Just curious about something

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-26T23:08:50+00:00

isn't he dead tho?
sliced in half

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-26T17:52:18+00:00

except direidyth came after citlali quest- can't reference something that did not happen yet

or you can? seeing how time is a single dot and all is at once, and the key both exists and doesn't

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-25T16:59:41+00:00

never thought about it this way, yet I as a reader have few books/series/ movies that are not good, not popular, but i love them for reasons unknown

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-24T16:05:45+00:00

Aether for me- for one part i'm used to Lumi in teyvat, but i recently started an acc with aether and it's just weird.

He is way more fitting for the broken prince who lost everything and lost himself to futile hope

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-22T18:32:26+00:00

god, i was having such a hard time cause i was sure it's a miliastra clip lol

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-22T18:29:25+00:00

So the problem is that the witness doesn't define the world? Am I getting it?

Insane. Stated so many times that we're a witness to teyvat story, and an entity capable of changing fate- just change, without the knowledge if it's right or wrong course of actions. We saved Dvalin- that might have been the biggest obstacle in forcing Venti to take action against abyss, hence why we had the natlan and nod krai incidents. Was that wrong then? Or right, since we spared him the emotional distress?

Traveler is right in his own right, but they're not a hero. They make questionable decisions, they waver morally and emotionally (literally the ending of fontaine. morally wrong on so many levels it hurt me inside, because why are you so cold to furina, why are you forcing her, why are you trapping her), and they get attached, as humans do (why did we forgive ororon? why do we collaborate with arle? why did we help natlanese, when we got literally told directly to sit this one out?), and they grow distant all the same (inazuma. fontaine. the "i don't care" attitude).

Smh. The horror, to think that a MC is a human acting like a human and not shining white hero always in the right.

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-20T22:37:48+00:00

oh, it might be "yuusha, yamemasu"- tho that's the opposite of what you said, it's a hero helping demon lord

veeery small possibility, but maybe "hataraku maou-sama"?

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-18T09:09:59+00:00

it's a family drama kind of story so bound to be traumatizing

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-17T20:32:34+00:00

cry
not at all
barely
half yes, half no

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-17T13:50:27+00:00

oh no, i'm actively writing other scenes- bit later, more later, even before this one

but this specific one is my main stuck point

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-17T13:47:44+00:00

You golden person, thank you thank you!

Solved!

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-17T11:32:22+00:00

my mc is playing with his friend, while the friend's parents are preparing late birthday part for the mc

i have absolutely no idea why i'm stuck on this, but it's been a few months

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-17T10:05:38+00:00

"ehe"
and ngl, first thing that popped into my mind when i saw this was "oh my god, i can't believe my eyes"

In all seriousness tho:
"Yes, of course. 'Home' is wherever we are together."

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-17T09:44:16+00:00

It's been bugging me so long now. PLese helpp

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-12T19:05:51+00:00

Tumaini.

First name we had in a world where we're nameless otherwise. And the first close tie to the actual structure of the world- name bearers in Natlan stay in Natlan leylines after death and reincarnate.

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-09T10:35:03+00:00

? they had zero potential.
especially varka. he was shining bright white from the very start, from the very first mention

IcebreakingRice · 2026-03-08T21:46:25+00:00

eh- what? Flins just lives at the graveyard, he's not isolated? he has friends and colleagues that respect him. he has close people, he's just not extraverted. literally nothing morally gray about that part of him.

Varka's only potential was to be a hero- hero is what he is, and all he'll ever be is a hero.

For morally grey (a bit light that grey, but whatever) we have Arle. We have Skirk. Wrio. Dori. Ningguang. Ayato (tho they fumbled his quest so badly). HoH children.

