Will there be a part 2 of the "Attention" fic?

infidelity [gn/m.reader]

the answer to that is a solid yes AND a big apology for taking a hundred years to post this. this ask has been in my inbox for freaking months. and it’s mostly because i have been remaking this fic until i got the most satisfying fic LMAO. i’m sorry for taking so long 😭 i hope this is compensation enough. btw this part 2 to this! but honestly, you don’t have to read it lmao.

𖦹 crack taken seriously, hsr mention but this is mostly genshin, this is just a fic of me making fun of cheaters aka you, highly based on that one tweet of the “welcome home, cheater” one, pushing my grand overseer reader agenda like in my early fics teehee <3, sagau, sahsr au

“I should probably go back…”

Jing Yuan begged to differ. The general himself had his reservations about your sudden eagerness to depart. After all, you were a good company — one that amused him to the core and even kept him awake for the better part of the day. You are an interesting being to him after all — much after learning from the exuberant girl from the famed Astral Express suddenly emphasizing your importance when they left you under his supervision.

You, in much simpler words, are adorable in the Luofo general’s eyes. With eagerness and curiosity melding in those gaze of yours that could leave anyone transfixed — wanting and desperate.

You truly live up to the title as the grand overseer across worlds. You were the sole beholder of their sentience, despite the fact that right now, you’re barely aware of your status and your circumstance, it was more than enough for anyone go cherish your presence. How could they not? It was a blessing to see you descend from where you were, behind the great barrier that they all could only stare at when they looked to you for guidance.

Alas, that mattered little, not when you were beside the amused general and his coy smile, fingers raking through your hair; reminiscent of the pattern when he would do the same thing to Mimi when you visited his abode to meet the furry beauty that was his pet.

Quite frankly, you weren’t all too sure if this was something you were used to, being treated like an animal companion, with even the way Jing Yuan’s hand would suddenly roam behind your very human ears, scratching behind out of habit.

The only thing missing was him giving your food to you in a bowl, actually, and you’d be no different than Mimi at that point. Wait. No. You were sure Jing Yuan’s lion also ate out of a golden encrusted plate when you saw his hired caretakers come and feed Mimi.

“Bark for me, won’t you?” The general teased with a purr and it was more than enough for you to pull the plug at your willing compliance.

You removed his hand from your head and only shot him a subtle glare, “That’s a request I can’t honor even if my life depended on it.” You sighed, “I should get going now though, General… I made a promise to help our conductor in sweeping the floors. Apparently Caelus tracked some dirt inside when he decided to lug some trash.”

“Must you really? You’re the grand overseer, no? I believe such a title deserves a limitless freedom in doing whatever it is that they wish,” he coaxed in a suave tone, quick to win anyone over. And honestly, that sounds nice. But you’ve never seen Pom-Pom look so stressed when you saw an unwilling March and Dan Heng drag some trash either wrapped in gold bags or regular black ones inside the express when they came back from Belobog.

You somehow regretted leaving first — but even you had urgent matters to attend to at that moment.

“Ah—!” The lax Jing Yuan jolted at your sudden outburst.

“…Anything troubling you, Grand Overseer?”

“T-Teyvat! I completely forgot…!” Your eyes were blown wide as the panic settled within you. You had promised Nahida you would make it to the Interdarshan championship. She was so excited when she communed with you just days ago, completely elated that even your beloved Wanderer would participate as a representative in a Darshan.

Albeit confused by your sudden squawking, Jing Yuan understood and only watched you pace around while you lamented what sounds to be a rehearsed apology that you will no doubt tell to someone you hold precious.

“How envious, to receive an apology from you even sounds like a great honor.” Jing Yuan teased with a chuckle. “Well then, off you go now. Don’t be away for too long. I rather enjoy our time together.”

“O-Oh, yes, of course… I truly apologize for cutting our time together short. Do give my regards to Fu Xuan and Yanqing if they drop by. I have to go and talk to the crew and also bid my goodbye for now.” You bowed before turning away, briskly walking your way towards the door outside of the general’s office, only to bump into Welt and March.

“Oh! There you are! Ya ready to go shopping?” March held an exuberant energy as she asked, clasping your hand in hers tightly with an excited gleam flashing through her eyes.

Welt, however, was far more observant than March, “Judging from that look in your eyes… you have some affairs you’ve forgotten to tend to, Your Benevolence. Would I be correct in my judgment?”

“It’d be a miracle for you to be wrong at this point,” you laughed amidst your panic. “But yes, unfortunately. March, I hope you don’t mind a little bit of postponement… I have somewhere to be urgently.”

March’s bottom lip stuck out into pleading pout, “But you promised!”

“March, let’s not force them. It is as they say — an urgent affair.” Welt only looked at you with a small nod and an encouraging smile, “Don’t be too worried. I’ll let Himeko and Dan Heng know of your absence. Just be safe.”

“I will definitely come back and visit.” Your smile and reassurance was enough to quell March’s disappointment and Welt’s initial concern. “Please tell Caelus not to track more dirt inside. It’ll only serve to frustrate Pom-Pom further.”

“It’s a useless attempt, but for you, I’ll try,” March winked as she waved to you with Welt.

With a nod to the two of them, you were off to Teyvat — lucky that you have little need for the Star Rail in the first place to travel. Otherwise, it would most certainly take you the entire conceivable time just before you could even come back to one of the many worlds that you oversaw and to a fault, even took care of from afar.

You stepped into the familiar grassy fields of Sumeru’s rainforest, looking up to see that the city isn’t too far off. There was a gentle breeze that blew by, almost like a kiss from a certain archon, but you paid little heed to it. You normally always took your time to appreciate the sights in Teyvat, finding its vast lands and many biomes incredibly fantastical in sight. But even that couldn’t keep you from the fact that you’ve broken several promises that you willingly made to some residents here.

You can only imagine the disappointment in everyone’s faces once you’ve admitted to the fact that… other people may have swept your attention away in the first place — hence your sudden absence.

You owed your first apology to Nahida. She is after all, one of your far more favored archons around, treating her like your own, definitely something that would make Rukkhadevata proud among every other archon out there. And then there’s also a matter of apologizing to your dear Aether, you made another promise to him that you would spend your time with him in Sumeru’s far end by the Realm of Farakhkert to meet the infamous Sorush and the majestic race of the Pari (you once made a claim that Aranara’s are superior, and your endeared traveler was reluctant in protesting to your words it seems).

Now that you thought about it — you were sure you made quite a lot of promises to the residents of Teyvat. A lot of commitments were hammered into your special sanctuary that Aether had built for and with you inside his teapot.

Commitments that you’ve forgotten in favor of space travels with a couple of trailblazers.

Onlookers turned to your direction, completely flabbergasted at your casual appearance. What were you doing in Sumeru city (not that they were ungrateful for your gracious presence) — but it was as if you were solely taking a stroll on your own. Where are your entourage? Was the Acting Grand Sage even informed of your arrival? What about the archons that always accompanied you? Where is Buer?

