At this point, might as well.

Nora: Here you go, Jaune~!

Jaune: What is it?

Nora: It's a coin! Ren gave some to me a while ago. Said something about how it'll be a magnet for lien. I already have one, so you can have this one. Who knows? Maybe it'll bring us both luck and we'll both become gazillionaires~!

Jaune: ...Hey, Nora?

Nora: Yeah?

Jaune: Open up your hand.

Nora: Why?

Jaune: Don't worry. It's nothing bad.

Nora: (Opens hand)

One thing that I find absolutely fascinating about Genshin and it's story is it's theme of questioning godhood and absolute authority. This doesn't sound all that interesting, until you remember that Genshin is a chinese game, meaning that the people who created Genshin were under the "control" (or at least eye) of the ccp, a government with absolute authority. Remember the strict regulations and the censorship that China rolled out for their media, Genshin Impact breaks and blatently ignores SO many of these rules that there's an 18 minute video listing out every regulation they break and rule they ignore.

Like the sumeru story quest literally is all about overthrowing the authoritarion leadership and in the Inazuma quest you literally go to war with it's god in a civil war with the vision hunt decree

It's 6pm and I was making a honey I'm home AMV when this struck me, I could go full matpat on this but honestly I want to get back to my editing, I'm only posting this so that I don't lose the thought, so just know that this is the funniest fucking picture I've ever seen in my entire life

And what's even funnier about it is the way hoyo COMPLETELY disregarded it, because recently (and by recently I mean like 6 months ago) Lyney came out, he's wearing a corset, when his trailer came out the Korean fanbase got pissed because he was to Twinkie, his main colors are black and pink (or at least a pinky red).

I mean, LOOK AT HIM, Lyney's design is the biggest fuck you to censorship I've ever seen

(also if you're confused on how they're getting away with breaking all of these rules, hoyo is a top tax payer so they let it slide <3)

In response to this post about War of Faith

@isilaie said

Finally someone expresses what I was thinking 🙄 I've got a huge problem with propaganda (from any side) and despite the superb directing and acting this one is so blatant that in another context (or country) it almost could be considered as parody. I love Yibo to pieces but ...I think it started with "faith makes great" that there is a kind of red thread (pun intended) in his choice of roles. His success proves him right of course but ...😔🤷‍♀️

I really wanted to address your comment @isilaie because I think it's important we are all aware of the things that are going on "under the surface" so to speak when we engage with this kind of content. Again, speaking as someone who used to live under a totalitarian communist regime, I'm very aware that whatever "choices" and "freedoms" that people like Yibo enjoy are completely illusory. Especially if we assume from the preponderance of evidence that he's queer - and therefore have to assume that whatever lifestyle he may enjoy is sanctioned by the government - then these choices are even more impacted. We've all seen how quickly c-ent can make someone's career disappear (i.e. Zhang Zhehan) and how quickly the CCP can make PEOPLE disappear (i.e. Fan Bingbing) for not toeing the party line or not sending the right message. The more high profile you are (like Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo), the more scrutinized you are for all your "choices." Plus, we also know that these days you can't get anything past the sensors w/o a healthy dose of Patriotism, and at the end of the day, the project that Yibo might sign up for can end up being something else entirely by the time it hits the screen.

So, the only thing I'm going to judge my beloved son on is making career moves that allow him to grow and develop as an artist - and War of Faith definitely gave him the opportunity to once again stretch his acting chops. And I think his success is due to his radiant talent that turns anything he touches into gold, and not so much due to his "patriotic" project choices, but shit, I'm only slightly biased because I gave birth to him LMAO.

As for War of Faith laying it on so thick that it's almost a parody - you're correct - and I actually said to a friend last night that it's ironic that as I watch the show, the Big Communist Heroes actually come off as fanatical terrorists to me. Hmmmm. Interesting.

(On a funnier note, people have pointed out how incredibly GAY this Comrade Drama is for such blatant propaganda, and that perhaps you needed a heavy dose of one to slip in the other. If that's the case even the tiniest bit, then kudos to Yibo for making another secret BL drama right in front of everyone's salad.)

Like I don't have tiktok for a variety of reasons but to say "don't have CHINESE Spyware on your phone" as if that's like a legit concern when the American government spies on you ALL THE TIME (and is more of a direct threat to you as an American citizen and even abroad) like what are they gonna do with your data in China that they aren't doing 10x as much in the US with the patriot act. Get a VPN all that jazz if you're scared but the US is more of an immediate threat than the ccp, even if it were true.

I don't know how to explain it but Touyuki's and Olrufrey's relationship are so similar from their personalities and how they were both childhood friends.

Oh God how much I love them both 😔🙏
