now that doesn't mean I won't do the others....but let's see.....anyways enjoy!! 💜💜
pt.1 is here!!!
Scaramouche
Tumblr media
"The Wanderer....coming to Paimon and Traveller for help....this sure is a rare occurrence, Paimon must say!"
Paimon and The Traveller were sat opposite to The Wanderer who was looking down with a faint dust of pink on his cheeks.
He was in need of advice on what to get his girlfriend for their anniversary, and in desperation and no one else to ask, he found himself asking the Traveller and Paimon for advice.
"Shut it. I need some advice and then I am off. That's it." The Wanderer kept his head lowered as The Traveller smirked at his attempt to be tough but still seemingly desperate.
"Well, what do you need help with, Wanderer?" Paimon made sure to emphasis the word help failing to hide her cheeky smirk.
The Wanderer glared daggers at her before speaking.
"You are going to help me find a present." he wasn't really giving them a choice.
"A present?! For who?? Paimon knows you have no friends!" Paimon shouted with no filter for the whole world to hear before the Traveller covered her mouth.
"Shut up and bite your tongue, Paimon!!" The Traveller whispered in Paimon's ears ignoring her muffled shouts, "Yes we will help!" The Traveller said to The Wanderer as he let out a grunt of satisfaction.
They went to many different stalls making very, VERY, V E R Y small talk, as most of time The Wanderer would see a stall and would pick up an item, show it to the Traveller and Paimon and put it down.
"We've been walking for ages!!! Who is this even for?" Paimon moaned even though she could float.
"None of your business." the Wanderer spat as he picked up his pace making Paimon roll her eyes.
"Why is he being so secretive, is it for his girlfriend or something?" Paimon said joking like in the Traveller's ear as they giggled behind him finding the concept of him having a partner so unrealistic.
After a while, The Wanderer picked a few things that he liked and put them in a basket. He said farewell to The Traveller and Paimon before going to find the person the present was for.
"Paimon thinks....we should follow him to find who he is giving presents to!" Of course the Traveller didn't object.
So that is how they found themselves stalking the poor Wanderer. They followed him until he reached a girl on a bench reading book.
She looked up, saw him and a warm smile graced her face as the Wanderer smiled back patting her head.
He handed the girl something before she opened it and looked happier than she had just seemed as she jumped in his arms hugging him, as The Wanderer chuckled, hugging her back.
"I love you, Kuni!!"
"I love you too, idiot..."
Your voices could be heard by the Traveller pretty clearly, but not by Paimon
"Ugh Paimon can't hear....OH MY GOODNESS...DON'T TELL ME THEY ARE DATING!! MOVE, TRAVELLER I CAN'T HEAR ENOUGH!" Paimon pushed The Traveller's shoulder a bit too much...
Making them topple out of the comfy bush they were hiding in, interrupting the intimate moment.
The Wanderer was silently fuming as you jumped behind him confused as to who the random two figures were until you notice it was the infamous Traveller and her floating pet.
Just as the Wanderer was about to go insane you held his hand.
"It's okay Kuni," you smile warmly making his temper disappear slowly, "Hello! You must be The Traveller and Paimon! Nice to meet you!....although may I ask why you followed my boyfriend here?"
Even though it was too late, the Wanderer covered your mouth, holding you body against his.
"Y/N....shhhh!" his face was bright red as he looked down.
And of course Paimon had to say something...
"WHAT!!!??? THERE'S NO WAY YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND IT JUST ISN'T LIKE YOU!!"
You laughed as you pulled The Wanderer's hand away from your mouth holding it.
"Haha, well miracles happen I suppose....but you haven't told me how you know him and why you are here..."
Paimon gives a long run down of everything leaving a warm smile on your face.
"You asked for help just for me Kuni? You truly are a softie..." you give him a small peck on the cheek making his ears turn bright red.
"Well, you mean a lot to me idiot...." The Wanderer mumbled.
"Paimon still can't believe your getting some action...."
"SHUT IT PAIMON!!"
☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•
Kazuha Kaedehara
Tumblr media
It was your sister Beidou's birthday and you invited the Traveller and Paimon for a suprise party on the Crux.
"I'm so glad you could make it! I cannot wait to throw this party for her she's gonna love it!" you exclaimed walking through the streets of Liyue.
"Paimon is so glad she gets to come and celebrate!! And eat lots too..." The Traveller rolled her eyes at Paimon being food obsessed.
"I need to find Kazuha...he promised he would make it." no one knew about your relationship with Kazuha, not even your sister. Which is why you intended to tell her tonight at the party.
Kazuha had gone to Inazuma for 2 days and was meant to come back at Liyue Harbor by now.
"Don't be worried Y/N, Kazuha wouldn't break a promise! Paimon knows that much!" you smile warmly with love thinking out about true that was, hoping Paimon and the Traveller don't notice.
"Hello everyone." Kazuha's soft spoken voice could be heard as you ran up to him and wrapped your arms around him tightly as he hugged you back.
"I missed you Kazu..." you whispered in his ear so that Paimon and The Traveller wouldn't hear.
"I missed you more Y/N"
"Um they look quite in love don't they Traveller~" Paimon wiggled her eyebrows as the Traveller laughed slightly. Unbeknownst to both you and Kazuha.
Time Skip!!
It is the night of the party and all presents have been given and everyone is drinking to their hearts content.
"Kazu, make sure you stay sober so we can tell Beidou our big secret. I know you can't handle alcohol well babe...." you whispered to Kazuha as the festivities began.
Little did you know, Beidou thought it would be funny to switch the grape juice he was drinking to wine.
"Thank you for coming again. Are you enjoying yourselves?" you sat by the Traveller and Paimon who were only one seat away from Kazuha.
"We sure are! The food is amazing~ won't you eat and drink?" Paimon asked as you seemed fully sober and they hadn't seen you get anything to munch on.
"Well I just want to make sure everything is okay before I eat and-" Before you could finish your sentence someone's arms slithered around your waist from behind, you turn back to see Kazuha with flushed face and eyes lidded.
"Kazu, are you drunk? And as much as I wanna cuddle, everyone is gonna see-" you whispered to him, trying to softly pull his arms away.
"HEY! KAZUHA AND Y/N!! WHY ARE YOU BOTH SO CLOSE?!" you hear Beidou's drunk voice as everyone went silent and stared at you with a drunk Kazhua wrapped around you.
"We have been together for 2 years though...." you slapped your hand over Kazuha's mouth, after he just spilled your secret, smiling nervously as everyone started mumbling.
"Paimon shipped you guys and all...but TWO YEARS?!!!" Paimon shouted.
"Beidou you see the thing is-" you sheepishly tried to explain before Beidou hushed you.
"I'm joking around....I knew you guys were together it's pretty obvious. You should let that boy live a little though...luckily, I gave him some wine to really enjoy the party" you stared in shock as Kazuha had now fallen asleep on your lap and Beidou laughed loudly as everyone began chattering.
"Traveller, Paimon....do you agree?"
"Yes you guys act like newlyweds...but we are so happy for you!!"
☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•
Cyno
Tumblr media
The Traveller and Paimon happened to be in Sumeru and they met up with Cyno just to see how he was doing.
"How's it going, Cyno? Anything new?" Paimon asked gleefully.
Cyno ate his food silently before replying.
"I want you to meet someone." he began eating again not expanding further making the Traveller and Paimon a bit perplexed.
"Um...do you wanna expand on that, orrrr...?" Cyno didn't say anything, all he did was stand up and start walking off assuming they would follow.
"Hey, hold up!!" Paimon and the Traveller chased after him walking his pace one they caught up with him.
They walked a long way to Gandharva Ville only to see Tighnari.
"UGHH CYNO WE ALREADY KNOW TIGHNARI!!" Paimon shouted in frustration from walking for such a long time as the Traveller shut her up.
"Tighnari, where is Y/N?" Cyno asked ignoring Paimon.
"Ummm I think she went to the Desert with Collei? Why?" Tighnari asked confused as to why Cyno was asking where his own wife was.
"Many thanks." Cyno walked off without answering Tighnari's question as Paimon and The Traveller followed.
They has arrived in the desert and 2 figures could be seen digging up in the sand.
"Paimon has had enough floating for one day, Paimon refuses to go anywhere!!" Paimon folded her arms standing her ground(or air??) before seeing Cyno and The Traveller walking off towards the people infront of them.
"Wait for Paimon!!!"
"Y/N, Collei." Cyno spoke out causing you to turn your head and smile warmly, waving. You stood up from your crouched position.
"Mr Cyno! And The Traveller and Paimon!!" Collei shot up as you told her to calm down so she didn't hurt herself.
"Hi Cyno, what brings you here? Or are you here for a usual stroll? And who are these individuals?" You walk up and give him a tight hug that he reciprocates.
"This is The Traveller and Paimon. This is Y/N guys." Cyno effortlessly introduced you.
"Why, I have heard loads about you from everyone! My dear Collei was just talking about you!!" you smile warmly whilst patting Collei's head.
"It's nice to meet you Y/N!! And nice to see you Collei!! Cyno why did you want to introduce us?" Paimon asked trying to sound polite.
You laughed as you answered the question for him, "You see, I am Cyno's wife."
"WHAT!!!??? CYNO WHY DIDNT YOU SAY IN THE WAY HERE? PAIMON WOULDN'T COMPLAIN AS MUCH!!" Paimon shouted a bit too loud and Cyno just shrugged.
"Didn't cross my mind." all you could do was laugh at Cyno's usual antics.
"This is shocking...but at least Paimon doesn't have to be a victim to your horrible jokes..."
☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•~•☆☆•
a/n: GUYS THANK YOU FOR BEING GREAT SUPPORTERS AND I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOYED READING THIS!! DONT FORGET THAT YOU CAN REQUEST ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE! LOVE YOUUUUU!!! 💜🔮💜🔮💜🔮

Imagine the 3.8 Secret Summer Paradise event but with Wanderer and you. Nahida sends Wanderer to investigate something in the desert and you tag along for fun but you two get sucked into a magic bottle somehow?! Klee dubs his title as the “Sorcerer” - her mage sidekick - and yours as the “Soldier” - her protecter! (Or whatever you want, I’m bad at this.)
