I know objectively the next part of the scene, where Sofia teaches Katya how to each a pomegranate and tells her about the mythology of Persephone and Hades and the pomegranate juice stains Katya’s suit is the more iconic part, and for good reason, but like, especially considering how feral we’ve all gotten about the resurgence of this movie this past week, I couldn’t help but dig up an old copy of the script to emphasize that last line, which I feel like we’ve definitely been skipping over in our discourse.

#goncharov #goncharov 1973 #katya x sophia #katya goncharov #the fruit vendor scene #i first watched this movie in middle school during my greek mythology phase #and let me tell you this scene had me unhinged #like #the story of persephone and hades which is canonically a rape and a loss of innocence #but here sofia is giving katya all the information she needs to make informed consent #and then also with athena looming behind them which evokes the idea of knowledge #or at least wisdom #which in and of itself evokes goncharov and andrey’s apple scene #which is also about forbidden knowledge but handled so differently #(okay but am I too late to the party?)#(did I do it did I goncharov?)

Every single member of the Hamato family is equipped with the cantrip Vicious Mockery and 80% of its use is friendly fire.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #is it a headcanon if it’s true #2% of the non-friendly fire time it’s used on villains #3% on randos #and the last 15% is exclusively for Warren Stone #for the 80% friendly fire a good 50% is directly to Leo #25% Donnie #3% Raph and Splinter #2% everyone else #Leo: *breathes*#Literally Everyone: You gotta be humbled #Leo’s wisdom stat being shocking high is what saves him from insta death on the regular #meanwhile Warren Stone exists in the Hamatos’ lives exclusively to be mocked and you know what #he’s the villain who’s treated most like family ❤️#by virtue of being mocked just like them lol #even a regular chill day isn’t enough to save the fam’s hit points #they’re always missing at least some from vicious mockery alone #rip Leo at least a quarter of his hit points are gone daily 😔

I saw a friend the other day and she was like “have you read the great divorce” and I said no “and she said well it’s very hard to explain but basically the souls in heaven are more solid than the souls in hell and I just wanna tell you that you’re getting more and more solid every time I see you” and when I say that’s one of the most personal things anyone has ever said to me

#like. yeah. it’s the suffering #Also not to belabor the point but it IS the growing up #my mom in her wisdom keeps being like ‘and what is grown up’ and she is real for that and I’m sure right #but I’m like. well it exists at least relatively and it’s been happening to me

still thinking about that stat chart....mhin fight back against the weak allegations omgg

#im a bit flabberghasted #TWO???? 😭 not even three TWO??#like i feel lied to i thought they were really strong??? are they weak in comparison to the other cast members? that doesnt really make muc #sense though considering their curse unless theyre weak as hell without it which i dont think is true either #only other answer i can think of is that its possibly in relation to other ppl with that same curse??? but that idea assumes that this isnt #something unique to them that this kind of curse is at least semi common which. gives me more questions than answers.#idk maybe this doesnt make sense im just rambling #also unrelated to that specific stat but self-loathing being 5 and wisdom being 1 is really funny #★ my silly text posts #my touchstarved ramblings #my silly theory posts #touchstarved mhin #touchstarved game

"Silk Flowers grow in pairs on small red bushes"

Other archon having twins

Zhobgli is suspicious

(Plus the god of eternity saying his story is not yet over)

“~twin where have you been~”

it’s still pretty interesting that Zhongli doesn’t have a ‘twin’

it is very clear one of the main themes of genshin is family especially between that of siblings (twins)

the traveler is the twin and all of the archons -the main characters of their respective regions have “twins”.

Venti has the nameless bard, Ei and Makoto, Nahida and Rukkhadevata, Furina and Focalors. These are characters that look identical but live very different lives.

A core part of each archon is their relationship with their respective twin. Ei struggled to move on after Makoto died, Rukkha was everything Nahida dreamed of being, Focalors made Furina play a part for 500 years. I am unsure of the dynamic of Venti and his bard but it’s pretty easy to assume he gave his life great meaning and considering he looks just like him he never could move or wanted to forget what he looked like.

So the fact Zhongli doesn’t have anybody with that kind of connection is really odd lol. I've complained so many times like “Zhongli!! where is your silly clone!” and he refuses to answer my calls. Rex Lapis is represented by silk flowers but they grow in pairs but where is Rex Lapis’ pair? Where is the moon to his beautiful sun???

Some people argue a more metaphorical twin for Zhongli is Rex Lapis/the Exuvia. The point of the Liyue archon quest was Zhongli stepping down from a role he has had for thousands of years and considering the way he talks about Rex Lapis/geo archon (he always refers to him in third person) I believe Zhongli sees him as a separate person entirely. So losing Rex Lapis was like losing his twin. Casting his exuvia aka body double on a crowd of people and burying Rex Lapis was Zhongli’s conclusion with his “twin”. He ended his reign and made peace with his life.

But at the same time I feel that interpretation is so ehhhh. Like all of the twins we’ve seen were their own person with their own thoughts and feelings. Like yeah furina and focalors were once the same person but that was no longer the case when focalors brought out the scissors and said act woman.

Let’s get venti and zhongli out of the way cause they are a little weird from the rest of the seven but we’ve never met “Rex Lapis” and then he doesn’t have a human form like the rest of them. We have talked or at least heard the voices of the “other twin” . We met rukkha, we heard makoto and neuvi let us see focalors.

A big part of the archons is their relationship with their other half but Zhongli’s stories most always focus on someone else-a different god a different entity there is just so little of what we know about him comes from his own mouth.

Besides when you look at the visual symbolism then all the archons are represented by the moon and shadows. They live in the shadows of the "twin" if almost haunted by them. They cannot live up to their glory or they are forced to be someone they are not. These 'twins' are the reason for our archon's (hell even the traveler's) existence and journey, it is why they continue forward until they eventually find new meaning in life.

However Morax is always represented by the sun and light, and you could argue that Zhongli is the moon to Rex Lapis’ sun but if you look as his symbols -his golden eyes, the golden light he uses to save xiao and his interactions with the people of Liyue he still holds that warmth.

Next the big revelation for Zhongli was his relationship with Liyue itself, not himself. We could argue that the existence of "Rex Lapis, The Geo Archon" was intertwined with that relationship but Zhongli's narrative is stepping down and taking his hands off Liyue not any personal struggle. If Liyue had failed his test he would've remained the geo archon for the foreseeable future.

That means, Liyue itself is more of his twin, it is something that plays a huge role in his identity and leaving it behind and moving forward is the core of his arc. It is Liyue that made Zhongli play the part of the geo archon, it is Liyue that made him turn on friend or foe if they were are threat, Liyue and its people are the motivation for everything Rex Lapis did. Morax’s love for his people defined every action that he did as the geo archon.

Long story short ehh if push comes to shove I can accept Zhongli's dragon clone as his twin but I would also argue against it because it doesn’t hold thematic weight that the other twins do!

In the end, we can still safely assume that zhongli’s twin has gone awol but then who are they!!! Each archon has a pair that is meant to parallel the relationship between our travelers Aether and Lumine but where is such a twin???

I've talked so much about Zhongli about everything but Ei mentions in her voice lines that she believes his story isn't anywhere finished. She even talks about him in Zhongli's teaser way back in 2020, "in his long life he has met countless people and shall meet countless more still. As they say: waters change course but mountains move not". Its kind of neat the god of eternity says your story isn't over

I may be a delusional zhongli stan but I don't think it is farfetched to say he is veryyy suspicious. We don't know his true form, we don't know the truth of his contracts, we don't know if he's hiding a twin, and the goddess of eternity herself believes his journey will continue forward.

Could he be missing a twin because he's not from Teyvat? What if he lost his counterpart a long time ago? What if we have simply not met Zhongli's twin and the two of them are separated from each other much like the traveler? I always believed Zhongli kind of crashed into Teyvat like a meteor or shooting star and that's why he's kind of weird but it could be possible that Zhongli's counterpart is just not here either long dead or with a different destiny.

Fun fact to add to Zhongli’s weirdness; Did you know Zhongli and Neuvillette are the only playable characters whose constellations are different from their character quest? Zhongli's constellation is Lapis Dei but his story quest is Historia Antiqua, much like Neuvillette's constellation is Leviathan Judicator but his story quest is called Diluvies. Which is weird cause Venti has the same constellation as Zhongli (Carmen Dei) but Venti's quests line up. Like is it a dragon thing but why?

Then most of the original archons croaked during the cataclysm and Venti went into a coma. How did Zhongli get out of the damn thing unscathed? Why didn't he lose his twin or die and shit?

