hi I remembered I do actually draw so I FINALLY drew some genshin fanart…. After like 4 years!!!! Geez!!

⚠️ Do not use without proper credit: linking directly back to my account. Do not repost anywhere else ever lol ⚠️

rambling below ↓

I actually get really self conscious I suppose drawing fanart nowadays - I’ve hardly drawn any fanart in years!! I get so wrapped up in making it close to canon and good and all that stuff. But I’ve had such bad art blobs and really wanted to draw someone cute and colorful…… and she popped into mind! This is pretty simple and quick drawing lol, but I like it and am happy with it. I didn’t draw her tights or wings or med bag cuz…. I didn’t wanna <3 I would love to start posting more art here. I hope y’all like it!

i know this isn’t a dc blog sorry to throw dc content at you guys. But my apple watch picture is a panel of nightwing, and yesterday i was pointing at something in a mall and a pokemon center employee approached, stopped me, pointed at my watch and said “oh… pretty man :)” and i cannot stop thinking abt it. Like yeah girl you’re right….. pretty man transcends language barrier…

surprise! My neuvilette ita bag! Ignore the blind boxes under the plush and promo card, I’m using them to get everything at even height.

It’s very messy right now and I’ll clean up more later. I’ve never made an ita bag before and was just excited to get some ideas going. If anyone has ideas or tips, I would really appreciate that - I struggle to get the pins exactly where I want!

↓ rambling below

I also have some more furina and sigewinne pins, as well as some navia and Nahida ones. I’m hoping to get another small blue ita bag for furina, sigewinne, plus some misc pokemon and chiikawa pins I bought. I’ll probably get small yellow and green purses for navia and nahida! Or, if you have other ideas on displaying pin buttons, I’d love to hear that too… I’m at a bit of a loss!

I’m so happy with all the neuvilette merch I got. He’s the reason I got back into genshin last year! I also kin him (<- the reason for the trans and autistic pins). Hopefully later this summer I’ll be able to go to a convention with this bag.

In other news, I’m back from Japan and ready to pull for skirk tonight, since I didn’t get kinich. Happy pulling everyone!

You said you do headcannons, can you tell me a few you have right now?

of course!! ill go by region but this is pretty unorganized/rambly lol. there are some archon quest spoilers in here, but nothing 'new'

to start actually: i imagine my party doing this story. THEY really did fight stormterror and childe, THEY had to sneak around inazuma to avoid the vision hunt decree, all FOUR of them really got stuck in the samsara... etc. the story follows the four of them plus the traveler <3

also almost EVERY hc regarding the traveler means either twin. theyre both bi to me.

anyways. LONGG post coming up :3

mondstat:

bennett, razor, and fischel are really close friends. mika is a newer friend of theirs but he's so anxiety riddled lol, he also plans ahead while none of the former do. a more unique (I think) headcanon with this is that diona is also close to them and sometimes adventures with them, even though shes younger. she likes to get out and adventure! she'll yell at bennett and then razor will give her the silent treatment until she feels bad and apologizes, lol. this hc is just bc my first and long-time team was xingqiu, razor, bennett, and diona :-) they're my babies

bennett has reoccuring pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax. i started hcing this after i got diagnosed with pneumomediastinum!

razor nuzzles his friends to show affection. bennett acts like its 100% normal too

bennett is taller than razor, mika is taller than bennett, fischel is taller than the three of them lol (diona is ofc the smallest)

liyue:

in my heart lan yan, yun jin, gaming, xingqiu, and chongyun are like teenagers / younger than other adults in liyue. theyre all friends and it makes me so happy (<- guy who loves lantern rite).

xiangling, hu tao, yanfei and xinyan are also like. younger than the adults but older than the previously mentioned group. idk this is my teyvat now

xingqiu and chongyun are like the middle school friends who everyone knows will wind up togetehr, but somehow they're both oblivious

also xingqiu is autistic but like, the type of autism to get diagnosed as a toddler and then put into gifted classes. this sounds crazy LOL but to me its like he was dx and his dad never told him and now that he's older he feels out of place and burnt out and doesn't know why. and then his dad tells him and hes like WHAT and he hyperfixates on psychology for three weeks during which he visits yumemizuki <- sorry crazed ramble but this is what my heart tells me <3

hc specifically bc of my team: xingqiu is well traveled bc of his family, and he KNOWS that everyone in the adventurers guild avoids bennett like the plauge. he is so hesitant to be on a team with him. and a lot of times bennett will say, "well it cant get any worse!" and xingqiu is like "STOP. SAYING THAT. IT ALWAYS DOES."

i remember minimal about liyue T_T but perilous trail/interlude 2 is one of my fave quests EVER. i loved it so much even though i dont care for the chasm

inazuma:

kokomi is autistic

yae miko and yumemizuki are LESBIANNSSSSS (and exes)!!! i think ei is aro/ace spectrum but like autistic-coded so complicated labels. she just likes miko <3

in my mind ayaka is crushing on the traveler (either gender) and thoma. thoma is also crushing on ayaka and the traveler. the traveler is ALSO crushing on ayaka and thoma lol. but ayaka and thoma end up together after the traveler leaves! i have a lot of 'passive relationships' (?) like this in my head i think its cute and realistic for people to be crushing :3

sumeru (mostly nahida oops):

waking up to tighnari after passing out... traveler had a big fat crush on that man!!! and i dont think its reciprocal or deep or anything. theyre just like DAMN hes pretty and smart .....

i also think collei kinda crushed on amber when she first met her. like shes this awesome girl who can do everything to her, and collei is REALLY embarrassed abt it. i think collei matures to just respect her but it starts out as a little crush. it was never reciprocated ofc

faruzan and citlali know of each others existences bc i said so ... idk enough about faruzan to know how they'd get along but i like to think they'd get on fine

nahida... my baby. i got her soon after i started playing genshin again and she was my first limited 5* :-) my team changed to xingqiu, razor, bennett, and nahida!

in my mind, diona left the team to spend some time in sumeru and then go back home to mondstat :3 nahida chose to join the team because of her drive to learn more and her affinity towards the traveler.

one time nahida pets razor like hes a puppy and bennett is like hey thats not cool okay he isnt actually a dog. but razor just gives her a thumbs up lol

nahida is fascinated by bennetts unluckiness!! she thinks its amazing how he can mystically make all situations worse, lol

xingqiu is fascinated by nahida.... obviously. after meeting furina for the first time, hes sort of mad *thats* his vision-provider and not nahida lol. but anyways with her on the team he tries to act sooo perfect and intelligent at all times, while razor and bennett are like :/ bc hes loosened up around them before. but nahida knows hes trying to impress her because.... mindreading. she tells him thats nice but she much prefers people being genuine. xingqiu is sort of distraught LOL but he gets over it and does prefer being himself on the team :3

xingqiu has suchhhh a hard time communicating with the aranara. he finds nondirect communication nearly impossible and gets really frustrated but he can't get mad at them cause they're just little guys

fontaine:

furina is genderless. also i hc that she has some vague vision issues before focalors death, since focalors worked through her.

ALSO in my heart furinas vision looks more unique because it was granted by a sovereign rather than an archon.

neuvillette can also walk on water T_T also he has more dragon-like features to me. please give that boy a tail

clorinde and navia are in lesbians

i think upon entering fontaine, the traveler is like holy shit this pretty boy (lyney). holy shit this pretty lady (furina). holy shit this pretty lady (navia). like its ROUGH for them lol. and then they get to the fortress and wriothesley is there and they're like DAMN!!!

i hc only lyney reciprocates during the story lol, he definitely has a crush on the traveler. lynette makes fun of him for it. however i think: navia can DEFINITELY tell the traveler has a crush on her, and she teases them about it. and furina grows really fond of the traveler as the story progresses (while the traveler starts to dislike her more until the end... lol.). i dont see it romantically or anything but i think furina really does love the travelers companionship

lynette and freminet are autistic. they like to sit in silence together.

lyney's only feline trait is cat paw pads, which makes sleight of hand easier... this is totally stolen from some fanart and im not sure of the artist. if anyone is, feel free to let me know <3

onto team-specfiic hcs. xingqiu HATES furina so much, he is so disappointed meeting the hydro archon, who provided his vision, and seeing she's like... that. obviously as the story progresses hes more sympathetic towards her and eventually really amazed by focalor's entire plan.

nahida and furina so get along. they're sweet together and friends, they share desserts from their nations :3 nahida feels so sympathetic towards furina she treats her like a kid sometimes

after finally leaving the fortress of meropide, witnessing the execution of a god, and surviving a great flood, bennett tells the team that natlan will definitely be better, it has to be! bennett is wrong and xingqiu knows it.

before leaving fontaine for natlan, neuvillette joins the team. i never rationalized this with headcanons lol. he replaced razor and i hc that razor went back to mondstat bc he missed home... everyone is fine with neuvillette but intimidated by him, except for nahida she just thinks he's nice. i think they have deep intellectual convos together and talk about humanity together.

natlan:

i love citlali and hoyoverse doesnt deserve her, i kill all her fanservice ...

citlali has albinism (OCA 1) and thus poor vision. she loves scroll weaving and unique color manipulation not just because of huitzilin, but also because it lets her see and feel the world in a new way

varesa is so aroace to me and idk why lol.

kachina and only kachina has permission to touch xilonen's tail. mauvika still does when she's mad at her though

my team? TRAUMATIZED. nahida is horrified by war and all the death around her and bennett finally stops telling people 'next time it'll be better.' i imagine that all four of them are just kinda. jesus christ what now.

my team shifts a LOT during this period lol, i got citlali, then clorinde on accident, gaming, and recently i've gotten sigewinne, furina, and navia... so yeah. i dont have any super consistent team hcs for natlan T_T

chasca and ororon are both autistic

[meludream]

oh nothing just thinking about how it’s almost impossible for furina to beat arlecchino on her own since her charged attack is unique. She can keep herself alive but can’t defeat her. Which could mean nothing

[meludream]

Sorry for the lag in posting, I’m trying to get my energy back after Covid X[. I made myself a weekly guide for genshin though since I’ve been struggling to remember and prioritize properly! I’m happy with it, and I made it so I can switch out the characters easily as needed.

Rambling below ↓

Right now my focuses are skirk and furina - my team is skirk, sigewinne, citlali, and furina! Citlali is almost triple crowned now and I’m also working towards that :) I’m REALLY pleased with skirk and very happy that I got her. Shes a great dps and even though my team may not be uber ideal (Citlali and sigewinne could be replaced by better units probably) it still works great. I have decent artifacts (and hate farming for them) soooo… focusing on getting everyone’s talents leveled up first, lol. I kind of just want to triple crown all four of them but I’m worried about wasting crowns…

I also have a hyperbloom team of Nahida, clorinde, citlali and furina- so I’m working on Nahida and clorinde too! Clorinde’s books are the same as furina’s though so… second priority. I’ve kind of neglected my Nahida so I do really need to get back to leveling her lol, I love using her

[meludream]

look at my stygian onslaught record!!! I’m so proud of it! :D I’m very pleased with my teams at the moment. Yay!
