My Take on Reasons why Visions are Granted, Based on the Traveler's Journey

I'm going insane. Also, hi, not dead yet.

There's been a bunch of theories on why Visions are granted, whether it depended on the allogene's ambition, values, personality, defining moment, etc. To each their own, and my own view on this matter is that the reasons why Visions are granted can be surmised using the Traveler's journey.

Not sure if anyone else has done this take yet, but I'd love to know to compare notes.

ANEMO

Let's start with our first element. We receive Anemo at the very, very beginning, when we have zero memories, zero clues, basically we're at zero for everything. After obtaining Anemo, we make our first friends in Teyvat, join the Adventurer's Guild and become an honorary member of the KoF. In other words, Anemo is about beginnings. Anemo is given to those who desire a new start or who are already on a new journey and are just discovering themselves.

GEO

Next element is Geo. When we obtain Geo, we already have surer footing in Teyvat. We know what we need to do, we have plans to achieve our goals, and we've basically got a rough draft of what we're doing. After obtaining Geo, our reputation in Teyvat is solidified. We're a hero, we get recognition as such, and this is where people start to recognize us. Geo is about firmness (hahaha). Geo is given to those who have set a plan for their lives, who have decided upon what they want to do, and who people define based on said goals.

ELECTRO

Before entering the nation, we already have the identity of a hero. After obtaining Electro, our identity and reputation takes a drastic change from hero to criminal. We choose to value our own ideals and understanding of the situation which clashes with the gov't of the nation, or the status quo. Electro is about personal identity. Electro is given to those whose identity is in conflict, or which don't agree with the status quo.

DENDRO

Before this nation, our conflicts were very straightforward. We have one bad guy, a collection of allies from our chosen side, and a mentor we can always rely on to appear (prev. examples: Venti, Zhongli, Yae Miko). After obtaining Dendro, the conflict becomes more complicated. There are layers upon layers of conflicting motives and factions. We see the corrupt body, but we cannot act to remove it immediately. Our allies each came from different factions and all had their own motives. We weren't the only highlight this time, since a political coup cannot succeed or rely upon a single individual (looking at you, Inazuma). Nahida, our mentor and first true ally, is notable absent. Our main objectives were to gather information, reliable sources and allies, discern the truth through deductive reasoning, and then follow through with the best possible outcome. We acted more as a catalyst rather than a hero or villain here (I love this AQ so bloody much it's my fav).

Knowledge and wisdom became our most essential weapons; we used them to navigate through this complicated environment. However, I believe that Dendro is actually about the truth, while knowledge and wisdom are the tools used to seek it. Dendro is given to those who always seek the truth, and who value honesty even if they do not always practice it. They have their own personal truths that they accept and uphold, and dislike deception and illusions that cloud one's judgement. And who else seeks the truth above all but scholars?

HYDRO

(Still not sure on this one since we haven't gotten to the end of the AQ, so take this with a grain of salt. )

So, to recap, we've played a multitude of roles since arriving in Teyvat. We were always able to get by from scratch. After obtaining Hydro, we gain the role of an attorney to defend Lyney, and we are bound by laws and societal perspective. We are thrust into a whole new role with more rigid rules than before. After all this, we then play the role of infiltrating prisoner, and again, we are bound by rules and regulations we did not previously experience. In other words, we were actually forced to respect and obey the laws while doing our usual thing, unlike our criminal-like behavior before (I like how, in the entirety of our stay, the only times we got arrested were by choice, did you notice?).

So, from what I know for now, Hydro is about adaptation. Hydro is given to those who are thrust into difficult roles with rigid rules and standards they must abide by. As much as they desire their personal freedom from the role, they still succeed in their environment and have simply accepted their positions, mainly because they feel they have no choice.

Compilation of B9 empress!Jiu AU that i’ve drawn! This AU is still my favorites among many other B9 AUs (yet i rarely draw this AU X’D)

Venmo me 150 dollars and I'll draw sqq pregnant, I'm going to art school, I'm pretty good at drawing. Venmo me 200 dollars, and I'll program a Scum Villain's Dating Sims System (joke)

Controversial BSD Take: I have nothing against Akutagawa, he's amazing meme material, love when he's on screen-

But I don't really care—in fact, I'm fully supportive of Atsushi saying "No wonder Dazai left you" to him because 1) he doesn't really know the full story, 2) Akutagawa has triggered his flashbacks multiple times throughout S1, and 3) I love when villains with tragic back stories have those stories used against them.

Please don't judge, I'm here for the hot characters and even hotter lore

i feel obligated to not only confess that I have started tears of themis and am enjoying it, but also that I've gotten myself a marius curse and I am deeply unhappy about it

Fukuzawa has the worst luck. Imagine having one and a half friends ever and they both end up trying to murder you because you won’t just let them commit atrocities and they’re bitter about it. No wonder he only interacts with his employees and cats, I would never talk to anyone my age ever again.

good luck to future historians trying to analyse the connection between the queen of england, trisha paytas, reigen arataka, and sans undertale

On Twitter everyone's either memeing or mourning this is incredible
