I Found A Picture Of My Dachshund From A Few Years Ago On My Phone, And Immediately Burst Into Tears.

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

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

You meet your soulmate at 15.

He’s a rough boy with bruised, bloody knuckles and a deep scratch under his eye. But he has gentle, downturned eyes that remind you of the blue of winters first frost.

He runs into you on your way home from school, crashing into you along the cobblestone path that leads you to your house, and when you get knocked backwards you feel yourself on the verge of tears from shock, but when his shaky hand comes out to help you up with a wobbly apology, you glance up at him and a sudden telltale warmth spreads from where your hands touch down to your toes. You feel your soul mark scratch at your skin and you gasp, but he only winces at the lightning prick of pain that tells him who you are to him.

He helps you up and your face warms. He looks panicked, like a cornered dog. You then spot the smattering of blood across his white school shirt. His shoes are caked with it, with dirt and scuffed from running through the mud. Your face falls and just before you can ask him if he’s okay, he tells you his name, and then pushes past you in a sprint. The scent of blood flies past your senses and you stare at his back as he gets smaller and smaller in the distance.

You don’t see him again for 15 years after that night.

Until one day you hear about the new Warden at the Fortress of Meropide, and without truly thinking - your finger curiously traces the somewhat familiar scar underneath the man’s eye on the photograph on the front page.

Your soul mark then hisses under your skin, the heat crawling up your arm and onto your tongue. Your brow pinches in confusion.

His name is unfamiliar, Wriothesley.

You only know the name of the boy who ran into you that night.

every time someone mischaracterizes nuanced character relationships and turns it into a basic parent-child dynamic, i die a little inside

my main gripe with this is about nahida being called scara's mom/aunt but it also extends to zhongli & xiao, wriothesley & sigewinne, neuvillette & furina, etc.

like. i enjoy found family as much as everyone else but that is a terrible injustice to the characters' writing. the character typecast as the child is infantilized to hell and back while the other character is reduced to a 2d caricature of the perfect parent. Bruh

don't get me wrong, headcanons are fine and all, it just irks me that some people consider it lore accurate when it really isn't
