《Tumaini, that is his name》

[wolfsummoner]

I'd take that

;;ooc: Look at the babs. ;w;

On the left is Xinyue, my xiaolumi lovechild OC with her plush - Mr. Birdie.

On the right is Tumaini, my kinilumi lovechild OC with her plush - Kijani (meaning green in Swahili).

They technically do not co-exist but shhh. Let me be silly.

[razorblade180]

Nations:Thank you for saving us! We will never forget this kindness. Let us know if you ever need anything.

Aether:That’s nice. Thank you.

xxxxx

Natlan:A FEAST IN YOUR HONOR! Murals shall be painted in your image as your name is immortalized in our hearts and souls until the end of days!!! TUMAINI, YOU ARE KIN!

Everyone:NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE!

Aether:Damn…if I didn’t know any better, I’d start thinking the other nations might not fuck with me for real.

Paimon:Remember that time we back to Inazuma and a soldier thought you were some nobody swordsman?

Aether:*raises glass* FOR NATLAN!

Everyone:YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!

Aether:Leaving here is going to suck for my emotional health.

xxxxxx

Venti:….Jean, send a letter to Aether.

Jean:Is there a problem?

Venti:Sometimes you just need nostalgia; to remember your roots.

An Ancient Name, Tumaini, forged after many twists and turns, whose meaning is "hope." You are its first bearer, and it shall record all your deeds and adventures in Natlan, to be passed down forevermore. "Wisdom" is not the sole domain of living things, nor are all memories or emotions a "blessing." It is a nameless, shapeless existence, nor can common sense comprehend it. It can warp history and memory, but it cannot twist your personal experiences. This is the meaning of this name you hold, and the light that Ancient Names mean to pass down.

ik most ppl here prob wont care abt someones sonic ocs but i needed to archive her somewhere in the internets permanence.

say hi to Tumaini!! little jellyfish mobian c:

i have a lot of info abt her so if anyone wants to learn more abt them id be glad to tell. i also have little fun facts about choices in what makes up her identity i wanna share

ps she refers to the ocean as home bc it is more peaceful down there, not bc she was born in it or raised in it

IMPORTANT PS i am not swahili, and am fact BARELY considered hispanic, usually i just tell ppl im white bc its much less of an issue to explain. anyway what i wanted to say is if this oc is offensive or adhering to any stereotypes im unaware of, please PLEASE lmk so i can either fix it or make a new oc!! i dont want to offend anyone <3

Now that the People of Natlan can Leave...

This has spoilers for Natlan 5.3, come back once you've finished!

Okay so, now that the people of Natlan are able to leave their nation with the permission of their tribe leaders….can you image how much more Aether’s (I use Aether personally) legend is going to fucking IMPLODE? We know Mualani wants to go to Fontaine, in which Navia and Lyney will be all too happy to spout all he had done for them in their time of need.

For them to get to Liyue where Kachina wants to go, they have to go through Sumeru, which many people will be willing to explain what Aether had done for them. I mean, Nahida isn’t going to be shy about it, Collei is all too happy to explain all that was done. And Al-Haitham will just tell them bluntly. In Liyue we have so many others there willing to tell them about all the stuff Aether has done, taking them to where the Jade Chamber is and explaining all that was done on it. A certain Funeral Consultant might even tell them to seek Aether’s closest confidante, the last living Yaksha so they might tell him the story of the Three Heroes of Natlan and the Hero who Means Hope; Tumaini.

And then they hear about how his journey started in Mondstadt and well, they are right there so they go and experience the land of Freedom and where his journey first began!

As for Inazuma…Well, Kokomi is certainly willing to bring them over and Itto is going to hound them for all the good stories.

Mualani and Kachina are going to have STORIES for the People of Natlan about one of their greatest heroes when they come back.

AM I ALLOWED TO SPEAK???

MY REACTION TO ACT VI OF NATLAN BELOW THE READ MORE

THRAIN THRAIN THRAIN THRAIN THRAIN-

Slightly miffed his name drop was in ONE frame, unless you seek out an NPC about it (which I didn't talk to because I was GRIEVING)

And then it's just not??? Referenced ever again???

Fine, I can live with that, Natlan isn't just Capitano

Also, shoutout to Captain Tupperware with his souls

Kinda sad that Natlan is "over", there's so much left to do, for example the Collective of Plenty...

"Tumaini" is a beautiful name, by the way

Cutie patootie

Also, Ayo and his grandparents was so touching

I'm lucky to not have experienced a grandparent I know and love to decease, but it's still touching

Weird that I barely saw anybody talking about it, if at all

About the circle of the tribes!

I REGRET NOT DOING ALL THE WORLD QUESTS AND TRIBAL CHRONICLES BEFOREHAND

DANGIT

I only did Chasca's because of the time-limited award, and the first two Acts of Mualani's

BUT THE CIRCLE WAS SO EMPTY ;_;

If I could re-experience the Archon Quest in my account with the completed quests, I definitely would

ALSO

MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP LET'S GO!!!

The whole quest was extremely hype, and GOOD

If there is one gripe I had during the fight, it's that everything went too easy

But I'll expand on that in a later post, I suppose

ALSO

PAIMON MY BABYYYYYY

I don't get emotional quick (I say after dedicating a whole part to Ayo's grandparents and his grief), but Paimon hugging the Traveler in tears???

Yeah no I'm ok yeah thanks

Also, there's something to be said about Mavuika slipping away from the celebrations to die all alone

Mavuika...

ALSO

RONOVA

MF!!!

(by the way there's basically a confirmation that the Abyss in Teyvat is the Honkai from HI3)

(I was normal during the quest, definitely)

ALSO YEAH, MR. CHRIS TERGLIAFERA IS A TERRIFIC VOICE ACTOR

THE HATRED IN CAPITANO'S VOICE WAS UNMATCHED

"Even YOU, great Ruler of DEATH"

Iconic, really

THIS WAS UNNECESSARY THOUGH

LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME

THE UNMET FIST BUMP???

CRUELTY

HoYoVerse refuses to make any ship canon, but APPARENTLY they can "kill off" one and make the relationship status highly suspicious

FFS

And then there's the funeral...

Yeah...

(I was inconsolable the entire day)

MavuiTano you will be the death of me

Also, side note

This was an interesting bit for me

She already broke the 4th wall before

Might be doing it again

~~~

And that's about it!

Not a lot of thoughts otherwise, except for the hype about it

I really enjoyed the fight against the Abyss, it was a shounen anime through and through

And while Capitano's role is short-lived, he made every second count

Natlan is saved, at least !!!

And the story was great

(btw I made a draft for an edit with Thrain's cutscene, but, like all other edits, it'll most likely be shelved until further notice)

And I hope I can make some essays and posts about the newly discovered lore and story! Focused on Mavuika and/or Thrain, of course~

Aether:*counting resources* This should be enough for now.

???:Hey! Tumaini!!!

Aether:*turns head*

Iansan:*stands proudly* Kept ya waiting, huh?

Aether:…Hey, coach. Took your sweet time getting here.

Iansan:I’ll my best to make it up to ya. So, I take it there’s a spot for me among your crew?

Aether:Longer than you can even imagine.
