Interrupted Prayers

(Synopsis: Even her most sincere prayers would do nothing to soothe the repetitive strumming of the ancient artifact - located in the middle of the island - to a halt.)

(ft. Kujou Sara, Raiden Ei, Sayu/Me)

It was an average day for Kujou Sara; both the shrines, the gateway to the island, and the front porch of the lookalike building of Tenshukaku were as clean as ever, thanks to her.

Her Eternal Excellency must've finished long before her, she'd think. After all, all she had to do was clean a stage and dust a few chairs and tables.

Her peaceful and quiet session of prayers of thankfulness towards her Grace ended up interrupted as a sudden gust of a wind passed by.

Suspicious of the sudden presence of wind and possible intruder, she turned her head to the sound, only to see a trail of leaves leading to the next island.

She grimaces at the mess, but figured she'd clean it up later.

That is, if the ancient lyre in the middle of the island would stop strumming.

... Wait...

... The ancient lyre was strumming?

The sudden turn of her head could even rival the strike of a thunder bolt.

A child, one that was around to her upper extremity, just below her upper abdomen, was recklessly playing with the artifact as if it was just a normal instrument.

Didn't it know that carelessly touching, much less tampering, would be disrespectful and that it could face severe punishment without the explicit permission of her Grace?

She shook her head no. Her Grace would specifically tell any of their acolytes that decided to enter their personal domain to never be aggressive nor directly interact with them and stay in place unless the visitor themselves comes up to them.

And from there, they had the option to say anything, minus threatening and asking for information regarding them and the visitor themselves.

But despite the limitations her Grace placed on them, she still couldn't focus on her prayers because that child couldn't stop playing with the damn instrume-

"Hm? Wait- Is that Sara? It's Sara! Sara!! Kujou Sara!!"

She heard the footsteps of the child nearing, as well as its voice.

"Yooo, it's Kujou Sara!!"

She heard it coo over her, calling her name over and over. She could only hope that the child would grow tired quickly and leave her alone.

"Hey, Saraaa, look at me! Look at meee!"

Her eyebrows furrow. Great, now it wants her attention. She was never really great with kids, if ever. So, getting stuck between her Grace's orders, her inability to interact with children and the kid asking for attention was utterly out of her expertise. As much as she hated to say that.

"Lookie meeee! Look at meeeeeee!!"

With a quiet, defeated sigh, she turned her head to the child. Wait... Wasn't this that tanuki that hid behind her wings before? Sayu, was it?

Well, technically, the child was already under her Grace's wing(haha get it) but this was... Certainly a sight to see, especially after their first meeting.

Nevertheless, seeing the chi- ahem. Sayu happy brought a small smile on her own face.

Sayu was giggling that she finally noticed her, jumping up and down in excitement.

Ofcourse, and unfortunately, the moment was short-lived and Sayu quickly said her goodbyes to her, rolling away in a ball of wind and slightly ruining the path along her way.

She sighed in slight annoyance, but as long as the child was happy, she guessed that she would be happy as well for the time being.

Bonus:

Not a few moments later, the child came rolling back carrying a coral crystalfly and a shiny looking slice of pineapple in her arms, saying a quick goodbye and rolling away once more, presumably to the island connected to the one she was on.

Another sigh escapes her lips, a small smile brushing her face as she watched the child roll through the messy, building-filled space.

She was glad she wasn't in charge of maintaining cleanliness on that island.

C/N: thx to a friend of mine for letting me in their teapot, couldn't have made this fic without it 🫶🫶

btw, the "ancient lyre artifact" is the "Resonant Melody" furniture lyre you'd get during the 1st year celebration of genshin (should've been me smh)

and Sara's "unique" impression on Sayu is based on this comic on reddit - it speaks for itself :))

I've been thinking abt this for a while but,

What do characters look like when doing their elemental sight thingy?

Do they just stay normal,

have a change in eye colour,

or do their faces change entirely?

It's an interesting thought, honestly

Cuz if you put the creepypasta aside for a sec, you'd assume that Ayato, Itto and Ei must've just been using elemental sight and totally not being creepy at all

Maybe everyone has a unique elemental sight

Maybe they all use the same type of sight

Who knows

I don't, that's for sure

Was this stupid and was probably just me showing off my drawing skills? Maybe

Who knows

Not either of us, ofcourse

Yes, use this if you want

Yes, i drew all of those myself

And if you see any mistakes in them, no you don't ♡♡

Unfamiliar Familiar

ft. Kamisato Ayaka & Kamisato Ayato

The sounds of lyre strings getting strum, the soft crashing of waves against rock and sand were the only sounds that both siblings could hear.

Or... Were they both actually siblings?

In a technical sense, they would be - were it not for the fact that one belonged to another world.

They both had the same blood, same last name, similar first names, similar looks and the same parents.

Ayaka would be in absolute heaven if she was able to play instruments with her brother again - bonus points if it was an instrument from a foreign land.

Even when she was a child, she wouldn't play instruments all that often. More often than not, she would be spending most of her time with her brother sparring - or using other, somewhat more safer, bonding methods.

