I was reading through random shit in genshin again as I do and I noticed something
Lore theory rant utc
These two gemstones, pay attention to their descriptions
We know that these descriptions under the gemstones, specifically these spoken words, are words of the archons themselves. Which means these two gemstones respectively contain words from both the pyro and cryo archon.
The pyro gemstone is the only one who has a censored word as if it is something that shouldn’t yet to be mentioned
What truth is it that ‘he’ should need to achieve? And furthermore who is this ‘he’ they speak of?
We can only assume this ‘he’ would probably be the traveler. Though I am unsure if for the players who picked Lumine if the description says ‘she’ but, it is logical for the mentioned ‘he’ to be the traveler as the traveler is the one trying to seek out a certain ‘truth’. Because if you remember, in the ‘we will be reunited’ quest our twin had mentioned something about us one day finding out the ‘truth’ of this world once we reach the end of our journey.
Which leads to this thought. The censored word could probably be either Teyvat, Celestia or the abyss. These three are the most likely topics we have because first of all, ‘this world’ would most likely just mean Teyvat, which what ‘truth’ is there about Teyvat? What sort of mystery could there be about this land we are roaming? If we look back to the ‘unreconciled stars’ event where Scaramouche first appeared, he mentioned something about the stars and sky being a hoax.
The stars and the sky being a hoax could mean that it is hiding something, or as others have theorized before, the sky we see is not the real sky/Teyvat is an upside down world created by Celestia. We can see what seems to be Celestia floating in the sky and how it has been tilting more and more with each update, or to my belief, every time we — The Traveler discover more and more about Teyvat with how each update brings us some new knowledge or experience in the game.
All of this then brings us to the abyss which is where our twin is supposedly ‘siding’ with. If Teyvat is truly an upside down world and Celestia be the one trying to cover it all, then what was the abyss, or what was once known as Khaenri’ah? What brings the reason for Celestia to wish to destroy it? Why is our twin so fixed on getting vengeance for Khaenri’ah? What ties could they have with that now fallen nation?
The archons have always been so reluctant to speak of Celestia or even Khaenri’ah as if they couldn’t speak of it. Venti has spoken of it in his voice lines once though quite subtly, but we can tell he dislikes Celestia. Meanwhile, the people of Teyvat all seem to not even notice Celestia’s existence while we can see it in the sky so clearly. As well as the fact that the people of Teyvat seem to know almost nothing at all about Khaenri’ah except that ‘it was a nation that fell to ruins 500 years ago’.
All of these three are connected yes, but the thing here is what exactly about these three are we going to discover in presumably Natlan where the pyro archon would be, and how will it then affect the story..? There is much we could find out about that could possibly connect many lost dots after all.
Now moving onto the cryo gemstone, nothing much on this one but look at it this way. Those words seem to be specifically said to someone. Someone who could possibly be holding a cryo vision since it says “since you can endure my bitter cold”. Then going back to the start of those words “Sorry to have you shoulder the grievances of this world”. We can guess that besides them possibly having a cryo vision, it is also someone who is suffering greatly and holds a great secret that they have to hide.
When you connect it like that, doesn’t someone specific who seems to be connected greatly to the lore we currently know come to mind? Someone, who’s life was saved quite too conveniently by getting a vision that just so happens to be a cryo vision as well...
Considering the fact that we also have many theories on how the Tsaritsa is ‘connected’ to Khaenri’ah of the such, and how Pierro appears to be Khaenri’ahn, it is a high possibility.
There’s a lot more we can connect here from pieces of lore and other theories I kinda know but yeah I’m tryna make this as simple as I possibly can while ranting so-
Apologies for my sudden disappearance. I’ve been quite busy dealing with college lately and haven’t had the mental capacity to do much more than that.
I don’t think I’ll be able to get anything out for Halloween this year, but I’ll try. I’ve still got a whole bunch of the anniversary requests that I have yet to get to finishing. I’ll probably take a while to get back to that as well, so do understand that it’s not that I’m ignoring the requests, I’ve just been busy with my own stuff.
So for now, just think of it as a short writing hiatus for me and I’ll get back to you guys when I finally get a break.
