I just noticed the difference between hsr events and genshin events
WHY THERE'S NO MANY PRIMOS IN GENSHIN AND SO MUCH IN STAR RAIL???
(Not that I'm complaining about the amount of HSR gems
Cynonari modern au where tighnari is just about to go into his advanced forest bio exam and cyno keeps on making puns so tighnari keeps on accidentally writing 'cyno'plasm instead of cytoplasm
Hehe *Venti sounds*
Idk what is this 𓆏
Without background ↓
i just can't anymore- the amount of shit jiaoqiu got is just insane. like we just want one good thing to happen and then BAM BETA KIT IS GONE AND THE NEW KIT DEPRESSES EVERYONE. LIKE FOR GODS SAKE CAN WE GET SOME COMPETITIVE MALE CHARACTERS PLEASE WE ARE ON OUR HANDS AND KNEES ATP-
anyways a reminder that you can use the bug report function in-game to send feedback so we can get some better male character kits (or anything else your choice) :)
Albedo, in modern au.

s/n: plss im just so desperate.. 🥹🥹 i only see it on yt comms :'>
This! As a person, obsession with mythology and religion playing genshin is like a minimalized version of becoming an archaeologist, which was my dream when I was little.
Everything is amazingly complex and scattered like some of the most amazing stories in real life.
I love genshin, even though the representation could be better, the lore is fascinating and so immersing
ok, so no one talks about it, but i truly adore how genshin presents its in-game lore as real life mythology and history is! you discover tevyat's history, culture, mythology by actually going through scattered texts you find while exploring, or reading descriptions of items you find, or in namecards, and even in tcg card descriptions! and a lot of these sources aren't fully reliable, are hard to make sense of, and are given to you in absolutely no chronological order.
EXACTLY LIKE REAL LIFE MYTHOLOGY. most cultures' mythologies are passed down orally until one wise person decides to actually write it down! and those become our only sources of insight into those myths and ancient stories. norse mythology, for example, has only like two viable texts and those were written after roman christians took control over the area. like the sources are scattered and one tale has many interpretations and endings. you have to become an actual scholar to decipher all of it.
and the fact, the mere fact, that genshin has been able to mirror this in a game is absolutely insane to me.
like, oh, you wanna learn about nabu malikata, the goddess of flowers? here are your sources: an artifact set, a weapon description, a npc dialogue, a world quest, the description of a flower (padisarahs). and all of these are scattered throughout the world of tevyat.
you have to work, like a damn archeologist, to figure what the fuck is tevyat truly and understand its history.
like god, i have never played a more lore-rich game. from old mondstadt, to the hexenzirkel, to dragonspine and durin, to the yakshas and adepti, to baal and beelzebul, to watatsumi and enkanomiya, to the chasm's civilisation, to khaenriah, to elynas, to remuria and remus, to apep and nibelung, to deshret and nabu malikata, to the combined civilisation before the second descender.
it is SO fleshed out. and i haven't even mentioned like 40% of wtf is going on in tevyat.
anyway, this was my love letter to genshin lore!
okok ik I'm late and all and genshin 5.4 dropped. we git a whole trailer for Mizuki and whatnot, but uhh I haven't been active on genshin and all cuz of star rail and I kinda lost my actual genshin account due to my friends other accounts.
but like, I was honestly not expecting Mizuki's voice to sound like that. NO HATE, just surprised. I was actually expecting her voice to be sweet and gentle. but damnnnn. her voice is still good tho
The Lost Child at Stellis - Vyn Ritcher
Vyn’s first impression of the amusement park was something more than a place to take away the stress. It was a place where the imaginations of children come to fruition and adults can see the 'fun' in their lives.
He was walking behind the trio when suddenly, in his distance, he saw you. You were sitting on the bench, a face filled with despair and worry.
"Hmm, I wonder what's the matter with that kid? Hold on, why are they sitting alone?" Vyn thought.
As he approached you, he checked over if you were safe. Nodding your head, he sighed and kept his distance.
"My name is Vyn Ritcher or Mr. Richter to you." He gave out this trusting smile. You then introduced yourself, pushing your hair away.
