uuuugh.. ow2 self insert will probablyyyy be made soon enough/eventually/some day/maybe because there's too many characters I desperately want to kiss in this game
This is my small Lucky Stone collection. Lucky Stones the ear bones (otoliths) of sheephead fish (also known as freshwater drum). Theyre characterized by the "J" or "L" shaped groove in the corner. You find them washed up on the shores of the Great Lakes, these came from Lake Erie.
do you ever think about how ead and tané are parallels?
they’re both outcasts (ead in inys and tané because she’s an orphan/poor/doesn’t have dragon rider ancestry), they’re both brave and secretive and hardworking and skilled at fighting and they love people they shouldn’t (sabran for ead, susa for tané) and because of all that they clash. their positions are similar but opposite, ead as a sister of the priory and tané as a dragonrider.
and their arcs and connections to their loved ones are similar too!! initially, both their motivations come from their desire to be respected and gain a (higher) position in their respective organisations, but they come to understand what they had to do, their role in this war, and they fulfil them even as it costs them their respect and status and positions. sabran and nayimathun are causes for those losses, for that scorn and rejection by the people ead and tané wanted nothing more to impress and be a part of, but they are anchors for them as well, what they love the most in this world. sabran and nayimathun motivate ead and tané to do the right thing and support them through the hard times, give them hope when they need it most.
they’re so similar but the differences they do have illustrate the ones between the south/west and east, especially with relation to magic/dragons and the beliefs surrounding that.
im pretty adamant on being a genshin only blog atm bc this game has me in a death grip and won't let go for anything but at the same time.....path to nowhere..
