#Murata

[haunted-xander]

Since people seem to really like my vision requirements illustrations, I figured I could elaborate on my theories/headcanons!

(EDIT: Since people keep mentioning it in the tags of the illust. post, so just to be clear, I am well aware Archons don't hand out visions personally😅 it IS however heavily implied they have a subconcious effect on who gets one, even if they have no active say. It's why no electro visions where granted during Inazumas vision hunt decree, for example)

Anemo: Purpose.

Anemo users have been unsure or hesitant about how to live their lives or what to do at some point, but all ended up finding something to strive for. Venti found purpose in rebuilding Mondstadt after Decarabian fell, to make the nation a place that the nameless bard would've loved to live in.

Jean found purpose as the Dandelion Knight, Xiao found purpose in serving Morax, Wanderer found purpose in freedom etc. Everyone has something they find fullfilment in.

Geo: Determination.

Geo users have a set path and/or ideal they live by, something they will not budge on no matter what. Zhongli is solid on his contracts, the written word is law and cannot be allowed to go broken, regardless of circumstances. His path is one of mutual agreement and fairness, to ensure everyone and everything gets their due.

Ningguang walks the path of Liyue's pillar, Noelle walks the path of self-improvement, Itto walk the path of acceptance etc. They are determined in their ways and will not bend them.

Electro: Protection.

Electro users all have something/someone they hold dear, and will do anything to ensure it's safety and longevity. Ei loved her sister more than anything else, and would've done anything to keep her safe and alive. Her actions in Inazuma was her terribly misguided way of "protecting" it from erosion, to keep the nation her sister loved so much in prosperity in her place.

Sara wants to protect her people, Keqing wants to protect Liyue's prosperity, Fischl wants to protect her imagination and fantasies etc. They hold things close to their heart and will do anything to protect it.

Dendro: Understanding.

Dendro users are seekers of knowledge and wisdom, wishing to understand the world around them and all that lives in it. Nahida wants to understand people, for wisdom means nothing when it can't be put to practice. People aren't something that can easily be comprehended by textbook knowledge, they must be observed extensively first-hand to even begin to understand.

Baizhu wants to understand the secrets of immortality, Kirara wants to understand human society, Collei wants to understand how to help others etc. They earnestly search for ways to expand their world.

Hydro: Duty.

Hydro users tend to have a strong sense of responsibility and personal principles they live by. We don't know enough about Furina to say for sure what her deal is right now, but I speculate her duty is closely connected to the Heavenly Principles, and that she views herself as Celestia's "executioner" so to speak.

Ayato's duty is to the yashiro commision, Candace's duty is to the desert-dwellers, Childe's duty is to the Tsaritsa etc. They have solid loyalties and set principles they work by.

Pyro: Passion.

Pyro users are full of love and passion for what they do, dedicating themselves whole-heartedly to their chosen field. We know very little about Murata, so it's hard to say what she's like. As the God of War I assume she has a passion for battle? Who knows.

Yoimiya is passionate about fireworks, Bennett is passionate about adventuring, Diluc is passionate about defending Mondstadt etc. They have a profound love of life and what is in it.

Cryo: Contradiction.

Cryo users are at odds with themselves, rife with inner conflicts and clashing desires. The Tsaritsa is described as an archon with no love for her people, and has been noted to have grown cold post-cataclysm. Her harbingers, most notably Childe, say otherwise, though. She's not unloving, but she is disillusioned and vengeful. Her hatred for Teyvat and Celestia is at odds with her love of her people.

Rosaria is conflicted with her lifestyle(s), Ayaka is conflicted with her status and wants, Kaeya is conflicted with his loyalties etc. They are torn by irreconcilable opposites.

edit: hey you can see the speedpaint for this in my video talking about natlan and samsaras !!

also consider supporting me on patreon where im posting wips for a furina pmv:3

[sleepyorchidmonster]

What if Celestia calls all of the archons to fight the Abyss in the endgame, but also brings Furina along?

I know the title and throne of the Hydro Archon is no more, so this would be more akin to a punishment for Focalors's treason, like "Did you really think you would get away with this?"

Nobody is amused.

The archons make the executive decision to protect Furina (that is literally human and shouldn't even BE in the Abyss). She uses her vision to support and heal, but stays near Venti, Nahida and the other ranged fighters, protected by Zhongli's shield.

Neuvillette's hatred for the Heavenly Principles increases. Fontaine is also very mad.

demon design ideas

[burningparadiseduck]

There’s a misconception that Venti and Zhongli are the only original archons and that is technically untrue.

