#honkai star rail aeons

[hyperfixat]

hehe here's this 2k brain rot that @suiana's post gave me (permission proof - not a thief!)

i turned caelus into a they them not sorry. also if the formatting is odd, i’m on my pc and i usually use my phone so.

They’re back.  Again.  

March has to stifle the screams of anger she wants to let out as the shackles of stillness finally free her.  Like ice melting Caelus and Dan Heng begin to move around, continuing where they had left them stranded and abandoned, left to stay stagnant at their whim. 

The worse thing is that she can’t even complain, not for lack of desire to do so, no, no she physically cannot voice her complaints.  And March knows she isn't crazy, she’s caught the twinge of annoyance in Welt’s eyes when he unpaused; seen the ghost of a scowl on Seele’s face; even the carefully controlled hardened gaze of Dan Heng has cracked before.

The Trailblazer is the only one who hasn’t cracked, obediently stopping when they will them to do so, and ever so happy to come back at their will.  March wants to corner them and ask how and why, if they know what's going on, but alas: she must trot along with her friends at their wicked will.

Dan Heng doesn't know what you are, because surely you can’t be an Aeon.  Aeons don’t hold the powers you do, even if they did surely there would be some record of you in the archives, right?  No Aeon dead or alive has the ability to puppeteer humans, and it frightens him that there is something out there that is using him in such a way.  It embitters him, both the unknown surrounding them and the way he is treated; how his whole world is put on a pause while he remains aware.  Aware of how the breeze stills and the stars stop twinkling, how the world goes silent.  What could hold such power? 

A shudder runs down his spine as he follows the Trailblazer’s party.

Welt has witnessed a lot in his time.  Nothing quite like them, though.

Himeko has witnessed a lot in her time.  Nothing quite like them, though.

Bronya, Seele, Sampo, and Natasha have witnessed a lot in their time.  Nothing quite like them, though.

Yukong, Loucha, Fu Xuan, and Jing Yuan have witnessed a lot in their time.  Nothing quite like them, though.

Kafka, Blade, and Silver Wolf have witnessed a lot in their time.  Nothing quite like them, though.

The different paths they all walk may intervene, as their personalities and beliefs may differ but there is one truth they can all agree on.

They hate you.

Caelus doesn’t.  Rather, Caelus can’t help but love you; you gave them life and led them through their trials.  You keep them safe and armored. You help them find the words to face others when their mind goes blank. 

To Caelus you are the world.

The Aeons came to know of you when Dan Heng’s frantic searches focused on them for a little too long.  While he was scanning the records they saw you.  You were intriguing from the get go, a pretty thing, sitting comfortably as a figure in the sky. The Preservation and The Nihility, whose current forms allow for more ease with floating went as far as they could to reach you.

Yet you remain just out of reach of the Aeons.

The Abundance uses one of her many arms to steady herself as she crawls along the very fabrics of their reality to get a closer look at you.  And what a darling thing you are!  Excitement that she hasn’t felt in a long, long time, perhaps for the first time ever fills her up inside.  With a shaky hand, she motions for the other Aeons to take a closer look at you.

From there the… shall we say, worship, began.

Nanook, The Destruction, takes note of your fondness for certain characters, and what his darling likes, he likes, so when the Antimatter Legion he has blessed come across the ones you are fond of, their attacks are lighter and they lose his blessing temporarily.  Sure, he wished some of the gushing from beyond the sky was for him, but you so rarely see his face on the screen (only ever in the Simulated Universe you put that Caelus through) he can’t blame you.

IX, The Nihility, will not change in their ways, not even someone like you can shift the nihilism they embody, but, perhaps you don’t notice it, your teams deal better damage over time, don’t they?  Don’t take their blessings lightly, it took a lot to bring them there.

Yaoshi, perhaps makes it the most obvious (despite you never noticing), your favorite vessels get a wonderfully boosted health bar.  You never knew to question how Blade managed to get nine thousand hit points.

It’s hard to pinpoint who thought of it first, perhaps IX or Fuli, but the Aeons, the strongest Aeons, gathered to pull you down from beyond the sky.  Through a (top secret) ritual you find yourself being hurtled down like a meteor into the freezing snow of the Outlying Snow Plains. 

