Honkai's retconning of Self-Sacrifice
Can we talk about something that's been bothering me?
It's the complete retcon of Mei's character - and by proxy Kiana's - and the overturning of nearly all the buildup to this current arc.
When Kiamei find out that they can beat the Honkai by taking the power of Finality, but that it comes at the cost of one of them becoming the HoFi, why are they completely okay with that? There isn't a single protest from Mei when Kiana - unprompted, by the way - says that she's okay with it, and that she has resigned herself to her fate as the HoFi. And that's so disappointing.
The entire plot up to this point, if you think about it, really hinges on one thing. Himeko's sacrifice. Or, at the very least, everything from Diane's Sojourn (Ch. XI-1) to Thunders over Nagazora (Ch. XVII). That's a good solid chunk of the plot.
Kiana only goes to Arc City because of her guilt. Fu Hua had to stop her from putting a bullet through her skull because of that guilt, and even though Himeko's sacrifice is the catalyst for Kiana's eventual character growth and development (that was completely destroyed by the recent story), it has never been a good thing!
Mei only joins World Serpent because ultimately, she fails to show Kiana that there are other people who care about her and want the best for her. She only goes down this path of self-hatred and darkness and destruction because she couldn't save both the world and Kiana, and she chose Kiana over the world in the end.
"Kiana, you're always like this. Even when you're battered, you still force a smile. You saved me. You saved us all. Yet you shoulder everything alone, at the cost of your life."
Remember this line? Mei was so against Kiana's "mission" of self-sacrifice and attempt to atone for Himeko's death with her own life that she beat Kiana until she had to resort to her Herrscher form. She was absolutely serious about stopping her! You know, Ms.
"You're the most important person in my life. If rescuing you is a sin, I'll gladly become a sinner."
But I suppose that's been retconned now that Mei is "completely like Elysia." Which brings me to another topic. Mei's character building after meeting Elysia.
I'm not saying the destruction of the ER was a bad move - it was a completely fine plot point. But why, when Mei is said to care about Elysia so much, is she okay with how Elysia died? Why is she so positive about her experience in the ER and EE when she watched thirteen of her friends, who meant literally everything to her when she was there, die painfully and almost for nothing in front of her? She was absolutely devastated when Pardo died in her arms, and yet she's completely okay with it now?
The whole point of the ER and EE stories, to me, was that cold logic and keeping to oneself is what made the PE fail. The ER was never meant to be a hall for achievements and happiness. It was a place where the successors could learn where their predecessors failed! It was literally a collection of souls who were so fragmented in life and so cut off from each other that even though they were the "13 Flamechasers", they couldn't work together to muster a single attack against Finality. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE ROLE MODELS.
And Elysia's story was never about "being happy all the time", it was about how she was so loving and determined that she literally changed fate. She wasn't a perfect being from the get go. And neither should Mei be, now.
Finally, Even Kiana's willingness to be self-sacrificial and turn into the HoFi is absolutely insane to me. She punched a hole in space and time to get Fu Hua back.
"Why is it always like this? Trading sacrifices for so-called victories. It's unacceptable. Give Fu Hua back to me!"
So in the end, this meant nothing, too? All the lessons the girls learned about relying on each other and not sacrificing one for the other, and Kiamei's entire arc from Thunders over Nagazora to them reuniting on the Moon Base? And for what?
The Power of Friendship? Ely/Mei parallels? Kiana HoFi? It's just all so badly done that it's almost laughable.
(big thanks goes to my babu @rainmarginals for ranting with me,,)

When I said that the trio's new battlesuits looked unsuited for their purpose, I meant it. They look less like three powerful beings, and more like a squad of soldiers, even more than in their original St. Freya suits where that's literally what they are. They just don't seem special, or, 'ultimate', I guess. Maybe they aren't meant to be? But seeing as honkai is ending, (and the HoE was always always the final, ultimate threat) I can't see any other purpose behind them.
And, for that purpose, they look great! In particular, I love Kiana's idle animation, where she lies down on one wing and pets the other, AND how she does a little yawn in her ult. If these were designs for an AU where they were a team of valkyries, I would adore it!
(But it's not, and they look, at best, like a horizontal progression from HoR (HoTr), and at worst, extremely mundane party-clothes (HoFi). None of them feel special or crafted like the older Herrscher suits, pretty as they are)

