oh my fucking god i feel. SO stupid rn at How i didnt make the (super sane very normal just absolutely. Yes. Surely) connection earlier but uhh
so anyway im now like 89% certain that whatever the "traces" of the narwhal that remain on ajax and facilitate their (ever-growing) innate connection are like. an actually fundamental aspect of it (them?) more or less.
why? because if you consider its pov just for a moment. the narwhal was literally about to depart teyvat for good. it had nearly finished consuming the primordial sea and preparing to breach surface to finish the job by eating the french for the leftovers their human bodies were made from. its an interstellar voyager it does not linger on planets it devours. it goes glug glug and it leaves.
and like if it wasnt for traveler intervening its confirmed through narzissenkreuz and renes world formula that teyvat wouldve just been destroyed. no one could have stopped the narwhal not neuvillette not focalors not anyone.
so what was the one other thing it did right before going for that french brunch? calling for ajax. getting them reunited in the primordial sea. like all the possible implications aside bc theres many different ways to speculate on the exact reasons why and the nature of that link. the point remains.
it wasnt leaving teyvat without finding him.
like the narwhal is about to fucking Dip from this cringe planet and whatever part of it that ajax carries within himself his narwhal Absolutely wanted to be reunited with. what the fuck am i supposed to read from that. hoyo???????!??! answers?!?!?!
and its not only the calling from the narwhal side itself either bc this is ALL coinciding with the growth of a 'restless power' within ajax and his vision malfunctioning (the things celestia is literally confirmed to harvest energy thru to repair its damaged authority) and his connection with the narwhal reaching an actual conscious level (arguably subconscious n emotional too bc i find it Curious his mood is poor right as the narwhal is repeatedly described as positively malding to the point its boss fight mechanic is literally a rage meter). ajax' power is growing. his destiny is starting to shift and something is drawing him to fontaine... right as the narwhal is getting close to finished with the primordial sea. funny how it overlaps eh. how it aligns 🤨🤨 why are they orbiting each other like this (they should kiss)
(& not to even Mention how ajax just Happened to get that absolutely exponential and borderline unbelievable feat of power spike in extending his foul legacy endurance as massively as he did. while. within the primordial sea. with his narwhal. who had at that point all but incorporated the power of that sea into itself. i s2g if childe was getting passive home turf co-op bonus exp with a 4x multiplier automatically the whole 40+ days 💀💀)
they will genuinely never EVER get tired of the wiggly cheer wave they've been doing since they won the cup (re: sasha forsy and stenny doing it as they came out of the locker room at 3am) and now they'll never stop you can count on THAT
well at least this time we see luosty and mikksy join in on the antics this time (usually its just lundy and sasha lmaooo)
rip to uvis trying to get a beer from the crowd and it sailing clear over him you will be sorely missed fly high angel im sure a random floridian enjoyed a free brewski that day
lundys off by himself meanwhile these three are propegating a how much tension can we generate in 17 seconds competition
mikksy is winning, luosty is not even aware this is even a competition and sasha is currently too busy with crowdwork. unsurprisingly man whos mastered the art of pinning is winning. fork found in kitchen.
(you can see his gaze bounce from sasha and the cup to coordinate the wooing to luosty having fun and like mannnn)

Listen up you idiot zoomers who think people can still make meaningful queer art past the year 2000. We all need to sit around and read USamerican comic strips from the 90s because those are pretty much the only true capture of the universal gay experience now and forever, and anything past that is unimportant schlock. And like pinkwashing I think. We have to learn queer history, thats why we need to all ignore that what Im talking about is joke comic strips from the 90s and instead revere them as the most important work created, with nothing capable of surpassing it. Anyway
am finally back home and can say without a doubt that i am just fundamentally not built for long distance travel however the train was much nicer than planes
in case anybody is wondering what kind of week im having. today on the way home from a LONG day I got myself a piece of oreo cake. my brother saw it in the fridge and asked who it belonged to. my dad went "thats your brother's support cake dont touch it" and I immediately popped into their view from the other room and went "yeah thats my emotional support cake and if any of you touch it im blowing this entire fucking house up" and my brother very quickly closed the fridge
