and I'm so fucking relieved they put Razor in this banner. I main Razor, I've been yearning for constellations since December. but he's so godly they've only put him in 2 banners for the 2 literal gods

(watch as I max Noelle or Sucrose instead of getting one single wolf puppy)

BUT ANYWAY YES, VENTI!!! I've wanted to have him since forever. he's been my favorite character since before I played the game and even before the game was out

if I was still RPing I'd be playing him somewhere else for sure in fact... him and Wei Wuxian

absolutely my sort of immortal little shit in incognito. total green gremlin boy

and I suppose I'm simping since I've been preparing and saving for this banner for almost a month. I'll have ~7k primogems + 8 fates to spend. I'm 33 pulls into pity from Xiao's banner and I have enough to enter the 75-89 pull pity zone on day one. and he's guaranteed since my last 5* was Diluc

that means he's 100% coming home, either the first day or in a couple of days into the banner. the rest I can just try to get more copies of my puppy son Razor

but yeah, simping... I have farmed the minimum of materials for trash drunk god. I can get him to lv80 and I'm 2 gemstones away from the last ascension. all ready for his talents too. have his best 5* bow on lv80 already, can try to farm mats to ascend it as well

I AM CROSSING FINGERS FOR YOU

his artifacts are meh, but all my characters' artifacts are meh. at least I have a 4 viridiscent venerer set and I can farm better shit for him and Xiao later

I can feel myself running around to grab another 3000 primos just to try and get to pity

10778438: thanks!! and yeah, I understand that pain from early days when I still had no 5*...

in the end after scraping as much as I could for Xiao, I ended up getting welkin moon to make sure I'd get him and not Keqing

I'm just so close

Imagine my surprise when I realized Spiral gave 300 primos max last night.

it worked because half of my Venti funds are spare Xiao funds but still... real money... hisses

I usually only spare real money when it's guaranteed SSR but nnnnnnh I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd be tempted...

I actually didn't do most of spiral abyss in my 3 months because it scared me and my teams need work, but I tossed my butt in there during the Venti preps and that helped. I only got to floor 9 tho

the things you do for your fave

XD Cue me going I HAVE ETERNAL FROST WE'LL BE FINE and shoving Kaeya and Xingqui in there

And yes... the things you do for your fave...

permafrost XD that's good until you get to the floor with cryo bastards and sheer cold. then you want to die as you stare into your pyro characters' eyes

that's floor 9 iirc

"It's all up to you, Xiangling!"
>there are screams as she's kind of underleveled

I just noped and I'll be back with Diluc when he's ready

I mean she took a Cryo Regisvine all on her own!

good girl!

The things we do for farming..

my Xiangling is like level 25 because I only got her when I had Xinyan and Bennett already

n i c e

she's the only pyro I have apart from Amber..

Bennett is an absolute unit, but tbh I build him at first because it was the Dragonspine event and he had the quickest E cooldown to light the torches

if you get him, you have to build him. he can proc pyro, and his ult heals and buffs atk

me: /tries Xiangling
Guoba: /takes like 5 seconds finding the torch
everyone: /freezing
me: uh no

Yeeeeaeh Xiangling isn't the fastest torch lighter. I still end up using Amber if there's a speed challenge that involves torces.

but yes, I have every intention of building him if I get him.

Benny's a walking meme but at the same time he's one of those 4* who are a 6. just ny kind of son

상렬 on Twitter me at 4:00 am Wednesday

Preloaded and ready to go! time to do my dailies

this is the worst thing I've seen today

Lord pls no

I have all my farming done! his bow is lv 90, I have all the cecilias and turquoises and hurricane seeds and slimes for the 6 ascensions, and talent books and mats for 6/6/7

according to my spreadsheet, with the 300 of maintenance and the 90 of welkin I should have to reach 88 tonight. if he doesn't come home immediately, he will tomorrow or the day after. just a question of when

now the dumb rituals I'll do:

+ climb to the top of his statue and play a song
+ throw Noelle off the giant trunk of Wolvendom. blood for the blood wolf
+ drink apple cider and wolfhook juice bought from the bar
+ eat Barbatos ratatouille, hash browns, and apples

+ destroy 1 sweet madame. it has chicken (KFC = Noelle) and sweet flower (Sucrose)
+ stand exactly in the spot in Whispering Woods where we first see him and Dvalin
+ chanting "vente Venti vente Venti vente Venti" during the entire wishing

vente = (you) come here in Spanish

also, I maxed friendship with Razor today! hope it's a sign

I'm just gonna log out with Noelle on the hands of that giant statue in Mondstat. Pitch her off if the 23:48 one doesn't work.

lol

I have the commodity that she can only screw up one of my wishlist items and not the Big One

thus I'm pleading to wolf dad to stop her and give me wolf son

GOOD LUCK

but anyway, I wish you the best in your pulls

I'm liking these summoning circles

GOOD LUCKY TO YOU TOO FAUST

*-y

I might be able to make it to pity if I keep going @_@

you:

PRETTY MUCH

I WILL DRAG YOU HOME EVENTUALLY, VENTI /shakes fist

...maybe I should get some booze

irl or in game? the bar only sells you non-alcoholic cider

and a couple of juices

B/a I wonder if lychee beer works as a catalyst...

ffff fingers typing catalust THAT ISN'T IT

the day they make a husbando catalyst user, that word will catch up

I'm a little surprised it hasn't caught up in the FGO circles...

