Had deltarune on the brain again and I thought of like. A crossover au concept w bungou stray dogs. Like mostly the same deltarune and concepts but also w like some of the abilities and vibes bsd has
For abilities I have Susie pinned with Beast Beneath the Moonlight.
Kris I'm debated whether or not No Longer Human or For the Tainted Sorrow would fit better, between either Dazai's whole vibes for FtTS's corruption
Noelle I'm sorta debating between Demon Snow or Rashoumon???
Idk about anyone else rn and I might also make some abilities based off other books

Hiiiiii !! I hope you're doing okay!
Not quite your usual ask as this will concern Genshin women (I hope that's alright), but I've been thinking about your Male Majority AU A LOT. It became a big fav of mine and I'd really like to write some OS (or even a multi-chap fic) about it sometimes.
I was wondering, what do you think the playable girls are/have become in this AU ? I imagine most of them end up the same fate as Reader, but what about those originally in high power such as Jean, Ningguang, Ganyu, Kokomi, etc,,.
Please know your MMAU and Hybrids posts are some of my favourites, though all of your writings are great. Have a nice day!!
AHHHH thank you <3333 I'm so glad bc I love it to and omg I loved making this so much. Words cannot express how much I love the girls and making fictional girls I love suffer is my lifeblood so this was a blessing to receive ( ´ ω ` ) I would love to write another one of these soon too, I didn't get around to Ningguang  this time but I'd like to eventually (and also Lisa love of my life, and Shenhe too) but I did get several gorls here.
In case that isn't clear enough for everyone: this is bad things happening to the girl cast. Past experience tells me a lot of people are much more sensitive to this sort of thing as opposed to reader-inserts (which is totally fine, I understand why) but basically, if you do not like the thought of female characters going through similar things I write reader-inserts going through, you will want to skip this.
I know it can be character-specific for some people's discomfort, so, while most of the girls are mentioned at least a little, these are the ones with more detailed entries: (Amber, Noelle, Xinyan, Fischl, Lumine, Mona, Ganyu, Kokomi, Sara, Beidou)
Warnings: the usual for the AU (misogyny, fairly dark overall, prostitution, sex slavery etc), mentions of classism, very brief mention of arranged marriages between distant relatives but nothing enough to warrant the actual incest tag, also intense pain/blood mention on Ganyu's (also forgive me but I was obligated to reference the horn-snapping thing lmao)
------
First some more general summary/worldbuilding:
The obvious glaring issue to be addressed here, is what happens regarding visions. It's rare to see a girl get one (they usually have the ambition and willpower broken out of them pretty early on), but sometimes they will get them when they're very young, before, you know, they have their spirits totally crushed by the brutal realities of the world and all that.
It's seen as sort of a red flag, a warning sign that the individual is going to be more rebellious and independently-minded than most. That being said, it can be put to good use. Dendro and hydro in particular have a lot of domestic uses. It's also something that could be a potential selling point, that often ends up getting them aligned with specific occupations. If you're a farmer, for example, having a girl that can quite literally make plants grow or water them in a few seconds' time is quite useful, so they'll often seek them out. If you're a common fisherman, you could really benefit from being able to electrocute water, and then just have to wait for all the dead fish to come floating to the surface and net them up. Vision-havers often make for good partners with such individuals in this way, and the girls are often very willing to comply and be partners, since it means getting to live with a singular person or a small handful of people, a much easier life than prostitution or the like.
Pyro, geo, and cryo, however, are seen as a lot more problematic, due to their high damage potential and relative lack of use for anything besides combative purposes. Sure, maybe the first can light the occasional fire at night, the other two can maybe make a path to cross a river or something, but outside of a handful of specific scenarios, they're not as immediately useful, and a lot more dangerous to whoever they decide to blast a burst of fire or ice or a huge chunk of rock at.
Firstly, they don't get weapons, which significantly limits the potential to cause harm. Their range is far smaller, and the output of energy far less. Still, they can harm those who come close, so more action is often necessary. Total destruction has unknown effects, and removing it far from their person leads to a sort of mental shutdown based on experimentation, so the best solution is to merely keep it close, but not in their possession. Usually it's just handed over to whoever happens to be the legal guardian or owner, who keeps it on their person, and gives it over when it can be useful. Some, of course, come to trust their property enough that they just let them have it at all times, but that's a rarer occurrence.
It's also seen as, or at least presented as, a benevolent thing. Oh, you can't have that. You're going to accidentally hurt yourself with it. Give it to me and I'll take good care of it. Such is one of many excuses given to them when they're first found holding one. Younger girls tend to obey out of naivete. Older ones who are a bit smarter might not fall for that, though, in which case, more forceful and less nice measures are needed to extract the thing.
Any girl can get a vision, though, and it's not really that big of a role in where you end up, aside from positively increasing the chances of not being locked into a brothel lifestyle. Instead, unfortunately, the class you're born into is more or less the primary determinant of your fate.
Yes, those born into elite families do have a significant advantage, as their families essentially bribe the authorities to look the other way for a lot of matters, or are often government/military officials themselves and get to keep their offspring safe as a perk of their power. Keqing, Eula, and Ayaka would probably have the best situations out of anyone. Keqing wouldn't exactly have any real power or significance, and likewise Eula wouldn't be allowed to be a knight, but they'd be safe, which is what really matters.
Elite, wealthy noble families usually just keep girls inside at all times, they essentially never leave the confines of their estates, and usually are well-guarded at all times. The way this is done often varies -- in Liyue and Inazuma they have sprouted the tradition of eunuchs, and it's common for families to have a few accompanying the girls at all times. Ayaka and Keqing would basically be confined to their families' respective estate grounds, and any desire to get up and go anywhere inherently necessitates being accompanied by two or three of said armed eunuchs, likely whose sole job is caring for them. Likewise, they can't get anything for themselves, so it's common for these guards to also function as servants, fetching even the most basic of things because it's preferable to having the girl get up or anything.
For Mondstadt, it's really just more common that as soon as the girl is old enough, she's married off to a distant relative, whom she stays by the side of at virtually all times. Any resentment of your family's ways or personal dislike for them doesn't matter -- a girl who has spite towards her family will be reprimanded and, if necessary, punished to the point where there is essentially no choice but to abide by the enforced mannerisms. Smile, stay by their side, act loving and subservient.
Which would be difficult for someone like Eula, but it's not as if there's any alternative. She's raised from early on to be this way, and her family consistently tries to reshape her more independent attitude. Even then, there's an easy fact to guilt her with: if her family wasn't caring for her, what would happen to her then? If you hate him so much, how would you like to be thrown out into the streets instead? Aren't you grateful we would never do that? So if one doesn't want that to happen, you should be very, very grateful that you have a loving family willing to arrange such a good match for you.
Some who are born to simply caring families also have somewhat of an advantage, even if they're not necessarily nobility or very wealthy types.
However, being in positions of power or authority, organizational/combative/local government-ordained occupations, or even highly respected occupations is... kind of unheard of. So anyone like Jean, Kokomi, Sara, and Yelan would be unable to fulfill the roles they otherwise had, at least in the leadership aspect. The very thought would be laughable. Likewise, you wouldn't see some girl being into the legal sphere like Yanfei, nor any sort of business operation like Hu Tao.
They still work in those areas, just have more of a backseat role. Jean still "works" for the knights -- got married to (read: bought by) a higher-rank, and now gets to perform little odd tasks as needed, gets to sit and listen during meetings and the like. Likewise, the Hu family funeral business was instead passed to the closest male descendent, not just the closest descendant. Hu Tao still gets to help out around the place -- they did pay for approval to marry her off to the guy after all. It's not that weird, they're quite distantly related, and very normal for the Liyue culture, much like the Mondstadt culture.
However, for some, being born middle-class highly increases your chances of being private property and not public property, but in a different way than just staying in the family. Unlike what you might initially think, black markets for human trafficking can actually be advantageous to the girls rather than the opposite, depending on the market.
