#this is canon I'm Hoyo

[starcurtain]

Please someone redraw this with Dr. Ratio and Aventurine because this is the exact vibe they have in my head post-Penacony.

Re: Jess’s Future Fics for Capitano

Moving forward, all of my Capitano fics that take place after the events of 5.3 will be set in one of the following timelines::

Canon-compliant

Self-explanatory. Capitano is “dead” and will remain that way until/ unless Hoyoverse resurrects him in a future story.

So far, I only have one WIP in this timeline. It’ll probably be the only fic since I’m not rlly into angst (for Capitano, at least ^^; )

Canon-divergent

Capitano is resurrected days/ months after the events of 5.3. Since he was able to accomplish his goal, he no longer has to absorb souls or store them in his heart. Then he safely returns to Snezhnaya to reunite with his lover.

This category might fall under canon-compliant if Hoyoverse resurrects him. Also, the reason why Capitano isn’t immediately resurrected is so I can squeeze in some angsty mourning before the heartfelt reunion *evil laugh*

-

As of now, most of my Capitano fic ideas are either AUs or set before 5.3. But I just wanted to be clear about this, especially since I have WIPs that take place in both timelines ^o^

Also, the canon-divergent timeline is the “true ending” of Herbarium for the timebeing >:’3

[ancientforgcd]

The latest event stigmata had these numbers. It's a homonym in chinese. 520=我爱你 means “i love you” 917=在一起 means “no matter how far the distance, their hearts will always be together” 1314=一生一世 means “they love each other foever”

[azaliyas]

(edit) DISCLAIMER: i KNOW that what kafka said in these screenshots is probably a lie, yet i decided to blatantly and willingly ignore it because i have my own ideas, theories and hcs. so don't think this is canon, it's probably not, but for me it is bcs of my hcs. thank you.

if y'all are not interested/don't play/didn't play yet hsr, specifically kafka's companion mission, then skip this post cuz i need to go crazy about the woman and so there will be spoilers

and now

MOTHER MOTHERED AND I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THE KAFKA-MC RELATIONSHIP AND NOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED I'M 1000000 TIMES HAPPIER SHES CANONICALLY OUR MOTHER OUR DATA IS HER DATA IDKAISIAOAKA AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

and also

DOES THIS MEAN WE STAYED BY KAFKA'S SIDE TO LEARN AND BE CARED FOR BY HER BEFORE WE SPAWNED AT THE SPACE STATION IN ORDER TO UNCONSCIOUSLY FOLLOW ELIO'S SCRIPT I HAVE MY OWN THEORIES LIKE EOSKSIAOAKKAAK I'M YELLING SO MUCH THIS IS AMAZING I'M SO SOWOISOWKWOWKAK

[fleurdriviere]

AITA for neglecting work obligations when my son (3500 M) almost drowned in abyssal poison and barely survived because I rushed to save him while my significant other and best friend (4000 F, human born) got her orbital plate crushed by some absurdly large and sharp abyss-infected device and now has both of her eyes missing and oozing with abyssal poison? Perhaps I also forgot about the task at hand because I swallowed half a gallon of abyssal poison while getting my son out, but I was so worried about both of them I forgot about it until now.

hey yeah how IS ratio putting on his alabaster head when it seems to be smaller than his actual head. is he like a barbie or smth

[feroluce]

Some off the cuff 1k of Skirk & Tartaglia (skirtaru???) hcs before 4.2 proves me wildly wrong, they are very much a dynamic in process to be changed as we see more of them and as I think and consider them more, but I wanna see them interact so BAD.

Anyway. Tartaglia is an idiot who develops a crush, or at least something like a crush, on anyone who can give him a good fight. Obviously there are plenty of people who can just kick his ass- he's ranked at the bottom of the Harbingers. But they all suck, and there's no passion when they fight! They don't appreciate it the way Tartaglia does! So it's not a good fight and those assholes don't count!

So I think little Tartaglia was doomed the second he saw a very very pretty lady with a very very sharp sword and she immediately beat the shit out of him. Like she awakened something in him right then and there, unfortunately for the rest of the world haha

And then! Not only could she beat him one handed! But she took the time to teach him! And this! This was exactly what Tartaglia had wanted when he ran away from home with nothing but some food and his sword! He'd wanted an adventure! He'd wanted something new and different and wild!

And he can have that now, with Skirk and the Abyss! So his crush could have instantly dissolved right there, but it didn't, because Skirk was weird and interesting and Tartaglia adored that.

