if the golden slumber taught us anything, yes.... PepeHands

#

aww, when alhaitham sees kaveh genuinely upset he actually agrees to help without a fight 😭

#

i love how they animated alhaitham's eye and head movements to wordlessly tell kaveh to attack the fan to read a new slab

#

THE WHAT NOW

#

JINN-BLOODED DANCING GIRL??

#

oh wait

#

wait i means nabiru right

#

i thought it meant "jinn-blooded" like some dancer went and massacred a bunch of jinn and was covered in their blood

#

nevermind, not nabiru

#

nabu?

#

nabu

#

but someone named makhaira 😭

#

oh shit

#

of course cyno would look at an ancient talking cat in a tomb and ask "i wonder if he plays genius invokation tcg"

#

i really like the accent they put on for the cat in english though

#

he sounds very charismatic too

#

thoth giving sobek and heryshaf the nicknames "croco" and "goatie" is actually so cute 😭

#

i love the idea of these three idiots playing chess and constantly nagging one another like alhaitham and kaveh do on a daily basis

#

my brain is acting up again and telling me to draw this scene but in my style, and would inevitably be left unfinished like everything else JDTRHSEG

#

excuse you mr. thoth ANGERY
i would very much like to dwell on it, please expand upon what you fucking said

#

actually getting to speak with one of the ancient gods we've only seen in text during world quests up until this point is really cool though

#

and him being so outwardly friendly to us to boot

#

that was nice, i liked that

She had to be cut off from swearing multiple times

brave marten
#

I don't remember them stating Tholindis committed human experiments?

#

or if it was even implied

#

oh ambr too 🥀

#

can't open a lot of sites either bcz of that

#

was this when they went to fetch the Iridescent moon marrow?

#

completely forgot it honestly

#

oh

#

imma check youtube to see if someone uploading their playthrough of the archon quest

#

@odd thicket was it during the chess segment?

#

ohh

#

ok yea I reached it

#

talking about sending subjects

#

inside the gate?

#

yeah that's human experimentation alright

#

honestly atp

#

I feel like every person who had a job at a research facility or something of the sort in Khaenriah

#

committed crimes like that

#

that's what I was about to say

#

there's no way someone as high as Capitano

#

wasn't aware of the shady stuff Irmin did and ordered others to do

#

everyone in khaenriah who was a knight with a decent enough rank was an accomplice one way or another

#

Capitano can't be as innocent as he said he is

#

he must've known

worldly rain
#

Tbf she was forced by the higher ups if anything
She also entered that space so not like she wasn't involved herself here

lost quail
#

That woman did that shit of her own volition

brave marten
#

indeed

#

there's no way they hadn't heard of the racher of solnari and his actions

#

funny to think that Rerir was a known figure in Khaenriah just only by his title

worldly rain
#

Ah nvm the but the point remains they didn't know the nature of marrow they were researching so what happened wasn't exactly forced by her but an accident
She's still to be blamed for that but not on dottore level be honest here C_TaoHehe

brave marten
#

yea I agree with the Dottore level part

lost quail
#

Rerir should be treated with equal accountability as Tholindis and vice versa

brave marten
#

it seems the magistrate was focused on that research before and then shifted focus towards other stuff

brave marten
#

even Dainsleif

#

the only reason he went against the king was because his brother got abducted

worldly rain
#

Also the people involved were her own group the crimson moon dynasty remanent so they weren't really forced but involved in the experiment themselves

brave marten
#

wait for it to turn out that the racher of solnari was one of the 4 pillars but no one knew his real identity

worldly rain
#

And they knew what they were getting into so A_HuTaoShrug

#

Also nowhere it's said she sent more people it's just one time observation by her

brave marten
#

yeah, I hope hoyo doesn't ignore his role in the fall of Khaenriah

#

real, I want it to happen so bad

#

😭

worldly rain
#

The first time some people entered the chamber where marrow was basically

brave marten
#

dude I just thought of something

#

out of the 5 sinners and Dainsleif

#

Surtalogi seems like the person who's most innocent?

#

before the 5 sinners stuff of course

#

the two worlds space is where the crimson moon marrow was right?

#

Surtalogi being the most innocent person of your group is wild

worldly rain
#

She didn't lol

She was researching on how to open moon gate but that didn't happen until the end so how would she sent people into that....
She found the marrow and eas researching on it that's it the incident happened when they decided to enter the chamber wherw the marrow was

brave marten
#

yea just making sure

worldly rain
#

The marrow basically turned those who entered the chamber into abyss creatures I'm guessing but that happened before she found out a way to open moon gate

#

She didn't throw anyone into the gate lol

#

It's like colors quest where two scientists fucked up but the whole group was involved in that experiment no one was forced basically

#

I'm making an analogy

#

The experiment done by tholindis and the people involved were part of the same group
Just because they couldn't predict the nature of marrow and got royally fucked doesn't mean tholindis forcefully killed them

lost quail
#

It’s tiiiiiiiiiimmeeeeeeew

worldly rain
#

Sure I guess but let's not put her in the same pedestal as dottore
Her people were literally getting hunted and getting the secret of the marrow was important breakthrough for them
They knew the risk and they took it

brave marten
#

@odd thicket wait I was thinking about the whole Rerir thing we talked about earlier

#

we agree that he has an important position in Khaenriah

#

but if he is why does he keep calling himself a nobody in the flashbacks?

queen prawn
# brave marten but if he is why does he keep calling himself a nobody in the flashbacks?