I know in my soul Zhongli is hiding the secrets of the world in that pretty little head of his. He's just a bum and refuses to share it with the crowd.

#zhongli #archons #genshin impact #noooo #this is too long again #this was definetly a yap session #but like really though where is his twin!#where is zhongli 2 #like ive seen so many people at least on twitter say zhongli's twin is his exuvia and like *shrug* SURE I GUESS #but its still so different from the others UNLESS you count the exuvia as Liyue itself which is rather metaphorical then the physical twin #speaking of which what the fuck is the god of contracts #freedom eternity wisdom justice war and love are all common abstract concepts and normal things for gods to be #what the hell is contracts like if it were truth or power or even promise that would make sense #but contracts are not nearly as abstract as the rest of them fuckers #maybe if it were relationships instead of contracts but that sounds rather romantic doesn't it?#me writing this: uhh where do i put a page break this time #long story short he's weird!!!#zhongli is super weird!!!#why is all his fucking shit cubes!#also if we consider zhongli and exuvia a twin what fucking parallel is that to traveler UNLESS you look at it as the final stage #and you know during the lantern rite event paimon writes a little blurb about the regions and is like we've been through the land of winds #and for liyue it is the final destination of a star SEE HOW i can connect this back to star!zhongli but also the traveler is a star #maybe the end of the traveler's journey is letting go of their twin like zhongli let go of liyue

partner is going through old photos and sent me this one of him at 18

he is 33 and has not aged. not one day. this is not a joke. I'm going to get arrested???

I am 36 and married to a Goofy Teen Boy. He has a masters degree and teaches teenagers who try to emasculate him all damn day and it doesn't matter because he does not fucking care?? lmao try again losers? he likes Gilbert and Sullivan and fixing typewriters and dressing up like a church-going senior citizen every day and his softness is The Whole Point

when we go to our prenatal appointments together the nurses are always looking him up and down before asking, "...and who is this?"

as if he's my fucking nephew or something

when actually this tween-looking megadork impregnated a six-foot tall giantess Viking woman on like, the first try

#bride of fred #my fucking SPOUSE #tmi maybe? idk spoilers but we fucked and that's how I got pregnant weird I know #yes I can and do carry him princess style because he deserves it #I swear to god when he had his wisdom teeth out as an adult man in his 30s the dental assistant mistook me for his MOM #she didn't SAY IT but I could just TELL #he is THREE. YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME #that's IT #me: ages fairly normally I think I look fine #him: some kind of time lord and/or robot controlled by aliens playing the Sims #at least he'll never die and our children will never be lonely I guess

advice on getting a job as a teenager? like do u truly just go in there and ask

i worked like five different (shitty minimum wage) jobs by the time i had turned 18 and honestly sometimes it really does come down to just going to your local shitty fast food joint and tracking down the 38yo manager named Ryan or Rick or something and asking if they’re hiring and hey, they are! cuz john who did the food prep just got arrested last week soooo when can you start? how bout right now? nah you don’t need a uniform c’mon get back here. look here’s how you work the giant industrial meat slicer! now you gotta slice faster than that because dinner rush is in twenty minutes and—

#asks #other advice?#i know online applications are big these days #but HONESTLY a lot of places that routinely hire teenagers don’t check those regularly #in my experience at least #so it’s good to go in-person too so your name and number won’t be lost to the void #what elseeee #try and watch for red flags #i worked in some bad places because i was desperate #but good luck!!! welcome to The Workforce #if you’d like more advice feel free to ask!#i suffered through a tonnnn so i am happy to pass down my hard-earned wisdom

in any post about nahida and scara you will see people in the comments say they are like siblings, like mother and son, like aunt and nephew. and like none of those explain it to me. i literally can not think of a regular family dynamic to describe what they have going on there. it doesnt sound like its too complicated until you try to give it a name

#i think aunt nahida hits closest though.#idk #shes full of childish whimsy and ancient wisdom all at once. she looks like she'd be his younger sister but she is literally older than him #(not by much in the grand scale of things but older nonetheless)#i dont think shes quite a mother #or at least not Only that #slight tangent id like more content about scaramouche helping her with HER issues because oh does she have them.#my posts #nahida #scaramouche #scaraposting #kusanali #wanderer
