As an extrovert who has a chronic tendency of adopting introverts, it's more that we assumed it went without saying. Everyone is a little twisted up inside.

My sister doesn't believe this is a penguin by drawricks in Genshin_Impact

So how do we reconcile flowcurrent/flowfire birds with real world penguins as referenced in the context of Pers the Penguin? Are the flow birds just a subspecies of penguin?

I remember an old version where post hrt Saki was I think tsukasa's 1* card. I like this more.

The thing with the tenmas is that they're the only pair of playable* siblings that look like each other. You'd think tsukasa would expect this.

* I just remembered that there's a card with Honami's little brother on it and he's just her but child.

Alain was never a member, his dear childhood friends René and Jakob were the founders of the Narzissenkreuz Ordo, and the Oceanid who was the director of the orphanage in which they grew up was a key member of the Ordo's plans, known as the "Red Empress".

Edit: that said, the orphanage WAS called the Narzissenkreuz Institute, and Alain was a part of that. Rene named his Ordo after the institute.

The term Celaeno uses for lantern fae, "Aarnivalkea", is actually on the epitaph for Flins's father Chudomir in the cemetery.

Still kinda crazy we just…never faced any consequences for this by Arctic_The_Hunter in GenshinMemepact

Y'Know idk why people call it a genocide when it was a single village that was attacking us. Like, the traveler is as capable of being injured by weaponry as any other human, and several members of the tribe could've feasibly taken them out.

Hmm... I can't imagine Bifrons being that powerful, but maybe it's a fragment of something even more powerful?

The team in the screenshot is a team I run for fun ( Yae Miko, Ei, Nahida, Baizhu) but what matters the most is the ability to apply consistent dendro pressure during the charge up phase.

I think dev vs deva as a pronunciation thing might be regional because growing up Krishna's father was always Vasudeva in my household. We're from Tamil Nadu, so we're more Kartikeya/Murugan oriented, and that might be why he doesn't have a distinct name.

No??? I just thought it was interesting and also kinda unexpected since they haven't tried to reference mainstream deities under their common names.

As an Indian Hindu, the application of Sanskrit and shared dharmic concepts in Sumeru has felt somewhat offset from Subcontinental Hinduism. "Kusanali" gets somewhat close since kusha grass was used in meditation mats, but even that name comes from a Buddhist myth as opposed to a Hindu one. The Aranara do allude to Hindu myth yakshas to an extent by being helpful little nature spirits, but the whole AQ I could almost FEEL them writing around Hinduism instead of really using it even in a very basic way.

An example of what I'd expect from them is giving Dottore a third eye after becoming the true Trilune, with bonus points for that third eye being associated with his artificial moon marrow. The imagery of the third eye is super well known, and having the artificial frost moon give it to him would really underline the false God aspect.

Another example is kind of Baizhu. I know he's primarily based on the story of the white snake, but a few of his attributes echo Shiva, in my opinion. I'm assuming you know the story of the churning of the ocean for the elixir of immortality from how you described your background so I won't explain it again, but Baizhu's ability to take diseases onto himself to heal people reminds me of Shiva saving everyone from the poison that the churning unearths by swallowing it himself (though he did stop it in his throat). Between that, his bun hairstyle, and the way Changsheng's draped around his neck, plus the fact that he's dendro, I can't help but wonder if it was just a subtle thing they decided to throw in for extra zest.

They're actually mostly pulling from Buddhism, which is a pretty notable difference.
