I'm very bored and need motion, and posting old art on Bluesky only gets me so far.

While shuffling through even older art, I decided I'd redraw a 20-year-old nonsense design that has always kinda lived rent-free in my head despite losing its original purpose to changes in the narrative it was tied to.

While it was originally an alt-form for a half-Bydo character from an old R-Type story, that character's frame of reference shifted to incorporating the 'Xelf' from R-Type FINAL when that came out, leaving this design to pass from use, but not from memory.

Largely attempted to keep as many of the weird, incongruous details intact; only modifying their application to make the design 'work' a little better. Some simpler parts have had detail added to bring them up to match the rest

I still have no idea what I could use it for, but I just kinda like how it looks so I wanted to redraw it. Probably safe, honestly, to not get too attached to it. Wouldn't want to be disappointed if it doesn't go anywhere a second time.

Here's the original image:

oh boy I just finished the archon quest and I have a theory...

tl;dr I think that the abyss twin's memories were rewritten so that they see khaenri'ah as their home due to being assimilated into teyvat (recorded in irminsul). just like how greater lord rukkhadevata was "forgotten" to cleanse irminsul of forbidden knowledge, the abyss twin was probably a descender who is no longer a descender because they (somehow) found a way (or was forced) to assimilate to teyvat. sumeru's memories and history were rewritten to accommodate rukkhadevata being forgotten. abyss twin's memories must have been rewritten in the same way because if they are to be recorded in irminsul, their external knowledge must be removed beforehand. so yeah, they might be brainwashed to thinking khaenri'ah is their true home. (whether or not they're aware of this is another thing entirely)

and I think a lot of the questions/revelations paimon and nahida posed are misdirections from the writers. abyss twin is not originally from teyvat, everyone just assumes they are from the facts. the story places great importance on the traveler's memories being reliable and correct, probably the only source of truth that's hard question. so I don't think we should doubt their memories being false. if they remember their twin as someone they traveled worlds together with, even if everyone else including the abyss twin thinks otherwise, it's probably as correct as them remembering rukkhadevata even if the rest of teyvat doesn't remember them.

okay now for other detailed thoughts that led to the tl;dr section:

first of all, is it really strange that the abyss twin is recorded in irminsul? I feel like this question is a misdirection. isn't it more strange that the traveler is not recorded by irminsul? why is "being external to teyvat" a reason to not be recorded? irminsul contains memories of teyvat. if teyvat doesn't want to keep memories of you... do you even exist? I mean we know what happened to rukkhadevata, so...

(although I understand traveler's memories have more weight than irminsul, since they're practically immortal and will outlive teyvat, or so zhongli believes. hence his story quests of him asking traveler to record in their own memories. this is also reiterated in sumeru because only traveler — and maybe venti — remembers rukkhadevata now. ei and zhongli in their voicelines refer to nahida as buer and doesn't mention or imply knowing her past incarnation).

but this also means that irminsul is selective of the memories it records. why? likely because it wants to remove forbidden/external knowledge. this begs the question of if even the irminsul was created for this purpose or if this mechanism of it is being controlled

second: are there really only four descenders, or is it that only four descenders have remained long enough to still be categorized as descenders? for example, if we are to believe the traveler's memories (and we probably should, since as mentioned above they are regarded by the story to be reliable), then the abyss twin should be a descender but maybe they no longer are anymore. like maybe they are forced by the sustainer of heavenly principles to become part of the world (but then why wasn't traveler?) or they themselves found a way to become part of the world and be recognized by teyvat.

the only other confirmed descender are the heavenly principles (celestia) and they were the ones who shaped teyvat the way it is now, so...

