It's post time! Today's blog post will be about the newest Genshin Impact update. Not much has been released for the new update yet, but the banners for Arataki Itto and the Wanderer are out now. The new Genius Invocation TCG card game is available now as well, and it finally allows the players access to the Cat's Tail Tavern in Mondstadt. The newest story quest is available now too, and more events are on their way. Since this update marks the official release of Scaramouche as a playable character, the new story quest also features him. Many fans were surprised to find out his element would be anemo, but it seems to fit him pretty well. If you're interested in any of the banner characters but you're still unsure about if you want them, the trial run is available as always this update. Trying out Itto and Wanderer will reward you with 20 primogems each regardless. With the new quests and events will also come more primogems, so you all should have some time to build up for whatever characters you may want. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post! Good luck to anyone pulling for new characters!

It's time for yet another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be listing ten of my favorite characters from Naruto Shippuden. I know the new Genshin Impact update is debuting today, but that can wait until tomorrow's post. Since I mentioned it before, I wanted to do this list before I forgot. It will also give everyone a much needed break from the Genshin Impact posts. So, let's get on with it! Please remember these aren't really in any particular order, as well. Enjoy!

1.) Deidara

2.) Gaara

3.) Sasori

4.) Suigetsu Hozuki

5.) Orochimaru

6.) Sai

7.) Kakashi Hatake

8.) Hidan

9.) Itachi Uchiha

10.) Kabuto Yakushi

It's time for another new post! I've been doing a lot of posts for Genshin Impact and Pokemon recently, so today I decided to do something different. Instead, I'll be listing my favorite characters from some of my favorite things. I'll be listing quite a few characters, so no pictures this time. I just wanted to share some of my favorites with you all. Please remember these aren't really in any specific order, as well. Enjoy!

1.) 707 from Mystic Messenger

2.) Kaito the Vocaloid

3.) Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh

4.) James from Pokemon

5.) Xiao and Venti from Genshin Impact (I couldn't choose just one)

6.) L from Death Note

7.) Deidara from Naruto Shippuden

8.) Natsu from Fairy Tail

9.) Hamtaro from Hamtaro

10.) Whisper and Jibanyan from Yokai Watch (Another difficult decision)

I may make another list like this in the future, but for now I just wanted to list a few. I'd also like to make a list of some of my favorite characters from Naruto Shippuden soon, because I have a lot. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Is Xiao emotionless 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. For most people, Xiao seems very cold and uncaring. It seems like there are few things to suggest otherwise. However, there have actually been quite a few things to suggest otherwise. If you have Xiao, his voice lines make it clear that he cares for the traveler. He has also saved the traveler more than once during story quests. Aside from the traveler, he has shown a bit of care for the other adepti, and he also goes out of his way to help humans and ghosts. So why does he seem so uncaring? Well, it's actually for a few reasons. First of all, adepti are usually very formal creatures. The ones who are more casual are often part human, or they have lived with humans for a long time. Xiao has lost many companions in the past as well, which would make it difficult for him to make new connections. Finally, Xiao is plagued with his karmic burden. The corruption not only affects him, but also those around him. This means he has to keep his distance for their own safety. This is actually the main reason Xiao is very distant. Not only is he not familiar with other people, but it's dangerous for others too. I know I've talked about Xiao and his personality a few times already, but it's just because I've seen so many people see him as a cold loner when that isn't the case at all. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post.

Can all adepti shape-shift 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, adepti can often shift from animal forms to human forms. This can be seen with Xiao and Ganyu, who are usually human-like but also have adepti forms. However, there are also quite a few who have not changed their shape. Cloud Retainer, Mountain Shaper, and Moon Carver are all always in their animal adepti forms; and Madame Ping is also always an elderly woman. Although it's implied that all adepti can change their shapes, we actually haven't gotten any concrete evidence for this. Aside from Zhongli (who is an archon), we haven't seen any of the adepti look different than they normally do. Outside of the game, there's also been confirmation that Xiao and Ganyu can change. Even when we got a character who was assumed to be Cloud Retainer, it turned out she was someone else who simply resembled her. Because of this, it's difficult to say if the other adepti really can change. Until it actually happens, there's nothing to say they can. Although there also isn't anything saying they can't, fans shouldn't look forward to any of the current adepti getting different forms. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Should Ash Ketchum finally grow up in Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although Ash has been around for a very long time now, he's still the same age he's always been. This is much different from other long-running series that almost always age up their characters. This has been seen with Naruto, Dragon Ball, and even Yu-Gi-Oh in later years. Despite this, Ash has never aged a day. He's even had a few birthdays, but none have been permanent. Part of the fun of watching an anime for a long time is watching the characters grow with you. But Ash hasn't grown at all, which makes watching the new seasons as an adult feel odd. I know the show was originally created for kids, but those kids have long since grown up. This makes being an original fan of the series a bit difficult. None of the content has grown with us, which makes it difficult to relate to. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. It's hard to say if anything Pokemon related will ever change. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's the first of December! That means it's technically the start of the winter season; even though it's been cold for a while now. Either way, I will still be listing five ice-type Pokemon for you all today. Enjoy!

1.) Dewgong

2.) Spheal

3.) Vanillite

4.) Bergmite

5.) Snom
