#this isn't really based on canon just my musings hahaha

[n0tamused]

oh, i also wanted to tell you that you're oc has inspired my own! they've changed a lot since i first made them and they aren't very close to canon since i wanted them to be a multiversal entity and hi3 isn't a game i play (+ the lore explained to me seems confusing). so a lot of the backstory regarding where they came from and how they became split into multiple beings across the hoyo properties is completely made up lol. they're based on a dullahan, and have split into 3; the head-genshin, the rider-hsr, and the steed-hi3 (which is also the heart).

sorry for rambling. i just wanted to thank you for how cool jien is. one day, if the stars align, id love to commission you for my oc.

Hello! And man, to hear that my own musings and writing inspired someone else is genuinely quite amazing, not to mention that I also feel quite flattered and honoured as well on top of that lol.

And the Dullahan concept is so interesting to me, I'd love to hear how you fit all that in with your OCs lore :D I'm really happy that my stuff was able to give you some fuel in this matter. It's quite fun to make a "multi universe" character tbh, and in my opinion I feel it is also quite liberating in regards to fandoms and their specific lore, since you can just... make stuff up and make it work hahaha. That bit definitely allowed me to grow closer to Jien and just love her even more since I wasn't really that confined by HSR lore yknow

Thank you so much for sending this in, I appreciate you and your words to no end❤️ Jien is sending you fresh baked goods too🫶 and if the stars do align, I'd love to work with you on that last bit too!

Before HOSAB arrives, some predictions I've talked a lot in private but not on main:

• Midgard is Earth. An alternate version of our world, probably, one where the Vanir walked in and colonised, but still, it's Earth. When did the Vanir arrive? In the distant past or the future?

• The Parthos Library is more important than we think. The Humans staked everything in a battle there. We hear it was because they wanted to protect and save something of what they were before the Vanir arrived, their history, but what if it was more than that? Strange that something as powerful as an Archesian Amulet belonged to a Priestess in a Library that Housed the History of Humanity, apparently. There's more to this story. There's something in the library of Parthos the Asteri want gone.

• The Asteri were imprisoned, got released when the gates all opened and killed God or imprisoned God. They will be based on these Angels described below from biblical sources, but TvTropes - Eldritch Abominations summons them up well:

• The Prince of the Pit will be based on the Biblical Abaddon/Apollyon. He's the angel/archangel of the Bottomless Pit, "The Destroyer" but noted to be at the end of day a servant of God.

And this is the end of my tinfoil predictions for CCity hahaha
