#my original blorbo duo

[soothedcerberus]

Gentle flames Gentle rains [image description: Watercolor and pencil art of Amaterasu and Issun against a black background. Ammy is posed on her back, looking as though she and Issun are suspended in the air together. She has a gentle smile as she looks up at the small sprite, who is almost touching her nose. Bright green and turquoise light shines off of him. Flames from Divine Retribution curl around them and frame the art. 

The second photo is more watercolor and pencil art of Amaterasu and Issun. Ammy has been shrunk so she is the same size as Issun. Surrounded by foliage, a gentle rain falls upon them, spilling off of the leaves. They are standing close but Issun is shielding only Ammy from the rain with a leaf umbrella. They both look happy.

local girl realises that instead of having to make an au into a 50k ordeal of a fic they can just write their favourite scene and go

[amerricanartwork]

I got so freaking excited seeing the trailer for "The Wild Robot", so naturally some fanart was in order! I didn't expect the painting to look so oily and have so many softer edges, but I still think it came out really nice and was good practice! Colored pencil really has helped me figure out a personal painting process, as here I actually used a similar layering technique as when I work in colored pencil.

Aside from that though, I haven't read the books yet (though I plan to after I see the film) but this movie looks like it's gonna hit so many of my favorite tropes and features when it comes to fiction and animated stories, including: non-human protagonists (and both of my favorite kinds, animals and robots!), stylized visuals, robot learning to be more than just their programming yet still maintaining their original robot skills and behavior to a degree, robot with emotions and unique ways of showing it, character in the wilds adapting by studying the animals, post-industrial-level technology existing in harmony with nature and the wilds rather than being portrayed as inherently harmful to nature and therefore inherently wrong to make (this is a big one for me), the odd duo, the gentle giant, a character finding belonging in an unexpected environment, just general wonder for the beauty of the wilds, and probably other things that'll come to me as I understand this story more.

But even beyond that, I just had to draw Roz because she's so freaking cute! Like, even excluding the adorable way she mimics the animals or glows when happy or how her "eyelids" give her more facial variation, in design alone she's so round and sweet looking! And somehow her being big and bulky to juxtapose her kindness with an strong and imposing stature just makes it even better! I love characters who are large and intimidating at first glance but total softies on the inside. Brightbill's definitely in good hands!

If the film holds up and Roz also has a clear and entertaining personality beyond just being curious and caring, there's a 60% chance that come September she'll become my new robot blorbo (roblorbo?), up there with C-3PO, Wall-E, and Five Pebbles!

Also, another version of the sketches from when they were just the lines for comparison!

Captain Kiss of the 343rd

Blorbo of my own creation. Whom i love and adore. Who didn’t survive the war to let her assigned gender get in the way

Text under cut 💜

 AKA, Kisses (Duo), Capin' (The twins), Smooch (DT). The name Kiss comes from the kiss curls that frame her face. She styles these baby hairs, and paints curls on her bucket to match, along with teeth on her armour to resemble her beloved pet and service Massiff, Mooch. Captain of the 343 company on Naboo in the Lake Country.  Not to be confused with the sprawling fields and grand estates. This troop guard an outpost a few clicks from Auroa, a ranching village, as a look out for oncoming ground/swamp infiltration attempts. If the senators living it up in the Lake Country or the capital of Theed are under any threat, they'll know about it first, so its mostly surveillance and scouting work.

Kiss was originally designed to be a CC unit, but as a cadet crying too much saw her reconditioned and transplanted into a CT batch that had just lost a cadet in training. Crying is still difficult if not impossible for Kiss, who comes off as tough and aloof but feels things deeply. Kiss was deployed as heavy infantry to Geonosis in the first clone trooper assault, and took over as Captain of the company she was in when their Captain died. The role would remain hers for a time until she was struck down by a mortar shell that almost took her jaw. The wound would be cosmetic but the implant to replace the structure of her cheek and the horror of being unable to breathe or speak for so long would have lasting effects. But she's a good soldier, and despite the few and far between episodes, she is exemplary, but the danger of her doing so during battle is too much of an unknown that she is inevitably shipped to Naboo to aid the Naboo Royal Guard in protecting the mid-rim edge planet. A somewhat menial task for a would be perfect soldier. But it wouldn't be all bad. Mooch would be assigned to her as a pup.

