I hope that in another 4 years, hoyoverse releases the 30th draft of the flamechasers' story

#hsr #honkai star rail #altho tbh. i think amphoreas is already as good as it can get #hi3's iteration had some parts glossed over #some parts that hit less hard than they otherwise would hv bc of the format #and of course having to force-fit pre-existing PE characters #the way every amphoreas character was key for the plot development and that many had crucial thematic ties #is craaazy #amphoreas was so tightly woven its insane #i know the writers spent the years since hi3's flamechase journey just thinking abt it and reworking it #to the point of tearing down some chars to essentially new ones #its so good.... like. pardo and cipher clearly both follow the path of elation in a sense bc theyre ostensibly whimsical and all that #and their cores abt wanting to be heros somehow are the same #but theyre VERY different people #cyrene also really grew into herself #while clearly carrying all of elysia's core themes. and all the same msgs that the hi3 writers originally wanted to impart to us

holy NINE substats, what terrible things am i feeding my HMC 😭

#mimin plays hsr #thats one of the cores of my budget break team?!?!????

when the support overlap situation is so bad that your monorem team has neither cyrene nor RMC and can't even be called monorem anymore

i finished 4.3. mama i'm so scared

#hsr 4.3 spoilers #spoilers in tags #this version was too short wtf #it feels like it shldve been a blade +himeko patch?#i also kind of hated the pov switching all the time honestly like bro can u j stick to one impeding disaster #now i feel like i need a recap #anw the asat pramad loredrop was great #and graphia #anw everything boils back to the destruction and once-was trailblaze omfg #(i love it)#i love that the hsr world clearly has so much history from before TB's time #there were heroes of the past that fought so that TB could hv their current battlefield #and they did not not knowing who would come after them #(j like the first flamechase and seloise in amphoreus!)

i hate that in the hsr fandom, "clearing" a stage means 0-cycling it. you already have an unambiguous phrase for that, can you leave the phrase "clearing" for us poor people who just want to 0* defeat the boss

#hsr #honkai star rail

i keep wondering why people are so hyped up by sp blade's meta capabilities, until i remember that my favourite DPSes are phainon (kicks blade out of the field, preferably permanently) and mydei (anti-syngery with blade's taunt)

#mimin plays hsr

i'm really thankful that i experienced amphoreus live, and one reason is that i, like many others, got the live the phainon experience of becoming a mydei fan.

from "ugh who is this stereotypical muscly brawny fighter guy"/"ugh who is this half-naked showoff" to "🥺🥺🥺 mydei is the best. everyone should be looking up to mydei. mydei is so cute and beautiful and intelligent and caring and warm and he would make an excellent boss and also he's definitely one of the most handsome people in amphoreus". it's so embarassing going from hating your fave to being head over heels for your fave. but luckily for us we're never truly alone in this experience, because of course mydei's #1 fan phainon did it first.

thinking back to v3.0 when verax leo gave that riddle about "something that is cute/adored by everyone and never dies" and phainon says "mydei". i laughed so loud back then, but i really get it now phainon. of course it goes without saying that mydei is adorable and loved by all. and if that's not true, that's just presposterous and everybody should kick rocks

ok no spoilers please but i just can't wrap my head around the brimmed hatters' plan.

give a cute little girl with potential a picture book and a pen and the specific ink needed for magic, in obvious hopes that one day she realises you just need to draw the spells. lure her with pages and pages of benign spells, and then what?!?!?!!

and then slap a random LETHAL forbidden spell right in the middle of harmless spells?!?!?!?? 'the seed ive grown has started sprouting' the seed you planted nearly froze over the second it started growing!!!!! if qifrey hadn't connected the dots at that precise time and if he hadn't grabbed coco in time, she wouldn't have survived OR she might've still had her mom who would be a very strong reason for coco to never leave for an atelier in the first place. either they planted lots of 'seeds' everywhere and coco is just one of them (likely, since the merchant had multiple books), or they have some mild mind manipulation or strangehold over qifrey, or both

