(Is this called post hijacking?) This is why Elysia wont have any big part in my Snippets AU and, at most, will only show up in two chapters; when Mobius went to the ER, and when Hua/HoS went in there. And she will basically just say "hi" or have a small chat.
Because the rest of her does not matter. The only important part of Elysia's character is that she did something to make the CE Herrschers retain some humanity (I think? That's what Im going with), and thats it. Because everything else is, as you said, "she's so flawless!"
How she died isnt important. Understanding her doesnt mean anything. Because they both lead to "Elysia is a perfect human" (which is about as inhuman as you can get. Writers didnt think that through). The only important part is that she's the 13th Herrscher of Humanity and she did something to have the CE Herrschers have some humanity too. (I think)
Is it okay to ask why you don't like Elysia? Personally I don't really like her because she's a walking massive retcon who also undermined the efforts Herrscher of Reason made to rebel from the Will of Honkai
I love being asked why I hate elysia, it's like people falling for my infodump trap
so basically, first off her overfriendliness and ignorance of one's boundaries. that damn horn touching scene sickens me to no end, and even more the dialogue after that with raven joking out it while mei wants her not to talk about it. and elysia having the greatest fucking idea of announcing her success in crossing mei's boundaries via megaphone? dude, what the fuck. like, keep it to yourself. the only reason mei didn't kill her that time was because writers didn't want her to
second off it's her constant idealisation. wherever you see or go she's described as "flawless". flawlessness seems to be her only trait. okay, we got it first time, she's pink jesus so fucking flawless and beautiful and everyone loves her and trees are fucking singing for her like for a damn disney princess. y'know, in my discord server we had a talk about the whole lesbian jesus thing and we came to conclusion that elysia is what christians imagine jesus to be like and kallen is what jesus was more like. failed writing very much
speaking of writing, she seems to drain good writing out of everyone she's around. flamechasers have varying opinions about her, from love to hatred and distrust, but when she was about to sacrifice herself everyone was suddenly like "omg elysia so cool", even kalpas and mobius who are the most known for not liking her. I don't even fucking know what happened to mei, beside good writing she seems to have drained her off brain cells. what does herrscher of origin even do, what are its powers? if they don't plan on elaborating on that part before moving on to apho, I... it's just such lazy writing that tries to pass as some pseudo-wisdom. the answers mei came after to elysian realm? what answers, there's that pink elf and that's all that matters
another reason her writing is questionable is like,, she's said to have done something before current era started that was supposed to make CE herrschers docile, no? seems like mihoyo didn't think that one thoroughly because current era very much still had hostile herrschers. great retcon mihoyo, the plot has as many holes as roads in poland
