Fire & Ice

Watching as everyone on socmed loses their mind over the monument leak .... guys, can we please be serious for a moment? Cap obviously isn't going to die. (Leaks mentioned below).

First off, we have no clue what the monument is for. At all. But based on the information on it, we know that it's dedicated to the fallen soldiers of both Natlan and clearly Khaenri'ah, given that it has the nation's symbol on it and the statement of "Children of Pride, sing your final song". Khaenri'ah was called the pride of humanity, and the second part is rather obvious. It depicts six Saurians, Capitano, and a soldier (who we can presume to be Gunthred, or just a general representation).

Either way, thinking realistically on lore history and motivation. Yes, the Captain is on this memorial. No, not because he will die, but because he was involved in the conflict and it was his platoon that passed away; He's the only one alive to remember them anymore. If it were dedicated to Capitano passing, I'd like to point out that it would make no sense to not include the Fatui soldiers that would pass along with him, nor the Traveler. I saw some people questioning why he's clearly dressed the same on the mural as his present in-game style, and I'd like to point out a few things: First off, he's clearly trying very hard to avoid being recognized. Second, the memorial is very basic in design and the only unique features on him are the gauntlet and helmet, both of which likely came from Khaenri'ah in the first place and are of Khaenri'an design (and I don't see how it wouldn't make sense that he kept a piece of his history this long, nevermind the fact that I doubt the Fatui would be able to replicate Khaenri'an military gear to begin with). As for motivation to put this up? Capitano stated pretty clearly that he loves Natlan and treasures it, for obvious reason, and we're all aware of how much he values honor and respect. Having the opportunity to put up a memorial for his fallen comrades isn't out of character.

Last chunk here, can we just think about his importance lore-wise? Being blunt here and glazing a little, probably, but this is the FIRST Harbringer. He's a Khaenri'an survivor, a gentleman, military figure, and on good terms with the traveler and an Archon. Let's be real for a moment. In the case they kill him off at any point in the story, it clearly won't be permanently; the scenario in that case would be a self sacrifice to pay a debt or save someone he cares for and either way it would result in him being revived. That's likely how we'll be getting a face reveal to begin with, they're obviously going to find a way to cleanse the rot away first (unfortunately). Character importance aside, and turning to leaks, he has a playable sword model. He has the square character icon and card, alongside the circular icon. There's character lines about him. There's empty spots in the Natlan lineup roster. For God's sake, he was in the Naltan trailer, and it's a fact that Hoyo puts playable characters in their trailers in every single nation.

So please, let's take a breath.

The fact that they're making us wait to see his face until likely near the end of the AQ is possibly the worst form of edging ever, actually. How could you do this to me

I always see people talking about how Capitano would be possessive and territorial with his lover, but I also feel like he would be very methodical with it.

I feel like if someone were to get a little too close and friendly with his lover at an event or out in public he wouldn't intervene immediately; not out of lack of care, but because it's more rewarding to see how deep the perpetrator can dig their own grave.

His lover would be aware of this, of course, it would come from a mutual understanding that both almost seem to play into. Every word, every glance, every little touch and caress from the perpetrator would give him more reason to make the consequences he deals all the more horrific. And as the event winds down, the perpetrator riding high on their own advances, he would make sure they'd never make the same mistake again.

Capitano just gives off the biggest Spouse Guy energy ever, like, major sap style Spouse Guy.

Constantly calling his partner "wife"/"husband" just for the sake of it. Blurting it out at random and mumbling it softly while they lay tangled in each other's arms as if saying it out loud confirms it to him. Saying it to try to catch their attention when they're busy because he can't bring himself to interrupt directly. Following them around like a puppy when he has nothing better to do, keeping them close no matter the scenario because he will find every little way possible to show off his Beloved even if it's just by keeping an arm around their waist. Just totally head over heels.

Dragging my feet with shame as I make another sideblog because I simply cannot talk about how badly i need Capitano to slam my head into a wall and choke me on his cock on my main.