Ei ruled jointly with her twin sister so she was the archon from the beginning. Only the public didn’t know about both of them existing.

Rukkhadevata created Nahida but the timeline was completely changed by the Irminsul so now she never existed so that makes Nahida the original ruler of sumeru.

That rule only applies to Fontaine since Egeria, being the original hydro archon, is actually dead.

[villain-byteniwoha]

something I'm genuinely so fucking excited about, when we finally get to the end of genshin impact, is the archon content, both official and fan made, that we'll get. it's always so neat to me to collect these wildly different characters and have them be in the same room, or better yet in the same group, to interact. like, we've seen zhongli and venti canonically sit in the same table and banter. give me furina and venti cackling, give me tension between ei and nahida, give me zhongli asking about neuvillette. there's so much more potential with murata and the tsaritsa still locked. give me a crack energy archon shenanigans.

[rants-about-opm]

Do not wait to riot. Do not wait until Bisan is dead, do not wait until another 60 year old has a plate sized piece of shrapnel flung into him, Do not wait until another child has their head crushed under a tank, RIOT RIOT RIOT

THERE IS NO RIGHT TIME COMING, THE RIGHT TIME IS YEARS BEHIND US, AND THE NEXT BEST THING IS NOW

[syre-stane16]

DOES THE PYRO VISON HOLDERES DESERVE THEIR ELEMENT?

PYRO

Ye, so Pyro is associated with war in Genshin. Why? Wecause war ravages the land and it kills everything its touches. A heavily destructive force, the element is also related with bad temperaments and rage.

Pyro's positive qualities is its warmth, light and energy.

It can be used to represent love, courage, strength and passion perhaps even ambition.

Now, I am bad at explaining the way I feel a character would represent the love aspect. But basically big positive feelings towards a select few or the entire world. You get me?

Let's begin.

AMBER

Amber is a warm and friendly character but so is most of the cast, so I won't call it out unless a character's warmth is significant enough to do so.

She's energetic, passionate and courageous.

KLEE

BOMB

Also, she a very energetic and passionate child. Klee is also considered the strongest of the knights of Favonius. Also the destruction aspect.

LIGHT

WARM,FUZZY SWEETHEART.

Guys she would love so hard oh my gods. Family, friends, random strangers. It's hard not to adore her and she just loves. I feel so upset about characters that love, like why do we deserve you. Why do we deserve your love. We are horrible, HORRIBLE people.

DILUC

His vision burned out after Crepus died. To compensate for this, Diluc used his father's delusion whilst he hunted down the Fatui. That man went on a rampage and he was exiled from Snezhnaya. So.. rage and destruction.

There's also the case that he lashed out at Kaeya and attacked his brother when he told Diluc about his connections to the Abyss Order allowing Kaeya to gain his vision.

Diluc's vision was rekindled of course, but it was interesting that his passion died the night his father did. The man still holds his dedication to justice.

Power.

Courage.

Also, he and Kaeya have a fire/ice kinda deal going on. I think Diluc and Kaeya deserve to get more story quests, like there is so much more we need to know about those two.

I can't really tell anywhere from the game, the comic or anything about what his relationship with Kaeya used to be, and how badly it broke. I feel that they both want to rekindle their relationship but aren't sure if the other wants to.

Even then, I feel like Diluc also falls int the love aspect. He got banned from a REGION because of what he did after they took his father away from him. His relationship with Kaeya is messy but you KNOW that man has a LOT of feelings.

And that may just be why I think he works with the love factor. His actions gives us an idea of how large and heavy his emotions are , you guys get me, right?

XIANGLING

Let's be honest, her dedication to the art of cooking already explains it. Also she's a chef.

XINYAN

Passionate of course, she's really friendly as well and she has a fiery personality.

Courage in a way. Imagine going onto a stage time and tome again and despite your audience constantly throwing tomatoes at you, you keep coming back to perform what you love.

HU TAO

Energetic.

She also has an interesting relationship with death. She believes that death is a natural part of life and feels that trying to prolong it is meaningless. Hu Tao embraces death.

Also she's a funeral parlour director. Cremation.

I adore how she's associated with butterflies, a symbol of death and change.

YANFEI

You would expect someone who works with law to be a hydro user wouldn't you.

Oh well, Yanfei is very passionate about the law. Like damg.

Also. Fun-fact: She finds Fontaine 's laws too difficult. Which is understandable.

THOMA

I'm not a ThomaTo shipper, but he definitely loves the Kamisato siblings. They are like a family to him and he is extremely loyal to them.

