There's something to be said about how Zhongli is the only archon thus far to be depicted on a throne-like seat, and I'm not saying that implies something but it definitely implies something

For those who don't know, Surtalogi is way more of an insane name drop than you might think.
So here's some info ๐งต:

Okay but seriously, Childe deserves all the credit and respect for his role against the narwhal. Fontaine would've been toast if he hadn't held out against it for as long as he did. Unbelievable.
We must dissect this art piece by piece
-Childe is NOT winking this year
-Cute giant ahoge that doesn't even fit in the frame
-Mask on the Mr. Cyclops plush
-Inazuma photo album
-Is he at his family home??
-Most beautiful man I've ever seen
Sometimes I'm just minding my own business and then I'm hit with the burning need to know why physical Vision frames are gold with the exception of Snezhnayan ones...and then I think about the line from the Ballad of the Fjords

This is actually SUCH a good moment bc it's a clear display of Alhaitham's emotional intelligence. They have their own unique dynamic, and Alhaitham knows when to stop. It shows that he'd never intentionally hurt Kaveh.
3.6 event spoilers //
obsessed with 2 things:
1. Alhaitham's little huff of amusement
2. the sound he makes when he realises Kaveh is genuinely upset ๐ฅบ
Childe's trauma is the driving force behind his ideal to protect children, regardless of how much he himself acknowledges or is aware of this, and this aspect of his character is just one of the many things that make him compelling
What's really funny about this reveal tho is that the Genshin fandom went through the stages of "Is this the CN va?" and "Maybe this is just a hired singer" only to eventually arrive at "No, this is Yu-Peng Chen"
Childe lore iceberg gets more and more insane bc wdym he was chosen by the Abyss and trained with a mysterious master and met a majestic otherworldly narwhal and seems to have suspicious parallels to Jesus
I'll still never be over how Childe actually fulfilled his promise for Qiqi and set up an entire distribution network for coconut milk.
He really never goes back on a promise ๐
I think this is a great time to mention that Childe has a similar embellishment on his clothing as the figure depicted in the Dragonspine mural
(Last picture is inverted to compare from a different angle)
I just...I just wanted to sleep. And you're telling me that the achievement I've kept in my bio for years potentially has a far larger meaning than we could've ever predicted

What's really shocking is how Childe managed to even scratch some mysterious ancient non-human being (leviathan?? Dragon??). Even Neuvillette was surprised that he had gotten harmed at all
Childe fun fact for those who don't have him but Childe's favored teapot furnishing is a kitchen.
Just thought that should be said. LMAO. He COOKS cooks...let that sink in.
@abyss6969
Just imagine when they start incorporating more horror-esque elements ๐ even just being in the Withering Zones gives me the creeps because of the unsettling music and atmosphere
Honestly, maybe it's a good thing that Zhongli is the only archon without a doppelganger situation.
He's already the most beautiful man I've ever seen and you think I'd survive TWO of him? Yeah no
I think people could benefit from recognizing that there's a reason why Genshin's style is the way it is. Just because Genshin's trailers aren't full-blown anime, doesn't make them any less impressive. They're simply employing two different styles for two different games
Can't believe I woke up to find out that there's some kind of creepy project Childe has to participate in that was foreshadowed as early as 1.1...um. Good morning?????

So what makes this figure so important? Well...for one thing, he's regarded as the "destroyer of worlds".
In other words, he brings about ragnarok, the end of the world.
A great time to remember how Dain once said that "none will escape the flames"
@moonchilde_twt
This is hilarious ๐ญ One is so serious and then the other is like "Here's the 99 reasons you should pull for my big brother! Number one..."
There are many fanon tropes out there so I can understand the confusion, but Childe not being able to use chopsticks is 100% canon.
As in actually canon ๐

Not to mention he did it in his FOUL LEGACY FORM. The form that drains him and leaves him extremely injured. And he survived in that form for goodness knows how long. The respect meter is overflowing

"Surtalogi" comes from Norse mythology, and is the name of a large, flaming sword belonging to Surt, a fire giant, and the leader of all other fire giants.
He rules over Muspelheim, a realm of fire and volcanoes.
I love learning all the different ways in which abyssal contamination can affect the body and mind and then becoming ten times more confused about how Childe even survived
Oh the Spices From the West event is coming back.
Great time to drop a Childe fun fact because too many people don't know that this event confirmed that Childe LIKES spicy food
Still think it's so funny and telling how they had Zhongli's va appear in the 4.6 JP livestream despite Zhongli not being a part of the patch in any way.
No rerun, no event appearance. Just moral support for his favorite harbinger

Leave it to Childe to be associated with a guy that's supposed to bring about the end of Teyvat.
Anyways, enjoy thinking more about the impending apocalypse โ๐พ
I also just love how the marking is very much a canon ability of his...adds a whole new layer of lethal. That plus the insane physical strength he already has?? Weapon of war indeed

Considering he rules over a realm of fire and volcanoes, I suspect we'll learn far more about Surtalogi in Natlan, the region of Pyro, that is also said to have volcanoes.
We may not have the official lyrics of Childe's boss theme yet, but that doesn't mean that we can't give it a side eye using the unofficial lyrics, especially considering the new discussion of Childe and his connection to Narayana
The trailer for HoYoFair2024's Genshin Impact Fan Art Special Program "Teyvat Film Festival" is out! We look forward to watching the full program with you on 04/13, 20:00 (UTC+8)! Stay up to date with all the latest news here:

"Never-ending Performance" really hits different when you think about how the title most likely reflects Childe's reincarnating across multiple samsara cycles

I had a feeling from the very beginning that Freminet was being used as foreshadowing for Childe but to find out I was right had me cheering
Considering the different ways in which HYV have used glass breaking, I think it's pretty insane that the glass break effect also appears in Childe's demo

So we're really just walking around with Childe's Vision in our magical infinite space backpack. I see. I'm very normal about that

Aside from the destruction of the world, Surt is also at times responsible for its creation. Overall, he's a crucial figure involved in the cyclical nature of the world.
"...Gold was the true cause of calamity and chaos."
Maybe Visions are gold because they're a false promise of ascension, and the true color of ascension is silver. Silver is the truth and gold is the lie
Saw someone say they have to forget the events of 1.1 just to ship ZhongChi, but the drama and angst of 1.1 are precisely what adds complexity and spice to the ship
// 4.2 Spoilers

As an end note, I think it's also extremely important that we acknowledge how Surtalogi is named after the sword of Surt, and not Surt himself. It's possible that he could be similar to the prinzessin and Irmin, a sentient weapon created by the God King.

A great leviathan strays from its stellar orbit, and in its wake โ long-awaited โ a familiar figure rides.
Its wailing song of melancholy betokens that the prophecy is coming to pass...