"Were you waiting for someone? Kids like you usually know that they should stay with their parents or they would tell you to call their number," he remarked.
"I don't know where my dad is now. I just returned from the lost and found section after I gave the lady's wallet back. Plus, the signal's kinda bad in this area," you stated.
Impressed by your good nature, he said, "Well, that sounds something to me. I can tell you were taught well on good behavior and manners."
"Dad would be angry if I stole it. I know that from experience," you chuckled. "Hold on a moment. Are you coming alone?"
"No," Vyn said. "I'm actually with a group, but it looks like I went ahead to check over you. I’ll try to find a park worker while you stay here."
"What about your friends?" You had a worried look but he quickly assured you that he'll send a message on his current location and they should go ahead.
So, you stayed on that bench, Vyn trying to find the nearest authority in his vision. You decided to kill time by playing your favorite game on your phone.
A man was trying not to rush through the crowd. Holding his son by the hand, they both tried to find a missing child.
From a distance, Vyn was still looking for a trusted person to help the situation. That is until he accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry about that!" The man exclaimed and tried to help Vyn stand up but Vyn politely refused as he brushed away the dust from his hands.
"Are you looking for someone?" he questioned.
"Yes, sir!" the father cried. "It's my child (Y/N), you see. They went somewhere and I'm trying to find them!"
"Well, I'm sure they were last seen on the bench. They were sitting and waiting for you," he smiled.
"Nothing wrong happened to them, sir?" the man asked. As Vyn quickly assured, he led the father to you.
Sure enough, he gave you a big hug and some minor scolding but that would be dealt with later.
Your brother began to complain about how you went off without him but you joked that he doesn't need to follow you everywhere. Vyn smiled fondly as he saw the family reunited.
He was about to leave the scene though your father has some unfinished business. It was his idea that he should spend a little time with you and your family.
So, he agreed. From riding the teacups to experiencing the elusive Ferris Wheel, Vyn was happy to let go of all the worries behind him for now.

The Lost Child at Stellis - Artem Wing
"Hmm, it seems that this man is older. Probably a big boss or something," you observed.
Your perceptive stare made Artem worry if his tall height was intimidating you. Seeing the strained look from the man, you apologized for your stare.
"No worries, you just reminded me of my friend. She's a talented one, and quite smart," he admitted. "My name is Artem Wing. You may call me Mr. Artem."
"Okay," you replied. As Artem corrected his turtleneck, you felt an aura that guarantees that you are safe. For once, you were sure that he could help you find your father soon.
“You are truly lost to me. So in order to find your parents, please tell me your name?” he questioned.
“Oh, it’s bad that I never got to say my name. I’m (Y/N) (L/N)!” you said. Artem could feel his heart melting but he couldn't help but be familiar with your last name.
Getting closer to the answer, he questioned, "Do you know where you last saw your father?"
"Um, he was keeping watch of me and my brother while he was looking for something," you explained. "Then, I found a lost wallet which made me go to the lost and found section and return it to the lady."
"I did retrace my steps here but it seems that they could've been looking for me," you added. With you sulking in sadness, Artem cleared his throat for your attention.
"Just as I suspected. You are the daughter of one of my workers. Perhaps, he introduced me to the family but you don't remember," he said.
"So, you're saying...you know my dad?" you beamed. Artem nodded his head and you silently celebrated.
“But, that doesn't mean you get to come with me and find your father. It's too dangerous so I'll call him instead,” he declared. You nodded and tried to stay put on the bench.
Tired of rushing around, your tired father rested up in a small cafe. Your brother happily ate the chocolate sandwich that he packed for himself.
Then, there was something moving in your father's pocket. Reaching out for his phone, it showed the contact number of Artem.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Wing. Is there something important to deal with?" he asked in a worried tone.
"It's not serious, don't worry," Artem responded. "But, why is that your child is sitting on a bench, all alone? Please don't do something like this again."
The father almost trembled at the strict voice but quickly explained that he tried to find them and was planning to come back there. After a few minutes, Artem ended the call.
After a little break, it was not long that you finally met up with your father and brother again. You quickly thanked Artem for his help.