Well,there were a lot of somebody with high position in Khaenriah, like Capitano ,Pierro and probably more. Rerir is just an assassin who is dedicated with his job, the King pawn to kill the Crimson Moon followers,he think he is a nobody because he isnt as great as the other Sinners. Thing is,what is he going to do after all the Crimson Moon descendants are gone? Yeah ,he becomes a true nobody

#

Also a lot of people talk shit about him in the flashback no?

reef axle
#
  • his role doesnt actually decide anything. He merely carries out the execution orders the king decrees. He's not a key political figure or a senior researcher influencing decisions, he's just really good at carrying out his orders.
queen prawn
#

A_NoteTao that explains it better than mine

lilac coral
#

sort of like how executioners in the past would be isolated from others because they publicly had blood on their hands (and not as a warrior/soldier, which was seen as more important/better reputation)

#

even though it usually wasn't a personal choice for work iirc, it was seen as way less glamorous/positively received than most jobs

brave marten
#

how

#

huh

#

and how did he

#

cause the wild hunt

#

huh

#

I really need a video on Nod Krai's lore

#

is the wiki good enough

#

I've heard bad stuff about the wimj

#

wiki

#

can you link a good one

#

I want to read all about Nod Krai's lore or watch a good video

#

so like

#

this happened around the cataclysm too?

#

also

#

who's chernobog

#

is there a chance he's like

#

gosoythoth

#

yea

#

his name makes it sound like he used the abyss

#

oh kk

#

does this contain stuff about Reed Miller or just the origins of the wild hunt

brave marten
#

where's the

#

good one then

#

oh nvm

#

aight I'll watch it when I'm home

#

why did it absorb people from Hyperborea specifically tho

#

did the same youtuber do videos about other stuff about Nod Krai too?

#

I'll see if it it's good

#

but as long as he explains everything mentioned in Nod Krai

#

good enough for me

#

reminds of another youtuber who used to do theories

#

and his videos are humorous a lot

#

Wei is his name ig

#

really?

#

I thought the shades

#

were confirmed since the beginning

#

I began in 2.1 so not sure what we knew since 1.0

#

he no longer uploads I think

#

checked out his channel not long ago

#

his last uploaded vid is like months ago

grim mesa
#

Capitan prime>

brave marten
#

ain't no way

#

when did this happen

#

I wonder why

#

people thinking moon goddesses and the shades are the same thing in the big 25 🥀

#

it reminds me of when I was arguing with someone saying that Nahida is a moon because of that one line when she said Rukkhadavetta is the sun while she's the moon

#

bro doesn't get metaphors

#

dude, do you think the Irminsul burning stuff in the lazio trailer is a metaphor for Dottore committing blasphemy in Sumeru or it's an actual teaser?

#

I remember insisting on it being a teaser about future story stuff in reddit back in 2023 and I kept getting downvoted 💔

brave marten
#

yeah I guess it's metaophorical

#

too bad

#

I'm not sure if I remember correctly but isn't it confirmed back in Natlan that the loom of fate can make new leylines?

#

I thought back then they only said it can rewrite lines but not make new ones

#

well it can create leylines so

#

is it possible to destroy the ones created by the PO and make new ones under their control?

#

I wonder if we're having a new Dainsleif quest this patch cycle or if it's just Luna quests

#

and now the abyss sibling is making new Khaenriah using the loom of fate

#

remind me where is the new Khaenriah going to be again?

#

yeah probably, I hope whenever Dain appears again he finally addresses the elephant in the room and talks to Albedo and Durin about their creator

#

I thought 5.8 implied we're getting a Mare Jivari area eventually with the whole Enjou thing

lilac coral
#

Yeah, they also said they'd be releasing it in patches

#

And yet, we still have no updates to it kekw

#

It's kind of annoying me

brave marten
#

god I hope so

lilac coral
#

I want to see more mare jivari

brave marten
#

I don't want Khaenriah to be on top of Mare Jivari

#

I want the real Mare Jivari bruh

lilac coral
#

Ye

brave marten
#

and explore it with Enjou

#

I love the 6.1 quest but I feel there's many missed opportunities

#

like a Dain Rerir confrontation

#

Albedo and Dain talking about Rhinedottir

#

we'll see

#

wait

#

can I talk about map leaks here?

#

oh nice then

#

is there something interesting in Dornman Port?

#

so like

#

Mare Jivari cannot be explored the way it is now?

#

she basically joined the enemy side 🥀

#

if anything shouldn't he hate her more

#

wonder what's Enjou doing there currently

#

since it cannot be explored the way it is rn

#

she lowkey went to the worse side

#

if Dain doesn't throw hands with her I'm crashing out

#

if she's a mole

#

she's probably a Hexenzirkel spy then

#

either way Dain gotta throw hands

#

wonder what she's doing

#

she still seems loyal

#

even if in doubt

#

eh that's just her being

#

"kind" ig but from what we've seen in that shades teaser she still seems like she's a bit more loyal than the others

#

Irmin is still alive? and why would she be with Hroptatyr

thick oyster
#

Personally I think Irmin became the Loom of Fate

#

So kinda alive

brave marten
#

ohhh her new master would be the person opposing reason itself

#

didn't they kill him before the curse by Ronova was set in?

thick oyster
#

Yes
Vedrfolnir was loyal to Irmin before he went crazy too so he could be trying to restore him as well

thick oyster
#

Or just "something" happened to him

#

I don't really have time to debate this though
Got an essay to write lol

#

Thanks

#

Almost done on it though

brave marten
#

fair enough

#

oh

#

what's the popular theory behind his name being

#

Irminsul

#

having the same name as the tree?

#

that makes sense

#

but lowkey underwhelming

#

yeah I remember noticing the Odin similarities back when the chasm was released

#

oh do we know if Irmin has children?

#

yeah I know bro 😭

#

I was just thinking

#

of the Odin similarities

#

I wonder if he had children

#

who are equal to thor and loki

#

deadass?

#

in norse mythology*

#

?

#

my mind got corrupted by marvel bruh

#

this reminds me of people thinking Dain might be Pierro before the lazio trailer

#

oo I actually can see it

#

considering how slimy Hroptatyr seems to be

#

bootlicked the apocalypse into existence

#

actually dude

#

when Ronova was revealed

#

people thought she was the crimson moon

#

we lost a real one 💔

#

same

#

same thing with the lazio trailer

#

it was summer vacation for me and it was like 5 or 6 am and saw some people uploading pictures from bilibili

#

I didn't believe it

#

until I saw it uploaded on youtube

#

the Lazio trailer was absolute cinema bro

#

yeah iirc

#

in july 2022 I think

#

I had a burn out because of Natlan so I only watched it once back then

#

but when 6.0 dropped

#

I watched it a lot too

#

yes, that's how I remember it

#

it also made fall into the Dottore pipeline

#

and the harbingers pipline in general

#

the opposite for me tbh, I didn't really like it

#

you listen to en?

