OMG intersex Moonpaw with a cleft lip???
I just used it as an example because cleft lips and palates are a really good example of the quirks of bilateral symmetry, BUT I do actually have a cleft lip in BB LMAO
It's Lizardstripe because she got a glow up in BB, is one of the smartest and most competent background characters in the rewrite, and has an expanded friendship with both Bluestar and Yellowfang. I gave her a cleft lip because unironically it is such a cool feature and it deserves a million examples of positivity.
Her son Deerfoot also got it, he also got a glowup as a TigerClan rebel.
I should give it to more cats honestly... and more lip features in general. I love you people whose lips naturally curl above the teeth. I love you people with cleft lips, both severe and minor. I love you people who have had mouth surgery and have visible scars.

i recently went to the actual WH website, saw the cannon Barnaby after months of tumblr brainwashing *cough cough more realistic barn cough* and was taken aback, like i had to look at him for a few seconds. I choose to blame you and that Weevmo feller' for this
you. you haven't. you haven't looked at the actual website? you haven't looked at The Actual Project? i. im.
respectfully,
What.

despite the overseer being like a disembodied voice for the genshin characters i cant help but always see the overseer as the pet seelies. lmao maybe they’re like physical puppets for them so they can properly interact with the world
That is just. Absolutely adorable. I love it omg-
The traveler hanging around with TWO small flying companions, one on each side (it's like the devil and the angel on each shoulder - it's up to you to decide which of them you'll be, maybe you switch depending on the situation?).
While the characters themselves fill this role as Vessels, having an extra puppet to interact with the world would definitely have its advantages - especially if it's one as adorable and squishy-looking as those pet seelies. The affection possibilities have increased a LOT.
Even better if the seelie manifestation worked kinda like a mood ring. Like, their neutral state is your favorite color, but it responds to your emotions, shifting hues as your mood shifts. Lore-wise I can see the seelie showing up primarily during cutscenes - the Traveler is doing their thing, which means that you are no longer the main "pilot" of the body, so you definitely need somewhere to pour all that energy. That's where the seelie pet comes in! That, and in any moment where you disagree with the actions the characters take - I feel like Vessels who are more in-tune with you wouldn't see the seelie that often (except for the Traveler), since they can grasp your intentions pretty easily, but those who are a little more distant (either by personal disagreements or by simply having a low friendship level) will have the seelie show up often, since you can't rely on using only them to interact properly.
Oh, and I do intend to have some isekai'd!Overseer at some point - so don't worry, there will be plenty of in-person time with the characters and the world...

guys cmon. be ffr please. akemi did Not love taigen. the only reason why she was desperate to search for him to the point of putting herself in danger is because she didn't want to get married to an abusive man (which she believed at the time that takayoshi was). when seki tried to dissuade her from running off, her reason was not "but i love taigen and wanna be with him 🥺" it was because she refused to be controlled and have her autonomy taken from her; she literally says "i won't be locked away in edo married to a stranger." and when seki still tries to argue that getting married to the heir of the shogun would be better than getting caught by brigands, she then says "that kind of man"—referring to takayoshi—"treats women like animals. they say he's a tyrant." and when seki chuckles and says "what man isn't?" her response is "you." she doesn't even talk about taigen. she is using him as much as he was using her. they both see—or, well, saw—each other as means to an end. for taigen he saw that marrying into the tokunobu clan would elevate his status and wealth. for akemi she wanted the right to choose who she married, and she wanted that person to be someone kind. that's it! neither of them loved each other. but since they were courting of course they acted sweet to each other, and they do still care for one another, especially due to their romantic history. but let's be real! akemi is a boss bitch who dropped taigen and forgot all about his ass as soon as she saw takayoshi was a nice guy. because duh? not only is takayoshi a better lover (it's implied their lovemaking lasted a long time) but he's also kinder towards her and presents her with an opportunity to claim power and freedom, which she would not have if she had married taigen, as she would have still been stuck under her father's thumb. so literally why should she settle for taigen's stupid ass! she may be a little naive at times but she's still incredibly intelligent. she would not do something stupid for the sake of "love." you know who would though? taigen.
