── ᡣ𐭩 MILESTONE EVENT : SPECTRUM OF LOVE
𓆩♡𓆪 FOREWORD AND GUIDELINES
-; ੈ♡˳ In celebration of us becoming a coalition of four thousand simps, I'd like to introduce everyone to this event. I really wanted to do something special and ordered instead of a freestyle request taking one. The Arabic language has some very nuanced words for love and honestly, they scratch my brain just right. I'm not a native speaker but I tried my best to understand their essence! Thank you everyone for all the support you've shown me the past few years. I hope you enjoy this little event<3
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Please pick a word from the following section and send me an ask in this format — [ Word ] + [ Character Name ]. Example : Al Hawa + Alhaitham.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 These prompts will be written as an exploration of how the characters would behave, how they'd advance to that stage and little quirks for that particular stage of love and will include an interaction.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 One slot per person please, as there are only fourteen slots. I'll have to not take the request if someone violates this rule.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 The Reader will stay gender neutral for everyone's enjoyment.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 You can add any message or tidbits of brainrot in your ask!
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Anonymous requests are allowed. But do be careful to not pull any tricks.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 In the case that one prompt has been requested by multiple people, the first person that'd requested it will be prioritized.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 When a prompt has been accepted, I'll add the character that's been paired to it in the masterlist to indicate that.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Please check the list of characters I write for in Honkai : Star Rail and Genshin Impact before putting in a request. For this event, my interest in writing for everyone from that list is equal!
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Exclusively for this event, I'll also be writing for Caleb, Sylus and Rafayel from Love and Deepspace and Hero X from To Be Hero X!
𓆩♡𓆪 THE SPECTRUM
❝ Al Hawa — Attraction ❞
The first degree of love is like the wind ; it is unavoidable, it is felt and it can rise or fall. It brings with it a seed. Countless questions whirl past. But can any of them be answered?
❝ Al Alaqah — Attachment ❞
A sapling has emerged. Their hearts are hands reaching out, fingertips halting a breath away from contact. Their eyes chase after your shadow, studying and remembering its every curve.
❝ Al Kalaf — Infatuation ❞
From a touch to a hold — the sapling has spread its roots. An ache fills the hollow of your absence ; intensifying, intensifying, intensifying.
❝ Al Ishq — Desire ❞
Desire stems from infatuation and begets passion. It canopies their vision like black mist — will they wave it away or will they let it engulf them?
❝ Al Sha’af — Passion ❞
Passion shall soothe the pain, ameliorate the cracks and keep the plant of your love standing against tumultuous storms. But it is still treacherous, rebellious.
❝ Al Najwa — Heartburn ❞
The flame of passion has engulfed them. Each moment apart burns away at their heart.
❝ Al Shawq — Longing ❞
But is it okay to yearn access to every breath and blink of yours? They question and reflect, drench themselves in guilt and yet, at the end of the day, return to you.
❝ Al Shaghaf — Affliction ❞
A most vicious sickness has sunk its talons into their skin, the fog of that poison blankets their mind. Will the thorns prick the same petals they'd sworn to protect?
❝ Al Jawaa — Grief ❞
Untamed affliction will invite destruction, grief will follow its course. Will they choose to move on or refuse to let go?
❝ Al Taym — Enslavement ❞
A cage is set around that plant. Their love has binded them in place, they're mere slaves to your smiles. Utterly fascinated by the way it consumes them whole.
❝ Al Istikana — Submission ❞
The plant no longer dreams of escaping the gilded enclosure. No, it spreads its vines and engulfs the bars of the cage, tender leaves whispering soothing nothings.
❝ Al Tabl — Malady ❞
The plant's grasp only tightens more and more. But there is still a gap of salvation. Will they choose to utilize it?
❝ Al Tadleeh — Disorder ❞
The plant rejects sustenance and neither allows the cage to be free from its shackles. For it, to live now is to live for that cage.
❝ Al Huyum — Insanity ❞
The ultimate price for love is madness. The slightest separation shall no longer reward an ache of longing, no, no. It will feast upon their last specks of reason and drive them towards their demise.

Just had a dream, idrk the exact reason why i had it but basically a friend of mine died in my dream and the dream itself revolved around that. There were even insta stories about their death and it felt so... real.
At first i was like "Was it real? Did they actually die?" I felt so hurt and it took me a while to realise that oh yeah, they're dead, i can't contact them. I was crying in the dream for a while before i woke up and had to convince myself that it was all a dream.
