leo i have no clue what your recent post means please explain to me <3

😭 looking back you're right that post is INCOMPREHENSIBLE. im going to give u a rly long rambly explaination bc this is my current obsession and also u are a treasured mutual 🥺

basically ive been playing genshin, which is a gacha fantasy rpg- basically like botw if you gambled to be able to play as like sidon and mipha as well as link. you can have four characters on your team, which are the characters you can easily switch between while playing. theres a pretty complex storyline in the game, and almost all the main characters are playable (if you get lucky in the gacha mechanic and 'roll' them). if you have a phone/computer that can handle the game id totally suggest you play it! it's rly fun (it has a pretty minimal amount of cash grabbing for being a free game, too). i have two accounts in the game for the america server (my main/first account) and the asia server (so that i can eventually play with nitya. once i finish this one quest) and my progress doesn't carry between them :(

so one of the first characters i rolled on my asia account is chongyun, who is a SWEETHEART. he's a teenager exorcist who can't ever meet spirits bc he's so good at exorcisms that the ghosts leave before he can see them. also he's a cryo (ice) vision. ive been maining him, so he's the character i play as the most often. bc i love him. 🥺🥺 (i don't play as him on my main bc on my main i have beidou who is the BUFFEST pirate and also a lesbian and i love her. a lot.) in canon chongyun has a boyfriend best friend named xingqiu, who's a trust fund baby adrenaline junky who writes martial arts penny dreadfuls and is a hydro (water) vision. in canon xingqiu drags chongyun to haunted houses since chongyun wants to see a ghost and xingqiu wants to have an adventure and they they go get dinner together after and xingqiu teases chongyun abt not being able to eat spicy food. they work well together with their elements, since if you have both you can freeze ppl. also like. they're boyfriends i wanted them to be reunited on my team 🥺

this is they!!! anyway to roll a character you need a certain number of wishes (you need ten to be guaranteed a new character) and i only had 2 :/ the new rate up banner (which is basically.. a different gambling thing where you're more likely to get certain characters, it ends up being a 18% ish chance for each of the rate up characters) featured xingqiu and i was. very excited to roll him since i didn't think i would! but now i have him and his weird water sword attacks. what a lad.

the rest of the post was about how every 20 levels you need a certain type of plant to level up different characters and xingqiu needs silk flowers, which r from a region of the map (liyue) that i haven't explored yet so it's going to suck having to find the stuff to level him up more. also once u get to a higher level each different element has bosses you have to best to level your characters and hydro characters need the oceanid, which is generally considered the hardest boss by far :( i tried to fight it once on my main for fun and it did not go well
