HSR 2.6 Quest Thoughts (Spoilers)

(Partially another Dan Heng love post -Resident Dan Heng Enjoyer /hj)

I liked how compact the cast and overall plot is! Definitely easier to follow the events and new characters, which was only a whole 2 of them, which I personally appreciated.

Rappa's backstory adding a tragic context surrounding her behavior and personality hit me harder than I anticipated. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but her being tied so closely to Dr. Primitive didn't even cross my mind prior, but it makes so much sense in hindsight. I was moved by her. I already liked her a lot before but the quest added to that as well. Also Master Shura was interesting to me. He was the "person in a questionable organization that actually questioned the morals of the organization" but the way he was handled intrigued me. Rather than a straightforward immoral -> moral type mindset, he concludes that morality is "a hypocritical and superficial concept" before killing Umbra Headmistress. He's better than the others there but he came across as more tragic in the end, which I find to be an approach that has me thinking about it after. Overall it's cool to see how connected Rappa is to the situation.

Also Mr. Reca is fun! Him being a Memokeeper and showing off the range of abilities/themes for those in the Garden of Recollection make me look forward to any potential Memokeeper characters in the future.

Having a quest go more into depth of Boothill was also nice! Seeing our Galaxy Rangers be expanded on a bit more is something I'm always happy to see. Hearing Nick mentioned by name made me lose it LOL, watch me break down in tears the moment his daughter is too. The sequence of him "falling" into the association's ideals made me more aware of how invested I am in his identity and goals. He made himself a living memorial of everyone he'd lost and the thought of him losing that unsettled me, so that section really got me the more I was made to think about it.

I appreciated how Robin explicitely notes that she still didn't have a "better answer" to the debate about the bird. Rather than having some answer at the end of the Penacony quest, she still has to think about it, and considering the complexities of that topic, I appreciate that it's treated as such by the characters.

Overall, the themes about evolution, ambition, identity, and individuality feel very fitting with Penacony and HSR as a whole. In a universe where there are billions of tragedies across the galaxies, where many factions and beliefs are born, clash, and either carry on or fade away, where dramas play out under the spotlight or in the darkest recesses of space, this is just another small anecdote in history's tapestry, and yet, to those involved, it's important. And in the end, that matters.

With that out of the way, now look at these pictures of Dan Heng (most of them of him saying "bana")

(Look at his small smile!!!)

(You go give the bare minimum, King!!!)

I play in the Japanese dub, so it's amusing to hear Ito Kent's take of a usually monotone Dan Heng being forced to say bana, bana in that serious monotone ToT

imagnarium theatre, my beloved. every dialogue is incredibly suspicious. thanks for the lore crumbs

[cheezyharu]

Happy 1000 posts to this account lol, man that’s a lotta posts XD

Impulse designing got the better of me again… anyways here’s my interpretation of Akivili from Honkai Star Rail

Based on Pom-pom (beta + current) and Stelle and Caelus's design. More under cut, since my brainrot was pretty bad I’ll put it under there.

Weapon, thanks to @skyward-current for the idea of making smth based on a telescope. So 8 ish hours struggling later we got this thing, which is supposed to be a telescope that doubles as a blaster. This doesn't give telescope vibes but this will do for now. Yeah I suck at weapon designing man, never got used to these mfs after all these years :V

Battle poses/concept. If Akivili were to be playable, I wanna bet them to be Fire/Trailblaze, or at least Fire/Destruction if Hoyo wants to stick to the main 7 playable paths (although I HOPE they'll make them an exception) I tried to make something that fits the telescope blaster thing I tried to design, but then I still wanna keep my original idea for their battle somehow (chucking the Astral Express at the enemy) so bam that's their ult now :/

Anyways babbling time-

I highly doubt that Akivili is even dead, lost after some event sure, but something tells me they're not dead. For all we know this mf could be vibing in the Sea of Quanta or smth. I'm sure at some point in HSR plot we'll meet/become the Trailblaze at some point in the future. Definitely really later on like.. say 5.0 ish or later.

As for personality, I wanna say they're the most... Humane/moral of all Aeons due to being the one that surrounds themself with mortals the most often. Cause let's be real here: there are literal documents in HSR stating that Akivili is known to live alongside humans. This is also why my design is very human, with some small details that try to differentiate them from mortals.

