The eye thing is interesting because I made a diagram of Teyvat and the planet it’s on based on what we know, and it looked like a massive eyeball with Teyvat itself being the iris, the firmament being the cornea, and the blood vessels permeating the eye being Irminsul. As Khaenri’ah is frequently described as having a sky, moons, access to the Abyss (outer space?), and is often symbolized with upside down structures, I interpreted it as being on the surface, but on the other side of the planet (assumed to be underground because the people of Teyvat likely dug there). This would correspond with the fovea, or the blind spot of the eye. “Where the gods’ gaze does not fall”.

Gopher Wood was used in the construction of Noah's Ark, God told Noah to build it specifically from gopher wood as it would be sturdy enough to withstand the flood waters that God would bring down upon the world when he destroyed it. Symbolically Gopher Wood's name is meant to be that he will ferry them into a new paradise.

19:30 this also explains why Miko and Ei were talking about another war coming to Inazuma, because the same way Fontaine infringed the Heavenly Principles with Focalors giving the authority back to the dragon, Ei and Makoto did the same creating a "new Irminsul" for Inazuma. All of this happened after the cataclysm, when the Heavenly Principles already was inactive, so they faced no consequences yet, but they will. What you said in the end of the video, about the Fatui goal of burning the Irminsul, i'm thinking the exact same thing since i finished the quest... Tsaritsa already knows the concept of Loom Of Fate, observing and collecting info about what happened in Remuria, Sumeru Desert, Khaenri'ah, Fontaine and Inazuma, and instead of create her own, she wants to destroy Celestia's Loom Of Fate. All tries to disconect people from their fate, creating a new one, at least until now, failled and their fate reached them in the end. So, what will happen if we simply destroy what control their fate in the first place? Considering the amount of relation the Fatui and the Abyss Order (Khaenri'ah) have, they could be working together, or one knows other goals, and will try to use it for it's own purpose.

I skipped all the text because it was way too much. Glad you posted this video, really appreciate it! Gonna watch it later while having lunch! 😊

Wow this is a very bad explanation.

Now everything makes sense dude

Adding in some inspo from the 4.0+ videos: ........... the gods have a will greater that the humans so they also help keep the buble from being thrown into chaos

Apep is still alive so I dont think the Sumeru sovereigh god making up Sumeru's land that you mentioned in the video is correct.

This theory has become even more plausible with the recent leaks

I HAVE SOMETHING ID LIKE TO SAY!!! In 18:31 (idk how to timestamp), at the moment I was thinking you (Ashikai) were going to use the Oratrice Mechanique D'analyse Cardinale instead. Because think about it, Focalors is THE TETHER, The Hydro Gnosis is THE POWER SOURCE, and trial things that fed into The Oratrice thingy is THE POWER SOURCE. This led to change of FATE. It may be a stretch but it's also possible.

There is a suspicious amount of ttyd music in this video

Now that i think about it in aranara quest, the aranara uses memory as their power, more memory = more power? Ps. Rest in peace arama, you will be remembered.

@Ashikai If the peanut butter thingy video isn't already uploaded, i kindly request it be uploaded as soon as possible. Thank you.

When you said visions/gnosis were fragments of the 3rd descender i was like hold up, we are (The traveler) the 3rd descender as Nahida tells us during her story quest kinda wanna know what ur thoughts on that

Tysm for making a lore video on ZZZ, I was completely disinterested in it but I am now genuinely excited for where this game's story could go. Definitely gonna at least try it out

Hoyo rewriting their plans cause it's such a good theory

3:58 So like, get all the elements of teyvat and you gain the ability to alter fate. MC sibling is classified as a descender because they have the very potential to do this. I’m guessing the abyss sibling needs a loom of fate to do this because they didn’t go around collecting the elements, and where never classified as having the will to shake the entire world. Edit: PLEASE HOYO JUST MAKE MC POWERFUL IM BEGGING YOU HE’S SHOWN TO BE SO WEAK IN THE STORY AND HIS GAMEPLAY IS ASS

mapping out the whole video: the adventurer’s guild was founded by the hexenzirkel, whose goal is to explore and gather information on teyvat. the hexenzirkel does this through investigating irminsul. this is what has been discovered so far on it: > irminsul contains memories and elemental energy this was proven during the event “unreconciled stars”, where a meteorite from a constellation fell onto teyvat. the meteorite resembles a knowledge capsule, which is essentially a miniature irminsul containing a dream. > forbidden knowledge is “data” that has been erased by irminsul, which comes from the abyss pollution = the withering zones that go berserk from energy and data corruption = the data has been scrambled causing it to malfunction > the abyss is the irminsul’s “recycling bin” knowledge taken from the abyss is forbidden knowledge, which in turn corrupt and pollute information. this is backed up by two events: 1. king deshret trying to recover the goddess of flowers after her passing through getting her data in the abyss, thus corrupting himself and his land 2. in rhindottir’s research, she took forbidden knowledge out of the abyss to create the primordial human, and in the process, led khaenri’ah to turn into hilichurls. for this reason, celestia forbid them from joining the life and death cycle to prevent irminsul from being corrupted > the abyss order plans to recover khaenri’ah from the abyss dainsleif’s element is “nothing”, because it is corrupted from forbidden knowledge. if they can recover khaenri’ah, they can recover primordial data, such as lumine and aether’s home that has been erased (they originate from teyvat, but because their origins were erased, they are considered descenders)

Seriously, thank yooou a million for always breaking down the stories!! My brain cannot brain sometimes and I get lost lol!