#mimin watches wha #like obviously qifrey is characterised as someone who has Personal Beef with the brimmed hatters #like he portrays himself as a v genial guy and i think he really is like that #but when it comes to those guys he just tosses it all out #all his previous convictions are gone #like idk its almost like. dangling a carrot in front of his nose and leading him arnd that way #but anw i think the big shots approving apprentices also hv beef w those brimmed hatters #bc otherwise why would qifrey be so confident that coco would be made an exception and be accepted even as an outsider #and the um. the other lady as well. saying 'well its the brimmed hat guys after all' (paraphrasing)#she mightve been talking more abt qifreys own personal motivations w that line tho idk #but anw if qifrey has personal exp w those guys (which he obviously does)#then i think the chances of him being magically manipulated are not zero #i mean we've been explictly told that magic manipulating the mind is forbidden #and guess which faction uses forbidden magic!! thats right!!!

i just started watching witch hat atelier and it's so stressful. qifrey keeps losing his children every other episode. he walks out of the room for a while and then his girls are in yet another life-threatening situation

#wha #witch hat atelier #mimin watches wha #i get the feeling that his girls dont normally get into situations like this #and its just a coco thing #and to be fair. she has a whole evil organisation out to get her so its not even a Her thing #like qifrey is way too carefree and trusting as someone who has three whole children #he got blessed w his first three being obedient or smthing and now the 4th is catching him off guard #thats the vibes im getting at least #bc he doesnt strike me as someone who is particularly irresponsible... i think?#maybe?#i feel like him leaving his kids unattended is an informed decision #informed by pre-coco data #i hope he ups his child security better after the dragon episode holy shit #coco has been here for like 3 nights only #as if she wasnt alr super traumatised BEFORE she arrived #the scene whr she looked up and saw everyone covered in dirt and she immediately collapses in herself... my heart broke :(

been half a month since phainon-cyrene's reruns were leaked and i still cant decide which to E2, i'm fuuuuucked

#to get the mechanic proof DPS or the support-sub DPS....#my heart says cyrene my brain and endgame performance says phainon

Okay this is better. E0 Phainon 5 cycles, E4 Welt 7 cycles

#hsr #sparkle makes the 2nd half rly comfy #but my dps welt build is sooooo slowww you really need sunday there to pull him up #ddd s5 on cerydra and ddds1 on sparkle #i tried swapping the ddds before bc i wanted sparkle to help w welt's spd issue #but uh. surviving sustainless in the 1st half is really tough!

the state of my hsr account: really dire

#wym my first go had 9 cycles left....#hsr

i love mydei so much... i was reading teambuilding posts on reddit and came across the sentence "mydei-cyrene teams often run sustainless, where his only healing is dying three times" and i laughed so hard.

that's indeed very "i can't die... but thanks" of mydei

#hsr #honkai star rail #hsr mydei

blade and silver wolf straight up calling the stellaron hunters their family and home 🥹🥹🥹

#IVE BEEN SLEEPING ON HSR LORE #EVERY FACTION IS SOOOO GOOOOD #thank you amphoreus for being the impetus for me reading up on the lore of the other factions #amphoreus legit such a gd arc like #actual narrative aside. the way it played its role in the overarching story is CRAZY #the way it ties it all together and SHOWS us that yes. all the planets youve visited before are all in the same universe #the ppl talk to each other and interstellar events do occur #and then planarcadia taking that even further by hving multiple factions we've met before all come together... yum

Given that Hoyo confirmed Phainon is an Emanator, and you can't just... Un- Emanator someone, I think that makes Jarlio-VI the only planet without a confirmed Emanator.

Xianzhou has the 7 generals (+ Luocha if he counts)

Penacony has the 4 Harmonic Strings, + Sunday for Order that one time

Amphoreus has Cyrene (MIA), and Phainon (and Evernight ig)

Planarcadia has Evanesica +Pearl + Sw999?

poor Belebog

You know that one Celestial Myriad trailer of the bad timeline where Irontomb materialises and attacks all the planets we've been in so far? For all the other planets I was like "oh man the battle is going to be brutal". For Belebog I was like "oh they're fucked, there's no way they're surviving this. They'll put up a fight sure, and out of all the planets I'm sure I'll be most moved by theirs, but they're definitely going to get wiped much faster"

Honestly I'm really interested in Belebog's thing of being much comparatively less developed than the rest of the planets in the known universe. Technologically and aesthetically speaking, Belebog is the closest to what we know irl -- no memoria, no fancy Xianzhou airships. It's cool to see how they try to "modernise", "catch up", or "fit in".

