Words Can't Describe Of How Much I Love These Sillies So Much

More support is still needed from kakuma Refugees Camp, donate to us. We lack enough basics, Clean water, enough food and medication🌈🌈🌈 https://www.gofundme.com/f/crisis-for-the-lgbtq-people-who-live-in-kakuma?s=08

Venti is canonically non-binary

So, I already supported this idea, since there are several moments in-game that show that all gods are somewhere on the non-binary spectrum. That mostly relies on the fact that they can assume several forms, including non-humanoid forms, and when presenting as human they don’t always have the same appearance - for example, Zhongli has canonically been female at some point. And also an elder. And other appearances that I don’t remember right now. So that always made me suspect that they don’t have a defined identity.

But now I would like to show this stream from Aether’s english VA, Zach: [www]

He invites Venti’s english VA, Erika Harlacher, for the stream, since he was pulling for Venti. Anyway, he asked her about her auditioning process and she said that, while she auditioned for Lisa (!!!), she was later called to try for Venti, that was described to her as a “genderless god that presents as a boy”. Timestamp: 40:05

So… I think it’s official now?

That makes me SO happy, since I’m non-binary myself and we are rarely represented and it’s even rarer in plot-relevant characters, and you can see how so many people were excited during the stream ^~^ 

But it’s a pity that most people will keep seeing Venti as just a boy, especially because this didn’t came from an official statement from Mihoyo. Or, i guess indirectly it did since it was the description given to the VA, but not to the public.

I would also be glad if the gods were referred with they/them pronouns. At least by characters that mean the gods like Barbatos or Rex Lapis and who recognize that their gods can change how they present themselves - obviously it wouldn’t make sense for a character that doesn’t know that Venti/Zhongli are those gods to treat them the same way they would treat the god. Unless I suppose, if Venti/Zhongli atually used they/them pronouns daily while still keeping their identities as gods as a secret, but that would imply that non-binary people were normalized in Teyvat and I doubt that decision could ever come from a company in China. 

Anyway, I like he/him Venti and it’s ok considering he is presenting as SPOILERS the friend that he lost END OF SPOILERS, but he/they? Perfection.

Free Palestine - ceasefire now!

There is currently a strike for Palestine taking place from February 18th, 2024, to February 25th, 2024. During this time, I will only be posting about Palestine on this account and doing what I can to spread awareness. If you are able, I highly recommend participating in the strike in whatever way you are able - something is always better than nothing. Staying home from work and/or school, not buying anything that isn't strictly necessary, using your social media platforms only to boost posts about Palestine, etc., are all ways to help the efforts!

Below are various links for ways you can help Palestine, including educational resources, petitions, fundraisers, etc. If you have any to add on, please do, these are just the ones I've found so far.

We need everyone's help right now to protect the rainforest and Indigenous People

The Amazon Rainforest is under a massive threat. I know you've heard this a million times, but this is different. There is a piece of legislation that will decimate the rights of Indigenous people of Brazil, who have been protecting the rainforest. It's unfathomably bad. It has majority support. And they're voting tomorrow. As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."

The thing you can do—and I know this sounds overly simple—is sign this petition—and tell your friends to do the same: SIGN HERE.

As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."

Again, this bill has majority support. You may be wondering, why will a petition signed by people who don't live in Brazil make any difference? Because it will give those opposing it political air cover. It will show the world is with them.

But we need a LOT of signatures.

Please do this simple act and spread the word.

Please help me, potato
