I've seen someone say that Aventurine keeps his left hand behind his back when he's making a bet he's nervous about, and for some reason just now I imagined him doing that while proposing.

Ratio is just like "You saw this as a bet/gamble?" when he notices, to which Aventurine admits "Well, you could say no."

SHOUT OUT TO MY CHILD THE BESTEST BESTEST OF BEST

He’s just the cutest I love him you don’t get it

I’m actually so excited for the stream what

[yuesya]

Aventurine drums his fingers restlessly upon the table.

It’s not the thrill or rush of getting ready to make another gamble, to take on another of the IPC’s deals. No, this is a very different sort of restlessness that he’s feeling right now –one that’s mixed with a distinct unease, almost. Aventurine wouldn’t say that he’s nervous, because he isn’t, but…

… But Aventurine is a realist who’s always acutely self-aware of his own worth. A worth that can only be measured in terms of what value he is able to provide to those around him.

Any relationships are weighed and calculated, always. Everyone makes use of others in some manner, but at the same time that you’re using others, you have to be prepared for being used in return. Because that’s the way things work in this world, isn’t it?

Assess one’s value, establish your own worth, then extend a hand in friendship. That’s the way to cultivate a healthy, cordial relationship.

Look at me. I can be useful to you.

“Aventurine?”

A smile curls over his lips at the sound of her voice, before her figure has even crossed into view. “Hello, Lyra. How have you been doing these days?”

“I was in your apartment last week,” the obtuse Halovian girl responds, once again failing to recognize and partake in the common ritual of social niceties that most people observe.

A faint hint of something more genuine enters Aventurine’s smile, even though he can’t help but be exasperated by her response. “… Do you realize how misleading that sounds?”

Lyra blinks, blue eyes wide and clueless. “But it’s the truth?”

Someone save this oblivious girl. And Aventurine too, preferably.

He lets out a light cough, “Well. At any rate –I’m here with a gift!”

With Lyra, it’s always better to be direct.

Aventurine reaches to his side and brings out the newly-acquired gift he’d brought for his friend. It’s something that had taken quite a bit of effort to get his hands on –a finely-crafted blade, rumored to have been forged using ores mined from Izumo, prior to the world being subsumed in IX’s shadow. Izumo had once been known for the quality of the blades born from their forges. It was impossible to get your hands on an authentic Izumo blade nowadays, though, so Aventurine had to compromise–

The restless sensation in his chest finally eases, when Lyra curiously draws the sword, and her eyes widen. Only slightly, but Aventurine is familiar enough with the girl to clearly see the hint of wonder and delight that she makes no effort to hide in front of him.

“This is an excellent blade.”

It had better be, considering the minor fortune that Aventurine spent on it. “I’m glad you’re happy with it! I thought it might be something that you’d like when I came across it.”

Lyra’s gaze flickers towards him, arching an eyebrow. “You ‘came across it?’”

Aventurine shrugs, doing his best to seem casual about things. So maybe he’d specifically searched for a weapon that would be worthy of her and spent no small amount of effort on the endeavor… but for some reason, with Lyra looking at him like this, he–

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” the words blurt out from his mouth automatically, and Aventurine pauses at the strange feeling that her simple ‘thank you’ elicits in him.

… It’s normal to offer valuable presents to friends. Because that’s how you maintain friendships, right? Reaffirm and prove to them your own value?

So why does he–

“Thank you for the sword,” Lyra says, “And thank you for thinking of me. When you ‘came across it.’”

“Of course,” Aventurine murmurs. “We’re… friends, aren’t we?”

He glances up towards her. There’s no particular reason for it –it’s just a casual look in her direction– but in this moment, Aventurine suddenly sees it. The way her wings flutter slightly, the way the light overhead catches her eyes like jewels beneath the firelight–

The way that her lips curve faintly and he gets the impression that she smiles, just a little bit.

My hsr five stars in a nutshell, and in order

Gepard: Tall, blonde, and gorgeous (according to March 7th)[ reminds me of that McDonald's meme]

Dan Heng [IL]: Emotional dragon, doesn't want want to be here

Bailu: Tiny healer dragon that works with lightning and water (I don't know how that works)

Sunday: The Hottest Angel or the Handsomest man all of pencony (who got his ass kicked by the nameless and proceeds to join the nameless)

Yanqing: A child, that is kinda stupid

Jing Yuan: Hot General, with fluffy hair, and that is husband material (in some areas)

SPOILERS HONKAI STAR RAIL 2.1 PENACONY MAIN QUEST

Like

The whole quest so yeah, spoilers

I have

So

SO

Many things to say

First, there was so much that I didn't understand like, everything was awesome and the writing amazing but I didn't get a lot out of everything and I think that's normal? The whole thing about "death" is the one thing I have the most difficulties to grasp but I guess it's quite logical with how they talked about it.

But HOW THE HELL ARE THEY ALL INSANE?!

We litteraly can't trust anyone??? Like, of course I knew Firefly wasn't dead, it was quite obvious and Sam wasn't really hiding it very well in my opinion. And I understand Sunday to a certain extent but gosh what the hell?! I was having trust issues with everyone at some point and I was still surprised when Gallagher turned out to be not so kind.

I don't even know how to describe how I feel after that quest.

Between Aventurine that I want to hug so bad, Dr Ratio that I don't understand, Sunday going insane, Sparkle telling us to BLOW UP THE WHOLE GOLDEN HOUR, Black Swan that I find weird, the man on the phone (I'm sure it's Boothill) speaking as if it was NORMAL to kill someone, and Acheron being an Emanator but I have no IDEA of what it means?!

What do you mean he had 17 hours left to live because he lied to you?! So because you want to avenge your sister (that much I understand) YOU DECIDE TO SACRIFICE SOMEONE ELSE?

I don't know if the betrayal was part of Aventurine's plan but it still hurt. And Dr Ratio saying he looks pale NO SHIT?

HE'S GOT 17 HOURS LEFT AND YOU SUPPOSEDLY BETRAYED HIM? What was he supposed to do, dance and sing?!

And the end??? I thought Gallagher was safe TURNS OUT HE'S NOT? And Sunday? He's dead now?! Is this some kind of dark and creepy symbolism between the end of 2.0 and the end of 2.1 main quests? First the sister then the brother?

I knew when I first played Penacony that the whole thing with dreams was going to be bad. It's typically the kind of story that is dark and scary. And I was right, at this pace everyone will die and I'll still have no idea what the hell is the Family and the Clockwatcher (I don't know if it's the term in English but I thought it was the one I heard with the voice acting, as my game is in French, we call him L'Horloger) but in my eyes the Family looks more like a kind of mafia than a happy organisation creating peaceful and amazing places.

But now, I'm trying to get as much jade as I can because Luocha took a lot and I want Aventurine.

[nascentwaves]

2.6? 2.full skip is more like it.

[leonawriter]

My take on Sampo and Stelle is that Stelle will be talking to Gepard and shaking her head, going "No, see, you're handling Sampo wrong. He keeps getting away with it because of this, and that, and this here too... you need to focus on these other things. And - why are you looking at me like that?"

It's here that the poor guy realises the true meaning of "it takes one to know one" because even if Stelle doesn't encourage Sampo, she sure does know how he thinks.

[thisbitchcantdraw]

My fucking god he’s finally dead

Him being blasted by Boothill btw

Don’t judge me for using yanqing he’s my fave

Add me if your on European if you want btw

[vera2spark17]

As irritating as March 7 is, I'd like to see an exploration about her past. Maybe we can get clues in Penacony
