No because if I was Viggo I’d ALSO be fucking pissed off?? Like you’re this mastermind dragon hunter that is running possibly the largest operation in the entire of the archipelago that is family owned and ran with your older brother with hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of henchmen to do your dirty work and whenever people even MENTION your name they get scared and you’re this big strong powerful dude in his like mid forties but then a group of mother fucking barely adult stupid ass kids show up and successfully threaten your entire business model? Everything was fine yesterday but then this gaggle of incompetent fools show up with their stupid reptiles and suddenly you’re in a war??? AND the fucking malnourished stick insect of a leader they have has the AUDACITY to steal an ancient relic off of one of your predecessors ships??? AND THEN THEY BLOW UP YOUR ONLY MODE OF LONG FORM TRANSPORTATION??? AND THEN THEY RELEASE A BUNCH OF YOUR STOCK AND SINK THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YOUR PROFITS BY SAVING THE DRAGONS YOU CAPTURED??? WHAT??? MOTHER FUCKER HAD EVERY SINGLE RIGHT TO START A WAR. HICCUP AND HIS STUPID ASS FRIENDS SHOWING UP AND JUST TANKING YOUR WHOLE ASS LIFE??? IMAGINE BEING A FUCKING KING PIN CRIMINAL EXPERT IN DRAGON TRADING AND YOU LOSE AN ENTIRE WAR TO A GLORIFIED WALKING EMBODIMENT OF AWKWARDNESS AND HIS 5 WEIRD LITTLE CREATURES HE TAKES AROUND WITH HIM. IMAGINE HAVING TO SIT THERE IN YOUR COOL ASS DRAGON HUNTER EVIL LAIRE AND PLAN HOW YOU WERE GONNA FIGHT OFF THE LITTLE RUNT OF BERK HEIR GUY THAT WON’T GIVE UP. IMAGINE?? FUCKING IMAGINE????
WHO WOULD NOT BE PISSED??? THAT MAN HAD A VERY EXTREMELY RATIONAL REACTION BECAUSE THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FOUNDATION OF HIS LIFE??? HIS ENTIRE CAREER GOT NOT JUST ENDED BUT FORCEFULLY FUCKING SLAMMED INTO A WALL OF CONCRETE AND CURB STOMPED BY A FUCKING STEAM ROLLER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. I mean sure yeah he put up the biggest fight of the century and did his whole ‘I’m gonna mess with your head until you go insane and just fuck off and leave me alone you stupid little annoying boy get a life,’ thing BUT STILL HICCUP WON THAT WAR AND THE AGE OF 18. EIGHT GOD DAMN TEEN.
@blood-orange-juice You did ask, so I will answer to the best of my abilities and somewhat coherently. I've included links if you want to look at the stuff yourself!
So, Natlan is given to be based off of the Aztec civilizations and I reason this because of the Talking Stick lore and the person who wielded it, Tenoch. 'Tenoch' is based off of 'Tenochtitlan', the capital of the Aztec Empire.
Another reason that I'm leaning harder into the Aztec aspect of this theory is because of Neuvillette's official introduction quote, which was spoken by an 'Xbalanque' (a figure in Aztec mythology). Xbalanque was one of the 'Maya Hero Twins' in their mythology and since Aztec civilization and culture were inspired so much by the Classic Mayans that came before them, I will also be taking this into account.
I bring up the Maya Hero Twins specifically because Xbalanque has an older brother who goes by the name Hunahpu and they are the sons of Hun-Hunahpu. In their mythology, they go to seek out their father's decapitated head and their uncle's remains that are in the underworld, walking the same path they did. There is an incident where in Xibalba (the equivalent of the underworld), Hunahpu's head gets decapitated.
In the myth itself, Xbalanque uses trickery to get his brother's head back and it seems that Hunahpu was able to be brought back to life. Eventually, they retrieve the remains and not only go back to the surface but eventually ascend to godhood. Hunahpu becomes the sun and Xbalanque becomes the moon.
The way that I can tie this into Genshin lore-esque terms is rather simple in the sense that there are three major points to this possibly coming into play:
Genshin really, really likes twins or pairs of characters (Makoto and Ei, Nahida and Rukkhadevata, Furina and Focalors)
There have been examples of allogenes ascending to godhood before (Vennessa, Guhua)
The blatant Sun and Moon imagery and comparisons scattered throughout the lore (Spiral Abyss, Primordial One)
As to what this has to do with Capitano, I raise you this question:
Where's his head? Do we ever see it? No, we don't.
Also, note that Capitano is on his way to Natlan to get the gnosis from the Pyro Archon and that he's the First Harbinger. The strongest Harbinger. The Harbinger that can kill gods.
This one is a bit far-fetched, I will admit, but the fact that Xbalanque was namedropped so early into Natlan's eventual release, the fact that Capitano was mentioned as going to Natlan as far as 3.5 (Mika's lore), and that he has no face of which to speak of points to two theories of mine:
Capitano can either be Hunahpu or Hun-Hunahpu and if you take into the fact that Xibalba = underworld = (possibly) The Abyss, this can make for very, very interesting things concerning the plot down the line.
i think of this ProZD video constantly its always so fucking funny
one thing the human emotional range is lacking is the predator animal ability to stare at people while holding the limp, bloody corpse of your prey in your mouth
many such cases
Mr Sampo Wormski because I care him
Might be in part due to the stress but this news legit just made me cry.
Take Fremmy to the aquarium day !
