#also if this means he's rerunning this means his weapon's rerunning. so if he's rerunning with arle (idfk just a wild guess)

Yandere Themes, slight talk of gore, Lil angst, not proofread, this is pretty long, brainrot?

Yandere HC for BLADE (Sahsrau and Reincarnation/One sided love au)

REINCARNATION/ONE-SIDED LOVE AU

•Before when you and blade were together, he was, happy something that he cannot say he is now

•He told you not to go out in the blizzard, you PROMISED him that you would be okay… •Your body silhouette, slowly walking towards him, crystal tears, trembling body hurt him •Catching you in his arms wasnt enough, kissing your lips one last time, once he pulled back, your eyes were dull… •Seeing your dead cold body, in the snow, your lips parted and slightly having a blue hue to them made his heart ache •Years, Decades has pasted, his S/O dying hasnt made him the same, until he saw you.. •It was you… his perfect darling.. his pain, his internal debt, washing away once he saw you, no his DARLING •Hes not the one for small talk but ye went up to you, starting up a chat, you two clicked almost immediately! •You wondered how did he know so much? When you asked, he said he ‘ assumed ‘ because he liked the hobbies and interests that you did too •That leading you both to become friends, very good friends, he saw you like his S/O, well I mean.. you ARE his S/O right? •When he confessed, he was thinking you would say yes, just like before, but you didnt. No… no no no! This isnt supposed to happen! Your supposed to love him back! •He left without a trace, you were confused, you tried to get him back but he didnt come back.. •You always felt someone watching you, but you were right, blade kept watching you from the sidelines, haunting you like a ghost •He didnt try to talk to you again… not yet, he waited and waited so long, watching and haunting you like a ghost, like a leopard creeping up on its prey •Any types of dating you tried to have the person would never come, theres something driving them away, was it you? Maybe you shouldnt have rejected blade.. •Seeing you second guess brought a long awaited smile to his face, no a smirk as he would walk up behind you, his hand on your shoulder, The two of you knew, after this, you might not see the light of day again •Maybe you just dont remember! You just need to snap back! Dont worry sweetheart! Your boyfriend will help you! Just like always, soon he will have you in his arms again, only HE WILL

SAHSRAU

•You just started playing Hsr when blades rerun came out, you thought he was pretty! So you pulled on him with your last golden ticket! •Surprise Surprise! You got him, you were so happy, giggling and clapping, when you opened his character menu complimenting him on his looks, voice, weapon, fighting skills, not thinking he heard you… Oh how cute you were… •To say the least, he was surprised when he heard you, he rolled his eyes, he knew what THOSE people thought of him… it was disgusting to him… •But overtime, you staying up hours just to get him up to level, he slowly started to grow attached. When you least expect it he was always watching you, more than you were watching him •He asked silver wolf, half asleep to make his phone be able to chat with yours, she didnt care she just did it asking him to leave so she would sleep •Anytime you would try to pull for someone else, he would always rig it, he thought it was… interesting cute when you were said when you didnt get the 50/50, its alright! You have blade still and you still love him.. right? •When he had ahold of more of your info, selfies, files, now your number he was going internally feral but also more defensive of his phone your HIS no one else needs to know that you exist… •He knows that you still have school/work so he pretended that he was someone that you met at school/work •For some reason, the feeling he has, it makes him feel happy, warm, maybe love? When you screen comes in contact with him, his eyes slightly look to the camera smiling ever so slightly •You thinking it was a easter egg you were smiling back as you were excited as well knowing that made him love you more •IF YOU DESCENDED no one knew, you hardly had any other characters, the only people who had a suspicion was Trailblazer, Dan Heng, March 17, Himiko, Welt, Pompom, Kafka and silver wolf, other than them no one really had the idea •Knowing that just made this easier for blade, just coming up and swooping you into his arms, I mean… you can give him this just one.. right your grace?

MCU Timeline: Iron Man. Part 2 (Back home)

Part 1.

This part is a little out of order because I haven't yet covered the 3 months Tony spent in Afghanistan. But I felt it necessary to first find out when he returned to the States and explain the difference in the calendars of our reality and the MCU.

This is the screen with the Mad Money recording that Pepper was watching the day she changed Tony's reactor. It says May 4, 2008 10 am PDT. It wasn't the day Tony came home, but at least the next day. Or most people assume it's the next day. In fact, Tony returned home on:

May 2, 2008

~12:30 - Tony arrives on Edwards Air Force Base.

~15:30 - Tony announces he is shutting down weapons production at SI (the drive from Edwards AFB to SI HQ is approximately 2.5 hours, add a stop at Burger King. Plus, the journalists needed time to gather at SI).

~20:00 - Tony is finally in his Malibu mansion (it's already dark outside. He spent a few hours at SI HQ and then drove 1.5 hours home). He scans his body and the arc reactor and starts working on a new version.

Calendar issue:

Here you can see the date - Thursday the 16th (2008). In our universe, May 16, 2008 was Friday. It is not the only time in the movie in which the dates and days of the week do not correspond to ours. For the timeline to work properly, we have to use the difference and remember to move the dates back one day (Fri to Thu, Sat to Fri, etc).

Why it was not May 3?

May 2, 2008 - Thursday in the MCU.

May 3, 2008 - Friday.

May 4, 2008 - Saturday.

US Stock market hours: 9:30-4:00 pm EST/6:30-1:30 pm PDT (Mon-Fri, closed on weekends).

Mad Money aired at 6 pm EST from Mon to Fri, with reruns at 4 am EST/1 am PDT on Saturday.

Stock market: Tony gave his press conference at around 3 pm PDT (which is 6 pm EST). The US stock market was already closed. It needed at least another day to react to Tony's announcement and drop SI's points. So, it happened the next day - May 3 (Friday).

Mad Money: Pepper was watching a recording of the new episode of Mad Money when SI stock was already falling (bottom of the screen). The episode couldn't have been recorded the day Tony arrived, and it couldn't have been filmed the day Pepper watched it (it's Saturday 10 am PDT/1 pm EST). This happened in the interim, on May 3, after stock marked dropped SI shares (Mad Money's slot is 6 pm EST). Since May 4th falls on a Saturday in the MCU, Pepper may have been watching the recording of the rerun that aired at 4 am EST (1 am PDT), which she missed because she was sleeping.

Reactor and rest: Tony needed time to build a new reactor. This means getting all the components, designing and manufacturing the thing. He also obviously had time to rest, because he looks much better than on the day of his arrival, and not as if he had not slept all night working.

Part 3, Part 4

SotE Spoilers (Just in case)

After finishing SotE a week or two ago and reflecting on the experience I wanted to share my issues with the DLC. I'll leave out if a boss frustrated me for whatever reason outside of my first point, as I feel like that will definitely improve with reruns or at least solidify my opinions, but it's not like a couple bad bosses are a major issue for me anyway. With that said, here's what bothers me about SotE: -Bad hitboxes and weird timings on some bosses, this definitely did not feel like something I just need to learn like e.g. Messmer's or Rellana's long combo strings. Gaius and the Golden Hippo were especially bad in the hitbox department, Putrescent Knight and Scadutree Avatar meanwhile had some REAL dodgy timings, and Radahn's cross slash feels entirely undodgeable. Bayle, while he is a favorite of mine, also definitely had timings I felt were really tight considering his HP, but I've been hearing a lot of people say he isn't as hard and his tight openings feel designed with Igon in mind so I imagine that will improve on reruns. -There really isn't much of a reason or incentive to explore for me, while the new cookbooks and spells are cool that's moreso questline or enemy drops, most overworld item pick-ups are just upgrade mats i can literally just buy and especially the amount of gloveworts bothers me, there's enough of them in basegame to max every wortwhile summon anyway and I personally don't use summons to begin with. -Adding to the previous point, there's a lot of stretches of land that just feel so empty, the most notable example are definitely the abyssal woods, an area you can't just run through really should have more in it in my opinion, but all the other overworld areas could use a lot more too. I also really don't get why the dungeons feel almost hidden away, but that's not a huge deal since they're at least all unique. -Scadutree blessing is a cool and interesting idea on paper, but for one I feel like 50 is a bit of a bloated value to collect all of them and their scaling is a bit op after the latest patch. That does kinda balance out though since it means I can collect like half of them and still be fine, but I still think the system is a bit messy. -The new selection of minibosses is pretty poor, Furnace Golems are ass, Death Knights and Ghostflame Dragons are cool at least, the rest is kind of boring and the amount of annoying NPC fights kinda bothers me (also the Gank Squad at the end is horrible)

-Some weapon classes still feel super undercooked. I honestly don't mind the new classes only having a small handful as it reduces the bloat of useless enemy drop weps you had in basegame and replaces them with solid infusable weapons, but whips, bows and etc actually feeling functional would have been nice With all that said I still love SotE and there's way more positives than these few negatives that i feel are more or less fairly objective. I have other personal gripes with the narrative and some other things but that's another can of worms.

[baeshijima]

i got jiyan in only 16 pulls that's the earliest ive ever pulled in a character banner in all of the gacha games ive played

right when i said ill just get him on his rerun with disappoined face then BOOM! he came home 🥺💖

now im spoiling him, gifting him the lustrous razor(?) and nonstop farming for his echos to make him so strong AND lemme tell you i HATE it bc i kept fighting the gorilla echo bc i need an aero one w crit rate to complete his aero damage 😭

i also cant stop staring and giggling while gazing at him to the point my little sister cringes at my lovesick expression

AND speaking of my little sissy the nine year old one from the prev ask i sent to u, she enjoys the wuwa gameplay so bad in fact she played it for eight hours lmao 😭 i tried to stop her but she said "i need to grind more for yinlin 🥺" and she said that if she doesnt get yinlin next month, she'll cry and quit the game lol 🤣

