yknow what, im gonna say it
despite what most people/players say, genshins story and world building sucks ASS. the seven main nations are there yes and they all represent one thing or mainly representing one thing but isnt it weird how mondstadt, liyue and inazuma are very traditional fantasy themed with the whole super specific technology only the fantasy world has, the usual fantasy weapons, powers etc but then sumeru and natlan and BOOM! internet, dj, clubbing and all those advanced things are shown? isnt fontaine supposed to be the only technologically advanced nation out of the seven? dont even get me started on the whitewashing of sumeru and natlan characters/cast and the extremely racist undertones of the origin of hilichurls
edit: i was too angry when typing the first part that i forgot the main reason i wanted to ramble-
2) the traveler.
in the game/story/characters’ voicelines, the traveler is constantly alluded to be a witness to the change/shift of teyvat and its rebellion against the heavenly orders/celestia. even zhongli said it during his companion quest (i believe). okay cool, got it, the traveler is a witness— ay ay ay, why is there a backstory thing going on? wdym the traveler is meant to be a self-insert type of mc? you cant make a character a self-insert with a lore/backstory thing going on. you cant make a character a self-insert if they have a rich lore going on. make it clear already, is the traveler a self-insert AKA. stand in for us, the player? or are they meant to be their own character with story instead?
3) immortality/mortality
i dont know what it says on the chinese language dictionary but im pretty sure 500 year old survivor of kheanri’ah doesnt exactly translate to mortal, human, or hell, normal. idk man, i suck at math, but i think being cursed with immortality and living until ur 500 or smt years old makes you an immortal/inhuman
4) fatui harbingers
the MAIN reason i wanted to ramble in anger. from their very first introduction with la signora in mondstadt, you can already just feel that the fatui are a force that is feared all across the seven nations as both a diplomatic and military force. theyre elusive, sneaky, will not hesitate to get their hands dirty and their so called ‘diplomats’ (the harbingers) can and will step over the diplomatic boundaries to not only insult, but assault the archon of mondstadt. theyre a threat threat but now theyre just another laughing stock. if anything, they feel like a fucking circus.
at the introduction video of all the harbingers and the last act of sumeru archon quest, we are given the lore bomb that the first three fatui harbingers have a power to rival the GODS and had been quietly eluded that capitano had even defeated a god or two despite being a mere mortal. and that is terrifying, that is fear inducing. just the thought of a mere mortal like ourselves going tow to toe against gods is a terrifying thought itself and arlecchino has proven herself and set the bar even higher when she made an absolute fool out of the traveler during the fontaine archon quest. the next nation will have capitano, the strongest mortal, the first fatui harbinger, the man that could rival the gods and now ur telling us that he is not in fact a mortal man but yet another 500 year old khaenri’ah survivor? we get it hoyo, u love the number 500, but that makes him NOT a mere mortal doesnt it? and he basically got his ass handed to himself too. i am immensely disappointed
my first favorite hobby is yapping. second is being extremely quiet and not talking ever at all ever.
you can only find comments like these on tumblr anymore i have never seen these fourteen words in the same sentence before
ok, i have OFFICIALLY reached my limit -> lets talk about absolutely forced the ZZZ hate is
like- it's fine if the game isn't your cup of tea, i totally understand that it can be a bit much for some people, but my brother in christ did you know your thumbs- the same ones you used to make a pointless hate post or comment- CAN SCROLL??
no one is forcing this game down y'all's throats you can simply block the tag, you can select 'not interested' on videos, AND you can live a peaceful life
it is literally just a game, it was never that serious
"b-but Jane-" SHUT UP 👹
Jane is an interrogator, it's her job to make people uncomfortable so that they spill information. She didn't SA anybody, be so fucking for real. Her hand brushed someone's chest and she kneeled between their legs and that is literally all that happened. -> Is it right? No, of course not! But it was for a job that was actively putting people in danger, and NOT in an everyday situation. bc she would never genuinely assault somebody
was her trailer a bit much? for me, yeah it was. i didn't particularly enjoy it. but yk what? i put on my big kid pants and i moved on with my life
ZZZ is a MEME game, it does not take itself seriously because it's not supposed to be serious. it has it's moment, of course, and they're executed beautifully but at it's core
✨IT'S ENTERTAINMENT✨
if you don't like the fan service, THAT'S FINE! everybody has different tastes, and yk what? nobody is forcing you to play
scroll and give yourself some peace.

This was very fun to do! Thank you.
There's just something about the rubble only being visible in Fyodor's shadow in this panel.
Something about how he destroys everything he touches, about how misery and ruin is all he's capable of creating, about how everything that's happening, has happened, all comes back to him.
Shadows usually obscure things from view, but darkness is all Fyodor is, that's where he's revealed.
goddddddddd void's design drives me mad. why are you dressed like a gay priest? who are you praying to? other men? a specific man, even?
headcanon based on the times welt had to remake his body.
personally? i don't think he anticipated needing to literally memorize everything, so he's just going off of what seems about right. but like. that's bound to have mistakes. it's nothing like huge, like he still mostly looks like "welt yang"
but little things like his exact shade of brown being slightly off, maybe his hands are just a slightly different size, tiny things like that.
not generally noticeable, but just enough to be kinda Off-Feeling when welt looks in a mirror. like yea it's him. but hm.
does it bother him? probably not a ton, it's not super important he didn't Exactly remember every tiny measurement of his body. but maybe just sometimes it's a little unnerving.
part 1 (on VA and being better than humans)
part 2 (on welt and being just a human)
i will never not find it funny to point out that the slut from second eruption and the kind old man on the astral express are pretty much the same person, with the exception that welt is significantly less burdened while traveling with the express (doesn't say much though). but mainly also bc i went through the experience of playing hsr and going "oh he's pretty calm and collected!" to getting into hi3 and going "oh wow he used to be pretty unhinged" to seeing what he's up to right before hsr (hi3 after-story) and going "oh. the. the hi3 one is the most normal one actually. that guy is uh. hm. okay." (<- brimming with excitement)
got sidetracked. anyways, these two drawings are decent examples?
right one in the first image is moreso the hi3 version. his hair looks pretty overgrown in the manga and game, though i didn't capture that too well in this sketch. a difference i like to make between hi3 and hsr welt is that the hi3 one looks more tired, because he is, while the hsr one ironically appears younger simply because he's more angry and alert looking. a big part of him in hsr is how he acts all wise and old but is clearly still young at heart - he's currently closer to behaving like the joyful kid he used to be than he was for the past century.
