#𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗦. Independent, selective, private (mutuals only), multi-ship and multi-verse Jinhsi 「 今汐」 RP blog from Wuthering Waves. AU and crossover friendly. Multi-para / novella driven. Mature, dark and triggering themes are bound to occur due to the nature of my muse's original setting, background and situations he's undergoing. Established in June 1Oth, 2O24 as written by Lyria.

𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐋 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒: My portrayal takes creative liberties that stem from canon elements that are connected to my muse in combination to aspects addressed in the CBT1. Furthermore, as a fair warning my perception of my muse is vastly detached from the general perception or desires of the fandom my muse is part of. Moreover, please be mindful that at this point of time story-wise (1.1), she has transcended a god in terms of power. Noteworthy abilities are time-manipulation, foresight, oneiric incursion and emotional sentience in others. While I have no intentions of watering down these aspects of my muse, if it supposes any kind of problem I'm open for discussion to reach to a middle term where both ends are satisfied.

It is important to note that Jinhsi is depicted canonically to have been in her teenage years when she was designated as the magistrate of Jinzhou by Jué and that there are explicit mentions that she has been in this role for at least three years. In an exercise to apply some degree of realism, I will portray her to be 20 y/o+ and will partake in everything that being an adult encompasses at personal discretion. If this supposes any issue to you, this is your warning to curate your space and not expose yourself to something you may potentially disagree with due to the implications of portraying someone depicted to be young. Know that I am not here for any drama this might cause to some and I won't engage with it, should any provocations come my way.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐒: Weight of leadership and decision-making, horror, nightmares, hardship to make oneself be worth of people's trust, religion —with Jué as the icon—, rise to divinity, significance of prophecies, to carry people's burdens as one's own.

Peeks here after forever to say that I'll be moving Jinhsi to a sideblog for easier access for myself and my time restraints. The blog will be lowkey, so it might be of interest to follow the main blog as it'll be there where I write IC posts and reblog meme thingies that can be applied to both Cartethyia (as the main blog) and Jinhsi. For the rest, her blog will contain mostly IC interactions and headcanons! If you see any follow in advance, the main blog will be @fleuredelys. Once the sideblog is settled (I'll try to make it happen tomorrow or on Thursday, as tomorrow will be a long day at work) I'll announce it properly on here.

Jinhsi dancing with two left feet was definitely not on the list of things I expected to see of her, yet here we are—

[plenilunaris]

Jiyan was not the only one whose mind was frozen in time, in a specific moment, long after that had happened. Every time Jīnshī relived that moment, otherwise pale cheeks blushed and iridescent scales made their way on the patch of skin behind her ear and crawling up her neck to her jaw. For how demure she always presents herself as, that would've been a significantly bold move of her. On the other side, she would argue that it was a gesture filled with care and an unspoken wish so that he would take better care of himself next time. But that wasn't the reason of her flustered episodes whenever she had time to mull about what transpired in the solitude of her chambers, no. It was his spontaneous request that the next time they meet she does it again.

Mild confusion struck her first like Loong's unmerciful lightning over its foes: was that a veiled way of wishing that the spot where he was injured would heal faster with another kiss? Only in reminiscing his words saying that it was just a minor injury and that by protecting it from the sun it would be healed in no time does reality dawn on her, and so her heart flutters at every second she spends thinking about it. There was once when she was so restless at night that she considered listening to the echoes of wishes of the people of Jinzhou like she usually does —now more controlled and deliberate than when it first started, scary and confusing as it was in her childhood—, wishing that one of the myriad of wishes she would hear belonged to Jiyan to get confirmation of her daring thoughts.

Ultimately, she decided against. For this was the first time that it concerned something to her as Hsī, not the Magistrate of Jinzhou. For the first time, she didn't need to have everything planned to the last detail, nor there had to be fear of lack of success in a life or death situation. Like snow thawing for the first time in millennia giving way to spring, she would start to live life like Hsī.

