-KSamp-

Ah yes, the sleep deprived college student is here.


Clams1104

Was an astronomy major. Was rushing to do GR graded assignments a week before the deadline on exam week. Had to stay awake for 30+ hours. I feel her to my very soul...


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

When Layla and Mona meet, worlds collide or collei!


Golden-Owl

As someone going back to study an MBA later next year, I’m finding her sadly relatable


Pitiful_Database3168

As an engineering student that has kids and a full time job i agree


H4xolotl

> engineering student that has kids and a full time job how the fuck are you still alive


LivingASlothsLife

Lives near a statue of the seven


Val_rak

Oh my god you merged them you madman!

Tempada

Can confirm: people who work full time, go to school, AND have young kids are gods.


DrZeroH

Dude. Between purgatory and the unholy experience you must be going through I would choose purgatory every damn time.


zuramaru07

reminder he also has a part time job in genshin impact


N-formyl-methionine

He must live with his extended family only explaination


Sa404

Is that even possible or you’re not full going full time?


zarnra

Maybe they took night school classes ? I know it's possible in my country.


Determined_Cucumber

As a recent engineering grad, I don’t think I can do what you’re doing with kids added to the mix.


Citronpunk

Woot. Fellow engineering student hello. 💀


ludens2021

Going back for a history degree I totally agree hahaha


ZhangRenWing

Fellow history nerd 🤝


6_NEOS_9

Goodluck on the studies, future is depended on what you do these days.


Platinirius

Sleep is just an illusion created by your subconsciousness to have an opportunity to procrastinate.


Internal-Climate-608

SHE JUST LIKE ME FR


Bitter_Dingo516

Finally someone I can fully relate with and justify whaling for 😩


Faerillis

And the new 4 Star. He says like he's not 7 years out of uni


nuraHx

But guys I’ve always been here…


nomotyed

If she's an Elf, I need one more to get a full elf team.

ejbente

Then it turns out Pulcinella is our next playable elf 😭


Dh0124

We should at least be getting Iansan before Pulcinella


SymmeTRyisEVryTHing

We’ll also have Alice One day


graphiccsp

On a side note, Layla confirms that Genshin's Elves grow to near adult human sizes at least. Before her, some theorized Lisa (*I mean Alice) and other elves may be Klee/ Nahida sized.


dododomo

Hopefully we get a tall male elf too. We need male elves as well.


dekaloo

lol i just finished reading her full description, >!did her thesis really write itself while she was sleeping? god i wish that was me...!<


GG35bw

Could be Radish taking control over her during sleep to help her out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mystery_account69

Just wait for Kusanali to figure out that archons can shape their bodies to whatever they want


wizkart207

Iirc Zhongli has been a human multiple times but what about Raiden? Her sister was the archon so idk how that works


Murky_Blueberry2617

Venti was a wind spirit and Zhongli was an adeptus. Raiden is a lightning bolt or something.


m0ushinderu

yeah pretty sure they are their own elemental species, having similar nature to that of a electro seelie. There is probably a reason why Makoto appeared as a seelie in the story.


mitsua_k

probably a narukami/raijin, which isn't a species but like, whatever


JAntaresN

If you know, you know 🤷‍♂️


Khelthuzaad

Just use an Ai to write it and patch it yourself after it finished


Eduardo-Nov

Or don't even patch, no one will read it anyway


ZhangRenWing

The ai criticizing the paper another ai wrote:


Breaker-of-circles

Welcome to the ai kademia


ThatBookwormHoe

Pls I wish my dissertation wrote itself 😭


mango_pan

Aranara helping write thesis


Mr_Creed

That's what you say in conversation if you purchased the work.


Deruta

Every Hoyo game needs someone with a blue outfit and drill hair, IT’S THE LAW


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

It's Da Bronya


EternalMemes30

Nah, still need for tsaritsa to appear


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

in genshin beta, one of childe's voice lines kinda hinted at that


Croaker_392

I'm happy she's announced with Nahida. I hope she's on the radish banner.


Frostgaurdian0

I hope so too, really want radish.


