All the rouges come after midnight.
Idk why but they do and it's funny because some of them have serious beef with each other and show up at the same time and argue until their order's done.

*looks at another discussion about Childe and ethics*
The problem with this guy is that he has no bottom line. His ethics is preferences and suggestions, not a line he won't cross.
He puts an impressive amount of effort into doing the right thing but once he realises his goal can't be achieved with ethical means he expresses his deep regret about the fact and pushes further. With all other means in his disposal, some rather unsavory.
Some would say "children" but no, Liyue has plenty of children, he had no guarantee Morax would save everyone quickly enough.
This is a pretty interesting dynamic, morally grey guys are usually the opposite: they don't care much about ideals or have questionable ideals but there are moments when they stop and say "I won't do this". This one doesn't stop.
And I think a lot of people who demonise him pick up on this trait, even if they don't put it into words.
This also makes his family even more important. If there's anything that can stop this guy it's them.
(I'm also curious about him always keeping his word. his loyalty is to people, not principles, but keeping promises is a bit of both. so maybe he has exactly one principle and that's his bottom line
but then guys in all the previous iterations of his samsara seemed to break their word in one way or another)
Ironically, this is also why he is so idealistic. It's easy when in a critical situation you can just decide "well, I'm evil anyway" and push the pesky ideal aside.
(it's not bigotry, he still genuinely believes in everything, he just goes the "oh well, it's an ideal I couldn't uphold because I'm a bad person" route instead of "maybe something is wrong with the ideal")

tonight I’m thinking about how in practically every one of ND’s drawings of Ambrosius and Ballister as young knights/squires, they’re absolutely all over each other. Arms around shoulders, head in lap, Ambrosius jumping onto Ballister’s back or looking over his shoulder at a desk by plastering himself to him. Hands in hair and on waists.
and then thinking about how strange it must be to go from having that all the time to being completely alone

Hullo!! Just wanted to give a belated thank you for all the well wishes, I really appreciate them all :'D I definitely seem to be on the mend! I've been having an...interesting health time this year, but I'm working on it. I've started getting more sleep, at least, which is helping — sleep deprivation makes my digestive issues way, way worse. And also makes it more likely that I'll get sick in general aksjdfksjdf
But yeah, anyway! With luck I will be able to get more things done this week, as long as I can avoid making my body rebel against me again!
