This is for all the heart ache you’ve caused to my fellow A mancers 😤😤

so one of the texts on genshin loading screen says “paimon - best friend!” or smth

you know who else calls themselves “your best friend” and turns out to be watching you very closely?

Ok so I always wondered if Sky Kids need to breathe but now that that is kinda confirmed by Season of Abyss I suddenly realize why it makes sense: Fire needs oxygen to burn!

So maybe they need oxygen to keep their inner flame alive!

rundown of genshin lore theory-holes im roaming around:

- the Traveler twins are Literally Stars. Real stars, not like the fake irmunsul fruit ones in Teyvat. this is why they are so responsive to people’s wishes and are able to hear the wishes of inanimate/long dead things (the frostbearing tree, kapatcir’s pinion, the weapons made from Durin’s remains, that whole thing that happens at the end of inazuma with the Visions). “wish upon a shooting star” and all that.

- Paimon is related to the Seelie court in some way, possibly the last “living” seelie as they were destroyed by Celestia long ago. the seelies were known as a technologically advanced society that loved to guide and educate others, but they earned the ire of the Celestia gods and were wiped out, leaving only wisps. Paimon may be a Seelie that “ascended” and is being kept in servitude of Celestia, similar to vision-bearers like Venessa. that is, up until she somehow wound up in the ocean…

- the Primordial Human project is an attempt by Gold/Rhinedottir to make human life that is completely removed from the influence of Celestia and any gods of Teyvat. Khaenri’ah was a nation with no gods, and such a goal suits them. paired with new info from enkanomiya, this is seeming more and more likely, as there used to be a Primordial god, but the knowledge of it is forbidden. Albedo is one step towards this but, like his namesake in the alchemical process, he is just one of several stages done in preparation for it.

- Alice, Klee’s mother, may have been in or come from enkanomiya. one of the new records documents important figures’ names and how they were translated to fit the inazuman dialect (from greek to japanese). among them is Eris to Arisu. Eris, aka the goddess of discord. Arisu uses the same japanese characters for the spelling of the name Alice. Eris is most popularly known for her use of a Golden Apple to incite jealousy and chaos. Alice prepared an entire Golden Apple Archipelago adventure for her daughter…

- Teyvat’s landmasses have been destroyed and remade several times over, at least twice. many items and artifacts have stories that state that the world used to just be an ice sheet and easily could become one again. there is also a reoccurring theme of entire civilizations, sol vindagnyr, the seelie court, khaenri’ah, being destroyed by Celestia once they have gotten too close to some hidden Truth. the blind pursuit of knowledge into self-destruction is also reoccurring, the tiara sets tell of a people who had individuals that would sacrifice themselves in order to just glimpse the “truth”. the Traveler has been told by their twin that, should they learn the “truth of this world”, they too will seek its destruction…

- Teyvat is a huge tree. like, the entire world is a tree. this isn’t a groundbreaking or recent theory either, it just kind of matches a lot of info we’ve been given in game so far. the sky being the canopy of a great tree would explain scaramouche’s infamous: “The stars… The sky… It’s all a gigantic hoax. A lie.” my added take: the tree is sick and this is bad news for everyone. most of the irmunsul trees you find are petrified and/or suffering from leyline disorders.

- Dragons came before all other life on Teyvat somehow. they are intelligent and possibly have an entire plane of their own that exists parallel to that of the humans. i do not know what to do with this information just yet but holy shit dragons.

A historical moment

[hopeful-mothwings]

On the 21st of December, 2021, at 21:21 Italian time, I published this post.

[milkhoney531]

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but I think the Krill attack EVERYTHING that moves.

The first time we see one, it attacks a manta. Then we discover it attacks us as well.

But I think they also attack the crabs. Evidence of this can be safely found from the Crab Spit in the Graveyard.

You can see the crabs stop moving and duck when a Krill gets near. Everytime. They dont move around the Krill.

I think the crabs evolved to look like rocks because of the krill. They chose to hide while skykid chose to flee or gather repellent spells.

Maybe that's why the crabs hit us when we get too close to them? We are bright, loud, and attract attention. Exactly what something in hiding would not want to be around.

[skykids]

good point, but we know that it is impossible to stop moving when the krill shines on you and be ignored by it. the only way to not be attacked by a krill is to remain unseen, not unmoving.

or an alternative - once again beta spoilers -

say skykids dont breathe. they can perpetually explore underwater, but the light regeneration is different. it’s constant in twilight zone but gets slower farther down, until you cannot regenerate at all (by yourself, that is; holding hands always helps). but without boosting or consuming your winged light + being smarter and more careful with predatory species esp those with light bait, you can theoretically explore every corner of abyss zone and the trenches.

im personally disappointed with the “limited oxygen” mechanism now so that’s where my canon diverges with sky’s. apparently light has a limited reach in the water, so in the deepest deeps it is literally lights out. but it’s still bright at the top layer, just gets darker the farther and downer you go.

so i’m going to base the sky world heavily on light. as long as skykids have light they can breathe and have no asphyxiation problem (and i doubt whether lungs, oxygen, carbon dioxide even apply in this world), so they can swim as long as they like on sunlight to twilight zone. but in the lower twilight zone or whatever point abyss zone at which there is still light, though significantly dimmed out, it’d feel like buried inside a quilt for too long; they can still swim but it’s uncomfortable. then under the abyss zone there is no light to breathe in, but you can go with a friend to sustain light or get the season’s ult.

[skykids]

it’s kind of funny that chinese fanbase (as long as i’ve seen) don’t care that skykids are canonically children and draw them as adults, some in a self-insert way, and impose romantic tropes on them

this is funnier considering jenova chen is in touch with them too, as i’ve seen chinese memes involving his face.

And finally we have the first proper Elder design and the first Electro character in this series! I wanted to stay true to the black and white theme the Elders have while still letting Ei keep some of her elemental color. I’ll be doing the same thing for the rest of the Archons granted none of them are pretending to be human like Venti and Zhongli.

Explaining homestuck isn't hard and doesn't take ten thousand paragraphs to do y'all just don't know how to summarize things.

[flagellant]

Homestuck is a webcomic where there is a multiplayer video game called Sburb which is a standard component of reality itself. Sburb, when played, destroys your original universe and transports you to a liminal place called a Land where the goal is to create a new universe and reality. Because all the realities are made by previous players of the video game, there's a large cast that follows multiple timelines/realities. Because all of this is also a video game, there are some bugs/hacks/glitches. Much of the later plot of Homestuck revolves around trying to glitch reality in a way to kill an unkillable glitched final boss to save and fix the timelines/realities which were all glitched to being unplayable/unwinnable because of it. There are a variety of mediums in which the story is told and the guy from Undertale did a lot of the music for it.
