I turned twenty this Thursday so obviously the best course of action was to draw a drip swap with myself and the homeboy

Excuse the volume sign in the corner I had to screenshot this from my Instagram I’ll fix later

#one of my friends did the math and apparently I have the same waist and hip measurements as venti #which is objectively hilarious #so except for perhaps weird fitting around the chest we could feasibly fit in each other’s clothes #because I am his height too #basically I’m venti with boobs #genshin impact #genshin #genshin fanart #genshin venti #venti #self insert #cecilia’s doodles #happy birthday to myself

People always rank either Ei or Zhongli (or both) above Venti in power rankings. Like, who is the strongest archon? There are always two answers: Morax or Beelzebul. Never Barbatos.

I like to think otherwise.

This guy has cut mountains with his winds and thrown them so far away into the sea, made winter disappear and turned Mond into what it is today: from a barren rocky land that used to be filled with snow and raging blizzards into this green plain field with gentle winds where agriculture is so much easier then it ever was back then. I don't think people of Old Mond could have ever imagined for Mond to turn into what it is today.

But he still calls himself weak. And people took that to face value. And some still do despite it being proven otherwise by Nahida.

Venti said that an archon derives their power from ruling over their nation. But Nahida denies this later and says that archons gain their power through the faith of the people.

Clearly, Venti lied to us.

And if we go by what Nahida said,,,, Every freakin person in Mond has faith in the Anemo archon. They sing praises of him despite not having been in the presence of their god for 5 centuries. He has a statue and a Cathedral (who else has that?).

So, Venti is Strong.

Remember his gnosis is in the shape of a queen chess piece? Queen has the most freedom on the board. Venti's ideals are freedom. And his element is anemo. Anemo is the free-est element out there.

He might as well suck the air out of your lungs if he so wants to. He governs over it.

My point is, Venti is overpowered.

And let's not forget how that little wind wisp gained archon hood.

It was his desire to protect that helped him into becoming a god. When the nameless bard died, he felt the need to protect whats left. To protect what his friend died fighting for.

And its a pretty cliche concept out their about how a hero grows stronger, in any story. Its their need to protect. Right?

And Venti still wants to protect Mond- despite him saying otherwise. He shows up everytime Mond is in danger. Whether directly or indirectly, he always helps out.

So here is what I think. The reason why he calls himself weak.

Its because he is so strong, strong enough to scare Celestia. So Celestia has put him on some sort of leash. He can't use his powers in it's entirety. There is probably some sort of seal.

So Venti is weak.

Because he can't use all of his powers. Because he is chained to Celestia's whim.

Venti is weakest of the seven because he is the only one who has some sort of leash on him.

The god of freedom, chained.

Plus, it can definitely not be a coincidence that the defiled statue was of Barbatos, out of all the seven. Chained, hanging up-side down and corrupted.

And the fact that the abyss order was going to use Barbatos (chained) statue to create a machine to "topple the divine thrones of Celestia."

None of that can be a coincidence. Knowing hoyoverse, it definitely isn't.

So yeah. Venti is definitely not weak. He just can't use the full extent of his powers as of right now.

Venti is strong, but also weak. If he isn't chained- he is easily the strongest.

He can slice the mountains and throw them far into sea- if Zhongli throws a big peice of meteor on him, venti should be able to cut it in half too. if he has all his power on him that is.

I really hate it when people call him weak just because he said so himself. Especially when it's been proven that we shouldn't take his words to face value.

He is not like our sweet little Nahida, people.

#what if said leash is the gnosis #and now that he doesn’t have it he’s just vibing #ain’t got no time to be a destructive force there are more ehes to be ehed #phenomenal cosmic powers #sees no need to use them #so far

Felt like drawing something wholesome for a change. So here's Dadluc napping with his owlets/lion cubs (Jean's taking the photo). Oldest to youngest (and also coincidentally top to bottom children): Nessa (10), Lucas aka mini dad (8), Selene (7)

Fatherhood looks good on Diluc tbh

And yes Nessa‘s plushie is from Uncle Kae hehehehe

hehe while I was drawing this my friend and I were thinking that while maddened he believes he’s imparting righteous judgement and purification upon the “impure” which would be especially impactful if he did end up being least active and/or against what went on in Khaenri’ah and in fact I as an amateur Venti impressionist I am writing and hopefully recording boss lines

It’s gonna be fun learning how to distort audio

Be not afraid…child…

Yeah...felt the deep primal need for a somewhat bibilically accurate angel Venti and decided to make him a boss basically immediately after finishing the lineart.

