Thinking more about Ruan Mei and I am trying to grapple with the fact that on some level in a way I can’t describe, I feel super strongly connected to her and in a way either understand or even relate to her
But like, I can’t fully explain it properly
Something about even with her strong knowledge, she is still struggles to properly feel and properly express and understand certain emotions and it’s one among the many factors of why she ends up being almost like a hermit (which OOF I had joked to myself she’s just like me fr when they called her a hermit but after the quest its hitting a bit too hard)
Even in her mannerisms, I can’t help but relate and it’s also part of why I think I ended up liking her a lot. I’ve seen a lot of people consider her deeply like evil or something or like she’s very hateful and malicious when she truly never came across that way to me and I just.. can’t see that. I can see the mad scientist in her, there’s no denying that. But she comes across as extremely morally ambiguous and perhaps a bit obsessive regarding her research rather than actively cruel or mean and I firmly believe she’s intended to come across that way looking at her dialogue and the way she behaves. I just can’t see her as evil or anything, probably because there are parts of her behaviors I know well
And again a huge part of my love for her comes from how her story and character is tied to the Aeons, and I fucking adore Aeon lore, I am praying for more like PLEASSEE
Even this didn’t get out all my feelings or fully explain what I think about her but y’know maybe later I’ll find the words I need
#i want to add#every since i saw the thing about the nous like ‘genius individuals with autistic tendencies’ I have been firmly like RUAN MEEII#As someone who autistic#Ruan Mei reads as an autistic character to me#and that line about erudition from wherever it was from (the font and format are just like some of the other things) is an acknowledgment#autism in hsr and it leaves me like HMMM RUAN MEI IS#She is I feel it in my bones her relationship with her emotions is very… yes#man why do I have a thing for characters with obsessive tendencies that I read as being autistic#(ruan mei and yingxing)#my beloved ilysm get behind me#youre valid if you dislike her I dont think its incorrect to dislike her#i just dont like seeing people twist her into something she isnt to either justify disliking her or claiming its these false traits of hers#that they dislike yknow? bc thats not her thats not?? shes not out here being evil and cruel in the extremely harmful sense#i dunno i really like her#i need people to understand my faint insanity about her#ruan mei#hsr#honkai star rail
