Scara and Nahida in an ancient China AU where Nahida's the young princess who snuck out of the palace to see the world and Scara was tasked to bring her back but he's just coming with her instead lmao. Just maybe helping her have a better disguise (aka wear a hat l;jkasdf)
(also up on my sh✧p as a print!)
What a familiar feeling...
I think he's starting to enjoy life on the surface
Perhaps he's not irreparable, he could even try to make new friends
He can do what now
So, the Natlan trailer is out and honestly… I'm disappointed.
I waited 3 years to see my culture represented but these character designs tell me nothing about pre-Hispanic culture or Latam culture as a whole and it's heartbreaking because the map and soundtrack are lovely.
Also, it's sad that some other Latinos are just like "there are white Latinos too." "At least we're getting represented." It's almost like they don't know their own culture. Seriously, do they think that just because a character is named "Citlali" (star in Náhuatl), that's enough?
Also this doesn't feel like genshin at all, why does nations like liyue, inazuma or fontaine have beautiful designs and are inspired on 1 or 2 countries while Natlan is based in TWO CONTINENTS is just like if hoyoverse said "Africa and Latam? Let's mix them together, they are both tropical continents after all"
And it makes me sad because i was planning on doing 2 OCs for natlan both dark skined and based on mexica/aztec and maya culture but seeing those hoyeverse designs… My OCs wouldn't fit their "aesthetic" and i refuse to see my culture used as an "aesthetic" once again from foreigners that don't even care to know and respect it.
Anyways, that's my rant for tonight, sorry but i had to share my thoughts