Well back to personality, I feel like Akivili is very outgoing to everyone, Nameless and strangers alike, but also very reckless. Like they give off doing it despite knowing it's dangerous vibes to me, but I think that's just me associating Stelle and Caelus to the Trailblaze too often.

... Oh now that I think abt it, should I give them more bird features? I read on the wiki that Akivili could represent a word meaning "eagle" or smth ...

[haunted-xander]

Hsr age headcanons except I also explain my reasonings bc I read everyones lore to get it more accurate.

(Also, a few things to note that will be relevant to my explainations: Some of these I'm not 100% certain of the age groups I put them in here, so some might not be as specific. Blade will be considered his age prior to being mara-struck for the sake of this post. Imbibitor Lunae is a stand in for Dan Feng.)

Let's begin, shall we?

Child (6-12)

Hook: I believe she's around 7-8. She's very obviously a kid, but I don't think she's like, a toddler or anything. She's smart enought to pull the clever little tricks she does, and has enough awareness to understand some harder topics (like Fersman's declining health and the reality of her birth parent's deaths).

Clara: I originally figured she was around 14 or so, but since one of her stories claim she's of similar age to Hook, and one of Hook's stories has her note Clara is a few years older than her, I think I'd put her around 11-12. Maaaaaybe 10, but that feels a bit too young for her.

Early to mid teens (13-17)

Arlan: Probably around 17 or so. We know he's younger than Asta, who met him when he was a kid and offered him a job for her family, and she also mentions that she took him in during her companion mission. Herta also says in her voice line about him that he's probably one of the "exceptionally gifted" kids Asta gave money to.

Lynx: She's much younger than Gepard and Serval, obviously, but she's also probably around the same age as Pela (who is confirmed to be 16) given how close they are and how they interact. Her companion mission also largely revolves around her trying to escape her older siblings protectiveness, which I feel is relatable to a lot of teens lol.

Late teen (18-19)

Silver Wolf: Tbh I don't have any solid justification for this, mostly just vibes. She's definitely younger than Kafka, but other than that I don't really have much to go off of. Probably 19, but I could see her maybe being early 20s too.

Guinaifen: I'm not completely sure about this one tbh. She's definitely a teenager, she says she's close to but not yet an adult to Bailu after we chase her and the Heliobus possessing her. She's also very close friends with Sushang, (who is confirmed to be around 16-17) so it makes sense for Gui to be a similar age too. The thing that's tripping me up is that one of her stories says she spent all her teenage years on the planet she lived on prior to coming to the Luofu, which would make her 19 at minimum. It could also just be exaggerating, or not counting 18 & 19 as teen years (that one seems unlikely though).

Young adult (20+)

Trailblazer: Well, obviously, Trailblazer is actually like a few months old at most seeing as we start the game by being "born" but, ya know. They're treated as an adult by everyone around them, not to mention they're clearly meant to be around the same age as March and Dan Heng, who are also depicted as adults (Dan Heng has been seen drinking in official art, for example). I think maybe like, around 20-22 would fit.

March: There's what I mentioned previously of course (being close in age to Trailblazer and Dan Heng), but the whole "girls like me/my age all like this and this" thing is a very typical mindset of late teens & very young adults. The way she talks about taking pictures of food in one of her stories also sound very much like how a young adult would explain it lolol. Like Trailblazer, probably around 20-22. Tbh I'm not sure how to explain my reasoning when basing it off of her behaviour without it sounding like I'm saying all girls her age do this, I'm not 😅 but it is common enough I feel like it adds to her feeling that age, ya know?

Asta: As mentioned with Arlan, we know she's notably older than him. I would say her position on the space station means she has a decent amount of life experience for her to do it so well, but this is Hoyoverse and anyone can do anything regardless of age, so that doesn't really work lol. That said, she clearly has had the position for a long time, so even if she wasn't an adult when she started, she definitely should be now. Probably around 23-24.

Bronya: She's been in the Silvermane Guards for long enough to be well-known and trusted for her skills, and with how easily she took up the position of Supreme Guardian, she has a lot of public faith and trust as well. She needs to have been serving for a good amount of years, to get all that. That said, I do think she started young, so I'd put her at around early-to-mid 20s. probably around 23-24 like Asta.

