I also think the eggs having this much sense of self and acting like kids forming relationships that sort of thing was not something the fed planned and was firmly the Islanders doing like they could have just taken them in as what they originally where am event to be rewarded at the end but instead they said no these are our kids and so that's what the eggs became not experiments or an event that can be over in a couple weeks but kids with emotions and personalities all their own and I think the feds didn't expect that and doesn't really understand it

when you create a character and want to give them a nickname, it might sound ideal to call them something cute or cool like nightshade or candy or other stuff, but i think its inherently more realistic and way more funnier if you have in mind that most of the times nicknames come from other people, like your friends or family, and they can be straight up violating
from what ive gathered throughout the years of living amongst people, there are a few "nickname categories", and they are as follows:
your surname has a somehow funny word in it and its now your nickname for forever
youve had a misfortune of reminding someone of some fictional character and now you are called by that characters name
actually, youve had a misfortune of reminding someone of anything, be it a plant or an animal or an inanimated object, and it is now your nickname
youve misspelled/mispronounced a word and everyone collectively agreed that its how they will call you from now on
(the last one is personal bc i legit didnt know how "auchan" is pronounced and i said it wrong in front of my friends (rookie mistake). ive been auchan (the mispronounced way) for a long, long time)
obviously do what you want with your characters, but i highly encourage the funny nicknames. they can add so much to the oc, both in the dynamic they have with their friends/family, and also in terms of a backstory for them

guys genuinely i’m both excited and terrified the dhmis pilot will be shown in full again because . first off, never before seen (by me) content, and we don’t get that a lot in the dhmis fandom. possibly new characters, dialogue, etc!! second, THE CREATORS DONT EVEN LIKE IT AND HID IT FROM THE PUBLIC AFTER IT WAS SEEN ONCE WHAT IS IN ITTT😭

i think frieren is a really good example of a character who is nearly eternally young. because you can tell she's mature and wise, and somehow paradoxically naive and sheltered. but the two aspects of her dont contradict, only compliment each other in her narrative. she knows about the world, she's seen it all, she's generally emotionally secure. and yet... there are still new experiences. it's not that she's never felt grief, but never grappled with it in the way she is now- its new and she hasn't figured out her feelings. in that way she reflects the emotional maturity of a teenager, making it seem as though the story is coming-of-age when it really isnt. she's already done that. but she's also not done doing that, for her, its a much longer process than it would be to humans. her inability to really understand others, and to some degree, herself, contrast her outward maturity. and its not like its a facade, she actually is a very calm and understanding person, "knowing" others is what shes still learning. and maybe the point is that you never really stop.

I feel like it's been 80 years since the last Codebreakers interaction. Someone put that bird in the resistance so they can be nerds and go on missions together

Ok I can't keep it in my drafts this time. enlighten me if you want; why do people think Diluc is like, a good guy?
Let me be clear, I love Diluc, but I also think he's kind of a shithead. I don't think his actions towards Kaeya can ever be construed as reasonable, his decision to seek vengeance alone irresponsible (even if Kaeya encouraged him), and his vigilantism a product of his paternalistic belief that only he knows what's good for Mondstadt (untrue).
Diluc in the present is the man trying to come back from the bad person he has been. But his solution is to force himself to do a job he never thought he'd have and challenge random Fatui factions to a fight so he can torture them in his basement. I think he has the capacity for good in him, and is trying to change, but I don't see why people think that his actions were all totally a good idea and when we say he's "an uncrowned king of Mond" that's not like, frightening.
