[Req by/inspo]

Kaveh had always been a whirlwind of emotion, while Ratio was a storm of intellect, a calculated force that could dismantle an argument with precision. You, however, had always seen how the two mirrored each other more than they would ever admit. Perhaps that was why you had found yourself at the center of their unusual, sometimes chaotic, yet undeniably tender relationship.

Tonight, you sat in the alcove of Kaveh's latest project—a breathtaking garden terrace filled with fragrant blossoms and intricate stonework. Ratio stood nearby, analyzing the structural integrity of a carved archway. Kaveh, by contrast, lounged on the soft cushions next to you, gesturing animatedly about his vision for the space.

“Can you believe he questioned my choice of materials?” Kaveh huffed, shooting Ratio a pointed look.

Ratio didn’t even glance up. “Marble is inefficient for the load-bearing pillars, given the humidity here. My calculations are sound.”

You smiled at their familiar banter, interrupting before it spiraled into another heated debate. “Both of you bring something unique to the table. Ratio, your precision ensures the structure lasts for centuries. And Kaveh, your artistry ensures people will remember it for just as long.”

Kaveh leaned closer to you, his eyes softening. “You always know how to make everything sound so balanced.” He paused, a teasing smirk creeping onto his face. “But let’s be honest, you’re on my side, right?”

Ratio finally turned his attention from the archway, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. “Don’t put them in the middle of this.”

You laughed, leaning back against the cushions. “I’m on our side. I’m just saying that both of your strengths work best when you complement each other.”

Kaveh tilted his head, his expression shifting to something more thoughtful. “You know, they’re right. As much as it pains me to admit it, your critiques do push me to do better, Ratio.”

Ratio’s lips curved into a faint smile. “And your emotional investment reminds me why these creations matter in the first place.”

It wasn’t often that the two of them shared such open affection, and it made your chest warm to see them acknowledge their similarities. Kaveh’s idealism and Ratio’s determination were two sides of the same coin—both driven by a deep passion for bettering the world in their own way.

As the night wore on, the three of you found yourselves huddled together, sharing quiet laughter and whispered musings about dreams and ambitions. Kaveh’s head rested on your shoulder, his golden hair soft against your cheek. Ratio sat on your other side, his arm draped over the back of the cushions, fingers brushing yours in a rare display of vulnerability.

You spoke softly, your words cutting through the gentle hum of the night. “The two of you are more alike than you realize. You both care deeply about leaving the world better than you found it—Kaveh with beauty, Ratio with knowledge.”

Kaveh chuckled, his voice low and warm. “And you, dearest, hold us together when we’d otherwise tear ourselves apart.”

Ratio’s hand briefly tightened over yours. “It’s true. Without you, I doubt either of us would have found the balance we needed.”

In that moment, the harmony between the three of you felt unshakable. As Kaveh drifted into a soft slumber against you, Ratio leaned closer, his steady gaze meeting yours.

“Thank you,” he murmured. “For understanding us.”

You smiled, squeezing his hand gently. “Always.”

The moonlit terrace seemed to shimmer with the quiet promise of a future where the three of you—so different, yet so deeply connected—would continue to build something extraordinary together.

The thing is that every other iwtv character makes me want to weep and wail and pull out my hair and write essays of character analysis whereas lestat mostly makes me want to clap my hands like a seal that just watched someone slip and fall on a banana peel

This is absolutely reductive of the enormity of Drifter and Eris's relationship and their bonding over shared traumas, but. The way Drifter is acting reminds me of how racehorses often need emotional support goats/ponies/donkeys in order to not turn into even more anxious disasters than they usually are. Do not separate the Them

(Drifter is the racehorse. Eris is the goat)

Space Anchor Theory (3.0 HSR spoilers)

reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1i26c8f/space_anchors_a_full_theory_30_spoilers/

barring the fact that now i can say "I was right!" (Here is my old post- partway in is my space anchor theory summarized: https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/153ftnd/comment/m2yfxu4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button )

So how do space anchors work? Let me do my best to explain. A little, anyways.

What is a Space Anchor?

As Dan Heng says, it's a mark of the Trailblaze. Like our abilities to acclimate to harsh climates and stay awake for long periods of time with boundless energy, space anchors are how we "trailblaze', or set up contact points.

These are set at different intervals during our travels., depending on need. They also act as a way to help the Nameless communicate with the Express according to the 3.0 story. See below for more on the WIfi theory.

How is it placed?

In this cutscene, we can see the MC holding out his hand and a space anchor unfolds.

This is assumingly how we canonically place these. If we get near, they also activate. Simple as that. And presuming locals can't change this. I'm guessing they also "burn out" over time like torches.

How does it work and who can use it?

