i wonder if Sampo assumed that The Nameless were Masked Fools at first

i thought this whole beginning spiel he does was just him thinking the Nameless were Underworlders -> but that doesn't make sense when later it's revealed that literally almost everyone on Jarilo-VI knows who the Silvermane are

this isn't even five minutes into introductions and Sampo's already treating them like they're all part of one big- and pardon the pun- inside joke. i wouldn't even put it past him if he was purposefully using double entendres in case he was wrong -> "pricing your stock" can also refer to attributing your strong points//talents -> "same side" "same line of work" "charade" "vigilance" "sincerity" "an art to it all" Sampo frequently refers to their 'shared job' with entertainment monikers

i think he realizes relatively soon after this entire conversation that the Nameless are, in fact, not Fools though- so he doesn't ever hedge closer to the subject aside from calling himself a "senior in the field"

also he changes his phrases so that they're more reminiscent of his conman occupation rather than his Fools occupation

im also pretty sure he immediately pegged us as offworlders too?? -> this is after saying Jarilo-VI was uninhabitable anywhere other than Belobog

WAIT GUYS YOU KNOW THE RATING GUN

The curio in Hertas Space Station next to the room where the Stelleron was held?

I think I've figured out what it's rating.

The chances of someone becoming an emanator.

Multiple SPOILERS ahead, and any spelling mistakes, please just go with it.

Think about it, to my knowledge all emanators recieve an invalid rating. Hertas puppet receives a 4, since The Herta is already an emanator (I'm assuming she'll get an invalid rating too) whilst both Tingyun and Fugue get a 13, I'm assuming because of Tingyuns death and Fugues rebirth through Ruan Mei.

Yanqing receives a 99?! And based off of his story in game so far, I'd say that tracks. Bailu receives a 71, which I think makes sense since we don't know if the previous High Elders were emanators (I say unlikely) but at the same time she has tried to heal the mara struck, where I have a whole other theory on the Abundance and mara.

Himeko gets a 9, so I'm assuming that's because of Akavilis death or something to do with Hi3. Welt gets a 5, again I'm assuming something to do with Hi3 going on here and that I'd a game I know very little about. The Trailblazer receives an 84, which is tripping me a little bit because of all the Aeons gazes they've received, but maybe to become an emanator you need the gaze of an Aeon and to accept that power. March gets an invalid, I have a theory that she's an emanator of the Rememberence but something happened and they erased her memories, maybe to make her more powerful in the future? Dan Heng gets an 88, though it has a question mark at the end, and Dan Heng IL gets the same. Sunday gets a 36, the Order is dead to our knowledge and him becoming an emanator for the Harmony or even something else... unlikely.

Though I might be COMPLETELY wrong, since with a few other characters I checked it messes with the theory. Pela gets a 93, Serval gets a 67, Asta gets a 29, Moze gets a 60, Gallagher gets a 24, Bronya gets a 37, Qingque gets a 65, and Misha gets a 25.

But yeah, I thought it was a fun theory. Probably wrong, but who cares.

calling it right now. aglaea is a lesbian. said it here first folks 👍

Honkai: Star Rail spoilers ahead! If you haven’t completed the Version 2.2 main story “Then Wake to Weep” and don’t want to be spoiled, avert thine gaze!

Everyone’s talking about how powerful Acheron is as the Emanator of Nihility, but are we just gonna ignore the fact that the Trailblazer is technically a triple Emanator?

Honkai: Star Rail spoilers ahead! This theory is about major plot points of the Penacony Trailblaze quest! This theory was made in 2.0, so this will most likely be debunked or revealed in upcoming patches. Also, theres basically no evidence for this, it just seems right idk. Enjoy!

The little boy looking for Mikhail (the Watchmaker) in the real Dreamscape turned into the “Death” meme. After Amber Eras of frantically searching for Mikhail, he grew more and more miserable until he slowly turned into that meme monster. His consciousness, however, manifested into a separate being, known as Misha. He has no memories of his former life or what has become of his physical form. Thats why only Stelle can see him. Its cuz hes just consciousness. I don’t know what his relationship to Mikhail is, maybe he even is Mikhail, but either way, we’re gonna save Misha, unmonsterify the meme, and revive Firefly. Hopefully…

HSR Sunday's Boss Fight Theory.

(Spoilers for Penacony Quest Below!)

I feel like people are not talking enough about how Sunday literally almost ascended in his boss fight, as far as I can tell, anyway.

Like, he was the 'Embryo of Philosophy.' He was in the middle of turning into an Aeon following the path of Philosophy and ascending to take the place of Order instead of reviving Ena without his knowledge.

I think it is really sad when you think about how Sunday fully believed he was doing the right thing and tried to revive Ena, only to be tricked into unknowingly starting to ascend into Aeonhood.

I could ramble on and on about how sad of a character Sunday is and all that, but I have to stay on topic for now.

Anyway, back to his ascension.

So, I do want to point out something I noticed during his boss fight that I found rather... interesting.

During his third phase, we all know about his big attack that practically nukes your team, right?

Well, during that attack, we see a hand coming down and reaching towards Sunday, to which he reaches back and they touch fingers, causing the attack to happen.

