#but also it's a theme in the quest

[cor-lapis]

I know it's not super one-for-one, but does anyone else think that the fortress of meropide's design is meant to reference the Panopticon? Especially considering the map description of Wriothesley's office:

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?]

either the dragon theme from BotW was written Like That bc they knew what they would do with the dragons in TotK, or the composer read the script for TotK and let out the biggest evil cackle in the world. either way I am suffering

[es-quest]

I would like to stay in the peaceful forest, but that’s not an option is it…

Stay strong, Amane

"..." Eventually, you leave the scene. Your back in town.

You keep your head down as you walk, keeping your eyes firmly planted on the ground.

"Did you hear?" Someone whispers near you. "Did you hear the news?" Someone else responds.

"The Momose's child has been summoned by God!"

You try not to shake, if you don't look they aren't there.

I'll give a part of me to save you

He likes to scavenge for drugs during the night. He’ll eat a few plots of menticide straight out of the ground at 2 in the morning if you leave him.

hence why he's a raccoon of an ant that digs around in my farms at night. little freak of a man. love him.

It's over for me...

[thebowcollector]

thinking about revachol and how the city was personified, asking the amnesic protag who had been so horrible and toxic to be vigilant and protect her. I don't know about you but god it made me feel so small and helpless after learning about revachol's history and hear her say that to me. this grand and war worn city is asking me, a heck of a human who caused so much grievances to those around him, to shield her from a nuclear bomb. how can I do it? how is that possible? but when the city believes in you, you can't help but feel that maybe, just maybe anything is possible

i'm so in love with wrio. that man is the embodiment of mercy and compassion. he is so... human. despite the deep disdain for atrocious acts that hurt others, especially acts that remind him of his own pain and traumas, he is able to keep himself in check and hold on to his values. despite being so proactive in fixing the wrongdoings of people that actively harm those under his care and assuring that everyone is supported in the best way possible; despite knowing he could have not controlled other people's hearts once they were in too deep in their own sins, he still feels helpless and incompetent. he recognises he cannot fully empathise with those who have been hurt for he has not experienced what they have and he understands that some wounds might not be able to heal even with all the attention and efforts, or at least not that easily. and it pains him. his whole life he's been trying to protect others. all his hard work during his time at the fortress and taking over it's administration has granted him the power and resources to actually change lives in a more restorative way, with a bigger amplitude than just the people who he's close to. yet he's only human. and not everyone wishes to be saved. and he doesn't hold back from breaking his own rules if means he is guaranteeing the best outcome for the greater good, for the well being of all of those he's sworn to protect. and although he earned himself a respectable title and even got used to being referred to in that way, he doesn't see people at the fortress as innmates but as equals. he never stopped being the little boy that was sentenced to live over a decade of his life there. and he is so good at what he does and he is so successful at restoring people's hopes in life, at giving them a second chance to become who they want to be, that there's people who actually want to stay there. he is the literal personification of turning your own pain into goodness, into love. love for community and love for others. he found meaning in making the world a better place and i just think that's really fucking beautiful.
