A few past zines I've worked on is Match Point, 20.07.1994: An Oikawa Zine, and the Stardew Valley Cookbook! This will be the 16th zine I'm modding.Why do you like Chongyun?
Chongyun was the first 4* I pulled on beginners banner when I first downloaded the game. He was also the 3rd character that I got to c6, and the second that reached friendship level 10. I just adore his personality and story!

Chongyun was my first character rolled in the game and he carried me through my beginning content like the good lad he is. I have the opposite problem of attracting demons as my prophetic dreams and warnings somehow number in the double digits and man I just wish it wasn't my bedroom that was haunted with some ghost that likes scissors you know.

Cute frosty boy. I've been playing Genshin since its release but I still don't have him. Funnily enough Xingqiu was my first and I mained him at the very start.
