#kinda glad Mihoyo forgot about him in the last arc so they couldn’t fuck him up

[tea-cat-arts]

Mihoyo may have forgotten Su is just as big a nerd as Bronya and Kosma, but I sure haven’t.

Really feels like missed comedic potential though. Like, maybe they could’ve had Su desperately trying to hide that he actually gets Kosma and Bronya’s references, but he keeps having to translate for them, so everyone else is slowly catching on to Su (meanwhile Kevin knows damn well about Su’s mech phase and is desperately trying not to laugh at him). Or maybe have Su be like one of those anime nerds that was really into Akira and other older anime and tries to bond with them over it, but he hasn’t seen anything that was made in like the past 15 years so all his references are incredibly outdated.

Or for other occupation related humor, he could just have extensive knowledge of poisons and dangerous chemicals that just comes up in casual conversation and concerns everyone else around him. Or give him a sorta back and forth with Vill-V on what would or wouldn’t kill a man, but in like the most casual/deadpan tone

I haven’t really thought about this point well enough to articulate it well, but you can derive comedy from someone just being enthusiastically nice. The best example I can think of this is Tanjiro from Demon Slayer

Idk, it just feels like Mihoyo just doesn’t really know what to do with Su a lot of the time

#honkai impact #honkai su #kinda glad Mihoyo forgot about him in the last arc so they couldn’t fuck him up #this is 100% just baseless speculation on my part- #I wonder if the butchering of Kevin and Su to a lesser degree is partially in response to Kevsu #like the devs realized they had way more chemistry with each other than Kevin did with Dr MEI #so they tried remove the things that made them work #but things that made them work with each other were also the things that made them interesting characters #like how they both have this unrelenting kindness to them that’s expressed in two very different ways #speaking of things that made them work- #I miss their little jabs at each other #like in that one memory file where Su jokes that he’s gonna max out Kevin’s credit card at dinner or something like that #I also really feel like Mihoyo forgot that Su is constantly flying by the seat of his pants but tries to hide that to comfort others #like he and Kevin tried so hard to put on this persona of being the reliable one #it was always sweet to see them call each other out on it and try and take care of each other #ya I personally ship them but all the things I’m saying could be applied platonically too
