Re-Creation of Tevat
Part 2 of this:
You click download one more time, oh it worked! The update is also downloaded! Time to play some genshin! What could go wrong? :D
___________________________
As you log into your account once again, you were exited! A New boss and a New story quest?! This is gonna be fun binge playing it the whole night!!
But as soon as you log in, your characters in the screen seemed a bit diffrent.
Some of them are not using their voice lines anymore! And the usually smiley characters seem to lack emotion!
"Hmm is this an another bug? Maybe i need to re-install again-"
And just like that you Heard your mains idle voiceline, guess it wasn't broken afterall!
_____________________
Some playable characters were scared, of you and what you can do if they were to make you upset.
What if you got bored of playing everyday? What if you get bored of them and decide to delete them and only them?
They won't be remembered. No one will honour their death. They will be gone in an instant, and forever.
Npcs however, theyre not sentient, therefore they dont remember anything.
But they are worried about others. İs that a vision holder thing? Why are most of them upset?
Yoimiya's father tries to cheer her up by giving her a special order by him, but she wasnt feeling up to it at these days. Give her a few days, she will catch up with her work soon, profably.
Qiqi didn't remember anything but she felt scared when she was at the dark, she needs to hold Baizu's hand while sleeping now.
Nilou stoped doing dances on your name, in fear that she might do or say something wrong and she might be deleted. Her menager is worried about her, as she was starting to get popular with those dances in particular, why sudden fear for wrath from you?
Knights of favonious now have a Church day to give offerings to you and barbatos, so that you will feel more at esse and less angry.
Speaking of gods..
Venti is dissapointed in you. How dare you kill those innocent people? Even though no one seems to remember you still had no right doing that!
Ei is scared. She swore on eternity, the unchanging and unwielding truth, but didn't knew it would be so easily destroyer in your hands. She doesn't want to live through something like that ever again. She has to be stronger. Than maybe, maybe you will at least be willing to listen to her.
Zhongli's wiew of you didn't change. He knew you were strong and can delete everything with a click of a finger. He was more concerned on why? Did something happen in your world? İs it something they did? He will make sure to ask when you visit Tevat personally.
Nahida is a baby god. She feels betrayed. She always thought of you as the only truth in this world of lies. The world that doesnt even exist in people thought it is. Why would you?! She tought you loved this world? What changed? Why did you downloaded it again now? Why are you playing with their feelings?
(maybe i might update when New gods are present)
____________________________
(you came to tevat and explained)
Venti feels SO MAD AT HİMSELF HE JUMPED İNTO CONCLUSİONS AND SPEAKED BLASPHEMY OF YOU OH DEAR-
Nahida feels a bit better, still traumatised but better. İf you didnt do that than you wouldnt ve able to come to this world. So she forgives you!(just not forgets, checks the codes so it doesnt happen again)
Ei still feels the same. She felt your power. Experianced it firsthand. She will be strong enough to get recocnision from you. To be worthy of your Side.
Zhongli feels relived, he tought something bad happened to you so, he is happy that you're ok. -Also tells you to feel free to tell them change anything you might find boring just in case-
_______________________________
Nahida: creator what is this... Homework folder?
Creator: NO DONT OPEN THAT-

The VTuber: The Songstress
Tumblr media
Errant: Haaaa…
(Thud)
A dull thud was heard as, Errant’s head struck the table, thus was his reaction to receiving the the end title screen after losing a game on survivalist, endurance mode whilst playing, Frostpunk.
Errant: I don’t get it? I can do a lot of these maps on medium difficulty, but this one. I just can’t do it?! I mean, it’s the same map as the, Refugees Scenario, and yet I keep losing? Why?
~~~Stream Chat~~~
Kingsbane: GG
FallenStarDrop: GG
VoluptuousFox: GG
PengoQueen: GG
~~~~~~
Errant: Okay… Coal, and people to mine said coal… If I had more of those, I probably would have lasted longer. Could I have one? Possibly, but, well you don’t exactly win, Endurance mode games, just last a long time till you’ve had enough of it. But, why can’t I win this map?!
~~~Stream Chat~~~
Junipz: I’ll stay with you to the bitter end captain!
FallenValkyrie: Your voice is devine!
TempestPotato: All hail our glorious leader!
~~~~~~
Errant: Pfft.
Errant laughed for a brief moment as he read the chat knowing full well that these were things said by the NPC’s in game, although, he knew some of them meant it in another way.
Errant: Alright, once more onto the breach, or shall we play something el… Hmm?
Errant looked up upon hearing the sounds of blades clashing to see that a donation had been made.
Errant: Hey, DestinyForsaken, thanks for the, $20 donation, I greatly appreciate it. And, there’s a message attached to it… “Hey, Errant how about taking a break, and watching the new music video from, SnowAngel?” SnowAngel? SnowAngel, SnowAngel…?
Errant drummed his fingers atop his desk, his eyes looking heavenwards as they dart back, and forth, his mind deep in though as he tried to recall which streamer went by the name of, ‘SnowAngel.’
Errant: Ah ha!
He suddenly jolted forward with a snap of his fingers as the name finally struck a chord within his mind. At least her tried to snap his fingers on account he couldn’t actually do it.
Errant: IHateMyDad2.0! SnowAngel is the name she uses for when she does music. Her album cover name, thingy? I don’t know music terminology.
Errant shrugged at the camera.
~~~Stream Chat~~~
BaconFighter: It confuses me too.
Halo1EE7: Why is that her name?
PenguWithAGun: It is a weird name
Trumpeter97th: I love her singing voice!
Kingsbane: I heard it’s a rerelease of a old song she did.
Squeekem’s: I heard it was a remix
DesireUnbound: Let’s hear it!
~~~~~~
Errant: Why is, IHateMyDad2.0 her VTuber name? Well, to put it simply, she hates, key word, hates her father. Her first account was simply, IHateMyDad. Her dad found out she was a streamer, and forced her to delete her account. A year later she came back, hence why she added, 2.0 to her VTuber alias. Now, I don’t know what happened between her, and her father, but it’s none of my business either, so I don’t ask. If she wanted people to know she would let them. But, IHateMyDad2.0 isn’t a braggart looking for sympathy points like some people… So I will leave it at so. Now then… what is this new song of yours?
Upon the screen appeared a video displaying, IHateMyDad2.0 latest single release.
Errant: Mirror Mirror? Hmm? Wonder what this is all about. Let’s find out shall we~?
youtube
Errants face was a blank void throughout the whole video. The most emotions he displayed throughout the video was the occasional humming in thought that escaped his lips. When the song reached the credits he paused the video before he sat back, and addressed his stream.
Errant: Well… what do you think chat?
~~~Stream Chat~~~
Junipz: Awesome!
KillmongerBunny: I had no idea she could sing
VelveteenKitty: That was a pretty song
SteveWasHere: Nice animation
IceWallowCome: What was she fighting?
GingerSnap: Did you not enjoy it?
TempestPotato: You seem rather blank
ChibiCapybara: He didn’t like it
BaconFighter: But, it was good
~~~~~~
Errant: I never said that chat… granted I never said anything, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it.
~~~Stream Chat~~~
FallenStarDrop: So you do like it?
KreigsMarine0971: Then why didn’t you?
VoluptuousFox: Yeah, you just sat there looking thoughtful
Quinten: He looked hot in his brooding stance
CelestialDoggo: Damn hot
~~~~~~
Errant: Uh huwwww…
Errant had come to expect the more depraved comments members of his chat made, but their timing always seemed to catch him off guard.
Errant: I was simply enjoying the song, and taking everything in. As well as the animation, I didn’t expect a animated music video. I like the way her character seemed to… fly like a swan before attacking that armoured knight with surgical precision. I especially liked that quick pace piano rift that seemed seemed to rise, and fall with the song. I will most definitely listen to this on repeat if it’s on Spotify for an indefinite amount of time until I find something else to draw my attention to.
Errant looked at the chat feed, with a questioning gaze of his own as he skimmed the comments.
Errant: What; did you expect me to give you a play-by-play colour commentary throughout the whole video? Not likely, I want to see what’s going on, and me talking in the midst of it takes me out of the immersion, did you really want me to break it to hear me complain about how that guy said: Introducing, in such a nasally voice? That would taken everyone out of the song! No?
~~~Stream Chat~~~
UziPatoozi: He’s right
KillmongerBunny: Yeah I have to watch the video, then the reaction
Tryto: Still would have liked to listen to daddy talk.
Hava196: Still a good song
FallenStarDrop: What’s with her model
Dimitree: She doesn’t look like, IHateMyDad2.0
~~~~~~
Errant: Ahh that’s because, this her character model was what her avatar in the, MMORPG, World of the Huntsmen, The Second Great Hunt, the second game in the series. It was her first outfit design before her father destroyed her account. I think she used this design for the AMV because when she probably wrote the song around the time she had this model. She did mention that she was a singer during a hunt I believe.
