i see some confusion on tumblr as well, so let's clear up the issue of Gaming's name

嘉明 gaa1 ming4

sample via twitter user @/lilysqingxin

pronounced like gah-ming

expert mode: gah (high nasal) ming (downward)

NO it's not the english word “gaming”

this is Cantonese, not Mandarin (which would be pronounced Jiaming)

it's romanized as Gaming and not Ga Ming because that’s how Genshin romanizes given names

most of the chinese speakers i’ve personally seen, both cantonese and non-cantonese, are leaning towards hyphenation: Ga-ming

but yeah, that’s it!! welcome gaming we’re so happy to have you 🥹

ga-ming/gaming/嘉明:

mr. tea drinker. escorts cargo from yilong wharf (somewhere in chenyu vale) to liyue harbor. chenyu vale is known for tea leaf growing. where are tea leaves grown irl????? see below

SOUTHERNER??? southerner confirmed????

tea drinker and dim sum enjoyer.........

wushou -> 舞兽 -> literally translated as "beast dancing" -> it's just lion dance but with a knockoff lion ig

TIL! seems that he's based off the red/black lion known as guan gong / kwan kung / 关公!

irl, they look like this (which also explains where his black/red color scheme comes from)

this specific lion is one of 3, the other two are 2 other historical figures from romance of the 3 kingdoms (liu bei and zhang fei. this one comes from guan yu)

his constellation name is Leo Expergiscens which means awakening lion. it's 醒狮 in chinese, which is another name for lion dance used in canton/guangdong !!!

NO INCOME FROM LION DANCING T_T it's his side hustle.....

your honor he's perfect please release him alr
