my messy varesa rendition... smiles

speaking of varesa, for my genshin fans out there I wanna direct your attention to this thread analysing her design!

I feel like quite a few people in the genshin fandom lack a more in depth understanding on certain character's designs and I came across this a few days ago so considering the hate for her is kinda a lot I wanted to try and bring more attention to this! hoping this reaches people because a lot of people brush certain things off as hoyo just being insensitive (not that I support hoyo, just because they do their research doesn't automatically mean they're an absolutely great company)

“Are ppl not attracted to grown women anymore why does Varesa act 12???”

Apparently adults aren’t allowed to be cutesy nor have cutesy, ditsy, and whimsical personalities/mansrisms in general and that type of stuff is only reserved for little kids…/sar

Reminder to Genshin fans that Varesa is not, in fact, the first time Genshin has gone out of their way to make a playable woman use their butt to kill people.

The first time was with Ganyu. One of the only times her being an Archon War veteran has ever been mentioned is a part of her character stories retelling how she choked a monster to death with her butt when it tried to eat her because she was fatter at the time, and she somehow found that experience embarrassing because she was fat instead of... you know... traumatizing... because she almost got eaten alive?

The only difference here is that Ganyu was made to lose weight so that she could be the same size as other playable women, and the point of her being fat was to shame fat women, while Varesa is currently """fat""" (not potentially underweight like the other short women + with huge boobs), and the point of her being fat is to sexualize fat women and stack fat stereotypes onto her.

Instead of finishing my mizuki redraw piece I instead go onto another and I decided to redesign varesa I leaned mostly into her lucha design but had some hints of Zulu inspo idk if that translated well tho (p.s. current wip of my mizuki piece)

Varesa and Genshin Impact's Identity Crisis

I'd heard things about Varesa's animations, but now that I've seen the leaks myself, it's even more ridiculous than I could have imagined.

Look, I have a pretty high tolerance for this kind of thing. My attitude towards sex and sexuality is more liberal than most. I think censorship is bullshit and I hate how much Puritanism is ingrained in our culture, especially American culture. But even I think HoYo might have gone too far with this one.

I say that somewhat jokingly, because I still like Varesa a lot in spite of what I've seen. It's just that I'm finally starting to feel the complete tonal whiplash of Genshin Impact over the past year. How did we go from characters like Navia, Furina, Arlecchino, and Chiori to... a girl in a crop top and miniskirt clumsily running about, smashing enemies with her ass?

I'd just like to point out as well that this is what Iansan meant when she said the situation at the Collective of Plenty was under control during the Abyss invasion... dear god.

The most charitable way you could interpret Varesa is as a "crouching moron, hidden badass" type of character; someone who deliberately acts stupid and clumsy but is actually really strong. That's not all bad. But previous characters were mostly cool and badass with silly/cute quirks here and there, or they had really interesting/compelling stories that got you to empathize with them and like them even more. Even Mualani is a really cool person in spite of how goofy she can be. She's a combat veteran and an "older sister" to a lot of people, with a bit of a mischievous streak.

Varesa on the other hand is 100% meme. There's always a chance that could change with the Tribal Chronicle or if she has a role in an upcoming Archon Quest. But in this case I'm not at all confident that will happen. She seems very much like a one-off gag character designed to sell exclusively on sex appeal. She's not just gooner bait, she's straight up coomer bait.

Natlan now very much seems like it's being used as an excuse for HoYoverse to try out a bunch of experimental character designs that didn't fit anywhere else, which I don't explicitly hate, but it's clear that they're pushing the boat out as far as they can with Varesa here. It kinda feels like they just wanted to design characters that don't fit in with Genshin's usual style, but still with Genshin gameplay.

As long as this kind of thing stays in Natlan, it's probably fine in the long run. Snezhnaya needs to be a return to form, though, because Genshin sometimes doesn't feel like Genshin anymore when it comes to Natlan. Especially since we've been building up to it for nearly five years. If the conclusion to the Fatui arc and the reveal of why the Tsaritsa needs the seven Gnoses is anything short of spectacular, this game is cooked.

I'm still probably going for Varesa, because honestly she looks fun as hell and like I said, I have a high tolerance for this kind of thing. I still think it's super funny how blatant they were with this character, it just feels like she belongs in a Senran Kagura game or some shit. And to HoYo's credit, they did make her considerably bigger than other characters of her model type, although her hip-to-waist ratio is still outrageous.

I hate her attack animations.

Since she uses her horns to attack mobs, her face is mostly scarred. Her name is likely from Zulu origin so why is she so fucking white? I gave her vitiligo bc it's my redesign. It's not visible but she's pretty bottom heavy with her thighs being somewhat muscular. Yes you can be fat and muscular.

Anyway, I dislike Natlan (World quests were fun tho). Get me out of it. Dain come back and give me Khaenriah lore

[frothzip]

a little censored buuuuuuuut you know where to find the original

[leviathansbiggestkinnie]

my biggest issue with Varesa is how she eats a burger while being a cow 💔💔💔

[8-xnny]

AHHH I LOVE THE VARESSA THEME 😭😭😭

TYTYTY she’s so stinking cute i love her SO much

[strawberryraviegutz]

I have something to say about the ppl mad about Varesa being fanservice. It’s fine to obviously be mad at the racism and fatphobia from hoyoverse but fanservice isn’t inherently bad(and it’s not always sexual either). It’s bad when it’s of children and or when ppl think that EVERY SINGLE female character in media needs to be fanservice catered to men.

There’s nothing wrong with fanservicy designs that both men and women can find attractive and I don’t think we need to abolish all fanservice in media(unless it involves kids obviously)but at the same time not every game needs to have fanservice. Plus since day one genshin has always been intended to be a game loaded with fanservice.
