《Tumaini, that is his name》

;;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.

[aro-tistic-art]

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

*GRIPS YOUR SHOULDERS BACK IN A NORMAL WAY* someone sees... the vision... thank you... im not completely insane... yet...

you know what it's possible. there is a precedent with Tenoch losing an Ancient Name iirc while still being alive

sure, according to the Wayob, you don't have any specific obligations tied to having an Ancient Name... but that doesn't mean you can go around being the opposite of what your Ancient Name means and still be worthy of it. there was nothing hopeful about him and his tyrannic reign so maybe that's why he lost it?

I LOVE THAT THEORY THANK YOU

a thought on Maghan's ancient name (and the rest of the group's ancient names in general)

did you know that the Ancient Names used by the Heroes of Natlan originate from the wielders of the craftable weapons?

maybe besides an exception, that is.

Xbalanque -> Kiongozi (Leader)

not an owner of the craftables, but their leader all the same and mentioned in each of these weapons lore anyway. this one is easy, he literally tells us. thank you for doing my job in my place

it was also the first Ancient Name, according to A Thousand Blazing Suns

Yupanqui -> Malipo (Cost/Price, Turnfire)

this one is also easy. outside of the Tribal Chronicle, you can also find the incantation in his weapon, the Earth Shaker:

according to Mavuika, this Ancient Name also has the meaning of "cost or price".

what a heartbreaking line when you know yupanqui's story... he used to act on impulse, was full of regrets, he turned around at och-kan's call fully knowing how the turnfire worked and paid the price... im so normal about him so normal

Lianca -> Vuka (transcension)

this one is also a bit easier than the others. her weapon, the Chain Breaker, features the incantation spoken by Chasca when awakening her Ancient Name.

Ahpub -> Uwezo (Strength)

this new NPC from the Collective of Plenty confirms it:

although this isn't new, because we had a hint of it back from the Ring of Yaxche:

and thanks to this, we can conclude that...

Ixquieh -> Baraka (Blessing)

well, if her brother, who followed the path of "strength", was Uwezo, then it's only fair to assume that she, following the path of "blessings", would have the Ancient Name of Blessing. im kinda stating the obvious here

Uenuku -> Umoja (Unity)

his weapon, the Footprint of the Rainbow, has a similar line to the one hinting at the twins' Ancient Names:

and then, that brings us to Maghan.

and the problem is, unlike all the others who are pretty straightforward by either putting an Ancient Name meaning in between quotation marks or straight up speaking the incantation, the Flute of Ezpitzal has no such quote.

we can guess he was Bidii - Devotion, because it's the last hero name, because he seemed to be devoted to his village and master.

but I'd like to offer an alternative interpretation.

this is a quote from the Starcaller's Watch, Citlali's signature. this weapon's lore is about the Starcaller, or Maghan's master. and this quote has a meaning of an ancient name in quotation marks. this could imply that the Starcaller was Ukumbuko (Memories), and Maghan was Bidii. since the word "memories" is mentioned in her weapon, her story.

but according to this quote, Maghan is the one who will tell of their memories. Maghan is the one recording the memories. so wouldn't that make Maghan to be the original holder of "Ukumbuko"?

yes, the Starcaller is the one speaking these words, but these incantations do not have to be spoken by the hero themself. did you notice that Malipo's incantation was also first spoken by the silent priest (i.e Maghan), and Yupanqui only understood it in his final moments.

you can also draw some (admittedly small) similarities between "Bidii" and the Starcaller.

from the old Pilgrim's Chronicle (I wish we could switch between both). the Starcaller did sacrifice a lot to ensure her beloved land, Natlan, and the tribe of Mictlan, would prosper. Bidii doesn't have to be devoted to a person, they can also be devoted to a land. which she was.

and,

sure this is about a man, but Uwezo's incantation is also about a woman and it was confirmed to be Ahpub's first ancient name. Uwezo's incantation does have similarities with Ahpub shooting a dragon proclaiming to be the false sun, presumably in the volcano.

and Bidii's incantation is somewhat similar to the story of the Starcaller. she knew a lot of the future, Mictlan's future and her own, she could be described as omniscient, and she did foretell her own death.

so I'd like to propose:

Maghan -> Ukumbuko (memories)

Starcaller -> Bidii (devotion)

it's possible both names were also very important. they both were responsible for ensuring the future of their tribe after all. also Citlali was important enough that she was a very viable candidate to be the Night Wind hero so it's possible?

of course it's also possible that i'm tripping and reaching and completely wrong and maghan was bidii and starcaller might've been ukumbuko

ps: Och-Kan did not seem to have an Ancient Name but I wonder if he's a nod to Tumaini. he constantly talks about hope, even the song about him (this one - someone put the translation in the comments) is about it and has Tumaini in the title. while he says he's the one who received hope from Xbalanque, I wonder if Xbalanque also saw Och-Kan as "hope" - that's why he entrusted his nation (also his Golden Entreaty) to him while they're waiting for a successor. great idea there lanque, fucking great idea you had. top 3 worst ideas in teyvat history. slow clap.

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~

Sehemu: XXI.

----------------------

3. 9. 1. DALILI NA MATOKEO YA TABIA YA ULEVI.

(a). "ULAFI - GLUTTONY"

Ulafi ni hali ya kukosa kiasi katika kula au kunywa, Ni tamaa au kujiachia kupita kiasi. Ni hali ya kuwa na pupa na ubinafsi.

.....BWANA YESU anasema "Jiangalieni, mioyo yenu isije IKALEMEWA na ULAFI, na ULEVI, na MASUMBUFU ya maisha haya; siku ile ikawajia ghafula, kama mtego unasavyo.

....Luka 21:34....

Kama umemwelewa YESU anaonya kwamba kulemewa na ulafi, Ulevi na masumbuko haya yanaweza kukuzuia usiione mbingu. Tabia ya Ulevi imesababisha watu kuwa walafi, wenye pupa na tamaa mbaya kiasi kwamba hawakumbuki familia zao tena kwa sababu wanatenda bila kufikiri mwisho wa siku anaharibu kila kitu.

.....Kwa sababu HAKUJUA UTULIVU NDANI yake, HATAPONYA cho chote katika hicho ALICHOKIFURAHIA.

....Ayubu 20:20....

Wengine utakuta anaenda mahali anaagiza chakula na kinywaji kizuri anakula na kunywa na wakati mwingine anawanunulia wengine, LAKINI familia yake wanakosa hata chumvi, nyumbani mwake ni Ombaomba. Hii ni dhambi acha ulafi.

....USIWE miongoni mwao WANYWAO mvinyo; Miongoni mwao WALAO nyama kwa PUPA. Kwa maana MLEVI na MLAFI huingia UMASKINI, Na utepetevu humvika mtu nguo mbovu.

.....Mithali 23:20 - 21.....

(b). "UMASKINI"

Wewe utakuwa Shahidi mzuri juu ya hili, maisha ya mlevi yapoje, Tabia ya Ulevi ni kukurudisha kwenye umaskini taratibu,

.....Leo utawanunuliwa vinywaji watu, Kesho watanunua familia yako.

......Leo utasema nakunywa kwa afya, Kesho utaokotwa kwenye mitalo na kufeli kwa figo.

......Leo utakunywa kupunguza mawazo, Kesho utaomba kifo chako mwenyewe.

......Leo utakunywa kwa akili na majitambo mengi, Kesho unaambulia kulia, kuomboleza na umaskini.

Kimbia umaskini kwa kuacha kabisa Ulevi.

Mara nyingi tabia ya Ulevi inasababisha KUPOTEZA MALI na KUDUMAA KIMAISHA. Ulevi unasababisha umaskini kuanzia kwenye akili mpaka utendaji wa kazi, ambapo matokeo yake kupoteza au kurudi nyuma kimaisha. Na unazuia baraka (posho) zako mwenyewe.

....Basi, tazama, KWA AJILI YA HAYO nimenyosha mkono wangu juu yako, nami NIMELIPUNGUZA POSHO lako, na kukutoa kwa mapenzi yao wanaokuchukia, binti za Wafilisti, WALIOYAONEA HAYA MAMBO YAKO YA UASHERATI.

.....Ezekieli 16:27....

(c). MATESO

Tabia ya Ulevi ndugu yangu ni tabia tishio kwa sababu inaleta...

.....Maangaiko kimaisha,

.....Uzalilishaji pande zote (fikiri mtu anakunywa anavua nguo, Kesho yake aibu kwake na familia. Lakini wengine sio kujizalilisha bali wanazalilisha watu wanaoishi nao kuwapiga na kuwatendea ukatili kisa pombe),

..... Taabu za rohoni, kujisikia vibaya, kujihisi upweke nk,

...... Matukano, Magomvi na Virugu kwenye familia, jamii nk,

...... Uzinifu (Usaliti kwenye familia, na matengano mengi ni uzinzi na kisababishi kikuu ni Ulevi)

....... Magonjwa (Afya zimeshambuliwa kwa Ulevi, Mfano Magonjwa ya figo mengi ni Ulevi)

.......Basi, vifisheni viungo vyenu vilivyo katika nchi, uasherati, Uchafu, Ulevi, tamaa mbaya, mawazo mabaya, na kutamani, ndiyo ibada ya sanamu; kwa ajili ya mambo hayo huja (mateso) GHADHABU ya MUNGU.

Kolosai 3:5 - 6.....

(d). UTEGEMEZI.

Kutokana na tabia ya Ulevi kusababisha Vurugu, Ugomvi, Matengano, Vipigo umaskini nk matokeo yake imeleta utegemezi kwenye jamii nyingi. Unakuta Baba au Mama kakimbia familia watoto wanaangaika, Maangaiko yao hayataathiri tu familia bali jamii na taifa na kuwa watu wa kutegemea misaada kwenye kila kitu.

Kimbia na Epuka Ulevi kwa sababu ni HATARISHI kwenye maisha yako, Mkimbilie BWANA YESU Akuokoe kwenye Ulevi. Je upo tayari?

.....Tazama, nasimama mlangoni, nabisha; mtu akiisikia sauti yangu, na kuufungua mlango, nitaingia kwake, nami nitakula pamoja naye, na yeye pamoja nami.

.....Ufunuo 3:20....

3. 10. TABIA YA 10: "KIBURI - PRIDE"

......Tutaendelea......
