Which Side Note About Menogias And Lantern Rite Anyone Else Notice That Since His Debut They Bring Him

Which side note about Menogias and lantern rite anyone else notice that since his debut they bring him up every lantern rite and it seems to be the yaksha they talk about the most? Sure Bosacius was the focus of the perilous trial quest but ever since they talk about Menogias the most (and Menogias was the first name Bosacius said in that cutscene). Like there was:

Last lantern rite, when they brought him up and mentioned he was a designer

“A good outfit is more precious than gold itself. I chanced upon this as I was cleaning my old place today, and it brought back many fond memories.”-zhonglis birthday caption when in his old outfit made by Menogias

Just how much they’re featuring that outfit?? Like okay I know it’s bc of the museum collab but why use his outfit from lantern rite last year and not his usual archon one with the hood?

This lantern rite where he’s the feature statue/lantern

Edit to add: Hi to add to this it is day 2 of lantern rites story and cloud retainer JUST BROUGHT HIM UP. She told a kinda funny story about him and Bonanus which kinda hurts bc..they ended up killing each other

Edit day 3: Xiao has a one off line about Menogias when talking about making kites

Plus it’s the year of the dragon not the year of the monkey so (since liyue thinks hes dead) wouldn’t a rex lapis lantern rite thing made more sense? Or some other nameless dragon adeptus? Hoyo clearly has favorites and honest to god if that theory wasn’t disproved my little “capitano is Menogias” alarm bells would be SCREAMING. We’re getting capitano in natlan this year and Menogias just so happens to be the featured lantern in lantern rite??? If only it wasn’t disproved </3

Bye so I’m waiting for HSR to come out on PlayStation to play (couldn’t focus on mobile and my computer wouldn’t run it properly) and literally almost spoiled myself. I was on Tik Tok and saw a video of Jing Yuan and the caption was along the lines of “Jing Yuan’s voice while performing this banishing” and I was SO distracted by Jing Yuan, the glow effects on the scroll (?) and the overall animation I didn’t even PROCESS “this is a spoiler SCROLL.” Until he started to speak. Luckily my overall distraction kept me from seeing who was banished but my god I’m a dragon attracted to shiny things

So uh I was doing my welcome back pulls and-

I literally cannot open the game again until PlayStation because I know me and I know DAMN well I will be tempted to read lore I am DEFINITELY not supposed to know yet

Chapter 4 Raincode mystery labyrinth spoilers?? I guess??? (Update, definitely spoilers)

Y’all Yomi’s phantom design is SO cool I’m seriously obsessed with all the phantoms (okay except Guillaume and Dominic’s) but YOMI’S. How to smooch a demon/angel split phantom who loves torture

Update: THE GIANT BOSS YOMI ARE WE KIDDING. this mystery labyrinth is killing me but DAMN is Yomi making up for it

An old danganronpa piece I figured I’d share, implied spoilers for goodbye despair in the text I guess??? You probably won’t figure it out unless you’re already playing goodbye despair but like I don’t wanna risk it

Kamukura is literally my favorite danganronpa character, like I bought the prize figure on eBay (don’t ask how much I paid for it please), the zine from Instagram, I’ve thought about commissioning a custom nendroid like I LOVE this man and I was so sad he wasn’t in the Sanrio collab so I did it myself. I went with Captain Willy because Hajime was Tuxedo Sam and I think I’m funny (that’s the implied spoiler). A very dapper man I would pinch his cheeks 10/10

Y’all ever just draw your oc and they just…don’t look like themselves for some reason