Seele: Canonicly around the same age as Bronya, so probably about 23-24 again.

Luka: Not much concrete to go off of, but he's probably around the same age as Seele given their interactions. He's also obviously an adult, or Hook would've dropped the 'honourary' part and just make him a proper Mole lolol. Around 23-24 again.

Topaz: In her voice line about Bronya she says they're around the same age. March also notes that she's pretty young for an executive, and her character stories explain that she started working for the IPC at a VERY young age. Probably around 23-24 yet again.

Adult (30+)

Sampo: He's a notorious scammer who's being doing his work in Belobog for a long enough time to become notorious, so him being in his 30s seems likely. I don't have any other reasoning besides that, really. probably around mid 30s, like 35-36 or something.

Himeko: She had already finished college when she found the express, so she was already an adult then. It's been many years since then, so she's definitely not some young 20-something year old lolol. probably mid-to-late 30s, like 37-38 or the like.

Gepard: Mid-to-late 30s. He's younger than Serval, so he's below 40 (not that I really thought he was middle-aged anyway) and he's probably older than Bronya, as in one of her stories he comforts her after the first death to happen under her leadership, clearly having already gotten used to it. Also, apparently he has a bachelor's degree? (According to the fandom wiki's trivia section). Anyway. Around 37-38 probably.

Luocha: I couldn't really find anything that indicates anything in particular, so I'm just gonna say he's mid 30s based off of vibes alone. Like 35-36 or something.

Kafka: Her age is only ever stated as "unknown" and, like Luocha, I couldn't find anything that indicates anything in particular. So I'm just gonna say she's mid-to-late 30s like Himeko and call it a day. 37-38.

Argenti: His character stories show a variety of different scenes throughout his journey as a Kmight of Beauty, so he has experienced a great deal. Mid 30s, probably. Like 35-36. I don't have much else to go off of.

Middle aged and beyond (40+)

Herta: We know she's like, really old. Like really really old. I don't know exactly HOW old, but old. I think she's still within a human lifespan though, so maybe like 70-80 or something. Physically speaking though, she herself states that her current puppet body looks "70% like I did as a child" so. Yeah. Baby grandma.

Natasha: She raised Seele and was the main caretaker at the orphanage she grew up in, so she ain't exactly young (despite what hyvs aversion to portraying older people properly will tell you). Probably late 40s to early 50s. 49-50 maybe.

Serval: Canonicaly the same age as Cocolia, who raised Bronya for most of her life. Bronya also recognizes Serval as Cocolia's old friend from when she was a child. Mid-to-late 40 probably. 45-46 maybe.

Blade: Yingxing is refered to as 'middle-aged' in-game at around the time it all went down, and he's shown with visible aging and with grayed hair (that is, assuming Blade's current black hair is his natural haircolor?). Probably late 40s, like 48-49 or something.

Canon age

Pela: 16, as stated by Lynx in her & Lynx's companion mission. People have pointed out that this is a plot hole due to other information we have about Pela, but 1) the only thing that goes against this is the claim she was a founding member of Serval's band, which I can 100% believe is either a mistranslation or a case of a writer not cross-referencing properly. (also, I don't remember where this is ever claimed in-game, so if anyone can point me to it I'd appreciate it.) And 2) her being a teen makes more sense with how she's written, imo, so I don't really care if it's actually a plot hole.

Sushang: One of her stories says she's "around 16 to 17 years old". Obviously, this isn't her REAL age since she's a Xianzhou native, but it is the age she is equivalent to for a short-life species.

Welt: 80+. He arrived in the hsr universe at the time of APHO, which takes place in 2025. Since Welt was born in 1947, this would make him 78. While we don't know exactly how long he's been here, he seems to have been here a quite a while, so, 80+ it is.

Long-life species

(equivalent to) Child (6-12)

Bailu: She's been described as a child many, many times, including by herself (multiple times). Although she's probably older than she looks, as both she and several others remark that she has trouble growing bigger for some unknown reason. I'd say maybe around 10-11.