#

fair enough, I didn't really enjoy the exploration but it was just me not liking Natlan in general

#

oh yea I love his en voice too

#

I forgot which language was it but

#

there was a language in which you can notice that each segment has a different voice direction

#

that was peak

#

probably jp

#

cz I don't play kr much

#

I change between en and jp depending on the characters appearing in the quest

#

I liked Fontaine's archon quests though I found Arlecchino underwhelming and the ending a bit rushed but it's still good

#

and for exploration I'm a sucker for underwater exploration in any game

#

so I really liked it

#

I change to jp for Dori

#

idk why

#

but I find her funny in jo

#

jp

#

and my friends question me for thst

#

in that case we agree

#

like I said

#

I didn't enjoy Natlan

#

because I didn't like the story or the characters or the designs at all

#

I just wanted to be rid of it asap so I finished exploring it whole in 5.8

#

I'm usually a fan of this kind of scenes but idk man

#

I didn't even like this

#

btw

#

is it implied that the abyss has a sentient person behind it or it's just that good at adapting?

#

real

#

though honestly, I found the second phase in the story where the heroic music begins is kinda cringe

#

but the boss' theme

#

it's so peak

#

what is it

#

oh also

#

did the world quest in Natlan

#

confirm that the pyro sovereign

#

will come back eventually

#

?

#

soooo

#

Neuvillette?

#

another case of Neuvillette?

#

huh

#

well

#

another playable dragon

#

don't mind if I do

#

did they say he's not born uet

#

yet*

#

then why do you think it's too early

#

any info about the other 5 sovereigns?

#

oh wait apep exists

#

the other 4 then

#

I remember seeing that the electro one is in slumber under the tree in Inazuma

#

also is the Geo and Anemo sovereigns being Azhdaha and Dvalin is confirmed to be true?

#

oh I see

#

I hope it gets clarified

#

we get like

#

solid confirmations

#

anyways, imma go watch the video you sent earlier

worldly rain
#

Pre sumeru lore vs post sumeru lore you can actually see when hoyo decided to lock in their direction for the game's story

#

This sovereign stuff is just one of the proofs imo

worldly rain
#

It also contrast with the how pre sumeru they were very much aligned with honkai stuff but after it started doing it's own thing

worldly rain
# brave marten how so

Apep was the first explicit confirmation of sovereign and then after every region has got one
Before sumeru it was very vague and in case of electeo they didn't even bother to show anything

#

Makes me think they were still deciding where to go with whole sovereign stuff before sumeru

brave marten
#

I've never thought of the sovereigns as a big deal

#

it was only until Apep that I've realized how significant they are to Teyvat's story

worldly rain
#

They laid the foundation of sovereign being central to plot in their lore even back in 2.4 with enka but it took sumeru for the main story to catch up and then they also added nibelung who is even more important

#

I think atp they should confirm the anemo and geo one at least
Aa for electro that one can wait untill celestia war arc begins I guess

lilac coral
#

the electro one comes and saves us as a deus ex machina we never even knew lol

queen prawn
#

I dont expect any of the sovereign to be friendly after NeuviletteC_TaoHehe

#

Unless they mistook Traveler for Nibelung

lilac coral
#

I mean, now that apep isn't corrupted anymore she might be more agreeable when shit goes down kekw

chilly anchor
queen prawn
#

Even Neuvilette isnt significant because all he has is " I would" but never did

thick oyster
chilly anchor
# thick oyster They are slowly returning though

But they aren't though. It's prophesied/foreshadowed that they will but then if you actually know their lore, it doesn't add up.

Look at pyro first with Xihucoatl, his race is extinct, so by what means does he return without any members of his kind left and all the corruption of phlogiston since.
Next is dendro, Apep has to die to be replaced and Nahida saved her so she's just there now, in the desert wilderness doing nothing.
Then there's electro with no known dragons or lore whatsoever in the games history.
Then there's Geo Azhdaha is just the same as Apep, he never died he was only sealed.
Then there's Anemo that has only Dvalin currently.

So amongst all these dragons lore. Where are the returns gonna come from?

#

Neuvillette seems to be the only one that will have any relevance in the story going forward and that's because Fontaine has no archon.

thick oyster
# chilly anchor But they aren't though. It's prophesied/foreshadowed that they will but then if ...

Yeah but they are slowly gaining more prominence in the modern day and establishing connections with humanity, which you would have noticed if you paid attention to the lore

Xiuhcoatl is already known to eventually be reincarnated one day as his name card says for when you get a reputation reward in Natlan. He could be born among the humans since the Pyro dragons have devolved.

Apep was recently cured of her abyssal corruption and has approved of letting Nahida rule over Sumeru for the time being.

Azhdaha says to Zhongli that they will one day meet again even if he's currently gone mad from erosion.

Dvalin has also been cured from abyssal corruption and is coexisting peacefully with Mondstadt

Xbalanque has already stated that "they" will return in his quote about Neuvillette. He clearly wasn't just referring to Neuvi there so unless you don't know how to read then he means the dragons are returning.

The Electro and Cryo Sovereigns are complete unknowns at this point so it's impossible to make any judgements on them

#

Your account login is "Doodoo_muncher"?

