NAHIDA HAS NO REASON TO BE WHITE. heres WHY

the reason why i'm making this post is because i am SICK and TIRED of seeing OTHER PEOPLE fight for MY CULTURE in the most INCORRECT WAY POSSIBLE. "nahida rcta queen!", "why are you blackwashing her?", "she switched teams!" all these comments and more under artists' posts that decided to give her melanin.

artists are just giving back her melanin as she is based off a culture with people who have dark skin. this is not racist. this is literally the opposite. i understand if a character already has an established skin colour that's apart of their character (ex. ei or zhongli) though with nahida this makes no sense.

i am indian, do NOT come after me. sumeru is based off of MY culture. i know what i'm talking about. a good 70% of sumeru is based off hindu culture, it's based off south asia.

more of my yapping:

you all need to shut the hell up about saraswati and how nahida is based off saraswati because saraswati's description is saying "shes as white as the moon" and nahida is white. you ALL need to BE QUIET ABOUT THAT.

this is saraswati, for reference:

saraswati is not ever mentioned in genshin impact. NOT ONCE. but, the aranara call rukkhadevata queen aranyani. aranyani is a very obscure hindu god known for taking care of the forest and dancing n stuff

THIS IS WHAT NAHIDA AND RUKKHADEVATA ARE BASED OFF OF. NOT SARASWATI. the only thing that saraswati and nahida (+ rukkha) have in-common is that other than being white and based off a hindu goddess

saraswati isn't even white, the pale as the moon thing refers to a godly glow. so even IF nahida and rukkha are based off saraswati, hoyo does NOT HAVE ANY REASON TO MAKE THEM WHITE SINCE SHE ISNT EVEN WHITE. she has a GODLY GLOW.

literally the only excuse nahida has for being that pale is that she's the avatar of irminsul (a white tree) HOWEVER. they didn't need to make her THAT pale. if they wanted to make her pale skin they should've added more colors like pinks and purples and blues like the actual irminsul

as you can VERY CLEARLY see, they did not do that. they did not even try to take this route.

everything could have been fine if they did take this route or make her eyelashes white and say she's albino if they really wanted her to be white. but they didn't.

indians can be pale, YES. but they aren't this paper caca toothpaste looking ass WHITE like how nahida is. REPRESENTATION FOR SKIN COLOUR MATTERS TOO. ITS NOT JUST THE CULTURE THEY'RE BASED OFF OF.

anyway thanks for coming to my yapping session. i love talking about my culture 👍 desi nahida layouts are here if you want to see :)

[genshinfamdynamics]

What if the Knights had a party or something and they all dressed up in pretty clothes and Kaeya and Albedo danced together

They should let me write an event I promise I wouldn’t use it as a Kaebedo event, not even a little bit (I am lying)

Ramble post about their outfits coming soon

︵︵ kaveh headcanons ✧

edit by lavender - headcanons by locket

He's Pakistani/Persian

He has a jewelry collection that he takes care of with his heart and soul

He wears mehndi (henna) all the time

He uses mehndi to write sometimes when he runs out of ink and when he's really desperate to finish his work

He goes out with Faruzan to the plaza and helps Faruzan pick out really fancy Saris (Faruzan never wears them again)

LIVE LAUGH LOVES Rooh Afza. He drinks it whenever he's cleaning up the house because it's nice and cold + Sumeru is pretty hot, so he has to keep cool somehow

Hates lizards.

[drawmeasong07sblog]

So hi. My other account @mayasshitposts posted about a McDonald's Jing Yuan character ai bot i had created, which a bunch of y'all seemed to like

On today's shenanigans, we have a desi kaeya bot!

He uses "Jaan" as a nickname, enjoys chai and can sing you a bollywood song.

Warning: he May be ooc with how cheesily romantic he can get.

[ryxmix]

desi kaeya is canon and if you don't agree with that you are wrong. i don't care if hoyoverse says it's not canon, they are wrong.

[kantyji]
