Mitya's โsmarty pantsโ reputation is funny because his intelligence isn't portrayed as cold superiority. He'll ramble, apologize, get distracted, and still casually notice something everyone else overlooked.
I imagine Mitya is generally reasonable & forgiving to others, but a total hypocrite to himself.
If someone else makes a mistake? That's ok, they've tried their best.
But if he does? He's going to mentally berate himself with all the names under the sun. #genshintwt
Nick Wolfhard beautifully channeled his real-life bond with his grandfather into Lohen & Adornoโs dynamic.
Adorno anchors Lohenโs chaotic drive, giving his eventual grief & growth a profound emotional payoff.
Thank you, there truly was no better voice for Lohen. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน #genshintwt
Lohen's approach to knighthood is fascinating because he doesn't reject the ideal of protecting people. He rejects the idea that protection has to look respectable. If throwing himself into danger saves someone, he'll do it regardless of how unconventional it looks. #genshintwt
I really like that Mitya doesn't seem to be written as the stereotypical โcold genius.โ
His intelligence isn't presented as emotional detachment. He's curious, expressive, willing to admit when he doesn't understand something & apparently kind of a natural airhead. #genshintwt
I love when a character's kindness isn't soft. Lohen's kindness feels practical. He'll patch your wounds, hand you food, and make sure you survive but don't expect him to tell you everything will be okay unless he believes it. #genshintwt
The loneliness of Lohen isn't that nobody understands him. It's that he deliberately makes himself difficult to understand because vulnerability feels more dangerous than isolation. #genshintwt
Lohen is the type of character whose loyalty becomes self-destructive. Once you've earned his trust, he'll keep choosing you even when it's objectively the worse option for himself. #genshintwt
Lohen being a filler character means that he won't be getting content for a good while. We all knew this but I felt like he could've made an impact in the main story, even as a supporting role or at least present during the Moon-Prayer Night.
I'll feed myself my own hcs I guess.
In military culture, they would suggest labelling your gun as your "wife" as you must have them by your side at all times & have strong bonds with it.
When Lohen says knives are better "wives," it means he prefers to have a blade. He was never comparing them to an actual spouse.
i can see where youโre coming from, it kinda went over my head when i first read it , i just assumed he called his knives his wives because he really adored them or something and didnโt think of further implications
So, is he left-handed or became ambidextrous due to training with his right?
He seems wields his weapons with his left & right, though primarily his left. #genshintwt
Lohen feels like the kind of person who's good at reading everyone except himself.
Like he'd notice immediately if someone was upset, tired, or pretending to be okay and then completely ignore those same signs in himself. #genshintwt