~~~ Stream Chat~~~
PengoQueen: Oh, that makes sense
SteveWasHere: I like the older more mature design
BannersRUs: She was a bit of a brat during the early days
~~~~~~
Errant couldn’t help but nodded his head at the last comment knowing full well the validity of their words.
Errant: You’re right, back when I played, World of The Huntsmen I did a few hunting missions with, IHateMyDad2.0. Good greif it’s a headache saying that over, and over again, she needs a nick name, or something. Anyway, she complained about her fellow teammates, and myself a lot… How we attacked, how we defended in a battle, you name it, she complained about it. Seriously she complained a lot…
He looked off into the void with a far off gaze as if he was reliving haunted memories of those days
Errant: (Shudder) That’s an unpleasant memory. But, she has matured a lot since she came back from her imposed hiatus. So, yay.
~~~Stream Chat~~~
VoluptuousFox: She’s gotten prettier
SparrowStar: A like the braid
KingsBane: I like her sisters model more
SeaNymph: Ara Ara energy from that one there!
KinkyMelody: Majot step on me mommy energy too
~~~~~~
Errant: Cool it chat, least I start calling you out on your simping.
Errant: …
Errant: Actually, half of you already are simps, so it doesn’t make a difference now does it? Now, back to, IHateMyDad2.0, and her music. I will most definitely listen to the song on repeat for an indefinite amount of time, until I find something else to listen on repeat for an indefinite amount of time. I thought the video was okay, but I was more interested in her singing. I think her singing was beautiful, and the rhythm was well paced. My only gripe is that I think the song could have been longer, it felt a little short to me, did it feel a little short to you guys chat, it felt short.
Errant looked to his chat with an almost lamenting look across his face as he felt disappointment at the song’s short overall length. But, he shrugged his should before he returned to the game at hand.
Errant: Oh well. Let’s get back to it shall we? After all; ‘The city must survive.’
~~~
Unbeknownst to, The ErrantryKnight, as he reviewed, IHateMyDad2.0’s song, he had one special viewer watching his video. One who was most pleased he review her song.
The SnowAngel herself, IHateMyDad2.0
Tumblr media
IHateMyDad2.0: H-He thinks my voice is beautiful…? HE thinks my voice is beautiful! Ahahahaha~! Take that, Cookie! He thinks I’m beautiful! Whoo!
And, with those simple words, IHateMyDad2.0’s mood skyrocketed, to a high that would never fall from.
That was until one of, Errant’s viewers, one of the infamous, ‘Fair Maidens’ entered her chat, and called her a skank that is.
Then all hell broke loose.

DnD AGSZC. You know you have HCs. Sharing is caring.
oh well, twist my arm why don'tcha!
So to start, Sephiroth is one of THOSE players. You know the ones: makes broken characters that seemingly can do anything by level five; consistently has a rather depressing backstory that drives their character to be a dick to everyone for the sake of "roleplay". one of THOSE PLAYERS (see also: the Chocobro... or as Salty has pointed out to me, the Genebro.)
Likes to dable with his Characters. Though his favorite remains his Dragonborn Oathbraker Paladin, named Azriel who turned on the party in one paticular campaign to join forces with a powerful female Dragonborn Litch... I don't thing I really need to tell you why.
Angeals a pain because he wants to play "correctly". he's not competative but heis a rulebook warrior. Cloud has banned the Player's handbook from the table for this very reason. Angeal complains about "house rules" and the "rule of fun" all the time, even while activly enjoing the game. He's a pain.
He usually plays a Paladine and his drive for adventure is always "to avenge/ make his father proud. he once pushed the boat out at Clouds behest and broke his oath, and it didn't go... Well. to put it lightly everyone at the table cried (esspecially Zack) and Angeal had to make a new character.
Genesis is predictable to the point of hilarity. always a Bard or a Warlock. Always a Tiefling. Always gender ambiguous. if the games not starting withthe party finding Gen drunk and bemoning exsistence in a tavern then are they really playing DnD? He will always be playing a College of Tragedy bard (Thank you Matthew Mercer.) He's never pushed the boat out once in all the time they've played and if he can squeeze a loveless Quote in where he can he's gunna do it.
Genesis is however the table flirt and the Horny player. he's rolling to seduce the dragon. Cloud has Vowed never to let them play Curse of Strahd... EVER.
Zack is never predictable in his Character build. In the beginning he went similar to Angeal except a human young fighter with dreams of being a hero, But now he likes to dabble with his classes sometimes and mess around in terms of race. Cloud likes Zacks approach to DnD cause it keeps him on his toes.
His Favorite build thus far is his Halfling Rough/Monk multiclass he based off of a little girl he met in Wutai (you know who.).
When Kunsels Available to play he plays as a College of Lore Bard. He knows everything and Cloud is pretty sure He's been spying on his notes between games.
They are all suprisingly big on Roleplay which is fine by cloud cause it makes his job more fun. He's made them cry multiple times with his storylines, and His NPC voices are unparalelled. concidering he's not expressive in his day to day, he comes alive as DM.
There has been some massive in jokes that make other people question if they are sane or not. things like all the boys mimicing Clouds voice yelling "DON'T FUCK THE DRAGON!" everytime they gointo monster dens. Or looking Angeal up and Down and saying "I don't have the hit points to clinb you like a tree," .
Genesis begs Cloud to make a LOVELESS based Campaign... Cloud doesn't want to admit he already has one, hes just afraid Gen will pick holes in it.
Zack is a bastard for casting Fireball when he doesn't have the hit points to survive his own spell. the one time he played a wizard he cast it, did 39 points of damage and only JUST survived by one singular hit point.
Kunsel has the magic touch where dice are concerned. He constantly rolls consistently high rolls.
Cloud is absoloutly sure Sephiroth uses loaded dice. but he can't prove it.
Angeal always seems to end up getting attacked by mimics. doesn'tmatter how many times it happens, he always has too much trust in everyday objects.

Hey There! I have a fic request! Balan (with his own magic) ends up in the Amazing Digital Circus!
Ooh! That would definitely be something! Here you go! It's so good to receive an ask from you after a long while.
🎵 Gangle and Zooble and Kinger too 🎵
🎵 Ragatha, Jax, and there's Pomni woo-hoo 🎵
🎵 Day after day after day we fly🎵
🎵 Past the moon and the sun and we don't know why🎵
Caine and the others were busy rehearsing the theme song for The Amazing Digital Circus. So far, everything was going nice and smoothly for the gang.
But while they were busy performing, they failed to notice a cloud of magic puffing. Standing on the stage was none other than Balan himself. His usual grin was still evident on his face.
"Aha—I knew that this trick would lead me here!" Balan said. "Now I wonder what other colorful worlds might be near…"
That said, his voice was what caused the performance to suddenly stop. All eyes were focused on Balan himself. "Caine, is this one of your NPCs or is this a new sucker?" A tall purple rabbit asked a floating AI with a humanoid body that had a large row of teeth and heterochromatic eyes. "Because if it's a new character, we're going to have to redo this whole theme song."
"I'm not doing that again," A mix-and-match toy said to Jax, her arms crossed while she looked unamused.
"Uh, who is this guy?" A small jester asked. From the sound of her voice, Balan knew that the jester was a female.
"My, my, it appears a new human has entered this realm!" Caine, the aformentioned AI, announced as he floated toward Balan.
"I am not a human, I must confess," Balan said. "Rather, an entirely different being that found his way into this mess."
"Wait, is it just me or is that tall man rhyming whenever he talks?" A ragdoll asked everyone.
"And if he's not a human, then what is he supposed to be?" The mix-and-match toy asked, uncrossing her arms.
"Does he also know how we can leave?" The jester asked, causing the rabbit to roll his eyes.
"Who might you be, newcomer?" Caine asked Balan.
Balan did a graceful bow in front of everyone. "Why, I am Balan, maestro of Wonderworld; a place where emotions play an important aspect of healing. As a maestro myself, I am able to determine all of the positive emotions that you may be feeling."
"You remember where you come from?" The jester named Pomni asked, shocked. Even the others were rather baffled. "What else do you remember? Family?"
Balan chuckled. "Of course I remember my family. Why would I forget about those that are close to me? I have a twin brother who I hold very dear. And two cousins; one playful and one that will fill you with fear."
"Fill us with fear?" A ribbon-like being with a comedy theater mask for a face eyed Balan with curiosity. "How scary is your cousin, to be exact?"
Balan's smile faded and was replaced with a frown. "It is best that you put that question to rest."
"I'm going to guess that your cousin is not a polite person, yes?" The ragdoll nervously laughed.
"Of course not, dollface," The purple rabbit said. "By the way, I wonder if his cousins would like pranks…" A mischievous grin formed on his face.
"Jax, don't you dare…" The mix-and-match toy warned Jax before turning to Balan. "Sorry about him. He likes pranks way too much."
