❕️genshin impact 4.2 spoilers

can someone make a fic where the traveller and paimon aren't absolute asses to furina during her story quest? that instead of belittling her trauma (disrespecting the boundaries she made for herself) and reducing her personality as a 'diva' (paimon actually said this 'to lighten the mood', but after all these years she still can't read the room), they should just acknowledge she suffered every single day within 500 (five centuries*) years? thanks xoxo.

Small spoilers for Fontaine Archon quest/4.2 update

///

Looking back, outside of maybe Venti, all of the Archons have been « freed » during the Quests: Zhongli is free from his duty, Ei is free from her self-imposed eternity, Nahida is literally free from her prison (and more metaphorically her self-doubt), and Furina is free from her « godhood » (or her performance however you want to see it).

I am not sure what Venti could be free from but being the embodiment of freedom i do believe his relationship with everything that happened is much more complexe than presented.

There is two main things that created and reflect that freedom: meeting Traveller and losing the Gnosis. I have a feeling that they are free because by giving away the Gnosis (for most) they are freeing themselves from the Heavenly Principles.

Actually Venti is the only one where the Gnosis was taken by force (i do think he allowed for it to be stolen). I don’t know what this means but if someone has ideas i’d love to hear them.

While this is super funny (Postage Paimon) there is something sweet about her being our address.

Fontaine 4.2 archon quest spoilers below <3

I'm so like,,,,, emotional rn like???

First of all, I'm torn on how to feel about Focalor. On one hand, ultimately what she did saved countless people in Fontaine. On the other, she condemned Furina to 500 years of solitude, playing a role that, personally, I think she got tired of very, very quickly. I haven't played her story quest yet, so I'm not sure how Furina feels about it, but even just knowing that she abdicated her position and then left the Court of Fontaine/The Opera entirely is telling.

Also,,, could you imagine being Neuvillete? Your friend brought you into the human world and for 500 years, you've gained compassion and love for them. Then to find out that it was a calculated move by your friend, who as it turns out, has been essentially putting on an act for literally everyone INCLUDING the gods of gods (heavenly principals) like. thats gotta hurt.

again, it was foe the greater good; ultimately an entire nation was saved because of this but they doesn't automatically make all the messy complicated emotions go away.

genuinely, the team did amazing with this quest and ngl this is an example of a 'grey' hero being done right. like, I can already hear the "focalor was icky and mean v focalor did nothing wrong Actually" debate coming up, both sides refusing to acknowledge that, yes, it was a bitch move to not tell anyone - ESPECIALLY the person you are condemning to 500 years of basically loneliness cause if she slips ones ur whole plan is fucked - and on the other, it feels like a necessary evil? it's not good, but it's not wholly bad you get me? someone more eloquent could probably put this into better words.

I just.

“This regret has filled me with a sadness that has haunted me for days.” Neuvillette worked his way to my heart so quickly. I absolutely adore him. 💙

Contrast and Unity in the White/Black Imagery of Genshin Impact Quest Titles

Dragonspine 1.2 & 2.3 Events, Fontaine Act I

Game: Genshin Impact

Developer: HoYoverse

Fan Localization: Dusk

An aside from when I tried to explain the meaning of Kreideprinz’s Chinese term—

In Chinese, 白垩 is used to refer to Albedo with varying meanings but in the English version the term is even less consistent:

Concealed Talon item description 白垩层 (baie ceng) = “Cretaceous Layer” (of soil) localized as “Cretaceous”

Albedo’s Story Quest Chapter title 白垩之章 (baie zhi zhang) = “Cretaceous Chapter” localized as “Princeps Cretaceous Chapter”

Albedo’s second Ascension voiceline, 白垩 (baie) = “chalk”/“Cretaceous”, localized as “albedo”, the second stage of the alchemical magnum opus

(even though in the context of alchemy, the albedo (Latin: “whitening”) stage should be 白化 (baihua, whitening) in Chinese because the albedo stage does not refer to chalk/limestone)

Albedo’s title 白垩之子 (baie zhi zi) = possibly varies slightly depending on context that it appears in, localized as “Kreideprinz”

Xingqiu’s “About Albedo” voiceline, 白垩老师 (baie laoshi) = (teacher) “Mr. Cretaceous” (Latin) or “Mr. Chalk” (English) or “Mr. Kreide” (German) localized as “Mr. Kreideprinz”

Version 1.2’s name 白垩与黑龙 (baie yu heilong) = “The White Chalk and the Black Dragon” or “Cretaceous and the Black Dragon”

or one can localize it in German like how they did the 4.0 Chapter IV Act I “Prelude of Blancheur and Noirceur” (French: “Prelude of Whiteness and Blackness” or ”Prelude of Innocence and Darkness”)

though, officially, Version 1.2’s name 白垩与黑龙 is localized as “The Chalk Prince and the Dragon”

Speaking of black and white in titles, another aside—

Don’t you know that HoYoverse loves juxtaposing white/black or light/shadow in its quest titles

1.2 Dragonspine event

Chinese: 白垩与黑龙 (Baie yu Heilong) = “The White Chalk and the Black Dragon”

Official English: “The Chalk Prince and the Dragon”

2.3 Dragonspine event

Chinese: 皑尘与雪影 (Aichen yu Xueying) = “White Dust and Snowy Shadows”

Official English: “Shadows Amidst Snowstorms”

皑 from 白雪皑皑 (baixue aiai) usually refers the whiteness of snow specifically, so 皑尘 as “(snowy) white dust” is just their over-the-top way to say “snow”.

“Snowy Dust and Snowy Shadows” sounds too humorous though.

I’VE BEEN WANTING TO SAY THIS FOR A LONG TIME NOW: of course symbolism-wise it’s likely that “white dust” refers to Albedo, “snow” refers to the Cryo Whooperflower Albedo, and “shadow” refers to Primordial Albedo, with Durin encompassing all three as the shadow dragon that lies dead—like dust—in the snowy mountain.

HoYoverse being HoYoverse has found a way to say white and black without even using the hanzi for white (白) and black (黑) back in 2.3.

4.0 Fontaine Act I

Chinese: 白露与黑潮的序诗 (Bailu yu Heichao de Xushi) = Prelude of White Dew and Black Tides

Official English: “Prelude of Blancheur and Noirceur”

with French terms translated: “Prelude of Whiteness and Blackness” or “Prelude of Innocence and Darkness”

Given the information in 4.0, I would assume that “white dew” refers to Furina and “black tides” refers to Neuvillette seeing how Furina’s always at the front of key visuals and Neuvillette’s always looming ominously over the background, but you can also think of it as innocence vs guilt, I suppose.

POETIC ALLUSION UPDATE: 白露 alludes to the Chinese poem “蒹葭”(Jianjia) = “Reed”

from the ancient collection of poems, 诗经 (Shijing)

The poem is basically the narrator talking about not being able to reach their lover, who’s on the other side of the water (lake?)

The act’s Chinese title is already over-the-top—since most people would look at it and think “ah white and black and something about water, got it”—so localization’s aim is to match the fancy feel and not the accuracy ‘cause honestly if you localize all that into French it’d be too long. This makes sense…

Though, the implication that French holds such a high prestige that its mere presence is enough to balance out some loss of meaning from the Chinese title is… strange, now that I think of it.

白露与黑潮的序诗 (Prelude of White Dew and Black Tides) in French would be “Prélude de la rosée blanche et des marées noires”… I think. (Please correct me if I’m wrong.)

This time HoYoverse found another way to say white and black while using the hanzi characters AND STILL BE EXTRA BECAUSE THEY ALLUDED TO A CHINESE POEM OF COURSE THEY DID. ARCHONS, man…

New drinking game: take a shot whenever black/white or dark/light is juxtaposed in a Genshin title/name of any language, take another shot if they don’t actually use the word/character for black/white in the target language, take another if they alluded to a Chinese poem or literature in the original LOL

can we talk about how perfect his cutscene was?

I love how it’s obviously an unreliable narrative because we already know the “betrayals” he’s talking about didn’t exactly play out that way literally.

ei let him go because she felt it was too cruel to make him store the gnosis, katsuragi was killed during the whole mishap after warning scara to not reveal his identity (and we know scara destroyed the raiden gokaden as revenge before finding katsuragi & kazuha’s ancestor), and the last kid who died obviously didn’t “literally” break his promise as death isn’t something in his control

yet i think it makes perfect sense why he’d even view them as such as anyone “leaving him” in any form after ei is obviously a “betrayal” in his eyes. more so, it could be that he doesn’t even know how to describe his sadness as anything other because that’s all he knows…i love how the cutscene makes you sympathise and understand how he came to be, but it doesn’t take away from everything he’s done. how he doesn’t understand mortality, and how the gnosis still seems to be viewed as his “purpose” (it’s what he was made for, and he got thrown out because in his eyes he was too fragile to handle it, of course he wants to prove ei and himself wrong and show he can fullfill his ‘purpose’). i love him so much i’m so excited also big props to the eng va because the way his voice broke when he called ei his mother…

It is cool that we finally get his feeling/thoughts on all this.

It's also nice to know that he isn't a Khaenri'ah spy. My man would never betray Mondstadt.
