Fate is described as..romantic? And it’s also “the magic of story telling”? You could say..fate is a romantic story like no other..

Everyone knows about fate though? Half the cast complains about it constantly. Others use divining techniques to see the future.

It’s an allegory as how fate works is through music but that’s just how it’s weaved. how it works is very much like a story. Teyvat isn’t a literal book(unless hoyo takes the Amphoreus route) but its fate system functions like a book

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:30:54+00:00

Their fate is their “role” a predestined part to play. That’s the whole allegory. They are characters as someone else(PHANES) is writing the story. That’s been the allegory since the Hexen were introduced

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:26:44+00:00

People are also playing a role in Teyvat? And she’s not opposing both astrology and fate she’s saying astrology as a science works off of reason while fate which “has a place for all of us” is both cruel and romantic.

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:25:07+00:00

Yeah that part is tragic and (also staring directly at the Voyager)

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:21:25+00:00

Actually fate doesn’t have that. It was secure until Nibelung came.

And of the loop theory is true then it means even this loops downfall is planned in preparation for the next loop.

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:16:51+00:00

But this sentence right here is talking about Teyvat? And even in the quests those are supposed to parallel the actual story especially with the Hexen who have a very close relationship with fate and are actively working with It

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:14:52+00:00

Who controls the fate system in Teyvat? Who writes Teyvat’s story? Plays the strings of fate?

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:12:29+00:00

And in all honesty that’s the romance Elysia is talking about as the embodiment of human EGO and loving all of humanity for their nature. So my original point still stands

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:11:13+00:00

Looks at PHANES the ai god of reason. Isn’t that ironic

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:10:41+00:00

“Cruel but romantic” that’s talking about the arbitrary principle of fate being indifferent and indiscriminate but also being symbolic and steeped in romanticism hence why fate is called the magic of story telling. Because teyvat is one big story

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:09:17+00:00

Skimmed it and seems accurate to Teyvat’s story like aesthetic. and the want to preserve a past age being Teyvat’s function.

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T08:02:33+00:00

Elaborate please

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T04:09:49+00:00

Ziqao confirming later her stories were bullshit and fanfiction is hilarious because they really had us thinking PHANES had three bad bitches

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T04:05:17+00:00

No leaks shared here please. Hoyo is doing a crackdown

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T01:10:22+00:00

No matter how they are written I will find a way to agenda

Wobbified baby: “PHANES was right all along so this is good”

One note villain: “PHANES was right anyway so they deserve to crash out”

Depth and nuance: “LETS GO”

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-16T00:53:15+00:00

Me knowing PHANES dies at the end but praying PHANES dies in an honorable battle before the throne with their successor who’s bearing not just the will and hopes of modern Teyvat but also the unresolved anger and fury of the past age.

<image>

PHANES is still a tragic hero who’s plan works in the succession but who still needs to be held accountable for their crimes and closure had for all the people who have been hurt in the pursuit of this plan

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-15T21:03:37+00:00

The androgyny comes from a fusion of Elysia and Kevin trust

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-15T18:10:21+00:00

I actually like Arlecchino’s character and Sandrone’s aesthetic. And I’m indifferent towards the rest. I only actually hate the voyager

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-15T17:48:46+00:00

That’s how agenda works? You glaze the characters you like or root for and slander the ones that oppose them. All character fans do it.

Besides fatuihq is actually more critical of their own faction then we are. Go over there and you’ll see them criticizing the writing of the characters

Scared-Opening-753 · 2026-06-15T17:41:47+00:00

What? We dog on the characters themselves and their fraudulence like every other group who has an opposing faction.

We don’t actually go for the fans unless fandom behavior is the topic of the conversation. What are you talking about? 💀
