For Genshin, It Has To Be Wriothesley Because I’m Not Known (by My Friends And Even Family, I Mean)

today marks the first month i got accepted in my current workplace and i want to record this day so i can have something to look back to.

the recent limited event in genshin reminds me a little bit of honkai's aetherium wars and man how i dislike aetherium wars with a passion (⊙︿⊙✿)

(still finishing aetherium wars over at honkai because i started late and i just want to work on my honkai backlogs (⊙︿⊙✿))

i’ve been meaning to post a lot here, and use this more than i used this before, but life has consumed me lately, though i’m not complaining. i’m actually in a much better headspace now, but also in that perpetual state of being neutral with life events recently.

anyway

perhaps i’m really biased towards kaveh, but i want—demand—him to participate in a summer patch because i feel like it just suits his creative nature, and being someone who practices design and art, it only makes sense that he’d find the time (and budget, i guess) to travel around and enrich his knowledge and appreciation even more. yes, i’m probably just biased, which is why i toured most of the simulanka realm with kaveh.

(also, i could’ve cropped the genshin watermark on the photos, but i guess that’s just for another time. i do wish they can do something about that since hsr has an option to hide the game’s logo when taking photos. that said, i do think that between the three current popular hyv games, genshin’s camera option is the most optimal since it captures the scenery the way you last framed it, where as with hsr and zzz, i’d take a few minutes to set up the scene i want to capture just to get the desired composition.)

this summer patch isn’t really something that i was super excited about compared to the previous summer patches, but i really liked how the simulanka world was designed, especially with the origami characters of the forest of blessings! actually, it’s because of the realm itself that i kept on coming back every time i log in because i just like going around there and taking photos. in spite of feeling nonchalant about this, i do feel that sadness i always feel after summer patches because even in games, i am bad with goodbyes (T^T )

natlan patch is tomorrow, and i can already see how busy my week will be as a hyv games enthusiast (not sure if i should be proud of it because gacha is another form of gambling, and i play genshin, hsr, and zzz so what does that make me, right?).

changed kemeroot’s island flag from usagyun pixel art to kaveh’s friendship namecard earlier, and i realized i wanted to make more of these when time permits me (i’m already thinking about making one of thoma’s and wriothesley’s because next best husbands also deserve slots in my custom designs!). anyway, i’m happy with the way it turned out.

maybe i’ll change my island tune, too, when i’m feeling a little hardworking with the changes in kemeroot. something sumeru music related or klee’s character demo song, whatever i’m in the mood for.

crammed this year's may day tour because i almost forgot about it until i was in the middle of finishing my tasks for the day at work earlier (⌯⊙⍛⊙)

i've been playing animal crossing new horizons since the year it was launched and though i don't religiously open it as much as i did (until genshin ate me completely), i still enjoy running around my island, talking to my villagers, and "working" on my happy home paradise island when i'm energized enough to design a rest house. plus i still want to finish decorating my island - something i promised myself i would three years ago hehehehehehe

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.

sometimes star rail hits a little too hard with the dialogues ⁝(ृ•ˇ‸ˇ•。 ृ　)ु⁝

not me delaying the rest of the trailblaze mission because the ✨death flags✨ are so real ( * ಥ ⌂ ಥ * )

now that i’m back in my childhood home, i’d like to say that after living in an apartment for rent, i’ve grown to appreciate my room since my teenage years because as much as i love reconnecting and seeing my friends from time to time, it provides the one quiet space i need when i badly need to recharge (as an introvert, and as a type 5 used to navigating life by myself mostly). i hope to keep this for as long as i can until i move out again (if there’s a need to move out again) because having that ✨one safe haven✨ is an underrated privilege that not a lot of people have.

(i do wish that for those who don’t have a place in their house where they feel the safest, you’ll be able to look for a space that you can truly treasure and make a safe haven out of.)