...Master Changli would sigh in exasperation were she learn about this, and the perfectionist strike that never ceases to exist even in such moment.

It is precisely because she's aware that Jiyan hasn't participated in a major event like this at the city that she wouldn't allow herself to slip past one single detail to make it worthwhile for him. That's the reason why she emboldened herself to ask the finest seamstresses to weave an outfit for the occasion: simple but retaining the finesse and elegance expected of the Lóngzhù still. That is also the reason why she made research of that which the Midnight Rangers enjoy the most, all so she could anticipate what the devoted Qingloong would like to see in this special day, like the gulpuff-themed games the had learned about.

Once all was said and done, there was naught more to do than wait and hope for the best.

The days leading to the festival, Hsī didn't pray one single time to Jué for luck, deciding that this is an affair that doesn't concern divinity. For once, this pertained to the human realm and that was on her to deal with it. It was on her very inexperienced self to see through the end.

On high, the Loong lies frozen in time while the maiden treads paths of snow and rime

Iridescent scales shimmered like snow powder under the rising sun behind her ears in the likeness that she observed it does through teal scales on Jiyan's skin, a feature she finds most endearing. Her tranquil disposition a veil to a thundering heart roaring within her ribcage. Silver eyes were on him most of the times, a look on them far from being deliberate but one that mirrored sentiments in bloom that gave rise within her heart for every laughter or every pout when something didn't go right, all features more like someone his age. For just like her, Jiyan is still someone in his early twenties with the weight of a whole army on his shoulders.

Thus life wakes anew, and frost gives way as spring breeze warms the Jade Gate display

It was by her own request that they walked away to a more secluded place, where they could still oversee Jinzhou City yet have their private time. Jiyan's wish before their departure days ago until they met for the festival reverberates within the confines of her mind more than ever as the time to enact her own little plan has come. ◜Please, have your eyes on me.◞ Is everything she wished of him at the time, to give her strength as albescent lashes fluttered close for a fraction, preluding something she hasn't done for anyone else that isn't Jué or Changli: singing.

Her melodic choice emboldened her to dance, all too aware of the implications of doing so. But for once, she didn't think too much of it. What she initially wanted to be just for him became a fun activity for her too as she moved with a crane's grace on the ground and with a butterfly's charm in the air. It was the highest expression of happiness, to free herself from the shackles of being a Magistrate just for this moment; it was also a timid expression of something she cannot yet put name to, one that she finds endless joy in, nevertheless.

Now the blooms blush, and willows sway Perhaps my spring, too, will come today

Ultimately, she lands right before him. Frail hands find purchase on his shoulder first as they slide down in her descent. Hsī takes a moment to look into his eyes first in what feels like a frozen instant before roseate lips press with intent not on the patch that covers his recovering injury, but on the subtle trace of Loong scales on the opposite cheek.

Perhaps your spring, too, has come today.

Jinhsi? Ma'am? Why are you so pretty.

[plenilunaris]

peeks in Still alive over here, just... surviving the new schedule with the beginning of classes and the first exam coming next Wednesday. I mentioned this on my other blog, but I will here too. Even if I'm mostly silent on the dash, this doesn't necessarily apply to OOC conversations! Be it via Discord if you wish or via IMs (it's advisable to poke me at @reginrokkr, as my Tumblr app is logged on that account) I am responsive ♥︎

[plenilunaris]

Activity announcement. Summer vacations are nearing their end, meaning that next week classes will start again. Given that I don't know how the rhythm of classes will be, I don't want to say anything other than if you see my activity drop significantly, that's why. In the meantime, I'll work in delivering everything that I have pending so that I start with a clean state by the time that moment comes!

In addition to this, I want to communicate that I'll be specially active on my other blog at @reginrokkr. So if we happen to not be mutuals on my other blog, know that that will be the easiest way to reach out to me. Despite the beginning of classes, I want to be consistent here within reason, so I'll do my best to at least deliver IC replies in a weekly basis.