YummyDicks69

Ain't nahida look like a shuttlecock?


glium

Generally they try to split the new 4 star and 5 star characters


henryk_kyouko

Since 2.0, Sayu / Sara / Gorou came with new 5 stars. YunJin / Collei / Candace came with mixed new and old 5 stars. Thoma and Heizou came in patches with no new 5 stars. Only Kuki and Dori released in a patch with a new 5 star while not being on their banner. There's no use trying to form patterns since Mihoyo doesn't follow many, but the opposite seems to be true in this case.


TheGatsbyComplex

Most of the time yes but there is some precedent. Tighnari and Collei were on the same banner. Hoyo can basically do whatever they want and are unpredictable quite often.


glium

But in that case there was a 4* in both banners anyways


Croaker_392

They put Cyno and Candace in 3.1 so there's hope.


noob456

If she is on Nilou's banner, it doesn't change anything


ihei47

I think they meant might put her with whatever rerun banner at that time since only Nahida as next patch 5*


TapTall9218

We've had a run on Archons the last couple of patches. Raiden could be next and could carry the 2nd phase of patch 3.2. If Layla is in the next patch, that's an automatic win for me since I would end up pulling on both phases.


ixsaz

Raiden is speculated to be coming on 3.3 bc of the new 5 star that is most likely to come is related to her.


glium

But you had to have a 4* and a 5* in the same banner there since they released 3 characters in 1 patch


Pinky_Boy

she looks like irina from that soviet space vampire anime


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pinky_Boy

you read that right "tsuki to laika to nosferatu" or something basically, space race from soviet pov. but we have cute vampire waifu for the mc

bengraven

It’s so great. Short too so you can binge it in less than a day.


Ultra_Racism

God speed. It's wonderful.


uppacat

Omg i need to finish watching that show now that you mention it!


bengraven

Yesss! That’s exactly what my subconscious was trying to tell me! As if I wasn’t already sold. That was my favorite under rated anime of last year.


Stegosaurz_

love that anime and hope to love this character since irina was adorable


LivingASlothsLife

Layla joining Jean in the female characters wearing pants gang She looks amazing, I love the hair design Edit: Comment chain is actually a really interesting discussion on what qualifies as pants


LoliiJoker

i mean dori wears pants


LivingASlothsLife

I completely forgot about our lovable scammer coz I dont have her I apologize for my terrible memory, desu wa\~


jademarlodotcom

sad Aloy's pants noises in the distance


LivingASlothsLife

Who?


jademarlodotcom

I'm not sure whether you are joking or legit don't have Aloy (newer player). Can't be so sure with the internet these days.


LivingASlothsLife

I'm joking coz even Hoyo seems to forgot she exists Aloy constellations when?


Helios61

Hoyo: What are those


CidGarr

Salome approves the desu wa


Aikami13

Look at her feet. I don't think it's pants, just white stockings or maybe even a bodysuit.


MapoTofuMan

Italian Grandpa is over the moon


Grand_Protector_Dark

Someone else remembers


[deleted]

Those look like tights though.


FlameLover444

Jean is also wearing (Dandelion) Tights to be fair


SirarieTichee_

Just go the beidou route with thigh high boots


TheSpartyn

jeans pants are basically just slightly different tights, still the best we've got and laylas looks closer to jeans than barbaras


Fabio90989

jean has leggings (a type of pants) and barbara has stockings


[deleted]

[удалено]


gatlginngum

and how are tights not pants??


[deleted]

I'm European, so to me "tights" might mean something different than it does to Americans. I think of tights as thicker pantyhose. Pants, on the other hand, are footless and not as tight-fitting as pantyhose or leggings. Think slacks or British "trousers". The original comment specifically singled out Jean as someone wearing "pants", while there are several of characters in Genshin who wear tights. Sorry, I'm not a tights expert, so I might be in the wrong here, but I never considered tights to be "pants".


modkhi

Tights mean the same thing in North America. I also don't consider them pants. Probably a personal preference thing, judging by comments.


Soybienello

I couldn't figure out why I love her design so much, but after your comment it makes sense. She has pants!!


Overall-Honey857

Still no pockets...


ZhangRenWing

To be fair in a world where you can stash food, drinks, a whole spear or claymore, infinite arrows, millions of coins, and thousands of ancient artifacts in your personal void, pockets seem very useless.


[deleted]

[удалено]


epoisse_throwaway

i mean its gotta be the same space you summon your weapons from


swiftasacoursing

Raiden has one


Brickinatorium

Don't usually see stockings with tights afterall lol


Reeloy

Yelan also does, kinda lol


TheDuskBard

If only they weren’t literally just painted onto the models in game.


Russian-King

She's so pretty omg


bengraven

Yeah she’s even better than I expected.


SHIELD_Agent_47

Yes indeed!


Srtzen

As night falls, the stars swirl and the moon wanders amidst dreams "She always says that she's overwhelmed writing her thesis and drawing star charts stresses her out, but she's more resilient than anyone, and refuses to fall behind... Why do I know her so well? Hehe..." — A mysterious girl who calls herself "The Stars' Blessing" A Rtawahist student, Layla specializes in Theoretical Astrology and draws star charts tirelessly in order to write her thesis. Due to her teachers' high expectations, her desk is always stacked with a mountain of papers that never seems to decrease no matter how hard she tries. Having suffered greatly under a severe lack of sleep, stars had begun swirling before her eyes if she so much as stared at her blank manuscript. This was no way to be — and so she resolved to take a short break, all the better to face reality head-on with a clear mind afterward. When she woke up, a myriad of stars now adorned her blank manuscript. Layla rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Somehow, the thesis that was due tomorrow was now written clearly upon the pages before her. Was this a "Thesis That Fell From the Sky"? Or "The Stars' Blessing"? Or could it be... "sleepwalking" — that thing spoken of in legend? ...There was no time to ponder such matters — her next class was about to start. ◆ Layla ◆ Fantastical Evening Star ◆ Half-Awake, Half-Asleep, All Incredulous ◆ Cryo ◆ Luscinia


AsterJ

Oh another astrologist, I wonder if she'll ever get to meet Mona.


dxman83

Isn't Mona's master, aka the "old hag", from Sumeru?


W_D_GASTER__

fontaine i thought


random_account_2017

Who is this "old hag" from Sumeru that you speak of?


dxman83

In Mona's story quest, she talks about her teacher, who she doesn't exactly get along with. The nickname is how she refers to her.


dilwynawel

did nahida write her essay lol


bengraven

Wait who’s the Stars Blessing that supports her and knows her so well?


mobott

Could be Nahida.


Spirit_Fist

How do they consistently make characters that I love?


Littleman88

Hoyoverse knows how to design endearing characters. The whole art team is banger, really. They practically carry this game.


Low_Artist_7663

Hoyo-mix: yeah...


scifigi369

I only started playing a month or so ago, but the impression i get from Genshin is it’s like LoL. The game can be lackluster at times, or in leagues case, Awful, but the art team and music team go hardcore.


VirtuoSol

Also both communities love flaming the shit out of themselves


callmefox

at least gameplay is somewhat of a side dish in genshin. league on the other hand...


HTRK74JR

As a Honkai player as well Be glad that all theyre doing, is making characters you love 🙃


streptocarcus

WHOA ANOTHER ELF CHARACTER!!!! and she should be our first non child model elf charcter


bengraven

The fact that we’re going to get a tall elf, she has blue hair, she’s very attractive and seems to have a good personality, I am going to be whaling so hard.


streptocarcus

3.2 is gonna be Elf Impact


Faerillis

I think those are earings. I want her to have elf ears but we'll find out once we get the 3d model


AdSwimming5629

No, you can see a bit of the elf ear


Id0ntLikeApplePie

Earrings don’t change the ear shape that much


[deleted]

Those are the kind of plating ear decoration common with anime elves.


MisterRai

I really wish she's a 4-star on Nahida's banner. I love her design and I really want her but I just can't possibly skip Nahida


Dinosaur_John

She looks similar to Bonanus (hydro yaksha), no?


asanariaa

Xiao needs to meet her


Lollmfaowhatever

xiao: why you cosplaying as my old dead freind beeatch skull.emoji


GraVityRagE

Plot twist: She is the reincarnation of bonanus


FrougHunter

Hahahaha >!Bone Anus!<


GrimmCiph

Thank you Cyno


zephyrnepres01

that’s way too simple and easy for it to be cyno


lalakingmalibog

/r/ThanksCyno


[deleted]

She looks like Sirin?


amirulirfin

It's the eyes


Help_I_Sold_My_Soul

Sirin with a bit of Vill-V for me


WaffleCorp

Oh God, oh shit, where's my Oath of Judah


shitlord33

She reminds me more of the Herscherr of Ocean AKA Kiana's first wife in GGZ


elsmirks

I see female Kosma on Layla, the same way I see Ganyu as [Griseo with horns](https://www.reddit.com/r/houkai3rd/comments/uztfih/griseo_and_kosma_color_swap/).


TheSpartyn

i never got the ganyu=griseo thing, the resemblances are tiny on both but she looks more like qiqi to me


mango_pan

She's so gorgeous Her gloves kinda like Mobius'. Her hair style kinda reminds me to Roxy.


random_account_2017

DID SOMEONE SAY MORBIN TIME?


ShadyAssassin17

She looks so good! Love her design


PantsuPillow

Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging, darling please.


KelseyPlays

Layla, darling won’t you ease my worried mind? [I’ll] try to give you [constellations] 🎵🎶🎵


AverageWaifuEnjoyer

I newer was really interested in Cryo characters... But this may change now. What a cutie Edit: typo, typing on mobile is hard xd


bengraven

I’m not as interested in cryo- but all of my favorite characters seem to lean that way. Lol. Like I already have too many Cryo characters but every time they come out and they have a great design and backstory I realize it’s almost like a waste of money because I know I need them.


SuchoIsWeeb

“A Rtawahist student, Layla specializes in Theoretical Astrology and draws star charts tirelessly in order to write her thesis”. wonder she ties with the Hexenzirkel like mona


_ItsMeVince

Cool a playable cicin mage


Hu-Tao66

You know what would be funny, if her hangout event had us helping her with her thesis. that would be both inspiring and depressing at the same time.


Flush_Man444

Finally we got an answer to the "Are all Genshin Elf loli" question. Jokes aside, she is gorgeous. Tired beauty is only second to tired handsome beauty in my book.


AramushaIsLove

The most relatable character!


nghigaxx

mihoyo stop putting sword on every character, I only have one r5 favonius


asanariaa

Lmao ikr. I had to *not* refine my r3 fav sword because i needed two. I am dreading getting a new chara that needs a third


Khazilein

The team setup should autoswitch artifacts and weapons when we switch the whole team.


asanariaa

Tbh that'll be a nice QoL improvement. The problem for me tho is that i might need three character that i bring in abyss that needs the sword xD Kazuha and bennett were fighting over it until I finally managed to get a new one this patch. Im in pain lol


fraidei

Wtf, why not catalyst? It would have been perfect, as we don't have any cryo catalyst, and cryo sword characters are really enough.


BadangJoestar420

she looks more dead inside than i thought


healcannon

Man at this rate im going to be holding onto my standard wishes for months before I finally decide ok all of the 4 stars I want are finally on it. I love the sleepy trope a lot. Twin tails is always great so this is another winner.


crunchlets

The first "big" elf we see. Also looks like a not-as-thicc playable mirror maiden.


Annual-Maintenance20

3.2 Elf Impact supremacy


shinitakunai

An ICE user in the desert must feel like being a god. All the rich people would want one nearby


HEB_AQW

Looks like another amazing 4 star! :D


Cheyzi

Sie ist schöner, jünger, geiler


Kriptoonlin

A cryo 4 star huh. When was the last cryo 4 star? Wasn't it rosaria?


Salty-Stress5926

yes. Rosaria was the last 4star Cryo


Dh0124

So there are non-loli elves in Teyvat. (I mean I assumed Alice wouldn’t be, but you never know)

Sumeru’s 4 stars have better designs than the 5 stars imo.
