Not a fan
A SAGAU Impostor AU Songfic
Song used: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
...so I caved. Yep. Starting a new series even though i already have one. To be fair, i felt like i needed a break from that series since that beast needs a whole lotta world building and im planning for it to get into some heavy fucken subjects. This one tho is more chill and light-hearted, since theyre all just a bunch of kind of disconnected one shots that are all kind of connected. So like-- when this series gets a lil longer, you can literally start from any fic since its all connectedly disconnected. A better example was my original idea of me just writing the end goal where they finally defeat the impostor like-- directly after the Castaway fic to rlly show how connectedly disconnected it is but i refrained myself since i wanted to write more wanderer. Been playing as him a lot but i havent rlly done the archon quest yet lol but hes just a blast. Hes an annoying lil shit (affectionate)

---
Is this the real life?
You were running again, the spears and arrows of the Millelith chasing you all across Liyue.
Is this just fantasy?
Zhongli was by your side, steadfast as a rock as he shielded you from their weapons-- both with his Jade Shields and his body.
Caught in a landslide,
A loose rock almost sent you tumbling down into the depths of the Chasm, Barbara grabbing you just in time.
No escape from reality.
Diluc recognizes the path you were taking towards Tiangong Gorge, immediately rushing off to the Chasm's Maw and letting loose Dawn-- his phoenix rising up into the sky like a blazing beacon, just buy the rest of you more time. He'll rejoin you once again, he knows the path you'd take. He's your main afterall.
Open your eyes,
The three of you make it, the relief from seeing the glow of the blue Waypoint almost bringing you to your knees.
Look up to the skies and see,
You stumble in, Barbara hauling your arm over her shoulder as Zhongli collapses the tunnel behind you. You may be Overseer of Teyvat but he is the Overseer of Liyue, and its stones still answers to his call. There is nothing left but the browns and greens that creep towards the borders of Liyue.
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Your little group exit the cavern, the fresh air of the rainforest cooling the sweat on your backs and you see Haypasia's "little neighbor" peeking up from behind a leaf.
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
The tiny Aranara, though a little hesitant that more people could see him now, takes your hand and guides you through Avidya Forest. Thank goodness you had caved from your siblings nagging and finally done at least a part of the Sumeru quest.
Little high, little low,
You were still unfamiliar with the lands of Sumeru, trusting your little lettuce friend to lead you to a place of safety, of rest.
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me,
Lettuce, as you had affectionately named him, lead you all deep into the rainforests of Sumeru all while deftly avoiding the little village of forest rangers and the rangers themselves. You hadn't said a word to him but you knew, deep in somewhere, that he would be leading you somewhere safe. Somewhere protected.
Though this... wasn't what you expected.
To me.
He turns to your group, the smell of tea faintly wafting from the pot he was tending. "I don't think I need to introduce myself, do I?"
-
After the short but silent panic that washed over the three of you (it took the you and Barbara 5 minutes to even get a centimeter pulling Vortex Vanquisher out the cave wall while Zhongli aggressively apologized to him), the four of you were sat on the floor watching the Wanderer tend to the bubbling pots of food he was making.
There was a strange... very not tense(?), and very awkward energy in the air as he set aside cups and bowls for all of you, his own cup still full with steaming almost black water. Zhongli was very noticeably trying not to stare at his oversteeped tea.
Little Lettuce had already left, presumably to keep an eye on the area or watch out for Diluc. You didn't want to use him as a shield or a way to break the ice or something but god-- the energy in the air was just so uncomfortable.
You all watched Wanderer in this terse silence prepare your food, his soft chopping of the grilled unagi sounding like death knells in your cave. He took each of the bowls he set out, placing a considerable amount of rice in each and a small handful of dried seaweed and sesame seeds. Bringing out a jar of umeboshi from his inventory, he placed each slab of unagi with a single umeboshi atop the bed of rice and seaweed.
He pours out the tea onto the rice, 1, 2, 3... and stops. He cocks his head. Frowns.
"Wasn't there supposed to be four of you?"
And the silence was broken.
"W-well, little lettuce already left--"
"Not the aranara-- wait, you named him lettuce? Tsk, whatever. Where's the other one? The red one?"
"Oh, uhm, Diluc?"
He nods, the small scowl on his face almost carved into him. You feel your face heat as you turn your face away from him.
"He ran off. To the Maw. Let out his burst as a diversion to buy us time --but he'll find us. He'll come back. He knows the way, he knows how I think, he knows what I'll do. He'll come back."
Wanderer sighs, disappearing the extra bowl. You're not sure whether you said all that to stop his retort or to diminish your own worry.
You're shaken from your thoughts by Barbara holding your hand. She gives it a squeeze, and you squeeze back, thankful for the comfort.
"Are you just gonna keep staring at your food or do you want to die of both exhaustion and starvation?"
"Okay, eating now!"
You're handed a warm bowl of Shimi Chazuke, Wanderer's specialty. It didn't look like its in game icon, only having the plump umeboshi on top of a bed of rice and seaweed with the pale tea glistening in the light. But you had come to learn that many things in game didn't translate directly, there sure as hell no quest or mention of a "Divine Overseer, and yet-- and yet.
You bring the bowl up to your face, the warmth soaking into your aching, tired hands and its steam gently caressing your face. You mix a portion of the rice together with the tea, scoop it up, and put it into your mouth.
And practically turn into jelly at the taste.
"Umai...!" you moan, savoring the taste of it all.
The fresh rice soaked in the bitter tea tasted amazing, each bite slowly turning into a different flavor as the oils and sauce from the grilled unagi gradually mixed in with the rice. Cutting up a bit of the eel with your spoon, you mix it with the rice and your mouth burst with deliciousness.
The eel was grilled to perfection, plump and juicy and flaky. And with the addition of the tea, it introduced flavors you hadn't even imagined from a simple grilled fish.
As you were about to burst that plump little plum, the Wanderer stopped you, a strange look on his face. He handed you a handkerchief.
"Wipe your face, the flavor's gonna be off if you mix it with your tears."
Stunned, you took the handkerchief. "Oh."
It... had been a long time since you've eaten good food and found a place to rest. Too long.
You hold it close to your chest, eyes squeezed shut as you tried to calm down. After a moment, you wipe away the sweat, and tears, and snot, and grime that had accumulated on your journey. It had been such a long time since you first found kindness in this world, even if that kindness came from an emotionally stunned automaton designed to be a god.
You chuckled to yourself, a wet little thing, as you realize that you kept weeping harder and harder with each swipe of the cloth. You bury your face in it, the handkerchief practically soaked with your tears as you take a few calming breaths to finally stop your tears.
"I'm... I'm sorry, I-- its been a while since I've... yeah. Uhm..."
You take a breath, still wet with your snot. "I, uh... I'm gonna keep this, I uh-- ruined it. I'll, I'll clean it though! If you want it back."
Wanderer, handily ignoring your breakdown just earlier, cringes in disgust. "No thanks. Keep it, you need it more than me if you decide to bawl your eyes out again."
Despite the harshness of it, you soften, tucking the offending handkerchief away. "Thanks." "Don't ever mention it."
He reclines back into his little designated space in your cave, and hesitantly stokes the fire with his anemo vision. You pick your unfinished bowl of chazuke, umeboshi still waiting to be eaten. It was good to know that at least there was a few things that didn't change now that you're here.
"Are you finished yet? Stop gawking at your food and finish it so I can do the dishes."
Yep, some things just never change.
You finally finish your meal with the silence in the cave now something much more comfortable, the crackling of the fire and the quiet rushing and clanking of dishes almost lulling you into a sense of "you don't have a bounty placed on your head and are definitely not running from anyone and everyone for fear of them betraying you and handing you over to your megalomaniacal doppelganger".
Wanderer, having lost the argument of who does the dishes against Barbara, was definitely not sulking in his little corner and absolutely not fiddling with his new(?) anemo vision. "So, why'd you come here to Sumeru anyways? I know you definitely were not looking for me, considering the fact you tried to impale my head on sight. Which to be fair," he chuckles at Zhongli's sheepish face, stood near the cavern entrance. "I would do the same."
You absentmindedly plucked the strings of your Windblume Lyre, the instrument becoming a sort of stimming/coping device, helping you deal with everything that had happened to you. He hummed to himself, the cogs turning in his head. "I can't think of any other reason why you'd come here-- finding and trusting in me is a huge gamble that you won," he clarified, turning away from Barbara's blank stare. "the ancient Khaenri'ahn technology scattered around Sumeru won't be of any use if you were considering taking the fight to your impostor, the Irminsul Tree could be a good reason but I can't see any way you'd use it to help you, though knowledge is always good to have anyways."
He scoffed, reclining into the dirt of your cave. "Archons, imagine how ridiculous it would be if you just ran here because you had no choice but to! Like a bunch of scared animals, ahaha!"
You slowly sink behind your lyre as he continues.
"In my time here, you're infamous for always evading their grasp-- heck, there's even an entire division of scholars here dedicated to just trying to figure out how in the world you do it. Some say you're a master at faking trails, some say you have some sort of... psychic power that lets you read the mind of your enemies so you can anticipate their moves."
He shrugs.