…

You wake to the kind face of Caelus, which is a bit odd because he’s not supposed to be so… high res.  Or real.

“Are you alright, My Lord?”  The title doesn’t immediately resonate with you, so you disregard hearing it.  When you don’t answer right away they frown in worry, hands moving to yours, gently covering them with their warmth.

“What happened?  Why am I here?”

“You fell from the sky, do you not remember?”

“No,” what sky would you have fallen from?  You tend to stay on the ground.

Caelus worries their bottom lip and helps you sit up.  “Oh.”  There’s a pause.  “Did you not mean to come here? I thought….”

“Hm?” You prod, gently encouraging them to talk.

“I thought you were coming to see me,” their face is tinged pink and facing down in their lap.  Caelus’ hands feel hot and you rush to reassure them.

“I’m glad to see you, but I don’t know how or why I’m here,” you pause, cringing internally.  “Caelus.”  Fuck, that is their name right?  No last minute changes?

Luckily their face lights up when you say it and you find yourself pressed into their soft chest, their arms around you in a bear hug. 

“You’re really them.”  A breathy, ecstatic phrase.  Their face buries into your hair and Caelus doesn’t loosen their hold until a knock at their door.

“Trailblazer!  Pompom here, requesting an update on Their Grace’s status.”  

Caelus gently detaches themself from you and opens the door to reveal the tiny rabbit-oid conductor.  Pompom bashfully rubs their hands together when they catch sight of you awake and looking at them.

“Hello, Your Grace, Pompom is glad to see you awake and healthy.”  

What a cute creature, you think.  “Thank you, Conductor Pompom.”

They let out a squeak at your words and nod.  “Pompom needs to go check in on the other passengers, but let Pompom know if you need anything, okay, Your Grace?”

“Oh, thank you Pompom.”  They hurry away, stubby feet padding quickly down the carpeted halls.  You turn your head to Caelus, “what was that about?”

“Hm?”  Their golden eyes meet yours, head tilting.

“Why did they call me those things, Your Grace?”  

“Because you are our God above Aeons.  Do you… were you somehow unaware of that?”

The words hit you like a freight train.  “No, I’m not.”  It’s all you can think to say.

Caelus sits next to you on the bed, placing a hand on your knee.  “Yes you are.  We can feel it.  You are the one that controls this world and gives us life.”

Controls this world… and gives them life… fuck, the game… you’ve been playing these sentient beings.  Your tummy hurts at the knowledge . 

“Oh, I’m— I’m sorry.”  Your eyes prick with tears, the gravity of what you’ve been doing; how you’ve dragged these people into battles for fun.  You couldn’t have know, but it doesn’t stop the guilt eating at you.

“No, no, what are you apologizing for?”  Caelus’ hands cup your face, a finger catching the tears that drip over the brim of your waterline.  Their voice drops to a whisper, “please don’t cry, My Lord.”

You suddenly feel very watched, like a million eyes are on you.  Caelus never closed his door.  You look up and catch sight of March 7th’s glare.  The intensity of it makes you flinch back, making Caelus look up, over to:

“March, don’t give them that look.”  They scold the girl, who turns the withering look to them.

“Why are you taking care of that monster?  We told you to leave them to freeze in the snow.”  The words make your heart sink.  Being on this side of such venomous words stings, especially from someone you never would have pegged to be so hateful.

Caelus bares thier teeth, a mix of offense and hurt on their face.  “And I told you I would do no such thing to our God.”

“That is no God.”  Her voice shakes as does her head, before turning around and walking away.

“Don’t listen to her.” Caelus shakes their head in disappointment. “She doesn’t understand what all you do for us.  Please don’t hold it against her.”

…

They, the Astral Express, do not like you.  Caelus and Pompom do, they hold you in reverence, which is better than how March, Himeko, Welt, and Dan Heng treat you.  It’s all dirty looks and only partially veiled insults.  Caelus gets into arguments with them over you.  

You hate to think that you’re harming the friendships between them, and when you brought your concern up, Caelus dismissed you saying you are worth it all.  

