On Ao3 or below the cut!
It’s always a fun day when Dex finds xemself a new project. It’s an even more fun day when xe decides to rope other people into that project without telling them what they’re getting roped into.
Lovise is currently living in fear of what Dex has found this time. Xe’s not maniacally supervillain laughing quite yet, so that’s a good sign, though it’s certainly not removed from the realm of possibilities.
All xe’s done is drag Sophie and Keefe, presumably kicking and screaming, to Rimeshire. These three definitely can’t cause massive amounts of chaos. To be fair, with a Sophie comes a Sandor, so it can’t be all bad, but it’s still quite unsafe. Ro’s still off somewhere chasing down Cad, so she’s, thankfully, not a concern either.
“Hello, everyone. I thank you all for meeting with me on this fine evening against your better judgements—,” Dex begins.
Keefe interrupts, “That’s an understatement,” a smirk playing on its lips.
Dex gives it a look, a hard edge creeping into xor voice. “--The reason we are gathered here today is because I was recently informed about a human game by the name of bunco. I was also told that I would need to gather multiple willing victims in order to play. I think Sophie was simply trying to avoid me, but here we are anyway, so if you would please explain to us the rules.”
“I should just jump out your window,” Sophie grumbles.
“With or without teleporting before hitting the ground?” asks Keefe.
Sophie considers its question for a moment. “I haven’t decided yet. I guess we’ll see if I go splat.”
Lovise flinches as Sandor pinches the bridge of his nose. “Today’s objective is that we’re trying to avoid an Elwin call.”
“He’ll be so splat, there won’t be any need,” Keefe says, flipping its hair out of its eyes.
That really does not improve the situation by any meaningful metric.
Dex glances back and forth in the silence between Sophie and Keefe several times before asking, “The rules, please?”
Sophie leans forward and clasps his hands together. “Well, we aren't going to get very far unless you have six sided dice.”
Xe leans back, and without even looking, pulls out a clear box of more dice than xe should be trusted to have. And cards. And twenty-sided dice. And flat circles that probably have some purpose. Where xe got all this, Lovise doesn’t know. She doesn’t ask.
“How many do we need?” Dex asks, the dice clinking around in the hard plastic shell as xe digs them out of their prison.
“If we want to be nice and share, then three. If not, then we’re gonna need three per person.”
“Keep your grubby little hands off my fucking dice. Give me some d20s, baby.”
Dex blushes to xor ears as he hands out dice to everybody. Keefe pouts when it’s given d6s instead of the d20s like it wanted.
Sophie leans back to look at Sandor. “Are you sure you don’t wanna play?”
Lovise then takes that opportunity to make the very bad life choice of kneeling down to join their little circle. What’s the worst that can happen? They throw dice at me? I think that’s gonna happen either way.
Two matching dice and one mismatched die, all in shades of green, roll their way towards her and settle just shy of being in her lap. A slight twinge of disappointment flickers in her chest that she doesn’t get Dex’s gold-plated plastic one, but that’s probably lost under xor bed or something.
Sophie stares at Sandor for another long second before jumping into an explanation of how to play. “Bunco has six rounds—round one you’re rolling for ones, round two you’re rolling for twos, so on and so forth. So, uh, Dex, if you would roll your dice for us, please.”
Dex rolls xor metallic red Clan Sea Fox dice from xor adventures playing Battletech to get a 1, 3, and a 4.
“Very nice. I guess we should probably nominate a scorekeeper—”
Sophie is interrupted by the crashing sounds of Dex rummaging through the shit in xor room. Xe claims there’s a system. There’s no system. Miraculously, xe finds both a piece of paper that’s only used on one side and looks like it’s only been through a few avalanches, as well as a pen whose ink is almost guaranteed to be drier than ogre skin.
These get shuffled into Lovise’s responsibility because she seems “trustworthy.” Considering she’s thrown more games of Catan than one would think in order to make sure Dex doesn’t pout, that’s probably not ideal for integrity’s sake.
