HE’S HERE OM MY GOD!!!

I gotta stop myself from pulling for him immediately and wait til sunday for thematic and superstitious reasons 😌🤣

My alt account's bilan : Strong start, support pain...

So, in the same fashion as the last post, I'm gonna do a recap for my alt account - it's a bit more recent, having started it in the second half of 1.5, but it's been active throughout the whole last year.

I've also been slightly luckier there, and it's the account where I do things for fun mostly - but less intro, more recap !

Characters

Now, time to see how pulls went on my alt !

As I did on the other recap, losses went in that order :

Ruan Mei (E1) => Gepard (E0)

Black Swan (E0) => Clara (E1)

Robin (E0) => Welt (E0)

Firefly (E0) => Bronya (E1)

Robin (E0) => Gepard (E2)

Rappa (E1) => Gepard (E3)

The Herta (E0) => Yanqing (E0)

Jiaoqiu (E0) => Seele (E0)

Honestly, not too bad : I don't mind having lost the e1s especially this early. The Black Swan loss was bad in 2.0 because I really wanted to use a DOT team, but in hindsight it was a good thing - even though I cannot use Kafka, it's just not viable right now.

Losing on Robin is expected at this point - Firefly I am not mad about either (I do not like her, and I do not like her gameplay as well, I realised it in hindsight).

In this patch, I removed :

Bailu (Not owned) : Same as on main, but even worse - I don't even own her. She'll come on standard if she wishes.

Yanqing (E0) : I have him at E0 and it's enough for my alt. I also have no reason to keep him in the pool further. He ain't built.

Welt (E0) : His eidolons are good, but I would rather get other characters in the pool - these 3 have the lowest eidolons (Himeko/Clara are at E1, Bronya is technically at E2 (but unactivated), Gepard is at E3) so I would rather get further to the end goal of accessing silver tokens.

Jiaoqiu makes me the most mad in a sense, since he would've been needed for my Acheron and the only reason why I couldn't get both him and Fugue is that damned 50/50. Losing on Seele though ? Best case scenario for a loss - I've started building her.

Light Cones

Cones are always the dubious "why did I go fish why why" in these.

At least, I don't regret anything here. That first loss was on Acheron's cone (and you couldn't guess but I got the cone on her rerun. I was on a mission). The second one was me fishing alternating between Sunday's cone and JY's (don't ask) and it ended up giving me an early loss on JY's.

Before Dawn : 2. Me : 0. 🥲

Yunli's cone also was a case of casual fishing but I do use Clara on my alt, and hopefully Blade will have a good enough buff - this cone being his second BIS might be really helpful. Not a bad cone to early on ngl.

Standard pulls

On this account, luck hasn't been as kind I fear. It did turn around recently though. Himeko and her cone are also great pulls, I hope it continues like this !

And now, what are the plans ?

Now, the plan is to try and get a 4pc scholar for Argenti - and to build Seele as well. Now that we know Archer is a Quantum, and Hunt unit, it does make sense that she's in the pool... However, her kit is too fun to pass on, and I really look forward to do some Seele gaming.

In terms of pulls, I honestly think I might grab Cipher if she's great with Acheron - it won't be Jiaoqiu but depending on Silver Wolf's buffs... We'll see. There are too many ifs in that reflexion - in any case, Tribbie might rerun soon - and if I can get her...

Same for Sunday's cone, I do want to try getting it because it's such an upgrade over Bronya's sig.

What will happen ? I do not know. All I know I do not plan to pull on the collab, unless I really like Saber's kit - plans are always so fleeting anyway.

I guess this is a wrap - thanks for reading everyone !

[unrealistic-ideas-for-writers]

Trying to decide if I *really* want to pull The Herta in Honkai Star Rail-

I love her game play even if I’m not huge on her character. I also think it could build a decent team (The Herta, Mini Herta, R!MC, Lingsha)

But like… I could be saving for Hyacine and Phainon instead-

im being hit with The Visions again

the Vision this time is a "homeless danny in gotham" au except its pre-robin Batman again because im on a batdad kick. --------------------

Danny finds a car.

Which-- isn't, like, anything super interesting or impressive. It's Gotham, it's a big city. There's cars on every corner, can't throw a stick without hitting one somewhere. And then setting off the alarm.

But-! It's a car, and it's past midnight-- or he thinks it might be past midnight, it's late enough to be. He doesn't have a watch and he left his phone at Vlad's; asshole put a tracker on it after the last time Danny ran off.

It's been over a month since, it's a new record -- last time it took just over two weeks for Vlad to find him and drag him back to the mansion. This time, Danny ran further. Left the state and everything. See how long it takes Vlad to find him now, hah.

People go missing all the time in Gotham.

