One thing I really loved about the Impostors Series was that we got to know other cities and their specific culture. This was something I wondered about during Uglies, and it is super fascinating to see the different ways they all go, and their politics and all. Shreve, Victoria, Paz, Diego. I mean yeah, during the Pretties time, the differences were probably not as big because of the lesions, but still. Uglies was so focused on Tallys city (I am one of those people who believe Sealtec is Tallys city, by the way) and maybe Diego. It makes the world feel quite real. And yeah, I also love the idea of the city AIs.
the impostors series really opened us up to the world that we didn't get to see all that much in uglies! it was definitely really really fun to learn about the other cities though i mostly retained stuff from only paz & shreve since they played some bigger parts in the story. there's a lot i'm curious about diego's (the city) path after the mindrain because of diego's ai which was a VERY interesting character. uglies was definitely SUPER focused on tally's city/sealtec (+ a bit of diego) and while we didn't get to see much of the world like we did in impostors, it really did paint the details and felt like a real city. one of my favourite parts of the city was prettytown with all the cliques and stuff! and it felt super cool. city ais are so fun to think about because they are definitely reflections of their city in some way. they're all Very Distinct and that's what is so interesting about them! im super curious about tally's city and if they did get an ai - how it would be like. the thing is we don't really get a whole lot of tally's city post-mindrain anyway so! we will have to be stuck with our imagination and fanfics LMAO. omg i should try to write a fanfic for uglies/impostors, we don't have that many fics ahrag

Tumblr media
High above the sky, a being descends into the world. From a golden star they fly, everyone across Teyvat can see the shining glow the star makes. And everyone stops and stares in awe as they began to realize what this could mean for their world.
Joy, absolute joy fills every human and humanoid soul in Teyvat.
"The creator! They have returned! May our creator bless our souls and being of the day!" Excited cheers and chants course throughout the land as they watch the star that was believed to be their beloved creator who textbooks and stories told of.
One of the many upon millions of souls who caught a sight of the marvelous glow was a bond traveler and their short white haired traveling companion.
"Look Traveler! The creator has descended!" The shorter flying friend cheered as she pointed to t he star. The traveler looks to their friend with a raised brow and a clearly confused expression on their face.
"The creator?" They ask "Paimon how come I’m just now hearing of this creator person?" The traveler asks as the two walk on a grassy path. Paimon looks to her traveling friend with such a disrespected face and looks as if she could strangle her clueless friend on the spot.
"Paimon has told you about The Creator! Remember? All the stories about our Creator ascending from our world and it's prophesied for them to return on a bright glowing star that will brighten Teyvats sky the same way the Sun would? Have you not been paying attention to Paimon?" A sense a guilt washes over the traveler as they look over their friends pain stricken face.
"Of course I've been listening to you, Paimon. I just...forgot. Yeah...I forgot." The obvious lie satisfied Paimon enough for her to believe her companion as she sighed.
"Paimon just doesn't understand how you don't know who The Creator is! Paimon hasn't been the only one to talk about them... " The Traveler just shrugged their shoulders stepping over a fallen branch that more likely than not, fell from a large tree.
"Well then Paimon will tell you about them again, what kind of travel guide would Paimon be if Paimon knowingly let you not know who The Creator is? " she paused for a moment looking to see in which direction the star was landing. The star was going East, while they were moving West, and deeper into a grassy land.
Long, long ago a being floated in the sky, all alone and with no one to share any company with. They were something that most would assume was lonely. So to fill the whole that the emptiness left they made somewhere to call home, a land that was large and vast, one that had its own design and could make its own destiny. They made elements that would reside in the world, each of which would reflect a different emotion and feeling of theirs. However, though they made many, they knew that only some would last the longest. Content. Wrath. calm. Loyalty. Happy. Wretched. Tired.
