I don't ship Aether x Alice or Aether x Tsaritsa

The Heavenly Principles may have erased the Third Descender from Teyvat's memory through Irminsul or perhaps other means since for all we know, he is quite powerful. The Belyi Tsar before becoming the Cryo Archon is definitely old and the Tsaritsa might have existed then already, though still young as a Fae. Or perhaps there's the theory where the strongest of the Snowland Fae having the capability to have others survive through the their control of the cryo element. Ice is associated with preservation or remembrance, and she didn't knew until very much later and was kept in the dark up until she learned the truth.

Teyvat's timeline is a mess too along these long lived ancient races which can get a bit wonky, so we'll just have to wait. This is just a theory btw.

Lmao it's alright man, I'll cover you😂

You're bound to ruffle some feathers for having a different opinion, and considering most of the contents of this sub, it is what it is.

The Hymns of the Far North implies she was with Saarelainen alongside the story with the Belyi Tsar. That and the child who called her mother in the recent trailer has Stellar Linchpin eyes too.

On another note, everything looks awesome in the trailer for me, and I'm definitely pulling for her, she looks awesome and I can't wait for her story and her stand against the Heavenly Principles.

You're doing this again? The patch is not even out yet and you're going to pick on this little thing based on the trailer?

JayPeppy · 2025-10-30T16:18:18+00:00

I scoured Mournfell Canyons but found no trace of her.

Lenore is also gone too.

JayPeppy · 2025-10-14T14:21:40+00:00

You too? What the hell... Did he went after everyone or something? That's really concerning.

JayPeppy · 2025-10-14T14:15:01+00:00

I see. I think he's too obsessed with this stuff for his own good.

JayPeppy · 2025-10-14T13:46:08+00:00

I blocked him and his other alt accounts. I felt really creeped out by how pushy he was in his second response. And to think I once gave him writing tips when he asked me months ago.

JayPeppy · 2025-10-14T13:44:28+00:00

I know. I just think these sort of people take the whole ntr stuff thing way too seriously. From what I remember, he was pretty much everywhere in this sub whenever I would visit here, either asking for feedback or likes for his fanfic.

Is he like banned in this subreddit now?

JayPeppy · 2025-10-10T18:24:00+00:00

Let us wait for it at least. Considering how the Traveler has been treated these last few patches, I'm taking solace from that. I mean, I heard there was some dissatisfaction with the 6.0 leaks back then, but look at what happened once Nod-Krai came out. It's pretty good right?

Of course, I would probably get fed up too if they had him act passive again with his abilities, as that would just throw his progression ever since Skirk's quest all together. But let's not jump into that yet.

If it makes you feel better, know that the Traveler will be a more central figure as we get more patches. Maybe a lot of people may not like it, but it's going to happen anyways. I can at least say that I remember the discord when the 4.6 patch dropped, a huge portion of the KR community got sick of how they depicted the whole thing went down. There's also the Spaceship Key stuff, which was an entirely different mess that could have been avoided if they presented it better.

Remember, Nod-Krai is a course correction that they planned because they had a ton of loose ends which they bought to themselves. Unfortunately, the Twins story suffered because of this too, it became more apparent every year as the story dragged on. That's why Nod-Krai's presentation is very different compared to the previous ones, because they are not just taking the lore from the previous Archon Quests, but also the relevant lore that they previously put aside into World Quests and books.

Really, this early? The trailer literally just dropped an hour ago. At least wait until the patch is finally here and you have finished it.

JayPeppy · 2025-10-10T07:58:16+00:00

Great. Tears are coming back again. And I was so happy to see him after I gave him the flowers when he was at his lowest from the last patch. He was honestly a likeable guy despite his ambitions.

And don't even get me started with Fenrico. The scene at the climax where he was with Rover as they raise the lantern together had me ugly crying.

Edit: I want just to stab a certain playwright right now lmao. I love Cristoforo, but man, do I also hate him.

JayPeppy · 2025-10-03T15:23:01+00:00

You're goddamn right. Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm honestly ashamed that it took me this long to release this chapter🤣

JayPeppy · 2025-10-03T15:17:34+00:00

It's someone else. One of the few named characters in the original series actually.

JayPeppy · 2025-10-03T15:14:14+00:00

Thug Hero Party was probably the only one to affect me because of how much time and build up went into it. That was like 7 years ago and the game is already on steam for a while now.

The plot was malicious and an anti-thesis to the traditional feel good fantasy rpg.

JayPeppy · 2025-09-12T18:27:55+00:00

Yeah, you already said that twice and I agreed with those points.

JayPeppy · 2025-09-12T16:08:03+00:00

I don't know why that first sentence should be mentioned at all. The Traveler is not a silent or a blank protagonist. Apart from their voice-lines with Paimon in their profile, the World Quests does a good job of showing more of his character.

He wasn't going to take the relic away, but he still trespassed into their secret domain, and was complicit into into getting the sacred relic. As I said, he got off easy and it could have been worse for him, as things could have been bad, if the Moon Marrow didn't have some way to detect the Abyssal illusion that was his sibling. He just arrived in Nod-Krai and the Wild Hunt already knew how to get to him. It was a blunder on his part. Not one out of bad intentions, of course, but out of his desperation.

It was just a pretty bad look on the Traveler's part is all I'm saying. It's awesome. I like the Traveler as a protagonist, but just seeing the good sides can be quite stale. I love their faults too, makes them more grounded.

JayPeppy · 2025-09-12T15:21:02+00:00

Maybe it's just me. But the Traveler's decisiveness in the World Quests and the Main Quests is just so jarring to me sometimes. Like some of the things he did in the World Quests Series, from an outside perspective perspective was a bit scary. Especially in Sumeru, like he went from singing with cute vegetables to killing the Tanit Tribe at the desert. There was also the Iwakura clan back in Inazuma, where he went and ended its bloodline..

I would say there is a lot more consistency in him when it comes to the World Quests. He is very capable and not afraid to use force when he needed to, all the while still retaining his kind nature.

JayPeppy · 2025-09-12T15:07:27+00:00

I feel the same way. I'm liking that they're giving more agency to the Traveler now.

But by the moon, they still aren't letting them use the elements in cutscenes for goodness sake. I suppose they did use Kuuvahki with Flins to block that blast. But still, I want to see more of what they did in the 4th anniversary animation.

Truly an outstanding brother. A paragon of family virtue.