Mooch was too docile to be an attack massiff but showed talent in being a service dog. When they met, the pup was able to detect an oncoming attack in Kiss and pawed at her until she complied with her demands.

Kiss would join two other clones in being the first clones to request transition. And seeing as her involvement in the war was considered to have little impact, two years in, she was approved. With her identity known to higher ranking clones. She would aid in the transfer and protection of other "Obsolete" or "faulty" clones. Some would stay with her and name themselves the 343 company in her honour.

Bonus: Nabooen locals worship a goddess called Hemeela. A goddess of bounty and beauty, known to take many forms but to be a brave fighter and mother. 

Upon discovering this deity, Kiss made her identity known to her vode and now lives as a woman adopting markings that match scars Hemeela received in her battle against the all-consuming Jutorus. 

She is in a constant debate with Duo about the nature of her weight. Hormones are new to her and have changed the distribution of fat much to her delight but to Duo's despair as they state "A fat ass isn't regulation." Much to Kiss’s despair.

You have a Skylander OC as well ??!! :33 me to !! I would like to enquire about your blorbo

okay so 😭 I have more than one Blorbo!! The one you’re referring to from the previous ask is my horrible son Freezer Burn

But he is unfortunately not on my mind a lot 😔 the award goes to the next 4 losers

first and foremost my lovely Rain Day, an angry and gloomy individual who hates everyone but her exuberant daughter who whom is the light to her bitter life (I have yet to flesh out the daughter tho 😭) but she became a Skylander to help keep innocent children like her daughter safe

then you have Fireburst, she’s a fire giant that fills out a big metal suit of armor (though the hole she’s blown up in it lets the rain in) she is loud, violent and brighter than necessary, she became a Skylander because she likes to fight, and wants a reason to do it that doesn’t land her in jail

Then we have Sun Pounder and Venus Snatcher!! my favourite dynamic duo 😈 they’re both life Trap Masters. Sun was originally a normal plant that was later mutated and changed by a remote mad scientist, she’s quiet and built like a wall and likes to brawl, no one knows why she fights for good, but damn they’re glad she’s on their side. Then there’s Venus Snatcher!! Who is someone who likes hunting people down and trapping them for the fun of it, her morals are dubious bc she’s in it for the thrill, but she’s here bc villains are the most fun to trap

[evil-mcytblrconfessions]

honestly i just wanted to make a confessions blog. i have no clue if this is an original or even acceptable idea (im sorry if its not. thats why im not linking this to my main haha)

AHEM. do you love @mcytblrconfessions (unaffiliated)? do you get sad when they turn their asks off because theyve got a fucktonne of them (which is very valid, this is not me being upset at them for doing so)? do you wish that said blog was run by one (1) unstable dsmp fan who definitely doesnt write hermitcraft rpf? well too bad for you about that last one.

THIS IS THE BLOG WHERE ALL OF THAT IS REAL! why is this evil? i dont fucking know; it just is. send in all of your confessions (vaguely) related to mcyt! honestly if you send in something completely unrelated but i find it funny ill still post it bcs idk why not

i am fully expecting to just fucking die within a week. tumblrs already ruined my mental health; lets go for round 2 WOOOO

im your host cedar (pronounced like cheddar) and welcome to making bad decisions with me !

actually important stuff (im gonna pin this post):

- we do polls now apparently. add the 🗳️ emoji to your ask and yeah a poll will appear

- i will be stealing parts of mcytblrconfessions tagging system. PARTS.

- this blogs asks will be open WHENEVER mcytblrconfessions asks are closed. no matter how many asks i have in the inbox. theyll be thrown in queue and answered whenever.

- this blog is only evil because its funny ! please do not be a deplorable person! do not send in things such as: discourse-related, nsfw, drama/ragebaiting, being a fucking weirdo. just. yeah, use common sense please <3 there is non-zero chance that i will just block you <3

- PLEASE mention at least once the thing/person youre talking abt so i can tag it correctly! this doesnt rly apply to duo names or ships, youre fine just mentioning their names and ill tag the proper group or ship. this applies to ccs and series. i dont know which blorbo or series youre talking abt unless you SPECIFY! even if ive demonstrably shown that i know what the thing is, SPECIFY! i am not telepathic yet. (does not apply to being intentionally ominous/vague.)

- yes thats a squishmallow in the pfp; hir name is éloïse.