((Wheezing imagining Tartaglia trying to show off because he wants to impress his shifu, and she genuinely is impressed because Tartaglia progressed so fast, but then she pops his teenage boy ego with a pin and he deflates sjzjnskdkz))

He develops such an endless amount of respect and admiration for her. He's so happy and so proud of himself when he masters the Foul Legacy, because this was a goal laid by his shifu and hell yeah, he blew it out of the water!! And I'd like to think this was when Skirk said those words in his profile-

"You shall ever be the eye of the storm,"

"And the clashing of steel shall ever accompany you."

"The pitch-black memory of stepping into uttermost darkness,"

"Shall, at last, become the strength by which you will overturn this world."

-with Tartaglia knelt before her and her sword at his cheek, as though she were knighting him. And Tartaglia realizes then that oh. He likes it here. He likes being in the Abyss. He likes being with Skirk. He likes hunting and killing and surviving here in the Abyss with Skirk. Morepesok is and will always be home, but it was stagnant there. Too much of the same. No room for growth.

But the Abyss is boundless possibility to explore in every direction, and Skirk has never flinched away from him even once. Tartaglia can be as violent and bloodthirsty as he wants; Skirk is worse. She gives zero shits. She loves to fight and hunt and kill and make things bleed. Tartaglia is free to explore and revel in all of his worst inclinations and instincts and that is what the Abyss and Skirk become to him. Freedom.

And then he falls out of the Abyss just as suddenly as he had fallen into it. He didn't even get to say goodbye.

And it's not all bad or anything. Tartaglia isn't miserable. He's plenty capable of making his own happiness. He brings his own joy everywhere he goes (derogatory, unfortunate for everyone else ndkdjdjkd) and he genuinely likes being around other people. He would have missed a lot of things if he'd been permanently trapped.

But now there is an itch that he can't scratch. And it's driving him nuts. And he misses Skirk. She was fun to be around. He liked her.

He finds himself seeing things in everyday life and wishing he could show her. He pulls out ingredients in the kitchen for dinner and wants her to eat his special dish and show off how good he can cook. He reads through reports about the Abyss and he never finds what he's looking for (a swordswoman, an entrance, anything-), but he wants to ask her her opinions about them. He sees a really nice sword and wonders if she would like it. Little things.

Tartaglia decides he's going to find her. Even if it's just for a chance to thank her. Even if it takes years, decades. He just wants to see her again.

And then, it finally happens! They really do get to reunite! I have no idea what will happen in the archon quest of course, but like. I really like the idea that after things settle down, Skirk decides to stay for a while. She doesn't really want to live here or anything, but she's curious. She wants to see what Teyvat is like. She especially wants to see Snezhnaya, like Tartaglia used to talk about. And Tartaglia decides to go with her, he's an experienced traveler, a man of the world after all! He'll take her wherever she'd like to go.

And I'd love for them to say goodbye to The Traveler and Paimon and depart from Fontaine on a classic will-they-won't-they sort of vibe, where it's obvious that Tartaglia has Some Feelings about Skirk, but it's not clear how Skirk really feels about him yet. But it's the kind of thing where it's hopeful, and you want to root for the guy to get his love interest haha.

(The Traveler and Paimon bump into them a few months later and Paimon chides Tartaglia because Childe have you seriously not confessed yet the hell have you been doing all this time, which he responds to with hey, Skirk is a classy lady, give me time to do it right! and meanwhile The Traveler can see around Tartaglia to where Skirk is sitting at their campfire, manspreading on a fallen log, eating raw meat with blood on her face and dripping down her arms BNSKXJSMKDMD)

Misses furinas banner rerun

My sincerest and honest reaction:

[cluescorner]

Sumeru can’t end. If it ends, when the fuck will I get to passionately profess my love to Jeht? If I can’t do that, then what the fuck is even the point?

[pwettyaura]

citlali... and arlecchino... and clorinde... and ganyu..?!

[daybreakrising]

i have just reminded myself that i need to write up the hcs i have regarding razor's connections to c.yno and v.arka-

[crimsoncandy04]

wanderer but pre-remembering everything event smut.. i wanna kiss him and love him please.. maybe with slight jealousy?

Pre-Scaraification Wanderer?

So the only canon Kabukimono interaction scene we got before hoyo re-traumatized him and just TOOK him away from us forever 😻😺💜💙?

Ooh I have been WAITING for this.

