I do not genshin it up anymore, but if I did not try and drag CR/Xianyun home I would not be fishareglorious.

My good friend @/echollama reached out to me to pull on my account (downloading the beast of a game that is genshin is. an impossibility at this point for my 60 gb phone) and with bated breath i waited for the dreaded 50/50 after... i forgot who was the last person i pulled for actually

anyhow.

blease come home grandma

birb mom came home. first 10 pull.

holy shit

Ayato story quest done.

tbh, it's quite bad, even on the second pass. In Ei's quests, her character writing is actually fine, it's just that the full context of the storyline until then (in chapter 1) and the forced lore (in chapter 2) drag it down as a whole. But Ayato's quest...

It is not about Ayato, to start with. The storyline doesn't have any room for anything meaningfully connected to Ayato himself. As a pretense, they have to shove in him monologuing about his backstory in the second to last scene. The only things it really conveys about him are that he's busy and he's very cool, for sure. Put another way, he's proto-Alhaitham: he doesn't want to "waste" energy on "trivial" things, but at the same time he thinks he knows better than everyone else, so he has to meddle and take control of every situation, while everyone else bends over backwards to shill him. It's not a good look.

At the same time, Ayato's presence makes the story unable to give proper weight to the NPCs either. Kamaji is just a dumbass in love here, the villain has to immediately lose his spine and roll over to show how cool Ayaot is, while Chisato.... ouch. This chapter repeatedly states how marriage means a woman loses her freedom and becomes entirely dependent on her husband, and then it also has Ayato and Kamaji make an entire plan to back Chisato's clan into a corner without ever consulting Chisato about it.

Yup, those sure are statements about marriage!

(And this is all while Ayato says he's so concerned about protecting his family (Ayaka), so what happens when she marries? Oh, I think the answer is that she marries internally? Because Chisato has a line about how the retainer in love with her said he can't stand to see her "live the rest of her life depending on someone else" and I guess the implication is that it's fine if she marries someone of lower standing and remains with her clan (like him)? Or else what, she just never marries...?)

Hilariously awkward and dumb chapter all around, honestly. It's very funny, in a way, to see the writers struggle to write around the need to make Ayato the coolest while creating a tense political situation, and to throw scraps to Chisato while also not addressing what you can read as either their own or Inazuma's latent sexism.

Thankfully, Ayato appears in Genshin's story extremely rarely, so there's less chances for him to annoy me. I'm just going to pretend this never happened.

Venti (Barbados) in Tudor (ish) fashion

Venti is a fun character. Monstadt is a huge mish-mash of a whole bunch of things but it is modeled after a German city so I was looking at the portraits of some German gents for this redesign. When it comes to Venti's game design it is somewhere in between tudor pantaloons and lederhosen...kind of. This time I went with Tudor fashion as my start point because of the added cape and hat bonuses. The color palette is way off of historical though. Mis-matched sleeves on a shirt/jacket? I don't think so.

Uuuugggggghhhhhh lost 50/50 to Mona which sucks cause I already have Kokomi but since I got her early and saved up a lot for Xiao my pity is back up to 59 but I have so much work this week I have no idea if I’ll be able to grind enough to get Xiao this run :( but hey Kazuha is next run after Itto (I think) so I can look forward to that at least

#the 50/50 is so evil #and why Mona of all characters #at least my friend got Jean neither of us have ANY Anemo characters #but on the bright side I got Xinyan Yanfei and Kujou Sara #oh and c3 Noelle (and Barbara but I don’t use her) #i don’t really use bow characters though #i have every Pyro four star EXCEPT THOMA PLEASE HES MY FAVORITE COME HOME #genshin #genshin impact #playing genshin

Mademoiselle Crabaletta is at the top of the meta for Dangerous Haul (sabotaging a Slime Balloon), well above Sesshou Sakura. In case anyone cared.

The evil is defeated. After a year, I have achieved vengeance against the Wenut.

As always, elemental reactions are too complicated for me, so I ended up using mono geo on one side and mono pyro on the other. Bless Yoimiya, obvs Bennett+Xiangling did a lot, but Yoimiya also carried.

Anyway, 4.5 Abyss looks ultra disgusting, so I'm gonna go back to 6 starring floor 12.

Keqing

I guess there is no need for me to beat around the bush, I'm not much of a Keqing fan, and her design in particular confuses me. So I knew I wanted to redesign her, the question was... into what? In my search I came across a photo that particularly inspired me (if you watch the process video you'll see it). In this photo of a young woman recreating a Tang (? I'm pretty sure it was Tang based on the waistline, thing sleeves, striped under skirt and huadian...but now of course I can't find the image again to double check... curses) dynasty fashion her hair in particular stood out to me right away. It was up in two pointed buns but also had loops of hair hanging from the points. Then of course her outfit had layers of fabric that reminded me of certain aspects of Keqing's design. I was sold. And have done my best to recreate it in Keqing's color palette and referencing her designs patterns/decorations.
