Arianell (20) (she/they). This was suppost to be an art/writng page, but at this point, my fandom memes have completely taken over

If yall could reblog this with you're most insane or stupid piece of mihoyo game lore, that would be appreciated (if you have screenshots that would be extra appreciated). My friend asking if they should play genshin somehow devolved into me explaining the entirety of the honkai-verse. There's just only so much bs I can remember off the top of my head unprompted

A Benjamin Franklin Dollar Bill from the 11th dimension shows up to talk to a female Thoman Edison turned angel about how she's screwed but there is nothing else she could have done

Arthur Conan Doyle secretly got paid to solve crimes for other people and wrote the Sherlock Holmes books based on the most interesting cases.

Except he had to change some stuff because no one would take the story seriously if Watson was an immortal Asian woman who can punch walls down and read minds

Napoleon Bonaparte got isekaid, became a superhuman, took over 1/5 of the world. Then when the super-human juice ran out he split into a woman and a tentacle monster

A tone-deaf girl accidentally joined a super secret organization that fights monsters because she mistook it for an idol audition, then she went missing during a war and everyone thought she died, when actually one of her comrades was the host of an alien symbiote that chose her when the original host died and took her to an alternative universe for protection where she found a piece of a pervert sword that gave her the ability to sing

Female Schrodinger has a sick design where she is half monster-catgirl and half quantum, only for the main game to keep turning her into inanimate objects

k I think I'm done now

Wow that was a lot. Thank you

Anonymous asked:

in my opinion people who keep comparing honkai, genshin and star rail to each other are one of the most annoying parts of the community

all three of those games come from the same company, what point are you proving?

it wasn't funny when honkai players were shitting on genshin players back when the game first launched and it's not funny now when both player bases use star rail to shit on one another

anon i would kiss if i could, u pratically spoke my mind i swear i think all hoyoverse players just love to shit on each other for no reason. in the end, let people like what they like.

lincaspar and marihilda are the two sides of the yaoi/yuri coin. they have the same complimentary yet opposite vibes. ​ferdibert is the third side you unlock during the adult radio programming hours. i will not be elaborating

they are suuuuuch cowards for not letting his model have a tail all the time like bailu. LET HIM HAVE HIS TAIL

"Vae, puto deus fio."

Thinking on it, Dimitri's accusation that Edelgard intends to become a goddess herself is even more ridiculous in context.

Dimitri asserts that there are people who need their faith to live. Edelgard responds that no matter how faithful someone is the Goddess will not actually help them, citing her own personal experience (which is true; the Sothis worshipped by the church - an omniscient, omnipotent, prayer answering capital "G" Goddess - no longer exists, if she ever did in the first place). Edelgard says this is why she must change the world "on behalf of the silent and weak." Dimiti then responds by accusing Edelgard of trying to become a goddess herself and "steal the power to act" from the people she "claim[s] to defend".

So what exactly is he accusing her of here? The only thing that makes sense in context is that he's upset that Edelgard is trying to take the role of the Goddess by helping the people who have nobody else to rely on (with the difference that Edelgard can actually produce tangible results) instead of letting them help themselves, like he's a damn Fox News pundit. This, of course, sounds like rank hypocrisy. In every other instance Dimitri is all about helping people, even reverting back to that stance in the same scene.

But let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He did say it was not the rulers, but the people, who can change the world for the better. So perhaps its a power thing, the disaffected can help each other out, but when a ruler tries to help they're trying to play Goddess...

Okay, maybe he can help in his personal capacity, but if he uses the power of the state that's going too far.

Okay, so it turns out that he is Mr. Government Handout, to the point that AM's ending mural flat out depicts his soldiers distributing food to the common folk.

Still, as long as he doesn't want to make the common folk dependent on the rulers to affect change; say by espousing a form of enlightened despotism where the rulers wield their power on behalf of the people, who have an advisory role, instead of the people being able to hold power in their own right. he's at least not trying to "steal power" from them.

Well, at least he would never unilaterally make a major decision about his people's lives, wants, and needs without actually consulting them first. Right? RIGHT?

OH, GOD DAMNIT DIMITRI!

Okay, so he's kind of a hypocrite, but that doesn't necessarily make him wrong about Edelgard. So where does she stand on things? She's trying to help people but is she stealing power from the people? Is she helping them in a way that would make her a "Goddess"?

So, here we have the basics of Edelgard's ideology. Instead of Crests and bloodlines guaranteeing a person has power or excluding them from it entirely, Edelgard wants people to earn power by proving themselves capable of using it effectively. All positions of authority, including, Emperor, will be selected from the general populace. This alone greatly expands the power of the common folk rather than reducing it as Dimitri accuses Edelgard of doing.

There is a common misconception that Edelgard's ideal system is a form of social Darwinism where people either must succeed or get cast aside. This is untrue.

This, along with other supports like her Houses supports with Linhardt and Petra paint a very different picture. Rather than a brutal, sink-or-swim version of meritocracy Edelgard takes an approach more suited to her humanist values, one that empowers people to stand on their own two feet, to choose their own path, and to become the best they can be.

In this way Edelgard actually avoids becoming a Goddess, even in the stupid and benign way Dimitri accuses her of. She doesn't want people to be dependent on her help, rather she wants to help reach a point where they can help themselves. Dimitri doesn't even start to consider that the people might need more than just charity unless he supports with Yuri in Hopes.

In a way Dimitri and Edelgard reflect the old proverb: "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime." Dimitri aims to provide the people with fish each day, leaving them to rely on his generosity. Edelgard empowers them to provide themselves with fish so they won't need of her in the future.

It's pretty well summed up in their end cards:

Edelgard is remembered as a liberator who gave the people their independence and stepped away when she was no longer needed.

Dimitri is explicitly seen as a savior figure who focused on charity and lived his whole life letting his people be dependent on him.

Alas, Dimitri, I fear you may be becoming a god yourself.

I like blade bc hes very much a honkai-aligned character… extreme, reasonable hate for another playable character with an expansive background to their relationship. The drama. Genshin impact could never…
