there is a person standing 73 yards some distance away, watching you. they look like they’re trying to tell you something. you can’t get away from them, nor can you get close to them. they’re just...standing there.

so your friends and loved ones try to help you by talking to them, and the person must be saying something to them, because they look at you differently now. but you have no idea what it was, all you hear is static.

you try to tell them not to listen to the person, but no matter what you do, no matter how much you plead with them, they look up at you with suspicion-hatred-fear and just run. they don’t care where they’re going, just that you’re not there. and you can’t do anything to stop it.

the more that the people in your life care about you, the worse it is, because anyone who tries to help is turned against you. so you are just gradually shut out of your own life by the people you love the most, until eventually you no longer recognize your surroundings.

Hey uh. Am I misinterpreting something or have you been implying that the entire changeling situation sucks for more reasons than “bad things happen if the changeling gets caught”. Like am I misinterpreting something or are you saying it’s directly terrible, at least the process, for the godkid???

Fifth Consequence of becoming a Fairy: Alterations of the Soul.

The child's body undergoes Physical Changes to become a fairy, but they also undergo a metaphysical change as well. The soul must be adjusted, shaped, broken and remade. These changes allows the child to accept magic into their body, and handle any disruptions in time or perception.

Their soul is transformed into their proper Fairy's Crown, and the child would have officially become a True Pixie! Yippiiiie!!

Thankfully, this part of the process is painless! Or, well, more like Timmy fell unconscious during it. Though Timmy says he sometimes feels strange moments of loss. Like an essential part of himself has been ripped away from where it should be.

we are so lucky as a fandom that Tom chose improv comedy instead of becoming a model like the universe intended

So yes I have been losing my mind over the Interlude Teaser. So many thoughts, but I'm going to focus on one in particular, My New Favorite Theory.

Istaroth just is Venti.

Not a child, not a fragment, not some other relation, just is Venti. We know he has transformation powers, he used them to take his dead friend's form. Basically, he just lied to us about being a singular wind spirit. Not sure if the nameless bard knew or not, but I'd like to imagine Venti just took the form of a wind spirit to get away from all the shades stuff. And then they befriend the bard and co, get caught up in the rebellion, and when their friend dies, they take his form.

And along the way, they start to really enjoy being Barbatos, being Venti. Slowly but surely, Mondstadt stops worshiping time and only worships the wind. Yes occasionally they have to meet up with the other shades as Istaroth, and it's a miserable sad time, but then when she gets to be Venti, just a little guy, he is having a great time (for the most part).

... I see you 🏳️‍⚧️

Genshin would never do a proper trans version of this, but one can dream. But even beyond that, soooooo much drama potential. Maybe during the cataclysm Tsaritsa found out that Venti was secretly upper management and got suuuuuuppper pissed hence their falling out. Istaroth as Time is probably the cause of Errosion, which effects even his fellow gods. They probably did some nasty things for the Heavenly Principles. The traveler asking about the Unknown God, and Venti going "yeah definitely don't know her, she's definitely not my sister (?) or something noooooooo"

Also during the teaser Istaroth is like, "does Asmoday need to be here... maybe she swapped sides, let's stop talking about her...." There's the theory that the Asmoday was sealed away, and Venti probably has some kind of sealing magic... (also the sustainer is dying from that one line that was translated kind of wrong so most don't know that lol). Ista what did u dooooooo. Or they are on the same side, and she's covering for her, that is also a possibility. But Istaroth being a little traitor stabbing her sister(?) in the back is funnier to me.

But yes, back to specifically Venti being Istaroth, here's a fun piece of evidence. While the webtoon is dubiously canon, I still find this fun:

Oh hello there three suspicious figures. The other three shades perhaps... god Venti being the rebellious runaway sibling is sooooooooo compelling to me. Absolutely miserable as a Shade, as Istaroth, but finds joy in humanity and fights to protect their freedom. AHHHHH the best of boys.

The Killer species dysphoria is making me think a lot about the "your soul is becoming more like mine" line

Yeah! Gets even more interesting if you go with the idea how some characters in Undertale eventually start not seeing Frisk as human.

Saying things along the lines of, “Hahaha... you're not really human, are you? No... you're empty inside, just like me. In fact, you're Chara, right?”

“My brother would really like to see a human. So it would really help me out... if you kept pretending to be one.”

“The way you shamble about from place to place...”

“Human... no, WHATEVER you are. For the sake of everyone's hopes and dreams... I, UNDYNE, will STRIKE YOU DOWN!”

“What kind of monster are you? Sorry, I cannot tell.”

I’d imagine Killer heard many things similar to these things during his and Chara’s Genocides, although more along the lines of no longer being a monster and not being Sans. And perhaps this is something Chara reinforced.

And considering how Stage 2 was said to exist in the state that it does precisely because Sans is fighting back against Determination, that makes it neither human nor monster. Stage 4 was described as “Chara wins, feels nothing.”

And during the Stage 4 comic, the Chara in Killer’s head commented that Stage 4 was “getting worse.”

Perhaps Stage 4 is exactly what Chara meant when they said Sans’ soul was becoming like theirs—something not monster anymore, not human either, the way they are no longer human.

The way they’re apparently the demon that comes when you call its name. However, Sans’ soul was fighting back—creating Stage 2; who certainly is like Something New Chara in terms of mindset, behavior, and a bit of personality (also said to be similar to Flowey as well.) Rahafwabas did describe Killer’s soul as a war between two souls— a monster soul, and a Determination soul.

I’d imagine this really does fuck with Killer a lot; especially when his body doesn’t match up with his identity, and his self perception. Could very easily lead to a lot of species dysphoria. A lot of, “What am I?”

Cavetown wasn’t for the “weird kids,” it was for the kids who would violently sob themself to sleep becuase they weren’t born in the right body

[authoratmidnight]

DAMN, even the other characters are looking at them and going 'so, when are they getting married?'

also, gotta love that his only two options for what was going on in there were either 'plotting a murder' or 'getting engaged'. no in between.

The absolute biggest thing I've learned as a trans guy: there is nothing more masculine and manly than not caring about looking or acting masculine or manly. Growing your masculinity or manhood takes time and care - you have no obligation to let the world water your garden when you can do that just fine (and you can, even if it doesn't feel like you can!)
