The ascent was so swift it took his breath away.

He was floating. He was glowing. Lines of brilliant blue ran up his wrists, across his chest, under the fabric of his clothes. He looked down at himself, and his held breath abruptly left him in a huff of involuntary laughter – he was glorious. At last.

Currently writing for this series: ✨Mended with Gold✨ - both long and short Wanderer-centric Genshin stories, as canon-compliant as possible, featuring his healing and self-expression in Sumeru and beyond, with lots of Nahida, the Aranara, Durin, and other characters by his side.

These are chronological as events happened ingame, but can all be read as standalones!

🍃The wind guides, the forest remembers (39,510 words, 8 chapters) - right after gaining his Vision in Inversion of Genesis, the Wanderer goes for his first flight, ends up somewhere he didn't intend, and gets adopted by the Aranara for a while. Much-needed forest therapy ensues, as well as an unplanned tutorial on his new powers.

🌷Dream Flower (2,452 words) - coming to terms with the name the Traveler gave him, and the one that wasn't given as well.

🍵Warm Care, Bitter Truth (3,432 words) - It's a cold night up in the Divine Tree. Luckily there are ways to warm back up, inside and out.

⛅Enlightenment after the rain (2,663 words) - Haypasia returns to her meditation cave to pick up some supplies, but the cave already has an occupant. He seems impossibly familiar.

🌱It's Called Growth (1,786 words) - Nahida almost did something drastic when faced with the Dendro Dragon. Someone isn't taking it well.

🩹Papercut (1,413 words) - Nahida gets a papercut. Small and silly :P

🏅The Wishful Thinking of Idiots (56,724 words, 8 chapters) - The Akademiya Extravaganza, from Hat Guy's perspective. His (sharply opinionated) thoughts on the matter, what he was up to behind the scenes, and ways he interacted with the other contestants.

⚔On swords and those who wield them (10,902 words, 3 chapters) - the Wanderer practices telling his true story through sword dance.

🌄Splendorous Skies (118,032 words, 17 chapters) - Khvarena of Good and Evil, with Wanderer in the Traveler's place by Sorush' side as her Yasnapati, standing against the Abyss.

📖Dark shapes flutter free (980 words) - The Wanderer (re)starts a little journal of haiku.

🌠Vantage Point (1,821 words) - the Traveler (me) giving out a gift on my own birthday, Teyvat style. Also, wishing my way to C6 Wanderer. ❤

🎉The Return of the Sabzeruz Festival (12,641 words) - Happy birthday, Nahida. ❤ The Sumeran festival event we didn't get. (2023 edition, before it was cool.)

⛲A Cage of Your Own Making (84,189 words, 8 chapters) - ‘It is forbidden to release any flying objects during the first three days of each month.’ Nahida and the Wanderer visit... different parts of Fontaine.

🌊No adventures on the mountain (1,067 words) - I'm not salty about that giant empty mountain in Sumeru's north. But the ocean is.

🎂This sweetness isn’t so bad (5,631 words) - It's just another ordinary day for the Wanderer. Until people look up his birthday in the Akademiya records.

🐟Rainjade Ovation (ongoing, chapter 1/10) - After finishing his essay on Fontainian law, the Wanderer earns himself a little holiday, accompanying a certain star performer in search of inspiration in Chenyu Vale. A Hero's Journey ensues, because of course.

🐝Heirs of lightning, breakers of silence (3,077 words) - the Wanderer's first meetings with the leader of the Temple of Silence. Busy bees, flying lotuses. :P

🎭At the mercy of the mages (8,977 words, 2 chapters) - the Wanderer is summoned to the Imaginarium Theater. His disappointment is immeasurable and his day is ruined. Moreso in chapter 2.

🐉The Light Beyond the End (84,387 words, 7 chapters) - Summertide Scales and Tales, from Wanderer's perspective. Sometimes, becoming a Hero is about deciding to help just one person, even if the title feels like a mockery. <3

🌺Chromatic Ode of Annoyance (65,579 words, 6 chapters (2 of them silly bonuses)) - it's Sabzeruz again. A certain introverted Wanderer is dragged into things even though he wanted to keep a bit more distance this time - and all his floating friends are included.

🎁Pleasant surprises, lighting the way (9,450 words) - the Wanderer celebrates his birthday by means of card games, preemptive socializing, and a fairytale surprise party.

⛵As Though Waking from a Dream (2,143 words) - a Sumeran ship sets sail for Inazuma bearing a package. The Wanderer ponders a few things back on the shore.

🫧Dreams and Nightmares (ongoing, chapter 1/?) - the Wanderer saves his first fledgeling by flying him to Sumeru's hospital... and other stories that never were. Multiple planned but writing very slowly.

❤️‍🔥Go Forth, and Save the Dragon (145,514 words, 14 chapters) - Paralogism, with added Wanderer. The hardest thing he's done recently, but... anything for his fledgeling. The terror is part of them growing up, surely.

🌒Furtive moonlight, bright and veiled (ongoing, chapter 2/6?) - Luna I and II, with added Wanderer. He came along on the same ship as Albedo and Durin, but where was he during these patches?

💐A quiet bridge between our hearts (1,930 words) - Nahida writes her birthday letter, but also receives one of her own.

🌓Nod-Krai story 2 (6.2) - 3 chapters, to be written

🌟Durin's story quest - to be written

🪶Light as Dreamlike Satins (5,454 words) - the Wanderer's mood gradually lightens after that fateful Moon-Prayer Night.