RAAAHHH EARLY JIYAN LETSGO NONNIE !!!! he really said why wait until rerun when u could have him now 😩 AND PLS THE ECHO GRIND 😭 i havent gotten too stuck into it yet bc im at like union lvl 18 (i havent progressed much bc ive been busy ;w;) but i remember watching cbt2 and thinking what a pain its going to be 😭 hopefully the drop rates are better than it was before and manifesting god tier echoes for u and ur jiyan nonnie 🙏🙏

AND HELP UR SISTER IS SO REAL FOR THAT 😭😭 if she threatens to quit that means the game has no choice but to give yinlin and her weapon to her trust 😌

[genshinconfessions]

(apologies if this is long and all over the place, I have a bad tendency to ramble XD) So I'm mildly kicking myself for not being able to pull Neuvillette last patch cause I finally decided to look into him properly while procrastinating doing Fontaine's story quest(got severely burned out of Genshin for a while thanks to relatives who also play Genshin around Fontaine's release so I'm way behind and got spoiled to hell on everything, only recently got back in after prodding Arley and loving her playstyle), and. Good god I have never wanted to hug a character so much before besides with Wanderer who my opinion of did a 180 after sumeru MSQ his character quest that resulted in me pulling him and his weapon. I just want to give Neuvi cuddles and hugs cause jesus christ he needs them as well as a break. SO besides trying to yoink Sethos next patch or other reruns I want happening(Which thankfully is few at this point due to the characters I've managed to get over the course playing meaning I'm content account wise mostly with the ones I have), I'm honest to god just going to hoard Primos until Neuvi runs again and try to get him, maybe also his weapon but I'll get him first and then try for his weapon XD (The good(?) thing that came from me skipping him this time though meant I was able to pull Arley and her sig cause I had been trying for Kazuha's weapon for my Kazuha and the resulting high pity meant I only had to spend two fates to get the spear, and then a friend helped me get Arley herself cause I'll be moving against my will soon so I wouldn't be able to grind for primos in time. So once I can pull for Neuvillette I'm honestly probably going to make those two the main DPSes of my Spiral Abyss teams after just Arley let me finally clear floors 9 to 11 with my mostly messily put together teams. Can't clear floor 12 yet, but it's progress cause I've never gotten that far before! :D)

congrats!!! neuvillette may not be coming again for a while (just because we know how genshin does their banners ;;) but i hope you get him the next time he runs!

[aetherial-boy]

Nebby talks Genshin Impact part one of many many parts

Neuvillette building and playstyle for everyone who either has him but has no idea what they’re doing or wants him on his rerun (whenever that happens)

SO neuvi is a main DPS character that’s unusual for two reasons:

-his charged attacks are what you get most damage out of (which is why one of his constellations levels his normal attacks up by three)

-he scales on HP

Build guide first - You can build him on 4 piece heart of depths, or 4 piece nymph’s dream for hydro sets, but 4 piece Marachusee Hunter is also really good on him. HP%, crit rate, crit damage and energy recharge are my focus stats, but don’t neglect elemental mastery either. I’ve got him on the weapon Ballad of the Boundless Blue, but I know that’s an event weapon that not everyone is gonna have. Good alternatives would be: Tome of the Eternal Flow, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds or Sacrificial Jade for 5 star and paid weapons, or The Widsith or Prototype Amber for free-to-play weapons

I have my Neuvillette at 1st constellation level, and I’d say that it’s alright but he’s just as good without any constellations in my opinion. If you’re someone who goes for as many constellations as possible, I’d go for 4 on him, as that’ll make more hydro balls and that means more charged attacks.

As for his playstyle, you’re gonna want to concentrate on charged attacks. When Neuvillette’s burst or skill hits an enemy little balls appear, and those let you charge up a charged attack faster. His burst allows for two charged attacks, and his skill for one. Because of his cool-downs, I usually do his skill, then a charged attack, then his burst, then two charged attacks, then skill and charged attack again. His normal attacks are okay, but I tend to avoid using them because they’re slow and clunky. Using his charged attack drains his health until it hits 50%, so keep that in mind. Collecting the balls while charging heals him too, so he’s self-sustaining if you always use the water balls to charge his attacks.

Teams for Neuvillette: crowd control is a must to maximise damage, so one of Kazuha, Venti or Sucrose is good to run with him. I also have a healer with him because of the HP cost of his charged attacks. I use Baizhu, and my fourth slot is filled by an electro or pyro user to have extra dendro reactions. I can see Neuvillette running well in freeze teams, but honestly he’d be good on any team where you need constant hydro applications or have off-field elements to react with.

I’m a really big fan of him, he’s my current main and I don’t think I’ll be swapping him any time soon.

[twilightknight17]

Today on P3R, a long update: Another full moon, KIDS IN THE WALLS!, actual consequences for shit teachers, and new abilities!

