HSR THOUGHTS:

—————————

Topaz and Guinafen: Topaz’s Apple White Syndrome vs Guinafen’s Lore and Experience.

————

This thought came to me when I added these two on a team together.

Diving right in, Apple White Syndrome is a name I’ve given to Characters who were or are under very specific and rare conditions in which they benefit or are benefited, and pressure others to follow suit in belief it is for the greater good, but it in reality puts others in far more suffering, and only benefits a select few if lucky.

Another Character who can be used as an example for this is Riddle Rosehearts pre-Overblot, but in a far more distant way.

Topaz’s world was saved by the IPC because their demand was that everyone, everyone in an entire world agreed to join them. Those odds are horrendously slim, but by sheer luck, everyone did agree. Because of this, the IPC did comply and save them, leading Topaz to believe the IPC and its work is actually good for the people.

Guinafen suffered immensely because of the IPC, when her world was completely destroyed by the Antimatter Legion, before her parents death, they sent, her, her siblings and ONE trusted family friend to be their legal guardian, and shipped them away to safety.

They landed on a mining planet taken over by the IPC.

After explaining their situation and expecting rescue or relief, not only did the IPC do absolutely nothing, they put those old enough to work in forced labor camps, lowkey slavery and even with that, the younger children who couldn’t work were under horrendous circumstances, living in a cave, given little to no payment; food or basic necessities, to the point the youngest often fought over lizards to eat. Directly after loosing everything and being stranded, they were immediately put through more shit. No mercy.

(Pre- existing Residents of this planet faced these conditions aswell, but possibly still had their homes)

The adult later passed on due to physical strain and exhaustion. Aka worked to death. Her three eldest brothers then turned to (space) piracy as a way of survival, they were later captured and executed, but pleaded safety for the youngest.

This lead to her arrival on the Xianzhou, Later meeting Sushang, who gave her the name Guinafen (her real name is Guinevere)

Working up from nothing, basically homeless and preforming on the street, got involved with a major government and supernatural conspiracy, then later becoming a planet famous social media influencer.

I think because of her experience, Guinafen would be the perfect person to knock some sense into Topaz.

Guinafen would most definitely take her by surprise, because of her naturally cheery nature, happy go lucky attitude and the fact she chose to move on. She’s the type of person who has either moved on, or created a mask even Sparkle would applaud at to cover that pain.

I think it’s majorly the former. She has chosen to continue life as best she can, restart from nothing.

This woman was once a noble, practically princess, of a world and planet now nonexistent. Someone who has become common passerby’s with Death, Dined with Thrist, Danced with Starvation and was cradled by Misery, but she made it out alive.

As a normal person in the Honkai Verse, When you see her online, filming ghost videos, or in the streets doing tricks, you’d never be able to guess that, would you?

I can imagine Topaz wouldn’t clock this, as most wouldn’t. I can imagine Topaz continuously praising the IPC for their help with her planet somehow in conversation, and Guinafen keeping her temper for a good while, pointing out certain things that seem extensively situational, but if it goes on for too long, she might, and has every right to snap.

I was thinking of it similarly to the scene in Ever After High where Apple is continuously stating how everyone should follow their destiny’s, and is happy Raven agreed to sign, and Briar, rightfully, snaps.

“Follow our destiny’s? Thats easy for you to say, Apple. You get poisoned for what, a week? I’m going to loose 100 years of my life. Everyone I love will be dead when I wake up.”

-Briar Beauty (Quote from memory so might not be as accurate)

That scene in particular. I think it would be actually amazing for Sushang, Seele or Bronya to be there aswell, given the entirety of the Belabog incident and the Aurem Alley issues. Just get someone to force her to really see the real effects of the IPC, as she actually possesses the ability to change some of it for the better.

“Look, I’m glad the IPC saved your planet, really, thats great for you, but you can’t tell me they are good people.

Good people don’t immediately take advantage of refugees who just lost everything, especially when only one of them is an adult.

Good people don’t let children get so hungry they fight over lizards like wild animals.

Good people don’t work the only adult with those children to death and leave them to fend for themselves, then get angry and pin the blame on them when they turn to piracy to survive.

Besides, did you ever stop to realize or think about the fact that they probably thought there was no way everyone would agree to that? They would get people forced to work for them either way, by their own will or against it.”

I don’t know alot about Topaz, so somethings on her side might be inaccurate, but I’ve read through all of Guinafens lore, and DAMN, shits sad. Her and Aventurine be traumabonding on my team trust.

Anyway, thats just some thoughts!

Since y’all liked my adeuce as Jedediah and Octavius heres a second version, since I’m in Greece, it’s Mamma Mia.