"One of my two cousins enjoys pranks too," Balan revealed. "So this should be good news for you." He looked at Jax who was already brainstorming prank ideas.
"I hope your cousin's pranks aren't as dangerous as Jax's," The ribbon-like being stated, trying to approach Balan. But Jax decided to push her down to the ground, causing her comedy mask to fall off and break.
"Really, Jax?" The ragdoll glared at Jax. "Leave Gangle alone, will you?"
"Oh my, let me help you with your mask," Balan said to a crying Gangle. "Fixing it is a simple task." When he snapped his fingers, Gangle's comedy mask was suddenly good as new much to everyone's surprise.
"Impressive!" A king chess piece spoke. "How did he do this? And what else can he do?"
"More importantly, where can we find this Wonderworld?" Caine asked.
"Follow me—and you all shall see." Balan gave everyone a wink.

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟏
The late God of Heroes had built his fortress city near an oasis. When you first stepped foot in it, you weren't able to suppress the amazement the brilliance of Auruk conjured up inside you. It was more modern than you had initially thought, and you were surprised when Ushar revealed that the same god who built this city had introduced social hierarchies, specialised occupations, coercive political structures, writing, religion and literature, and monumental architecture to his people, which you noted were innovations characteristic of cities.
"The God of Heroes also created the laws of Auruk. He emphasised the importance of them by punishing the transgressors severely," Ushar said.
"He sounds like the incarnation of justice and wisdom," you remarked, "What was his name?"
"High King Enu. He also had a very loyal attendant called Elisha." Ushar then turned his head to you with a smile. "Now that I'm looking at you properly, you bear a strong resemblance to her. She was a beautiful woman, just like you."
You stared at him, wondering if this was a coincidence or not. You had an online friend called Enu in Camelot Chronicles, whose NPC you took the appearance of. The two of you met when he saved you from a group of player killers who were known for killing non-human characters; he was also the one who showed you the ropes of the game and he even helped you create Enki.
However, two years ago... He went missing without a trace. You weren't online when the server had crashed, temporarily locking the players in. It took five hours of maintenance for the server to be up and running again, and you didn't hear anything from him after that incident. In remembrance of your friendship, you had decided to take the form of Elisha and kept your appearance that way since then.
"High King Enu was our ruler when he was alive. Now that he had passed on, the Regency Council is the current governing body," Ushar added, "But with you here, Auruk will have a king again and Gilgamesh Palace will no longer feel empty!"
You could only give him a small smile in response. As Ushar led you up the steps to the palace to introduce you to the Regency Council, you passed by a young woman playing with a Rubik's cube.
"Rubik's Cube?" you exclaimed, making her drop said item in surprise. Before she had the chance to retrieve it, you picked it up from the ground and stared at the cube in bewilderment. Why does a toy from the modern world exist in Teyvat, especially during an ancient period?
"You know what it is too?" Ushar piped up, appearing next to you with twinkling eyes, "This is one of High King Enu's favourite toys. Solving one side is easy, but solving two sides is hard. However, he was able to overcome such an impossible challenge within four seconds, unlike us humans... Oh, he truly was the embodiment of otherworldly wisdom!" He then gave you a thumbs up that's accompanied with a wink. "I have no doubt that you can solve it too though!"
"Of course. My master has unparalleled intelligence, so it's a given that she's able to solve something as simple as a Rubik's Cube," Enki said vehemently.
You stared at Enki and Ushar blankly. Those delusional NPCs are glorifying you way too much, and you could only hope that the people of Auruk won't follow in their footsteps; you'd feel overwhelmed otherwise.
"Hey! Don't loiter in front of the palace!"
Everyone's attention quickly shifted to the owner of the new voice. A man with two-toned hair was seen approaching the group, the back of his hair bearing the colour of the lush green forest and the tips of his silver bangs dipped in the same green. His stern brown eyes regarded the four of you in annoyance, as if he was a father who had caught his children sneaking out of the house.
"General Kingu!" Ushar said, saluting him as the heels of his shoes clacked together. The young woman who was playing with the Rubik's Cube earlier mirrored his action whilst your eyes zeroed in on the long ears standing upright atop Kingu's head. Their shape and size in proportion to his head reminded you of a fennec fox's ears, and you had to resist the sudden urge to touch them.
Once Kingu was standing in front of you, he glared at the Rubik's Cube in your hand.
"Ereshkigal, you were playing with this toy again, weren't you?" he asked, eyes flickering over to her. The woman in question fidgeted but didn't answer him. "Stop fooling around during your shift and go guard the throne room with your brother."
"Yes sir," she said, turning on her heels to enter Gilgamesh Palace.
"So, who's this?" Kingu asked, finally giving you his attention. Before Ushar could introduce you to him as the new God of Heroes, you gave Kingu a polite bow, shocking Enki.
"I am (y/n). I was exiled to the desert not too long ago," you replied, shocking Ushar this time.
"Ah... So you're one of the God of Woods' followers. It's a good thing Ushar found you before Enkidu did. That god despises humans for some reason." Kingu let out a muted sigh. "Speaking of Enkidu, have you been keeping track of his activities in the desert, Ushar?"
"Yes sir! I witnessed Enkidu's death in the hands of an unidentified god!" Ushar said, making the other man's eyes widen.
"A new god? We've already got our hands full with Gugalanna... Just our luck," Kingu muttered, ruffling his bangs in frustration, "If only we have a way of powering the cannons High King Enu had built to defend this city-"
"Cannons?" you echoed, interrupting him mid-sentence.
"Yes. The cannons are powered by a certain type of magic that only our late king wielded, and they fire the weapons he had collected, created and reforged throughout his reign. Anyway Ushar, you better report that to the Regency Council. They've been losing their minds over our counterattack to Enkidu's future invasions."
Kingu's reaction to being told your true identity was priceless, and it was worth lying to him when he had asked you who you were. As a member of the Regency Council, he attended the meeting when Ushar had gone to make his report about Enkidu, only to be shocked into silence by your introduction as the new God of Heroes. No wonder it felt as if your aura was similar to Enu's! Before the Sand Priestess, Semiramis could brief you on Auruk's state of affairs, Kingu had dropped himself on his knees in front of you with his head bowed low.
"Please forgive me for my ignorance, God of Heroes! I failed to realise who you are on our first meeting. Such transgression should not go unpunished!" he exclaimed, eyes squeezed shut.
"At ease," you said, subconsciously running a hand over his soft ear, "I won't punish you for something as trivial as that. So stand up."
He stiffened at your gesture. "Y-yes..."
As soon as Kingu had calmed down, Semiramis continued from where she was interrupted and explained the situation to you.
Auruk is a nation that was built by the previous God of Heroes, Enu. When he descended to Teyvat many years ago, he saved a group of desertfolk from Enkidu, the god that was prophesised to bring an end to humanity in the Tablet of Destinies. He then brought the desertfolk to a large oasis and summoned an entire fortress using a type of magic that remains unknown to this day (you noted that it's very similar to the high-tier spell the Enu you knew often used when going on long expeditions with you). A city was eventually built around that fortress, giving rise to the protective walls of Auruk and the dingir cannons. Some time after the Archon War began abruptly, Enu was slain by Enkidu when he tried to protect his people from the ravages of war and since then, Enkidu and Enu's long-time rival, Gugalanna have launched several attacks upon Auruk and Elisha tragically lost her life during one of Gugalanna's invasions. The fortress city was only able to make it this far without a god's protection thanks to the Eleven Generals of Tiamat and their Overseer.
When the meeting ended, Kingu was tasked with escorting you and Enki to Enu's chamber, and he then left you to your own devices to help the members of Regency Council prepare for the ceremony that will formally introduce you as Auruk's new god. You decided to look around the room in the meantime as Enki stood guard outside, and came across a large bookshelf that housed many books. You began to flip through the books you've randomly chosen to pass the time, and this activity continued until you found a journal that was written in English.
Your eyes widened.
The owner of this journal was Enu.
Your Enu.
Having studied architecture and social science, he built human civilisation from scratch in Sumeru's desert. He used and derived from the knowledge he had of the modern world to create Auruk for the desertfolk he had saved from Enkidu. With Elisha's help, he trained the Eleven Generals of Tiamat and their Overseer for the purpose of protecting his country from the divine beings in case he disappeared.
His last journal entry was a request for the next player to be transported to Teyvat to look after Auruk in his place. You didn't know how he knew that somebody from his world would eventually land in Teyvat, and assumed that it was simply his desperate, wishful thinking.
As you smiled, you raised your blurry gaze to the ceiling and chuckled.
"Enu... It really was you."
When night fell, you went outside for a stroll with Enki escorting you. You then climbed to the top of the wall and gazed at the seemingly perpetual Sumerian desert whilst absent-mindedly fiddling with Ereshkigal's Rubik's Cube. Enki cast his curious eyes at you when he heard you sigh quietly.
