your unpopular opinion post reminded me that I realized recently that a lot of collei mains tend to prefer sibling cyno, tighnari, and collei - whereas cyno and tighnari mains tend to lean towards cynari with collei as their daughter

there are exceptions ofc, since everyone has different perceptions of the dynamics, but it's such an interesting split and I thought I'd ask if you've ever observed anything similar? :0

thats such an interesting observation! cant say if i have observed anything similar, seeing as i dont really interact w the genshin community at large and havent played the game itself in months, but i see the basis for this as a generalization! in that like, collei mains as ppl who center collei might be more inclined to see her relationship to cynonari as siblingesque i.e. all of them on equal standing, as opposed to their counterparts who might be more inclined to dote on her. theres a kinda fun self projection/almost roleplay aspect in analyzing trends between ppl & the characters they main, its fun

i will say though, i was actually a dedicated tighnari main for the longest time! i did make both a phys + dendro support build for collei, but she was never a mainstay on any of my regular teams, i mostly included her whenever i wanted to see her... a lot of my collei favoritism actually originates From my having been a tighnari main/him being my original favorite; i got invested into fleshing him out and imagining more of his daily life/background and that by necessity meant that collei would be heavily involved. and then i started actually reading the content that involved collei. and then it all went downhill from there
