I thought it was a saying "'May you live in interesting times' is not a blessing but a curse"
I was once given a similar assignment "write a letter from the German trenches in WWI," did the exact same thing.
I don't think that's the one I was thinking of, but it is the same spirit, so it'll do. Thanks!
I tend more fanfic with my shipping, so I'll take your word on the art.
And I'm pretty sure that Childe/Bennett was originally created as a joke, then we got a whole bunch of people saying "hang on, that works?"
Bennett is #1, with Kaeya close after. (Coincidentally, those are also my #2 and #3 characters at the moment.) Diluc's also high up there.
No, no, it's Childe harem.
Happen to know the Mao quote on needing connection between soldiers and generals? I've never been able to find it.
It depends on your definition of "dirty water."
When agriculture was invented, it created large numbers of people in one place. This pollutes water, mostly because humans shit all over the place and then dump it in the river. This happened to a much greater extent when we industrialized, with coal dust and other toxins getting into the water supply. Which we now need to (and do) filter out.
This wasn't a concern for most of Earth's existence, and, in many remote places, still isn't a concern. (I'm thinking Arctic here, there's no significant human or industrial presence.)
It's also a matter of immune system. If you're drinking unfiltered water your entire life, you're going to build up a natural resistance to whatever bacteria may be in that water. This can be seen in modern-day - when many tourists go to somewhere with lower water quality, they'll get stomachaches from the water because they're not used to it. (I had that problem when I spent a summer in Warsaw, frex.)
we are in your walls, you shall never escape
...surprising absolutely no one.
Childe is my #1 character and has been since I first met him in... 1.3? 1.4?
Second place is currently Bennett, it switches back and forth between him and Kaeya (who's either second or third, currently third).
After that, things get a bit more fluid. I've recently fallen in love with Gorou - which really surprised me. (I've been doing fics for everyone's birthday, wrote his, decided that I actually liked him.) So he's fourth now. But 4th place is really up for grabs at all times, whereas 1, 2, and 3 are pretty fixed.
The first time anyone from your instance searches it, it actually makes it show up. Search again, it should be there.
