this place is so damn pretty

also.. doesn't genshin have that big ass snake in inazuma named ouroboros?

the way oroboros was so damn huge, they'd eat planets. it hella reminded me of one of herta's memory bubbles

#i need to find that memory bubble that talked about #you (as in us) were so hungry #you wanted to eat planets #something like that #damn i'm beginning to see #why #herta #said the memory bubbles were very sensitive memories of HERS #then i remember that she is an #emanetor #of #nous #the erudition #bro #honkaistarrail #star rail #hsr #bai lu #bailu

“He was probably quite decadent in the past, perhaps abusing his power a little bit. I see him as being very intelligent — very erudite — and highly manipulative when he wants to be. Very vulnerable and traumatized, but also incredibly witty and funny. He’s got etiquette, he’s articulate, and he’s very sophisticated. He’s a lover of the arts without, I believe, having the talent to produce art himself. He’s also rather good-looking, and he’s not afraid to use that as a way to shield himself or to get what he wants. He’s immoral, not amoral. I would say he’s quite aware of morality. He just chooses not to [be moral], darling, you know?”

“His sense of freedom is the most powerful thing about him. The drive to be free — the need to be free at all costs, including things that are morally gray and sometimes completely wrong. But the overriding sense is never wanting to be trapped again in a situation like the one he’s come from for the last 200 years. Underneath all of that, if you can find a way to him, he’s also probably one of the best friends you’ll ever have.”

-Neil Newbon on how he would describe Astarion (source)

#i love how he emphasizes that Astarion is sophisticated and erudite #because you totally get that sense about him when playing the game and I love it #plus he's constantly reading a book in camp #he's the biggest nerd next to Gale and you can't convince me otherwise #astarion #baldur's gate 3

i think that characters' in game paths tell you a lot about who they are as a person which is why i go a bit stupid about dan heng IL, blade and jingliu all being destruction characters while jing yuan is erudition. it means a lot to me.

anyways the entire aventurine quest i was thinking about why he is a preservation character, when nihility would fit him so much better. especially after you hear him say that he would accept the destruction of the world as a possible outcome when betting. but then at some point in a conversation with his future self he said "you have to lie to yourself to make it believable" so. he cares deeply about people, he just lies to himself that he doesn't i guess. and he does it so convincingly he comes across as very disconnected and nihilistic.

(i dont think nihility characters are bad, i think that the Characteristic of that path is being disconnected from Something. like how Welt is from a different universe or how Guinaifen's life is mainly streaming online and that disconnects both of them from the people around them in very different ways. there's a wide variety of interpreting a path a unit is on imo.)

anyways i'm just happy my initial assessment of aventurine was somewhat accurate bc i do love characters who boast themselves loudly as liars and then keep saying the truth with the reassurance that no one will believe them. also his immediate instinct to help a lost child and the way his voice got real soft and friendly. what a preservation thing to do. lmao. softie.

#hsr spoilers #hsr #honkai star rail spoilers #honkai star rail #aventurine #many hours have gone into me thinking about why a character is a particular path #erudition is genuinely the easiest bc erudition smart #and strategic #which makes me look at argenti with different eyes tbh

Hi I’ve recently gotten back into divergent so my Eric obsession has surfaced yet again😂

I’m also new to tumblr so I’m not sure if I’m doing this request thing right, so my apologies if it’s too much

I really enjoyed your head canon on Eric and was wondering if you could do another one maybe more geared towards him as a husband and father maybe some years down the road. I could see him having learned some self control when it comes to his anger issues. Maybe becoming a girl dad becoming a big softy which would be adorable, but still maintaining his asshole reputation somehow.

If you get a chance to write this I’d really appreciate it!! Thank you

Eric proposed to you after a year of dating. You told Eric beforehand you wanted to be proposed too, Why? There's no point in me proposing to you, you are already mine, Eric said rubbing his face annoyed. YOU WILL PROPOSE TO ME!! You screamed while hitting him.

You worked as a nurse so when the symptoms of throwing up, weird cravings, mood swings, and your period being late you knew you were pregnant. For precaution, you took a test confirming your suspicion, and you ran to tell Eric being overjoyed. What is it, honey? Eric said wrapping his arms around you. I'M PREGNANT! You Shouted waiting to see his reaction only to be met with silence, Babe are you okay? Eric looked at you and immediately spun you around in his arms with your legs wrapped around his torso.

