#but Kafka my love

[artheresy]

I’ve been playing Honkai Star Rail and looking at leaks and I’m gonna be honest

I’m gonna be honest, Blade and Dan Heng and Dan Feng and Yingxing and their whatever have me feeling the most insane I’ve felt in months, like I’m feeling crazy thinking about them and all the theories people have about them. The dragon heart theory? I literally feel compelled to self destruct every time I see or hear it, anytime the two of them are talked about in relation to each other, I get the urge to scream

Their lore is… it’s so good, it’s immaculate, It’s my favorite out of HSR so far easily

Blade’s lore also like before he came to the Luofu is so painful too… like Hoyoverse decided that for right now he’s gonna be both a metaphorical (Hoyo making his whole life from childhood tragic as hell) and literal (for Jingliu) punching bag in this game.

I don't just miss you at 3 a.m, when I'm bored and alone, but I miss you even in the loudest places, surrounded by my favorite people.

Quote by Franz Kafka

The obsession gets to a point where I'm reminded of him in all poetry I read and all the music I listen to. Do you think he could finally rest after all the mages were freed? I don't. I think he's doomed forever.

The thing I love most about Soshiro's response in this scene is how he immediately, and without hesitation, took Kafka seriously.

Kafka - the 1% output power, comic relief guy who wasn't even an official officer yet - said he wanted to become Mina's vice-captain and Soshiro never once underestimated him. He never laughed or told him he couldn't do it. He took his word at face value and accepted him as a proper threat to his position at Mina's side.

And why wouldn't he? He's watched Kafka study and train his ass off for the most minuscule of progress and never once consider giving up, despite how far ahead in strength the others on his team had already become. Of all people, Soshiro knows what it's like to naturally lack in strength, to work his hardest without catching up to the person he's chasing after. He knows what it's like to have people tell him to give up, to view him as an objective failure, so he wouldn't dare pass that kind of judgement on Kafka. He knows what hard work can accomplish because he's been through the trenches himself.

(In some ways, he's still going through it despite his high rank. He's always showing off, always going out of his way to showcase his strength to others. To me, he reads as someone who will always feel the need to prove himself, even when no one asks him to.)

And I think it's a true testament to his character that he not only took Kafka seriously, but then went so far as to nurture Kafka's abilities. Help him grow. Ensure that he could become someone with the capabilities to fight at Mina's side.

So yeah, not to ramble or anything, but I just rewatched this episode and I was caught up in my feels for this man and his wack ass bowl cut. Again.