It is interesting to see that the number of Lost standing around increases over the leadup to the full moon. And other people are noticing.

We haven’t been able to talk to Fuuka yet, either, even though she supposedly has potential.

A girl passed out at the front gate of the school, and now rumors are running rampant because people think it’s a ghost. Junpei has the details, so, over to you, Junpei!

After a riveting story, Yukari refuses to believe it’s a ghost, so she wants to spend the week collecting information. Ughhhhhhhhh. Yukari, I have social links to do. Please. Don’t do this to me.

I’m already getting woken up at ungodly hours when we’re not even in Tartarus.

Baby boy, I expected you a lot closer to after we fought the Priestess. I’ve been so busy.

Pharos is just here to inform us that doom is once again a week away. He’s promised to come visit after again, though, so we’ll see how that goes. XD

Returning to school, Mr. Ekoda is off on a tangent about ghosts and spooky shit in his walls.

Still no teaching happening in this school.

I went out with Chihiro, the student council’s treasurer, and found out that the reason she’s so wary around guys is because her dad is a “very scary person”. She’s apparently away from him now, but oh my GOD. Can we get one visible, functional parent in this series other than Sojiro Sakura? I’m trying to think of any now, and my list is like… Sojiro, Zenkichi, Maki and Masao’s moms, and…?????

Another school day, and I guess we should finally go hang out with Kenji. He says he only needs a few minutes of my time.

Of course, as soon as I got there, he asked me to wait a minute, because…

Jesus christ, dude.

…..jesus christ, Ms. Kanou. You’re the ETHICS TEACHER.

Fine, Kenji. Fine. Go ahead. Do whatever. It’s cool. I am just vibing here until I can go home and watch TV.

Trish is hosting “Who’s Who?” and talking about a notable 20-year-old therapist with a beauty mark. This has to be a rerun, because Maki was 20 in P2, which was ten years ago. But then again, Featherman is all reruns, so… makes sense.

So, after combining what we know about all the various ghost stories, we’ve determined that all three girls who ended up in the hospital were friends. They also all hung out in that sketchy alley behind Port Island Station, where the bar and stuff are.

Yukari wants to go back there and investigate. Junpei is less than thrilled. He keeps insisting it’s a bad idea. I’m inclined to agree.

Yukari says she’s more afraid of stuff she can’t see. Junpei counters that he’s more afraid of things he can see. Like knives. And bats. But Yukari doesn’t listen, and just says that if it’s so “dangerous”, all the better that all three of us go.

Yukari, I’m gonna miss Featherman while you’re busy getting us killed.

Things immediately go bad, as they immediately peg us for Gekkoukan students and tell us to leave. Junpei wants to leave, and Yukari immediately says the wrong thing.

Like, how do you not have the situational awareness to know that that’s the worst possible thing you could have said? Thank goodness Shinji is around to save our asses.

Though, Yukari still doesn’t want to leave without information. Shinji tells her that the three girls spent their time bragging about bullying Fuuka Yamagishi, who has been out of school for almost a week at this point. Which means our next step, after getting home safe, is to ask her teachers what happened to her.

...Junpei has a point, Yukari. My god. You can’t yell at Junpei for running off on the monorail and then just charge into a sketchy area with no weapons or plan. Ugh. Over the weekend, I need a break. I found a wild Ken hanging out at the shrine on Sunday with Yukari and Junpei. Apparently they know him. But I am spending the day playing more of my MMO.

School on Monday is great, though, because people are finally grasping that their actions have consequences!

Fuuka is trapped in Tartarus because of her idiot “friends”. And her teacher has been covering it up.

She's gonna execute you~~

It’s been ten days since Fuuka vanished. Normally, spending that long in Tartarus, someone would definitely be dead. But since Tartarus only exists in the Dark Hour, Fuuka’s only been gone ten hours, from her perspective. So we have the chance to go in and get her back. Minato, Akihiko, and Junpei are going to wait in the gym for the hour to change, and hope that we end up near where Fuuka is.

Natsuki is going to stay in the dorm, where she’ll be safe. But she’s… apparently awake during the Dark Hour without exploding?

We probably should have brought her, because she’s on her way here. And letting the school shift around us ended up with all of us separated.

I really wish I wasn’t, babe.

Pharos says we’re going to need Fuuka’s power to deal with what’s ahead. And then heads off again, because god forbid he come with me to find the others. XDDD But eventually, Minato manages to track down both Akihiko and Junpei, and Fuuka.

She’s understandably freaked out. But she’s got navi powers that have kept her safe, and they’re stronger than Mitsuru’s. Akihiko’s not making a strong case for getting her on our side, though, just handing over an evoker with no explanation.

Together, we all manage to puzzle out that these big giant shadows are showing up on the full moons, but we don’t really have time for more than the actual revelation, because it’s full moon right now, and Mitsuru and Yukari are in trouble in the lobby.

