#just adding things and there

[reginrokkr]

Given the recent changes that my portrayal of Dain experimented, I thought it'd be a good idea to write a post about what is changing exactly and what concepts I'm leaving behind. These are related to a recent post I wrote (beware of leaks if you don't want to read those, this post won't contain any but it'll make references to that) for a better understanding of where I'm going. Before that, I will preface that there will be hardly any change in the manner I've been writing Dain until now save for a few things here and there that I'll be bolder about, given that I've always kept in the dark how he is by himself instead of what surrounds him and build him based on that. Furthermore, his connection with Irminsul will continue to be one of the main traits that I'm attributing to him, the difference being that he himself as a whole won't be necessarily gravitating towards it any longer. Without further ado, let's begin:

✧ One of the main portrayal points of this blog is that he's the younger sibling from the Gnostic Chorus. From here on, that concept will be scratched. Related to this, I established that Dain would see Aether as if it were himself having failed to protect his older sister (Asmoday in this case). This will cease existing as well. Moreover, I also mentioned that this is one of the reasons I don't ship Dain with any of the twins, but it's worth noting that even if this will stop being a thing to this blog, my stance on shipping him with any of them still stands.

✦ In regards to his origins, he's a human born during the Crimson Moon dynasty alongside his older brother Vedrfolnir. Given that there are being more and more Lovecraft references, I will continue to stick to the premise that those who are pure-blooded Khaenri'ahns aren't necessarily immortal (as they can still pass away due to violence or by exiting the chat of their lives to put it nicely, I will also add the prospect of falling to madness due to a characteristic I'll talk about in a future post —to have an idea, it's loosely connected to what was already mentioned in Sumeru about reaching levels of enlightenment through Irminsul—), but they are long-living in their right.

✧ More details related to this origins, his physical appearance can be described as that of the moon similarly as it is done with all of those who are related to the angels —this in honor to one of his distant ancestors— and his eyes stem from the other counterpart of his ancestors.

✦ Pure-blooded Khaenri'ahns are a special human race unrelated to Phanes' creation, but that of an angel and the being who their eyes take after. The freedom under which they've been both (one more than the other) is what allows them to be untainted by fate, unlike the rest of humans whose origins trace back to Phanes. Furthermore, they're more susceptible of finding truths of the world given their mystical characteristics that trace from the being from who they take their eyes after.

✧ It is due to this, through a consciousness transferral —and later on shared— as well as Irminsul's sentience and acceptance of his mind and soul that Dain comes to hold a connection with the tree. The more time that passes and learns, the closer he is to reach enlightenment and to find the answers behind this world, as well as extending his knowledge to the outside.

✦ Due to his special characteristics in addition to his intimate connection to Irminsul, Dain's blood is akin to Ley Line ichor. Moreover, he continues to withhold his healing and purifying capabilities both due to his link with the Axis Mundi and the reached potential stemming from the angel that contributed to the birth of this human race.

✧ By birth, every pure-blooded Khaenri'ahn has the potential of reaching the heights of their first ancestors. Rhinedottir would count as such example by gazing into the sin that is the origins of creation and being the most exalted figure of Khemia, as well as the creator of several abyss-linked monsters. Those who would be later known as the Five Sinners plus Dain (pillars in their own right of the kingdom) each had reached their manner of enlightenment and tapping into their potential.

✦ Dain's manifestation is that of a seraphim in particularly cruder battles what concern physical-wise (the 36 spectral swords he can summon taking the shape of wings and lunar flames filling in the skeleton-like appearance those swords give to his wings), which is majorly twisted into a more unsightly-looking angel post-curse and corruption. His potential by the side of the being that created the Khaenri'ahn race alongside the angel remains intact given their completely unrelated existence to Teyvat, and the same potential that is worked on over the centuries in terms of acquiring knowledge until he taps into a power from beyond.

✧ Given what was mentioned previously and the strong implications of Dain's deeds being relevant enough to cause a significant change to Teyvat by having access to reweaving all threads of fate, this portrayal will play with the possibility of him becoming the 5th Descender.

as a former escape room host i highly recommend doing an escape room as a first date. its a great way to learn how ppl react under pressure and how well they collaborate with you right off the bat. also more than once ive seen people enter an escape room as a couple and exit broken up LOL its a fantastic litmus test

[gibbearish]

btw last week on jp twitter they were goncharov-ing a detective conan movie into existence lmao

it all started because of this twitter user pointing out that the Osaka Expo 2025 venue looks like a setting out of a detco movie (x)

then someone fixed the color, added "original work by gosho aoyama", and voila (x)

and then people just kept adding on to it, here's a few more:

they got teaser art posters (1) (2) (3)

a movie logo (x)

and a movie poster ofc (x)

btw if you were wondering wtf that weird blob creature is, it's Osaka Expo 2025's mascot:

oh yeah someone also made a whole ass movie trailer (x)

and end credits too but i can't upload 2 videos so here's the link (x)

someone even made an agasa quiz lmao (x)

someone also brainrotted so hard they managed to gather hattori, kaitou kid, amuro, and akai all in one movie (x)

anyway, we've cracked the code. we can explode any place just by adding "original work by gosho aoyama" (x) (x)

you really need to raise your standards for what's considered "a phrase" because if it only makes sense in the specific context of the post it was originally found in and it isn't repeatable in other situations, that's not a phrase that has entered the lexicon, that's just something someone said one time.

i started this thing last week i need all the posts i can handle

What doesn't alter your vocabulary may alter, or may have already altered, someone else's. This is not about adding to The General Lexicon - I have an entire tag for things that change this site as a whole, which has a higher bar; this is largely about novelty and humor. This is us curb-stomping whatever the fuck we want into the right form for our needs, whatever those needs may be, including altering aspects of the phrase to fit the necessary format or context. It's a linguistic shotgun.

its my fuckin blog bitch ill shit where i want

since Eng is getting 7.5 soon(?), I felt motivated to go back to my Meleanor rig and make her a couple of lesson animations! ...except for alchemy, because the cauldron bubbles proved too hard to photoshop around, whoops.

maybe she just got lost on her way to the classroom...?

(credit: backgrounds are from the game, I just put her on top of 'em)

(aside from the backgrounds, this is not an edit, I drew her from scratch! please do not tag or treat as an edit!)

y'know every time i feel guilty about bothering someone by singing along when i'm listening to music, i just remember that i have to tolerate my dirtbag brother screaming at his ps5 for hours every day so listening to muffled off-key fall out boy is probably preferable

You use "arospec people can still date and feel romantic attraction " as an excuse to ship cannon aro characters , I use it as justification to headcannon characters who canonically feel romantic attraction as arospec , we are not the same
