Genshin impact is so painful now
I love this game to death, the open world and its lore, the dragons, the gameplay, and the land of liyue reeled me in. And ofc Kaeya was one of the major reasons I started playing. I've been playing the game like maybe a month since it was released. So, like the launch era (yes I take pride in that it was the best era).
Mondstadt was an amazing introduction, to the familiar buildings of Germany. And the beautiful design of the culture mixed with the signature of genshin's design made the characters brilliant. Now the first story event (reconciling stars??) made me heavily excited about all the lore that was hidden ingame.
When I got to liyue I was glued to the game, forever, I thought. This was china from a whole nother perspective for me as a Moroccan. And to see such an elegant (not heavily sexualized) character like Ninguang in that cutscene. Yo, I fell in love. Childe was cute too, but then the man that got me everything or anything related to excitement and admiration came upon us. Zhongli. Oh, he was the package, with a beautiful outfit reminding u of the Chinese culture as it has its own modern genshin signature twist. Stunning. It's such characters that get me obsessed with games. Next to all of the intricate details and lore plus gameplay.
To finish off, Inazuma. That was one beautiful region, from the flora to the architecture. The temples and that beautiful quest. Ayaka's design is by far one of my favourites. Her design has her culture written all over it and it's beautiful. In Inazuma, we have so many characters inspired by their Japanese ancestry and it looks stunning and recognizable.
But then the sumeru leaks dwindled along. I was super excited for sumeru, that was my downfall.
After seeing these 3 beautifully represented cultures i was so naïvely excited for Sumeru. And thats expected right, i was rightfully excited to see the beautiful culture of the middle east, north africa and SEA being equally represented like the other three.
But thats when i heard al haitham an important arab figure whose name is now being occupied by a white buff tech man with a fandom who couldnt even pronounce his name right and call him habibi ?
Tumblr media
ATTENTION: REPRESENTING. SWANA
Unrecognizable. In no way was the representation of Sumeru as intricately thought out as with the other regions. We have been colorised, orientalized and sexualized once again.
I'm gonna start with the one hurting me the most, Dehya.
(Listen i only heard her name and i was so excited to see my culture in this game i was jumping and ecstatic to see representation--- wait she is a cat girl warrior tf)
Dehya's name is inspired by Dihya, the name of an Amazigh Algerian military queen (Kahena). So quite a name to live up to. The Imazighen (us North Africans) barely get any representation as it is. And when we do, we become drawn out as barbarians or savages (for example another "name" for us is Berbers which the Romans called us).
Now what does Dehya look like huh? Yes indeed she has been revealed to be some warrior cat with an wild and savage look. And as an amazigh i hoped to see at least a little of our beautiful culture respresented. Yet i didint recognize any cultural aspects in comparison to litteraly any character in this game.
While we actually wear alot of beautiful jewelry! And we also have beautiful tribal tattoos, and Dihya herself is such a stunning figure to take refrence from.
Tumblr media
But instead we get practically nothing. So we are now standing up for her. And yet there are people complaining against us saying that sexualization happens to every character. But Dehya is litteraly oversexualized on such a level that no cultural aspect is recognizable nor a point of interest.
Look im aware of the sexualization of female characters in games especially in gacha's. And its mostly the reason why i dont play alot of them. Yet in genshin its more mild and the design still upholds cultural aspects. Like with Inazuman characters; https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/o7eifv/inazuma_characters_design_analysis_spoilers_for/
And alot of Liyue characters;
This is why i ask of the bare minimum. To analyze and take interest in the amazigh culture. So Dehya's design could be oh so much more elevated and still badass. Because we as well would love to see a badass cat warrior with actual amazigh tattoos, clothes and jewelry.
Unfortunatly she isint the only problematic character.
Nilou, is an Persian dancer. Whilst having culturally accurate horns from the Sassanian period and a burst move from the gorgeous Persian dance. She has still been sexualized and orientalized. Dancers have always had their stomachs covered. Its culture, it's beautiful. By exposing the belly it's unrecognizable as Persian and becomes mixed with the Arab belly dancing outfit. If they want to sexualise her that badly then exposing the belly is the worst move- it erases the culture, it mixes with another culture, it sexualizes and orientalizes. It becomes a problem.
(Cr: demonscallme on twitter)
Tighnari, an amazigh name supposedly Moroccan. With ears from the fennec an animal from the western desert. Other than that his outfit and design is all over the place. In genshin they are more than capable of making modern day clothing mix with cultural themes. Yet this is not working at all. Nothing is recognizable nor representative of anything amazigh nor arab. Its just a jumbled mess. Disappointing in comparison to the modern clothing and cultural mixture of design with for example zhongli.
Dori is the worst of all the characters. She is orientalized and sexualized. No one encounters representation except seeing a  fucking joke. She has no cultural aspects that are recognizable instead she is the spitting image of an orientalized character. They have a huge region and countries with countless cultures to take interest in. Yet they went with none and followed stereotypes. Her clothing is also grossly sexualized for a child model. It's disappointing how we are being spat on, our cultures are being treated like a joke.
Now a major argument against anything related to the word orientalism had been "it's fictional".
Stereotyping and racism are stated under orientalism. When we say it's racist, stereotyped, and so orientalized it is wrong, it should not be spread around as if it's nothing. It hurts to see and it's disrespectful. So we SWANA deserve just like the german, Chinese and Japanese to be respected and upheld with the same input into our designated region. This game isin't so fictional anymore.
Colourism, all characters until now are pale. Not denying it. We have in the swana region, people of all colours. If u are gonna represent characters from that region we expect different skin tones. To be recognizing oneself is an amazing experience. And it would be representing swana perfectly. It does not hurt it only embraces. That's why we are speaking up about this. Look I'm willing to wait, to take this back, the moment we get a broad set of people from different skin colours. Its not hard to do, it does not contradict anything. So why are people still pressed? Aren't we supposed to break free from the stupid standard of the pale is elevated. There are white Arabs yes, I'm not saying we can't have any pale characters. But with a region as broad as the swana region. There are bound to be some different skin tones and that should not be ignored.
To conclude,
we want to have equal input into our region as there has been done with the previous three. We want people to see our beautiful cultures. And above all, we want to be respected. Yes, we cannot have everything, but it does not hurt to try. It does not hurt to speak out. And you who are against this notion, you are not achieving freemogems out of this. You are not changing our minds. You are not the only one in the world. Broaden your perspectives. For the sake of an exceptional game.

Nᴏᴛᴇ: This will be the final Genshin smut for now!! I'm gonna slowly start introducing new fandoms for you guys so this is the last one for a bit. Thank you for the lovely request @lxvinglyyourz!
AFAB!Reader x Raiden Shogun/Ei - My Precious Angel
Tumblr media
For the past few days, you were spending your free time with the lovely archon. The Raiden Shogun was your girlfriend and since of your travels, you weren't able to see her until now. So at the moment you were in her mansion, cuddling her in your lap as you played with her long luscious hair. Raiden had smiled down at her lover and tapped on your shoulder a bit before catching your attention.
"Dear.. Could I try being the dom for tonight?" She asked softly with a nervous smile, from what you saw she really wanted to do this and you didn't want to disappoint her too badly. So you nodded and walked her towards their bedroom, closing the door and laying her on the bed.
"Go ahead then, Ei. Take control of me." You smirked at her as she got up and kissed you passionately, your hands running up and down each other's bodies. Raiden had pulled away and smiled at her girlfriend before she placed a collar and leash on you. The Archon had taken her dress off and smirked at you as she pulled you closer to her cunt. "Cmon my angel, lick my pussy for me." She asked of you as you were on your knees and in front of her, licking her pussy clean slowly while her moans filled the room.
An hour had passed while you both ate each other out, you could see Ei slowly give up on being the dom. She wanted you badly and you loved to please her. "Oh~ please my angel, just fuck me~ I can't handle being the dom much longer~" She begged you as you were putting your strapon. You were still wearing the collar as you lined up the silicone cock and slid into her pussy.
She started moaning, wrapping her arms and legs around you as you fucked her gently, wanting to take your time with this and enjoy her satisfied face. "Such a cute Archon~ being my bitch like a good girl~" You teased her and kissed her neck while thrusting a bit faster, pinning her down while she could feel the pleasure course throughout her. It felt amazing to her, and she loved you so much for being with her.
"Oh Archons, do I love you baby~" Raiden moaned softly before she started kissing you passionately. You had kissed back and chuckled softly while holding onto her, you kept thrusting a bit more before you heard her squirt all over your fake cock. She moaned in the kiss and held you tight as you continued to makeout with each other.
"I love you too my precious angel.. From Celestia and back, I love you Raiden." You whispered in her ear and held her in your arms, kissing her cheek softly as the two of you rested for the night.

i love you, tenderly, tragically
in which you loved him tenderly and tragically until the very end
Tumblr media
ও you loved kaedehara kazuha, and you knew that complete certainty
ও but you also knew that he didn't, and would never, love you back
ও which is why it came as no surprise to you when you were suddenly hit with a series of sputtering coughs and petals
ও you were happy that kazuha was out on the crux, travelling the seas
ও you didn't want him to ever know how you felt
ও you didn't want to see the disappointment in his eyes at your feelings
ও and selfishly, you prayed that he wouldn't come back until you had long since passed on
ও you couldn't bare to see him and carry the feeble hope that maybe, just maybe, he might be able to love you back and save you
ও so in each of your letters to him, you acted normal
ও in each of your letters, you were as tender and kind and loving as you always had been
ও you ensured that he would never find out about your disease
ও and he never did find out.
