GANG… 2.0 WUWA…. HEAR ME OUT… BRANT…

Listen… I only just started playing… but jeez this guy is like a combination of pirate mixed with theater kid mixed with poetry mixed with a majestic outfit..

And the ONLY MALE CHARACTER whose drip market for 2.0 was released…

I NEED him to be released ASAP. Like NOW.

my thoughts of sunday… as a nameless?

i can only imagine if sunday joins the nameless, part of the pros would be he could move on from the past and influences of the order. what i can’t imagine is why or how.

it felt like it was implied in one of the dialogue by the trailblazer that the astral express could get another member, so that there’d be two groups playing celestial jade.

so if sunday is this supposed next nameless, how? why? when? maybe the crew might forgive him after betraying the family? or maybe there might be a small grudge they carry?

either way, i’m taking the leak with a grain of salt, since im still hoping he’d join the stellaron hunters…

seriously am enjoying the new wuthering waves update. i mainly play on mobile, and i can tell by performance alone that there have been significant improvements for optimization! before, i had to play on the lowest graphical settings, but now i can play with high quality graphics without my phone overheating or lagging!!

jinshi, please come home…!

im scared for art fight…

i don’t know why i’m scared, maybe it’s because it’s literally my first time and i have a goal of at least six attacks

like like “what if my art is not good enough” and i have to remind myself of the cake analogy

[danisdistant]

it’s crazy comparing my art now to like a year ago, because you can tell how much i’ve improved since then after i’ve started to draw more often.

that being said, comparing my work to others show me that i still have a lot of room for improvement.. it really made me wonder if i’m even ready to open commissions, even though it’s been something i’ve been wanting to do for MONTHS now.

i hope to get better even more in the next coming months, at least a little at a time <33

oh here’s me trying to figure out how to draw boots of my character by the way :sob:

this does have me wondering, how do people know they’re ready to take on commissions?

[danisdistant]

guys. how can i stop bots from spamming comments asking for art commissions…

i KNOW these are bots… because they keep commenting the same stuff on other art posts almost as soon as they’re posted..

maybe when i open up commissions, i should put a rule where you have to contact ME to commission me instead of me reaching out to YOU

as someone who stuck with genshin, there have also been a lot of issues with the writing in natlan. sumeru and fontaine (the last two regions) had really good storylines, but also the characters were great. though fontaine did have a random banner with a character that is so forgettable it's unreal I genuinely forget she exists. but that's whatever man.

anyway back to the point, natlan, the current region has had pretty boring ass writing and the most boring archon who has no flaws and is perfect. and then to top it all off it has the whitest characters in a region based on areas of the world with populations of people who are not white. oh but there are like, what, two slightly tan characters? yeah. there are actually a lot of darker npcs, at least, but. that's all they are. npcs. like it's an improvement over sumeru also being extremely pale except for only like two npcs. like where are the playable characters that aren't just slightly tan? oh right, because the main fanbase is racist af and will riot over it. (the hoyo app, hoyolab is full of racists throwing tantrums over posts where artists redesign the characters to have darker skintones. it's ridiculous. hoyo doesn't do jackshit about it.)

but yeah the characters in sumeru and fontaine had a lot of depth, but the ones in natlan are pretty flat and it's disappointing. the one character that was actually interesting? yeah they decided to kill him off instead of making him a playable character. (there are debates in the fandom as to whether he's actually fully dead like he'll get released later but for now I'm going to assume he's Dead dead because of the focus hoyo has had on pushing out female characters.)

honestly, i feel like the game has been gradually declining since natlan. i’ve played up until the end of fontaine and called quits because of the lack of diversity in natlan even before it released. i’ve seen a lot of the fanbase and their racism while another side of genshin’s fanbase is a stark difference with trying to call for diversity, which didn’t really do much unfortunately.

for wuwa and it’s latest region with rinascita, i feel so much more immersed in the story, characters, and nation because of how diverse it feels from the previous nation. and seeing as to how its game devs have been taking in feedback and actually implementing it in the game, i hope they see the failure with how genshin has shown “diversity” with their nations and improve upon that.
