arlecchino being known as the "crazy" one in their ranks and as not having a "sane bone in her body" takes on a whole new meaning after the animated short, and the tsaritsa's description just... cements that image of arlecchino as such.
this was MADE for lisa minci regardless of what au or pairing you put her in. her lover must absolutely gift her this in a velvet box/put this on her/take it off her
everyday i think about how there are only seven Archons and then Makoto chooses to keep Ei by her side. Celestia only appointed 7, but she kept her sister, her equal. Ei is an exception. An enemy to eternity onto herself. And then I cry.
hi i did a thing... my shenlan thesis for the soul 🫶 had lots of fun writing again after months and exploring a new pairing. 🤍💙 pls mind the tags!

i do sense a hint of wariness in what they've had to say abt her (i think this says a lot coming from scaramouche especially), and it just shows to me how powerful arlecchino is, enough to kill the 4th harbinger, someone who outranks the rest of them in strength.
qingguang growth is essentially 2 things i think:
- when ningguang goes from "little yuheng" to "my yuheng"
- when keqing goes from "idiot" (derogatory, spiteful) to "idiot" (affectionate, fond, still a little exasperated but fond)
actually sara wasn't in the festival bc she was summoned to the tenshukaku and hasn't come out yet. interestingly the shogun also hasn't made a public appearance for the festival either
the butch being the monster/dog/beast protecting the femme is well and good, very delicious, now how about the femme being the feral monster coddled, soothed by the butch. treat the monster like a princess. but she also eats the butch. it's all consensual.

. yelan applying dark eyeliner and eyeshadow on shenhe hmmm
shenhe: is this really necessary?
yelan: yes. it's a party. and people are gonna wish they were me.
shenhe: why?
yelan: because I'm arriving fashionably late with the most stunning woman in the room

happy to report this ninglan wip has got out of the basement :,) here's my love letter to ningguang, a reimagining of her ascension to power, and her love for the girl who pulled the strings to bring her up there.
to sell the moon chapter 1 is out!
im about to throw childhood friends to lovers trope into a blender press dice and press start and we shall call it maybe the making and unmaking of the lady tianquan the richest person in teyvat who can have anything she wants except the one thing she wants
on that note, we as a community are sleeping on Ei's "I'm not good enough" or "It should've been me" angst hurt/comfort material when we talk about her grief
idk what possessed me to write this fic but here's a very self-indulgent, experimental con artist au featuring

but it's the plot of anastasia (1997)
(rated M, ch 1, 4.9k words, conwoman!ningguang, princess!keqing)
when i think of yelan's quirks what comes to mind is a crow with a penchant for collecting shiny things, she's got a good eye for spotting 'real treasure,' for taking a gamble and scoring right. think of this and then imagine pre-canon ningguang as a diamond in the rough
@jadechambir
i also notice that if isn't waifu shit or misogyny, it's female characters often getting reduced to "girlboss"/"mommy" when ppl do like a female character and not have any issue with them. but that's it. they don't take time to understand that character's complexities.
there's smth to be said abt pierro recruiting rosalyne presumably during or shortly after the cataclysm, an event so pivotal to who the current tsaritsa is or has become. she's championed the tsaritsa's cause since then and has never been replaced nor succeeded by anyone else.
It’s interesting to point out that Signora died and got her funeral arranged in Snezhnaya meanwhile crucabena died and got a small altar in fontaine
Signora is really that valuable to the Fatui OMGG👀👀🔥🔥
wait. yelan being too picky and too particular/niche/impossible with her tastes (ex. prefers the thrill of the chase, thrill of danger, etc.) being the reason she has ZERO career prospects is my new fave hc like she would literally rather die than work a 9-5
a silly stupid ninglan dynamic where yelan kinda roasts ningguang for being so self-assured yet all bark no bite and then ningguang actually bites her. like..... she literally bites her
shenhe adjusting to the city life and growing flowers in a house of her own and offering to host guests (ganyu and kq) and calling them her friends and humming the tune she liked from yun jin's opera last lantern rite and 🥹🥹🥹 IT'S THE GROWTH FOR ME YOU GO BABYGIRL 🥹🥹🥹
hold up. another
#shenlan
thought. if yelan's design and overall character theme has elements of gambling (luck, fortune, risk, etc.) while shenhe was considered a cursed child, causing misfortune to everyone around her........... OH. MY. FUCKING-
yelan makes shenhe a bucket list of stuff to do in liyue harbor from Normal People Things to Illegal Crack and they roll the dice to choose what they do next call that shenlanigans
my ninglan hc ever is that ningguang's orchid's evening gown was loosely based on a deep indigo qipao that yelan lent to her many years ago, on her first banquet at yujing terrace. yelan helped her look the part and get into exclusive business functions for networking.

