SPOILER ALERT JUST IN CASE
So I've just finished golden slumber in like a day, and I wanna I loved it, was great the exploration, the puzzles, jebrael, jeht, Benben and of course, TiRzAd!!! That motherfucker wow!!!
no npc's, character's or anything ever had so far managed to awaken such an ungodly amount of pure rage in me, i swear, if i could have i would have wrecked that neck but alas I can't I'll just to imagine it really hard and pass my nerves on bosses I guess, I'll imagine tirzad in their places or not at least the bosses don't seem to be racist contrary to professor racism over there and he was so, so condescending, it made me grind my teeth, never happened to me before, it's awful, eurgh.

So it seems like the people of the desert have at least a healthy respect for the wind, maybe not specifically to Barbatos, but definitely to his principles.
It's likely because they can literally watch the wind move as it forms and removes sand dunes, causing sandstorms and obstructing travel, so Barbatos is associated as he is the Anemo Archon, and so I would guess that might influence a relation to Barbatos' ideals since the lullaby Jebreal sings seems reminiscent of a couple core Mondstadtian themes: time, roses, wine, and rest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jebreal's line about the desert is incredibly metaphorical, and without knowing his story, I'm going on a limb by saying that he sounds like a single father who has been trying to give his daughter a life where she will never have to live the same way he did, especially as he says that his previous life wasn't bad but there was a better one for her to walk. Perhaps he lost his lover to the desert, and it reminds him of her, and so that's why he calls it the past with no future. I think he took this commission as a last ditch effort to learn about his late wife's death. Especially since he refers to what is under the sand and wind as "the truth" .
Another line I want to draw attention to is the reference to a crown of roses. Roses in Teyvat don't have a specific symbolic meaning unless you're in Mondstadt in which case they refer to secrets being kept, but Sumeru roses are also called a "rambler's rose" which would counteract the effect of a Mondstadt's rose. A reason for this line in game might be talking about letting go off burdens shouldered, since crowns are identifiers and often placed on those with great importance. If this line is more allegorical for real life player's enjoyment, then it may reference the biblical crown of thrones that is used as a tormenting device of christ. In this case, it would fit the song talking about getting a moment's rest.
This is a curious world quest that seems very intentional about developing the relationship between Sumeru's citizens and the history of the desert, so I look forward to all the things they have to say. Except for this researcher's racist ass remarks toward Jabreal and Jeht, that's... certainly a choice hyv has made.
That concludes tonight's posts about golden slumber<3

Just finished the golden slumber world quest and now I'm so fcking crushed, Jeht is such a likable NPC it was so saddening seeing her go from this very happy go lucky girlie to 'sht my dad died'. Wish she got a vision as well.
Tirzad was a mtherfcker who was a piece of sht until the very end. He didn't reflect at all.

GOLDEN SLUMBER SPOILERS PLEASE PLAY IT BLIND
golden slumber destroyed me.. 
hoyo gave us such a good dad and then killed him.
Jebrael always puts Jeht first. Even though he does want to kill Samail, he understands that that WILL NOT bring her back and would just endanger his daughter. 
-“If taking revenge on Samail could bring Ufairah back to life... A good deal like that... Even if I had to gut him ten times... even a hundred times! I wouldn't hesitate at all.”
-“After Jeht was born, I kept asking myself if I could still wholeheartedly carry out the missions Thutmose gave me as I had been doing in the past.”
-“I didn't mention all of this to you because it was my own selfish dream, and it had nothing to do with Jeht. I didn't want to make her bear any burdens she doesn't have to.”
HE UNDERSTANDS HIS ACTIONS!!
and GODS the line “A man chained by hatred cannot raise a daughter.” goes so hard. Jebrael managed to understand something most anime dads with a dead wife never even consider, that he is not the centre of the universe, however he is the only universe his kid currently knows.
I hope we get to see Jeht in the future, I hope she can find her father’s tribe.

i wrote a oneshot about a hot NPC dilf. its 1600+ words. i'm really proud of myself.
when i was doing this quest, i had to come to the realization that i, in fact, do have some daddy issues. and that i have no idea of their origins, but so be it.
the more daddies for my perverted imagination, the better my day is.
if you haven't done the Golden Slumber world quest so far, i highly recommend it! it's long and sometimes annoying, but man, anything for hot dilfs (and their also hot daughters).
ok, that's all, i'm done simping. requests for other stories are open, as always.
fluff, comfort embedded. no smut for y'all horny ppl. sorry, not this time ;)
enjoy! ^^