Best of all, why does your face contort into an expression of what seems to be utter guilt?

You hiked your way to the Sanctuary of Surasthana, refusing any help offered to you by the guards that were courteous enough. You were prepared to face Nahida’s crestfallen look — prepared to start indulging her wishes to make up for the tomfoolery you engaged in. The corners of your mouth trembled as it itched to finally spill out the plethora of apologies that you’ve prepared.

“Oh. So you exist after all.”

Only for your well-rehearsed (by the last minute) apologies to fall apart when the Wanderer’s voice rang from above. You looked up to see him perched on one of the ledges just above the door of Nahida’s residence. He was stationed like a watchful hawk — and he was, constantly on the prowl for anyone suspicious daring to come up to the sanctuary.

Suddenly, a memory of you promising him to go fishing by the coasts of Sumeru had you wincing. And with the way the puppet’s mouth turned up in a smug smirk showed that he was aware of an engagement you swore you’d do with him.

“Ah… I hear you go by Hat guy now?” You tilted your head, giving him a reluctant smile.

“Spare me the meaningless prying. Where have you been?” His eyes narrowed, suspicious and a tad bitter at your absence and incompetence in attending a tiny little leisure that you yourself insisted he join you on. Who the hell even creates plans first and suddenly flakes out? The Wanderer has never felt more betrayed, quite frankly.

You suddenly looked like a guilty spouse that came from a messy affair, with the way you shifted your footing and how you averted your gaze quick. The Wanderer was intolerant of such a behavior however when he finally came down from his little high up spot to face you with no escape. He will summon a void and trap you in it halfway if you so much as make an attempt to escape.

“I’ve been… away…”

“Were you now?” His scrutinizing gaze only served to intimidate you further when he came up close, his nimble fingers tracing against your clothing. “Whose is this?”

And before you, he held a familiar long strand of white hair — possibly acquired when the general of Luofo decided to frolic around with you, coaxing (or coercing, more like) you to give him a much deserved head massage for his hard work (though in truth, he barely did anything that day).

“…A cat.” Technically not a lie. Jing Yuan does exhibit certain behaviors that you can classify as a behavior that a feline has.

“Is it now?” His voice went an octave higher — clearly mocking you if his churlish grin wasn’t enough of a sign about his suspicions of you and your… agendas prior to your unprompted visit in Teyvat.

A terse silence engulfed you and your Wanderer before he flicked away the hair and dragged you inside Nahida’s sanctuary.

“She was disappointed that you were absent the entire Interdarshan event thing. Where in the abyss were you?” The puppet hissed, his grip on your wrist tightening. Somehow you found it far more comforting compared to the times where people would treat you like some fragile object that could break at any second.

What’s not comforting however, were his words. You couldn’t bear the thought of letting Nahida down, and now you’re faced with that very thought becoming a reality that you now have to get through just for the sake of your sanity.

You smiled a little despite seeing the Dendro Archon’s back turned while she minded her own business. There was always something comforting when wasting your hours away inside the sanctuary. Just having to teach Nahida from your old world knowledge about people, and to an extent even teaching the Wanderer with your wisdom that rarely pops out (according to him, with full intent to insult you). It’s not as daring as the time Venti decided to fling you up and catch you or Ei’s insistence on you eating your tenth dango during your walks.

For now however, you had one goal in mind — and that is to make amends with your favored archon and puppet.

Teyvat altogether created an unspoken rule to never ever doubt you — the Grand Overseer. You have a position that transcends even farther than the Primordial One, your eyes that gaze on many universes and worlds. You are the one that took care of the blooming life in each planet that teemed with it, thriving under your guidance.

There was a collective decision among all gods and mortals alike to never doubt your endeavors, much less your love for them. You care a lot about them, and based solely on your constant descent towards their world, it seems as though above all other worlds, you favored them. They were the proof of your benevolence, granting the residents your presence while you walked among them.

Right. That was the case that everyone agreed upon.

However, there was an underlying layer of unease. Heaven forbid may it be doubt; they could never! But perhaps… a tiny bit of uncertainty in the layer of cautiousness as the residents watched you with adoration.

It first started with the wrong names.

When Albedo, Sucrose, and Timaeus wholeheartedly welcomed your help when you visited Dragonspine with Klee. Jean was far too busy with her work and while she wished to, could not have time to bask in your presence after the announcement of your sudden arrival. In turn, you only assured her and relieved her of her added duty in watching over Klee.

Klee was the one to visit big brother Albedo, to surprise him that you were finally back. And you complied. Dragonspine is an extension of Mondstadt, and you had plans to check up on every single resident of the nation.

Suffice to say, you were quickly hooked up in a chair, pulse detectors attached to your temples while you watched Klee doodle away on the floor. For a respected overseer, you certainly were a people pleaser, letting Albedo scan you out of his own volition (Sucrose was fussing the entire time, she didn’t want you to be hurt in the process, after all!).

“Look Grand Overseer! This is you and me and Dodoco!” Your vision was quickly filled with a flurry of bright colors on paper, one that was filled with an abundant amount of red and the other with the colors of your clothing.

“Ah! So it is! Good job, Hook!”

Everyone in silence soon tore themselves away from their work, looking at you with evident confusion.

Klee blinked, tilting her head as she looked just as lost and surprised as the other three researchers in the mountain, “Hook? That’s not how you say Klee…”

Your heart hammered against your ribcage and tried to save it with a cough, “D-Did I now? Ah, my bad… I meant to say was that you… did a great job! It immediately hooked me in!” It was a half-baked excuse — hell, call it a raw excuse even and everyone aside from Klee caught on as the explosive child beamed with pride, just happy that you loved her heartfelt creation.

Albedo eyed you in suspicion before returning to his work.

Then there was your misplaced reminiscence.

In your defense however, Snezhnaya does feel like Belobog. Sometimes… most definitely not because of the fact that both places are constantly subjected in a thick layer of snow.

The Tsaritsa was all but cruel to you. She loved you like any other archon out there and always basked in your presence — even keeping you for herself a week or two longer, leaving the next nation in your rotation of visitation completely restless at your tardiness. However in her gentle kindness was a terrifying beast that laid dormant.

Only then did you catch a glimpse of it on the morning that you and her spent on your appointed room in the palace, both you and the Cryo Archon siting on the balcony while you sipped on a hot beverage, enjoying the mountainous coated in freshly fallen snow.

You sat your cup down and blew on your hands. The Tsaritsa laughed at your actions, pleased that you can truly feel the love she embodied through the cold winds of her icy nation.

“Cold enough for you, Grand Overseer?” She jested with a light tone.

“…Yep…” your teeth lightly chattered. “…T-This place is a lot c-colder than Belobog, I’ll tell you that… B-But not more than Jarilo-VI as a whole…”

All of a sudden, you could feel the creeping coldness from beside you and looked to where the archon sat, her striking eyes looking at you with curiosity… with a smidge of coldness behind them.

“Pardon? Not colder than where?”

