yooooo places in this world where the wind doesn't blow!!!

[drgnnova]

random theory (Bennett having some kind of connection to the lavawalker).

(This is written more like brainstorming than a full on theory)

The lavawalker is mentioned to have disappeared without a trace within Mare Jivari.

it was mentioned that people could hear the sound of crying from the Mare Jivari, but they didnt know if this was the song of the bird or the sighs of lavawalker

and if we go with the theory that the place Bennett was found in the Mare Jivari, the adventurer, who believed he was the first one to pass throught Mare Jivari, found a baby (Bennett) in the mare Jivari. and he believed Bennett was what he was supposed to find in the journey. (also the adventurer died from his journey, but Bennett was somehow okay).

Bennett also mentioned/referenced Mare Jivari in his love poem during windblume.

also i believed that their are winds in Mare Jivari, because "Stanley" mentions "i can hear the wind blowing in the Mare Jivari..." (i found the part this is said while looking up information about Mare Jivari). meaning it still possible that Bennett was found in Mare Jivari.

Bennet: "Trial by Fire"

Lavawalker artifact set: "the wisdom of the sage could withstand a trial by fire".

It's mentioned in Bennett's character story that the place he was found at as a baby had flames. "The scorching flames scalded his skin." We know that Mare Jivari is referred as "sea of flames".

More examples from the Lavawalker set:

"The flaming sea will surely devour this arrogant young man and the sky will blow his ashes into the void", "Upon close examination, one can almost see his figure standing strong amidst the fiery flames.", "The wandering sage of the Mare Jivari known as the Lavawalker crafted this circlet from crimson agate to resist the intense heat of the flames.", "Even in the blazing heat", "Sadly, though the Lavawalker did not fear the scorching flames of the Mare Jivari, he could not quench the torturing flames of time.", "As the flames blazed, burning sand flowed endlessly through the hourglass day after day.", and "Legend has it that there exists a kind of solidarity bird that sings in the blazing flames.".

In Venti's story quest, "Stanley" (I forgot his real name lol), mentions there being wind in Mare Jivari "i can hear the wind blowing in the Mare Jivari...". ( (im bridging this up because people said he cant be from Mare Jivari since their no wind at Mare Jivari). The place Bennett was found, has wind "and the hollering winds threatened to rip his soul from him".

This could be a reach. But I wanted to add it. But Bennett's ult kind of looks like the symbol for Natlan. (With being a circle with 8 points)

The Mare Jivari is a fucking DOMAIN, I thought it was a location

Why are there lore hidden in Noelle's second hangout, her fucking HANGOUT

[dutybcrne]

Natlan is not even out and there is already discourse on it. Like BRUH

[quaggyday]

Hey Hoyo 

Where is the Bennett lore, where is it Hoyo

You can’t just imply that Bennett is from the Mare Jivari, Natlan, or even something to do with the harbinger of dawn and than do nothing with it

Hoyo wtf is happening with Bennett, TELL ME

i find it interesting how out of all of the archons, venti is the only one withholding information and avoiding any conversation about celestia.

zhongli has already told us that he can’t talk about them, ei has actively shunned them, and nahida has started going against them. we don’t know much about what the tsaritsa is trying to do, but we know she’s trying to take them down and probably for a good reason.

from the information we’ve learned so far, celestia isn’t a great place, nor do the archons have any affection for them despite having to serve them. venti’s face in the webtoon when vennessa asks says enough.

[masqueradeoftheguilty]

idk if its just me but ive always read diluc's namecard description as him only creating the phoenix during his burst after his dad's death

which. ourgh. something about diluc only pickup up the phoenix symbolism after his life was shattered makes me so ill

[hiraya-rawr]

Honestly I just thought the Mare Jivari was meant to be the remains of Khaenri'ah- idk why but I just heard "a place where wind doesn't blow" and thought, "yeah that's probably the place that got fucked up by the gods" and didn't really think much further than that

But no apparently it's just a domain or something

i heard that mare jivari would actually have its own place on the map// im not sure though but i did see a mock map of it and apparently it'll be explorable?

