[modern plover]

This is why I’m broke for the hydros lol

Eh I think having personal connection with venti is alr enough. Idk but he just looks like he knows more than what he need to know

[reef axle]

He sounds like the kind of guy to insert himself into trouble out of curiousity lol

[modern plover]

True

[reef axle]

Probably found out about Venti the same way

[modern plover]

||I mean according to him and venti, he’s venti personal message deliver man so…||

[modern plover]

I still cant believe nilou refused to come home every time she rerun tho

I’m so screwed in Sumeru chronicle banner ngl

[reef axle]

Maybe she's just waiting for someone with the financial wellbeing determination to make her come home 😤

[modern plover]

[odd thicket]

All sumeru characters rerun in chronicled now ig

[white nimbus]

Except for Nahida

God they're really full sending the Gordon Ramsay

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-ramsey-shut-up-mondter-kitchen-cooking-shut-it-down-gif-13442207

Like I can straight up imagine that dialogue in his voice and it doesn't sound out of place

[white nimbus]

Did you see this "what are you" emote?

[lilac coral]

HEHEHE

FINALLY

[topaz anvil]

i wonder whos the roster in varka's expedition

can they do like power rangers reveal

[odd thicket]

prolly just him and a four star support no one wants

[odd thicket]

nah, wont work again

[queen prawn]

Can't wait to spam this in coop

[odd thicket]

Are 5.6 AQ spoilers allowed here now ?

[lost quail]

How did the hearth trio survive Arle’s spikes closing in on them like that? I know she wasn’t trying to kill them, she makes that clear. But how did they survive that? It looked like it should’ve killed them

[lilac coral]

Idk rewatch the cutscene I guess

They stopped short, right

[lost quail]

I think so?

[queen prawn]

What is Arlecchino plan if they were stupid enough and keep moving then get impaled

[lost quail]

I meant the ability encloses them. It’s the spikes she summons that moves not the ones that’s stationary

[mental flame]

find new juvenile fatui agents to train

[lost quail]

She doesn't scout for new kids tho? She takes homeless kids in because she believes children should have families and not be on the street.

They just happen to be fatui cuz it's the HOTH

Did I answer this too seriously?

I feel like I answered too seriously..

Also…why do people think she's a hilichurl?

[lilac coral]

There was a theory back when her design leaked that she was a hilichurl due to the black marks on her arms, which were similar to caterpillar who is the hilichurl rogue that was made to turn into a human at will in the narzissenkreuz quests

Caterpillar was released before arlecchino's entire ref sheet was leaked so that was the theory at the time

[odd thicket]

I need to read up on this caterpillar lore

Its been long

[lilac coral]

Yeee

[odd thicket]

And narzizzenkreuz lore too

The whole dain and skirk plot somehow hinges on it somehow

After the Naberius lore drop

[lost quail]

Oh

[odd thicket]

Minsleif had an old theory

that each Sinner went for their respective Shade

Rhinedottrir - Naberius
Rerir - Ronova
Surtologi - Asmodeus
Vedrfornir - Istaroth
Hroaptatyr - PO

Mavuika also calls Shades emmissiaries, and paimon a lesser emmissiary

[lilac coral]

Calling them emissaries makes sense honestly, considering they're alien to teyvat and are there for a "mission"

[lost quail]

Is it a stretch to say Arle feels bad for raising child soldiers. I think she does. We know for a fact she doesn’t like doing it. She’s not the type to like this at all. But I can see her feeling bad about it. Then again maybe not? She’s a very complex woman who hides her emotions. Her not liking the job is the only obvious thing

[dense moss]

Ok so

I was watching Ashikai's stream and someone told her about a "roar" on the new boss island, she checked it and to her it sounded more like a whale and i agreed at the time

but i went to check it myself

on the boss island it is really hard to hear and it sounds like a whale most of the time

but you can hear it from the other new island as well

and while most of the sounds still sound like a whale there are some that do sound like an actual roar in the distance

idk where the fuck the sound comes from

but im subscribing to the theory that it's the Bakunawa in the Mare Jivari

What yall think

it could be that that there IS Mare Jivari but it's literally just some random ass landmasses

detail zero

[lilac coral]

Oh that's what that noise was?

[dense moss]

We don't know that the noise is

I've seen some people talk about how there was a bug that made it so the whale on the underwater kingdom scylla or whatever could be heard from a really tall point on the map

And they claim it may just be the same but idk I'll need to go hear the whale but I don't think it is

[lilac coral]

Gl

Let us know after

[lilac coral]

RDJEHSGHRJDTFKRTDJHSEGAW IT CAN KILL YOU?

i accidentally yoshi'd into it 😭

it didn't just kill one character it killed the whole team

that's fucking brutal

oh my god they were straight up about to go and commit near-genocide of humanity

[white nimbus]

Whoa I didn't see that. Well tbh, I haven't really explored the Ancient Sacred Mountain that much

[lilac coral]

it's a really long read, it's underground in the deliberation grounds when going through the quest inside the volcano

chamber of deliberation*

here is the whole thing:
https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Chamber_of_Deliberation#Chamber_of_Deliberation:_Sovereign_Rulers'_Council_Records_2:~:text=in%20this%20world...-,Chamber%20of%20Deliberation%3A%20Sovereign%20Rulers%27%20Council%20Records,-Located%20in%20the

since i'm not going to spam the channel with a massive wall of text lol

there's also apparently more so i'll be looking for those if i can instead of reading from the website

[lilac coral]

holy shit they executed one of their own leaders

damn they all pretty much voted to have kukulkan impeached

OH

kukulkan is ubah kan

that makes more sense now

i thought he was like one of them 😭

is it inappropriate to ask why the matador monetoo achievement name is in french

[reef axle]

Yes

[lilac coral]

Votre Toast, Je Peux Vous Le Rendre

[reef axle]

How dare you

[lilac coral]

😔

damn

arya won't help me this time i guess

[reef axle]

I'd tell you to just learn French, but I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy

[lilac coral]

me neither, have you fucking seen how they count??

[reef axle]

Like a bunch of stoners, yeh

[lilac coral]

worse than stoners, like meth heads trying to deduce the universe

[lilac coral]

Holy shit they finally uploaded the cutscene at the end of paralogism

I was wondering if they ever would, it feels like they always upload their cutscenes like 4 days after the version update

[modern plover]

||https://x.com/GenshinUpdate/status/1923231013016101101||

the link is not embeded

anyway this is interesting

venti repeats ||the poem abt defying fate like twice ||during the quest

i thought the cliffhanger is over

another 2 yrs of waiting

[lilac coral]

But also that line, ||"his place was etched into the firmament above"|| almost sounds like he just made his own new ||constellation?||

Or do you think it's referring to something else

Because the first line is clear with exactly what the cutscene was showing

[modern plover]

||i think celestia is looking||

thats how ic it

||cuz R is a sinner. the act of creating a synthetic human being itself defies fate||

Durin is supposed to be evil

[lilac coral]

But then why ||"etched into"|| and not something more akin to ||the firmament watches or something||?

[modern plover]

the mere existence of chibi durin is already complicated cuz it rewrote the story of Durin during simulanka

[lilac coral]

But that durin was his own thing anyway

Like a clone almost but not really because he was entirely separate from the origin durin

[modern plover]

||but it is a fairy tale, it should be fine. yet chibi durin was brought outside then albedo replaces evil durin with chibi durin||

thats just effectively rewrote everything

[modern plover]

no he is not

[lilac coral]

Ah that's what you mean

[modern plover]

if u read the quest

[lilac coral]

Dude I can't even remember what I did yesterday, you expect me to remember a quest from almost a year ago?

