I wish there was an "easy" button I could push 😩😩 Just when it seems like things are going nice and steady, people start calling out left and right so I worked overtime twice, understaffed thrice, and on my day off 😭 then I got sick and now it's finally my weekend and I got pinkeye 😭😭 It has not been my week 😭😭😭

I didn't get a Wanderer constellation, but I've also just been too tired to sit down and play much. So I can't be too upset about losing a gamble I didn't even bet on 😅 Most days I get home and try to take a short nap, only to pass out and end up sleeping the rest of my day away 😮‍💨 I do wake up feeling pretty rested though 😗

It hasn't been all bad though. I've been bullying my older coworker. Not actual bullying, I just haven't been letting his ignorant comments slide any more 😂 Like when he'll try to excuse his own borderline racism by saying "yoU haVe To unDErstAnd, i'm FroM a DIFfEREnt tiMe. IT UsEd To Be OKay ThEN." 🙄🙄

And you've been living in THIS TIME just as long as the rest of us. The times changing isn't any kind of surprise. Is along the lines of what I say back. He's never a fan of my responses 😂 Usually my work motto is to try to get along with all my coworkers, but like... At some point enough is enough, right?

Anyways, moral of the story, I'm doing great 😂😂 There's a convention coming to my city soon and I made plans with my sister to go. Super excited! It'll be my first 🤩 She wants us to cosplay as people from "To Your Eternity"? Never watched it, but she was pretty decisive. I forget who she picked for us though 😂

Ooo! What an update. First off I'm sooo sorry about all the work stuff especially with the coworker... people can be so ignorant... I hope you're feeling better sick wise by now- and a convention sounds like fun! Your first time going? I hope you have a great time.

I haven't seen To Your Eternity but I've heard great things about it! I started watching the Cyberpunk anime and Frieren recently, otherwise haven't watched much new stuff lately. What about you?

It's been awhile since my ex and I split up, but I actually started seeing someone! So far it's going good, hopefully it stays that way 😅

My workplace's AC unit went bye bye... so we were closed for a bit while they put in a new one, but it turned out when we came back they weren't done, so that was a horrible time... but finally weeks later the new AC works! So I can't complain too much. Hope all is going well for you!

[shizu-yuuki]

I'm glad to hear things are settling down for you! Being grown really sucks some days 😑 Unfortunately easy doesn't seem to coincide with peaceful living as often as one might prefer... But that's yet another unavoidable part of existing 😂

I did a few 10 pulls for wanderer constellation and didn't get him 😭 At times like these it's probably for the best that I don't have much excess spending money because boy oh boy would I be throwing down a couple hundos for my husbandos 😂🤣

I DID END UP WITH C6 WANDERER- FINALLLYYY but I also got a tighnari constellation so I'm super excited about that.

I hope you're able to snag a wanderer con by the end of his banner!! I feel you on the no fun money part... I feel like I work so so much but actually am barely making ends meet, you know?

And yeah, life is just like that the majority of the time. Never really easy, and peace is so difficult to both find and maintain, but we are working on it. :)

Hope you're doing well! Happy to be chatting with you again after all this time ☆

[shizu-yuuki]

I was scrolling my dash today and thought "man, they haven't replied in a hot minute. Hopefully everything's okay." Then I had to stop and think. And I realized I never actually sent what I meant to! I feel quite dumb 😭😭

I'm doing just about as well as any other semi-sane 20 something year old with the usual sleeping problems can whilst working 48 hour weeks 😂😂 Ya know, there's a certain joy in working almost 10 hours more than your elderly coworker Every. Single. Week. And yet still being told by them that you're "ToO yOuNg tO bE TiReD." 🙄🙄😮‍💨

So how have you been? Hopefully things have settled down somewhat and are going fairly decent? Cosplaying always seems pretty fun, but I get too self-conscious to try it 😅 Do you make your own cosplays or do you just get the things you need? I'm so sure I didn't word that very well, but I know there are people who handmake a lot of their stuff, while there are others who get the already made pieces? Either way, it seems like fun 🤩

HEY!! long time again so sorry! my lifes been all over the place honestly... to answer the cosplay question I do a bit of both! I'm not confident enough to make full suits however I do enjoy making props and accessories for them, the clothing itself I'd order from somewhere I trust that can guarantee much better quality than I can lol. Works been insane for awhile and my home life went through some bumps, but now it's more peaceful and things are working themselves out.

Definitely feel your pain on the working part though, I always hear stupid comments like that whenever someone hears me mention that like, my back hurts, or my legs/arms are sore. Etc. People can be really ignorant :(

I hope you've been doing okay, I'll be around to respond a bit more now that things are going a bit better :) also super stoked because Wanderer's rerun in genshin is tmrw and I'm going for C6 💙

[shizu-yuuki]

Gosh damn, where are my manners? I've been the usual tired and overworked, but such is the joy of adulting and having bills to pay 😑

How have you been? I do hope you're having a decent whatever time of day it may be for you?