"No problem at all. I do what needs to be done," he said. Though it took you a few seconds to rewind the fact that this guy is a lawyer and your father works in his office.
So, what's next after solving this minor case? As you and your brother were thrill-seekers, it was time for the pirate ship and the dark ride!
It was funny to say that Artem's soul left figuratively, during those rides.

The Lost Child at Stellis - Luke Pearce
You looked up to see a brown-haired man, with a yellow striped shirt and khaki shorts. Those shoes looked fancy and didn't match the outfit well.
"Who are you, Mister?" you asked.
"I am Luke Pearce. Or you can call me Luke," he smiled.
"Are you going to hurt me?" you trembled.
"No, I wouldn't do that! I want to make sure if you're okay," Luke replied as he sat down beside you.
As you gave a thumbs up that you're fine, he asked, "May I know your name? I think I could help where your family is."
"(Y/N) (L/N)," you responded.
"Now that I thought of it, someone with the same last name approached us before I met you," he deduced.
You gasped, "Wait, you met them? You mean, you know where they are now?"
Luke nodded, "That's right, they've been worried since you just ran off! Why did you get lost, anyway?"
"I found a wallet on the ground. Then, I went to the lost and found section, which I returned to a nice lady who rewarded me and I went back here," you recalled.
Luke then decided to look for a park worker and told you to stay where you are, in case the parents do come over.
"Excuse me, sir?" Luke asked one of the park workers.
"What can I help you with?" he said.
"I saw a lost child sitting on the bench without their parents. Have you seen them?" Luke inquired.
"Hmm," the man hummed. "Earlier, a father and a young boy were looking for a lost child. What's their name?"
"(Y/N) (L/N)," Luke added.
The park worker nodded, "Ah, I see that you found the exact child! I appreciate your help, Mr. Pearce."
"Wha—how do you know…" Luke got cut off as the park worker explained that he saw his name in his antique store.
Luke chuckled at the sudden recognition but thanked him back. Suddenly, a man rushed to the park worker who was still looking for his child.
"Did you try going back to your first location?" Luke suggested. The father agreed and followed him to where you were sitting.
"Dad! You came back!" You jumped from the bench and hugged him tightly. Your brother copied the hug too, as Luke just smiled from the background.
"You just stayed where you are! Just what I taught you," he sighed happily. Nodding your head, you stared at Luke who helped a little in this case.
"Thank you for finding my daughter, Mr. Pearce. I'm very sorry that you have to experience this. One question, are you a real detective?"
"Well…I'll leave it to your imagination," he grinned.
"How can we repay you?" Your father held you and your brother tight. Luke never wanted a reward so he tried to decline the favor.
But, your father insisted. You and the family, together with Luke, spent the afternoon grabbing prizes for everyone and riding a drop tower.
Luke thought he was brave. But, his mind escalated and screamed internally when it dropped down safely.

The Lost Child of Stellis - Notes
Note 1: My MC is named Clairemont. She has a minor appearance in this book because the main focus is going to be you, the child reader. Oh, the four men too.
Note 2: I don't own these characters, as they belong to miHoYo. Please support the game by downloading it on Android and iOS!
Note 3: All books of this collection are gender-neutral although I usually write in the 2nd POV. You just choose any character to continue the story.
Note 4: On Wattpad and AO3, some parts were changed. Well, I placed an urgent note (you can read it below) that I rewritten them after noticing a major problem that needs to be corrected.
Note 5: If you're curious, this will also be available on Wattpad on the same username and AO3 as Cookis167. Trust me, this is not the only book in this collection.
~•~•~•~•~•~
Urgent Note: Hello. I noticed how I handled the lost child storyline poorly and I just researched that when a child is lost, the child should stay where they are so the parents might find them. If they are seen as lost, the adult can call the authorities.
I am really sorry I overlooked this part. As a result, I am going to rewrite the chapters in order to avoid comments and I will do my best to do accurate writing next time. I hope you understand and sorry for the inconvenience.

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE? Does anyone have the guts to create a Tears of Themis Idol AU?
Tears of Themis Experience
I am actually one of the people who pre-registered as soon as I saw this game on Google Play Store. It supposed to be played on the day it came out, but my Oppo phone said no 🥲
That is, until I got a new phone, a Samsung phone.
One of my first instances was to download Wattpad, a few stuff, Tears of Themis and Obey Me! (I'll talk about the latter soon)
And thus, I enjoyed the game without problems. I got the rewards (which were overwhelming, but I digress) and a great tutorial on how the game works. Mind you, this is my first otome game experience!
I'm currently on Episode 2, so I still have a long way to go. This game will forever be in my memory ❤️❤️❤️
(oh, and here's an out of context Luke Pearce screenshot, but man, all four of them are so handsome!)
This is making me feel things a normal person shouldn’t feel

I was slightly invested on the whole Alhaitham being Nadia’s familiar thing— so I came up with something… what if he is an Aranara that can be seen by humans and just refuses to use his real form 💀💀💀 /nsrs
Hope you like it!!
saw a comparison between Bennett and Aventurine and how they were both burdened by their luck and felt compelled to write them meeting -> note: im not really that far or that in to Star Rail. So if Aventurine's characterization is off, i do sincerely apologize
takes place after meeting Sparkle :D {and if it's obvious im bullshitting in some places, no it's not <3} pry Lichtenburg Bennett out of my bony dead hands
{An ornate chip sparkles in the dazzling lamplights as it's flipped high in the air}
{It lands in the palm of an irate blond, one that smiles as he strolls along the pathways of the deserted night. The chip repeats it's flight.}
"That crazed Fool..."
{Aventurine's nose scrunches despite his efforts to keep an elated face. It's not like anyone's around to see him, but- still. The first step to living a lie is to fool yourself first. The chip is weighing heavy in his palm, so he flicks it up again.}
{And again. And again. And again. Sparkle's words echo in his head.}
"- are you from Sigonia?" "I say you belong to the space under the manhole cover, not in a dream." "...the lapdogs of the IPC."
{Lapdog.}
{The next few moments feel wrapped in honey, sticky sugar thickening his mind to a snail's crawl. His fingers brush a blackened code on his neck, a sigh breezing out a clenched jaw}
{For the first time, the chip lands wrong in his hand. It's pinched between the junction of his pinkie and palm, rocketed to the side as Aventurine's fist clenches}
"Ack-!"
{...}
{Who was that?}
{Aventurine hadn't made that sound.}
{Slowly, like his head was moved by marionette strings, he turns his gaze to the side. The sight of a boy with ashy blond curls greets him.}
{He's clutching his nose in one hand, the chip Aventurine had accidentally shot at him [seriously- what are the odds?] nestled in the other.}
"Ow... where did that come from? I almost wish it was a rock."
{The older man shakes himself out of his daze, quickly but casually making his way over. This boy was young- or at least looked and sounded young- so... a gentler persona should be the ideal approach}
{Fuck if he knew how to approach kids though.}
"Hey there! So sorry about that, it slipped from my hand!"
{Bright emeralds snap to attention. It actually gives Aventurine pause, how bright they are. Pure. He would almost believe them unburdened if it wasn't for the snarled scar speared through his bicep and Lichtenburg figures peeking out around his neck}
"No, no- it's ok! I probably shouldn't have been walking so close anyway.. It's just- I'm kind of lost?"
{Aventurine blinks.}
{He wasn't lying of course, for once the chip quite literally slipped from his hand. Which- almost never happens, he'll admit. An unlucky incident that... was kind of thrilling. To be unlucky- not to hit a scar riddled kid in the face.}
{But still, was this new blondie really going to take him at face value? Not even a suspicious side eye? Talk about naivete...}
{And- lost? How do you get lost in a dream. That takes some serious skill...}
{Unless he was lying. Penacony was full of those after all.}
"Sir...?" "I was wondering why I hadn't seen someone like you around here before!"
{The sudden switch from quiet introspection to enthusiasm startles the kid back a step. Minor setback, that was fine. He could still salvage this encounter.}
{He offers his hand to innocent emeralds}
"Lost, huh? That's unfortunate, kid. What's your name?" "Oh- I'm Bennett!"