“So this is round one, so just kind of make a table tracking our point values with tally marks or some similar system if you guys don’t have that. The column headers can just be our initials or something. Be lazy. Just give Dex one point for that one xe rolled.” Sophie turns back to Dex. “You may roll again. And, yes, that does mean all the dice. We’re not playing Yahtzee, Keefe.”
Dex rolls again. 3,5,5.
“Because you didn’t get a one, the turn moves to the next victim. Do we wanna go clockwise or counterclockwise? Or are analog clocks not something that exist around here?”
Before this devolves into a shouting match, Lovise suggests, “You go next so then I’ll go last.”
Sophie picks up his dice and begins shaking them. “In case I forget to mention it, three of any number that isn’t the round number—say I roll 3 fours right now—that’s worth five points. Rolling three of the target number is 21 points and is called a bunco. And we’re going to keep rolling until someone hits 21 points, and then we go to the next round rolling for twos, et cetera.”
He lets the marbled, matching blue dice go. 2,5,6.
“Damn it. You gave me the cursed dice, didn’t you? Whatever. Keefe, it’s your turn.”
“You better have given me the good dice.” Its dice don’t match by any means—one black and blue, one marbled brown, and one beige—but they’re all stolen from Munchkin, made obvious by the helmet representing the number one. 1,4,5.
“Lovise, please mark down a point and Keefe, you go again.”
1,2,4.
“One more point. Roll again.”
“Again? Exile.” 2,2,3.
“Holy fuck, I just thought you got five points. Don’t do that again. Lovise, it’s your turn whenever you’re ready.”
The unfamiliar plastic dice are awkwardly light in her palm as she rolls. 1,2,4. “Can someone count how many I’m going to have to add so I don’t have to keep pausing?”
Dex nods and puts a finger up—thankfully not that finger—as Lovise scoops the dice up again.
1,1,2.
Sophie leans forward, his head in his hands. “If you had just gotten a bunco, I would have jumped out the window.”
“Is that worth one point per one rolled, or some other weird stacking rule like rolling three?”
“It’s one point per one rolled. So in total, she’s gotten three points this turn. One-seventh of the way to the end.”
“One-seventh of the way to one-sixth of the way to the end,” Keefe corrects.
“I’ll do my best,” Lovise says as she scoops the dice up again, only to roll a 3,5, and 6. She marks down her three points. “To be fair, I did try.”
“That you did. Just not enough,” Dex says. Xe rolls a 1,1, and 2, prompting another Sophie-stroke. On the reroll, xe gets a 1,6,6. On the next reroll, xe gets a 3,5,6. Lovise writes all this down, bringing xor total up to 4.
Sophie’s turn again. 2,2,5. “This shit is so fucking rigged.”
“No, that’s just how probabilities work sometimes,” Dex says as Keefe rolls. 1,4,6.
Sophie counts on his fingers as Keefe’s streak continues with a 1,5,5.
1,1,5.
2,2,4 and it all comes crashing down. Those four points bring its total up to six.
The turn comes back to Lovise, who rolls a 2,4,5, leaving as quickly as it arrived.
Dex seizes the opportunity to get a 1,4,5, followed closely by a 4,5,5. Sophie is blessed with a gorgeously useless 3,4,4, paralleled by Keefe’s 2,5,6.
Lovise follows that up with a 1,2,6, forgetting to ask someone to count and instead pausing to write it down on the scorecard. The next roll is a 1,4,5, which doesn’t get written down, and then 3,3,4, which has no reason to be marked. This brings her up to tie with Dex, though the both of them are still trailing behind Keefe.
Dex fumbles this opportunity to take the lead with a 2,5,6.
Sophie, on the other hand, is sulking something fierce when the turn comes back to him, convinced the ones on the dice are never going to appear. It turns out, with a roll of 1,1,5, they do, in fact, have ones on them, and those are his first two points on the board. They’re also his only two points on the board as his next roll is a 3,5,6.
Keefe and Lovise get a grand total of zero points during their turns with a 2,3,4 and a 3,4,6, respectively.
