What do you mean “if I have an AU I want to make comics for, I actually have to make the designs and draw the comics???” Why can’t I just magically manifest them into existence??? Anyways, here’s some KevinSu fam and MobiKlein fam designs and concepts for a “Flame Chasers + whoever else is convenient for me get reborn into Genshin and slowly regain their memories from Honkai” AU

Mobius and Klein were Tanit scholars/doctors

(OG Klein is the one on the far left btw. I know I changed a lot of her design elements and I’m not sure how clear that is, so I’m just specifying here. Also, it’s on the side of her belt so idk how well y’all can see it, but she has a hydro vision)

They left the tribe pretty early on (if you’ve played that quest™️, you know why. If you don’t, I’m not gonna spoil it here)

They also left so Mobi could investigate the withering and see if it might have any connections to the Honkai/ see if there was any chance of the Honkai leaking into Teyvat

Klein never got her Honkai memories back, but she still fell in love with Mobi anyways and they’re still lab partners. Mobi got her memories back fairly early on

Klein got Eleazar, so they decided to move from the desert to Sumeru city to seek better medical treatment

She’s fine now and made it through the end of the arcon quest, so she got cured 👍

Mobi is a professor at the academia

Her students are terrified of her

So usual Mobius shenanigans

Being a professor also put her in a position where she’s closer to Irminsul, so she’s content with the situation

The matra know damn well she’s continuing her artificial life experiments, but they can’t prove shit so she’s in the clear

Alhaitham was the first successful clone baby she made, Klein jr was the second

The thing Elysia did to Su’s arm stuck through the reincarnation, so Su got his memories back very early on

He grew up on the same block as Fu Hua over in Liyue harbor, but she didn’t get her memories back until her late teens

Su grew up hearing a lot of stories about the chasm, and he was worried that it might have something to do with the Honkai

But he didn’t actually have the clearance to investigate that, so had to go to Sumeru Academia to get the research clearance only to find out about Eleazar and the Withering and get significantly more anxious

Imagine his face after being told he has to go through med school again lmao (at least there’s legitimately different illnesses and treatments in Teyvat, so he does have something new to learn)

Anyways, he ran into Mobi and Kevin at the Academia

Kevin grew up in Mondstad and got his memories back in his early 20s. He moved to Sumeru city because he thought it’d be the place with highest chance of him running into someone he knows so that they can explain wtf is going on

Kevin and Su got married somewhere along the way I guess, but that’s not important right now

Anyways, Mobius basically stole their genes off their clothes or something so she wouldn’t have to use any of Klein’s in the prototypes for her experiments

Alhaitham was the first successful artificial life she made and she just sorta handed him off to Kevin and Su and they both sorta just “aight, guess we have a kid now”

Mobius still got to be his grandma though and watched him a lot while Kevin and Su (well, Su mostly. Kevin was there more as a bodyguard) were off doing research in the chasm (which is why Alhaitham is the way he is)

#honkai impact #genshin impact #what this AU totally isn’t an excuse to point out signs that the Honkai is leaking into Genshin what are you talking about #this is a reminder that all Irminsul trees in Teyvat are connected and part of the same tree (read: the imaginary tree probably)#so I don’t want to see a single ‘um actually- none of this is related at all’#especially since this is mostly me having fun with an AU fanfic #but ya interesting that the things plaguing Sumeru (a nation named after tech from Honkai) are withering and a disease that transforms peopl #this is a reminder that Honkai roughly translates to ‘decay’#Klein: a girl so boobless and assless you could skip her like a prized stone #ya I ignore the canon models a lot and y’all are just gonna have to get use to that #no mantis genes here so Mobi and Klein are just old here #they’re both between 40-60 #Klein looks a bit older though cuz chronic illness is a bitch and ages you #I’d be so happy if I got any asks about this AU ngl #honkai su #kevin kaslana #alhaitham #honkai mobius #Honkai Klein

A little about Dokuro family, and a bit about the world of this story.(OC)

Dokuro is a family that must work as watchmakers for 100 generations and protect Irminsul from the Worms of Nothingness because of the deal with Irminsul.

Irminsul - The tree into the nowhere. Looks like a balloon. It is not clear where it came from or how, but each branch of this tree is a world (canon) from each branch leaves grow and then they are transforming into new branches (AU). The tree grows forever. The basis(the core) is the "our" world, no one from outside can get there. Watchmakers are the function of the tree to regulate its growth and care. They are creatures created by the tree. Worms of Nothingness are the timeless dead worlds and creatures from them.

Branches of the tree (history) - worlds what is created by the minds of people from the "our" world, acquires a real shell as a brunch and nourishes Irminsul so that it doesn't disappear (I think it is possible to say that Irminsul lives on the imagination of those people who live in its core). Each story goes on its own track. Which means a thoughtful plot. The task of watchmakers is to give stories the opportunity to grow and be finished (mostly to reach the intended end). Nonexistent worms eat the important for the plot things and the task of watchmakers is not to let Nothing-worms eat the world/ if the world is eaten, then guide it in another way (that is why stories can have strange twists of the plot)/follow the story to the end (though sometimes they are idiotic). The more the franchise is, the more it’s worth protecting, because Irminsul will get more nutrients from it. But don't forget about small ones, because corrosion begins with small. If the author doesn't have a clear plot/world/character structure, then they will be very weak to resist the nothing-worms. The Nothing-worms aspire to the main branches (canon), the small ones (au) protect it. First the worms pass through Au, and then proceed to the canon. It’s the watchmakers' job to stop them.

Nothing-worms (Worms of Nothingness, what fool coined this name?) - the remnants of vanished worlds that fused together. Driven by the desire to return to the original state, therefore devour living worlds. Practically have no consciousness.

Chronologists (in the common people - watchmakers) - the union subordinate to Irminsul, monitor the course of stories, protect the stories from the Nothing-worms, correct the stories devoured by the Nothing-worms, evacuate those stories that can no longer be corrected.

Dokuro En and Dokuro Mina, survivors of one of the eaten worlds, became watchmakers because they concluded that this was a best way to protect themselves and their family (what was left of it). Made a deal with Irminsul, and now a hundred generations (including themselves) need to work as watchmakers to protect Irminsul, and in return the tree gives them the strength and the ability to protect their family.

The Plot - there is no plot yet, but it is likely to be a collection of stories about the lives of some characters from these 100 generations.

#oc #Dokuro family #so Dokuro family AU is about multiverse where my OC'es play one of the main role and travel between a lot of stories to regulate them #and some characters from this stories became the part of the family trough the adoption or birth #Mina is really greedy character she wants interesting characters become her children or grandchildren #and this desire permeates 100 generations after her #people write their characters into canon #and I write other characters into my canon #my english is still suck #reverso context is my blessing #Worms of Nothingness? who have no taste in naming? I have no taste in naming #I also have no ideas how to name the three so just named it Irminsul as the tree full of information #genshin corrupted my brain

I know who you pretend I am

sypnosis: in which scaramouche sees his deceased lover in you

warnings: angst, established relationship, no comfort, fem reader

you couldn’t begin to imagine how you found yourself in this.. position. being the famed balladeers lover. through his harsh remarks, you found a broken, sometimes gentle, man. you did your best to mend his heart when tears would escape his eyes deep in the night. another nightmare, he’d always whisper as he hugged your form from behind. of course you’d console him. he was your lover after all. but a few times, admist his tears and sleepy eyes, he’d call out another name. a name you didn’t recognize.

“mia.. don’t go..”

your nose would scrunch up every time you heard his calls for a woman you didn’t know. who was she to him?

so today you sought out nahida, the one who would hold the answers to your questions. the anxiety gnawing at your bones as you met her in the big green room you’d usually see her speaking with scaramouche in.

you held onto the strap of your satchel, slowly approaching her as you bow.