Fuuka awakens her persona to protect both us and Natsuki, who wandered into Tartarus, and with it the ability to scan for weaknesses. Which is good, because the Emperor and Empress keep switching affinities. Plus, Lucia is cool. ^_^

Anyway, Natsuki isn’t going to remember any of this, fortunately, and Fuuka is safe. So we can go back to our usual days at school.

...I… hm. Well, it didn’t kill me, and I got a point of courage, but it didn’t seem to do anything else. So. Okay. X’D

The history teacher blitzed past two more periods of history in his quest to reach the Sengoku period so he can talk about samurai. Yuko’s got past beef with a girl who I think has Makoto’s voice actress. Apparently they dated the same guy in middle school, and Yuko got blamed even though it was the guy who was two-timing them.

Apparently I just have a face that says, “Tell me your deepest secrets.” This is like the fourth person.

All of my friends text like freaks. Except Akihiko.

I was having a half-decent time with the Gourmet King. Kind of. But then he had to get all weird on me, because he was jealous that some girl asking him who I was instead of asking him out. This guy, like everyone else, has problems. And part of it is that he’s covering up his problems with food.

And, uh, whatever this is.

Pharos came back a lot sooner this time!

I’ve wanted to be your friend this whole time, idjit. Social link, goooooo~

Man, you didn’t even have a name until right now. You poor thing.

Off to see the Gourmet King again the next day because he’s the only link ready to rank up, and that guy is back again to complain at him. Apparently GK took money from an elementary schooler that was supposed to go towards cram school and the guy wants it back. GK volunteered me as his bodyguard, and is being weird again.

...is he SERIOUSLY in a cult??? Do we need a cult on top of everything else?

Ikutsuki calls us up for a meeting, and he has new gear for us! This must be a new scene, because we’re finally getting the new uniforms from the trailer! We’re all fancy now, and apparently the shoulder guards unlock a new skill called “theurgy”. Which is our individual special attacks! We took a special trip into Tartarus for a scripted thing to try them out, and I only got to see Yukari’s, but it was super-cool. She did the archery pose like Feather Pink. ^_^

And we all got to do the badass walk into Tartarus in our new gear.

Lastly, at the end of this long marathon play session……

Elizabeth is still the best of my friends.

Sky's Rambles

(AKA: I'm sorry to whoever actually reads this because IDK if you'll be able to make sense of my ADHD and Autism brain clashing)

Can Lyney get a rerun already? I wanna get his weapon and C6 Lynette. Like, I'm TWO CONS OFF

That being said, the upcoming banners are 90% useless too me. I have c6 every 4 star and have both 5 stars. I might go for Kazuha's weapon but like, I don't use him enough to justify that. I don't use him at all really. I prefer Venti for CC bc he has tighter CC and longer stunlock. I think the most I use Kazuha is...my Lyney team. Tbh. I don't even think I use him much there either. I have a C6 Layla and she buffs normal and charged attacks + applies cryo and shields. I only use Kazuha if Layla is taken for another team (which is a lot...Layla is the only shielder I use really since I don't have Zhongli yet. He's the only archon I have yet to get bc I got Raiden while pulling for Cheveruse.

Tbh, I'm glad the upcoming banners are worthless to me bc I have a guarantee for Arleccino (thank you Itto for breaking my win streak. I'll 100% get you next time.)

Also, the starters are in the Chronicled Wish banner and its a higher chance of getting them bc its a smaller 4 star pool. But the thing is, I want Amber. I fucking love Amber and if they dont give her a skin soon I will riot. But like I'm only getting Lisa. I have a c4 Lisa now. I love Lisa. She's so fucking pretty and she's my second strongest starter (Kaeya...isn't built. Amber's my strongest and my only starter to hit 50k as of rn.) But like-

My starter luck is good in the worst way. I got c1 amber forever ago, bought c2 from the shop after Neuvie's banner, got c2 Lisa from singles i got FROM ASCENDING LISA and took way too long to get a c1 Kaeya.

Lynette is so pretty. Like, I have a nuzlock account and she's one of the characters on it and I'm just like

Every time because she's so pretty.

I'm not one to do this much, but Arleccino's idle leaks marked her the first Genshin character to get a "mommy" out of me. Then as a meme to my gf cause she was the one showing me: "Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. -deep as I can manage voice- Father."

We fucking died.

Probably gonna make a post about my teams I have set up one of these days.

If they run arleccino with a wanderer rerun im going to simultaneously die and ascend because Im a wanderer main, but i want arleccino, but that will also mean theres a chance to get that damned bell at r2 while pulling for arleccino's weapon.

I have, 100%, called wanderer's bell Titty Remembrance bc i couldn't remember how to spell Tuttulyas whatever and I gave up.

My favorite no resin things to do with friends:

Bootleg windtrace: hide and seek but we have to chase each other and its fucking terrifying half the time

Randomizer: i spin a boss wheel i spin a character wheel. Assign characters and try to beat the boss with said characters. Reroll if the boss is immune only if the character is catalyst. Cue confused and terrified screaming for bosses that you don't know the mechanics of. It's more fun when using someone's world who has all bosses open. (Thats the only reason I soloed lvl 90 Raiden with a lvl 40 Dori and a lvl 60 Candace.)