The rollercoasters are nothing compared to Wanderer’s flights of fright. He will do loops, twists, turns, upside downs in the air all while holding YOU… at least in the rollercoaster there are seats. Klee is amazed by your endurance and wants to try flying too! (Wanderer reluctantly gives her a piggy back ride and flies a safe distance up from the ground… Kaeya’s watching him very carefully, but you vehemently reassure him that Wanderer would never hurt a child. The cavalry captain actually grows to like him!) Though you manage to convince Wanderer to ride a slow rollercoaster with you. There’s no one else in the Choo-Choo Cart, and it’s late at night. Wanderer lays on your lap as you play with his hair, the both of you silent as you stare out the window, taking in the lovely sights of this realm.
Idyia’s quite scared of Wanderer at first but overtime she comes to fawn over and admire how deep your love is, she’s met many people in her little bottle, but no one has ever had a relationship like yours! Not to mention, Zosimos takes inspiration from the two of you for his characters. And speaking of plays, I think despite the fact the one the group acted out had poor plot, Wanderer finds joy in it, because I believe he likes the arts/dance/performances, and also he found Klee’s acting endearing. (When Kaeya runs out of stories for her, Wanderer takes over and tells her Inazuman folktales!)
Collei is extremely nervous speaking to Wanderer, but finds herself liking him more than she expected. She feels like she can… relate to him, for some strange reason? She doesn’t really understand, since she’s never met him before, but she doesn’t question it. Plus, she knows you’re a really nice person, so you wouldn’t date someone who’s mean, anyway. Eula is suspicious of him at first too, but seeing Collei warm up to him makes her tolerate him, while Kokomi finds the stranger very interesting. She has a few chats with Wanderer, and the things he says about Inazuma has her only more curious. The most important part is, Klee wants to be the flower girl at your wedding, whenever that happens.
Moving on, Wanderer has a soft spot for the Hydro Eidolons because they remind him a bit of the Aranara. He acts all annoyed when they want to play hide and seek with him but secretly he enjoys it (and you’re enjoying his fervent denial at being soft.) You two play all of the games together, although Wanderer is less enthusiastic about it than you (as usual of course) but he actually enjoys Bing-Bang Finchball! :3 (He wonders if his creator and that kitsune would like it, too.) Most of all, Wanderer especially enjoys the solitude he gets at certain places of the realm. Sometimes you’re with him, sometimes you’re not, but when you are, during these moments he’s oddly quiet and clingy. Sometimes he still struggles to accept his life and what he’s been through. But making memories like these with you make him happy.
At the end of your stay, when you have to bury a treasure to leave behind, you put in two dolls of Wanderer and you that you quickly made in the mirage! (Wanderer had taught you how to make them that nicely.) You didn’t show your lover at first, a bit embarrassed and scared of his reaction, but he found out anyway and sighed, but pulled down his hat to cover his blush. He flew you to a beautiful spot with the best view, and you two buried it together. You wonder if it would still be there if you ever visited again.
Even after many years pass, Idyia never fails to tell the engrossing tale of the grouchy puppet and his darling lover, an unlikely but loving couple. Maybe if you’re lucky, you could meet them spending their days strolling the streets of Sumeru with the young Archon.
Overall, an unplanned but very necessary vacation that Wanderer needed. Nahida had a blast listening to all of your stories! (And happy he has made some more friends, which he of course denies that accusation.)

dad!pantalone ii.
summary. the eighth and ninth both adore [name].
trigger & content warnings. slight angst (but only if you squint), fire & accidentally lighting a harbinger on fire. no-one gets seriously hurt though.
tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. fluff, slight angst. pantalons & child!reader, la signora & child!reader. 0.7k words. they/them pronouns used for reader. < previous | next >
author's thoughts. i sort of implied where in genshin's timeline we are in this post; collei is implied to be present as one of dottore's subjects and is suggested to be around [name]'s age!! so yk, several years before the traveler appears in mond.
Tumblr media
without a doubt, pantalone absolutely adores his child. for them, he would tear down teyvat in its entirety.
he's completely enamored with them. he's always spoiling them; his love language is gift-giving, after all, especially in their case. he has the mora to spare. what else would he use it on? funding dottore's experiments? pfft, please. he'd rather spend it on his lovely child!! it's his money, he can do what he wants as long as it doesn't noticeably affect the fatui's funding. additionally, he finds himself cherishing physical touch just as much as he does gift-giving—the fatui agents in his division claim that he's generally less irritable if he has his child in his arms while he's working.
of course, pantalone can't always have them around. he doesn't want them to be too deeply involved in his fatui work... not yet, anyway. it'll be a different story when they're a little older. personally, he thinks they'd make a very impressive fatui debt collector one day; everyone's already terrified of upsetting them. if they became a debt collector, such fear would increase tenfold. they'll end up joining the fatui one day regardless, so why not as a debt collector?
for the most part, he doesn't trust anyone to watch them, not even his own business partner. what fool would trust il dottore with a child? not pantalone, that's for certain, especially since this particular child is his heir, his flesh and blood. the regrator knows about what the doctor is doing to that little girl with eleazar. archons forbid that kind of treatment was directed at his gem. dottore and all of his segments know damn well not to bring any kind of harm to them, but still. the ninth would rather not leave them with the second unless it was absolutely necessary.
he settles on enlisting the help of la signora.
as arrogant and cunning she is—what harbinger isn't, really?—the regrator knows very well how fond she is of his child. he's not blind to her blatant affections towards them.
(little did he know, sometimes she wonders if this is the child she never got to raise with her lover gifted to her by the heavens above. signora knows better, but the thought is comforting. she even shared her name with them. such a sweet little one shouldn't be calling her a name like la signora.
the first time they called her 'mother rosalyne,' she may or may not have shed a few tears, knowing very well that their mother seemed to have disappeared off the face of teyvat after leaving their newborn self with pantalone. 'they don't have a mother,' she thought to herself one day, 'so I will gladly take up that role. no harm shall come to them for as long as I live.')
he has little issue leaving them alone with her, as they also seem quite fond of the woman.
one day, she suggests teaching them to harness pyro based on the old art she learned at the akademiya. no need for a vision, she insisted—all they need is patience. she expected him to reject the idea, but to her surprise and delight, he gave her permission to do so as long as she doesn't forget that they will be making public appearances in noble society soon enough. as such, they do need to have some restraint. she gladly agrees to his terms.
signora quickly discovers that they are a very fast learner. they take her lessons very well. what a smart little one they are! she thinks it's very funny when they accidentally light the balladeer's coat on fire. he was not happy. the fair lady, however, found it absolutely fucking hysterical. she praised them in secret for it!
"you are very, very important," she had said, "there are very few people on teyvat that could hurt you and get away with it. the balladeer is not one of those people, so by all means, light him on fire again, my little flame <3"
she is creating a firey (literally and metaphorically...) little noble. pantalone doesn't really mind.
they are very important, indeed, and if la signora is encouraging that ideology, then he doesn't care whose coats he will need to replace.
please consider reblogging, it helps me out quite a lot!

Let The Wind Guide Us [Venti x (f)Pregnant Reader
A/N: A little bit of angst, not too much. I loved this plot too much to not write this. Let me know what you think and if I should do more next. Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy it. Also C/n stands for child’s name. Also this isn’t proofread yet I’ll do it later today or tomorrow.
Word Count: 1.09k
Pairing: Venti x Fem!PregnantReader
Warnings: Drinking I guess
Tumblr media
  “Venti, we’ve talked about this already. You can’t keep coming home at two in the morning because you want to drink all night.” You said to a drunk Venti. “Ehe~” Was the only response you received. Getting even more frustrated with Venti, you snapped. “You know what, I’m done with this! I’m done with you Venti!” You yelled, and left your shared apartment.
1st POV 
     I knocked on Rosaria’s door, hoping she would answer. Luckily she opened the door. “Y/n, what are you doing here at this time?” Asked a sleepy eyed Rosaria. “Well I ended things with Venti, and I was wondering if I could stay here for a bit.” I stated bluntly. “I guess, come in and we can talk about what happened between you and Lord Barsibato.” Rosaria said, being the only one knowing that secret besides the traveler. “It’s Barbatos.” I said, laughing as I went into Rosaria’s house.
     “Do you want any wine?” Rosaria asked. “NO!” I yelled. “Sorry, that's why I left Venti. Plus it wouldn’t be good for the baby.” I said. Rosaria’s eyes widened and she almost spit out her drink. “BABY?!” She asked, still shocked from the news. “Oh yeah, that…haha…” I said nervously. “Does Venti know?” She asked. “We had a dinner date planned for tonight, I was going to tell him then. He didn’t come as usual.” I said. “Oh, so he was drinking again.” Rosaria said. “Yes! I wish for once that he would take things seriously! Especially my concerns for him!” I said, getting frustrated. “Well it’s alright Y/n. You can stay at my place for as long as you need to.” Rosaria said.
     “Thank you Rosaria.” I replied. “Although, it probably won’t be long before he finds out that you’re pregnant.” Rosaria said, stating a good point. I sighed. “I know, I plan to move to Sumeru so that he doesn’t find out. Plus I have a good friend who lives there.” I said.
*Two weeks pass and I wave goodbye to Rosaria as I head off to Sumeru.*
[TIME SKIP-6 YEARS LATER]
     “I can’t believe this little girl is almost six!” Collei said. “I know, she’s gotten so big!” I said, smiling. “Mommy, where are we going?” C/n asked. “We’re going to the Windblume Festival in Mondstadt. Auntie Rosaria invited us to come.” I told her. “6 years later and you’re finally going back?” Collei asked. “Yes, I miss my home, plus the festival is a great way to have fun.” I said. “Well since I’m going too, we’ll have extra fun!” Collei said. “Yay Collei!” C/n said excitedly.
*Y/n, Collei, and C/n go to Rosaria’s house in Mondstadt.*
     Once we met Rosaria at her house, I let Collei take C/n out to play for a bit until we met up with them later. “C/n sure has grown a lot.” Rosaria stated. “Haha yeah.” I replied. “She looks a lot like Venti too.” She said “I know, she has his personality too.” I said as I sighed. Rosaria laughed. “Let’s go meet up with Collei and C/n before they cause any trouble together.” I said, as me and Rosaria left to find Collei and C/n.
……………
     Once we met with Collei and C/n, I took c/n to play with the small group of kids near the Barbatos statue. I sat on a small bench as I watched C/n play with the other children.