#

But no, it's for your character name lmao

Didn't know that lol

Just know I can't change my login (username)

#

Yikes, another "similar color pallete " theory

#

I already learned from my mistake with that bloodstain artifact set and Capitano relation

#

Ngl,it might as well be genshin expy in genshinE_OMEGARAZOR

#

Which explained why some character pallete is similar

brave marten
#

honestly atp I don't think there will be a 10th harbinger

#

either that or the traveler is getting the seat in Snez

#

yeah I remember the crepus one

#

would explain why he has a delusion

#

someone high up in KoF is theorized to be a Dottore segment

#

they hid his face and he had blue hair

#

actually not sure if he had blue hair

#

I've never liked the Capitano bloodstained Knight theory tbh

#

was glad when it was proven wrong

#

ok wait

#

yea I remember seeing that he was just an abyssal monster hunting other abyss monsters now

#

didn't seem like the same guy as Capitano the first time we saw him

#

it kind of makes sense

#

at first I thought it was Crepus but

#

that doesn't explain why the Dottore's segment there

#

it makes sense

#

yeah

#

same behavior

#

but I don't think he's deserving of the 10th rank more than Tartaglia

#

yea the moment we got more stuff about him in Sumeru in that one Mond event it was apparent he's not the bloodstained knight

#

I feel anything Diluc can do

#

Dottore and Arlecchino can do better

#

since he's an informant of sorts

#

isn't Arlecchino's whole thing espionage?

#

fair enough

#

that would make her organization very fraudulent ngl

#

their whole thing is espionage and intel gathering

#

is there a chance the Fatui symbol in the Fatui wheel is actually the 10th harbinger's constellation if he actually exists

#

Pantalone? how?

#

oh that one

#

I don't remember his name being mentioned tbh

#

he mentioned in the end that it covers the owl constellation of Diluc's

#

I hope there's a 10th harbinger with a reason why he wasn't mentioned at all

#

this reminds me of when the Natlan teaser first dropped and some people theorized it might be Ororon

#

honestly I would've believed it but the one thing that made me oppose is he has no drip whatsoever

#

or Columbina/Sandrone

#

huh maybe Columbina does in 6.2's selenic chronicles

#

6.1's chronicles were very underwhelming for me

#

💔

#

I hope she gives one more thing about Dottore

#

keep him evil bro 😭

#

tho as much as I prefer him staying a villain

#

the fandom pisses me off sm for believing thoth's words in the event

#

thoth was mentioned to be a liar even by Nefer

#

and there was no reason for Dottore to leave the notes for other people afyer him

#

yeah

#

I either want him to be like Kimbley from FMAB or follows the troupe of a villain who genuinely sees there's nothing wrong with what he's doing

#

as long as it benefits humanity as a whole

#

yea but from FMAB

#

not FMA

#

did you not watch it

#

FMAB is peak

#

you should, it's really really good

#

but watch the brotherhood version

#

the 2003 version is nice but it didn't follow the manga after like 20 episodes

#

yep

#

the 2003 version stopped following the manga after 20 bcz it was ongoing

#

the brotherhood version which released in 2009 is a remake that follows the manga entirely

#

of course watch brotherhood

#

you don't need to read the manga, the anime is well adapted

#

yea but of course don't watch rhe 2003 one

#

just brotherhood

#

it's 64 episodes long I think?

queen prawn
#

ok i re-read and was confused

brave marten

wdym by that

I wish HxH was finished too

#

it's my favorite anime bru

#

#

it's so peak

The trailer didn't include many Varka scenes, sad
But ||The leaks say he's going to have the second most voice lines in the quest so there's that||

But Venti saying that they Abyss is threatening Mondstadt again could tie into why Varka wants the Moon?

#

He could still be important for Act 2 as well
Idk though, I just want to learn what his expedition was for
And we know wolves are the children of the Moons so that will definitely be important

#

Yeah, I think Varka is gonna get the Eternal Moon Marrow

#

That doesn't require the Moon Marrow though

#

One of Fenrir's children in mythology is destined to eat the moon

#

And Varka has Fenrir connections

#

Yeah

#

Maybe Rerir is one of them too
Since he's also a wolf

#

Tholindis' name is "Solindis" in the original Chinese and Sol means sun in Latin so I think Rerir would be Skoll

#

Yeah

#

Thoth is Rhine confirmed

#

Skoll also means "mockery" or "treachery" which fits how Rerir shape shifted into the Sibling

#

My pitch @odd thicket

Alice is Klee’s bio mom and she knew her bio dad

But her dad died already and Klee hasn’t realized it as a cos consequence of her slow development

#

💔

#

That’s why no one talks about him but Klee

Cuz only she personally knew him anymore among her peers

#

Wat

#

Heck you mean “cop out”

#

Is Klee’s dad just gonna be a literal who that does
Nothing

#

Cop out would be homunculus bs

#

CN gacha fans HATE their waifus having already been with another man prior

#

#

Talk about picky sheesh

#

It’s not like Aether’s gonna come out here to woo her 😂

thick oyster
#

Is it yours?

#

Ah ok

#

Keep it that way

#

But I just had a horrible idea about Klee's dad
What if it turns out through some time magic BS The Traveler is somehow Klee's dad and that's why she calls him an adventurer

#

And then Alice turns to the Traveler and says that she has never loved anyone else as much as them

#

Pure abysmal dog shit

#

Time travel bs
Traveler goes back in time to when Alice was young, talks to her for like 4 minutes and then she falls in love with them

#

Could be a genetic donor type thing

#

Nothing is too weird for Waifu purists

#

Pink what?

#

Oh yeah the 200 dollar girl

#

Is it just me or is her and Nicole's models more detailed?
Like what Varka is to the normal tall male model

#

I actually like it
If Alice didn't have it I would probably like her design less

It's actually funny how she has all the Hoyoverse design tropes
She truly is Jane Genshin

On one hand it’s an anime game

It’s going to be stylized to reflect that. And the fittings are more pulled from inspiration than actually trying to be 1:1 with them (for better or worse) with more toony exaggerations to accompany them. But things like Varesa’s skirt isn’t even that reaching for the sphere either way. It’s just largely amalgamated with a semi-casual/cutesy fit too.

You’ve more than likely never seen a biker dressed up like Mavuika either, or seen Middle Easter scholars dressed exactly like Faruzan or Alhaitham.

