HSR LEAK SPOILERS/SPECULATIONS

So ever since Yunli was mentioned in the Cosmodyssey interaction with Jing Yuan and Yanqing, I’ve been obsessively speculating over what she’d be like if she were to appear in the game as an actual character. Leaks that she might actually become playable only fueled my brainrot further and so I created this fan design/character sheet of her. Also I drew her as what she’d look like 3 years in the future because I can’t seem to draw people to look like they’re in their early teens (I’m working on it).

Some misc. notes that I couldn’t fit in on the actual post:

Her color palette, and accessories are based off of the leaked planar set that appears to be based off of the Zhuming

Her skill inflicts the “Fire Hazard” debuff on enemies, which blasts any single target damage dealt to it onto adjacent enemies

Her Ult splash art depicts her in a forge (I’ll get around to drawing it someday)

She has a tendency to judge people based on first impressions (she’s trying to fix that)

Tries very hard to be professional but her clumsiness gets in the way

She’s very close to Huaiyan but is estranged from her parents

She and Yanqing didn’t get along very well at first, but after some shenanigans they become horrifically close besties who are menaces to society (like the Astral Express trio or Luz and Hunter from TOH)

She’s asexual

I’d like to think she becomes Sword Champion a little after Yanqing becomes Sword Champion

She likes asymmetrical clothes

Random thought but if YingXing is a playable character, I imagine he will be Fire Harmony! Fire for all the blazing flame metaphor he kept using and the fact that he was a blacksmith, an artisan who used flames regularly. Harmony because I think he is more of a support, providing others weapons back when he was in the High-Cloud Quintet.

Also, I envision him to be wearing a similar outfit to those from the Artisanship Commission because you know, he is their previous Furnace Master.

Alternatively, he can also be a Fire Hunt who uses sword to mirror Dan Heng.

Why did I think the Xianzhou alliance meant the alliance between the different Xianzhou ships omfg

Like of course it's the alliance of the races that live on the Xianzhou omg goodbye I will wither in shame

[bortbytingen]

I'm just curious. No answer is right or wrong. This is about a fictional character and personal taste. Please be nice to each other if you reblog/comment. And please, do reblog so the poll can be seen by more possible voters.

An Observation of Fashion Trends on the Xianzhou Zhuming

So I was squinting at a certain quartet's designs again (a recurring activity. I love this disjointed family) and I may have found a new set of dots to connect!

I believe the Zhuming's "design signature" -what sets it apart from the Luofu and other Xianzhou ships, that is- is the prominent use of metal in their clothing, whether as embroidered patterns or accessories and adornments (especially ones made from what seems to be brass).

cmiiw on that tho; I can't distinguish colors all too well.

Yunli is the most obvious example with all the bits and bobs all over her fit- the skirt pattern, the tiara, the hairclip, the ornaments on her top and the side of the skirt, the sleeves, the bracelets along the.... handguards(?), and the straps on her legs too.

Now, this might be less apparent at first sight, but Ren (and by extension Yingxing; he wore the same coat with the same metallic patterns) has just as many brass accessories, if not even more!

I count exactly 15 clasps -11 of which have the same stylized eye shape- on the front and the back, and his thigh strap is also metallic (because style over comfort. lmao).

This probably could've been written off as a mere coincidence with just 2 characters, but then the 2.4 livestream dropped with new models, and it turns out General Huaiyan also has metallic patterns and wears a little clip! It even matches the ones in Yunli's hair!

This could, of course, be explained as something he's passed down only to his disciples, but I think it's more likely to be common among the Zhuming's citizens- a fashion trend, as the post title suggests. Think about it; fashion is as much an expression of the self as arts and crafts can be, so it does make sense for the people renowned for their craftsmanship to incorporate hints of that in how they dress!

(TL;DR: The Zhuming fam have amazing fashion sense and I need to visit them already. When will we board the Zhuming....)

HELLO 😩😩

[hitokiri-izou]

[fragmentedblade]

Boothill's presentation being entirely on the twitter post makes me think he will be irrelevant in the story in the long(ish) run, and that the game itself won't dwell on him almost at all

[artheresy]

Thinking about how Wingweaver Xili implied the Foxians of the Zhuming have a qualities that look more akin to the Borisin

Praying to god we get to go to the Zhuming and they actually give the Foxians more pronounced animal features PLEAASSEE

Also very very interesting to observe the difference between the Foxians depending on what ship they come from… I need to research this more because I would love to show that off in some redesigns/my own designs ig for some of the Xianzhou characters we already know and potential oc designs as well

So many Zhuming thoughts, my brain is full of them

[tumblezwei]

Hold on

Acheron. One of the five rivers of the underworld from Greek mythology. Associated with misery or woe.

March's companion mission, whereupon being completed the player is given the achievement "The River Lethe's Taste is Bitter." Lethe. Another of the five rivers, associated with oblivion or forgetfulness.

There isn't a third yet, I can't set a proper precedent right now. But I'm thinking thoughts.

aaa thinking about putting liyue characters into star rail :)

characters: jing yuan x gn!reader

warnings: fluff, bad attempt at humor, reader is immortal, established relationship, jing yuan being jealous, found family slightly in there, yanqing coming in at the wrong time pt19487288482877

notes: i have fed yall enough horny food. now its time for fluff food aka small dosage of serotonin. open wideeeee🚂🚂🚂

the constant noise of your irritated lover was something that you disregarded with little to no attention. you could feel it after all. that familiar feeling of your husband’s eyes boring into the back of your skull like the insanely heavy glaive he carries. it wasn’t exactly a common feeling to receive but on the moments that it happens, you could never forget the feeling.

you can just imagine it already. the pout pulling on the white haired man’s lips, the slight narrowing of his eyes, the impatient thumps of his feet rapidly hitting the floor as small sparks of lightning would float around him. of course, you can’t forget the iconic, “what about me?” puppy eyes he pulls.