“lesser lord kusanali, i request answers to my questions that have been troubling me for quite some time. it pertains to your scholar, scaramouche. though, i’m aware he wouldn’t like me prodding in his past.. i just need to know. please.”

nahida nodded, understanding your predicament as well as the very reason you came to her today.

“very well. i shall grant you your request.”

you were transported to irminsul, a bright glowing tree stood before you as you heard nahida’s instructions. you silently pleaded for his forgiveness before touching the tree.

suddenly you were in a room you couldn’t recognize. scaramouche laid on a futon, dressed in clothes you didn’t recognize. a white yukata and a purple garb covering his head, his eyes closed.

“kabuki! are you awake?”

your head snapped to the door where a sweet voice called for scaramouche. her (h/c) locks framing her face, swishing with her movements as she kneeled by scaramouches side. you eerily took notice at how.. similar she looked like you. her hair the same color as yours, styled similarly to how you would do your hair, her features were even similar to yours..

“creepy..” you mumbled to yourself as you watched scaramouche wake up. he rubs his eyes tenderly, slow blinks as he looks at the girl who resembles you.

“mia! you’re back!”

he throws his arms around her, embracing her in a way he’d never embraced you. jealousy knots in your throat as he pulls back from the hug, staring up at her owlishly. perhaps they were just friends? that would make you feel better about this whole ordeal if that’s all it was. so they must be! right?

you watch as scaramouche’s cheeks tint pink before he leans up and plants his lips against hers. her hand gently cups his cheek as they deepen the kiss.

shock bubbles through you. they were lovers? why hadn’t he ever mentioned her? you leave the memory before you can see anymore, thanking nahida for her help as you briskly leave.

tears well up in your eyes, blurring your vision as you run to scaramouche’s office. you only had one burning question in your mind now.

is it me? or is it her you’re seeing?

you didn’t bother knocking, throwing open the doors as his scowl meets your eyes.

“(y/n)? what are you doing here? are you that—“

“you miss mia? don’t you scara?”

his eyes widen at the name. mia? how did you find out about her?

“mia ? who’s mia? what are you blabbering about now?”

he’s lying and you can see it, the way he looks to the side, not meeting your eyes. you scoff, coming up to his desk as you slam your hands down in front of him.

“kabuki right? i saw you both when i went to your memories in irminsul. don’t lie to me scaramouche. don’t you dare.

i know how you call out for her in the night. i saw how you looked at her. just..” you sighed out shakily, tears brimming your eyes once again.

“do you see her when you look at me?”

“i do. that’s the sole reason why i’m with you.”

you slowly back away, holding your hands to your chest as you stare into his cold, unwavering stare.

“you resemble her, you’re just like her. i love her through you, though it’s been hundreds of years. the way you react to things i do is the same as she once did. but she was.. more gentle than you are. that’s why i lose my patience with you so often. you can’t play your role well enough.”

he scoffs, leaning back in his chair and waving his hand.

“if you’re no longer interested then i’d suggest you leave.”

without a word, you leave his office as his words ring in your ear. your whole relationship was a lie. none of it was real, nothing, not even for a second. you couldn’t have been her, you were your own person. how could someone that no longer breathes still win his heart? you had been there with him through so much, and she only for a brief moment of his life?

angry tears leaked from your eyes as you took your few belongings from your shared home. if he didn’t want you for you, then he could rot alone. you left without leaving a note. every trace of you gone.

scaramouche came home to an empty house that night, the cold sheets he laid in a reminder of what he had done. curling up into a ball, tears in his lashes as he called out your name.

taglist; @samarill @kaoriee

Please go in depth on how you think wanderer isn't much of a red flag as he is now! I agree with you for sure, but I love hearing people's takes on him! Personally, I think scaramouche would definitely be a huge red flag, but I think as he is now, he'd definitely be really loving and caring towards his s/o

OF COURSE I CAN DO THAT!!!!

Scaramouche himself is definitely a very big red flag. From his ties with the fatui, murderous/abusive (to his subordinates) behaviour and as well as his rude manner of speech. He definitely isn’t the most pleasant person you’d want to date.

but Wanderer on the other hand is completely different. And because of this he is a much bigger green flag than Scaramouche and im genuinely so sick of people grouping them in together when he even said himself in game that he doesn’t want to be anymore.

So im gonna go over his green flags (more under the cut!)

1. Animals like him – He likes animals.

Wanderer is actually portrayed with animals in a lot of his official art (or aranaras), specifically birds and cats

His 2023 and 2024 birthday arts are literally just him chilling with animals. In 2023 he’s chilling with a bird and in 2024 he’s with a bunch of cats.

It’s not like he hates it either. sure it may seem like he does sometimes but he really doesn’t

-In his character demo he may have swatted the bird away when it came back at the end, but at the beginning he was completely fine with having it on him as he was walking. He probably only swatted it away because it was flying in his face when he was already annoyed with having to fight those fatui.

These two images are just him chilling with birds. The second one he even lets on his hand and HES SMILING he literally loves animals like they’re bffs in that picture ITS SO CUTE 😭😭

You can’t even argue that he’s only soft towards animals when he’s alone because of the scenario in his 2024 birthday art where the traveler meets him in the tree when he’s cuddling with the cats. It’s not like he’s even embarrassed or annoyed about them being there he’s just chilling with them!!!!! Sure he did tell the tabby cat off for playing with his vision BUT HE CALLED THEM FLUFFBALLS BEFOREHAND!!!! THATS A WORD THAT WOULDVE NEVER COME OUT OF SCARAMOUCHE’S MOUTH EVER!!!!! AND HE EVEN PROMISED TO PLAY WITH THE CATS LATER!!!!!! The white and grey cat also just lounging on his leg knocked out completely defenceless is also a sign. cats are usually very alert when they try and sleep unless they’re CERTAIN that they’re safe. and look me in my eyes and try to tell me that that cat isn’t feeling 100% safe sleeping on his leg.

This isn’t even his only appearance with cats minus him being portrayed as a cat. he has a chibi birthday art from 2023 that’s just him and a cat hanging out with a birthday present

The second piece of dialogue might make him look mad but the art literally proves it otherwise he’s just confused LMAO there is not a single angry wrinkle on his face nope NOTHING!!!!

2. His development with the Traveler

Wanderer’s attitude stayed around the same since he regained him memories, but it isn’t as bad as when he was Scaramouche. It’s very evident from how he talks to the Traveler before going to Irminsul and while they’re there for some time and then how he talks after regaining his memories. It’s much softer and he isn’t biting as much. Hell, he even asks the Traveler to give him a new name when he could’ve asked Nahida to or waited awhile before asking.

In his voicelines he’s still the same. Though the birthday one is something I’d like to focus on the most.

“Give me your hand. Heh, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just taking you to a vantage point.”

“How is it? The scenery here should be quite breathtaking. There's no need to thank me — I see little point in it.”

Wanderer went out of his way to do that for the Traveler on their birthday. He could’ve just barked that he doesn’t need to do anything for their birthday or that he doesn’t care or that they’re still enemies so he doesn’t need to celebrate it but he still does something nice for the Traveler regardless!!!Him initiating physical contact just to take them to a vantage point and reassuring the Traveler because they’re nervous is something he CHOOSES to do.

Now, I’ve always thought that he was flying the Traveler to the vantage point, but now that im rereading the line it literally doesn’t even mention him flying so LMAO

BUT ITS STILL SWEET IN BOTH WAYS

-He’s going out of his way to FLY the Traveler to the vantage point. And if he’d have to fly them there then obviously there’d be more physical contact than hand holding. That means he’s completely fine with having the Traveler in his personal space like that, so obviously he trusts them a lot more now to a certain degree!!!

-If he’s not flying to the vantage point, he’s still initiating physical contact with the Traveler even though he doesn’t have to.

LIKE OMG?????

In his birthday art scenarios, he’s completely fine with the Traveler hanging out with him. HE EVEN ASKS THEM TO STAY WITH HIM FOR A WHILE IN THE 2023 ONE IF THEY DONT MIND!!!!!