Eric was extremely protective of you. He carried you down the flight of stairs because of the no railings, or you used the elevator. He made sure you ate a lot no matter how unhealthy it was, so a lot of chocolate cake. If anyone bumped into you or harmed you in any way whether emotionally or physically he kick their ass.

He was obsessed with the baby, and after the couple found out it was a baby girl, he was ecstatic wanting to spoil the little girl. She is so gonna be a daddy's girl, Eric said rubbing your stomach. How do you know? you said. Because She's my daughter, Eric said in an obvious tone.

Truth be told she was a daddy's girl, after she was born she only wanted her daddy. He was the only one that could make her go to sleep, so... Why do I have to go, it's your turn, Eric said still in bed rubbing his eyes tiredly with the baby crying in the background. Because She's a daddy girl, you said while putting the covers over your face feeling Eric get up.

At the age of 5, your daughter was handling knives and guns but was spoiled so much by her father that she favored him over you. You told Eric it wasn't a good idea to train her yet because she was so young but he did anyway, only the basics though. For her 6 birthday, she was given a pink knife and gun engraved was princess, ironic.

your daughter screamed and panicked whenever Eric was not there. She threw tantrums over the smallest things it was getting out of control, so you stepped your foot down. You told her that you were the mother and she had to obey your rules, She was not happy and yelled at you. Eric finally saw how his little princess was getting too spoiled... Princess Stop! Eric said with a firm voice, he realized how bad our daughter treated you and was not having it. [d/n] You can't disrespect your mother like that, Eric took away her guns and knives and had her apologize to you. You knew she was a daddy's girl but she was still your daughter and you weren't going to allow her to treat you like that. You forgave her but she was still grounded for 2 weeks.

By age 12 your daughter was maturing growing so beautiful with her long hair and beautiful blue eyes like Eric's. Eric was still an asshole to people but never to his family, he often compared his daughter to the initiates. Watch how my daughter throws the knives better than you pieces of shit, glancing at his daughter. She threw it perfectly right in the middle, the initiates looked at the little girl in surprise with a proud look from both her and her father. I want everyone to run and you won't stop till I say so...GO, Eric said firmly wanting to gouge his eyes out if he saw another initiate.

By the time your daughter was 16, Eric had moved up the ranks to head leader of Dauntless. Your daughter ended up staying in Dauntless excelling in training and becoming first overall in all her rankings only having 7 fears.

Eric was not happy, his princess had a boyfriend, and he had a reputation for scaring any boys who came close to his little girl. Oh, so you think you're good enough for my princess huh, Eric walked around the boy, giving him a fright. All-l do r-respect s-ir, the boy said shitting himself, Why are you stuttering, can't you speak right boy, Eric said leaning on his side while crossing his arms showing off his muscular arms. Daddy stop you are scaring him, His princess told him but he ignored her. Princess, why don't you give the boys some time to talk, his princess obliged leaving the men to talk. Can I get... before she could finish she saw her boyfriend leaving with tears streaming down his face. Look, we are breaking up bye, he left in such a hurry. She knew her father did this and ordered 3 shots of vodka, she was going to need it.

In the end, Your daughter was able to find someone who understood her and treated her like a princess. Eric approved of the boy for his daughter, 2 years after they dated he proposed to your daughter. you and your daughter went wedding dress shopping, planning the big invite list, etc. The wedding was extravagant and beautiful and you couldn't stop crying seeing Eric walk your daughter down the aisle and [d/n] saying I Do. You recall the memories that led up to this moment, you meeting Eric, the wedding, your daughter, the choosing ceremony, her wedding it was amazing with your family right by your side.

BTW yes Eric cried at the wedding. I am telling you, sweetie I am not gonna cry... 5 minutes later, Eric wiping his tears with a napkin. Not gonna cry right, you said with your arms crossed on your chest. SHHHH, the wedding starting, and my eyes are just leaking water.

