i have this hc/theory abt the ad oblivione, time loops, istaroth and venti (ad oblivione is mentioned in the aranara quest) where istaroth created the ad oblivione by giving birth to the thousand winds - she is time itself while they are erosion, like the sun and its rays! - and let them experience everything in the original timeline, then afterwards she formed the thousand winds into the ad oblivione, creating the time loop, then repeating the cycle with new winds until the loops are complete (yk that note in fontaine that goes through all the calamities/loops? hyperborea, etc? yeah) and mond is the end which is why its so important

venti was a part of the original thousand winds and escaped when istaroth formed the ad oblivione, which is why that note in the thousand winds temple/nameless island is a thing (ill get the actual sources later, just getting thoughts out 😭) and also why he’s considered the prodigal son

reason i wrote this all is bc i was doing ‘research’ (doing my once in a blue moon scroll on twitter and looking at theories) and later saw this poem abt the brain organoids on tiktok and and ☹️

He can do what now

first birds flight in the dead of night

i have sooo many thoughts on venti and apples and this has fed the fire THANK YOU

it does make me curious about the whole forbidden fruit thing, which proceeded to remind me of this

its a sumeru reputation quest i found ages ago and thought it was interesting, little did i know it ties in REALLY closely to this theory, but i think it mostly speaks for itself

also, genshin has a thing for making antagonists morally grey/kind of in the right or having shared interests, which reminds me of the snake you mentioned

second theory abt that part, the fact that the heirs in the same cutscene are kind of like parallels to the twins is reallyyy making me think - venti could be trying to share this knowledge with the travellers, but it went wrong with abyss twin bc theyre not a descender? but it could work with the traveller??? (also imagine the angst..)

the part about his fate being planned out reminds me of this other reblog abt him being a prodigal son and eventually coming back to istaroth... this theory probablyy wont have a happy ending 😭

anyway im starting to think this is less of a crack theory than i thought 😦
