Any corrections and additional info will be added to this comment!
• Apologies in advance for any mispronunciations, I fixed as many as I could.
• In the staff of scarlet sands, it’s said that people can follow the moonlight on the dunes to find their final fate.
• In a 4.4 world quest, Paimon comes off suspicious when asked about if she plays with seelies often. “Ha… sure, played with them…” This could be referencing how the moon sisters were worshiped by the seelie if it isn't hinting at Paimon, herself, being one.
• Paimon could be a reincarnation rather than a weakened version, similar to Neuvillette.
• The Welkin Lady’s bucket also has a triquetra on it. After claiming the primogems, you can also see a flipped upside down triquetra in the top left corner which looks like a more advanced version of Paimon’s.
Me: sees guidelines
Also me: *smirks*
According to source A B and C, Aether and Lumine are actually the same person. They just have severe multi personality disorder
Paimon already admitted to being a Goddess. She bestows element power on the Traveller when he touches the Statues of Seven.
PAIMON IS A FISH SHE CAN BE HOOKED AND REELED IN!?
I tried to look at physical aspects of the moons myself in a video and I can't say that as depicted they are necessarily different moons. All are based off Earth's moon. The open world moon and loading screen moon are most similar. The detail on them are the same with a minor difference being the lighting. The open world is full, and loading screen is a little off full. One possible explanation is the open world moon isn't an astronomical object but a projection of sorts, especially as it is always full. Spiral Abyss moon is also based on Earth's moon but it is rotated and scaled quite differently from the others. Actually, watching this video I see there is a 4th version of a moon in game. The one in the background of Khaenri'ah looks close to Spiral Abyss moon at first glance, but its features aren't placed in exactly the same location. I don't know if these are just lazy asset creation, or if there is a specific lore reason for them to look how they look.
W theory my guy
I like how that line "I don't think gods can cry" didn't age well.
Funny how in so many instances, events and what not, Paimon has been reffered to as a celestial being, whether a God or angel. Literally in the latern rite RN as well haha
I'll do you one better, why is Paimon?
Wow I've never seen that video title before. Such an originality
paimon = pai-moon, pai could refer to "pale" so it could mean pale moon. relatable
I love this theory (and that you have a no-leaks policy—it keeps it fun and honors Hoyo’s work).
This is maybe the best theory I’ve seen yet and I dint see any holes in it.
I may have a piggyback to add to this:
What if the Descenders are the moons… and what if your character (determined by choices) is either the abyssal or celestial moon — your sibling is the other moon?
Doesnt take a genius to guess where Paimon is from
I'm still saying that the Lecter flat out told Traveler that Paimon will betray him one day.
Anyone else notice la vaguelette playing in the background? Just me?
Just think.. One day aether have to return back to from where he came.. But paimon has to stay… One day we will watch their end meet and their seperation.. We r gonna cry a fucking ocean that day
Maybe Paimon fell from one of the sustainer’s smaller portals and landed with the traveler. Clumsy Paimon…
This totally makes more sense than paimon being the primordial one. And I especially like the idea of 3 moons+ sun being the 4 shades considering neuvillette mentioned the shades have devoured each other.
I wonder if that Zhongli and deshret are actually sun's sons.
Aether is the traveler to ease your theory, 0:32 show Lumine fishing our emergency food instead. Okay😂
Joking aside, nice theories as always man.
the voice queen i guess the scene reused some hi3rd assets
Btw, very interesting that Mona even when she was not able to read fate of a Traveller, she still was able to predict some things, like she predicted where Traveller will be and waited there and that Traveller was in danger also, but she was not able to do something even similar with Paimon.
Btw, in the game there are 2 different mentions of Paimon – Paimon and P.A.I.M.O.N., like A.S.I.M.O.N. (Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network), so P.A.I.M.O.N. may be Primordial Algorithm of Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network, but maybe not Paimon herself, but she used this name. Also remember that Archons can "shrink" if they will use too much powers, and powers in Genshin are Knowlage and Memories as we know from Nahida's and Sumeru quests and also from Gouba's event, so maybe Paimon have not remembered her name, like Gouba for example, who do not remember anything from the past, but still was able to recognize Morax, but maybe she used the first name that came to her mind – Primordial Algorithm of Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network – P.A.I.M.O.N. – Paimon….
But I do not think that Paimon is literally one of Moon sisters, connected most likely, but not the one of.
There's a voiceline from the traveler, I don't remember the name but Paimon says that she doesn't know how she's appearing and disappearing but she knows that she can do it. I think it's a proof that Paimon lost her powers before and memories and now she's a small being now
one of the damning pieces of evidence about the moon sisters actually being alive is that we already know istaroth helped people of enka and makoto. both of these happened after they supposedly died, so it appears that irminsul tampering is happening.
i think the frequent references to three in paimons design is meant to tie to the “rule of three is actually four”, because if the three moon sisters are three of the 4 shades, it totally makes sense. the fourth would be the morningstars that the moon sisters love, and may explain the dot on the center of the triquetra. it might also be why paimon has brought it up herself!
Wait! Are you saying I need to take Paimon to Celestia with me to make things right in the world of Teyvat?
Ok I guess I will go dig her out of that trash can I left her in on Penacony and let her tag along. God I thought I was rid of her, woe is me.

All joking aside, interesting video!
the voice is yours?…
I still think Paimon was the Original God/Primodial Onen like her name and the games name suggests, with her being like Nahida regressing in age and losing her memories due to something that happened. But this theory makes as much sense
My personal belief has always been very simple, Paimon's crown is literally on the Genshin logo, Genshin means Original God, therefore Paimon is the Original God.
There are 4 type of moons, if you disregard the actual 3 moons
