sagau with the language barrier issue except... the creator is sick and tired of trying to ask for things so they do everything themself.
and it gives their followers mass anxiety bc they can't even ask what you're doing... bc they know they won't understand anything...

Like u wake up under the Irminsul, and u think ur hallucinating a goddamn gacha game for like a solid 5 minutes, or ur lucid dreaming,Â
but once u actually took what felt like hours to process that u might actually be in fucking Genshin Impact-
Nahida came running from, somewhere?? Its kinda just very floaty dreamy in here so, unclear, sheâs beaming with a giddy little smile (đ)
Itâs⌠so much more than what her game model could manage.
I mean, you knew that, of course you did, but- to see the tiny goddess smiling in person, her cute chubby arms waving in the air, her cheeks all plump with baby fat from her excited smile, pretty green eyes that sparkle only in the way excited toddlers do-
It was justâŚwow. đĽş
You canât help it, her sheer carefree excitement, exactly like a child but you know that she must be really overwhelmed with joy if shes letting herself act like that so blatantly, you feel ur muscles tug gently into a smile, you try to muffle it but ur happiness leaks out anyway
She's panting as she stumbles on short chubby legs to reach you.
After just staring at you with those big green clover eyes for a few seconds, she physically shakes her head to knock herself out of it,
Nahida places her hand over her heart, and bows elegantly, going back to looking at you with a small but bright smile, her voice is kind of quiet, muffled in a soft way, much like her game depiction,
âHzozn! R'ev yvvm dzrgrmt gl nvvg blf! R wrwm'g gsrmp blf dlfow wvhxvmw fmgro R dzh zg ovzhg z uvd gslfhzmw bvzih low!â *
âŚNahida begins to look a little concerned⌠her eyes get impossibly bigger.
âŚOh no.
â§
Nahida had apparently quickly spread the news that you canât understand them, but luckily it seems like all the characters still know you!
Alhaitham is pretty much a constant by your side, you knew he was vaguely studying linguistics in the akademiya⌠but that knowledge still didnât prepare you to be intensely stared at with his diamond pupils for hours. đ
Then heâd tap your shoulder or something, and you quickly picked up that he wanted you to just try and say something.
Then he would scribble for hours.
Turns out they can understand you about as much as you understand Teyvat language (s? You canât even tell if there are multiple languages, thatâs how unrecognizable this language is, damn)
The more extroverted or friendly people, like Venti, Yoimiya, Kazuha, Jean, Noelle, Amber, Xingqiu, Hu Tao, Zhongli, Ganyu, Barbara, Beidou, Collei, Ayaka, Gorou, Nilou
At least attempt to talk to you, and try very hard to watch what you gesture with your hands or body language
They're pretty much ready to play charades at all times for you lol
Interestingly enough, they only ever understood you when you typed in the chat (with other ppl)
But even then not immediately,Â
Sumeru scholars basically had to make a whole new department (regardless of how much you play with others) to decipher your ancient language (to them) like those old clay tablets with cuneiform weâre still translating?
Like that, your words appear in elemental magic heavy places (so like that abyss lang. Itâll appear on walls or structures, so like Andriusâ stone colosseum? in Wolvendom gained some of your chat replies inscribed and glowing a rainbow of colors on the top edges of the walls)
Much like the abyss language you see throughout genshin, most Teyvat scholars (across nations/internationally) agreed your language is the oldest form of language known!
Itâs like modern languages having roots in older ones, like English with Latin, greek, or German roots, or Sanskrit and the Prakrit for Hindi language today
âŚso of course no one really speaks the root languages anymore, because theyâre so old, so those ancestors who spoke those languages would have little to no understanding of their modern counterpartsâŚ
â
Occasionally if you turned your mic on for whatever reason there would be a gentle whisper on the winds in Mondstadt of your voice,
or your laugh in the waves washing ashore in Inazuma and Fontaine,
your startled noises or screams from battling bosses mixed with the landslides in the mountains of Liyue
So they know what you sound like, but that doesnât mean they understood your language :/
Nahida had been hoping that youâre actual physical form being here would help improve the language barrier
But unfortunately, those things remained the same, but at least you were physically here to talk to now and give more content for the scholars to study rather than them having to make do with your snippets of language from chats
âŚso needless to say, it took you a long time to realize they viewed you as a god of sorts.
