#to talk to

I absolutely HATE how in some fics, people portray the Nameless Bard as someone passive, submissive little boy and a “sweet uwu baby boy who can’t stand up for himself”. Like. Sir????? Are we talking about the same character?

No, he would not back himself away from turning down someone’s request because he’s too timid to say “no”. No, he would not let people’s demands walk all over him. No, he would not act like he has not been taught the basic principles of setting boundaries between himself and others.

Like be for real, man’s lore STATES that he straight up came to CHALLENGE GOD, started an undoubtedly huge rebellion AGAINST HIS OWN RULER, has formed a lot of people to rebel by his side and not to mention it should take MONTHS, and if not, YEARS to form a plan so revolutionary and a rebellion so tightly-knit and strong to take down a god.

Because for some reason these people (whom I’d rather not specify,) clearly write him like they have not read his lore. If you’d seriously tried to understand him and put yourself in his shoes, we should be taking consideration to what he must’ve gone through to form a revolution this big, and how the hell he kept it secret from his ruler so discreetly.

Imagine the amount of doubt he went through when trying to convince people to aid in his cause.

Imagine the amount of remarks and praises he receive from different kinds of people with different opinions on the matter.

Imagine how many times he’s heard that he should not do it,

Imagine how many times he heard that he will be punished by Decarabian,

Imagine how many times he was told by different people that his plan will not work or it would eventually fail,

Imagine how many offended, scornful, and disgusted looks he received from loyalists.

Imagine the amount of challenge this put him through.

Imagine how many looks he received from people from all different kinds of emotions. Fear, suspicion, apprehension, disgust, anger, and uncertainty.

So basing from the story, do you think this stopped him from reaching his goal? No.

He dedicated himself to reforming the once barren world of Old Mondstadt just to see his beloved sky, and the birds would finally soar. He completed something so big with immense mental fortitude that we did not witness in-person because he is a character who died BEFORE the events of the game, and has many IMPLIED, but OFF-SCREEN details hat weren’t even explicitly mentioned about him.

Old Mondstadt’s story cutscene is a story that forces you to use your perception and details to look deep enough into the history in order to fully understand it. Just using your visual perception isn’t enough. It isn’t “oh there’s a ruined city and some guy died 🤷‍♀️” ITS NOT.

Back on topic, a single accomplishment so big and took so much time like freeing a nation and its residents from its sick, delusional ruler whilst fighting for his own dreams of seeing the sky beyond is nothing compared from simply standing up for himself when people would back him down. In case you’re blind, he isn’t who he is without a reason.

I rest my case.

Question, how do you make fandom friends in real life?? Like I don’t like talking to people but i need someone to talk about fandoms, I’m going to go insane

I think I truly felt what it's like to be a Gen Z and out of place today...As somebody who is 19, into cosplay, animated and indie shows, apart of LGBT and a psych major, my family gets in heated arguments with me. They tell me I'm immature and some of it is mental illness- I'm literally the one to know, I'm going to school for it. But, I hold it back a majority of the time, they don't really know who I am, cause I don't tell them.

Waiting for the day reality melts away.

My grandma is in the hospital

My mom is spending the night with her there

And I've been left home alone

Which is fine

Because I love being alone

Until it's dark out and my neighbors start making weird noises and the pipes start squeaking in the bathroom we don't use.

we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?

okay so i work in the deli of a grocery store, yeah? and today i got this guy who came up with his two twin children, around five years old. he walks up to the counter, carrying one kid in each arm, and loudly goes "oh, no, i forgot what i wanted!" and turns to the boy in his left arm and, in a perfect blues clues style voice, goes "caleb, do you remember what i wanted?" and the boy goes "half pound of yellow cheese!"

i, obviously, say "you've got it little sir!" and slice up half a pound of yellow american cheese, handing it to the little boy, who looks it over, nods, and tucks it in his lap.

then the man goes "well, we can't just have cheese on our sandwiches. but what else can we put on there?" and the little gurl in his other arm goes "half pound of ham!" so i nod and say "yes ma'am! what kind?" and she points at a random cut of turkey, so her father nods and says "like she said, honey ham!" i cut half a pound of honey ham, hand it to the little lady, she looks it over, nods and puts it in her lap.

then the man goes "now, what should we have for the side?" and the kids both simultaneously start cheering "macking cheese!!!" and the man spins on his heel and marches off, presumably to find the macking cheese.

later, the little boy comes wandering back to the counter while his father looks on and loudly and proudly proclaims that he wants to know where the mustard is. i point him to the correct aisle, he nods, says "thank you mister deli woman" and walks away.
