one thing ive never seen mentioned in sagau is how creators isekai'd into teyvat just ... never question the writing system. thus they never ask anybody to teach them how to read and write w said writing system

like honestly, can anyone of u just read this at one glance w/o translations or guides. be fr

and thats just the common script,, what abt the region specific scripts or even historical ones u find in ruins 🧍‍♂️

i don't know dahlia all that well yet since i've yet to play the interlude (i'm waiting for miss erika's lines to be patched in 🙂‍↕️🤞)

buuut based on the vibes i've been getting...

in the context of lunasmr's wedding audio, i feel like if dahlia ever found out his bestie venti here got married WITHOUT any officiant or witness? he would set off and FORCE him to get a proper ceremony at the church lmfao 😭

i can see it happening post honeymoon audio, once windblume and venti get back to their normal lives

venti's at the tavern as usual but still kinda riding the wedding bliss. while on break from his Very Exhausting job of entertaining the masses, he's chosen to sit with a bunch of his tavern buddies and dahlia. everyone at that point has noted how extra happy the bard is that night, and venti accidentally says the truth without realizing it's consequences, happily yapping about his marriage and honeymoon bc hehe hes very in love so why wouldnt he yap about getting married to his beloved <33

and everyone's just ?!?! but dahlia. ohhh dahlia. he's appalled and after a few moments of silence just sets off on venti. what do you MEAN you got married. with no officiant? no other witnesses?? just both of you??? your marriage isn't OFFICIAL YOU FOOL

venti realizes his mistake and tries to get him off his back but nope! dahlia's not having any of that! he WILL have a proper ceremony This wednesday (aka, the Latest gap in his schedule) and NO he cannot get out of this.

doesn't matter if he knows venti's barbatos or not, dahlia feels like someone who would tell off someone even if they're above him in whatever rank. as long as there's something wrong, he WILL correct it. so there really is no other option but to comply 🤡

sooooo venti has no choice but to tell his beloved windblume that uhhh Well. that second wedding he promised them they'd have if they wanted?? Guess It's Happening Now

and even then it's like, the barest minimum wedding with the deacon and two other witnesses (one from each side)

(unless his windblume wanted to invite more folks of course!)

all because he's annoyed about having to been told to do another wedding just because he was told it wasn't leGaLLy biNdinG 🙄😒

grumbles about it to his windblume as they both get ready that fateful wednesday morning,

"i'm literally god. i should be allowed to legalize my own marriage. why does the church have to approve of MY MARRIAGE. shouldn't have said it with dahlia around, i knew he was gonna nag ..."

"to be fair, he's got a point. i did try to tell you."

"NOT YOU TOO >:("

windblume kisses his cheek and tries to soothe their (soon to be?) husband, barely holding back a laugh.

"well, aren't you glad to be able to marry me again? you were the one excited about having a bunch of weddings!"

the pout from venti's face falls into a small smile.

"that's about the only good thing from this whole nonsense, anyway."

he leans over to kiss his beloved,

"you know i'd marry you every day if i could, my love."

bonus: the best man

let me preface this by saying that because it's mondstadt and because i say so, i believe any person can be elected as a primary attendant/witness regardless of gender. so, i think venti could (and would) have chosen literally anyone available (lol) for his side

but i think it would be funny if he chose diluc as his best man

i was mostly thinking of this in the context of my yumeship, but also? he would probably be chosen because he:

1) knows who venti is so he likely understands the full context of this out of the blue wedding

2) he can roll with the punches and adapt fairly easily

3) venti has a sense of humor

i'm imagining him just dropping by the winery and asking like, "heyyy master diluc, r u free this wednesday? yeah?? ok can u come for a little thing i got going on at the church, promise it won't take up too much of your time <3 k thx see u!!!"

just making it sound super casual like he's asking to hang out. which was super sus already especially with that location. but he got no other clue on why, so he just gets there and BOOM. it was. a weddign . and he's. venti's best man?????????

was So confused getting there early and seeing an unimpressed dahlia waiting. he thinks he got it wrong and was gonna apologize but THEN dahlia goes,

"are you one of his witnesses"

".. what?"