See, the norm is that when one is born to lower or middle-class families, it's put into records so that once the girl is old enough (they're given an extra year or two of leeway if you ask for it at least) most regions have official agencies that are tasked with collecting them and taking them to be "officially" assigned to either be given to some high-rank government member, sold to someone, or, if none of those, just given to legal, taxed brothels. Since families strongly desire to avoid the last option, and yet, because they would have no control over the matter (even if she goes to a singular individual, they still have no say in who), they've developed a common underhanded strategy. Pay illegal traffickers to more or less take the girl before they're set to be collected, and pay exuberant amounts of money for her safety. In exchange, the standard is that these higher-status black markets essentially do background checks to ensure the girl is sold off to someone who isn't violent, abusive, or otherwise awful. Then they just tell authorities that she ran away, and that they can't do anything.
Similarly, under official standards, families not only have no control, but no knowledge -- most governments have decided it's more... conducive to social harmony that the families are cut off entirely, that they have no way of finding out what happened to the girl, where she is now, or ever communicating with her again. These paid black markets, thus, also establish a policy that in order to ensure the good treatment of the girl, the buyer has to allow her to have written communication with the family (if literate), or sometimes allowed visits. If the family reports that they haven't heard from her, the traffickers' role then is to essentially send the middle men whose job is to threaten and, if a repeated offense, beat the living daylights out of the uncooperative party. It works out for everyone involved.
Those who are common people, though, who can't afford to pay off illicit traders nor bribe officials into letting them keep them, are out of luck.
This is also where the bad kind of black markets come in, the cheaper, lower standards kind. Not that families pay them anything. But working families who can't afford guards often leave their wives, daughters, and so on inside, and especially the more naive sheltered ones will often times venture out, convinced that they'll be okay if they just stay close to home. Some very rural families believe they're safer because they're isolated, and may let their daughters or wives or sisters go roaming around their farm or pastures, telling them to just be careful and always stay close.
But that's not good enough, when you have people lurking and waiting for that kind of opportunity. There will always be some that prowl about, looking for the occasional girl that just went out on the porch to water the flowers or feed the animals, just for a split second, so it's no big deal... but a person can be grabbed and snatched up, gagged and tied within less than a minute, if you know what you're doing as they do. And you can have them sold off for a small profit by the end of the night, and it's not like the families can afford to hire investigative services (which are, here, insanely overpriced and only available to a select few deemed important enough to deserve them, otherwise everyone would constantly be utilizing them, and often primarily employed by the government as runaway hunters more than anything).
But onto individual girls and their misfortunes...
-----------
There are some girls used in various performing arts, and this can be a pathway out of a much worse alternative life for some. If you have a skill or talent, honing it to perfection is highly advised, as it's one way to go from potentially living a large majority of your life as a breeding machine or onahole and instead having some sense of individuality and time to yourself.
Generally, there is a prevailing cultural mentality that you have to be put to some sort of "use" every waking second. For this reason, communal girls generally don't get a whole lot of free time -- you have to spend every moment doing something, even if it's not necessarily actively having sex. Still have to be talking and entertaining the company of some boy, being a pretty eyecandy piece at some sort of meeting, and so on.
But if you have some extra skill that provides some sort of value (that is, a performative skill of some kind, as any academic or particularly intellectual talents will be smothered like an unwanted spark instead), you can, albeit still controlled by some sort of manager of some kind, have a lot more room to breathe and exist on your own. You get some semblance of time to yourself because practice is important and all that. It's more like idol culture -- the girls are revered by masses and elevated to goddess status, worshipped and adored... and kept far away from their fans.
Consequently, Barbara, Xinyan, Nilou, and Yun Jin have an advantage. Xinyan's situation is a bit unique, though, because of the mentality with which it's approached, as well as the garb with which it's performed.
Yun Jin is a bit better off than them because for starters, she's more or less fully covered, but also because people have a sense of reverence for a valued piece of long-standing culture, so they're less aggressive and pushy. Likewise, while Nilou might be dressed... like that, but again, the whole reverence of tradition comes in, and she's kept up on a wide stage far away from viewers, the whole practice is very well-known and has a lot of funding to hire guards. Barbara keeps up the whole "pure" appeal, which also makes her seem a little more "untouchable," in addition to the general taboo that nuns are entirely off-limits. Regardless, several regions' legislation more or less forbids "celebrity prostitution" -- the act of a manager or production company making a girl famous for some sort of talent, only to start making more of a profit off of her body (something that happened enough times that they felt it necessary to make laws against it, even, although it's more about preventing profit that can't be taxed, more than for the sake of the girl).
Liyue is not one of those nations. It allows for such things due to, predictably, far stricter taxation practices that ensure it won't go unnoticed. And the culture of rock music is quite different from the others, a much less reverent sort of thing.
It's more high-energy and blood-pumping, the performers are known to get rather physically close to their audiences, and it's viewed as more pop culture rather than a sacred, historical tradition. Thus, people have less reverence, and thereby see the performers as less... untouchable. And if they don't view her as untouchable, that spells some problems, and a tendency for entitlement rears its ugly head.
It's not a sacred tradition, so why shouldn't they get touching and groping and sex as part of the after-show?? One huge gangbang would be a perfect finale to a such a heated, high-energy experience.
And unfortunately, it's not really her call to make. The only condition under which she can perform in the first place is by having a manager, and in this case, said manager decides that essentially running a post-performance prostitution side show would be incredibly profitable.
Which is a very accurate prediction. While rock music may not be as popular in Liyue at first, she slowly accumulates a fanbase, and while it's still somewhat of a niche, said niche is a cult following of rabidly obsessive fans. Does a portion of the reason behind her following have to do with those nice exposed thighs? Perhaps. Of course, said fans are also genuinely into the music, but there's no reason to not obsess over the performer too.
So imagine if, for comparison, the average dude had the opportunity to sleep with an idol well-known in her niche, and that's basically what happens here. They're willing to pay insane amounts of money just to touch, and even more to go further. The fame means that she makes far more mora per customer than the average prostitute, too (the reason it's outlawed in some places, since it's difficult to trace the purchases from an individual and not a brothel, at least in other nations). And as with many sorts of celebrity-fan interactions, it's more than just sex -- you can pay to actually sit down and spend time with the girl (very closely monitored of course, so they don't take more than what they paid for), for however long you're willing to pay for. Still, for both her and the other performer-type girls, this setup is still infinitely better than being in an actual brothel or owned by someone -- a fact which all talent managers are very quick to remind their performers of, a sort of quiet looming threat that if the girls can't keep up the singing or dancing or acting or whatever they do, then that's where they'll end up.
As for her, well, she has a rambunctious spirit and all, but conversations with creepy guys aren't exactly the ideal way to spend one's time. There's a lot of o-oh, uh... thanks...? in response to some compliments she might get. Keep in mind, there's no culture of respect or politeness in which guys are informed that such comments are not really going to be perceived as compliments, that a girl might not be all that flattered by it. So because it's totally appropriate in their minds, the most vulgar, disgusting strings of words you can imagine are much more likely to be given out as compliments -- although it's with complete sincerity and coming from a good intention, so, she can't bring herself to be too upset... and besides, she's supposed to say thanks and smile and take it or the manager might get mad.
And it's exhausting. Day after day. As if performances weren't tiring enough. Some people start to notice -- she looks less energetic than usual. She seems tired. She's oddly quiet. It creates some concern. This ultimately leads to an incident in which she ends up passing out on stage out of sheer exhaustion, and that's pretty significant when you consider the amount of weariness it takes for that to happen to such a naturally high-energy person.
Which actually warrants a quick questioning from a medical worker that's called for her, the contents of said conversation end up reaching law enforcement, and turns out, it'll not legal to work her that much. There's labor laws in this nation, after all. Out with the old manager, in with a new one. After that, she gets a much more balanced schedule, is allowed to take days off even... before going right back to it. Phew. The music industry is tough.
------
A very, very, very few girls make a life by themselves.
Is it legal? No. Do they take the risk anyway? Of course, if you can you might as well. In any universe, you can get away with quite a lot by simply pretending you're allowed to. It's really astounding sometimes just how much you can do by just acting like you're exactly where you're supposed to be, doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing. Sometimes you have to dress or look the part, though.
Which is fairly easy for Mona, having the ability to make yourself disappear into a faint trail of water. Steal a collar when no one is looking, put it on, and there you go, you look like you belong to someone. Forge papers yourself in case someone gets nosy, and no one will really suspect you did it, since the default assumption is that you can't read or write.