"Honestly, I'm more inclined to believe that last one-- in my brief time as your Vessel before your descent, you somehow managed to find information about me, despite my entire existence being wiped from the Irminsul Tree. Add to that the experiences that your other Vessels had, and it's a pretty compelling case." A sigh. "Shame that probing is one-sided though, a peek into the mind of the 'Divine Deceiver' or 'Overseer' or whatever fancy title you call yourself would be quite intriguing. Who knows what schemes are you cooking up in there. Now tell me,"
He straightens, eyes boring into yours from where you were, at this point, hiding in shame behind your lyre. "why are you here in Sumeru?"
"Aha... ha... haaa..." If you had a pyro vision, your face would be on fire by now. You had to turn away, the warmth of embarrassment creeping down your neck. "Well, uhm..." You clear your throat, gulping as you try to even find the words to explain how much of a legitimately normal person you are, who was practically forced to grow brain cells specifically for scheming because if you didn't you would die.
"So, uh...ah he he he... heh..." you take a breath, a shaky grin on your lips. "So, you know how reality is sometimes stranger than fiction?"
He raises an eyebrow.
"Well..."
You vaguely gesture, hoping that your flailing would get your message across.
He stares at you. He stares some more. He blinks.
"No."
"Yeah."
"No..."
"Yeah...
"NO."
"YEAH--"
His mouth drops in shock as he tries to process what you're implying. The rumors painted a... much prettier and mightier picture of you than the both of you thought.
"I-- you-- wha-- how-- what?!"
He takes a breath, chest rising despite his lack of a need for air. He pinches the bridge of his nose, and you get the feeling that he's restraining himself from grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you stupid.
"So, you're telling me. That the 'Divine Deceiver' and their little posse made of a literal god, the once-captain of Mondstat's Knights of Favonius, and Mondstat's most renowned healer idol, have, quite literally, been running around like rats all over Teyvat and somehow, somehow staying alive by a thread?!"
"I KNOW MAN, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE'RE STILL ALIVE--"
"Oh my--"
He begins to growl, a black orb of anemo energy collecting in his palm. You squeak as you try to scramble to your feet, his face full of rage.
And the whirling winds in your cavern suddenly stops, Wanderer dismissing the dark energy in his hand. "Oh, relax."
He blows a raspberry at you, as you groan and sit back down. You bring your lyre back out from where you unconsciously disappeared it and clutch it like a lifeline.
"God, I never knew your idle could be that scary."
"...Idle?"
Barbara waves off his question, a sheepish expression on her face as she fixes her curls back into place. "Its... complicated. You'll learn more about it as you travel with us." She hands him the used and cleaned bowls and utensils. "You... will travel with us, right?"
He scoffs, taking the bowls and disappearing them with a flash of light. "Of course I will. Its literally in my name. Besides, I have nothing that ties me down anymore so I might as well wander with you guys."
She smiles at him, ever sweet and ever kind. She settles back down near the fire, drying her soaking hands. Though Zhongli is still taking watch by the cavern entrance, you could see the slightest look of pleased approval in his face. "Though if you are going to be travelling and running from the law with me, we need to make a plan instead of scurrying around like rats."
And at that, the entire cavern groans in exhaustion. "Not now, please." "We'd like to have some rest first, Wanderer!" "Please, fuck, no-- I've had enough scheming for 3 thousand years--"
"Wait, so you did have a plan going into Sumeru?!"
You wave him off, hands going to rest back upon the strings of your trusty lyre. "Well, it was more of like... a guideline? A safety net? We had a couple ideas on what to do if we ever ended up in Sumeru and we, yknow, ended up in Sumeru so we'll probably do that."
You pluck a couple strings as you remember what you "planned". "I hadn't finished the Sumeru main quest yet and I hadn't unlocked all of the Statues of the Seven yet either. We were thinking of unlocking all the Statues first since, without them, my 'all-encompassing' game map is jack shit here in Sumeru, and then we were thinking of finishing the main quest to both progress the story and better the... political? climate here along with a few other benefits. After that..."
You make a face, much more aggressively playing at your lyre. "We really didn't want to split up the party but, I kinda wanna finish the main story quest in the Chasm but also we need to collect all the Dendroculous and Electroculous for more stamina and stuff. But also, I kinda wanna visit Dragonspine since..." You let yourself trail off, the makings and ideas of plans evident in your voice.
Wanderer merely stares at you for a moment, the game terms flying over his head as Barbara mouths at him, "I'll tell you about it later". You sigh, dreading the planning of tomorrow as your fingers calm on the strings. "But, we can plan tomorrow. Please. We almost died multiple times again." He sighs, relenting. "At least you have the skeleton of a plan."
"Yes!"
Humming, you sink into the soft ground, thanking the soils of Teyvat for giving you some comforts in this trying time. What little grass in the cave caresses you in gratitude, as you pluck at your instrument.
The Wanderer sighs, as he prepares a small pot of tea. "You've been messing with that thing all night and its about to grate at my ears. Do you even know how to play?"
You chuckle a bit, sheepish as you hand the lyre over to Barbara who plays a quick, jaunty tune with a flourish. "Well, I can sing...?"
He sighs again, bowing his head and resigned to the confirmation that you were much more... ridiculous than the gossip and rumors painted you as. "Then why are you the one with the lyre?"
You shrug as Barbara starts up another little song. "Gives me something to do with my hands. Helps me calm down. Diluc and Barbara have been teaching me though when we have the time."
Your soft smile at Barbara's song turns cheeky as you turn to him. "Wanna hear what they've taught me?"
"Sure, better than forcing this inane conversation."
You giggle maniacally as you smile at Barbara, the singer immediately catching your drift. "Follow me?" "To the ends of the earth."
You laugh, as she tunes the instrument to the right notes. "Not like that you sap!" "I know, I know! But yes, of course. His song right?"
You nod. "Yep."
"'My' song...?" Wanderer tilts his head in confusion, before realization dawns on his face.
"Hey, just because it has my-- ...that name, does not immediately mean its 'my song'."
The two of you handily ignore his slip up, you drinking some water in preparation for singing and Barbara testing the lyre if its in tune. "Oh, please," you say, sitting up. "you haven't even heard the full thing yet! It's definitely your song."
He sighs, leaning back against the cavern wall. "Very well then. Indulge me."
-
You start, reciting the beginning "poem" from memory. Barbara watches and waits, fingers hovering above the strings. Wanderer cocks his head, clearly interested. She begins playing as you get halfway, the lyre an excellent substitute for the piano. You continue, the Wanderer scoffing a little at the poem's mention of a poor boy needing no sympathy, but you pay it no mind. He hasn't heard the rest of the song yet.
"Mama,"
Barbara picks up on her playing, wringing the lyre out for all its worth for those deep chords and piano-like sounds.
"Just killed a man,"
You summoned the small drum you bought from a merchant in Inazuma in preparation.
"Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead,"
You close your eyes, swaying to the tune of the song.
"Mama, life had just begun,"
You didn't need to open your eyes to know that he's really listening now.
"But now I've gone and thrown it all away!"
You quickly tap on the drum, trying in vain to mimic the band's performance.
"Mama!, oooh,"
Zhongli was sat at the entrance with his legs crossed and humming along.
"Didn't mean to make you cry,"
Wanderer was still. You could almost hear the turning of the cogs in his mind.
"If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,"
The steady beat of the drum was a stark contrast to the deep, heavy feeling inside his chest.
"Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters."
His Vision pulsed, as his hand unconsciously came to caress it. Was this what it was like to have a heart?
Barbara's fingers were gentle on the strings as a set of footsteps approached the entrance of the cave. You could hear Little Lettuce's pitter-pattering and the dulcet tones of Zhongli and Diluc's voices as they catch up in the short time they've been separated.
"Too late, my time has come,"
He had closed his eyes, listening intently to the music as the waves of sound rocked him gently and deeply into his sea of memories.
"Sends shivers down my spine,"
He can see it now, those old fleeting moments of happiness before they were all ultimately destroyed.
"Body's aching all the time."
He could feel it, suddenly hyper aware of his joints and limbs. The feeling of phantom strings and hands pulling and pushing him like he was some puppet. (But it wasn't like he was ever anything else.)
"Goodbye, everybody. I've got to go,"
He could hear it, everyone's cries and wails of despair filling his ears as he sailed towards Inazuma City to beg the Shogunate (his mother) for mercy that they would not grant.
"Gotta leave you all behind to face the truth."
He could also hear the Doctor's cackling laughter as he began to weave his web of lies, webs that would replace the strings that she had put on him. That he had cut away.
"Mama!, oooh,"
He could see it, the light shining through the patches in the walls and the roof of that old hut. The kind and innocent smile on that sickly, young face.
"I don't wanna die,"
He could see it, red, red, red lapping up and eating away at the walls and roof of the house. Red, red, red all around them. As if he was asleep in a meadow of flowers. (or sinking into a pool of blood)
"I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.!"
You all gave him his moment, deep in his sea of memories. Diluc was wordlessly playing the zither, an imperfect substitute for an electric guitar. He'd noiselessly joined into your impromptu concert after he was caught up on the situation by Zhongli who had promptly disguised the mouth of the cavern as some kind of rock formation.
As he played, you thought back to the Wanderer's words. To the moment you first heard him say that-- his character teaser. Your heart had clenched back then, tears pricking the corners of your eyes but you couldn't help chuckling at his words-- that ever iconic song playing in your head. But you know that there was nothing to chuckle about here, Wanderer holding the brim of his hat in an almost vice-like grip. His jaw is clenched.