"Enki, do you think I can be a good king for the people my friend had saved?" you asked. You initially accepted Ushar's request for you to be the new God of Heroes for your own gain and survival, but after discovering that this was the country Enu had built, you wanted to protect Auruk to honour his wish.
"In your life, only your decisions are the correct answer," he said, "But are you sure you want to be king? Being 'king' means being a 'monster'."
You stared at the sky in deep thought. If this was a game, you would have no problems saying "yes" - but it wasn't. It's a new world that has become your reality, so every step you take must have some consideration behind it.
"If living this new life as a monster will bring smiles to people's faces, then perhaps it's worth it. They are part of the country Enu had created, and he was my dear friend." You lowered your gaze to your feet as your emotions drowned in the memories of your time with him. "I want power. Power to protect those who are more precious to me than my own life. I wish to become a king with such power."
Stepping forward, Enki gently took one of your hands in his, making you look at him. "A king cannot exercise their power as they wish. The throne in which they sit on is for an immoral beast, one that feasts on flesh and blood. To protect that throne, they must sacrifice all they have, even their own heart. That is their cruel destiny. You may have to stain your hands with blood over and over again. Will you still do it?"
You nodded slowly, your eyes shining with your new resolve which made him smile. He then knelt before you and pressed the back of your hand against his forehead.
"Then engrave this moment into your heart," he vehemently said, "and I promise you that from now on, come what may, I will remain by your side."

Could you, instead of Bodyguard Sokkla AU, write Azula being famous, as she should, and Sokka being a huge overly smitten fanboy who gets to meet her irl by accident through Zuko? Zuko would obviously hide that he's related to someone famous to not attract attention on himself cause he can be somewhat socially awkward sometimes but what happens when his sister calls him one day while he's playing video games with his friends and without thinking too much he answers the phone and puts her on speaker so that his hand will be free to hold the controller and Sokka recognizes her voice?
This prompt has been sitting in my askbox for ages. Idk if you’re even still here xD but here it is. A quick little thing while I work on fandom events.
Katara thinks that it is embarrassing that he has so many posters of the girl. That one of them is even autographed. That he has a closet full of concert T-shirts and fanmade ones alike. That he has every single CD that Azula has ever appeared on. 
She doesn’t quite understand idol culture and frankly he finds himself rather embarrassed by it too. 
He would never let Jet or Zuko see all of this. Toph has already given him a hard time for being, as she so delicately put it, a total fanboy dweeb. But he certainly isn’t the worst out there. He can pridefully say that he doesn’t own a body pillow.
But he talks about her all the time. He’d like to meet her more than anything. He wonders if she is just as pretty in person. Prettier perhaps? She has such a nice smile and her voice is…
It’s divine. He has never heard anything like it; gentle and powerful all at once. 
It is a volcanic eruption and a quiet sunset breeze all at once. 
Sokka sighs, he almost puts one of the CD’s in the radio but he ultimately decides that doing so might ruin tonight’s livestream; pop music doesn’t exactly scream ‘epic fantasy-action background music’. Unless of course he and his gaming group are bold enough. He can’t imagine that they would be so brave. Not when Toph takes this whole livestreaming thing so seriously. 
Sokka puts on his headset and joins Zuko in the server. “Hey, Sokka.” The boy greets.
“How’s it going, buddy?”
Zuko exhales deeply. “I’m expecting a phone call tonight so we decided to postpone the livestream. Also, Toph can’t make it tonight, she’s got a headcold or something. So it’ll just be you, Jet, and I tonight.” 
“I think that we could use a stress free night of just gaming for the sake of gaming.” Just like in the old days, before they decided to start gaming for some extra cash. Not that Toph needs any. 
“What game are we playing tonight, boys?” Jet’s face appears on the screen. 
“Well Toph wanted to play ‘Night of Claw and Fire’. But I thought that we could play that one with the race cars that we used to love.” Zuko replies.
“Are we going to play the one with the shitty graphics? Or the new one.”
“Shitty graphics.” Sokka and Zuko say at once. Nothing like some classic, old school, boxy graphics. It has been so long since he has had a chance to glitch his character into oblivion. 
.oOo.
He knows that the game is all in good fun but Sokka can’t help but be at least a little frustrated at his losing streak. He hasn’t even been able to beat any of the NPC racers. They have been lapping him for the better part of the night while Zuko and Jet cackle. 
He wishes that Toph were here. 
Toph usually protects him from getting tag teamed. 
He puffs out another sigh and tightens his grip on his controller. He stares at its sleek, metallic navy blue finish. “Come on” he mumbles to the thing, “just give me one win.” 
He revs his virtual engine. 
3…
2…
1…
Zuko’s phone rings and the game pauses just as Sokka’s character blasts off. “Oh come on, bro!” Sokka shouts. 
Zuko rolls his eyes and unpauses the game. Sokka’s race car slams directly into the barricade and Jet cackles as Zuko hits the speaker button. “Hello?” 
“Hello, Zuzu.” 
Jet too slams his virtual car into the barricade and snorts. “Zuzu?” 
Zuko’s face flushes. “I shouldn’t have put you on speaker.”
“You have me on speaker?”
“I’m in the middle of gaming!” He declares. “I’m in first place by the way.” 
“There’s a first time for everything.” The girl chuckles. 
And that is when Sokka’s heart skips. He knows that laugh. He has always found it to be so charming. “Zuko…” he swallows. “Is that…?”
“My sister? Yeah.” Zuko fills in.
“Azula is your sister!? And you didn’t tell me?”
“My sister isn’t…”
“Yes I am.” Azula cuts in. “I’m exactly who you think I am.”
And Zuko is blushing again. Sokka can’t begin to fathom why. Not until he grumbles a, “I’ve been trying to be lowkey about this. I don’t want attention.” 
“I do.” Azula declares. 
“Why do you do this to me? And what are you actually calling for?”
“Well, mother said to tell you that she found some of your old baby pictures. Like the one where you…” 
“Azula!” He shouts, his face now a vivid scarlet.”
“The one where you decided to use your underwear as a hat.”
“Dude, you used your underpants as a hat?” Jet chuckles. 
“No! She’s just trying to make me sound like a dweeb.”
“It’s working.” Jet cackles. 
To Zuko’s credit he is still in first place. “Alright, Azula, we’ll talk later tonight.” His finger hovers over the end call button.
“No!” She and Sokka say at once. 
“I want to talk to your sister!” Sokka requests. “You know how much I love her…music!” Oh, he’s such an idiot–just bursting out declarations of love. “I love her music.” He repeats. 
“It’s alright, you can confess your love.” Azula drawls. “Most people do.”
Zuko groans. “She likes attention. Stop giving her attention.” 
But it is much too late for that. He has already plunged right into a very stuttering, “c-can we hang o-out sometime. I mean if you want to. I wouldn’t force you to do that because I’m…I’m not one of those weirdos but I thought that it could be nice maybe…”
“I suppose that we can.” Azula pauses. He can hear in her voice that her face has lit up. “Oh! I can show you Zuzu’s baby photos! There’s this one where he’s trying to eat his own foot.”
“Alright that’s it! Conversation over!” Zuko strikes ‘end call’. 
And with the strike of a button his hopes and dreams deflate. But hours later, with the sounds of video game victory music echoing in his ears, he gets a text. It better not be Zuko because he is ready to give the boy an earful…over text.
He looks at the screen. ‘Tomorrow. 5:00. Jasmine Dragon.’ The phone dings again and a picture of a very chubby baby Zuko stares up at him, peeking out from under a pair of underwear.
Sokka grins. ‘How did you get my number?’ He texts back.
‘That’s for me to know and you to wonder about.’ She adds a little wink. 
‘Okay, tomorrow at 5.’ He clutches his phone to his chest. He is actually going to meet his idol in person. He just hopes that she will like him as much as he likes her. Maybe he should take some of the posters down so that he doesn’t seem creepy…
He takes a deep breath. They’re just meeting at the Jasmine Dragon. And, realistically, Zuko will probably be tagging along. He will cross that bridge when he comes to it. Until then he will relish in that he is actually going to meet his idol face to face!

top 5 npcs! :3
Starting with the hardest one right off the bat haha
Hilda Had to think about this one for so long since there were so many options (twins, multiple elf men, certain bnnnuy..) but I decided to go with Hilda because she's the first "best girl" in the game for me. I don't even have proper propaganda on why I like her, just that I saw her during HW and immediately went heart eyes at her. ^^' Poor girl doesn't get enough love, being mostly sidelined by the story, but every time she appears (as art on dash or in a quest) my day is a little better.
Emet-Selch I kinda debated on putting him as 3rd but eh, he'll get to be 4th. I originally did not care for the rat man too much, which in hindsight is hilarious - when have I not liked an overly dramatic antagonist whose so tired and done™ but still keeps doing things like he's on a theatre stage at all times? Emotional hurt (both from him and us) was a delicious bonus.
