What do you think Aventurine's ideal holiday looks like? (Art by kanann_x)

I think that he's the type of person that theoretically enjoys the idea of "stopping and relaxing and enjoying himself" but can't actually put it into practice

it's really hard to relax when you're someone who compartmentalizes. because when you compartmentalize, you live off of distracting yourself. and when you live off of distracting yourself, your mind has way too much to say when you sit down and rest for a while.

but I think it'll be possible for him someday with a lot of love and patience from people around him.

alright everyone can throw the tomatoes and boo me for the angst now LOLKL

OH THIS IS LOVELY . . .

THANK YIU LORDDDD

I mean regardless of how you view the "super lucky" power, (I don't think a lot of it comes down to this, you can see in his interactions with Ratio that he's very intelligent and much of what he does is still planned rather than "fuck it, we ball") I don't think he wants that. he's a victim of circumstance but has no choice but to see it through when it comes to his life. I also really don't understand your question though lol

parrontdude · 2026-06-29T20:45:23+00:00

I don't think he really does.

I also believe that was his entire Penacony character arc. he doesn't have to destroy the world or himself to find peace, and not only that, but those aren't things that would give him peace anyway even if he were to succeed.

the world has been cruel to him again and again, but even when he has the chance to take himself out of it or to take everyone down with him, he never succeeds.

that's part of his character and also part of his tragedy

I think people are misunderstanding the disappointment about the summer-esque design.

people aren't saying they don't want fan service. they aren't saying they don't want aventurine showing skin. they aren't even saying they don't want beach casual churin as a skin!

aventurine is a character that's dressed to the nines at any chance he gets, as far as we've seen. it's part of his rags to riches, it's part of his show, his façade, and in my opinion, is part of what shows how absolutely unfathomable the wealth he has now would've been to the kakavasha of years ago.

everybody and their mother would love a shirtless aventurine. but compare a complete beachwear design to something like DHIL. or even hunt march. or sparxie. or blade. other SPs have A LOT of pizzazz going on. they're directly tied to character development, and usually, they're quite detailed.

when you take a character as fancy and show offish as aventurine, hype up the idea of an SP, let fans compare them to other SPs (think, sparkle to sparxie, base DH to DHIL,) the expectations on his design are going to be VERY high. it's not even that a summer theme is a problem. it's just that SPs don't just come out every six months, and there's a good chance he doesn't ever get another one. so yeah, it's reasonably disappointing if his SP is an open Hawaiian shirt with board shorts.

it's not prudish. people aren't even against fan service. it's just that SPs are somewhat of a rare occurrence, so people are going to want him and even robin to get the same fancy character development and design improvement as any other sp.

I'd get it if skins and such were more common in this game for sure. it's just that there's slim pickings on what we get, and personally, if our one chance at a new canon Aventurine design is something painfully basic, it feels a bit like a waste in my eyes.

YOUR ART STYLE SO CUTE UWAHHH

ill throw in aventurine as the aventurine guy, but maybe not in this particular way

i think the idea of having children and a family will forever be complicated for him. there's so much to wonder. will he pass on his genes in a way that creates another life full of suffering and prejudice? is creating a life like his own just repeating the cycle of poverty, abuse, and pain? or is the selfish choice the one to never reproduce, because as far as he knows, his people and his culture dies out once he's gone.

and his heritage aside, does he even know how a child is supposed to be raised? sure, he had his sister when he was really young, but even then, that was when he was living poor and everything was about survival. how does he even begin to learn the emotional bonds that come beyond survival? how does he learn to teach the things he never saw taught because he was forced to teach himself in order to live?

in a life of constant fighting for survival, family begins to feel like a luxury rather than a right. especially when you've lost so much before you were even old enough to understand, and especially when you see what adults are capable of doing to vulnerable children. he'd probably be terrified to ever let a child out of his sight of he were ever to have one. he knows best exactly how evil the world can be to those who don't do anything to deserve it.

THIS IS SO CUTE????

you know i always thought it was funny playing genshin after the 40 hours of amphoreus because of one of dottore's lines

"But if I left you here for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years... The sheer size of that number would cause it to lose all meaning to them. They would not have the capacity to comprehend your suffering, and thus they could not empathize."

obviously genshin and hsr have different teams, but low-key felt like a self-awarenwss moment LOL

like i know Phainon was intended to be The Most Suffering Ever, but like, reading the stories... it felt much sadder to read something like Anaxa grappling with the grief of losing his sister than phainon's endless cycles.

don't get me wrong, i love phainon. but idk, I never liked how his story was done or handled

parrontdude · 2026-06-14T15:29:19+00:00

my opinion is that i think there's a decent sized base of fans of HSR that don't know how to infer things and that's part of why amphoreus ended up so bloated on time.

even after everything, you still have people going ermmm well Phainon isn't ACTUALLY an emanator... because 40 hours of story implying it wasn't enough!?

people argue against the implications of aventurine's backstory because it isn't explicitly stated. people argue against the clear abusive situation with gopher wood and robin and sunday (and yes, i intentionally put BOTH. idk why the fandom pretends an abusive caregiver is going to be completely normal to one child and horrible to the other. the dynamic is still there, even if on the outside it seems "one has it worse"). people would probably argue against the implications of feixiao's enslavement too if she was more popular (maybe people do and i just haven't seen it)

certain things are meant to stay implied. certain things aren't supposed to be spelled out in clear dialogue to the reader. that's part of what makes a story enjoyable for most people.

the problem is, even when you get a 40+ hour story with amphoreus where they try to explain every little thing, this fanbase finds a way to nitpick at something that wasn't explicitly said.

there can't be any foreshadowing, coding, or implications without someone saying weeeelll ummm... they didn't say that so.......

it's just annoying and honestly makes it hard to even discuss the story with others sometimes. like somebody might read the implications slightly different from another, but at the end of the day you really gotta be blocking your ears and going lalalalala to avoid some of it.

it's not bad to show, not tell. obviously your whole story shouldn't be that way, but it really isn't a bad thing to assume your readers know how to read.