A lot of people think it's very careless for someone to let a girl go walking around on her own, but then again, if that's the case, then it's probably someone really powerful and rich, and no one would want to get on the bad side of someone like that. So, incredibly, people sort of leave her alone, keep a distance from her even. At first, of course, she was naturally terrified it wouldn't work, but it surprisingly goes over quite well. After a while of living off of scraped-together funds (stolen from her own teacher and former legal guardian right around the time of reaching the sell-off-able age, before running off and high-tailing it halfway across the continent), she has to make a living somehow, and decides to do so the same way she would otherwise.
The whole "something you don't see everyday" aspect adds a sort of mysterious and exciting appeal that actually draws in customers. The idea that something is rare and valuable, something that captivates so much attention, sort of subconsciously lends her credibility, people take her word as fact. If it was just any other guy, they'd be less likely to even pay attention, much less believe the predictions, but the whole rarity and uniqueness sort of aligns with the esoteric nature of astrology, it seems fitting and authentic and thereby real.
The stature and physique catches the eye due to standing out amongst crowds (and the garb she ends up wearing certainly helps), they do a double take before coming closer out of curiosity, and usually end up paying for the services. Of course, many ask for additional services, assuming it's available, but those collars sort of serve as an equivalent to how another universe would have wedding rings -- when you point to it, they realize you're off-limits, usually sulking away in disappointment, but not wanting to invoke the wrath of some other guy by pushing further.
She also manages to bribe a local into letting her perform the rental apartment process because he's busy and can't make it today, so he told me to do it, I can sign for it... and turns out they'll allow it if you push. Coming to Mondstadt was a good choice after all, there's no way this would go over so well anywhere else.
One can get around for quite some time like that. But even in the freest nation on the map, it's still bound to come apart at some point.
As with any sort of crime, law enforcement do not like discovering that they have been in some way deceived for an extended period of time. It's embarrassing for them even under normal circumstances, and infinitely more so to have let something like this go right under their noses for months. It feels like her heart stops, hearing a knock on the door and a gruff voice that is definitely not the landlord, saying to open up the door. But the excuses aren't going to work this time, and trying to run away by slipping into the illusory torrent only leads to getting exhausted and coming out of it in the middle of the square in the center of town, only to be immediately tackled by knights in front of an entire crowd (watching with some combination of amusement and entrancement -- hey, look, the tights ripped...)
Damned landlord has been suspicious for a while now, but hey, she was paying for that unit no one else would take. But when she's no longer able to make those payments and ends up running several days late on rent, he realizes he can probably get a lot more money for sending in a tip to the knights about suspicions of criminal activity. Which is true -- it's well-known that, in all nations, there's a standard monetary reward for finding any runaways or otherwise unaccounted for or hidden girls, and potentially even more money if it turns out they're missing from a wealthy owner.
No such case here, due to that timing -- run off right before being sold or given to someone, so they'll have to find someone new. First, though, in cases like this, there's a crucial reeducation and remedial treatment to undergo first...
---
Gangs and treasure hoarders and eremites and all that still exist of course.
And so do pirates. Joining these types of gangs can also be an ideal route to obtaining sex for an otherwise sexless young man. See, oftentimes they will scrape their funds together and buy a communal slave of sorts. Of course there's a lot of bickering whenever the time finally comes to make that purchase -- one guy says he wants a girl with big tits, but another guy wants small tits, this one wants a young one and this guy wants an older one... eventually, either a compromise is reached, one guy with the most authority makes the decision, or, in a rather comical display to an outside observer, they may even take a vote on the matter.
Which is exactly what the Crux fleet does. There were a lot of differing tastes among the men, the vote that ultimately wins (by a single vote, much to the chagrin of those who voted otherwise, but oh well) was a set of characteristics: not particularly young nor particularly older, big tits and big thighs. Or, in the eloquent words of the member who initially proposed this set of features, 'thick as fuck.' Quite the win for the enthusiasts of said traits.
That being said, no one really decided on a personality or anything, so the guy sent to actually go buy the new resident ship slave didn't think much of it.
This poor woman has been through a lot. She's old enough to have been out in the world for some years now, constantly thrown about from one lifestyle and environment to the next. And she has a bit of an... attitude. 'Fiery spirit' is how the vendor worded it. Never been privately owned, always got the short end of the stick and sent to brothels instead. After a while, that really starts to wear on a person's psyche, especially someone stubborn and prideful by nature. Constantly having that pride stamped out creates a lot of resentment. The last of said brothel owners had finally had enough of her tendencies to cause problems, and sent her off. But if anyone can handle that, pirates would be able to, right? So they essentially shove her off on them for a low price.
Some of the members are practically intimidated by the woman. She's not a particularly grouchy or mean person, and is actually good-natured, but she has a bold energy to her. And as it turns out, she doesn't do things just because you tell her to. Scary. Aren't they supposed to be really soft and gentle?? What gives?
Well, it's probably a matter of time, right? Kind of like when you get a dog, and it may be skittish before it adjusts. They just remain hopeful about the matter... it's not like they can hold back anyway.
See, the thing about brothels is that they're still regulated. Despite the whole "need to be put to use" mentality, for health concerns, the girls get breaks each day, they get to take days off per month. The people who run brothels are usually fairly well-educated enough to know that such things are necessary. A bunch of pirates, many of whom have never touched a girl in their lives? Much less so. Why can't she just keep going 24/7? If there's thirty or so of them, that's not enough to spread one hour each evenly!
Or, wait... she probably needs to sleep right? Do the females sleep less or more than normal people? Or is it the same? They end up just having to ask her. Interestingly, plenty of guys have a lot of misconceptions like that -- some tend to greatly overestimate the concept of dimorphic differences, and think of the other sex as a foreign species or the like whose bodies work entirely differently or something, and are surprised to learn that yes, they eat and sleep just the same, they have complex thoughts and wants, they can remember things that happened recently, and so on. Regardless, this unfortunately means they can't all get some every day, so they end up having to evenly divide time. And with time, they learn to be less intimidated, and more commanding. Surely with enough time (and enough mileage of cock), she'll start being less standoffish.
Of course, there's also the issue of keeping her sort of secretive -- if other rival groups were to find out about her, it would be motivation enough for others to raid their ship, possibly getting them all killed. So for the most part, they keep her below deck... turns out though, that has some negative consequences. How come she's all still and lethargic and unresponsive? Are they sensitive to lack of sunlight, like normal people are? Seems like evolution would have gotten rid of need for sun and fresh air by now.
Well, they can take her out during the day, as long as they keep close watch and all. They just hurriedly stuff her back down there if some other ship approaches. Likewise, she's contraband, technically. Obviously they didn't go to a legal market, so they have no papers or anything. This makes it... difficult when arriving in ports that have active law enforcement posted and checking around. Hope she's okay with being gagged and stuffed in a barrel for a couple of hours.
One could find the ways of the will of the universe quite humorous, if you stop to think about it -- in another universe, they'd be taking orders from the same girl they now have bent over every surface of the ship on a daily basis, would be relying on her to take down large enemies too. Fate works in interesting ways.

Some roles, in contrast, remain the same in title, but simply take on new meanings and responsibilities.
The divine priestess of Watatsumi, for example, has a very critical job! She is revered, an object of awe and adoration... and a sort of holy prostitute.
They take the whole idea of her being a healer to a maximum extent. It is believed that by having intercourse with the priestess, you will obtain divine blessing and good fortune. Consequently, she's trained specifically for the position. Kokomi gets stamina and endurance training, flexibility training, and so on. So that by the time she finally starts to officially begin fulfilling the role, she'll be perfect at performing the responsibilities that said role entails. Each and every day she can spend hours satiating the needs of her very loyal and adoring soldiers.
Sometimes this means one-on-one sessions with individual soldiers (the promise of getting to have the priestess to yourself for an entire hour is quite the way to motivate the troops to perform tasks, and a morale boost too!), and sometimes it means taking a long line of them, one after the other.
Of course, some might say it's merely a natural, hormonal thing, but if you were to ask them, they believe that the resulting increased motivation in the troops, their increased vigor and elevated mood, yet simultaneous tranquility and lack of stress or hostility with each other, is a divine act of providence, and evidence to the validity of the priestess's deified nature. After spending much of her day tending to healing physical wounds, she also heals the hearts and minds of the soldiers too, with her mere presence (and body).
