Hoyoverse Is A Company That Loves To Give Us Disappointment After Disappointment, But After So Many Recasts

Spoilers for both AITSF and AINI below:

With "No Sleep for Kaname Date" being announced I hope they actually give good development for Iris and not just fanservice fanservice fanservice - *sees Iris in a bunny costume* - ok so can they give Iris good development while in the bunny costume too or is it one or the other...?

I am one of the many people that really was not a huge fan of AINI, with its overall plot and how it sidelined so many main characters and their mother (literally, where is Mayumi!?) to focus on new characters. While the development of these new characters was interesting, it did not mesh well at all with what was established by the first game, and the plot twist was so loosely held together that it kind of made me lose my engagement in the game. Of course the "breaking" of the game was part of the plot, but it had the same energy of the Danganronpa v3 twist that sort of ruined the overarching plot of the series. With this game being more of a spin-off rather than a main game, I am very hesitant with getting my hopes up. AINI already butchered so much of Iris and made her a meme character where she was one of the most important characters in the first game, and in doing so greatly weakened the relationship that she had with other characters, namely Amame and Mizuki. I really just hope that this game deepens her character more and does not just further reduce her to young but legal character they can sexualize who makes references the gamers like.

Personally, I'd love to see:

Actual reference to the first game and no stupid spoiler toggle (but given Date's appearance I doubt it)

Possible reference to the Twitter ARG where Iris literally (spoiler that everyone knows basically) freaking dies

Siren Song. Please. Hate how Iris "went to get milk" for like all of AINI where her girlfriend was going through the horrors with a kind guy that they stupidly wrote to have a crush on her. They did Genny dirty he was cool and then they just had to be weird with him.

If they really wanna commit to the whole timeline crossing or whatever then I'd love for us to get B-Set. This was my overall hope for Ai3 in that B-Set would be the killer, but I guess if we can get her in this game then I would be somewhat satisfied.

Can we get her Ai1 model back I hate the stupid AINI model and how it just completely changed her facial structure. Her dark pink hair and younger face were so ridiculously cute, I don't know why they changed hers (and Amame's)

Can we get Amame development. The second game really made her such a significant character out of nowhere and if this game is supposed to take place between the two then they really need to give us more on screen development between the two

I hope they don't go too into occult and aliens because it is just infinitely funnier for this to be stuff that is all in Iris's head and not actually real. Of course in the first game it is explained that this is partially due to her brain tumor (and special interest lollll) and then it's just not addressed in the second for some bizarre reason. If they make aliens and stuff canon then it makes the second game even stupider if it takes place after this new one.

Saito. Where my sexy boy~

very brainrotted on AITSF and Love Live at the moment and I kind of want to write a crossover one-shot of KotoUmi in the AITSF universe but I don't know if I should make them both psyncers or make one of them an AI-Ball. Psyncer Umi makes more sense than Psycher Kotori in this scenario but also how do I make them kiss if one of them is holographic.

Kotori: quick, Umi-chan, load the evolver!

Umi: Kotori she just works here I am not going to shoot the waitress!

Kotori: Umi-chan... please? She's acting awfully suspicious...

Umi: All she did was look at me..., you are way too jealous! Who programmed you... *sigh*

aitsf spoilers on both games regarding sejima family

The thought of So trying to be more fatherly to Iris because his other neglected kids became serial killers is absolutely hilarious to me. Like "oh shit I was such a bad dad that my kids started killing people I cannot fuck up with my last (known) child" and checks in on her every now and then to make sure she's not plotting anything. He's probably sweating trying to recall other women he may have had children with. So far 2 out of 3 kids are killers and that is a very bad record for him.

Like he checks in on her stream and she gets a little bit too violent in Fortnite and he's like oh fuck I have to leave town she's going to get me next.

I do think she should do a little murder as a treat though.

It would actually be hilarious if So is a witness to a murder in the third game and the killer tries to silence him, but in doing so they are killed by Iris. I can just imagine the awkward tension between So and Iris.

Iris, looking between the body and So: " A-are you ok Mr. Sejima?! I don't know what happened, I just saw that you were in danger a-and my body moved on its own and —"

So, internally: why does this keep happening to me...

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).

Because We're Together

Kotori: The sweet potatoes Nozomi-chan and Honoka-chan shared with us the other day were really delicious, right? Umi: Yes, they were. I know they were a calorie bomb seeing as they're covered in butter and honey.... But I couldn't resist the temptation. Kotori: Fufu. You even went for seconds, huh, Umi-chan? Umi: But you did as well, Kotori! Kotori: Well, I can't hold back on delicious food, after all~ Umi: It's impressive how you manage to stay in shape, being like that.... Kotori: I laugh a lot when I'm with you and Honoka-chan, so that's probably where all of the calories went. Umi: Putting Honoka aside, what is there to laugh at when you're with me....? Kotori: Lots of things! But I won't tell you what they are ♪ Umi: Eh? Now I'm curious.... Please tell me about them, Kotori~!

they couldn't give my autistic ass an AI-Ball. I'd be staring at the wall for hours asking them to go through articles and articles of my special interests.

well, I mean obviously I would not get an AI-Ball since I would not be working for the police KEKW but I would be using my powers for autism and yuri

"Leo did you solve the case?" No man I was looking at (kiki and) booba videos and learning about why pigeons in urban environments are so colorful

all the ganqing wips in my drafts are screaming at me to finish them

Mizuki Okiura so daughter she made my nonbinary ass a mother
