[Color Wheel Challenge]

Aw, thanks! ^ ^

Anyway, all the gods are unable to do anything with their divine presence like, they CAN still manifest and be seen and interact, but their mere presence is quite frankly terrifying. Kinda like biblical angels and stuff

Like, Venti doesn't wanna scare people, or even directly let them know he's there since he wants to keep his promise of distance from their affairs. The way the whole vessels thing works is that a god could manifest in a mortal's body. It's a lot like what Nahida does with projecting her consciousness, except they don't exchange bodies and the owner is still aware (tho the mortal can still lose consciousness sometimes while the god is the one taking the wheel). Most of the time the god is another presence in their head and they can freely switch between each other

Nameless Bard being in the au is a mystery that will never get addressed though

I am just a silly no thoughts only Venti kind of guy sdhdjgfjg

Aww lil' guys

Anyway, sure!

Idk, try to lick it? The world is vast and possibilities are endless just don't put salt or something

Wait omg I forgot to answer this when I got back-

Anyway ddksgjft I do plan on drawing more of the archon quest posters and the Inazuma and Interlude chapters are works in progress, but as of now, I don't really have access to the computer the files are on so I can't really work on them yet

HOWEVER!

I did save the finished Inazuma Act III poster on my google drive. It's a bit old, but here it is, Anon

Sure, go ahead! I'd like to see it too ^ ^

Imagine if we open the place under the Time and Wind island, there's a bunch of cecilias that are frozen in time inside and trying to pick them up puts them on the quest item inventory, but they disappear and go back to the original place if you try to leave the island

What if the eyes are like the Traveller Twins' wings except more organic and feathery at the edges

Also, have you ever noticed that in every visual depiction of Barbatos, his eyes are closed

Oooh you do make interesting points!

Not to mention, there's the whole Primordial Human Project Rhinedottir had going on, with her using the 4 pointed star as a mark of her success

The timeline also more or less matches up with how after the skyfrost nail fell and the heavens went silent to Sal Vindagnyr's pleas, its scribe mentions how there are people creating Khaenri'ah at the time

Another thing I'd like to add in support of the last part is that Khaenri'ah's curse and subsequent destruction could also be like a mirror to what happened to King Deshret's kingdom except on a much, much larger scale where the whole of Teyvat got involved, alongside the rogue experiments from Gold adding in to the chaos. With how a similar thing might have almost happened to Enkanomiya if not for Orobashi taking on the punishment for knowing, the forbidden knowledge may very well have something to do with Teyvat's origins before Celestia too, that which involves Phanes

Well first things first, Genshin lore is like actual real life history in that it's full of unreliable narrators and limited perspectives. Also the world is extensive, so we gotta go specific here even for a summary

But for a general overview of Teyvat:

And of course, this is all very barebones as there's also things going on in each region at the same time, so feel free to ask for lore on more specific things you wanna know

Let's take the family tree position a step back and say the Primordial One is technically Venti's grandparent, since part of them became Istaroth, who in turn has a part becoming Venti

Though it could also be argued that the four shades are simultaneously the Primordial One, so their relationship would be in a kinda lateral sense. Then Istaroth would create Venti and he'll be technically the nephew in this sense

This could get more convoluted, but yeah

I really like the concept of Istaroth as the fourth shade, splitting off from The Primordial One, then Venti splitting off from Istaroth like they're some sort of tree. Like, you cut a branch, plant it, and then it also becomes a tree (or Venti is a seed that sprouted from a silly little Istaroth branch, since he looked like a flower as a wisp, and flowers turn into fruits, which have seeds. He also looks like a fruit. Like a floating spectre. I think). Kinda fits with the "Istaroth is the leyline system itself" theory.

Running off with the tree analogy, I'm personally in the camp of Celestia as The Second Who Came and Venti is a tree in their backyard they found in a wasteland.

(Also, I feel like the Sustainer could have been a shade of The Primordial One too since she sustains the Heavenly Principles, and erosion may possibly be one of those principles. Erosion, something Time and Wind does. Tho all that is still speculation)

Thank you! :D

Okay, so the ending was meant to be open-ended and up for interpretation, but here's what I had in mind while making it:

Basically, in the final verse, it's a callback to how the video started, except this time, it appears to be currently happening as Istaroth makes direct contact with the viewer

The entire video is more or less revealed to have been Istaroth talking about herself and Venti towards the Traveller when she looks in disdain and the subtitle has this final "you" colored in gold, the Traveller's color.

As for the sequence before the final verse, it's mostly a recollection of how things went, ending with Venti eroding the sundial and then going into slumber, returning to Istaroth as represented by the dandelion seed she catches.

Hope this helps ^ ^

JSVDJBSKVF OMG THANKS!!

I mostly tried to do her in a more ambiguous light with a lot of 'probably' considering how she's described as every moment. Dunno how well it was conveyed, but I'm glad you liked it, hehe ^ ^
