(HEAVILY suspect genshin 4.2 AQ weekly boss leaks, massive spoiler if its legit etc etc but take with a Colossal grain of salt, also general 4.0 & 4.1 spoilers jic, i am going moderately insane)

i would like to formally apologize in advance for the person im about to become if childes whale (or 'it' more likely than not) is genuinely going to be the 4.2 AQ weekly boss what the fuck. What the fuck

Listen. Listen. Listen.

ive been saying for YEARS that this fucker is a bigger deal than just he hee minor miniboss turned neutrally aligned friendly rival on the fatui harbinger gauntlet. ive been coping ive been starving seeing him get literally no relevance or new abyss lore for years as fanon butchered his character beyond recognition. but i knew. i knew they werent putting those lore breadcrumbs in there for nothing and like. im trying not to lose my mind just yet its still highly suspect claims but. itd make so much sense. itd explain everything.

the oratrice was not wrong. if the primordial anti-french bathwater is connected to the whale all along its no wonder it deemed childe guilty as the one with 'its' traces remaining on him all this time especially as the latent yet-untapped power resulting from that past encounter has clearly begun to surface. theyre registering as one and the same to the oratrice. and for the whale to end up as a weekly boss its Very clear theres an explicit link there.

and like? if the whales been behind fontaines rising sea levels and tied to the primordial water all this time lurking somewhere just underneath the nation of hydro im just. was childes instinct to come to fontaine specifically due to his worsening mood rly much coincidence at all or was 'it' beginning to call for him due to sensing that hed soon be ready to awaken his potential? his stories suggest quite clearly that this was what happened when ajax was 14 as well - the abyss called to him as did he to it, frustrated as he was with his ordinary life, seeking the potential he had within. ready to nurture his trouble-mongering nature into a true force of chaos and a nexus of strife. isnt this just the same thing all over again?

and the celestial star-cruising whale is his constellation. that kind of link isnt giving me a "chance encounter you happen to get latent powers from". and for skirk to explicitly state that awakening 'it' was a feat unheard of before ajax. that no one had ever done it before. theyre deeply intertwined if not outright the same entity on some cosmic level - just different incarnations somehow. shits getting Real and i fucking knew there was something up YEARS ago

anyway hooooly shit i am going to fucking lose it i really really hope its real. and like sure sure knowing its coming is technically a spoiler but also not really? bc now its just the how and why and when. is skirk going to finally show up? is childe going to summon 'it' either on accident or on purpose? would he utilize the imminent threat the whales presence poses to force both furina and neuvillette into emergency mode given how abyssal creatures are literally kryptonite for dragons and celestia-approved divine beings alike? is that why traveler ends up having to face it instead? bc those 2 would literally get irreversibly corroded by the abyss from one hit?

alternatively, will childe want to fight it? bc ppl dont talk about this for some reason but hes always had a voiceline about what we now know 100% was 'it' and bro genuinely wants to go back to the abyss full send just to throw hands with the whale to prove hes surpassed the past terror that gripped him upon their first encounter and that hes overtaken it with his own power. which with the new lore drops of their deep connection definitely isnt giving childe replacing and becoming the new incarnation of the abyssal star-whale at all nuh-uh. surely. (i want it so bad)

anyway. holy shit. heres hoping this doesnt just age like shit DUFYDUGHFGDJSHDK i really want an AQ final fight thats not just harbinger of the week for the 4th time in a row. theyre fun and all and like yeah arguably childes ties to it kinda make it a harbinger fight but also not? bc this is about his abyssal links nothing to do with being in the fatui. and its the whale anyway not him per say

anyway heres hoping we get that 3rd final boss fight to the death with him in the celestia arc for once and for all when hes finally reached his peak. first we fight him at his incomplete level in liyue. then his abyssal whale. then 3rd time him in his final form thank youuu

but like. still emphasizing. this is NOT reliable leaks or confirmed yet so hold your horses. very sussy whisperings from some ppl who do have somewhat of a truthful track record but nothing concrete. i just went insane enough with the very idea that my brain made me type this madness out regardless

IDs under cut!

[ID: The post contains three images, drawn in a sketchy, non-colored style in Procreate. Before the first caption is just one image, showing three characters. The first is Cyllene, who has short, spiked hair parted to the right; a wide nose; a circular shaped but pointed face; and wearing her Survey Corps uniform. Second is Kamado, who has dark hair, jaw-length, pulled back showing a widow’s peak; a squared face, more heavily wrinkled than Cyllene; a wide nose; and his weird 90 degree angle mustache. He’s taller than Cyllene. Third is Bela, who looks very similar to Valerio, with long dark hair, revealing a similar widow’s peak; a triangular face; a thin, hooked nose; and slight wrinkles around her facial features, highlighting her age. She’s taller than Cyllene, but not as tall as Kamado. There are two panels, the first one shows Cyllene and Kamado arguing with one another. Kamado says, “NO. He is not receiving ANY of our help. He LEFT. He’s merely facing the consequences of his actions at this point.” Cyllene replies, “Do you HEAR yourself?!” Bela says off panel, “Hey.” Which transitions into the second panel, where Bela is angrily staring at Kamado off panel. She continues, “Talk about my son like that again and I’ll make you face the goddamn consequences of opening your shitty mouth, old fuck asshole.” A mini panel shows Cyllene, giving Bela thumbs-up in approval, and Kamado angrily shouting “WHAT.”

The second image after the initial caption contains Bela, Cyllene, and Laventon. Laventon is slightly shorter than Bela; has a squared face with a lot of stubble; dark, curly hair; and is wearing a lab coat with a vest and button up underneath, along with a bow tie. Bela is speaking to someone off camera, a confused smile on her face, while Cyllene and Laventon look up to her, blushing immensely. Text next to them says, “Tall trans woman who’s often self conscious n dysphoric about her body VS Small trans woman with a giant crush on her + Trans man who has a crush on both of them.

The third image just below it has 4 panels, 1-2-1 from top to bottom. It features Cyllene and Valerio, who looks like a younger version of Bela, notable differences being his hair being jaw-length rather than long; lack of wrinkles and rounder face reflective of younger age; and he has two scars, one above his right eye, the other on his lower left jawline. The first panel shows Cyllene in the foreground, looking incredibly nervous, with Valerio barging through the office door in the background. He’s saying, “CYLLENE.” The second panel is a zoom in on Valerio, who has a wide, frustrated smile on his face. He continues, “DID YOU FUCK MY MOM, CYLLENE. BE HONEST.” The third panel is Cyllene, unable to look Valerio in the eye, looking to the side with a nervous smile as she answers, “… Well, not quite? The, uhm. The other way, rather, if we’re being honest?” The fourth panel shows Cyllene and Valerio, Cyllene continuing to smile nervously, while Valerio backs away in abject horror. He’s traumatized by this news. Lord help him. Cyllene says, “ahaha… that’s a fair reaction.” END ID.]
