Just argued with someone about mono-element accounts in HSR for, like, an hour.

They thought that a team of Acheron/Kafka/Tingyun/Bailu is better than Phainon/Hanya/Robin/DHPT. Like... what?

@elaureus.bsky.social

Fun fact Huo Huo and Blade were both accidental pulls: Huo Huo because I was trying to get Hanya (got her but at the cost of not getting Argenti), and Blade because I was building pity for Kafka (and then didn't get her haha *cries*)

Learned my lessons but no regrets for Bladie to this day 🙂‍↕️

@kimcch.bsky.social

here's the final tierlist ranking #hsr characters based on how well they'd do as PARENTS!

note, this is basically a Modern AU, otherwise a lot of these characters would have had to be disqualified by default.

feel free to RESPECTFULLY let me know if you agree/disagree on any of these & why!

Characters ranked as parents from top- to bottom tier:

"A+ parenting": Argenti, Boothill, Gallagher, Ratio, Himeko, Luka, Welt, Yukong
"tries their best & it mostly works out": Aventurine, Black Swan, Dan Heng, Natasha, Jiaoqiu, Kafka, Serval, Sunday
"probably unfit to be a parent": Acheron, Arlan, Asta, Blade, Feixiao, Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, Bronya, Gepard, Fugue, Guinaifen, Robin, Hanya, Jingliu, Lynx, March 7th, Rappa, Sampo, Seele, Sushang, Topaz, Trailblazer
"Don't.": Jade, Moze, Ruan Mei, Silver Wolf, Sparkle, Herta, Xueyi, Firefly
"???": Luocha, Lingsha, Pela, Qingque
