5.6 livestream codes for those who want them

(Dates with the final code)

OH HOYO, IF YOU ARE LISTENING

LET ME KEEP THEMMMMM!!!!!

(How funny would it be if this was like a Gru and the minions situation with Waxaklahun Ubah Kan and these little cuties)

This might be a hot take but every time someone hates on Natlan by comparing it to Fontaine, a angel loses its wings.

Granted I have not finished the Fontaine archon quest so I guess I can’t speak too much on it but so far I noticed the biggest differences between the two nations is that Fontaine is concentrated on current characters while Natlan is concentrated on the history of the land.

Do I wish more of the Natlan characters like Mavuika would be more fleshed out and interesting? Yes, it would be nice. Would it help the story more? Maybe. But again the current characters are not the point of what Natlan is.

Natlan as a whole focuses so much on its history and origins. All their traditions and tribes came from the original hero’s, the ancient names, the resurrection, the gadgets and tools they use, etc. Everything that Natlan is, mostly based on its history and lore.

I’ve noticed a trend with those who complain that Natlan is the worst nation and it’s those same people who beg for a skip button… why are you playing a STORY BASED game if you don’t want to read (not even cause most quests outside small side quests and world quests are voiced).

Let me make it clear, Natlan has flaws. It does. The stereotypes and lack of character development but it’s not the worst nation. With what it lacks, it makes up with the story. The lore within it is so immersive and huge, down to lore drops after lore drops about dragons to a finding out a normal human killed a sovereign and then made a deal with a shade who we later come face to face with in the AQ. 

Anyway rant over, I needed to get this out before I lost my mind.

Nibelung with no armor, no crown, no cool sword, nothing but pure :-| He's lowkey cute like that tho...

I’m officially complaining, I’ll let y’all know the update if they respond

Genshin randomly lore bombing us with the three moons lore!?

So genshin just dropped a web event that revealed ALOT about the moon sisters. I personally am more of a Dragon Lore person then a Three Moons lore so I know less about this topic.

But from what I gathered there were three moons, one for eternity. Eternity was heavily tied to Inazuma so I wonder how big of a connection it has to the land, much less Ei herself. It could also explain the statue that is in the main city which looked nothing like Ei or Makoto.

Then there is the Iridescent moon which is tied to the Crimson moon. This might sound weird but I wonder if it has any connections to the Iridescent inscriptions that the dragons used. Ixlel seemed to have known about the moons with something that fell from them so maybe that something is the material that the inscriptions are made out off. They were used to wield phlogiston so it’s unlikely that they were made from phlogiston.

The last moon, the Frost moon, stopped turning causing nations to fall. Looking at the image, this happened after the Iridescent/Crimson Moon fell into the abyss. The Frost moon is probably connected to Nod-Krai and maybe Sneznyha considering the name alone. We know that Nod-Krai worships some lunar deity (if not one when many) so this might be the moon that they worship.

After these three moons fell, it was stated a new moon arose and my personal theory on it is that it is our old friend, Welkin Moon. The other image is what I think, a teaser for Nod-Krai’s terrain, I don’t have to many thoughts about it other than that it’s most definitely mountainous.

Now what did capture my attention was the Teyvat Solar (lunar???) System.

I counted around 11 planets and obviously the three moons. If I’m being honest, I do not have a clue about which one is Teyvat.

Anyway that’s my little rant and thoughts on this insane of a lore bomb that Genshin choice to drop on us. The link for the web-event is right here: https://genshin.hoyoverse.com/moon?game_biz=hk4e_global&hyl_presentation_style=fullscreen&hyl_auth_required=true&hyl_landscape=true&hyl_hide_status_bar=true&utm_source=sns&utm_medium=reddit

What are anyone else’s thoughts about this? Like I mentioned earlier, my expertise lay with the dragons more then they do with the moons so if any lore is inaccurate or if something I said had already been confirmed, let me know ^^

Hey so I ate this, thanks for the meal

Before you guys behold my Xiuhcoatl's design, ypu guys have to read the convo of the coloring session.

>Borrowed lil bro's colored pencils. >Lil bro saw the red-blue lines & the snakes: "are you drawing toothpaste anime tentacle hentai?" >we smacked each other down. >continued to color. Lil bro somehow joined. >colored the hair. Wanted blueflame tips. Then Lil bro commented: "why there are some green there" >"wtf it isn't supposed to be there." It did. I initially wanted rainbow blotches like paints on his hair. I proceeded to gaslight my Lil bro that it wasn't there before. He didn't take it😓>"wait," said Lil bro, "shouldn't you, uh, what it's called... outline it first?" >"...idk how to outline. How about you?" >"tf no it's your drawing. Do it yourself." >"tf you're trying to color it then!!!???" >proceeded to argue before accepting that none of us can draw. >trying to finish the hair. Realized that we don't have purple pencil for gradation. Gave up. >"I still think you're trying to draw tentacle hentai" >proceeded to argue again.

Okay lo and behold, my masterpiece. It's cringe but we live that cringe life amiright.

"Why he looks like a femboy" bcs I like femboy.