Her tone was pressed despite her sweet adoring smile. She took pride in her sovereign kingdom of cryo. It was all for you, to feel the comforting cold after you spent your last stay with Murata in Natlan. This was her giving you love, and suddenly, it wasn’t enough?

The better part of your mind decided to feign ignorance. And you lived to see another day.

And then the sudden secrecy.

By all means, of all people, Zhongli indulged in your stories the most. Whenever you visited Liyue, you were almost always found beside him if Ningguang wasn’t asking for your presence or if you weren’t getting coerced into another drinking competition with Beidou and her crew. And in this case, you were preoccupied with a little something while you accompanied Zhongli in his usual spot.

He listened earnestly to the storyteller while you busied yourself writing a little something on a parchment you had acquired from the Wangsheng parlor when you fetched Zhongli for his break.

And ever so slightly, he’d find himself glancing at your hunched over form, while you stewed in your little activity. He didn’t particularly mind the lack of conversation from you. Having you beside him was more than enough, actually. But it wouldn’t hurt for you to have him be just as engaged in your little agenda, would it?

The former archon peered at your work, only to be faced with scripts that were oddly reminiscent of Liyue’s characters. Albeit there were significant changes that made the language still all too different from his nation.

“…Might you be translating ancient texts, Grand Overseer?” He inquired and was met by a suspicious jolt from you.

It was a text Dan Heng gave you before to practice the language used in the Xianzhou fleet. Only now did you have time to do his little practices upon your descent. You had plans to check up on everyone as soon as you were done in Teyvat, and perhaps impressing Yanqing with your language prowess was a good party trick (and eventually not get bullied into eating something spicy because of your ignorance).

“Ah! N-No—! I— yes. No.”

Zhongli tilted his head and you were quick to recall your flubbed answer, shoving away the parchment into your little pocket. There was a frantic look in your eyes and Zhongli was concerned, naturally.

You used to be so willing in divulging everything to him in exchange for his stories, with the both of you managing to talk from dusk to dawn without fail with him needing little to no sleep and the time dilation that your body couldn’t seem to adjust to. You weren’t afraid to share what you were preoccupied with, and even often let him experience new things from your own world.

So why are you keeping secrets now?

But perhaps, the breaking point was your standoffish nature.

Aether has always cherished his raw connection with you and was proud to wear his closeness to your divinity, not because of infamy, but because of how incredibly special you treat him. While, certainly, you have made the people of Teyvat special on your visits, but what sets him apart from the rest is your adamant expression of affection towards him. For some reason, he was favored alone, not as a part of a collective unlike Venti and his people, or Zhongli and his. He alone was yours to indulge, even more behind closed doors in his teapot realm.

However… something was off after your abrupt visit.

Something had changed when you came home.

You were far more distracted, occupied with that tiny device you always held in your hand. Suddenly, Paimon wasn’t the loudest one in the teapot mansion with the incessant beeping that your phone made. It never did that before, it was always tucked away somewhere, sometimes even letting him place it in his inventory if there was little time to go back into the teapot.

He had always deemed your mode of communication useless. Especially on your travels. It was always so silent, like a useless artifact that you keep on you.

But suddenly it was teeming with life, buzzing endlessly that could drive any man with weak resistance into the threshold of insanity. You’d often pick it up and grant the little device a heavenly smile and proceed to be on it for hours upon hours.

It was a heartbreaking time for him.

It was heartbreaking whenever he would peer at your device, only for you to keep him in the dark as you made some lame excuse.

It was heartbreaking whenever he could no longer recognize your words when you talked about your own anecdotes, throwing name after name at him while he listened intently.

And oh was it heartbreaking when you called him by the name of someone else.

“[Name], have you seen my earring?” He took pride in his informality with you showing your comfortability and familiarity with the renowned traveler.

“Over on the table, Cae— ther… Caether… Aether.”

Not so much with that tiny slip.

Yes. Perhaps that was it. And all the preceding reasons.

Perhaps it was why you sat like a condemned criminal in the court of Focalors, as every archon looked at you with scrutiny and skepticism in their eyes. Only sweet Nahida looked at you in concern. Ah, your poor child. You’d rather her look away than experience the possible punishment you were about to receive.

“Grand Overseer, make no mistake, this is a trial born from the accumulated concerns of us all. This is a trial born… from our love.” The hydro archon’s voice bellowed through the courts. She normally wasn’t one to personally try the defendants, however you were a special circumstance.

You always were.

…Sure doesn’t feel like it…

“M-May I at least know what my charges are…?”

“Infidelity, Grand Overseer.” Ei answered for the collective. “I can only hope you are not found guilty.”

You grimaced. You’re quite glad that this was a private trial, with only the archons, retired or otherwise, gazing at you. Make no mistake however — this was an intimidating position to be in. You may be the Grand Overseer, but you’re quite sure the only thing keeping you alive is their thinly veiled fanaticism and adoration for you. Otherwise, you would have been incinerated long ago.

It might have been your luck. But it was something you would wholeheartedly thank as the moment Focalors slammed her gavel down, the horrifying screech of something you can only classify as a hideous ally pulled you out of your impending doom.

The alarm on your phone rang incessantly, a glaring reminder of your subpar and mundane reality, waking you up from a dream that you could barely remember.

You shot up, only realizing you fell asleep in front of your own computer. You looked up to see your game open, with your beloved traveler gazing down at you with a disappointed frown on his face.

You chalked it up to your awful sleep and rubbed your eyes, closing the game and migrating to the other, where your in-game phone was filled to the brim with messages.

Smothering a yawn in your hand, you can only shake your head.

“My games have been really weird lately. I should probably leave them alone for now. Maybe have fun with Elysia and the girls.” You muttered to yourself but not before powering your computer down.

Truly, your utter cluelessness is bound to drive everyone insane.

Fret not however, they will make it work. They will let you know of their sentience. They will make sure that you are aware of how much they admire you.

It’s only a matter of time until then.

┋ The Steambird Issue No.517

article commissioned by the fontaine steambird magazine and written by ✾ mei/rin ✾

[Breaking News!] Our Fontaine gadget makers did it again, folks!

A collaboration project between Fontaine's best gadget makers and the scholars at Sumeru Akademiya has resulted in a prototype device inspired by the now-obsolete AKASHA system.

Not many details have been revealed, but as the scholars described it, they are aiming to use the concept of AKASHA to create a virtual space, called TeyvaTweets, where people can communicate with one another without seeing each other's faces! Yes - much quite like a communication device, but one that utilizes text instead of the usual verbal methods of communication.

A few selected testers have been invited to try it out, and if you're one of the lucky ones - congratulations! We look forward to seeing how this new technology will help connect people across Teyvat.

——————————⟡⟡⟡ ✉️ ⟡⟡⟡——————————

Dear <USER>,

𝒞ongratulations! You have been selected to help with testing out the fruits of our labor, here at the Sumeru-Fontaine collaboration project. Enclosed is the device containing the application: TeyvaTweets. Have fun perusing it, and we look forward to your feedback.