Thoma is a very friendly character and hardworking. He's also protective of the Kamisato siblings. idk guys, he's just one of those characters that you just know loves with all their heart.

YOIMIYA

FIREWORKS

passionate about fire works

friendly

DEHYA

She's from the desert.

She's strong.

Destruction.

Courage.

Her vision came to her at a low point making it a light at the end of her tunnel .

LYNEY

He is passionate about magic. He's the extrovert of the hearth siblings. He shares an element with Arlecchino, which may hint to them having a closer bond.

Light.

Courage.

The terms 'smoke and mirrors' is used when referring to a magician's tricks.

I'm gonna say a case can be made with love, for his siblings, 'Father' and for the magician that trained him and Lynnette. This boy rarely leaves his sister's side for long periods of time. Also he loves the traveller I don't make the rules you gays can't change my mind.

MOVING ON

CHEVREUSE

Passion

GUN

Courage

GAMING

His name is FIRE. He's passionate about his art. He's friendly. REALLY friendly and courage works too. His animations are LIT.

What more do you want?

CONCLUSION

Passion seems to be the most common trait amongst these fiery little guys.

Cryo next and I promise you I will gush about Kaeya and his beautiful face .

Bye!

Edi: i forgot Yoimiya.

[phenylshark]

Yassified Murata? This is super rushed i probably couldve done better but i dont have the motivation to fix it. I just saw the leaked designs and wanted to give it my own spin 'cause it certainly wasnt what i was expecting. Trusting that the writers still manage to make her lovable nonetheless. (the reference on the side is an old interpretation of murata as a SU diamond)

[nno-user]

I heard from a friend you do requests, so can you please do Murata just casually roasting zenitsu? And maybe inosuke along with him.

This is so funny to me (sorry for the super late reply)

[ Zenitsu + Murata + Inosuke ]

[senjuushi]

Memory au but the after? for L1, herme, fal, gras, murata, and mauser with a nice master >:) who was really sweet with them. they're reactions once they realize how needy and vulnerable (and in herme's case emotional) they were

Love1

He's conflicted. On one hand, Love1 hates that you saw him like that— scared, hurting, vulnerable, and too naive to hide any of it. On the other, you were kind even while he was utterly useless and failing to compensate for it. You know far too much, now, about how much pain he's in and what his limits are, but that's a temptation in itself. Now that he knows how much better he could feel with your help, it's hard to go back to his usual misery.

Herme

He's somewhere between humiliated and violently uncomfortable with the memories of how he was acting. Such emotional, human behavior is unacceptable coming from the perfect tool. ...and yet, you didn't punish him for it. You were every bit as kind to him when he was useless and flawed, and that's the part that distresses Herme the most. He'll try his best to move on and pretend like the whole incident never happened, to little success.

Fal

After spending so long in that altered state of mind, Fal is terribly behind on his work and panicking because of it. He can hardly believe he let himself be so trusting— even when he was new, surely, he couldn't have been so naive. Underneath the surface-level fear, though, Fal is even more horrified that you were still so kind. Even when he was failing at every standard he holds himself to, you didn't hurt him for it. Could he have stayed like that?

Gras

The resulting meltdown is ugly, even by the usual standards of Gras's rotten behavior. You saw the most raw, shameful parts of him, and actually tried to help— and it worked. He could have been better, and knowing that hurts like an open wound. He'll surely disappoint you soon enough now that he's back to normal, though, and the thought of losing the bliss of your love has Gras spiraling. He'll ruin everything on his own before you can take it away.

Murata

Knowing how vulnerable he made himself while not knowing any better doesn't sit well with Murata, at all. You were kind to him even then, but that doesn't make it any easier for him to process the memories of acting so clingy and weak. The stress of it has him slipping away from reality a bit— and doing everything he can to hide that, of course. He'll avoid you as much as possible in the aftermath, and fight every shameful instinct to stay by your side.

Mauser

The whole situation forces Mauser to face the previously inconceivable concept of life without Ashley's influence, and that turns out to be painful in ways he'd never have anticipated. Suddenly, he's aware of everything that was trained into him throughout his first Master's ownership, and much to his dismay, he's horrified. You were so very kind to him like that, and it makes him see how different he could have been if he was yours all along.

[sleepyorchidmonster]

Can you imagine if Celestia decides to mind control the archons, realizing that a revolution is probably coming?

The main goal is to sow chaos and distrust in Teyvat, stopping the Tsaritsa's plans while showing Celestia's might.

What they didn't expect was for said archons to fight back, most with contingencies made centuries ago.

