They pronounce it completely wrong and think it’s just some ancient name that is older than Teyvat because The Creator isn’t named that… right? Right?!

Imagine in SAGAU that the characters think you’re username is your actual name.

URGENT! Stop KOSA!

Hey all, this is BáiYù and Sauce here with something that isn't necessarily SnaccPop related, but it's important nonetheless. For those of you who follow US politics, The Kids Online Safety Act passed the Senate yesterday and is moving forward.

This is bad news for everyone on the internet, even outside of the USA.

What is KOSA?

While it's officially known as "The Kids Online Safety Act," KOSA is an internet censorship masquerading as another "protect the children" bill, much in the same way SESTA/FOSTA claimed that it would stop illegal sex trafficking but instead hurt sex workers and their safety. KOSA was originally introduced by Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass. and Bill Cassidy, R-La. as a way to update the 1998 Children’s Online Privacy Act, raising the age of consent for data collection to 16 among other things. You can read the original press release of KOSA here, while you can read the full updated text of the bill on the official USA Congress website.

You can read the following articles about KOSA here:

EFF: The Kids Online Safety Act is Still A Huge Danger to Our Rights Online

CyberScoop: Children’s online safety bills clear Senate hurdle despite strong civil liberties pushback

TeenVogue: The Kids Online Safety Act Would Harm LGBTQ+ Youth, Restrict Access to Information and Community

The quick TL;DR:

KOSA authorizes an individual state attorneys general to decide what might harm minors

Websites will likely preemptively remove and ban content to avoid upsetting state attorneys generals (this will likely be topics such as abortion, queerness, feminism, sexual content, and others)

In order for a platform to know which users are minors, they'll require a more invasive age and personal data verification method

Parents will be granted more surveillance tools to see what their children are doing on the web

KOSA is supported by Christofascists and those seeking to harm the LGBTQ+ community

If a website holding personally identifying information and government documents is hacked, that's a major cybersecurity breach waiting to happen

What Does This Mean?

You don't have to look far to see or hear about the violence being done to the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities worldwide, who are oftentimes one and the same. Social media sites censoring discussion of these topics would stand to do even further harm to folks who lack access to local resources to understand themselves and the hardships they face; in addition, the fact that websites would likely store personally identifying information and government documents means the death of any notion of privacy.

Sex workers and those living in certain countries already are at risk of losing their ways of life, living in a reality where their online activities are closely surveilled; if KOSA officially becomes law, this will become a reality for many more people and endanger those at the fringes of society even worse than it already is.

Why This Matters Outside of The USA

I previously mentioned SESTA/FOSTA, which passed and became US law in 2018. This bill enabled many of the anti-adult content attitudes that many popular websites are taking these days as well as the tightening of restrictions laid down by payment processors. Companies and sites hosted in the USA have to follow US laws even if they're accessible worldwide, meaning that folks overseas suffer as well.

What Can You Do?

If you're a US citizen, contact your Senators and tell them that you oppose KOSA. This can be as an email, letter, or phone call that you make to your state Senator.

For resources on how to do so, view the following links:

https://www.stopkosa.com/

https://linktr.ee/stopkosa

If you live outside of the US or cannot vote, the best thing you can do is sign the petition at the Stop KOSA website, alert your US friends about what's happening, and raise some noise.

Above all else, don’t panic. By staying informed by what’s going on, you can prepare for the legal battles ahead.

I’m having thoughts again. help-!

Anyway imagine if the Creator was into SCP. Do you think the Genshin characters would realize it’s fiction? I can imagine Dottore using the Creator’s interest in this foundation to justify his experiments. Collei would probably be terrified.

like/reblog if u are:

a bastard

an all around fool

an omnipresent all-powerful being

a sparrow

c̵͙̳͕̈͛ụ̷̔r̸̗͎̽̓͗͜s̴̨̈́̿͘e̸͍̰̜͊̈́d̵̛̫̙͍͝͝

capable of moving at immense, incomprehensible speeds

an eldritch being

no one will know which one u chose! :D

Honestly my cat would get more affectionate just to screw with the Overgrown Lizard Men lol

Okay so I call my cat a baby a lot and I imagine in SAGAU they can’t see beyond the screen and can only hear. I imagine all the characters are like “Oh my god! The creator has a child!” I imagine they prepare a top of the line nursery in preparation for when the Creator finally descends. They go out searching for the best people in childcare in Teyvat because their Creator is probably already going to be so busy. The least they can to is provide childcare. Later when the creator actually descends they realize the creator was actually talking to their beloved cat.

So I’ve been lovingly calling Furina a girlfailure since I got and I can only imagine every time I call her that she in my character menu 5 seconds away from running to cry to Neuvillette about how the creator is bullying her.

