It's the fact that Dr. Ratio is heavily based on his reference to the Roman goddess Veritas, whose Greek counterpart is called Alatheia.

It's the fact that Anaxagoras has a direct reference to the philosopher of the same name whom introduced the concept of Nous.

It's the fact that in HSR itself, Nous is an Aeon. But, as we know already, Gnoticism is a major part of the world building of Hoyoverse's games, especially HSR and Genshin; as Aeons are a Gnostic concept originally.

It's the fact that Nous is also an actual Aeon that exists in Gnoticism. But not only that! Alatheia is also an existing Aeon in Gnoticism.

It's the fact that in Gnoticism, Aeons come in pairs called syzygies. And guess what? Yes, Nous' syzygy is Alatheia. May be relevant, but it is quite forbidden for one Aeon to "exist" or at least "emenate" without their syzygy (it's this flaw that actually creates the matter or material world in Gnoticism).

Aaahhhhh. They literally need to meet! I don't believe one second that they will have ZERO INTERACTION. ONE DIALOGUE I BEG. All the hints are pointing at them MEETING!

Anaxatio headcanons!

—Note: Haven't done the 3.2 quest btw

—These are only some! Not a lot but just the ones I remembered rn

(repost to my blog from the Anatio/Anaxatio/Rationaxa community which... JOIN US.)

Anaxagoras got Veritas to start wearing onesies, and ever since then, Veritas hasn't gone to sleep without his duckie onesie on. No one knows except Anaxagoras tho

They know how to dance and do so in private, often

Ratio loves rubber ducks

Regularly have heated debates to the point where people on the outside think they hate each other. In actuality, they adore each other and the debates—no matter how heated— is like flirting to them.

Veritas DRAGS Anaxagoras to a bath because Anaxagoras sometimes gets so caught up in his ideas that he forgets to shower (Veritas thinks his boyfriend needs a mental evaluation)

Keeps their relationship a secret for at least the beginning. Maybe others find out later, but they don't tell anyone. They KNOW how their fans will react, there'll be edits for days, and Aventurine will be insurable for Veritas

Anaxagoras wondered why someone as intelligent as Veritas would crave the attention of a god/aeon (Nous)

For the Aglaea-Ratio siblings headcanons (basically, Ratio is Aglaea's little brother), it's so funny because Aglaea disapproved of the relationship SOOO fast, but they literally didn't care😭

For the fatherless five (my name for Acheron-Castorice-Ratio-Seele-Pela siblings), specifically Castorice... She writes fanfiction of them

Anaxa loves listening to Veritas play instruments

Veritas loves listening to Anaxa speak about the Dromas

Veritas has a rubber duck emoji next to Anaxa's name on his phone... He'd probably never let anyone know lol

Anaxa, being who he is, sometimes makes Veritas wonder if he's dating a mentally ill person. And he loves him anyway

Me trying to explain the appeal of Anaxatio:
