#genshin the nameless bard

venti is such a sweet guy

like,,, he's forever gonna be in the form of the nameless bard yknow? forever keeping his friend's face in people's memories, he obviously can change forms yknow yet to keep him friend alive in a sense, he decides to stay in the form of the nameless bard, which is a bit sweet of him yknow.. his friend is very dear to him obviously, he was the one who taught venti the meaning of freedom, he was one of the leaders of the rebellion against decarabian

but its also sad, because hes free to be whatever he wants, yet he restricts himself into looking like the nameless bard, not giving himself the freedom to look like whatever, just so he can keep the memory of his dear friend alive

i wonder how many times he has looked at his reflection and thought "would the life i have now be the life you would have had if you had not died?"

i usually see venti no longer looking identical to the nameless bard presented as a tragedy, like he doesn't even remember their face anymore. but i would like to propose it as a bittersweet joy.

he used to look just like them (but his cheeks are rounder and rosier now from good food and drink) he used to look just like them (but his skin is darker now from days spent under the sun) he used to look just like them (but when he is ready - when he is ready, his face will start to crease from the repetition of his smiles)

the bard's legacy not as an unchanging statue, but a seed, to be carried forwards until it blooms into something unrecognizable but lovely all the same.

i wonder how many times venti looks at mondstadt and thinks "the nameless bard would've loved it here" and then immediately grow sad, he misses him and that emotional pain quickly grows and consumes him, it hurts it hurts it hurts...

he wished the nameless bard was still with him, he wished that the nameless bard saw the beautiful blue sky, its sunset and sunrise, the calm breeze, the beautiful landscape beyond old mondstadt

but he never will, and that hurts venti a lot
