I JUST DID CYNOS SECOND STORY QUEST I LOVE THE SUMERIAN CHARACTERS SO MUCH
sumeru is my fave character wise. while fontaine is my fave in terms of experience, music, and over all calming effect the water has on me.
so basically, fontaine is my vacation house. but sumeru is my home.
GOD I LOVE SUMERU UGH. has some of my most favourite characters (and concepts, mechanics, morals of the stories) all in one region. ive never felt so strongly abt genshin characters UNTIL sumeru it’s actually crazy /srs
a/n: short cause i dont actually know her very well. i wanna go through the story quests again of characters im most interested in writing about to figure how to write them. that’ll take a while tho so i am basing it off what i remember from archon quests, events, and story quests i did a while ago
She needs to, because it hurts too much otherwise.
Everyday was another scene number. The endless play that is her life. A show that can never end, or Fontaine and its people are doomed to the flood. As she remains to cry on her throne. As the prophecy reigns terror onto the land.
So instead, she endures the weight of this responsibility in her lonesome. To be able to cry because of keeping everyone alive is a gift. Instead of crying because she succumbed to her weaknesses and letting them die.
The only solace she has is when she is finally allowed to be alone.
When it is just her in her room. The eyes are finally off of her, and the curtains come to a close. She curls up in her bed.
She shuts her eyes tight. Her brows knitted in concentration. Just so that she can conjure an image of you in her head. The creator.
She imagines you are in bed with her. That she is in your warm embrace. She falls asleep to the thought of you shushing her gently. Telling her she will be okay. How good she is doing. And how it will be over soon.
Only then does the tension in her body relax. Snuggling deeper into her pillow as if it was actually you. She is blissful enough to momentarily forget she has another performance due the next day.
She does this for a couple hundred years. Even after she was able to live normally after the death of Focalors.
She cannot sleep without thinking about the creator anymore. It is a necessity.
You are the gentle light that glows in the suffocating darkness that has trapped her. Even after she is free, your light will always allow her eyes to gently fall into a peaceful sleep.
i am capable of drawing. so if i did have the right idea, motivation, and time. i could draw sagau 🤔
i want to right now but my head empty. and i have prom tomorrow which i need time for
what i cant express through writing, i may express it through messy sketches! may consider adding sketches to writing asks if i feel consumed by the idea enough. but it will not be a priority for me to do
Note: was supposed to write for other chars too but motivation is gone. so here’s what i have for these two.
Itto
• taking a photo of itto is quite amusing
• his idles are endearing and representational to his boyish yet charming character
• brushing his hair, stomping the ground to hype himself up
• but compared to the videos showcasing his idles, his idles when you play…
• it feels. like he’s showing off
• well, he is showing off
• but when he poses when your eyes are on him, camera positioned in his most flattering angle
• it’s almost as if he puffs his chest out more. fixes his hair more animatedly in a showy way
• while he idles, he almost always looks directly at the camera somehow. no matter where it’s positioned
• to your knowledge, the animations are supposed to be fixed to one way. so this is quite the variety
• he stomps extra harder in his other idle. and you might be seeing things, but did he wink when he looked back up when pointing the camera at his face?
Wanderer
• wanderer’s idles are certainly very him
• his idle is either his tense animation that ends with his playful and mocking “‘:p hehe”
• or the surprising vulnerability of his other one, where he takes a moment of silence to observe his vision. before turning away, and use his hat to shield his face
• he is very different from how he was before. from when he was a harbinger, and especially from when he was first born
• you can’t get enough of taking pictures of his bleh face
• it’s just so cheeky and cute
• you would wait for as long as it took to capture that moment in any and every situation possible
• ever since you’ve voiced how much you liked this idle, you noticed how this is the animation that plays the most. but of course, it couldn’t be anything worth looking into
• by being so close to his face when he does this, you always notice the different ways he does it
• normal/random setting? the usual playful bleh
• npcs in ridiculous situations of their own making? a very amused and sadistic bleh
• other characters asking for your time in a quest? a scowl
If there is anyone else you would like me to write about regarding this concept, requests are open
Character limit is 3-4. Just as a heads up, I’m not 100% familiar with every single character!
(minor and brief spoilers of the protagonist if you haven’t started the game at all but plan to)
[very self-insert about wuthering waves. kinda combined with genshin, of course (its my main bitch)]
so i have thoughts about wuthering waves…
self aware thoughts…
——————————————————————————
i like the game so far!
at this time, ive been judging the controls, story, characters, and combat of wuwa and compare it genshin
there are things i like, and things i feel meh about (it hasnt been out for even a week yet so im cool with it for now)
however, i have been more raised eyebrow towards the characters and controls of the game. since they are the key things that make me stay besides a cool story
ive mainly noticed there are some quality of life features they miss compared to genshin. but also some that they have that genshin doesnt
i chant praises for the features and gameplay they have genshin doesnt. but get pretty frustrated about what they dont have
i always try to reason that its basically an infant at the moment, but gamer rage gets the best of me frequently
so (like with genshin sometimes), i roar my frustrations at my screen
“ugh, genshin has this! why dont you?”
“oh my god, you are so slow.”
“yeah, yeah, ive seen this all before. when do things get interesting?”
sighing, huffing, and palming my face in irritation
and they hear this, and are conflicted
but similarly to traveler in the beginning, i think rover would be the only one to be self aware at this point. the others still have to gain it
so besides their memory lost, theyre also dealing with an unknown and higher being that controls them. with no way to prevent it, or predict when the next time they do will happen
they are conflicted further when they realize theyre helping them get stronger and achieve the same goal as them
what does this mean? who is this? and why are they helping them if they sound like they hate them so much?
——————————————————————————
note: rushed. and i do actually like this game btw lmao. i just needed to get a part of my frustrations off my chest. overall, this game has a lot of potential i think! the graphics are amazing, and the combat is very interesting (i love combat so much)
i may also write for wuthering waves. if i feel strongly enough about it
since ive been into sagau for almost as long as ive been into canon genshin. yet i only write now (￣▽￣;)
(spoilers for xiao’s backstory and 4.5 archon quest of furina under the cut)
i like to play around different ways the actual sentient world of teyvat is affected by it being a video game to the player
besides the concept of teyvat having existed already before the arrival of the player (creator or not), i also like the possibility of nothing having actually progressed before you loaded the game
i was talking about the first time you control the traveller in my last post. and briefly hinted about paimon not being robotic until traveller was being possessed by the player
which made me think of the concept of everything they have done was just coded into their memory
that they remember memories that just spawned in their head. the history of their relationships with others they have built or lost having never happened. no history, just manifested and determined for them
the reason simply being because you wanted to play a game
their lives were formed for them. so then they wonder, what does this say about their livelihood?
does xiangling actually have a passion for cooking?
has xiao actually lost his friends to time that allowed them to be consumed by darkness? that has caused him great grief and changed him forever?
furina acting as a farce god. doom clouding in her mind to not break character for the sake of all of fontaine. was it just programmed into her to have endured being worn down like that for 500 years?
has the traveller visited other worlds, or were they told they have?
they praise you for being an angelic guide. gracing them with your presence. blessing them with power incomparable to anything in teyvat
they swear that they cannot exist without you. their words rooted from devotion. their adoration blinding them that they may actually be right
one of my most favourite things in sagau is the special connection the traveler has with the player (or creator)
i absorbed the idea that the traveller would be scared about the whole controlling their body and they cant do anything to prevent it thing the first time it happens
the first time it happens is, of course, after your game first loaded teyvat. when your hold over their world was first established
that beach, the beginning of your journey. and the first time traveller had felt completely powerless against a higher and unknown being as a traveller of worlds
paimon feels robotic. it’s like she is following a script, her movements calculated and unnaturally stiff
‘something is wrong,’ the traveller thought. ‘she was… normal earlier.’
because the teyvat world already existed before you entered it. you just condemned them to follow a code in place of their real and alive selves the moment you clicked to play this game
i like to imagine they slowly gain awareness. but the traveller being the most aware. and with the most developed opinion of you
they were scared at first, but when they gradually realized you were on their side. that you were helping them. guiding their hand with yours and journey this new land in a way they agree with
how could they not gain a sense of respect and admiration for you?
and since paimon is so close with the traveller, she was quick to become self aware like the traveller
and with or without the teyvat hero, more characters realize their existence. as well as realize how adoring you are
