i was hoping to save a lot for arlecchino’s banner knowing how botched my luck has been in genshin gacha since fontaine opened but my mind just couldn’t stop thinking about chiori and how much i really saved up for her (before knowing that arle will arrive at 4.5 okay!!) and how much i want to have her because of her dolls so i decided to check my limited banner history and pulled a 10-pull on a whim and oH MY GOD??!!!!?
BBG ACTUALLY CAME HOME WHEN I LEAST EXPECTED TO WIN MY 50/50 ₊*ˈ˚·(๑˃̶̡̢̥ ॣಐ ॣ˂̶̡̢̥๑)·˚ˈ*₊
i didn’t expect i’ll actually have it that easy (?) since i got nahida from the last banner (nahida was guaranteed because i lost my 50/50 pulling for navia) BUT SHE’S FINALLY HOME!! ₊*ˈ˚·(๑˃̶̡̢̥ ॣಐ ॣ˂̶̡̢̥๑)·˚ˈ*₊ the last time i was this lucky with my pulls was on ayato’s, yelan’s, cyno’s, and alhaitham’s first banners. after that everything just went downhill, i guess (except the guaranteed ones ofc).
her team animation is also so cool, too! (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧ so sleek!
now that i have chiori, my art department is complete (freminet is their youngest member). no elemental reactions, only art ¡¡¡( •̀ ᴗ •́ )و!!! i also realized that all of them are sword users (claymores are swords, after all?) so exploration-wise, this team’s also bad, but i can always work around that for the love of my weird team comps (4ggravate is probably the least weirdest of them all).
i’ve yet to level her up more and build her more because i need some fodder to feed the artifacts i have for her and more adventure books, too, as i’ve spent them a lot recently on nahida and layla (for my shatterbloom team, ofc. anything for kaveh, my love and my light) before i send her to battle, ofc. her split scaling still confuses me, but i’ll learn it well eventually, ofc. it’s too bad that the only weapon i have suitable for her because of it’s defense substat is the traveler’s handy sword. it’s also somehwat fashion impact (i credit jeikage for that one) on her, thankfully.
oh, and besides getting chiori in her banner, i also managed to pull my favourite husband in a single pull while trying to get her (TvT \)
my kaveh is now C1, and though it’s not impressive for all, it’s alright because all i want as a casual genshin enjoyer is to complete my favourite husbands’ constellations (for the four stars ofc, like kaveh and thoma) unless they’re five stars because that’s too pricey already (T^T \)
now i can proceed with the character story quests i’ve left since the highly emotional 4.2 archon quest! wuw.
two fluffy bois ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ
i actually have a fanfic that i’ve been writing (and editing) where kaveh decides to explore teyvat after a massive change in his life happened. i just love the idea of kaveh getting to travel across teyvat so he can also see the various architecture styles and art practices that people outside of sumeru, and maybe learn a thing or two about himself along the way.
so here's a picture of kaveh looking towards sumeru city.
please allow my weak jealuc heart to ✨believe✨ that diluc is implying his concern towards a certain acting grand master ♡͙♡͚₍⸉ॢ⸍͕͈ ˕̫ ⸌͔͈⸊ॢ₎♡͚♡͙ because who else is famously stressed and exhausted in mondstadt but jean our beloved? (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧
i want to make this kaveh goes around teyvat thing a regular on this tumblog because i really, really adore kaveh, and there are so many well-rendered places in genshin hihihi.
here he is, somewhere underground in the vast desert of sumeru, where a door, speculated to be the door leading to khaenri’ah, sits deserted and sealed (for now).
sumeru will forever be my favourite region (even if the desert exploration was painful), but fontaine has been feeding us well in terms of life truths.
i really like how chevreuse acknowledged people’s opinions on what justice is and should be, then proceeded to put into perspective how justice isn’t always black and white as most people (myself included) thought it to be. this is exchange between veronique and her is probably one of my favourite dialogues in this game so far.
the characters selected in this event event still seemed random to me, but i don’t mind. i still enjoyed the story (and the ayato-chiori banter i didn’t see coming).
there's a sudden urge in me to rewrite my kaveh x sort of self-insert fanfic at this ungodly hour. what is this behaviour.
yk part of why i did go back to tumblr was so i could have another platform to talk about the games i obsess with (animal crossing new horizons and genshin impact then) instead of posting about it on my ig stories since not all of my friends are into those kinds of content and as much as i use instagram more than i do facebook, it's not really suited for long posts 😅
so yes, i guess i should really talk more about the current games i play, and it's not a lot.
i'll tag it under farts to keep up with art, fart, heart.
i was in the middle of grinding for stellar jades so i can (finally) get argenti in the limited character banner when i didn’t expect to actually do and finish his companion quest, and all i can say is as much as argenti is indeed befitting of being a knight of beauty, he is so goofy i want him in my roster of characters and in my 2D husbands club.
i love beautiful and goofy characters a little too much hihihi.
this is my favourite argenti dialogue in the entire companion mission, btw. he’s such a mood.
march 7th’s a mood here, too.
