#because of the shadows they cast

which OC you suspect may actually be a vampire?

Like an oc of any person or just from mine? Dk how to read the "suspect" here ^^; . Gonna be egoistical here and go with the latter cuz it’s easier, hope that’s ok (if you meant the first one, please tell me!)

Anyways…I mean, sure, one of 'em’s a dark mage with a cloak, but Violet’s got pale skin, doesn’t like sunshine, never uses light magic even though she’s supposedly got much of it, always wearing that cape, maybe the freckles she gets in sunshine I always forget are actually sun burns, never seen outside that castle either…and who knows what secrets the royal family keeps, they had to get that magic affinity from somewhere right…very suspicious |:|

Op I read your old post about "the blind dragon who wants to see the sun" and I realized wait Zhongli is most symbolized by the sun

zhongli has soooo much sun symbolism here is a list

Gold everywhere!!! Lots of yellow and gold in his color palette. His eyes are described as golden or amber -the golden glow of his hands, the gold in his suits or archon outfits. Gold, the color of the sun is his signature color.

In his splash art his meteorite looks distinctly like the sun (plus his character demo is full of sun symbolism)

In depictions of Rex Lapis he always symbolizes the sun

Zhongli's namecard description: stars fall, light fades

His burst/ultimate is translated to "Planet Befall" in english but in chinese it is "Heavenly Star"

During one of the melusine quests in fontaine one them says "gold are the tears of the sun" if you gift them cor lapis. She also says cor lapis is warm to the touch "truly as gentle as the sun itself"

Deus Auri which translates to “god of gold” is one of Rex Lapis' titles

Mora (which is often referred synonymously with gold) is minted from Zhongli’s own flesh and blood

As you mentioned Azhdaha was a blind dragon who yearned to see the sun. As Morax was the one who granted him eyes -meaning he was the first person Azhdaha saw- Morax is in part the "sun" he yearned to see

In Zhongli's TCG card the story says "a hidden gemstone can illuminate the whole earth, bright and unrivaled as a star"

One of the distinct features of the adepti is the "illumination" that Rex Lapis granted them that gave them the ability to create subspaces and other powers (what does the sun do? illuminate)

In Azhdaha's story he recites a poem to Jiu (his eroded self) "A star appears within the wild a sun ascends as bright as jade”. Other than gold Zhongli's signature item is jade! Fun fact the weapons of the Primordial Jade series were created by him.

In the description of the Geo Hypostasis it states maybe the reason it creates pillar is not to combat enemies but to get closer to the sky

In one of Albedo's voicelines he says "without human manipulation you would need to harness the power of a sun eight times the size of our own in order to naturally create gold”

Interestingly the Solar Chariot crashed into Liyue forming The Chasm about 6000 years ago, coincidentally Rex Lapis descended upon the region at the same time.

Lastly, while Zhongli symbolizes the sun a lot of the people around him symbolize the moon. Guizhong has a dark blue and white color palette with stars in her sleeves. Azhdaha often depicted with the moon and night. Ganyu and Xiao both have moon symbolism. The 'yue' in Liyue means moon. All the other archons -Venti, Nahida, and Ei especially- have a lot of moon symbolism. So not only is he very "sun-like" but the people around him are very "moon-like"

inadvertently giving their characters way more chemistry and now genyalina and malkolai shippers are strong as ever

I am begging you guys, please please please watch shadow and bone if you can. Is the show completely book accurate?? Hell no. But, it’s still a wonderful series (Emmy fucking nominated) with a truly amazing cast and I still haven’t the slightest clue as to why it was cancelled.

SO, the chances of Netflix un-canceling the show are extremely slim yes. But Netflix sees when shows get watched more, when people re-watch and make things popular. So please watch the show🙏 it doesn’t deserve to be cancelled.

The difference between the stylist of each of the crow actors is a litle funny to me.

Amita and Dani are ✨GLAMOROUS✨

Kit and Freddy are fancy and leaning on the modest side

Meanwhile Calahan and Jack just keep figthing over who can undone more buttons

[grishaverse-chaos]

characters I am STEALING from eric whatever-the-fuck-his-name-is and any other producers/showrunners from s&b:

ALINA STARKOV (they can have her back if they do a good job with her in s3)

inej ghafa. seriously they didn't show her trauma at ALL and I'm SO mad about it. also killing tante heleen off screen!! what the fuck!!

n i n a z e n i k. that girl had ZERO personality beyond matthias in the show and I'm pissed about it

zoya nazyalensky. they really just made her a one-dimensional mean girl with no nuance, no personality beyond her aunt - which YES is an important part of her character but there's so much more to her than that!!!

i already said alina but I'm stealing malina as well. they did okay with mal as a character but malina's ending??? no. no stop that.

JESPER FUCKING FAHEY. again they barely showed his trauma and they flattened him into a comedic relief character (again, they can have him back if they do better in the spinoff)

genya safin. they didn't fuck with her character I'm just stealing her so I can give her the good things she deserves instead of the ENDLESS PAIN the show gave her

david kostyk!! I'm stealing him and resurrecting him

IWTV season 2 is coming out it's never been a better time to be an annoying gay horny theater actor who's really into the macabre

sorry i dont really like the shadow is silvers dad theory/headcanon/whatever and part of the reason for it is that people keep presenting it as an actual thing that could be possible even though it makes no sense and all "evidence" people use to back it up is easily disputed

When does the no fucks given portion of adulthood start? Is it in my 20’s or like do I have to wait another 10-20 years? Is my 20’s supposed to start my transition into wizardry? Do I get a pointy hat?

Do. i. get. a. pointy. hat?

Omg is that when I get the pointy hat of no fucks giveth?
