HI I just happened to have stumbled upon your account and got very excited to see someone talking about the story for this HSR update because Iâm still processing!! I know youâve mainly been talking about Aventurine (understandably so), but Iâd love to know your thoughts on the conversation between him and Acheron. Idk something about that scene really stuck to me through everything. I think it reveals so much about each of them as individuals and even their relationship? But yea how did you see it and what are your thoughts and
i loved it! like i said, i really, really, really enjoyed the way she shunned the nihility despite her position as an emanator. that was thematically perfect. she's a "raiden mei" who lost her "kiana" (and subsequently, her home, her planet, and everything she knew). she has been engulfed by despair, plagued by loss on an unimaginable scale. it would be so easy for her to drown in the nihility - to lose herself in the pointlessness and unfairness of it all... but she doesn't. she actively chooses to value life and individual choices. when aventurine starts talking about the nihility enveloping everyone and always being There, she tells him it's pointless. "it" not as in life, but as in the nihility itself.
and she's right! if it's always there, then what's the point in paying it any mind? that energy is better put into cherishing the time you do have to be alive. life matters because it always comes to an end. like, remember the xianzhou? yeah.
everything she had to say about endings and death is basically my own perspective on the matter. so that was really gratifying ^^ it's not a perspective i often see explored to the extent hsr did, because like i've said before... many stories are afraid to go prodding at the idea of death. many people are terrified of it. but like... why bother with that? it's there, it will happen to all of us, that's fine, i don't mind, i'm not going to despair over it. because the journey and the memories we make along the way are what matters
(good old red text blending in badly with this alternate color palette of hers... "And because of this, the 'end' will thus reveal a completely different meaning.")
she really was the perfect person to convey this. not just because of the subversion of the entire philosophy of nihilism - i think aventurine needed to hear it all. from her specifically. hard to keep arguing that life is pointless because it always ends in death when an emanator of nihility tells you that's not true. he hasn't valued his own life since... well . ever, it seems. even in his childhood he was ready to gamble it all away (the flashback where he risks his life to retrieve his sister's necklace)
his current gamble isn't over yet. he managed to stay one step ahead of sunday and provoked acheron into attacking him and getting him to this "other side" of the memory zone/dreamscape. but now he has to get out - and from what i understand, this is the part where all those official deaths on penacony's record happened. it wasn't them being "killed" in the dreamscape; it was their attempt to leave this "other side." if he can do it, i think he'll come out with a new appreciation for his life and a new sense of peace - and perhaps some freedom from the IPC, finally. the other stonehearts seem to think he's actually dead, right? here's his chance to slip free. which is the real reason why he went this far in the first place, btw :)
#aughhhhhhhhhhhhthis game#i hope aventurine gets the chance to see acheron at least one more time...#i think being friends and seeing each other regularly might be off the table for them both#but that doesn't make the bond they managed to form any less powerful#i just want them to know the other got out of the penacony death maze safely#mailbox

hsr x gn!reader relationship hcs
warnings: penacony spoilers (2.0+), bug mention (screwllum), angsty (aventurine & acheron), ocd mention (sunday), slight dark content (ie stalking) at end in Sundays but itâs marked in red to avoid if uncomfy
characters: sunday, screwllum, acheron, aventurine
a/n: i feel like itâs so obvious i did like 2 of these a week later đ i need more Sunday content in game
sunday
⧠if you manage to get past Sundayâs formal exterior, what lies behind it is a complete âknow-it-all.â
â§let him nerd out about the greatest books in the current and past amber eras. heâll make sure to tell you all about the authors too.
â§if the two of you have liking books in common, congrats! heâll bring you on a tour to the primal waking library where you can chat all about it.
â§sundayâs compulsions become even worse with you around. is his shirt properly tucked in? he hopes thereâs no wrinkles, maybe he should iron all his shirts again. oh gosh-are his shoes untied? you donât even notice this. heâs used to hiding his true feelings.
â§he definitely confesses first. heâs aware that his status can be a hindrance when forming genuine relationships.
⧠maybe afterwards heâll let you touch his wings. he loves the feeling of you stroking his feathers. especially when those annoying pin feathers grow in. the biggest sign of trust amongst birds- and sunday of course.
⧠and obviously you always get free vip to robinâs shows.
â§before and after the âRobin incidentâ are two very different Sundays.