The space anchors are handled by the Nameless, and it's highly likely they need to be placed/activated by a Nameless to work properly.

They probably act like teleport waypoints in Genshin. The Nameless can use them to get around fast and if there's enough power they can use it to "hop" around.

Other people, such as the researchers on the HSS, are most likely able to use it for minor things such as healing or, as I mentioned above and more likely to be the case, as a type of Wi-Fi signal. Potentially, since some of them are Nameless or former Nameless, they may potentially be able to use them to also move around the station. quickly.

It's also likely that if you are a Trailblazer you have to actually encounter the waypoint before being able to use it more freely.

Also this is the most likely way how trailblaze power is gained- new space anchors = land "explored" = express fuel

The wifi theory

I've mentioned these anchors' main function is communication with the Express.

A quest in the HSS has a researcher ask us to activate a space anchor. This is a time when systems on the station are down so activating a space anchor could be a way to help restore some communications. I haven't seen the quest in a while so I probably missed anything else that was mentioned, so let me know if I did.

On Amphoreus, Dan Heng mentions we can use these to communicate with the Express once enough are down and our traincar is gone (rip). Considering our attachments to people like Herta and Asta and the IPC uses the "holes" the Trailblaze pokes through when trailblazing, we can probably assume they can also be used as a type of signal generator. Like portable Wi-Fi.

TLDR: space anchors = portable wifi for all and a way to contact the outside world. Hmm maybe don't tell Aglaea that her people can now text IPC DoorDash.

Conclusion

Space anchors for the Nameless make "power" for the Express and give us a way to get around. Or at least mark where we've been.

Space anchors for everyone else act as giant routers they can't move. Good luck explaining this one, Aglaea and Phainon.

Thank you hoyo writers for finally confirming what I had suspected for a long time. Let me know if I missed something. This was just a quick dive into it anyways I'm off to go grind for Lingsha some more.

for a guy who’s so chill and laid back and casually open about his views on things shanks is ridiculously hard to read and it makes me very nervous

The Propagation - Glamoth pipeline has been sitting in my head for a hot minute. Mainly, how I pictured where exactly did Ruan Mei get the inspiration for such research from. While that in itself could be a coincidence, I believe the connecting thread itself of what inspired this creation began during the Swarm invasions, mainly, when you had things like this happening.

Where living beings, seemingly human and otherwise could actively be transformed into the Swarm, there's a thread of connectivity.

So that really made me sit and ponder here for a second. If this is very well possible, then how could I actively discern it? In my head, I think it's a matter of perspective, and we actually do have that from a SAM and a Propagation insect.

There's more examples I could pluck up but I digress. This right here caught my attention in the update, primarily, how Glamoth's answer to the Swarm would be the experiments with Empress Titania, leading to the test tube lives of the Glamoth's Iron Calvary. The usage of not only DNA in order to pass on power, but to hold a unified hivemind. The Titania's dream was the connector to all the soldiers of the Iron Calvary, allowing orders to be directed, for the cardinal rules to be followed while their mortal forms I imagine were hailed from her, leading to the wealth of experience carried from two fronts. It's also why I believe that the soldiers can't dream imaginatively, as it's become a genuine doorway to their collective unconscious.

Now I could just picture this as a coincidence, but, it's when we lead towards Ruan Mei's experiments

Through aspects involving Path power, Information (in the HSR sense) and data, this process in itself can either create the genuine swarm articles with her remixes, or in the case of Glamoth's usage, find a way to recreate an original power and have it passed on through 'offspring' aka the Iron Calvary soldiers. I believe the Propagation in particular is required for this, as it enhances I picture that it enhances the same DNA, abilities and that soul-like connection to be carried along.

I don't see the same 1 for 1 being as easily execution via the Abundance Path.

All this to say that I don't think they're 1 for 1, but the atrocities of the Swarm Disaster has given to light some pretty chilling possibilities, and the parallels I've come to see between the Empire and the Swarm are a touch too difficult for me to ignore, so I want to see if this spin can lead somewhere if this story aspect gets touched on more in the future.

And to think this all spawned just cause the codename of 'Fireflies' and this particular term of world from Firefly's lc.

Not to mention these excerpts.

Damn, u really sat down here and read all of this?

Lots of us used to hang out in malls. Of course, malls have had their own problems. Perhaps they wouldn't have looked so abandoned/spooky/unattractive to adults spending money if some of those malls had simply accepted that kids would be there and cater to their parents desire to have some sanity recuperation time. A dead Sears is a great place for an urban zombie paintball/laser tag arena. Those giant atriums are a great place for climbing walls. The food court could sell ready to eat food and even offer cooking classes to every teen that was never even shown how to boil water for ramen noodles.

Malls full of people, even kids, don't look abandoned and wouldn't have been abandoned as quickly.
