[lore/culture] One meaning for wearing a single earring on the left is the person experienced life threatening experience and wears it to ward off danger.
Apparently wearing single earrings was a trend during the warring states extending into Qin and Han dynasties 🤔
So the ENG localization decides to keep the JP/Inazuman titles in romanji (raiden shogun) but doesn't do that for CN/Liyue titles (yanwang dijun -> Rex Lapis and Retuo -> Azhdaha). Something seems a little stupid 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 ppl can learn JP culture they can learn CN culture too
When you girlboss a little too hard, sleep with the most wanted ICP criminal, she's fallen in love with you and is chasing you across galaxies. Also you picked up her Stellaron kid so there's that too.

this is not a commission but can someone draw makoto and yuzu with a heart shaped chocolate box each, thinking "would she find it weird if i gave her chocolate?" thank you
[Genshin spoilers]
Not quite sure about Zhongli maybe during the Archon war he was faced in a life threatening situation (?) but Childe nearly died falling in and surviving in the Abyss, Kaeya was nearly killed by Diluc and possibly nearly died when Khaenriah fell [cont]
Of course another meaning for wearing the left earring is being homosexual
But in all seriousness I am struggling to find academic sources on the left earring for life endangered thing, I'm just seeing a lot of pop culture articles. But my water margin friend seemed agree so...?
Beidou nearly died killing Haishan, and Lisa nearly "died" in a humanistic/moral sense(?) at Sumeru Academy or like saw a lot of moral death and was endangered by the environment.
This wouldn't be an issue if they had done this for all of the regions like whatever language into ENG localization but the fact the kept the JP names the same and changed only the CN names -> ENG is so stupid. Could this be called sinophobic? idk but it's certainly dumb
I completely forgot about travelers (could Lumine's feather be counted as an earring(?)) Endangered by unknown god & (this is hc) probably other countless past perils. Perhaps the event/reason why they're looking for a new home is what threatened their lives first 🙂🙂🙂
[lore/culture thread] Why is it in Liyue they never called the Geo Archon, Morax, but instead by a different title? Rex Lapis in English and Yanwang Dijun in CN.
In CN she isn't the one to remember she forget to sign it. She hands it to traveler and then traveler is like you didn't sign it? And she's like "my name? I didn't sign it?" and get's kinda embarrassed. She's put together but still quite clumsy
Instead of "I want understand more about humans", its more like "please tell me more stories about humans, I want to hear your opinion bc you're like me. I would like to discuss with you". IIRC it's also her asking traveler to tell stories from their journeys

"While it is a form of self-abuse to him, and possibly the sorriest excuse to have an affair, Maiya deemed it okay."

Someone cooked 😭😭😂😂
Also with the English dub if they make the Inazuman characters sound more "Japanese" culturally I'll be really pissed bc they really sh*t on the CN characters. None of the CN characters felt Chinese especially Zhongli. Don't talk to me about JP dub that's an even bigger mess.
This one is hard to translate so I don't blame them, but instead of Bantu she says "Bitter Snow" juxtaposing Ganyu which means "Sweet Rain". it's funny XD
THIS IS MAJOR MISCHARACTERIZATION. She says "I understand" not "I'll try to embrace it". Qilins are benevolent and peace loving creatures, her "embracing" violence as new way of life directly conflicts w/ her values & heritage. You can understand something but not embrace it.
//Zhongli drawn w/ European features as opposed to Chinese
me: Bro that's not Zhongli, that is Zachary
//Zhongli severely mischaracterized w/ Western culture projection x1000%
me: why can't you just make an OC???
The last line is moreso "I wish to keep working to help keep the prosperity" like she's not in a state of "I'm not worthy". She thinks she is worthy but she has to earn her keep.
She literally just says "I don't know" in that last bit. which better showcases her keeping secrets. It's implied she does know, but ENG makes her seem like she can't lie or keep a secret at all. Which conflicts w/ how Ningguang trusts her w/ many secrets
Also I know that the translators are not at fault usually! My gripes are with the higher ups who insist on unreasonable changes that don't make sense with the translation and the translators have no choice but to oblige T__T Those are the people who I'm upset with. Higher ups
It's not "Do I really belong in the human world?"
It's moreso "do I fit in with Liyue Harbor after all this time?"
Like she knows she could fit in but she's doubtful she's really integrated into society despite all of her contributions. Kinda like imposter syndrome
Also
That being said there's NO CANON sexualities for any of the characters yet (personally don't think they'll ever give them) so ship whatever ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Just be respectful of other ppl's ships and don't throw the word canon around when it's not plz. Its a v specific term :/
She basically just says "you have a job for me? Please write it down" and that's it. Everything the English adds is implied!!!! Stop treating us like idiots!!!

mostly me hcing stuff
I'm so emo guizhong x ping is so real. Besides the fact it's probably powerful, Ping carrying guizhong's possible weapon(?)and showing her deceased friend a peaceful liyue they fought for. She kept guizhong close to her even after death
@sinsindick4din
Ayato is infamous for feeding Thoma strange things. It's likely Thoma got the idea for the bring your own ingredient hot pot party from Ayato
Throughout her lines, it's quite clear she's still v uncomfortable/doesn't fit in even after 2,000 yrs of living in Liyue. She's memorized patterns and scripts to get by in work, but in actual social situations she wouldn't be able to get by.
Story quest spoilers
She probably has low self esteem hence why she immediately thinks Ningguang's secretaries' replaced her. She thinks of herself as a replacable in the Qixing ;-; Even though it was played off as a joke every time traveler told her she wasn't replaced, it hurts
forgot to mention this but like she really doesn't talk much. In friendship V or smth she's like "I feel like I've talked more to you than I have in the past 10 yrs combined". She is v socially awkward
Hence why she's still at a desk job, where she talks to ppl minimally. Whether or not it's bc/ she knows the ppl she knows now will before her or otherwise, is something idk. But Ganyu is a sweet gal and give her some Qingxin and play w/ CN voice over!

I'm SHRIEKING WE WERRE ROBBED FUCK
IN CN RAZOR HIS LETTER REFERRED TO KLEE AS "PENGYOU" WHICH IS "FRIEND" AND ALBEDO HIS LETTER SAID "MEI MEI" WHICH IS "LITTLE SISTER" BUT THEY GOT RID OF THEIR RELATIONSHIPS REEEE
I'm sorry the translators have to deal with these closeminded individuals :( I really hope things get better and the product can be spread more accurately
Oh I just noticed Razor and Xinyan have left earrings too
For Razor his life was in danger when the Abyss Mage attacked his home (the story of when he got his vision.
My friend says at the end of the trailer Eula says 与罪人共舞一曲 which means “Have a dance with a sinner” which was translated as "it takes two to tango"
EULA X AMBER AHHHHH
There's several other lines that just double the length of the CN treating us like idiots like "least fav food" and "About Xiangling" but I won't bother with those
Man :( I feel kinda bad now, I just talked to some friends and the translators probably know CN and CN culture decently. All the problems arising in the game are probably from the localization team, proofreaders, and editor's. Those guys are the ones who don't know CN culture.

🚫👎: Zhongli hoards bc he's a western dragon
✅👍 ; Zhongli hoards bc he's an Asian grandpa who went through a traumatic period of time where he lost everything and can't let go of anything now.
Kaeya sounds like an overconfident a-hole in ENG but in CN he sounds genuinely friendly like 90% of the time which makes it even harder to tell when he's lying and contributes to his cunning personality. So I implore you to play the game in CN
One of my many reasons
