Went a bit experimental for this piece. I'm currently trying out some rendering technique that saves me time + just comfortable to do without having to go for all perfections. Yet to reach there, but I still like how this turns out~

I recently discovered the RatioMei ship through Clo_veer's incredible fics of them and have become so obsessed with them and then I found your art today and I adore how you draw them so much, your art is so beautiful thank you for sharing it ;;

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH???

I love drawing them so much despite how rare this ship was in a huge fandom of HSR TwT and I'm honored my art was able to make someone jump into shipping them!

I was pretty skeptical to share them most of the time, but the more I share, the more I see new people adoring them everyday and it makes me happy 🥺🥺🥺 I hope the same feelings transferred to you as well <3 Love youuuuu!!! //heart sign posting with my hand//

#ask box

[petrichorade]

I miss them so much,,,

#honkai star rail #hsr #hsr fanart #dr ratio #veritas ratio #ruan mei #hsr dr ratio #hsr ruan mei #dr ratio x ruan mei #ratiomei #meitio #my art #artists on tumblr

[petrichorade]

Hii :D I just wanted to say I LOVE ADORE CRY SCREAM over your Ratiomei art. I love them both sm I wanna swallow them sjsjsksk

But I'm kinda new to the Ratiomei corner of the fandom, and I'm afraid I don't know much about the ship. So I would really appreciate it if you tell me why you ship them and what made you ship them. Or what lore made you ship them. ANYTHING! Lmao just give me more Ratiomei food 😞😞❤❤❤

Awwwww thank you so much for the compliment! And glad that you asked actually! I will answer your question as an excuse to spread the brainrot 😈😈😈

Kind of going chronological starting from here:

They were first introduced when Honkai Star Rail is still in 1.4 version if I remember correctly! 1.6 version Drip Marketing happened on October 31th 2023 11:00 A.M (GMT+7) at that time, and the 5 star Character that were revealed being Ruan Mei (Ice-Harmony) for the first half and Dr.Ratio (Imaginary-The Hunt) for the second half. It's pretty cute that Hoyo dropped them only 5 minutes apart (Xueyi, the 4-star as well though, after Ratio) since they usually postpone 2nd half 5-star for a day or two. This is their early drip marketing banner that some of you are familiar with!

But I really haven't start seeing things here, I love them both as their individual selves and crying a little because I want them both so bad but they literally gonna be released right after Argenti, who's been on my warp list for long long time ever since I saw his leaks ^____T (I'm an F2P Player, and still until now, so yeah)

// long story short, I receive a happy ending by attaining the 3 of them with extreme grinding + Ratio ended up being free :D //

Also I saw some of their gameplay leaks, some beta players weirdly likes to put them together in a team? Makes me goes '...hm?' But I haven't manage to see stuffs yet.

Then it all starts with THIS TRAILER. It was revealed here that there will be a new region being unlocked on Herta Space Station and it's turns out to be Ruan Mei's workspace, the Seclusion Zone. It's all cool until I realized Dr. Ratio were being placed in the SAME AREA.

I compare this trailer to previous character trailers, and literally can sense something.

Taking Imbibitor Lunae and Fu Xuan's trailer for example; them both being in the same planet (Xianzhou Luofu) but their character's animation were taken in different place, Dan Heng IL on Scalegorge Waterscape, while Fu Xuan on the Divinition Commission. Yet both Ruan Mei and Ratio's animation, not only took place in Herta Space Station, specifically the SECLUSION ZONE itself, not other places. I'm starting to lost my shit there, because I'm assuming SOMETHING goes on BETWEEN THEM if they were at the very same place.

Also I'm not sure how it this happens, I might just randomly came up with ship name myself and just search 'ruantio' on Twitter and SURPRISE SURPRISE? THE SHIP EXIST? And starting there I'm finding out they were often being referred as RatioMei instead!

