    ACTIVITY
_{As of presently, consider this blog low activity. I have a mostly-full time retail job that eats up a lot of my time, especially during busy weeks.}    COMMON COURTESY
_{Just your standard common sense stuff! Please don't God Mod or get pushy about shipping or replies. You never have to worry about rushing on replies or matching reply length with mine, just as long as there's effort there.}    OFF LIMITS / DNI
_{Basically, don't be predatory, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or an otherwise shitty human being. Other things that don't fly are pedophilia/non-con/ and incest.}Non-RP/Personal Accounts will be blocked, for the sanity of my post notes. DNI if you're a minor, I'm an old lady and just not comfortable writing with anyone under 18.

    BLOG CONTENT
~Given that this is Xiao, this blog WILL naturally contain violence, blood, and dark themes in the way of eons of yaksha trauma; in addition to other things like PTSD and chronic and mental iillness.My tagging system is ' trigger tw '. If you ever need anything tagged, please don't hesitate to let me know!~I'm an old school roleplayer (est like, 2012, I'm old.) so I tend to run a pretty simple formatting on this blog, but I will do my best to mimic your style. Additionally, I am also a frequent poster of goofy content and ooc posts (will tag both), so if that's not your type of thing... yeah.    SHIPPINGThe general rule is that I ship for chemistry, though I do have Xiao ships that I lean towards and seek out. Xiaoven {Xiao x Venti} & Xiao-Traveler being the two primary as of the start of this blog.I do NOT do Xiao x Zhongli. To each their own, it's just not for me. For me and my Xiao, that's his dad, end of story.    CONTACTI'm a simple creature who loves to rant and rave about musings, AUs, tropes, symbolism, relatable showtunes (ya girl is a theatre kid), and ships. You too are always welcome to join me in tumblr DMs at any time; I also have a Discord for Extra Intense Yelling About Genshin and will happily give it out once we get to know each other a bit!

MAINS

 wanderer ren  erabundus, written by avalon

== "Stubborn. Obnoxious. more powerful than he has any right to be... a proficient fighter. hmph."==

==A "perfectly ordinary wanderer", more like Xiao than he knows. Initially distrustful, Xiao spends his time with the other in an odd friendship-rivalry, getting into skirmishes and going on demon hunts. ==

MAINS

 venti  wendeiwisp, written by runa

" 相守一生，是我唯一的心愿。。 "
" together for a lifetime, is my only wish. "

Bard of Mondstadt, Archon of The Land of Anemo; Whatever the title, the last yaksha finds himself enamored. Connected to the other by devotion, gratitude, and the millennia-spun threads of fate.

Hi! I'm Jess! ( 26 / she/her / EST )I've been playing Genshin for about two years. AR 58. My main DPSes are Xiao (C2, ♕♕♕), Eula (C0, ♕♕♕), and Yae Miko (C3, ♕♕♕).I like musical theatre, video games and using too many semicolons. I am simply just a silly goose who can usually be found making dumb jokes on discord. If you befriend me expect showtune lyrics relevant to your/our characters, links and fanart of your muse, and general incoherent nonsense.
