1)His Snezhnaya is an unholy mix of extreme racism and classism, where humans are left to die in the cold and the Fae have all the wealth. He maliciously justifies this by saying that humans are naturally greedy and Fae are taking the wealth to “protect” humans from their own greed.

2)The racism gets so extreme that when Shram, the mercenary ghost from the Archon Quest, starts dating a Water Imp Fae, humans find out and lynch him on spot by calling him a traitor of humanity. It’s honestly a miracle that Fae and Humans manage to get along and Fae/Human relationships are no longer a taboo those days, thanks to the efforts of the Tsaritsa for peaceful coexistence.

3)The Tsar allows morally bankrupt people like Rotwag/Rauthvagi in his court, and ends up having horrid effects in Nod Krai especially

4)Forces the Tsaritsa to open the Gates of the Abyss, refuses to take responsibility for his disastrous actions, and hides like a coward while the Tsaritsa gets erased from existence by the Heavenly Principles for his crimes.

Like, my God, this guy was the absolute worst.

During the boss fight with Gosoythoth, he triumphantly voices his joy about the ”future of this world” the Abyss has shown to him. The unambiguously sadistic and joyful tone in all four languages (which implies this future is something Gosoythoth greatly approves) along with Vedrolfnir being tormented by the Abyss giving him visions of the terrible fate of Teyvat’s future, seems to imply two things:

1)The Abyss will completely engulf Teyvat towards the end of the game and the Heavenly Principles will be completely unable to stop it (precisely because Teyvat was destined to be destroyed no matter what they did)

2)The Traveler’s final actions will involve “fix” Teyvat by completely destroying the Abyss to the core or create a “new” Teyvat (either alternate timeline or genuinely rebuilt from scratch), defying destiny and put an end to the Abyss ince and for all.

Either way, the final confrontation of Teyvat’s destiny will be the Abyss spreading all over the planet

So I travel a lot, and while I noticed that interracial marriages are generally common among the under 25 crowd all over the country, during my stays in Texas and California (Southeast Texas and OC), I was genuinely surprised by the very large amount of white/hispanic couples. While they weren’t the absolute majority, those kind of couples are very common in those zones from my experience. Can some parallels be drawn between younger hispanics marrying whites in large numbers and once discriminated ethnic groups like Irish and Italians marrying outside their ethnicities and becoming more and more assimilated with “mainstream“ whites?
