.
his amber eyes stared at your falling form, three spears protruding from you. he couldn’t hear anything, the battle silencing almost immediately as he stares at your fallen form. at the blood under you as your bright eyes slowly turned dull. the world seemingly stopped rotating in it’s axis as xiao trembled. he didn’t know what to feel as he approached you, knees sinking on the ground as he cradled you.
you stared up at him with glassy eyes, and even in your deathbed, even with you losing blood rapidly,
you smiled.
“...you...you...” xiao could only choke, hands trembling as he pushed away your bloodied bangs away from your face. you merely retained your smile, your trembling hand coming to cradle xiao’s hand. “i...would...have liked....it...to...grow old....with you...” you whispered to him, voice faint and weak.
xiao could only clutch your cooling body as your eyes dulled and your hand dropped softly.
the adepti looked out into the clearing, shutting his eyes as he lets out a soft sigh. his hand came up to trace the preserved qingxin flower crown hanging by his belt, and his eyes softens once more.
this was for you.
the general that died in his arms.
the person he didn’t get to love,

The Zhongli trailer tho....it was so...cute?
He appreciates beauty, so he buys the vase with the flower imprint, he appreciates minerals and craftmanship, so he buys the noctilus jade AND the cor lapis. AND he buys a gift for the assistant.
Xiangling is cooking, so he brings his boyfriend Childe to her restaurant, order BOTH dishes, tips Xiangling as Sheznaya’s custom (and reddit pointed that the 888 amount is aspicious for chinese people) AND buys Childe very nice chopsticks.
THEN he buys the hairpins to bring them back to the owner PLUS EXTRA for living expanses....
Like, I wan already in love with Zhongli but now???????????? Now I’m just too deep

Which faction shoule i play next in TWW2? Got all the dlcs btw
I’m a huge fan of Count Noctilus and his Vampirates, personally. I think their campaign is fun and their units are entertaining. Also Noctilus gets a pet walking ship.
Ikit Claw and Throt are both quality Skaven campaigns.
Eltharion and Alarielle are both decently fun high elf campaigns.
