I've been wandering. You know, there is this song called Rotten Girl. I was listening, and I... I thought.
I had an Idea, I mean... hmmm. Y'all know there are fanfics about IRL people and all that, and/or movie characters and shit.
Hear me out, what IF in HSR universe there is this girl... boy... person... Elder, dunno, writing Aeon x Aeon manhwas/mangas/novels 📸👁
Hear me out!! I've been thinking. Like, imagine if this person feels bad for shipping Aha x IX, for example (heck, the monsterfucker of this universe.) But at the ends ended up accepting that's what they like.
"Oh... I kinda like Qlipoth x Nanook :( but I can't stop reading it..."
And there is this whole community-- not the ones that admire them for what they are, but the ones that ships them with one another. Lmao.
Imagine the self-inserts there.
Or, or they have an Au. You know, like the ones we as a community sometimes do like Modern!AU.
Imagine one of their most popular is "Coffe!Au" like in this world. University!Au, perhaps.
University! AU (Aeon ver.)
(while thinking, I've decided I wanted to be part of my fictional world of people of Aeon-fandom inside hsr world)
Nanook
Nanook is the delinquent one, I bet. Don't go to classes often. Professors mostly ignore him. His face is a constant 😑 and barely talks. Hates Tayzzyronth, hates Yaoshi, hates Xipe... Hell, he even hates the plant he sees every day.
Aha thinks he is trying to be a "I'm so unique and emo" and will make fun of Nanook. Aha ain't scared of anything.
Aha
Aha would be the Clown. Will laugh at anything, will destroy anything on a whim. Not even children are safe, so keep them far away.
Might help you, but be careful, Aha is a double-edged sword. As much as Aha can help, can also make your life a living hell just because it's fun (no one knows why)
Mythus
Mythus is the quiet guy who not so secretly loves demonology. Has a one-sided beef with Nous, Nous couldn't care less. If you want to understand something, please, don't go to this one, Mythus will make EVERYTHING more difficult to understand, and you might will fail.
Xipe
Xipe is the one that resolves conflict in the most peaceful way. Always smiling, maybe Ms. Perfect and can do no wrong 🤺 unlike certain delinquent.
Might be part of the council and is the one everyone goes to since she is the most kind-looking. I mean, look at Xipe. That's totally a face that says: "You can trust me 😌" Some might think it's the opposite, but Xipe is being truthful, trust! Or would you rather go to Ena...?
Ena
Ena is the control-freak, the student council president(and elder sibling of Xipe ig). Everything must go as perfectly as possible. Some people might fold under Ena's near-impossible expectations.
Please, someone tell Ena that humans aren't meant to be perfect dolls. Alas, if you were to ask for Ena's help, you will surely get +A. A 1000%. The cost might be your sanity... but for those grades... will you do it?
Qlipoth
Qlipoth is also part of the council, does not engage in other people's affairs as Ena or Xipe do, but is doing something.
Qlipoth is the mechanic one, ya know, the one that fixes everything. The chair broke? Qlipoth can fix it! Aha destroyed another wall? It's ok! Qlipoth will fix it, so Ena, please let go of Aha's neck. Will help fix things, but don't expect the most talkative person....
Nous
Nous is, of course, the one that says "Uhm, actually 🤓" maybe more like.... "Actually ●_●" because I can't view Nous being expressive at all, lol.
Surprisingly, not part of the council.. might be an unofficial one, though. Can't be bothered with all that trouble when that time can be spent learning new things. Nous IS the smartest around. Better grades than Ena.... Like Qlipoth, not talkative. If you are smart enough, maybe will help you with any subject.
Hooh
Hooh.... HMMMM I guess Hooh is like Ena, but less controlling, more like from the shadows rather than direct approach. Making sure things go smoothly..... maybe make them twins (if you know, you know 😤). Hooh is part of the council, but very few people know this. Prefers the low-key approach.
I do think Hooh is close to Ena, since they both are kinda similar.
Tayzzyronth
Tayzzyronth... the one everyone has beef with, lmao. Tayzzyronth does NOT get along with Oroboros, and hates to be alone. Maybe gets along sometimes with Aha, but Aha is Aha, so it's a 50/50.
If you were to ask for Tayzzyronth help... will help, in fact, Tay will LOVE to be asked for help... even if not the smarter cookie out there... both of you can learn together.
Be aware that this is the guy that hates loneliness... if you ended up with a bug that will never leave you alone on campus just because you tried to be nice (or Tay was your last option)... that's on you. Aha will make fun of you.
Oroboros
Oroboros and Qlipoth don't get along at all, either. They hate each other. Oroboros.... Maybe Oroboros would be one who's a sadistic with an insatiable appetite.
People won't dare ask for Oroboros' help, in fear that they will be eaten... since that's a current joke that no longer seemed like a joke after people saw a whole scarab getting eaten in front of the uni's doors in daylight.
Yaoshi
Yaoshi? Yaoshi loves everyone (not everyone loves Yaoshi, tho 😞). Yeah, even you, Lan! Maybe the one that stays in the nursery the most. Not as a patient, but to help the injured.
Will help with anything since Yaoshi simply loves everyone... might be one of the few who genuinely likes Tayzzyronth.
Lan
Lan... he is in the running club or the archery club. I can see Lan loving both of them... since Lan moves a lot, I would say... why not be in both. Will refuse to go to the infirmary. Hates to even BREATH the same air as Yaoshi. Would probably hate Tayzzyronth as well.
Lan is a righteous person... so Nanook is someone Lan dislikes, as well. Can help with studies, but keep in mind that there are better options... Lan's for the streets.