I'll add to this later with reposts.

[icharchivist]

Nectar event rerun last month, Old Bond rerun coming up next month, I'm very sure that the anni event this year is gonna be a sequel to Old Bond at this point. The fact Lu Woh is coming out soon is also probably going to set up what's coming up since he's the only dragon who's serious about what's happening. Though... honestly, I have 0 clue what would even happen in a Six Dragons anni event lmao

That'd make sense yeah

tbh Old Bonds itself really felt like an anni event (esp with how much it focused on Vyrn and the lore linked to the dragons) that it makes sense eventually a continuation of that makes for an anni event.

Personally i'd bet on Orologia making his official appearance and i suppose his appearance would mean trouble. (like, the fact he's clearly linked to time in general for instance could mean more timeline stuff)

And well, reveals about Nectar's past are probably coming considering both his event and Old Bonds are reruning.

idk if it's anything to weight in but in Shalem's FE, she mentions that there used to be a 7th element (on top of the 4 terra elements + light/dark). She doesn't elaborate on it at all except that it got lost with time, and it got lost AFTER she was locked away (she is shocked the element is no longer here and that she wonders about the balance of the world now that it disappeared), and it's been confusing me as fuck ever since.

The dragons are supposed to be the origins of the known 6 elements aren't they? so the question is, if they're the origin of them, there should be a 7th one.

And that's where the question arise: is it Lindwund, with his null elements? seems rather weird to me but why not? Is it Orologia? Time itself perhaps? Or is it Nectar, the one who disconnected so far from his nature he forgot who he is?

Honestly out of the three i'd expect Nectar more if only for the difference in the way the dragons talk about Orologia (who's a mysterious figure but one they're at least apparently comfortable enough knowing he's lurking around), and the way they're talking about Nectar (with Ewiyar's open hostility toward him or how the dragons seem uneasy around him). Lindwund felt more like a guardian of the dragons themselves to me so idk if he can apply as the 7th secret element yaknow?

And it will probably bring more Blue Hair's lore as a sign of power as well.

And Lu Woh is indeed the only one serious about the future in general so him finally getting his Grand (though, a few months before anni) seems to prepare that serious things are going to hit the fan and Lu Woh is going to be the one organizing the reaction to it.

There's also the fact i think we need to come to term with the fact Ewiyar will likely get a Grand one day (just please keep her a cat please keep her a cat please ke-) and it's possible the anni event might be exactly what will set it in motion.

so personally while i don't have a strong idea of what the plot will be per se, if we focus on dragons in a way that really do change the statusquo in some way i'd say:

-Orologia will either come and/or provoke the events that we will have to deal with -Lu Woh will be the one organizing the response on the ship -Ewiyar will have to get serious and reveals herself to the crew -We might learn more about Nectar -We might get more Blue Hair Lore. -We hopefully elaborate on what Shalem meant by a 7th lost element and/or the dragon linked to it.

But honestly at this point i don't want to speculate a lot more (and i'm scared of running into the anni curse of "setting up expectations so high gbf can never hope to fill them" lmao), but yeah, if it's dragon this is what i'd expect.

Though if it is dragon i wonder what will be the anni gift? free draconic weapons/mats to uncap it/gold brick for those who already have it? considering last year focused on Opus i guess that'd make sense.

Well, wait and see i suppose o7

Howdy Vera!

So! Patch 1.2 for ZZZ is finally here! With it comes the continuation of the main plot…

But that also means Jane’s banner is over, and I lost the 50/50 to Rina. ＿|￣|○ il||li Mark my words I will get Jane and THEN get her to Mindscape 6! ٩(๑`^´๑)۶

Anyway, here’s a little update on general things:

1) I…used the guarantee I got from losing Navia’s rerun to acquire Kazuha! Hooray! Except: I'm planning to wish for Xilonen so that means I need to win the 50/50. I ain’t getting her signature btw that’s what the new craftable sword is for. (Need lots of Condessence Crystals.)

2) Over at Honkai Star Rail, I’m waiting for Lingsha so I may have another sustainer. After that it's Blade's LC, Jade, and then Firefly Eidolons! (I really REALLY want Jade. ◉_◉)

3) Then, the routine I holding myself to is...uhhh still holding. I'm still sketching to occupy myself while applying to practically everywhere. So... I'm expecting to nail one - a job before the end of the year.🤞🤞

4) Finally, I got plans to kickstart the multi-fandom part of my blog. I just have to finish this current Genshin writing project. I can't wait to see things gracefully executed after planning for several years.

That's all! Who knows when I'll drop by? Could be tomorrow, could be next week, or next month!

Ingat/Goodbye! And take care of yourself. May your internship continue to be smooth sailing! 🙏(Assuming it's not finished already).

♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

noraa!!! sorry i don’t go around here much. internships and school are taking much of my time now. intership is a year commitment and i’m graduating in the spring! here, i just publish fics once or twice a month and dip, and put fanart rbs on queue. 😭

just finished the 1.2 story lmaooo. burnice is sooo cute but i’m saving for lighter (his en va is one of my faves AND he’s hot, literally and figuratively). i currently have 98 pulls and haven’t lost a single 50/50 yet. afterwards i’m aiming for miyabi and harumasa! section 6 woo!

i won kinich early and managed to get his sig. as always, my luck in weapon banner is nonexistent, but we did it without paying. still building him as we go.

i have jade, so let me know if you want to borrow her so i can switch out my current supports. i’m currently waiting for sunday hehe. i finally have robin, but i lost 50/50 to clara ugh. saving feixiao for next time.

ingat! see you soon, whenever that is. 🫶🏼

Yes exactly!

This is why the TLJ's treatment of Luke infuriated me: it basically just made him rerun the exact same lesson he had already learned on DS2 and it is unclear why.

I actually love - in isolation - a lot of what Luke does in the TLJ. The articulation of how the Jedi were flawed and partially to blame for what happened. The danger of arrogantly thinking you can solve a problem with the swing of a sword. The risk of overly relying on your mystical insight. The absolute literal embodiment of using the Force for knowledge and defence, but never for attack.

I love all of that.

What I didn't like - and didn't understand - was the idea that Luke hadn't already learned that? Did Rian Johnson not watch ROTJ?

It means TLJ's treatment of Luke is this kind of bizarre plagiarism of his arc in ROTJ. That is, I guess, consistent with the rest of the sequel trilogy. Picking the bones of older, loved movies, dressing up in your parents cloths, recreating the look and sound and feel of a story that has already been told without really adding anything or even understanding what you are borrowing.

It also means that you have this bizarre dynamic where Luke has aged 50 years, gone from a bright and optimistic young man, to a bitter old hermit and yet hasn't changed at all. Instead of growing from ROTJ onwards he's basically regressed to ESB and then stayed there.

The greater irony is that TROS (which I will sometimes actually defend as the only sequel movie worth watching) once again undermines this growth and lesson. Turns out you do actually need to just swing sabers at baddies (so long as the saber is blocking lighting and not actually stabbing).

I maintain a more in character - and to my mind more enjoyable & interesting arc - would have been for Luke to sense the rising darkness in Ben and NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Be so confident in the power of love and acceptance that he maintains there is nothing to worry about. Anakin came back, Ben will be fine.

And be proven wrong because the difference is Anakin CHOSE to come back and Ben looked at the abyss and willing dove in. Because it wasn't Luke's love he needed or wanted. Nor Han's, nor Leia's.

It was Rey's. That, I think, is an interesting evolution of the core thesis that love can save the day (and ignite the stars). The love needs to flow both ways - love isn't a weapon that one person can deploy against evil. It only works when one party choose to maintain faith AND THE OTHER CHOOSES TO CHANGE.

It was never up to Luke (or Han/Leia/Rey) alone. It has to be both parties.

Or hell, just lean into the "Kylo just keeps doubling down". That would have been fascinating to see. Force Luke to be continuously confronted with the fact that his great lesson, his great insight, his great victory is totally non replicable. It isn't working! But I can't kill my nephew without losing who I am and becoming the evil I swore to destroy.

Instead of his assertion that this is now Rey's problem to solve coming from a place of bitterness it can come from a place of empathy and self awareness. Luke isn't the person to solve this problem. This is a new kind of evil, and it needs a new kind of good to face it.

Just as the Old Jedi couldn't solve the problem of Sidious, only Luke could. So Luke can't solve the problem of Kylo Renn, only Rey can.

Instead we get Ryan Johnson weirdly plagiarising and mansplaining ROTJ to us.

its actually so sickening the way luke was trained as an attack dog more than as a jedi. he has to seek out the gentler uses of the force on his own because obiwan and yoda wanted him ready to kill vader and werent really thinking too far past that part. its so fucked up cuz like . did they even expect him to live himself? or was killing vader the more important part. when did he learn about force healing? and how many lives were lost because he didnt know it sooner. crusty old men. fr.

