ahhh i meant to post this earlier! as a player since 1.3 (i missed 1.2βs the chalk prince and the dragon event so i donβt have festering desireβ¦ clenches fist), iβm so so so happy that durin is finally playable! i can hardly believe itβ¦ i love his design, his story quest, his gameplay, and that he turned out to be such a sweetheart π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί i would protect him with my life haha
so yeah i love everything about our new little durin!! BUTβ¦ (unless i understood it wrong) i donβt like how the writers made out OG durin to be a purely βevilβ dragon and implied that he was fully deadβ¦ when in truth he was just a scared, confused, lost creature, tainted by the abyss and abandoned by his creatorβ¦ he didnβt want to be evil. his dying thoughts from the text of the dragonspine spear inspired me to make this piece. i want to believe that a part of OG durin lives inside this durin, so he can finally experience all these happy moments, like singing and dancing with venti and getting along with the people of mondstadt, that he desperately wanted in his first life π₯Ή
My dad used to work for Vodafone and likes to tell a story about when he was working on a voicemail transcription service.
And there was a woman there who was some form of disability advocate (it was the 90s so her existence in the company was a minor miracle) and apparently she completely blew his mind on that project.
See, he'd imagined that this service was exclusively gonna be for deaf people. Obviously very useful for the very small number of people who couldn't hear their phone, but why would you even own a mobile phone if you couldn't hear?
But she described to him all the times he might want to read a message instead of listen to it. Maybe he was in a loud football crowd. Maybe there was important info that he needed to copy down that was spoken too fast. Maybe he was holding his sleeping newborn (me) and didn't want his phone to be loud and wake them up.
This doesn't feel as revolutionary as all that to those of us that have only ever known phones with the ability 'send text message', but given the timing and placement of this conversation I wonder if this woman and this project is *part of the reason text messaging exists*. The first text (SMS) message was sent by Vodafone UK in 1992 - where + when this conversation was happening - and then for a long time it was supported exclusively for 'messages from the carrier', and this project was an early potential extra use of the SMS protocol.
This was requested. I wasnβt sure if they wanted that exact moment or if they wanted the aftermath. I wrote about the aftermath. Ask me if you wanted a more in the moment description. Sorry this took me so long. I got injured.
Becomes Paranoid
They knew they didnβt want to lose you, but that death scare really put it into perspective. Now simple tasks that you used to do get taken by him. Things that were even slightly dangerous seem to be a big no-no for him to allow you to do now. Groceries? His job now. Knife work? His job now. Even simple jobs like changing a light bulb is now his job (assuming they werenβt before). Whenever you take a nap he has to make sure youβre still breathing. He wonβt mention it but the time he almost lost you really shook him.

Becomes a bit distant since they think they got too attached
He has learned to love you. It took time to be okay with it after all his previous trauma but you guys finally got together. He hadnβt thought of your death as much until it almost happened. It was not until he watched your body appear as though it was close to its final moments did he realize just how painful itβd be to lose the someone that he holds so dear. He hated how that made them feel. He distanced himself so that he wouldnβt need to deal it again. It doesnβt fix his worry but he avoids you nonetheless, especially if he played a part in your near-death experience.

Secretly watches over you
You think heβs his usual self which is true for the most part. The difference though is he has people watch over you when heβs gone. Just to make sure that youβre never in that situation again (Ex fatui, melusines, Prisoners, etc). Heβs great at masking his worry, but underneath his usual self is a stressful thought of you being in danger once again.

Obnoxiously Clingy
Will act annoying clingy but itβs just to cover up the fact that he worries a lot over you. It gives him an excuse to follow or check up on you.
Itto, Varka
Nags you
Heβs openly more protective over you. Heβll remind you about the time you almost died and how he doesnβt want this to happen again. Heβll remind you to be careful doing the most basic things. Whenever you are in a situation that is even close to the way that you almost died he will stare at you or unconsciously stay physically closer to you.
Tighnari, Baizhu
Open Worry
He openly worries about you. He wonβt always mention the reason but itβs implied that your near death experience scared him. He will randomly check up on you or ask how youβre feeling. Sometimes during the night he will just watch you sleep while thinking about the time you almost died. Heβll only snap out of it if you talk to him or if the sun comes up.

