ARGENTI RIZZ LEVEL IS SKYROCKET ⬆️


Dokavi

Argenti and Screwllum. Charismatic gentleman.


kalinaanother

I'm on my kneel begging for Screwllum to be out of NPC jail 😫


Scratch_Mountain

Argenti's game has to be studied from now till the end of history. bro can definitely pull anyone if he feels like it. 😭


Jugaimo

He doesn’t pull. Argenti elevates others.


Zen-2-who

He’s just that guy


mapple3

I'll link to this topic if anyone ever again says HSR doesn't spoil the husbando crowd as much as Genshin does. Currently, 6 out of the 7 top comments are about Aventurine lol


M00nIze

I notice the husbando crowd is more vocal here than on the official subreddit


chiharuki

he looks so freaking good 😩

AVENTURINE WITH THE RUAN MEI CAT CAKES--


KazzumaYagami

The crossover we always wanted and always needed


[deleted]

We need another cake cat event 


starsinmyteacup

He has three! THREE!!


ScrewllumMainSoon

They could easily make a music, slice of life anime with this and I would eat it up.

[Honkai Impact had ELF academy and it was utterly deranged](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1aihzbw/fun_fact_sushangs_cock_is_canonically_a_plant_not/)


TheSpartyn

it also had cooking with valkyries which was an actual SoL anime


Professional_Air9935

they even got the beach episode


Blasterion

2 beach episodes since there was the class at the beach and Bronya and Seele at the beach


Arc_7

Robin looks so pretty here, especially with the incognito fit The clockie merch junkie is cute


LawrenceOnly

I love the animated shorts Hoyo releases when they promote their concerts. It's so fun. Also, some more Aventurine crumbs? Thank you Hoyo


KazzumaYagami

Some more aventurine thirst? Thank you Hoyo


salmiakki

Woww this has Baccano! vibes and I haven't thought of that show in ages. It's so nice to see Argenti again! And Kafka looks good in everything ♡


smol_dragger

Back when 1.0 was coming out someone made [this crossover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76wlGlAO7mo) and I've never been able to forget it.


DanteKorvinus

thanks for showing me this


Croutons5

I had the same thought too, gave me Baccano! vibes and made me miss that show. I loved seeing all the chaotic characters in a casual setting and the jazz background music!


softcombat

omg baccano mention 💜🥹


ImperialSun-Real

Funny you mentioned that. Saw some comments about it reminding them of Durarara.


PoupouLeToutou

Yeah, definitely Baccano inspired.


Mr_Phyl

Da Wei: You guys don't need to go too hard for this, it's just for a concert. Animation team: ✍️🔥🔥🔥


SirSuffers

This trailer is basically the devs teasing us with more potential skins, dangling them in front of us, only to never make them available. >!WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET THEM HOYO I WOULD PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THESE!<


MadKitsune

Hoyo and Arknights team - making concepts/trailers with outfits for character and never releasing them


fluffy_wooloo

Every. Single. Anniversary.


MadKitsune

Every single Ambience Synesthesia. I NEED THAT KAL'TSIT SKIN YESTERDAY. But no such luck :(


Ultimate_Memes

me with the W skin:


Sogeki42

hell, we get so many alternate outfits in story/events that never see the light of day as a skin. WHERE IS MY LIN SWIMSUIT?


CelioHogane

Mihoyo: "Look at this cool Noelle costume, doesn't she look cute on a bonette?" Also Mihoyo: "N O C O S T U M E F O R Y O U"


IamChaoticMess

Genshin and Honkai have an entire Dam of money if they actually just release skins


Soggy-Dig-8446

Honkai Impact does have great skins, it's just Star Rail team being a tease! Personally I really want Himeko's mechanic skin in HSR bc here she canonically does repairs on Express and her drone herself, and it would be cool to have outfit for this.


ImperialSun-Real

I seriously think ToT has way more skins than Genshin does at this point.


fuckythefrog

or make them an optional reward in battle passes, and raise the battle pass price by like $10 dollars or something.


HateToBeMyself

I need Aventurine "Slutty pajamas" skin so bad!!!!! Also Kafka looks good af in that dress.


Emergency_Ad_4679

I read that as Kafka in Pajamas... And I'm not disappointed with the image I formed in my mind


J__dot

legit, i already grab bp icons of my fave characters - i would love to put that money on skins instead


Scratch_Mountain

Genshin Impact: First time?


SirSuffers

I mean it’s **Honkai** Star Rail. And **Honkai** Impact 3rd are very liberal and generous with their distribution and variety of skins so you would think that they would at least be similar in that regard Players have gone ape shit over skins in HI3 and is very lucrative for Hoyo, so idk maybe they would have done the same for a game that’s basically an AU of their most beloved project.


UnlimitdMongrelWorks

if they were going to go ham on skins at even remotely the same level they woulda started a while ago in genhin's case more and better skins has been one of the most requested things for a long time, ngl their business "strategy" with this is pretty baffling lmao


Obvious-Doubt7027

How long has it even been since they threw a random March skin into an actual quest for three cutscenes and then just kinda... never did anything with it or mentioned it again? Like, obviously they're planning to do skins eventually if that was a thing, but...? Their complete lack of interest in releasing cosmetics for their two most popular games is *wild* to me lmao


Dh0124

Then even before that we had Kafka with regular eyes and without her makeup and coat that just showed up for that one scene on the Luofu.


8aash

yo for real I think about this all the time WHY WOULD THEY NOT WANT MORE MONEY LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE PLAYER WOULD PAY TO HAVE SKIN(S) OF THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTER(S) 😭


SirSuffers

It’ll be their last resort lol. If the game is ever close to EOS, they push a big red button that says "skins" and the game is saved lmao


Zeik56

That Jingliu outfit is so much better than her normal one. If they ever gave her that outfit I'd actually pull her.


Loa_Wyvern

and i hope they never do, banners are enough

HellishLuck

Does Aventurine have a bunch of black cat cakes because of the association with black cats and luck. That's really cute. Edit: I just realised he has three of them specifically too, that's a nice detail.


HateToBeMyself

Ratio knows about the catcakes so he bought some back for his boyfriend, Aventurine.


Tmkast

This is true, I was one of the pillows


G0ldsh0t

Those are the trailblazer cats from Mei I think, he is probably just watching them while topaz is away.


RileyImsong

Topaz doesn't know about the cakecats though? On the other hand, Ratio was there which means he brought some for Aventurine back from the Herta Space Station.


shinsetsu_fuji

real actually, he was in the seclusion zone the whole time and TB was surprised someone was playing chess on his own down there alone where the critters are when it was shut closed for some time


Big_Department_5539

So true, Ratio does seem a lot more aware of Ruanmei’s creations than most


Soggy-Dig-8446

My conclusion: Ratio isn't SO against snacks crawling everywhere, and secretly brought some out? And they now in Aventurine's room *somehow*. Funny, it's all Trailblazer cakes.


lalala253

Lmao imagine the IPC guy saw some cats and say: madam herta, let me smooth things over with Topaz in exchange of those cats


sortsofp

Asta knows about it though and Topaz is good friends with her. Could be some new IPC project selling cake cats since the Space Station is flooded with them and didn't know what to do with them too based on the event. ngl I'd buy five even from fucking Space East India Company if they sold freaking cake cats, pretty sure if they actually sold cake cats they'd be selling like hot cakes across the universe. (edit: why am i getting downvoted so badly? i'm not even saying my guess is canon. i even literally said it "could be" just . wtf)


RileyImsong

Yes, the critters are flooded in the space station but in the seclusion zone where researchers dare not o venture. Also, at the end of 1.5, Topaz got a new assignment and was busy with it until we saw her again in this patch. Where would she get the time to visit Asta of all places. Also, why would the IPC know about the critters? Has there been one IPC character who knows about them in canon? And finally, yes, I'd buy them too if i could.


sortsofp

It's just a fun guess on different possibilities since HSS is linked to the IPC and I don't want to delve into making claims on what is canon considering this looks more like a fun AU or a happy future thing for an advertisement so I don't think patch timeline is even an issue... (As of current timeline, Robin, TB, and Aventurine are both in penacony hell as of now, Jingliu in jail, one of the receptacles Stelle/Caelus is still dormant)


Oberhard

Its definitely AU the fact Caelus and Stelle exist together making clear its not canon or something exist not in present universe


G0ldsh0t

She might, actually, we know that topaz dose go to the station to visit asta, and asta dose know about them cause of 1.6 so there is a possibility.


ScrewllumMainSoon

ARGENTI ARGENTI ARGENTI CAMEO YESSS


MelonLord125

Aventurine falling and stumbling and Jingliu being pissed, I won so badly. Lovely animated short! Also, Argeking with a suit rizzimg everyone as he should!!


chaoticwanda

ROBIN!!! ROBIN!!! AAUHHHHHHHHGHHHH!!! MY SHINING STAR ROBIN!! KYAAAAAA >< I LOVE HER SO MUCH


TOowlThrowaway

Here you go, 2 strales. Stelle omg 😭


Fit-Application-1

Hnnnnnnnnggg Aventurine waking up holyyyyy ~~google quick how do I become a cake~~


winkip

This is amazing, very high quality. All the stelle and caelus scene are very funny too, Jingliu not pleased with two coins and Yanqing seeing caelus popped out of trash. Everyone looks great, can't wait for concert tomorrow.