(equivalent to) Early to mid teen (13-17)

Qingque: She reads to me like a 14 year old being forced to take up a summer job by her parents because 'you need to get experience so you can get a job easier when you're older!'. Actually I think that's literally what's going on except summer jobs don't exist on the Luofu so now she has a full-time job at 14 years old. Yeah I don't actually have anything else to go off of other than the level of control her parents have over her life.

Yanqing: His character stories say he is 1) not yet of age (so below 18) and 2) a teenager. Very simple. Not sure why people are arguing about his age so much when it literally says right there in the game that he is a teenage boy. Probably 15.

Huohuo: Honestly not much to go off of. Probably around 14, based solely on vibes.

(equivalent to) Young adult (20+)

Dan Heng: Depicted as a young adult of similar age to Trailblazer and March, as mentioned previously. Pretty simple. That said, I do want to note that one of Blade's stories describe him as a teen. But, based on the way it's written, this seems to be Blade's first encounter with him, so it's probably not accurate to Dan Heng's current age.

Tingyun: Her stories describe her as pretty young, but the way she carried herself and the sort of businesses she did makes me think she was at least 20. Like 20-21 probably.

Fu Xuan: Once again, not much concrete to go off of. Her stories give me the impression she joined the divination comission rather young, and I think she's been the master diviner for quite a while now. Maybe early 20s, like 22-23 or something.

(equivalent to) Adult (30+)

Dan Feng: We don't really know how old Dan Feng was when everything went down other than that he was older than Dan Heng is currently. I'd put him in mid 30s, solely on vibes. I mean, he got engaged and quite literally made a child, so I'd say 30 fits. Ignoring the fact neither of those things have much to do with his age at all. 34-35 maybe.

Hanya: Honestly I have no clue and her stories just confused me. She has the vibes of a 30-something year old so I put her here. My view on her age will probably change once Xueyi is out if only bc I might be able to figure Xueyi's age out better and Hanya would then be somewhere under that.

(equivalent to) Middle aged and beyond (40+)

Jing Yuan: Listen. He's seen shit. He has lived a long ass time. And it's canon he basically raised Yanqing, he's a dad ya'll. probably early-to-mid 40s, like 44-45 maybe. I don't know.

Yukong: She's old. Like actually old. Technically much younger than Jing Yuan, but since foxians lifespans are shorter than other long-life species, she's equivalent to a lot older than he is. She's 249 and foxians live up to 300. She's OLD. I'd say she's like 70 or something.

Jingliu: Also old. She's like, 2000 years old or something, she's a grandma. Probably equivalent to up to 80-something. Except she looks 30 bc Mara. And also long-life species don't actually age past a certain point, so she physically is not capable of looking above 30.

[princewinter15]

thinking about how the aeons in hsr really feel similar to the entities from tma... like just the vibes of them being so mysterious, powerful, and untouchable with a dash of them being Utterly Eldritch is a+ for me

like. and some of them correspond really well to certain entities

nanook - the slaughter (also could work as desolation or extinction but i feel like the legion makes them more slaughter adjacent)

lan - the hunt (fucking duh)

yaoshi - the flesh (yaoshi's deal just reminds me of jared's gym tbh)

aha - the spiral (something about aha's origin as witnessing the empty horror of existence and then just laughing about it feels SO spiral to me. could also be stranger with the whole mask motif tho)

oroboros - the hunt (shared with lan because while lan's definitely the kind of hunt that daisy and the vampire hunters had, with the sense of misplaced justice fueling bloodshed, oroboros is the more animalistic fear of being eaten)

tayzzyronth - the corruption (bc the corruption has two major themes - filth + toxic love. a creature that created a plague of insect monsters out of sheer loneliness rly fits this. could also be the lonely but im feeling more corruption tbh)

terminus - the end (It's Literally Fucking Named Terminus)

