Lantern Rite ❤️

[welcometoteyvat]

one last lantern rite thought (at least it should be the last one)

some people are disappointed about wasted potential with menogias's lantern and tbh me too—however i am Not trading gaming's character arc for yaksha lore they can coexist. just make the lantern and minu an important sideplot/ending quest and get those fontanians out of the epilogue instead (every day we're faced with the restrictions that gacha places on storytelling) we can have both estranged son and father and also geo yaksha expansion... i agree that it's pretty disappointing to have all his mentions be in random lines and the furnishing description without any proper focus on it, but then again, after the first lantern rite i dont think any of the mingxiao lantern designs have gotten like a focus in the event itself (sea gazer from 3.4 wasn't mentioned much either). so maybe there's precedence but also . where's yaksha storytime

the other things conspicuously missing are xingqiu (bro put on a french outfit just to not even interact w the fontainians in the epilogue like what is this), liyue 6ang, and beiguang annual lantern rite flirtations. like again, all of this could have been shoved in the epilogue because they're cameos but no it's international collaboration time? like sure but hhhh forced as hell sorry

Hi, Pile One! I feel as though I’m speaking to a peer. I’m 22, so you might be close to my age. Either that or you have a pretty youthful energy. I also feel a soft masculine vibe from this pile. Which leads into the reading. You know you don’t have to be all macho to honor your masculine side, right? Masculinity is about providing and strength. It’s not about being a massive dickhead. You can be ‘soft’ and still be a good husband and father. You aren’t a pansy or anything like that. I feel that you probably have family or friends who have more “traditional views”. But, no offense, they’re idiots. You’re uniquely you. You don’t fit into the boxes your social group tries to put you in, and that’s okay. To hell with them! Do what makes you happy, honey! Be you! You aren’t alone in not liking labels. You are human. You don’t have to be put into a box. Live freely. You may be highly sought after, but you aren’t making good friends or lovers. You have a very sweet air about you once you start to open up to people and most of those people tend to take advantage of you. You may want to pursue something in fashion or you might have a keen eye of what looks good and what doesn’t. You may tend to dress down to keep eyes off of you, but if wearing cute clothes makes you happy then do it! Who cares what anyone says! This is your life and you deserve to present how you want! Your new life will always cost you your old one. Don’t be afraid to let people, things, or situations go to move forward with who you truly are and what you truly deserve. Have the confidence to be who you truly are! And honestly, your family isn’t going to care that much. They’ll come around and truly just be happy that you’re happy. When you feel good about yourself, you do better in life. You have the ambition to go after what you want and take it. Plus, being a people pleaser is a form of manipulation. It’s not good to lie to yourself and in turn lie to others. Be mindful. You aren’t a bad person or less than for being ‘different’. You’re just you. And that’s exactly what you’re supposed to be, little bee!

Hey, Pile Two! You’re living as your authentic self! Congratulations! I feel like this took you some time and you may have felt a little called to pile one at first. I see that you’re getting to go out and party and have fun with new people! Black cats might be significant to you. (I take them as good luck!) You’ve learned to keep friends close, but not too close. You have good boundaries with other people and how the interact with your life. But, do you have good boundaries with yourself? Yes, you’re having fun and making money. But, are you remembering to keep your limits in mind? Are you overindulging in sex, booze, or just staying up too late? Make sure you’re still focusing on how to make yourself feel good, without getting lost in it. I’m so proud of you, though! I know it’s hard to find the balance, especially when you’ve only recently learned you DESERVE to feel good about yourself and have fun. But remember to reel it in and relax sometimes. You don’t have to go, go, go. And you don’t have to be lazy or greedy either. Just find balance in all that you do! Great work on choosing yourself, Pile Two!! To add a little treat for all your hard work and continued efforts to better yourself, you seem to have love offers coming in! That’s right! You’ve got options! I feel like you’ve been manifesting them (through prayer or just having something like a Pinterest board with relationship ideas and goals). They’re on their way! Keep yourself in check to be the best version of yourself for YOU and how you want to handle these new love offers!

[P.S. you don’t need as much confirmation as you think! Start trusting yourself more, busy bee. You’ve made it this far all on your own, why have still doubt yourself?]

You’ve been through the wringer, pile three! I see that you’ve been put in a situation to where you’ve had to pull away from a toxic situation involving a feminine energy who wasn’t reciprocating what you were giving them. This was really hard for you because you’re loyal and devoted. You would never turn your back on someone you love, but they turned their back first. You avoided a tower moment by stepping away and being firm in yourself and your morals! You aren’t a bad person, you just know when it’s time to cut the crap and leave people behind! Way to go!! I see that because of being able to cut this person out, you’ve made room for someone new! Don’t be afraid to open up and make new connections! Not everyone is here to use you, honey bee! You’ve cut off a lot of people lately or are at least hiding away to try and keep yourself safe. It’s making you lonely and you’re looking at things from a hopeless perspective. You are worthy of good things, love. Release control of what’s happening. Realize you have fought hard and deserve to relax and unwind. You can have fun with other people! Go on dates! Make friends with people online or in person! Go have fun! Get out of the house and go for a walk, you never know who you might bump into! Stop playing it too safe, pile three! Live your life! If you hide away, you’re still letting that old person and their energy have control over you! Remember who is really in control here! Keep buzzing onwards and upwards!

- Bunny 🍯💛

💛🍯 Bunny’s Notes:

Thank you for buzzing by! I hope that if this resonated with you, you gain the courage to keep being yourself and finding the balance of when to act defensively or when you should turn away from things/people/situations that no longer serve you! Love and light to you all!

*Jschlatt voice* You know what they call me? They call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs—commerce surrounds it with her surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme down-town is the Battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land. Look at the crowds of water-gazers there.

Okay bit over get Moby-Dicked idioy 💞

If a film is a river, or more exactly a torrent, I’m more interested in the course it takes, its speed, its detours, its whirls and eddies, than I am in its source or where it reaches the sea. And where do you place the viewer in all this? As someone seated on the bank of the gushing torrent, taking in everything that flows past, the flurries of motion and the moments of calm. But I hope also as someone who plunges into the current, literally bathes in it, carried away by the flight of their own imagination. — Hou Hsiao-hsien, The Assassin (2015)

The best thing a director can say should probably be found inside the film he has made, not on the page. This film is very much as simple as the ones and twos in life. I’d like viewers to come away from the film with an impression of having been with a simple friend. If they came away with the impression of having encountered “a filmmaker,” then I’d have to consider the film a failure. — Edward Yang, Yi Yi (2000)

In Asia, many spectators ask me the same thing: why do you make incomprehensible films? After a screening, they have tons of questions. Why this? Why a wall? What does it mean? I don't know how to answer. I advise them to contemplate the moon. Because the moon cannot answer you. And nobody asks her questions for that matter. If you really look at the moon, you sense and feel new things each time. Her sight makes us more sensitive, more tender. Maybe it's a budding solution to the world's problem. In a way, my films… It's what my films can't do. The sight of the moon makes us tender, more sensitive, able to feel other people's sorrow. In a way, my films are exercises for the audience. Those who enjoy them know how to moon gaze. If you're a moon gazer you know how to watch my film. — Tsai Ming-liang, Stray Dogs (2013)

fuck it genshin brainrot time.

so at the end of the chasm interlude quest, when yelan and xiao use the fantastic compass, yelan has an interesting little incantation type thing.

specifically, "pneuma surge" caught my attention. the compass seems to be powered by pneuma energy like is found in fontaine, and i have a decent amount of speculative justification for it.

so to quickly sum up the history of the compass, it was created by an unknown person at some point before the cataclysm and given to the adeptus sea gazer. he in turn, gave it to a thaumaturge in qiaoying village and it was used to seal abyss creatures in the chasm during the cataclysm. yelan mentions that it's similar to catalysts created by her clan (who are from qiaoying village), implying they studied the compass at some point.

the important part is that sea carver recieved the compass from an unknown individual. i have no idea who it was but i believe they were from fontaine, given the mention of pneuma. in addition, qiaoying is close to fontaine in proximity, hydro phantasms appear near the area and it's being added in the fontaine update cycle. also the adeptus who recieved the compass wzas sea gazer, who presumably would've been gazing at the sea, making him the most likely to meet any fontainians out of the adepti.

so here's my guess at the history of the compass: after the archon war, some kind of thaumaturge from fontaine met sea gazer, and developed the fantastic compass with him in order to seal some kind of monster that was created in the wake of the archon war. this could be elynas but i doubt it, i imagine itll be something revealed in 4.4 if anything. they used pneuma energy to create it, meaning they likely were a genshin, since the fontaine characters with visions have access to the pneumousia energy.

ok but like what are pneuma and ousia. they mean essence and substance, which i kinda interpret as body and soul. i think pneuma and ousia energy is created from the primoridal sea, as all creatures able to use it have some kind of relation to it (except the traveller maybe. that one's complicated. you only have it while using hydro which could imply the power is coming from the primordial sea if im right), either being fontainians, neuvillette or melusines (which are made from elynas' body who was born in the primordial sea i believe). since they all have that association, they get to use some excess power to channel ousia and pneuma.

the power of the primordial sea is used to amplify energy here, which makes sense. the primordial sea is a strong source of energy, as shown by the all-devouring narwhal also draining power from the primordial sea. if tainted hydro phantasms can be found in chenyu vale, it seems plausible that the people of qiaoying village might be using small amounts of primordial seawater in their catalysts.

yelan also says that only her people know how to use their catalysts. perhaps only they know how to draw pneuma energy out of their catalysts.

jesus fucking christ im extrapolating all of this from literally 3 lines of dialogue, some geography. if im right im a genius btw