But also, Belebog does have Sampo protecting it. I dunno what's his deal but he'll definitely do everything in his power for Belebog. They also have Seele and her sea of butterflies, whatever that actually is.

i fear phaidei has beat every "they're so wholesome they love each other so much they're perfect together" ship for me. none of my previous OTPs with this trope even come close. i never imagined that any pairing could fit together so perfectly and be so completely in love with each other as phaidei is.

#hsr #phaidei #like mydei literally just exists and phainon finds some way to see some very attractive or admirable in him #thinking abt the '(breathy laughter) you are are a beast...' scene like PHAINON we're literally about to fight a GOD can you FOCUS #but no a portion of his brain is always devoted to admiring mydei i guess #or the way mydei phainon's flaws and loves him wholly anyway. its not a big deal for him #yeah he got killed 33mil times and he would do it again. mydei probably liked it too i dunno #like even if i dont take EN's choice of voicing it that way #i think even CN mydei would see khaslana's determination as something to love. its heroism to mydei #mydei literally got mad at irontomb for desecrating the body of a hero (phainon) man #like i dunno... reading phaidei fics always makes me feel so warm bc they love each other sm... nothing could tear them apart #couple that is literally never breaking up once they get together...#the only other kinds of OTPs i can have now are unhealthy ones ig #the ones that might do better with space apart but also they literally cannot be away from the other without imploding

the more i learn about hsr meta properly the worse things look, man.

Phainon needs to be E2 minimally to keep up with the current meta. And in his upcoming rerun, you would probably want more than just his E2 so that he can keep up with future meta until his next rerun. (Also, Phainon on release already needed his S1)

Streets say that Fugue is basically unuseable at E0 now, and E1 is being used now only because there isn't much better

If you want to use Cyrene past Amphoreus, you need her E2. It's not even really about the QoL with newer chars, it's just the sheer fact that the damage amp at E0 is not enough even for Ampho characters that she synergises best with.

The fact that every single characters needs multiple eidelons if you don't want to ditch them is really disheartening. It means you need to basically give up on entire regions' new characters if you don't want to abandon your fave. Even if you're a dolphin.

"It's always been meta or collection though--" Not if you're an old hi3 players it's not. I was F2P in hi3 and I could get virtually every S rank character and almost all their gear. Like yes, all battlesuits would fade into obscurity, but generally speaking they would be replaced by a shiny new version of that same character. I hate thinking that in HSR, I have to stick to an extremely outdated and weak gameplay if I want to actually still see my fave on screen.

#hsr #like idk hi3 was generally a much more relaxing experience for me lol #i did NOT have to minmax like this #you just slapped the best equipment you had on your characters #and at most swapped some equipment arnd bc you only had a few premium items #like idk for hi3 the equipment was a lot more interchangeable #yes the relics were premium and gacha but u didnt hv to refarm them for every single char #and u could use an ice item on another char no problem bc paths didnt exist. only weakness types #and eidelons basically didnt exist #like they did but i didnt bother w them lol bc each char would get a new SP eventually #and also i liked ALL of the core chars? so i was always playing a char i rly rly rly liked anw?#i didnt hv to ration my xtals out this much is what im saying....#in hi3 the signature weps were compulsory but in hsr ehhhh tbh theyre not #ig theyre the equivalent actually bc in hi3 the weps were MUCH less interchangeable than hsr LCs #actually no LCs arent rly interchangeable either LOL #basically hsr just a gajillion more things u need to spend resources on and the same number of ways for meta to ramp up #darn ittttt #yall gonna see me crashing out over the next month or so until phainon cyrene rerun istg #i wish it was mydeis rerun first...#id get his eidelons instead no question... which ig is what i shld actually be doing now lol #j suck it up w current endgames beating me up until i can get mydeis eidelons
