I like to think that Ratio has scary observational skills when it comes to anything that interests him (e.g. Aventurine)
He takes note of Aven's body language, habits, his speech patterns etcetc. Even some physical traits like the perfumes he uses, his lip gloss, his shampoo etc
This is actually *really important*. Never set your baseline at 100%, in anything. If you assume that your ability to perform must meet a standard you can only meet on your best days you are going to have a bad time.
Sebelumnya gw udah bahas soal Third Descender yang masuk ke Teyvat tapi nasibnya berujung tragis. Tapi buat yang miss, sebenarnya total ada 4 descender yang udah masuk ke Teyvat.
Yang pertama jelas, Heavenly Principles (HP). Mereka merupakan entitas yang sama sebagai Primordial One sebagaimana dideskripsikan di buku Before Sun and Moon. Mereka merupakan entitas pertama dari luar Teyvat yang menetap di sana setelah mengalahkan Seven Sovereigns.
Descender kedua adalah Nibelung. Aslinya dia Raja Naga yang memimpin Teyvat sebelum kedatangan HP. Dia dapat peringatan dari Anacharsis bahwa dunia itu ditakdirkan untuk hancur. Hal itu mendorong Nibelung buat pergi ke lautan penuh bintang dan menciptakan 3 bulan (Aria, Canon, Sonnet) buat memerintah Teyvat.
Sayangnya, Nibelung menjumpai Abyss dan menemukan Forbidden Knowledge (dugaan sementara dari gw adalah dia terkontaminasi Abyss, bukan mencari kekuatan Abyss atau malah mati karena Abyss lalu Abyss mereplikasi jasadnya).
Pas kembali ke Teyvat, Nibelung ngumpulin kaum naga untuk melawan HP dalam War of Funerary Flames yang membawa dunia ke ambang kehancuran. Meski Nibelung tewas di tangan HP, Nibelung sendiri membuat HP mengalami luka parah sehingga mengganggu otoritas mereka dalam mengatur tatanan asli dunia itu.

i can't get over this. valeriy had NO reason to STOP AND HELP ALYOSHA FIX HIS HOODIE and TELL HIM TO STAY SAFE while IN THE MIDDLE OF A CHASE...?? why is he so helpful and kind. why is he perfect. what the hell
i love the idea of valeriy having to bend down whenever mitya would ask him for a kiss. but then he’s go further—picking up mitya in his arms and pinning him against the wall.
the taller man enjoys the way mitya would wrap his arms and legs around him, accompanied by—
"The Mirror of the Beauty, why does it reflect their fear?"
So that's why Kafka has a Mirror of Transcendence in her possession.
Because she cannot feel fear!
"i see myself in you"
i could write entire essays about feixiao and aventurine's character parallels and how kakavasha would have turned out so differently if someone had saved him before he had to save himself
The fact that even Tartaglia's homicidal line is a eng mistranslation means that Capitano seeing him as pure-hearted and getting angry on his behalf for what Signora and Morax forced him to do in Liyue is just getting more true and true, omfg.
