hey non-chinese people in genshin fandom i'm glad you find hu tao charming but can you not start using "aiyah" as a catchphrase.... u can def use it but it shouldn't be used as a catchphrase . it's just usually for shock or something
here's my thread on why i think the shinonome siblings are plausibly part chinese or even full chinese if i'm silly about it ♥️
(these cards are controversial to some ppl but i think theyre cute. as a chinese person.)

have you seen him? that's right. this is albert, one of cygames's strongest gays. you see him everywhere. granblue fantasy. dragalia lost. he's originally from rage of bahamut! here's kind of an intro thread to albert in granblue fantasy. spoilers ahead in this thread!
it costs $0 to respect the creator's work! AGAIN, this genshin mv is an UNOFFICIAL and fan-made project! it's beautiful and i love it, but it's not official. the cn voice actors kindly lent their voices to the project.

1.) this shouldn't have to be a thread. never buy from third party no matter what. there's always some degree of credit card fraud involved in it and you will likely get caught
2.) if you have the money to buy from third party then just buy it directly ffs
you go into dfc (diluc fried chicken) and u order the dfc's famous bowl. ur like man this chicken tastes mighty tasty what's in it and diluc opens his mouth but the next minute timmy slams in and demands that diluc apologizes to the pigeons
family dynamics 🥞
we don't know much about the shinonome mom, but...:
- compliant w/their dad's actions
- the primary cook of the fam
- tells ena she's just like her dad (my mom does this all the time w my sis 💀)
- gives ena money to shop on her bday (SUCH A CHINESE THING OK)
shinonome shinei:
- ABSENT FATHER (to akito only, akt is def a momma's boy or um. not worried about bc he's "Normal") (blurry cuz idc him)
- CRITICIZES HIS DAUGHTER TO "PROTECT HER"
- overworker (doesn't come home until late)
- harsh w his words & treats art seriously
hi reminder that you shouldn't be affixing japanese culture to the liyue characters? because they're chinese? it implies that you're equating the two cultures?
disclaimer that this is a headcanon thread and i'm not claiming it to be canon... but it's real to me and that's what matters. im kinda writing this off the cuff and based on my own experiences as a chinese diaspora growing up in an immigrant family yay <3
twt won't let me post
gbf really is the most generous game to f2p LOL like u will have to work hard to get strong in there without primal to win but they deadass give out a full 10 roll in crystals because they felt like it
"uh how does this connect genius" oh but it does. it's very traditional chinese parenting, an effect of inter-generational trauma. this def is an effect of more collectivist cultures w/ conservative and traditional views so it's not a stretch this happens in jp families too but
don't have yurius? here are your choices
- suptix yurius
- unlock robin hood. become yurius. make sure you're saying "kenkyuu no seika da" everytime you land a debuff
i already hinted at it but tl;dr their mental illnesses are SOOOO CHINESE KID IT'S INSANE!!!! ena's desire for attention for her skills and actual work rather than appearance.
the desire to achieve and prove everyone wrong? chinese kids get it...
the hardworking parents who made mistakes and don't want their kids to follow the same path, so in attempts to protect them try to push them toward smth more "practical". they'll let their kids play around until it comes to dreams and being serious. there's also a matter of
also should i mention that basically they give you ur m1 grid for free if u just wait for them to give u them fhAKSLFSJAHF it's so funny i like didn't play properly for 2 years and i already had decent m1 grids
they also have a number of family friends -
yes japanese families def have some too but the fact a big showing of gifts popped up for the shinonome family during new years? such a chinese thing sorry... and they just let their kids take whatever. also chinese 2 me
saying "my life sucks" when things go wrong
- self-deprecating
- depressing
- makes you sad
saying "percival wouldn't want this for me" when things go wrong
- motivating
- makes you think about paa-san
- reminds you that paa-san loves and cares for you
- you are his vassal
ive decided to come out as a percival kin. i am literally percival. to all my followers, i've decided to let you all become my worthy vassals. *slicks back my hair as i set my sword on fire* take care of yourselves vassals *bathes in money with wine and strawberries at the side*
on the other hand ena is sorta getting coddled in a sense, thinking of her as a kid and not respecting her as an individual with her own ambitions. AT THE BEGINNING. parents come around *i have not caught up on niigo so i am missing third event context but shinei's overprotective
attitude toward how they take care of their kids: their mom def tries to spoil them as much as she can, and i'm pretty sure shinei backed off on akito thinking that if he can overcome it then sure Also akito normalpasses a lot and keeps up a decent impression so they dont worry
nature toward ena's future is um haha... definitely because she's a girl and "sensitive". akito's quite similar but he's fine bc he's a boy right... so he has those toxic masculinity ideals instilled in him, this kind of idea that he can't cry + be upset like ena + hide his pain

SONG IMAGERY 🎶
this is a stretch. salamander has no lore im just like haha spicy cup noodle YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS KNOWN FOR SPICY FOOD? SICHUAN PROVINCE
AND U KNOW WHERE RAMEN IS FROM? C
to me they were like yeah akito go chase rad weekend so he wouldn't be home moping around about quitting soccer. So. There's that. also akito has the opportunity to do shit like stay out late and ena gets to stay up late and do night school cuz its just kinda that
with a "traditional" (gender) upbringing, akito ends up neglecting his emotions, following in vein of his dad and making himself numb to criticism. he has a lot of toxic masculinity traits, especially regarding emotion and also believing that ena's emotions are more fragile.