The brainrot being so pure, I'm starting to sketch them out of the blue...and create something decent. But I'm not ready to reveal it yet, letting the art fermented for a while. Until hoyo, again, dropping that they will be the next Battle Pass matching profile pictures :]

Idk if some of people aware of this, but BP profile pictures most of the time always just...pair folks not coincidentally + matching themes as if they were couple. This the list of characters that were paired for BP chibi profile pictures before (also note it's so far always been male-female);

1.0 - Himeko & Welt

1.1 - March 7th & Dan Heng

1.2 - Kafka & Blade

1.3 - Jing Yuan & Fu Xuan

1.4 - Bronya & Gepard

1.5 - Jingliu & Yanqing (this one's questionable a little lol

Therefore, right after this info getting dropped, I'm finally posting the art itself, being my first RatioMei fanart 😂

－－－－－－－－－－－

Now jumping into when the 1.6 updated + the lore was revealed!

I'm going to be honest as I play along the way (and for those who's interested with this ship but not playing HSR): they basically have zero direct interactions.

But! I may have create a breakdown of they might potentially knows each other a bit, you can read it on my twitter thread here! (and sorry not sorry if everything came out very delusional)

Dr. Ratio also left so much notes on that specific area of the Seclusion Zone that looks like a greenhouse lab and were packed with her critters + the imitation of Tayzzyronth (Aeon of Propagation)'s emanator. Compiling them all ↓↓↓

Besides that, they're also mirroring each other so much;

1. Ruan Mei actually didn't want to be part of Genius Society in the beginning yet gaining Nous' gaze. She even tossed the Genius Society invitation letter to trash can when she receive it. Meanwhile Dr. Ratio completed doctoral degrees in 8 fields and actually wish he could be part of the Genius Society one day, but the moment he receive letter from Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC) instead, he thought he might never be able to gain Nous' attention at all.

2. Related to previous part, there is a literal reason why 1.6 patch were named "Crown of Mundane and Divine". These two were more of a 'two pages in the same book' as what my mutual refers it. If you completed the trailblazer mission for patch 1.6, the reward name being "Mundane Recto, Divine Verso". I want to dig deeper about this Recto-Verso concept since it's a printing terminology and it resonance so much with their overall traits, maybe I'll create separated post for this later!

The 'mundane' and 'divine' crown itself is visible on their head, being their hairpins (this is my personal approach);

Ratio -> laurels/leaves ; grows on everywhere on the branch, unnoticed -> the way Ratio saw himself being a mundane between all the mediocre people, not special. Representing Mundanity

Ruan Mei -> flower ; grows near the tip, most of the time one top of tree branches, eye-catching, facing the sky -> Ruan Mei having a goals to be an Aeon, reaching for the sky and getting Nous (Aeon of Erudition)'s attention. Representing Divinity

－－－－－－－－－－－

Fun Fact Section

Ratio literally have a voice line if he were being put in the same team with Ruan Mei + opinion about her 😂 if you want to listen to his voice, check this out. He talks about fellow Simulated Universe participated Genius Society member as well, though. But it makes me freaking ill with the fact that he CHUCKLES a little in the middle of talking when added to the same team with her like I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOVER BOY

And to note, Dr. Ratio belongs to another faction under Nous beside Genius Society, the Intelligentsia Guild. And nope, he's not (directly) part of the IPC despite he works for them according to the storyline. I have a professor irl who also works as a consultant for a corporate company beside his academic career, and that's how I kinda view Ratio 'works for the IPC' wording goes :)

Now this is the interesting part comes! Besides him, there's an eye-catching figure who belongs to Intelligentsia Guild, and it's being...Ruan Mei's grandmother! This fact was written on Data Bank, not the playable character section (where you can level them up etc.)

Another fun stuffs I found on Dr. Ratio's lore is the one I highlighted in red;

My theory is that Ruan Mei's grandma might be also part of the rumored council, supported by the fact that Ruan Mei's intelligence were mostly inherited from her maternal line. I can only assume Ratio and her grandma knows each other, and it's potential that Ratio might have heard/know about Ruan Mei not based on other people's view, but from her grandma herself (judging how eager he learns the truth from credible sources). Also here's more thing that makes me hopeful for them;

Ruan Mei's grandma have been watching her for years, and from this, I kinda feel hopeful we're soon getting Intelligentsia Guild lore + further depth about these two characters as I felt like we've only knew them at the tip of an iceberg.

