The theory that Teyvat is enclosed in a false sky/prison is so devastating to venti specifically because it means that Nameless bard (and the rest of old Mondstadt’s people) never truly saw the sky, they left their old prison only to enter a larger one. They died for nothing in a sense
I think that makes good reason for Venti to turn against celestia
Want some tea? 🍵
Next print done! very happy with how it turned out ❤️
Omg ur grace is that u aha
Not to be mean, but with the exception of like 3 whole people, Genshin stans and lore theorists have gotten so lazy. And then get mad cuz others don't agree with them.
Samsaras are revealed.
Anything that happened since then must be a samsara:
We're stuck in a samsara!
This whole thing must be a samsara!
Are those people trapped in a samsara?
Maybe the whole country is in a samsara of their destruction!
That sounds like a samsara!
Forbidden Knowledge is revealed.
Anything that causes discoloration or a change to your ability to view/hear the events MUST BE Forbidden Knowledge. It can't possibly be anything else:
The screen glitched! Forbidden Knowledge!
The screen darkened! Forbidden Knowledge!
The screen turned black and white! Forbidden Knowledge!
Character's voice becomes static and glitches out. Forbidden Knowledge!
There are so many themes in this damn game and I'm sick of seeing people just constantly falling back on samsara and forbidden knowledge.
just a cute little fact but august 1st is also designated as the universal birthday for shelter dogs whose actual birthdays are unknown
Genshin Impact | Clorinde & Wriothesley
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?
fell asleep, Merry Christmas everyone!!
