what if the abyss twin is an abyssal copy of the real twin (one who believes loves us) and they’re trying to figure out a way to replace them before we realize the truth? #genshinlore albedo type shenanigans

Day 3 #DVParty - First Line

A deep green square with quote: "Cornelia could always tell when a date was going to be a waste of wine."

On the bottom right corner it says "ellipsus" which is the name of a collaborative writing app.

A little late to day 1 of #DVParty but hey, better late than never! Moodboard for EMBERFORGED A dark epic romantic fantasy featuring a cunning but cursed Afro-Latina Fae queen, a fallen God searching for his lost love, a Caribbean-inspired kingdom, and the slowest of burns ❤️‍🔥

A collage of 9 photos:

1. A golden crown with emeralds with a faded background.

2. Black and white hands on opposing sides, their fingers nearly touching.

3. Lovers covered in fog, the woman nearly pressing a kiss against her lover's nose.

4. Afro-latina woman covered in vines.

5. A marble statue almost kissing.

6. White and grey feathers.

7. A creek surrounded by moss and forest with hundreds of golden little motes of light.

8. A quote of poem by Alfonsina Storni "You, who opened suns in my heart,"

9. A copse of palm trees covered in fog.

Hi! 👋 We are Cristal & Nicole, two Dominican writers who drink way too much cafecito. Currently, we're getting ready to query our slow burn, Caribbean-inspired dark romantic fantasy novel featuring fated lovers bound by a vow in death. #writersky #writingcommunity

A collage of images inspired by a dark romantic fantasy novel. There is a text that reads "The vow burned through her heart, a cage of fire and bone locking shut."

Top row is a woman wearing a white dress and pearls, back facing us, with white flowers plastered across her back. Next image is a broken sky with bleeding light. Next to that one is a man long white hair, his back to us, wearing dark clothes.

Middle row is a woman made of fire. Next image is a shadow of two lovers almost kissing, their hands almost touching, one of them floats above. The last image on this row has a fallen angel with dark wings, his hand extended.

Last row features a woman's hands open, covered in gold dust. Next image is a crown of golden laurels with white flowers set over an open book. Last image is a hand covered in strings of purple energy, almost reaching out.

Final #preview of #Dragon #RaidenEi Theory before I publish it this week! Did you know the twins are based on the creator gods Izanami and Izanagi, and that at one point in the myths, the birth of Ryujin (the Dragon) is attributed to Izanagi? The same Ryujin known as Watatsumi!

#Preview of #Dragon #RaidenEi Theory (Part 4) - Narukami island is shaped like a Magatama, and isn't it an interesting coincidence that the same island that symbolizes "the homeland" of Shogun is shaped like the "homeland" in Apep's Heart of Oasis? #GenshinLore #GenshinTheory

I still can’t believe this game gave me one of the best characters, concepts, and story modes only to switch everything up to the point where I’m not even sure I want to keep playing cause nothing feels familiar or fun anymore? But I’ll always have the moment I got my WIFE! #HugoVlad Do u play ZZZ?

The Fatui have been experimenting with machines that filter cursed god remains through a "divine soul" furnace, and in the GAA, there was an attempt to harness dream/memory power. What would be the culmination of these experiments if not to create some artificial "god" core?

I think whatever secret celestia is hiding, the truth that the seelie shared with diff god kings (and with the voyager) and the "higher purpose" that the devs said the humans in teyvat serve is whatever is explained in these books #genshinlore

I know he’s called Deus Auri because of alchemical/cultivation “gold” connections and the fact that he wields the Geo element (+ Mora flows through his veins) but there’s an angle here about the purpose of gold when it comes to computers… Mr. Prime of The Adepti out here looking like a motherboard.

Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧🥮🎇 To celebrate, I’ve done some research into this Lantern Rite’s “Rex Coin” and found some really funny details! While it looks at first glance like Genshin-script for Fú福 (Blessing), it’s actually closer to Lì利 (Profit!) and I’ll explain why:
