sources! from the aranara quest, note found during rowboats wake, sacrificial fragments (thought it was found during a quest, woops)

another part to add, venti definitely doesnt like what istaroth is doing and would be trying to silently rebel by giving the winds names, personalities, etc and writing them all in the form of a poem (could survive irminsul wipes?) which is mentioned in the skyward atlas! as for how he managed to escape and find out the truth of what his mother was doing, maybe he ate a certain ‘forbidden’ fruit which would soon become his favourite for helping him figure everything out! (aka apples)

also to elaborate, the ad oblivione wouldnt create the time loops, istaroth would! the ad oblivione exists to, like aranaga said, crush dreams/living memories and make teyvat slowly become ‘domesticated’, so they won’t try to rebel (maybe the crushed dreams are used for visions and even the gnosis?)

alsoo i saw this theory about venti being very similar to snow white (i cant paste the link for some reason ushdndbs so heres screenshots) and the fact that hes gone to sleep thrice being istaroth trying to trap him and ensure the ad oblivione is complete, but he somehow gets away? i like to think zhongli gave him a sernitea pot that shields him from time’s wrath

this is more of a hc than theory - if it is a theory its a crack theory - but i had the thought spinning in my head like food in a microwave and it was starting to burn so here

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 ☹️
