Is Katheryne from Genshin Impact a robot? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although it seems as though Katheryne of the adventurers guild is a human, many fans think she isn't. This is mostly because there is more than one Katheryne; which is seen when Mondstadt Katheryne asks the traveler to deliver a message to the Katheryne in Liyue. Since there are multiple Katherynes, people assume she's actually a robot. It is also because if you stand near her, you can hear her say "error" and "rebooting". Even though the Katheryne in Inazuma mentions teleporting from place to place, she later says that it was just a joke. But, it's difficult to say if she really is a robot or not. Most of the robots we see are the chaos devices like ruin guards, which are nothing like humans. Some people theorize Katheryne is a more advanced robot from somewhere like Sumeru, but there isn't much of any proof of that. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Given the information we have now, all we can do is wait until more is revealed about her. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! The blog post for today will be about Cookie Run: Kingdom. This game is by Devsisters, and it is from South Korea. Along with this, it was released in January of 2021. Although this game may not be traditionally anime, it is really popular in the anime community. The Genshin Impact fandom has really claimed it, and there was even a collaboration between Cookie Run: Kingdom and Sonic The Hedgehog. This game is a free to play mobile app, and it's a kingdom builder game. Along with this, it also features gacha elements and a combat system. The gacha system also allows you to get new characters, among other things. Even though Cookie Run has been around for a while now, this latest addition is by far the most popular. As always, I will be including a picture of Cookie Run: Kingdom below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Are shiny Pokemon better than their normal counterparts? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although shiny Pokemon are more rare, does that really make them better? Some people really like shiny Pokemon, and they even spend hours shiny hunting for them. Some shiny Pokemon really are nice, and some can even be better than the original. However, that doesn't mean they all are. When it all comes down to it, they really are just a different color. It may be a neat little accomplishment to have your own shiny Pokemon, or even your own shiny team; but they really are just a different color from their normal variants. They aren't kept a secret, and shiny forms of practically any Pokemon can easily be found with a quick Google search. Happening upon a shiny Pokemon by chance can be exhilarating. But, it feels excessive to spend hours searching for them. Just because they're unique, it doesn't mean they're better than all of the others. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Are humans and Pokemon the same? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although I have talked about Pokemon being humans in the past, there still seems to be some uncertainty within the fandom. Even though it has been confirmed in the games and Pokedex entries before, some fans just don't believe it. However, it's true. Humans and Pokemon may not be exactly the same, but some Pokemon are derived from humans. Not only are some Pokemon just directly evolved from humans, but humans and Pokemon used to be very very close. Some Pokemon are still rather humanoid as well, and this can be seen with Gardevoir or Gallade. Along with this, it even states in the Pokedex that Kadabra was a boy with extrasensory powers who woke up one day to find he was a Pokemon. One of the many egg groups in Pokemon is even known as the human-like egg group; which is named that because the Pokemon in it all resemble humans. So although humans and Pokemon aren't the exact same now, there was a time when they were almost identical. Pokemon also seem to have human levels of intelligence and understanding, but that one is just my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Since I talked about things the Genshin Impact fandom pick on Xiao for yesterday, I decided to talk about Zhongli today. For those of you who don't know, Zhongli is known for a few lines. However, one of them is "Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember... But where are those who share the memory?". It's a nice, sad sentence that is obviously filled with melancholy. So, the fandom turned it into a meme. It's unclear why they did this, since mourning your lost loved ones isn't usually seen as funny. But, they did. Although it isn't the only morbid joke within the fandom, it is one of the most prominent ones. Other ones are about Kazuha's friend and Diluc's father. Although I'm fine with people making light of dark topics, making so much fun out of a rather serious line kind of rubs me the wrong way. But, that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! So for today's blog post, I will be clearing up a few jokes surrounding Xiao from Genshin Impact. It's true there are a few jokes in bad taste within the fandom, like people making fun of Zhongli for missing his long gone friends. But, Xiao actually has a few of them; most likely because people want to find humor in a serious character. First of all, Xiao isn't an edgelord. People assume this because of his attitude and appearance, but he isn't. He's a serious person who is afraid of attachment and worried he'll accidentally hurt someone close to him. These fears make him distance himself from others, and close himself off emotionally. Secondly, Xiao doesn't like almond tofu because it's sweet. Fans think it's funny that such a serious character likes a dessert, but he actually likes it because it reminds him of the dreams he used to eat. Along with this, he can't stomach other human food. Lastly, Xiao eating snow isn't a joke. He thinks of it as just another food, and people used to eat snow in times of famine. Although it's unclear why he eats snow, it is clear that he has had to eat it sometime in the past and now just sees it as a food. So, I hope this post cleared some things up. Although I only covered three things in this post, that's just because they're pretty much the only things people pick on him for. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's list time! So for today's blog post, I will be ranking Mystic Messenger music out of ten. Five characters, five themes. These aren't necessarily my favorite songs from the game, but I do really like the themes. So, I've decided to rank them. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) 707 - Geniously Hacked Bebop - 10/10 By far my favorite. It's happy and boppy and super energetic.

2.) Jumin - Urban Night Cityscape - 9/10 A very nice and calm piece, but it can make you feel pretty melancholic.

3.) Yoosung - Same Old Fresh Air - 10/10 This song is very light and happy, just like Yoosung.

4.) Zen - Narcissistic Jazz - 10/10 This one is also pretty upbeat. It's pretty smooth and fun to listen to.

5.) Jaehee - Lonesome Practicalism - 9/10 This song fits Jaehee just as well as the other themes fit the other characters. It's nice and calm. But, it has the same somewhat melancholic tone that Jumin's theme has.
