Creator said, in passing, "dragons are pretty great" (context unknown) and everyone is like "welp, it's bring your dragon to work day" venti brings dvalin, and zhongli, in a succesful attempt to one-up him, just turns into one.

He's refusing to turn back although navigating doors and corners just became infinitely harder.

Creator is having the time of their life.

Awww, I have a solution, tiny dragon Zhongli, it's foolproof

I feel like in that case Venti might just turn himself into a dragon form too, especially if you're being super doting over cute dragon Zhongli, or maybe just his wisp form with like tiny horns and a tail, I'd melt

Like everything, it becomes a competition, and now every being that can shape shift is going to for at least a day to get in on that affection

I imagine after they realize they can't stay that way forever, some would take on more dragon like features, aka Zhongli with sharper teeth, claws and horns, maybe even some scales, yes pls

But this just sounds like everytime the creator gives even a passive like everyone is gonna jump on it, dragon based merchandise sells out immediately, there's suddenly a demand for anything with dragon in the name, offerings at your alter are completely dragon themed for a while, (Liyue thinks you like their nation the best cause their archon is a dragon and all), people are braving the harsh climate of dragonspine to get whatever remnants of the actual dead dragon are still there to offer (while also doing their best to hide all the information surrounding Durin cause they couldn't stand to break your heart like that), childrens stories with dragons are all the craze— and it's just like that every time

Then there's probably all this theorizing that the whole Seven Sovereigns that supposedly ruled over the old world before the Primordial One was actually of your doing and oh no— the dragons you created are dead— you're not... mad about that... right?

But fr though Zhongli would absolutely steal you away to the dense mountains of Liyue to show you his giant powerful dragon form without anyone else around so he can show off fully, and Venti would absolutely pout about it after, saying the two of you could totally go ride on Dvalin together if you wanted

Entropy silently watched the goings-on of the temporary workshop, leaning against a support, smiling as people came up to her to say hi, sometimes to ask if she was alright. She really was, despite her inability to participate—the liveliness reminded her of lab work in grade school. She was impressed that people were even succeeding. The guide for how to repair the robotic beetles was clumsily written and barely instructive.

Entropy straightened up, planning to head out and try something different. There had to be some sort of activity she was capable of participating in, and she was determined to find and enjoy it.

She stumbled as something ran through her foot, a small robotic beetle with a small dot of paint on its exoskeleton. Maybe it had been activated while its owner was trying to paint it? The energy from her seemed to give it pause, and it stopped right after exiting her light. She stepped carefully away from it and looked around the workshop. “Did anyone lose a beetle?” Her eyes landed on a woman with long purple hair, holding a paintbrush over nothing. “Is this yours?”