{Bennett fumbles for a second, going to shake Aventurine's hand with the one still holding the poker chip before switching to the one over his nose.}
{Poor kid pulls that one away too when he sees the speckles of blood on it. Shit, did he really hit him that hard? He knew the chip was heavy but he didn't think it was that heavy.}
{There was already a bandage pressed over his nose too...}
{Aventurine shakes his bloodied hand when he notices the boy growing increasingly distressed. They were both wearing gloves anyway, so it's not like it was a major issue.}
"Well, nice to meet you, Bennett. Even if it's under... unlucky circumstances."
{The older man was hardly ever unlucky. There was a reason he was called Aventurine, damnit. He never lost a game of chance. And he never made a losing bet. Something else was afoot here, he was sure of it.}
{The once white bandages over Bennett's nose slowly gets swallowed by red as the kid gives a weak little laugh}
"I'm pretty notorious for unlucky circumstances, actually. No matter where I go, my bad luck always seems to cause problems for other people..."
{...}
{Aeons, he looked so sad. Aventurine's chest actually hurts a little just looking at the boy. After all, he wasn't the one with a bloody nose. Fake as it was in this dream world.}
"Nonsense, friend. You've hardly caused me any problems. If anything, I owe you an apology for nailing you in the nose."
{Unintentionally.}
{The older man wraps an arm around the kid's shoulder's to steer him towards one of the many shops in Dreamville. They didn't actually have any vendors in them at this time, but they had to at least have one bandage somewhere. Right?}
{Although with Bennett's luck, maybe not.}
"Let's get you a new bandage, yeah?" "Oh-! I have one right here!"
{And lo and behold, he produces a near identical bandage from one of the pouches hanging from his belt. The only difference was the rounded corners.}
{Aventurine plucks the bandage from between Bennett's fingers to apply before the kid can insist on doing it himself}
"You must get hurt a lot to just have this on you, huh?" "Ah, heh. I guess? But that just comes with the territory of being an adventurer! And- with being unlucky too..."
{An adventurer, huh? That explained the scars, at least a little}
{He slowly peels the ruined bandage off Bennett's nose and flicks it off to the side. To his surprise, it doesn't cleanly make it into a trash can. No, the wadded up thing bounces off the side and, for a second, Aventurine resigns himself to having to walk over and pick it up}
{But it does go in- having bounced straight up instead of back at the blond duo- so he won't actually have to pause in treating his new friend's injury. That feeling of anticipation that fluttered in his throat though... was that how normal people felt? Unsure that something would go there way but hoping it would?}
"Woah... that was so cool!" "...It was, wasn't it?"
{For once, Aventurine felt genuine. Like he earned this bout of boasting. He felt... normal around this kid. ...Huh.}
{The older man smooths the new bandage over Bennett's nose, careful with the pressure he applies. The waxy paper slips between his fingers before he can throw the backside away}
{The boy catches it, innocent emeralds widening when it lands secure in atop the poker chip still in his palm}
"Maybe our lucks are rubbing off on each other, Benny." "Ah-! No, I'm sor-"
{Aventurine ruffles Bennett's hair before he can finish}
"Don't apologize, it's a good thing. I happen to have spectacular luck, I'll have you know. It really takes the fun out of winning." "It does?" "Completely."
{Bennett looks thoughtful at that, glancing down at chip in his glove. Innocent emeralds widen again as he shakes the backside of the bandage into his other glove to hold the disc out to Aventurine}
"I never gave you your chip back!"
{The older man reaches for it, but- he doesn't know if he'll ever see this kid again. Hm...}
{He plucks the waxy film out of his other hand, completely ignoring the chip}
"Please, I have hundreds of those. Keep it."
{Bennett sputters, but Aventurine can't see him as he walks to throw the film away}
"I can't take this-! It looks expensive!"
{It certainly can be exchanged for a lot of credits.}
"Think of it as... a memento of our friendship." "But- I didn't give you anything."
{The older man laughs, startling even himself.}
"Give me something next time we meet then, Bennett."
{It isn't until Aventurine is almost out of sight that he realizes he never gave the kid his name.}
{Well. There was always next time.}
