about gnaeus and castorice’s father-daughter dynamic in 3.0 (sniffles)… i’m remembering how in the previous era, i saw gnaeus talking to and being kind to castorice and polyxia… 🥺
castorice is the only one who is actually from the previous era, so her meeting gnaeus in this one (in the “past”) is especially meaningful… ueueue
(+ to make it even more emotional/touching, gnaeus’s eng VA said that he based gnaeus’s voice on his late father’s, and the performance held a lot of meaning for him.)
hsr & wuwa really make me conversely appreciate zzz’s physics and character animations. they’re so much more dynamic, realistic, lively. the expressions, the way the eyes move (rather than staying completely still like in hsr), how the clothes fit/move on the body (separately from it).
hsr’s animations are soooooo so stiff in comparison. and the clothes are mostly connected to the 3d models themselves— meaning that, for instance, what should be tight fabric stretches as a character’s chest rises and falls. it just looks weird and lazy.
and while zzz’s jiggle physics are uh, too much sometimes, at least they make more sense than the characters in wuwa & hsr, whose breasts move up and down when the character is completely stationary… 😭. (maybe zzz is guilty of this somewhat too, but there’s just a notable difference. ykwim)
so the sea of flowers is just the primordial dreamscape/memory zone? and, as the data copy with the touch of “death”, castorice is just a memory zone meme that can guide “souls” to and from it?
im playing hsr myself for the first time. i just reached amphoreus. however, i kept up with the main story ever since 3.0 (by watching people’s playthroughs)— meaning i’ve seen all of amphoreus. i was very invested in the lore, so i know the truth about everything. that being said,
it being a virtual space is already noticeable. how could one woman split into 3(+) alternate versions of herself? it’s exactly like the tingyuns in penacony, or wonweek. this shouldn’t be possible normally.
answering past me’s questions about penacony from before i played hsr myself:
1) do robin and firefly actually die…. what
nope. they’re simply transferred from the regular dreamscape to the primordial dreamscape by a memory zone meme called “Death”, which is actually named “Dormancy”. and in reality, they are safe and sound.
2) what was the thing about robin losing her voice?
the harmony in the dream was discordant. it was affected by traces of the order. thus, her voice (harmony) was affected
3) why did robin stay in penacony or whatever? was she stuck in the dream bc she was dead or smth?
no. she was alive, it’s just that sunday was demoted as the oak family head, and robin was appointed in his stead. that’s why she stayed and sunday was able to leave with the express.
(planar ornaments for fugue are temporary, still gotta get her lc to 60, and gotta wait till next week to expand traces)
akivili fell/died/went missing during the swarm disaster, ena did the same, the harmony absorbed the order, the swarm disaster sparked a war among the aeons, and the harmony was revealed to be spreading the stellarons.
with harmony’s ties to the trailblaze… what if xipe also absorbed akivili? (making them their third face?) idk, just a thought. the express crew’s will and bond in penacony was so strong it even drew xipe’s gaze, and mikhail’s legacy ended up kinda representing harmony? despite being the trailblaze.
edit: although, tbh, ive wondered for agood bit if the propagation became their 3rd face. idk though.

“but when exactly did we enter the simulation [inside papago hollow]?” hun. hun. if all hollows are like a simulated environment, where you can even die and take physical damage, affecting you after you leave them… then what could that mean? after all, you don’t sustain injuries after leaving the HIA’s VR simulations.
well! maybe!!, just maybe, you’ve been in one big simulation all along. maybe your world, “new eridu”, has actually been overtaken by the honkai Hollow and has fallen into the Sea of Quanta Ether, and is therefore now a bubble world. one where, within it, a simulation called Life is running. and they’re simulating hollow disasters on purpose in order to get humanity to figure out how to overcome them. essentially doing exactly what the honkai does to begin with: forcing humanity to evolve, or sink into the abyss.