The attack and scene in question.

Now, most people tend to assume that this is Ena, and I do as well. At least, I did think it was Ena until I stared at the screen a bit too hard and went, "Wait a damn minute–"

Dearest gentlereader, care to take a little looksie at Ena for me?

Ena, the Order.

Do you see that? Their hands?

That's right! Ena's hands don't match the hands during Sunday's boss fight at all.

So, I am going to tell you that this is not Ena and not Xipe either, because that wouldn't make sense at all. Even then, Xipe's hands are a deep blue, so that wouldn't match either.

Now, I know during that move, Sunday speaks as if he is talking to Ena, yes. However! If Sunday is truly oblivious to the fact he is ascending and is under the full belief that he is reviving Ena, he probably also does not realize that who he is talking to. IS. NOT. ENA.

So, who is it? Who is this this mysterious hand coming from the heavens? Well, what if I say it is the Aeons version of Sunday's hand?

Alright, don't scroll or click off, just hear me out!

The hand shares certain similarities to both Ena and Xipe. (The white part with the gold design being reminiscent of Ena. The thumb also shares a bit of Xipes color scheme, albeit with a bit of a stretch.)

You can also see during the scene that there are angel feathers coming down from where the hand comes from, something neither of the other Aeons possess. But you know who has feathers and wings? The handsomest man in Penacony, that's who!

During the build-up to the move, the subtitles were repeating the words from his diary, if I am correct, (which might has well just been a Bible at that point) until you get to the hand scene, as if slowly bridging the gap between his mortal body and his soon-to-be Aeon form.

Am I crazy? Am I right? I have no clue!

I might be totally off the mark with this, but I'm posting this anyway.

Bye ya'll, hope I didn't completely waste your time!

So when's April 8th gonna be playable Hoyo?

In all seriousness March 7th has got to be one of the most mysterious characters in the game. HSR has been delving into more and more storylines involving the past and memories, with Black Swan, Dan Heng, Blade, Acheron, Misha, Gallagher, even Trailblazer and their past with the Stellaron Hunters. If that theme continues and March is in fact a Memokeeper or Memokeeper-adjacent, she could end up being *REALLY* important later on. I'm interested to see what direction Hoyo takes her in.

THEORY FOR SPARKLE: MONODRAMA TRAILER

The popular theory for Sparkle right now is that in the trailer, her red masked version represents Aha, her white and red masked version represents her current self, and her white masked version represents who she used to be. Whilst scrolling these theories many people pointed out inconsistencies, but I think I have a theory that gets rid of those.

The crucial part to this is that in the scene of 0:28 to 1:12, you have to view it as a conversation between two seperate people.

For the purpose of this theory, the red mask will be referred to as Aha, and white mask will be Sparkle.

In the scene shown Aha shows up to play a game of Russian roulette with Sparkle, with an unknown wager. It’s important to note that the reason they likely approached Sparkle is that their personality from then to now is probably quite similar, and her manic behaviour possibly intrigued Aha.

Sparkle takes the bet and does her first shot (1/6), which doesn’t fire. She gets interrupted by enemies and starts to take them out, commenting on how they’re in her way. She throws the gun over to Aha who responds with “so what?”, who then catches the gun and takes a shot that doesn’t fire (2/6). They aim to take another shot before being attacked, and dodge the attack, taking a third shot in the motion which doesn’t fire (3/6). Aha comments on Sparkle pretending to be smart, and asking what a fool is, and saying that it is knowing when to act clueless, like they do. They take another shot after taking out the enemy, which doesn’t fire (4/6). Aha then passes the gun to Sparkle who looks visibly shocked.

The scene switches and it shows Aha forcing Sparkle to point the gun at their head. Sparkle tugs away, looking frustrated, and the reason for this is that this has come down to a 50/50 chance. If Aha takes the shot now and it doesn’t fire, Sparkle is guaranteed to have lost the bet.

Aha takes the shot, and the lines of colour pour out, indicating this was not a shot and they have won the bet. This is further backed up by the scene at 1:35, with Sparkle being forced to take the final shot, with a line of white representing the direction of the bullet.

Now it’s unclear what was actually wagered in this bet. Since it’s Russian roulette it’s heavily implied it’s her life, but she’s still living and the difference between the red-white mask and the fully white mask seem to represent her leaving behind her past self –with the red-white mask representing her path of elation– instead of losing her life itself.

Back on topic, it’s unclear if she willingly went into the path of elation because of what Aha taught her during the game, or if she was forced to by the bet. It’s more likely she was manipulated emotionally or psychologically into accepting the path of elation since she seems like she enjoys it, instead of being physically forced, and therefore garnering hatred for it, which she doesn’t seem to have.

In summary, the theory is that Aha and Sparkle engaged in a game of Russian roulette, with Aha coming out on top and Sparkle joining the path of elation as a result. Sparkle likely was mostly manic even in her earlier days but still held onto her own frustrations and humanity; the death of the white-mask represents her letting go of that humanity and embracing the path of elation.

I don’t know if others have already come to this conclusion but this is what I gathered from it! :)