I won’t explain anything, its just their dynamic.

IM GLAD YOU LIKE IT :D

Heyo! Its Che’nya Anon again!

So I’ve been seeing your Deity AU and my brain is back again to put it into a Open World RPG (+ Hidden Otome Routes obviously ) Format!

Why? Maybe I’m insane, probably. Is it obvious I relate to Idia a shit ton? Anyway, Here goes:

—-

Your journey begins in a big town, not big enough for a city, exactly, but not overly obsolete.

Many different ecosystems exist nearby, strangely enough. flower filled wildlands, A Savanna, the Ocean side, a small desert, a beautiful forest, and more.

By interacting with NPC’s, or just running around the map, you can find Shrines.

If you choose to have NPC’s tell you rumors, each NPC respectfully tells their own.

After all, history is often jumbled as it passes through time.

The Lawyer and the Gambler speak of four, or perhaps five shrines in the flowery wonderland—Ah, I mean Wildland. Some even say a sixth exists, but it could be not all there itself anymore, y’know?

If you manage to get on their good side, the Gym Trainer and A Man in the Alley tell of Ruins lost to the Savanna’s Sand. Some even say a Prince with ears of a Lion resides in one.

Perhaps the Merchant and the Fisherman may tell of Shrines that the ocean breeze always reaches…er..or so they heard. Oh! Before you leave, would you like to buy the catch of the day? Its Shrimp, if you’re interested.

Ask the Bank Teller or the Snake Caretaker, and they may share a tale of two shrines among the desert sands. Some say an amassment of treasure lies within one. A Cave of Wonders, if you will.

Ponder about the shrines to the Farmer or the Hairdresser, and they might tell you about something they heard going around the block, apparently, a shrine dedicated to a Deity of Beauty lies deep within the woods.

Find the Gamer, the Mechanic or the Miner, and if you’re lucky, they’ll show you a lead to a long forgotten underground shrine. I mean, if you’re walking down to hell, might aswell find a rest stop, right?

Finally, the Historian with Strange Red eyes may just mention a set of shrines up the mountain where many are too frightened to go. A lonely deity sits at the top. Or so they say, not like he would 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 know, my dear.

Now, grabbing a few things before, you embark on your journey.

In the Wildlands, the first shrine’s you likely happen upon are a set of two.

The Deity of Mischief and Righteousness, and The Deity of Honesty and, once, if rumors held true, Hand to Hand Combat aswell.

Both shared one thing they ruled upon: Loyalty. Or so the near destroyed inscription says

When you enter, it’s quite easy to notice certain differences. One side has a Cool Palette, Blues and Greys, While the other bombards the eye with Reds and Oranges. Both have Black running down the middle and edges, proving the shrines building to be one in the same.

Ah! One thing, dear player: Everytime you clean a temple, Set (Correct to Deity) Offerings, and light an incense or two, you gain one of three..

Oh, hm, strange, Did you set it to 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 romantic route for most? No? Ah, Must be a Glitch.

Anywhom, you gain Affection, Loyalty and Favor points. Certain deities will only physically appear once you reach certain levels of each, all differing dependent on the deity.

If I may, just another quick tip, I promise, I would recommend using whatever clues you may find to choose wisely on which offerings and scents of incense you bring, you can loose or gain extra points with this.

So, back to our travels, These two have the easiest set to earn the points, and their physical blessings can be quite useful to reach the other temples and Shrines. Sharper Reflexes and Stamina respectively.

Ace, you soon learn, is as his title suggests, a mischief maker, where as his Counterpart, Deuce, is more straightforward and kind.

Whenever you show at the shrine, Deuce is immediately at your side, like a loyal canine friend, whereas Ace takes his sweet time, lounging around, quite like a cat.

Both often spend time trying to earn your favor (and possibly attention) while you’re there, usually ending in bickering or teasing with you as the rope in their tug of war.

Sometimes, you’ll see a German Shepherd and its Fox..cat..thing(???) Companion following you around town while you run errands, getting into little squabbles here and there, leaving you to break them up.

The two deities got strangely sheepish when you mentioned they reminded you of them, but maybe it’s nothing.

Oh! Perhaps try keeping the two of spades and ace of hearts cards they gift you in your pocket, it may prove useful to summon them outside of the shrine if you’re in need of help, or just simply a fun day of hijinks.

The next shrine is located much further off from the others, the cerulean glow of the night sky framing it by the time you make your way there.

The Deity of Vocal Influence and Masks, often prayed to in hopes of success in public speech, important discussions or trade deals.

Once you enter, it seems gloomy before you turn the flashlight from your phone on.