They do, however, learn that having a straight of numbers like Keefe’s does not count for any points. This is bullshit and should be amended to make this a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
And that’s when Dex decides to show off. Xor first roll is 1,3,4. Standard. Normal. Trustworthy. The next is 1,3,5. Like. Okay. You’re being a little extra there but go off I guess. And then the third roll. 1,3,6.
Stringing together three points in three separate rolls is a little absurd, which is why it gets nuked by a 3,3,5 moments later. This one turn didn’t net that many points in the grand scheme of things, but it does bring xem ahead to eight. More than a third of the way to the end goal.
The ones fall off the dice for an entire cycle, rotating around the entire group until Sophie’s next turn before any more points make their way onto the board. He does get a 1,1,4 so it’s not nothing, but the excitement quickly fades as the reroll of 2,3,6 materializes.
This brings him to four, narrowing the gap between first and last place without changing any placements.
The ones don’t appear again until his next turn, revealing themselves with a roll of 1,2,4. The reroll is a 5,5,6.
“Damn it. I really thought that was gave me five points.”
Keefe tilts its head. “I guess you just can’t count.”
“You’re right. Dex, do you have any integer dice?”
“No changing dice in the middle of the game. What happened to last time when you cried for the blue ones?”
“You’ve cursed the blue ones since the last time we played Munchkin!”
“Or maybe I just wanted to make sure that you could successfully run away instead of getting violated by a tongue demon next time!”
“That’s just because you transed my gender and the fucking tongue demon got rid of my cheese grater of peace!”
Munchkin is an…interesting game, Lovise will give it that.
“I was just being accurate to the real world!” Dex argues.
“The real world hadn’t figured that out yet! You just wanted the -5 modifier during my next combat phase.”
“Maybe I have a new ability that’s predicting the future. Did you ever think about that, Mr. I-have-five-abilities?”
Sophie looks at Keefe, who shrugs. “I can’t tell what people’s abilities are, dude. After they’ve manifested, fucking forget it.”
“Oh, please. Like you two haven’t had your hands all over each other since we were staying at Alluveterre.”
“Yeah, but my ability’s on the newer side, so there’s not a whole lot I can do. Now, can it be my fucking turn, please? I need to show all of you how you roll dice.”
Sophie huffs. “Sure, whatever.”
Keefe gives him a bright false smile as it rolls. 1,6,6. “Lovise, if you would mark that down, I’d appreciate it greatly.”
She had already written it down and is waiting for it to roll again. 1,3,3.
Keefe’s confidence hits the rafters as it scoops up the dice again, only to have it come fluttering down in tatters with a 3,5,6. It’s currently tied with Dex for first place.
It passes the turn to Lovise with a not-insignificant amount of grumbling. She gets a point with a roll of 1,3,4, but doesn’t have the necessary luck to get a string of rolls as her turn dies with a reroll of 2,2,4.
She’s up to six points, and at this rate, the gnomes are going to get Ravagog back before the first round is over.
Dex doesn’t choose to help this problem with xor roll of 3,5,5. It was so close to being promising.
Sophie and Keefe each pick up a point on their next turns. Keefe’s currently working on getting three dice to show the same face and it isn’t working quite yet, with two doubles in a row. (The first roll was a 1,3,3 and the second was 4,5,5.)
It’s a whole cycle through their turns—Lovise 2,3,4; Dex 2,4,5; Sophie 3,3,6; Keefe 3,5,6—before Keefe officially declares, “The ones have fallen off the dice.”
Lovise proves that to be not quite accurate by finding a 1,4,4 somewhere in there. Then, just to make sure, she finds a 1,1,3. That’s the last of the ones on her dice for now, however, ending her turn with a 3,4,6.
That brings her up to 9 points and into the lead, though not by much.
Dex rolls a gorgeous, worthless 2,3,4 on xor next turn, and Sophie follows that up with an equally beautiful 3,5,6.
Keefe can’t let this stand any longer with a turn composed of rolls of 1,3,6; 1,5,6; and 2,6,6. Its total comes to 11 and they’re nearing the halfway point. Though, dice will be thrown if Keefe wins, so trying to lengthen the game any way possible is advantageous.
That’s Lovise strategy as she rolls a nice, normal 1,4,4 and scratches it onto the scoreboard. She picks the dice back up to get a 4,5,6.