But yeah i cried too when i woke up lol, anw i checked insta and god, i swear, i was so relieved they were all okay since they made a story.
#reli-rambles#it felt so real#like i could feel the sorrow the emptiness and everything#it was so out of nowhere too#just a small message saying they died#and i had to accept i can't ever meet them again (in the dream)#i think i know the reason why i had this dream haha;;; my parents were talking abt someone's death the other day and i read smth too#basically “if you love smth more than god. god will take it away from you” and yes that saying is supposed to be abt things and not ppl#ig it struck me a lil hard esp since i just lost a ring i cherished (in total it's now 2 rings)#so yeaaaaaaa that's it for today's ramble lmao

Getting a lil too silly and had to ss this

HARMONY MENTION ‼️‼️‼️
— On Phainon's debating skills and the brilliance of the Citizens' Assembly scene in showcasing his character development.
In response to @stickyspeckledlight ’s questions. I've been a regular academic debater for about six years now so, I can't put into words how special Phainon being a debater (and such a good one at that, which we'll get to shortly) is to me. So thank you for giving me the chance to properly yap about this. My original reblog got too long so I had to make a separate post orz. Explanation includes spoilers for HSR 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 Trailblaze quests.
To be honest, listening to that debate for the first time was incredibly nerve wracking for me. It was, as you say, a gamble and it could've gone horribly wrong anywhere.
When you accept that debates are like performances, it becomes easier to follow and bend the rules. As well as to have fun. This is something that Anaxa — our Great Performer — understands very well. I bring Anaxa up because I'm pretty sure it was him who taught Phainon this tactic, as mentioned by Phainon in the 3.3 quest, “In the end I remembered a lesson from one of my teachers: In battles where words are weapons, outrage and blind passion often overpower reason.”
Something crucial to realize about debates is that, they're less of this rigid exchange of counterarguments and more of a performance. Sure, the validity of your logic matters but, you're also graded on auxiliary things like body language, eye contact, enunciation, idiolect, fluency, manners and how well you can keep your audience hooked.
It is often said that how you make your point matters more than the point itself — because, even the judges won't be listening keenly to what facts and data you're presenting sometimes.
Anaxa also says something similar before casting his vote, “You've done well, Phainon. Given the circumstances, delivering a rousing speech to stir up emotions was a prudent move.”
This isn't all made up for the sake of creating drama by the way. I've seen this tactic being used in parliamentary debates, at least in my country. The goal is to stir emotions among your audience (including the judges/jury) in the hopes of securing support, doesn't matter if it's sympathy, rage or something else. This should be in harmony with your logic.
The difference is that Aglaea, quite understandably weary from their schemes after all these years, did so in the heat of the moment. While Phainon purposefully used that word and then proceeded to lay out exactly why those people are deserving of being called vermin.
It's... fascinating to watch when executed smoothly. Personally though, this tactic peeves me because, often it's used to divert attention from the fact that your argument isn't strong. It can also feel like an insult to the motion. And straight up calling your opponent irrational/overly emotional in response is classless and can even have your score deducted (which is why I mentioned manners as a criteria). So, you really need to be careful with how you respond to that.
Which brings us to the matter of Phainon calling the Council of Elders “vermin”.
I will not lie, it was incredibly satisfying. But that satisfaction of mine lasted for one glorious second before I became worried. It was the biggest gamble of the entire ordeal. As we later learn in Aglaea's letter to Phainon in 3.3 that a similar call-out gravelly weakened people's faith in Aglaea during the first debate.
There is a hope placed behind this approach ; even if it upsets a large group of people, it'll leave an impression. And from that impression, people will subconsciously start to think. They'll compare Phainon's argument with their own experiences and from there on, the chances of them voting for the Flame Chase will increase slightly.
The greatest challenge of that arena was the fact that Phainon had to deal with a huge crowd. Making sure they're listening to you is one thing (which he did splendidly by the way) but, getting them to think, in the heat of the collective influence? That is infinitely more difficult. Which is why I concur with Anaxa, using this tactic for this situation, was indeed a prudent move.
See, Phainon doesn't really trust himself. And his lack of trust in himself unknowingly contributes to his doubt in others. Why? Because when you can't trust yourself, you'll constantly second guess your choices and your potential. You won't be able to believe it even if the people you look up to compliment you. As such, you won't be sure about your decision to lend your trust to someone.