(tangent: the other decender is likely alice and maaaaaybe venti, but idk how much venti counts as one. he's a strand of istaroth who is one of the four shades of the primordial one aka just another alias of the heavenly principles. kinda fuzzy on that one. so he's more like... a strand of a descender? lol. although that would make sense since his memories are also not affected by teyvat's shenanigans. I think there's a descender from the fatui's ranks as well — it could explain their technological advancement).

anyway, this begs the question of: how does one avoid being recognized by teyvat/irminsul for this long? especially given how controlling celestia is. see, isn't it stranger that the traveler is still considered external to teyvat?

if the abyss twin was forced to assimilate to teyvat by the sustainer, I think maybe the traveler was also supposed to as well but only managed to escape because they slept for 500y and something happened in their slumber that prevented them from being recognized by teyvat. (maybe it was their purification power, or venti supposedly visiting their dreams, idk).

third: there has to be a reason we get these lore revelations after the sumeru storyline, so I do think we got enough clues to figure out the puzzle. putting all this together, rulkhadevata's story illustrates the rules of what irminsul accepts and rejects. so we can infer from there. if the traveler's memories are reliable (and they seem to be!), and if the abyss twin is recorded in irminsul, this means the abyss twin is an external being of teyvat that found a way to become part of teyvat's laws. what does this imply? to be recorded in irminsul, you cannot have forbidden knowledge or that would corrupt teyvat. so the abyss twin should no longer have external knowledge anymore. and if they are missing memories, their other memories must have been rewritten (like sumeru's history was) to fill in the gaps and make their history consistent and logical. this might explain why abyss twin is fixated on khaenri'ah. it is their home, in their mind.

to go a step further, although this is now wild theory time and not supported by facts: what if the abyss twin fell to khaenri'ah during the cataclysm, entered teyvat's samsara, and was reincarnated (like nahida) but now with rewritten memories since they went through irminsul?

fourth: at the end of the abyss twin's journey, their "fate is obfuscated." this is interesting. I lean on the theory that the constellations are destinies written by celestia to keep teyvat in control. abyss twin doesn't seem to have a vision, so it looks like even if they assimilated to teyvat, perhaps celestia is still unable to control their destiny? I wonder if, at the end of the journey, they were able to realize their situation and break free? or maybe this is another situation entirely...

WHEW so much to think about, sorry for the word vomit. this was literally just me writing my thoughts out, no editing lmao

#mine musings #liveblogging genshin #genshin spoilers #sorry this was quite long i literally JUST finished the archon quest and whew....... so many thoughts to chew........ #i always found it strange why abyss twin is so fixated on khaenri'ah as their homeland #because they supposedly have traveled with their twin for EONS like 500y in teyvat is just a blip to them #so this... seems like an answer to that #NOW do they KNOW what happened to them? i'm not sure #it's possible they figured it out but they still haven't found a way to retrieve their original memories #anyway this is just a theory though. i could be wrong lmao #could have probable said all this in fewer words but whatever we're writing stream of consciousness now. also it's 6am #i guess i'll tag it #genshin impact #genshin lore

An absolute gem of pure CRINGE and peak comedy. As an italian I can say we never do things halfway. Here the commitment to the cringe was VERY strong.

One of the finest moments in the history of italian television.

Really it's an absurdist take on the interview genre. We get:

- questions directly from a beauty pageant :"Is there any future? How do we end world hunger? What can we do to achieve world peace?".

- a VERY confused interpreter throwing gasoline on the fire of misunderstanding.

- Celentano being both confrontational and oblivious while also managing to be weirdly patronizing. I mean "hai la faccia di uno che pensa" ?? (= You have the face of a thinker).

- Bowie going from baffled to disbelieving to annoyed while trying to cover it by being funny.

- Bowie's desperate side eye as he hears the first question and realizes what he signed up for. Honestly you feel bad for him.

- One of the best polite ways to say "fuck no" to somebody:

C: " do you think we'll meet again?"