I feel like the 2023 one does a good job with explaining him and the Travelers enemies to friends (to lovers— GUNSHOTS) pipeline. He calls them meeting on his birthday a coincidence and gets ready to leave, but he’s completely fine with the Traveler not wanting to leave!!!! And when he asks them to stick around with him that’s clearly showing what he wanted the WHOLE GODDAMN TIME!!!!!!!

The 2024 chibi art scenario one is just them enjoying each other’s company. His regular birthday art for this year is kind of the same too. It shows how now neither of them dislike the other’s company, they’re fine with each other and they dont complain about it, no nothing!!!!!!

His Teapot lines are (OBVIOUSLY) the best examples of how he is when he fully trusts someone though.

Here’s a list of the things he does that are a complete 180 to how many people expected him to be:

-He apologises more often

-Criticises himself for criticising the empty spots in your teapot

-Perfectly fine with chatting whenever

-Despite saying to the Traveler that they should start the conversation because he has nothing fun or positive to share, he still dominates the conversation by talking about his tea preferences and how he came to like drinking tea in the first place

-Perfectly fine with sharing a meal with the Traveler that they prepared just for him

His goodnight line is really sweet too. Thanking the Traveler for looking out for him and telling them to go get rest. Like that’s so sweet 😭😭😭😭

I really do hope that he gets more plot relevancy in an event or in another archon quest because I really want to see more of his relationship with the Traveler now. They’re just so UGHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭

3. His behaviour towards other people

It’s not even just the Traveler that he’s nice to. He’s nice to other characters too!!!!

In A Parade of Providence he’s shown being nice to Layla and Tighnari

-He helps Layla by offering her advice when he overhears about her anxiety to participate in the swiftflies

-Gives the Traveler a water-skin to give to Tighnari because he fainted in the desert. Despite providing snarky comments about how fragile humans are to extreme environments he still goes out of his way to help Tighnari when he could’ve ignored what was going on to win.

I really hope we get some more interactions with Wanderer and the Sumeru cast because wtf!!!!! Why not!!!!!

In his 2024 birthday letter he mentions that his classmates surprised him for his birthday with a cake. And instead of being mostly annoyed about how they disturbed his peace and quiet, he’s more concerned about why they would even want to celebrate his birthday in the first place which is actually sad 💔

Wanderer doesn’t even seem to hate participating in events and things with other people either. In his 2023 birthday letter he mentions that he was dragged into a cooking interest group by a couple of students, and despite the fact that he could’ve just left or told them he didn’t want to participate or scared them off, he still participated in cooking with them.

As well as learning from an old merchant how to sew and stitch to recreate the tiny doll the boy from his past had made him. It specifically mentions that he went to visit Treasures Street to learn how to make toys, so this wasn’t just some run in he had, he CHOSE to learn how to make a doll so he could recreate that one. He even takes it with him while he travels and it notes how it feels like a travel companion to him 😭😭 AND THE ENDING PART OF THE TINY DOLL STORY

“"From today, you shall wander together with me."”

“He said softly, placing it in his pocket.”

LIKE THATS SO SWEET 😭😭😭😭

SO!!!! How would all of this impact him having a romantic relationship??

If you manage to become friends with him, it’s definitely going to take awhile to break down his walls. But in that time he’s definitely going to be snarky, but not outright rude to you. He’ll probably just get more annoyed if anything about being bothered a bit more frequent than he’d like, though he’d probably never say that towards you.

As you break down those walls though, he’s definitely going to soften overtime and he won’t mind your company. At some point he’ll probably be actively seeking it out.

And when you get together with him. He’s definitely gonna be loving and caring towards you!!!! Honestly I think his love languages are Physical Touch and Quality Time so he’s definitely going to seek those out from you, preferably mushing the two together.

Overall, in the beginning he’s probably going to be more tsundere-ish (ew… im never using that term again after this…) towards you but eventually with enough dedication from you he’ll break down his walls and let you in and show you his softer side.

And that’s why I think that Wanderer is more of a green flag than a red flag

Thank you for coming to my ted talk it’s 2am and I have therapy in the morning so uh whoops!!!!

If anyone wants to add anything please feel free too!!! It’s always nice hearing what other people have to say (as long as ur not rude about it)

#scaramouche #wanderer #genshin #genshin impact #genshin scaramouche #genshin wanderer #sorry if it seems choppy I did this on a whim #also I have learnt my lesson to not write everything exclusively on tumblr and then go back to look at other things because I accidentally—#deleted my progress for some of this because it didn’t save when I went to go find the images 😭😭😭😭#wanderer I love you

Theory About Who Has the Gnosis

My theory about who presently has the Hydro Gnosis, and who the true Hydro Archon is, is that it's...still Furina, actually. Just not the Furina we've been interacting with so far.

"Okay what the hell are you on about now, Glass--" So glad you asked, dearest darling readers!

So one thing I've been utterly obsessed with in Genshin is how every Archon(except Zhongli) has a dead doppelganger that makes them depressed. Venti has the Nameless Bard(modeled his form based off them), Ei has Makoto(identical twins), Nahida has Rukkhadevata(used the same model when they finally got to speak with each other, adult Rukkhadevata looked like an older Nahida)

So this sets up for Furina, Murata, and the Tsaritsa possibly having their own doppelgangers. As such my theory is that Furina's doppelganger is actually currently still alive, and is the holder of the Gnosis. Furthermore, it is actually Furina's memories of the Gnosis and certain knowledge required for being and acting like an Archon 'given consciousness'. This other-Furina (we'll just call THIS one Focalors to prevent confusion) is probably also the one who's been gathering Indemnitum and figuring out plans to deal with the Prophecy while our Furina keeps the populace calm and entertained, hence why Furina is so confident that she can deal with the prophecy, to the point the Traveler doesn't think she's putting on an act anymore, but can't actually answer any of Arlecchino's questions during the Archon Quest. That was her 'original, complete self' briefly shining through.

As for how such a thing is possible...Furina actually strikes me as pretty competent, if anxious and insecure, when she sets her mind to something, and seems to have some sort of specialty in information gathering. She's good enough at it that she's the first Archon to figure out where the Traveler is going, and set agents to inform her of our arrival so she can make a grand entrance literally minutes after we entered her nation--without Archon powers. It's also very interesting how, despite how Makoto and Rukkhadevata have left things behind, the things they leave behind tend to be restricted to their nations. They even both died within their nations But the place where Egeria died...is in Sumeru. Just within the border, yeah. And it does do a lot of work in setting up Fontaine lore to hype us up. But...it feels a little weird to me that Egeria didn't die within Sumeru.

I wonder if it's a hint that shortly after becoming an Archon, but before Rukkhadevata's death, Furina asked Rukkhadevata to use the Irminsul Tree to help her with something--namely, to help her pull off the ultimate performance. I think that Furina might be the ultimate method actor--what better way of hiding one's Gnosis and disguising one's true plans, after all, than wiping your own memories so that, even if someone interrogates you you can't give up your Gnosis' location or what's necessary for your plans, and even if you're killed by an assassin capitalizing on the opportunity, 'another you' can keep working away at all the issues, and everyone now knows there's someone after the Archon/Gnosis.

Of course, this does mean that Furina's plan may have backfired a little. If this is true, then she's a great decoy...but she's also got a self-inflicted inferiority complex, and is so afraid of admitting that she's weak, confused, and helpless that she can't even admit to Neuvilette someone made an attempt on her life.

I already talked once about Furina, Ei, and Nahida all being foils for each other, where they end up isolated due to being in the shadow of their predecessors, and feeling they're not equipped to do a good job. But if this is true, and Furina created a Focalors-doppelganger, then Furina is also standing in the shadow of her own self. It'd also be incredibly interesting if, while Nahida had to erase memories to move out from Rukkhadevata's shadow, Furina has to regain them--and it'd also have some interesting implications about why Rukkhadevata chose to erase herself, too. Because maybe she got the idea from someone else...

