incompleterulerI've been thinking about getting into HSR for a while now, but the gameplay doesn't appeal to me for a couple of reasons and I can't really play the game anyway... so I figured I could just read the story! Or, well, watch it. Yesterday I finally had some free time and dived right into it. So far I'm mostly extremely confused and I have no idea what's going on at all, but I'm having fun and I'm really excited to see what happens next! There's a few characters I already like even if I don't know much about them (Ratio, Robin, Sunday... and some others, but those three really speak to me lol), and so far I really like the cast too. Also Kafka is so pretty.
Some other stuff also caught my eyes, like the whole Aeons thing and the... sudden primum mobile mention? What was that about lol. I get it but it's also so surprising to see stuff I've studied in the games I play (or, well, read? my point stands either way). But then again that's also part of why I'm so interested in Ratio. He's a nerd down to the bathtub detail and I am also a nerd. I think it's funny how his name is literally just "Doctor Truth Reason", too.
Aside from that I've actually been playing a lot of Genshin! Well, I've played a lot these last few days at least. I've been mostly focusing on exploring when playing on my own and getting a lot of wishes, while also farming for my characters in co-op with my friend. I've been having terrible artifact luck but today I got two cool pieces so that's something at least!
I've also been thinking a lot about Ei in general lately. I mentioned this in my most recent post but I have so much to say about her, she's one of my favourite characters and I wish she was more talked about. Maybe people did talk about her when she came out, but I wasn't there to see it and I really want to put my own analysis of her out there too. Specifically as someone who's a Wanderer main I see a lot of Ei hate which... I get where it comes from, but I really cannot agree. Deep down they have a lot of similarities that I want to explore, but that'll have to wait a little.
Gaming aside, I haven't done much today. I studied for my final tomorrow and that's about it. I wanted to draw or write too, but I've been stupidly art blocked, on top of the fact that I've barely had the time to do anything when I wasn't... Still, I want to see if I can finish something before the year ends. Hopefully next time I'll have better luck.

I'd love to read your thoughts about Ei and Scara's similarities. A friend of mine loves Ei and I love Scara and we're both constantly disappointed by how the fans of one always either ignore or villify the other. I'll definitely send my friend your post if you make it, I'm sure they'd love to read it too.

Date: 2024-12-20 06:30 pm (UTC)Right, they're just constantly throwing terms at me all the time and I'm very confused but so far I think I'm keeping up at least! I'm not a fan of turn-based style combat personally, I prefer more active gameplay like Genshin's, which is one of the reasons I'm not actually playing it. I do see myself invested in the plot though, I already love the setting.
I've heard their story is devastating but I don't know why it's devastating yet, so I'm looking super forward to seeing what happened to them! They're so interesting to me in so many ways. Even just their designs are amazing.
And thank you omg that's such an honour! Hopefully I'll have it ready sometime soon, I should have the time to do it one of these days.