Zenos People are really divided on him, but I ended up liking him a lot. Strong enough to beat WoL twice? Like thrice the size of my min height catboy? Only has eyes for WoL and keeps spouting poetic (and weirdly romantic) lines about how much he wants you two to fight? Good stuff.
G'raha Tia Beloved catted boy... Goofy nerd who means well and is just happy to help. His bratty attitude was fun, but it was the gap moe Exarch who eventually sold his character to me. Cool and mysterious leader first, only to clearly blush under his hood the second he gets to talk to you? Cuuuute~ Also the whole "if fate takes you away I'll figure out how to change it" thing, I'm very weak to those.
Hythlodaeus I actually really liked him back on ShB already. Somehow his ween woon voice and gentle demeanor just clicked right away. My new old friend.. Then they did the whole face reveal and he has lived rent free in my head since then. And that talk about Azem and Emet? He deserves to spend eternity happy with them.
(edit: hey guess what tumblr randomly reversed the numbers! hilda is supposed to be 5 and hyth 1, but apparently numbered list in reverse is too much for our beloved hellsite)

6.2 MSQ ramblings by your local Golbez fan
Partner and I finished the entire thing in one sitting last night. Here's my thoughts now that I'm more awake, in vaguely chronological order...
(Tl;dr more FFIV callbacks than you can shake a spoony bard at!)
Varsahn getting a new adult mammet body is a brilliant way to reference Rydia's return as an adult without having to actually use a child character for the role or doing some kind of timey bullshit.
Troia is brilliant. I was losing my mind over the music the entire time...
Speaking of Troia, let's get this out of the way because I've been obnoxious about it on Twitter, Discord, and in-game: HI MY IRL NAME IS BEATRICE. It's me. I feel so seen as a big FFIV fan. Thank you whichever dev did this.
of course, the choice of name isn't really because of random FFIV fans like me. Beatrice is obviously an extension of the Dante's Inferno theme that begins with the Archfiends.
Also, the creepy statues jumpscared me!
Beatrice's mechanics are a nice mixup of the gaze mechanic, otherwise nothing too new here.
So many empty rooms breaking up pulls. Why???
Scarmiglione...I was too distracted by his voice. He sounds like Fandaniel. Maybe if it was just a slight raspier it would've worked better for me.
that said, I adore how hectic his fight is, even though I was constantly expecting the "back attack" during the dungeon. Of course, the back attack happens later instead.
Using Troia as a somewhat explorable zone of course makes the empty rooms make more sense. This part is a lot of back and forth and even with mounts it's kind of tedious, but all the voidsent lore is worth it.
The voidsent talks remind me of Megaten demons by the way. Voidsent Summoning Program when?
That feeling of going back through the dungeon and talking to previously hostile NPCs—it reminds me a lot of old school RPGs! It's definitely something that's been a little missing from XIV imo.
Zero. I love her. I love that she operates on a different morality and value system from the usual sort of person the (ex-)Scions deal with, and she isn't going to give that up just because we've been nice to her. Of course, there is some compromising on her part, but she's very solidly set in the ways of the Void.
also: she's a tease for Zeromus. Now, I don't think she will be Zeromus, or that he will necessarily even appear, but if not foreshadowing, her name is the devs teasing those "in the know".
Zero's Domain! It was here I said out loud "wow, that's quality patch" because adding in another location after the dungeon feels big. It's appropriate for the Thirteenth and I hope going forward we'll be able to come back freely and use it as a base of operations.
AND THE MUSIC ITS THE FFIV OVERWORLD THEME I started tearing up a little.
Sad gay Voidsent relationship lore :(
Speaking with the Voidsent around Zero's Domain leads to some fun dialogue btw, my favorite is the Mindflayer kinkshaming a summoner that tied his vessel up.
ok. Barbariccia. I was unfortunately spoiled by crafting recipes (AGAIN) that she would be the trial and not Cagnazzo. I really like the way she's written, and once she appears in person, there's not much of the fanservice you might expect. Instead she has some power poses. Imo that's kinda sexier.
Her design—and Milon's—visually are...I guess pretty much what I should have expected of XIV's style of monster/character design and detail.
Now, as soon as Barb said she was next, I told my partner "I hope Estinien gets some spicy dialogue with her." Ok small tangent time. I personally think Zephirin was the Kain analogue in Heavensward in terms of his backstory and development, but hey I'm not going to deny that Estinien is the one with the "Dragoon who 'betrayed' you" job arc.
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW ESTINIEN GETS THE SPICY DIALOGUE. And not just any spicy dialogue, he gets to fucking quote Kain Highwind verbatim. Good job, Estinien. "Ride the wind" indeed.
AND THE TRIAL THOUGH. Absolutely bonkers. I only died once because Phys Ranged Movement Privilege but holy shit the mechanics spam. I love the intensity. I was expecting Calofisteri mechanics but nope it's just insanity instead.
Her phase change is a pretty cool way to handle the "wrapped in hair" aspect of her and translating that into something you can still fight.
They did a good job not making her Calofisteri 2.0 or Garuda 3.0 basically.
I think everyone basically assumes Azdaja will be Shadow Dragon, and I'm very interested in how that's going.
So IMO the segments after returning to the Source drag on a fair bit and just keeps going. But this was also bc it was 1 AM for me.
Golbez!! GOLBEZ.
His voice. I like it. It's really hard to top Peter Beckman's iconic performance for Golbez, but his VA here does a good job with this take of the character.
AND WHAT IS YOUR BACKSTORY. GIVE ME THE GOLBEZ LORE. What is his ambition???
It is very refreshing to see Golbez back in his classic villain role though! And he brings a more militant theme too—we're dealing with his minions and their minions, not with him directly like with most of the other antagonists.
Memoria lore will be relevant for Golbez right? INB4 he's Zero's brother hahaha...wait I like this
I have to admit, this is the first patch in a while I've been honest to god this excited and manic about the MSQ. I was so afraid of the FFIV handling going poorly, but they did a great job in keeping it fresh.
Now I'm going to Island Sanctuary.
...Void Sanctuary when?

Okay, I know the Empires crew has said that season 2 will be completely different characters, but they've also been talking about playing it like a DnD game and "previous player characters as next campaign NPCs" is a trope that SLAPS so here's how I imagine that would play out
fWhip: Plays the role of your village's token Weird Recluse Guy. He's a retired inventor with damaged wings who lives on the edge of town, and the players probably first hear about him from people telling wildly embellished stories in a tavern. They have to go to him for information after the inciting plot incident, and he's the one who sends them on their first quest.
Gem: Professor at the magic school fWhip sends the players to! It's a different school than the one she used to teach at, and maybe she doesn't run this one, but I just think she'd make an excellent classic Mildly Exasperated Expert for the PCs to grill when they need to know something (she'd also probably be the Exposition NPC since I can't see fWhip being super helpful in that area lol)
Jimmy: One of those "bosses" that you don't actually have to fight, he's just a test of the players' social skills. He's a disgraced cod king that the players encounter when the road ahead of them is flooded, they have to convince him that he's still worthy so he'll unblock the river and let them though
Lizzie: A (moderately) helpful companion the players pick up during the first arc that turns out to be the inciting factor for a quest later on. She ends up getting her memory back and sending them to fetch something from the ruins of the Ocean Empire.
Joel: Literally just Boblin the Goblin. A character the DM blanked completely on a name for and accidentally gave him the name of a previous PC so woops, guess that random tavern guy is the King of Mesalia on vacation now, this is fine we can work with this - (the players of course get unreasonably attached to him so he ends up being recurring even though he never really does much)
Katherine: A reference that the current party never actually talks to but is thrown in for the players' benefit. They walk by a lady loudly sniffing flowers in a field and none of the characters say anything but the players all Know <3
Pearl: Attained godhood through her death and is now the goddess of one of the new characters. She isn't seen in person much but her spirit can be felt through the new player's spells, and she occasionally shows up in a dream sequence when they really need some redirection
Sausage: the Unnervingly Recurring NPC. He's everywhere. Just a long string of random shop owners and guards and barkeeps who have suspiciously similar voices and descriptions but just different enough that there's no way to prove that it's him. He shows up at a lot of different points, but he's most commonly spotted hanging around the edges of the beginnings and endings of a quest. (He was 100% that guy from the very beginning who was telling the Wildly Embellished fWhip Story) Because hey, if you were a top level character with time and reality warping powers, what else would you do but just find where the action is and Be Places?

