Orazio, Polar Star

Heya, FakeGhost here! Author of the Genshin fanfic/AU: 'Orazio - The Polar Star'! I'll use this blog to talk about, post ideas and hcs, among other things about my fanfic! Feel free!

Hey there!

If you're seeing this blog, it's probably because I posted it in chapter 7 of my fanfic on AO3. Welcome! But, if you stumbled upon this blog while browsing Tumblr, welcome too!

I'll be using this blog mainly for: posting ideas and hcs I have about the AU, discussing discarded lore proposals, maybe some doodles, etc. Plus, not just stuff about the AU, but Genshin in general!

I hope you enjoy it and we can grow this little community I'm so eager to build. S2

Update: Chapter 24 is now complete! Now all that's left is the rest, which I haven't decided how many there are yet, but I'll get there eventually.

Oh, Xiao, I'll have to tell you a little secret later…

When I don't know how to write a chapter from Aether's pov, the best option is really to switch to another character! That's when the creative flow really comes lmao

I was having an incredibly hard time writing chapter 24 from the traveler's perspective, but now that I'm writing from Xiao's it's MUCH easier!

[fatuiaether]

Would it sound stupid if I said I have a hc that Xiao has very sharp senses? Like, he can tell that someone was nearby just by their scent or something like that.

[fatuiaether]

I'm alive and trying to write chapter 24 about none other than Xiao, but college exams are making me consider buying a funeral plan.

One of the things I regretted most when writing the prologue to Orazio, Polar Star, even if it was intentional? Was only touching on Albedo's character without properly introducing him or giving him a bigger role.

He'll appear much more frequently later! Nicole's voice-over about him left me quite intrigued by new possibilities.

Not gonna lie to you guys, I was a little sad (and I don't know if this will count as a spoiler) that Pantalone isn't liyuean, because – personally – it would be a juicy plot if he were a contrast to Ningguang, for example, and harbored resentment towards Morax, the god of his homeland, in a kind of "I was born POOR in the RICHEST nation in Teyvat and I can't rise in the land of commerce, in my home? What the fuck!?" way, despite having struggled day and night for years, never managing to escape poverty, and harboring hatred for the system.

Because, to be honest, him being from the land of contracts and having been taught since childhood to love/praise Morax's system, only to then harbor a DEEP hatred for his own god? I like it sooooo much!

But then I remembered that I literally have a Genshin AU and I can change whatever I want, including what I don't like in the original game, so NOTHING prevents me from making him have ancestry from Liyue and Snezhnaya! I think it would be ironic that, between the richest nation and the second richest, he achieved prosperity in the latter.

Author save all versions of dottore in the fic and you will be reborn as a beautiful inteyvat

I'm still thinking about what I'm going to do with so many segments and Dottolone in the fic.