â§the after, is a very possessive Sunday. he canât have you become like Robin. he uses nightingales to keep watch on you, to make sure youâre safe. he knows itâs unhealthy but he just lost his sister, he canât lose you too.
-
Aventurine
â§aventurineâs flirty facade fools most people. they think heâs sleazy and untrustworthy, and so do you in the beginning.
â§at first he talks to you because he thinks your reactions are amusing.
â§eventually your relationship gets too deep for comfort.
â§this guy will never open up. if he has feelings for you, youâll never know. itâs not because heâs ashamed. itâs because he cannot comprehend someone actually liking him.
â§the only way heâll confess is if you do it first. and even then he plays it off like a joke, something he canât even believe. it takes a lot of button pressing to get him to admit his feelings.
â§aventurine is a very vulnerable person. he may rub off insults but they still hurt him deep.
â§the first time you hug him, he is baffled. affection has been foreign to him since the extinction event.
â§worming your way into his heart will get you even more riches then before. sure, he hands out money like nothing, but to you? that credit card is unlimited.
â§âwhat, thatâs all?â he encourages you to spend.
â§brings you to casinos for good luck. not as if he needed any, but with you at least his hand doesnât shake.

screwllum
⧠it isnât uncommon for inorganic species to feel love. just as it isnât uncommon for organic species not to.
⧠Screwllum, however, hasnât experienced that feeling.
⧠he sees the way organic species love in a way he hasnât. as a genius society member and one interested in life itself, how could he not be interested.
⧠which is why when he starts feeling a fluttering in his chest whenever youâre around, he must get to the bottom of it!
⧠confesses instantly. he has zero experience yet remains so confident.
⧠immediately takes time out of his day to interact with you. in whatever way possible.
⧠it could be the busiest day of his life and heâll still make time for you.
⧠heâs described as a gentlemen by his close companions. this means opening doors for you, taking you out to places, etc.
⧠sounds too good to be true. but it is true.
⧠his one flaw, if you can even call it that, is his love for all life. and that includes bugs! no smashing them on his watch! heâs picking them up before you even get the chance.
⧠if you like bugs, even better. heâll gently pick them up and talk about them with you. the two of you can take turns.
-
Acheron
⧠the first time you meet her, you think sheâs a polite but introverted lady. she claims to be a galaxy ranger and you have no reason to doubt her.
⧠her blunt way of speaking leaves no room for questions.
⧠that is, until you get too entangled in each otherâs destines.
⧠your first meeting with acheron, wasnât actually your first. youâve met her many times. every time though she seems not to know you.
⧠Acheron lies to protect you. just as she lied about being a galaxy ranger, she lies that she has no feelings whatsoever towards you.
⧠perhaps you remind her of someone she once knew.
⧠on some days, acheron traverses through her memories to look for you. she sees the hurt look in your eyes, but sees your smiles too. the path of a self-annihilater is a lonely one.
⧠ultimately, if you manage to convince her with words and actions that you truly care for her. she will put forth that effort tenfold. she desperately doesnât want to be alone anymore.
⧠acheron is very protective towards you. if thereâs a hint of danger, sheâll encourage you to take her with you. even going on her own to eliminate it herself.

Hi so i sent this but i dont think it sent so ill send it again so uh
I spent literally ALL WEEK GRINDING FOR MISTER BLOND MAN bcz i lost my fifty fifty to ugly dragon loli amd i just needed forty more pulls to garuantee him but guess what đ
I accidentally pulled on friggin acherons banner and got her instead
So can you please help me cope by writing a fic where that happens to reader but aventurine buys her a bunch of jades so she can get him anyway? Because i need someone to do the for me. I need a stinking rich friend who will gamble for me in mobile games. And yes he knows hes in a game and breaking the fourth wall
Thank you
Also established relationship plz
P.S im still gonna try to get him wish me luck im SO demotivated but its whatever
Luck, Love, and a Thousand Jades
Summary: After the latest banner drop in HSR, youâre excited to pull for your favorite character, Aventurine. However, to your surprise, Aventurine appears in person, offering an overwhelming amount of in-game currency to ensure your reunion. As you summon him with his help, you marvel at the absurdity of it all.
