EYES OF A GONE ARTIST

Baizhu potential kit leaks below the cut alongside unhinged screaming/rambling because of potential cultural references and lore that may connect with some other characters and mora for a myth and-

so first things first- HOLY HECK BAIZHU HAS A HIGH CHANCE OF BEING A SHIELDER WITH SNAKE-RELATED ANIMATIONS IM AEOGIHAEOGIHA

So! Likely if you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’d know that a while back id written mora for a myth (genshin fic where vision holders gradually turn into mythical creatures and whatnot) and one of the things i ended up malding over was figuring out who was what.

Long story short, keqing, ningguang and beidou all had creatures that i had felt corresponded to them quite well, and ngl, the correlation to the four cardinal directions was at first a bit of a happy coincidence, then more of a holy shit this might be a thing.

So! why the preamble? Well, in chinese mythology there are four guardian beasts/cardinal beasts/whatever tf you want to translate them as that correspond to the four directions. They are the white tiger, vermillion bird, azure dragon, and black turtle.

And as you can see, four characters from liyue pretty closely follow these motifs.

Keqing with the white tiger, Ningguang with the vermillion bird, Beidou with the azure dragon, and now Baizhu with the Black Tortoise.

But wait! you ask, wtf does a black Tortoise have to do with baizhu other than being tanky (which he is not, because he is a frail, frail man searching for immortality)? Well, I’m glad you asked, because the black turtle is also known by another name- the Xuanwu.

And Xuanwu isn’t just a tortoise, but a tortoise combined with a snake. Or rather, a single creature comprised of a snake wrapped around a tortoise, or a tortoise with a snake tail. Baizhu. And Changsheng. and not to mention the association of medicine with tortoises and etc in china!

So, four guardians of the cardinal directions, now represented by humans. Four humans in Liyue, a land no longer governed by their archon, and one that is stepping towards a future independent of the gods. Four humans, each of them crucial to Liyue in some manner and could also be regarded as guardians- Ningguang the law, Keqing the land, Baizhu for Liyue’s health, and Beidou as a roaming protector.

(Still can’t believe i predicted this in mora for a myth tho im fucking cackling because i had been joking when i said baizhu could’ve been a turtle but aeighaoeihgae well! chapter 8 for anyone curious, which was uploaded in. 2021 holy fuck.)

So yeah, thanks for coming to my unhinged rambling ted talk and I hope you have a pleasant day!