Man i hate that those event arent permanent , i started playing the game in 2.8 so i missed those

the fact I'm watching this on Opera GX

This is the first video I've seen of cut scenes for wise every youtuber choose belle 😞, his expressions are so silly definitely choosing him now👨‍💻

3:01 basically backrooms okay

Many have forgotten Genshin is still one of the many key collective stories within the Honkaiverse, where all of their games have the same overall theme of overcoming fate/repeated cycles. The idea of a new fate for each region by overcoming the set orders/cycles is similar to Elysia cutting the threads of fate of Earth's samsara cycle initiated by Finality, allowing the current era to at least fight back. In part 2, each of the bubble universes in Mars have their own Anchor, which keeps them from dissolving within the Sea of Data. The layers of the bubble universe, which either support/crumble each other is similar to the different layers of Teyvat, a leak might lead to a total change.

if the sacred sakura is a loom, then that means the frostbearing tree, amrita pool, tree of dreams, and fountain of lucine are looms as well

CRACK THEORY, the falling stars event early in the game, where a constillation broke and scaramuche did fake tehyvat theory, that was BECAUSE OF THE STOLEN VENTI STATUE. It would mess up a reflected constilation! when we get the rest of mondstadt i bet this is a thing.

Initial reaction: I suspect Caribert's loom transcends time. Now its complete, it has been active for all of time. maybe. memories=reality but in the past, and it changes all memories, ergo changes the past, we cannot expect it to only affect events moving forward. 7:40 I thought you had already called that. Are the constilations on the leylines on the ground? I suppose you didn't think teleporters or whatever, but I assumed it was all connected from your other videos. It's really cool to see it drawn up, though! 8:50 with the previous point, I dont think your assertion that the heavens controlls the mega irmansul is correct? I would not call celestias "loom" a tree, if it is the mechanics pinning and controlling leylines (statues and teleporters) that allow celestia this control their loom is ARTIFICIAL, where as nahida's loom (irmansul) is a NATURAL loom. Think like, bonsai with a tree, or grafting and moving branches around. Celestia's teleporters and archon statues are the sticks pulling the branches to grow in the shape celestia desires. @Ashikai 21:00 THIS. THEY traveled the world already! i have been commenting this on various posts for ahwile now, but the siblings were LEAVING at the start of the game. We might be supposed to recognize zhongli, or perhaps were around for the moon sisters or primordial one. Its wierd this world is new to our protagonist. if it is. MC lies about their name, thats why we type something at the beginning but there still lumine and aether when it matters. Lumine and aether might even be recognizable names in the history, and we just havent had anyone mention that yet because our MC didnt tell anyone their name. Lastly, the Araranara cave was not tampered with. We can confirm that when the siblings sealed the hole in the ground and did all that stuff, they were walking the same path as we are now. Dain's memory may have been tampered with, on the other hand, but the Araranara preserved their story by painting a gold nara, making it one of the only foolproof peices of evidence of the siblings SECOND journey. (they traveled with MC before the events of the games opening choice together). Those, coded khanrian stuff, storytales from hexen, and whatever method the fatui have of holding scaramuche's seat. I suspect Venti's position as a BARD and the hexen's methodology arent unrelated. This is further evidence of archons, including rukkevata, resisting tampering prior to the current loom.

sorry offtopic but does anyone knows the answer for this or have any theories- ei didn’t want inazuma’s fate to be similar as khanriah so she took away visions or people’s ambition in some way but she also cut inazuma’s ties with celestia, doesn’t it put inazuma and ei under celestia’s radar as they would try to reestablish order so what was ei’s motivation behind vision hunt?

I'm now thoroughly of the mind that the Traveler is both a loving shooting star AND a psycopomp. We've seen and helped so many characters pass on or find peace in so many different ways.

This patch made me feel like an idiot... i am not catching any of those "balls"... until now... Oh.. but whose the one who betrayed the Family? Is there something i still don't understand because Gopher said it was not him who activated it... or should i not take it at face value?

10:57 hell yeah, Aventurine deserves the special attention!! He really is such a great character and this chunk of the Penacony quest was such a fantastic introduction to him even if the rest of it just sort of...forgot he existed

38:42 wait why was there a risk of him dying at all? Wasnt that within a dream?? Im so lost about whats real and whats not 😢

31:19 oh damn...i never noticed the wing clipping, thats...really dark when you think about how likely it is that the person who did the metaphorical clipping was Gopher aka the man who essentially raised Robin and Sunday...

