zhonglis so funny bc he's always saying hes just a normal guy now but when you ask anyone about him they just talk about how unnormal he is

#.1 am #genshin impact #zhongli #he sticks out so much everyone knows him people probably recognize him more than the public adeptus in liyue harbor #its so funny i love him #yes hes 7ft tall to me. he doesnt know the standard average human height still #i didnt want to ramble but i think even in incognito as other people people still saw him as an oddball.#some weird guy that popped out of nowhere that works odd jobs and makes up stories to mess with merchants

Sometimes a family is a bisexual blonde bitch who's an adrenaline junkie for life threatening situations, an autistic bilingual manwhore who hides depression under humour, their sharp witted chaotic girlboss daughter with a strange affinity for violence for someone of her standing, the hot wine aunt who could kill everyone but doesn't, and the guy that sells them weapons and drugs for outdated currency.

Thinking about Yusuf and Nicolò as young men again

#the old guard #kaysanova #yusuf al kaysani #nicolo di genova #siggy draws #it ain't much but it's more than i've drawn in months. i miss this sort of cartoony style. like a dreamworks movie almost lol #my brain conjured an anime ending apparently and i can't explain why #maybe they're too girly looking but i didn't feel like using reference pictures so i guess they're bishounen sdfghfds #ahh i usually have director's commentary in the tags #yusuf is probably around 23-25 and nico is 19-22? though i can't say confidently that yusuf would be able to grow a full beard at 23 #but maybe he can maybe he's just that powerful #they're either very sad and lonely or very pensive. or both. maybe they're longing for something more... maybe a true love #i also dk what these clothes are. yusuf has some good clothes on. is probably flourishing as a merchant but still longs for More #nicolo is wearing... a tunic? but it could be a thin gambeson instead. maybe he's learning how to use a sword #i try to capture their best assets in this doodly style: yusuf's eyelashes and cute ears and weirdly shaped eyebrows #and nicolo's nose and heavy brow and the fact that he has almost no lips from the side lol

Hello! I’ve seen your work over the years and every time I see it I always get a kick over it. I have a sociological question to ask you about centaurs. How do humans or other races fit into their lives? Both in a general sense of life, platonically, and romantically? Sorry if you’ve answered this before.

Thank you! It always blows my mind that I've been puttering away in my little corner of the internet with my horse people for this long!

I've covered a couple different specific situations in my cultures; re platonic and romantic? but for the most part is it boils down to that romantic would probably be rare and boil down to individual choices for how they approach it? But for platonic I have sort of covered a lot of platonic relationships just from the standpoint that basically all my centaur cultures have a deep societal tie to another race. At first it was a lot of convenience- a way to get around the difficulties of centaur bodies getting in the way of certain ways of life, but at this point I just do it cause it's lovely to me!

Like the merchants build their cities with the dwarves and they both benefit from the dwarves engineering and centaur's strength and mobility re:trade. The centaurs easily manage huge farms, trade networks, and logging infrastructure on their strength and speed but benefit from dwarves (and a small portion of other bipeds) being better set up for building (try to imagine a centaur making a roof, it's vexed me for a year now..) and generally engineering wizzes so it's a mutually beneficial relationship to entwine their cultures in the main Merchant City

Obviously my Riders are wholly entwined with their biped family as I've talked extensively about in.. too many posts probably haha

but then my very lightly covered Mountain folk have a different, almost religious relationship with the Forest Giants in which the relationship between their two cultures is separate other than the spiritual importance they hold with each other. The giants live approximately 300 years but are very slow, sedate creatures who prize a life of peace and telling stories over all else. So the centaurs almost view them as minor deities and the giants keep and love the stories their fiery little companions entrust to them.

As you can tell, I really love building all these races and cultures and then mashing them together and see what comes out! I find it makes the world feel more real and lived in when I'm not only thinking about how a culture would work and operate, but also how they interact with their neighbors! What's their main export and how does that shape their life and relations?? These are the questions I get LOST in so thank you for asking :D

#asked and answered #centaurs #riders #mountain folk #merchants #I REALLY NEED TO COME UP WITH NAMES #but I have commitment problems #man I can't even get into the other merchant connections #they also work with my version of elves #in their logging operations #and their network of mail delivery taurs have a whole seperate thing with harpies #I LOVE CONNECTING CULTURES #in ways that aren't fighting!

i think more people should talk about how mr and mrs. everdeen’s relationship echoes that of peeta and katniss’s relationship and what this means for their obvious soulmatery

#the merchant x seam pairing #love at first listen (when they sing)#how katniss falls apart after peeta’s (spiritual) ‘death’ the same way her mother fell apart after her husband’s #i think suzanne purposefully infused everlark’s love story with a lot of magic and fatedness and symbolism #like i can go on and on about their epithets being the twelve wedding ceremony #and them getting ‘married’ as children when he gives her the bread #it’s so intentional and beautiful god i will never get over it #the hunger games #everlark #mr everdeen x mrs everdeen