Marble white pillars with diamond symbols hold the falling temple together, and if you listen close, perhaps you may hear a guitar, playing a solemn tune.

Unfortunately, this version of the shrine you may only see once per play through. After this, the Deity’s llusion will take affect.

As you finish cleaning and setting your incense and offering, the weariness brought by your travel here gets to you, and a short nap turns into an overnight stay in the hollowness of the shrine.

Once you awaken, the shrine brims with light, its gloomy atmosphere now replaced by a cheeriness that feels unnatural, or maybe thats just the mold speaking.

Cater, you may just learn, will appear in any photo you take, even if the shrine itself has not reached a reveal level yet. If you leave a camera as an offering, you will find it filled with many beautiful photos, and a selfie of his here and there.

He is a charismatic deity, joking around, discussing many things yet nothing all at once, and quite loves to hear of whatever modern drama, celebrity or otherwise, you can find. Play a drama movie or show on your phone and bring a snack to share. He’ll likely be more invested in it than you are by the end of your visit.

You’ll soon discover you may just be better at talking to others then before, or find diamond themed items to bring you good luck.

Oh and, Is it just me, or has that orange hare always followed you to work? No? Huh, weird.

If you smell a sweet, freshly baked dessert like smell while traveling, or a bear seemingly trying to lead you somewhere, follow it, and you’ll find a shrine almost camouflaged amongst the trees.

Clover’s surround the inside and out, and the Deity of the Hearth surely knows how to make the shrine feel homey.

The greens and browns bring an almost earthy feel to it, large oak trees piecing through the cracks in the walls, and an old kitchen far in the back.

Strangely, there seems to be a freshly baked treat, your favorite, waiting for you the day after you clean up the shrine and leave your first offering.

It tastes nostalgic, in a way. As if you were experiencing it for the first time again. You speak a thanks out loud to what you see as nothing, but don’t worry, it was heard.

You’ll see many bears around the area, but there is nothing to fear.

If anything, they are quite helpful, bringing you the broom you couldn’t seem to find, giving you a small bouquet of clovers, showing you where a recipe book just perfectly fitting your tastes seemed loosely buried, or letting you rest your weary head on their soft fur.

If someone were to bear (ha) any ill intent towards you, following you through the woods, whether you are aware or not, these bears will not be as kind.

Soon, you will meet their guardian, and the Deity of this Shrine: Trey.

He’s caring, always willing to listen to your woes, and give advice, or lend a hand. With housework for example, or uh, well it seems like it was him, anyway. How else did the dishes get done on their own, or the fresh ingredients find their way onto the kitchen counter?

Originally, you may struggle to open the largest of the shrines, but look to its shadow, and you’ll find an arrow pointing up a tree.

On that tree, a Grinning Bobcat leisurely lays in the shade, coax it down, and it will lead you to an upside down shrine.

The Deity of the Shrine resides over Reality and Illusion, rumored to be one of the most powerful, yet tricky deities to deal with.

Trippy is truly the only way to describe this shrine, it’s almost difficult to believe yourself sober once you waltz in, furniture upon the walls and ceiling, arrows pointing in every which directions, fake doors, and finally, hypnotic swirls of lavender, baby blue and bright pops of magenta that end up leaving your poor eyes in pain.

Many, I mean MANY feline creatures have taken host to this shrine, from the small tabby to even..is that actually a Cheetah? Nope, you must be seeing things.

Cats will soon become part of your daily life, whether you’re a fan or not. You never realized just how many stray cats live in your area until now, as they’re following you around in a mass group or watching from the shadows.

Sometimes, you’ll find one bringing you a wad of cash from who knows where just when you didn’t have the money for a snack, or someone who was a tad too rude to you showing up with more cat scratches then one could count the next day.

Che’nya, or Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker, if you were able to catch that, is just as strange as his shrine, often giving you a riddle or two the second you walk in, and dropping a cat pun in nearly every conversation.

Sometimes, he’ll appear behind you and spook you, catching you before you hit the ground while laughing happily, fluffy tail leisurely wrapping around your torso.

Eventually, He’ll help you to the entrance of the large shrine, only to vanish into thin air the next moment.

The final shrine of the wildlands has Osiria Roses growing in crevices and corners, but despite the elegant roses, cute hedgehogs and gold trimmed pillars, the air within the shrine exerts a feeling of pressure and raw power upon first entry.

You have entered the Shrine of the Deity of Order, you do not know the rules here, but you must abide by them. Tread Carefully.

One of the most difficult shrine to earn points for, but one of the easiest to earn a reveal level for as unlike the others, no, a simple clean and offering will not do, and if you do it purposefully wrong, he’ll reveal himself intending to tell you off, then seemingly thinking better of it, vanishing once more.

