On THAT NOTE it was so interesting in the half anniversary event how there’s so many parallels between Jiu Niangzi and Getian despite being extremely different characters

Jiu is young and new to the world she was basically out there without any guidance before Ms. Xu then after she was even more alone. She was pretty old all things considered she was already past toddler age when she had to be taught how to be a person and the only instruction she was given by the one person who knew what she was and the circumstances behind birth was to help others and it’ll tell her why her mother had her.

Then Getian is considerably old as a Miemeng but he grew up under the care of the other people of his tribe after they migrated to the mountains around Pei City. He was cared for growing up and sheltered but he held a lot of apathy and disinterest in other people like his kin. One of the scenes when he’s reminiscing is with him talking with one of if not the only person left on the mountain saying he may be the only one left to gather all their kin. Getian fundamentally just didn’t want or care about giving people advice or helping others like how Jiu did. After all of his kin were gone he had learnt all of the skills they kept with them and brought with them through life and past death.

Jiu’s storyline is struggling between being a human and a Xiangrui because with Ms. Xu she found the reasons behind her mother leaving her realm to be with humans without realizing it. Even her notable items include tokens from other people of Pei City. She values items and artifacts from the people around her and worldly things and even after the story when she’s with the Timekeeper her lines talk about how she doesn’t realize when she became a human she also became the Xiangrui she sought to be.

Also side note on that it’s SO fun that she gets along with Jessica cause she’s a horse and Jessica is a fawn. Jiu also had a similar childhood to her where she had to be taught by others on how to be with others. But it’s a really fun dynamic between them with how they both sought to be someone or something they didn’t realize they already were. Jiu has always been a Xiangrui and Jessica has always been someone interesting and fun to be around.

The thing I love about them both is that though they’re pretty humanoid all of their actions and words reveal that they’re far from it. Sure there’s a ton of kinds of people besides arcanists, like Ezra’s our first human, Spathodea is a reincarnator, we have awakeneds ands spirits, even a dog. But Getian and Jiu really radiate an otherworldly vibe to them from a mix of the culture shown in R99’s Eastern Regions and their upbringing being very detached from others with Getian being physically away from others and Jiu always having it in the back of her mind that she CANT be human but it really mixes together to make a very interesting and different vibe to them. Good brain soup

In UTTU during both of their interviews they each have different insights on it and how they express it but like a lot of people in Pei City they simply don’t see arcanists and humans as any different from each other. They’re both people with different skill sets but nonetheless we all breathe the same air. It was such a fun event cause it really showed something new we haven’t gotten much of at all in the game so far and that’s Reverse 1999’s OWN culture. They show so many cultures so well around the world and so wonderfully but the only events I can really think of that dive into how their world works is Jessica’s [The Old One Flew Over The House] for how arcanists get registered in perpetual 1999 or 2007, Notes from Shuori, and the Uluru Games with how sports culture works.

More Reverse 1999 fan art hehehe

Getian my beloved

I decided to draw Getian because I finally got him and love his design a lot and figured trying to paint his portrait might help me get back into art as a warm up. I think I am finally figuring out how to paint which makes me happy so expect more paintings from me in the future.

I love this funny birb man so much I am currently building him but I also got Lucy so I have been working on her and ran out of resources sadly.

Bessemert was so fun but I’ll never get over how the event could’ve been cut in half if Getian wasn’t literally horrified by her at the start. Like there’s a whole scene later of him with Yenisei talking about how he told the first city official all about the situation with people getting enchanted into horses before she got sent away cause they didn’t believe em so logically he WOULDVE done the same with Bessemer but he literally told Yeni something like “when I looked at her something told me to run away to the ends of the earth” WHAT???? After when they meet one another he admits that “it’s cause I can’t read your bones” which is CRAZYYYYYYYYYYY for an arcanum skill that can literally read someone’s true potential cant even see where Bessemer bloodline was from was insane. Like imagine someone’s cursing people in the city below your house where all your people left to and you’re trying to see what you do to stop that from happening as the Getians (his ppl all use the last name Getian but since they’re all gone he’s using it as his name now) final will to be Meimings to people. Then one day during that stressful situation someone shows up next to a ton of cursed people and all you see from them is the void staring back at you-

[Features of Bones] isn’t just understanding where someone’s been and who they’re related to. [Features of Bones] works very similar to Pandora Wilson’s ability for the Arcanist pages IN GAME. Like he can use it to tell someone’s past, but ALSO their future unless they have a significant event changing their persona at some point. One of his lines talks about how to change your fate you need to change yourself down to your very bones which with how Pandora compared their arcanum’s as complimenting each other you can take the stretch that to change your bones means to change your “fragrance note, medium, dimension, and form (Pandora UTTU)”

“One's bones provide support. Beneath the skin lies flesh and blood; beneath flesh and blood lie tendons and veins. All are housed by the skeleton.

Beyond these chaotic, soft things, Features of Bones is the root of what we become.

Understanding Features of Bones allows one to comprehend all things. (Getian UTTU)

Pandora confirms that her arcanum allows her to read surface level traits about an Arcanist whereas Getian’s allows him to see what’s underneath.
