I cannot seem to have a conversation with my boyfriend about a more complex topic without him just failing to process what I am bringing forth to the conversation properly, extrapolating something completely different from what I am trying to say, and then responding by condescendingly explaining things to me that I do not need explained to me.

And then he will get mad when I accuse him of mansplaining.

Hi! If you don’t mind, this is just my interpretation of the character silhouette and Skirk with some attempts at color coding that I hope makes sense; as well as why I’m personally interpreting them as the same. I think something to keep in mind is that this is likely either a character posing or their drawn art or an idle animation being used for the outline, compared to a closer view of the default in-game model. And some characters have had alterations from their first appearances to when they were playable - Wanderer’s design changes being an extreme example.

but we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m not sure what to think about the claim she’s cryo. I’ve seen leakers claim Dain will be a pyro unit. So idk what to believe there. Adding some kind of abyss element and new reactions would be really cool.

I think there's too many details that don't line up for it to be so certain that they're the same. There's Skirt also accessories on Skirk's gloves that stick out that are missing from this that doesnt make sense from the angle. She has also already undergone a huge amount of changes from her initial concept art to what appeared in Masquerade of the Guilty, so they've already spent a significant amount of time polishing her design. Wanderer's initial design had traits that were distinctly not playable friendly such as the hat cape completely obscuring the back of the character, meanwhile Skirk's model is already in the state of a playable friendly design so i dont expect any major redesign when she does become playable. It just doesn't make sense for her to release any time soon and she certainly won't be a cryo character.

If it is Skirk, then I'm only expecting her to appear in the story again but no release any time soon.

But I honestly think it is a cryo character and just a totally different character.

People on Hoyolab are SO upset with me for saying that silhouette isn't Skirk my god hoyoverse fans are the most angry gamers ever. Yall giving leage of legends players a run for their money. At least league fans are mad over a competitive game.

Hoyoverse fans lose their marbles over anniversary rewards and fans with different character theories than them lmao

Anyone believing the very fake leaks that she will be released in 5.7 and be Cryo knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THIS CHARACTER

I wish people had an iota of observation skills because look at these two silhouettes. This is NOT Skirk. The hair hangs differently and Skirk's dangling fabric on her outfit hangs more unevenly. The hair piece in the silhouette is more spikey than Skirks.

I also just saw the ultimate copium saying that leaks revealed a 5.7 Skirk release. Sooo let me just inform you all that Skirk is not releasing in the 5.0s - she will not even release during the 6.0s - and not to get your hopes up.

Skirk is like Dainsleif in that she does not use any of the current seven playable elements in the game, and she will not come out until after Snezhnaya when the combat elements are expanded again for the Khaenri'ah chapter. Skirk and Dainsleif probably both use the "void" element associated with the abyss. They will not come out until after the void element is added, which will likely not be until "The Dream Yet to Be Dreamed" chapter which comes AFTER Snezhnaya

They are not going to randomly give us a new element in the the 5.0s. Shut up. Use your brain. Get off the copium

Also friend who cut me off posted some time back that they "slept on Frieren bc they thought it would be all 'moe moe' garbage but that they were presently surprised. however it's still 90% 'moe moe' garbage"

MOE MOE WHERE???? LMAO?? DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT MOE MEANS???

maybe sometimes when Himmel is on screen but still WHAT?????

I only JUST finished the Narzissenkreuz questline recently and I NEVER knew the Tower of Ipsissimus completely sinks by the end of it. The area where it was looks so empty AND you could see that thing from so far away it's actually a pretty drastic change to multiple skyline views within the game, too.

I love how Lighter not only accepts this but bets a can of cat food so on the off chance he does lose (he won't) the cat gets something out of it 😭😭😭

[childeapologist]

still relevant?

So I pulled for Sunday for the fact he is Sunday, but I own 0 characters with a summons so this man is effectively Bronya 2.0 on my account until I get Aglaea 💀🤣

Friendly reminder that fan-made content (fanart, fanfic, fanvids, etc) are:

extremely time consuming. Remember someone actually took time out of their life to create that, time they could’ve used to, idk, sleep, for example

entertainment you’re consuming for free. I can’t stress this enough: you’re enjoying someone else’s craft for free. You paid exactly zero money to look at/read/watch it.

S H A R E D  with you, not made for you. This is the most important point: someone created that, put it online and you found it. No one forced you to consume that fanwork, you C H O S E  to do it. 

Whenever you feel like leaving a mean comment, anonymous hate or make a ~clever post about how ‘lol look at all of these overused tropes every fic writer crams into their fics’ remember you’re being a dick to someone who shared their work with you. You’re not being funny, you’re not being edgy, you’re not being brave for calling something out - you’re being a dick.