⧽ [ Turn on the device ] [ Leave it off ]

ps. user manual and warnings attached on a separate page.

𝚄𝚜𝚎𝚛 𝙼𝚊𝚗𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚟𝟷.𝟶.

you should be able to open it using both phone and pc (it's just a normal website).

clicking on pfp/name/username in a tweet (orange box) will open the profile of that person. clicking the 'x' icon on the popup box's top right side will close the user profile.

clicking the tweet on the main page will open the tweet's replies thread. clicking the back button will bring you back to the main page.

𝚆𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜.

there are suggestive contents inside, but nothing explicit.

some of you make cameos under other people's tweets too! see if you can spot yourself ;)

there's a lot of images for this one so the page might load slowly for you, especially if your internet isn't fast. i'm also using a free hosting service from GitHub, so yeah.

in order to indulge everyone, please pretend the tweet reply threads that 'overlap' with one another is a separate world on their own (e.g. if multiple people are flirting with a character and they flirt back in the reply thread don't point fingers and say that they're unfaithful / is cheating / ruin someone else's fun in general ;;;)

tested on chrome & safari web browsers on a mac and iphone + google pixel. crossing my fingers that it works on other devices too...

created for 𝓏𝒽𝑜𝓃𝑔𝓇𝒾𝓃'𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 (submissions are closed)

might make a y/n-ify version of this in the future bc my brain accidentally fleshed out a whole concept of how it would work, but don't count me on that bc it's gonna take a lot more effort than this and honestly idk if it's even worth it-

——————————⟡⟡⟡ ✉️ ⟡⟡⟡——————————

The h/c boy smacked his head on the table and groaned loudly enough only for his friends around him to hear. They all looked at the boy before Albedo asked:

"Is everything ok, Y/n?"

"No...." Y/n mumbled as he slowly lifted his head up and looked at the purple haired boy on the next table "He texted me"

"The pretty boy?" Hu Tao asked as she looked at Scara too "What did you two talked about?"

"Why i left without saying anything years ago" the boy hid his face in his hands before saying "I feel bad. I made him think that he did something wrong and that's why i left for Mondstadt"

"But it's your parents fault, not yours. Don't blame yourself for something you didn't do Y/n" Ayaka said calmly, trying to comfort the e/c eyed boy.

Well she's right. It's not Y/n's fault. It's their parents fault, but he still felt bad about it.

"But you guys talked it out, right? I mean the new tweet you posted in your private account says a lot" Venti said teasingly while showing the tweet in your face.

Y/n grabbed his hand and pulled it down, his face feeling hot before saying "Shut up alcohol maniac! He could hear you!" Venti laughed at his friend's embarrassment.

"But yeah we talked it out and i feel like he relaxed after learning the truth..." Y/n looked at Scara again, small smile showing on their face.

"Love is in the air~" Lumine said in a sing-dong way, smirking at her friend.

"I swear to god, Lumi if you-"

"You're in love, my friend. It's way too obvious" she said as she put her head on her hand and looked at Y/n teasingly.

"I am not!" the boy yelled, small blush showing on his face. Y/n? In love with Scara? Pffft, like that will ever happen.

Teach me! - y/n and company

Tighnari × GN reader

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

y/n l/n

Third year at the Akademiya University (or just Akademiya for short), you've settled in nicely after moving to Sumeru City two years ago, fleeing a bad relationship with your parents. Unfortunately, you picked the first major you could get your hands on to get here and so ended up with one containing a lot of math and science - which you could usually manage before this dreadful year...

Lumine and Aether

Second years at the Akademiya after a year at Teyvat University, Lumine and Aether are your best friends. You met them right after moving to Sumeru City and it's like you guys grew up together. Global communications majors, everyone knows them and someone always has a favor to ask them. They find it hard to say no.

Ayaka

Second year at the Akademiya and a fashion design major, she is the sweetest soul you ever met and always has your back. The twins introduced you and she has been part of the friend group ever since. Ever the optimist, she tries to get you to see the glass half full even when it's difficult. She has made everyone in the group custom clothes at least once and would've made even more if you hadn't stopped her before she got burnt out-

Kazuha

Second year at the Akademiya, biochem major. He's your roommate and the first person to make you feel at home in the new city. He's the one who introduced you to the twins. His Twitter account is dedicated to drama, and he can be a tad too nosy for his own good, but his blackmail folder has never failed you.

Xiao

Third year at the Akademiya, a philosophy major and Kazuha's childhood friend. It's almost impossible to get him to use his main for anything, but he will complain about the smallest things in the most angsty way on his priv. It's a small celebration everytime he does tweet on his main, and Childe buys everyone drinks. He bonded with you over shitty bio parents and is now one of your most loyal friends.

Yanfei

Second year at the Akademiya, Yanfei pursues a criminology major. She is the one to go to whenever you're in trouble with the law - and hypothetically would help you get away with murder if you feed her well enough. You both met at a party away from the group, where you pet the house dog together for three hours while chatting. She often has to be the voice of reason but prefers going along with whatever bit the group has going on.

Childe

The oldest of the group. He dropped out a year ago and has been selling spicy pics on his onlyfans, making bank in the process and earning himself the title of the group's sugar daddy. He often offers to pay for everyone, despite the rest of you insisting that he paid three times in a row and you want to treat him instead. While he can be childish (👁👁) he is still a really good therapist friend and can make you laugh easily when you're upset.

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

Teach me!

masterlist - sumeru gang

his favorite song

synopsis: kazuha is faced with a strong, difficult, life altering question. what is his favorite song?

charactes: kazuha x gn!reader, beidou

warnings: mentions of alcohol and being drunk

note: first post here kinda nervous teehee, not expecting this to do amazing but im actually kinda proud of it. this is just a little blurb to get my blog started and i think i might just start off doing these. this was fun to write

He had heard many pleasant melodies in his life. The early song of a tweeting bird on a branch of a tree he was resting on, bustles of leaves in the wind guiding him to his next adventure, crashing of thunder of his home land; reminding him of a past he long wished to forget. The hums of life he passed during his journey across Teyvat. Others he knew would often speak of their 'favorite songs', when asked about his 'favorite song', his mind came blank. Surely he had to have one, right? his very drunk lady friend prodded him expecting an answer. He was never one to come short, so he would provide one. Once he figured it what it was. What really is a favorite song? he pondered. A song that has meaning, words that speak to him in a most deeper personal level. Perhaps, a song that has beautiful instrumentals and composition, a violin carrying the melody or a bass carrying the rhythm. A song that makes him smile, makes him think, makes him cry. A song that's forever looped in his head where every peacefully moment is consumed by it.

"come on, kazu! you gotta tell me something" beidou's slurred next to him. In the cabin of the Crux across from Beidou and Kazuha was a small group of the other crew members, the Alcor was lively tonight. A roar of laughter erupted from them, Kazuha's saffron eyes lit up and danced around to find a beautiful giggle amongst the crowd. Such a small sound had his pale skin tinted pink at his ear tips and cheeks. He found the person who made such a cute sound.

you.

Ah, how could a skilled samurai be stunned by something so minor? A laugh of all things. his head lolled, resting on the palm of his hand as the other drummed against the wooden table. His eyes were trained on you as if he were stuck in a trance. The way you smiled with the crew, a smile you expressed to him that you were slightly insecure about but he never understood how you could be ashamed of such a lovely thing? He would give up his sword and vision if it meant you could smile and laugh for him everyday. Oh and your laugh, like a gorgeous lullaby that sang praises to him.

It was then, he finally had an answer for Beidou.

"y/n. they're my favorite song."

⋆⁺ [ 027 ] let's end this stupid act of ours

warning/s: slight angst (if you squint), scara is lowkey a bitch, not proofread, please read the whole chapter! | w/c: 1.2k

read under the cut!

Scaramouche arrived at the place where they were supposed to meet minutes earlier. He leaned at the wall and took his phone out, scrolling through Twitter as he snickers because of his friends' tweets.

Not wanting to see Childe flirting with people on Twitter, he decided to plug his earphones in and listen to music. He listened to the song City of Winds and Idylls, a piece created by the music band 5WIRL. As expected, it did calm his nerves.

Being nervous is an understatement; his heart is beating so fast that he can hear it even with the music playing through his ears. He sighed as he tried his best to distract himself from the uncomfortable air around him.

He was silently humming to the song from time to time, which only stopped when someone had abruptly snatched his earphones away. Having a guess who this person might be, he quickly sent a glare to them. He groaned as the person won't give his earphones back, "Mona."

Mona was fuming mad; she was panting, which made it clear that she ran from her dorm to stop whatever Scaramouche was planning. She let go of his earphones and pointed at him, "Stop whatever you are planning."

Scaramouche rolled his eyes and slapped her hand away, "Megistus, why do you even care?"

"I'm only looking out for you! Don't tell me you think I only care for Y/N in this matter? I've told you before; you will also be hurt!" Tears filled her eyes as she shot back the glare at the boy in front of him. She could no longer suppress the feelings that were stuck in her chest. She only wanted to look out for her friends, so why is she in the wrong?

Scaramouche pursed his lips as he watched Mona wipe her tears harshly. She breathed deeply and started, "Do you think you won't feel the guilt after you betray her? She likes you, Scaramouche. And you know that you do too."

"Why do you think I even approached her in the first place? I told you, Mona. I will do whatever I need to do to achieve what I want. Heck, even if the Tsaritsa wants me to offer her my life, I would!" He shouted, his voice echoing throughout the formerly silent hallway.

"Do you think I don't care about her? You said it yourself; I care about her. But as I said, there's no turning back now that I've reached this far," he breathed harshly, "This is the only way for me to get into Fatui High. The only way, and the easiest at that. So, let me be," he added.

Mona went silent for a moment with her head hung low, "Then... I hope you don't regret anything. Because one wrong move, and you might not be able to turn in back."

Y/N couldn't believe what she had just heard, was Scaramouche only using her to get into Fatui High? She backed away from the corner where she was hiding and ran away.

Scaramouche caught a glimpse of Y/N's shadow. "Shit," he muttered under his breath and told Mona to get out of his way.

Mona chuckled bitterly, "An unexpected turn of events, I must say. Good luck fixing that, Scaramouche."

"This is your fault! Had you not come here in the first place, should my plan have gone smoothly." he shoved Mona away harshly and started chasing after Y/N.

He quickly chased after the girl through the long, quiet hallways of Teyvat High. He ran and ran and ran and ran, but he could not catch up as Y/N took a turn in one corridor that leads to the campus ground. He doesn't know why he kept chasing her, he doesn't know what to tell her, and he doesn't know if he could even face her. Not when she knew that he was only using her for his stupid plan of getting to Fatui High. Or was he really?

He quickly ran towards the direction where Y/N went. There, he saw Y/N sitting on the bench, where the two of them first talked properly, staring at the sky. The sky was as black as his soul, he thought.

A loud, clanking sound could be heard from the heavens above. The atmosphere was cold, and it was starting to drizzle. He stared at the back that was facing him, contemplating whether he should talk to her or not. After minutes of deliberating over the subject, he quickly approached Y/N.

"Y/N," he said quietly and went in front of Y/N. His voice hinted at a feeling of guilt and shame. "I..."

It was clear to her that he couldn't form the right words to say. Scaramouche found himself stuttering, and a lump formed on his throat.

Y/N breathed through the suffocating atmosphere, feeling the tension piling up as moments passed. The rain started to pour as if it was weeping with her. Her head was hung low, eyes on the ground, and she could hear the thunderous wail of the heavens.

"You've got anything to say?" Having heard no response from the boy in front of her, she sighed as she grew impatient.

She chuckled sarcastically, "That moment you said you liked me, all those memories and time we've spent together. Was all of those a lie?" Tears streamed down her eyes; she barely managed to speak between the sobs that escaped her lips.

The thunder roared once again as Scaramouche stood and remained quiet, not knowing what to say, to respond, to do. He was simply watching her cry again.

This time, it was his fault that she was crying. Not her mother nor her grades; it was his fault.

She heaved a heavy sigh, trying her best to calm herself so her emotions won't get the best of her. "I'll give you time to explain. I don't want to part ways without hearing your side."

But Scaramouche remained silent. He tried to open his mouth, but no words came out. He felt ashamed and stupid. He couldn't look at Y/N's eyes, not when he knew that tears wouldn't stop spilling from her eyes because of him. He was selfish. Mona had warned him, but he didn't listen.

"Right. It was all an act. A gigantic hoax you made up." Y/N smiled bitterly as she bit her lower lip, "If you don't have anything to say then… I guess it is how it is.

"I don't want either of us hurting each other anymore. Let's end this stupid act of us. Farewell, Scaramouche." Y/N turned her back and started walking away from him. Where did I go wrong?

He raised his hand to stop her, trying to reach her. He tried to speak, but he didn't have the courage to do so. She hates him; she loathes him. It hurt when the woman he liked bid farewell to him. But was it right of him to feel the same pain she feels when it was his fault in the first place?

He hoped none of this had happened. If he didn't trip her on that day, maybe he wouldn't have hurt her. He should have listened to Mona, at least for once. Mona was right, again.

"I'm… sorry." Those were the only words that came out of his mouth. And to make it much worse, he only whispered those remarks, leaving it to the wind to pass his message to Y/N.

Scaramouche's lips quiver as he tries his best not to let any tears fall down his cheeks. He doesn't have the right to cry; he hurt Y/N's feelings, whose love for him was pure and genuine.