     A few minutes later C/n ran up to me and grabbed my hand. “Mommy! Mommy! Come look at this man singing! He’s so good! He likes music just like daddy!” C/n said. By the time she had finished talking, we were standing in front of him. My eyes widen as I realize who it is. It was Venti. “Y-Y/n, is that really you.” He asked. “Yes.” I replied, mentally face palming myself for answering him.
     “Who’s this?” He asks, pointing to C/n. “Oh, this is C/n.” I said. “Mhm! My birthday is tomorrow! I’m turning six!” C/n said. “That’s right, you’re so smart.” I said, as I laughed at C/n. “Six years old…?” Venti said, confused. My eyes widen as I realize what C/n just said. “But that would mean…” Venti continues as he looks at me with slightly teary eyes. 
     “Y/n… Is C/n my daughter…?” Venti asks. “Yes.” I say as I bite my lip, waiting for a response. “W-why didn’t you tell me?” He asked. “Well I was going to, but you never showed up for our date that night.” I replied. “I’m sorry Y/n. I truly am. I hope you can forgive me for my foolish decisions. I would like to be a part of C/n’s life.” Venti said. “What about your drinking problem?” I asked.
     “Oh, hello Y/n, Venti. It’s been quite some time since I’ve last seen you both. I’m surprised I haven’t seen you at the tavern in a few years Venti.” Kaeya said as he passed by. “What…?” I asked. “Yeah, after you left I stopped drinking. I realized that I made a stupid decision. I put wine before you, and I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry for everything Y/n. I really do hope that you can forgive me.” He said. “I do forgive you, but this doesn’t mean things can just go back to the way they used to be.” I said. “Yeah, we have a kid this time.” He said as he laughed. I rolled my eyes.
     A few seconds later, I called C/n over. “C/n, this is your dad.” I said. She smiled and her face lit up. “Yay! I finally got to meet daddy!” C/n said. Venti smiled. “I like the sound of that.” He said. “Mommy and Daddy should get married!” C/n said. “Woah there, slow down a little bit.” I said. “Ehe~” C/n laughed. Me and Venti both laughed with C/n.
     Rosaria and Collei watched from a distance. “Are you crying…?” Rosaria asked Collei. “It’s just so sweet.” Collei said, wiping her tears. They both smiled. “So I take it that we’re not telling them that we set this up?” Rosaria asked. “No, but C/n is really the one to thank. Without her being as smart as she is and following directions, this wouldn’t have worked.” Collei stated. “Yeah, that’s right.” Rosaria said. They both laughed.
*A few months later Venti proposed, I said yes and we got married at the Cathedral.*

Story Quest drama
Does anyone else find it incredibly weird how many Genshin fans are upset with Paimon and Traveler after Furina’s quest? Like the way people are cherry picking certain parts of scenes and misrepresenting the situation is astounding. I’m not going to pretend Paimon and Traveler didn’t throw a couple jabs but for the majority of back of forth is just banter and the common bluntness they bring. In no way were they trying to gaslight or manipulate Furina.
Furina said she didn’t want to join on stage. Paimon asked if there were any exceptions, and Furina say she didn’t want to leave an out for herself. Hearing that, they immediately pivot the conversation to asking her if she knows anyone who could help. That is literally workshopping a problem 101 and constructive problem solving. I don’t get why people are painting that as pressuring. They heard her stance and seeked a solution that respected her decision and allowed them to continue trying to help their employer.
Furina punches down on herself by saying she didn’t know anyone because they were probably happy she was gone; to which one of the dialogue options boils down to “that’s not a good to assume” because it isn’t. Paimon’s next question was if she had any idea, which causes Furina to get agitated before immediately apologizing because once again, Paimon’s question wasn’t in any way trying to get Furina to buckle. The two of them are essentially checking of a mental list to see where they should go to try solve their commission. Paimon even clarifies this with her before they part ways and Paimon says “Oh well. We have to respect her decision”
Even when they get back to the guild, Paimon tells them for personal reasons, Furina can’t help; as well as clarifying the misconceptions the actress had about Furina being rude. In no way were the duo planning on circling back or involving Furina any further and only gets roped back in after getting caught spying. Furina herself admits she just started drawing lines in the sand without hearing the situation before trying to apologize, to which Paimon tells her everything is completely fine and nothing that just happened was taken personally. You could argue Furina didn’t have anything to apologize for and that’s fine, but even in game, nobody was expecting one and told her everything is fine.
Tiny rant but it’s a bit annoying how people are quick to clip certain dialogue to paint them negatively, while completely ignoring the parts Paimon and the Traveler actively tell Furina she shouldn’t be so hard on herself, it’s okay not to force things, and talking about how she’s finally free to live how she wants. But they want clip the part where Paimon said she first thought Furina was diva; a sane assumption to have after she tried immediately getting them arrested on a ridiculous charge for the sake of hyping the crowd. Was it a little rude? Yeah. Has Paimon never called it like she saw it? No. We’ve heard Kaveh’s backstory and both her and the traveler still went “You should really try and get your life together before something happens” because it’s the blunt yet honest truth. If isn’t Diluc, Klee, Xiao, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Dehya, or Collei, Paimon will find an issue. The others can do no wrong. 💀
Anyway, I just think it’s a bit ridiculous how some people acting. Especially when several weeks ago Furina and “girl failure” was always in the same sentence while people applauded Arlecchino for dragging someone when ultimately she also didn’t know dick about the situation and basically did a gymnastics performance the way she jumped to certain conclusions. I love that people love Furina, but let’s not get crazy now when two people choose to approach her in a casual dynamic instead of super gently and emphatically. If anything, Furina is getting the normal human experience of having people that actually hate her in Poisson, the troupe idolizing her, Neuvillette and Navia being sweet, and the Traveler and Paimon being casual friends.
You know what’s actually insane!? Shenhe talking about her dead family and backstory then the scene ends with Paimon saying “cut the chitchat. We’re trying to win a contest.” THAT was actually out of pocket. 💀

Enough Bad Jokes
Genshin Impact - Cyno x Tighnari
Tumblr media
A/N: Okay, you may call this an obsession, but… Nvm, I’m obsessed with CynoNari. I was already fangirling with all the leaks and I couldn’t make myself wait for the official stuff to come out. So, here we are, the first (I think), CynoNari tickle fic!
Summary: After having Cyno interrupting his classes and annoying him with another set of lame jokes, Tighnari decides it’s time to teach the general a lesson or two.
Word count: 1437 words

“There you go.” Tighnari said calmly as he finished noting down a few instructions for his student before leaning back into his seat with a satisfied expression and lending the paper to Collei.
“Ah, thank you for your help, master Tighnari!” The girl said, gently picking up the paper sheet and starting reading it carefully, doing her best to understand the lesson. It was another of their lessons. Despite having a problem understanding something here and there, Collei knew she could lean on Tighnari’s knowledge to learn whatever she needed to.
Crossing his arms, the forest watcher observed his student in silence as he waited for any question she could come up with, ready to solve her doubts if there was one. However, Collei remained focused on her reading until the very end of Tighnari’s notes.
“I think I get it…” she muttered with a slight smile on her face.
Tighnari’s ears rose in awe, being caught off guard for a moment when the girl seemed to make it all the way through the end. “Oh, very well, Collei! Well, let’s see… how-”
“Do trees ask one another out? Do you know it, Collei?” A voice coming from the other side of the room interrupted Tighnari all of sudden. He turned around, finding Cyno, standing right on, with a remarkable smirk on his lips.
“O-oh, general, sir”, the girl said in a rush, shocked by the other’s sudden presence, “I didn’t expect to encounter you today-”
“Easy there… I’m here just to pay a visit, not anything formal, Collei,” he reassured her before taking a few steps forward and get closer from where the teacher and his student were, “Anyway… do you know the answer?” Cyno continued, his cool-looking smirk changing into a smug. Tighnari could already tell the twisted intention in his words.
“Collei, you don’t-”
“Hmm… I don’t know, how do trees ask each other out?”
“Weeeell…” Cyno chuckled, looking to Tighnari with the corner of his eyes, spotting the already disappointed look on the man’s face. “They say… ‘wood’ you be mine?”
The silence that followed lasted nearly three seconds. Tighnari could only facepalm, lowering his ears in pure regret of letting such a scene unfold while he was in the middle of a lesson. Collei, however, giggled sweetly at the joke, lowering her head a little to cover her lips.
And Cyno, on the other end, laughed loudly, as if he hadn’t told the same joke for the 28th time in a row. “Do you get it, Tighnari, eh eh?” The general asked between chuckles, elbowing the other on his side. “I mean, ‘wood’ you be mine, got it? Hahah”
“I think this one was the worst so far…” Tighnari sighed audibly.
“I’m sohohorry, master Tighnari…” Collei muttered, trying to shut her laugh as soon as possible as she spotted the distress in her teacher’s face.
“It’s fine, Collei. I think… we can call it a day. We should pay attention to our… guest, right? It’s not everyday we have the presence of the great Cyno in the Avidya forest.”
“Oh, wait wait, you’ll love this one Collei”, Cyno exclaimed, making the girl look up to him. Tighnari had a bad feeling about it. “What do you call an electro vision bearer that uses a bow?” He asked again, biting his inner lip to hold back his giggles.
“W-what? Ahm…” The girl blinked, trying to come up with something.
“You don’t really have to answer him, it’s better to-” Her master warned, trying to stop it before it was too late. However, Cyno interrupted him, once again.
“A elec-throw user!”
“Archons…” Tighnari muttered in disbelief. Was he the same Cyno that the people from Sumeru feared and respected?
“Ohoh my, that one was awful…” Collei giggled awkwardly, shaking her head.”Aha… it was good to see you, general, but I should get going. I still have to revise master Tighnari’s lesson, so if you excuse me.”
“Alright, have your way. Let’s talk later,” he waved to her before looking back to the forest watcher gathering the paper sheets spread all over the table.
“Aw, you didn’t get mad at me, did you?” Cyno pouted, poking the back of one of Tighnari’s ears, making him slightly twitch his head away
“No, I didn’t, but you have interrupted my lessons one to many times, don’t you agree?” He replied, tilting his head to the side to look at him again.
“Oh, don’t be like that. You know, laughing a little is never something bad.”
“Only you laugh at these terrible jokes.”
“And are you to call my jokes terrible? I bet yours aren’t any better. I doubt you could make me laugh with one of them.”