There is another important development in Phainon's character that blossoms through this debate. The quality of Phainon that Aglaea has always complimented him on is his ability to sincerely connect with everyone in a way that she can't. However, this was also the quality that he'd struggled to wield.
Which is why, there is so much emphasis on Phainon vocalizing ‘unshakable faith’, and resolutely trusting his comrades and the people of Amphoreus in 3.3 instead of him gaining new powers or something.
That quality is what makes him worthy of World-bearing, separates him from other heroes and brings him closer to the image of Deliverer envisioned by everyone. We see glimpses of him starting to understand this during the debate.
This is an excellent opening. The words used are simple, echo easily and do not clash with each other. They include the audience, acknowledge their attention and establish a primary connection between the speaker and the audience all in one sentence.
First of all, the beginning. “As you (citizens of Okhema) look upon me, so too do I see you.”
Then, he stops people from thinking about the fate of the world and implores them to really think about the gravity of their situation. But he doesn't just explain why the Black Tide is dangerous, no no. He talks about his own, personal experience with the Black Tide, baring his heart, for the very first time in front of so many people.
The strongest connections are forged in shared vulnerability. Even if people can't empathize or offer sympathy for him, they'll still be reminded of their own experiences, or perhaps the experience of someone they know. Strengthening the primary connection.
When a citizen objects to this bg asking why Okhema still remains peaceful, it's as if Phainon had been expecting that question. He uses it to not only defend Aglaea but to also present the corruption within Okhema and to drop that bomb.
It should be mentioned that Phainon does not include mind blowing new information in his speech, he only reiterates the truth that most citizens had forgotten in a concise manner.
The tonal shifts throughout the speech is perfect as well. He starts slow, lets people adjust to his voice and until that citizen poses that question, maintains an empathetic tone. He's goes from reminiscent to distraught when mentioning his past but does not break into tears. The frustration and the disdain when he talks about the Council of Elders isn't out of control, even if it may seem like he was momentarily swept up in those emotions. As he was able to circle back to the tone he used in the beginning to close his argument.
And he closes his speech with great humility. It's obvious that Phainon really thought it through and had a mental roadmap of his speech (since we can clearly divide it into sections) but, I don't know why, perhaps it's the voice acting on this section, I felt like the ending was improvised by him.
As in, you get this feeling that he finally understood what exactly his role was within the debate and changed his closing to that of a promise at the nick of time. Not to mention the roundabout way Phainon asks Anaxa this question before he steps onto the stage, “Is Aglaea making the right decision by entrusting the fate of the world to me?”
To which Anaxa answers, “Flip your perspective and ask yourself this instead: What should I do to ensure that the world doesn't stray from the correct path?”
And Phainon does figure out what he should do, which isn't wrestling with words to gain votes by the way. It's having the backbone to trust the people he'll lead. And I think you can feel this shift in thinking within the speech itself.
This whole performance was incredibly difficult to execute for Phainon, not only due to the dire circumstances but also because I suspect that this isn't his usual style. We have some crumbs about how Phainon performs in academic debates from memory fragments.
But of course, this doesn't work like magic against all of those people, as the number of votes received by both sides were equal until Anaxa broke the impasse — which I think is very realistic. Had Phainon not taken the risk, the Flame Chase would've most likely seen a shameful defeat.

As you can see, he's very quick to catch loopholes and traps, he's also not reckless and does not hesitate to play it safe if he has to.
But in the debate against the Council of Elders, he had to be reckless and he couldn't play it safe. He was out of his comfort zone in more ways than one and yet, he managed to perform excellently. This showcases the versatility of Phainon's character that was only mentioned by a select few thus far.
In conclusion, Phainon is an excellent debater, orator and public speaker precisely because of this flexibility of his.
Honestly, we must applaud the writing team, translation team and the voice of Phainon (I've only listened to the English voice-over so I'm unsure if all these subtleties are still observable in other languages) for bringing this scene to life. Especially with such limited movement and facial expressions. Even I didn't know there was so much to talk about until I began writing this.
#reli-reblogs#THAT WAS A FUN READ!!!#i may not have been playing hsr so my opinion could be wrong or eh BUT THAT WAS REALLY GOOD#i love when harmy psychoanalyze things 😔🫶#and dw i think it all makes perfect sense#harmy's way of explaining it too feels like a beautifully wrapped gift yippeeee#all in all this was so fun to read in the morning after i woke up lmao#MORE TO HARMY'S PSYCHOANALYSIS PLEEK 🔥🔥🔥