If you’re ever attacked make sure to scratch them. You could get important DNA evidence. Also be careful about who you approach for help. Some traffickers have started using women and child decoys to gain your trust.

Chapter 2:

(Y/N) and Amber both stared at the black blood that was pooling under (Y/N)’s wounds. They both slowly looked up to each other. Their eyes meeting as (Y/N) could practically see the gears turning in Amber’s head. If Amber’s bow wasn’t still pointed at them they would have had a chuckle. It was funny in the same way as a kitten getting scared of their own shadow. As the black blood continued to flow out of (Y/N) something wasn’t right about the reflection. A pair of sharp red glowing eyes appeared in the puddle. Eyes that (Y/N) had only seen before in their own mind and in the Monster Hunting Guide they made in collaboration with an artist. Their worry was proven right when a pitch black paw with large claws reached out of the puddle. It is Beo. A monster from a horror story (Y/N) wrote early into their writing career. (Y/N) was writing short horror stories based on different phobias.“Creator… Creator threatened… eliminate threat…” A deep gravelly voice growled as a second pitch black paw joined the first. Amber looked horrified. It’s clear that Amber knows what Beo is. Despite having been shot by her (Y/N) didn’t want Amber to die. Beo climbed his way out of the puddle. His pitch black fur coated in the blood of his creator that he just crawled out of. He starts growling and slowly prowling. (Y/N) racks their mind to think of how to get him to stop. He has a set of commands that are the only he follows and only when the one he’s chosen to be his master is the one to speak them. Beo’s growls are getting louder as he’s getting closer and closer to a stunned Amber. Soon (Y/N) remembers the command. (Y/N) silently curses themself for not remembering the command sooner. “Beo Yield!” It seems to work as Beo immediately freezes mid step. Beo growls as he returns to (Y/N)’s side begrudgingly. “Why Creator? Why do you see mercy on one that’d threaten her own creator!”

Author’s note: … so uh… it’s been awhile… I don’t have an excuse or anything but then again I’ve never been one for consistent updates. Anyway I’m going to say this now and here but (Y/N)s team is going to be based on mine which I haven’t change since I got Wanderer. The team is Razor, Amber, Wanderer and Barbara.

Huh wasn’t expecting that tonight.

in hindsight Johnny Bravo actually had a humiliation kink probably

Chapter 1: SAGAU Horror Writer.

(Y/N) stared into those beautiful stars as they tried to figure out what happened. They were shot. Now they’re here. They feel completely fine. Better than ever in fact. They slowly began to accept what happened to them. (I’m an isekai protagonist. God damn it.) (Y/N) carefully got up, surprised that there wasn’t any of their usual back pain but ignored that for the moment as they looked at their surroundings. They were by a lake with an oddly familiar statue on a small island in the middle. (Is that fucking Venti?!). (Y/N) realizes not only were they isekaied but they were isekaied to Tayvat. The setting of their favorite game. (Y/N) has many questions. Particularly why the grass everywhere but where they step seems to be dying. It’s not only the grass but all of the plant life. There are also no animals in sight. Not even the ones that are supposed to spawn. Now that they look more at Venti’s statue, they realize it looked in disrepair. Instead of its normal blue glow, it glows red. Like one that’s still waiting to be unlocked. After having that thought (Y/N) waded through the water towards the statue and mimicked the action they had seen the traveler do many times. They put their hand on the statue and the statue started glowing a brighter blue than (Y/N) had ever seen before. (That might just be because I’m seeing it in person.) The statue also quickly repaired itself. When that happened it seemed as if life came back to the area. The grass was green and they could see small bits of wildlife starting to return. A burst of wind also came through. (Y/N) recognizes where they are as Starfell Lake. (Mondstadt should be nearby but would it be a good idea to go? This could be similar to one of those imposter AUs people were making. If that’s the case it would be a bad idea to stick around when no doubt someone will notice the change in the area soon.) (Y/N) looks at Mondstadt in the distance as they turn and start running in the opposite direction. After a while of traveling they end up at a beach with one of the Teleport Waypoints right where they came in. (Y/N) debate whether or not they should activate the waypoint before deciding not to for now. (That would just make it easier to track me if this is an imposter au situation.) (Y/N) knows this is where the game started well… unless you counted Celestia. They begin to think about what they should do when they hear a sound. They see a flash of red come down from the nearby cliff as they feel a sharp pain in their shoulder. They can’t help but cry out as it burns. (Amber. Of course Amber would be the one to find me. Amber who has been part of my team from the very beginning.) “Stop! Imposter!” Y/N ignored Amber’s yells for them to stop until Amber lands another hit on them with her bow. This time the burning was in their leg and sent them tumbling to the ground. As (Y/N) carefully flipped themself over, (Y/N)’s eyes are wide with fear as they see Amber looking at them from a distance with a look of fear, regret and confusion. (Y/N) soon realizes it wasn’t (Y/N) she was looking at. (Why is my blood black?)

