going thru my screenshots from 2.3 while waiting for the update (because i stupidly didn't pre-install them) and this might be my favorite part of the tb mission.
himeko is telling us that at its core, humanity is rooted in storytelling and the nameless’s mission to travel across the galaxy embodies this spirit. their journey centers around exploring new worlds but the significance of their travels goes beyond mere exploration; it's about encountering diverse stories from different people and places. it's in the "miniscule". it's in the individual tales that contribute to a grander tapestry of human existence which they strive to remember and honor. it's in how the nameless creates a shared experience that they carry along with them to other planets they visit. it's how they're able to create connections that transcend the vast distance it probably takes for the astral express to traverse from one planet to another. exploration becomes merely the means to achieve their true goal: to forge connections via the star rail through stories they encounter. it's why i think it's very fitting that the trailblaze is considered the one closest to humanity. in a world that extends as vast as the cosmos, they choose to ground themselves in these stories, to remember them when no one else would. because it's these individual tales and the ongoing dialogue between them that creates a continuous, living narrative that binds living species across the galaxy together.
#honkai star rail#hsr#himeko#himeko hsr#astral express#i think this makes them very similar to ipc goal-wise because both want to achieve a kind of unity between all of these worlds even though#they have different means. i would very much like to see how they juxtapose against one another but with the end of 2.3 it seems like#they're leaning more towards making the astral express and the ipc collaborate and putting them on the same page. but we'll see#t#also interesting to then compare the nameless to any other faction/path we've encountered#the ipc is one. then also destruction who is potentially the final big villain and fits their role as the antithesis to the nameless (the#former strives to end everything while the latter fight for the continued existence of beings). the stellaron hunters is still a mystery#though we now know they're possibly affiliated with the finality but i don't really know what to make out of it. the script motifs and kafk#being the person to implant the “reach the end of your story in your own way” message to tb might possibly lead to something though#btw in the time it took to post this the download increases by 1%. if anyone cares
