clarice is about to start popping off. she loves the autumn and she has at least three dozen little blossoms in various stages of exploding pink engorgement. i'm so proud of her. i moved ruth over close because sometimes clarice's wantoness encourages her. bob, the chia christmas tree, is new here, and he has no idea what he is in for even though he has been putting on quite the big bushy fertility show himself. complications ensue

Pavi Largo - Conrad Veidt

Blind Mag - Theda Bara

Graverobber - Arthur Edmund Carewe

Luigi Largo - Lon Chaney

Amber Sweet - Olga Baclanova

Shilo Wallace - Marceline Day

#alternate cast list: connie plays everyone #he could do it #haven’t thought of ppl for nathan or rotti yet #i thought wayyyyy too hard about some of these #theda bara went back n fourth between mag and amber sweet for a while #and then i remembered olga baclanova exists #i thought mary philbin as blind mag would also be a fun idea just bc her and sarah brightman both played christine daae at one point #but she could also be a good shilo #also #none of these were biased idk what you’re talking about #suddenly it is 2020 and REPO! is always on my mind again #repo! the genetic opera

I saw your tags and figured I'd send an ask haha

All those names are really nice! I do think in future quests they'd end up using the name you gave him, so that's definitely something to consider. You do get one extra chance to rename him, so maybe try out Zihong for awhile and see what you think?

omg hello!! welcome, please don't mind the mess haha-- *hastily shoving posts and tags aside, attempting to look casual*

so the funny thing is i'm actually nowhere near that part of the quest yet lmao, like i haven’t even met him in-game yet. i'm just trying to get myself used to calling him a different name before i actually have to use it (and for writing purposes).

zihong is definitely in my top 5 names for sure, but the problem i’m having now is that there are just SO many names i’ve researched that would be good for him and i dunno which one he would like best lol.

i’m WAY overthinking this decision and taking it far too seriously, i know - from what i’ve seen, he seems pretty indifferent to whatever we call him either way, aside from his old names or other characters’ names. but still! i want him to feel satisfied with it. if he doesn’t feel so loved and warm inside whenever i call him by his new name i will have failed him >:(

apologies and you definitely did not sign up for this but i’m now using this ask to make a comprehensive list of all my other favorite names and their (supposed) meanings. wish i could just run them all past him for input hgjnfjhdj sORRY FOR THIS IT’S RLLY FOR ME ONLY U DO NOT HAVE TO READ ME WAXING ON ABOUT NAMES FOR WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PARAGRAPHS

First, all the Japanese names:

Matsuri - “Festival”, “enshrined”, “showing gratitude towards the rituals of nature”; has connections with Shinto and Buddhism. I don’t think this is commonly used as a name, necessarily, but the whole “gratitude towards nature” part struck me as a sort of nod to how Nahida helped him. And I like the idea of giving him a name that invokes joy, celebration, and life, because I want him to have those things and find happiness in his new self!

Soma - “A sudden sound of wind”, “true/real/genuine”. It’s simple and nice and what sells this one for me is the “sudden” part. Brings about a sense of movement and change and I really, really like it for that. Don’t know if the meaning is exact, though. It seems like Hayate has a similar meaning, which I also like!

Nataku - The Japanese name for Nezha, a Taoist deity. But also, this is just on the list because I was watching Saiyuki (ridiculous and very loose adaptation of Journey to the West, janky animation and terrible writing, fun to laugh at, highly recommend) with a friend last night and there was a character called Prince Nataku who is described as a “puppet assassin”. Immediate sirens started blaring in my head as my brain honed in on that as a possible name. Apparently Nezha is also known as the Third Lotus Prince, and I love the idea of associating lotus imagery with Wanderer.

Hansei - The cultural concept of “self-reflection”, acknowledging one’s mistakes and pledging improvement. I saw someone name him this and I like how it fits him. My concern is that it seems more like an admonishment and might hold him back from thinking of himself as more than his past wrongs.

Kazuki - "Hope of peace”, “serenity”, “peaceful tree”. I really liked that your name had a connection with Irminsul in the -ki suffix! Apparently -ki also means air, which suits him well, too. In this name, it comes from “hope” and kazu- is for peace. I do like the idea of giving him a name that could embody hope and I do want him to find peace within himself, but I worry he would find this condescending, particularly the idea of “peace” since that word just has so many connotations - he might take it as me wanting him to mellow himself out as if I wouldn’t accept him or am disappointed by him as he is.

Satoru - "Enlightenment” in the Zen Buddhism sense, “to know/understand”. Mostly I think that the way it sounds suits him. The only thing is that it’s a little bit unassuming and normal, I think? Which he might like, actually.

Anything with the prefix Shin-, because I like that it can be read as both “new” and “heart”. But I also feel like 1) it would always end up reminding me of another character because there are SO many that have this name and 2) he might take it as an insult or a mockery, like, “haha, how ironic is it that you don’t have a heart and I’m giving you a name with the word heart in it”. Probably unlikely at this point, but I don’t want his name to cause even the faintest sense of melancholy or sadness in the back of his mind, so I don’t want to chance it.

Other names that I like the sound of are Seijun (pure, innocent, clean/righteous), Kiryoku (inner strength/willpower), and Katsuya (victory). While I do like these, I’m a little apprehensive that naming him any of them would be akin to imposing certain expectations onto him or the type of person I want him to be? Especially Seijun. But I could also see him choosing Kiryoku or Katsuya for himself, so I don’t know! I’m conflicted.

There’s also Ren (lotus or love) and Shou (to soar/fly - add the suffix -yo and it turns into sunlight/sunshine). Simple and sweet, but after all of the long and multisyllabic names he’s taken in the past, I think he might find something like this refreshing. I really like these two aesthetically. I also cannot decide between them for my life.

And then there are names inspired by mythology or religion:

Fujin - Japanese; god of the wind in Japanese mythology who is often depicted alongside the thunder god, which, in Genshin’s case, would be Raiden. I know a lot of people pick this one, but I think it has too strong of a connection with the past he’s trying to leave behind, although I like the way it sounds.

Shu - Egyptian; god of wind/dry air. I like the similarity with Shou, and also that it potentially would be more connected to Sumeru than Inazuma.

Akasa - Sanskrit; the Bodhisattva of void/space in Buddhism. In Japanese, it’d be Kokuzo. I know these were mentioned in my tags, but after some more consideration I don’t think they’re a great fit for him thematically.

Vayu - Sanskrit; in Hinduism, the god of the wind. Literal name meaning is apparently “that which flows”, which I think is pretty. I also think I just like names that start with V. Vaira was another option (Indian; “flowing air”) - I like that it sounds like it could be short for Vairocana, who is the cosmic Buddha that embodies the concept of sunyata, but I couldn’t find a good source for it actually meaning “flowing air” and instead it seems to be more commonly interpreted as “diamond”.

And finally, the Greek mythology names: Icarus, Aeolus, Zephyrus. I’ve seen Icarus suggested by a few people and while I like the way it looks and sounds aesthetically, the literal meaning is also “follower” which I don’t think he would appreciate. Also, I don’t know if I want to name him a tragic reference to his past hubris that caused his downfall. Aeolus (nimble, quick-moving) was the “keeper of the winds”, and though I like how grandiose and regal it sounds, I’m not really into the way it looks? Same with Zephyrus (west wind), it feels a little too soft for him (and if I recall correctly, the west wind was the gentlest one of the four).

So. That’s where I am now. I like so many of these, and I think there are ones that he would like more but I can’t possibly know for sure, and the more I research the more I find other names I like...

ok i’m so sorry for this long writeup JHDGKJGH ZIHONG IS STILL REALLY HIGH UP THERE JUST BECAUSE I CAME UP WITH IT ON MY OWN SO IT FEELS CLOSEST TO ME?? AND I CAN PICTURE MYSELF EXPLAINING THE NAME TO HIM VERY VIVIDLY. AND THEN SITTING THERE TENSELY AWAITING HIS APPROVAL AND THEN HIM GIVING ME A NOD. BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’D ACTUALLY THINK OF IT.

wanderer why can’t you just pick a name for yourself. do u see what ur doing to me. i feel like that one image of the dude from always sunny connecting all the red lines on the board. WHY AM I LIKE THIS.