A difference between sky and sky.
A night in the desert wasn't a joke to anyone. It was rough, cold and merciless, killing anyone that missed to take care of themselves. Most mobile creatures had already found a shelter as soon as the Sun started to dive into the treshold of the horizont, hiding itself behind the gold of endless dunes. No matter if it were just animals, people, or monsters - survival made everyone behave similarly.
That night wasn't anything different than the previous ones. You and your two companions have been traveling for two days - for the fifth time. You commisioned them yet again to escort you while you collected some redcrest and other materials from the desert for special herbs. And why not just commisson them to bring some, without you having to travel such a long and tiring journey, or just buy what you need from the mercenants? You asked yourself at least a thousand times. For example, when you almost stepped on a giant scorpion-like thing, got hit by an especially massive tumbleweed, tripped on a scarab, and even when you got into a fight and almost lost all of your dignity?
Yes, you asked yourself a lot of times.
But you only trusted yourself when it came to collencting materials. After all, only you knew what exactly you needed.
And... Maybe you just enjoyed traveling with them on a regular basis.
Because every one or two months you came to Aaru village and commissioned them for the very same reason, and there wasn't even a single time they turned you down. It started nearly a year ago, when you had no idea of who to trust and how this region works, but out of sheer luck you bumped into - literally, right to his chest - the perfect people. And ever since you only commissioned them and no one else.
So there were the three of you: a still unexperienced, clumsy alhemist's apprentice, depending too much on their deputees; an always smiling, funny and kind, but at the same time life-threatening girl; and her father, a whole natural force, like a billion-years-old mountain looking like he could even challenge Morax himself with his bare two hands.
Well, a colorful team, might as well to say, you tought to yourself as you were laying in your tent. It was a strange friendship between the three of you. You were almost best friends with Jeht, you could talk and laugh about almost everything. And even tough you never talked much with Jebrael, he had proven that he really did care about you, so you considered him as a dear friend as well.
Despite these dangerous journeys, they were the most awaited people in your whole month.
Minutes passed, then half an hour, and then a whole, and you still could not sleep. Getting bored of trying, you sat up and started to think again. But after another thirty minutes you got bored again, so you decided to do a little stargazing. It might help you fall asleep.
You put on some clothes, and opened the tent. You almost tripped in your own legs as soon as you saw the tall, threatening figure's back infront of you-
Oh, wait. It's just Jebrael. Yeah. He's in your team.
Cool.
After your heartbeat kind of went back to normal, you just stood there, studying the man's silhouette. If the muscles and scars armoring his massive body could tell you their stories, you'd probably listen to them for years long. When he fights, he does not have any spare movements, and the way he swings his weapon with such pure brutallity and unique elegance... This controversiality always left you tremble and speechless at the same time.
You snapped out of your toughts as you approached the man, not having any better idea as soon as you saw him. You were sure he's heard you, but just in case, you stepped on a drained brach to alert him of your presence. He did not turn his head towards you, and didn't say a word when you sat down next to him. You both remained silent for long minutes.
"Aren't you tired?" You asked, breaking the silence. "It's been a long day. You should take a rest, too."
"It's my turn on watch," he replied. "And Jeht is also tired. I'm fine. You should be the one taking a rest."
"But I can't sleep. I just keep thinking about everything."
"Hm," he 'said', still not moving an inch. Sometimes you wondered how a man of such a figure could act so unnoticeable and noiseless.
"For examle, the sky," you pointed at the stars. "All the orbs can be seen from there so much better than from Lyue harbor or Mondstadt. It's probably because of the light pollution, or I don't know."
"I tought you were a scientist?"
"Well... sort of, but this is not my field. I'm more into alchemistry. Or, at least, I'm trying," you laughed nervously, scratching the back of your head in embarassment. "But I'm not that good, no matter how hard I try."
"That's not true," he opposed, slightly turning his head toward you. "The ointment you gave us was really effective."
"Ah, yes. That is the only one I'm proud of," you chuckled. "And the anti-sweat bandages! I see you still use them," you smiled at him, looking at his arm.
"See, these things are useful. Just keep it up."
There was silence again. You stared at the endless black of the sky, toughts racing trough your head like a tumbleweed in the wind.
