Ciao to everyone. I'm Arianna and I'm a simple 30 y.o. Italian woman who has too many hobbies and not always the inspiration to write something. I mostly post and reblog things from Naruto and Genshin Impact. You can also call me Ary or Ari A quick summary of the main tags I use: - aribluart's messy thoughts : anything that cames up to my mind, from theories, analysies and memes. Also a personal tag. - Naruto : anything related to the manga/anime. Mostly posts about Obito, Kakashi and sometime the ship obikaka - Genshin Impact : anything about the game - Requested fanmade GI translations: as it said, a tag with the translations made by my sister per request If I write posts regarding two or more characters, if is not specified, is always about implied platonic and familiar relations between them. *leaks free blog* (sometimes this blog will go into hiatus, but if I write a post about it, it will probably means the hiatus ended)

*not a ship*

Honestly, I love the relationship between Varka and Lohen. They're too father-son duo / mentor-protégé duo coded to me. And with the new infos we got about Lohen, we have now a sort of confirmation that Lohen is one possible Knight of Boreas, right?

Plus, the fact that both of them have been adventurers in the past, got into the KoF and managed to climb the ranks in a short time and have a visceral hate towards paperworks... The way Varka keeps telling other people how capable and responsible Lohen is, how both of them are subject of the Gunnhildr-Pegg's rage...

This entire exchange:

Varka: That first place certainly went to the right person! Ah, there's no need for me to stay anonymous -you should know that this lad is our "Frontline Suppression Officer" and a vert capable vice-captain! Lohen: I hear you. I shan't put poison in your drinks until you're all done with your paperwork, then. Varka: *sigh* Don't remind me about the paperwork... I don't want to be Grand Master anymore! Lohen: Then don't be. Varka: You'll take my place, then? Lohen: ...? You tease me so when you say that. Varka: Hahaha! It's not like you'd actually accept even if I offered you the post! Varka: Listen, now that you're getting a honorary title, you gotta take it easy. Stop coming back with injuries all over. Lohen: ...Fine. I know what to do.

And then you got it by Lohen's angst. But still, the fact the Varka jokingly offered the post to Lohen just like Valentine had done with him... Even the way they joke with each other remind me of a father and son... Both of them found their reason to fight after an expedtion/adventure...not just for glory, not just for fun and victory... (Lohen is still the reason why Varka's hairs are going gray, tho)

The Shore ✨

Redone!

I didn't like my first version with Scaramouche cat so I redid it.

Nothing drives me more insane than knowing I didn't give it 100% the entire time.

It's by no means perfect but I can sleep with this.

The Damselette - Columbina fanart :)

[aribluart]

Nobody gonna mentions that, technically, Mika is Lohen's senior? I mean, Lohen got promoted just after he became a knight and right before the expedition, while Mika was a knight for at least three years before said expedition...

Spoiler for "Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana" AQ

Wait, now with the Irminsul burned away, what happened to Irmin.

Like, you know, the king named after that damn tree? You know, whose main inspiration, Odin, is invoked in the Sumeru's original act III quest item, the Silver Twig?

..."Trees" also symbolize wisdom. In one of the legends, a sage hanging upside down on a tree had acquired the knowledge of how to inscribe runes and control sacred words, and thus followed the kingdom established along the tree's roots, eventually gaining a glimpse of the secret of the cosmos.

Odin, the one-eyed All-Father in the Norse Mythology, sacrificed himself by hanging from the World Tree, Yggdrasil, pierced by his own spear, for nine days and nights without food or drink, which allowed him to peer into the secrets and occult knowledges of the world.

Like.

Did he foresaw this. Is this actually his plan. Is he currently still alive (he probably is).

Is he Nibelung-- ahahaha what am I talking about it wouldn't make sense because the first depictions of him is showing him burning the Irminsul ahahaha and now that I think about it Columbina raising the Trilunar Authority is akin to Nibelung raising the three moons mural so that means that these Song of the Welkin Moon AQs is just the recreation of Nibelung's deeds in the murals which doesn't anything ahaha

Okay genuinely what does Irmin think of this.

Isn't it amazing how, when you're doing something else you noticed a word that remind you of something and then, when you go to search it you don't find what you wanted but a completely unrelated thing that is far more interesting? An unrelated thing that probably means nothing but is still interesting and source for a crack theory: -Was studying, a few minutes ago, for another competive job exam when I read the name Menekrates, a greek architect from the Hellenistic Period and I thought "This name is familiar..." - I went to the Hyperborea page on the GI wiki but no, I remembered it wrong, it was Mekhaneikos. But I was still curious, for some reason, and clicked on the "Sanctum of the Oathbearer" page, *the place where the document with the word "mekhaneikos" is). I thought, maybe there's actually a connection with the real-life architect, who knows maybe he was the inspiration for that section of Hyperborea's lore. Who knows, maybe Hyperborea is based not only on Ancient Greece but on the Hellenistic Period in particular. -Then I scrolled the page and my eyes stopped on this:

Okay, this is ridiculous and I never watched the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (I'm not even sure if it has ever been translated in my language) but I know that many people linked Lohen's constellation to a hare in the film. I saw that scene, and they were oh so right And here the stupid thought bordering on crack theory: what if Lohen is somehow connected to the Hyperboreans?? I already had a little theory that he's actually from Nod-Krai, but this. I never expected to read this. What and who even is Lohen, why he has so many connections to so many things???

Nobody can convince me that when he was an adventurer Lohen didn't try, anytime he had the chance, to be in Bennett's team but he failed everytime due to Cyrus stopping them: Bennett with his bad luck and Lohen with his need to have "fun"? Cyrus knew that he couldn't let them be on the same team.

But, let's imagine they were teammates. Bennett would finally have someone in his team who isn't afraid of his bad luck but rather welcome it, because, let's be honest, Lohen would LOVE to be on Bennett's team. And, if Lohen is really on the younger side

(I'm kinda a control obsessed for some things I do and when I want to write fanfics I HAVE to be precise in every details. So I search how characters are referred to and called in other versions and, I know many people would not like to hear this, in the jp version he's referred by some characters to be currently a "shonen", alas a teen of 18 at most. I have yet to search more about the cn version, tho.)

,Bennett would try harder to be the best leader and senior adventurer... Just imagine how could have been their friendship... The one cursed with bad luck and the one who love challanges...

it's very important to me that Illuga's house has his bird symbol

and also that at night it looks like what he wears on his back (bird symbol with yellow circle underneath) but the round lamp thing also looks like his lantern

and also that the Ratniki use a lot of mechanical flowers since they don't need actual care, and so does he, but he also has a pot of what seem like actual flowers (look real, in actual soil, sway with the wind)

and also that it's attached to a lighthouse (several lighthouse structures in Piramida but this one is taller than the others and due to being on the highest floor it's also the second tallest point in Piramida i think?) and that his house is so lightful at night

and also that it's the perfect place to see Final Night Cemetery. and that it's attached to the city by hopes and dreams

The weather is good, there are just a few clouds and is not too hot. And still the router doesn't work, even though yesterday the connection was perfect meanwhile there was a storm outside :)

So I have to use my mobile data, offc, even for doing a competitive exam simulation and messaging.

You wanna know another amazing thing of the teaser? The three knights... they really went "oh, he is so young, he must be a rookie, look how tiny he is!" and probably thought that they had the responsability to help and keep him safe. That was their first, or second, since they were unguarded in the wilderness, mistake and it cost them. Lohen actually did them a favour, the three wouldn't have lasted a day in Nod-Krai. I love those littlest details.
