#idk his dynamic with the stellaron hunters would be so good

[laatteheart]

sometimes i'd like to think of sunday and robin were sheltered when they were growing up under the oak family but sunday was like, Far more sheltered than robin. they had people do things for them within the Oak Family, and even when they do it's not really as much. they probably studied more often than not and probably taught the way around within the Family. their fondest memories are few and far between, like how the concert for two is their most favorite moment.

this then gets me to a point if sunday was actually going to get recruited into the stellaron hunters, i can imagine how he tried to wrap his head around doing casual things they do when they aren't on a mission because he was not accustomed to it. sure, they're interastral criminals but sometimes they probably do average things off script. he knows how to handle people and the issues he has, he's aware of bad things that happens with people and how they struggled whenever they'd confess to him to absolve them off their sin which led him to do all what he did during the 2.2 quest.

but does he know what's it like to figure out where to put your detergent in your laundry, the difference between a white and a red onion for a dish, what's it like for not having enough cash in your wallet, what's it like to have a broken wheel on a shopping cart, and know what's it like that to be the receiving end of an irritated employee that had a long day?

and the thought that he probably learns these things in a new environment with the stellaron hunters where people from all backgrounds have their own aspirations like him. they're different but they're all the same all at once. it's like a strange but harmonious display, all united by a common goal. he sees their experiences first-hand and gets to know them, what kind of people they were, and how they most definitely have dreams that are so much different than he has that it wouldn't intersect. it doesn't make sense first, sure, but they still strive over a single thing and attain that aspiration they have in the first place that at some point, he understands.

idk he sounds like that catholic school kid who got into a community college i just rambled LMAO

I would love to hear your thoughts about Sunday. (Please rant about him)

free reign to rant about my favorite character.... omg. I hope you know what you've just unleashed

first of all look at him. he is like a cat.

now where to begin...

I know what kinds of characters I like so I knew immediately that I was in for it when I first saw Sunday, "the most handsome man on Penacony!" with Robin in tow, who was his sister. for reference, characters with siblings almost always end up having my heart. for example Ayato is my favorite character in genshin, Arlecchino following close second. my affection for Aventurine rose drastically the moment I learnt he had a sister. found family Stellaron hunters makes my heart melt. I will always love sibling dynamics, characters who put their families first.

then his interaction with Aventurine happened. his questions were so very clearly a projection, not an interrogation. "Do you love your family more than yourself?" he was so clearly grieving. this is where Sunday starts to set apart from Ayato in my head. Sunday was more emotional and fraying at the seams than we ever saw Ayato throughout the story. he was a grieving brother who barely hides it. and... "Do you wish to destroy this world?". this is where Sunday starts to clearly set apart from Aventurine. Sunday would rather remake the world than destroy it.

and then. 2.2 - In Our Time happened. this is where I knew that he would become my obsession for months and months and months to come. it's where we saw his kindness, his bleeding heart, his pessimism on full display. his love for humanity - but never for himself. his evangelical themes, his Maruki persona 5-esque plan, his own grand orchestra, he himself being orchestrated like a puppet on strings. his Luciferic fall from grace.

...and being caught instead😭

this was so poignant i almost cried. idk like everything clicked here. s*icidal characters being caught (not saved) but held is so important to me. the light in their eyes dimming and the framing of the scene reminded me of how Scaramouche fell. and like how Aventurine held Kakavasha's hands.

PLUSSS sibling characters growing apart the older they get. Robin and Sunday arent that close in the present, that much is clear. they even fought before this. BUT SHE STILL CAUGHT HIM I JUST-- 😭 LIKE FUCK BRO I DIDNT EVEN THINK PENACONY AS A WHOLE WAS GOOD AT THE TIME NOR WAS I EVEN PLAYING HSR AT ALL I ONLY STARTED DURING JUNE 2024 but this still got me. it ended me. it just had everything i ever loved every theme i found dear and personal

also my favorite writing choice they did for Penacony was continuously mentioning Robin and Sunday's "paradise of our dreams" and the "promise" they made and how diametrically opposed they are despite both pursuing that vow, but... we only properly learn what it is at the end 😭

i. just cried at this i think. its such a simple wish but things went so far than Trustful Boy and Guileless Girl could have ever thought.

so that's the journey. ultimately i just came to the conclusion that this guy is just too cute for his own good and he wants the best for people he's never ever selfish or mean 😭 he's as loving as Elysia hi3 i think and his 7 rest days philosophy is just so cute of him.

he truly truly TRULY advocates for resting rather than having to work 9-5's, he would tell you to eat the extra dessert and to sleep in a little. HOWEVER. he would not extend this same leniency to himself. that is the duality and complexity of Sunday. (like look at this)

HE DOESNT RELY ON GODS!!! faithful church boy that he is, he denounced both Xipe AND Ena while still honoring THEM and he makes such good philosophical points and its just crazy that the trailblazers didnt really want to listen to him bc he was cooking. and regardless, he takes his fall with grace. GRACE!! he WANTED to be proven wrong he's just so reasonable and i love his faith and devotion and care and and and

as a kid he dissed the teacher that said little Robin's singing was bad. and then he ate an eggtart out of spite. THE LITTLE BIRDIE HAD SUCH AN ATTITUDE!! and he has piercings in his wings and metal choir in his boss theme of course he's a little alt.

i adore this side of him:

he just. needs to know that he's deserving of all the love in the world he desires for everyone else. i hope he doesnt put himself on such punishingly high standards anymore. i hope he learns more from Aventurine and takes more chances. i hope he gets his :3 smile back on his model.

i am so ill for this man.

also i think this message i sent to my friend after I saw Sunday's animations explains how i feel at all times. I got nothing to hide. (I'm sorry women) (NSFW text warning)

spoilers ahead

wolfie and firefly hanging out theyre BESTIES

crazy that welt isnt telling us he has a wholeass family back home

also 'for some reason' bestie she was your colleague. in the direct prequel to this game you were coworkers

gallagher isnt confirmed dead which is a point to a character being playable meaning theyre still alive, but misha is like... there is no way

Oh? Oh?????

oh shes mad at him for getting her involved

jade going 'dont be silly, you love him really' is so funny. topaz would kill him as much as she'd kill for him

jade is the kind of girlboss that would sell nfts i think

all this finance talk is giving me a migraine

ok i was kidding but she really is just talking cryptospeak

i know tb/firefly is a super popular ship but idk..the more i play the more i feel like their platonic relationship is super sweet

BOOTHILL AND AVENTURINE INTERACTIONS!!!!!

oh yeah 'other things' like the fact that you NEARLY DIED

now im by no means fluent but my chinese hearing is just good enough to understand that boothill called him a pansy

also the fact that aventurine is there as a projection is so... im imagining him all dolled up for his zoom call just to collapse straight into bed the second it ends. remote work legend

girl help i cant stop imagining aventurine gossiping to ratio about us while on bed rest

'this individual is my responsibility' what a funny way of saying youre friends

tbh. my best friend irl talks about hanging out with me in almost the exact same way

eating brb

[violetsareblue-selfships]

himeko, serval & blade for the ask game :3

hi hi mika!! ty for the ask! this got long so under a readmore :3

Himeko:

Sexuality Headcanon: Either a lesbian or bisexual… idk I just know she likes girls so~

Gender Headcanon: Honestly, I don't have one? I tend to see her as cis

A ship I have with said character: Is it too early to say me yet? Even if she's still only a potential f/o lol; also I've seen some faint art pieces for her and Kafka which were fun so that's an option

A BROTP I have with said character: The Express Crew - Welt, Dan Heng, March, Pom-Pom, and either Caelus or Stelle - they give such a good found family vibe ^-^

A NOTP I have with said character: I don't have one for her

A random headcanon: She can draw really well! She likes drawing out landscapes of planets that she visits (or if she can't while she's there - she canonically has a good memory so she'd do it as soon as she gets on the express afterward).

General Opinion over said character: She's very pretty!! I can't wait to pull her in-game and also I wanna see her go on a mission with us like Welt currently is <3

Serval:

Sexuality Headcanon: Lesbian - I literally cannot see her with a guy lol

Gender Headcanon: Again I don't have much of one, though, genderfluid would be interesting with her

A ship I have with said character: Again, is it too early to say me? Lol, but also there was something there with her and Cocolia when they were younger

A BROTP I have with said character: I love the dynamic between her and Gepard like so much! (also putting the literal meaning of 'bro' in brotp here lol)

A NOTP I have with said character: I mean, there's an obvious no here (as mentioned above) beyond that… I don't have one.

A random headcanon: Whenever one of the kids from the Underground comes to her, she'll sing/play guitar for them even if she doesn't have a gig planned for that day.

General Opinion over said character: She's so cool!! I really love her whole aesthetic and her little singing idle animation just <33

Blade:

Sexuality Headcanon: Demisexual

Gender Headcanon: Like Diluc he's either cis or trans in my head :3

A ship I have with said character: Me~ - Kafka is also an option but given what I know of lore it also isn't lol

A BROTP I have with said character: the other Stellaron Hunters! So Kafka, Silver Wolf, etc.

A NOTP I have with said character: I don't think I have one again. I'm not usually picky when it comes to ships lol

A random headcanon: He loves watching cute animal videos (specifically like baby animals) but he won't ever say it out loud. Like he'll watch any that I send them and never complains that I send them so :3

General Opinion over said character: Loml literally. He's the exact character I fall for no matter what and his voice is already <33 so 10/10
