having "childlike wonder" doesn't mean a character is "childish" or a little baby

childlike wonder is an attitude: of finding joy in the mundane and enjoying the simpler things in life. Having an inherent interest and excitement in new things, places, and experiences. Wanting to take in every detail of something, even if it's something small. It drives exploration and discovery, wanting to know how the world works and figure it all out. Having inquisitive minds. Being fascinated by the world around oneself. Being open to new perspectives.

childlike wonder doesn't mean "childish."

Yeah. I believe Alhaitham can see Aranara. It makes perfect sense because he has every quality listed above.

Yes: Alhaitham has childlike wonder. No, he is not childish. There is a distinction between "childlike wonder" and "being childish"

So can he see Aranara? Most likely yes, it's probably canon: Web events have always been that way anyway, always introducing you to the characters and their respective personalities and interactions if there are any. Web events are canon in the sense that: if the scenario happening in the event took place, this is how the character would act in said scenario.

Yes, I do think there is enough evidence he can see them just looking at his character as a whole: plus why else would the Sumeru lobby have us turn into Aranara if almost the entire Sumeru cast were adults that the Aranara don't inherently trust? The only character who would've been there in that case would've been Nahida but we had Alhaitham and Nilou as well? And it makes sense for them to be able to see the Aranara so like. I was actually completely unsurprised that Alhaitham and Nilou could see them so uhhh-

oh and also. to the ppl who say "Kaveh can't see the Aranara bcz he's traumatized" girlie. the one child in Yoimiya's quest was going through such a traumatic illness and she could still see them.

Kaveh can't see the Aranara not because he's traumatized or whatever. but because he's pushed away his past. Kaveh is actively removing himself from childlike wonder in favour of idealism: he is constantly chasing after his goals, constantly trying to do more and more, constantly striving for perfection that he forgets the mundane, everyday things in life due to the sheer amount of stress he is putting on himself on a day-to-day basis. Kaveh is also not open to new perspectives; following his own ideals to a point and shutting away anything that contradicts his ideals. He is not an inherently curious character either; we've only seen him comment on a few things that pique his curiosity (i.e. the one voice line abt lightning) but as a whole, he's not interested in much else if it doesn't have to do with the arts or things he is passionate about which is unlike Alhaitham who seems to take an interest in literally everything other than gossip.

again: childlike wonder and being childish are different things, PLEASE understand that...

i might have 50 million people come at my throat for my take on all this but like ykw idgaf: I'm entitled to my opinion and this is how i see the whole situation.

I do think people who said it's "out-of-character" for Alhaitham to see Aranara are either mischaracterizing him or they don't understand what exactly it takes for Aranara to be seen by adults. Maybe it's both; i know a lot of people skipped the Aranara quest dialogue, and, for the longest time, Alhaitham has been one of the most wildly mischaracterized characters in the fandom (and still is being mischaracterized to this day unfortunately) so idk tbh.

and ppl always say Nilou is bland so like... i don't think ppl pay much attention to her at all which is unfortunate because she's really silly actually. Nilou stan number 1 right here tbh.

idk it's just my thoughts on it: yeah I do think it can be seen as "basically canon" but I don't think it should be used to justify "omg!! hahahahah they're so childish lmaoo!! alhaitham and nilou are such babies ahahah!"

like. gen. nuh uh. what.

yes i call them babies because they're my babies but that's just bcz i like their characters, i called them that even before this whole fiasco with the aranara... so like. uhm.

this was way longer than i planned it to be. sorry for the yapfest holy.

considered not posting this but eh who cares, it's just my take lol

"It's so rare for R to be in her right mind for a spell. Should she really be wasting the precious little lucid time she has writing this?" "Don't worry. For a witch, this is the most important thing."

you mean to be telling me that it's an explicit point that rhinedottir is rarely in the proper state to do spells and write things like this. and of all the choices she had not to. she chooses to write it and places importance (read. it's established as the MOST IMPORTANT THING too.) in spending said-precious-time to write something with her friends commemorating andersdotter. hoyo i need youto stare me in the eyes and real the implications of rhinedottir expending what the other's are describing as her "precious little lucid time" to commemorate and make an ode to her dead friend HOYOPLEAS

A sleeper's not a keeper, She's a one-night blind date!

2017 Workshop Belle, or Reverie, as I renamed her!

She's wearing matching hair bonnet and silk dressing gown, black hold-ups with green garters, and a light green bodysuit with a short lace skirt. These triangular things on her face are face pads for skincare.

i don't have coherent thoughts atm but i cannot stop thinking about the scene with aelia comforting lark and opening her arms to call ta'via to join. i cannot stop thinking about how she trusted her husband and swallowed her pride to welcome ta'via in her own way, the best she could. she cares about that pirate and she loves her husband so much, she will be dammed if she won't do her best to make sure her husband gets the happiness they deserve.

im unwell about all of them but about aelia solar-oaks especially.

Starlight Reverie - Genshin Impact (2/4)

[voodoo-lavoo]

I got a new mouse today and decided I was going to start a new world in Minecraft and call it Velaris and try to recreate the city of starlight. I started looking at some reference images and honestly, I have never in my life wanted to be in a fictional world so much. I was honestly just nearly brought to tears because I am so in love with the idea of this world. The magic, beauty, happiness, adventure, the city made to be seen under the stars. When I die, if there is some version of “heaven” that exists, I want to be able to live the lives of characters I have read in books, to throw myself into a different reality, trials and tribulations with it. id fight the middengard worm, id shoot a shapeshifting wolf in the face to feed my family. If I got to live in a world of magic, I would do it. I did think, well would you know that it was a different reality and you had to play along? Or could you be born into the world, then occasionally when you sleep in this reality, your pulled out and asked whether or not you would like to continue, having all of your memories of the reality you are in, and the understanding of your decision to enter that reality, you basically know your dead and this is heaven, ya get me? Honestly, if that existed, or If I knew that would happen when I die, oof. You would have to hold me back from cliff edges and sharp knives. I fucking love fantasy worlds. Get me to Velaris and while you’re at it, let me on the Enterprise. I want to be in fucking space too.

also this is a staged photo i took called Reverie, because i always dream with my eyes open.