"This is all well and good, but wait, where's Focalors then?"

Ah, this one I actually think most people have already guessed correctly. What's a machine that creates and gathers indemnitum, that's powered by a belief in justice, which Furina supposedly built but doesn't seem to understand(anymore), which apparently spoke to Lyney when he tried infiltrating the Opera Epiclese to examine it, and which Neuvilette ultimately chose to respect the judgment of when it gave a verdict different to his?

Suffice to say. Much like how Elynas chose to appear as a Melusine and Rukkhadevata appeared as Nahida...I think we'll get to chat with the Oratrice in a dreamspace and it will appear as Focalors.

#genshin impact theory #genshin theory #genshin thoughts #genshin rambles #fontaine #genshin impact 4.1 #genshin impact 4.1 spoilers #furina #focalors #nahida #rukkhadevata #buer #furina is just a little theatre kid so i'm unfortunately predisposed to love her #but i also love the hints that she CAN be competent #even if it's not the raw power we expect of most archons #i kind of hope furina never gets the full power an archon normally wields and has to figure out to 'cheat'#to be respected and feared as an archon #that unlike zhongli and venti and ei she never GETS to create new geography #she has to make the most of what she's got. and it's unfair but maybe she's growing as a person as a result

A Comprehensive God!Reader Lore Guide

a/n: with the sumeru storyline completed, i finally decided to create a comprehensive list of lore surrounding the god!reader au. if you’re new here to the god!reader cinematic universe, you can take a look at this masterpost of that compiles everything surrounding god!reader. but tldr, the name god!reader is referred to by mortals is ‘amur’ and they are a dendro deity associated with death.

General

Rukkhadevata, Nahida and Amur are all avatars of Irminsul, the only difference being that Rukkhadevata and Nahida are branches of Irminsul while Amur is a root of Irminsul (1)

As an avatar of Irminsul, Rukkhadevata/Nahida and Amur are two sides of the same coin as Life and Death respectively as such they have similar abilities in terms of Dendro and Dreams but with the gnosis and a higher number of followers, the Dendro Archon’s abilities outpace Amur’s

Amur’s epithets include “God of Festivals” and “Soother of the Dead”, Amur is a god in Teyvat associated with death

A friend of Rukkhadevata, King Deshret and the Goddess of Flowers, Amur’s history dates back to the days of Ay-Khanoum which the four friends ruled together with all of them having their own ideas of wisdom and how to pursue it (2)

Historically had the fewest amount of followers among the four gods and in modern day Sumeru, Amur is not a heavily worshipped deity only really worshipped by a few select tribes in the desert and very few individuals in the rainforest (3)

While their abilities have weakened over the years, Amur is still a god and weak by divine standards are substantially different than the standards of humans

Pre-Rukkhadevata’s Erasure from Irminsul

When posing as the mortal [First], Amur drifts back and forth between the desert and forested halves of Sumeru taking up odd jobs ranging from assisting the desert dwellers with their crops to extra dancer for the Zubayr Theatre

As a god worshipped by few and mostly forgotten and disparaged by many, Amur’s standing and abilities are low and any plots to disrupt the Sage’s control over the nation had to be thoughtful and done at the right time (so thanks for that, Traveler & Co.)

Was unable to alter the Akasha Terminal created by Rukkhadevata with their own abilities.

Kept Nahida company in her dreams alongside the Aranara as a companion and playmate throughout the centuries

Post-Rukkhadevata’s Erasure from Irminsul

Like all beings in Teyvat, Amur’s memories of Rukkhadevata are gone and all memories they have of the previous Dendro Archon are believed to be Nahida prior to becoming a young child

The days of Ay-Khanoum are long gone and Amur poses no threat to Nahida whose domain is the whole of Sumeru, they simply act as counsel from time to time and indulges Nahida in stories of the old days she ‘no longer remembers’

Wouldn’t mind traveling and visiting the other nations now that Sumeru is back in the control of its Archon

Relationship with the Seven

Barbatos: ballads and festivals go hand-in-hand, and with mutual respect for each others philosophies, Amur and Barbatos get along pretty well with one another.

Morax: Due to geographical proximity, the two have had their encounters in the past. Amur finds it a relief that he has become a lot more relaxed over the centuries as they couldn’t stand Morax back in the day.

Beezlebul: Doesn’t agree with the methods she took after the death of Baal. But since it is apparent that the Electro Archon is taking steps to change and release her reins on her people, Amur has a tinge more respect for her.

Folcalors: Acknowledges that the present Hydro Archon is an eccentric, but Amur is fond of eccentrics.***

Murata: A feisty deity, Amur has no complaints.***

Tsaritsa: no comment.***

Trivia Notes/In-Depth Explanations

(1) Historically, branches tend to be associated with life and roots are associated with death. In a specific instance, in Ancient Egypt the Tree of Life’s branches were associated with the heavens and abundance while its roots were symbolic of death an. With Sumeru being a nation based on African, South Asian and Middle Easter geographies and mythologies, I figured this would apply to Irminsul avatars as well seeing as in artifact lore Rukkhadevata’s domain was considered to be life.

(2) Amur’s wisdom concerns death and the cycles surrounding itー No one is above death, not even the divine. Whether mortal or god, plant or insect, death comes for all and that is a truth all must come to accept in order to truly live. But acknowledging that even with that knowledge death would still be considered a grim and taboo subject among mortals, Amur’s epithet concerning festivals came to be shortly after.

Life is a grand festival and should be celebrated thoroughly before one’s end. In Amur’s mind, that would surely make the inevitable end easier to digest by mortals.

(3) Between the four deities that once led Sumeru as a collective, Amur has always had the fewest amount of followers and there are few relics in history associated with them that remains. As such, there is a bit of a divide between those in the rainforest and the desert. In the rainforest, Amur is more well-known for the God of Festivals title and in a land of wisdom like Sumeru, folly was spurned by the Sages that remained in control of the nation for 500 years. As such, a god like Amur was often disregarded by many Sages, leading to dwindling numbers in their following.

A small handful of tribes in the desert worship Amur as a god of death, however, but are often at odds with researchers in the forest about their interpretations of Amur as a whole.

(***) Opinions on the remaining members of the Seven are subject to change as Genshin updates and we get to know them

One of my biggest hyperfixations nowadays is the lore of ancient kingdoms in Genshin Impact. I wanna know what they were all about, how life was like for them, what led to their downfalls, and how or if they interacted with one another. It’s said that there used to be a unified civilization of humans in Teyvat, and that’s why so many ruins have similar architectural details despite being spread across all the nations of modern Teyvat. We still have very little lore about the Nameless Ruins in the Chasm, we still don’t even have a name for them despite Dainsleif’s quest taking place there. But there’s also strange similarities between the stories of the ancient kings and how the kingdoms fell. I already buy into the theory that King Deshret of Sumeru/Gurabad may be related to or the same as King Irmin of Khaenri’ah, since the Traveler’s twin is the Abyss Prince/Princess, and the Traveler seems to remind Liloupar of Deshret in terms of looks and powers. And wouldn’t it be fitting for Deshret, who turned down the Gnosis and challenged the heavens by obtaining Forbidden Knowledge (abyssal power) to be in some way related to the king of Khaenri’ah, a nation without a god that hid from Celestia and was later punished for it? And there’s sources about Remus, the king of Remuria, citing Remus as a god king just like Deshret. And Remuria as well as Remus were swallowed by the Abyss, reminding me of the sinking of Enkanomiya, where the names of the people are lifted directly from Greek/Roman mythology. And Remus is directly inspired by the Rome founding myth, while Remuria as a whole is inspired by ancient Rome. And the most tantalizing thing for me has to be the lost kingdom of Sal Vindagnyr, where it seems so cut off from these other lost kingdoms but their princess dreamt of events that wouldn’t come to pass for thousands of years, long after her civilization was destroyed. She was born under an offshoot of Irminsul, and had the power of prophecy through her connection to the tree. She foresaw the Cataclysm in Khaenri’ah, the coming of the abyssal dragon Durin, but she had no frame of reference for when these visions would come to pass. Think about what that would do to you as your kingdom was being swallowed in ice and snow, the gods having forsaken you, and your father asks to see a vision of the snow cleared and blue skies, but you’ve already forgotten what that looks like since it’s been so long in the blizzard. Dragonspine and the ruins of Sal Vindagnyr haunt me.

