I really hope whatever she turns to be, she stays our dear friend and companion.
I grew to like Paimon and would be betrayed if she reveals herself as a villain
she won't be a villain that much I can tell you.
I can't tell you more for obvious reasons
very good chance she is unknowingly the villain or helping the villains
she has shown to care greatly for us as the traveler so if there is something bad in store then i feel it’s something that she has no idea about or has no control over
if mihoyo decided to fk us up mentally and make us choose whos gonna survive between paimon or the other sibling in the story,
im gonna pick paimon xD
@@notganoy1215truly , cuz We grew ( to see character development) with paimon and the other twin did Shit 💀
@@AngryLad_80I know the reasons
"You might be only one of countless stars, but you're Paimon's whole world!" but you never know what she might be hiding or lying about
“No matter what shape or form Paimon takes, she’ll always be our emergency food.” - Genshin Community
No thats me 😭
@MDN417ye
WHAT- 😭
Real she’ll be a nice beef (meat) stew
Ye syes
And lets really acknowledge her phenomenal memory span. She ALWAYS remembers the most important details of a quest and reminds Traveller everytime
Cheezeburger ice cream
like the sticky honey roast
Especially when I'm gliding and then she lets me fall to my doom
She didn't remember Scaramouche when he erased himself from Irminsul, though.
@@Zero-mq8pc yes, because paimon isn't a descender/outlander. that still doesnt prove anything since she could just be faking.. Everyone in teyvat will forget whatever things that have been erased from Irminsul except for descenders/outlanders :).
"So you are saying that our emergency food is a goddess?"
Right....
more food to munch on😋
SSS Tier Meal? 👀
Yes
Just need those my mountain to be a bit bigger then we good
My personal belief has always been very simple, Paimon's crown is literally on the Genshin logo, Genshin means Original God, therefore Paimon is the Original God.
Genshin also refers to Allogenes (vision bearers)
Aka the primordial one
I think she's a Seelie so she's definitely linked, but where she fits I am less sure of.
Wait, does this count to all HYV game?
@@nyes4596yes honkai impact talk about honkai which a energy that humanity suffer from and honkai star rail talk about the aeon of destruction and the star rail

Heck ya .wait im noy emergency food
Not
@@Oliver_the_bully you are tho
@@Oliver_the_bullyYou look tasty 😋🤤
Yes
Whatever form she takes, she'll always be my favorite travel buddy.
Paymon is the *god of emergency food*
Paimon is 30 grams of protein
EMERGENCY FOOD
realistically she's about 5kg
@@AngryLad_80That's fat.
Which can last for like 4 days
Arrest this person
To be honest I've always seen paimon as the time goddess of the time feature in the game but I never really noticed that we fish her out from near tge unknown island
That is a possibility. I don't believe she is a diminished primordial one tho, that person is a descender out of this world. that means he can't be affected by irminsul. Paimon can be affected and loses memories if irminsul is tampered with. So she probably is someone else. Maybe istaroth like you said?
I don't think she is Istaroth at all.
@@pegacionspiral9451Well that just make it more unlikely then, Irminsul wasn't even created when Phanes fought against the second who came, Phanes or maybe even a descender should have created the Irminsul, all the shades are the only reason why the teyvat we know of today look like that, that just make it less possible for Paimon to be Istaroth
@@pegacionspiral9451 our sibling isn't from Teyvat but she is in the Irmunsul and gets affected by it. The same might have happened to Paimon but I'd like to think she is the goddess of Time instead...
@@pegacionspiral9451Mona can’t read her lore tho
She is my emergency snack, that's all. 😂
For what actually matters is that she stays the loyal and friendly guide then the way she always has been.
Traveller: So, this is how Primordial One taste like
Chainsaw man referance
@@rneuilReally?
Who's gonna take Power's place? Yk, "Bang" 🤭
dennis reference
jojo reference
I love how Hoyoverse can just choose any of the fan theories and each of them could be correct and believable lmao that's how obscure Paimon's nature is
the fun thing is that, the major plot has been written and spoiled when the game released, apart from the tiny details and lore that we explore
Yes. Sad.@@krasome6440
I think paimon is a type of fish that traveller first fished after coming down in tevyat
"WHOS EMERGENCY FOOD NOW TRAVELER?"
Paimon is just Paimon 👍🏻
Agreed
And well said
@@ginathecookie thx ☺️
Yep
paimon is emergency food
@@Galacti_cat u could said that but could be better 🙂
Primordial one is the first descender and thus wouldn't be affected or recorded by Irminsul and would also remember Rukkhadevata
@Wolf-mm6ct maybe she was lying
If we take the wanderer arcon quest at face value, paimon would be from teyvat or a fallen being from celestia. This is confirmed by her not remembering wanderer or the greater lord. You could say she is lying, but there’s only one small line of text that possibly makes that theory plausible. After the wanderer regained his memories, paimon said “there’s that same tone again.” She basically talked as if she still knew him. Of course shorty before, they did just get a slideshow of wanderer’s memories and he was talking there so that point is kinda flawed and can be chopped up to poor wording. All in all, it mainly seems like paimon is a being from teyvat or celestia
just going by name and a ton of foreshadowing, she is clearly a fairy and a God of Teyvat, perhaps much older than any existing God or Archon to remember. But the name adds a possibility of her being one of the 4 shades because Paimon is one of the 4 demon kings, while all the other Gods/Archons have names of dukes among demons
edit: Altho even the dragons like Apep don't seem to recognize her if she was indeed one of the 4 who fought them with the Primordial one
@sdamn a whole essay anadye1861
@@sanadye1861righttt I noticed that part of the dialogue too I just thought it was some sort of error but honestly idk
Or she might be the goddess of emergency food
God of emergency food
Or maybe Paimon wasn't joking when she told us she is the God of protection.
She sure doesn’t protect much 💀
@@Rixxneshe may attract protection as a form of her weaker power, kinda like Nahida and Rukadivada Paimon over used or had her magic sealed/stolen so she can't protect Traveler herself so she brings protection to them through the others around them
I took screenshots of a few voice lines she had, she mentions the words goddess in her dialogues.
She calls herself the Goddess/God of Protection but nobody's taken her seriously.
She also always mentions about primordial wrath 🤔
@@ayato3498If you're talking about the interaction with Collei, she says "Paimonial Wrath" not "Primordial wrath".
Yeah, Paimon calls herself a goddess or a god a couple of times in the game, its others who call her a fairy or a human.
@@The-Dinosaurs-vb3xxshe says paimonial wrath a lot and that's clearly a reference to primordial wrath, it's a simple pun
she better not betray us she better stay with us
The goddess of emergency food
"are you paimon the goddess of emergency sustainance?"
- odin
Paimon is goddess of emergency food 😂
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
wow this is the funniest shit I’ve ever read.
She will be Paimon the goddess of emergency food
She aslo got the omni dice symbol on her so she is the primordial one because the omni dice is the source of all other
Finally upgraded from an emergency snack to an emergency meal
3rd theory bc I've read so many lores of her paimon's name letters is a symbol message she is also the primordial one who knows if which lore is confirmed
The game hints that paimon is the unknown god
It’s either you drown the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
She will let you taste her Paimonial Wrath.
Ayo
@@Aizen_Sosuke999 not in a sus way, I think she will actually kill us for the joke
@@Leo10572 Fine, i'll let it slide.
Sounds like some very spicy soup
Sounds like chicken seasoning
There also was this "Paimonial Wrath" when she got annoyed.
I believe that was just for fun
Paimon is the goddess of food ration
She's the goddess at the main intro of the game that attacked both the boy and girl MC.
Defeated the seven dragon sovereigns
Neuvillette: excuse?
Edit: I’M SORRY CHILL PLEASE I DIDNT MEAN TO CAUSE CONTROVERSY
Neuvillette is merely js the reincarnation? He most likely doesn’t remember too well tbf🥱
@@pookiemari143 actually check his final ascension voice line
@@Crow_Rosariaafter the seven dragon sovereignty got defeated, neuvillette was "reborn", neuvillette is actually *500* old
@@Watcher1169 I’m aware that he’s 500 years old and he’s ready to judge all them bitches
A fabulous old dragon man
Yea, The Primordial One defeated the dragons and their leader twice. Including Neuvillette's full strength predecessor iirc Neuvillette is a reborn Sovereign so he wasn't around during that war.
God of broke and emergency food 🤣🗿
She is the goodness of emergency food 😂
I swear she doesn’t have abandonment issues she js wants to keep and eye on us at all times💀🙏
Hell her name being a demon from the Ars Goetia much like the other Archons associates her in that department as well.
Fgo flashbacks intensifies
@@brian_Austin27 I'd happily trade my Hereditary flashbacks for your FGO flashbacks any day.
Paimon can’t be the primordial one bc she was affected by Irminsul during the sumeru archon quest ;; we’ve established before that the primordial one IS A DESCENDER and thus wouldn’t be affected by this change as well.
unless Paimon was pretending / lying but I doubt it
But is it because Paimon is "no longer" in her original state that she is affected by Irmunsul? From what we can see, Irmunsul can be modified since Scara was able to eliminate himself from history and become the wanderer BUT we are able to remember him.
