collei inversion/parallels in My head.

- water and fire. fire being representative of the archon residue and amber. Fire and water both being necessary for wild plants (wildfires allowing new plants to grow). she gains her vision during a storm. and! water being indicative of healing.

- vision and her archon residue. tried so hard to find the origin post for this but I can’t find it :( but the archon residue made her a vessel for a god (she’s kind of a man-made god in this way) and she used it to protect herself from others (meaning harming others) even if it also harmed her in the long run. in my ouroboros analogy this is the mouth of the snake eating the tail. her vision (the eyes of the gods) was given to her via celestia and means she could potentially become a god one day. she gains this while protecting someone and aims to use it to protect others. visions being symbolic of ambitions and the archon residue actively feeding off of and stoking her negativity.

- touch. obv touch being a huge trigger for her one large moment for her being the guy who refused to pull her up from a cliff. that being the moment she swears to never reach out to anyone for/to help. and then her willingly touching amber to protect her and her willingly letting the girl she saves sleep on her shoulder.

- purple and green. purple is often used as an indicator of something unnatural and evil and green is often used as a color indicative of good and healing. the archon residue and her eyes being purple, her hair and her in game clothes being green. even the change from her clothes from white (almost medical) to browns (earth tones).

- cats and snake. her constellation is a serval (a cat) which are natural enemies of snakes. her archon residue takes the form of a cobra. I believe that she takes partial inspiration from bastet and sekhmet who (from my understanding) both have cat motifs and myths involving fights with the great serpent apep.

- life and death. nika dreampearls likened her bandages in the wt to a mummies which I find sooo fascinating bc anubis (cyno’s inspiration) was a guide to the dead and an overseer of the mummification process. collei has a continuous theme of rebirth and growth (cats have nine lives idiom, “revived serval”, “sprout of rebirth”, etc.) with this line of thought then, her point of rebirth would be cyno sealing the archon residue. during that ritual, she actually loses her bandages (even though the archon residue technically helped slow her eleazar). AND cyno (anubis, guide of the dead) was the one to lead her to sumeru and her new home. in the windblume event she declares that she will be her own guide.

- dolls and roles. collei’s fight with kaeya ran under a metaphor of a play. I’ve talked a lot abt how collei’s constantly seeking a role to put herself into bc of what she was told growing up. she never got to be just collei she was always the experiment, the kid with eleazar, the culprit, etc etc and when she can finally choose who to be with the knowledge that she can do good, she finds herself trying to be amber instead of being herself. in her room she has a version of baron bunny (ambers doll). collei’s first successful craft was cuilein-anbar (a green cat). dolls are common toys in childhood that fill roles the person playing with them sees fit. collei wanted to be amber (baron bunny) and ultimately realized that she needs to be herself (cuilein-anbar). it’s indicative of how collei finally has control of her own story. furthermore, there’s a wt cover where both she and amber are puppets.

- divinity and humanity. collei is a vessel for a god because of experiments by a man who wants to elevate a human to godhood. she has so much hatred for the gods and by extension for anyone with a vision bc she believes that the gods favor them over those with eleazar. but she later gains a vision (again, the eyes of a god). collei realizes that nahida may have been as trapped as her. her story runs so closely to nahida in a way. collei was denied her humanity and seen as inhuman in spite of her mortality because it made exploitation easier to justify. nahida was dehumanized as a god because of her youth and replaced with a man made god because they wanted to exploit her nation.

"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?

Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.

when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?
