but what if i read one of your fanfics and then went to your ao3 accounts and read all of your fanfics and left a comment on every single chapter of every single one and you got spam emails from all of my kudos and comments and it made you smile, what then? what if i brighten your day with my words like you did mine, what then???
It's funny how suddenly brutal the 2012 turtles become after the foot stop using people, like they could prob kill someone out of habit of killing robots so often
We don't talk enough about how goddamn funny Tighnari is. That man is unphased by everything.
Cyno shows up at his doorstep with a small child who is traumatized, illiterate, terminally ill, and has an ancient god sealed away in her body, and asks him to help raise her, and Tighnari's only objection is that he doesn't know how to teach preschool level academics.
He eats a poisonous mushroom, passes out, and has a hallucination and just goes "damn that was crazy. Let me write it down for science."
The dudes in charge of the whole country repeatedly beg him to come work for them and he tells them to fuck off.
The second fatui harbinger, said to be as strong as a god, threatens him and he basically tells him to fuck off too.
The traveler gets possessed by god and then comes back to tell him that the sages are building a false god and he's like "Damn that's fucked up. Anyways I gotta go check on my patient."
Dehya and the Traveler basically say "Hey we are helping Cyno overthrow the government" and he's just like bet.
He get's struck by lightning and is just like "Oof. Anyways gotta go check on my patient, good luck fighting a god".
He finds an illegal sentient robot crab and just adopts it and tells the matra not to worry about it.
He passes out from heat exhaustion in the desert and is just like "Damn. I'll need to bring some sunscreen next time".
Finds out Cyno has a long lost brother/cousin and is just like "Cool. Why don't you come over for dinner, meet the family".
The craziest shit can happen to this man and he's just like "Allright why not. This might as well happen" and I love that about him
lord the peasants are so loud today
K'uhul Ajaw
srry they can’t answer the phone they’re too busy making out 😔😔😔
with the release of natlan we can already see that many of the designs lack cultural representation at the same time that inacuratly portrays the characters actual cultures. But a topic that i saw many people discuss in their socials is how modern the natlan designs look compared to other regions such as fontaine and sumeru, saying thing about xilonen's dj set, kinich videogames references, ororon ripped jeans, etc..., some people tend to ind that claim quite nonsensical saying stuff like "sumeru has bluetooth" or "fontaine has robots everywhere", although those claims are in fact true i think that those cannot be compared together since they both have very different intention when wanting to put technology into a fantasy setting.
Let's start with sumeru "bluetooth". If you dont know what their reering to its the akasha system, wich according to genshin archon quest are explained to be a device that allows the people connected to the akasha terminal to grant them any sort of knowledge they desire to have, as long as they have the required credentials. The reason why it can do this is because of sumeru's lore that states that the akashas were developed by greater lord rukkhadevata by using her gnosis and expanded on by sumeru akademiya after her death while also beign powered by the dendro's archon gnosis. In relate to it, fontaine robots also have a cohesive explanation for their existence being powered not by electricity but by the arkhe system, hence magic, not to mention the act that fontaine overall asthetic is a variaton of the steampunk asthetic wich is described as "a genre of science fiction that has a historical setting and typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology", wich means that ontaine futuristic thematic is not modern futurism but an antique variation of it, this makes or a great way to incorporate technology while still keeping the mediaval setting. The difference between these two examples of tech being incorporated in a fantasy setting is that the akasha terminals and fontaine mekhas actually have a cohesive explanation for why they exist, beign powered by magic instead of actual tech, it actually is written in a way where it makes sense for said modern stuff be put into a fantasy setting. Meanwhile natlan doesnt have an explanation for why they have dj tables and other kind of modern stuff like led tvs, colored spotlight and raves (xilonen's demo).
The reason why i think genshin wanted to give natlan such modern archetypes is because they were already beign flamed as racist for making such atrocious design and skin color representation, so to not fall under the steryotype of tribal people beign so far in technology they decided to go the "give them ripped jeans and motorcyclers type of clothes" wich actually makes the more racist for choosing to represent modern cultures instead of actually representing the cultures and people natlan is based on. That could also be why the character designs look they are not from genshin and why recent characters are so strong compared to older ones cause hoyo knows they dont have to try anymore and as long as a character is meta or better then certain support or dps people will roll and will whale for their c6 r5.

Society if HSR devs werent cowards with Aventurine's design and they committed to making him have Brown features because of how his "fictional fantasy race" is literally heavily based on/appropriated from Roma culture down to the negative stereotypes and words:
