The truth is: Saihara keeps losing time.
The lie is: he doesn’t know why.

from time immemorial in cultures all over the world, storytellers have asked: what if there was a guy who kicked major ass? what if he kicked so much ass, every time someone stepped to him, he found even cooler ways to kick ass?

Hey idk what writer/artist/creative needs to hear this but: You can create the most garbage self-indulgent poorly made full-of-cliches awkward ugly piece of art on the entire planet and you're still allowed to be proud of it and share it with the world. In fact, I outright encourage you to be proud. You deserve it. I love you. Keep making things.

oooh can i ask what other genshin fics you've been reading? wld love to know what other characters you've been into :)
a mixed bag, though mostly sumeru characters, as of late! here's a handful to chew on...
here is the house | cynonari, haikaveh, canon-compliant | Tighnari & Cyno through the years. | this prose is a delight to read, with lovely emotional nuance. writing the events up to and through canon archon quest, and the road to becoming a family... ongoing!
A Wanderer Witnesses the Heat Death of the Universe | nahida & scaramouche, post-canon | “And the longer your future lasts, the shorter your past will become, until one day it is but a tiny fraction of your life,” said Kusanali, the Lord of Wisdom. | i really think nahida & scaramouche are possibly the most fascinating characters & relationship mhy has come up with yet. a character study that's marked unfinished
if a tree falls in a forest | nahida & scaramouche, bodyswap | “Whoopsies,” Scaramouche says, and her own voice comes out. “That’s all you’ve got? Whoopsies?” | get to know someone by walking a mile in their shoes, literally!! if you only ever read one scaramouche & nahida fic make it this one. the writer sums up their dynamic as "outdoor cat and their favorite human" which is 100% good and true
The Stars, Eternal | dainsleif & venti | Dainsleif comes every year to put flowers by the Windrise tree. Once, Venti sees him. | written pre-Chasm and interlude quests, i think? immortal beings struggling with mortality (of a sort) is evergreen
cloudburst | ayato/thoma, kamisato fam, yakuza AU | Growing up in the sprawling criminal underbelly of Kobe, Ayato has always known exactly what it means to be the heir of the region's oldest and most established yakuza clan: that he is under constant pressure, constant threat, and the precondition of bearing it all alone. | really nails the dynamics i like the most about ayato & thoma together, and the kamisato family as a whole. unfinished, but the currently published chapters are the complete part 1. gorgeous writing
