reblog and boop whoever you reblogged this from!

honestly i'm probably gaslighting myself and there may be lores/texts that disproves this, but the fact that zhongli and neuvillette has so many parallels, how zhongli is avoiding neuvillette constantly, how zhongli isn't given the spotlight on the literal year of the dragon, and hyv's tendencies to fuck around and drop 'misleading' hints (i.e. we're made to believe that zhongli is avoiding neuvillette because the latter wants to 'judge' him in that voiceline).... it all makes me feel like they're doing all of it because don't want to expose zhongli as the geo dragon sovereign.

listen. i say they don't want to expose zhongli's dragon form up close in detail for too long in-game because they know we'll catch onto something. and wouldn't it be crazy if this is yet another parallel, but in reverse? wherein neuvillette had only half of his power but gained it completely after he received the gnosis, while zhongli had his full power from the start and then later it's 'taken away' because he chose to give the gnosis to tsaritsa? plus, if the tsaritsa is planning to do anything with the gnosis ー for example, destroying it in the process of using it to overthrow heavenly principles/celestia, in any case the power will return to him anyway. like, come on. man has lived for 6k+ years. he's mischievous behind that elegant facade. it's a win win situation for him either way. man is gonna say 'get bamboozled bitches' at the end of the game i just know it /j /silly

Cyrus and Cynthia's dynamic in a nutshell

(initially made and finished this back in 2021 when BDSP was announced but never got around to posting it because i'm stupid and lazy etc. I also feel like this has been done before but whatever lol.)

2 am draft

ya'll see this guy? yeah he's me wife, other than can we take a moment to appreciate this mf?, like from all 'yandere'( if that's what you call the genre lmao) visual novels I played Mushroom Oasis really played diff, like..hello? it doesn't follow the classic stalker/creep/obsess with you vibe of any other love interests in games, in fact Mycheal doesn't even know you existed till he found you, yeah he doesn't want you to leave but it's kinda understandable? I think I remember the creator saying Mycheal doesn't have that much romantic attraction to the MC just yet??(also he's canonically asexual! :D yey) , cause this mf has been living by himself for what? years? decades? who knows, so obviously he'll react that way, obviously you can't just set aside all the fucked up things he's been doing to the MC, but that's the thing, he has his own reasons as I mentioned, he's still like the other love interests in games ( forcing the MC to stay/be with them etc.), he doesn't ant you to leave him since your the only person who doesn't see him as a 'monster' or said he's one. and what I like the most is his backstory, it's still all a mystery and complex, so is how his body works since he's not human.

Let's go one-sided Radiostatic / Radiosilence rant

Ended up writing a fic abt this 🙏

Okay, as much as I love the whole 'Vox screwed up the entire friendship with Alastor by confessing and Al just left without a second thought and haha funny Vox is a sad wet cat of a simp' stuff I really think there's a lot of potential being missed out on there.

Like I don't think Alastor would have just coldly left and detached completely - at least not at first.

I wanna see Alastor realising that he had gotten SO close to Vox that Vox had fallen in love with him and him being mortified that he'd allowed himself to get that close to someone + allowed someone else to get that close to him.

I want Alastor struggling and horrified because when radiosilence echoed, he was also caught in it, feeling the loss of a good friend even if he was repulsed by Vox's feelings for him.

So much of it is just how Vox reacted, and as much as I love that, I ALSO wanna see how ALASTOR reacted for once. And not the 'haha, whatever' surface level thing (although I do definitely think that is how he certainly would play it off), him dealing with the loss behind that facquade.

I genuinely refuse to believe that there was nothing there that ached for bro, Alastor may be a psychopathic trait coded nutjob, but they still can form attachment and shit like that despite it (even if it's different to typical attachment).

Also, people refuse to focus on Alastor's obsession with Vox back. Like, I'm sure his ass would be gutted if Vox lost his obsession with him or acted completely cool and uncaring.

He's just as obsessed with Vox as he is with him, and I refuse to believe otherwise 💀

Seeing awful takes about Arya is even wilder knowing that people would lose their minds if we said the same things about their fave. Can you imagine if we were genuinely theorizing that Sansa's story ended with her dying, warging into a bird, and becoming a pet for one of her siblings? They would have a fit and call us all kinds of misogynistic, but they'll never explain why their logic is suddenly wrong when it's used for anyone except Arya

[starsandthorn]

no but actually. the parallels to other Twins in different nations of teyvat in relation to the traveler and their desire to reunite with their own sibling makes me a little bit bonkers. like.

diluc and kaeya as what the traveler has and fears, after we will be reunited [separation born from conflict that seemingly cannot be mended; they both care for each other but ultimately their opposing ideals mean they cannot be at each other's side in the same way that they used to, and no longer have the close bond they once did]

ei and makoto as what the abyss sibling experienced [a crushing loss not just of one's twin but the last remaining friend they had and the safety and security of their nation, coming out the other side traumatized, cold and jaded and making decisions that will ultimately hurt the people they claim to want to protect for the sake of an unattainable goal]

and lyney and lynette as what the traveler and the abyss twin used to have before they were separated [never apart for long, home is wherever we are together], what the traveler wants [their separation brief and quickly amended, continuing to be inseparable after they reunite], and also the choice they'll have to make [the twins being together in an organization the traveler inherently doesn't trust - does the traveler want to be by their sibling's side badly enough to throw their lot in with the abyss, and turn their back on everyone else they've met on their journey so far?]

