here’s my take on the sumeru characters as an actual middle easterner
so to say the very least im not surprised. like at all. but very disappointed?? as a disclaimer, i personally am on the lighter side of the skin tone spectrum, but still pass as middle eastern. my family itself is varied, some of my relatives are darker or tanned, while others, like me, are lighter. on that note, having maybe a couple of light skinned characters would be ok, but having next to none at all for tanned characters from a region where many if not most people are going to be tanned is something i take issue with. while the game also has a grand total of two tanned playable characters as of now. yikes. i like the designs, i think they’re alright given who’s behind them. but id like them a lot more if the characters weren’t whitewashed??? like?? so you’re going to name them and clothe them in their cultures but make them pasty?? yeah yeah ok. some people have said it better than me, so my opinions are pretty messily laid out, but yeah!!! what the fuck!!! it’s giving very much aladdin. it’s giving you didn’t give enough of a shit about anyones culture so you mashed it all together and then didn’t care enough to make your characters look the part beyond their outfits. but you could put in the effort to be culturally accurate when it came to cultures like chinese, japanese, and german? or, you know to put it bluntly, cultures where most people tend to be lighter skinned. yeah. you did so well representing them, wb us? hm?

Why do I still expect something creative and fun from hoyoverse at this point .... Just why. You know the theory that Snezhnaya might be destroyed when we actually get there might be a blessing in disguise

Y’all. I don’t think Kaeya was actually left as a spy. I don’t.
It makes less and less sense the more lore we learn. I mean. Kaeya clearly seems to think he was left as a spy, but. I also think Kaeya was something like 8-12 years old, and traumatized, and therefore not exactly in the best place to understand Dad’s fucking dramatic little speech before Dad straight up abandoned him in a strange land.
I think he’s the last hope because he’s alive.
He’s so fucking important just because he’s himself— the abyss twin, the order, Dain, no one knows he exists.
Khaenri’ah fell. It has no need of spies. It just needs Kaeya to live.
