happy late birthday to this guy

[haeresys-realm]

I find this and have a plenty to say, and my bad English won't stop me. Because there are interesting pre-thoughts, pre-theories but in conclusion they came they have nothing to do with the reality in my opinion. You can say or think anything and find my opinion wrong because of thinking that stupid fairytale of Nahida (I'm really shocked so many people ...maybe all people just swallowed it as the truth when it was totally fact-screwed just to put everything very brief and making us see the situation from the Scaramouche perspective, as he want it it to be, and Nahida that felt a great sympathy and compassion to him; it is really stupid even to mention so evident things that almost all legends and fairytales in genshin are represented to us as smth taht other people overthink about some things they don't know or want to show us from their own view,very biased, nothing of logical and objective view), Dottore NEVER hated himself and he NEVER thought he is worse than others. NEVER. The stupid fact that they used to give him a reason to delete his other segments.... We can esteem it from 2 sides. The 1st is the perspective of that who see it as a fiction: we know that it is a stupid pattern of the devellopers to make an antagonist weaker or to prevent themselves to do a big amount.of job to show all his segments and make them participate in game. So, it is NOT what SUCH character would ACTUALLY DO, it was just to make the plot EASIER for devellopers that make content for children. They must make Nahida look NOT SO MUCH weaker than him to sell her banner to the children, and conducted matures. She looked illogical and hysterical hypocrite thet being a Rukkhadevata segment that was born a goddess criticised the Doctor for being a great scholar with that self-believe, ambitions and so devoted conceptions that he MADE HIMSELF A FOD and even tried a way to confront erosion and preserve the wideness of his perception of the world. It's magnificent. But it was represented to us from her perspective as....having no sense of devotion?! As some perversion to the nature and all the life laws?! As something that is worse than some regular little scholar could do?!!!! Go fuck yourself maybe???? I can't say if there's more hypocritically stupid I ever faced in genshin than the so-called Goddess of "Wisdom" that said that every person is unique and interesting and that she criticised Dottore for being more clever and self-honest than she, because he, who was born human, became more powerful and wise god than she. So pathetic.

Well ok. I really admire him, because I don't see in his personality that idiot sadistic monster, that stupid cartoonish villain as you all want and as part of genshin developpers try to show. The fact is that his image in this is too contradictive.

So, you can say that he's the same old Il Dottore from manga, and these images should be linked to each other inseparable. I disagree. Because I will invite.yiu to see from the reader of the story perspective again: the web manga image was an EARLIEST and CHILDISH concept of the fucking villainy maid scientist, really mad and really cartoonish Dottoschmerz, lol. He acts so fucking....i don't know like it's all some grotesque farce. And now look at his new mysterious image of the genius that wasn't understood, that was neglected and outcast by the whole world surrounded him. So he had to become sly, he had to become smarter that anyone and learn to think the most quickly than anyone to make his plans cone true, to get what he wanted, to make it possible to reach all the knowledge he want in spite that these stupid and limited persons around him found them FORBIDDEN. He trusted no one but himself. He was the one who made himself. The greatest example of the person than no one undertood but he was never broken but became an archon-like creature just because he could prove that he was right in his concepts. (Just go read the Dar al-Shifa notes and achievement again. The original sounded as "Before "I" was born". I don't want to comment this again, it's too evident he speaks about his true godlike self that can reach any knowledge he want and during his experiments try to become not even an equal to Archons but aiming to become even stronger, – hello Nahida, etc).

But now lets try to take a look from the perspective as if there are no developpers, etc, and he's a real person. Ok than... If so he would NEVER erase his segments, that he did for decades with so much rare resources and energy wasted. The only explanation – it was a trap And if Nahida can read minds, and even Scaramuccia cant, so there's NO FUCKIN WAY THE DOCTOR COULDN'T. Say whatever you want, but the fact that the person who creates archons, modified Scaramouche to become the 6th Harbinger (read his story, really, 4th or smth), made the self-segment puppets that are stronger than some GODS (the one who talked to Nahida was JUST A SEGMENT, and webmanga's Il.Dottore killed Ursa the dragon by ONLY A MOVE OF HIS PALM!! Yes, here we can say yet again that he's an obvious and absolute catalyst user as Nahida, he experimented with Eleazar and elemental energises, found correlations and made a conclusion that further 'with enough income he could reach a level of the so-called gods' – so, making him a clamore user is just continuing the tradition to making this game just a stupid fanfiction, I'd never trust illogical shit in it and neglect it instead of trying to justify as the most of immature fandom representatives, sorry not sorry), can't do such thing is a TOTAL ABSURDITY. So, when we saw him new the Irminsul we must be absolutely sure, he took everything he wanted from it.

So, we can say the following. – Even if he said that it's hard enough not to disputing with oneself especially with yourselves in previous or even elder times, that doesn't.mean he hate himself lol. Everyone of us could disagree with his concepts in previous times because we had another information, another surrounding and another self-motivation, another picture of yourself and the world. But even such conditions could be helpful, because it's unique, you can think in it the way you can't do it now. So, this is what we call the wideness of the perspective/world perception. And Dottore appreciate it, even if it's a bit hard to bear.

This Omega (maybe the last and the most close to the Basis Dottore) segment couldn't make such a decision without some backup opportunity. The Basis Dottore could just... Get rid of him too if finding him so disappointing. He could take the god hearts as Signora, he had the powers to just take them from Kusanali in one monet. It was so absurd to hear him, so much more rapid predator that standing a two steps from a weak lol, hear him saying okaaay you can threaten me by broking the gnosis, yeees, yes, it seems so legit I won't be in time to extend my hand and just it from you, yeeees, it sound so scary that you will broke your own heart and put in such a danger all your beloved people of the country you return back to you because of me and my little experiments and the fact I didn't prevent you to do what you want and didn't help Scaramuccia because I'm a scientists, not an enemy to you....ah yes you're welcome byvthe way. Huh, you said I'm really crazy instead of it and ask what would Tsaritsa say?.... How disappointing the God of Wisdom is so limited in her convictions...

Ah, well sorry not sorry again. Now we can finally sneak in on the idea I wanted to ecpress.

The author of the article try to say that the Doctor has no vision and he's envy to those who have. Totally disagree.

3 facts.

1. Eheh, the webmanga Il Dottore said that they (visions) are nothing but a bunch of the self-inflated TOOLS, not FOOLS (the wielders you talked about). So he JUST said the visions are TOO MUCH OVERESTIMATED. We will return to this idea forther.

2. The whole lore (and one of the ingame note from the loading screen huh) is about "if someone's so devoted to his ideas and never give up, he will have vision". The Doctor was the person who struggles whole.world just because he believed himself and his extraordinary ideas, and was right in then as it was proved in future! So, judging.by the lore principles of this word there's NO WAY such person won't have a vision, when some fucking Lisa just thoughts – mmm it would be fun to have it...and it appeared, lol. If you don't find it stupid, please, let's never speak to each other.

