I've Seen Some People On Here Making Comparisons Between Hiccup And Jim Lake And You Know What Fair Enough,

I've seen some people on here making comparisons between Hiccup and Jim Lake and you know what fair enough, not only do they both come from the same studio they are in a lot of ways cut from the same cloth so to speak. I can see those similarities, but the one place they differ drastically is their approach to their enemies.

While both are compassionate and capable of great forgiveness, Hiccup is so obsessed with peaceful conflict resolution he has put himself and others in harms way, he only resorts to violence when he has absolutely no other choice.

Jim Lake Junior has a body count.

A lot of people in the fandom treat him like a pure cinnamon roll of sunshine and sugar, and yes, he can't even bring himself to kill a gnome at the beginning of the series, but eventually he no longer has a problem drivinv a sword through his enemies.

Not all of them, he still has empathy, for example with Draal, somebody he knows is hurting and that ultimately would do the right thing if given the chance.

But with somebody like Bular, who is EATING PEOPLE and has been for centuries, somebody who wants him and his loved ones dead, he has no qualms against manifesting a sword inside of him.

And I'm not saying either one of them is superior because of their pacifism or willingness to use deadly force, I just needed to get it out there for my own sake. They share a lot of similarities, but they also fundamentally differ in some crucial aspects.

Thanks for coming to my TEDx talk

Would you look at that? Another finished piece in less of a month, I'm on a roll this year!

 Would You Look At That? Another Finished Piece In Less Of A Month, I'm On A Roll This Year!

Fun fact about me! Genshi Impact has consumed my life in every aspect except financially (thank god) for a good part of the past 2 years, and I have yet to draw anything for it except a few simple sketches on my sketchbook.

More random stuff about her under the cut because I wasn't really able to ramble about her yet :)

Story:

Her name is Solei, she's a cartographer from sumeru? Kinda?? It's a long story.

She's from a family of traveling merchants, and having a baby didn't exactly stop them from traveling across teyvat, so yeah, she was born in Sumeru, and she would go on to receive her vision there eventually by pure chance, but she spent the majority of her early childhood in Lyue and Mondstat.

Her father is fontanian, and her mother's heritage is a slight mystery. She may be the slightest, tiniest bit non-human, but who really cares anyway? The world is vast and mysterious and full of interesting things to learn, she doesn't have time to wonder why not everyone's ears are pointy or why people look at her the way they do.

From the Chasm to Dragonspine to Seirai Iland ( long before the vision hunt decre was ever stated), they went around the world looking for trouble and getting themselves out of every situation by sheer stubbornness. Until their travels brought them to the confines of the sumeru desert.

She grows up to be a femomenal navigator and travel guide. Her maps of teyvat are worth millions of mora, if not more, considering how rarely she actually parts with them. She leaves her family's merchant group to travel with a group of friends through more inhospitable parts of teyvat.

The sandstorm was picking up. They needed to get out. The sun was about to set, they were already hurt, their shielder was... they needed to get out! But the only vision user was knocked out, their archer was barely standing, and she was straining to have a coherent line of thought as is, besides, she wasn't a fighter.

She was barely thinking when her fingers curled around her claymore's handle. Not batting an eye as the storm around her went from scorching sand to freezing cold. She only came to when her sword lodged itself in the dragons eye, freezing it from the inside out. She would be impressed if it wasn't for the blood trickling down her face and the ragged breaths of her friend hanging onto her shoulder and the fact that they needed to get out of here!!

She has her claymore sure, but that was more of a precaution than anything, she was the navigator, she was the one that figured out the right path, she was the one that should have prevented them from ending up in this situation in the first place, bleeding and bruised in the middle of a sandstorm going against a ruined dragon, Archons dam it they needed to get out!

Travelers from all over teyvat might have come across her, with her trusty claymore at her side, a cryo vision hanging in her headband and a distinct lack of travel partners beside her. She can party like an animal and talk anyone's ear off about anything imaginable, but one thing's certain. She travels alone.

Her kit:

She's a 5 star cryo claymore DPS focused on the freeze and shatter reactions. I haven't really thought about the specific of her abilities, but in general:

Her skill is a cryo Aoe that infuses cryo to her normal attacks and raises attack speed (and maybe buffs something else I don't really know)

Her burst is a buffet cryo attack that sends a shockwave from the character every 1.2s that applies cryo and deals damage to nearby enemies for a few seconds (don't know how long)

Her attack effects are based on various navigation equipment, like a compas and a compas-card, specifically.

One of her passive talents would be giving the party a Crit rate% buff if every member of the party is of a different region

The other one would be that she can identify nation specialties in every nation ( but I don't think hoyo would actually release a character that could do that)

.

If you read all the way through here, congratulations, you gain nothing but my imense gratitude and respect ( I was barely able to write all the way through this).

I cannot relate to people who dislike female characters for “being manipulative.” She’s literally creative problem solving before your eyes. She’s literally just using her words. Maybe the other blorbos should be less pawn-like for her beautiful hands hmm
