Thinking about how Kakfa tells Blade to unleash the Mara but doesn't Spirit Whisper him until he explicitly asks her to

#honkai star rail #kafblade #the stellaron hunters are so fascinating to me #it's like.... their relationships don't seem HEALTHY healthy #I would hesitate to call them a found family yet #but it's definitely a healthier villain team dynamic than like the fatui harbingers for instance #they (kafka and blade specifically in this case) have this like implicit trust and coordination #that's almost like a dark mirror of the astral express dynamic #(possibly because they've got elio who can see the future so they have reason to have perfect faith in each other and the plan)

stellaron hunters found family (i)

Blade thinks to himself for a moment, in truth he has an inkling about the so-called “power” and it’s origin, but keeps it to himself for the present. For now, he contents himself with watching Silver Wolf and Kafka argue. It’s a rather one-sided affair but entertaining to watch nonetheless. 

Sam returns from a mission later and Blade gets the honour to witness one of the duo’s legendary video game duels. It’s fun to watch and Kafka joins him on the couch as the Silver Wolf and Sam battle it out. Sometime, when it’s late in the night and Silver Wolf has finally dozed off, Kafka puts on a movie. It’s an action packed one, with horrid flashing lights and cinematics that has Sam worked up to the nines. 

“That’s not how it works in real life.” He grumbles, pointing at a rather risqué interrogation, “movies aren’t made the same anymore,” he adds unhappily when the following escape scene ends with the lead actor bursting out through a window. 

“Oh well, it’s value is in entertainment. Realism is secondary,” Kafka says delicately, she’s examining her nails carefully though Blade isn’t sure how she is given the dim lighting of the room. 

He hasn’t been paying a lot of attention to the movie, more preoccupied with not moving so Silver Wolf doesn’t wake up since Kafka always insists he be a human pillow. 

“You’re just comfortable Bladie, don’t overthink it,” she once said to him after a mission where she had insisted on sleeping on his shoulder. 

Even now, she’s leaning against him on the couch, legs thrown over to the other end of the sofa. Silver Wolf is resting against his other side, snoring lightly, somehow oblivious to the noise and explosions of the movie. It’s not like they try to turn the volume down either. She’s also got his coat draped over her lopsidedly like a blanket. No one had wanted to get a blanket when asked and naturally it just happened to be the day when all their couch covers were in the wash. 

So Blade sacrifices warmth. Not that he runs cold, it’s a strange juxtaposition, because the heart beating in his chest is certainly cold, but his body itself still runs hot. Warmer than the average human for some strange reason. Perhaps he’s simply keeping the furnace fire he can no longer use in his body instead. 

It seems it comes in handy, as Kafka and Silver Wolf always use him as a pillow. Even Elio, for all his prissy, posh cat ways, isn't immune. Maybe Sam is the only one who doesn’t see Blade as a portable heater…then again, Sam is self-sufficient, relying on machinery alone to accomplish tasks. 

Speaking of Sam, he’s sitting on the ottoman. Blade isn’t too sure why, there’s space on the couch – there was a reason they had needed to upgrade it several times in the past, but when he sees Elio stalk into the room from the hallway, he thinks he knows, especially when cat-Elio jumps onto Sam’s lap to get scratches. 

The night wears on and soon, not one but two people are fast asleep on each of Blade’s sides. He’s pretty sure Kafka is faking it, but knows very well that Silver Wolf is dead to the world. Not even a hard shake would make her wake up. The ending credits of the movie are rolling on the screen and still, neither have woken up. 

Blade gestures at Sam, who stands up and takes Silver Wolf back to her room, coat and everything. Elio is perched on his broad shoulders, amber eyes gleaming as they walk away. Thankfully, Silver Wolf sleeps deeply. Blade supposes it’s one of her many strengths, especially since she is still a child. 

Left alone with Kafka, Blade thinks that it really would be rude to leave her on the couch, even with a blanket and pillow. Well he doesn’t have a coat to give her and the one Kafka wears is much too small for the night so he takes her back to her room. He makes sure to remove her sunglasses, pistol(s), jacket and katana. 

The door is carefully shut, done in a way that wouldn’t make a noise and wake Kafka up. They share a trait there, that they are both light sleepers. With Kafka and Silver Wolf secured, Blade begins the trek back to his own room. It’s dark in the hallways, but occasionally, a window opening into the starry seas appears.

the stellaron hunters all have symbolic names and it's actually driving me crazy with how fitting each one is

maybe the curtains are something other than blue, steve

Kafka: it's literally slang for Kafkaesque, which is an allusion to Franz Kafka's world of horror and nightmares. Franz also uses his writing as a way to reflect the dehumanized world that an anxious man lives in as well as the feeling that god and fate are against him -> kafka canonically tends to unnerve and scare people and she was the first Stellaron Hunter that Elio recruited

Silver Wolf: a grey or silver wolf is a symbol of connections and communications but it can also just generally mean intelligence -> she is their tech wiz, after all, and frequently instigates challenges with the Genius Society

Elio: translates directly into 'sun'. This one is a bit of a stretch, just slightly, but the sun is a symbol of divinity. While divinity can mean general exaltation, i think it can also be used in the context of divination -> Elio can see the future and he founded the Stellaron Hunters

Blade: this one was a bit harder to pin down bc there are a lot of differing interpretations; one of which being the Lady Justice. It can also symbolize honor, protection, and death -> seeing that Blade seeks out revenge for his 'condition', his own idea of justice, and acts as a sort of guard dog for the hunters- this name fits too

Firefly: Fireflies are symbols of hope and are often revered as guides or souls of the dead. There's also a Victorian superstition that if a firefly appeared inside a dwelling, someone would soon die. -> i don't wanna state the obvious here but... well. Firefly did join the Stellaron Hunters to find a way to extend her lifespan

This all now begs the question, what is it that Elio wants? Is it that he wants to prove that it's possible to defy fate? Does he have a terrible fate himself? He offered each of his hunters closure, but can he really provide it?

also, we know that Blade is an alias. or- at the very least, we know that it's not his actual name.

did Elio give all his hunters names that fit their roles in his narrative?