Qualidea Code isn't a very long series. It's one of those 12 episode ones. I enjoyed it, but I try not to hype things up too much 😅 It's usually on my list of recommendations though... Well, if you do decide to watch it, I hope you like it!

Hey!! It's been insane at like work and my life has been going through a lot of changes lately so I actually haven't been around on here or social media much at all recently. I hope you've been doing great tho!

I'll definitely take a look at Qualidea Code since you recommended me it, I'm sure it'll be awesome regardless. Wishing you the best 💖

I also bought a tripod recently, and once the weather lightens up a bit, I'm hoping to pick up cosplaying again!

[shizu-yuuki]

Oh. My. Glob. You cosplayed Law??? You're even more cultured than I thought 😆

I've yet to play the new quest. Mostly because the archon quests are always sooooo long my brain needs recharge breaks in between them 😂 They're also usually quite entertaining though, so once I hit my weekend I'll probably hop on it 😌 unfortunately I have the HoYoLAB app, so I've seen more than my ideal amount of spoilers 😔 but that's to be expected when it comes to any form of social media, isn't it? Especially on an app dedicated to discussing and sharing all things Hoyoverse 😂

On a random side note, have you ever watched "Qualidea Code"?

Oh goodness! Sorry that you've gotten all those spoilers already :< the archon quest was so emotional! But yes... lots of dialogue and long cinematic like scenes so it took a long time to finish it. I hope you enjoy it when you get to it!

Unfortunately I've never seen Qualidea Code, is this something I should definitely get into?? I'll consider it if you recommend me it :>

Hope you're doing well!

[shizu-yuuki]

Hi hi!!! How have you been? It's been a hot minute 😂 Who are you gonna cosplay? If you don't mind me asking, I mean 😅 Or did you already cosplay? I'm never really sure what qualifies as mid-month... Hopefully you had fun! Or have fun, if it hasn't happened yet 🤣

I got Wriothesley!!! Storywise, he has very quickly become one of my favorite characters 😍😍😍 I was gonna pull for Furina, but I did her trial and I dunno... I wasn't really vibing with her play style 😕 she's a cute character tho. Weird, but cute.

Hey!! I hope you've been well! The convention was super fun! Ran into some small mishaps but we worked it out. I cosplayed as Law from One Piece :)

Congrats on Wriothesley! He's quite fun, Furina is definitely interesting... my friends all pulled for her but I ended up skipping her banner. I'm super excited for Navia and Clorinde! Clorinde more so I've been saving for...

But the new archon quests! Oh my- I like Furina as a character definitely, playstyle not really my type I think though. Have you played the new quest already? Let me know what you think!

[shizu-yuuki]

I did two 10 pulls for Wriothesley and one of them was gold so I was super excited... But it was TIGHNARI 😭😭😭😭😭 Of all the 5-star characters, he is literally my LEAST favorite. Lyney might be a close second, but I like the magician and cards thing 😐

NOOOO that's so saddening! I've wanted tighnari for so long actually- out of all standards I was missing him and finally got him after losing 50/50 at the end of neuvi's banner!

I love lyney tho, makes me a little sad that c0 lyney trumps my c5 diluc but oh well HAHA he's a cutie.

I'll be at AnimeNYC mid November, gonna cosplay hehe :^) I hope you had a fun and safe halloween!

[shizu-yuuki]

I couldn't get him 😭😭😭💔💔 I've been so busy moving that I haven't had a chance to Genshin and grind, plus all my moneys went to 🤢 actual adulting stuff 🤢 so I can't even buy primogems to try for him 😭😭😭😭

Ah well, guess I just gotta wait for the rerun 😮‍💨 Did you see the new guy coming out?? Wriothesley?? He looks pretty cool too 🤩 With the scar under his eye and his hair coloring I'll admit I thought he was an older man from the web event. Like, a weathered working man. Like Larry from Scarlet and Violet— do you play Pokemon? Have you played either of those? Anyways, I should've known better, seeing as Genshin is quite fond of the youthful look for everyone 😂😂

I have played Violet and I know exactly what you mean!! I'm sorry you missed the event banner :C adulting sucks! I've had a lot happen in the past month too honestly 😅 but things will work out eventually.

Now talking about Wriothesley... I have a few friends who are already crazy for him! One of them only pulled for him because of his cake though lmao that had me dying. 🤣 I do think from playing his trial run that he's pretty cool and unique though! Reminds me of Vi from League of Legends... a game I will stay happily retired from LOL

[shizu-yuuki]

C1 AND his weapon??? Oh my glob, you lucky!!!! I'm in the midst of moving, so my PlayStation got packed up 😭 but I'm so ready to pull for him as soon as I get the TV set up again!! 😆 I'll be happy if I manage to even get one of him 😂 He really is hella fine tho— Genshin does good with their character designs. I really like his charged attack, the way he floats and the ends of his coat go all hydro flowy 👌😍

YEEEEE somehow first 10 pull after getting neuvi, I got qiqi, so next was guaranteed for c1!

