I’m a bit ahead of schedule but that’s ok cause you know what, you get your daily meme:

(OG meme below due to popular request)

Just saw someone say that Ixlel and Och-Kan are like Asuka and Shinji from neon genesis…

Guys I’ve already been stabbed, there is no reason to twist the knife😔

I was going to grab a segment but the whole song fits for Ixlel

(How would you guys feel if I start posting song lyrics for characters on Wednesdays?)

Here is the aftermath staring special guest: Bona

(She said “Coco?”)

Somewhere in the afterlife after traveler kills them both:

(Not sure if ixlel’s thoughts are hard to read but it says “He must die” four times also I’m working on my och-kan design, if he looks funky then that’s why)

Huge fan of the memes, I think it would be cool if for some of the memes you include the original photos too, in case people don’t know what the original looks like/if the pictures block it a bit

Honestly, I totally would do that but I also fear I might end up over crowding the post with too many images like when I post three or four memes. But I’ll totally start doing that for when I post less memes if that’s what you want <33

Boom, daily memes:

Little reminder for those who finished the 5.5 World Quest

Don’t forget to return Ehecatl to its place in the temple near the Fallingstar Fields

Small spoiler for the last part of “Tournament of Glory in Bloom” event

When they were all arguing, Ajaw seemed really into it even joining in without context. I might be looking too deep into it but I wonder if it reminded him of the other lords in some way. Think about it, all the council ever did was argue with someone or with each other so…

When he found out it was all fake he seemed really disappointed and went back to sleep.

Or he is just the agent of chaos, who knows

He actually was a child, just a kid who is stronger then a adult male.

(yes i know it says adult male but he had to start from somewhere)

Right on time

I heard your calls so I’m delivering these much earlier (I will still post more at the same time I usually do)

(There is no context for the right one, I just thought it was funny)

Original image under the cut:

Ok so I feel incredibly stupid for not pressing on the icons but it tells us exactly what they are and from what I gathered we will be getting lore on obviously nod-Krai, fatui, the adventures guild, the knights of favonious, a snow fae that followed the first cryo archon, and a lot more.

Back at it again with random lore drops for “Song of the Welkin Moon”

I think before I start talking about some of my main thoughts, I should show the Nod-Krai teaser

Guys.. it’s so pretty. Seems like Hiisi Islands are gonna be one of the subregions in Nod-Krai and it’s so gorgeous. Someone tell the environment designers that they deserve a pat on the back (they deserve more)

Now, this insanity that I have no theories on currently. (There are more so please check out the official website, I couldn’t fit them in this post cause I use the app which won’t let you post more then ten images)

I’m genuinely lost on what they mean and the only two I could actually form some thoughts on are these two below:

The right one is definitely the fatui, no doubt about it but as for the left one; I think that can either be the Tsaritsa or someone related to her.

Genuinely I can not come up with much right now cause Im busy crying over natlan dragons but let me know any thoughts.

I KNOW KUKULKAN LOVED OCH-KAN I JUST HC HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM AT FIRST

oh and Ixlel is definitely Xiuhcoatl’s favourite. Her city could rival the sacred city so there has to be some favouritism going on.

Guess who completed the best map that genshin has ever released. I’ll give you a hit, it is yours truly

(Ignore that I didn’t do Fontaine’s archon quest… we don’t talk about it)

Any mitski listeners here? Cause I think I actually found Och-Kan’s song: I’m your man

Observe:

(The last part for me makes more sense in the context of Ixlel believing in him as the holy sovereign and getting…yk betrayed)

Tonight’s meme is extra special

He sent this to the Chamber of Deliberation Group chat fyi

This is the OG picture

Oh guys….

I might be cooked (I have no more resin too…)

At some point I will draw the other 11 lords but for right now I drew the headshots of Ixlel (yes I reworked her design) and Ajaw.

The vibe i was going for was personified beauty and…. Ajaw…

so you guys know how ajaw keeps flashing people with his pixelated winker to assert dominance. hear me out.

Couldn’t post any memes yesterday cause i was crushed, i hope you guys can forgive me 😔

Spoiler for 5.5 WQ

Here’s a bonus one for those who tried to nuke Teyvat (cough cough me):

Okay. Thanks a lot for @antea21 🫡 because man, I found out something really interesting.

MILD SPOILER FOR 5.5 SAURIAN WORLD QUEST AND OTHER SAURIAN WORLD QUESTS CHAIN, ESPECIALLY: "Shadows of the Mountains", "For the Night, What is the Night", and "Moment of Awakening"!!!

After we finished the 5.5 World Quest, Titu (the guy from the Khaenri'ahn soldiers quest, "Shadows of the Mountains),

and also one of the humans Kukulkan used as disguise, said this:

To be honest, to me, it sounds like what Chiyo said in the 5.4 Mikawa Flower Festival after she was freed by Raiden Ei... waking up from a long dream...

But what's gobsmacked me though, was not Titu, but another human we suspect to be a disguise of Kukulkan.

Legba. The guy from the Wayob in the Scion of the Canopy's old temple quest, "For the Night, What is the Night". His dialogues haven't changed.

His dialogues:

This is so disturbing for me. Why Titu was changed but not him? Shouldn't also be freed from Kukulkan's grip, right?

But this got me thinking... perhaps Legba isn't Kukulkan's puppet.

He's Xiuhcoatl.

"Radaedan what the fuck are you saying bro😭 get a grip. Stop overdosing on copium-" HEAR ME OUT FIRST BRO😭

• In his quest, Legba said this:

"Brilliant children"? If he was Kukulkan, this doesn't make sense. Och-Kan was his only son, and as far as I know, the new lore doesn't contradict this.

Also, I take a liberty to see of the name which Legba was inspired of:

Papa Legba is a lwa [Voodo Spirit], or loa, in West African Vodun and its diasporic deritatives... Legba is a favorite lwa of children due to his jolly, grandpa-like image. He is often tasked with babysitting and distracting children (a typical male role in the matrilineal religion) while more serious rituals are being performed by the adults.

"Papa Legba" - Wikipedia

Beside Hoyo's interesting decision to use the name of an African spirit for a white NPC😀, I just couldn't wrap my head of Kukulkan being described like this. Compare this to Titu and Manqu's historical counterparts:

Don Diego de Castro Titu Kusi Yupanki was an Inca ruler of Vilcabamba and the penultimate leader of the Neo-Inca State. He was a son of Manco[Manqu] Inca Yupanqui, He was crowned in 1563, after the death of his half brother, Sayri Tupac.

...Cusi is the "narrator" and source of An Inca Account of the Conquest of Peru, a firsthand account of the Spanish invasion, narrated by him in 1570 to Spanish missionary Fray Marcos García and transcribed by Martín de Pando, his mestizo assistant.

"Titu Cusi" - Wikipedia

Titu Cusi became the ruler after his half-brother's death. Kind of like Kukulkan acting as the regent during Xiuhcoatl's absence. Cusi being a "narrator" and source of a historical account also fits the in-game Titu's role as storyteller.

Manco Cápac (before c. 1200 – c. 1230; Quechua: Manqu Qhapaq, "the royal founder"), also known as Manco Inca and Ayar Manco, was, according to some historians, the first governor and founder of the Inca civilization in Cusco, possibly in the early 13th century. He is also a main figure of Inca mythology, being the protagonist of the two best known legends about the origin of the Inca, both of them connecting him to the foundation of Cusco. His main wife was his older sister, Mama Uqllu, also the mother of his son and successor Sinchi Ruq'a. Even though his figure is mentioned in several chronicles, his actual existence remains uncertain.

"Manco Cápac" - Wikipedia

Founder and ruler are still within Kukulkan's range. Incest aside, being co-ruler with your siblings also fit Kukulkan and Xiuhcoatl's dynamic.

But, the name Manqu wasn't had only been held by one person.

Manqu Inka Yupanki (Quechua) (around 1515 – 1544) (Manco Inca Yupanqui in Spanish) was the founder and monarch (Sapa Inca) of the independent Neo-Inca State in Vilcabamba, although he was originally a puppet Inca Emperor installed by the Spaniards. He was also known as "Manco II" and "Manco Cápac II". He was one of the sons of Huayna Capac and a younger brother of Huascar.

...Manco Inca, one of the more than 50 sons of Huayna Capac, was born in Cuzco. When Atahualpa's troops took the city under the command of General Quizquiz, they killed the descendants of Huayna Capac, the Huascar supporters, and anyone who could try to take the place of the Inca. Because of this, Manco Inca was forced to flee, avoiding any contact with the atahualpists.

On 14 November 1533, he met the conquistador Francisco Pizarro and his contingent, both Inca and Spanish. This and other events such as the massacre of Atahualpa led Manco Inca to believe that the Spaniards were "saviors" sent by the gods.

"Manco Inca Yupanqui" - Wikipedia

He was also the father of the aforementioned Titu Cusi btw. I have to admit, this is a gross comparison and a strech, but Manco Inca's initial belief that the Spaniards were "saviours" sent by the gods could be like how Kukulkan viewed humans as the "saviours" of the dragon race. Both became disillusioned in the end.

Now let's compare Titu and Manqu's historical counterparts with Legba's. That's right, they're worlds apart. The formers were emperors caught in family feuds and colonization, while the later is a Spirit best described as paternal.

But do you know who could be described as having many children?

Okay... I have to admit, this one is a bit of a stretch, especially since we don't know how Xiuhcoatl and the Dragonlords viewed each others, and how their relationships were like. But I want to point out Kukulkan's commentary left in the Secret Source Servant:

"Your descendants"... at the very least, Kukulkan acknowledged that the Dragonlords were Xiuhcoatl's descendants. (Btw, a little off-topic, but I NEED to talk about how Xiuhcoatl intentionally made the Secret Source Servants looks adorable. He could have just choose any other form that's more energy-efficient, but he insisted to use the adorable form??? My King...😭 born to make kawaii, forced to fight the Abyss, Celestia, and humans😔.)

• Let's retrace the mechanism of draconic shape-shifting a bit. Kukulkan explained that it was through the power of the Phlogiston of rewriting their physical form by borrowing the existing human ones' 'codes'.

Kukulkan: Phlogiston is an atom upon which information may be transcribed, and is itself a form of "computronium" — an element that can be used to imitate the essence of any and all things through the weaving of languageIridescent Inscriptions... This is why phlogiston can take on different forms and even switch between them, and this is also why you could see phantoms at the repair mechanisms in the Chamber of Deliberation.

- "An Omen of Annihilation and the Final Entreaty" Quest

So basically, shape-shifting is a bit like copying a code source. If someone knows the code source, they could copy the program. In this case, human soul acted as the code source, and Kukulkan stole them to copy their forms.

But this means that theoritically, this ability isn't just special to him. If someone knows programming, they could do a similar feat as him, right?

Well, well, well, who's the one who diddled with the power of Phlogiston first? Xiuhcoatl.

Kukulkan: Xiuhcoatl was the master of the first flame, wielder of all light, heat, and wisdom. He controlled the primal flame, and could even plunge his entire body into it.

And he also was the first dragon who emerged from the Primal Flame (unfortunately I didn't screenshot the text where Kukulkan said it😭 so correct me if I'm wrong.)

If he was the first master of the Primal Flame, and the one who came out with all the phlogistonization in the first place, is it too far-fetched to assume that he could also shape-shift?

But well... these are all my conjectures😅 I don't expect this to be true. I don't even know how or why he used Legba's form, and how he wasn't detected by Kukulkan all of those years. It could've been my account is kinda fucked, I haven't played certain quests, or I just dug too deep into it. And possibly because I just want my king to be alive okay😔

I also really, really, really want to dissect the Secret Source Servant's records, because damn some of those have very interesting implications😈

How about you? Does Legba in your account have changes in his dialogues? Or do you have your own theories?

Chapter two is out guys. Your welcome 🤗

Hey chat.. it is as bad as you guys said

I’m in shambles

Man, the world quest killed me…. Have a sketchbook doodle of our favourite doomed siblings… They needed a break. Some rest. I swear–

And prepare for most heart shattering artworks I’m going to make soon.

To those who have finished the WQ, which is not I, I wish to throw some salt in your wound cause I’m the nicest person you could ever meet 😁.

Listen to Exit music (for a film) by radio head and think about our king Xiuhcoatl

Observe:

Sorry for the late memes, I had a world quest to do (i have not finished so no spoilers)

We have a special one tonight featuring @kajenus and me during struggling during the quest:
