One of the Hoyoverse lore YouTubers/streamers I watch was on this weekend and, in the part I was vaguely listening to, was going on about his (self-admittedly 'copium') hope that Honkai Impact 3rd would see a Genshin or Star Rail surge in popularity once its engine is updated and relaunched. And while he and his chat identified a couple of decent reasons why it hasn't reached the same popularity in the West - no English dub being probably the top one, objectively speaking - it seemed like they weren't getting to the heart of what Hoyo actually changed in order to gain their current foothold in Western gaming space.

To put it bluntly - they diversified out of making solely waifu-collecting games.

It's not just about gender, though that's part of it. Every time I've watched HI3 gameplay, all the playable characters fit the same mold, even if their personalities/roles in the story are different. They're all big boobed anime girls who look to be no older than 18 even if they're hundreds of years old. (Yes, there are some men, but as far as I know they're almost entirely unplayable, or at least not the collectable gacha characters.) Not to say that the character design of Genshin or Star Rail isn't also a bit same-y in the standard anime style (there's still plenty of 'that is NOT a 40 year old woman Hoyo, have any of you ever seen a woman over the age of 20"); it's that they've at least branched out to different genders and heights (if not actual size yet, but that's a rant for a different day), at least enough to appeal to audiences who aren't either a) just here for the anime tits or b) super deep into crazy-assed lore enough that they don't care about anime tits. (Or the combination thereof.)

There's also a gameplay element, at least for me - I've tried playing HI3 three times, and each time I bail within the first hour because the combat is boring as shit. Also the main character has ... let's just say a very particular personality, one that is not my jam in any way, shape, or form. And that's definitely a subjective thing - the personality protag vs silent protag debate is a legit one, no matter which side you fall on.

I wish HI3 appealed to me more. I've really enjoyed diving deep into its absolutely batshit story on YT and part of me would like to be more personally involved in it. But every time I actually watch the gameplay and just get a whole line of teenage girls with ridiculous body models - on top of the unappealing gameplay and a Chinese VA style that really does NOT do anything for me - it reminds me that no matter how cool the story is, it's not a game for me. And while I'm sure there's a larger audience for anime waifus in the West than they're currently reaching, I don't think it's ever going to reach Genshin or Star Rail levels of interest unless they overhaul the available characters.

#jaime rambles #just thinking aloud today #saw another HI3 video cross my yt dash #and decided to type this one out

tumblrs being transphobic, with the ceo himself starting an actual harassment campaign against a transfem & also banning transfems who post abt it.

Oh shit, I had not heard about that.

I would like to say I don’t understand why this shit keeps happening, but I actually do understand it way too well. It just makes me so sad and angry. Especially on a site where people find and make their communities.

So much of this is about ego, and the people with power wielding that power to protect themselves and failing to protect others with it. A mere hint of negative sentiment towards them is harassment that is dealt with immediately and harshly, but a dozen complaints about discrimination or threats or bullying take ages to process and frequently come to unsatisfactory moderation decisions.

Whatever the sentiments of the people running this hellsite, you are always welcome in my corner of the internet, wherever you find it. You are all wonderful, and we all deserve to feel that part of this space belongs to us and those to whom we can connect.

Transphobia has no place on tumblr, period. Or anywhere else in society for that matter. It is that which should be being rooted out.

i do think pokemon AUs work for literally anything. you think to yourself "this character needs an elemental beast to be friends with" and every single time you're correct.

#and then you get to go through the hundreds of creatures and decide which type combinations go with your guy #and if your blorbo would pick only one type or make a strategic battle team or collect a bunch of strays #and if they would battle or just hang out and do regular world stuff but with a friendly pal #it's always a good exercise for “how well do you know this character: which pokemon would they choose?”#yeah it brings me joy. i like the little funny creatures.#anyway sylvie DEFINITELY would have a weavile.#pokemon #juni rambles

Shishido tunes in to the VTuber's broadcast knowing he'll fume about exposing Kiryu being his idea first

Shishido is already a fan of the VTuber and tunes in as normal only to fume about exposing Kiryu being his idea first

Shishido is the VTuber

niche ass crossover fanart noone asked for and my main criticism of barbie movie in a nutshell

#barbie movie #gentlemen prefer blondes #ken #ken barbie movie #marilyn monroe #jane russell #I watched gentlemen prefer blondes with my friend the other day and my brain decided this was a necessary consequence #the fashion is glorious in this movie if you like women and/or fabulousness you absolutely need to watch it #I've decided to cast blonde ken as lorelei and simu's ken as dorothy #seeing as they match the hair colours and general personality types well enough x'D #also shout out to barbie fashion for basically already being stuck in the 50s which made these redesigns hecking easy #I'm finally watching live action one piece? what better time to make FULLY UNRELATED FANART #about one movie that is just out long enough to no longer be relevant and one that is literally 70 years old

outtakes from my rita skeeter character study i did feverishly at 4am last night/this morning