(sorry I just have the biggest crush on Wanderer when he was still a sweetheart tbh. Like he was so cool and sexy as a harbinger and admirable and determined in his new healing era but his Kabu days just have a special place in my heart cause he was literally such a cutie with a heart of gold before shit hit the fan)

I'll fulfill your request with great enthusiasm fellow human.

(for plot reasons we were his secret fling before the irminsul event and now we find him again. Just BEFORE Traveler does and ruins everything of course

😔😒)

"Kuni I found you!" You call out excitedly as you rush over and instinctively wrap your arms around your lover's neck.

Except he doesn't embrace you back.

If anything he seems nervous and...shy?

"do we know each other?" A strangely pleasant voice suddenly asks you.

You look up at Kunikuzushi with a confused expression.

"what? Of course we do. What are you talking about? We see each other...all the time..." Your face falters as you finally register that something is wrong.

"Kuni? You do remember me... right?"

The man before you looked like your lover but for some reason it was as if you were staring into the eyes of someone completely different.

"I'm afraid not. Perhaps it has simply been a long while? You must excuse me, but sometimes my memory isn't the best when I'm distracted."

You felt like your heart was tearing in half.

He didn't... know who you were?

What the FUCK did he do with that stupid tree!?

You try not to sound as upset as you actually are.

"no no. Something happened. You know me very well it's just..." Struggling to hold back tears, you reach out and take his hand in yours. Silently begging for him to remember you but behind those unusually big and bright indigo irises, you saw nothing of the man you once fell in love with.

"i don't know what happened... but it appears... you no longer..."

The young man suddenly squeezed your hand tightly as the mournful and helpless expression on your face almost seemed to trigger some instinctive reaction in him to comfort you.

"Hey, don't be upset please. You seem like a really nice lady. Perhaps if you just helped me rekindle my memory a little, I could easily recall our previous interactions."

You hesitated.

How?

Every meeting between you both previously had been heated and steamy.

What would you even -?

Suddenly you got an idea.

"I know right now you don't remember me. And because of that this might seem sudden but... please excuse me!"

And with that you quickly tilt your head upwards and press your lips against his.

Archons how it was EVERYTHING you were missing.

Amnesia stricken Kunikuzushi again seemed to act on instinct.

He didn't understand why you were doing this but...it felt so...nice.

He placed a gentle hand on the small of your back and pulled you a little closer as you continued to kiss him deeply now and hold his hand.

Finally after several minutes you pull away. He stares at you with flushed cheeks and wide eyes.

"we used to...do stuff like that?" He asked in an uncharacteristically innocent way.

You nod.

"yes. And much more."

"more?" Kuni's body relaxed against yours as he considered your word. He seemed oddly confused but the hardness between his legs spoke otherwise. Still, if he couldn't remember you, maybe this was wrong? Maybe you just needed to start slowly accepting that-

"could we do that... again please?" Kuni asked suddenly. Derailing your train of thought completely.

"mm hmm" you lean into him again and this time there's a little more confidence in his touch. You both had been standing somewhere outside in the avidiya forest and as Kuni quickly figured out that he was enjoying this, he slowly leaned back against a nearby tree and pulled you against him. His hands move cautiously from your back to your ass. Squeezing your cheeks a little as he rubbed his clothed erection against your now moistened panties underneath your skirt.

You broke the kiss for a second as you just hugged him for a little bit longer. And oddly enough he's okay with this. This was unlike the Kunikuzushi you knew. This man was...softer...kinder... and oh how his gentle touch was so new to you yet so good feeling all at once.

You felt like you were more than desirable for once.

You felt like you were loved.

"how could I forget this? I jus-" you give him a playful kiss on the cheek as you slowly lean back and distract him from ruining the moment by pulling off your top. His soft indigo eyes widened as he gazed at your soft and large breasts. And yet this new curious and awe stricken expression in them, though different, was getting you just as wet as the lustful look you had grown used to in them.

"don't worry about it. I'm not sure what happened to you but...I still love you very much Kuni. So please..." You gently bring his hand to cup one of your tits. He gives it a cautious squeeze.

"let's make new memories?"

Something inside him seemed to falter as Kuni clearly lost himself in the moment and began to explore you a little more. He wraps his arms around you and knocks you both to the ground before kissing you once more whilst grabbing your thighs and spreading your legs around him. He lay on top of you then.