It could be that she could've been modified into Irmunsul as a part of Teyvat to either hide her identity and be able to mingle in the world with humanity without too much hassle about her appearance since everyone seems perfectly normal towards her. You raise a good point though that it's odd for her to be affected by Irmunsul but it would also push the narrative of her most likely doing it on purpose to sedate the theory that she could be or part of the Primordial One. Irmunsul could just be her Alibi and Nahida pretty much sealed that.
The third descender was able to change the laws of teyvat so they mightve had a play in it as well unless the time lines don't add up forget this input
Or you know- it could be a Light Yagami situation and Paimon or someone else gave her amnesia and made her part of the world. We’ve seen from people like Raiden/Ei and Focalor/Furina that two beings can technically inhabit the same body. So maybe Paimon is just the other half of the Primordial One and doesn’t realize it.
@@Zyphernetic + Our twin is registered in Teyvat but we aren't .. I think that also counts as something similar to how this paimon irminsul might've worked
God of space since she has an unlimited stomach capacity lmao
I didn't expect that emergency food could be main dish for me
Paimon falling from Celestia with Minecraft hurt sound made my day
If Paimon is truly the Primordial One or what remains of the being? Paimon seems to have fragmented memories yet holds a good amount of knowledge on Teyvat as if she's been there. Whatever happened between her and The second who came, The Archon War and The Cataclysm, someone or something had to have kept their gaze on all of these events and knows the truth. I'm hoping for a definite lore bomb.
Where is Asmoday?
I think that "Surtalogi" is the one who definitely knows and perhaps have tried to warn many, but according to Skirk, no one without a heightened common sense equivalent to Gods could understand them.
Paimon knows something.. we can use that scene from Wriosthley's story quest.. when Paimon touched the black gem, she said she doesn't like what the gem did and it reminded her of something bad.. we can see that the bad vision is a vision from the past as Traveller saw their twin vanishing and Wriosthley seeing the time he found out about the exploitation his adoptive parents does with their children and when killed them.. so by that we can assume Paimon saw something from her past..
What if that black primogem on the side of Paimon's head is a dead giveaway
Since it is literally a primordial gem that is said to hold the hopes and dreams of universes that once were? She also wears the same symbol that's been plastered all over the destroyed ruins all around Teyvat in fragments. That same symbol of three shapes overlapping to symbolize unification amongst the realms, the old civilization of humanity that's lost to time. It's a giveaway that she was indeed part of that time frame seemingly giving Paimon existence more questions than answers.
What if it's turned black because Paimon herself has forgotten her previous role long ago? What if her memories are slowly coming back to her and she doesn't even notice it herself? Did the Primordial One come to Teyvat to establish a newfound civilization of humanity because their universe was destroyed?
What happened to Nahida and Rukkadevata is what i believe happened to Paimon. Growth in reverse after expending so much power during the khanri'ah catalclism, after which celestia has been eerily silent since and the throne is said to be empty
@@Cajun_Seasoning Truth be told, I think that would be the case except the fact that Paimon's identity would've been remembered by The second that came.
This is saying if the Second who came was Asmoday (Unknown God) and the Primordial One was indeed Paimon, they fought a battle against each other that sunk the Enkanomiya into the dark sea. During this battle, Paimon would've lost the power of authority over the old world and Asmoday could've been the cause of it or perhaps something else lurking. But it was said that the Primordial One was indeed gravely injured but they both came together to govern the world through the use of Gnosis, the remains of the third descender. If the dragon king was indeed Nibelung because he acquired the power of darkness from outside of the world to go against the heavenly principles, did he leave Teyvat to gain this knowledge or was he given this knowledge on a silver platter?
There's so many possibilities but with the fact that Irmunsul could be modified, anything could've been covering up the truth and I think it's with our journey that we actually see truths come to light before tragedy strikes each nation.
So much is in the dark right now! 😂
@@Zyphernetic Personally im of the belief that Nibelung is the second who came since he returned after gaining forbidden knowledge from the abyss. Asmoday is the sustainer of heavenly principles so she works under the heavenly principles themselves, that being the primordial one, so I cant really see her being the second who came.
Her being a villain would be some masterpiece writing. And her remaining our friend after everything would be a great conclusion
“the only thing moving”
Water, rain, grass and the snow blizzard: And i took that seriously
She literally said in the traveller dialong that she is the god of protection 💀
It was sarcasm
@@Aila_With_No_FriendsOr is it 🤔
Paimon is emergency food worth about a Sweet Madame and 2 apples.
a delicious sweet madame
Paimon is the godess of dead braincells.