EDIT: I think I figured something out about Dragonspine. In every source I could find on the topic, people usually sort the Princess’s vision of Durin before the Celestial Nail that destroyed their Irminsul tree. I think, since the people of Sal Vindagnyr proclaimed to be in such close contact with Celestia, that Celestia dropped the nail on Dragonspine as a response to the princess’s vision. They laid down a preemptive strike against the abyss and then realized, “oh shoot, we messed up,” because Durin wouldn’t appear in Mondstadt until thousands of years later! So Celestia gets the heck out of dodge before the humans can seek retribution for the destruction of their home, that’s why they abandoned the people of Sal Vindagnyr. The humans were left wondering what they did wrong, but Celestia is the one at fault! Celestia panicked and messed up!

hi !! feel free to ignore but can I request g/t headcanons with wanderer and/or venti ? have a nice day!!!! :) <3

Holidays got me so behind on asks, here ya go!

Wanderer: I love the fact that you can choose a name for him, I gave him the name Kokoro so that will be the name I use for these headcanons. (Also giving him the nickname of Ko which means child)

Giant/human size:

If there was a poster child for fearplay from a giant, Kokoro would be it. Pre-Irminsul incident he was not kind to borrowers that he came across. At the very best case scenario he would let them scurry off, whispering his disgust under his breath, worst case scenario…well.

Post-Irminsul incident he’s much more tolerant of tinies, especially after having to interact with some that attend the Academiya. He just ignores them mostly, unless he gets paired up with someone (ie Faruzan who he tolerates).

He doesn’t have a lot of his sense of pressure and touch anymore, between being a puppet and the Dottore’s experimentation. So sometimes he finds a tiny that has hitched a ride on his person somewhere. It’s lowkey a game between the tinies of the Academiya, who can stay on the Dendro Archon’s pupil the longest without him noticing.

Current record was Layla who had fallen asleep in one of his pockets on accident, and was only discovered because Nahida had teased Kokoro about bringing a friend “home”.

Tiny/borrower size:

Pre-Irminsul incident, he would be a very aggressive tiny that would assist the Fatui as a spy of sorts. He would still desire the Electro Gnosis, less because he believes it to be rightfully his, and more to just piss off his “mother”.

HATES being held, will do whatever he can to not be held. He doesn’t mind sitting on a shoulder or anything, just being held like a doll.

Abandonment issues are dialed up to 11, especially since the child that passed from sickness would play with him like a regular doll. Traumatized.

Venti: My favorite archon <3 silly little wind sprite.

Giant/human size:

Easily the gentlest person around tinies. Can be found sleeping in many random places absolutely covered in the tiny folks of Mond.

Most tinies know he’s Barbatos, and consider him the patron deity of tinies. Since, he too has a tiny form (wind sprite).

He actually plays around with his size sometimes to be more closely involved with the tiny community of Mondstadt, though often with a change of clothes to prevent too much confusion.

If a tiny feels comfortable with him, they should be prepared to have a bad hair day. He tends to fidget with whatever is in his hands, aka tinies often find themselves completely ruffled after a few minutes of Venti’s attention being elsewhere.

Tiny/borrower size:

Prankster of the year award has been his for centuries. Between causing headaches for Jean, to stealing an unfathomable amount of wine from the Angel’s Share, new visitors to Mond will often be warned of a tiny bard clad in green.

He can often be seen hitching rides with just about anyone, offering them a day filled with music for just an apple.

Cats are even worse to tiny Venti, not only is he allergic, now they're big. He’s often seen on rooftops and in trees for that exact reason

Can I ask an anemo vision holder and she has already lost a loved one and she doesn't want to lose al haitham also if you don't mind

A/n: ohhh yess I feel like this would turn out so niceee thank you for the request! I hope you will enjoy this and I hope that it will make your day better <3

Pairings: Al haitham x fem!reader

Warnings: sensitive themes? There will be mentioned losing a loved one so if it makes you uncomfortable please don't read it, also some speculations on what the archon quest may hold about Dottore and that tree from the trailer

You were currently searching for some informations about those devices that everyone owns. You knew that they were made to connect every citizen of Sumeru, and that because of them people couldn't dream at night, but these days something very weird was happening with these devices. It was as if someone tried to control them, the citizens were all very tense, they started arguing and Sumeru was in a huge chaos.

The traveler was working together with Lesser Lord Kusanali, Cyno and everyone else on finding out what happened, but you wanted to help as well.

"Hmm these devices are born from the Irminsul tree... Maybe something had happened to that tree? But I do not own a dendro vision, it would be hard to figure that out on my own... I think I'll contact Tighnari." you mumbled and you searched more informations.

All of a sudden the door burst open with a loud thud and you raised your head alarmed. Collei rushed in with a worried look.

"Y/N!" she yelled and ran to you as you stood up quickly.

"Collei, what's happening?" you said and tried to calm the girl down.

"I-... Had a vision these days about... A fatui but turns out that... He's actually, the Irminsul tree is on fire!" she said out of breath and you tried to catch what she was trying to say.

"What?? The tree is on fire?? But how did this happen, and the fatui? And someone went to the tree or?" you asked quickly and she nodded.

"Master Tighnari went these with the traveler, Al haitham and Nahida... I do not know what's happening but, I know wich fatui is there y/n... It's the one who did experiments on me... He's named Dottore." she said very worried and you looked at her shocked.

A harbinger?? And one of the most cruel ones for sure? And the traveler went to fight it with the others but Al haitham? Will he be alright? You both were in a relationship for some time but you were worried for him.

"We have to get there at once too, I'm sure we could help at least to capture that harbinger." you said seriously and Collei nodded.

"Okay! Dori is waiting for us outside together with Dehya and Nilou, everyone is worried for the fate of Sumeru right now." Collei said and you both rushed outside. After meeting with the other girls you all ran to the place where the tree used to be. You couldn't think straight anymore, memories flooded your mind, you remembered your best friend and how he died being killed by a Pyro regisvine. You both were small and you just found this huge plant in Liyue when your parents were on a business trip. Without having time to react, the plant attacked your best friend and not even ashes remained. You swore that you wouldn't let anyone else die that you cared for, and now your boyfriend was facing one of the most dangerous harbingers. You were terrified.

As you arrived at the tree you saw it burn very strongly. You looked around only to see that no harbinger was around but a lot of fatui were fighting with the guards and Al haitham, Cyno and Tighnari.

"Master Tighnari! Where is the traveler??" Collei asked as she threw her boomerang at the fatui agent.

The boys looked at you all and Tighnari answered while knocking off a Mirror maiden.

"They went to fight the harbinger with Nahida, Dottore tried to escape after he set the tree on fire but the traveler caught him."

"Al haitham are you alright??" you said as you used a wind current to blow the agents away from his back. As you raised your head you realized you were back to back with him and he smiled at you while slashing some fatui's.

"Don't you know what I'm capable of? Some fatui's can't just hurt me." he said and you smiled at him.

"Then let's show them just with who they messed this time." you said preparing your catalyst.

After knocking most of the enemies down Nilou started using her vision on the tree.

"This may be more complicated than I thought, this fire isn't the normal kind of one, that harbinger knew all too well what he was doing. Even if I save the tree, the devices connected to it won't be usable anymore..." she said and Tighnari nodded.