Ya'll read this thread ! It's not something I have actively thought about but I think they make a great point here.

Welp prepare for an alien invasion people

Horror Writer SAGAU Prologue

Our story starts with 23 year old (Y/N), a horror writer pretty well known online. They haven’t gotten a chance to be published as most companies didn’t want to take the risk that their original monsters and interconnected universe would bring to the table. They currently make their living through patron and a part time job at a small coffee shop near their apartment. It was during one of their shifts that they were in the back listening to music, preparing a slice of cake a customer ordered and trying to varying degrees of success to think of new ideas. (Y/N) finished preparing the cake and went to bring it to the counter so that it could be given to the customer. This sadly was the worst time to do it. As (Y/N) walked out of the back they saw that there was a man holding a gun to the cashier. That was all (Y/N) got to see before the gun was pointed at them and a shot rang out. Then they were on the ground watching their own blood pooling on the wooden floors as their vision slowly darkened. They slowly lost all of their senses and fell into a void. They don’t know how they heard it but they heard a voice. It said “It’s time to go home, my dear creator.” They were then pushed out of the void. They slowly started regaining their senses one by one. First it was their sense of touch. It is hard to describe but it felt like parts of their body was being added to and changed. It wasn’t painful though, it was actually almost comforting. Soon they started being able to feel the soft grass under them. Then their hearing started returning. They started hearing the wind blowing, birds singing and water. (So I’m somewhere near water?) After that taste returned. There wasn’t much to taste but their own saliva. Then smell returned and they could smell the grass. Finally they could open their eyes and see. As they opened their eyes they could see the beautiful night sky. There was so many more stars then they ever got to see before. (Is this what light pollution robbed us of?) A question came out of their mouth not directed to anyone in particular. “Is this heaven?”

A few more ideas for Horror Writter SAGAU

“(Y/N)” has become a popular baby name in Tayvat because The Creator used to write Y/N x Jeff the Killer fanfiction.

The Creator bleeds black because most of their original monsters do after someone tried to steal one of their works. They use it as a kind of discrete signature. Their vessel funnily enough counts.

Much of the plants around Tayvat are dying due to the Dendro Archon and furthermore the element is rejecting the Imposter Creator. The Creator plays it off being because they do not feel the people have earned it.

*stares at Fischl*

So I might actually do this so here is what I got so far for the Horror Writer SAGAU

The idea is that said horror writer is isekaied into Tavyat. Their works and WIP were previously appearing in various parts of Tavyat in the form of books. It is heavily debated in Tavyat wether these books are warnings, documentation of past events or a testimony of events that are currently going on in their current world. An example of how much this effects Tavyat is that the Creepypasta fanfic they wrote when they were 12 has caused those that believe it to be a warning/past events have been calling for forested areas to be heavily patrolled and that their nation’s children show not be allowed to enter such places alone vision holder or not for fear that the SlenderMan taking them. A few weeks before the creator decends an imposter showed up. The imposter is cruel and threatens to release the horrors in the stories on Tavyat as a whole if they do not obey their creator’s every order. One of those orders is to destroy anyone that tries to impersonate The Creator. When the actual Creator arrives they are surprised to see the state of Tavyat. As they try to make their was to Mondstadt, they get chased down by Outrider Amber who manages to get a (thankfully) non-pyro infused shot in the shoulder of The Creator. You can imagine the shock she feels upon seeing this “imposter” bleeds (color to be determined). Amber realizes what is happening but knows they are currently in no shape to take down the real imposter. She gives The Creator a brief rundown on the situation and helps bring them somewhere safe to recover their strength which happens to be in Wolvendom. That is where they meet Razor and his Lupical that don’t trust the Imposter Creator. However when they find find the real Creator they can smell from their blood that they are the real Creator to which they immediately shelter them. (I’m a Razor main and he doesn’t get nearly enough recognition in this au.)

Wait till they see the OC x Jeff the Killer fanfics

Help my brain is putting together a whole ass plot for this

Horror Writer Creator in SAGAU

Hear me out… Imagine that all of the Creators works and WIP show up in Tavyat as books. What would the characters think seeing stories of horrific situations that of all people their creator made. Would they realize that it is fiction or would they believe it is documentation of something that actually happened. Would they perceive it as a warning from the creator?
