... and there will be no more monsters in human skin like me.

caterpillar, the man you are. a 400yo prison dweller who only broke free to let an innocent little girl reunite with her family. hoyo needs to stop giving us deeply compelling and layered hilichurl npcs this cant keep going on like this.

this was a joy to work on! the direct link between cater's human colour scheme and his hilichurl one made everything fit together so nicely, and i had fun trying to catch all the little details (like the two feathers hanging out from underneath his cardigan that represent the feathery neckpiece on the churl form). not only did this piece succeed in freeing me from the brainrot it also gave me more confidence in my capability to do nice full pieces digitally. so its a win win!

Caterpillar is too interesting of a character to be as forgotten about as he is in this fandom

Having finished the World Quest "Unfinished Comedy", in which we see Caterpillar expound on his experiences and thoughts regarding humanity, kindness, and atoning for past wrongs, I really want to make a comic/fic that's like:

Lumine: [genuine fondness] I met someone in prison who reminded me of you, he was an Anemo Hilichurl Rogue

Wanderer: ????? Are you insulting me??

"Plus, I tend to have a bad memory for things I don't like."

Took a break from my complicated piece I'm chipping away at to doodle my monster bf 🐛

Ultimate NPC Tournament: Round 1B

Propaganda below cut

Alice:

the ultimate trickster, mother, and sorceress - skills include magical creation, astronomy and running around teyvat. feats: she made yae miko cry, called neko a fat cat, inspired barbara to be an idol, tried to recruit ayaka for her idol group, got a gliding violation from jean, met zhongli, and became friends with yoimiya 

Caterpillar:

my poor baby boy :( he was turned into a hillichurl from his deceased remains, feels he is less than human yet is trying to atone for his sins. he is a familial figure to a little girl and still fights to stop the merging of all fontainians

if wriothesley doesn't appear in any quest once we get to remuria, what even is the point?

the parallels between wrio and king remus are crystal clear. remus who descended upon meropis (a name very familiar to anyone who knows of the fortress of meropide) in his golden fortuna, the legendary ship of remus that is also called the bringer of civilization and glory (wrio who built a ship to deal with the misfortune upon fontaine) is an example of it.

wrio also has connections to hades with the cerberus motif as guardian of the underworld. it's curious that the tower in remuria is described not only as not built to receive heavenly oracles, serving as a guide to ships traveling between islands, but also as a border of reality and dreams. if this is not necessarily literal but a metaphor or allegory, it could fit very well with the idea of a portal between domains or realms, like life and death.

wriothesley also parallels another character in the genshin universe and that person is arlecchino. they were brought up as orphans, taken in by an institution with corrupted leaders, which they reformed and achieved a leading position of. and funnily enough, she has ties to purgatory (a place for punishment, much like the fortress). as i have said in another post, purgatory has been described by dante as a tower leading to heaven. but we also know that celestia in the genshin world is associated with the demon realm - archons being named after ars goetia, an anonymous grimoire on demonology. although the concepts aren't the same in theory, is it impossible that the game has used elements of both? wriothesley and arlecchino's themes are similar enough to overlap. even though i don't expect wriothesley to be lore revelant anymore, i do think his ties to remuria and his role as someone who punishes others for their sins, much like arlecchino, is very much purposeful.
