ok im loosing my mind at this theory? canon connection? from twitter

1.2 spoilers/theories / luocha companion quest mentions / leaks(?)

i was ALSO under the assumption that dan feng is dead and dan heng is just a Fucked Up On Purpose reincarnation of himself. but these TWO screenshots fuck it all up

(apparently this was data mined from the game and hasn't been deleted but im unsure if its 1.3 leaks for imbibitor lunae's companion mission or not)

and this is just a screenshot from Luocha's companion mission where March is talking about a novel that has a molting/de-aging story beat and said novel is a main focus throughout the mission

the clear use of "molting" is. super telling especially since Luocha is a follower of the abundance and has unclear motives on the Luofu that havent come to light yet compared to Dan Feng's gay gay homosexual gay immortality sin

and boy does hyv like to drop hints like this in the patches leading up A Big Reveal

this makes the lore EVEN MORE complicated than it already WAS trying to figure out whats going between these two(?) characters and if Dan Feng was actually just de-aged its honestly So Much More Tragic than just Dan Feng dying because Dan Heng IS Dan Feng. Blade ISN'T as delusional in thinking they're the same person, though Dan Heng isn't trying to gaslight gatekeep girlboss by pretending not to know Blade because he GENUINELY doesn't. Dan Feng isn't dead, Dan Feng just doesn't exist anymore in the capacity that his loved ones can remember . And it hurts SO much more.

This also explains why Jing Yuan was acting so fucking insensitive to Dan Heng in the 1.2 trailblaze mission. Jing Yuan is a long-life species and not a stranger to the death of people around him, he is familiar with the Vidyadhara reincarnation cycles & him repeatedly referring to Dan Heng as Dan Feng is unwarranted and not in character IF Dan Feng is actually dead. If Dan Feng was de-aged & grows into being Dan Heng that throws a huge fucking wrench in the already messy & convoluted Vidyadhara reincarnation. His friend did not die and move on to their next incarnation that is to be expected of Vidyadhara, Dan Feng NEVER died but his existence was so altered to the point that his death would have been kinder

bonus me trying to explain to my non-hsr friend this shit;

[spark-circuit]

My Trailblazer: nah bro you won't catch me going near the Masked Fools' Tavern. who KNOWS what kind of nefarious pranks and schemes are going on behind closed doors..... 🤨

Sampo, Sparkle, Giovanni, Aha secretly in human form, and some of the other Masked Fools:

OUGHH..... YEAH... ive always felt that dan feng would feel guilty for putting his next incarnation through That but feels some sort of affection towards him, proud of him for fighting for a new life. also dan feng feeling very at ease knowing that, even though that HE didnt get experience the freedom he craved but dan heng gets to and so does all of his future intercarnations...

while i think its important for dan heng to face his fear and anger so he can begin the healing process... ive always hoped there was like. the last whisper of dan feng's consciousness who apologizes that dan heng had to bear his sins and urges him move forward with whatever life he wishes to pursue. dan hengs perception of dan feng changed and feels emotionally ready to fully understand his past so he can finally heal. my hopeium dream for the short was dan heng dreaming more clearly about the events of the sedition and finally realizes who blade really was and what dan feng did to him which propels dan heng to finally understand his past with determination (paralleling to the nightmare teaser before the game came out, but wakes up with clarity rather than fear)

the short was so good visually tho i loved it so much.... the fact we got to see dan feng (somewhat, even if he was an ooc version created by dan heng) makes me so happy since now theres good enough reference of him that i can draw him properly now 😭

@begaydoalchemy (sorry I didn’t want to keep reblogging that post because it was getting long but) You know, a great thing about this is that the animation shows that the version of Dan Feng in Dan Heng’s head hates him, so like he’s gonna get to find out that the real Dan Feng would understand him more than he ever could’ve realized

[Someone knocked on the door. When Blythe opened, they saw Simon with his regular a little sly face.]

Hey, Blythe. Any problems?

