Teapot Times, Fun Times: Husband Realm 1.0 Update
teapot times, fun times: husband realm 1.0 update
i’ve finally (forrealsies) reached that point in my teapot building where i’m happy with the facade of my mansion.
say hello to my first husband mansion! i really love the sumeru teapot realm the most (as a biased sumeru girlie, and because of the dreamy atmosphere it has with the falling leaves and all, and the pretty flowers that bloom and close depending on the time of day), but the liyue mansion is the most ideal for me in terms of filling in the interior with enough furniture to make it look homey and not too spacey.
the original plan was for kaveh to have one separate island for his work area, which i already finished a few days ago, but decided to forego that because of the weird teapot load that i’ve yet to understand (as a self-proclaimed teapot main) and work around with. i made a small workshop for him on the right side of the mansion instead. i figure he’s really the type to forget his meals when he’s in too deep at work so i figure, the ideal place for him to have an outdoor workshop setup is just a few steps away from the mansion, where thoma (who’s standing inside the mansion, ofc) can simply remind him to eat his meals.
and yes, i know they’re only pixels, but i think about these things in games. sometimes i wish i can normal about it, but this is my normal, and this will stay my normal. anyway,
the hot spring/bath area is located behind the mansion. this was also supposed to have its own section in the realm, but the purpose of baths is for cleaning and relaxation, and if they had their baths situated far from the mansion, then what’s the point of taking a bath when they’re just going to sweat right after, yk, from walking? i really wish i can be normal about it since they don’t sweat OBVIOUSLY as in game characters, but my design brain refuses to let things be. so we’ll keep the bath there, and well, it’s also practical for it to be just behind the mansion so they can simply go there anytime.
the left side of the mansion contains some of their food supply that can be stored outside, plus some wine (i realized that kaveh’s probably the only one who drinks in this realm since thoma is bad with alcohol, and wriothesley doesn’t really strike me as someone who’d enjoy drinking alcoholic drinks), and a cooking spot, too, for some outside quality time when the husbands just want to chill together.
of course, if kaveh gets his wine, wriothesley will also get his tea. (ृ ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ )ु
i’m thinking about finishing wriothesley’s training area before the week ends. hopefully i’d be able to do so, so i can begin working on the gardens and fountains that kaveh is gushing about in his teapot voiceline (ृ ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ )ु maybe i’ll also post the finished areas inside the mansion later.
natlan hasn’t been released yet, but i’m excited to see the teapot realm, and possible structures and furniture we’d get from it. as a teapot main.

if there’s one small event in genshin that i find myself “getting sweaty” it has to be the short photo event. here are some of my okay pictures, and i’m saying okay because i actually had a difficult time getting the photo i want, in the composition that my head has already formed (but my hands failed to execute). that said, i still like them enough to post the ones i really like here. and can i just say that wriothesley looked immaculate in all three frames in the weeping willow area. zhongli, too, but that’s nothing new.
the requirements needed for each photos limited my attempt to make this photo event an exclusive photo shoot for all of my favourite genshin husbands. and someday, i’ll have the energy to crop out genshin’s logo on the side of each photos, but for now it will stay.
and of course, here are some goofy shots that i took.
i hope u are doing alright, my dear son chongyun!
i’m sorry neuvillette for capturing you looking so undignified in your charged attack.
almost panicked 100% when i couldn't login on my ao3 account, but all's well now thankfully ❀.(*´◡`*)❀
second part of my casual gamer diaries, and it shows that i'm either obsessed with hyv games or i am showing gambling behaviour (so aventurine of me amirite). while gacha isn't technically gambling (or considered as such in many countries), the tendency to develop gambling behaviour is there so...hehe? 🥹
(on a more serious note, the experience of gambling and the emotions it can evoke can make it addictive so i guess if one wants to try, it's best to approach it with caution and a lot of wisdom.)
at the time of the release of cyno's second story quest, i still had chiori's and arlecchino's story quest to finish, but because i love sumeru and the men of sumeru (actually i can say i'm ✨biased✨ towards sumeru characters and the nation itself), i went straight to cyno's quest ofc (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
one thing that i like and amuses me about cyno is how he talks as if he's always going to be in a legendary battle of sorts or as if he's a protagonist in a shounen anime about duels and friendships u make along the way ✨ i think sethos mentioned his manner of speaking in one of his voicelines? i agree 100% with sethos.
he's one of my favourite characters in the game -- reliable, responsible, intelligent, and i do enjoy his sense of humour because mine is just as broken as his.
i'd like to write more about my thoughts on his second story quest, but i'll save that for another entry, and when my head is not as convoluted as it is atm.
also alhaitham is such a mood here. his lines always resonate with me as an introvert. i think i had a lot of screenshots from his story quest simply because most of his lines there are truly quotable.
i did finish chiori's story quest the day after i finished cyno's!
let me begin by saying that hyv did improve gradually in writing female characters, and chiori becomes an instant favourite because of her no nonsense approach to a lot of things. this is also one of those story quests that focused a lot on the character, which really helped in making me appreciate and understand why chiori is the way she is. my girl really made her dreams a reality! (TvT )
i will say her story quest falls easily as one of my favourites, but it hasn't beaten yoimiya's second story quest which currently sits at the top spot.
anyway, i loved her story quest and i'm glad i won the 50/50 on her banner (•́⌄•́๑)૭✧
the most recent patch had me going back to playing tcg just so i can secure a ✨kaveh tcg card✨ that i'll use as much as i'm using him in game as my dps (which is everyday except when fighting ridiculously strong bosses).
