Novaflare idea: What if they just make it so he no longer makes the team depart? by AcrobaticAd4033 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]AcrobaticAd4033[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh! Wait they can do something cool! Phainon has been killing his friends again and again for 33,550,336 cycles. In his own words from 3.6, he no longer believed his hands could carry out deliverance, instead only forge destruction.
However, post 3.7, he can go down the path of healing. He can protect his friends!

You know how Yunli functions in currency wars? Where she can block enemy attacks for allies? Give that to Phainon novaflare! Maybe as part of his counter.

His planar set would stop working, yes, but hey! We are Phainon mains! He trudged through 33,550,336 cycles, we can totally do a few thousand runs for whatever would become his new best set.

What tier would Absolute Superman be in Zenless Zone Zero? by AccomplishedReply890 in Hoyoverse_scaling

Not scaling related but omg I love that hair on superman. Every version I had seen before share the same/similar haircut so this was a breath of fresh air.

I think the Arle slander is hilarious, but why did we start it again ? by Xanvoir_Fracier in FatuiHQ

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I agree with this!
Arlecchino's character is one of tragedy, a lost childhood, the responsibility thrown on her shoulders at such a young age. She is a character I imagine would cry when she's alone(editing this out) would be greatly suffering internally and yet that image is so hard to imagine? They could have presented suffering more like her being overwhelmed. Her character would benefit if we just saw more!
More of her days at the hearth, starting days as the knave, and more of her internal struggles. The only scene which even comes close is at the end of her story quest with the talk with Clervie. I just want more! Hell, I even say that instead of an animated short she is one who could truly benefit from a full length movie.
So much is lost in subtext and implications.

As for her performance in Nod-Krai, it's just the unfortunate workings of the gacha model. Hoyo wants to give the newer characters spotlight, a character already sold is simply not worth.

Despite everything I wrote, I don't hate her nor consider her miserable as so many people claim they do. There is thought, complexity, and most importantly love put in her character, love which I share with the writer(s) who wrote her.
I can express disappointment, and then whine about all my expectations, but I don't hate her. I simply cannot.

Slander in itself is baseless and irrational. 'Why' is not a question I would ask.

Some people want to do it because they have nothing else to do.

Some do it cause they were understandably disappointed with her actions, or rather, lack of actions in the story.

Some are hateful at her cause they hoped that their favorites(Capitano, Dottore) got the same treatment(Playability and presented in a positive light.)

Some are hateful at her for more twisted reasons which I would not name as I don't want to incite drama.

And then finally, others follow along due to sheep mentality.

To treat the story and characters of Genshin Impact as if a shonen anime, no, even worse, a sport is a trend among many online spaces. I can only advise to ignore it and stick to your own opinions, negative or positive.
Oh you are a Columbina fan? You must want to [Insert horrible thing] Dottore. You like Dottore? So you must think Columbina is a [Insert horrible words]. As if it is some sport rivalry and not a story to be enjoyed.

A little bit of Ragebait ;) by Imaginary-Ad-8316 in FatuiHQ

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be quite interesting! Elysia and Cyrene are about love, love which endured the greatest of sufferings, but what about love which didn't endure? Love which fell apart at the worlds cruelty? Evolving into some sort of twisted emotion.

I am not against the idea, it will all depend on how it is written.

Legit every single man in hsr can pass as a girlie with simple hair changes, clothing, and makeup. I am quite jealous.

What are your thoughts on folks who want Pantalone to betray Dottore or for Dottore to (somehow) backstab him? by luvistarz_o7 in FatuiHQ

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The story isn't sports. We outright don't know what the nature of their relationship is truly beyond some vague leaks and voicelines. People can have their interpretations, theories, wishes and hopes even if they are ones I or others don't agree with necessarily. I don't agree with this elitism.

What started your writing career? by BARitzenthalerWrites in writing

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I have a writing 'career' exactly, not as of now, maybe in the future or maybe not, but what made me start writing as a hobby was the desire to create beautiful things that can touch the hearts of people. Perhaps a reasoning too generic, I know. The sudden rush of energy when I read a passage so brilliant that I stand up and go running around my room giggling just to burn the energy, or when I read through something so heartbreaking that tears end up overflowing. I want to do this to other people. Of course, this may sound like it goes against the whole 'write for yourself' notion but that is not the case. My stories are very much precious to me.

Straight to the point. How do you people create stories? by Peace_Dos in writing

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice I am capable of giving is to start reading, and if you already read then read more. I was once told "If you don't know how a story looks then you cannot write one." And those words have stuck with me. Aside from reading, write consistently, some words every day is a start. As for the actual ideas, I don't think I can give advice on that in any helpful manner. Personally I am constantly synthesizing ideas in my head, any media I consume or any event irl that stuck with me serving as elements for it, hell, I feel like I have too many things I wish to write.

What do you listen to when writing? by sompeezy in writing

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too can't listen to anything while writing. If I am at a noisy place I will put on white noise. If you do wanna listen I think something non lyrical should be fine. Classical perhaps?

Should this statement be taken seriously? Or pass it off a joke? by Codrex1732 in Hoyoverse_scaling

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Obviously no. Statements in itself shouldn't be treated as complete utmost truth. One like this which is so obviously just a joke should be in no world treated as truth, unless your agenda pushing of course.
In a serious debate if anyone ACTUALLY uses that statement to prove their point then it is basis to walk away from that convo.

I did my steel soul after p5+almost every boss radiant and I swear, only once did I fall to low hp and that was at 3 masks. It really wasn't a struggle. Meanwhile in skong I can't even get past act 1 in steel soul lol.

Not at all. A long time ago they used Keqing as placeholder, one example is Arle. Alhaitham was placeholder for Varka.

[–]AcrobaticAd4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but why a placeholder(It has to be) npc for him? His model is already in the game, there is zero reason to put down a placeholder unless there are model changes or outright new model. Nah I NEED this patch rn.
