fittingly, a song about recording messages to no one while your world ends around you is something that got me to think about hong lu, and how he must have felt as his own world collapsed around him lol <3

welt yang from honkai impact 3rd and honkai star rail

Would Welt Yang distort?

Yes

No, he would not be tempted

No, he would manifest E.G.O. instead

okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.

twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.

i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good at cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.

so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.

hi3 au where literally everything is the same but “welt” is einstein sitting on tesla’s shoulders in a trenchcoat and this is just never acknowledged by any character at any point

[caydencrypted]

this post first materialised to me as a mental image that made me lose my shit in the middle of biology class so i had to draw it

[caydencrypted]

a while ago i started calling the adverse side effects from overusing herrscher powers “magical girl tuberculosis” because of that thing where every generic fictional life-threatening conditions is basically just the symptoms of tb and it became an inside joke but now i every time i reread the sirin vs welt fight in 2e i ruin the mood for myself by cackling about magical girl tuberculosis

the idea of Welt teaching Bronya how to play piano has been holding me hostage

other than the fact that I’m a pianist myself, the thought of Welt teaching this child soldier who has created so much carnage from her hands how to play the piano, an instrument that requires you to be tender, is so *flops face down into the floor and screams*

she’d definitely pick it up pretty fast, reading notes/two staves isn’t too hard once you get used to it, and playing dynamics is comparable to the difference between a light press of a button and a hard press of a button

[caydencrypted]

number one commentary on the out of touch thursday post, apart from people saying “out of touch thursday”, is “why doesn’t bronya get a scarf”, which is valid

but also in a totally not unhinged way i would like to proffer that the scarf is Symbolic

[caydencrypted]

the scarf represents welt’s relationship to joyce and all the messy questions of identity that surround it. it’s the clearest visual similarity between the two and joyce did it first. i don’t think it’s reaching to suggest that he coopted that element of joyce’s appearance on purpose either. this even lines up with when he loses it during second eruption and what occurs after that. the scarf is gone in apho/starrail (along with some of his other design elements that seem to call back to joyce’s design) because he is finally able to live his own life (even if he seems to have trouble with that) but it still exists as a design element in a form that feels more “him” (his little old man shawl) because he is making peace with what the scarf represents. i won’t repeat all my meta rants about what bronya’s arc in relation to welt’s but you know. it’s about breaking cycles it’s about her making the choice to be the herrscher of reason out of her own free will

it is narratively important that bronya doesn’t have a scarf

[caydencrypted]

he’s 80 years old. he’s died 3 times. his reaction to life or death situations is to journal about it. he isn’t evil because god won’t talk to him. he might be divorced. he might also be dawei’s self insert oc. he had beef with a 12 year old and the 12 year old won. he’s a magical girl. he’s an edgelord. he has a phd. he’s so deeply incredibly kind and also a total bitch. there is an alternate reality version of him that attempted mass murder. he spent 50 years pretending to be a guy he knew for 2 days. he was at one point engaged in a copyright battle with his father’s murderer. he went undercover in an enemy organisation and didn’t even bother using a different name. all of his friends are autistic teenage girls. his side gig is producing anime. he is simultaneously the most stable person in this room and in need of so much therapy. he named a real human child joffery. but most importantly of all he’s a dilf

[caydencrypted]

does the rest of the world know that in the uk we have a second hand electronics store with a name pronounced “sex”

[caydencrypted]

people come up with literally anything else to call it. “computer exchange”. “cee-ee-ecks”. “cecks”. only the truly wise know it is definitely called sex

i love that all of the tags on this are just british people going “and it rules”. it does

welt being physically imposing is so important to me i will always see him as being tall and built like a freight train because like. comedic height difference with the doctors aside. joyce being this boyish, charming, naturally charismatic individual, someone who puts other at ease without meaning to and has no difficulty making connections in the short time he’s afforded. smiling through everything. and then his successor being every thing but. tall and imposing and closed off and perennially grumpy looking. bad with tact and charm and only able to make allies out of convenience, at least until they see more of his real self than he intends them too. awkward inside his own body like a child trapped inside an adult’s. a body long dead, rebuilt like theseus’s ship, a half-broken tool. towers over you with the facial expression of someone planning a murder but he’s just thinking about what to cook for dinner. etc

[caydencrypted]

i like when he’s a bit scary and offputting! i like when he’s Wrong! this is a large part of why my favourite era of welt content is that post-2e pre-ms era where herrschers who retain their humanity are still something rare. i love the idea of a pseudoherrscher being something that is repulsive both to humans and to herrschers, just a little. less fallen angel and more ape clawing bloody-nailed upwards. god borne of necessity and blood dragged forward like a shattered weapon, still sharp. i like when he’s fighting an unwinnable war and he’s little unhinged and desperate and willing to do stuff like throw himself into the sea of quanta for shits. i like when he’s doomed. i like when those that know look at him with pity but don’t say it to his face. etc etc etc. also it’s cool when people draw him with big tits too

my collection of screenshots of welt being called pathetic that i have for normal reasons

re welt getting into Situations. we also do not discuss enough that in apho 2 hes absent because he’s in the void. and journaling about it

[caydencrypted]

you know he was sitting up in there like this while bronya was in the trenches

[caydencrypted]

im not sure i ever actually posted my welt design “headcanons” (shit i just made up) here actually
