CLOSED.

i think it’s time for me to retire from writing for genshin impact. it has been a wonderful experience, and i thoroughly enjoy being able to create content for the game—i hold my works for these characters dear to my heart. i just don’t feel as connected to the game anymore to write, despite still loving it and considering it a major interest of mine.

i will not be deleting my works, except for some, so you are free to still enjoy my writing if you wish!

would i quit writing completely? probably not. only for genshin. and even then, i’m not 100% set on it. i have a few more drafts that i would want to finish, but i’m also not sure if i would finish it. if you are willing to take a chance waiting, you can check out my (supposed) new blog because that is where i will be posting, if i do post.

the new blog is @vriothesley! i posted new works on there, albeit very few, if you are interested.

(edit: clarifying that vriothesley is also retired, though i will not be closing it. it will remain up and running, but would have little to no activity.)

i do still read (and subsequently, recommend) fics from time to time, and if you want to see it, my archive and reading account is @cloudford. there are also links in that blog for my other interests and/or endeavors, if you are interested.

it’s been a good few years, and i’ve met amazing people here. i would not exchange the time i was rganvindr & kdaehara on tumblr for anything else. i am more than grateful for all the support i’ve gotten in this silly little hobby for silly little fictional characters.

thank you all! ♡

am curious. if you don't mind explaining, how did being a cw hold you back from... creative writing?

(i'm sorry this got too long it gave me an existential crisis)

oh. hahah, i guess i didn't think about it too much before but uhhh basically i feel like i was being... limited? because as much as it is creative writing, there are rules to how you can be writing creatively.

i did understand that of course, you have to know that there are ways to improve in writing and to do that, you follow standards. in no way did i think that having those standards for creative writing as something useless, or that i had never learned during my two years in the program because i learned a lot. i learned SO much. and i loved what i learned, and i will genuinely miss it now that i've changed programs.

but having understood that, having learned, having loved what i learned and still feeling like i cannot be a writer by standards just made me realize that maybe it's just not for me. i'm not just cut out for it. maybe i am a good writer, but only for leisure, not for the academe. if i had pushed through the program, i might have lost all love i have from the fun of writing.

tl;dr being in a creative writing program conditioned me into thinking about whether i'm writing "correctly" too much even when i'm only writing for fun on the internet that i become drained and i question my actual skills. it's not the program's issue or my skills, it's just not meant to be hahah

(also i think it's the competitive nature of my university plays a part in this. i love cw because it's fun and it relieves my stress. i enjoy it. but being in a harsh academic environment takes out the fun, which then extends to my writing outside of university! sad.)

Hello Jio! I miss seeing you on the dash. I hope you’re well and fine!

i am, thank you anon. i have been so much better, and i have learned so much about writing and realized that no matter what, it’s just not something i can let go and stop doing :)

[kdaehara]

ARE YOU STILL WRITING 😭😭 I MISS YOUR WRITING

hm. i guess you could say i am writing again. just not here.

i miss my writing too! i hold them dearly to my heart and my works here in kdaehara (and previously, rganvindr) will always be a part of me :) it makes me happy that many people appreciate something i enjoy doing.

[kdaehara]

i came across your fics and saw your blog. your theme is so gorgeous :)

hahah thank you so much! this has been in my inbox for so long i think and i’m sorry that you’ve discovered my blog when i’ve stopped writing here ):

[kdaehara]

pretty bloggg!

thank youuu ): i am pretty proud of this theme

[kdaehara]

hello i’ll be answering some asks and maybe if i’m stupid enough i might post an announcement idk

[kdaehara]

hi hi !! idk if this has been asked already but i want to know who are your writing inspirations?? i think your writing style is so unique and i rlly rlly like it!! keep writing <33

my husband, who was the bravest man i’ve ever known, dying an honorable death in war, and the young gardener, who has been with me throughout all the stages of grief i’ve been through and has shown me that even someone like me, who believed had already lost everything, could learn to love and be loved again

[kdaehara]

oh hi lmao

hello! is this network still active? i have seen a new genshin network and thought it was idolteyvat, are they two different networks?

hello, this is idolteyvat.

we are answering this ask in lieu of an announcement, so i, mod jio, will be responding to the questions currently in our inbox and clarifying the current status of idolteyvat as a genshin tumblr network.

first, to anon, no. we are not active anymore. no, we do not have any other blog or network. whichever blog(s)/network(s) you’re referring to, they are not in any way, shape, or form affiliated to idolteyvat and its moderators.

second, we would like sincerely apologize for the inactivity of the network. we, the moderators of idolteyvat, genuinely enjoyed and loved running the blog, but over time we just could not handle the network anymore -- our schedules had not allowed us to keep idolteyvat active and, over time, we had just grown out of genshin impact that we felt it was not appropriate for us to continue.

third, we will not be reopening member applications or restarting the network, but we will keep the blog accessible for all. we hope everyone would still take their time viewing the works of our members and even the graphic edits done by the mods from the teasers to the events.

we have not made any proper announcement about the network closure, unless you can count the update post. hence, this post will be our official announcement.

idolteyvat is now closed.

thank you to everyone that had supported us since day one, and those who had been actively participating in activities -- member or not. we hope that the short time you had with us had been fun and enjoyable!

[kdaehara]

are you still writing fics?

no bcs i’m already living my y/n life

[kdaehara]

hello! is your childe series discontinued?? i hope its ok to ask! thank u<3

hi anon! it’s perfectly fine to ask, i know i have not updated it in a while.

a dumb’s guide to falling in love is not discontinued, just on hold! and so are all of my writing. i’m currently in the process of moving to a new place and i am dying getting through my uni work at the moment!

[kdaehara]

AAAAAAA thank you so much! i had a hard time deciding on doing a flashy (almost?) color palette like this or just settle on something much lighter or milder, but i'm so glad i went through with this one!
