I sure am glad these two characters cannot be anything close to normal with each other. Yeah, it’s terrible for their mental health and a lot of people have gotten hurt or worse because of it. But damn, it is so entertaining to watch, so I kind of want them to just keep going.

it is perfectly 100% normal to offer your half-eaten lollipop to your best friend

To all the x reader people i've blocked despite tagging properly and doing everything right: I'm sorry. Usually I reserve the banhammer for people who don't tag in a way that lets me avoid it, but I just want to be able to functionally browse the blorbo tag and sometimes I hit my fucking limit after scrolling through 5 filtered posts in a row and start killing indiscriminately

Family tree

Nahida shares a bit of information she hadn't realized the Wanderer wasn't already aware of.

“Lord Kusanali,” he spoke up, making the Archon look up from her clear enjoyment of her pita pocket. “I’ve been thinking.” “Mm? About what?” “The fairytale you wrote to preserve my true past, the one you gifted me with to spark the recovery of my memories.” He set down his tea. “In the moment I was too overwhelmed by everything it brought back, but I’ve been thinking about the way you worded the actual story. There was… something in there I haven’t been able to place.” Her eyes were wide and intrigued. “Which part?” “The… kitten.” He voiced it with a careful sort of distaste that made her giggle, pressing a hand to her mouth. “Yes?” “You said it was carved from the wood of a white tree.” He frowned. “Why would you say that?”

so so so much of genshin is about personhood. how it's defined, how it's developed, how an identity is constructed or maintained or shattered or discarded or reformed. so much of it specifically is about the tension between personhood and duty, how people cope, whether they're consumed by the mask, how they keep sight of the 'true' self or if a true self even exists. how all of these things impact their relationships with other people. the loneliness of being surrounded by people but not seen or known. contradictorily the terror of being known even as you long for it. what it costs to be known and whether that's worth it. the way that people are dehumanized by both positions of power and positions of powerlessness, as gods and tools and weapons and leaders and so on and so forth. the boundaries between self and other, how memory informs identity, whether the self can be transcended and what one stands to lose or gain by doing so, whether there is worth in one's individual and very temporary experience of the world. whether self-determination is possible and what it means for your personhood if it's not.

this is obviously not the only main theme in genshin, and it exists in conversation with other major themes. however looking at the narrative through this lens this helps us answer questions such as 'why do 5 out of 7 archons so far have some sort of deceased mirrorself' 'why did we have to stop antagonists from assimilating people into a gestalt-consciousness a minimum of 3 times' 'why is wanderer the real true main character of genshin impact' (struck from the record for personal bias) 'why do suicide and suicidal ideation come up so much' 'why does this sometimes deeply frustrating game still scratch my brain after 5 years' (that's themes babey!! that's all the things i like and go crazy for!!)

@dykeheng no you're so right this isn't just a genshin thing this is a hoyoverse thing in general. like one of the questions answered was gonna be 'why is there so much selfcest' and then i remembered that was more of a honkai thing.

like. across genshin and hsr these are all the characters i can think of who qualify for 'deceased mirrorself' for varying definitions of 'deceased' 'mirror' and 'self':

Notes:

- For the purposes of this discussion, deceased twin sisters count (deceased twin brothers would also count if this was a thing that had ever occurred across the hyv)

- I'm given to understand that some of these characters Are the deceased mirrorself

- Should Blade count? if i'm giving it to Wanderer maybe i should give it to blade. Whatever

- Everyone in Amphoreus probably counts on a technicality, idk i haven't finished playing it yet

- Any companion NPC in any major Genshin WQ has about a 50/50 chance to count

- If you remove the 'deceased' qualifier on the mirrorself we could also count March, Sparkle, Layla, maybe more

- I cannot comment on Honkai games other than HSR as i have not played them

#hsr #genshin impact #aphelion.txt #venti is a stretch maybe but he kind of Made that deceased guy into a mirrorself at any fucking cost so.#the self recursive

the night after the 6.6 livestream i dreamed that this was the final cutscene of the archon quest