ABYSSAL LOVE ✰ previous ♡ masterlist ♡ next

a/n: SORRY FOR THE DELAY! i got too immersed watching skz vids. anyways, i'd really appreciate some thoughts and feedbacks ♡ i'm not sure when i'll update again as i need my creative juices to come back first lol, please expect slow updates from now on (probably like, every week). once again, happy first monthsary~

⋆⁺ synopsis — Scaramouche, the person who tripped you on purpose just to see your despair expression on your face, hates how you always appear so happy in front of other people. He hated the fact that you find life enjoyable, unlike him. You, of course, hated him back. You don't understand why he goes to the extent to see your face crinkle in pure dismay. But what if you realize that the person who always laughs at your misery isn't so insufferable after you get to know him?

MINUS ONE — profiles : others

PREVIOUS | MASTERLIST | NEXT

y/n's private account & childe's private account are self-explanatory. they only allow their closest friends to view their protected tweets.

teyvat news : an account established for the alternative “virtual” university gazette. the ex-president of the previous student council board was the one who came up with the idea to not waste papers and reduce the cost of printing. recently, the multimedia team is the one behind the account. though sometimes, the team treats it as a fan page and a personal account, some students did follow teyvat news just to see the admins clowning and roasting each other in their own threads.

wanmin cafe : the most popular university cafe surrounded by science faculties. due to its successful launch, the cafe itself got monthly allowance from the university top management for monthly check-ups by the officials, to renew the permit, or to improvise the interior. ran by xiangling and her father, chef mao.

the arataki gang : a local university band that is slowly rising due to its unique choices of songs. someone once asked, “why arataki?” as their chosen name, but a certain drummer from the band only boasted that it's his first name. teyvat news stated that shinobu, that one girl with a powerful electric guitar, was the one that saved the band from bad circumstances but the 'arataki' guy could only scoff at teyvat news after the interview.

SUMMARY. placing second in your year every single time can be tiresome, as childe will always snatch the first place and you will always be behind him. you hate his right answers and the winning smirk he directs at you whenever he gets a perfect score, while you, more often than not, end up with a minus one from his perfect 100. stalking his youtube channel is not exactly an ideal plan to start your mission of obtaining the #1 spot, but hey, apparently, childe gives out great content for super motivated students like so you couldn't really blame yourself for that.

(or, alternatively, you find yourself attracted to him the more you admire his channel from afar. but wait, hold up, aren't you supposed to be his academic rival?! it is even worse when you need to interview childe for the teyvat university's monthly issue too.)

Ajax in the transmigrated villainess trope

(inspired by these tweets: https://twitter.com/FUSHIGUR0/status/1594212299652599809)

Ajax was sure he was close to his wit's end. He had just finished doing his side mission of collecting the adepti sigils. It was a pain to do so, as he was associated with the fatui, who was already painted in the dark light by most people. He wanted to take a break, maybe a nap back in his suite but no. Apparently, Zhongli had scheduled a dinner with him at the Liuli Pavilion.

Not that he minded but a prior notice would be appreciated.

But then again, such an occurrence was becoming a habit for the two.

Zhongli would go to the restaurant, be escorted to a table, patiently wait for him all the while he would learn of their supposed meal time together through the fast rumours around them, go to the restaurant, eat together with Zhongli, pay for the meal and walk around the harbour together.

He didn't mind doing it as it helps him complete his missions as well as see how much progress the traveller has with the love interest.

That's right, he wasn't the original Tartaglia but a mere college graduate that goes by the name of Ajax.

For one reason or another, he became Tartaglia, codename Childe, in the otome-adventure game "Miraculous Genshin: Tales of Traveller in Teyvat". It was about a set of twins being torn apart in an unknown world and trapped to uncover its mysteries and help the people save their nation, all while gaining the hearts of the love interests in each nation. He played the main antagonist in the Liyue Chapter Series where he carefully planned a disaster to befall the harbour while unknowingly helping the Traveller steal the heart of the retired Geo Archon, Zhongli.

He learned about the game through his little sister, Tonia, who stressed his similarities to the fatui harbinger. "Brother, brother!" she used to yell. "You HAVE to cosplay Childe for this con! Don't worry about the customer, your precious sister has that covered!"

Being a stressed-out college graduate looking for a job, he complied with her wishes (definitely not because of her puppy eyes and happiness). He watched her play the game, listening to her rely on the lore and story of the characters as well as her theories on the possible future of the game.

He was specifically drawn to Zhongli, be it because of his appearance or his lore. The man had been working for over 6,000 years and only recently had been thinking about his own life and retirement. His life was filled with his duties as an Archon that he had neglected his personal life as simply being himself, away from his title. He also liked how it was clear that despite being already retired, Zhongli was still ready to protect Liyue shall there be a threat that his people could not fight back.

He was an Archon who just recently decided to put full faith in his people and saw the influence his protection has over his land.

"Ah, Mr Childe!" Licai greeted him with a smile. It appears as if he had arrived at Liuli Pavilion.

He returned it, fixing the mask clipped on his hair. "Hello there, Ms Licai! I'm assuming Sir Zhongli is in our usual room?"

"Oh, yes! I'll have Hongru escort you!"

He could see influential people inside the restaurant—clan heads, young lords, merchants. It was to be expected though, seeing as Liuli Pavilion was one of the top restaurants in the harbour. Being able to dine in without having a reservation was seen as done by the highest nobility.

Ah, the power of good money and reputation, Ajax mused, following the worker inside.

After a while, they stopped in front of a sliding door carved with the symbol of the Geo Archon as well as a small mural of him during the Archon War. Hongru knocked thrice and opened it, bowing to Ajax and then leaving.

Zhongli was in the midst of sipping a cup of steaming tea, posture poise and straight as if he was a statue that has come to life. He settled the cup down, opened his eyes and smiled at Ajax. "Childe, you have arrived," he welcomed.

The ginger laughed as he entered the room and closed the door behind him. "I see that you started the feast without me, Sir Zhongli!" He settled himself at the seat in front of the Geo Archon, eyes drawn to the plates of meal rested on the table. "Such a feast this is, Sir Zhongli! Surely you must view me as some sort of a glutton."

"Of course not, Childe. I merely heard how hard you have been working these past few days. So I wanted to treat you out to dinner to have you relax a bit. I apologise if my intention came out the wrong way."

This reminded Ajax of a scene in the game. When the Traveller was close to finishing all the tasks Zhongli had given them, hence he treated them to dinner and gave them a very important gift to commemorate the achievement.

"No worries, Sir Zhongli, I was merely jesting!" Ajax eyed the Noodles with Mountain Delicacies, mouth salivating at the smell. "Well then, let's not waste any more time and start eating—?!"

Ajax reached for the chopsticks laying beside his plate when Zhongli hurriedly caught his wrist. He blinked, bemused by the man's actions. It seemed as if Zhongli was caught off guard himself, there was a slight gold hue that reached the tips of his ears.

The Geo Archon coughed, apologising for his rudeness as he tried to salvage his image.

Cute, Ajax snickered. "What's wrong?" he asked, trying to ease his confusion despite his inner feelings.

"In commemoration of you working so hard these past few days, I have decided to buy you a gift," Zhongli answered, eyes not meeting his own."

Huh, doesn't that sound familiar.