You kind of knew something was up when at least two allogenes were by your sides at all times, or eremites would replace them if they really couldnât stick around
You figured they knew you werenât nearly as combatant-ready as they were at all times, hell you obviously didnât have a vision hanging off you somewhere, and you only really had a knife strapped to a belt, courtesy of the Thirty Corps
You are still kind of convinced that the people of Teyvat, or Sumeru at least, are just pretty polite (and in the allogenes case, very kind or friendly, even people like Alhaitham or Cyno, resting bitch faces they have, seem to soften a little when theyâre walking around with you⌠maybe youâre just imagining itâŚ)
And as much as you would love to wait until they understand you to do something more fun, as you can see the frustration on Tighnariâs face (and his ears try to flatten back hehe) as he looked like he was debating heatedly with some of the Sumeru sages who insist you stay in the city
âŚso why not go?
Itâs not like theyâre going to get it anytime soon, and itâs still too frustrating for yourself to charade things or draw things for them because you canât even hear their guesses đ
You can totally handle being like the traveler too,Â
You still have access to your inventory afterall! Plus, lucky for you, you still find a pass for the Serenitea Pot in your little pocket dimension!
So now you have somewhere to sleep at night, and while most of your stuff went to the travelerâs pack, the things like Primogems
(which.. Okay now you really want primogems bc theyre so pretty and shiny irl)â¨ď¸
And other high-level things, or just objects of no use for the traveler (so basically all your hoarded level up stuff and infinite amount of weapons lol) came along with you
So you did have to wander the first week or so around the city and even commission the Adventurerâs Guild to grab you food supplies to cook with
Filling up, along with a few big waterskins, youâre off!
...and everyone collectively has a heart attack!
â
When you show up in Ghandaraville essentially all ââ¨ď¸đâşď¸â¨ď¸â on Tighnariâs doorstep-
He chokes on the tea heâd been sipping on before he opened the door lol
He looks a little frazzled so you try to just gesture with âcalm yourself small animalâ energy with your hands
âTivzgvhg Oliw! R'n- R- sld wrw blf-?! Mvevinrmw, xlnv rm, xlnv rm, ivhg! ...R mvvw gl hvmw z nroorlm ovggvih mld gl ylgs gsv vmgriv xrgb lu Hfnvif, gsv Zxgrmt Tizmw Hztv, zmw gsv Nzgiz nlhg orpvobâŚâ he began out looking at you and talking and gesturing to his small dining table (the game sucks, his house looks great and has lots of cool rooms filled with interesting plants⌠ooooâŚso pretty...)Â
But then he kinda just devolved into rambling, no need to understand, you can read the vibes and just know that's what he's doing lol
Collei eventually ducks in, and she looks a little panicked?
Sheâs quickly followed by Cyno, pushing past her to call out into the house,
His voice seems hard and stressed, looking at Tighnari, âGrtsmzir, szev blf hvvm gsv Tivzgvhg Oliw zmbdsviv, gsvb dviv hvvm xlnrmt gl Tszmwziezeroov ozhg-âÂ
Cyno stops and blinks.
Colleiâs mouth is slightly dropped open, she also just, blinks.
You blink.Â
Tighnari blinks tiredly, he looks like heâd rather be done for the day, you think.
The doctor sighs, and moves his head to nod towards the other dining seats.
â
Sumeru foods are so much better looking in real life, and theyâre so good too, your practically bloated by the end of dinner,Â
As a thank you, bc u cant say it obv, you just gesture for Tighnari to stay sitting, and he gives you a raised eyebrow and a suspicious ear twitch
But stays still, and you reach out to finally hit the eight-pointed star hovering over his, and all playable characters chests at all times.
Like you suspected, it brings up a holographic character menu, but rather than his full model, it kind of hovers in front of Tighnariâs face, replacing his old 3D model self with framing the real thing for a portrait just in front of his face
The poor Denro user nearly jumps a foot out of his chair as he looks in shock at your screen, you do the same âchillll boyâ gesture with your hands and press his shoulders for a second to remind him to not run off or panic
Cyno and Collei had done the dishes and put up leftovers, and are now standing behind Tighnari, watching with equally wide eyes,
â...Dszg ziv gsvb wlrmt gl blf?
