self aware hsr au but its the aeons.... THEY sense how many characters of a path you use and get ecstatic in THEIR own way.... maybe THEY even use their powers to give you buffs even outside simulated/divergent universe..... oh, you use destruction in a full team? huh, your characters somehow gets more damage in cost of hp, you've never read this in the guides! maybe its a hidden synergy! running full HARMony??? suddenly your buffs are higher and clearing out moc like flies! the unplayable path aeons are definitely compensating by attracting you via their lore and stories and the characters whose lore is tied to them, some exclusive for your eyes <3
inspired by elation coming out, imagine aha cackling as THEY leave unplayable path aeon room behind! so long suckers!!
also could be self aware characters too, like imagine phainon being pissed that nanook is interested in you lmfao
It's really funny that the Aeons really do not care what you feel about them. They exist, they are the pinnacle of the concepts associated with their Paths and they will influence your life regardless of your stance.
Oh, you don't like the philosophy of Elation and decided to form a faction that defies its notion? Unfortunately for you, Aha thinks you're funny, so you're under them anyway.
Oh, your faith resides outside of the Aeon system? No one cares, now wield the power of Preservation in the name of the Amber Lord.
Oh, you think Lan's arrows are disasters that should be avoided at all costs? Fret not, just take the blessing of the Hunt and go kill those abominations yourself.
i like that most of the aeons aren't entirely good. if they aren't outright horrible by ordinary morals, they're at least flawed
SO LET ME GO IN DEPTH ON WHY THE AEONS ARE FUCKED (sort of) (also i won't go into inactive aeons or ones we don't know enough about)
aha — joy and mirth in life is undeniably important in life, but the elation takes it to an extreme, completely disregarding anyone else. it is hedonism and egoism, causing chaos for the sake of causing chaos, hoping for the results to be amusing, while remaining uncaring of other people's feelings and well-being
fuli — i suppose in this case the remembrance is more neutral (though im not that well read-up on it), but their followers are worse. on one hand, archiving and preserving memories is good work, but on the other, stealing and deceiving to acquire those memories certainly isn't appreciated by anyone outside the garden of recollection
ix — nihilism is quite a self-destructive ideology, really. the mortal spirit and determination is a powerful thing, however, the nihility completely stomps it out, technically not even intentionally
lan — despite eradicating evil being an objectively noble cause, the hunt spares no thought for the countless innocent lives that were lost due to collateral damage. they slayed their own devoted warriors, too focused on their target to care about their devout worshippers. the hunt claims to be righteous, yet are they any better than their enemies if the amount of their victims is just as high as the other side's? under that thin veil of upholding justice, they are vindictive and callous. (can you tell i hate lan)
nanook — well... i don't think i have to explain why the destruction is Not Good, right? wishing for the complete annihilation of the universe isn't exactly a benevolent goal
nous — the erudition searches for knowledge just for the sake of knowledge, not for the sake of the people. what good does research make if its done for self-absorbed reasons, if all empathy and humanity is lost in the process?
qlipoth — most of my gripes with the preservation are with the ipc, if anything. and the ipc might... not even be of the same path anymore (seen a few theories about the ipc following voracity or propagation). honestly the preservation just build Wall.
xipe — though we've "worked" with the harmony, it is still suspicious. there are clearly still so many issues with the family, and they are not as ideal as they pretend to be. we are yet to learn more, but utopias are never what they seem
yaoshi — the abundance may seem benevolent, and they are, indeed, generous. yet, at the end of the day, their gifts are faustian bargains. mortals trade off more than they can afford to give for the blessings provided by the abundance, because no mortal mind is built for immortality
i've had these thoughts for a while i just never put them into anything longer than funny one-liners in my head
I hate when people misgender Aeons. I know that Tumblr actually doesn't do it for the most part, but I've seen it on every other platform and I'm tired of this.
I myself don't really care for genders, it's whatever but I can't say it wasn't exciting then hsr told us that aeons use they/them. It's so refreshing to see genderless cosmic entity for once.
Like, what do you mean you see the concept of destruction and just decide on calling THEM a he??? You just look at eldritch abomination, skip over the whole decaying, endlessly bleeding, with limbs cut off the body and just decide THEY are a he?
A bunch of masks and the suspicious shadow behind is suddenly aquired a gender?
Or you just look at a living, sentient unimaginable huge rock that is capable of building and just... call THEM by masculine pronouns.
Or a cannibalistic (not really but shh) being made out of puzzle pieces that are actually parts of other things that harmonize together, forever more. Sure sounds like a woman to me.
Oh, but Deer! Some people speak a different language— that is not an excuse to not learn the right pronoun for a specific being. If you can get names, places, entire pieces of fics ect. in English, you sure can use they/them. Speaking different languages is not an excuse to spread misinformation everywhere else.
But other languages have special pronouns for deities! You're in the English part of the fandom, again use the right terms that are cannon. It's not hard to use they/them in 2025. If you refuse, use the original ones from the language that is also not that hard.
But Aeons don't care! I care because I want characters that actually use gender neutral pronouns in hsr. I want to feel cool because Lan has it too.
I need more fics with the right pronoun being used for every aeons. Let me be happy to have cosmic horror that uses the same ones as me. Let me hold Nanook's tit and have the writer use they/them for THEM.
HELLOOO!!! i mightve been prepareing to send this request for a while... but what if Aeons chatting with archons?? Like zhongli and qlipoth, lan with ei, ect... If thats okay ofc! ＼（´♡｀）／
