She unionized the working class of the grand bazaar and fought for their rights against the capitalist political class + performed art as an act of political defiance put some respect on comrade nilou
even small things like this are really cool in context
i cant say i fully get it, but ei's understanding of the world aligns with buddhist philosophy of suffering and desires, in contrast to makoto's shintoism (the indigenous religion of japan)
“Nurture ur inner child” “heal ur inner child” “protect ur inner child”
Meanwhile scaramouche and childe both go through life carrying the corpse of their inner child as it decays and decomposes from the inside
the way this scene is framed 🧑🍳🤌💋 chef's kiss
"you and childe always get ahead of yourselves, you two forget you have human weaknesses, and it makes me worried which is very inconvenient for work related reasons and definitely not bc it reminds me i have feelings"
the fact that was literally the only preparation he had to fake his death. just throwing his corpse and let the people make something up while i shapeshift into a twink to go drink tea downtown
The discourse around Scaramouche’s actions is really pointless to me. We all have our own coping mechanisms, some people drink, some people isolate, some people try to become an artificial god. It’s not that hard.
Hey uh.. I think there is a possibility that ei might have left scara in seirai island’s slumbering court instead of shakkei pavilion.. since the husk of opulent dreams artifacts left behind are there too..
The lineup of hydro characters is so funny like u have all these very noble people working for a the good for others even to their own detriment or devoting themselves to an art, and then there’s childe
it kills me that hes so chaotic. he didnt even plan an explanation for his death, just dropped the corpse and left the rest to liyue. imagine the political crisis if ppl had blamed ningguang instead, they could have had a civil war. cloud retainer wanted to nuke the entire city.
scara canonically writes poetry 🥺
in every character's main talents theres a line at the end, and if it's in quotations that means it's dialogue said by the characters themselves
in scara's there's these two, and the second one (in chinese) has the format of a haiku
kaeya did not call crepus adoptive father, he called him yifu/义父
the prefix yi/义 denotes a relationship that is artificial in nature, and it doesnt involve the other family members
Her backstory about her being loved, cared for and supported by her family and community makes a point about collectivism, something that’s later addressed thru kaveh’s role in the narrative. Nahida says Kaveh has an almost perfect grasp on what it means to be a nation of wisdom
because he believes that building a thriving community relies on helping each other, and nilou and the grand bazaar are the proof of this and what the rest of the nation has to aspire to be
first part (1/3):
"in death..."

a little comic about scara learning about mortality that i sketched back in october, so there's a difference with the teaser, but i think it still holds similar meaning
this is more a headcanon haha but:
i like how after being told not to let her emotions get in the way, signora reminds what has been done to him and how he too has acted in response to the pain. "you're just as human". and then has this "let me take care of them properly" vibe.
So.. uh.. there’s this thing called sacred geometry that holds the belief that a god created the universe according to a geometric plan, so there are symbols that repeat in every piece of creation (like the golden ratio)
The triquetra is already very present in Genshin as it is
childe riding scara's strap having the time of his life while scara just sits there reading a book or sewing something not even paying attention, and when he's done chile's all like omg babe that was so good and scara's like "i know"
The aspect of nilou pursuing arts is super important but i wish we also focused on the role she plays as a working class individual within a system that denies access to education where she still won a debate based on the knowledge she gained from her labour. I’m willing to beg
Whether haitham has direct connections with deshret or not, it doesn’t matter. The way I see it, the sumeru gang is related to their counterparts in the past as actors playing roles in a theater play rather than being literal incarnations of each other.