“Is that it?” Tighnari said, placing the paper sheets aside before resting his head on his hand, coming up with a plan, “I’m sure I could make you cackle with a joke.”
“Oho? A challenge from the great Tighnari himself? Alright, let’s hear it.” Cyno replied confidently.
The watcher turned around, facing the general while pretending to think of something. Tighnari smiled slightly, preparing himself before he started. “Cyno.”
“Yes?”
“What happens when you tickle an egg?”
“Well,” the general said, taking a moment to think, closing his eyes as he wondered what could be the answer before realize it, “it crahAHA- WAHAIT!” He shrieked, being caught off guard by a pair of hands suddenly going for his hips.
“Correct, general, it cracks up,” Tighnari replied, going after Cyno was squirming like a fish out of the water in his seat, “just like you after hearing this joke.”
“I’m nohOHOhot- ahahah,” he tried to protest, weakly tugging at the watcher's wrists as he used his thumbs to massage the sensitive spot.
“Oh, really? If my joke wasn’t this funny, why are you laughing so much, Cyno?” Tighnari teased before starting to claw at the man’s lower sides.
As an actual jackal, Cyno howled as the ticklish feeling made laughter burst through his lips, throwing his head back in mirth as he weakly battled the watcher, losing it under the sound of his own giggles.
The gloves covering Tighnari’s hands didn’t seem to make the tickling any easier to the general, after all, he still have all that skin exposed to the other’s touch, almost as if welcoming it, maybe asking.
At some point, while trying to squirm away from his tormentor, Cyno got entangled on his own hood and fell from his chair. A height far from enough to cause him any harm, the general still wheezed as his body reached the floor, finally having a break.
“A-aha…o-okay, you g-gohot me there...  but I- huh?” He looked over his shoulder as he felt something close to him and finding, much to his horror, Tighnari readly straddling his waist, cracking his fingers.
“Huh, ‘got’? I think you’re mistaken, general… I’m not quite done, I still have to give you a lesson for disturbing my classes.”
“T-Tighnahari, l-lehets talk a-about this, yeah?” He giggled nervously, laying on his back to face the other properly and waving his hands in front of his chest, trying to appease the angry teacher.
“Sure thing, what do you have to say in your defense?” And before Cyno could even come up with an answer, the watcher resumed the tickling, gently pawing at his friend’s bare ribs, making his chuckle lightly.
If he was going to be honest, Cyno thought of an excuse to try to avoid another round of tickling, but when he felt Tighnari’s tail wagging over his legs, he knew he wasn’t the only one having fun with that.
“Ahahare- aren’t yohou e-enjohohoying yoursehelf a l-little too muhuhuch?” He tried to taunt, looking up to the man’s face and spotting a faint blush forming on his cheeks.
With no answer, silence soon filled the room as the two of them stared at each other. Tighnari sighed, tweaking at Cyno’s ribs and drawing a surprised squeak out of his lips. “Well, hush now, my cute hound. Enough bad jokes, let me give you something else to laugh about.”
The general pressed his arms against his torso, trying to protect himself as the watcher started tickling his ribs, going up towards his armpits inch by inch. “NoHOHO, w-wahAHAHit- ahaHAHA, plehEHEAse!! ~”
Cyno pleaded dramatically as Tighnari simply kept going. Stupid hound, how dared he to tease the Avidya Forest watcher? Well, maybe he could take this opportunity to teach him a lesson or two. A break from his lame jokes was always welcomed, Tighnari thought, especially if he could give the general another reason to laugh.

Tighnari x Reader ( not after this )
Cyno x Reader any gender!Reader -------------------------------------------------
                                                                     Cheater…
Tighnari was on another one of his “missions” as you liked to call them. You were almost always alone since either he was taking care of Collei, out on some mission, or just out in general. On one of the rare chances he was home, he didn’t talk to you much. It upset you deeply. So you decided to ask him if he could give you attention. He was sitting at his desk writing something. “Hey.. Tighnari.. Can I have cuddles or just your attention?” You asked a bit worried on his response being no, “in a minute, I need to finish writing this letter to someone.” You nodded and walked back to your room, he didn’t share a room with you. It was like you guys weren’t even together anymore. You started crying as soon as you closed your door and locked it. Crying on the floor, until you heard a knock at the front door. You quickly wiped your tears and unlocked your room to go to the front door to see who it was. You found some random girl there and Tighnari almost ran over, odd. “ Hey!” Tighnari sounded very happy. You slowly walked back to your room since you assumed that he would take care of it. You locked your door again and just broke down, why didn’t he talk to you like that? Why didn’t he run up to greet you anymore? It was perfect at the start of the relationship. 
He would always greet you when you got home, he would cook for you, he would love you. Not anymore. It’s been a year since you guys started dating. Your anniversary was yesterday, and he didn’t even remember nor did he care, you had spent the last few months with him ignoring you, and  almost hating you! But you loved him, and didn’t have the heart to break up with him, even Cyno thought it was messed up of him to ignore you. You and Cyno were close friends, he is the one who introduced you to Tighnari. 
You have done nothing to make Tighnari hate you. But he did something to make you hate him..
One day, after work, you came home early to surprise Tighnari, but boy did he have another surprise. You walked into his room to give him something, you had gotten him a rare plant he needed for a new medication he was trying to make, you saw him in bed with that same woman. You immediately ran out so he wouldn’t notice you were there, he was too busy to notice anyway. You ran to Cyno and told him what you saw, so he decided to confront Tighnari himself, he couldn’t just stand there and do nothing to help someone he cared for. Maybe even liked.. but he couldn’t let you know that since you were with Tighnari. But not for much longer he would have to hide those feelings. 
He stormed into the house with you closely following, “Tighnari. What. The. Hell.” 
He said loudly. “C-Cyno! Didn’t expect you to visit…” Tighnari said, knowing he had been caught in the act. “Who’s that babe?” The woman said. “Babe? Oh you cheating prick, you are lower than the lowest. You dare go behind (Name’s) back to cheat on them with some random woman?! You have some nerve.” Tighnari’s ears were almost glued to his sides as he got off the woman to try and cover himself and ‘explain’ himself. Cyno wasn’t having any of it. Cyno pointed his spear at Tighnari. “Explain why I shouldn’t end you right here right now as a punishment for cheating on (Name)” Tighnari deeply sighed, “fine, I was wrong to do that. I’m sorry.” You got mad at this and spoke up “SORRY. JUST SORRY? WE. ARE. DONE.” You yelled and threw the plant you got at him, he caught it and his heart sank. He has been talking about this plant for days, and you got it for him.. just to find him cheating.. he almost burst into tears. That woman had made a run for it a long time ago, and you stormed out along with Cyno. Tighnari wanted to run after you and try and make it up to you, but he knew it would make things worse. So he stayed in his room and felt nothing but guilt. Cyno was comforting you, for once in months you felt like someone cared about you. “I will always be here for you. That cheating prick didn’t deserve the love you gave him. He is no longer my brother, but now my enemy.” Cyno had said to you and you tried to smile but it was a weak one. “Thank you..” you cried into his chest and he held you and hugged you. ------------------------------------------------- <3<3<3<3 First writing so it might not be the best <3<3<3

So, about your found family head canon, I absolutely LOVE it and I wanted to give you my own take on it!!
I like to also include Candace, Razor, and Wanderer (I know that one might not make sense but hear me out lmao)
I think Cyno would Candace as a big sister! She gives off that vibe to everyone but I feel like she would be more close with Cyno considering they're both from. Or maybe they knew each other while Cyno lived in the desert. (We NEED more more Cyno lore *sob*)
As for Razor, I think during their visit to Mondstadt Razor would become intrigued with Cyno because of the ears on his helmet (hat?). Also....those two are suspiciously alike🤨 white hair, red eyes... (Cyno has lighter eyes but they're similar) I wouldn't be surprised if genshin pulled a long lost brother thing on us🧍 Anyway, I think they would become close, and Razor would look up to him a lot!! He would start to see Cyno as his "lupical" and I think Cyno would enjoy spending time with Razor, teaching him fighting tactics and so on
And Wanderer (or Scaramouche). I think his bratty mean persona would make him really...hard to be close to. But I think he and Collei would actually be somewhat "friends". I think the traveler would be talking about Collei to Wanderer and bring up her relationship with Dottore which would immediately peak his interest. And maybe he would go to see her to ask her about it, and then they would be able to bond over being victims of Dottore. I think he would gain the role of the "overprotective big brother" and glare at anyone who dare LOOK at her the wrong way. I'm not saying this relationship would be likely, it's just fun to think about!
I also think about how awkward it would be bringing up the time when Tighnari got struck by lightning....
"Master Tighnari actually got struck by lightning once! Now he has a scar on his back!"
"*Nervous sweating* Yeah......about that-"
I also hc that Kaveh and Tighnari are childhood friends!
Sorry I know I typed a lot😭
Have a nice day!
WAAAAH Cyno and Candace are so BESTIE CODED !!! Yes candace give a big sister vibe ! I love to imagine that Cyno likes visiting Candace, when he has time... And also I imagine he participate to girls party once, with Candace Dehya Nilou Dunyarzad and Setaria. Idk. I just feel like he wants to be included. Dehya and Setaria would be a bit against at first but Candace Nilou Dunyarzad thought the idea funny, so he joined. In the end, they all spend great time ! For Razor and Cyno, yes !!! I agree with your idea. I also enjoy a lot the potential friendship between Collei and Razor !! They are both studying language, they could study together. Since Razor has more difficulty about language, Collei would help him (and I am sure she will feel accomplishment,, like,,, she is helping someone!!! in studying!!)
Razor would definitively talk about Varka to Cyno ahahaha (i love varka plz when is he playable, at least i need to know how does he look like) And for Wanderer... I saw a lot of fanart of Collei and him, trashtalking about dottore. It would be super cool if Wanderer first friend (after his redemption arc, if we don't count Nahida nor Traveler) is Collei ! I have another scenario for them starting to talk Wanderer is just chilling in Avidya Forest (missing school). Then he heard a voice in a tree... like wtf. It was a girl voice, ranting about her life. He wouldn't care a lot but then he heard the mention of Dottore. The curiosity gain him. Trash talk about dottore ?? It is not often he can hear it. Bro is eardropping (bad thing to do) but Collei notice him (someone find her hidden place, she could die of embarrassment) but Wanderer couldn't help himself to trashtalk to dottore- and they keep talking But I wonder... if Scaramouche participate in those same experiment, and saw Collei ? He was about to end the conversation, feeling guilty, and never talk to Collei again, but Collei thank him for the talk. Maybe it wouldn't bad to see her again, one day ? OOOH YOUKNOW I AM SURE KAVEH AND TIGHNARI MET WHEN THEY WERE KID. I MEAN !!!! Their parents knows each other when they were young. Maybe they met, but they wasn't that close. After Kaveh asked some advice for his project, they started to talk more, and then their friendship come more naturally Have a nice day too!!!

Hi!! I absolutely adore your writing and I think your broken home au is the best thing in existence, I was hoping you could do something with tighnari and borrower collei because I love them so much, if not then no worries :>
Thank you so much! I love my kids. But I also adore the Sumeru cast so much, Sumeru was the first nation I got to experience from -.0 to -.8 so here ya go:
================================================
The sound of pen on paper filled the quiet of the evening, the usual noise of the Avidya Forest fading to soft chirping and the bubbling of Ghandarvaville’s Creek. Rustling paper, the scratch of nails on wood, an old habit from the Academiya.
His ear flicked in annoyance. 
“My hearing isn’t any worse than it was the last time you tried this.” He spoke softly, not even bothering to turn his gaze to where he knew his apprentice was standing like a Sumpter Beast in lamplights.
“Aww…” Now he turned, resting his head on his hand and fighting back the smile that wanted to cross his features. “Cyno said I would get you for sure this time!”
“Well, for one, Cyno walks barefoot.” Tighnari chuckled as the green-haired girl deflated immediately. “And for two, I’m a little more aware of your presence than I am of Cyno’s.”
That caught her attention. “Huh?” She tilted her head. “But why?”
“Well,” He gently reached out and waited for her to take the first step, as always. He remained completely stationary as she reached out and touched his gloved hand, relaxing only as she felt the pads on his fingers. It was one of his less noticeable features from his Valuka Shuna heritage, but to Collei it meant safety. She had explained that even in her nightmares, her brain couldn’t replicate the feeling of them, so as long as she could feel them, she knew she was safe.
“Well, what?” She said, looking up at him as she sat down in his hand.
Inwardly he was a little glad that she couldn’t see the fact his tail was swishing in content like a simple dog. “Well, because Cyno and I have known each other for many years now. I trust him with my life, and I trust him not to get into trouble less than 10 feet away from me.” The soft scold was met with a wince from the tiny girl.
“You’re still mad about the glider…” She grumbled. “I jus’ wanted to impress Amber when I saw her next.”
“Yes I’m still upset. Not mad, upset. You could have gotten very hurt.” Tighnari sighed. “But we’ve already had this discussion, no need to reiterate it now.”
“Cyno said the Windlume festival is coming up.” 
“I’m going to kill him.” Tighnari rolled his eyes. “That was supposed to be a secret.”
“I knew it was coming anyways, Amber sent me a letter about it, I’m getting better at reading, but her handwriting is still hard to read from up close…” Collie hummed. Tighnari blinked before relaxing, good, their surprise trip wasn’t ruined after all.

Dancing in the rain [part 1]
Ship: Collei x Freminet (Fremillei)
Modern Au
Word Count: 718 words (thanks Kulazu)
Songs I would recommend to listen to:
And this one:
Both songs work, but I mainly listened to "Would you be so kind", so I hope you will like this^^
(And I actually have a few ideas surrounding rain, which is why I called this the first part, when it's a completeted shortstory)
Anyway: Have fun^^
The rain was splashing against the windows and ran down from the rooftops, turning the streets into small streams. The clouds hung gray and wet over the city, crying their tears out with no sign of stopping. Many people were walking around with umbrellas, quickly trying to get home, out of the rain, back into the warmth of shops, restaurants or their homes.
Two teenagers just got out of the youth centre, a girl with green curly hair, bronze skin and purple eyes, gazed curiously into to the rain, while her companion, a pale skinned, freckled boy, blonde chinlength hair bound into a ponytail with a few wisps of hair framing his face and hiding the left eye, was more worried. He nervously looked around as they did not possess an umbrella like most people on the streets. They just had left from a DND session with other people their age and hadn’t paid attention to the weather at all.
”I’m sorry Collei”, the boy mumbled, “I should’ve brought an umbrella-”
”No, don’t apologize Freminet!”, Collei spoke firmly, then smiled softly, ”It’s only a little rain.”
Her smile turned mischievous and gave the stunned boy her totebag with the words “Would you be so kind?” as she was running into the rain. Laughing she raised her face towards the sky and in seconds all of her hair and clothes were wet from the rain. She extended her arms to the sides and turning around herself in a dance, to a melodie only she could hear. People watching her, must think she was crazy, because in this big and gray city, rain was feared, it was a danger and a factor people couldn’t go after their work or research. But they forgot how everything they did depend on the life-giving abilities of water, how water and earth and sky were the reasons they were still alive, the reason SHE was still alive. Living was beautiful and she was life herself in his eyes. She thrived like plants in a garden during rain after a long time of dry period. The blue eyes of the boy could only watch her and adore every part of her livelyness. If love was part of the nature of all living beings, he hadn’t lived before he met her. She raised her hands above her head, moving them carefullly around herself and her body just like Nilou had teached her. Her movement flowed like water inbetween the falling drops, they were strong like the trees in the forests like she couldn't be up until now. She did a small pirouette until she faced her lover once again with a wide smile. How could someone be as strong as her? He took a few steps into the rain, the cold water running down his neck making him froze inmid his movement, but his light was already by his side and took his hands swang them back and forth, making him join her little dance. A smile tucked on the corners of his mouth and he felt a warmth running through his stomach, making him forget all about the cold rain. He pulled her hand gentle up and let her swirl around herself. With every laugh his smile deepend and his feeling in his stomach grew and it reminded him of how much he loved her.
As she was life to him, he was the peace to her. She fought for so long, feeling safe was a rare feeling among people, but it was her constant state around him. How he held her and listened to her and read her feelings. Maybe she would’ve regretted going into the rain, if he didn’t join. She may be strong, but with him her strength was stable and no longer a question of how long it would take until her thoughts would destroy it. Their hands and fingers begann to firmly entangled with each other, neither of them wanting to let go, the purple of crystals meeting the blue from beryl conches.
They onced asked, if they would mind if they fell in love. They did at first, but with each other, it suddenly was a wish they both had, a question, they both had: Would he mind being around me? Would she mind my baggage? Would they mind holding hands? Would they mind, if they kissed? Would they mind being in love with each other?
Softly their lips meet as the rain became softer and the clouds opened up for the sunbeams. Sun shone through the rain and made it seem like there was a rainbow over their heads.
Actually, they didn’t mind, no matter what weather was storming around them.

pq2 thoughts after finishing it!:
i think. it is a g. game. it is a persona game i will admit!
no but srs i think its good if youve never played a persona game which i assume is why its on 3ds only. it really does feel like discount persona with all of the last three cast thrown in? and some of the gameplay improvements (this game's gameplay aged better than fes and p2's LMAOO) i guess its a compromise to reach fans who've never actually played the main games cause they dont own a playstation console or something.
at the same time it makes no sense for "new fans" to play because you need at least some background knowledge of the prev characters and plot to care.
in my case i knew everything abt p3 and p5, only osmosis knowledge of the plot of p4 so i ended up using the p4 cast the least in my playthrough :( so theres that. not worth playing if u dont care abt the other casts imo
...so we agree the characters are the selling point here, its advertised as a mega crossover and whatever but. people complaining that theyre "watered down" to base traits or even traits they didnt have in the first place are Right LOL except for a scant few characters who get a lot of expansion. but for the most part none of them are themselves (like yusuke... 😔.... akihiko.... aki not as bad as yusuke but they have the same writing problem)
no one expects the characters to rly individually shine when theres so many ofc, the game even pokes fun at the "limited screen time" joke but like. what else is there to this? 🤔 well
character interactions! those were good. everyone expected detective princes meetup to be really great but i loved the other pairs like haru and mitsuru (heirs with distant dads...), and the PQ OC girl with futaba :] (introvert friends!!)(theyre like sucrose and collei in this year's windblume if you go there)
speaking of akechi though. yea he's part of the list of characters that surprisingly did not get butchered and in fact expanded upon in this game. aside from akechi it's P3 FeMC.
others i liked were P5 MC (his dialogue choices are SO out there), shinjiro aragaki, ken amada, yukiko amagi maybe yosuke hanamura and P4MC but their personalities just stayed the same instead of getting possible new insight?
i liked velvet room guys too theyre goated frfr! yes including marie. even i was surprised (probably cause akechi gets to poke fun at her and the twins hdjdhdhd)(cute)
i cant put P3 male MC anywhere cause i will always be biased towards him 😔🫰 (he was great btw)
but the crow character expansion in particular intrigued me and leads me to accept this game as canon like some ATLUS USA reps intended. akechi: stripped away of his obligations is a cunning, introspective and overall respectable young man and the game showcased all of his core traits well. he purposefully isolates himself from the main group and gets called out on it, consistently is the one that makes the most sense in discussions, gets various little moe moments... he honestly seems like he doesnt know what to make of all this forced bonding with strangers but he cant help to indulge anyway. 😭 he's vocal in discussions about their plans but a passive :) face in the background during fun moments until he's addressed or curious. the way he furthers the narrative along like they wouldnt get as far as they did without him i feel. but between all of that he was the main character to me.
the end scene where he seems regretful that he has to leave and go back to his revenge plot.... hurts. because for all intents and purposes we just saw akechi if he didnt have all that baggage and was just allowed to exist as himself. a smart guy with a whole life ahead of him. but he didnt choose that.
😔
oh god that emoji is huge but anyway. FeMC!! ^_^ the problems of toxic positivity being addressed in her arc was great. they really tried to give her as much love as possible without being too happy (persona games tend to make their characters suffer anyway to even things out) and it was great! her writing reminds me of kasumire's mental illness but with less romance tease pandering.
ah yes and the obligatory Persona side game OC... hikari and nagi. honestly wished they didnt exist as much as i liked hikari's thing 😔 it got old and outright cringe man im sorry like surely the devs could come up with something better than this?? way to not explain enlil and mess with the in-universe power scaling too LMAO. 2/10 is being generous!
anyway its a fairly short game in persona standards so i cant really say it's time wasted when i got so many character interaction crumbs..... i guess i lucked out by liking the characters that i do instead of ones that kinda got shafted in this. (except for aki but 😔 i just kinda accepted his blown out of proportions awkwardness outside of P3)
it's..... a 6/10 from me overall! music and velvet room attendants + nanako cameo DLC carried

The Master of Puppets, The Reunion of Friends, and The Altered Destiny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds of heavy panting echoed through the desolate cavern, with the occupants holding on to a nearby wall for support.