His soft lips trailing from your mouth to your neck. You gasp a little as you feel him pinch and tug at one of your nipples ever so delicately. Teasing you before moving further down and latching onto one of your sensitive peaks with his mouth and gently swirling his tongue, making you cry out and squirm underneath him as he continued to fondle your other breast at the same time.

"Kuni... your tongue feels so good ~ I want more please ~" your lustful tone reaches his ears yet for a split second he seems to pause.

He wondered why you kept calling him that. That wasn't his name. Well technically he didn't have one. But at some point he did... and it wasn't Kuni or whatever. Was it perhaps a special nickname you once gave him or...?

"stop calling me that please."

You feel yourself freeze a little as he tries to continue.

Does he not remember his name either?

"is that... not your name anymore?"

"I have no memory of it. just call me by my old one."

"huh?"

The young man moves further down your body. Pulling your knees apart before gently pulling aside your panties and giving your wet slit a quick teasing lick.

"Kabukimono. Just call me Kabukimono."

You let out a soft moan as you feel him suddenly pull you against his face and bury his tongue deep within your aching cunt. You squeal and cry out as he laps at your sensitive inner walls and alternates between fucking you with his tongue and teasing your clit.

Your fingers tangle themselves in his dark indigo hair, your other hand digging into the dirt underneath you both as you desperately try to anchor yourself to something.

This wasn't your Kunikuzushi.

But fuck was he almost... better?

No no. That was an awful thought.

But the name must've been on your mind still because when you feel him slide a finger into your tight pussy next and curl against your sweet spot, you accidentally mess up and say it again.

"Kuni!" You whine. You look down and see a brief look of irritation across his face. Followed by something else unrecognizable. Jealousy?

He voice vibrates against your cunt. Sending shivers down your spine.

"I told you. Call me Kabukimono."

"sorry I just forgot."

The young man who looked like Kunikuzushi suddenly got a familiar mischievous look in his eyes as he suddenly zeroed in on your dripping sex.

Yet his voice sounded teasing and playful almost.

"I'll make you remember then."

Suddenly you feel his lips seal around your clit. He sucked on the bundle of nerves HARD causing you to scream as your back arched upwards and your eyes rolled back in your head.

He continued to lick and suckle your clit even as your juices filled his mouth and you were seeing stars. Forcing your legs to stay spread as you instinctively tried to close them against the delightful onslaught of pleasure by jerking your knees apart and holding them in place. Finally in a fit of desperation and desire, you cry out.

"Kabukimono! Oh fuck! Kabukimono please I think I'm going crazy!~"

"Say it again please~"

He groaned as he continued his assault of ecstasy on your now oversensitive clitty.

"Kabuki-ah! Kabukimono! Kabukimono!"

The insides of your cunt tighten as Kabukimono hums against your sex in approval as he brings you to the edge of another intense climax that you swore left you seeing white for a second.

After that, he slowly released his hold on you and came up to kiss you again. You felt your heart swell with adoration as you tasted yourself on his lips.

Reaching out to hold him close as you slowly take deep breaths and calm yourself down as he gently plays with your hair and holds you as well.

You two stay together like this for a bit longer. You still weren't entirely sure what happened to the man you knew before but this... Kabukimono...

You loved him.

And he loved you too.

You could feel it in just how tightly he embraced you and how softly he whispered gentle words of sweetness in your ear.

Finally after several long minutes of cuddling together, Kabukimono reluctantly gets up and tells you that he has somewhere important to be.

You ask what could be so important now of all times and he simply responds by explaining to you how he is currently doing some local work for this man who helped him during a storm and that he shouldn't be late as it would be rude considering how he was working as a means of repaying him. Apparently.

You bid Kabukimono farewell as he gives you one last kiss farewell and promises to return to you tomorrow.

Little did you know

He would return as promised.

But Scaramouche would be the one returning for round two.

Or Wanderer was it?

You get the point;)

[starguardianniom]

Harumasa, Asaboo, Miyaboo and Soukaboo

EVERYONE HARUMASA DID IT HE FREAKING COMMISSIONNED HIS BANGBOO FORM FROM VIRTUAL REVENGE AND ALSO HAD ONE MADE OF MIYABI AND SOUKAKU THIS IS NOT A DRILL THIS IS FREAKING CANON AND REAL!!!!

Ok so I just did his latest trust event and boy was I not prepared for it. He legit paid to have Asaboo made, then had Miyaboo and Soukaboo made as well, and they are named that way because he's the one who named them.

THIS IS REAL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

I FUCKING TOOK THE PICTURES AND IT GETS BETTER!!!!

