a little letter to my fellow helpols and shifters ♥️
sometimes i feel really lonely, and felt especially so when i didn’t have anyone to spend halloween with. but then i remember i have literal deities in my corner, i have an altar in my room, and doing little devotional acts like praying really helps to feel like i have someone there for me. it’s such a comforting feeling and i want to share it 🫂
helpols, remember the gods love you no matter what, it’s okay to take a break and focus on yourself, they would want you to prioritise self care.
shifters, you’re so powerful, and you deserve all the love in the multiverse. go shift babes, have fun, live your lives to the fullest, do what makes you happy.
so if ever anyone feels a little lonely, i’m always so excited to make new shifting friends on here. so dm me, comment, send an ask, idm.
𝔗here once existed three realms within the world of Euthymia：Etheran, ruled by those hailing from old skies；Meterra, a land thrumming with life and fertility；and Altrunne, where the only way to thrive is to swim with the current.
𝔈𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔞𝔫 ☀️🪽🌊
𝔈𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔞𝔫 is known for highly nuanced discoveries in combining magic with developing technology. The realm is occupied by and built to accomodate the Seraphic races — winged, sharp-eyed and clever beings ranging from humanoid avian hybrids to telepathic angels with a common third or even fourth eye. After the Great Division (read about Altrunne) and its consequent opening of inter-realm communication, Etherans befriended Meterrans and worked as a joint force to engineer a safe and efficient method of transport between the two realms.
Etheran has a beautiful, unique culture, attracting lots of tourism, for the views and the food, and immigrating youth searching for opportunities in education or careers — especially those passionate about magical and technological developments.
𝔐𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔯𝔞 🌲⚔️🏰
𝔐𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔯𝔞 is inhabited by humans, elves, faye, dryads, dragons, centauri, vampiric beings, merfolk and many more diverse species. The land is divided into seven nations：The Deidre forest villages；their neighbouring province of Floria；The Kingdom of Solrun；The Qaeli Ocean；The Usurna Republic；The Draconic Empire of Ryuu；The Rhyne centauri Territories；and the faye nation of Xeithe.
Meterra is diverse in its entirety and harmonious, filled with traveling businesses, commission parties and families — the inhabitants of the realm tend to find keen interests in traveling within and outside of their realm, while curiously, inter-realm immigration here is quite uncommon.
𝔄𝔩𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔫𝔫𝔢 ⚰️🎭
Centuries ago, 𝔄𝔩𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔫𝔫𝔢 used to be a part of Etheran. Travel between Old Etheran and Meterra was unheard of, let alone any form of contact between the two. However, a mass conflict resulted in the high council of Etheran cleaving the realm in two. What is now Altrunne fell to a place far below Meterra, which was also one of the leading causes of travel between the now three realms becoming available.
Altrunne is not only inhabited by a range of mixed and new races, but also by ghosts, apparitions, spirits and mysterious, sometimes “undead” life forms. Typically, Etherans avoid any engagement with Altrunnans, and those in Meterra associated with Altrunne are sometimes more prone to social exclusion, however, it is not a major political issue.The largest problem caused by lack of interaction with the Seraphic engineers is the unguaranteed safety of the journey between Meterra and Altrunne.
Altrunne in the day is typically cool and overcast, and during the night, the realm comes alive with galas, parties, masquerades, theatre, music, dancing and more. Their society is wild, free and lively, unapologetic in doing so and welcoming to all.
𝔥𝔢𝔩𝔦𝔬𝔰 is an old part of Celestia that fell to the seas of Teyvat around the time of the cataclysm, losing centuries upon centuries of history. Today, the gods of old from Helios are no more than mere, fleeting whispers floating upon the breeze. The Three Solar Archons of the lost elements Luxro, Phantasma and Umbra were said to have dwelled in Helios — but their stories have been splattered across the lands of Teyvat since the cataclysm, disappearing into myths and legends.

Kaede Takizawa (Japanese: 滝沢 楓, Hepburn: Takizawa Kaede; born March 30 2003) is a Japanese video content creator and composer.
Kaede Takizawa
滝沢 楓
Born March 30, 2003
(age 21)
Sapporo, Japan
Occupations Composer・Video game
developer
Years active 2021-present
Place of study Tokyo Geidai
Height 168cm (5 ft 5 in)
⌄ Biography
Kaede was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, but spent most of their upbringing in Melbourne, Australia, where they completed primary and secondary schooling. Their career path brought them back to Japan for tertiary studies.
⌄ Career
Influences in Kaede’s career include a vast range of media — growing up playing cello after watching a video by 2Cellos with a star wars cosplay and an accordion, bridging from a music taste of J-pop to J-metal via Babymetal and learning bass guitar to indulge practically in that interest, as well as fiddling around on various other instruments like piano, ukelele, acoustic guitar and viola.
But their interest in composition kicked off during high school music class, where straight 100% grades boosted their confidence. A high school portfolio of string orchestral compositions and years of experience in string and symphony ensembles combined with a niche interest in gacha/anime-style video games such as those by developing companies MiHoYo and Infold. This led to their return to Japan — a familiar place, on top of being a country with an enormous videogame industry, Japan was still home to Kaede no matter where their travels took them.
Geidai, Tokyo’s university of arts, piqued Kaede’s interest, and with their extensive prior knowledge and keen interest, it was no trouble having their application accepted — and the rest was history.
⌄ Discography
During university, Kaede released one instrumental EP at the end of each year, constituting of the music they had composed both within grounds of their studies and creations as a result of free time. Kaede has mentioned their musical inspirations during their vlogging, explaining that the concepts of each EP were based on certain characters in a story they began writing in late high school. When writing became tedious and music became a larger focus in their life, it was easier to tell the story the way Kaede knew best, and so these short concept albums were created:
December 8 2021: Abomination
Eroded Faith
Pure and Undiluted
What was Supposed to Be
Twist
This EP was the beginning of a series that make up the unwritten story. Abomination revolves around a character who embodies corruption in a religious setting, a social commentary by Kaede on past human mistakes throughout a history of religion.
November 30 2022: Fragmented
To Fear
To Hate
To be Loved
Evermore
Fragmented revolves around emotional themes that play a large role in this story. Each song represents a fragment of a deity character, a smaller individual spirit with certain values. To Fear and To Hate harness more raw, powerful and uncensored emotions through their musical techniques, while To Love and Evermore put those conflicting, tense feelings at ease with a calmer tone that sounds like acceptance.
December 10 2023: Undone
Mountain of Corpses
Destroyed
In Darker Dreams
Forget-Me-Not
Time’s Mirror
Undone follows another character, troubled by themes of death and memory loss, reflected in the uncertain and hesitant tones in the music as well as the titles. Deianikh, said character, was named a combination of Greek ‘Deianira’, meaning ‘Man destroyer’, and Sanskrit ‘Solikh’, meaning the flower of death found atop a mountain made of corpses and that reveals one’s true intentions.
⌄ Notes
After their fourth year, completing a diploma on top of the bachelor degree, Kaede has shared plans on their YouTube vlog channel to apply to join a yet-to-be disclosed game company in hopes of composing music for this upcoming video game. Keep your ears peeled and plugged, because with Kaede’s interest in heavy metal and their brilliant talent for composition, the release of the game and its soundtrack is sure to come out with a bang!
