I Was Hoping To Save A Lot For Arlecchino’s Banner Knowing How Botched My Luck Has Been In Genshin
i was hoping to save a lot for arlecchino’s banner knowing how botched my luck has been in genshin gacha since fontaine opened but my mind just couldn’t stop thinking about chiori and how much i really saved up for her (before knowing that arle will arrive at 4.5 okay!!) and how much i want to have her because of her dolls so i decided to check my limited banner history and pulled a 10-pull on a whim and oH MY GOD??!!!!?
BBG ACTUALLY CAME HOME WHEN I LEAST EXPECTED TO WIN MY 50/50 ₊*ˈ˚·(๑˃̶̡̢̥ ॣಐ ॣ˂̶̡̢̥๑)·˚ˈ*₊
i didn’t expect i’ll actually have it that easy (?) since i got nahida from the last banner (nahida was guaranteed because i lost my 50/50 pulling for navia) BUT SHE’S FINALLY HOME!! ₊*ˈ˚·(๑˃̶̡̢̥ ॣಐ ॣ˂̶̡̢̥๑)·˚ˈ*₊ the last time i was this lucky with my pulls was on ayato’s, yelan’s, cyno’s, and alhaitham’s first banners. after that everything just went downhill, i guess (except the guaranteed ones ofc).
her team animation is also so cool, too! (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧ so sleek!
now that i have chiori, my art department is complete (freminet is their youngest member). no elemental reactions, only art ¡¡¡( •̀ ᴗ •́ )و!!! i also realized that all of them are sword users (claymores are swords, after all?) so exploration-wise, this team’s also bad, but i can always work around that for the love of my weird team comps (4ggravate is probably the least weirdest of them all).
i’ve yet to level her up more and build her more because i need some fodder to feed the artifacts i have for her and more adventure books, too, as i’ve spent them a lot recently on nahida and layla (for my shatterbloom team, ofc. anything for kaveh, my love and my light) before i send her to battle, ofc. her split scaling still confuses me, but i’ll learn it well eventually, ofc. it’s too bad that the only weapon i have suitable for her because of it’s defense substat is the traveler’s handy sword. it’s also somehwat fashion impact (i credit jeikage for that one) on her, thankfully.
oh, and besides getting chiori in her banner, i also managed to pull my favourite husband in a single pull while trying to get her (TvT \)
my kaveh is now C1, and though it’s not impressive for all, it’s alright because all i want as a casual genshin enjoyer is to complete my favourite husbands’ constellations (for the four stars ofc, like kaveh and thoma) unless they’re five stars because that’s too pricey already (T^T \)
now i can proceed with the character story quests i’ve left since the highly emotional 4.2 archon quest! wuw.

my preservation girlie era will not be a dream anymore after winning the 50/50 in the light cone banner this patch ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡)
i wish my genshin pulls are this lucky too ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡)
reuploaded my timely kaveh fanart because i wasn’t happy with the quality earlier, though this also needs some work post-processing wise (i will say it looks closer to how it looks like irl). anyway, happy birthday kaveh, the best husband ✨
one of the things i spent so much time, and really enjoyed working on during this entire penacony arc is the sticker book that comes with the dreamscape pass. i love collecting stickers, journalling, and making collages so of course i spent a good amount of time doing my best to collect the stickers for each page when time permits me, and whenever i don’t feel like finishing the backlogs (the number is a ridiculous amount as a somewhat casual hsr player) just so i can curate each page dutifully.
anyway, some of the pages aren’t complete with all the stickers yet, so have some that i’ve completed and truly like a lot!
i’ve only started the most recent trailblaze mission a few mights ago, but ended up falling asleep in the middle of the mission (T^T ) that said, my goal is to finish it before the week ends so i can once again check on my soc med accounts and not spoil myself about how things will unfold.
yk part of why i did go back to tumblr was so i could have another platform to talk about the games i obsess with (animal crossing new horizons and genshin impact then) instead of posting about it on my ig stories since not all of my friends are into those kinds of content and as much as i use instagram more than i do facebook, it's not really suited for long posts 😅
so yes, i guess i should really talk more about the current games i play, and it's not a lot.
i'll tag it under farts to keep up with art, fart, heart.
changed kemeroot’s island flag from usagyun pixel art to kaveh’s friendship namecard earlier, and i realized i wanted to make more of these when time permits me (i’m already thinking about making one of thoma’s and wriothesley’s because next best husbands also deserve slots in my custom designs!). anyway, i’m happy with the way it turned out.
maybe i’ll change my island tune, too, when i’m feeling a little hardworking with the changes in kemeroot. something sumeru music related or klee’s character demo song, whatever i’m in the mood for.
sleep escapes me still but it's 100% my fault for having little self control and drinking what was supposed to be my coffee for tomorrow (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू)
sumeru will forever be my favourite region (even if the desert exploration was painful), but fontaine has been feeding us well in terms of life truths.
i really like how chevreuse acknowledged people’s opinions on what justice is and should be, then proceeded to put into perspective how justice isn’t always black and white as most people (myself included) thought it to be. this is exchange between veronique and her is probably one of my favourite dialogues in this game so far.
the characters selected in this event event still seemed random to me, but i don’t mind. i still enjoyed the story (and the ayato-chiori banter i didn’t see coming).
i try to be grateful for many things, but the most grateful i’ll always be is for my hands. as an artist, my hands are definitely something i can’t (and don’t want to) live without. my mind conjures, and my hand creates. it is with my hands that i’m able to keep dabbling and rekindling my love for art making.
(kind of a shameless plug about some of the things i’ve done, but who else should celebrate my works but myself, right? right! ♡ॢ₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎)
another H that i am grateful for is my friend, whom i’ve kept in touch with regularly since i left one of my previous workplaces. not a lot of my friends have witnessed my most depressive state (and honestly, i wouldn’t be comfortable with most of my friends seeing me in that state since i know not all of them can fully grasp or even have the headspace to try to see things from my side just because of differences in our stages of life), but this friend has seen it, and still chose to remain a friend up until now that i’m beginning to heal from my previous season. i’ll always be grateful for her presence, support, and friendship, and i’m glad our paths ever crossed.
whenever our schedules aligned and we have time to meet up, we catch up over food, drinks, and art.

What are you grateful for today?
Welcome to my gratitude support group! All are welcome to be a part of the gratitude crew. Re-blog, write a note or send an ask as often as makes sense for you (just once, every day, twice a year, a few times a month— doesn’t matter!)
I tag parts of the crew almost every day. If you’d like to be on the tag list let me know.
All posts will be tagged ‘resiliencewithin’s daily gratitude group’.
Prompt (if you want): Show gratitude for something that starts with the letter H.
it hasn't been long since i've come around and started appreciating what i'm surrounded with in the moment but the thing i'm struggling with the most is believing that hoping and keeping in faith are still worth my time -- it takes a lot of me to really be present and mindful so i can take time to appreciate whatever small or big event i find myself in.
that said, i will say, since i have to be deliberate in recognizing the glimmers around me, it teaches me to stay in the present and practice the grounding techniques that my counsellor has taught me since, and because it gets me to develop an attitude of mindfulness and gratitude, it makes me grateful to have days ahead for me to exercise that attitude ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
(this is one of my favourite prompts so far as it reminded me that i can still look forward to seeing everything i've invested myself in (not money, though) come to fruition.)