IX - the extinction (yeah. could also be the lonely but mostly extinction)

fuli - the eye (their followers literally just spend all their existences gathering memories from people like. fr)

nous - the eye (they're both equally eye-aligned tbh)

mythus - the dark (literally came into existence in order to prevent nous from knowing everything which works very well with the whole thing the dark and the eye have going on)

akivili - the vast (funnily enough as much as akivili gives me vast vibes i feel like their existence sort of counteracts the vast lol)

thats all ive got so far but like. im so tmabrained about everything

[discodiscodemon]

i'm tryna draw a honkai star rail x bullet train thing.. now i'm kinda curious

what would tangerine and lemon's path + element be?? i have a couple ideas but i'm not sure LOL

tangerine would def be Destruction because well. his personality + line of work, but for his element?? i'm not so sure only considering the fact that we don't have much of an explanation as to what exactly gives a character their element.. but if i had to i think his would be Imaginary

as for lemon, i could do that "oh lol they're sorta twins" thing and give him the opposite of Imaginary i.e. Quantum (which i do think fits) but as for his path i'm not really sure! something like Erudition came to mind at first, but then i was like "well i don't know how much logic he uses in that case" but then ALSO. i forgot The Hunt existed, and i guess he could fall under that!

as for the others.... maybe some other time when i feel like drawing them because right now i need to get started on giving the twins some sick outfits (and by that i mean give them Slightly Altered versions of their regular ones to fit the vibes of the HSR universe)

[boss-the-goofball]

MINA AS THE TRAILBLAZER IS SO PERFECT YES!!! let the alien queen have a space adventure! Nana has such Himiko vibes (aka mom vibes) and Shoto and Toshinori round out the group so perfectly.

also izuku being afos next incantation is very funny.

- same anon from earlier thank you so much for replying I love your ideas! I may just have to make some awful fanart be warned 💫

Ironically it was trying to figure out who would fit nicely in a pseudo-March 7th role that I came to Mina as the Trailblazer; when @chaosphoniex here tried to suggest Mina for March when I was already starting to settle on Shoto

So I decided to let Mina have the Trailblazer role

I actually had to dig a little into HI3rd because I knew there was the very likely speculation that Welt in HSR is the same Welt from HI3rd and wanted to verify something with Himeko- and that's what sold me to put Nana in that role with Old Man Yagi in the Welt role because Welt is basically the dad for everyone; including Himeko.

Izuku was where I first drafted this because I knew I wanted to have him be a Vidyadhara, however I did not want to have Yoichi as his past life because a lot of people like to make Izuku into some kind of reincarnation of Yoichi or someone else important to AfO in some fashion.

Plus I wanted to have another AU where AfO is perma-dead and not coming back lol

[crguang]

So about my OC tbh they're really recent so I'm not sure about a name/path/element lmao BUT I do know that I want them to be a Stellaron Hunter (I just think they're really cool and interesting, I legit have no other reason) Can't add pics as anon so instead I humbly present you with an imgur link lol

https://imgur.com/a/I6h7Mef

It was supposed to be a guy at first but as I thought about it more I think it would be sexy af if it was a woman instead.. Daydreaming in the bus earlier gave me ideas so while I'm still deciding I'll just use they/them pronouns lol

Outfit is subject to change to something fancier but I was thinking they might be a bit stealthier than the others (lol they don't give a FUCK about being seen and getting big bounties) so that's why the outfit is less noticeable. Idea is that on the left is during mission and on the right is the more casual/civilian look if that makes sense

Also I love freckles, I think they always look good on anyone/any character that has them and since this is HSR and anything is possible I said fuck it and give me fancy sparkly gold freckles.

But yeah, would love to hear what vibes they give off for you ! No need to think about it too hard lol no pressure but I would be open to element/path suggestions lmao

(I was listening to Sweater Weather on repeat while making that second drawing which is why they look absolutely lovesick.. lol)(That's how I look at your Kafka posts btw 😏😌🙏)

Oh and speaking of Sweater Weather ! Your Kafka fic where she takes us to see the ocean (absolute banger btw I often go back and reread it) absolutely reminds me of that song so now when I hear it I think of your work lmao

Alright I'm done yapping haha, have a great day

-🔥

FIRST OF ALLLLL YOUR ART IS GORGEOUS?????! they look absolutely amazing, the gold freckles are such a beautiful touch. i love your choice of design, it’s giving assassin lol.

the stellaron hunters’ dynamic is so fun bc they have different goals and personalities so im curious to know how your oc would fit in! my first thought was that they look like an imaginary character but for the path it’s more difficult to say since it has to do with their personality and what they believe in. it’d be nice too cause theres no imaginary stellaron hunter so far. let me know what you end up choosing!!!

and you associating that fic with sweater weather is so precious omggggg. it’s such a good song im super flattered🫶🏾

[idyllic-affections]

HIII 🐌

xiao is a great favourite character!! i remember he was the first character that i really wanted to get and then i got qiqi. so...

his chinese va is so good! his voice is much softer and idk it fits him more? like, it's a completely different vibe compared to the english translation.

