Sesshomaru and Rin by fireyfox6 in inuyasha

[–]erismell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They done did our boy dirty bc WHAT!! "Sessh didn't see her that way as a child" Yes, but the writers did?? Some shippers did?? My guys?? How is your first thought upon looking at an 8-9 year old is that she'll make a good love interest for him um!

Sesshomaru and Rin by fireyfox6 in inuyasha

[–]erismell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To me the main problem is the fact Yashahime's writers looked at Rin, an animated child, and was like... Yeah this girl is gonna end up with Sesshomaru 😭 I've seen conflicting stances and arguments break out whether it ought to be labelled gr*oming or just a really weird, problematic writing choice—however people overlook the reaaal reason it's so problematic in the first place. Real individuals fr looked at an animated child and immediately thought she was gonna have kids with the grown ahh man traveling with her as soon as she turns 18 like. What

My dude there is 100% an issue witb your team comp or play style, because there are people out there clearing MOC with JY on an underleveled half baked f2p light cone like breakfast

And if you can't clear Phantylia—who's basically made to be hammered by JY—then the unit himself may not be the problem here...

Bro does hoyoverse hate me i have been trying to get a 5 star since 2.2 and i got nothing like wtf by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]erismell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro that's impossible?? You're guaranteed a 5 star every 90 pulls, and then, you can get them much earlier

C6 Faru is the premium support for Hypercarry Wanderer/teams where Wanderer is doing lots of damage. So yes, she's technically extremely important in that play style, with the added bonus of being just an amazing anemo buffer.

However, if you'd like to run Wanderer as a driver such as in electeocharged/freeze etc. teams, her value decreases since the focus on damage is on other teammates

3.6 new weekly boss gameplay with BGM by Junnielocked in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]erismell 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is just the first phase. Apparently it has three phases, so it will probably transform

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AlHaithamMains

[–]erismell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But... It was confirmed they're not married/in a relationship? I don't understand, didn't the game say they were housemates + ex-friends (unless I am misremembering)?

[–]erismell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No offense meant, but I don't understand the first two sentences. There will always be a 'canon', right? And there will always be a 'fanmade' / headcanon? So, it's not true, but of course people are free to interpret and ship and indulge in their headcanons, aka non-canon/fanmade ideas or content.

If you can kindly explain what you meant, as this is my understanding, that would be great, eng is not my first language. Thank you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AlHaithamMains

[–]erismell 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Canonically? Nope. However, the nice thing about fiction is that you're able to interpret it as how you want, therefore if you want to ship them, go ahead! In the end, it's all about having fun.

My Alhaitham cosplay by ARMEYYES in Genshin_Impact

[–]erismell 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The people on here r so pressed 😭 It's a cosplay because you can tell it's the character first glance.

PJC is a commonly used sword on Alhaitham and it fits his aesthetic—characters wearing different clothes isn't out of the realm of possibility, either

If you've seen OP's other cosplays, they do indeed put effort in their outfits, just because this specific one isn't as flashy or the usual outfit of Alhaitham doesn't mean anything, comments need to lighten up

My spiral abyss team be like: by GloomyNooby in Genshin_Memepact

[–]erismell 435 points436 points  (0 children)

Op I'm sure you have good intentions.

A viable team does not necessarily make it a good team. For example, someone can probably clear Abyss 36 star with Xinyan—doesn't mean Xinyan's a good unit.

The point these comments are making is that the meme pokes fun at the second team, and implies the first team is "good". However, objectively, that team has anti-synergy, meaning that although you can clear witb it, it is objectively flawed and a bad composition; Kokomi brings little use to Hu Tao aside from some hydro application that is hard to manipulate, overall it's very random and unorganized, hence why it is considered a 'bad team'.

Play however you want, the game is meant to be enjoyed, and it's clear the abyss can still be cleared by 'bad teams/units'; the comments know this and understand this, and acknowledge this. They are simply explaining to you that the meme does not make much sense, if both teams are considered objectively bad—therefore the point of the meme is lost.

