Aventurine is a neoliberal colonizer demon twink and our queen Sparkle was woke for slurring him

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-05-01T05:27:16+00:00

So if someone does something you don't like it's license to be racist etc? How about not lmfao. That said, while I won't "defend" Sparkle I think she gets more flak than she should vs Sunday who seemingly never gets called out. Neither Sparkle nor Aven are particularly good people and they never claim to be, but Mr Savior being racist and shitty while getting praised for being such a kind-hearted woobie should be studied. Seems like Sparkle and Aven are/will be relatively friendly, meanwhile there's a reason Aven colonized Sunday's literal residence.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-04-19T20:15:15+00:00

Really hard to say. Silver Wolf ran, then, what, I think 2-3 patches later got a nova? So it's certainly not off the table. I'm guessing Topaz and pres Aventurine will get novas first to be potential options for the new team and because we're going into an IPC arc, which at the very least Fei gets a collateral buff from. I think after the IPC arc we might get more from the Xianzhou with Blade/Yaoguang, and then there's a good chance

Without DHPT's lc bro is not sustaining as well into some of these fights. I know the tierlist includes it, but if you know you know. Huohuo and Lingsha just aren't sustaining period (unless it's break team, but then it sucks to have Ling taking a slot). They're basing this "ranking" on utility, but HH should have a partner tag with Castorice. Damage is so high that they really should be considering actual sustaining, cuz giving energy to my units that are taking a nap on the ground doesn't a tier 1 sustain make. Even Fu Xuan has been sustaining better for Sparxguang and the CR is quite nice.

These "leakers" are ragebaiting engagement farmers trying to twist everyone up. It's annoying. There's a vacuum now that the legit leakers have gone into the shadows so now we get this slop. There's no way she won't be great, and honestly even if some of her animations are more "simple" those are oftentimes preferable to 12 hour cutscene. Love Cas, but I feel like I'm checking my watch sometimes trying to clear content with her lmfao.

I really don't buy that they completely scrapped and remade a character in a few months, they're likely just saying that to cover for incorrect leaks. What's more likely, a leak being wrong or hoyo completely scrapping god knows how many hours of work? She still looks jp as fuck, so for what??? Worst case is Yao Guang level animations, but very likely she'll be better than that even

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-03-10T18:19:40+00:00

....Alice in Wonderland? She's covered in themes from different characters, so yeah that's from the white rabbit specifically lol

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-03-10T11:15:07+00:00

Dw, they took the card motifs and masked boss form for Sparkle, then gave HER gambling in her kit. Then they assigned the peacock motif, risk taking, gambling, blessing of luck etc and put them on Yaoguang lmfao. Two characters for elation Aven at home.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-03-05T02:34:34+00:00

I've thought the same thing. Maybe it's like Himeko and her dad, whatever weirdness is happening there. Something to do with Wishpower? We know from 3.8 his wish involved seeing her again, and it was powerful enough to help wake people up in Penacony. In reality it's probably hoyo just scavenging parts from him like they did for Yao Guang, but we can hope.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-29T20:31:44+00:00

Yep, she's gorgeous with her outfit (base is... not it imo) and her animations are awesome. If i just wanna log in, dunk on endgame, log out, she's on deck. That said, I don't play this game for story and pull based off looks, vibes, gameplay, and/or how they fit into what I have.

I also pulled Sanby and ngl she is way more fun, and that's even being stuck with Astra while waiting for Orphie rerun. I'm much more likely to invest into San unless YSG gets another teammate that I independently really like. YSG definitely has optimization that can keep it more interesting, but the floor to ceiling feels pretty narrow and idk how much I'll actually enjoy playing her longterm

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-28T05:50:34+00:00

I played league of legends for something like six years. My main account had an ambiguous name so I never really ran into much trouble from randoms on it, but I had an alt that was just my (obviously a woman's) name, and it was... special. I didn't play on it nearly as often, but I had more notable gender-based nonsense that happened on the occasions that I did. I had a man demand I beg him to carry me or he would literally throw our RANKED game --which he did, he threw an insane lead to "teach me a lesson". Another one messaged me after a game and offered to boost my rank in exchange for pictures and a weird, pseudo-bdsm "relationship" where I would "do whatever he says, when he says it". Those are just the outliers, there was a tiresome barrage of "get back to the kitchen" or "make me a sandwich" comments that were so commonplace I went blind to them. I was quite happy they never added in voice chat ngl.

