long answer yes I just got caught up in. a lot of other things. I've been wanting to return for a while now! I still hope to, even!! but I have no idea when that'll be. thank you so much for the concern though, it really does mean a lot <3
took an unexpected break (got accepted into a zine and have started getting commissions set up!) but since the preinstall is out here's your reminder to go do that! this blog will also remain spoiler free for at least the first week of the new patch, although I'll personally be playing through as soon as possible <3

btw if you want to come onto this blog to do the whole 'genshin could never' kindly don't. I get that it's frustrating to see the difference in anniversary rewards, but it's also incredibly annoying for any discussion of either game to become a comparison contest.
If you're interested in any of the new characters btw I HIGHLY recommend you watch the livestream segment for when they're introduced. Each of them got a very in depth discussion, and while its all very interesting, it's far too much for me to put here in a simple summary
Story:
New trailblaze mission - The Devil in Velvet
The new mission will include multiple povs similar to the luofu story, with a separate toggle to switch pov. These multiple povs are also displayed in the fates atlas menu to avoid confusion of the timeline. I'm assuming this means we'll have more control of our perspective, rather than having a forced break in the story to show what a different character is doing, but we'll have to wait to see how it's implemented.
Areas and Materials:
Clock Studios Theme Park
Themed around the mascots of Penacony, with an area dedicated to each. Minigames/puzzles are themed around shooting movies
Dewlight pavilion
Headquarters for the Oak family, owned by Sunday. Puzzles involve shrinking down into a replica model of Aideen Park?
Events:
Vignettes in a Cup
Drink mixing event similar to that of Belobog's museum or the Luofu's Aurum alley. Rewards a free 4* character of choice, which includes Gallagher
Tides of War
Combat event similar to that of the current Dreamjolt TV event? Details aren't entirely clear but that's what it seems like to me
Cosmodyssey
Game board event to celebrate HSR's first anniversary! Rewards are both individual and shared across the server I think?
Planar Fissure with triple rewards
Realm of the Strange with triple rewards
Festive Gifts - 20 free pulls
1,600 jades via mail on April 26th
A BUNCH of offline events and partnerships
Other:
New fire ascension material
New preservation trace material
New abundance trace material
Simulated Universe World 9
Includes 2 new relic sets, though the exact details weren't shown. One is a dps set while the other is meant for characters in a team with the same path as them. Difficulty iv will also be available immediately and all previous difficulty rewards can be claimed all at once (similar to Forgotten Hall) They also stated a big update to SU will happen in 2.3, including an easier way to farm relics.
Claim all/redeploy all button for assignments
Increased inventory for relics to 2000
A bunch of other stuff was talked about too! Future system to do with March, Xianzhou story updates (including possible Tingyun?)
HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT BOOTHILL BEING DRIP MARKETED BEFORE FIRELY
JUSTICE FOR MY GIRL FIREFLY WHERE IS SHE
she's a four star right. RIGHT.
in all seriousness, I know there's a couple of people out there who were waiting for him! I'm glad they got what they wanted, even if it means we're unfortunately fireflyless for longer. with robin releasing we may get more information on how they're alive at least! we can still hope for firefly content within the story <- MASSIVE copium
see also: there's no way I could afford both robin and firefly as 5*s in the same patch. I can wait patiently in my padded cell a little longer
