Let's be real, hyv is scared of bipoc and strong, thick, muscular and/or fat women. The variety we get in the male models is insane but we only have short and skinny woman or tall and skinny woman with huge boobs. It's one of my biggest gripes with genshin and makes me feel even worse when you've got characters like Candace, Beidou, and Dehya that look like that.

Thank god the fan artists come through and give them the body types we all know they have. Also I'm sorry I'm blowing up your inbox I just have very strong feelings on this --

DEADASS. especially the representation in sumeru?????? it’s so frustrating that consumers of the game tell them, over and over, that they want more representation in the game and over and over it’s ignored. hoyo has been in the industry long enough and it is enough of an international company that representation should be something they take seriously and answer to. but they don’t, because they stick with the same dry formula that sells.

it’s the same with the female designs. they keep putting them in near-lingerie and don’t bother giving them decent backstories because they know people will whale for them because they’re hot. i get it, they’re a company and the point is to make revenue, but it is so frustrating that they don’t listen to such a large portion of their consumers.

and it is such a shame because it really is a beautiful storyline. it’s so clear they put so much effort into the research and weaving all the plot lines together. but then a massive chunk of their characters are just after thoughts and it absolutely puts a shadow over everything they’ve built.

#even if they were a small company it’s no excuse #they KNOW #they just don’t care because they know they’ll make sales regardless #it’s so frustrating #every survey is just me going off about this lmaoo #i don’t understand their thought process that was like #wow let’s make a world based loosely on real countries!!!#and then everyone is pale skinned????#when i saw kaeya at the beginning of the game i had so much hope #but getting POC characters is like pulling teeth #even in fucking sumeru???#it doesn’t make any sense #when i saw nahida i genuinely thought it was a joke

scaramouche x male! reader

Part 3: lost in conversation.

masterlist previous next

tw: mentions of dysphoria and cursing (tell me if I missed anything!

(Y/N) sighed, checking his watch again for the 5th time in the last 7 minutes. (Y/N) knew that he was 15 minutes early but as he told his friends, he didn't want to stay home for longer. He wiped his hands on the skirt, forced to wear it but honestly the dysphoric thoughts weren't too loud once he had actually put it on. He heard the door of the little cafe chime and looked up to see Scaramouche.

(Y/N) shot his hand up, waving it in a manner which could be considered crazy. He put it down when Scaramouche nodded at him, nervously straightening his skirt more and more. His eyes followed Scaramouche as he came to the booth near the window and sat down.

“Can you give me a minute? I need to text Nahida that I reached here safely. She worries for no reason.” Scaramouche mumbled, his fingers already typing furiously on the screen.

(Y/N) watched as Scaramouche took off his mask and felt his heart skip a beat. Honestly, after learning that they were meeting, (Y/N) had stalked him a bit. But beauty isn't shown properly through a phone screen. Scaramouche was the kind of person that (Y/N) wanted to be and also wanted to be with. He had an air of confidence surrounding him that made (Y/N)’s head spin.

(Y/N) broke out of his trance when he heard fingers snapping in front of him. His eyes refocused to look at Scaramouche's long sleek fingers waving in front of his face. Red bloomed across his face, once he realized he was accidentally staring at the purple haired boy in front of him.

“Take a picture, it'll last longer.” Scaramouche said, a smirk playing on his lips.

(Y/N) became more red and cleared his throat, hoping to get rid of the redness he was sure was starting to show.

“Right… my flash drive?” (Y/N) said, his leg bouncing up and down. The flash drive held his most kept secret. If anyone who knew him saw the character he had created, they'd instantly know that it was him. Silas was everything (Y/N) wanted to be.

“Oh! Right. Here.” Scaramouche said, digging into his bag and taking out the drive.

“Honestly speaking, I did see a few things because I tried to see who you were and I have to say… My god, if Silas isn't the best character I've ever read.” Scaramouche says, turning the flash drive over and over in his hands.

(Y/N)’s head snapped, his eyes and ears not believing what he was hearing. Someone had read and actually liked his character? Without poking holes in it? Scaramouche had to be joking.

“Are you just playing with me? Because like that's shitty to do. You may not like the character but don't just mock me about it.” (Y/N) mumbled, snatching the drive from Scaramouche's hand and hastily putting it in his pocket. He got up to leave, being done with the work that he was here for and was quite mad about what Scaramouche had done.

“Wait no! I didn't mean to sound like I was mocking you. I was being truthful! I didn't mean it in a mean way. I genuinely like the characters you've made. If I didn't I wouldn't be here. Please sit down.” Scaramouche rushed to speak, eyes wide once he saw that (Y/N) was going to leave. He sighed in relief when (Y/N) sat down, eyeing the purple haired boy suspiciously.

“Do you really like them? The characters, I mean.” Scaramouche nodded, his eyes earnest. (Y/N)’s eyes lit up, finally having someone to talk to about his characters. His friends didn’t know yet because he was afraid of them judging him and leaving him like his previous friends. Aether knew about Raj and Alex (or also known as ‘They who should not be named.’) and knew about the trust issues and other troubles that (Y/N) had after they had left.

“Are you going to write a story based on Silas?” Scaramouche asked. (Y/N)) bit his lip in thought. He had wanted to but he was procrastinating a lot. It also didn't help when he had started to question himself once more.

(Y/N) shook his head. “I haven’t really thought about it. I mean, I've written like headcanons about Silas and future love interest but nothing in writing.”

Scaramouche nodded thoughtfully, “Would you consider ever writing? I could be your beta of sorts. If you want, of course.”

(Y/N) snickered when he heard the word beta leave Scaramouche's mouth. He knew what Scaramouche meant but the word has had so many implications in the past 2 years that (Y/N) had to laugh.

He shook his head when he saw the offended look on Scaramouche’s face.

“NO! I didn't mean to laugh but you have to know how that sounds. I mean, I personally think I’m an alpha but you do you, I guess.” (Y/N) said, a teasing smile on his face as he notices recognition seeping into Scaramouche’s face. He laughed, covering his face with his hand as the disgust took over Scaramouche’s face.

“Please. I have personal vendetta over the entire omegaverse shit. Like people can like whatever they like of course but for an entire fucking year, Childe went around saying what alphas should do and how i was a “sigma male” because i have coloured hair and pronouns. Which is so hypocritical because he himself has coloured hair and a fucking boyfriend. Like make sense.” Scaramouche said exasperatedly. He smiled at (Y/N) when his entire spiel had made him laugh, a sound that he found quite ethereal.

“Childe sounds so much like my friend Kaeya. They would get together and that would cause so much chaos. Kaeya once told my dad on his face that if i was his child, i would’ve flourished so much but then looked at my mom and made a disgusted face and said that he would not want to be my father because then that would mean that he would have to fuck my mom and he would rather fuck a cactus.” (Y/N) said, recalling the memory and his father’s face. It was very hilarious and it was only intensified with his mother's scandalized gasp.

Neither Scaramouche nor (Y/N) realized how much time had passed. Enjoying their little conversation, staying inside their own bubble and being lost in conversation.

Wanderer x fem! reader. SFW. April Fool's Day Special. Soft Wanderer at end.

a/n: I didn't expect to write this cause I actually forgot today was April Fool's Day lol. But, this popped into my head and I thought, why not. Enjoy.

Today was April Fool's Day.

So, Wanderer decided to play an April Fool's Day joke on you.

It was a cruel joke.

One he roped a reluctant, hesitant and very scolding Nahida into helping him with. Wanderer had to make it believable and Nahida was the only one who could make that happen.

What he didn't expect was for your reaction.

Wanderer set the wheels in motion earlier that morning, kissing you goodbye and telling you that he was going to check Irminsul for Nahida, and that he wouldn't be back until way later.

You understood that Wanderer would be away for hours and went about your day. Until a very upset, somber Nahida turned up at your doorstep.

When you answered the door, dread filled you. You'd never seen Nahida look like this before. She looked crestfallen and sad, barely being able to look at you.

"Y/N...I'm sorry, but," Nahida trailed off, "something happened to Wanderer while he was checking on Irminsul for me. Monsters attacked and I..I couldn't save him. I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened."

In her head, Nahida was screaming an apology to you over and over again. She didn't approve of this prank. She'd only gone along with it because she wanted Wanderer to witness how you would react and let it sink in.

She could hardly stand to see how you looked right now. She could practically feel your whole heart shattering to pieces.

"Where is he? I need to see him? I need to see him, Nahida. Please.." You pleaded, tears burning in your eyes.

Nahida nodded and said she would take you to him. You followed her, barely being able to grasp where you were or where she was taking you.

Wanderer could hear you coming. He could practically feel your confusion. And he was so proud of himself for thinking up this prank that he didn't even see your tears at first.

"April Fool's Day! Did you really take this seriously?" Wanderer jested, coming out of hiding from a room in a hospital wing in Sumeru." His smirk was one for the ages.

"Wh-What is this? Nahida, this was all..all a joke?" You voice wobbled, a sob cracking through your voice.

"Y/N, I am so sorry..I didn't want to go along with this, but Wanderer needs to learn his lesson and I used you to do it. Please, forgive me," Nahida said, knowing she deserved it if you were angry with her.

She was angry at herself for doing this for Wanderer.

You brushed tears away.

Wanderer's eyes widened.

Wait?

You were crying.

....

You weren't supposed to cry.

"It's okay, Nahida. I'm not mad at you," You said, brushing away tears, a genuinely relieved smile on your face, but there was something else in your eyes too.

And that was anger.

Anger Wanderer now knew he deserved.

You walked over to Wanderer, your eyes red from crying and looked up at him.

Wanderer waited.

Your slap echoed.

"You! How could you?! How could you put me through that, you jerk?!" You said, new tears spilling from your eyes.

"Look, I..I didn't think you would..you know I am not human, right," Wanderer said. Please forgive this boy. He really was trying to say he was sorry. Reaching out, he stroked a hand through your hair before putting it on the back of your head.

He pulled you into his arms, resting your head on his chest, knowing you would hate it if he saw you crying and he sure was hell couldn't stand to see you cry, so he didn't want to see it either.

"I know you aren't human, but the possibility is always there, Wanderer. Isn't you who said not even the wind has complete and total freedom?" You said, punching him gently in the shoulder before wrapping your arms around him.

Wanderer rested his chin on top of your head before nuzzling his cheek against the top of your head.

"Losing you is the one thing I fear the most, Wanderer. My whole world fell apart. I could feel the motivation to live leaving my soul. The one person I love the most in this world, the one who has my heart had died. I really believed you had."

Ouch.

That one hurt. Wanderer really felt like an asshole. The biggest jerk in the world.

"Don't ever do that to me again, okay?" You finished, clinging to him.

"I won't. I shouldn't have done it in the first place. I was incredibly inconsiderate of your feelings." You know Wanderer was saying he was sorry. You could hear it in his voice.

Nahida was very satisfied with Wanderer's reaction.

He really has come a long way.