Tags: Aventurine x Reader, Romance, Humor, Fictional Crush, Fluff, Surreal, Fourth Wall breaking, Bro is real somehow-
A/N: đI feel so bad for you bestie... I do hope you get Aventurine on his banner before it ends! Hope this fic will cheer you up!
The soft hum of your phone filled the cozy room as you sat cross-legged on the couch, your eyes glued to the screen. The banner for the latest update had just dropped, and the character youâd been pining forâAventurine himselfâwas finally here. The dazzling image of his in-game model, with all its sharp edges and that maddening smirk, stared back at you, practically taunting you to pull.
âYouâre really going to make me work for this, arenât you?â you muttered, debating whether to throw your measly stash of resources into the gacha abyss or exercise patience for once in your life.
âIâd say you have a better chance of hitting a jackpot than summoning me with that pitiful pile,â a voice drawled behind you.
Your heart jumped into your throat, the phone nearly slipping from your grasp as you whirled around to see himâAventurine. Not the 2D version on your screen, but the real deal.
Or, at least, the closest thing to it. He stood in the doorway of your living room, hair perfectly tousled, those impossibly vibrant eyes glinting with amusement. The overcoat, the spade-shaped chest window, even the roulette detailingâhe looked exactly like his character model, down to the smirk that never seemed to leave his lips.
âWait, what?â you sputtered, looking between him and your phone. âWhat are you doing here? Howââ
âAh, ah,â he interrupted, holding up a hand to stop the inevitable spiral of questions. âYouâve already accepted that Iâm aware of the... meta circumstances surrounding my existence. Letâs not waste time rehashing the impossible.â He sauntered toward you, the soft click of his polished shoes against the floor making you wonder just how far your suspension of disbelief could stretch. âWhat I do find curious is why you, my supposed significant other, have yet to summon me.â
Your jaw dropped. âFirst of all, youâre the hardest character in the game to pull for. Do you have any idea how low the pull rates are? Second, I donât have enough jades!â
Aventurine chuckled, perching himself on the armrest of the couch beside you. âDarling, do you honestly think Iâd let a little thing like odds stand between us?â He reached into his pocket, pulling out a sleek, gold-accented wallet. âAllow me to... invest in our reunion.â
Your eyes widened as he handed you what could only be described as a literal mountain of jades. The shimmering gems appeared in a neat pile on your phone screen as if by magic.
âWhere did you even get those?â you asked, utterly baffled.
âDo you really want to know?â he teased, leaning closer until his face was just inches from yours. âLetâs just say, being one of the Ten Stonehearts comes with its perks.â
You stared at the screen, the obscene number of jades practically begging to be spent. âThis... this is too much. I canât justââ
âOf course, you can,â he interrupted smoothly, his gloved hand gently tilting your chin so you were forced to meet his gaze. âConsider it an investment in my ego. After all, how could I possibly allow anyone else to steal your attention?â
You hesitated for a moment longer before sighing. âFine. But if I donât get you in the first ten pulls, Iâm blaming you.â
âBlame me all you like, darling,â he replied with a wink. âIâve always had a penchant for high-stakes gambles.â
With a resigned smile, you hit the summon button, the familiar animation spinning across your screen. The first few pulls were a flurry of three-star items and a character you already had, but thenâ
Gold.
The distinctive glow of a five-star pull lit up the room, and there he was, sitting on his red velvety sofa, looking smug on your screen.
âWell, well,â Aventurine said, his voice full of mock surprise. âIt seems fate has finally smiled upon you.â
You turned to him with an incredulous laugh. âYou bought fate! This isnât even fair!â
âFairness is for those who canât manipulate the odds,â he said with a smirk, pulling you into a playful embrace. âNow, donât you think itâs time to show your gratitude? Perhaps dinner, on me?â
You couldnât help but laugh, leaning into his warmth. âYouâre unbelievable, you know that?â
âUnbelievably charming, intelligent, and generous,â he agreed, pressing a kiss to your forehead. âNow, shall we celebrate your victoryâand my unparalleled generosity?â
As absurd as the situation was, you found yourself smiling. After all, not everyone could say their fictional crush had crossed dimensions just to spoil them with virtual currency. With Aventurine, life was always a gambleâbut it was one youâd happily take every time.

Well, since i finished the main story Penacony's first half (still need to do the Companion Mission + finding all those chests), and I took a few screenshots, and I thought I'd show them while also having commentary on the main quest's story beats.
**SPOILERS and a LOTS of words Under the Cut
While I am kinda sad Dan Heng didn't get to join us for Penacony, at least this means he gets a rest. Man was going through it on the Luofu let him have a chance to breathe and relax for once in his life.
This is more of a nitpick for me but I missed the easter egg at the beginning where you could've seen Silver Wolf & Sam chatting and I'm sad i missed it! I can go back in someone's playthrough to see it but man :(
Gotta love not at all ominous red text with Acheron. I'm sure this has nothing to do with anything in the foreseeable future.
That being said, I am kinda intrigued on what's the relationship between the Trailblazer & Acheron. I didn't get to play Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have read the comics Hoyoverse have online. And as the Star Rail's Raiden Mei of course they're going to give her an important role. It's also nice (and depressing) that she sees what I assume is the HSR Kiana of this universe, or someone else entirely. Plus she just seems like a character with a lot of regret. Hard to tell right now, but I also saw the red text does change depending on who you chose & the choices you make when talking to her so cool details!
Also Penacony is HUGE. I spent so much time getting lost in the Golden Hour area alone and i still haven't found every chest & puzzle. they really wanted this area to feel like the Roaring 20's and it shows
Aventurine is a grade-A asshat and good for him. He's very punch-able in a positivity way. Man's scheming something and i don't trust him one bit, but I am intrigued by him. Also his banter with Dr. Ratio was defiantly charged with something. Whether that was sexual tension or them wanting to kill each other, it's anyone's guess. He's also a really good contrast to Topaz as an IPC official whose not above using shady methods to win so I'm intrigued. Still wanna punch him tho.
I hope Misha & Gallagher get more time to shine in later patches, their appearances were so brief I NEED MORE! I do have a working theory on Misha but that's for a later time :)
Despite not being a character I would usually like, I kinda enjoy Sparkle in a "i would hate you irl but i find you fascinating in game' way. Masked Fools always struck me as an cool faction since their Aeon is a trickster god in a way. SO it makes sense of of their most notable Fool being a shapeshifting trickster who loves pushing people's buttons for fun. I'm pulling for her for having more DHIL ultity but man is she a piece of work.
I also really enjoyed Firefly as a character. Even tho I feel we didn't get to explore more of her character before you know what, I liked what we got. She was very cryptic about why she was a stowaway, and a lot of dialogue during her heart-to-heart definitely means something. Even what Clockie said about people being able to see him by being pure of heart probably holds more weight, but i guess will have to wait to see where that goes in future patches.
Nothing much, I just really liked this shot in the Dream's Edge area, and I think generally I enjoy Dream Edge the most out of all the Penacony 2.0 maps. The shooting stars are a nice touch too!
What a cute pic, surely this means only good things for them :)
On that matter, I can't believe Star Rail introduced a sweet cute young girl, had us bond the majority of the quest-line with, ONLY to rip her from us in the most GRAPHIC WAY POSSIBLE!? ALL WHILE PLAYING "If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking" AFTERWARDS?! WHAT THE HELL
what a way to show Penacony isn't playing games, and that the writers being from Honkai Impact 3rd show they aren't afraid to show that things in Penacony are taking LIVES!!
I also like Acheron in this scene after Firefly passed on and giving some funerary rites. A nice quiet moment after we got are hearts crushed by the Something onto Death entity. I also like how Black Swan has beein a patient guide after all this, trying to get the Trailblazer to a goal but because she can foresee events through Arcana and can see memories, shes been the most helpful on Penacony as of right now despite being an enigma
I also loved Sam's first introduction as he's always been mentioned by the other Stellaron Hunters as 'not picky' with his prey, doesn't play mind games and goes straight for the kill type. And man did he make an impression in the short amount of time he got.
And the end scene with Aventurine, there's a lot going on. While i don't completely agree with him on Acheron, he does have a point on her being suspicious. Especially if she killed Duke Inferno ALONE (rip Ifrit mains) and her Emanator powers truly do come from one of the destructive Aeons. Most likely Finality since KiaMei is as consistant as with BronSeele/lh
Also on a side not I hope Sunday gets to go apeshit soon, dude deserves it since his dear sister is dead too. Otherwise yeah I'm VERY invested in what Penacony has in store later on.
And with that, I leave this post with the MOST EVIL ACHIEVEMENT PT 1 (there's more of them dw)
