Genshin (crack) theory: So this one dude Afratu (the guy standing near the GIANT ruin guard waaaaay at the southern edge of the desert) says it used to be piloted by a Kharnri‘an called "The Schwanenritter“.
That’s German for "The Swan Knight“.
Mondstadt is (partially) based on Germany, most evident by names like "Der Himmel“ (the sky) for Venti‘s lyre or Mondstadt itself being German for "Moon City“ and wine as a placeholder for beer. What’s rather overlooked however, is it’s connection to fairy tales and the like. Be it the general aesthetics, the library, or most of the books you can collect in Mondstadt being basically fairy tales. One of which is about a certain someone named Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, whose title translates to "Princess of Damnation“.
She‘s the ruler of an elusive but grand kingdom, capable of doing glorious feats, traveling the universe, and her loyal knights of the Immernachtsreich (Eternal Night Kingdom) Kingdom are Ravens - black birds.
During the second summertime event, we have seen what that place looks like, not just on the overworld, but as part of her quest illusion world, where buildings lay sideways or even turned upside down as part of perspective puzzles. On the overworld, we instead deal with stories trying to look though deception and shine light on the liars.
Now tell me,
have you heard about the rumor
that the sky of Teyvat is fake?
Yeah.
The Immernachtsreich is not only real, it’s Kharnri‘ah. They’re one and the same. That‘s why it’s called that- because the new sky is fake, and the truth is hidden in the stars. That’s why the event was full of geometry puzzles, because - just like Ventis statue- it’s all turned wrong. And that’s why, whenever a new BP season starts, story only ever talks about a corrupted princess, regardless of who we choose to play as. Because while it may be the beginning of our story, it was never that of our sibling. It’s of the Princess of Damnation.
Supposed ruler of a kingdom steeped in eternal night, an Abyss. Made to believe she has always been part of Teyvat because all the memories and proof of her true self were erased by the Akasha for a cause yet unknown, as we‘ve seen it‘s possible to tamper with the information of the very world, and is how our sibling most likely erased any trace of his connections to any world other than Teyvat. But unlike our sibling, her bond to the other worlds wasn’t changed. And that’s why she thinks she‘s only roleplaying, and not truly the heir. Heck, that’s why she somehow knows the Traveler isn’t from Teyvat either, why she has the Electro vision, or why her signature move causes her eye to shine in the form of The Star. Because in truth, it’s not roleplay at all.
Genshin side of tumblr, I present to you Fischl, Princessin der Verurteilung, deceived by an unknown being to think she‘s the ruler of the Immernachtsreich also known as Kharnri‘ah, but grasping the truth just close enough to remember it’s not real, even if not in the way she thinks…
…and a Descender.

The Isle of the Lost is Neverland.
Think about it for a second: A land untouched by time? By death? What better place to bring the once-dead villains into?
Neverland shouldn't exist, and neither should the Isle. Adults can't find the land their kids vanished into and the people of Auradon couldn't take a look at the Isle if they wanted. And if the imprisoned villains managed to break free? How could they possibly know where to flee?
Neverland became the Isle of the Lost.
It's cruel, really. They only laugher to be heard at this place is an echo of Peter Pan's. Captain Hook says he can still hear it, sometimes. The Isle kids hear half-forgoten words asking them to "come with me" and "be a child forever, never grow up!" in their dreams.
They never respond.
They never got the chance to be kids in the first place.
The waters of the Isle are plagued not only by sharks and crocodiles, no: mermaids, sirens, still lounge in the warm waters, still competing for affections of a boy that is no longer there (or is he?)
The Isle girls don't dare to come to the water.
And the Lost boys? These children out of time?
They have so many new friends now, and they can't figure out why they don't want to play.
The Lost Boys are the only ones to remember that Isle of the Lost was once Neverland.

The love I have for you is buried
But buried alive
Clawing and screaming. Begging to be unearthed
But I won’t

has anyone come up with an AI tool that would have the ability to interpret fashion design sketches and turn them into patterns that could then be used to make the garments by hand? Like if I trained an AI on hundreds of patterns with their reference sketches would it then be able to turn new sketches into a working pattern. Would it recognize the shapes on the sketch and translate them into flat pieces? Bonus if there’s an input for specifying certain measurements and then it adjusts the outputted pattern to those measurements. Or like inputs for the number/width of pleats or ruffles. But I want it to calculate the physics of the fabric draping n junk