Not that

Not this, I'm talking about something that's been around since like 1.6

#

Or roughly around there

#

I could try but I'm also trying to clean my condo since it's disgusting from not being cleaned the last few weeks because I was fatigued from being poisoned by carbon monoxide

#

My furnace was working fine, heating my space, but it was also giving up and filling my condo with carbon monoxide

#

I started getting headaches several days before my alarm finally went off

#

Nausea, dizziness, etc

#

There was also a bit of (now I know) soot/carbon on white things like my bowls and toilets, but because I am stupid I kept looking at the grey forming on them and going "I thought I washed that a few days ago, maybe I didn't clean it well enough" and would clean it again

lilac coral
#

Nope, it's apparently from the traveler's character page

#

The keeper is fading away; the creator has not yet come.
But the world shall burn no more, for you shall ascend.

#

And in the Chinese verbage, it isn't "keeper" it's the name they use in-game for the "the sustainer" which was often attributed to asmoday

#

So this has apparently been a thing since literally the beginning A_WheezeTao

#

While quickly trying to look for it I saw posts from fucking 2021 and I was like "yeah that sounds about right"

lilac coral
#

Yeah, it was $11k

#

I don't have reliable heat until they get here December 3d lol

#

Just a space heater on the ground floor that heats only the kitchen A_WheezeTao

#

But it's fine since I have blankets and stuff to stay warm under at night when I sleep upstairs

#

But phanes is known as the heavenly principles, asmoday had the moniker of the sustainer of heavenly principles

#

Like she physically calls herself the sustainer of heavenly principles in the intro cutscene when the traveler asks who she is

#

It's basically like

#

A basement room, stairway, a combined kitchen + living room space, stairway, bedroom and bathroom upstairs

#

The kitchen and living room are an open floor with like a half wall thing to "separate" them but it's one room with no door and the wall has a massive window in it lol

#

But the heater in here only heats half the room

#

Except asmoday, who's notably missing from the meeting in that animation they made that revealed their designs

#

They don't know where she is or what she's up to, and make assumptions as to what's going on with her

She could be fading off somewhere, we don't concretely know who her "new master" is (unless you like the paimon = asmoday theories)

#

There's a chance she could be working with the abyss twin too, since she apparently had a portal open to listen in on the twins talking during that dialogue cutscene in natlan

#

Unless the paimon theory explains it away as her discreetly cutting through space and time to listen in on the conversation with the abyss twin

lilac coral
#

Kinda yeah

#

It's like an apartment, it's attached to one big building, but everyone has their own unit to live in and all of them are two floors

#

A block?

#

Here, a "block" means a patch of road with houses, a single block is the space between two streets in a town or city in a residential space

#

No like

#

Think of a long rectangle

#

Now cut that rectangle into 10 squares going from left to right

#

Now you have the complex

#

Each square has a basement, a ground floor, and a second floor

#

And each floor is like 25-28m²/275-300ft²

#

Ground floor is one big room, has half a wall to separate the kitchen from the living space

#

One room for basement

#

Two rooms for upstairs

#

Tall square

#

Sort of like those videos of Japanese apartments where people make fun of them for being big enough for a pet but too small for continuous living as a person

But a bit bigger

They've been dying since Nibelung crippled them thousands of years ago
The Cataclysm probably just made it worse

Maybe that's why The Tsaritsa wants them? Remove the gnoses and Phanes loses their life support

After seeing the traveler purify so many things with abyssal corruption, do you guys think it'll eventually backfire? Like they purify too much and the abyss starts taking over their body?

worldly rain
#

They're actually becoming more strong if anything

#

Rene research lore implications and now with Rerir and kuvahki interaction it's becoming more apparent that traveler is not just purifying but actually absorbing the abyss power
...Unless it's different for traveler but I highly doubt it atp

lilac coral
#

Yeah that's what I mean, is there a point where the abyssal power just starts to taint them? Or even take over?

#

It felt like a power they used in the beginning and just completely forgot about until 4 years later and now the traveler is purifying things left and right lol

#

There's gotta be some sort of consequence to taking in all that negative energy right, even for someone like them?

thick oyster
#

I doubt it, Xiuhcoatl's story is meant to parallel Nibelung's and he got significantly weaker because of the Abyss
The Traveler is a "human" also as opposed to a pure elemental being like Nibelung, elements which are poisonous to the Abyss and vice versa
My theory is that Nibelung was essentially turned into one of those fungus zombies like cordyceps and that the Abyss was feeding off of his body. That's why Kukulkan says his body was a "breeding ground" for darkness

thick oyster
#

The only descender that has the ability to counteract the Abyss is the Traveler who is a different species from Nibelung and Phanes. Phanes has already shown an aversion to the Abyss so they lack the same ability that the Traveler does. The only thing that says all descenders have the ability to counteract the Abyss is you.

No Enjou in the Three Realms event explicitly says that the Abyss is poisonous to all dragons and elemental beings which has been corroborated by every Dragon we have seen being injured and weakened when they take in the Abyss. Xiuhcoatl had to make a specific kind of Phlogiston device in order for it to counteract the Abyss too.

The Abyss has no "truth" the only characters that say it is the truth are those who are already Abyss users. It's like a cult member telling you that their cult is the best and truest way of thinking.

Skirk's species didn't live with the Abyss. They just had the capacity to use the Abyss which was enough for the other species to destroy them out of suspicion due to how feared the Abyss is. Skirk's planet was a normal grassy plains instead of an abyssal landscape.