#my delusional princess with a disorder #worlds worst person with narcissistic tendencies #only still alive out of sheer force of will and spite #mediocre journalist and writer with huge dreams and an ego the size of the universe #will sleep her way to the top #genuinely believe shes ’self made’ and ’rags to riches’ when in reality bella’s presence is giving her work and status and clout #she sleeps like 3h a night and wakes up with a cigarette hanging from her lips and face pressed against her notebooks #the type of person who lies to herself so often that shes gaslighting herself into believing it #’god ive been working so hard’ <— girl who stayed in bed all day staring at a notebook and chainsmoking #eventually gave up all together and decided to watch a kathrine hepburn film instead #but she genuinely believes no one is doing it like her…….#she doesnt ever cook only orders in #her flat is a mess and bordering on gross #she hasnt slept in her own bed in a year she always falls asleep at her desk or in her armchair #fails every single job interview and is off putting and intense #MY GIRL THE LOVE OF MY LIFE #rita skeeter #rita

i wanted to see altaria rei then i started goofin around

#the only ones i could see clearly were eevee eiden and morpeko morvay #i couldn't pin rei to a single mon bc i don't know a THING ABOUT HIM yet #but i want to see ghost type rei fight ghost type kuya and they're both just super effective against each other #i wonder if all the old men automatically get honourary ghost type membership. live 300 years ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: spooky #ANYWAY LET ME TALK ABOUT MY LIST #as in the list i was compiling of pokemon who matched the VIBE of someone and i couldn't decide #now BESIDES the ones req et al. already mentioned. which i already 👍👍👍 i was trying to find even moooore . exploring what could be.....#rei: altaria. marowak (alolan). noctowl. chandelure. decidueye. ribombee [a quiet friend :)]. inteleon.#once again i don't know rei's birdy deal yet so i won't (eheheh) pigeonhole him into an owl pokemon but we'll just wait and see #i had inteleon under rei before milke brought up sobble yakumo so now i'm like..... oh no...#rei fits the last evol and yakumo fits the first two.... uhhhhh #they can share. like they share gem placement. butt buddies.#yakumo had: girafarig. froslass. azurill (crying). tropius. wishiwashi. leavanny. marshadow.#i just want him to hang out with the food related mons and enjoy some fresh fruit with a giant flying dinosaur. yah #OK FOR EDMOND I SAW SIRFETCH'D AND COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING #WHAT A REGAL BOY. I HAVE TO. PLEASE I NEED EDMOND TO WIELD ONIONS #i was trying to be serious and find him a proper majestic pokesona . i swear. but the look on sirfetch'd's's face #edmond's list went: skarmory. lucario. cinccino. zeraora. dachsbun.#do i know edmond? i doubt. he's fluffy. wait no he's severe. wait no would he dare carry a fluffy cakey pokemon around? DARE HE????#for olivine i was even more stumped. seems like a lot of the pokemon i immediately thought of were the fluffy nurse types #stuff like chansey/blissey. kangaskhan.#this pokemon is 100% female? *flings pokedex out the window* no. olivine is a gender now #some of the newer pokemon i considered were bewear. drampa. mabosstiff.#but once again these were all just Protective of the Little Ones types #so i was imagining olivine just chilling with his serene smile and an army of MASSIVE CARETAKER POKEMON behind him #but. there has to be more to him than just taking care of others . furrows brow. idk. i'll settle for lapras FOR NOW #ditto eiden riding on the back of lapras. wonderful. glorious #pokemon crossover

i’m sooo curious on bill meeting dipper’s parents. i think i remember you mentioning at one point they kinda sucked and treated dip especially bad. i’m sure that’s caused a lot of his long term mental health/self esteem issues and i can’t help but think his husband wouldn’t be too thrilled about that. also they don’t even know he’s married so that’s a whole other thing lol

In the Familiar AU, Dipper's parents shipped him and Mabel off to Grunkle Stan back when they were twelve, actually!

This was initially excused as the twins 'needing to get used to having magic'. Which makes sense! Magical puberty is a heck of a thing, and getting some training's useful to cut down on random magic surges.

But by the end of the summer, they hadn't made any plans for picking the kids up. This when Stan twigged to the real situation.

And by the end of that year, Dipper knew his 'paranoid' assumption was absolutely correct.

So the twins grew up in Gravity Falls, with only very occasional visits back 'home'. Contact's been sporadic, and Mabel's been the one who's clung more to their parent's attention. Dipper hasn't spoken to them unless forced to in years.

So yeah! Bill's not exactly thrilled with the parents - but lucky for them, they haven't met him yet! And they definitely don't know about the marriage. Much less anything else.

#answers #In summary: The twins' parents found out their kids were magical and decided they Just Couldn't Deal with that #They're not magical themselves and giving your kids some Magic Training is a good idea #But at some point you need to actually *take them back*#Which they just. Didn't #Dipper abso-friggin-lutely has a whole mess of issues from that #Abandonment's a big one. Being worth something and good at something? Yep that's an issue right there #Not the least of which is that Mabel as a more Talented and Powerful magic user got more attention when they were still there #Then continued to get more attention via phone call when they weren't #Mabel's got some REALLY rose-colored glasses on about the situation #Dipper sees it for the 'well my kids are freaks but at least one of them is a Cool Freak' it is #That's a fact he's been stewing on for *ages*. A fact bomb that he could theoretically drop on his sister but never did #Needless to say he got the brunt of the Issues™ but Mabel's got her own in turn #I'm also betting there's more than a dash of homophobia in their parents considering their reaction just to Magic #So the parents aren't going to be very thrilled about either of their partners #In my head I picture the parents wanting a Totally Picturesque Family #And creating the visual of one is easier if you only have Pictures of the kids instead of them being there and being themselves #In summary: Yeah The Parents Suck #I started a fic for this once and I still intend to write one but that's a later type of project #I gotta have the right start for it to flow well
