Thinking about How this official art could possibly be from the Original Timeline when everything was the first time for the both of them.
And also judging by Lu Guang’s carefree, genuinely serene and Happy smile that hides no thoughts of Altering past or rewinds.
Not to mention—
“I still remember the way you danced under heavy rain
Hold out you hands and embraced
When clouds never seemed to fade away, away, away, away~”

Boycott hoyoverse, please.
I used to be a big genshin impact lore buff, i played, i read, i was on forums, i made fanart, and then i was deeply disrespected by the game itself (this post is about natlan)
I am brazilian and i follow a religion named candomblé. Long story short, its from yoruba people who were sent to brazil as slaves, then went through a big process of spreading out to not just black people, but light-skinned people of lower classes like my family. We believe in the creation by Olorum, the power of Axé, and the Orixás.
Natlan, as of now, has two characters named Iansan and Ororon. These names come from not just the yoruba predecessors of candomblé, but also the religion itself, the Orixá deities Iansã and Olorum.
My religion, my deities. My mother's deities. The statuettes in my house. Their names are recycled cheaply to be used trivially. Never have we of candomblé ever gotten mentioned by AAA games or films that give such attention to detail like Genshin does, and we are disrespected. Our Gods are used like rags for someone's profit to be thrown away, washed out. They do not convey our beauty, our grit, our wonder, they do not convey us but they profit from us.
People love to tell us that it is just a game, but think again: games are not entitled to disrespect us just because of their nature. We are entitled to complain, to scream, because this is cruelty. You brutalize our image, butcher our names, for what?
When I was younger, I used to look at games with religious imagery very curiously. It was always weird to see the faith of the people I know be used for aesthetic reasons or just because it looks cool. The same has now happened to me, but times worse. People will say anything to justify this mockery and throw excuses to keep playing the product of a corporation that won't ever understand what it means to be us.
Boycott, complain, scream, because I will do it too. I regret the time I invested in playing, in reading, in watching, in dedicating myself to something that would never do me justice. It is not expensive to change a character's name, not even talking about the model. I don't plan on re-entering the fandom while it still lies unaware of the gross source material's true colors. Candomblé is not mythology, it's faith. We are alive. We have existed for centuries and will continue to grow, despite the challenges we face.
when you read "gabv1el" do you read it like "gabe-vee-el" or "gabe-vree-el" or like "gabe-vee-one-el"

Hi everyone, my name is Khaled Smeer. I am the manager of a large mall in Gaza before the war, and I am also an English translator. I live in the northern part of Gaza, and I created this campaign after my home was destroyed. Now, in northern Gaza, we are starving. We have nothing—no clothes, no food. Please, if you can help by sharing this or donating, I would be extremely grateful. I am trying to evacuate from Gaza when the border crossing opens. We need 5,000 USD for one person to leave. Thank you for reading my story. Thanks to everyone who does anything for Palestine My first goal will be 500 euros. I hope everyone will🥺
Please help if you can!