－－－－－－－－－－－

Also please please try to read fic series made by @clo-verrr (I'll link it down below this post!) her RatioMei (and the other ships) fics are just *chef's kiss* I love her writings so much, and how her approach on these characters if they ever met/knew each other. It is THAT GOOD, you won't regret the reading experiences. Her fic is my roman empire moment for real. Highly recommended reads 🤌🤌🤌

－－－－－－－－－－－

This is all I can pretty much provide you of why I like this ship. And again, it's all about matters of preference, I love these two characters both as individuals and as a ship, they're very precious to me and I want to continue drawing them even more TwT so thank you so much for asking this question and make me starts my day with joy! Love you muachhhh

STORY TIME!

Gonna share my ((personal)) experience being Japanese Literature graduates because I like oversharing (as always)

To starts this story, I would like to make disclaimer that this major wasn't actually part of my wishlist. I actually intended to study Architecture in this uni I've been dreaming to enter ever since childhood (it's like top 3 uni in my country) but my grade wasn't really enough even for local SAT passing grade requirements. I got accepted to another uni for Agribusiness major, but I'm still actually want to try my luck to enter this dream university. I passed to enter the Japanese literature major.

But my study time feels rather half-hearted? I came to realize just now, I'm actually always been lost when it comes to pursuing what I wish to study in higher education. Even back then, architecture came into my mind solely just because there's a guaranteed drawing course there (and God knows how much I love drawing??? It's literally part of my soul)

Yet I also didn't regret being literature major either, especially Japanese. The Japanese literature courses in my uni is actually pretty unique and rather different than the others, as we're actually not fully focusing on the linguistic sides only, despite the label. I find myself intrigued studying the literature history and the cultural topics. My grades in Japanese language was ass, but I'm ace-ing(?) the other classes thankfully! ^q^

Also I'm actually have zero knowledges about the language when entering except few common Japanese greetings or terms; 'arigatou', 'konnichiwa', 'sensei', etc. But the major literally helped me improve the language ability a little? I can say my current Japanese skills rather similar to my 1st-grade middle school English ability before I discover Fanfiction dot net. I'm suck at it, but when I heard people talking in Japanese even in a pretty fast phase, I can -- AT LEAST -- get the point of their conversation (if that make sense???) And there are few kanjis I can read, also terms I actually understand with its specific context!

If asking the most difficult part, it has to be the linguistic-related courses, personally, because I'm not passionate about it. But one or two times I found the course enjoyable; translating from media, and decoding what type of sentences within it were supposed to categories to, then writes papers about it. Mayhaps the 'story-telling' execution was the thing that makes me happy when studying. I found myself enjoy writing and analyzing!

And despite I felt half-hearted studying literature, the thing that got me survive those 4 years were the tuition fees ((it's so expensive because it's a prestigious uni + I didn't enter the course with scholarship program)) and kept thinking about my parents :') besides that, I actually also doing my assignments with my 100% effort and just did my best with my limited knowledge! I hate taking this privilege for granted. Based on my family's POV, they never saw me 'studied this hard' before LMAOOOOOO although I have plenty times to draw myself too.

My effort was fruitful the moment I reached my final semester, where I had to write the bachelor thesis. I receive a strict supervisor, who receive his PhD in Anthropology on Harvard (my biggest life flex tbh). He criticized my writings almost every counseling session, even it took me the whole month to convince him to approve my topic. But thanks to his strict supervising and counseling, my thesis turns really great, at least for bachelor grad level! I feel cringe reading it but it also opens so many ideas and aspects of life I yet to explore. And I graduated on time hehe~!