He's teal and not pink because this isn't abyssal corruption, he's possessed by a fragment of Decarabian's consciousness

I drew this while listening to the incredible Venti boss theme by Farabi Hasan Music on loop on YouTube check it out if you want the full mentally scarring experience (/j)

Anatomy study ft. Zhongli

I feel like I should mention that for a good chunk of the drawing process I was listening to Keith Silverstein rapping

Anatomy study 3 ft. Childe

Stretch marks bc he literally doubles his height in Foul Legacy mode and abyss markings on his chest because I was too cowardly to draw more than one uncensored nip

Also he has a hydro vision and an electro delusion you cannot tell me he hasn’t electrocuted himself at least once hence the hand scars

And yes some of those were caused by bears (plural) because he’s a disaster and has absolutely tried to wrestle bears more than once

Breaking up the anatomy studies with angst because I’m currently doing a series of archons post-cataclysm

Before you ask yes he is indeed unclothed and the only thing between me and getting shadowbanned right now are his wings. Was not originally intended to be that way but I liked the vulnerability in the sketch.

New series alert: anatomy studies aka Cecilia Detwinkifies Genshin Tall Men ft. Diluc

I was inspired in part by @leeryder ‘s recent works and also to appease some of y’all thirsty losers (myself included)

No front view yet because l'm a coward and I've already decided my first front view will be Kaeya because Kaeya would be Like That and also we all know a back view would be rather disappointing

venti ramble: his hidden strength is oddly beautiful...?

y'know, daytodayventi's art on twt/tumblr are one of the main reasons why i figured out i have a taste for his seemingly innocent, charming, playful, and happy-go-lucky personality with a soft body and features and is constantly underestimated and dubbed as "weak" by people only to have his character be one of the most singlehandedly terrifying potential we've ever known because of the fact that he doesn't ever show this side of him often.

it's terrifying. and i love terrifying characters, specifically his genre of terrifying characters, especially if they are yandere. it's terrifying because you just wouldn't ever see it coming.

"what do you mean venti can't destroy anything to bits and lash out he wouldn't do that-" honey, he would. he knows he can, and if he wants it, he will. it's the fear of knowing his hidden strength could cause so much damage is what is motivating him to keep himself contained.

i want him to snap. he should do it. it would be sexy.

@carmendeiact2whenplz @dearestxiao

#i mean have you SEEN his burst #I got him #maxed his levels #and tested him out and ONE Bennett boosted burst killed everything before I could break Xiao out #my MAIN #I‘m now scared of him

I’m tired of people acting like Zhongli is a serious and chill guy who would never cause problems on purpose as if he isn’t one of the biggest menaces out of the Seven. He used to throw mountains at Venti for annoying him. He, the god of history, starts fights among historians for shits and giggles. He tried to gaslight the Traveler into thinking he was totally not at the Chasm guys really Aether/Lumine you must be seeing things maybe you should go see Baizhu. When Qiqi wanted “Cocogoat” milk he was like “Oh yeah sure totally let’s go look for it” knowing damn well it was a wild goose chase. He made the Traveler sing to a flower and then was like “Oh would you look at that” when a Whooperflower jumped out to maul them. I love him. He’s like a cat pushing things off the counter to see how people react. I would pay to see him interact directly with Neuvillette because I know for a fact he’d get on that man’s nerves and argue about water tasting just to feel something. Furina used freedom from godhood to take a nap and Zhongli used it to give psychic damage to anyone who talks to him longer than 5 minutes. Iconic.
