None Of Those Characters Are Normal But That's What Makes Them So Great

there is actually something so devastating when you find someone who posts a lot of a niche character or ship that you like and then their other stuff is like... nasty or triggering stuff. like no you're so talented ahaaa please don't post that other stuff ahaaa...

oh my GOD I just remembered that in Hitomi's somnium you have to give her a friendship bracelet in order to progress. Assuming she made Manaka's bracelet, then that bracelet was the one Manaka made for her... I'M GONNA CRY

going insane at the fact that Manaka Iwai wore a friendship bracelet. She was just a girl. Did Hitomi make it for her? Did Renju? Did they all have matching ones? I am going to explode.

Kotori: Umi-chan~ I heard people were shipping us <3 *wink*

Umi: TO WHERE!?

This started as a yugioh joke but ended up being a challenge to see how Profoundly Miserable I could make Layla

Hoyoverse is a company that loves to give us disappointment after disappointment, but after so many recasts of characters that we love, I think the fandom should do much more to protect the rights of the actors that are part of the projects that we love. People of Tumblr, can we please all come together to submit feedback or email Hoyoverse stating that this type of behavior is wrong? Even if you play in another language, it certainly does feel demeaning that the company keeps on going against player feedback, whether that be with the racism, ableism, sexism, and now with the lack of worker rights.

If anyone has questions regarding the SAG-AFTRA strike I can try and point you to the right direction, but as a TLDR: the strike is to protect voice actors against AI and it is up to the company (Hoyoverse) to sign to protect them. Agents, talent agencies, and even recording studios do not have the final say in the agreement, in other words this is purposefully being ignored and postponed by Hoyoverse themselves. If the agreement were to be signed then all non-union actors could continue to work on the game, and the game could then become a union game. If so, there could be even more big-name actors working on it, which I am sure fans would love to hear. Working on a union game as a non-union actor could also potentially help in becoming SAG eligible and later a union member as well.

TLDR for the TLDR: It is up to Hoyoverse to sign the agreement and if they do everyone is happy and keeps their jobs and fans are happy with good quality voice acting.

Overall things are looking very bad for Hoyoverse since now most established actors don't want anything to do with that company. I think we need to push past our love for the characters and the game and really recognize that this is a company that profits off of gambling and does not really care about us unless we make it a problem for them. If revenue begins to tank and criticism rises, then perhaps Hoyoverse would actually listen and become a more respectable company. Not that it really was one to begin with, given all the disgusting sexualization, queerbaiting, racism, colorism, and so on. But truly, I can't say that I am surprised at how this is going, but I am without a doubt extremely disappointed.

The thought of So trying to be more fatherly to Iris because his other neglected kids became serial killers is absolutely hilarious to me. Like "oh shit I was such a bad dad that my kids started killing people I cannot fuck up with my last (known) child" and checks in on her every now and then to make sure she's not plotting anything. He's probably sweating trying to recall other women he may have had children with. So far 2 out of 3 kids are killers and that is a very bad record for him.

Like he checks in on her stream and she gets a little bit too violent in Fortnite and he's like oh fuck I have to leave town she's going to get me next.

I do think she should do a little murder as a treat though.

It would actually be hilarious if So is a witness to a murder in the third game and the killer tries to silence him, but in doing so they are killed by Iris. I can just imagine the awkward tension between So and Iris.

Iris, looking between the body and So: " A-are you ok Mr. Sejima?! I don't know what happened, I just saw that you were in danger a-and my body moved on its own and —"

So, internally: why does this keep happening to me...

they couldn't give my autistic ass an AI-Ball. I'd be staring at the wall for hours asking them to go through articles and articles of my special interests.

well, I mean obviously I would not get an AI-Ball since I would not be working for the police KEKW but I would be using my powers for autism and yuri

"Leo did you solve the case?" No man I was looking at (kiki and) booba videos and learning about why pigeons in urban environments are so colorful