18:28 i love how we have NO IDEA why a Knight of Beauty is capable of rescuing someone from a situation that insane and tangled up in various paths and functions of the universe itseld 😅 Like, it makes no sense that being a follower of Idrila specifically would benefit someone in that area, so is it just a matter of strength? Is Argenti stronger than one of the Stonehearts with his Cornerstone in pieces but still on hand and clearly able to provide a significant amount of power judging by that bossfight??

7:55 oh...yeah, that WAS an accident, wasnt it? So...what was Sparkle ACTUALLY hoping to accomplish by knocking us out there?! Do we ever get any idea of her agenda in this???

You are an absolute GODSEND! Theres SO MUCH of the early part that i didnt remember when it got called back and now i kind of feel like id have had a better experience playibg the whole thing in one go instead of spread across several months 😅 Not to mention theres exposition dumps that just left me confused instead of clarified, getting thise points laid out better makes such a difference, like what the "murder victims" were all about if the scary meme doing the killing was actually a glorified taxi 😅

This video had no business going this hard. 😂 I damn near shed a tear. Bravo, honestly.

First time watching your video and I hate to say it since I'm sure you've gotten it a ton already but you sound like the watchmojo girl... forgive me please T.T

OK so many points in this video blew my mind. Lots of connections I didn't realize but makes so much sense. I hope this was all intentional by mihoyo and not some random coincidence. I love watching these!

Penacony is so complex even after watching the video im still confused 😭 i have some questions so can anyone answer them: did we entered the dream right after making the very first warp jump, when we first see Acheron she was already awake from enas dream and if firefly was the first to wake up does that mean that she was already awake when we meet Acheron, does everything that we see in the quests while were in enas dream is just the mcs dream and that everyone had their own versions of it, did sunday already succed in his plan when we first arrive in penacony and that everything we see is after we lost to him( bs said that we were defeated so idk) i think its everything thank you 😭😭😭

From this archon quest what I got from it is that Aether and lumine are not related I first had this thought back in sumeru when we were told Aether was a descender and lumine belongs to this world and this archon only helped this thought lumine said that when she finished traveling this world that she saw their homeland’s flowers and Nahida told us that lumine belonged to this world now in Fontaine even furina herself said that Aether was just a spectator in the grand scheme of Genshin and she’s right Aether is just a spectator and if Aether in furina’s words is a Spector and when we found out Aether was descender and lumine belonged to this world which brings the question how could someone who belongs to teyvat be related to someone is not of the world of teyvat which can only mean that Aether and lumine are not related by blood atleast

Totally missed a joke at the start about everything being *woven* together. For shame, pun queen. For shame. ;) ❤ Love the videos you do.

in the video about Istaroth you mentioned something about a loom. could it be the loom of fate?

well now that the 'loom of fate is complete' hum

i think it would be really great if ashikai could create a knowledge graph of the current genshin lores and theories. and then as the story goes, we can try to connect new knowledge or revise the old ones

Kaeya loom of fate era when???

now with boothill being released, in his character story, you can see that he had a family and an adoptive daughter on his home planet. then i was bombed by the IPC, specifically led by Oswaldo Schneider. And if you remember, Oswaldo Schneider was the person in charge of the Katican-Avgin war, which the IPC was responsible for protecting Avgins. This event leading Aventurine to become the only Avgin left alive and him directly becoming a slave. And in Aven's words in 2.3, their departments are famous for their feuds (to clarify: Aven's department vs Oswaldo's department). And not only that, but the Stonehearts are all not that close. Or at least it's more like they all have their own agendas and it is known that they will leave this all behind for their goals one day. Aventurine himself is only in the IPC because he managed to scam them SO hard, he actually posed a threat to them. In his character stories, you can also know that he was very conflicted to be promoted, the people he cared for all suffered and none of them exist anymore. He was even called by Jade "You're the last lucky dog." To me, it sounds like he still hates the IPC and he's staying as one of the gems for a larger plan. I hope he betrays the IPC and then he truly get tested on whether or not his luck is endless. anyways long explanation, I think not only will Aventurine help Boothill bc they're similar, but I think if they work together, it'll be the start of Aventurine's betrayal of the IPC. Afterall, the IPC f*cked him over from the start, I don't think he truly has any loyalty to them. They absolutely ruined his life, and he's one of their top officials? Oh yeah, someone is getting double crossed here one day

why does this seem like a honkai impace repeat ?

The hilichurl curse not having a sleeping aspect kind of reminded me of the interpretation of Snow White's curse in OUaT where the entirety of her time in the enchanted sleep her mind was trapped in a hellscape. Being a hilichurl kind of reflects that tortured existence