"Now the most important thing is to stop this fire, after we can figure something out." he said and she nodded. After many tries you managed to put down the fire and Al haitham came to you.

"How are you feeling? You didn't get hurt did you?" he asked and you nodded.

"I'm fine Haitham, as long as I know your safe I'm fine..." you said relieved and when you closed your eyes you felt yourself being pushed in a chest. You replied to the hug by putting your hands around Al haithams waist.

"You don't have to worry about me, you won't lose me... I know what happened to you in the past, but I will always stay by your side." he said in a soft tone and you hummed.

"Yes, I try to convince myself that you will be fine but when I heard a harbinger was involved I just... Lost rationality." you said and he rubbed your back.

"It's all okay now, everything will be fine." he said and you smiled as he kissed you softly on the lips.

So, here's a crazy theory about the abyss twin, Khaenri'ah and the Alberich Clan...

// 3.2 spoilers

Nahida said in the 3.2 quest that someone is obscuring the fate of the abyss twin, right? I wonder if the one who did that was Irmin, the former king of Khaenri’ah.

At the beginning of the 3.0 archon quest, we see the Irminsul tree under a red sky, which the traveler associates with Khaenri’ah, an underground nation (although probably not entirely undeground?).

AND the description of the Silver Twig, the item we get after the 3.2 archon quest, says this:

Irmin is another name for Odin, and this is basically Odin’s story, so when I read the item’s description I was like OMGGGG. Odin hanged himself in Yggdrasil to gain knowledge of other worlds and to be able to understand runes. He did this before he exchanged his eye for knowledge too with Mímir, a being that lives beneath Yggdrasil.

Both the Abyss Mages and the Abyss Lectors draw their powers from sacred words, which leads me to believe that Irmin has passed on much of the knowledge he acquired, possibly causing what Nahida called “pollution of forbidden knowledge”.

Since the Irminsul tree is located somewhere underground, this ‘kingdom established along the tree’s roots’ is probably Khaenri’ah. One of the inspirations hyv used for Khaenri’ah could be Niflheim, a land of mist inhabited by the Nibelungs, a race of dwarves or elves, which seems to be another source of inspiration for the people of Khaenri'ah.

So, could Irmin have added information about the abyss twin in the Irminsul tree before he died or whatever happened to him? Could this be the reason they’re so determined to help Khaenri’ah?

Could the Alberich Clan know this?

The title of the abyss sibling is 'princess' or 'prince’, indicating that they aren't at the top of the hierarchy and Nahida’s words sort of confirm this.

So, maybe they work under the Alberich Clan, but without knowing their true plan. Perhaps they're doing the ‘heavy work’, learning more about Celestia and looking for ways to break the curse, while the Alberich Clan waits for the ‘right time’ to act.

I also think that the situation could be the complete opposite: the Alberich Clan knows of the Abyss Order, but they’re doing their own thing and sometimes they might use them to gain intel. I mean, Kaeya seems to do that.

In this case, I think Dainsleif might be on their side or, at least, know of them. He literally knows every character in the game. Wouldn’t he be aware of Khaenri’ah’s regent clan?

Still, I think there’s a connection between the abyss twin and the Alberich Clan because Kaeya says this when the traveler talks to him in Jean’s office during the Stormterror’s quest:

Did he mean the abyss twin? Does he have memories of the abyss twin from his early childhood or something? Does this mean the abyss twin and the Alberich Clan know each other? Why would Kaeya say that to a person he just met? This dialogue happens before the traveler received his gliding license from Amber.

It’s very odd.

Kuni..?

Genshin Impact AU where Scaramoche is tiny (a few inches tall) and when he still went by the name Kunikuzushi he was friends with Kazuha before he randomly left Kazuha without a trace… and for some reason, even after removing himself from Teyvat history using the Irminsul in Sumeru, Kazuha still remembers him and his old name. [Not intended to be lore accurate at all!! I used the name "Scaramouche" since I think it's easier to identify ^∇^]

Scaramouche held his hat tightly in his right hand, using his left to shield his face from any heavy raindrops his hat failed to protect him from as he flew between tree branches and leaves at a quick speed to escape the raging thunderstorm pouring down on him.

Kazuha shook off the raindrops on his straw hat, sighing as he put it up on a hanger. "Who knew it would start storming this hard today, I'm soaked..." Kazuha sighs, stripping his wet clothes off and putting them up to dry. Leaving him in a tank top and loose shorts.

Slipping on his slippers he makes his way through his small home, fiddling with the colorful leaves he collected on his stroll through some secluded parts of Inazuma, while humming gently.

Scara angrily bites his lip feeling multiple branches and leaves slice against his skin while rain continues to pour down on him, he knows he'll drown if he were to take a break as he boosts himself through the air desperately trying to find anywhere to shelter himself from this wretched thunderstorm.

As he's about to boost his power again he realizes it's starting to run out, making his eyes quickly dart around hopeful for the slim chance of somewhere he can land safely knowing he won't stay in the air much longer. Scaramouches eyes catch a faint light coming from an open window of a small house and he quickly uses up the last of his power to launch himself onto the damp windowsill, nearly missing if by a couple inches.

He stays still for a second, looking up and scanning the huge room for any humans while holding his breath. Scara finally relaxes himself, letting his shoulders drop down and taking a huge breath of air as he takes his hat off and shakes the water off it.

Scaramouche sighs putting his hat back on his slightly damp hair as he stares down at his dripping wet clothes, scrunching up his nose in annoyance. "Ugh.. stuck in wet clothes..? How bothersome… Hopefully I don't get si-" He says and is suddenly cut off by him sneezing. "So.. cold.. This stupid open window isn't making it any better…" He groans, using his Anemo abilities to slam the window closed. Scara hugs himself shivering as he feels colder the longer his wet clothes cling to his skin.

I can't believe I let myself get stuck in that damn storm.. I saw it coming… He closes his eyes and lays down on the windowsill, tightly hugging his legs to his chest trying to keep warm as he sneezes again.

Kazuha twirls the red strands of his hair finally reaching his room. As he reaches out to grab the doorknob he freezes hearing the familiar slam of his windows closing. "Is someone in my room? Hm.. no no that must of been the storm" Kazuha mumbles to himself, finally turning his doorknob, and opening his door looking around his room a bit.

He walks into his room grabbing a towel resting on his night stand and rubs it through his damp hair. He looks up at his window above to his bed and squints his eyes seeing something small laying on the windowsill. Kazuha takes a step closer seeing the small thing shivering making him realize it's a living being.

A hummingbird? Kazuha thinks looking at the blue and purple colors on it and the shimmery accents. As he gets closer he sees the figure more clearly and gasps seeing that it has the form of a human. No way that's a human! They're so little.. kind of like… Kazuha's eyes widen in shock as the small form starts slowly getting up making what looks like it's hat fall off.

Scaramouche lifts himself up still shivering, feeling like he's being watched, and as he turns around he's met with Kazuha looming over him. Scaras eyes shoot open in surprise mimicking Kazuha's, as he crawls back till his back hit the window and quickly turns around and tries desperately to open the window…

"Kuni..?" That word made Scaras blood run cold and slowly turn around to face the human.

He shouldn't remember me.. No one should remember that name so why does he remember!? Scara presses himself harder against the cold glass as Kazuha leans closer over him. He puts up his hand to use his Anemo abilities to attack Kazuha but sneezes right as he fires, making his attack become a weak breeze not even strong enough to move a strand of Kazuha's hair.

Kazuha is taken a back as Scara tries to attack him, seeing how weak Scaramouche's attack as his eyes soften and he leans down even closer slowly bringing his hands closer to Scaramouche. "Shh.. shhh.. don't worry Kuni I won't hurt you I promise" Kazuha whispers hearing Scara yelp seeing his approaching hands.