I did not think the voice was real until you showed yourself talking, holy crap you should be hired to do starship and robot voice acting in sci-fi, you're incredible
I do not accept the idea that the emergency food could kill me.
Paimon is definitely the goddess of eating food
I don't care what everyone says, she will always going to be my "emergency food" 🤣
Just gonna say it. I love how Minsleif has more content in her shorts than most TH-camrs have in their weekly uploads but it’s straight to the point. Great video (as usual)
Paimon is emergency food and that's that
"Paimon is Paimon and The Traveler is ... The Traveler."
Paimon is our only true friend and you cant convince me otherwise.
Someone who actually knows Paimon real identity here
She's the goddess of emergency food
Omg, the idea of Paimon being a seelie god is so cute though
Plus her little design motifs match the celestia pillars in the loading menu!
She the God of emergency food 🍴
I was going to comment that 😂
She will always be emergency food in my heart.
Paimon can never escape the fact we have her as emergency food no matter she's a god or not
I don't care who Paimon is, all I know is that she is an adorable body pillow, and an emergency food.
According to one of the travelers voice lines , paimon described her as the god of protection.
Remember paimon doesn't give us the power of stopping time or fast forward it , we wait for the time or moreover it's a game feature..
According to CrazyMarble...
Gonna be less “emergency food” and more “EMERGENCY” either way
Paimon is "PIEmon" she is international emergency food! 🍽️
Whats going on with my emergency food 😭?
I gotta say, I really like how Minslef always dresses up whenever she does her intro.
She has a lot of class just by the way she’s sitting too
The minecraft player damage sound effect got me having flashbacks to my countless "game over screens"
Tbh, Paimon either being the goddess of time or seelies makes the most sense
In the mail, there are two paimon..P.A.I.M.O.N and paimon..i'm sure she got real name..she never says "my name is paimon" in the game dialogues
She’s said “my name is Paimon” only ONCE. In Lynsey’s story quest when we introduce ourselves to Lyney’s master’s wife
The reason she never says “My name is Paimon”, if not rarely, is actually because when she talks about herself, she likes to talk about herself in the 3rd person “Paimon is Paimon!” and stuff like that. Only extremely rarely does she refer to herself as “me” or “I”.
"You can't spell Primordial One without Paimon." That freaking killed me.
Even albedo said her power is enough to cut MOUNTAINS, or when she didn't go into the door in the perilous quest, she's questionable but I still love her 😭
Goddess or anything, I always love her cheeky sweet appearance ❤❤
Paimons true identity is 100% emergency food
Paimon is just emergency food
""PAIMONIAL WRATH!"" - Paimon, sumeru archon quest with Collei. Primordial wrath
Paimon can also be one of the four shades(a popular speculation)
Yes, which is why I think the 'Time' god is the most likely of the 3 theories above (timepiece artifact).
I honestly love the Primordial One theory the most. No matter what happens though, I hope that Paimon will always stay as our one and only travel guide.
Emergency food goddess, we'll eat her power some time in the future to defeat our sibling
Paimon is obviously the god of emergency food.
SO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT A TINGE OF POTENTIAL FORESHADOWING😭
Her symbol on her means reality. So I'm thinking that she might be the goddess of reality. So yes, The primorial one.
If you think about her triquetra symbol it is also upside down (just like the theory that the real world of teyvat is actually upside down)
Man i just love paimon, shes just so cute and the sweetest little guide and helper ever in the game
Imagine a grownass paimon floating on your side and scolds you for entering unmapped zone 😅.
The entire event where she was saying goddess I was giving her Major side eye, like you admitting it to us missy😂😂
So our emergency food is a goddess....even greater HAHAHA 🗿🤣
There’s a theory where she’s the unknown god we fought, which might be true. If you ever thought about it, in the serenitea pot when you select companion and click paimon a button, she has the 5-star background. Interesting..
Goddess of emergency food.
There’s a theory that paimon could be the game’s final boss(personally this one is my fav)
SHE'S THE BACKUP RATIONS AND YOU KNOW IT
Ngl I would be devastated if my emergency food turned into a villain
I mean, she could be the incarnation of the god of time-
imagine if she becomes playable 😳
i think she could be the weakened form of the primordial one. we’ve seen with Nahida that when she puts a lot of energy into something it turned her into her current child body. After the war with the Second Who Came the same thing might have happened to the primordial one. but that’s just a theory, A GENSHIN THEORY!(i had to lol)
Paimon is the emergency food supply.
She is the Goddess Of emergency food😂
I honestly think that paimon got kicked out of celestia, for eating all their food
