Work for one event with tarot cards with characters from honkai star rail ✨
A little New Year's Sunday for you❄️
"He would rather sell his eyes than his mother's jewelry"
Watched Everything Everywhere All at Once and thought of Jing Yuan and Yanqing.
Your child(apprentice) is both too similar to you and nothing like you at all. You share a stubbornness and a refusal to follow your parents(mentors) that drives you crazy, yet they have a different sort of anger than you do. You will do anything to cling to the past and present while they want to charge into the future.
Meanwhile on Yanqing’s end, like Joy, there is the fact you just want your parent(mentor) to understand. You want to find the pieces of yourself in your parent(mentor) so they can see why. So they know why you think the way you do. You want to make them see your point of view so they will stop holding you back. You are angry, so angry, and the fact they don’t feel your anger only makes it hurt more. You want your parent(mentor) to both hold you tight and let you go, to give you guidance and let you figure things out for yourself. You want destruction and yet you also want them to heal you.
There is also the same ‘you never had the trauma I did so why are you so angry’ vibe. They refuse to listen to their child(apprentice) because what do they know? They think that the youth don’t know the same sort of suffering and anger they faced. That they don’t know the troubles of the world the same way, and they are both right and wrong. As much as their child(apprentice) will never suffer the same way they did that child(apprentice) has their own struggles and reasons to be angry and the accidental invalidation and pressure that the parent(mentor) passes on…
Sorry about the ramble but yeah
Sorry for making your fave a troublemaker whose shenanigans no one will ever believe because in canon they’re “well-behaved”. It will happen again.
Fic Im working on that I want someone to take from me because I have 3 WIPs
I just want a more talented author to take this off my hands. It’s not going well.
Emanator Sampard
Becoming an emanator is a two way street. You have to get the gaze of an Aeon and then accept the power they grant you (like how the trailblazer had to actually take the lance)
Qlipoth wants Gepard as an emanator since he’s a great protector, sacrifices himself for Belobog, etc.
Gepard does not want to become an emanator and spread Qlipoth’s will. He wants to stay in Belobog and protect it and his family
Gepard is also being terrible about this whole thing. He’s given up on being civil and is basically biting at Qlipoth’s hand
Qlipoth is frustrated but stubborn
Enter Aha, who shows up to bother Qlipoth
Offers to help (for the chaos ofc)
Qlipoth accepts
Aha sends their emanator (Sampo) to go convince Gepard
Whoops they are now thrown together due to Aeon Shenanigans
They learn about each other as Sampo tries to convince Gepard and they fall in love? Somewhere along the way?
I don't post art because I’m bad at drawing but I drew this for a fic I’m writing because it won’t leave my brain. This is just a black and white version but it’s how I envision the corset I mention. Also, the flowers are supposed to be orange lilies for Reasons.
Link:
One thing everyone gets Wrong is Sampo and Gepard drinking. I know everyone thinks Sampo drinks a bunch and is a heavyweight while Gepard doesn’t drink and can’t handle alcohol but. Think.
Gepard grew up in a noble family, and nobles will have parties with lots of alcohol a lot for no particular reason, and he’s a soldier. There is no way he doesn’t drink. Sampo, meanwhile, spends 90% of his time in the Underworld, which is constantly short on supplies let alone something like alcohol. What they do have is probably watered down or really expensive.
What I’m saying is Sampo is three shots in dancing on the table while Gepard is eight shots in and can hold decent conversation.
Sorry to all the people who don’t have the same fixations as me
ANYWAY in Honkai Star Rail Jingliu (after fighting Yanqing the first time) goes “this is my nephew” and just shows up to harass Yanqing sometimes and meanwhile he’s like “you are a wanted criminal and I will arrest you given the opportunity”. Also Jingliu will take Yanqing on “field trips” where she drags him places by threatening terrorism if he doesn’t cooperate. He hates it. She’s having so much fun teaching her ‘nephew’ things. Also she’s slightly more gentle teaching him than she was with Blade and Jing Yuan (though still violent) because she thinks she should be able to ‘spoil’ him.

