me delving too deep into genshin lore and trying to prove why venti is one of the most important characters in the game bc he has lore everywhere and trying to connect him to lore that probably has nothing to do with him
but it does (source? trust me bro)
small little wriothesley study based off his ingame model <3
based on this comic (x)
too much to drink so his big brother is taking him home
I love Barbara so much genuinely she's just so cute, I need more fics with her and venti (platonically) together
Hey you ever think about The Characters so much to the point where
I'm really tired of the "woman sad about her arranged marriage" trope, especially if that woman is royalty.
I am sure that many women across time were sad about their arranged marriages, but I'm sure a lot of others were excited, ambivalent, or resigned. Again, especially if you were royalty! I am sure if you were born a princess, you were trained from birth that your whole purpose in life was to marry someone important to solidify the power of the person on the throne. And honestly, it's an important job, if it wasn't, they wouldn't have tried so hard to do it.
That woman isn't just marrying another king or prince, she's going to be an ambassador of her country. She's supposed to be there promoting good relations. She isn't just a woman being sold off, she has a job! Also, if she is marrying the reigning monarch (or the heir), she may well end up running the country if the king is off at war or he dies when the heir is really young. That happened a lot throughout history! (or maybe she marries the third son and helps him find his way to the throne. Good for her)
It just feels like a modern sentiment being projected back. In Romeo and Juliet, when Juliet's mother first brings up marrying her to Paris, Juliet's basically cool with it and says she'll try to like him. She would have known this was going to happen because that is what rich women do, they marry into another family so their two families can be buddies. What else would she even be expecting?
It wouldn't bother me so much except that it's all we see! Give me a story about a woman who is like, "Cool, I shall give it my all!" Or she's like rolling up her sleeves and planning how she's going to get the court on her side and rule France, power behind the throne style (these women are mostly portrayed as villains, but who is to say the king would do a better job?). And also, have a little faith in women's fathers? You think men in the past didn't occasionally consider the happiness of their daughters? Not even a little bit?
you're right and you should say it.
Going into 4.1 hoping I will finally be even remotely interested in Wrio.lette bc I cannot look for Neuvillette fanart without being bombarded w/ their ship art and then coming out of 4.1 with a soft spot for both Focallette and Wriorinde instead bc all Wrio.lette interactions were dreadfully boring and they had negative chemistry is... very funny actually.
Wrio's SQ is the last option Hoyoverse has to endear me to them but considering the dialogue count leaks that seems... uh... unlikely bc Neuvillette literally does not have a single line of dialogue in Wrio's SQ.
I like Wriothesley and I like Neuvillette but I may have to add the ship name to my blacklist just to scroll through their respective tags in peace lol
Worst fucking yaoi bait in Genshin history
just a cute little fact but august 1st is also designated as the universal birthday for shelter dogs whose actual birthdays are unknown

“people have this tendency to see me as an all-knowing figure with mystical powers. in reality, i'm just one man with two eyes and two ears. how can i possibly know everything that's happening in the fortress of meropide?”
"the tallest" "the brit" "the ravenette" "the oldest" "the pinkette" "the colorblind" "the smallest"
Please I beg you just use names and pronouns
