every time someone mischaracterizes nuanced character relationships and turns it into a basic parent-child dynamic, i die a little inside
my main gripe with this is about nahida being called scara's mom/aunt but it also extends to zhongli & xiao, beidou & kazuha, wriothesley & sigewinne, neuvillette & furina, and others.
like. i enjoy found family as much as everyone else, but that is a terrible injustice to the characters' writing. the character typecast as the child is infantilized to hell and back while the other character is reduced to a 2d caricature of the perfect parent. Bruh
don't get me wrong, headcanons are fine and all, it just irks me that some people consider it lore accurate when it really isn't
#with nahida and scara it's dumb bc 1) nahida had absolutely no involvement in scara's upbringing#and 2) nahida herself is still a child (albeit godly) with her own growth & development to go through#also it's funny that nahida is older even tho scara is physically and arguably mentally more mature#they both have a lot to learn from each other#if anything i'd rather think of them as siblings#zhongli also had no involvement w xiao's upbringing and regards him more like an equal than anything else#beidou did take in kazuha when he needed a refuge but it wasn't in a parental way#sigewinne has known wrio ever since he got sent to meropide and watched him grow up#neuvi and furina... *gestures vaguely at the entirety of 4.2* yeah#idk man i have a lot of thoughts on this#genshin impact#character dynamics#genshin impact headcanons#nahida#scaramouche#wanderer genshin#zhongli#xiao#beidou#kaedehara kazuha#wriothesley#sigewinne#neuvillette#furina