How baby is Baby Barok?

(aka I saw this post and took some time to make some silly guesstimated height calculations.)

tl;dr: In that one official art with Klint, eleven year-old Barok measures an adorable height of about 107.5cm (3"6', according to a converter) which is more than 10cm (3.9in) smaller than ten year-old Iris (canon height: 120cm, or 3"11').

How did I get there?

1. Barok's canon height is 192cm (6"4'). Pretty damn tall (and probably too tall for his era, you can find some interesting and entertaining re-calculations in this post), and officially confirmed.

2. To estimate Klint's height, I aligned Barok's face in the photograph (still so happy and innocent, sigh...) with that of his full body art and tried my best to determine where Klint's head might end, his pose isn't all too convenient.

3. Having determined Klint's height to be about 196cm (6"5'), I could scale the artwork featuring him and his tiny baby brother to fit to Klint's height. Barok (baby) is not fully standing on the 0cm line though, so I drew a line at his feet and at his head, guessing where it might end under all that floofy hair...

4. ...set that to the 0cm line et voilà! The little darling of the Van Zieks family is about 107.5cm (3"6') tall!

this may be controversial but maybe the "astarion and halsin are SO sexually traumatised that you should literally cut your own dick off before thinking abt them romantically you disgusting freaks" goon squad should consider the ramifications of essentially insisting assault survivors be permanently excluded from any kind of sex and romance bc they are too broken and stupid to be trusted to know their own desires and boundaries or have the capacity to want to explore/push them.

you know real survivors (not pixel men but real ppl like me!) can read that shit? do you think pushing the lie that encountering one (1) Genital Wielded With Intent will invariably cause us to crumble to a miserably weepy heap of dust and blow away in the breeze is appreciated or helpful? or implying the people that love or desire us are selfish at best and outright predators at worst?

i'm begging ppl to just be 2% normal about abuse survivors PLEASE. the characters aren't real but the attitude you drag from fandom back into the real world are.

[another-clive-blog]

Why are we as a fandom not talking more about this scene ??

Clive is literally asking the professor to come back and stop him. Like this isn't him pretending to be Future Luke : he looks genuinely upset/displeased even after the professor promises to come back. He only goes back to smiling after the professor says, and I quote "I wouldn't dream of leaving things here in that state" before talking about stopping his future self. Clive wants confirmation that Layton is actually going to confront the bad guys, that he won't just solve the mystery but fix it too.

And this is literally so important. Clive's speech at the end, about getting saved. This is concrete proof that he had truly meant it from the start, because he's asking for Layton to stop him and thus save everyone here. Which, hey- he didn't just hope and wait to get saved, he tried to save himself too.

Yep, that's right. The game talks about how dangerous it was for Clive to bring Layton underground : it doesn't talk about how even more dangerous it was to let him leave. He could have brought back cops (he did). He could have gathered precious knowledge out there (he did). He could have never come back (and yet he did !!). Clive letting Layton leave is the biggest threat to his plan, and yet HE DID. And you know what else he did ? Make Layton promise to stop him. You can't make a clearer call for help, you just can't.

"Oh but it doesn't make his crimes more forgivable, now does it-" of course not. This isn't about Clive's redemption, it's about Clive trying to avoid needing a redemption : his efforts are vain the moment he started using the fortress. But. There were efforts.

i will say is seeing people unironically go 'gale's arc is about how bad he is at communicating' is just the funniest fucking thing i have read in my entire life and i haven't laughed that much at something since the early access conspiracy theories

[write-it-motherfuckers]

Alright, I promised an update in the tags of the queued post a few days ago, so now that my internet is finally strong enough to let me create a new post from scratch, I'll actually do that.

Ultimately things ended up taking a really fucking weird turn again, and after speaking to the service company directly, we found out that the "service personnel" that had been here, weren't actually from their company despite toting their uniforms.

Unfortunately this isn't even the first time something like this has happened, so this information wasn't as hard to believe as you'd think. One of the nosy elderly men from down the street was even able to provide some photos he took of the "workers" and their van, which he had taken "just in case", which is a hell of a lot more than we could do last time.

On the positive end of things, the real service personnel showed up yesterday with just as foul an attitude as the fake ones had, and have apparently set to work undoing whatever was done to fuck up our internet access so badly. Though they have been significantly slowed by the presence of the police, who are treating the situation with about as much urgency as you would expect from someone being chased by a half blind snail, and really just seem to be enjoying getting in everyone's way.

All in all, shit's weird as per usual, but thankfully on the way to being fixed if my current internet status is anything to go by. (The real workers took one look at what had been done and just said "What the fuck!" which... isn't encouraging)

Either way, I wanted to thank you all so much for being so patient again Darling ones, I hope you can continue to bear with me for just a little bit longer 🖤

Stay safe Darlings 😘