You all silently agreed to let the solo drag on at least a little bit longer. He takes a sharp breath. (You all know its his way of saying his thanks.)
Barbara begins plucking the lyre in a jaunty little tune, and you couldn't help but crack a grin. The atmosphere's heavy, but it's beginning to lift anyway.
"I see a little silhouetto of a man,"
The Wanderer scoffs, already knowing the next few lines by heart thanks to you. You all readily ignore the wetness in his sound.
"Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?!"
You were surprised at everyone joining in. Wanderer especially, being caught so off-guard that he jumped in his seat. "For the nth time, no I won't!" Barbara giggles as you push onwards, a manic grin on your face.
"Thunderbolt and lightning!"
Diluc only smiles at the mildly disgruntled Wanderer, his Divine Overseer and Mondstadt's Deaconess having stood up to sing their hearts out. "I'm pretty sure that's not gonna be the last time you say that to them."
"Very, very frightening, me!"
The singing duo once again became lost in the music of the song, belting their hearts and lungs out for their one audience member. Said audience member could only crack a smile and reply, "I had a feeling."
"Galileo, Galileo,"
You had all but screeched out said scientist's name as you pointed to Zhongli. When faced with the Wanderer's incredulous look, he could only gain a fond look in his eyes, shrug and say, "You get used to it over time."
"Galileo, Galileo,"
"Wait, you're all used to this?!" Barbara's sheepish as she answers. "They sing as a coping mechanism. We kind of picked it up over time as well." Diluc shrugs again. "It's better than alcoholism."
"Galileo, Figaro! - Magnifico, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,"
Wanderer cringes-- despite this, a smile is growing on his face. "You don't have to vocalize the echoes, you imbecile!" You merely put a hand to your forehead, aiming to up the drama with your next lyrics.
"I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me,"
He feels the tug of old memories, of old traumas still clinging to his skin. But he pays them no mind, knowing he must march onwards to the future. A future paved by a ragtag group of wanted divine beings and important people that are beginning to worm his way into his chest.
"He's just a poor boy from a poor family,"
Oh no. He's feeling it again.
"Spare him his life from this monstrosity!"
He cannot help but watch you all sing.
Barbara's fingers fly on the strings.
"Easy come,"
He felt what he felt back then, before she had forsaken him.
"Easy go,"
He felt what he felt back then, before he was fooled into thinking he had left him-- left them.
"Will you let me go?"
He felt what he felt back then, before he was torn away from him with no bigger enemy to blame but his own mortality.
"Bismillah! No!"
It was affection. It was care.
"We will not let you go!
(Let him go!)"
Oh archons, he's starting to care.
"Bismillah! We will not let you go!
(Let him go!)"
For hundreds of years, he's hardened his heart and closed himself off from everyone and everything. Sworn to scrub himself clean of human emotions.
"Bismillah! We will not let you go!
(Let me go!)"
And yet, for those same hundreds of years, he had never fully closed himself off-- never fully scrubbed away the feeling of... feeling.
"Will not let you go! (Let me go!)"
He couldn't help but glance at those two, fingers flying across the strings of their instruments. Humans, can they really be trusted?
"Will not let you go! (Let me go!)
His eyes slowly drifted to the other two, one ancient and the other practically a newborn. Can the gods really make him feel anything other than loathing?
"Never let you go!
(Never, never, never let me go!)"
He takes in their entire performance, all of them being their pure, complete, and unadulterated selves. With no masks to keep on, or roles to maintain. Merely singing, and dancing, and playing these instruments just for the heck of it.
"Oh, oh, oh!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
For centuries, he has roamed this world-- seeing and meeting many new people, and yet never regarding any of them as his companions.
"Oh, mama mia, mama mia!"
Would he be able to regard these people as such?
"Mama mia, let me go!"
Would he be able to trust them, like the did with the others? To stay and not break their promises with him?
"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,"
Would he be able to hold on to them, and they not let go as they had been claiming over and over?
"For me!"
Well, he has no choice in the matter. He's stuck with them now, as wanted fugitives.
"For me!"
Only time will tell if they forsake him like those before him. At least he's safe in the comfort that the world had forsaken them as well. Just like him. He hopes that strange sort of kinship makes you understand. He hopes it makes you stay.
You whooped with joy as Barbara absolutely nailed that note, Diluc quickly shredding on the zither afterwards. You would've given it to Zhongli but-- the man hasn't played a guitar before. And you need a certain "je ne sais quoi" to really pull off what Queen was doing. ...Also, you needed the sound of a guitar for the song.
You glance back to the Wanderer, mostly silently listening this whole time. He was lightly bopping his hand to the beat. You smile, taking whatever victories you can get. "Beelzebub? Really?" You blow a raspberry at him, preparing for the next part of the song. "I'll tell you about it later!" You clear your throat.
"So, you think you can stone me and spit in my eye!"
Diluc hits that sick riff.
"So, you think you can love me and leave me to die?!"
Barbara, even if she's practically undetectable underneath Diluc's strumming and your-- excuse me, Zhongli's drum beating, is still managing to bring up and compliment every single one of you performing.
"Oh, baby!"
You swear, if you all weren't wanted fugitives forced to live on the LAM because of a crime you didn't commit, you'd be a killer band.
"Can't do this to me baby!"
You do gotta thank Zhongli for subtly swiping away the drums from you-- you frankly weren't quite sure how you'd be able to focus on giving this song the power ballad it deservers while also playing an instrument.
"Just gotta get out,"
Despite all your peeking on Wanderer for his opinions on the song and to check on his emotional state, you weren't exactly omniscient. You were, afterall, still performing and still getting lost in the music.
"Just gotta get right outta here!"
So you didn't notice the twinge of an... almost fond emotion lacing his face as he watches you rock out to this classic. What can you say, Diluc kills it on the zither.
The sound builds and builds, Barbara layering on top of it and you not being able to resist the urge to air guitar to it as it slowly reaches its crescendo... And crashes back down, Zhongli and Diluc humming along to the sound.
"Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah,"
You gasp for breath, the end of the song finally coming up. Diluc's energetic playing slows down, signaling the finale.
"Nothing really matters,"
You feel sweat dripping down your skin, having danced and moved around-- possessed by the power of the song.
"Anyone can see,"
You lean your back against the cave wall, relishing in its coolness as you bring the song to a close.
"Nothing really matters... Nothing really matters, to me..."
You sigh as you sink, pleased and satisfied at everyone's performance.
"Any way the wind blows..."
Zhongli finishes it off with the rapping of the drum, mimicking a cymbal crash to his best ability. Barbara beams at the Wanderer, who looks like he's regretting singing along to that last part.
"So," you ask, out of breath. "what'cha think about the song?"
Wanderer waves off Barbara's tired but happy smile, poofing the fourth bowl back into existence and busying his hands. He prepares Diluc's Shimi Chazuke as he hums.
"Well, despite it being a complete emotional roller coaster and the utter gibberish that it contains, I suppose that its worthy being called 'my song', as you will."
"I'll fucking take it! Fives all around guys, good job!" You quickly double high five everyone in the group-- Zhongli letting you slam your hands down on his, Barbara being a quick pair of one-two taps, and Diluc just lightly bumping his full hands into yours. You turn to Wanderer, waiting for him to high five you. "You too, hat boy-- you joined in the song, you get some fives."
At least Diluc had the decency to look away when he huffed in amusement. "Hat boy?! Let me tell you, I've gone through many names and titles during my journey. And each one is more eminent than any ordinary mortal could ever imagine!"
As he said these words, his heart slowly sank to his feet as he saw the stupid, cheeky smile growing on your face. "Yes, yes... But! and I quote, 'they're all just water under the bridge to me now.
Call me whatever you like. Go ahead, let me see what you can come up with.'" The Wanderer's eye twitched.
"And that's the best you can come up with?! If you know me so well, oh, great Overseer, then you would very much know that I'm also telling you to not disappoint me! Tell me, All-Knowing Guide, am I not disappointed?!" You snorted, too tired from the day's events to feel any sort of proper fear and trepidation at this situation. "Then, I'll just keep thinking of names until something sticks, mushroom head." You pat his head. "Now, how in the world did you even get here Lulu?"
He sips from his bowl full of rice and tea. "Doro44 Sumeru Chasm sneakpeek. Would've gotten here faster if the place wasn't absolutely surrounded by treasure hoarders and Fatui. Had a bit of trouble finding it as well, since it was behind some rock walls." He grabs a small twig from the ground and starts drawing. "Its a sort of cave that's absolutely overgrown by giant roots." "You dare to ignore me?!"
You flash that same cheeky grin at him again. "We didn't ignore you, we just changed the subject!"
Nope, he takes it all back. He hates all of you.