This is how this whole thing starts, he made them as souvenirs. We cannot thank you enough for doing God's work, I love you so much. <3 <3 <3

Miyaboo speaking like Miyabi.

Soukaboo is hungry like Soukaku.

Asaboo is also lazy and just wants to relax, thankfully with Harumasa it will be able to do just that. T_T <3 <3 <3 My heart!

You tell me buddy, that's some well spent money, I bet these would be extremely popular if they ever reached the market, I just want to have them too, Hoyo, if you can make Section 6 have bangboos of themselves we the players should totally get them as well, no? I feel these 3 will be in the shop in the future, cause while they have the models, why not? I hope that we'll get to see these 3 after chapter 5, would be hilarious. Harumasa chilling at home with his cat and bangboo, Miyabi, her bangboo and her dad, who will probably laugh his head off when seeing it while also cooing at it for 5 hours straight, and Tsukishiro using Soukaboo to help her with Soukaku, though this tend to switch between Soukaku helping her with Soukaboo and Soukaboo helping her with Soukaku, when they team up, she is in for double the trouble. Unfortunatly no Yanaboo but oh well, since Tsukishiro and Soukaku lives together it's fine.

Yes they are~ <3 <3 <3 I want Asaboo and Miyaboo as plushies this size your honor take my wallet please and thank you very much~

Yeah your bangboo self was named Harumasaboo back in Virtual Revenge but I guess you changed it to your last name because it's less of a mouthful and also that you're too lazy for this long name so Asaboo it is, not to worry, both names are fine and canon now!

Brief resume of Virtual Revenge, and it looks like Harumasa is still traumatized by it, can't blame him, he's the one who was stuck as a bangboo the longest so he was the first on the brain dead list, given he is already terminally ill I can imagine he really didn't like being put in a similar situation in simulation. My poor baby.

And we are eternally grateful that you did my king~ It explains why they say those lines as well, it's really wholesome. <3 Also he calls himself, Miyabi and Soukaku their parents, my heart! So cute!

Yes. I just hope Tsukishiro won't kill you for it, though she did say she loved his bangboo form, and since they are in the likehood of Miyabi and Soukaku she probably won't get mad, let's hope.

Yes and I will do it in every filter as well~

A proud father and his 3 kids~ I bet in the future he will be asked to babysitts the other 2 alongside his. XD

With these cute faces there's no way there can be a bad photo!

Oh yeah?

Hey, no one is judging you in how you deal with the bad memories, if it works for you, who I am to tell you to not do it? Not the method I would use but to each their own.

And there it is, an offer you couldn't refuse. Good choice, I wouldn't have said no either~

Gonna have to skip to after the end because I'm only allowed 30 pictures but the girls keeps the bangboos and Harumasa keeps Asaboo like planned, I'll let you discover yourself how they reacted to them.

Hint: considering they take them home it went well~

Harumasa Triads~

Miyabi Triads~

I swear Harumasa keeps going after my heart I love him so much my heart!!!

[kingvoiddd]

HIIIIIIII I grinded like 18 hours of Genshin to try and catch up to Fontaine and I'm almost there I just had to burn through like a few months worth of content haha (I'm almost out of sumeru trust)

So! Since I have Genshin on the brain, here's some Aether headcanons!!! + some doodles of him bc I love him and also Xiao x Aether canon I am Hoyo I said it myself.

[starcurtain]

Ship haters on Hoyolab:

Hoyo themselves:

now why is the official tiktok posting this.

[justeasing]

Is it just me, or has Hoyo kinda given up on Genshin?

Because it honestly feels that way, and it's pretty depressing. Like, I used to really like Genshin Impact— Fontaine, especially! (I still go there to do all my crafting and see Katherine, etc. And if not there, then Mondstadt) But now it just feels... lifeless?

It's like they put their whole-ass pussy into Fontaine – its characters, the lore, and design, even down to mini-games/puzzles, and just lost all steam on Natlan.

Don't get me wrong! It's still gorgeous! But the environment is about all there is for me. Even the Saurians are such a letdown. Like, I heard from Neuvillette, "Natlan is the land of dragons", and I got images in my head of drakes in treetop and crevices, large winged BEASTS flying overhead at a constant rate, the world swirling with wingbeats!

Instead we got... Pokémon. Basically.