3. Il Dottore said it IN CONTEXT of the delusions.

Ah, ok sorry, I hate this translating. The vision is Eye of God and delusion Evil Eye. The eye of god means that it is a tool for god to look through the wielder on the world. Maybe it's some kind of the tool that could be used to take control on him (we remember what became with ones who lost there visions till vision.hunt decree). And the Evil eye... I disliked this name until I understand that it isn't something villainous, it is what we can use as the contermeasure. So, if someone's try to look through you and use you, just look at him by the evil eye, it's something like a shield using in attack, the averter of the hex. The most interesting paradox. And it would be the most stupid twist in whole story to say the Doctor wasn't the one who invented Evil Eyes (he is 500 y.o. archon of science that worked with the elemental energies and dead gods' remains... who made himself a hod and made an ordinary Fatui soldiers use the elemental magic...did you see the back of the cicin mages, lol? fuck there's EVIDENTLY no way the Evil eyes weren't his job, just lol. But I won't be surprised, in this stupid fanfiction that coming from the patch with the pari zone just before the Fontaine where they just started to kill the lore by stealing the previous concepts from previous.plots and characters, making the Doctor just a stupid copy of some stupid npc Alain and Rene we would even never see in spite of the fact the Doctor was made earlier and his concepts and manners was unique, making Pierrot an unexisting coward that pretend to be the one of the Fatui with Fatui name when he even have no rank, and some yet another stupid abyss knight the mist strongest Harbinger when he just a big warrior maybe modified by the Doctor too, when such entities as the one who made himself a god and who can CREATE GODS, who can make mages from the ordinary people, modify them and give the opportunity to use the elemental powers, and the godlike girl even Tartaglia and Scaramuccia with all their whole hardihood are scared of...the girl is called Father when they had Matushka Cocolia already, and this status is changeable because of the wielders gender...the fact that some Arlecchino's servants via the hidden Inazuma quest tried to promote her higher because of Signora's, the fucking 8th Harbinger!! death and it was obvious that Pedrolino was the 1st, Cap 4th and Arlecchino the 10th but they just ruined EVERYTHING, fuck the logic, alalalal. ah ok nevermind I talked about it before, but I really hate the fact this STUPID and ILLOGICAL fanfiction that CONTRADICTS EVERYTHING that was said in lore before is considered canon. Just fuck it, I shut. But the fact they represented Childe and Skirk, the way they represented Fontaine plot and it's final, the stupidest illogical twists with forgiveness and the most idiotic shit they used the Nahida story to make Furina look so tearjerker, makes me feel hate to all of that is happening in the game and community now. Really disgusting everyone just forget everything that was before and swallowed it being manipulated to sell the new poor unfortunate girl banner.)

So my idea is: the Doctor despites the God Eyes because he just the person that NEVER relied upon someone or something. He was the one who could say when having the aeon power all over the worlds – and now I want to thank my friend who supported me all these years... Thank you, my spinal cord!

He always trust no one and relied on himself only. This is why he just CAN'T himself. And this is why he is so proud of himself looking on others ironically, as if they are, like Tighnary said, speaking stones or smth, lol. They just can't wield all the wideness of his knowledge and always unorthodox perspective (the fact his name was Zandìk, a free thinker, is too speakable), so his attitude is a bit indulgent and tolerate, we could see it even via the negotiations with Nahida. And Tighnary for sure. This is why they were so angry, they believed they are the most respected and clever persons in Sumeru, and now they faced the polite scholar that looked on them as if they are unsophisticated dense children that are only in the beginning on their way to true wisdom... No wonder their reaction was so fun and self-contradictory.

So, the Doctor despise those who rely on gods and overestimate the visions. He as the one who made himself by his own hands and the one who gave people an opportunity to use the elemental powers, making every person who could prove his wish and devotion the kind of Choosen hero. That's the answer. Now we all can agree that God's eyes are really just some self-inflated tools and the wielders are such to celestial gods from that perspective. The conclusion? Dottore has NO problem with visions or their wielders. It is them who.may have problems with Dottore, if they would stay on his way to knowledge.

Thanks for reading if you really did it, I respect you for this. But please don't argue with me. I know that there are almost no people in this world that share my position, so let me just write blog with comfort.

And sorry for mistakes and teared thoughts. I don't know when I will have time to reread and correct this a bit, so, let it be my shame. I will be pleased more than shamed if you point on my mistakes, but I warned you! I was writing it for 3 hours, so please be ease on me, keke.

dottore has…problems with visions. i’ll let the evidence speak for itself first.