WAIT BEFORE YOU GUYS STONE ME I CAN EXPLAIN-

The main inspiration for his design came from Dark Sun Gwyndolin from Dark Soul.

He have many similarities with my Xiuhcoatl. He was born as a boy, but raised as a daughter because of his affinity to moon magic. He was the youngest child of a god who brought fire to mankind. However, shit happened and the age of darkness came. His siblings died or fled one by one and he was the last one standing in his city. After his father left, he claimed himself to be the Dark Sun. He then proceeded to create illusion to maintain the city, becoming a bit tyrannical in the process. Btw he also had a "younger sister"/girl who claimed she was one, whom he was very close with but it's really unknown who's her true identity. But then shit happened again and he was devoured by a god devourer. I love his moon/sun theming, his desperation to maintain his city even if it all went shit in the end, his ambiguous gender indentity (there are debates all across the internet regarding it, but since the majority & his younger sister regarded him as a "he", I shall call him a "he"), and his SNAKES YAHOOO. Like his design is gorgeous overall but the snakes? They really elevate him to the stratosphere.

Still related to the snakes, you guys probably have read my post about Xiuhcoatl's link with the Tzitzimimeh. Now I particularly laser-focused on Coatlicue, the mother of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, the stars gods Centzon Huītznāuhtin, and the god of war and fire Huitzilopochtli. Coatlicue's name means "skirt of snakes". Oh boy how it fits Gwyndolin😋

If you count the snakes, there are 13 of them, representing the Dragonlords. "Where are the Princes" we don't know much about them😭 "are there any special distinction between the snakes" no I don't have enough skill to draw snakes😭 but I do love how the snakes sprouted out from his skirt, it looks like they sprouted from his loins *cough*, just like how they refer parents in archaic poetry & bible. For example: "Blest is the father from whose loins you sprung" (Odyssey, Book VI). Fun fact, the littlest of snakes you see in the front? I made it in the last minute when I recounted the snakes and there were only 12, but it became my favorite. Look at that silly goober🥰

Onto the dress/huipil itself... no, it's not anything special. I based it from this image:

I don't even manage to add the feathers on the rectangle😭 uoghh it could elevate his design... my Xiuhcoatl would adore to dress in ostentatious clothing and jewelery, I made a disgrace to him😓 I swear if I can draw better I'll draw him in the most elegant clothing you ever saw.

The lowest part of the skirt/cuēitl is supposed to be a frill, to give him a modern huipil (this is tehuana huipil!) touch like this:

But as you can see I suck at drawing🥰

The red-blue lines also followed the huipil's pattern, but yk, that's the color of the flame, and Xiuhcoatl is the Pyro Sovereign and based after a fiery blue serpent, so it fits🥰 "no it doesn't he looks like a toothpaste" be quiet😭

For his hair, initially, I wanted to have rainbow splotches on the tips, so his hair looks like a painting brush (his hair is dark brown). But I (my brother really) can't color to save our lives😅 then I switched to flame colors for the tips, from lightest blue to red then dark brown. However, as you can see, I fucked up😭

For his bangs, I actually based it after Lumine!

I'll save you from the brain aneurysm of theory, you only need to know that they both represent the feminine aspect of the twins.

And finally, his side feathers! You know from whom I based it!

His rizzler twin brother, Kukulkan😋 to tie them together!

For more explaination of his feminine side and his life in general, see this post.

For Xiuhcoatl's alternate design, see the one made by the amazing- I mean my sworn enemy @kajenus 👿

SPOILER FOR 5.6 ARCHON QUEST "Paralogism"

Nothing groundbreaking or long-ass post this time. But I have an observation and a correction for myself. One of the ingredients of life isn't dragon flesh, but dragon blood.

Remembering this, I instantly remembered someone else. Someone who made humans with drawing his own blood. Someone who is a serpent, or could we say, dragon-like?

Quetzalcoatl. The Plumed Serpent. God of life, light, and wisdom. Also the god of the wind through his aspect as Ehecatl.

In the legend of the cycle of the five suns, different gods ruled the world as the sun with its version of humanity, but their rules were destroyed for various reasons alongside their version of humanity. In the last cycle, the fifth sun, also the cycle we currently live in, Quetzalcoatl went to Mictlan, the underworld, to recover the bones of humanity and ressurect/create them. He used his own blood, from a wound he inflicted on his earlobes, calves, tongue, and penis, to imbue the bones with new life.

And if you guys follow me for a long time... you guys know who are the mfs who are inspired from Quetzalcoatl...

"Okay Radaedan no need to act so mysterious we know you will connect everything to Xiuhcoatl" sjjdjdjdjdjd how did you know🤨

Seeing that Neuvillette also transformed Fontainians' primordial water into real blood, I think it's confirmed that life owed their existence from the Dragon Sovereigns. But honestly, the fact that life requires dragon blood... makes you wonder if the Primordial One truly the creator of humans through their own power... or did they also stole dragon blood? If so... FUCKING COLONIZER STOP STEALING DRAGONBORN CREATIONS YOU PIECE OF SHI-

Day 3: livestream tomorrow (btw I have no idea why this one is so pixelated)