Anyways-- there's a car, and it's midnight, and it's parked in an alleyway. Danny would've called it invisible with the way he pretty much trips over it, phasing through the wall of the building beside it and not watching where he's going, but it's not. So he doesn't.

Danny runs into the hood and nearly faceplants right into the darn thing with an 'oomph', hands catching himself on the metal as a flash of irritation flashes hot through his gut. It doesn't hurt or anything, but getting the wind knocked out of you sucks always, and he's tired and hungry, and as a result not in the best state of mind.

He's just about to sink his foot into the side of the wheel -- it wouldn't do anything, he's not that big of an asshole, but it's the principle -- when he stops.

Danny pauses.

He takes a step back, holding his hands out 'n' everything, and examines the car. He squints, trying to get his eyes to adjust to the darkness, considering the closest streetlight is twenty feet that way and positioned in a way that none of the light is hitting it.

Danny would not call himself a car guy. He doesn't think he counts, considering his size and lack of everything. But, but, he knows his way around a few cars, and he had an old obsession with older models when he was little that kinda petered out of existence after his accident. Had a bunch of little car models sitting on one of his shelves back in Amity, and Dad offered to get his hands on an old car for the two of them to fix up together so it'd be ready for Danny when he got his license.

...Anyways.

Point is: Danny can appreciate an old car, and this car has an older -- albeit obviously modified, if the matte paneling and plated wheels meant anything -- look to it. That kind of flat top went out of style years ago, and it's got this kinda rectangular look Danny doesn't see often these days on modern cars.

Other than the electrical cars, but he doesn't think those count. That's boxy, not rectangular.

Danny frowns, tilts his hands down, and leans back further as if that will let him get a better look at this thing. "...What model is this?" He mutters, it's hard to tell in this lighting.

Wait, he should see if there's anyone in the car. It's not running or anything, and nobody's come out to yell at him -- or shoot him -- but, still. People are crazy in Gotham, crazier than they've ever been in Amity. The last thing he needs to do is piss off some guy from the mob.

Danny peers into the window and-- there's no window, okay. Well, no window, and no driver. Some idiot left their car unprotected and without windows, in Gotham?

He pulls on the door handle just to be annoying -- it doesn't budge. Okay, maybe not that stupid. Especially since Danny didn't even see it until he was quite literally running into it.

So. Not that stupid.

Danny looks around warily, pulling his hoodie around him tighter, and then starts circling the car slowly. Like a vulture. No license plate; shocker. Hear how shocked he is? Clutching his pearls right now.

"Reinforced bumper. Cool." he says, er- whispers, really, quiet enough that it doesn't even echo. Danny squats in front of the car and runs his hands over the -- what, should he even call this a bumper? It's bigger than his head, and it's covering the grille. He picks at these... things on the side that remind him of leather straps. Probably to keep this bumper up? Like a ratchet strap?

Danny leans back until his butt hits the ground and he can sit back properly, propping himself up on his hands -- maybe not a good idea. There's probably broken glass somewhere here and he doesn't wanna pick shards out of his palms, again. It's like popping the world's most annoying zit depending on if it gets under the skin.

(He could always just phase them out, but the picking gives him something to do. It doesn't hurt that much.)

Eh. It'll be fine.

With one knee propped up, Danny looks the front up and down, and furrows his brows. The style kinda reminds him of a dodger, especially with the placement and style of the headlights. He plants his hands on the concrete -- hissing when he feels something cut into his palms, ow, there's that glass he was talking about -- and leans down to look under the car.

Hm, nothing jutting out that much. Looks pretty normal. Good space between the bottom and the ground.

He gets up and circles the side again, brushing whatever pebbles or glass that could've stuck into his skin off. He's really curious about where the owner got matte plating for it, or if it's just a wrap. The silhouette's definitely sixties or seventies; too angular for the eighties and fifties.

...There's no one here, Danny looks around again just to make sure, cranes his ears to catch anything. Nope, just the typical quiet rumbling of Gotham's underbelly. It kinda reminds him of Amity, or-- no. No, it reminds him of the quiet groan of the Zone.

That's far more comforting, he thinks. Danny's never really liked Amity all that much.

Back to the car: there's no one around, so Danny folds his arms against the side of the door and sticks his head inside the window. No keys in the ignition, should've figured.

Not like Danny was planning on stealing the car anyways -- anyone capable of modifying a car into this kinda beast -- or paying someone to modify -- was not someone he wanted to piss off. Danny's an orphan, not stupid.

Ignore the fact that he's got his head stuck through the window. The interior isn't anything interesting, but the seats are made of leather, which is nice. Must be a pain in the summer or winter, but leather is cool, and gets stains out better than cloth.

No stick shift though, he's a little disappointed.

