I just had a silly Genshin thought regarding the citizens of mondstadt.

What if they as a whole were weirdly competent at escaping. Like we know that windtrace was made with the intention of recreating rebels escaping from hunting tyrants but what if a bunch of their games were also meant for practicing escaping. Imagine if the adventurers guild practicing their puzzle solving, or archery was made with the intent of cracking locks , or spotting and dodging guards. What if their poetry practice is a way to practice weaving words to run circles around captors or find loopholes in contracts. Mond is the nation of poetry and freedom, and no cage physical or otherwise can hold them.

Picture this, someone managed to kidnap a mondstadter then they get annoyed with them and close their eyes for a few seconds, then they open them and they’re captive is just gone, manacles or binds just lying on the floor of an open cell. Nobody even heard them leave and you’re certain you would have heard the door open with that way it’s been squeaking for months. (You could say they doubled down their training after the dottore incident from the comics if you wanted to be really nitpicky and stay lore accurate)

Or another one, a Liyuen businessman or a Fontainian scam artist think they’re about to trap some poor bum from Mondstadt who doesn’t know any better just to have the tables turned cause the Mindstadter had some open ended flowery words that allowed a specific loophole giving them an out and trapping the offender at the same time.

Expanding on this thought to the other nations, I can’t decide if it’d be funnier if it was just mondstadt who had this develop due to their separation from the divine, or if each country had their own specialized developed skills.

So if anybody wants to take this concept and run, feel free, I’d love to hear other ideas regarding what the other nations would be good at.

Some short ideas for the other nations if anybody wants to try expanding on it: Obviously there’s liyue being a nation of contracts, commerce, and business, as well as natlan’s people having a significantly higher degree of combat proficiency to the average NPC. Fontainians I would imagine have more legal knowledge that they can use for good or bad, but breaking/skirting laws seems like it would give the average Fontainian hives. Sumeru is interesting because they have the literal split between untouched Traditions (eremites and the Sand), and propagandized traditions (scholars and the Green), as well as a second ideological split between knowledge (average Akademiyan scholar) vs wisdom (Nahida, the average citizen with common sense, and the coup troupe). Like the old saying “knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.” For both Inazuma and Snezhnaya I’m not sure what they could be good at since their ideals are eternity and love, as well as the fact Snezhnaya is not out at the time of making this post, but if you can come up with something feel free to add on.

I'm sorry but the image of 3 zoroark mimicking Ingo around the fire made me think of something like Akari running across the pack and thinking its a group of people that all look exactly the same until it is cleared up. The image of someone being bewildered by a huge group of Ingo's and just the shaggy train man in the center like nothing is wrong is too funny to me.

7 identical guys headed by another identical guy who's either another zoroark who's really good at imitating a human or some weird hermit guy who's been living with a pack of zoroarks, pays for some soup making supplies with raw gold and then walks back into the icelands . wyd

It's important to me that everyone understands that if you've got an autistic friend who periodically sends you pictures/videos/whatever of your Thing, because they know you're into it... They love you.

Now don't get me wrong, It may not necessarily be romantic love, they might not want to run off to a little farm in Montana where you'll be married forever and raise little sheeps...

But they definitely love you. And they're so happy when they spot a post about X and go "ooh, my friend likes X! I'll send it to them!".

Because they love you and want you to be happy.

if there was any justice to chess, becoming the world chess champion would let you make one small en-passant level rule change to the game for the duration of your reign. like Carlsen beats Anand and he is ceremonially cloaked with the King's Crown and the Scepter of Chess and he says "uhhh, thanks guys. as my first decree as Chess Champion, pawns on the A and H files can capture forwards as well as diagonally" and the crowd goes wild. and grimly, chess masters around the world throw out their plans for "Vishy's Chess, Openings and Theory, 3rd ed." and open a new word document titled "magnus_stupid_bullshit_chess_NOTES.docx" and start theorizing.

THIS BOOTHILL WANTER BECAME A BOOTHILL HAVER IN THE MOST BOOTHILL WAY POSSIBLE, MADE OFF LIKE A BANDIT, WE GOT BOOTHILL AT 32 PULLS.

Then I decided since it was so early I’d go for his light cone.

Bad news I lost the 50/50

Good news, I lost the 50/50 at 24 pity so I went again

Better news I got his lightcone at 20 pity.

Final results:

3 Five stars

- 1 Character at 32 pity: 40 pulls total

- 2 Weapons at 24 Pity and 20 Pity Respectively: 50 pulls total

Just to top it off, an absurd number of four stars

15 Four stars