[modern plover]

||albedo merges chibi durin soul and evil durin heart||

[lilac coral]

Oh you mean the new quest

[modern plover]

yes

[lilac coral]

I thought you meant simulanka

I was talking about how chibi durin was his own thing entirely, and just sort of based on og durin

From simulanka

[modern plover]

||it should be fine if chibi durin exist as a seperate entity from evil durin||

||but albedo merges them together||

[lilac coral]

But yeah, they're one in the same now

[modern plover]

yeah

albedo is fucked

[lilac coral]

😭

[modern plover]

cliff hanger ahhhh

||now not only does he have 1 death flag, he has 2 death flag||

leave my boy alone

[modern plover]

i think its like being ||embedded onto celestia watchlist||

thats how i read it

||unless it means having a place as an allogene||

something akin to god itself

but aint that just bad with how fate works in teyvat omg

boy is not even a "real" human. he's a homunculus. his existence is already fate defying. ||now he fucked with the world's fate and order ||

thats like asking for bigger trouble

and the garderner analogy at the end

||he says that his mother used to be the gardener, nuturing him and his siblings as flower. now hes the gardener||

Rhinedottir is bad. like her practice is ethically bad no doubt. bro is converting

ignore the 2nd bullet point because it's been ||disapprove following the interlude AQ this patch||. I think it's some kind of hinting for the future

it's hard to ignore that albedo is becoming more and more like Rhine following the quest

[odd thicket]

It is Mare
It is roughly the outline we see on Citlali quest and the unintended Devstream map in the background

[odd thicket]

Idk the deeper meaning of it but i roughly translate it to “your toast, i want meat”
I need to brush up my français

[odd thicket]

There is a thing in game about sharing names and sharing fates

Tartag is an offendor of it

Ajax

[modern plover]

ye ik

but it happened cuz he repeated the cycle no?

he is originally from the outside world but he live through another time

its like the abyss siblings. their record says they belong to teyvat

[odd thicket]

Who and what cycle ?

[modern plover]

or at least that was my understanding of it

[modern plover]

tartaglia

[odd thicket]

Ajax ?

[modern plover]

ye

sorry i was on off from the community during this time so that was my understanding of the text after i read it

correct me if im wrong

i also havent play through the natlan patches to see how much was updated

[odd thicket]

Iirc he just happened to have Ajax name and fell into the abyss
And Skirk was looking for the Voyager/ Prince of light/ the OG Ajax in hyperborea and presumably discovered our Ajax then

And Surtologi’s whale is Childe’s constellation and “fate”

[modern plover]

so is tartaglia and this ajax person the same person or no?

[odd thicket]

Nope

[modern plover]

ah

i thought they were the same

[topaz anvil]

And Skirk was looking for the Voyager/ Prince of light/ the OG Ajax in hyperborea and presumably discovered our Ajax then
wheres this from

[odd thicket]

The OG Ajax is from Hyperborea and is allegedly the founder of Khaenriah and had prism shaped eyes after being possessed by an alien lesbian

[modern plover]

to me as i interpret it its like ajax live through that one cycle. died. and it is rewritten with tartaglia from this life.

[odd thicket]

Finale of the Deep Galleries

Artifact set for skirk

[modern plover]

ic ic

[topaz anvil]

alien lesbian referring to who 😭

[odd thicket]

The Voyager

She “marries” the first Seelie / Seelie Queen

[modern plover]

but even so, evil durin and chibi durin certainly share the same fate. the difference is simulanka rewritten durin's fate

[odd thicket]

It is not clear if

1. she and her marry
2. Ajax and Seelie queen marry

[odd thicket]

The way i saw it, Chibi Durin took over Evil Durin’s post and as such Evil Durin’s place in the world (Irminsul included) and shoulders his predecessors’s fate

[modern plover]

rlly?

hmmmm

agree to disagree

cuz evil durin is supposed to be evil

it is his fate to be evil

chibi durin's fate as a seperate entity is not evil

[odd thicket]

We do not know

[modern plover]

||but with chibi durin being merged with evil durin, that just changes everything||

[odd thicket]

Evil beings can have a different fate

Than their nature

[odd thicket]

He didnt merge per say

He is impersonating durin but for the most part he is his own person

[modern plover]

no

they clearly merge

[odd thicket]

Being evil isnt fate

[modern plover]

||albedo says it himself. he merges them||

[odd thicket]

As natlan shows, being swallowed by the abyss always and is its fate

How and when it gets there is the variable

[odd thicket]

The old Durin is “no more”
Albedo uses the remainder of Old Durin’s faculties and gives it to chibi Durin

So yeah, “merging” somewhat

[modern plover]

no more would be inaccurate

||since the heart is still beating and it orchestrate the whole AQ quest ordeal||

[modern plover]

yes there is variable, but the end product is still destruction for durin's part

chibi durin's end product is not destruction. but to make peace. as seen with simulanka

[modern plover]

||the heart is still beating as albedo uses it, with other material, and chibi's durin soul to create durin's human form||

[modern plover]

my point it is hard to say that the being is dead when it still has impact on the world directly

||especially with careful thoughts, planning, control and action. evil durin was still moving attempting to destroy mondstadt ||

also it seems to be part of evil durin's fate to act like that as well. i wouldn't underestimate whatever Mona's master has to say

so the fate path was legit durin will live again no matter what. ||so what albedo did was instead of an evil dragon, it must be a good dragon.||

[modern plover]

so what u said here is true. but to directly tamper with the variable like that still has consequences no matter what

||what albedo did is forcefully change the variable by putting a new variable on it||. wont that change the end product of fate. cuz this is 2 different entity with 2 different fate path. ||He just make it one person||. its not the 2 entity sharing one fate like ajax and tartaglia.

this is the case of 1 entity with 2 different fate path that is forcefully man-made

[modern plover]

for ajax and tartaglia, they share the same fate as in the fate has come to an end. then a new fate is born with the same path as before. so yes they are duplication, as in completely the same.

for durin, it's like his fate is duplicated, and that duplicated fate is then rewritten to run differently while the OG fate is still running on its OG path. then in the end both OG and copied are merged together for 1 entity . but once it is duplicated and rewritten. no matter how u look at it, the duplicated fate is still a different fate for it has been rewritten, unlike Tartaglia's fate which has not compare to its previous version.

mini durin doesn't exactly shoulder evil durin's fate in this sense. That would imply that he has no fate of his own person to begin with while he in fact, does have his own fate.

I'm saying that albedo just make it 2 fate for 1 person, instead of 1 fate for 2 person.

[modern plover]

i think this text is interesting. Barbie and Anya did pull some string so Mini Durin fate is written differently despite being a duplication

[lilac coral]

But it stops beating when he takes the last remaining energy from it

If you interact with it after he takes the energy, it says that

But yeah, considering how we've seen a few times that there will be a certain fate for someone/somewhere and interpret it one way only for it to actually happen another (i.e. Furina crying on her throne as fontaine floods, but nobody dies like was assumed from the prophecy) it seems to be a recurring theme that fate will always occur but the actual outcome may be slightly different with the prophesized ending being the same

Or idk how to word it

[odd thicket]

Isnt the heart dead after the AQ ?