Straights really should count for points, but when you’re playing with a bunch of gays, they don’t. Also that’s what Sophie says the rules are, but that’s the better reason.
This turn brings her to a total of ten points. A nice, round number.
Dex, on the other hand, has other plans. Xor starts off by rolling a 1,4,6. As one does. Xe continues by rolling a 1,3,5. As one also does.
And that’s when shit gets tense. Xe rolls again, but doesn’t get a one. Xe does, however, get a 2,2,2.
Five points.
Keefe’s bloodthirst is gleaming in its eyes as Dex picks up the dice again. Thankfully, Lovise doesn’t have to hold it back as xe rolls a 2,3,5, killing xor streak.
That doesn’t reverse the past. The damage is done. Xe’s at fifteen points after pulling off that move.
“Always keep in mind that anyone can get a bunco at any time. Three ones and this is all over.” Sophie then takes his own advice and tries his best to make that happen. He’s actually fairly close with a 1,1,6 and an aneurysm from Keefe. His second attempt, a 3,5,6, is notably less successful but still brings him to eight points.
Keefe is not successful in its own 4,6,6 attempt. The grumbles that the dice are cursed have begun once again in greater force this time.
Lovise and Dex both pick up a point on their next turns and then the ones fall off the dice for two entire cycles. As in, it goes through Sophie, Keefe, Lovise, Dex, Sophie, Keefe, Lovise, and Dex before another point is on the board.
Where do the ones go? Nobody knows. They’re definitely still on the dice—Keefe checked. Loudly. They just don’t appear. For eight rolls in a row.
Sophie interrupts this spiraling trend with a 1,2,3 like a light in the darkness. Then, he gets a 1,3,6 with significantly less symbolic meaning behind it. He follows this up with a 2,3,5 that makes the veil of inky blackness fall over them once again. He’s up to ten points, so he’s still in last place, but less firmly so than before this last turn.
It’s Sophie’s next turn before the dice bless the group with a holy one in a roll of 1,3,6. It’s strangely fitting how the forgotten middle child of his previous round is now the roll that slows the encroaching emptiness.
Its luminescence is snuffed out almost as soon as it began like a candle on a windy night with a 2,4,5.
“Come on, you worthless sons of bitches,” Keefe mutters as it shakes the dice. 1,3,4. “Ooh, swearing at the dice is the answer? You should’ve told me this earlier. You pieces of shit better give me a one.” 1,3,4.
“To be fair, I’m kind of surprised it took you this long to figure out that secret,” Dex says.
Keefe ignores xem. “Please, motherfuckers.” 2,4,5.
Unfortunately, Lovise doesn’t get to learn new swear words from Keefe’s newfound Polyglot ability with the end of that streak that took it to thirteen points.
It’s said that some humans find thirteen to be an unlucky number. It’ll be interesting to see if the dice agree with this superstition by grinding Keefe’s point gains to a halt.
Lovise rolls on her next turn—2,2,4. It’s getting real fucking old rolling and rolling and having nothing new to show for it.
Dex’s turn is filled with as much excitement as Lovise’s just was. Which is to say, none. Xe rolls a 4,6,6. Lovise thought xe got three 6s, but no. If xe had, the round would be over and Dex would be inventing a new victory dance.
Sophie, however, doesn’t let that stop him. 1,6,6. 1,4,6. 1,2,6. The dice seem rigged—almost like he isn’t even rolling them, but different ones are ending up as the ones and sixes. The only reason Lovise even bothered to notice was that she doesn’t trust any of her company that much.
Then Sophie decides to roll a 2,6,6, proving that all of this was meaningless speculation. But he is up to thirteen—tied with Keefe—so that’s nice for everyone except for Lovise in last place.
It takes a whole cycle of grumbling, swearing at dice, and definitely not purposely rolling them at others before Keefe gets another point. Actually, two points. 1,1,4. It ends up only being those two points, as its next roll is 2,3,3 and a couple of tears that it wasn’t worth five points. That brings it up to fifteen, gnawing at the back of Dex’s heels for the honor of being in the lead.