It's more like how insects will use the bodies of animals to incubate their eggs that explode out of them when they hatch, The Abyss was feeding on Nibelung's body and corrupting him, making him "corrupted" and even "pitiful"

queen prawn
#

A_NoteTao ,Skirk species can adapt to the abyss though right? It is not like they use abyss in their daily life or was said to know about the abyss at all(?), so they were only annihilated because other species feared her people will adapt to stronger environment(like abyss) = become a bigger threat

#

Also yeah,Descender dont immediately equal to immune to abyss the Angel/Seelie(high resistance or immune)(Primordial One) are parallel to Dragonkin(weak against abyss) (Nibelung,I think he is just highly resistance cuz he represents all the 7 sovereign element and we know sovereign abyss corruption doesn't take effect immediately) . The Twin is basically a combination of these two who can use two type of power without consequences

Her species apparently had a really really strong power of adapting to things because of their planet but the merchant civilization feared they would use this adaptation to use the Abyss to their strength so they destroyed them. Surtalogi however took an interest in Skirk because of this adaptation and started training her because of it and it's implied she didn't know about or use the Abyss before that point

thick oyster

The Angels are pretty weak the Abyss also since they're also elemental beings mostly. It's only humans who seem to have the ability to use the Abyss to their advantage since they aren't as elemental as the Gods or dragons but they can still easily be corrupted by the Abyss. The Sinners only got so strong because Irmin previously used the power of the Abyss Twin as a "refinery" pretty much.

#

When does Albedo use khemia to convert the Abyss into light realm energy and also the entirety of the Sumeru plot line was that the Ley lines failed and got corrupted by the Abyss and had to get fixed by Nahida.
Nibelung didn't really make the rest of dragon kind. He was just the first born dragon representing the planet of Teyvat itself whilst his kin were subsequently born from other things such as the Sea, the Primal Flame, etc. He is just the most light realm being as opposed to the rest of them being only aspects of the Light Realm.
The only description we get of how Nibelung got corrupted was that he was "reckless" and had the "forge of light" consumed by The Abyss so I don't think it was a willing process.

#

The Sinners got their Abyss powers from Irmin who got them in turn from using The Sibling as a battery and refinery process

queen prawn
#

Even Sinner themselves are not true abyss entity,they just can use the power to shapeshift,a true abyss entity would be Elynas, Bakuwana,Rifthound and so on,since they were forcibly brought to life with body that wasn't their while the Sinner already have a body and sane,probably because the Sibling made it less or none corruptive if we are going to use Diluc grape wine example

#

Abyss lector isnt a true abyss entity because it is just human whose body adapt to the energy and turn into a completely different being with their consciousness intact in the progress

river valve
#

Being a "true" abyss entity doesn't mean anything imo , elynas bakunawa rifthounds are all created by rhinedottir, who is more abyssal than her creations

#

Also the abyss in abyss lectors name isnt referring to the abyss its referring to abyss order, those are khaenriahn humans who got cursed by HP not corrupted by abyss (altho they might have but they're the way they're bc of the curse mainly)

#

I have some very curious questions that will keep me up

shell heart
#

Was wondering how much of the very first cutscene do we think is recorded in irminsul

#

Since sibling is recorded and traveler is not?

lilac coral
#

i'll be honest, i never thought of that A_WheezeTao

#

but thinking of it now, that was when they both had definitely been traveling around from planet to planet

#

which goes back to how i made a random thought about how the twins are in different timelines, and the abyss twin we see in-game is from a different timeline where they were from teyvat or something akin to it

#

but for an actual answer to that question- i don't think anyone would be able to definitively say since we don't even know exactly what happened with the two of them. when asmoday separated them did she also separate them in irminsul? who knows

lilac coral
#

i think it's really nice how the end of the third(?) act to mizuki's quest makes you just sit and watch the moon fall beyond the horizon, but it jumpscared me when suddenly i fell out of the tree out of nowhere A_WheezeTao

#

went from nice and peaceful and pretty to "FUCK WHAT IS HAPPENING"

queen prawn
#

I think the data is forbidden /deleted

queen prawn
#

Like if Traveler tell someone from Teyvat their favorite food ,it would not be recorded like how it would for other because Traveler isnt a variant in their system so those information have no where to go. So if they want to know what Traveler fav food is,they have to look through billions memories to find out

#

This apply on all Outsider

#

While Descender is more special and capable

#

We will probably know why sibling is "recorded" when we dig deep into Irminsul lore

shell heart
#

And why is traveler different from the other descenders?

#

So how are the particular actions they took part in throughout the game recorded

#

Just some some person did this and that?

thick oyster
#

Albedo was just feeding the Abyssal power to Columbina's Kuuvahki plus the strengths of the other Nod-Krai gang

Nibelung made the Moons but that's it. The Sovereigns emerged naturally from the world like he did.

If they were overwhelmed they failed and Rukk needed to be erased for them to be fixed

The prayer explicitly notes Nibelung's "dual nature" and how he was both a kind and heroic leader (normal Nibelung) and also a crazed monster (abyss Nibelung). That's more proof that Nibelung wasn't wielding the Abyss, since it so clearly changed his nature and personality into its exact opposite.

#

Dragons are elemental beings
Humans aren't

#

Nibelung is stated that getting Abyss'd was because of his "recklessness" which wouldn't make sense if the Abyss did nothing bad to him and only made him stronger

#

"Oh no you recklessly became Dr Manhattan what an idiot"

#

Yeah because he was corrupted and wasn't wielding it

#

Yes, corrupted

#

Yeah because humans function differently from dragons

#

His creations would have a similar nature to him
The Moons especially and the Abyss tortured Iridescent

#

It only barely kept her alive on Hell life support and she was relieved to finally see what she thought was the Frostmoon Goddess again

#

Indeed but they can still wield it better than gods or dragons on average
Skirk's species is the only one observed to be completely adapted to the Abyss

#

And she's technically a subspecies of human

#

But that isn't "converting" Abyss to Kuuvahki. It'd be like saying I'm "converting" wood into fire when I use one to start a fire. The fire is feeding on the wood not turning it into itself.

Neuvi's lore says that the Primordial Sea is where most of the world's life emerged from which would probably include most of the dragons.

