More Honkai Star Rail Characters as Random Things I've Done/Do

Sunday: must wear shoes to be productive with anything that requires me to stand up, the shoes cannot be taken off unless I don't have anything planned.

Welt: yes, I have 793827739 fanfic au ideas in my brain. No, they will not be used for their intended purpose. You're gonna sit there and watch me assimilate them into my giant fantasy world.

Serval: go to dance move for when I have to dance in front of people is gentle to aggressive headbanging depending on the song.

Seele: that one time I had to take a queen sized foam thing down the stairs when I was like eight and it was easily three times my size probably more and it was unraveling the whole time and instead of accepting my sisters' offers for help I said "NO! I GOT THIS!" and it turns out I did in fact got this it just took a while

Bronya: simultaneously hates children and loves children. I will happily watch your kid for you, please don't make me do it for an extended period of time tho I'll die inside.

Fu Xuan: tendency to be a bit condescending when explaining certain topics before I go "wait, shit, this ain't easy for everyone. Ah fuck, now they probably feel like shit."

Hook: owns sparkly high tops with light up soles + laces (they glow bright enough for me to be my own light show even in daylight) that also have multiple chains that make a lot of jingle noises just so that my friends and family don't lose my short ass in crowds

Luka: forgets to brush hair for a week or so, finally brushes it out, gets impatient while brushing it out, ends up with very frizzy hair because of said impatience, and just ties it up cause I've already ran out of patience

In light of today's results, I would like to let everyone who sees this know that if you need somewhere to rant/vent/talk you can feel free to send it all to me. I can't promise I'll be able to respond in a timely manner, but I will be there as soon as I see the notification and have time to sit down and read it. If you'd prefer to just scream into a void, I have another account (@friendlyneighbornerd) and I will purposefully not be checking any notifications on it.

Remember, this will be Trump's final four years. This is not the end. Yeah, it's going to fucking suck, but once these four years are over we're not going to have to have him as president ever again. We just have to hold out for four years, then will have a solid chance at improvement. If you need something to motivate you to keep going during these four years, try spite and love for others. Try to be so obviously thriving that your existence alone is both a giant middle finger to those happy about today's results and a beacon of hope to those who aren't. You don't have to force a smile or pretend things are fine when they're not. You just need to keep going, keep putting one foot in front of the other. Change begins with the steps we take towards it.

As a lovely woman (I'll add her name/user to this post if I can find her again) said last night while watching the live results update, you can always try getting involved in your local politics as it all begins on a local level anyway.

That all being said, to everyone reading this: I love you all! I love you so much! We're all going to be okay, even if we aren't right now. The Earth is going to keep spinning, the sunsets will keep coming, the moon will still be in the sky each night, the tides will still come in, the animals will keep living, the plants are still growing; this is not over just because things look real shitty. There's always tomorrow, so we just have to do our best to make tomorrow better than today, even if that progress is barely noticeable.

[friendlyneighbornerd]

Hey everybody, wanted to get this post on this account too as it is the one that gets more attention. If you want to just scream into a void, send it all to this account. If you want an actual response, go to berry-bees. As I said in the original post, I can't promise I'll respond in a timely manner, but I will do my best to respond to any messages received by the berry-bees account.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honkai Star Rail characters as random things I've done/do

Jing Yuan: always has at least one of the open tabs on my computer be a picture of a kitten for morale

Guinaifen: says "I may be cringe, but I am free." every time I remember something stupid or embarrassing I've done

Gepard: aggressively zips up my boots like 17 different times until they both have the exact same level of tightness

Moze: taught myself to laugh silently and accidentally caused my actual laugh to start sounding like a higher than a kite dolphin is being strangled with an extension cord in the process

Yanqing: fell off a scooter and face planted into concrete tearing like half the skin off my nose the week of picture day

Robin: somehow dances with significantly more confidence when in front of the bathroom mirror with the lights off for no explainable reason

Sampo: keeps a big ass bag of gummy bears in my room as an emergency dopamine boost

Dan Heng: actually pretty smart until I have to write more than a single word on a topic that the Council of Neurodivergence has not yet approved

Boothill: "Yeah, I'll make note of that." *actually despises taking notes with a burning passion and definitely did not make note of that*

Argenti: keep trying to convince my mom that the hole in the ceiling is a masterpiece and should be framed because it's been like ten years and now I'm emotionally attached to it

March 7th: unironically likes the shirts with the stupid phrases or jokes written on them (i.e. "I believe in you, but I also believe in Bigfoot, so don't get your hopes up.", "I paused my game to be here.")

