it’s made abundantly clear that the ocean is sacred to the vidyadhara. >>>

this goes beyond a simple matter of homesickness, being of a race which once dominated the seas of an aquatic planet- it’s only natural for them to miss it. however, i haven’t seen many people point out just how significant it is to them, so here are a few examples:

-lingsha explicitly says that there’s nothing more nostalgic for a vidyadhara than their homeland

-a heliobus in fyxestroll garden complains of their vidyadharan host smelling too strongly of sea salt, a conscious choice also due to nostalgia

-dan heng literally sleeps on a mattress atop tiles which give the illusion of gently rolling waves. self-explanatory.

the list goes on, but all of this is to say one thing:

it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that dan heng might miss the ocean, especially considering how much of an emphasis is placed on the idea that ALL vidyadhara return to these waters for their rebirths, regardless of individual circumstances.

for him, though? not so much.

i think it would be an incredibly bittersweet, almost instinctual longing- one that he would suppress as much as possible, because he already has everything he once wished for- freedom, which is a stark contrast to how he was raised, and his own identity. why should he be entitled to anything more? so maybe he’ll start having more of an appetite for fish, or binge-watch several marine biology documentaries in a single night, but that’s as far as he’ll allow it to go.

(if the crew were ever to find out, i’m certain we would get a Beach Day Episode, as they say. i, for one, am a huge advocate.)

If Mikage and Haku would ever meet I feel like Mikage would get so annoyed by Haku because they’re so alike but at the same time not at all, and Haku would probably find it funny that Mikage is getting annoyed

Imagining Childe using Gen Z slang like “chat, there’s a new mission. Let’s cook those opps!” and the rest of the Harbingers are like “??????????”
