What if Durin is a four star support to Varka?
They're both from Mondstadt, and they're both presumably Anemo. You can say Durin is too important lorewise to be a four star, but is that really true? Ningguang is a four star, Ororon is a four star, plenty of story and lore relevant strong characters are four stars.

I originally assumed humans were aliens settled on Teyvat by Phanes when they conquered the world. But some things don't add up. How were humans living alongside dragons in Natlan? Did Phanes fail to conquer Natlan? But they literally terraformed the entire world, did the whole separating the light realm thing?
There's also this thing: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Shuttle_of_Odara
>In ancient shamanic traditions, the "shuttle" symbolizes a medium that pierces through different realms. It is said that in the era of barbarism, before humans knew how to count their days or to weave their tales, the mighty dragons who then roamed the Soulfire Plains had a word for a construct that traversed the pitch-black darkness between the stars. In their long-forgotten language, they called such creations "Void Shuttles" — blazing javelins that could pierce anything, even a veil thick enough to enshroud an entire world.
This states that were was once a time when humans were mere cavemen while dragons were building literal spaceships. But while it doesn't outright state it, this does imply that these two species lived on the same world, or at least that's the vibe I get from it. So how was it possible for humans to be cavemen and dragons to have a space faring civilization on Teyvat when humans were brought to Teyvat by Phanes?

Is the BP opening video narrated by Venti or Istaroth?

Why doesn't Alice simply emotionally torture teenage girls until they break and turn into monsters, releasing excess energy into the universe and staving off entropy? She's visited Earth before and is familiar with otaku culture, she should know all about it.

I know larping as Ancient Greeks has become popular in recent years, but we aren't Greeks. Modern western civilisation was born around the 11th century after the Great Schism from an ancient synoecism between Celts, Germans and Romance people.
Our feminine ideal isn't Athena, but the housewife. I also have no idea where you pulled the "sole desiderata" expression from; it's a plural nominative neuter, so either sola desiderata, or in the context of your sentence, solum desideratum, but of course you could've avoided this by forgoing the pompous Latin expression and just saying "sole desire".

I gave it a couple more tries but I'm always like 5% to 10% short. Any advice on how to deal with it? Is it even possible to break the boss twice? And by that I mean four times, both shields twice?
The closest I've gotten is breaking the first shield as soon as possible, then ignoring Xiangling entirely, focusing on doing as much damage with Varesa as possible while reapplying Iansan's skill and burst and Chevreuse's skill while the boss is semi-vulnerable, and then in the last 20-30 seconds also break the second shield and go ham trying to beat the timer. It feels like I'm always just a little bit off.
Is this the way to go with Varesa teams or am I playing this horribly wrong and I should be trying to break both shields twice, twice?