But the thing that I learned from being literature major grads -- tho this could be applied to other majors in general -- you really really need to force yourself to 'like reading' and 'read smarter'.

Also right now, I'm actually picking Japanese language study again by watching anime and my side-project that I've been wanting to do is to translate the fancomics that I purchased from pixiv's BOOTH. I have around three at this point? And I'll start translating one by one. Thankfully, despite me being freelance artists, I also maintain great relationship with my uni friends, and most of them work as tutor or casual employees yet engaged a lot with Japanese co-workers. So if we discussed something related to Japanese study topics, the discussion often feel insightful <3

I think so far this is it, I might overshare too much, but this really tells how much I love storytelling //lol//

I would LOVE to hear from anyone who went through university studies in a language that isn't their native one! Share your experiences! How did you manage ? What was the most difficult part ? What language learning level were you at before you started the course ? I am so curious about all of the details !!

Guys,,,I'm down bad for them,,,help,,,

Anyways have a RatioMei (again) but with Indonesian pre-Independence Day vibes <3

I kinda imagine them being those local aristocrats that have access to education earlier than most people, and as they're both extremely smart, they were gifted a chance to continue their study abroad in Netherlands. There are historical layers in this art tbh. But this is so far what I have in mind when drawing this + nonstop listening to this song

Practicing manga styles again! It's been a while I think, and still trying to get used to manga environment in CSP ^^;;

I enjoy making this so much I actually want to post it immediately the moment I finished it, but I kinda fermented this art a little while as a form of self-ban for posting RatioMei/Ruan Mei related fan-content until I manage to pull Ruan Mei after I lost 50/50.

And now it is being shared to public as my self-reward for getting Ruan Mei today! CHEERS FOR MEEEEEEE

2024 Art Resolutions

Edit: template by coco__glez on twitter!

I happened to woke up pretty early and didn't felt asleep after did my morning prayer (it's 5:45 as I'm writing now) so I'm gonna write this down now as it's still remain fresh in my brain!

1. This year I actually have allocate my focus on local artist alley event (Comifuro) that'll be held on mid May, so the first quarter is rather focusing on merch design production! So far I usually only dealing with local customer, but I'm truly hoping I could sell my merchandise overseas as well ^^

2. I've been planning to focus on creating comic this year, so I intent to improve my manga illustration style and my storytelling skills. This could only means I'll post less casual illustration contents and that's okay. I've been aware my writing skills is pretty ugly, supported by my weakness in visualizing emotions on characters, so these two particular things always holding me back from making a comic. But I also realized if I never expose those ugly writings, I'll never get there? So yeah, I will learn to post comic with ugly storylines to the point I remains creating but with a better story qualities!

3. Related to the comic goals part, for starter, I'm not going to immediately post a whole story. I might starts lightly by posting 4 panels comic, then gradually upgrade to something short around 4-8 pages and so on. And I've considered this platform is perfect for comic posting with all this neat tagging system, so yeah! Let's do it!

4. I'm might sounds ambitious for this, but I want to create a fancomic/zine by the end of the year and sell them on local artist alley. Please pray for me ><

5. Be humble with my works in progress. The way this means is that sometimes some artwork just better remain in 'unfinished' state. It doesn't have be always finished and polished. Sometimes its form of rough sketches or unfinished colors looks better than any other options. I learned this in a hardest way possible, as even if I don't make a lot of polished art, I want to remind myself that I'm still valid as an artists as I'm still creating.

6. This one's related with my comic goals, which is I want to read more fanfic / books and keep in track of the fic/books I've read in a reading journal (which I already own one). There's no specific amount of how much works I should read, but I think it'll be great or satisfying to know how many words/works I've consumed in a year haha.

Wrapping up this post, all the things I've mentioned in this post might happen or not, or even getting adjusted, depends on how my life goes with its unexpected opportunities. As usual, even if things not happening the way I wish, usually there are other good achievement I manage to gain or learned from.

Last but not least, I wish everyone a blissful 2024 ahead~!
