#I don't have Topaz but I do have Boothill and Bronya

[feroluce]

I saw this video on Twitter yesterday and thought I'd share, because it has something really cool about Boothill that I had never noticed before: how he handles the recoil of his pistol!

The video isn't in English, but you can get the gist of it pretty well just by watching. There are three characters so far who use guns- Bronya, Topaz, and Boothill. Bronya and Topaz, both normal humans, will get knocked backwards by the recoil. It's not by very much, but it becomes pretty noticeable when you mash the basic attack button in the overworld map. It's enough to move them over the line on the floor in the video.

Boothill on the other hand- you can see him jolt from the recoil, but he isn't actually knocked back at all! The transcript of the video mentions this being due to his cyborg body and having a better center of gravity, which is really cool! I love seeing more concrete evidence of what he gained with the loss of his human body, and how it helps him in combat and his Hunt for revenge. It kinda makes you understand more why he went through with it, and why he considers it worth the heavy price he paid.

okokok. making a list of. hsr characters with Weird pupil shape (so, not including colored ones - bc pretty much everyone has those - or like, round but elongated bc those are p common too and look more like a stylistic choice. also, only counting pupils, so boothill's target eyes for example do not count). for reasons you can probably guess. organizing them in groups and gonna give some thoughts later

sampo (diamond)

guinaifen (diamond)

topaz (diamond)

lingsha (diamond)

ratio (slit)

yukong (slit)

jiaoqiu (slit)

jade (slit)

acheron (slit)

blade (bro idk how to describe this shape. somewhere between a thin diamond and slit ig)

aventurine (kinda like blade. thin diamond-ish)

kafka (none??)

black swan (also none?)

huohuo (paws) (that's adorable btw)

pela (hexagon)

misha (keyhole)

might've missed some in which case, sorry 😳 i tried my best 🥺

anyway now for my thoughts abt meanings and such:

diamond eyed characters seeeeem to have smth to do with money or gaining etc? except for lingsha. tho she might have that too idk i haven't read her character stories. but if that's really like a purposeful group then that shape makes sense!

misha is not. real. so idk if i need to count him. and he's the only one of his "kind" so it doesn't matter much either hehe

huohuo also seems to be a stylistic choice rather than have meaning

kafka and black swan are. interesting. they have some things in common - both being nihility characters, and knowing wayyyy more than other characters lol - but it's not like they're the only 2 characters who fit that bill 😭 i mean silver wolf knows as much as kafka if not more, and she's also nihility, so. ig they're both extremely chill if that means anything (kafka can't feel fear, but we know black swan can, so it's nothing like that either 😭). idk i'm lost. cool design choice i'll give them that

i'm lost abt pela too ngl. i think other than ratio she's the first character i noticed to have weirdly shaped pupils so that's smth

speaking of. slit gang. they were my original purpose with this post.

jade is obvious. snake goes brrr. or sssss i guess

jiaoqiu and yukong are both foxians, but. these eyes are not foxian exclusive, and other foxians have normal eyes (and huohuo is there also bless her soul). other than that idk if they have much in common either? i'd say smth like being extremely dedicated to their duty/to one person but again it's not exclusive to them so eh.

now acheron and ratio are both interesting in that case.

don't @ me bc i never played another hoyo game so i'm using info i heard through others. but. ik acheron is like this universe's version of a character that exists in other games. so that's cool.

and, there's now a theory running around that ratio knows he's in a game/that star rail's reality in a simulation, in part connected to prometheus from. i wanna say hi3?? who is also bronya and silver wolf or smth (and silver wolf also knows she's in a game as one can probably guess from her lines). i could not tell you more than that

^but what i'm getting at by laying both of these out is that maybe being aware of reality being... not real...? is relevant here? idk how aware acheron is, at least on a conscious level, but i assume there's Something. but then why does silver wolf have normal eyes. help me

aventurine and blade are. interesting. ig trauma and seeing so much death simply fucked up their eyes /j (no seriously i got nothing. being suicidal in hsr's verse just does that)

these are all the thoughts i have for you now 🫡 sorry there are no real conclusions here. honestly i am more laying out info to see if it connects to anything in the future, or for YOU 🫵 dear reader to possibly make connections that i couldn't reach 👍

-Regarding NSFW works, I will either write in gender neutral/non binary terms or with female pronouns. No male reader, since I don't feel comfortable with that

- I also write for character x character ships (counting all of them would be too much for here, but I am a Multishipper, so I'm okay with most stuff so long as it's not something with a huge age gap or illegal)

Vanitas: nothing to be added right now

Some of these are just personal preferences for what I feel comfortable with. I ask of you that you please don't ask NSFW stuff for characters that I don't feel comfortable writing for.

If a certain character is not mentioned at all, than that just means that I DON'T write for them.

I DO feel comfortable writing heavier topics like self harm, depression, suicide, death and stuff like that, as long as it is not glorified or romanticised. Stuff like that should always be taken seriously, never be taken lightly, made fun of or be glorified. That is just wrong.

What I don't write, ever:

Obviously illegal stuff like Incest and rape, etc.

I won't write for children characters (i.e Klee, Diona,...), especially not explicit stuff. If anyone were to ask something like that off me, that person will be immediatly blocked.

Also, I won't write anything including pregnancy or stuff with kids, since I don't feel comfortable with these topics, at all.

Okay, I think that should be all for now. If I did forget anything or you still have questions, just ask away and I'll answer them as soon as I get to them.

With that being said, I wish you a pleasant rest of your day/night!<3

which hsr pairings do you think have the strongest ace attorney-style prosecutor-defense attorney energy

Hmmmm, fascinating question.

