I love “blunt vs flowery” bc on one hand the people are like:
“Where is the context? The background for the words? I need a setting for the idea of this. What subtleties are you trying to convey? The layers? WHY ARE THESE WORDS NAKED?!”
Meanwhile we’re like:
“Damn, that’s a whole lot of nothing you’re saying, my guy.”
This of course is me trying to understand the flowery by theorizing that extra “fluff” is them “dressing” the core message with included context of the mindset, emotions, and overall giving a thematic dressing down of the situation.
In contrast, our words must feel like a naked gut-punch of immediate psychic damage.
YES YES, YOU, YOUUU GET IT!!!
IM SO GLAD THATS BEEN TRANSLATING (lol) THRU ALL MY BLUNT LANG POSTS!!
Modern language is in fact, a raw gut punch to these victorian-ass genshin ppl

Also thank you for sending that bc idk the way u described it?? *chefs kiss 🤌✨️
U know what i live for tho?? So they dont have to be "victorian" ik i say that, but i just use it as a way to like reference their speech/put smth recognizable
But IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY IF THEY ACTUALLY TOOK AFTER THAT TIME PERIOD, LIKE THE SPEECH AND THE BITS OF CULUTRE
Like shoulders being scandalous, modern music basically hella sensual/very genuine/vulnerable, etc.
Like- I LIVEEEE
I just wanna hear a sick drum beat in Sumeru and just start modern dancing and everyone's just like- 😳😳😳🙈🙈🙈💘💘💘❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💖💖💖
Anyway, ive got too many other things i wanna talk abt/post abt to get into this now, but i might totally make it a passive AU for future requests :D!!
