“There are some IPC higher ups who wish to take Silverwolf!MC, see if their children had the same looks and abilities. There are also some higher-ups who wish to experiment on Silverwolf!MC. Then there are those who wish to... break, them... ya... fuck the IPC.”
…Qlipoth sloooowly turns around to look at these people when THEY hear their plans. The IPC members mysteriously die of “Sudden explosive stone projectile to the face”. Qlipoth turns around and goes back to building THEIR wall. People witnessing this quietly change their plans or outright give up on hunting Silverwolf!MC.

It's clear that whatever is up with Silver wolf!MC, the Amber Lord wanted the ICP to stay the fuck away from them, and to most of all, keep their damn mouths shut and cease all plans.
…your tags (#long!mc is zhongli and #qlipoth is Azhdaha) now have me imagining them on Teyvat AS Zhongli and Azhdaha. (It’s their holiday/honeymoon.) Does this make sense lore-wise? Absolutely not. Would Teyvat’s reactions to the “archon” and “sovereign” being something way more powerful and beyond comprehension than they thought be funny? Absolutely.
(If, then I’d say it’s Dan F/Heng and the Astral Express that give it away. They crash or visit Teyvat and before anyone can do anything to them (Fatui, Celestia, Hexenzirkel, Abyss, whatever), Zhongli shows up and Dan F/Heng calls “him” his parent.)

While ywah, none of this would make sense lore wise, I too LOVE the idea of Long!MC and Qlipoth disguising themselves as 'Morax/Rex Lapis/Zhongli' and 'Azhdaha'. 😍
Gosh, I can already see Long!MC having adopted the Adepti (they may not be their kin, but they're THEIRS), and Qlipoth, lol, they reluctantly went along with Long!MC's idea of a vacation.
Though the idea of Qlipoth disguising themselve as a rock dragon was still a little strange, and Long!MC definitely laughed their noodly ass off watching their 'friend' walk around on 4 legs! 🤣
Oh, and the reactions. It would be glorious! These two beings are fucking overpowered as hell! And can you imagine Neuvillette's reaction to the 'Geo Usurper's' true identity? Like, a primordial god who created a draconic race probably far older than even Nibelung himself?!
And the HP... yeah, I can see them being killed in seconds the moment they try to kill the Astral Express crew.
Long!MC saw danger going near their hatchling, and said NOPE! Aw, but this meant they blew their cover and their vacation now had to end (after 1000s and 1000s of years)... bummer.
Oh, but imagine this leads to the Vidyadhara now visiting Liyue and sharing the gospel that is Long!MC. Like this is truth behind the Geo Archon.
Yep, no Blade! Just Yingxing not being able to control the Vidyadhara shapeshifting well enough and changing his hair colour to black for a bit.
And yesssss, Qlipoth does have a favourite and it’s a long ass noodly lizard with a giant gaggle of descendants.
THEY hear the rumours of Long!MC’s death and pause in building their wall. Qlipoth swears they would’ve known if Long!MC died, but what if they didn’t? It worries them enough that they leave the wall (Scaring the shit out of the IPC) to look for Long!MC. Qlipoth ends up following Long!MC’s trail to one of his Scions home-ships, where they take on a Vidyadhara-like form. There he comes across Long!MC and one of their descendants arguing whether “Long” is dead in front of some non-Vidyadharan guests. Qlipoth is very close to interrupting the argument - Maybe they thinkk Aha did something? - but Long!MC catches sight of them and stops the “argument” to go over to Qlipoth. Long!MC explains what’s going on and seems delighted that Qlipoth was worried enough to come and look for them.
(Also, if Long!MC looks like Zhongli, Qlipoth can look like a human Azhdaha. No it’s not just because I ship Rezhong why do you ask)