[odd thicket]

otherway aroumd, The fate of 1 entity was erased and superimposed onto the other's

[odd thicket]

I do have a doubt regarding Tartaglia's fate
His constellation is the all devouring narwhal and could be under control by Surtologi

Surtologi hijacking the final samsara's Ajax

[odd thicket]

This is an attempt to have a Durin with a better life

[odd thicket]

I think 2 fates is quite paradoxical

Mini Durin had to sacrifice its kinder fate to become a human and shoulder our Durin's fate (which is a parallel to itslef)
THough old Durin was "evil" his fate isnt and our durin probably would have a more comfortable time in place of old Durin

[lilac coral]

Not evil, just destructive

Dude literally thought everyone was playing with him while he threatened life around him from just existing

[lost quail]

I have a question. Anyone here watch hazbin hotel? I'm not a fan by any means. I just want to know if you think Arle beats alastor

I do

I'm obsessed help

[modern plover]

||He took the core and dispose the remaining. The core is the main thing. The core beats. I would call that as still alive||

[lilac coral]

Idk, I'd think alastor would beat her lol

[lilac coral]

Ah that's what you meant

I thought you meant the remnant still on the mountain

[modern plover]

Yeah I’m aware. Focalor did pull some string.But the Fontainian didn’t die according to fate tho

Focalor act changes fate in a way

By making an equivalent of authority as celestia, aka Neuvillette to erase the sin of the fontainian

God didn’t dare to challenge fate

But dragon sovereign seems to be able to without punishment somehow

[lost quail]

I don't. He's not only too cocky, but she seems to be quicker and have more martial arts

Only thing that might give him the upper hand is his teleportation and shadow bending

And she can time that, she's capable. She caught two people aimed to hit her with her bare fucking hands.

He couldn't even beat Adam.

She has massive hypersonic abilities.

At least? She wins. At best theyre equal.

I literally was up till 12 writing this match up! Don't test me!/lh/j

I wrote it in my google doc

No I notes app

[lost quail]

I missed Durin coming back
What's new

[lilac coral]

Durin came back

[lost quail]

…..ah

[modern plover]

||Ye cuz albedo took the core and merge it with Durin. The core beats throughout the process and is still beating||

||Durin didn’t exactly die. He just move body.||

[lost quail]

Note. I've never been so obsessive with something in my life for such little time. Save me from myself

[modern plover]

||Now with new soul of another person||

[lost quail]

Wait so will we get him playable?

[odd thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/hazbin-hotel-alastor-kick-kicking-feet-evil-smile-smiling-silly-gif-5260927818245816902

This gay man ?

Prolly

[lost quail]

THANK YOU

[odd thicket]

Father slays

I just base it off vibes

[modern plover]

Yes so albedo is fucked regardless. Cuz he a mere human ain’t supposed to do that

[lost quail]

SHE IS LITERALLY FASTER THAN HE IS. THOSE SHADOW TELEPORTS HE DOES MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. HER KIDS DID THEY SAME THEY WERE NEGED LETS GO

I'm satisfied

[modern plover]

It defies the world law of Teyvat

[lost quail]

This is the end of my arc

[lost quail]

Wait why would he be? Link me to where you explain pls

[modern plover]

Scroll up

[lost quail]

Bet

[modern plover]

Here

@lost quail

[lost quail]

Thank u

[odd thicket]

Idt anyone is gonna hold him accountable

[modern plover]

Oh celestia did

The description of the video

[odd thicket]

Celestia is down two shades

[modern plover]

Still

He got their attention now

👍

[odd thicket]

I read it as it meaning durin

[modern plover]

No matter how u read it the entire thing got celestia attention

[lost quail]

Yeah I agree he might be

[odd thicket]

Yes

[modern plover]

Both in deep shit

[odd thicket]

But wtf they gon do

Rhine will intervene

[lost quail]

He and focalor alerted the celestia

“You see this shit?” they said

[modern plover]

We don’t even know if rhine is mind and sound

[odd thicket]

Only two shades are working

[lost quail]

I know I was there when they said it

[modern plover]

She’s quite insane and is barely lucid

[lost quail]

You mean the lady in the cup?

[modern plover]

Rhinedottir

[lost quail]

Yeah her

[odd thicket]

Wdk
She could be prancing about happily too and taking her sweet time studying alchemy

[lost quail]

Where is she anyway or where could she be ?

[modern plover]

Ye while being insane at the same time

[lost quail]

I feel like were getting closer to Alice reveal

[odd thicket]

Eh, that was Rhine before swallowing naberius

[lilac coral]

We don't know her location

Just that she's a current member of the hexenzirkel

[odd thicket]

But yeah
Current Celestia is defanged

[lost quail]

How did she speak through the cup?

[lilac coral]

And that she's merged with naberius

[odd thicket]

PO is crippled

Ronova and Istaroth are the only awake ones

[modern plover]

Here we go with another entire fate fiasco

[odd thicket]

Istaroth has been defying PO for a while now

[odd thicket]

They dont have fates

[modern plover]

Is the shades count as having fate

[odd thicket]

So far all sinners except Surtalogi can make their fate

[lost quail]

Ronova is of celestia?

What even is celestia’s deal with khanrieah

[odd thicket]

Nope

[lost quail]

To where they cursed everyone

[modern plover]

Naberius is the shade of life

[modern plover]

Still fucked tho

[odd thicket]

Nah

[modern plover]

I mean she’s alr fucked the moment she’s listed as the sinner

Should be fine

[lost quail]

Or was it celestial that cursed the Khanireans

Can't spell the name

[modern plover]

Ye and rhine is one of the 5 perpetrators for that

[lost quail]

So she's an opp!

[odd thicket]

Sinners should be stronger than Shades as having world shattering powers can qualify some of them to be descender level

[lilac coral]

Ronova cursed the Kheanri'ahns

[odd thicket]

Yes
Ronova did

[modern plover]

Hmmmmm

I have a couple example why that doesn’t count as

If changing fate is the benchmark, then albedo has world shattering power too

[odd thicket]

Sinners are not descenders (yet)

[odd thicket]

He had the aid of outside powers

[modern plover]

Cuz it changes the fate of the world

[lost quail]

I forgot why she did that
Maybe when capitano was preparing to sleep it was touched on.

Did they defy celestia in some way?

