#how can hyv expect me NOT to ship this

[nilouandnarimylove]

The fact that Tighnari canonically went through lengths to get in contact with Emilie like a weird little stalker (affectionately) lives in my brain rent free

#ARMORGUARD: an affiliated bronya rp blog. marching on with mik (20, they/them/ gmt +8). standing for the preservation of life and duty. rules and portrayal notes may be found under the cut!

RULES

ON AFFILIATION: this blog is affiliated with gnostic hymns. as such, personal blogs and rp blogs not affiliated with gh will be softblocked or blocked.

ON OOC: i make a lot of jokes ooc, as well as post shitposts (tagged appropriately on this blog) please don’t take them seriously!!! none of what i say ooc is canon here in gh. i try to be very clear about what i include in-character. that said, i understand that the line can get quite blurry at times, so don’t be afraid to ask me to clarify stuff or to tell me to stop doing a bit. i’ll also be doing the same.

ON SHIPPING: i have a very specific pairing in mind so, outside of that, i'm not really open to shipping, but this can change some time in the future depending on how interactions with other muses go.

ON FORMATTING: i use small text, colored dialogue, and icons in my writing. if you have any issues with readability or would like me to change my format, please let me know! i try to know my partner’s preferences but i can (and probably will) forget so i appreciate a reminder. as for my own preferences: i prefer small text because it’s easier for me to read, personally.

ON CONTACT: i prefer discord dms since tumblr notifs don’t always work for me. my username is emblian! i am part of gh’s discord server so you may also ping me there.

ON REPLIES: i try to get back to my partners within 2 weeks. exceptions are lore events and months where i’m on hiatus. if it’s been longer than 2 weeks and i’m not preoccupied, feel free to dm me to ask about the reply—chances are i may have forgotten about it.

ON TRIGGER WARNINGS: i will use general trigger warnings for things such as gore, extreme violence, suicide, and other topics that i deem sensitive enough to warrant it. i will be using “tw // (word)” as a tag. if you have any triggers you’d like me to tag, please feel free to let me know through a dm. i also tag spoilers under “hsr spoilers”

ON HYV GAMES: i am not as familiar with genshin or honkai impact 3rd as i am with honkai star rail. i will defer to my partners for information but please be patient with me if i have lapses in the lore! i would also appreciate it if you could gently correct me on whatever i may get wrong. 

PORTRAYAL NOTES (SPOILER FREE)

i do not base any of my interpretation of bronya (hsr) on bronya (hi3). this includes any of my perception of people such as cocolia and seele. bronya is unaware of the existence of other bronya's and will be confused if you mistake her for anyone else. you're more than welcome to make that assumption, though!

bronya's current canon point happens after the trailblaze continuance mission "future market." any major changes in her continuity that may come with future updates will be posted about here.

jarilo-vi is still a heavily isolated planet, despite the current revitalization efforts going on. bronya may not know much about other planets, and i don't expect those who don't deal directly with jarilo-vi to know about them either.

related to the point above: i don't think bronya has much reason to go outside belobog right now or even do anything unrelated to her job as supreme guardian. assume that all interactions are happening in belobog under some official capacity, unless otherwise stated.

about the role of the abyss sibling: ohh yeahhh youre so right. listen, i adore lumine but every time i think about genshin's lost potential i die a little inside. its such an interesting fantasy concept but they never do anything with it AGGHHHHHHHHH and i know thats bc mhy only cares about money and all and u shouldnt expect anything but still!

even most character interactions with the player are not for character development but just so they can convince you to spend money on your waifus/husbandos (and i wanna say theres nothing wrong with self shipping! i mean we are on the platonic self shipping blog after all lmao, but what hoyo is doing IS predatory).

also i wanna hear about your gi rewrite lio! :eyes: genshin's lore is honestly so confusing and i think theyve retconned it atleast once? (and sorry for the rant, never knew i could write this much so quickly lol)

🐌.

YEAH there's so much lost potential.... of course, hyv's main interest is money, but it's still a little upsetting because you can SEE how much potential there was. if the writing had just been a bit better. not to say it's entirely bad! but still. it could be improved.

yeah of course!!! selfshipping is awesome. i love all my selfshipper moots (their f/os love them so much trust me fr their faves told me themselves teehee). we are literally platonic selfshippers on this blog, you're right! but the character interactions have so much potential outside of the money grabbing. Sighh

ohhhh??? well.... maybe i'll consider rewriting the story, then. posting all my thoughts and whatnot. if you all would want to see something like that!
