Before you interact; Only slightly suggestive things please! Herta and the mod may be adults, but the mod is somewhat uncomfortable with straight up smut and Herta appears to be a child!

She may be out of character a bit as the mod isn’t good at rping, and the mod might get some things wrong, but they hope you can understand! 

No gore, sh or anything related to suicide!

Herta uses She/it pronouns in the Mod’s headcanon and the mod uses they/he! 

Credits to @/cafekitsune for the divisors and credits to the HSR wiki for the information and images! :3

The mod might make an anon list, if we get specialized anons!!! But thank you for reading this, and the mod wishes you a good day!

Yo! I hope that you are good and i hope that you get feixiao! Can i request some Yandere Genius Society members, seperately plus Ratio with a Male reader who is smarter than them? However he declines their invation to join them as the reader is independent and doesn't really want any special attention of any sort, as he values a lot of their private time, making him a solitary individual to the point that is adnormal

Look at that! I personally whose willing to give me they’re luck for me to get feixiao. (Lmao)

Herta

Herta first finds you on one of her expeditions. She finds you in a dark cave surrounded by rare crystals thought to be long lost!

She immediately takes interest in you! Why’re you alone? What’re you doing in this secluded planet? And how fuckin dare you not give her these crystals!

So, she watches you and even helps around. You’ve gained her curiosity, and now it’s up to you to satisfy her curiosity. She watched as you morph these rare crystals into an endless energy supply with some long lost alchemy

She couldn’t believe it! Not even the people in the genius society could do this! Oh and congratulations, her curiosity had been satisfied, and had evolved into interest in you!

Hell even SHE couldn’t do this! But.. that’s only because she didn’t have these crystals! If she did, she’d have made thousands of these…! Well… she might’ve needed your help…she didn’t know anything about your ancient alchemy— but she’d still do it in a scientific way!

Herta would invite you to the genius society and even to her spaceship. You’d have much more resources available, helpers, and her— “No”

Your voice declined in the same, cold and monotone voice. The two letter word shot through herta’s puppet body and shattered it completely. No? What do you mean. NO?

“I don’t like being surrounded by others. They’re a bunch of annoyances. Accepting your invitation would bring that dread into my life, along with recognition throughout the cosmos. So no. I’ll decline your invitation”

She listened to you explain yourself. Apart of her found this reasoning idiotic. How could you possibly say no?!

You’d have better accesses to resources, assistants, live in a comfortable Spacestation with the perfect temperature, WHY WOULD YOU POSSIBLY DECLINE!!?

But apart of her felt… joyful. Why? You had just rejected her! She discarded that feeling at the moment and flicked away

“Fine! Do what you want! But IM taking some of these crystals!” “Sure” you said dismissively, not even facing her. She clicked her tongue and stomped away.

A whole month later and she hasn’t forgotten about you. You and that strange feeling of happiness she got when you rejected her.

She decided to go and visit you, wanting to strangely be around you. You don’t mind, Herta isn’t annoying and she’s a genius, so she can stay.

Herta keeps one of her puppets with you, talking and helping you out while trying to understand this feeling. Eventually she does find out that she had fallen for you, HARD.

She tries to reject it, but ever since that realization, she had been much MUCH happier. She also realized the reason why she felt happy when you rejected her invitation.

Because no one would know who you are! She can have you all to HERself! It was a euphoric feeling, knowing that no one would try to take you away from her OR make you think differently!

Slowly she begins to act like a lover, treating you to delicious treats from ruan mei, worrying about your health, all that jazz.

She also sends a more adult-figured puppet to you. She knew you weren’t attracted to her due to her puppet looking 60% of what she looked like as a child. So for now, you’ll make do with this adult puppet until the REAL her comes and takes you.

Veritas Ratio

Ratio has heard of rumors of a genius that declined an invitation from the genius society. That had gotten him curious.

So, he tracked you down. Finding you in a desolate planet, in a cave that… had long lost technology from eons ago!

You didn’t look back to face him, already knowing that someone was behind you. “What’re your intentions” you said which snapped dr ratio back into reality.

He began to explain himself in 2 short paragraphs, much to your liking. You shrug and let him stay, as he wasn’t annoying or stupid.

Ratio watches and lends a helping hand. He watches as you manage to make the ancient technology functional once more.

Weeks later and ratio has grown infatuated with you. Your intelligence, your competence, your appearance.

Ratio knows that this feeling is.. dangerous. So, he leaves. Having such feelings would do nothing for him, it’ll cloud his judgement.

But, months later and it becomes completely UNBEARABLE. He simply can’t get rid of you. EVERYTHING reminds him of you.

Whenever he’s teaching, he’d see you in the corner of the room. Taking a bath, he sees you in the same tub. Reading his book, he sees the letters morph into your name!

He eventually accept that these feelings. He accepts himself and you. So he goes back, bringing your back to his place. He promised you that he wouldn’t mention you to anyone, a plus for him, and you.

Ratio begins to slowly act like a lover. His every move would be more meticulous and planned but with you? He just can’t plan out his moves.

Until he eventually confesses to you. And you accept. Ratio in your eyes was the perfect partner. Not a dumbass, overbearing, and he didn’t shout your name out to the cosmos.

Ruan Mei

She finds you on a planet that’s supposed to be abandoned. She was curious to who you are and why you were on this ‘no man’s land’ of a planet.

She followed you like a lost puppy, and watched you make life! She was surprised at your prowess in biology, looking around to see your little creations.

She decided to stay, she needed to find out more about you. Your goals, your accomplishments. Oh and she’s attracted to you… guess that also plays a role in this.

She’d try to help you with creating life, but you declined, saying that her way was ‘inefficient’ which feed her curiosity.

She also began to feel something towards you. This new and alien feeling made her want to stay with you some more.

She stays with you and as you feed her curiosity and indirectly help her understand these feelings, she finds ways to reward you.

Ruan Mei begins to get desires. The desire to touch you, feel you, hold you. It’s strange. Why is she feeling these emotions? What ARE these emotions?

After a good few months, she offers you to come with her, as she wants to study you some more AND keep you close. But you… decline…?

“Not Interested” “Huh…why’s that..? A partner ship with someone so similar to—” “I get that. But, it’ll attract attention. TOO much attention. I don’t need that”

She still didn’t understand, it’s not like she was a people person either. But then you explained how simply being associated with you, a member of the genius society, would directly attract attention.

She saw the logic but she.. couldn’t accept it. No, she wanted you to BE with her… is this… possessiveness? No. No, she just wants to study you.

She continues to push you to accept, but you decline. Over, and over, and over. It annoyed her, just come with her! The risks were nonexistent where she was going!

Eventually she’d just tie you and drag you with her. She can’t let you go, your to valuable to be left in this desolate planet. Of course, you struggle and fight back. But it’s no use.

Weeks later you finally cave in and decide to go along with Ruan mei’s plans. But you make sure to keep yourself low key.

Ruan Mei will take longer than ratio and Herta to find out she’s in love with you. All she knows is that she wants you to stay with her and only her, and that she hates when other people even look at you.

i umm have nothing to say except you're just like me and thank you so much for liking my lazy lazy athena + telemachus art heheh also, what's your favorite hsr character and epic the musical character?

The herta has my heart. But also the trailblazer they're so silly I love them. And also Yanqing and Silver wolf- Kahdkahska can't choose!

Athena and Telemachus gotta be my favourites. But also our favourite trigger word creator pancake Mr Polites

[empress-ruby]

Can't believe herta pro max finally dropped

[exactlyspookykxala]

dare I say this patch is better than the entire penacony arc, for me at least. idk, it feels less dialogue-heavy than penacony. the characters are still using more words than they need to, but not to the point where i question if their throat is getting dry. except aglaea, I think 😭 but i think that part was intentional lmao. all in all, definitely left an impression, but a foreboding one.

[journey-to-the-attic]

Zhao and Lucifer wearing Ratio, and Aventurine clothing because Levi wants everyone to cosplayed, Lucifer didn't want to but Zhao covince him. The Avatar of Pride reaction to Zhao wearing Aventurine clothing:

And little IK wearing Trailblazer outfit, everyone is cooing until she hits them with the bat.

i'm obsessed with the image of tiny baseball bat-wielding raccoon ik wait........

this raises the question: who is everyone else playing? i could see levi as dhil (though whether he'd have the courage to do so is another matter)....

asmo in himeko's dress would serve severely and i want to put belphie in herta's cute dress with her big hammer so bad

@iniziare sent: "Ah… I see. An interesting perspective, Lady Herta. And here I thought pragmatism was your greatest virtue— yet I find myself wondering if I should be concerned instead." A pause claimed him then, ever brief, but undeniably deliberate. "Though, I suppose even the most brilliant of minds are not immune to dangerous fascinations." (Jing Yuan— with a bit of a light, light tone at the end�� to... /drum rolls, Herta, anyone?)

       A part of her had initially wanted to send one of her puppets to the Xianzhou Luofu. Sure, there might be some wear and tear on the poor thing as a result of the journey, but it would be nothing she couldn't fix afterwards — and, if not, she had plenty of others spare to replace it. Really, she might have owned her own space station and been the saviour of her own world all those Amber Eras ago, but her purpose was not to sit in on so-called important meetings that bored her to tears. That was Asta's remit and, when it wasn't in Asta's remit, it was nothing that she couldn't handle remotely. But no, apparently the best show of good faith was an appearance in person, or so her space station's lead researcher had so irritatingly advised. Which meant Herta was now here in an admittedly very quaint-looking garden on the Luofu, in the presence of the ship's general — a man who certainly looked every bit as impressive as the brief had described before arriving here.

       A brief, tsk. As if she couldn't be trusted to do this on her own!

       ... Anyway, did Asta really expect her to stay on script?

       “ You can say what you really mean, General. I'm not a politician or a diplomat who needs pandering to. ” She knew full well that her comment regarding Yaoshi wouldn't go down well, and she didn't care. What did amuse, her, however, was the delicate tone of phrase that General Jing Yuan had used in order to express his disapproval without saying so. Politicians are nearly as bad as academics...

       Still, Herta wished to help with the abominations of the Abundance, using data gathered by the Simulated Universe. The process of understanding the divinity of the Aeons would be a lengthy one, but she saw no harm in sharing information with a third party if it would provide them with shorter term benefits. So Jing Yuan had earned himself an explanation of her position, at least. “ I understand how much the Xianzhou has suffered at the hands of the Abundance, but I find applying concepts such as morality to the Aeons to be... well, a fruitless exercise. Yaoshi believes in the merits of THEIR path, or else THEY would not exist. That state of affairs cannot change until or unless THEY are killed by Lan and the combined forces of your Alliance. ”

       Herta held his gaze steadily as they walked. Hopefully the General of the Luofu had prepared himself for a philosophical debate before his meeting with Madam Herta today. “ Besides, was it not the best of intentions that steered your people towards the blessings of the Abundance in the first place? If I am to one day truly understand the Aeons, then I cannot cloud my perception with bias. And the lack of apparent awareness on Yaoshi's part is indeed fascinating. ”

Haihai! I'd really appreciate if you'd not tag me in your posts, I don't like being on tag lists! thankyou ^_^ /lighthearted

Apologies! I'll remove you

[ask-a-wanderer]

If you're a puppet, how are your joints made?

Is it sort of like the two parts of the limb attached to a ball?

(to mod: picture Herta from Honkai Star Rail, if you want to search for a reference)

"Yes, it is like that."

Wanderer huffed. "I hate how those things look on me, though. They just serve as a reminder that I'll never really be anything more than a puppet for some poor excuse of a God."

[cool-mint]

if you’re still doing the impressions ask game what about herta? c:

Ohhh Herta!! Thank you for asking and thank you for being patient with me :D I'm not as deep into HSR yet (lore and character-wise), so forgive me if it's light >w<

First impression: Who is this child and why is she yelling at me

Impression now: I like Herta! I don't know her super well yet but I think she's really interesting! I used her on my team for a little while early-game! I don't remember what it came from, but I was fascinated by the notion of her carefully crafting her dolls(?), making little changes each time to get as close as she could. It's been a while since I read it but the idea left an impression on me!

Favorite moment: Her reaction to me meeting Aha in the Simulated Universe was pretty fun :3c

Idea for a story: I'm not sure I have one at the moment >w<;; I bet there's a lot of fun things you could do with it though!! Maybe something text-based, since her texts to the player are usually pretty amusing!

Unpopular opinion: I'm so sorry this is probably disappointing but I've got nothing here--not only do I have 0% understanding of how she's perceived, but I imagine most of my opinions about her are simple...

Favorite relationship: Very shallow because I just don't know her very well, but I think about her and Asta sometimes! I want to know more about why they work together...they seem like sort of an odd couple to me haha.

Favorite headcanon: I think she likes looking in mirrors and seems like the type to get distracted by reflective surfaces.

Hear me out, IK from HSR AU (Idk if you play it but)

Thought of this after realising Welt coincidentally kind of looks like a cross between Lucifer and Zhaoxi. I think a little IK+Stelle/Caelus+Dan+March squad would be super cute. Irresponsible big sister + slightly overprotective big brother + cool big sibling for IK. It's what she deserves.

I was thinking she'd take the MC's role but I love their characterisation a lot so I didn't wanna exclude them... maybe IK is a sort of 'receptacle companion' who has to share the Stellaron with them to help stabilise it. So I guess in this case they kinda are genuine siblings lol.

Anyway, IK gets summoned to the Devildom and within a day the Astral Express has warped over and everyone (but especially Dan Heng) is ready to start killing

i do know hsr! i picked it up a little while ago, but i haven't really stuck with it so i'm still at a very early point in the game. i'm vaguely familiar with the lore (from what i've played so far and also skimming wiki pages)

i really like the receptacle companion idea!! though i suppose the disadvantage is that whenever things go wrong for one of them, the other experiences the same effects, like in that early cutscene where they block march... but they can also sense each other across universes, which is probably how they tracked ik down

love the little astral express youngsters gang (note to self: think of better group name) <33 their dynamic would be equal parts cute and chaotic and though it may seem like ik is on the sensible side with dan heng, she is actually on a very different level of unhinged that just looks sensible as long as you don't put her in front of a cool monster

in this case ik would probably also have a variable path and type (same as the trailblazer), but if they were fixed... probably either harmony or abundance for path, and imaginary for type

(should we pick a trailblazer to use?? might get confusing since i'm pretty sure everyone on the astral express is a trailblazer, and i'd probably refer to this as a 'trailblazer ik' au, so it might get confusing. we could always just pick whichever for any given thing about it, just for variety)
