Poor Emmanellain sending this relatively new, silent, stoic adventurer off on a delivery only to realize its going to take twice as long as just delivering it himself.

Zenos gets to deal with both the pain of not being able use Aetherytes and being dramatically stubborn of doing a job he was given regardless of it.

Do you have any thoughts (or headcanons) on Emmeryn for like. writing her? The game gives us so little, I have a lot of trouble with it, but I refuse to give up and write her out!

OH MAN I HAVE A TON OF THOUGHTS ON WRITING EMMERYN I honestly love getting to play around with her and I wish I had more opportunities to really do so.

She may look frail, but much like Lissa, she's not delicate, and actually a lot stronger than she appears. Emmeryn experienced firsthand what her father's strength could do when he used it carelessly, and she had made every effort to be gentle in all matters; however, when her emotions are running particularly high, she can slip and be more forceful (things like hugging her brother extra tight when he gets back from a dangerous mission because she's just so relieved to see him safe).

Similarly, while she may appear calm and measured, it's actually a mask that she's spent years perfecting, starting with interactions with her father and proceeding through her early years as Exalt. Emmeryn is much more emotional than she lets on, but she's had to be this perfect icon for so many people in her life -- a guardian for her siblings, a leader to the Ylissean people -- that it's become habit by now to wear it. When the mask does slip, it's usually because something has pushed her to a breaking point (though her partners can see the full measure of her trust in them when she purposefully sheds it).

Mask or not, Emm is a very compassionate person, and despite her cultural upbringing, she makes every effort to treat everyone -- regardless of their history or heritage -- with kindness and respect. Because of this, she tends not to react instantaneously to anything: whatever her gut reaction is, she does not voice it, instead taking a moment to examine it before speaking so that she can avoid causing offense with a thoughtless remark.

Emm is a pacifist: she has no intention of making war the way her father did, only of defending her nation's borders when needed. This does not, however, make her a pushover: Emmeryn is much more stubborn than her brother, and staunchly refuses to back down when she sets her mind to something. We get at least a glimpse of this when news arrives about Maribelle's kidnapping: she turns both her brother and the captain of the pegasus knights down when they insist on making Gangrel pay, insisting instead on speaking with Gangrel directly to try finding a way to peace.

This can, however, be something of a double-edged sword. Emm's pacifism extends to the point where she hesitates to use the power that she has at her command, having seen the horrors wrought by its abuse under her father. This can lead to its own kind of abuse -- specifically by those who realize that they'll never be punished for disobedience because she won't bring her power to bear against them. This rarely happens out in the open, of course, but I suspect that it's much more widespread than she would ever want to believe.

Above all else, Emmeryn loves her siblings and her country. She walks the street without any barriers between herself and her people, clear proof of her trust and affection for them. I suspect that, along with her routine bureaucratic and legislative duties, she makes time whenever she's able to hold audiences for the common folk, listen to their grievances, and offer what aid she can to ease their burdens. She recognizes that they are the heart of the nation, and Ylisse would crumble without their support; her popularity stems in no small part to how she tends to their needs, rather than prizing the nobility over all else as her father had.

Again, though, this is something of a double-edged sword, as she has not done herself any favors with the nobles. Between the way she favors the common folk and her stubborn refusal to give them the benefits they got used to under the former Exalt; while they're polite to her face, more than one noble is frustrated by how she's chosen to rule the halidom. Their pushes to have her marry are not only so that she will have an heir to continue the Exalted Lineage, but in hopes that her spouse will be able to wrench some measure of favor back to the family that weds her; on top of that, some have far more wicked plots to depose her entirely, like the hierarch who sold her out to Gangrel for the likely promise of power.

I miss genshin I wanna hang out with my team and chill at my teapot and make everyone cookies and stuff TT

I've decided to almost completely exclude Elysian Realm from Snippets. At most I might cover Mobius' trip in there and maybe have Hua enter there, but other than that ER served no real purpose except to explain why CE Herrschers are different from PE Herrschers. HoC basically played almost no role outside of ER anyways, Raven and Gray Serpenr handled it pretty much on their own (from how it was presented at least. Felt like a Tuesday for them)

Its up to change, I'll have to wait for HoO and HoFi transformations to see how they work.

While on the topic I might as well mention that I'm also planning for WS to go with the previous Project Stigma the game kept building up to. But I would have Misteln build on to that plan, instead of changing it completely. So flood the Earth in Honkai, use the powers of Finality to make Forms appear to continue civilisation, like, just open the gates with Finality to let Forms easily manifest.

None of this weird adam or collective unconscious thing that is somehow easily reversed(???). Kill all humans, Stigma Awakened survives, Forms appear to help continue civilisation.

And now I am going to rant a little.

Why the fuck is Project Stigma somehow easily reversible? What the fuck are the actual stakes any more? If we stop Kevin we can reverse everything and everyone lived happily ever after??

I feel no stakes from the finale of part 1. WS wants us to win. Misteln helped us, Kevin doesnt want to do Project Stigma but he feels backed into a corner to do it, and even if he does do it we can just reverse engineer it if we stop him? So no harm would actually be made?

What is your favorite idea off the 4 page idea document? (Also: hello!!)

Hello! So that would be the one I'm currently working on because I'm inspired by it. And I recently got the idea so I'm excited by it.

Here's the idea: Just before season 6, Crowley offers Cas the famous deal of working together to open Purgatory and get the souls (like in canon). But Cas doesn't trust him and since he doesn't want to ask Dean if it's a good idea or not, he time travels in the past. Sam is still in Stanford while Dean hunts alone. He wants to know if Dean would like to have peaceful life, away from hunting and with a family of his own.

I'm not sure if there'll be smut. I already have the title though. It's called "I'm doing this because of you" to refer to Cas's line from episode 6x20 The Man Who Would Be King when he comes to Bobby's house and talk with Dean. And by saying that it kind of refers to the fact that he does that because of Dean, because of Dean from the past. Because this Dean he asked told him that he wanted a peaceful life and a family.

I don't know if it really makes sense, in my mind it does at least. And I hope it will makes sense when I'll finish it.

And I know you asked just for one, but since I LOVE human!cas I have to mention it. Months ago I started a looooong fic which is an alternate season 9 with Cas staying human and living at the bunker with the brothers and Kevin and I tried resolving all plots from this season but it's hard and now I'm lost so I stopped, but maybe one day I'll finish it. Because I'll be happy to achieve that.