Venti isolated himself in a wind barrier, making sure nobody could enter, and that his powers couldn't break out. He is NOT having panic attacks due to claustrophobia and memories of Decarabian's rule, thank you very much.

Zhongli sealed himself deep undergound, in a similar fashion to Azdaha, he brought plenty of books to pass the time, though he is mostly suffering from a migraine due to fighting off Celestia.

Ei is literally just chilling in the Plane of Euthymia while the Shogun runs Inazuma. Makoto's subconsiousness is fistfighting Celestia's influence.

To make sure nobody could use her control over Irminsul and the people's dreams and minds, Nahida locked herself up in the Sanctuary of Surasthana again, sealing her conciousness. It worked, but she's afraid and alone and crying while reliving her worst nightmare. Scaramouche and Cyno are trying to break the barrier in frantic desperation.

We don't know much about Murata, but she's probably just chilling in a volcano. Meanwhile the Tsaritsa froze herself, letting Pierro run the country and the Fatui in her stead.

Meanwhile Furina is hiding in the dephts of Fontaine's sea, sealing herself in a cave with the use of Pneuma and Ousia energies (if she tries to break the barrier, or attempts to control Fontaine's waters, the barrier strikes, she went a bit overboard because tsunamis are no joke).

So yeah, the plan didn't go as expected, and Celestia also didn't account for the Traveler... or the dragons...

The Traveler is basically going around saving everyone, using his connection to the elements to break barriers and fight off Celestia's influence. We start with Sumeru, mostly because Scara all but drags us to save Nahida.

As for the Sovereings...

Dvalin is guarding Venti's temporary "prison", trying to sing as many ballads as he can remember in hopes to calm him down. He sometimes sings the notes wrong because it always made Venti laugh.

Azdaha's conciousness found Zhongli's seal. He connected both of the places so that they can keep each other company. They're alternating between chess matches with soothing tea and Oshmantus wine to friendly spars that shake Liyue (Zhongli is still a feral war god that likes to fight).

Ei is having a great time in the Plane of Euthymia, especially now that Kokomi came along. They're chatting about light novels.

Apep managed to connect to Nahida's conciousness and is currently strangling the Celestial influence. She claims it's just her way of settling the score after we helped her in 3.6, as well as a good excuse to fight Celestia. The fact that she is telling stories of the old days of Teyvat to calm Nahida down is just a mere coincidence. (The maternal instincts kicked in)

Neuvillette broke though the Pneuma Ousia barrier with a small army of Melusines. He is currently guarding the archon in his dragon form while the Melusines perform plays to distract her (they want to start a troupe, so these are all original scripts, they were all approved).

We don't know much about the other two dragons, so let's just say they're guarding the borders of Natlan and Snezhnaya.

CONGRATULATIONS CELESTIA! Not only did your plan fail, but now all of Teyvat is mad at you!! Even the Sovereigns (that are supposed to resent the archons, mind you) are angry on their behalf!!!!🥳🥳🥳

Bonus: Neuvillette watching the show of the melusines while Furina sleeps next to his paws:

[aqma]

I was bored lol.

Bueno bueno como mexicana me basé en la cultura maya y blah blah blah ya te la sabes no tengo ni idea si Natlan tendrá más culturas basadas para su nación pero bueno yo solo hice mi fanart todo qlero así que x.

[the-chikyuu-times]

[astrofilsarchives]

Which Archon do you reckon is the content god?

Now, Furina might have been but she's done the burnt out SwimTuber apology vid and retired from content creation, so she's out.

The Tsaritsa has a very large, scary, dedicated and capable fandom that will stop at nothing, not even death, but she also doesn't really seem to be posting much publicly. She's keeping it locked behind a OnlyFatui paywall.

Ei has been a hikikomori just playing her single player sandbox game for years, but Yae Miko is trying to teach her how to do text messages now. It's slow going but she recently learned how to use emojis.

Venti has a Vocaloid cover channel with a modest following, and about 50 shitposting account to troll everyone else with. Might have had a decent chance but the shitposting accounts keep getting banned so he has to restart all the time.

Zhongli is simply not on social media. However, sometimes Hu Tao makes TickTock(It's Death o'Clock)s where she pranks him and sometimes he'll participate in Q&A's moderated by Hu Tao. The chat lovingly calls him grandpa.

Nahida is the Queen of AkashaVRChat. However, AVR is limited to people with an Akasha terminal, so her reach is limited to Sumeru. (For now.)

Murata: ???? We haven't heard anything much about her outside of Natlan so maybe she's hot shit (haha) over there but clearly doesn't have much (overt?) reach outside of Natlan.
