Lover's Oath is NOT Guizhong's Lullaby

(Guili shippers might attack me for this. I have nothing against Guili, it's just that this headcanon had been made "official" by most of the fandom because of misconception and I found no correlation of this song to Guizhong.

It also didn't help that I read this archive piece from a long time ago.

But feel free to keep the HEADCANON if it makes you happy. But remember, you shouldn't push it if it's not canon🤭😊. If any of you misunderstand, this does not mean I'm stopping you from shipping whoever you like.)

The reason why this track is called Lover's Oath is because Wangshu Inn is a hotspot for lovers, which is ALSO where we first heard the original rendition of this song.

People just decided that this was Guizhong's Lullaby because of the original track was a vocal version and people just decided to think "Oh, that's Guizhong!" and decided to call it Guizhong's lullaby because "THERE WAS A WOMAN SINGING" before the official title was released.

For those who haven't this heard of this version before (Can't blame you, it was VERY quiet), it was when we meet Xiao for the first time.

Where else can you hear another song with a bit of vocals? The main theme of the game! I don't remember if it's the night or day version.

Interestingly enough, the reason why this played for Xiao when he first showed up is because the other title for this song is "Lone Tower in the West" which was the title we see from one of the music events, I think it was the Zither event. And who do we play it with? Xiao!

The alternate song title refers to Wangshu inn and a call-back to the name of the waypoint, where we know Xiao is also perched over to watch over the people.

The reason why Xiao was there was because he was provided housing via the qixing.

(I'm using this screenshot from the wiki because I don't have Xiao)

Heck, I wouldn't even be bothered if this was mistaken as Xiao's theme rather than Guizhong's because of these reasons.

If one day HoyoVerse decided to play this on a cutscene with Guizhong in it is probably because the fandom made their headcanon official with many people thinking it and HoyoVerse decided to "officialise" the headcanon to please the fans. 🤨

I decided that this was the right time to make this post because it was finally acknowledged in the wiki. I was like, THANKS! FINALLY!

In conclusion, this song has no affiliation to any character.

ok so, i play genshin with the english dub and portuguese menus, and i like to pay attention to how things are said vs how they are translated

and dude, they translated "kindred spirit" to SOULMATE

“Despite being heartbreaking to lose a soulmate, life goes on... because there are new friends waiting for you at a place further down the road”

no way?? gay adepti real??? (/hj i dont seriously shipp them i just found the word choice pretty gay here)

Hear me out. If she is, she went to Liyue to help / take care of humans and stayed there.

Enkonomiya was an absolute trove of worldbuilding but Goddamn I wanna know more about Zhongli’s birth to know where to EXACTLY put him in there.

Like when was he just one vishap who grew stronger ? Did he know the dragon-lords ? He is several millennia old, Zhongli says that he has “lived 6000 years” however, he doesn’t say that he is 6000 years old.

 It is now clear that Zhongli cannot speak of Dainsleif to the Traveler and many things because of his contract with Celestia, or else he will basically meet the same fate as Orobashi. So he could be waaaaaaay older than that.

The only thing I can know is that Zhongli was not a dragon-lord because Azhdaha calls him a usurper, which to me refers to him being the Archon after the dragon-lords were dethroned.

And now I keep thinking about the Primordial One’s love for humanity and I keep thinking about Istaroth and how WAS GUIZHONG ONE OF THE FOUR SHADES ????? She is only mentioned as the God of Dust and has fantastic technological capabilities as she easily navigates around Khaenri’ah technology.

NEVER IS GUIZHONG EVER MENTIONED TO BE ADEPTI, ONLY THAT SHE WAS HELPED BY THE ADEPTI.

IF ZHONGLI WAS AROUND WHEN THE FOUR SHADES WERE GUIDING HUMANITY AND WAS SO CLOSE TO ONE THIS GIVES EVEN DEEPER LAYERS. The layers of Guizhong loving humanity, but being from somewhere that damned humanity. What if Zhongli took more her moral priorities and developed more of a personal relationship with her, believing that helping the Abyss people would fit her morals despite the Primordial One being clearly against just everything that would want to dethrone it.

Then you got the other side. Ok. Celestia is bad. But what did they want to stop. Sure, there was a conflict of governing powers, but we do not know if there was something more that forced their hand to ultimately choose war and massacre.

I just O)-(

WHAT IF INSIDE GUIZHONG’S DUMBBELL THERE IS SOMETHING TO BRING DOWN CELESTIA OR ABOUT CELESTIA SIMILAR TO THE BOOK OF SUN AND MOON AND THE WAY TO UNLOCK IT IS IF SOMEONE BRINGS CERTAIN THINGS TOGETHER TO KNOW THE TIME HAS COME I’M.

Genshin Impact fandom trying to not slander Guizhong challenge. (Impossible apparently)

No one can ever top these ladies

Cry

not a week goes by that I don't think of Madame Ping saying 'When the one attuned to my soul is no longer here, who else could hope to understand this tune?' and feel my heart shattering all over again

If Guizhong was still alive she would've loved fontaine. Imagine Zhongli visiting Fontaine and just sightseeing stuff and all the machinery and robotics, then he gets reminded of her and her lively self and her inventions.

Anyways this post was inspired by pure confidence and I'm probably deleting this later :)

Sobbing

When dust settles the stone cracks

Suddenly I want some angst : so here is a little Twisted Wonderland AU.

Yuu being similar to Guizhong

And Malleus being similar to Zhongli.

YES I AM HURTING YOU ALL WITH THIS! AND I'VE HURT MYSELF WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY THOUGH OF THIS AU

Lovers' oath 🤝 Once upon a dream

Malleus, a immortal dragon who doesn't understand humans but finds them amusing and can't be tamed 🤝 Zhongli, a immortal dragon who doesn't understand humans but finds them amusing and can't be tamed

Yuu, who tamed a dragon 🤝 Guizhong, who tamed a dragon

While Guizhong could be seen with Glaze Lilies in a lot of fan arts, as she was fond of them, what about Yuu who is fond of roses (since you know, roses have thorns and you know Briar Valley and Malleus jdjdns-)

Zhongli and Guizhong being known as the brawn and brain, while Malleus and Yuu being known as the fae and the human

Ejjzjs I don't know why I thought of this AU all of the sudden but I think it kinda fits??

I'M LITERALLY CRYING OVER THIS AS I'M MAKING THIS THE LOVERS'S OATH STARTED PLAYING ON SPOTIFY EJDHBDSHJS