Cynoâs voice is even deeper and quieter than usual, you feel goosebumps run up your spine
âZiv blf tvggrmt yovhhvw, Nzhgvi Grtsmzir?!â Colleiâs sweet voice is also hushed like sheâs witnessing something sacred, Tighnari gently shakes his head negatively in response, his shoulders shrugging,
âNzbyv? R uvvo... z orggov hgilmtvi, zmw nb Erhrlm rh zxgrmt fk zh dvooâŚâ
Though heâs replying, Tighnariâs eyes havenât once left your ancient magic? technology device? hovering in front of him,
and as he crosses his arms and squints to try and look closer at everything floating in front of him, you can see the childlike gleam of awe in his green eyes, (so cute) in fact, now that you glance up and look, both Collei and Cyno have the same quietly excited and fascinated sparkle in their eyes too
With a displeased sneer, you chuck his old level one bow into the material grinding spots, hope he wasnât attached to thatâŚ
Oh well, heâll like the new one better, afterall, with no characters, all your best weapons and artifacts are ready to use!
With a small smile of reassurance, you finally finish gearing Tighnari up, tap a miniature version of that 8-point star in the corner like an âXâ button, and it retreats like a classic TV setđş turning off into his chest, he startles but then carefully stands
You decide to just start making decisions bc its worked out so far ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
And grab his hand and haul him out into the forest, Collei letting out a surprised squeak, her and Cyno hurrying after
You reach the nearest clearing, and gesture at Tighnari like a bow and arrow firing, he gets it, and your glad he already trusts you, because he doesnât take long to summon his bow
He takes aim at a smaller tree about two cars length away
You can feel them all holding their breathe, as Tighnari charges it with Dendro, the arrowhead glowing, (it looks so cool and badass irl god you feel envious even tho ur already here-)
The ranger lets it fly, it streaks neon green, whistling through the air, it hits the tree-
and it fucking explodes.
Vines and leaves and the trees roots all rapidly swell like theyre filled with water, like it literally got hit by a superhero with plant powers, which, not that far off actually.
The green floating Dendro seeds make a ring around the tree its so full of elemental energy-
You give a wild grin, you still got it, hell yeah. >:)
Your grin widens as you look over at Tighnari, Collei, and Cyno
Cyno has a smirk lighting up his face, eyes eager, Colleiâs jaw has dropped and sheâs just frozen staring as the tree finally settles from the burst of the dendro powered arrow
âŚTighnari has lowered his bow, and his mouth is only slightly open, his ears perked straight up into the air, shaking with excitement? Happiness? Interest? You donât know how peopl-animal-hybrid ears work,
and you STILL cant talk to any of them to ask what they thought, so looks will have to do >:/
Tighnari is the first to move, his head snapping over to look at you, the brightest, kinda feral tbh, smile taking over his face-
âBlf pmld, dv xzm'g fmwvihgzmw blf, zmw blf fh, bvg R xzm'g dzrg gl hvv dszg rm gsv dliow blf'iv tlrmt gl wl mvcg. Blf'iv znzarmt."
⌠and you just đ? Cool!
And give a thumbs upđLMAO
â
Bonus:
Alhaitham was literally running around Sumeru City trying to find you when you left, tho you did try and leave a translatable-in-3-to-5-business days-note, he didnât have time to translate that because you were gone.
Or worse, lost in the city, and he would never forgive himself if he lost you, esp as Acting Grand Sage-
Kaveh got a letter a day and a half later from Tighnari letting them know you were having a sleepover in Ghandarvaville lol
Kaveh also had to hunt down Alhaitham to give him said news, then force his roommate to go sit or lay down for the rest of the day to recover lmao
(Haitham honestly kinda freaked Kaveh out bc heâs never seen him that... desperate, it was like seeing a statue emote lol)
âĄ
ARE YOU KIDDING WE ALMOST HIT LIMIT AGAIN?!
Bro has anyone else had this problem???
I literally had to switch from PC to mobile and copy and paste it there to get all my shit in and tumblr not throw a hissy fit???!!!
FUCKING TUMBLR- SUCK MY BIG FAT- đšđš UGH
ANYWAYYYY SO I FINALLY CAVEDÂ
And started doing ciphers for when you dont get teyvatâs language! I meant to do something fun like this for awhile but I wasnât sure if that would be kind of annoying, but if youâre interested in learning what they actually say (which the whole point of this is that dw it doesnt rlly matter lol) hereâs a hint:
*hint = Atbash
:> good luck!