mona is an astrologist who studies the stars. lumine is a star. mona can't read her fate. but SHE'S A LITERAL FALLEN STAR so when mona talks abt the stars lumine can only listen wistfully. also lumine likes to tease mona a lot. and mona unsurprisingly has a praise kink.
bless that shenlan childhood au they are so right for that. it's giving yelan, a city girl, rather spends her time hunting in liyue's countryside, playing with a girl from a village that housed exorcists, teaching each other spells and magic from their respective clans. +
yelan cracking up and wheezing when she sees a very grumpy ningguang with a reactivated vision in her hand
~
yelan holding her new vision in her bloodied hands, resting her head on ningguang's shoulder, still grieving in her wood hut at some liyue outskirts
yelan gaining her vision during a very emotionally intense turning point in her life - a testament of her skill and resoluteness, in contrast to ningguang reactivating a masterless vision she was supposed to sell for quick cash AND GETTING ANNOYED BY IT is smth so special to me
ningguang: one day my jade chamber will fly and rival celestia itself
yelan: ya know, no one's gonna take you seriously if you're all bark, no bite
ningguang:
ningguang: *bites her*
yelan: OW what the fuck was that
yelan:
yelan: do it again
thinking abt the somewhat missed opportunity of sending sandrone to collect the electro gnosis instead... i think it'd make a very interesting turn of events if the invincible shogun puppet met her match in the 7th harbinger specialized in advanced mecha building

literally love at first sight 🥹 i sometimes forget she can just. summon all that frost. with a snap of her fingers. also paimon in an ice cube still kills me. 😭
arlenora brainrot hitting me in the gut but signora finding love again since rostam and finding it in arlecchino even if she convinced herself she could never love again. then she's sure she won't ever lose arlecchino but it's arlecchino who ends up losing signora
@IWWVlLLAINS
exactly!! ei practically gave up her life so makoto could be somewhat "eligible(??)" to be an archon bc as far as i understand things, only 1 god could rule over people in teyvat(?) so when makoto "reforged her form" to be her kagemusha just so they can be together,,,, sobs

the most canon trope here truly 😭 divorce of convenience, true hate's kiss, lover's to enemies, hate at first sight, soulmates fated to kill each other, strangers to enemies PLS it's all there 😭

wip on ning's bday but wanted to edit the scene a bit upon reviewing my outline. anyway pre-canon ninglan truthers come get your food [banging pots and pans]
that voiceline has done irreversible emotional damage to me bc what if signora has (reluctantly) sung to the children a few times what if she's sung them to sleep what if her voice has echoed through the cold halls what if that's the first time she's sung again in 500 years what
signora resurrecting really fits & completes scorpio's theme of death, transformation, & rebirth. her 'rebirth', however it happens, completes the cycle. thematically, transformation is key to her character. people have made other points supporting this (ex. no. 8 symbolism) but-

thoughts rn. what if as shenhe reintegrates herself into human society, getting to know city life, yelan practically whisks her away and exposes her to liyue night life, underground culture, takes her to the pearl galley, introducing all types of vices to shenhe-