YANQING!! he is also my favourite hsr character!! he's just a little guy, i love him. i'm hoping to either lose my 50/50 on him, or just pick him as my free 5 star because i need my silly little sword dude.

and awww jinx is a cute name for a cat! (you and aph having the same cat name is a pretty cool coincidence ngl.)

as for your questions, i have a bad habit of buying books and not reading them, so i have a few books that i've gotten recently. my favourite media is bungou stray dogs (as also mentioned in 🦢's ask lol) and i think if i had to pick a favourite animal i'd say cat. specifically my cat. she's a menace but i love her.

HAJSHAKAHJAG ⭐️ ANON IS JUST LIKE ME FR..... i have sooo many books i haven't read yet. help /lh

[daz4i]

ok so their name is chance bc hsr names are silly like that and it fits their theme

they have fucked up luck 👍 it fluctuates between extremely good and extremely bad when they least expect it

aha saw this and went "oh this is gonna be hilarious" and made them immortal. in my file abt them i describe it as "kenny mccormick style" lol as in when they die they just wake up fine the next day (but here ppl don't forget abt their death. bc it allows them to pull better pranks). they do retain scars from their deaths, but these fade away with time. they're a relatively new immortal, maybe like 100-200ish years old atp

they're a masked fool and thus are ofc silly and goofy. however also very sad. it's kind of unclear if they actually worship aha or if they're just Coping with their inescapable reality. as you do

story wise i'm. not sure where to put them. ik they live in penacony rn bc no pain 🙌 bc otherwise they literally always are in pain (retaining scars also means retaining the pain of what caused them!). they're genenrally a traveler tho :3 also since i literally originally made them for the purpose of self shipping they LOVE to annoy veritas. i think they found him there while he was on his mission and kinda latched onto him (also following the hc/theory that he's an emanator of elation against his will bc it's funny and sexy and cool. and chance is as well. so.) i do terribly want to make up a story abt these two, maybe getting into a Situation bc of a burst of chance's bad luck and having to make it out of there together and bonding in the process idk.

gameplay wise, they're a destruction unit, and are a mix of their Things aka luck and being unable to die (they CAN die but they might come back with 1 hp. with a limit of how often/how many times it can happen too ofc). their skill can do one of 6 effects i will not get into, 3 or 4 of them are solid (that 4th one depends on your playstyle and teammates ig), 1 or 2 are kinda meh (again. the second one depends. first one has a lower chance [ha] tho dw), and one is REALLY good but only has a 1% chance to trigger

originally i planned for them to be a physical character bc bleed 👍 but i started analyzing what each element means recently and came to the conclusion that they don't fit the bill so i'm considering fire, or possibly lightning bc eh idk i like hsr's lightning characters (and other elements don't fit either bc of their own meanings or just bc of vibes). fire does fit their aesthetic more tho :P open for your own takes if you have any btw 🫡

speaking of! here's art of them that my boyfriend made awhile ago :] (and yes i did already upload that)

ngl i did not have a design in mind i just told her to go nuts and by god she delivered 🙏

white eye is injured, and it mmmmight heal with time like their other scars? but i'm not sure

aaaaand i think that's all i have about them :3 (that's not a part of an au 👀) hope you like my silly little guy i am currently having fun making them kiss mr dr truth 👍

do you guys wanna hear about my hsr self insert. they're like if nikolai, deadpool, and komaeda had a kid and that kid was (naturally) the most annoying guy in the universe

[f-ngrl]

Daytona Entertainment

... is growing so quickly, I have to take notes :D

2020. 11. 25. Establishment of the company (Co-CEOs : The Quiett, 염따) # 2020. 12. 03. Member Futuristic Swaver joins # 2021. 01. 02. Member MELOH joins # 2021. 01. 29. Member BRADYSTREET joins # 2021. 03. 12. Member Skinny Brown joins #

What distinguishes Daytona Ent from other labels is that they do not want to present themselves as a group or a team, but rather focus on each artist’s individual talents and colors. There will be no group activities like concerts or Dingo Freestyle contents. The reason for this is that artists in labels that do have joint activities, the artists might feel pressured to have to act they like are closer than they actually are.

