Sooooo I did the new world quest in Genshin (spoilers in the tags)
First off, SO many insane things happened what the hell
But ALSO, they were vague enough about some details that it doesn't overthrow a lot of my lore, PLUS the lore in question was minimal/not too much of a big deal to change, so I'm not even mad about it
would you ever consider putting sharzad’s description or fanart on art fight? i would love to draw her for it
Depends if I’d have to draw my own work, I think. I’m not familiar with art fight beyond having heard of it in passing so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance ehe
Drawing people is one of the art things I’m terrible at (I can do backgrounds fine though for some reason lol) and I don’t think I’m comfortable enough with the idea of putting up any drawings online for now
However, if I wouldn’t have to draw anything then I’d be more than happy to do it!
It’s still amazing to me that people love my fic itself, let alone love Sharzad enough to draw her! And I’d 100% link/repost it here if possible! (I also definitely have to link all the fanart people have made to the fic itself at some point!)
First Lohen’s quest and now Sandrone’s … the post Nod Krai arc with Sharzad is going to be FIRE
LET’S GO THEY POSTED SNEZHNAYA STUFF BEFORE I FINISHED THE EDITS WOOOOOOO

Chapter is coming later tonight -> I had to rewrite something and I couldn't do it this morning/early afternoon because of house-related business (long story short my family's moving and a photographer came today to take pictures of our house, which meant everything had to be nice, neat, and perfect)
Chapter's up! Enjoy the 5k words of chaos :)

Heyyyyy! just checking to see how you're doing :)
I saw that your currently most recent Author's Note said that you should be back from your vacation today, so I was just wondering how that went and maybe what you did n stuff.
I was also curious if you had a general estimate on if you think you might be able to post the next chapter soon or if you have to work on it more. No pressure, I'm just curious about upcoming updates :)
Yep, came back last night (long flight from Budapest T-T)
We did a river cruise on the Danube so it was a lot of historical/cultural activities starting in Germany and ending in Hungary, although my favourites were by far a lesson on the Viennese waltz and a hike to a medieval ruined castle in Visegrád which included the tower where Vlad the Impaler (the real life Dracula) was imprisoned! It was my first time in the more eastern parts of Europe and it was incredibly interesting, if a bit depressing at times
As for the next chapter, it's entirely unwritten because our cruise's schedule was busy from start to finish (I'm talking waking up at 7:00 and being busy for almost every hour of the day until 22:00), so it won't be up until next Saturday as usual, and since I have an annotated bibliography/essay proposal for a field school I'm doing in just over a month, I don't know exactly when the edited Whirling of Leaves of Petals will be up since the proposal is unfortunately a higher priority for me
Thanks for asking :)
about the fic, my friend was asking where is sharzad originally from? like where on earth?
She was from Vancouver, Canada!
Since I envisioned her as having almost zero specific knowledge of her past (so, she could remember Earth itself or Genshin/other pieces of media, but nothing about her life, family, etc), I didn't flesh out a lot about her identity pre-Teyvat, but what there was included that her name was Iris Leung, she had an older sister, and she'd been studying history and political science in order to go to law school.
Thanks for the question!
A combination of the AO3 author’s curse and unfortunately delightful midnight ideas for character development has struck me down, so I have to rewrite the entire chapter I had planned later today after I get some important stuff taken care of
(You’d really think I’d plan ahead for this but noooooooooo)
The new chapter will either come out very late tonight (EST) or tomorrow morning

(semi spoiler from newest archon quest)
I'm sooooo curious how you're gonna tackle the collei and goddess of flowers fragment part
All I can say is that it’s good news that it’s entirely within Sharzad’s character to keep that information a secret because Collei’s not in active danger from the fragment, so the previous plot isn’t changing (regarding that) besides an extra paragraph or two where Sharzad thinks about that info.
As for the future . . . just picture my pfp laughing maniacally hehehehehe
currently reading artifact descriptions and seeing the heavenly principles referred to with a capital-O Order and going waow... anxious phantom was so right....
Not the first time I would have predicted something Hoyo did hehe
GODS DAMNIT HOYO
Good news! Hoyo has NOT completely ruined everything and, in fact, made a few things quite nice for me. I still have some things to change (particularly the little [REDACTED] detail about Collei that I need to choose how to address) in the original fic, but in of itself, the plot doesn't need to change that much since a ton of this knowledge Sharzad will have is either inconsequential to the original storyline, inevitable in the long run, or something she'd keep a secret to keep from bothering anyone!
I have a three hour drive to a nearby city for a classical music concert that I've had tickets for for YEARS, so I don't think the rewrite will be up before Saturday's concert, but it's going to be up next week, I can promise that!
GODS DAMNIT HOYO
Sooooo with the new update's trailer, I have a few thoughts (this will also be in the fic's notes tomorrow):
Since we're going back to Sumeru (and there's a ton of characters coming back), I'm concerned Hoyo is about to wreck all of my plans. As a result, I don't want to post the edited fic until AFTER I play the quests (Archon and Story), just in case they throw a massive wrench in some of my plans and I have to rewrite stuff. Hoyo has a track record of doing that and I don't trust them.
Consequently, the fic's rewrite won't be posted for at least two weeks, but that gives me time to make sure it's as in line with my projections for canon as possible (preventing any retcons, rewrites, or even drastic deviations from canon in the future)
BUT more time means I can get ahead on the main fic, and that could mean I'll still be able to post chapters when I'm on vacation in the start of June (otherwise I'd need a 2 week hiatus)
So yeah, that's the big deal with all of this. I'm hoping the worst case scenario doesn't come to pass and they don't completely mess up some of the lore, but knowing Hoyo, it's entirely possible T-T

Finishing Nod Krai was a great birthday gift
Unfortunately that means I have nothing written for tomorrow, so another late update to the fic T-T
Bolero of Stones and Dragons
The chaos continues indeed !
Not gonna lie, Sharzad's design is the most difficult one, because contrary to the others, I want for her to have a different outfit for each region.
@anxiousphantom0, I would love to have some ideas for Inazuma !
Byye~
I’m (finally) playing the Nod Krai arc right now so this is going to be short but AAAAAAAAA they look amaaaaaazing
Zhongli and Childe look so menacing too holy shit AAAAAAAAAAAAA