ও he never found out that whenever he called you an amazing friend, the petals would get a little more choked up in your throat than usual
ও he never found out that when he addressed you as his best friend in each of his letters, the coughs would viciously tear through your throat, each even more violent than the last
ও you ensured that he would never realize what you were suffering through and why. because if you couldn't be loved and happy, at least he could be

The Dance of two swords🍂
Just a little Kazuha childhood friends turned lovers story🍁
Mildly edited, apologies for mistakes✨
You were the granddaughter of Amenoma Tuogo, one of the many destined to continue the tradition of your art. Patience and willpower is the backbone of your art. Training day in and day out was your way. There was once four other arts similar to your own, carrying sacred ways of the sword through time. But when the scorned child of a god decimated your arts 500 years ago, only two survived to continue the path. Amenoma and Isshin. Amenoma survived near unscathed while the Isshin barely made it out alive, with one swordsman left using its its ways in this day and age.
You spent a lot of time in your childhood being pushed to train with the last remaining Isshin art user, a boy named Kazuha. You found Isshin art to be quite flowery and silly. Rather than the persistence and skill you were used to, Isshin art was all about connecting with your blade and finding a balanced mindset. You couldn’t believe people fought in such a way. The boy himself was just as bad. Always drifting off into his thoughts and speaking in riddles. Your grandfather forced you to continue helping the boy despite your misgivings, always telling you the same thing.
“Kazuha walks the warriors path alone, while you have many at your side.”
You were older now, and had become strong. The boy you fought was no longer a child, and could on occasion best you. The sun was shining hot in Inazuma, though the strong winds from the sea made it comfortable. All that could be heard on the shore was the lapping of waves and rhythmic clanging of two swords. Your heart beat fast as Kazuha flew into the air and you momentarily lost him. He was setting up for another win, but you wouldn’t have that. He had used this trick on you one too many times. You spun around, predicting exactly where he would land. Your swords crossed sending vibrations right to your heart. Kazuha’s eyes lit like fire as you continued to move together in synchronicity.
“There is nothing more thrilling than the dance of two blades that are destined to cross.” He spoke poetically, making your eyes roll.
“Again with those riddles? You’re distracted.” You moved in on his open area and landed your blade at his neck. “I win.” You smirked and stepped away, watching as he grinned and held out his hand.
“Well done. The Amenoma art truly is formidable.” He spoke, voice full of genuine respect.
“That’s because we focus on the blade itself not on our relationship with the blade.” You retort at his kindness.
“Isn’t the passion and care I see every time you swing your blade the same thing done differently?” He had you there. You suddenly realised that while the dance of swords thrilled Kazuha, it was the dance of words that kept you training with him. Your grandfather told you long ago that Kazuha was ready to walk alone, but you kept it to yourself and continued to see him. You never quite knew why until now.
Your thoughts were interrupted by Hajime, your grandfather’s disciple, running down the bank screaming.
“KAZUHA!!! Tomo has challenged the Shogun to a duel!!” He heaved between breaths. Immediately you looked to the white haired boy next to you as he took off running. You had to stop him. He was about to get himself killed trying to stop Tomo. You knew better than to get yourself involved in this, the Shogun would see it as a crime to interfere, but you found yourself running after Kazuha. You had almost caught up when something hit your head. You fell like a sack of sunsettias. You looked up to see Hajime standing over you.
“Im sorry. Your grandfather told me not to let you go after him.” His voice was gentle and remorseful. You cursed him as you faded out of consciousness, wondering if you would ever see Kazuha again.
Now you were a woman, you had become a force of nature. You were had not seen your dearest friend in years and you do not need to train at the beach everyday anymore, but you still go just to dance with him again. Even if he was just a ghost. Just as you began to kick yourself for being so wishy washy, something cold touched the back your neck. You gasped and swung around ready to fight.
“You’re distracted. I win” The white haired boy you remember was now a man, but behind his eyes lied the same Kazuha you remember. The same Kazuha you loved.
While you wanted to run into his arms and finally confess, instead you found your sword hitting his. The familiar rhythm filled the shore once more, like a song in your heart. Each clash in perfect time and timbre you both grinned, glad he had found his way home.
“I have missed our dance.” He spoke, trying to keep it short. He remembered how you hated him getting distracted.
“I missed you.” You admitted. You dropped your sword, causing Kazuha to freeze. He had never seen you concede a fight like that. “It was never the dance that thrilled me. It was always you.” You filled the empty space between you and took hold of his cheek. You stared into his eyes, savouring the gems you thought you wouldn’t see again. His arm wrapped around you and his sword dropped, gracefully landing atop of your own.
“So you’re saying we are two swords destined to cross? Now who’s the poet?” His lips tickled yours as he teased you. Years in the making, finally the crescendo came. A kiss so magical that you believed it could carry the tune of your dance way beyond the stars, to Celestia. It felt like the whole world was singing for the dance of two swords.
Thank you for reading 🌷
