I’m very (read: very) high rn so read all my burning (lol) questions/random thoughts about horizon that you can all answer in your own headcanons:
do you think you ever get people in tribes who defect from said tribe to go into another one? aside from fashav, jaxx (I guess) and fuck me, slaves, I wanna know if there’s like, an Oseram who talked his way into Carja nobility or something.
How successful is the fishing/farming economy in Horizon like…there’s obviously that boar farm and I’ve spotted a few fishing Carja outlanders by Kestrel’s Perch…but I wanna know if people are making livings out of that. We can’t all be machine hunters.
Do you think anyone has ever been squished by a Tallneck?
Do you think Tallnecks can run? (please god I hope they can’t - I would cry)
Not a question. Advice: Don’t try and override a Tideripper underwater. (I tried to do this when I was a little drunk and I’ve never been so frightened in all my life)
Is divorce a thing in this world?
I want to know who the Picasso is amongst the Tenakth. (it’s my golden boy Kotallo)
Give me Red Raid flashbacks.
I won’t lie, I had a dream where Meridian got razed and it gave me excellent hawk and thrush ideas (let’s burn Meridian DOWN!)
I want to know how far children in various tribes are allowed to wonder from their settlements. Obviously we had the whole situation with Yarra/Drakka where a kid went missing so I imagine not far but I wanna know if they’ve got some level of freedom.
On children, do tribes have midwives?
Give me more children’s tales (the Banuk and the Utaru gave me some but I must have MORE)
Let Erend find more Old Ones music. Let him find Taylor Swift. (Personally I think Kotallo would like Radiohead, but that’s jus’ me).
Seyka and Alva interact. Now.
I really want a quest where Aloy helps the wrong person, i.e she doesn’t get the full story and ends up complicit in somebody important’s murder.
somebody (me) needs to kidnap aloy.
I also need a proper red-light-full-alarm-fuck-me-she’s-gonna-blow scene where aloy needs to hoof it outta there (I need more intensity than thebes, much as I love thebes).
bring me more main quests like thebes. I love dropping into some big old place and being HORRIFIED (read: author had nightmares about GAIA Prime).
What do we think the bloodiest Aloy has ever gotten? That would be interesting.
Conscientious objectors must’ve been a thing during the Red Raids, right? (I suppose this is already proven but my question still stands).
Also may be already proven, what was the Oseram role in the Red Raids?
Why is everybody a cousin of Avad?
Let Ikrie be the unhinged Banuk that’s in the Forbidden West.
What does Ikrie do when Banuk who will obviously know who she is pitch up at the Hunting Grounds? Mighty awkward is it not?
Do we think, aside from the racing squads, a tribe might figure out how to ‘tame’ machines? we’re mighty fucking lucky that the machine racers are the good guys cos christ, they could wipe out some settlements with that kinda power.
Let Morlund fly in H3.
Let Talanah Khane Padish have a Sunwing in H3.
Do we think there’s some renowned legendary heroes for tribes that are not the Old Ones? Thinking along the lines of The Enduring, people like that…
I wanna know what certain tribes do with people with disabilities. With the Tenakth it’s certainly less than ideal 😐 and the Utaru are seemingly a little more humane about it. I imagine with the Banuk it’s probably death-related (that whole Survive, Prevail, bollocks). I wanna know what the Quen, the Oseram, the Carja and the Nora do.
Regarding a deaf character (which I won’t lie I was really hoping Seyka was bc I couldn’t find her VA until the day before BS came out), I want to know if their signing is similar to ours. When will we have deaf characters?
Why are there not more musicians amongst the tribes like…Korreh is currently the Hozier of the Utaru. You could easily have drummers from the Oseram. I know the Nora have got some kickass war songs (plus it’s proven they sing, as do the Utaru).
Why is it, on every quest that involves looking for somebody, they’re fucking dead?
Why does everybody have sisters?
I think Aloy has fantastic taste in music.
Do we think twins are seen as blessings or curses in different tribes?
Can H3 please send us to some more rural ruins? Author wants to be nosy in ancient houses.
Are there jewellers in Meridian?
What are some yearly festivals amongst tribes? Zo touched on Utaru ones but I must know more.
I want to know what warriors with allergies do? (I would be said soldier with allergies)
I want to know how many children in the Sundom/anywhere have been abducted by the Tenakth…or I at least wanna know what the hell Ullia was getting up to…
Piggybacking off that, surely there must be Tenakth soldiers/tribespeople that were born into different tribes and taken away…? That’s only if Ullia’s claim was true I guess.
Where did the cannibal rumour come from? (Obviously the Carja but who thought that up?)
Tell me more about the HZD and HFW prisons…
I want to know more about bandit motives. Obviously you stumble across small ambushes but then there’s whole camps like what are they doing there?
I would like to know more about Sunfall. They have wholeass slaves there. I imagine the whole slave situation is relative to the deal Vezreh had going on with the kidnapped Utaru.
Give me a character that’s deaf and travels with a hearing/signing companion please.
