O, noble guest from afar. The wind brought me news of you along the golden threads. My name is Aglaea, the Dressmaster of Okhema and one of Amphoreus' Chrysos Heirs. I hope we treat each other with honesty.

As someone who never was a Yanqing hater, the 2.4 and 2.5 update made me become proud of my son.

Y'all made fun of him and called him weak af, BUT HE COOKED.

bro this whodunnit is fucking weird

[moltensmusings]

Shout out to star rail for giving us a main character who is kind of a complete loser. They chose to make trailblazer have an intense love of garbage just because. They're the "oh I'm not a hero, I was told to do this" type.

You can make them fully attached to a woman who constantly manipulates and lies to them. They have a found family that they were the last one to join. They can be dumb as rocks but endearingly so. They use a baseball bat as their primary weapon in a game where their enemies potientially use space lazers and guns.

Stelle/Caelus are one of the protagonists of all time, and I love them dearly.

Star rail keeps throwing us the weirdest men to thirst over and I'm here for it.

A cold, intelligent professor who degrades you but has a profoundly silly moveset? Sign me the fuck up!

2.6 Penacony thoughts [part 2]

**Spoiler warning** for everything up until the end of Rappa’s flashbacks. I’ve already finished the story by now so just be mindful of that if I do mention something earlier than intended or anything that happens towards the very end if you haven’t completed everything yet.

Knowing now that this whole ninja idea is a big delusion inside her own head is kinda sad honestly. I would’ve been down to see an entire society with people just like her.. but nope.

It is so darn sweet how much Dan Heng cares about his Astral Express family, aaaaah. His voice sounded so tender too.

I may be stupid, but for the longest time I believed that there was only one Emanator for each path, which is why when I heard Dan Heng mention Dr. Primitive as one for Erudition I thought, nah, that’s Herta.. until I remembered the Arbiter Generals are all sorta blessed by Lan, so clearly there can be multiple Emanators, yea? Do correct me if I’m wrong on any account. I don’t delve too deep into Aeon lore often. Regardless, if what Dan Heng says is true (which I assume it is because he’s incredibly intelligent), then yeah, this doctor could be a problem.

I love and cherish every moment Rappa breaks out into a rap. I’m sure each one of her voice actors did wonderfully.

The speed at which I chose the swear option should be feared. I didn’t even bother reading the other choices and I don’t regret it one bit because each of these lines is beyond hilarious!

Looking back now and I noticed there was an option to get the Trailblazer to rap instead, which would of course impressed Rappa, but.. yeah, guess that’s something I’ll never hear.

I couldn’t help myself but choose the swears a third time because of how hard Rachael’s delivery and the constant *bana* censors had me completely dying of laughter. Boothill would be so proud of me.

Never once while watching all version’s trailers would I have ever imagined that all those monkeys running around would’ve actually been people.. oh dear. This patch when from silly to serious real quick.

I honestly was a bit surprised to hear Rappa talk without the usual ninja jargon. I’ve grown rather fond of it and her quirkiness by now. Just a shame it’s all mainly a result of the experiments she was put through.

Psycho. But I’ll give him a pass. It did amuse me how we in fact change scenes right after this.

Oh huzzah he’s not totally corrupt by siding with Profnana. He has some standards and I dig that for him.

I don’t know why but he gives me the tiniest Aventurine vibes here and the whole “unlike the house, the gambler knows exactly what they want,” quote comes to mind.. at least the part about Reca knowing his main goal and how he’ll do anything to achieve it perfectly.

This scene.. is doing things to me. I’m touched by how adorable young Boothill looks and yet I’m also trying my best to look respectfully at older Boothill’s.. um, everything. I don’t own our space cowboy so it’s been a hot minute since I’ve read his lore, but I thought his whole cyborg body transformation was done all at once, sorta like how it was depicted in his light cone instead of by pieces like this.. I dunno, maybe he was taken apart and put back together several times, but goddamn, he looks amazing. But are they saying there’s only ten years difference between these two versions of him? Talk about a glow up.

Thank aeons this patch exists and gives me all the Boothill action I originally hoped for when this man was first introduced. I still don’t think he did much in the main Penacony story, but he’s certainly making up for lost time now.

This. Him. Yup. That’s all.

I’ll be completely honest.. if Rappa was actually as serious as she appears here, I’d love her twice as much. Don’t get me wrong, I adore the goofball she normally is, but there’s just something about the look in her eyes and that no-nonsense vibe she’s giving off here that tickles my fancy so much more.

