    In the Acheron animation, black swan, who is an entity made completely out of information, tries to read Acheron’s memories but due to certain aspects of Acheron’s existence almost gets erased, the birds that you see her turn into during the second half of her dance I’m pretty sure actually represent her trying to escape

    14:48 - It just looks like that. Black Swan's goal is getting Acheron's memories as she's part of The Remembrance faction. She's also tried this with the Trailblazer. The Remembrance's goal is to go around the cosmos and copy memories and interesting people are like catnip to them because of how great the memories would be.

    To explain the moment of Acheron flipping the script on Black Swan, Black Swan was entering Acheron's mind like you guessed, but Acheron has special powers due to being an Emanator of Nihility, someone who got extreme powers from an Aeon (or basically a God). Nihility's Aeon is a black hole, and one of the funny quirk to that is how Nihility absolutely destroys the Remembrance, which is pretty much Black Swan's entire being. So Black Swan jumping into Acheron's brain was like jumping head-first into an abyss made specifically to kill you. She's lucky that she survived

    aventurine's pets are in-game creatures that first appeared in an event. they're called cat cakes! basically they're cats but either they're in snail-like cake houses or their body is actually cakes... i don't think anyone actually gave us the specifics. canonically they're created by one of the characters in the game and in the event we just went ham with the machine making them so i guess a few of them ended up being put up for adoption.

    "Is that how he unlocked his power?": No. Not spoiling this because you'll have the chance to see the entire plotline, but no - and in fact he cannot fully recover the power of his previous lifetime. This trailer actually provided a piece to an entirely different puzzle that's been in front of you for a while but you haven't recognized is there yet.
    Chinese New Year's short: As it isn't a spoiler to anything, the main two young women are Sushang, a new Cloud Knight recently transferred from a different ship (and thus sub-culture), and Guinaifen (real name Guinevere), a refugee who ended up there and went native quickly with the incentive of finding a career as a traditional street performer and streamer. The man talking to them is someone you'll get the chance to know. Since they were doing cameos anyway, I like that the first person in the audience to realize there was a real problem was Fu Xuan... but she was also the first to foresee "nothing" was the correct thing for her to do.
    Rondo: Sort of. The animation may dramatize things a bit: Black Swan can be sneaky but seems pretty careful with consent when and where it matters. She wouldn't even try to resist once being ejected. And Acheron was no more offended by Black Swan's actions than she was by Sparkle's. A Masked Fool wants to play, and a Memokeeper wants to jot down a copy of your memories.
    I don't know why you haven't run into the trash can lore yet... but the entry point is investigating the first traditional trash can you've seen (for this point, not counting the Herta Station ones). It grows and snowballs from there, to the point where in-game materials loosely based on the main character have represented them as a cartoon raccoon.

    Explanations with minor spoilers:
    Dan Heng's friend who sentenced him had to do so because that's his job, but he did lower the sentence (3:49), saving not only Dan Heng/Feng but his knowledge. They never actually give you the whole story, you gotta piece it together from written lore pick ups.
    The difference between Sparkle and the eminence in shadow is that everyone knows who and how powerful she is from the very beginning. They just don't care because she's only here to troll them.
    The two girls dancing, Guinaifen and Sushang, aren't telepathic, they just share a braincell. The lion and dragon aren't enemies, they're hunting together.
    The dancing scene starts with Black Swan using magic to manipulate Acheron so magical seduction is about right. When the backdrop changes that's her mind tricks at work, the rest of the dance floor even sees them in more normal outfits. Acheron even has the dance moves uploaded into her head.
    16:30 everyone misses this but that's just straight up the pieces of the corpse of the guy she's asking about. Swan saw the memory of her dance partner killing him which awakened something hidden in Acheron. The abyss stared back and it was hungry. The dead bird is a swan, as in just like the name of the mind reader, Black Swan. Acheron isn't even a mind reader, she is just filled with the power of nihillity and that's not something other mortals can survive. It would be like a soccer mum reading 4chan.

