oh no i made cleruere more angsty

So, Clervie was killed by Peruere because Crucabena wanted Peruere to become 'King' of the house, and Peruere wasn't really motivated to do that. But what if I made it worse?

During that scene when Clervie was patching herself up, Peruere implies that Crucabena was the one who did that to her. Knowing that, and considering Clervie's kindness, she'd want to do something about it. The best way to stop Crucabena would be to win the Toddler Battle Royale and become the next Knave, but Clervie is not really shown to be much of a fighter, and she probably knew that. On the other hand, Peruere definitely is. Therefore, Peruere should become the next Knave to stop the child abuse.

Problem, Peruere doesn't want to be the next Knave. Bigger problem, to be King, Peruere has to defeat all the other children, and there is no way Peruere would seriously fight Clervie.

QED, the best (ok not really best but certainly most angsty) way for Clervie to solve all of these problems is, clearly, impale herself on her best friend's sword, imply Crucabena was responsible for her actions to motivate Peruere, and then take herself out of the running for King by dying.

You know, normal things you do for your best friend.

Of course, Peruere would probably disagree, but Clervie's doing this for the rest of the house! Saving the world by sacrificing yourself is probably fine, she'd understand.

"The world means nothing to me without you!" -Peruere, probably

...yes, I've been listening to Honkai World Diva recently, what of it?

'parting and wish for reunion' ow 'lasting scent' oof ty for the flower power

clervie symbolism

Want some more angst for your doomed yuri?

See that pendant Best Girl is wearing? It's some sort of bluebell flower (that I guarantee has some flower language meaning that someone could decipher)

Crucabena is holding a pot of flowers that is an exact match for Clervie's pendant. So when Crucabena says,

"I should have pruned this flower long ago, not waited till it wilts. How grotesque. Wouldn't you agree?"

She's actually talking about the person heavily implied to be her biological daughter. Implying that Crucabena thought her daughter had failed in some way, and as punishment sent her to die at her best friend's hand in order to motivate Peruere to win the battle royale to become king.

Anyway fuck Crucabena (not in the sexy way (unless you're into that))

DAY 3: drawing kiana for 100 days

obligatory post before acheron's release

obviously, it's established that acheron is a variant of raiden mei. her real name is not actually acheron (confirmed through the livestream, but...come on, we all already knew that). specifically, there's loads of similarities in her design to the herrscher of thunder above all else

similar hair structure, hair part, n hairpiece (n obviously the color, too),

sword structure, patterns, n nearly identical handles,

one "red" arm,

the bust/halter,

and of course, the color scheme as shown in acheron's "emanator" form, n the horns shown in the livestream

with all that in mind, i imagine acheron is a variant of mei who failed to save the person closest to her (her kiana, to simplify it), n/or watched them die, or even killed them herself. it's shown during her dance with black swan that there was obviously someone important to her in her past, conflict arose in a setting much like the one featured in the livestream, n there's even imagery of her walking alone with only the moon in the sky to keep her company

kiana has been associated with the moon n moon imagery since the flyme2themoon days; her origin was quite literally a game about blasting off to the moon

this teaser resembles thunders over nagazora to me, as well as mei watching kiana's end in honkai gakuen

there's also the fact that the type of emanator acheron is, an emanator of nihility, is classified as a self-annihilator; those who have felt the pull of nihility n been unable to escape drowning in it. self-annihilator's take the meaning of nihility to heart, so much so that it erodes their bodies n memories

acheron has been confirmed as the self-annihilator type in her character introduction posted recently. what really strikes me about this line is the phrasing of "existence is nothing"

sounds familiar, doesn't it?

mei is characterized by the tragedies in her life, n how they impact her. growing up isolated, a kidnapping at a young age, bullying at school, suicidal tendencies, n the constant reminder that the girl she loves more than anything in the world will always put the overall well being of humanity over herself

to me, acheron is a mei shaped by loss. the mei we remember from hi3 had the chance to grow n change; to learn from her mistakes, n to fight for a better world, bc she had the support of her friends n her most important person. acheron doesn't seem to have that level of support from anyone, at least not anyone still in her life currently

which brings me to my next point. she HAD a "kiana," but ultimately lost her. n this is the result

acheron is incredibly powerful, but her power seems incredibly volatile. she carries this innate sadness with her wherever she goes, n the very path she walks n the very aeon she became an avatar of strips life of all meaning, all the beauty from the world

it's a far cry from the mei we know, bc clearly, there was a very pivotal change in her development that i can only attribute to the loss of her world's "kiana"

Got to enjoy the path of totality of the eclipse from the comfort of my own backyard, except it was SO FUCKING CLOUDY. Really cratered my enjoyment. At least the weather didn't rain on my parade. Only way to lighten the mood was my puns, although everyone else probably thought I was a bit loony.

Still though, the entire sky going from slightly dark cloudy day to ABSOLUTE DARKNESS in less than a minute was. yeah. Kinda over the moon about that. By the time the sun shone down once more I realized it was still an enlightening experience. Guess it doesn't matter weather or not the sun shines, you can still enjoy it either way.

Apparently it's canon that pelican 1 and eagle 1 are married as confirmed by the devs, also I'm firmly on team eagle 1 is a tomboy.

[scrion7]

Been watching some assorted Honkai Impact 3 lore and playthroughs and I have decided that HI3 Bronseele is superior to HSR Bronseele, actually. It's probably a function of how HI3 Bronya is part of the main trio (equivalent to March 7 or Dan Heng) instead of just being an important figure to one planet and one planet only, and as such gets way more screentime and character development.