Thinking more about Ruan Mei and I am trying to grapple with the fact that on some level in a way I can’t describe, I feel super strongly connected to her and in a way either understand or even relate to her

But like, I can’t fully explain it properly

Something about even with her strong knowledge, she is still struggles to properly feel and properly express and understand certain emotions and it’s one among the many factors of why she ends up being almost like a hermit (which OOF I had joked to myself she’s just like me fr when they called her a hermit but after the quest its hitting a bit too hard)

Even in her mannerisms, I can’t help but relate and it’s also part of why I think I ended up liking her a lot. I’ve seen a lot of people consider her deeply like evil or something or like she’s very hateful and malicious when she truly never came across that way to me and I just.. can’t see that. I can see the mad scientist in her, there’s no denying that. But she comes across as extremely morally ambiguous and perhaps a bit obsessive regarding her research rather than actively cruel or mean and I firmly believe she’s intended to come across that way looking at her dialogue and the way she behaves. I just can’t see her as evil or anything, probably because there are parts of her behaviors I know well

And again a huge part of my love for her comes from how her story and character is tied to the Aeons, and I fucking adore Aeon lore, I am praying for more like PLEASSEE

Even this didn’t get out all my feelings or fully explain what I think about her but y’know maybe later I’ll find the words I need

#i want to add #every since i saw the thing about the nous like ‘genius individuals with autistic tendencies’ I have been firmly like RUAN MEEII #As someone who autistic #Ruan Mei reads as an autistic character to me #and that line about erudition from wherever it was from (the font and format are just like some of the other things) is an acknowledgment #autism in hsr and it leaves me like HMMM RUAN MEI IS #She is I feel it in my bones her relationship with her emotions is very… yes #man why do I have a thing for characters with obsessive tendencies that I read as being autistic #(ruan mei and yingxing)#my beloved ilysm get behind me #youre valid if you dislike her I dont think its incorrect to dislike her #i just dont like seeing people twist her into something she isnt to either justify disliking her or claiming its these false traits of hers #that they dislike yknow? bc thats not her thats not?? shes not out here being evil and cruel in the extremely harmful sense #i dunno i really like her #i need people to understand my faint insanity about her #ruan mei #hsr #honkai star rail

Why Ratio isn't in Genius Society - theories

Nous regarded him and decided that he's doing fine without them.

Or because he isn't a genius. When he calls himself mediocre, it isn't a humblebrag. He's just a normal human with average intelligence. He achieved everything through hard work (in one of his character stories, his old professor talks about how, even as a kid, he'd wake up very early, exercise, and spend the whole day studying).

That's why he's often frustrated with his students. Like, guys, you are provided with all these opportunities to learn, you can surpass me, why are you squandering them? Or, I sacrificed my childhood and youth to science, why isn't everyone else willing to do the same? (turns out most people only become students to finally enjoy adult life away from their parents and maybe acquire some minimal knowledge and credentials to have a chance of a cushy job in the future.)

BTW, as a teacher, isn't he a self-made emanator of erudition? Not in a mystical Aeon-related sense, but literally—he spreads knowledge.

#honkai star rail #my stuff #dr ratio #granted this isn't how it works in real life #you can't study and do research 24/7 from childhood #unless you are really predisposed to it #or most likely abusive worthless parents are involved #trying to finally 'achieve' something through their child #and it usually doesn't end well for the child #although there is no indication of something dramatic like this #in Ratio's story #he probably did it voluntarily #and again this extreme overwhelming dedication #is the reason he's in Hunt and not Erudition

Alright, fricking Bet.

(I know you're joking. 's not gonna stop me tho.)

all illusion's eyes are yellow.

Groudon has a very very faint yellow-ish glow. as well as there being small wisps coming off of him. Or towards him.

The glow effect is present the entire time the team is fighting him.

Groudon's text box is the same colour as Uxie's.

that's all I could find within the cave section

Erudite: An excellent effort. I commend your attention to detail. I may also highlight that those who have fought my illusions tend to suffer from common psychic-related injuries, rather than burns.

Erudite: For that reason I try to be flashy and scare my opponents, rather than landing blows directly. If I hit them too many times, they'll catch on to the fact that they aren't actually being attacked with stone or fire.

Erudite: And most moves landed on my hologram appear to not have any effect, on account of being an illusion...

Erudite: Barring dark-type ones, of course.