It directly infected Irminsul itself and was infecting people in Sumeru with Eleazar

The prayer makes it very clear that his nature became entirely different after the Abyss plus Fractured Halo says he was "corrupted"

#

Apep got the Abyss and she couldn't evolve to it at all
She was literally fighting for her life against it for millennia and her kids became weird and corrupted looking

#

She describes it as a fate worse than death so yeah

#

What would "the forge of light was quenched" mean otherwise

#

That's cause it was a poison

#

Yes, and to all of dragon kind

#

Like Xiuhcoatl too

#

Xiuhcoatl didn't lose his authority
Xbalanque got it when he killed him

#

They aren't identical in nature as Kuuvahki is not harmful by nature as opposed to The Abyss which is harmful by nature. Albedo had to distort things beyond what they normally are with his ritual. Durin also used his powers there I believe and he's part Abyssal being.

I believe it was probably born alongside Teyvat itself though I guess Nibelung could have made it maybe.

Barely

#

Then maybe he got it back when he was awakened or Phanes could only temporarily leech from it when Xiuhcoatl was imprisoned

#

Xbalanque made a deal with Ronova prior to fighting Xiuhcoatl to get revived when he died

#

Not really, he dedicated most of his efforts to make the Phlogiston Array to do that

#

No Kukulkan says he made the deal with her prior as well

#

Everything would have gone with it
Celestia, Abyss, everything

#

Both or something

#

Because he died when he fought Xiuhcoatl and came back

#

It's only Little One left when we activate it
Not Little One and Ronova, Istaroth, Rhinedottir, and Asmoday

#

He still had it though he was just severely weakened by The Abyss

#

He was using the authority to make the Array

#

The notes mention that the scientists were doing some horrific experiments with the Kuuvahki and whatever the purple ball is was a result of that. So it's a hubris of man type situation there.

Yeah because human crops can't grow in light realm soil. Not because it directly kills you.

Because human crops can't grow in light realm soil.

#

Well then the Phlogiston just consumed everything I guess

#

Xiuhcoatl never had power over death
He was the controller of "light, heat, and wisdom"

#

We don't know if any of the dragons controlled death

#

When

#

Apep no

#

Hydro only

#

Apep just had plants and stuff

#

And Xiuhcoatl created pyro vishaps

#

They all created things

#

If any Sovereign controlled death I imagine it would be the Cryo Sovereign

#

Kukulkan says Xiuhcoatl used the flame to create him and the other Pyro vishaps

#

There were elements they were just really different
The Frostnight Scions only have power from the Primordial Moons and they have elements

#

But they only get powers from the Moons who were made prior to that

#

Idk maybe

#

Their powers shouldn't change though

#

The dragons are still separate from The PO's system
That's why the dragons refer to humans as "star controlled creatures" or whatever

#

Yeah so the Moons and PO's order are still separate
Though Columbina might be a unique case for all we know

#

The boundaries were less defined and clear but there were still differences
That's why Xiuhcoatl controls the Primal Flame while Neuvillette controlled the Primordial Sea

#

Plus she's probably referring to Kuuvahki power there

#

No they were still there

#

She could also be referring to Nibelung's absence

#

They observed Koitar and Seuter's first meeting

#

It was his pure light she sensed the first time
He was the culmination of the seven primordial elements while the Sovereigns were fractions of Teyvat's nature as a whole

#

Yeah they were changed to be more "defined" but they were still around beforehand too.
It's just that beforehand the white light of Kuuvahki was the primary source with which the seven primal elements diverged from. While after The PO the Seven were the only things left

worldly rain
# thick oyster Their powers shouldn't change though

"An elegant elemental life form that possesses immense elemental affinity. The long years have exposed it to high concentrations of Electro, resulting in its present form."

"In still-extant prayers of the far north, it was born from the Frost Moon's blessings, symbolizing the pure source and the first radiance. Perhaps this is why it finds the tainting of its pale purity with the seven colors of heavenly light unbearable, thus rejecting all life that draws too close."

They got tainted basically...

If someone were to write a "Mondstadt Living Guide," Durin's version would probably be very different from the others.
But that doesn't matter. Even if the world looks different in his eyes than in ours, it is still a wonderful place.

He is so cute PepeHands

#

Oooh and his outfit changes unlock after doing his quest

#

Why not Alice or the will of M?

#

That's what I figured when I watched it

#

Wait wasn't M his creator?

#

And I said her will, who knows how strong her will could be as a witch

#

DHe

#

Good job

#

But anyway, I don't know, I just immediately thought of those two when it happened

#

And maybe that's the hope that Lisa was instilling in him?

#

Since she said in mondstadt they have that belief

#

Perhaps there's a lick of truth to it

#

Anyway, I've been awake since 5, I should go get ready for work pain

#

Thanks, I'm exhausted after work yesterday, this is the first time I've been awake this early in almost a year A_WheezeTao

lilac coral
#

more like i've been working 11am-7:30pm almost every day nonstop for almost a year so i was used to waking up at 9:30am to get ready for my shifts and today i'm working 7am-12pm on thanksgiving holiday so i've been awake 4.5 hours earlier than usual LOL

#

every now and again i take up an opening shift, at least this time i was actually exhausted the night before and fell asleep at 9am, albeit i woke up several times, including at 5am when my alarm was set for 6am 😭

shell heart
#

I understood that 12 as noon so 5 hrs (it would otherwise be 17 hrs) it being thanksgiving and all so a free evening

lilac coral
#

No? 😭

#

Sorry I should've added the am and pm

#

I fixed it

#

Usually my shifts last about 8.5 hours

#

Today it's 5

#

And then I gotta go home, get changed, take care of the dog, then hustle my ass across the state to visit family A_WheezeTao

#

The store closes at 3pm today because of the holiday so everyone except for me and one other person are working 8 hours

#

Yeah

#

There were differences between Phlogiston and the Primordial Sea for example, but together they much more readily formed one cohesive whole with Kuuvahki at the top of the "hierarchy" so to speak
That's how I interpret it at least

river valve
#

i dont think there is a hierarchy necessarily

#

phlogiston is more physical and kuuvahki is more energy like and primordial sea is a different thing all together

#

in comparison to kuuvahki its more physical than energy altho i get what you mean

