Bireena request: 2/5 (request from anonymous)
Uhh slight boobie warning under the cut vvv
The titan versions get along a little TOO well hehehehehehehhehehe
#sus tag#bireena#bi han x sareena#sareena x bi han#bi Han#sareena#mk1#mortal kombat 1#titan bi han#sub zero#mortal kombat mythologies#so yeah I donāt think bi Han can sing really#big bro needs some cough drops first#Iāve heard someone ai generate him singing and it almost cause me permanent damage š#I donāt think he can dance either since he seems to be more focused on physical strength than gymnastics unlike Kuai Liang#but I think titan bi Han is nice enough that heād make an attempt for Sareena#heās just built different#a good guy..l well I mean not perfect Iām sure his kill count is just as bad as regular bi Han#but I think he took steps to ensure heād be a better person#headcanon- Sareena is dead in his universe along with many of his loved ones so he has survivors guilt#which led him to becoming a better person#basically living his life they way he thought theyād want him to#for Sareena.. bi Han is dead in her universe so seeing this one nearly broke her heart again but she saw the significant improvement#she probably became the way she is because she got sick of people losing themselves to temptation on evil#so sheās probably got the same motives as Ashrah#also sheās got a daughter from her bi Han before he died#so it came as a shock when titan bi Han met the lil one#BUT ANY WAY THIS IS ALL NONSENSE#imma stop rambling for now#my art

WATER SEVEN BABYYYYY
Look at robin reacting when luffy says he wont give her up.... š„ŗš„ŗ
This is a joke right now but its actually a one piece tenet aldjsisjka
Usopp aksbaksjakqk the foreshadow is foreshadowing... Also Robin being happy with the crew after the Aokiji incident... Fuck!!!!
Sanji thinking robin just vanished or flew away and suddenly usopp is soaring thru the skies... imagine
AAAAARGGGGHHHH YOU CAN SEE THE GEARS TURNING
Zoro talking to merry..... only while he is alone of course
Why are nami and sanji matching ajdhakjsk look at the citrus sisters
Carpenter: maybe it was the government
Gov agent: I don't think so, also don't say that they are everywhere
LUFFY SUPPORTS WOMEN'S WRONGS!!!
Don't scream att chopper like that!!! Look at him... So small....
Imu tease???? (No) (Also I've changed websites again bc the translation is kinda off , I can't find a good quality b&w spanish translation and the colors scare me (i want the real manga experience))
GET HIM ICEBURG!!!!
I truly forgor if this is just a lie about her wanting to find the rio poneglyphs or genuine because she wants to die and will do it for them... because in skypiea she says she is not interested in the weapons so maybe if the gov pardons her but considering what she wants is illegal then idk abdjabjs this is such a dumb thing to forget... like thats important girl where did it go (reading this after remembering and it's kinda funny... i will make any sacrifice to kill myself (and keep you safe)... she goes HARD)
Little paulie and mozu and kiwi.... omg hello (the SBS says the twins wanted to be shipwrights too omg)
Franky's backstory is small but it does so much for me like it is so central to the themes... boats and people...
DID SOMEBODY ORDER MORE TRAGIC BROTHERS?
The fact that franky needs to learn this lesson to pass it on to robin.... do you understand how big this is.... also Tom does exactly as he says and takes responsibility for franky and what he has done... because he has done nothing wrong AND THAT'S HIS SON and he just punched spandam bc he wanta him to feel the pain franky feels... Tom is such a man..... proud of having built eater 7 up with the sea train.... goes out with a boom.... should we all kill ourselves....
I am crying again................... franky my god.... and the fucking frog!!! And of course franky can't stop Tom's hope for his island... of course he can't.... he hasnt learnt the lesson yet but this guy isn't over yet!! He has a life of being a pervert cyborg ahead!!! Iceburg following Tom's footsteps but franky not being able to do that bc of his guilt....
This is one of the coolest things chopper has done btw...
NAMII ššš
Robin damning the world for her crew when all she has ever done is damn her companions for her own sake.... how big is this...
I can't take this...... it's always nami in these positions... it happens AGAIN in Zou with Sanji... there is no way
The love letter gag is too good like damn that's so funny
AND IT'S NAMI GOING THROUGH IT AGAIN!!!! SHE LOVES ROBIN SO MUCH!!!!