The dice giveth and they taketh away.
They taketh away Lovise’s, Dex’s, Sophie’s, and Keefe’s next attempt to get points.
“Bless me with your golden glory,” Lovise whispers, eyes skyward as she shakes the dice. 1,2,6.
She scratches her twelfth point into the paper before returning to the translucent cubes taunting her. She rolls again. 2,4,6.
Then it’s Dex’s turn once more—3,4,5. A roll that has absolutely nothing.
Then it’s Sophie’s turn once more—3,3,6. If only four threes would count for something. Saw the dice apart. Do whatever it takes.
Then it’s Keefe’s turn once more—2,4,4. It’s a sharpie away from drawing extra dots. If every side has six dots, every roll is five points.
Then it’s Lovise’s turn once more—4,5,6. Straights still don’t count for points. With the way this game is going, it seems like the gays don’t either.
When the turn returns to Dex, expectations are on the floor. Then xe rolls a 1,5,6. That’s xor seventeenth point. Four more and this is over. Four more and two becomes the magic number.
Xe rolls again.
2,2,2.
Lovise’s breath catches in her throat. Five points. Bringing Dex to 22 and the round to proceed forward.
It’s almost poetic how the first round ends with the next magic number, come to bestow them with its splendor before it disappears from the dice forever.
Sophie, a smirk playing on his lips, taps on his Imparter in what looks like a very controlled fashion until an ear-splitting bell noise echoes through Dex’s room.
The only reason Dex merely flinches away and doesn’t banish him immediately from the premises for all eternity is presumably because rolling dice game fun when you win.
“My family’s bunco game has a bell that comes with it. That’s the closest I can do. Technically, I think the rules say you’re supposed to ring it only when you get a bunco. But we used to ring it at every available opportunity.” He turns to Keefe. “Which is why it’s as far from you as I can possibly get.”
Keefe pouts overdramatically, a feat considering it was already doing that at Dex’s accomplishment.
But Dex’s accomplishment means nothing. There’s five more rounds before Dex starts arguing that they should play the extended edition with the d100s xe inevitably has stored somewhere.
The following rounds feel as though they race by.
The twos round, Dex wins once more by rolling a triplet of 2s, except this time it’s worth a full 21 points. Keefe made it to 20 before Dex pulled that one out of xor ass, which is highly suspicious, so a dice trade is initiated. A diagonal cross results in Lovise getting Sophie’s blue dice and vice versa with Lovise’s green ones.
The threes round, against all odds, Dex wins again. If xe isn’t cheating, that’s one Exile of an accomplishment, and if xe is, xe’s not doing a very good job at hiding it. Dice are traded again, and Lovise ends up with Dex’s metal Battletech ones.
The antepenultimate fours round, Dex takes it upon xemself to win again. Xe has the audacity to get a triplet of 1s and 3s in the same roll streak. The fact that xe hasn’t been burned at the stake like the witch xe is is a fucking miracle.
Lovise having to fight off a feral Sophie and Keefe is not a fight that’s going to be pleasant. Don’t get her wrong, she’d still win, but she might get a couple of bite marks.
They switch the dice again, and Lovise ends up with her original green dice, traitorous in their assistance of Sophie and Keefe over the past two rounds but magnificent in their return.
The penultimate fives round, Keefe finally gets to stop the waterfall of crocodile tears and replace them with actual tears as the dice finally decree that it’s worthy of winning. Dex has already won the game beyond defeat but it’s not about winning anymore. It’s about not losing and second place is still better than last place.
Now, to be fair, second place is the first place of losers, so maybe it’s just trying to say that it’s the top loser in the world. That would make a lot of sense.
Dex is also, notably, allowed to keep xor dice. All of the useful rolls were used up and xor seven points at the end of the round didn’t seem like enough of a threat.
And it is finally time for the grand finale. The ultimate challenge of dice throwing. The sixes round.
Lovise gets so, so close to winning. She has twenty whole fucking points. Yes, all of the points are fucking.
And then Sophie just decides, “oh, yeah, I’ll get a bunco. No big deal” as the dice settle into a 6,6,6.
