#sort of venty

[snowy-bones]

I kind of feel bad for you admin. Not meaning to offend, it just sort of feels like you're left to the side? I'm really not trying to offend or make anyone upset. You just seem to be dropped alot?

Gonna be real honest about this kinda topic. I'm not offended by it and I'm okay to talk about it, but this will be the last time I do. The best way I can put this is that I am mostly used by others as the temp form of entertainment until the real want is around or the new shiny appears. It's just the facts.

I can't deny it nor can it be disproven. I am easy to forget about, and I am often pushed away and avoided, and this has been done by not only blood family but people who were claiming to want friendship. I know I can be a lot and I deal with own fears about it.

It deals with US as a system, we are alot and we have alot of trauma lol. And I personally am just longing for friendship. The past 8 years I have been backstabbed by so many and I am still healing.

I question myself a lot due to these events, my system questions themselves. It hurts alot, and we can't lie about that. It's not okay, it's really not. Being avoided and ignored and used like toys when it's convenient. Being dropped so shortly after getting just a little bit of attention. Thinking we made a friend but it isn't so.

With all of this being said, I as myself know what my place is, and will always know that I am the backburner friend. I will not be the first choice, and I have come to accept that. As much as it hurts, and the system here has come to accept that we will not be the first choice.

So we will be quiet about it, and we will smile and keep going. We will just continue on with our own lives. Whatever happens happens at this point. We have to be our own support because we are too much, and no one can truly be there for us mentally.

But I'm guessing this is what you wanted to hear right? Because this subject keeps coming up. So here you go nonni. My honest opinion and feelings. As well as some of the alter's as well. Now...this is the last ask I will be answering on this subject.

No one is obligated to interact with us, no one is obligated to be around us or be here for us. We just want to exist and live life. And we are going to do just that.

Please no more of these. Let's keep the topics nice and happy okay? Thank you! 💙

send me "💡" and i’ll tell you a something about my muse that I had considered, but ended up not using for their story - For N!

Less so "consider" and moreso "I've swapped back and forth like....4 times", but the default version I have for N constantly changes. He was depicted with Reshiram a lot more frequently for a while, but I always felt like his goals aligned more closely with "ideals", which is Black version, so I guess I've landed on that again? But really, I think it just made me realize that I guess I can't bother to care about that anymore.

There was some small part of me that really, REALLY wanted to ignore Black and White 2 entirely or write out some alternative in between, or at least cop-out Nate/Rosa. I've grown out of this, but I'm still very, VERY salty over a lot of simpler plot directions Black and White 2 took after Black and White blew me out of the water. I get it. I want to be over it. But honestly, I still can't find the will to bring myself to play it over at any consistent rate again.

Thing who Came Back Wrong but nobody noticed

[brookriver]

some silly robot designs

their silly lore:

Judicator is a Predacon who survived the Cataclysm with amnesia and a damaged T-Cog; he's vaguely aware that he used to have a different altmode, and also feels a bit...out of place among others, but he sets that aside in favor of focusing on his work. Hardly anyone knows his actual name; Judicator is his title.

Vent's just a normal musician, don't worry about it! The fact that he keeps singing songs about things he couldn't possibly know about or events that have yet to occur is just happenstance; he's a very good storyteller, you know.

Leafnode is a walking, talking terminal for Vector Sigma. This drew some unwanted attention from the High Council, who upon discovering her unique traits, quickly squirreled her away for "protection".

Tayef and Ahangar are, respectively, a clerk for the High Council and an architect. Both before and after the war, actually! Ahangar's not super happy that the planet had to get the scrap kicked out of it for him to get as much work as he does now; Tayef's just happy he managed to get his old job back.

had someone recently near-totally blow up their relationship with me bc they were afraid to fuck it up by talking to me and thus ruining my opinion of them, which was surely much higher from a distance. and from this? i have learned nothing.

i like venti a very normal amount,,

he means a world to me and i can write a lengthy essay on how important he’s to the story lore, his overall story, how he impacted every aspect of my life and-

anyways, happy b-day to Venti!!