It really goes beyond being a priestess. See, in the religious canon that has evolved over centuries of development of folk beliefs on the island, she's technically a vessel that carries and serves as a messenger for an elder fertility goddess. Due to this, she's also seen as a predictor of fortune in the social sense -- the divine priestess being impregnated is supposed to be a positive omen for the people of the island as a whole, indicating birthrate prosperousness for the near future. It's somewhat akin to how traditional folk beliefs would say this or that sign indicates an upcoming good harvest or the like.
It's all done with what is, to an outside observer, a bizarre and even comical sort of seriousness and reverence. They take the matter very seriously and stake great importance on it, exhibit religious-like austerity while essentially running a train on the poor girl.
Sometimes it is akin to a religious ceremony. Once a month, on full moon nights (when it is believed hydro is at it's maximum power, given the connection to tides and all that), they have essentially a huge, one-girl orgy, consuming the entire night, complete with lots of food and alcohol. If the priestess were to be impregnated at that time, it's said that would produce an incredibly powerful soldier one day. So they all give it their best to pump her all full as possible.
And if one soldier in particular is having a rough time of it, shows a lot of signs of stress or depression, they just send him on his way to go straight to her. Sometimes even if a guy is sick or something, they do the same, and if he gets better after some time (you know, like the body tends to naturally do on its own when you get a cold) then they claim it to be the medicinal properties of her body and fluids that can heal even illness! Incredible. Although sometimes this means the priestess herself gets sick in return. This, they believe, is basically her using her divine power to remove the illness from the man and taking it upon herself instead. Such a self-sacrificing, benevolent priestess she is, to do that for them. They're eternally grateful.
Oh, but of course, none of this means she has any sort of authority or anything. Other leaders are still appointed to take care of the actual decision-making and all that. After all, she's priceless, worshipped, the object of awe and devotion and adoration, but at the end of the day she's still... you know.
But the Resistance soldiers aren't the only ones that get a sharable group pet. Of course, having that resource (read: pussy) readily available is crucial to the success and morale of soldiers. So the shogunate forces get a toy as well, even if theirs is not quite as revered, nor as... compliant.
Likewise, though, the Kujou clan does traditionally take this responsibility on, so like Kokomi, Sara was more or less well-aware all her life this would one day be her fate, and was prepared accordingly. She's not particularly eager or accepting of it, though, in fact is quite resentful. Some girls are like that -- they just don't have the capacity to comprehend the bigger picture of the world, so they're resentful and rebellious and don't understand why the hierarchy and order of things is so important. They view the subservience as humiliating or something, but it's really not, it's an honor and a privilege and she should feel very proud of it... unless of course they want it to be an act of humiliation and degradation, in which case it is. But she's not supposed to feel that way unless they want her to at the moment, of course.
But propriety is of great importance to Inazuman culture, and really hammered into people's heads as something to be valued, so... if these are the duties that are in place, so be it. These guys are a bit rougher, they lack the same sense that what they're shoving their cock in is a divine being, so they can be more impatient and demanding. That doesn't mesh very well with her personality, as you might imagine. Narrowed eyes, a sternness to her voice telling them to be patient and wait their turns... but they can just ignore that. Alternate solutions exist, of course, she's got plenty of holes, and they can be stretched to accommodate more than one person at a time, too. She also can't argue against it if her mouth is full.
They're still respectful, to an extent, and they appreciate her a lot! But she's also scary to some... she walks a fine line wherein she's liked for her contributions, especially a lot of the younger or newer boys are very fond of her, approach her smiling... but the smile wavers due to her intimidating aura. That being said, as she's frequently subjected to rather degrading treatment, being able to bend her over at any given time is an experience that helps a lot of new recruits shake off that intimidation. They still love her though! Even if she's not particularly nice or affectionate.
For a lot of them, it's quite literally the only female interaction they have ever had, so they take even the slightest kind words or praise or willing touch as a sign of affection, and cling to it like their lives depend on it. They become desperate for more, hungry for more little droplets of affection, or even favor, if they could manage to be so lucky. Plenty of guys have received a polite gesture or her slumping over on them out of exhaustion post-coitus, and gone on to inform their entire squad that he is now her favorite, based on this clear evidence. All of said positive interactions with her are considered great bragging rights amongst them.
And much like with the opposing forces, they also tend to have large-scale, orgy-like events at regular intervals with a sort of ceremonial flair to it. Kujous produce very strong and intelligent soldiers, so the hope is that with the sperm of so many men inside her all at once, surely only the strongest will manage to impregnate, producing the best offspring possible. In one form of service or another, she's just as vital to their success either way.
-----
And much like Inazuma, Mondstadt also values the health and well-being of their knights. But Mondstadt has less of an orderly culture focused on propriety and all that, so the knights are a bit less patient and more aggressive in their pursuits -- leading to conflict and sometimes subsequent injury when fighting over a girl. Consequently, they add some more funding to the communal sex budget, and get more than one.
Now, as mentioned previously, girls born into noble families like Eula are essentially protected from this sort of thing, so they usually obtain ones born to normal households, who didn't quite make the cut to be protected by becoming nuns either.
Which is a possibility -- joining a nunnery is one of the very few ways in Teyvat to completely escape being some sort of pet or slave. However, given the... exceptionally large number of applicants, while also having very limited space, they can't just take in everyone, so it's usually on a first-come first-serve basis if a space is open, or if you have some sort of benefit to them. Barbara, for example, much like Xinyan previously, is marketed as an idol and draws in revenue, all while remaining off-limits to the crowds of fans. Rosaria has her own set of skills, and, well, she was one of those "right place right time" individuals who just so happened to come along when a slot was available.
Amber and Noelle would have likely not been as lucky, but they didn't really consider it anyway, both are pretty happy in their roles. That being said, applying for the knights is also a much better outcome than public brothels, so they're fairly content where they are. Both are very spirited and dedicated girls who give it their all! They're very committed to being helpful and properly performing the job description. Genuinely, both are fairly content -- being in a world where it's all so normal, this is considered a pretty good life to be living, and they're both rather happy to be useful and do their best. Jean was lucky enough to actually marry someone, so she's off-limits to most of the knights, but these two are instead at the beck and call of anyone who needs them.
Of course, higher-ranked knights get their needs prioritized, but even after they're done, the lower-ranks can have some too. They're also very well-protected; in general, even brothels try to take care of the girls' well-being as much as they can, but that's harder when you're working with large numbers and need to make a profit, so sometimes those girls are just told to tolerate things they'd rather not. But in this case, with just the two of them, if someone mistreats them in any way, it's grounds for immediate reprimand and punishment. After all, the harmony of the whole atmosphere is largely dependent on the two of them -- when they're happy and all bright and bubbly, it lifts everyone else's spirits as well, keeps up the morale.
It's all very normalized to go through the meetings with one of them crawling around under the table, moving her mouth from one to the next as it drones on. Even afterwards, when some individuals come up to ask questions after the meeting, there's always some guy fucking one girl over the long meeting table on the other side of the room. Sometimes they have to tell them to quiet down. Sex is generally freely given, just depends on who is busy at a time, and they're patient enough to form lines most of the time. Sleeping is a much more involved process though -- with so many knights, they have to coordinate a sleeping schedule so that each one gets to have a nice warm body to hold at night once a month or so.
Oh, and of course, they take care of some small tasks too. Noelle tends to prefer cleaning up and staying in headquarters, while Amber tends to go out with exploration patrols and the like (they have to have at least one, what are they supposed to do if they get horny in the middle of patrol if they don't have an immediately available hole??), and she can do little things like set fires, light lamps, make food, all of which are more or less the only use her vision ever gets.
------
But unlike them, everything is so much infinitely worse when you're someone coming from somewhere... normal. Poor Lumine.
Most girls are just born into the system -- to a family, from which their fate is determined by class and by the whims of auctioneers who determine if they get sold or go to public use, and a few by special circumstances.
So when some girl just sort of appears out of nowhere, there's a bit of confusion on to what should even be done.
She's smart and observant and all, so she would know something is wrong. Walking into the city gates and being met with wide-eyed stares, the sort of surprise where people freeze up in the middle of some task and go completely still, fixated on her, slack-jawed and eyebrows raised.
