[nekosoda]

Umm soo I was minding my bussines,farming some artifacts when something caught my eye on the domain reward tree (I forgot its name :'c )

This is the tree im talking about:

The carvings behind the tree explain some stuff but something Ie noticed is that-

-These crowns or rings or whatever youd like to call it-you see,people find these crowns similliar to paimons little halo thingy-But-

Its hidden in plain sight-litteraly

Adolin playing Magic the Gathering Commander and his discussion of the format's multiplayer political meta foreshadowing the end of Stormlight 5 was not on my bingo card.

A few months ago I posted an Arlebina meme,saying that I headcannoned Venti and Columbina as siblings-but I never explained why-

Based off of a few leaks I THINK this might be canon,buttt take it with a grain of salt sinve nothings confirmed. (RAMBLE INCOMING,..,,)

The headcannon started as "oooh haha winged girl with pretty voice funny" then it started sounding a bitt too faamilliar to me,

One reason why I headcanon Istaroth as Venti's mom is that they're the only characters with wings we have seen so far.Know who else has wings alongside them both?Atleast on her head,Columbina.

I also headcanon Columbina as,like,a "what if" version of Venti. "What if Venti hadn't ascended to Godhood?" "What if Venti didn't represent hope,instead,what if he represented despair?" Etc etc...

What Im trying to say is,based on the leaks too,Columbina and Venti may be coming from the same bloodline (Primordial One,Istaroth,The thousand winds) They may be similliar,but their lives and experiences have been different.

Venti is on the white side of the chessboard (Celestia) ,while Columbina is on the black side (The Fatui)

i have this hc/theory abt the ad oblivione, time loops, istaroth and venti (ad oblivione is mentioned in the aranara quest) where istaroth created the ad oblivione by giving birth to the thousand winds - she is time itself while they are erosion, like the sun and its rays! - and let them experience everything in the original timeline, then afterwards she formed the thousand winds into the ad oblivione, creating the time loop, then repeating the cycle with new winds until the loops are complete (yk that note in fontaine that goes through all the calamities/loops? hyperborea, etc? yeah) and mond is the end which is why its so important

venti was a part of the original thousand winds and escaped when istaroth formed the ad oblivione, which is why that note in the thousand winds temple/nameless island is a thing (ill get the actual sources later, just getting thoughts out 😭) and also why he’s considered the prodigal son

reason i wrote this all is bc i was doing ‘research’ (doing my once in a blue moon scroll on twitter and looking at theories) and later saw this poem abt the brain organoids on tiktok and and ☹️

My current version, of my ever-evolving theory, on what constitutes "aromantic stories" is that first off, there's absolutely a wide spectrum between 1, "this is explicitly undeniably about aromanticism," and 2, "there sure is a noteworthy amount of aro subtext, but representing aros clearly wasn't the author's intent." But the spectrum is best completed not as a straight line, but as a triangle, where the 3rd point is "the story probably wasn't created with aromanticism at the forefront of anyone's mind, but was created with subverting particular expectations related to romantic relationships in mind." And in my experience, a lot of juicy aromanticism-related experiences that are underrepresented in their own right can lie in that third option, regardless of whether the characters are aro-spec or allo or kind of whatever you headcanon.

So, what does make a story on this spectrum "aromantic?" IDK, I wouldn't necessarily include all or most of the firm 2s (unintentional subtext) under the aromantic story mantle. But when you get into the gray areas that inch a little closer to 1 and 3, let alone the gray area between 1 and 3 where intent is ambiguous but ultimately may not matter, it makes sense that different people will have different takes.