Ft. Arlecchino, Capitano, Childe, Dottore, Pantalone
Bonus: platonic Pulcinella
Arlecchino loves gently, like a steady stream that twists and turns, her ever flowing love for you remains unchanged despite her course
Capitano loves quietly, in the stolen glances in your direction, and the picture of you he carries around in his pocket for luck.
Childe loves unconditionally. Once he's down, he's down bad, and there's little you can do to push him away from you because he will always have your back.
Dottore loves subtly, his love for you like murky waters which you can't see the depth of, easily mistaking it for a puddle, until you step in and find yourself in above your head
Pantalone loves flamboyantly. He adores you and will make it clear to everyone around you, be it spoiling you with his wealth or affection.
Pulcinella's love is nurturing, like a mother hen, he takes you under his wing, always a few steps away in case you misstep and need someone to run back to.
hello! I saw that your request status was open and recently ive read your "you fell first, they fell harder" can we get a part 2 of that? (w diff characters, any characters are fine!)
Idk can you?
You Fell First
They fell harder
Ft. Pantalone, Alhaitham, Scaramouche
Pantalone:
He knows all too well how easily emotions cloud one's logic
And he fully plans to exploit that fact
It just amuses him greatly to see how willingly you'd obey him, almost like a pet
Until it started to seem more like you were just a doting master, and he, your spoilt cat
It finally dawned on him when you'd noticed he looked a little tense and offered to massage his shoulders
The more he relaxed into your touch, the less he wanted you to stop touching him
Until he caught one of your hands and brought it to cup his own cheek
Nuzzling said hand before planting a kiss on your palm
Yes, he could definitely get used to this sort of treatment
And you should get used to giving him said treatment or he'll loom over you pretending to be monitoring you
Really just looking for an opportunity to hold you from behind or something
Alhaitham:
Disgusting icky plant man
He probably just didn't realised he was fond of you ngl
Which leads to a lot of "they're just a friend" moments
He's holding doors for you, even doing a lil jog to make sure he gets to the door before you do - very friendly behaviour
Leans his head on your shoulder when you flirt with him - classic friend activity
You're such a great friend for tagging along to help out with all his shenanigans<3
But why are the people he's trying to negotiate getting so...chummy with you?
Now that won't do, he's the only one who's supposed to kiss your knuckles and sidle up to you
"What are you, grouchy, their boyfriend?"
"That is correct, so if you had any semblance of sense left, you'd step away from them."
Scaramouche:
First he thinks it's a joke; you're friends now, friends joke about these things, right?
Then he starts to suspect you're trying to pull a prank on him and break his heart like everyone else dear to him did; very funny, but he's figured it out so please stop
But when you insist it's not? He's still suspicious
It's like feeding a feral cat, you drop the food (your affection) a little bit in front of you and step back so he can inch forward and snatch it up before retreating, getting a teeny bit closer to you each time
He also finds comfort in you patting his head - ruffling his hair and the likes - not that he'd admit to it outright
But you'll find he's more willing to incline his head towards you, especially when you're in need of a little comfort
You'll probably never really notice just how hard he's fallen for you because he won't make it obvious, but know that anything you feel for him, he feels stronger
He scares himself with how much he adores you, how much vulnerability he shows you
And that's really the only way to know you've caught him hook, line, and sinker, because under no circumstances would he let himself be so bare before simply anyone

Zhongli x gn!reader
Warnings: Mentions of killing(not angst)
Being an assassin was no easy job and of course. You never knew who your next target could be, yet you never would’ve expected to see your beloved’s name being handed to you with a file of documents as the next target for your assassination.
Not many knew of this relationship you had going on with Zhongli, so you could only assume the client was someone who had some beef with him. Charming as he is, he does have quite many enemies after all...
Pondering over this request, you had wondered what you should do with it. You had no plan to actually follow it since it requests of the death of your beloved after all.
Deciding you had enough of attempting to rummage through your poor brain for ideas, you got up and went to seek out your beloved instead. He’s usually the brains in the relationship after all. Not that you’d ever admit it to him in stake of your own pride...
Since it was already quite late, you had the bright idea to attempt to sneak in to try to surprise him instead.
Well, let’s just say things didn’t go that smoothly as you got caught immediately after entering... You could do nothing except raise your hands in defeat amidst the darkness, just to save yourself from getting beat up by the man standing before you. You’ve yet to ever manage to beat him in a fight after all..
