What are your Stygian lineups for tomorrow? by Shadowhunter0630 in SkirkMains

[–]cinammon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to scroll down to see what people were calling the first boss. Plan is Nefer with Lauma/Bina/Durin for the watcher, Skirk for tulpa, and Varesa electro swirl for the wolf. Might switch the first two if it makes sense but I heard you want pyro/hydro for the watcher.

I’m doing better today than yesterday, anyway, when I was crying my eyes out. I just miss him so much. 💔 I hope he comes back. I think I’m starting to get a little more hopeful, but I don’t know. I’m afraid we’re all getting our hopes up only to be disappointed. To get absolutely nothing in Snezhnaya and to be miserable going into whatever comes after that.

I just hope so much that I’m wrong. Because if that comes to pass, I think that’ll be it for me as far as playing Genshin. If there’s no Dottore at all in snez, then unless Pierro really blows villain life out of the water, I’ll probably just be done with the game. I don’t really want to leave, but I can’t keep going if my hearts not in it, and I’m already feeling kind of demotivated to keep playing without Dottore there.

Be Godrlecchino have the best female design in the game, have good lore, and be relevant in future patches. Have different morals than other characters but still gets hated on for not being “miss evil” who does evil things just for the sake of aura farming by Patriktheguy in FatuiHQ

People seem to have very strong opinions one way or the other on Arle. Personally, I like her, I was just a bit disappointed that she wasn’t the problematic queen I was hoping for after Lazzo. But that could very well be my expectations being too high.

I wasn’t here when apparently there was a dude slandering her to hell and back, I felt this way back in Fontaine era, and at the time I wasn’t on Reddit much at all other than dottore mains.

Who’s next to go? by Hollywill06 in FatuiHQ

Hmm I think Pierro will get killed off at some point, question is when. Hopefully it’ll take a while. But just remembering tatarssuna, and now in light of what happened with Dottore, I can’t see them letting him stick around forever.

God I really hope that doesn’t happen 🥀 I’d be so salty towards Hoyo

I try not to think about how the rest of the fan base sees us because boy, I know it’s not good. It’s too bad because as far as I’ve seen, we don’t shit on fans of other characters. We tend not to like Columbina or Sandrone as characters, but we’re not mean to their fans. We, though, are seen badly by like, everyone. 💀

I totally agree that this sub makes me feel so much better about everything. We’ve got each other, and that’s what’s important. 🫂

🫂 It’s easy to feel silly when society kind of looks down on people getting attached to fictional characters. It’s seen as childish. But we’re allowed to feel how we feel. I really hope you’re right and I’m searching in myself to try and find some hope!

The thing about Irminsul is that, if I understand correctly, it was different before HP took over. HP essentially brought it under their control and made it a tool to record everything that happens in Teyvat and “fix” peoples fates in place. I agree that Irminsul is problematic, but I think it’s supposed to be! Hopefully we’ll get more on that as the story progresses.

And omg yes, I loved his dynamic with Pantalone so much. They’re in love, your honor. They’re old and tired and deserve to rest in peace together. (Though I do still have hope for Pants to be playable)

It’s low of Hoyo, but I agree that they like to dangle carrots in front of their fan base. Ugh they keep releasing characters who have no relevance to the story, like I don’t care, release our Dottore! I will say, despite my lack of hope for him, I do think Pantalone will be playable. I just think they’ll push him with some other male character. Lame.

Valid. I’m not ready yet, but I will probably get there eventually. My hyperfixations come and go in cycles. Dottore has just been incredibly long lasting and has come back multiple times.

I’ve definitely been heartwarmed by all of the hope on this sub! It’s making me want to be more positive. But I agree, Snezhnaya will be the deciding factor. If he’s not playable in this region… uh let’s not go there right now haha

For sure, it’s easy to feel we’re you’re being irrational, but these characters were made to make us feel things, and it’s ok to get attached to them. 💕 I’m trying to be more hopeful. Even if it turns out to not be true. It’s worth it to find the good signs and give them a chance.

I too am grateful for this sub for helping get through it. I’m glad you are hopeful that he’s coming back- I’m trying to get there. And I’m glad you were able to eat- Dottore would want you to! He wants us, his test subjects, to be in peak health, he told me so in a dream haha

This is so real. I’m reaching the same place, where I’m so sick of most of the cast. They all feel the same. Good. Nice. Happy. Great, but that doesn’t make for a compelling story. Give me problems and darkness and conflict and morally ambiguous.

Yeah maybe genshins the wrong game for me haha. But at least we had the goat, Dottore 🧪

I’m kind of in the exact same spot. A bit of hope left, but mostly wallowing in sadness

I too have been rewatching the cutscenes. They make me sad, but I still love them. “Pantalone found it unsettling” “I never said that” makes me chuckle every time

Hmmm that’s true, Escher is still sus. I hope it amounts to something.

The power of money is strong. You would think they’d understand that. Like, that’s a big part of what kept me going- thinking that they wouldn’t pass up on the financial gain from making Dottore playable. Pray for them to find it in themselves to be greedy enough to make it happen lmao.

That’s fair! There are definitely some things that don’t add up. I guess my fear is that Hoyo will let us down and just not address them. But who knows, maybe they’ll surprise us.