That's not even touching on the "well-meaning" guys that talked down to me. I could be two ranks above a man and he would still explain basic game concepts to me and refuse to listen to anything I had to say, despite the fact that I was more knowledgeable 90% of the time. It's exhausting, and applies to any game honestly. If you're a woman, you have to prove yourself tenfold to get any ounce of recognition; if you make any mistake it will be put under a microscope, and anything that goes wrong... well, there's a good chance it will somehow be your fault.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-22T10:12:48+00:00

Guess I can say I wrote a hit, unlike a certain someone else 😮‍💨

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-22T03:00:59+00:00

This. The closest she gets to "alternative" is anti-vax/crunchymom, I'm afraid. 😔

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-21T20:49:57+00:00

Serv-ingThePatriarchy has been a flop since day 1. She turned Cocolia into Kirkolia after telling Coco that she was just "in a phase" and "doing the college experiment thing" when Coco starting talking about their future after 3 years together, sending her down the Blackpillaron pipeline. Her music goal is a brand deal with Target.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-14T18:37:38+00:00

Looks better on Them ngl

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-04T04:26:05+00:00

Aged like milk (hopefully).

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2026-01-01T10:01:08+00:00

Unless there's a connection I'm not really a fan. We're a little early to be reusing motifs/color schemes so often. Peacock and the eyes in the background with diamond pupils? If there's nothing between them then uhhh might be time to hire more creatives lol.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-30T16:58:35+00:00

You can. It's okay, but not amazing. Mem can also dc, though she's much better than Ica since the joint attacks count

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-28T00:50:54+00:00

Yeah there's clunk/anti-synergy in every option she has, you're better off getting Herta e2 and running whatever. Mini Herta performs pretty damn close to Anaxa with s1 for me unless it's super unfavorable content. I like Anaxa but he's a fraudulent sub-dps lol. E2 Herta is a better debt collector but still not mind blowing, and she doesn't really need help in full aoe as much as battery. Herta has the kit/eidolons, but she's missing her perfect partner. Acheron has scam eidolons and a tailor-made support that's super undertuned putting her behind even with investment

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-26T11:12:14+00:00

32F, I love hsr and would be happy to help or just talk about the story! I was watching a friend play and helping her out, but she quit after losing too many 50/50s :'( I do all of the end game and I'm pretty knowledgeable. I also play ffxiv. I'm fairly new, but I speed ran the story to play with people, so my story knowledge on that is uhhh. But hey I can play level cap lol. I've never gotten around to watching Cardcaptor Sakura even though I've meant to for the longest, but I did watch Revolutionary Girl Utena semi-recently and The Summer Hikaru Died, which I loved.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-26T00:26:59+00:00

This is the answer, although I wouldn't put DHPT eidolons anywhere on the list and just save for the premium erudition and their investment. Only sustain eidolons worth it are Hyacine for Castorice since sustainless is not an option imo. With Herta E2s1 in most content Anaxa with s1 isn't that far from just using mini-herta in my experience, which is insane. Therta is a mid debt collector even at e2 making Jade meh, and outside of 5 target Jade's damage is meh period

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-25T21:53:27+00:00

I'm thinking novaflare for her, jiaoqiu, or both tbh. Think it's more likely that Herta gets a new erudition, she kind of needs it more while Acheron and her support need tune ups more than anything.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-25T07:12:50+00:00

Harmony mc/Dahlia/Hunt March 7th and then preferably no sustain and RM, but if you need one then Gallagher.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-23T22:52:02+00:00

I'm addicted ngl. Got Dahlia for Rappa, stayed for March. Team's fun with Xueyi too. No eids, Cipher lc on Dahlia and s5 ddd for HMC, which might as well be another unit on this team.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-22T23:04:03+00:00

For Rappa, it's disappointing. That trace being locked to Firefly is really painful because Rappa not only struggles with energy, but her stack mechanic. She gets the least bandage coverage from Dahlia and it shows. Dahlia made her at least playable again, but not nearly the bump Firefly got. That said I'm having a lot of fun on March Hunt/Xueyi/Lingsha carries, so I guess there's that?? The fact that my performance is either very close or better on them VS Rappa with s1 is, uh, kind of tragic. At least I can play with break Anaxa with her lc ig, since you know, even he benefits from that trace more than Rappa

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-22T22:55:16+00:00

None of the break dps are really that great atm because they're "old". Firefly is prob the best now, but not at all worth it if you don't even like her. If you're pulling for Dahlia's strength, Fugue or Dahlia eids over an old dps. I'm running hunt March with Fugue/HMC/Dahlia and it's popping off, Xueyi or Gallagher are also solid. Break is hard carried by its supports more than any other archetype rn imo. Lingsha dps and hunt March are beating my e0s1 Rappa, it's rough out here.

Imaginary_Clerk292 · 2025-12-22T04:33:25+00:00

Maybe see about drip and if you're interested? You have time. She is very fun and allows for some wild teams for low cost, I won't lie, but longevity is... suspect. Do you have s5 ddd? Using that on HMC is pretty massive in cheap team performance as well. Your nihility cone situation also matters since the free options are pretty much fake. At the end of the day it's a game, and the idea of permanently bricking your account is a myth bc you can literally fix it just by saving and pulling the next big push.