And I'm pretty sure everyone and their grandmother didn't imagine the "Nation of War" to look so lush and colorful where – instead of the walls and rockface being covered in BLOOD – everything is covered in graffiti. And, to top it off, none of that graffiti shows depictions of war, but is more just slashes of color.

Now, I know people will be like, "Well, if you set expectations you'll be disappointed," and yes. That's true. The difference here is that we've SEEN dragons in pretty much every region. We've seen Dvalin, the bones and beating heart of Durin, Morax, Orobashi's skull and ribcage, Apep, and even Neuvillette ffs! As players in this world, we hear "dragon" we think "GRANDIOSE! LARGE! MENACING!" not... cute fluffy bats and bouncing lizards. Those aren't dragons. They're dinosaurs. It's different.

Then there's the "war" part... Genshin has shown us areas that are dark and torn apart by combat. We've all BEEN to Inazuma – I do not NEED to elaborate. We've seen battlefields and remnants of destruction in the form of crashed ships, swords and spears jousting from the sand and stone, armor plating discarded and canons – weaponry! – everywhere.

Where is that type of monumental storytelling in Natlan? Where's the bloodied battlefield? Where's the desolate patch of land like Old Vanarana? A place so sullied by death nothing can grow there anymore? Where the Archon's flame has scorched away a thousand droves of Abyssal monstrosities, and yet they keep coming? WHERE IS IT? I WANT BLOOD!

So it's just disappointing, and I'm starting to feel like Hoyo themselves are giving up on Genshin Impact. I think the company's assets are starting to be moved more towards HSR and now ZZZ. I think they're possibly actually trying to KILL Genshin so they can focus on new, "more exciting" titles that have fesher graphics and more of a revenue. And, annoyingly, there's evidence in this in the way they treat their fans of these series...

HSR has had better treatment from Day 1 with higher Resin caps and Free 5☆, which Genshin has only just now received after the competition from Wuthering Waves. It's no coincidence that Wuthering comes out with its 240 Waveplates and – not ONE, but TWO! – Free 5☆ Banners (not to mention a LOT of QoL features that gave players more freedom and fun, like their Echo system VS Genshin's Artifacts, and constant Dev Team mail handouts of Astrite, etc.) and suddenly Genshin is doing the same thing with a free 5☆ Banner and getting Primos in the mail as apologies for "bugs", the new Artifact locking system, and Resin cap increase to 200, etc.

It's just ridiculous... These changes are ones that players had been asking for for FOUR YEARS and it's only now – with Wuthering – that we're getting these changes. Meanwhile, with Wuthering, they've listened to player feedback and made a bajillion positive changes in under 1 year. The playerbase has never been happier! And it shows! But it also backs up what I'm saying towards Hoyo just... giving up.

Hoyo – before Wuthering Waves – has never had to hold itself accountable. Complaints? Didn't matter. There's no bar set, it's that low. It's more like a stick in the middle of the road instead of even a speedbump. They WERE the bar to reach! So they didn't have to comply to customer feedback and never had to care. Because of that, Natlan has fallen into shambles... They don't care about coherent characters in their world backdrop!

Xilonen? The roller-blading DJ cat? That smithies up motorbikes? Yeah... she lives in a hut. In a ditch. And also there are no ocelots in Natlan. And she works with hammer and molten metal with a full mani-pedi. It's just..... what?

Kinich – uses pixels to fight people because of an ancient dragon soul trapped in a Ben 10 watch – and where are the pixels in the ancient dragon ruins, then? Or, if it's just a manifestation coded by Kinich himself, where are the pixilated accents in the Scions camps? Why aren't they blockier, or using holographic screens?

What about Mavuika, herself? Why the flying dragon bollocks does she have a MOTORCYCLE when there are no roads? We see a road in her animation, but no highways in Natlan exist. Why not? Why not make busy roadways where her bike can be used at 2x the speed or something? No..?? WHY NOT?

Because they don't care. Not anymore. Everything made sense in Mondstadt and Liyue... but after that, writing started to slip. Some parts of Inazuma and Sumeru in particular make that obvious, but I'm not gonna go into that, currently. If you want to know, send me an ask. But, right now, Natlan is a total rip-off/failure of a Nation, and I can explain more of that - too - if you want (the "rip-off" part), but now I'm tired and need to just... not.

I genuinely just wish it was better. But, why wish when everything I could ask for is now in Wuthering Waves? So... I'm just gonna play that, haha 😅

Anyways: Rant over! Hope you enjoyed/agree if you got this far! And I wish you all well on your 50/50's! 💕
