A bit of an announcement? (Might go inactive and leave the fandom)

Hi im so behind on genshin lore bcs i'll be honest I havent played genshin in a hot minute and im not sure if I really want to again 😭😭 idk if I should discontinue The Imposter and make this acc inactive tbh cuz on one hand I love The Imposter and this acc and if I could continue it, I would but on the other hand I really wanna leave the genshin fandom and just genshin in general

I'll try and make a decision soon. There's a chance I could come back to genshin if I find the motivation to continue it (probably if more Fatui lore drops idk) and I could come back to this account, but for now there's a large chance that i'll be leaving and staying inactive

I'll come back once I make the decision. For now, thank you all for supporting me and my works!! I am sincerely grateful to all of you!

My thoughts reading “I Don't Want This Reincarnation”

“There is an unhealthy amount of man and man waist-touching in this webnovel.”

“The sounds Yi-gyeol make while Sa-yeon is transferring his energy?? To Yi-gyeol?? Hello??”

/“It's good to have a crush on a man and a woman, but please do it after clearing the gate if possible”/ “Okay Seo-hyuk 😭”

No seriously I didn't read this webnovel expecting this much homosexual tension but hey here we are

Im in my signora loving hours

[ranalatus]

IM SCREAMING AND ON MY KNEES RN LITERALLY THANK TOU SO MUCH childe suffer challenge 🤗🤗

funny but do you think like hydro users could produce mist? and images onto the mist?? because if so imagine that + signora. im deviously laughing rn. OR OR imagine stupid scaramouche drowning in indescribable emptiness because of him realizing theres nothing he can do in this position, he cant even throw his hissy fits 😭😭

OR THEM HAVING A LITTLE MEETING TALKIJG SHIT. "rhey are so annoying." "ihate them." then jts just "hate who?" HAHAHAHA farts

NAHHH I LOVE THE MEETING IDEA LMFOAAJDBDB IMAGINE SCARAMOUCHE JUST STARING INTO NOTHING, FEELING LIKE A HOLLOWED OUT DOLL WHILE THE OTHERS TALK SHIT ABOUT YOU BCS YET AGAIN YOU MANAGED TO GAIN THE RIGHTS TO THE PLANS THE HARBINGERS THEMSELVES SUGGESTED TO THE TSARITSA

I hope you don't mind me taking creative liberties of your harbinger torture methods bcs I LOVE them sm

spoilers - Signora's backstory (??), Scaramouche's backstory

warnings: mentions of war, blood, manipulative reader, reader is the bad guy, reader is very much the bad guy

There's nothing but the smell of blood filling her nose, nothing but the remains of war flooding her vision. Signora feels nothing but dread as she relives the times of war from back when she was still a normal, regular maiden of Mondstadt

She hates it. She hates it so, so much

A faint chuckle echoes from beyond all the yells of other people, people who were rescuing the dead bodies. It was a cold laugh, not fitting the cries of family members who lost their loved one in the war

Her hand gently grazes the face of her beloved, the face bloodied and unrecognizable thanks to the battle he fought

Her hand passed through the mist

Mist. Of course

How could she forget? You have hydro vision users on your side. Hell, you have everyone on your side

She clenches her fist. A long time ago, you had her on your side as well

This is but another attempt at taming her, another attempt at getting her back on your side after she, in your words, went berserk

“My dear ember, do you see it now?” The illusion of her husband melts away, and she has to hold herself back from clutching it close to her chest. Her re-opened wounds burns in your hands, as you grab her chin and make her look at you. As you force her to look into your cold, dead eyes under the facade of comfort and warmth

“You are nothing without me. I gave you everything, and I can so easily take it all away too. Now let's stop being defiant, you'd look so much better under my control anyway, ember.”

You're smiling. You're smiling and everything is going your way. You're smiling and you have everyone and their weaknesses wrapped around your fingers like you're holding a marionette's strings

Scaramouche isn't anticipating the moment you find out his identity. His weakness

Because at this point, it's no longer a matter of if, but of when

He can't even shake in fear, he can't even cry. No, he can only sit still like a good doll and wait until you finally find the secret he's hiding. Wait until you untangle his puppet strings and bring him back to life

He doesn't want to. Back then, he used to wish for someone to use him, for him to have a purpose

He doesn't want you to give him that purpose

He's always been stubborn, easily angered and easy to tease. That's what you made him to be, after all. Even without you controlling him, you wrote out his fate and destiny with your tongue

He let you control his image. He let you control his favor

“Balladeer,” A familiar voice. He looks to the side, finding the grinning face of your servant. He can't remember his name, all he remembers is that he stuck faithfully and loyally to your side even from back when you had no power in the palace. “My master is calling for your presence.”

