/breathes. This icon is called killme003.png for the sake of this post because honestly, where yesterday I was rather demotivated from writing up more meta, I woke up today with the strength of all Aeons in existence (and... not-so-in-existence-anymore) for intense research. So I put my thoughts through the sternest 'let's try to shake and shoot up the perspective/logic/theory' process that I could manage, and it's still standing. If anything, I'm more certain than I was yesterday or a week ago, that MHY is doing something substantial, and vastly nuanced with this damned character. I thought I had big-brain thoughts on/for Guizhong, but I don't know if those hold a candle to the ones I have for Kafka (actually, they really do). My issue with this lady in wine though, I don't know where to start writing it all down. It's like 10 messy whiteboards that are hypotheses on her trailer, the words she uses therein, "Don't be afraid, listen to me, wasn't it you, who invited me?", "Destiny has thousands of faces, why does it choose to wear this one?", "Stealing a glance?" during someone's final moments during her spirit whisper? Like, come on, you can't tell me she doesn't play into fate somehow beyond what we've all obviously gathered. You can't tell me that there isn't a more authentic face that has been staring right at us this entire time. She borderline if not directly says it right to us, but we're almost taught to not listen anymore, to think that there's more to something, but what if writers are using that against us, what if this is an instance where we should take words at direct face value? On top of everything else, of course. Fate is "inevitable" and right in front of us always, after all.
God, imagine a being tied so intricately woven into fate (vastly differently from Elio, mind you), speaking quotes upon quotes about the inevitability of fate, and being tied to nihilism, and yet firmly holding some sort of faith into choice, and hounds us on it. I mean come on, one of the main quotes in the entire story of HSR are her words: "When you have the chance to make a choice, make one that you know you won't regret." And she directly tells us in her own SQ, and it is a confirmed truth and not a lie, that Kafka herself does not believe destiny to be predetermined. Now to what capacity? We don't know. But the contrast of this, the rich nuance in this drives me insane. The duality of this woman, the spider (which itself is already a duality of a creature) and the butterfly (not necessarily as juxtaposed as one would believe, it all depends on perspective), the curiosity/fascination opposite her boredom, the ease of her killing which is reinforced with the emotional distance of her submachine guns, and yet she speaks how we should "let morality be our (your) guide", which fits perfectly alongside the decision of having her wield a katana, a blade that was worn by those following the highest code of honor? Speaking of emotional distance, the way she speaks of humans and humanity feels so distant, along with her talk of fragility. God, I just, want to shake HVY very firmly and fiercely. The fact that her eyes are highly likely to be concealed (hello, red), the fact that her voice is altered consistently, and yet we're shown the depth and warmth of her actual voice, and the empathy it holds consistently around primarily one person (almost two).
I love writing meta, but I don't know where to begin. I don't know where to start, but I'll get there. I just wanted to show how messy my mind is, I suppose. It makes perfect sense in my head, I've seen the dots, I've connected them, I see you MiHoYo, and you're giving me everything my brain needs in terms of latching my claws into something. But my god, where do I start writing it all down.

A quick reminder to all of you, especially trans people. You are valid and enough. You don't need to change anything about yourself to be your chosen gender, just be yourself, that's the most important thing. I hope you all an amazing day/night/afternoon.
PEACE

another (rushed) geo x sona comic bc i was thinking about going to bother him while he's working- geo belongs to @8um8le as always
it's all under the cut since it's a mess ahaha
i tried implying that they'd been together a while already in this and made them cringe on purpose 🥰 ahh, indulgence
so y'know when you do something just b/c you wanna see your partner yell at you? ☺️ yeah

Does anyone know if there's a name for the sound a straw makes when you suck on it and there's barely any liquid in the cup?
You know the one
The sound that you make on purpose to bother everyone else at the table
That sound that's placed in the middle of an awkward pause
The one that your parents would tell you not to make in fancy restaurants
I don't care in what language, there has to be a name for it
This sound is universal

something i’ve been thinking about is how people feel like they have to be overly nice to people on here to make anyone like them, to the point of refusing to speak about things that aren’t sunshine and rainbows and i just want to say that you shouldn’t have to basically kiss people’s asses and act like a “mom friend” to make people like you. you should be able to voice your opinions on things without worrying about whether people are gonna like it or not (i don’t mean like causing drama or posting pointless callout shit), because if people don’t like that you’re pointing out stuff that needs attention brought to it, they aren’t worth following in the first place. basically, just don’t be afraid to speak your mind. at the end of the day, the people on this hellsite are just people on the internet you don’t know and you shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells around strangers lol.