It is, in fact, a big deal.
Sandor will be hearing about this moment for all eternity. Lovise will make him suffer. He deserves it for his charge’s utter impunity.
It may or may not have been Lovise’s mostly-unintentional death glare that caused Sophie and Keefe to fabricate reasons to not be at Rimeshire anymore as they light leap away.
Dex begins stuffing the dice back into the box, clinking as they slide down unwillingly, forming a lopsided hot mess.
As soon as she’s certain Sophie and Keefe have vacated the premises, Lovise turns to xem and asks “How’d you cheat?”
Xor hands fly up, framing xor face with xor palms out. “To be completely fair, I only cheated in the second round.”
“I didn’t ask ‘did you cheat?’ I asked ‘how did you cheat?’”
Dex digs out the Battletech dice xe was using in the first two rounds and rolls them around in xor hand. “It’s really easy to load metal dice, especially when you’ve got magnets to turn it off when someone wants to check if they’re loaded. I haven’t figured out how to load high numbers with it yet. And, besides, I forgot to do it in the first round and it only shifts the probabilities a little bit. It’s not cheating that much.”
“Yes it is.” Lovise pauses for dramatic effect. “Next time, if you have loaded dice, I expect some too.”
Dex throws xor head back, laughing. “I’ll make sure to get around to that as soon as possible, but first: I gotta go get some snackies from downstairs.”

Came across these old drawings where I experimented with an alt outfit Lauren. Still not entirely sure what I want to do with it but it’s definitely staying in rotation.
#I get weirdly anxious about changing Lauren’s design#too much#because it feels relatively iconic to me idk I don’t want to alter it too greatly#I like this outfit tho#it’s cute#hilda#hilda the series#netflix hilda#hilda netflix#art#my art#digital art#fanart#doodle#drawing#Lauren Hilda#Hilda Lauren#Hilda oc#oc#my oc#character design#sketch#every now and then I get the urge to update this outfit and make it her permanent one#there are two wolves in side of me#modernity and tradition#THIS outfit couldn’t be permanent I don’t think bc it just doesn’t get her personality across quite as well#don’t get me wrong she’d wear this#but she’s a very strict and hard working character and this outfit reads more casual and laid back#I could see it as a s3 outfit#but only the kids got new outfits in s3 so I probably wouldn’t give Lauren a fully new one

#romance club#rc hsr#rc heavens secret requiem#I could be wrong abt some stuff#since I had to choose between LIs for some scenes#so I’ve had to rely on spoilers from others rather than seeing everything in my own game#not that I’m complaining at all#just explaining#only thing that could make it better would be a second fem LI#for the exclusive lady romancers#so so glad that’s an RC thing now moving forward 👍#rc september 2024 update

the hot biracial/ethnicically ambigous vampire who has committed murder i think..??
he has a sister (maybe) named Claudia and she seems cool (and has a homeorotic relationship with a ginger girl i think. also i think she murders at some point too
there is an open vampire polycule happening and they all happen to be thirsting over the second guy? but they've all fucked each other
anal probably
gay south Asian vampire dude who is clueless but looks pretty cute tbh
blood sucking??? more murder???
there's one guy called armand and one guy called louis idk who they are tho
1800s era i think......
#bruh this show looks so interesting#i think i'm gonna go watch it now#no spoilers btw!!#i shall update u guys when i finish#gonna be interesting to see what i got right and wrong#iwtv#amc iwtv#iwtv louis#amc interview with the vampire#interview with the vampire#lestat de lioncourt#iwtv lestat

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.
if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.