Yeah, there’s that.  You’ve tried to explain that you are not God, but they won’t hear you out.  :(

It’s a perfectly normal day on the Astral Express when the Aeons come. 

Nanook is the first one to descend into the Parlor Car; Caelus and Dan Heng immediately drawing their weapons, The Destruction laughs once, eyes moving to focus solely on you.

“It’s so good to see you, My darling Lord.”  His voice is low and deep, and the gold flowing freely from the wounds (?) on his arms leaves a trail on the carpet as he approaches to kneel in front of you.  From your peripheral you see Dan Heng and Caelus share a look before lowering their respective weapons.

Nanook, you recognize him from the Simulated Universe blessings screen, grabs your hand, gracing the back of your palm with a chaste kiss.  His golden eyes peek up at you from behind long lashes.

“How has the Express been treating you?  I regret not being able to welcome you to this existence, but alas the ritual took a lot out of us…”

What.

“Oh, uh,” your eyes flicker around the cabin nervously.  “I’m doing alright, th-thanks…”

“Now, now, don’t tease the poor thing,” a beautiful woman (Aeon) walks in, one with many, many arms draped in soft looking, white cloth.  Yaoshi’s eyes soften when she meets your gaze.  “Hello, Your Grace, it’s an honor to meet you in the flesh.”

Caelus, Dan Heng, March, everyones’ (save for you and the two Aeons) bodies droop, posture faltering.  IX, The Nihility, has arrived.  An odd feeling, akin to that of a weighted blanket, is pushed onto your body.  It’s them, their astral, cosmic form much smaller than what should be made of their status, laying on your body like a boa.  They don’t speak, though you aren’t  sure they could in this form.

Yaoshi’s eyes flicker with amusement, and Nanook pulls himself up.  “The others were unable to make it, but,” her gaze chills and is directed at the crew of the Express.  “We all wish to make it known that disrespect, anything short of reverence toward Our Grace, will not be tolerated.”

Welt visibly shudders at the threat, and Himeko shares a look with Dan Heng.  They need to reflect on how they feel towards you, tha much is certain.

Yaoshi the Abundance

[cuhdasdf]

is it weird to say that im into Aha? they are.. you know Aha(ahahahahahha)

im just a sucker for gods of joy

[tree-obsession]

one main thing i really like abt hsr storytelling is how distant and poweful the aeons seem. we are introduced to them right off the bat, and they’re super intimidating and well-designed. they’re extremely mysterious, more powerful than imaginable, and dont just appear the way archons in genshin do. they’re huge presences and play such interesting roles that we don’t know enough about yet, and i love how they seem so much more powerful than archons in vibes alone.

(and then herta puts them in a computer-)

[hanamisofficialspouse]

GUYS, LISTEN. A THEORY CAME UP IN MY MIND.

So, we all know March 7th, and her lore. She was found in a chunk of ice, frozen BUT still alive, she doesn't remember anything, and no one knows her origin, age, nothing. She uses ice powers, likes to take photos of her adventures, friends, and different life stories and such. As a way of keeping, remembering memories.

Rings any bells?

...

AEON OF REMEMBRANCE, FULI.

When you choose the path of resonanse to be Remembrance in the Simulated Universe, and choose Remembrance blessings few times in a row, you will get that one Path of Resonance: Remembrance - (Spend 100 points of Energy to use this ability and resonate with the Path of Remembrance, dealing Ice DMG to all enemies with 120% base chance to Freeze all enemies for 1 turn(s)) SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

REMEMBRANCE. MEMORY FRAGMENTS. MARCH'S PHOTOS REPRESENTING MEMORIES. ICE POWERS. FOUND IN A CHUNK OF ICE ITSELF, OUT OF THE BLUE, AND SURVIVED?

Another thing. The thing I've noticed in one of the HSR trailers.

See how Fuli, of all Aeons in existense, appeared and "watched" the Express go it's own way? I think that's not a coincidence.

Also.

I've noticed that March and Black Swan have some... Odd similarities. For example, their hair hue, even tho thecolors are different (March having pink, Swan having purple) is very similar. Notice that four "star" shaped pin thing on her veil, right glove, and that decor at the veil edges?