    This is not spoiler just a clarification of the trailers . You seem to misunderstood acheron and black swan dance when black swan tried to read acheron memories, acheron herself didn't do anything she probably wasn't even aware that black swan looked into her mind and she just saw thing that she couldn't handle ,just before that black swan asked acheron why she destroyed the annihilation gang and acheron said "are you asking me ?" Because she didn't remember them then she asked black swan who they were and later she remembered that she destroyed them when she said "oh those guys".

    Wow! I really love your reactions and analyzing skills. You managed to grasp the major points in every trailer/animated short, and for that alone im impressed! Tho, i wanna correct (or clarify) some things, where u were confused. (SPOILERS FREE)
    1) Dan Heng didnt "wake" his powers. He was born with them and always had them (as a reincarnation of Dan Feng, you can imagine). He was just hiding his true self, cuz it brought him nothing but sufferings before. You will find out and understand more about his past, as u progress through Xianzhou story (Jingliu's companion quest specifically).
    Also small side note: the people that Dan Heng was "reminiscing" about arent related. You can clearly recognise our General (Jing Yuan), and Jingliu (General's master) there. I wont say anything else, cuz SPOILERS.
    2) Nice catch with Sparkle's fish in Acheron's trailer. But you missed one huge point in there. These "fish" are actually Sparkle's powers, so if u remember.. In her trailer, Acheron immediately recognises Sparkle's attempt at pranking/testing Acheron, when she says "Is this an illusion?". This whole fight against Stellaron Hunters (Kafka, Blade, Silver Wolf) was just Sparkle's illusion. You can even clearly hear Sparkle's voice being doubled with Stellaron Hunter's voices: "Illusion or reality? Care to guess?". And then we see this gorgeous fight ending with Acheron completely oblidirating everything, and right after - Sparkle's mask falls down the sky.
    So yep! This fight didnt actually happen :)
    3) Now some small bits about THE homoerotic tango that Hoyo so graciously fed to us.
    You are very correct about Black Swan's attempt to glimpse into Acheron's memories. As she told herself: "She wants to know what SHE is". But, here's the big catch that a lot of people (even having the context and playing the game) have missed..
    So basically Acheron wasn't even aware of what happened with Black Swan, while she was trying to look inside "Ranger's" mind. It's literally written all over her face at the end of their dance. Whats even more funnier, is that in game you can listen to characters voice lines.. And Acheron wants another dance with Black Swan like BAD bad, ahaha. ANYWAYS!
    You will find out what Acheron's deal is and why's her mind is such a dark place. But for now, ill just clarify for you that this whole part with "violent dance" was just a metaphor for Acheron's memories, her life experiences and her past. It's THAT traumatizing and horrific, yeah. So Black Swan was shocked to her soul, as u saw.
    4) And at last, about the "commercial" clip.
    This one is a bit tricky for non-players, cuz u miss a lot of context. In this trailer, the 1st part of it, its actually Acheron. Not Robin. This clip was shown in Acheron's trailer, if you remember. She was passing by that commercial stand and saw the make-up ad (with Robin initially), but in this maiden girl in ad, Acheron saw her past self. Thats why there're some flashbacks with Acheron with the horns in there too. Only the last frame of this ad is actually Robin. (Like, u can see it: her wings, her eye color, her distinctive 3 dots under her eye). Everything else is conjured by Acheron's mind.
    The theme with restoring her memories and "finding" her true self runs like a red thread through Acheron's character, so yeah! Just a small important detail.
    Well, that's all i wanted to point out for you! Thanks for the reaction, it was dope :)
    P.S. apologise for my eng. Its not my 1st language

    the Dragon Represents Dan Heng and the Lion would be Jing Yuan
    And for the Acheron-Black Swan dance, Black swan said about "Predator and Prey" well at the first Acheron was the Prey, but at the end.. well the Hunter became the Prey, symbolised by the featherless Swan ripped by the snake
    Black swan peered into the Abyss which she shouldnt have done