#OOOH GRANDPA TEASE!!! he wanted to see luffy too?? omg and he owes garp a favor so he is going to kill him... alright then....#robin attacking FIRST and ZORO coming to her defense!!! CHEFS KISS!!! INCREDIBLE#my GOD!!! ROBIN WANTING TO LEAVE HER PAST BEHIND BC SHE TRULY HAS BEEN CHANGED BY THEM AAAAHHHH#this is so good... aokiji had to end crocodile and he still has a debt to someone (garp?) AND smoker told him stuff about luffy too#kokoro is such an mvp... be careful with the government agents she says.... hell yeah they should do that#the people in water 7 just giving advice to the pirates akdhaksjak sure go fix your boat but down there#robin laughing like ufufufu is so cute... also kalifa knowing everything bc she is literally a gov agent š ICEBURG WAKE UP!!!#lucci pulling out the ship of theseus response akdhakaj conundrum solved everyone!!!#usopp is so heartbreaking already... beaten he goes to franky to get his money back knowing he will lose bc he wants to fix the merry... go#zoro cutting steel like its nothing... yeahhhhh also does luffy think the ship and usopp are like sanji and the baratie??#he wants to sacrifice himself for it but doesn't realize his life is the treasure and not the thing... luffy realizing this is not worth it#the fight was insane.... usopp feels useless and is enmeshed with the merry so he won't let it go and tells luffy does not care when he doe#so luffy gets mad at usopp for lying and not understanding what is going on and says he is not a carpenter (true but hurts) so he is nothin#god it is so bad... sanji breaking p the fight is so important AFTER zoro says to calm down and talk but they rile each other up...#THE DIALOGUE IS INSANE!!!! USOPP IN DENIAL AND LUFFY TAKES ALL OF HIS BAIT IT'S JUST SO AJDBAKSNSKN AND THE ONLY LIES ARE WHAT USOPP THINKS#ABOUT LUFFY!!!! BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO UNDERSTAND!! HE JUST FEELS!! HE SAW MERRY!! THE ONLY ONE!!!#luffy just laying on the hammock for hours... telling nami usopp wouldnt give up his life for an argument... then he only needs to fight...#is luffy fighting usopp just so he can de stress kind of??? like he is letting him get his punches in and then he will come back#once he thinks things through... like nami did... and what sanji ends up doing too... like just give him what he wants#luffy likes fighting friends even and this is the only fight he doesn't want.... the merry crying GOD!!!!#the impact dial... it hurts them both.... jesus.... luffy got two hits in but those were enough.... they are making nami cry SANJI KILL THE#everyone is crying but sanji and zoro akdjsks yeah luffy got him what he wanted... he can keep the ship but he can't beat him#and after all if strength is made by conviction luffy knows he is right and usopp is just in denial... so of course he would lose#franky reveal and Robin assassin reveal at the same time.... just remembered when usopp asked her specialty and robin said assassinations š#luffy nami adventures hell yeah.... and theres even more after the aqua laguna... LETSGOOOOO#goddamn you can see the thread of kuzan finding robin with the strawhats to then cp9 forcing her to act in water seven....#franky acting weird because he is worried about iceburg... i know it...#iceburg: its weird youre working for the government... but thats for the audience to worry about. not for me#pluton was built on water seven āļøāļøāļø also iceburg saying weapons are bad no matter who holds them... yeah franky would agree#reading one piece

Labeling this one mature cause itās artistic nudity, which isnāt something I usually draw but yippie! Scar and anatomy reference! :3
I have explanations of where most of these scars come from, so Iāll go through them :)
The massive one covering his whole upper back is the one Dracula gave him and the one that bares the curse. I tried to make it kinda gnarly looking, but still distinctly claw marks. Thereās a couple other scratches near it from other creatures.
The ones on his arms come from a couple things. I imagine he uses his arm bracers a lot to block things and sometimes hits are still enough to leave a mark under them. The scars also come from an effect of the curse: rotting. Rot usually starts at extremities and would leave some nastiness there, probably exacerbated by moving a lot. The first three images have the legs not visible but I usually put something similar there too.
Speaking of, the very large ones on his lower legs in the fourth image are burn scars from the scene of X68000 and Chronicles where the rooms before Dracula set on fire! I guess some of it might also be from walking in the cursed swamp too.
Most of the random smaller ones are just generally from fighting monsters. Tbh Iād be more surprised if he didnāt have any scars from having axes and bones and fire and fleamen thrown at him all the time lol.