first of all!! he is so cute, handsome, and pretty at the same time. just look at him all proud about his tcg deck, and i love him for it 😌
i lost the first round and won the rematch with my inazumen deck (ayato, thoma, kazuha), so i got to see both endings. it's cute how he's trying not to goad about his win, but something in me hurt when i won the game. how ridiculous amirite, but such is the life of an ✨average kaveh enjoyer✨
kaveh being 2D is a sin!! why am i not a playable character in teyvat too??
it's time to fight his demons (himself) today.
his idle thought about the interior design of this place is so in character (ofc), and yk what, i agree with kaveh each time i invite another character to play tcg with me.
anyway, i love kaveh that my friends who are aware of it are probably tired of me having to talk about him in the most random moments. speaking of kaveh, i should upload the photos i took of him in-game for the kaveh goes around teyvat photosets i started.
i still haven't started arlecchino's or clorinde's story quests, but i went ahead and did the archon quest on the day of its release to keep myself from being spoiled ( ｡ • ᴖ • ｡)
i actually got shocked when caribert first appeared on screen, but let me just say: caribert is one of the most good-looking NPCs we've had in genshin.
i haven't really read or watched other people's opinions about it, but i'm okay with it. i'm not mad about it, and i actually liked that we got to sit down and talk with the twin. it made me tear up (hoyo has been doing well making me cry since focalors' appearance) especially when caribert managed to sneak out a memento of the twin's reunion (｡Ó᎔ ก̀๑)
i was also cheering atossa on, but ( ｡ • ᴖ • ｡) caribert u hurt me as well.
i was supposed to include my hsr diaries here (since i've been playing it more frequently to catch up with a lot of the missions), but i'll just put it on a separate entry instead.
when i have a clearer mind and in a better headspace, i'd probably spare some time writing about my thoughts about the game. like a reflection paper of some sort?
I've added other types of blind box to the shop!! And the new ones are on sale for this weekend!!! we're so close guys, just €2000 more to go 🩷 thank you for your help reblogging and donating 🩷
i have many things i'd consider my roman empire and a genshin event with itto visiting the nation of wisdom and meeting the sumeru crew is one of them.
who would win: itto versus the sumeru crew?
i loved linkin park in high school, and i love them even more with their new vocalist (ㅇㅅㅇ❀) i am and might probably always be a sucker for rock bands with female vocalists especially because it’s a high school dream to be part of one but my singing voice is not of the rock kind.
sometimes being a rareshipper can be pretty lonely, but also motivational just so u can scratch that rarepair itch for yourself and in the hopes of finding a fellow rarepair shipper.
anyway, here's a wip of said rareship with the photo reference of the pose. i realized while i may have been drawing for so long now, i need a lot of practice when it comes to drawing people interacting with each other.
such a timely prompt because it’s been two weeks since i “moved in” our family home after living far from family due to work logistics. while i’m always grateful to have a place i can call home, i’m not always fond of going back home after a long day (or week) because there’ll be times when i’ll be welcomed with nagging instead 😅
that said, i’m grateful to be back home because this time, i’ll be able to save some money from whatever earnings i’ll get instead of it going straight to bills and rent. i don’t think i live luxuriously (it’s rare to live luxuriously here anyway), but with how low teachers’ salaries are in my country (and i guess other countries, too?), i wasn’t really able to save much even though i hardly squandered my funds to make sure i have enough for my emergency funds (T^T ) so it’s a relief to be able to go back home at a time like this.
(a little side note related to moving back, i’m also thankful that in our culture, it’s not really frowned upon for adults to leave their parents’ house since it’s mostly a personal choice to do so, and realistically, it’s hard to live independently in a developing country because the fees continues to rise while salaries hardly improved for so long, my salary can’t even sustain two people! usually the only time adults leave their parents’ homes is when they get married or they can really fund their own lifestyles.)
i’m also grateful to be near the people i often seek wisdom from now that i’m back. sure, texting goes a long way, but with the workload i had as a part-timer in my previous workplace, i’d rather just spend the rest of the evening resting to recharge for another long day. it’s so much easier talking to my mom and aunt now.
lastly, i’m also grateful that i have a space where i’m most comfortable too! it’s nice to sleep on my own bed and organize my room and things knowing it’ll stay where it is for as long as we stay here 🥹

What are you grateful for today?
Welcome to my gratitude support group! All are welcome to be a part of the gratitude crew. Re-blog, write a note or send an ask as often as makes sense for you (just once, every day, twice a year, a few times a month— doesn’t matter!)
I tag parts of the crew almost every day. If you’d like to be on the tag list let me know.
All posts will be tagged ‘resiliencewithin’s daily gratitude group’.
Prompt (if you want): What makes you feel grateful for your home?
i try to be grateful for many things, but the most grateful i’ll always be is for my hands. as an artist, my hands are definitely something i can’t (and don’t want to) live without. my mind conjures, and my hand creates. it is with my hands that i’m able to keep dabbling and rekindling my love for art making.
(kind of a shameless plug about some of the things i’ve done, but who else should celebrate my works but myself, right? right! ♡ॢ₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎)
another H that i am grateful for is my friend, whom i’ve kept in touch with regularly since i left one of my previous workplaces. not a lot of my friends have witnessed my most depressive state (and honestly, i wouldn’t be comfortable with most of my friends seeing me in that state since i know not all of them can fully grasp or even have the headspace to try to see things from my side just because of differences in our stages of life), but this friend has seen it, and still chose to remain a friend up until now that i’m beginning to heal from my previous season. i’ll always be grateful for her presence, support, and friendship, and i’m glad our paths ever crossed.
whenever our schedules aligned and we have time to meet up, we catch up over food, drinks, and art.
