Ok, there was a post I never got to write so now I don't get to post a HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT update. But I want to write it anyway.
TMI, weird personal symbolism, etc.
There's a type I rather dramatically call "people of dark water" and it's usually women. Very rarely represented in media. Almost-tricksters with some kind of important personal truth if I try to boil it down to a sentence.
They usually have been wounded by something most people never notice (canary in the mine situation) or have the privilege never to encounter, and then made it into a strength somehow.
(watch me fall for someone like that every time)
I came up with the term when I learned that in Old Irish and in Proto-Indo-European there was a distinction between clear flowing water (danu) and dark deep water (dubros in PIE, dobur in Old Irish specifically). You can still see it in places' names across Europe (Danube, Dover, etc).
In part, Childe excites me so much because he's that. He's like all the women I've ever loved except that he's a guy.
There's also a Jim White's song Still Waters which is exactly about a person of that type if you look at the lyrics. The tone of the music doesn't match at all though. His still waters are Louisiana swamps, not sea or lake depths.
And I always wondered what would a character or an irl person of that type look like.
And when Aventurine came out I sort of nodded to myself and decided that yeah, that's it. He's that type. Nice to finally have an answer.
"Still Waters" became my Aventurine song.
So imagine my surprise when I used Aventurine's overworld skill and saw a "Still waters run deep" status appear.
*pauses for a moment of incoherent shouting*
A coincidence and something about archetypes, I know. It's a popular proverb, it fits him well and there's no way someone in Hoyo even listens to Jim White. Even Americans don't know him, he's a musicians' musician.
Also I'm not sure whether a similar phrase even exists in Chinese and maybe this parallel happens only in English translation.
Still, I feel like reality just glitched ot something of that sort.
Don't you know there are projects for the dead
And there are projects for the living
Though I must confess sometimes
I get confused by that distinction
And I just throw myself into the arms
Of that which would betray me.
I guess to see how far Providence
Will stoop down just to save me.

nothing else matters
pairing-bf jay x fem reader
warnings-food, both of you are in the changing room but not in a sexual way, not proofread
song-glue song by beabadoobee
you went for a shopping date with jay because hes a sweetheart and he tries to spoil you as much as possible
you went into your favorite store and tried on dozens of outfits, jay helping you zip the zipper, tie bows, fix straps, buckle buckles, button buttons, etc.
he adored the way you looked at your body in the mirror. the way you made sure it fit. if it didnt fit he would tell the workers to get you a different size, even if you said no.
if you didnt like the way your body fit in the outfit, he told you it looks beautiful on you and your body is beautiful the way it is (prolly bc it is)
after going to that store he bought you perfumes, purses, glasses/sunglasses, shoes, makeup, anything you wanted he would gladly buy you.
-"you want something to eat baby? ill pay"- he asked you trying to grab some bags out of your hands
-"hey, hey, hey! you bought it. the least i could do is hold my own bags!"- you said. yo felt bad for him buying everything AND offering to but food.
-"ok, ok. do you want something to eat or not?"- he asked knowing damn well and that he was going to take you, even if you said no.
-"havent you spent enough money on me already?"- you asked
-"i can never spend too much money on you baby"- he said and he meant it
-"how did i end up with such an amazing boyfriend?"- you asked, genuinely curious
-"mm i wonder the same thing. now lets go eat."- he said kissing your forehead
you reach the food court at the mall and set your bags down. you two ordered tteokbokki and ate while you were eating he asked you a question.
-"you having fun sweetheart?"- he asked while he looked at you stuff a few sticks of tteokbeokki on your mouth
-"mmhm"- you said trying not to open your mouth too much
-"im glad you are"- he said while he stared at you
nothing else matters, just us. you and me he thought to himself as he watched you clean your mouth.
an: im too soft for this asdfghjkkk. i had a little too much fun with this
