hear me out chat (hsr elio theory)

I would like everyone to hear me out on my wonderful, totally accurate and not based in crack, copium or any other drug theory. (You will need basic knowledge on what the Honkai is and Welt’s background (though I explain a bit))

It sounds stupid on the surface, but entertain me for a moment. 

We are aware that in Honkai Star Rail there are many parallel characters to Honkai 3rd’s- as it is a parallel universe. So it began with a question- where is Welt’s parallel? Not only Welt Yang, but what about Welt Joyce? (If you don’t know who this is please look it up I’m lazy but basically Mr Yang took his name and identity and may or may not be a little obsessed. You will need to know about him for this to make sense.)

We know very little about Elio, aside from the fact he’s the “scriptwriter”, known as “destiny’s slave” and may or may not be a cat or at least use it as some proxy. There’s other theories, like he’s the aeon of finality and so on, but I’m not including those here.

The most basic connection I can possibly make is that Elio is possibly a name originating from Alias, otherwise could be spelt as Elias. Alias being an alternate name- which makes sense. The original basis of this theory came from me asking where alternate Welt is, and stupidly making a connection between this fact about the name and Welt’s father, whose name was Elias, went by several names, and was government spy (its complicated).

It’s entirely possible to turn this the other direction and say Elio is Elias’ parallel instead, but there’s more. 

I note that Welt Yang’s entire story is about being a slave to his name. He inherited Welt Joyce’s name, his power, his will, and he says himself that he died that day to become Welt (It’s in a manga panel somewhere maybe I’ll attach it later). Even after the war is over, he’s in a new goddamn dimension- he’s not fighting the Honkai anymore, he can start anew as himself again (still fighting, but not Welt anymore)- but he doesn’t. He could’ve given his name to Himeko, but instead he chose to continue being Welt.

(Kind of related but I’m not sure what it adds to the theory but in all the fake out endings where it’s presumably written by Elio, Welt’s real name gets doxxed in full)

“Destiny’s Slave” is such a vague (and menacing) title- is Elio a slave to his ability to seemingly predict the future? Is he a slave to something else- like a will passed down or imposed upon him?

(Additional notes include Elio being a “scriptwriter”. We know Welt Yang is an animator, writer and artist- it wouldn’t be too far a stretch to make a connection here right im not coping)

There are obvious parallels between Stellarons and the Honkai as well. And of course, Elio is a part of the Stellaron Hunters, collecting Stellarons and guiding the organization with his predictions. Welt was the leader of Anti-Entropy in his universe, an organization dedicated to stopping (fighting back and hopefully containing) the Honkai- all of which coming about because this was what Joyce wanted. And Welt would lead not just as a powerhouse as a Herrscher, but also in planning and guiding his group in winning fights that cannot be won with brute force.

While the parallels between Honkai 3 and Star Rail’s character’s aren’t identical, I note that many relationships seem to be the same, (Bronya and Seele are lesbians, Cocolia is a bitch towards Bronya, Raiden misses Kiana) and personalities are similar (though changed by the circumstances they live in).

(Bronya is Welt’s (kinda basically) adoptive daughter, and Silver Wolf is part of the Stellaron Hunters and the one who often recieves Elio's scripts..)

Elias and Welt Joyce die in Honkai 3. Upon his death, Joyce gives Welt his name and his powers.

Consider in this parallel, whatever Joyce is in this universe (if he exists at all), when he dies (or other incident), he gives Welt that power of foresight instead of the Core of Reason (as herrschers do not exist). And maybe, Welt would use his father’s name as his alias- because he’s a sucker for carrying names and wills. 

He wishes to stop the Stellarons- the will passed down to him from Joyce that he now feels obliged to dedicate his life to stopping it in any way he can, done so through his newfound power to write the future in the form of his beloved animation storyboards and scripts.

(Complete stretch but Elio sends Silver Wolf the scripts and she’s a parallel of Bronya who is Welt’s adoptive daughter in 3rd)

This will probably not be canon but let me hopeium (Also where is parallel Welt though, he’s either an NPC or a major character there’s no inbetween)

(March 22) Fashion Friday 3: Kaveh

“Each step taken is delicate, yet as precise as a petal’s fall. Even the sands still for the wandering flower’s grace”

Introducing a Kaveh outfit to match with the Alhaitham one, [Dancing Petals on Still Dunes]. He deserves outfits too- given his default looks annoying to wear at home with all those trinkets.

(March 18) Generic kiss

more haikaveh kissing we can never have enough of it

(March 13) 100 Followers!

I didn’t think it’d happen but here we are. Thank you for 100 followers everyone! I know like 90% of you are here because of my Haikaveh fusion so here’s a higher quality piece of them to enjoy

(March 8) Billowing Sands of Reflection

“The fabric is woven as how the sands billow through desert winds”

Another outfit design, today for Alhaitham. I wanted to give him something more convenient to wear because I can’t imagine his current fit is easy to put on nor comfy for relaxation…

(March 8) Haikaveh Stickers

I wanted to try making genshin styled stickers so I did it with Haikaveh since people seemed to like them

(would people be interested in custom emote commissions)

[siqeml]

haikaveh fusion dance when??? /j

nono this is a good question

i wasn't sure if you meant DBZ or SU version but since I did DBZ on the original heres these idiots dancing (and falling because alhaitham is heavy)

(March 6) MY HAND SLIPPED

I was drawing Kaveh and I zoned out and autopilot tried to make him Alhaitham. And then it kept going.

So now I present Haikaveh, the worst idea I’ve had yet

(March 4) Comfort

Alhaitham feels emotions too. Just a random sketch with some lazy coloring slapped on it

(March 1) Darkest Moonlight

Diluc wasn’t the only one to receive a custom outfit from Crepus Ragnvindr.

I wanted to design Kaeya another outfit because I could. I just think the characters should get more fits in general honestly- I have a ton of designs backlogged so maybe I’ll make a series of new character outfits?

(February 4) Eyes

It’s not the 4th when I’m posting this but I drew a sketch and forgot about them so here they are

My collection of oddly specific gifs: Kaveh mid sentence pausing to look down at Alhaitham's chest

(February 16) Kavetham Wedding

Drew something in the style of those acrylic stands (I do not have the funding to make any physical ones)

(January 30) Mad Scholar Alhaitham

Fun angst AU for you guys- he didn’t fake it, he went insane for the sake of the plan. Poor Kaveh gets home to find out not only has the government been toppled, but Alhaitham’s mind has been lost.