@aureateart​ ok. My favourite parts of twilight princess  (and some other random thoughts about TP sprinkled in there) taken from my monster TP word vomit google doc :
Link lmao
Ok but for real, I like this incarnation of Link :)
I love Ordon (it just seems like such a chill and cozy village)
ALSO love how easy it is to interpret Link as being a sort of older brother figure to the Ordon kiddos. It’s just,, super cute? AND GHHH nice nice good thanks nintendo for giving me characters to care about/characters that I can imagine Link caring about
He didn’t sign up for any of this (tbh, none of the Links really signed up for this jshdjsd). But I mean like, dude was just going to take a trip to castle town, drop a gift off for the royal family, and come back. But haHA oopsies he did get to castle town eventually but definitely not the way he expected hsjdhsd
He’s just a little dude?
AND FUCK. HE REALLY HAD NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE OF ORDON UNTIL ALL OF THAT
everything is new for the player AND Link
Midna
She’s cool :)
she really just
*teleports into your jail cell* hello whore.
I am no master at writing but AYYYY she do got a character arc!!!
She was actually pretty helpful sometimes, I ALWAYS checked in with her before turning to a game guide
Other NPCs
NICE
Love all of the TP character designs (ASHEI’S ARMOUR??? AOWOAOAOOAO)
Saving Zelda and all of Hyrule was important yea but thinking back maybe it was more like, the Ordonians and the kids were what was pushing Link to keep on going
I like the Resistance members :) Very video gamey of them to have one NPC assigned to each dungeon but hey!!! Kinda cool getting to see a little glimpse of each of em
Idk, it’s just fun to imagine Link popping into Telma’s bar after each dungeon and taking a little rest :) (or to celebrate? maybe just chat, idk, give this man some downtime!!)
Honestly it was just kind of nice that Link wasn’t entirely alone. I mean, I know Midna was there the whole time, but I am always for giving Link a big group of friends (see my love for hyrule warriors, age of calamity, and LU LMAO)
Hero’s shade, very very cool, kinda sad he died with regrets but HEY. He got to pass on his knowledge eventually
AND the connection to OoT?? AND assumed to be related by blood too????? GOOD SHIT
Ilia, I REALLY really wanted to like her (er, it’s not like I dislike her, she’s just,,, kinda there for me).
It definitely seems like Nintendo was pushing to make her the romantic interest, but GHHHHH they really threw that out of the window for me by having her lose her memories
I saw a text post a while ago that said it would have been interesting if Ilia was Link’s sister instead and YES!! That would have been cool too :0
Wish we got to know Zelda a little more
I feel like we barely know anything about her
Idk man, like I said earlier, I never really had any sort of drive to save Zelda during my playthroughs
She obviously knows Midna, so maybe if they gave us just a little bit more of that relationship I’d be more interested in her?
TP WORLD BUILDINGGGG
Botw has good world building too, but each race felt kinda,,, isolated? I absolutely love the different architecture and vibe each town has (and all the the weapons too) but ghhh yea everyone felt so separated. As far as I can remember, we don’t see tooo much of the races interacting with each other? Now that I’m typing that out maybe that’s to be expected because of the calamity but KLSJDKJFD ANYWAYS THIS IS ABOUT TP
The world feels nice and alive, love how populated everything is
Castle town I like castle town a lot, it feels dense and busy and I really like how you can’t talk to every NPC you see
Very cool very fun that we got to see the Gorons hanging out in multiple spots
kinda wish we got to see the Zoras a little more (I guess they are a bit limited since they need water but GHHHH the tp zoras are so prebby,,)
BUT HEY, I do remember seeing a zora or two hanging out in the hot springs around death mountain after beating the lakebed temple (I think, might have been a different dungeon) 
but aaaa would have been nice to see them in at least a couple of other places. I think it would have really added to the “congrats Link!! You’re restoring peace to Hyrule” feeling you get from seeing the Gorons hanging out in Kakariko and Castle Town
ORDON
Love how chill it is and how it’s kind of separate from Hyrule proper
They really do seem to be doing their own thing apart from the rest of Hyrule
Just kinda adds onto the “he’s just a regular dude minding his own business” kind of vibes I get from TP Link
Also I like Ordona :)
THE LIGHT SPIRITS,,
Love their design
And love how they’re not exactly like a pure white?
Different spirit representing each aspect of the triforce my beloved
But yes hi I think Ordona is very cool
Who are you, how did you get here, which goddess do you represent? Do you even represent one of the three golden goddesses? Do the Ordonians know about you? Have any of them ever SEEN you??? Do they worship you? Does anybody even know about the existence of the light spirits?? FUCK so many questions but ghhh I like how they broke the status quo a bit by throwing in a fourth spirit :)
I feel like this one is kinda weird but I like that voice sample they used in the light spirit music. It’s spooky and pretty at the same time :)  
cutscenes mmmmm
Ok ok, the spooky lanayru cutscene is very good
BUT THE “Link, Chosen Hero! Lend us the last of your power!” CUTSCENE MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM LOVE IT SO MUCH
IT just
Idk man
It just hit different
I like the music
And seeing the light spirits swimming around in the light juice water whatever it is
Summoning the light arrows?
AND HHHHH “Lend us the last of your power!” THIS IS IT. This is the final battle.
Seeing Zelda bow down, and then Link putting his hand out 👌👌👌
Link: ok bud, let’s do this together :)
Connection to OoT (did I already mention this? Maybe., Whatever)
Very cool nintendo :)
I love seeing connections between all the diff zelda games.
Because like, on one hand, they’re all separate from each other because of yknow, individual hero stuff. BUT ALSO, they’re all connected because of the reincarnation stuff
Grrrr walking through the sacred grove and going “The Hero of Time walked around here a long time ago” FUCK THATS SO COOL
Is the Hero’s Shade watching me? What does he think of me? DIsappointed? Proud? The Hero of Time went through HELL so this timeline didn’t have to deal with any of the shit Ganon was gonna pull with the triforce, better not fuck this UP Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Midlink is cute
Kinda hurts that she smashed the mirror but that was probably so Nintendo didn’t have to worry about people going “but what about the twili??????” for any of the other games LMAO
BUT ALSO LIKE SKJDKLJFJ There are some pretty massive plot holes in TP anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whatever it’s fine we’ll just use this for angst because GOD do y’all like angst
So is Shadlink
Honestly don’t know where this ship came from but it’s cute so whatever
THE MUSIC??
Love Midna’s theme and how they referenced the dark world theme from ALttP (I remember trying to learn the dark world theme on the piano and doing the Leonardo DiCaprio point meme at the little jingle I recognized from Midna’s theme)
Hyrule field theme SLAPS.
Apparently references a couple of the other over-world themes from the previous zelda games (I got this from 8-bit Music theory’s video on the over-world zelda themes, he talks about TP at around 11:40 but def recommend watching the whole video if you’re into music analysis stuff)
So there’s this bit of the Hyrule Field theme, I don’t know the official name for it but I remember seeing somewhere it being called the “at an advantage theme” since yeah, you hear it during the boss music whenever you expose their weak points. FUCKINGGG LOVE THAT. Didn’t notice it during my first playthrough, but hearing it during my second was like a little easter egg for my ears every time :)
Midna’s lament is very pretty (and fun to play on the piano)
COURAGE THEME.
I didn’t care for it too much when I started playing the game but hearing it in ZREO’s arrangement of the Hyrule Field theme literally makes me turn into a puddle of emotions. Also hearing it around and of the Ordon kids (I think it plays after Link saves Colin) AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Orchestra piece #1 and #2 HOLY SHIT???????????????? 
Literally, the first time I listened to those I just,,,, plugged in my headphones, volume 100, layed on the floor/against my desk and silently vibed. I don’t know what the hell it is, but those two just fit so well with TP?? I still avoid listening to them nowadays cause if I DO I definitely will get overwhelmed with the “god I love this game so FUCKING MUCH” kind of feels.
Wolf link sucks at singing
the first time I heard him howling Zelda’s Lullaby I lost my shit because LKSJLDKSGLKJFSKG god that was.,, Bad. Anyways, hearing him howl some of the songs from OoT was cute :)
TP STAFF ROLL??? 
VERY GOOD. IT’s like 10 minutes long and GOD do I love every single second of it. It doesn’t have the same energy as the skyward sword staff roll or the orchestra pieces but GOD does it hit good??
Nice and calm after that big exciting adventure. Maybe it would have been more fun or emotional to have a higher energy piece but it was really nice getting to sit back and watch the camera fly around Hyrule. Seeing like, the Gorons and the Zoras having a good time, the kids returning to Ordon? GOOD SHIT.
and AAAAA that end, when you hear the main Zelda theme and see Link riding off out of Faron woods on Epona… good shit. It gets you thinking, where the hell is he going? What is he doing? Off ot do more adventuring? Going to help out the resistance or something? Going to help Zelda? Or maybe he’s trying to figure out a way to restore the mirror of twilight? Whoooo knows.
hhHHHHhhh it’s just that final reminder that YES!!! YOU JUST PLAYED A ZELDA GAME. JUST ANOTHER STORY APART OF THE WHOLE EPIC OF THE ZELDA SERIES AS A WHOLE
I also want to acknowledge the instrument/samples they used for all the twili stuff.