AU !

meet archivist alhaitham and detective cyno from my supernatural archivist AU (that i'm turning into a visual novel… or something) 👀

[gold-rhine]

by the way, i keep saying that sumeru is extremely well done cyberpunk masqueraded as fantasy, but the big part of it is also how the focus idea of "knowledge" is explored in corpo\capitalists context. like all cyberpunk explores wealth inequality and class stratification, but sumeru really focused on how knowledge - i.e. higher education, is used to keep these class borders in line. getting high education is the only option for class mobility, as the requirement for university degree gatekeeps a lot of high paying jobs even if they do not in fact require specialised knowledge, or if degree doesn't even have the actual knowledge needed for job. we have npcs, esp in world quests, who had very different dreams, but felt forced to go into academia bc this is the only way to get enough money - more blue-collar, "manual" jobs are de-evaluated, treated as "un-intelligent" and "unskilled", despite them requiring a lot of both. we have academics with their dreams shattered, bc they went in with a dream to explore the world, but were forced to play politics and take research into military and corpo contracts they hate bc this is only way to get funds. the akademia is used not for noble advance of all knowledge, but for targeted research of specific topics that profit corpos, academia restricts knowledge instead of spreading it. academia not only gatekeeps who gets to access knowledge, but also how they process that knowledge and how they use it, and it affects everything

tbh i wish we had a section of main quest where we got to be INSIDE of akademia for a bit and interact with it firsthand, bc i feel like a lot of this is in background stories and characters and story quests like alhaitham's and cyno, but i think it would be great to have it dramatized better

[mirokuna-hime]

I honestly think people are jumping the gun with their disappointment over the new story quest in 1.2

The whole purpose of Xianzhou Luofu arc is to set up future events.

The writers tell us this by having Kafka admit to the MC that the whole point of this operation for the stellaron hunters is to have the Xianzhou indepted to the Astral Express crew so that they will aid them in their fight against Nanook the destruction.

Herta Space Station and Jarilo-IV were used to introduce us to the game mechanics and to establish the trio of Dan Heng, March 7th and the Trailblazer with the Space Station also serving as a prologue.

Jarilo-IV however did nothing to develop the overarching main plot of the game. Belobog was it's own self contained arc to ease the player into the game and they are now using the Xianzhou Luofu arc to plant the seeds for future chapters.

People are already calling Blade a wasted character, because his confrontation with Imbibitor Lunae didn't play out like people hoped it would, because they didn't drop his entire backstory in this quest even though it's pretty clear that Blade, Kafka and Silverwolf will be reoccuring antagonists over the course of the story.

The prologue already introduced us to Kafka and Silverwolf, heck Silverwolf even got her own event.

Introducing Blade and his connection to Dan Heng to the player is what I would argue the other focal point of this arc. Every theme this story introduced to us can be connected to Blade (immortality being a sin, what it means to be mara struck, manipulation, the weight of our past actions and how we deal with them etc.), it's so that we can understand his story and motive.

Not to mention that it opens the door for character development and development of Dan Hengs and his relationship. Right now Dan Heng doesn't make the connection that Blade is his previous incarnations "friend" (in quotation marks because hoyoverse is being sussy with them) and he's still running away from the past. Meanwhile Blade is consumed by his vengence, his desire to die and he is also getting manipulated by Kafka (admittedly she kinda has to because of the Mara but that barely changes anything other than making us see her in a bit more positive light).

All points that will need to be adressed in following installments and I have faith in the Honkai writers to do these plot points justice, but it won't be right now.

We are in 1.2 my friends, let the story take it's time.

