One of my biggest pet peeves with EN Genshin fandom characterization is the constant outrage over characters being “OOC” and “unlike canon”... and then they cite:

a) the Japanese dub, which keeps the general gist the same but will sometimes wildly vary in characterization for the voice-acting

b) text from the English localization, which is a secondhand translation from CN -> JP -> EN (and will sometimes completely rewrite lines altogether as a result of this)

c) the English dub, which is based off the EN localization

I’m not here to criticize anybody’s VA preferences, but the hypocrisy over how biblically accurate a fan depiction needs to be to canon only to cite sources that are not, in fact, canon, drive me completely up the wall lmao 

(seriously, just say you want fanon to line up with the specific dub you’re playing instead of playing the “x character is so misunderstood and not portrayed as ~the devs intended them~” card -  there is something to be said of people misunderstanding basic lore in this fandom, but this ain’t it)

ramblings on helian yi and yiyuan

read qiye, they said. it will be healing, they said.

...nobody prepared me for the reality of Helian Yi brainrot.

like, do I think yiyuan is a good, healthy dynamic? can I see them realistically working it out? no. but something just *gets* me about how they're equals, two birds of the same feather. how seamlessly they plot and scheme together. how you can tell that once upon a lifetime, they really were soulmates. 

and that's it, honestly. starcrossed soulmates not meant to be is just such a delicious trope. the perfect trainwreck. the flavor.

they had their chance and Helian Yi ruined it. or, maybe, even if he hadn't, they still couldn't have been together. 

they are too similar where they should have been different, too different where they should have been similar. 

there is this famous poem in Chinese called 《长恨歌》, “the song of everlasting regret”, about emperor Tang Xuanzong and his favorite concubine that he had to put to death. in the final lines, the two make an oath for their next lives:

在天愿作比翼鸟，在地愿为连理枝 "In heaven above let us be one-winged birds and only in pairs fly, On earth let us be neighboring trees with our branches intertwined."

the one-winged bird is a creature in Chinese mythology who was born imperfect and can only fly with its mate. it’s a symbol for eternal dependence on each other through multiple lives, the deep bond between lovers, inseparable friendship.

and yiyuan is the opposite of that. two birds of the same feather, yet not of the one-winged sort.

I'm happy that Beiyuan finally gets his HE, that in his seventh life, he can leave the shackles of his suffering behind. but still. when I finish this novel, it's not xiyuan I'm thinking about. it's yiyuan and their ill-fated destiny. the could’ve-beens that weren’t.

tl;dr of this entire rant: help I'm deep in yiyuan/HLY brainrot, Alexa play "we could've had it all"

What's expected from Lucifer: You're m y property now get in bed and lets f r I c k. But also I'm a cold dickhead with no regard for your life outside of the exchange program. Ur just an object to me.

Lucifer in reality: I love my siblings so much. I built a shrine for Lilith and literally signed my life away to serving Diavolo just so she could have a chance at the life she wanted. I act like all I care about is the exchange program but in reality I am truly in love with you but am cautious about my feelings. Often times my brother's mock me for showing sensitivity so I've become defensive. You accepting my love means so much and I will try my hardest to pay you back for the blessings that you've given me. I do not want to be just another demon to you. I want to mean something. Please understand that my need for your love is greater than you can comprehend and I can express. My dominating personality comes from wanting to protect you and show my confusing feelings to you.
