Yall do realize to be as high rank, rich, and to win even somewhat consistently/be good at gambling, you can't just have great luck-
Youd have to have a *damn good* understanding of statistics, reading people (especially body language), and psychology (yes, including how to abuse it to manipulate people and get what you want)
And to do all that without a formal education? That takes some SERIOUS fucking work/skill
So stop calling aventurine stupid or "low iq"
Theres a damn good reason ratio- mister i cant stand looking at idiots- wasnt wearing his plaster head around aventurine, and it's because he isnt fucking stupid
And if aventurine is playing stupid, you should be fucking worried.

Playing genshin after the new hsr quest is like someone wrapping you in a warm blanket and giving you hot chocolate.

Aventurine kept getting microaggressions whats with that like not just in relation to his race but seemingly his sexuality??? Sparkle really looked at him and asked him if he stripped naked and got on his knees for Sunday like HUH

aventurine is romani, apparently! i hope hoyo doesn't fuck up his writing, because 2.0 just came out and there's already racist dialogue against him (although it was prob intended to make the player uncomfortable.)
also possible origins of the word "Sigonian," from r/HonkaiStarRail/about_aventurine and tweet from scawamoochi
also check out thesilverhunt3r's post and its reblogs
more rambling - minor spoilers below
i can't wait for his sad backstory & probably-very-important role in the main story & for the other characters to start appreciating him more. i'm a little delusional BUT IT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN TO SOME EXTENT
despite aventurine seeming just as sketchy as the other characters, i think he's a deliberate red herring (compared to: acheron, who's initially presented as trustworthy but is later revealed to be not what she seems. black swan, who offers to help the astral express crew, but doesn't tell them that she made a deal with aventurine involving them. firefly, who deliberately hides her past from trailblazer and repeatedly says she's NOT a stowaway... although that one wasn't hard to see through.)
aventurine has been surprisingly upfront with us. i'm sure he will still deceive us at one point, but in contrast to the aforementioned examples, i think he'll do it for the greater good of penacony. or at least... some kind of greater good? okay definitely getting delusional here since he's not very interested in heroics. but WE WILL SEE
i can't wait to make a full gambling team with aventurine + silver wolf + qingque + free slot?
