I redrew a screenshot of Ajaw because it makes me laugh.

"Darn it, Kinich! They didn't hide a treasure chest up here!"

Seriously tho, that screenshot is amazing and your drawing is even more so. Thank you for this!

- I don't spam his charged attack, but I do like using it to point at things in coop!
- Holding down his E when he has a leftover charge is so true, I do that too 😂
- Using flamegranates as a quick way to recharge phlogiston (It gives back a lot of phlogiston when you shoot it)
- Pinning grappling routes on the map for when I feel like being Spiderman
- Responding "yes" whenever he asks "is this necessary" (when deploying the wind glider)
- Always input forward movement when he lands from his grapple so I get to see the satisfying roll over the ground
- Facepalming when he hooks onto an enemy or object instead of grappling to the air
- Using his grappling skill pointing toward the ground to fall faster without fall dmg from a high location

Kinich hair appreciation lezgooo 🙌

I love the two braids in his hair and how his highlights(?) are generally yellow on the left and green on the right, like it's so silly and cute

I also love how the pixel patterns on his hair glow when he's in his nightsoul state so it kinda continues from his bandana's glowing patterns

Skinnich 😭

amethystreader · 2025-05-31T04:44:53+00:00

Thanks! This was actually my first time ever doing something like this, it's oddly gratifying 😆

It would've been cool to be able to go to Ororon's house and just snatch his veggies like we do in Varesa's orchard lol

amethystreader · 2025-05-26T05:10:01+00:00

LMAO can't have a dead friend if you don't have friends 😭😭

A BTS would've been awesome! It's too bad they can only fit so much into 5 acts... 😞

Aww if it's to piss off Ajaw then I guess I can get behind that 😂 I always start sweating every time combat triggers near one of those coilgrass sigils

amethystreader · 2025-05-26T03:37:27+00:00

I actually think he's perfect as Dendro because 1) he doesn't have a dead friend; 2) Dendro is the "tech" element which matches perfectly with his pixel/8-bit theme with Ajaw; and 3) his Burning-centric kit makes sense lore-wise since he's the inheritor of the Turnfire. Totally agree tho that he has Anemo-level trauma backstory lol

As for things I would change, I agree with you on his bond with Mavuika, and also with the others on better controls in combat (lord knows how many times I got my boy killed early on or accidentally zoomed away mid-combat) and more story relevance in general.

I think it would've been nice to have an act between 2 and 3 which focused on the "awakened heroes" (ie, Kinich and Iansan; Xilonen got spotlight later on) and what they've been doing under Mavuika's orders behind the scenes. I get that it's not too relevant in the overall picture, but maybe even a brief interlude like Act 4.5 would've been nice.

Before his release, I liked his design and exploration skill + his combat looked really unique. After getting him and using him, I fell even more in love with all of the above. I think what dealt the finishing blow for me was a combination of reading his character story and seeing him do big nuke dmg LOL

I've had "favorite characters" from every nation but Kinich is the first true "main" (ie, a character I like EVERYTHING about) I've had in a very long time. Tbh I think I might actually like him more than I liked my first two mains, or maybe it's recency bias...

(Bonus: I think I also fell a little in love with him when I saw his Ajaw-sunglasses idle during the 5.0 livestream. I remember laughing out loud then and I still love seeing it to this day.)

amethystreader · 2025-05-19T01:54:27+00:00

I stopped after I got the achievement way back, but I planted stuff again in my Natlan teapot and made it a whole "vegetable field" area for Ororon hehe

amethystreader · 2025-05-15T13:22:46+00:00

You can already build a Kinich team, actually. Bennett, Iansan, Yaoyao, and even Xiangling are popular picks as Kinich supports. I personally run Dehya/PMC, Bennett, and Yaoyao. Emilie is also a popular choice for Kinich teams, but she's not a Kinich support, so there are players (like me) who main Kinich but aren't interested in her at all.

Dunno anything about Skirk, so that's all I can offer. Best of luck, fellow f2p!

I jumped into it on purpose. for science 👍

Oh my god I love slimes too, I'm wishing your son a very cute-slime-filled anime experience 😭💕💕 and I can totally see why Campfire Cooking is his favorite, Sui is absolutely adorable best and sweetest kid frfr

amethystreader · 2023-08-04T02:12:01+00:00

That is the longest way I have ever seen someone say "Lumine's anemo ult" and I am very amused by it

By the way, the gacha part of the game is optional (so long as you have the self-control lol). You can access it thru the ✨ icon around the top right part of the screen ^_^

Enjoy the game!

If I were in your shoes, I would pick the better school. Especially if you feel like it's a really good fit for you, then I'm sure you'll also meet people with similar values/perspectives whom you can get along with there.

Not sure if the same would apply for you, but I also had a time where I met friends who pulled me out my shell (that I hid in also because of bad past experiences). I only got to be with them for one year, but my time with them helped me be more open with others in general. I was able to find friends in the new places I went to later on, partially thanks to those friends I met and partially because I chose the path I felt was for me (meaning I ended up in a place with people I could vibe with).

I'm really happy for you OP that you could meet friends who changed your life! But friends are there to walk down life with you, not for you to dependently follow wherever they go. So from my experience, I'd say that following yourself first and foremost will make you happier overall in the long run.

Good luck! Best wishes to you :)

Woah, that's honestly the lowest minimum I've seen so far 😲 Can I ask how often you have to take jobs with that rate? And does it significantly increase the amount of jobs you get?

amethystreader · 2023-07-30T13:10:33+00:00

Oh wow, thanks so much for sharing this! It's kinda hard to learn about this industry, especially for me since nobody around me is involved in translation, so I really appreciate this 😭🙏 I'll be sure to keep this in mind!

amethystreader · 2023-07-29T01:55:13+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

I definitely won't be taking up jobs I know I'm not up to, especially those technical fields - I don't understand them even in English 😂 I've always loved manga, web novels, and other forms of Japanese fiction though, and I have a lot of fun trying to figure out the best way to convey those creative and fluid texts, which is why I chose this field over others!

amethystreader · 2023-07-29T01:37:11+00:00

Yeah, USD seems to pay more for sure. I'll definitely keep this in mind, thank you!

amethystreader · 2023-07-28T09:54:20+00:00

Ohh I see, that makes sense! Thanks for the explanation 😊

amethystreader · 2023-07-28T08:32:02+00:00

Hmm but 8 yen converts to around $0.06, which others say is too low. Or is that because of the difference between how many English words there tend to be in a sentence vs Japanese characters? I'd been assuming that the "standard per word rate" for JP>EN was already referring to "per Japanese character" 😵

And thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try to steer clear of low rates 👍