Danny presses his mouth into a line and then slants it, humming in the back of his throat. Honestly, he's kinda tempted to crawl in and go to sleep. The leather seats look really inviting, and he's been sleeping on the ground or on park benches for weeks, and the car is really well hidden. No need to worry about being kidnapped.

But, it still belongs to someone. And they're probably using it for something shady. They'll come back for it eventually, so he should get this gawking over with anyways.

And, and-- and. He wants to get a look at that fucking engine. 'Cause holy shit!

Danny pulls his head out of the window and half-dances over to the back, his hand curling around one of the bars as a grin spreads across his face. Now, Danny hates Christmas, but this, this is like it came early and good for once.

"You could smuggle moonshine with this thing," Danny says to himself, grinning ear to ear and running his hands over the edge of the metal. The car is too conspicuous for backroads driving, but the engine, wow. What a thing of beauty.

One of Auntie's friends would probably know what engine it is -- or what type of engine it's based off of, it could very well be a bunch of different engines frankenstein'd together. Danny doesn't recognize it.

Which means it could be illegal. Again, what a shocker. In Gotham? He's clutching his pearls.

Fully satisfied with himself, Danny dances around to the front again and holds his hands out. He makes an 'L' with both hands and shuts one eye, getting the car within the frame of his fingers like he's about to take a picture.

"I rate you," Danny makes a camera shutter sound and mimics taking a photo, "one cool fuckin' car."

"Thank you."

Danny doesn't scream. He does not. He's taught himself better since ghosts started popping up in Amity, and honestly he deserves some credit for that considering they only started popping up over half a year ago.

He does, however, gasp. And he gasps hard, the type that has a high chance of giving you the hiccups afterwards; the painful, chest-thumping kind. Danny slams both hands over his mouth and stumbles backwards, eyes wide and his heart kicking into the fifth gear in his ears.

Bleeding out from the shadows is a man entirely drenched in black, Danny can hardly make out his silhouette and barely catches the white glints of his eyes. Fear like a prey animal burns in his lungs, wild and rabid, Danny has half a mind to bolt.

His ghost sense didn't go off, which might just be the most terrifying thing.

The man doesn't move any more than a step, just enough that Danny can barely see him, but he can feel him watching him. Shit. Shit. He should've never stuck around.

His hands are still over his mouth, Danny, shaking, flutters them open, "How-- h-- how--" he wheezes, "how long have you been standing there?"

[1000dactyls]

Rewatching all HTTYD media and realising Hiccup is one of the best shots of the show like genuinely sticks funeral arrow hitting the target that far away, the fact he shot down toothless in pitch blackness while toothless was completely camouflaged there's some more I'm missing but damn get that kid in the Olympics right this second

imagine how much shorter rtte would’ve been if they gave hiccup a gun

[astreiyashsrjourney]

My Main Account's bilan : Luck flopped, but supports prevailed ?

I have no idea how to do this, but let's get started.

I guess a bit of history is needed here, so I'll recap my pull history first for characters then lightcones (and there are a lot of mistakes I could've avoided. This is also why I'm creating this blog. Hopefully I'll be held accountable for those).

Characters

First off, characters. I've been tracking my pulls since the beginning, so nothing has been lost - I can use my pull tracker to showcase those :

That's where I'll say it, and I think I'll repeat it : do not fish for 4 stars or you'll end up like me. The sole reason I even have e1 Sparkle is because I was a big Qingque fan in 2.0 and I wanted her e6 so I ended up fishing for her e6 - and got Sparkle instead.

I have actually fished for Moze E6 this patch but it was extremely risky - don't go fishing on banners you don't want the 5* of, please.

Luck has not been on my side since - I did get a few earlies, but always on guarantee, and I don't know if that will change soon (hopefully, we pray). Gepard has been actively plaguing this account, to the point that it's become a meme - and I ended up picking him in 2.7 just to get the last copy and get this over with (it was either that or E1 Bronya, which would've probably been wasted).

Losses are, in order from older to newer :

Kafka => Himeko (E1)

Ruan Mei => Gepard (E2)

Aventurine => Gepard (E4)

Robin => Gepard (E5)

Yunli => Bailu (E0)

Robin => Clara (E0)

Fugue => Clara (E1)

Mydei => Welt (E1)

The only thing I'll get out from that is that Gepard has a serious problem with me and that Harmonies (especially Robin) hate me so much. It's unreal.

I guess this screenshot deserves to be shown - because, to this day, I still haven't got March's E6, but Gepard ? Of course. And he's useless because Aventurine makes him redundant - when the content even allows for shields which doesn't seem to be the case much lately.

Bleh, at least I have access to the silver items for the shop - if I lose on him or standard decides to be nice. Doesn't seem like it for now, but I don't lose hope.

