still sick aside, i need everyone to see my vision of zuo ran continuous theme (including artemrosa partnership dynamic) that goes from one of my faves card

day and night -> belle nuit d'amour -> per asper ad astra -> a thousand mountains -> the timely rain -> 2nd solo sss -> 5th birthday card

i would add inner reflections ssr (dream & hereafter) but it set after blossom ch 2 so its less linear, more adding flavour of it because how he was tbh

[laciefuyu]

I am still kinda sick (which is why I havent do my usual rounded post nor giffing, my brain fried for most part LOL)

i don't see any web event for 4th anni in global but i remember seeing one for 3rd anni...was it like that originally in cn?

Hello! Sorry I only saw it now, I had a terrible day yesterday so I haven't opened this website.

But I think there is none? It has been like a year ago tho so my mind is dodgy, but I think last year I only have it on global, not tw server.

[laciefuyu]

i had so many drafts but end up not posting because i just reading and reading lmfao

Hello @ad-hawkeye XD

I saw the last tag and since I might be responsible for money flying, I just gotta say that invitation with por una cabeza is the one I recorded is from the event story. (The anniv format is fascinating but that talks for another post)

But I can record the actual invitation ost while checking the preview of it, and here you go

I hope it helps wwww

[laciefuyu]

//CN/TW server spoilers

The (paid) invitation is insert cg for the event story too which I recorded and I know a lot of people have probably seen this (paid) invitation considering it's all over twitter (and I will gifs everyone's invitation eventually) but please listen to me and turn on the sound, it's easter egg for those who knows (and sorry for the small freeze lol)

No I haven't read (or reread in the glb server case) the new card because I am busy (irl & multiple games events) but I think I need to show everyone the artemrosa post evol live2d because it is honestly so mesmerizing to watch (tho when I have time I am going to talk bits about 5th anniv and how they handling this theme)

hiiii I love your edits and I was wondering. If there are any angst cards coming in the next year that I need to save for. I love vyn the most if you could help me out 🥺 thank you!

Hi!

Thank you for the kind words, and sorry only able to answer right now because all my games have been in sync with so many of my biases events to do plus read and I've been in giffing hell (and stuffs I haven't cross posted) XD

As for Vyn angst cards hum, I am not sure exactly what can be considered as one but the one I considered pretty intense in the present timeline card is his 5th Birthday Card (crucial card for his lore and chara dev tbh) and his AU card from Omni-Spirits: Dark Fates.

This one is the 5th Bday Card

I don't have Vyn's Omni-Spirit card LOL I read it outside the game and I love it a lot

I have his Forever Young: Amorae Ensnare card but that one is all things considered very much pure love hahahaah it's cute and I enjoyed reading it

But yeah, I hope that answer is satisfying XD

hey! do you know what cards were on the anniversary banner last year? all the guys. I'm thinking about bait banner but last year i spent 80 pulls on a card that later I received in anniversary banner....i've been traumatized ever since

Hey, Anon!

Funnily, the 4th Anniv Banner is currently rerunning in TW server so in fact, I can tell you www

Luke = Lukewarm Fragrance SSR

Artem = New Skies SSR

Vyn = Aimed At Your Heart SSR

Marius = Precious Mornings SSR

I don't know if the GLB server would change it around but this is it, hopefully this is helpful for you to decide on about the bait banner pull!

sometimes i remember that adorable amusement event is supposed to be right after the 4th anniv and laughed

which is in the grand scheme of things it's alright because it leans to more light-hearted and sweet things but for me last year, it gave me quite confidence that event stories in 5th year would be interesting to think over (it does, it does i think everything has merit to think over lately albeit i have two absolute favourites event stories for zuo ran that yet occurred)

[laciefuyu]

Zuo Ran and memories always have a melancholic flavour, despite calling his past mostly filled with something uninteresting. The statement is not quite true considering the traces of some memories he shared with her occasionally has a flavour of regret, especially childhood regret.

Let's retrace a bit to the past as far as Loving Memories SSR, he told Rosa about a bit that happened in his childhood. His parents were always working, so he rarely had chances to go to places like Amusement Park, and Nie Qiu means for him to enjoy and remember that day in the Amusement Park but it ended up being remembered for something else because he never got to fully experience it as Neil had to return because there is development in the case he is working on.

And Rosa never forgot this despite it something he said a long while ago before they were dating, and in Heart Listener SR as she observed the thing he said about and with Felix, make her recall what he said to her in Loving Memories SSR and question him whether he had similar childhood with Felix, while Artem denied it was that bad but he was a child so he had regrets as he said here.

and her response to it was to ensure making it up in the present time, in the way they can do it together.

Or in his recent SR, Sweet Woven Memories SR, about the cotton candy. The way that memory stuck in him but he also never told anyone about it until Rosa noticed his fixation on it. He also tried to downplay it a bit and called it weird to be so focused on it but again, Rosa's response is so good because she immediately called it cute and near the end story, once again making it up for him in order to resolve that regret.

There is also A Thousand Mountains SSR. When Zuo Ran told her about how he waited for his father, and the question that lingered like a shadow but ended never asked, the question that he considered quite childish in hindsight but Rosa was the one who convinced him to try and ask again. Even though the one in the Capital failed, when Zuo Linchuan visited them in Stellis City, she tried again for him.

Then to the recent Adorable Amusement Event Story where he told her about the Fairy Tale he heard from a storyteller from back then, and how he never got to hear the ending of it nor any commemorative things left to remember that summer, and her response was trying to find the story ending for him.

That's why a certain section in the epilogue moved me so much. I remember the first time I read this event story last year I was feeling emotional over it.

"And because childhood memories fade as the years pass, and he's not good at treasuring [childhood memories], so you want to help him record them piece by piece."

Few examples above regarding his memories have similar sentiment on how he gently downplayed his feeling or saying it's alright/it doesn't matter (which is classic Artem response or to borrow that narration from Day and Night SSR "Yet his tone is soft and gentle, as if he wants to downplay their impact.") but this is why the way Rosa take notice of it and how she carefully taken care of it, and treating it as something precious is important.

Because Artem was a child who used to put himself aside, the "mature", the "good and understanding" child that doesn't want the adults around him to worry about him.

Therefore those memories slipped from his grasp, only occasionally remembered yet still stung. He needs someone who would tell him that all of that are precious, and deserve to be taken care of, deserve to be remembered, deserve to be made up for simply because it's his.

It feels like Rosa crouched in front of his inner child, and embraces him tightly and warmly. How he deserves to be remembered and loved even tho he has gotten used to being forgotten.

And so all those memories become something painted with a warm feeling instead of something barely remembered and foiled with regret.

Anyway, Adorable Amusement Event Story has been one of my favourite event stories. It's short and yet written with so much warmth, and I was and am still very thankful about it.

That's all and I hope folks who encounter this ramble enjoy it.