In the third image thereās a couple bite marks and yeah those are from Drac too. Iāve seen some folklore about vampires being able to drain people long distance or while not being entirely corporal and yeah that sounds like something heād do through the curse just to make Simonās life worse. Idk, I have the novel Dracula and I should be reading it for other ideas for stuff tbh. This one might change entirely eh who knows. Either way, I think the curseās ultimate goal was to make him suffer and then turn him after he dies from it so I wanted to add some more implications that heād become a vampire if he failed to break the curse.
Thereās some other things of note that arenāt scars. I try to make him look a little frailer and thinner in Simonās Quest cause well yeah the curse. I donāt think itās noticeable here since the fourth image isnāt the Simonās Quest design and he doesnāt look much wider whoops. Iāll have to try to keep how ripped he is more consistent in later drawings š. Uhh I also try to make his eyes look significantly more tired, way larger eye creases and a bit of dark. If this was a colored drawing thereād be a little red under his eyes and heād be paler than the last image. Just details to make him look sick ig.
Yeah, these are mostly doodles just for me to look back at and make sure Iām drawing him consistently d(^^ ).

alright, but one of blamore's hobbies is sculpture-making and so he HAS made numerous smaller ones over the years, but the one he's making right now is this statue of artemis (whom is the greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, and wild animals which is EXACTLY why it chose to make a sculpture representing her) is something it aims to be a little bit shorter than himself ā so i guess you could say it is sort of a big project?Āæ yeah LMAO and if blamore isn't gardening, then it'll usually be working on it.
now, so far, he's only got the bust done all the way to the shoulders as of now + it's mixed media so it's made mostly of wood, BUT it's also got some other elements like wire and some random things that you might not normally think of mixing into a sculpture in it. though man's doesn't just show anyone his progress on it because he usually wants thing's to be 'done' before he does... and that is to say that, if it does happen to show this sculpture to you, then you are officially one of its friends (':
#IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING BUT IT FELT LIKE THE WORLD: musings.#ahh... idk why but this morning i could just picture him making a wood sculpture so vividly in my mind and from there my mind just went-#'oh... wait. wait a minute. what if he wasn't just making ANY kind of sculpture but one of the greek goddess of nature herself?' š#and i of course was like HELL YEAHHH in response to that so this is how this idea had come to be lolll but yeah.#i have to say that although blamore may not be the world's greatest sculptor (of course) that he has done a rather good job on it in my-#humble opinion judging by how i've imagined it in my head bc there has been a LOT of detail that has gone into this imaginary statue y'all-#NGL haha buttt although i do not approve of everything that blamore does (actually that's probably MOST of what he does š)#i think that it is very cool whenever people are passionate enough about their craft to work for MONTHS on something and blamore has been-#working on this sculpture for months himself so he is. Kind of funky fresh in this way??? yeah i'd say so though ofc i DO NOT endorse his-#atrocities JSJSJ i just like that he's putting his all into something that isn't bad for once y'know? so yessss

Just took a nap oops but honestly, I donāt even feel safe venting on here since I have a feeling people will just screenshot my posts and pick it apart to slander me even more ;;
Which then just causes me to get even more stressed and physically sickā¦
I think I need a break from the internet as a whole, honestly. Things are not healthy and I rather spend my time doing something productive than get anxious over people getting mad at me. But thatās easier said than done. People saying Iām āweirdā for using labels like Bara, Twink, etc. genuinely hurts.
Being depicted as this fetishistic, p*rn addicted person is crazy especially knowing Iām a gay asexual and am repulsed by NSFW. Hell, even me saying all this is making me scared since I genuinely do not feel safe at all and itās awful š
#ź° vās rambling ź±#ā¢ about: personal/miscellaneous#I donāt even know if I can recover from this#like mentally#Iāve already been traumatized enough by a large creator dogging on me but thisā¦#Yeah I canāt handle this#Kinda just wanna disappear off the face of the internet lol#Probably would do me some good anyway to be fair#I have Twitter deleted which is a good step but I have a sneaking suspicion I might have to delete this app too š#Or not. No one really uses this platform anyway#But Iāll stop rambling in tags now. I think Iām just gonna take a walk outside and breathe

I will stop thinking about it I promise, but yeah I assumed Surgery Altar dude depicted Willem (over all the evidence of Byrgenwerth and Healing Church initially not being so split and communicating even, the idea of that Altar depicting surgery on OoK rather than Blood Ministration and Research Hall being focused on eyes and not blood). But it does have a hat that looks like Choir's blindfold but taller, Church shawl and surgeon gloves..
