Is Absenti

For those who don't know (won't be surprised he isn't even mentioned in the members list of Masked Fools on Wiki) Absenti is (or was, I don't remember fully) a masked fool mentioned in two readables.

Readable 1 : Bragi resignation letter

https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Bragi%27s\_Resignation\_Letter

Readable 2 : Non-Random Treasure Map (look for ring of misfortune paragraph)

https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Non-Random\_Treasure\_Map

In the second readable it is said that the Masked Fool Absenti quote "always shows up uninvited, appearing in the most chaotic and dangerous places. He's obsessed with experiencing brilliant and glorious stories, recording them with his paintbrush".

It's likely be a stretch coming from me, but if we compare Asat Pramad and this guy character... I have a feeling that there's a certain similarity. But that's "feelings theorizing" Lol. After this sequence there is a mention that according to a legend Aha lost the ring to Absenti in a wager. As to what exactly does this ring do, it is described quote "Whenever he wears it, a series of coincidences guides him straight to wherever misfortune lurks".

From what I saw in current story and from what I know and remember it seems like Asat Pramad kinda has some probability manipulation powers??? I'm unsure but that does connect him to the ring and Absenti.

What interests me the most however is the first readable aka Bragi resignation letter. According to the description, its a quote "resignation letter left behind by Bragi, the renowned Masked Fool, after stepping down from her position as a bartender".

Sounds cool? But throw that out, the content of the letter is essentially a resignation letter but in realms of HSR. What however I think is the most important thing is by the end. By the end Bragi mentions Absenti and from the looks of it (how Bragi describes him) it's seems like the guy is a veteran, "I doubt the youngsters even remember my old friend Absenti, once the most joyful Fool of us all"

AND RIGHT AFTER THAT Bragi connects us to the first readable quote "Legend has it he even managed to prank an Aeon". And how did Absenti got in the possession of the ring of misfortune? Exactly, by winning a wager against Aha. Which means that yeah, the pranked Aeon is Aha. Ironic isn't it? The Aeon of Elation and pranks was pranked by a mortal.

After the legend however, Bragi speaks about why Absenti stopped to laugh. "Some say he stopped laughing after hearing all thirty trillion jokes in the universe". However Bragi immediately cancels this opinion and says that in truth that the tavern crowd stopped being funny for him, wasn't funny enough for him anymore. Bragi also claims that Absenti said his farewells to her and spoke about going "to the real edge of the world for a brand new adventure" however at last, he shared a joke.

IMO what I'll quote next doesn't sound really like a joke, but more like disappointment, disgrace towards what's around. It's not even funny

Quote :

"Just look at this tavern. The universe is dying outside, yet everyone stays safe and sound by hiding in here. Elation should have been something magnificent, but these Fools refuse to pay the cost that comes with the joke. Behind their laughter, all I see is the decay and rot of the Second Prosperity."

"Don't you think these people, the ones who don't even know what they're laughing at, are a much bigger joke than anything in the outside world?"

Here we can see how Absenti is dissatisfied with the state of things in Masked Fools ranks. What if the reason why Asat Pramad hates Elation is... that he thinks that Elation brings nothing but moral degradation and degradation overall?

Idk what more to add. I'd say that as much as I like this theory idk if it would really be true since Asat Pramad became a Lord Ravager at least during Graphia lifetime which was long ago. I personally tend to believe he's even older than that. Also it is unclear about in what point of time these two readables were made and in what point of time the described events happened. So yeah, while sounds interesting I have doubts

Как рисовать женщин?

Я понимаю вопрос может быть немного внезапным, но дело в том что я хочу сделать фан-арт Леди из Devil May Cry при помощи акварели и по моим сугубо личным ощущениям мне... не достаёт скилла.

Я конечно могу нарисовать наверное может быть какого-то мужика, но блин я помню когда раньше пытался рисовать женщин у меня получалось... так себе.

Так что да, господа художники помогите советом пж если не сложно

I personally think that as a main dps e0s1 Castorice in her bis team is superior to e0s1 main dps Evernight in her bis team. I saw calls and analysis that with e2 Evernight can be on par if not better.

Reason why I write this post is because people today tried to convince me that Castorice is trash and Evernight is better even at e0

What do you think?

Remember the Fight Club film?

What if Galaxy and Mortis are the same person?

Gilgamesh will be a remembrance unit

This spoke Asat Pramad the destroyer of Elation

Wasn't sure which tag to use, so Politics I guess

DISCLAIMER : It is completely optional to answer my question. If you don't want to answer, you're free to not do so

I have a curiosity that gave birth to my question to Ukrainians : those of you who before the war had Russian friends, how are your relationships now ? If you cut ties or still occasionally talk with them, why?

I'm Russian who has an online discord Ukrainian friend with who we are in good friend relationships.

So I was wondering about other experiences.

Question in the title, I have as of now e1s1 SW999 and e1s1 Elation MC.

Which LC is better? Some people say to me that it's the Yao Guang one, others day that it's the DU one that is better

EDIT : I forgot to add that I do have e1s1 Yao Guang

Back in 4.0 I managed to pull 2 Yao Guang signature LCs. People advised me to not superimpose it, so here I am

Some people say to me that Yao Guang LC is better than the 5* DU one, others say the opposite.

What is the truth? I have SW999 e1s1 + e1s1 Yao Guang