“beloved” the deep baritone voice of jing yuan calls out, sounding way too serious for anyone’s comfort. if his soldiers that stand guard inside his office would still be around, they would be shivering in their armory from the sheer amount of unsettling feeling it brought. it wasn’t like that they have never seen their general angry or serious. it was just that, it rarely happens and so much fewer now since he was nearing his retirement.

turning around from what you were most greatly occupied with, you give him a few seconds of acknowledgment. finally, you were looking at him now. your eyes on him, the brightest stars he loved to gaze into even as the ever burning ones around him twinkles. you were always his favorite.

“jing yuan” you simply hum with a nod before turning back to what you were obsessing over. the loud dramatic gasp that comes from where your husband is barely fazes you, as you knew he was simply trying to get your attention. you knew your husband like the back of your hand and you knew for a fact that he wasn’t hurt as he shows himself to be.

“how dare you!” the man’s voice raises a bit, the sound of his steps sounding heavier than usual as he finally comes behind you to sweep you up into his arms. you immediately let out a soft grunt, feeling his strong arms tighten around you possessively as he refuses to let you go. instead, he pulls your smaller form flush against himself, face buried into the crook of your neck with a "hmph!". such a big baby you were married to.

"jing yuan, let go of me" you say, not bothering to wiggle yourself out of his grasp since you knew it would be an impossible task. your husband can be dangerously clingy and possessive at times and this was definitely one of those times.

"nuh.." your husband immediately rebuttals, shaking his face and proceeding to nuzzle his face further into the crook of your neck. deeply inhaling your scent, you could see his broad shoulders visibly relax and slump to indicate that he was calming down from his earlier mini temper tantrum. the two of you stay like that for a while. you, held captive in his arms as your husband takes his time to cuddle you close to himself. as close as fleshly possible. not even single moment for something else to wedge between the two of you, not even the cool air of his office. if there were to be the smallest bit of distance between the two of you, he would be extremely deprived of his already dangerously low level of [name] affections.

you had been away to the xianzhou zhuming for a business trip. as one of the most accomplished merchant and the head of the trade association, sometimes your work required you to move back and forth between places, worlds and even galaxies. and this time was no different as your business partner of long time in the xianzhou zhuming had come to a stalemate in their business there due to the ipc's recent dabbling in the xianzhou alliance's trading business. it had dragged on way longer than what you would've liked which also translated to an extended period of time of not seeing your husband, your son and daughter all together. a time away that your clingy husband took very badly, even worse than your son and daughter.

but not for you, as the first thing you did upon coming back from the trip and stepping in through the large doors of his office was to head straight towards your daughter - mimi. the large lion was sulking quietly in his office ever since you went away for your business trip, constantly pawing at jing yuan's clothes and whining for your presence. and upon seeing your face, she immediately pounced in your direction, wasting no time as she pushed you down into the hologram showcasing the large starchess board as she licked all over your face. an act of affection that you returned with a hearty laugh and kisses to her adorable fluffy face. an act of affection that your husband was very very very jealous of.

he was supposed to be the one to tackle you down and pepper your face in kisses and in return have his face peppered in kisses in return! not mimi!

and yes, jing yuan was jealous over his own fluffy daughter stealing his spouse away from him. blatantly, unabashedly, without shame was jealous over. which led to now, in you being trapped in his inescapable hold. really, the galls of this man.

"mmrrp? mrreeow?" mimi meows, butting her head against jing yuan's legs to get his attention while also making it sound as if she wanted the attention back on her again. it was tough having not one but two needy lions scampering for your attention.

"mimi, you have already had enough of their attention. now it's my turn with my own spouse!" jing yuan chides the lion softly, making her let out an irritated huff. mimi wanted her parent's attention but jing yuan also wanted his spouse's attention. it was a tug of war between the two lions with you as their unfortunate victim.

after many back and forths between the two lions, jing yuan had decided he had enough and decided to swoop you off of your feet. quite literally. the smug bastard had kicked your legs under you, making you fall back into a dip with a startled gasp. giving you an "i told you so" look, your husband cups your cheek in the palm of his hand before leaning in to place a fluffy of kisses on your face. cheeks, the bridge of your nose, forehead, chin, eyelids, lips - nowhere was free from the mercy of his kisses and jing yuan was going to make the whole world be reminded that you two were happily married.

"general! i heard that [name]'s bac-EWWWW!!!" the sudden barging in of you two's son is what finally separates you from his barrage of kisses. turning to look at his son, jing yuan makes a shooing motion with his hand - momentarily letting go of you cheek in the process - with mimi.

"me and [name] are busy right now, yanqing. take mimi out for a walk for an hour or two" the white haired man says without an ounce of shame, your breathless self still in his hold. reluctantly, yanqing does as told, calling mimi to his side to leave you two lovebirds be for some time. but not without one final word of advice.

"wait until back home at least, you two!!" and with that, your son and daughter were gone, leaving you both behind to have at least a small dose of affection that the both of you were deprived off of. with an amused chuckle at his son's words, he shakes his head before turning to you with his resting cat face. pair of golden eyes crinkling as mirth and devotion dance in them while his lips pull upwards into the genuine smiles he permanently has on his face whenever you were in his line of sight. all jing yuan could do was thank the reignbow arbiter and every aeons out there for granting him to be able to live in the same time as you.

"how i am blessed to be with you, my most beloved"