SOUND WORDS. IF HIS people were to become an official presence here, then it was necessary to make that quite clear. What better way was there to do that than being given the same access the Midnight Rangers had? Calcharo had already pondered a permanent base placed here in Jinzhou, though this was primarily for the sake of his Hounds. Many of them were not used to peace like this in a way that was quite similar to him. Many had been through hell and back, and some, were quite young with no other place to go, choosing the life of a mercenary believing it the only path left open to them. If he was to establish a good location for them all, then it was going to be sooner rather than later, especially now that things had significantly calmed since the defeat of the Crownless and the Threnodian. ❝No…I would not.❞ A part of himself, the cautious part, still wished to scrutinize as if to find the hidden grenade within all these good things he was presented with, but, for once, he supposed he would take a chance with the Madam Magistrate.

     ❝It more than suffices. I don’t have the details of my previous contract with the General, but you will have to speak to him about modifying it with the new terms. Once that is done, send that to me and we will make it official.❞ He’d let his people know first and foremost first thing in the morning as he often didn’t make large deals without consulting with them and seeing where their interests lied, though he had a pretty good feeling that none would complain about this. If anything, they could have asked for no better contract than what was presented. ❝Have a pleasant rest of the evening, Madam Magistrate. The fireworks are even brighter tonight than the last.❞

[plenilunaris]

Just as she has promised, the following day early in the morning Jīnhsī worked on elaborating a new contract that encompasses the terms that have already been discussed previously with General Jiyan, the only change a reflection of their conversation they had the night before. That same morning, the contract would be sent to the Qingloong directly in company with another letter at Calcharo's name containing the contract and an elaborate document explaining her reasons to count with his service.

Being punctual typically erases any factors that may get in between to be on time to attend to meetings. As someone who takes them seriously, there is no incidents that happen from her end. Alas, the same cannot say from others, but not everything is lost— that means that free time is in her hand and so she opted to utilize it by going to the direction she learned where the settlement is being established.

By the time she arrives, she's met with hesitance of a couple of the Ghost Hounds that were guarding the entrance, understandingly so. It isn't often to see the politician leader directly like this, even less nearby somewhere that others could categorize as suspicious at best— all of it hearsay in comparison to what their leader had promised her. ◜At ease. I am here merely to see your leader.◞ A smile makes its way to her lips in an attempt to assuage their nerves. The two men look at one another, then back at her before they offer her a nod before one of them leaves in a hurry.

■ ■ ■ 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄.

𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐒: Vidyadhara (occasionally rumored that she's human). 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓: Imaginary. 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐇: Finality. 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Humanity. 𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: [Subjected to plotting convenience and limited to] Xianzhou ship of choice for the most time. Any other world once she leaves to return to her homeworld until she finds it. 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐒: (Lesser Elder) Lumina Crescentia —limited to Xianzhou—.

■ ■ ■ 𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘...

𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐒: Long-living being with draconic traces. 𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑: Permanence. 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Still humanity. Nevertheless, there lies an unspoken complicity with the Stellaron Hunters.

■ ■ ■ 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖.

Despite what common folk may believe, Hsi wasn't born a Vidyadhara nor in any of the Alliance ships. In reality, she was born as a short-living human, meant to die before reaching one century of old. Born in Solaris-3's Hongzhen, she passed shortly after a Tacit Discord outbreak. Her cries prior to her death resonated with Jué and so it went to the baby's encounter, but it was too late. Be it because it was guilt-ridden for not making it in time to save something special to it or because it has seen a future where she would be both its savior and that of Jinzhou, it resuscitated her. Nevertheless, that not only supposed a temporal disruption but a distortion in the fabric of space that provoked her disappearance from her homeworld and fateful apparition in one of the Xianzhou's ships.