[s-wave-entertainment]

Looked back into episode 7 today. If you haven't watched it for whatever reason, ehhhh maybe hold off on this for now, but I noticed something and I don't know what to make of it. So I bring it to you, oh Tumblr audience!

Okay so while "Tessa" was down in the... holding chamber hallway? Idk the place with all the lockers with the different drones' numbers on them that she blew up, I was feeling appreciative for the clarity of this episode and how vivid it was in comparison to the earlier episodes. But before I could get too sentimental over it, I got a look at he computer area at the end of the hall. I knew there was a picture there before, but I hadn't paid it much mind until today, when I mistook it for a picture of the Elliots. It isn't, but I think it's something much more interesting:

The whole screenshot, and the picture as clear as I could make it. What we're looking at here is very clearly two drones with the word "HELP" scrawled across the center in blood. Blood on its own already raises a few questions about this for me, but I'm more curious about the two drones pictured. As far as we the audience know, there was only one successful duo in the CFL project - Nori and Yeva. But I acknowledge that

A) There's a lot of info about Project Cabin Fever (PCF) we don't know, and

B) This picture is incredibly unclear and it could be neither of those drones.

Those things aside... why the PICTURE in the first place? This is framed at the end of the hallway where all of the subjects were held. Why? As an example? Symbol of pride? Warning?

I don't mean to start any crazy theory here, I just noticed this today and my curiosity was piqued. I'm of the opinion that MD will likely have a second season, and I hope I'm right - not just for more content of our favorite robot blorbos, but also because I am insanely curious about the origins of PCF. That's all, good day and safe travels!

[ayyyyysexual]

suggestion as someone who knows the Bare Minimum about slay the princess, hear me out:

gempearl au?

I wrote all this ages ago and it was just sat in my drafts for forever so here y'all go:

Oh my god glow dont make me think about this bc ill actually start going feral.

THE LOOPING COULD BE SO INTERESTING WITH GEM'S CANONICAL DIMENSION HOPPING...

Okay. Okay. In depth thoughtd below the cut but it will be both 1. Spoilery 2. Lowkey incomprehensible if you dont know much about the game LMAO

First off, I think Cleo would be the narrator. Why, you ask? Because its MY au and I get to put my blorbos where i want. But if im being fr then its bc she has i think the perfect combo of exhausted britishness, willingness to manipulate and lie, and overall just the Vibe to fit the narrator. Bonus points if they're a fractured version of time witch cleo from WCSMP.

And then... THE VOICES. THIS IS WHAT I IMMEDIATELY SNAG ON. Would the voices be different people, or potentially just alternate versions of Gem? Also yes ive decided gem is the protag and pearl is the princess but thats bc my original knee jerk reaction was "gem is the princess (esmp2 gem was a fave) and pearl is the hero" but then i thought harder and went waittt i love shapeshifter pearl and dimension hopper gem. I can work with that.

Anyway yeah im thinking different people for the voices, but I'd probably give gem her own internal dialogue alongside it bc it'd be less interesting if she was just the vehicle for the plot in this au. I'll probably have her be both the actual 'hero' character and voice of the hero, for simplicity.

The first ones to come to mind are false as the voice of the paranoid, because she is my #1 paranoia rep i love her, and grian as voice of the contrarian bc he fucking would.

Potentially joel as voice of the cheated, or stubborn? If we do bring wcsmp elements in then prismarina would make a great voice of the cheated too LMAO. So, Joel for voice of the stubborn

Scar is Very voice of the opportunist. And obviously the witch is double life pearl. Which is so perfect?? Like goddamn???? Especially bc i love dl sunflower duo. AND THE INTERNAL DIALOGUE VIBE WOULD BE ALMOST LIKE IF GEM AND SCAR WERE ALLIED AGAINST PEARL AT THE END OF SECRET LIFE

Broken is hard to pick a voice for, maybe mumbo? but the tower would Definitely lean into Santa Perla and the farmer god esmp2 stuff. I could see him being like "oh well it would probably be for the best if we just listen to the giant god lady who could crush us, right?"