Somehotw, sitting in silence with him wasn't uncomfortable, like it was with other people. You could collect your toughts and think silently, while feeling perfectly safe.
You wanted to experience it more. Not just every one or two months.
"How much more materials do you need for the following months?" He asked suddenly.
"Well... Hmm... I need a few more redcrest, five scarabs and three more ajilenakh nuts... but I think that's all for now. But I'll think it trough the morning."
"Good. Jeht and I have to head back to the village soon, so we can collect them tomorrow and then start to take our way home," he said casually.
Like it didn't mean that your journey, your only chance to finally have some time for yourself, but be safe and with friends at the same time wasn't about to end in a few hours.
"Oh," you replied. "Okay, no problem."
"And you know, you can commission others to these trips, too. I have some reliable acquintances, so I can recommend you some of them. You don't have to aks us every single time."
Ouch.
You gulped. Did that mean that he wasn't enjoying your company? Definitely, you declared. But he seemed to be okay with it... Is there something wrong with you? Or with anything? Did you do something wrong?
Oh, silly question. Even when establishing the camp, you couldn't help properly, because the tent you tried to make always collapsed as soon as it had the chance, and it was always Jebrael who helped you fix it. You could only make some food, but that wasn't so delicious either, rather flavoured with herbs to make your companions feel better. But that didn't mean they enjoyed it as much as you did...
Were you overreacting again? Yes. But was it logical? Absolutely, for this time.
They were... he was important to you. It did matter what he said. Maybe a little bit too much.
"Right. That's true. I should probably ask someone else, too, you two must be busy as well," you laughed again, but this time much more nervously. "I'm sorry I bother you with this every month. Seriously." You nodded, holding back your tears, trying to find some excuse to leave the scenery as fast as possible. "Oh, can you feel it? It's getting so cold! I'd probably go back and, you know, try to get some rest... Good night, then!"
You quickly jumped up from the log you were sitting in, waving a quick "goodbye", then turned your back on him and walked to your tent.
How could you be so blind... Why would you think that he enjoyed spending time with you? No one enjoyed your company, that's why you didn't have any friends. You were nothing more than an ignorant little pharmacist who had no idea about the dangers and pressures of the world Jebrael lived in. He's porbably had some more important business to take care of, and you had no right to tell him to stay one more day just because-
"The... The stars. What's the difference between Lyue and here?"
You froze, slowly turning your head back to him. His head was facing the sky, hands resting on his knees relaxed.
He looked so peaceful all of a sudden.
You gulped again.
"We- well," you started, playing with your hand in embarassment, "there are so much more lamps in Lyue. It's a harbor, after all, and it's always bathing in light, so you cannot see the night sky so well..."
"Hmm. I haven't seen it in a long time," he whispered.
You turned your head to look at him. You had no idea why he was wearing, or why he had to wear that blindfold. You never asked about it. Once you tried to talk to Jeht, but she just brushed it off with an "I dunno, he never talks about it," and that was all.
Jebrael never talked about himself, not even to his daughter.
But something changed this evening.
He seemed to be more... open. To have a conversation. Even if it was just about the sky.
And he started to open himself for you.
You snapped back to reality, forgetting that you should probably carry on the talk. You made your way back to the log, sitting down next to him where you were just moments ago. It was still warm.
"Do you... want me to tell about it?" You asked silently.
For a moment, he didn't reply. Then he slighly nod.
You smiled.
Well... at least that's something to begin with.
} > -- • -- < {
The next morning, when Jebrael woke up, he found himself under a blanket - and with you leaning onto him, head on his right shoulder. He focused on the sounds surrounding him, but he couldn't hear Jeht's breathing, only yours. But when he moved his left hand, he found a short message.
'Wouldn't want to wake you two up, went to grab some branches. Not gonna be back soon. ;P'
Jebrael let out a small sigh, cautious not to wake you up, and just listened to your peaceful breathing for a few minutes.
And then he cracked a small smile.
That business in the village could wait a few days.

Golden Slumber Spoilers
The relative that “Mr academic imperialism” Tirzard speaks of is definitely  Ufairah right?  I’m not going crazy right? RIGHT?
I thought this was going to be addressed but no! I thought it would end with Tirzard adopting jeht, kinda glad it didn’t but still.
I mean there is a big hole in this theory, Tirzard mentions being young at the time and him and Jebrael are supost to be about the same age. then again Jebrael could just look really good for his age, and Tirzard looks horrible for any age so \_(-_-)_/