[modern plover]

And hence law of the world

[odd thicket]

Alice and Rhinedottir help him change fate

[modern plover]

So is rhine

[odd thicket]

Alice is a descender iirc

[modern plover]

No it’s more like the entire witches organisation whose name I can’t spell helped

[odd thicket]

Could be wrong

[modern plover]

This text in the screenshot

[odd thicket]

Yes
One of them could have used power of the shade or the third

[modern plover]

Barbie and Anya has to pull some string to change the date of mini Durin

Albedo just use the assets that was provided to complete the whole process to integrate it into the real world

[lilac coral]

It wasn't fully touched on in that scene, no, but has been pieced together from various sources in-game over the years

[modern plover]

But since he’s the main person doing it, he’s fucked

[lilac coral]

Specifically that the five sinners are effectively traitors to their people and the world due to how they turned away from protecting Kheanri'ah

[modern plover]

The witches kinda got away

[odd thicket]

Albedo wont be punished

[modern plover]

U cant say that for sure

He just multiply his own race

[odd thicket]

Perhaps changing mini durin fate was in celestia’s interests

[modern plover]

Which is another sin by itself

[odd thicket]

The factions in Nod Krai likely disobey celestia harder

[modern plover]

Egeria did and die

[odd thicket]

Prophecy
And she didnt die by their punishment
That was directed to her people

Egeria fell in battle

[modern plover]

There r so many things he crosses during this patch

[odd thicket]

Nothing as severe that the Nod Krai and Dottore are planning to

[modern plover]

Ye but they r supposed to die

[odd thicket]

Nod Kraites are literally going to launch a fourth moon

[lilac coral]

They did something (that isn't entirely clarified) that was so horrible it needed the attention of all available archons to fight and destroy them and ronova to curse them with immortality & turning into hilis

Rhine had created some abyssal creatures and other specimens (the albedos), something celestia is very much against, the one whose name I can't remember that can see the future tried to change it iirc, and the others I'm far less sure

[odd thicket]

Nah

[lilac coral]

Nod kraites

[modern plover]

Prophecy??

[odd thicket]

Which one

[modern plover]

It’s only thx to Focalor that the ppl of Fontaine r alive

[odd thicket]

I dont think new Durin is abyssal in nature at all

[modern plover]

Cuz she tricked celestia according the prophecy, then use neuvi as the figure of authority to erase the sin

Hence they don’t die

But they supposed to die

[odd thicket]

The prophecy still happened, they werent supposed to die

Dying wasnt implied

Only that fontaine would be flooded

[modern plover]

They r supposed to die according to the prophecy

[modern plover]

Where?

[lilac coral]

When did I say anything about new durin lol

Old durin, definitely was something they probably wouldn't want around though

[modern plover]

Either way there will still punishment

[odd thicket]

There was punishment hes

Yes

[modern plover]

Drowned and dissolved

So die

[odd thicket]

The ones who died already

Neuv had “washed” away their sins

[modern plover]

Who die?

[odd thicket]

Only the ones with “sin”

[modern plover]

Are u implying it’s like being reborn of some sort

[odd thicket]

Vacher, his loves, his victims, Melus and Silver

[odd thicket]

Somewhat
They joined the collective oceanid consciousness

[modern plover]

Ye but the prophecy said that “all individuals”

We have like not even a hundred

[lilac coral]

And when they found out that the "sin" was being created and that everyone was actually oceanids not humans, they realized everyone would die

But they didn't account for focalors and her plan, giving neuvilette his authority back and turning them into full humans to avoid the drowning

Plus wrio's boat

[odd thicket]

It was washing away their sins part

[lilac coral]

Which would have dissolved every fontainian

Which was the point

[odd thicket]

Possibly more if you included people who died to primordial sea water all along the years

[lilac coral]

Their bodies would "die"

But their consciousness would continue as a collective

[modern plover]

Still not all

[odd thicket]

The prophecy is inevitable but the outcomes could be manipulated

[lilac coral]

In a similar vain to how people believe spirits live on even when the body dies

But those people are still dead

[lilac coral]

Yes

That was the whole point of the quest lol

[modern plover]

Wrio is still very much alive and breathing

[modern plover]

Ye so u kinda shoot urself in the foot if that outcome, aka fate is changed

[odd thicket]

And there is suspicion from traveller if the prophecy was issued by Vedrfornir

[odd thicket]

Fate isnt changed

The fated day came and passed

[lilac coral]

What started this argument, if I may ask

[odd thicket]

The mini durin

[lilac coral]

Because I am confused as hell as to how we got here and all agree

Ah

[modern plover]

The fact of how fate works in general

At what point does fate change

To me it’s definite. It can’t be changed fundamentally speaking

It’s already decided from the start

So if someone break the law of the world, aka changing fate, it will have consequences

Why did Focalor died again

[odd thicket]

Not if you are a descender
Hu Tao was meant to die in Lantern Rite but she lived because of Traveller

[modern plover]

The outcome cant be changed unless someone has to dip their hand into it. And that someone will get consequences

[modern plover]

Ye ik. Descenders are exception

[odd thicket]

Didnt she die to destroy hydro throne

And give neuv whole powers

[modern plover]

But traveller never change anything. So let’s just exclude them. They r not in the convo yet

[modern plover]

Right

But the whole thing is abt tricking celestia

So they r tricked

[modern plover]

I never play lantern rite

Lazy

I came back just cuz I can witness albedo LMAO

They hold me on a cliffhanger for 3 yrs I can’t miss that

[odd thicket]

Yeah tricking them to destroy elemental throne and give full perms to a dragon sovereign
That would allow her to play with the prophecy and let fate play out as she wanted

[modern plover]

Albedo case is not tricked it all

Tho

[odd thicket]

Have you played the dain ones

Loom of Fate is complete

[modern plover]

Which Dain one

Ye I did

That was 2023

Still active back then

[odd thicket]

Chlothar was able to cheat fate at no consequences

[modern plover]

I don’t rlly remember it tho

Have to take a look again

[odd thicket]

He had the same curse as capitano

But he was able to die

[modern plover]

Idek what this capitano has

Ye I just got spoiled

It’s okay

But I haven’t play Natlan pass the battle yet

The interlude is just building the tribe again

I look at it and my brain went meh

[odd thicket]

He tells it in the interlude

Capitano doesnt know Dain btw

[modern plover]

Damn

Alright

[odd thicket]

Both were khaenrians

[modern plover]

Stop stop imma dip

[odd thicket]

Oh mb

G

I need to revisit Narzizzenkreuz and Amun lore

[modern plover]

A convo on natlan is what I don’t want to see since I haven’t play it

[odd thicket]

Both of then tried to cheat fate

Oh and

[modern plover]

Hmmm

[odd thicket]

Remus too

[modern plover]

I will look at it again

[odd thicket]

Fate is weird

[modern plover]

Remus is the Fontaine region underground right?

[odd thicket]

In this game

[modern plover]

Ye ikr

[odd thicket]

Yes
Sumerian who fled to Fontaine

[modern plover]

I love that place. 2nd to enka

I will see again

[hollow spire]

I haven't done the world quests of previous Natlan quests yet (ochka, etc.). If I finish the Collective of Plenty world quest will I trigger that specific cutscene ||wherein our Saurian companion finally goes on his own journey?||

[odd thicket]

you need to finish all the world quests for it

[cursive ridge]

I haven't played genshin since around July 2024. Can any kind soul bring me up to speed with any lore / lore relevant limited time quests and events that might have happened since then? Even if its something small, I really feel left out 😭

i haven't been on social media so I know nothing basically .I'm going to do archon and story quests, so it's fine to leave that stuff out

By something small, for example I remember a limited event where dilucs red dead of night skin released and there was a letters from kaeya I think on the roof of the knights of favonius headquarters. Even small things like that please! And If this isn't the right place to ask, sorry i can delete!

