@rosekillermicrofic, July 10th - Better, G, Word Count - 325

Evan and Barty were laying in each other's arms on Barty's bed when Regulus stormed into their dorm room. He headed straight to his bed and pulled out his journal. It wasn’t long before the sound of frantic scribbling was heard. Barty and Evan looked to each other. Potter.

"Just admit it Regulus."

"Yeah mate. It's obvious."

Regulus groans and falls back on to his mattress. "I do not have a crush on Potter!" He scoffs before continuing writing.

Both Evan and Barty exchange glances again. Regulus' crush on James Potter was obvious to them. First, he had been mentioning the boy more often. Little comments from across the hall. There he goes again, stupid Potter following my brother like a dog, and they noticed he had been staring at the boy more often. He nearly cost his team the match recently.

Evan turns to Regulus, "Do you remember when me and Evan weren't together?"

Fed up with their constant interruptions, Regulus snaps his journal closed and looks over to the two of them from across the room. "Yes. Evan. I do remember how absolutely stupid you two looked, pretending that you were not in love. Even though you would constantly get jealous over any other person who came into this dorm and got mad when Barty kissed me on a dare."

Nodding, Evan starts to make his point, "Okay, so take that and compare it to how James had ran off when he found you and Remus together in the library. Or how he actually shuts up when you tell him to."

The blond boy knew two idiots in love when he saw it. Him and Barty were prime examples of this. The only reason they actually got together was after Regulus had slipped veritaserum into their drinks then locked the dorm for a few hours.

Regulus seemed to contemplate his words for a moment. "Fine. But you two better be right about this."

I should dearly love that the world should be ever so little better for my presence. Even on this small stage we have our two sides, and something might be done by throwing all one’s weight on the scale of breadth, tolerance, charity, temperance, peace, and kindliness to man and beast. We can’t all strike very big blows, and even the little ones count for something.

Full Analysis of the Natlan Cast

Okay I'm wide awake now and have rewatched the trailer a few times. I also luckily found people confirming where and who everyone is based on so let's get into it. Please tell me if any terms I use are offensive I don't know the preferences for certain things.

Mualani: So she's supposed to be Hawaiian. The trailer made her so much lighter for some reason. Her drip art was more like that teaser from the 4.8 stream but like.....the inconsistencies are questionable.

Kachina: She's meant to be based on a spirit from a Pueblo religion. She also got lightened in the trailer and her art. I think it's been said she also shares the name of said spirit. Uhm.....here's to hoping that she at least gets that teaser tone because its better than what we just got man.

Kinich: Named after a Mayan sun god? I have to wonder what all the 8-bit and pixels stuff with him is about but hopefully I'll find out soon. He was also a victim of getting lightened by the trailer and drip art. Please at least give him the teaser skin tone if you're gonna make him white hoyoverse....

Citlali: So her name is a feminine(I promise I'm not trying to be offensive because I've heard Aztec is the wrong term but if it isn't please correct me I'm struggling to find the right terms) Nahua name meaning star. She also needs some colour. Not much to say on her.

Xilonen: Named after a Nahua goddess. She's close but still needs to be darker.

Chasca: I have words. Maybe the pyro archon wasn't the redheaded conquistador after all because what the HELL. Anyways her name is of Inca(once again tell me if this is offensive) origin. She's supposedly indigenous I'm just.....she looks like a conquistador just a smidge okay? I hope there's a not offensive reason for this.

Mavuika: She's supposedly the coloniser archon. Her name seems to be inspired by the name Mahuika who is a Maori fire diety. She definitely looks outta place like a coloniser would.

Olorun: His name is Olorun. Not Ororon. He's supposed to be based on a Yoruba God. Meaning he should be way darker. Because Nigeria. I'm very upset about this one I can't lie. He doesn't look like in any way similar to any depictions of Olorun. The announcements are wrong on his name in only English which is uncomfortable but that's not this conversation.

Iansan: I. What can I even say dude. She was there for barely a second and got hit in the head. Not a single voice line. She's still on the grey side of brown. The character who was the literal mascot for this nation was barely there for what reason.

Okay so my thoughts on this as a whole? Clusterfuck. Flat out clusterfuck. So we have a bunch of tribes and religions getting names stolen then not represented. Whitewashed dieties are such a weird thing to put into a game. Like this should be one of the most diverse regions and....this. That doesn't even touch on the fact that these different places of inspiration are so scattered???? Like dude what? Iansan is our darkest character and she's there for less than a second only getting hit in the head then running. Like that was our mascot for here. We saw more of this woman that looks like Sunset Shimmer in a Bayonetta suit and a Fatui Harbinger than our mascot. That's so upsetting. And these characters were obviously designed with darker tones in mind. You can see it when people give them their proper tone that yea this is not nearly as good as it could be. The only element of interest is this nation being in a tournament arc but at this point it may as well be them trying to call these people violent.