[diremoone]

churning tides

a/n ;; gonna be honest, this ficlet is just a dump of all the ideas i’ve got for my hydro husband, so if it flops that’s why. idk what mare jivari has secrets of but I’m assuming some heavy lore there when we get to it! ;; slight lore and fontaine archon quest spoilers. also didn’t know how to end it so *shrugs* reader has a geo vision!

Neuvillette never knew how outwardly possessive he could become… so… so emotional.

The people of Fontaine knew him as a stoic Iudex, a truly unbiased judge with nerves of steel to match. And while that was true, that persona remained to the public.

For the most part.

But with you, he feared word would get around that he’s more than just the calm and collected Iudex of Fontaine.

The man before him was sweating bullets in his presence. The air was thick and heavy with authority… or maybe a slight rage blended with jealousy. Either way, the man knew that Neuvillette was in no mood for small talk.

“E-E-Excuse me, Monsieur Neuvillette. I’ll be on my way now.”

Neuvillette’s reply is nothing short of flat. “Sure.”

As the man scurries off in a fast walk, you stifle your laughs with a hand over your mouth. Your shoulders shake with each giggle, and finally the Iudex can feel himself calming down.

“Jealous?”

Neuvillette gazed at you like you have three heads.

“Oh, come on. You can’t tell me you weren’t mad by another man keeping me company.”

“Of course not.”

“Liar,” you tut, waggling your finger. You take a sip of the coffee, humming as the caffeine and warmth spread through you. “But you’re off the hook, for now. I haven’t seen you in months. And I’m sure that you’ve missed me, too.”

“Tis the life of a famed adventurer like yourself, I suppose,” he responds, sitting down in the chair next to you in the court of the cafe.

“I suppose,” you sigh. “So; I heard about the prophecy. It came to pass then?”

Neuvillette sighs, nodding in confirmation. He’s simple with telling you what happened, utilizing enough detail that you can figure out specific events without him having to speak about them.

When he’s done, you lean back in your seat. Your eyes are blown open with bewilderment.

“So, your powers as the Hydro Sovereign are fully restored then?”

“That’s correct.”

“Celestia is gonna be pissed.”

“Let them simmer then. I will return their rage tenfold.”

You chuckle. “Hope you’ll let me know when the war starts. I’d like to help.”

Neuvillette’s brows furrow. He looks down to your Geo Vision, then to your left arm and right leg, their secrets hidden behind nothing more than cloth.

“A Vision doesn’t mean much except a representation of one’s type of wish at a certain time, Neuvillette. That… and I know more about this world than I care to.”

He’s silent for a moment, then realizes. “Mare Jivari?”

“There, and much more.” You shake your head. “But let’s not think about that. Any new riveting cases? How are the Melusines? Have you finally given Charlotte her interview?”

Neuvillette chuckles. Yes, he’s indeed missed you.

Ah, now he’s wondering how to ask you on a date.

[dkniade]

Venti is like a song that keeps alive people’s stories, including that of the Nameless Bard and other historical figures of Mondstadt, while he himself is wrapped in a mystery, only glimpsed through parallels between him and those whose stories he tell

—just like how his Story Quest focuses on Stanley’s story with Venti not really revealing anything about himself until the last scene.

But you learn about him anyway through Stanley’s reactions, because Stanley’s story directly parallels Venti’s own story with the bard:

Stanley: “You were a renowned adventurer, destined to become a legend one day... But now... that'll never happen, because your life was cut short— and all because of a worthless tag-along...”

Stanley: “Stanley, for so many years I've lived in fear... fear that Mondstadt will forget all about you... So I tell your adventure stories at every opportunity...

Stanley: “Mondstadt must remember: Stanley reached the center of the Mare Jivari... He's the greatest adventurer there ever was, and he lives on!”

Venti: “Exactly... Even in his memory, the real Stanley isn't the living, breathing friend he knew at all.”

Venti: “Instead, he's become fixed on the image of him as that battle-scarred warrior... and that image has held him captive his entire life.”

I mean, Venti likely feels this way towards the Nameless Bard too, even though he doesn’t show that in the quest. And Stanley is just a human. Meanwhile Venti—Venti has held onto the Nameless Bard’s image for around 2600 years.

Hello! I have a request for the 1.5k follower event (congrats by the way), but I was wondering if you could do prompt 8 with clorinde? Hope you have a nice day

Cuddling in the morning

Characters: Clorinde x gn!reader

warnings: none, just fluff

a/n: Obvious but still necessarry disclaimer that Clorinde hasn't released yet, so if this eventually turns out to be out of character you are all allowed to fire one (1) crossbow bolt at me. So better start practising your aim /j

Anyway, thanks for the congratulations and I hope you enjoy!

Clorinde

At first, Clorinde couldn’t stand having your sleeping form hug and stick to her. Not because she hated the concept behind it, but simply since falling asleep became as big of a nightmare as any bad memories from past duels could ever hope to be, your warm body emitting enough heat to get an entire household through Fontaine’s most merciless winters.

Still, there wasn’t much she could do against it, and with time, Clorinde slowly but surely grew accustomed to your clingy sleeping position, even finding it rather enjoyable once the colder seasons arrived… perhaps even a little too much.

When Clorinde’s eyes slowly but surely opened, only for the sun that usually greeted her through her window to be missing, its presence substituted by the setting moon she ought to have grown accustomed to since the beginning of winter, her very first thought was to close her eyes once again and return to sleep, only for her sense of duty to kill that very notion in its crib, the Duel Champion languidly attempted to crawl out of bed. Back in the day, she would have been met with absolutely no resistance, but as her mind busied itself with thinking over her plans for the day, she was suddenly pulled back to bed and reality by a familiar pair of arms.

Before Clorinde could do as much as utter a word, she was already cut short by mumbled protests, containing the same phrases of “just five more minutes” and “please stay” as usual, pleas that would once again fall onto deaf ears. It was already too warm under the blankets for Clorinde’s liking anyway, your Pyro Vision making sure the heat matched whatever the Mare Jivari had to offer at its worst.

As she continued to untangle your arms from her, muttering out small apologies to whatever protests and cries your half-asleep form threw at her, she couldn’t help but silently wonder how anyone would react to seeing one of Fontaine’s most esteemed bureaucrats like this, the realization that this was a part of you only her got to see suddenly brightening her morning by a little bit. Still, work had still to be done and continuing to lay in bed and do nothing helped no one, no matter how much you kept insisting on it.

With one last tug, she was finally free, quickly proceeding to slip out from under the blanket, only for the freezing air to make her hairs stand up the moment she pushed her arm out, her gaze immediately fixating on the window you forgot to close last night, your impromptu sauna suddenly not looking that grim in comparison to what would away her if she decided to make her way fully out of bed.

Usually, Clorinde would have just bitten the bullet, got out of bed and quickly made her way to someone not as cold, on this morning however, as she felt your arms once again finding their way around her torso, slowly but surely embracing her, just all too eager to get her back under the sheats for “just a few more minutes”, she decided to offer little resistance, lying back down until her face was once again across from yours, causing a meager cheer to escape your half-asleep lips before you quickly fell silent once again, your breaths growing slower and deeper as your hug tightened. …Skipping one early swordsman practice surely wouldn’t hurt too much.

That has been confirmed since 1.5 btw

[beehiveofblorbos]

hear me now: 5.2 is a Mondstadt patch

I know. I sound crazy. But let me speak

The AQ is supposedly taking a break in 5.2, so we’ll be left on some sort of cliffhanger at end of 5.1. What else to play the role of story in the middle of Natlan except Mondstadt?

Think about it. Natlan and Mondstadt are connected in so many ways.

They’re both regularly attacked by the Abyss. Natlan contains the Mare Jivari, which is specifically a windless land, a land where Venti holds no power. One of Mondstadt’s most significant figures, Vennessa, was of Natlanian origin. Both of them have resurrectors (Natlan has its Ancient Name bearers, and Mondstadt will soon have Durin resurrect).

And what else? Venti has been REPEATEDLY mentioned in recent quests - once in late Fontaine (with his title of prodigal son) and again in the Natlan chapter of the Archon Quest itself. So they’re keeping Mondstadt in the back of our minds.

Oh, and you know what? Themes with death and new life. I’ve talked before about Venti’s themes with death and new life (his repeated appearances with Hu Tao, his backstory centered around his grief for his dead friend the Nameless Bard (in fact, him becoming a fully fledged god in the wake of that grief), the Weinlesefest). If the Shade of Death does not appear in Natlan, I will be damned. I will also be damned if Venti had absolutely 0 link to the Shade of Death.

[anemoi-i]

There are many Venti fans that believe he will receive a second part to his story quest when Dornman Port releases and while I understand that, plus understand the need for him to have a second story quest, I believe it does a great disservice to him when there is already content in the game, with specifically Mondstadt, that has not been expanded on in any way, shape or form that could have already been used as potential grounds for a second story quest.

Another argument is that Venti is only "end game content" as in he will only be relevant when the Traveler reaches Khaenri'ah to learn the truth about what happened during the Cataclysm, and yes, that could be the case but it would be detrimental if hoyo was to wait that long not only for him, but for the other Archons as well.

You'll remember that the game is pushing the narrative to us, the players, that the Archons are directly responsible for the Cataclysm and are only showing us Khaenri'ah's side of the story. There's even a red herring that the Traveler seeks to ask specifically Venti and Zhongli about the fall of Khaenri'ah while in the same breath, talks about the battles the Archon faced to defend their nations and the wounds that still linger 500 years later, but no Archon directly tells the Traveler their side of the story, the Traveler has not went back to previous nations to ask, which leads to so many unanswered questions.

I'd like to go back first and explain why I do not think Venti's second story quest will release with Dornman Port (and if it does, it'll be a miracle and I'll come back to this) and it is because it seems too trivial to release an important part of an Archon's story with a small area, especially a port. That, and the current trend with Archons' story quests (save Furina) is that they have a boss, and vital pieces of information are found out before that boss is fought. There's the argument that Andrius and Dvalin are the two bosses already (Andrius was the "second world boss for Mondstadt" already) and it's unlikely that there would be a third Mondstadt boss, but why would that be? Mondstadt is the first nation we visit. Perhaps later trends in how story quests and it's related bosses work came after.

Don't get me wrong, I would love a Mondstadt expansion, but I doubt a Dornman Port release would answer all of the many other plotpoints unexplored as well as other questions that remain unsolved. I'm sure we'd get a nice World Quest, as these new World Quests are very good, or subtle lore drops like the random release of Perinheri, but that's about it and after that we would all be left disappointed.

I've already went over potential plotpoints that would be far better, such as why Durin's heart still beats at Dragonspine, why the Abyss Order was/is mostly active at Mondstadt, the presence of Istaroth, why hoyo is literally doing nothing with Albedo (to be fair, a lore drop for Albedo could just be behind a second story quest for him which he deserves), and Grand Master Varka's expedition, plus so, so much more including the Mare Jivari (which is what I speculate will be important when Natlan releases) and even Old Mondstadt. All of which could have been already explored in a second story quest for Venti, but we're left having to speculate when it will release.

I genuinely can't believe that the rannett windblume thing happened, like???

They get trapped in a cage together, which is just. Such a romcom trope and then while they're there Bennett gives Razor all his food because he's worried for him ANS THEN THEY WRITE A LOVE POEM TOGETHER

Like it's not even me going "Oh this is a love poem bc I say so" THE POINT IS THEY WERE WRITING LOVE POEMS, TRAVELLER SAID IT WAS FULL OF ROMANCE, AND

THE POEM IS ABOUT RAZOR

"You and the Mare Jivari

So close and yet so far

One at the edge of the world

The other in the center of my heart

Wolfhook and dandelion

My Windblume offering to you."

