I'm still catching up with world quests and finally finished Khvarena of good and evil yesterday and I'm still frothing at the mouth over it. Every other line in it has some double meaning relevant to the game's overarching lore, I swear to god.

Disorganised bullet points under the cut; I love how this game foreshadows things so thoroughly, if you're willing to look for it, that new details keep lining up with and elaborating on suspicions I already have. Some of this stuff is especially fun wrt the idea that Teyvat is an upside-down hell realm ruled by demons and human souls are trapped here for a reason.

Yet more links between the divine and destiny and songs and wind. 'Khvarenah' being a zoroastrian concept of divine power aiding 'the appointed'.

Zurvan offhandedly mentioning the rule of three (a storytelling concept) as if it's a fundamental law of this world.

Zurvan then saying the pari's god is 'rejected by the time flowing through this land' and can't move on to 'a purer plane' because of 'defilement' (which is abyssal; a character that became a lector is later described as 'embracing the defilement's blessings').

The general omnipresence of music as a theme yet again between the drums and the Great Songs and Sorush's obsession with hymns to glorify heroes.

The kory drums corresponding to every element except anemo and geo, highlighted in an academic text ignorant to why, further setting Venti and Zhongli/their respective elements apart from the others. The pari having associations with birds and plants like Venti, Sorush's crest kind of invoking the anemo symbol, especially if we look at the version on Venti's dish where he places a heart at its base, and the traveller gaining an anemo boost to help them plunge attack the drums that goes unexplained.

The Great Songs looking like green seelie- the normal ones and their podiums are anemo/barbatos-coded to me- and having a purpose of 'purifying' the land. Individual Great Songs being named after buddhist concepts like dukkha (the true nature of reality, cyclic suffering) and nirodha (cessation/renunciation of desire to escape dukkha).

The drums also being labelled with buddhist terms correspinding with each element (which I still need to look into but it seems like a rabbithole for theorists).

The pari having a philosophy of information loss being the natural order of things and for the best. Highlighted more than once.

Finally, yet another cecilia motif in the pari's seals:

And that's just the pari side of things! Meanwhile, in the Khaenri'ahn side of the quest:

The material they forged as an energy source, azosite, being named after azoth (a substance sought after in alchemy associated with spiritual enlightenment and purification of the soul and transforming human traits into the divine).

This goddamn text. Amrita means immortality.

This goddamn text as well. Assimilating energies it comes into contact with? Like, say, the traveller, who, like Khaenri'ah and the gods, is associated with stars in some way?

This structure on some terminals in the structure above Khaenri'ah's gate invokes the cross circle associated with Venti/Istaroth to me.

The name of the Schwanenritter is fascinating to me. Knights, white bird theme, in German/old Mondstadtian.

Nasejuna highlights Khaenri'ah as operating on scientific logic instead of fantastical stories, something the rest of Teyvat seems to revolve around and be confined by.

yakuyn mirror sex yakuyn mirror sex

as we all know dacryphilia goes hand in hand with mirror sex so just imagine. yn so overstimulated and out of it that she's crying and yaku just has a large hand on her jaw directing her to face the mirror "if you look away you don't get to cum" type shit

and oop it depends on how much rage is in his body that day 😊↕️ sometimes he has no patience at all and sometimes the patience of a saint and she can never guess what it is until they're already fucking hehe

the "oh I fucked up...." hits her HARD if he's in a patient mood 😃

with WHO

"menstruation is punishment for original sin" is a fairly common doctrine (altho in my experience it's usually more implicit than just baldly stated like that)

anyway this implies that of all the animal kingdom, humans are not UNIQUE in sinning, but are joined by bats, the elephant shrew, and the spiny mouse species Acomys cahirinus. (according to my 5 seconds on wikipedia at least)

Mai: Have you ever fallen in love?

Chizuru: *watching Isla swinging from the fan with Shun'ei yelling worriedly below, Iori and Kyo arguing like seven year olds, Shingo yet again tripping over himself, Isla taking pictures of Shingo mid-fall, Benimaru witnessing it while laughing in a very inhumane manner*

Chizuru: I can’t even fall asleep.

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth
