#i feel like since this is 100% a matter of taste this isn't a controversial topic to post opinions about for once. thankfully

[daz4i]

i have once again made a tierlist of my opinions of hsr character designs. except i found a version with npcs and aeons so i threw in a few i have any opinions on

also tried to order them within each tier which took. A While on mobile

some are judged purely by the aesthetic of their design (mostly those at the top) tho symbolism and story relevant elements did bump a few characters up. and i admit that perhaps me loving a character bumped them up a bit too. sue me

i am physically incapable of shutting up especially about my opinions so have some (long) extra thoughts under the cut

not me putting a character that showed up in like. a viral video and a flashback where he gets killed this high up. what can i say duke inferno is serving 😔

why did they put a picture of screwllum w/o his hat. i judged him according to his regular in-game design bc that hat is doing so much heavy lifting and i didn't realize it till now but he's on thin ice

can you tell my favorite colors are red and purple

can you tell i don't really like kid characters (like i like some of them as characters but eh. design wise it feels weird. clara's is solid tho, see point 3 as to why)

aventurine is in a funny position bc 1 i think he is very pretty from the neck up 2 he's got a really solid color palette, i like the teal of his shirt 3 the symbolism is great. but. but. i hate how his jacket looks so much. you don't understand. i've had a personal beef with it since before i even knew him. it's so ugly. yes it's cool that he has a roulette on his back but it looks BAD i'm sorry. this jacket alone weighed him all the way down to the bottom

feixiao would've been one tier higher if she was buff like she's clearly supposed to be 🧐

can you tell i dislike those uh. idk what it's called in english. straight bangs?? like what lingsha pela and (doll) herta have. they're not a deal breaker but unfortunately their designs do nothing else to balance it, so.

while anaxa's portrait + how he looks in the trailer is very pretty, leaks of his model are uh. less so. so i decided that he alongside other amphoreus characters whose model we haven't seen in-game yet will be left out for now. maybe one day i'll redo this with them

oh my god i just realized that obsidian and kafka's portraits are literally the same

that is all for now. why did i do this at 4 am instead of sleeping

Hongjoong and San's ideal type

Ask 1: Hii can you do a reading on hongjoong (ateez) ideal type?Thank you in advance Ask 2: Hi, can you please do ateez san ideal type?

What is this reading about? First of all welcome to the new blog! As I said in the pinned post, I'll go through the asks I had in my old blog. Since these two have the same topic and are about two ateez members I decided to post them together.

I must say that compared to Yunho, at least I know Hongjoong is their producer and leader or something like that and San is the one who dances with a lot of energy? I mean, I know there's one of them who is known for that, but I'm not too sure if it's him lmao

Disclaimer:

My readings are made for fun and you should read them for fun too. So don't take them seriously. 

Hongjoong

Cards: attempt, enemy, creativity

Attempt might imply having a fascination for someone who isn't scared of trying something new.

You know those people who live freely? Like those who travel around the world, or who change jobs very often and these jobs are unique? The ones you wonder how the heck they can afford all that without working a normal job.

This person shouldn't be too tied by responsibilities. 

Spontaneity seems an important quality. 

I think this might also imply he would like to be the one to be pursued, so someone who isn't intimidated by him and who can confidently approach him.

Enemy in this case might imply that he's the kind of person who's excited if there's a bit of spice in the couple.

I think this points to two interpretations: 1) he likes people that are very different from him, so the contrast can happen because they have different personalities/views/values, 2) he wants to have an open relationship with this person, where they can both be 100% honest, even if this means saying unpleasant things.

What I can say for sure is that this person shouldn't be afraid of conflict and they shouldn't be flatterers just for the sake of making the other person happy.

If they think their friends' dress is horrible then this person will say it, for example.

I think he might appreciate this type of honesty. As an idol, probably he has a bunch of people who will praise him no matter what and another bunch of people who will hate on him no matter what, so he might seek a more objective view on him as a person or on his job?

Hongjoong is a creative person I'm not surprised if he wants someone creative.

The previous two cards already pointed to someone a bit out of the ordinary and creativity aligns very well with what I said so far. He might be attracted to a literal artist like a fellow musician.

Maybe a musician who is indie or just a regular person who plays something and practices it only as a hobby, definitely someone who doesn't have all his responsibilities and schedules and who live their love for music in a much more relaxed way. Like playing a guitar next to a fire place in a desert at night, during one of their travels.

So yes, a unique person with a lot of freedom.

San

Cards: rage, wealth, destruction

These Ateez boys all have a peculiar taste so far lmao

Rage implies a somewhat strong personality I guess. Like very strong, very out there, very expressive. 

This person is someone who isn't afraid of speaking their mind and letting everything out, even if it might be controversial or if it isn't exactly socially acceptable.

I don't think this implies actual anger, but when you express rage it means that you're letting out everything you feel in a very direct way, so I interpret it as a person who is an extrovert, without inhibition and very confident.

Wealth popped out so many times whenever I did an ideal type for idols, but hey who doesn't want a rich partner lmao I wonder if this doesn't imply a fear of attracting people who just want to stay next to them because they're rich and famous, so by consequence they dream of people that are not only financially stable, but also with very individual personalities who wouldn't act like parasites. idk just some random thoughts. 

As usual, I don't interpret wealth only in a monetary sense, but in general I tend to consider it also as an inner richness and as the presence of a sense of independence.

Destruction in my deck is represented the god Vulcan (or Hephaestus) and he's the god of forgery, so actually he creates rather than destroying. If you think about it, to forge something, first you need to melt (in a way destroy) the material and then reshape it according to what you have to create. Vulcan would live in volcanoes, which is a place tied to destruction but also creation.

This person should have a certain sense of creativity, but they don't hold this creation that dear to them. If a new idea pops out, they won't have an issue to abandon their previous project and start a new one, even if it implies destroying their previous hard-work.

This might imply risky decisions like shutting down an activity that was successful just because they found out that another activity is more interesting. 

It might have also moral implications, like this person will literallly drop you if you disappoint them, no matter how close you are. So this means this person has values that are very dear to them and that shouldn't be overstepped. They're not the kind of person who will be stuck to someone just because they're afraid to be alone.

This also implies, in my opinion, that this person is ready to hop in new experiences and put their 100% into each of them.

They're not the type of person who will give up on love relationships just because an ex cheated on them, for example. Or they won't give up their dream, if they failed one attempt.

I can imagine San might like the idea of being chosen by this person over someone else? Like, if they're already in a relationship with someone else, he might really like if this person destroys their previous relationship to start something new with him.

Freedom was the key word for Hongjoong's type, for San I'd say vitality, someone who puts their 100% in everything, for better or for worse.