hii! breaker here <3

i just watched the livestream and it was so cute, it felt like a girls night/sleepover idk it gave me that kinda vibes. i love it when sarah is the host, lumine supremacy fr

i’m not sure how to feel about this patch, i’m not that good at tgc and the whole main event is tgc centered so.. :( that one pink girl (charlotte i think??) is so so so cute jshskshsj<3 i’m glad we get to meet her in this patch even tho i miss scara already !! me when scara doesn’t appear in every single event >:( /hj

also. i don’t have any of the limited 5 stars but i don’t think i’m gonna pull cuz i’m f2p and i’m kinda saving for scara’s c4 (he’s c2 rn, when i got him i wasn’t planning on pulling his cons but since i liked him so much i kept wishing on his banner, apparently he liked me too since he just kept coming [hehe coming] and now i want his c4)

kirara does look pretty cute though so maybe if i pull i’ll pull on her banner?? probably yae’s over yoimiya’s cuz i’m really into dendro reactions as of late (since i got nahida and nilou) and electro has more dendro reactions than pyro. also yoimiya has basically the same kit as scara who is my main so i might get bored of her and i don’t want that :((

today’s livestream kinda caught me by surprise cuz i was looking forward to it since the day the main event ended (genshin became kinda boring after that) but then life happened and i ended up at the hospital and then got back home and then i saw the livestream notif and i was like “oh! right! how could i forget :0”

i wrote so much bahajahab sorryy

hope you’re doing okay !!

yours

breaker anon~<3

It's okay !! Don't apologize for writing long :) In return you get a long ass response though so bear with me,,,,

I didn't watch the livestream since uugghh I'm always pretty much somehow busy or just not motivated to watch it all hahah. Although I am thinking of watching the vod or sumn. But oh !! I LOVE when lumine is there <3 Lumine supremacy all the way. I saw someone say that the livestream felt awkward, like they didn't plan it out so idk what to think, yet I'll trust your word on the sleepover vibe :) I can imagine.

I can agree on the tcg though. . . I went on Reddit as usual to see what's up in the livestreams and saw the illustration (?) including tcg stuff and I just sigh. I'm not good at tcg either and I don't really,,, find the time to actually play it 😭 Ig it is sort of fun but it gets pretty boring. But the pink girl? I saw a pic of a girl with pink hair, holding a camera, so I'm guessing that might be her then (it was in Chinese so dhdhd idk, but it was official media).

As for the 5 stars, ooh! That's alright. It sometimes sucks to be f2p, gotta be careful and think everything out. But that's nice!! I'll be praying for you when Scara reruns! You can pull for the other fellas when they have another rerun, of course.

I'm thinking of pulling just to get kirara bc she's so cute WAAAAA but it might suck bc,,, I've seen that one of her best weapons would be key of khaj nisut... and that makes me cry bc that means 3 cute girls will have to share that goddamn weapon GGRRGRGHTHT— but it would be on yae's side. Dendro does have more reactions and if I have to risk pulling a 5 star while going for Kirara, it's gonna be yae. Just because I have Tighnari and yae is very good with him <3 but then there's also kazuha,,, and I love kazuha very much so I can't figure if I should pull for his cons or possibly get a new wanted 5 star + new 4 star.

..BUT ARE YOU ALRIGHT??? You were in the hospital? I won't ask what happened just bc if one doesn't want to talk about that, it's alright, but I do hope you're okay. And sometimes it is easy to forget certain things.. such as a livestream haha.

[natsukitakama]

Yes I do know about it, I remember that you made a post about you getting yun jin which I also got her on January I think?? when it’s me wanted to get someone else lol (wanted to get alhaitham since I want a strong character and I think he’s strong) but she rlly isn’t this bad when I try her out and I use her for the shield but now I’m with xiangling along with Barbara. They’re the replacement of Lisa and amber while I’m still with Lumine and kaeya

Kaeya may be my second main but I don’t see him this way I just enjoy playing him and I also think he’s easy to play (since playing amber and Lisa is hard for me)

For five star ? I don’t know how to answer that since I don’t know if you meant the character or something else but I’ll just say that I was saving primogem for scaramouche, hoping to get him since on December I try to get but I got faruzan instead which I course hate it 😫 one it’s because I don’t care about her and second because I don’t like playing character with bow unless if it’s necessary then I’ll do it but I’m with amber so I don’t want other character with bow

I mean yea I don’t blame people for liking scaramouche that way, he’s really cute >///< and one of his voiceline did actually made me blushes ;w; and he’s rlly a tease 😭

Oh and just so you know I still love Floch but I’m sad there isn’t new fanfic of him :’) so I end up reading scaramouche x reader since I’m curious but I would request about him someday and it’ll be when I Catch up on the main story chapter

Yun jin is actually a good character especially if you have a character who need speed bonus such as Ayato she is very good as a support (not playing her currently but i intend to build her)

Kaeya is quite good character easy to build to pair with and such a pleasure to my eyes lmao I was talking about your five star character since I am not sure if you ever tried pulling on weapon banner ! So you’re saving for scaramouche ? He is a good character apparently he’ll have a rerun on 3.8 so it’s close ! Keep going haha

Bow character are very useful so I suggest you to at least have one to play for domain / exploration you might need one but I get it I used to don’t like them too and now I have a couple of them lol

Scaramouche is not only quite attractive but a well-written character his past made me cry so much man

Still in love with Floch I see 😏 I haven’t forgot about your request I’m finishing my last kisaki’s one then I’ll focus on yours so sorry for the delay it took me so long to have the will to write

Genshin fandom here have plenty of good writers I’ve read a couple of good one !