"You could even consider it me paying you back for all the gifts you have brought me, Childe." Zhongli bought out a lean box, tied together with a golden ribbon. "I wanted to show that you, too, are an important person in my life."

Wait, isn't that—?!

"I do hope you like this gift of mine."

Numbly, Ajax reached out and took the box from Zhongli. He stared at it, hard. He was sure of what was inside, having seen the item numerous times in the game. But there was still a chance it was a different gift.

After all, he was the antagonist destined to be an outcast. Not the protagonist who became the hero.

Slowly, he untied the ribbon and opened the box. You have to be kidding me, he cried. Inside it was what he was expecting, a beautifully crafted pair of dragon and phoenix chopsticks adorned with golden linings and the Geo Symbol.

He gazed up at Zhongli to see him staring longingly at him. There was still a touch of gold hue on his ears but he was smiling at him. The same smile that should've been directed to the Traveller, definitely not him who would soon try to flood his nation.

"I—Uh—Ah—Thanks?" he managed to stammer out, feeling some heat entering his neck, cheeks and ears. He hide when he heard Zhongli let out an amused chuckle.

Damn, he knows that he knows what it meant.

Ajax didn't know what to do. On one hand, he was perplexed at the situation he somehow managed to land himself in while the other was wondering about the Traveller and their relationship with the man.

But he couldn't deny how his heart fluttered at the gift and the implications that it has. Nor the stupid smile on his face when he reached out to grab Zhongli's hand and kissed it.

Yeah, maybe being the villain wasn't all that bad after all.

(Sorry if it's bad. this is my first tumblr post)

[2.2] THE 4 PRAYERS CIRCLETS - Do They Foreshadow Genshin's Plot?

Originally tweeted on Nov. 19, 2021 (Version 2.2) https://twitter.com/celestiabyss/status/1461390916821069824

Celestia being secretive, people questioning the divine, the search for answers in "deep places", and other recurring themes - these are mentioned in the lore of 4 certain circlets that offer elemental resistances.

The 4 circlet sets are:

Prayers for Illumination

Prayers for Destiny

Prayers for Wisdom

Prayers to Springtime

The descriptions for each set are all pieces of the same puzzle: they seem to tell the story of ancient Teyvat and their ties with Celestia. Now let's dive in!

[Prayers for Illumination]

It seems that ancient Teyvat used to be in contact w/ Celestia, and used to be covered in "eternal ice" that begun to thaw. People could hear "revelations from the heavens" directly, and "envoys of the gods" were present. Who could be these envoys?

"It was a time of great prosperity, when all was left in the hands of such heavenly revelations."

The envoys said that "the world would soon enter a new and brighter age". The people wondered if these "wonderful times" might come to an end, but the envoys were silent about this.

Thus, the people chose a "chief priest" among them to search for answers in their behalf.

The chief priest was sent out into the "deep places of the world".

"To antediluvian ruins and long-buried altars of sacrifice, to seek answers and enlightenment..."

Going to ruins in search for answers...does this experience seem familiar to you? In our travels, we've consistently encountered mysterious underground ruins (Dragonspine, Tsurumi, etc.). Makes me wonder if underground areas will be endgame...

link to lia's original tweet: https://twitter.com/windflowerlia/status/1460683406388436993?s=20&t=J9U_xmonZdsMeiNcRw3ftQ

[Prayers for Destiny]

This circlet almost has the same story as Prayers for Illumination, but with extra stuff:

"elemental flows were smooth and well-ordered" (were the leylines ok in ancient times?)

"A hundred years of bounty were written in the stars..." (constellations?)

[Prayers for Wisdom]

This is where things get even more interesting! We now see the people questioning/challenging the Gods, and this is a recurring theme in Genshin (e.g. Khaenri'ah, Inazuma arc).

"Their prosperity brought pride and ambition, and the mind to question."

The people "questioned the heaven's authority, and schemed to enter the garden of gods." This angered the envoys of heaven, and the line that followed notably mentioned Eternity!

"For to question eternity was forbidden, For earth to challenge sky, inexpiable."

This makes me wonder if this is related to one of Ei's lines, "Only Eternity can bring us closer to the Heavenly Principles."

Witnessing the fall of Khaenri'ah, the death of Makoto, and other losses while purging "obstacles to progress" made her fear of loss even greater.

Ei then began to pursue Eternity, but hers is a "static" one (never-changing). She also gave up her Gnosis and cut off all ties with Celestia.

Although Ei's actions can be seen as rebellion against Celestia, she's not actively going against them. It seems more like "avoidance".

It also seems that Ei is "playing it safe". We still don't know what exactly are the Heavenly Principles, but to protect Inazuma, she's using Eternity to become closer to said principles. This is more like a "I don't want Inazuma to end up like Khaenri'ah" kind of situation.

The whole Celestia-getting-angry portion also reminds me of Dainsleif's lines about the Hydro Archon and the Tsaritsa from the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail.

Dainsleif said this about the Hydro Archon:

"The God of Justice lives for the spectacle of the courtroom, seeking to judge all other gods. But even she knows not to make an enemy of the divine."

This seems to be another hint that Celestia must not be angered.

Meanwhile, Dainsleif said this about the Tsaritsa:

"Her followers hope only to be on her side when the day of her rebellion against the divine comes at last."

In contrast to Ei, the Tsaritsa is actively going against Celestia (e.g. collecting the Gnoses).

But wait...the Tsaritsa doesn't seem to be the only one actively rebelling against Celestia right now. Yes we also have...the Abyss Twin!

"Until the Abyss has engulfed the thrones, my war with destiny will see no end..."

The Abyss Twin wants the Traveler to continue their journey and see the "true nature of this world".

It seems that for the Abyss Twin, reuniting can wait, and that "engulfing the thrones" is of urgent importance right now.

The Abyss Twin has already traveled Teyvat once, has more experience in Khaenri'ah, and is furious with Dainsleif for failing to protect Khaenri'ah. This seems to explain why they're siding with the Abyss.

Given that the Cataclysm happened 500 years ago, and that the Abyss Twin's pre-Cataclysm experience in Teyvat could be a lot different than the Traveler's experience now (factors such as differences in historical contexts and people they've met), I really wonder how the Abyss Twin concluded that the Traveler will also find the "true nature of this world" at the end of their journey, because their journey MIGHT BE different.

Unless...this is a case of "history repeats itself."

And with that, we move on to the lore of the last circlet!

[Prayers to Springtime pt. 1]

Like Prayers for Wisdom, Prayers to Springtime also mentions Eternity!

"All prosperity must someday end, But this does not mean that nothing is eternal. At the end of a cycle, the earth shall be renewed. Thus eternity is cyclical."

Eternity is cyclical...this is in contrast to Ei's "static eternity", but I speculate that "cyclical eternity" might be the new kind of eternity she will strive for.

In her story quest, Ei tries to think of a "new form of Eternity".

She realizes that while change is inevitable, there are also some things that don't change.