Hunted... I was unsure for a while but maybe Shrub? Wolf spirit shrub would be rlly fun for that. And ig the beast would be some form of alien s9 pearl? OR we could lean into the more monstery salmon/siren/merfolk s10 pearl stuff

Cold could be Cub, i dont know much about him but he seems very chill and pragmatic enough for me to push to the extreme here

Skeptic... My mind has gone entirely blank for this one... ETHO MAYBE i can see etho for this. I have no idea what pearl version would work for the prisoner though

Smitten....... maybe shelby? Specifically great witch Shelby. Idk i think her whole vibe around katherine could be translated into what we need here. plus i love giving crumbs to yuri rarepairs- OR i could lean into santa perla again here and have it as sausage kinda worshipping an idealised person of the past pearl he loved (though not romantically, to me at least), which could work for a damsel variant?

anyway i dont wanna get Super into the major spoilers for stp so i wont elaborate much further, but goddd im so normal about this concept

[sixsamefacez]

BAND AU MATSUNO HCs‼️‼️‼️

honestly they're very new so i don't have like. a Ton of ideas yet and kinda make shit up as i go but ido have a few hcs buzzing around

namely that this is (personally) the only version of osomatsu i could see being bisexual HDSHRGIUREHGIU and it suuperrr plays into like. how opehn the sibs are about their identities. and ruby doesn't try to act like an asshole, he's actually a pretty responsible leader and a brother figure they all look up to. their dynamics are quite the same as they were when the matsunos were kids

if anything i'd say they started out being at each others throats and NEVER getting along… until one day they lemonade mouth'd on accident. and ever since. they're super close. It's literally reversing the dynamics between San and Kun.

this means that… oso and choro are a close duo, ichi and jyushi are still a close duo, and totty and kara are a close duo.

Due to the fact that they are not sextuplets, they do not have as terrible of identity issues and I think it's the only reason they're really better off / have their shit together and are so like, confident in their identities. If they were sextuplets it would have been just like canon. This is why I have separated them into twins. The birth order is still the same.

ages are;

oso+kara = 24

choro + ichi = 22

jyushi + todo = 20

also they did actually used to be called their original names but they legally changed them to gem names for the band and other reasons i'll get into later.

the idea for everyone having gem names comes from the fact that choros name is changed to jade in this au, and while he's the ONLY one with a gem name I didn't care for the canon names just being… Oso, kara, jade, itchy, juicy, todo. It's boring. I like whatever choro had going on

So.. their new legal first names goes as so:

osomatsu -> ruby

karamatsu -> lapis

choromatsu -> jade

ichimatsu -> agate

jyushimatsu -> topaz

todomatsu -> spinel

Their last name is Hoshino instead of matsuno; I do think they call their band !!!MATSUNO!!! though. I see a bunch of people call it fujio rock but that's not actually their band name as far as I can tell -- that's the name of the overall au / it's parodying real world festival Fuji rock.

Each of the Hoshinos have similar hair; they're actually defined by sharing similar hair dye jobs with who their closest to. This is based off of how it is in Canon too.

Ruby and Jade have half their hair dyed, agate and topaz have nearly fully dyed heads of hair with natural hair streaks, and lapis and spinel only have a few color streaks framing both sides of their faces.

Their music is largely scene, but they dabble in ska, and pop punk because they can have some very poppy aesthetics in some sets…. and also look like they'd play ska in the summerfes fit. also, whatever songs SNOWMAN makes, since that features all their live action actors.

Lastly, ruby models his hair after billy joe cobra because it's my blorbo and I get to make the weird crossover happen

[dragonmarquise]

OK OK OK HEAR ME OUT!!! HEAR ME OUT!!! all the BRC crews, but like, they're slashers/murderers, and the BRC crew is basically the main cast y'know???? I feel like solace should be the final girl

This is gonna be a fun one! I like horror stuff, but admittedly with slashers I tend to just read about them, since seeing the gory stuff makes me ill. ^^;

Still! Even just reading about a lot of these kinds of movies gives a lot of ideas, so I'm working off of that!

Also sorry I’m posting this the next day! I finished this yesterday, but I wanted to proofread it first and got too sleepy to finish it last night. ^^;

So with BRC as the main cast (I’m assuming just the original 5? Tryce, Bel, Felix, Vinyl, and Solace), horror movie logic dictates that usually the comedy relief character dies first. Then again I have no idea if that’s still a thing in horror movies these days. :u

But anyways, I feel the character who probably fits that role is either Felix or Solace. Because, Felix gives me the impression of a chill guy who cracks jokes every now and then. And Solace is Solace, the comedy is mostly in his bad luck and/or his status as a Sad Wet Blorbo, lol

imo Solace’s bad luck could actually work in his favor, basically him bumbling/tripping/etc. while avoiding death in more and more ridiculous ways as the movie goes on. To the point where he just happens to be the Final Girl!