Not entirely sure if it’s a common trait for Memokeepers to be capable of teleporting people, but it’s definitely an interesting little trick. From Black Swan’s cards to Mr. Reca’s film reels, I wonder what other possible methods are out there. Oh, and goes without saying, but I hope he’s playable in the future.

The moment Rappa’s flashback begins inside a lab and other people were seen inside of tubes, I knew our girl wasn’t an ordinary person. I didn’t know if I should be upset or intrigued by this twist because it certainly wasn’t the kind of backstory I was expecting for her. I didn’t pull for her so I didn’t even think to read through her character stories, so all this came outta left field for me.

I did know that her E6 portrait shows the back of her neck and what I originally assumed to be a tattoo of three little dots, or even something like a curse mark, but hearing all this now has made it very clear that it ain’t no tattoo!

Bruh.. and we thought Rappa was the true weeb. Nah, it’s this dude. She’s only living in a Naruto themed delusion because this guy loves a manga too much.

Well, at least this all explains why her combat path is Erudition. Not gonna lie but I kinda love when there’s an actual valid reason behind a character’s path. Sure, it makes perfect sense why people like Gepard is Preservation and Feixiao being The Hunt, but someone like Jiaoqiu? A military healer whom isn’t Abundance? Yeah, we all questioned why but his past experiences with war and how that trauma changed him undoubtedly support his path of Nihility. Now we get Rappa who follows The Hunt due to being a Galaxy Ranger, but her combat path is Erudition because that’s exactly what she was created to be.

Well fudge, didn’t expect this dude to resort to such violence. That’s usually Boothill’s job.

Oohhh dear.. before we concern ourselves with the obvious, who even is this other Galaxy Ranger who showed up? You think we’re ever gonna meet them? And how long until this game finally allows someone to swear without any censors?? I eagerly await the day and still place my hopes on it being for Seele.

So, um.. yeah. I say those experiments were quite successful and Rappa is someone to be feared. She’s so unbothered by the dead bodies around her, but I guess after ten years of suffering, you just become numb to this kinda stuff. Thank aeons to whomever saved her and allowed her to join the Galaxy Ranger instead. Our girl definitely softened up since then.

And with all that troublesome backstory out of the way, I’ll leave the rest for one last post. Much less serious from here on out.

Just my mono-imaginary hubs doing business. 💅🥃

aventurine is romani, apparently! i hope hoyo doesn't fuck up his writing, because 2.0 just came out and there's already racist dialogue against him (although it was prob intended to make the player uncomfortable.)

also possible origins of the word "Sigonian," from r/HonkaiStarRail/about_aventurine and tweet from scawamoochi

also check out thesilverhunt3r's post and its reblogs

more rambling - minor spoilers below

i can't wait for his sad backstory & probably-very-important role in the main story & for the other characters to start appreciating him more. i'm a little delusional BUT IT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN TO SOME EXTENT

despite aventurine seeming just as sketchy as the other characters, i think he's a deliberate red herring (compared to: acheron, who's initially presented as trustworthy but is later revealed to be not what she seems. black swan, who offers to help the astral express crew, but doesn't tell them that she made a deal with aventurine involving them. firefly, who deliberately hides her past from trailblazer and repeatedly says she's NOT a stowaway... although that one wasn't hard to see through.)

aventurine has been surprisingly upfront with us. i'm sure he will still deceive us at one point, but in contrast to the aforementioned examples, i think he'll do it for the greater good of penacony. or at least... some kind of greater good? okay definitely getting delusional here since he's not very interested in heroics. but WE WILL SEE

i can't wait to make a full gambling team with aventurine + silver wolf + qingque + free slot?

[wormdevourer]

YIPPEE I JUST GOT HER 🥳🥳🥳

also I got Moze earlier and he is so freaking adorable. bro is not scary, he’s so cute 🥹

[another-goblin]

So according to the comment on Dr. Ratio's lightcone, he canonically struggles with impure thoughts. And yes I'll interpret it in the most impure way possible.

(pictured: dr Ratio besieged by dirty thoughts)

Isn't it funny that his solution to impure thoughts is to take a bath. I mean, if it's a very cold bath then maybe…

[rubywolf0201]

I hope that in the 3.x patches that they gave Dan Heng an alternate skin to either his 4 star form or IL because not only is he casted out of the meta for so long but also because if March is finally useable via her swordmaster form, then I don’t see why Dan Heng should do the same.

Besides, the Games Award trailer did show him and Caelus together going to Amphoreus and given the type of place it is, I can’t unsee Dan Heng getting another form there with Caelus/Stelle (who is getting the Rememberance path)

[thereisabearonmyceiling]

there are pros and cons to the path of destruction

March was right why u got beef random kids bro
