Where are the wings of feasting in Genshin Impact? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, this special wind glider was added as part of a collaboration with KFC. To obtain this wind glider, you needed to buy a special Genshin Impact meal from KFC. Although it was added to the Chinese server as part of the collaboration, it was supposed to be released globally by July. It was unclear of how the wings would be obtained outside of China, since all of that information was set to be released in July. However, it's July 31st and no further information was ever given for this item. So, where are they? Well, there's a chance Mihoyo simply, forgot about them. On the other hand, the method of obtaining these wings may not have gone over well in China. It's also possible that Mihoyo's announcement for this wind glider is just late. Whatever the case may be, it seems as though this new wind glider is currently stuck in production limbo. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As always, I will be including a picture of the wings of feasting below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's time for another list! So, the blog post for today will be a list of three Sanrio characters I like; along with a picture of each. I haven't mentioned Sanrio on this blog in a while, and these are some of my favorite characters. So, I wanted to share them with you all. Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Chococat

2.) Little Twin Stars

3.) Kirimichan

It's time for a list! So for today's blog post, I will be listing three Genshin Impact boys that I like; along with a picture of each. These aren't necessarily my favorites, just some of the ones I like. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Xiao

2.) Xingqiu

3.) Chongyun

Ready for another new blog post? The blog post for today will be about the Statues Of The Seven from Genshin Impact. These statues can be found throughout Teyvat, and they each depict the archon of the region. Activating these statues will unlock more areas of your map, and it will make the statue a teleport point. Upgrading the statues can also unlock new abilities, as well. If your characters are injured, standing near the statue or using the statue's blessing can heal them. If you're in different regions, you can also use the statues to resonate with different elements. For example, the statues in Mondstadt let you resonate with Anemo, the statues in Liyue let you resonate with Geo, and the statues in Inazuma let you resonate with Electro. As always, I will be including a picture of a Statue Of The Seven below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Cascoon. Cascoon is a bug-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Wurmple. It is also the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Dustox. This Pokemon makes its cocoon by wrapping its body up in a fine silk. Its silk comes from its mouth as well, and the silk will harden once it surrounds Cascoon's body. Once inside of its cocoon, Cascoon will remain motionless while it awaits evolution. Cascoon will remain still even while it is being attacked as well, and it does this to keep its body strong for evolution. As always, I will be including a picture of Cascoon below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! The blog post for today will be about the Pokemon Silcoon. Silcoon is a bug-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Wurmple. It is also the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Beautifly. This Pokemon tethers itself to a branch while it awaits evolution. While it is waiting, it peers out of its cocoon through a small hole. Although people originally thought that it starved while it was waiting to evolve, it is now believed to drink the rainwater it collects in its silk. As always, I will be including a picture of Silcoon below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! Today's blog post will be about a fan-made Pokemon plushie. This plushie is a Metapod plushie that can "evolve" into a Butterfree. Despite its simple-sounding design, this plushie is actually very well-made and detailed. The plush was shown off in a video that the creator shared on Reddit. Although many people would like one of these plushies for themselves, the creator said they will not be putting this plushie in their store. This is because they're rather difficult to make, and they take quite a bit of time. But if anyone is really interested in it, it will be available as a commission. It may be a bit pricey, though. If any of you would like to see the plush for yourselves, I will be including the link to the original Reddit post below. Enjoy!

It's time for yet another new blog post! For today's blog post, I'll actually be talking about today's Google Doodle. Today's Google Doodle is a game, and it is called Doodle Champion Island Games. This game is based in Japan, and it's filled with little bits of Japanese culture. Along with this, it's a sports game. The game centers around the main character needing to defeat the island leaders in various sports challenges. Despite being a small game, it has fully animated cutscenes and a good storyline. It even lets you choose one of four teams to play on. It's based on older JRPGs too, and most of the game is played in the pixel art style. If any of you would like to check it out for yourselves, you simply have to go to Google and click today's doodle. But if you see this post later, you simply have to search the game's name. I would recommend trying it, since it's entertaining and pretty easy to play. But, that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! The blog post for today will be about Mihoyo's recent announcement regarding the seven nations of Teyvat. For those of you who don't know, Genshin Impact will have seven nations in total when all is said and done. However, it currently only has three. Although fans are very eager to see the four remaining archons and nations, Mihoyo has said the remaining nations will be added over the next four years. It's hard to say if there will be more areas added than the other nations, since Dragonspine was added and it isn't one of the seven nations. But as far as the seven nations are concerned, they are planned to be added one at a time over the course of the next four years. Well, that's all for today's post! Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing five baby Pokemon I like; along with a picture of each. These aren't my favorite baby Pokemon, just some of the ones I like. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Togepi

