4.3 reveals that the blade who is cooking and parental locking sw’s phone is a rogue imaginae and real blade shows up and fucking stabs that guy and thats how we get mortenax blade. he sees dan heng in his peripherals and starts literally growling before sw drags him away . i fixed it

YES YES YES THANK YOU THANK YOU

[b1adie]

The thing I really don't get is why they're doing all of this to Blade. Like. People already like Blade, I've seen plenty of people talk about how they want to pull Mortenax Blade just because it's him, and even people who aren't as big of fans of him want him because he works well with other characters they like. He would sell well without all of this, and people who think the Stellaron Hunters are a found family would keep having fun with their fanon ideas anyway, without it actually affecting the writing in game. There's no reason to butcher him like this. He can have character development without being completely changed. If anything I think it would only hurt his popularity since it just alienates people who genuinely care about his characterization and writing. It really worries me for future SP characters, too.

not only are they obliterating his existing character but they spoiled the entire character arc he’s going through in 4.3 in his marketing already too like 😭 okay…… i wanted him to have screentime so much but Not Like This…

i was mildly charmed by the dad blade thing when it first came about bc it was giving like. here's a funny, not-necessarily-canon bit we're doing. he straight up looked confused like the entire time by it i thought it was like. his caring side being exaggerated for comedy and we would go back to our regularly scheduled mara struck bastard

but no. they're just doing that now apparently

its so fucking over for us

[b1adie]

im coming to the realization that it's not uncommon for hoyoverse to flaunderize their own characters. the whole gist of blade being the 'housewife' was funny because he was a thousand times more complex than that, which gave the humor of it weight. kind of like gap moe! if that makes sense. then the writers saw people loved it, stripped away the complexity, and left him with only the gag. we then see less of the charafter and more of the punchline. it's what's happening to bronya and seele in hi3 as well. i won't go off topic but they're becoming the foolish husband / responsible wife trope...

oh god no theyre even flanderizing bronseele? fuck my life. & Its very “how do you do fellow kids” when canon starts trying to put fanon shit in it… like no… its funny when we do it bc its absurd. when YOU(canon) do it its not absurd anymore and the worlds most annoying people get emboldened and i lose my mind

[b1adie]

my theory on the whole blade situation is that blade is just really hard to write in the way that hoyo needs their characters to be.

he's frequently and unexpectedly has magical mania/psychosis/ptsd attacks, he has severe memory issues, he needs to be consensually brainwashed to remain functional, he's depressed and wants to die, he has very weird relationship with his own personhood. that's all fine and okay when he's a somewhat secondary character in XL arc who plays a "villain-but-not-really" role. but when you need him to be a greater and more driving presence in the story while showing him from a different side to justify selling a new sp? while making him as appealing as possible to players/buyers? well, suddenly he doesn't look so easy to manage.

like I don't think it's impossible to write him in a way that would accomplish hoyo's goals while keeping him true to himself, it's just significantly harder. the writers would need to sit and think about it. it would be more expensive. and a company this rich is never going to spend more money on production than what they believe is necessary.

it's not even that I find the idea of blade cooking or looking out for silver wolf implausible or ooc, but, c'mon, really? that's the main push of his drip marketing? fanservice? really? to me this all just looks like an admission of "we wrote ourselves into a corner with this character, and now don't know what to do with him!!"

this is making me so scared for kafka... please hoyo don't massacre my woman...

well someone needs to kill everyone and hire writers who know how to write my man before you see me on the news

[b1adie]

What you said about the changes in characterization.

They saw the memeing about girl dad Blade and decided to make it canon. Another example of why creators should absolutely NOT interact with the fandom. Fandom doesn't know shit; the memes are only fun because of the absurd contrast that a insane death seeker mass murdered could be patient and actually good with kids.

Also, seeing Dan Heng for the past 100? 200? years and hunting him down until death or escape because the mara and insanity takes over getting suddenly changed to "you make me calm"????? What In The Fuck?

I thought it was funny the obvious flirting and insinuation when I saw that scene at first, and then it was kinda weird because they're also going strong on the danstelle/dancae shipping as official, but besides memeing (which should stay totally as off-character, off-actual-game), it's just plain wrong characterization.

Perhaps we could just go through the classic escape route of Blame The Woman, and say that Kafka fucked up his head so much she fixed him but also made him a worse-bland character. Tame. So the question now is how messed up they made her. Perhaps Doting Mother Kafka to go with Doting Dad Blade? Maybe she will say something absurd like she is afraid (!) for TBs safety, and that is actually the whole point of her following Elio - to learn about the motherly fear all woman have for their dear dear offspring.

you’re going to make me throw up and faint please have mercy

i liked the girl dad blade angle up until they started to actually lean on it. when it was accidental and he was still stiff and weird in an endearing way about it i liked it a lot but now that he's the father that stepped up i'm getting bad vibes too :'-) i also wondered what's with the cooking since he struggles with his hands but it has brought me a little comfort to imagine that he started off fucking terrible at it and then slowly became better i.e. mashed potatoes? he's mashing the potatoes with his fists because he can't use the proper utensils for it. also maybe it sparks joy for him to get burned by the pans since he can't use the furnace anymore?

if they showed him completely fucking it up i’d like that too but it seems like he’s suddenly a master chef

[b1adie]

don't worry I can fix this uhm uh. blade only put the control locks on sw ph9ne bc Kafka made him do it w spirit whisper bc she thought it would be funnt that's also why dw dint just hack the parental link vc spirit whisper prevented her that's it stelleton huntsr fixed forevsf

FUCK ITS LIKE THEY FORGOT THE SPIRIT WHISPER. HE NEEDS THE SPIRIT WHISPER. FUCK

my uncles friends cousins plumbers dog actually works at hoyo and i have insider information In 4.3 they are making it so kafka no longer spirit whispers blade they just do therapy speak for a bit and that fixes it

Thank you for the discourse/train of opinions you started, it feels nice to feel validated about the awful changes I feel are happening regarding certain characters as well. Makes me feel less insane about the things I care about.

god me too. i thought posting here would be kind of risky but it seems im not actually crazy and hyv really is fucking with us. Bring back blade who the hell is this guy

i hate this new dad blade angle. where’s my creepy freaky weirdo monster why the fuck is he putting a child protection lock on silver wolf’s phone bc she gamed too late and “talked back” to him??? why does every group of characters get turned into a nuclear family dynamic? blade is a dissociative disconnected filthy blood-soaked deathseeking freak. Why is he suddenly the chef of the group he should be eating raw meat in a corner and not allowed near the stove. why is he making dinner for everyone now. because hes dada papa? googoo gaga mama waaahh?

[b1adie]

and and AND re; the cooking thing. His hands are fucked up??? His hand injuries are a legitimate disability that severely impedes his motor skills??? but now he’s just been cooking this whole time?????

?????????????????????

[b1adie]

i fear we need bladie chewing on his own arms or something in 4.3

HE NEEDS TO GET WEIRD IM BEGGING WHERE IS MY WEIRDO