[three-bunnies-in-a-trenchcoat]

Still so funny to me that no one in Mondstadt (except maybe Kaeya) suspects that Venti is Barbatos. There's a giant statue of himself in the middle of the city, he barely tries to hide it, and no one has any clue

I see people's modern AU idol Ventis but consider: modern Venti as an internet musician akin to Brian David Gilbert or Jazz Emu.

Venti doing things like this:

How evil is arlecchino and what is she cooking

As of 4.2, I’m really curious what they’re planning with Arlecchino as a character, especially as a villain/antagonist/morally dubious character, and how far/which direction they may go with that

Intuitively my impression is we’ll see her do something way more “villainous” than she presents herself as being for majority of Fontaine’s AQ in front of us right—(which isn’t a surprise given that, you know, Arlecchino nor the House of Hearth have never been presented as 110% ethical LOL) but I find myself not being in complete agreement with most analysis or speculation threads I see about Arlecchino’s morality and the like, level of sinister people seem to ascribe to her.

Idk how to put it, especially in regards to her children I do agree they are not a wholesome found family, that Arlecchino is not above pulling strings or using them for her own ulterior motives, but I kind of hesitate on the idea she only cares about the Hearth children as a means to the end/things she can control and there’s nothing else going on with her characterization wise there. I’m not saying that impression seems remotely unreasonable or unfounded, but just that it feels there’s something intentionally missing in how we are supposed to conceptualize her as a person

My main reasoning for this hunch is the fact they have not elaborated on Arlecchino and the previous Knave—who Arlecchino is stated to have taken over the position from by force. The extra tidbits I think about are that 1) Arlecchino was previously an orphan in the Hearth 2) the previous Knave is described as way, way crueler to the children of than Heart than Arlecchino was from when she took control of the House

Often, people’s major indicators that the House of the Hearth is kind of super fucked up are the NPCs we meet in world quests who are part of it and clearly suffering. But one thing I haven’t ever seen people mention w this that i think is a very interesting detail is, in The Very Special Fortune Slip Inazuma worldquest, where we stop this House of Hearth guy (Efim Snezhevich) from manufacturing tension between Watasumi/the Shogunate to restart the war with his other Hearth subordinates, at the end of the quest we get this dialogue that reveals he had been acting under the previous Knave’s directives:

It’s also mentioned he’s employing this plan in an attempt to “rebuild the prestige of the Knave” following Signora’s death, iirc? Now, see, the dialogue itself says that this is “assuming our captive is telling the truth” so who knows what’s really going on, but I find this a really odd/interesting thing to highlight. I’m a bit fuzzy on other world quests with Hearth members, and am not saying none of them were acting and subsequently being treated poorly by our Arlecchino, but like, this gives me a lot of questions especially when paired with implications this previous Knave seemed to be way worse

Like, what drove Arlecchino to take over? How unexpected and controversial was this within the House? Assuming the above information is all true it definitely says something this guy went rogue and acted on what the previous Knave would want and didn’t think our Arlecchino would greenlight it, which does feel consistent with the previous Knave being described as basically worse & crueler than our Arlecchino. It also makes me question how much house of hearth things we’ve seen outside the main story are the work of our Arlecchino or if there’s a bigger divide of loyalty. Heck, I could be wrong but it doesn’t even seem like we know if the previous Knave is dead or not

This isn’t me saying Arlecchino couldn’t possibly be treating hearth children worse than she wants us to know, especially ones who aren’t her “favorites” the way the fontaine trio seem to be, but I really don’t feel sure about making a solid conclusion of her exact level of malice the way ppl r generally understanding it rn when it feels there’s going to be more about her. Just the idea of she, as a Hearth child, clashed with the previous leader who was known for being cruel, overtook their position and took on less harsh methods of leading that made at least some members with more power/possible closer proximity to the previous Knave go rogue and try to commit atrocities in the previous Knave’s name…I feel this leaves a lot of room to suggest there’s more going on with how Arlecchino is as a person

