For those who didn’t know..
It’s literally canon that och-kan had at some point said “good old knuckle sandwich”.
Mind you this is the same guy who committed multiple war crimes, a genocide, and more during the time of his tyrannical rule.
Kinich’s va is changed for 5.5 to Jacob Takanashi. Twitter is upset but I’m pretty relieved about it as we finally get to hear all the Natlan characters again in the en voice overs. Now, I have no idea of this is a permanent change or if this is just a 5.5 change and I pray that kinich won’t sound too weird. I guess we will be able to hear him in a hour or so cause the update drops at 11 (in my time zone).
What are y’all’s thoughts about it.
Daily memes: thought cause maintenance you guys will be bored of no content so I present two like yesterday
No way, Effie/ Escoffier teaser in Varesa’s trailer?
She’s actually kinda cute… Xilonen comes first though. ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE HEAVY METAL IN HER TRAILER??? I need the whole song in my playlist NOW
Oh, when 5.5 hits and we are like a week into the update, I will post my first multi chapter fic about the dragons. I’ve been cooking this fic up for like the past month and I’m actually so excited to start writing it. I’m a bit nervous to start a multi-chapter fic considering how I tend to lose interest in things that I do (glances at all my unfinished art works) so if anyone has tips on how to stay motivated to finish something, I would really appreciate it
Felt nice today so y’all get blessed with two in celebration of this being the second to last day until the best update hits
Hello hi I would just like to say that your Natlan lore character memes are so cool and I wish more people made these types of things about non-playable genshin entities
Thank you!! I got inspired by a few users on twitter so thought “how about I start making my own for tumblr’s entertainment”. Glad you like them! I will keep making more so get ready to see one tomorrow ❤️
Hoyo better cook up some crazy cutscenes during the world quest, I have edits I wish to make 😁
Just got the craziest dream-like idea but like what if some people were to just grab a world quest and do a whole fan voice over for it. It would be nice for people who don’t like to read (cough cough a friend I know who drives me up the wall [I love them]).
Like imagine a voice over for the Ochkanatlan world quest or even just Ixlel’s quest. That would be so fire.
Pre-load tomorrow and the update in three days…
Hey Och-Kan fans, hear me out on this wonderful experience that I can’t gatekeep any longer:
The song “The Line” from arcane but think about Och-Kan while listening to it.
Exert from said song:
(If you want it extra angsty you can insert “the light” as Xbalanque and then “Did I disappoint you?” For Waxaklahun Ubah Kan)
I’ve been cackling over this for the past minute
Some quick figure and lighting practice that I midway through chose to turn into Ixlel
I think I was a bit too dedicated to the lore…
Im thinking of being the first hydro claymore what do y’all think
Gotta be the best purchase of my life (I will be buying the other ones when I have the chance)
Ixlel was Xiuhcoatl's daughter. His youngest daughter, in fact. That's it. No I don't have even a smidgen of proof. Yes I just made that up. Yes I only want the angst of the draconic family drama.
"But doesn't that mean Ixlel was either Och-Kan's aunt or cousin, and you made a post speculating that Ixlel tried to bed-" This game already has half-sibling incest that resulted in a child (Parvezravan & Shirin. Another reminder that Gurabad lore is insane), so in the grand scheme of things, their "relationship" is incredibly tame. Ixlel didn't even bed him in the end! She just got abused and left to rot for an unknown period of time by Och-Kan😔
Okay, maybe there are proofs... but for now, I just want to cheer myself with the insane amount of family dramas the dragons have. Because damn are they hilarious and tragic at the same time.
Btw the post I meant is this:
This might be a hot take but every time someone hates on Natlan by comparing it to Fontaine, a angel loses its wings.
Granted I have not finished the Fontaine archon quest so I guess I can’t speak too much on it but so far I noticed the biggest differences between the two nations is that Fontaine is concentrated on current characters while Natlan is concentrated on the history of the land.
Do I wish more of the Natlan characters like Mavuika would be more fleshed out and interesting? Yes, it would be nice. Would it help the story more? Maybe. But again the current characters are not the point of what Natlan is.
Natlan as a whole focuses so much on its history and origins. All their traditions and tribes came from the original hero’s, the ancient names, the resurrection, the gadgets and tools they use, etc. Everything that Natlan is, mostly based on its history and lore.
I’ve noticed a trend with those who complain that Natlan is the worst nation and it’s those same people who beg for a skip button… why are you playing a STORY BASED game if you don’t want to read (not even cause most quests outside small side quests and world quests are voiced).
Let me make it clear, Natlan has flaws. It does. The stereotypes and lack of character development but it’s not the worst nation. With what it lacks, it makes up with the story. The lore within it is so immersive and huge, down to lore drops after lore drops about dragons to a finding out a normal human killed a sovereign and then made a deal with a shade who we later come face to face with in the AQ. 
Anyway rant over, I needed to get this out before I lost my mind.
I love my dragonlords and we better get SO MUCH LORE (We are cause I read the text maps)
If it wasn’t for these two users on x (twitter) then I would never even be on it
In filanta and luluraemi we trust
Him not having wings from the start… just too good dude. UGH ILL BE THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS😭
This family soap opera will be the death of me and I’m not sure how much I can handle this anymore. The idea that Waxaklahun was reliant on Xiuhcoatl to fly is just incredibly angst worthy (foams at the mouth). Not sure if it was a dialogue leak or something he already said but somewhere I saw him say how he wished to see his race soar the sky’s again… just let it sink in with the idea that he himself can not fly…
Has anyone questioned Waxaklahun’s wings? They are basically absent in his model from 5.2 World quest, seemingly replaced by a secret source mechanism rather then them being feathery and well—wings— like in the mural of him.
I have a major theory about this but not enough to prove it to be correct. Hear me out, we all know that he is desperate and down right obsessed with evolution as he foresaw the down fall of dragons when the Vishaps stopped evolving—hence leading to the creation of Och-Kan— but what if its not just the future generations but older ones too… I present you with “Regressive Evolution”. Now before anyone reminds me that dragons can shift and change forms, it still does not make sense from him to have a mechanical version of wings (if they even are wings) when he has his own already.
I in fact did not forget about these, school choose to give me a insane work load lately but after this week I can only hope I’ll be more free
Not Genshin related but on a scale of 1-10 how much do y’all think this game likes me
Any thoughts on who could have said this at 9:16 on the 5.5 livestream
It’s followed by kachina, ifa (??), and then Citlali and I don’t remember anyone sounding like that… much less, I might I add, that whoever this is is in fact not human.
She’s gonna come back guys, have faith
(In other words I’m hopelessly delusional, praying that the best dragon lord aka Ixlel aka Ix Uxul Tz’ib Bolon Ch’ule-L aka whatever her other titles were, will come back to me)

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.
Random but Im in my Great Depression era on Genshin…
Good day to be a f2p right
Guys I have a announcement: these things are my kids now (trust me, my dad is hoyo)
Ok but seriously, LOOK AT IT
OH HOYO, IF YOU ARE LISTENING
LET ME KEEP THEMMMMM!!!!!
(How funny would it be if this was like a Gru and the minions situation with Waxaklahun Ubah Kan and these little cuties)
