@AracanthusDraws It does look similar to this part...

Rewatched a bunch of Sumeru cutscenes in preparation for 6.6, and this one has me so scared... what if Nahida or Wanderer does something like this to save Irminsul? Pls hoyo... don't take my favorite irminsul branches away 🥺

@luminesmp4 Scara with a white background and his back turned... It's difficult not to think that lol

everyone agreeing that scara’s gonna do some self sacrificial shit again😭😭😭

@tsaritsakisser I feel like this also reinforces the theory that she might be carrying out a skewed version of Koitar/Seutervoinen's dream, with Project Stuzha possibly being a "continuation" of the Elysium Project 🤔

were Voyangel's creations using Canon's moonlight, so Tsaritsa Anastasya's rebellion becomes even more personal).

I want to also point out the fact that Tsaritsa Anastasya has elf ears: it's pretty much confirmed she is a Fae like I was expecting The artifact set made me think about other possibilities, but her being a Fae makes stuff even more interesting because you'd ask: if she is a Fae-

@ilvawfulmasters Oh no, what if she has a room dedicated to the angels that took care of her (mainly Nabu Malikata, Sybilla, and Koitar) 🥲

the harp ☹️

@theleeryder In the Travail trailer, all the final acts of the different nations were mentioned, and "Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana" was the one attributed to Sumeru.

Can someone explain (without spoiling what's coming in the next update) why this title is so significant? I don't remember the lore behind it if I was ever aware in the first place

@tsaritsakisser Tiny and blurry Nicole in the background should be a common element in all official art 💯

TRUTH AMONGST THE PAGES OF PURANA It feels so nice having an official confirmation of it Also, we have the recurring theme of a tiny Nicole in the art, but even pixelated she looks beautiful

@windflowerlia : 0

@ZaleBorealis yeah same reason for me with aloy, i don't mind her at all otherwise also omg xingqiu birthday twins

i wanna see everyone else's (source in replies)

@fruberry01 I think Koitar was likely a sword user! Skirk's sword (Azurelight) description is about her speech to the angels, and there is also another mention of Koitar "raising her blade".

ok blotting out the idea for koitar I had really quick before I forget IDK WHAT WEAPON TO GIVE HERERRERRRR

@AboutNodKrai Somewhat close to mine and a Libra 😌

NICOLE BIRTHDAY: September 29 #GenshinImpact

Difficult to choose among some of them, but these are probably my favorite characters from each element!

@signofapaosha "A helmet steeped in obsession, just like the mind of its previous owner. " It does sound like Surtalogi to me, but I it could also be Seutervoinen's 🤔

did surtalogi wear this helmet

@LaLizzey Similar to what she wrote in Amsvartnir! Koitar is everything that is right

KOITAR MY FUCKING GOAT

@windorbs Where is it? I know it has voyangel lore, but I can't find it 😭

THE NEW ARTIFACT DESCRIPTIONS???

@ZaleBorealis and to top it all off, stripped her of her voice...

LUNA 7 LEAKS NICOLE WEAPON throwing up

@tsaritsakisser To add to this, Skirk also mentioned that Nicole's species self-destructed (seemingly blaming the angels for their fall), and I think she heard that from Nicole herself. It could also be Skirk's interpretation, but i doubt it.

I wouldn’t say she was confused, but she didn’t understand the reason behind it. Unlike Koitar & Zibai who have displayed love for humanity, Nicole is shown to be detached from it. She helps guide humans since that has always been her job as an Angel, but there have been clues-

Nicole: Clamor Within The Silent "Mage," the Voiceless "Angel" #GenshinImpact #Nicole Many of the stories Nicole envisions begin with a phrase as old as stories themselves: "Long, long ago..." Perhaps, for some authors, "long ago" is less the threshold of a tale than a refuge from all further questioning. For once a story is consigned to unreachable distance, all the people and events bound up within it may as well have faded into obscurity, leaving no path by which the present might truly follow them back. And yet, in Nicole's thoughts, those stories of "long ago" endure still. Long ago, the lights of many nations filigreed the earth in gleaming gold. Long ago, the daughters of heaven wandered in carefree grace betwixt divine courts and mortal cities. Long ago, the sovereign of ages past, who had descended into deepest darkness, had not yet brought disaster back to his homeland. Long ago, the three radiant moons that hung aloft in the night heavens were still three... The years brook no pause, the wheel spinning onward all the same. Within a cycle emptied of hope, the spark of paradise perished alongside the lives annihilated. Servitors once loyal to their ruler turned traitor for the sake of the lives that had been fashioned. The black dragonlord returned from beyond the stars. The moonlit chariot of the heavens shattered like crystal... The story had not reached its end. Rather, it was those who had once read it, and those who had once listened to its telling, who had long since taken their leave. The angel who once longed to write laughter into the world lost all that had once made laughter possible. In the end, she even lost the voice with which she laughed, and could speak no more. Thus, it seemed that the story Nicole kept within her would never properly find its beginning. She could only go on cradling her many "long agos," roaming the world and watching as all things passed, changed, and were remade by time. That remained so until the day she met a tiny mage in an enormous hat, its extravagant brim tipped up with such pride it seemed almost ready to brush the sky. Compared with the hat she wears now, however, it was still a fair few sizes smaller. The little witch tucked herself down at Nicole's side and listened intently as one story after another unfolded, not stirring until she had finished her drink and emptied her bag of biscuits. "So you really are an angel? And all those stories were real, too?" "Then yay, that works! I'm a mage, and you're an angel, so we match perfectly." The merry little mage stretched out a hand to the angel who had come so far, all the way from those distant "long agos," and warmly invited her along. "Want to join my Hexenzirkel? I only just came up with the name, but it has a real ring to it, don't you think?" "It's going to be the funnest, awesomest, best club in all of Teyvat — I promise!" "..." No answer came from the angel. None could. But the little mage did not wait for one. She caught the angel's hand in both of her own and slipped the last piece of candy into her palm. "There. Now our mages' pact is made." Nicole had no thought of joining then, nor could she have guessed what this little gathering called the "Hexenzirkel" would one day grow into. But at the very least... It did sound like a place with happiness enough to spare.

@signofapaosha Same 😅. And also the Voyager for that matter lol

me liking both koitar and nicole

wondering if people are aware these scripts are a direct contrast to koitar the first angel and what she stood for. the vanquished proud are those who rebelled against celestia, the crumbled tower is what became of the tower koitar helped create in her pursuit to free humanity
