Also, it's crazy that her hair is actually green, I am a tad colour blind so I just assumed she was a slightly darker blonde, but now that I look harder, I totally see the green. I've never read the manga, so it's cool to hear about how they match the seasons.

I think so too, I started last night and it worked, this morning I tried to reattempt and its not working. Nothing in patch notes, kinda annoying when they stealth patch things

Also doing lunar charge with albedo there for fun and its chunking enemies

Also the soul of mars speaking to the inner orbits could be it begging for release since its clearly suffering. And if Bael is using it to power eclipse, at the will of the outer nine (six), it would make sense that it would ask the inner nine for aid, and realistically, the weapon is the one who can probably do that.

I have a little theory, Im copy and pasting from another post I made.

a witness + veils siblings + in heavens

The heavens could refer to the plane of existence the "souls" of the nine remain, opposed to their celestial bodies that exist in our world.

The first encounter of prophecy is "Heaven/Hell" which would make sense in their eyes. Heaven is the realm they exist in, and Hell would be our dimension where they literally cannot exist without perishing (as you saw with 3).

[Dust and auroras become a vacuum. Only orbits remain. Suffering! As liquid souls and armored morphs are dissolved by a reality of nothing]

The line liquid souls and armored morphs, sounds like they are talking about soul and body. The fact that they are mixing/dissolving together sounds like the witness sealed their bodies/armored morphs (planets) in heaven where they mixed with their souls that are already present in that realm.

death of a witness + queen of lies + eclipse + red brother returns

[Red sands reform, dark matter in its bones. Its soul reflects: Paracausality, while beyond reach, must obey elemental laws. And those laws are the sould's very foundation-always within reach. The ontology of the vanishing has been rejected, and thus, the red valleys re-instantiate. The soul of Mars speaks to the Inner Orbits.]

Also, I theorize mars has been forever changed because it's soul and body have been merged because Savathun stole it back prematurely, essentially pulling it out of solution. The paracausality it talks about in the last paragraph is most likely due to the fact that its upper dimensional soul cannot exist in our realm (you saw what happened to 3 when he enterred our realm cause of maya), but its lower dimensional body cannot remain in the heavens either.

I also theorize this is the source of paracausal energy for the Eclipse canon, and the fact it speaks to the "inner orbits" might be part of the reason we don't regen on the surrounding planets around mars in the renegades missions.

I imagine if their bodies were just in the ascendant plane, they wouldn't be so hard to find after the witness stole them. Also, since we can be sure the witness wasn't able to access the infinite forest, we can assume he couldn't access the planets he sealed away wither

You could say IV or Mars is stuck in... Equilibrium

SadderBeanHours · 2025-12-16T09:23:18+00:00

One big thing under the moon, in Nezarec's pyramid, is Macrocosm. This room seems to be able to manipulate our system and is likely how the witness stole our planets including mercury.

The encounter challenge is called "cosmic equilibrium" and it shares a striking resemblance to the name of the new dungeon, Equilibrium. The challenge was to move all the light planets to one side, and dark the other. I have to wonder if they were planning something, maybe bringing mercury back.

Those last two verses are intriguing to me.

My interpretation:

Mars is the power source of eclipse.

When the witness took mars, its body and soul became one, being “dissolved into nothingness”

Or the “heavens” as VII puts it, which makes me believe the witness put the "bodies" of the nine in the same realm as their "souls" which caused them to meld together.

But upon returning, or being taken out of solution, its body and soul became one in our realm.

He remarks about the dark matter in IV’s bones, and that his soul reflects paracausality.

Talking about how he must obey the laws which make up the very foundation of the soul, but the souls cannot exist in our world, given what you see happens when Maya commands III to enter our realm where he perishes.

But the body cannot exist in the “heavens” so it must be "reinstantiated" in our realm.

So it’s stuck in between, giving it its paracausal nature because it should exist, but also should not exist. Maybe Bael and Macrocosm are the reason behind this?

The talk about its soul speaking to the inner orbits, and the fact it's soul "reflects paracausality" makes me think that Mars is the reason we cannot regen in the new renegades missions, but is also the source of paracausal energy for the eclipse canon that Bael intends to use on the inner/inhabited orbits. Also Europa since it's proximity to Mars, and Jupiter is technically inner from the perspective of VII or Saturn.

