#addendum i still think it's crazy we (in game) got to see someone receive a vision in real time right in front of the traveler's eyes

[welcometoteyvat]

For the ask game,

Teyvat, Archon, Venti, and Freedom?

thank you for the ask!!

teyvat: which released region do you prefer and which unreleased nation are you most looking forward to visiting?

for released regions, liyue ofc; there's no way I wouldn't love a fantasy China and the favoritism mihoyo gives it in game goes a long way too lol. the events are super endearing (lantern rite cutscenes hello????) and the landscape is so yellowy autumn (favorite season) <33

aboveground chasm is probably my favorite subregion b/c of the colors the absolutely banger soundtrack and two very good archon quests (shoutout to perilous trail and dainsleif halfdan!!!!!)

Unreleased: honestly, probably Fontaine, I'm afraid of what's gonna happen with Natlan and Snezhnaya just makes me think of sheer cold 😖 sorry Childe I'll visit your hometown another day. I'm actually pretty excited about whatever water mechanics they're going to put in, swimming/diving would be dope lol like we get to go underwater there?? no more waverider?? hell yeah

archon: which nation’s known ‘ideal’ do you like the most: freedom, contracts, eternity, wisdom, justice, or war?

maybe eternity.. I feel like the archon ideals are always like "they appear to represent xyz at first, but actually..." and then they subvert that first impression, so I like makoto and yoimiya's interpretation of eternity and its counterpart transience :3 the whole thing about an eternal moment and keeping forever in your memories was a nice spin on the textbook definition of eternity. also I just really like the idea of the past as a place that you can't go back to

venti: which character(s) do you think you’d actually get along with if you were to meet in person and who do you think you’d actually dislike interacting with?

would smack xingqiu over the head with a book if I met him, I like him but dear lord his dynamic with chongyun makes me want to throw him off a cliff (<- person who hates practical jokes where the complaints of the person being pranked aren't taken seriously OTL)

if xiao decides to constantly be a downer while we're just chilling I would also dislike interacting with him (not his fault he's always pessimistic but man,,,,, get some therapy)

characters I would get along with.. yoimiya or tighnari? yoimiya is a talker which means that even if I can't make small talk she can, and idm people who can talk my ear off <3 tighnari because he's straightforward but no-nonsense, also touches grass and knows a lot about plants what more could someone want

other candidates would be shinobu (I feel like she's straightforward with her intentions and we could just hang out) and chongyun (simply because if we didn't get along I would be incredibly sad)

freedom: if you were blessed with a vision, which one would you want to have (and which one do you think you’d actually get)?

goodness I have no clue. in every version of reality I don't think I'd get a vision at all, hydro might be useful because water, probably would get either electro or dendro though