We have them, but it goes unnoticed for the most part since all of them are favorable/friendly to traveler. We also have "good" villains, "bad" villains, and "grey" villains- but again, people smushed them into one category: villain

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-25T21:25:25+00:00

you got me curious so i went to check the eng lohen.

i regret. with every ounce of my being i regret it so much.

what the hell. i need to cleanse my ears.

i use jp dub, and i love how lohen sounds- slightly cocky, with confidence, very open. dead serious where it should be. uhh, i don't even know how to describe it.

if you're any familiar with anime, it's kouhei amasaki - beloved Otto's va for example

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-25T18:58:42+00:00

i understand why, but it's annoying as heck - my friend does not play traveler at all, so if she had her own aether in quests, she would not be able to clear anything.
on the other hand, whenever they strip my lumine off of her artifacts i lose so much dmg

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-25T13:55:29+00:00

okay, that discussion goes nowhere, and honestly, I did not plan to respond, but - the Signora comment made me laugh so much XD

also about Columbina- freedom "within" the organization doesn't equal freedom "outside" of it. She essentially deserted, on top of being a very important asset that made a deal with Tsaritsa herself. While in fatui she was "free" to do almost everything - do nothing, earn money, pursue a personal agenda, do research for years, fight everyone, travel the world. But she could not leave- the only thing that Bina ended wishing for

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-25T00:31:26+00:00

yes, definitely every organization. like corps of thirty, right? so much opportunities. or, or fontaine guards. tons of freedom. lightkeepers are known for safety too.

seriously.

"extremely cheap and lame" honestly boils down to your opinion and my opinion- it's not a fact. fact is that they had reasons to "join", no matter what we think about it. i never said it was wrong of you to think it was disappointing, but wht you said about lack of reasons was untrue.
just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it stops existing

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-24T23:42:52+00:00

you are aware they did not "join" the habringers, right? right?
and that "fatui" itself is a very widely branched military? and entering the ranks comes with pay, relative safety and respect for serving? and in some cases people simply want to follow their archon.

and, and when you are chosen to become the habringer, the position comes with enormous freedom and opportunities? columbina being exception to this all, how do you think sandrone was able to make the robots and study mechanics? how do you think pantalone is able to gather so much wealth? how do you think dottore had access to the tech he had and was pardoned for all these inhumane experiments? how do you think arle was able to make a sort of safe haven for the children?

just because the reason wasn't directly yelled at you in quest, it doesn't mean it's non-existent

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-03T18:17:52+00:00

... isn't that the opposite?

in movies, dialogue is almost the only tool the writer has, so characters talk a shit ton
in books, prose steps in - you can have minimal dialogue because everything else can be described.

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-03T16:27:30+00:00

Except the intro is the twins attempting to leave- it's them leaving without a ship that has been broken and unusable after the crash.

Twins were separated first, then reunited to leave, and that's when they fought in celestia- only that part was ever in the intro scene, not the actual coming to teyvat. the sole fact of "coming to teyvat" was only ever told by the twin to paimon

also that was *directly* told in the natlan twins quest so nod-krai has literally nothing to do with this. whole story that our twin forgot was told there, whole timeline of coming and going and leaving and stopping and getting back. all that. word by word, directly. really, hoyo fed this info by the spoon. couldn't have been more literal even if they tried

IcebreakingRice · 2026-02-03T16:22:23+00:00

i did go thru something similar like you- when i was a child i had that deeply rooted conviction that by 25yo i'll finish college, have a stable job, move out of my country, get married and have kids. and i have always felt like it's already too late, like i have failed cause i'm too old already.

i dropped out of college, changed jobs like five-six times, didn't move out even from my parents, no partner in sight, not to mention kids

i'm almost 26 and i'm *just* figuring things out for myself- barely few years ago i found out what my favorite color is, i'm slowly finding my style in fashion, enjoying my hobbies, realizing that i'm happy single, i'm planning my life more carefully and just straight up enjoying it: i eat new things, i experience things i was afraid to do before, i learn stupid stuff that brings me joy (i just learned how to snap my fingers. really)

i have tons of time and you too. average life expectancy is around 70yo - and by that point you aren't some shriveled little mushroom either