Scara sneezed again as he brought his arms up to his face, shielding his eyes from Kazuha. His body flinched, feeling Kazuha's finger brush up against his waist causing Kazuha to pull back. Kazuha frowns and moves his hands closer to Scara, knowing that he needs to be warmed up before he catches a cold.

"I know you're not going to be very fond of this.. but I don't want you to get sick" Kazuha whispers with a sigh and gently curls his fingers around Scaramouches body.

"H-hey!! Let go of me you human!" Scaramouche shouts, squirming around as Kazuha's hands close around his body. Kazuha bites the side of his lip, trying to be as careful as possible with Scara's body but he couldn't help but to smile a bit seeing Scaramouche trying to act tough.

Kazuha lowers himself down onto his bed carefully to not jostle Scaramouche around. Scara hits and kicks at Kazuha's hand desperate to escape them. He suddenly gets a thought, grabs ahold of one of Kazuha's fingers and bites into it as hard as he possibly can.

Kazuha winced feeling Scaras teeth digging into his finger but he keeps himself composed as he brings his hands up to his chest. "Shhh.. it's alright" He continues trying to calm Scara down, he feels Scaramouche's jaw slightly relax and he waits a bit longer till Scara calms down a bit more.

Scaramouche scrunches up his face and hesitantly let's go of Kazuha's finger. He hears a sigh of relief come above from Kazuha as he feels Kazuha's finger relax around his body. "I'm going to open my hands okay? Don't try to run away please." Kazuha says in a soft voice and waits a couple seconds before slowly opening his hand.

Scara stares down at Kazuha's palm not wanting to even glance at Kazuha, feeling weak but also so tiny. God he hated that feeling, it was Scara's reality of being so diminutive but he hated to acknowledge it more than anything…

“Kuni…” Kazuha whispers as he brings the tiny being closer to his face. Why does he remember that name!? Everything I sacrificed in Sumeru to remove myself from history… Scara wonders to himself as he finally manages to look Kazuha in the eyes. “Wh… how do you remember.. that name…” Scaramouche mutters defensively while glaring up at Kazuha.

Kazuha's eyes soften as he gazes down at the tiny Scara in his hands, a gentle smile on his face. “How could I not… I've missed you for years Kuni…” Kazuha says in a gentle voice. Kazuha can't hold himself back, he brings tiny Scara closer to his face and presses Scara's body into his warm cheek, smiling as he feels Scara's squirming.

“Ack! H..hey! Stop..- cuddling me Kazuha-!” Scaramouche freezes, accidentally saying Kazuha's name… so now he can't pretend he doesn't know Kazuha.

Kazuha is overjoyed hearing Scara say his name, he knew this tiny being was his missing friend from a few years ago… “Kuni… where did you go all this time…” Kazuha murmurs as he nuzzles his cheek against the protesting Scaramouche.

Scaramouche attempts to struggle against Kazuha but knows there's no escaping, Scara huffs as he gives in. “Nowhere important…” Scara mutters as he rolls his eyes. At least he didn't end up in some strangers grasp… but if Kazuha still remembers him who knows who else might… Scara pushes those thoughts away as he feels Kazuha start moving.

Kazuha gently places Scaramouche down on his bed, he kneels down in front of the edge of his bed to get a closed look at Scara. “Seems like I warmed you up… you're not sneezing or shivering anymore.” Kazuha says with a soft smirk which makes Scara scoff and look away.

“Yeah.. yeah…” Scara mumbles. He's slightly glad his old friend remembers him… when he was in the process of rewriting Teyvats history and removing himself from it.. the one thing that saddened him was Kazuha forgetting about him.

As Scaramouche looks back up at Kazuha, Kazuha stands up straight and starts to put on more comfortable clothing to sleep in.

Once finished Kazuha gets into his bed, next to Scara, making sure to not disrupt his tiny form on the bed. Scara stares down at the bedsheets with his usual annoyed expression on his face before Kazuha's hand comes into view, making Scara yelp slightly and scramble back a bit. But he couldn't escape Kazuha's hand cupping around his tiny form and bringing him in closer, right against Kazuha's chest.

“Now now… don't struggle so much. You owe me for leaving me for so long Kuni.” Kazuha whispers as he gets comfortable in his bed, smiling as he feels Scara slowly stop struggling against him and surrender to his body heat.

Scaramouche didn't want to admit it to himself but he missed the times like this when Kazuha would hold him like this…

Scara slightly shifted closer to Kazuha, pressing his tiny body against Kazuha's chest.. finally being able to relax after eons…

Kazuha chuckled quietly, feeling Scaramouche curl up against him. Both of them closed their eyes for a much needed rest.

Crystal heart Fragile and beautiful Your diamond tears so clear and dull I gently hold like a porcelain doll

You watch from a far your old lover's reincarnation wandering the plains of Sumeru. You smiled sadly at his figure, he looked beautiful as the day you lost him. A single tear slips through your eyes, it saddened you everytime you thought about the memories but you thought this was for the best, he has lost too many people and it would destroy him if he lost you too.

You were out and about just picking up Sumeru roses but then a gust of wind blew behind you causing the flowers to slip away from your hand, you look behind to see where the wind came from. Your eyes shot open, you saw his reincarnation standing just a few meters away from you. You pretended as if he was a stranger, "I know you still remember me." You sigh "Nahida told you I'd be here didn't she?" he nods, you sigh again but turn away "Scara- I mean Kunimitsu. What do you want" You hear him approach you but you move away "Stubborn like always huh?" You didn't want to see him right now so you coldly answer "I'm not in a state to see you right now.." He chuckles "You think I'm just gonna leave after all that has happened to me? You're so selfish for thinking I would just forget you [Name]" You could hear his heart shatter bit by bit "I just don't think you should stay with me. I just fear that once I leave you won't recover from it like the others." You were quickly walking away but He ran after you and tackled you to the ground "Oh how foolish can you get [Name]?! You think leaving me would be for the better but can't you understand?! I need you! I fucking need you to be with me for as long as you can!" Tears drops splattered on your face as they fall down from his eyes, you still saw the fragile heart of the original Kunikuzishi "[Name]...Please I will never be the me you knew if you left, I'll change I swe-" You sat up and hugged him, shutting him up successfully "I..I apologize Kuni, I should've known you still...needed me" you pause to let go but he hugged you even tighter, you crack into a small smile "I will always need you [Name]. Even with all the bad things I have done you still stayed till the day I erased myself from Irminsul" You felt small tears well up in your eyes as you feel cold tears on your shoulder "[Name] I have done more than enough to be seen as a monster but you have always treated me like a glass doll about to break and I will never be good enough to pay you back..." Your heart ached "No! Kuni you are more than perfect in my eyes. This hands were always here to comfort you Kuni...I" You stutter at your words "I cared for you more than you will ever know" That was his breaking point. He loudly sobbed on your shoulder leaving you patting his back as you also silently cry.

You both sat under a tree quietly admiring the surroundings not saying a word to eachother. You caress his cheek as he sits on your lap, he hums a little tune. "You matter so much to me Kuni" "You care about me to much."

About Nahida's information on the Abyss Sibling... Fandango theorizes again!

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 3.2 ARCHON QUEST'S LORE UTC!!!

A/N: I know I'm taking a break from writing, but I reallyyyy wanted to write this out for you guys!

A quick recount of what Nahida shared with the traveler at the end of the Sumeru archon quest:

The heavenly principals are the Unknown God.

Heavenly principals have been quiet ever since the Khaenri'ah disaster 500 years ago.

Irminsul (Teyvat's world tree) recorded information on the abyss sibling, leading Nahida to think that they are of Teyvat, as Irminsul only records information on beings of Teyvat.

The abyss sibling suddenly appeared in Khaenri'ah, and then they explored the 7 nations of Teyvat.

However, just before their adventure ended, Irminsul's records became "fuzzy".

Someone/something is deliberately hiding the abyss sibling's fate.

Descenders, a term coined by the Fatui, are external beings that do not belong to Teyvat.

The abyss sibling is not classified as a Descender, but the traveler is classified as Teyvat's 4th Descender.

Nahida thinks the 1st Descender is the Heavenly Principals, but the 2nd and 3rd are currently unknown.

How I think this connects to us, the players.

The traveler is probably recognized as a Descender because of us. We of course, are not from Teyvat. Since the abyss sibling has information recorded in Irminsul, and is not classified as a Descender, this probably means that they are originally from Teyvat. And, since twins are born at the same place at about the same time, it is reasonable to assume that both the siblings are from Teyvat. However, this may or may not be true, as the traveler remembers traveling many worlds with their sibling. Although, these memories could be false. Anyways, the traveler has a different classification from their sibling, which probably links to us, the players. We were there since the moment they began their journey, exploring Teyvat in their body. We are probably the reason for their classification as a Descender, because if you really think about it, we've never truly left their body. All cannon interactions with NPCs and any kind of quest are done through the Traveler's body. So, it would make sense that as we are perceived as the traveler, the traveler is also perceived as us. This also makes sense because we choose the name of the traveler. So, the Fatui are not labeling the traveler as the Descender, but instead they are labeling us, the real outsiders, as the 4th Descender.

My thoughts on why we met both siblings in the very beginning of the game

Now, mentioned in the top section, Nahida said that someone was "deliberately hiding" the abyss sibling's fate. I think that this person, or this thing is the Heavenly Principals. In the opening scene of Genshin Impact, Aether and Lumine are attempting to leave Teyvat, most likely because they found out the "truth" of the world. By which I mean, the "truth" behind Celestia. Since the Heavenly Principals are labeled as the 1st Descender, and since they are related to Celestia, I think that Celestia was actually not from Teyvat to begin with at all. This would explain why the archons seem to dislike or even hate Celestia. Celestia must've came from another world, and decided to take over Teyvat, quite literally. As of now, they are considered the highest authority in Teyvat, above even the archons. It is still not known who was in power before Celestia, but it would make sense that the highest authority before Celestia would be the Primordial One, the literal creator of life on Teyvat. (You can read more on the Primordial One in the Byakuyakoku Collection book in game) Anyways, as the twins were stopped by the Heavenly Principals, and for some reason, we were there to "save" a twin of our choice. I think they were trying to leave Teyvat to either look for help outside of Teyvat, or to attract the attention of us players. After choosing a twin, the abyss sibling adventures throughout the 7 nations, all our twin is deep asleep. Before the abyss sibling's adventure is complete, their records in Irminsul are blurred out. My guess is that near the end of their journey, the abyss sibling found information about Celestia, information that either proves that they are the enemy, or information on how to ultimately defeat them.

Now, I'm just left with one burning question...

Who the heck is Paimon, and how does she connect to this???

Also, the Japanese version has his name as Gaia, pronounced and presented the same as Greek goddess name Gaia (as opposed to how it would usually be pronounced in Japanese). The OG Mother Earth.

Which is just a little neat, I think, especially considering Teyvat's whole world, history, and elemental flow being dictated by trees + other magic plants and flowers + the world tree Irminsul (which is an obvious nod to the Yggdrisal. also just occurred to me but the Yggdrisal connects to nine worlds, and the Genshin gods are name after demons, and there's the idea of nine hells. not going anywhere with this just thinking thoughts). Eps with how that seems to relate to Khaenri'ahn - Bough Keeper, One-Eyed King Irmin, inteyvats, etc.

Like I don't think it means anything specific, just wow! cool! continual vague themes about how plants and nature relate to the base of their world itself!

(2/2)

pt. 1 of the answer here

Actually I find it very interesting that Kaeya and Gaia are feminine names. Basically, in all versions, he is named as if he were a girl (maybe Khaenri'ah was way more progressive lmao jk)

I wonder what other name options they have ever thought for for him and why did they specifically choose Kaeya and Gaia?

And you are right! Gaia is a very fitting name in relation to Khaenri'ah and their connection to the Irminsul. I haven't really checked much from other characters if they have name changes as well though, I guess I'm a bit too Kaeya-minded to notice things beyond him

Based on the leaks, I have more to say on this matter (a loooot more) but I will have to stop here until 3.5 is out, I'm sorry! I will return to this ask and several other posts of mine after going thru the 3.5 Archon quest (and if I'm too busy with work to play much then I guess i should watch lets players at 2x speed)

ɪɴғᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ [Genshin]

(Oh, and I've never played Genshi Impact before, i don't know anything so don't get mad at me. But I'm trying so. *edited* so i ve played some and wow)

(i get these ideas from playlists I listen to; I was inspired by them so yuh, there will be music)

__________

(mostly all the villains I could find)

Some background on you:

I wouldn't say you are lovesick but you're just a really big flirt. And ever since you met Scaramouche you flirt beyond how much you usually do...and every chance you get when you meet people along the way.

Your appearance, everything is white. Except u can pick your skin color if u want. You're like a spirit but not exactly. You're there but no one can see you. You're also a vampire. A God. Like Lord Kusanali. Perses' name means "the Destroyer" or "the Ravager" from the Greek words persô and perthô. So I'm just gonna call you The Ravenger or one of those. That's what Lord Kusanali calls you. Just like she calls Scaramouche ¨The Balladeer.¨ You're the same height as him. 5,4 or 5,5. You really wear different things, it depends. Your hair gets long, that also depends. You can take the form of anything (shapeshift).

During Chapter III, where Scaramouche serves as the boss battle in the form of Shouki no Kami, an artificial god. After his defeat, he fell into a comatose state and was hidden away by Lesser Lord Kusanali. {Irminsul is a silver-white tree whose roots stretch down into the Abyss.} The Sumeru. Which is where Lesser Lord Kusanali sent Scaramouche. (i think...TELL ME IF I'M WRONG) Which was a bad idea. I guess she forgot that She sent M/n there. I know you're asking ¨How did she manage to send him to the Abyss or the Sumeru?¨Well that's a story between you two and let's just say..it felt like you meant nothing to her but that wasn't the case.

You're being awakened after [Meanwhile while you were in a slumber she changed the way everyone saw things. There are 11 Harbingers. But there used to be 12. M/n was one of them.]

M/n. the man of all. Even the others dare not cross that line with you. Well...unless they forgot about you..or can't see you..or feel your presence...yet

Unknown God. you're friends with her. You've both worked alongside each other for a long time.

Enjou. ???(well u know him right? But in this story is gonna be different)

Decarabian. On your side. Your story with him is still unknown lol

The Old Lawrence. Although you don't like how he enslaved his people and used them for battle, you guys come to understanding.

Gold. She adores you. Not exactly wanting to be like you but the type to follow you everywhere. She knows some of your power like she can sense whenever you are back or there. Well, the others can too..in their own way.

Albedo's Impostor (Primordial Albedo). You bumped into him while visiting the City Of Freedom. He's loyal to you. And will protect you at any cost even if you tell him you don't need help. You're story with him; is unknown for now.

Childe. He admires you. Sometimes he flirts with you to get his way but ends up losing because you're always the better one at it. He follows you; kinda like a guard to you.

Signora. She likes you but won't admit it. She fell in love with a knight but he ended up dying while she was away, she found out when she came back. She was mad, sad, and grieving. She used her life's flame to kill monsters and demons, scarring her own body in the process. That's when she met him. M/n. He cared for her and did everything he could. So she fell in love again. Time went by...you were missing(not exactly) but gone. You did say you were leaving but were gonna come back. She waited and waited..soon finding out by Childe that you had been sealed away by Kusanali...(in the Sumeru) so she searched and searched for you. Later being recruited by a Harbinger, and she suppressed her power with a Cryo Delusion. From then on, Signora became a loyal subject to the Tsaritsa.