THE SHAPE IS VERY SIMILAR TOO. LIKE BRO WHAT IS HAPPENIIIIING

[just-somehuman]

The amount of times I have to explain that the Aeons use they/them pronouns because they are ABOVE gender makes me want to cry 😭

[silentstudiosyt]

Back on one of my tangents.

So something that stood out to me recently is how biblically accurate angles are scary looking and monster like while biblically actuate demon are beautiful and more human like.

Given how the Archons are nemed after demon's from Ars Goetia and how it's implied that Tyvet is upsidedown (and possibly hell)??? I find it interesting that the Archons look very human like. I'm not too far into Honkai Star Rail but I did notice that the Aeons have a unhuman and monster like apprentice. It's also implied that the two games take place in the same universe.

I wonder if this was intentional on hoyoverses part or not.

[sjfjsnxbs]

I demand a ff for them (they are aeons from honkai star rail)

[kujouzsara]

A completely unnecessary and small analysis on Ena´s (The Order) Design!

English is not my first language so please excuse any spelling/grammar mistakes or anything that does not make sense.

First let´s go over what we know, “Ena is a trunkless puppet veiled with tattered cloth, crystal-gazing into an orb containing the cosmos. THEY possess a golden halo crown and giant eye behind them.”  It's confirmed THEY are a puppet, hence why the strings around them,  which makes sense since the very path THEY presided was the Order and were known to be  quite controlling to the planets and civilizations THEY took under their wing and for puppets to work they need to be controlled by an experiences puppeteer;even though in this case the puppet is ALSO the puppeteer controlling the universe.

The eye behind THEM could symbolize their form of governing over their planets as Herta mentions in the simulated universe how these planets would “adhere staunchly to established rules”, I interpret this as Ena having and “all seeing eye” that would keep watch for anything that didn't fit in their concept of order.

In the simulated universe when we first meet Ena a small clockwork melody)? is heard which could be Ena´s own voice since Herta described it as a “holy hymn” faction that followed THEM was called the “Beyond the Sky Choir”, this makes sense in the context that music is and essential element when it comes to puppet theater. 

I think a lot of things related to Ena may be references to religion, maybe catholicism or christianity but I'm leaning toward catholicism. Firstly Ena is described as a veiled puppet, veiling in catholicism nowadays isn't a very common practice but in some places it's still a thing. The faction´s name “Beyond the Sky Choir” also reminds me a lot of the catholic church since “beyond the sky” could be a synonym to heaven, and heaven and hell are both recurring themes in the church. Also Ena has what appears to be a halo above THEM which again, I think it's related as angels are divine spirits or guardians in the catholic bible. This last paragraph is just speculation!

[archival-arrival]

AeonDeitic, AeonHSRCharic, AeonVisuic

AeonDeitic <- a gender related to being a deity known as an aeon, a deity of aeons, aeons from honka star rail, deities/gods and so on.

AeonHSRCharic <- a gender related to the set of characters known as the Aeons, from Hoyoverse's Honkai Star Rail.

AeonVisuic <- a -visuic aesthetigender related to the visual aesthetics of the aeons in honkai star rail. this gender generally feels tied to each of their aesthetics.

[hyperfixat]

Will you write hsr sagau thing again?

[og post] maybe.

i already had something in the works when i posted that, regarding a self aware au — more on the isekai side though. it’s on the large side and going to be multi chaptered, so more of my focus is going there

i’m glad people like the post, but i don’t really know what i would add to make another part. if you (anon and those seeing this) have any ideas you’d like to see, i could certainly try and make another part

also the aeons are hard to remember and characterize seeing as we see so little of them in the game and stuff, so it’d definitely have to be more on the top express’ redemption arc lol

i’ll add the fandom tags in case someone not following me knows of the post and wants to join this discussion. also again shout out to @suiana for letting me use the idea they made

[al-salmon]

You look lonely... I can fix that

Meeting of Leona (my OC) with Oroboros.

I'll tell more about them later.

Idea from scene of Blade Runner 2049.

[cuhdasdf]

them but women

[anominous-user]

so, yaoshi's intro…

[hydrachea]

Do you think god lives in fear of what they've created.
