Id love to see you draw Rem!!!

[asmimir]

I couldn't draw atm bc of school so have yet more old doodles involving some bishop shenanigans- This server is gonna be the death of me hehe

plus, a Nari design, Still have to make a proper one though (and definitely fix where the veil should go lmfao

I headcanonned (however you spell that) that Narinder never liked actually wearing the crown bc it made his head itch, a genius friend suggested a snake scarf- so I'll be going with that

Okay. Was anybody going to tell me they named Teela after an elephant or was I supposed to just read that in a deleted Donald F. Glut interview myself.

Junken-shi KARUNA[巡検使カルナー]: Inspection Tour Envoy Karuna

[mascula-sappho]

here's a love letter in the form of a poem to all the obscure dead languages out there and the people who love them.

here's for dying languages!

the bloodstains between the letters,

the rips in their vocab lists,

never to be sutured up.

Here's for old languages!

never to be heard by a native speaker again.

So.. first meeting + Kaveh x you? + First impressions? 😎💕

tee hee hi vi bby !! you're spoiling me with these selfship questions ilysm <333

OKAY SO...

kaveh and i are the typical she fell first he fell harder trope !! he was very well-liked and popular during our akademiya days and so i just crushed on him from afar bc we weren't part of the same darshan (i'm amurta and he's kshahrewar) and he had no clue who i was LMAO

i think our first meeting was smth super trivial that he probably forgot about and i squealed about forever. i dropped a pen in the halls while passing by and he picked it up and gave it back to me. at that moment i was internally screaming over him bc he was so pretty and up close and i didn't know what to do with myself :33 but he's just thinking he's being his regular polite self and forgets about it in the next ten mins <///3

that was technically our first meeting but it was very mediocre lmao !! we only meet again later after kaveh has graduated and i'm in my final few years bc at that point i meet him again through tighnari (who's an alumnus of my darshan). after that we just casually become acquaintances and eventually friends. at that point my impression of him is that he's changed a little since he was at school but he's still a big sweetheart. and his first impression of me is that i'm a nice person and a good listener i think??

he'll eventually remember the silly interactions we had in school but that's for another time lmao...

anyways ilysm vi !! every time you send in a selfship question i get so giddy and think about it for days :33 it's so much fun !!

pronunciation of names in English is always funny because it also doesn’t follow strict cultural rules. At this point I’m going to say the standard American pronunciation of Kamala is (I don’t know how to do actual pronunciation guides) is ‘Kuh-MAH-luh’, as opposed to the standard South Asian ‘Kum-ala’ (hope that got across)

this is funny because I’m a huge Matana Roberts fan, right? Huge. Every album since day 1 for a decade. I have boots. I have *favorite* boots. You remember that album she did with Tortoise? I remember that album she did with Tortoise.

anyway I always pronounced her first name ‘MAH-thuh-nuh’. And I remember taking my ex to the first time I saw her live and she said at the end when she was giving her work and piece’s explanation ‘by the way, my name isn’t Sanskrit, I’m sorry but it bugs me, it’s not ‘MAH-thuh-nuh’, it’s ‘Mah-TA-nuh’. I crawled into my seat. I Gregor Samsa’d. I died a little that day

i can't stand the fact that solas hates tea like first of all what a weak tasteless bitch. i simply can't respect a tea hater unfortunately. but also drinking tea fits his vibe so well so idgi. I used to work in a tea shop and I can confirm he'd 100% be that customer who is way too pretentious about his taiwanese oolongs. bro is an alishan drinker i can smell it on him. bro only drinks tea prepared gongfu style. i just know this about him.

Sumeru's world quests will never be matched, I'm afraid. Genuinely my favourite world quests out of everything else Genshin has written because Jeht's growth was so lovely to witness, the scenery of the desert is also so beautiful and the fact we are directly changing the environment? I love it. King Deshret and Nabu Malikata's lore is 100/10, the eternal oasis and the entirety of the Realm of Farakhkert are visually so stunning? And the sandstorm in the Desert of Hadramaveth is so intimidating to look at in such a good way. But back to the world quests, seeing Jeht say goodbye to her parents in the eternal oasis and then after the Tanit's betrayal when we are taking a walk with her? Some of my favourite moments istg. On the other hand, the Khvarena of Good and Evil is a masterpiece, so many of the terms and stories and names are things I've grown up with and seeing them in the game made me so happy? To see all the Zoroastrianism references when it's a religion that is dying in its own country made me so unbelievably happy, not to mention the exploration of the area was 10/10 and I still spend most of my time there even if I have it all at 100%. Nilou, too, was one of my all time favorite characters for one reason only: her dancing in front of the Akademiya when it's illegal is such a huge parallel to the iranian women that dance in the streets of Iran in retaliation to the oppression they face

Anyways, while Genshin's character designs and skin diversity could have been so, so so much better, there's no denying the sheer amount of research that went into the environment and the world quests.
