actually i want to talk about my fic to cradle your heart for a moment because !!! there is a very significant importance about the ending of it, when venti was blinded.

one.) is that he notes his friend leaving first—venti was fully, one hundred percent, half-assing this fight. he could have finished that fight as quickly as it started, but what would that have done? what message would that send? his friend knows he is going against a god, one that used to be his friend, one that he is scrambled to keep hating. and the god the bard knew before Loomed, venti wants to be on the same leveling with the bard. venti is more so focused on the bard’s well being than his own at this point—besides, anything will simply regenerate itself, so there is not much to worry about anyway! (and. well. how that worked out.)

two.) the braids being cut off? that was a calculated move on the bard’s part. such an important and integral part of both their designs, this was bard’s attempts at rejecting venti’s gentle words and offerings. this was him saying, “there will only be one of us to do this, and it will not be you.” this was him lighting and adding to the fire to burn the bridge between them.

#there is also significance in where the bard HAD struck #at the cape. the chest. the thigh #where his wings sprout from in archon form and where his tattoos lay #the one to his wrist was a move made in frustration—the bard aims again for the area around his throat after #i ALSO wanted to get across that even though this was half asses from vens point—the fact that bard could keep up at ALL was impressive #he planned an overthrow !!! he will not win. but he will not go down without hits of his own weakening his opponent #i tried to get that across with him being a bit attuned to the anemo—such as the Near hit to when ven teleported himself behind the bars #the swinging in between the small gaps of teal #that bard 🫵 the wind is fond of #even still ….#anyways uh 🙏 got brainrot and wanted to infodump about . my own fic 😭#“why did ven not teleport out in time #for the blade” his friend !!! crying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he was got off guard. let the wall down for a moment #by the time the bard had the sword up to swing ven was still looking at the tears #bard vc why do you love me so much …. stop this immediately #<- feeling horrendous amounts of mixed guilt and sadness and Anger and despair woo hooo !!!!#lantern says stuff #wow there’s a lot of typos in tags. it is 1am sorry
