The moment when he loses the Gnosis was the moment he loses himself once again.
His weapon, his tool, his...toy.
He didnt want to rule a nation or to destroy another one just because; he wanted to be recognize as someone of value & worth of affection.
The moment he releases that he lost the battle and is going to get the gnosis taken back, is the moment when he starts to have a crisis.
His theatrics and his play of being a god ends; and he begins to plead, asking to please return his "toy" back to him.
He curses, filled with hatred & rage towards the ones that took his toy away, - even if it is for his own good and the sake of others - yet, he doesn't understands this.
"Anything but the gnosis...!"
As a kid, he treasures his toys with great care, and as a kid, he loses he's own control when there are no more toys to play anymore.
He screams & cries, then the wires connecting him to the mecha break aggressively.
He even breaks and hangs from the machine where he is, humiliating himself in desperation to recover what he believes belongs to him.
"I'll never... I'll never go back!"
When his toy was taken away, he lets us know that he doesn't want to go back to his life as The Balladeer.
Where his only purpose was to be subject of experiments and to be used for someone else's plans.
Then he stumbles in his recklessness...
Just to fall deep in his misery & feeling of emptiness.
Now, he's shut down and doesn't respond to any stimulus.
It looks like he enters in a process of grief or depression, which is totally understandable.
He lost a precious thing, something he considered that made him worth of affection & respect, something he has been searching all his life.
He is again… lost in a deep slumber.
But he's not they boy he used to be hundred of years ago.
He's not Kunikzushi anymore, nor he is Kabukimo or The Balladeer, or even Scaramouche.
He doesn't even have a name.
But that's no sign of defeat or emptiness, it is a sign of a new beginning, a sign of choice.
The story of the puppet soldier & the ballerina doll really help to understand him better.
The search to be smth else than a simple & still soldier, to become a beautiful ballerina.
Being threw to the fire and turning into ashes.
But discovering at the end that there's still a hearth within the soldier.
Fortunately, for his own sake…or the good of others, he has people that will help him find a new meaning in his new life.
Not as the puppet of an archon, nor as a Fatui Harbinger, & not even as an omnipresent god.
But as a simple, yet persevering Wanderer.
Pretty outfit
Peace and love
It is inherently fun and sexy to say statements that swap the traditional genders of pronouns and terms mid-statement, such as: "I'm going to make him my wife" "She's my boyfriend" "Who says a guy can't be a pretty princess?" "That girl's the coolest dude I've ever met" "She's a madman who has to be stopped" "It's not his fault he's a material girl" Gender is a set of watercolors and the prettiest shades come from mixing the paints together.
Notice how chiscara is the only ship ever? Yeah
I love how nahida is 5 pennies tall
Some Wanderer and Nahida interactions!! Some of them were inspired from the fanfics I read
when you’re a sopping wet pathetic dragon and you’re handling your divorce from your twink wife horribly
i swear to god people need to learn the difference between ai generated voice and vocal synth. mastering the art of a vocal synth is hard. you have to tune that shit yourself. you have to edit the vocals and do it all yourself. it takes hours to get a synth to sing a song well. when people make covers of songs with miku they are not just imputing a song and boom she sings it. not like how people do with ai. also, vocal synths were created specifically to assist musicians who struggle with finding vocalists (hiring a vocalist is fucking expensive) or cant provide vocals on their own. vocal synths are instruments and tools that one needs to learn and master, and they get their voice providers from people who 100% consented to having their vocals used. hatsune miku is not ai. using vocaloid or synthv or utau is not anything like lazily ai generating a voice at all. grow the fuck up.
Scara would make fun of Ajax for ranking 11 in a group with only 9 people
quite upsetting that no one is grabbing those extremely grabbable hips :/
I still print out this post by "stridersknowbest" and tape it in every sketchbook. 💖
HC that Killer Talks/meows back to his cats all the time and that he also started sharing this hobby with Cross hehehehe
This is pretty much unfinished but i still like the result
Passive Nightmare belongs to Jokublog
Despite everything, it’s still you.
smallest mom in the world. very quick colors on a very old sketch
campus heartthrob of the akademiya senior scara and boss childe with their fan clubs
My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
the first thought to come to mind was tartaglia
i imagine before he’s about to give fatuimouche some divine head he starts singing his praises to the tsaritsa for the blessing that is whatever is between scara’s legs (anything u want idc)
like he’s already on his knees so he just clasps his hands, eyes squeezed shut and mutters the most earnest prayer to the tsaritsa before he dives in
and scara is watching in absolute shock and bemusement turned amusement that this ginger mortal is actively saying grace between his legs
feeds into his ego and his interest in childe so he still tolerates him no matter how much he wants to grab him by his ahoge and wring him around sometimes
so it’s a win win for both of them