Yunli: had to teach myself how to give someone a well meaning compliment without accidentally making it a back handed compliment "I know my standards are low, but this cake is pretty good!"

[friendlyneighbornerd]

you know I've seen a lot of hero/villain dynamic tropes be talked about and why is it always romantic, comedy or child soldier??? I wanna see a hero/villain dynamic that's totally platonic, not solely for comedy, AND isn't the child soldier thing (though I will always eat up "villain takes in child soldier who was forced to fight by the government/people/prophecy/whatever")

can we get a hero/villain dynamic of two incredibly tired people who just want to make the world a better place in their own ways that eventually realize the world is a lost cause and instead focus on creating a place people can safely ride out the apocalypse???

can we get a hero/villain dynamic of a villain who does evil because they've never seen good in the world and a hero who notices this and decides to drag the villain around to see the parts of world that are worth saving???

can we get a hero/villain dynamic of a hero who knows society is full of shit, who knows the government doesn't have people's best interest at heart, who knows everyone they fight for are assholes, but fights anyway because they can't see how anyone would show anymore care for them than they do and a villain who basically becomes the hero's platonic soulmate and showers them with all the love and care they never got???

MORE PLATONIC HERO/VILLIAN DYNAMICS THAT AREN'T PARENTAL DAMMIT

do you ever realize months after something happened that it'd make a lovely answer for "tell me about yourself"

anyway if I had a nickel for every time a random old lady with a cane almost died right next to me and my sister during an outdoor event while we were eating and we just stood there like O-O in the summer of 2023 I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[my-castles-crumbling]

reblog and I'll inbox you the first song I think of when I look at your blog with absolutely no explanation.

You could do the same for me if you want?

[friendlyneighbornerd]

welcome to the chaos there is no theme or category just whatever my ADHD brain desires

Reblog is this is a safe space for the identities theses flags represent pls follow too

Hehehe I’m a demiboy <3

I got no clue what I'd actually be called but agender is the closest term I've found

M-M-M-MULTIKILL!

[what-if-doctor-who-was-yuri-yaoi]

[friendlyneighbornerd]

misspelt the word galaxy just now and honestly I'm now considering the idea of starting to call it a falazy instead because my little goblin brain thinks that's funny as shit

[friendlyneighbornerd]

Random thought:

how funny would it be if we took the playable character highest up in the justice system for each released nation (excluding archons) and had them all interact

this would mean Neuvillette for Fontaine, Cyno for Sumeru, Sara for Inazuma (I think she'd be the highest in the Inazuman justice system other than Raiden), Ninguangg for Liyue and Jean for Mondstadt

cause like I really wanna see those five interact

just imagining it I feel like it'd be very professional until Cyno eventually made a horrible pun (cause you know he's gonna do it at some point) the joke would probably get a chuckle out of Jean and maybe Ninguangg Neuvillette's gonna be wheezing whether it's because he genuinely found the joke funny or he's laughing at how bad it is we may never know (If you don't understand why go listen to Neuvillette's English About the Vision II) Poor Sara is gonna be standing there questioning the life choices that brought her to this hellscape and considering the potential consequences of decking the general mahamatra

[friendlyneighbornerd]

I've gotten my missing assignments done so expect Wriothesley as Childe's dad au content sometime soon (If I remember) until then enjoy my guesses at Fontaine character's love languages

Neuvillette: 100% physical affection you cannot convince me otherwise

Furina: This girl is blushing screaming kicking her feet at words of affirmation

Navia: Definitely gift giving except majority of her gifts are home made snacks but like is that really a bad thing

Clorinde: Through process of elimination I've concluded that she's acts of service

Charlotte: I'd say quality time she seems like the type to feel the most loved when hanging out whether in silence or actually talking

Wriothesley: He could go a few ways like he's either words of affirmation acts of service or quality time and imma go with acts of service here

Sigewinne: I want to say gift giving no actually it's gift giving it's absolutely gift giving

Lyney: Words of affirmation are you kidding what else could he possible be

Lynette: She's kind of hard to pin down but I'd guess she's quality time but like sitting in comfortable silence quality time

