[purehydro]

[purehydro]

what that polar bear doing in arlington texas

[purehydro]

She just watches as her boar-shaped friend bulldozes a snooping treasure hoarder off the cliff and into the heavy waters. There's a good chance he'll live, but if he doesn't...well, he's no longer her issue, so—

The water-mimic simply receives a generous pat on it's head.

kaeya is also on rhodeia's hit-list btw

[purehydro]

i think rhodeia would join columbina and zhongli in their "avoiding neuvillette" club

first meeting sentence starters.

send one to have our muses meet for the first time.

“Sorry, were you just talking to me?”

“I think you dropped this.”

“You look lost. Need some help?”

“I don’t usually talk to strangers, but…”

“You’re sitting in my spot.”

“Whoa! Careful!”

“We’ve never met, right? You seem familiar.”

“Is that seat taken?”

“Sorry, I think I just spilled something on you.”

“You’re blocking the doorway.”

“Were you just staring at me?”

“Excuse me, do you know the time?”

“Wait — are you the person I’m supposed to meet?”

“I’ve been sent to find you.”

“Please don’t be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.”

“Do you work here?”

“I’m fairly certain that’s mine.”

“You’ve got something on your face.”

“Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

“Do you know the way to ___?”

“You’re hurt. Do you need help?”

“That’s a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?”

“This might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?”

“You look like you could use a friend.”

“I think your dog just stole my lunch.”

“Hey, you dropped your coin purse.”

“I think we’re stuck in here together.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear, but…”

“Are you the new neighbor?”

“First time in town?”

“I’m not sure if this belongs to you, but…”

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”

“Do you mind if I join you?”

“I think you’re in the wrong place.”

“You seem… out of place.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but are you following me?”

“That was a close call.”

“Not to alarm you, but someone’s watching you.”

“Mind if I walk with you?”

“You look like you’re in trouble.”

“Was that your doing back there?”

“You don’t look like you’re from around here.”

“That was impressive. How’d you manage it?”

“I’m guessing you’re not here by accident.”

“Do I want to know what just happened?”

“You might want to keep your voice down.”

“Is it always this strange around here?”

“I have a feeling we’re about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.”

“Looks like we’re in this together now.”

something I want to eventually explore is rhodeia coming to terms with her home in liyue... of course, she's already been hiding in qingce for many years, but I wouldn't exactly say she understands what it means to "live there" since she's isolated herself to one spot. it simply became a place of convenience to her. especially since her longing for fontaine is still very strong and mentally, she hasn't moved on from the events of the cataclysm because despite being the strongest oceanid, I think she ultimately fails to understand what egeria wanted for them as opposed to other oceanids like idiya and callirhoe (both who were eventually able to find a home in the people they connected with). why do you think egeria was so willing to commit the ultimate sin by allowing oceanids to become human? it was always about forming connections with the land and people that inhabit it. something that rhodeia struggles to do due to her grief, depression, and anxiety preventing her from seeking a better life for herself

rhodeia loves to sing. often times she would sing for her fellow kin, but she would also sing across the vastness of tevyat—weaving together tales from each corner of the land. but now she sings alone as a way to comfort herself about bygone times, keeping the memories of yesteryear alive.

the wuwang hill legend implies this, except we know it wasn't actually rhodeia who caused the disaster there

regardless, since people have spun this false narrative of her, she rarely sings anymore to further conceal her location. however, if you're lucky enough...you may just hear a gentle hum flowing along the streams of liyue

[purehydro]

isn't it kind of funny how furina has like hundreds of oceanid sisters she probably doesn't know of

[purehydro]

wow I can't believe hoyoverse leaked their canon interaction

[purehydro]

@traveling-stxr / sc —for Furina!

“ You— ”

It couldn't be. She didn’t want it to be,and yet...she had no doubt in her mind. That face could belong to no other person.

Animosity, frustration, and grief rose to the surface. Even if it wasn’t shown so blatantly on her face, heavy rain is pouring relentlessly, the waves thrashing nearby as if desperate to swallow whatever was causing her anguish.

Then again… she supposes fate always had its way. Always so unsuspecting, so cruel. There is never an appropriate time or place, it only serves to inconvenience. The Heavens never made it fair for anyone that wasn’t themselves.

Curse them. All she wanted was a small, tranquil haven. And yet she’s forced to face a ghost of her past, a lingering memory she kept submerged in the depths of the waters for all these years.

“The gall to present yourself in front of me.”

[purehydro]

@viisiond / sc — for Leucosia!

“How is…Fontaine?” She asks tentatively, as though she were afraid to know. No...she had seen the answer for herself long ago.

The lands were already beyond recognition by the time she left, and the people there…well, you can not change the foolishness and willful ignorance of humans. Especially those entertained by that jester posing as Archon. Disgraceful. 

But despite it all…she misses home, her fellow kin—and her Mistress most of all, who held a love so deep that it became her very undoing. And after the events of the prophecy, naturally Rhodeia felt curious.

She won't pretend to understand her creator, but... perhaps it'll bring some peace of mind to hear that her sacrifice is not entirely in vain.

♥ this for a starter with this hydro grinch??
