  1. i think that maybe lumine kept aether asleep and kept him safe and concealed, frozen in time, so she can fix the world.. i think lumine fought in the great war and made a contract with zhongli to keep her history a secret.. just a fan theory tho

  2. People keep questioning me on why i keep insisting on maining Lumine when there are more powerful and cooler units. Why don't they realize that Lumine (Traveller) is the most interesting character in the game. Also she's like the prettiest character in the game, no other character oozes the same aura as her

  3. my hc is that the sustainer left the siblings alive so they can sort the shit they can't/don't want to get involved. They tried w/ the Abyss Twin first to sort Khaenri'ah and now with the Traveler to sort Snezhnaya. P.S. i haven't seen the whole video so idk if this is something aster mentions or not…

  4. I have always thought that the ace up Celestia's sleeve has been the 2 twins, the first set him free exactly at the time and place to join the abyss and the other to help the archons, although it is still difficult to know the truth. reason that put the twin with the abyss, the second is very clear, which is to help the archons with their problems so that they prepare and not repeat the mistake of the last time.

    I still don't know why the twin will help the archons, since the only thing that is known is that the order will start the war again.

    but there is something clear Dainslief will turn against us.

  5. But we don't know Phanes is actually the current ruler of Celestia. Cuz Phanes cares for both gods and humans and sees them as equals but he had high hope for humanity. While Celestia in general wishes to end humankind and most gods are suffering. My guess the second throne is the current ruler of Celestia who caused the chaos. If Phanes is the current ruler of teyvat the Archon war would never happen.

  6. i want to know only 2 things about travelers.
    1 why they don't age…
    2 how can they travel through space, what kind of power to they have? and why are they considered humans and not gods with those powers. (its more than 2 i know XD)

  7. I have a huge hunch that Lumine was not the first to wake up, but was Aether. They might actually be in this world (not in Teyvat but in the Abyssal side of the world where Irminsul lies). Pretty much just like how Lumine would start her life here, Aether did a journey without her sister (Probably looking for her) where somepoint in time Aether managed to create an entire nation to make this world a habitable places for people from Earth, that's contaminated by Honkai, can go to. Which is Project ARK's goal. Sometime later tried to marry a Seelie (Previous Paimon) without knowing the consequences. The sustainer of heavenly principles probably is Aether's journey companion. Aether created the Celestia and probably is Primordial One. Again, no basis, just pure huge hunch.

  8. In Before Sun and Moon, the gardener says that the new tree would take 500 years to grow, but the priest (Istaroth reincarnation) made it grow in a second.
    This also happened in Inazuma, with the Narukami tree.
    What if Aether and Lumine are two seeds of stories that are supposed to grow in time?
    It doesn't make sense for MC to be sitting around/sleeping for 500 years: where were they sleeping? Why didn't they die of starvation? It just doesn't make sense.
    MC sibling didn't wait around for 500 years, she simply was sent 500 years in the future, while Abyss sibling was sent to travel first.

    Also, the Travelers both have a slight glow to them and Phanes' shades were said to glow.
    Maybe Lumine and Aether are the reincarnation of Phanes in two bodies?

    Sustainer/Asmoday: I read recently that Asmodeus challenged Solomon, Solomon won and as punishment put him in a BOX of stone, shut with CHAINS and threw it in the sea. Also Asmodeus has fire related skills.
    This can be verified in the devices we find in one of the desert pyramids: they seem to emit little boxes similar to the ones Sustainer used, and they give us fire damage

  9. I just noticed that at 1:25 Aether summons his sword with his left hand before tossing it to his right hand. Does that mean theoretically Aether can also use his left hand? He could be right handed but trained to use his left hand while Lumine is true ambidextrous. I mean why summon the sword with his left if he gonna just toss it to his right in a potentially dangerous fight?

  10. One thing I've been wondering for quite a while now is, why we started from where we started?. It's kinda questionable since if they were in fact heading to Mondstadt, they already went past it. The other possible speculation is they were from some kind of island but no boats can be seen where we started.

  11. My only question lies with Venti's voice line and that fact also with the Genshin manga. Venti said, "Ah, Traveler, we meet again! What? You don't remember me?". In the manga, you can see Aether's body behind Venti. We can confirm that it's a couple of years after Vanessa went up to Celestia because in the manga Venti said (to the Aether) " She's still keeping watch over Mondstadt after all these years. Now I wonder if the world became a little bit stronger. She always hoped to see that"

    So somewhere the traveler woke up earlier but then somehow lost their memories once again?

    Also another thing to add is that Venti absolutely hates Celestia and refuses to go back up there.

  12. 8:34 It is the Sustainer. The Japanese translation for that particular text refers to the 'keeper' as 'Chouteisha'. The Sustainer's full title in Japanese is 'Tenri no Chouteisha'. Dainsleif is the Bough Keeper, but his title in Japanese is 'The intersection of the past and the future'. Admittedly Japanese is not the main language of this game, but the Japanese localization had been quite faithful to the original Chinese. If it turns out Dainsleif was one of Isharoth's shades tho, how would that play out I wonder.

  13. I think both travellers arrived at the present day but when they leave the gods mistake that they are 2 human steal the light element from Teyvat which weaken it. The god send 1 back in time where the chaos element erupt (kanrea) in hope that the light and chaos cancelled each other while left 1 in the present for back up.

  14. (SPOILER) LEAKED VOICE LINE FROM NAHIDA

    Rough translations from chinese

    As Nahida is in a confrontation with Dottore, he demands the gnoses, however she says that "The heavenly principles have been dormant/sleeping for very long now (explains why Tsaritsa is planning her rebellion now) and that the gnoses are a sign of/an assertion of their power and control over Teyvat. But would the destruction of a gnosis be enough to get their attention?"

    So essentially Celestia is dormant, and that explains how Tsaritsa is able to do all her shenanigans without getting a nail as a present from Celestia. Another voice line (cannot be verified 100%) is that Rukkadehavata did not go Khaenri'ah. Will update this comment for accuracy when needed.

  15. 1) same question could be asked of why scheme for 500 years for kamisato ayato to create a separate timeline, trading his life for that of greater lord rukkhadevata's survival

    2) there has long been suspicions regarding the invasion of the second who came. The primordial one didn't win, the second did. Otherwise why leave enkanomiya alone to the savagery of the vishaps??? Why destroy sal vindagnir and the chasm nameless ruin???

  16. My question is how did the traveller slept for 500 years?

    Like they just landed on a place in teyvat and slept there for 500 years? If so, how come people didn't took notice of there body lying around for that long time? 🤣

  17. I've a question. What did Traveler and Paimon take two weeks to head to Mondstadt when they were just at Starfell lake? Something about the Traveler fishing up Paimon just doesn't make sense.

  18. What if the ruler would be the Abyss Twin. Like royalty? But as celestian gods? That's why they're practically being trained for the role to rule. Meanwhile the Traveler Twin is secretly being trained to be their Abyss twin's knight/advisor? Already devoted to their journey of finding their sibling. Turn that into unfaltering loyalty to their twin then boom! Imagine they replace the Sustainer. What a plot twist that would be! What we were aiming to take down in the very beginning becomes who we are. It would be poetic, either way.
