Random But Im In My Great Depression Era On Genshin…

I’m bored out of my mind in class right now so I decided to compose a small list of my biggest natlan “What if”s. Bare with me 🙏

Starting strong with what if Ixlel joined the natlan human gang. It technically could work if she foresaw the fate of tollan so what if she ran off. Not sure how big the age difference between the cousins (her and Och-kan have) but I like to assume it’s not too big so what if Ixlel and Och-Kan both were from the same human tribe

How much different would it be if Kukulkan was the one to get infected by the abyss instead of Xiuhcoatl. Would Och-Kan even exist. What if in this scenario, the lords were only created to help kukulkan and with each lord failing, Xiuhcoatl created another one (he still stopped at 13 cause it was getting expensive, lmao).

I’ve kinda talked about this but what if instead of admiration, Och-Kan felt unbelievable jealousy and hate. Xbalanque literally took everything from him, his BIRTH purpose, his father, like I’m just saying I would feel hatred like nobody before.

What if Och-Kan was never released to the humans. I know in the notes Kukulkan released him cause the lords wanted to kill Och-Kan but what if he was raised among the dragons. How different would the human gang be, would Yunpanqui have even joined?? OH BETTER YET, his hatred was turned on Humans for all THEY have done when they (if the narrative still went as it should) stormed Tollan, killing the lords.

I know the titles that the lords have are just titles but I like to believe are more significant then that where it be their purpose or a hit at their fates so what if the titles were switched around. (I mean the titles are LITERALLY their names too so there is NO WAY they are not important to the characters)

Ima stop here for now but guys, think about it. The butterfly effect and how different things could have turned out… I’m just saying.

Here is the aftermath staring special guest: Bona

(She said “Coco?”)

Somewhere in the afterlife after traveler kills them both:

(Not sure if ixlel’s thoughts are hard to read but it says “He must die” four times also I’m working on my och-kan design, if he looks funky then that’s why)

So I was reading Och-Kan’s notes on Ixlel again (no, I’m totally not starving for content…don’t look at me like that😞) and this part came up

Now we all know she told him information about the draconic civilization such as the goals that they achieve. We now know one of the things that the things that Och-Kan censored with “(…)” which is the research on phlogistoniztion of life. Why did he feel the need to redact the important things in his diary… I do not know (ok I know it was Hoyo trying to keep stuff hidden but just imagining him personally redacting info is just funny)

Anyway, going back to my main topic, Do yall think she showed him the end times? Like what else would he be so scared about.

“Ink he literally stated that the dragons might take back power cause they have all these super cool tools that, we the lore researchers, do not know.” Hush, that’s not what I’m taking about.

Yes those scared him but what caught my attention was in the second paragraph “The memories she possesses”. Och-kan be specific, you’re not giving us much to work with… sure he could be referring to her memories of the dragon era but what if it’s memories of the end. I don’t know about y’all but when I think of a fortune teller or someone who can see outcomes, I think about someone who sees EVERY outcome imaginable. What if one of those outcomes was where dragons do regain power… that is more likely to scare Och-Kan so bad into wanting to strip her of her authority as fast as possible.

She’s a chronicler of the end times with a “s” at the end meaning that there is more than one end. Also how far does it go, is it apocalyptic end times or like if I was to go up against her in uno and she would know the outcome before we even even played… shit now my brain is starting to hurt from what even “End times” defines.

Тоже я знаю русский <3 

To those who have finished the WQ, which is not I, I wish to throw some salt in your wound cause I’m the nicest person you could ever meet 😁.

Listen to Exit music (for a film) by radio head and think about our king Xiuhcoatl

Observe:

Okay so you guys know that Ixlel had that whole eldritch aura going on right?

And the description from the nameless artisan/Manqu:

Slowly and calmly she walked towards me, as if the fire were nothing more than a gentle spring breeze. Her face... I have never seen anything like it. Even the purest of crystals could not be fashioned into the likeness of such skin, nor could the purest of turquoise be carved into such eyes. Yet for reasons I cannot explain, that face, which should have been the very picture of beauty, was... so nauseatingly repulsive... Through those turquoise eyes, those pupils whose beauty was almost terrifying, I saw naught but endless, unfathomable darkness and void; a space that no language could describe, unlike anything I have ever seen in the brief few decades of my transient life.

- Artisan's memo (III)

So I thought, "Hmm, the other Dragonlords probably had this eldritch-ness going on. Even more so for their sire, Xiuhcoatl. Plus, there's already eldritch element in Natlan; that mf Gosoythoth that's inspired from Yog-Sothoth"

From there I was digging through the possible eldritch figure that could inspire Xiuhcoatl.

And well don't you look at that?

Yig, the Father of Serpents.

Disclaimer: I have yet to read H.P Lovecraft's works and I haven't dabble to much in eldritch fiction, so all my knowledge about this figure comes from the wikis. Also, for those who don't know, H.P Lovecraft was a massive racist-fuck, and it bleed to his works with many of the eldritch figures were seemingly inspired from indigenous deities/spirits. So tread his works with care.

Yig is a eldritch deity introduced in the book "The Curse of Yig" co-written by H.P Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop. He is "the snake-god of the central plains tribes," and "a shunned and feared object in central Oklahoma."

The story describes him as:

an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents; but in the autumn he became abnormally ravenous, and had to be driven away by means of suitable rites.

The snake-god's chief quality was "a relentless devotion to his children," making it taboo to kill snakes. Those "who flouted him or wreaked harm upon his wriggling progeny" would suffer the "curse of Yig," in which the deity would "turn his victim, after suitable tortures, to a spotted snake."

In one of the expanded Cthulhu mythos (works that are written by people other than H.P Lovecraft), his mate is Coatlicue, which in the real-life mythology has many snake motives and is the mother of the sun god Huitzilopochtli, the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, and the gods of the stars Centzon Huitznahua. And you know who's the creator of the in-game Huitzilopochtli right.

An in-story ethnologist stated that Yig is the dark prototype for the more benevolent Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan (you see where I'm going.)

But this part is what I consider to be the most fascinating: Yig was also one of the two main gods (the other being Cthulhu) worshipped by the people of K'n-yan, a subterranean realm under a "sky" of glowing blue clouds similar to the Northern Lights, occupied by a hidden race of advanced prehistoric humanoids. They hailed from a planet much like Earth, the K'n-yanians were supposedly brought across space by Tulu, founding a vast and mighty civilisation. However, after the Mu continent sank, they sealed themselves away from the rest of the world. They blamed the "Space-devils" for the great sinking that "submerged the gods themselves, including great Tulu, who still lay prisoned and dreaming..." with the only human survivors being the space-devils' own agents.

K'n-Yan is the name of the author of "The Men of Lithin". And reading their history... doesn't they sound a bit similar to Khaenri'ah? Plus, this 'space-devils' is a bit similar to the Primordial One's coming. Defeating the original gods and then planted their own agents...

Huh, what if Nibelung is supposed to be Cthulhu? Being worshipped alongside Xiuhcoatl, and his murals showed up in Natlan. That also kinda explain why he looked similar to Xiuhcoatl in the murals?

Idk, I just want to share my discovery with you. In another note, kdnsjkskssnns "Father of Serpents" and fierce love for his children... my 'mama Xiuhcoatl' agenda isn't that far-fetched I guess!

Btw this is how Yig's children look like. Aren't they adorable😍

I’m gonna do a poll on this that way I know what I should post. If I post anything leak related anyway I will always say it’s a spoiler warning but still better to ask.
