the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the “how was your week” thread isn’t a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples’ posts aren’t getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don’t gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this’ll be a good way of getting to know all the people you’re now on here with

    my wife is a big fan of shipping in fandoms. she also loves genshin impact, and there’s a ship between zhongli (archon of geo) and childe (secret agent of shitheadville). zhongli often uses childe’s seemingly inexhaustible source of funds for various things, and when I saw “Gaywallet” I was 100% sure you were referencing childe being zhongli’s gaywallet.

    A joke isn’t funny if you have to explain it, but god damn my wife thought it was the funniest thing ever when I was ruminating on whether your name was a reference to this ship or not.

      A lot of people ask where my name comes from. I typically have to ask them where they think it comes from to get quality content like this, but I’m glad you offered it without my prompt! I find other people’s origin stories for my name much more interesting and fun. I should probably start a list somewhere with this information so other people can peruse it.

        Yeah, so this is apparently the ship page for it. In the right sidebar, under “Also known as”, Zhongli and his Wallet.

        I was convinced that’s what it was from! Unshakeable conviction!
