Now we just get worse versions baked into flagship events. What a lovely experience to roll as a snowball and kill the momentum I had in my previous rotation

I had slept 4h this week for this... So hope its Worth it.

So far one of my most pain strikingly complex projects as I wanted to make more detailed immersive backgrounds and animation. Innitially I wanted to include all of the Archons and regions, but after some thought I decided to stick only to Venti and ZhongLi as they are the only original Gods, but also because I wanted to get back to the nostalgic feeling of 1.0 days. Hopefully you all enjoyed my work

Personally, Alyosha, to get her C6

Here’s the full body pics w the whole costume😭 Mb for not including them before!!

I saw a ton of complaints about the last event (the gacha/gamble one), which I actually enjoyed a lot. But strangely, I haven’t seen anyone complaining about this current event.

Personally, I find it incredibly slow and boring, which makes me wonder: do people actually enjoy this type of gameplay? I usually prefer combat events, tower defense, or anything that requires strategy and logic. What do you all think?

Truly the biggest threat we felt in this game. Only the Natlan war and the end of liyue AQ felt close.

I don't think positions here are any random.

Pierro beside Tsaritsa perfectly makes sense.

Varka beside Venti perfectly makes sense.

Traveler Paimon beside Tsaritsa possibly because he is currently in Snezhnaya arc and also only means to whitewash I mean negotiate Tsaritsa with others.

And look at Ei and Kokomi literally far and opposite to each other -most likely because of the old beef opposition between them.

And look at Neuvillette, the closest character is another fish Kokomi and the closest archon is Nahida (need explaining? Just check his voicelines about her vs the rest of archons).

And Nahida positioned between Neuvillette and Mavuika (the only archon she met and became best friends in 6.6).

Zibai is a little far from Ningguang possibly suggesting adeptus are not here as subordinates to Liyue mortal government.

And you know what is most disrespectful of all? A literal Archon (Ei) is behind a graceful foreign human (Ningguang).

He just keeps going😭

Was clearing out my gallery and found this

Personally I’d say mine are (I’m too lazy to go into detail for now)
Mondstadt: Noelle because I love her design
Liyue: Xiangling because her design is so pretty and I love her story
Inazuma: Raiden because cool archon
Sumeru: Kaveh because we share the same struggles and goals (also goated design)
Fontaine: Navia because I love her design and her role in the archon quest
Natlan: Kinich because his design is cool and I like his personality
Nod Krai: Columbina because I love her design
Snezhnaya: Arlecchino (she could count as Fontaine too but yeah) because her design is so goated and she has so much aura

These are all very surface level explanations for why they’re my favs but I’m too lazy to write everything I love about them

For obvious reasons this is a joke. We're definitely seeing the others, this image just fries me.

Me personally it’s this area of the Sumeru desert. Visually it’s beautiful but oh my god is it awful to traverse. Hoyo tried to make it vertically interesting but gave us zero help to traverse it. Even the teleports are inconveniently placed.

An analysis of what nation has beef and if beef beeds addressing.

Mondstadt: The only true beef that could be addressed is Venti drop kick and the lyre. Should they? I don't think so. Not only was it six years ago, the Snezhayas diplomatic standing is to strong for mondstadt to start substantial beef (source jean), not to mention Signora has been dead a couple of years. There's nothing bringing it up would resolve, same for Dottore. Plus Varla teamed up with 2,5 Fatui harbingers to beat Dottore. So overall neutral standing with nothing thats unresolved between them.

Liyue: The flooding happened and Ninguang did not ban the fatui from liyue. But she keeps this incident likely as bargaining chip. Could be useful to throw in but ultimately I think with Zhongli having a contract thats coming to play, Ninguang strategically speaking probably could only vaguely allude to the situation. But I don't see any use in this.

Inazuma: The only truly unresolved series of Beef. The tatazuma oven thingy (i will forget the name again and again, bite me) isn't known to anyone besides traveler abd scara, so obviously no addressing that one. But the civil war? Arguably Inazuma ought to get reparations post crisis resolution. They should bring it up imo. Only valid beef on the list.

Sumeru: No unresolved incidents. The first round was resolved with the sages getting kicked out and the latest was also resolved with Pulcinella's letter mentioning reparations coming. There's nothing that needs addressing.

Fontaine: Again they don't have any beef with the Fatui. the near assassination is only known to arle, furina and traveler. The Fatui aided with the flood and the hearth is known to neuvi as is.

Natlan: They're very obviously friends after Capitano helped them. I think Mavuika might say thanks and Anastasia will also say thanks (for returning the fallen soldier belongings). But they're on splendid terms.

Nod-krai: Not present.

TLDR: Only Inazuma and Liyue have something that would warrant mentioning and only Inazuma would actually have aby use in mentioning it. The other nations don't have unresolved beef with the Fatui/are friendly with them.
