Seven Prayers for Seven Archons (a Genshin Impact fic)

Let me tell you about this fic! I published it in early 2022 and, despite the fact that it's quite outdated, I still think it's a pretty fun read. (It's definitely a weird read, at least!)

Here's the pitch:

structural formalism as an evocative device (in hindsight, I'd cite Italo Calvino as a major influence);

style and syntax as character voice (there's a recipe section!, for some reason?);

a comparative character study of the entire Genshin cast circa v2.4.

Just kidding! That was not actually the pitch unless you're one of 3–5 very specific followers who I'm guessing might appreciate that.

Here's the actual pitch:

Genshin characters' Vision stories; every single one (v2.4). Some are simple remixes of canon, others fill in missing scenes.

Includes:

an Ayaka training montage (tragedy);

Yun Jin's greatest performance;

the Kokomi-Orobaxi conversation both of them deserved;

an informal meeting with the Yuheng;

if you've read Barbara's Vision story then you know what you're in for;

Alatus meets Haagentus and Morax;

...and, one of my personal favourites:

“Once upon a time, there was a Hoarfrost Heiress, destined to be a Darkrime Duchess.”

Hermione —> Overrated? Or underrated?

Do you think Harry or Ron would have been incapable of finding the Horcruxes without Hermione? Do you think their capabilities are overshadowed by Hermione since she’s so smart? When they became Aurors do you think they flopped or thrived without Hermione?

Anon are you trying to start a war in my ask box with this one…

You know, I think I would say Hermione is increasingly underrated in certain fandom spaces, after a long time being maaaybe idealised to the point where her character had all her flaws erased and the backlash was bound to happen. I love Hermione as a character, talents, flaws and all. I love thinking about her arc, her motivations and emotions and relationships that we don't glimpse through Harry's narration (her friendship with Ginny being a great example - I loved loved loved playing with it in Orchards). I just always enjoy exploring her inner life and her joy and fears and more intimate feelings when writing or reading fics (something this recent piece, something so tender (i can't explain) by @incalculablepower, does so so well). When I was much younger I used to be a bit ambivalent about Hermione as a character, for reasons that are almost cliche now: a reader who are themselves a bookish girl seeing too much of themselves in Hermione's worst moments and not enjoying the invitation to look inwards that those moments prompted, lol. (I remember little me reading the part where Ron mocks Hermione for jumping up and down in her chair while putting her hand up in class and being like sorry do other people... not like it when I do that in class... oh no oh no)

The boring answer is I don't think Harry or Ron would have been able capable of finding the Horcruxes without Hermione, but I also definitely don't think Hermione would have been able to find them on her own. Back in the day in fandom spaces, I think Harry and Ron were a bit caricatured as useless clowns bouncing off walls with Hermione being the only one with any sense. These days, at least in the fandom spaces I interact with, there've been a lot of big steps towards giving Harry and Ron their completely deserved credit for being smart, strategic and impressive throughout the Horcrux hunt (digression but I was doing a re-read of Malfoy Manor chapter the other day and sorry Harry and Ron double act in that scene is so impressive when they're dealing with Wormtail. Auror skills absolutely at work in that moment). I think Harry and Ron would do well in those early years as Aurors without Hermione, in part because they have learned from her over the years, but not solely because of it.

For me, it's so interesting to think about how a lot of Hermione's character growth and arc would happen after the war. Although I don't think the transition to Auror life would have been straightforward for Harry and Ron, I think Hermione would really struggle with going back to Hogwarts. It definitely makes sense that she would want to go back and try and get back on her pre-war track, but you know what they say: you can never really go home. For Hermione, going back to school would have been extremely dislocating and challenging, for so many reasons: the absence of Harry and Ron socially (and ofc being long-distance with Ron), but also the experience of going from being a war hero on-the-run back to the very controlled and arguably infantilising life of a boarding school, alongside peers who lived a very different war to her and went through Hogwarts under the Carrows. Hermione would have her own post-war traumas to deal with, but no longer be alongside the two people who shared hers most directly. Then there's also the context with her parents... I think the 1998/1999 academic year was a rough one for her, in ways that are so interesting to think about as a writer.

(Now if only someone... would write a fic... about the girls at Hogwarts in their seventh year... where we might explore these themes... that might begin with b and rhyme with feasts... maybe... might be nice...)

Earlier today I started a new blog on Wordpress where I will provide meta analysis, reviews, thoughts, and personal ramblings about my everyday life.

My first post is about five of my favourite Luke Skywalker works and it would be awesome if you checked it out and maybe reblogged this post to spread the word about my new venture!

Thanks for the tag @riality-check!!

Rules: recommend three of your own fics (1 most popular, two hidden gems) then tag some people!

Most popular

[I'm going to cheat a little and give you my most popular ever AND my most popular Steddie, cause I know what all of yall are here for these days]

ever: Don't Take This Sinner: A post-war Dramione marriage law fic, with a major twist! Ft. a significant amount of pining, an atrocious overuse of pretentious literary quotes, definite infidelity that isn't really cheating, and, yknow, some good good smut.

steddie: same as it ever was: Steve and Eddie grow close after defeating Vecna in 86, and then one day Eddie packs up and leaves, sending Steve into a very confused spiral. They reconnect in 1990, with Eddie on the verge of fame and Steve finally secure enough to realize why Eddie leaving fucked him up, all those years ago. Told in two timelines, ft. a significant amount of angst, stress, pining, and, again, more good smut.

Hidden gems

i met your ghost (he followed me): Steve grieves the loss of Eddie post-Vecna, until... he starts to see him, and talk to his ghost. He learns more about himself, and his feelings, and also, about what ghosts really are. Ft. Steve finally gets to have a lil breakdown as a treat, ghost sex, dubious science, and also: a happily ever after where Eddie is very much alive.

I thought I knew what love was (what did I know): Three times Eddie Munson doesn’t go in Steve Harrington’s pool, and the one time he does. Ft. Eddie having many gay!panics! over Steve Harrington and his pool. fluffy and sweet!

no pressure tags: @strawberryspence @thefreakandthehair @flashyysins @toburnup and @ anyone else who wants to do it, tag me so I can check out your recs!

Constructing Kingdoms is back for a new season of Kingdom Hearts analysis!!

For this month’s episode, I’m going to be discussing the narrative significance of this concept of unreality introduced in Melody of Memory, how it fits into the existing patterns of the story, and why it's introduction matters in the context of the franchise's coming of age narrative. 

For anyone who didn’t see the channel update I posted in July for the anniversary of my first video, going forward I’ll be doing new episodes every other month to allow myself more time to work on each one while balancing everything I have going on IRL. Next episode will be going online on November 26th.