β¦β’βΰΉ albedo - love (599 words)
π² ΰΉΰ£Β ΰ£ͺ Λ CALL ME BIASED AND SELF INDULGENT ALL YOU WANT!!! but also try imagining it. YOU COULD TOTALLY HEAR IT IN HIS VOICE RIGHT??? i think it'd be a very cute nickname that he'd enjoy. its kind of like a reminder for him every time he calls you. like,, they are my love,, the person i am in love with,, AHH CUTE!!!
π² ΰΉΰ£Β ΰ£ͺ Λ the desk in front of you holds a multitude of glasses and vials, all full of colorful liquids. some lay static, neatly placed upon their designated stands, while others are set atop a flame, softly bubbling. the immense number of flasks before you would no doubt cause others to spiral into a sense of discomfort and perturbation, however such a sight was and always has been a part of your job. youβve more or less grown quite accustomed to navigating through the plethora of ingredients used in the art of alchemy, such a thing comes second nature to you. as such, it has never been much of an issue to you to be faced with such an overwhelming sight.
subsequently, this very expertise of yours has led you to countless joint projects with albedo. while you wonβt say your knowledge of alchemy is as vast as his, i mean, youβve literally watched him bring his paintings to life, you still pride yourself in being among one of the most knowledgeable in the subject. truly, with your capabilities, it was evident from the very beginning that you would find yourself spending so much time with the chief alchemist, eventually leading to quite the romance between you two.
you look up from the colorful array of bubbling beakers in front of you and train your eyes to the man on your left. albedo is facing away from you, seemingly preoccupied with his own set of alchemical equipment. craning your neck from your spot, you catch a glimpse of him scribbling away notes on his clipboard, no doubt all about the little changes happening to the experiment in front of him.
getting up from your chair, you curiously take a few slow steps closer to observe the very same flask that has caught your lover in a trance. for a moment, you two stand there and exchange short notes about your own separate observations. his soft voice with yours, and the quiet hum of the burners creating a peaceful scene.Β
not long after, you notice small changes in the glass in front of you, indicating that the time to progress has come. you and albedo swiftly get to work, passing equipment and tools back and forth from one another. with how familiar you two are with your work and each other, theres almost little to no talking between you as you work. at most, youβll exchange quiet words when the other is too preoccupied to see your nonverbal gestures.
after waving his hand aimlessly for a few seconds, albedo turns and realizes that you had no chance of noticing his futile attempts to motion for your attention. you were holding up one of the many flasks of liquid, completely focused on rolling your wrist to gently mix its contents. seeing this, albedo lets out a breath, almost a small laugh as his face morphs into a soft smile. βmy love, could you please pass me the crystal cores?β heβd softly mumble, amusement becoming more evident on his face as he notices the subtle way you perk up after hearing his voice.
really, you canβt think of anyone better to explore the wonders of alchemy with than albedo, and neither can he.
β¦β’βΰΉ mualani - partner in crime! (560 words)
π² ΰΉΰ£Β ΰ£ͺ Λ she doesn't strike me as someone who would use more formal or βmatureβ nicknames like dear or darling. she seems more like she'd use sillier, less serious terms of endearment! something that matches her more care-free nature!
π² ΰΉΰ£Β ΰ£ͺ Λ youβre sitting on one of the many platforms found among the children of the springs. legs dangling off the edge, just above the hot springs, swaying back and forth to the same rhythm as the wind. today has been quite uneventful for you, not that youβd mind of course. the people of the springs value each day, no matter what it bringsβ¦
except youβd really prefer to be doing something right now.
youβve spent the past two hours (itβs only been thirty minutes, but with how long it felt it might as well have been two hours) sitting in the same spot, staring listlessly into nothingness! youβve entertained the idea of taking a dip in the hot springs, although after sitting in its warm, inviting waters for almost half an hour, you were swiftly kicked out by an elder of the tribe who was worried about you passing out from the heat.
at some point afterwards, youβve even thought of asking around for any work that needed attending to, though you quickly threw that idea out once you realized that you did NOT want to work on a day off no matter how bored you were.
you were looking for something fun to do, but try as you might, you simply couldnβt think of a single activity to do. something, ANYTHING, to save you from this tormenting, agonizing, boredom-!!
βhey you! whatβre you up to?βΒ
as if the wayob heard your prayers, a blessing in the form of a blue-clad girl came your way! mualaniβs energetic manner of speaking never fails to put a smile on your face. you could physically feel the burden of boredom leave your body the second you turn to look at this ray of sunshine headed your way, with her wide grin and the animated waving of her hand.
βyouβre not out here having fun without me, are you?β she joked, stopping just a little before you, hands resting on her hips as she slightly leaned in your direction. you couldnβt help but roll your eyes and chuckle after hearing her words.
βplease, iβve been dying of boredom for the past hour or so.β you quip back, lightly patting the space beside you as an invitation for her to join. after she settles down, you start once again.
βiβm actually glad youβre here, surely the best tour guide in all of the people of the springs can help me find something interesting to do?β
at those words, her eyes grew brighter, and her smile more contagious than it already was. she quickly repositioned herself to face you better, and then grabbed both your hands in hers. βoh, you know it! when it comes to a fun-filled afternoon, few come close to my expertise!β.
she hastily helps you up, and together you might as well have been strategizing some evil plan to take over the world as your synchronous giggles attracted the attention of the nearby koholasaurs. mualani gently pulls you along with her, βdonβt you worry my partner in crime! i can assure you that by the end of the day, youβll forget what boredom even feels like!β