I'm surprised neither did here, with all the catalyst waifus

10778438 oh, they're giving 300 more primos so it's 600 for maintenance

aaaaand that's enough for the 90 pulls. GUESS HE'S COMING FOR ME TONIGHT

WHOO CONGRATS

I just need 15 more to pity if my calculations are correct! Should be doable within the banner duration, I think...

servers are up!!!

and the fucker came home on my second single pull (pull 35 total) after all those savings

and then I GOT c1??!!??

IS IT LIVE?!

it's useless but. thanks????

YUP

RUBS ON YOU A LITTLE FOR LUCK

GIB BIRB FIRST FIVE PLS

RUBS ALL THE LUCK

I'll work my butt off for 20 pulls anyway if he doesn't

I'll still pull for more Razor cons. got one in the end... then 2 Sucroses and 1 Noelle

the other fuckers at c5 now

the boys I want at c1!!

wtf, c1 Venti is pointless since he doesn't charge attack but. okay? for the flex?

FOR THE FLEX

I already have my pity plan in place o9 He will come home e v e n t u a l l y

nice

between the first and the second Venti were 11 pulls. WTF IS THIS LUCK

between the Xiao and the Diluc, 4

the game is compensating my 2 months of newbie suffering

XD I just feel like I'm being gacha taxed from FGO

updated list of characters I have and their cons (Noelle pls stop)

Oh man, someone was saying that using Ganyu for the shooting minigame would be a bad idea since the charged shot might hit the bad balloons. And then I realize... I can't use c1 Venti, he shoots 3 arrows

he's cheating during his own festival

at least he lost once thanks to his cat allergy Paimon on Twitter

people: fuck, they changed Xiao's climbing noises in Japanese and now he's moaning sensually
me, a Razor and Xiao main: ah, I can't escape awkward boy moans
Japanese Venti: /moaning when he dashes
me: stop, Mihoyo

oh no that's awk..

sexy climbing's a bit of a meme because Lisa moans too and dudes switch to her specifically to climb

yeah, I've seen climbing moan tier lists...

another joke is that Razor moans because Lisa's his electro teacher and she taught him

Oh my god Razor, child, pls..

ぷり on Twitter

🌌❄️ NOIR | Kaeya Simp | All❄️ on Twitter incredible

oho

with that he's c2

funny thing is, today's Noelle's bday. it would've been hilarious if the game trolled me and gave me her c6 today but no, she's chiling I imagine

hhhhh I loved the event. I loved hanging out with Venti so much. I loved seeing almost everyone from Mondstadt interacting with each other and it wasn't just in the trailer

I still need to do some hard scores and hard modes for the minigames, and do more Peculiar Wonderland, so I'm not done-done. I did buy my lyre and my commemorative balloon and all the talent books in store

and the free bow and its refinements, just in case I ever get a new archer who needs it. but eh, I have a stringless and a skyward harp for the archers I do use

also, both city events ended with you dating the local anemo immortal boy. beautiful

anyway, I've been waiting for this PLAYING THE BEST SONG EVER WITH WINDSONG LYRE! (SHAR...

I have 75 pulls on character banner and I'll try to stop now. c2 Venti would be so tempting and so broken, and I sure want more constellations for my sweet Razor, but

ZHONGLI BANNER

I'll have to save a lot of wishes anyway in case I lose the 50/50 though

lmao I maxed Sucrose constellations! my first c6

my RNG really likes anemo

my monthly 5 blue fates gave me c3 Xingqiu I've been using him in my freeze anemo combo comp and I've advanced on his build a bit (I'm leveling up Festering Desire for him atm) so this is pretty nice

and since I've been farming for a full crimson witch set, more power to his burst is hella nice

Tarantula banner: can I offer you Fischl cons?
me: /watches this in loop for 3 weeks 🔞 Tuna (👍 ´ω｀)👍 | Notifs off 📵 on Twitter

I want Fischl

I hope you get her you deserve her

also man, I don't want to brag but today's contending tides is super stupid with Venti and Fischl

just electrocute everything with her Q and then destroy everyone with kaze daaaaa

it's so stupid I put Xiao and Razor in the team just for resonance and they have no use there, the two disney princesses are doing all the work

saajksjkdasd Disney Princesses

I mean, Venti talks to animals. Fischl calls herself a princess and has a talking animal sidekick

IT'S TRUE

this is an actual official art that exists OST - Google Drive

FRIENDSHIP WITH XIAO

namecards are such a nice feature. the art is always really cool

me when leaks of the event: eh, Endora looks kinda weird
me now: come, daughter. time to take pictures with the boys and girls

