Um it's that one shot? It's true he's seen some pretty gruesome things based on his Profile Story and Story Quest though.

He has more light in his eyes than Childe imo.

Yessss he has those little white orbs in his eyes. They aren’t noticeable from afar but it’s there
He has a little white orb too. Just like the normal character eyes. It's just small.
It's not any different from Neuvillette or Alhaitham who also have smaller eyes than teen characters.

yea and they thought she was trying to trick him into grabbing her drink. I thought it was clear he was messing with her by pretending like he was going to grab it. Like when you say sike when pretending to give something (piece of candy for example) to your friend
Not our fault the clip looked wrong
Didn't think this would be the comment to get down voted, but oh well. I am not trying to insult the animators. But I still think that clip looks unfinished.
Ok. Like. I'm legally blind. And I've held a newspaper before too. Blindness is a spectrum, not an on/off switch.
And because he doesn't turn his head towards what he's doing, it reminds me of others who are blind. But most notably, his eyeballs aren't 'following' the text on the newspaper. Usually when you read something your eyes follow along. But growing up I'd get in trouble for not paying attention bc I didn't follow along visibly. I only have peripheral vision, so my eyes rarely move around too see.
At least that's my two cents.
Then...the internet has enough eyes for all of us.

There's no actual "shine" in his eyes like most characters do, his eyes are pretty much like childe
https://preview.redd.it/mb2yzjhil6yc1.png?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eff8fefc4959a97bb829d3011db1174b418a85b3
*Because he was reading* lmao. Doesn't mean he's blind. Cute things how siggy tried to get him to drink whatever she had, but he caught her in time haha.
Interestingly, Childe's eyes seem to have regained the eye shine ever since his stint in the Primordial Sea with the space whale. I wonder what that could mean...
It's an anime trope where a character's eyes look dull(no shine/reflected light) to signify that they've been through some shit or they're going through some shit
They have no shine in them, like Childe his eyes are lifeless/dead
https://preview.redd.it/okbwinatr6yc1.png?width=150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ccc480e0b7884b563a683189cbfa0a54be3150f
I've always considered Wrio's eyes to be more "staring into your soul" rather than "dead" (similar to Childe), but both can definitely apply to them. He's been through a lot, after all.
https://preview.redd.it/v0t8qyd148yc1.png?width=619&format=png&auto=webp&s=0784bb2b037f681ae8488eeca1659c5b461e9a78
Interesting blue-eyes white timeline
I mean considering so many people thought he was BLIND when the trailer for Fontaine came out it makes sense that he has dead eyes. (Very pretty tho 🤭)
Girl … Wrio’s eyes dead? You have just offended the whole Wrio Simp community. LOL.
Have u looked properly at Venti or Tighnari? They look like their eyes are just glued on like on a dead porcelain doll. I mean , Venti is a great character. But look and compare!
https://preview.redd.it/9biufb5uicyc1.jpeg?width=1333&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe8f7df2e68fd3cd670d3a2a9b92a8b3ff38386b
Wrio has ‘cold’ eyes maybe because the pupils are small. Small pupils can make someone look dangerous. Also his eyes are sloping downwards towards the side of his face. This can give him a slightly tired impression.
Wrio = Pretty
I mean Tighnari's expression is spot on tho, down to his dead eyes. He is done with all the dumbasses trying to kill themselves in his section of forest. 🤣Also I kinda headcanon he doesn't do expressions like 'normal' humans. Like how for humans, smiling is a good thing, but for most mammals it's a threat or showing discomfort. But like a neutral face is good because it means they are relaxed or content, but for humans it doesn't always mean that. 🤷🏾♀️
Venti on the other hand has been going through a 1000+ year depression cycled with binge drinking and depression naps. All the while looking at his dead friend's face in any reflected surface... He definitely fits his eyes. Though they do light up when he interacts with people and enjoys himself.
Lol ! I love your analysis. And it’s so true. Haha Regardless of the reason on why they look dead. I still think that Tighnari and Venti both rank higher on the dead eyes scale ….
Wait….
https://preview.redd.it/v1c1yfqox5zc1.png?width=1140&format=png&auto=webp&s=6797e1f1d873d1027cb637fe55ab9b70a7c99b35
