#WHERE THE CONSTELLATION THAT FELL BELONGED TO THE GUY THAT INVENTED THEM

The Sumeru glider lore description just makes me think about how it emphasized the divine as an important aspect of Teyvat's natural law. According to all known laws of aviation, the gliders cannot possibly have the ability to glide, and yet they function through the blessing of the Anemo Archon

In Firnas' dream, the Dendro Archon tells a story where the wind tells a story within a story within a story wi- all of them follow a similar structure of (y) telling (x) a story to encourage them. Now, the story in the Sumeru glider is about Firnas wanting to make a glider without the Anemo Archon's blessing, but in the end asks for it anyway because of the looping story driving him up a wall

I find it kind of neat how in Amber's story quest where we get a gliding license, she accidentally gives us the "Wind, Courage, and Wings" storybook. In the Sumeru glider lore, the stories had someone encouraging another. In the storybook, the lesson is that "What you lacked was not wind, but courage."

I'm just throwing this at a wall to see if it sticks, but what if there's a connection between these stories regarding the wind, courage, and wings and Genshin's overarching themes. The endless stories within a story in Firnas' dream only ends when he realizes how the divine is connected to the natural law, and the birds in the storybook relied too heavily on good wind conditions to fly before risking it all and leaping off a stormy cliff

What if these two stories are a sort of foreshadowing to how Teyvat is stuck repeating its history and the only way to truly end it is through both mortals and the divine working together. Mortal engineering cannot overcome its limitations without divine intervention, the birds cannot fly on strong winds alone without taking a leap of courage first, so perhaps one day the "courage" in these stories would be enough to take the people of Teyvat into new heights and weave their own fate

#Idk what I'm saying besides THESE TWO STORIES BOTH HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH WIND COURAGE AND WINGS#anyway wind glider lore is...interesting to say the least#both the text and implications#like take for example the time tunnels where we need to glide when passing through#the anemo particles that come out when deploying the gliders regardless of the character's element#ALSO RECONCILED STARS???#WHERE THE CONSTELLATION THAT FELL BELONGED TO THE GUY THAT INVENTED THEM#AND MADE EVERYONE DREAM ABOUT HIS MEMORIES#AKA THE EVENT WHERE THE WHOLE 'THE SKY IS A LIE' CAME FROM#ALSO THE WHOLE PASSING ON THE TORCH VIA THE WIND GLIDER SO PEOPLE WOULD REACH NEW HEIGHTS IN THE ANIMATION-

A l s o-

I can’t believe I almost forgot about the Inazuma glider lore description where someone mentions how there are two tengus that pair up, one Anemo and one Electro to do the trick with the Galestorm Fan that we use to speed up gliding