"Well, that was terrifying." Phillip said in a matter-of-fact tone, as he quickly brushed himself off and adjusted his clothes. "You two okay?"
"Huff... I haven't been this exhausted in a while!" Amber then nodded. "But, apart from that, I'm fine! How about you, Eula?"
"...I swear, if we get out of this alive, I will get my vengeance." from her tone and glare alone, Phillip knew not to make a comment; the Lawrence Clan are known for their photographic memory, after all.
"Lovely; now, apart from that nice greeting we had from our resident hellspawn, I noticed quite a few things about this place while we were running.
"You know, besides it being a shithole." he added, seeing Eula's unamused gaze.
"Well, go on; I want to know who to put on ice after all this."
"Eula!"
"Well, it's clear that someone has been using these tunnels for a bit now; maybe just under a few months. Not only that, but I sense multiple Elemental lifeforms around us; one that's incredibly pure, most probably the kid; one that's incredibly dark, maybe Collei and Hank, and--"
"Wait, hold on." Amber suddenly looked incredibly interested, her eyes looking oddly distant. "Did you say Collei?"
"Hm? Oh, you know her? Around your height, green hair, purple eyes, and a lot of snark?"
"Yeah... yeah, that's her!" she suddenly looked puzzled. "But, I thought she was in Sumeru?"
Chuckling in exhaustion, he gestured. "Come; I'll fill you two in as we walk."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, random question; let's say, for a moment, that I don't recall mentioning my little... problem. Would you be able to sense it, still?"
"Indeed; my eye is able to track, trace and analysis Elements. Yours is no exception."
Walking at the androids' side, Collei moved the bracelet-gauntlets, grumbling. "I admit I'm not the fashion type, but why are they so large? And--wait, how did you make these so fast?"
Hank glanced at her. "They were made that way to control larger amounts of energy, Archon Residue or Elements. As for its quick creation, I had it on my person for a while; I simply completed some last minute adjustments on it."
"How long is 'a while'?"
She shrugged. "Last I checked, one hundred and twenty-three days."
"I guessed..."
Continuing on, Collei gave herself a mental shrug. Might as well learn more about her unexpected companion, right?
"So, apart from your guns, what else do you use in combat?"
Hank pointed towards her waist, where thin capsules laid side-by-side.
"These: Micro Elemental Bombs, or MEBs for short. Once thrown, they explode upon either elemental reaction or a heat source. The latter, I don't worry about; as an android, I have no body heat."
"Hmm..." putting her arms out and... 'willing' it, dark tendrils surrounded Collei's arms. "Would this count as a heat source?"
"...No, it would not. Why do you ask?"
"Say if you need someone to give it an extra 'oomph'; if I cover myself, I'd be able to hold them, right?"
"...That is correct." Hank looked pleased, though she's not sure if that's a necessarily 'good' thing.
"Well, anyways... is there anyone else here besides us?"
Hank's eye flickered into life, and Hank then replied: "There is Phillip, Llizel's mortal vessel and an 'Amber' and 'Eula Lawrence' as well... Collei?" Hank turned to the frozen girl, who's eyes were wide.
Collei blinked, then muttered in shock, "Amber's here...?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that explains a few things.
Holding on to your staff to support to yourself, you peered down and spotted a group that you weren't surprised to see:
The Fatui. Because where danger and/or interesting things are, they're soon to follow.
And, sitting on a Ruin Guard, her bored eyes twiddling her thumbs, was the Fatui Harbinger Marionette, or just Sandrone.
"Progress." her voice was soft, but with the underlining venom in it, you immediately knew she wouldn't be fun to face in combat.
"I'm afraid that it has been slow, Lady Sandrone," a Skirmisher said, as he moved over to a device that sunk into the ground. "However, we've managed to detect a massive Elemental energy a few hundred feet below us, maybe even less; not only that, but it's artificial as well."
"Artificial? In what way." there wasn't even a flicker on her face, but her voice did hold curiousity.
"We are still attempting to ascertain it, but it seems to be divine in origin; additionally, another Elemental signature shows another entity, one that's ancient in age."
"I see. If you'll please, try and take another scan elsewhere; I shall deal with the affairs here."
The Fatuus nodded, and with a quick, "Yes, My Lady," he walked away. When he was gone Sandrone scanned the room.
"I assume this power I feel is the one of Our Divine Leader. Do I assume correctly?" there was no hostility in her voice, only a curiosity.
Seeing that you've already been found out, you decide to find yourself, and teleport some feet behind her. "You've got a good eye."
"...Hiding your physical form? ...I suppose that is fair; after all, God or not, one should always be careful." Sandrone reasoned, before turning to your exact location. "Still, a suggestion; perhaps you should consider hiding your Elemental energy as well?"
...Yeah, she's got you there. Revealing yourself, you gave a shrug. "I confess that my mind hasn't been the sharpest lately. I will take l your suggestion to heart, however."
The Marionette's eyebrows raised at your appearance, icy blue eyes betraying not the slightest thought behind them. "So, the God Who Formed Teyvat has returned. For what reason?"
You smiled, walking around and slowly twirling the Staff of Llizel. "Now, that's an interesting question. Honestly, I could tell you that I'm here on important business, when I'm actually just here to relax. I could tell you I have descended to save the world from an immediate crisis, when I'm actually just going to sit back and watch it happen.
"What I'm trying to say is: it's not what I think I'm here for, it's what you think I'm here for."
"...I see. Then, if I was to say you were here in order to help the world of Teyvat in ridding it of a potentially harmful being..."
"...Then, that shall be my reason." you nodded, your staff on the floor. "I never thought I'd find myself in the company of one of the Cryo Archon's Harbingers, to be frank, but it is nice not knowing all."
"Forgive my prying, but what do you mean, 'nice not knowing nothing', might I ask?"
"Personally, and don't tell this to anyone from Sumeru, but I believe that true knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing; knowing everything can be incredibly dull, all things considered, and mayhaps I simply enjoy surprises, but I quite enjoy adapting and overcoming obstacles."
"...Hm." Sandrone nodded at you, a smile gracing her lips. "In that case, it's a pleasure to work with you, Your Grace."
"Likewise, Lady Sandrone."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hm~hm~hm-hm~hm-hm-hm-hm."
"Please tell me you're not enjoying this."
"Oh, heavens no; although, when the going gets tough, denial is one's best friend."
Amber let out a small laugh at her friend and the strange yet respectful traveller's small bouts of talk. It helps to break the silence that normally befalls them. After a moment more of walking, Amber tried her hand at conversation, as Phillip paused to check the Elements around them.
"Say, Phillip, I've been wondering; do you have any hobbies?"
Eula looked at her, but Phillip chose to reply. "Hobbies? Hmm... well, to be perfectly honest, no; not in this life, anyhow."
"Eh? What do you mean, 'not in this life'?"
"That, my friend, is where it gets less logical and more 'please believe me' territory. Though, since you're curious, I'll try my best to explain it simply: firstly, tell me this: what is, to you, a soul?"
"A soul?" Amber put her hand to her chin, tapping it as her eyes closed. "Well... it's what a living being is, right? What makes them 'them'?"
"That's a good description, yes; furthermore, a soul can be, basically, recycled; when a person's physical body dies, and their conscious fades entirely, their soul gets 'cleaned', and is then passed on to the next new living being. What then happens then, if you please, if a soul isn't fully cleaned?
"In short, the memories of that life is passed on to the next being, more commonly known as reincarnation: as it currently stands, I am the sixth reincarnation, with this being my last."
"...Okay, let's say for a moment I believe you," Eula challenged, her eyebrow quirked. "How is it that you still possess all your memories without suffering any mental damage?"
"Ah, now that is something I was hoping you'd ask; simply put, I've categorised my memories, from life, into talents, into knowledge, into experiences, like a folder of sorts. It helps save my memory some trouble, and is highly effective as well!"
"That... actually sounds pretty cool!" admitted the crimson Outrider, and then pondered, "Well, if you have so many memories, could you answer one question of mine?"
"How much?" at Eula's glare, he put his hands up. "I'm joking. Still, if you will?"
"In Sumeru, I heard that people use knowledge as a resource. Well, I was thinking: what is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?"
"Hmm..." crossing his arm over on and placing his hand on his chin, Phillip closed his eyes and stood still for half a minute in silence, his lips moving slightly in whispered words. Finally, he opened them, and shrugged.
"Now, I can't give you a straight answer: I and my Incarnations may share the same Soul, but we share multiple different opinions and lives. Although, I do think that 'we' have an answer:
"Knowledge is, to us, a basic understanding of a subject, philosophy, hobby, sport, or any other type of individual existence. For example, I have a basic understanding, or Knowledge, of sewing. While nothing too noteworthy, I am still able to stitch my own clothing and, by extension, create my own as well.
"Wisdom, meanwhile, is akin to a Master's degree in a subject. You could say that you, Amber, have Wisdom in gliding and archery, whilst in my second reincarnation, as Philip Agro Isekai Tomo, I had Wisdom in playing the violin, guitar and piano. Knowledge and Wisdom are very closely related, but I suppose it matters on the individual's understanding of such things that change it from one to the other."
He then shrugged. "I'm not sure if I helped you in the end, or completely confused you."
Amber did look like she was trying to get her head around it, but after a moment, she gave a thumbs up. "Got it! ...I think!"
"I'm glad to hear tha--"
Not finishing his sentence, Phillip suddenly whipped around and unsheathed his blade in the same motion, pointing it behind him.
Nothing was there.
'...Curious. You felt that too, yes?"
'...'
'...Hm. It seems our connection was closed. I assume Istaroth had a role in this. Rather, the only person who could have a role in this...'
"Phillip?" Amber asked, standing next to him. "Are you okay?"
"...Aye, I've been better though. Shall we continue?"
Eula nodded. "Let's."