There are plenty of reasons, though, to imagine why this might be. She does stand out, clothing and all, or maybe there's some feature she has that doesn't exist in people here that she hasn't noticed yet. With such a crowd as the bustling city, it's easy to not immediately notice the singular glaring difference between oneself and everyone else.
That doesn't last long, though. Sure, she might have been doing something against cultural norms, but being apprehended? That's a little too far! What could the problem possibly be, that this is necessary? Or that's her train of thought, suddenly feeling a sense of dread as a group of three or so knights surround her, tell her to come with them, refuse to answer why.
Rather bold, though, they think. Rather stupid, too. The runaways usually move at night, and try to stay hidden. But walking around in broad daylight, right in the middle of the street, showing off so much skin? What did she expect to happen? If anything, dressed like that, she's lucky she didn't get jumped by a crowd. Granted, everyone knows they're not particularly intelligent, but come on.
Of course, they don't seem very convinced by her story. They just sort of chortle and smirk, amused at first, quickly annoyed when it persists. From another world, she says. Uh-huh. Sure. Listen, don't make this harder than it has to be, just tell us where you're supposed to go.
But she's relentless in her wild fantasies she keeps spouting, and thus, they're forced to dig through databases, contact locals and see if anyone knows where this girl is supposed to be. The efforts prove futile. No one knows. There's not even a record of her birth or existence across the different nations. Maybe she really is telling the truth.
Not that it matters anyway.
No, a quick examination -- just in case, since if she really is some kind of alien, her body could be different -- proves that she has all the right parts. They had to get multiple people to hold her down so someone could do the stripping and examining, which is quite the shocking experience, as most of these guys are only used to seeing very demure and passive females, so seeing one put up a fight like this is quite unusual. But she proves to be very normal, physically at least. Tits for squeezing and milking. All the right holes and a womb, and hips that looks very childbirth-suitable. A little bit on the strong side, especially for her size, but of course not so much that it could ever be comparable to the average man. Besides, a few months of no physical activity should take care of that anyway.
They can just put her with the others. So they just haul her off to sell like any normal girl, kicking and screaming the entire time. She really started freaking out when she overheard a few choice words and finally put two and two together to understand the position she's in, they had to pretty quickly take that weapon away, and tie her up too much to use this newfound elemental power... and that... fairy thing gets put in a cage too. Maybe they'll sell it or something. Still, the girl fights to the bitter end, dragging her heels and thrashing like a wild animal. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing either, no, quite marketable actually. Some guys even pay extra for the fighters.
-----
Some girls are really sheltered, though. One would have to be, to remain in a little fantasy and never having grown out of it. "Prinzessin." Hah, give him a break.
That's the observation of one particular young man, jobless and just barely scraping by, who has decided to try his hand at kidnapping and selling to traffickers as a means to make a little extra cash. A nobody, just a face like any other, nothing special about him, and self-aware of it. People should acknowledge when they're just an average person, he thinks, and this girl could stand to take that advice to heart too. Sure, you can pretend to be a princess or whatever, but that doesn't change that you're just a regular person.
Gods. Shut up. Shut up! Please.
How did he even end up here? The poor man has been listening to this girl go on for ten minutes. What did he ever do to deserve this? He thought it was a lucky coincidence, and took advantage of it -- some dumb girl roaming around in her yard unattended, so he decided to grab her and drag her off thinking he could sell her to actual traffickers, and now has to listen to... that.
...that you shall unbind me this very instant, lest it be your wish to suffer the unbridled and maximal--
I'm going to gag you if you don't stop talking.
He's heard more words previously unfamiliar to him in the past hour than the rest of his life combined. He's silently sitting there, weighing back and forth in his head if the usual reward price is worth this psychological torture. Maybe he can just drop her off back at her home. Agh, but there might already be authorities there if she's been noticed missing, and he'll get arrested.
Now he's stuck with the consequences of his actions, at least for the next 24 hours or so until he finally makes his way by moonlight to a known hangout for traders (traffickers typically have a lot of overlap with Treasure Hoarders and Eremites and other such groups), and then he can shove her off on them and collect a reward. It's bearable... barely. She even has the nerve to electrocute him, didn't even see that pesky gem-looking thing attached to her until he got a shock to the face from a damn bird. Pretty sure these things don't have a lot of value when sold on their own, so he'll just give it to the traders too... but confiscates it for now, and the bird disappears with it, seemingly much to the girl's distress, but he can ignore that if he concentrates on tuning her voice out. It's somewhat hard to resist temptations too, but the traders find it distasteful if it's evident you had your way with the goods prior to drop-off, so he can refrain for now, maybe visit a brothel later.
He's glad to finally be rid of her the next day, after carrying the girl all the way to the next town over and dropping her off with a trafficker in the woods before the sun rises. Could barely discuss price negotiations over her babbling on and on with very eloquent threats to curse him or something like that. Nonetheless, he spends the day gleefully drinking away. He's already spent a small sum on booze by the time night comes around, and has just left the local pub when a familiar face comes seeking him out of the crowd. One of the traders from earlier. Says it's urgent. Draws him outside into the woods.
He has the same girl from earlier with him. Ankles and wrists bound, a very thick layer of tape over her mouth. The trader picks her up and extends his arms out, holding her out for him to take.
Take her back.
He pauses.
...Huh?
The trader huffs in frustration.
They can't handle her.
...HUH??
Told me to give her back to you. Keep her. Don't need the money back.
In one swift motion, the trader shoves her forward into his arms, turns, and bolts off.
And now, he is left with the girl in his possession. Can't take her home without running the risk of present law enforcement arresting him on the spot. He doesn't like the thought of just letting her go, either, could get taken by some really bad people -- hey, he's a trafficker, not a heartless monster.
There has to be some sort of alternative. Which he might be able to think of one, if--
I was nice enough to take that gag off, shut up long enough for me to hear myself think.
Ugh. But even then, there seems to be no real option that works out well. He'll have to keep her with him until he can find a trader willing to take her off his hands.
Which proves difficult, as it turns out, stories traveled quickly, and all the local traders have been told about him and the girl he has with him, and to avoid them. Keep her, they all say, some chuckling. It's not just a matter of the... obvious, but also, girls who are, ah, unique in some way, present a bit of a problem to illegal traffickers, as they can be recognized by those who might have previously known them and reported to the law, whether it's for visual traits or ones related to personality. She's too much of a risk.
And thus, he's just sort of... stuck with her. Ends up in a sort of limbo state wherein he's dragging her along with him, keeps saying he'll drop her off with the next person, but eventually stops trying. Yet, he's also made no promises to do anything else. And again, despite being a bit of a grouch and having participated in morally loathsome activities, he's not heartless, of course he gives her food (Oh my god, stop complaining! I went out of my way to make it for you, I didn't have to do that) and a sleeping space (--because I can't *afford* another sleeping bag, okay? I spend all my money taking care of you, you ungrateful little... ugh, come on, just share this one...) and puts up with some rather frustrating tendencies (I am NOT going to call you that, for the millionth time.). She can be... difficult.
Of course, it's not long before he breaks and ends up taking those frustrations out on the girl anyway... she words it something along the lines of 'defiling her with his repulsive plebian seed' or something like that, he's stopped paying much attention. Even if she squirms and pushes and spits insults at him, it's still a warm, wet hole. And besides, said insults decrease in frequency over time. So do the threats to annihilate him after regaining her supposed "full power," whatever that means. He's pretty strict about keeping the vision tucked away from her anyway... at first. After a while, he realizes that if she has her bird, she'll be in a much better mood and much less likely to ramble on and on, so it's allowed for short periods of time. Said bird is not too fond of him, though, tried to attack him more than once. She freaked out -- even broke character -- when he threatened to turn it into a roast, so the compromise is that if she tells it not to attack him, he can tolerate it.
...Eventually, he starts to think that this is okay, perhaps. He can just... keep her himself. Avoid law enforcement, take on a few odd jobs to get money for extra food. Scrape together the funds for fake documents. He'll just have to be vigilant so no one steals her. Not that he's getting emotionally attached or anything, no... so he thinks to himself whenever he's laying there at night.
--that if not for your misdeeds alone should ill fortune befall you, it would be upon me to--
Please let me sleep.
