Obviously, spoiler warnings for Sumeru and Nod-Krai's Archon Quests.

Okay, WHAT the heck just happened??? I need to rant about the story and possible lore implications. Disclaimer, I am a lore enthusiast, but I have parental controls so I can't really play that much, and I miss out on many World Quests. I often watch quests on You Tube, so I might be a little bit lost with Jeht and Liloupar.

Number one. Nahida burned Irminsul. She did need the the "approval" of the Shades, who didn't really seem to care that much. It was more like the "are you sure you want to delete the file" screen in computers than anything. Unsurprisingly, Asmoday wasn't there.
And Naberuis called Nahida "Mahakusaladhamma". If anybody has any idea of what that means, please comment.
I also noticed that, back when Dottore "left Sumeru, but also stayed in Sumeru", Nahida easily traded the Electro Gnosis, stating that she couldn't use it. But this time, she did use (and "destroy") the Pyro Gnosis. And while Irminsul gets turned into a bonfire, the Heavenly Principles are SOMEHOW STILL asleep???

Regarding the Pyro Gnosis, I don't believe that it has been destroyed for a second. That would rend the Tsaritsa's plan useless, since she needs all seven Gnoses. Nahida also implied that destroying a Gnosis would awaken the HP, and... well, that hasn't happened.

Also, is there any way that Dottore also remembered Rukkhadevata? He did remember Scaramouche, and with Irminsul burned, is there really a need to keep Rukkhadevata a secret? Maybe I'm looking too hard into this, but during the final cutscene, there were two people in each seat of the Eternal Oasis except for Nahida's seat. Thoth and Sethos for Deshret, Nicole and Collei for Nabu Malikata, and Nahida suspiciously alone.

But at this point in the story, fate in Teyvat is pretty much useless. We have a moon, a real one, the false sky is almost public knowledge, and now the one thing that controlled fate has been burned and its data transferred to a human-handled device?

Yeah, I get what Rhinedottir said about the Tsaritsa in "The God's Limits". If I were her, I wouldn't waste this opportunity for revolution either.

On a less serious note... "you're asking for the moon here"? Seriously, Pantalone? Ha, ha, very funny.

Exactly what the title says. I don't know where to watch it, and I personally can't find it anywhere.

Netflix or any other streaming app is not an option, since my parents won't let me watch it (which is stupid), and I don't get home alone often enough to watch it when they aren't home.

EDIT: english is not my first language, so preferrably with subtitles?

So a while ago I made a post overanalyzing Linnea's SQ and the species of fae in Snezhnaya,, so I'll just sort of... rant about my theories (and hopes) for Snezhnaya, because it will be a lore bomb.

To begin with, it's pretty much confirmed that Vodyanista will be our playable siren: Linnea has a voiceline that is subtle as a brick about it, and on top of it, she's the prima soprano of a troupe I will not try to spell correctly. I also did my research, and turns out, a vodyanoy is a sort of water spirit in slavic culture. And the suffix "-ista" seems to be a feminine suffix (if you know russian, correct me), so there you go: Vodyanista.
With Linnea and Celaeno there, will probably give us more lore on Hyperborea and, you guessed it, more nailed civilizations. It might even be a subregion.

And then there's the Tsaritsa, Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya. She is named after Anastasya Romanov and Alexandra Feodorovna, the last princess and Tsaritsa of the Russian empire respectively, so... there's that. I wonder what that could be foreshadowing. Fun fact, "Anastasya" means "resurrection", and "Feodorovna" means "daughter of Feodor", which was the name of another Tsar. In other words, our Anastasya comes from an important family, maybe a very, very strange kind of fae.
For now, all that we know of her backstory is that she is the daughter of the Bely Tsar (I haven't found anything interesting on that name besides that it means "white"), who fell in love with Saarelainen, presumably Ajax, who was also the Third Descender. He was then asked by the Bely Tsar to open the "gates of Pohjola", maybe Celestia or something like that, but it was a trap, and he went willingly, knowing that otherwise, his beloved Anastasya would suffer the punishment. Saarelainen was carved into the Seven Gnoses, and Anastasya became the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya we know today.
From there on, I have a few theories. We have the rebel route, and the sentimental route, as I like to call them.

For the rebel route, my theory is that the archons are giving up their gnoses because the Tsaritsa needs it for her plan, and they support it. But why can't they just... rebel themselves? Well, notice how the oldest archons, the ones who were there during the Cataclysm, are more scared of rebellion? Nahida, Focalors and Mavuika are way bolder, but still hold back: Nahida threatened to wake up the Heavenly Principles, Focalors... well, we all know about her middle finger to Celestia, and Mavuika pretty much did a warmup for Columbina's return with a moon included. They have their nations to protect, they are scared.
But the Tsaritsa? She has no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her. The Tsaritsa has always seemed kind of... self sacrificing to me, like she couldn't care less about the Shades having their eyes locked on her and her nation.
I might be going crazy, but I think that Snezhnaya is gonna get nailed. Or in other words, that she's gonna take the fall for the rebellion against the heavens, and just like Focalors did, choose to be the last Cryo Archon, the last Tsar of Snezhnaya (name foreshadowing). I think that the other archons know that, and they are helping her because she will sacrifice herself, and since that will spare them from having to get their own nations nailed, the least they can do is help her. It would also explain why Mavuika and the Pyro Archons, who are mortal and isolated to Natlan, have no idea of her plan.

The sentimental route is way less dark. The theory here is that the archons are giving up their gnoses out of respect: like, I wouldn't keep a piece of my coworker's dead lover's body, no matter the authority or power or whatever it gave me
Of course, that raises the question of whether the Tsaritsa wants to revive Saarelainen or just use the gnoses to overthrow Celestia. Personally, I think both.

But there's another detail: it was the Bely Tsar who set Ajax up. He might have very well been the only archon who was willingly on the Heavenly Principles' side. Why? No idea, but maybe the Tsaritsa also wants to defeat Celestia as a sort of redemption for what her father did.

Exactly what the title says. I'm going nuts with the who is who, so:

First Descender: Heavenly Principles

Second Descender: Seutervoinen, Voyager, Second Who Came (?)

Third Descender: Saarelainen, Ajax (?)

Fourth Descender: Traveler, Aether/Lumine

Do I have that right? Help

So a couple of years ago I read a book & comic hybrid about a prince who was like possessed by not completely because bloodlines or something, but his sister was totally possessed and transformed.

The main storyline was that he was looking for his sister to save her, and the sister's boyfriend, who had magic but was not possessed (again, bloodlines or smth) wanted to kill her because he thought it was impossible to make the possessed people human again. There were other characters, but I seriously don't remember much else.

It randomly came to my head, but I can't remember the title and it's bugging me so much help 😭😭😭 Also, my native language is not english, it's spanish, but I didn't even look at the author's name, and if I did, I don't remember, so I don't even know the original language.
