Alva's skin is extremely orientalist, it's not a good skin to support. It's a complete caricature of Middle Eastern clothing with no research put in, in the middle of a highly racist essence that's part 2 of another racist essence
Putting this up because anon makes a good point here.
As much as I love Alva to death I will not be pulling on this essence because of the implications of the “theme”. This is not the first time netease has pulled this shit and definitely isn’t the last. I’m mad that his first A tier has to be in THIS context (and antiquarian too like wtf you guys)
So moral of the story:
Got excited over Alva’s A tier: yes
Pulling for it?: no because netease sucks ass and cant stop being racist for five minutes
Letting you all know I’m not dead but college has been kicking my ass I have requests from JANUARY in my box I still gotta answer I WILL I PROMISE ALVA NATION WONT DIE
Today is another fine day to be an Alva fan because guess fucking what
See that? See that everyone? Alva Lorenz is voiced by the legend himself, Kenjiro Tsuda. I don’t know where or when his voice is used but if anyone, ANYONE finds it please please hit me up I’ll kiss you so hard
