"Hello Hroptatyr. I've heard so much about you. Would you spare me your mind on a few theories?"
No seriously Teyvat is so lucky Zandik wasn't born in Khaenriah.

Not Pantalone keeping distinctly Sumerian flowers in his very Snezhnayan/Fontaine-inspired office (Spoilers for quest location)
Also the description for anyone interested because I think these are Padisarah:
>A holy and noble plant. The conditions for growth in its environment are very demanding. The flower buds can be processed to make valuable spices.
The Padisarah is said to derive its name from a certain ancient deity. It is said that in those times long past, there were three gods who had struck up excellent relations with one another. In those days, there was once a great plain covered in lovely flowers that people would gather up and use as incense to offer up to their gods.
OR CALL ME CRAZY AFTER LOOKING AT THEM LONGER
They look like a hybrid of Padisarah AND Sumeru roses
At the very least it's definitely not a Snezhnayan flower. But also I can totally see Dottore cultivating a hybrid of the flower he most closely associates with himself and the one he sees as his lover:
>Bright and beautiful, these pure purple flowers give off a pleasant fragrance that will give any passerby pause. While some like to call this type of "rambler rose," its relative lack of multiple flowers means that it falls under a different floral classification.
From very early times, the Sumeru Rose has been used to make fragrant essences and perfumes. Whenever a festival rolls along, the market will always be filled with the scents of roses. Among the poems that enjoy great fame in Sumeru, the Sumeru rose is oft compared to fine wine, and has thus become a classic symbol within Sumeru literature. "Come, put away your meaningless tribulations! Enjoy the companionship of wines and roses, for there is nothing more important at this time!"
Pantalone is Dottore's wine and roses </3

No way Hoyo made essentially a short story dedicated to Pierro’s doomed yaoi with his academic rival
I’m sorry but look at the yearning in Hroptatyr‘s eyes. There is no way that man hasn’t been making heart eyes at Pierro for years but he was too dense to see it.
(It took Pierro 500 years to realize he fumbled a baddie)

SPOILERS FOR 7.1 [Genshin] They made one of their hottest characters and I'm very upset he probably won't be playable.

Okay I think I might have gotten it right (again)[LEAKS INCLUDED]
So we know why we’re in the Northland Bank now; Vesna is going to be using her heritage as a Veela and channel… something Pantalone probably has in his collection.
Still zero idea why we’re breaking in, but it’s so suspicious that despite this crucial plot point we know from leaks, Pantalone and the bank wasn’t mentioned at all. Granted, outside of showing the boss fight and Gold, they were unusually tight-lipped about the actual plot points of the archon quest.
Anyway, hoping badly this is setting up for whatever plans he has in the future. NEVER GIVE UP ON PLAYABLE PANTALONE!!!

This Myraid trailer really hammers home just how goddamn cunning, calculated and effective Aventurine truly is.
This man is out here keeping up with his co-workers, dismantling espionage attempts, keeping tabs on probably his most hated enemy and fostering his relationship with the group more able to help him eliminate Oswaldo, maintaining cordial relationships with the IPC's most important allies and balancing the favors checkbook, making connections and assisting factions from all over the universe to fulfill his assignment to Diamond, hunting down every possible lead AND making sure to keep those connections open in case they are needed in the future.
Only once he has all the pieces does he decide to risk the gamble to breach the truth about the person he is hunting.
He is DANGEROUSLY competent and more than a little scary.
He gives his luck more credit than he should, though I fully believe now it's intentional to make him seem weaker and more reckless so people underestimate him. Before he even sits at the table he stacks the deck in his favor, befriends the dealer, tips the waiter, and has all of his chips perfectly lined up before his adversaries even arrive.
He actually reminds me more and more of another of my favorites (Pantalone) because in the end, he is just human. Aside from his cornerstone and his Stoneheart status he has no other special abilities or origins (granted its the same for Topaz but we have never seen her performing this kind of behind-the-scenes maneuvering though I have no doubt she has her own hidden projects). He lives and dies by his own wit.

I haven’t seen this posted here but the Traveler’s Arcanum Card has such huge MC energy I hope they touch on in the future
A drifting star that even the "fortune" that wove the "world" could not imprison. To the master of the cage, a path with no design has always been inexcusable folly.
"I am the void at the moment of creation, I am the newborn spark when all things end."
"My traveling pack is empty, I have only this pure-white companion by my, side."
"I will mock all desire, glory, and reason, I will tread the seven-fold steps."
"One star rises in the heavens, one star falls in the valley, the two have always been the same."

