i love logging back on every now and then and seeing the same Intellectually Online takes recycled and repackaged. what do you mean people are removing the kgb entirely from natasha's story because it's "problematic"

[vlyuvdova]

i am considering throwing out some interactions on here, but chances are they won't go very far. might have better luck on zhongli @yanwangye for some plots once i lay out his modern/marvel verses :)

[vlyuvdova]

came on here for a sec to see if it would stir any humors and alas it did not. but i see a bunch of old partners coming back and hope you're all doing good <3

[vlyuvdova]

hello ... not sure who is even around over here but i just wanted to pop back in and say what is probably already obvious : i am retiring natasha for the time being, and likely won't come back here unless her muse returns to me one day. i've had zero muse or inspiration for her in any capacity for many many months, which means to me that i'm ready to let go of her for now < 3 this may change in the future, i may come back, who knows! but for now i wanted to thank all of my amazing partners from both recent past and ancient ( some of you i've written with for nearly 10 years... ) for all your patience and interest in the world i've crafted for natalya.

Instead of making posts about what people halfway across the world should do on a dying website, I'm going to link to organizations that you can donate to that can actually help.

Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. They provide immediate medical aid to those in great need, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system. 

Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association is a Palestinian non-governmental civil institution that works to support Palestinian political prisoners held in Israeli and Palestinian prisons.

Samidoun is an international network of organizers and activists working to build solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in their struggle for freedom.

Refuser Solidarity Network provides crucial support to Israel's military refusers in the toughest of political circumstances. They provide funds for for demonstrations outside prison, for legal fees, for media campaigns that tell conscientious objector’s stories to the general public, for education programs for Israeli and American audiences about their important resistance to the occupation.

Feel free to reblog with links to other groups and other places people can donate to.

i am beggiiiiing you to share ur g*nshin verses i have to know how you fit nata into that whole mess

sigh...

i. natalya is an electro vision-wielder originally from snezhnaya. having been raised off and on in the home of the hearth, she was chosen by the the fatui when she came of age to join their ranks. il dottore took interest in her abilities and selected her to test a new serum the fatui intended to use to better their soldiers. long story short, her narrative here follows roughly the same structure as her canon, and after becoming effectively immortal from the experiments, she defects and seeks refuge in inazuma ( this is long, long before the sakoku or vision-hunt decrees ), working odd jobs as a spy for the various clans and families that make up the inazuman elite. at some point, she takes up the name kuroki ( this particular segment in her story is really just the marvle comic storyline that takes place in the yashida saga ), and is contracted by an oni to spy on her sister whom she has been separated from due to family tragedy and eventually kill her. when it comes time, natalya refuses to follow her orders, and is captured and punished for it.

after the situation blows over and she's released, natalya decides to travel teyvat and puts aside spy-work ... for now.

ii. natalya is a descender, highly private about her identity and true origins beyond teyvat. this verse is more of a crossover sub-au of my folklore canon in which she's the tsaritsa of death, a chthonic entity that is originally born of the void and the earth. because of her essence, she was able to hop dimensions through the abyss and land herself in teyvat some time before the archon war took place. of the eight nations at the time, she preferred to stay in khaenri'ah, and admired the technology and godless dogmas they held to. when the khaenri'ahns began to experiment with abyssal technology, natalya offered her help to try and keep their work under control. however, seeing as she had duties in her home world, she could not stay for very long at a time and frequently came and went. she was not present for the majority of the archon war, and the cataclysm and destruction of khaenri'ah happened during one of her absences; because of this, she holds a great resentment for celestia and refuses to engage in anything to do with the heavenly principles.

presently, her presumed identity is that of a noble snezhnayan woman with close ties to the fatui, the harbingers, and the tsaritsa, and she seems to wield a cryo vision. however, she travels often, and is usually found in liyue, sumeru, or fontaine. those that know of her true identity and origins are few in number ( of living canon characters i would say buer, morax, barnabas/the tsaritsa, guuji yae, the wanderer, and some select harbingers know ) and she prefers to keep it that way.

he grumbles, unwilling to agree with her and yet unable to disagree. the concept of possibility had followed him everywhere since his reclamation of his past self, the question of what to do now that he was free from past identities always with him, as daunting as it was freeing. he soothed himself with smaller ambitions, distracted himself with helping lesser lord kusanali and the studies he claimed to detest, allowed himself to enjoy peace when it came. baby steps. he had learned humanity like this once, too, before he had stripped himself of it so relentlessly. he's finding a middle-ground. he will not admit it, not even to himself, but she helps, just as the dendro archon does.

curiosity flashes brief across his face, but he doesn't question her. for beings as old as them, trapped in the depth of eternity, would it still be considered impolite to ask a woman's age? of course, it was not concern for courtesy nor manners that kept him from asking — that concern was entirely nonexistent, as anyone who had spoken to him could likely attest to — but he wonders meaninglessly regardless. yet another noise of irritation leaves him. "it's not new nor is it exciting. getting hounded to attend lectures about events i know more about than any of them isn't my idea of fun. i brought this up and they actually had the idea to make me give a lecture. as if i'd ever want to do something as stupid as that. it's like i told lesser lord kusanali: i have no interest in being a scholar — nor any of the 'academic collaboration' they're so insistent on. why can't i just write what i want to write and be left alone?"

[vlyuvdova]

"we are in sumeru, you know. you might be asking for too much." and, as if to say we might as well appreciate it while we're here, natalya gestures for him to stand and follow her, waiting ever - patiently to see if he'll listen, delinquent that he has been in past memories that few still share.

"besides, i think you'd be a rather interesting speaker, with your infamously delicate choice of words and all." she's needling now, she knows. is it so bad that she's having fun? natalya does wonder if he enjoys this, the attention, as much as she enjoys giving it. as little as she has seen of the dendro archon, it's evident enough that the wanderer does not hate the affection that devi kusanli gives him in abundance — and while she does not presume any true comparison with the complication of their shared history, she at least hopes that whatever newfound camaraderie does not wither so quickly. "in all seriousness, your age and experience are something mortals only dream of. would it not be fulfilling to allow them the opportunity of learning some of it? it isn't like you have nothing to give."
