I look at Coralie 6626 Planck and think fondly, "this girl was absolutely raised by Einstein".

And then I also look at Coralie 6626 Planck and think, with both amusement and occasional abject terror, "this girl was absolutely raised by Tesla".

Or, in which a sketch to celebrate Part 2 coming out soon.

I saw William Kentridge’s The Refusal of Time (2012) at SFMoMA in 2016 and went back several times to take friends there to see it too. Here’s an interview with him on the Louisiana Channel about the installation:

How can we get a hold of time with our body and mind? This question is the crux of South African artist William Kentridge’s immersive installation ’The Refusal of Time.’ Join the artist for a detailed tour of his pulsing, breathtaking work. ‘The Refusal of Time,’ 2012, is an immersive installation and a meditation on time, space and the complex legacies of colonialism and industry. A multi layered work packed to the brim with references - to early cinematic history, and the science and philosophy of time and images - the work combines visually seductive imagery, sculptural objects, megaphones and sound. ”It’s not a scientific lesson in time,” explains the artist. “But it uses the metaphors scientists use when they’re doing their deepest thinking about time.” Therefore references to Einstein’s theory of relativity and figures like black holes - “a space in which everything disappears, a way of talking about death” - feature throughout the work. Kentridge uses cinema as ”an artistic, mechanical and optical means of playing with time,” to show time materialized. Cinema can slow time down, replay it, hold it, run it backwards, and by employing these techniques of making time visible, the work shows time, and essentially the trudge of a human life, as “a series of predictable, unremarkable actions that continue until we are worn out.” But within that frame there are also refusals says Kentridge. “Those moments of coherence, of understanding and changing the world, which is the most we can hope for.” Fragmented and futile in its story telling, ‘The Refusal of Time’ also references the painful histories of colonial wars and anti-colonial revolts in the context of time. In the colonial era the imposition of European time in the colonies was a means of control, Kentridge explains. “The resistance towards time became a metaphor for other kinds of resistance towards other forms of political control.” “In the end” – the artist says polemically – ”the project isn’t really about time. It’s much more about to what extent do we escape our fate? To what extent are we heading towards our fate whether we like it or not? Can we change the world on our way or is this all illusory?” William Kentridge (b. 1955) is a South African filmmaker, draughtsman, and sculptor. He has produced both animation, set design and sculpture as directing operas at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, USA, and the Royal Opera House in London, UK. His work has been shown around the world, e.g. at dOKUMENTA 10, 11 and 13 Kassel, Germany, the 1999 Venice Biennial, Italy, the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA, the Louvre, Paris, France, and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark. Kentridge’s work is held in numerous private collections worldwide and he is the recipient of many prestigious awards such as the 1999 Carnegie Medal, the 2010 Kyoto Prize and the 2013 Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres. William Kentridge's installation 'The Refusal of Time' is a collaboration with composer Philip Miller, filmmaker Catherine Meyburgh & Peter Galison, professor of the history of science and of physics at Harvard University. The work is part of the exhibition ’Thick Time’, at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, 16 February – 18 June, 2017. William Kentridge’s installation is also part of the Louisiana Collection. This video also features extracts from 'Making Time', 2011, a film about the making of 'The Refusal of Time', filmed and edited by Catherine Meyburgh. William Kentridge was interviewed Christian Lund in the installation of ‘The Refusal of Time’, at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, in February 2017.

how the hi3 lore reveal goes actually

[civettictis]

It's 3:45am and I'm laughing at the image of Tesla and Einstein trying to show Schrodinger how to use a computer after she leaves the SoQ and her just squinting at it in confusion like an old lady asking what a google is.

[mini-ism]

how willing joachim was to give away the core of reason just kinda speaks volumes as to how he wishes to “honor” joyces legacy but like, he was a child… despite the responsibility thrown onto him before he was ten, he finds a way to uphold the legacy of joyce and operate anti entropy but at the cost of his free will and perhaps even his individuality……. he continues to avoid the mistakes of the past (and therefore let it all happen again) by refusing to alter the future…………. he doesnt tell the truth because he is afraid of what will come of it…. welt exemplifying himself as “humanity” sort of proves how stupid people can be by being so adverse to the pain they had once experienced and yet putting themselves through it again unintentionally because they never changed anything about it. and he will never outrun joyce so long as he has the core or the star of eden…. joachim cannot be free until he dies in his own eyes because he is not joachim, he is welt yang…. and he is so suicidal and self sacrificial because when he dies he will no longer have to be the living representation of humanity or the continuation of joyce….

or maybe hoyo just wanted the silly haha to happen

joachim and tesla's friendship is so very dear to my heart. she should also Not be around kids

Chapter 6/Coralie Death Analysis

What I like about Coralie's death is that it manages to be unexpected, and yet cleverly foreshadowed during the events of Chapter 5 and Chapter 6. The writers try to make you believe that it's Helia who's going to die due to her willingness to "put her life on the line" to ensure the mission's success, and how she feels so inferior to everyone else because she has to work 10 times harder due to her lack of Honkai adaptability. But in the end, Coralie is the one who dies. The same Coralie who was angry when Helia said that they should put their lives on the line for the sake of the mission, the same Coralie who couldn't finish reviewing the records of Dreamseeker's dream because so many people died unnecessarily...I could go on. First of all, I'd like to start with how even if Coralie ends up coming back, the feelings that came about as a result of her death are still very real. The people close to Coralie are going to feel immense sadness because, as far as they're concerned, Coralie is currently dead, and nothing can change that for now. Helia already has terrible self-esteem because she keeps comparing herself to Durandal of all people. Ein has already lost Planck, Joyce, and Karl (they sure like making her suffer smh). The grief felt in the moment when the news was delivered to them will not magically disappear. Now, whether or not defeating Litost and winning the Ten Shus War will somehow change that outcome, that's another matter altogether. I’d be fine with her getting revived as long as the reason is good enough. 

With that out of the way, let me try and break down why Coralie's death is pretty impactful, even with how sudden it seemed. Let’s start with Helia's emotions regarding this matter. Helia has serious self-esteem issues. She wants to become like Durandal, which is impossible, and yet she knows it's impossible. She just doesn't want to believe it. Even though she herself knows that she can't possibly become Durandal, Helia keeps belittling herself and calling herself a failure for not somehow achieving Durandal-level feats. As Coralie put it, she's a "stubborn perfectionist who's both incredibly insecure and annoyingly arrogant". This entire chapter was basically about forcing Helia to face the harsh reality that she didn't want to accept. At the end of the chapter, when she finally decides to keep moving forward despite all her failures, the Coralie Incident™️ happens. She most certainly blames herself for Coralie's death. She didn't notice the flying sword (which is fair), but because of that, Coralie paid with her life. Helia is the kind of person who will blame herself for everything. Now that she has lost her most important friend, she'll likely undergo a change in personality. Because as far as she’s concerned, her incompetence will cause everyone close to her harm. ​​

Moving on to my favourite part; Ein's reaction to all of this. How will she react? Although we haven't seen much of their relationship, I think that they both mean a lot to each other. Coralie was abandoned (probably because of her mutations) and Ein took her in, and decided to teach her. As we’ve seen before, Ein doesn’t open up or get close to people that easily. So I feel that adopting Coralie was an important event in her life. So…how will she manage to face the fact that yet another person she loves is dead? Unfortunately, I can only base my speculation off of random snippets we’ve had of Ein reminiscing. Maybe she’ll put on a brave face as always, and throw herself into her research to bury her feelings. But I think that’s lazy and unimaginative. I want Mihoyo to show me Ein being vulnerable for once. I want to see her reaction immediately after she receives the news about Coralie. I want to see her crying by Coralie’s hospital bed…thinking back to the time Coralie asked her if she would save her if she was lying on her deathbed. 

This leads me to the scene where Einstein's dog is dying (this scene hurt me. Even Ein didn’t know what to say); where Coralie accuses Ein of not understanding the true meaning of life and death because she's immortal. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth, but since Coralie was overwhelmed by emotions because her only friend had just died, I will overlook this cruel sentence (I’m joking, I love Coralie). Even though Coralie only lost a dog that day, and not an actual human being, that dog was probably the closest thing she had to a proper friend (before she met Helia). And it made her start fearing the concept of death.

