HE'S A VIRGIN! IT'S FUCKING GENIUS! CUT THE CHECK!
How are the residents of New Hyrule taking Spirit's current disappearance?
Spirit's train was found abandoned with a note that literally just said: I'm not missing. I'll be back. -Link
(Spirit definitely does not want people speculating too much about his disappearance again, but he also does not want to give any personal details about himself in the process).
Linebeck III is fucking fed up that his business partner is pulling this bullshit A SECOND TIME. He will not shut up about it. When Spirit comes back, they are going to have some Words.
Zelda is appropriately worried that he's doing something incredibly self-destructive, but there's not much she can do.
Niko is surprisingly chill about the whole thing. (Niko made the mistake of thinking Spirit's original disappearance was his adventure with the Chain that he had heard from Wind, so he's happy to see that Spirit is finally getting to meet his Great Uncle.) (And hey, maybe meeting other heroes will straighten him out.)
This time around, word around the kingdom is that Spirit went on an extended vacation. Only the most dedicated sleuths believe that he may have gone missing again.
Thinking about the time Tom Holland spoiled the date and poster for Infinity War 'unintentionally', even though it was very clearly a bit done by a professional actor... and even still poorly at that! Just look at how he dramatically has the CONFIDENTIAL DO NOT SHARE facing the camera, only to turn it over to look at it, flipping it back upside down while pretending to read it...
If I had a nickel for every time isagi caused an established couple to break up dramatically by simply existing near them, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
My guy might not be the world's best striker yet, but he's certainly the world's best homewrecker
ANYWAY now that ive gotten my firefly rant off my chest and on a more positive note about the story overall; i Really liked it!!!! and character-wise specifically the biggest surprise for me in a huge W way was actually acheron??
& given i was actually somewhat committed to pulling her anyway (well. initially as kafka replacement to pull my first lightning carry after losing 50-50 but. Well. she had mercy on me at the v last moment thank goodness 😭😭) so actually ending up liking her character this much just cemented that resolve for good too. cant wait for her!!! like i am still meh on her base design not bc its that bad by itself but simply bc seeles existence just cheapens it so much like. Why are they so similar. but its not bad lmao
anyway to her actual characterization. first of all. the VAs delivery omg yall beidous english voice is already one of my all time favorites in genshin and shes doing an amazing job as acheron like. she started talking and im just INSTANTLY warmed up to her just from that KDJSKDKJK i love love love her attitude and energy!!!!!
n personality wise too??? like ive seen others mention a similar sentiment but its just the way how. even after getting the warnings from now Two separate characters that shes up to no good. im just like. "nah id win" abt it SHSKDKSI like throughout the story she comes off as so damn likeable and grounded and realistically friendly (as in not like. too open n aligned w the player from the get-go to feel believable for the character as opposed to a plot contrivance) that i just. even if shes bad news im team acheron truly.
she has genuinely funny one liners too ??? like not necessarily jokes outright but the kinda comments she says are just . very realistic in that dry witty way that comes off as natural and entertaining shes so charming!!! i love her. the more contemplative stuff she says too
but also like. girl whats up w the ominous red text ily but are we cool 😭😭 and the whole shredding us into thin slices on first encounter in the dreamscape like. Ok uhhhhhhhh ik i said nah id win and team acheron forever but this is kinda. worrisome
BUT that just means im so fucking excited to see her go apeshit too lmao like. oh shes an emanator here to do murder and spread death? COOL i hope she has fun!!
(and ik i said firefly rant over but. what the actual hell is that post firefly merk dialogue option where the games like very heavy handedly implying ur supposed to be blaming ACHERON for "letting it happen" in some emotional frenzy???? bro what 💀💀 0/5 moment i would never. n even if she plausibly did im just. dude her being cold towards firefly is just a plus for me when the narrative has just railroaded the TB into being sooo charmed by her magical presence lmao i Liked that acheron was suspicious n cold)
overall Definitely wasnt expecting acheron to establish herself as such an instant favorite for sure but. shes here now and im v happy abt it im super looking forward to seeing those more dubious goals of her come to the forefront in the future like. im so curious about whats up w her and her memory and that red text and everything
