she/her, Adult Just here to ramble about my Bennett and Chongyun brainrot Leak-free

[calamitascaesor]

Hello Hello

Not very well acquainted with Tumblr, but I'm just here to ramble about characters that have taken over my brain way too much. Bennett and Chongyun in particular, but I am also a Natlan enjoyer. Probably won't post too frequently, but I'll be around.

I kindly ask to not talk to me about any leaks, since I want to go into things as blind as possible, thank you.

Ask box open for thoughts you want to share or even some questions you might have. I'm interested in hearing about what y'all have to say.

I'm currently in the process of being more specific in my tagging to make it easier to dodge spoilers. I'll probably tag things with the name of the quest (ex: Sunspray Summer Resort) and give a version number (ex: Version 5.7 Spoiler). Along with that I'll do my best to tag stuff with genshin spoilers and put read mores on my posts for a version or two.

Probably will edit if I realized I missed anything.

Really fun detail (among others) in Genshin that solidifies Dornman Port as being more reminiscent of northern German towns (+ the Netherlands and Luxembourg) instead of the southern ones (+ Austria and Switzerland) early Mondstadt is based off of is the name its given in the official German game text.

Dornman Port is called Dornmannshaven in German. The Mandarin text calls it 荆夫港, with each character translating to "thorn," "man," and "port/harbor," respectively. The German version literally translates each word--"Dorn," "Mann," and "Hafen," to make Dornmannshaven. The "v" is what's important here. The "standard" German spelling of the translation of the word 港/port is "Hafen." The equivalent Low German and Dutch word is spelled "(H/h)aven."

This is why (with the exception of Heiligenhafen, which is notably farther east than the other northern towns listed) northern German towns end in "-haven" (e.g. Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven, Cuxhaven) while southern German towns tend to end in "-hafen" (e.g. Friedrichshafen, Ludwigshafen).

New Pokemon character idea: old women NPC on a bench feeding Pidgey. Upon trying to talk to her you are instantly thrown into a battle where she has a team comprised entirely of level 100 early-route birds all holding leftovers

I don't know what is the name of the lv. 6 of Lohen's constellation in the other versions, but reading it in Italian, I can say that I definitely don't regret pulling him.

"Annegare m'è dolce in questo mare"

"Drowing is sweet to me in this sea"

It's a rough translation, one that doesn't do the poem justice.

Is the final verse of one of the most famous poem in my country, "L'infinito". I really recommend to read this poem, even if on wikipedia. In terms of literature, is really art.

And the implication of Lohen having his 6 constellation named that way... Lohen is really searching for freedom, but an existential one, a freedom bigger than himself, one that is synonym with inner peace and happiness...

It says a lot about Lohen.

i wanna at the very least write my bennett ideas in my notes app bcs i feel like there’s untapped potential there. bennett and the natlan cast SPECIFICALLY kinich is like holy gem.

when i FIRST saw his new skin j was like ohhh he def got that on bcs he looks up to kinich 😭 they’re literally matching 😭 and then they didn’t interact at all i don’t think ?? 🧐

the concept i have in my head rn is a little post summer event mentorship arc where bennett stays w kinich for a few days and shadows him with his saurian hunter stuff. bennett would be interested bcs the bounties sound like commissions and he’s familiar with those. kinich is convinced by mualani to let bennett tag along.

and i think it’d be really sweet the more they learn abt eachother. they have pretty similar backgrounds yknow. gasp. imagine they’re talking abt their family and bennetts like “do you ever miss your parents?” and kinich is deep in thought and bennetts like oh man i messed up i shouldn’t have asked that i always ruin everything. and conveniently ajaw interrupts them and changes the subject 🥹 the goat saving the day as always.

Sometimes I forgot that there's lore in the characters' talent section. Some of them are literally the characters speaking to someone or to the Traveler. In others the speaker is unknown. But then you have sentences that are so strange that I can't help to think: what are they even about? Here one of my favourite cases of this, Mika:

Stars burst 'neath the frosted skies. - Starfrost Swirl skill desc

"Carry hope when in dire straits, and keep vigil when all is well... For that pure white plume shall at last guide the lost wayfarers." - Skyfeather Song skill desc

What stars are we talking about? And the second skill: maybe somewhere in-game this phrase was said by someone or is in a book but to be honest I don't remember. What I find interesting is that that "pure white plume" remind me of the doves in Before Sun and Moon and, well, Mika's constellation is a Palumbus which can be synonym for the Latin word for dove (to be precise, the palumbus is a wild dove, bigger than the common dove/pigeon) and Mika is associated with feathers: one is a quill so he can write a map («guide the lost wayfarers.») while the other is made from cryo and is used to heal («Carry hope when in dire straits») his team members...

I’m not normal about how the thought of “wanting to find a new place to belong” was not only a “malfunction” and a “logical flaw” but also something that cl-11 actively tried to get rid of. Does it directly go against her programming? Actually how much of the dragonlords is intended programming by Xiuhcoatl and how much is their own experiences?? And why is “finding a new home” deeply against her inherent programming?? cl-11 genshin impact I am holding you gently, what is Wrong with you

[vanilla-plan1folia]

Fascinating emphasis on the “I, too…” especially if cl-11 and ineffa do consider themselves to, for the most part, be entirely different people/entities altogether because. If ineffa is Not Her, and is the part of herself that yearned for a place to belong, either the split between them isn’t perfect (and cl-11 did experience yearning even after supposedly removing the yearning from herself), or cl-11 does, deep down, consider ineffa to be a part of herself and acknowledge that “ineffa’s” feelings are in fact her own feelings as well. I’m going to be sick