#

both phlogiston and kuuvahki are reffed to as "primordial for of elemental energy" and primordial sea is like life substance imo

#

i mean it says primordail sea is where most life on teyvat originated from

#

also i backread you guys' discussion and isnt it basically confirmed elements didnt exist before PO

#

its just light realm

#

galleries literally says "nibelungs white light got seperated into seven" meaning there were no seperations back than

#

unless you count phlogiston and kuuvahki as "elements"

#

idk

#

i guess what i was trying to say is the concept of "authority over hydro" or "authority over dendro" etc didnt exist back then

#

from my understanding anyways

lilac coral
#

No it's because I told them I couldn't work after noon, so I worked until noon

sly bison
#

There’s also the peculiar interaction with kuuvahki as well

#

Ashikai made some ties with it and the PS& Phlohiston a bit ago too

#

Only if they're a fake human
Neuvi fixed that though

WHY DO PEOPLE ASSUME MAVUIKA KNEW THE NATLAN CAST SINCE BIRTH

NO SHE DIDNT

#

THAT WAS CITLALI

#

Mavuika didn’t know Xilonen at all she just the ancient heros needed to be in the future

#

She didn’t know who would be who

#

And probably only knew the ancient names

lilac coral
#

She probably knew a turkey once

thick oyster
#

Nah

#

The Sneznahyan guy chugged entire bottles of Primordial Sea water and was just fine

#

The Abyss isn't punished

#

It's just like that

#

Yes

#

Seutervoinen says she's seen it devour star systems

lost quail
#

Afterwards?

worldly rain
#

Teyvat is the last planet left of it's star system/world

queen prawn
#

Leek

#

I prefer to use the term world since that's the terminology used in other honkai games
But for genshin specific case they called teyvat world at the edge of spiral arm so I don't know if this spiral arm represent galaxy or something else

#

They didn't specify where in cosmos teyvat exist precisely tbh

#

Just that it's the last one since everything else is pure darkness implying abyss already destroyed other civilizations

queen prawn
#

Galaxy is spiral arm

#

Sorry for bad image quality

#

Galaxy move like a spiral

#

Idk how to say it

#

But I hope you know what I meant

#

Arm part could mean the Honkai(Imaginary?)Tree branch

#

Because tree branch is the tree arm basically

worldly rain
#

Yeah I understand it's galaxy if we go by irl terms

However the thing with hoyo is that they have very different term for "world"
Specifically in honkaiverse (which genshin is part of allegedly) a world can be as small as a planet or as big as entire galaxy which is where the main doubt comes about

queen prawn
#

I see

#

Confusing term

worldly rain
#

Also the branch part implies the timeline while the various leaves on that branch forms the different world
And each world can be as small as planet or as big as galaxy
That's how imaginary tree stuff works

#

So depending on how they go here the spiral arm assuming it follows imaginary tree theory is the timeline and within this timeline the only "leaf" or world that survived abyss is teyvat

brave marten
#

who's the person bottom left

#

wonder why they didn't put Nefer

#

btw I've been wondering lately

#

I only started playing in 2.1 but

#

did people back in 1.0 know about the shades, the PO, the sovereigns and the sinners or did they think the archons were at the top of the hierarchy?

#

did they always think Asmoday was the shade of space or at least one of the shades?

queen prawn
#

i dont remember people mentioning shade

#

but artifact theory was created at some point

worldly rain
brave marten
queen prawn
#

people theorize there is 4 ruler of those power

#

and the reason power is the main guy

brave marten
#

was wondering if that's the first mention of both or if I missed some beforr it

brave marten
#

?

worldly rain
queen prawn
brave marten
brave marten
worldly rain
#

Yeah it didn't explicitly mentioned them

#

But it did gave us hint that celestial gods exist on higher scale besides teyvat arhons

brave marten
#

oh yes that much I understood

#

where tho

queen prawn
#

even if it did,it didnt used PO as his title

brave marten
#

also didn't we know about Naberius since 1.1 or something in Albedo's character story? we just didn't know she's a shade

worldly rain
#

Primordial one or phanes came with before sun and moon before that there wasn't anything explicit at least

worldly rain
#

Maybe there could be some domain design which could be inferred but that's a reach I believe

queen prawn
#

only in 5.7 that we know her name is naberius

brave marten
#

really? 💀

worldly rain
#

Pre release stuff I'm assuming?

brave marten
#

oh that reminds me

worldly rain
#

So retcon

#

Eh it was early days it happens

brave marten
#

you guys know about what Dain said in his drip marketing right?

#

is it me or was Hroptatyr the only one not referenced in it?

#

the green part is probably about him

#

we just don't know it yet

queen prawn
brave marten
queen prawn
#

the green is visionary

brave marten
#

so black is about Hroptatyr?

queen prawn
#

still visionary

brave marten
#

so Hroptatyr is the only one not referenced?

queen prawn
#

he love to talk about future and past so

worldly rain
#

Nothing explicit though as in the actual name wasn't known
It was still just celestia as whole those days

#

Yeah

brave marten
#

feel like the first phrase is talking about Celestia

#

idk about the second tho

queen prawn
worldly rain
#

All came with before sun and the moon
There's a reason this book is called bible of genshin A_WheezeTao
This is where it all started and lore actually set in stone for larger picture

brave marten
#

ok yea that makes more sense

queen prawn
#

it sound like a start of a book,introduction

brave marten
queen prawn
#

u guys talking ima focus on eatingC_TaoHehe

worldly rain
#

Don't need to it's only istaroth and she was teased even before in 1.0 but I don't think anyone could know that she was part of shades
As in shades as a group didn't exist in those days before the book released

brave marten
#

deadass is there anything about Hroptatyr post cataclysm?

worldly rain
#

Not yet I reckon

#

Probably will come with Sheznaya

brave marten
#

he seems interesting considering he opposes Reason

brave marten
queen prawn
worldly rain
brave marten
#

wtf

brave marten
#

but I imagine we're getting some lore about him in Snezhnaya