His heart, he doesn't even have one, pounds roughly against his chest. There is a knowing glint in your servant's eyes, and he swears he can see your foggy figure behind your servant with the same knowing grin on your face

He let you control his everything but he can't, he doesn't want you to control his life

But it's no longer his choice, is it? The moment you stepped foot into this castle all those years ago, shivering and begging for help, the lives of it's inhabitants ended up in your hands

Now, they have to live exactly how he has all these years. Empty, hollow puppets

[ranalatus]

omg injust read ur tsaritsa fav thing and i. IM. I DIDNT KNOW I NEEDED THAT?!?!?! this is me begging for more of that, IMAGINE THE TEASING DONE TO THE HARBINGERS ICANNOT. "so childe, i visited your family and my oh my! your brother, tuberculosis, has grown so much!! i forgot how cute he was! wonder what happened to you?"

IM CRYING?2?$??2 TUBERCULOSIS HELP NOOO 😭😭😭

Thank you so much for enjoying the fic!! I, too, wish to see reader teasing the harbingers more so here ehe

Imagine coming across Childe's family. He was simply watching over you under the orders of the Tsaritsa (how he wishes he didn't have to), when he heard the voice of his younger siblings. His sweet, innocent younger siblings. It made his blood freeze, gaze snapping over to your smiling face. He forgot for a second, the reason why all the townspeople of Snezhnaya adore you

You exhibit a warm aura that his younger siblings just can't help but admire. A false, painful facade of warmth

“Tartaglia! Who are these angels? Oh my, how adorable~ Do you lovelies care to share your names?”

It's the way you handle them so gently, the way you're patient with their every demand even as they drag you around the village. It makes him mad, knowing that behind this facade, you drown in blood of those who've killed for you and those you've killed yourself. Such ugly, tainted hands dare touch his family?

But then you grin over your shoulder, a reflection of himself shown in the pupils of your eyes. Then he remembers— he can never really forget so long as you stay by his side, reminding him of this very fact

In terms of blood, has he not dabbled in as much bloodshed as you? If not, more?

So he clenches his fist, politely smiling at his younger siblings while you treat them as if they were your own children, looking much closer to them than he is

He dreads the day your warm aura ends up burning the only people he cares about

— I wanted to write for more of the harbingers but my brain hit a block 😭😭 so you're only having the fishing dude today 👍

SAGAU but..

heavy spoilers - Albedo's backstory, Inazuma Archon Quests, Kaeya's backstory, Zhongli's backstory, Raiden Shogun's backstory

genre: fluff, angst, yandere, both Soft SAGAU and Villain/Imposter SAGAU (maybe puppet!au too? does this count as puppet!au?)

characters: klee (platonic), albedo (could be seen as either platonic or romantic), GN reader

warnings: mentions of cult, mentions of kidnapping, manipulation, mentions of violence, mentions of death, swearing, spitting (not in a kinky way, tho it is Kaeya), possessiveness, sad Klee and mad Albedo

notes: this was written MONTHS ago. Like even before I started posting The Imposter series, please keep this in mind in case I get any lore wrong!

Reader is a character in the game, Albedo and Klee are people in the real world playing Genshin, and Alice and Rhinedottir are the "gods" of teyvat

Now, Alice and Rhinedottir aren't exactly the creators of Teyvat, but they are highly regarded figures in Teyvat who are treated like gods. Alice being the only person in Teyvat other than the archons who knows Teyvat. Who's explored it so many times and had seen it's own growth that Teyvat feels like a child to her as much as Klee is. The travel guides in the game are like her own personal diary, and only those who have reached "divine enlightenment" can understand what she's saying. Of course, this also means that biologically.. Klee is also a highly regarded figure in Teyvat

Rhinedottir is a different case. She's a human, from Khaenri'ah no less, except she's widely regarded all over Teyvat– and rightfully so. She's studied the Art of Khemia and practiced it in ways no other human nor god has. Gold, as she is more well known for internationally, has created multiple creatures of life using the Art of Khemia. Creation of life is god's power, so what does this make Gold? Naturally, this gives her the standing akin to a god. Although she is more notorious than Alice given she is a mere human from Khaenri'ah, she is still highly regarded. And logically speaking.. Albedo, Durin and subject two or Rubedo, we'll call him, should also be highly regarded figures in Teyvat

Where do you come into play in all of this, you ask?

Well, you're just a simple character in the game. What your position is, whether you have a vision or not and if you do, what element, and where you live is all up to you. However that won't change the fact that you are Klee and Albedo's favorite character

Depending on the type of SAGAU this is, it will greatly impact the siblings' affection for you once they arrive in Teyvat. If it's soft au, they'll dote on you, and won't hide it. Albedo would ask for your time, chatting about the world and it's lore. Klee would cling onto you every second of the day, make flower crowns with her! Help her with this bomb! Flatten out a cliff she dislikes! Nobody would say no to the daughter of Alice!

However, if it's the villain/imposter au..

Well, let's save the angsty details for another day. All you need to know is; help them, and their affection for you will increase tenfold, and not in a healthy way. Expect tears from Klee, manipulation from Albedo, slowly being isolated from the rest of Teyvat until you can barely remember the faces of other people. Your family, what were they like? Well, they're not important anyway. Klee and Albedo are your family now! Who cares when the world finds out who they really are, and are right outside their door begging for forgiveness? Just take this tea from Klee, big brother Albedo will handle the trash outside!

If you ignore them, ridicule them and toss them out like the rest of the world did, why, they're furious. After everything they've done to build you to be the very best amongst the others, amongst the humans, adepti and archons alike, you treat them like this? Klee is rightfully sad, betrayed and hurt. No, she's not angry. She could never be angry at you, not when you sang the lullabies she fell asleep to in your precious voicelines. Not when your laughter and your joy brought a smile to her face when even Dodoco couldn't. She hasn't suffered much from you and the world compared to her brother seeing as she's just a child, but still, seeing the glare on your face.. It broke her. And it would break you, once you find out what you've done

Albedo would be more enraged, more tormented and betrayed than Klee. He took the brute of most of the hatred spewed out by the monsters in Teyvat. And truthfully he would do it again, if only to spare Klee from the bullshit of this world. But it doesn't change the fact that it hurts. He definitely uses his knowledge against those who hurt them

Kaeya spat in his face, muttering about how disgusting they are under his breath? Oh well, guess Kaeya will just have to confront Diluc about why the entirety of Mondstadt suddenly knows he's a Khaenri'ahn spy. Albedo will gleefully watch on the side as the brothers' relationship cracks and crumbles even more, the regret burning in Diluc's heart and the anger flaming in Kaeya's eyes destroying whatever amount of care they had left for each other

The harbingers hunt him down? It's a good thing he finished the game then, how would they react if all their secrets and plans got leaked out? How would they react after the future gets told, knowing Signora dies and Scaramouche betrays the fatui?

The archons attempted to execute them? It's alright, the world needed to know who Venti and Zhongli are anyway, as well as the fact that Ei's sister is dead, and the almighty shogun is merely a puppet. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to remind them of those they lost, and how disappointed they are in them right now, right? Truly, watching Zhongli's indifferent face morph into that of bewilderment, agony and anger all in one go was just too amusing. Albedo doesn't know what Guizhong would think, truthfully, however surely she would be disappointed as well, no?

And you, oh so perfect and gullible you, he truly doesn't believe that you willingly hurt them like that. Or he doesn't want to. No matter how rational he was and how much he knew your actions were your own, his attachment to you is way deeper than any logical thinking. But whether he believes in you or not, either way he'd have no qualms with using your deepest, darkest secrets against you. After all, he'd have to teach you a lesson. You'll learn to never trust those who aren't him or Klee ever again. You'll learn that you're theirs, you're their comfort and joy, and that is the only thing you'll remain to be for the rest of your life

“It's alright, you were fooled by those imbeciles. I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt us, but still.. It wouldn't hurt to make sure you'll never forget who you belong to again, right?”

— And that's my contribution for SAGAU today! Just wanted to share a brainrot I've been having lol anyway Klee is the best spread the word. Thank you for reading!

[ranalatus]

I have this one draft of Albedo being a yandere in a reverse sagau of sorts (it involves klee platonically) but idk if i should post it,,
