#Zhongli runs his mouth in every other occasion except when he actually needs to

[ceruleanvermillion]

Have mentioned this before at some point- but it's really quite fascinating that we don't often hear about Zhongli lore from zhongli himself. It's always some third party, like Azhdaha or Cloud Retainer, or at the very least hearing from a conversation with someone else. But it's always someone else telling us, almost never Zhongli himself- we don't hear about his own past from his own mouth. This mean that we barely ever get to hear Zhongli's perspective on things.

Not to mention the fact that the guy just. never tells us anything??? We literally don't know anything about his origins- we aren't even sure of what he actually is??? Like. Zhongli. where do you come from. what do you know. what was in those contracts. Zhongli origin theories go wild.

Ah, not to forget the Memory of Dust. Like what is in that thing, why did Guizhong entrust it to him, why is it that she seems to want him to open it but also at the same time she want's him to forget it? If he is, in fact, one of the eldest living beings in teyvat who has the best memories- then are there things that only he remembers? are there things that only he know the truth of? are there things that he is the last person to remember?