What could be a good way of showing that Eternity can CHANGE but can also be CONSTANT?

A CYCLE! It shows change AND repetition!

I've always wondered why Eternity was the 3rd ideal introduced to us. It was introduced so early, and the ideal itself is still Ei's WIP (work-in-progress).

But maybe this was intentional. Maybe like Ei's Eternity, our knowledge of Teyvat's possible cycle is still a WIP.

[Prayers to Springtime pt. 2]

It's interesting to see how the last paragraph of this circlet is the first paragraph of Prayers for Illumination. It now directly mentions Celestia, and once again mentions that the earth was covered in "unending ice".

Now that we've read the lore text of all 4 circlets, I want you all to read them in the same order:

Prayers for Illumination

Prayers for Destiny

Prayers for Wisdom

Prayers to Springtime

Does reading them feel like a cycle?

I also wonder if the "unending ice" symbolizes something...perhaps a major catastrophe/phenomenon?

For instance, we've learned of civilizations being wiped out (Khaenri'ah, Sal Vindagnyr, etc.). They're different civilizations, but I speculate that this stuff happens cyclically.

And now the ongoing question remains...what will happen to Teyvat this time?

What will everyone do? (Traveler, Abyss Twin, Archons, Fatui, etc.)

And whatever happens, what will be Celestia's response?

Is Teyvat truly stuck in a cycle of destruction and rebirth?

And that concludes the thread!

I apologize if the thread is messy and I'm just going in circles (pun intended). But I hope you've learned something from it!

There are topics related to this thread that I wanted to cover but I'm not that confident enough, especially when it comes to leyline, domain, and Dragonspine lore. So pls feel free to share your thoughts and link some stuff! I'd love to hear about other connections you've made between the 4 Prayers circlets and other pieces of lore! Thank you for reading!

[Supplementary vid for watching]

IslandXD released a video in early 2021 about the Cataclysm, and it also mentioned the Prayers Circlets!

Here's the link to the vid if u wanna watch it too: True Meaning of Cataclysm | Genshin Impact Theory EP.2

NOTE: Once again, this thread was originally tweeted in 2021! Some stuff here might already be outdated by the time you read them. This thread being transferred here on tumblr is for archiving purposes. It's for me to look back on how far Genshin lore and theories have come!

I like you [/p, unless you're Lumii, in which case /gay gay homosexual very much romantic], have some of my Genshin Impact Modern/College AU headcanons 👉👈

Content warnings: FLUFF!!!! Brief mentions of drugs a few times but no use is described in detail!

—Albedo and Sucrose were lab partners in high-school and they happen to have a few chem classes together, so they stick with who the know. Albedo is majoring in Advanced Chem [probably to be a teacher if I'm being honest] and Sucrose in Bio Chem

—Zhongli is a huge rock nerd, always has been. Geology major, with a minor in history because gramps knows a lot :skull: Hes one of the only archons I can see being a professor tbh

—Itto works at an arcade. Hmm, I wonder where all of his college tuition goes....I'm just kidding, or am I?

—Ajax does criminology, and has a big old interest on true crime cases. He loves listening to podcasts about both solved and unsolved cases

—The Fatui is just a frat house send tweet. No murder in my modern college au >:((((

—All the "teen" characters, like Bennett, Razor, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Collei, etc, they're all high-school students. Upperclassmen [juniors and seniors], like 17-19 years old

—Dori is like, this world's version of Jeffrey Bezos, change my mind

—Venti and Kazuha have done a duet before. Many times, actually. Venti has offered him a spot in his band, to which Kazuha politely declined. He likes the freedom of freelance artistry and doesn't like feeling tied down to something like a band. Also, yes Kazuha sounds like Cigarettes After Sex when he sings fight me just listen to some if their music and you'll understand where I'm coming from. Unless Mark Whitten can sing, in which case, I AM LOOKING MR.WHITTEN ONE OF MY FAVE ENG VAS. Venti's is, ofc, Erika because yes <3

—Cyno, Tignari, and Collei all live together with the former two being roomates and College buddies and Collei being adopted/taken in by them.

—Ayato was the student council president in high school and he's on the college leadership committee

—Ayaka, Yoimiya, and Kokomi are in a poly throuple because they would be cute together let's be honest here

—Ningguang and Beidou are high-school sweethearts and Kazuha is their roomie that they literally just adopted. Like, he settled in and they literally had him sign adoption papers......as an adult 😭😭😭😭

—I personally don't like/use the stoner Kazuha headcanon [but that's mainly because of my trauma with weed] but he does have Tomo's name tattooed on his ankle. He was like an older brother to him and he died in a freak accident

—Miko has to cook, otherwise Ei would burn their shared home down. She literally can't leave Ei alone 💀

—I see Gorou as a paleontologist for some reason. Dunno, just got the vibes

—Nahida was valedictorian in high-school and probably will graduate college with even higher honors than what she got in high-school. Smart bean yes yes

—Teyvat is the name of the college, the 7 nations are the seven areas/halls (like Mondstadt would be the arts hall, Sumeru would be the science hall, Liyue would be history, etc etc)

—Kazuha works as a botanist and is also a freelance musician! His major is Environmental Science and he's definitely an activist

—Heizou definitely goes into a Criminal Justice and Law and he probably has some sort of internship related to that.

—Venti is obviously a music major, like, is that even a question? Of course he's got a and and of course he does gigs.

—Xiao gives me the vibes of a Criminal Justice major too, what with his demon conquering and all. Imaging him and Heizou in a class together omfg-

—Heizou was in a debate club in high school, and he got his team through the championships, winning them first place. He still has the medallion hanging up in his room, along with the picture of his team holding him up as he was holding up the trophy.

—While Heizou has a lot of intellect and intuition, he's not as emotionally intelligent as others. He struggles with communicating and knowing when to stop a joke because he can't take a hint that he's actually being mean and the person doesn't like it 😭 If you've seen TBHK, he's kinda similar to how Hanako was in the Confession Tree episode. He doesn't do it on purpose, but he can be so mean when he's teasing [how did my general Heizou headcanon make it into the modern au batch- oh, well]

—Kazuha scrapbooks and does photography as a hobby, along with his poetry and carving. I also see him doing fencing. High society kid things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

—Heizou always helps out any of his friends with self defense lessons. He's always looking out for them and making sure they're safe. You can trust him to watch your drink and you best bet that he's caught guys trying to roofie drinks and made sure they regret their life choices <3

—Kokomi and Marine Biology??? Hell YEAH!!! I also can see her being a professional mermaid for a side job. Tbh, that's right up her alley. She's also always got her nose in a book studying, even when she's out on a date with her girlfriends! >:o Put the book down and pay attention to your girlfriends girlie!!!

—All of the anemo users were band and/or kids in high school, come on. It's the trauma that got it written all over them for me💀 No I'm not projecting my feelings as a band kid onto my favorite element sh-shut up-! Chongyun also strikes me as a band kid and Xingqiu a theater kid, and yes he teases Chongyun for being in band