🌔Nod-Krai story 3 (6.3) - to be written

🎀Being alive is a happy thing (6,415 words) - Durin has been a part of Teyvat for one whole year. This deserves a proper celebration!

🌳Pages of Purana story - to be written, I am so scared

🌌Shadowpiercing Starlight (3,728 words) - Sethos' birthday comes and goes. It doesn't remain entirely unnoticed.

...and more to come because I'm far from done with this lad :D

Also, set before all the others:

🍀Sapienta Oromasdis (19,891 words, 6 chapters) - Nahida is freed from her cage, and experiences a few things for the first time.

☔Wisdom's Shadow (36,512 words, 6 chapters) - Nahida deals with a comatose Scaramouche, and his inevitable wakeup.

🪷Unmade, Remade (41,590 words, 12 chapters) - Inversion of Genesis, from Scaramouche / Wanderer's POV. Let's go through the wringer together this time.

Also also:

🍑Sunny Sky, an ongoing (GORGEOUS) comic drawn by the marvellous ✨Lumier✨ (now also on tumblr!) and supplied with written material by me, about her younger Scaramouche segment Kuni meeting my Kintsugi. Two rash puppet boys going on an adventure! :D

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol

[clonerightsagenda]

When I was at the natural history museum, the fossil section had stickers on the glass to engage children - things like "Flap your arms like a pterodactyl" or "Measure your hand against the mosasaurus." However the first of these I encountered, which I found alarming and threatening without context, was a sticker reading "Struggle like you are stuck in a tar pit"

[clonerightsagenda]

I feel like more bright colors, an exclamation mark, or a more whimsical font choice would've also helped here to indicate that it is a Fun Activity For Children. Instead it felt like getting instructed in my inevitable fate by a road sign

it’s a shame more vampire media doesn’t pull from vampire bat behavior because they’re such sweeties. they can only survive their incredibly specialized diet because bats will share blood with colony members that didn’t find a meal! there’s evidence that suggests the donors sometimes initiate this behavior themselves by approaching hungry bats! the colonies are mostly harems of females with a few males but they’ve been observed letting unrelated males in when it gets cold so they can all stay warm! cute little social critters!

The intersex inclusive progress flag, but with the original eight stripe pride flag as a base!

So my queer platonic partner and I couldn’t find a version of the intersex inclusive progress pride flag that used the original eight-stripe rainbow flag and as a result we decided to make one because we feel that sex and magic deserve to be explicitly recognized as an important part of the queer experience and we also highly value the explicit inclusion and focusing of marginalized communities by the progress flag The components of the flag and some information on their histories are below:

The original, eight-striped Rainbow LGBTQ pride flag, designed by Gilbert Baker, in 1978. The Stripes and their meanings are:

Hot Pink (Hot Pink if the color makes it hard to read on your screen): Sex (Removed in 1978 due to unavailability of correctly colored fabric)

Red (Red): Life

Orange (Orange): Healing

Yellow (Yellow): Sunlight

Green (Green): Nature

Turquoise (Turquoise): Magic/Art (Merged with indigo as a blue stripe in 1979 to make the number of colors even)

Indigo (Indigo): Serenity (Merged with turquoise as a blue stripe in 1979 retaining the serenity label from indigo or sometimes re-labeled as harmony/peace)

Violet (Violet): Spirit

The progress pride flag chevrons, implemented atop the six color flag by Daniel Quasar in 2018. Xe added chevrons representing marginalized identities and the left-to-right (or hoist-to-fly on a flag) point represents forward movement and that progress still needs to be made. The stripes and their meanings are:

White (White): Non-binary, agender, intersex, and transitioning trans people (adapted from the trans pride flag designed by Monica Helms in 1999 - defined as “for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.” )

Light Pink (Light Pink): Transfeminine people (The traditional color for baby girls in the Monica Helms 1999 flag)

Light Blue (Light Blue): Transmasculine people (The traditional color for baby boys in the Monica Helms 1999 flag)

Brown (Brown): Marginalized people of color

Black (Black): Marginalized people of color as well as “those living with AIDS, those no longer living, and the stigma surrounding them.” (quoted portion directly borrows Daniel Quasar’s wording from xyr 2018 kickstarter.)

The intersex pride chevron, added to the progress flag design by Valentino Vecchietti in 2021 implementing the design of the intersex pride flag by Morgan Carpenter of Intersex Human Rights Australia in July 2013 as another chevron in the progress motif. The intersex flag uses yellow (yellow) and purple (purple) as long regarded intersex colors and an “unbroken and unornamented” circle to symbolize “wholeness and completeness, and our potentialities.” (Morgan’s wording quoted from his description of the flag)

Also, here's the .svg of the flag if you're the kinda freak who’s into that sort of thing: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Hyacynthia/62627de22f77b25af11dd88f93f8b3e4/raw/946e94281ac700edc3be34837b291b6840295f4a/8%2520Color%2520Intersex%2520Inclusive%2520Progress%2520Pride%2520Flag

Leaf your leaves on the ground (no, seriously.) They provide so much for bugs, places to lay eggs places to hibernate. This comic does a great job at showing WHY we don't see our little friends as often, because our systems and social expectations are anti-earth and anti-life. Don't eradicate your friends (maybe just that one) let the leaves lay

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
