Being hyped over someone who took a role when the only reason for silence is due to AI related rights for VAs, plus some interesting choices hyv wants to have rights to with voices themselves, is honestly lowkey shameful. These people were excited for their roles in Natlan and barely got to experience them. Showing solidarity with each other and the community with them is how we help all VAs, rather than none. They literally want to have rights and ownership of their own voice.
Woah bro, you totally miss read me! I was never hype about the change. I totally agree with everything you just said, I was never hype about the change. Coming from an artist, Ai has to be one of the worst things to have ever happened and I want nothing more then to have companies stop funding and feeding into it.
Hoyo is a multi millionaire company who was trying to switch all the va’s to a new company but clearly with the with Kinich’s va, that switch never happened. I don’t know the details of it but seeing as Hoyo again is a company, patience will run out. I truly think Hoyo could have tried harder but in the end, a company does what a company does. (I am not supporting Hoyo for this choice in this).
I made that post to just inform my mutuals and small following. I was not speaking on anything other than what I heard and was told.
Nibelung with no armor, no crown, no cool sword, nothing but pure :-| He's lowkey cute like that tho...
Huge fan of the memes, I think it would be cool if for some of the memes you include the original photos too, in case people don’t know what the original looks like/if the pictures block it a bit
Honestly, I totally would do that but I also fear I might end up over crowding the post with too many images like when I post three or four memes. But I’ll totally start doing that for when I post less memes if that’s what you want <33
He actually was a child, just a kid who is stronger then a adult male.
feral tapeworm having baby och-kan canon
(yes i know it says adult male but he had to start from somewhere)
What do you mean this dialogue wasn't in the 5.5 WQ flahsbacks? I saw it with my two very own eyes.
(Inspired by a post I saw here but can't find now- I'll link it up when I do)
I love my dragonlords and we better get SO MUCH LORE (We are cause I read the text maps)
If you're playing any Hoyo games without reading the lore or paying attention to the story YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT
Today’s meme: I’ve come to a revelation

Og meme:
hey fam, sad to bring these news but no memes tonight. Pinterest isn’t working and I don’t know if it’s just a me thing or a global thing. I will make up for this with a ukulele apology song and my blood and tears. This, this is the true tragedy😞.
Memes are gonna be later tonight sorry guys 😭🙏
Okay so you guys know that Ixlel had that whole eldritch aura going on right?
And the description from the nameless artisan/Manqu:
Slowly and calmly she walked towards me, as if the fire were nothing more than a gentle spring breeze. Her face... I have never seen anything like it. Even the purest of crystals could not be fashioned into the likeness of such skin, nor could the purest of turquoise be carved into such eyes. Yet for reasons I cannot explain, that face, which should have been the very picture of beauty, was... so nauseatingly repulsive... Through those turquoise eyes, those pupils whose beauty was almost terrifying, I saw naught but endless, unfathomable darkness and void; a space that no language could describe, unlike anything I have ever seen in the brief few decades of my transient life.
- Artisan's memo (III)
So I thought, "Hmm, the other Dragonlords probably had this eldritch-ness going on. Even more so for their sire, Xiuhcoatl. Plus, there's already eldritch element in Natlan; that mf Gosoythoth that's inspired from Yog-Sothoth"
From there I was digging through the possible eldritch figure that could inspire Xiuhcoatl.
And well don't you look at that?
Yig, the Father of Serpents.
Disclaimer: I have yet to read H.P Lovecraft's works and I haven't dabble to much in eldritch fiction, so all my knowledge about this figure comes from the wikis. Also, for those who don't know, H.P Lovecraft was a massive racist-fuck, and it bleed to his works with many of the eldritch figures were seemingly inspired from indigenous deities/spirits. So tread his works with care.
Yig is a eldritch deity introduced in the book "The Curse of Yig" co-written by H.P Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop. He is "the snake-god of the central plains tribes," and "a shunned and feared object in central Oklahoma."
The story describes him as:
an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents; but in the autumn he became abnormally ravenous, and had to be driven away by means of suitable rites.
The snake-god's chief quality was "a relentless devotion to his children," making it taboo to kill snakes. Those "who flouted him or wreaked harm upon his wriggling progeny" would suffer the "curse of Yig," in which the deity would "turn his victim, after suitable tortures, to a spotted snake."
In one of the expanded Cthulhu mythos (works that are written by people other than H.P Lovecraft), his mate is Coatlicue, which in the real-life mythology has many snake motives and is the mother of the sun god Huitzilopochtli, the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, and the gods of the stars Centzon Huitznahua. And you know who's the creator of the in-game Huitzilopochtli right.
An in-story ethnologist stated that Yig is the dark prototype for the more benevolent Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan (you see where I'm going.)
But this part is what I consider to be the most fascinating: Yig was also one of the two main gods (the other being Cthulhu) worshipped by the people of K'n-yan, a subterranean realm under a "sky" of glowing blue clouds similar to the Northern Lights, occupied by a hidden race of advanced prehistoric humanoids. They hailed from a planet much like Earth, the K'n-yanians were supposedly brought across space by Tulu, founding a vast and mighty civilisation. However, after the Mu continent sank, they sealed themselves away from the rest of the world. They blamed the "Space-devils" for the great sinking that "submerged the gods themselves, including great Tulu, who still lay prisoned and dreaming..." with the only human survivors being the space-devils' own agents.
K'n-Yan is the name of the author of "The Men of Lithin". And reading their history... doesn't they sound a bit similar to Khaenri'ah? Plus, this 'space-devils' is a bit similar to the Primordial One's coming. Defeating the original gods and then planted their own agents...
Huh, what if Nibelung is supposed to be Cthulhu? Being worshipped alongside Xiuhcoatl, and his murals showed up in Natlan. That also kinda explain why he looked similar to Xiuhcoatl in the murals?
Idk, I just want to share my discovery with you. In another note, kdnsjkskssnns "Father of Serpents" and fierce love for his children... my 'mama Xiuhcoatl' agenda isn't that far-fetched I guess!
Btw this is how Yig's children look like. Aren't they adorable😍