-----
Finally, there is one way to live a relatively free life: being a non-human, even if humanoid. Of course, the adepti fit this descriptor perfectly, so Ganyu has an easier time than most.
Working among humans is, of course, off limits. They wouldn't allow it anyway, and it would just lead to trouble. Thus, she lives a much more isolated life than she would otherwise, remaining instead in the wilderness, far away from people and consequential danger.
...But, of course, as they always do, human guys find ways.
There is an urban legend of sorts about the qilin adeptus. She's very special, because she's very free, and lives all by herself, up in the mountains, so it's said. That's a very foreign concept to most guys.
And isn't it a shame? Free pussy walking about in the wilderness, going unutilized. Imagine the most perfect, amazing food one could eat, and it's just left to sit there and rot, uneaten -- what's even the point, if the thing isn't going to be used for the purpose for which it exists? It makes no sense. One of the many enigmas of the non-human world.
Someone should fix that. Or so is the general consensus on the matter.
There's no need to make up some tall tale about her having magical or medicinal properties that will heal disease or grant immortality or anything like that, no. Some do say it brings good fortune to see her with your own eyes, but that's not really in the forefront of anyone's mind. What's more important is the very concept of conquest itself.
That's why so many people come trying to take her down. No real benefit to themselves, and it's actually taking quite a risk... but can you imagine being the guy that gets to say he's the one that captured and tamed a mythical beast? To come out of the wilderness with that creature in tow for everyone to see? It's quite the power-trip, egotistical fantasy, the sort of perverse fantasy that gets a lot of young guys' blood pumping (usually towards a specific bodily region). And it motivates plenty to try their hand at finding the creature.
Thing is, most young men are an unfortunate combination of impatient, loud, and quite dumb. So time and time again, they always fail. She's alerted to their presence and flees, and they're forced to come back empty-handed.
The problem is that this only makes the whole thing worse. After so many people fail, her notoriety increases, more and more people have heard of her, and only increases the sense of elusiveness and challenge -- that is, for every person that fails, it will be that much more satisfying of a victory, all the more of a source of pride, to whoever finally doesn't fail. Not to mention, somehow, a myth was born that if you break her horns off, she'll go limp and be unable to move, and now the boys bring up hacksaws and chisels and hammers with them. It's scary. Even if she uses an inhuman qilin form, they still recognize her too.
Of course, part of it is her own doing... see, she's still so good-hearted, so empathetic, that she's saved the lives of those trying to capture her more than once. Some poor guy knocked himself out cold on a rock... he'll freeze to death if left here. So she takes him back, puts him down close to the edge of civilization. Or, a few times, some guy has slid down onto a ledge, no way to climb up or down, and she extends a hand to help pull them up -- and run off as soon as they're on their feet. This only increases the number of survivors to go home, tell the tale, and spark further interest in others, and it likewise increases the chance they'll try again, but... she just can't let them be harmed.
But still, due to the aforementioned traits they tend to have, most fail, over and over. Yet, there's a subtle awareness in the back of her mind that, one day, someone is bound to finally succeed.
But as long as a human is peaceful... she won't do anything to discourage them.
There's a boy that's come into the wilderness these days to hunt. The other adepti would be a bit stricter, would tell him he has to leave, but... he wouldn't be this far away from the nearest village by choice. There must be a food shortage or something. And he's hunting actual game, leaves with a few pheasants or rabbits at the end of each day, and then he goes back to a small tent on the edge of the territory, having made a full camp for himself, fire and tools and all. A few little makeshift stations, one for tanning hides. Just a hunter, nothing more.
In fact, she becomes a bit worried sometimes, and goes to check on the boy, ensure he's fine, which he always is.
She gets a bit too close, though, and ends up stepping on a stick, snapping it in half. He looks up, having been crouched down and prodding the fire. Eyes go wide.
...But then he smiles. Waves. Doesn't get up and come charging at her, doesn't fixate on her with that crazed expression some have. The lack of surprise at the sight of her seems to indicate that he knows of her, knows who she is, but he makes no move to cause any harm.
He doesn't pose any problems. He never goes far up into the mountains, usually stays at the base of it, hunting small animals, only venturing up to get the occasional ram or deer. He has a routine -- hunts most days, every Friday uses leftover guts to go fishing, then on weekends, he hauls all those tanned animal pelts over his shoulder, leaves overnight, and comes back the next day with all the little tools and non-perishable footstuffs and books presumably bought with the money from selling the hides. Such a simple life, some humans do lead. It sounds pleasant, really.
And he still sees her sometimes. They happen to cross paths at a distance. He always smiles and waves, but never does anything to harm her. He's a safe one. She's happy he's prosperous, and goes to check on him often from high vantage points during her daily routine, the same walk each day. Oh, now he's cutting down trees... Building a cabin. Must intend to stay long-term. No matter.
He's not even around, one fateful day. She's only going about her path as usual. The same little walk she takes, each and every day. The autumn leaves pile up all over the ground. The area is so beautiful around this time, so the walks are even more relaxing, she likes to take her time, slowly making her way down the beaten path where the grass has been worn away by all the animals and the occasional traveler passing over it, and although it's covered in leaves now, she still knows where it is by heart. Each and every--
Step.
There's a sort of pain that doesn't get an immediate sound. Intense, overwhelming pain, that hits the nervous system with such a harsh, brutal shock, it leaves one speechless. Gasping for breath, chest and stomach muscles spasming, body going rigid.
Only after a few seconds does she hit the ground and scream. Falling down makes it pull further at the flesh, and she wails. A wail so deafening it could be heard for a mile or more.
And when she props herself up on an elbow, body lying on the ground, and looks down at her leg with watery eyes and blurred vision, she can still see the jagged metal spikes, the blood oozing out where the metal pierces the flesh. A jaw-like contraption, triggered by weight pressing down on the flat part in the center. The same kind of trap used by...
...used by... hunters...
A familiar face pokes out from behind a tree. Comes rushing over to help.
But it's anything but comforting. The soft smile and pleased expression makes it clear that it has all gone as was intended.
Sorry I had to hurt you.
He's still smiling. But so sweet. So soft and comforting, it isn't right, doesn't line up with someone who would do this.
It's okay. You'll be alright.
Pulls the weighted piece out of the ground. Can't pull it out here, or she could bleed too much, have to wait until getting back to the camp. Wait, is that even a problem for them? Can they bleed to death? Well, better safe than sorry. He asks, but she can't answer any questions. She's sobbing and wailing, chest heaving with rapid, shuddering breaths, body trembling. To see a revered creature in this pathetic of a state is probably very rare. He feels special. And very guilty, keeps mumbling apologies... But special.
She doesn't fight it when he rolls her to her side, gently ties her hands behind her back. She squirms a bit and jerks against the retraints when he takes the vision off her hip, but she's too restrained and in too much pain to do much. And she merely whimpers and trembles when she's picked up. Her leg is bent at an odd angle. Must have broken it when she collapsed, twisting it against the metal.
But he was considerate. Made sure to set the traps very close to the camp, so it will only be a short distance. He's memorized where each one is -- he saved up a lot of money, bought enough raw ore to make a ton of them -- and expertly maneuvers around each one until out of the area, cooing comforting words and pressing a kiss to her forehead.
He did also get a saw with that money, though. Heard the whole horn thing, and you can never be too careful... but that can wait until tomorrow.

Finally got around to drawing @distantcrossing ‘s sdv farmer oc Noelle!!!! Hope u like it friend!
66 notes · View notes
Hello!
I’m Noelle! I’m from Unova, but have traveled all over the place. I absolutely love spoiling my ‘mons with homemade snacks, and I’ve worked in many a random industry just to experience it all
Tumblr media
My team:
Florana (Gardevoir, Quirky nature) (Caught with Premier Ball): Grade-A emotional support Pokémon and professional asskicker. She’s wonderfully smart and has a massive sweet tooth, just like me. Terrific at helping get some income, and has been my best friend since middle school.
Gossamer (Sylveon, Gentle nature) (Caught with Friend Ball): Florana’s partner-in-crime in emotional support and expert at getting into food. Sweetest boy you’ve ever met, and regularly demands cuddles when I’m trying to type
Maples (Sprigatito, Impish nature) (Caught with Nest Ball): The most recent member of the family. Picked him up in Hoenn of all places; some kid had a older Sprigatito couple that produced eggs he couldn’t take care of any more Pokémon. Might as well be a Zorua with how much he plays tricks and helps Gossamer break into the Poképuff jar. Arceus has blessed him with cuteness so as to soften the blow, so it seems.
Splishy (Vaporeon, Docile nature) (Caught with Net Ball): Raised and her brother Gossamer together ever since I caught them both as Eevees in the wild (I ran out of luxury balls, and resorted to using a net ball. Ironic that she evolved into a Vaporeon.) Four-time champion of the Brackish Town Cake-Eating Contest, Snorlax division.
Sammi (Luxio, Hasty nature) (Caught with Poké Ball): Ex-show Pokémon and Sinnoh Cute Ribbon winner, Ultra division. Mostly acts like my feral little beastie and zoomie extraordinaire. Very regularly playing with Maples, and is unofficially his big sister at this point. Had the sharpest cuddles learning curve.
Noggin (Galarian Slowpoke, Naive nature) (Caught with Quick Ball): Was given him at an old computer programming gig, and kept the little goober around because he makes me laugh. He’s also found his niche as a berry farmer (mostly because he likes eating them lmao)
I’m hoping to meet some online friends, because the traveler lifestyle isn’t great for making friends IRL. Currently living in Kalos if anyone wants to hang out or make snacks together around there!

actually I'm gonna talk about genshin characters in elnea kingdom so hard so right now
lisa is definitely a galphin scholar but i think she spends more of her time with miara in the library than she does doing like... anything? dhdh she could be scholar guru or even dragoon but she doesnt because lisa is well... lisa hfhehe.
albedos also a scholar but he does actually spend time checking out the ruins and investigating, as well as gathering mushrooms and stuff for his own studies. his sister klee is training for the calvary selection tournament (after she graduates of course) and he helps her get through the forest trail. klee is definitely a future fishing master dbdhsh
sucrose is a musketeer but she's working on becoming a scholar. spends a lot of her time foraging or with miara too. mostly with miara and the fossils.
jeans the roselles knight captain, with kaeya and eula being imperial knights and amber being a member of the calvary. noelle applies for the calvary every year but loses around the semifinals. she could probably win a spot as a scholar with the amount of adventure points she has dhdhdh
diluc was a knight with jean but he quit and now spends his time on adventures & in wialas tavern keeping an eye on travelers. he's most busy during the harvest festival because everyone is clamoring to try his pom wine drinks. crepus was a member of the farmers association (he was actually rep, then later on the council too) so diluc is very familiar with pom fruit.
fischl is training to be a musketeer and goes adventuring with bennett and razor, but bennett always dies on adventures and razor is honestly only here for his friends. bennett and razor are the first kids of some dhorme mountain corp families so they'll inherit spots in the corp.
diona spends all her time at wialas tavern, but she lives in the suburbs. she'll probably end up working there and moving to fountain st. either that or she'll work at yano market.
rosaria and barbara are both acolytes (haha i get to shape the game to my will) but rosaria doesn't try much. she at least does take care of the temple flowers and makes perfume, but she's never there for services or prayer. barbara however does and is on track for becoming curate & eventually priest (another haha i get to shape the game to my will)
mona is a traveler trying to save up money for citizenship by taking quests from wiala and the yano market stall owners. eventually diluc will pay the fee for her and she'll start hanging out with miara in the library too! she's very interested in the history of the kingdom. she'll work at the market eventually.
venti might be a member of the pantheon but idk who because im not familiar with the lore dhehhwfh I like the idea of him being a stand in for sol just because he'd have a ton of fun on astral day with the kids pretending to be him. but yeah either that or he's a member of the royal family, probably the crown prince. he's spending his days as a normal citizen until the day his father or mother (im on the fence for who it'll be bc part of me wants it to be decarabian or andrius and the other part wants it be istaroth even though it's not confirmed dbsbshsb) passes and he has to ascend to the throne. spends a lot of time in the plaza regardless, and in the tavern.
traveler is a traveler fbhdhshbl they're taking commissions from wiala and the stall owners too. i think they'd come and go instead of getting citizenship, and i think they'd bring back cool stuff for their friends. idk what paimon is though dhehsh their younger sibling??? an ihm??? hjHHdh
if the traveler ever decides to stay though they're definitely joining the imperial knights ^^

If they had a kid meme / / @alsquiet
mountain & copia !
Name: virgo
Gender: afab, nb she/they/doesn't care
General appearance: mid-height, probably somewhere close or at six foot tall, perhaps give some inches? (i could go up to six foot five) light brunette long hair, smaller horns than mountain - lithe but strong bodied, not very shapely but also has somewhat of a hipline. skin tone matches mountains, & they have one eye matching mountain's & one eye the colour of copia's good eye (glassy blue/green) probably has sharper jaw/longer nose like copia. little fangs. large hands, wide digging claws. soft, sometimes blank or vacant appearance.
Personality: they take after mountain, with copia's with sprinkled in. a bit dry & sparse, but there nonetheless. they have a hard time relating (due to both their parent's genetics). they're quiet, observant and calm most of the time. copia & mountain both have anxiety i would say, but vigo has more than mountain & less than copia. easily unsettled, scared of fire. they hide things. whether in the dirt, or the wall, or anywhere.
Special talents: virgo, lives up to the namesake, in the sense that the ground they walk/touch on becomes fertile. the ministry could harvest their own crops and feed their own and virgo could bring them bounties unlike the luckiest farmer could imagine. they dig well, due to their claws.
Who they like better: mountain i think, because mountain makes sense. they love copia, & they love to spend time with him. but he can be a bit overwhelming, and agitate their anxiety. i think they bond on their ghoul level with mountain, but they also very much appreciate copia's humanity and his ability to be so loving.
Who they take after more: mountain, looks and personality.
Personal headcanon: copia insisted they do a ritual to have mountain's genes just as much a part of the surrogate process if this were ever to happen?? i think mountain may have had pause but copia was insistent.
omega & ifrit
Name: Hamal, or Arietis Ghoul (hamal = brightest star in Aries, as omega is named for the brightest star in pegasus. quintessence style name with fire sprinkled in)
Gender: male
General appearance: i think generally quintessence genes are stronger. i think he ended up a bit more humanoid, with a more human-esque face than omega. same deep black coloured skin like omega, with glowing white eyes. but he has if's hair & ram horns, which are also white like omega's horns. he has like, more body hair too to make up for omega's fur. he's very conventionally attractive, fit and scaled to a more typical size (also more like ifrit in that way)
Personality: oh he's ifrit's kid 100% - dumb of ass, pure of heart, well meaning fuckboy. but he's more naturally .. like, he's got a more uppity way about carrying himself from omega & his quintessence. he's also cocky/confident, which isn't infallible by any means but i think he likes to think it is. he's super good at everything he does naturally and he pranks people all the time.. he gets lots of ire from omegs for being a little shit but he makes up for it in like, sheer... basically being fucking gifted.
Special talents: hamal could be a multi-ghoul. can do lead or rhythm work on the guitar, can probably sing. would be a shoe-in for the band. he's also a master of his fire element. he can conjure fire, control it - amongst other things. he also prolly quintessence magic but i don't have a lot of hc's about that, yet.
Who they like better: ifrit, i think he has more fun with iffers & they relate better but also he does really like omega. omega is just more of a 'parent' so !! also having a quintessence as a dad? sheesh.
Who they take after more: mmmmm both. pretentious know-it-all mixed with what ifrit got goin' on. this kid needs to never be born.
Personal headcanon: omega and hamal have a soul bond (telekinetic/empathic)
rain & swiss
Name: hailey or hail ghoul (maybe noelle?) (multi precipitation, i couldn't think of a better name)
Gender: female
General appearance: longer, black hair. slim & sharp features, with big round eyes and horns like swiss. her tail is spaded, but she has inherited any of the little water features rain has. her skin-tone is kinda sickly grey, almost like it was trying to look like swiss's skin. otherwise you would never tell she's multi-element. in fact swiss is starting to believe she's all water. lithe bodied, probably on the taller side.
