We’re going back to revisit some old story points. There’s still many unanswered questions surrounding the experiment in Sumeru, and, I think it’s time I finally put out some answers.

One writer in Ao3, (One mark, Two souls, Three betrayals) has this story that contains what-if the Gnosis experiment had succeeded. Dottore explained that the automaton/Shouki-no-Kami uses Scaramouche as a temporary power source to drain life from, while the Electro Gnosis is it's temporary battery in it's chest. The longer Scara resided in the machine, the further it drained his power, and in Irminsul, the Balladeer barely had any divine power left in him. This makes sense, because if Scara were fully a god, he wouldn't be so cooperative with the Tsarista, he'd be too much of a threat to the Fatui otherwise. He would've caused Sumeru to wage war with Snezhnaya, which I doubt the Cryo Archon has the patience for. The experiment gets rid of Scaramouche as a threat, and it benefits the Fatui with a powerful super-weapon with absolute obedience to them.
From the way the wires clung to the Balladeer's back, that is pretty sus if you ask me. What's frightening is that when the Balladeer discovered this 'truth' in Irminsul, he wasn't mad at the possibility of dying from it, he was mostly mad at Dottore for deceiving him, so if the Doctor had been truthful from the start about what ascending as a artificial god would cost him, I think Scaramouche would've went through with it completely with no hesitation, because he doesn't care about himself, he just wants to find some purpose and utility that makes him a useful tool to the world. He will literally kill himself for it, and this is proven in Irminsul.
What if the Shouki-no-Kami was supposed to be a vessel for the 3rd Descender? Or at least, it's merely a prototype for the real project of bringing back the 3rd Descender.
greeeeat video!!
DADDY DOTTORE CONTENT LESSGOOOO
2:01 I can answer its simple I’m the second strongest person in teyvat and can destroy the god if I wanted too so yeah I’d assume that’s what dottore was thinking when Nahida said that
Just a random thought about the Akasha system and memory collecting goal:
What if it's goal is to actually control people like that first time we encountered dottore?
.
If their main goal is to create a god powerful enough on their side using the gnosis / 3rd descender remains, that god's power would depend on people's faith.
.
Which as a new god, people will have their doubts and will take time to actually gain their trust.
And what better, fastest way to do so than changing peoples' perception through a hive's mind brainwashing system?
such a cool video! i love all this theories that circling around Dottie, he is absolutely amazing char, i hope he'll be playable💉
Great video!!!
Wouldn’t you think if he had a “regular” god with one gnosis, what would happen if Docttore created a god with 7 gnosis? So how would the Tsaritsa even begin to control a god created from 7 gnosss?
About the divinity that Nahida couldn't feel in Scaramouche I have a speculation. In Fontaine when Focalors wanted to get around the prophesy, it wasn't her human nor oceanid form that Neuvillette saw at her execution. It was her divinity, the "heavenly throne" of the hydro archon. That's why she can switch between pneuma and ousia after her "death", one is her human part another is the oceanid part, while her "archonhood" is lost. So, Nahida didn't sense divinity in Scaramouche because he wasn't an archon, yet he could very well be a god at that time. I hope, it makes sense.
The first time we meet scaramouch, i think him figuring out the sky is fake was a test by dottorre to see how well he can handle divine knowledge
Minor but important point: the notes say "causal" relationship, not "casual."
I will be honest. I actually thought that Dottore was secretly the Third Descender. Considering all the experiments, the segments of himself, and the amount of knowledge he had that he shouldn't normally have access to. Also? What is spoken to Nahida but we don't know about…it had definitely something to do with the Descenders, considering what she talks to us about after all is said and done.
It just gave me the vibes that maybe the Third Descender was staring at us for a while now. That he didn't die…but hopped bodies.
I wonder if the tree burning was more a metaphor for destruction. I forgot in part what my exct thoughts were but I guess I question whether the tree visual was meant to actually happen or if weve already uncovered it. Like nahidas story on wanderer. In it there is a forrest blazing burning. While irminsul is THE tree shown what if its more visual omen, that one who is known to cause detruction was going to take action and it would affect the ley lines and the whole world?
In part like we are not waiting for that to happen cause the events and things they pertained to already did.
the mech's elemental abilities could just be using advanced experimental tech based on the skirmishers' gear and weapons. those guys don't use delusions, i think.