Failed the weapon first time, got it second time. He's real pretty! But also dude can clear so much of the abyss on his own hella fast...

I hope your move goes well! And wish you good luck with pulls of course!! I sat in his office and then on top of the fountain for my lucky spots 🤣

[shizu-yuuki]

my friends being like so... who's the new top hubby? Lyney? Neuvilette?

Meanwhile me: no its still wanderer don't worry... my spoiled grumpy love 😭💜

[shizu-yuuki]

Aaaasjsjidlsjwsiiskdjdkskla!!!!! 😆😆😆😆

NEUVILETTE IS OUT!!!!!!!

Did you pull for him??? I'm real tempted to get a crystal top-up— especially since they refreshed the bonuses!! I did his trial (I'll admit I didn't think he was gonna be a catalyst, but I'm just glad he's not a bow 😐) He's so cool and I really hope I get him 😍😍😍

YOOOO I GOT C1 AND HIS WEAPON

Bro is SO ridiculously cracked... took me a good minute to collect enough of the lumitoiles tho, that took forever, ugh.

Dude literally has an idle animation where he applies hydro to himself, looks so pretty tho...

UGH WHAT A FINE MAN! Also... very enthusiastic about water from every region... I thought that was hilarious 🤣

If you decide to pull for him, I wish you the best of luck!

Wanderer's story quest was really good 😄 I really liked his character development! Ya know what would be cool? If they gave him a hangout event 🤩 I love the hangout events— well, mostly just the ones for the characters I like 😆 Like Bennett's? Absolutely LOVED it! He is, in my opinion, angel best boi 😍

Honestly AGREEEEED! Hangouts are so fun. I kinda do wish there was one for everyone, but at the same time it's nice that they give the 4*s some spotlight with it.

Wanderer's development is fantastic, I'm happy he keeps his witty smart-ass attitude despite being in his own little redemption arc, most of my friends don't like him tho 😢

I really enjoyed the Lyney story quest recently as well. Dude is SO down bad for the traveler, have you seen his voicelines?! 🤣 it's honestly really cute. The whole rainbow rose thing got me good, it's really adorable.

[shizu-yuuki]

I'm not too familiar with Genshin VA's off the top of my head, but I will admit they did a good job with the selection. As far as VA's in general go, I'm a fan of Kazuya Nakai and Akira Ishida! Zoro and Gaara have always been in the top of my favorites list 😍 Have you played Ghost of Tsushima? I liked that Zoro was the main character 😆

YOOO fr! I didn't play it myself but I watched gameplay and cinematics for it.

I also noticed the hydro archon is voiced by the Jap VA who plays Rem from ReZero, so that's another cool one.

[shizu-yuuki]

Oh. My. Glob. I thought his voice sounded familiar but I didn't think to look it up 😮 Law and Levi are two of my favorites!!! 😍

YESSSS! So many great VA's for genshin... honestly in all languages the VA's are fantastic, but hiroshi kamiya is definitely a huge fan fave of mine.

There's so many who voice for anime, like rie takahashi for hu tao, do you have any favorites?

[shizu-yuuki]

Hi again!! How are you doing? Hope you're having a pleasant whatever-time-of-day-it-is where you are! Do you have a favorite Genshin character? Who's on your main team?

My favorite is Diluc 😍 I absolutely love love LOVE everything about him. He's the only one whose outfit I actually bought 😂 He is, unfortunately, not on my main team though. I dunno, I don't have much luck with his artifacts, so he's not as strong as some of my other people 😥 I'm working on him though! 😆😆 My main team is Zhongli, Ayato, Alhaitham/Cyno, and Wanderer! Ayato and Wanderer are my main damage dealers 😍

MAN I love Wanderer sm, I've put so much work into him 😊 Ayato is another fan fave of mine too, I see we have similar character interests.

I've got a few main groups rn, the most recent I've been using would be Lyney, Bennett, Xiangling/Kazuha, and Diona. Pretty much any combination of those four and I'm having the most MASSIVE crits.

I feel bad cuz I do have a c5 decently built Diluc as well, I do make sure he gets some attention too now n then.

I think I've got too many favorites honestly... I do my best to cycle thru them so everyone gets some love, to name a few others tho: Xiao, Tartaglia, Alhaitham, Albedo, but honestly all my built characters are so fun 💖

Favorite character though... I think Wanderer is my current fave, everything we went through with him story wise is just so great... I hope we get another story quest with him soon!

[shizu-yuuki]

I hope they release Neuvilette soon. I'm 'bout to drop so much primogems for him 😩💦

HONESTLY SAAAME. It might sound silly because I have plenty of well built hydro dps, but I found out his Jap VA is one of my favorites (he voices Levi from AOT and Law from OP for example) and I'm just in love with it.

Plus... he's hella pretty 😳
