So Bennett will finally have his birthday on the actual day in the year of the dragon? And he was found as a baby in (most likely) Natlan… which seems like it’s going to be very dragon-heavy lore wise? Probably doesn’t matter but… what if it does 🥸

So, I’ve been reading Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of dream interpretation and wanted to try using it as a framework to understand what the Abyss is, what Irminsul edits do to reality, and what forbidden knowledge might be. Theory post in the replies ⬇️

I was trying to find something I’d prev posted about how the Traveler is the driving force behind why the Tsaritsa’s plan is successful… … and then realized I couldn’t find it because the text was in image attachments 😅 So here’s a random notes post (so I can find later)

Some notes I have to add to this brainrot that are slightly obscure 👀 1. Klee has a Story passage I’ve always found odd, one about Alice teaching her how to blow up Snarsnatch Cliff … a location of 2 interesting things A. Midnight Summer Court… which ties to fischl story —

[1/5] i can't stop theorizing about fischl h e l p. what if the raven bow description, fischl book, and other evidences tell of another underground city that, instead of being associated with the god of time, was linked to a god/shade of death? -

Why you should read the Hex and the Hound: • witches • another example of “one twin only” in teyvat (until Fontaine… maybe…) • bodies made with dark magic? Souls into bodies requires light magic? Gnostic material body, spiritual soul anyone? • connects to doggo and wolf in—

— for list of some of their children. So the goddess of dawn is mother to the wind and wandering stars… and sure, if you consider Kairos & 1000 winds connect, her children line up nicely w/ Enkanomiya achievements… … but what’s that have to do with Signora’s funeral? —

I’m still thinking about how in the Unreconciled Stars event Fischl referred to the effects of Leonard’s fallen star as a “curse”… …and how Skirk says that in Teyvat… when people die they become curses 🤔 Fischl has all the secrets

— than I intended 🫣 OK IN SUMMARY: I believe the aurora at the funeral is symbolic of Norse Mythology association with fallen warriors + Roman/Greek goddess of dawn symbolism. & Fatui connect to both as well but that’s a way longer post for a different day. The end 🥸

— Great question! Let’s back up to talking about “auroras” as in the northern lights. Early this year, Tears of Themis (hoyovrse game) had an event with an interesting bit of dialog on some symbolism for the aurora… it’s association with the kingdom of the dead. —

— While it could totally be a coincidence that there’s an aurora in the sky during Signora’s funeral, and have nothing to do with her passing… I like to think maybe it’s referencing Norse mythology, & how Odin sends the Valkyries to retrieve the souls of the fallen warriors… —

Going down the “origin of words” rabbit hole… I wonder if the reason the developers use farming references for Khaenri’ah machines ties into the biblical Cain and the fact he was a farmer. Ya know, the first son of Adam and Eve, who murdered his brother Abel out of jealousy…

Based on the fact the Traveler’s #1 book recommendation to Ayaka was The Boar Princess, I’m guessing for Alhaitham’s birthday art, the Traveler and Alhaitham are reading each other’s book recommendations… … poor traveler looks so confused 😂 how adorable