I am just having second thoughts, but also what frustrates me about that depiction is how much it lacks the details? I want to just copy it for Laurence, but if I don't torture myself with different chains and ribbons and laces and accessories and extra layers I will explode š¤ The best solution would be to say that Altar robe is his doctor suit; you don't wanna wear something too heavy on accessories when you are doing medical procedures! But appearing in the public, on the other hand, is a good excuse for dressing up pretty!
(Kat discovers the concept of having more than one outfit in your wardrobe lol ššš)
#me: *complains that the likely candidate of Laurence's outfit in canon isnt detailed enough*#my artist friends in perpetual burn out from how detailed bb clothes are: shut up please shut up#vdhjgjhgkjj#creativity notes#bloodborne#I become a bit too obsessed with dressing laurence up lol#I mean I did want to design clothes as a kid before I found out I am mentally incapable of-#-comprehending the fashion taste and style#but yeah Gehrman moment lol#Laurence is such a good model <3#(I say as mine looks like just a soft sad man you want to squish and pick up like a cat)#'he poisoned our water supply burnt our crops and brought plague in our houses'#'is that true?!'#'well yes but he is so cute lol'#ššš

ok I genuinely think @is-the-owl-video-cute has gone off the deep end. what makes you act like that on the internet for real. I donāt even have a real stock in this bullshit drama but they are just the most reactionary asshole to people? how can yāall look up to them they are genuinely so immature and pissy. theyāve been throwing a fit over users they personally dislike and using absolutely no proof at all to say they doxxed ppl. thereās like zero proof other than they donāt like them LMAO. can yāall log the fuck off please?? before someone actually gets hurt??
#is-the-owl-video-cute#yeah Iām tagging actually I hope ppl searching for drama see this and get a reality check#I saw that archived link what the actual fucking shit in hell were they thinking typing that?#they arent fucking animal murderers. they don't like the way scout handles their media presence or their farm#but that doesnāt mean they doxxed them and there is zero evidence to suggest as much. theyāve said they didnāt so like. nothing to go on.š#(frankly also. scout and owlvid should be able to handle criticism and disagreements like normal fucking people#instead of flying off the handle literally every single time. like itās a pattern)#I think both of them should just log off until they learn to handle this shit in a normal way#and without encouraging their impressionable followers to go on witch-hunts after ppl.#especially bc they donāt like it when it happens to them?? yet they say NOTHING when their followers start harassing ppl?? telling lol#I canāt stand it. yāall arenāt educators and you will never be the end all be all of every opinion you have. stop assuming such.#owlvid has had wildly inaccurate āfactsā about rabbits before but acting like they KNOW this shit is infuriating.#I guess I shouldnāt be surprised that every āis the x animal cuteā blog has gone to shit and up a creek though#just particularly disappointed in owlvid and scout for the way theyāve handled this#while KNOWING the amount of followers that would swallow their boots all the way their their head if they could#like. cmon. you can say you donāt know enough abt this subject to comment. itās ok.#and I think scout should be able to handle and address criticisms abt their cows without losing it every single time like#Iāve never met a good farmer that canāt handle criticism for their animals. itās part of the job you wonāt please everyone#and if you are planning on being an educator you have to be able to handle those criticisms with a level head and understanding.#thatās not what owlvid OR scout do. they are influencers on a power trip.#if you want respect you have to give it. not one of the dreaded rabbit people have been disrespectful about their criticism.#it is not so the other way around and thatās telling as hell#the only time Iāve seen these apparently evil sadistic rabbit bloggers make sardonic or disrespectful (I guess?) comments is on their own#and when theyāre frustrated about being labeled like they kick puppies for fun for being a fucking normal ass farmer lol#youād think maybe scout would be able to get that. maybe not so much owlvid bc they donāt seem to understand rural animal care#for the record Iām not looking at any of these blogs involved with scrutinizing detail bc I have better things to do#but I have kept an eye on the situation w scout and animal control being called and how it got twisted into ādoxxing and swattingā#by high strung ppl who should not have been online#I value my blood pressure too much the urge to just turn off my phone overcomes any desire to look through the drama

ik hny is abt satoko and her (lack of) autonomy but damn isnt it depressing to see her constantly being pressured to do something she doesnt really want to do over and over and the way she just kind of follows peoples plans like the whole time its her family then shinpei then kotaro then mitsueda and then asagiri and now asagiri wants to take something from her that to satoko losing it is worse than death and its like man. and the worst thing is that shes doing all this complying to peoples plans just so she can go back home and follow somebody elses. tachibana give her a break im begging you
