ok but what are the implications of Kaeya's "enchantee". We've had no other mention of a language other than English or whichever language you're using (except like hilichurlian or abbysal?). iirc there's never been like a different ingame language that people in liyue vs mind speak even if there's different scripts. Is Fontaine the only nation with a different language? Why are they canonically french. Is Kaeya breaking the fourth wall (again? I think he's done something similar before). This has been on my mind since the update I am losing my mind
WHY IS FRENCH CANON

holyfrick. wait. kaveh. he's kinda so relatable to me
i didnt expect his character stories to hit so hard 😭 i get the feeling that they really put in the effort to weave his viewpoints and why they both work and fall apart. I feel like he's also the dev's take on art in an increasingly capitalistic environment + artblock... its all so wordy and poetic i kinda love him.
more of my faves from his lore:
A person who wished to ascend to the garden of heaven upon steps made of thin air would inevitably plant their feet on an empty stair and fall to their death. As a genius, Kaveh longed to belong in a crowd, subconsciously fearing separation from it — this was the difference between him and Alhaitham.
People should not give up, for even if they are doing good in an attempt to make up for something, the results will still have meaning for some. Even if he could not enter that promised land of his ideals, that did not mean the radiance and the attraction of such a realm should be denied.

"Our views are contradictory, but it is through contradiction that more speculation and philosophy may be born." This line has been retained.

if they make Furina based off Marie Antoinette they better make Arlecchino based off Napoleon in 4.6

Genshin looking at arjuna, ashwatthama, and sana tsukomo before commissioning pako to design yet another white-ass boy for them like

To
The one artist who has shown they’re willing and able to put in the research to make a more accurate character that still fits in with the anime stylization (AND GIVE THEM DARK SKIN) and ur like ‘no we want them to be pasty as hell’

Kaveh's suitcase has a face; it's his buddy!!!
It's called Mehrak and it has lil anime eyes and projects Kaveh's designs for him and I would do anything to protect it <3

i gotta be so fucking honest i HATE every piece of rati.o.rine content ever just bc no one sees it like i do (nor knows how to be normal abt it)
however nothing will ever have me GOBSMACKED like a large chunk of shippers using the fact that aventurine was a slave as a ‘quirky plot point’
y’all really took this romani character (who represents a group thats ALREADY dealt with enslavement enough in the real world) & were like ‘lol what if its cute quirky slave dynamic’ i genuinely hope all of you die (/srs)

[Birth of a new god]
Honestly I was not feeling my original Scaramouche illustration so I started randomly doodling and yeah. This happened lol. Happy Scaramouche coming home ig hdjdhfjs
My inspiration for this (as well as the original painting) was like a baptism kinda thing? Like being submerged in liquid and coming out anew. Except the first illust was really about him becoming better and this one is just edgy lolol.
Anyway Merry Christmas!!! Have some pathetic little man <33