2.) Petilil

3.) Pichu

4.) Teddiursa

5.) Mudkip

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about some of the new things that were added in Genshin Impact's new update. Although I said I would talk about Inazuma in more detail in today's post, Inazuma is a blocked nation surrounded by water. Because of this, I can only assume it unlocks with a story quest. However, other things have been added. One thing is the adventure rank system. Instead of having an ascension quest every five levels, the cap has been raised to every ten levels. Not only that, but the necessary adventure rank for story quests has been lowered. There have also been some additions to the Serenitea Pot, including the ability to feed the dogs. There are new story quests available, as well. There is also a new character banner and weapons banner available in the wish gacha. I may have missed a few new additions, but these are the things I've noticed so far. I would like to apologize for not being able to give more details on Inazuma at the moment. But, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Version 2.0 of Genshin Impact is up and running! As of 11 p.m., the new update is finished here in the states. This new update includes Inazuma, which is a new region on the map. It will also have some new characters as well, and it introduces the electro archon; Baal. This is the largest update so far, and it took five hours of server maintenance to complete. For compensation, players will be rewarded with Primogens. Although this is pretty similar to the post I already made, I can't say much of anything else. I can only add that Inazuma is south of Liyue, and it is a very big addition to the map. I'll go into more details in tomorrow's post, so stay tuned if you're interested! Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why is the gacha in Genshin Impact so unfair? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although it seems a bit immature to complain about the gacha system in a video game, the system in Genshin Impact is actually rather unbalanced. It makes sense for some characters to be more difficult to get than others, but it still shouldn't be such a challenge. I've played gacha games before, and Genshin Impact is by far the most unfair one yet. Wishes can almost exclusively be purchased with Primogens, which can take a very long time to stock up. Not only that, but buying Genesis Crystals for more Primogens can become costly. Since the gachas aren't just for characters, you'll always end up with mostly weapons whenever you try to pull for a character. I personally think it would be better to just have a wish for characters and a wish for weapons separately. At least that would even the odds a little. I've seen many people say they've spent thousands of Primogens without even getting the character they wanted, and I myself have only successfully been able to receive six characters from the wish; two of which I already had and two of which were guaranteed pulls. Despite having played the wishes multiple times and trying for a character every chance I got, I still have hardly any characters. I have a lot of unnecessary weapons, though. I know I'm not the only fan who dislikes this, so hopefully Mihoyo fixes this in the future. I understand Mihoyo still has to make money from their free-to-play game, but such an unfair system is a bit ridiculous. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! The blog post for today will be about the song Vigilant Yaksha. Vigilant Yaksha is a song based on Xiao from Genshin Impact, and it is sung by Xiao's official Chinese voice actor. Along with this, it was produced by MiXiao. Although it started as a fan song, Mihoyo actually gave permission for Xiao's voice actor to sing it. This song has become very popular among the Genshin Impact fans, and many fans see it as an official character song for Xiao. However, it's only officially available in its original Chinese version. As of right now, there haven't been any plans for the other voice actors for Xiao to sing it in any other languages. Nonetheless, I'll be including the link for the official song below so you guys can check it out for yourselves. As a little bonus, I will also be including the link for an English cover I found that I like. Enjoy!

It's time for a list! So for today's blog post, I will be listing three characters who have had an influence on my life; along with a picture of each. I'll also include a little explanation of how they've influenced me, as well. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) 707 from Mystic Messenger - 707 has been a big part of my life since I first started playing the game. He helped me cope with things, he helped me discover some new interests, and he even helped me learn a bit about myself.

2.) Kaito from the Vocaloids - Kaito has influenced my music taste for years now. He helped me expand my horizons, and I wouldn't have even been interested in Vocaloids if it wasn't for him.

3.) Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh - Although I don't watch Yu-Gi-Oh much now, it was actually one of the first anime I watched. The show itself has helped me find new anime I like, and I wouldn't have even remembered the show if it wasn't for my favorite character. Yami Yugi himself also helped influence parts of my personality.

It's list time! So, today's post will be a list of the three known archons from Genshin Impact, along with a picture of each. Since there's only three, I decided to list them in order of my favorites. I will also be including their names, which vision they control, and the area they are in charge of. Minor spoilers, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Venti (Barbatos), archon of Anemo and Mondstadt

2.) Zhongli (Morax, Rex Lapis), archon of Geo and Liyue

3.) Baal, archon of Electro and Inazuma

What time is it? Post time! The blog post for today will be about the Pokemon Trumbeak. Trumbeak is a normal/flying-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Pikipek. It is also the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Toucannon. This Pokemon can store the seeds from the berries it eats in its beak. When it encounters enemies or prey, it will fire the seeds off in a large burst. Along with this, these seeds will grow into new plants. By bending the tip of its beak, Trumbeak even has the ability to create over a hundred different cries at will. As always, I will be including a picture of Trumbeak below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's list time! For today's blog post, I will be listing three English covers of Pinocchio-P songs; along with a link for each. But before I do that, I would like to mention that these covers use the original videos. Along with this, Pinocchio-P usually uses very bright colors and flashing images. So if you get overwhelmed easily or you're sensitive to flashing lights, please use caution when clicking on the links for these videos. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

It's time to post! Today's blog post will be about the Wangshu Inn from Genshin Impact. The Wangshu Inn is an inn in Liyue, and it is found right before Guili Plains. It is a small little safe spot where visitors come to rest. Along with this, it is run by Verr Goldet and her husband, Huai'an. Wangshu Inn also sells food too, and it is said to be where Xiao resides. Even though the inn just seems like a rest spot, it has a bit of mystery behind it as well. As always, I will be including a picture of the Wangshu Inn below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

3, 2, 1, post time! The blog post for today will be about the Pokemon Greedent. Greedent is a normal-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Skwovet. This Pokemon stores berries in its tail. However, it always stores too many. The berries constantly fall out because of this, but Greedent is too slow-witted to notice. Greedent is commonly found throughout the Galar region, as well. It also has very strong teeth, and its teeth are strong enough to bite through even the toughest berry shells. As always, I will be including a picture of Greedent below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Inazuma region in Genshin Impact. Inazuma is the newest area in the game, and it's set to be released later this month. It will be based on Japan, and it will be just as big as Liyue and Mondstadt. Although not much is currently known about Inazuma, the 2.0 update for the game will be one of the biggest updates for the game thus far. The update will be adding Inazuma, along with nine new characters; including a new archon. Although this isn't very much, I'll most likely be talking about Inazuma in more detail after it is released. But as of right now, I don't want to spread any false rumors. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Mystic Messenger's fifth anniversary! To celebrate this occasion, Cheritz has prepared a few things. First of all, there is a new in-game title illustration. To see this new picture, you just have to log into the game between now and the 31st. For the second part of the celebration, Cheritz is holding an Instagram event. To participate in this event, you simply have to write a letter full of love to the RFA members of your choice. You can write multiple letters, and seven lucky winners will get a reply. Along with this, 14 winners will be rewarded with 100 hourglasses. The official Instagram is MysticMessenger_official_E, and this event is open until the 20th. Finally, Cheritz has released new Mystic Messenger merchandise on the official Cheritz shop. Even though this merchandise was just released, I know for a fact most of it has already sold out. So if any of you want it, you may want to get it as soon as they restock. As always, I will be including a picture of the in-game title illustration below so you guys can see what it looks like. I will also be including the link for the official Tumblr announcement below, as well. Enjoy! Happy anniversary Mystic Messenger!

