Let's be real, hyv is scared of bipoc and strong, thick, muscular and/or fat women. The variety we get in the male models is insane but we only have short and skinny woman or tall and skinny woman with huge boobs. It's one of my biggest gripes with genshin and makes me feel even worse when you've got characters like Candace, Beidou, and Dehya that look like that.
Thank god the fan artists come through and give them the body types we all know they have. Also I'm sorry I'm blowing up your inbox I just have very strong feelings on this --
DEADASS. especially the representation in sumeru?????? it’s so frustrating that consumers of the game tell them, over and over, that they want more representation in the game and over and over it’s ignored. hoyo has been in the industry long enough and it is enough of an international company that representation should be something they take seriously and answer to. but they don’t, because they stick with the same dry formula that sells.
it’s the same with the female designs. they keep putting them in near-lingerie and don’t bother giving them decent backstories because they know people will whale for them because they’re hot. i get it, they’re a company and the point is to make revenue, but it is so frustrating that they don’t listen to such a large portion of their consumers.
and it is such a shame because it really is a beautiful storyline. it’s so clear they put so much effort into the research and weaving all the plot lines together. but then a massive chunk of their characters are just after thoughts and it absolutely puts a shadow over everything they’ve built.

Prompt 286
Danny doesn’t think his eyes have ever been so wide, half cradled as he was against the ghost of time, who was… much larger than he was when he had met him. Not as big as the ghost king, at least in height or bulk, but, he didn’t know, longer? Give him a break, he was exhausted and injured!
“Clockwork,” the ghost rasped, standing to their full height as an unreadable expression crossed over corpse-pale skin. “You look… well…”
“Don’t you ‘look well’ me, Pariah Dark!” Clockwork spat, his cloak mostly covering Danny and look, he couldn’t help but to curl closer, it was nice and he was tired! It was soft, and warm, like what he thinks silk might maybe feel like, and comforting like a blanket straight out of the dryer.
He blinked away dizziness, pausing in his idly petting of the bit of cloak in his hand when he realized he had missed a bit of the… argument? Conversation? It wasn’t a fight yet, but he wasn’t going to throw it out as a possibility. Ugh, his everything ached.
“I saw all that you could become, all that you would become,” the time ghost’s claws- didn’t he have gloves before- gripped at his hair, crimson eyes practically smoldering.
Danny looked between the two like he was watching a football game, eyes wide beneath his bangs and mouth parted in a small o of verging realization over what he was hearing.
“And somehow-” Clockwork threw his hands up, cloak flaring from the motion. “I still fell in love with you like an idiot!”

i once thought i was misremembering how light kristoph's skin was because i saw someone say something like no one ever draws him as dark as he is in the game and i got worried i was drawing him too pale. so i tested it out. biggest surprise here is that phoenix (who i thought was pretty tan) is actually about the same value as apollo and kristoph

I want to get into more media bc sometimes I feel like a broken record. But... urhm. Sometimes I feel some of it looks samey?
Like. Pale, male dominated, looking. I'll go to a game store and see if I like anything and the covers look the same to me 😭
And I feel bad bc it's probably good media. But. The designs aren't doing it for me.
