Plot ideas that I'll never write
Let's start this series with my most recent brain rot. Genshin Impact.
Geo Daddy is up first <3
Zhongli x Reader
So let's start with the usual trope of reincarnating in another world. But this time, you were reborn in the ancient time (like the real beginning, like a few hundred years after Morax/Zhongli was born. Born in a village of Adepti's worshippers. They dance, sing and make offerings to them. (Insert shit tons of lore)
And perhaps you had a bit of an affinity with elemental energy, like any being not from this world seems to have. So this one dude in your village who is an ancient alchemist sensed that and he basically took you as his pupil. So, you learned ancient alchemy (it's different from the current one but I don't know enough about the current one to say exactly).
If you chose to make Morax interested in you, then maybe he would be slightly saddened and went back to his default state of not really being interested in humans.
One day, once you're older, someone (or you) displeases an Adeptus. Which earns his ire and the intervention of Morax. The situation seems to calm down after that. Perhaps, you've done or said something that could have interested Morax. Or perhaps not, you simply met him for the first time and were struck with awe and fear.
Not long after, the Adeptus, still very sore and egged on by someone or something else, just annihilated your village. Among the flames, the helpless screams, and the terror, you die swearing on your soul that you will get revenge.
Perhaps, Morax sealed the Adeptus and you have to unseal him. Perhaps, you need to track him and his comrades down. Perhaps, he becomes one of Morax's greatest foes.
The thing is, you do come back to get your revenge. And not just once or twice. You always reincarnate. The story would follow each of your reincarnations as you believe that because you swore on your soul, you won't be able to rest in peace until that Adeptus dies.
And with most of your reincarnation, you would meet zhongli again and again (under several forms, man or woman and maybe others), you would learn about each other and perhaps love would bloom.
A good plot twist would be that if you reincarnate, it's not because of that promise, but because you are a foreign soul that this world cannot process.
At some point, he would learn that you reincarnate with all your memories, that even if you die, you will come back but he would still rage and kill whoever killed you.
The end (for now).
The possibilities, the angst, the lore, the several character developments that both Morax and you would go through. The possible betrayals and the possible smut (that I did not elaborate on so it could be sfw).
It's what makes me spin out of control.

Hey so just a thought. If Zenith was even the slightest bit aware of the fact the player character had amnesia. Maybe I can bet he’d totally take the opportunity to actually chase the chance he could have the player character on his side so he maybe wouldn’t have to use his abilities. Maybe. He’d take their DNA as insurance anyways.
Oh yeah i could totally see him keeping his facade of being the nice guy and trying to manipulate the player.
Mfer is a professional gaslighter after all.
Im not fully confident that he knew the player was Adam's kid. Maybe??? He doesnt mention it but i guess he would know some things about the first augur for obvious reasons jidkwkdkqd (not that it'd matter since the player still has a pixie and thats probably much more important to him bcs of the "prophecy" blah blah blah)
If he teamed up with Persephone and Jaern (impossible) he would have definitely been an even bigger threat tho my god.

the thing about having been really broke. averaging $500 a month in a good year broke. using a gamestop credit card i shouldn't have qualified for to buy taco bell gift cards for food broke. is that i am SO bad with money. i have a degree in accounting and i am so bad with money. i do not think of myself as superstitious at all but money feels so cursed. not in a spiritual way, i mean literally. practically.
having 'too much' money feels so bad. money is a thing you spend as soon as you get it because it's so cursed. the more it is the more cursed it is. i save too much money and bad things will happen that cost all my money. money is a thing that summons expenses. if i have no money and the car breaks down i find a way to make it work. i scrounge and resell and pass the hat and talk to my mom's friend's friend who knows a guy and in the end i'm so relieved to be right back where i started. but if i were saving my money for a new computer and then the car broke down, the money is just gone. i spent the money i saved for a thing i wanted on a thing i needed instead and after all that hoping i'm right back where i started.
i get a windfall and i set the money aside because if i'm careful that's enough to pay for gas for months. but then i need to pay for heat and i apply for assistance and they look at my bank account and see i have money and now they won't help pay for heat. soon it's just a habit. i get the money and i spend the money. immediately, as soon as possible, get this money away from me. don't even save enough for cigarettes. i can find money for cigarettes, somehow i can always find money for cigarettes. cigarette money is a weird magical fake money i summon from dark corners whenever i run out of cigarettes. i don't know how it works either. i've tried to summon the cigarette money for things that aren't cigarettes and it never works. just get this out of my bank account. get it out of here before something notices there's money here.
anyway i'm working on it but god it's hard

I HAVE REALIZED SOMETHING.
So. For people who are not Ethoslab watchers, in his most recent episode he showed off these beautiful statues Joel supposedly made of Etho in front of his house.
I figured Joel built them, and it seems Etho did too, because he sent Joel a message via mail about them.
This note... honestly surprised me a bit? I didn't think much of it at first, but the tone of it felt out of place. Obviously these two have this ongoing bit of being obsessed with each other, and they've done nothing recently but yes-and to the sun about it. This note seems to almost shut this bit down, saying "this bit hasn't gone too far yet, because I'm showing this on camera, but it's getting there." Which is a possible explanation for this note! But considering all they've done recently it feels very sudden.
And then. Joel claimed to not have built the statues. "Oh," I thought. "Joel is claiming not to have built the statues because he doesn't want to seem obsessed." Makes sense. Or maybe he *didn't* build the statues and someone is pranking them. That also makes sense.
But it was only when watching Joel talk about it on Impulse's stream, when I heard Joel say "honestly, I think Etho might have done it," that it clicked.
Oh.
This motherfucker.
He 100% did. That's why the message is so weird. Ethoslab built statues of himself outside Joel's base, messaged him via mail saying "that's kinda weird bro" and then DIDN'T EVER REVEAL THAT HE BUILT THEM. Oh my god THIS MAN...
From Etho's audience's perspective it just looks like Joel was continuing being obsessed with Etho, as usual, just another example in a long list. But *Joel* knows he didn't do that and *Etho* knows Joel will figure out who did. This mischievous motherfucker. Oh my godddd I hate them. Listening to him read back the note with that little smile in his voice. I am unwell. Why are they LIKE this

guys, i think the hermits are going to accidentally start a prank war again. because just like last time, a game of telephone has begun.
first, false made iskall's build into ''false beans,'' her shop from the previous season. however, to give herself plausible deniability, she signs it with "love, Joel. x" due to his username, smallishbeans.
next, iskall sees this, and completely believes it. he thinks it was joel who pranked him, and as he says to pearl while showing off the sign, which he kept even after tearing the prank down, "joel gave me a kiss." in his most recent video, he pranks joel by sending him loads of anonymous messages in order to completely spam and fill his inbox, preventing him from getting any more mail, with notes such as "thinking about you. x"
of course, joel is going to have absolutely no context for this, because he didn't make the initial prank. so who is joel going to assume sent him all those messages while he was away on holiday? well, i have a guess.
etho.