AND THATS A FUCKING WRAP AUGHHHHHHHHH-- broooooo, you would not BELIEVE how hard this was to write. both because Bohemian Rhapsody is SUCH a long song but also because of SOOOO many outside circumstances. like BRUH i was supposed to release this like a day after my castaways fic but NOOOOOOOO-- life got so in the way man. my parents started breathing down my neck for chores, we had to visit my relatives in the province (still in the province btw lol), i got FUCKING SICK BECAUSE OF STRESS AND DUST ALLERGIES and i literally spent like-- my first few days sick making my sickness FUCKING WORSE since our house was literally covered in dust and i was the only one who could clean it fucking apparently. bro, i even spent this goddamn christmas fucking sick. ugh this has been such a hell week. literally the only comfort i found this week was all genshin related AHAHA-- i was playing genshin, visiting the SAGAU tag a lot, waiting for fanfics to update, just generally genshin brainrotting.
ugh thank god i finally released this one. i do have a lot of ideas for this down the road and hell dawg! i even got a request! thats the one thatll be coming up next. i wrote like-- a massive part of this sick and it got sOOOOO out of hand ever since i didnt get to finish it that day so i hope it sticks together well and is mostly coherent. enjoy!! :))

✧ - return of dawn
trying to return to writing again :)) also changing themes / aesthetics for a bit until i find one i like, sorry
cw: speculations about dilucs return to mondstadt, if they talked about that in the new event i havent seen it yet, not beta read, entirely in lower case, x reader, slight childhood lovers trope? wc: 671
Tumblr media
the mondstadt you lived in now was nothing like how it once was. once upon a time, it was like a land from a storybook. there was once a beautiful crimson haired knight, a cavalry captain with enough passion to spark the entire force. he was was like a bright torch for the entire city. now, everything seemed so dark.
you could remember those years pretty well. you could remember how happy mondstadt felt when crepus was still alive, when the brothers still got along. you could remember the uproar the day the title of "knight" was cast aside, the winery forgotten. but more so than anything, you couldn't wait for him to return.
maybe it was just you, but this sadness seemed to manifest like perpetual clouds over the land of freedom. everything continued as normal, yet everything about it seemed so wrong. the dawn winery was still open and everything, but it felt like a skeleton of what it once was.
suddenly keenly aware of the sound of your shoe tapping against the stone ground, you snapped out of your reverie. your list of errands was still grasped within your hand but you were no closer to finishing them than you were when you started out.
the buildings around you loomed in the way they always had, the townspeople milling about as usual. nothing fundamental had changed over the past few years, everyone seeming to live just fine in a way you weren't capable of. you seemed to be the only one still haunted by the ghosts of what you never had.
the current cavalry captain was still around, but perhaps it was a good thing the grand master had taken all the horses with him when he left. you couldn't help but think that seeing the majestic horses the knights rode on traveling down the streets would remind you of the gentle fiery one, the same one who would lean down from atop his saddle to offer you a dainty flower, freshly picked from his latest mission. he would smile boyishly at you, the sheepish expression on his face wonderfully endearing.
there was a small crowd around good hunter as you moved up toward the counter. you counted to yourself the mora you needed as the people behind you conversed.
"haven't you heard? they say the darknight hero was out fighting again last night!"
"the darknight hero? hmm... that name does sound familiar."
your eyes were down toward your newly-purchased ingredients as you loaded them into a bag, but your attention was nowhere near such a mundane task. the conversation behind you was leagues more interesting. the darknight hero? you'd heard a little about this mysterious crime-fighter, though you didn't know much. just down the road, donna was always talking about him.
you read over the things you still needed to buy while mulling over what was known about said hero. most witnesses claimed he wore all black and used fire, but that was about it. fire... even the idea of it made you remember the once-brilliant knight you once knew. you shook your head, shaking such silly thoughts away before you fell down that trail. it couldn't be him, there was no need to delude yourself.
you rounded the street corner casually, lifting your eyes from the list between your fingers. you stopped suddenly, the small piece of paper falling forgotten from your grasp. before you, for the first time in years, stood diluc.
the clouds began to break, the night began to lift. he turned toward you, the gaze in his eyes still gentle and loving despite the obvious growth he went through in both height and brawn. his lips parted to say something to you, but it was lost as you stared at him in shock. the shadows around him were dark and long yet he stood out to you like the sun. you moved toward him, mouth parted in disbelief and fingers outstretched as if you expected him to disappear.
the dawn had returned.

lmao the blonde parts are supposed to be teal but i havent had a chance to redye them in foreverr … also yes ! my xiao jacket ! its not the only one out there though LOL
the wall youre seeing is actually my best friend roofs long lost sibling , wall /j
BEFORE 6 !? i could never i always go to bed at like 12am …. im so sleep deprived on school days lol
ME AND THAT FRIEND DID SO MANY SILLY THINGS IN OUR MATH/STEM CLASS LMAO we used to play genshin wish sim (im very young T_T) and say weird things to summon characters (i told the computer id help make kaeya dilucs brother again to get diluc , and BOTH OF THEM CAME HOME IN THE SAME PULL) tbh ive always complained ab stairs so ,,, i cant even take the stairs in my building anymore bc i live on the 9th floor itd take way too long 😭
we have a lot of the same top 5s , kaeya , diluc , and scara share #1 because … yes . my favorite gal is fischl i love her sm -
i have 11 5*s (not including aloy) , and im currently pulling for sir acting grand scribe himself ! im at around late 30 pity , if he does / doesnt come home i will make self ship art because i dont think he would like that >:)
GOOD TO KNOW ITS GOING WELL im actually making notes for a fic i wanna write on call w my previously mentioned friend roof LOL ive had the idea ever since the nilotpala cup event , i really wanted to make like an actual fic based off of it bc that girl from the yae publishing house was supposed to or wtv HAHAH but im procrastinating on a title so im just . UGH - yk ?
i did have a good day both the day you replied and today ! i am injured but its not bad (only hurts when i move certain ways) , i went on a field trip for school today and got to go in a ✨stream✨ and pick up a little crawfish >:D i hope youre doing good as well !! its so nice talking to you lmao youre so cool
i might start sending doodles every ask , so heres a sketch of my genshin oc !!
Tumblr media
my “question” issss guess what region theyre from ! or who they live with LOL the hint is that there are already playables from their region , and there are technically two regions theyre from ?? you can guess just one though ill give you the answer next ask :P
- jellyfish
i think it's because i'm already used to waking up early... even tho i'm a very sleep deprived student that sleeps at 12-1 and wakes up at 5 😔 i'm fairly a light sleeper so no matter what time i sleep, whenever my alarm goes off i'm always up by the second 🥲
and LMAOO i've played a ton of those wish sims to prevent myself from rolling whenever i'm saving up for a character, it works wonders
i didn't really expect you to like fischl!!! i like using her in events where we have her as a trial character lol using oz in her burst and flying around is so silly but i always have fun with it!
seems like we're both on the run for alhaitham :D currently have 72 pity and he still has yet to arrive... i do not have a guarantee whatsoever so the next time i pull i'm gonna be praying for him to come home 😔 i've already explored most of the new area for him
and that fic idea sounds interesting! i briefly forgot about that event so when you mentioned it i'm suddenly reminded of how fun playing with the fungi was!! hope you'll find many inspiration for your supposed title, and who knows, next thing you know you're hitting the post button for your fic 🤭
hope you're healing well from your injury also!! have lots of rest and don't overexert yourself too much, resting is very important hehe
it's nice to know that you went on a field trip :O i haven't been to one in a while so hearing it from you reminded me how fun it always is to go on one and escape school (tbf i think we can agree at least half of the students that volunteer on field trips only do it to skip classes LMAO #guilty)
i think if i had to guess, it's a mix between mondstadt and sumeru, maybe? i'm either really wrong or really right since my basic skills of knowledge on each regions' outfits are very minimal 😵‍💫
a question for you; how was your week? tell me all about it!! hehe i honestly like hearing people talk about their day and week because it's undeniably so interesting to know what others have been up to and how different some people's lives can be from ours! hope i'm not rambling too much... i just really like listening to people talk and talk about their life

HI THE GENSHIN PLAYER IS BACK but first of all, happy holidays :>>>> and i saw you were feeling a little down lately, i hope you feel happier soon <3 sending some love your way <33333
nah i get what you mean with all the claymore characters, they were all i got at the start too 😭 and i ran out of weapons for them as well so i had some characters with no weapons (bc i didn’t play them and i didn’t want to just leave a weapon there)
BUT WITH THE 50/50 ive been relatively lucky so far, that’s bc i barely pull 😭😭😭 which is bc I have no primogens (sighs in f2p) ive only lost one 50/50 so far to qiqi, but then again i haven’t been playing as long as others
Hi im so so so sorry for getting to this very late 🥹 i haven't been active here (or anywhere except of my personal instagram & scrolling youtube tbh lol) and that's why i havent been replying to any asks.I'm still not where I wish I could be, but definitely better so here i am!