[odd thicket]

Well
5.x had been the most happening version since the game launched

The main archon quests were more out with important info

Same with world quests, event quests and limited events

[lilac coral]

Ye

There's a lot

[latent socket]

yeah like if you are including even something small as that

we cant really go and post all story content over the past year

why do they use "synthethic being" instead of just saying homonculus in the latest quest

[queen prawn]

It sound cool

[odd thicket]

To avoid confusion, I suppose

they have begun improving their AQ now

no more long drawn out insignificant dialogues

[latent socket]

homonculus cooler

[queen prawn]

but "synthetic being" sound menacingly

Like some villain sometime says "you human being"

[odd thicket]

Genshin fandom would confuse it for elemental oculus instead

[latent socket]

90% of thos noobs dont even remember its called that

[odd thicket]

They might

Cause Durin hype

[latent socket]

speaking of durin, I already forgot, the summer event durin was a copy of OG durins conciousness or he partially real?

oh thats what ||Varka|| will look like? its over

[stoic spade]

||can't believe varka is a gepard expy||

[odd thicket]

Yes it is him

[odd thicket]

Is it the dude with the stubble beard

[stoic spade]

https://tenor.com/view/gepard-honkai-star-rail-honkai-gepard-cutie-patootie-honkai-star-rail-meme-gif-14438793911249900856

[odd thicket]

Oh this guy

He looks

Budget phainon

[stoic spade]

Blond phainon so true

[odd thicket]

Too generic tbh

Did he release on launch v

?

[stoic spade]

Yeah he's a standard unit

Shielder

[odd thicket]

Oh a standard

Explains it

Hope varka is more than that

[stoic spade]

Hopefully

[odd thicket]

Tbh

I wouldnt mind if varka isnt playable

So long as Dottore makes it

[lilac coral]

all i can imagine is ajaw handing a fully grown man a stuffed bear and complaining about how nothing's ever good enough for him when he says he needed a new vine launcher 😭

also i really like how they outline the event area in a cinema film reel, it looks cool

anyways, as i'm starting the event i'm still trying to wrap my head around how neuvilette got ||stabbed|| 😭

OH THAT'S WHY EVERYONE IS MEMEING IFA

i am really into this really stupid dynamic between him and ororon

man, i think sedene is the first npc we've had that was silent for a quest/event since the strike

[lilac coral]

i hope wrio moves out and finally gets that pet he's always wanted
i hope it's a rishboland tiger or something insane that acts like a giant lazy house cat

okay, as much as i'm not a huge fan of cacucu's voice, it's still hilarious when he belts out a laugh at someone else's expense

this entire fucking moment is just

"i'm sorry for my grandson bursting in like this"

"i'll go back out and try again" ORORON

[lilac coral]

GOD HELP ME THE WAY HIS VA SAID THIS TO TRY AND SOUND LIKE THE GODFATHER

IM CRYING

HE'S STILL GOING WITH THE ACCENT

[lilac coral]

man that cutscene is so good

it's so fun with how they use the comic book style as props for things, like him throwing navia's panel into the guards to stop them

them calling out gamblers in the end of this kind of feels funny considering the new stuff they had to put into place for americans with literally spelling out how much you're spending on each fate when you buy welkins or crystals

little kinich is adorable 😭

[white nimbus]

Ororon's VA said this is his favorite line

[white nimbus]

I remember Timaeus & Madame Ping were mute in the most recent Lantern Rite

[lilac coral]

oh they were?

i'll be honest, i didn't actually play it after the first quest, i didn't have time to 😭

well that sucks

oh wait right, timeus was mute this version as well when he was talking to sucrose in paralogism

damn, dehya is mute too

holy fuck suddenly i'm playing mission impossible

like look at this shit 😭

some of these are spinning rapidly btw

welp, i got hit about as much as i thought i would for this one

timing the time dilation was kind of tricky when they move towards you so fucking quickly

or rather, the spinning makes some of them look like they're moving at you really quickly

poor lyney 😭

[thick oyster]

Why

[odd thicket]

Durin already takes up one playable Male slot

Dottore can take the other

[thick oyster]

Wuthering Waves ahh male to female ratio

[odd thicket]

What

[thick oyster]

Only 2 male characters

[white nimbus]

What the hell kinda thinking is that? Genshin is only allowed 2 playable male 5-stars per patch cycle now?

[odd thicket]

We had just one in 2024

[white nimbus]

Yeah even worse

[odd thicket]

I wouldnt mind if all 3 were 5*

since all 3 are hella popular

Sadly outside of neuv people dont like male 5*

hoyo doesnt make much off of them anymore

[lilac coral]

I remember the days of the kazuha banner 😔

[stoic spade]

Male don't sell yet win popularity polls left and right 😔

[odd thicket]

that doesnt mean they get money

Hoyo like NetEase uses Unsupervised Learning to study their revenue streams for sure

[odd thicket]

That could be an effect of their slow reruns though

or their rarity that inflates their popularity

Most male characters do poorly in rerun banners

[stoic spade]

tbf rn we don't have any OP broken male chara (?)

(aside from neuvi)

[odd thicket]

Yeah

And people dont need zhongli anymore

Not even Al Haitham launch banner sold too much btq

Btw

3.4 had the highest selling banner of all time with Hu Tao and Yelan in second half

[stoic spade]

oh yeah I remember that time

Yelan rerun was a sight to be hold

[odd thicket]

Hu tao too
Everything fell in place

[stoic spade]

I still use Zhongli to this day but that's because I have his cons 😔

[odd thicket]

The units, 4* and weapon banner

[stoic spade]

yeah that was a very powerful banner

[odd thicket]

Oh
Yeah that makes it really worth

I would have pulled later but then I got Xilonen and Lanyan

[stoic spade]

Xilo is good I need to get her next rerun, I keep skipping her poor gal

[odd thicket]

Why skip her in 5.5?

Varesa / escoffier ?

[stoic spade]

I wasn't playing much

I just started playing genshin again last week

trying to get Skirk's funds 😔

been playing clair obscur like a madman

[odd thicket]

I just log in for half an hour per day to farm dailies, artefacts and giftset primos

[lilac coral]

I've logged in like twice in the last couple of weeks

[odd thicket]

work ?

[reef axle]

skill issue?

[odd thicket]

Tried to farm gift set primos, one set wants 3200 relam coins another wants a furniture from an remarkable chest that spawns on RNG

One thing this hunt for furniture was good for is that i have gotten the leftover chests

[lilac coral]

Yes work

To keep it short, ||a coworker's sister died, another coworker's mother almost died as well as his sister, one of our two managers is in the hospital for a medical emergency, and another coworker got suspended today because he called out sick yesterday with no note again and screwed everyone yesterday|| along with some other stuff where I've been working extra to cover for 😭

Although the hospital one and suspended one are the last couple of days

[reef axle]

TL;DR: Classic Kc skill issue

[lilac coral]

Nah I'm gonna say it's a skill issue on everyone else, sounds like they should stop ||getting fucked by life ||

[odd thicket]

damn
that is hell
to cover their work too and hold the boat from sinking

[lilac coral]

I'm trying but I think it's burning me out, I've wanted to cry the last couple of days

But I feel like I shouldn't because my situation isn't nearly as bad as any of theirs

I'm just tired d

[bronze hearth]

had somethign similar, our office is supposed to be like 9 people 4 were on scheduled pto, 2 had family deaths, 2 more lost power for a while this left me to handle all work for a week in the last week fo april

[lilac coral]

Yeah 😭

But we are a grocery store and it was the first weekend of campsites opening and about to be Memorial Day weekend so we were kinda fucked LOL

I am incredibly glad I was able to hand out my shift on Wednesday because I guess that day specifically was an absolute shitstorm

[lilac coral]

this + the my neighbor totoro references are cute lol

guess they had to add the hyphen because of the overseas title for zootopia

wait, lyney and lynette have their own home out in the countryside

i thought they lived inside the orphanage in fontaine's main city

[lilac coral]

i think it's fine, but i'm curious as to why they made red and white colored lol

[inland saddle]

how did y'all feel about the moon event

it ended without the final phase ever happening but besides that

[lilac coral]

Because I guess all it was meant to do was showcase the factions and a sneak peek at nod krai (specifically the moon island) 😭

So they had the one update and it was done

[lilac coral]

But still, it was a hefty pile of crumbs

[queen prawn]

I guess they don't wanna explain what happened to the 2nd moon

[lilac coral]

yet

[odd thicket]

Prolly saving it for the Dain quest am guessing

We have an unanswered moon fragment to the west of Natlan, beside a Fatui Saurian research lab

[lilac coral]

To the west of natlan?

