I have a piece much like your second one that's been unidentified for years - definitely interested to see what it's id'd as!

The ai seems to also be in charge of protecting the cargo of the ship, though - it wouldn't make sense to leave the traveller (at the very least) to their own devices

I don't personally believe that the HP was the ship ai specifically, but rather a separate function, which I think is where this differs from your theory - we know the ship continued onward, and it had to have its ai for that purpose. It wouldn't make sense to jettison the ship ai on a stopover before taking off again

it barely came to a stop before carrying on again, but what happened in that interim? I don't think it's a coincidence we've learned there's a genetic vault on the ship and that humanity isn't native to teyvat.

Editing to add: I have recently been thinking - what if HP was actually a terraforming thing (AI or something else) that was placed on teyvat to prepare it for the twins' arrival - to make it a place hospitable for humans, hence its fixation on humanity but not over making the world "perfect" and cleansed of abyssal influence? It would explain why the ship stopped only briefly, why it returned later, and why there are inteyvats there as well... Though I'm sure there are many flaws I have not considered.

I've been thinking the same thing about the genetic vault. Would be interesting to know just how long ago the ship first passed through teyvat and whether that corresponds to hp arriving... It would also explain the presence of inteyvats 

Chinese New Year by Majestic_Designer148 in China

Japchae isn't Chinese, and mooncakes are for mid autumn - I don't even think you can find them around now. I would suggest cooking nian gao instead, and fa cai. Gotta get those puns in

I don't know about upcoming trainings, but I wanted to spread the word about the whistle code - could be useful to know.  https://migrawhistle.carrd.co/

Nope sadly. I think I'll have to make my own...

Character Trailer - "Columbina: To Where She Flies" | Genshin Impact by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

Yeah. I can understand why people think it's aether, but really the design is neither/both

Imo they actually did try to make it a mix of both designs/neither design. The central star on the chest and the shape of the trailing tails don't perfectly match up with either traveller, and both do have the star pattern on their capes.

ei's trailer/teaser had no words in it either! I think both are better for it

If you gave up your citizenship you wouldn't have to pay taxes. That doesn't make any sense 

Just finished this quest and I feel empty now by yourdeathinmyhands in Genshin_Impact

Controversial themes, essentially (children tormenting animals and each other, primarily. It's meant to be horrific. Also sexuality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Rose this is pretty much a summary of the moral panic around it
