I'm thinking a lot about how the Archons decide who qualifies for Godhood and receive Visions and how different they are from each other. I've been looking for similarities between the elemental units and have actually noticed some neat things.
So Imma drop a list of my thoughts and if y'all have any I'd love to hear 'em~
Lord Barbatos (The Anemo Archon) we don't have too much frame of reference (which is also in character for him really because venti doesn't really...care for the god stuff ha.) He seems to give Visions to those who are whole hearted in their beliefs and live their life with their head high, proud of the life they live.
Examples: Sucrose and her dedicated pursuit of science, Jean and her devotion to Mondstat (a part of him may have also been reminded of old friends...)
The Pyro Archon (The Lady of Fire) seems to have similar qualifications, but leans more towards those who are more forceful in their beliefs and fully act on them, committed without question and against the odds. (makes sense for the God of War ahaha;;;)
Examples: Xiangling and her cooking despite others finding it questionable, Xinyang and her pursuit of Rock n' Roll despite everyone in Liyue finding it a racket, Diluc and his desire to protect the people of Mondstadt even now.
Rex Lapis (The God of Contracts) actually took a bit more thinking than I'd like to admit, but he seems to acknowledge people who have their eyes locked on their goal and are dedicated to achieving it, thus securing the foundation to planning a path there.
Examples: Ningguang and her rise to power from poverty, Noelle and her devotion to her maid duties
The Dendro Archon is the one we have the Absolute Least info for (MiHoYo give us Baizhu I swear to god you have cucked me for Too Long), so the only trend I've noticed is (no suprise here, oh God of Wisdom) knowledge and the pursuit thereof.
Examples: Baizhu and his knowledge of medicine (give me the l o r e), Yaoyao (an upcoming character) is apparently being mentored by Ganyu, an Adeptus
Baal (The Raiden Shogun) was a bit of a mystery to me to be honest. I thought she might pick people with the desire for or respect for comradery (which might still play a part tbh. The God of Eternity is bound to get lonely after all...) After a bit more thought though, I believe she granted her powers to those who want to carve their own path, not paying mind to what the people around them believe and living by their own truth.
Examples: Keqing and her desire to live without the rule of their god, Lisa and her leaving of academia to find her truth her own way, Beidou and her pursuit of a sea beast
The Hydro Archon was another mystery to me. I mean, what do our odd assortment of Hydro Units have in common? Well, after some thought, I can to the conclusion that the Hydro Archon values people who work hard at what they do which is striving for the best, for themselves or for others.
Examples: Barbara becoming an idol to make others happy, Mona seeking to be recognized for her astrology, Xingqui's devotion to become a true hero of justice (which I'm sure the God of Justice thinks very highly off)
The Cryo Archon (The Tsaritsa) is actually the reason I started thinking about this. I noticed a small pattern with the Cryo units, and given the somewhat...distorted logic The Tsaritsa has, it started making sense. The Cryo connection is pain. But the reason, shocking as it may be, is The Tsaritsa gifts these people her power so they can have the strength to ease or overcome their pain in hopes that they no longer have to suffer.
("Her Royal Highness the Tsaritsa is actually a gentle soul. Too gentle, in fact, and that's why she had to harden herself. Likewise, she declared war against the whole world only because she dreams of peace.")
Examples: Kaeya's mental struggle of who to align with, Diona's struggle to come to terms with her father's live of alcohol, Chongyun's physical condition, Qiqi Literally Died and was brought back to life
So these are my thoughts on the Archons and their blessings of visions. (I swear I'm gonna make a GI OC that's just an Archon Researcher and it's just gonna be m e) If y'all have any thoughts or input or just thought it was neat, I'd love to know~

Xingqiu: When I said, โBring me back something from the beach,โ I meant, like, a seashell.
Chongyun, struggling to hold a seagull: Well you didnโt say that.

Mihoyo really said chilumi rights in this web event yo. Iโm wheezing at them cooking together and he tosses her the seasoning in the most extra way possible.
The peace sign he throws up in the newspaper clipping of them apprehending suspicious men at the docks. His instant lack of hesitation to help her get a reservation at Liuli Pavillion.
