#BUT I THINK IM DOING PRETTY WELL ALL THINGS CONSIDERED!

[uncreative-cryptid]

what i think a lot of people tend to forget is the fact that people with visions are actually supposed to be very rare.

visions are also granted to people by their archons, and those with visions (as mentioned by venti i believe when you start the game) are people who have "allogenes" iirc

these people all have the ability to become the next archons, so i imagine the closer and stronger control you have, the closer you can be to be an archon

though it's never really clear what defines an archon and i feel like my only actual clear view of an archon's control was liyue and inazuma, then i kinda forgot the plot and the archons in general cause despite being a focus to find them for answers i am, unfortunately, very weak to pretty men (alhaitham) and fear i no longer care to find the archons in general (though my love for genshin has long faded so my recall of the lore is a bit iffy)

if in theory that we have a blind wriothesley au, i think it'd be important to think of a few things on how wriothesley would operate day-to-day and to what degree he's actually blind.

im going to assume we're going to say he doesn't have an "absolute" type blindness.

something more like:

perhaps more extreme, considering the environment of meropide being kind of dark, limiting his vision a bit more than this.

i actually own a very similar set of boots to wriothesley, including metal plates (love New Rock).

something i think would be interesting to see in a blind au would be:

Wriothesley using the metal on his shoes to tap against different walls/floors of the fortress. the fortress is made of a LOT of metal, and different metals are going to have different thickness and likely, different sounds when hit. not to mention, sounds are going to be a lot "closer" when you're in tighter spaces, meaning he can likely and accurate gauge the depth of the area he's in depending on how "close" these sounds are to him, ensuring a more accurate navigation in differing areas.

some areas of the fortress are really well lit, likely meaning he can see shadows. he can't really discern people from machines when they're clustered together, but he can probably figure it out pretty quickly when he gets closer or the lights get brighter/moved.

metal shoes on the shoes is not exactly the safest shit for grip, especially when you consider a significant amount of the fortress is .. also made of metal. consider alternatively: coating one's fingers/hands in cryo to cause continuous sound when dragging/tapping along the walls to figure out where he's at

his sense of smell is probably also developed a little more than others. certain areas of the fortress just make me feel that the air circulation might be a little less desirable or a little too damp for comfort, so i imagine he's got a mental map of where he'd be based on how stale/damp the air is near him.

consider a mix of "elemental sight" using one's cryo and another sense (hearing/smell) to allow him to sort of vaguely "map" nearby features [ for some reason i think of the horror game Scanner Sombre where you use the LIDAR scanner to map total darkness in a cave to 'see' what surrounds you ]

i don't think wriothesley necessarily needs a "archon level" or "higher level" of control of his cryo element for it to be plausible he could navigate.

although we don't really see it in genshin, i do imagine there are other things like mobility aids available for wriothesley (an excuse for me to give him a black shepherd named cerberus as an eye-seeing guide dog)

though, as one can already guess and just based off a lot of the designs of the maps, it's likely that our dear duke would have to sort of figure out a lot of these things on his own with the way the fortress is built (and has zero disabled people in mind)

Remember the days when the fandom thought Wriothesley was blind?

Yeah... we should AU that. 🤔

i love serious businesswoman pirate marina she's so real to me, love that for her !

yeah like she doesn't fuck around when it comes to her business!! she's a professional pirate - and merc on the side - she has a reputation to uphold!!!

like to me, the ~whole saving the world from the elven gods business~ is another gig she signed up for so she's treating it like one. she's very practical and pragmatic, and she does whatever she can to succeed in this particular endeavor. like she hardly banters with people when she's in business mode lmfao the only time she jokes around is when she's out of her office hours.

one thing that i wish for though is for the dialogues to be much more mean/stricter. i've gone past the weisshaupt quest and i wish you can be more mean on lucanis for flopping LMFAO like sorry king but to me marina would be sm harder on him since she hired him for that job but he didn't do it right, so what is he good for? if he can't do the one thing she asks for then she has no need for him, and she'd just get someone else. likewise i don't see her being sad about the prospect of davrin sacrificing himself when he's going to kill the archdemon bc that's like. why he's in here in the first place LMFAO like to me, marina would be like well this is what you signed up for 🤷 like she detaches her personal feelings from business. like in a personal level ofc she would be sad if davrin did die but in the end that comes with the job u know.... like she's so serious business woman to me she'd thrive in succession

I do find it so funny that I will graduate college days away from my birthday. Like my birthday is literally in between the end of the semester ("graduation") and commencement

It really will be like a joint graduation & birthday party for me lmao

like, i’m sorry, but when you really think abt it, the aurora hate makes 0 sense. she was a teenage girl thrown forward thousands of years in time (already fucking stressful). add to this the fact that she had a twin brother. she was very close to him. he died protecting her. he came back a monster. he was left out of the Great Family Reunion Sleepover because of it, so he lived those years. and it puts a wall up between him and aurora, for multiple reasons. 1) he became a feared assassin leader and developed his powers and learned to live as a lone survivor after his family abandoned him (i personally believe aurora would’ve fought tooth and nail to try and stay with her twin, so it wasn’t abandonment on purpose on her part). 2) for aurora, her brother died and came back wrong because of her and that happened to her, like, last week. she has not gotten over that trauma. she probably feels incredibly guilty over it still, and she’s definitely scared that castor might hate her over it. they’re jst not emotionally nor psychologically on the same level and it’s rlly heartbreaking.

Semi related I've mostly come to peace with a possible outcome of something in a very.... While I am able, and have the money to, I deserve to do and experience things other kids my age are already doing because there's going to be a real big change that happens soon and it's gonna take allll my money (and probably a full time job again) to even come close to paying for it