But ofcourse, there'd be a time where she'd occasionally play something. She could faintly remember the days when she played a flute, along a few others, with her brother playing something that could make her tunes more rhythmic.

She'd brush off this one as well, if it wasn't for the fact that this wasn't her brother.

This wasn't the one she knew.

They weren't related in any way possible.

They shouldn't even be remotely related to each other.

Yet this... other Ayato shared every single detail that hers had.

He had the same dexterity, the same looks, the same voice, the same personality and the same memories. Wasn't that enough for her?

Ofcourse not.

This wasn't her brother; he was the brother of another her, not her herself.

The uncanny feeling she had every time she looked at him was unsettling, one she'd furrow her eyebrows at as silent chills went down her spine.

She'd be lying if she didn't feel that this other Ayato hadn't felt the same discomfort as her.

He looked at her with an unreadable expression, as she did with him; one that looked like he both was savoring the moment, or silently disturbed and confused - just like she did.

The scenery was quite... Unsuitable for a harmonic symphony that the two of them were doing.

Jinren Island was mostly known for harbouring alot of Nobushi and a few Kairagi on it, almost using it as their outpost. And while both the sunrises and sunsets were beautiful as is, the two would rather play in the safety of the Kamisato Estate than here.

While, yes, they had already taken out most of them not too long ago - save for the ones at the top of the weirdly-shaped mountain/cliff - , they'd rather play in their home rather than an isolated island around 800 meters from their house.

It was a nice collaborative act that both Their Graces decided to unite them to do something that, while they didn't do often, they'd enjoy all the same. But...

Perhaps, there was... Another, more conventional, way to do so?

C/N: got this idea when trying to farm for PMA boss drops for my Ayaka; my friend stopped me and told me to stay still, only put Ayato at their front party slot and started playing a random tune using a lyre - the tune probably being a song or something else

i just played another random tune for bg music and ended up playing undertale/deltarune music lmao

might actually make this one into a series - not of just Ayaka and Ayato btw

Imagine this,

you're with a friend or two(if you don't have any, i can be ur friend :))), maybe talking to eachother, playing genshin together, maybe even cosplaying for a tiktok, right?

when all of the sudden, you're on top of some sort of machine/on-ground type of teleporter - think like the ones at sumeru's desert like those ones where u put an upsidedown triangle in it - , bless your soul/s if you were laying down or sitting cuz that chair/thing u were laying on ain't going with u, but if you weren't, you'd still probably fall down butt first on the platform

Imagine being in the cosplay with said friend and were doing one of those trends involving ships and whatnot (bonus points if what u guys chose were and underrated/underappreciated ship of sorts), and while doing said trend involving dancing or smth, you get teleported to said platform, which in turn making u and ur friend open ur eyes (if they weren't already) and seeing the genshin characters basically surrounding said platform with utter confusion in their eyes

like, first of all, what????? they anticipated their creator(s)/overseer(s) not a copy of the two attendees, with said copies dancing with eachother, second of all, who were these people??? they had some similarities to the copied people, yes, but they didn't feel the same. think about it like a lake having a similar lake somewhere near it, it's the same lake but it doesn't feel/seem the same, why? maybe a change in view, a change in the water temperature, or maybe a change in grass length or even rock placement. now imagine those lakes as people, that's what we've got going on over here

both sides are in confusion, Albedo's just standing there (🧍mf lookin ahh) thinking if this is another whopperflower disguise thingy, but then that wouldn't explain why they were the ones to pop up instead of their creator(s)/overseer(s) on the platform, maybe Dottore is just over at the control panel wondering if he accidentally teleported another universe here instead of where you (and maybe even your friend) resided, maybe a skill machine issue, who knows? (no one does)

all of this is happening and u and ur friend are just standing there like:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 /🧍🧍

with your cosplays still on

===========

c/n(cake's notes): i nearly fell asleep FOUR TIMES while writing this, and yes, i regret nothing.

tl;dr: u and ur friend are cosplaying for a tiktok when u two are suddenly isekai'd in genshin, with everyone standing/attending there confused; ft. me being bored and not sleeping and making this on a whim cuz my fingers totally and accidentally slipped (whoops sorry about that ehe)

anyways have these lovely selfies while i speedrun my commissions (totally didn't forget to do them haha)

#gold coated cocoa powder ♪#sagau #self aware genshin #genshin impact sagau #sagau cult au #genshin cult au #genshin shenanigans #gotta go fast #dudududu #not gonna sleep after this hehe #the 60 primogems are calling for me #and they're desperate alright/j #it is 2 in the morning #eyebags are getting worse by the day lmao

Madinat Khalida, The Timeless City

Pairing(s): None (Slight Rukkhadevata x GoS ig)

Genre: Angst, Fanmade Lore

Timeline/AU: In the middle of the Archon War

Content Warning(s): Implied Major Character Death, A Nation Getting Buried (Literally), Shit Storytelling, Fanmade Lore (i.e completely made up), 2AM-5AM Writing (fell asleep mid-write), GoS Isn't Reader, GoS dies in Rukkrukk's Arms(not in a romantic way lmao), GoS' Gender Is Not Specified And Will Use They/Them Pronouns, Morax Back At It Again Smh, It's Raining Spears, Hallelujah It's Raining Spears, - GoS' People—Probably, The Burying Technically Ain't His Fault Though (surprisingly).