Why does Venti go unnoticed in Genshin Impact? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There may be some spoilers though, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! So, why doesn't anyone recognize Venti as the Anemo Archon Barbatos? Even though he looks like a normal person, he still resembles the statues found in and around Mondstadt. Along with this, he's a bard just like Barbatos. He even knows about the holy lyre, and he temporarily fixed it after it was broken. But despite this, even the sisters at the church of Barbatos refuse to believe it's him. Why is this? Well, it could just be because they refuse to believe their archon is a child. Even though Venti is thousands of years old, he appears to be quite young. He also acts differently than an archon is expected to, and he seems much too childish and carefree to hold this large responsibility. However, it could also just be because the citizens of Mondstadt are very oblivious. Whatever the case may be, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Was the drama surrounding the song Candle Queen necessary? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, Candle Queen is a GHOST song; and it was sung by Gumi. The song is about a girl who grew up thinking throwing tantrums will get her anything she wants. This is because she learned this as a child, and was never taught differently as she grew up. This ended up causing her to push everyone away, but it was too late for her to change. However, people started trying to find hidden meanings in the song. This caused people to relate the song to personality disorders, even though it wasn't even based on any. Instead of seeing the song for what it was, people decided to portray it in a negative light and accuse the creators of negatively portraying mental illnesses. This clearly wasn't justified, as it made fans of the song very angry. The song is not actually based on any mental illnesses, and it's more similar to a villain song. Those who relate the song to any disorders clearly already see these disorders in a negative light. So instead of targeting a song that has nothing to do with what they're accusing it of, perhaps they should find out what's wrong with themselves. To show my support for the song, I'll be including the link below. Enjoy!

It's tanabata! Although tanabata was technically yesterday in Japan, it's the 7th here in the states. So, I decided to talk about it anyways. Although there isn't very much anime that depicts tanabata, it can be found here and there. The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya focuses on it, and Hatoful Boyfriend included the bamboo wish trees in the summer festival. It even included the paper wishes, and it let the player make her own wish. So, if any of you are interested in celebrating this holiday (even a day late), make a wish, put it on a tanzaku, hang it up, and maybe check out an anime. Happy tanabata everyone!

Why are there so many abusive or absent parents in anime? Well, that's the subject of today's blog post! Although this trope isn't only used in anime and manga, it is a very common thing to see in this type of media. So, why is this? The answer is, character building! Many characters are based almost solely on their traumatic past. Although this is a bit morbid, it does make a more empathetic hero. Parents are usually the first caring people a child meets. So, making the parents abusive or nonexistent adds more depth to a character. Even though this makes sense for the story, it can seem a bit tired. It can also have negative affects on any fans who experienced a similar problem. I personally would prefer if anime and manga, along with other media, chose a different way to add depth to their characters. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Is anime food really better? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Many anime fans often say the food in anime looks better than real food, and things like Food Wars and Studio Ghibli are praised for their beautiful depictions of food. But is it really better? The answer is, kind of. Food in anime looks better because of how vibrant it is. The colors are brighter than colors found in the real world, and the food is often made to look more appetizing with extra details or steam. This makes the food look more realistic, but it often makes the food look more appetizing than real food. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's the fourth of July! So, as always, I will be celebrating the holiday with three Independence Day-themed anime pictures. Since the fourth of July is an American holiday, there isn't any anime content for it; which is why I simply include pictures. However, these aren't my pictures; so please support the original artist! Enjoy! Happy Independence Day!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Baja Blastoise. Although there has been quite a few pieces of fan art made for this combination of Mountain Dew and Pokemon, the Reddit user SarcasticTacos recently made one that has gained quite a bit of attention. This specific piece of fan art is really well-made, and a few people have even made articles about it. I myself am rather impressed with it as well, and I think it may be my favorite version of Baja Blastoise. If any of you would like to see it for yourselves, I will be including the link to the original Reddit post below. Enjoy!

Are new baby Pokemon necessary? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although many people like the small first evolutions of Pokemon, they're often received differently when added to a pre-existing evolutionary line. This has happened with many Pokemon, and sometimes the additions seem unnecessary. Baby Pokemon like Pichu, Mime Jr., and Smoochum weren't received as well as some of the others. This is because they were added to Pokemon that either didn't evolve, or already had a full evolution line. These Pokemon obviously still have their fans, but many people don't even remember they exist now. That doesn't make them unnecessary, but they're often more forgettable than baby Pokemon that were there since the beginning. Since people are already used to the Pokemon as they were, adding a baby Pokemon to the line doesn't make much of a difference. On the other hand, adding a new final evolution often makes the whole line more popular and memorable. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the books in Genshin Impact. I know talking about books found in a video game is silly, but I find them quite interesting. Not only are there books spread out through Teyvat that you can collect, but you can also read all of the collected books in the archive. Plus, the books often have different volumes that you can find to read the rest of the book. I think it's impressive that each collected book holds an actual story, and many of them are actually pretty good. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I do recommend reading some of the in-game stories, though. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
