Ratio and Aventurine taking care of three black catcakes is the absolute cutest thing ever.

They take after their dads, obviously.

Every so often the three black catcakes travel to Herta Space Station to spend time with other catcakes for enrichment. And every time they bring terrible to their fellows, because they themselves have gotten very good at bluffing, games of chance, and winning really petty and pedantic debates.

I like to think that Ratio wore normal jackets and lab gear and blazers before he fell in with the Stonehearts.

Then the events of The Final Victor happened, and he went to his first Strategic Investment Division meeting, and Topaz was like what the hell do you think you’re wearing.

And then Ratio was like, what the hell do you think you’re wearing?

And Topaz was like, duh, my business short-shorts with side cut-outs, obviously???

And who was Ratio to second-guess the Strategic Investment Department’s idea of appropriate work attire? It’s not like he has a wealth of friendly colleagues. Or really any friendly colleagues. Or friends. And Topaz is probably the most sensible person in Pier Point.

Which is how Ratio bought a slutty boob window toga and found his people and stopped being sad that the Genius Society won’t let him sit at their lunch table, the end.

Ratio/Aventurine didn’t fully come together for me until I realized that this is just a really gay James Bond story.

Ratio is the hot scientist who somehow got sucked into a relationship with 007, and is tying to keep up.

#And also James Bond has a traumatic woobie backstory #Because Shaoji knows what the people want #HSR #Aventurine #Aventio #Veritas Ratio

Okay it's four in the morning and I'm not entirely right in the head and I absolutely have not thought through the ramifications of this in its entirety, but

Garleans can't use aether, but they can affect and be affected by dynamis. we've seen this in canon.

Culturally Garleans seem to have a lot of emotional repression, breaking through only when pushed to extremes, which has no doubt prevented them from actualizing the combat potential of dynamis in the past. There is now an opportunity for this to change.

as they rebuild and reform their culture we should see Garlean bards becoming a thing, and they should invent heavy metal

Don’t mind me, I’m just having some feelings about the fact that little baby lieutenant Jing Yuan would easily have been the least famous HCQ member.

And then, eight hundred years later.

He just has to deal with the fact people sell candid photos of him for money, and the rest of the HCQ are mostly remembered for being his dramatic origin story.

What a mindfuck that had to have been to live through in real time.

The wholesomeness of this was literally the biggest serotonin boost ever. My biggest take away from this about Jing Yuan & Yanqing's father/son relationship:

#I don’t know why i keep being so surprised by hoyo’s marketing budget #when the literally commissioned a new rose breed to promote argenti #yes of court they did a full cosplay ten minute action short to celebrate cny #why the hell not #hsr

#HSR #From a world where Hoyo weren’t cowards

Jing yuan is the kind of parent who is overtly invested in their kid's interests and thus yanqing is his gen z encyclopedia

#Omg yanching’s face #his suffering is real #hsr

Wait wait wait

So like

Bill’s monologue on Skull Island wasn’t him talking about how Lee must hate him for “stealing Keiko” in some bullshit love triangle. Instead it’s about him apologizing to their son for failing to keep Keiko and Lee safe, and then going off the rails because of it??

That’s it right???

I underestimated the fuck out of this show.

#Monarch legacy of monsters #one more ep #Please don’t be bullshit #Also please let poor Kentaro get a win #He and May are all wrong for each other but it still stings to see your sister hook up with your ex #And then Cate is the one who meets Keiko too

Damn, why is all the good HSR lore locked behind NPC conversations? Was I really supposed to grill a random shopkeeper in Exalting Sanctum to figure out that the Luofu’s role in the Xianzhou Alliance is basically to be the Trailblazer ship?

Apparently yes!!

Luofu’s bringing in immigrants from other Xianzhou ships (not the least being Baiheng, Yingxing, Fu Xuan, and Sushang). They’re welcoming outworlders. They help planets that were afflicted by abominations get back on their feet. They’ve got trade and cultural exchange.

So that’s why pushing them into an alliance with the Astral Express makes sense. They’re probably the only ship in the fleet that would have welcomes the Astral Express in the first place, and no, that’s not because of Dan Heng.

It also explains a lot about why Jing Yuan decided to become the General. He really is living his dream of travelling the stars and seeing new places - just, with more stress and responsibility than a Galaxy Ranger would have.
