Fun fact: In Barbatos's intimacy storyline in Nightbringer he ends up living with Solomon and MC at Cocytus Hall temporarily. Here's a highlight from his 40 intimacy call:

The way he makes Solomon sit in the corner. 😭 You cannot convince me he didn't raise this man.

oh my fucking god i feel. SO stupid rn at How i didnt make the (super sane very normal just absolutely. Yes. Surely) connection earlier but uhh

so anyway im now like 89% certain that whatever the "traces" of the narwhal that remain on ajax and facilitate their (ever-growing) innate connection are like. an actually fundamental aspect of it (them?) more or less.

why? because if you consider its pov just for a moment. the narwhal was literally about to depart teyvat for good. it had nearly finished consuming the primordial sea and preparing to breach surface to finish the job by eating the french for the leftovers their human bodies were made from. its an interstellar voyager it does not linger on planets it devours. it goes glug glug and it leaves.

and like if it wasnt for traveler intervening its confirmed through narzissenkreuz and renes world formula that teyvat wouldve just been destroyed. no one could have stopped the narwhal not neuvillette not focalors not anyone.

so what was the one other thing it did right before going for that french brunch? calling for ajax. getting them reunited in the primordial sea. like all the possible implications aside bc theres many different ways to speculate on the exact reasons why and the nature of that link. the point remains.

it wasnt leaving teyvat without finding him.

like the narwhal is about to fucking Dip from this cringe planet and whatever part of it that ajax carries within himself his narwhal Absolutely wanted to be reunited with. what the fuck am i supposed to read from that. hoyo???????!??! answers?!?!?!

and its not only the calling from the narwhal side itself either bc this is ALL coinciding with the growth of a 'restless power' within ajax and his vision malfunctioning (the things celestia is literally confirmed to harvest energy thru to repair its damaged authority) and his connection with the narwhal reaching an actual conscious level (arguably subconscious n emotional too bc i find it Curious his mood is poor right as the narwhal is repeatedly described as positively malding to the point its boss fight mechanic is literally a rage meter). ajax' power is growing. his destiny is starting to shift and something is drawing him to fontaine... right as the narwhal is getting close to finished with the primordial sea. funny how it overlaps eh. how it aligns 🤨🤨 why are they orbiting each other like this (they should kiss)

(& not to even Mention how ajax just Happened to get that absolutely exponential and borderline unbelievable feat of power spike in extending his foul legacy endurance as massively as he did. while. within the primordial sea. with his narwhal. who had at that point all but incorporated the power of that sea into itself. i s2g if childe was getting passive home turf co-op bonus exp with a 4x multiplier automatically the whole 40+ days 💀💀)

The amount of anti-orca rhetoric on this site is astounding like don't you all realize you're trying to cancel an apex predator right. A literal animal. Compared to what humans have done to other animals they're docile. They're altruistic to humans. They're matriarchal and everything they do is taught and directed by the eldest female in the pod. Yes, including being ruthless to their prey. God forbid women do ANYTHING

Damn these are like the worst blueberries I have ever had they suck so bad

[birdmenmanga]

I should be sleeping but I can't stop thinking about maybe the seafloor was the dream all along. like the whole marine motif of the adams and eves obviously but most especially in conjunction with the finale where eishi tells takayama he doesn't want to lose his friend. like it's the same thing you know. a drastic reframing of the world, even though nothing has really changed except the way you perceive it. that maybe there is good in the world even if it's forcibly wrought from our own two hands instead of a blessing rained down upon us. and that perhaps that might be okay after all

finished death of the outsider honestly pretty good like definitely obviously a DLC for 2 that was just spun off into its own egregiously expensive game for no reason but i liked it a lot more than 2 as a first time experience.

i think the sheer budget and amount of shit in levels in 2 makes it a more enteraining product over a longer period of time but the writing in doto was better and the gameplay felt less like an exercise in making your own fun

the ending being almost literally nothing was definitely a let down but i think its impressive that it managed to build up enough of a narrative to be able to disappoint on that front to begin with. overall i liked it :)

you know the (reasonable) complaint abt tiktok that a ton of them don't need to be videos cause they're just text on someone's forehead? I feel that way abt memes like what is this

a single word remains and his facial expression doesn't relate to the text, it doesn't even look like he's saying it. the only aspect of this that works in the text itself is humorous, just have it be text or create/use an actually related image

I saw a "gotta be one of my favorite genders" where the gender was "found family in animated TV shows" that's multiple ppl!! that's a relationship dynamic/trope it is not a gender and the meme is left completely stripped of any aspect that makes it funny or even coherent like the title "happy international women's day" is gone leaving the image a photo collage of kids cartoon characters around a guy in front of a car with nonsense text on top, what does that convey? I've even seen a version where the meme itself is just a background image with new images covering up the guy leaving no part of the original intact and making the whole thing illegible

these are never even "surreal" they're just trendy topic mashed with trendy topic where the original is funnier than every subsequent varient if for no other reason than the original was actually a joke. maybe things can just stay jokes instead of becoming memes that get worn out faster than a college classroom dryer erase marker

I think genshins strongest point is the world design like it's just. So pretty. And the world quests are usually really cute and nice. And the boss monsters r really good to look at

in general I don't think abt representation too much but sumeru really rubbed me the wrong way which . very very very rarely happens
