#hat radish

nahida being a little unsettling is so important to me. she's cute with it but there's something off

[stardustdiiving]

Thinking about how Wanderer appreciates Nahida giving him a chance & considers himself indebted to her as a result but on some level thinks he just isn’t worth the effort of trying to help, especially on the grounds of finding companionship :(

She genuinely believes in him and Wanderer isn’t used to people doing that….he can tell she does but can’t help being really cynical about it even though you know he wants a sense of purpose and fulfillment more than anything…but he’ll learn it slowly wiht time now that he has ppl who genuinely support him as a person instead of encouraging him to dehumanize himself….sniff

She wants him to make friends !!!!!!!!!!!

everyone’s talking about how hat guy has become a sumeru icon because of sethos’ demo, and it’s left me wondering what if nahida has been going around and hyping him up to everyone? like “omg yeah my right hand man hat guy, he’s just the coolest ever!!”

Guys I just bought a new sketchbook and I haven't been able to draw in a while. Right? WELL. Turns out all the tools in digital art was making me think that my art needs to be perfect. Uhhhh I spent an hour or two filling out a page in my new sketchbook finally having fun drawing again.

Yea it's all Nahida and Wanderer. Ty Hat Radish for making me enjoy drawing again!!!

Also important thing to note I drew all of this with a Nahida pencil my friends got me for my birthday

UR SO REAL FOR THIS I think the essence of rehabilitate stray cat wanderer jokes has to be in the spirit of it being like a Lilo and Stitch kind of friendship more than anything NSJNDJD Wanderer is a very fiercely independent person sometimes to a detrimental degree, he doesn’t need someone to take care of him he just needs to let himself trust other people enough to have emotional connections and companionship again

can we ao3ers please get some wanderer adopting nahida instead of her adopting him. it'd be really awesome thanks.

So my personal stance on Wanderer’s relationship with the Aranara is that when he’s first settling into Sumeru he has a habit of going off into the rainforest to brood, and this results in Nahida asking the Aranara to keep an eye on him and/or help her find him (which is how, for instance, she’s able to find him so easily in his 2023 birthday letter). For a while Wanderer genuinely has no idea how Nahida keeps tracking him down until he one day catches one of the Aranara peeking at him from the bushes and remembers Nahida has an entire army of little guys watching over the forest he’s trying to dramatically storm off in, which of course ruins the effect + his chances of being able to be cynical about the world in a canopy somewhere in undisturbed peace.

Whats additionally terrible about this is recently he told Nahida to stop making the Aranara supervise him, and she happily informed him she actually hasn’t asked them to do that in a while, so if it looks like the Aranara are still following him around, it’s probably because they’re “curious about” and have “taken a liking to” him. Nahida unfortunately also does not take Wanderer seriously when he insists that “such surveillance is cruel and unusual punishment for a prisoner” and that the “personal freedoms he is entitled to under Sumeru law are being violated”. She instead laughs in the face of his suffering (giggles at him) and suggests he should try to introduce himself to the Aranara because she thinks that he would quote “get along” with them.

Wanderer, frankly, finds this absurd and wholly unnecessary. He doesn’t even know why they’ve “taken a liking to him” or have burdened them with their silly, gourd shaped whimsical presences when apparently it’s predominately Only children and any adults who’ve “maintained their sense of childlike wonder” or whatever that can see them. Wanderer is possibly the furtherest thing from either category and concludes they probably “trust” him because he’s “friends” with their Archon or something. Its utterly baffling, but he can’t really do much about it, because what’s he supposed to do? Go out of his way to chase off a bunch of silly harmless little guys every time he goes wandering?? Definitely not. He has far more important things to worry about

I think one day, though, Wanderer ends up stumbling across an Aranara getting chased around by monsters and really has no choice but to intervene because a) the thing was so helpless it was kind of tragic and b) Nahida would probably be upset with him if he let one of her Aranara get terrorized by monsters. This is when everything truly starts going downhill, because the Aranara he saved was apparently VERY big on running its mouth, so now ALL of them are even More obsessed with him and encroach on him even More whenever he’s in the forest.

To make matters worse he also makes the mistake of offering one (1) Aranara a single small pastry (ONE time. As an experiment) and now they keep offering him bizarrely cooked food to return the favor and he really has no choice but to pack snacks for them everytime he enters their domain. Its completely out of control and he doesn’t know why Nahida finds such dire circumstances so amusing. They keep sitting on his hat and roping them into playing hide and seek with him. Unbelievable . (He finds them very cute and amusing to talk to due to the sheer intensity of their good natured whimsy. Its kind of cathartic) (he would never admit this)

the last battle section where theyre running for their lives and you dont know if theyre gonna make it and deli just keeps failing those con saves and he says he'll run his body into the boulders taking whatever damage he needs to knowing full well he only has a couple hp left but he should be able to make death saves right bc its just poison damage and colins a knight so he should have some medicine skills he can make a medicine check and deli will be fine right?? this was the anxiety going through my head i stg ive never felt stakes like that since the cathedral fight it was so fucking good
