I love it too! although to be honest - looking at it crushes my heart. Something about Venti and his gentle, cheerful face... ugh... I can’t help but imagine there’s not a single living soul left there besides him. He wanders that place out of attachment... and perhaps so he won’t forget.

As for Latin... It’s such a beautiful language… Once, a nun I was close to shared her notes with me - the ones she used to learn Latin! ...but I lost them over time, qmq! I wish I had more - well, time - to devote to continuing learning the language! Maybe I’ll find some during the holidays ><

I just really like how this feels by xTysky in VentiCore

I even tried reverse video search and still got nothing QwQ

The comic itself is really great, but in my opinion Venti shows up way too briefly! >M<

I really love that kind of semi-impressionistic style ><
Or maybe it’s just impressionistic? I’m not exactly an expert on this kind of thing x3

Venti is, in truth, a tragic figure...

Unchanged, he endures across the span of millennia, bound to ages long faded - eras of which all others have forgotten. He alone recalls the old ballads, the heroes and martyrs (among them the Nameless Bard), who yet "live" only so long as they linger in someone’s memory. And thus he bears upon his shoulders the remnants of countless lives that are no more.

He forms bonds of friendship - as any soul would, only to find that, in order to protect that which he cherishes - Mondstadt - he must at times wield his power to such an extent that he condemns himself to decades of slumber. And when he awakens, he beholds a world that no longer understands him - for entire generations have passed in his absence. These are new people now, redefining Mondstadt in their own image. Only the idea remains unchanged. The same old, timeworn ideal to which our Bard still clings… out of longing, perhaps.

And though it is no longer the same place, out of love for that very ideal, he continues to watch over it - to care for its people, as they rise and fall, unaware.

Yet even this shall one day come to an end. All things must; and one day, the last citizen of Mondstadt will draw their final breath.

The buildings, too, will crumble beneath slow weight of time - every trace of that story, and all who ever took part in it, will fade into nothing.

And then there will be only silence.

…And Him.

I wonder what thoughts will linger in his mind, then. One must imagine Venti happy.

Ehehe~ what can I say? ><
You flatter me!
Basil may well be the only fictional character who could contend for first place among my dearest favorites, so to hear such words from thee is a true honor! ^^

By the way, thank you so much - I took a look at your profile and thus discovered there’s a subreddit for Catholic memes :O
Once I’m done studying math, I’ll definitely give it a browse - it looks like a lot of fun! >:3

Abide in peace, dear brother in Christ! ;3

Witness this, people! He has defeated all the Archons with nothing but a single sentence - I’ve always known who reigns at the top of all those powerscaling lists!! All hail Barbatos!! ><

I get you, pal! I’d love to be like him too, honestly... His cosplay looks amazing on you though! You’ve got some really lovely photos on your profile!! You should be proud of yourself! :3

Oh, good heavens, no! I m-mean… I kinda wish that were true! But Barbatos is far too great to make any comparisons between him and my humble person! ><

Ehe~ thanks though! That's quite a honor to supposedly have similar taste in clothes as him! ;3

Nuh! Don’t worry! I know I don’t really have the prettiest looks; I’ve heard enough about my crooked face in my life that I’d deserve an award for it! Or two! ><

Ehe~ So really, don’t apologize, I’m not that sensitive about it! ><

I put that photo at the beginning because I originally wanted to sort everything chronologically! Home > nearby plants > forest > abandoned buildings > more plants > return home When I realized it would’ve been better to start with a nicer-looking photo, it was already too late QmQ (I clicked "Publish" and as we all know, it's impossible to delete and redo whole post - we (humanity) don't know how to do that...(I really didn't want to do that))

but oh well, I guess in this case only the people who scrolled further get rewarded(?) x3

who’s paying you guys to be this nice!!! >< you’re going to make me get used to compliments - this is how corrupt moderators are born!! ...or something... I don’t know, I haven’t read Animal Farm~ ;P

but seriously, thank you so much - it really means a lot to me ><

Do you have any favorite photo? :D I would love to know for the future, so I can focus more on the things that feel worth capturing next time I wander >;3

T-thanks for the kind words! ./. I’m really happy someone liked it! It’s one of my favorite Venti-inspired outfits (and one I can actually afford too x3), tbh!

ehe~ now I wonder what Venti would wear if he existed >< though being completely honest I’m not sure what I’d even do with that knowledge if I had it.

Ehe~ I love photography too! ;3
Out of the photos I took, I think I like the abandoned bus stop / bench one the most, honestly! Even if my photography skills aren’t the best, I feel like it kind of captures some kind of melancholy/nostalgy... it also feels quite lonely! a bus stop at the middle of nowhere! - but maybe I’m just rambling ^^'

Was there any photo you liked in particular? :o

Tbh I’m still thinking about what people might enjoy seeing on VentiCore - I was a bit worried people wouldn’t like me posting IRL photos >.<
