Just me conspiracyposting about the new HSR planet, Planarcadeia and how it references the movie A Trip to the Moon, which seems to relate to how the HSR Logo is the express breaking through a moon, as well as Himeko (who is from Planarcadia according to the livestream) had that "to the moon" icon pop up during a previous quest...

Do they push in that direction tho? Yes yes they do. With a little bit of room to pretend it's "justfriends who love eachother" "yes totally ignore the romanticmusic" lol. #HSRSpoilers #HonkaiStarRailSpoilers
So just FYI.
Still not AS annoying as the romance push in 2.X. At least it makes sense.

Uh I need an addendum bc I didn't know abt the 2.3 sticker. So uh yeah FF is canonically in love w the TB. #HSRSpoilers
TB tho we have some leeway to not date her. Granted it's a badending typething. So the romanticroute seems canonically the road they want us to go hm but still we have some choice?

playing HSR 3.8 and IDRILA IS NEVER SEVERING THE PROPAGATION TIES AT THIS RATE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ARGENT IS CASUALLY CHILLING IN THE ZONE WHERE GOPHER WOOD WAS TRYING TO RECREATE THE SWARM DISASTER #hsrspoilers #hsr

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers hsr 3.8 ⚠️ and this is what I think this game is truly, unfailingly REALLY good at—world construction which mirrors the game's themes and the character's state of mind. the dream of gnawing oak is a masterpiece in visualizing gopher wood's state of mind. it's delicious

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers hsr 3.8 ⚠️ the dream of gnawing oak, in its construction, all but screams that he has to believe he had no choice—that choices themselves are meaningless. different roads lead to the same place, the hidden-by-perspective memories of mikhail, the accusatory text

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers hsr 3.8 ⚠️ sometimes the choice is die or hurt people, or let people continue to be hurt, and gopher wood not only chooses to hurt people but doubles down and refuses to regret hurting people. I think most monsters are like this. we all want to believe we're not one

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers hsr 3.8 ⚠️ he excuses mortal fear as lack of choice, and though to a degree it is, he defends himself through that "lack of choice," demands that others bear the consequences of his "lack of choice," and deprives himself of moral responsibility through that "lack of choice"

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers hsr 3.8 ⚠️ I love that gopher wood is a monster but I especially love that when it comes down to it, gopher wood is an extremely normal variety of monster. he encounters a mortal threat and cannot muster the courage, or the care for others, required to be valorous or moral

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ stories are (art is) important to how we imagine our future. raise defiance towards uncaring gods. do not forget who came before you, but lay the way for those who will come after you. and "love completes causality"—that is, love is meaning unto itself

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ and in carrying this story outward, into other worlds (stories) and other hands (data), "we" continue making that choice. amphoreus asks you not to forget her—as players, as readers, I think the best we can do is carry her lessons into our own lives:

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ "our" enemy is lycurgus, who sees the story, and the characters, for what they physically are: data. in defying him, by continuing to engage with the story, "we" defy the very idea that stories are meaningless. "we" choose, again and again, to log in. to find meaning

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ I think how amphoreus approaches this topic is especially effective because you must treasure the unreal to fully embrace what the story is telling you. these characters are, textually and metatextually, data—they don't suddenly "become real."

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ when the text has finished and the book has closed, a story begins anew with each reader, and though the events never change, their meaning does—with each and every person who reads (and thinks) (and breathes) (and cyrene's right, that IS romantic)

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ why does cyrene love "us" so much? because every story (and writer) loves a sincere reader, and every sincere writer (and reader) loves the characters of their stories. why does cyrene invite "us" into authorship? because no story is complete without a reader

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ and I'm ultimately forgiving of (and honestly delighted with) an arc that largely prioritizes her relationship with the player because she serves as both a culmination of those desires (from the game's devs to its players) and an allegorical representation of them

#hsrtweeting #hsrspoilers 3.7 ⚠️ like most gods, cyrene is not a person (or not only a person) but a collection of metaphors: self-love, a story's love for her readers, an author's love for her characters, at least a couple of psychological/developmental theories I'm not qualified to elaborate on...