#this is so embarrassing #i'm just out here rambling at one of my favorite writers on this site about wanderer names help wtf is wrong with me #i'm literally at work right now too doing this instead of my actual job #but like. this is why every OC i create is just a self-insert. you think i wanna do this every time i need to come up with a name #nah just slap my own on there and be done with it #it's also why when i was a kid playing with dolls every single doll had like 3 middle names i just couldn't decide on one #HE'S NOT EVEN MY FAVORITE CHARACTER he's my 2nd favorite rn BUT I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO PROVE MY DEVOTION TO HIM SOMEHOW. I CAN'T AFFORD TO C6 #sarah answers message #kaeyazuha #ky u are so sweet thank u for going out of ur way to respond to my inane tags!!#sorry i am a little starstruck rn ngl i've never interacted with u off anon before #haha (dying)#ILL STOP TALKING OK THANK U AGAIN <3<3 #genshin impact #genshin #wanderer #genshin wanderer #wanderer names #scaramouche #genshin scaramouche

I know I don’t actually have to ask this on tumblr dot com because of course it happens here…daily. But you ever have someone completely miss the point of your argument? Sure. It was a little off the cuff, but saying [character a] is also a [character description you used to get people to vote for a way more interesting character, but these are things that they HAVE had in common] and think that’s a counterpoint…that’s not a counterpoint, my dude

#saying eri is ALSO a cute kid with white hair is not the argument you think it is #and don’t get me wrong I think she’s a sweet kid #the moment she smiles at the concert 1a puts on brings tears to my eyes every time #but she is a means to various ends #she is not a particularly well developed character #so you cannot look me in the eye and tell me she’s a BETTER character than the one who’s identity reveal OUT TRENDED THE 2020 US ELECTION!!#you can’t tell me she’s more interesting or important #but I need to stop before I get too heated about a poll on this webbed site #plus I need to watch doctor who #sarah’s assorted thoughts

⟬ @bucketfullofocs ⟭

[Sarah @ FatGum] Sarah was not known for her subtlety. If she had to be described, it would be 'about as subtle as an elephant in a strawberry field'. So really, no one should have been surprised that, a day after Aya had dropped off the flower crown, Sarah could be found reading a book about the Japanese language of flowers. Any time FatGum would walk by, she'd have that book out somewhere - either in her hands, on her desk, somewhere.

After a few days of this, she huffed, tired of waiting for him to notice and ask about it, and just put the dang thing on his desk with a note.

Hey I found this really interesting book the other day, you should TOTALLY give it a read. I've marked some of my favorite passages~ -Sarah

There. If that didn't get him to read the dang thing, nothing would. Now, she just had to wait.

Heroes were meant to be keen and observant, taking note of even the smallest change on the off-chance it meant something was wrong, and yet — there he sat at his desk, leafing through a book that had taken him days to notice.

He paid extra attention to the pages she had marked, the little strips of colorful and translucent plastic letting him know where he ought to read. Flowers were gorgeous, and he enjoyed looking at them when they were in full bloom, but it wasn't until he poured through the book that he realized they had a language of their own.

Each one had a meaning, and now he could hardly look at flowers the same.

"Oh, wait!" An idea sprang forward then, as did a gasp of pleasant surprise. "She made me that flower crown!"

He doubted that she had laced a message within it, but it would be fun to test his memory and all of what he had read only a few moments ago.

Book set aside, he occupied both hands now with the flower crown Aya had gifted him. He rubbed his thumbs against the silk, grateful that they weren't real. Glancing at it every morning, telling it goodnight whenever he left the office to go home — if they had been real, he wouldn't have been able to form those silly, lovestruck habits.

"Alright, lemmie see here. This is an. . . amaryllis. It means shy. That makes sense, she is pretty shy." He chuckled and felt his cheeks warm. He liked that she was so bashful, that she always seemed so fidgety even after knowing each other for this long.