They lived on the world they made with their own feelings beside them, but for some reason they still could feel that empty feeling that wouldn't be hugged away. So they thought to make something else. Something that wouldn't be entirely like them. They would make humans that would be similar to them, but none would look like them. And so that's how the people of Teyvat was made. From there they lived on Teyvat with their creations, everything was peaceful. They were loved and worshipped. The people of Teyvat built them their own sanctuary with a throne made of Gold and and other shiny or prized items. Shrines and statues of them were made and regulatory were prayed at. Offerings were left for the Creator aswell. Their own emotions had chosen successors which would be known as Archons. The world was at peace. Then, on a day that seemed too dark and gloomy to be true, the oh so great Creator disappeared. Seeming to have been wiped from the face of Teyvat. The only thing left from them was a hand written note that said; To my dear world, one that I will always be with. I will return soon. Please do not miss me to much for I won't be gone forever. When I return, I will come from the sky, on a bright star. And a week exactly from my return it will be my birthday, so please be well prepared. This is not goodbye for I as your Creator will always be watching over you. All of you, my darling creations. With much love, Creator After they left the world became something anew. Became something so different from when they were here. The change caused wars to brake out, Teyvat to shift. Now no more then seven centuries pasted to make Teyvat into what it is known as now...
"And so the land of Teyvat grew independent, longing for the day our Creator would return..." Paimon concluded the story. The took a few seconds to process all the information they'd just been given. Just as the traveler opened their mouth to speak their ears twitched at the sound of a soft yet raspy voice. The voice gave the traveler a greeting without introducing themselves and calling the Traveler by their name. This made the blond quite confused. Hearing their own name after had been called by their title for so long felt foreign to them.
"Who are you? Show yourself." The Traveler demanded. Paimon looked at the Traveler with questioning gaze. "Uh, Traveler?... Who are you talking to? Did you hear something?" Panic began to course through both of their bodies. Who was this Traveler hearing?
Were they even hearing anybody?

been a while since ive posted brainrots but imagine genshin sagau (the one with creator!reader) except it’s sort of like surviving romance from webtoon 😍😍😍⁉️⁉️⁉️
content // blood, violence, religious themes, grammar errors
basically, you wake up in genshin one day — how awesome right? except, it’s not awesome when the first thing that happened to you when you stepped foot into mondstadt are two knights accusing you for “copying the divine creator” before killing you straight away without letting you speak.
what’s weirder is how just when you thought you’ll wake up to your world from your weird dream, you wake up in the same spot in genshin. it took another death for you to put two together that every time you die, time somehow rewinds back to when you first wake up in genshin.
so like any other person, you decided to try and not to die while thinking of a way to go back to your home.
one detail about this strange situation is how every time you go back in time, no one seems to remember the events that occurred, making it somewhat easier for you to not do the same mistakes you did.
it should’ve been easy — especially in a game like genshin impact — but it’s not easy when every single characters in the game, including the ones you loved so much when they were just fictional characters, are after your head for the same reason as your first two killers: for copying the divine creator with no shame!
it was during your fourth life when you found out about this divine creator that made life hard for you. apparently, there’s someone out there who has the same face as you and is the “god” of teyvat that everyone worships, and you’re unfortunately considered an imposter in this world who must be wiped out.
another thing about your situation is that somehow, all other living beings — be it hilichurls, slimes, and even ruin guards — are nice to you, helping you get away from the cruel npcs and characters who want nothing but your head.
take note, that’s not the strangest thing in this weird world.
after a near-death experience thanks to the darknight hero, you found out that your blood is the color of gold—
and every time a character sees it, it seems as if they woke up from a brainwash (plot twist, the imposter brainwashed the acolytes into thinking they’re the real one thanks to dottore’s inventions or an ability of theirs).
to make things angsty; if you somehow managed to made everyone convinced that you’re actually the creator that they oh so worshipped and praised, the real imposter will immediately kill you out of desperation, causing you go back to square one and on the verge to just give up.
but what if, somehow, when you go back to square one after that, some characters actually remembered the past event?
and how can they help you?