Now that the 50/50 pool has changed, I decided to remove :

Bailu (E0) : Useless to me, I got her wayyy too late for her to be built anyway - she's also the only E0 standard I own, besides Bronya (but Bronya is never going off the pool).

Clara (E1) : Another useless unit to me. I literally have an E0S1 Yunli - I'm sorry Clara, you're always staying out of the pool.

Yanqing (E1) : I love Yanqing, I really do, he's built and everything, but it was either him or Welt (both are E1 too). And I think Welt's eidolons are better, I also would rather see a Hunt symbol and know that I have gotten Seele (or the unit on rate up if it's a Hunt unit)

I did decide to add Fu Xuan to the pool despite her E2 being lackluster - she still does see some use on my account and I would rather get her than any of the characters I have removed.

Blade I hope is going to get a very good buff, because I wanna use him and I would not be mad to lose to him either. Seele is one of the chars I wanted to have at some moment, so I'd take copies all day.

Gepard is always gonna stay there - I remember how much I wished that he stayed out of my 50/50s, just to keep him here forever. Kinda ironic.

Light Cones

This is where it gets funny - and where most of my regrets, if I can say I have some, stem from.

See, sometimes, I just wanna use pulls even though I definitely should be saving. "Heh, I'll just do one ten pull to fish for this 4* lightcone since I need more copies". The voices hit hard.

Ultimately, I have pretty average luck on the lightcone banner, at least for the win rate. You might've seen the two earlies in green are either a dupe of a lightcone I owned or a lightcone for a character I don't own ? Yeah, those were the mistakes we made along the way.

I don't regret it too much though, at least I can run the super cursed Superbreak Anaxa comp with Rappa's cone and it's funny

Losses were, in order :

Moment of Victory (S1) => Before Dawn (JY's signature, back in 1.0)

Moment of Victory (S2) => Worrisome, Blissful (Topaz's signature, in 2.4 I believe ?)

Kinda ironic, if you ask me. Not very victorious. But also very ironic considering I used to see Gepard everywhere - now you tell me his light cone plagues me too ? Fun times.

Standard Pulls

Those are less important, but I'd rather share them quickly than forget them :

To think that Welt + his signature cone and Gepard makes up half of my standard pulls is honestly a weird stat. I dunno what grandpa is cooking recently, but it feels like Gepard at his prime - and I'm kind of hoping it is not. I've been traumatized once. Not twice, please. Let me win some 50/50s 🥲

And now, what are you cooking ? What are your future plans ?

Now, I think I will be building Qingque (or rather, rebuilding her and finishing her traces). It's only a matter of time before we get invaded by Quantum weaknesses everywhere - as much as I hate to admit, I need to play by the rules otherwise I'll just not be able to do anything and that means building a quantum unit, hence why I'm building the gambling gremlin (I love her sm). I'm not at all feeling great about the future, my resolve to clear endgame is already at an all time low, so I might as well have fun with my resources - Castorice isn't for me, I do not like her, and I was dead set on pulling Anaxa anyway, so I did.

As for pulls, I'm currently saving for a potential The Herta soon ? Depending on when she reruns, I might go for her. DPSes on reruns are rarely a good idea, but I do own Anaxa - and this gives me an excuse to play him even more. AND it feels my Ice Weakness niche. Great pull for me overall - even though I'd need to luck out on her and Tribbie after that, hopefully she leaves me some time to save.

I'll probably continue pulling supports after this though - I rarely pull dpses and I was still maining JY 2 years after his release, which is something that's insane if you think about it.

Build wise, I do want better relics for Anaxa, Yunli and I want to rebuild my Bronya entirely, but I'm satisfied with my builds at this moment - Bronya will have to wait, I'm not going back to Sacerdos until I'm finished with QQ.

Anyway, that seems to be all, and I shall see you all for the second part of the yap soon - the one dedicated to my alt account, the blursed one maybe ?

[celestialrealms]

No one:

Obey Me MC: Simeon please please please spit in my mouth.

[wardingshout]

ART REQUEST maybe... skyward sword's fi? or tears of the kingdom sonia!!! OR PHANTOM HOURGLASS LINEBECK.... whichever you feel like drawing i personally think they would look gorg on your style ILYYYYYYY 💙💙💙💙💙

YOU SAID LINEBECK LOUDEST SO LINEBECK!!!!! and link bc I think they're buddies ??

[egophiliac]

Welp, after 4 long years, Dorm Riddle is no longer the card with the highest ATK stat in the game.

for legal reasons, we must remind you that this is only a simulation for the sake of practical experience, and also, you all signed the waivers

[andi-o-geyser]

despite how you feel about the changes from the stream to the show, if you like or dislike them, i love how inherently hilarious the narrative path tlovm is taking regarding perc’ahlia is because a situationship would literally kill campaign percy and vex like how the internet would kill a small victorian child. they are NOT built for that