Here, Coralie getting angry at Helia for wanting to put her life on the line. Helia definitely started to realise how cold Coralie’s attitude towards death is here.

Going back to the dog scene, I just want to quickly point out that Einstein does value human lives, just in case people actually believed what Coralie said.

I’m 99.9% sure Ein was the one who told her this. Even if it was someone else, it doesn’t change the fact that Einstein still takes death very seriously even if she can’t die via natural means. She has lost too many people to not understand how precious life is.

Why would the death of a dog cause Coralie to start fearing death and become interested in immortality you ask? Because it made her realise that death can claim anyone’s life in an instant. That, one day, her time spent with Ein will eventually come to an end. After all, “Pale Death beats equally at the poor man's gate and at the palaces of kings.” (AE VN has such good quotes). Coralie probably looks up to Ein just like Ein looks up to her teacher, Emma Planck. Naturally, Coralie would grow to love the person who adopted and taught her. She even says in her bridge voice lines that the bond of family isn’t due being blood-related, but instead it’s the time spent together.

I didn't grasp Coralie’s attitude towards death initially, because the writers are pretty subtle about it. But there were moments in Chapter 5 where she was interested in immortality for some reason. When Chapter 6 came out, it became clearer. Clearly, Mihoyo thought it’d be very funny for the one who hates and fears death to end up dying.

Coralie wanting immortality foreshadowing 

More foreshadowing. Here, it might look like Coralie simply doesn’t want to give up that easily. But in reality, if she went straight to Ruimu, she would lose the opportunity to obtain a Jade Plaque and, in turn, lose the chance to become immortal if she wins.

There is plenty foreshadowing in the two chapters, but this post is already long enough asjbsvjkls.

Anyways, I’m pretty sure Chapter 7 will somehow make me sob even more. (Give me Ein’s reaction please, I’m on my knees)

I shall end this on a wholesome note, so have this white screen with Ein telling Coralie to come watch a movie with her. They should have given us a CG damn it >:(

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading the thoughts of an insane Ein and Coralie fan <33

Time for Lore!

@herrscherofmagic You're correct but let's dig into why.

Special thanks to my friend Venpasa for doing pretty much all the work.

Source: Part 2 book "Youyun's Classroom Issue 101"

Essentially, the relation between Anti-Entropy and Honkai energy (AKA "Imaginary Internal Energy") is that both seem to rise together. In other words, entropy and Honkai energy are inversely proportional, and Anti-Entropy is its own thing in Hi3 lore that's the opposite of entropy (yaknow like an anti-particle?).

As a civilization grows, it increases its own Anti-Entropy, which in turn elicits a proportional growth of Imaginary energy within Imaginary space. Once that reaches a critical point, an Imaginary bleed can occur, where space rips open and Honkai energy flows from Imaginary space into the real world.

That's when the monsters show up.

Also, Civilization is something like a Crystallization of Honkai so busting open the creations of Civilization releases Honkai.

[privatecyberstalker]

Okay, so now I want to think only about einjoyce that are living happily together in some alternative universe. No matter in which one, I just need some fluff with them.

Especially I need to see how Anti-Entropy crew would celebrate Ein's 18th birthday and try not to joke around Welt because - I bet - he was one of who organised party, so boy would be already stressed out, hoping that everyone will enjoy it. Especially Ein.

And I need to see Welt witnessing the real summer. See how Ein and Welt going to the countryside to collect flowers, yapping about plants from «critically endangered» list, about the symbolical meaning of each type of them, and ended up being covered in grass, but at least with flower crowns (Tesla wouldn't appreciate their look, but fully understand it)

And how Tesla will deal with denying that Ein and Welt are dating, because gosh even Planck would be more condescendant toward them. Imagine Nancy saying Tesla to chill out, because «you're worrying about their relationships more than about ours» (Finn and Nancy being first einjoyce supporters wasn't in your bingo, right?)

...I will leave it here for now till I didn't went too far into alternative universes🩵