How are we feeling about the few recent banners!! I pulled for Alhaitam and lost him to Diluc 🥴🥴🥴 i didnt want him ((that)) much but needed a dendro (im gonna build yaoyao once i have the motivation lol) but it sucks to lose to diluc 😭😭 wish it was Mona instead🥹🥹 2 years of playing and she's the only one from the original standard banner that I haven't got

+ one thing that rlly amplified my curiosity abt dottore is what nahida said abt him ngl !! iirc she said "he never felt a sense of belonging" and "he never made peace w himself" which is probably why the segments he himself made dont get along despite all of them being him in different timelines :(( quite sad if u ask me but he did so many irredeemable stuff so ... 💀💀 im very curious abt him and how dottore became dottore fr !! i need more dottore lore hmrnhmr
+ pls i was scared of keqing too 💔 but i managed !! she is sooo worth getting she's amazing <33 now im kinda playing around w summons !! i used fischl, collei, and xiangling together and it was fun !! it's just the summons doing all the work for u 😭
+ oooh good luck !! the inside of that artifact domain is sooo pretty i dont mind camping in there HSJA i hope u get better rolls fr bc getting def over and over is just straight up disheartening :// literally happened to both of nahida and thoma's em circlets pls seeing it hurts me sm that i went back to the gilded domain LMAO but clearing it up has been waaay easier now that my burgeon team is coming together !! i once cleared it under 40 secs and im like huh ?? they're all underleveled ?? 😭 i still havent resolved thoma's energy issues though so i'll have to work on that aaa he better cooperate w me rn i am on my knees begging
+ nauurr i hope u get satisfactory results though !! may not be perfect but at least it's not bad !! get ur mind to rest and take a break for now ♥️ u deserve it
i don’t blame u thoma is so babygirl !! idk i just have this feeling that he somehow can belt these songs and it’s so attractive to me <33
+ he’s got a closet full of bones and a curiosity thats never been sated !! we know pierro got him to join the harbingers but i wanna know what his life was before??? i think we’re getting it in a few patches !! hopefully though bcos im so excited for his lore :,))
+ help diluc and ayaka have been saving my ass in tcg !! i played a bit last night and i managed to beat xingqui + diluc !! i need to work on my supports’ cards but i’m slowly building them up. it rly all depends on the summons 😭 like luckily i got wgs and crimson witch for diluc almost every time and he does so well w melt ugh 😩
+ it is!! but it takes me a while to finish it since i don’t bring kazuha anymore for cc <//3 and i wanna level up layla’s friendship lvl!! i manage to farm enough for her last night and she’s lvl 70 :,)) i wish there was an f2p option for her weapon w hp stats bcos im never gonna pull for the key of khaj-nisut <//3 i got crit dmg circlet from kuni’s set but… 3x it rolled in def so <//3 i just know that domain will be hell since i haven’t got a decent piece— not even a flower!! when i usually get decent flower every time i farm a domain for the first time !! also good luck on ur burgeon team!! 40 seconds is amazing :,)) thoma’s rly shining ever since sumeru !! i hope you better rng on ur artifacts farming <33

HII i havent really submitted anything before so i hope this is ok! could i ask for the "When it comes to wake you up after a “restless” night. (Diluc, Zhongli, Kaeya)" but with albedo? its totally okay if not! thank you for reading!
Answer below ❤
"When it comes to wake you up after a “restless” night" Xiao/Venti/Albedo
f!reader
Headcanons NSFW (18+)
Not for minors !
Summary: Your lover had completely exhausted you, not letting you sleep until the early hours of the day. He is the first to wake up to get on with his daily chores, leaving you to sleep a few more hours. Noticing that you are still asleep as the morning is about to end, he decides to wake you up by himself... forgetting that you were still naked under the sheets.
Masterlist
Diluc, Zhongli, Kaeya part 1
Tumblr media
Xiao
Xiao is a HYPER sensitive man, both emotionally and physically.
You can be sure that once he has tasted the pleasure of the flesh, he will come back for more.
He loves you more than anyone else on Teyvat and he considers sex one of the best ways to show it.
In public, Xiao is often reluctant to touch you. He will tend to stare intently at your hands or lips. If you surprise him, he will turn his face away abruptly, trying to hide the redness on his cheeks. (He doesn't know you can see it on his ears, so cute.)
Don't tease him, he might take it the wrong way, yell at you and run away, you won't see him for a couple of days. Gently hold his hand, if you do, you can be sure he won't hesitate to touch you again.
He loves it when you kiss him. Whether it's his cheeks, his lips, his hands, he loves your touch. You soothe him... He who suffers continuously from his karmic debt, from his past sins, you are an infinite source of happiness in his eyes.
When you are both alone in Xiao's room at the Wangshu Inn, he will be very affectionate. He will often wrap his arms around your waist or chest, peppering your neck with sweet kisses.
Xiao warms up quickly. Be prepared for intense, daily sexual activity!
But don't worry, he's learned to control his own orgasm. He'll only let himself come when you've had yours.
Like I said, this man warms up quickly. Want another round? He'll be ready in a second and as many times as needed!
Xiao had not slept all night.
When you plunged into sleep, Xiao had to leave reluctantly to perform his yaksha duties.
The sun was already high in the sky when he returned. Too exhausted to pay attention to his surroundings, he didn't notice your sleeping form in bed, instead heading to the shower to clean up and cool off. The day was particularly hot, which Xiao couldn't stand. He quickly removed his clothes, tossing them aside. He noticed his reflection in the mirror, littered with bites and hickeys from last night. Red flushed in his cheeks as images of your lovemaking flashed through his mind.
"Tch."-He turned away from the mirror sharply, too embarrassed by the excitement that was slowly building inside him.
The cold water did him the world of good and when he came out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist, he froze in place when he heard a moan. He thought at first that you were awake for a long time, probably downstairs helping Verr. He'd forgotten how much sleep humans could need, so when he thought about it, he hadn't let you rest until the early hours of the day.
He cautiously approached you. Your legs were bent over, you were clutching a cloth that looked like one of his tops and, by the archons, you were still naked! Quickly, he felt his sex harden at the sight of your body, which he had adored only hours ago. He always thought you were beautiful, with or without clothes. How was he supposed to let you rest when he found you with nothing on!?
"Damn it! This woman is going to drive me crazy." - he said in a desperate tone.
Xiao climbed onto the bed, straddling you shamelessly. He turned you on your back, instantly waking you up with a scream. He silenced you with a rough kiss, ripping off the tank top you were holding, freeing your chest of all embarrassment. His hands came to cup your breasts whose nipples were already hardened, massaging them greedily. He let go of your swollen lips to better admire you.
"Xiao."
He kissed your skin, moving down from your neck to your chest and finally your lower abdomen. His hands tenderly caressed your skin, moving up your thighs to your knees, spreading them further apart as his face approached your womanhood.
"Xiao... Please." - you planted one of your hands in his hair.- "I love you Xiao."
"(y/n) - He gently kissed your inner thigh. - "I love you too."
He dove between your thighs, making sure to take you to heaven.
Tumblr media
Venti
Venti loves the act of love, such an intimate, human act that allows him to express himself as much as his verse.
He is originally a wind spirit, sex is a totally unknown thing to him. He didn't even think he was capable of feeling emotions like desire. Having lived with humans has made him discover all the possibilities that a heart offers.
You have radically changed his life. Love was no longer just a poem to him, he lived it, felt it, desired it. He cherished and protected you more than anything else. You will notice that he is completely different when he is with you than when he is with his friends. He is gentle, serious and loving as you are with him.
He loves physical affection! Whether at home or away, he will never hesitate to kiss or cuddle you.
He will never force you to do anything. He'll always make sure you agree to anything he does.
When you're home alone, he likes to make you sit between his legs and then put his hands on the warm skin of your belly. He loves to tease you when it's just the two of you, your laughter is his salvation!
Venti must have his fix! I told you, he loves your touch and when he is really excited and well... Be prepared for him to over-simulate and not get much sleep...
Venti had been up for a while dressed and walking the streets looking for a good breakfast to offer you. Often men and women he passed would ask him why he had such a wide smile on his face, Venti would simply tell them that he was just very happy. He was always happy with you, but every time he had carnal relations with you, his heart was full of it.
He bought you apples, juice, bread and a good piece of cheese! To add to your pleasure, he paid for it with his own hard-earned moras. Satisfied with his purchases, Venti went home. He prepared a tray for you, beautifully decorated with a flower from Cecilia, which he brought to your room.
The room was pleasantly lit by the soft rays of the morning sun. Seeing that you were still asleep, Venti placed his tray on the table that decorated your room. He walked over to the bed, jumping on it to kneel on the mattress next to you.
"(y/n) Wake up!"
"Hmmmm."
"Wake up!" - He shook you lightly before leaning down to kiss your neck.
"Still sleepy ~"
Venti laughed to himself. To tease you, he pulled the blanket off your shoulders before remembering that you hadn't put any clothes back on last night. He opened his eyes wide at first, his cheeks slightly rosy, then flashed a small, sly smile.
"Venti! It's cold!" - The naughty expression on his face froze you in place. -
His hands moved slyly over your body.
"Too bad, I'd gotten you a breakfast like you like.... - he kissed your belly and then each of your breasts, forcing a moan from your mouth. - "Haha, too bad, we'll eat it later! I have another meal waiting for me... "
On his words, he nibbled your lips making his fingers flow to your sex...
Tumblr media
Albedo
Like Diluc, Albedo hides his game very well.
It is true that at the beginning of your relationship communication was complicated. He was not used to having conversations with others, preferring the company of his books and alchemical materials.
He put a lot of effort into himself for you (and only for you).
Albedo is not shy about physical contact, although he won't initiate it on his own, if you hold his hand or ask him for a hug in public, he will accept without hesitation!
He won't say it directly, but he loves to feel you against him. You only have to see the slight smile on his face to understand that he likes it.
Like Xiao, Albedo will be completely addicted to you after your first time. He'll often give you suggestive looks or kiss you on the neck and behind the ear to let you know that he wants to.
He carefully studies your every reaction, recording every point that makes you moan with pleasure. He's good, really good.
Albedo can be really hard in bed. He'll tend to start out slow until he gets carried away with his desires. Kiss the mark on his neck and you can be sure that you will end up the next moment in bed or on any surface where he can take you!
It is when Albedo returns to Mondstadt after several days away from Mount Dragonspine, that he will tend to have long sessions with you. He is usually more romantic and sensual, he has missed you and wants to make sure you know it.
Albedo had been up for a long time, working on the research he had brought back from Dosdragon and hadn't had time to read it over.
He had barely slept for a few hours, his eyes burning a little, but he was used to it. Coffee in hand, he read each line, correcting from time to time formulas that he had written.
After rereading his documents once, twice and then three times, he put his pen down on the kitchen table, sighing with fatigue. He removed the three cups of coffee he had drunk in the last few hours and washed them in the sink.
He looked at the clock, it said 11:49. He wondered if you had gotten up without him noticing. Curious, he looked around the house for you, calling your name softly.
When he got no answer, he went up to your room to see if you were still sleeping. When he opened the door, he spotted your form draped under the covers. You were lying on your stomach, your hair strewn across your back. Albedo noticed your nakedness when he saw the parting of your buttocks protruding from the blanket.
He looked at you for a long time without moving, just enjoying the view, but eventually he took his sketchbook to immortalize the moment. After a few sketches of you, he placed his material on your bedside table before lying down next to you, admiring your sleeping face and pushing a few strands of hair over your face. He stroked your skin, touched your lashes, watched your features until you opened your eyes, smiling at the sight of your lover.
"Hello there."-You intertwined your fingers with his hand that brushed your lips. -
"Hello."
You moved closer to him, snuggling into his arms. His eyes never left you, even when he lifted your chin to kiss your lips. It is at this moment that his hands strayed in your back, skirting the line of your spine, stopping a moment in the middle of the way to stick you a little more to him, to finally finish its race until your buttocks. He caressed them languorously, enjoying the noise of rubbing of his skin against yours and the moans that you let escape from your throat. Finally letting go of your ass, he moved down your thigh to your knee, grabbing it to place it on his hip.
Your excitement was palpable by the flush on your cheeks and your misty eyes. He loved having this effect on you.
Once he had you securely locked to his hip, he let go of your leg and moved up to your sex, stroking your clit with his fingertips. You were already ready for him, but he wanted to take you for the first time with his hand. He easily planted a finger inside your womanhood, slowly rubbing your walls before adding a second finger.
"Albedo, j-je, aaah, don't tease me please! - He smiles at your comment. -
"You are so beautiful, let me observe you a little longer..."
The bulge in his pants hurt, but he was a patient man, very patient...
Tumblr media
Hi! No worries, I don't mind at all, I'm even happy! I love Albedo, I wasn't going to do the same headcanons for him but it motivated me! Thanks for your request <3

Hashira ft. Sabito as genshin impact players
aunotes : Bad grammar ahead! I didnt proofread it so be aware of brain damage. plus i initially wrote it at the 1.6 update
PART 1 : T.Muichiro, R.Kyojuro, K.Shinobu, S.Sanemi, U.Tengen 
Muichiro : he probably would be uninterested at first. He's more to first person shooting game or anything other than this concept of farming or investing. So that's why when he saw yuichirou banging his fist on his desk, trying to get his fav character, he would simply just watch
"Fck this game, i've had enough,"
"But you havent finish your wishing things yet,"
Stares. "How about you give it a try mui. You might get the character i want,"
"You sure about that? You might get angry at me," "better than nothing. Now go go, get em you donkey,"
His first ten pulls on the game brings out a light we all want to see
"Eh is tha-" "AAAA A FUCKING 5 STAR FCK FCKFCK,"
Apparently, it was one of the luckiest wish yuichiro had ever seen so far
"OHMYFUCK, you GOT A GODDAMN KLEE, QIQI AND SUCROSE WTFF???"
"I think i get your fav character?"
"Yeahh!! More than that to be honest. I want klee but you brought me two more person," sniffles and cries "you're really lucky mui. You should try and play the game,"
"It's probably the system. I doubt im that lucky tho,"
Nah, he really is lucky. Apparently he wished for his friends and got what they all really wanted for so long
"Thank you for getting me the aquila favonia, muichiro,"
"It's nothing really. I just simply press the button. It might be the system that's giving you the thing you want when i wish,"
"But still, even if i were to wish, i can get really scared and paranoid over it,"
"That's bad. You shouldnt invest yourself that much in the game tanjiro. It's just a game,"
"Ehehehe, i guess so. But you're really good at it muichiro! If you download it, we can play together :D!"
!!!!
It took the word "play together" to get muichiro down on his knee for that game. Usually the idea of playing with your friends is not that interesting. So when tanjiro said that, you bet he's going to play it
Type of player
Extremely lucky it's not even real. He got a five star on the beginner's banner
Fast farming. He probably will complete all the quest and become an endgame player within one month
"I just wanted to play with tanjiro..." bashfully
He's really good with whatever he's doing. Attack combo, dodging, elemental reaction and all sorts of stuff. If he invest more of his time on artifacts, he would probably even one shot it!!
He's very lucky. Very
Kyojuro : he wouldnt even know the existence of this game. Well, he took a glimpse of it one day and boom, heart stolen. Maybe it was the fiery burning passion in bennett that made him play the game.
'oh wow!! What a determined young boy! Even though he has a very bad luck he still keep pushing forward! Amazing!!'
'I want to be like him'
Kyojuro's the type of player to read and pay attention to every single lore of his fav character. Bennett, oh my how he wish he could've had bennett in his team. Every wishes he made would make him a c6 bennett main if only barbara wont stop coming home
"I really like you barbara but i dont want you!! Thank you for the c6 though!! I promise to use you in the future but just-" he prepares to wish
"not NOW!!" Clicks
The highest con of bennett he had ever gotten is probably c1. One day the paimon's bargain shop offered bennett as their monthly character. Kyojuro had never been so excited over a game before. He usually perks up over academics and not this kind of thing. But it's bennett, the character he admires the most.
Unfortunately he couldnt get it due to low currency. He had never feel so sad in his life.
"I shall not give up. Dont worry, i will be a c6 bennett main!!!"
He will be a c6 bennett haver!!
Type of player :
Carefully reads every stories and listens to their lines attentively. He finds it amazing how the company spent their everything on this game. It amazes him. From the stories, lores and lines, he truly appreciates it.
Balance his team pretty well. He mains bennett so he doesnt need that much of a healer in his team.
Enjoys bennett's hangout very much!! He tried to not get him killed by the dungeon's trap but ended up having to sacrifice him which ultimately ends the route. He had never felt so down and guilty before.
Not much of a damage dealer. He prefers to play it in normal mode and doesnt care that much about one shotting monster.
He feeds his character three meals a day!! If only there's a sleep option, he would be sending bennett to sleep first before the rest.
Everyone loves his teapot
Shinobu : found the game while she's scrolling through the app store out of boredom. Initially she played it on her phone but due to the fps and a really bad ping, so bad that douma wouldnt find her interesting anymore, she finally downloaded the game on her pc where things has starting to get real
"Ara, shinobu chan, it's lunch time already. Come downstairs please,"
"Sis give me five more minutes, JUST FIVE PLEASE I NEED TO KICK CHILDE's ASS,"
"he's not going anywhere sweetie,"
"yEAHH BUT MY BP IS,"
'Bp?'
"DIE DIE DIE!!" Aggresive clicking intensifies
"Shinobu chan dont hurt the keyboard that much!!"
She got lucky on the beginner's banner too and pulled a 5 star along with bennett and noelle. Who's the 5 star? Diluc Ragnvindr in all of his glory. Shinobu benched him sadly. She prefers sword over any other weapon
"I mean he's cool i guess but i just really dont get that 'WOAHHH COOL' vibe from him you know?"
"then give your diluc to me! I really want him so bad shinobu chan!"
Deep sighs "yeah sure. You can have my c2 diluc mitsuri..."
Loses 50/50 to diluc everytime everyone would think she either is lucky or cursed by the amount of that man greeting him on the screen. She still bench him though, sadly
"Im begging you, give me jEANN THE GRANDMASTER I NEED HEALER iN MY PARTY TO DO ABYSS
Type of player :
Suffers a lot in the abyss because she just want the primos which is a valid reason to do because that's the only thing that keeps her going
She's a sword character main. She'll properly build every character as either support or dps. The support would be kaeya and bennett, and her main dps ayaka
Ayaka main btw
Honestly at some point she wanted to quit the game because of how tiring it is but then inazuma came out
Fragile resin = 0
Resin = 160/160 happens once in a blue moon
"i should probably control myself with the amount of resin i've used,"
"But i cant,"
Hates domain but always can be seen playing in there
Only coops if mitsuri is there
"So that someone can calm me down,"
"That's not a really good reason shinobu chan,"
Sanemi : dude probably know the game through obanai. He watched the latter play and finds it interesting on how high the numbers he dealt. He loves challenges so a game like genshin impact would probably satisfy his need.
"Obanai, are you hearing this shit?"
"What is it sanemi, im busy doing this event,"
"That loser giyuu is also playing the game,"
"Oh yeah i know,"
"YOU KNOW? WHY YOU DIDNT TELL ME??"
"i just know right after you told me,"
"...."
