Um technically my third “post”but if anyone does see this, please pretend it’s my first.
Kinda new to twitter, never used it much till recently but just like to share and discuss my interests if anyone is interested, so uh, yeah!
Somewhat of a journal I suppose
@cakepoops2 The fact her character wasn’t fleshed out more, and left ambiguous, on top of no immediate micro scale consequence is why I find her presence as a villain to be underwhelming.
The constant fakeout deaths kill her imposing threat. In universe explanations aren’t always concrete.
2/2
That said, given we know Beliora has fused with her karma core, it’s highly likely she’s still alive in some form or another.
Something I can appreciate about ZZZ’s writing is the characters feel all too human, Beliora acting as a parallel for Remielle or Sunbringers love
1/2This scene is quite irritating for me, it showcases enchainers CAN retain a semblance of their conscience, and arche and sunbringer were onto something at the very least, it’s just so tragic to see sunbringer believe they might have lost the opportunity to conquer the hollows.
I personally would love to see more void hunter characterisation, *cough* specifically Beliora Vike.
The underlying theme of the first gen void hunters seems to be their de mystification, showcasing that they are still inherently as human as the rest of us despite their legend.
@Malharree Genuinely love how the story re contextualised peoples opinions on visions now, it makes you question if there was ever any meaning to having ambition in the first place. Scaramouche gaining one to symbolise being free from the past, just for the idea of freedom to a notion
@dalmselette I think it’s more so due to the fact the consensus on the fatui at the time was indeed villainous, there wasn’t enough evidence to suggest otherwise given the context and information available to us. I believe it was just a poor subversion of expectations.
An issue I have with genshins writing is just how much they refuse to have meaningful character altercations, as addressing controversy isn’t the same as fleshing it out. Having past issues being brushed to the side in order to collaborate is a pattern they seem to like using…