"the bard and [windblume]'s wedding. are you their witness"

(realization)

"...............yes"

and he just sits there waiting along with windblume's chosen witness while inwardly groaning and cursing out venti in his head

not because he had to play best man. he wouldn't have minded. but he would have preferred to have been told he was attending a wedding!! he should have been in a nice proper suit rn!!

he doesn't even have a gift for the couple! though he supposed that can always come later, it still feels wrong to be THIS unprepared and it's on what he thought was gonna be a Perfectly Normal Wednesday Afternoon

somebody save him

thinking about how dull knives require more force than necessary when chopping. and then remembering the traveler preferring the dull blade in the earlier cutscenes even when they clearly already had access to better weapons or the blacksmith to at least sharpen it for them.

they can say they just prefer a workout but like. i doubt it. at that point its just pure pride and aura man. just likes flexing their very strong arm muscles. they pmo

i was watching this video compilation of some venti scenes and it has this scene

i'm not sure what other ppl's theories are on what exactly he did here, but i've heard the take about it being an illusion of sorts since he said it won't hold up

but i have a thought

since he has connections with time, is there maybe a possibility that he's simply rewinding time just for this object? like taking the object back to a specific point in time, before it was broken

but since time will continue to move forward, he can't keep that lyre frozen in its "fixed" state, and it will break again sooner or later, back to the current—now past—state

does that make sense ??

papa venti thoughts again bc im ILL

can you just imagine venti holding his own child to his chest as they sleep on him and he rests with them

with a loose but firm? hold on his kid

keeping them safe and comfy as they both snooze away

carries his kid EVERYWHERE

"venti your child is old enough to walk on their own-" "i dont CARE if theyre asking me to carry them I CAN AND I WILL"

that child is forever his baby

speaking of, he always has many many nicknames and terms of endearments for his kids, much like he has with you

they're all just as creative too, and always feel special, and fits each child perfectly

(he did, after all, name the thousand winds individually. whats a couple more for his own beloved children and spouse?)

but if he just goes "darling?"

everyone in the house turns their head

you, the children, the dog, dvalin? lmao

and various replies of "yes?" "yes papa?" "i'm here, papa!" are all said in unison

he's surprised everytime, and turns around to face everyone, only to find expectant gazes on him and varying expressions: confusion, happiness

and he just goes, "ah-!" realizing what he just said

and giggles to himself and calls a specific nickname reserved just for that person, to specify just who he was calling for

ok now imagine storytime with the kids

one of them drags papa to read the book to him

the kid is one of the younger ones so theyre still struggling when it comes to reading

(but with a teacher like his papa, he's making amazing progress. he's just struggling with some newer words aaand just likes listening to him talk)

seeing papa sitting on The Chair, with a book and their younger sibling sitting in front of him on the rug, bouncing excitedly in their seat, has everyone quickly gathering next to them and getting ready for story time

venti's storytelling varies depending on the mood. sometimes he simply reads it, especially if its a chill day or bedtime, and sometimes he narrates and gets some of his kids as volunteers to act it ou

one thing for sure though, it's never boring. as you would, of course, expect from a bard.

you can't care less about theatrics or his enunciation

all you care about is the sight of your most loved ones gathered together and happy, laughing away without a care in the world

filled out this crush meme for venti !! im not like 100% sure of wtf i was yapping about in there cuz i am Eepy and my brain hasnt been working at all today, but for the most part i think that's how he'd be like !!

also i am so sorry for that confession blurb ... im an artist not a poet. ill leave that part to venti but i do like my lil doodle

here's a thought: we all know by now that scene in furina's demo where she imitates other archons on the swing yeah?

i had the thought while watching it again,, what if she studied up on other nation's lores particularly how their archons (and other highly revered beings, ex, adepti) are like or how they are depicted in human literature and historical writings?

like... she had absolutely no idea how to be a god, and an actor does need to be acquainted with their role to ne able to portray and embody it... call it role study lol