Sanemi's a meta but a mediocre one. He's meta but he doesnt show it that much. Probably buys welkin once in every three months or when he really needs it same goes with battle pass too. Honestly, he really just use his money when he really needs something
"Donno if my allowance can buy me a welkin so i'll probably skip,"
"But the next banner is zhongli's,"
"....."
"Ah fuck it," buys
My man cant dodge after he got zhongli. Its very painful because he used to studies the enemies movement in the early game so that he can utilizes it on the team but zhongli's shield is so tank he forgot that dodging exists
"Im gonna kill you and you and you hhahaahhaah just you wait im gonna shred all of yo- oh shit zhongli's shield. puT IT BACK PUT IT BACK ON,"
That one event where zhongli's shield plays an important role in the domain? Yeah, he felt like a god at that time. Even got his c2 on his rerun. Sanemi just really like zhongli because it kinda reminds him of himejima. Calm and wise and strong too. He looks up on that kind of person
"Zhongli sama, im in debt for all of your hard work protecting my team," bows and wipes tears
Type of player :
Spends a little money on the game to get what he wants
Zhongli main
Is that one player that has hoards of food but doesnt even use it
"Why need healer when you have zhongli's shield,"
Compare to kyojuro, he doesnt even touch the teapot because he finds it ridiculous and bothersome to create and design everything in it
Loves one shotting bosses and compares it to giyuu. He ask for advices from obanai regarding team build supports and stuffs
Doesnt do character's story quest. The key is full every single time. He unlocks it but leaves the quest like that.
"Ah shit, i accidentally activate the quest,"
His friend list only has obanai in it. Whenever people sent him friend request, he wouldnt hesitate, more like wouldnt care to accept it
They either have to coop in obanai's world or his world and after that, unfriend immediately
Says thank you after coop because he has manners and then completely disappears
"Zhongli main forever,"
Tengen : played since 1.0 this madlad has been staying loyal to the game ever since. Quite huge amount of money he spend on this game to be honest but he never gets broke by it. You can see his regular donation to the game by purchasing welkin and battle pass and some genesis crystal too. He's loaded with money, he didnt know what to do with it.
Uzui also plays honkai impact and guns girl Z so when he saw the unknown god at the intro , he was not surprised.
"Oh we have to pick between the siblings? Cool cool co- oh hi kiana,"
"Thats so herrscher of void hahahahah,"
Although he is a loyal fan to MihoYo games, he lost his composure when he saw the 1st genshin anniversary reward because what was that. Imagine getting billions of money and they give us this? Tengen cant believe this shit
"Oh god wtf was that reward, i have to draw to get a welkin and some primos?? aND I ALSO HAVE TO BE LUCKY? WHAT-"
"WHERE'S MY FREE MONA,"
In need of mona. He needs mona so bad he literally spent his money on standard banner to get mona but always ends up with qiqi. Not that he's complaining but he just wants the astrologist to complete the support team
"GOD QIQI YOU AGAIN? WTF WFF WTF-" converts genesis crystal to primigems
"Tengen, you should control yourself!"
"SHUT UP KYOJURO, IM GONNA WASTE MY MONEY TILL I GET HER,"
"yeah but my f2p ass is hurting with how many bennett cons you got," droops
Tengen sees potential in every character. Everyone has their weakness and strength so when kokomi comes out, he diss her at first but then realize maybe its a new way for a character. Adds the uniqueness if he may say so.
"Meh i dont care honestly. You guys should pull whoever you find nice or beautiful. Like me ;)"
"Who do you main uzui?"
"Beidou,"
Type of player
Spoils the storylines, lores, leaks A LOT THE REST HAVE TO BLOCK HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Speed runs the game and has become an endgame player ever since but he still does his daily commission and helps people with domains and stuffs
R5 every battle pass weapon
Fights azhdaha for fun and to test out his characters rather than ruin guards and stuff
Mona wanter
Puts traveller as the pfp and doesnt display any showcase of his characters and namecards. You can only see his achievements and spiral abyss ( 12-3 ). Says its for fun and mystery
Throws a lot of pickup lines and roleplays a lot. Spams your chatbox messages with stickers and censored stuffs
Probably steals your ores and exotic things like violetgrass, qingxin and silk flowers
Screams in the chatbox whenever he saw Mona until Kyojuro had to calm him down
Changes signature every single time and sometimes put spoilers in it
In every survey he would complain "MihoYo where the fuck is my Mona,"
Doesnt heals his characters

— FELT THAT. i don’t get how, in the ascension quest, lvl 80 keqing, ningguang, diluc and lvl 60 fischl survived fine, and keqing was doing really good dmg against lvl 90 opponents, but she..she becomes baby?? against my lvl 86 world enemies???? make it make sense
— i’m willing to pick it up. i’m picking it up. i’m a crow i like shiny things on the ground i Am Picking It Up. platonically bc i’m 90% sure i’m younger than you SHSDHXH
— oceanid?? oceanid my friend and my foe i’m just gonna get my friend at ar53 to carry me since she was begging for me to get to ar50 already. my enemies are her problem now that’s how it works.
— hi r anon!! ty ty, i tried her out for a while yesterday and she’s..she’s pretty good. xingqiu might have to get benched ngl. but then i’d be short a healer and that’s a pain. my team after 1.4 is most likely gonna be mona, keqing, xiao and venti (HOPEFULLY),,,so yeah i need to pick a healer to build lmao
— you’re trying to lose weight and that’s good!! but also know you’re amazing no matter what!! you’re doing good and i’m proud of you, genuinely
— also hi good morning my first class of the day is Math 🤡
— ven. ♡
Tumblr media
spent everything on zhongli’s shield so everything bounces off of him. its both big brain and cowardly but it also makes sense since my playstyle is literally just button smash + ooh shiny glowing button
ive been chilling in ar 50 for almost a month now? i think at least. want to ascend but there is literally no benefit so im waiting for 1.4 to arrive just to claim that itty bitty primos before dipping back to wl6.
poor xingqiu though. imagine the investment only to be dropped bc a pretty girl came along 😒 tsk tsk. this slander i cant— /j
first exam of the week and i failed 🤡 ngl i had no expectations bc i literally had no idea what our lessons meant. eh no point crying over my declining grades but still hoping it wont drag me off the honor roll.
ao haru ride is in my to watch list since two years ago and i havent touched a single episode lmfao. the last anime i watched is probably overlord and that was a year ago when i binged some anime series (demon slayer, bsd and shield hero included). recently im obsessing w jjk as well (pls im the biggest gojo and megumi simp, i will literally crawl??)
oohhhh have you watched hq? if yes, what’s your fav school? personally i believe in fukurodani and nekoma superiority 🤩
congrats btw. we are now platonically engaged. you must now bear the tremendous weight of me and my blog’s chaoticness. hope you have a great day ahead of you❤️
ps. math sucks i will literally strangle whoever thought of numbers

genshin anon! oops turns out i totally forgot to respond lol. yeah the sacrificial is nice. ive got the bow, claymore, and catalyst. almost have 2 r5 catalyts as well.... oo that's nice! yeah xiao has kind of turned into my not used character as well which is kind of sad. i love him so much. but hu tao doing 30k+ crit up to 50k is uh... going well for me one might say. and yeah i also think the rate theyre doing things is okay. people constantly are at the game for not having end game content
lmaoo don’t worry about responding!! feel free to absolutely ghost me i’ll totally understand hehe <3
(2/5) but like.. the game isnt a year old yet. like half the game isnt even out yet. i get theres not a whole lot to do ar 45+ but :/ its a gacha game so its not really supposed to be a play for 8 hours a day thing. although i am torn on that. it is a gacha game but plays and acts like a 'proper' game so i get where everyone is coming from in that aspect. i am so in love with venti. mostly wanted him to collect everyone and for spiral abyss but damn i use him CONSTANTLY and i dont think i could
(3/5) ever not use him now. sucrose is great though! def try to get here she is such a great support! zhongli is so useful though haha. he kind of just fits in wherever. i cant wait for childe i so hope i get him. im saving up all these windblume primos for him haha. and hoping to get rosaria in the process (my pole arm team will almost be complete). yeah the windblume has been great! the STORY THOUGH. it made me so happy? haha. loved seeing all the characters again. and it was just a sweet
(4/5) story :'( the games are pretty cool too! im not a big fan off the freefall one though. the other two are great. and peculiar wonderland! that one is a lot of fun in coop! i kind of really want them to keep the dandelions floating around in mondstadt? they look so nice. oh nice! yeah polearms are fun haha. i used to use a lot of claymores but idk, im just not overly fond of how slow they are? plus none of them really -vibe- with me. xinyan is my fave out of them though. i just walk around
(5/5) with my faves and hope for the best :') chongyun and xingqiu bestest friends <3 that sounds funny ill have to be xingqui when i do chongyuns story quest lol. still havent done any of those but yeah its nice that they do let you skip what youve already done lol. yeah rosaria did show up in the windblume festival which i figured she would. got to remind everyone about her before she is released. did make me like her a bit more honestly. cant wait to (hopefully) get her! she seems like fun!
R5 DAMN.... i think my highest is like R2 lmao again weapons are like the last thing i invest in ajdfklaj i have like. two good swords and 2 good claymores and that’s it. my poor catalysts and bows.......