I don’t mind if she’s just very evil and deceptive bc if she totally had me fall for thinking she was less evil than she actually was that’s fun tbh. But I feel people suggest that’s all her character could be with no degree of like, “sympatheticness” or deep grey morality and that if her character did go there it would be automatically poor writing and genshin walking back on making a truly evil woman when IDK. I feel you can claim at this point they have left it open ended and it’s never been completely confirmed she’s pure evil. Also sometimes I just get a hunch and feel cautiously confident in Genshin executing certain characters well. Not all characters, just certain ones. Especially given Fontaine’s character writing being very good and a character like Lyney feeling very solid to me when any development with Arlecchino would likely involve him and his siblings as well, I honestly feel open to the idea of Arlecchino being satisfyingly written to be both villainous/morally dubious but “sympathetic/likable as a person” in ways outside of just her ruthlessness if that makes sense

If I’m wrong/they drop the ball with it more than I anticipate I’ll eat my hat but I am pretty excited about her character and which way they decide to go with it. I will say the only potential impression I have of where they’ll go with her has been wondering if it will go in a “cycles of abuse” direction—I’d be surprised if they ever elaborated on Arlecchino’s character especially in how she feels about things and her also growing up as an exploited child of the hearth wasn’t relevant

I want Furina and Venti interactions sooooo bad. They can gush about their dragons and music and overthrowing the heavens together.

[gierosajie]

(key jangling noise) i have been spinning corrupted venti in my head for the past several days and my conclusion is that he should get to be absolutely deranged. braids half-undone, wings gross and molty, possibly some sort of corrupted weapon just lodged in there (what is the convenient hole in his top for otherwise really). he shambles and lurches around like he doesn't quite know how to work his body, just chucks arrows at you with pure force because he can no longer string a bow. definitely muttering incomprehensible Evil Poetry the whole time. put him in the WASHING MACHINE!!!!!

Oooh!

Venti becoming something like a very torn piece of clothing barely hanging on it's last threads as it's put through a rough wash cycle. Possibly multiple times

It's like whatever corruption is happening there is absolutely scrambling even his very essence just enough to keep his general form, but it's bad enough that he's falling apart trying to do the usual motions

Ooc: I fucking hate childeren holy fucking shit I hate kids so fucking much

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

I’m rereading cyanide narwhal and I’m curious (sorry if this has been asked before) like. What do the original timeline gods make of everything when Celestia, Beelzebul and Rex Lapis return?

i don't think it's been asked before, no worries

i think- like in any other scenario i'd tell you rex lapis and raiden sit everyone down and then tell them all that happened? and then it's a sort of... have you seen those tiktoks where they have 'no me diga' as the music and they film themselves telling their friends some absolute horrendous tea and only record the reactions of complete and utter shock but no actual audio? like that. so rex lapis and raiden give them a rundown and everyone else is like ????????????? WHAT???????

but like.

by the time they come back, literally the only god there to do that with is nahida, and she sort of collapses as soon as irminsul reconnects with the abyss. they do tell her and she does have an ?????????? reaction when they do (after she's recovered). as for the others, though, they decide to wait for everyone to reappear at first? and for a long-ass while it's only venti, and he manages to bully the info out of them at some point bc furina/neuvillette and natlan's god are taking forever to show up.

basically it's what i first mentioned but not all at once. first is nahida. then it's venti, and he like- turns to look at naida like are they fr????? and she just gives him a dead tired look like yeah. yeah they fr.

and then the exact same thing happens whenever furina and neuvillette show up. except neuvillette is like WHAT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S ALL IT TOOK TO GET RID OF THEM???????????? (furina: do you like... still want to put the others on trial or.. neuvillette: give me like a century to sleep this one off. what the fuck)

and then i'd wager natlan's archon(s?) would also have their own ??????? reaction.

[princesscrystal-hyperfixations]

I BEAT THE MONDSTADT ARCHON QUEST LET'S GOOOOO

So fun! Augh, I loved playing as Venti when fighting Dvalin! (I only played as him, lol).

The cutscene with Signora...oouuuggghhh boy that scene HURT to watch. I physically felt pain whenever Venti got hurt.

Like...UGH. OW.

Also, uh...why is the Abyss Order after VENTI's power in particular, hmmm? You don't see them trying to do that with any other Archon now, do you? Why Venti in particular? HMMMM?

Either way, had a blast! Most fun I had in a long while!