C/N: Faruzan bonked my head so much i threw this up; lore enthusiasts don't kill me for this pls

Madinat Khalida, also known as The Timeless City; collapsed due to a brawl between the God of Silence and the God of Contracts—or as some would call him, the God of War.

The two gods fought long and hard, tooth and nail, till many moons and suns rose and fell. The forest had seen it, the shadows had witnessed it, and the beaming light that held high merely gazed on.

The God of Silence was by no means a weak god, having to fend off more than a few creatures that their early nation could've fallen for a thousand times over.

But alas, the so-called God of War had his eyes sent on them and their nation. His intentions may have been good—only intending to "spar" with them, but their fight had erupted many casualties on the desert's plains, both in its wake and its aftermath.

The spears that rained down the city were buried beneath the sands, but what went along with it was Madinat Khalida.

The God of Silence grieved at the death of their people when their nation was caught in-between the depths of the sand and the bedrock below, knowing that they could've just led the opposing god out of the perimeter of their city - but what they did was already done.

Their city had sunk.

With the God of Contracts having "oh so coincidentally" already left the crime scene, their nation buried underneath miles upon miles of sand; they joined their nation in hopes of rescuing or unearthing any evidence of life—trying to reassure themselves that maybe, just maybe, there was even a patch of grass alive.

As they lost hope in finding even just a piece of cloth, they saw a soft, green glow emanating from the other side of their city - one that they hadn't notice before.

Due to their desperation, they sprinted to the light, slowly getting engulfed by it and promptly passing out from their exhaustion.

After they had awoken, they saw a big, magnificent tree—the one who the people of Sumeru now call "Irminsul"—, once they remembered their original objective, they ran from root to root and bark to bark until they reached the base of the tree.

Naturally, since they were dubbed as the God of Silence, they couldn't speak, so they had to resort into using some of their remaining magic left, and spoke,

"Oh blessed tree, you who have witnessed nations rise and fall, you who remember every living being that had first opened it's eyes and those who fell prey to eternal sleep. Please, oh please, where have my children gone? To where did the last of my dears go?"

The tree didn't reply, only keeping it's radiant glow bright. The God of Silence shed their final tear, using the last of their power to ask one more question, "To where did my city—that had seemingly bloomed from nothing—go, oh heavenly tree?"

They knew it was all for nothing, but they smiled once more, kneeling as they embraced the tree. At last, the god breathed their last breath, a soft sigh escaping their lips.

At last, a god clad in green and white, the god that was dubbed as the God of Wisdom by her people, approached the rapidly disintegrating god, rushing to their side—her face filled with remorse, regret and shock.

As the last of their physical form flew with the wind, the God of Wisdom could only wordlessly pick up their belongings - clothes, accessories, and the like.

To commemorate the late god, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata put on three leaf clips that she had given to them before as a welcome gift.

Unbeknownst to her, the god's soul remained, with it now possessing the three clips; binding the two gods in an eternal harmony of wisdom and music.

TGITME/N: I have so many more sfuff i wanna add but then I'll just end up chewing myself up from the inside out

Also, yes, i will update the sun and moon god blorples, both them and y'all deserve to know what they're like

Unless before i get swallowed in the depths of SAGAU again, this'll be my offering to all of y'all and wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy advanced new year :DDD

Hihi!

the name's CakesInOil, aka theguyinthemathproblems, and i'm that one person in your fyp that takes nothing seriously and also the one that you'd realized has the mental capacity of a squirrel and a very very messed up, and an essentially non-existent sleep schedule the longer you get to know me :))

though, in all seriousness, i'm an ongoing genshin writer and yes, lowercase is intended whenever i write, excluding brainrots, drabbles, and possible future fanfics :DD

if you want to request anything, then go ahead :D

(more utc :]])

just note, tho, that the things I won't be doing are:

nsfw (which, yes, does include suggestive themes)

heavy themes of violence (angst ain't just my cup of coffee tbh, but i will try and experiment with it in the coming future),

anything,, yk, disgusting, which i won't be listing as i'm sure you know what i mean by what i said,

and overall ships that just spell "..why on god did he even allow people like you to exist here on earth??" and "i wonder how god hasn't smite you yet" for your entire mindset and existence.

and if you have any questions regarding my "do not request" limits, just dm me or send an ask. don't worry, i won't bite :))

if you don't want to send a request or an ask and just want to send something random, then go ahead, i won't mind :DD

A few things about me!

i may curse here and there but i'll try my best to tone it down a lot ^^""

i like to do little faces like :D, :), >:(, and etc. so that people can somewhat guess the sentence's context/intentions a little better :>

i'll wake up in the middle of the night and write random stuff that i would have no memory of doing (and tumblr will now have to hear every single end of it :))

i considered drabbles as brainrots bc i didn't know what it was called before

i'm under your bed :) /j

i use any type of pronouns (excluding neopronouns) but mostly use they/them to address myself :D