B: "having met in this occasion we never need to meet in the future"

It's a crime that so few people know of this.

in the span of less than a week, i've gone from "oh nice they're finally making it overt that will's gay. sad his feelings won't be reciprocated though but oh well" to "if byler isn't endgame then what was the point".

i've been lurking the tags and some of the discussions on reddit and have some Thoughts:

(i'm not laying out the reasons and evidence of why i think byler is endgame because i think other fans have got that down. my contribution to the tag is why i think unrequited byler isn't possible as a satisying pay-off in the story from the POV of a Will Byers fan and a less involved ST fan who hasn't seen a lot of cast interviews/outside material.)

the biggest point that made me consider against will's feelings being reciprocated at first was that maybe his storyline was a continuation of S3 which posited that he was unable to "move on and grow up". a redditor brought up that maybe confessing his feelings and subsequently being rejected will help will finally move on from his "childhood" and grow up. This was a compelling argument to me at the time because 1. so far S4 does seem to retread character relationship beats from before (Lucas and Max, Mike and Eleven, Steve and Nancy) and 2. i didn't have faith in the duffers giving us a good and satisfying character arc for Will.

Howsmtever!! when i thought about it more, that kinda storyline for will didn't really make any sense. we see in S4 Vol. 1 that will has taken up painting. not pencil or crayon drawings like in past seasons but paints! He's broadening his art horizons, i.e he's already growing up and moving onto new things.

we see will (and the rest of the byers) has completely taken in El as part of the family. if will hasn't moved on, wouldn't his relationship with her be shown to have more friction? if he still thinks that she is the girl who stole his friend/childhood away. but we see in cali he comforts her after her diorama is stepped on, is mad alongside her when mike says the "she didn't look fine" line, and will subtly puts his arm in front of her as a shield when the police come to take el away, among other brotherly gestures of love. he's not loud with his affections and he's not the type to visibly stand up against bullies and the like but in his limited scenes with el, we do see that he fully treats and loves el as a member of the family.

so anyways, that's that on that. will's moved on and thriving as best he could post-S3 and before the plot of S4 throws everyone back into the fire.

to state, i am working off on the assumption that the text is telling us 2 things: 1. that will is gay, and 2. that he is in love with mike. So. What else could point towards Will's feelings not being returned as a satisfying part of his character arc if the "moving on and growing up" part isn't the point?

the other argument i've seen is that a rejection will lead to heartbreak will lead to Will either getting vecna'd and/or siding with the villain leading into S5. and while i would love to see Will just fucking shit up, what would be the point of this? will loves his friends and his family. why would he turn his back on them even if the love of his life rejected him? he even says outright in vol. 1 that it was "you guys" that saved him. there isn't conflict here. and sidenote, his fear of rejection is probably what'll put him in danger of vecna's curse and not actually getting rejected. and then what's the pay off going with this route.? that even if he's rejected, he'll realize he still has his friends? but he already learned this in S3 (see: "not possible" line). it's not the same with max because her issues were the direct fall-out of the S3 ending.

So let's back up and say maybe getting rejected isn't that big of a deal in the big picture. lots of guys irl and in the 80s have been rejected by their crushes before. this is just gonna be a blip in will's life (he'll confess, mike will be sorry, and then onto the next scene) and then we can move on to the "real" plot of the story and maybe learn will's connection to the Upside Down and shit. to which i ask: why bring up his crush if it's not gonna be important in the grand scheme of things?? in his character arc?? just to pander to the gays? just for representation? when there's an arguably larger faction of people who would love will's orientation to truly be up for interpretation or for him to just be a delayed straight guy?? that doesn't make sense. i truly believe that the writers think that him being gay and in love with his best friend is an important enough part of the story that shouldn't be set aside.

from this long-ass, rambly text post, I've laid out my points on why i think rejection is just not possible for will's story assuming the writers are half-way decent at their jobs. and they seem to be, forgetting will's canon birthday aside.

And just to add-on, non byler fans hoping that Will gets a boyfriend (in the form of an as-yet unnamed character so he can be happy) while in the same breath saying how hard it is for gay guys in the 80s to find love is HILARIOUS. both of these things can be solved if byler is endgame. and also the jokes(?) saying will deserves better than mike?? will doesn't want anyone BUT mike.

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"