Wish me luck on my art exhibition today!! Then Iâll be homefreeeee đ
Safe Travels,

OKAY ONAY WHERE DO I BEGIN?!? Okay so I also have a grand librarian in my script like your Helios!! I call him Alder (Al-dear if youâre curious on how I pronounce it) except he is like a plant like being that has to wear this chocker to keep his humanoid shape and he lives in a invisible library above the seas, just watching and recording Teyvatâs history and has a copy of everything thatâs ever been written (yes, includes fanfics) and he has became a recluse due to reasons in the past. No one knows where the library is and many believe it doesnât exist, but it does! It just likes to move to different places
The biggest thing I canât wait to experience is that in my DR I know Rhinedottir before I was murdered (thereâs a LOT to unpack with that) and that she went by a different name back then when I knew her. In my DR she despises the archons with everything she got because they destroyed her home country that she helped build, desecrated her dead friends (me, the god of Teyvat) name by spewing nonsense scripture, and she sees them as nothing but cheap imitations of a real god
Thereâs so much lore in my script man, I have like 15 pages on google doc dedicated to my lore đ
itâs so convoluted and complex that it confuses me đ
đ
but hey, I like it đ
Sincerely, King truck-kun
Ps, PLEASE RAMBLE ABOUT YOUR DR, I love hearing about other peopleâs scripts and what they are hoping to accomplish!!
oki i'm finally answering this it took so long bc i didn't have the spoons to give you the response you deserve
i fcuking love all that your mind is too powerful save some for the rest of us (i say like i haven't created thousands of years of lore for fanfics before lmaooo)
honestly that's so much tho i'm impressed
as for my dr i need to make a new script (i've just kinda been winging it lately which has been causing conflicting affirmations bc i just say whatever comes to mind rippp)
uh but i'll ramble about my original dr and current ideas below the cut!!
ok so my original dr was in my hero academia bc i've seen a lot of content from it (i kin deku too hard to watch the show bc ~trauma~) and i liked the idea. but i kinda made it too much like a self indulgent story and not somewhere i'd actually like to be so good thing i didn't shift there in the end dodged a fucking bullet (oh? you created a dr where you experience heavy trauma? do you feel like your current trauma isn't enough to justify being cared for and so you want to break down in front of your comfort characters in a way that you can finally receive the love and care you want/need, but don't feel you deserve, in a way that you can stomach accepting it?)
i really loved working on my quirk tho! it's called interface and i'd gotten it bc my quirk factor was damaged and so i got misidentified as quirkless until i'd been taken for tests to try and make the ultimate quirk which i survived bc my broken factor basically acted like a vessel for the new ones, creating a semi-sentient quirk that can collect the genetic data responsible for quirks from others and recreate their quirks for my own. i can also fuse, upgrade, and mutate them from that point. i really love evolving power replication my beloved
most of the dr was about hanging out in japan and making friends tho, sometimes interrupted by my hero-in-training and vigilante lives. honestly real fun and i might write a story about it someday
as for the dr i'm gonna script
idk if i want it set in any fandom or just plain our world without or post covid (in case i slip up and mention it) but i'm thinking about being a rich streamer and cosplayer on parent's money, living or at least regularly visiting japan, or england bc nostalgia. gonna fucking c6 and r5 every character and weapon in genshin so help me god.
idk if i wanna add in modern sagau elements but i might? kinda leaning more away from it as time passes tho especially since i've been having trouble getting the energy to play. or obey me (i just started playing a few days ago and i'm HOOKED, seven timing the literal avatars of the seven deadly sins lmaooo mc is a mega chad and i want that energy) but y'know that's just a new obsession that might fizzle out too soon for me to really want it
gonna have two dogs, milky the samoyed & yuki the akita inu and they shall be my babies. maybe a ragdoll cat or maine coon? both. both is good.
i'm struggling on people in my life, but thinking about basing my father on the one in father i don't want this marriage bc the VIBES
might do modeling on the side too bc i'm beautiful and people deserve to see my beauty uwu especially since i'm leaning more toward vtuber
the most unrealistic part: a garden for the dogs somewhere in tokyo (shibuya or akihabara i think)
but i also like the idea of magic or powers being a thing but like they might disrupt life y'know? i've been playing with the idea of a marvel dr where they're like 'we want you' and i'm like 'i just wanna play video games damn' bc that sounds like a fun interaction
gonna have major main character vibes i don't even care, i'm past the point of being embarrassed about being self indulgent, cringe culture is dead
the hardest part is deciding on the people i know bc it's gonna help connect but i've literally never had a healthy irl friendship in my life and i have no basis for it jfksldjgksldhgdsklg help
fjksdlg uhhh that's all i can think about rn <3
