Any corrections and additional info will be added to this comment!

• Apologies in advance for any mispronunciations, I fixed as many as I could.
• In the staff of scarlet sands, it’s said that people can follow the moonlight on the dunes to find their final fate.
• In a 4.4 world quest, Paimon comes off suspicious when asked about if she plays with seelies often. “Ha… sure, played with them…” This could be referencing how the moon sisters were worshiped by the seelie if it isn't hinting at Paimon, herself, being one.
• Paimon could be a reincarnation rather than a weakened version, similar to Neuvillette.
• The Welkin Lady’s bucket also has a triquetra on it. After claiming the primogems, you can also see a flipped upside down triquetra in the top left corner which looks like a more advanced version of Paimon’s.
• The crimson moon seen in Ei’s demo is the third moon, not the loading screen moon.

altho Paimon said something really important there: "Maybe that god has been crying all this time because they were bullied."

[majga.]

Also interesting how Paimon's shop also refreshes at the beginning of each month

[starknight]

What is interesting is that fact she knew we could wield the elements of teyvat without a vision and she wasn't surprised, this tell me that this was not the first time

[NoobArtist]

There's a voiceline from the traveler, I don't remember the name but Paimon says that she doesn't know how she's appearing and disappearing but she knows that she can do it. I think it's a proof that Paimon lost her powers before and memories and now she's a small being now

[raiboodie]

Since i dont see that anybody else has mentioned it yet, one of the melusines call aether a monster that'll swallow the world and paimon a rainbow balloon with a string attached to the sky

[lnsflare]

Theory: Paimon isn't one of the 3 moon sisters, but in fact a 4th moon that predates then and is being hidden by the false sky.

[wordsmith]

What you say about the Sustainer makes sense. If Genshin is parallel to Honkai Impact and the Sustainer is parallel to Kiana, then it makes sense because in Honkai Impact, Kiana is said to have found herself stuck on the moon!

[Etheryuu]

I'd like to point out that the moon in the loading screen is the same as the one we see in game, it may look different because of perspective. Allow me to explain.
The loading screen is theorised to be a place called The Celestial Atlas (in the whole game this place has been mentioned like twice one of which was in zhongli's first story quest) this place exist in the same overworld that we play in, just that it's up high in the sky even higher than celestia. This place serves as a medium for travelling between worlds that's why we see the twins there in the first cutscenes because they were about to leave Teyvat. So the moon in the loading screen is the same as the one in game, i even looked at the patterns and they appear to be similar, the only difference you may notice can be due to the height perspective.
But ofc this is just my take on it, I could be wrong

[akirayoshiko]

I really like the idea of how paimon is the one singing in the loading screen, I've always loved that song

[TheLaziestKingAntagonist]

Paimon has an immunity to abyssal corruption, but the moon sister's turned against each other. My theory is that it was abyssal corrupution that plagued there minds during the cataclysm

[Xelluse]

Btw, very interesting that Mona even when she was not able to read fate of a Traveller, she still was able to predict some things, like she predicted where Traveller will be and waited there and that Traveller was in danger also, but she was not able to do something even similar with Paimon.

Btw, in the game there are 2 different mentions of Paimon - Paimon and P.A.I.M.O.N., like A.S.I.M.O.N. (Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network), so P.A.I.M.O.N. may be Primordial Algorithm of Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network, but maybe not Paimon herself, but she used this name. Also remember that Archons can "shrink" if they will use too much powers, and powers in Genshin are Knowlage and Memories as we know from Nahida's and Sumeru quests and also from Gouba's event, so maybe Paimon have not remembered her name, like Gouba for example, who do not remember anything from the past, but still was able to recognize Morax, but maybe she used the first name that came to her mind - Primordial Algorithm of Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network - P.A.I.M.O.N. - Paimon....

But I do not think that Paimon is literally one of Moon sisters, connected most likely, but not the one of.

Everyday a "paimon identity revealed" video in this community

[ThMystery]

As someone else said, paimon is immune to forbidden knowledge but the moon sisters fall was caused by it, seems contradictory.
But the biggest point is that neither apep nor neuvillette recognized paimon as a shade or moon sister, since they fought against them...
For them paimon is just...paimon. Odd enough they act like shes nothing special but mona and the sin shade not being able to read her fate, proves that she at least is hiding something or that shes a much higher entity like sophia mother of the demiurge.

[jodofe]

Also, during the Thelxie event, Paimon really wanted to roleplay a goddess.

[edskygaming]

I believe her Identity will be revealed in Natlan by the pyro archon… not only about her, but also about the celestia, the tsaritsa, and also I have a feeling that she’s the only one that have an answer about his sister.

[abyzcx]

...anyone remember the lantern rite with venti and zhongli. when venti start talking before entering the room. It starts with something to do with 'wind', and Paimon subconsciously completes the sentence with something about 'time'?

[Baguettoes]

PAIMON IS A FISH SHE CAN BE HOOKED AND REELED IN!?

[Subha]

0:38 Aether fished paimon and save her life.

"Ah, you were at my side all along. My true mentor. My guiding moonlight."
