my first written podcast flopping impact

lately i’ve been thinking about starting a podcast. i genuinely think i’m enjoyable to listen to. yet i think i’d do it with a different name. it feels safer. it’s almost 2am, my desk is a mess and i should be sleeping because i have to wake up early (which is to say: today). but instead i was thinking until i killed the battery of my laptop while playing genshin. ihaven’t played in a while. 

i lied. i literaly log in every day. 파이팅 even in hard conditions...

what i was actually thinking about wasn’t even the lore at first it was the characters. specifically columbina. and how disappointed i am that she’s not what i expected.

i’ve seen a lot of comments about this in fact. people wanted her to feel genuinely unsettling. scary in a quiet way. she’s a fatui harbinger. they were supposed to feel wrong, mysterious, morally disturbing not a rando that the traveller literally fixes.

early genshin did that well. back when tartaglia was introduced, the concept of the fatui felt unsettling neither making the characters a hero or a villian. now they have grown to be total softballs, they are no different than the traveller atp.. i do enjoy parts of that too but something really got lost. developers are not very creative with these lores.

and yeah, genshin is ongoing, so even if one patch is disappointing, there’s always another one coming. so i’m still curious about snezhnaya. even though i’m super behind on the lore now.

the last time i was really deep into it was inazuma. kunikuzushi. my little fallen angel. i don’t kin him anymore, but i still feel weirdly connected to that character. there’s something about him thats just within me.

and that’s why i had expectations for columbina.

i imagined her as ethereal but unsettling. some sort of siku kikuo, a bit of ayano aishi mixed with the no i am not human discomfort. the kind of character that makes you uneasy without knowing why.

i like that feeling. i like characters that make me uncomfortable. it makes me curious. it makes them feel real and layered.

and instead… we got something else.

and honestly, they already did this once. what the fuck is a wanderer. why is bro flying and why doesnt columbina have shoes. 

maybe i should wait for my white horse prince ayato 2.0.