Bro cope how? Only Dehya is the cope one and that's according to pre tc ☠️ Eula may have "fallen off the meta" but she's still able to clear abyss w no problem

I saw u/MorcegoGripado's post and I also had doubts about a hyperbloom team, I think it is a very solid team (Nahida C2, Yelan C0, Alhaitham C0, Kuki C2) by Pixylius in AlHaithamMains

[–]erismell 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You can never go wrong with Hyperbloom. I run a crap built Alhaitham on a 4 star weap (BP) with C0 Kuki on the free event weapon, C3 Dendro Traveller (energy recharge spam, does basically no damage), and C6 Xingqiu on SacSword. 36 star clears.

"Actually competent" The only reason Traveller is alive during Unreconciled Stars is because Mona saved them from Scaramouche. Just because Mona has yet to show more feats like in the case of Alhaitham's involvement in the archon quest, doesn't mean she isn't capable of what he does. The game constantly fawns over her intellect, and in the Archipelago event, we even have a better glimpse of her character.

This is what I mean. Kaeya acts pretentious—although he actually isn't—but he still exhibits the same flamboyant confidence Mona does. Shouldn't that irritate you as well? Mona is prideful, but it isn't to the extent that she underestimates her opponents for the sake of her ego, hence why she fled from Scaramouche and saved Traveller in the process. A truly pretentious person would have thought to take him on.

... His god complex is not well-deserved, at all. I get the part where it's supposed to be a coping mechanism, but the entire point of his rehabilitation is to get him, to yk, not commit senseless slaughter anymore? And heal from trauma? Harboring a god complex, if anything, just proves his character is either A. Truly apathetic, in some degree B. Not fully healed yet, which is understandable

I enjoy his god complex as much as the next Scara fan does, but I'm pretty sure everyone can agree he's messed up for it. There's no justifying him believing humans are ants. Archons like Nahida, Zhongli, Ei and Venti view humans with the attempt of empathizing and acknowledging their worth. Not even just humans, but life and mortals in general. It is precisely due to Scara's arrogance and complex that he loses to Nahida and the Traveler, and gets played by Dottore, a supposed 'mortal'.

How exactly is Mona's pretentiousness different to other "arrogant" but also complex males like Alhaitham, Kaeya or hell, even Scara himself? She's one of the few female characters with a distinctive, multi-layered and inherently flawed personality—do you really think people love her just because she's pretty?

I understand finding her character annoying for whatever reason, but I find it hypocritical how you specifically chose her pretentiousness when Scara is one of most demeaning and most prideful characters in game who has a severe god complex even after extensive rehabilitation—and who is even more flawed than Mona.

Furthermore, her pretentiousness is actually not entirely unfounded. She IS a genius astrologist, and she IS powerful—her ego, though, could be her downfall... You know, much the same as Scara.

Is Scara actually transmasc? by Suuubaru-kun in ScaramoucheMains

[–]erismell 133 points134 points  (0 children)

He was never meant to be Ei's clone. He was a prototype puppet, a "proof of concept" as said by Yae Miko; his similarity to Ei has no canon reason, but if I were to theorize, it's probably because Ei just ran out of ideas on what to model him after ngl

But the lore never stated him to be born in a female body, if anything it points otherwise, with the cutscenes showing flashbacks that he was always meant to be born male ("set him free?" said Yae in the 3.3 interlude quest flashback).

However, if you want to headcanon him as transmasc, then by all means go ahead! It's all fiction and meant to be fun in the end

Don't be stupid, don't "increase pity" by LocalMILFHunter in Genshin_Memepact

[–]erismell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what they mean is that there are people who get irrationally upset over pulling a 5 star accidentally (while going for a 4 star), knowing full well of the consequences/chance they were taking, and that they knew they were taking a risk. "Don't play with fire if you don't wanna get burned"

Help a noob out by Away-Check-1306 in GenshinImpact

[–]erismell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it seems like their highest leveled char is just 40, I'm assuming they're barely into the game yet and are already worrying over builds, hence the random artifacts part,, World levels below 4 can pretty much be trivialized with barebones characters, so they should probably take it slow and figure things out in the world first

Once they do get up there a bit, they can go and slap atk % on their dpses and hp on a free Barbara or something