The next flower, he brushed over with the pads of all his fingers.

"A yellow Camilla. This one means, uh. . . Shoot. Oh, no! Wait, I remember!" He puffed his chest with pride. "It means longing!" A pause, and he deflated. "Wait, really?"

He glossed through the book for a quick second and found he was right. Another burst of heat touched his round cheeks, and he swore he felt his heart do a flip.

"It might just be a coincidence." He forced another laugh. "Cause the next one is — is a gardenia."

Taishiro swallowed hard and stared at the silk twisted into a small, white petals. "Secret love. That can't be true. There's no way. I mean, she's — she's so nice, and pretty and really thoughtful."

And small. So very, very small.

She couldn't admire someone like him, not when he was so big. There were people out there willing to accept him in the shape he was now, but they always preferred his skinnier, more muscular form. It would be too much to hope that she wouldn't be like the ones before, the ones that made him feel less for being big and goofy and different.

He went on to the next flower, and the heart that flipped suddenly sank low in his chest.

"Yellow tulip. One-sided love. But she. . ." He caught his breath, felt the corners of his eyes grow damp. She knew the pain of wondering, of believing wholeheartedly that her affections weren't reciprocated. How it ached, how it made every little favor and sweet smile feel forced.

Perhaps the idea that she felt the same wasn't as silly as he had first thought.

Taishiro sat there in quiet contemplation, fingers drumming along the plastic stems that kept the flowers woven together. He knew he needed to thank her properly now, but it couldn't be as simple as the last thank you he had given her.

No, he had a plan, and he couldn't set it down now that he'd thought of it.

The hero abandoned his desk and popped open the door to his office, catching sight of Sarah at her own. "I need your help! I need silk flowers."

He rushed over, fingers jabbing at the pictures of the flowers he desperately needed her to find. Taishiro hated demanding anything of her, but she hardly knew how to make flower crowns. "I need white anemones, white chrysanthemums and forget-me-nots! And then ya gotta teach me down t'make one'a those flower crown things. Oh, third thing — ya can't tell Aya about it! Ya can't!"

#bucketfullofocs #bucketfullofocs ; aya #bucketfullofocs ; sarah #「 ( taishiro ; ic ) 」#「 v. make them lose the will to fight ( taishiro ; pro-hero ) 」#「 r. sweet and soft as a peach ( taishiro ; aya ) 」#( ehehehEHEHEHEH )#( now she's gonna get a lil flower message too!! )#( I hope I picked good ones ; u ; )

this is sarah polley’s version of the tragically hip’s “courage” from the sweet hereafter, allowed to be more resigned and melancholy than they ever were themselves, weirdly mirroring the actual (incredibly under the surface) action in the film, at least in the chorus, home to my favorite gord downie device which is just to quote somebody else’s text for the entirety of a verse/chorus, which in this case is:

“There is no simple explanation for anything important any of us do, and the human tragedy, or the human irony, consists in the necessity of living with the consequences of actions performed under the pressure of compulsions so obscure we do not and cannot understand them.” - Hugh MacLennan

#sarah polley #the tragically hip #hugh maclennan #i pitched an atom egoyan essay to bw/dr last year and just never wrote it!!! this is a pattern with me and essays i've pitched to bw/dr #maybe if i rewatch exotica i'll feel like writing it again #rewatching the sweet hereafter hurts my feelings so deeply but fine why not that too

I'm not sure I've ever watched a hockey game on TNT? And frankly I'm not enjoying the experience.

But what I AM enjoying is the Penguins in their retro jerseys. I got into hockey in 99 and that's the jersey they were wearing back then so I'm like awwwww nostalgia.

#one time my dad took me to a game in that sweet spot when lemieux had come out of retirement and jagr was still with the team #jagr got a hat trick #so that was pretty rad #what wasn't rad was me telling him my mom had stopped wearing her wedding ring so he was like oh ok and took his off too #like lol cool my parents 20 year marriage ending at a penguins game #oh by him i meant my dad lmao not jagr #jfc sarah