(In my opinion, that’s a good thing, because the artists can just focus on their music and pick their collaborating artists more freely. I think for Ambition Musik members, it is/was a bit of a struggle how most of them are introverts who only meet few very close friends regularly, but fans expect them to present a happy family, and The Quiett wanted to avoid that pressure for his artists this time.)

The latest update was that two artists who joined the military together will be signed, and it was rumored to be either Skinny Brown and TOIL or Skinny Brown and Jayci yucca, but now only Skinny Brown was revealed, so there might be another artist revealed soon! So far, it’s been about one artist every month, so it might not be too long...

Some of my personal guesses for possible new artists with reasons (I might be wrong but guessing is fun). (As we can see, Daytona artists are all already well-established underground artists who have been making music on their own and not super young (25yo and older), they are not kids who still need to be raised/guided a lot, and that’s the main characteristic I’ll be going with):

TOIL or Jayci yucca, because the article said so :D But for TOIL I thought it’s not so likely because 1) The Q doesn’t like signing producers lol and 2) TOIL has been loving the money, and he won’t have to share that if he stays independent IF IT ISN’T (plot twist) money he got from getting signed haha. For Jayci I’m not sure, he seemed fine releasing tons of albums and MVs independently, but maybe he wouldn’t oppose to signing either. I haven’t seen him working or being in contact with either of the CEOs though.

GI$T/GIST - he’s been around for a while, The Quiett LOVES him and always masters his albums (like he used to for Leella wink wink; GIST is also known as one of The Q’s sons). Gist is very talented at singwriting, singing and rapping (even though he seems to prefer not to rap anymore lately). He’s young but he’s got it all. He has worked with some of the other members before, too. And for a long time, he was rumored most likely to be the next artist to get signed to Ambition.

JAEHA - same actually with the singing and talent, haha. He’s only 17 but a melody genius and people are starting to realize it. He released 2 albums all by himself already and expressed in an interview that all the attention is already too much for him to handle. Now that he’s on HSR, that attention and pressure will even increase, so it would be nice to see him in a label where people take care of things like selling and shipping physical albums, contacting distributors, managing promotions etc, so he can focus on music and school. He might be too young or early in his career, though - it might be a bit weird to get signed (and therefore being on the same level so quickly) to the same label as Futuristic Swaver who is like his role model and mentor, so they might opt against him.

Ourealgoat - what can I say, he’s been working his butt off in 2020 and 2021. He only started rapping in 2018 while he was in the military, then learned producing because beats are expensive, and has been releasing album after album since late 2019. His unique rap style and thoughtful lyrics got him recognized by The Quiett and Yumdda as well as Groovyroom and Jay Park, in my imagination they are fighting over him :D I think he is a candidate for AREA too, but I’d prefer seeing him in Daytona. Even though he fits the “clean”, “good boy” vibe that h1ghr is giving off to me, I think in Daytona he will have more freedom (for example in staying close with his crew, keeping on working primarily with them if the wants that).

Kid Wine. He, too, has been around for a LONG time, is close with Wayside (who have members in both Ambition and Daytona - just look at his album features: they’re almost all wysd members or ppl VERY close to them like D-Hack and Yongyong - and also The Q himself). He’s also known to be one of The Quiett’s “sons” and he’s a producer, rapper, and singer, one of those multi-talented people. He produced Fadeaway, one of last year’s top hits.

ChaMane. Actually, I don’t know him well, I only discovered him quite recently. I found him on a list for The Q’s sons so that’s why he’s here :D He was on Raphouse on Air recently and has worked with Kid Wine and GIST, and The Q too but that’s a while ago.

- I don’t really know where to look for KHH rumors in Korean, and there is nothing in English, so maybe I’m overseeing some obvious candidates. These are just some of my faves who I happened to have been following closely enough to make these kind of connections :D If anyone wants to discuss, please do!