#claude txt#not to bring this back to romance and shit but like yk what. maybe it is important satoko realises her feelings#on her own.#even if there is pressure. from like asagiri. for it.#she goes yk what im doing this on my own terms im writing a letter#and she realises her feelings on her own#that she chooses to keep it to herself until it is time#because yeah kotaro is lile shes naive and stuff and she is or whatever#but the facr rhat she chooses for herself despite yk kotaro.#all this to say yk that song by mitski that is like my love is mine all mine#yeah. satoko.#good god thats the only thing she chooses and fully owns herself#yk what tachibana take all her pain and give it to shinpei or something please#shinpei whump i crave it#lord shinpei rlly is the only thing she ever really chooses for her own self huh that she will#ignore tamakis advice she will ignore asagiri she will ignore kotaro and she will do this herself#its 2am i have to wake uo at 6am tmr for work pray for me#in 9 when satoko is like damn shinpei doesnt know shit abt love but i onow even less! girl i think u know more than him š im sorry girl#man. shinpei would ask her constantly if she still likes him and shit and she will dodge that shit like crazy#because shinpei doesnt rllt careā¦all he needs is the Bare Bare Bare Minimumā¦#so satokos just free to dodge all the love questions w/o consequence and figure it out herself#tachibana. please. take all her pain and give it to mitsueda or something.#please. Please.#not enough shinpei suffering in hny i think (ik hes so messed up alr)#do it for me. i want him suffering.#please just let satoko be happy for once w/o strings attached

wuwa rambles incoming, on the negative side ish (?)
so i also ended up downloading wuwa to test it out despite being fairly confident in the assessment that it Will not be a long term thing for me (and yeah stand behind that one after day 1 and some today) and like
firstly yes the state of the game is in shambles lmao like it really wasnt finished in time for release in terms of performance and polish At All. on my side luckily the overall experience has been more or less okay on medium graphics with some glitches and a total of two crashes but its still like. this isnt an optimized game at all. ppl rly have been taking genshin being incredibly cautious with new systems and additions (so that the game actually Functions) for granted i suppose š and or consistently taken the most uncharitable angle towards it . like yes we shouldve had xyz since forever but i 100% believe theres actual spaghetti code behind things taking long and that hoyo genuinely wants to be very careful w it for good reason. but yeah artifact presets where still
secondly as much as the world is like, pretty and vast with many sceneries that make for a beautiful vignette to Look at and all kinds of trinkets to run towards and engage w for that quick dopamine release, i think the fact that the story and lore of the world is just so fucking inconsequential and terribly communicated makes it just. Incredibly hard to Feel anything for it. its like a cake with stunning decorations except u take a bite and realize its all just fondant and no actual flavor. its just there. i dont have any thoughts nor feelings for it bc the worldbuilding is such a failure that i care neither for this place nor the characters whose stories are supposed to be selling me on the entire game. and that really sucks bc this place really Does look stunning in places and i Wish they would give me something to care about but its just the backdrop for the (admittedly fun) pokemon echo farm and ur exploration progress and the combat system
character-wise i also just dont mesh with vast majority of them much. they dont stand out enough from one another and no one except for like scar has actually made me very intrigued about anything at all regarding the world. designs vary from ugh to fine with some that i do like but they still arent like . the kind of Instant recognizable design that just Hits. they look fine but they lack the (jenshin) impact that makes you want to forfeit ur mortal possessions to them
now there is One (1) exception to this to be fair and thats sanhua but thats Literally just bc she is so fucking gender envy to me design wise. like its almost perfect just like that. literally if only her top wasnt open in the back . Id wear that shit SO hard for My scifi fantasy waves that wuther self insert oh my god. she looks like a middle school OC id make JSJSKSKDKUSKDK i love herrr literally the only reason i continue playing tbh . And she has ice powers too she is literally made For Me š
(jen forbidden lore tldr a niche finnish Banger of a fantasy book series that rewired my brain at 10 had an Excellently written girl protag who among other things gained op draconic ice powers of eternal winter and since then that simply became My main character daydream self elemental power of choice Always hsjsjsjskvkd)
the combat i think is where wuwa stands out and it definitely lets u engage more with the enemies. like ultimate evasion and counters Feel satisfying and building up ur characters unique mechanic like sanhuas ice constructs for her powered up charge atk Feels satisfying i def think theres a lot of potential there but in terms of A Future Meta in a gacha that wants money idk where things would ultimarely go in the future. but ya that stuff is solid.
enemy designs are also cool but suffer from that same lack of context to make me intrigued w the world theyre a part of. like cool eldritch creature ig but it doesnt give heebie jeebies the same way as seeing like. the husks in the chasm for the first time. where u instantly go oh fuck How. Why. Who were they. bc u know there Will be a relevant answer . etc . which is a shame. make me fear for my life smh
anyway for me my pulls have been like ridiculously bad i am genuinely not joking that getting sanhua on my first starter banner multi is the only reason i stuck w it. like. prior to this morning and getting aalto from the 20 free pulls . i have not received a Single non f2p new 4*. i have chixia c3 who i do Not like. yangyang c2. baizhi c1. Literally i kid you not the other new 4* i pulled today was . Yuanwu. so like considering the event and log in thats also c1 yuanwu c1 sanhua (latter of which i obvi have no issue w). and then my starter 5* was the worst case scenario š Walmart gaming i mean. if u think hes cute cool but i am not at All enthused. id have taken Anyone over him lmao
so thats fun . i mean its fine im not gonna play long term i like sanhua and playing her w baizhi and someone like yangyang or aalto its fine for what i intend to do w it for now. & none of the future 5* rly appeal to me either
ultimately the game definitely has potential but it just. released too soon in a shoddy state and in many ways (mostly relating to its open world) i think is too reliant on just resembling genshin without actually innovating on top of that foundation or distinguishing itself from it. and the failure of its story to make players care about its world At All doesnt help. Do i think the world and lore are shit w 0 potential? well obviously no bc its so poorly communicated i cant even fucking tell you what it is About. but any possible potential there was definitely not utilized how it should so eh
now personally i have absolutely no horse in this toxic drama clownfest of a gacha game war arms race other than its not worth the time nor effort. so i truly have no particular feelings of fervent support nor some schadenfreude about kuro and for competitions sake i Do hope they manage to salvage the situation and that wuwa manages to flourish in the end but ironically enough the genshin "killer" number two more or less seems to have went the way of the other one aka ToF. so thats something i suppose lmao
Like there is something very painfully ironic about it all and it is hysterical in that sense. at least that much i can admit hsiajsks. But truly if some ppl find that wuwa offers them sth better than genshin then good for em, dont let my highly lukewarm reception ruin ur enjoyment. just end the fucking drama farm and disingenuous claims to gas up ur own cope and hype
(and to be clear. i would Not have played like 8 hours yesterday if i wasnt genuinely engaged w trying the game out and having fun lol. its just very clear to me that this early rush of ADHD dopamine oh new game new things to burn through new exploration shinies short term quick fun is very likely all wuwa is going to have on offer for me personally)
anyway thats just me so feel free to share yalls thoughts too if ud like
#also like. i am aware that kuro was p much forced to launch too soon#due to the license for releasing the game into chinese markets expiring this year#which does lend context for why they launched wuwa so fast that even cbt 2 testers felt like it wasnt quite ready yet#but anyway i think for me its like#what it does better slash good different from genshin isnt enough to make up for the meh things#that are ultimately just things i could also get from genshin but better#so it wont be anything i see worth sticking long term to at least consistently#like. in genshin So much of what attracts me to it are things that wuwa Failed at#genshin isnt perfect story and traveler is very. character of all times. but this world hooked me in from ground 0#and KEPT me engaged by remaining consistent by having an easily comprehensible base world#and Beautifully layering the complex lore in a way that just intertwines with the simpler surface so naturally#the environments are Distinct design choices are made with Intent and hold implications that are thought out#a book added in 1.0 will be written intentionally relevant for lore revealed 4 years down the line#and like. atmosphere in genshin. with the music. it almost feels bad for wuwa on tbat front they never had a chance š#but yeah this has truly been a launch of all times#rambles#wuwa#and i suppose also#gaming tag