At Fault height chart!!! :D
Ps: (their heights keep changing so I still don't know their exact heights. The only reference that I've got is that John is like 1,70 to 1,80 meters so you can imagine the rest from that-)

Hey sorry I just stumbled upon your Impostors series thoughts and can I just say! Hi!! Hello!! I am so happy so see someone else who is similarly climbing the walls about the AI characters as well!! I loved Diego so much they're terrible they're morally incorruptible they've never made a good decision in this whole series they're the only reason shit got done ever; and they also always have that subtle condescension towards humans going while clearly wanting to help (1/3)
And I just think that's an incredible way of Scott to integrate both the hyperlogical nature of an AI and the ways in which their logic vastly differs from what we know as normal human logic. And Paz! Paz is so great too! I think it was unironically my fav character in the series because it feels like its both the friend you have to explain everything too and the super supportive partner in crime. (2/3) And more than that I love how Paz is Diego’s foil in the way that it trusts humans and is willing to work with them not just for them (Side note- I love the pronoun difference between Diego’s they/them and Paz’s it/its and how that hints at their whole “should we literally create humans” divide later in the series). If you ever want someone to geek out with over these characters or even just Imposters/ Uglies in general hmu (3/3)
omg hello! sorry for taking so long to reply and post this ask lol, it took me quite a while to formulate one. i'm in absolute glee that someone else has similar thoughts as me on the AI characters in impostors RAAA its so nice since the fandom is so small. i love diego's characterization and they're fucking insane. you hit all the points of why i love them SO much - especially the condescension part. they want to help, they want to do good but their own sense of what's best and morality is Fucked Up. and that's why i love them and their 'the ends justify the means' way of thinking (almost! not exactly. you can't sum up their character so easily) oh god i love paz. like its just dopamine-inducing to see on-screen (on-page), its so sweet. they're definitely my favourite character as well, and frey is so real for it being her favourite ai LMAO. paz and diego being foils to each other makes them so interesting, i love them so so much !!!! i do find it cool how in uglies diego (the city) is like utopian and all that compared to tally's OG city (we never learn the name) (huh) but in impostors diego (the ai) is one of the antagonists. i like to think of the AIs as almost reflections of their city and its interests and needs so its certainly quite the train of thought to think about how far diego (the city) and its people have gone - and society in general. tysm for sending in an ask! its always super fun to find people to actually TALK to in super small fandoms that you're in. feel free to message/send me another ask if you ever feel like talking!!!!

Chapters; [Nav] [Previous] Part 3[clear skies] [Next coming soon] Warnings: Having chain on(in a non-sexual way) An|been working on this for so long, but the series is back, and i finally have motivation for it again <3
Tumblr media
Hollow footsteps along a cold cavern floor was the only thing you could hear, loud with a suppressing echo. You remembered the pattern to this walk from before, the stillness that it brought to the area around you. Everything except you seemed to stop when the sound arose from the abyss.
You stayed calm, heavy chains weighed you down, however that was also something that you’d remembered from before. So much so that you could even say that you’d grown almost comfortable with the feeling.
As the person walked, you didn’t even have to see them to know who it was, but when you did a ball of loathing made its presence known within your stomach. A person who looked just like you waltzed closer to you, as if they owned everything around. As if they owned you. The only difference had to be the fact that they wore a vail which covered their face.
“What? Not enough pride to show my face to the very being that you locked away?” Your tone calm, but still cut as if you’d just killed. Everything about this person resembled you. From the way they stand, all the way to their body shape. It was like looking in some kind of mirror, but this reflection would never be you.
“I have no need to show you my face. You’re just an imposter, no one would believe that their oh so holy creator could be copied. You told them yourself. How’d the story go? ‘Something that wouldn't be entirely like them. They would make humans that would be similar to them, but none would look like them?” They stared you mockingly, to the point you could hear their smirk, and you wanted to cut it right off your their face. Their arms was crossed as they circled you, looking down at you as if you were their prey.