Zhongli could only sigh after he identified your familiar face in the darkness.
“Why have you decided to play the role of an intruder tonight, my dear?”
“...Surprise?”
Well, if there’s one thing he’s learnt from being in a relationship with you, it’s that you are one to do the most questionable things that he shouldn’t question.
“Is something on your mind for you to visit me this late?”
He wondered as you weren’t usually one to crash into his living space at such a late hour, or maybe you were...
Though he wasn’t wrong about something quite troubling being on your mind.
“Just a new assassination target I was assigned.”
“Would the target happen to be me?”
How quick. As expected of Zhongli, you suppose.
“I’ve already had one come by the other day.”
Hm, that explains how he figured it out so quick. You weren’t the first the client had asked to- WAIT WHAT!?
You stared at him in shock as he spoke of it so nonchalantly. Though it seems he misunderstood the reason for your staring.
“You needn’t worry, I was unscathed.”
“You do know you’re currently considered a target of mine to assassinate, right..?”
“Though I am aware of that, I’m also quite certain you wouldn’t wish to harm me, my gem.”
He’s not wrong.
“That being said, perhaps I wouldn’t mind if it was you.”
What is he saying? He wouldn’t mind if it’s you who harms him?? This man...
“Don’t joke around.”
You swat at him and he only gives a deep chuckle at your behavior.
“Even so, I’m not joking, my dear. Should a day come where you decide you’d like to be the one to end my life, you’ll still be forever in my heart.”
“For some reason, that sounds like a threat that I’ll be the one to go instead if I do try to kill you...”
“Haha. Come now, my dear, do I seem like that sort of person to you?”
...... yeah, you’re lucky this man loves you. Screw the assassination, your life matters more.

to all the people who read writers’ works! pretty please, a humble request to please interact with our posts!
i understand that you’re sometimes shy to talk to us, and some of you aren’t sure how this site works necessarily, but the algorithms are reblog based! the more you reblog a post, the more exposure it gets
a lot of writers are nowadays feeling so discouraged because people don’t come talk to them (you can always take advantage of the anon feature to come talk to us) or interact with our work
and as writers, it’s saddening to continuously use our creativity, only to get crumbs of interaction
so just to be nice, please give interacting a chance
It was so...peaceful. Like Inazuma hadn't been at all affected by his absence. It was both comforting and hurtful how the place he'd found himself tied to hadn't changed, and yet a painful reminder of just how insignificant he was, how weak - too weak to change anything for himself. But that could change....that had to change. He had the gnosis now, the power of a god; surely he could do something with it?
"Scara...please take a break. You keep pushing yourself and I'm starting to worry-"
"Worry about what? That I can't handle it?" He snapped. "Because you think I'm not strong enough either? You're no different from my mo- the archon, then."
You were worried. How could you not be? His body rejected the power of the gnosis before, since it'd been too much for him to take. Such power wasn't for everyone, yet he seemed to take it personally, blaming himself even more when his creator whom he'd come to think of as a mother cast him aside for it. A touchy subject, so much so that you couldn't even begin to think of how to comfort him without the puppet getting defensive.
"You've always been enough..." you answered unthinkingly, your hand with a mind of its own, reaching to stroke his navy hair. You heard him scoff, calling you a liar, but he made no move to avoid your touch. And so you slipped your arms around him in a hug, relishing the peaceful silence since neither of you were sure what had to be said.
One day, you'd know how to kiss his pain away, tending to the wounds so they never reopen and hurt him, but until then, it was all you could do to soothe him. So you had no choice but to let him tear himself apart to find something in himself worth proving; there was nothing you could do but watch as your beloved grovelled in the dirt for some sign his mother hadn't forsaken him completely.
And then you'd patch him up, whisper sweet promises of how you'd be with him the whole journey, stitching him back together even if only for a while. You'd assure him, certain that Ei hadn't intended to throw him away so heartlessly even if you daren't claim to know the inner workings of a god. Lies or not, if it gave him some semblance of peace and comfort in your arms, it would do. Because your Scara was strong - strong enough to let you keep putting him back together time and time again as he found his way back to you, and so much stronger than he gave himself credit for.
