Really loved this bit of Boothill characterization from the end of the Dreamjoy Memoir travel log quest after Penacony:

Because of course he would notice that. Of course it would resonate with him. The IPC used Penacony in much the same way they used Boothill's homeplanet, Aeragon-Epharshel. He can pick up on all of this because he's lived it. So of course it would speak to him.

It's such a shame he and Captain Revolver's inspiration, Tiernan, never got to meet. I think they would have really gotten along.

#honkai star rail #hsr boothill #hsr #boothill #there is certainly. something. that gets at me about this.#it's in the fact that Boothill doesn't count himself as similar to Tiernan even though I feel like they must have had similar actions/views #he doesn't see himself as a hero by any means even though he gave up everything to hunt down Oswaldo Schneider-#-and put a stop to the violent occupation of Aeragon-Epharshel #you can kinda see it in multiple voicelines of his where he talks about himself and I think even in one of his parlor car lines too #not that I think he's secretly like. some kind gentle bleeding heart pacifist under his bloodthirsty shell or anything fjkldsajflkdsaj #but he should really give himself more credit!#it's ok sweetpea you're a hero to me uwu