The only things I can find are the phlogiston research lab in southern natlan, which is slightly west of the location to the moon fragment southeast where we meet that kid who tells us it grants wishes

Unless there's another fatui lab that idk about/didn't discover

[inland saddle]

they did, they did explain how all 3 moons died

its just that like

the final phase never happened 😭

trust tho it will be constantly updated

[odd thicket]

yes. right at the border

[odd thicket]

its part of a little one world quest

[odd thicket]

yes that place exactly

[queen prawn]

I should've word it better ,I mean they could give a little more lore about the moon (origin or their purpose before they fell) ,not just "here 11 faction "

Me saying "what happened to the 2nd moon" was preferring to when the first moon destroyed, we got 11 faction lore, 2nd moon destroyed should drop some more lore, I didn't think clearly ,so it was my fault

[odd thicket]

I found this interesting post on reddit regarding the Eternal Moon

it shattered and it flooded all of teyvat

and was responsible for turning Inazuma into an archipelago

according to the Emblem Domain description

and Kairos had been in search of this moon when she discovered Enkanomiya

https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Lore/s/a9khYHDKLk

This is the one if anyone was interested

[lilac coral]

Oo

[odd thicket]

So, in ancient dragon city underground level2, i came across large white tree trunks

Perhaps Irminsul chunks b

?

[lilac coral]

Idk what you're talking about but maybe!

Considering that's what they usually are

[odd thicket]

I took a screenshot that ill send a few hours later

But the tree’s texture wasnt silvery

It was grey like the platforms and structures in the city

[odd thicket]

I finally 100% dragon city

What. A. Ride.

Easily the best exploration experience.

[lilac coral]

Nice!

[lilac coral]

OOOOOHH

It could be

My brain is telling me it isn't because it's missing the like

Streaks of "magic" like the tree in dragonspine or the irminsul we see with nahida

[queen prawn]

Then it could be regular tree

Also Irminsul branch are supposed to go upward,this one is going down,which look like it root

[lilac coral]

We are also talking about a hidden civilization inside of a volcano with LCD screens covering the entire "sky" so who knows if it's also upside down inside

That and what if it's a root and not a branch

[queen prawn]

Irminsul root/branch has glowing and silver outline

So it is unlikely that tree root is one

Also Irminsul root appear in location that was nailed

[lilac coral]

Yee, like I said earlier

Specifically the "magic streaks" part, not the nail part

Also where is that second image? Tsurumi?

That's by the boatman right

[queen prawn]

Yup

[lilac coral]

Cool

I don't think I ever noticed that one while playing

[inland saddle]

oh that's alright, and yes I agree, it was really lame that they didn't drop anything for the second moon being destroyed 😭

I've thought about it at length but the web event was managed very weirdly, it also wouldn't be a lie to say that I hate how they handled it and that the event pissed me off quite a bit

cancelling the final phase was super lame

[inland saddle]

them confirming what the flood was caused by was super cool

eternal moon becoming an Ei lore stock upscale is always welcome

[lilac coral]

Did they cancel it or just not have one

My feeling was that there wasn't one

But yee, otherwise the stuff they shared was really cool

And them stepping up to try and tackle a lot of lore and worldbuilding in upcoming patches is very welcome

[queen prawn]

They might do another when 5.8 is about to come, in 5.8 stream or 5.7 if they want to tease it again

[odd thicket]

THis could be a root of Irminsul rather than branch

[odd thicket]

I think we can see it in natlan too
after fightng all totem challenges

[odd thicket]

they dont need to imo

the next two story quests are already very focused on Teyvat chapter and the Abyss

Too many moons can ruin the surprise in nod krai

[odd thicket]

it was always bound to be one

[inland saddle]

its true

capitano fr gonna powercreep her 😭

[inland saddle]

they cancelled it, we know this because they actually included the art of the final phase in the launcher, but then removed it, and on one of their chinese websites, they had this icon that would take you to the moon event, which was also updated to be the final phase, and then reverted it back to the previous phase 😭

this was the final phase

[lilac coral]

Oh

I wonder why it got cancelled then

[inland saddle]

its seriously lame that they cancelled it because of what I assume was too much lore to reveal with how far away Nod Krai still is

[lilac coral]

[inland saddle]

which begs the question on why start the event in 5.4 💀

[lilac coral]

It's only like

3 months

[inland saddle]

ikr 😭

[lilac coral]

They should spoil us

[inland saddle]

moon event was such a flop...it got updated once and they really said yup we're done

but it had nice lore for what we got

[lilac coral]

Yeeee

[inland saddle]

they uploaded this icon on the 6th when the event ended on the 10th like wtf were they doing 😭

[lilac coral]

😭

But nobody could parse the info that would have dropped along with it?

[dense moss]

Hoyo be like:makes lore outside of the game
hoyo: we wont do it again
hoyo: does it again
Also hoyo: deletes it and hopes everyone forgets about it

[odd thicket]

He would by virtue of not depending on a fontaine chef

[odd thicket]

We got livestream instead

[odd thicket]

To flood SM with genshin talk

The lack of natlan expansions or their infrequency is poor

[lilac coral]

But we were going to get the Livestream anyway

[odd thicket]

I think

The leadup to the livestrram

Livestream

With the infocards about each faction

Was the third uodate

Update

Rather than update the website they released it on SM

[somber star]

she is already powercrept by every dps in the game without ice cofee bro 😭

[odd thicket]

Thats an exaggeration

[stoic spade]

I'm all out for Capitano outdmging her

[queen prawn]

Mavuika without Bennett is mid, without Citlali is mid, Neuvillete without any major support is mid, Arlecchino without Bennett is mid,+other major support,even citlali.A lot of DPS without Bennett is mid, Dendro/Electro without Nahida is mid, Electro without Chevreuse is mid. Most Hydro are vaporise support ,Anemo DPS without Faruzan C6 and Bennett can go cry in the corner

with the exception of Chasca, although I'm not sure what support she want,I assume Bennett and Furina

[lilac coral]

Reminder that when we get to nod krai we might finally get to see horses

Nearly 5 years in the making

[static oxide]

you're back here

[odd thicket]

Naw wrong

Mavuika is just so strong she can work fine even as raw sub dps

Neuvillette can solo

Dendro/ Electro with nahida can he counter productive at times

Agree a out electro without chevvy though

[odd thicket]

Chasca wants bennett mavuika citlali

Its her best team

[queen prawn]

NodKrai offer Horse Gameplay like Saurian in Natlan

https://youtu.be/1NNwhodR8vk?feature=shared

This was a good watch

[lost quail]

I don’t think Arles killed an innocent person before unless it was ordered by the Tsaritsa
And probably the crime is something really high. Like treason.

Other than that. She seems to only kill people who have hurt her kids or plans to kill others . She seems to avoid messy conflict strategically.

Further cementing that she’s not an evil person. Or a bad person, but she’s not a good person either.

She’s both

[lost quail]

Maybe we can ride it and Kaeya can finally have a Calvary

[lost quail]

This is insane actually

[lilac coral]

It'd be cool if we could ride a horse like mudbray and stuff in Pokemon

And just charge along vast expanses with a separate/slower depleting/non existent stamina bar

It seems snezhnaya is meant to be massive so it'd be cool if we could do that for special travel

Maybe even have attacks only the horse can do, like with saurians

im mostly just excited we might finally see horses LOL

I wonder if they'll be "normal" sized or if they're gonna be like massive war horses

[reef axle]

I could see her killing an "innocent" person if it was neccesary and didnt complicate things (Ex: Trying to do a stealth op, a random bystander spots her). She doesnt really seem the type to be bothered by that too much

Not going out of her way to, but not hesitating either.

[lost quail]

Right. She’s pretty stealthy too. So getting spotted I feel is hardly a worry.

This is even addressed in her story quest when paimon LOUDLY SHOUTS LIKE THE LOUD MOUTH SHE IS

“You tried to kill Furina?”

Arle said “it wouldn’t matter if you shouted it from the roof tops”

That bitch don’t care

[lost quail]

Like collateral?

[reef axle]

Like if someone was breaking in to a mansion, and a maid/janitor spotted them...
There's a lot of characters that would be so hesitant about dragging in innocents that they'd let them go even at the risk of getting caught.

Arle seems like she's have no problem "silencing" them for good if it helped her/the hearth carry out the mission successfully.

[lost quail]

Yeah that or she’d knock ‘em out

And I doubt she’d go in without a disguise. So if she did knock them out. It’s not like theyd recognize her

Someone needs to tell her though

That she needs to make her disguise a lil better

I wouldn’t have been able to tell it was her but like

I dunno

[reef axle]

Knocking them out is nice if it's an option. My point was more if she had to, I doubt she'd have much (moral) trouble with it

Outside of the hearth, I feel like everyone else gets viewed as "hassle/not a hassle" in her head

[lost quail]

She would either knock them the fuck out or kill them. Cuz she has a job to do. But she would avoid it entirely if she could help it.

Like she’d be stealthy to avoid getting spotted because then she’d have to do something about it. So for her it’s necessary to avoid that conflict by being careful.

Because I don’t think she’d kill an innocent person just because. Or because she likes it or because they’re nothing better to do or you know anything like that

Only if it’s absolutely necessary like you said.

I think it’s less hassle snd more “ok who can be of benefit to me and my children…” but that’s for diplomatic purposes only.

Regular people like citizens

Like Navia or Chiori. She views them like literally anyone else would. Because they don’t benefit or stand in her way. So there’s no reason for that hassle or no hassle

Ugh shes so complex

I want to bite her

[reef axle]

Doesnt feel that complex tbh lol

If anything, it feels harshly/strictly simple

[lost quail]

Tbh it feels complex to me she’s unpredictable

Like she’ll kill somebody if absolutely necessary like if they’re blatantly shitty people

Or people who threaten a mission like a maid or a witness and I don’t think she’d hesitate to do something about that. Whether it be killing or knocking them out.

But I feel like she’d knock them out instead of kill them. Not out of hesitation

But like
Why kill them when you can just knock them the fuck out?

Like if I broke into someone’s home wearing a disguise and someone caught me. I’d knock them out

Cuz for me killing them would be unnecessary when I can knock them out and still get the job done. They wouldn’t even know it was me because I’d be wearing a disguise

………..

I’m not a criminal btw

NAUR PLS!!

[odd thicket]

Thats what she tells herself

she defo offed an innocent person once before

We have that disabled ya dingus lol

[lilac coral]

LOL the top comment is saying how this is the biggest qol in the game 😭

So if she's not voicing paimon ever again, I wonder if they'll just try and cast someone who sounds close enough to pass as paimon and keep it going or will they actually try and have someone voice all like 80k+ voice lines she has in the game

Also this post is so cute

Look at him helping qiqi

My heart

[white nimbus]

Qiqi being barely visible

[lilac coral]

She's barely visible but she's definitely helping!

But this is just a super cute scene

Especially the dialogue in the tweet

[white nimbus]

Probably like the Trailblazers. They'll record the new lines first & just slowly replace the old lines down the line. Like with Kinich too

[white nimbus]

Yeah and I remember there was a Xiao video where he passed out & Qiqi carried him on her back all the way to Bubu Pharmacy

[lilac coral]

Yeee, but he was unconscious for that one lol

This one he's conscious and willingly participating, which makes it cuter

[odd thicket]

This is ad

Sad

SAG AFTRA fucked them over bad

[reef axle]

this one specifically a bit less so

[odd thicket]

Mah

Nah

SAG AFTRA did them in

[reef axle]

Nah, Paimon's VA has been problematic even before SAG lol

[odd thicket]

Ironic coz AFTRA should cover VAs

[odd thicket]

No ik that

Now there are no chances for VA unions anymore

[lilac coral]

The premise of a union used to be important as it gave power to its members, like voting for contract changes that would benefit them

But sag has been really shit for a long time it seems, from making members wait to vote (which fucks them over) to making them pay absurd amounts to even be a part of the union (which, apparently, is a $3000 fee with 1% of income going to them on top of another fee I forgot the amount for)

It is its own undoing, the point is to benefit the members but it feels more like a private club and nothing more the more I hear about how they function lol

Rip to all of the members who were genuinely just using it to try and help make a living for themselves and not just sucking whatever higher up came their way 😭

This entire thing specifically I think will turn most projects away from hiring union which fucks over all the people who had no real say in what happened

Projects that would have otherwise been fine with hiring union members* I mean

[reef axle]

As usual, theorycrafters to focused on chasing big numbers to enjoy the game lol

Her playstyle is fun, her self heal feels comfy, her kit is simple to understand, she's got a pretty decent story, and she looks badass

Everything else is just a problem for Abyss speedrunners to worry about imo

"Oh no, she only deals 1.6 million damage per round and 92,000 damage per second 😭😭😭"

[odd thicket]

Nah

This is just joking

Arle is stronger with vertical investment

[odd thicket]

You can still clear abyss with 45k dps so it doesnt matter

This meme was from a clorinde main tc who got tired of defending and went on offensive today

Otherwise i agree with it tbh
For f2p unless you really like her no point in pulling

[spark portal]

What kind of trial that lets the witness stand right beside the defendant lol

For Diluc, i think i can accept it
For Beatrice tho... not so much

[spark portal]

EULA IS FUCKING CRAZY FOR KEEP QUIET ABOUT THE EVENT OF FESTERING DESIRES (idk the name sorry)

[lilac coral]

I was screaming that the entire time I was doing that quest

Like she was THERE AND WITNESSED IT, why did nobody fucking remember it until the end that albedo had a fucking doppelganger

[spark portal]

I didn't even play the event, but I knew Eula was there

[lilac coral]

I play lumine, so I had no idea aether just straight up bows and prays like he's just seen god in the flesh for this line

https://youtu.be/V8Jqx_1wo4w?si=zndKW9FYklaqkQrg

[spark portal]

Bruh, the game didn't even introduce me like a pop up style for Mini Durin, even tho I didn't play last summer event

[lilac coral]

Rip

[spark portal]

I think this is relatable to their personality, Aether with his defensive personality (shown in attack forms) and Lumine with her offensive personality (same as before)

[lilac coral]

I can't tell if this is a meme or not

I don't think a fighting style is necessarily part of a personality with these two, more or less how they cover each other, yeah?