Akivili
Akivili! Aha's best friend! Or so Aha says. The one that loves exploring. Akivili is every weekend in some new place. Some people wonder where Akivili gets the time to go to university AND go to new cities. The fack? Teach us your ways.
One of the most social ones! Aha sometimes tags along just because, tbh, just a chill guy. Maybe THIS is the one for the streets.
Does Akivili likes Aha? No one knows, but they are close... so maybe? Or maybe, like most of us, got tired of Aha, and applied the Aha rule: do not show Annoyance or else Aha will get ya.
If you were to need help, Akivili will help! Worry not! History might be Akivili's best class, though.
Ix
Ix..... uhh... Ix is Ix... if you thought Mythus was weird, just wait until you see Ix. Everyone gets depressed by being around. Everything is meaningless. Do not ask for Ix help. Why bother if, in the end, there is nothing?
Idrila
Wow, what a beauty.... the most beautiful person in this whole place. Everyone's looking Idrila's way.
Idrila thinks that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and maybe as much as a beauty Idrila is, she can also see the beauty in everything... even in that ugly hole that Qlipoth is still trying to fix, but for some reason, it's never fixed... I wonder why.
Oh, have you seen how Lan uses the bow? BEAUTIFUL! Mythus is being weird with Nous again, writing something on a book... surely that's some beautiful friendship right there!
Long
A philosophical guy, often asking the meaning of life, you know, like those who sings poems in the middle of a conversation... but actually seems like that's how Long speaks. Maybe we are too low born to achieve that level of sophistication.
Likes to travel to different parts of the world to understand how different cultures view the meaning of life. One can only understand it when all points of view are seen.
Could sometimes go with Akivili and travel together, less about exploring the unknown, and more for a philosophical approach, but even Long can take pleasure learning more about new cultures...after all, that's their way of living.
Maybe a chill guy, too. Maybe temperamental when younger, but now is more relaxed.
Fuli ( I totally didn't forget, nor was I wondering which Aeon was missing)
Photography! Movie! Anything related to preserve the past. Does not interact with people outside of the club. Takes care of those inside it, though! I could totally see Fuli as the one that takes all the pictures/videos of official events.
Ask for help if you feel brave! Smart, even if it does not look like it! Fuli does have a photographic memory, so remembering what goes around is not that difficult. Will take pictures without consent, though! Memories are meant to be kept, and how would you remember such banal occasion if there is nothing to prove it occurred?
If you go to where all these Obsessed people with memories reside... you'll see a book with photos.
Huh... Oroboros eating an insect... you were certain no one even thought of taking a picture when that happened, it was... too ...unique to react on time.
Why is there a photo of Nanook outside of campus near a lake....?? Wait, how does Fuli know where Akivili was yesterday???
In conclusion... don't be too kind to Tayzzyronth, nor indulge too much in Aha... don't ask Ena for help, Ix is not worth your energy.
Long is a chill guy, Xipe and Idrila are cool. Lan can't stay in one place, nor can Akivili. Hooh is a mystery, Mythus tries with all its might to be as mysterious as Hooh... Nous is OK if you want help studying, not emotional help... Nanook is being Nanook.
Yaoshi loves YOU and your cow. Oroboros will eat you if you dare to sleep while in its presence. Qlipoth just loves to swing the hammer.
I like thinking about crossovers so this has bothered me for a long time, I cannot wrap my head around how the Imaginary Tree works in the hoyoverse. I understand the general concept, but I guess something with how its "leaves" are described just does not click for me, so I have helpfully drawn a shitty infographic of what I am confused about
Is it A
Or B?
How space travel works and how planets are positioned in the "universe" is very different between the two scenarios. For example, A would suggest that all space travel inherently traverses the Imaginary Tree, and that Qlipoth's wall surrounds multiple "leaves", if not the whole branch. In B, it is only protecting one "leaf". The answer could also effect the explanation of how Welt Yang ended up in the HSR universe
I lean towards explanation B, but there are arguably counters for both explanations, so I'm not sure if that's english mistranslation issues or multiple writing teams accidentally contradicting each other. Plz someone explain gacha game metaphysics to me 🙏
Venti — The Remembrance; he took his best friend's form, is a bard who remembers and tells the stories of others so they aren't forgotten, Fuli coded behaviour, clearly has some whacky shit going on with him i.e his voice lines about meeting the traveler.
Zhongli — The Equilibrium; only ever makes fair contracts, a very mysterious man who also seems to know more than he lets on, a background deus ex machine of sorts i.e the chasm interlude quest when he saved Xiao, influencing things just as HooH does.
Ei — The Hunt; So deadset on achieving eternity for her people, caused bad things with the sakoku and vision hunt decrees, as Lan brings both destruction and salvation, a very fierce and powerful warrior.
Nahida — The Erudition/The Abundance; god of wisdom who is the face of a literal tree of knowledge, duh. Rukkhadevata snapping the purest branch of the tree to create her gives heavy Yaoshi vibes a-la Tomie.
Furina — The Preservation; girl kept acting for five hundred years and never once wavered as said by mirror-her, tenacity that would make Qlipoth proud. Their ideal for justice being the continuation of existence, sacrificing both her humanity and divinity for her people. It's plain simple.
Mavuika — The Destruction/Harmony; Initially, war. But knowing Hoyoverse plus the dropped Natlan Teaser, they're probably gonna take her and her nation's themes in the way they did with Penacony's Harmony vs Order subplot. (And from the first two Natlan Archon Quests, I was kinda right.)
The Tsaritsa — The Nihility/Finality(?); Still not 100% because we still don't know her story, probably more attuned to the destruction due to her and the Fatui's goals and actions and "burning away the old world". But I can see her as a Self-Anihilator like Acheron or the Stellaron Hunters.
