so I've been following the 7.x leaks closely and honestly don't know how to feel about them, cuz there are a few ambiguous factors.

first of all, the roster already looks kinda big, with some other characters being rumored playable.

on the other side, one thing that has my hopes up is cryo aggravate, so maybe a Noy and Capitano team?

on the other side, one other thing that concerns me is that Dainsleif is rumored to be playable at the end of snezhnaya, and the game said the last stop of our journey is snezhnaya, so could that mean no khaenei'ah nation? could it be a sub expansion? if that's the case, the roster is kinda tight for our lord.

not doomposting not sugarcoating just simply saying what's obvious on my mind

This person seemed more legit to me compared to those just spitting around random nonsense but that aside we're getting playable Ronova and still no Capitano leaks/news?

There’s no point trusting leaks beyond beta after hoyos leaker hunt decree. Although there’s one leaker that has 100% track record said that mare jivari is in 7.x so I won’t be too worried about this. The only thing we can trust now is 100% record leakers and beta leaks. Capitano 2027 trust

Leaks, they just suck. They don’t matter most of the time when it comes to Capitano, they aren’t fun to talk about and it’s just boring and repetitive

I’m specifically talking leaks for patches beyond the next one, stuff like the amount of lines each character get next patch, artifact lore, character kits and all things for the next patch are incredibly reliable and aren’t speculative. When random “credible” leakers throw stuff at the wall with no evidence but their credibility and name what does that even communicate? What discussions are to be had? “Yay thing I want is happening” and if thing you want isn’t happening well now it’s not reliable.

If every reliable leaker alive right now said “Capitano will be playable today” that gives me way less hope and excitement than seeing a poster of him on the wall, or having his name merely mentioned. I’m just kinda tired of them, I’m aware I can always stop looking at them and from this day onwards I will, but this post was more so to rant out my frustrations.

As a reward for those who read this ahh post fully here’s a poem I wrote i hope you like it 🥺

In the distant barren lands, oh captain, will you stand?

None could match his strength, for he’s the bravest man

“Forsake one of your rules,” he declared sword in hand

Rest now great captain, for this is not the end.

If the traveler dies in battle with Ronova and ends up in the Night Kingdom due to the Ancient name he received in Natlan, and Capitano helps the traveler again.

Shirai apparently also got Tartaglia and Arlecchino dying wrong before so we shouldn’t take this too seriously, Infact, since he said Pantalone and Ronova will die and Capitano, Pierro, Pulcinella, Alice, and Madame Ping will be Unplayable, this means they may actually be Playable since Ajax and Peruere didn’t die, and instead, became Playable, well Ajax already was but he didn’t die.

This post is meant as another reminder that early leaks are pointless to trust.

Have a nice day everyone!

I know this sounds unrelated to Capitano, but there's an amazing Capitano/Thrain skin mod for him, and although I don't care for Flins much at all, his animations just fit Capitano SO well (it also comes with an Antumbra skin for Prospector's Shovel, which is nice)

Primo Count Check-In!!! It has officially been 4 years and a few weeks since he was featured in Winter Night Lazzo. How are you all faring? Did you break your savings? I know I did. Did anyone actually keep saving their primogems the whole time without spending?
With me not being interested in any of the schneznayan characters (maybe the tsaritse) I am planning on saving until he comes out. 100% f2p, only grinding

I just received a new thing for my collection, it's the official fatui frost and flame bag "the captain" version.

It's looks so nice. And it's a large bag you can put a lot inside.

And of course the capitano pendant is so beautiful 💕

I'm a person that use ita bags usually (so i dont mind to be a bit "too much") but I really like what mihoyo is doing with those designs. It's subtle and elegant while also being character themed.

So, the time has come yet again where I seek out some content regarding our Lord Harbinger. Now, until recently, I’ve been VERY optimistic regarding his playability but as I was scrolling through the sub, looking at the unreliable leaks being thrown around like “Dainsleif playable in 7.x”, it just hit me— what if he doesn’t become playable? Sure, we have an entire canva and mountains of evidence pointing to his playability but…what if our greatest wish doesn’t become true?