But maybe it is idk

[lilac coral]

finally trying to finish the little buddy world quest and man, the abyss can be so volatile yet so pretty 😭

also that circle in the center, i can't tell if it's meant to represent light bending around the brightest source, or if it's meant to represent some hidden moon/eclipse behind the pillar

but either way, it makes for a super cool visual

i guess i'll see once i get closer to the pillar

yeah i think it's just the effect of light bending around its source

"an omen of annihilation and the final entreaty" is a hell of a quest name

i hope hoyo continues to make these incredibly interesting locations, i don't even care if they're revisitable or not anymore, it's a feast for the eyes any time they create one

like it's just so

[lilac coral]

oh this is so funky

[lilac coral]

is this area where xuicoatl died? the place is littered in the skeleton of what looks like a dragon/serpent as giant as apep

[dense moss]

i tried to check better with the mod that takes fog away but it's even worse

[lilac coral]

DUDE WE WERE ABOUT TO CREATE A FUCKING BLACK HOLE

[dense moss]

but from what i can tell it's multiple different skeletons

[lilac coral]

it is??

😭

[dense moss]

i mean without fog you cant see shit

[lilac coral]

ohh

[dense moss]

unlike in the overworld where taking the fog out makes you see stuff better

on that place taking the fog out is like turning off the lights

but as far as i could see it's multiple skeletons or one skeleton that's been broken into many pieces

[dense moss]

i mean you literally delete the whole universe

and melt it all together as one entity of phlogiston

[lilac coral]

that's what i was assuming honestly, it being broken into pieces
the giant spear that's in the ground that the camera panned to every time they mentioned xbalanque made me think that's what he used to kill it

this thing

[dense moss]

That's the sword the boss fight has

Or at least it looks like it but with the blade destroyed

[lilac coral]

yee

which would give that boss an extra layer of depressing realization

using the weapon that killed the creature it's using as a body

[dense moss]

Natlan is too convoluted for me tbg idk must of the names

I don't even remember which one xuicoatl is

[lilac coral]

s'okay, i've been trying to read the dialogue for this quest out loud and i keep fucking up "huitzilopochtli" or whatever it's called 😭

like how the hell

[lilac coral]

the pyro sovereign from long ago

[dense moss]

Aztec names are a bitch

[lilac coral]

that xbalanque killed

they really are

[dense moss]

I'd know im also playing the aztec/Mayan fgo story

Mictlan nahui

They do go hard on the aesthetic

On some of the bosses

That's camazotz

The only one whose name I can pronounce

[lilac coral]

yeeee

[dense moss]

Like the main antagonist is tezcatlipoca the god of war

How the fuck do I pronounce that shit

[lilac coral]

idk, i'm not aztecan/mayan

i assume it's pronounced how it's spelled

it's just a lot of letters, like dutch

[dense moss]

I can at least spell kukulcan

[lilac coral]

damn we've been frozen this entire time without a single thought 😭

oh, now i know why this quest made people sad

YES LUMINE

also a saurian confessing his feelings of affection for the traveler before ayaka is kinda funny

has anyone made another meme with her? but little buddy being first in line with her mad in the bg

even if it's not romantic love

dude, varessa gets a full ass cutscene like 2 minutes into her tribal quest??? damn

using that area as inspiration i really want to try and recreate the scene where xbalanque kills huitzcoatl with a giant sword

it might be a visual glitch, but could you imagine going to the collective of plenty before you do the quest to get to tonatiuh and just look over and go "what the fuck is in the clouds over there?"

[odd thicket]

Not a black hole

A atar

[lilac coral]

i mean, usually when two incredibly powerful objects collide they make a supernova or a black hole iirc

which is why i said that

though was it actually meant to turn into a star

the thing is called a "sunquake"

kind of ironic that corina's announcement of how they're not voicing paimon anymore came the day before paimon's birthday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7A0MpTlcN4

like i totally remembered it was her birthday

i promise

[queen prawn]

She has a birthday?

[odd thicket]

1st of June too

Right in the middle of the year

[white nimbus]

Yep same as Itto

[lilac coral]

Happy birthday itto!

[dense moss]

ayaka needs to get her shit together the kamisato line aint continuing itself

and ayato is to busy with work and thomas

[spark portal]

Paimon's gift is a new EN VA

Also

Hot or cold take: Event stories should be permanent, but not all event stories should be permanent

LIKE HOW THE FUCK I SHOULD REMEMBERED THE FESTERING DESIRE EVENT WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN PLAYED IT AT ALL

[white nimbus]

Yeah they should take a page from ZZZ's book. Seriously, why does ZZZ have so much QoL already when it's not even a year old?

[spark portal]

Not complaining about this, but all three big games from Hoyo don't have this one feature: a sort of artifact loadout

Yet only Genshin fandom are the one who is complaining about it, not HSR or ZZZ

[white nimbus]

It's not really a must-have especially for casuals

[spark portal]

HSR has multiple multi-role characters, ZZZ's characters are mostly made for one role

But one or two single outlier characters in ZZZ can be turned into sort of a DPS

It's Lighter and Koleda

What's funny about this is that Koleda's reddit account is rivals-close-to-being-enemies to Lighter's reddit account

[lilac coral]

It's funny you mention that, because usually they add dialogue or have a pop up that explains what you might have missed if you didn't play it/it's been a while

At least recently

So it's weird that they didn't do the same for paralogism

Wait

Yeah, nvm they didn't

[spark portal]

It did for me, they have a summarized explanation for the festering desire event

[lilac coral]

Oh, then that's good at least

[topaz anvil]

new reAction is good now bring it to overworld

[lilac coral]

ReAction?

[odd thicket]

ik this is years old by now but in game map view of Venti statue in the square is so alike to that of a clock

[lilac coral]

oh damn, the mushroom wants to know what's up with the abyss and the moons too

[lilac coral]

it's 2:50 'o clock

or 10:10

who knows?

it'd be funny if it was though and they used an angel number for it/whatever it was called when the numbers are the same for something

[lilac coral]

WAIT WE ACTUALLY GET XAMARAN LORE?

i didn't think they'd ever fucking mention that mushroom ever again 😭

[dense moss]

Xamaran is eternal

If we didn't have the dendro dragon I would still be coping that xamaran is the dendro pet for the archon like yae is for Ei

Xamaran deserves more

[odd thicket]

Xamaran is likely there to drop us flood lore

[spark portal]

Paralogism is almost connected to Natlan's quests, specifically the question from Capitano about survival and life

Also, can anyone tell me if this is true or it's just a simplification of a complex thing?

English translate:
-Naberius was eaten by Rhinedottir
-Venti is cousins with Egeria, Albedo, and Durin
-Venti, Albedo, and Durin are Furina's uncle

[odd thicket]

yes