30-50k crit omg..... i only JUST got the achievement for like i think 20k+ damage with xiao the other day and it was during peculiar wonderland with the plunging/crit buffs LMAOOOO i am not a numbers type of gal </3 
yeah i’ve honestly seen a lot of gacha games that like fucked around before discontinuing and not making a dent in the story... not saying that i want that to happen to genshin of course (knock on wood) but just the rate they’re doing things is definitely fine lmao. and yeah sometimes i don’t even bother playing every day if i just don’t feel like it adfjklajd sure i’m losing primogems but also like. i’m tired bro lmao idk how people can spend hours every single day without just spending a copious amount of money on it. 
but it does definitely feel like more than a gacha game for sure. botw was popular for a reason and i must say genshin ripped it off well LMAO. ughhhh despite what i said i keep pulling for venti and I’VE GOTTEN NOELLE IN EVERY SINGLE 10 WISH THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS FJADKLFJSA i did get keqing for my pity though who i did also really want though so!!!! i guess i can be happy with that lmao although i wish at least 1 of my noelles was a sucrose or something...
and yes! even if it was just brief cameos i’m glad they brought a lot of characters in; really helps build the world especially seeing the friendships between certain characters! i know we got a spoiler in the trailer but i was so excited to just see like. diluc/kayea/rosaria together hahaha. and razor and bennet are so cute!! i think people already knew they were friends from their voicelines? but actually seeing them hang out together/interact really solidifies it. 
oh nice i’m not the only one who isn’t a fan of the freefalling one LMAO the others were a lot of fun tho <3 and yeah the dandelions are definitely really pretty!!!
ahh yeah i think with claymore users i tend to really focus more on their elemental skills/burst than them actually fighting lmao. like with chongyun at least he has a pretty fast cooldown compared to how long his skill lasts and just switch out with another character meanwhile. polearms are fun as well and xiao has been GREAT but i think i was also off put by how little damage my xiangling was doing when i first tried out polearms lmaooo
chongyun and xingqiu are really the best i love them so much... people keep comparing them to buzzfeed unsolved which i honestly haven’t really seen much of but it makes SO much sense especially since their whole thing is like. chongyun looking for evil spirits and xingqiu giving him shitty leads jasdkflsa. 
also idk if you’ve seen this but apparently the tassels they wear on their visions are friendship tassels they gifted each other and JDAFKLAJSKLFDSJ THAT’S SO CUTE GODDD
and yeah!!! again with the diluc/kayea/rosaria group i really want a storyline surrounding those 3 specifically lmao they seem so fun. i actually didn’t realize the similarities between kaeya and rosaria are until they were put together but aside from kaeya being more. idk flirty/extroverted lmao they actually have sort of similar like. idk. vibes? roles? jobs? way about doing things? and cryo users ofc

Genshin Emojis
//For the longest time it was Xiangling, Fischl, Barbara, and Diluc because I was really lucky and got Diluc alongside Noelle on the beginner banner, and the other three were really easy to get when the game first came out! But over time I built up a few different teams. Now I have a team with Albedo/Zhongli/Diona and a team with Ganyu/Venti/Bennett, though I still use my original team a lot
//There's a lot of characters I rolled and love, but havent built up yet like Xinyan, Sucrose, and Mona... my goal is to eventually build up every character! But if Mihoyo keeps adding new ones so fast I might not ever achieve it :(

So I’m,,, not good at genshin—do you have any good tips? Like I’m stuck on the first adventure rank ascension and I don’t really know how to build a good team and use characters correctly. Co-op has been helpful against overworld bosses but even though my characters are high levels, I’m still weak overall. Do you have any advice lol? No worries if not :)
sorry for the loooong post but i cant remember how to do a read more on mobile 💀
anyway hiya!!! tbh im not exactly... GOOD good at the game either, im just winging it for the most part lmao... but anyway um! most people have an idea in mind with teams, like the elemental boosts (having two fire users in the same party increases your ATK, stuff like that), but some people like to have different elements to deal out different status effects to enemies. im one of those people! my main team is zhongli, diluc, kaeya, and tartaglia. i use them for the frozen/melt/vaporize statuses, and zhongli for shields. i use keqing too sometimes, for superconduct or overload etc. so i personally prefer having a varied team!! and even if youre not using 5* units, you can still play the game well if you just think about how YOU wanna approach battles, i guess? i think thats all it comes down to too. its about how you feel comfy playing. oh, and pay attention to the weapons that youre giving your units!!! thats key too, like reading the descriptions and seeing if that weapon is good for your playstyle/unit. and if its not, are you willing to adjust how you play to make the best of it? or find another way around it? like lets say uhhh. amber! shes a freebie, and a ranged unit. do you prefer to use ranged units to start off a battle, giving yourself an advantage with the enemy's hp lowered? then think about a good bow to give her that would work well with her skills/stats! and using her bunny as the decoy, then switching out to someone else to deal faster attacks while the enemies are distracted, then following up with someone thatll deal extra elemental damage (cryo/hydro/electro) once it explodes. if you prefer to just charge in, maybe give yourself some artifacts that give you +DEF or elemental mastery? (i think thats a good thing too?) also using food to boost ATK/DEF/CRIT temporarily is very good too.
and even tho its a gacha game, you can still do well without 5* units and weapons! crafting weapons is good, just think about what would be best for what character! theres a lot of 4* crafted weapons that arent half bad. and artifacts are important too, but i wing that. i just put together whatever sounds useful for a character, and maybe do a 2 or 4 set bonus thing too. it all depends on how you wanna go about the game! its a lot of cross checking between items and reading descriptions, but thats kinda how the game works so you cant really avoid that :( just think about what sounds like itd be the most useful for your character. but the game does give you a lot of the wishing currency for free, so DEFINITELY use that whenever and wherever you can! some of the weapons you get there are actually pretty useful, even the 4*s! and oh i dont remember when you can start levelling up talents, but look into that for your characters too! it helps them to deal more damage for certain moves.
oh but the main tip i can give you is dont ascend your adventure rank too early if you're locked behind it 🙃 when i started out, i was doing the daily commissions and forgot about the story, so my world level just kinda. uh. increased before i was ready for it to, and then i suffered for a Long Time to get things balanced again. so if your characters are levelled high, id say farm some of the bosses for materials so you wont have a hard time dealing with it later? thats why i havent ascended in a long time here, bad memories lol;;;
but anyway some people talk about "oh so and so isnt a good character, youd probably be better off with this one instead" but imo, it just depends on a few things
1. liking the character enough and wanting them to be good
2. putting in the effort to try and make them good/fit your playstyle
thats... really it, to me at least? like some people have told me "hm yeah kaeyas cool but not very useful sadly" and i was like "hm. ok. well, hes my favorite so im just going to use him anyway and have him support my team out of determination" LOL. i just put characters i like on the same team and make it work. or characters that i think will work well together for the elemental effects, yanno? hm. recently, i got mona, whos a water mage right? i used barbara a lot previously, who is Also a water mage. however, barbara has healing moves so shes good to have on your team if you know that you tend to take a lot of damage, or if you just feel unsure or something? again, it depends on your own playstyle!
i hope this made sense and if u have other qs.... feel free to ask. . . . also other genshin followers feel free to leave other tips here too because i feel like this probs wasnt enough 💀

I would love to try like a slowburn ship with your Diluc but :pleading_face: idk if you'd be interested considering the way you talk about ships with him. I just really love the enthusiasm you put into your bby, all the love & care. My muse would love to be an actual friend, & I think it'd be cute if it progressed with time! But that would remain to be seen—not to force anything! Although, that'd mean we have to actually RP together hehe. Like, relationships take time, & I love to explore that!
oh my gosh,,, 🥺 thats really sweet thank you for your interest !! i take that as a huge compliment because i really do put so much thought into this character. he lives in my head rent free and im glad it shows !!
im assuming you mean i seem a bit guarded when it comes to shipping ? and i guess you’re right in that regard, im not a big fan of (romantic) shipping just for the sake of shipping, i want there to be actual chemistry and growth when considering a ship, especially for someone like diluc who seems to crave companionship but has such a hard time opening up and letting people in (and understandably so, after what he’s been through). i’d much sooner develop something deep and meaningful and platonic than wing something romantic just so he has someone to smooch, u know ?
that being said, im definitely not closed to the idea of shipping ! i guess i just get kinda put off when it’s too obviously intended from the start, because i like things to happen more organically and it’s hard to let them when i know what my partner expects to get out of our interactions. does that make sense ? god i hope it makes sense dfjhgfdj
with that in mind, it’s probably worth using this opportunity to say that what i have going with @/hydrokissed will definitely be the main ship on this blog. i know we havent actually showcased much on here so it might seem unfair, but we have literally been talking about these two day and night for well over two months now, and i think it’s safe to assume i will not get as invested in any other ship as i am in this one. im still open to other potential ships, i just want all potential partners to be aware of my inherent commitment to chiluc before getting into anything with me. i wouldnt want anyone to get a brainrot for a ship with diluc and end up getting hurt/disappointed when they find out my heart is still ultimately more taken with something else.
and with that out of the way, i want to apologize for how slow i am with asks and replies and drafts in general and once again encourage you to just add me on discord and talk to me about our muses if you want to develop anything with me because 90% of the character building i do for diluc is just me talking @ people about him instead of doing any actual writing dfjshfdshgf