As they stepped onwards, they suddenly heard an inhumane roar.
"...Well, shit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hank blinked. "Well, that's not natural."
"What is it this time?" it wasn't that Collei was sick of Hank. No, far from it: she was just tired with her being incredibly cryptic at all times.
"It seems that Elemental Energy just tripled some couple of feet below us."
"...Isn't that near Amber?"
"Ye--"
Not even finishing her sentence, Collei dashed, panic on her face--
--Only to be stopped by Hank.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Collei screamed, but Hank paid her no mind.
"Preventing you from killing yourself."
"Preven--Hank, people might die! If we don't move, then--!"
"Which is why you'd need my help."
"...Huh?"
Hank held a MEB, tilting her head to it. "I suggest you get a running start."
Collei didn't need to be told twice, quickly moving backwards. Slowly breathing in and out, dark tendrils encased her body, before settling at her feet. She quickly took off, jumping as Hank through the bomb upwards...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...And, at that moment, the roof suddenly caved upon the monster, being put into a rocky coffin. And, from the dust, two shales emerged.
"Hello again, Master." Hank waved mildly.
Collei, meanwhile, coughed while waving the dust away.
Getting out of it, Collei was about to speak when her eyes widened.
Amber.
The two stared at the other in silence, none saying a word...
...Until Amber gingerly took a step forward. Then, Collei took a step herself.
The two then walked quickly, and embraced the other tightly.
"Collei... a-am I...? Are you...?" Amber whispered, golden eyes watery. Collei looked at her, her own purple eyes glistering.
"Hi, Amber. It's..."
Amber hugged her friend even tighter, putting her face into Collei's shoulder. "It's you... It's you...! Collei!"
"...Yeah, it's me. Amber." hugging back, the two remained embracing the other for what felt like an eternity with the other...
...Until a loud bang brought them back to reality.
Everyone turned, and found a graceful Sandrone and their god, with you on your back.
"...Heya, kid." Phillip awkwardly greeted.
"Hey, Phillip!" you smiled back.
...
After a moment you then replied, "Well, that hurt."
Sandrone quirked a smile. "Whatever happened to--?"
Her smile then vanished. Eula's Claymore was incredibly close to her face, with the Lawrence glaring at her. "You..."
"...Ah. That's rather rude of you."
"Wait wait wait!" you quickly stood up, standing in-between the two. "She's working with us!"
"That's a rather strong term. I prefer temporary partnership."
"...A Fatuus?" Collei whispered.
"Unfortunately, yes; you're currently in the presence of The Marionette, Sandrone, one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers."
"And that's meant to deter me?"
"Yes, heavily so, in fact--"
"Okay, look: Collei, you don't like the Fatui, fair enough; Phillip, you can be both a real help and a royal pain in my ass, stop being the latter and try being the former; and Eula, Sandrone? Try to not kill each other as I explain what the hell is happening to everyone."
And so, you did. After a moment, Amber sighed, laughing weakly. "Wow, guess you've been having a few adventures yourself huh, Collei?"
"Putting it lightly, yeah, heh..." Collei then looked at you. "What's the situation?"
"Well, it's something like this, but first; Phillip, does the name 'Hilaqiis' ring any bells?"
"Hilaqiis is here?" Phillip immediately looked on edge, his eyes growing wide.
"You know him?"
"Yeah... long ago, he was one of the Four Shades created by the God of Peace; The One True God, Llizel. Among them was Istaroth, Satanael, and Xenophillius. The latter being a unique case, as he was not created by Llizel, and was instead simply given a vessel for his soul."
"...That soul is yours, isn't it." your flat look didn't match the raised eyebrows of Sandrone, the confused expression of Collei, or even the unexpressive gaze of Hank.
"...Ouch. And here I was, ready to make a long speech about it... still, you're right. But, I'm not important. Who is, however, is why a certain someone has detached themselves from my soul, and Hilaqiis is general."
"How powerful is he?" Sandrone's question made Phillip let out another sigh.
"Bluntly, we're in for a long one."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The minutes that passed felt like seconds for you, and now, you find yourself in front of a large door.
"So, this Hilaqiis; what do you mean by a 'Shade'?" Eula queried, her hands on her Claymore.
"The Four Shades were the personal creations of Llizel; well, minus me, anyhow. They were the Goddess of Time, Istaroth, the Goddess of Wealth, Satanael, the God of Song, Xenophillius, and the God of Power, Hilaqiis."
"Power? In what sense?" Sandrone has stepped off of her Automaton, and had placed her hands together near her waist.
"In physical and mental sense. With that, I ask: do you really want to get involved in this?"
"...Phillip." Collei stood in front of him. "Do you doubt us?"
"No. But do you doubt yourself?"
Collei scoffed. "A little late for that. No, I don't. It's about high time I start working for myself, this... thing inside me be damned. Phillip, Hank, Amber, Eula, and even you, Harbinger. Let's, if only for this, work together."
"Whatever happened to 'Not forgiving the Fatui, might I ask?" Hank blinked.
"Hey, I'm able to grow. Besides, it's not this Marionette I hate: it's that fucking Doctor that I want to murder."
"You certainly aren't the first." Sandrone muttered. "Well, shall we?"
"Yes," you agreed, and opened the door. "Let's finish this long quest."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the other side, you saw Hilaqiis, and your first impression was desperation.
He was leaning on a throne made of stone, and on it, was a broken puppet that looked like you.
He didn't notice you all enter, he just continued crying.
"Hilaqiis." Phillip said, and the other god jumped, looking at him.
"Xenophillius...? But how, aren't you--?"
"My death was greatly exaggerated. I've been hanging around for a while, even after Celestia wiped Khaenri'ah of the face of Teyvat. Not only that, but some time ago, I felt Celestia use its influence to nearly kill our dear Llizel. Now, how could that happen?"
"..." Hilaqiis twisted his hand. "Forgive me."
You felt like you were floating, flying past red, blue, green, and finally, purple.
Landing on your feet, you heard two other feets of feet hit the ground. Looking over, it was Eula and Sandrone.
And, in front of you, was that thing from before, its form monstrous in size, letting out a roar of fury. It through its fist out at you, and you readied a shield--
--When it howled, retrieving its arm, as Sandrone tsked, a Geo Construct piercing its hand.
"No point standing around doing nothing!" Sandrone called, her hands now at her side.
"The one time I might agree with you, wretched woman..."
"Here it comes!" you yelled, its hand slamming down on the concrete, it tumbling into a void below, and you quickly got onto it.
"Keep it pinned down! I'll try and get to it!" the two nodded, and Geo and Cryo glowed behind you.
Meanwhile, like a blade of wind, Phillip ran up the monster's arms, its many others trying to crush him but failing to. As he approached the glowing core of it, a hand attempted to crush him, just as a black and purple snake launched itself at it, biting and tearing it off, dark blood spraying from it.
"Go!" he heard Collei scream. "Me and Hank will take care of the others!"
Running, he reached it, grabbing his greatsword...
Erstwhile, Hank was shooting down the arms while Collei used her Residue to combat them. The bracers certainly did its job; it didn't hurt her at all.
"Motherfucker saw the old man and ran. What, does he and Phillip have a bad track record?" Collei asked, using the her power to create twin snakes that divided and conquered a number of smaller and thinner arms.
"I'm afraid to say Master never told me; I was created 500 years ago, long after his time as a God."
"...Llizel above." the green-haired girl cursed, glaring at the monster. "Alright you piece of shit, let's see how smug you are after I send my snakes down your throat AND PULL OUR YOUR FUCKING HEART!"
"Vengeance will be mine!"
"Let it rain!"
Despite the heat of the flames and the chill of the frost, the arms persisted, and the monster only grew in anger.
"Shit, shit, shit!" you cursed. Damnit, that monster was starting to really piss you off... you needed help, but...
'Llizel.'
Time stopped. Not even the snowflakes or the embers moved, or even Phillip, who was mid-jump backwards, his face just about to turn into an annoyed frown.
"My, Hilaqiis certainly made a mess." came a voice, your voice, as they stood at your side. "I'm honesty quite surprised you needed my help."
Llizel, The God of Peace, looked like you, stood like you, sounded like you, but wasn't you; their left eye was a crystalline blue, shinning without any hatred or negative thoughts, while their right was a molten gold, that reflected their pride, their joy, their peace.
"I'd rather not risk it." you reply, holding your left hand. On it, was nothing. On Llizel's, a small wing tattoo. (To each their own, as they say.)
"Ah, playing it safe, hm? I can respect that."
"Aren't we the same?"
"We are. And, we are not. You may be me, but I am not you." Llizel's eyes never left yours, and they put their hand out. "Well, shall we?"
You passed them their staff. "Go stop this chaos, 'Zel."
"With pleasure, 'Me'."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A flash of gold light, a ripple of green, and a flurry of white surged all at once.
The golden light was Llizel descending, and using their staff to hold the beast in place while also allowing their mortal form to appear in the real world, and attempt to stop Hilaqiis.
The green was from Collei. She may not have faith in the gods, despite being friends with the God of Teyvat themselves, and yet her ambition was shown clear to them: 'Protect and Grow'.
At that moment, either through sheer irony or a true show of will, a glowing green or appeared in Collei's hands, and vines with the sharpest thorns sprung forth, clearing a way for the white light. In addition, the bandages had all but been destroyed, showing hardened scales on her body, and sheer determination in her indigo eyes.
The white light was formed alongside other lights; Amber, firing a barrage of arrows; Eula, unleashing a large slash to the beast; Sandrone, using her mechanical guardian to shoot missiles at it; and Hank, who joined Phillip, and the two ran up the monster's body towards the sickly green core on its head.
Hank grabbed Phillip and, using her strength, threw him upwards. "Now!"
"STOP HIDING, COWARD!" the immortal roared, and as his blade cleaved the core in two, a light engulfed all of them...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Golden chains rapped around Hilaqiis, just as a light appeared and your friends stepped out.
"Just remember," Llizel whispered, standing by you, "It's our staff."
"Alright, let's start off simple," Phillip slowly made his way over to Hilaqiis, as his violet-turning-indigo meeting the God of Power's crimson. "Why do you insist on trying to kill not only us, but a Shade of Llizel and their mortal self?"
"...We have gone a long, long time without seeing our God, Xenophillius. Don't you think it's high time we--?"
BANG!
Everyone, especially Collei, jumped as Hank fired a bullet straight into his head, crimson blood exploding outwards.
"A fake." Hank simply stated.
"Yeah, I gathered; Hilaqiis wasn't the brightest, even next to Satanael, but even still... I guess that means our friends upstairs did all this."
"So that Elemental signature was a fake?" Sandrone was, once again, sat upon the hand of a Ruin Guard. Where it came from, you don't know.
"Yes and no; no, because it was a genuine one, but yes, as it was simply a copy of Hilaqiis', made by the ones up there."
"...Sorry, up where?" Eula had placed her Claymore back into the... place the characters put their weapons.
It was Collei who answered, oddly enough. "He means Celestia. Speaking of them," she put out her palm, which in it held a Dendro Vision, glowing brightly. "Thanks a lot, dickheads!"
"Wait, you have a Vision?" Amber smiled, putting her thumbs up. "Isn't that good? You have the power to protect yourself!"
"I had enough with this, thanks." at 'this', she had put her arms up, showing the bracers and the scales surrounding them.
"Ah, that..." Llizel muttered, then looked at you. "That staff may be from here, but don't forget the spells and powers you yourself gained."
You looked at them confused, before it suddenly clicked. "Wait, Collei, keep your arms up."
"Why? Want to admire them or something?" she dryly remarked, but then looked more confused as you placed the Staff of Llizel in front of them.
Slowly, a light began to accumulate near its tip, which then flowed down onto Collei's arms, which glowed a radiant silver before fading.
"There," you said, smiling at her. "That should hopefully prevent it from spreading."
"...You cured me?" Collei whispered, eyes wide in wonderment at how easy it was, and denial, as was it really that easy?
"No, they simply paused it; you may still experience symptoms similar to arthritis, but it is better than permanent paralysis, yes?"
"A~nd there goes the happy moment." Phillip groaned, making a noise between a sigh and a laugh. "Remind me to teach you how to read emotions better, ay?"
Hank just smiled, ignoring her master.
Amber also smiled, but more in exasperation. "Even still... what now?"
"Well, I can warp you two back to Mondstadt easily. Sandrone probably has their own way back, although I ask of her one favour before she does so, and it's to give this letter to someone only they can reach," he paused, giving a sealed letter to Sandrone, who nodded, before the Ruin Guard made its way out of the door.
"Next, I might go and figure some stuff out, like the whole thing with Chiyo--yes, Makoto is able to speak again, I assume it was because of interference she could not communicate with me--, the kid will probably want to explore Teyvat, the curious little shite they are, and..."
"If I may, Master," Hank gestured to Collei. "Perhaps we should allow Collei to travel with the God of Peace's mortal form? That way, she might be able to return to Sumeru while also being able to visit Amber."
"...Hm. What says you two?"
"Can I get rid of this?" Collei asked, about the Vision.
"Nope, but take it from me; any power is better than none at all; besides, being able to use it against the people who gave you it? I say that's a good thing."
"...Fine, I'll think about it."
"No complaints here!" you smiled.
"Well, no arguments?" hearing none, Phillip smiled a genuine smile. "Then, let us be off."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well, who knows?" Phillip said, smiling at you. "More tales might arise. There's still Loux's to finish, so for now: thank you for reading this little adventure, no matter how tedious or odd it might have been. Until next time, let the earth whisper its secrets, and for you to grow. Hm? Grow into what? Well... that's up to you. It's your life, after all!"

I've thought too long and hard about it. Tighnari and Albedo ik i said Diluc but THEIR DYNAMIC 🙁
Imagine they meet on a research team (modernly speaking) and they're paired up and they start talking and get to know eachother sm better and decide to stay in contact
Science nerd duo >
Tighnari asking Albedo for help with his plant creations cause Albedo can help. And Albedo asking Tighnari to help research Dendro reactions and he brings Collei to meet Klee 🙁🙁🙁
Albedo working his damn ass off to find at least a medication for Collei to feel better and for it to slow down a considerable rate.
ALBEDO TELLING KLEE TO BE CAREFUL WITH COLLEI SO SHE DOESNT GET HURT 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
Tighnari bundling Collei up in like 30 snow coats because he doesnt want her feeling stiff (shes stiff anyways cause he put 50 scarfs on her).
Tighnari would be so helpful in Dragonspine too since he has really good hearing he would be able to hear an avalanche and hear if Fatui are coming or if monsters are ahead.
Collei and Klee going to Starsnatch Cliff or playing in Diluc's winery (them drinking grape juice and having a sleepover🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁)
Tighnari and Albedo staying up super late and passing out and Collei and Klee making them breakfast. Burnt, unseasoned, and probably on fire but at least the coffee's good.
I HUST LOVE THE POTENTIAL PLATONIC FANILY THEY HAVE GOING ON 🙁🙁🙁🙁 LIKE KLEE CALLING TIGHNARI BIG BROTHER AND ALBEDO GETTING JEALOUS AND COLLEI HAVING TO CHEER HIM UUUPPPP IM GONNA CRY
-🪶(Sobbing)
FISCHL BRAINROT TIME-
very sorry it took me so long, but i forgot to finish this and post it adfbsdsf ANYWAYS more brainrot under the cut as always
science nerd duo <3 generally, nerd duo <33
random thought, but imagine them meeting as kids, or like,,, young teenagers- or just, tighnari meeting a younger, naive albedo who is still with his master and tighnari teaches him more about the plants in teyvat, while albedo rambles about alchemy-
anywhore, yes, tighnari never asks for help, not a single person besides albedo. because tighnari knows that albedo WILL be able to help him, he knows that albedo will always find a solution. with others... he's not that sure. tighnari just trusts albedo and albedo trusts tighnari too <33
also, collei and klee would have such a beautiful friendship because i said so. klee wants to go fish blasting again and nothing will stop her but- collei thinks fish blasting will hurt not only the fish but also other animals and the nature so klee will never do it again
(jean would like to know what sorcery collei used)
klee is now the bestest friend of collei and will take super duper care of her, since she's a knight. and she will also protect collei from her super mean sickness. and to cheer her up, she will never go fish blasting again because that makes collei sad.
yes.
and while collei and klee run around in mondstadt (because amber is busy as outrider and klee wants to show her new friend around in her home (she will show collei the best places which also include the big kitchen in the giant house of master diluc (where they're getting spoiled by the maids and eating cookies)), albedo and tighnari work on a medication for collei, together with the help of barbara (since she's a healer) and sucrose. they're close to something that can slow the sickness down, but didn't find a true cure yet.
but albedo promises to find it for collei and collei believes him (she thinks that besides tighnari, albedo is probably the smartest person she knows, even tho she knows many people from the akademiya)
ALSO, diona meeting collei and them bonding together with amber as bow girls yes please! they also steal venti away and go with him on an adventure, trying to find chests and the animals and plants you can normally find in mondstadt. they also meet razor, bennett and fischl and it's just this random, big ass group walking around in mondstadt, scaring the fatui and monsters away. venti is the responsible adult (for once) and actually stays sober because these children are very chaotic.
and at the end of the day, he takes them back to dragonspine where abledo and tighnari are already waiting for them.
also, collei meeting lisa again and getting adopted by her and jean (she is now known as the daughter of the true love pair in mondstadt (we believe in a power lesbian couple)) and tighnari running from dragonspine because his big brother sense were tingling. he will and can fight lisa and will win. (and if he's close loosing he just calls his friends from sumeru who love collei with all their heart) collei is a sumeru child, not a mondstadt child and she won't get stolen away.
collei just runs in the chaos and spends her day with amber <3
ALSO- the little family with albedo, klee, tighnari and klee is just aisdfasjdbf CUTE. (this is also me rooting for dense boys because i believe that albedo has a crush on tighnari and doesn't know what to do with this and actually thinks he's sick) while tighnari tries not to die every time albedo smiles-
yes, klee and collei and their nerd dads who are crushing on each other but will probably never end up together because they're dense af
OKAY BUT NOW- now i want cyno randomly showing up because he's crushing on tighnari too and wants his fox boi back in sumeru so he can (secretly) court him and stake his claim (because WHY is tighnari so dense???) but then hears how tighnari and albedo practically live together in dragonspine with their kids and cyno is like: "NO, NO THIS IS A NIGHTMARE-" and then runs to mondstadt only to find out that they are in fact living together but not because of the reason he thought. (he actually feels kind of bad but then he sees how albedo and tighnari act around each other and he agressivly tries to court tighnari back to sumeru, while trying to find a cure for collei on his own (he fails lmao) WHILE also trying to shake off this random mondstadt menaces who are also known as children. (razor doesn't like this man who looks similar to him (he smells weird (he just smells like the desert and razor never smelt that smell)), bennett doesn't like him too because razor doesn't like him, fischl distrusts him because her friends do and diona just dislikes him because she's a cat and is picky about her friends) and then there is also klee. klee who always tries to blow him up because she has to blast something that doesn't hurt 'collei's animals and flowers' and appartently he's a good target.
PHEW okay, that kinda escalated lmao
but yes, now i have tighnari x albedo brainrot, with cyno crushing on tighnari and doing everything to get him back to sumeru while the children of mondstadt + collei just create chaos <33
thanks again for sending this <33

lol this is the 2/2
ANYWAY REASON #1
we are going back to his akadeymia days for this one :3
he was said the be 'handsome but rigid' and ALOT of girls in the akadeymia did find his looks alluring/appealing. I'm pretty sure somewhere in the winter night lazzo trailer he hates being called young. also! he hates being called handsome. two things you can respect in a humble (insane) man.
his pure and twisted compassion of science is what draws me in personally. the way he stays so utterly dedicated to finding new ways and weaponry to destroy celestia and reign hell on innocent people makes my heart warm💋 /hj. but yes. the way that all he was trying to do was create something modern and new for the people of sumeru yet was denied and rejected by his own nation.
also because he sells his pee as a medicine and i think it's really funny (he made a machine to turn pee into water)
fuck gamer girl bath water dottore piss water my new bff /j
final verdict is: he’s insane and we love that for him. his tragic past and any attempts at a likable character are ruined when we get to collei (and arguably wanderer but i’ll shut up abt scara for now) though.
i like the theory w pierro, that’s interesting genuinely, but there comes a line where even if it’s not his fault he got into it, he still did Fucked Up Shit.
tldr he’s a hot villain (but slightly sadder this time), but we already knew that