🌌 @masked-genie

“Big brother! Ahaha, uh, you knowww just— Got drugged with truth serum and I’m feeling like shit because what if I accidentally say something that I want to keep secret and everyone starts—“

(They managed to slap themself before they could say more, blushing a bit now.)

“… Yeah. And you?”

OC-tober day 2 - New OC

Ugh, i did some digital adjustments to it, minimal stuff such as lighting correction and a leg that was too short xd yeah i'm still learning how to ink😅

Anyways, for day 2 i drew Lola. I'm a huge HSR fan and i wanted to make a fandom oc for once lol as lately all my ocs have been entirely original or deoncelerized (so again turned fully original.) She has a fully orginal story that i created using the pre-existing HSR in-universe logic and lore to worldbuild her own "planet", culture and other stuff like that. I'm still working on it as i'm very nitpicky but i do like the direction it's going.

Pls ignore that i forgot to draw her halo💀

[mynameis-a]

was there any evidence prior to 1.4 for sampo being one of the masked fools? or was that just a headcanon?

because i'm pretty sure that its canon now

spoilers under the cut

basically, a memory bubble appeared in the old weapon testing ground after i completed all of the hyperlink battles for aetherium wars.

when i interacted with it, i got the following conversation.

after the last line, there was an ellipsis (...) not indicated to be from sampo nor giovanni, before going back to where the player is. in typical memory bubble fashion, the screen was pure black except for the dialogue.

it disappeared after i interacted with it, but this was the location of it.

also, after interacting with it, you get an achievement called "confession of the mask"

i kinda assumed that he was one of the masked fools this entire time, believing the popular fandom consensus, so this doesn't surprise me all that much.

but i'm curious if there was any actual proof of this that i just didn't pick up on. (aside from that one cutscene towards the end of the belobog quest and the rating gun thing)

[humanvoicebox]

My tragic backstory is repeatedly choosing the plot twist character to obsess over. Oh look! a silly little guy introduced in the middle of the first adventure. They're not central to the story, but there is just something about them that's enough to keep you interested.

Fast forward like halfway through the story and they the key to every question you have.

[elegyofthemoon]

ok but do i want to actually sit and read through all the clockie animation stuff so i have better foundation for what i want to say? i guess

[aria0fgold]

You ever just see a character so loved by its creators that it shows through the character itself?

[angeltism]

"she's racist? good for her haha anyone who doesn't like her is overly sensitive how can they be okay with other villains but not her" I am going to put you in a saw trap

[meowdance]

It’d be so funny if he was a fool

WHAT AN ODD THING TO SAY. TO REFER TO HIMSELF DIRECTLY AS A CHARACTER. SPECIFICALLY A SUPPORTING CHARACTER. YKNOW THE ONLY OTHER PPL WHO DO THAT?

MASKED FOOLS.

DOCTOR TRUTH REASON I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE. 🪱

"LEGENDARY OUTWORLER CRAFTSMAN SEDUCES THE HIGH ELDER OF THE VIDYADHARA?!"

"BREAKING NEW THEORIES ON THE SEDUCTION OF IMBIBITOR LUNAE: DID THIS GENIUS CRAFTSMAN USE HIS OWN INVENTIONS TO HYPNOTIZE THE HIGH ELDER?"

I'm doing sidequests around Golden Hour and.

Look I can already guess the answer to this but just to emphasize it, why does the 'tender at an Elation-affiliated bar already know who I am? I checked, we have not met this person until now.

*Veritas has a day off. Unaware of the truth serum that Blythe drank, he decides to visit them. He enters their house, carrying an apple, something they liked since they were a child.*

Blythe? Hello. Are you free today? I was wondering if you would like to spend some time together.

@veritas-ratio-rp

(( for the event!! ))

(Blythe groaned internally, but they didn’t want to tell Veritas to get out. Honestly, he might be able to help. And he’s their dad.)

“Daaaad~! Ahaha, uh, I’m not really feeling well—“

(They slapped a hand over their mouth, not wanting to start saying the blunt truth and get him more worried than he should be. Damn this truth serum.)

“… I fucking hate this…”

[spades-suit]

Holy fuck she is INSUFFERABLE
