oooookay i finally finished the last of the sumeru archon quest!!

the sumeru archon quest series was probably one of the best things i have read. period. like it surpasses a lot of books and tv shows that i've watched, which surprised me because i didn't think i would ever encounter this kind of stuff in a game. i think it's a mix of incredible writing and how great of a job hvy has done with building up characters throughout the game (ie. excitement for dottore and scaramouche since the beginning). the plot twists were placed perfectly and written in such a way that no one could have expected it, even with the trailers. anyways the writing in this quest made the writer in me so impressed and now i really want to take this game writing analysis course if i can find space in my hectic schedule lol

under the cut i have a bunch of screenshots and stuff hehe and my random little rambles

ok so apparently tumblr only lets you put 10 images that's a shame bc i have so many screenshots

starting off strong i love that everyone is telling paimon to shut up and pay attention and all that bc i'm truly so so sick and tired of her microaggression and she just irritates me in general

NEXT UP CYNO AND TIGHNARI hvy stop beating around the bush and just admit that they're in love and happy. like at the end of the 3.1 archon quest (or was it cyno's story quest?) the two of them were talking and it was oh so sweet. i love watching interactions between them. and their voicelines about each other!! adorable

no bc scaramouche's va did such an incredible job. the raw emotion in scaramouche's voice, especially when nahida took the gnosis back was so powerful. but ngl him just hitting the ground was lowkey funny bc the traveller and nahida were like lmao ok let's go save irminsul

i didn't include this screenshot, but the fact that nahida so easily and willingly gave us information about our sibling was so refreshing. venti, zhongli, and ei all bounced around the topic and it got really frustrating but nahida wanted to help us. i'm not the biggest fan of her design, but her character and development throughout the archon quest was really really good!

ok now we're moving onto ALHAITHAM AND KAVEH WOOF they're so funny when they're arguing like they argue like a divorced couple it's so refreshing to have this kind of petty and pretentious humour. and it fits well because they're both scholars

anyways yea lol. that was a lot but to sum this all up, i loved the sumeru archon quest series. i hope that the writers who worked on this will also be writing the rest of the archon quests because this is the sort of writing and pulling at heartstrings that i want to see!!

#genshin impact #yea this was a lot LMAO but i did have a lot of thoughts #this is the fastest i've gotten through an archon quest and i think it's cause i was pulled into it so fast #lost some sleep but that's fine lol i'm a college student we don't need sleep anyways CLEARLY #spirit rambles
