[genshinblogging] didn't feel like scrolling back so you bitches get tripleplurking

I'm at the Mandatory Character Quests portion of our evening
L'fuckingChaim
seriously, what is Paimon
L'fuckingChaim
they introduce us to Teyvat like they're from here, but there don't seem to be any other Paimons!
L'fuckingChaim
certainly none of the NPCs react like they've ever seen or heard of a Paimon before
L'fuckingChaim
I know I know Paimon is a gameplay and dialogue device but IN-UNIVERSE, what is Paimon?
L'fuckingChaim
maybe the Traveler spawned them because (in my headcanon) they don't/can't talk and need an interpreter who can read their otherworld sign language
L'fuckingChaim
ah yes. Ayaka seems to suffer from There's No One In My Social Class For Me To Be A Dumb Kid With Syndrome
L'fuckingChaim
(especially since her parents died, and it's been her and her brother doing Adult Things)
L'fuckingChaim
we're engaging in cultural exchange!
L'fuckingChaim
and I think our pizza doesn't have any non-universal ingredients
L'fuckingChaim
oh no Ayaka thinks Lumine is "of such fine character"...and also cute
L'fuckingChaim
girls
L'fuckingChaim
this update is fascinating because I'm comparing "Fantasy Japan from a Chinese company" with other experiences of "Fantasy Japan from a Japanese company" and "Fantasy Japan from an American company"
L'fuckingChaim
considering whether different choices are just choices, or reflect different perspectives on the same culture/history/nation
L'fuckingChaim
Ayaka like, I think this woman(?) my mom wrote about but I never met was a magical fox! ...definitely not her lover, ha ha what
L'fuckingChaim
Ayaka: I got you a hair ornament based on my title...please let it remind you of me...
Lumine: [Paimon please do a gal pal check for me]
L'fuckingChaim
ohhhh not an illicit lover, a secret identity
L'fuckingChaim
the "your parents were also just people" feeling...
L'fuckingChaim
something that naturally happens as you grow up, but can be cut short if your parents pass away when you're still young
L'fuckingChaim
even, or actually especially, if your parents were good parents whom you loved and who you knew loved you
L'fuckingChaim
because they don't push their emotional problems onto you their child
L'fuckingChaim
omg Ayaka asked the Traveler out on a date!
L'fuckingChaim
we're on! a festival date!
L'fuckingChaim
yeah it turns out that when your family runs "cultural stuff", the successful festival vendors generally have good feelings towards you
L'fuckingChaim
oh I want sakura mochi
L'fuckingChaim
I mean, in the game I want the recipe, but also in real life
L'fuckingChaim
oh
L'fuckingChaim
maybe I will GET the recipe
Ziri✖O
Me, having wanted to try sakura mochi since Okami /nods
L'fuckingChaim
yessss recipe
L'fuckingChaim
nooo probably uses Sakura Blooms
L'fuckingChaim
which Ayaka ALSO uses to level up
L'fuckingChaim
"I will always be there for you as you - Ahem! As your friend." sure, Ayaka. sure. just gals being pals.
L'fuckingChaim
and then she dances for us.
L'fuckingChaim
gayyyyy
L'fuckingChaim
Paimon is an accessibility companion
L'fuckingChaim
I have decided
L'fuckingChaim
they interpret the Traveler's sign language, and they could translate INTO sign language for someone who's deaf, like Yoimiya's dad
Ziri✖O
Oh I like this thought a lot
Ziri✖O
Also that does sound very baby lesbian
L'fuckingChaim
it really does
L'fuckingChaim
it's all about being herself and doing what she truly wants, and what she truly wants is to go to a festival with a girl
L'fuckingChaim
Yoimiya's quest allows me to fight cops :-D
L'fuckingChaim
"I challenge you to a duel! If I win, you have to be emotionally honest!" Oh no...the scariest of forfeits
L'fuckingChaim
...yeah I was expecting that fight to be unwinnable, but I had to at least try
L'fuckingChaim
we weren't going to beat the Raiden Shogun in the first quest of the second half