i know the sane assumption is that aventurine was hallucinating but i dont know. something about a baby running around the dreamscape is funny.
Me on my way writing a Galladay story with plot since the last update was pretty disappointing and just Firefly getting special treatment (no hate for her, I just hate Hoyo playing favorites)
Signs You Should Write The Story
1. You can't stop thinking about it
2. It would be exciting and fun to write
3. It's meaningful to you
WRITE THE STORY
HOW DO I COMPLAIN TO HOYOVERSE?
It's easy, and there are MULTIPLE things you can do! I recommend doing each item on this list.
1. SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION
The petition will be delivered to the appropriate cultural reps, in order to complain to the CCP about the negative impression this is leaving on Chinese companies. Genshin Impact is highly favoured by the government for the positive press it gives the country, and putting pressure on the 'big daddy' is FAR more likely to make Hoyoverse buckle.
As of right now, the petition has nearly 38k signatures.
2. EMAIL HOYOVERSE
Email them directly at genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com to state how this has affected your desire to continue playing their games.
3. USE THE IN-GAME SURVEY OR FEEDBACK
Genshin Impact has frequent update surveys, and there is a permanent option to give feedback at any time. You can find it in the Paimon Menu.
4. REVIEW BOMB
Rate Hoyoverse's games, particularly Genshin, with one star on the app store. This has already proven in the past to have an effect, when this caused the team to review the anniversary rewards.
Here is a guide on how to do this!
5. POST IN OFFICIAL HOYOVERSE ACCOUNTS' COMMENTS
Do not be silent! Speak up about your displeasure. It's important that these comments outweigh the rest! Show that we are the MAJORITY.
6. SPEAK UP
Use the tags!
#BoycottHYV #WhyAreTheyWhiteHoyo #GenshinImpact #FixNatlan
Be relentless.
FURTHER DETAILS UNDER THE CUT!
WHAT SHOULD I NOT DO?
The following actions should NOT be taken:
DO NOT spend money on Hoyoverse games.
DO NOT sent threats, to voice actors OR customer service staff.
DO NOT engage with trolls or racists. Block and report.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
It's easy to dismiss this in the face of 'more important' issues in the world at the moment, but Genshin Impact (And by extension, Hoyoverse) is a very influential game and company. It is extremely popular, and directly influences MANY other games and players through this popularity.
This isn't an issue of 'just stop playing'- This is not anger for a game's decisions, it's anger for a precedent. It's a demand that not only should Hoyoverse care about representation, but other, smaller, companies too. If Hoyoverse can get away with it, so can others- But if Hoyoverse is held accountable for their exploitation of culture, then it sets the precedent that other companies have no chance of doing the same.
Like it or not, Hoyoverse has a lot of influence, and the CCP itself values the company for giving China a positive image in other countries. This is bigger than just being mad at character design.
EDIT: It was also pointed out to me that if POC were to simply stop engaging with hostile content, they would have nothing left. 'Just stop playing' isn't fair, plain and simple. POC deserve to play the things that they enjoy WITHOUT being ostracized.
DOES HOYOVERSE LISTEN?
They listen if there's no money lining their pockets, they listen if their reputation is damaged, and they listen if the CCP gets involved. We have direct evidence of this.
Review bombing alone caused Hoyoverse to reconsider the first anniversary rewards.
The CCP forced Hoyoverse to reskin various characters to comply with their laws, which HYV did. (This isn't necessarily a good thing, however, it is still evidence that CCP has influence over them.)
This is by far the largest outcry the company has seen so far, and MANY of HYV's voice actors have spoken out in support for the movement as well. This is not just playerbase complaints, but staff, too.
I recommend following AvenOfStrats on X/Twitter for further updates on the petition's progress, and on other ways to contribute. They also share plenty of resources on why this is important, and guides on how to complain.
Patiently hoping hoyoverse never makes Dan Heng have to go back to the shackling prison after the war dance arc. Plz these voicelines are making it impossible to keep the story going with how much it's breaking my heart 🙏🙏
Honkai star rail: the game in which we recruit guns and roses to save Qingque from a cult of goblin children <3
Did a siobhan redesign and made her even more androgynous than she already is. Queen behaviour of her really.
FUN FACT: when I first saw siobhan, i genuinely thought she was a fruity man. Then i realized she was infact just a gorgeous lady. Which is what led to this.
Helloo! I'm a huge fan of your HSR reaction fic "Starry Script of the Future". I saw that you recently put it up for adoption. Me and my friend are very interested in continuing it! Would that be okay?
Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed it <3
And yes, it is 1000% okay!! I already mentioned in the update that anyone is free to do so, but it's very thoughtful of you to ask again. I'm looking forward to see how you and your friend continue the fic. All the best!
Update:
MISHA WTF OMG MISHA ILY BUT SERIOUSLY WTF
I'm so sus of Misha and the whole Watchmaker thing right now like where was he in 2.1???? 👀
We've seen every single character (with Robin mentions) but no Misha? Why? Where is he? Where could he be?
Misha. Misha when I find you Misha-
I'm totally coming back to this post after we find out the truth.
Barbenheimer walked so that robinhill could run. I rest my case.

From what I've noticed, sparkle spoke slower than the way real sampo usually would and was rather deliberate to frame her words in a way that was close to the real sampo but not entirely.
Even though sampo is a very unserious person in most conversations, sparkle leaned in a bit too much into that which made the conversations somewhat distinct from the real sampo.
This detail is again pointed out in the companion quest where sparkle says sampo is on the more serious side of the masked fools, which is pretty interesting and might explain why sparkle impersonated sampo in the way that she did in that she wants to see sampo be more unserious.
I feel like this is reiterated by the voice acting, where fake sampo had slower and a slightly forced way of speech compared to real sampo.
All in all, the VA did amazing and I'm really interested to see how the story unfolds.
More discussion with spoilers mentioned below:
Regarding the story and whatnot. I'm gonna have to listen to the dialogue again later. Tbh I was too busy gushing over Mr. Rose's voice in general and the fact that "Sampo" was there to notice the differences between how he speaks and how Sparkle portrayed him! I was blinded by love and deceived so easily 😩
Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔
I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️🩹

Unfortunately, as I'm currently a college student, I'm not able to donate much. But for those who are able to, even something such as $5 can help so much. They are currently at $28,307, and their goal is listed. It has already been a year, and so many have died. If you aren't able to donate, please share. Thank you.