But if we go with “comedy relief character dies first” and Solace gets that role, then I nominate Vinyl as the Final Girl. I feel like she’d be great as the Final Girl and actually manage to finish off the villain!

I guess the rest of the non-rival BRC members (Rave, Mesh, Shine, Rise, and Coil) get to be the background characters that get killed off along the way. Or otherwise they manage to escape just in time, but don't play much of a role in stopping the villain in the end. Whoops, sorry guys. D:

So with the main cast established, let’s move on to the crews! I’m gonna be predictable and start off with Devil Theory, specifically with my OCs. *u*

Daishō is a lover of horror media, so he goes all in on being a slasher movie villain! Serial killer who recreates elaborate deaths from his favorite horror movies!! Also involves plenty of knives and butcher themes, maybe.

Sai and Nunchaku tag along as minions, also a bit of a “If we didn’t help him, he might end up worse” kind of way. Cool motive, still murder though. Going by a horror movie structure, they’d get killed off before the main cast (or what’s left of them at that point) can take down Daishō directly.

Bō stays out of this whole mess because he hates horror stuff, especially gory stuff. He might play the role of someone warning the main cast to leave before it’s too late… before getting killed off by Daishō as a “traitor”. Yikes. D:

Now for DOT EXE... probably stuff involving hijacking robots and machines? Like that big incident in the mall in the Child’s Play remake from 2019. All the electronics go haywire and kill people, oh no!!

For my versions of the crew, Twoson and Fourside in particular would go all in on being evil serial killers like this. Like with Daishō, they’re big horror media nerds. Also they both probably kill off the other DOT EXE members when/if they try to get in the duo’s way too. I just can’t imagine the other members being okay with this, like how Sai and Nunchaku are okay with going along with Daishō’s plan. :o

With the Franks, maybe something like the Prince tricking people into thinking they’re getting life-saving surgeries free-of-charge... but then just harvesting them for organs and spare body parts for some experiments the Prince is carrying out. Or otherwise just sending out the Franks to kidnap people for “surgery”. I guess something like the doctor from the Mad Father game, just without the “turn people into dolls” obsession… or maybe have something like that too?! Or otherwise it’s just experiments to improve his skills and eventually advance humanity overall.

He insists he’s doing it for the good of humanity, but, y’know, he’s still tricking and killing people in the process. The Franks here are his minions, made from the body parts of former victims, and like I said being sent out to find more "test subjects".

So then for Eclipse, uhhhh, make them witches I guess?? Has there ever been a slasher with a witch as the villain? Gory magic! Surely there’s been at least one movie with that kind of idea.

Or if not that, then serial killers who leave astrology-themed “clues” at their murders, but really the clues are just to lure in more victims. Heck, combine the two! Why the hell not. Either way, they mostly target men who are genuinely heinous people, especially those who managed to escape punishment/jail time/etc. Basically a “the villain has a point though” kind of thing.

Sometimes they mess up and target a man who turned out to be completely innocent, or even the wrong guy entirely, but they don’t see it as a big deal. You could take this as a “He probably would have done something bad sooner or later anyways” thing, or otherwise “Well, you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. Or heads in this case.”

And now finally, FUTURISM! I’m thinking psychological horror mixed with slasher stuff! DJ Cyber and his crew basically messing with people before killing them off, stalking them for weeks or even months to get a good idea of their personality, background, etc. and then use it against them.

Maybe even go Saw with it, elaborate traps where they have to earn their survival or literally die trying! If we go with Solace surviving just on his weird luck alone, I can imagine some genuinely hilarious ways he can narrowly avoid death in this situation, lol

I think that’s about it for my ideas on this topic! This was a fun one to think over, thank you for sending this in. :D

The psychic damage I received seeing David and Michael compared to Enjolras and Grantaire on this blog… those two were my ORIGINAL blorbos and George Blagden was truly an unwell girlie about it. Talking writing parodies of I Will Follow You Into the Dark to be about ExR and posting it on YouTube.

They were never my blorbos but I was very online and I remember when George Blagden did that and everyone went crazy. But anyway I love that Les Mis quote about people who are linked with and. There’s just something sooo pleasing about famous lifelong duos whether real or fictional.