Your fingers twitched as you glared at the vail, the need to just tear it to shreds was whispering in your ear. Tempting you to attack. However, you didn’t.
“Teyvat’s growing more upset by the day you know…” They continued on, for some reason they ditched the mocking tone, and instead opted for a smooth and persuasive one. They stopped when they were in front of you again. For the first time, in a long time, you did’t understand what they were on about. The feeling of not knowing made a empty feeling in your chest.
“I know this.” Being of divinity, you had a connection with the land, you knew things, and so did the lands you made. “What about it?” For a second, they didn’t say anything, no noise was made, the world was still at a halt, scared to move in the other person’s presence.
“I think you should learn to control your land, before the creations have to suffer for it…” you didn’t move, confused, you didn’t understand what the person was talking about. As far as you knew, everything about Teyvat was the same, well when it come to the agricultural at least. You assumed that the people have clearly grown and developed since you’d been out of your cave like prison.
You keep a strong poker face as you though for a second, then respond.
“I thought you were the creator, and that I’m the imposter, why dont you fix it? Creator.” Your words dripped venom, and burn as if left your throat. They didn’t say anything, instead they walked away, however before they left your line of sight, they stopped.
“Control Teyvat, before I do something that will really hurt that things you love.” You gave no response as you heard their footsteps fade off into the distance. Once you knew they they were gone, the world seemed to replay once again. You sighed, looking down at your tired wrist. The chains that held them tight was really starting to worry you. As you stared at the material memories of what the world used to look like filled your mind.
You remember the warmth that radiates From the sun, the feeling of the wind blowing past you. The thought feels empty now, unlike when it used to bring you comfort. Thinking back into the past used to be your source of will, and strength. Now the only reason, it seems, that you’re still fighting is so that the place that you created isn’t destroyed. You wonder what Teyvat looks like now, how much it’s changed.
If it changed at all.
Then your mind wondered to what that person said. It came back to you clear, especially since it was still fresh in your mind.
“I think you should learn to control your land, before the creations have to suffer for it…”
The line repeated in your head as if it was a video on loop. What had they meant, and what were they planing? Thoughts ran around in your mind and the more you thought, the larger the aching in your head grows. From being locked away for so long, your knowledge of Teyvat’s well being seemingly deteriorated over time. As you had expected when you first arrived in this cell, however, what you didn’t expect was for it to get this bad.
You, as the creator, was supposed to know the land better than anyone, and yet, somehow your connection faltered. In truth you had no idea of the things that was going on outside of your cave, but why let the enemy know?
As long you could continue to get your reflection to believe that you understood what was happening outside of these stone walls, the better. In a situation like this, you needed an upper hand, or a way to make them believe that you had the upper hand. From the land, your mind went to that blond Traveler, and his flying companion.
To you, he looked like another person that you met long ago, but he was the male version. They have that same light yellow colored hair, and golden brown eye and the same skin color. Though, his hair is longer, and their clothing style is vastly different. You knew that you’d never made these people before.
Never have you even made anyone who even looked remotely close. Not to mention that their choice of clothing was one that is foreign to Teyvat. When you looked at them, you could see a shift of the glow in their eyes, and of the color of the glowing patches that they wear on their outfits.
The shift is so subtle, so crisp and perfect that you felt compelled to draw him in. You’ve had Outlanders come to Teyvat before, this was nothing short of new, but these Travelers.
They were something special.
When you called out to the blond, you did not expect him to answer. You didn’t know that he would be able to respond, it surprised you in complete honesty. It was when you saw him for the first time, that you knew that he would be the one to hold the world in his hands.
And what ever he choose to do with it, will be completely up to him.
You just hope that he’ll learn that soon. Otherwise, he may never find a home.
or his twin.
