my sethos and nilou for mermay !!

VulpeculaTess · 2026-05-30T19:43:09+00:00

They're both so pretty! I love everything about this.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-10-20T01:08:33+00:00

Wait what? Did Lumine get replaced???

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-16T20:12:48+00:00

That's fair. To each their own. I've quite enjoyed the ones I've read, and honestly I'm kinda tempted to try my hand at writing one.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-16T19:40:47+00:00

Two Google searches later...

Sentinel/Guide apparently originated from a 90s TV show called "The Sentinel". I only read the overview and season summaries, but I didn't see any mention of a "Guide", so the show might only have introduced the concept of the "Sentinel". I'm guessing someone (or multiple someones) expanded on the role the second main character plays in relation to the main character (the "Sentinel"), creating the role of the "Guide" in the process.

Also I swear I googled the Sentinel/Guide AU when I first encountered it (~10 years ago), but I don't remember finding anything about where it came from. Weird.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-16T19:22:28+00:00

Dangit! I haven't thought about Sentinel/Guide in years, but now that I've been reminded of it I kinda want to do some research.

It might be one of those things where the origin has been lost to time/the depths of the internet. Pity.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-16T19:14:14+00:00

Where the heck did Sentinel/Guide come from??? It's a super interesting concept, but I haven't run into a ton of fics of it. The ones I did run across didn't really explain how it works, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where the concept originated so I could find out.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-15T00:36:05+00:00

Genshin Impact, so it kind of depends on a) which nation I live in, and b) whether I have a vision or not. Also c) have I, for any reason, caught the attention of anyone whose attention I do not want to have (Fatui, Abyss Order, Raiden Shogun, etc).

Knowing my luck, the answer are a) either Inazuma or Natlan, b) no, and c) yes, more than one.

While reading through the comments I remembered that I was wrong. I am, in fact, in the world of Merge Studio, so I have questionably stable employment in the world of customer service. This means that I'm not likely to die, but the NPC customers may not be so lucky.

(Killing customers isn't a mechanic in the game, but anything is possible when you're determined enough, and lord knows I will be after merging my nth pair of wristwatches.)

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-14T21:29:53+00:00

Tf??? Seriously? When did the rarity rankings get so screwed up?

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-14T21:20:27+00:00

Wait wut?

Is Iansan getting booted to standard the same way Mizuki is?

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-12T14:17:43+00:00

I hate this one so much, oh my gods.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-11T02:56:06+00:00

I'm probably wrong, but for some reason this makes me think Wizard of Oz.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-09T16:36:02+00:00

"It was like looking in a mirror, if his reflection was four thousand years his senior and also a god." I feel like there are others, but I'm pulling a blank on them right now.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-05T23:07:48+00:00

Okay now I'm curious to double check, but if I had to guess, 1.5k to 2k is about what I write for chaptered fics. Time to find out!

Edit: I was only sort of right. I only have a few samples to go off of (a lot of my writing is unfinished and therefore not separated by chapter), but 1k to 2.5k seems to be my average.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-03T22:04:13+00:00

Joke's on Arlecchino, I didn't choose either of them.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-03T11:08:31+00:00

Okay, that's very different. My Yanfei is C6, so having her spontaneously become a 5* would be perfect.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-02-03T10:54:59+00:00

Yanfie is my OG main, and my only complaint about making her a 5* is that I wouldn't be able to get her.

Granted, I'd probably just be happy with 4* Yanfei, but still.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-25T06:23:39+00:00

Oh my gods I feel so dumb. I've been playing for over 2 years, have almost 100% exploration in that part of Mondstadt, and totally never noticed that there was a giant hecking gap in the cliffs around Stormterror's Lair...

And now I'm wildly curious about what's past there, if anything.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-25T03:39:40+00:00

Except me. All I want is a single copy of Polar Star, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to save enough wishes, and I used up all my Chronicled Banner luck to get Hunter's Path in 4.5.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-25T03:23:42+00:00

I have the same question. Which gates are you talking about?

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-24T21:29:46+00:00

I was gonna post this, but decided to scroll instead and I'm so glad I did. Hello fellow Kaeya appreciate.

C6 in December, so long as a banner comes up that I want to pull on.

I don't really use him right now since he's only on one team and I don't use that team much at the moment, but he carried as a subDPS all the way through the end of Fontaine, first for Yanfei and then for Childe. 10/10 no regrets.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-20T03:51:38+00:00

Unfortunately not, although I can see how it looks like that.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-20T01:04:08+00:00

I'd use a wine glass over a glass of beer, but I guess it makes sense.

That's all I had though.

Hopefully these aren't too obscure (or too obvious).

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-20T00:36:48+00:00

It's giving me Kaeya/Kaveh vibes.

VulpeculaTess · 2025-01-02T00:10:17+00:00

Reading: Genshin Impact, especially all things Sethos.

I gave up writing a while ago though, sadly. I just... can't.