Today on "brainstorming here cuz my irl friends don't play honkai":
Earlier I noticed that finality's wings (?) tend to extend and retract in and out of Kiana and that kinda got me thinking about what if every aspect of the design functioned kinda like that? I'm thinking something like Aerial in Witch from Mercury where she has some independent drones that come out of her body and combine to take on different shapes and weapons (episode 2 fight scene for non-spoilery example)
Tumblr media
messy thumbnail cuz I'm still working this out in my head, but I'm thinking maybe the default state would be a large set of wings that separate to form whatever weapons Kiana wants (and each time the drones separate, the wings get smaller). As much as I like finality's current attack sequence, I think I'd want this version to have a rotation that's something like "pistol> drones + fists> sword > greatsword> drones shooting from above> back to pistols" to sorta elude to Bronya, Fu Hua, Mei, Himeko, and Theresa's weapons. I also think it'd be fun if we got Bronya giving Kiana the drones in the same way we got Mei giving her the sword.
Going forward with the general aesthetic, I'm thinking maybe doing something that has more of honkai's classic mech aesthetic, but with the imaginary tree roots and flowers sorta breaking through it? Also still debating how much honkai corruption I want on her skin :/
I don't have a good conclusion to this ramble. Have a nice day

So the spending event is coming to an end and I wanted to share a bit of my lucky and unlucky moments, as well as how much were my savings worth.
Herrscher of Origin
Tumblr media
I was incredibly lucky with her gears and got everything within 46 pulls with no doubles. Am incredibly happy with her and love her lots <3
EXPA Select
Tumblr media
After I suffered the last time going all the way to the pity for her weapon AND DIDN'T EVEN GET IT, I just needed her fists and M, and Sushang turned around to me and gave me both back to back, and even gave one HoHE stig as a bonus. It wasn't the stig I'm missing, but now I just need any one of her stigs whenever she reruns.
Herrscher of Finality
Tumblr media
Oh boy did I want her. I mean JUST LOOK AT HER. No actually don't look, y'all don't deserve her, I'm taking her all for myself.
And boy was she nice to me. Coming home in 30 pulls with 0 pity built prior. The best luck I've ever had with a character. Well, at least on main. I was planning to spend the rest of my pulls on her gears, and I didn't expect to get 4/4 but... I did not expect to get bullied so hard!
Tumblr media
I mean 3/4 is all I've ever wanted, and I never got anything off rate... That being said, I got 5 COPIES OF HER WEAPON. F I V E. 5. Back to back, with nothing else in-between. I had to go to 8 pity for her T, just like back in the day with Sushang's gear. Except I didn't get any weapon on Sushang's. Arguably worse. So I guess.. That's still rather lucky?
Spending event
Tumblr media
Finally got my HoF and the skin for her!! And I don't want to hear anything, I love this skin granted I just got it for free as a bonus to her. She deserves the world. (But only on Fridays.)
I spent the rest of my orbs on getting frags for Bella.
Tumblr media
I love her dearly, but she hasn't been in supply since forever so spending events are likely my only chance.
I needed a few more pulls to get the last 45 orbs, but I had no chance to guarantee me anything, and I didn't want to waste pulls, so I thought, "hey why not pull for an elf?"
For a context, this was the first time ever I pulled for an elf. I didn't even know how the box looked like. I needed about 8 pulls. I did 5. And...
Tumblr media
HUH??
To say I was speechless would be an understatement. I didn't even scream, I was so shocked. I was in a daze for a few minutes trying to process what just happened to me.
This heavily outweigh all the unlucky moments I had, making this spending event extremely lucky for my main.
As for my alt...
*sigh*
My alt outweigh all the luck I had on main, making it the most unlucky account in the entire global space.
I saved quite a bit of crystals for an f2p account, my hopes were so high! Pull Bronya N-EX TB, then pull for Sushang MB, then also pull any one Zhenyi, if I had anything left by then pull HoTr! And then at least one Senti's stig from Firepower. Of course I recognized that I had to be super lucky to get all of that, and was quite realistic with what I can actually get. But then...
Tumblr media
...This happened.
I drained all my savings for one stig.
I tried to get T the next rotation of EXPA with nothing, and Zhenyi also didn't drop in 10 pulls.
I decided to sacrifice one of Zhenyi I had to make T just so it wouldn't drop from Firepower.
I limited possible drops from it to SSwords TM and Bronya N-EX TM, and out of them there was only one stig I didn't need! Everything else was going to be great for me! But you guessed it right.
Tumblr media
I mean, yeah, not the end of the world. Next time it reruns I'll just need to pull whatever. And I will be able to get both Senti's stigs from BP. But that still was the worst that could've happened with a chance of 25%.
And to add to the pain, I wasn't even able to get an elf.
Tumblr media
I will have to wait for the next spending event featuring Dudu elf. Sadly.
So, to summarize... This spending event was such a rollercoaster. Truly. I had the luckiest moments I've ever had along with the unluckiest anyone ever had. So I guess... it balanced itself out?
Now I'll be going back to the dreadful saving on both accs, but thankfully Ayaka's banner is around the corner to satisfy my gambling addiction <3