Do tribespeople have pets? (Surely it can’t just be Yarra)
What’s the deal with Yarra and Meat? Please tell me she found Meat as an abandoned baby or something…
I want to know if people are naming their weapons.
Do you think there’s like, a Banuk/any tribe shaman (besides Ourea) who is weirdly knowledgeable about Old Ones shit? Guy has no Focus but could tell you a whole lot about Ted Faro (I’m aware of who I’m describing but not That guy)
Where the fuck did Lel go?
I love that some settlements/campfires have little gossips that’ll give you a quest of some sort. Yes, give me the drama you saucy little minx.
Do you think people believe in ghosts? I think it’d be pretty cool if you heard the voices of the Old Ones as you were walking through valleys or rivers.
Less wrecked planes in H3 please. I love the idea but it just makes me uncomfortable.
More old battlefields in H3 please.
I think there should be some sort of ‘crawl’ effort going on. Aloy crouching is simply not enough.
Bring Furahni and/or the cool Sun-Priest back.
I love that some machines disappear. Like where’d you go? 😈
How do we think Beta is going to adapt to this new world?
Will anybody ever move Verbena’s body? Because it is literally…exactly where we left it.
Speaking of which: I want a closer look at Tenakth tags and Utaru seed pouches. I want to know what other tribes have.
Are sports (that are not hunting) a thing? I reckon the Carja are javelin throwers (it’s hunting related but ygm), the Oseram are most definitely boxers.
If Tenakth are painters, does that make the Quen the scribes or something?
What is the education system in the Horizon world? Obviously different to our time but like,,,,what would a parent do with a child that showed no aptitude for stitching or hunting or literally anything? Nothing good but I must know.
How common is disease in terms of death amongst tribes?
I loved Garokkah’s ‘In The Fog’ quest. Guess it shows that the Tenakth, despite their policies seemingly regarding the disabled, aren’t totally heartless when it comes to helping people within their tribe. That being said, it’s implied his daughters were trying to hide his illness. I wonder what happens to him?
I want to know more about the Odyssey.
I want to know more about Beta’s actual upbringing like…I know it was cold and horrible and heartless but I just want to know more about her.
Who the fuck piloted the Odyssey?
What happens to orphans in different tribes?
Give me more dumbass Tenakth teenagers.
I think the Utaru smoke their own brand of weed. The Carja definitely have a special spice. Tenakth? Paint-sniffers.
Do you think there’s tree surgeons?
WHAT ABOUT THE FREE REAL ESTATE?
Give me a Hunting Party kinda option like…i imagine this’ll happen in the Horizon Multiplayer but I wanna take out a little squad of Lowlanders and go and fuck that goddamn bear up
Holy shit, picture it. Sun-Nuns.

Part of a post I'm writing that I think distracts from the actual subject of that post but I feel like saying it anyway;
The Crepus situation seems to be pretty well-preserved from manga to game, from what I can tell. Diluc's vague about it but actually saw the scene, from beginning to end.
Kaeya insists Diluc killed his dad but arrived late and didn't actually see what happened, nor did he have a clear view of what Diluc was doing at the time.
Considering how I'm...relatively sure their whole confession-then-fight thing went down not too long later on top of everything else, I don't think they've ever actually, like...talked about it.
...What I'm saying is, I'm pretty sure Crepus died from the whole overuse of Delusion thing, especially since they made special effort to draw him disintegrating rather than as a regular-ass corpse, which is not something Genshin has ever or will ever shy away from. Not "trapped in agony and Diluc had to murder him himself". I could easily be wrong, but considering everything else we see and hear in the manga and game, it would be real fuckin' weird that the only person whose word we have to go off on for details is Kaeya, the belated party that was NOT there for inciting incident.
I genuinely think Kaeya made an incorrect assumption and just...hasn't ever had it cleared up. Because he and Diluc aren't talking. And who knows how Diluc's actually handling the situation. Whether he did or didn't mercy kill his dad, the survivor's guilt has to be immense regardless.
Anyways, point being, I love and adore Kaeya, I really do.
But he's a pessimist and also a little bit of an idiot at the best of times.
One that's smart, crafty, and perfectly capable in many areas, but keep in mind he was gonna kill Collei without actually assessing what her real problem was because he was projecting so hard, and I think he's only somewhat learned to project a little less in the actual game.
Not everything every single fictional character says is 100% actual, true, unbiased fact, even if the character themselves might 10000% believe in it.
And I just...think it's very deliberate that the manga showed the events the way it did, and ALSO had only Kaeya say directly that Diluc killed Crepus. We see the events for ourselves. The events are ambiguous and look way more like Diluc hardly had any reaction time beyond being able to pick Crepus up. (Which could easily be why he has blood on his face; from picking up a bleeding man.)
It just feels deliberate. Very, very deliberate storytelling.
And Maybe I'm Wrong. That's not too weird.
Maybe it'll never be confirmed one way or the other.
I just...think we shouldn't rest on our laurels and call something completely canon when it's, so far, been left very much ambiguous.
