Some people think Khaenri’ah worshiped a secret 8th Archon, others think Khaenri’ah was a nation of agnostics. But me? I think Khaenri’ah worshiped Cosmic Horrors.

*NOTES & CORRECTIONS*
– None… yet.
35:50 what if it is the reverse: what if Teyvat is the source material (Daath) and in turns out that the Abyss is Malkuth, the new world trying to emerge, which everyone is trying to prevent…?
Take a break, you've earned it.
Lol I just wanted to let you know, that as my mom was listening in, and she said that you sound like Anne Hathaway.
Hope you find that as good compliment and as something silly.
Either way, love you videos!
Alloy's gonna be the descender who fixes teyvat 🤣
38:30 Maybe it's not each domain is a sephira, but each type of domain could be a sephira: trounce domain, domains of mastery, domains of blessing, domains of forgering, Challenge domains. That's five already.
The Spiral Abyss & the Imaginarium theatre are also liste as domains, if needed.
Khanreih ❌
Sumeru's Night Kingdom ✅
I’ve been waited for an Ashikai update on Capitano
I miss the recap :<
Love the theories!
Btw what is the BGM that plays around 37:00 ? It gave me goosebumps while listening to the theory 😮
I know we joke about ‘babe wake up x person just posted’ but the way I literally go shake my boyfriend awake so we can watch ashi’s lore theory videos
Traveller be like, "OKANE KASEGU ORERA WA STAR"
Multiple underground night kingdoms, this game reminds me so much of Elden Ring
This comment section is as much eye opening as this video. You , your video and your community are awesome.
Ashikai really cooked with this one!
hmm,
Teyvat > leylines > loom of fate > affect reality
Natlan > night kingdom > nightwind tribe fabric weaving > nightwind people painting object summoning
Coincidence, maybe not
I love how passionate you are about this game your videos are always 10/10 I love them so much <3
Aloy is pretty much a descender isn't she? Not just in the sense that she is a visitor from a different world to Teyvat, but in the sense that she has a will to create a world, because Elizabet Sobeck did create Gaia, and Aloy was created to enact Elizabet's will in the future world. Aloy is akin to traveler, who is a copy of a previous descender….Oh my god Ashikai what have you done?
Something else that really stood out to me in regards to the World Formula/Tree of Life (and thus the loom of fate) being designed to convert infinite into finite, as a whole the concept is very similar to Imaginary Normalization, something Kiana was able to do over in HI3 during Thus Spoke Apocalypse, resulting in Otto being able to make a new branch reality. Really makes me wonder if Khaenri'ah's plan to create a new world with the loom is actually a form of Imaginary Normalization, and they seek to create an entirely new branch reality to inhabit, free from Celestia. Awesome theory as usual Ashikai!
So could this mean that egeira the heart of the abyss from the hydro soverign focalors are basicaly evil maybe
So thats where focalors divinity went makes sene it was sent to da ath similar to death or hell
Yup focalors divinity sure aint coming back after hearing this cuz if furina were to gain that power back some how the prohecey would start up all over again
I don't know if you've read Fate, but the "primordial nothingness/chaos" stuff feels so much like like the "The Root" in Fate lore and knowing Hoyo loves Fate (even having a collab with HSR) they might have taken a lot of inspiration from the "The Root" might be worth looking into if you ever find the time XD
Also "Khemia" etc. in Genshin all in a way are trying to reach "The Root" and be able to control it properly which is like the True Magic in typemoon world Rhinedottir is obviously the one that has come the closest to achieving it and tbh Albedo being her perfect creation makes sense because he is fully free to do whatever he wants after being created or more like brought into being through Khemia from the "Abyss" / "The Root" because he has free will and he can do whatever he wants with his life
sorry for spamming I am just a little drunk and I love brainstorming lore while durnk XD
kaeya being seemingly aware of the narrative (fate) and making allusions to it at every turn is even more suspicious now—- kaeya just keeps racking up lore like it's a competition
Now if only Aloy was allowed to have her own constellation
41:05 So mathematically hoyoverse is just a fractral , reiterating itself over and over never to expand byound the boundaries but starting from a new point to creat itself. Makes sense why they make infinite money.