[natsumiikan]

I just finished the natlan archon quest after putting it off forever and it was mind-blowingly mid but I think I realized what the problem is. There's no Yuri 💔

[stardustdiiving]

Sometimes I think about we got the very first rumors that playable Scaramouche would be Anemo + get a design change around July 2022 (it was a month or two out from 3.0 release) and a sizable portion of people were melting down on my Twitter recommended over it bc they were absolutely certain this qualified as genshin “ruining his character”. Like they had a hashtag over it and everything it was so funny

[minsungsoftie]

one of the things that just makes me roll in my grave about writing aqua regia is that literally no one is gonna know how much i love liyue and sumeru

[thormanick]

currently working on a chapter for a kavetham fanfic that revolves around sumeru aq and one of the most unhinged/unexpected moments so far is that I came to conclusion that kaveh building Alcazarzaray was the inciting incident for the arts prohibition decree being prepared

[zhongscara]

sumeru was able to redeem the colorist crimes of the character designers with an absolutely BANGER archon quest... i dont think natlan is gonna achieve the same...........

[meowdei]

Guys i can’t wait for evie to get to Fontaine

[paranormalfrogtivity]

Have seen absolutely no one talking about how Dragonspine is in the background for the next Genshin special program, and we got a prophecy from M regarding Durin's resurrection in Simulanka during the summer event last year...

THE MOUNTAIN. IT LIVESSSS

Me and @anglerfishenthusiast's current Firefly Theories based on the White Night MV.

Spoilers (?) Ahead (?) (Does it count as spoilers if the story isn't even out yet? You decide!)

So, if you look at the Sam vs Acheron fight in the second half of the MV, you'll notice that Sam's wings are a distinct green+gold color (as are a lot of Sam's accents). There are only two characters in Penacony with that color scheme:

Firefly and Aventurine. Given that Aventurine already has his own weird mask thing going on in the MV, and the obvious wings > insect conclusion that can be drawn, there are a few conclusions that can be speculated from the footage.

Option A: Firefly is Sam, and has always been. This is the most popular theory I've seen so far, and it works based on what we have. This makes at least one of them transgender, which I enjoy. Bigender robot win!

Option B: Sam is in Penacony, but for some reason, Firefly dons his armor/disguses herself as him to fight Acheron a la Patroclus in the Illiad. I love this idea because A, I came up with it, and B, it would fit the "dreams, emptiness, deception" theme that is clearly going to be a large part of the Penacony plot. You can't trust anyone in the city of dreams, especially with the masked fools about.

Option C: Firefly does not exist, at least not as a flesh-and-blood person. She seems incredibly death flagged, but given that we had an entire patch not that long ago about a major character death who was also out guide to a new region, it would feel... odd for them to do it again immediately. Jude Lemon Anglerfish proposes a different path: what if Firefly was dead the whole time? What if she is merely a ghost that possesses the Sam body, or she's some kind of illusory projection of the dream world? She vanishes into sparkles at the end of the MV as the camera pans away from her. She's definitely not sticking around, the question is: why?

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

I’m wheezing at the idea of just. Ruukhadevata in your fic being like send me your most autistic man and getting Zhongli like. Perfect.

genuinely unsure if i'm just misunderstanding the ask, might be too early for my reading comprehension skills, but uh

the high functioning autistic academic weapon mentioned is alhaitham. like he's- he's already her assistant. she doesn't need one in the sense that she's looking for one, she needs one in the sense that her current workflow only works because the man is already there

[kavehayati]

Kaveh having 49 voice lines and alhaitham having 26 in the upcoming 5.1 patch MUAHAHAH I’d like to thank me myself and I for making this possible cause every single survey I have asked EXPLICITLY for this event EUEEUUE

[pennpenn]

I keep dreaming up Limbus Company sinner gets isekaid into Genshin Impact AUs

I sadly don't have the full set of 12 plotted yet, but I've started designing the ones I'm invested in.

Everyone having locations and then casually dropping that Outis is in the Arataki Gang. Give the old woman a gun again. She deserves it. ❤️

I also think she would get along with Shinobu.

It would be an entire lore dump on their general isekai'd lifestyle, their new social circle, if they share their history, and the possibility of them using specific weapons or visions. (Some characters have notes on skill/burst/idle animations)

Currently I am drawing each character with a basic weapon that is either tied any WAW egos a character has or an item that is related to their backstory.
