Hi hi, I'm Jaden, I go by he/him/they/them! You can use any of those, or even reject pronouns altogether and just call me by my name all the time (but that'd probably get a little strange grammatically).

I mainly post my scattered thoughts on various media, but maybe, when I get better, I'll start posting my art here too!

Anyways, that's it! Hope you enjoy my blog :3

for silver wolf, this shows that she really does care for the safety of all the stellaron hunters so she choose to remember it in case it was ever needed. like she says in the quest, she’s absolutely willing to sacrifice her own future if it means getting the rest of the stellaron hunters what they want.

for blade it could show both his lingering connection to the xianzhou and his desire to keep the stellaron hunter’s safe. even though he claimed that there would be no reason for them to use it. the paraphrase was probably something that one of the quintet members made for each other, so both blade and dan heng still use that passphrase to protect their new families.

first and most obvious, wolfie is and elation emanator and asat pramad is a destruction emanator trying to destroy elation. this puts them on opposing sides, but asat pramad is still connected to the elation (we now know he used to be a masked fool)

the second has to do with aha as well. an important question during 4.X has been "Why did Aha laugh?" (refering to their ascension story where they saw the nihility of the universe and then saw a baby fall over) asat pramad says that he could never understand why aha laughed but wolfie probably could. as we see in her improv tour trailer, after her game with the strange aha-esque figure, after having been beaten by them after they cheated, she's still able to laugh at the absurdity of aha randomly tossing the cartridge into punklorde. the difference between wolfie and asat pramad seems to be that wolfie (and aha) are able to find joy in the small little moments, while asat pramad feels like elation can only be found in grand displays. (which is probably one of the reasons he became disillusioned with the path)

thirdly, when he was still the masked fool "enroute" its said that he had experienced everything he could as a fool, and that he had heard "all thirty trillion jokes in the universe", or that the tavern just wasn't funny enough to him. which is what led him to leave the tavern in search of "the real end of the world". this reminded me of what he said to silver wolf when he first saw her lv. 999 form:

this is very similar to enroute leaving the tavern because they weren't funny enough for him. and in wolfie's myriad celestia trailer, her future self says that she won all games and stood at the peak of elation, but even she couldn't break through the lv. 999 limit. asat pramad is basically a physical manifestation of the fate wolfie is trying to avoid, becoming bored with the world and losing grasp of the meaning of elation.

i feel like rhinedottir being part of the hexenzirkel should make the hexenzirkel more interesting. like they're like a coven of witches who are neutral in regards to the seven nations, and they only have a pact with mondstat because of varka and venti (a very recent pact mind you). rhinedottir should be a great example of how they have no allegiances, and how they have no reason to follow the laws of teyvat.

but instead, it feels like rhinedottir being part of the hexenzirkel makes her less interesting. like genshin is very clearly trying to advertise the hexenzirkel as a coven of "good witches". like "oh yeah we're called witches, but don't worry we're all nice!" when that is objectively not the case. so when we have a character like rhinedottir, who we have heard of since the beginning of the game as someone responsible for a lot of the abyssal monsters currently roaming teyvat, as part of the hexenzirkel it feels like they're trying to wipe away her past and show that she's actually good, when she is very clearly not.