Freminet: Gift giving don't ask me how I know I just know this man would get so happy if he was given a pretty shell or something (Physical affection is a close second tho)

hopefully I didn't forget somebody lol

[friendlyneighbornerd]

Fun Fact: If you keep making au's of au's eventually you'll have an entirely new story and cast of characters

(I'll get around to the Wriothesley adopting Childe au content once I get through my 61 missing assignments and yes the total is 61 I counted)

[friendlyneighbornerd]

Does anyone else wish there was content of an AU where Childe didn't get spat back out in Snezhnaya when he escaped the Abyss but instead he was spat out in Fontaine being taken in by Wriothesley and ending up working in the Fortress of Meropide? No? Just me? Fine I'll do it myself once I have the dopamine

(But like if someone wants to borrow this idea go ahead just make sure to credit me)

[almond-tofu-chan]

Okay I get that it’s super cute that Gepard uses Serval’s guitar case in battle, but also ?????

How exactly did that?? Happen?? Like ignoring the obvious fact that a guitar case is a bad weapon and also Serval’s guitar is FUCKING huge, why???

I’m just picturing little baby Gepard like training to join the Guard and hauling around this absolutely ginormous guitar case and nobody bats an eye because obviously his sister fights with the LITERAL GUITAR that the case is for so sure this isn’t That Weird

Like he HAS to have another weapon right?? Like a sword or claymore or something??

Also like did Serval let him do this? How did that interaction go?

Gepard: Hey sis can I borrow your guitar case?

Serval: yeah, for what?

Gepard: …

Serval: For What??

This man is the absolute funniest man in the game and absolutely not On Purpose

[friendlyneighbornerd]

Now you see it's quite a large object just add some steel to the outside and put something heavy inside and boom you got yourself a fully functional weapon for bludgeoning people to death

[spooky-mister]

Welcome back to my trash thoughts on We Can Be Heroes.

When I first saw the cast list and read Christian Slater's character name was Tech-No, I immediately got the impression that he was a villain. Tech-No sounds like a supervillain name, right? I'm not an idiot?

So I propose an alternate universe where Tech-No is a reformed supervillain whom Marcus insisted would be more use to the Heroics alive.

Going one step further in this AU, perhaps Wild Card was the product of Tech-No's final plan as a villain. Creating or engineering a child possessing every power imaginable using your superhuman intellect with the intention of pitting him up against the Heroics sounds like an interesting if not dark villain plan. But then it failed because Wild Card can't control his abilities.

Maybe as soon as they got him to agree to help the Heroics, Marcus paired him with Miracle Guy because he knew that if Tech went rogue, the strongest Heroic would be their best chance of holding him back.

Andthat'swhenMiracleandTechstartedtobondandi'llstopnow

I don't know - this is just an AU I have rattling around in my brain because Tech being a super intelligent villain in his past would be cool~

[friendlyneighbornerd]

If you think about it this could make Wildcard finally being able to use his powers very bittersweet: yeah he can finally live up to everyone's expectations of him but he also has now finished all the preparation required for what would've been his dad's final scheme as a villain

[friendlyneighbornerd]

Horrible Cooking Show Idea:

It's just like most other cooking shows except all the judges are autistic and the contestants weren't informed of the judges safe foods or food-icks so it goes like a normal cooking show until it's time to judge the food and you have to thoroughly explain everything done to make the food and the scoring system is like: Judge refuses to even try the food = 0 points, Judge takes one bite = 1 point and Judge goes in for a second bite = 2 points you can get points from each judge and whoever's dish got the most points for that round wins, second most points second place so on so forth so it's just a bunch of chef's frantically trying to guess the judge's safe food's only to have them not even try it cause they can't do the texture of avocado or something

[friendlyneighbornerd]

Since as far as we know gorgons can only be born female Deuce is trans but Viperine is also trans because she lacks the snake hair (the lil headband thingy doesn't count) which would imply she's actually a different humanoid snake like monster (It's name escapes me at the moment and I can't find it online but I'm like 99% sure it started with mae and had a y or k somewhere) they are closely related to gorgons yet lack the snake like hair and instead of being exclusively born female are all born male they also lack the petrifying gaze (Which would explain why Viperine's glasses are no where near as tinted as Deuce's) and instead of the petrification have enhanced strength

In conclusion both Deuce and Viperine are canonically trans by Greek mythology logic thank you for your time