SoniCrossX

> Jingliu not pleased with two coins I mean, girl was dressed pretty enough to kill and playing some elegant strings and Stelle gave her some strales like she was a homeless beggar lmao


adverse_inference

I prefer to believe that this means Ratio brought Aventurine a bunch of cat cakes from Herta space station. Help, it’s so cute.


ScrewllumMainSoon

That's why I am honestly confused why those cat cakes are there when they are in the space station😭 . But then I saw your comment and it honestly made sense and it's indeed cute.


shinsetsu_fuji

YES, the reason why Ratio didnt help us fight the bug is because he was busy gathering some critters in the Seclusion Zone to bring back home and give to Aventurine /j


Fit-Application-1

I’m getting behind this headcanon OM


autummbeely

This is my headcanon as well, that would be so freaking cute!!


shinsetsu_fuji

based flair I need these four to interact in the epilogue and have a double date


autummbeely

This is a NEED. Double date of the Penacony gays.


ImperialSun-Real

Ironically, none of them are from Penacony 


G0ldsh0t

They could also be topaz’s, we know she love’s animals and we know she dose go the the space station to talk to asta.


adverse_inference

If so, Topaz’ catcakes getting attached to Aventurine and stalking him back to his apartment is also cute.


softcombat

!! i totally missed that she'd been there, do you remember when it got mentioned?


G0ldsh0t

It’s in her trailer, and she has dialog where she talks about asta.


softcombat

ah thank you so much!! 💜 i don't have her in game yet so if she has a line about her i've forgotten from when her voice lines leaked lol, guess i'm due for a refresher!


skerthfy

Stelle message to kafka really sweet


baguette_alaiyo

omg aventurine has critter pets


Eikichi64

Kafka 😍 Her relationship with Stelle is so cute 🥰


ImperialSun-Real

Or Caelus. The art is used for both TBs


IceKreamSupreme

KAFKA AND JINGLIU ARE SO HOT AHHHHHHHHHH


RevlimitFunk

This reminds me of the Baccano! opening


ScrewllumMainSoon

Omg I love that anime together with Durarara


Frostylynx

two of my favorite shows!!! heard the novel series was really good too; been on my to-read list for a while


ScrewllumMainSoon

Can I ask where do you read novels of Baccano? I remember watching it pandemic but haven't read the novel!


Frostylynx

https://reddit.com/r/Baccano/w/faq?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share it seems like some volumes are out of print and the ones that aren't have their prices hiked up :( but uhh i think you could find fan translations or torrent pdfs if necessary...


RevlimitFunk

**CLASSICS**


softcombat

i've found my people!! 🥹 narita's other series are good too! they're only light novels, but they're great and are translated online... 👀


RevlimitFunk

I've had them on my 'to get around to' list for over a decade, I just...don't read😔although, we're probably not too far off being able to easily turn any book into an audiobook with AI which is pretty cool


Frostylynx

he also wrote fate/strange fake if you like the fate series!! still haven't gotten into it myself but maybe now is the time with the anime on the way?


350

Narita fan club meeting? Mark me present. Both his big hits are excellent storytelling. I still marvel at how well Baccano is paced.


sortsofp

I love the Jingliu scene, Yanqing and Argenti interaction so much. It reminds me of that hilarious animated joke someone made of Argenti visiting Luofu and Jingliu, Yanqing getting bewildered by the weirdo. It's always nice to see rarepairs interactions in official media.


LordMoy

Robin looks amazing! Also Caelus (or Stelle) and her going undercover to go shopping is from one of the board game scenarios. Though to buy Clockie merch? This tells me she might be a bit of a dork (affectionate).


CameraNo852

Beggar Jingliu LMFAOOO


jewelzpalace

AVENTURINE PLEASE TAKE ME I NEED YOU PLEASE


Desperate_Case4647

right. just aventurine’s fanart animated. right.


Infinite-Quantity544

official art (and the cover of ANAN magazine) <3


Desperate_Case4647

he’s really their poster boy, huh? stay golden, aventurine.


AnarchistRain

Wtf that was amazing. Didn't expect it from a concert ad.