Crossing the Line - Tangled the Series

"No! This has to stop now This thing where you think that you've been my friend And don't even hear how you condescend The way you've always done"

Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)

Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:

Soldier, Poet, King - The Oh Hellos

Propaganda:

Everyone was doing animatics of this. The meme was that you’d choose one of your blorbos to represent the “soldier,” one for the “poet”, and one for the “king.” The original point of the song is that “soldier poet and king” are all one person, and that person is Jesus, but literally no one cares about that. Who needs Jesus when you have Warrior Cats?

What's that?...it's supposed to be about Jesus? NOT ANYMORE, BABEY!! It's about my BLORBOS

It's a really nice song and can highlight different characters and their talents/abilities

If your fandom is fantasy, has a fantasy au, or characters that fit the roles, this can works. Can probably fit any fandom.

you look this song up on yt and youre going to find an animatic with it for every fandom in existence i stg man

Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

[will-the-psychic-type-elite92]

Uhhhhh last night I went a little silly lil crazy.

I was suddenly consumed by the urge to doodle the Eyes, Summer and Ben. There's Nothing going on, they're not connected outside of being in the same canvas. I rememberd why I never doodle Ben. I can never draw his hair right. But.... I needed to spread the Freckled Ben propaganda I started with my friend.

Ben is looking up because uhhh he was originally under Summer, but I had to change canvas size to send in a discord so I had to move him.

Anyway I hate PE, BE and Ben's hair, but they're a bunch of characters that have lived rent free in the blorbo ikea since like. Late 2010. Mmmmaybe early 2011. Anyway they're special to me. (Even if I hate Purple Eyes/pos.) (He's literally such a good villain I love him as a character, but like. I also hate him. It's like that one SpongeBob meme.)

Also. I believe in the protag duo having different shades of brown eyes (amber VS hazel) and their hair being different shades (Ben's looking redder, especially in bright light)

[tea-cat-arts]

Being a haters exhausting. Here’s some things I actually liked in the recent chapters:

Seele and Senti! They are perfect and can do no wrong. They also make a surprisingly good comedic duo

Kiana and Durandal being sisters. This is one of the few times I’m actually really glad Mihoyo went down the no-angst route. I think it would’ve been really easy and cheap to have made Durandal resent Kiana in some way for taking over her life (I’ve seen other media do that), so I found it incredibly refreshing to have Durandal take the mature route, acknowledge none of that was Kiana’s fault, and immediately accept her as her sister.

The environment design. The moon base is a pain to walk through, but an absolute Easter egg hunt of tiny details. It’s also always nice to head back to the deep and saint freya. The project stigma space is also very neat to look at

Kevin and Fu Hua’s conversations. It might just be because they’re two of my favorite characters in the game, but I really found the scenes of these two former friends asking the other to back down or join them while having this silent resignation, knowing that nothing they can say will work, genuinely heartbreaking. Man, I just want my blorbos to be ok 😭

Seeing Siegfried and Theresa hang out. I always kinda forget that those two have been friends for a long time, so it’s nice to actually see that friendship in action (also, hoyo, why do you keep making these very fun to play male characters that are only available for one chapter)

The attempt to make project stigma more nuanced. Though I don’t think they really succeeded, I appreciate them trying to expand project stigma to more than just a shitty vaccine (for those who are still confused about what project stigma does, it takes everyone without an awakened stigmata and puts them in a dream. Those dreams are all slowly merging into the collective consciousness. Once they’re in the consciousness, the original person effectively dies and is reborn into a being like Hare {or at least this is what I’ve gathered}). I think this makes more sense than just straight up killing 90% of the population, and I can kinda get why people would support it or see it as a better alternative to death.

The shift to making Grey Serpent the main antagonist. So uh, past his introduction arc, Kevin just doesn’t make a good antagonist. He’s kinda disconnected from most of the main conflicts and the vast majority of the time we’ve seen him (be it him, his sim, or the Kaslana stigmata), he’s been on the protagonists side. Grey Serpent on the other hand- that guy has pissed EVERYONE off at some point or another. Even Seele is wary around him. I think if Mihoyo doesn’t want to do morally grey antagonists anymore, then going with the Disney villain is a better choice than demonizing another victim

Any time Li Shushang and Susannah are on screen together. Mihoyo really said “if you don’t know what to do with this side character, then make interesting by giving her a girlfriend,” and they were so right

Mei’s little amusement park space. I can’t really think of why I liked this section, I just did. It was fun
