@blood-orange-juice You did ask, so I will answer to the best of my abilities and somewhat coherently. I've included links if you want to look at the stuff yourself!

So, Natlan is given to be based off of the Aztec civilizations and I reason this because of the Talking Stick lore and the person who wielded it, Tenoch. 'Tenoch' is based off of 'Tenochtitlan', the capital of the Aztec Empire.

Another reason that I'm leaning harder into the Aztec aspect of this theory is because of Neuvillette's official introduction quote, which was spoken by an 'Xbalanque' (a figure in Aztec mythology). Xbalanque was one of the 'Maya Hero Twins' in their mythology and since Aztec civilization and culture were inspired so much by the Classic Mayans that came before them, I will also be taking this into account.

I bring up the Maya Hero Twins specifically because Xbalanque has an older brother who goes by the name Hunahpu and they are the sons of Hun-Hunahpu. In their mythology, they go to seek out their father's decapitated head and their uncle's remains that are in the underworld, walking the same path they did. There is an incident where in Xibalba (the equivalent of the underworld), Hunahpu's head gets decapitated.

In the myth itself, Xbalanque uses trickery to get his brother's head back and it seems that Hunahpu was able to be brought back to life. Eventually, they retrieve the remains and not only go back to the surface but eventually ascend to godhood. Hunahpu becomes the sun and Xbalanque becomes the moon.

The way that I can tie this into Genshin lore-esque terms is rather simple in the sense that there are three major points to this possibly coming into play:

Genshin really, really likes twins or pairs of characters (Makoto and Ei, Nahida and Rukkhadevata, Furina and Focalors)

There have been examples of allogenes ascending to godhood before (Vennessa, Guhua)

The blatant Sun and Moon imagery and comparisons scattered throughout the lore (Spiral Abyss, Primordial One)

As to what this has to do with Capitano, I raise you this question:

Where's his head? Do we ever see it? No, we don't.

Also, note that Capitano is on his way to Natlan to get the gnosis from the Pyro Archon and that he's the First Harbinger. The strongest Harbinger. The Harbinger that can kill gods.

This one is a bit far-fetched, I will admit, but the fact that Xbalanque was namedropped so early into Natlan's eventual release, the fact that Capitano was mentioned as going to Natlan as far as 3.5 (Mika's lore), and that he has no face of which to speak of points to two theories of mine:

Capitano can either be Hunahpu or Hun-Hunahpu and if you take into the fact that Xibalba = underworld = (possibly) The Abyss, this can make for very, very interesting things concerning the plot down the line.

Mistakenly touched my weenor after crushing up a chili pepper for my Ramen honestly not as painful as one would expect more of a gentle heat much like the pleasant burn of cayenne in a spiced coffee or even much like . A chili crushed up in a bowl of delicious Ramen. Much food for thought

eat an entire can of sweetened condensed milk. you deserve it.

it's important to me that people know the original "he would not fucking say that" was in response to a tiktok where someone said eric cartman would thank you for asking for his pronouns. Like it just doesn't hit the same without context.

I wanna put him in so many little 60s outfits

It’s their greatest invention as of yet

I spent literal months going “man I wish they’d release a character with a flapper-inspired design for Penacony since it’s inspired by 1920’s America and whatnot” whilst maining and constantly staring at Aventurine the entire time before it clicked for me that he’s the resident flapper and his outfit is basically a 50/50 fusion of both masculine and feminine 20’s aesthetics actually and that’s like pretty cool

And then I went “but what if we dialed the flapper aesthetic up to 100” just for funsies because I wanted to see what it’d look like. So here you all go

I've never been explicit about this because I'm a Fandom Old, and back in the day it was simply understood that anything on the Internet was fair game to do with what you wish, but: if you see a story of mine out there and you like it, download it. Fuck if I care. Keep it for yourself, distribute it to friends, print copies for yourself and your friends, mail it to people, I don't give a shit. As long as you're not exchanging money, I couldn't care less. And tbh you should be doing this with all fanfics you love - print them, save them, put them on a flash drive or a hard drive or share them with friends, whatever. Fanfic authors these days are really fucking precious about their fics, but honestly we're probably going to start seeing queer art being disappeared (especially in the US under the next president) so do whatever you can to archive the things you love to read. Even if that means just printing them out and sticking them in a binder for yourself to read as a bedtime story.

where's that masterpost of quotes that have no right going as hard as they do. I'd like to submit "Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane"

it sucks cuz my fave ben & jerry ice cream has a pic of jimmy fallon on it. the tonight’s dough. it’s so good though. but i hate having him in my house. i hate seeing his little cuck face in the store. i legit turn the container around when i store it in the freezer to minimize face to face time. whenever i’m gonna buy some i tell my sister “i’m going to get the little cuck cream at the store” and she knows what i mean

I haven’t been active in 4ever so have some sampard fanart :^

also happy holidays!

Farewell, says the Fool

The dazzling curtains frame the departure of a fool, knowing he won't return, knowing that he's lying. Like nihility is a pit without a way to stop one's fall, so elation too is a trap for those, who believe to be aware of the rules of the game. The ones that laugh while the world is crumbling still stand on its foundation. So all he does is play his games and hum his tunes. Well the magic mill grinds when finished, to and fro the lid in rocking, grinds one measure at the day-break, grinds a measure fit for eating, grinds a second for the market, grinds a third one for the store-house

Landau siblings' New Year's Eve preps (Sampo’s been welcomed). Landaus are naughty enough not to celebrate with their parents.

Because of the freeze, Belobog is severely impoverished gastronomically, but the 700 year old recipes have survived! For Sampo Koski, it's absolutely not a big deal to steal an old olivier salad recipe from the archives. Even if it is impossible to get all the ingredients for the salad on Jarilo-VI, somewhere in the universe there are bound to be grouse, eggs and all the necessary sauces!

They are cooking something between a modern olivier salad and the original recipe.

(Olivier is a traditional New Year's dish in many post-Soviet states, known as Russian salad in Europe and some other countries) Have a happy new year's celebration! <3