It’s nothing personal (onyasmui on Tumblr)
Considering they are the only native Snezhnayans in the Fatui, and also the closest to humans I like to think that they actually have a somewhat amicable relationship.
(Pantalone is the over-achieving oldest sibling in this dynamic)

I’ve got to admit, it’s nice that at least until the Tsaritsa’s beta at the latest, the most widespread complaint is a ballerina wearing heels.
Several completely F2P teams that are good for the newest shill, massive Traveler upscale in combat and a little in story, most solid start to a nation yet, I’ll give it to Genshin. I didn’t think they had it in them.

Would it be optimal just to go straight to E2 and skip his LC if I have the BP LC at S3?
Long story short, I'm losing hope in my Jiaoqiu Novaflare.
I'll have about 400 pulls when his banner goes live, but I still want to save some for Jiaoqiu so I plan to spend a maximum of 200. I have a guarantee and according to the gacha rate calculator I have a pretty solid shot at E2 if I just go all the way.
I have almost zero pity and no guarantee on the LC, but I know its really good on him since he is Elation so would it be better for me just to try and go for his E1S1 instead?

I would sell my kidney and put myself in an ungodly amount of debt for a discussion between these three
There is just something about these three I can't quite name (beyond all of their shared religious symbolism) that would make the chemistry between them nuclear.

Nothing but pure brainworms and speculation regarding the potential roadmap for 7.x
Hoyo has remained consistent for the past two years about releasing 17 characters in total per region. The number of four-stars vary but it has consistently been 11 five-stars as far back as Fontaine.
Fontaine
Total Characters: 17
Five-Stars: 11
Four-Stars: 6
Natlan
Total Characters: 17
Five-Stars: 11
Four-Stars: 6
Nod-Krai
Total Characters: 15
Five-Stars: 11
Four-Stars: 4
Obviously this is completely subject to change but this has given them a very comfortable release schedule so I don’t see a reason to deviate from it. There has also been a pretty consistent pattern regarding the number of characters released per patch, and based on general leaks everything seems to follow that pattern regarding five-stars:
7.0
- Odette
- Alyosha
7.1
- Vesna
- Vodyanitsa
7.2
- Mitya
- Valerie
7.3
- Tsaritsa
- Danica
- Potential Four-Star
As usual, leaks regarding anything post-Lantern Rite/Archon release patch are shaky at best and incredibly unreliable. I don’t believe the Dainslief leak. I see him as the perfect anniversary unit and I can’t imagine Hoyo wasting him on the last patch of the cycle.
I know the primary concern from a lot of people waiting on the Harbingers has been that Genshin won’t release that many male five-stars, however the early line-up being pretty much all the female characters is a pretty good sign for us. Noy is the only remaining non-Harbinger unaccounted for in the leaks which makes sense since its pretty clear Hyporborea is being saved for later and he has some kind of connection to it. But because Valerie has taken the fall to be a four-star, this actually makes the best-case scenario more likely.
The largest number of male five-stars released in a single patch cycle is five. Sumeru had Tighnari, Cyno, Alhaithan, Scaramouche and Baizhu. Not to mention Lyney, Neuvilette and Wrio all came after in Fontaine since 3.7 and 3.8 were all rerun banners.
Operating on the assumption Hoyo intends to release 11 five-stars in 7.x, with 6 of them already accounted for, that leaves five slots.
7.4
- Pulcinella
7.5
- Noy
- Potential Four-star
7.6
- Dottore
7.7
- Pantalone
7.8
- Capitano (Potentially)
This would leave the overall gender ratio F:M for five-stars 5:6. (Which is about what it would have been for Sumeru). There could easily be more than one four-star, but Genshin has only ever done two double five-star patches every year; the anniversary and the archon release patch with the sole exception of the Nicole-Lohen patch because there was one less patch than usual.
I’m going to be honest, even in the best-case scenario I don’t see Pierro playable in Snezhnaya. They have been setting up his beef with Hroptatyr and I fully expect that to carry over into next year when we will most likely be getting more confrontations with the two Sinners we have intersected the least with. Capitano is also the easiest to move to next year if Genshin wants to do more with him.
Also, I had a dream where Pulcinella turned into Noy so that might also be a possibility?
Either way, I will be handing out copium in the comments.