Personality: she's like rain. 100%, like she's basically his mini me. she gets frustrated that she's not more confident, like swiss. probably like cynical as fuck. she can't master either element, also like rain she's very alienated from water. she has an angry/moody streak like rain. second guesses herself, but is always carrying herself like she doesn't give a shit. but it more comes off as reserved shy. she's less vain than rain is though, thanks to swiss. she got his jealousy.
Special talents: she can play the bass like dad, and guitar like swiss. also probably can sing, but not conventionally well. i feel like it's a bit high. but she has no elemental control, over either element.
Who they like better: swiss because he's more of a friend and he's good at cheering her up, and !! idk swiss is i think not a natural parent.. he's definitely bad at disciplining/following through. rain has to be the bad guy.
Who they take after more: rain 1000%
Personal headcanon: she's close with copia, copia also helps her feel better about her predicament & helps her feel useful.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(art by @AkaClara1 on Twitter) 
Let’s jump right in with the main Trio of Heroes! The namesake of the comic (title still kinda sorta pending). 
INTRODUCING...
Vivian Noelle - The Mindstress
Age: 26
Birthday: October 9th
Power: The ability to feel other people’s emotions as well as letting others feel hers. Also has the ability that, when a person touches her, the person doing the touching will feel that sensation too. 
Bio:  A woman from a busybody military family and was always on the move. After most of her life moving from place to place, she has finally settled down in the city of Westwood. With moving around so much, Vivian doesn’t have a knack for certain aspects of social interaction. This doesn’t stop her from being herself and letting her thoughts out whenever she pleases. She’s assertive and straight-forward, but also easy-going and dabbles in the occasional bong hit once in a while. 
After getting her powers, she’s certainly able to understand how others are feeling, and at times, tries to act as a negotiator and tries to reason with people, despite having no prior practice of doing so. She’s gotten a job as a self-defense trainer for children in Westwood, and is great with the kiddos. Coming from a family whose mom was in the navy, and her brother in the army, she wanted to learn how to fight and defend for herself. If she needs someone to experience an emotion she currently isn’t experiencing, she has to do some emotional recall in order to convey the emotions.
- Tells Bofa jokes.
- Has a sick three-wheeled motorcycle WITH matching helmet. 
- Says “slay” when someone uses their power.
--------
Chuck Anderson - The Bonding Agent
Age: 30
Birthday: April 30th
Power: The ability to stick anything together. He can also unstick anything he initially welds together too. 
Bio: After spending several years working at his family’s mill on the edge of town, he was given the reins to run the business, albeit begrudgingly. Chuck is a hands-on man who enjoys working, believing the work he does is for the good of the community and the business. Although he still carries this ideal behind a desk, he misses being on the metaphorical frontlines of the mill. 
Chuck is very humble and somewhat soft-spoken. Although he keeps a formal demeanor for his work, he doesn’t miss a beat to occasionally goof around, especially after acquiring his powers, such as sticking papers to his arms and flapping his papery wings, or creating “abstract” sculptures out of various things in the room. He also sometimes runs the Anderson Apples stand at the monthly farmer’s market in town.  
- Would ask what “bofa” means. 
- Just wants things to go well. 
- Right amount of dad jokes. 
--------
Tulac’Fan - Tulac’Fan
Age: ???
Birthday: ??? 
Power: Being an alien.
Bio: An alien from an insectoid race called the Ellrok. With his wings he has the ability to fly. He can zip around quickly and is quite agile in his movements. He has special goggles in order for him to see while on Earth’s surface. The Ellrok have five different subspecies, which is the basis for the particular society Tulac grew up in. Tulac is a Fan, which is part of the military caste. 
He and is Classmate Cisix, an Ellrok born of the same egg batch, found out the inner workings of their society are stricter and harsher than other clusters around the planet. Tulac, overwhelmed with the truth of his culture and caste being built on a lie, decided to flee to an off-limits world: Earth. Partially for reprieve, and because he is very inquisitive about how human society functions. After meeting Chuck and Vivian, he found out that he can do some good for people, even of another species, and wants to put his Fan training to use. But Tulac’Fan knows he cannot escape from his home-life forever. 
- Cannot handle spicy food.
- Relates to moths.
- Gets human idioms mixed up easily. 
--------
This is all just basic stuff, and there’ll definitely be more information about them and other characters, settings, and everything else soon! Thanks so much for reading!

Textual Analysis - ADS (B01)
youtube
To produce a pleasant and lively setting, the video advertisement combines upbeat music, smiling faces, and sunny weather. The advertisement doesn't contain any sound effects. However, the lighting and imagery create effective representations of the character's moods. To highlight different perspectives of the scene, they drew it from several different angles. To illustrate what is happening, a variety of picture types spanning from close and far have been used. Amazingly, the advertisement was able to convey the emotions without the use of text.
HoYoLab and KFC collaborated on this concept. This information was made public online via a Tweet that featured a marketing image of the partnership with Diluc and Noelle as well as a KFC bucket bargain. In the advertisement, we see an illustration of the KFC owner promoting the glider and the chicken. Customers who purchase a bucket of Genshin Impact x KFC fried chicken will receive a code for a brand-new glider design incorporating KFC's trademark red and white colors. It's incredible how they were able to advertise both businesses in the same video. Marketing their brands is a partnership that benefits both parties. They share the space as well as the costs of advertising, including media and production. Instead of hiring people to cosplay as the characters, they opted to utilize images. Personally, I believe it is highly efficient, but some may find it "cheap." In the video's comments section, many seem to be more intrigued in the art depictions of "buff Paimon," "emotionless Aether," and "smiling Diluc," as well as the limited buckets and limited pins. This advertisement does not specifically mention the characteristics or attributes of the product, in contrast to informational advertisements It provides benefits based on perceived quality rather than the product quality . This message's objectives are to welcome newcomers to the Genshin community and to boost the KFC business.
This advertisement is great because it leaves a positive impression and entices viewers to check it out for themselves. The advertisement uses accurate camera angles and lighting settings. It stands out whenever the appropriate amount of humor is used.  Although I believe the concept is strong. Including more businesses, each with a different message and target audience in mind, even if there is only one company involved, advertising can be challenging. In addition, players in China were so eager to acquire the Noelle and Diluc crossover mementos as a result of the enormous audience on both organizations that the developers were forced to cancel the event due to long lineups and overcrowding.
youtube
The song features catchy music that the audience adored. It was also influenced by the Bible, a well-known Filipino folk song, and an animated movie. The commercial's audio and lighting matched the plot's vibe. Furthermore, the friendly ambiance of this film emphasizes the hardship and success. The advertisement shows a scene where farmers are using flashlights to tend to coffee plants in the dark. To present different perspectives of the scene, they shot it from various angles.
According to Gian Nealega, associate creative director at Dentsu Jayme Syfu. Nescafe is related to the big company known as NESTLÉ. Nescafe is a combination of the terms NESTLÉ, which means "miracle," and café, which means "coffee." The Nescafé logo is a red mug with the word "Nescafé" printed vertically on it. This shade highlights energy. Personally, I find it to be really efficient how one song was able to draw everyone in and relate all of their difficulties. The concept that Nescafé provided for the Babangon campaign was a logical extension of Nescafé's past campaigns that emphasized the bangon idea and indicated that we must advance. It compelled everyone to address the daily reality. Why do we get up each morning knowing that we will be faced with tedious tasks and problems? It encourages individuals to reflect on their life's purpose and raises issues about existence itself. Due to the possibility of a connection to their struggles, it enhances people's desire to purchase the product. These farms were created with dedication and passion by the farmers, and they wanted to showcase this to the world through this advertisement. It motivated people to want to improve their nations and communities. Nescafe Philippines has provided us with some of their most memorable catchphrases, such as "Para kanino ka bumabangon?," which undoubtedly had a significant impression on several Filipinos. The objective of the Nescafé PLAN project was to create an advertising campaign that highlights Nescafé's ongoing efforts to support local farmers in improving their yield and profit margins from coffee farming.
One uplifting line from the song is concealed; it surpasses the context of the coffee advertisement and takes greater significance during coronavirus outbreak. The theme of the material is to motivate and inspire us to have the strength to wake up for our loved ones, "At ang pagbangon natin ang gigising sa mundo." The majority of us have gotten more self-assured because to this media's inspirational impact. According to my Father, their product is delicious and flavorful. This is an effective strategy to carry out the advertisement.
