KEEP COMING AND GOING

Genuinely lumi you are the only person I follow on ao3 who’s actually posting fics/chapters as of late and I must thank you for this /gen <3

Aw, you're welcome!! 🩵🩵 Sometimes I wonder if I'm just writing into the void (with the exception of @chaoticxsnowflake and @starlygalaxy) 🥹 especially when it comes to Euluc... it's been a rarepair desert over there 🫠❤️🩵

My muses have been cooking so much crack lately, it's a miracle my brain hasn't exploded from the sheer chaos 😆

But I'm too lazy to even address this 😭

Maybe I should?

But as you said, it's like writing into the void as Tumblr treats posts.

And I don't have followers anyways 😂

ft ulrike and cyrus

'it doesn't matter, his head is smashed anyways'

'but why smash it in the first place?'

'because he won't be using it duh'

'but what if using his head will fix the plot'

proceed to write 9 alternative paths to know what is the one i want.

'but what if creating art instead of writing this time'

'yeah'

I don’t even mean that in a “Diluc is right” way.

I mean it in a we only see them as good guys because we’re A) on their side B) they’re our OG’s way

Don't get me wrong, I love my blorbos, but all of them have insane issues. Friendly reminder that so far Mondstadt is the only actual theocracy in all of Tevyat, where the whole of the state is controlled by a STATE RELIGION and their DEDICATED KNIGHT ORDER. They let very very young kids join and rise to insane positions as well as having no issues just. Ordering hits on other people (see: Lohen). There's a very very strong sense of morality and pressure to be loyal to the nation too. Yk how everyone just collectively gave up/switched up on Eroch after that betrayal? Dude was genuinely a senior member of the knights and good friend of Varka's, and while he deffos did some huge mistakes....there are some weird implications still that no one had ANY sort of bad feelings just cutting the dude out of their lives completely. Not even a mention of "oh yeah I wish my good friend didn't betray us" or "ik he's evil but I still feel sad about all that happened." Just immediate condemnation and hatred. Dying for Mondstadt and laying down your life for the nation + god? Honourable and seen as good. Sending out an expedition to meddle with the business of other nations while trying to collect info (even with good intentions)? Perfectly fine. Following up on Diluc who did a killing spree in Snez, or Durin with his everything, or Lohen's whole experiments, or just any other shady past or action of one of their members? Nahhh, not as long as they are loyal to Mondstadt at least.

Which, by the way, doesn't even go into the character specifics of the individual knights???

Varka: Insanely dedicated to the point of mentioning Mondstadt like every third sentence in his character stories + voicelines. Genuinely in love with his home to the point of complete and utter self-sacrifice. Half of his personality is literally just "Mondstadt Mondstadt Mondstadt".

Kaeya: Khaenri'ahn spy placed in a nation in particular with a talent for tricks and lying. Straight up raised and planted to betray all of them. Openly willing to use dirty play to get what he wants. May end up betraying his birth nation in favour of Mondstadt.

Albedo: Humonculus experiment of Rhindottir trying to find the meaning of life. Does some really weird experimental stuff. Has had a Doppelgänger incident two separate times somehow. Semi-created new life via Durin. And all in all, just in an odd mental space.

Jean: Overworking herself out of sheer duty. Almost as bad as Varka in terms of self-sacrifice, only marginally better because for her it was more of a thing of her just being raised that way. Very responsible but also got the issue of her self-worth being extremely reliant on her nation.

Mika: Literal. Child.

Sucrose has made multiple unethical biological experiments and weapons.

Klee is a child but still has the knowledge and capability to create and handle bombs strong enough to level mountains.

Jean allowed an abyssal creature to take over the lives of multiple Mondstadt citizens to enact a plan to capture and subdue it.

Lisa is the most brilliant mind of a generation but uses her abilities to track down missing library books instead of revolutionizing her entire field of study that she’s clearly capable of doing.

What do you mean their ancestors were given divine powers

Why did anyone tell me that “by the way Jean family has super powers” or was I supposed to scroll through fandom wiki to try to support another insane theory of mine and find this gem.

WFT ARE THESE POWERS. Is it like a simple power boost or do they have special skills? Excuse me.

Nothing been written down about venti talking away theses powers so they might still have these blessings. Seeing how overpowered diona blessing from a simple oceanide is, these “divine powers” must have been super overpowered

Are you telling me that maybe the reason that they are so strong lore wise is because they have divine gifts. Is this the reason that diluc was able to get a vision at 10, Jean THE dandelion Knight at 15, and Eula has suck superior swordsmanship because venti gave them a power up

No we don't think it's weird if you kudos or comment an older fic. Quite the opposite. We love it! I often end up rereading my old fics and remembering who and where I was when I wrote them and the memories I have attached to them.

A string of emojis is better than no comment. I don't need eloquent paragraphs.

Similarly keyboard smashes are also fun! They almost always make me laugh.

Leaving cute things in the tags of reblogs is not cringe. I love them. I love seeing them. Also you wanted to share my writing?? I immediately love you.

Likes and kudos are great if that's what you have spoons for, but if you can leave even just a heart or a reblog with no tags then it will always mean the world to me.

Everything had been going fine, until the conversation shifted dangerously towards the past, and specifically, Eroch.

“Traitor.” Diluc snarled. “Disturbing everyone and just committing suicide without any accountability for his actions.” He took a heavy breath, taking a rough sip of his drink. “What a coward.”

Under the table, Kaeya’s hand unconsciously grabbed his scarred wrist.

——————–

Or, to summarize, after hearing Diluc’s opinion on Eroch’s suicide, Kaeya can’t help but be ashamed of himself, afraid of what Diluc would think of him if he knew the truth.