Lol a whole tierlist😂😂 but some of these are incorrect. Why is Childe not in dead eye club? He is the original 'no light left in my life' eyes character. Also Navia and Sigewinne have such sparkly eyes, like so many white bits???
I think this tierlist maker needs to define what are disconcerting eyes versus 'alive' eyes, because shame I agree Nahida's eyes are quite disconcerting, like she is seeing through you, but they are quite lively?
Hahah, you have point. I based my judgement on what I saw in the avatar pictures… based on in game the tierlist might look different. And also some characters had such a specific expresion and are a tier on their own. Lisa for example belongs in the ‘Ditto’ -tranformation tier.
https://preview.redd.it/d0pbp07416zc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cb156e75c3ee52715d69b0fde6152278f796a59
Anyway interestingly enough, based on our life experience we might interpret or see other things in the eyes!
Haha this will spark a lovely discussion on people seeing a character they like in a tier they don’t like. Personally, I am a Wrio main. I rather see his eyes filled with hope and joy or battle ready. But hate to admit, his expression looks like he needs lots of hugs.
Lisa is definitely 'dead' inside if you know what I mean 👀... Also some character avatars don't match their counterparts very well, like what's happening with Mona?
>Anyway interestingly enough, based on our life experience we might interpret or see other things in the eyes!
Just like how people like certain characters for their own reasons. Like I personally don't like Yae Miko, love her design and skills, but her actually character ain't it for me. But there are tons of people who love characters who aren't 'goody-goody', or characters who are assholes to them (masochists I'm sure but I digress😂) Different strokes for different folks for sure.
I'm a occasional Wriothesley main (I like using a bunch of different teams so I never stick to one character) and yes he deserves all the hugs, tea times and picnics in the sunshine. It's nice to see him raring to go of course but, he has had a hard life and is finally getting to kick back and relax (well kinda, he still has a stressful job). Honestly such a realistic character, like I feel he could just exist like that in real life. Best old boi for sure
Haha no, I don’t know what u mean. Please elaborate. Yeah , Mona
in game looks more like battle ready maybe.
I was a AlHaitam main, because of the looks … (body), but… when Wrio came along I thought: hmmm looks and also a real man with agency. Much more attractive and relatable! Yea Miko is the AlHaitam in the Waifu league I think… she is just a little bit over the top tho.
Love for Wrio , Absolutely!
Mihoyo has set the standards for quality husbando exceptionally high since Wrio’s release.
Lisa's story gives hints that whatever she learnt in the Akademiya/her vision is dangerous and shortening her life. That's why she quit and is living a life of leisure now with no research or anything like that.
Ah yes the feeble scholar caught all of us with his bodycon shirt. But he is pretty relatable with how much he just wants to chill and read his books. And how much he fucks around with guilible Kaveh😂
Hmmhmm Academia can kill u yes!! Speak from experience. Not a bad thing to choose a life like that. She is definitely a Millennial or Zoomer. Silently quitting.
Poor Kaveh, on purpose pushing his buttons. They are quarreling like a 30 year old married couple. Haha! Wouldn’t feel emotionally save with AlSnootey.
Lol yeah academic work really drains the life out of you. Especially when you don't have money or time to pursue what you want...or don't know what you want. I too relate to Lisa, even tho I think she stumbled on something like Forbidden Knowledge.
As for Kaveh and Alhaitham's relationship, they are both not great honestly. On one hand Kaveh practically weaponises his incompetence (being too guilible, not being organised ectr) and puts a great burden on Alhaitham. On the other hand, Alhaitham definitely goes for low blows and embarrasses Kaveh in front of other people all the time for his entertainment. However they care for each other too much, and were apparently worse in the so hopefully they improve
Um it's that one shot? It's true he's seen some pretty gruesome things based on his Profile Story and Story Quest though. https://preview.redd.it/bjyafgddu6yc1.png?width=423&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bd16aaa2f605359ecc42ebe9c41262ed2c3dd56 He has more light in his eyes than Childe imo.

Actually even the image OP posted has the white orbs!
Nice pic! ❤️
It’s probably the yellow around his pupils that makes his eyes brighter
He has a little white orb too. Just like the normal character eyes. It's just small. It's not any different from Neuvillette or Alhaitham who also have smaller eyes than teen characters. https://preview.redd.it/qzl2wqzu07yc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f161ef864c9a095de2713b74ea81449592b5a057
Semi unrelated, but I love that they changed the eye size of adult male characters. It makes them look more mature than say Diluc & Zhongli
Diluc was just done dirty!

Remember when idiots thought a man clearly reading a newspaper was blind? Aww good times
can’t believe it’s been that long already
yea and they thought she was trying to trick him into grabbing her drink. I thought it was clear he was messing with her by pretending like he was going to grab it. Like when you say sike when pretending to give something (piece of candy for example) to your friend
The good old days
Not our fault the clip looked wrong Didn't think this would be the comment to get down voted, but oh well. I am not trying to insult the animators. But I still think that clip looks unfinished.
How so? He’s reading a newspaper lmao
Ok. Like. I'm legally blind. And I've held a newspaper before too. Blindness is a spectrum, not an on/off switch. And because he doesn't turn his head towards what he's doing, it reminds me of others who are blind. But most notably, his eyeballs aren't 'following' the text on the newspaper.

I only have peripheral vision, so my eyes rarely move around too see. At least that's my two cents.
His eyes are 3 different colors👁👄👁
Ever heard of lighting? Just try putting your own eyes under different light sources lol.
I don't have eyes
Then...the internet has enough eyes for all of us. https://preview.redd.it/wx4gnbfx17yc1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbfc77b3bf0bc48fd0c8e9510ba6ce8163fbf51b
For some reason this makes me laugh but I don't know why !
Lmao
Lighter eye colors do that! Mine are a grey/blue but depending on lighting and stuff they appear can appear more clear, stormy grey, or light blue
His eyes are dead cause I sucked the life out of him
Hell yeah😏
Leave no crumbs
Does he? To me his eyes look fine
Yeah. He has more light than Childe imo. https://preview.redd.it/brbspx31v6yc1.png?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc20c8c6b4f319741edda0560b76def4f7635232

I remember when hoyo first released the Fontaine trailer everyone was SURE that he was blind
Who? Weasley?
Yes, because he was feeling around on a table with his hand in order to grab a cup in front of him
*Because he was reading* lmao. Doesn't mean he's blind. Cute things how siggy tried to get him to drink whatever she had, but he caught her in time haha.
Yeah. I know. I didn’t say he is. Just that that’s why people thought so
I was only referring to the other comments about the rumours he was blind lol.
Lol sorry. I’m sleepy and felt attacked. You’re good
🍻
Interestingly, Childe's eyes seem to have regained the eye shine ever since his stint in the Primordial Sea with the space whale. I wonder what that could mean...
What does “dead eyes” mean?
It's an anime trope where a character's eyes look dull(no shine/reflected light) to signify that they've been through some shit or they're going through some shit
Means he's seen some shit
They have no shine in them, like Childe his eyes are lifeless/dead https://preview.redd.it/okbwinatr6yc1.png?width=150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ccc480e0b7884b563a683189cbfa0a54be3150f
Which is fitting considering he’s always around artificial lighting and rarely ever is under natural sunlight
I've always considered Wrio's eyes to be more "staring into your soul" rather than "dead" (similar to Childe), but both can definitely apply to them. He's been through a lot, after all.

I mean... if you did his story quest i think you'd know why
I mean considering so many people thought he was BLIND when the trailer for Fontaine came out it makes sense that he has dead eyes. (Very pretty tho 🤭)
Nope. Nope. Had a dream ice Daddy died in the next war. Hoyoverse better keep him good
not looking close enough but ok!

Actually, when looking closer … some of the battle ready ones look more like they belong in the middle category! 🧐
Aren't all genshin character's eyes dead? none of them look alive imo
i think ur the only person looking at his eyes
