Happy Feet, but it's Lucifer (Mumble) during his days in Heaven (Emperor-Land) before Eden is formed and the angels (penguins) are shunning him for being so odd.

Back on my "Venti was capping calling himself the weakest" bullshit

As we get more and more into the nations, it's so interesting to see how they all worship what the archon stands for, sometimes even more than the archon themselves. The old Sages held the Akasha in higher regard than Kusanali. Higher ups in the Tenryou Commission worshipped the musou no hitotachi more than Ei herself, in Fontaine they see Furina as more of a mascot while they worship justice itself being served.

While Mondstadt obviously holds freedom in high regard, they have the Church of Barbatos. They speak of Barbatos' blessings, not Freedom's blessings. They thank the Anemo Archon. Even though they don't know if he's truly physically present, they still place honour on him at festivals- which imo, makes it all the more meaningful. They don't do that because they feel they must under his eye, but because they truly want to.

And I think so much of it comes down to the fact that Barbatos trusted them first, before they trusted him.

Think about it- they wouldn't have been eager to be ruled by another god right after the fall of Decarabian. They must have been so wary. Barbatos knew this, and then trusted them to rule themselves. He helped them found the new city, and then let them be. I don't think the people would have nearly as much love for him as they do if he had decided to rule himself, even if he did it out of love. He respected them enough to give Mondstadt back the reigns that they fought for.

And so today, the church's still give services, sing hymns, have festivals, and pray. Barbatos might not be ruling directly over Mondstadt, but the amount of influence he has and the worship he's given is huge compared to other nations.

"I am, without a doubt, the weakest archon" iS SUCH BULLSHIT-

let me psycho analyze you while i assign you poetry

bottled emotions

tell them. tell them right now. you keep your emotions bottled up and it is doing absolutely no one a favor including you. you're the type of person who incorporates your feelings into art because you have no idea how to say it out loud. you fear rejection and the fact that you might not be good enough. i'm sensing recent heartbreak or unrequited love. if it's for you, it will come back to you. you're enough, i swear.

[septemberkisses]

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

Don't get me wrong, I don't give two shits about the English Royal Family, but this PR crisis they're in right now is just wild. Every time you think they're done digging themselves deeper, they haul another bucket of shit up from the bottom of the well they're in.

Since the Canada griffin was proudly mentioned recently I figure it can’t hurt to ask if you do happen to have plans to design Canada griffin goslings at some point in the future? (muse permitting)

I DO NOW.