#it was genuinely surprising to see people talk about inaccessibility and cost of comics here#like ik most of you arent dc fans but i was still surprised#literally everyone in the dc fandom knows about this and uses it regularly#i just forgot that people who arent comics fan wouldnt know about the free comic sites lol#new runs are updated too! its not just the old stuff!#so no you dont need a comic store or a shit ton of money to read the comics#dpxdc#if we're talking movies and shows then use fmovies#DEF use an adblocker (and vpn if you have one) for that though#and since this is directed at dp fans id highly suggest watching the bat.man scooby doo crossover!#its amazing and imo is a great example of mixing bat.man with a more comedic child friendly vibe#bat.man is so goofy in that movie i love it aldhg#oh man... thats making me think of dpxdcxsd crossover now...#is the acronym for scooby doo sd? that feels wrong#well anyway if you want to read the comics for free you can lol#remember! the dc fandom has been here for decades! we have all the resources you need!! dont be afraid to look or ask!#and if you dont know where to start reading - just pick your favorite character and find a masterlist made by an obsessed fan#and start there lol#but if anyone wants recs let me know and ill be happy to help :)

I'm Disappointed in How Honkai Star Rail's 2.6 Update Handled Boothill
I posted this elsewhere, but I thought to post this here.
If you're unable to take criticism of HSR and its writing, then don't read.
Is it just me? Well, it probably is, but I'm going to make a post (more like an essay) about it anyway.
I think a character like Boothill– one driven by anger, hate and revenge– isn't one to just be ignored or accepted. This is the kind of character that should be deconstructed. He claims to protect the innocent, and kill those who are evil– but who is he to decide who is innocent, and who is guilty? If he claims to spread justice– well, what is justice? Is it really as simple as the deadly means he uses, or is this all just a wall to justify his embracing of violence, a method of lashing out he uses in response to his trauma? I mean– he's killed a lot of people, and if those people include IPC lackeys (they almost certainly do), then there's no doubt at least some of them were innocent by most definitions of the word. And, if they're all truly just evil and guilty– well, that just feels like a weakness of the narrative, and its unwillingness to genuinely explore the possible issue it raises, an easy way out so to say. Boothill comes across as hypocritical to me, since who's to say that in the eyes of another, he's not also a villain/criminal to be put down? Is he not guilty in many ways too, maybe even within his own moral framework?
I'd LOVE to see the HSR narrative tackle these things, and I was hoping it would– but this update doesn't seem to have done any of that, even if it tried to open up his character.
I don't like that the fact that he genuinely doesn't seem to have any qualms with killing goes unquestioned. Don't get me wrong– I love morally grey/dark characters– but only if they're handled well. And I don't think that's the case here, since it feels like the narrative fails to frame his acts as something questionable. Even the robot ape guy he threatens brings up that taking a life the first time would make anyone hesitate, even the most heinous of villains– yet Boothill doesn't, and this... isn't really brought up again? Even though I think it really should be? If a couple things were flipped, Boothill could easily be a (really cool) tragic villain, or questionable anti-hero– but it feels like hoyo is just trying to make him marketable without really exploring these interesting ideas, because they might make him look less innocent/likeable.
I make this analogy a lot, but I think the best character to look at when it comes to 'anti-hero who is convinced that he's spreading justice and defending the weak, when in reality it's just a front for violence/trauma, and their morals desperately need to be deconstructed' is Raiden from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. If you know, you'll probably understand what I mean– if not, I'm happy to elaborate.
Either way, I just hope that when Boothill inevitably gets more development, these things are explored in some capacity. I love him as a character, I just don't like how the narrative is dealing with him so far.
(I'm very happy to have a discussion about this– I'm not aiming to change anyone's mind if they enjoyed the update's contents– but I did want to speak my opinion).
(ALso- I brought this up in a discord chat, and I want to bring it up again. This is kind of comparable to Light Yagami's mindset– OBVIOUSLY they are literal opposites in personality and character, but the whole concept of 'I eradicate the guilty and protect the innocent' seems to be driving both of them. The difference is that Death Note bothered to analyse this idea and point out how ultimately wrong it is for one person to decide who is innocent or guilty, who deserves to live or die– while Honkai Star Rail not only avoids this, but almost seems to frame it as heroic? To be blunt– I think that is incredibly stupid.)