I'm in danger! /ralphie.jpg

I'M NEARING MY NEXT PITY LET'S GO BIG DADDY ZHONG

Ohhhh so it's tomorrow still?

no, tomorrow is the official livestream with 1.5 news

I'll be going through my first 50/50 pain so let's gooo

Yeah I meant the livestream! XD; I'd miscalculated the time.

everyone using the internet/math to know when the stream will start lol

me going to Childe's boss fight on my boy Xiao's birthday but the bitch doesn't drop his mate-- WAIT, IS THAT. A CLAYMORE BILLET?!?

task failed successfully

my god, it's been 80 years

now this one I won't use to refine my proto animus. I'll build a new one because in this house we have way too many claymores

*claymore users

me: should I go for Liyue style or Mondstadt style for my Serenitea Pot house? such a hard choice
Tubby: madame Ping told me you're a Venti simp so here's a fancy mansion for him
me: FUCK

I've never felt more Seen by an item description in my life. also, is the adeptus Venti visiting Zhongli or Xiao?? /xiaoven trash

Dimbreath on Twitter well fuck, 5* pirate samurai anemo boy

oh no my next 90 is a 50/50 if this is gonna be the banner after Eula

we don't know yet I think? the Inazuma princess, Ayaka, has been leaked and in the works for months. but then again, since she'll be in the Inazuma plot and she's so hyped, that's why they're not releasing her yet

oh sweet. Plenty of time to build pity back up

also holding out for Scaramouche banner

but if it's true that we're going to Inazuma by Beidou's Crux like people theorize, this cute dude might pop in the plot as well

and much sooner than Ayaka

I imagine Scaramouche should be back for Inazuma since he seems to be from there but Fatui are so weird and it doesn't mean he'll be playable. like, Signora isn't playable either yet

in any case, Kazuha seems play style wise to be all anemo characters in a blender in the hopes of powercreep CC yet again?

hhhhhh just 2 days and a half for big dong Zhong

I'm already concocting an overcomplicated ritual yet again

gib Zhong nao

I can probably keep saving after Zhong. Hold out for Scara or Albedo or heaven forbid they put up a Diluc banner

I'm not sure what I'll do next tbh

Just save up the primos just in case!

no yeah, I mean who I'll go for next. it depends on the next news on characters. Eula tempts me because I need better cryo, but she's more physical so idk

yeah, there might be someone down the line who catches your attention.

HHHHH I'm so sick of Noelle! there's absolutely some guy in Mihoyo who has a maid fetish and is pushing his fave onto us at every chance hoping we'll end up maining her, because at this point it's not fucking normal

it's not even just the banners, the most boring hangout is getting a fucking sequel when characters like Beidou or Xinyan haven't even been introduced canonically to the player yet, BUT BY ALL MEANS YOU MUST ADORE NOELLE

I'm gonna get the c6 in this banner and there's nothing I can do to avoid it hhhhh

anyway,

it continues the Dain quest oh god. what fresh horror are we learning from Zhongli in this quest

YEAH OH GOD NO MORE NOELLE PLS

oh god is she on the banner

YUP. it's Yanfei, Diona, and her AGAIN

U G H

This is like the second banner she's been on already!

Genshin Impact Memes on Twitter

5th if you count the beginner's banner

y e a h. Specially that. A random 4 star would be way better than being saddled with Noelle, imho.

though I guess she rounds out the elements..

she doesn't because Ningguang is also geo and people were expecting her to be the 4* geo in Zhongli's banner for months. and the excuse it's because she gets a hangout in this update is bullshit since Bennett and Chongyun didn't get featured in 1.4

someone in Mihoyo just has a boner for Noelle and he should step up and admit it

they do like to pepper "free" units in banners like Barbara and Xiangling but they usually spread them much better than this?

MY HANDS WERE SHAKING BUT HE'S HOME

Yanfei also came home, c1

...and Noelle c6, and Diona c6

BUT YEAH. I'm going to bed in bliss because the man, the myth, the legend

NICE

MY TURN!

GOOD LUCK

my account on January vs my account today. dreams do come true

my god, I got so many dupe Dionas I was able to get enough starglitter to buy a RAZOR CONSTELLATION

- on Twitter me with housing even down to choosing cool isle and farming trees with Zhong

I'm 69 pulls in so I'm probably getting another pity on this banner. I'm taking my chances for c1 Zhongli. if I get anyone else it's fine, because I'll have guaranteed for the next banner (Klee? Kazuha? haven't decided yet)

so um. I got into pity at the American account and trying to speed the process I do some adventurer's book tasks to get a reward, including a blue fate. so I pull and I get gold! it's Lost Prayers and I have no offensive catalyst user so lol

but since 5* give you 10 starglitter, I bought 2 more wishes for character banner

anyway, gold again and won 50/50?! I'm a Zhongli haver once again??

well okay then

that account has terrible luck for 4and godsent (literally) luck for 5

for 4*
