Hey guys are we ready for my next post it’s called “I don’t think Sunday muddy Sunday was that bad”

[bhnsby]

Key piece of flanderistation or whatever you wanna call what happened in AS was is the voices. I could yap all I want about this however I’d rather use physical proof so here take this.

I may just be going crazy and no one else can hear this but. I need to enlighten people. This is also genuinely one of my biggest AS pet peeves as like half of the characters sound insufferable.

Also this took me too long if it’s flops. I’m killing myself.

much love to ‘i love my blorbo but they did all that’ but there should be a new category of ‘i love my blorbo but they were written by someone with transparent but unspoken biases and you gotta understand that context’

Never gotten engagement from a fandom like I did with tdi and I think it’s because I’m too opinionated and when it came to tdi a lot of people seemed to agree with me but anywhere else people either don’t give a fuck about my opinions on something that no one else cares about or hate me for my opinions and want me dead like I really can’t lie to you I miss the tdi fandom

Hsr prioritising meta and power creep over well written characters* makes me sad but reminds me how people will pay no matter what, and that if anything they’re losing money.

I have never spent on a gacha game before hsr but caved and spent money to get boothill on like my 3rd day of playing. I didn’t get him because he’s meta, I didn’t get him to sweep through early game and end game content, I didn’t get him because of any gameplay reasons. I installed, and subsequently spent money purely because of him. His character. Everything about him writing wise made me spend from his back story, design, voice acting. Him as a character was what made me spend.

And it made me think about how I just can’t get connected to the Amphoreus cast at all. In contrast to the penacony cast.

There was one part in the Amphoreus story where you could either say goodbye to either firefly or Kafka. For a bit of context, firefly is my second favourite character. And when I was given this choice, the logical decision is Kafka. Kafka holds more narrative weight in regard to the scene and what she could’ve said and I would’ve gotten more out of talking to her. Yet I couldn’t in good faith choose her over firefly. As much as I wanted to know what Kafka would say I chose firefly because she was my favourite, and I knew I would do a disservice to myself in talking to someone who would potentially enhance the story over someone that I preferred. I know it’s a small instance but this made me realise what works with hsr. The characters are all well written, the story is impactful but they keep needing to one up themselves in meta and therefore making money. But at the end of the day, like me with firefly and kafka, people choose what they love over what should be better, and in result more people will be spending on characters they love over what’s the best new unit.

I know this post is stupid but I wanted to retell this experience I had and how I feel it relates to the current situation of hsr.

*ALSO I’m aware that a lot of people like Amphoreus and the characters I’m talking generally here.

Certain characters have such appealing designs to me I just wanna eat and ingest them like yes Dr Ratios design is great yes I want to snort him like a line of cocaine.

[bhnsby]

There is a thing that makes Dr. Ratio fundamentally different from most other characters and puts him into a special little category that arguably also includes Black Swan (and maybe Sparkle to a lesser extent).

The thing is that they don't exist "inside" the story but rather "above" or "outside" of it. They appear wherever they want, and they just know things.

(And what a coincidence that both he and BS were shown to be some of the first people who woke up from Ena's dream. But it kind of looks like maybe they weren't affected by it at all, existing "outside" the story)

And while BS is a powerful and mysterious memokeeper, what's Mr. "Normal Mundane Person"'s excuse? (let's face it, it's probably "because the things we want to happen wouldn't have happened otherwise," and "just don't think about it," and "he's just smart and mysterious, deal with it.")

And for a guy literally called "Truth," he has an interesting relationship with truth and knowledge. Namely, he doesn't seem to seek it, probably because he seems to already inexplicably know everything there is to know, including but not limited to: Ruan Mei's bug, the fact that she "employed" us to deal with it, Duke Inferno's plans concerning Herta's station, the information about Ruan Mei's lost Phase Flame, knowledge of how to use it to teleport himself and others, the true nature of Something Unto Death, and so on (and TVTropes has a whole list of the things he seemingly predicted) .

He had his "Doctor's Advice" prepared in advance (and I don't think the plan they discussed and agreed on included Aventurine ending up inside a black hole, desperate and depressed so much that only an encouragement from a friend would save him from ending it all for good.)

Even when helping Screwllum with the Divergent Universe, he didn't actually seem interested in the results of the research. He just helped Screwllum with it a bit, gave him a new idea of how to approach this study, and then seemingly removed himself from the project completely.

What made me write this is that I finally started version 3.2 story. I've heard people saying that Anaxa is basically Ratio 2.0 (mixed with Aventurine). And I'm glad to say that it doesn't seem that bad, at least for now. There are definitely some puzzling surface-level similarities, but it made me realize one of their main differences. Anaxa operates inside of the constraints set by the story, alongside with all the others.

BTW this is why it would be very in character for Dr. Ratio if the Bug from version 3.0 weren't a bug. If he were to get involved, he absolutely would just stand there contemplating without any explanation of how he got there, and how does he even know about Amphoreus.
