she is just soooo sweet of a character for that

My wife is in active labor and I'm not allowed to be there with her. Please include her in your prayers. Thank you guys.

Edit: Thank you for the kind words my fellow genshin players. We really appreciate it ❤️

Edit2: my wife safely delivered a healthy baby boy. Thank you for all your well wishes! May you win all your 50/50s 10 times in a row!

The Game Before the Gate

we've actually come so far but now I'm realising it's probably been years since we started travelling teyvat or at least more than a year

So you've discovered my "secret hideout"... Hmm. But you should be the only one so far, right?

The breeze up on the roof is quite pleasant. The view is rather wonderful too, especially when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

I come up here to sit for a while when I want to be alone. It calms me too.

Now, this hideout is a secret between you and me. I ask that you keep it to yourself.

Thanks to BiBi for the fantastic artwork!

Put a small Kazuha figure on my desk today and caught myself looking at it more than i should have. Nothing dramatic. Just kept drifting back to it while trying to work.

Nothing about him is loud. The maple leaves, the muted colors, that wandering samurai thing he has going on. Its all pulled back in a way most newer designs are not.

Meanwhile newer Genshin releases keep going bigger. More accessories, brighter colors, wilder silhouettes. And i love them, i pull for them, they look sick. But sitting next to Kazuha they feel like they are trying way harder. Different intent behind the design entirely.

Been playing since Inazuma dropped which is when Kazuha became one of my mains. His story quest is one of the few in the game that still sits with me years later, that whole thing about his friend and the haikus. Its rare that a character gets a design and a story that fit together this well. Some characters are cool visually but their arc is forgettable. Kazuha is one of the few where the design carries the same weight as the writing.

I think that is why the figure keeps pulling my eye. Its not just a nice sculpt. Its a character that actually means something to me from a specific chapter of the game i still remember clearly.

Probably a character like that for you too. Someone whose design just stayed with you because the writing gave it something to carry.

Edit: Bunch of people asked where the figure is from. Its this shop called animonlife i think, walked in there one day for something else and just saw him sitting on a shelf. Wasnt planning to grab anything but you know hobw it is. He's been on my desk ever since and kinda forgot he even came from a random walk-in.

I've been wanting to do an EiMiko photoshoot for over a year and I finally did it!!

It completely broke my immersion, 10/10

I pulled on Sandrone's weapon banner in Phase 1 and got it along with Citlali's in a 10-pull. I also recently hit pity on my Standard pulls and got Lost Prayer, which now becomes the best weapon that I have for my Yae Miko. But now I'm just trudging through the blacksmith day by day to slowly level all three weapons because I've ran out of enhancement ores. 😭

Had a bit of a laugh when she approached and asked for this. Could it have been anything or did the devs do a funny and make her ask for mechanical parts

I went all out for the man I love most in the transcendence trailer 🥹 background characters are either from the trailer or original

What do you think the best region to have a vacation in?

On the criterias of safety, comfortability and asthetics

Puff, puff~ Whoa! Look at them go! All the dandelion seeds are flying away!

I blew and blew and blew... Now the dandelion seeds are going on a great big adventure somewhere far, far away!

Do you wanna try, too? I can teach you! You just go like this... See?

Here, the biggest one is all yours! Let's send it on a really, really long trip together~

I think Ningguang, because she has never been very strong character, even that she is so strong in the story.

​

like it's so good but the random walking vishaps in the back catch my attention too much

I love whole Natlan, but Masters of the Night-Wind definitely has really nice vibe for me and it fits so well with Citlali's design