When she was found, she had protruding horns on her head and iridescent scales on different parts of her body— both signs of interest on the Preceptors' end to nurture her as a Lesser Elder, for her unknown circumstances and still ongoing study of the extent of her powers. Despite being aware that she isn't a pure Vidyadhara, as years passed by she exhibited favorable traits that throws a light of reminiscence upon her of the long deceased Long, but also those of being a High Elder herself.

In a show of gratitude for taking her in as well as love for the people, she remains as a helpful force subdued to the interests of the Preceptors. While cognizant of this fact, her own interest lies on the guidance of the people as fate's prophetess. That is, until her own desire to meet the dragon (Jué) in her dreams that attempted to interact with her for so many years grows and grows, leading ultimately to her leave to find her homeworld by following growing reverberations the closer she gets.

𖧷 @celesticlnstcrs asked: " Madam Magistrate, do you have a moment? I wanted to discuss something with you pertaining to further development Jinzhou, though I'm aware that isn't one of my responsibilities. " - jiyan

It isn't often —if ever— that General Jiyan asks personally for her attention, even less so for matters that aren't of the Midnight Rangers' concern or anything that revolves around them that she could do to improve the situation. Such is the natural reaction of surprise of the Lóngzhù when their relationship has been kept strictly professional and as old habits followed her, to wonder if she's lacking in some department sufficiently enough for him to take notice and bring to her attention— absent as he usually is from the city.

Her stance is resolute when she nods her head in answer and turns on her heels, her silver gaze lingering on the man as a silent means for him to follow her somewhere more secluded where they can address this topic.

◜You needn't worry about that, General.◞ She's well aware that he intends nothing but the betterment of the city and everyone involved with it, for long has it been since both of them have made it abundantly clear to one another that their wish is to see the province's prosperity and to work together towards a peaceful future. The battle against the Threnodian and what little she could do to assist them from the distance only cemented that wish further.

Jīnhsī opens the door to her office and steps to one side, so he may enter first. Despite the composed expression she wears, it is never a bad moment for gentleness to show through as her eyes soften in a smile that doesn't quite reach her lips yet. ◜Whatever it is that you wish to address, I know it won't be of little import.◞

[twilightichor]

It's been about a month since I changed Jinhsi's blog of places and upon seeing how things are working, I realized that it was a mistake on my part. After thinking about some possibilities of what to do, I've decided to move it back to where it was. This is the easiest solution I came up with that would affect you peeps the least, as most of the mutuals that are here for her are there, with only a few new peeps that came recently which I'll be following in the following hours. I appreciate the patience you peeps have with me and for bearing with me throughout these changes. I'm positive that this will be the last.

𝐕. A curiosity about 「Seize the opportunity」 is that Jinhsi and Changli were playing a genuine wéiqí game based on the events that were taking place in the story. Without going too much into specifics of the game's technicalities, on Jinhsi's end there were two big dragons (reflecting Jué and herself) in a situation where if she attempted to make one save the other, her victory would be doomed— so in order to continue towards the victory she would have to sacrifice one for the other (as Jué intended to sacrifice itself for Jinhsi so that premature clash wouldn't take place, thus risk that Jinhsi loses herself or her life in the process). But eventually one of Changli's stones was meant to reflect Rover, thanks to who it was possible to actually save both dragons.

[plenilunaris]

The past couple of days I've been struggling with a headache which I suspect is related to this insufferable heatwave because I got a pain relief earlier and it did almost nothing for me. I'll do my best to be consistent again with IC content soon, so please bear with me.

𝐈𝐕. One of the changes that Jinhsi's schedule experiences after her Second Resonance Awakening is that she delegates more paperwork to bureaucrats that work at the City Hall, leaving her at the top to give the final word through signatures if applicable. This is because Jué is in a retirement only to be broken when it's necessary and one of its functions has been that of foreseeing different futures and choose the best one for Jinzhou's interest to follow, furthermore, this function will be taken by Jinhsi herself. In order to do this, there is a comprehensive need to spend time on her own to meditate and take her time to study the pros and cons of every future, which will require tranquility and peace of mind for the time being.