That's so fucking romantic and Bennett needed another windblume to use than dandelion so what does he do? Think of another flower himself, like his ascension mats or something? NO HE ASKS RAZOR AND PUTS RAZOR'S WINDBLUME INTO THE POEM!

People's choice of windblume is a personal thing!! Most Mondstadters have their own idea of what the windblume is so Bennett including Razor's choice (which is entirely unconventional in that it's not a flower and is only in Wolvendom) makes the poem so personalised to Razor!! He could even have said Windwheel asters or something bc those are his ascension flowers but NO! He made the poem about Razor's Windblume choice!! (And his ascension mats)

Let me ask you: if someone is giving someone else a windblume and they choose a Wolfhook, would you assume that the person receiving or giving the Wolfhook is the one character we know to live in Wolvendom, aka the only place Wolfhooks grow? Yeah you would assume that wouldn't you, so why is Bennett writing about giving someone a Wolfhook as windblume in a romantic context if it's not about Razor???

And then the most damning piece of evidence: RAZOR SAID THE POEM MADE HIM FEEL WARM AND TINGLY!! GAYASS

And don't think I didn't notice that the first few lines of the poem are about the contrast between the emotional and physical difference between the person the poem is about and Bennett. Razor lives in Wolvendom, putting him physically distant from Bennett, but they're "friends" anyway!! They hang out!! They write love poems about each other!! Bennett speaks to Razor in a way softer voice than anyone else!! They're close!!

Also, while Bennett was writing this poem he was "so close and yet so far" from Razor because they were IN THE SAME CAGE BUT DIFFERENT COMPARTMENTS. That makes them close, but unable to actually be next to each other!!

Also, after this, Venti says the poem is good and invites Bennett back to go to a bar and celebrate. Bennett declines, not because he doesn't like drinking or because he has some vague other thing to do but because he wants to go explore with Razor specifically. They then disappear and appear next in the cutscene, where Bennett is teaching Razor all about adventuring and says "WE need to bring more food next time, or you'll go hungry!" HE MEANS THEY'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO HANG OUT AND THAT THE NEXT TIME WILL BE WITH RAZOR AND HE WANTS TO ACCOMMODATE FOR RAZOR'S QUIRKS LIKE HOW HE CAN EAT LOADS AND STILL BE HUNGRY!! HE'S MAKING CHANGES TO HIS OWN LIFE TO BETTER FIT RAZOR!!

And Razor also makes changes for Bennett!! He doesn't like loud stuff or people who talk too much (which makes me think he's autistic but we move that's a different post) and the reason he was at the Thousand Winds Temple in the first place was because Wolvendom was too loud! This establishes he struggles with loud noises, or the fact that the hunters in Wolvendom talk too much.

BENNETT TALKS A LOT. Just saying

Also, in the cutscene for that Windblume, they're headed into the city. We know the city is filled with people, especially during a festival, probably way more people than Wolvendom, but he still goes because Bennett is there. He's following Bennett into somewhere that makes him uncomfortable, which means he trusts him already!!

Also, in his voiceline about Bennett, he says he talks a lot. He acknowledges that Bennett talks a lot but he doesn't have an issue with it! He says "eat with him, never full" which could either mean Bennett keeps stopping to talk or that Razor doesn't want to stop hanging out, so he's never full because he doesn't want to be done with the meal. It could also mean that he's never "full" or sick of Bennett's talking which is just adorable.

Also, in the susbedo event, Paimon asks Bennett where Razor is, meaning whenever she sees Bennett she expects to see Razor. You realise this means they probably hang out so often people see them as a pair? Inseparable?

IN CONCLUSION they're so in love they're basically canon, they have so many signs and hints and stuff that suggests they're way closer to each other than anyone else. Basically whenever we see one of them, they're with the other or the other one is close behind. They're so in love u guys