Oh my god, YES! 🤩
Qlipoth is a chunky rock, and Azhdaha is a chunky rock dragon. It's all coming together now!
So, I'm currently working on a fic for AO3 that is Nanook/Caelus/Qlipoth with both Nanook and Qlipoth being romantic yanderes. And the more I look at this pair, the more I have to resist snorting.
Because due to the new updates with Jade's plan for an "Anti-Destruction Alliance", it is absolutely hilarious to think that the IPC is patting themselves on the back for the idea while their Aeon (who has been on the Astral Express for a while now in their human form) is engaging in banter with The Destruction (also been on the Astral Express for a while in their humanoid form) and they're both getting along (in their own weird way).
Jade (and possibly many others) would be pissed and look at their Aeon and point at Nanook like, "Lord Qlipoth, that is The Destruction!"
At first, Qlipoth is just like, "I know?", "Your point?". Just confused as to why they're pointing out something that Qlipoth already knew. The next second though, they are throwing hands with their followers because they dare insult their Aeon's intelligence?! They didn't suddenly lose braincells!
Nanook is amused by it all. Caelus is just watching it all go down.
Lecture Notes: Hypothesis on Imagenae Evolution (Excerpt)
Lecture notes from a scholar's presentation. Found on top of a cabinet in front of Froggy Whiteboard.
You ask why I got into studying imagenae? It all started when I cursed out generations of my ploo deskmate's ancestors.
— Dr. Soda
On the Formation and Evolution Hypothesis of Imagenae, this was the first lecture topic that came to mind when I was invited back to Graphia Academy. It was my third-grade summer essay, and since then, I've formed an inseparable bond with science. Due to the turmoil of the Cindearth Age and the Canvas Age, the evolutionary history of imagenae has been lost to time, but based on mythology and the physiological structure of imagenae, we can still glimpse into their ancient secrets.
The Cellular Automaton Hypothesis
Within the Intelligentsia Guild, cellular automaton is the mainstream hypothesis. In the era before Graphia created imagenae, everything in Planarcadia would gain life whenever the Phantasmoon was full, joining the revelry during the Phantasmoon Games.
During this period, Phantasmoon will trigger humanity's "Wishpower," which, strictly speaking, is the energy driven by the Path of Elation. This energy permeates into surrounding substance. The inherent primary drive within Wishpower then supplies behavioral templates to this substance, whether discrete or aggregated. Here, from the triad of energy, substance, and behavioral patterns, regulated living machines thus emerge, known as "strangelings."
From plants to appliances, any substance infused with Wishpower can come alive. Lacking sufficient intelligence, they gather by instinct and disperse once reaching a threshold, much like modern wispae. Therefore, they tend to remain in primitive life phases, cycling from simplicity to complexity before collapsing back into elementary patterns.
It is not until Graphia invents imagenetic technology that the conundrum of forming complex structures in natural imagenae is overcome. By artificially designing their forms and imbuing them with narrative pulse, these imagenae are given a robust skeleton capable of supporting vast amounts of substance and energy. These complex behavioral patterns and skeletons, in turn, create the necessary conditions for intelligence to emerge, ultimately giving birth to the imagenae as we know them today.
Spirit-Bone-Flesh Hypothesis
The Spirit-Bone-Flesh Hypothesis offers a distinctly Mourning Actor perspective. While it shares many commonalities with the previous theory, the chaos effect of nature plays a much more significant role in it.
This hypothesis posits that all sentient life is composed of three components: spirit, bone, and flesh. The spirit is consciousness, energy, the Wishpower that permeates Planarcadia. Bone is the framework, the essence of all things, the concept of existence itself. Flesh is blood and tissue, the outline, the physical vessel and outer appearance that carries life. These three parts can arise and persist independently within the natural world.
The ancient Planarcadia was like a massive primordial soup. Human arrival and the rise of Phantasmoon combined as ample stimulation, along with various spurs, causing substances to evolve from the unconscious to consciousness, with stable forms eventually settling out through natural selection. For the imagenae to gain intelligence was all but inevitable, so all Graphia did was uncover the means to replicate their formation process.
The Cake of God Hypothesis
The Structuralist Baking School claims that, based on fragments of the lost The Ultra-Cosmic Baking Compendium, the prototype of imagenae originated from a cake baked by Aha when THEY were starving while being hunted by other Aeons during the Swarm Disaster.
THEY used debris from a divine battle (presumably biomatter left behind when the Propagation and another Aeon pulled each other's hair) as eggs, sugar stolen from the "World's End" as seasoning, and finally plucked a leaf from Yaoshi to replace flour, creating the perfect Cake of God. (Note: Some scholars see this as proof of Yaoshi's existence during the Swarm Disaster, but the Baking School generally maintains this is a textual error and is dedicated to restoring the true "flour.")
For many years after, Aha missed that flavor dearly. THEY sought various ingredients to recreate the universe's best cake. These materials piled up like construction materials beside Qlipoth, eventually forming Planarcadia. THEY built a giant oven to heat the cake, a tool later known as the Phantasmoon. It is said that Aha's tears of joy fell when THEY successfully remade the Cake of God using a cup of gasoline, two races, and three limericks.
In time, countless chefs gathered here to learn from Aha. Millennia later, a master baker finally recreated the Cake of God using soil, ink, and stories based on the Miracle. Thus did she name them "imagenae." And her name was Graphia.
Had the most amazing idea regarding a future work. This is centered around Qlipoth x Caelus, but also focuses on Aventurine.
So, I'm currently working on a romantic yandere Qlipoth x Caelus fanfic (The Preservation is a good ol' fashioned lover boy, trust) and I had an idea concerning my Yandere Aeons series where Caelus mothers the children of the romantic yandere Aeons. I have decided Qlipoth is getting a son named Dzintars (which means amber in Latvian).
So my brilliant idea is that Caelus decides to make Aventurine the godfather. Qlipoth is definitely raising a brow because they thought he was going to pick one of the people of the Astral Express (Caelus also had to explain godparents to them). However, Caelus is standing firm in this decision.
Aventurine learns about the decision only when Diamond shows him the paperwork and has to reboot mentally several times before he breaks down alone because he was that trusted—
Trust that he will be an amazing godfather though.
Caelus: Oh, Aventurine, did you come to see your godson?
Aventurine, fresh off of several breakdowns and a shopping spree:
Qlipoth, who is currently holding Dzintars: Ah, good to see you. Here, you should hold him.
Aventurine, who is about to pass out at this point but is resolute in holding the child:
So I think my initiation with Set/Sutekh and then a short trip into the Qlipoth has me going a little bit into psychosis. This has never happened to me before. Let the psychosis reign or go to urgent care lol. I don't feel I am in danger of hurting myself or others, and my cats are still getting fresh food, water, and litter box twice a day BUT, pretty sure I am going to lose my apartment. But I heard the warnings and I still gave auditory consent.
I've always been bipolar but not to this level. I'm still taking my meds.
I gave Sutekh a challenge today.
Looks like things are going downhill in my life but I've never felt my heart this full before.
Is this normal, or do I need psychiatric help?
Maybe both? I have been pretty shut up in this weather recently.
I'm not complaining about this if it's something spiritual happening. But I will complain if it's my meds not working! I have lines in the sand you know.
