There’s something so interesting about the Stonehearts taking on new names. The stripping of individualism and forcing them to conform under the gemstone, hierarchy based system of the IPC makes me want to write an essay but unfortunately we only have two stonehearts’ lore available to us, one of which seems pretty happy with the IPC’s conformity.

#YOU DON’T UNDERSTANDDDDDD my theory is that the IPC is basically a secondary space America #(with the first space America being Penacony cause duh)#except the IPC is DEEP into the capitalism and workaholism culture stuff #and the gemstone names are like an erasing of the stonehearts’ culture if that makes sense #like kakavasha is based on a Romani festival I believe #and I think everyone knows about how the avgins/signonians culture heavily draws from Romani culture #and while we don’t know much about Topaz’s planet Jelena is a Slavic name #although I feel like that was chosen just to hammer in topaz’s empathy for Belobog aka space russia #I just don’t know how to word it without sounding bad? like one might think everyone being equal is good #but not when the IPC is involved #also I think aven’s story did a pretty good showcase of how his culture is important to him but made others look down on him #anyway in the mean time I’m thinking of either looking into ‘Penacony is an allegory for modern day America’#or reading up on high cloud quintet lore #honkai star rail #hsr #aventurine #hsr aventurine #aventurine hsr #topaz hsr #hsr topaz #topaz #lark rambles #yk if Jade turns out to be from a similar background to Aven and Topaz #(ie. planet who’s citizens are indentured servants to the IPC)#I will 110% write the name essay