They’re all just so unique and contrast SO well with the rest of the TP OST. LIKE FUCK!! Anytime I hear the screech from the Twilit Kargarok? Sends a shiver down my spine. I associate those sounds SO strongly with the twili realm. (Like, the same way you associate the BSHEWW VVWWMMM sounds with light sabers)
I love it so god damn much
literally any time there’s a certain sound or motif associated with something I lose my shit
Sacred grove sacred grove sacred gro-
lovely lovely lovely so much fun playing that on the piano. AND again, I did the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme when I heard the theme from the lost woods come in GHHHHHHHH
shoutout to TP Faron Woods for helping me study and get through all of my schoolwork
BLEGUUHHH can you tell that I really love music?
and also yea I guess TP is kinda cool too :\
IF YOU READ ALL OF THAT THANKS I GUESS

When the Mystic Messenger gang play Genshin Impact…
Characters: Zen, Yoosung, Jaehee, 707, Unknown, V, Rika
Warnings: SFW. No explicit spoilers for either Genshin Impact OR Mystic Messenger. All Mysmes characters are written in a Casual Story setting. No Deep Story/ Another Story characterisations, other than some references In V/Rika’s HCs!
Genre: Bulleted Headcanons.
ZEN
Immediate Kaeya main. He sees him in the prologue, simps for him, fights with him, dies with him. 
He doesn’t even play the game properly. He only plays for Kaeya.
Loads it up in the morning going “Hey handsome.” Certified Kaeya Kinnie.
Bonus: His fans were the ones who pestered him into playing, so a week later when he posts a Kaeya cosplay on twitter? Everyone goes WILD.
Yoosung
Horrible Gacha luck but he’s addicted. What can I say? In terms of money…there is no money. Officially broke, slave to wishing </3. Respectable following on twitch, but gets so much SHIT from his viewers bc he is so funny to tease LOL.
“Guys stop!! I’m not gonna get c4- Keqing stop saying her name in chat!!! I need Kazuha!!”
Has like half of the 5 stars available bc he keeps losing 50/50s LOL. Certified anemo simp. Razor main forever!! Also likes Bennett. A lot </3. definitely a bennett kinnie.
But when Kazuha came out? Oh my god. He was in LOVE. Here’s a character he truly kins. Just loves Kazuha’s chill energy. (crying wishes Kazuha was real because he wants to be his best friend)
Jaehee
Goldfish, casual spender. Her main source of stress relief after a long day of work. She puts on a Zen musical and vibes as she casually 36 stars abyss with her level 90 Ganyu and Jean.
Anonymous in Yoosung’s streams but out of responsibility she comes on to give him a few tips on building characters and stuff. Unspoken legend in Superman Yoosung’s streams- so good at making team comps that work.
Doesn’t play too much- maybe like 1 hour a day and sometimes skips dailies because of work T_T.
Favourite characters are Jean Ganyu and Chongyun! She admires how hard working they are, and seeing them in her party never fails to brighten her day </3.
Jumin
Crying is he even playing the same game as the rest of us? This isn’t even Genshin anymore straight up- this is the sims.
His AR 25 account is so confusing because somehow he barely did any of the main storyline quests, but here he is in Inazuma casually collecting wood for new furnishings??
100% Zhongli main. Whaled for his c6 but doesn’t know what it does. All he knows is that rock from sky go boom boom and destroy enemies.
Eula and Ningguang appreciator! Uses them to lecture Yoosung and how they rose to power despite their backgrounds.
But at the end of the day, he’s only here for the teapot. And say what you will but…that shit AESTHETIC.
707 
Basically Tony to. Uploads random videos of his solo amber and solo barbara 36 starring Abyss.
Yoosung shit talks him on stream because of how lucky seven is with his pulls, but still only uses amber and Barbara.
Has all the achievements, maxxed EVERYTHING.
Probably a bit soft for Childe though. Projects onto him a lot. Cried in the Teucer quest. Wants Childe to be happy so gets a Zhongli for him (even though he doesn’t use Zhongli). Builds a house for them <3.
Though his main DPS’s are Barb and Amber, his go to supports are Xingqiu and Childe (gets hate comments for using Childe as a support LOL).
Absolutely adores Xingqiu for being a prim and proper young man on the outside, but an absolute MENACE on the inside. Enjoys the Xingyun dynamic he and Jaehee share </3
Unknown
Manical screaming. Meta player. 5 million damage Hu Tao. Hates 4 star DPS’s with a burning passion (especially Amber ♡).
Angry keyboard sounds. Sticks to conventional teams and artifacts. Maybe a streamer using voice distorter/vtuber model LOL. Rants about new players playing the game wrong by crafting Whiteblind for Razor.
Angry Xiao main. Has him c6 with an r5 primod spear. Maxxed talents. SPAMS the poor guy’s burst for every little thing. Small hillichurl? Well it’s time for evIL coNquERiNg.
Scary villain laughter as he plunges through Teyvat one shotting everything. Doesn’t believe in healers bc they’re ‘for the weak’ so he dies a lot. But never shows it on camera.
V
But then there Albedo was. In the first 10 pull. And V has never felt such a strong connection to a fictional character ever before.
ALBEDO.
Started because Seven forcefully installed it on his phone during the Albedo banner in december. Clicked wish randomly and was like “oh boy what does this do” blind hours.
Very nice character owner🥺. Reads all the lore, plays every single character he attains because he doesn’t want them to 'be lonely’. However, Albedo never leaves his number one spot. And then klee in number two because V will do ANYTHING to ensure Albedo’s happiness. But he’ll laugh shyly if anyone asks him about it.
Visits dragonspine and just leaves Albedo AFK in his lab to enjoy the music. Smiles when Albedo sketches during his idle, prompts him to get out a sketch book as well.
Collects flowers, lets anyone into his world. Super wholesome🥺.
Rika
Has never felt more at home in Inazuma. Mondstad was overly cheerful and stifling to her; Liyue overly pragmatic.
Empathises with every Liyue NPC. Loves to enjoy the music and walk around, trying to help anyone and everyone.
Feels a very close connection to Baal</3. Preparing to roll for her. Currently an Ayaka main (appreciates Ayaka very much. Was a little teary when she learned that her parents died).
One side of her kins baal and the other kins Ayaka. Kazuha is her sub DPS, she enjoys bringing him along everywhere.
Understands the feeling of being banished from a place. Kazuha reminds Rika of a little brother she wants to protect, and someone she had to leave behind </3.

Hey so this thought has been on my mind for like ages and I think that you'd be able to write a headcanon about it in a wonderful way, so I'm presenting this idea to you hehe ( I love ur blog so so so much btw!)
So let's say that whatever miracles of seven happened, that Yuu overblots. Being constantly pushed around by other students by being magicless, solving the idiot trio's problems, trying to survive overblots and dealing with Crowley's neglectful ass cheeks sure is not easy. With all the piled and bottled up negative emotions, Yuu like the previous boys, overblots. Yuu wasn't that hard to defeat cuz you know, they're magicless, but the twst boys did struggle and Yuu's quite the challenge too. So what if, after Yuu's overblot, they had a full on mental breakdown. Not like crying mental breakdown, they're full on SCREAMING, their voice are cracking too, and very painful to hear. They started to unconsciously harm themselves so they have to be tied down to prevent to hurt themselves further. How would the dormleaders react to that?
(Sorry for my English and if I ever break a rule, it's OK if you decide to not do this too. Btw I got this idea when I watch ATLA aka Aang the last airbender, for reference of the breakdown of Yuu just search "Azula's breakdown" that practically how their breakdown looked like :D)
I cant write headcanons because you basically wrote everything. I will just make comments and additions to this. first I mention the background, secondly Azula’s breakdown so non ATLA watchers can understand a little and lastly, MC having breakdown like Azula. For the record, I could write about ATLA for pages since it is something I love since 2005. LOL This became a bit meta xd
You can join the discord server here 😉🤣
Firstly, the back ground:
I was 7 years old when ATLA started airing. I’d be excited to get back home to watch ATLA after school. Azula’s breakdown was awful back then when I first watch it as a kid. And of course, when they aired the episodes again and again. I rewatched again because I remembered the show being dope when I was in 12th grade which was stress relief while studying for university exams, and then I rewatched last year and even founded a Zutara server. Now I’m getting back to the point. In the last two rewatching, I saw Azula in a different light and her breakdown at the end of the show was understandable. I can recommend some ATLA meta that you might like. 
Secondly, Azula’s breakdown: 
Azula lost everything. In the flashbacks, you saw she was getting along with Zuko, laughing and playing tag until Ozai’s influence on her grew while Ursa showed more affection towards Zuko since Ozai basically hated Zuko. These two triggered each other and it grew like snowball effect which came to the point that Ozai-Azula and Ursa-Zuko. She didn’t get love from Ozai, she was just a puppet, someone to empower him more, not his daughter meanwhile to Ursa, she was a monster. Azula was 8 years old  Ursa disappeared. Imagine how this would affect the child. After this, she had estranged brother that she was jealous of because of Ursa’s love, a father who manipulated her, and an uncle who was too in pain to do anything and he was more focused on Zuko. She only had Mai and Ty Lee as “friends” but it was toxic and Azula used fear to control them. After Zuko got banished, Mai and Ty Lee went to their own places, leaving Azula alone with Ozai. Just when Zuko got back, she was being like the last times, cruel teasing, Mai and Ty Lee with her. Later, Zuko went away and probably got lectured by Ozai for her lie. Mai and Ty Lee stood against her. In the end, she had no one. Ozai didn’t want her with him either because he only wants power. Being alone drew her to the edge. In the Royal Hair Washing, the girl sje fired had her face. Her self hatred was palpable. She started to reflect this via Ursa, the mother who thought her as monster and didn’t love her like she did Zuko. I believe she would have had breakdown if she actually killed Zuko. At the end, she couldn’t handle it anymore. Being all alone, not being loved, self hatred and finally failing at something which is something she knows Ozai would never tolerate like he did with Zuko. This 14-year-old wouldn’t be able to handle it anymore and had breakdown.
Now last section, MC having breakdown like Azula’s:
Let’s see the things MC went through:
Stripped away from home
Doesn’t have much memory of it
Is thrusted into a world so foreign to them, where everything is foreign to them. There is no familiar thing that can make them recall home or feel at home
Is forced to study things that they have no prior info where the others have prior info and they are expected to ace the tests. This puts on pressure on regular students, can’t imagine the pressure they would feel since they barely understand the magic.
Is treated like trash by everyone at least once. From the first moment they came to Twisted Wonderland, they were like dirtbag. Dire gave them a house where they could get Hepatitis A to C, tetanus, hypothermia and any other disease. They have lived in that state for months and the house barely got fixed by the end of exams. They got belittled or used by almost all characters at least once. Examples: Vil calling them nobody; Azul trying to take the only thing they have from them, the dorm; Riddle calling them uneducated because not having magical parents; Leona acting like they are a toy in E2; Jamil literally manipulating their choice; sometimes NPC characters talked; Cater making them do his work etc.
They are given more than a person should handle. They are not certificated psychologist, they aren’t superhuman, they don’t have super healing... They are just human but has to fight enemies than can easily kill them if it were not the magic users around them. They are given the task of dealing with the emotional breakdown of the other people.
All of these are building up more and more. Maybe they started to get along with people after the belittlement and being used but every new character does this. At one point, it will be too much and they will think “they are only nice to me because I did a favor to them. If not for that, they wouldn’t be nice to me” which would lead to self doubt. When one starts doubting themselves, everything else starts to go down. Also, new characters treating them that way adds salt to the wound.
MC isn’t a professional psychologist. They can’t handle other people’s issues without taking a toll at themselves. They don’t even catch a break between everything.
Dire is deliberately keeping them away from home as they all do the errands he say. To him, what MC wants doesn’t matter much. The game doesn’t show but if MC has family and friends or pets, you can’t tell me that they wouldn’t miss them once or see, hug them or know their state, alive-dead, healthy-sick etc. 
Lastly not being invincible. The end of Episode 5 shows this well. They couldn’t stand against Grim who isn’t as powerful as the other overblot characters. They are mortal who can get hurt easily.
Now all these build up meanwhile we don’t see an MC centered chapter, how they are etc. It’s all about the others. Maybe there were a few chapters asking if MC is okay after everything but it feels like it is in the second plan. 
Everything that I mentioned can lead to a breakdown like Azula’s. Everything is just too much to handle and they don’t talk with a professional about it. When they finally let out everything, it feels much better, screaming out their lungs, lashing out like all of them did. They are finally letting out all of their emotions, crying and screaming; yet still feels better than bottling everything up. They think maybe that’s how overblot characters felt.
All in all, everyone in NRC needs a counselor.

You know what such a cute headcannon for Kiribaku is?
Bakugou sees Kirishima do something cute and he doesn’t show any kind of emotion on his face but internally he’s freaking the fuck out.
Or vice versa, Kiri watches Bakugou do something cute and out right tells him “that’s really adorable!!” Or “so cute!!” and Bakugou gets visibly red but his face doesn’t change
-Bakugou just watches Kiri’s little quirks, like taps in his cheeks when he’s thinking, or puffs out his cheeks when he’s mad
- and Bakugou just internally clutches his chest while he just stands there with a scowl trying to keep his composure
- If they’re holding hands, Kirishima will rub his thumb over his and it’s just another “oh fuck, heart may stop, call ambulance” moment that Bakugou adds to his list
- Bakugou has this thing where if he would like to see Kiri smile, he points to the corners of his own mouth and mimics a smile
-Kiri thinks it’s adorable and it never fails to make him grin
-Katsuki also likes to put their hands together when they’re hanging out and measure (Bakugou’s hands are HUGE to accommodate his quirk) and Kirishima just dies on the spot
- Kirishima loves calling Bakugou cute nicknames but his favorite one to call him is “Suga’” because yes❤️
-Bakugou will never outright admit it but he absolutely LOVES the name
-Like every time Kiri greets him with “Hey Suga!” Or “How’s my Suga today?” his brain just repeats it a billion times
-Kirishima thinks it’s really charming that Katsuki gets wrapped up in telling stories about himself and his little victories
- He just stares with practically heart eyes when Bakugou just gets into telling a tale of his accomplishment and his hands are moving along to the story
- Bakugou has the habit of drumming his pointer fingers against things when he’s bored (thanks to him joining the band) and he will deny that he does it but Kiri has so many videos for proof
-When Kiri gets bored, he always has a white marker and starts drawing on his shoes and they always look pretty cool
- Bakugou ofc thinks it’s so lovable and just goes “❤️❤️❤️” in his head every time he does it
- Hc that Kiri’s pupils get real big like a cats, so when he sees Bakugou, they just get huge and Bakugou feels his heart squeeze
- Like bro.. you’re pupils got all big.. cause of me bro?? Bro..
-If Bakugou gets injured (like a paper cut or something), Kiri always has a bunch of bandaids in his pockets (Kiri’s skin is more prone to cuts so his hands are covered in bandaids) and they’re really colorful
- Bakugou has a name for Kiri, which is much rarer than “Honey” or “Darling” and its “Mona” ( After Ballad of Mona Lisa and because Kiri is almost always smiling)
-Kiri thinks it’s such a nice name and goes into a little gay panic on the off chance Bakugou calls him “My Mona Lisa” during a touching moment
-Kiri makes mixtapes in his spare time, so Kiri often gifts Bakugou the ones he made for him
- Bakugou keeps every one and even buys a stereo just to listen to them
- Bakugou singing really cutesy songs with his gravely voice and Kiri just wanting to fall on the floor
- Kirishima will give Bakugou gifts because “it reminded me of you”
- He got a skull keychain with light up eyes and refuses to take that shit off his backpack
- He also has a mini bear with a little mad face that sits in the side pocket
- The amount of times Bakugou has lifted/thrown/carried this rock boy omg
- I feel like Kiri gushes about how strong he is, especially those broad shoulders of his
- Oh boy, to hear the guy you like blabber about how strong you are and ask how much you bench, very cute
- Bakugou will flip and twirl any pen or pencil you give him (also thanks to drumming skills) and Kiri thinks it’s so cool
- Kiri likes to sing but only when he’s alone or else he’ll sing badly on purpose, Bakugou hears him all the time thanks to thin dorm walls
- it really helps because Kiri sleeps later than him and it’s almost like having a little radio
- If Bakugou is ever feeling down, Kirishima will hand him strawberry marshmallows (strawberry is his favorite flavor) and it always manages a smile, even if it’s little
- Kiri thinks it’s really cute when Bakugou smiles when he thinks no one is looking
- Like if they’re hanging out with friends, when they’re all distracted, he’ll smile
- Bakugou has a photo of Kiri that he keeps in his wallet
- Kiri has one too and will not hesitate to show everyone how cute his boyfriend is
- Kiri likes to hum while he brushes his hair and sometimes does it in front of Bakugou when he stays at his dorm
- Kiri never misses an opportunity to tell new people that the guy trying to capture a seagull because it pissed him off is his boyfriend and they stare at him like he’s crazy as Kiri looks over at Bakugou with heart eyes
- If Bakugou thinks in video game, do you think he added Kiri to his party or does he see him as an NPC that never goes away?
- Bakugou is a blind shit and wears glasses, and Kiri pretends he’s a whole different person
- They both know Morse Code and Kiri uses it to send love messages to him
- Kirishima actually has a huge potty mouth when it comes to video games and will regularly curse while playing
- Bakugou Of course sits right next to him to listen
- He’s oddly good at crane games and wins Bakugou anything he wants