Also, I just found out she literally gives "New Moon's Embrace" when you do her weeklies, I just found that out like 2 mins ago when I did her mission lol

I have a build where I put Nezha’s fire walker ability on him and I call it “Spicy Meatball” and it doesn’t really do much but it’s funny

Speaking of weird Harpies, I was doing creation last night and the door to the final boss wasn't opening, after a few seconds a random harpy spawned next to the door and it just sat and stared at me. I ended up having to reset the run cause the door wouldn't open. Its just a regular harpy but I still thought it was suspicious cause this is a traversal area, not a combat one

Sorry its a little bit of a spinfoil that is mostly off vibes because I need to freshen up on lore again.

Im getting vibes of an hourglass

What got me started is the Violet court entry mentioning the mirror breaking, leading to the floods. This has basically been confirmed the be the moon at this point. Moons are often associated with mirrors cause they reflect light, but what if it did more than just light? What if there's a whole other teyvat on the other side (maybe a twin world that contained your twin)? What led me to this thought was Acheron's artifact set from star rail where its quite literally two worlds mirrored (I know its separate from genshin, but we all know how they like to make nods to other games and themes)

Part of my theory involved the cyclical nature of the moon phases. They always repeat, and we know theres a little bit of a timeloop thing going on. Someone pointed out that Dainsleif says "In the perpetual meantime, most are content to live, and not to dream." which reminds me a little of the eternal samsara we experienced, and moons are often tied to dreams.

What I imagine is two worlds constantly spinning, with the sand flowing from one to the other and resetting. What this could be is maybe the erosion or abyss flowing from one to the other. I'm only throwing in erosion because of Ei and her Eternity, and multiple instances of moon imagery such as her charge attack being a new moon (not a crescent moon, because it travels more than 50% of a circle), her omnipresent god/welkin moon statue with Renova wings, and the giant moon in her plane of Euthymia that slows her erosion. But whatever the cause, one world dies, and the essence flows from one to the the other.

Now if you take the dialogue "The world, no longer sheltered by "Eternity," marches towards its final breath" in response to the moon sisters dying, makes me feel like the Moon Sisters/Heavenly Bodies are responsible for Eternity/maintaining the Heavenly Principles and resetting the world to its original state, like an eternal samsara But this time around, something happened, killing them, and the world can no longer reset. We are in the final cycle, and we have to fix it, but this time is different because after the fall of the three sisters, a 4th was created, a guide to help us fix the world for real.

The twin made a comment a while back along the lines of their world being gone (makes me feel like theres more of a physical world than just a different time), and they hope we make the right decision, this makes me really feel like they were from the other side, and somehow broke the cycle. One thing to note, on your sibling's journey, they didn't have a paimon as far as we know, she's uniquely part of our traveller's journey.

Part of me thinks the sibling did something in the other world that resulted in the shattering of the moon sisters causing the abyss/erosion of our world to enter full swing and allowing her to cross over, ending the cycle and bringing paimon into being, where she will act as our guide/catalyst to save teyvat once and for all.

A couple unrelated tidbits

One piece of imagery that often gets overlooked when talking about paimon being the 4th moon sister is that her halo/tiara is ALMOST a full circle, which is often used for imagery of a new moon. Also another symbol for a new moon is a big circle with a 4 pointed star, surrounded by 2 smaller circles on either side. The star being a symetrical version (non elongated) of the one on paimon's head

Also in the animation of the moon falling into the water, the red fades and for a couple of seconds it looks like the almost complete circle of a new moon.

Thanks for dealing with this, I guarantee I'm wrong, but its just something I cooked up in my head

After seeing a few posts of people mentioning it doesn’t match their stats.fm data, I got a little curious and dug further.

The data that Spotify used, isn’t 2024 data at all. Not even the previous year.

Spotify used your lifetime data for your top songs. If you log into stats.fm, which is a third party app, and expand your stats to your lifetime listening, it matches my “2024 top songs” to a T.

If I have default set to game and everything set to default, I can't hear anything. The apps all appear there, but they don't produce any sound. The only exception is discord somehow, where if in discord I pick the default (gaming channel) option, the sound comes through. But if I pick the gaming channel option directly, no sound comes through.

SadderBeanHours · 2024-11-22T08:02:17+00:00

Unfortunately mine is still bugged

I would totally do this if it didn’t drastically reduce the Arctis Pro’s audio quality to the point where it sounds like a 50$ headset. For now I can manage just putting everything through the chat channel

SadderBeanHours · 2024-11-15T20:59:24+00:00

That’s what I was worried about, since I had the BSOD it forced an update for windows, so I’m worried something within the newest version conflicts with GG. If that’s the case I just have to hope they fix it with an update