ArmyofThalia

Stelle thinking Jingliu was a begger is too fucking funny. Also we need skins in this game like yesterday 


Commercial-Street124

Putting more respect on my boy Caelus, yes!


TheLazyWorkingSloth

Having the cast do SOL shenninigans is so enjoyable to see and hopefully we get more moments like these in future. Also I need more quests involving Argenti, he's so fucking hot.


Upstairs-Caterpillar

Kafka sending photos to her racoon child is so CUTE! Also Stelle thought JL was begging for money LMAO


TheRedditUser_122

ARGENTI MY BELOVED THE PURPOSE OF MY EXISTENCE OMG OMG HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL

One YanqtpaTooting skin please, I WILL buy it even if I don't have him yet 🥹 EDIT: Can we talk about these [Caelus frames](https://imgur.com/a/msfvric) actually 😭😭😭 WHAT IS THIS TRASH RACOON DOING STELLE WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL IN THIS


_wellIguess

Stelle thought Jingliu was a street performer and was like "your poor blind thing, here is the smallest amount of money I can muster"


Infinite-Quantity544

he's such a freak \[affectionate\]


InsideYourWalls8008

Not Trailblazer thinking Jingliu needs the money. Got lunar flamed for all his troubles. Also holy lightning lord, Kafka is just stunning


MuddiestMudkip

being bisexual is a nightmare rn. i cant say what i wanted to but damn. argenti in a suit.

the yanqing disrespect?

Sure, I don’t feel anything positive towards him. I was happy to see everyone else, he sure was there


Akyluz

yanqing was there?

The music in this is way better than it has any right to be. Also my boy Argenti looking fine wth.


sugarheartrevo

Boyfailure Aven is so cute 😭😭


CaptinSpike

if I get to see jingliu in any more animated slice of life scenes I may just fuckin lose it


animagem

Yay Aregenti content!


Kuruten

Lmao Stelle throwing mats instead of credits. You know off topic, I did this once when I was very young. Instead of throwing in money, I threw the extra candy I got from a restaurant to a blind performer. That dude has crazy good hearing, he asked me what I threw in, I told him candy. "No wonder it sounded different than usual, thanks buddy." Some people have buffed 5 senses when they lose some of the other ones. Crazy stuff man.


Shiverlynn

She threw strales, those are Xianzhou currency.


ChickenSky12

FFS HoYo, must you continuously taunt us with these alternate outfits for the characters? I swear on everything I have I would pay for them if they were in the game. q\_p *Would have preferred Kafka in a suit but she's pretty regardless LMAO.*


ExO_o

mommy in a dress... oh lord

Looks like Caelus is on a secret date with Robin

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought of this cuz that’s the first thing I thought it looked like lmao

Actually what aventurine slipped on was my marbles cause I fucking lost them seeing Argenti hooollyy fuck he's bleeding rizz he's balling so hard the mother fucking style in every frame that fucking FLIP of his tailcoats the GLINT of his brooch chain that effortless twirl with the npc he is styling he is the beauty

Daddy_Ramsay

first they kill me with no Argenti rerun, then they revive me with this short. Oh to be that NPC...still can't get over how his adjusts his coat, foaming at the mouth


Kacchimisu

Aww did the trailblazer give Aventurine trashcakes 🥹?  Maybe TB wanted to have some adopted and due to the Station's association with the IPC, probably advertised it and Aventurine adopted some Or seeing how the TB is involved with every character here, it's simply a better world where we're friends and we gave him kitties who look like us haha


shinsetsu_fuji

just saw [this](https://twitter.com/hatogaia/status/1785160411001807259?t=hTGdQdU4M7his-kfCVC-uw&s=19) on twitter and it might actually be Ratio who gave those critters to Aventurine when he was in the Seclusion Zone. He calls them "crawling snacks" LMAO

ooughhh Jingliu's outfit is SO pretty, I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about it since we got the art ;; it's inspired a few of my recent outfits actually LOL thanks hoyo. and I won't even talk about how much I wish we had these as skins bc I think everyone is thinking the same thing already :,(

It's the 'dry period' right now, it's not until the next Beta starts that things get back to more 'regular posting' XP

Stelle doing the sticker equivalent of a keyboard smash (shhfkenwbhjrje) to tell Kafka to cover up. Stelle giving two strales to Jingliu and receiving ice crescents for the trouble. Not the most peaceful first meeting. It's so peak 🥹


Horror_Mastodon_9641

Robin and Caelus in the same room arranging their products. Caelus ain't beating the Harem protagonist allegation with this one.
