Don't expect any coherency here

I'm at like 25 pity after getting to 90 and losing the 50/50 to freaking diluc

And then I remembered that columbina scene during the moonprayer night

There's no difference, at least not in the thing itself

The difference is the holder

Look, if some npc don't really know the first thing about a vision, i wouldn't be surprised is the average person in nod krai doesn't know that there's a difference between that and a moonwheel.

So regular people like jahoda, illuga and Aino have/call theirs " visions " because of a misconception and in the process they kind of limit what the thing is able to do ( see why they do have the moon sign mechanic but are unable to enable lunar reactions or damage)

Meanwhile the ones that actually get the moon wheel in all of its potential are either aware of the difference or are way too related to moon/teyvat's old age and that affects how the thing works

Or both

If Flins and linnea know what theirs are is besides the point, they're fae their whole body is made out of moonlight and old beast bones

Lauma is not only a the top of the notch when it comes to the Frost moon scions blessed bloodline, if there's anyone i nod krai that should know about the difference it's them.

Toph was a moon envoy so there's Nefer's connection ( and also if this woman doesn't know something i would be a little bit worried)

Etc I'm getting tired of writing

Not only because he gets second-hand embarrassment from looking at them being so gay, even before they started doing this, aedon learned to leave because just like 99,9% of animals Flins frightens him and he hates that Fae's guts

But look, every time I remember Flins is a ball of blue fire that lead travelers ( either to treasure, safety or their doom) I can't help but think that that sounds pretty damm similar to our good old friends the seelies

Now we know the fae were created by mixing bones of old beast and moonlight, this by the knowledge of Koitar, the first angel and the one who ignited their rebellion. And that the seelies are the remains of angels that chose their wisdom over power

Look this is just me being really picky about the hues of my colors, specially when is comes to yellow.

But c'mon that faes eyes are dull. they even look like the color of freaking sulfur depending on the angle. There's no yellow more devoid of warmth than that mf thing, it looks dead, and i think that's a big part of it's charm.

Anyways what do we think about the fact that both the primordial sea and Time ( istaroth ) seem to be static, and that we know naberius was the one to create egeria to replace the old heart of the sea?

....

What I'm trying to say is that I believe there's a narrow possibility that Barbatos is to istaroth what Egeria (and the Hydro sovereigns) is to the primordial sea