Stellaron Hunter AU where Caelus still has his racoon habits and goes around digging through trashcans. Silver Wolf lets him do it because in her own words "he might unlock a hidden achievement". Kafka doesn't care because Caelus is having fun and not bothering anyone. Blade is the one who actually has to drag their racoon boy home and give him a bath because he can't stand the smell of garbage.

[aha-chuu]

I just had a minor thought but like I've been playing hsr and it's really cute that the trailblazer (Stelle/Caelus whatever) has an idle where they're playing a mobile(?) game. Like my trailblazer makes a little sound of achievement randomly and I'm like "dang I never sound that happy when I do spiral abyss".

Anyway, the reason I'm making this post is because Silver Wolf's trailer came out and she is (famously) also a gamer. Moreso than the trailblazer, but also they've only existed for like two weeks so I won't hold that against them.

It made me think - what if the trailblazer is a combination of the stellaron hunters? Like, they're the ones who "made" them and we've all heard the "Kafka is mother" jokes. What if when the stellaron hunters programmed the trailblazer's personality, they put some of themselves into them? Or perhaps they have leftover memories from their time with them despite the amnesia, nothing concrete but some habits that they picked up.

So they got gaming from Silver Wolf, and perhaps their playful side from Kafka. Like, in the Silver Wolf trailer Kafka memes on her somewhat and then also her nicknaming Blade "Bladie" does suit the vibes the trailblazer has. Maybe the trailblazer's violent impulses come from Blade, then, since it is comical how quickly they start beating random strangers with their baseball bat.

We don't know anything about Elio but he's known as "Destiny's Slave" and that's pretty fitting. As the player character, the Trailblazer has exactly no actual free will. Sure, unlike Genshin, a lot of the different dialogue options do come with unique responses, but there's not one choice the trailblazer can actually make. This holds true from the meta "we (the player) control them" and also in-universe everything they do is predetermined. Looking at this from a fourth wall perspective does make sense since Aha (Elation) recognises its universe - that being the universe of hsr - is part of a game.

Idk, I just found this interesting. Kafka implies the trailblazer knew her before she shoved the stellaron into their chest, but since their memories are gone I do like to think that Kafka manufactured our personality by using aspects of the stellaron hunters.

#honkai star rail #hsr #kafka #trailblazer #stelle #caelus #i play as caelus #silver wolf #blade #elio #also found family stellaron hunters ftw #we're the baby of the family #kafka gave blade the controls so he could pre-programme his fighting knowledge #and silver wolf had to coach him through it #kafka: hmm i think they should like coats #everyone else: NO #kafka: fine but I'm making them a memelord!!!

Silverwolf and Blade family dynamic headcanon.

Silver Wolf likes Sanrio because she just thinks they look cute as hell. Then, Blade ended up with a Hello Kitty beany that he won't admit he likes.

Silver Wolf goes to Blade like a kid asking if their dad can tag along when she goes out. Kafka is usually more busy with missions, Sam is nice but she secretly prefers Blade's company.

Blade sees SW as a younger sister/daughter :)

Silver Wolf DEFINITELY has used Blade's money on claw machines or games in general. Sometimes even his whole WALLET.

It wasn't intentional but Blade was just giving a stare and a sigh afterwards

(Idk the dynamic of how both Blade and Jing Yuan has adopted kids now is so :(( to me/pos)

[plitaka]

God this has not left my mind all day I’m going fucking insane here there’s no way this is a coincidence I refuse to believe it they played lacrimosa and all *huffs copium and dies*

Words cannot explain the way 15 yo me is rattling around in my rn screaming to be let out. The Phantom Troupe was not only one of my biggest hyperfixations ever they’re technically what got me into fic writing and Hisomachi is like the messy shipping blueprint

These two will not be seeing the pearly gates and neither will I thanks to the effect they had on me I hope they rot

#honkai star rail #stellaron hunters #hunter x hunter #Phantom troupe #Without hisomachi there’d be no kafhime for me they’re the ones who made me abnormal #I hate evil organizations as found family I hate it I hate it I hate it here #Outing my shounen roots a little bit but it’s not like it’s a secret lol

[asteropewpew]

stellaron hunters group is so funny like:

kafka: hehe sorry, bladie's a little put out that he didn't get to fight ^_^

the "bladie" in question: *looking absolutely murderous and a step into committing murder out in the open*

silver wolf: lol yeah that definitely checks out

#hsr #honkai star rail #hsr kafka #hsr blade #hsr silver wolf #they are this unhinged group that has about a gc that works half the time some stolen 500M credits and a mission to do #stellaron hunters found family but if you try and stab each other on a regular basis

[jinngweis]

that’s exactly what she wants them to do

#honkai star rail #hsr #stellaron hunters #kafka #silver wolf #blade #my art #jinng.draws #if they were hunting a gay stellaron would the be hunting the trailblazer ??? #actually what do these mfs even do besides steal shit and be a found family #don’t know don’t care still love them #art