Aventio/Ratiorine is pretty straightforward for me bc they definitely read as people who get enrichment from arguing with each other recreationally. Ratio lends himself to the prosecutor role with his abrasive way of challenging people's logic to encourage them to think critically and find the truth, while Aventurine's chaotically clever bullshitting is very Defense Attorney Coded (also he's Preservation while Ratio is Hunt so the path symbolism works well too).

I wouldn't say I have strong feelings about Bronseele but they do have those early-franchise Narumitsu vibes of childhood friends who were separated for years and have a vitriolic enemies-to-friends-to-a-secret-third-thing journey after reuniting. Cocolia isn't as heinous as Manfred, but she was a corrupt authority figure who adopted Bronya, groomed her as a successor, and raised her to look down on the place she came from, similar to Manfred molding Edgeworth into a cutthroat prosecutor as a fuck-you to Gregory. I don't know if I could see Seele as a lawyer but I think at the very least she'd be at the bench as informal co-counsel when Bronya inevitably gets accused of a crime she didn't commit.

Tbh I don't really have a lot of romantic ships for HSR, but in terms of other character dynamics that I think would the suit some of the classic Ace Attorney paradigms:

Yanqing and Yunli are two promising child prodigies who immediately clash over their mentors' differing legal philosophies. Both of them insist on carrying swords in the courtroom. They are both prepared to throw hands at any moment. No one is really sure if either of them are old enough to be here, but the swords are a big deterrent for anyone challenging them on it.

Astral Express Family: These guys are so Wright Anything Agency coded. Himeko and Welt serve as mentors to the core trio, each of whom have their own weird abilities (March's camera has some kind of supernatural memory function, the Trailblazer has access to the Simulated Universe matrix courtesy of Herta, and Dan Heng's main shtick is the data bank until the big reveal that he has some kind of Vidyadhara channeling ability).

The IPC is its own prestigious defense firm, with a lengthy pedigree and a penchant for taking high-profile cases with a lot of money behind them. Jade mentored both Aventurine and Topaz, who have taken her advice in very different directions. Rumor has it that Jade has never failed to get a client declared innocent, but that there is a heavy price to pay for accepting her services.

Boothill is a rogue prosecutor who just. does not respect the rule of law in any way, shape, or form. He (rightly) has no faith in the legal system to deliver justice, but I'm envisioning a Blackquill-esque scenario where he's in jail and mainly working with the prosecutor's office so he can continue investigating Oswaldo Schneider. Argenti is the overly enthusiastic detective assigned as his investigative partner, though Boothill also relies on Rappa as an informant outside of the police force. He challenges the defense to a pistol duel at least once per case.

Blade and Kafka would both make interesting prosecutors in the AA universe, especially with their history with various members of the AE crew. Blade is very Godot-coded in my mind; he's at the prosecutor's bench the first time Dan Heng successfully channels Imbibitor Lunae and it's a Whole Thing.

And some client/case ideas bc my brain immediately jumped to how I would interpret the different worlds/arcs as their own games in the franchise:

Sampo is our client in the tutorial case of the Belobog arc. He becomes a recurring character across multiple games, regardless of whether it makes sense for him to be there or not. The Larry Butz vibes are strong.

Guinaifen is a mid-game suspect in the Xianzhou arc, accused of killing a rival street performer. With help from Sushang and Huohuo, we manage to expose the true culprit as a vengeful heliobus.

Famous pop star Robin is accused of murder the week before her big Penacony performance. We clear her name by exposing Sparkle as an impostor, only for Robin herself to be found dead in her dressing room shortly thereafter.

Herta goes missing and Arlan is charged on flimsy circumstantial evidence due to his security clearance (and a dose of institutional elitism bc he's one of the few non-researchers on staff). Ratio prosecutes the case and initially seems like an egocentric asshole until it becomes clear that he is pushing us to uncover the truth in a way that will challenge people's faith in the academic elite. Peppy is called by the defense as a key witness.

I have no choice but to do this now. My Zhongli plush is being threatened *cough* @sh1-n0bu! *cough*. Once again, I can't edit for the life of me so writing it is.

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Dan Heng and Aventurine. Their backstories are just so sad AND I WANNA HUG THEM DAMMIT!

LIKED BY EVERYONE BUT ME: Jade, Topaz, and Rappa. I will not explain why.

DIDN'T LIKE AT FIRST: Aventurine and Sunday. Aventurine because he seemed weird to me. And Sunday...well iykyk.

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT: Blade. All we got was that he was an old man, he was a blacksmith, and he has the most hottest voice of all time!

LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER: Sampo...I'm not saying anything else...

LIKE THE DESIGN, DISLIKE CHARACTER: Silverwolf. Like her design,but she seems a bit too...annoyed about everything.

LIKE THE CHARACTER,DISLIKE THE DESIGN: Bronya maybe. I can't think of anyone.

SIMILAR PERSONALITY: Stelle. Mostly because of the shit and giggles me and her share.

FAV SHIP: Guns and Roses (Argenti and Boothill)

LEAST FAVORITE SHIP: Aventurine shipped with anyone from from the IPC! They don't deserve the sweet Avgin!

WOULD NEVER BEFRIEND IRL: Jade,Topaz,Argenti, Sampo,Sparkle,everyone in the Stellaron Hunters except for Firefly/Sam,Herta,Asta,Tingyun,Jingliu,Loucha, Moze mostly for the fear that he would kill me, Mr. Reca, Black Swan, Rappa, and Dr. Ratio because the man would criticized my insecure self.

Now, If you'll excuse me, I need to save my plushies as a certain smut writer is threatening their life. *COUGH COUGH* SH1-N0BU! *COUGH COUGH*

these games are way too much fun

as much as i would love to be delusional and say that i would bag blade, i aint bagging SHIT. also i have a beef with nearly every female xianzhou design, theyre such a design exhaustion