#rambles#honkai star rail#boothill#I know this will cause disagreement but that's part of the fun#If you disagree please do so politely#do not send me hate over this#and yes some people pointed out that this all might be explored in a later update#and I really hope that ends up being true because I see great potential in this!#it's just that for now I am disappointed#If I am proven wrong in future I will be overjoyed#At least Sampo and Dr Ratio are still my epicc bois#uncursed by the narrative (yet)

LMFAOOOO
It's very unclear! But Alfonse's "It's been at least 10 years since Sharena was a child" line is a rough estimate itself. I feel like it could place Sharena anywhere to 18 to 20 when she joined the Order of Heroes (this is just my headcanon though, based on what's typical irl -- there's also a possibility that in Askr, the age you're considered "an adult" is different, but that's also speculation)
But if Sharena was anywhere from 18 to 20 when she joined the Heroes, and granting that a few years have passed to get to Book 4. Maybe 22? 24? At oldest? If every book is a year. Which in that case!
Yeah she could be at this point actually 🤔 Or maybe 26.
And really you can throw any random number at Alfonse like. I kinda hc he's 3 years older than her, if not 4. They do seem close in age, but far enough that Alfonse has always felt more "grown up" to her (possibly by the way he was treated/raised, many possibilities). But going off those numbers, he could be 29 or 30ish current Book, if we're going w Sharena being 26 (makes me wonder if his Brave alt is gonna make him look "more mature"... like his portrait always read as young adult to me, but I wonder if he'll be a little less baby faced.)
#feh#as for veronica my brain goes soup mode trying to figure out the math/timelines BC there's such an age difference#plus bc her portrait was like that for so long (baby mode) i just. eternally see that vero as baby veronica.#she is eternally 13 to me. until she got her portrait update. now she's 15 and her life is a fuckinh nightmare. to me.#and extra emphasis on 'to me' bc like. she could very well be older than that actually. i hadn't considered it.#also if my math is wrong. i'm so sorry. it was my worst subject.#sharena#fe alfonse

AND ALSO. THERE WAS NO TRAINER ON THE SCHEDULE.#even tho the drive is far. i wouldve driven up there today to see if i could shadow if i had known there was someone to shadow there#bcs even if i was wrong abt the day 2 come in at least i wouldnt waste my time but i didnt even know if there was someone there with a#trainer title. so i just missed a day i didnt even know i rlly had. FOR NOTHING. UGHH. I FEEL SO STUPID.

oof artblock be upon us
#i only have time to draw like. one day a week#when there's a comic you try to update monthly it goes by pretty quick#but right now i can't see where it's going + it's getting hard to spend 8-10 hours on a page that will get 2-3 comments#and then there's wanting to draw every character in an unrelated video game and then some#and then. i sit down like. this is my weekly drawing window. i haven't drawn in a week i'm gonna draw so much / wrong !! it's all shit#in fact the very concept of a drawing window sucks because it ended up being an obligation/pressure#and then i'll just boot up medibang and sit paralyzed in front of my 40 wips ! lol !!#weugh#cool story pyro

I played some Alicia online again and I just had to draw another armor set, twin drawing to this one. I also decided to include my favorite animal companion cause I love her
#I don't know why the background is so abstract it just came out that way#also there's something wrong with the horse's face#I do not know what but I can see it and I can't fix it#I used a reference and still think horses are super hard to draw#but the armor was super fun to draw#it's always the best part for some reason#also I really love this snake#In alicia online you have to finish some quests to unlock the incubator you can use to hatch your animal companions#but I started playing before they introduced that and had some animals when the quest updated and I lost the incubator I got stuck with the#animal I had with me at the moment - the snake#I'm so emotionally bonded with that snake she's been with me for like 2 years now since I cannot change her and I don't think I want to#she's so cute#she has a little flower bud on her head and tail#art#alicia online#snake#horse#cinnamon's doodles

After queuing up 5 polls on different orders of sponge I have decided to start by Phylum rather than Order because I am a Coward.
Here’s what you’ll be missing:
(Source)
#don’t get me wrong sponges are infinitely fascinating animals but I feel like interest in this tourney might peter out quick#after people have several weeks of sponge polls before even getting to worms#i know yall just wanna see the Kitty Cats and Dogies#but I still want to give every species an equal chance#the pinned post has now been updated though so please reblog that version!#extras