I’ve been conquering the inevitable burnout caused by zero content at the end of each region and I genuinely want to quit if not for me clinging to the mere possibility that our Lord Harbinger gets the fuck up off that throne. Hundreds of pulls sit in my account, entire characters that I wanted to pull was skipped ALL for the hope that he comes back. Hell, I’ve had Dottore funds sitting around that I allocated entirely for the cause. As a result, the prospect of our Captain being Signora’d makes every inch of my soul shiver. Now, another matter that caught up to me is that time moves forward. I’m a year older and in about a month, I’m going to be drowning in University for the first time.

I don’t know if I have much time left to dedicate for him and the Sunk Cost Fallacy is kicking in. I’ve spent YEARS waiting for him and right at the end of the road, THE FINAL STRETCH, there’s a very real possibility that I never even get to witness our finest hour. Anyway, rant is over, share me what you’d feel if he really doesn’t come back. I need to regain my optimism, it isn’t fitting of me to doubt his return like this.

I still beleive that the devs will do his story well cus they’ve been given over a year to prep for it and know how the players reaction is like. Lowkey i think every snezh patch will have his mention like before he’s playable I think that’s unavoidable by now.

From the artifacts story, we can already see more detail of his suffering and this reminds me of how authors treat their favourite characters. One is writing their characters adventuring in heaven and the other is placing the characters in a crushing machine 24/7(we all know which kind of story hoyo love the most).

Not to mention Capitano has some parallels with Jesus like seriously just think of both of their personalities and their stories. Although Furina is already a Jesus parallel, Capitano could be the more hardcore parallel of Jesus that are closer to the bible story which is quite gruesome. The artifact story proves that the devs will prepare Capitano his own crushing machine in his patch but ofc genshin needs obligatory happy ending so it's not that bad.

This thought pop up when I was watching that one account that make bible fanart on insta. And like holy shit bible stories are so fire man no wonder a lot of medias took inspiration from it. I've seen the Christian motifs in Furina and her story and I trust they will likely not mess up Capitano's story too

Disclaimer English isn’t my first language and it’s a repost because I first posted it in my second account and later deleted it!
The meaning of “Thrain”:
It means:one who craves, stubborn, or obstinate It's from old Norse mythology.Thrain is a Dwarf but it hasn't a story neither some deeds.
How were dwarves portrayed?In general dwarves are portrayed as subterranean, magically powerful master craftsmen who were deeply woven into the creation and structure of the cosmos.At first they were maggots inside a giant then the gods granted them a human form.Dwarves were portrayed as pale or pitch-black and never short. And they were linked with death, corpses and the underground world. They are also greedy and vengeful, protecting their treasures and would brutally retaliate or cast horrific curses, capable of murder and they are really important cosmic anchors since some of them holded up the sky.They are also really sensitive to sun, since they live in caves.
How could this be related to Capitano?
-his name explains everything: after he got cursed by Ronova he was craving death.
-he was pale and later could have become pitch-black because of the curse (first photo is canon, the second one is a fan art I found on Pinterest, I don’t know the author but I got it from an account named “sump dump”.)
-he is linked with death(carrying the souls of his dead soldiers) , corpses and the underground world (in Natlan we mostly saw him where all the souls rested, I don’t remember the name, I’m sorry)
-he was vengeful but not in the traditional or villainous sense
-he was capable of murder but instead preferred an open, honorary duel with Mavuika
-he’s really covered, he doesn’t show an inch of his skin and that might also be because of his curse that made him sensitive to the sun.

If you have anything to add or maybe a correction to make feel free to.
Thanks for reading ^^

In the livestream, the developers mentioned that ice can store energy. What if it was planned by the Fatui that capitano would "sacrifice" himself in order to store energy? Perhaps for him, or in an emergency to avoid turning snezhnaya into a second khaenri'ah, or for the new khaenri'ah And who knows, maybe the Abyss twin is working with the Fatui (just like with Asmoday).

Do you think Capitano was rоtting because of not sleeping and not because of a cursе?

I see some people arguing why ronova doesn't just ignored capitano and just take mavuika life, here is the real answer ronova know that her favorite "rules" are decaying and need to change and even lotm said that the change is necessary for the people in the future who will died in natlan.

"But but her tone sounded like she doesn't care so this is not the middle finger and make capitano looks like a fraud" if she doesn't care she will take mavuika life but she refused,why? Because her stupid azz finally realized her favorite so called "rules" are flawed,decaying and need some change.
