[protect-namine]

btw I'm still holding out on the possibility that visions and the process of ascending to celestia in genshin function like the sibyl system in psycho pass.

JEBRAEL AND SAMAIL WERE SUCH GOOD NPCS HOLY SHIT, I AM OBSESSED

Spoilers for The Golden Slumber Genshin world quest below the break <3

I NEED EVERYONE TO LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST WORLD QUESTS GENSHIN IMPACT HAS CREATED–

I finally noticed fully Jebrael and Samail were foils during the final scene in the Eternal Dreamland between the two

Ignore that it's a really shitty picture but the way that they are opposing colors in almost every way GETS ME like Jebrael has blue hair and Samail had pink, and the fact that all of Jebrael's clothing that ties him to the Thutmose is either very worn, torn, or cracked!!!! I loved the clear difference in their stances in the Thutmose, showing how Jebrael was disgraced and just like THE FOILS OMG

This scene killed me. He heard the voices of the people he cared about and chose to die with Samail that way they would be safe I'm not crying you are

I fr almost cried during this it was SO GOOD okay rant over

GOLDEN SLUMBER SPOILERS PLEASE PLAY IT BLIND

golden slumber destroyed me.. 

hoyo gave us such a good dad and then killed him.

Jebrael always puts Jeht first. Even though he does want to kill Samail, he understands that that WILL NOT bring her back and would just endanger his daughter. 

-“If taking revenge on Samail could bring Ufairah back to life... A good deal like that... Even if I had to gut him ten times... even a hundred times! I wouldn't hesitate at all.”

-“After Jeht was born, I kept asking myself if I could still wholeheartedly carry out the missions Thutmose gave me as I had been doing in the past.”

-“I didn't mention all of this to you because it was my own selfish dream, and it had nothing to do with Jeht. I didn't want to make her bear any burdens she doesn't have to.”

HE UNDERSTANDS HIS ACTIONS!!

and GODS the line “A man chained by hatred cannot raise a daughter.” goes so hard. Jebrael managed to understand something most anime dads with a dead wife never even consider, that he is not the centre of the universe, however he is the only universe his kid currently knows.

I hope we get to see Jeht in the future, I hope she can find her father’s tribe.

Jeht and Jebrael: A Father's Love Beyond Slumbering Sands and a Daughter's Promise in the Timeless Realm

SPOILER ALERT: Please finish the Golden Slumber questline and the Dirge of Birqis before reading this post. :3

Jeht was a young woman we had encountered during Sumeru's world quest, The Golden Slumber. She and her father Jebrael were mercenaries hired to escort a researcher named Tirzad across the deserts in search of ruins. This father and daughter duo endeared themselves not just to the Traveler but also to many players as well. Jeht was a bubbly girl with a taste for adventure whereas Jebrael was stoic but not unapproachable. Although he may be intimidating, Jebrael has a soft spot for his wife and his daughter.

But what was supposed to be an adventure became a dire situation when Jebrael's past caught up with him. His old friend Samail appeared, searching for the throne of King Deshret. While we stew in confusion, Jebrael warned him of the consequences if he sits on that throne in Khaj-Nisut. The dashing Eremite mercenary knew what would happen if Samail sits on the throne. But he wouldn't listen. When he sat down, all of Khaj-Nisut shuddered. Jebrael stopped him, but he got trapped within the Golden Slumber. Jeht called out to her father, begging him to come back. But he was lost to her forever.

I'm sure that many of us Travelers went back to the throne to try and get Jebrael back. But it was a lost cause. He can never return to his daughter's side, forcing her to face the world alone. The last time we left her in Aaru Village, she was crying at the loss of her father. And to be honest, it broke my heart knowing that this once cheerful girl has her world shattered in an instant.

Then we reconnected with her via Katheryne in Sumeru City. We found out that Jeht found a new family in the Tanit tribe. During her time there, she became more mellow and wiser. But she retained her tenacious personality and quick wit. She also became decisive when dealing with those whom she thought was a traitor to the Tanit tribe. As Matriarch Babel's left hand man, she gained the respect of others in their tribe.

In her quest to lay her father's axe and her mother's research notebook to rest, Jeht had encountered many trials and made difficult decisions. Nevertheless, she remained focused on her goal. I'm sure that wherever he is, Jebrael is proud of his little girl. But despite Jeht's matured demeanor, there were times when she longed for her father's presence. This was particularly true when we reached the Eternal Oases and laid down her parents' stuff underneath a tree. Though she looked peaceful, there's this sense of loneliness in her because of what happened to her parents. Nevertheless, she gained the good will of Liloupar, the Jinn that led us to the Eternal Oases. She even bid us to look after Jeht, stating the reason that she's a good person and must be protected at all costs. Never mind that she could protect herself quite well. But knowing that she fulfilled her promise to her parents, Jeht moves forward with her life. And I wish her nothing but the best for her.

Genshin spoilers for the Golden Slumbers Quest series with Jeht and Jebrael

So... i cant be the only one that felt that Samail had a very hateful, unknown love for Jebrael, right? Like he was heartbroken when Jebrael betrayed the group, killed Jebraels wife and was obsessed with bringing him back and then the final words as they became one?!?!

Like i know in cannon this is probably not how it is but to me, looking at Samails character all his actions kinda added up to that. He loved his bond with Jebrael and when he lost it he became hateful all unknown to be a love and heartbreak.

... COME ON! i know these words are meant to be “lets contribute to become our god” but like... U SEE THIS?!?!

I feel Samail would have been happy to simply work with Jebrael for the rest of their lives, not gotten into things such as romance or anything but just be together but unrequited feelings as Jebrael had to go and fall in love.
