Venti truly is the epitome of "he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely" the fact that interpreation of him ranges from "drunkard, weak god, doesn't care for his people" to "he lied about being the weakest, his drunkeness is a facade, he's the best archon in regards to the management of his people" and everything in between. It's amazing, what a guy of all time.
Right??
He's fascinating, because he's such a black box that there are a variety of ways to get him really wrong but there are also a variety of ways to interpret him that are reasonable. How strong is he really? How emotional? Can he form truly equal relationships with mortals (edit: at least post-becoming-a-god) or will they always feel like children to some extent to him? Are his time abilities very limited, or does he fuck around with timelines like the player navigates hangout events, or something in between? Why does he sleep? What did he do in Khaenri'ah? What the hell are his long-term goals, if any?
There's a chunk of fan interpretations where I'm like 'bro you are being played, reread the source material'. The main example is people taking the Signora cutscene at face value; it gets more obvious Venti sandbagged the more you think about it lmfao. Fanworks that hyperwoobify him or lean really really hard into him being a god and treat any humility from him as a facade also feel wrong to me.
But then there's a lot in between that I might not vibe with but are completely reasonable interpretations. And we're probably all wrong considering we're missing major parts of his backstory and have no idea what the pov of a wind-spirit-with-time-powers-turned-deity would be like.

ghdksfjghfdsk is that the needle felted shmilk? not the fork
"I feel like he totally would've worked with her to develop the storing-the-truth-in-stories thing; maybe that's even a factor in him leaving names out of his backstory?" Crack theory: the overthrow of Decarabian and old Mondstadt has been affected by Irminsul erasure and that's why half its important participants lack names (also something about inconsistency in whether a knight was involved or not??) + the Hexenzirkel is linked to Mondstadt/has interacted with Barbatos + Venti sings of the past in metaphors and song
At this point I would not be surprised lmfao

ah wait I just remembered the question I was curious of your thoughts about last night but. if the nameless bard got a vision, what would it be. Anemo feels like the 'obvious' answer bc he's kinda Venti also he fought for freedom, but he may not necessarily fit the more 'hanging onto something to hang on to the past' take on anemo (of course we also know very little about him), so I'm curious if you have Thoughts on whether a different vision may fit him better
Ooo, good question! Based on what I thought defined the elements in that convo I'm thinking NB would fit... hydro and potentially anemo depending on backstory?
My tentative thoughts on anemo rn involve two themes:
Some sort of loss and striving for a better future, and
Selflessness/issues with identity or prioritising themself; they're consumed by their cause and live to further it, in some cases to the point of self-destruction, in the same way anemo exists to amplify other elements. Even if they occupy an important position they aren't in it to be the main character.
So agreed- I feel like I'd need to know NB's past to confidently assign anemo to him- though he could fit the rest really well. Especially if he was genuinely nameless.
Hydro could also fit him because hydro characters seem to be defined by... a strong sense of right and wrong and performing some sort of 'role'? The unjustness of Decarabian's treatment of Mondstadt could have been a big motivator for him, and as a bard-turned-rebellion-instigator he would be no stranger to putting on a performance.
My theory is that you'd be willing to try all sorts of weird food combinations for The Experience given your desire to try peanut butter despite a nut allergy
Lmao
Growing up that would have been really inaccurate- I was really picky for some things, especially fruits- but now I feel like that fits.
Still have never actually tasted peanut butter or any other nut product directly but ty for the reminder. I will pursue this at some point.
Venti: Hey Zhongli, remember that story we used to share all the time? About the bird that would offer a branch to the lynx who sits alone at the top of its oak tree? Zhongli: Funny you mention that, in my memory and records the 'bird' could only find 'flaming flowers', and burnt the 'lynx's' 'tree' down
Venti and Zhongli over their wine and/or tea: ...................
Venti: So what'cha say to us adding another layer to the story where the bird dreamed of offering the branch but woke up and could only find flaming flowers
The two of them bickering for hours over every single story about them and/or their people. Gotta make sure they're depicted as better than the other accurately and with due diligence :)
This is a tangent but now I want to see the archons in a dnd campaign. Traveller as DM because they're the only one who's done tabletop roleplaying before. It would be a beautiful trainwreck.