Although he has reflected in his many years of solitude, some habits are simply hard to break. So work with him a little.

He’s one of the surprisingly shyer deities, sending a flamingo to deliver you letters and a rose instead of talking to you directly in the beginning. As you send them to and fro, you slowly learn more about him, and with a little time, you will learn his name.

Riddle. A strange name, but everyone in the wildlands is strange, really.

Sometimes, he’ll join you in tending to the hedgehogs, telling each name he gave them, or read aloud to you if you bring a book, sometimes dropping his own commentary on the protagonist if they sufficiently annoy him enough.

Should you run into any legal issues, and happen to offhandly mention this, you seemingly are always dealt the winning hand, per se.

Be it your bad boss, an ex-lover, or even someone with more money then sense, if they can be found guilty of any crime, they will be.

(This is getting kind of long and it’s near midnight in my timezone, so I’ll cut it off here for now! I referenced some of the fics you wrote aswell! I might write more of this in your inbox if you’re ok with that! Enjoy : D )

“It’s the end of the world and you’re gonna get your drink on with a Sherly fucking Temple?”

(-Ted Spankoffski)

(When I tell you I was imagining The Guy who Didn’t like Musicals quotes for alot of the Glomas Climax)

Also I now NEED To have Floyd sing Who Will Pray For Me. I NEED IT

ALSO FOR SOME STRANGE REASON I CAN ALSO IMAGINE INCREDIBLY WELL ACE SINGING RICHARD’S PART INSTEAD OF IDIA BUT I CANT IMAGINE ACE AS RICHARD AT ALL, IDIAS JUST TOO PERFECT OF A FIT FOR RICHARD.

Also Man Down Happens in the school cafeteria, and One or two Dorms sing a different part of the whispers.

Heartstabyl: “Somethings got its hands on the Hatchet Handle…”

Octavinelle: “Swinging on the Youth its a Hatchet Scandal!”

Savanaclaw: “Careful or your folks might end up on a Cannibals Plate!”

All: “It ain’t great!”

Ignihyde/Pomfieore : “You’re better on the run than you are hiding….”

Scarabia/Diasomnia: “Suddenly this quiet town’s exciting….”

(Not stating which but I’m been writing a fic and I’ve referenced the guy who hated musicals twice and only one person got the reference so far lol)

Hello Twisted Wonderland community. I have no clue if any of you enjoy Starkid, but this is for the small group of you who do, I humbly present this:

Twisted Wonderland Characters as Hatchetfield Characters

This is for the three main musicals (The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, Black Friday, Nerdy Prudes Must Die). I thought about doing Nightmare Time as well, but there's so many extra characters that I really didn't wanna bother lol. I'm gonna do this like they do it for the musicals, so some of the characters will have multiple roles. However, I might do some recasting depending on the musical, so they might not be consistent throughout the three.

The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals:

Paul Matthews: Idia Shroud

Bill Woodward: Trey Clover

Ted Spankoffski/Homeless Guy: Ace Trappola

Emma Perkins: Jamil Viper

Prof Hidgens: Lilia Vanrouge

Charlotte/Nora/Deb: Vil Schoenheit

Greenpeace Girl/Alice/Zoe: Cater Diamond

Sam Sweetly/Mr. Davidson/General MacNamara: Floyd Leech

Black Friday:

Tom Houston: Trey Clover

Becky Barnes: Cater Diamond

Lex Foster: Ace Trappola

Ethan Green/Chris Kringle: Deuce Spade

Hannah Foster/Tim Houston: Ortho Shroud

Uncle Wiley: Lilia Vanrouge

Wiggly/Gary Goldstein: Floyd Leech

Linda Monroe: Vil Schoenheit

Sherman Young: Idia Shroud

General MacNamara: Sebek Zigvolt

Frank Pricley: Azul Ashengrotto

President Howard Goodman: Rook Hunt

Nerdy Prudes Must Die:

Peter Spankoffski: Trey Clover

Stephanie Lauter: Cater Diamond

Richard Lipschitz/Wiggly: Idia Shroud

Ruth Flemming/Blinky: Kalim Al-Asim

Max Jagerman: Floyd Leech

Karen Chastity/Miss Tessburger/Nibbly/Stacey: Lilia Vanrouge

Solomon Lauter/Pokey/Jason: Jack Howl

Mark Chastity/Officer Bailey/Tinky: Rook Hunt

Detective Shapiro/Brenda: Jamil Viper

Some of these are stretches at best, but I tried. Most of these are serious attempts at casting, but a couple are just because I thought they would be silly. And, again, shoutout to the three Twst fans who also like Starkid; this is for y'all.
