Going Insane At The Fact That Manaka Iwai Wore A Friendship Bracelet. She Was Just A Girl. Did Hitomi

Hitomi, post Mizuki Route: Iris... I don't know how to tell you. But the truth is your attempted killer, So Sejima, ... is actually your father.

Osiris:

seeing the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 and games knocked the special interest right out of me

I don't have money for autism this shit is getting too expensive

oh my GOD I just remembered that in Hitomi's somnium you have to give her a friendship bracelet in order to progress. Assuming she made Manaka's bracelet, then that bracelet was the one Manaka made for her... I'M GONNA CRY

going insane at the fact that Manaka Iwai wore a friendship bracelet. She was just a girl. Did Hitomi make it for her? Did Renju? Did they all have matching ones? I am going to explode.

Layla and Other Layla is just such a funny dynamic. Like what if the coughing baby was also the hydrogen bomb.

why is c1 Ganyu a literal game-changer I hate this she's even more goated then before.

Hoyoverse is a company that loves to give us disappointment after disappointment, but after so many recasts of characters that we love, I think the fandom should do much more to protect the rights of the actors that are part of the projects that we love. People of Tumblr, can we please all come together to submit feedback or email Hoyoverse stating that this type of behavior is wrong? Even if you play in another language, it certainly does feel demeaning that the company keeps on going against player feedback, whether that be with the racism, ableism, sexism, and now with the lack of worker rights.

If anyone has questions regarding the SAG-AFTRA strike I can try and point you to the right direction, but as a TLDR: the strike is to protect voice actors against AI and it is up to the company (Hoyoverse) to sign to protect them. Agents, talent agencies, and even recording studios do not have the final say in the agreement, in other words this is purposefully being ignored and postponed by Hoyoverse themselves. If the agreement were to be signed then all non-union actors could continue to work on the game, and the game could then become a union game. If so, there could be even more big-name actors working on it, which I am sure fans would love to hear. Working on a union game as a non-union actor could also potentially help in becoming SAG eligible and later a union member as well.

TLDR for the TLDR: It is up to Hoyoverse to sign the agreement and if they do everyone is happy and keeps their jobs and fans are happy with good quality voice acting.

Overall things are looking very bad for Hoyoverse since now most established actors don't want anything to do with that company. I think we need to push past our love for the characters and the game and really recognize that this is a company that profits off of gambling and does not really care about us unless we make it a problem for them. If revenue begins to tank and criticism rises, then perhaps Hoyoverse would actually listen and become a more respectable company. Not that it really was one to begin with, given all the disgusting sexualization, queerbaiting, racism, colorism, and so on. But truly, I can't say that I am surprised at how this is going, but I am without a doubt extremely disappointed.

to the genshin impact fanfic writers who include Layla in their fics, (first of all that alone is a blessing), but also include her DID as something that simply exists and not as a trope or joke... you have so much of my love. the inclusion of disability and mental illnesses in my own work as something that is framed as being casual, not in a dismissive sense, but rather as something that exists and isn't a negative trait - this is incredibly important to me. Layla being disabled due to her chronic fatigue, sleeping disorder, and non-specified dissociative disorder (probably OSDD 1a if we're being more specific), is something so tender to me somehow? obviously in-game it is not taken very seriously, nor do I trust hoyoverse to write disability well, but the part of the fandom that does love her and respects these aspects to her character and portrays said aspects with love and respect, well my love and respect for them is eternal.

Dandadan and Wicked fans, "What is this Feeling" but with Aira and Kouki. Peak rivals to enemies to lovers yuri.

The fic is a bit old but I figured I would promote one of my old Layla works! It takes place during the Parade of Providence event and is meant to be a bit of an analysis of her character and the dynamic between her and Other Layla (name pending).
